leans down & kisses him. ♡

PLACED 'PON THE CROWN of his head was that of a gentle kiss━ eyebrows are raised up in surprise, with cerulean peers gazing away from that of his mp3 player, in favor of focusing his attention on is lover instead. he blinks; once, then twice, ( patiently waiting ) for what he'd assumed would've been a confession of love, was instead met with silence befalling the two.

a minute would pass than another, and yet no such exchange would happen. as though, what he had done was simply nothing more than a reminder. ( ❝ Ah, I get it.❞ ) or so he thought. expression while appearing emotionless at first, had found itself changing. — with the first of it being that of his pale soft cheeks blossoming into rose color dust, than the sweetest of smiles curved along tender lips.

❛ Yū— ❜ and as though, Yū had foreseen what was happening. he'd is quick to act ! not allowing his words to finish nor get much of a start, without hesitation he had leaned down to have their lips meet one another. ( it's a sweet kiss though ) one that was neither heated or passionate ( just simple and sweet. ) — still it would be enough to bring a shiver down the spine of even the most stoic of people. with the kiss completely melting away all previous thoughts that occupied the user's mind. — preferring to savors the sensation of their kiss, ( even if only briefly. ) regardless, their lips parted ways, heartbeat still beating rapidly against his ribcage. ❛ Hopefully, ❜ he utterly calmly, the word lingering in the air as tippy toes high up and extended his arms to wrap themselves around his neck ( pulling him closer. )

❛ That was worth the wait. ❜

( @banchousen // mutuals don't follow my friend, thank you ! )

balances an orange on his head...... (　・ω・)

❛ ...? ❜

"am i that bad of a teammate in uno, minato-ssi?"

❛ Yes. ❜ CRUEL BLUNTNESS slip past rosy lips, never fearing the repercussions of his actions nor response. even in moment that would've been most appropriate — ( he's never been one to sugarcoat his words. ) perhaps, if it had been a child. he would've chosen some words of comfort && support . but as it currently stands... ( ji-woon was far from a child. )

&& with their opponent ( Owen ) now down to one card in their hand, with the forth opponent of theirs ( Cain ) attempted to the best of their ability to allow some assistance to assure a practical ' win ' between the two...

( they were bound to lose. )

❛ Bad is an insult to those who are having bad luck, you are awful in this game. ❜

" what i have with you, i don’t want with anyone else. "

UPON HIS WORDS, eyes of gentle hues set themselves 'pon Akira's, ( they do not dare to dart away, nor is what he said dismissed. ) instead, an airy, light laugher pushes through lips. the false god he had thought to be his enemy ( a threat to society itself as best ) had never looked less of one before this moment. — had he finally found somebody in which their presence had been worthy enough to start cracking down the wall he had built over the course of years? a wall that. had been built for not only others but for his self? ( surely, Minato had to notice it too. after all, the two are one && the same. ) both building their own walls to protect themselves from the cruel world — Minato had never been one to fear DEATH, not in a sense of his own well being. ( to be precise, ) he had always feared losing others but never himself. everybody had a reason to keep going. ( but unfortunately, Minato had always thought otherwise when the subject fall 'pon his future. ) 

life may have had no plan for him, but death surely did — && even in this twist of fate. this whole exchange the two had was only be a temporary stay ( nothing more && nothing less. ) yet, even in the short period of time that he is given. he cannot deny that he had begun to grow a ' fondness ' for the other — ( && such a fondness had been mutual. ) perhaps it was a result of the arcana playing its part, with both feeling something akin to familiarity. perhaps, it was the two's understanding of one another's loneliness settling in that they found themselves embracing in each other's arms for what they had longed for ( comfort && security. ) It's an exchange that the two arguable wondered if what they had felt was considered normal to have with the person that you viewed as your enemy….

( no, of course, it wasn't. )

even so, it'll be foolish for him to view what they had together as something he'd have with anyone else — the closest he could possily think of doing such a thing, would ( unsurprising ) be with that of S.E.E.S. as they've been they only people that he had viewed as family, however, that was what made the exchange confusing. Akira was neither a friend nor ally, ( he was an enemy. ) — && even though, the two were aware of it, it made it nearly impossible to not see a part of himself through Akira. the both of them were struggling with their own demons, however, Minato was simply fortunate enough to find a group that supported him through times in which he felt alone...

Akira did not have such luxury. 

needless to say, it is not shocking that Akira would say such words to him. anybody would've said it, had they've been through a similar situation, && to feel as though they had finally find somebody ( enemies or not. ) — to stay by their side, through even the not so calming && relaxing moments. his laugher lingers far longer than anything he has done before; it's unlike the quiescent to laugh in the face of what would be his opponent ! ( it had been considered cruel, ) but with it towards Akira. someone he knew, would not be bothered by such an action. — && as such, he had no need to concern himself with it. ❛ Hehe, really? ❜ a voice that sounded almost sarcastic, mocking the tone of his words. as though they are meant to be dismissed so easily && without a care.

that had been until he approached him, ( no hesitate, no fear, no worries ) with arms wrapped themselves around Akira's waist, pulling him close against his form. ( ❝ i'm always here for you... ❞ ) 

❛ I guess, you could say, I feel the same way. ❜

smug & annoying as ever, surely things like this is the reason why his ex-companions wanted him dead: "it’s cute that you tried to protect me and all, but you’re like a foot shorter than me, you know?" - - sorry minato (akira still loves you though don't tell him i said that)

❛ Heh, you should be careful with who you are talking too. ❜

COLD REMARKS ARE FORM through warm lips; a rarity of sarcastic draws beneath his breath, an instinctual reaction of the defensive is only a desire to prove himself still worthy as a threat — as small in stature he may be in comparison to that of the self-proclaimed God himself. ( it all make up for his capability to always be the first to strike back when the enemy least expected. ) however he doesn’t react on it simply comments on it. he's dealt with far greater contempt from others than the one present before him. while he's take Akira as worthy for remark, ( it is not enough to gainer a greater reaction out of him. )

so he simply meets his gaze && shrug his shoulder.

❛ I'm not the one wearing a clown suit in front of our enemies after all. ❜

bell this is random af but Could this be minato and hakuno . if hakuno asked hard enough mayhaps AGSKGRKGHSKGHS

im going to be real frank with you, lynn. after editing this just to truly get a better picture of it, she would really need to give some good ass convincing to get him to do something like this

“ ah, minato ! “ outstretched arm waves proudly with warmest greetings, ever so fortunate in being able to catch him on the journey back to the dormitories before cherished headphones were popped over ears, obfuscating all background noise and corridor chatter. “ wait just a moment ! i have something for you ! “ elongated steps make their way closer to the familiar position of his side, tugging gently upon the zip of his own satchel to unveil not one, not two, but three pristinely – wrapped packages bound together with luminescent ribbons in order to hold their loose forms in sturdy shape.

“ i might have heard that you have not had the chance to eat as well as our senpai would like during your excursions and late – night activities, and i took this as an opportunity to also try some new recipes to put forward as suggestions to the café’s menu in order to change things up a bit ! “

the culinary treasures that awaited inside ranged from a bento box adorned with carrot stars and daikon bunnies, accompanied by a curry crafted with equal amounts of spicy – sweet. there too was some chocolate truffles with a refreshing mint aroma and two ice – cold bottles of strawberry lemonade.

there was some leftover materials from the time they had been sewing all sorts of things, resourcefulness being a quality to be most appreciated on this occasion. why stop at a scarf when an entire winter set could be crafted to protect against the coming onslaught of falling snow ? and last, but by no means least, the pièce de résistance. technological skills were aptly summoned, using every spare minute available to download and burn several days worth of songs onto a single cd  — ranging from those little melodies that held such reverence in the other’s heart, becoming such a quintessential part of his life,  songs introduced by minato that always bestowed poignant reminders of his presence and wonderful symphonies that the two of them took such pleasure revelling in upon a single note.

“ one care package for our honourary helper ! our little club really wouldn’t be the same without your valuable input, dear leader. the smiles that you have been able to bring to everyone around school have made such a difference. now, all that’s left to do is to see your own smile a little bit more ! only then, will our club have reached its full potential. its fate rests solely in your hands ! “ ( one super long ask at your service ! ) ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ

ONLY A VOICE OF FAMILIARLY is enough to halt his movement, head whipping around to spot that of his friend classmate, Mochizuki Ryoji. with his arm extended high up at blue sky followed with an somewhat rather upbeat movement, a contrast to that of his own motion — undoubtedly, a sight that had gainer the attention of many ( annoyingly ) curious onlooking's. although, it'll be rather hypocritical of himself to say, as he too, would've done the same had this situation been done by another.

( ...still, he couldn't hide back his own amusement from such a sight alone ! )

&& although Ryoji has never shy away from finding any means to stick relatively close to that of the fool  —  it is rather what would come after, that bought an unexpected wave of surprise !

❛ . . . !! ❜

a rare change for the one's aloof appearance that belonged to Arisato Minato was now distorted into the purest of shock ! brows slightly furrowed, with cerulean hues widening at the mere sight before him — ( ❝ You didn't have too—... ❞ ) && indeed, such kindness was never needed nor was it ever a requirement. he is only doing what he had been told to do, ( nothing more && nothing less... )

&& yet, while rosy lips parted to speak out of such statement ( no words actually manage to escape. ) only stopping once realizing who he was up against... ( call it a lucky guess, if you must ) but even Minato was not idiotic enough to think Ryoji would take ' no ' for an answer so easily.

( && frankly, it'll be too much trouble to try. )

❛ ...Right. ❜ a delayed response finally comes after quite some time of figuring of what to say, certainly the response was worth more than that of his monotone voice  —  still, even if his tone alone seemed lackluster ( uncaring, perhaps ) there was still a clear sign of appreciation ( simply in much more different && unexpected way..! ) one in which he normally avoided with many, aside from a select few... ( fortunately enough, Ryoji was one of those few, he allowed. )

❛ Let's... Let's share this together. ❜

@enshijou !

tries to steal an egg roll from him- >:3c

EXPRESSION IS blank, the everlasting stare of cerulean eyes is suddenly meet with doe eyes of caramel hue staring back at him. ( innocently ) despite her act of thievery moment prior — ( ❝ You could've asked. ❞ ) a simple thought, one that is not spoken out. a rarity from arisato minato, a boy who's always been shown to be rather straightforward with his thoughts — was for once in his life, speechless on what to say.

truth be told, the characteristic delay in his action alone is rather normal in terms of how he often behavior outside of combat — && yet, in a situation that he rarely found himself being apart of... would it be considered appropriate to take revenge on his behalf?

( perhaps, but... )

❛ Kishinami, can I have your strawberry? ❜ but before any words could leave her lips though, he's quick ( if not, quicker ) to steal her strawberry with his chopstick && plopping it right his mouth.

❛ ..Thanks. ❜

@nulltune !

" do you want to share this? " the offer in question: a helping of bite-sized cookies, renowned for their charming mushroom shape ( & strawberry flavored, a perfect match for their cute pink packaging ).

KINDNESS IS NOTHING MORE than a sweetness. a sweetness undoubtedly belong to the maiden's heart — a gesture that while most would've done, ( was this appreciated nonetheless ! ) a simple nod of an answer to one's inquiry, ❛ I would be an idiot, If I said no. ❜ — && as quick as the words were spoken, Minato snatches away the bag filled with goods out of her small hands ! a playful tone ( a rarity of sorts ) is expressed out for only her eyes to see.

❛ Thanks for the free food. ❜

watching you write minato and ryoji just makes me like them more andmore despite i know barely anything about them

PAIN. A LOT OF PAIN IN THE END OF THE DAY BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

" what if i hurt you? "

promoted asked ! / ( &. 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. )

WHAT SORT OF WHIMSICAL, farfetched fantasy led him to think this? what demons had corrupt the minds of the Devil's serpent that spent countless years painting his throne the shade of red that he was deeply fond of? — only those that are capable enough to destroy the core strength he had left within ( && with that, leaving him wondering. )

( ❝ You won't ❞ ) were nothing more than words trapped within his throat ( unable to be spoken out ) though his expression remains flat, ( a blessing at time like these ) it's is an undoubtedly a troublesome affair the two found themselves in — what many would chuckle off as ( ' silly thoughts, ' ) Minato would think otherwise of the matter. && within the silence they created ( it's filled with desolation ) an acquaintance Minato was far too familiar with.

relationships were tricky — it is unlike the televises show that it presented itself as ( && tending to unrealistic standards. ) he wonders if his parents too, had it dealt with their own imperfect in terms of relationship. ❛ ...You could. ❜ he does not doubt the possibility of that. ❛ But... ❜ a sudden pause, ( a relax in muscles && straighten in posture. )  — ❛ I won't give up on our relationship easily. ❜ ( ❝ And you shouldn't too. ❞ ) ❛ —...Will you?. ❜

@thieviant .

＊- pokes her brother's cheek.

BRIEF FLICKER OF THE EYES ( a simple gaze over, hint of curiosity blooming 'pon icy eyes. ) a gesture of innocence affection akin to child seeking attention were met — ( his beloved sister ) despair the two being an only child, it never stopped the two from viewing one another as what they were in the end ( siblings. ) ❛ ...What ? ❜ spoken in a tone of similarly, ( a sense of ease && solace ) rather than annoyance — expression unreadable, a sharp contrast to Minako's own bubbly expression.

IN TRUTH, he wouldn't blame anyone for not believing that either of the two were the same person. however, it is moment such as these, when Minako's lips tug down && brows furrowed ( a perfect replica of his own expression ) ❛ Why is your face always stuck like this ? ❜ a second, then two... then three. that words sinking in, processing it ( slowly. ) typically he comments like these were tolerable ( it is far from new ) — but Minako has hit a soft spot, && judging from his expression ( Minako knows it ! )

❛ Like yours are any better— ❜

☾。@orphila

soma cruz himself in the music center strumming a guitar. he is absolutely playing bring me to life by evanescence. do you find him attractive, minato? does his angsty choice in music appeal to you?

❛ Not my type of music. ❜ hardly gave him a chance to finish the song?! — at least, he's saving himself from further hearing it...

So what if we kissed in the music store while sharing headphones, hahaha, just kidding... unless? (modern owen for minato since they are music buddies)

❛ ...Huh? What was that? ❜ oops ! it appeared he couldn't hear him with how loud the volume was ! ( or... perhaps, he did hear him && is ignoring it? )

yawn, signaling the start of his plod around the kitchen next to the roar of coffee maker. middle of the morning but don't mind him, half-awake as he is in slink up behind minato. hand raises, making its way toward the cabinet before them. as for the other? just as busied in its search & settle at the smaller one's waist.

THE QUIET HAND PLACED ‘pon his waist catches him by surprise ! a morning greeting filled with that of affection — soft lips part an awe, ( ❝ Oh... ❞ ) tiresome eyes flickering briefly, with head slightly cocking to the side. curious glance peers up at the taller male through long lashes — he could feel the warmth of his skin against his as he inhaled slowly, with all previously thoughts now vanished in favor of fixated on the trickster's appearance.

minato ponders for what seems like hours, gaze never shifting elsewhere. almost seemingly amazed at first glance, && perhaps, there's some truth to such statement, but alas... it is far from such a case. as even with words not being spoken out, it'll never stop the messiah from allowing his own mind to speak the truth itself.

( ❝ this angle make him look bad... ❞ ) && yet... there's an almost certain charm to it that he can only manage ( or perhaps, his heart has been far too smitten to care of such matters... ) — but as quick as such thought came forth, it is immediately interrupted by the suddenly bubbling from the kettle before him — a pause, cerulean eyes shifted away, quick to regain his composure ( on the surface, at least, ) his slender fingers move to pitch the base of the other’s knuckles tightly ( tugging at it ! ) suddenly && without any bit of remorse from such an action alone.

❛ It's too early for this… ❜

⸺ cups his face & presses a soft kiss to his forehead.

SUDDEN ACT OF BUTTERFLY KISS leaves a flutter in his heart, the crimson warmth settling 'pon that of his snowy cheeks && something in his gaze softens with a concoction of affection && love — while words are never spoken among one another in time such as these, it is the simple exchange that find itself speaking far louder than any words that is ever needed.

as soon as he pulls away, the corner of Minato's lip finally twitch. ❛ You're in a good mood. ❜
