You had just finished plating the last of the pancakes and fried the rest of the bacon before he had come wandering in. 
  The drag of his feet was what gave it away, so you already found yourself smiling softly at him- before he was within your view. But sure enough, there he was. Dressed in a pair of pajamas that hung very loosely on his lean frame. And bed-head sticking up and out and down and around and all sorts of different directions. And of course- there was that passive expression on his face. The tired, half-lidded eyes, complete with the dark rings that symbolize another tireless night. The mouth almost settled into a frown. And the hands, previously hanging limply at his side.
  Now reaching out, hoping to grab at you.
  “You’re up so early, Rei.” You whisper to him quietly as he shuffles a little closer. You catch his dark blue eyes for a second behind his messy bangs, and he just offers up a half-groan, half-grunt in acknowledgment. You smile at him again, offering up something a little bit sweet for the exhausted man in front of you before turning your attention to your last task before waking the other two in the apartment up to eat. “I’m almost done with breakfast. Can you go ahead and sit down at the table for me?”
  He lets out another groan, and this time it’s accompanied by a mumble too low for you to really make out. Luckily, he stops moving further in the kitchen and opts to linger by one of the countertops you’re not currently using. Still a little close. But not quite in the way. Just yet, at least.
  With a sigh, you shake your head playfully at him and get back to work. He’s always been a bit clingy in the morning. Ever since he and Kazuki had convinced you to move in. So much so that the early morning visits when it’s your turn to cook breakfast for everyone are starting to get less and less surprising. Even though you know he never does this to Kazuki.
  However as your hands start to move again, you find yourself pulled back into the task at hand. At least for a little while. Currently, you’re cutting up strawberries. Pulling at the leaves. Separating the berry from its stem. Letting your small knife pass through the even smaller pieces of fruit as you chop them up into thin little slices. Easy for a little girl like Miri to snack on and enjoy without making too much of a mess. Plus, you know Kazuki is particularly fond of this brand of strawberries that you picked up the last time you went shopping. You know he would definitely enjoy some cut into some bigger pieces. He might even appreciate it if you sprinkled a few of the strawberries on his pancakes. Maybe you could even make them in a nice pattern too. Or even a cute little strawberry face on Miri’s two pancakes. Hmmm…
  While you’re lost in thought, absently cutting away at the strawberries and wondering if you should stick to the simple bowls of fruits or do something special, something wraps around your waist from behind and squeezes��tight. You can’t hold in the sudden gasp that comes pouring from your lips in surprise. The feeling of arms circling your body isn’t too unfamiliar, but you were just so focused on breakfast that you nearly forgot about Rei standing nearby, watching you as you worked. So for a second, you nearly jumped out of your skin as your instincts told you exactly what to do. Stay very still. Tighten your grip on the weapon in your hands. Assess the situation.
  But as your mind began to catch up with everything that was happening around you, you felt the brush of dark, messy hair against your neck, causing you to shiver for a second. And soon after that, followed an increase of pressure- the feeling of someone letting more and more and more of their weight fall onto you. It’s then that you do finally realize that it was Rei- clingy, sleepy Rei- holding onto you from behind and crowding into you- like you’re the most comfortable thing in the world. 
  “Rei…” You murmur, almost afraid to raise your voice any louder in favor of keeping the quiet atmosphere that had fallen between the two of you once more now that your heart has settled. You put down the knife and abandon a half-cut strawberry in favor of turning your head and trying your best to look at him from over your shoulder. Still, he acknowledges the call of his name by letting out another low groan before stepping a little closer to your backside and squeezing you a little tighter. You wonder if he’s able to smell exactly what you’ve been cooking all morning. You wonder if that’s what caused him to stumble in the kitchen like a lost, lonely puppy today. “Give me a little more of a warning next time! You scared me…”
  Rei lets out another quiet groan. But this time, when the mumble follows, you’re able to hear it loud and clear as he speaks the word into your skin.
  “...sorry…” He apologizes- head turnt and lips brushing against your neck as he speaks. It causes you to let out another shiver, but judging by the way you feel him almost smile into your skin, you have a feeling that must have been what he wanted all along. Because in that moment, the hands around your waist are trailing downwards. Slowly, slowly, slowly. But with open palms and fingers stretched wide as the hands around your waist become the hands around your hips, to even the hands dipping past the fabric of your short, pajamas shorts. Touching and feeling and exploring the bare skin that was left exposed and vulnerable.
  Your breath hitches in the back of your throat as his touches get a bit bolder. A bit more intense. But you don’t him to take his hands off of you. And you make no move to pull his hands off of you either. No, instead you’re watching. Instead, you’re waiting. Looking at the way his hands travel the expanse of your body. As if his goal was to memorize the shape and the feel of your curves. Running his hands up and running his hands up and down and up and down as he cherishes every chance he gets to get a feel of you. The real you. All of you. Now that parts of you are covered by a nice pair of silky sleeping shorts. Not the parts of you that are covered by one of the boy’s ratty old t-shirts. The real you.
  The very parts of you that you’re willing to share with him. The very parts of you that you want to share with him.
    So when Rei peeks his head over the side of your shoulder and locks eyes with you, you just let yourself give a little nod to his unasked question. It’s all the confirmation he needs to let his hand start reaching down once more. Only this time, they’re not going to rest over the top of your pajamas. This time, it’s one hand reaching for the waistline and pulling it down- your panties included. Dragging them down as far as he can without having to change too much of his position. Letting you experience the drag of fabric against your skin and the slight coolness of your nice and damp center being exposed in the kitchen.
  But you aren’t left with a whole lot of time to think about how indecent you are. You aren’t left with a whole lot of time to think about how you should move to the bedroom or at least hold out until you know the two of you will have some more privacy. Because by then, Rei has already stepped impossibly closer to you. 
  And had just pressed his sizeable erection right against your ass.
  The thin pair of pajamas he’s wearing leaves little to the imagination- even on touch alone. You feel yourself letting out another gasp at just how hard and thick and defined his cock feels just rubbing up against your skin from behind- even with a layer of clothes still separating you from it. From behind you, you swear you could hear Rei let out a sound- a quiet chuckle. But all too soon, both his hands are at your hips again. Gripping it, instead of wrapping around. Letting two coarse palms dig blunt nails into your skin as he pulls your ass into his cock and grinds. 
  Running his hardness up and down and up and down and up and down the expanse of your ass. You try to follow his movements. You try to keep up- try to grind back into him. Roll your hips in a way you know he likes. Throw it back ever so slightly- just to give him a surprise. But in the end, you just can’t keep up with his speed. You just can’t keep up with his eagerness. With his desire to have his way with you- even if it’s not through the usual means, he likes to seek pleasure from you.
  Still, you find yourself smiling again. At least ever so slightly. Now, the kitchen is no longer filled with the sounds of bacon cooking and feet shuffling. Now it’s filled with the sounds of Rei’s harsh breaths in and out as he gets himself off using your body and friction between the two of you. Now it’s filled with your gasps of surprise and pleasure whenever Rei manages to pull off a move that somehow pleases the two of you at the same time. But most of all?
  It’s filled with a man. Starved down to his bones- looking for something to feast on. Looking for something to satisfy him. Looking for you to satisfy him. And luckily for him.
  You know just exactly what he needs in this moment.
  And you’re more than happy to give it to him too.

Snow muffles everything. It's early morning, Miri still sleeps soundly in her room, neatly tugged in a thick blanket. Her mouth probably opened wide, a trickle of saliva going down her cheek. Even with a window ajar in the living room, no sound comes from the outside. Everything's quiet except for hissing of a pan in the kitchen.
Rei tries to flip a French toast with one hand, the other still hangs lifeless at his right side. He curses under his nose when another attempt ends with a splash messing up his hoodie and the countertop around him. Kazuki looks at him, his eyes wide and innocent, from his breakfast work.
"Need help?" But no response follows. He puts down the knife he's using. "Come on, it won't harm your pride if you say it. Here, let me."
He walks over, stops close to Rei, just behind him, and gives his assist with his right hand and a fork he found on the side. He counts to three and then they flip the toast together. The mixture bubbles a bit, so Kazuki's hand immediately lands on the cork to lower the heat.
"There you go." His words come out gentle, in a similar tone in which he soothes Miri when she's got a nightmare. They sound just next to Rei's right ear as he focuses his gaze on the pan. He continues while doing that: "Nothing scary, right? It's not like it's impossible to do it with one hand, but some toasts are stubborn. You'll get it."
He stays close for a couple more seconds, but reflects himself and walks away, leaving Rei starring blankly at the spot where just a moment ago he saw a red sleeve substituting the arm he had sacrificed. His heart feels softer, like if it was dipped in a sweet coating, but beats so terribly fast he has to take in a sharper breath.
"Thanks," he murmurs as his features melt in the fond feeling that appeared in his chest, not for the first time.
He thinks back to the conversation with his father, when he brought up all the little things that made him fall in love with his newfound family. He also remembers holding Kazuki up in the kitchen back then, their blood mixing as they supported each other.
I knew my partner would come to save me. And he did.
Yes, if something was on, he knew his partner will indeed come to save him. Even if it's just flipping a toast.

Re-reading Yu-Gi-Oh (part 1)
So... I bitch a lot about Yu-Gi-Oh. When I don’t complain about it online and accuse it of scamming kid me, I ridicule the story and the many holes in the game rules.
But I actually used to love this manga with a burning passion. I bought it because I was fixated with the cards, but instead I got traumatized. In an awesome way.
So I decided to re-read the manga about the possibly best known TCG game in the world and see how it started, how it evolved, and if the story still holds up.
So, I’m reading chapter 1, and we have to talk about the art.
The art style at the beginning was chunky and sometimes downright awkward. But it was still very enjoyable. The characters were very expressive and the tone of the style could swing quickly from wacky and rubberhose like to eerie and brooding depending on the situation. It makes you forgive odd-looking legs and hands that becomes massive. It is clear that it is someone’s first project.
Tumblr media
So, this is Yugi. Possibly the cutest and meekest punk kid who ever lived. Yugi is not an outdoor person, so he spends most of his recesses inside the classroom. He brings a ton of games to school, hoping that someone might wanna play with him, but all of his classmates prefer to go outside and do stuff like basketball. And being a short teenager who practically looks like a little boy means he is not a desirable team mate in any ball game.
This is totally just a theory, but I think Yugi’s signature punk hairstyle is his way of trying to look a bit more edgy to try do something about his cute appearance.
... Yeah, it’s not working. He still looks like a fricking Gummibear.
Tumblr media
As Yugi is minding his own business, we meet two familiar faces.
... their names are actually Jounouchi and and Honda, but most people know them by their American names, so I will just refer to them as Joey and Tristan. 
It’s so odd to see their old designs. Especially Joey since his hair is not as big and square like as it is today. And what the fuck is up with Tristan’s face?!
Anyways, while Yugi decides to play with the most valuable game in his collection, Joey and Tristan decides to mess with him. They make an interesting bully duo where Tristan is more loud and is clearly having more fun bothering Yugi who is too short to put up a fight while Joey seems more stoic and is almost annoyed by Yugi for being a pushover. He even tells Yugi to be a man about it and at least try and take the game back from him by force. So while Tristian just enjoys picking on Yugi for the heck of it, Joey seems to sincerely dislike Yugi.
Tumblr media
Luckily, Yugi doesn’t have trouble with bullies as such since he is friends with Tea who is so tough that she actually intimidate Joey and Tristan with sheer attitude. That’s actually impressive.
... A shame she is most of the time just the damsel in distress.
Tea is the only person in class who hangs out with Yugi since they have been friends since kindergarten. And she doesn’t mind staying inside at all since a ton of the guys are jerks who only wanna play basketball with the girls since it gives them an opportunity to look up their skirts.
Yeah, there is a lot of that in this manga. Most of the males in this series are kinda horny. the humor often relies on it, which downright creepy at times.
Tumblr media
Even Yugi finds basketball more appealing now that he knows about the skirt-looking.
Lewd panty-shot aside, I think it is a nice detail that Yugi is as pathetic as the rest of the dudes in school, he probably just doesn’t have the courage to try get a look. It makes him less of a pure hero.
Altight, let’s stop talking about Yugi being a closet creep:/
Tumblr media
Yugi shows Tea what his greatest treasure is: A LITTERAL treasure.
Yep, this is the famous Millennium Puzzle, practically the mascot of the series. It’s an ancient puzzle found in an pyramid that Yugi got from his grandfather who runs a game store. The puzzle is extremely valuable, both because it is from ancient Egypt and it is made of gold.
... And Yugi brings it to school where Tristan and Joey pushes him around...
Yugi has been struggling with the puzzle for eight years despite being a game nerd. Even though it is a blow to his not that big ego, he keeps trying to solve it since the box says that if he will be granted a wish if he manage to solve the puzzle.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Joey and Tristan makes the fatal mistake of talking about picking on Yugi while Ushio is close enough to hear it. He is the school’s hall monitor and rumor has it that he is downright psychotic and is feared by most of the students. Heck, some of the teachers are uncomfortable being near him.
And this guy has decided to become Yugi’s bodyguard, something poor Yugi doesn’t take serious when Ushio tells him that.
Tumblr media
Joey and Tristan are unaware how screwed they are as they keep having their fun bothering Yugi without our hero knowing it. Joey managed to steal a piece from the puzzle box before Tea interrupted, and Joey decides to throw the piece in the school’s swimming pool so that the puzzle becomes worthless as it can no longer be solved. I gotta say, that is pretty twisted and surprisingly sneaky of a teen bully. It’s downright creepy.
Speaking of creepy...
Tumblr media
This is Yugi’s grandfather Sugoroku. He runs the game shop that Yugi lives in and is a living encyclopedia when it comes to games of all sorts.
And he can’t just tell Tea that she has grown. He HAS to mention her breasts as well. Da fuck is up with all the sex talk and panty shots in this series?! Does Kazuki Takahashi(the author) have some sort of issues?!
Yugi’s grandfather notices that Yugi is STILL trying to solve the ancient puzzle and warns Yugi that the puzzle is supposedly cursed. That the archeologist and his team died mysteriously shortly after finding the puzzle and the last one to kick the bucket said something about a “shadow game” with his dying breath.
That however makes Yugi even more determent to solve the puzzle. If it really is magical then chances are that he will be granted a wish by completing the puzzle.
Personally, I would call the nearest museum and sell the dang thing before it could kill me with it’s insane cursed magic.
Speaking of insane, Yugi realizes that he should have taken Ushio serious when he said he would be his bodyguard.
Tumblr media
Yep, the SOB has dragged Joey and Tristan behind the school building and kicked their asses through and through. Tristan is in so much pain that he is barely conscious and Joey is so pummeled that all he can do is watch as Yugi shows how surprisingly brave he is as he demands that Ushio leaves them alone, even refer to them as his friends and that they were just trying to make him a man.
Yeah, picking on someone because they are too timid and demanding that they fight you despite knowing that they hat violence is the right way to make someone a man. Hip hooray for toxic masculinity!
Yugi defending Joey and Tristan results in him getting a beating as well.
Tumblr media
One of the interesting things about early Yu-Gi-Oh is the raw and ugly violence. We talking dirty violence where people get kneed in the chest and kicked while they lie down. Not just off-screen, we witness our heroes be pummeled, making the series a bit more gritty and frightening. And this series is not for those with a weak stomach.
Joey is stunned, partly because Yugi defends him, but way more of the short spiky-haired kid’s courage. But Yugi is anything but afraid. After all, he refused to fight Joey, but he still tried to get the puzzle back(not successfully, but he made an effort instead of just squirming).
After Ushio finished kicking poor Yugi’s ass, he tells him to bring him money as “payment” for his “bodyguard service.” And we talking 200000 yen, that’s a lot of dough.
Tumblr media
Ushio even pulls a god damn knife(!), just to show how fucking crazy he is!
Yugi goes home to see if he has money enough to pay Ushio, but he only has 1656 yen. In frustration, Yugi decides to solve his unsolvable puzzle, just to think of something else than the brute with a knife who is waiting for him at school.
Tumblr media
But what do you know? Yugi finally get the hang of it. He sees that some of the pieces just needs to be rotated differently and he finish it in a couple of minutes.
... Or he WOULD have. He finally sees that one of the pieces are missing, breaking his heart and making his awful day even worse.
Tumblr media
But Grandpa has the last piece. He tells Yugi that one of his friends from school had found it and asked him to give it to Yugi. And that he was soaked despite it not raining.
As Yugi is happy about being able to finish the puzzle and returns to his room, his grandpa thinks about that the boy was Joey and that he asked him not to tell Yugi it was him that came with the puzzle piece. Joey also told him about Ushio blackmailing Yugi, so Grandpa secretly puts money in Yugi’s schoolbag so he won’t get in trouble.
And this is where it get’s freaky.
Tumblr media
Yep, here it is. the iconic moment Yugi gets blessed by the puzzle so that he can turn into the split personality we refer to as Yami which is Japanese for “Dark”.
Yugi then calls Ushio and tells him to meet him outside school at midnight.
Tumblr media
Ushio is surprised as he sees that Yugi is wearing some sort of costume and that he looks way more cocky than before.
Yugi tells Ushio that he has the money he demands, but he has twice the amount. Fricking 400000 yen!
But Yugi only “owes” 200000 to Ushio, so he suggest that they play about them in a dark and twisted game.
Tumblr media
Yugi and Ushio take turns stabbing the stack of money placed on their hand. They have to stab hard enough to take more than one single bill. The winner is the guy with most yen bills.
As they play, Ushio seems to be winning... but when it is his turn, he can feel that his hand is way too eager to stab.
Tumblr media
This is not just a weird-ass game. This is a “shadow game”, a game that shows your true nature. Ushio’s greed is now collected in his hand, and he so desperately want to win the game that he can’t control it. He realizes that if he stabs, he won’t be able to control his strength and he will penetrate his own hand. Ushio has to either A) give up and keep his hand or B) win the game with one hand less.
Ushio picks C.
Tumblr media
Ushio tries to kill Yugi, but that was a mistake. The puzzle has made him super human and he leaps from the ground, evading the knife.
And cheating in a shadow game is a big no-go as the host of the game has authority to punish you.
Tumblr media
Yami Yugi curses Ushio with “Illusion of Greed”, meaning he will be doomed to live in an imaginary world where he sees nothing but money everywhere.
Tumblr media
Next morning, he is still outside the schoolyard like a drooling idiot who yells about all of his imaginary money.
Yugi has no memory of what happened but is glad he no longer has to be worried of Ushio who is a harmless nutcase. Not only that, he has finally finished his puzzle... and Joey offers him his friendship.
And that was the start of the horror manga turned card game commercial. It has a lot of charm, is very eerie and I think I prefer Yami Yugi’s first look that is more child like. making him look downright creepy.
This retrospective will continue ASAP.
Till then, I’m Waezi2, and thanks for wasting time with me.

Let’s Sneak In! 24 Hours of Edel Rose (a King of Prism short story)
Translator’s notes: This is from 2D☆STAR vol. 4 and it’s a first movie era story from June 2016, but I didn’t get to read it until much later when it was re-printed in the Ready Sparking Fanbook. But man I wish I had read it when it was first printed. It contains so much information which I didn’t know until at least Prism Rush, and which casual fans probably never knew at all until SSS. It just goes to show you, even though certain details took a long time to reach the main series, the characters have basically always been the same ever since the very beginning. For example, Kakeru’s room (shown in the bonus theatrical video) and his pajamas as they appear in SSS are exactly how they were described in this story which was printed YEARS before. 
Since I only have the re-print of this and not the original magazine, I am unaware if there was ever any illustration for this. If you have it, please share! 
Synopsis: Shin cannot suppress his gay thoughts when watching the other SePTENTRION members sleeping. 
Tumblr media
The time was 2:00 am. Shin stood before the Edel Rose dormitory. 
Shin: Shhh.... Good evening everyone. It’s Edel Rose’s Shin Ichijo, 3rd year student at Kakyoin Academy Junior High Division. Tonight I’ll be sneaking you into the Edel Rose dormitory for a special report. Everyone, please make sure to keep quiet so that nobody wakes up.... 
Crossing the entrance way, Shin entered the building. 
Shin: Woooah! It’s... a ghost!! ...Oh, it’s just Norizuki-san... S... Shhh be quiet.... 
Shin had become startled by the large face which had appeared in the darkness. It was the portrait which hung on the second floor at the top of the stairs in the lobby.
Shin: Ah... that surprised me.. Um... Well, this here is the founder of the Edel Rose prism star training school, Kou Norizuki! He was also the chairman of the board at the Edel Rose foundation, which opened my school Kakyoin Academy, the Lu Seriana Academy which Bell Rose’s Bell Renjoji goes to, and many other prism show schools all over the country. He was also the president of the Prism Show Association! But, I’m sad to say, he passed away last year...
But! He was a great person responsible for many Prism Kings and Queens! I heard he was the one who scouted Hiro Hayami as well! He’s even the father of Jin Norizuki, who is the big cheese over at Schwarz Rose! What an amazing person he was. 
Shin climbed to the second floor. 
Shin: Now, shall we sneak into the rooms of some of our members? I’ll show an exclusive peek of their sleeping faces to all you viewers at home! Let’s start with Yukinojo-san’s room...
As Shin opened the door a Japanese-style rope curtain hung down. 
Shin: Excuse me for entering... Yukinojo-san is a 1st year student in senior high school, one year above me. In the kabuki world he’s known as “the princess of the kabuki world” or “the female prince”. Right now he’s a rising star with a lot of promise for his future. 
Shin very gingerly approached Yukionojo’s bed and peered down at Yukinojo’s sleeping face.
Shin: Oh good... He’s fast asleep.... 
Shin relaxed a bit and found himself free to look around the room. 
Shin: Wow... Everyone, look at this. His room is all decorated in Japanese-style. Ah, there’s such a big vanity mirror. There are a lot of makeup products and hairpins here. Japanese clothing is hung on the wall... And wow.... it smells so nice in here.... What’s this smell? It’s...  camellia oil. I wonder if he uses it like cologne? 
Shin peeked into the shelf near Yukinojo’s desk. 
Shin: Ah, it’s full of CDs! ....But this is surprising! It’s filled with music by American and British hard rock bands! Wow, so this is what Yukinojo-san listens to in his private time...
Shin turned back to Yukinojo’s bed. 
Shin: Now everyone, it’s what you’ve all been waiting for. The pajama reveal!
Shin quickly pulled away Yukinojo’s sheets. 
Shin: Huah! 
Shin was taken aback by Yukinojo’s beautiful sleeping face and lily white skin. 
Shin: Wow... Yukinojo-san.... He really is pretty... Ah! I’m sorry everyone! I’ll get on with the report! Yukinojo-san sleeps in a yukata. His face while sleeping... is very beautiful. His yukata is sliding off... I should fix it for him... 
Shin could not take his eyes off the beautiful nape of Yukinojo’s neck. 
Yukinojo: ... Mm.... Mmmph.....
Yukinojo was beginning to wake up. 
Shin: Uh-oh! L-Let’s move on! 
Quickly leaving Yukinojo’s room behind, Shin headed to the next room. 
Shin: The next room is Taiga-kun’s. Taiga-kun is a 3rd year student in junior high school like me. His specialty is street-style prism shows. Excuse me for entering... Woah! 
Taiga had rolled out of his bed and was sleeping on the floor. 
Taiga: Zzzz.... Zzz......
Shin: T... Taiga-kun... His right foot is still in bed but he’s sleeping on the floor.... But he’s dead asleep... Well, let’s get straight to checking his pajamas then... He’s wearing a tank top and boxer trunks. I wonder if he’s cold not sleeping in proper pajamas? 
Taiga: Take it... off..... 
Without warning Taiga threw off his tank top. And then his hands moved down to his boxers... 
Shin: Ahh! This is bad! 
Shin quickly threw a blanket over Taiga. 
Shin: Phew... That was close... But Taiga-kun’s really lucky he doesn’t catch a cold sleeping like that. I guess Taiga-kun’s not effected by cold because he’s from the north...?
A happi hung from Taiga’s open closet. 
Shin: Oh, he has a happi. Taiga-kun really likes festivals so if he’s free he goes and participates in them all over the place. He’s from Aomori so he’s always going back home when it’s festival time. He looks like a bad boy, but he’s actually a good kid at heart. Or at least that’s what Kakeru-san said. 
Shin approached a desk with many things scattered upon it. 
Shin: His room is a mess.... Hm? There are a lot of ripped out pages from magazines here... What’s all this...!? Ah, these are articles about Kazuki-san. Wow, he’s really diligent in collecting these... Is all this stuff really Kazuki merchandise... !? Gosh, Taiga-kun really loves Kazuki-san, doesn’t he....
Taiga: GRAHH! GET IT OFF!!
The blanket which Taiga had suddenly kicked off flew into the air and smacked hard into Shin’s face.
Shin: HUAGH!
Taiga: Mmrrghghm.......
Shin: Whew... Taiga-kun is such a violent sleeper.... 
Shin fixed Taiga’s blanket again before heading out of the room. 
Shin: Next we’ll be heading to Kakeru-san’s room. Excuse me for entering... Kakeru-san is a 1st year student in senior high school and the heir to Juuouin Holdings. He has a suuuuuper important job called executive director! I heard that the truth is his real name is Kazuo, but he gets mad when you call him that. So just keep it between us, OK?
This room was not quite like any of the others.
Shin: Huh!? The interior of this room is totally different... The floor is covered by a plush carpet, and the wall is plastered in such fancy wallpaper. Ah, and in this room there is only one bed... and it’s covered with a canopy? What a gorgeous room fit for a celebrity... Unfortunately it seems Kakeru-san’s pajamas are covered by his sheets....
Kakeru: Mmm... mm...
Almost as though he’d just heard Shin’s words, Kakeru chose that moment to roll over in his sleep and show off his pajamas.
Shin: Ah, this is... a silk gown!? And he’s even got a matching night cap. It looks so expensive. And what’s this... cucumber slices on his face! He’s sleeping with a skin care mask on! How clever! You know, Kakeru-san’s face is really pretty with his glasses off... So handsome...!
Kakeru cracked a smile with his eyes still shut. 
Shin: His desk has some difficult-looking business-y books on it and... huh!? What’s this!? 
Kakeru flinched. There were several magazines of female prism stars. 
Shin: Wow... Kakeru-san really likes watching prism shows huh....
Kakeru: *cough* *cough* Mmm mmgh... time to... get going... Mmmmph....
Shin: H.. He’s awake...!? ...I guess I just imagined it... Wooow! This shelf is covered with all sorts of plastic models and figures! Oh yeah, I heard that recently he went with Hiro-san to buy some plastic models.
Kakeru: ..N... ext....
Shin: Ah, yes of course! ...Huh?
Startled, Shin looked back at Kakeru. 
Kakeru: Zzz... Zzz...... 
Kakeru was breathing deeply in his sleep. Shin let out a sign of relief. 
Shin: Oh yeah! I have to get going to the next room anyway before we’re out of time! 
Shin left the room in a slight hurry. 
Kakeru: Uuu.... I forgot... to put away my magazines.... Mmmghm....
Shin: Next we’ll be sneaking into Minato-san’s room. Minato is a 1st year student in senior high school and he cooks the most delicious meals for us at the dorm. ...Well then, excuse me for entering... HUH!? WHA... WHAT IS....
Shin stopped dead in his tracks. The scenery which spread before his eyes was filled with the carcasses of beasts, torn in half, mercilessly roasted, and hanging from the ceiling. 
Shin: ...What in the world... 
Shin was gripped with indescribable fear. It was just at that moment that a large man holding a knife was creeping up behind Shin’s back. 
Shin: EEEK!! 
Minato: Ichijo, what’s the matter?
Shin: EEE!! EeeeeeeeeEEEE!!! T... Take whatever you want, just spare my life!!
Minato: Hm? Ichijo, it’s me. Minato. 
Shin: Kn-n-n-n-ife! 
Shin was pointing at the knife which was now aimed right at his throat. 
Minato: Ah, sorry, sorry. I was just preparing tomorrow’s ingredients. 
Minato smiled cheerfully as he lowered the knife. Shin pointed to the carcasses hanging from the ceiling. 
Shin: W-what is all this!?
Minato: The three great hams of the world! Jamón Serrano, Prosciutto, and Jīnhuá Huǒtuǐ! I bought them wholesale.
Shin: HAM!? Wholesale? 
Minato: This is what ham looks like before you slice it. It’s best to keep it at room temperature. 
Shin: ...Oh.....
Minato: But what are you doing up at this hour? And with a camera in your hand?
Shin: Oh yeah, that’s right. Right now I’m in the middle of showing off everyone’s rooms for a project called “Let’s Sneak In! 24 Hours of Edel Rose”. Ah! So you sleep in a sweatsuit I see! 
Minato: It’s comfortable and easy to move around in. Well then, good luck with your program!
Shin: Thank you!
Shin bowed politely as he left the room. 
Shin: So Minato really does focus on cooking 24 hours a day. Ah, let’s go to the next room.
Shin approached Leo’s room. 
Shin: Next up is Leo-kun’s room. He looks just like a really cute girl... and his personality is feminine too... But he’s actually a boy.... but we all... um.... Yeah! He’s like our idol at Edel Rose! Well, excuse me for entering.... 
Shin’s eyes widened in surprise. 
Shin: Wooow... It’s just like a girl’s room. 
The room was covered in lovely decorations and overflowing with adorable stuffed animals. 
Shin: And it smells so nice too... 
Leo: Urr... Mmm... 
As Shin watched Leo roll over in his sleep with a cuteness that any girl would envy, he felt his heart fluttering beyond his control. 
Shin: *ba-dump* ...L.. Leo-kun... He’s so... cute......
Shin could not take his eyes off Leo’s lightly colored limbs which peaked from underneath the covers. 
Shin: U..Uh ummm.... Leo-kun’s pajamas are... really cute pink negligee...
Leo’s explosive cuteness made Shin completely lose his cool. 
Leo: Ahh!
All of a sudden Leo grabbed Shin by his clothing and pulled him under the covers. 
Shin: WooAAh!
Leo was hugging Shin so tightly that he could not move. 
Leo: Squishy ♡
Leo rubbed his cheek against Shin’s face as he smiled blissfully.
Leo: So soft ♡
Shin: L-Leo-kun...!?
Leo: Zzz..... Zzzz.... 
Shin: He’s still half asleep... right?
Shin wasn’t sure what to do. He fixed his gaze on Leo’s face once more. 
Shin: Leo-kun... He’s just... so cute....
Suddenly Leo-kun’s eyes shot open. 
Leo: ...Wha!?
Shin: WHA!?
Leo: EEEEEEEEEEEK!
Shin: AahhAAH! I’m-I’m sorry!! 
Shin quickly scrambled away from Leo. Leo rubbed his eyes as he started to properly wake up. 
Leo: ...Huh? ...Shin-kun, what’s going on... this late at night...? 
Leo stared at Shin with wonder.
Shin: I.. I um... This... this is.... 
Leo smiled warmly. 
Leo: Ahh! Now I understand! Eheh. If you’re lonely why don’t we sleep together?
Shin: N... No that’s not it! I-I-I’ll be going now!!
Leo: Nooo, wait! Shin-kun, don’t go!
A very flustered Shin ran from the room. 
Shin: *panting* Oh man... I hope I didn’t give him any strange thoughts...
Shin continued on to Yu’s room. 
Shin: Next is Yu-kun’s room. Yu-kun is a 1st year student in junior high school. He writes both the lyrics and music for our songs. Alright then... Excuse me for entering...
As Shin entered the room there were instruments of all kinds everywhere. 
Shin: Wow, look at all these instruments... Drums, bass, guitar, a keyboard, a trumpet, a sax.... It’s like a live music club....
Shin’s eyes moved to the walls and ceiling.
Shin: These are all posters and pieces of merchandise of Bell Renjoji... There’s so much....
Yu was gripping tightly to a body pillow printed with Bell’s image as he slept. 
Yu: Mmm... I’ll definitely... be the one.... to make you happy...... Mmmmmph.....
A comical sweat drop dripped down from Shin’s forehead. 
Shin: ...Yu-kun’s a really big fan of Bell-san, isn’t he.... Aah, umm... Yu-kun sleeps in... Bell Rose pajamas!
Shin left the room. 
Shin: Now, it’s time for what you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to sneak into Over the Rainbow’s rooms: Kouji-san, Hiro-san, and and Kazuki-san’s! ...Whaa!? We’re out of time!? Aw shucks.... I... I’m sorry! It seems that’s all we have time for today... Sorry about that! See you next time!

PROMPT: Wide Florida Bay. Obi meets Shirayuki's dad.
“You try anything, and I stab you in the intestines,” Obi tells Tall, Pale, and Jacked, flashing the guy’s knife at him over the center console. It’s not holding a knife to his ribs, but the SUV this guy drives isn’t exactly bodily-threat friendly. “I just passed Anatomy and Phys, so I can tell you, it will fucking suck. Sepsis will be a real problem.”
“I’m aware,” he grunts, pulling off the park’s service road. “You know if you do that, I’ll lose control of the car. We’ll crash. Won’t be pretty.”
“A big guy like you, slowed down by a little stabbing?” He eyes the scar running thickly down one side of the man’s face. “I don’t believe it.”
“You telling me you’re happy risking this thing getting wrapped around a tree?” His gaze cuts to him as they shift through traffic. “Passenger side always gets it the worst. Don’t usually walk away from things like that.”
“Don’t you worry about me, big guy.” He snaps the strap across his chest. “I’m wearing my seat belt.”
Seal Team Six gives him a dubious look. “That seat belt gonna protect your legs?”
“I’ve seen the commercials for Escalades.” Obi jerks a thumb towards the dash. “Steel safety cage. We’ll be snug as bugs.”
That gets a grunt out of him. Obi settles back, hooking his hands behind his head. Damn, these seats are plush. To think he chose to go to school when rent-a-thug has so much more swag.
Big boy’s hands flex on the wheel. Obi makes a show of not paying attention; does one of those big-dick sprawls in the passenger seat, eyes shuttering enough that he’s just peeping out through his eyelashes. Behind his head, his knuckles turn white.
Mister Evasive Maneuvers jerks the wheel, starting a controlled spin out.
He only gets about a quarter turn. Four inches of well-honed steel against his neck really dampens his enthusiasm over it.
“Uh-uh,” Obi scolds, wagging a finger. “None of that, unless you want me to help you get rid of that five o’clock shadow.”
He’s a bit rusty with knives; blood ekes over the edge of the blade, jerking across the steel like it’s afraid someone will see it out of place. Obi clucks disappointed as he pulls the knife away. Too easy to forget how thin that skin over the jugular is.
“I hope you understand the situation better, Joe,” he adds, secreting the knife away.
The guy watches him, wary for once. “Yeah,” he says, too even, “I think I get it now.”
Rainbox Six isn’t much of a talker, but to be fair Obi isn’t feeling all that loquacious either.
“Not gonna ask why we were gonna take her?” The man finally grunts as the park at the marina.
“Not my problem right now.” He hangs close, trying to remind Jason Bourne here that he’s not free yet, that he’s still one bad decision away from a fatal prognosis. “After all, if someone just up and kidnapped someone from you, right under your noses, that makes you – what? The smallest dicks in the locker room?”
“Fuck you.”
“The feeling’s mutual.”
He honestly doesn’t expect a house boat.
“What the fuck is this?” he mutters, picking his way up the gangplank. “Some weird ass joke?”
“Yes.”
Obi doesn’t jump, instead swiveling his neck to get a better look at the man sitting on what loosely could be called a porch. It’s not easy; he’s deep in the shade of an awning, shadows clinging to him like a tactical suit, even though it’s a crisp November day.
He leans forward, letting the sun hit the whole of his face. “At least, in some kind of way.”
The man doesn’t look like he’s dangerous, not at first glance; he looks like he’s someone’s dad, knitted up in a snug-looking sweater and some corduroy, reading glasses perched on his nose as he skims the sports section. But there’s something about the way he moves when he folds his specs up, slipping them into their soft leather case; something about the clean, efficient movements of his hands and the good posture says military.
From the look of this outfit, ex-military.
“Don’t get too ansty now,” he says, leaning over his knees. “I told the snipers to stand down.”
He frowns. “Is that supposed to be funny?”
“I don’t know, boy,” he says with a killer’s smile. “Is it?”
The man doesn’t give him time to answer. “From what Itoya says, the Claw got a hold of Kazuki and your girl.”
Obi’s gaze darts to his side. So that’s big boy’s name. Itoya.
“Knowing them, they’ve probably been tracking Kazuki since he touched down.” The old man’s face stays calm, but something in his eyes flares as he speaks. “Probably been waiting to get him back, all this time.”
He turns to one of the men up at the top of the gangplank, every inch a commander. “Get some boots on the ground, and I want some eyes too. Not possible they didn’t hit a traffic camera in this town.” He cuts a glance to Obi, giving him a lackadaisical shrug. “Connecticut. What a cesspool.”
“Sir!” The men move out, already on phones and barking orders. Itoya doesn’t move.
“What about you, Commander?”
The man hauls himself to his feet with a groan. “There’s a place I want to check. You’ll come with me.”
“Yes, sir.”
“How about you, Fighter?” The Commander lifts his eyebrows, running an assessing gaze over Obi. “Itoya told me about you, after that first scuffle. Gonna run back and report us to the dean?”
The question’s a joke, made to sound ridiculous, but Obi knows how to read between the lines. They want to know if he’s going to bring the cops in. Hell, if he’ll bring Shenazard in, along with all his corporate money and private bodyguards.
“I can’t take my eyes off you, can I?” he growls. He’s not leaving anyone alone with Doc, not after this. Someone will take her again over his dead body.
The Commander gives him a thoughtful look. “Good. You can ride in the back.”

Happy Angst-Giving: The Finale???
Honestly everyone.... I really like how this came out... But I do realize that it’s probably missing something.... 
Still... I hope you all like what I’ve created for the possible finale of the Asahi Zombie AU.....
RIP.
Happy Halloween Happy Angst-Giving Merry Angst-Mas Happy Halloween II Happy Angst-Giving: The Finale???
They were attacking. The horde of zombies. The horde of the dead. The horde of the familiar no more.
The news of the monsters had come a few days before - and the safe haven had sent out it’s best guards and fighters to try to distract the horde in a different direction… But it hadn’t worked at all. Your safe haven lost a lot of people that day. A lot of good people. People with families.
But finally, this morning, there had been yells of panic, yells of fear. You’d been placed on guard duty, your son, Kazuki, placed in the safe haven’s completely guarded building with the other children, while Suga and Daichi had been posted outside that same building to protect the children.
You sighed to yourself as you popped a few of the zombies in the head, watching as their rotten innards exploded all over their nearest comrade, their already dead bodies falling to the floor unceremoniously. In another life, this probably would have been fun for you… Not this life though. Only a little over a year ago had you lost your husband to this disease. This terrible infection. You’d only seen him once while the infection ate at his skin, bubbling in his veins, taking away all his humanity, replacing his loving brown eyes with milky death. A life worse than death. Worse than being satan’s whipping boy. Walking around, alone or in packs, eating anything that moved or made a noise, taking their life essences to fill their own void. Just the idea of your husband, your Asahi, having to live that kind of life made your finger pull on the trigger more liberally. You were freeing these poor souls. You were taking their suffering away and granting them eternal slumber with a bullet straight through their skulls.
If you were able to free your husband from this life… You would. Without any hesitation. You would save him over and over. Asahi… You closed your eyes and turned your head towards the sky, feeling your heart reaching out for his, reaching out for some sort of sign that he was okay - that his soul was freed from this hell and searching the cosmos for yours once more.
“____! Pay attention! They’re starting to pile up over on the north end of the gates.” A man who’s name currently escaped your memory called out at you, causing you to jump and open your eyes to see the large amount of zombies actually below your post. If you didn’t focus now, they’d pile on top of each other and end up overwhelming this part of the wall. “H-Hey! What the hell is that!” The man called, grabbing his binoculars to see the change in the zombie current just a few yards away. You looked where he was seeing the disturbance, and felt your heart still in your chest.
You jumped down into the horde of zombies before you could even think about what it was you were seeing. You pulled out your knife and stabbed the ones that got too close, using the distraction as a way for you to bob and weave your way through the horde, thanking your squadron for taking them out as you made your way into the thick of the monsters. You’d almost gotten bit, but none of that was registering right now. Nothing but what you’d barely caught a glimpse of. It was almost as if your heart was pulling you towards the distraction, as if your very soul was commanding your feet to run, commanding your arms to stab and push and move any dead being out of the way enough for you to reach what you had thought you’d seen.
But not everything can go as planned. And you were falling to the floor with a zombie snapping it’s teeth towards your neck. You struggled against it’s dead weight, trying to get away from the monster, still feeling your heart, your very soul, pulling you towards what you’d seen. Maybe this was the end for you, maybe your son would grow up an orphan - you’d definitely jumped into the horde as if you were only living for yourself. How could you be so stupid? So completely impulsive that you’d submit yourself to this type of death? Being eaten alive?
The sound of struggling registered to your ears, above the sound of the dead man trying to bite at your neck, above the sound of the front gates starting to creak open as reinforcements were sent in to rescue you. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, ____?” His voice yelled at you above the growling and the groans, a knife plunging into the zombie’s temple before he tossed the body off of you and grabbed you by your hand. You felt as if you could finally breathe again, his hand holding yours so tight and pulling you towards where the gates were opening. “Why would you just jump in like that? Are you out of your mind?” He yelled at you over his shoulder, and you wanted so badly to stop him from moving, wanted to pull him to a stop so you could see him properly - truly see him after all this time.
The gates were only a few yards away, you were going to make it, you were going to be able to have your family back. The light was just on the other end of that gate border - it was blinding. It was heading straight for you.
A blood curdling scream ripped through the air, and your hands were suddenly out of Asahi’s and pushing him into the community gates. Asahi turned as he fell back on his ass, the gates of the community slowly closing just behind him as soon as he’d made it in. But the gates weren’t what he was seeing, what was pulling his entire world to shreds. You held your hand out towards where you’d pushed him, not reaching, more a plea for him to stay where he was and not come after you. You’d been bit. Your blood was seeping through your clothes, your neck having a large bite taken out of it. Another zombie took your stillness as an opportunity to bite at your bicep, pulling back with all your muscle tendons in between its teeth. “I will find you….” You mouthed to him, remembering when he’d yelled it to you the first time in the infected prison all that time ago, “Take care of Kazuki, Asahi….” You whispered, feeling your tears flowing down your cheeks just before a zombie grabbed you from behind, pulling you into a large horde. Asahi yelled, an animalistic scream as he scrambled to his feet and rushed towards the gates just as they’d closed. He slammed his hands on the metal gates, still yelling, still screaming out his anguish. All this time. All this time alone, away from you, and this is how it ended.
He didn’t know how long he’d been screaming, but the guards pulled him away from the gates, dropping him just a few yards away as they closed the secondary gates as a precaution. Your sacrifice had caused the horde to bunch up just outside the gates. Something you hadn’t thought of preventing. Your only goal had been to save Asahi. Save him while you could. Give your life in exchange for his. He kneeled on the asphalt outside the secondary gates, staring ahead of him blankly, not being able to scream any more as his voice had escaped him.
“Look what you’ve done!” A voice yelled from behind him, but Asahi didn’t even have the strength to turn and acknowledge who he knew was yelling at him. Blaming him. He knew. How could he not. He’d seen what he’d done first hand. Right in front of him. “You sick bastard!” The voice was closer now, and suddenly Asahi’s collar was being bunched and pulled, a fist connecting with his jaw causing him to fall back. But there was someone else there, pulling the first voice off of him.
“Suga! Stop!” Daichi yelled, wrapping his arms around Suga’s middle and keeping him from attacking Asahi again. He’d gotten his cheap shot. And while Daichi felt his own heart breaking, his tears streaming down his face at the realization you were gone, he kept it together better than Suga. But Daichi couldn’t blame him for his erratic behavior.
“Do you know what you’ve just done? Do you know who just left the world? For your sorry ass?” Suga yelled, struggling against Daichi’s hold, breaking free and grabbing Asahi by the collar of his shirt again, shaking him harshly. “She was the most important person in our lives, in my life, and you just show up and get her killed? You sick bastard!” Suga sobbed, not finding the strength to yell anymore at Asahi, falling to his knees in front of his old friend. His hands slowly fell from Asahi’s shirt and landed on either side of his kneeling body, tilting his head up with his eyes closed as he cried for your loss. He’d loved you with his entire being, and although he’d known you’d never love him the same… He’d never thought in a million years you’d sacrifice yourself for someone who’d been lost before.
Asahi felt… empty. Hollow. Like his soul had just been ripped out of his body. And it had…. He had no doubt about it. You were everything to him, his heart, his soul, his reason for living. Why else would he have traveled so far, done so much, fought so damn hard to get back?
For you.
He’d kicked and fought for so long, so damn long against everything he came across, just so he could see you again, so he could be with you again. But not like this. He’d give anything to get you back, to bring you back to life, to give you the same serum he’d been given to make you immune. But he knew even the serum couldn’t heal death. And that’s what you’d been greeted with with his resurfacing. Your untimely death. All because of him.
But your words… they finally registered in his brain. The noise of the zombies groaning and hissing as they over took you had been deafening along with his own screaming of horror, but… he’d heard you loud and clear, as if you’d been whispering right into his ear.
“Ka…. Kazuki.” Asahi whispered, looking down at his bloody hands, seeing they were no longer shaking, but knowing he wasn’t completely coming to terms with your death just yet. Not yet. In the privacy of his lonesome, he’d handle what he’d caused, what your final moments must have been like.
“No…. No. Fuck you… NO!” Suga suddenly yelled, getting to his feet and standing in the way of where the baby was being hidden, “You took her from me, you’re not going to take him, too. No! Over my goddamn dead body! Daichi, stop, no!” Suga’s voice was hoarse at this point, and he struggled again against Daichi as he grabbed his best friend. “No! He got _____ killed!” Suga sobbed, feeling his blood boil at just the thought of Asahi touching the baby he raised with you. His baby. Not Asahi’s.
Daichi took a shaky breath as he held Suga in his arms, keeping him from struggling too much and lunging at Asahi again, “Suga…. Kazuki…. He’s not yours…. He’s not your baby, Suga….” He reminded his best friend, holding him closer when he felt Suga start to struggle harder, “He’s Asahi’s!”
Asahi looked up at his former best friends, his eyes wide, looking like a small child himself - A small child covered in the innards and blood of the dead, sweat making his body odor and the dead’s mold into a single awful stench, his usual long hair had been chopped off to be short enough for the zombies to not be able to grab it so easily. “M….. Mine?” His voice was barely above a whisper, the groans and moans of the dead coming from the other side of the gate still and drowning out his realization. His eyes snapped to the gates, slowly shaking his head as he connected the dots. “Fuck….” He bit his bottom lip and closed his eyes, bowing his head as he sobbed, letting his loss overcome his entire body and mourn your death. You’d given him everything you had - your love, your heart, your soul…. Your life…. And now, he realized, you’d given him something he’d always wanted to have with you.
A new beginning.
As much as Asahi wanted to keel over and die, give up on his life with the forfeit of yours, he knew he couldn’t. Because if he left this world, if he followed after you into the ever changing world of the cosmos… He’d be leaving the future behind. Your son. His son. He had to live for Kazuki. Had to keep breathing, keep his head above the waters of anguish and guilt to give Kazuki the chance at a normal life - as normal as someone could have in this dead world.
Asahi had to keep living.
For you.
For his son. For Kazuki.

I Can’t Believe I Have the Girlfriend of My Dreams (An Unromantic Love Comedy LN) Chapter 3
CHAPTER 3
           I let out a big yawn as I hear my old Masked Avenger clock ring.
Just five more minutes…as I decide to go back to sleep.
My eyes are still heavy and the sunlight coming in from the windows are hitting my face.
Where did that pillow go?
I try to find a pillow to cover my head but no avail. Strangely, I hear the alarm clock, but also some shallow snoring noises. But my dad isn’t home right now.
It’s not me right?
Weirdly, I smell something pretty too. Almost like strawberries or something, but I don’t remember eating any strawberry candy and leaving the wrappers around. Must be a side effect of the accident or something, but the smell and breathing seems like it coming from something right next to me. I turn to my left side and I oddly recognize that long black hair. It looks like a person but I can’t make out too well with my eyes half open.
Huh, looks like Yuki-san is in my bed.
Wait.
“EHHHHHHHHHH?” I screamed in disbelief.
         I jumped out of the bed immediately.
Oh thank goodness I have my pajama pants on.
I rub my eyes once more to make sure what I’m seeing is real, but there’s a girl in my tiny bed.
“Hey…I’m still trying to sleep after last night…” let out the mysterious being.
“Ge..get out of my bed you…you strange person!”
I hoped my words would get a reaction from this mysterious being but it did nothing. The silhouette of the person rose up and the sunlight revealed its identity. There she was. The school’s Ice Witch. It was no one other than Akane Yuki, in the flesh, in my bed, wearing my school’s uniform white dress shirt. Her long black hair flowing down her shoulders, her fair skin, all wrapped in a bow with her doll-like hazel eyes. My white dress shirt fit her perfectly showing all the curves of her body almost like an extension of herself, with the sunlight behind her looking like an angel that just fell from heaven.
“Why are you being so mean to your girlfriend after all we did last night?” as she pouted.
What.
Did.
We.
Do.
Last.
Night?
“WHATTTTTTT???”
Did I do something lewd with her last night? Not that I don’t mind!
I honestly don’t remember much besides it being my first day back, but I definitely would remember if Yuki-san came to my house even if I had a brain injury!
“Why are you being so loud Kazuki-kun? All we did was study all night.” she said confused.
Study? What does she mean by study?
I know couples around my school that say they’re “studying” but I see them going to love hotels on the bike way home.
“STUDY? You mean that we uh…” I can’t even finish the sentence from shock and embarrassment.
The blood is rushing from downstairs to the rest of my body.
“You mean what?” as this imposter Yuki-san rubbed her eyes some more.
Until it hit her like a brick.
Her pale skin really contrasts when the blush comes in.
“You..you pervert!” and she threw a pillow at my face.
Headshot.
“All... all we did was go over some math and English you pervert! There’s no way I would do “that” with you . At least…” she mumbled off.
“Put… put some pants on first!” as I throw my spare sweats at this very convincing imposter.
Alright. I need to know what’s going on.
Obviously this must be some elaborate prank. Maybe Daisuke is blackmailing Yuki-san and ordered her to play a trick on me.
That punk! He’s gone too far this time!
Or maybe it was Dr. Mori, after all, she’s the most logical choice with all the power she has! There’s no way there is Akane Yuki sitting across from me right now, in my room, on my floor, wearing my clothes. My train of thought was cut off when she started talking.
“Uh… are you ok Kazuki? I’m starting to get worried about you idiot.”
“What?” as I try to snap out of my dazed and confused state.
“IDIOT! Listen for once!” as she started pouting some more.
I got to admit, it’s pretty adorable when this Yuki-san imposter does that. It was a different side from the usual cold stare. I snap from my malaise and start to ask questions.
“Who are you and why do you look like Akane Yuki from my class?”
The imposter looked at me confused, like I was the one that was being weird.
“What? I’m your girlfriend dummy. Of course I look like Akane Yuki because I AM her idiot.”
I extended my hand towards her slowly intended to touch her to see if she’s real, but she leans back and stretches. I feel something soft and warm.
“Hey…HEY!” as she slaps my hand away.
“KAZUKI!” as she pouts even more while trying to stop blushing.
“I don’t know what’s your deal right now Kazuki, but we need to stop fooling around! Today’s the date you promised me.”
I look at my calendar. It’s our day off. I have a date with this Yuki-san imposter.
What is happening?!?!
I head to our living room, and there was my alleged girlfriend the imposter Yuki-san making breakfast along with my mother. Imposter Yuki-san is wearing my apron, and even though it’s old and hero-themed, she could wear anything and make it look amazing.
I’m thinking too much.
Observing from the dining table, it seems my mother is fond of this fake. The imposter Yuki-san is holding her own, with her skills impressing my mother.
“Dig in!” as the imposter Yuki-san handed me a plate of omelet rice with ketchup in the shape of a heart and our initials.
There’s no way I’ll eat this, it might be poisoned!
“Kazuki!” my mother says to me while brandishing a butter knife. I’ll reluctantly take a bite; if it is poisoned I’ll spit it out. My mother will protect me. My spoon is shaking as I take a spoonful of the omelet. I see imposter Yuki-san patiently awaiting my reaction.
“Did…did you like it?”
As the food hits my taste buds, it becomes the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. Sorry mother’s secret ramen recipe, but this has become my new favorite dish.
“It’s…it’s delicious!”
I eat more and more, with each bite more flavorful than the last. I hear a sigh of relief from imposter Yuki-san. There’s still an elephant in the room though.
How could mother be ok with a maiden like Yuki-san staying over, and especially sleeping in my room?!?
“Uh…can someone tell me why though is Yuki-san staying here with us?” I nonchalantly say.
Both of the women in this household looked at me like they weren’t sure if they heard me correctly.
“Kazuki, Akane is living with us. Don’t you remember? She lives alone and it’s not safe for a fair maiden like her to live by herself!” Yuki-san started blushing.
“Oh mother, I can take care of myself, and as long as I’m with Kazuki-kun I’ll be alright!” The two seem like they were already best friends.
We start to head off to our date at the amusement park. I tried my best to get out of it, but mother smiles as she tells us to have fun today. She whispered something to imposter Yuki-san, but I couldn’t make out what those two were planning. Imposter Yuki-san was dragging me the whole way, and I would’ve gotten lost easily. When we finally arrive at the amusement park, it was packed with kids and other couples.
I still can’t believe I’m with Yuki-san at an amusement park.
“C’mon, I want to ride the rollercoasters!”
I never would have thought she was the type to ride scary rides like that. I stay cautious of this fake’s intentions!
Suddenly Yuki-san grabs my hand.
“What are you a baby Kazuki?” as she sticks her pink tongue out.
She’s nothing like the Yuki-san I know…
We approach our first ride, fittingly called The Perilous Plunge.
Just my luck…
Yuki-san eyes lit up like a kid seeing candy.
“Let’s go!”
I nearly throw up from the ride, and it was one of the rides that had cameras to see people’s reactions. Looking at mine, I was screaming for dear life. I’m shaken from all the thrill rides and nearly pass out, but we go from ride to ride, riding almost every single ride in the park.
We head to the arcade as a break from the thrill rides. I wasn’t sure if I could hold down the breakfast any longer. Walking through the arcade I could see the newest and latest games occupied by kids and other couples. I tried looking for a light gun game but there weren’t any available machines. Instead I notice Yuki-san disappeared from my sight.
Where did she go?!?
I look into the corner of my eye and notice that she was standing in front of one of the crane games. If you want to know a secret from a pro, those games were all rigged. It would either be a money sink or sheer luck. Based on what’s happening right now, I’m not sure if I’m the luckiest person alive, or living a cruel joke. But Yuki-san was looking at the cute stuffed cat doll. She put in a token and had a look of determination to get it. Of course, she lined it up perfectly to one of the cat dolls, but the claw barely picked up the doll. Yuki-san looked at me with her puppy dog eyes, the kind that tugged at your heart strings.
Ah fine alright I’ll do it.
She wanted me to win her that stuffed animal from the claw machine.
“It’s impossible though Kazuki!”
It was an opportunity to redeem myself from all the screaming from the rollercoasters. Although I was cautious of this fake Yuki-san, a part of me couldn’t resist trying to be the hero, even if it was getting a cat doll.
“Watch this.”
I line up the claw perfectly on the cat doll that was the easiest to get. The trick is you want to get for ones that are close to the edge, and preferably for big round objects, you want to go for something the claw could hook onto, such as the body. Yuki-san was holding my arm beside me, locked in anticipation that I might actually achieve what she thought was impossible. The timer was slowly counted down to zero, and the claw slowly descended on the cat doll.
C’mon! Please get it!
The claw descended on the cat doll, and then it swung leftwards, missing the whole cat doll.
Damn it! I’m sorry Yuki-san.
But as the claw slowly ascended to the top, it managed to snag the tag. I couldn’t believe it, and neither did Yuki-san. We both realized how much of a small miracle we had just witnessed. Our astonishment is broken when Yuki-san surprises me with a hug from behind. I feel her chest pressing on my back.
“I knew you could do it!”  
I try to compose myself and reach down to the small door to retrieve the prize. If anything, it was all those hours at the arcade with Daisuke is paying off. There’s nothing like a feeling you get from seeing a smile from a girl you’ve had a crush on for the past year. This is the best thing that’s happened after the accident and the incident.
Maybe this isn’t a dream, and this is the real Akane Yuki.
It was getting late towards the afternoon, and we had one ride left to go according to the park map. It was the Ferris Wheel.
“Let’s go Yuki-san, we have time for one last ride.”
However, Yuki-san wasn’t as adamant as she was with the thrill rides.
“Uh…it’s getting late, let’s skip this one and head on home.” says Yuki-san nervously.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The cool, calm, and collected Akane Yuki was afraid of the most peaceful ride in the whole park.
I just have to tease her once.
“C’mon, what are you scared? How can you go on those thrill rides but feel afraid of this?” I tease Yuki-san.
“I’m not afraid! Fine! We’ll finish the date with this ride.”
It was nearly closing time for the park, and we were the last two people on the ride. The ride operator made a last call for us, and he gave me a thumbs up when Yuki-san was mumbling words of encouragement to herself and hugging the cat doll tightly behind me.
         The Ferris Wheel ride lets you see the entire park from the view. We spent the entire day here, and I’m not sure what to think of it. Nothing but questions started going through my head.
Is this real?
Is Akane Yuki really my girlfriend?
This can’t be a dream.
All the questions were put aside when Yuki-san sitting across from me asked a question.
“Did you have fun today?” she meekly says.
Inside I think yes but I didn’t have the courage to say it out loud. I muster up my guts and say:
“Yes. It was the most fun day of my life so far!”
I let out a sign of relief. Yuki-san is still sitting across from me with a big smile, with her fear of the Ferris Wheel overpowered by my reply.
“Uh…since we’re a couple, why are you sitting across from me dummy!”
That’s true, if we were a couple we should be sitting together.  
Yuki-san stands up to try to move over to my side, but she stumbles and falls into me, with her arms holding the handlebars behind me. Her face is close enough to me that I can feel her warm breath.
This is the scene where the couple kisses just like in the movies. The day has finally come Kazuki! Alright don’t mess this up, but I’ve never kissed a girl before!
Immediately I feel the warm lips of Yuki-san pressed upon mine. Her initiative took me by surprise. If time could freeze at this exact moment, I wouldn’t mind. I feel our hearts racing together, and for a second, I feel at ease, with all the worries of my life gone in an instant.
So this is what it feels like.
Our moment ends, when Yuki-san lets go and falls next to me with my arm rested behind her. We didn’t talk for the rest of the ride; we didn’t need to. We saw the sunset from the view, just the two of us.    
          We came home pretty late, but we managed to make one of the last trains. I’m really tired and exhausted from amusement park today. The first thing Yuki-san did when we arrived at my place was help my mother start preparing dinner. It was hamburger steak, one of my favorite dishes. Usually I would be the one beside my mother making the hamburger patties, but the two women forbade me from helping out.
I can at least set the table.
Like the omelet earlier this morning, this was the best hamburger steak I’ve ever had. Yuki-san patted herself on her back for the effort. I can’t wait to call it a day.
“Kazuki?”
“What is it Yuki-san?”
I can sense that something was troubling Yuki-san. Even spending an entire day at the amusement park didn’t really tire us out. We were still both lying in bed together, and for some reason both of us couldn’t sleep yet. This is the same ceiling I’ve known forever as I notice the small dent I made in the panel when I was kid.
“Why did you call me Yuki-san the whole day? We’re a couple now so there’s no need to be formal right?”
She had a point.
Couples and close friends are on a first name basis aren’t they?
“It’s because this seems so strange to me.” I tell her truthfully.
Yuki-san was confused and turned her head to look at me. Yuki-san’s eyes make contact with mine, and my heart flutters when I see that her eyes are showing one feeling – concern.
“It’s because yesterday you and I barely talked like ever. After the incident I never thought this would be possible.”
Yuki-san paused for a moment to compose her thoughts. She rolls over to be on top of me.
Calm down Kazuki!
“Face it Kazuki, you and I are together. This has been one of the happiest times of my life, and I lov…” until she stopped herself turning her face bright red in this dark room. She rolls back to her previous position.
“I mean, I’ll like it if you would call me by my first name… please?”
She turns her head and we lock eyes. With that smile, she could have had anyone in the palm of her hand, but yet here she was. She was with me, and I with her.
“I’m sorry Akane, maybe I’m just feeling tired from today. Good night Akane.” As I tried to get back to sleep.
“Good night Kazuki…” as I feel her soft lips against my left cheek.
“Sweet dreams.”
