Sharks in the Water part 2

Part 1 Part 3

OnsenOwner!femYuu x Azul Ashengrotto

Azul isn't a fan of competition, especially when they steal away his best girls to work for them. He'll have to learn to share if he wants the benefits of having a business partner.

Azul had heard of many business meetings over dinner. He drafted a contract and placed it in his breast pocket. If the meeting went well he could end up taking the spa right from under her or at the very least, keep it under his control.

He wanted to arrive early to get the perfect table for two, only to find she was already there. She was dressed to the nines. A simple but elegant long cocktail dress with heels. Her jewelry were a strings of pearls on her neck and wrists.

She with her back to the door. Clearly, she knew etiquette. Never sit at the head of the table unless you are the guest of honor. Which in this case was him. She hadn't ordered anything as she waved off the server. She didn't want him to feel like he was late by starting without him.

Azul should have just greeted her but he was enraptured by her. Yuu reached into her clutch and pulled out a hand mirror. She gazed into it and smiled as she apprised herself only to quickly flick it in another direction to show Azul his own reflection. She caught him.

"Azul, you shouldn't sneak up on people." She teased as she snapped the mirror closed.

He straightened his tie as he move to sit down.

"I could help but stare. You really dressed for the occasion." Azul said quietly picking up a menu.

Yuu pouted making a pitiful sound.

"Is that all I get?" She asked poking her lower lip out. "Can't you say I look pretty?"

"You're confident." Azul smiled.

"I'm right. Is this how you treat a girl, especially one trying to make you happy?" Yuu said slyly.

"Considering this meeting is over you oweing me an apology then you already know how to make me happy." That came out a bit more flirtatious than intended.

"Correction, I owe Floyd an apology. He's already being compensated though. The girls are seeing to that. This, right now, is merely a dinner invitation." Yuu said as she waved down the waiter "A chardonnay please."

"Pinot Noir." Azul said before dismissing the server. "A chardonnay?"

"I had a sudden craving for fish tonight. The taste pairs well." Yuu purred as she rested her chin on her hand. He eyes were piercing yet there was a subtle softness.

The dim lights of the restaurant and the soft light of the lamp on the table made it impossible for Azul to focus on anything but her. A chill traveled up his spine and the waiter couldn't have come sooner as he poured their glasses.

As he stepped away Yuu gave a wink to the waiter who blushed and took their orders for the main course.

Azul rolled his eyes. He needed to remind himself that she was probably like this to everyone. Still, she could at least focus on her date guest.

"Don't give me that look. I'm just being friendly." She smiled.

"Is that what you call friendly? Is that what you have your girls doing?" Azul was already suspicious of the goings on in Yuu's Onsen but he was beginning to confirm his thoughts.

"Of course not. Well not exactly." Yuu tried to explain "The girls are like hostesses. They entertain, only in the traditional sense. I train them in singing, dancing, art, and playing instruments. Alongside tea ceremonies, holding games, and playing a mean game of ping pong. Other girls learn spa care and cleaning. The last practice cooking in the kitchen. Each has their own role." Yuu explained feeling slightly insulted but understanding Azul's concerns. He wanted to know what his dorm were doing.

"Wouldn't it be better to focus just on the spa? You have plenty of customers from Pomefiore alone." Azul asked.

"No, the Onsen is a place to relax and escape work, not just a spa. Sometimes people just want to eat some good food while listening to music or play games." Yuu's reasoning was based on her upbringing in her own family's hot spring.

"If they wanted food and music the lounge would be the best." Azul had an undercurrent of irritation. Losing customers to the Onsen had been the source of his issue with the spring's Mistress.

"I suppose, but don't you think the atmosphere of being tended to by pretty women makes the food much better?" Yuu officiated.

"Personally I think you have your hands full. Training so many girls at once while balancing out managing the spa sounds exhausting." Azul reached into his pocket to pull out the contract. With one little signature, he would have it all.

"You're too forward. Give a girl a minute. We haven't even eaten." Yuu whined stopping Azul in his tracks.

Azul knew he needed to keep her happy if she would sign. He relented and they talked about other things until their food arrived.

Yuu gleefully dug into her seafood paella as Azul received his roasted lamb.

"Now then, you had a proposal? I do like proposals you know, looking over at that table it seems they agree as well." Yuu joked as she pointed out the couple at a neighboring table.

As if on queue one got on bended knee and asked for their hand. The restaurant was filled with polite clapping and enthusiastic cheers.

"I have a deal for you but nothing as life-changing as that." Azul felt his face turn red at Yuu's little joke.

Yuu pouted as she began tuning Azul out, much more interested in her wine glass.

"As I was saying earlier I believe you could use some help. I'm offering my aid to take care of all the messy business so that you can focus on what matters. The beloved matron of the onsen could use a break." Azul's honeyed words fell on deaf ears as Yuu gazed absent-minded as she tapped the shaft to her class. "Just sign here."

Yuu pursed her lips in thought before smiling.

"How generous of you Azul. Unfortunately, I am in no need of help. You on the other hand need it." She said smugly.

"Why in the seven's names would I need your help?" Azul asked aghast.

"Well let's face it besides the shifty atmosphere, unhinged staff, lack of entertainment, and honestly laughably dated decor. All you have are your backroom deals. It seems to me that your lounge is just some front you'd see run by mobsters. How can you bring in new customers like that? " Yuu didn't mince words. "It's not awful. But it needs a woman's touch."

"A woman's touch?" Azul repeated in a deadpan tone.

"My touch makes anything better~♡. But yes. You don't have what you need to get more customers. I propose a counteroffer. We spend some funds on a few minor renovations to the dining room. New stage, instruments, change some of the seating and cutlery. I introduce you to some of my best girls to get my regulars in your door. I'm also training a few who are good at serving and I'll offer them to you under contract. They can charm and keep customers coming back. They can even perform on stage. I've polished my gems nicely." Yuu said with pride in her voice.

"I don't understand? What do you get out of this?" Azul was suspicious of course.

"Look the Onsen is doing well but my girls need to shine more and show off their talents. Getting them out there to a bigger crowd would benefit me when customers come to request them. They need a taste before they ask for me. Plus if you offer some culinary expertise it would help. We don't serve meals and don't intend to but our snacks and sushi are much to be desired I will admit." Yuu was being realistic. They both had something to gain, it's a fair deal.

"Can I request girls? How about the mouse one?"Azul could tell Yuu liked that girl and wanted to know how desperate was she for the deal.

"Tilly isn't going anywhere she's one of my best. The older crowd loves her."

"Older crowd are you selling her to old men?" Azul wretched in disgust.

"Of course not. But the NRC staff love her. The sweet little girl appeal reminds them of a daughter. Having a sweetheart listen to your complaints and bringing youth back into your life is needed for older people. I need girl to target every market?" Yuu snapped at first.

"So what's your market?" Who liked a flirty girl like her? Not that Azul didn't see the appeal. She was mature, well spoken but always seemed like she wanted to eat you up.

"No one really. As the matron, I only entertain during events. The only person who'd ask for me are guys like you. Ones that come in with something to say already. I'd like to say I'm jealous when the girls go out on lunch dates with customers. All the while I'm stuck with clients. It's fine I at least know where I stand." Yuu sighed downing her glass.

"Have a preferred customer you'd like to entertain?" Azul asked feeling his neck turn pink as he watched her spin the glass between her fingers.

"We all do. But mine is rare. I like the ones who like money. Not rich. Guys with more money than sense are short-term investments. Guys who know value are the ones I like. They pick their target wisely and then strike when the moment is right." Her voice was low and sultry like honey and Azul felt pulled in.

"Is the moment right? He smiled leaning towards her.

Yuu brushed back a lock of Azul's silvery hair.

"Take me home for dessert and we'll see if we can seal the deal."

If you are still doing these, perhaps 👥 with Beliya'al and Albert (perhaps Yuu as well)?

Albert:

I could like to think if not outright friendly, at least amicable with each other.

Al would probably have a hard time not laughing or at least getting a small kick out of (I would assume) both Bel and Jade's teasing of Azul.

He might pick up on any curiosity Bel might have towards certain things and try filling him in on stuff? He would probably also ask in time to know a little more about Bel. Of course, if Bel's past is just something he doesn't wanna talk about, Albert would 100% understand and not press.

Eugenio:

Oh thank God The Seven, someone else competent help manage some of the 1st years lol

Might get a sense Bel's demonic-adjacent, but might brush it off as just 'Eh, he's probably some kind of fae like Malleus'.

Respects the Drip™️, Might start taking inspiration from him and trying to deck out their own wardrobe.

Would definitely want to swap music playlists.

At first would try offering home-cooked food as their way to introduce themselves and use it as an ice-breaker

08/19/23’s delivery 🏹✉️ twisted wonderland

a happy birthdayヽ( ･∀･)ﾉ_θ彡☆Σ(ノ `Д´)ノ,ヽ( ･∀･)ﾉ_θ彡☆Σ(ノ `Д´)ノ ;; summary. ‘their s/o’s birthday has come up, so they decide to celebrate it.’

characters. first years : ace trappola , deuce spade , jack howl , epel felmier , sebek zigvolt ( separate ) ;; romantic . 🖇️ tags. reader is gender neutral ( you/your ), reader is yuu, romantic fluff

📡 _a/n. finally, a group of characters that isn’t dorm based. this was inspired by 1) their prefect bday voiceline s & 2) my bday is in two days !! won’t be able to post then, since i’m in peru and i’ll be visiting oxapampa that day, so i’m posting this now. and if it happens to be your birthday too, happy birthday!

a. trappola

— of course, you being so friendly with heartslabyul, it’s without a doubt ace would quickly convince riddle to hold a birthday party for you there. it’s your birthday, after all, and he wants to go all out for his lover, so why not hold it at the place known for birthday parties? or, unbirthday parties, rather, but details, details.

— he can be rather teasing about you being the center of attention, but the funny thing is, he’s the one treating you as such in the first place. “hey, don’t you know it’s my partner’s birthday? that means they can do whatever they want!” it’s a little embarrassing honestly, but he does it with good intentions.

— prior to your birthday, when you were talking about what you hoped to receive as gifts, he may have acted like he wasn’t listening, but you better put your trust in the fact that he was paying attention to every single word. he does his best to get you what you want, but if for some reason he can’t, he’ll gift you the madol he was already saving so you can get whatever you want.

d. spade

— though he’s not sure about planning a huge party for you like ace, deuce will certainly take it upon himself to take you on a nice date. wherever on sage’s island you’d like to visit, he’s willing to take you, after all, he wasn’t saving up all that madol for nothing. you’re his beloved, and he wants to treat you like royalty.

— along the way, he does hope to make it as romantic as possible as with each place you visit he gives you another gift. at the beach he’ll gift you something he knows you’ve been longing for, and at the park he’ll gift you something that he’s heard you talk about from time to time. when he does give those things to you, he politely waits to see your reaction to see if you like it or not.

— he also asks trey how to make a cake, as he wants to treat you a nice dessert as well, once you’re back from your date. he’d like for you to have something that he made you. it’s not super complex and it doesn’t taste like the best cake in the world, but he made it with love, so he hopes you’ll accept that much.

j. howl

— he isn’t sure how you’d like to celebrate your birthday, but whatever you plan, jack will come along with you willingly. though if he had to take you out somewhere, seeing as he’s the sporty type, perhaps he’d take you out on a run on sage island’s beach. and then, once that’s over with, brings you to a nice restaurant to restore your energy.

— you’re his lovely s/o, so he’s adamant on treating you with love and care. if you’re not already full after the restaurant, then he’s fully prepared to make you a lovely birthday meal using savanaclaw’s food supply. after all, he wants you to be in good health. not to say he wouldn’t serve you a nice cake just because it’s sugary, though. it’s your birthday, and you’re well deserving of a sweet treat, no?

— he pays good attention to the things you like, so best believe he’ll also be giving you a nice gift as well. a good listener he is, paying ever so close attention to the things that catch your eye, and the things you bring up just a little more often than other things. he absolutely won’t hesitate when gifting you the best of the best.

e. felmier

— certainly, a birthday with epel is a birthday well spent. he’s more than welcome to make you some sweet apple related treats, like pies and cakes and some delicious beverages too—anything for his partner, of course. you’d almost think your birthday was apple themed, with all that he makes you.

— as for his present(s) to you, most likely you’ll find him gifting you something style or fashion related. such a thing is the heart of pomefiore, after all. no matter what kind of clothing you’re into, he’s the last person to judge you for it, and encourages you no matter what. so of course, his gift reflects that!

— needless to say, epel is sure to go the extra mile for you. it’s your birthday after all, the best day of the year for both you and him, and he wants to make sure that it shows. he wants you to be happy, so whatever kind of birthday you want, he’ll work hard to make sure it’s a birthday that you can have.

s. zigvolt

— for you, sebek is passionate and ready to celebrate your birthday with you. whatever you may desire he is certain he can give it to you, after all, as even a half fae it’s with ease that he can use his magic to get you something special. quite the opposite of how the stories tell the relationships between human and fae, certainly.

— if it’s a physical gift you’d like, he’ll definitely ask malleus for advice on how to make it or do something alike with magic. if it’s a treat you’d like, then— well, actually, maybe he shouldn’t ask for advice on this one. especially since it’s lilia who’s offering. after all, you’d like something he made himself, right? a gift that came from the heart is a good gift indeed.

— whether you’d like a large scale birthday with the entire school attending or just a date between you and him, he’s going to go all out, as a knight should, so just ask and he’ll prepare. even if you’re hesitant in asking because you think it’s too much to ask for or too expensive. no matter what it may be, he wants to cater to you, so just let him know, he’ll get it for you one way or another.

(The continuation of this post where during a spell class a portal opened and the boys' female doubles as well as MC's appeared in the class) (I think I could make it an independent "story" for the adventures of my MC /OC /YUU)

My MC /OC /YUU and his double crossing the gaze in the class: * Double bi panic *

*Now we will have to find a solution to bring these young ladies and this gentleman back to their reality, but in the meantime here is the look of our twisted guys if they were girls*

Dorm leaders:

Riddle: Looks both serious and cute, with a round cheeky face and big eyes with long thick lashes as well as a pretty pixie haircut. Obviously she stays small but is always bigger than my MC OC YUU, her voice both soft and sharp, a very interesting contrast.

Leona: Made more of a woman than a young girl, still has magnificent hair, bewitching eyes and has a very toned and nicely muscular body. His voice is deep with that tone both seductive and bored. She knows perfectly well that she is beautiful, that she has charm and adores the handset with her immense intelligence. It's an absolutely formidable combo. She is the same height as her male double.

Azul: Gives that mafia-like aura (Or Sugar Mummy), with her hair styled in an impeccable bun and her tailor that is both professional and flatters her gorgeous figure perfectly. Her smile is both sweet and dangerous. But we all know that deep down she is a sweet girl who needs reassurance and who needs to realize how smart, hardworking, and beautiful she is (and we know any of us don't would stop proving it to her). She must be two or three centimeters shorter than her male double.

Kalim: She's still a sun ball and a full cinnamon roll! So positive and supportive! Tie up her long silver hair with a cute headband and always do her makeup in warm tones (where instead Jamil helps her with her makeup like that). Always wears tons of gold bracelets on her wrists and ankles, is very tactile, and has no problem cuddling the people she loves and appreciates! Is the kind of friend who makes sure you eat well and that you don't miss anything. (I can see her thinking that she and Jamil have more of a sister relationship than a master and servant relationship). Is exactly the same size as her male double.

Vil: Let's be honest here, Vil would be the most gorgeous woman who hasn't set foot at Night Raven College for decades after The Beautiful Queen! You almost feel like she's straight out of a fashion magazine but no, it's just that our Reine des Poisons takes so much care of her and works so hard to come to such potential! Her magnificent hair would reach her shoulders, her voice would be as beautiful as honey on a slice of bread and her makeup and manicure would be as perfect as it gets! Maybe she would be a little taller than her male double (even without heels). (I don't know why but apart from her care and makeup, I also see her very well making her own jewelry as well as her perfume).

Idia: Haired with two long, fiery quilts, she would be more the type to have an e-girl style but with very loose clothes that would not show her forms (the poor one does not realize that she has the potential to become a model for lingerie). Her voice would be both sweet and high-pitched, and she could also be smaller than her male double. (And Husbando, so many Husbando!). Doesn't trust her smile because of her sharp teeth but that is her charm and she is so fucking cute! Maybe she would be more organized and manic than her double even if her room would still be in a very big mess (at least she didn't leave her underwear lying around in plain sight, she would die of shame if anyone saw the cute and childish little designs on it).

Malleus: This woman ... Would be exactly the same size as her male double! And she would be so beautiful and elegant! With long black hair that she would let hang down her back, as well as her incredible figure! (Also gives those Magical Sugar Mummy vibes). His voice, by all the gods ... The most sensual and that playful note we've ever heard. Her voice is also so deep and sweet (let's not even talk about her laugh or I'll die of happiness). Still gives that awesome and intimidating impression on people but is so sweet when you get to know her (Always make that adorable pout when she's sad or upset, you feel like hugging her tight and telling her that even though she is scary in the early days, she's the sweetest person we've ever met!).

The Vice-leader:

Trey: Don't lie to each other, give these married vibes over and over again. But beware, also hides his game very well because in private ... 🥵. Her beautiful hair tied in a ponytail and her voice in playful tones. Would be the type to wear stockings with his uniform and is the same size as his male double. Smells like cake and vanilla, it's both so nice and it also makes you so hungry!

Ruggie: Is quite skinny because as we know Ruggie often endures difficult months. Short and messy hair, has a cheerful voice and an infectious laugh (Quite fond of pretty things in the background, but since she doesn't have much money, she can't really afford it. If she could, she would certainly treat herself to some pretty hair accessories). Perhaps an unacknowledged Tsundere side. Since she cannot feed herself properly for someone her age, she is most certainly smaller than the average for a Beast Woman. Would probably like to have a cuter look, unfortunately she can't afford it as she doesn't want to look "weak".

Jade: Holy shit, this woman is so dangerous and sweetly sadistic, if you ever pique her interest and she likes you on top of that, I'm sorry for you. Her body is certainly muscular and graceful (She also has quite incredible strength). Has long, wavy hair that she wears half-loose and is exactly the same height as her male double. Her voice and at the same time so soft and cold, you don't know if you should feel comfortable or on the contrary, run as far as possible. Obviously loves going for long hikes, (Her legs are so muscular, if she catches you with that, you won't be able to go anywhere). His tone is so teasing, you can't resist him for long.

Jamil: Very tall, even a few inches taller than her male double. Just like Trey, she smells so good, like cinnamon. Has a fairly athletic build, and remained a very, very good dancer. Very skillful, maybe makes her own wrist and ankle bracelets, also wears a lot of jewelry (not as expensive as Kalim's, but still very pretty and it shows her really well, especially the snake designs ), also wears a lot of ear piercings. His hair is very long, silky, and worn the same way as the male Jamil (maybe with extra pearls in his hair). Her voice is deep (sensual) and with a note of irony and sarcasm. Her make up apply lightly but always in such beautiful warm tones (she also highlights her cheekbones), especially with eyeliner to highlight her intense gaze.

Rook: His hair is worn in the same way as the male Rook, also wears a multitude of hats as well as pretty earrings. Likes to tease those around her, smiling and bright. Has a French accent, of course. But remains someone dangerous in the end. Is the same height as her double, is athletic, skillful and has excellent eyesight (Normal for a hunter). See beauty in everything and everyone! Don't you think you're handsome? Rook will give you ten points for why she thinks you are beautiful and why you should stop thinking that way because otherwise she will stalk you until you accept this truth. Her voice is happy and confident, deep and warm. May like to wear accessories like long socks with natural or animal designs. Specialized in throwing knives.

Ortho: So cute! The little sister you will want to protect at the risk of your life! So smart and friendly, curious too. Wears a cute fiery pixie hairstyle and has a cheerful, thin voice. Is so small and skinny.

Lilia: Oh boy ... see Draculaura from Monster Hight? She has the same look. So much into jokes, loves to surprise people to scare them. Her voice contrasts completely with her appearance since it is deep and velvety. Same size as her male double. Even though she looks so young, she still acts like a child mom. (Obviously, is always so bad in the kitchen, she brings out stuff, sometimes you are afraid that it will come to life to devour you). Despite her jokes, she is still very good advice and listens.

The rest of our boys:

Cater: If fashionable, is certainly a great influencer. Cater pays so much attention to everything, especially the little details and accessories that she wear. Makeup always on top and colorful, could become a model if she wanted. Is smaller than her male double. Joyful and higher pitched voice, her hair is a bundle of silky curls always worn in a cute way (Like Ariana Grande). (Has a multitude of fans and contenders) carefree and likes to give cute or silly nicknames to people she loves and appreciates. Would be the type to flirt with his friends for fun. Probably has a passion for nail art and would be so proud to show off her designs on her Magicam account! Would act with the first years like a big sister although she is not always good advice. She is so teasing.

Ace: Short, messy hair! Pretty tomboy style, enjoys teasing others too much for his own good, always smiling like shit and communicative. Is a sporty person, and quite arrogant, maybe also a little Tsundere side. Is a hopeless hideaway romantic. Even though she likes to do her makeup, she doesn't like taking fifteen years to do it and does the minimum required. Of course has a more feminine side when she's out of school, but honestly, feminine clothes are never practical for big movements. Act confidently but not too deep down. Her voice is happy and dynamic. Is one or two centimeters smaller than her male double. Likes to wear necklaces and chokers. Rather skinny but not as much as Ruggie.

Deuce: So sweet and so want to do her best to make her mom proud of her. Wearing long hair tied in a low ponytail, her voice is high-pitched and strong. Is quite tall (even taller than her male double). Read romance books on the sly but can't help herself when someone finds out. Probably already dyed his hair blonde during his delinquent period and dyed it before entering Night Raven College. Likes to wear barrettes in her hair, also does her best with her makeup but was not used to it before (it was mainly Ace who taught her everything she knows). Secretly loves wearing skirts and dresses, she hasn't been able to experience it before because she didn't think it would look pretty on her (But she's actually pretty). Certainly be shy and insecure when she finds new people, afraid of doing things badly. Blushes so easily that it is funny. When his delinquent side resurfaces, his voice becomes more serious, threatening, his posture leaves no room for shyness! She might want to change for the better, but that doesn't mean she's going to let others do if they want to bully her!

Jack: Do you see Jasper in the Steven Universe? You now have Jack as a woman. She is muscular and strong! The part she's most proud of is her muscular back! His silvery hair his savage and remained indomitable (But that gives him a crazy charm). Don't take shit from people and still is a Tsundere. But her wagging tail always betrayed her about her emotions, as well as her ears. Same size as her male double. Secretly loves cute things and certainly has an army of adorable stuffed animals in her room in Savanaclaw. Wears a biker style, and because she lives in a cold region with her family, she doesn't get cold easily, so her muscular arms are uncovered all the time (for your viewing pleasure 😏). Her voice is serious, so serious! But if you're friends, you definitely hear that thoughtful little note in her voice. If his male version is the Best Boy, his female version is the Best Girl! She takes care of those she loves and is always ready to help!

Floyd: Is exactly the same size as his male double. Wear her hair short cut in a boyish style (she doesn't have the time or the energy to dwell on her hair). Her voice has high notes, especially when she finds something or someone cute! Very expressive, has no filter. Like her sister, she is muscular and graceful. Her dress style could be similar to those of men in the 40's (she much prefers masculine clothes because it is more comfortable and she doesn't have to worry about her chest with large shirts. does not have to wear a bra!). Love accessories like earrings or piercings. Has immense strength and doesn't always control it. Dislikes makeup, she doesn't want to bother with it (but finds it charming on others, that's just her personal opinion). If its male version is not to be upset, it also works with its female version! Especially when it is at this time of the month, run away poor fools!

Epel: The same problem as with its male version! Except that instead of being manly, she wants us to find her sexy and not cute! All her life in her hometown has not to stop telling her that she was cute! Really ? Was she nothing else ?! She wants people she finds attractive to find her sexy, not cute! Just because she is petite, because she has big, innocent eyes and a round, youthful face, doesn't mean it's her definition of beauty or femininity! Much like her appearance, her voice is cute, slender. Her hair is long, wavy and held up with a red ribbon in an elegant manner. Compare to her male version, Vil lets her speak with her accent because it is one of her charm assets. Her face is decorated with delicate freckles. Is quite skinny with a tiny bit of shape but not a lot (let's say she has a lot more than Riddle). Epel is a little smaller than the male Epel, but not much.

Silver: She is the equivalent of Disney Princess Aurora. Except that, unlike, even if she falls asleep anywhere, she doesn't need a knight to protect her, she is her own knight! Remain a formidable swordsman! In spite of everything, remains someone calm and taciturn, very easygoing. She is very fond of animals and as they naturally flock to her, she is very happy about this fact. Wear her hair up to the shoulders and tie it in a ponytail for practice. She has a fairly toned body, but not too much. Her voice is soft and measured. She is much smaller than her male double.

Sebek: Acts hard but is so soft in the end. Looks pissed off all the time but that's just her natural expression. Wears her hair like her male version, and is the same size. Her voice carries so far, it's very impressive the first time you hear her! It is a bit sharp, but not in an unpleasant way. Carries so much esteem and respect towards Malleus, she would also like so much to be like her but she would never dare to compare herself to her! Blushes so hard and so quickly if you press the right buttons, it's so funny to see her get annoyed! Her figure is quite toned and sporty.

And finally, My MC /OC /YUU: Just like his female version, he wears round glasses, is always 150cm tall and has long wavy hair. Has fairly broad shoulders and is slightly muscular without really being so. Does everything possible to make girls feel comfortable and safe in his presence! He knows how exhausting the life and daily life of women is because of societal pressures and the male gaze. He knows that because of assholes, women are afraid of men and are afraid to even be in the same room as them, so he will do his best to ensure that she never feels that way around him! And if someone has the audacity to make one of them feel these feelings, oh boy ... that person won't last long! He was raised by his mother alone, and she taught him respect, consent and righteous values. He is an ally, so rest assured 😊😉. His voice is soft and serious (Also watching him get angry and argued in French is quite impressive! The sound of Rs in his mouth sounds even more aggressive).

A Stuffed Cinnamon Bun

This was inspired by @yummyinmytwistedtummy after their scenario posts. Kalim’s too cute for words so I had to write something for the precious angel. <3

Yuu loved watching Kalim eat. He was always so joyous when it came to food. The young nobleman was already the most cheerful and friendly student in all of Night Raven but when it came to really good food he was an extra kind of adorable. While other students just stuffed their faces Kalim was always smiling this bright impossibly cute smile whenever downing good food.

But just like most of the other students, Kalim had an appetite. And when he ate he didn’t mess around. In fact, by the time Kalim was finished with the sizable meal Yuu had ordered for lunch today, Kalim’s usually flat stomach was bulging out to the point that shirt and vest barely concealed his middle.

“Ahhh, that was so yummy!” Kalim sighed merrily while he flopped onto the couch and patted his bulging belly with both hands.

“You don’t say,” Yuu teased when she sat down next to Kalim.

She lifted Kalim’s shirt up and exposed his tan-skinned bare stomach, round and soft as it pushed the waist of his baggy Scarabia uniform trousers down.

Yuu very gently rested her palm against Kalim’s exposed tummy and caressed it. Kalim sighed in such a way where if he had a tail Yuu was convinced it would be wagging like crazy right about now. She giggled in amusement and began to rub Kalim’s belly in wide circles. Yuu leaned against Kalim while her right hand rubbed up and down his bulging tummy.

“Haaaaah, that feels soooo nice,” Kalim cooed gently and happily. “You’re too nice to me.”

“Pot meet Kettle,” Yuu teased while she gingerly stroked Kalim’s glutted stomach.

Kalim tilted his head. “Who are they? Are they from Savanaclaw?”

Yuu rolled her eyes. Kalim was a sweetheart but that didn’t necessarily make him a genius. Not that it mattered to Yuu. Even if he was a dope, he was her dope.

She eventually rested her head against Kalim’s stomach, nuzzling the side of her face to his warm and soft bloated flesh. With her pressed directly against Kalim’s belly Yuu could hear his stomach working vigorously to digest such a large lunch.

“Wow. Your stomach’s noisier than usual today.”

Kalim giggled and shrugged. “Well you did feed me a way bigger lunch thna usual! Of course my tummy is gonna be all noisy’n-unf-bubbly...” Kalim’s giggling was interrupted when a low burble made him wince and hold a fist to his mouth for a second.

Then Kalim expelled a loud burp that could’ve easily been heard from outside of his dorm room.

BRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHPP!!!!!

Kalim covered his mouth and giggled anew. “Whoops! Haha~ s’cuse me!” Kalim apologized with that giddy smile on his face.

Yuu’s cheeks went red. Kalim may have been a lot nicer and kindhearted than most students here but that didn’t immediately translate to having better manners than they did. Not that Yuu was complaining about that. Far from it. In fact because her head was still rested against Kalim’s belly she could feel it rattle a little when he burped.

“You’re excused,” Yuu insisted and patted Kalim’s belly a few times which made the Scarabia dorm head hiccup cutely. “Got anymore you need to get out?”

“Oh I can totally burp again!” Kalim said with a confident grin. “Wanna see?”

He truly made it way too easy for Yuu sometimes. She legitimately almost felt bad about how little effort she had to put in to get Kalim teasing her kinks. But that guilt was short lived.

Especially when Kalim put a hand on his chest and released another large burp. Only he didn’t look satisfied by that one. “Awww, that was so weak!” Kalim pouted.

He gulped down even more air to burp up but when it came out, it sounded choppy and ended with a softer tiny after-burp.

Bwaurh-AaOOOOooorp!!! Urp!

It was still pretty good and made Yuu’s cheeks grow red as a Heartslabyul Rose. But it didn’t bring Kalim any relief.

Again he pouted and poked his tummy in an annoyed sort of way.

“Sorry, my tummy is being fussy for some stupid reason.”

Yuu shook her head and smiled in amusement. He truly was too cute for words sometimes. So she decided to help out. Yuu held Kalim’s belly in her hands and pressed down into it. There was a loud gurgling that erupted from his stomach that caused Kalim to lurch for a second until a massive belch exploded out of him like a bomb.

BWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRHHP!!!!!!!!!!

It was such a forceful eruption that Yuu felt Kalim’s belly practically jostle around from its release under her hands. A little drool trickled down Kalim’s chin with that beastly Savanclaw-esque roar.

He slouched back against the couch which made his tummy stick out more while he caught his breath. “Wow...haaaaaah...phew...that had to be a record...!” Kalim exclaimed between his labored breaths. He wiped his mouth and chin clean and gently patted his belly.

Yuu was shaken in more ways than one. Her face was completely pink. She felt like there was steam coming out of her ears.

Kalim lazily looked at her and tilted his head in confusion. “Say, Yuu. Did’ja ever notice how your face gets all blushy whenever I burp or when my tummy gets all stuffed like this?”

Yuu froze in place when Kalim said that. She grew nervous but Kalim quickly dispelled her concerns with his next remark.

“Does my face get all red too when I eat too much? Or is that just you?”

She gave him a look. But couldn’t suppress a smile at how cute and criminally innocent he was. So Yuu leaned over and kissed Kalim on the cheek.

The young nobleman made a mousy squeaking noise and suddenly his face was even redder than Yuu’s.

“What am I gonna do with you, Kalim...”

Daichi Dating Nishinoya’s Sister

Warnings: fluff

WOrds: something like 1.5k idek

A/N: I love you so much and this was such a happy request it made my day so bright, please enjoy❤️❤️

Okay so let’s get this one things straight first is that you two spent absolutely forever pining over each other and just thinking that there was no way the other could like you because well you were just different and he knew your brother and stuff and he was all like oh man what would Noya think and then it just got in the way and then one day it was at a party or something and he just told you straight up and you have been dating ever since

You have to admit that Noya got his personality from somewhere and that somewhere is definitely from you

You could be just as loud as him with a booming laugh and energy that cannot be matched by anyone in the room, but unlike Noya you could also very easily read the room and tell when someone wouldn’t want you to be jumping off the walls and when they need you to focus in

You loved having Noya as a brother, the two of you were absolutely wild together and always getting into trouble

Unfortunately for you, somehow Noya is taller than you and you are the one person he gets to tease about being short and he does not let it go, ever like you are the butt end of all of his jokes

When you and Daichi started dating you kept it a secret from Noya because you didn’t want him to find out and freak out because his captain and his sister….weird

He instantly noticed that it felt like you weren’t telling him something and that you were dressing up more for school (like some mascara and maybe a few little hair clips) but he literally couldn’t think anything of it because that’s who you are

You and Daichi always hung out after practice and your most common dates were study dates at all of the little cafes around town where you could enjoy a little pastry with him and work on your assignments together

Daichi gave you this smile that cannot be matched by anyone else and was so genuine that it made your heart flutter every time without fail

He was the most proper gentleman and always walked you home and held your hand the entire way, not minding when you pulled away to point at the fluffy dog across the street or when you were bouncing around excited about some crazy story that trailed off to six other stories that lead to you never finishing the first, he just smiled and followed along the best he could

You and Daichi weren’t very into PDA because you were third years and anything the two of you did would travel like wildfire around the whole school because that’s what happens in a high school

He was always walking with you to class, which no one really thought too much of because you were both in the same classes anyway and sitting next to you wasn’t weird either, Daichi has always been seen as friendly and an open guy

What really hinted people in your class off was when Daichi brushed a strand of your hair off of your forehead and gave you a little “you’re cute” kinda wink

This was such a little action but everyone, and I mean everyone noticed, they all had to do a double take to make sure they saw what they think they saw and of course they did

You started getting more curious gazes and people watched the two of you closely because they all wanted to know the gossip behind your relationship

The two of you continued on as normal as you started telling Daichi that you were thinking about dying your hair to look like Narcissa Malfoy because you thought that it would be hot and just rambling to him until class was over

Your best friend came up to you after class and told you that everyone pretty much knew by now and that they were going to tell Yuu before you could

You didn’t worry too much about it because the third years couldn’t see the second years until after school and you were going to try and capture him first, or at least that was the plan, of course it didn’t turn out that easy for you

“Y/N” you heard a sad voice call from down the hall after school, “why didn’t you tell me”

You turned to meet a sad pair of eyes attached to your brother, who was moping towards you, clearly upset

“I’m sorry I just wanted to make sure that we were really into each other first, and I thought it would be weird for you,” you shrugged trying to tie up the loose ends with him

“Are you kidding Y/N, really?” He frowned at you, “I would love Daichi to be my brother!” He practically shouted as he bounced around the hallway

“I mean he’s the absolute best Y/n!!! He is big, and loud, and can be mean but that’s okay, and nice and likes throwing the ball for me, and he has a big heart and he let me back after getting suspended, and he works really hard and I like him” he shouted bouncing around the hall at you excitedly now shouting, “Daichi is my brother, Daichi is my brother.”

And to your horror Daichi rounded the corner right then, his face frozen in shock

“Hi,” you barely peep out as he comes to meet you at your locker. Noya notices and stops right away but not before going up and shaking Daichi’s hand, “you made the right choice” he laughs really loud before skipping off

“Don’t be late for practice,” Daichi shouts after him before turning his attention back to you, “soooo...he knows?”

“Yeahhh,” you sighed, “he took it well though!” You were instantly as excited as Noya had previously been, “which is good because I didn’t like hiding it from him and that means that we can now hangout together more!” You beamed excitedly at him

He rested his hand on the small of your back before smiling down at you, “Well that’s great Y/n”

From there on out the two of you were able to hangout at your house and you went on a lot more dates, some of them Noya was excited by and wanted to tag along on claiming that he “was so hungry I could die, pleaseee let me come get food with you,” and you had to fight him off to get alone time with Daichi because either he was starving or he wanted to talk about the upcoming matches and what he can do to get better and Daichi had to pull out his angry dad voice to get him away

One day you were wearing Daichi’s team jacket (which is huge on you but it made you so happy that you were practically skipping around your house because it smelled just like him) and when Noya saw you he stopped dea in his tracks, “HEY DAICHI SAID WE WEREN’T ALLOWED TO LET OTHER PEOPLE WEAR OUR JACKETS,” he practically shouted at him

“I don’t know what to tell you Yuu, he’s captain, he can bend the rules,” you winked at him before sticking your tongue out

When Daichi came over later that day Noya annoyed him about it until Daichi threatened to run a mile for every time he brought it up and welllll let’s just say that Noya was suddenly very quiet about the whole thing

You and Daichi had such perfect energy together, he was a planner and liked to know what was happening but was also the person that could say no in the relationship, you were the kind that liked to be spontaneous and would take him randomly out to restaurants you had heard or seen and just would spend the day wandering the town because you could

You could be so energetic on these walks that you would have to slow yourself down to keep up with Daichi’s “grandpa pace” or you would wrap your arm around his and pretend that you were an old couple on a stroll just happy to be there and enjoying your time

You were always wanting affection and you had no shame in asking for it, you would stop and look at Daichi with puckered lips as you made little kissy faces at him and refuse to move until he went over and gave you a kiss, which usually lead to two or three kisses but that only made it better

A collection of Apple Juice ramblings

I have trouble coming up with hcs wor ships even more so when there isnt a lot of canon or other ppls headcanons but here are all my dumb ramblings

Epel is 100% the leader when it comes to their relationship. He's never been the shy type and pretty much initiates all of the firsts in their relationship. First kiss, first handholding, was probably the first to ask Deuce out, etc. When Deuce wants to do something he has to psyche himself up and it takes forever for him to garner the confidence to do normal things. It would get better the longer they date but for now, when it comes to epel, deuce is a disaster and epel seems to know what he's doing.

This is why its a BIG DEAL to epel when deuce initiates something. Hopefully that makes my one comic make more sense.

Deuce is really the only person Epel can be himself around. In his dorm (and pretty much all throughout the school since Rook is always watching) He has to act and talk a certain way, but when he's with Deuce (alone) all of that disappears and that loud country boy comes out again. Deuce sometimes gets lost in his dialect, but he finds that part of epel really cute.

They keep their relationship suuuper under wraps, mostly by Epel's request. I believe that Epel doesnt care about PDA and wouldn't care who knew they were dating if it weren't for vil and his dormates. If/when they find out Epel would become the center or attention and the talk of the dorm and Vil would try to start dictating what he wears and howhe acts on dates...etcetera. Epel doesnt need that drama in his life.

While I dont know much about Rook at all, I feel like the fact that he doesnt like others prying could also translate to not prying into others' private lives and so hopefully he wouldn't start telling everybody he knows Epel and Deuce are dating. And he 100% would know from the start. He's Rook.

Deuce is already an easy target and alreasy has to deal with his friends clowning on him so as to not add another reason they can tease him for, not telling anyone is probably the best course of action.

However these two really aren't great at concealing the fact that there is obviously something between them. Even if they arent kissing or holding hands in public, they're still teenagers, so wanting to spend every waking moment with the guy they're into is just in their nature. Things like meeting up just to chat wherever in school and walking through the halls together could be seen as friendly but .. 🥴

I think Deuce would definitely tell Ace, Yuu, and Grim at some point, to their total surprise. They'd probably start asking every question under the sun about their relationship.

hi lil hc about Ace, i think hes the jealous type. Noticing him and Epel are spending a lot more time together might make him resentful of both of them, even more so when he finds out they're actually dating.

Neither Epel or Deuce are really much for pet names. Epel finds them embarrassing to say or be called, so they just don't.

I dont need to say this but both of these boys would absolutely fight for eachother. they're both quite protective.

matching outfits. these boys are NOT above wearing matching outfits. They have a similar taste in clothing.

speaking of which epel is 100% the hoodie thief in this relationship. Idk if Deuce even owns hoodies but if he does no he does not. They're Epels now.

off topic but it must be hard to secretly date as first years. You share a room with like 3 other dudes (correct my if im wrong) and theres a ton of students everywhere else. it is IMPOSSIBLE to just be alone together unless you sneak out or skip class and esp for Epel and Deuce their dorm leaders would never be ok with that lol. today during work today i just thought about then hanging out in a closet at night because thats the only time they can be totally alone together. Ik it would kill me lol.

I think Epel is the first to fall and i haven't even finished chapter 5 but it would definitely happen sometime during errr that.

idk why but epel seems like the type who really likes physical contact. With him, hugs and kisses last a liiiiittle too long (and sometimes a lot too long) and touches linger. Actually this could be true for both of them i do not know. Epel just seems like the touchy-feely type

Neither Epel or Deuce are jealous types imo. Well Deuce mayyybe a little...

I'll stop here cos its late. If you read all of this thhhankkkssss? Idk how much of it made sense but yeahh. I might do this again because i like to talk .

#deuce x epel #twisted wonderland #epedeu #twst #disney twst #twst epel #epel felmier #epel x deuce #apple juice!!!!!#again #headcanon #deucepel #deuce spade

APPRECIATION POST FOR MY FAVE ANIME BRUNETTES - PART 1

REINA KOUSAKA (Sound! Euphonium)

Her Deal: The hottest trumpeter ever existed in the Kitauji High School Concert Band. Fight me.

The Kumiko Effect: S!E's main protagonist (and human eupho herself - well, that's what Asuka thinks) Kumiko Oumae has her fair share of admirers throughout the series - and the usually silent, but blunt Reina isn't immune to fall on Kumiko's charms. There are certain instances that Reina can be flustered at times, especially when she is teased/complimented by Kumiko. And don't make me start babbling on how their chemistry is just off the roof.

YUMEKO JABAMI (Kakegurui)

Her Deal: Don't let the cute, friendly exterior fool you. When she's on gambling mode, she can be really scary - in a good way.

Dealing with the Devil: Eversince she transferred to Hyakkaou Private Academy, she have gambled with everyone from one-time contender (now "friend") Mary Saotome to almost every single Student Council member. Ryota Suzui has been her constant companion in her gambling sprees.

TOUKO NANAMI (Bloom Into You)

Her Deal: Student Council President. Insanely smart. Loved and admired by everyone. Things seemed to go exactly as she planned (her being exactly like her late sister) - that is until Yuu Koito came and changed everything.

The Person She Loved: In the aftermath of Yuu's and Sayaka's confessions of love (Episode 34 and 37 respectively), Touko has to make a decision on the person she loved the most. She made her move on Episode 38 that led to the dramatic opening episode of Volume 8 of the manga, Episode 40.

YAYOI KUNIZUKA (Psycho-Pass)

Her Deal: Silent yet deadly enforcer of the Division 1 of the MWPSB in Psycho-Pass. Also handy in computer stuff, just like her girlfriend Shion Karanomori.

Rocker Chick: Prior to being an enforcer, Yayoi is a musician in a Sybil-authorized rock band. Her relationship with another musician Rina Takizaki led her to being a latent criminal. During Yayoi's time in the rehab center, she is recruited by then-Inspector Shinya Kogami to become an enforcer in the Public Safety Bureau, which she later accepts.

SAKAKI (Azumanga Daioh)

Her Deal: Underneath her silent demeanor is someone who is obsessed with all things cute, esp. cats.

A Cat Named Maya: Sakaki encountered an Iriomote cat during their school field trip that she can be able to pet. Several episodes later, the cat found its way to Tokyo after its mother got run over by a car. She adopted her eventually and named it Maya. Since Sakaki can't be able to take her home, the cat stayed temporarily to the care of Chiyo Mihama.

NOZOMI KASAKI (Sound! Euphonium)

Her Deal: Veteran flutist eversince middle school. Quit the Kitauji High School Concert Band during her freshman year but returned the following year as the band progressed under the tutelage of Noboru Taki.

Liz and the Blue Bird: Hers and Mizore's story became one of the story arcs in the second season of Sound! Euphonium (the first four episodes to be exact). Their relationship is tested once more on the movie "Liz and the Blue Bird", set during their third and final year of high school.

MISATO KATSURAGI (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Her Deal: Operations Director at NERV. A fierce and dedicated officer but knows how to have fun outside the workplace.

Survivor: Having survived the Second Impact (at the expense of her father), Misato vows to serve at NERV to avoid another tragedy (Third Impact) from happening.

AMI KAWASHIMA (Toradora!)

Her Deal: Resident model / transfer student at Ohashi High School. Childhood friend of Yusaku Kitamura.

Not Just Another Pretty Face: Her presence in Toradora! is often overlooked because of her good looks. She has the better understanding of the situation Taiga, Ryuuji, and Minori are in. It may not look like it, but Ami cared deeply for the Toradora! lovebirds.

MIZORE YOROIZUKA (Sound! Euphonium)

Her Deal: Ace oboeist of the Kitauji High School Concert Band. Been with Nozomi and Yuuko since their time at Minami Middle School.

Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone: During the course of "Liz and the Blue Bird" (and even snippets from the S!E movie "Oath's Finale"), Mizore is slowly opening up to other people, from long time friends/schoolmates Natsuki and Yuuko, to her kouhai (and oboe successor) Ririka, and other members of the concert band.

FAYE VALENTINE (Cowboy Bebop)

Her Deal: A true definition of "Femme Fatale". She is actually 70 years old, because she went into cryogenic sleep following an accident during her teen years. Spends her money on gambling.

Tri-Amare: Change Overnight

Primary Pairing Trio: YuuAyuSetsu Words: ~4.6k Rating: T with implied off-screen M activities Time Frame: First year of college? Maybe second? Dunno yet Story Arc: Stand Alone

Author’s Note: Oh gods, why would I think it to be a good idea to add another iron to a fire I’ve been struggling all year to keep hot enough to produce works worthy of posting? I blame the adorableness of the first several episodes of the Nijigasaki anime; the others have been awesome in their own right, but ideas for this started brewing early. So I guess I’m writing a Niji fic now as well.

Ughn… Ayumu felt her nose wrinkle and her brow furrow as a dull ache in her head filled her slowly waking consciousness. Is this what a hangover feels like? Karin and Emma had described the sensations to her a while back after a bunch of former school idol club members had gathered for a celebration of something. For some reason, Ayumu had feared it would be worse, but then again, she hadn’t had all that much to drink last night. At least not as much as the other two…

Last night hadn’t been the first time any of them had consumed alcohol during a celebration, but Ayumu was pretty sure it was the first time they had actually gotten drunk. Just what kind of beer had Yuu brought last night?

The three friends had gathered last night to celebrate Setsuna’s first single as a professional idol reaching Gold status in sales and the top of the Oricon charts for a week. Ayumu had cooked, Yuu had brought drinks and Setsuna was told just to bring herself as she was the one being celebrated. Not surprisingly, she still ended up bringing something anyway, signed CDs for her favorite fans. It all had been a fun night, not all that different from many other nights except the lack of studying and a particular focus on Setsuna and her accomplishment.

Ayumu’s vision was blurry as she opened her eyes, but the pink she saw indicated the duvet was hers so this was her bed. That made sense, as they had gathered in her room, which again, was fairly normal these days as it was typically the cleanest of the three.

Black. And green. Wait… was that…? Ayumu blinked a couple times in an attempt to focus. Sure enough, Yuu was asleep beside her. It wasn’t the first time her childhood friend had shared a bed with her, but Ayumu still felt a bit of heat gather in her cheeks from the proxim… wait… Yuu was closer than normal. A lot closer. So close, in fact, that…

Oh gods…

Ayumu repressed a gasp as she realized that what she was hugging in her arms was not one of her favorite stuffed animals, but instead, Yuu’s arm. Geez, now she would have to figure out how to let go without waking the other girl, lest she be teased about it. Slowly, and ever so gently, Ayumu began the process of detaching herself from Yuu. However, as she did so, she became aware of another sens…

Oh gods…

Why were neither of them wearing pajamas?!

The temperature of Ayumu’s cheeks reached a boiling point. What the…

Breathing. Senses still kicking in, Ayumu realized it wasn’t just Yuu’s and her own breathing she could hear. There was a third. All but forgetting the fact that she was still attached to Yuu, Ayumu pushed up on her shoulder and craned her neck just enough to…

Oh gods…

Setsuna was lying on her side, mirroring Ayumu’s position such that she assumed the part time idol was hugging Yuu’s other arm. And of course, she didn’t appear to be wearing pajamas either.

Heat was now spreading down Ayumu’s neck. What the heck happened last night?!

Ayumu squeezed her eyes shut as she focused her energy toward piercing the veil of fog in her mind and recalling any sort of details from the prior night.

After dinner, the three girls gathered together to watch a recording of one of Setsuna’s performances. Ayumu and Setsuna had leaned against Yuu in the middle to get a better view of Ayumu’s laptop screen. It hadn’t been the first time the three had squeezed together to watch something, usually anime or idol related videos. It was so common, in fact, that the three had developed an unspoken routine to rotate who got to be in the middle.

What was unusual last night was the alcohol and a heightened sense of… something… Ayumu still couldn’t quite put a finger on the exact emotion, though it had probably been a mix. There was the all too familiar feeling she got when Yuu and Setsuna became lost in their own world while she was stuck watching. Throughout the concert, Yuu bounced back and forth between giddy fangirl and keen-eyed but friendly critic while Setsuna lapped up both the praise and insight like a happy puppy.

Thankfully, Ayumu had at least been able to get in a compliment or two of her own and had received in return several of Setsuna’s signature smiles, the kind that could ignite any heart with line of sight. Ayumu often wondered if the idol had any idea as to the effect of those smiles and if she invoked them intentionally or if they were just a natural part of her charm; Ayumu suspected the latter.

Still, something had continued to bother Ayumi. She hated to admit it, but it was likely the fact that Yuu had been completely focused on Setsuna to the point it felt like she had all but forgotten Ayumu was even there. Not that this should have come as any surprise, that was just how Yuu was when she was hyper-focused on one of her interests. Quite frankly, Setsuna wasn’t all that different, and when the two shared a given interest, a geeky feedback loop consumed them and it was often tough to get them back to reality. And idols were one of those shared interests. Not that Ayumu could blame them as she herself remained a fan, particularly of Setsuna.

Ayumu couldn’t deny her jealousy when Setsuna thanked Yuu for her help with composing the single that just charted, particularly because Yuu had responded by pondering the possibility of getting an internship at the same production company, which Setsuna had thought would be a good idea. This of course would mean the two would be working together and likely grow closer, which had reminded Ayumu of the decision she had made and that she still needed to tell the other two.

But then something had changed. The concert came to an end and Yuu had sighed. Then, saying something about nostalgia, she had opened a new tab and pulled up a different idol video. Ayumu had been surprised when she was suddenly watching herself on screen. A younger, school idol version of herself, but still.

Immediately, Setsuna had cooed something about adorableness which Yuu followed up with something about cuteness, or had it been the other way around? Not that it mattered as Ayumu had already lost the battle in keeping down a blush by the time the other two came to an agreement about her being even cuter now. Ayumu had sworn, years ago, that someday she would react better to such compliments, but that day yet to come. Thus, as always, she had found herself a flustered mess as the other two showered her with adoration.

Perhaps it had been the booze. Perhaps it been the desire to react differently. Perhaps it had been just giving in to a long-repressed desire. Perhaps all three… or probably… no, most certainly all three. In any case, the next memory that came to her was that of leaning in and pressing her lips gently against Yuu’s cheek.

Yuu had giggled her name in response and looked like she was going to return the favor when Setsuna had leaned in to plant a kiss on her other cheek. Ayumu’s jealousy flared again, but instead of pushing Setsuna away, she had pulled… and kissed her fully on the lips.

Oh gods… it really had been her that initiated all… that… Ayumu held down an embarrassed whine as memories continued to bubble up from the hazy depths of her mind.

Ayumu had realized what she had done and tried to retreat, but Setsuna had grabbed her shoulders and pulled them both deeper into the kiss. At that point, Yuu said something Ayumu couldn’t fully recall, but it had caught the attention of the other two girls. They broke off their kiss, turned and descended upon her.

At that point, Ayumu had no idea whose hands or lips went where, but she remembered the sensations. And the passion. Yuu’s gasps. Setsuna’s whimpers. And both of their moans. And by the gods she remembered how much she had wanted more.

Ayumu opened her eyes to see her two closest friends still sleeping soundly beside her. More… she still wanted more. Of course she wanted more. Yuu and Setsuna were more than just her best friends, they were the two she loved more than anyone, or anything else. Yuu, her childhood friend, on whom she’d had a crush for years. And Setsuna, who ignited something within both of them and changed the course of their lives before joining them for the ride as if she had always been there.

The three of them were practically inseparable through their second and third years of high school. And now in college, they’d gone so far as finding a dormitory with three available rooms next door to each other to make it that much easier to be together outside of class.

But now things were more complicated. Why did she have to do that? Ayumu chastised herself for her behavior the previous night. She knew better. Love triangles don’t last. They can’t. And they never ended well for the childhood friend.

Ayumu sighed. She thought she had steeled herself to step away and allow Yuu and Setsuna to be a couple. And she was going to do it last night, but Setsuna made her announcement at breakfast and Yuu immediately suggested a celebration that night. There was no way Ayumu was going to be the one to ruin the mood. Even if she wanted them to be happy, she knew her friends would want to console her and that would just bring everyone down.

“Nnn…”

A quite voice dragged Ayumu from her thoughts.

“Ayu… mu?” Yuu murmured, turning unfocused emeralds toward her.

“G-Good morning, Yuu-chan.” Ayumu managed to get out with minimal stuttering.

After Yuu yawned, Ayumu felt movement on her chest. Oh no! She was still holding Yuu’s arm! Yuu was moving it probably with the intent of rubbing her eyes or scratching an itch or stretching or…

“Ayumu?”

Oh gods! What to do? If she let go now, the movement would likely cause the duvet to slide away and reveal… But if she held on, Yuu would probably be able to feel… Oh gods…

“Why are you…”

“Kyaaa!”

A sudden scream came from the other side of Yuu and the duvet was pulled away. Setsuna, in her surprise, had apparently rolled backward off the bed. And taken the covers with her.

The next few minutes were chaos as the three girls scrambled to find covering while avoiding looking at each other.

“Ughnnn…” Yuu was the first to break the silence, which didn’t come as a surprise to Ayumu. “Anyone else have a splitting headache?” She let her head fall back onto the mattress from her position sitting against Ayumu’s bed.

“Mmm…” Came a meek reply from Setsuna who had backed herself into the corner between the wall and the desk. She clutched her knees to her chin as though to make herself as small as possible while not seeming to care what her position was revealing. Not that finding the skirt she had worn last night would have made much difference.

“Mine isn’t all that bad.” Ayumu admitted. “Do either of you want some water?”

“Yes, please.”

“Mmm…”

“Alright.” Ayumu got up to retrieve several bottles of water.

Upon her return, she couldn’t help noticing how cute Yuu looked in her pink shirt. Somehow, in their haste, they had ended up with the other’s top. It wasn’t the first time they had swapped clothing, but it was still rare to see Yuu in pink. Also, it had been a while, so doing so again felt… no, now wasn’t the time for that.

“Here.” She held a bottle out.

“Thanks, Ayumu.” Yuu replied with a tired smile. “You’re the best.”

Geez… she’s not making it any easier, is she…

Ayumu shook that thought away before making her delivery to Setsuna. “Here.”

After a moment, Setsuna looked up, then away, then down, and away again. The blush spreading across her cheeks was hard to miss. Wait, was she… Geez… Yuu-chan’s shirt is short on me…

“A-anyway, drink up, Setsuna-chan.” Ayumu managed to get out as she pulled down the hem. “It should help a little.” That said, she made her way back to where she had been sitting.

Once again, silence descended upon the room.

Not good. Ayumu thought feeling a tension start to rise. Somebody say something. Please. Yuu-chan! You’re better at this! … … Geez…

“So…” Ayumu ventured.

“Mm?” Yuu turned her head toward her.

“Uhm…” Ayumu couldn’t help fidgeting with the hem of her… Yuu’s shirt. “What do we do now?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well… last night…”

“What about it?”

“Well, we…”

“The drinking, or…”

Yuu-chan, you can’t possibly be that dense! “Not the drinking.” Though I am still curious about that beer you brought.

“Oh, well…” Yuu rubbed the back of her neck. “I mean I wish I remembered it in more detail. But I remember feeling really good. And that makes me happy.”

Yuu was happy about it? That’s good right? Or does it further complicate things?

Yuu furrowed her brow. “You two felt good too, right? I hope I wasn’t the only one.”

“Y-Yes.” Oh gods, did it feel good.

“Setsuna-chan?”

The raven-haired girl nodded weakly.

“But honestly, who would have thought Ayumu would be the one to make the first move.”

“Y-Y-Yuu-chan?” Ayumu sputtered, feeling heat explode across her cheeks. Yuu was right, of course, but did she really need to say it out loud?

“And all this time I’d been holding back because I thought you weren’t ready.”

What.

“You were holding back?” Ayumu’s mind reeled at the implications.

“Well, yeah, I mean that kind of stuff is normal, right? Of course I’d want to do that with the ones I love.”

Setsuna’s head snapped up, causing her to wince, but she gritted her teeth through whatever her hangover had just dealt her before opening her eyes again to stare at Yuu.

“Love?” Ayumu ended up being the one to put a voice to what she assumed to be the shared thought of both Setsuna and herself.

“Of course, love.” Yuu’s expression seemed one of either confusion or annoyance, though perhaps a mix of both. “I love you two. I… thought that much was obvious?”

Oh… Oh no… No. No, that’s not fair!

“Ayumu? What’s wrong?”

Of course, now she decides to be perceptive.

Ayumu swallowed hard.

“I’m… sorry…”

Yuu blinked. “Sorry? What are you apologizing for, Ayumu? Because you started…”

“No! The truth is…”

“The truth is…?”

Oh gods, why did it have to be so hard to say? Would it have been easier to say it last night? Before they did… that?

“I’m… planning to move out.”

“What?!” Yuu practically shouted, pushing herself up to stand on her knees, before realizing it was a bad idea. Her face contorted and she fell back down to sit on her feet, but she leaned forward again anyway to continue. “Moving? Ayumu? Why? I thought you liked it here?”

“I do, but…” Say it. Just say it and get it over with. “I’ve decided that you and Setsuna-chan need your space to be a happy couple. I’m just getting in your way.”

Yuu moved her mouth but no sound came out as she stared.

“You’re not in the way, Ayumu-san.”

Both Yuu and Ayumu turned their attention to the girl huddled in the corner who looked to be on the verge of tears.

“You’re not in the way.” Setsuna repeated. “Even someone like me can tell that the two of you have pretty much been a couple since longer than I’ve known you. If anyone is in the way…” she took an uneasy breath “it’s me…”

“Setsuna-chan…” Yuu whined, collapsing back against the side of the bed. Her shoulders slumped with the weight of what her two friends had just revealed.

“I saw it right away, when I first met you.” Setsuna continued. “I saw it, and yet… I still fell for you. Both of you.” She tightened her arms around her legs. “While I was hiding my love of idols and anime from my parents, you two gave me a safe haven to truly be myself. And even when I could be more open at home, I realized how much more fun it was to share my hobbies with friends in person than with faceless avatars on random forums. And somewhere, amid all the time we spent together, I realized I couldn’t get enough, because I had fallen for you. But you two were already together.”

Setsuna paused as though still choosing the best words. “You know, I tried to walk away several times.” She made eye contact with Ayumu. “But you two just kept pulling me back in. And I kept letting you. And now… I guess I just wanted to hope that maybe my triangle would be different.” Her gaze fell back to the floor. “I’m sorry, I should just…” She let go of her knees and seemed to get ready to stand up.

“Wait.” Yuu stated. “Both of you, wait. Please.”

The other two girls turned toward her.

“I think…” She shook her head. “No, I know, I owe the two of you an apology.” She looked back and forth between them a couple times to make sure she had their full attention. “All this time, I’ve been thinking everything was great between us, that we were all happy together. I mean, I thought the main reason we got these dorm rooms, despite them being an extra station away from where we all need to go every day, was so we could live next door to each other and make seeing each other all the time that much easier.

“But I had no idea that either of you felt this way. I didn’t see it at all. So, I’m sorry. I really am. And I don’t care if it sounds selfish, but I don’t want either of you to go. I can tell you right now, losing either of you will not make me happier… Wait, now I’m confused. And maybe it’s just the hangover, but… You both wanted to leave because you loved me and wanted me to be happy with the other… Do you two not love each other?”

“What?” Setsuna seemed taken aback and pushed herself up onto her hands and knees to crawl a meter toward the others. “It’s because I also love Ayumu-san that I wanted her to be happy with Yuu-san! And I didn’t want to get in the way of that.”

Ayumu stared at Setsuna. The same. They really did feel the same. Why hadn’t she noticed it sooner?

“So…” Yuu scratched her head. “Ayumu, you love Setsuna-chan and me.” She pointed at her childhood friend but didn’t wait for an answer before moving on. “Setsuna-chan, you love Ayumu and me. And I love the both of you. We don’t want Ayumu to leave. We don’t want Setsuna to leave… What about if I left?”

“No!” Ayumu and Setsuna said in unison.

Yuu grinned. “Then I guess the only solution is for us all to stay together.”

Was it really that simple? “Can we really do that?” Ayumu couldn’t help asking.

“Why not?” Yuu asked in return. “We’ve pretty much been doing it already up until now; we’re always together, we go on dates constantly, we share cooking responsibilities, we stay over in each other’s rooms. Heck the only things we didn’t do we just did last night. Sure, we just uncovered a snag where you two each thought you needed to leave for the sake of the other two, but now that we’re all on the same page and know that the other two both want us to stay, we should be good, right?”

“It won’t be easy…” Setsuna said quietly.

“Relationships aren’t supposed to be easy.” Yuu countered. “They’re about working together for the common goal of being happy together. Sometimes it feels easy because the rewards are just that great, but other times you have to slog through and remember that the effort is worth it.”

Ayumu blinked. As romantically dense as Yuu often was, it was not completely uncommon for her to catch Ayumu off guard with some poignant bit of insight.

“And I believe you two are worth all the effort I can give.” Yuu flashed a smile. It was the smile Ayumu had loved since childhood, naturally confident and casually reassuring, and it never failed to make her heartrate spike for a moment or two.

As the other two remained quiet, Yuu decided to continue. “And you know, triangles are the strongest shape. That’s why they’re used so often in construction. Graphene is the strongest substance we know because of the triple bonds formed among the carbon atoms. Triangles are also the most stable shape. That’s why they’re used for tripods for cameras and stuff. And…”

Setsuna had started giggling about halfway through Yuu’s geeky rant, but now held up a hand. “Alright, alright, we get it.”

“But I’m serious.” Yuu insisted. “Just think about it, how much we behave like a triangle, how the sides are always supporting each other. Setsuna-chan, your passion keeps Ayumu and I motivated to do our best. And Ayumu, your reliability helps keep Setsuna-chan and I grounded so we don’t lose ourselves to our hobbies.”

“And Yuu-san’s support helps Ayumu-san and I keep our confidence throughout the day.” Setsuna concluded.

“Yeah, something like that.” Yuu nodded.

“Wait…” Ayumu spoke up. “Why do I get the negative one?”

“Negative?” Yuu tilted her head to the side questioningly.

“You two are positives with passion and support, but it sounds like I’m somehow keeping you from having fun?”

“That’s not what I meant at all, Ayumu.” Yuu shook her head. “By reliable and grounded, I meant that you’re kinda like a guide or a navigator or… Oh, I know, it’s like we’re a boat out on the ocean. Setsuna-chan is the engine or propeller that drives us forward and you’re the steering wheel or rudder that keeps us on an even keel. Can’t get to your destination all that well if you’re just drifting aimlessly without power or navigation. I know I’d still be drifting aimlessly through general studies if you two hadn’t been around to help power and navigate my journey through my music course.”

Ayumu smiled as the newer analogy resonated with her. However, “You left yourself out again, Yuu-chan.”

“I did? Oh… uhm, I’m… hrm…”

“Yuu-san is the hull that keeps us afloat.” Setsuna offered.

“The hull?” Yuu scrunched her nose.

“You’re definitely our hull, Yuu-chan.” Ayumu agreed.

“Alright, I suppose maybe I am the hull.” Yuu conceded with a sigh. “Although,” her gaze landed on Ayumu for a moment before settling on Setsuna “I don’t think I’m quite as buoyant as either of you.”

What did she mean by… Ayumu realized where Yuu was looking. “Yuu-chan!” She scolded, feeling herself blush.

Yuu burst out laughing. However, the bout only lasted a moment before setting off lingering hangover effects.

“Setsuna-chan, you should finish buttoning up.” Ayumu said, moving toward the other girl.

“Huh?” Setsuna looked down to find that in her haste to get dressed earlier, she had only secured two buttons on her shirt. Thus, from her position on her hands and knees, she had apparently been providing Yuu with a rather voluptuous view. “Eeeehhh?” She rocked back to sit on her legs and began fumbling with the fasteners.

“Here, let me get that.” Ayumu offered, reaching over the secure the buttons with a dexterity unhindered by a hangover. However, despite the action having begun in good faith, Ayumu found it difficult to resist stealing her own glimpse. Well… maybe if she wasn’t as blatant as Yuu…

“T-Thank you, Ayumu-san.”

“Sorry, Setsuna-chan.” Yuu offered. “I didn’t mean to embarrass you that much.”

“It’s fine…” Setsuna decided after a moment. “It’s not like you didn’t already see it all last night…”

“We’ve also visited hot springs together like a dozen or so times.” Yuu pointed out. “Anyway, still have any doubts, Ayumu?”

Did she still have doubts? She knew Yuu was right when she said that relationships were not easy, and whatever difficulties two might have, three would have to face that much more. But also, as Yuu had said, she was willing to do that work. And there was no doubt in her mind that Yuu and Setsuna would put forth the same effort. Because they all wanted the same thing, to be happy together.

Ayumu shook her head. “No. I’m just… really happy right now.”

“Good. And I’m happy as…” Yuu was interrupted by a yawn. “Ughn… either of you two remember what time we went to sleep last night? It feels like we woke up too early or something.” She yawned again. “Well, good thing it’s the weekend so I can take a nap.” She turned and started climbing onto Ayumu’s bed. “Either of you want to join me?”

“Do you think another hour will help with my headache?” Setsuna asked, crawling toward the bed.

“It should.” Ayumu replied, following the others. “Huh? Yuu-chan?” She found herself blocked from taking her former position as Yuu had already made it to the wall side of the bed.

With only a smile and a gentle touch on the arm, Yuu guided Ayumu down between herself and Setsuna. Oh, so sleeping arrangements were going to rotate like when they watched anime and idol videos together. She dismissed a thought that such a thing may not be best for one’s sleep cycle as she decided the three of them could discuss it if it became an issue, or they may just figure it out intuitively, like they did with their anime viewing.

Emerald eyes entered her field of vision. “I love you, Ayumu.” Yuu said quietly before pressing her lips gently against hers. Then as quickly as she appeared, she retreated.

Her mind barely had time to register the event before eyes of cendrée appeared. “I love you too, Ayumu-san.” Setsuna said in a similar volume before also pressing her lips to hers.

Ayumu stared upward in a surprisingly satisfying stupor as the other two exchanged affections above her. No flare of jealousy or laments of being left out disturbed her as she watched contently. She basked in the warmth as Yuu and Setsuna settled down on either side of her, taking her arms into theirs. She was happy. Very happy. And she realized she should probably tell them that.

“I love you two, Yuu-chan, Setsuna-chan.” Ayumu murmured.

Two pairs of eyes snapped open to stare at her. Was it really that surprising? Oh… wait… was that the first time she had said that to them? Certainly, it wasn’t the first time she had thought it, but… oh dear… Perhaps she should apolo…

Two smiles creased two sets of lips. Likely since they had already given voice to their feelings, the other two remained quiet. Setsuna tightened her embrace for a moment before nuzzling into Ayumu’s shoulder. For her part, Yuu shifted her hold so she could slide her hand down into Ayumu’s and intertwined their fingers.

No. No apology was necessary. They knew. And they accepted and loved Ayumu for who she was, even if this was the first time she had said as such in return for all the times they had told her.

Ayumu closed her eyes, took a deep breath and released it slowly. There would be plenty of time for her to give more voice to her feelings later. For now, it was time to relax and enjoy a peaceful slumber, snuggled between the two girls she loved.

This triangle would definitely be different.

haikyuu matchups: i'm an enfp. i stand at four foot eight. i'm lowkey (read: highkey) insecure about it. i aspire to be a preschool teacher at this moment in time. i'm into guys but i will run away from them because i find men scary. i'm awkward around strangers but loud around friends. i'm clingy with my loved ones. i talk to myself a lot. i like to stay at home. i love watching documentaries especially ones about nature or historic events like world war two. i’m a sucker for romantic comedies.

aaa this was really fun to do!! i had a bit of trouble picking between five guys, but i got there in the end

that being said, i match you with…

hinata shouyou!!

✧ okay first of all, hinata loves that you’re shorter than him. he’s not going to poke at your insecurities or anything like that; he’s just happy that he can comfortably sling an arm around your shoulders or press a kiss to your forehead easily.

✧ hinata’s so friendly and talkative that even the most awkward of people have an easy time getting along with him. hell, he probably wouldn’t even notice that you were awkward at first; as with (almost) everyone, his immediate opinion of you is overwhelmingly positive.

✧ honestly?? hinata doesn’t even notice that you’re scared of him. it’s a running trend with him and shy people; and it works, every time. you can’t really run away from him because he’s just going to chase after you in a panic, trying to work out what’s wrong

✧ but finding out that you’re actually loud?? it makes him unreasonably happy. hinata needs to be with someone who can match his energy, and i get the feeling you fit the bill (esp. since hinata’s an exfp himself). being able to match his energy means you’ll probably have an easier time handling it, too.

✧ while he’s not the most intellectual person, hinata strikes me as pretty open-minded, and therefore it’d be quite easy to rope him into watching documentaries with you. he’s pretty easily impressed, too. you know those wwii documentaries that are in full colour?? that sort of stuff blows his mind

✧ i also see him as the type to get super invested in media, regardless of what it is. so, whenever you crack out a romantic comedy, you can bet hinata’s probably shed some tears by the end. and he unironically tries to replicate scenes and gestures from them, to varying levels of success. it’s cheesy, and yet, sweet in its earnestness

✧ you may have a hard time keeping him at home, though; he’s always out doing something (though, let’s be honest – it’s usually volleyball practice). but, when he finally does get home, you’ll have his undivided attention.

✧ idk why exactly, but i feel like hinata would be really good with kids?? he’s got a temperament that’d mess well with them imo, especially those of preschool age. so, he’s really supportive of your goals; and he’s very popular with the kids when he comes to pick you up from work after the day’s over

✧ he loves seeing how well you get along with his little sister!! he loves getting you to help babysit with him, and you’re always finding fun things to do together. of course, in hinata’s mind, a lot of that centers around volleyball; but, a solid team-up of you and natsu can probably convince him to stay home for a movie marathon (natsu also has a fondness for romantic comedies) or even a games night (which end up just as disastrous as you’d expect)

✧ you two would just be so cute and wholesome?? i ended up liking this match more and more as i wrote it, if that says anything,,, but yeah, please love my good sunshine son, because he’d absolutely adore you!!

other possible matches

✧ nishinoya yuu: i’d pick him for pretty similar reasons to hinata, tbh. you’d match his energy pretty well once you’d gotten to know each other, and similarly to hinata, he wouldn’t really process that he’d frightened you in the first place (which i think can just,,, help facilitate a friendship?? but literally only hinata and noya could pull it off). i think noya would love having a clingy partner, because it’d just make him feel really good about himself; like “yeah!! they’re with ME and they love ME and they wanna spend time with ME.” noya’s probably going to tease you for talking to yourself, just because he can be so,,, blunt. but, it’s all well-meaning.

✧ bokuto koutarou: okay, as much as i love the concept of this couple, bokuto may have a hard time getting to know you. because, let’s be honest, he’s such a chaotic force of nature that would be terrifying to have charging at you. that aside, i think you and bokuto would get along really well once you’d gotten to know each other; you’re both loud, and he also strikes me as quite clingy (and like noya, i think having a clingy partner would really boost his ego hhh). and your aspirations to become a preschool teacher means that you’d be able to handle his antics (i’m mostly joking). oh, but bokuto?? also great with kids. thinking about it makes me emotional–

#you sound so cute!!#thank you for your request <3 #rowan plays matchmaker

BECAUSE I’M NOT POPULAR, I’LL READ WATAMOTE: CHAPTER #141

The first half of Golden Week is over, and Tomoko has found herself the object of “platonic" affection for four different suitors. And as our intrepid heroine muses over the which of them to pursue, out of nowhere comes the dark horse. Once thought to be missing in action, this little girl, having been there since the very beginning, threatens to overtake the competition in one psychotic swoop.

Chapter 141: Because I’m Not Popular, I’ll Go to School with Kii-chan

The things that Stuffed Yuu-chan and Pals have seen...

Ah, the classic Introvert Burnout. I had a feeling Tomoko would be drained after having what may have been the most socially stressful time of her life. Not simply for being social, but for how much she had to navigate as a fish out of water. Each “date” involved a new experience for Tomoko to address, and that much effort at once can be really exhausting for a layabout like her.

That my friend is what we in the TvTropes community call, “Tempting Fate”.

Heeeeeere’s Kii-chan!

Can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this entrance. We all know who Kii-chan is. But even those outside of the loop would get a feel for who she is. Adorable and sweet-natured, but disturbing due to an apparent lack of negative emotions (even when appropriate). Ah, Kii-chan, it’s been far too long.

Nothing to say here, really. Just think it’s a particularly lovely picture of Tomoko.

Because the popularity of a manga series is largely dependent on real-time reception, it’s very common for mangakas to add new, “popular” characters, or give the spotlight to characters who’ve been out of focus. Watamote is no exception. It may seem contrived to bring Kii-chan back after being gone for a while, but it works here because it relies on Kii-chan’s character to it, instead of a series of implausible plot developments. Kii-chan is just considerate of her cousin’s schedule–that’s all we need.

The first hint of Tomoko’s reawakening as the role model onee-chan.

One of the perks of being a sporadically-appearing character is that you can really see just much the art style has evolved since the character’s last appearance. For Kii-chan, she hasn’t really changed much design-wise other than being a little taller. But even then, the linework is much cleaner and consistent this time around, which compliments the more “everyday slice-of-life” approach Watamote’s been embracing.

If only she could grow a nose.

The best thing about this type of censorship is that you don’t necessarily have to understand what's being censored. All you really need is a bit of context to put the pieces together. The outlines are detailed enough that we can see the characters as some kind of humanoids with animal features. And given what we know about Kii-chan, it makes perfect sense.

Y-Yeah, I...I’ve totally heard of that show.

Other than the whole Ucchi situation (which is slowly becoming an unintentional blessing), this is the last of the misunderstandings that still needs resolving. It’ll be hard, though, since this particular issue isn’t that troublesome. For now...

Look at that platonic sibling bonding.

Perhaps I’ve been conditioned by manga/anime, but I find it refreshing how Watamote has managed to develop the Kuroki siblings’ relationship while avoiding any incestual subtext. Lots of series oversell the sibling relationship by having them be overly affectionate and clingy. With Watamote, their bond feels organic because they don’t have to be touchy-feely. An unspoken quality time is all there is to it.

It’s hard to get a read on Tomoko’s emotions here, but at the very least, she seems troubled. It could very well be that Tomoko just realized that she’s changing in regards to the media she consumes. The former her would’ve probably jumped on the Kemono Friends bandwagon, but the reality is, Tomoko’s otaku interests are being compromised by the mainstream, at least as mainstream as rap battles get.

But the kicker is...she realizes this change isn’t all that bad.

Of course, nothing beats watching anime with your psychotic cousin.

The whole “pet-sitting” relationship they have here is a tricky one since each side is trying to accommodate the other based on “flaws” that don’t exist (or no longer exist). This usually results in an endless cycle of misunderstandings that lead to nowhere, but this confusion has transcended that cycle to develop into a progression of sorts. Similar to the Ucchi situation, the absurdity became so frequent that it just became reality. One that each side has been influenced greatly from.

With her constantly adorable face, you forget that Kii-chan is a middle-schooler and is therefore old enough to know about things like sex and perversion. Like Yuu-chan, she may look innocent, and while she was aware of such things as a kid, she didn’t really get it until they approached high-school age.

You know, I read this really good manga called Kaguya-sama: Love is War (shameless plug, I know), and they actually had a chapter about a rap battle a while back. Given that both series tend to be up-to-date on contemporary trends, it makes me wonder...has rap suddenly become a hot thing in Japan? Or has it always had its niche audience?

I’m sure many fans knew that this was going to be an inevitable development whenever Kii-chan showed up again. Unlike Tomoko’s school friends, Kii-chan wasn’t there to see the slow, gradual growth of Tomoko’s character, so it must have hit her like a ton of bricks to see her precious onee-chan go from helpless loner to mature teen in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes I wonder just how pitiful Kii-chan thought Tomoko really was...

Why would you censor Disneyland now of all times?

Those of us who were clamoring to get close-ups of the photos taken in the Disneyland arc finally get their wish.

The Kowarith photo is my favorite, even though two-thirds of the people in it are faking their asses off. While that may be my personal bias towards the Tomoko-Yoshida-Yuri trio, I think it reflects a better sense of kinship between the girls. The effort is there, phony as it is, to support each other in an awkward situation, which is fundamentally what the series is all about.

The assumedly Fireworks photo is also pleasing, make no mistake. You can definitely feel more genuine emotions (or lack thereof) being expressed than in the other photo. But this focuses more on the individual than how they work as a collective group, despite there being more people. The girls ultimately look like six different colored Skittles–part of the same package, but each unique.

Could this be the start of Kii-chan revitalizing her perception of Tomoko as a super popular girl? I sure hope so.

How ironic. Kii-chan’s perspective of Tomoko is starting to grow ever so gradually on the upside, whereas Tomoko’s perspective of Kii-chan grows more and more negative.

Hang on, is that supposed to be some fake Dragonite shirt? Neat.

At this point, people assuming that Yoshida as some kind of punk based on her looks is a dead horse of an issue. Some stereotypes exist for a reason, I suppose.

I see your game, Nico Tanigawa, using a deliberately vague line about “two girls” to make your readers overanalyze a single panel. All I have to say to that is that I am completely and utterly guilty.

One of the girls is probably Yuri, if only because she’s the only girl to appear in both photos. As for the second girl, your guess is as good as mine. I’m inclined to say Ucchi because if Kii-chan only has their appearances to go on, then Ucchi and her emoji-face make quite the impression.

I’m getting Yuu-chan vibes here with the way Kii-chan phrases half-insults with a friendly demeanor.

+ 1 TO THE HAREM.

Kii-chan is definitely that relative you leave a self-imposed boundary on. Fine in small doses, like at parties and family gatherings, but long-term exposure is unhealthy for the brain. This isn’t even a wholly exaggerated fantasy on Tomoko’s part. Okay, the eating bit is a little much, but given that Kii-chan allegedly dreams about treating Tomoko like a pet, the latter is right to be a little concerned.

There needs to be an AU one-shot of Tomoko, Tomoki, and Kii all going to the same school at the same time. Right. Now.

I do appreciate that despite Kii-chan’s deteriorating sanity, Tomoko doesn’t view her as a lost cause and even tries to put a positive spin on it. Reconciliation Arc is a-go!

Did Kii-chan really have that big of a growth spurt, or has Tomoko just reached her peak in height? Not sure how far the genetics will go, but Kii-chan becoming taller than Tomoko is only going to make her even more intimidating.

This little scheme of hers is definitely reflective of the “old” Tomoko, but there’s a nice reversal going on here. Instead of Tomoko trying to make things sound cooler than they actually are, she’s trying to make things seem worse. Of course, Murphy’s Tomoko’s Law states that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Especially if Tomoko wants it to go right.

Ah, Ogino. The only character whose relationship with Tomoko has remained relatively unchanged despite indirectly having the most impact on Tomoko’s life.

Better update her Wiki page now.

It’s pretty telling how it’s these two who cause Tomoko the most grief. It’s not the delinquent who routinely bashes her face in, not the pervert(s) lusting after her little brother, and not the otaku who passive-aggressively teases her. As for why, I think it boils down to the fact that Ogino and Kii-chan challenge her comfort zone the most. It also doesn’t help that Tomoko doesn’t interact with them as often as the others, so she hasn’t really had the time to get desensitized by them.

This freakin’ teacher, man.

The second worst part of Ogino’s “help” is that she never actually lies. Sure, she exaggerates to hell and back, but it’s always loosely based in reality, like some cheap movie adaptation of a best-selling novel.

But the worst part of it is...you can’t hate Ogino for it. Her personal assessment may be founded on largely suspect reasons, but it’s still an honest assessment. I have no doubts that Ogino really is proud of Tomoko, and that’s exactly why she’s the best worst teacher.

That’s true. If Ogino gave that spiel to people like Hijirisawa or Hatsushiba–y’know, people who don’t know her as well–they might actually buy that crap. But people who know Tomoko like Yuri or Nemo, people like us, can tell that Ogino’s sugarcoating the whole thing. Kii-chan, with her terrifying skill for knowing too much, is no exception.

Ah, I see. This is one of those put-all-the-secondary-characters-who-we-haven’t-seen-in-a-while-into-one-chapter chapters.

Can’t complain, though. I like Itou.

“Or something” can also be translated as “lust after Tomoki”.

We don’t really have much to go on for how Itou views Tomoko, but I think it’s reasonable to think that she may not see her in that good of a light. Not only did Tomoko give off a weird impression when she played off the whole fist bump thing, but Itou’s “powers of perception” probably made her aware of Tomoko and Komiyama’s frenemy-ship, hence her “warning” that Komiyama was around.

The Inherent Awkwardness of Second-hand Relationships: The Life of Tomoko.

Betcha’ no one saw this interaction coming. Whether it’ll lead to anything more remains to be seen. Itou’s still got the whole “friendship potential” going on with Futaki, but given that she has the tolerance to BFF Komiyama, I see no reason why she can’t befriend a psycho like Kii-chan.

That desire to “loudly blow” is Kii-chan’s inner demons screeching out in desperation for release. I pity the fool who unleashes the beast.

That does sound like your typical amateur definition of a psychopath, doesn’t it?

For the record, I don’t actually believe Kii-chan is a psychopath, despite the jokes I made. There are way too many moments that discredit such a claim. Now, if you were to accuse Kii-chan as being some sort of deviant (sexual or otherwise) I might see that. But ultimately, I think Kii-chan was just a victim of having her innocence shattered too fast and too soon, which made her more, uh, crafty than Tomoko could handle.

Man, it’s been a long time while since we last saw Dicky-chan, hasn’t it? Hope we get to see more of her (and Sayaka, for that matter) after this chapter.

I love how even when she’s collecting masturbation material, Komiyama has to hold her camera phone all lady-like. If the term “purevert” ever needed a concrete definition, this girl would be it.

Main Character privileges, that’s why.

Get. The. FUCK. Out. Of. Here.

With each subsequent appearance, Komiyama’s standard for what constitutes a bitch primed to steal away her Tomoki-kun falls hilariously lower. It’s not enough that a girl in their class makes two seconds of eye contact with him, nosiree. Any girl with an inkling of a relationship with Tomoko is not immune, even if it’s his own damn cousin. Granted, I don’t think Komiyama would be so pathetically scummy as to confront Kii-chan about it like she did to Yoshida.

...I hope.

“Best friends” may be stretching it now that we’ve gotten this far in the series. However, there is one aspect of Tomoko and Komiyama’s relationship that triumphs over all the others:

Absolute candidness. Even now, the only one who gets to see the complete, raw package that is Tomoko Kuroki is Komi-something. While Tomoko has made substantial friendships with the likes of Yuri, Nemo, and Katou, Tomoko still restrains herself just a tad lest she pushes them away. It’s only with Komi that Tomoko bears her full ugliness, which I think has developed into some freakish level of respect/understanding that none of the others can claim.

Damn, even the bishounen dude gets to make an appearance. All we need know is Lethal Chef Girl to make a cameo and I’m set.

Nope. Any game is an away game when your “harem” shows up to cheer you on.

A few people have expressed discontent with how the chapter seems to end so abruptly, and it’s a fair criticism. It may be the lack of a “Next time...” tagline throwing people off, but while this chapter indeed ends at an odd point, it’s not that unprecedented. Some of the previous chapters ended this way, like that time Komi was all “Oi!” at Yoshida at the cafeteria, which indicates that this chapter is likely one of those series-of-vignettes that also doubles as a build-up chapter.

On a positive note, while the chapter does feel prematurely ended, how the next chapter plays out if it is connected to this one is sure to be a surprise.

Klance and Yulma Parallels, and Why If Yulma Happened, Klance Will Too!

Klance = Keith X Lance from the not-yet-canon couple Voltron: Legendary Defender

Yulma = Yuu Kanda X Alma Karma , the canon couple from D.Gray-man

Full analysis and comparison under read more; TLDR is in bold somewhere near the bottom, also under read more.

Let’s jump straight (or not so straight, given the content lol) into it! Parallels between Keith and Kanda are first, then Lance and Alma, and finally the relationship in general! Because if Yulma can happen, so can Klance!!!!

Keith and Kanda Parallels

Both

Are the hot headed swordsmen of the group (Look below to see Keith holding his blade to the Olkari leader’s neck and Kanda doing the same for Timothy)

Are loners

Go off alone to protect those they love (Kanda chasing the group off, Keith just leaving)

Overall just try to do things alone

Are arguably the strongest in the group besides the “mentor” or “adult” figures

Have shown no real interest in any females, and no obvious interest in anyone despite the other main characters doing so

On Voltron’s side

Hunk likes Shay

Allura had Lotor

Matt and Lance both found Allura attractive

Shiro had Adam

Pidge likes technology

On DGM’s side..

it ‘s been mentioned that many, many people are attracted to Lenalee, and implied both Lavi and Allen are

It’s implied that Lenalee has a crush on Allen

Despite all this, Kanda was always suspiciously absent from the talks about romance in the manga’s “discussion” rooms, in which the characters answered the fans questions about themselves. With the exception of one where I think it was mentioned he would probably like a “dignified” person???? Regardless, when asked about Lenalee Lavi and Allen were both there and implied that at the very least they thought she was attractive (because of course guys like girls in miniskirts), while Kanda...was not.

Funnily enough, Keith’s endgame is almost never mentioned.....and questions about who he likes/if he likes anyone are avoided. Same as Kanda’s were

Couldn’t recognize their crushes at first (Kanda not realizing it’s Alma, Keith asking who Lance is) but probably still knew somewhere deep down anyway.

Are honestly a little bad with other people’s emotions

Parallels between Alma and Lance

The happy face to Kanda/Keith’s frowny faces

Love to tease Keith and Kanda

The ones who bring the most smiles to Keith/Kanda’s faces

Are usually super friendly

Very caring about other people

The only ones to have made Kanda/Keith respectively laugh when alcohol was not involved

Along the same lines, they both have a bubbly and easily excitable personality

Despite being the more friendly and generally people persons, both can be scarily serious

Are often seen as slightly air headed due to their excitable nature, but can be pretty observant when need be

See Lance noticing that wasn’t Rover and saving Coran

And Alma figuring out he can use the canal to escape with Kanda

Parallels between the relationships

Use ‘we” a lot in terms of fixing each other’s problems

Lance’s “We’ll fix this” when Keith admits he made a mistake in pushing the team too far is one example for Voltron

Kanda

Have a bit of a rivalry at first

Both have gotten into a few fights (verbal for Voltron, not so verbal for D.Gray-man)

Gotta love how Alma and Lance are on the same side of the screen and Keith and Kanda are. Just goes to show how similar they are I guess :) lol

But become friends pretty quickly in their respective story lines

Alma and Kanda only a few chapters into the flashback arc

Keith and Lance were working together pretty quickly and almost definitely considered each other friends (though I doubt Lance would have admitted it that early) around halfway through the first season

So if they went from rivals to friends quickly....and Kanda and Alma got together because that was the natural development of their relationship, surely the natural development of Keith and Lance is romance as well! I mean heck, it was even stated by the producers that the natural progression of Keith and Lance’s relationship is romance!!! And if you look at Kanda and Alma’s, you can see it! :)

Okay yeah I know a lot of this is a stretch...really it all came about because I noticed the similarities in personality between Keith and Kanda(actually this was part of the reason one of my friends decided Keith was her favorite immediately, despite not generally having those character types as favorites), and realized their relationships had a few similarities as well. And honestly, if Kanda and Alma getting together can happen in a Shonen manga like D.Gray-man, then Keith and Lance can get together! Also I really, really want a scene with him like the one I describe and show below.

TLDR: The two ships are pretty similar which means if Yulma happened, Klance defiantly has a chance.

Also, after Keith admits to liking Lance/after they get together, I want a scene like this super adorable one below from D.Gray-man where he blushes around another guy because even being reminded of Lance makes him swoon lol. I mean look at that blush!!! So cute from the hothead. I mean obviously I want him to blush around Lance too, but blushing around anyone who reminds him of Lance because he likes Lance THAT much is a cute thought to me. I guess it just shows how much he cares.

PS: Honestly, with how many people beg for representation in media, I’m kinda surprised D.Gray-man isn’t talked about more often. Because honestly the inclusion of Yulma is pretty much all of the rep you guys beg for wrapped up in a neat and beautiful relationship. Alma is basically trans (was a girl, had their brain implanted into a male body), and Kanda and Alma were in a relationship before the body swaps, and it changed nothing about their love. Kanda wasn’t even phased when he realized, and just accepted Alma for who (s)he was. There was no “no way” or “it can’t be”. He just fully accepted them as they were and it’s absolutely beautiful. Also, it’s in a Shonen manga. C’mon, when does that ever happen in a Shonen series? Though if you’re gonna hate, don’t bother reading it please.

#klance #vld #voltron #voltron legendary defender #dgm #d. gray-man #laith #thunderpike #yulma #yuulma #d.gray-man #kanda yuu #yu kanda #keith kogane #lance mcclain #alma karma #yuu kanda

'why are we whispering?' - ritzie, hunk :3

For the record, I made a very pleased screeching noise when I saw this. Thank you.

Sometimes, having friends is… confusing.

Up until recently, Hunk can say with fair certainty the only friend he’s ever had is Lance (excusing, perhaps, the children he’d played with in the bush and the beach as a toddler back before he and his grandmother had moved to Veradera, but he barely remembers their faces, let alone their names).

Regardless, having extended company with anyone who isn’t Lance, or related to himself or Lance, is new, and Hunk will readily acknowledge it’s something of an adjustment.

…And that, of course, doesn’t account for the fact that Ritzie and Yuu are an experience unto themselves beyond what to expect from most people.

Particularly Ritzie.

She’s more Lance’s friend, honestly, and just Hunk’s by association. It’s not that they don’t get along— He likes Ritzie well enough, she’s very friendly and including, but she’s… a lot, and he has trouble keeping up with her energy and jumps in logic even half as well as Lance does, hence why he generally prefers Yuu’s company.

But… Sometimes Lance and Yuu aren’t around, and Hunk finds himself in some rather interesting situations.

“Hunk.” Ritzie’s voice hisses from the back doorway to their dorm floor, head peeking around the corner and staring suspiciously down the hallway, eyes darting in a way that guarantees she’s up to something questionable that would probably result in suspension or the like if she was anyone else.

The sensible thing to do here would to be to walk away, maybe text Yuu or Lance and leave them to deal with whatever this is once they get out of class.

So, naturally, Hunk goes over instead.

“What is it?” He asks, and Ritzie shushes him rather loudly.

“Quiet!” She murmurs, lips curling up in a teasing, conspiratorial grin.

Hunk blinks. “Why are we whispering?” He responds, pointedly dropping his already quiet tone down a few more decibels. Ritzie’s grin only grows wider, and he feels his stomach sink. “What have you done?”

Proudly, Ritzie casts one last glance along the corridor, and then throws open the door, revealing the back stairwell that’s only supposed to be used for emergencies and cleaning staff (and students sneaking out), and…

“Are those lizards?” Hunk screeches as near silently as he can manage, staring down at the rather large glass tank containing several pairs of reptilian eyes blinking up at him.

“Yes.” Ritzie turns, gesturing to the tank with a look of utter seriousness. “Help me get them to my room, the cage is frigging heavy.”

“Why do you have lizards?” Hunk tries instead, already automatically reaching down to grab the one end of the tank as Ritzie does the same to the other, sticking one leg out to keep the door propped open. They lift it, staggering under the weight even between the two of them, and Hunk spares a brief questioning thought as to how the hell Ritzie got this up the stairs herself, before she’s urging him forward and he’s shouldering past the door, the two of them stumbling into the hallway with the lizard cage.

“Technically they’re leopard geckos.” Ritzie answers. “Not really lizards, per se. And I rescued them.”

“…Rescued them.” Hunk parrots in half-disbelief, walking his way backwards in the direction towards Ritzie’s room, scanning nervously for anyone else coming down the hallway, too afraid to contemplate the consequences of getting caught with unregistered animals in a student dorm room.

“Yep!” Ritzie pops the ‘p’ in the word cheerfully, shrugging a shoulder to nudge her pigtail backwards behind it without somehow wobbling the tank. “Jake Calhoun, y’know, the fucker in Adams Hall with the shitty undercut? He got them for Christmas and decided pretty quickly having pets was less interesting than having things to experiment on, heard him talking about it in class.” She stops, staring up at him with wide eyes, and not for the first time Hunk is uncomfortably aware of the fact that while he may be several inches taller than Ritzie, she still manages to make him feel small just from sheer personality size and her general aura of confidence. “There was a fourth one Hunk, you don’t want to know what happened to it.” She turns as they reach her room, bracing the tank against her hip with one hand and unlocking the door, shoving it open with a foot and guiding both Hunk and the tank in.

“So you broke into his dorm room and kidnapped his lizards.” Hunk mutters tiredly, already figuring out where the rest of this is going. He glances down skeptically as they guide the tank to the center of the room and set it down. Yuu is going to have an aneurism when he sees it, though Lance will no doubt be delighted.

“I prefer the term ‘liberated’”. Ritzie says happily, staring down at her newest acquisitions. “You want to help me name them?”

He should walk away. Should go back to his room and pretend this never happened, or do the responsible thing and call the school administration about this.

“…Yes.” He says instead, and tries not to be shyly pleased at the way Ritzie’s face lights up at his answer, much as he always is when Lance does the same.

Getting attached to two of them would be a very poor idea, after all.

#thank you I love...#Ritzie and Hunk are such Goods #ask memes #writing prompts #SLAOS talk #Spilling Like An Overflowing Sink (Voltron)#SLAOS Hunk #Ritzie Lamae #my ocs #my writing #I've still got like three more of these but they'll probs have to wait till morning tbh #Anonymous #asks #questions for Nik

Kagehina Soulmate AU- Matching Tattoos

Kageyama had that damned tattoo right under his left wrist ever since he could remember. One small orange sun greated him everytime he looked at his arm, which arguably wasn’t that much. He avoid as much as he could. He knew what it meant. He knew it was his “soulmate” represented in his skin. But he never believed in soulmates. How would he? He’s never known any successful soulmate relationship. His father left his mother a few years after he was born, he didn’t even remember how he was. All his aunts had failed marriages too. He didn’t have friend to see how their relationships went. He was the most asocial person ever. The thought of him having a soulmate was just… unthinkable.

“Tobio-chan!” His senpai singsonged in a distance. His relationship with Oikawa the closests thing to a friendship he considered having. “I see you haven’t met your soulmate yet.”

One sign that you had met your soulmate was that your tattoo became a scar in the same shape. Oikawa had the scar of godzilla the sizy of a small coin at the back of his neck. He was already pretty proud of it. He always said he’s never grow out his hair because of it, also it was the reason he rarely ever wore any piece of clothing that managed to cover that part of his neck.

Kageyama prepared himself mentally before answering. “Hi Oikawa-san. And you know damn well I haven’t.”

“Don’t mind, don’t mind.” He patted Kageyama in the back. “You’ll meet him soon, Tobio-chan. Either that or you don’t have a soulmate at all.” The boy laughed at his own comment but it hadn’t had any effect on Kageyama at all. “I’m just kidding, Tobio-chan. You have your tattoo, so there’s someone out there for you.”

“I don’t care.” He drank his milk. “Shouldn’t you be with Iwaizume-san? It’s your one year anniversary and I hate you. I only know that because you can’t shut up about it.”

“Iwa-chan was busy with his family this morning.” Oikawa ignored the insult. “We’ll meet tonight and I won’t bother you anymore. But for the rest of the day, I’m sticking with you, Tobio-chan.”

Great. Kageyama thought to himself. Why did Iwaizumi have to be busy now?

Regardless, he sighed. “What do you have in mind?”

“Let’s play volleyball.” Oikawa said as thought he’d just thought of it. “We haven’t done that in a while.”

Indeed, Kageyama hadn’t played volleyball since Kitagawa Daiichi. Since he became the King Of The Court.

“I don’t want to.” It physically hurt for him to spit out those words. But he never wanted to touch a volleyball again. The last time he played, none of his teammates were there for him. He never wanted to go through that again, even if it was just playing with Oikawa.

“You have to get over it, Tobio-chan.” Oikawa’s voice now was gentle, which was extremely rare. Except for when he was talking to Iwaizumi. But Kageyama wasn’t Iwaizumi. Why was Oikawa using his gentle voice? “It’s been two years already. Volleyball was your life, why did that change?”

“You know why.” Kageyama replied. “I think I’ll be heading home now.”

He started walking away from his senpai, making his way to his house. But Oikawa followed.

“I said I was sticking with you, Tobio-chan. Maybe you should get your ears checked.” Teasing Oikawa was back. “Okay, we don’t need to play volleyball but do you really want to go home right now?”

He didn’t. It was actually the last thing Kageyama wanted at that moment. “Fine, I’ll play.”

“That’s my houkai!” Oikawa muffled his hair. “There’s a playground near my house we can use, c'mon!”

While being oblivious to it in middle school, Kageyama wasn’t very liked by Oikawa. After a while he did started noticing it and he went to Iwaizumi. At the time they weren’t dating yet, but they had been friends since they were small children so Iwaizumi knew him pretty well. After that they started having a better relationship, one a bit more friendly. But Kageyama still didn’t consider him a friend. He didn’t even know what could be a considered a friend. Yet Kageyama went to the same high school he was because since he didn’t play volleyball anymore, he at least wanted to go to a school where he knew someone. Though, Oikawa would grade that year so after that he’d be alone for two years.

Oikawa dragged him his house first to get his volleyball and then to said playground near his house. Though when they got there, two boys had beaten them to it.

One was a small orange haired guy, roughly the same age as Kageyama. The other one was slightly shorter, had brown spiked hair with a few blonde hair strands, probably the same age too. They got there just in time to see the letter roll down on the floor and yell out.

“ROLLING THUNDER!” He grinned after he stood up. He’d also done all that receiving a volleyball from his friend.

The orange guy then proceeded to toss it to himself and spike it across the net in the playground. The boys high fived before noticing someone else was there. The taller one stared at Kageyama for solid 5 seconds before acknowledging Oikawa’s presence.

“Did you guys want to play here?” He asked. “You can play with us.”

Kageyama, in a tiny internal panic, looked at Oikawa, as if he said ‘what do I do now??’

“Oh but of course!” He picked up his phone from his jeans pocket. “Oh, sorry. I can’t stay. My mom’s calling me home, it’s an emergency. I gotta go. But Tobio-chan here can play.”

“W-What?!” Kageyama panicked. “No, I-I can’t play, I-I need to go home too, Oikawa-san.”

Oikawa leaned closer. “The hell you do. Now just go bond over volleyball. They seem like nice kids.” He started pushing Kageyama closer to the boys. “Go now.”

“B-But Oikawa-san!” He stuttered.

“No buts. You need to make some friends, now go.” He flapped his hands at him.

“Oikawa-san!!” Kageyama yelled after him as his senpai slowly faded in the distance.

“Soooo…” The spiked hair guy filled the awkward silence. “His name’s Oikawa?”

“Ha?” Kageyama asked, nervous. “Y-yes. I’m… K-Kageyama Tobio.”

“Hinata Shouyou.” The slightly taller one smiled widely. It was a beautiful smile, it lit up the whole place.

His friend spoke too. “Nishinoya Yuu. You play volleyball?”

“U-used to.” Kageyama replied still trembling.

“Man, used to?” Hinata asked. “Nothing could ever make me stop playing. What happened to you?”

Kageyama felt his heart race, he considered lying. Why would he tell complete strangers the real reason he stopped playing?

“Ah… Got a bad injury. Couldn’t play anymore.” He kept it as short as possible.

“Oh so is this alright?” Hinata questioned. “You playing with us, I mean. You won’t get hurt or anything?”

“Oh no…” Kageyama replied. “If I go easy, I’m good.”

"Nice!" Hinata and Nishinoya yelled out at the same time. Then they started.

While they played, they also talked to each other. Kageyama learned that Nishinoya and Hinata studied at the same school, Karasuno. Both were also on the volleyball team. Nishinoya played as a libero and Hinata as a wing spiker. Also, Nishinoya was a year older than both him and Hinata. But they seemed to be good friends. In exchange all Kageyama told them was that he studied at Aoja Johsai with Oikawa and that he used to play as a setter. He didn’t know what else to day.

They played for hours before Hinata and Nishinoya had to go home. Kageyama sat down on the ground and just pondered over what had happened there for solid 10 minutes.

The next day at school, Oikawa stopped Kageyama before he could leave the premises.

“You haven’t notice, have you,Tobio-chan?” He grinned.

“Noticed what?” Kageyama was confused. Why was his senpai grinning like that?

“Your tattoo.” He replied. “It scarred.”

“Ha?!” Kageyama look at his arm, something he had managed not to for the past week.

Oikawa was right. The orange sun was now a slighter paler ton of skin then his own. He had met his soulmate, but when and where?

“I actually have a soulmate.” He breathed.

“You sound a bit too hopeful for someone who doesn’t believe in soulmates, Tobio-chan.” Oikawa teased.

“When did this even happen?” Kageyama ignored his moment.

“Back at the playground when you locked eyes with Chibi-chan.” Oikawa said nonchalantly.

“How could you possibly know that?” He questioned his senpai. He didn’t see how he could know if Kageyama didn’t know it himself.

Oikawa grinned again, happily. He was enjoying this. “Because I saw your tattoo right then and that’s when it scarred.”

“And I should just believe that?” Kageyama raised an eyebrow.

Oikawa was known for liking to mess with people. Maybe this was just that.

“I think that by now you know me enough to believe that I’m telling the truth. I have no reason to lie to you, Tobio-chan.” His senpai replied. “Plus, I’m a sucker for romance. You’re meant to be with Chibi-chan.”

“Shut up!” Kageyama shouted, blushing violently.

“You’re adorable, Tobio-chan!” Oikawa chanted. “I call bestman at your wedding!”

“T-There won’t be a wedding!” He stammered while his cheeks still burned hot red.

“Whatever you say, Tobio-chan.” Oikawa sing-songed. “I’m going to Iwa-chan’s now. See you around.”

“Bye, Oikawa-san.” was all Kageyama managed to say as he watched his senpai waving and walking away.
