Rin feelings for Kagura and their bond as foster siblings
Rin and Kagura's foster sibling relationship may be rocky but its clear they both care about eachother. Siblings don't always get along. Sometimes being close to someone involves petty arguments and cruel remarks (like rin telling kagura her love is fake). A lot of siblings aren't exactly super close and loving, sometimes there's animosity, but still a sense of loyalty for those you're stuck with. Rin didn't get that from her own family, and she didnt choose kagura's, but kagura and her mother are loyal to her. That's what it's about at its core. But more importantly, a lot of subtlety was lost in the anime.
It's important to realize that most of the early stuff we saw of Rin was her at her worst. She was pushing everyone away. Haru, Hiro, kagura. She was trying to push them away to protect them while she risked her life to free Haru from the curse.
Takaya sensei has also said that Rin got into fashion partially as a result of living with Kagura (and that haru made her acessories lol). And speaking of fashion, we see Rin's sense of fashion change of her arc is resolved. She goes from wearing a lot of tight clothes. To wearing more loose fitting items. This change helps illustrate her personality softening and her no longer feeling the need the need to be held tightly. It shows her being more comfortable and relaxed
There were great moments that show Rin and Kagura's character development that were left out of the anime. Like how rin snapped at kagura for hitting tohru and how kagura apologized and comforted her with a hug. And then later when kagura is whining, she asks rin to comfort her, rin calls her annoying but her expression is softer, and she doesn't try to remove kagura from her shoulder. Sensei's (kyo's dad's) assistant even comments on how they've gotten much closer recently.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rin is just a hit of a tsundere. We see it in her interactions with tohru and haru as well. She gets embarrassed and gets a little obstinant about hiding her true feelings.
This is why moments like these are important and the anime butchering the finale season is such a tragedy. We get the core character arcs but we don't really get to see how the characters change. It's why the manga is a well written masterpiece and the anime falls short. Too many stories tell and don't show. Fruits basket shows how the characters change, even characters who didn't get much attention like Ritsu.
Bonus
I primarily focused on Rin in thus analysis because I saw someone saying they believe Rin doesn't like Kagura, but there are multiple clear moments of affection on Kagura's side and I'd like to briefly mention a few.
Like kagura going to visit Rin and stay with her instead of attending the barbecue at Shigure's or her concern about Rin being missing, and wondering if she was really in the hospital, as well as picking up her diploma for her graduation.

💥 Interdimensional Smash Brawl 💥
MB-R2 and RB-R1 Results
(Also, with some announcements!)
Tumblr media
"Greetings again to everyone! Looks like you're all eager to know the results. Though you might've already seen the result in the polls, we took some further review on most of our matches. Anyway, let's get to it, shall we~?
First, in the 2nd round of the Main Bracket, the teams who'll proceed to the next round are:
Kiana Kaslana and Son Goku (@ancicntforged)
Nanada Maroon and Vegeta (@lawain-dimensional-heroes)
Brown Bear and Wild Dog (@thesafaribaggirl-returns)
Mori Calliope and Takanashi Kiara (@cutetubers)
That means the teams who weren't able to make it will join us in the Redemption Bracket. Those are:
Tohru and Elaina (@musekaiplex)
Karma Akagi and Mei Fubuki (@bxd-kxrma)
Kuwabara Kazuma and Minegishi Kazuya (@gravity-walll)
No. 2 and No. 1 (@musekaiplex)
Speaking of which, we'll now proceed to the 1st round of the Redemption Bracket. Upon further evaluation, those who'll be in the next round of the said bracket will be:
Baldwin and Sarmenti (@thebreakfastmuses)
Midoriya Izuka and Sypha Belnades (@femdeku-rp)
Carl Clover and Furina de Fontaine (@starredvisions)
Kiryu Kazuma and Majima Goro (@allelitemuses)
While most of their matches have been based on the number of votes, a few of them have been taken into consideration due to the outcomes of the actual fights that contrast the voting results. Also, the difference in the number votes were also one of the factors of our decision.
Tumblr media
With that being said, unfortunately, the following teams listed below will no longer be able to proceed to the next round.
Tifa Lockhart and Yor Forger (@worldofwaifus)
Rin and Ritsu (@thesafaribaggirl-returns)
Captain Falcon and Sol Badguy (@allelitemuses)
Hermes and Zek (@strykingback)
We're sorry that you won't be able to take part after your recent matches. So to show our appreciation to those who joined, we'd like to give each of you this item.
Tumblr media
It's an Aztec pendant that I made for you. Well, if you want to wear it or simply keep it is up to you~
Tumblr media
Now, I have another special announcement for everyone. Since the holidays are coming, we'll take a break and let our contestants take this time to rest. The lineups for the next round in each bracket will be posted soon.
And I believe some of you might've already guessed that the next rounds will have more restrictions removed. One hint that I can give you is that the assists will be fighting alongside the fighters as well in the arena. Isn't that exciting?
Of course, more will be revealed soon. See you all next time~"

Hi, it’s me again *blows up several buildings and kills eighty seven bystanders with my sheer aura*
I figured out more stuff for my gay little episode outlines, so anyways, here’s the outline for episode two of my horrifying little plot idea for your Magical Knight Arashi au:
K, so after the bullshit Arashi dealt with she deserves a break, too bad, anyways the sword turned into an aesthetic looking makeup brush when she detransformed. Me thinks, she deserves a transformation item.
Anyways she a student so it’s education time, and by that I mean school + drama
she and Mika talk again, it’s fairly normal, he’s still a weird little man pretending to be a tsundere but he does ask if she liked the bear charm he gave her, she fucking loves it btw cuz it’s adorable. (Little standoffish man ain’t used to interacting with normal people, living with Shu does that to you ig 😔)
Mika, being the self sabotaging king that he is, asks if she has anyone better to talk to. Arashi is of course like “no” but with a tone that clearly means to indicate “are you ok?” But Mika doesn’t get that. So Arashi talk about her friends to him. Izumi, Leo, and Ritsu <3 and then she invites him to eat lunch with them.
Mika declines :( (for good reason but we’ll get to that eventually, he does kind of want to go but he knows he can’t, and it’s a Shu thing btw, Shu wants him to blend in and making friends is kind of part of that, it’s just, another thing)
anyways we cut to the class where Leo is, Shu is introduced via a goofy yah funny way, like he’s the comedically stuck up classmate.
he and Izumi are fighting
Leo is trying to break up the verbal smack down but like, it ain’t really working, eventually once these bitches tire each other out or a teacher intervenes they’ll stop.
Leo tries to calm down and comfort Izumi with a hand on his shoulder but Izumi brushes him off
Leo also tries to invite him to lunch again and he tells Izumi that he, Arashi, and Ritsu all miss him at lunch
Izumi declines and says that he has to go before storming out of that classroom as soon as the bell rings
Leo complains to Arashi and Ritsu about Izumi at lunch.
After Leo is done venting his frustrations Arashi brings up the weird shit from the night before
She tries to show the photo she got of the mannequins? No, weird living dolls. On her phone, but all the photos are blurred out.
Ritsu is like “So, what are we supposed to see here?”
Arashi explains and shows them the gem mark + the makeup brush + the 87 photos she got of her new cat.
Leo and Ritsu believe her cuz like, they’re besties, and also, it’s Leo and Ritsu, they’ve dealt with weirder, Aliens + Rei Sakuma
anyways the besties decide that A. Arashi needs to do something fun to get her mind off things + B. They want to do something for Izumi cuz he’s been super stressed recently
So they go out together to look for something to buy him. Girlboss mall trip <<33
After browsing through a few shops they pick out a couple things for him, a nice shirt and some ink for that pretty glass pen he likes to use. (Leo picked out the second one)
They go to a little cafe with those cute colorful drinks in the mall for a snack. This is the usual hang out spot for a lot of the younger students, like the first years, especially if they like sweets.
Ritsu notices something is up.
there are gold strings creeping along the floor, and they seem to be going toward Arashi’s bag
Ritsu grabs her bag and stand from his chair.
Arashi and Leo are of course like “??????”
but they go along with what he’s doing, the strings start to follow him so he gets up and goes lmao, the three of them leave the table and their drinks behind. (At this establishment you pay at the counter so they’ve already paid for the drinks)
These bitches actually get chased by the strings until they end up in a deserted place (the fucking back alley outside the mall where people usually load stuff from trucks)
Arashi grabs the makeup brush out of her bag so she can transform to do something about the strings, maybe cut them?? She doesn’t really know
So the strings form these circles on the ground right? Cool. They open up little portals and the dolls materialize out of the strings (it kind of looks like they’ve been woven together like a tapestry)
Arashi is trying to transform but she cant figure out how to do it. So Leo starts beating the fuck out of the dolls like the feral street cat that he is.
he starts getting his ass kicked and when he’s about to get slammed into a wall Arashi figures it out and transforms
she deals with the dolls pretty easily and they unravel back into little piles of string
anyways things go on, these three besties go back to the house to play with the cat and also patch up Leo’s scratches.
also Tsukasa saw the whole fight, oops.
yeah he saw them leave the cafe in a panic and decided to follow just incase the kids from his school were in trouble and he legit saw the entire thing. Have fun dealing with this Arashi.
I’m having a lot of fun with this Lmao. I hope you enjoyed this <<33
thank you for the wonderful ideas Rui. I have so much more that I want to write about this Lmao. I’ll be back when I have time and another outline that I want to share <<33
*gets out of a timetravel machine* hello, misano from almost a week ago :)
i would drawn all of this before but 1. i had no idea how and 2. last week i was in my house only to sleep haha /sobs
now going to the central theme!
Tumblr media
early series Mika got the same social skills as a 11 years old introverted otaku obsessed with yuno gasai frfr
Tumblr media
Shu being unbearable for Izumi is so fking funny to me for no reason. I've always felt like when these two meet they would pull each other's hair idkwhy JDFAS
Izumi is so done with that school that he can't not-be an asshole :)
also i've been acting like i know how tf Arashi's cat looks like but i can't denie it anymorE i think is this cat from that card cuz is the only one i can find
Tumblr media
I like to think that some moment out screen she went to the closest pet store and just bought half of the store for her new kitty
Tumblr media
thanks to Ritsu for noticing those strings or our series would end up a lot earlier than planned 👏👏
also while they run away from the strings you can't tell they didn't hit at least ONE kid like
Ritsu: *hits a kid with the bag*
Leo: holy shi-
Arashi: SORRY CHILD SORRY MA'AM
Tumblr media
also i fully want to think that Tsukasa followed them expecting something surreal, but like drugs or them just doing a joke video surreal, not *now i suppose that i live in a magic world where people can transform and bring out a sword out of nowhere in seconds, and also there's fucking living dolls* surreal
anywys, amazing work as always my dude c:! I can't wait for the next chapter!! <-already read it 5 days ag
ME DESAPAREZCO *throws a smoke bomb**trips and falls*

SHINSEKAI - Empire of Fantasy: Chapter 9
Location: Seisou Hall (Ritsu & Mika’s Room) Characters: Mika & Shuu
TL Note:
Zunda mochi is a green soybean rice cake and namahage is a type of oni-like (demon/ogre) being that wears a mask and a straw cape. Both of these originate from the Tohoku region in Japan.
Tumblr media
Shuu: In any case, there are two general ways to earn money in this “SHINSEKAI”.
Either complete the missions or events that can be triggered in various places in “SHINSEKAI” or steal it from other idols.
Mika: Yeah. For missions, we’ll need to complete tasks they tell us to do.
Like buyin’ a certain item from a certain store or defeatin’ a monster in a cave.
The people who are programmed – an NPC? Apparently, that’s what they’re called but they’ll be stationed here and there in “SHINSEKAI” and they’ll be the ones to give us the missions.
Shuu: Yeah. I don’t know what the abbreviation for NPC is, though.
Unlike us, that Harukawa– Chibisuke are like characters in a game.
And events seem to be happenings you can experience that occur here and there in this “SHINSEKAI”. The amount of “SSG” you can gain or lose will depend on how you act during those times.
Mika: It’s like “You were caught in a sandstorm! Minus 100 ‘SSG’”! Sounds like the “Game of Life”. You know, the board game.
Shuu: Things happen too suddenly and there are a lot of unreasonable things about it, so I don’t like it…
Unlike a mission, I cannot control what’s happening and I don’t know when and what sort of events will be triggered, so it’s not good for my heart.
Mika: There are a lot of weird ones. I don’t know the reason but it looks like there are a lot of events based on the Tohoku region…
Like “Block a river filled with zunda mochi[*]!” or “Eradicate a local speciality of apple from Aomori that’s turned into a monster!” or “Save a child who has been kidnapped by a namahage[*]!”
Shuu: What a crude image of Tohoku.
Mika: It seems there are a few fantasy-like events too and they’re pretty high quality.
It’s just the Tohoku one that seems a bit weird.
Shuu: It’s almost as if they made the Tohoku ones in a rush. Perhaps “Switch” was in a rush to prepare everything once they found out they would be sent out to the Tohoku region and would also be managing this “SHINSEKAI”.
Mika: Yeah~ No one knew where they’d be sent out to until right before it started, huh.
I can introduce my hometown but if someone asked me to introduce Tohoku, I’d be in trouble since I don’t really know anythin’ ‘bout it.
Shuu: I’ve never expected you to do that.
Either way, even if we don’t do those events or missions, we can steal “SSG” from the other idols.
Mika: That’s how they managed to take some from us when they went in for a concentrated attack… We didn’t know what was happenin’ so they attacked us while we were confused.
Shuu: Indeed. The word “steal” doesn’t have a nice ring to it, but the outline stated that it was like a variety show where we’ll be competing by playing simple games.
If we had stayed calm, we might have had a chance at winning.
Mika: Hmm~ Puttin’ myself aside, you’re not made for variety shows, right, Onii-chan? I’m not that great at them, either.
Anyway, if we lose those games, a certain amount of “SSG” will be taken from us.
We didn’t know that rule existed and we kept on losin’ so we don’t have much left.
Shuu: We don’t need to panic yet.
Our reward from yesterday’s “Championship Match” has been converted into “SSG” and that became the first batch of money in our possession.
Mika: Yeah but if we keep takin’ on those battles and end up losin’, we’re gonna run out eventually.
Shuu: I know. But even so, what should we do?
I’ve gradually gotten an understanding of how this “SHINSEKAI” works, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. It’s noisy and foolish and no passing moment can be spared to breathe.
If I’m allowed to, I’d like to stay inside this lodging for the entire duration while we’re in here.
Mika: Yeah but maybe that’s why they’ve set the lodgin’ prices super high to prevent people from stayin’.
If you kept payin’ that price, you’ll use up all your “SSG” and it’ll all be over.
We’ve finally gotten a ticket to take part in the finals for “SS” but we might end up havin’ to give it up without achievin’ anythin’.
No, we’ll make our victory yesterday go to waste. I don’t really want that to happen.
Our performance yesterday was awesome. I think we ended up creatin’ something super artistic after all that hard work, and winnin’ was proof of that.
And yet, for all of it to have never existed in the first place…
Shuu: …………
It’ll be all right, Kagehira.
Mika: Huh?
Shuu: If that’s what you wish for, then your worries will not become reality.
That’s because artists like us take a piece of this world that god controls – We take a piece of this reality and turn it into our own dreams.
In those dreams, we are invincible.
And there are two invincible artists here.
Mika: …………
Shuu: The god of “SHINSEKAI”, huh… That arrogant boy, does he think he can toy with us “Valkyrie” however he pleases just because he’s become a god?

a dreamland , ritsu sakuma
Tumblr media
♡ — note ; hiiiiiiiii i havent posted any writings in a long time... sorry i promise ill write more!!!!!!!!!! and also i think i might start taking requests, i want to give it a try ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و  see how it goes maybe i’ll start taking in requests?! who knowsd!!!!!
warnings ; none i think
Tumblr media
the orange-like sun rays shone through the windows, warmth engulfing you. silence took the whole room and only you could hear the light snoring from ritsu, clinging onto you like his life depended on it. despite the soft sunlight reflecting on you both and making you cosy, ritsu’s unbreakable hold was making you warm, maybe too warm.
having ritsu cuddled up with you is like having a dozen of pillows buried onto you, as comforting as napping with ritsu is to you, you can’t help but feel down. recently these days you have not been feeling good. somehow the day went bad and it could be from anything, your pencil breaking when you’re trying to write, dropping a few coins by accident in the drain, losing items you swore you knew where you have placed it. all of it made you feel exasperated, miserable or even worry. at that point of time you felt too emotional and overwhelmed by it, but yet you did not tell anyone about it, you thought nobody knew.
but ritsu did, he had a plan to help you relax a bit, all hidden with his antics. which was why he asked you to accompany him to take a nap with him, as he usually does. as much as how into la-la land ritsu seemed to be, he was actually quite observant, especially with you. ritsu was gluing himself on you, he was not actually sleeping just pretending to. 
you started to hear ritsu mumbling incoherent words, to you at least. at first you pay no attention to it but the more you kept listening you started to realise ritsu was not in fact blurting out unclear words but speaking in sentences.
“what’s wrong? you seem to be a little down... it’s ok to tell me”
you felt your body go up, more shocked than surprised. you were not usually the one to start dumping problems on others nor were you the one to let what you thought were small things become a big thing. you started to internally panic because you never had someone done this to you before it was as if ritsu was reading your mind.
after a long minute of silence you spoke,
“there’s nothing wrong, why would i be down?”
it was true that ritsu could read you like a book. flipping through each page of your own emotions, your facial expressions, your body language even the way you spoke too. it was like ritsu knew you better than yourself.
“there’s no need to lie. i know that there’s something wrong”
from where ritsu was burying himself into you, he propped his head a little so you both were making eye contact. his wine red eyes started to squint with suspicion. you could not say anything, both of you still locking eyes. the whole atmosphere between you and ritsu was tense, his blood red eyes contrasted the light mirroring to the whole room.
“maybe i’ll talk about it later, until i feel more comfortable about it”
ritsu noticed your discomfort and did not want to push you past your limit, so he wanted to make you feel more secure, in his own little way.
“it’s ok, nap with me maybe we can go into dreamland together... and help you loosen up with your uncertainties...” 
the ebony haired boy then dropped his head light back into your chest, snuggling up into your neck, drifting off to sleep. you could not help but start to smile. you found that cute, why was it so cute, why is he so cute? ritsu sure had a way of comforting and loving, special to him and you. you did not stop smiling and started to drift off to sleep with ritsu too, maybe you both will be together in dreamland, a dreamland just with you and him together.

Champion (6/20): Having Made It Through the Night
cham·pi·on — /ˈCHampēən/
(n) - a person who fights or argues for a cause or on behalf of someone else
(v) - support the cause of; defend — "I don't want these powers. They're too much."
Reigen said he would bear any burden too big for Mob.
He doesn't have psychic powers any more.
He won't hurt anyone any more.
Those thoughts kept spinning around and around in Mob's head as he helped Reigen pick up the mess in his office. Knowing why he felt the way he did—lighter and more free, happier even—was exhilarating. He felt...wonderful. He felt—
"Shishou?" Reigen looked up from where he was gathering pens off the ground by hand. "Will I still be working?"
"What do you mean?" Reigen went a little pale and a lot sweaty. Mob felt a wave of fuzzy pressure roll over him. His mouth tasted like cigarette smoke and hurt like he smiled too wide for too long.
"What I mean is: I don't have my powers anymore. Will I still be working here, with you?" The thought of not working alongside his shishou hadn't occurred to Mob until literally just then, but it was worrying. He was worried.
He could feel worried without it becoming a horrible feedback loop that caused an explosion.
He felt giddy because he could feel worried.
"Well, yeah?" Reigen seemed affronted he had even asked. "In what world would I abandon you just because you couldn't help with exorcisms or curse removal? It'd be like throwing away your computer just because the battery died. You get me?"
No, but he trusted Reigen. If he said he didn't have to stop, that was enough. "What would I do, though?"
"Work the desk, like you always do." It seemed like the simplest answer in the whole world. It was breathtaking, how easy it was for his shishou to come to conclusions quickly and stick to his conviction. "I'm not going to put you in danger. You keep smiling at our clients and running the till and I'll do all the heavy lifting, okay?"
"Okay."
Behind Mob, Ritsu made some kind of harsh noise. Hanazawa laughed, once, and Ritsu hissed at him. All of this was just low enough that Mob couldn't tell what they were actually saying but, if his little brother was exchanging LINE with Hanazawa, then good for him. He deserved more intelligent esper role models in his life, even if he didn't like shishou all that much.
"A-ny-way!" Reigen gestured about, a few objects levitating near him. He noticed and snatched them out of the air before continuing his thought. "I'm kinda attached. Aren't I your shishou?"
"Yes."
"Then know I won't ever abandon you! Powers or not, you're my student, Mob, and I'll always be here for you!"
That's what he wanted to be when he grew up. He wanted to be as confident and kind and in-control as Reigen. He wanted to be able to say things and mean them immediately. He wanted to never worry about hurting anyone accidentally. He wanted to help people too.
Reigen took his awed silence as an answer and clapped him on the shoulder. "Alright! Now all of you, get out! I need to clean up and maybe take a mallet to this cabinet. See if I can smack out the dent...can't afford a new one."
"See you tomorrow!" Mob didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, even if Ritsu and Hanazawa were already on their way out. Ritsu, thankfully, was waiting by the door for him.
"No, not tomorrow. Gonna close down for the day. Doctor's appointment." Reigen waved a hand from where he was rearranging the items on his desk.
Mob frowned. Wouldn't he have scheduled the appointment on a day Spirits and Such wasn't open? Unless this was a last-minute thing to do with the Seventh Division thing?
"Yeah, yeah," Ritsu cut in. "Goodbye!"
Reigen waved one hand at them again, still bent over working on his desk. Mob raised his own hand in an unseen farewell, then followed his brother and Hanazawa out the door and down to the sidewalk outside the building.

Twitter Polls Make For The Bloodiest Battlefields - Chapter 3
Humans Aren't The Only Ones Using Convenience Stores
1 • 2 (Previous Chapter) • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6 • 6.5
Pairing: Sakata Gintoki x Reigen Arataka
Summary: Anime Twitter was thrown into chaos. Thirty-two "DILFs" were thrown into a merciless battle to find out who truly encapsulated the title of Dad I'd Like to Fuck. Two competitors begin to wonder whether the battle is worth it and maybe, just maybe, they can overcome their differences to find a way out.
Genre: Enemies to Lovers
Word Count: 2,361
Warnings: Reigen being Reigen, mentions of blood
Dimple is, as the kids say, straight up not having a good time.
 He has been floating around in the same spot for over half an hour, waiting for Reigen to finish talking with Mob over the phone. A part of him considers leaving the two-bit conman and heading over to Mob's home but, after being headed into a rental car by Reigen, he has no idea where he is. The fraud kept talking about a lucrative case a few towns over, saying that the client was so desperate to deal with her spirit problem that she would be willing to pay anything. 
 "Are you sure that you won't be able to make it, Mob?" Reigen asks for what feels like the hundredth time, "of course, I can handle this by myself, it's just that this would be a great experience for you." Dimple knows that he is lying, but doesn't say anything. It seems like Mob is finally taking a bit of a stand against his boss and so the upper-class spirit stays out of it. "Ah, there's no need to put your mother on the phone," the conman says, his forehead sweating a little more, "I hope your exam goes well and I'll see you in the office in the afternoon."
  Reigen immediately hangs up the phone, his breathing uncharacteristically rapid as he tries to calm down his racing heart. For once, Dimple can't blame him. Dimple has been fortunate enough to see Mob's mother's wrath only once, and he would never want to see it again for as long as she lived.  
 "So, he's not coming then?"
 "Nope. It's just you and me," Reigen responds, clearly unhappy with the arrangement. Still, he tidies his suit and runs a hand through his golden hair; dishevelling some of the tangled knots. 
 "Then let me know when you're done," Dimple responds, about to float off towards the car. 
 "Oh, running scared," the other man teases. Dimple knows what he is trying to do, and it works every time. 
 "No! Of course I'm not, I just don't know why you'd need me to help on such a basic job."
 "Then, if it's so basic, why don't we have a little competition," Reigen challenges, straightening his tie in a swift motion that catches the eyes of a woman walking past. Either that, or it's the fact that a grown man is talking to himself.
 "You're on," Dimple pauses for a moment, "and if I win, then you have to tell Mob the truth." 
 Reigen nods, somehow being supremely confident despite the fact that he cannot see spirits. "To make it fair, I'll let you know what the client told me. Apparently, a powerful evil spirit has been haunting this store," he says as he uses his thumb to gesture to the building behind him, "and they need it gone."
 "Well, I'm not sensing anything so it's probably a crank call," Dimple replies. If that ends up being the case, then he might try doing the same thing himself. Or, at the very least, he could convince Ritsu to give it a go.  As he plans his potential vengeance, he hears the door to the store beep, signalling that someone has entered it.
 “Ah, you must be Lu,” Reigen says as the door slides shut, leaving Dimple to make his own way in. 
 “You really came,” a young woman says with tears in her eyes. She has reddish-pink hair which is braided into a long plait. “No one believed me, but there’s something haunting this store.”
 Dimple lets Reigen waste his time talking to the girl while he explores the store. 
 On the surface, everything looks like he would expect. Each aisle contains food or small items that the living would need in their everyday lives. As Dimple floats by the potato chips, he can’t help but wonder how some of the stranger flavours might taste. Usually, when he eats food through a possessed body it ends up tasting like ash.
 “You look sad,” a high-pitched voice says behind him, causing the green blob to turn around in surprise. A little girl, probably less than half Mob’s age, is standing in front of him. She has short, dark hair and wide, kind eyes. “You aren’t like the scary man, are you?”
 “What scary man?” Reigen asks, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. 
 “Oh, he stands over there,” she points to one of the aisles, “but he is always angry.” 
 Reigen thanks the girl as he walks over to the corner and begins to take a closer look. Dimple leaves him to it, assuming that the reason the spirit isn’t showing up is that it’s too weak.
 “What’s your name?” The girl is still standing by Dimple, clearly curious about him. 
 “None of your business,” he says, only to immediately backtrack when her eyes begin to well up with tears. “It’s Dimple.”
“Nice to meet you, Dimple-chan! My name’s Hana.” Her tears immediately dry up, and Dimple can’t help but wonder if they were even real to begin with.  “Do you miss eating food?”
 “Why’d you think that?” Dimple asks, slightly surprised by how perceptive the child is. Especially when he is usually hanging around the naïve Mob. It’s kind of refreshing, actually.
 “You keep looking at the chips,” she says, “but daddy says they taste horrible.” She says this as though she is telling a secret to a close friend. 
 “What would you recommend then, miss?” Dimple says, pretending to be a customer.  This seems to excite Hana as she bolts off to another aisle. 
 “Hana-chan, you’re not meant to run in the store,” Lu says as she stands near Reigen. She seems to be really enthusiastic about what he is doing, talking about how her colleague is a ‘clairvoyant’ who can read minds. Dimple can’t believe that one girl could be unlucky enough to have two fraudsters in her life. 
 “Here,” she says, showing Dimple a bottle of peppermint oil. “Mummy says that it helps with head pains.”
 Dimple can’t help but laugh. “Yeah, I don’t think it will help with mine,” he pauses, “but thank you.”
 Hana nods, a warm smile on her face before she freezes. The smile immediately fades and her eyes become filled with terror as she looks through Dimple. 
 That’s when he feels it; a pressure almost unlike anything he has ever felt before. In fact, if he hadn’t met Mob, he would have believed that this was the power of a god. 
 “Reigen!” Dimple shouts, turning to look at the man. Standing only a little bit behind Reigen and Lu is a hulking figure that towers over them, a malicious aura seeping into the room. How on earth could he not have felt it?
 “Give me a minute Dimple,” Reigen says as he sprinkles a pinch of salt by the spirit's feet. 
 “You need to run!” 
 As the pair continue to stand there, the spirit lifts one of its large hands up, preparing to attack. 
 “Lu!” Hana shouts, grabbing the woman’s attention. 
 The arm crashes down, knocking into one of the snack-holders. Lu, at the last second, grabs Reigen and pulls him out of the way. While Reigen lands in an awkward clump, she manages to gracefully flip. Her hair follows her, whipping over her shoulder like she’s from an action film.
 “Are you alright, Hana-chan?” She asks, not taking her eyes off of the corner where the spirit is. At this point, Reigen is completely outmatched but Dimple doesn’t want to scare the girl next to him. 
 Kill…
 That’s not good. 
 Usually, spirits like this remain hidden from non-espers, making them a lot more difficult to deal with. 
 “Reigen, roll left!”
 Without hesitating, the conman rolls smoothly to the left and narrowly avoids another attack. He then stands up, slipping off his blazer and throwing it over to the counter. 
 “Lu, duck!” Hana shouts, copying what Dimple is doing. Lu smoothly leans back, an arm swiping with where she just was. Out of instinct, her foot shoots up but the spirit lets it pass through him as if he isn’t there. 
 Reigen seems to notice this and reaches into his trouser pocket to pull out a handful of salt. He then swings a punch in the direction where Lu’s leg went. 
 “He hit it,” Hana says in wonder as Reigen’s fist connects with the spirit. 
 When he pulls away, however, it is clear to see that no damage has been done. They needed someone stronger to land some damage. 
 At first, Dimple thinks of Mob. If he was here then the spirit would be gone in an instant. But Mob has no way of getting to them, especially if his mother is keeping him under lock and key. 
 Hana continues to guide Lu, her simple instructions allowing the woman to avoid injury. Reigen, however, seems to only listen to half the things that Dimple is saying. 
 “Reigen, give the salt to Lu,” Dimple says, an idea quickly forming in his mind. At first, the man looks a little reluctant but, as he feels a punch land against his stomach, he agrees. 
 “Lu, I need you to hold onto this,” he says, passing the salt and leaving him with no method of attack. For a moment, Lu pauses to grab the salt and the spirit uses this as its chance. Rather than going after Lu or Reigen, it reaches out to Hana. 
 The girl is understandably terrified as the spirit’s foot comes crashing down, but she is knocked out of the way at the last minute. 
 Dimple watches as Reigen goes flying, taking the full force of the blow. 
 “Reigen!” Dimple rushes to his side, noticing that the shirt which usually only has a couple of sweat patches, is covered in scratches and a couple of bloody spots bleeding through the fabric.
 “Help the girl,” Reigen says as he starts to move. His breathing is a little bit laboured, but he seems to be fine.
 Dimple nods, well as much as his blob shape allows him to, and speeds back over to Hana who is absolutely paralysed in fear. Lu, meanwhile, is trying her best but she is severely out-matched.
 “Hana-chan, I need you to tell Lu where the spirit is,” he says; keeping his voice as calm as possible. Only a couple of months ago, he would have possessed the child and quickly solved the problem. Yet he can’t bring himself to do it now. 
 “But it’s scary,” she says as her hands shake slightly. 
 “It’s normal to feel scared,” Dimple says, trying to do his best impression of Reigen when he’s consoling Mob. “Even the bravest people are afraid at times.”
 “Even daddy?”
 “Especially your dad,” Dimple is only guessing at what her father is like. “But do you know why he keeps going?”
 Hana shakes her head.
 “Because he has people he wants to protect, just like you want to protect Lu.”
 “And you want to protect your friend?” 
 Dimple pauses for a moment, his gaze shooting to the ground as he mutters a quiet yes. It’s definitely a lie. He just wants to make sure that Hana and Lu are safe. And he needs a ride back to Spice city. Yep, definitely a lie.
 It seems to do the trick as Hana immediately starts to tell Lu where to punch. All Dimple can do is watch, but he feels confident that they have it handled, especially when Lu manages to pin the spirit to the floor and starts to punch it repeatedly.
 “How are we going to get rid of it?” Dimple asks as he floats back over to Reigen. Thankfully, the injuries are only superficial enough for the conman to be sitting upright, his back resting against the counter. 
 “I don’t think we’re going to have to worry about that,” he says as he gestures to Lu. She is punching the spirit so hard that its body is beginning to fall apart. 
 “Is that even possible?” Dimple mutters in equal parts wonder and terror.
 “Well Mob isn’t exactly a strong boy,” Reigen says before quickly tagging on, “and I always hold back my punches out of pity.”
 “Sure you do,” the green blob says, too tired to argue. 
 The spirit only lasts for a few more minutes, its body dissolving completely. In its wake is an almost completely destroyed store; food and shelves scattered around as if there was a mini-tornado. 
 “Ugh, Sakamoto-san is going to kill me,” Lu groans as she looks at the wreckage. Reigen, meanwhile, is slipping his blazer back on. 
 “About the payment…” he says, stepping over one of the destroyed snack stands.
 “Oh, yeah,” Lu pulls an envelope out of her pocket and hands it to him, her eyes not leaving the wreckage. 
 “Ah, Shin-chan’s back!” Hana shouts, running over to the door. A young, blond man is walking towards the store, his hair ruffling slightly in the breeze.
 Upon seeing him, Lu immediately ducks behind the counter as if it makes her invisible. Reigen, meanwhile, remains in clear view; his eyes scanning of some paper in his hands.
 “Lu, I told you to wait unt-“ Shin pauses what he’s saying as walks into the store, his eyes widening at the carnage. Then his gaze lands on Reigen. His finger shoots up to point at the fraud in horror. “You!”
 “Me?” Reigen says as he stares at the paper in his hands. He briefly looks up to make eye contact, his body beginning to glow a strange yet familiar colour. Dimple can’t believe it. Disappearing out of reality once is an impossibility, but twice!?
 “Oh, you were from the Tw-“
 And, just like that, Reigen Arataka simply blips out of existence. All that’s left in his place is an empty envelope with the store owner’s name stamped on the front.
 At first, Dimple expected the other three to panic but they seem remarkably calm. The new arrival picks up the envelope and places it on the table, takes a deep breath in as he rubs his temples before briefly shouting out exactly what Dimple is thinking.
 “Not again!”

T. LEO > Coma. <
A/N: old repost from my old blog~!
TW/CW (Please read.): Fluff at first, angst at the end( reader is in a coma ), major mentions of blood, self delusion(by leo(and this delusion idea came from gakkou-gurashi))
gn!reader, 2 shots espresso.
words: 2721 proofread.
"You really lighten up my day,
but that light's gone now."
Tumblr media
Laughs and giggles filled the practice room of Knights. The 5 unique members of the unit and one also unique person were in the practice room, as most of the people joked around.
Ritsu, as always, was napping on the floor of the practice room, and you were laughing along with Arashi, Tsukasa and Leo.
Izumi was knitting a scarf, but had stopped when his fingers had started to hurt.
Leo, suddenly jumping up from his seat at the floor from the conversation, shouted that he had gotten inspiration to compose. The eccentric boy pulled you from the floor, and pulled you along with him for his shenanigans. You, being used to this, gives him a pen and paper just before he leaves the room, and thankfully, Leo grabs it and gets back to the practice room, just before he had left somewhere unknown.
In just a few seconds, he had written an entire melody, and it was amazing how quick he was able to compose a song. It would be quite soon when he would write the lyrics that matched along with it.
“Now, for the finale! This, will be my greatest piece yet! Wahahaha~!” Leo shouts, holding up the pieces of paper.
Izumi, grimacing, immediately retorts back, “You’re being too loud, so shush, will you? So~ annoying.”
Not minding the retort, Leo turns to you and shoves the papers to your sight, and with sparkling eyes, he points at the parts he loves.
Analysing the parts he pointed at, he turns to you, with very enthusiastic eyes. The look alone just screamed ‘it's great, right?!’
“So, what do you think?”
Laughing nervously, you respond with a nod and a small yes.
You didn’t have the heart to say that you didn’t know what he meant, but as long as you were able to see Leo happy, you were happy as well.
Smiling, Leo turns to Izumi and says, “See, Sena! (y/n) likes it, no, they love it!”
“Hah? Who told you that? They only said that they knew what you meant, Ou-sama!”
The small quarrel between the two graduates in Knights made some others laugh, while Tsukasa tried to calm the both down.
Ritsu, annoyed that he was woken up, crawled over to you and Arashi and draped himself over the two of you, and started to sleep again. Leo, turning around to see Ritsu on you and Arashi, pouted and went over to you, pulling you away whether Ritsu had liked it or not.
Grumbling, Ritsu turns to the floor and resumes his nap, making you sweatdrop. Leo, hugging you and pushing his head into your shoulder whines and mumbles something that was not recognisable for you to decipher.
Izumi, more annoyed than before, gestured for you to both separate, and you knew what it meant, and you did not want a very angry Izumi, no you didn’t.
Angry Izumi was a menace and you did not want to deal with it. And even if your heart did not want you to separate the hug, you patted Leo’s back and let his arms loosen and separate.
Pouting, Leo looks at you and makes grabby hands, in which you respond with, “When we go back home, we can cuddle, okay?”
Beaming, he nods enthusiastically and turns to Izumi for entertainment, as the grey haired boy angrily pushes the orange haired boy off of him.
It was a wonderful day, indeed. Smiling, you announce that you would be returning home early, to do your homework and some duties that you needed to finish. The other members, nodding at your announcement, let you off to do your work. Giving them a respectful bow, you leave to get some of your stuff from the practice room and you leave, putting the items into your bag. Shutting the door, you walk off from the Ensemble Square building, and to the direction your house was located. But as you were about to reach for your keys, you suddenly coughed, dropping your keys and phone to the floor.
The coughing wouldn’t stop. It was continuous, and you knew that.
Quickly composing yourself, you grab the dropped items from the floor and quickly open the door and lock it, and taking your shoes off, you run to your room to find the medicine that had stopped your coughs for a while.
But before you had reached your door, you started coughing again, but this time, it felt different than before.
It felt like something, some type of liquid was exiting your lungs with your coughs.
Opening your eyes, you look at the floor and see droplets of carmine red blood. Wiping your chin, you see a smear of the same liquid.
Horrified, you quickly entered your room and got the medicine you needed, and changed your clothes and dragged along a towel to quickly clean up the blood.
After getting the last drops of the red, you stand up and go to the kitchen to get some water. Your throat was dry, and you were very sure that you lost quite a bit of blood, judging at the blood on your uniform.
Bringing out the water, you gulp it down along with the medicine, and placed the bottle back in the fridge.
I really need some food…
You thought. You knew you needed food. Your stomach was asking for food 2 hours ago. Why didn’t you eat earlier? You didn’t know but it could be likely that the cause was you being distracted with talking and joking along with Tsukasa, Arashi and Leo.
But you knew that you did not have the strength to make the food you wanted, so eventually you ordered some food, and waited for it to come.
Sitting down on the sofa, you turn on the TV to turn the channels to the news that was happening around Japan and the world.
Knock knock
Ah, there the order is at.
You stand up, maybe too fast for your own good, as you felt your vision turn black and go back to normal. Walking over to the door, you open it and get the food that you had ordered.
Shutting the door, you walk over to the kitchen to get some utensils that were needed to eat the food.
Yet a few seconds later after sitting down, another knock was heard, and it was followed by a series of impatient knocks.
Sighing, you stand up begrudgingly and open the door.
You were met with your boyfriend, this time more dishevelled and tired. When he saw you, he immediately brightened and entered your house, as he took off his shoes.
Smiling at you, Leo talks about his day eagerly, as you eat your food. Nodding along to indicate that you were listening to him.
And once you had finished your food, you went over to the couch as Leo followed.
“I promised I’d cuddle you, yeah?”
“Yeah!”
And the both of you were at the couch, cuddling each other while the both of you watched the news.
Oh but you were so… so sleepy. Maybe some shut-eye would help?
And resting your head on Leo’s chest, you softly drift off to sleep.
Once noticing that your breaths were more relaxed, Leo looks at you with soft eyes, as he caresses your head.
That was how the both of you slept. In each others’ arms, on the couch, with the TV softly playing in the background.
You woke up, and judging by the light, it would be morning. Possibly the afternoon, considering how tired you were.
But you definitely did not remember sleeping on your bed. Checking your phone, you see a message left by Leo.
It read: I saw how tired you were when I woke up so I carried you over to your room! I’m off for Knights practice so I can’t see your face when you wake up :( But I’ll be back in the evening!
Smiling at the words, you set down your phone at the nightstand and open the curtains.
It was bright indeed. Checking the clock, you noted that it was 1 pm.
Sudden coughs had caught you off guard, as you dropped onto the floor in pain.
This… this isn’t like before… it hurts, so much.
Gasping for air, you stand up slowly, and pocket your phone into your pocket. Your feet felt wet. And you knew without looking that it would be blood.
When you had left your room, you went your way to the bathroom to clean the blood off.
But when you had reached the doorknob, more coughs had escaped your lungs, but this time, it felt like everything in your lungs were being ejected out of your internal organs. Looking at the ground, you saw a much more concerning amount of blood that had spilled out of your mouth. Traumatised and horrified, you grab for your phone. Your hands were shaky, and were covered in a beautiful red. Your vision was blurry, but you had managed to call the ambulance.
Anyone who would see you in this state would have thought that it was a murder scene.
There was an ungodly amount of blood that had pooled around you, and it was concerning that you managed to say hoarsely that you needed help.
And you didn’t manage to end the call as your vision had faded into black.
Meanwhile, Leo and his unit mates were practising in their practice room. Izumi was pointing out mistakes, while Ritsu had ignored Izumi’s scolding and started to drift off to sleep.
Everything was the same, chaotic and funny day, with the exception that you weren’t here for today. It felt like an empty hole, but you’d be back tomorrow! You were tired today, so it made sense for you to rest.
Laughs and giggles were heard in the practice room, but your voice was missing, just for today.
It was going fine until Leo had gotten a phone call.
“Is this Tsukinaga Leo?”
“Yeah, why?”
“We believe your partner has fainted and is in the emergency room.”
Out of shock, Leo dropped his phone.
Faint sounds of Leo’s surname were heard from his phone. Izumi, worried, grabbed the phone and answered instead for his orange haired friend.
When the phone call had ended, Leo, Izumi, Ritsu, Arashi and Tsukasa were in Leo’s car, as Izumi had pointed out the directions to the ER, which was far away from the building. It would take at least over one and a half hours for them to arrive.
When the group arrived, Leo quickly had barged in, asking for where you were as his 4 other friends followed close by.
But Leo wasn’t allowed in yet, as he needed to fill out the form of what his relationship with you were. When he had finished, the 4 other unit mates were in the waiting room as Leo was allowed in the room you were currently resting in.
Doctors and nurses had warned Leo to not do anything to you as you were resting and recovering from the short surgery you had.
The surgery had to be short as your body couldn’t be able to handle it anymore, so surgeries had to be cut short and multiple times once you had a day’s rest. You opened your eyes to reveal your tired (e/c) orbs and looked over to your worried boyfriend.
Leo did not say anything. He was in too much shock.
“I’m fine now, you know?”
“...What happened?”
“Huh?”
“What happened to you?”
“I… I was sick…”
With that answer, Leo’s head was more down to the floor.
“Y’know, it’s nothing to stress about. It’s just something I didn’t know that it would be this severe…”
Your voice had faded out when you saw Leo starting to cry. Slowly and carefully getting to a sitting position, you held out your arms, as Leo softly landed on your chest and shoulders.
Small hiccups and sniffles left the boy’s mouth as you patted his head and back to calm him down.
When Leo needed to leave your room, he was greeted by his other 4 unit mates.
He was thankful that his friends were there.
The same cycle of Leo visiting you along with his 4 unit mates at your room was continuous. The rest of the Knights were allowed once you were more recovered.
Izumi didn’t say anything too brash when he was at your hospital room.
Arashi asked if you needed anything or if you were feeling okay.
Ritsu was surprisingly more aware and awake, as he looked at you worriedly.
Tsukasa snuck some sweets to your room to share.
And Leo… oh Leo.
He was much more quiet, much more sombre and solemn.
The cycle would repeat until it was announced to Leo that you would have to be put in a medically induced coma as your body was starting to break, and without a coma, you would start to die.
When Leo and Izumi went to your room, you were there with so much wires and IVs connected to you. A breathing mask was over your nose and mouth. The younger three needed to do some work, so they could not come.
The sight of you made Leo back away.
This couldn’t be true.
Izumi, noticing his friend’s behaviour, quickly gave him a pat on Leo’s back as he slipped away from your room.
Izumi couldn’t do anything to comfort his friend, and he knew that. Staying in the same room with him and your near lifeless body wouldn’t help as well.
He also knew that if Leo saw your state, Leo would eventually delude himself that you were with him, healthy and lively. Though he knew that it wouldn’t help his own state. Deluding your own self was something so… tragic.
When Leo slid open the door and slid it back, Izumi saw the change of state of his friend.
Something had definitely happened when Leo was with your coma state.
“You know, (y/n)? I made a lot of songs for you today! Do you like it?”
With pained eyes, Izumi looked at Leo.
“Let's go home! Sena probably tired of seeing us like this hehe~”
“Yeah! I know, right? My compositions are the best!”
Leo was talking to nothing. Just the air. But Leo just had deluded himself that he was talking to you.
No, Izumi wasn’t tired or annoyed at Leo.
He was concerned.
As Leo had let ‘you’ in the car along with Izumi, Leo drove ‘you’ home, and now Leo was left with his grey haired friend.
Leo started up a conversation, but Izumi didn’t respond, only giving hums and nods.
When Izumi was dropped off at his home, Leo had driven off to his home.
Once Izumi went into his room, he quickly took out his phone, and made a group chat consisting of the Knights members except for Leo.
Leo has deluded himself to believe that he’s with (y/n). You all should go along with it. - Izumi, 6:20 pm
Tsukasa: I see. We will go along with it then, do the others agree?
6:21 pm
Arashi: I will as well, lets go along with Ou-sama until (y/n) wakes up.
6:21 pm
Izumi turns off his phone as he stares at the wall in front of him.
Ritsu: I’ll do the same then…
6:22 pm
Tsukasa, in his own respective room, looks at the message the elder had sent. Leo had to be in so much pain and disbelief for this to happen.
Arashi turns off her phone and sets it on the bed as she looks at the ceiling.
Ritsu had woken up from his sleepy state when he had seen Izumi’s message.
Just how bad was the situation?
The next day, the four members of Knights were greeted by their older member, Leo, interacting with ‘you’ in the practice room.
It was a pitiful sight, but they would have to go along with it until you had woken up.
The cycle repeated.
The four members, Izumi, Ritsu, Arashi and Tsukasa would visit you to get well.
It was only Leo that didn’t visit your hospital room anymore. ‘You’ were there with him, right?
But you weren’t.
The small voice in Leo’s head knew.

(pls dont force yourselves to write if you have a lot of requests♡)
Tumblr media
Hello! And THANK YOU <3 I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it means the absolute world to me that you guys enjoy our writing! The confession HCs have been a delight, and I'm thrilled we're still getting more requests!
In fact, I might be getting a little too excited- these posts keep getting longer! This post, plus maybe future ones of this series will be split up per character- The next half will be posted tomorrow and I'll link it here too, don't worry!
Regardless I hope you enjoy!! (Hajime is a favourite of mine, I hope this is cute enough for him <3)
 Ritsu Confession HCs >>
Tumblr media
Hajime Shino Confession HCs
Hajime was your rock- any time you felt worried or stressed and you'd find yourself by his side and calmed in an instant. He barely even had to do anything to calm your nerves, although it wasn't like you were about to complain when he'd whisper soft assurances and rub circles into your back.
You knew that Hajime worried about a lot of things too, although he seemed to battle everything himself. Never once had he come to you, or any of his unit, to truly confide in them. You were worried about him, to say the least. You wanted Hajime to know that he could rely on you, just as you did him.
But what could you do? Forcing him to admit his worries wasn't exactly going to help anything and just telling him you were open to talking didn't feel as sentimental as you'd like… so you thought up the perfect little idea.
By all means, the plan would take a while- you weren’t exactly a master of the skills required, but that wasn’t going to stop you. You bought all the pieces you needed; A plant pot, a small growth of lavender, fabric, a needle and thread, and most importantly, a bracelet.
You spent a large amount of time researching and learning what types of lavender produced the strongest aroma, and of course their growing conditions. You'd bought a small pot of a lavender that fit your requirements and had continued to take care of it, the seller telling you it would flower in just over a month. That meant you had a month to learn how to sew.
It was hard at first. You kept pricking yourself and your designs always turned out wonky… but you were getting better. Hajime owned a lot of lavender pouches and you were sure you couldn't compete with the designs those had, but again, that wasn't going to stop you. Plus, you had something extra up your sleeve.
A month flew by rather quickly and now it was time to see if all your hard work had paid off. 
You'd asked Hajime if he'd like to go stargazing with you that night and instead of anxiously staring at your phone waiting for a response you'd busied yourself with finalizing everything. You'd picked and dried all the lavender and begun tying it all up and slipping it into your hand embroidered bag.
Hajime had refused anything but arriving at your house and walking with you to the park, considering it was now after sunset.. And well that wasn't a problem with you. Grabbing a picnic blanket and some snacks you began your short trek to the park by your house.
The walk there was pleasant- filled with idle chatter about school and your daily lives. Hajime so kindly set out the blanket for you and the two of you plopped down, shoulder to shoulder. Once the conversation had lulled, you'd taken it as the moment for your gift.
"Hajime, I made something for you," you'd plucked the little bag and a bracelet from your bag and presented it to him.
He hesitantly took the two items from you, letting his eyes fall to them after you offered a smile. The bags fabric was a baby blue and embroidered onto it was a few lavender flowers as well as two little white rabbits. Watching as he so delicately handled the bag with such an awe stricken smile left your heat fluttering.
He pried it open and a flicker of confusion danced across his face. Inside were so many little small wrappings of lavender. You'd picked a few grains and sewn them into little pockets that looked like candies, the lavender in the middle with the ends pinched and the end fabric bunched up.
Plucking one from his palm you showed how the bracelet worked. It was just a simple black leather cord that had a little rabbit charm and what appeared to be two clamps on either end. You clamped one end onto one side of the lavender bundle and then asked for Hajime's wrist. He quickly obliged and you fit it around his wrist then clamped the other side down.
"It's so you can always smell some lavender whenever you need! Your pouches are a bit obvious so I thought you could do with something more discreet… The individual pouches should last a few weeks, then you can squash the flowers for a little longer, and when it finally stops smelling you just replace it."
Hajime was just staring at his wrist at this point, eyes wide and a feint blush upon his cheeks.
"You… you did all this? For me?"
You nodded, sheepishly rubbing the back of your neck, "Of course. I… really like you, Hajime… and I wanted to show you that." 
You could only giggle as Hajime launched himself at you, throwing his arms around your neck in a hug.
"You have no idea how happy this makes me-"

Day 3
Winter/Rings
This one is extra late oops lol @sihjrweek THIS ALSO TOOK ENTIRELY TOO LONG TO WRITE SO ITS NOT PROOFREAD SO IF U SEE A MISTAKE NO U DIDNT

"Anchan's birthday is in a week." Onodera Youko said, currently sitting at the dinner table across from her son, her husband absent.
Ritsu nodded as he pushed his food around on his plate. He was fully aware that March 14th, An's birthday, was fast approaching, but not for the reasons his mother was hoping. No, it was because March 14th was also White Day. Ritsu was both severely stressed and excited about it.
Ritsu planned on going on an aquarium date with his Senpai after school, thinking it'd be a little more special than their typical bookstore-pandaway combo. Not that Ritsu disliked this pattern at all! He just wanted to do something different for the holiday.
Then, they'd go back to Ritsu's house where the brunette would prepare dinner. His parents weren't going to be home since his dad always took his mother on a trip for White Day from the 14th to the 17th, so he figured it was the perfect time to finally invite Saga Senpai to his house! He had already started practicing cooking and baking the day after Valentine's Day. He figured he'd need as much practice as he could get, seeing as he had never done either of them before, but he was definitely improving!
Ritsu intended on making white chocolate chip cookies as a gift. Although his Senpai didn't particularly like sweets, it was tradition to give something white. So, he'd give the cookies in addition to some bitter dark chocolates that Saga was more likely to enjoy. Additionally, he'd give a white rose, since his Senpai had given him a red one and he thought it would be a sweet gesture to mirror. And...perhaps the most embarrassing and overkill gift idea of all: a jar full of paper origami stars that, when unfolded, have reasons he loves Saga written on them. His Senpai had asked him once before why he loved him and Ritsu simply didn't have the time or the courage to say all the reasons to his face, but he could definitely write them down!
"What do you plan on doing for her birthday?" Youko asked, interrupting Ritsu's thoughts about his string of plans.
"Oh, well, since it lands on a school day we were going to hangout over the weekend instead." Ritsu said. "But, I'm not really sure what to get her..." He admitted.
"Why don't you just spend time with her after school? It's not as special if you celebrate after her birthday's already passed. Plus, it's White Day. She did give you something on Valentine's day, didn't she?" Youko said. She recalled Ritsu coming home on Valentine's day, giddy and flushed as he held tupperware full of homemade chocolates. An was really such a sweet girl, going through the trouble of making the chocolates herself.
Ritsu felt a swirl of dread start to form in his stomach, recognizing his mother's tone. "Yes, but mother-"
"Its the polite and gentlemanly thing to do. Imagine; not spending White Day with your fiancée and to make matters worse, blowing off her birthday as well!" Youko said.
"Mother-"
"And as for what you can get her, I have a great idea." Youko smiled brightly. "Promise rings! Such a cute and meaningful gift, she'd love it." Youko continued.
"Anchan and I aren't a couple!" Ritsu did not mean to raise his voice, but his frustrations of being talked over got the best of him.
Youko's cheerful demeanor left her. "Don't be ridiculous, Ritsu. You and Anchan are a perfect match. She is a lovely, intelligent, kind girl from a fine background and she undoubtedly adores you. What more could you ask for?"
"Mother, I..." Ritsu trailed off and frowned. "I just-I don't like her that way!"
"You won't even give it a chance! Who could possibly be a better fit for you than Anchan?"
"I'm only fifteen, why do we have to start talking about marriage now?" Ritsu desperately wished his mother would let this go, but his mother was just as stubborn as he was.
"Because your future is important and should matter to you, Ritsu." Youko said. "You are spending White Day with Anchan and that's final. If you'd like, I can help you pick out a pair of promise rings." She offered, the happy tilt in her voice returning as she tried to force the conversation back on track.
Ritsu just mumbled something in assent in order to stop this awful conversation, fully intending on avoiding that little ring shopping trip. Let his mother believe that he would spend White Day with Anchan. What she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
Ritsu tried to act normal around his Senpai for the rest of the week, (well, his version of normal, which was already a certain level of nervousness) but he could hardly contain himself.
"You're being weird." Saga commented on March 12th. Exactly 1 day, 8 hours, 14 minutes and 25 seconds before 12 A.M. on White Day. Yes, Ritsu was counting.
"S-S-Sorry, I just-um-I-I had something I wanted to ask you." Okay, this was it, deep breaths Onodera, deep breaths. "I was wondering if you w-wanted to...spendWhiteDaywithme?" Ritsu squeezed his eyes shut tight as he waited for an answer.
"...What the hell?"
Well, that wasn't a good sign.
"I thought we were already spending White Day together." Saga said. "Or did you forget what you said?"
"N-n-no, of course not, the opposite actually, I've been thinking about White Day nonstop and what I should do, what would be a fun date, what sort of presents I should get you-"
Saga glanced around the library to make sure they were alone as Ritsu rambled before he cut him off with a gentle kiss.
Ritsu blinked a few times, dazed and completely embarrassed, but undeniably happy.
"So, tell me these ideas you've been thinking about 'nonstop'." Saga echoed.
"Well, I want some of it to be a surprise." Ritsu said after he managed to get his thoughts back in order. "But I thought it'd be fun if after school we went to an aquarium together and then...my house for dinner."
"Your house?" Saga was surprised to say the least, his normally stoic face for once betraying him.
"U-Unless that's not okay?" Ritsu said, automatically assuming the worst, as he typically did. "We don't have to go to my house, we can do something else-"
"No, you can't take back the offer now. I'm coming to your house." Saga said quickly. He was endlessly curious about Ritsu's home and more specifically Ritsu's room, so he'd be damned if he let this opportunity slip by him.
Ritsu smiled a little and nodded before he became shy. "And um...my parents won't be home...s-so..."
"Ahhhhh, I see. Who knew you were such a pervert?" Saga teased, but his straight face and serious tone gave no hint to his playfulness.
If it were possible for humans to combust into flames on the spot, Ritsu would have done so. The younger teen shook his head vehemently as he made frantic and wild hand gestures. "No! I-I didn't mean it like-I'm not-!"
"I was just messing with you." Saga smirked a little bit. Normally he didn't really joke around like this, but Ritsu's reactions were priceless. Even in the beginning of their relationship Saga would never say something like that, but Ritsu managed to get deeper and deeper into his heart every day and break down more and more walls.
Ritsu's whole face was red, including the very tips of his ears. He looked away out of embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Chu
Ritsu swore his body somehow heated up even more after Saga leaned forward to press a kiss on the back of his head.
"I'm looking forward to White Day. It'll be fun." Saga said. "I'm expecting to be impressed."
"Y-You're teasing me again." Ritsu complained.
'It's not my fault you make it so easy.' Saga thought.
White Day was sure to be fun this year and hopefully for many years to come.
...Or maybe not.
The day had started off fine, completely normal in fact. When Ritsu woke up his parents were already gone. They always left early in the morning.
Ritsu was completely exhausted. He had stayed up all night, excited and anxious about White Day, but Ritsu's exhaustion caused him to miss the small box and a note left for him in the kitchen.
It was such an innocent item with good intentions behind it.
It was a thoughtful gift that would surely be cherished.
It was going to ruin everything.
Ritsu had already made the cookies last night and had the dark chocolate, keeping both of them stored in his kitchen. He'd also purchased a white rose the previous day, telling his mother it was for Anchan when she asked about it. It probably didn't help to feed into the insane fantasy his mother had, but he didn't have any other excuses. The jar of stars was also hidden in his room underneath his bed. He'd spent at least 4 or 5 days making them all. He planned on giving Saga these gifts in privacy later today.
As the day went on, Ritsu started to think that maybe it would have been better for him just to cut class since he wasn't able to focus at ALL! An agonizing 7 hours later and he was released from his class, hurrying out front where he and Saga had agreed to meet after school.
Ritsu beat the older teen to the entrance, waiting for him as patiently as he could, unable to contain his bright smile once he saw him
'Damn it, why does he have to smile at me like that? I don't know if I'm going to survive today.' Saga thought as he walked over. "Hey."
"Hi, Senpai! H-Happy White Day..." Ritsu said, the latter half coming out a little quieter so no passing students would hear.
"No gift?" Saga didn't actually care about a present, excited to just spend the afternoon with Ritsu, but he couldn't pass the opportunity to mess with him.
"S-Senpai, don't tease me!" Ritsu complained with a pout. Shit, that expression wasn't good for Saga's heart. "They're at my house. But come on, let's go!" Ritsu's excitement returned to him quickly as he set off. Saga followed.
The aquarium was a little busy, so it didn't give Saga many opportunities to sneak attack Ritsu with PDA, but he still enjoyed himself. Of course, he watched Ritsu more than he watched the actual animals, but it was still a good choice for a date spot.
When they finally did have a moment alone, Saga reached out, gently taking Ritsu's hand into his. "Thanks for bringing me here."
Ritsu blushed, but felt electrified by the touch. "Of course, Senpai. I'm glad you're having fun." He smiled.
Saga couldn't deny he was enjoying himself, but what he was REALLY looking forward to was finally being in Ritsu's house! He had his own preconceived notions about Ritsu and how he lived, so he was curious about how right or wrong he was. And the hormonal teenager in him wanted to do it in Ritsu's bed.
But, when they finally left the aquarium and arrived at Ritsu's home, Saga wished that he had jumped into a damn fish tank instead.
Sitting on his Kouhai's porch was the girl who had given Ritsu chocolate on Valentine's day.
"Richan!" She stood when spotting them, looking angry. "Where have you been?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"A-Anchan? What are you doing here?" Ritsu asked, genuinely confused.
"Didn't your mother talk to you? She called my mother and set up for us to spend the day together! For my birthday! We were supposed to meet after school, but you never showed so I came here, but you obviously weren't home." She frowned and crossed her arms.
"No! My mother didn't tell me anything about this." Ritsu said, going up to the front door and taking out his house key to unlock it.
Saga cleared his throat.
"Oh-uh-Anchan, this is Saga Masamune, Saga Senpai, this is Kohinata An." Ritsu hastily introduced them. Crap, this was bad, this was so bad!
"I think I recognize you...you and Richan hang out together at the library, right?" An said.
"Hai." Saga responded blandly.
"Well, it's nice to meet you." An said politely.
"Same." Saga looked away from her and An decided to ignore his rudely aloof nature. A friend of Richan's was a friend of hers, after all.
"Um, well, come in I guess..." Ritsu said before going inside, Anchan following.
What. The. Fuck. This girl already had her chance on Valentine's Day and, according to Ritsu, was rejected. Now she was going to interrupt White Day too? Saga was absolutely pissed, though he tried not to let it show as he walked inside.
"Um, I was going to make dinner, if you want to sit in the living room and relax..." Ritsu said awkwardly. He was with his two favorite people, so this shouldn't have been as bad as it was, but oh boy was it terrible.
"I'll help!" An offered with a smile.
Ritsu tried to insist that it was okay and that she was a guest and that she didn't have to, but An ignored him and marched into the kitchen. Ritsu couldn't do much other than shoot Saga an apologetic look before following her. Saga decided to trail behind him, not wanting the girl to have even a moment of alone time with HIS boyfriend.
"Hey, Richan, what's this?" An said, regarding the box on the table.
"Oh, I don't know. I guess my parents left it this morning before they left." Ritsu picked up the note and started to read it. His mother detailed the plans she had set up for An and Ritsu today in the note and also explained that inside the box was...
"Rings? Are these what I think they are Richan?" An asked after opening the box, her curiosity having gotten the better of her. She plucked the note out of Ritsu's hands, the boy frozen in terror as he realized what was happening. "They are! Promise rings! I'll have to thank your mother for getting them for us, they're so cute! Let's put them on!" An beamed.
SNAP
Saga turned and stormed out of the kitchen, Ritsu breaking out of his shock when he heard the front door open and slam shut.
Ritsu quickly ran after Saga, ignoring An's concern as she followed him out. "Senpai, wait!" He called after him, somehow managing to catch up.
"What the fuck, Ritsu?!" Saga whipped around to face him. Oh God, Ritsu had never seen him so angry. "You told me she was just a friend, that you rejected her!"
"She is! I did!" Ritsu insisted. "She's just a friend!"
"Then why the hell is your mom buying the two of you fucking promise rings?! On fucking White Day too!"
Ritsu started to tear up, but he couldn't cry. He needed to explain everything before he lost the person he loved. If he started crying then he wouldn't be able to get a word out.
"W-We're in an arranged marriage." He admitted, feeling so ashamed for not telling his Senpai the truth earlier. "But I don't like An like that! Its a fantasy created by our parents and I've told my mother over and over again that I won't go through with it! A-An and I are not a couple and we're not getting married!" Ritsu insisted.
'Please, please, please believe me, he has to believe me, please.' Ritsu silently begged.
Saga looked between Ritsu and An, who was standing on the porch. He clenched his jaw, shaking his head and refusing to meet Ritsu's eyes. "Looks like you're the only one who thinks that way." He turned and walked off again, Ritsu staring helplessly as he did. The image of his Senpai blurred with tears before they finally started to fall.

akito headcanons
Ok here's a few I came up with because I already dumped a ton into a different ask
- not to the level of the zodiac but the various animals did have a level of draw to her since she was God. Got super paranoid after Kureno's curse broke about the birds and started carrying around birdseed to entice them but now all the estate birds see her and are like :) the bearer of tasties :) and that's why they'll land on her hand and stuff.
-has trouble remembering her father's face and that's why it's always blanked out in the flashbacks. Ren took pretty much all of the good photos of him.
-While cursed she'd sometimes get a tiny offhand memory fragment that wasn't hers, or know something from long ago that she shouldn't. Just very, very minor echoes from the God spirit but they made her feel really weird and more distanced from reality/her identity.
-one time fell asleep lounging with her arm out the window and got a sunburn on her hand
-liked to sometimes patrol around the estate like a little creep but when she sensed someone she'd pause where she was so it looks like she'd been there the whole time. This has gotten to the point that sometimes it seemed like she could teleport but no just a snoop with nothing to do all day.
-tries to go out more postcanon but has to take a little hat or parasol because she doesn't like the sun
- because she's short-ish and androgynous when she starts going out more she gets temporarily mistaken as a highschool boy sometimes from afar even into her late 20s. Dies a little inside every time.
- does not grasp how hot she is after spending her entire life cooped up almost exclusively with other hot ppl. Vaguely knows she's attractive but also looks like someone she hates and has conflicted feelings about the fact that she was passed off as a boy for so long. Paranoid that people somehow sense evil vibes on her because strangers look at her like 😳.
-Met Mine through Hanajima who knew her from the play and hangs out with her several times before learning that she's Ayame's gf
- one time when she was young she secretly thought she and Yuki might be related
-forgot Ritsu existed like twice
-watched Mogeta before it was cool
-jealous of Ayame's talisman
-cologne and perfume give her headaches
-gets invited to a girls movie night for the first time by the 🌸🐟🍙 trio and is like ah yes my friends I will show my affection for them and then lies down across their laps because she doesn't entirely grasp what the social norms for physical contact are. Thing is those 3 are also weirdos and don't care.
-sounds grumpier than she actually is half the time because she pitches her voice down
-when Tohru moves away Hana starts hanging around the estate with her and intimidates the fuck out of the stuffy old Sohma without even trying
-paints her nails black sometimes postcanon because of Hana but it's usually chipped because she picks at them and doesn't re paint often
-listen. You know the loose open front button down look? It's just like a translation of how she wears her kimono. Let postcanon Akito wear the tits out fit.
-whenever she's really trying to be nice she accidentally half mimics Tohru's speech patterns/tone.
-tired of getting asked if she's ok by well meaning middle aged ladies that see her out in the wilds. Not helped by the fact that she has an instinctive apprehension for older women that she perceives as parent-ish.
-thinks female hysteria is an actual disease
-used to collect embarrassing "blackmail" photos of the zodiac and just pull out the album and be like ohhoho look at this bad picture I have of you isn't it stupid hehe and then the zodiac member would have to be like 😑 yes Akito. That's why she wanted the dumb festival picture of Yuki and Kyo.
-filed her nails into points like claws from ages 12-15
-was one of those ppl who is like "oh so you don't want me to mess with (dangerous weapon)?) *starts listing off how to turn all the household items in the room deadly.*
-does a few destructive fidgety things like chewing on pencil ends when she's writing or ripping pieces off of paper
-if she'd been raised a girl her name would have been Tsubaki
-during canon she owns one pair of shoes, mostly because she doesn't go places but also she just doesn't like wearing shoes.
-actually has a really nice smile when she's being genuine

Mob Psycho Characters Playing Minecraft (Headcanons)
Shigeo
He starts with creative mode, just to get the gist of it, before finally heading into survival but on peaceful. Then he’ll do survival easy mode and just stay on that tier forever, until he feels more confident to up his game a little higher.
Only played because Telepathy club was playing and he heard the word “Mob” and was like; “Did you call me?” and the club goes “nah fam, it Minecraft.” “what’s Minecraft.” Boom he plays.
Most likely to have a farm with a lot of cows
Has a dirt house/villager’s house on the first night and stops at just that.
Not much of a great builder
Takes forever to get diamonds
Dies often, but not too much. Just often enough for him to lose a few good iron pickaxes.
Always goes to bed once it’s night.
Most likely to have a pet cat
He just plays for fun, when he’s bored and stuff. So he doesn’t go as far as to defeating the ender dragon. He’ll travel to the nether though, just for potion making
But he does play a heck more when Teru’s around, or when the Telepathy club invites him.
He awaits for a frog update
Reigen
Jumps into survival hardcore right off the bat after watching one play through
Most likely to have a villager colony and farm
Makes a wooden house with windows and stuff on the first night with a furnace and a crafting table and a bed. The essentials. But he won’t stay in one house often and will move a lot
He can build, but he’s pretty amateur at it, he’s a fast learner though so he could easily replicate houses he see online
He’s the type of guy that never stops mining until he finds diamonds, which means he makes sure he’s at 13-11y in coordinates, has a shit ton of extra pickaxes, and stacks upon stacks of torches. Once he finds them goodies, he heads on home and repeats the cycle
He’ll defeat the ender dragon if he’s bored enough or when someone challenges/pays him to.
Same goes with The Wither
Will skip Minecraft sleep very often and will only go to bed when the phantom starts attacking
Most likely to have many many pet dogs, each one of them have name tags.
When he dies, he gets mad for a few hours, then jumps right back in. He doesn’t die all that often though, so he won’t rage quit.
He gets the minecraft books later on and you can see him reading it under his table time to time
Ritsu
He starts off with easy or normal without much knowledge on the game, probably only played because Shigeo introduced him to or Shou bugged him about it.
He’ll have a farm, but just for resources. Won't have much animals, mostly crops. He’ll live next to a village if there is one.
His first house will also be a dirt house, he’ll improve it overtime and add more levels and decorations. It can get very pretty in the end and he’ll be content to just stay and keep adding more to his house.
Not the best builder, but good enough for people to compliment it. He feels especially proud when Shigeo likes them, so he’s keen on building better and more.
He plans before he mines, calculates how many torches he needs and plans out what he’s exactly looking for, even calculates how many hunger bars each food item will fill before taking it with him.
If he gets really into the game, he’ll defeat the ender dragon, wither and head on into the nether. Not in that order though.
Will sleep if he doesn’t need to do anything
Most likely to have pets, perhaps a cat, or a dog, or a parrot. Only one though.
When he dies, he accepts it and moves on. Though, that would rarely happen.
Recently got into a forced Minecraft marriage with Shou. Is it forced if he enjoyed it though?
Teru
This bitch really just gonna jump right into survival just to flex on Shigeo.
Duh, of course he’ll have a farm. Will probably talk to the animals.
His first house is either borrowed from a villager or built with wood, but it’ll definitely not be a simple ass wooden house. It will be a nice fucking mansion, just watch him, he will. He’ll fight all the mobs he needs to just to built this mansion right off the bat, doesn’t even care if the first night he sleeps roofless.
Really good at building, because he wants to compete with Ritsu for fun and boast about it to Shigeo. Shigeo would just clap and be like “Wow so cool.”
“Thanks, made it myself, I can make one for you.” Shigeo declines, he’s an independent man, which makes Teru a mixture of disappointment and oh-my-god-you’re-adorable???
He doesn't plan when he mines, he just estimates and half ass some stuff before he struts into the cave. Sometimes he gets lost, but that’s perfectly fine.
Will defeat every mob boss and mob ever to show Shigeo he’s very powerful.
Doesn’t sleep, fights the phantom instead. Will sleep if Shigeo asks him to.
Most likely to have a pet cat, but he doesn’t mind dogs.
When he dies, he’s an angry baby and makes up some excuse as to why he’s dead. “I was distracted, didn’t see the lava. Whoops I guess ha ha no big deal.” But it is a big deal, he lost his diamonds, he wants to give it to his boyfriend but he cannot. Because he died.
Has yet to marry Shigeo in Minecraft.
Shou
Plays because he is a gamer. Survival hardcore ftw. He only plays multiplayer with Ritsu these days, never single player because he has been playing Minecraft his whole childhood and it gets boring on his own.
What’s a fucking farm? I take my food from my Minecraft husband.
Sleeps in a cave, but if Ritsu’s done with the house, he joins his bed with him and sleeps under a roof.
But he’s really really good at building, probably the best next to Serizawa. If you gave him the resources and time, he can recreate Seasoning City.
A concerning miner, jumps in with just torches and a pickaxe and somehow still survives (mostly because Ritsu always goes looking for him)
Could probably easily defeat the bosses because he has already done it so many times
Will only sleep when Ritsu is, which is almost all the time.
He owns every kind of animal.
He dies too many times because he really doesn’t mind, it makes Ritsu mad and that’s what keeps him going.
Shou was suffocated in sand.
“S H O U.” Ritsu yells at the boy next to him.
Was the one that proposed to Ritsu, invited everyone to the wedding; including Serizawa and Reigen.
Serizawa
Played while he was still hiding in his home, so he knows everything about the game when he finally played it with Reigen or the kids.
He loves farming, even the animals, it’s oddly calming to take care of something that won’t die unless he hits em.
He always collects resources first before he actually starts building a home, so he always sleeps in a cave or a villager’s house.
After years of experience, he became really good at building, he use to spend time recreating maps from other games. But he says Shou is better than him, the boy disagrees.
Yeah he mines, but he’s wary of dying when he heads into the cave, so he always brings too many torches. 
Makes sure he is very very prepared before defeating bosses
Always sleeps in time, because Reigen said so. Well, because Reigen advised it, what a hypocrite am I right?
Doesn’t have pets, and even if he does, he always make them stay put at one place.
Doesn’t die all that often, almost not at all.
He pretends to not be good at the game when Reigen’s around, he mostly lets the other do what they wanna do because he loves watching his husband play.
“Serizawa! Look, I made the zombie villager back into a villager!” Reigen pointed, Serizawa smiles and nods. He already knew how to do that, but Reigen’s discovery makes it feel he discovered something new himself.
Tome
Bro this woman is so experienced to a point everyone consults her for tips.
She’s building up to find aliens in minecraft, even though they don’t exist, but she’s convinced they’re an easter egg or something.
No, she doesn’t farm. She takes em from the villagers, but she has a few beehives here and there.
She’s only mining to find diamonds as a peace offering to minecraft aliens.
One time she thought the Wither was an alien.
One time, she thought the phantom was an alien.
One time she thought the ghast was an alien.
Has died multiple times because she is careless, but she is never upset about it. Always jumps right back into the game immediately.
Parrots are her pets, because they f l y and d a n c e.
One time she thought the creepers were aliens.
She has this summoning circle made of redstone and torches in case there really are aliens.
She believes in herobrine and sometimes tries to summon him.
She thinks the aliens made the temples in minecraft.
Other Characters
Minegishi has so many bees and flowers and crops it’s almost covering the whole map.
Takenaka plays because it’s very quiet and calming
Shimazaki cannot play. He is blind.
Shou’s old resistance team use to play with him, now they sometimes play together as a trio when Shou is playing with Ritsu.
Mukai and Tsuchi play because Mukai wanted to, she has a lot of armor stands in her house.
Tsubomi does not play, she played once and didn’t enjoy it all that much, but she’s perfectly happy watching her friends play.
Emi roleplays in minecraft.
Mezato doesn’t play, but she likes watching minecraft videos on youtube, mostly the theories.
Everyone in the awakening lab plays, Kurosaki is fantastic at mining because she always knows which way are the mobs and which way are the diamonds. Asahi is an arsonist.
Minori once got invited by Shigeo to play, then she proceeded to buy minecraft and everything in it to impress him. Shigeo only congratulated her once. Contemplating buying the whole of Mojang, but she’s a good girl now so she won’t.
Hoshida plays to impress Tome. Too bad, son, she’s not into you.

Pepsi Coke Part 4
minific, serirei, aaaaa
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
----
Setting his phone down, Reigen paused, suddenly realizing the state of his apartment. He nearly dropped Pepsi Coke in despair. It would take hours to get the place looking even decent!
But he tried nonetheless, scrambling this way and that, picking up trash, tidying counters, collecting the laundry strewn about, sweeping up crumbs...
A knock came at the door just as he emptied the dustpan into the garbage. Setting it down, Reigen went to the door, going to adjust his tie, when he remembered what he was wearing: dirty slacks, a wrinkled and untucked button down, an untied tie with a grease stain... but he didn't have time! Serizawa was already waiting on the other side of the door. Reigen opened the door as casually as he could.
"Hi!" said Serizawa. He seemed... excited?
"Hey," said Reigen, trying to smile and ignore his embarrassing state of wardrobe. "Come in," he moved to the side so Serizawa could pass by.
Serizawa smiled and stepped by Reigen into the apartment. He smelled faintly of... roses, was it? Or maybe peonies. Reigen couldn't quite place it, but it was something soft and nice.
Reigen closed the door as Serizawa removed his shoes, setting them neatly to the side.
"I brought some things for Pepsi Coke," he said, handing a plastic bag to Reigen.
"Oh! Thanks." He had forgotten that was why Serizawa was there in the first place! He'd gotten caught up in his thoughts while he had cleaned; it had been some time since Serizawa last came over...
"Right! So I'll just set this down and then I'll get you something to drink." He gestured towards the little kitchen area as he moved. "There's that diet soda Ritsu didn't want, unfortunately no milk, water, obviously..." he trailed off, realizing he didn't have much to offer.
"I uh actually brought some tea, if you want?"
"Of course! Tea!" Reigen snapped his fingers. "Tea is great! I love tea. What kind of tea is it?" This was just going downhill fast. He could feel his face heating up.

"Just bottled green tea." Serizawa moved to get the bottles from the bag.
"I'll grab some glasses!" Reigen was glad for an excuse to turn his face away. Not that fumbling with the cupboard was much better...
He awkwardly placed the two glasses onto the table. Taking a bottle, he began to shakily pour the tea into one of the cups. It was uncomfortably quiet. "So! How's your mom?"
"She's doing well," Serizawa smiled, "and thanks again for letting me have the time off."
"Of course! It was nothing. Not a problem at all!" The cup nearly overflowed as he waved his free hand wildly.
"Hey." A worried look came across Serizawa's face, as he gently took the bottle of tea from Reigen. "Is everything okay?"
Reigen went stone cold.
"I mean I don't want to be rude, but..." Serizawa gestured vaguely towards Reigen. "You look a bit different from when I last saw you, and you're acting a little strangely..." Serizawa's voice grew quiet as he trailed off, averting his gaze. "I don't mean to overstep any boundaries, I just want to make sure you're okay."
Reigen just kinda stood there, not knowing what to say. I mean, how was he supposed to respond to that? Oh yeah let me just tell him how Pepsi made a fool of me on day one, how Ritsu is ungrateful and snide, how everyone ignored me the past three days, how I haven't slept for more than an hour uninterrupted, how difficult it's been without him there but now that he's in front of me it's difficult too but in a different way -- how am I supposed to explain it's because he smelled nice when he walked past, because he smiled gently when I opened the door, because he straightened my shoes when he set his next to mine, because his hand was warm when he took the bottle from me --
"Sorry for asking, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Serizawa put a hand to the back of his neck, glancing around the apartment. "So! Where's Pepsi Coke?"

"I'll go uh look for him..." He felt like he was just about ready to die. Why did he just clam up like that! Reigen touched his cheeks. They were most certainly not cold!!
Serizawa poured the second glass of tea and sipped it, looking worriedly after Reigen. Maybe I shouldn't have spent so much time away, thought Serizawa, or at least texted him more often these past few days. To think if something terrible happened and I wasn't there...
Reigen was kneeling on the floor, looking under the armchair.
"There you are!" He coaxed and beckoned for a full minute, to no avail. Naturally! Reigen thought. Because there wasn't enough going wrong for me already! Serizawa came to see the kitten and without the kitten there's no reason for him to be here... Reigen desparately patted the floor one more time. Pepsi Coke, crouched in the corner, stared him straight in the eye, not moving an inch.
Serizawa laid a hand on Reigen's shoulder (which caused him to flinch a little; he hadn't noticed Serizawa walk over!). Handing a glass of tea to him, Serizawa said, "it's okay if he's not ready to meet me. Let's just give him some space and enjoy our tea."
Reigen swore that smile could bring the most stoic man to tears. In fact, his eyes were feeling rather watery...

Tears rolled down Reigen's cheeks, as he took the glass.
Serizawa's expression immediately changed. "Oh my god, what's wrong? Was it something I said?" He knelt down next to Reigen, putting a hand on his back.
"It's just," Reigen sniffled, "it's just been rough..." Hot tears splashed quietly into his tea.
"Here," Serizawa said, helping him up. "Why don't we sit down and you can tell me everything."
