Akello, I am sorry for bullying you when we were kids. You were just an easy target. It wasn't personal.
You were (and still are) a massive nerd and a sycophant. You wear glasses for fuck's sake. And you had a crush on my sister (who you also later married)
It is not my fault that you were like that.
But I'm sorry that I made your anxiety worse or whatever

ROUND 1 MATCH 128
Akello propaganda:
“Tri City Monsters is a VN in development and scheduled to come out next year that's free to play and I think will be released chapter by chapter. Akello was in a car accident with his college-age son and as they were drowning, Akello made a deal with a demon so his son would be saved. Due to this demon deal, Akello became a slime monster and had to spend time regaining his human form. Everyone believes that Akello died in the accident, and he has been hiding from his son - even though he's keeping tabs on the kid. He can't stop being a dad. Akello is kind and responsible (although he used to party hard when he was younger) and a true scientist, always testing and experimenting with his new form. He's also on the run because he is skipping out on the demon deal and demon Enforcers are after him. (BTW, Tri City Monsters is an 18+ game).”
Ashe propaganda:
“He is so sweet and chivalrous. He used to be a thief to provide for his family until he was caught, then the person who caught him adopted him so he didn't have to be the sole provider for his siblings. Now he gets to go to school and wants to be a knight like in the storybooks. He also loves to cook and some of his supports with other characters in the kitchen are so cute. The ending with the main character says that they became inseparable and regardless of which route/house was chosen, a big part of their future together is helping support those who are less fortunate and rebuilding the world together.”

The morning after telling Akello about Akuji.
Tiny story about Akello from @tricitymonsters and my oc Mateo
Mateo was already awake long before his lover emerged from his small bedroom. He didn't need to turn to sense Akello standing awkwardly in the kitchen's doorway, filling it with his wide shoulders, like a perfect puzzle piece completing the whole picture.
It already hurt him to know Akello was about to speak to him so he distracted himself by sipping his coffee. But the words "Hi sweets." made him face the man, surprised, because it was said so carefully.
"Morning" he said back, after getting his eyes focused on anything else than his face. "There's more coffee on the counter and some bacon and eggs on the plate in the fridge."
"You're awake awfully early." Akello mused taking a seat right across from him, ignoring what he had just said about breakfast.
'So it begins,' the giddy voice in his head laughed at his crumbling facade to be angry. He ignores it.
"Never really been able to sleep past 4am. The leg usually starts to hurt like clockwork and when I wake up, Akuji doesn't shut up either."
He finally lifted his gaze to the man sitting in front of him Akello didn't say anything like he already knew that long enough silence would do his work for him, and he was right.
It was of course only the second time Mateo had ever mentioned the demon's name out loud, but he forced the word out like a bad taste.
'Less hiding, more talking, we are secret no more. Now let's show him and you open up my door.' Akuji's voice sings to Mateo in whisper like a lullaby but it only makes him bristle and hiss to it.
The sudden sound makes Akello jump a little, even if he had watched Mateo's face the whole time and seeing the hollow gaze that came upon them.
"Did he speak to you?" Akello asked, immediately interested in seeing this new exchange between Mateo and the other one. When they had talked about this last night his first thought had been that it was just a multiple personality disorder. But seeing this would be an insensitive topic for Mateo, Akello didn't wanna push too hard on it.
Mateo was now covering his face, mumbling under his breath things that might have been curse words or nothing at all. Akello lifted his hand carefully from the table and touched Mateo's face, feeling him stiffen he gently took hold of his jaw and lifted it so they were again seeing eye to eye.
"You can talk to me, you know," Akello smiled. "Just focus on me and don't mind the other one."
"Its not like I could ever shut him up." Mateo said trying to not push himself away again. "He doesn't like you, you know?"
Akello blinked in surprise but was happy he got him to talk. "You or the dog?" He asked, making Mateo snort.
He was hesitant but keeping secrets for 6 years would make anyone hesitate to tell about you had a second form and a second mind inside your head. So he ignored the growling he was hearing and let his head rest against Akello's large hand holding his cheek and keeping him in the moment.
"You remember how we met?
"In the alleyway and I had accidentally broken your leg. Yeah I'm still sorry about all that." Akello was sincere even now feeling bad he might have accidentally broken Mateo's already bad leg, making it even worse.
"When you flung us... I mean me up to the rooftops. Akuji was too stunned to say a word for two whole hours."
"Yeah, I've made you speechless too." Akello grinned but Mateo shook his head.
"It's not just that, Akello. He doesn't like you because you made us both forget our contract."
"You said something about heartbeat, right? That it was what would trigger Akuji if you were in danger?"
Mateo nodded. "Akuji works like an airbag in a car accident. He is always ready if my life is threatened or I get jumped in a dark street."
'You can't deny that I keep us alive.' He nodded again like it had been Akello speaking and not the demon.
"He's angry because he didn't have the chance to save me that time. And when you showed up he was even more confused about who to fight against."
"So he doesn't want to lose control over the situation." Akello answered, now knowing more and more about Mateo and his friend he had yet not seen. Then a thought occurred to him, making his mouth twitch up just a tiny bit. "What about during sex?"
Mateo flushed even darker, his eyes focusing and unfocusing, mind fighting itself over words that Akello didn't hear, but when his lover finally let out a sigh he knew who had won.
"His only argument is that we are supposed to be on top."
And that if anything made them both laugh like nothing ever would.

it's really no surprise that the human embodiment of a dark gray rain cloud is in another bad mood. pessimism seems to have consumed elliot, eyes blank with lips drawn in a detached expression. he'd say he'd rather be anywhere else but here, but that'd be a lie. truth be told elliot only feels comfort within the walls of his apartment. everywhere else, he feels out of place. but he's trying this new thing called 'being there for your friends'. he's not that good at it. brown hues flicker towards his friend, the only person he knows at this party, and he presses his lips into a thin line. ‟ i'm good right now. ” lie. ‟ but just let me know when you're ready to go. ” ― @fruitpoem

it’s his usual spot, with his usual drink and his usual music flowing into his ears as he sits with a stack of papers; half graded, half yet to be looked at. he can feel a gaze, causing him to look up and meet her familiar eyes. “ hi. ” + @anoetics
