#before Subaru's arrival
Text
Fourier never appeared in the main series, but man, he's actually really funny. Absolutely like Subaru in his behavior but less cringe that stems from realism and second-hand embarrassment. Just friends being friends
Since I got my hands on that EX novel, I'm gonna pitch some moments of him so he's at least remembered if his name is brought up. I'll include some pictures for reference, and won't include the whole thing to avoid spoilers
1. This one can be found on the wiki as is: he fell in love with Crusch at first sight, but the moment she saw him, she threatened him with a knife in his own house—she then proceeded to almost attempt suicide for her mistake
2. He's so much like Subaru. He's loud, brash, in love with a girl at first sight, has small worries that he blows out of proportion unless they're absolutely important and life-changing like impending death, falls to his knees in anime-style sulking when told he's not as manly/strong as he wants to be to the girl he likes...
3. After seeing Crusch, you see how there's a guy chasing him in the first picture? That's his tutor. Fourier proceeded to slap him in the face ("MY EYE!!" screamed in comical fashion), drag him down a hall, and make him hit his head on every column and wall in existence
4. In the second picture, where Crusch holds a dagger, Fourier backtracks over it a lot like Subaru would
Fourier: Who would give their daughter a dagger on their birthday? They've no sense.
Crusch: Your Highness, I asked for this dagger from my father as a gift that day.
Fourier: Yep! Your father's the most sensible man ever! Daggers, wonderful gifts to young girls, they are!
5. That illustration of him and Crusch in a sword fight? He did that so Crusch would wear a dress.
Crusch sees him about to fall over like a shaking fawn, pathetic with trembling legs and supporting himself on his sword. He's exhausted and wanting to pass out or cry, and Crusch is like "Should we stop?"
And Fourier is all "NO!" and charges in with war cries the entire time.
"YAAAAAHHHH! CRUUUSCH! WEAR A DRESSS!!!"
I crap not, that's all he shouted, and it kinda scared Crusch.
"Wear makeup! Like flowers! Wear jewelry! Show me that beautiful smileeee!!! Uwaaaaaa!!!"
That's his motivation. It's hilarious and also sad, because he knows he probably hurt Crusch a lot for not letting her wear dresses. He's so exhausted by the end of it that he literally passes out on the ground after Crusch cedes it's her defeat
6. He didn't know Ferris was a boy. So when he had Ferris pose as his fiancee after Crusch couldn't so he could turn down his marriage prospect,
He did so, thinking Ferris was a girl. He only found out afterwards.
Also, before they actually went through with the plan, Fourier was raring to pretend being Crusch's lover, and getting all flustered at the idea. Imagine servant Subaru being all blushy over going on a date with Emilia and wiggling around. Not very different
"M-Me... and Crusch..!!"
"Compose yourself, my prince!"
- Fourier and Ferris, off of memory
7. The castle rumored that Fourier was gay, because he declared he loved Ferris, no matter his gender.
"As long as you're you..!"
Which is really sweet (how Fourier loves him). Still, Ferris worried he hated him after the reveal.
Ferris and Crusch are discussing this new rumor as Ferris is afraid of confronting Fourier after he learned he was a male... then His Highness comes barreling in, basically screaming and crying
"Crusch! Ferris! It's horrible, oh so horrible! I need you two now through the worst struggle of my life! Where are my two trusted people?!"
Because he literally just heard the rumor himself.
I think he was afraid that Crusch wouldn't love him if she thought he was batting for the other team, and that's why he stressed over the rumor? He also feared Crusch not liking him if he got fat
He's so fricken funny and this is just from me skimming the book. I haven't sat down to read it through, but just by skimming, Fourier and Subaru behave so similarly that it's just- my gosh.
Do Ferris and Crusch look at Subaru and think of the prince? When Subaru shouted and disrupted the Royal Selection gathering, and Julius probably saw Joshua, did those two see Fourier?
Granted, Fourier is more wise and composed than Subaru, and probably would've been more graceful about his interruptions, but the shouting of what he wants and thinks when riled up? The "wisdom" (knowledge) that comes out of nowhere, which both Fourier and Subaru have? (Fourier from instinct, Subaru from Return By Death)
Fourier wanted so badly to let Crusch be a woman, and fawned over her beauty and just wanted her to enjoy typical things of women. Subaru kicks his blanket like it's personally assaulting him, just thinking of multiple Emilias as he tries to sleep, and isn't afraid of showing his affection throughout the entire series
On the point of affection, neither of them are afraid of showing it to people they care about. Subaru braids hair, plays with kids, compliments outfits and smiles, Fourier hugs and tells his dreams of futures with his friends and has dances with them, etc.
(They even have the penchant of acting like things are fine to Julius by not telling him anything before they literally collapse in front of him [Fourier in a carriage, Subaru being possessed], leaving Julius to deal with them when things go south)
(On that note, it's sweet that Julius always calls for Ferris when someone is hurting, because he knows who can help best)
Anyway, Fourier? Funny kid. Resembles Subaru. Parallels can probably be drawn from them. Is important to the development of Crusch and Ferris, so it's not bad to remember him. The history of the royal family should come into play when regarding the Archbishop of Lust and Felt, too.
#spoilers#fourier lugunica#a fun kid#has the potential for a lot of analysis#crusch karsten#ferris argyle#felix argyle#ferris#rezero#re:zero#re zero#EX Novel 1#(i think)#before Subaru's arrival#minor character to the main story but a major one to the ex novel#not much else for me to add on to that i can think of#julius juukulius#images#since i skimmed it i might be wrong that subaru and fourier are similar#but i still think parallels can be drawn. like RBD and the intuition of the royal family#maybe felt has that? she chose tonchinkan for their talent?#unsure i cant remember why she took them in#natsuki subaru#lugunica#royal family#ex novel#anyway

Day 28 - Prompt: Weak @wolfstarmicrofic
January Daily Series - 623 words
<<<Previous Part OR Start Here
Remus fidgeted in the seat Sirius had gestured to when they arrived at his flat after the pub. Neither were pissed, but they definitely weren’t sober either. Their snogging session in the backseat of Lily’s powder blue Subaru was proof of that. She’d told them off twice before dumping them at the kerb outside of his building and calling him a weak-kneed simp.
“Are you sure we shouldn’t wait until tomorrow?” he asked, rubbing his sweaty palms against his jeans.
Sirius reappeared from the kitchen with shears in hand. “Why? Did you change your mind?”
“No, but when you asked to come home with me, I wasn’t expecting a haircut.”
A sly grin slid over Sirius’s face as he crossed the room. Immediately, Remus knew he shouldn’t have said anything. There was little chance of that grin meaning anything good.
“Oh? And why did you think that I wanted to come home with you?” he asked. Sirius tucked his hands behind his back and aimed an innocent expression at him filled with wide eyes, pouting lips, and entirely too much eyelash fluttering to be genuine.
“Now wait, I don’t expect sex or anything. It just seemed like you wanted to keep snogging. Or did I misunderstand?”
Sirius shrugged as he came to a stop in front of Remus, bumping into his knees. He reached out and ruffled Remus’s curls with one hand. “I’m open to more snogging, but this is a mess.”
“It’ll still be a mess in the morning,” Remus pointed out. “But we won’t be tipsy then.”
“Oh. You want me to stay the night?”
Remus blinked slowly, then frowned. “Well, yes? Why wouldn’t I want you to stay?”
“You didn’t ask me to.” Sirius tapped Remus’s nose playfully as the sly grin returned. “So, how was I supposed to know that?”
“Fair, but I do…want you to stay.”
“You’re sure?”
Fuck yes.
What Remus wasn’t sure of was where this was going, but Sirius’s mischievous expression was warning enough. He’d seen a little of Sirius’s “chaos” first-hand, but the stories he’d overheard at the pub suggested he proceed with caution when Sirius had that look in his eyes. However, his brain short-circuited when Sirius leaned in.
“Yes.”
“And where am I going to sleep tonight, Remus?” Sirius asked, tossing the shears on the dining table next to him. He planted his hands on the back of the chair beside Remus’s shoulders. “I can’t say that your sofa looks all that comfortable.”
Remus cleared his throat as he actively fought the urge to drown in the absurdly bright blue depths of Sirius’s eyes. This was a trap. He could see it, smell it, and practically taste it. The temptation to kiss Sirius to cover that base too was stronger than he cared to admit.
Don’t say “my bed.” I don’t need those images in my head right now and I’ll sound like a twypsn.
There had to be a correct answer here, but for the life of him, Remus couldn’t find it. His flat was tiny and options were pretty limited
“I’ll take the sofa,” he said finally, swallowing hard. “You can stay in my room.”
“Really? You would sleep on the sofa?” Sirius sounded as incredulous as he looked.
Remus nodded and determinedly looked away from Sirius’s entirely-too-kissable lips. “Of course. I want you to feel comfortable here.”
Sirius pressed his thumb into the cleft of Remus’s chin and tucked his index finger underneath, then he turned Remus’s face until their eyes met again. The touch was gentle, but firm. He narrowed his gaze momentarily as he searched Remus’s face.
“Who the fuck are you Remus Lupin-”
“What?”
“-and how are you real?” Sirius continued, shaking his head in awe.

Canadian Wonders (Jessie Fleming x Reader)
Warnings: None
A/N: This is so cute my heart melts for jessie
Prompt: Reader is australian, and has never seen a lot of snow before. So Jessie takes her to her home town to meet her family and have a traditional Canadian winter.
When you’ve lived in the land down under for 20 years, and then move to play for a huge club like Chelsea at 21, a lot of things take adjusting. But somehow, it wasn’t the intense training, or the new people, that was the biggest adjustment. It was the weather. You never went to university, not being a big scholar and being raised in a broken home with little money. Instead, you opted to go pro right away. You went pro in 2020, and was relieved to know you would have another aussie at the club with you. You and Sam Kerr had been playing together since you were 15 and she was 18. Soon enough, you got known as a pretty dynamic duo, arriving to winter practices in huge puffy coats, and covered head to toe. You were both strikers, and Emma loved playing you both at the top. In a bit over two years, you both reached your 100th game for Chelsea, having collected between the both of you, 169 goals and 32 assists.
In the middle of 2020, you met Jessie Fleming.
You both started dating in 2021, and 2 years later, you were still going strong. Jessie finally decided she wanted you to meet her family in person, and see her home town. So, in january of 2023, you hoped on a plane to London, Ontario. And you thought London, England was cold…
You stepped out of the small London, Ontario airport, the freezing cold hitting you right away. "I told you to put a coat on baby," Jessie said, laughing at your shocked face. "I didn’t think it would be this cold!" You said, shivering. "I warned you!" Jessie said, opening her long winter coat. You quickly dropped your bag at your feet and abandoned your suitcase, putting your arms around her and feeling the comfort of her body. Jessie closed the big coat around the both of you, kissing the top of your head.
You were taller than her only by an inch, but in your cold state, you were hunched over to stay warm.
"How quickly is Eylsse gonna get here?" You whined. "Just texted her, she’ll be here in- oh there she is." Jessie said.
You reluctantly left the comfort of your girlfriends body, pulling away and seeing Elysse and Tristan driving up in the family subaru. You saw the pure joy in their eyes, the happiness of seeing their sister. You felt happy for Jessie, happy she had that bond with her siblings, but also sad that yours hadn’t reached out to you in years.
Tristan and Elysse stepped out of the car, Elysse running up to Jessie and jumping in her arms. Tristan seemed more reserved, more like Jessie, so you opted for a simple handshake. "It’s nice to meet you in person, you’re taller than you seem on family facetimes." Tristan says. "Don’t lie to me," you laughed, knowing very well you were not tall. "Hey, Elysse!" You said. She hugged you tightly, smiling at you wildly. "I love your nose piercing, oh my god it looks so good on you! I’ve always wanted one but I don’t know if it would suit me." You say to Elysse. "You should get one! I know a really good guy if you want!" Elysse said, smiling at you. "I’ll think about it. Let’s just please get out of the cold." You said, grabbing both yours and Jessie’s luggage and bringing it to the car.
"Did you not tell your aussie girlfriend to wear a coat in Canada?" Elysse laughed, addressing her sister. "I did! She didn’t listen!" Jessie answered, watching as her girlfriend and brother put the luggage in the trunk. "She’s a gentleman," Elysse said, smiling. "You haven’t seen anything yet."
———
Michaele and John Fleming met you with open arms. Literally. The Fleming’s were warm, and inviting, the house smelled like fresh food and slightly of paint. You had all finished eating supper, a meal cooked to perfection by both Jessie’s parents, and were now sitting in the living room.
"I’m so happy you all managed to get time off work and school." Michaele said, pouring you a cup of coffee. "Me too, it’s really nice here." You said, thanking her with a nod for the warm drink. "You haven’t even hiked yet." Jessie told you. "Hiking? It’s too cold to hike." You said, shocked people went outside willingly in this weather. "Is not. In fact, that’s our first activity."
It was known to everyone that Jessie loved order. So when she told you that she had specific activities planned, you weren’t at all suprised.
"Tomorrow morning, 5:00 am, sunrise hike. Then skating on the mountain, then I want to bring you to a really cute coffee shop and show you my elementary school." Jessie said. "5:00 am!" You said, but we’re ignored. "Don’t forget your appointment! You’re getting a nose ring at 5:00 pm tomorrow." Elysse said.
It was true, the youngest Fleming had convinced you to go for it. Worse case scenario, you didn’t like it and let the hole close.
"How could I forget? Just you and me for that one, Els?" You asked her. "Yeah, mum and I are making supper. We’re only here three days." Jessie said.
A few hours later, you went to bed in Jessie’s childhood bedroom. It was surreal being in that are, seeing the trophies, the blue walls, the medals and framed pictures. "What would 14 year old you say if she knew that 24 year old you was lying in this same bed with her girlfriend?" You asked her as she traced patterns on your stomach. "I think she would pass out."
———
As Jessie had said, the next morning she had woken you up at 5:00 am. The whole thing was a blur. You remembered her literally having to dress you, and her telling you to be quiet as you tip toed down the stairs. She had bundled you up in a warm hat, a big winter coat, gloves and a scarf. Your hood was up the second you were out the door. You had fallen asleep in the car, and by the time you were to the mountains, it was almost 6:30.
"You ready baby?" Jessie said, opening the door for you and laughing at your grunt of an answer. You didn’t stay mad for long though, as you saw the still starry winter night peeking through the pine trees. "Oh, Jess. This is beautiful." You told her.
The both of you started your hike. Jessie had her camera with her and was taking pictures of you, and the world surrounding you the whole time you walked up the mountain. The snow was mangeable, due to the trail having been plowed. By the time you arrived at the top of the mountain, the sun was rising. Jessie pulled out a cover from her bag and put it in the snow. You cuddled up next to her, sipping a mocha Jessie had made.
The sky was painted orange, pink, red, yellow and purple, it was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen. Well, second most beautiful thing. Jessie would always be first. "I’m happy you brought me here." you told her, peering into her eyes. "I’m happy you like it here." She answered. "One day, when we retire from football, I wouldn’t mind having a family with you here." You told her, nervous of her answer.
You didn’t meet her eyes, that is until she used her gloved fingers to lift your chin up. "I want that more than anything." Jessie said, kissing you lovingly.

Where Yui makes an appearance.
OH BOY, I DROPPED MORE L O R E
Yui and Noctis co-exist in my story.
This chapter takes place in More Blood in the Maniac phase at the Mukami Mansion, and it is the first time Noctis ever showed weakness towards a vampire.
This post explains Noctis' motive in more detail, how Yui affects the story and why she isn't staying with any of the vampires.
Noctis was sent to the Sakamaki Mansion instead of Yui as part of the plan that would stop women to be sacrificed to the vampires, plus to gain the Sakamaki brother's as allies in order to assassinate Karlheinz, but this plan had another motive.
Seiji Komori could not bear the thought of sacrificing Yui, his beloved adoptive daughter whom he took care of ever since she was a child, to the vampires and he decides to sacrifice someone he has no attachment to, in order to protect her. That someone was Noctis, who was lectured by the vampire hunters in preparation for her mission. Unlike Yui, she experienced the worst of the world and was ideal to handle the job.
Before her absence, Yui told Noctis that she would miss her and asked her about where she was moving out to. Noctis didn't know much, but vaguely recalled the direction and city name she's been told. Yui promised to visit her one day and that's where the vampire hunter's plan almost failed.
After Subaru destroyed Noctis' phone, she was unable to stay in contact with Yui to warn her not to come to the Sakamaki Mansion should she find its location. That was the least of her current worries, as she was busy trying to survive in HDB, and she eventually forgot about it. Fortunately, she managed to get a new phone at some point.
In More Blood, Noctis was kidnapped by the Mukami brothers. During her stay, she didn't expect Yui to text her saying that she would come visit her. Apparently she was so worried about Noctis that she was begging the church staff to give hints about her location. Hearing about the news, Noctis bolted out of the Mukami mansion, not letting anything or anyone stop her from reaching Yui before she sets a foot to the Sakamaki Mansion.
As she arrived, she spotted Ayato in the front gate pinning Yui against a wall, but he quickly notices an out-of-breath Noctis with a panicked expression on her face. She went between them and tried to pry Ayato away from her, however he didn't let loose and says that he will drink Yui's blood for avoiding him. Suddenly, Noctis started to beg Ayato to let go and suck her blood instead. This caught him off guard, but he didn't go along with her request until Noctis was desperately begging him to, even going so far to adress him as "Ayato-Sama".
Noctis is aware about Cordelia's heart in Yui' body. If Ayato was to get a single drop of blood from Yui, the vampire hunter's plan would fail, as Ayato will become obsessed with Yui's blood to the point he wouldn't let go and eventually turn her into a vampire. This in turn would cause Yui to get disowned and killed by her father, which is something Noctis doesn't want to happen to her friend, hence why she decides to do EVERYTHING to prevent that from happening.
Yui now watched in horror as Noctis gets tormented by pain as her blood was getting sucked from her neck. Witnessing this, Yui learns the truth about what her friend has been up to that past month.
Eventually Noctis safely escorts Yui back to the church and warns her to never set foot to that place again. Their little reunion gets interrupted by Seiji Komori pointing a gun at Noctis and pulling Yui to his side. He describes her as being corrupted by the vampires from head to toe and ponders if he made the right choice choosing Noctis for this mission as he gets the impression that she has submitted to them based on the bite marks all over her body and the lack of report from her progress (due to the broken phone).
Yui panicks and tries to convince him not to shoot, but he was set on killing her. Noctis was able to convince Seiji not to shoot her in front of her friend - his daughter and questions if he can bear the thought of being responsible for causing Yui to witness her friend's death.
Realizing this, he lowers the gun and lets Noctis off, but he promises to find and kill her later. The scene ends with Yui getting dragged off to safety by her father as Noctis leaves the church without looking back. It has become clear that this may be the last time they'll ever see each other.
That night, Yui prays for her safety.

Sakamakis forced into a Catholic School, well this should be fun… consider this as my way of torturing them. ⛪️
•Ah it all started when one of the boys killed the daughter of an important family.
•It doesn’t matter who did it, Reiji ended up having a family talk in the living room to give the bad news. They’re going to a Catholic school for a semester before returning to Ryoutei Academy to escape the drama.
•Uniforms were ready, and they bought the textbooks required. They were going to start on a nice early morning on a Monday.
•They just had to pick the Catholic school that requires their students to arrive at school at 7 in the morning. Wonderful, JUST. WONDERFUL.
•Ayato had none of this Catholic school nonsense and didn’t listen to what Reiji said. He didn’t even check the school’s handbook and the never-ending lists of rules that everyone must follow word for word.
•Kanato already has a hard time with sleep but this?! This was ridiculous. He wailed to Teddy about how this isn’t fair and kept trying to sleep with his puffy eyes and clogged nose. No one dared to send an even more sleep-deprived Kanato into another fit.
•Laito was internally screaming and brainstorming on what kind of sunscreen he should use. Which sunscreen would not be too oily, won’t make him look too shiny and long-lasting? Would his super sensitive skin even handle the hyaluronic acid in the sunscreen?
•This has haunted Laito all weekend and wouldn’t stop thinking about it as he went to bed. It haunted him so hard that he just decided to wear the uniform properly.
•Don’t get Laito started on how he would plan on styling this stiff-ass uniform. That’s another monster to deal with AFTER HIS SKINCARE.
•Reiji was studying 3 quarters advanced on Christianity and slowly losing his head over how complicated the religion wrote their texts. He even went as far as trying to translate Biblical Hebrew from the original Bible to Latin to Japanese for good measure. 🫠
•Subaru wanted to hide in his coffin blasting emo music and Shu ended up going out of the mansion to not deal with his problems which lead to a wild goose chase to look for him.
•I swear they have never tried tracking him down since he was young, happy, and running off to see Edgar.
•Luckily, they managed to find him and Reiji managed to gather all his brothers together for the early Monday morning.
•That was the first time all the brothers saw Reiji with eyebags Laito even tried to advise on removing them and told Reiji that it worked on Kanato. Kanato punched Laito on the side for that comment. Sorry, Kanato got even less sleep than usual.
•There was so much chaos before school even got to start, it got worse the moment they stepped on school grounds, and a student who was doing a dress code check literally stopped Shuu, Ayato, Kanato, and Subaru in their tracks and started ticking out boxes from the list in their hands before they could say “What”
•So, to summarize everything, Ayato didn’t tie his tie properly, buttoned his shirt wrong, and needs to pull his pant leg down.
•Subaru needed to replace his shirt which was ripped at the bottom, remove that key necklace along with the small accessories he always wore, and was demanded that he dye his hair black because they thought his hair was dyed and said that white hair is not allowed. (Dude, please… it’s natural)
•Shu needed to button up his first few buttons, comb his unruly hair and wear the jacket properly instead of just draping it over his shoulders.
•As for Kanato? Well, they said that he should ditch his red string tie, change into pants, and said that he should stop dressing up like a middle school boy.
•Oh… they also confiscated Teddy and told a fuming Kanato that he will have Teddy back after 10 hours since classes start at 7 am and end at 5 pm… and that if he brought Teddy again, they would give it away to the nearest orphanage. Without his consent.
•That was the moment when Reiji wanted to faint from the incoming stress the moment Kanato was ready to throw hands. Or a fork, maybe two forks. Worst case scenario is a pair of scissors.
•So, on the first day, four out of six of the brothers had penalties for their uniforms, and someone already needed to go to the doctor. The most shocking part of it all was that it wasn’t Subaru’s fault that the kid went to the hospital, but Kanato’s.
•They had to go home early to get their bearings. Reiji needed a new plan on what to do that will prevent Kanato from attempting murder on the dress code dude and how to prove that Subaru’s hair is natural so that they won’t hurt the family budget for boxes of black hair dye. As well as giving preventing giving other students black eyes.
•After a good amount of brainstorming and baking sweets for Kanato to help improve his mood Reiji finally came up with something.
•Reiji managed to get half a dozen of “real hair certificates” for all six members of the family just in case another brother would be asked if their hair is natural and sewn a mini-Teddy for Kanato to hide in his inner pocket.
•Reiji may be a stickler for the rules but letting Kanato bring a mini-Teddy to this school can bring the fragile peace the brother needs.
•So, on the second day, they all dressed up properly, finally went to their classes without a hitch, introduced themselves, and sat in their assigned seats.
Now that’s out of the way, time for individual headcannons for each Sakamaki boy.
Ayato
•Ayato is the Wattpad bad boy that all reserved girls secretly dreamed of more than once. Especially with the fact he would talk back to the teachers which is a no-go.🙅♀️
•Cut the girls some slack, the school was so strict they don’t allow the students to read anything but the Bible during school hours.
•Some of the students were punished for sneaking in light novels. They weren’t even erotic novels!!!
•It’s because the titles the students got punished for were Witch Hat Atelier and The Girl from the Other Side… The school and its staff just watered it down to “DEMONS AND WITCHES BAAAAD”
•So yeah. There were students that were quite curious with a little… rebelliousness.
•Ayato would rip the Bible up and make paper planes out of it and aim it towards the teacher’s face. Paper planes go wheee~
•Some of the students wanted to laugh when Ayato taped a piece of paper behind the male teacher's lower back that says "SPANK ME DADDY *insert the school's priest's name*”
•You should have seen the teacher’s face. He was pissed and his face was red from embarrassment.
•Ayato had to stand in the hallway for that and was required to go to the principal after class to consult Ayato about his behavior with his guardian (Reiji)
•He can’t even go outside of the school grounds to snag some extra Takoyaki, how devastating.
Kanato
•Despite the rough first day Kanato had to deal with his mood improved with the fact he is surrounded by girls that are his type. Cute and innocent looking. You know, like dolls.
•Yeah, those uniforms and their skirts that end below the knee won’t save the girls from Kanato. The uniforms might as well be gift wrapping paper because Kanato would pounce on them if he can.
•He too would have to stand in the hallway for his tantrums and for trying to smuggle sweets in his school bag. Ayato, you have company.
•Despite his erratic behavior he was asked to join the choir. His brothers thought it would be funny if a vampire was in the choir, singing and praising the Lord.
Laito
•Laito played the good boy act because teachers had suspicions about him when he was flirting with the female students on the first day as well as the fact that he is related to Kanato. You know, the one who sent the kid to the hospital.
•Honestly, it was creepy how well he managed to fool the teachers. It was a facade on top of another facade.
•It doesn’t help that he managed to sleep with about hmm… half of the girls by the end of the semester. The reason why he couldn’t get the other half was that they were more stubborn about being chaste and pure Laito ended up going for the easier and more gullible prey.
•He doesn’t like the uniform and was tempted to style it, but the school won’t allow him to even change the color of his tie or wear anything else other than dress pants.
•They even forced him to cut his shoulder-length hair, boohoo. So Laito was stuck with short hair for a semester. It made him look more handsome than pretty and it made the girls swoon.
•Ugh, curse that pretty privilege.
Shu
•Shu just wanted to listen to music and nap, but the teachers were keeping an eye on him and caught him skipping class a few times.
•Shu gets more workouts with all the punishments that he’s been given by the teachers. For a lot of reasons.
•They got him holding stacks of books on each arm and made him a prime example of what happens if you would dare disobey.
•Although it’s not effective because Shu doesn’t give a damn and it shows. Also, vampire strength makes those books on his hands look like nothing.
•Shu thinks the choir singing about God is irritating and would ditch The Holy Mass that everyone is required to go to.
•There was one time Ayato was in Shu’s regular hiding spot because of the paper planes and demanded Shu doesn’t rat him out.
•Shu ratted him out and Ayato received his punishment, Ayato was forced to pray to God in the school’s chapel with the priest watching over him making him recite his prayers word by word.
Reiji
•He was almost the same as he was in Ryoutei Academy if I’m being honest, a teacher’s pet.
•The only difference is that he gets less sleep because his brothers are more chaotic than usual and needs to add another subject into his schedule that was unfamiliar to him.
•It all paid off though.
•Christian education teachers adore him and told the students to follow in his footsteps towards the path of God. (Hilarious)
•In reality, he could care less about it and just perform well because knowing the Christian religion is now part of his perfect grades. He intends on maintaining that.
•He would rather chew on his porcelain teacups than have a grade less than an A.
•Other than that, he likes the school, thinks the rules are justified, and enjoyed his stay in Catholic school.
Subaru
•Ah, the teachers and the principal also have an eye on Subaru. He’s more violent than he was in Ryoutei.
•They even went as far as to call Subaru out of class so that he could talk to the school’s priest, thinking he was just another troubled teen that needs the Lord’s guidance.
•Subaru even had to go to the confession booth and talk to the same priest to reflect on his violent behavior. Only for the priest to hear Subaru telling him to fuck off and go to hell.
Priest: My dear boy, all this turmoil that you feel deep inside would lessen if you would open your heart to me and to Go-
Subaru: FUCK OFF
Priest: … you may go back to class for lunch. God bless 🙏
•Whenever Subaru does attempt to cooperate, he might confess some of his sins in incredible detail. The funny part is that no one would believe him even if he confessed to murdering, they even assumed he’s only another emo teen trying to be edgy. (They are only half right)
Subaru: Yeah, I killed someone and buried them in the rose garden, and they haunt me to this day.
Priest: Do tell us a proper confession. Lying is a sin, Subaru, God is watching over you.
Subaru: And the ground is solid, and I’m tempted to put you 6 feet under, old man.
•Subaru also fits every bad boy troupe that girls would think “I can fix him” or “Babe, look at me, this isn’t youuuu🥹🥹”. Until he smashes the walls…
•Ladies, please stay away from his fists within a 6 feet radius as there is a chance your face will turn into the ‘mystery meat’ that the lunch lady would serve you for your meals.
Author’s note: OMG I can’t believe I actually did this, lmaaaaaao.
* Ok but fr tho I would like to thank @summercreoulefanfictioner for laughing with me as we talked about all the situations we came up with.
* Thank you @nutaella-kookie for inspiring me to write in my Tumblr after not doing anything with it for years. I admire your works!
* Lastly, thank you @lovely-oh-so-lovelyyui for inspiring me on my first 2 posts on how shitty the Sakamakis and Mukamis would be as dads/husbands. It was the very thing that started it all!!!

kanato cl endings!! this is my new favorite kanato route!! and for once, I think the good ending is more satisfying than the bad one lol
euphoria end:
in the church, kanato concludes that he just can’t ignore the sakamaki brothers. he has all kinds of feelings for them, including jealousy and contempt, and because of that, he won’t be able to part with them easily. (thats the most backwards way to say you love them I’ve ever heard, but I’ll take it!! good job, kanato!!) but outside, the scarlet and violet families are arguing over who gets to go inside and steal eve. ayato and laito are standing guard, and even though they’re SO outnumbered, ayato declares that they’ve got no choice but to stop em. and laito says it’s for his oniichan’s sake ^^
kanato… [wiping tears] …wants to go save ayato and laito. he can’t leave them, because they’re brothers who have been together since before they were born.
before he goes, he and yui stand at the altar and yui comments that it feels like a wedding, but kanato refutes that they can’t possibly have a wedding without wedding cake. they have a ring, though! because kanato bit yui’s ring finger earlier and it left a scar. so, because it might be their last time, they exchange vows and kiss.
…which is, of course, the key to leaving this place. everything goes white and they’re back in the real world. yui thinks ayato and laito are dead for a sec, but theyre just snoozin. karl heinz shows up, explains the whole thing, and gives kanato a pat on the back and tells him it’s time to inherit his powers.
kanato says, no way!! I won’t be king. I once thought that I didn’t care about those other guys, but I’ve just realized I have all these complicated feelings about them, and I don’t know what I’ll do if those guys are gone. so I won’t be all alone like you, father.
karl heinz is like “lmao…I’ll give u a little more time” and he disappears. time to go home. kanato jokes that they can leave ayato and the others behind, but he’s not serious >_> so they get to work waking em up. kanato says that he never thought such a day would come, but he misses how noisy the sakamaki house is. (awwww…!!)
back at the sakamaki house, the triplets + yui are studying together for a makeup exam. ayato and laito start goofing off after ten minutes, but kanato is SERIOUS because reiji hid all his sweets so he NEEDS to pass. he kicks his brothers out so he can focus, then grumbles that he should’ve left them at the miniature garden (LMAO) but yui’s like “aww, you’re totally having fun.” they make out and kanato says he loves her no matter where they are, and all’s well that ends well!! good for them!
labyrinth end:
yui confidently tells kanato she’ll trust whatever his decision is, and he’s like “okay. I want to murder everyone.” yui is all UMMM anything but that, please??? but he’s not listening. he sucks her blood till she loses consciousness
it suddenly cuts to carla whipping ruki and shin till they pass out, which is awesome but very unexpected. it’s the first we’ve seen them since they got captured lol. subaru arrives to tell carla that eve is at the church, so off we go!!
at the church, ayato and laito have gotten their asses severely kicked by scarlet fam. yuma also collapses and shu’s like “yuma….!” which is enough otp crumbs to keep me fed all week, thank you very much. carla arrives on the scene and starts shittalking with reiji, but then…!!
………..when yui wakes up, she sees kanato is covered in blood and she’s like “oh god we have to treat ur injuries!” and of course kanato’s like “dont worry, it’s not my blood ^^” he happily tells her that he’s almost finished taking care of things here, and he continues his unspeakable violence. he’s killed everyone and they’re the only ones left. he hugs her, and the blood he’s covered with is still warm.
well it doesn’t work; they don’t go home. (not that this would work anyway, but aren’t ruki and shin still alive in the violet dungeon? am I wrong…? did carla kill them? whatever.) yui faints and can’t speak, so kanato moves her around like a doll. they’ll live forever in this world, then, just the two of them. it’ll be awfully quiet.
back in the real world, karl heinz is like “my friend. did u get my sons killed” and socrates is like “sowwy :( I just didnt think it was worth it to lose my best friend to some immature adam.” karl heinz says it’s ok, and socrates suggests reversing time. karl heinz is like sure, yeah, let’s reverse time and have them try again. (EXCUSE ME???? EXCUSE ME????????????? COULD U DO THAT THIS WHOLE TIME. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING) so I guess they, uh, reverse time and try again????.?.??

complexion of god | chapter one
warning: sexual themes, typical vampire violence.
characters are aged up. [college AU]
“Subaru, why don’t you ever invite me over? We’ve been friends since our first year of school and I am yet to meet your siblings.” [yn] twiddles her thumbs, patiently waiting for him to speak. His usual cold demeanor did no justice in soothing the hiccup of anxiety brushing her chest.
“Why do you want to meet them so damn badly? They’re shitty people.” He mutters in response, smoothing out the dampened joint in his hand. “Pass me a light.” [yn] hums, handing him her favorite lighter, the one he happened to give her many years ago.
“You still have this old thing?” He mutters, eyeing the lighter, the same one he mistaken for makeup. “Still don’t see why they shaped it like lipstick.” He ponders, sparking the joint a lite.
Moments like these were one of her favorites, his little attention to detail pleased her. In contrast to his usual cold, distant self. The same cold, distant man who hadn't told her his birthday until recently.
[yn] knew nothing of Subaru or at least truthful things. It felt nothing more than a mere illusion to what Subaru wanted her to think, wanted her to believe.
“Come on, don’t change the subject now! Anyway—you’ve met my siblings. Hell, even my mom.” [yn] retorts, grabbing the joint from Subaru.
Exhaling a cloud of smoke, the feeling of euphoria colors him. “Yea. I guess, come over if you want this weekend.” He spurs as the sound of her heartbeat pounds the air around him.
“You mean it?” [yn] pipes with glee, eagerly taking a hit; inhaling the potent flavor of citric orange and lemon.
Coughing at its harsh smoke, she carries the feeling of relief. “Subaru, I’m kinda glad I spilt my drink on you that day.” she begins to ponder.
“Yeah? Why’s that?” he asks, grabbing the joint for another hit, [yn] lifts her head to meet his crimson-colored eyes.
“Cause I wouldn’t be here today if I did.” She’s smitten with euphoria and glee.
His eyes roll as her sudden confession tugs a smile onto his pale face. “You’re so corny, [yn].” He drags another hit, then exhales, shifting his body towards her. “But go on.” He smirks, she begins to stammer about, blabbering about her own feelings.
He hums as she spurs about, holding onto the words she speaks. The scent of [yn]’s blood itches the back of his throat.
Scoffing at her intoxicating smell, Subaru stands to his feet covering his nose with his arm. Staring in shock, [yn] stands up and smells her clothes. “Do I stink?! What is it?” she smells under her arms.
“Shit, no sorry. I thought I was having a nose bleed.” Clearing his throat, Subaru put out the joint. “Anyway, I’ll text you my address. I gotta go.” He said looking for his car keys.
“Do you need a ride?”
[yn] shakes her head in response, “I’ll be okay. see you, this weekend.” She grins, waving goodbye before heading into the direction of home.
“This is going to be the worst weekend ever.” He mutters watching her fleeing figure.
♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
It was finally the weekend, [yn] was finally going to meet Subaru’s family. Standing in front of her bedroom mirror, [yn] looks over her outfit more, a simple yet stylish look.
“Alright, here goes nothing.”
She grabs her car keys and her welcoming gift. With the drive itself worrying her, she ponders the news of a possible snow storm.
As much as she loved hanging out with Subaru, she much rather be alone with her thoughts. Not since what happened yesterday. [yn] was embarrassed, why exactly did Subaru react so suddenly to her? Deciding to leave the thoughts at home, [yn] starts her drive to Subaru’s place.
After what felt like an hour, [yn] managed to arrive just in time before the storm started. The engine to her car turns off once in the driveway to Subaru’s home. A large yellow manor, covered with managed ivy on its walls.
“Woah, this place is huge.” [yn] mumbles, exiting the car, she approaches the maintenance to the mansion. Upon reaching the door, she notices a man with auburn-red hair and green eyes standing on the mansion’s balcony. Before she knew it, he vanished into thin air.
“What the fuck?” she mutters, drawing her attention back to the door she knocks softly. “Uh, Subaru. I’m here.” she calls out. Moments later, the large front door opens slowly. Expecting to be greeted with Subaru’s presence, the man from the balcony now stands before her.
“Who are you?” The man asks, his eyes scanning her full figure, [yn]’s face flush with embarrassment. “I’m [yn] [ln], I’m here to see Subaru.” she answers.
“A girl here for Subaru? That’s a first.” He says, stepping ahead he lets her enter. “So, [yn]. How do you know my brother?” he continues to pester.
“Uhm, he and I have been friends since freshman year of university.” she retorts, for a man she just met, he sure was nosey and she didn’t like it.
“Huh, never heard of you before. Oi, Subaru, some woman’s here to see you.” He calls out, his head turns as Subaru enters the room.
“Tsk, yea thanks, Ayato. You can leave now.” Subaru stands beside him waiting for him to leave. Ayato glares at his brother, side eyeing him as he turns to walk away. “I see you met Ayato.” He mutters grabbing [yn]’s wrists leading her towards his room.
‘So that’s one of his brothers.’ She thinks to herself, eyeing the walls of the manor, admiring the family portraits lined along the wall. Many of them consist of three different women, a man and presumingly their six children.
“How big is your family?” [yn] staggers to keep up with Subaru’s rushed walking pace.
“I mean, you can tell by the portraits themselves.” He opens the door to his room, escorting her inside, “Also, dinner won’t start until four tonight. So until then, stay here with me.”
“But Subaru, I'm here to meet your family, not sit in your room until dinner.” [yn] exclaims, his eyes roll as he closes the door behind them.
“Yeah and until then we’re going to hang out here.” He grabs the remote to his television and turns it on. [yn] sighs, as she sits down on his bed. “Just listen to me for once.” he adds.
“Yeah, yeah.” [yn] slides off her shoes and shimmers to the side of his bed, leaving room for him to lay down.
“Here, I got you a gift.” He says tossing her a disposable pen. “Ah yes more drugs. You know me so well.” [yn] teases stealing a hit of her newly founded pen. Subaru clicks his tongue in response.
“Shut up.”
As the night progressed, the clingier Subaru became, the closer they got.
(●´ω｀●)
It started with an ‘innocent’ kiss, and now they ravish in each other’s hold. His mouth sucks the base of her neck as his hands brush against her with comforting sweet warmth.
She mewls in awe, Subaru slowly undresses her. Not minding the feeling of his sharp fangs, he grazes her soft complexion, his free arm wrapped around her waist, as his hand preoccupied itself with the base of his member guiding it to her entrance. Her already intoxicating scent pushes him to the edge.
In a swift movement, he pushes into her entrance, moaning at the feeling of her insides pulsing around him. His fangs sink way into her neck. She grips onto his shoulder, as her eyes roll into the back of her head. He feverishly drinks from her neck. This was only the beginning.
(●´ω｀●)
After an hour, she’s asleep, with her body decorated with love and bite marks. Subaru hopes it’s enough. Enough to make his brothers steer clear of her.
He watches her sleeping form as he pulls up his jeans, his face wearing a look of boredom. Now what’s he to do since she’s sleeping? The sudden presence of Laito, makes Subaru shift instantly, his green cat-like eyes peering over at [yn]’s sleeping figure.
“Is that the source of the lovely smell? Surely you’ll let your big brother get a taste of her.” He grins, teleporting next to her limp body.
“Fuck off, pervert. She’s not one of them, so she’s off limits.” He sneers.
“Any of us can fuck and bite a human woman, remember that. She’s up for grabs, Su..ba..ru~.” Laito says with a grin, his cold hand brushing bits of hair from [yn]’s forehead.
“Fuck you, Laito. The project‘s over, admit defeat. This one is mine.”
“Father’s letter says otherwise, see you at dinner.” Laito vanishes before Subaru could respond. This was one of the many reasons why he avoided you coming over, his siblings.

☆彡 SAKURA FESTIVAL
SUMMARY — This year, Trickstar has been given the honour of handling the traditional and independent live that is held in April, Sakura Fest. Hokuto is fully motivated, but on the other hand, Subaru doesn't seem to be very eager...
RECAP — subaru decides to fuck off during practice before a big live. but what's this? the unresolved trauma of isolation by peers? ft. adosou being adosou, allusions to hokuto being a bad unit leader, koga throwing a dog up a tree and SO many undressing comments.
RATING — ★★★★★ — VERY FUN STORY
↳ hokuto announces that trickstar will be holding the sakurafes concert, which subaru refuses in favor of wanting to attend the flower-viewing in the same timeframe. after subaru and hokuto sulk in the wake of their argument, subaru is advised to not shirk his duties by souma and adonis, and hokuto admits to makoto and mao that he knows he causes trouble with his narrow-minded nature.
↳ with the help of shinobu, mao and anzu locate subaru, who is in a cherry blossom tree with daikichi, who was thrown up there with koga, who isn't pleased with the pollen nor their appearances. after some begging on mao's and mao reaching out a hand to subaru, subaru admits that the reason he was so adamant on going to the flower-viewing this year was that he hadn't been invited the previous year because he'd been shunned by his classmates, and he wanted to wipe over his old, sad memories with his new friends.
↳ when sakurafes finally rolls around, subaru still hadn't attended any rehearsals, frustrating hokuto. hokuto admits to his stubbornness again and makoto reminsces on how hokuto used to force him into jobs, and how hokuto was likely forced the same way by his parents. they continue to perform, until subaru suddenly arrives in the middle of the concert. hokuto berates him and they bicker, but subaru reveals that he'd been advertising for sakurafes at the flower-viewings and practicing with anzu. hokuto decides to trust him, and they perform.
↳ after the live, subaru and hokuto continue to argue while mao talks to shinobu about him and anzu's merch sales. subaru notices souma and adonis helping anzu man the barbecue stall and koga heckling adonis about his grilling. their classmates compliment them before they return to the stage.
trickstar truly are just the peak of boys being boys to me in so many ways. and i'm always a fan of subaru's experience never having a "proper high school experience" considering how much it resonates with me... and allusions to past trickstar's issues always interest me... even if their get-together has usually been portrayed pretty positively, the issues they worked out to get there (notably hokuto's pushiness AND ALSO THE HIDAKA CYCLE OF ABUSE? fascinating) are always tasty for me.
HITS —
(sighs) trickstar undressing comp.
koga and mao make for an insanely funny dynamic. mao isara get some pride
[through tears] what isolation in freshman year does to a mf

Sayo's Route: Dark 02
Sayo's Route Masterlist - CG by Rejet
-Sayo rushes down the stairs of the Sakamaki mansion towards the main entrance
(Hurry, hurry….Gotta get to the limo before Laito does…)
-When she enters the limo, she is pleased to see that Laito isn’t seated yet. He and Kanato are missing. She takes a seat next to Subaru
(Thankfully there’s not enough room, even if Laito tries his hardest to squeeze in next to me.)
-A moment later, Laito enters the limo with Kanato. His eyes scan the car for Sayo. It’s clear by his expression that he is displeased
Laito: Aw~ Why are you sitting next to Subaru, Sayo-chan? You should be sitting next to me.
-She ignores him
Subaru: Obviously she didn’t want to sit next to you.
Laito: You never had a problem sitting next to me before…How cruel, Sayo-chan~
Sayo: That was before you came in while I was taking a bath.
Subaru: Tch…pervert…
Laito: I was only trying to keep watch over her like I was told. There’s nothing wrong with that, you know?
Sayo: Everything is wrong with that! I said I wasn’t going to cooperate and I meant it, especially if you’re going to act like this.
-An awkward silence fills the car
Reiji: Haah…seems this has made them get along even worse after all.
Subaru: They got along at all before this?
Shu: Well…it was better than this…
-Sayo and Laito glance at each other before immediately looking away
(It looks like he almost feels bad about it…but I doubt that’s real. He’s just upset I won’t pay attention to him. But…I guess they do have a point. He wasn’t as annoying before this happened. We could at least have conversations…Maybe I am being difficult…but if he keeps doing things like trying to sneak into my baths, there’s no way I can act normal with him.)
(Reiji was right…I should have just chosen Subaru. He may not have wanted to do this, but it would have been a better choice than anyone else most likely. Then maybe things would still be semi normal…)
-When they arrive at school, Laito attempts to stop her after they exit the limo
Laito: Sayo-chan-
Sayo: Don’t. Just leave me be for today, okay? We can start again tomorrow. Subaru can watch over me or whatever.
-She glances over at Subaru for confirmation
Subaru: Haah…whatever.
Laito: Fine…
-He walks away without another word
Subaru: Are you sure this is okay?
Sayo: What do you mean?
Subaru: Letting him go like that.
Sayo: He’ll be fine. It’s his own fault. If he would just learn to respect boundaries, this situation would be completely different.
Subaru: Ha! Good luck with that one.
Sayo: Fufu…yeah, figured as much…
Subaru: Should have just chosen me…even if it’s a pain in the ass…
Sayo: Haah…you don’t have to say it, I already know. But I’m still against this whole thing, you know?
Subaru: Well get over it. You’re stuck with it as long as those guys are after you.
(We still haven’t confirmed that they even are…but arguing with him isn’t going to get me anywhere.)
Subaru: You better repay me for helping you out with Laito.
-Sayo shrugs
Sayo: I do owe you one.
Subaru: Hehe…good answer. Let’s go then.
-Sayo follows Subaru to the library
Sayo: Isn’t the library a little too inconspicuous…?
Subaru: What does it matter? It’s deserted right now.
Sayo: Haah…well, I guess you’re right. Let’s go back here then.
-Sayo takes Subaru’s hand and leads the way to the back of the library behind a bookshelf
Sayo: Go ahead.
Subaru: Hehe…aren’t you being obedient.
Sayo: It’s not being obedient, it’s thanking you for getting Laito off my back.
-Subaru pulls open her collar, biting down at the base of her neck. Sayo cringes but remains silent. When he sees her face, he sighs
Subaru: Would it kill you to have a cuter reaction?
Sayo: Fufu…I’m sorry, is my blood not enough for you?
Subaru: Che…you have a cheeky mouth!
-He bites down again with more force
Sayo: Oww…rude…
-When Subaru is finished, she buttons her blouse back up and straightens her ribbon
Subaru: Your blood really is delicious. You better start giving it to me more often.
-She sticks her tongue out at him as they walk back towards the front of the library
Sayo: I’ll think about it.
Kou: What are you two doing off in the corner, hm~?
-Kou steps out in front of them
Kou: Something smells good…you wouldn’t happen to have been having some breakfast back there by chance, Subaru-kun?
-Subaru glares at Kou
Subaru: Who the hell are you?
Kou: Kou Mukami. Nice to meet you~ You didn’t tell him about me, M-neko-chan? How cold~
-Sayo glares as well
Sayo: Do not call me that. My name is Sayori Makina.
Subaru: What the hell do you want?
Kou: Isn’t that obvious? I followed her scent here. You made it too easy.
-Subaru gives her an I told you so look
Sayo: Haah…don’t even start…
(I’ll have to ask him not to say anything to Reiji later. Reiji will just rub the fact he was right in my face after all the times I tried to insist the babysitter thing is ridiculous…)
(Well, time to get out of this situation.)
Sayo: Class is going to be starting soon.
-She walks past Kou without a second glance
Sayo: You don’t want to be late, do you?
-Kou turns, bewildered at her audacity as she continues to walk away. Subaru follows after her, leaving Kou alone
Subaru: Walking away like that could have ended badly for you. You don't know how violent that guy is.
-Sayo shrugs
Sayo: It's fine. The tall one is the one that grabbed me before. Besides, if anything had happened, you were there to save me, right?
-She turns, giving him a cheeky grin. Subaru's cheeks flush
Subaru: Why, you...
Sayo: Don't tell Reiji about this, will you? He'll just be annoying about it.
Subaru: I'm not promising anything. Let's just get to class.

DARK NIGHT PRIEST (NUN) [SUMIRE EDTION]
𖧷ɤ———ɤ𖧷
"..Oh deer... This is no good... Seems your on your last breath, do not worry sweet child... Sister Sumire.. Shall hush those sweet breaths of yours..."
HEADCANNONS BELOW.
{BEFORE READING AHEAD DISCLAIMER!! No I do not think churches are like this and I do not mean to offend anyone. This is my AU of Sumire being in a 'catholic' AU as a nun. She's more in a cult that poses itself as a 'church'. AGAIN I DO NOT MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE, }
{ VOTE FOR WHICH BOY U WANT SUMIRE IN A HEADCANNON AND FANFIC IN THIS AU AT BOTTOM. }
𖧷ɤ— "..I have.. Given everything... I have given it my all to believe there is a god.. Now I know there is one... That god that took fathers identity, is gone... Now that father finally can be in his true place... Fufu.."
As a young girl, Kyuufu still had placed in her head that he was her god in the living world. 'You have two gods, me and our holy one.' he said as he drown her more into "cleansing water". She happily let him shove her head in there still she couldn't breath in hopes she'll believe in her spirit god and become clean as she is still sinned and dirty.
But someone's sanity can only be so sane for so long, two gods just two gods. However.. Father is plenty more worthy of being up there ruling it all right? It only took a few stabs in the gut and heart for her to know she now has a god she knows truly exists. This lifeless body in front of her.. Her father was finally in the correct place.
However, the church would come to find out their priest was murdered by the nun, his daughter no less. In panic they send her away to a separate church to 'cleanse' her. Little did she know the people there have done far worse sins then her.
𖧷ɤ— "..It's sad... That all of these people refuse to look into the right picture... And see that sins are not redeemable, and they deserve to parish... However, it is only their choice to walk the right path when they are in front of deaths door..."
People would soon come to question her in the new church. Just what was there to fix about this girl? She seemed to be so in love with her god, even had every word, page, person memorized that they turned a blind eye. Not the 'non human' boys however, the priests would find her intriguing by her beliefs and morals. She, as a loyal nun she become to her newly church would be on her hands and knees to them. She was still a foolish human Afterall.
Following their wants, and requests. It quickly became her job to keep a watchful eye for any sinners, or mistreatment within the 'church'. And report back, and pray behind the door while she heard her beloved priests murder the unfortunate soul. Father have mercy on them when they arrive she think.
𖧷ɤ—"I am more then willing to give up my everything... Please my father... Please take my mortality away from me so I can be yours... For our love is more powerful then our god itself..."
She kneels before him. The one she has chosen 'till death to us part'. But she wishes not to be with him unless she is him, she can not be with him forever until her mortality is gone.
Perhaps she's willing to give herself another physical god, one whom she'll cherish, and do his every biding of getting rid of pesky sinners. But just who is this man? You the reader decide, how nun Sumire's path will go.
--CHOICE--
SHUU SAKAMAKI -- REIJI SAKAMAKI --AYATO SAKAMAKI -- KANATO SAKAMAKI -- LAITO SAKAMAKI -- SUBARU SAKAMAKI
RUKI MUKAMI -- KOU MUKAMI -- YUMA MUKAMI -- AZUSA MUKAMI
CARLA TSUKISHIMA -- SHIN TSUKISHIME

The Psychological Dynamics of Subaru's Mental Health Journey in Re: Zero: An Examination of Growth Through Tribulations
Re: Zero provides a rich exploration of psychological theories through the development of its protagonist Subaru. The current post delves into the psychological evolution of Subaru, focusing on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Bowlby's attachment theory, Kohlberg's stages of moral development, defense mechanisms, Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, cognitive distortions, and the concept of relapse in personal growth. This is all from Season 1 and Season 2, as I am an anime only. I will state that as the new season airs and more information comes to light, information is subject to change. This is not about diagnosing a character but rather understanding aspects of their mental health journey through a psychological perspective.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Subaru's Development Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is a staple in the study of human motivation, proposing that humans are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to more complex ones (Maslow, 1943). The hierarchy is usually depicted as a five-level pyramid, with physiological needs at the bottom, followed by safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization at the top. In Re: Zero, Subaru's journey through this hierarchy is not linear, with his position within the pyramid fluctuating based on circumstances and experiences. The physiological level, which includes food, water, warmth, and rest, is initially a priority for Subaru. Upon arriving in the alternate world, he grapples with these basic needs, with characters like Emilia and Rem assisting him. However, even after these needs are met, life-threatening events can throw him back to this level, showcasing a fluctuation within the pyramid. Safety needs become important as Subaru faces numerous perils in the new world. His need for personal security and safety is continuously threatened, particularly against violent deaths. Subaru often meets these needs using his unique ability to return by death, creating a safe outcome for himself and those around him. Love and belongingness needs are manifested in Subaru's interactions with Emilia, Rem, and Beako. The companionship and acceptance Subaru experiences through these relationships fulfill his need for love and belonging. However, situations such as Emilia's initial rejection of his overbearing protection can cause him to perceive a loss of this belonging, pushing him down the pyramid. Subaru's pursuit of esteem needs is evident in his constant drive for acknowledgment and respect, particularly from Emilia and Rem. However, frequent failures, rejections, and misunderstandings lead to fluctuations in this area. His dynamic relationship with Beako mainly tests his self-esteem. Self-actualization, the highest level, refers to the need to fulfill one's potential and is seen in Subaru's journey toward becoming a hero in the alternate world. This need is continuous and remains a constant objective for Subaru. However, as evident throughout the series, Subaru's progression to this stage is consistently challenged by the fluctuating state of his lower-level needs.
Bowlby's Attachment Theory, Defense Mechanisms, and Toxic Attachments Bowlby's attachment theory suggests that an individual's early relationships and attachments significantly influence their emotional development and interactions in later relationships (Bowlby, 1969). Subaru's relationships with Emilia, Rem, and Beako reflect various attachment styles, underpinning his emotional growth and development. With Emilia, Subaru tries to form a secure attachment, evident in his constant desire to be in her presence and the comfort he draws from their interactions. He trusts her and often seeks emotional refuge in her, indicative of the secure base in such attachments. However, Subaru's actual relationship with Emilia for most of the series so far presents a slightly different attachment style. While he exhibits affection for Emilia, his constant need to affirm his feelings suggests an anxious-preoccupied attachment. Here, Subaru's reliance on Emilia and others for emotional validation often leads to insecurity and anxiety. In a manner, Subaru seeks validation and approval from Emilia, like his yearning for his father's recognition. Subaru's relationship with Beako demonstrates a disorganized attachment style. This form of attachment is characterized by patterns of behavior that lack a coherent strategy for managing stress and fear (Bretherton, 1992). Subaru seems to fluctuate between seeking some form of comfort from Beako and being wary of her unpredictable responses, resulting in a complex and often turbulent dynamic.
Defense Mechanisms in Subaru's Psychological Development Let us talk a little about Subaru's coping strategies in the face of the series' numerous challenges, often aligning with classic defense mechanisms outlined in psychoanalytic theory. For example, he frequently uses denial, especially in the initial stages of the series. Unable to cope with the harsh reality of his situation, Subaru often ignores or denies some of the evident problems he encounters. As his journey progresses, he begins to employ more adaptive defense mechanisms. For instance, he uses humor to diffuse tense situations, a mechanism often associated with mature psychological coping. He also demonstrates sublimation, channeling his negative emotions into productive activities, like devising survival strategies or working towards resolving conflicts.
Toxic Attachments in Subaru's Relationships Although attachment forms the foundation of social bonds, it can also lead to toxic relationships when mismanaged. In Subaru's case, his strong attachments occasionally push him into toxic behavior. His attachment to Emilia, for instance, initially leads him to be overprotective and controlling, disregarding her autonomy. This behavior is typical of toxic attachment, where one person excessively depends on another for emotional support or validation. However, it is essential to note that Subaru learns from these negative experiences. He gradually understands the importance of respecting individual autonomy and independence, moving away from toxic behavior patterns as he grows. This transformation further underscores the importance of cognitive growth and self-awareness in establishing and maintaining healthy relationships.
Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development and Subaru's Moral Maturation Subaru's moral growth can be explored using Kohlberg's theory of development (Kohlberg, 1981). This theory encompasses three stages; pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional, all of which can be observed in Subaru's relationships with Emilia, Rem, and Beako. Regarding Emilia, Subaru initially operates at the conventional stage by relying on deceit to navigate the unfamiliar world. However, as he matures, he begins to prioritize norms reflecting the conventional stage. As his connections with others deepen over time, Subaru's moral reasoning advances to the post-conventional stage. His selfless actions in protecting Emilia and Rem despite their objections demonstrate a standpoint and signify Subaru's’ progress from self-centeredness to becoming an empathetic and ethical individual (Gilligan, 1982).
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory and Subaru's Growth Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory suggests that an individual's development is influenced by systems of relationships that form their environment, ranging from immediate settings to broader social and cultural contexts (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). In Re: Zero, Subaru's growth, and development can be understood within the framework of these interacting systems. At the microsystem level, Subaru's immediate relationships with Emilia, Rem, and Beako shape his behaviors, emotions, and attitudes. Each relationship introduces unique challenges and rewards, significantly influencing his perception of himself and his environment. For instance, Subaru's growing emotional intelligence and resilience can be linked to his experiences within these microsystems. The mesosystem, which involves interactions between different elements of an individual's microsystem, also plays a crucial role in Subaru's growth. For example, the dynamics between Subaru, Emilia, and Rem introduce Subaru to the complexity of social interactions and the importance of understanding and managing interrelation conflicts. The exosystem, which includes environments not directly experienced but still influential, is represented by the broader political and social structures of the alternate world. Subaru's struggles and efforts to navigate these complex systems—such as the royal selection process and the conflicts between different factions—further drive his psychological and emotional growth. The outermost layer involving broader cultural values and customs, the macrosystem heavily influences Subaru's adaptation to the new world. The values and social norms of the alternate world, distinct from his own, compel Subaru to reassess his behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs, fostering personal growth. Lastly, the chronosystem, encompassing changes over time, is fundamental to understanding Subaru's development. His unique ability to "return by death," which involves temporal changes, provides him with multiple opportunities to learn from his mistakes and adapt his behaviors accordingly.
Cognitive Distortions and Subaru's Psychological Evolution Subaru frequently experiences cognitive distortions, irrational thought patterns that tend to reinforce negative thoughts or emotions (Burns, 1989). The most prominent among them is catastrophic thinking, where Subaru perceives a situation as far worse than it is. This distortion is particularly apparent during his early days in the alternate world, where every challenge or setback is viewed as insurmountable, triggering extreme responses, such as desperate pleas for help or self-sacrificial actions. These cognitive distortions come to light in his relationship with his companions. For instance, when Emilia rejects Subaru's overbearing protection, he catastrophically perceives it as the end of their relationship. His interactions with Beako and Rem further amplify this cognitive distortion, where he sees every disagreement or conflict as a personal failure or an indication of their waning trust in him. However, through consistent exposure to his cognitive distortions and their subsequent consequences, Subaru gradually learns to address them. He learns that disagreements or conflicts are not always catastrophic and can be resolved through communication and mutual understanding. His repeated failures (relapses) and successes in navigating the new world's challenges reinforce this understanding.
Relapses and Personal Growth Subaru's' journey toward growth and understanding involves experiencing relapses as elements. According to the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change, setbacks or relapses are not indicators of failure but integral parts of the change process (Prochaska et al., 1992). This model recognizes that individuals attempting to change their behaviors do not follow a path. Rather a cyclical one encompassing stages like pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and even relapse. In Re: Zero, this cycle is evident through Subaru's’ ability to reset back to a point every time he dies. Each reset represents a relapse triggered by distortions or unsuccessful attempts at overcoming challenges. However, with each reset comes lessons for Subaru as he learns from his mistakes, reevaluates his approach, and develops strategies for survival and problem-solving. These repeated relapses and subsequent cycles of learning and growth significantly contribute to Subaru's development, emotional maturity, and moral evolution.
Conclusion The character growth and development of Subaru in Re: Zero explores many psychological theories within the complexities of his journey. From the perspective of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Bowlby's attachment theory, and Kohlberg's moral development stages, this series gives us an insight into psychology. Subaru's use of defense mechanisms, interactions within Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems, ability to overcome distortions, and understanding that setbacks are part of personal growth all contribute to his development and maturity. Emilia, Rem, Beako, and all other characters play big roles in this journey as catalysts and companions for Subaru. They offer support while presenting challenges that help him grow, highlighting the significance of relationships in development.

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Kino [VAMPIRE ENDING]
Monologue
On Father’s command,
the men clad in white,
all charged towards Kino-kun at once.
They put some kind of mask,
on Kino-kun’s mouth as he attempted to fight back.
It honestly reminded me,
of a scene from a hospital’s operation room.
Why would the Church,
do such a thing...?
ー The scene starts in the Church
Yui: Stop! Let him go!
ー Yui runs up to Seiji
*Thud*
Male Clergyman A: ...Stay away from the Bishop!
*Rustle*
Yui: Hey, you can hear me, right!? Father, I’m begging you!
Kino: ...!
Bishop: ...Haah.
Seiji: I suppose there was a time where I would call myself your Father...
However, now that you have become nothing but a slave to those Vampires, I no longer feel the need to listen to your request.
Yui: ...!
( No way... )
( Is he being serious...? )
( Father, is that really you...? )
Seiji: That being said, that young lady is Eve. She might prove to be useful to use in some way.
I’m sure she’d play a vital role into turning that Vampire, as well as Karlheinz’ sons into our loyal guarddogs.
Come on, seize them.
Shuu: ...So that was their intention after all.
Yui: ( ...At this rate...! )
Laito: Heeh~ Just as we expected, huh? ...You hit the mark, Shuu!
Kou: I guess the oldest brothers have a sixth sense for this sorta thing? I mean, in that case, Ruki has it too, huh?
He arranged back-up for by sending over some Familiars, see?
Reiji: Hurry up and look for Ayato!
Kanato: Oh shut up. Do not tell me what to do.
This is all Ayato’s fault for letting himself get captured by the Church.
If my message is clear, hurry up and show yourself. You’re here somewhere, aren’t you...?
Subaru: Che...Anyway, what’s up with that creepy-lookin’ cross statue...
It grinds my gears...I’ll flatten it with the ground while I’m at it.
Seiji: ...Those pesky Vampires...! Call the chivalry here!
Wipe out all Vampires. We can always revive them as our loyal slaves as long as their corpses remain intact.
ー The chivalry arrives
Monologue
The area turned into a war zone at the blink of an eye.
While everyone else was fighting,
I used this opportunity to quietly snuck my way over to Kino-kun.
I felt that if I wanted to set him free,
it was now or never.
Yui: Kino-kun...
Kino: ...!
Yui: One second, okay? I’ll take off your mask...
Kino: ...Haah...Hey! What are you doing!? Make a run for it already!
Yui: I can’t do that! I have to save you, or else I came here for nothing!
Kino: ...
Yui: ( He’s been chained up with these strange handcuffs. He can’t run away like this... )
( I have to take these off somehow... )
*WOOSH*
Yui: Ow!
Kino: It’s no use! I’m pretty sure these handcuffs have some kind of strange magic spell put on them.
I’m pretty sure...They used Richter’s powers for that...
Anyway, you have to hurry up and run! If you stay here, you’ll...
Yui: I won’t leave you behind...! I promise that I’ll set you free!
( I have to remove them... )
( I’ll rescue Kino-kun no matter what...! )
Monologue
No matter how many times I told her,
she refused to make a run for it.
While watching her desperately attempt to save me,
while being hit by the magic,
for some reason,
my heart started aching.
Hey, Yui.
Why would you,
go this far for me?
I don’t understand at all.
*WOOSH*
Yui: Kuh...!
*Clatter*
*WOOSH*
Kino: How many times do I have to tell you it’s useless!? Cut it out!
*Clatter*
*WOOSH*
Yui: No! I refuse to give u... Guh!?
ー Seiji grabs hold of her
Kino: Yui!
ー He strangles her
Seiji: ....And here I thought I would spare your life out of sheer mercy given our past together...
But I shall end you with my very own hands after all...Fufu...Ahahaha!
ー Seiji tightens his grip
Yui: ...Ah...I can’t brea...Guh...
Kino: ...Cut it outーー!
Seiji: ...Wha!?
*BOOM*
Monologue
Before I knew it, the aformentioned handcuffs had been shattered to pieces,
and the man who would once call himself her Father,
lied on the floor in front of my eyes.
I honestly did not quite know,
what exactly had happened.
However, I had most likely,
used some kind of magic.
Without being aware of it myself.
I simply,
did not want for her to die.
I wanted her to live.
If possible, by my sideーー
*Rustle rustle*
Yui: ...Uhn...?
Kino: ...Yui...!
ー Kino helps her get up
*Rustle rustle*
Yui: What exactly happened to m... ーー Kyah!
ー He embraces her
Kino: ...Thank god. That you’re safe and sound.
Yui: Kino-kun...
Kino: Hey, you see...I believe I really do love you after all.
I truly am so glad to see you alive...
*TIMESKIP*
ー The scene shifts to the forest
Ayato: Phew, that’s finally over with.
Kanato: ...Ayato. You were loafing off inside your cell and didn’t do anything at all.
Ayato: Aah!? Don’t give me that crap! It’s you guys who took forever to come save me! Fuck off!
Kanato: Haah...? We went through all that trouble to save you and that’s the attitude we get in return? How could you...
Kino: ...What are we going to do with the people of the Church which we captured?
Shuu: Who knows. I guess we can just throw them into the dungeon for the timebeing?
I’m sure someone will take care of them once things calm down over at the Demon World, no? Pwaah...
Kino: But...Hey, are you okay with that?
Yui: Me?
Kino: I mean, that Bishop is your...
Yui: ...That doesn’t matter anymore. That man isn’t my Father.
But you know, it’s not like I’ll be all alone now...
Kino: ...Hm. I guess you’re right. You’re not alone, that’s for sure.
There’s a whole squad of annoyances over there. ...And you’ve got me as well.
Yui: Kino-kun...
Ayato: Aah!? The fuck did you just say!? Are you pickin’ a fight with me!?
Kino: Haah...I won’t bother with that still. Don’t you think it’s about time you understand my intentions?
Ayato, and the others as well...I’m sorry for all the trouble I caused you.
I’m not asking for your forgiveness, okay? But I just wanted to say sorry.
Ayato: ...Hmph. You really are a lost cause. Even though you’re supposed to be my big bro.
Laito: Agreed...
Shuu: What a pain...
Yui: ( Right, Kino-kun is everyone’s older brother... )
Kino: Fufu.
Yui: ( ...Kino-kun looks happy. )
Ruki: Seems like everything ended well.
Yui: ...Ruki-kun! And Azusa-kun as well...!
Azusa: Eve...Long time no see. That wasn’t easy, huh...?
Yui: Yeah...But I’m okay. Everyone helped me out, also...
Yuma: Oi, y’all! Don’t be goin’ ahead while lettin’ me take care of the injured dude!
Yui: Ah, Yuma-kun...ーー!
( The person leaning against Yuma-kun’s shoulder... )
( Could it be... )
Kino: ...Yuuri...?
Yuuri: Kino...So you were safe.
Yui: Yuuri-san...But how...?
( I mean, he was...by Richter-san... )
Yuuri: These people saved me while I was unconscious after being attacked by magic.
More importantly, Kino...I...
Kino: Yuuri...!
ー Kino runs up to him
Kino: I’m so glad...to see you alive. There’s still something I forgot to tell you after all...
For the longest time...I thought I was all alone. Ever since I was a child...
Even though you were there for me at all times...But I took this for granted...
I truly am sorry...
Yuuri: ...Kino.
No, I am the one who should apologize. I was unable to save you while you were suffering.
Besides...I failed to understand you. Even though I spent so much time by your side.
My sincere...apologies.
Kino: ...No, it’s fine. You came back, that’s all what matters...
Let’s forget about the past. We can start thinking about the future...and everything else, from this moment onwards.
Yuuri: ...Kino.
Kou: Thank god, thank god~ Good job, you guys!
Yuma: We should probably head back to the Demon World soon.
Azusa: Right...
Ayato: Guess we’ll go home as well.
Kino: ...
Yui: ( I wonder what Kino-kun will do now...? )
( I wonder if it’s impossible to have him move in with the others at the Sakamaki manor now that they’re getting along well...? )
Hey, what will you do, Kino-kun?
Kino: Eh? Me? I will...head back to the Demon World. To my house at Rotigenberg...
Yui: Eh...?
Kino: Fufu. I bet you’re thinking why I’d bother going back to that horrible place, right?
But...I declared to everyone that I would guide them towards the Promised Land.
Besides...It’s also a place full of memories with Yuuri.
Yui: Kino-kun...
Kino: Anyway, I’ll get going now. I wish you the best, okay...?
Yui: Wait!
Kino: Eh?
Yui: ( I shouldn’t leave him alone...I have to be there for him. )
( ...No, that’s not it. )
( I want to be with him... )
Hey, can’t I come with you? To Rotigenberg...
Kino: ...With me...?
Yui: I said that I wouldn’t leave you alone, remember?
Kino: ...Hm, I see. But...Let me just confirm one thing?
If you’re only saying this out of sympathy, then don’t even bother. However, if you happen to feel the same way about me as I do about you...
If you want to be with me because you like me, and not just because you feel like you can’t let me be alone.
Then come along. With me...
Yui: ( I want to be with him, because I like him... )
( Perhaps that’s the case... )
Yeah, I’ll go.
Kino: ...Come here then.
ー He pulls her close
*Rustle*
Kino: Let’s look for it...Together. For the Promised Land...Nn...
*Smooch*
Yui: ...
( I’m sure he’ll be able to find it. )
*TIMESKIP*
Monologue
Ever since,
we have returned to Rotigenberg.
Kino-kun apologized to the Ghouls,
for everything he has done up till now.
While they were surprised at first,
they have gradually begun to follow Kino-kun,
out of their own free will.
I still don’t quite understand,
how time works at the Demon World.
But according to the letter,
Ayato-kun sent to us the other day,
in the human world,
several years have already passed by now.
Thanks to Kino-kun’s endeavors,
I believe that the unfair treatment against the Ghouls,
has gotten considerably less as of late.
And at last, we...ーー
Kino: Phew. I’m completely worn out. But we’re finally here.
Yui: ( What a beautiful place... )
( So this is where we’ll be living with the Ghouls from now on. )
Kino: Say, do we still have some guava juice left?
Yui: Yeah, I’m pretty sure we have one more bottle...
*Rustle rustle*
Yui: Huh...?
( That’s strange... )
Kino: Eeh? ...Don’t tell me we’re all out?
Yui: Yeah...I’m sorry. I suppose I’ll write another letter to Ayato-kun asking him to send some over from the human world.
Kino: Bummer. I was really in the mood for some right now.
I mean, can you blame me? Our arrival at the ‘Promised Land’ is a moment to remember, no?
Yui: You’re right...
Kino: Oh well, but...I guess it can’t be helped if we have none. I guess I’ll just have to make do with this instead then.
Hey, lift your face.
Yui: Eh...?
*Rustle*
On certain CGs, little black roses will appear on the screen. If you click on them, you get an extra line of dialogue.
“You taught me many important things...Such as how to love someone...and trust others. Thank you so much, truly.”
“At this Promised Land, I want to live together forever. With you, the person more dear to me than anything or anyone else in this world...”
Kino: Nn...
Yui: ...
Kino: Fufu, thanks for the treat~ ...Just kidding?
Yui: ( ...Geez, Kino-kun... )
Kino: The two of us...We’ll be together forever.
Even if you say no, I’m not letting go of you ever again, do you understand?
Yui: ...Why would I ever say no?
Kino: Fufu, good point. ...I knew that, obviously.
Yui: ( I’ll be by your side forever, okay? )
( With the man I love so very much... )
ーー THE END ーー

DREAMING OF YOU; DREAMING OF FAIRY TALE
PREVIOUS||
REALITY NOTES 02
||NEXT
"hold on tight, MC." Mao says as you seat on the backseat of the bike he brought with him. You circle your arms around his wrist to not fall off, he froze for a moment but chuckle.
"Geez... Don't worry Ill make sure will arrive in the spot in time!" He says before he start to paddle. "I trust you, mao so I don't worry that much." You commented as you felt the soft breeze of the wind blows around you two as you went zooming with the bike.
You see the scenery that you two passes by. It's calm and peaceful. The wind that softly carry wind from a far birds singing and all those, and the face you did not sleep well last night.
You start to doz off and leaning against Mao 's back you snooze off to dream land. Your friend who notice you stopped pointing out things you seen in the street with the weight of you leaning against him realize you have fallen asleep.
"Oh man..." He chuckle hopeless but made sure to carefully ride the bike to not let you fall off or waken you up. It's a good thing that's there's only few people and vehicles out in the street.
He remembers that a few days ago, his friends have dragged him into a secret meeting in a local food stool ( clearly not asking to be treated by him/lies) and start to tease him how he have no rizz and cannot even ask you out in a date.
... Few days ago.
"Mao I'm going to chat with MC cause you have no back bones. " Soob says to him as he take out his phone to chat with you. You replied as a derange 24/7 online person would do which made Subaru smile in devious manner.
"now time to ask them out for you --" yet before the ensemble stars can frank out say that mao want a date with you, mao have taken his phone and change the sentence about him asking a question instead.
"HEY!" Subaru frown as he takes his phone back from mao, he look at the chat and look at disapproval at his friend as he still refuse to ask such question directly.
"Geez. Your lame sometimes, mao. Anyway, what should we ask them..." Soob thought about it as he stop mao from stealing his phone again. "Let's see. Let's ask them if they want a outside date or not." The annoying orange chuckle as he send the chat.
"Obviously they rather stay at home." Mao replied before your text arrive which is almost the same answer you replied with. Making soob look at mao like his some creep. "How did you know that? You stalker." Soob pointed out making mao blush.
"N-no! Of course they'll rather sleep or watch anime. I would too if I'm not busy..." The short king can't even say more as soob is looking at him even more strangely.
"STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!" -mao.
"Fine. For the next question. Since bike is a romantic or scooter." Hokke have stolen the phone from soob to ask the next question.
"Bike." Just as soob taken his phone back and your reply have been sent, the annoying orange and leader of the group give a look at mao as mao have said the same thing you choice.
"what?" -mao. "Creepy~ worm in mc belly. Can't even ask them out." Soob sing along as he ask the next question as suggested by Yuuki. About the couple outfit.
"It depend which outfit. I remember they want the Danganronpa jacket..." Mao who cannot help but look at the phone too commented and the three now giving him a look. A look of disbelief.
"Geez mao you sure your not a tape worm?" Subaru commented "then what do you think would their answer be. Flowers or plush?"
"Plush. Since they like cute things." Mao chuckle as he remembers you eyeing some plush from online shops and putting them to cart yet never order them cause no budget for it at the moment. "..." The three who saw your reply once again give a look at mao and went to ask a last question.
"Romantic dinner or Ice cream tape worm mao." "A dinner needs a reservation. It would been fine but knowing them they would rather enjoy many flavors of ice cream... Ah I think I owe them some ice cream." Mao remembers you jamming his inbox with reels about him treating you in an ice parlor date every other day.
"Uwahhh... What a creep." With Subaru words, hokke and even Yuuki cannot help but nodded as they witness mao being a all knowing about your preference very well yet a coward to even use it to his advantage!
... present time
Thinking of the past made mao not notice the cat that is passing by. He quickly made a break before he can hit the black cat. You were awaken by the sudden break. "Huh...?" You look what cause it and saw a black cat seating in the middle of the road. "What a cute cat." You commented. "Oh, mc. I'm sorry for waking you up." Mao quickly apologize to you. He felt bad for waking you up in such manner.
"It's okii." You yawn as you two watch the cat walks toward you two and circle around you two and even went to seat on your lap to look at you as if seeing if your the one it's looking for but realizing it's not you. The cat went off your lap and went to his merry way like it did not almost went flat by a bike.
"What a weird cat." You commented. "Yup, it's so eerie it's like human eyes staring at us." Mao added before he and you continue your trip to the ice cream parlor. Not from a far the cat that was watching you two leave disappear into the shadow into the next place he need to cheek to find his owner.

hey look it's the first 2,000 words or so of this post-El Camino fic ive been working on
After 26 years in the desert, the first big adjustment was coping with the cold. Sure, it got cold in New Mexico, but it was nothing compared to Alaska's bitter freezes. Back when Alaska was just an idea in his head, he thought he could handle it. Oversized hoodies and beanies pulled low over his ears had been his wardrobe since he was a teenager, after all—they should have served him well up north.
Not so much. Less than a week after he arrived, after a night of shivering himself awake next to the wood stove, he got into the truck and headed into town.
It was a small town, vastly different from Albuquerque's busy streets and sprawling neighborhoods. Most of the vehicles around here were old trucks and Jeeps, bodies half-rusted away, with the occasional Subaru or SUV parked along the street. Small cars didn't fare well in the snow. Before the next big snowfall, he'd have to get chains. First things first, though: more layers.
A storefront called SNOWBUSTER'S EMPORIUM caught his eye. In the windows, a headless mannequin modeled a fur-lined parka and matching trousers, with a scarf around its neck and sturdy boots. He cut the engine halfway down the street and headed inside.
The bell over the door rang out, punctuating the classic rock playing softly over hidden speakers. “Hey, Joe!” came a woman's voice, but he couldn't see anyone.
“Uh. Not Joe. Sorry,” he said.
A head poked up from behind a rack of sweaters. “Oh! Nope, definitely not.” The woman, dark-haired and dark-eyed, shot him a mischievous grin. “Sorry about that.” She stepped out from behind the rack and approached him. “I'm Ness. New in Haines?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, let me know if I can help you find anything, okay?” She looked friendly enough, in her early forties with her dark hair in twin braids and a light-green flannel shirt buttoned high. “Passing through or staying?”
“Haven't decided,” he said. That, at least, wasn't a lie.
“This is a nice town. We always welcome a friendly face. How long have you been here?”
“Few days.”
“How do you like it so far?” As Ness spoke, she moved around the store, straightening displays or re-folding scarves.
“Not bad. A little cold at night.”
She hummed in agreement. “Staying warm at night is tricky. I always recommend getting a dog for that. But if you're allergic to dogs or you're not interested in getting one, there's always long johns! Back here.”
After a brief hesitation, he followed her to the back of the store and she gestured to a rickety shelf stacked with folded long johns. “Take a look back here, and if you don't find something you like, we can always special order something for you. It'll take a couple weeks to get in, but it's worth it. Welcome to town.” She stuck out her hand.
He shook it. “Thanks. Lucas,” he added.
Her smile widened. “Nice to meet you, Lucas. If you need me, I'll be up at the register. Just holler.” She went back to the front, leaving him to stare at the woolen clothing in silence.
But his attention just shifted right back to the shelves. They were splintering, half-eaten away, and looked like they were a rough sneeze away from falling apart. Flimsy plywood held together with wood glue and prayers. Before he could stop himself, he called over, “Where'd you get these shelves?”
Ness propped herself up on her elbows, leaning against the front case. “Why?”
“Hope you didn't pay too much for 'em, or I'd say you got ripped off.”
An eyebrow went up along with a small smile. “And how much would be too much?”
He scanned the rest of the store, eyeing the shelves in the walls. “Fifty bucks.”
“That bad, huh?”
“Yeah.” A horrible thought struck him. “You didn't make 'em yourself, did you?”
“No, I didn't make them.”
“Oh. Okay.” His heart rate started to return to normal.
“My brother did,” Ness finished as the bell above the door chimed out again.
“Your brother did what?” asked the man who'd pushed open the door. He wasn't particularly tall, maybe three inches taller than him, but his wide build, grown-out beard, and intense stare all immediately indicated that he was not someone to be messed with.
“Apparently, my brother is a piss-poor carpenter.”
“No, wait—that's not what I said,” he protested, silently kicking himself. He'd been in town less than a week, in this store less than five minutes, and he was already making an ass of himself. How the fuck was he supposed to keep himself out of trouble when he couldn't last a day with regular people?
“Lucas, this is Joe, my brother. We own the store.”
“I'm... sorry,” he mumbled, starting to skirt around the edge of the store toward the other door. His first, panicked reaction was to go for the gun in his waistband—the gun he didn't have on him. “I have this bad habit, I talk too much—look, I'll just leave and I won't bother you again.”
“That one doesn't open,” Joe said, his beard twitching.
“Ah.” He couldn't get a read on Joe's expression, but he didn't want to look too closely at him, either. “Are you gonna let me go?”
The siblings exchanged a look and then Joe stepped away from the door.
He took the opening presented and bolted before they could change their minds.
The snow crunched under his stiff boots, heavier on his feet than he was used to. Discomfort came from unexpected angles, from the cold against his scalp and the tug of still-healing scars when he talked, to tight new boots that hadn't broken in yet and an ache that went bone-deep when he bent his left knee. He focused on that to keep from panicking, focused on the key digging into his palm as he finally drew level with the truck.
The engine hadn't cooled much, so the air that blasted him was still warm. He fumbled through his unfamiliar pockets until he found his cigarettes and lighter. Maybe one day he'd quit, but right now, he didn't care. There was no guarantee he'd even make it to 30 anyway.
He needed a drink to calm himself down, but the idea of drinking alone after spending the better part of a year alone was enough to drive him crazy on its own. So going to a bar was the best option.
Fortunately, he didn't have to drive far. Barely a block away, he pulled into a practically-empty parking lot and went inside. It wasn't the sleaziest dive he'd been to, but it was up there. The dim lighting inside obscured anything farther than ten feet away. In some dark corner, only the quiet click of pool balls cracking together indicated a game of billiards. Despite the NO SMOKING sign behind the bar, an old-timer sat at a far table with a fat cigar burning. He went up to the bar, vacant aside from one bleary-eyed patron, and flagged down the bartender. “Jack and Coke.”
“ID.”
He slid his license across the bar top. The bartender's eyes scanned the name, the photo, the birthdate. “Sure thing, Mr. Driscoll. Five bucks.” She slid it back to him.
“Isn't it ten?” he asked, pointing to the prices listed above the bar.
“Happy Hour started at four. Jeez,” the bartender added. “Never heard a guy complain about a cheap drink before.” She pulled out a glass and started pouring, then nodded at someone over his head.
Before he could turn around to look, another body was in his space, sliding onto the stool next to his. “Just put it on my tab, Ruthie.”
“Sure thing. Anything for you? Get you your usual?”
“Nah, I'll just be a minute.” Leather creaked as weight shifted. “Never did get a chance to properly make your acquaintance. Joseph Parker. Everyone calls me Joe. Nella said you're Lucas?”
He swallowed and forced himself to look at Joe. “Yeah. Luke is good too.” It brought Luke Skywalker to mind. Badger and Skinny Pete were Trekkies if anything, but he'd always preferred Star Wars.
“Luke.” It looked like Joe was grinning, but it was hard to tell for sure.
“Yeah. Luke. My last name's Driscoll, though. Not anything cool, like Skywalker.”
Joe laughed, a big and genuine laugh, and Luke took a swig of his Jack and Coke to hide his sigh of relief.
“So, like... what are you doing here? You didn't follow me here just to buy me a drink, did you?”
Joe nodded slowly and lightly tapped his pinkie and ring fingers on the slick wood of the bar top. “You're right. I just wanted to—look, are you okay? When you left the store, you looked like you were about to pass out.”
“Huh?”
“What you said? 'You gonna let me go?' You were shaking like a Chihuahua.”
“But your sister said—”
Joe waved dismissively. “Ness was messing with me, that's all. That's what she does. I know those shelves're garbage. They've been like that for ten years. We fight about them all the time.”
“So why don't you just replace them?”
“You'll have to ask her that. Sometimes it feels like the only way they'll get fixed is if someone does it overnight.” He propped himself by his elbow. “Bah, it's not that important. Listen, there's no hard feelings, Luke. You gave a fair and moreover honest assessment of my work. It don't bother me any. Besides, if you keep talking to Ness about it, you might be able to help me convince her to replace them.” Joe got to his feet and held out his hand. “Come on back sometime and we'll take care of you.”
He shook Joe's hand. “Yeah, for sure. I'll be back.”
“Cool. See you around, Luke.” He stepped away, his hand lingering a fraction of a second longer in Luke's, and Luke swore his heart missed a beat but by the time he processed it, Joe was out the door.
He swirled his drink for a moment and then took another swig, grimacing slightly at the burning tang of whiskey.
“Well, since Joe's paying, want another?” Ruthie asked.
“He's really not gonna kick my ass?”
“Who, Joe? He's a big cuddly kitty-cat. Besides, I wouldn't offer if it was gonna be a problem. So how 'bout it?”
He stared into the glass for a few seconds and then finished it off. “Yeah, sure.”
“Great.” She mixed up another and swapped out the glasses. “Here. So, I'm gathering that you're new around Haines. Makes sense, I've never seen you before. You hanging around?”
“Haven't decided. I haven't unpacked yet, if that's what you mean.”
“Well, why not?”
“I don't know.”
“Think you could stay for, say, a month?”
That wasn't what he expected. “For what?”
“Well, if I'm being honest, it's a little boring. Everyone knows everyone. Kind of a relief to get some fresh blood in here.”
Something about that comment put him on-edge. “You're not... uh, vampires, are you?”
Ruthie laughed so hard she cried. Neither of the other two bar patrons even looked over at them.
“I'm guessing that means no.”
Her giggles slowly subsiding, she wiped her eyes with the back of her wrists. “No, no vampires in this town that I know of.”
“Werewolves?”
Ruthie looked like she was going to lose it again. “Luke, I need your help to get Joe a date. This isn't a monster movie. Not to imply the two are mutually exclusive or anything.”
“Why do you need my help?”
“Because you're exciting, you're bright, shiny, and new, and you're probably looking for new friends of your own anyway, right? So it's a win-win.”
“Sure. So what's your angle in this?”
“What makes you think I have one?”
“Just seems a little weird, you know? Asking a stranger for help setting up your friend.”
“What? Come on, I bet you're a great wingman. But listen, hey. He's a good guy. He just needs to shake it up a bit. Stranger from out of town sounds like the perfect way to do that. But, hey, if you're not interested, no problem.”
There was only one right answer to this, and the wrong answer felt dangerous. But there was a tug in his chest, something telling him to stay. So he compromised. “I'll think about it, okay?”
Ruthie nodded appreciatively. “That's more than I can rightly ask a stranger.”

How about “I thought that you said that you’d passed your test.” “No, I said I could drive, I never said how well.” with Eddie Munson? 💖
Thanks Vee!! Idk how good this is but I had fun writing it. This is for all the homie who drive like animals but still managed to get their license 🍻
Bad Driver
Pairing: Eddie Munson x GN!reader
word count: 745
summary: Eddie experiences your driving for the first time.
warnings: none! (except way too many commas)
drabble below cut
Eddie had heard stories about your time learning how to drive. How you once drove into a brick wall when you’d zoned out behind the wheel and the estimated number of curbs you’d run over hitting double digits. That’s why when his van ended up in the shop and you had offered to take over his job of driving the two of you to school, he was wary, to say the least.
However, you had convinced him after swearing that those incidents had occurred during your early days and that you passed your driver’s test, so how bad could you be? After all, Eddie himself had never experienced your driving so it wasn’t fair of him to judge from a few stories.
His agreement caused you to cheer on the other end of the phone, promising to be at his trailer at 7 to pick him up. You were excited to return the favor after a year of him driving you to and from school every day.
The next morning you greet Eddie with a kiss when he climbs into your mother’s Subaru and force him to put on his seatbelt for safety.
The drive starts smoothly, you focus on the road and only tap your fingers against the steering wheel to Eddie’s music rather than giving a full performance like you normally would, but then you start telling him about your weekend and blow through a stop sign while distracted.
No biggie, Eddie thinks, there was no one at the intersection anyways.
He decides to take over the conversation so you could direct all your attention to the road in front of you. He passes the time by explaining the new storyline he had come up with for his D&D group as you continue through Hawkins.
The car approaches a four-way intersection with lights at the town square. The light hanging on your side flashes yellow as you speed towards it. Eddie expects you to stop and wait your turn, but instead, you press down harder on the gas pedal.
He prepares to make the sign of the cross and pray to God to spare his life, something he’d never dreamed of doing before as the traffic light changes to red, but you continue to speed through the intersection, causing at least one car to honk at you.
“Ah, fuck off.” You wave casually as if you didn’t almost cause a car crash.
“Maybe you should slow down, babe. You’re hauling precious cargo.”
“Eds, I’ve seen you go 50 in a 35.”
“I was trying to get you home in time for the Grease showing.” He defends.
“And I'm trying to get us to school on time so you can actually graduate.”
All you had to do was turn into the school parking lot and then he would have safely arrived in one piece, but at the speed you were going, Eddie could see this going wrong.
Eddie desperately clutches the handle above his window, bracing himself as you take a sharp left turn sending the two of you, as well as all the loose items in the car, flying sideways. You also manage to partially run over the curb.
You laugh nervously and mutter, “I hope no one saw that.”
By the time pull into a parking space, narrowly missing someone’s brand-new corvette, Eddie is prepared to make the sign of the cross and pray to God to spare his life.
When you finally put the car in park and take the keys out of the ignition, Eddie breathes a sigh of relief.
“Fuck, I’ve never felt that close to death in my life.”
He boyfriend slumps against his seat, clutching his chest to try and steady his racing heart.
“I thought you said you passed your test!”
“No, I said I could drive, I never said how well.” You clarify while gathering the supplies that had fallen out of your backpack due to your erratic driving.
“Oh come on! Was I really that bad?”
“Yes.”
Eddie cups your shocked face, giving you a sweet kiss on the lips.
“Baby, there are so many things that you’re good at, but driving isn’t one of them.”
“You’re lucky I’m in love with you, Munson.”
“And I love you, but I am never getting in a car with you behind the wheel again.”
“Fine, but if anything happens to my Mom’s car while you’re driving it we’re dead.”
“Babe, we’d be dead if you’re the one driving it.”
