Let's say one of them gets sick--not to the point of being hospitalized, but maybe a cold or a flu. How would the other two try to care for him? (By the way, I just finished season 1 the other day. Such a cute show! I was already on the En x Atsushi train from the first couple of episodes, but after the finale, I couldn't help but want to include Kinshiro as well. I'm so glad to have found others who ship the three together!)
(My answer for this question got a little out of hand so I'm sorry about the length...! I’m just so glad to see someone still interested in this ship in 2023! it was a lot of fun to think about these three in depth again. I too was a big En/Atsushi fan early on but their dynamic as a trio was undeniable!!! If you have any other questions/thoughts to share, this ask box will be open for them!!! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these rambling musings of mine :] )
I imagine En, who is lethargic on a GOOD day, would be the biggest baby of them all when he’s sick. 100% doesn’t even try to leave the bed, just whines until Atsushi or Kinshirou agrees to stay with him / feed him his soup / give him a gentle shoulder or head massage to help with his headache, etc… Atsushi is, as always, the mom friend, so I imagine he’s more than happy to acquiesce, and has a very involved soup he makes from scratch whenever any of them is sick, and he makes it while Kinshirou’s on babysitting duty. Meanwhile, Kinshirou: he may act cold or above it all at times, but he’s a natural worrywart. You probably haven’t gotten to that part of the series yet so sliiiiight spoiler warning (although I’ll keep it pretty vague), but in season 2 his somewhat excessive worrying about Atsushi is actually a pretty big plot point! So, I imagine that kind of behavior definitely comes out in full force when En is sick. Kinshirou would be the most genuinely upset of them all (including En), fussing and fretting while Atsushi laughs from the kitchen and tells him En will be just fine and that he’s definitely being a big baby / exaggerating how bad he feels because he knows Kinshirou will fawn over him (and he is right. He’s known En longer, so he’s quite familiar with his antics!). If medicine or groceries need to be gotten, it’s always Atsushi who goes: Kinshirou doesn’t want to let En out of his sight.
Usually, Kinshirou is the first person to chide En about his laziness being a bad habit, so you’d think that in a situation where that laziness (and accompanying whininess!) is upped, there would be a lot more scolding, but it’s quite the opposite: on a normal day, En isn’t doing much by CHOICE. When he’s sick, he can’t help it, and Kinshirou becomes much more accommodating because of it. He may know En doesn’t REALLY need to be treated so gently, but he treats it as an excuse of sorts to be as soft and obliging to En’s whims as he wants, since he would normally encourage him to be more proactive and do things himself for his own good. Basically, En being sick is an excuse for Kinshirou to be doting and spoil him a little, almost as if to make up for being a bit of a (loving) hardass on regular days! En, for his part, absolutely loves it of course.
En I feel would bounce back the quickest out of the three of them, so it’s almost never a long affair when he’s sick, but he does drag it out a bit because he likes when Kinshirou is soft with him, so he might play-cough or complain a bit for the next week after he finally recuperates to score some bonus cuddles and kisses.
Now, when Atsushi is sick: he tends to try to diligently do his usual chores/work, but quickly is cowed when En and Kinshirou team up to force him to REST. He’s conflict avoidant to a fault: if his boyfriends say he’s going to lie down, take his medicine, and nap until he sweats out his fever, who is he to argue? He’s definitely the best cook between the three of them, and his get-well-soon soup is a bit complicated/involved, so early in their relationship especially, they’re not quite able to tackle it alone. If he’s well enough (according to them), he might be allowed to sit at the dinner table wrapped up in a thick fluffy blanket and walk them through the steps, but if he tries to help at all (“Just let me dice the vegetables, it barely takes any strength!”) he’s quickly met with a glare from Kinshirou and a disabling octopus-hug from En. If he’s truly under the weather and can’t manage that, I’d say Kinshirou is quite capable of making Atsushi something comforting and tasty, since he canonically lives alone I believe (and thus has presumably had to cook for himself on several occasions). En becomes the human teddy bear on such occasions, providing constant calming comfort as Atsushi lets his diligence slip for once and openly wallows in his misery a bit (definitely not to the same degree as En does, but still). Once he’s fed, watered, and medicated, Kinshirou joins their little cuddle puddle, as fevers and illness tend to make Atsushi dwell on the pains of the past, and Kinshirou’s presence in particular helps keep the bad feelings at bay (he’s there, he’s WITH Atsushi, they’re not apart, things are so much better now, etc. etc.). Atsushi I picture kinda going from 0 to 100 quite fast, so one day he’s feeling bad and the next morning it’s almost like it never happened. He always wants to throw himself back into the swing of things right away, but of course, Kinshirou and En are having NONE OF THAT, and force him to take it easy for a while longer before they deem him well enough to be left alone.
Kinshirou is a different beast entirely. He’s more disciplined than anyone else they know, and so even En and Atsushi would be hard-pressed to identify when he’s started to feel ill before it starts getting out of hand. He hides his truest pains well, and is reluctant to show weakness even now, when he knows logically that he has people who love him and who he can trust with the fragile, needy parts of himself. Deep down, he still feels it would be asking too much of them to bare those “ugly” parts of himself and expect them to care for him and take them in stride. He sometimes doesn’t feel deserving of their attention when he’s not giving something back, even when he’s at his lowest and has nothing TO give back. Memories of how he behaved towards them for so long embarrass him still, and he sometimes bitterly thinks he was just /lucky/ that they could still love him even after they saw him at his nastiest and neediest, and that he has to do all he can to make sure his luck doesn’t run out. These negative feelings are only exacerbated by his feverish state when sick, which makes it hard to think straight. He worries that acting anything like he did then, wanting or demanding attention and care beyond what they freely give him, being /greedy/ for it, will make them think of how he was then like it always makes him think of it. When he is sick and frustrated and snaps out of pain and exhaustion, he thinks of himself as he was, and he doesn’t want them to think of him that way, so he’s reluctant to reveal it at all, and presses on as normal until either they notice on their own or he simply can’t go on anymore and it FORCES them to notice (often because he passes out from sheer exhaustion). And of course, every time, they prove his worst fears wrong, because they DO love him, and they DO want to care for him and make his hurt better any way they possibly can, no matter if he’s a little short with them.
Once his diligent, poised facade is broken, I imagine Kinshirou to be the weepiest and most miserable of the three when sick (compared to En, who mostly just whines about any and all discomfort and pain and doesn’t want to deal with anything, and Atsushi, who is more easily comforted and rarely falls into sadness spirals). He spends so much energy and time keeping his feelings in check, whether for the sake of his duties or out of personal preference (or those misguided feelings of obligation to be “perfect” for En and Atsushi), that when the dam breaks, there’s just that much more ready to flood out. He cries quite a bit, often quietly, sniffling miserably and hiding his face in whoever’s neck is closest, and so water and electrolyte drinks are a big must. One of his boyfriends absolutely MUST be with him at all times (although that’s basically par for the course when any of them is sick), though he will sometimes blearily insist that he’s okay and that En and Atsushi can leave him be and do whatever they have to/want to do (as if they haven’t dropped anything and everything already from the second that they realized he needed them). Atsushi will still make his Amazing soup, but he might rush it just a tad, because he can hear Kinshirou crying for him from the bedroom, all warbled and wet, even as he snuggles into En’s embrace and grips him as tightly as his sickness-weakened hands possibly can. They’d set him up in the kitchen like they do with Atsushi sometimes, but when he’s sick enough to need help, he’s too sick to sit up straight, so they may sometimes have to resort to something silly, like having their phones open on a call so Atsushi can talk to Kinshirou easily from the kitchen and reassure him from afar with his vocal presence. Feeling abandoned is the absolute worst possible thing for Kinshirou, especially when he’s sick and vulnerable, so even when he sleeps (usually fitfully), both En and Atsushi want to be there, because once early in their relationship he woke up to neither of them in the room (Atsushi was at the store, En was puttering around the house looking for something to entertain Kinshirou with when he woke up) and the resulting heartbreak when a delirious Kinshirou thought they had disappeared for good was too much for them to bear. For a while even after both of them had returned, he was completely inconsolable. They’d rather die than let him go through that again.
(Of course, they wouldn’t simply forget that that happened afterwards, no matter how much Kinshirou would like them to. They talk about it, about the still-underlying insecurities and fears that plague Kinshirou (evidently deeply enough that he believes the people who love him may turn on him over essentially nothing), and they work through it together. It gets better over time, with patience and love :] )
Kinshirou is the one for whom sickness tends to linger, so even when he’s well enough to go back to school and his duties, he will likely still be a bit fatigued and sniffly, so En and Atsushi remain clingy and overprotective until he’s in tip-top shape (and honestly, probably a bit after too. It never hurts!)

I don't know what's better, the bedroom eyes En keeps sending Kin (and Kin who blushes furiously every time, which En clearly enjoys) or the hand Atsushi keeps reaching out (which Kin keeps refusing because of that stupid childhood spat) Do I love the flirting or the yearning more?
EnKinAtsu is the only real solution.

A: Kin-chan was incredibly nervous about telling Arima and Akoya, so we waited quite a while before making the announcement. Since they’re his closest friends, he wanted to tell them himself and make up for keeping it from them for so long, so he insisted on delivering this whole elaborate speech- but of course En and I were there supporting him! I don’t think he thought they’d react badly per se, but he was still shaking a little while he spoke.
I think he was most worried about Arima, but Arima was... quite a bit more enthusiastic than any of us anticipated, actually.
K: I feel silly for having thought he might be upset... he’s only ever wanted the best for me. I’m truly lucky to know him.
[[Sorry this took so long!! I’ve been meaning to answer this question in particular for a while (I had the idea a LONG time ago) so I wanted to put a little more effort into it which ended up taking more time! I’m still getting used to clip studio paint too, which made the process a bit longer. But I hope the result was worth the wait :) I’ll try to answer another ask whenever I have time!!]]
[[Also, in case you didn’t spot it I was trying to reference this!]]

Part 4 / ?, now with pets and vampire stalkers.
Once again this is a long and image-heavy post, but at least this time some of the images are of a cute Sim kitten. I finally bought all the updates for Sims 4 so goodbye to all my spending money for this month, but now I can play it again.
I was super excited about getting Kinatsuen a cat, but I wanted them to have the exact cat I picture when I imagine them having a cat so I couldn't adopt any of the stray kitties or any of the ones on the computer. So I just made her as a kitten in Create A Sim from the Manage Households option, since there was no other way to do it... but we can say, for story purposes, that they went out and adopted her.
Their new gallery portrait. En looks like he's about to pass out. She's too cute for him to handle.
I also changed Atsushi's aspiration to Master Chef and Kinshirou's to Soulmate, because I felt bad having En make progress on his aspiration while they were stuck longing for a family. (Also they weren't getting all the useful satisfaction points you get for doing aspiration things.) Once they've finished these aspirations, I'll give them the original ones back.
I start playing the household and
this is what I find. Don’t abandon Hou-chan like this, she’s just a kitten ;-;
She’s so adorable, though. She is an affectionate, clever, and friendly kitty!
Atsushi admires her cuteness. This seems like a place for a Lion King joke, but I don’t want to detract from the cute.
It's late so they all go to sleep. Hou-chan follows Atsushi into the room to sleep near him even though she has her own bed al;sdkf I'm just... really charmed... I love her...
She's so needy... wow. My other Sims' pets aren't like this at all. The affectionate trait is powerful. (But it's cute!)
Kinshirou fixed a broken sink, and now he's rummaging through the discarded bits for useful parts. I took this screenshot just because it's such a strange sight.
He’s pissed off that he had to do something so disgusting. Poor baby.
There’s a big market for Kinshirou’s thoughts on etiquette.
I wish I'd bothered to come up with custom names for the other two books now because it's funny to see things like this but oh well, I guess. He was still learning! His titles weren't very good yet.
This painting perturbs me. Hou-chan is the only saving grace of this screenshot.
Fuck. I hate chance cards. H a t e. ...All my legacy Sims and my City Living girl would set up in the street (if they were in the painter career), because they're all that type. But I think En just wants to give up... An excuse not to work, what could be better...
En's laziness worked out for the best this time. It's a shame about the money, though. They're a bit broke.
Before work, Atsushi makes a bunch of quick salads so his boyfriends don’t have to cook. (That is to say, I’m working on his new aspiration.)
Kinshirou and En have a date scheduled, but En comes home tense from work (even though he earned his salary, despite what that chance card result said). So he goes to join Kinshirou in meditating the tension away before they leave.
Sadly, Kinshirou gets bored, and the TV bores him even more because the action channel just isn’t cultured enough for him. You can’t make this stuff up, I swear... And by the time he’s over it, En is asleep. So their date is postponed. There are no screenshots because I was hoping they'd get it together and I wouldn't have to go into so much detail lol
But Atsushi gets promoted! So the night isn't a total waste. He's a mixologist now.
Yes, darling, we’re all very proud.
I don't know why he doesn't have glasses in his work outfit, by the way. I didn't design it.
His hours are even worse than before, from 6pm to 2am. But he gets three days off now instead of just two, which is a relief.
Meanwhile, Hou-chan loves her little toy bird so much that she wants to take it with her everywhere, even if that means she has to glitch and walk around stuck in it.
Atsushi, savior of kittens.
Atsushi wants to play with her with the wand, since that seems safer, but she wants to use the litter box. So he follows her into the bathroom... Let her have some privacy, Atsushi...
Meanwhile, En paints a masterpiece-quality painting! Aside from being necessary for his aspiration, that's just really cool!! I'm proud. Not sure whether to keep it because it's pretty or sell it because it'll sell for a lot...
Nothing really to say here. This is where the camera ended up when I exited screenshot mode, and I thought it looked pretty so I took another screenshot.
I put it in Atsushi’s bedroom because his bedroom is a bit bare. It can live with the Enatsu painting.
Gross, Hou-chan.
Okay, well, En is off to work, but Kinshirou and Atsushi can go on a date, at least. They decide on a nice, classy dinner date at a restaurant I built for them. It’s as boringly built as everything else I’ve done before now (I’ve learned how to build cooler things but it came too late for some of the buildings in their save...) which is why I didn’t take a screenshot but it looks okayish on the inside, I suppose.
LMAO... I forgot I gave him that suit... oh my god... he looks so proud. Atsushi is politely keeping his thoughts to himself.
They're shown to the one semi-private table in the establishment. Probably because Kinshirou is from a good family, even if they themselves don’t have much money.
Gosh, they’re cute.
(I am really, really sorry for those little lightbulbs and plus signs and sparkles. They signify that a lot trait is having an effect on a skill that a Sim is building. They’re incredibly annoying in screenshots, but there’s no way to turn them off. It eventually occurred to me to get a mod for it, but only after the end of this post...)
It takes their food some time to arrive, but at least it gets there, which is more than I can say of the last time I tried to go on a restaurant date in TS4. They don’t mind. It gives them lots of time to talk! Something about Kinshirou’s drink puts him in a flirty mood...
En comes home from work while they’re out. He got a promotion, so he’s in that bizarre outfit again. Luckily, I don't have to see it except in his little portrait at the bottom left.
To put the finishing touch on an incredible date, they kiss passionately on the top floor of the restaurant.
Kinshirou makes this face when Atsushi first grabs him, but he gets into it.
Looks like I spoke too soon.
Kinshirou got sick on his date, and now he's itchy. Hm.
Their reward for such a good date! It’s just decor, not actually drinkable. If all goes well, they'll have these littered around the house eventually.
Kinatsuen receive an evening visitor, a friend of Atsushi’s in another save where I recreated demon AU but emphatically not his friend in this one. Fortunately, they're smart! They know not to invite a vampire into the house.
Less fortunately, Kinshirou is outside expanding Atsushi's garden. Maybe, he thinks, if he stays off to the side of the house, his dazzling gold suit won't catch Vlad's eye.
But the medicine has made him energized, and he needs to get all that energy out somehow. Kin-chan, sweetheart, not in your nice suit... although maybe ruining that suit would be for the best.
En and Hou-chan just became friends! She must have been giving him advice on his painting. ...Also I forgot to change him out of his promotion clothes.
Now that the vampire has left, Kinshirou is free to return to his kitten.
She is honestly unbelievably cute.
Atsushi comes home from work, exhausted and reeking from a night behind the bar, only to find that he can't even sleep in his own bed. His boyfriends missed him so much, they went to sleep there themselves.
En's bedroom may be messy, and he may not ever put the condoms and lube away, but it's closer than Kinshirou's.
Must have been a rough night. En still thinks he looks hot, though. Sometimes having a slob for a boyfriend is a plus.
Enatsu and Hou-chan morning domesticity. En is addicted to painting, I swear. Mixologists and bars aren’t as bad as En and his easel.
His second masterpiece is even prettier than his first. They're both impressionist paintings so I suppose Sim En is an impressionist painter. That suits him, I think. Unfortunately, painting a masterpiece means he'll go to work in a confident mood when he'd be better off inspired, but you can't have everything.
Again... Why is it always En who gets in trouble at work...
My headcanon is actually that En wouldn't judge, but, since that's not an option here, he would want to talk about his passion. En is always ready to share his thoughts.
THAT'S RIGHT. Although it's a bit sad because I still think En would defend her, if anything.
Atsushi needs to improve his mixology for work. Instead of making yet another drink for himself or wastefully practicing and then throwing out the results, he makes a pet drink for Hou-chan. :D
The window for Kinshirou to sell his books to a publisher. A screenplay about the magical boys’ revenge will definitely fly off the shelves, I agree.
No story value, just cute.
With Atsushi at work, En and Kinshirou decide to check out a community lot (not as a date). I actually made it for Atsushi, but... he'll get here someday. Basically, one of the expansions introduced all these food stalls and a bunch of recipes (honestly like 20+ in total) that you can learn how to cook only after tasting them. But it's hard to track them all down in the places the game initially put them because they rotate, so I just made a foot stall lot.
Unfortunately you can only have so many stall vendors on a lot at a time, so it'll always look like half of them are closed... But I'm still proud of it? I think it's a cute lot with nice Kinatsuen colors, and it'll help Atsushi to have this one place to go to. I'm proud of all the lots I built for them, actually, even if they’re often not very interesting-looking.
The moment they arrive, Kinshirou goes straight to the Japanese food stall without the least bit of prompting from me. En chooses some spicy Vietnamese food, but by the time he gets to the table, Kinshirou is already halfway done with his dango. I want En to get used to spicy food ASAP because it's out of character for him not to be able to tolerate it. It wasn’t until I started watching them eat that I remembered Sims also have to learn how to use chopsticks... En, I don’t think that’s now they work.
Getting used to spicy food.
En: Kinshirou, help! Help me, it hurts! My mouth is on fire!!
Kinshirou: Ahh, that was so good... such delicate, mild flavors... :’D
En is grumpy because he wants a vacation, even though they literally got back from one like a week ago. I think this is one of my all-time favorite screenshots just because it's the opposite of what would be IC for them.
Luckily, I put some bubble blowers on this lot, so he can relax a little. Don't make that face at me, En. This is for your own good.
...En put in the flirty flavor that makes you angry if you choke, and Kinshirou choked on his very first blow. I guess it's not such a surprise, though. The bubble blowers are basically just game stand-ins for drugs, and Kinshirou would be the absolute worst person to get high with.
Kinshirou: Ow ow ow ow ow! That hurts!
En: Yeah, how's it feel, asshole?
En: Wait, shit, ow!
Kinshirou: You deserve no better for taunting me.
Kinshirou’s face is adorably pinched and angry here. But En is angry now, too, so they go home and go to sleep, after losing some friendship points. That didn’t quite go according to plan. Tomorrow night will be better.
A Hou-chan’s-eye view. Kinshirou was in the middle of eating breakfast, but she was too cute to resist.
En took some pictures of Hou-chan and put them up on Simstagram (lol) and !!! I've never had a pet get so many followers immediately like this. Everyone loves Hou-chan.
I shouldn't have complained about En always getting in trouble. Now it's happening to Atsushi too.
Atsushi is annoyed that his coworker would steal and put him in this position, but he would rather just keep quiet to avoid a confrontation. Maybe someone else will handle it...
Still better than causing a scene.
They're finally out on a date! Making identical pleased expressions. Kinshirou's taken En out to a museum because he's a cutie deep down and he knows En will like it. I didn't build this one orz I meant to make them a museum but I turned it into an arts center instead. En will enjoy that more, but he needs to look at things in a museum right now for his aspiration, so...
Their animations continue to be creepily in sync as they admire the artwork.
It looks for all the world like Kinshirou's just made a dirty joke about the painting they're looking at, but...
...this isn’t the sort of work that would make Kinshirou think naughty thoughts. It would take even En several seconds to make an innuendo out of this.
But then Kinshirou autonomously offers En a public massage... Maybe he's just in a mood.
They spend the rest of the date in that room, mostly on that couch, sitting and talking. So there’s not much to say about it. But it’s awfully cute.
Sadly. they have to go home early, because En has to work the next morning. He would rather just quit his job, but Kinshirou won't let him.
He doesn't want to let on to En, which is why he's walking behind him, but he’s ready for the date to end. He’s exhausted.
The collection grows.
(I know one is more forward on the bar than the other. It's not my fault. I don't understand the rationale behind slot placement in TS4.)
Guys! Guys! stop eating! Pay attention to Hou-chan! She's just a little kitten and she's lonely!
Kinshirou is writing my fanfiction for me so that I don't have to. Although I suppose that means he's writing about an alternate world where he and his boyfriends live in a fantasy setting with some dude named Arima, and this Arima guy gets romantically involved with them all.
(I don't actually intend to have a sequel to Veil named Kidosen. I just wanted him to write a sequel and that's the title that came to mind.)
Their house, the most boring-looking house in the world, but now with two boring stories! I promise, when they move onto a bigger lot, I’ll do better.
The triad decided to spend some of their hard-earned money on a home addition. Their bedrooms are on the second story now and they have a bathroom with an actual bath in it (this was half the purpose of the remodeling; it’s a tragedy for them not to have a bath). Atsushi's kitchen is slightly nicer as well, with a better fridge and some aesthetic improvements. But the household now has exactly §301 to its name. No interior screenshots because the only really new thing is the bathroom and it's not exciting enough to be worth a screenshot. The bedrooms are almost exactly the same and the upstairs landing is completely empty because they ran out of money. The most interesting things here are the sad, neglected plants...
Atsushi, savior of plants (as well as kittens). He still needs to work on his herbalism. He’ll get to that at some point.
This is the problem with the goddamn bar. You tell a Sim to start mixing drinks and suddenly it's all they want to do. As soon as he stops needing to level mixology for his career, that thing is getting sold.
Even Atsushi himself dreams of a day when he can rid himself of the bar. He is trapped.
At least Hou-chan is proud of him. Or maybe she just wants another one of those pet drinks.
Atsushi suffers from a moment of self-doubt. Is he doing the right thing, encouraging Hou-chan to drink? She's only a kitten...
But she looks so happy.
Yeah. He made the right choice.
...no story value, just cute.
She reached 250 Simstagram followers with this very stylish pose. Her charms are irresistible!
But her love is reserved for Kinatsuen, and for this toy. She can’t stand to be parted from it.
LMAO
Not only does Atsushi barely even know his name, but he's also already married?? Nah, dude, if you want to cheat don't drag Atsushi into it.
Atsushi: Eheheh... *nervously ignores phone*
Atsushi doesn't have work for a couple of days, so he has time to relax and chat with Kinshirou while Hou-chan communes with her ball and takes a nap.
Atsushi: (Okay, time to try that pickup line I read...) So, Kin-chan... what underwear are you wearing?
Kinshirou: Atchan. Please, spare us both.
Meanwhile, that lady who makes weird art bothers En at work again, and he comes out on top again. Maybe she should give up. Luckily for her, he should get promoted today.
Atsushi is sick. :C He's trying to meet his death with brave stoicism and honestly judging from how he looks I don't blame him for thinking the worst.
But all he has to do is take some medicine! All better. Time to go find Kinshirou and celebrate his return to good health, if Kinshirou has forgiven him for that pickup line.
Why is he making that face in the middle of WooHoo... Dare I even ask... Kinshirou, I would have thought you'd be more experienced by now...
Then again, Atsushi is completely satisfied afterwards. So maybe he liked it.
I feel like I go on about how cute Atsushi's Sim is but honestly they're all adorable. Also, this screenshot made me realize they just WooHooed with a window wide open looking down onto their street.
Like... he doesn't even go to work in those clothes. I don't get it.
But as you can see he got promoted! He's now an Imaginative Imagist, whatever that means. The painter career doesn't have the most informative job titles.
He honestly doesn't even want to be in the official painter career. He can't wait to get given a super nice easel so he can work from home like Kinshirou, who, by the way, is making the most money by far out of the three of them right now. I suppose that's fitting.
...He and Atsushi wanted to have a date tomorrow, but now that he's been promoted, he has to work. :\ Atsushi's due for a promotion too, so I guess they’ll see in a couple of days what his new schedule is like.
On the other hand, En gets off work an hour earlier now, and Atsushi still doesn't work at all tomorrow, so maybe they can have their date anyway. They were just planning to hang out at home anyway, in true Enatsu fashion.
It was at this point that the My First Pet stuff pack was released, and, well, long story short, they have a hedgehog now. Guess what its name is?
Don't do it, Kinshirou. Don't fall for it again...
orz.
But he goes to find Atsushi afterwards, just so that Atsushi knows he still cherishes his friendship more than he does a hedgehog.
Hou-chan has something to say, loudly enough that Kinshirou is startled.
Kinshirou: What's wrong, Hou-chan? What is it? Hm?
Hou-chan: *sad meowing ;-;*
She needs attention, it turns out. Kinshirou is happy to oblige her whenever she wants. Unfortunately, En is lost in his art and barely even noticed her meowing.
Atsushi has made his first foray into gourmet cooking! He's pleased with the results, but he wishes his boyfriends were here to enjoy it with him.
Better late than never. Look how happy he is! It's like in episode 11 when he's feeding the defense club his curry.
I didn't quite manage to get a screenshot of Lilith at the door, but why do vampires keep knocking on the front door after dark?? It's scary. Maybe the boys just smell delicious or something? At least there hasn't been a vampire break-in, I suppose.
Hou-chan is suspicious of Zundar...
...and WISELY SO what the fuck??? What did they do to Zundar? What does this mean???? I have literally no idea. It popped up just as I left the home lot, so if he did something to trigger it, I'll never know...
While En is at work (orz), Atsushi is taking a trip to the newly-opened Arima Community Garden. They need some people to help do some preliminary work like planting before anything can be harvested.
(This is my way of explaining away gameplay limitations in terms of storyline. I made this lot so that Atsushi didn't have to run around the world finding things to plant, and also so that I had a place to put my modded insect spawners. You need insects for herbalism, but I didn't want to fill their home lot with bugs. But you have to have your Sims plant things on community lots, even if you put the seeds there with a cheat.)
While Atsushi works on the garden, Kinshirou learns chess from a very red individual named Kengo Fujita who's a member of what is essentially a chess club. Maybe they'll become friends! Atsushi wants to hold a dinner party soon to show off his cooking, so the three of them need friends, or at least people who'll accept an invitation.
Atsushi is working hard, but it’s a big task.
Eventually, Kinshirou resigns himself to getting dirt stains on his clothes and steps in to help.
Gardening boyfriends! Kinshirou looks like he's ready to stab himself with that spade. The light has changed and the shadows are longer. They’ve been here for a while. En is home by now, hopefully having a nice nap.
It’s late by the time they’re done. For dinner, they have hamburgers from a plate some stranger left on the table. That’s not what I would do myself, in their place, but they both survive it.
A solid day’s work! But it’s past midnight now and they just want to go home. Don’t judge me for the terrain paint, I did my best.
En is a sweetheart and waited up for them. In the background, Hou-chan remains vigilant.
That painting right there is a masterpiece worth almost two thousand Simoleons. En has an amazing talent.
These are, hands down, the best screenshots in the post.
At work, Atsushi once again refused to report that the cash in the register was low, and it once again got taken out of everyone's tips. Whoever did it the first time must have learned that they could get away with it.
Wtf he's back
They know they're being hunted.
Kinshirou: Perhaps he'll go away if we pretend that we didn't hear the bell. If he has no hope of getting inside... we need to act as though we think we're alone.
En: Sure. But how do we do that?
En: Oh, I get it... I like the way you think.
Vladislaus: *watching through the door* They're completely oblivious to my presence. Amazing.
En: We might as well make it convincing, right? Right?
Kinshirou: Is this something that interests you, then? Being watched?
En: What if it is?
Vladislaus: I can't believe they haven't noticed me. Their front door even has windows.
En: What are you into, then? Boyfriends should talk about stuff like this, right?
Kinshirou: Oh, well... there are a few things, I suppose...
Vladislaus: This is absurd.
En: Mm. Actually, why don't you tell me later?
Kinshirou: Wh— oh...
Vladislaus: *peers through the door, trying to get a better view*
Vlad is a pervert. Wow. I never knew. No wonder he and demon AU Atsushi are friends.
It worked!
Kinshirou: Oh, thank goodness. Maybe we should invest in some garlic braids.
En: We can talk about it later.
This is such a sweet screenshot. Kinshirou can already tell that En is planning some sort of mischief, but he's so relieved that the vampire left before Atsushi got back that he's just amused and indulgent.
Oh, no... with all the vampire scariness and relieved WooHoo, they forgot to refill Hou-chan's food bowl...
(Don’t worry, Kinshirou came downstairs and did it. I just forgot to take a screenshot.)
Atsushi is a line cook now! Look at his fancy clothes! He must wear contacts at work. (That's my excuse for why he doesn't have glasses in his work outfits, and I'm sticking to it...)
His work days haven't changed, although he starts and leaves work four hours earlier now, so he won't be getting home at 2am anymore. He and En won't have a day off in common for a few more days, assuming En doesn't get promoted again in the meantime and get another schedule change. But they'll get their date. They’re determined, and so am I. If all else fails, Atsushi can take a vacation day and En can call in fake sick, and they can hang out with Kinshirou all disapproving in the background.
With the day's salary and his promotion bonus, they're able to expand their house again!
A boring deck to go with their boring house.This is the real reason for making a second story. More than the bath, I wanted to have room for a deck so that they could have a hot tub. :D They now have a grand total of §10 so it's a good thing they have lots of leftover food.
When will they move into a new, less ugly house? When will En get to quit his job? Will En and Atsushi ever get to go on a date? Will there ever come a day when I don’t end one of these posts with a question about En and Atsushi? What in God’s name did that notification about Zundar mean? I don’t know the answer to any of these questions, but we can find out together next time.

Another Boueibu OVA Dream
A girl (gasp!) with brown hair in ponytail was being asked if she and EnKinAtsu were really all dating, or just friends.
“Well…”
(I remember the friend who asked, who looked like Kae from Kiss Him Not Me, saying, “Ah, I get it, you’re all just really close buddies!”)
Cut to EnKinAtsu in gym class playing a weird version of baseball. All three are on one base until En runs to next base, only a few feet away.
Atsushi keeps trying to catch/hit the ball, resulting in Kinshirou getting hit in the face repetitively.
Kinshirou dips Atsushi and kisses him? I don’t know, the angle was weird, hair was covering their faces, so he might’ve just been nuzzling him…
Everyone gasps, and there’s a closeup of En looking annoyed.
Cut to a weird throne room.
Argent is sitting on the throne, legs crossed, looking into a small round mirror showing the previous scene.
He said something along the lines of “Could they be Battle Lovers?”
Perlite stands beside him, and is handed the mirror before making it disappear, saying something about Kinshirou slacking off?
Aurite manifests in front of Argent, doing that little bow thing from S1E6.
And that’s all I remember!
So, it was a weird EnKinAtsu S1 AU OVA (or a Memory Loss OVA), where they show girls and Ibushi was maybe the leader of Caerula Adamas instead of Kinshirou? And to top it off with more Drama™, Kinshirou doesn’t know he’s fraternizing with the enemy?
Sign me up.

Have idea for a boueibu love fic (OK, I have a title and a vague concept)
But can’t decide the ship
IoRyuu won’t work for this idea, Akorima might work but y’all probably sick of all my akorima fics and...I dunno, it doesn’t seem like them either. Ditto EnAtsu (because they’re blatantly married).
So. I dunno. Maybe KinAtsu?
Or EnKin...
Hm.
I could actually make the chapters short for once. Hahahahahahahaaaaaa
I forgot IbuKin is a ship but that won’t work either, Ibushi is too loyal to Kinchan.
#kakera rambles#i probably won't actually write this fic because i suck#but playing with the idea and i'd like to write it if i have the mental energy#(and the feedback cos apparently i'm hungry for validation these days)#boueibu#that magical boy anime#kakera doesn't write stuff just complains about writing stuff#seriously though i'm torn between kinatsu and enkin#and i don't want to write this as an ot3 even though i'm down with enkinatsu

Is... is someone really reverting back to the 'canon means only possible ship' thing?... Plus staff really ships enatsu too, just saying...
I don’t think they are, and don’t mind either... Perhaps the ask wasn’t worded that well, but.. (shrugs)
You’re definitely right about staff really shipping enatsu. (points at the sea of posters and gazes longingly at the handful of ioryuu posters)
Anyway, there’s no need to ship the ‘canon ships’. Shipping is something to do for fun, and there’s no rules what so ever. As long as a ship makes you happy. Besides there are no canon ships in boueibu anyway. Some are just closer to being treated as canon.
To each their tastes. If you like kinatsu that’s fine. Same goes for enatsu, enkin, or enkinatsu. As long as you have fun with shipping it, and don’t bother anyone about it.

The character ask thing: Boueibu A's aka Akihiko, Akoya and Atsushi (if that's too many you can just pick who you want)
WI already answered Aki, so here I’ll do the other two A’s!
Akoya
NOTP: I don’t really have NOTPs like at all so this question is always really hard, but I guess I’m pretty ‘meh’ about Akoya with Kinshiro. Like, could I see it working? Maybe. Do I think they’d actually be attracted to each other in the first place? Probably not...
BROTP: Everyone Brotps Akoya with Ryuu and I agree with the sentiment. Pinks gotta have their silly rivalry. Could definitely also see Akoya being besties with Aki and/or Haru, once the third years graduate.
OTP: Here I go again with my OT3s but AkoIoRyuu is my jam. But I suppose I’ll talk more about the OT3 in the poly question. If I had to pick ONE, I do really like AkoRyuu because the angst dynamics have a lot of potential and they just seem like they’d be really... explosive. Passionate. Ooh la la. That’d leave poor Io alone though so it kind of makes me sad lol.
Second Choice Pairing: AkoRima, considering that seems to be everyone’s OTP with Akoya. I like the dynamic well enough; it seems like Ibushi would pay a shitload of attention to Akoya and Akoya would eat up every second of it but idk I feel bad saying this but Ibushi as a character still doesn’t really stick out to me :/ So like... I’m pretty blase about all the ships including him.
Fluffy Pairing: Yumotoooooo because smol fluff child. Despite pretty exclusively shipping Yumoto with a/both Beppus this would be the only ship involving Akoya that I could see being tooth-rottingly cute. Akoya screams sophistication and like old-school romance or fiery passion and Yumoto would be the only one who could probably bring out his softer, cutesy side. Let Yumoto brush and play with his hair? Yas. Snuggle pajama party? Yas.
Angsty Pairing: The aforementioned AkoRyuu. Because holy smokes I feel like I am alone in pinkship land but like two words; hate fucking. I have a fanfic premise for them built around an enemies to frenemies to frenemies with benefits to friends with benefits to boyfriends and it just sounds so delicious. Imagine the snark, the sass, the spontaneous makeout sessions. Y’know these boys would be passionate and put in 110% to whichever emotion they were processing. Which likely would be a combination of annoyance and lust. Damn I need to write this thing. Along with my twelve other fic ideas -cries-
Polyship: AkoIoRyuuuuuuu and now I get to talk about it. Like okay. Take the fiery spark that is Akoya and Ryuu together and add in the mutual pining for Io (the other element to the pinkship) and then lo and behold Io is a willing participant...? Io would balance the pinks out, bringing a level head to their sometimes rash behaviors yet spoiling them silly when he’s feeling particularly mushy. The pinks would probably have their strengths and weaknesses in meeting Io’s needs- like Akoya knows about the finer things and would definitely look good on his arm at any fancy business events whereas Ryuu would be the more lowkey one and their strong friendship would form a foundation for Io’s emotional support. Idk they have such potential for their dynamics and again, there need to be more fics with them. And by that I mean fics that aren’t AUs (because I swear it seems like half the boueibu fics are AUs and... I’ll shut up before I start ranting).
Weirdest Pairing: Um, Akoya/En? Akoya/Atsushi? I can’t see either of those really happening but then again in weird ways they may work. Unfortunately I can’t put words to it, though.
Atsushi
NOTP: Atsushi/Yumoto? Idk I see more brother/senpai/parental dynamics from these two and I just... cannot see it romantically at all. Hm, maybe I do have some NOTPs. But does anyone ship this anyway? Lol.
BROTP: The obvious En/Kinshiro when they aren’t shipped romantically. Atsushi has his best friends and they’re all so precious. Also weirdly if the boys started hanging out at Yumoto’s house more instead of in the onsen I could see Atsushi getting along well with Gora. They seem to have a similar personality.
OTP: Enatsu all the wayyyyyyy. If we’re picking a non-poly ship, that is. Like isn’t that everyone’s OTP with him? Maybe? Best friends blossoming into boyfriends is my shit. It’s adorable. Atsushi takes care of En in all the best ways and En helps Atsushi lighten up a little.
Second Choice: I ship Enatsu more than Kinatsu so I guess Kinatsu is the second choice here. Still cute dynamics but with a more unrequited love becomes requited vibe on Kinshiro’s end. It does feel weird to me though to have these two as a standalone ship because then... where does that leave En??? And in my boueibu-verse everyone gets paired off and is happy but I just cannot decide which pairings I like best lol (someone save meeeee)
Fluffy Pairing: Kinatsu has more potential for just sheer fluff like I can’t. Kinshiro being the delicate thing that he is needing reassurance and attention and Atsushi, having learned his lesson with the curry thing, won’t let anything fester or settle and they talk things out and cuddle and go on cute dates and aldsfjasldkfjal;sdkj -explodes- okay maybe they’re cuter than I thought they were.
Angsty Pairing: ...actually, literally the same answer, but twist Kinshiro’s response to a jealousy angle over En and you have the makings of some drama right there. Or the OT3 could have Atsushi be caught in the middle for even more potential angst.
Polyship: Enatsukin? Kinenatsu? Enkinatsu? What is this ship name even? BUT YES THAT ONE. I ship this OT3 even more than the other polyships I like and that’s saying something. Because this way, none of these three are left alone and both En and Kinshiro get Atsushi’s caretaking and empathetic nature and Atsushi gets the strong friendship foundations he has with both of them and they all have this mutual trust going on once En and Kinshiro come around to the idea and deal with their feelings for one another as well as for Atsushi.
Weirdest Pairing: I can’t quite wrap my brain around Atsushi/Arima but then again it kinda works to put the two ‘mom’ characters together. And the two sass masters. Like, it fits but it’s weird to me.

Fic ask: 10, 12, 21, 44?
10, 21, 44 were already answered!
12. Who is your current OT3?
AkoIoRyuu - in whatever order you prefer (though I have a thing for putting Io last and Ryuu first).
I also like EnKinAtsu and SC OT3, but AkoIoRyuu is the only one I ship actively.

It's a warm summer evening and the sun has almost set. I'm lying in a hammock, sipping a glass of rosé pinot noir. On my phone is AO3 open on a +50 chapter enkinatsu fic. Life is good.

Part 3 / ?, wherein they go camping, much to Kinshirou’s dismay.
This is a long, image-heavy post. I’ve had it ready since like December but I never bothered to post it until now because I stopped playing the game for a while and I’m lazy. If you’re reading this on my blog and it’s done the obnoxious thing where it doesn’t show readmores, just click the date <3
You probably don’t remember where we left off because it’s been ages since the last post. I didn’t remember either. En had just gotten his second promotion in a few days; the game continued to insist on sending him home from work in an awkward outfit on promotion days. Kinshirou had just published his etiquette manual, and I had finally learned how to keep Atsushi from being miserable when he got home from work. However, En and Atsushi’s work schedules still kept them from spending much time together as a group.
En’s latest work of art is a beautiful, subtle masterpiece. I know that because I, an ignorant philistine, see the art of a 6-year-old, but an art gallery was interested enough to pay $50 more than he usually gets for large paintings.
This is kind of sweet, but he and En aren’t even engaged yet. Calm down, Kinshirou. It’s amazing how well the game knows them asd;lfk
Atsushi has been promoted to caterer!! A $10/hour raise so that his hourly wage is no longer a pittance, a $368 bonus, and a coffeepot. His work hours start an hour earlier and end two hours earlier, which still isn’t very good :\ but look, he’s so proud of himself.
To get to the next level of his career, he has to start learning to mix drinks. I’ve dreaded this moment because the last time I bought someone a bar to level mixology, they never wanted to do anything else again except mix drinks. I took it away in the end.
Kinshirou wakes up, sees that En’s gone, and goes to find him in the bathroom just so that he can kiss his cheek.
Since he’s awake now anyway, En paints an Enatsu painting and then a Kinatsuen painting, one after another. I can’t bring myself to sell either of them. The Kinatsuen one is going to stay where it is, but I’m putting the Enatsu one in Atsushi’s room, because it’s kind of bare at the moment.
En’s suave kiss is different than Kinshirou’s was. I assume it’s because he and Atsushi aren’t boyfriends yet? But Atsushi still seems charmed.
And now that they’ve drawn my attention to that oversight, Atsushi asks En to be his boyfriend.
You can imagine your own dialogue here. You’re all so dirty-minded.
En is into it, though.
He immediately kisses Atsushi on the cheek. I’m glad all the Sims think that’s as cute as I do.
Now they can all go on a much-deserved(???) vacation :D En and Atsushi have to take some vacation days to do it, but they want to spend some time together as a triad.
They’re going camping! For four days. It’s cheap, and they’re still a little broke. En and Atsushi are nervous, but willing to give it a try. Kinshirou...
..yeah.
Their home away from home. There are cabins and houses you can rent, but... like I said. They’re broke.
Kinshirou decides to start his vacation by practicing horseshoes. If this is all they have for entertainment, he’s going to master it.
But En doesn’t like that attitude.
En: Come on, cheer up, it’ll be fun.
Kinshirou: Hmm... Maybe so, then.
Kinshirou: ...but I’ll still win at this game. Move.
As you can see behind them, Atsushi has been setting up their tents.
He’s also the only one to introduce himself to the park ranger. In other words, he continues to be the only useful Sim.
En is a miracle worker wtf
Once Atsushi’s done the boring stuff, he can join his boyfriends and spend his time being cute and flirty, as was the point of this vacation.
Kinshirou lights the fire for no reason. You’d think after part two, he’d have seen enough fire.
En... get up. What if Atsushi drops that horseshoe?
He does get up, finally. He has important painting to do.
Yes, I did add the easel to the lot before I brought them here. This vacation is costing $3 more per night than it otherwise would have.
So much excitement for a mediocre toss. And Atsushi can’t pretend to be impressed because he’s besieged by bugs.
Maybe En is trying to develop a style reminiscent of a young child’s?
Meanwhile, Kinshirou is still struggling with horseshoes.
So it’s easy, but you’re still bad at it? Got it.
Atsushi reassures him until he’s not embarrassed anymore...
...so now snobbish boredom is his dominant emotion. Look at that face. Why does anyone tolerate him?
If you’re wondering where En went, he’s taking a shower in here.
Atsushi’s first attempt at grilling!
En is drawn back by the promise of Atsushi’s excellent-quality(!!) baked potatoes. They’re sparkling! Atsushi’s so happy :D
Happy boyfriends, although Atsushi is again plagued by bugs.
Help him
Kinshirou wanders off in the middle of a conversation and goes to sleep. En is glad to have an excuse to do to the same.
Atsushi goes to the bathroom, but doesn’t return. When I check on him, I find him like this:
He’s stargazing. <3 But that’s not the spot I would have chosen, myself.
The next morning, Atsushi happily makes breakfast. He seems to be moving past any fire-related trauma from his near-death experience in part two.
Kinshirou also goes to the bathroom and doesn’t return. When I find him, not only is he making unnecessary food, he’s making exactly the same thing as Atsushi, except
wth a lot less skill behind it.
He burns himself. :c Just go eat breakfast with the others, Kinshirou.
Kinshirou: En, isn’t Atchan wonderful? He makes the best food, and he’s always so kind...
En: Yeah, you’re right. Atsushi’s great.
Atsushi looks so embarrassed... Change the subject, guys.
They’ve ventured out to the national park! They’re learning how to fish in case Atsushi ever wants to use fish in a meal.
They keep gaining friendship with each other and with this girl, even though none of them have said a word. Maybe words aren’t necessary when you’re fishing buddies.
Kinshirou catches two fish before either of the others catch anything. So when Atsushi catches one...
...he’s super excited.
Finally, to En’s incredulous annoyance, it becomes clear that he won’t catch anything in that spot.
Poor En-chan.
...poor En-chan.
There, back to normal.
Before they give up altogether on En learning to fish, they’ll try this one other spot. I just really want En to learn how to fish a;lskjf ...but the fish are too crafty for him here, too.
This is the face of a man who no longer cares.
Catching the fish made Atsushi confident, so he decides that En will be real impressed if he shows off his muscles. ...It’s sweet of En to humor him.
I see you back there, bear man. Fuck off.
I said fuck off.
If the last screenshot had you wondering, Kinshirou is telling an unbelievable story.
God damn it they’re all tense now
Kinshirou mocks the bear costume because I’m annoyed he’s annoyed about the situation. Then the three of them leave, so that they aren’t tense anymore.
Atsushi cooks his fish while En entertains them all with an adventure story :D
He follows up with a ghost story. Atsushi hangs on his every word.
Kinshirou chooses to find it amusing.
................ I forgot that ghost stories summon ghosts.
Oops.
He doesn’t stay long, though. The ghost that haunts the picnic table...
What has En done?!
En: Holy shit, my bad.
Kinshirou: Well done, En. Good job.
Atsushi, in the background, is preoccupied. He’s exposing himself to the source of his fears in order to lessen the fear. No ghosts will get in the way of his exposure therapy.
They go back to their campsite, where the ghost is not. Kinshirou hopes that if he goes to sleep, he’ll be less freaked out about the ghost in the morning. En has other ideas for how to dispel his tension. Atsushi never even noticed the ghost to begin with, but he’s happy to go along with En.
...at which point I remember that this is the first Enatsu WooHoo! Congrats, guys. They get a happy moodlet from good WooHoo, as well, like En and Kinshirou did that once (except theirs was from “spectacular” WooHoo but ok whatever).
Kinshirou and Atsushi have never had a WooHoo so good they got a happy moodlet. I guess En is just really good at WooHoo.
Morning activities c:
Atsushi made this meal twice and it was poor quality both times. Fish tacos 2.0. At least he’s not so heartbroken about it this time.
This screenshot has no narrative value. I just thought it was cute.
The food was so bad it made them all feel sick... Oh, well. Atsushi is still learning.
En... I know you’re a slob, but there are limits...
“From the moist depths of the trash, En has recovered: 1 baconite.” Congratulations, En. Was it worth it.
It wouldn’t be a Kinatsuen Sims post without a screenshot of Atsushi looking distressed. This is why I put you in your tent to relax, Atsushi!! Just rest for a little while, you’ll feel better soon.
He takes it out on the bugs instead. I guess that works too.
This is the moodlet Kinshirou got after he and Atsushi WooHooed:
But this is Atsushi’s:
Kinshirou, you worry too much. Atsushi liked it, see? It looks like I spoke too soon about no happy moodlets from Kinatsu WooHoo, although it’d have been nice if they’d both gotten it.
But Kinshirou must not be too mortified, because he accepts Atsushi’s offer to be BFFs.
...and only afterwards did I realize that you can’t have multiple BFFs, and there’s no mod to make it possible. I guess it doesn’t matter too much, but poor En.
This is the only couple that hasn’t WooHooed in a tent yet. They should have a turn.
...but really that’s only an excuse to get them doing something else so that Atsushi can wander off and harvest wild things guilt-free. I want him to learn herbalism.
He identifies things by eating them, which makes me nervous. But the WooHoo back there seems to be going well.
lol.
Kinshirou now has two concurrent WooHoo moodlets. I’m proud of him.
Desperate for culture and civilization, he decides to view this big statue. But the bugs have other plans.
Dont look so resigned, En. Maybe it’ll go better this time.
(It did go better! He caught a fish. But I was following Kinshirou around in his herbalism journey and missed it.)
This again... If they can’t learn that every time you poke a fire with a stick, the stick catches fire, maybe they should just stay away from fire.
Because En is a lazy Sim, he doesn't jog when he has to go long distances like the other two do. As a result, it takes him a million years to go places. They all started to head back to the campsite at the same time, but Atsushi has already cooked and eaten dinner, and Kinshirou has burned a stick as well, by the time En deigns to show up.
After dinner, Atsushi asks Kinshirou to go stargazing. <3
There aren’t many screenshots for the next day because they don’t do much of anything interesting. That’s largely because they sleep very late.
Kinshirou, pls
This is not the time to hit on Atsushi. Atsushi is fighting the eternal battle against the bugs.
Or so I would have said, but whatever En does here, he manages to get Atsushi’s attention.
...then he turns and starts talking to Kinshirou asldjkf
Atsushi: Hey... En-chan... I’m still up for... you know... you didn’t forget already, did you?
They all keep rolling whims to get married to each other but hey don’t have enough money or friends for a nice wedding yet asdl;jfk and they would be sad in the end if they had the quick, boring type of Sim wedding. They’ll have to daydream quietly about it for a little while longer.
En ends the trip with another story. Not a ghost story this time, though. He learned his lesson. This is a fairytale. Soon afterwards, when he and Kinshirou are stargazing, Kinshirou gets homesick :C Poor baby, he’s not meant for camping.
The next day, without fanfare or screenshots, they head home. I think their vacation was good for them, but Atsushi has no vacation days left, so lets hope he doesn't set himself on fire again before he earns another one.
Will they ever get to see the community lots built and chosen especially for them? Will they get a cat? Will I, in fact, pick up The Sims again at all? When in the world will En and Atsushi have compatible work schedules so that they don’t have to run away into the wilderness to be together? Only time will tell.
Epilogue:
The lion is En’s idea of a painting that inspires confidence.

Title: Spindle
Fandom: Boueibu
Pairings: Kinatsuen, Ioryuu, Ioakoryuu gen
Rating: M
Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, major character death
[ Puella Magi Madoka Magica AU ]
There’s nothing all that special about Kinshirou and Atsushi. They’re privileged boys from good families, well-mannered and clever, but there are plenty of teenagers like that in Japan. Still, they’re happy together, and happy with their lives, and there’s no reason to think anything might change for them.
Certainly there’s no reason to imagine that Yufuin, the lazy boy in the back row of their class, has ever been anything more to them than a classmate, someone to chat with or lecture about uniform standards. But even if they don’t remember him, En will protect them, no matter what it takes.

KINATSUEN 46!!!!!!
HI LIBBY. ILY. THIS ISN’T EDITED SO I’M SRY IF IT’S NO GOOD

A predicament. En was in a predicament.
How was it possible for something like curry to elicit such strong, mixed feelings from him? On one hand, every batch of curry Atsushi made for him was better than the last; a mere bite would land En right on cloud nine, a blissful grin reflecting the satisfaction he felt inwardly settling on his lips. On the other hand–
Well, to be frank, this curry in particular wasn’t made for him.
Atsushi’s Specialty Sweet Curry, certified Kusatsu Kinshirou-proof™. It didn’t have a hint of spice– it was very mild, by his and Atsushi’s standards. This is what currently sat before him on the tabletop, plated beautifully, but left nearly untouched. It was a depressing sight, En thought; obviously, curry should be eaten piping hot, and savored as the all-time superior comfort food, rightfully so; but today, he couldn’t bring himself to do anything more than pick at it with his spoon.
It wasn’t like it tasted bad. Atsushi never made bad curry– something like that was impossible. It was just…
“Atchan, that was absolutely delicious.” En eyed Kusatsu’s plate with envy: how did he finish so quickly? (Oh, right, because this was the president’s curry, not his.) “Are there seconds?”
“Ah, of course, Kin-chan!” And Atsushi sounded so pleased with himself… sigh. Really, En didn’t know why he was acting this way. He should be happy for them; happy for his best friend– no, he supposed he was happy, so scratch that. It was more like…
Why was he there in the first place if he was obviously gonna third wheel?
“Here– seconds. There’s still a lot left over, so let me know if that isn’t enough. I honestly expected it to be gone by now, with how much En-chan normally eats…” Ah, not good. Atsushi was gonna notice En’s plate, in 3, 2, 1– “Wha– En-chan, you haven’t eaten any of it!”
“Hey, I’ve eaten some.” To prove his point, En defiantly stuffed in a mouthful of curry. Mmm, it really was tasty… but yeah, as he thought, there was definitely something off in the flavoring. Another inward sigh. “Shee? It’sh good.”
“You are disrespecting Atchan’s curry by talking with your mouth full, Yufuin!”
“Kin-chan, it’s okay…”
En swallowed his food, and shot Kusatsu a look. “With all due respect, Kaichou-san, I don’t think you know anything about curry.”
“What was that–?!”
“En-chan, please don’t antagonize him–”
“Sweet curry is completely different from the real thing. There are three conditions to construct the ultimate curry, okay? 1, the roux should be creamy, with a good consistency–”
“– Atchan’s curry is perfectly consistent! There’s no grainy texture present whatsoever–!”
“– 2, the vegetables shouldn’t be under-cooked, especially the potatoes ‘cause they’re the hardest to get right, but they should also have a bit of a bite to them–”
“– Atchan doesn’t overcook or under-cook his vegetables! And his breaded chicken is crispy, not greasy in the slightest–”
“– And 3: the flavor! Spices shouldn’t fight each other for dominance, but work together in a melodious harmony! With the level of spiciness acting as the orchestra’s conductor!!”
Something must have clicked in Atsushi’s mind, En thought, because it was like a light bulb lit above his head with the expression he was making. With the snap of a finger, and his brows knit as if he were lost in thought, Atsushi interjected with: “That’s what it was! The spice! Hang on, I’ll be right back!!”
En and Kusatsu briefly stared at the spot where Atsushi had been standing just a moment ago, before turning back to their debate.
“… Atchan’s curry doesn’t need to burn one’s tongue for the spices to work together in harmony as you say, Yufuin. Atchan is the conductor!”
“Hey, if you like his curry so much, why don’t you marry it?” En’s gaze was cool, matching the tone of his voice and his sass right on the dot. “He only makes sweet curry for you, you know? Marriage is totally an option.”
“W-what–?!”
“… Sorry, I’m back!! En-chan, wait and try this really quick. Tell me what you think.” Atsushi was completely oblivious to the fact Kusatsu couldn’t look anyone in the eye right now, and En would be savoring his victory if not for the fresh plate of curry set before him.
He blinked. Wait a sec, this guy hadn’t went and made a new batch for him specifically, had he? Wasn’t that a waste–? And he wouldn’t have been able to finish it so quickly, right? En had been in the kitchen earlier; he knew there was only one pot.
With only one option left– to try it, that was– he scooped up some chicken cutlet and curry roux together on one spoonful, and popped it into his mouth.
“……………” This was… this was…..
“It’s good, isn’t it?” En nodded his head quickly in agreement, not yet able to find the words to describe the flavor profile he was experiencing. This was……..
Kusatsu had partially recovered by this point, and was watching him with what En translated as mirth and conceit– Atsushi was watching him with a proud and hopeful gaze. This was…………
The same curry. It was sweet on his tongue, the chicken melted in his mouth– surely, it was delicious, but it was the same. Except. Atsushi had mixed a mysterious addition into the roux, transforming it, shaping the flavor profile into something more suited to their taste…
It was spicy. Sweet, and spicy; neither overpowered the other– rather, they complemented each other. This was…
Well, En knew what his answer would be before he could finish processing the genius of the dish presented to him.
“Atsushi, could I marry your curry? Can something like courtship between a man and his food be legally binding?”
