Mun Things and Fandom Notes

about the mun. fill this out & tag a few people you’d like to get to know better !

tagged by the lovely @vetlanwrites tysm tagging some people I haven’t tagged before: @amalgammuses, @animus-inspire, @kychchc, @rotinthedark, @warofthebeasts & YOU!

name: my name is [ loud music interrupts ] nickname: you can call me Kat or KF! preferred pronouns: she/her age range: 30+ favorite animal: cats pets: cat and a dog tattoos/piercings: I had my ears pierced several times and they won’t stay pierced so I gave up on anything -shrug- star sign: virgo! I’m an August bby how long have you been in this fandom?: doing just the ones I currently have muses for, and not the ones I’ve only talked about -

Dragonball(Z) - I’ve been writing in DBZ since... oh geez, the late 90′s? I think the first fic I ever posted was DBZ and it was around that time. I didn’t start rping it until like, early 00′s though.

Final Fantasy - I actually dabbled in 9 a little bit around the time it came out in ‘00 (my friend had it!) but I wouldn’t say I really did much until I really got into 7, and that was around... geez, ‘05? I rped it a little with a friend around then but I didn’t really start writing it much until nearly ‘10. #latetotheparty Yet I do consider it my “home” fandom - I always come back to it.

Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons - early ‘00s! My first HM/SoS game was Friends of Mineral Town on my trusty GBA and I love it so much to this day. SO excited for the remake!

Legend of Zelda - I really, really loved Ocarina of Time from the get-go when I got it on the N64 in ‘98 (I got it again for the GameCube and the 3DS and would totally buy it for the Switch, just sayin.) Majora’s Mask creeped me out a bit and was stressful but I liked it, too. And then of course later titles like Twilight Princess were just... -chef’s kiss- but I didn’t really dig into the fandom until ‘10-’11 when I started rping Link with a friend and briefly tried joining a forum rp group (shoutout to ZRPG!) with an OC

Marvel Cinematic Universe - I want to say around ‘12, when Avengers came out? Like, I’d seen Iron Man but I didn’t really dig into it until then.

Pokémon - late 90′s / early 00′s because I first started my Pkmn journey playing Gold and Crystal. While I didn’t write fanfic or rp it, I definitely had headcanons and a lot of feels.

Sailor Moon - early 90′s! I first watched the anime as it came out, though I’ve since forgotten most of that and only have the manga/crystal in my head to run interpretations off of. It was so pretty tho.

Stardew Valley - a newer fandom for me, I really only started getting “into” it about a year ago, but man... I love it, I really do

Star Wars - despite early access to the OT as a kidlet, I didn’t actually get “into” Star Wars until the Prequels in ‘99 (fite me) when I fell in love with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and promptly, voraciously, dove into fixit and timetravel fanfic. By the time KOTOR came out in ‘03 I was hooked.

Threads of Fate - I think I got into this one on the ground floor, so to speak. My friend had just gotten it and I borrowed it from her and my brother’s PS1 in ‘00 and that was it, I was in love.

why did you choose this specific character/s?: under a cut bc I have like... nearly 30 muses now

I’m doing alphabetical order (by fandom / first name) bc it’s just easier to go down my list:

tl;dr I picked them all because I love them. Read on to find out why. Click their names to read their bios!

Dragonball Z

Vegeta - oh man, actually one of the first characters I ever rp’d or wrote in fic, and that’s saying something. I picked him because I love him. He’s an absolute ass, but he grows so much throughout Z. (I have yet to see Super, hoping to one day remedy that but we’ll see!) I guess I picked him up for nostalgia’s sake? I really love the character and think there’s a lot of growth yet to see buried under that pride and ego. If you can unearth it.

Final Fantasy

Angeal Hewley (FF7) - actually my first muse on Tumblr, back in... oh, 2013? The blog has been deleted, but he was the first muse I ever played seriously out of FF7. There’s parts of Angeal that really resonate with me, enough that - when I was a less experienced writer - I got tangled up in him a bit too much, made him a bit too personal, and I realized I had to take a step back from writing him. But I love Angeal, and after some time had passed, having written him in various fics, I’ve felt confident adding him... even if I haven’t done anything with him here yet.

Cait Sith (FF7) - I know a lot of people see Cait Sith as all sorts of negative things, but frankly I adore the little guy. And I guess I took him on partially because I couldn’t take Reeve on and not take Cait on, but partially because I see so much in him that could be interesting to explore and would really, really love to. (Any Reeve’s or AVALANCHE - or Turks! - come at me!)

Chaos (FF7) - I picked Chaos up on a whim, as far as Tumblr goes. I really enjoy rping him/Vincent off Tumblr and writing him in fics, and I suppose I just wanted to present a different side of him than I usually see. I’ve even had a thread that has a great deal of promise so I think it was worth it.

Genesis Rhapsodos (FF7) - my third FF7 blog, I think? It’s still up, though obviously not in use, just because I’d put so much work into it. I really adore Genesis, and love writing him. I love his sass and flare, but I love that he’s deeper than all the fire and flamboyance, if you’re willing to look past that. I’m lucky that I’ve had some lovely partners to explore him with, though I’d still kill for an Angeal to throw him at. XD Or a Sephiroth, for that matter.

Lazard Deusericus (FF7) - Lazard, my second FF7 blog and an unexpected love. I picked him up because I had recently started writing him in earnest with an off-Tumblr rp partner ( @thegeeksqueaks ) and was really enjoying him, and hadn’t seen him on Tumblr yet so thought I might get more partners that way. (It turned out there were a couple but they were inactive.) His first blog was accidentally deleted - over five years worth of character development and relationships - so after briefly working him up again solo I brought him over here. He’s not getting the same level of attention but it’s worth it not to be juggling blogs.

Reeve Tuesti (FF7) - pre-Remake, most of the Reeve rpers had gone inactive (shoutout to the fabulous @engineering-robotics and @animus-inspire for coming back!) and just... I love the character too much not to see him in the RPC. Of course, I love to write him period myself so I’d love more threads there but regardless he’s so much fun.

Tristan Pierce (FF7 OC) - Triiiiiiiiiis. Tristan was actually born as an NPC off of Lazard’s blog, who took a life on his own because he was just... so full of life. He actually had his own blog, too! I’ve barely done anything with him here, but I still keep him just because he gives me feels and he’s just neat. (He does still appear in the background of Lazard’s threads though.)

Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons

Iris (SoS) - I actually picked up Iris as a muse first for a fantastic HM/SoS/SDV/etc rp group I’m in a couple years ago, and liked playing her so much I thought I’d bring her here. Elegant lady novelist? Yes please.

Neil (ANB) - unlike Iris and Trent, I haven’t written Neil anywhere else, but he’s my love from A New Beginning and just... he seems like he’d be fun to write? I’d love to flesh him out.

Doctor/Trent (FoMT/MFoMT; DS/CUTE) - Trent, like Iris, is one I write for the rp group and I legit picked him up because of the opportunity for h/c I am not sorry. But seriously though, he’s grown on me so much and I love my awkward doctor.

Legend of Zelda

Midna (Twilight Princess) - TP is one of my absolute favorite Zelda games, and Midna a favorite character. There’s just so much to her you don’t get to see that I was really hoping to get to dig into, still hope one day to. We’ll see. Worth keeping on roster.

Revali (Breath of the Wild) - my newest addition! I keep saying in complete seriousness “Genesis with more feathers” but seriously, I may have a type? I love him so much and wanted to see more of him, and by god if I have to do it myself so be it. (I have been playing a ton of BOTW lately which probably has a lot to do with it. XD)

Sheik (Ocarina of Time) - I love them so much. OoT didn’t have a ton of character building, but the sheer implications of the character speaks volumes that I want to explore. I’m lucky enough to be getting the chance to, too.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Tony Stark - did I mention I have a type? I feel he makes a good argument for it. I originally picked Tony up because I just fell head over heels for the character in the first couple Iron Man movies + Avengers. I... am less in love with him in the later movies, not gonna lie, and am so far behind on lore that I’m considering dropping him. But yeah, originally picked him up just because he had so much potential. Thx Disney, great job there.

Pokémon (gameverse)

Lily Hart (HG/SS OC) - another OC of mine, this time for a fandom that... I only really know through the games, as opposed to manga/anime. I picked her up because I really liked the idea of doing events or little ask things with her, and still may try to initiate some more of those. We’ll see?

Sailor Moon (manga/Crystal)

Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury - I actually picked Ami up because of a plot with @magicalxgirlsxrp where we were splitting up the Inners and the Shitennou for some mega threads. XD But yeah, I do like her. Even if she’s a challenge to write sometimes because she’s very much not like me, and very much smarter.

Kunzite - Kunzite I have always loved, always, and I’ve had him on here because I really wanted to explore him more. I love him even more after the teasing in Crystal of what might have been, be still my shippy heart.

Mamoru Chiba/Endymion/Tuxedo Mask - super fond of Mamoru, too; I didn’t care for him so much in the 90′s anime, but in the manga and Crystal I really became more fond. I do a few things differently, I think, but don’t we all? I picked him up for that very reason, in fact.

Minako Aino/Sailor Venus - Minako is really interesting to me because there’s so much more to her than her airheaded, bubbly persona that fits her like a glove... but is just as superficial. I mean, she’s sunny and happy but she’s also the OG Senshi, the leader of the Inners, a powerful, commanding fighter - she’s complex, and I really wanted to explore that + getting to have fun with her bubbliness.

Nephrite - another picked up from @magicalxgirlsxrp‘s enabling. But I do find him really interesting so it works out well. Haven’t done a lot with him, but we have plans. Plans I’m looking forward to.

Stardew Valley

M. Rasmodius - I knew I really wanted to do something with SDV, once I got to playing it, but I wasn’t sure who. I thought about Sebastian and Elliot, but already had interacted with a couple who were just fantastic. So instead, I did a good fallback of mine - because I never, ever get tired of playing mages. Ever. XD

Star Wars

HK-47 (KOTOR) - the attitude. I wanted to write HK entirely because of the scorching levels of sass from this droid.

Liana Raine (SWTOR f!JC) - the Jedi Consular storyline is one of my favorites out of all of SWTOR (tied with the Inquisitor, but I’m revamping her) and I really just wanted to keep playing with it even once I’d done the dedicated storyline.

Revan (KOTOR LS!F) - give me female Revan you cowards. -ahem- I have feels about Revan, okay? I love her so, so much - she even had her own blog, I love her that much. I would absolutely love to do something more with her but I will hold on to her if for no other reason than to make sure at least one black, female Revan exists in the world. (I want all the timetravel and crossover threads, hit me up.)

Tharan Cedrax (SWTOR) - another for attitude, really, and also definitely my type. XD He’s charming, he’s snarky, he’s sassy, he’s brilliant... I very much like Tharan and really felt he, like most of the companions, deserved more screentime. So, I’m here to give it to him.

Threads of Fate (Dewprism)

Duke - he’s so cool. I mean, he’s a dork, but his powers are amazing and he’s just a fun, incredibly upbeat character to play. And well, anything to spread my love of that teeny fandom.

Fancy Mel - Mel hits all the sweet spots for a mage character. She’s got flavor, she’s got amazing powers, and she had room to create a fantastic backstory with amazing crossover potential. Is she a bit OP? Yes. But she has no intention of using it for anything but her amusement/whimsy.

Rod the Bladestar - I love Rod. I love his oddly genteel manners, I love how he’s unwittingly sexist but quickly cleans up his act when put straight, I love how driven and passionate he is. Could do without such a typically-Square-outfit, but you can’t have everything. (In the right artists’ hands, he might even be pretty amazing, actually.)

Did you read all of that? Amazing. Any of them strike your interest? Hmu and maybe we could plot a thread! :eyes:

Also I sincerely apologize to mobile users who had to read all that because Tumblr can’t get it’s act together.

Fullmetal Alchemist One Of The Best Anime You’ll Ever Watch!

In this way, a great many people keen on anime know about the fundamental reason of the Fullmetal Alchemist story. Two young men, siblings, are facing a daily reality such that looks like the mid twentieth century in Germany, yet where "speculative chemistry" is genuine enchantment and has supplanted science in numerous parts of life. Their dad, an eminent chemist, leaves one day and never returns, which despite everything positions him as quite high on the general rundown of value anime guardians (no doubt, simply be happy your father didn't get himself transformed into a pig or isn't compelling you to steer a mammoth robot, you selfish jerks). For some time, the two siblings, Ed and Al Elric, are consummately substance to remain in an interesting, beautiful nation home with their mother. They study daddy's speculative chemistry books with expectations of one day being chemists like him.

Also Check: Bleach Filler List

However, things get ugly when their mom kicks the bucket. That, however their dad doesn't appear or send roses... In their misery over their loss of the main parent they had left, they get the splendid plan to attempt to breath life into her back with illegal speculative chemistry. (I'm practically mature enough to utilize an EZ Bake broiler, how much harder could transmuting a person resurrected be?)

Shock, doing something like this, it turns out, has awful outcomes. The ambiguously clarified powers-that-be resolved that Ed's discipline is to lose an exorbitant price, while Al loses his entire body, however his spirit is appended by Ed's speculative chemistry to a suit of protection. What's more, they don't get mama back.

Since that occurrence, Edward Elric turns into a "state chemist", working for the military of his nation in return for access to characterized catalytic data and to the Central library. Edward holds the expectation that he can examine speculative chemistry enough to figure out how to recover his mom, alongside obviously his arm, leg, and sibling's body.

The siblings travel around their nation and have a great deal of energizing experiences, as they get got up to speed both in political interests and clashes with powerful creatures. They become familiar with a ton about speculative chemistry and increasingly about the puzzles novel to their own lived encounters, yet they additionally do a lot of helping other people all the while.

The anime was made first in 2003 at that point was essentially revamped in 2009. Also to Sailor Moon: Crystal, the 2009 form, called Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in English, was made with a superior activity quality, a general increasingly develop tone, and it was proposed to be nearer to the first manga. Dissimilar to Sailor Moon: Crystal, in any case, Brotherhood has a plot that wanders somewhat further from the first. That is on the grounds that when they were making the first FMA anime, they outpaced the composition of the manga, so they made the story such that wound up being altogether different from the manga.

I didn't watch the consummation of the Fullmetal Alchemist arrangement, however a few contrasts I noticed when I exchanged over from viewing Fullmetal Alchemist to watching Brotherhood the accompanying contrasts:

The world in Brotherhood is greater, incorporating the siblings' nation of beginning (Amestris), yet considering the governmental issues and universal approaches of neighboring nations, and including characters from outside of Amestris.

The activity quality is better in Brotherhood, and the characters are increasingly genuine and less cartoony.

A portion of the homunculi have various personalities in the two shows, and in the two shows the back story of the homunculi and how one a homunculus gets made was somewhat extraordinary. In the first 2003 anime, a homunculus is naturally made as a programmed impact of any endeavor to perform human transmutation. In this way, every homunculus looks like an individual who somebody had endeavored to bring back utilizing taboo speculative chemistry. In Brotherhood, the entirety of the homunculi were made as branches of the first "Smaller person in the Flask" homunculus, who picked up god-like powers in the wake of decimating a whole human advancement. I sort of preferred the 2003 anime's form more, since they needed to basically battle the beasts they made, not another person's creation. Be that as it may, the homunculi in Brotherhood were still exceptionally cool.

The motion pictures: Sacred Star of Milos is all the more a Brotherhood-universe film, though Conqueror of Shamballa was made during the hour of the first 2003 arrangement. While I believe they're both extraordinary movies, I incline toward Sacred Star of Milos for being smoother, having a plot that bodes well, and for being pertinent to the contemporary legislative issues of worldwide destitution and government. Shamballa is an intriguing and engaging film, yet the "equal universes" thing causes the entire plot to appear to be tangled now and again. In addition, Shamballa has a basic clash of good and malevolence, while Milos has a more nuanced feeling of profound quality for the characters in question.

It may be attached to the distinctions in movement quality, yet I felt like the Brotherhood fights were increasingly epic and the battling was all the more drastically extreme.

♫ (dance!au with Miyuki)

@thatbastardmiyuki Letme start with saying that I’m sorry that this took so long. I used to botheryou with this for a while, telling you how things kinda developed without meever finishing it - and now, probably half a year or even more later, I’mfinally able to show it to you. Man, I need to get over my own laziness, haha(and learn how to write other characters because omg have I failed at this). Also, I dare to saythis is not 100% what the prompt was about. But oh well, it’s ChrisMiyu withCEO!Chris and model!Miyuki and I’ll never stop loving this AU. I hope you’llenjoy it! ♥

— 5 Times… Prompts ( Not Accepting )

♫ - Five times my muse swears it’s not a date, and the one time it maybe is.

The first time definitely wasn’t a date because of two reasons.

First, there were too many colleagues around when they sat next to each other at that bar they had gone to after work - and to Chris a date was clearly something for two people in private.

Second, things may or may not have ended with them having sex in Chris’ apartment, quickly turning this potential ‘date’ into an unexpected one-night-stand in the heat of a moment. Not that Chris minded much. Nor did he regret practically spending the night with a stranger who happened to be one of the most popular models in Japan. This wasn’t something that would go public either way, since they both had some sort of reputation to keep: Him, the soon-to-be CEO of a company worth a fortune. Miyuki Kazuya, the famous model probably everyone in Japan already heard of (and needless to say most women - and perhaps even men - considered attractive).

They wouldn’t see each other again after that night; because Chris knew the rules of one-night stands without having any prior experience with them. And yet he had the decency to make some coffee for both of them the next morning, surprised by the fact that Miyuki had still been slumbering peacefully beside him when he woke up.

Just because this clearly hadn’t been a date, didn’t mean he should forget his manners, right?

II.

The second time was even more spontaneous than the first time.

Miyuki had refused additional money for replacing a model that unexpectedly had been unable to attend the photo shooting for Chris’ companies’ new advertisement series. Of course he was thankful that he did the job (although it meant for Miyuki spending his free time with work again), but Chris was known to pay back his debts as soon as he could. And if there was one thing about him that one could always be sure of, it was that he was a man of his word.

So after work, they ended up in a small café with Chris paying for both of them. It wasn’t really what he had in mind by repaying him, but he went with it as the model suggested it to him.

Oddly enough, even before Miyuki ordered anything, Chris remembered that the model liked black coffee without sugar - and it slightly irritated him how much he could still recall from their small talk a few nights ago.

“You don’t look happy”, he heard Miyuki say. “How come?”

“Frankly, I didn’t expect you to suggest to come here. It doesn’t make up for the fact that you helped us out on your free day.”

There was a teasing smirk on the other’s face - and Chris even remembered the exact same smirk from that night when they–

“What if I told you that there might be a way to really make up for it, then?” Chris felt a foot nudging against his and amber eyes resting on him without any kind of shame, causing him to feel a weird tension in his gut. It didn’t feel bad, he had to admit, but he tried to not let it show too much. It would be a mystery to him if he actually succeeded, but it turned out to not really matter barely 15 minutes later when they left the café again.

Two things were crystal clear for Chris the moment they entered his apartment again: First, this wouldn’t be a date, because he’d never end one with fucking someone into his mattress. Second, he didn’t date for the sake of repaying them, even if it was very tempting in Miyuki’s case.

III.

It was his birthday when Miyuki suddenly appeared for the third time, causing Chris to forget that the actual surprise was the chocolate cake and the neatly decorated office his colleagues prepared for him, not the model standing next to him.

He wondered who had invited him in the first place since he wasn’t working regularly in his company. In fact Miyuki had only worked as a model for their advertisement posters twice, which had coincidentally been the only times they had seen each other to begin with.

Perhaps this was Miyuki’s reason to wait until the other employees returned to their neglected duties before he dared to talk to Chris. Or maybe he just wanted no one to overhear their conversation.

“I always thought you were just one of the co-workers here. Should’ve known that you’re higher positioned than this - according to your fancy apartment.”

It made Chris smirk. “You never asked for my occupation in detail. I prefer not to talk about it.”

Miyuki chuckled, leaning against the desk as his eyes wandered through the office for a couple of seconds before he pushed away again.

“Well, I should probably go too”, the model mumbled suddenly. Chris turned around to face him, the obvious question of why he’d been here heavily hanging in the air, even if he never uttered it, doubting he’d get a response. There might’ve been some disappointment too though.

Turned out his guess was true when Miyuki placed his index finger over his lips and gave him a playful wink. It left Chris in a state of confusion as the model went to the door with a nonchalantly spoken “See you, CEO-sama.”

Of course this wasn’t even close to be considered a date and Chris wouldn’t have thought about it if it wasn’t Tanba who asked him when he had started dating the model barely an hour after Miyuki had left. There was some sort of harsh tone in his words, as if to complain about Chris being secretive although they had been best friends since high school.

“We’re not dating”, he answered calmly. “I didn’t expect him to know my birthday.”

“You told him when we were out for a drink that night. It was shortly before you suddenly left with him.”

Chris blinked at that. How could he not remember this ever happened?

Tanba sighed and pat his shoulder as he stepped closer. “Be cautious around him. He seems twisted.”

Yeah, I know, Chris thought. He was twisted and mysterious. But this was exactly what was so attractive about him. Although he did wonder what sort of hidden message was behind that little wrapped up box on his table. When he opened it, there was only a key inside of it and a cryptic note.

‘Thank me another time.’

IV.

The fourth time had been what Chris thought to be the encounter that started to really set the cogs into motion.

“I should really feel offended by how you expect me to have any kind of fashion sense. I’m a model. I only wear clothes others chose for me.”

And yet he was still there, helping Chris choose a new suit without making the impression as if he didn’t want to. Surely, it was mostly because the owner of the shop wanted Miyuki to wear one of his suits in public to promote his clothes. They had been in the middle of measuring him up when Chris entered the very same shop.

“Is that so? You seem pretty independent to me.”

Chris earned a snort at that.

“So, what do you need a suit for? Shouldn’t you already have a bunch by now?”

“It’s for a wedding.”

“Oh? Guess I should congratulate you then.”

Chris knew that this was the part where he should correct him and tell him that this obviously wasn’t his wedding he’d attend but someone else’s. But Miyuki was also just teasing, knowing that Chris wasn’t involved with anyone else - aside from him for a few times by now.

Still, something seemed off with the way he looked at him; He seemed a little tense, like he was concerned - and Chris wanted to know why. Shouldn’t he be glad that he was sticking to his freedom even after it seemed like they somehow got closer?

“You want to look like an old man?”

Chris furrowed his brows at the sudden question.

“Pardon?”

“Did you actually take a look at that tie you’re wearing? You look like a grandpa who’s visiting his family. Here, try this one.”

He shouldn’t trust him so blindly with this, but Miyuki seemed to know what he was talking about and he actually chose a tie that Chris liked as well.

“Maybe I should ask you more often about some fashion advice.”

“That’s going to be expensive.”

“But it’ll most likely be worth it.”

This time, they both chuckled, and although it only lasted for a few seconds, it felt different to him than any other time.

“I’m already finished with work for the day. If you want to book me, you better make it soon. I’m usually very busy.”

“How about now?”

There it was again: That teasing smile on his lips, so nonchalant as Miyuki tied his tie. And Chris wanted to kiss it away.

“Have you decided on a suit yet? It would be a shame if you came here to find one only to get distracted and leave without one.”

If Miyuki only knew that Chris had long decided on one - even if he looked like his other ones. “Actually, I think I did. Thanks to your helpful advice.”

“You’re welcome”, Miyuki hummed. “Your place?” It wasn’t really a question and Chris didn’t bother answering.

Not dating Miyuki Kazuya surely had many advantages. And just a few hours later, Chris would add another one to the list after he realized that holding him in their aftermath felt better, the more often he got the chance to.

“We’re not dating”

“But he stays overnight, you’re fucking and meeting each other since months.Yeah. Definitely doesn’t sound like a date to me.” Isashiki gave him a look Chris could barely avoid, rubbing his temples. He was standing in front of his wardrobe, looking through his clothes while Isashiki layed behind him on his bed, reading through a manga without ever giving off the impression of being too distracted by it.

“Why do you even know about it?”

He regretted his own question but as soon as he opened his mouth to take it back, his friend was already speaking. “I’m living next to you, Chris. I’m not even surprised anymore whenever he walks out of your place in the morning. Also, Tanba saw you two at the convenience store on Christmas’ Eve. He said you were stressed because your Christmas plans with your family got cancelled, so he wanted to cheer you up. But after he saw you with your boyfriend, he crashed my place before the storm started. And… wait, did you really sleep with him…?”

“He’s not my boyfriend”, Chris muttered, refusing to admit how right his friend was with practically everything.

“I can’t hear you. Your voice gets too soft whenever you lie.” Weirdly enough, it was the truth - and the reason Chris preferred not to lie in the first place. “When will you ask him out again? Also, don’t put that on. That looks like it’s from your grandparents. Man, how are you even dating a model?” He huffed. “Well, guess he’s not after your fashion style.”

“We’re not…”

“Dating. Try again. I know a couple when I see one.”

Why was he even trying? If anything, Chris had to admit that his friend had read enough love stories to read between the lines. Still, it would be wrong to call any of their encounters a date. But maybe–

“Did you know that in the next chapter…”

“DON’T CHANGE THE SUBJECT, CHRIS.”

“But you might want to know that the heroine is going to… ”

“DON’T TELL ME A WORD OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HER!” There was a pause. “She’ll be fine though… right?”

Chris only smiled amusedly, closing the wardrobe.

VI.

“I’msurprised…”, Miyuki said when they made their way back to the car. They’d been visiting a concert he had gotten two tickets for - because apparently the band’s lead singer had given them to Miyuki to ‘convince’ him to appear in their new music video. Of course mostly for a better promotion. As far as Chris knew, Miyuki hadn’t declined or accepted yet - but given that Miyuki had emphasized that he liked the band, he’d probably accept sooner or later.

“Yeah?”, Chris replied when they reached red traffic lights, leaning back some as he gave Miyuki a curious look.

“Yeah. I’m surprised you actually have other clothes than suits.”

They stared at each other for what felt like half an eternity, a strange silence between them until Chris took a breath.

“Did you… think that I’d wear a suit on a concert?”

“Well, it was hard for me to imagine you in something else than a suit.”

Chris huffed, his smirk giving away that he wasn’t upset. Granted, he’d never seen him out of his business clothes (aside from him completely naked at least). “I know it might seem strange to you, but I’m actually pretty normal. Most of the time.”

“You mean, whenever you’re not leading a company?” The model chuckled. “Guess I’m no one to talk. Not with my occupation at least.“

Not really, Chris wanted to answer, but kept it to himself when the lights turned green. Miyuki’s place wasn’t very far away from the concert hall, he reminded himself. Better not start any teasing or smooth comebacks, or it would end in disheveled clothes and sweat again - although Miyuki honestly didn’t seem too eager to push for anything that night. Or maybe he was and Chris just didn’t read him right.

“Thanks. For driving us.”

“It’s alright”, Chris replied. “I like driving. I just barely have any reason to do it on my own.”

“I see.” He could see him tilt his head. “Does that mean you only drive if you have a reason to?”

It wasn’t obvious where this question would lead them, so Chris only slowly nodded. He didn’t have anything embarrassing or secretive to hide about this; although he knew that it wasn’t very normal to have a driver whenever he went to work (or back home), just because he could spend the time sitting in the car with looking through his daily schedules rather than dealing with traffic.

“You could say that.”

Miyuki didn’t reply immediately: “So if I need a drive, I could just give you a call and hope you’d pick me up?”

“Perhaps.” Chris was pretty sure he didn’t sound nearly as relaxed as he thought he would. God knew why. “Depends on the occasion. I’m afraid I won’t be the right person if…” He stopped. “Under… certain conditions.”

“Certain conditions?” Chris couldn’t shake off the feeling that the model had hesitated again, maybe because he wasn’t sure whether he’d wanted to hear a possible answer or not. Obviously his curiosity won that fight - much to Chris’ despair.

“Well, I’d feel out of place if you wanted me to pick you up from a date.” Not that it would happen anyway, because first, Miyuki wasn’t the dating type, he’d made that pretty sure a few times. And second–

Chris was probably the last person he’d call anyway.

If there was anything he’d expect from Miyuki,it was definitely not a short laugh.

“Wow Chris. So mean.”

Chris. He’d never called him by his givenname before. Nor shown any signs of being hurt by what he’d said.

But it definitely rang a bell.

“I didn’t mean…”

“No, it’s alright.”

Was it though? The weird feeling in his guts told him the opposite. But then again his guts were giving him very strange signals lately. Especially when he was around him.

“I wasn’t referring to tonight.”

It was definitely a weird coincidence that theyreached the street Miyuki’s place was in - now that Chris actually realized whatconversation he’d started. He let out a sigh when he turned off the engine.Weirdly enough, Miyuki unfastened his seatbelt but didn’t open the door.

“Does that mean that this is a datethen?”

Chris looked up from the steering wheel,seemingly baffled. They’d never dared to cross their boundaries and talkedabout anything related to dating.Well, at least not dating each other. Chris remembered that they once talkedabout past relationships, how difficult it was to find someone who’d be able to deal with their tight schedules and how they both came to the conclusion that it might be for the best to just take things easy.

So there was definitely a chance Miyuki wasplaying with him now. Trying to force a reaction only to push himaway again. Just like he had after he’d helped Chris choose a suit for thatwedding he’d attended months ago; It had taken Miyuki weeks to text him back after that night and Chris had to be the one trying to actually initiate a conversation again.

But then again; wasn’t this actually a date? They had been without a third party (except that one time when Miyuki had to talk to the lead singer of that band which - if Chris was brutally honest - really didn’t give the best performance; and he had already come with the smallest amount of expectations considering he wasn’t much into modern music in the first place). They also hadn’t spoken about spending the night at either of their places together, which made Chris assume that Miyuki might simply not be interested. He’d lie if he’d say that it didn’t somehow hurt his pride. And perhaps his feelings overall.

Still, there was some hope left. He didn’t knew why or what he was actually hoping for on the long run, but it was connected to spending more time with him - even if it didn’t include any physical contact.

“I see.”

Chris didn’t understand Miyuki’s words at first, but when he opened the door to get out of the car, his body reacted on its own, grabbing Miyuki’s arm before he could turn and get out.

“Yes”, he heard himself say. “It might be a date.”

There was pure confusion and hesitation on Miyuki’s face, that fortunately Chris understood quicker than before, lips curving at the realization.

“But I can’t decide this for both of us, can I?”

First frozen in his position, Miyuki slowly sank back onto the seat. Which really wouldn’t have been a sign of a win yet, but when the model smirked back at him, he knew that he might’ve turned this around.

“Fair enough”, he replied. “How about we get inside then? Would be a shame if we didn’t come to a conclusion, wouldn’t it?”

Usually, Chris would assume that this was the beginning of another of their sexual encounters. But there was something different about the way Miyuki was talking, was offering him to stay over. He’d be damn stupid to not go and see where it would lead them this time.

“Gladly”, Chris replied - and little did he know that this would be first time that they’d wake up very dressed the next morning yet happier than any time they hadn’t.
