I went to Hebden Bridge recently for the first Sylvia Plath literary festival (it was really good, hope it's an annual thing) and omg. The vibes of this place! It was like walking through a Hallmark movie; there was a Pumpkin Festival, everyone and thing was autumn incarnate, it was beautiful.
And obviously. Obviously! My mind went to fandom and fanfic. It was like I was part of a construct of a perfect fic, lives were playing out before my very eyes, and I can't do mood boards, but here. I think you get the gist
You know the friendship is real when your first instinct against danger is to protect the group's little puppy.
This is one of the scenes that I adore SO much. You can tell that both Suou and Sakura made the decision to shield Nirei subconsciously. This is so important because usually Sakura would charge into the battlefield and leave Nirei in the care of Suou since he was aware that Suou could do that with ease.
The look of surprise on their faces when they saw the other doing the same thing is so priceless. I think at that moment they really realised how much they had grown on each other.
