This one-short takes place in a timeline where Kaga is the student council president and Geiju is his vice president. This is before Megami came to Akademi and before Ayano became active. :D I might do a +18 for Geiju and Kaga- idk 😃 I just need an idea for it and know who's going to be top and bottom-
"Amai came up to me yesterday and asked if we could help her set up a bake sale this week. It would be a huge help for the cooking club. It can bring money for them to buy ingredients and cooking supplies."Kaga explained to Geiju. Geiju was standing in front of the Kaga sitting behind. He was holding a folder that had documents of the events that were going to happen during this week. Geiju was the vice president of the student council that Kaga picked himself and trusted the most. Along with that, the students respected him.
"No."
"Why not? It can bring some enjoyment for the students. The students can leave their class to be able to buy a sweet from Amai's bake sale and have something to eat during class time. The classes are five hours with 30 minutes long. There are some students who don't have time to eat in the mornings. This would help them eat something during class without worrying about being hungry. The bake sale is a small event. It's not as big as Asu's event with her club they have this Friday. We can come early in the morning like we always do. Uekiya, Budo, Maka, you and I can help the cooking club to set up the event."Kaga suggested, leaning forward against the desk.
Uekiya was the secretary of the student council. She is known to be the "big sister" of the students in Akademi. She was always there for her classmates with open arms no matter the situation. No student would dare to look bad in front of their big sister.
Budo was the Enforcer of the student council. He is well respected and liked within the students and staff. Budo's sense of justice was one of the major things that popped out to Kaga. Budo's determination to protect the weak, or anyone in general from harm, was something Kaga admired.
Maka was the treasurer of the student council. Kaga liked her eccentric character, and she stood out from the crowd compared to other students. She was weird (just like him), but Maka was someone he could count on to get things done in her own way.
"No."Geiju refused.
Kaga remained quiet from Geiju's refusal before a large smirk formed on his lips,"It is because of your brother?"
"Yes."
Kaga leaned back against his chair and smiled,"Come on, Geiju, Shoku is your brother. Of course, he's going to be excited to see you and spend time with you. He cares about you."
"Annoying. Also, no space."Geiju responded, referring to that there was no space to put in a simple, waste of time and space bake sale. Kaga stared at Geiju again before glancing down at his computer screen,"Of course you would find him annoying. You find everyone annoying, even me."
"Correct."
Kaga let out a small chuckle,"But you are right. There's no space for a bake sale this week. However, we can put the bake sale for next week."He smiled brightly. Geiju shook his head,"Please. No."
"Next week it is!"Kaga exclaimed with excitement and typed onto his computer to put it in his calendar."During the afternoon meeting, I'll explain it to them. I'm sure they'll be happy to help."Geiju watched with a bored look, holding the folder close to his chest. A disappointed sigh escaped Geiju. Kaga stood up from his chair and smiled,"Let's go speak with the cooking club to give them the good news." He walked out of the student council room. After a few steps, Kaga stopped and glanced over to see no Geiju following him.
Kaga frowned and walked back to the student council. He peaked to see Geiju standing on the same spot and staring at the doorway,"Geiju, Let's go."
"No."
"Shoku would be happy to see you. Besides, you're my vice president. You have to be by my side as if we are some kind of couple."
"Slice my throat."Geiju threw his head back to expose his throat to Kaga, being prepared for being killed, which he desperately wanted at that moment. Kaga huffed and made his way over to the taller male. He went behind him and pressed his hands against his back. He immediately started to push him out of the room,"Come on. There's no need to be negative here. Your brother would love to see you there. It'll be the highlight of his day."
Geiju slowly stepped forward with Kaga's pushing with a boring look on his face. His head was still thrown back,"Involves you."
"What about me?"
"You're unpredictable. Annoying. Eccentric."
"You would rather slice your throat than date me?"
"Yes."
"Of course you would."Kaga laughed as he continued to push Geiju towards the staircase. Kaga stopped pushing him and grabbed Geiju's hand. He walked down the staircase with Geiju being forced to follow,"It burns."He blankly complained, having his eyes now staring at Kaga.
"Don't be dramatic."Kaga stepped his foot onto the first floor once they made down. With that, Kaga walked to the cooking club that was in front of them. He opened the double doors and stepped inside with Geiju next to him, still having the grasp of his hand in his.
Shoku and Amai spotted them and walked towards the two,"Hello sweethearts! What can we help you with today?"Amai asked with a soft smile on her lips. Shoku's eyes shined at the sight of his brother,"Geiju! You're here!"
"Rather not be."Geiju tried pull his hand away from Kaga's,"It burns."
Kaga let go of his hand,"He's being dramatic. I forced him to come. I told him that Shoku would be happy to see him and have him in the cooking club." Shoku smiled widely and wrapped his arms around Geiju, giving him a nice hug,"Aw, well, I am happy to see him and have him here in the cooking club. It's always nice to see my amazing brother."
Geiju side-eyed Shoku while standing there awkwardly during the embrace. Kaga smiled and looked at Amai,"Oh! And we have talked about your bake sale idea. Unfortunately, we don't have space this week, but we can do it next week. The student council will be here early in the morning on Monday to help you and your club prepare and decorate the plaza before students come."
Amai gasped as her eyes lit up at the good news,"That's great! With that, we have time to change some ideas and make adjustments. Thank you for letting me do a bake sale."
"No problem. I'm always here to listen if you need anything, Amai."Kaga smiled,"We should get going. We have other events to work on and do adjustments on." Shoku pulled away from the embrace and smiled,"Well, I wish you two luck! See you during lunch, bro!"Shoku smiled over at his brother. Geiju simply nodded and walked out of the cooking club. Kaga followed him, waving goodbye at the two.
Kaga stood next to the taller male and smiled at him,"See, it wasn't so bad."
"I hate you."Geiju side-eyed him. Kaga chuckled,"Aw,"he patted Geiju's back,"I know." The taller male immediately started to speed walk ahead of his student council president.
"Hey!"Kaga cried out, trying to catch up with the emotionless male ahead of him.

WELCOME TO KAWAGUCHI KAIRI’S FILMOGRAPHY ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ 𖦹 ❜
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❪ ਏਓ ❫ 𓈒 ۫ 。 ꜜ ENHYPEN’S EIGHTH MEMBER: KAIRI ⋅ ★̲𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾.
Tumblr media
୨୧˚ . ✷ › MOTHER (2010) TV SERIES. Portraying Rena Michiki / Tsugumi Suzuhara
Kairi made her acting debut at the age of 5-years-old through her role as Rena Michiki, also Tsugumi Suzuhara, in the hit Japan TV series, Mother. Despite being young at the time, this really solidified her impact in the acting industry for upcoming child actors, as she managed to show off that children her age were more than capable of taking roles that weren’t just typical, happy children.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › CONFESSIONS (2010) MOVIE. Portraying Mirai Natsume
Though this role was no big role for Kairi, nor did it play a prominent part in her career, it’s one of her favorites she’s ever had to film her. At the time, she didn’t understand the plot nor did she take any particular interest in it, but after rewatching it as a teenager, she names it as one of her favorites of all time. This movie really changed her preference in TV dramas, and now as a teenager, Kairi overall prefers thrillers over comedies.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › MUROMO NO OKITE (2011) TV SERIES. Portraying Kaoru Sasakura
Admittedly, this series was one of her favorites to film. The cast and production were really kind to her, and she made a life-long friend with her onscreen brother. It’s not really known internationally, and though Engenes have watched it to support her past works, it never garnered enough attention to say “oh, this was a big part of her life.” However, in Japan, the impact of the movie on her career formally determined that Kairi was an incredibly diverse actor for someone of her age.
Tumblr media
୨୧˚ . ✷ › BUNNY DROP (2011) MOVIE. Portraying Rin Kaga
Now this film is not amongst her favorites, however it’s one that she thinks about a lot these days. She had a lot of fun filming it back in 2010, but she quite honestly didn’t understand the difference between being someone’s natural child or adopted child, so when she first learned of it, she didn’t like being exposed to how differently a person regarded someone’s child depending on their blood. It really taught her that blood isn’t thicker than water.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › BEAUTIFUL RAIN (2012) TV SERIES. Miu Kinoshita
This one, more than any of the other films or series’ on this list, has really left a mark on her life —— both personally and professionally. She was six at the time of filming, seven when the show was first aired, and only 2 years into her career, but it officially made her a well-respected child actress in the Japanese acting industry. The show itself was really emotional for her, because it heavily reminded her of her grandmother, and therefore a series that she holds very close to heart.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › PACIFIC RIM (2013) MOVIE. Portraying young Mako Mori
Quite honestly, this a movie that Kairi does not really care much for or have any memories of. It did really well in Japan for a couple of weeks after it was released, however, had no impact on Kairi’s career because her role wasn’t that important in anyone’s eyes. That being said, this was the first time Ni-ki ever saw her on screen and the first time he ever had a “celebrity” crush.
Tumblr media
୨୧˚ . ✷ › ASHITA, MAMA GA INAI (2014) TV SERIES. Portraying Kirara Sasaki / “Post”
The biggest thing that stayed with Kairi after filming this were the friendships that came with it. The three other leads in the film were all within her age range, and therefore incredibly easy to get along with and form tight bonds with. To this day, Kairi keeps up with them on an almost daily basis, and they’re the first people she visits whenever she’s back in Japan. However, the recognition and initial buzz that followed her name following the release of this series did have a relatively negative impact on her life. Viewers were not appreciative of the inaccurate portrayal of Japanese orphanages and received a lot of criticism from welfare organizations. Kairi didn’t really care because she wasn’t the one who wrote the script and she was only 11 anyways.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › WATASHI WO HANASANAIDE (2016) TV SERIES. Portraying young Kyoko Hoshina
Despite it being fairly recent (not really, but it wasn’t ages ago, either), Kairi has no recollection of ever filming this series nor watching it after it aired. It generally had no impact on her life, and she doesn’t care for it all.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › MIXED DOUBLES (2017) MOVIE. Portraying Nanaki Hidaka
Similarly to the previous listed show, Mixed Doubles is not a movie that Kairi cares much for. Though she enjoyed the filming process and got to film with her first on-screen brother again, she doesn’t remember much of the script or the impact that it had on her life.
Tumblr media
୨୧˚ . ✷ › YOUR NAME (2016) ANIME. Voicing Yotsuha Miyamizu
Her first ever voice-acting role, and therefore one she holds very close to heart. Admittedly, prior to getting this role, she hadn’t read the manga series and did not initially understand the huge positive impact it would have on her life. It opened up a whole different world of acting and exposed her works to international audiences, and she’s still receiving praise from fans to this day. Jay, not knowing that she voice acted in the anime, was quite surprised when he heard a younger Kairi start talking on screen.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › ANOHANA: THE FLOWER WE SAW THAT DAY (2017) ANIME. Voicing Meiko Honma / “Menma”
Her favorite voice acting role of all time just because she reread the manga over and over again. When she was first offered the role, she quite honestly lost her mind and fan-girled over it for days after that. She can’t really rewatch the anime without getting weirded out from hearing her voice, but it’s still something she’ll talk about in high regards when recommending animes to her friends.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › POKÉMON THE MOVIE: THE POWER OF US (2018) ANIME. Voicing Margo
Although Kairi does not know a single thing about the Pokémon universe, she recall finding the entire script to this anime extremely funny. It exposed her to international audiences and garnered her more attention from casting agencies. However, this marked her final role in the Japanese acting industry before announcing a halt in any future projects. She moved to Korea soon after, prioritized becoming a trainee, and no longer pursued any acting roles.
Tumblr media
୨୧˚ . ✷ › THE KING OF PIGS (2022) K-DRAMA. Potraying Lee Jihyun
Though it was a minor role, and though she was credited as a guest star for the appearances she made, this drama truly blew up Kairi’s popularity in Korea and internationally. This was the first time that most of her viewers were able to see her skills in acting and how diverse she was when it came to her roles. It also marked the end of her acting hiatus, with HYBE Labels stating that she would return to the acting industry while juggling her responsibilities as an idols upon request from her.
୨୧˚ . ✷ › BLUE BIRTHDAY (2024) WEB SERIES. Potraying Oh Harin.
Admittedly, this was her absolute favorite to film because of how comfortable the atmosphere was and because of the friendships she made. Truth be told, she was extremely nervous to be casted as a main lead in a romance-thriller drama —— as was her love interest —— because she didn’t know if it would be well received by Korean Engenes specifically. Either way, she really did enjoy stepping out of her comfort zone when it came to portraying Harin, and learned a lot. It was received well by International audiences, and has called for more casting offers. Kairi and ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook were casted as the main leads in this drama in early 2024 alongside Park Jihu and Choi Hyunwook.

In honour of "I was born for this" Week I wanna write about main characters and I mean Angel and Jimmy
Angel Rahimi - girl, who graduated school and don't know what to do with her life, because all of what she thinking is "The Ark". She not just listen music of this group, she talk with other fans about musician's life and made many dan theories. In the first sight you may think that she typical fan girl, but she way deeper inside.
Jimmy Kaga-Ricci - front man of "The Ark". In school he maded music band and never dreamed that their little group will be so famous. But with fame come more attention and responsibility, sometimes Jimmy think that he don't live his own live.
What combine these characters is that they don't what you think of them in the first sight. Angel don't be so happy on concert of her favourite band. Jimmy don't so happy about all his success and money. And one of the reasons why I love this book

I have a theory about what would happen if Ayano lost in week 10, before I start, I suggest you first read this theory about why Megami might have a crush on Taro :
So, during her week, Megami developed feelings for Taro and would confess to him on Friday under the cherry tree, which Taro would accept definitely after she protected him from a serial killer.
But hey! what about Megami's family? they would never let her date someone like him. the answer is pretty simple :
After Taro treated her & made her feel like a normal person, she will want this to be her lifestyle so much that she will give up her future as CEO and leave her toxic family behind and convince Taro to live out of town as a couple.
After that, Taro will follow his dream of being an author, with Megami who will either be a part-time employee or a happy housewife.
But what about Saikou Corp? well, Kencho will be the sole heir of the company, until Kaga comes and steal his position as if he is stealing a lollipop from a child's mouth.
Feel free to share your opinions on the theory.

i gathered from your blog that you love hlitf and i have started to as well!! but thank you so much for the info it really helps me a lot with choosing routes to play ;) i wanted to get another perspective because ive been reading reviews to get an overall feel and i feel that the general consensus is that kaga has the most interesting relationship with MC and their dynamic is wonderful. also hes hot af so thats an extra bonus HAHA i got his recent event story and that did not dissapoint!!
yay!! i’m so glad, hlitf is the BEST. and no worries, i’m here to talk about hlitf anytime! i do feel that kaga has an interesting dynamic bc he actually falls for her surprisingly quickly and he totally has a barbed tongue but you really start to understand the fondness underneath it (to the point where even when he calls me trash in someone else’s route and isn’t in love with me i’m still like 😍😍😍 kaga-san you care about me!!!!). he’s very “the two of us against the world”/ “we’re different” ugh i just love him so much. like he has such a shitty attitude sometimes but when he realises his mc is actually insecure or hurt by something he’s just so straightforward about letting her know she’s the only one. and we love seeing yakuza kaga get MAD when she’s in danger!! his mc is sometimes frustrating and pessimistic but you really see her grow and develop as a detective and a girlfriend and i love whenever she can’t help but talk back to him and he’s like HUH? WHAT WAS THAT YOU MONGREL and she’s like “nothing.......” lmao. one hint for getting kaga’s happy endings is that the options where she kind of talks back underneath her breath tend to give more points. 
also YEAH HE’S SUPER HOT LMAO. his recent event stories are pretty indicative of standard kaga! he also has a lot of very genuine moments ugh i just love him soooo much. honestly cannot think of a single kaga story that was disappointing. his s3 is also so outstanding and his mc in it is amazing... i love her so much. the two of them are wonderful together and he’s so whipped for her ahhhhHHHHHHH. never forget that time (in a vip event story) he hecking drank strawberry milk because she didn’t realise he bought the strawberry milk for her and instead took the coffee he had actually bought for himself.

Hi everyone! So this was my first time taking part in the @osemanversebigbang but I had so much fun!! I can't wait to read everyone's entries! 💜
Title: Angel Rahimi And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Lunch Break
Characters: Angel, Juliet, Rowan, Jimmy, Lister, Bliss, two of Angel’s future uni friends (OCs).
Spoilers? Minor spoilers of important events in “I Was Born For This”.
Word Count: 3.6k
Ships: Bicci, one joke about Juliet/Rowan.
~Joan of Arc (Probably)
“I am so fucking tired”
“Right, time’s up, put your pens down.” The exam officer says from the front of the room. I scribble one last sentence before my hand gives out, and I all but throw my pen onto the desk, sighing as dramatically as I can. This week is a fucking nightmare. Exams and assignments are the piss. Fuck uni, I’m ready to drop out. Or drop dead. Either works, honestly.
As I leave the exam hall, I walk past some people from the students’ union. They’re handing out flyers for the Christmas ball next week. My housemates are all planning on going, but my friends and I planned our present swap for that night, so we’re going to spend it eating a fuck ton of snacks and watching the cheesiest Christmas films we can find. I can’t wait, I bought them each a bag of their favourite sweets from the American candy shop, it's going to be so much fun!
But that’s next week. Right now, all I want is to sit at a table that doesn’t have an exam paper on it, and eat something very greasy and very unhealthy. There’s a pizza place just on the edge of campus, run by some of the culinary arts students, and they make the best sauce ever. It’s pretty cheap too, which makes it a favourite for most people, especially at the end of a semester, when everyone’s bank accounts are running low.
I have about an hour until I need to be back in the exam hall, so I take full advantage of the outdoor seating and collapse into a chair after ordering. My pizza is brought out to me not long after, and I breathe in the smell. Nothing has smelt more gorgeous than the slices sitting in front of me. It’s a surprisingly warm day, for December at least, and for a moment, everything feels calm. I can hear a bird singing in a tree somewhere, other students are hanging around campus, most with their noses in their phones or in textbooks, and I actually let myself relax for a bit. I’ve done all the revision I can for this next exam, and I’m in desperate need of a break. I deserve this.
I pick up my first slice of pizza, and bring it up to my mouth. As I’m about to take a bite, however, my phone rings. I put the pizza down with a sigh and answer the phone without looking at who’s calling. Mum probably sensed I wasn’t doing any work, and is calling to check up on me.
“Hello?” I say tiredly.
“Angel, hi! Is this a good time??” I grin at the sound of Juliet’s voice.
“Hell yeah, it’s a perfect time! What’s up?”
“Wait, you don’t know why I’m calling?” Juliet says hesitantly. Shit. What have I forgotten now? I know it’s not her birthday. Wait, is it mine?? I swear exams rot your brain, have I actually forgotten my own birthday?
“No…?” I ask after internally monologuing for way too long.
“Oh my god, you don’t know??” Juliet screeches in my ear, “Angel go look at your phone, it’s urgent!”
Now very concerned, I put Juliet on speaker and, for the first time all morning, actually read the notifications filling my lock screen. I open the Twitter news one, and my mouth drops open in shock.
“Holy shit.”
On my screen is a news article with a headline that reads, “THE ARK’S JIMMY KAGA-RICCI AND LISTER BIRD’S SECRET RELATIONSHIP EXPOSED”, and just below it sits a large photo of Jimmy and Lister, standing outside a pub, kissing. I don’t believe it.
“Holy fu- Hold on a second. Mate, isn’t that the pub by Piero’s house?!” I say, bringing my phone as close to my face as I can, as if that’ll help me see better. There’s a loud shuffling noise on the other end of the line, and then I hear a gasp.
“Oh my god, you’re right!” Juliet says. “Rowan said they were going on holiday, but I thought he meant abroad or something.” I smile at that. Ever since our little jaunt to Kent last summer, Juliet and I have kept in touch with the boys. We even have a group chat now; us and them and even Bliss is in it. I’m so glad we stayed friends.
At first, Rowan was really quiet, and if he did speak he and Juliet would almost always end up arguing, but they’ve been getting along quite well lately. I’m not saying I ship it or anything, I’ve learnt my lesson there, but I have to say, fangirl-to enemies-to lovers would make a wicked fanfiction trope.
“Did you see any of this coming?” Juliet continues. “Surely Jimmy would have said something to you?”
“He said he was dating someone, but didn’t want to give details because they were taking things slow. Well, that and that celebrity phone hacking scandal freaked him right the fuck out, remember?” I say.
"That's
right, he stopped talking on the group chat for like two weeks, didn’t he?” Juliet giggles back. “Well, nevertheless, I’m happy for them. They’re cute together.”
“Yeah, they are.” I grin again. “Oh my god, poor Rowan though! I’d hate to live with a couple, especially a new one! It’d be nauseating.”
“Oh I know, right? And imagine what’ll happen when they have their first fight!” Juliet gasps again. I shudder at the thought.
“I’m muting the group chat when that happens.” I joke.
“Not a bad idea.” Juliet laughs back, then pauses. “Oh, Angel, I’m sorry I’ve got the get going, but do you want to skype later?”
“Yeah, no problem! I’ve got a revision session at 6, but I should be free by 9ish?”
“Sounds perfect! See you then!” Juliet says, and with that, she’s gone, and I’m back to sitting alone with my pizza.
Jimmy and Lister. Holy shit. I don’t think anyone in the fandom saw this coming. Everything has been about Jowan, since the fandom started growing it’s the only ship that ever existed. No one bothered writing fics about any other pairings. The only Jimmy/Lister fics I ever came across were platonic ones, and even they made sure to mention Jimmy’s boyfriend Rowan.
Oh god, I hope they’re okay. The fans got so crazy when Bliss and Rowan’s relationship was exposed. Jimmy/Lister is the final nail in the Jowan coffin. Jimmy must be having the panic attack of his life! I’ve got to-
My phone rings again.
I look down at the screen, and see Jimmy’s name. I take a deep breath, and answer.
“Jimmy, hi! How are-”
“Have you seen it??”
“Yes.”
“Oh god. This isn’t how we wanted to tell you guys.”
“You sure? Because getting caught by the national press worked so well for you last time.” I tease. Silence. Oops, probably not the best thing to remind him of right now.
“Jimmy, you still there?” I say carefully. There’s a slight rustle on his end, which means he probably just nodded. “Everything is going to be fine, I promise. The fans will move on. They already did with Jowan, right?”
“But what if something happens again? Something like-”
“It won’t. You guys have better security now, and you’re doing less public events. You’re going to be fine.” I hope and pray that I’m saying the right things. Jimmy and I have gotten close lately, but I’m nowhere near as good at helping him deal with his anxiety as Rowan and Lister are. There’s more silence, until finally, Jimmy speaks again.
“Okay. Yeah. Yeah I think you’re right. Thanks, Angel.”
“Course I’m right! If there’s one thing I know, it’s fandom drama.” Jimmy laughs, and I grin back. “And don’t forget, you’re not alone in this. This is happening to Lister too, and no doubt Rowan and Bliss will be there to help you. Just talk to them.”
“Thank you Angel, I’ll go do that now.”
“Perfect! Love you Jim, I’ll text you later.” I say, and the call ends.
He’ll be okay. He’s got too many people who love him not to be. I take another breath and put my phone down on the table. As soon as I do, however, it buzzes again, and I see Jimmy is trying to facetime me. Now very concerned, I answer it and hold the phone up so he can see my face properly.
“Jimmy, are you okay, what’s happened??” I ask anxiously, but he looks fine. He looks at me with a confused expression.
“Nothing, I’m just talking to the others, like you said.” He says. It’s only me and him on the call. I stare at him in silence for a moment.
“Jimmy, mate… I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not any of them” I say slowly, and to my surprise, Jimmy laughs.
“Yeah I know, but I was kind of hoping to have you here, too, if that’s okay?” He says sheepishly. “It’s okay if you’re busy, it’s just that… I don’t know, you’re good with this stuff and you make me feel calm? Sorry, I know that’s a lot to just dump on you.” Jimmy doesn’t look at me directly, and I start to feel tears in my eyes.
“Well damn, Jim, I guess if you truly love me that much, I can stick around for a bit.” I laugh, and quickly glance at the time. “My lunch break is only halfway over, anyway, so I have plenty of time to hang out while you talk to the others.”
Jimmy seems to let out a breath, like he’d been holding it, and grins.
Just as I’m about to start talking again, I hear a ping, and Lister’s face appears on screen, followed by Rowan and Bliss.
“Hey Jimjam, you okay?” Rowan asks, looking as calm as ever. “Oh hey Angel.” He adds. I give him an awkward smile.
“Wait, Angel's here?” Bliss interrupts before Jimmy can answer. “Nice, how’s the week from hell going? Didn’t think we’d hear from you until you’d made it through.”
“Yeah it’s rough, but I’m getting there. This is a welcome distraction though.” I grin at her.
“So you’ve seen the pictures then. They look good, right?” Lister chimes in, before correcting himself. “I mean, it’s horrible they found us, fucking pricks, but you’ve got to admit we look good.”
“You can be so self-centred sometimes.” Bliss laughs.
“Come on Lister, this isn’t a joke.” Rowan chides him.
“Well, I guess he isn’t wrong..” Jimmy mumbles nervously and I see him smile a bit.
“See, Jimmy agrees with me!” Lister argues back at Rowan, who rolls his eyes.
“It’s still not something to laugh about.” Rowan says firmly. “Cecily’s already on damage control, cancelling some events, beefing up the security at others, and giving the tabloids hell. She’s also let your grandad know, Jimmy.”
“Wait, aren’t you guys all down there already?” I ask, confused.
“Nah we got back last night. That picture was taken when we went out for lunch the other day. Took their time printing it.” Lister says.
“Probably needed time to pad out their articles. Seriously, how can they write so many pages about two people dating?” Bliss adds.
“Probably whining about how Jowan is now well and truly dead.” Rowan rolls his eyes again. “Although I have to say, I’m pretty happy about that part.” I cringe slightly as he says that. I will never not regret being one of the Jowan fangirls.
“So Cecily’s already got a plan? That’s good, that’s a bit of a relief.” Jimmy speaks up, looking visibly more relaxed than he had sounded over the phone earlier.
“Yeah she’s got it sorted, so we can start planning our Christmas party!” Lister says, making the others groan.
“Lister what the hell makes you think we should be throwing a massive fucking party right now?!” Rowan says, his voice growing louder. Lister goes quiet, looking like he wants to shrink into his seat, before eventually speaking up again.
“Look, it doesn’t have to be anything big, I just mean… Angel, you’re gonna be in London with Juliet, right? Come over, drag Bliss with you, Jimmy can invite his grandad, Rowan you can bring Jade, and there you go, that’s our party!”
“That’s...actually a good idea.” Rowan says, surprised.
“Yeah, that sounds like fun!” Jimmy adds.
“I’m up for it, Angel, do you think Juliet will wanna come?” Bliss says.
“Hell yeah she would, let’s do it!” I reply with a massive smile on my face. Partying with Bliss and the boys sounds like the best way to spend my Christmas London trip. I’ll make sure to tell Juliet about it when I talk to her later. As I start planning all the food I’m going to bring over, and wondering what the boys’ flat will look like at Christmas, the conversation starts up again.
“You sure you’re doing alright, Jimmy? I can come back home if you need me to.” Rowan says, focusing things on the issue at hand again.
“No no, don’t worry, stay with your family. They’d kill me if I made you miss out on spending time with them.” Jimmy jokes. “I’ve got Lister here, and Cecily’s number if I need it. My head isn’t giving me too much grief right now, anyway.”
“Wait, Lister, you’re there with him?” Bliss asks.
“Yeah, check it out!” Lister says, before picking up his phone and moving. He takes us out of what I think was his room, through a hallway and comes out into a large living room, where we can see Jimmy on a sofa looking at his phone. “Say hi to the chat, Jim!”
Everyone laughs as Jimmy gives an awkward wave to Lister’s phone. Lister then hangs up and launches himself into view of Jimmy’s screen, and the two shuffle about until they’re practically sitting on top of each other, faces
squished together so the tiny phone camera captures them both. I hate how cute they look together.
“Alright, if you’re sure, Jimmy,” Rowan says, smiling for probably the first time this whole call.
“Yeah, I’m sure.” Jimmy smiles back. “This whole situation is terrifying, and I’m more than ready to hide in my room and not see another mad fangirl for the rest of my life, but... if I did that we’d never get to hang out with Angel again.” He finishes, biting his lip as if unsure of whether or not the joke will hit.
“Uh..ouch!” I clap my hand on top of my heart dramatically and laugh, while the others join in. “I’ll have you know I’ve abandoned my fangirl ways. Mostly. Sort of. Okay, not completely but I’m not shipping real people anymore, so that’s something, right?!”
Lister is giving Jimmy a look of what I can only assume is pride for making a decent joke during a time of peak anxiety, Rowan has his head in his hands, probably contemplating his life choices now that Lister seems to be rubbing off on Jimmy, and Bliss still looks shocked that such a joke came out of Jimmy’s mouth, not Lister’s. When things calm down again, I check the time and speak up again.
“Well this has been fun Jim, but I’m afraid I have mad fangirl duties to be getting back to. Shrines to build, fanfiction to write, you know how it is.” I say sarcastically.
“Thanks again, Angel, for being here, and listening. And you’d better be right about that fandom drama.” Jimmy laughs again, although this time I see his smile falter a bit.
“Hey, look at me,” I say, moving as close to the screen as I can without squishing my face on it. “Things will settle down before you know it, in the meantime, we’re all here for you. You’re not alone in this.” Rowan and Bliss nod in agreement, and I see Lister hug Jimmy closer. Jimmy takes a breath and nods as well.
“Thanks Angel. And good luck with your exam. We’ll see you over the holidays.” He smiles.
“Yeah you got this Angel, go smash it!” Bliss chimes in, giving me a thumbs up and a grin. I say one last goodbye to them all, and hang up.
I look back down at my pizza, still uneaten. I need to stop letting myself get distracted during phone calls. I can eat and talk to my friends at the same time. I’m usually a master at it.
“Fereshteh!” I look up again. Either I’m going loony, or someone just said-
“FERESHTEH!” I turn around and see Mollie and Christina barrelling towards me, with the most excitement I’ve ever seen on a students’ face during exam season. They crash into my table and both start talking at once.
“Have you seen??”
“Did you know??”
“How long have they been together?!”
“Oh my god is this why you won’t tell us about what happened in Kent?!”
“Woah, easy on the interrogation! Seriously, you guys need to work on your interview skills.” I put my hands up in surrender and laugh. Mollie rolls her eyes at me.
“So? Did they tell you or what?” She asks again. I roll my eyes back at her.
“You know I don’t want to tell you guys anything about the boys. They trust me, and I’m not going to fuck that up because of some shit a tabloid prints.”
“How dare you appeal to our morality and ethics, we want gossip dammit!” Christina giggles, lightly banging her fist down on the table.
“Then stick to the Twitter pages.” I stick my tongue out at her. Mollie and Christina are two of my housemates, and are part of the Ark fandom. I never planned on telling them about Kent, but they figured out who I was thanks to the pictures of me and Jimmy on the train. I didn’t think you could tell it was me, but fangirls are like master detectives. They figured it out in less than a week. They haven’t told anyone though, they’re good mates.
“So how are you feeling about all of this? Whether you knew or not, having it out in the press like this is a lot to handle, especially after last time.” Mollie says, now in serious mode.
“It is a lot, definitely, but they’ll be fine. They’ve had this happen before and they know what to expect from the fans. I just wish I could be there for them.” I say, sitting back in my chair.
“I get
that, it must suck that you guys are so far apart now.” Christina chimes in.
“I mean it’s not like we ever lived close to each other before. The only reason we even crossed paths over the summer was because I was staying with a friend. But yeah, being away from them all is kind of hard sometimes.” I sigh dramatically, making Mollie and Christina grin.
“Are you going to visit them over Christmas?” Christina asks.
“I’m definitely going to visit my friend in London again, for a day or two, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to see the boys.” I quickly lie. “They cut back on public events but they’re still really busy most of the time. And this,” I gesture to my phone “definitely won’t help.”
“We’ll keep an eye on fandom updates for you, and try to shut any mentions of Jowan down,” Mollie says, reaching across the table and giving my hand a gentle squeeze. I squeeze hers back and give her a grateful smile. I mostly stopped interacting with the fandom after meeting the boys, reading fanfiction, and discussing theories with other fans just feels weird and creepy to do when the people you’re talking about are your friends. So it’s nice that I have Mollie and Christina looking out for them, and doing what I can’t. Christina has a pretty big following on Tumblr, and Mollie’s a Twitter ace, so I trust them to hold their ground with the fandom.
“Okay, you don’t have to give us any details, but genuinely, what do you think of Lister and Jimmy as a couple? Because I don’t think the fandom could handle a breakup.” Christina says after a while, making me laugh.
“Pfft, yeah I don’t think the boys could handle a breakup, either.” I smile. “But honestly? I think they’ll be good for each other. Lister is good at helping Jimmy relax and step out of his anxiety bubble, and Jimmy can help reign in Lister’s chaotic energy. Plus they’re freaking cute together, I mean just look at this picture!” I finish, gesturing dramatically to my phone again.
“They are so cute!” Mollie nods in agreement. “I’m actually shocked no one thought to ship them together before.”
“That’s the Jowan storm, for you,” Christina adds. “Can’t believe we ever shipped that.”
“So gross.” I shudder at the thought. Suddenly the alarm I’d set this morning went off, making us all jump.
“What’s that?” Mollie asks. I check the screen and practically leap out of my seat.
“Oh shit, my exam starts in 10 minutes!” I say, gathering my stuff up as quickly as I can. I say my goodbyes to Mollie and Christina and start running back across campus to the exam hall.
I make it just in time, much to the invigilator’s chagrin, check my bag in at the desk at the back of the hall, and collapse into my assigned seat. The exam starts, and it’s only when it does that my stomach reminds me that I never actually ate lunch. Shit.
I start to silently scold myself for being so stupid, when my mind starts drifting to the video chat with Jimmy and the others. He and Lister looked so comfortable with each other. Makes sense, they've known each other for so long. But even still, Jimmy looked so much happier once Lister sat down with him, and Lister himself practically seemed at home with Jimmy’s arms wrapped around him. I smile at my exam paper.
I’m so happy for them.

Warning: Angst (?), Violence-ish(?), marriage-business/toxic/abusive relationship, Boss!Megami x Killer!Kaga. If this isn't your type of one short with these two. Skip this one. Enjoy! :)
"You want me to kill them?"A 21 year old and 5 '5-foot male stood in front of his boss, who was known to be the CEO of Saikou Corporation; A company that was the wealthiest and most powerful Corp in Japan. Her name was Megami Saikou. She was the daughter of Ichirou Saikou and Tsuma Saikou. A very cold-hearted, obedient, and harsh woman.
"Do I have to repeat myself, Kusha?"Megami asked, keeping her back straight and staring down at the male,"I want you to kill them. I don't want anything that will make you weak. It's forbidden in the Saikou family. Our relationship is business. I'm not letting anyone get the best of you. You're a Saikou now. You don't need to focus on making friendships."
Kaga's eyes stared at his wife in front of him before trying to think of an excuse to spare their lives,"They have done nothing wrong to Saikou Corporation, or you. There is no reason to kill them. All they have done is focus on their work, improve technology, and make magnificent changes in science itself just like I do."
"The only reason why I put you in that university that Saikou funds is to send you to kill individuals I sign to you. Not to make friends. I sent you there to murder and blend into the crowd of students. The students know that you're a Saikou, so it's quite easy to get their trust and not get suspicious of you. With that little group you're with, I want them gone. They're making you weak, especially the one with the robotic ears you made for her."
Kaga slightly glared at the woman and shook his head,"I'm not harming them. I've learned to trust them and learned to care for them. They're my friends. They're like family to me."
"Friends? Family? They are not your friends or family, Kusha. They would easily throw you behind bars if they found out you're the reason why some of the students are missing. Those pests are nothing but a distraction for you. I want them gone."Megami glared. Kaga shook his head, protesting once again,"No. I'm not killing them off. They have done nothing wrong! They have a successful future ahead of them! I'm not ruining that for them for you! I don't care who I have to kill, but they won't get harmed even if you force me to kill them! I'm not doing it!"He raised his voice at her as rage filled through his veins.
Slap!
Megami's hand immediately met with Kaga's cheek, receiving a harsh slap. Kaga stumbled slightly from the force. With the stinging pain on his cheek, he looked at his wife. Megami glared at her husband with eyes filled with rage at him for raising his voice and disobeying her orders,"You're killing them, Kaga. Do you want me to punish you for disobeying me and raising your voice at me? I can simply get someone to torture you. I'm the CEO of Saikou Corporation, and I have the power to do anything to make you suffer. Do you want to be tortured?"
Kaga stared at her for a moment before glancing down at the floor, remaining quiet.
Megami smirked, " I'll take that as a no. Good answer. Now, go kill them off. Oh, don't forget to get rid of Mida Rana. I want her gone by the end of the week."
Kaga nodded.
First target: Yaku Zaishi.
Death: Acid.
Yaku poured some of the liquid that was in a flask to another little by little to see the chemical reaction. He was the only one in the science club at this hour. Meka, Homu, and Horo walked out of the clubroom to get some materials from the storage room from the floor below theirs. Each drop of the chemical that was poured, little by little, the chemical reaction was coming to play. Exclamation marks appeared on Yaku's visor. A smile formed on his lips, being happy about the chemical reaction. He placed the flasks down and wrote it down on his notes.
He placed his pencil down and grabbed the flask that had the new chemical reaction. He made his way towards the large vat of acid. He opened it and poured the liquid inside to see how it would react and a way to dispose of it. Yaku watched the liquid be poured onto the acid. A sad expression appeared on his visor, seeing that nothing happened,"Bummer."
During his moment of disappointment, a figure appeared behind him. Kaga adjusted his gloves that he wore to protect himself from the acid. He hesitated for a moment, staring at the back of Yaku's head. His hand reached out and grabbed his hair. Yaku gasped as his visor had exclamation marks,"Hey!"
Kaga immediately pushed his head down in the vat of acid. Yaku's hands gripped onto the sides of the vat, trying his best to push himself back,"Stop!"Yaku screamed out as he panicked while his face got closer and closer to the acid,"Stop!! Help!!"He cried out.
Yaku continued to struggle against Kaga. He turned his head to see who was doing this to him. His mouth dropped with shock, but felt betrayed and hurt seeing one of his closest friends doing this to him,"Kaga! What are you doing?! Let me go!"
Kaga ignored him, focusing on his objective. Yaku groaned, trying to find some of his strength to push back from the acid. He eventually pushed away from the acid with force, causing his visor to come loose and fall on the ground. Kaga dug into his pocket and pulled out a taser. He pressed it against Yaku's side and immediately tased him. Yaku gasped in pain, feeling his side be paralyzed for a few seconds before being pushed down again to the acid,"Kaga!! Stop it!! What are you doing this?! Please!!"He cried out as his eyes watered with fear, not wanting to be killed.
Kaga pushed his head further,"I'm sorry."He whispered with a voice crack. Yaku's eyes widened at the apology before screaming once his face hit the acid. The scream muffed and immediately stopped in seconds once the acid completed dissolved his face before dissolving the rest of his head. Kaga lifted the body of Yaku and put it inside the acid. The body immediately got dissolved by it. Kaga's hands grabbed the lid and closed it. He crouched down and grabbed the visor from the floor. His eyes stared at it with a hint of sadness and regret.
I'm sorry, Yaku.
Next target: Horo Guramu.
Death: Strangulation.
Horo was on one knee, searching through the boxes the second floor storage had. His eyes wandered to find any parts that would be useful to him. With the music coming from the light music club, he was having a hard time focusing and a hard time hearing as well. Without his knowledge, the door of the storage room opened and closed.
Kaga walked up behind Horo as he held onto a measuring tape he got from the sewing room. Horo blinked once he spotted a shadow of someone standing behind him. Before he could turn his head, he gasped when the measuring tape was wrapped around his neck and tightened around his neck. Kaga pulled him back when Horo tried fighting back against him. Horo gasped for air as his mindset went into panic mode. Horo fell on his ass as the strangulation proceeded. Finally, Horo's eyes widened when he saw Kaga, who was the one choking him to death,"K...Ka...ga..."He gasped out.
Kaga stared at him with a blank expression.
Horo stared at Kaga with shock and betrayal just like Yaku did," W....why?"He managed to gasp out.
"I'm sorry."
As soon as the two words escaped Kaga's mouth, Horo's body became limp. Kaga kept the measuring tape tightened around his neck for a few more seconds before unwrapping it. He laid down the body of Horo on the ground. Kaga stood there, staring down the dead body of Horo with the same hint of sadness and regret.
I'm sorry, Horo.
Next target: Meka Nikaru.
Death: Attacking.
Meka stepped onto the science club to see it empty, "That's weird. Yaku is always here doing his experiments. He's not here."She made her way to her machine that was on the ground. She placed the materials she was able to find to finish her robot on the table that Yaku used for his chemicals,"He's probably at the infirmary again."Meka mumbled before starting to work on her machine. There was a moment of silence that Meka enjoyed, but was interrupted when Kaga walked inside the science club.
Meka glanced over and watched him closed the double doors he entered from,"Morning."
Kaga made his way towards her,"Morning."
Meka watched with a blank expression,"Have you seen Yaku? He was here a few minutes ago. You're always here in the science club. Did he go to the infirmary again?"
"Yeah. He burnt his hands again with the new experiment he was doing."Kaga lied, watching Meka continued her work on her machine,"Of course he did. How about Horo? He should have been back by now if my calculations are correct."
"Maybe he stayed a little longer in the storage room to find more materials. You know, he's always so serious about his work like the rest of us."
"That's true."
Kaga stared at Meka while holding onto a knife in his hand that was hidden in his pocket of his lab coat. Kaga quietly walked up behind Meka and stood there with hesitation, gripping onto the handle of the knife,"Hey Meka?"
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry."
Before Meka could react, Kaga's hand covered her mouth and buried the knife into her skull, immediately killing her. Meka's body fell on the ground as the blood poured out from her skull, creating a pool of blood underneath her. Kaga's eyes stared at the body with sadness and regret like the rest of his club members.
I'm sorry, Meka. I'm really sorry.
Final target: Homu Kurusu
Death: Pushing off Roof.
Homu stood behind the railing, waiting for the person who wanted to talk to her and left the note in her locker. She wasn't so sure who it would be, or this was an idiotic prank from one of the bullies, but she wasn't planning to stay too long. She needed to finish that robot in the science club room. She stood there for about 5 minutes,"What a waste."She muttered. She turned around to only stop herself from leaving when Kaga was standing behind her.
"Oh. Hello, Kaga. Were you the one who left that note in my locker?"Homu questioned.
Kaga nodded, not saying a word.
Homu blankly stared at him,"Why? We could have easily talked in the science club. This was a waste of time you know."
"I apologize for that, but I didn't have much of a choice."
"Hm? What do you mean by that?"
Kaga reached out to her and grabbed the collar of her club uniform. He pushed her towards the railing. Homu's eyes widened, feeling herself at the edge of falling over the railing. She grabbed onto Kaga's sleeves,"Kaga, what are you doing?"She asked, staring at her friend.
"I don't have a choice, Homu."
"Did Megami tell you to do this?"
Kaga nodded.
"Kaga, please, don't do this."She begged,"Please!"She cried out when Kaga's grip loosened.
"I'm sorry."Kaga apologized to her, staring at his friend. The one who he was the closest to. Homu stared at Kaga with begging eyes, not wanting him to let go of her,"Please...!?"
Kaga hesitated for a moment. He slowly pulled Homu towards him, getting her off the railing. He wrapped his arms around her, giving her a warm embrace. Homu watched as her body trembling from the event that happened seconds ago. She returned the hug tightly, burying her face onto his shoulder. Kaga tightened the embrace, trying to enjoy the seconds or minutes that were left. Once the hug broke, Kaga grabbed onto her arms and pushed her over the railing. A scream was heard coming from Homu, and a crack sound came after when her body hit the ground.
Kaga looked over the railing and stared at the dead body of Homu. His eyes crowded up with tears.
I'm sorry, Homu. I'm really sorry. I didn't have much of a choice.
"See? How hard was that?"Megami smirked, standing in front of her husband,"I'm proud of you. All you need to do is get rid of Mida Rana. Make sure she suffers the most painful death. I have many more targets for you to kill, especially one that I really want gone."
Kaga didn't say word but just kept looking down at the ground with no reaction.
"Her name is Ayano Aishi. I'm sure you'll find a creative way to kill her off, dear."Megami stepped closer to Kaga and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him onto her chest,"With this, I hope you don't waste your time on anyone else who isn't the person I sign to you to kill."
"I won't..."Kaga muttered, glancing up at his wife. Megami flashed him a satisfied smile,"Good."She leaned in and pressed her lips against her husband's, giving a tender kiss as a reward. Kaga blankly stared at her and closed his eyes, returning the kiss.
Once the kiss broke, Kaga rested his head on Megami's shoulder, staring down at the ground. His eyes immediately crowded up with tears, remembering the looks of betrayal and the dead bodies of his friends - or well, family.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know this isn't a lot Kaga x Megami, but it's just an idea that I had :D yes, I have a headcanon of the Science club being close like family cuz why not. They're literally the only ones who understand each other in the entire school. Also because it's a cute little thought of them being a little family.

Nobara bangs open the door with a murderous expression on her face, startling him. “You.” She grits out.

“I’m going to kill you!” She cries out, and without elaboration dives straight for him.

BUT I KEPT GOING, that motivation pushing me through and heck! would u imagine! I just about managed to finish & post before the day ended!!! it was stressful but honestly best fun I had. the high stakes were fun, and it was so rewarding when I finished!!! love this one lots as well the banter & their dynamic were so so fun to write god I love them.

jimmy kaga-ricci - part two (part one)
small things (ben howard)
"has the world gone mad/or is it me?/all these small things, they gather round me/gather round me"
jimmy's mood and awareness of his own poor mental health gets steadily more intense over i was born for this. it's overwhelming for him, and he feels quite alone in dealing with it
wake up, sunshine (all time low)
"alive in the age of outrage and outrageous behavior, they say it's a calling/are you living well in a living hell?/so smile for the cameras and say that your life/ain't as tame as the ones you're shit talking"
this is part of the crisis jimmy is facing, balancing his true self with what he shares with the public. the title is a parallel to the first line of the first jimmy chapter is "wake up, jimjam", which is fitting since jimmy spends a lot of his time spaced out, but also:
"wake up, sunshine/somebody loves you for yourself"
a neat little lyric for bicci, since jimmy hadn't seriously considered lister an option until he was already kissing him and realised that he really liked the idea of getting with someone who knows him as well as lister does
liability, reprise (lorde)
"but you're not what you thought you were" - sad jimmy struggles with authenticity bass boosted ×100
a world alone (lorde)
another lorde songgg this one's about the disconnect jimmy feels to the people around him
obsessions (marina)
"look, look, just choose something quick/people are staring, time ticker-quicking, skin is on fire/just choose something, something, something/pressure overwhelming/next minute, i am turning out of the door/facing one week without food"
this one's about how when you're in a bad place mentally, even small decisions feel monumental - and for jimmy, sometimes, they are monumental because he's in the public eye. also, this song starts and ends with the same lyric, which makes this whole thing feel like a cycle, and it very much is like the day-to-day cycle of jimmy's life
idle worship (paramore)
"standing here like i'm supposed to say something/don't hold your breath, i never said i'd save you, honey/.../if i was you, i'd run from me or rip me open/you'll see you're not the only one who's hopeless/be sure to put your faith in something more/.../we all got problems, don't we? we all need heroes, don't we?/but rest assured, there's not a single person here who's worthy"
very much a jimmyangel song, but can also apply to jimmy's feelings about his fans generally
i like america & america likes me (the 1975)
absolute chaos. feels like a series of tour nights where you travel a thousand miles every day and you're spaced out for the entire time. it’s just a mesh of concern for and detachment from the real world and the real people in it. it’s perfect, like - even the title sounds like the mantra jimmy thinks about his fans: “they love us, and we love them, and we are so grateful”
fresh laundry (allie x)
"i want to be near fresh laundry/it's been too many years of not folding"
it's difficult to put into words how this applies to jimmy but i'll try my best - it's about jimmy being on tour, unable to spend good time working on his mental health with his new therapist, and just generally being detached from the familiar things he loves and takes comfort in (piero, his childhood home, his friendship with rowan and lister). the 'fresh laundry' is the familiar, necessary thing and the 'not folding' is jimmy neglecting to spend enough time on those things
"you said you're always on my side/but what if my side has changed too much?/then tell me, who am i?"
jimmyrowan. jimmy knows he can count on rowan, but he still has a lot of trouble asking for help, and the longer he puts it off the more the distance between the two of them grows
the outsider (marina)
this song really has the vibe of being under so much stress (externally and internally) that at any moment you might snap and do something reckless. it's especially relevant to jimmy because it's also about people feeling like they know you and the profound disconnect you feel from others because of that
ashley (halsey)
first of three songs taken from @georgiaswarr's jimmy playlist
"standing now, in the mirror that i built myself/and i can't remember why the decision wasn't mine/but it seems i'm only clinging to an idea now/took my heart and sold it out to a vision that i wrote myself/and i don't wanna be somebody in america just fighting the hysteria/i only wanna die some days"
jimmy feeling trapped in his life and growing to dread the idea that it's just going to build in pressure
beautiful faces (declan mckenna)
2/3 this one's about the disconnect jimmy feels to the people around him, because he sees so many people every day, most of whom know who he is. but it's also a very sexy song, for the few moments jimmy gets where he feels on top of the world and "born for this"
some nights (fun.)
3/3
"well, some nights, i wish that this all would end/'cause i could use some friends for a change/.../but i still wake up, i still see your ghost/oh lord, i'm still not sure what i stand for, oh/what do i stand for?/what do i stand for?/most nights, i don't know"
jimmy's struggle with authenticity, his impulse to just disappear from the public eye, and also just a bunch of happy-sad nostalgia. it's a good one to cry to while thinking about jimmy
townie (mitski)
jimmy's want to be with someone, but a bit more fun. it's like a "absolutely ridiculous that there's no one here to kiss me right now" song. yearning, but in a sexy way, y'know?
caught in the middle (paramore)
"nostalgia's cool, but it won't help you now/a dream is good, if you don't wear it out"
i'm an absolute broken record by this point, but jimmy is almost always spaced out and he only feels in the moment when he's performing, until eventually even that doesn't work for him anymore
be (hozier)
if there were ever a song for jimmy grounding himself by saying “i am not afraid, i was born for this” this would be it!!

Switching Sides: Part 10 (HLITF)
if anyone possibly wants to get on a tag list I’d be happy to make one
👉 @theshove 👈
If you wanna catch up, Part 9 is right here! Happy reading :)
Premise: Growing up in a life of crime in a Japanese mafia, Atsuko Motomori has seen enough injustice to last her a lifetime. To try and give back to the universe her family has taken so much from, she dreams of being a detective from a young age. Her twin, sharing her disgust for her father and many uncles, just wants an ordinary life away from the crime, paing and suffering. Instead, she wants to be in the spotlight with the soft notes she makes with her cello. In their escape of 2015, on their coming of age birthday, they must split ways, never to be together ever again. If one was found, they didn’t want the other dragged down with them. Atsuko, having changed her name and appearance as best she can without a scalpel, sets off to start her life of car chases and arrests.
Four years in a seemingly dead-end police station in the middle of nowhere, being passed over time after time for promotion, Atsuko finally gets a shot at her dream, having been sent to an academy for the best candidates in the country by her boss who had always kept an eye out for her. After discovering her boss may have made her bite off more than she could chew, Atsuko must become the slave of a dominating instructor!? Who so just happens to be the captain of the most famous police unit in Japan? Not to mention a total knockout! Will Atsuko finally achieve her dream? Or will her new instructor put her through the wringer?
Warnings: Language, Reference to sexual activity, Forceful nature.
~~~~~~
Several weeks had passed since I'd retaken my birth name. By then, I had dyed my hair a greyish white. Flashy, I know, but I needed something completely different from the black it was before so that I could be less recognisable. I managed to get a job at a bar as an indoor bouncer. It basically means I acted as a club-goer, surveying the floor for anything illegal going on, and escorted people out when I did catch something. The club was owned by a friend of Kanto's and he pretty much got me the job. I also worked mornings at a rock-climbing centre as an instructor of sorts. Having never really done it before, I mainly just watched over climbers and could go up to talk first-timers down if they got too scared. 
The collective jobs helped me keep up with my share of the rent, even though Juna didn't want me to pay it. Although, I would have been mortified if I stayed at my sister's apartment for free when she was starting to invest in her baby furniture. 
Because I worked most nights and most mornings, I mainly slept for a few hours in the afternoon. It was definitely a culture shock from the strict regiment the academy had us on that made us get up early in the morning and worked us into the night. Luckily, I had been able to keep up my own daily exercise.
Today was the day I decided to try and get the evidence of my father's crimes to someone in the Public Safety Division. My runs took me to the station where I tried to gather someone's daily lunchtime routine. It seemed, being the youngest, Shinonome was sent out to get coffee for the team. Which, honestly, surprised me. ‘I never expected him to serve anyone, but I guess if you're technically the rookie...’
"Juna! I'm leaving now!" I shouted from the entrance, slipping on my trainers. Soon, I heard my twin waddling toward me and I looked up. 
"Why do you always leave me alone in the afternoon?" Her eyes were full of tears due to the severe mood swings she'd been getting lately. She had gotten... pretty big over the last few weeks, which did make me nervous. If she had twins, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep living there. 
"I won't be gone long, you don't have to worry." I stepped forward with a calm smile, hugging her as my irritation skyrocketed. It felt like all she had been doing lately was cry. Kanto was at his orchestra practice in the afternoons, so I would be leaving her in her lonesome. 
"I'm handing in the evidence today. Wish me luck!" I pulled back, holding her shoulders and rubbing them to try and put her at ease. She pouted but said the words to bid me luck and I left, running in the direction of the Police Station. 
With my baseball cap on, too cloudy to be wearing sunglasses inconspicuously, I jogged along with the thick envelope rattling in my jacket pocket. It was good that I didn't have any fingerprints, it made sliding something into a detective's pocket much easier, seeing as I didn't need to worry about being identified by prints. 
Taking this time to recollect on the past month I'd been living my new life with my sister and her boyfriend, a small sigh escaped my mouth; and it wasn’t because of the panting caused by my exercise. Luckily, they didn't make me feel like a third wheel- I felt like one of the family- but my life was so boring compared to what it once was. At least the first time I started my life over, I had the excitement of living a normal life for the first time. 
However, like the novelty had worn off, I found my current life... dull. I spent my nights watching couples drunkenly make out, catching shady drug deals in the club bathroom, and stopping creeps from taking girls home without their consent. Sure, it was the same petty crimes I had been dealing with before the academy, but since I was invited to play with the big guys, I grew a taste for debunking major organisations and corrupt politicians. It felt like I was really making a difference in the world when I worked with Kaga. 
That was another thing I couldn't stop thinking about. I missed the constant complaining of my intelligence and how easy I was able to bounce back from his insults. I felt like we left things sour after I had ruined their case and essentially let Takada run free for a little longer than he should have. Because I had caused so much trouble for him in the end, I wondered if he had actually felt anything when he found out I didn't come out of that hotel. Did he care that I was dead? Was he sad? Regretful? I knew that when I believed he had died, I was heartbroken. But, maybe that was the respect I felt towards such a competent detective, and not for any underlying emotions I felt to the man I had grown to somewhat understand?
Turning the corner to the busy city street, I peered up at the massive building across the road. It was cloudy: autumn turning to winter, some stores even had Christmas decorations, and a slightly chilled breeze blew through the air. Lots of people wore masks to shield their faces from the city air and the cold that tried to nip at their nose. 
Taking a quick deep breath to calm my racing heart, I continued to cross the street, waiting near the Station's entrance for the youngest detective to ever make it into the Public Safety Division. 
Minutes passed and I worried today might be one of the days Shinonome was at the academy or out on a mission. I looked down at my watch as the seconds ticked by, hoping he would emerge soon. 
When I looked up again, I froze at what I saw. Materialising from the doors of the Police Department was Captain Hyogo Kaga. 
Quickly, I diverted my gaze, worried he would be able to sense my surprise. Hopefully, the rim of my cap would block my most noticeable features. 
‘Snap out of it, Katsumi. You don't need to be worrying about that now.’ I sighed to myself, shaking my nerves out of my head and stepping forward to intercept the detective as he walked in my direction. 
"'Cuse me," I muttered as I bumped into him, slipping the thick beige letter out of my pocket and into his suit one. I kept my gaze down and quickly moved on, not wanting to give him a chance to shout at me. 
Escaping around the corner of the building, I took in a deep breath that I didn't realise I was holding in. ‘I did it. It's all in their hands now.’
Trying to calm my racing heart, I allowed myself to take a peek around the corner to see if he had noticed what I had delivered to him. In the middle of the pathway, Detective Kaga looked at the object in his hand, having taken it out of his inner pocket. I cringed slightly; I had hoped to have a little more time to get away before he realised. 
‘At least he has it. Hopefully, he'll take it seriously.’ Biting the tip of my thumb, I continued down the alleyway between the station and the next building, disappearing before Kaga could think to follow me. 
~~~~~~
That night, I'm sitting at the bar of the club I worked at, a glass of water in my hand as I let my gaze fall around the room. 
"Tonight seems pretty quiet. You haven't moved from that seat since you got here." The bartender, who I had grown to befriend, laughed from across the counter. 
"Noburu, don't say that word! Do you know how unlucky that is?" I instantly freaked out, standing up on the foot rest of the minimalist stool to get my urgent point across. 
"What word..? Quiet?" He leaned in to whisper it to me and I hastily covered his mouth. 
"You'll jinx me!" I frowned, not wanting to have to get up much tonight. It being the middle of the week, the room was pretty calm, but I wasn't going to ignore superstition. 
"You're so cute when you pout, Katsumi." Once I had uncovered the man's mouth, he pressed a finger into my cheek and I scowled at him. Even though my white hair was in pigtails, something Juna had been obsessing over at the time, I didn't appreciate that compliment. 
"I'm a grown woman!" I narrowed my eyes at him before turning back to the room behind me.
~~~~~~
Later on in the evening, the door to the club opened again and I glanced at the new entrants... 
‘This can't be happening.’ My mouth opened agape when I saw three of the special instructor's enter the club in suits like they had just come from the office. 
"I told you you would jinx me," I muttered under my breath, blaming my friend for the detectives being here. Luckily, he was at the other end of the bar taking orders from a group of bachelorette party girls. 
‘Okay, hopefully, they won't recognise me as the name I came up with? What was it again?’ I quizzed my memory, trying to think back to a month ago. 
Trying to calm my racing heart by taking a long, deep breath, my gaze fell to the other end of the bar. I noticed a man, standing suspiciously close to one of the party-goers. His back was to me, but I could see his hand reach for one of the women's drinks and drop something into it when he thought no one was looking. I sighed, hopping off my stool and walking up to him before he could move away from the scene. 
"Please come with me, sir." I smiled so he wouldn't panic, but didn't ease the grip I had on his arm that was thicker than I could wrap around. 
"Sorry, I'm not looking for a hookup tonight." He smirked down at me and I felt myself gag slightly. 
"I need you to come with me, sir." I moved my other hand to the drink left on the counter and placed it on Noburu's side so someone didn't drink it while I was trying to deal with this creep. 
"I said no." He frowned, trying to yank his arm out of my grip. 
Quickly, I grabbed the back of his neck and slammed his face into the counter while holding his arm behind his back, taking him by surprise while the thudding noise drew minimal attention.
"I just watched you try and drug that girl. So, if you want me to call the cops, I dare you to fight back." I whispered into his ear. Luckily, the music was too distracting and loud for our customers to realise. It was only Noburu looking at us from the corner of his eye. I watched the predator's face turn worried and he shook his head. 
"Great, come with me then." I smiled, pulling him up by the neck, and guiding him towards the door. 
"Noburu, can you get that girl another drink? I'll pay." Not wanting to ruin their night, I called out to my friend as we walked through the door. My boss paid me to be as discreet as possible. I would get paid extra if I caught a crime before we needed to call the police.
~~~~~~
After throwing the man on the dirty street and warning him to never come back to this club, I reentered the room. 
"Another creep?" Noburu leaned over the counter to talk in a low tone. I nodded, retaking my seat and ordering another water. Although, it wasn’t like I had to pay for it.
"I don't see how it can be so easy to buy that stuff?" My bartending friend frowned, pouring my drink and placing it on a napkin. 
"Depends. Some stuff is prescription medicine. I think the ingredients for others can be easily bought and then made into drugs?" I thought back to when I found my father's organisation and all the illegal substances they were able to mass distribute. 
Suddenly, a man stood beside me at the bar, ordering drinks for three people. My eyes widened when I heard the voice, recognising it anywhere. We sat in silence while the bartender fixed his drinks. 
"That was a pretty smooth takedown. Looks like you've done it a few times." Suddenly, Lieutenant Ayumu Shinonome started conversing with me, leaning on the counter as he looked right in my eyes. I gulped my water, praying he hadn't noticed me and continued looking at the array of bottles on the back wall. 
"It's my job, so I get pretty good at it." Sounding a little more sarcastic than seemed polite, I questioned why I was being so rude. I would never have spoken to any of the instructors like this in the academy. 
‘Well... I guess I'm not in the academy anymore.’ I could feel myself becoming more depressed as I thought back to my old life, looking down at the contents of my glass. 
"What do you do for a living?" Not sensing my negative emotions, the detective kept talking. Well, he probably did, but didn’t care.
"I'm a bouncer. Like a bar cop, am I right?" I laughed self-depressingly as I took another sip of my non-alcoholic drink. I didn't drink much, I didn't like it and I didn't have time for it, but even this felt depressing, drinking water when everyone else was getting off their heads drunk. "Nothing to your cases, though, I'm sure."
"How do you..?" 
"There's a type." I suddenly cut him off bluntly, embarrassed I had started a conversation when I was meant to be under the radar. 
‘You're not meant to know who he is, Katsu. Don't get comfortable just because you know this place.’ Clutching the glass with both hands now, I ended the conversation with a dismissive sigh, not wanting him to have an excuse to keep talking to me when Noburu finished making his drinks. 
Which seemed to be taking much longer than he usually did. I looked down the length of the counter to find the bachelorette party had called him away again. As I peered, Ayumu being in that direction, I tried to look down at his body as inconspicuously as possible. I wanted to know if he was wearing a badge. Which he wasn't.
‘Are they on a case? This is a nice neighbourhood, there isn't a lot of major crime here. Unless they've set up a meeting?’ My brows furrowed as I thought of a reason for them to be here. The club itself wasn't anywhere near the station or the academy, I made sure of it when I took the job. 
"Sorry about that, man..." Noburu came running back, but led off when he realised the intensity between us. I‘m sure it was either because I dismissed him as a woman or he distrusted me. When Shinonome asked for the drinks again, the silence was almost suffocating. I was pulled out of my thoughts when he finally left and turned back to the room to do a quick sweep of anyone suspicious. 
"Hey, Noburu. How long has that guy been here for?" Standing on the foot stand of my stool again, I leant over the counter to keep our conversation private. Following where I had gestured with my head, Noburu found the suspicious man I had been watching for most of the night. He had been here since opening, circling the floor like he was looking for a target. He seemed a little on-edge to me, but I wanted to make sure before I acted on anything. Truthfully, I just wanted to get away from talking about the confrontation he had just walked into. I knew he would ask, that's how Noburu was. Pried because he cared.
"Anyone wearing a hat indoors is suspicious." The bartender laughed as he started shining some glasses. "Make a move on him. If he's here for anything else, he'll turn you down." Resting on his crossed arms in front of me, he got very close to my face as we talked. I was a little stunned by the sudden close proximity. 
Working at a bar, Noburu was good at flirting with our female customers to keep them drinking. He was good looking and funny. It made for an easy friendship to bloom. But, having his face so close to mine, I blushed and quickly leaned back. 
"I-I'll go do that then," Noburu smirked at my fluster, resting his chin on his hand as I moved towards the dance floor.
Working somewhat undercover, I was wearing a rather short, tight dress, as asked by my boss as a form of uniform. At first, it was embarrassing to wear something that cupped my body so much, but now I was somewhat comfortable with it. I'm just glad I had a good physique. 
Also, since working here, I had to get good at sweet-talking people. Mostly drunks that were more than happy to follow anyone, but I had my fair share of flirty conversations to try and get people out of the club. Fortunately, I was a fast learner.
Approaching the man with the hat, I smiled. 
"Hey, you wanna dance with me?" I put my hand on his chest and grabbed his hand with my other, trying to get him to feel like he couldn't say no. 
"I-I'm meeting someone." I peered up at his young face, previously hidden by the brim of his cap, and noticed a slight blush on his cheeks. 
"Aw, come on! I've been watching you all evening and you haven't talked to anyone! It doesn't have to be a long dance?" I pulled on his hand to bring him to the dance floor. Maybe he was just waiting for a girl, which would explain his hesitance. But... Something was off about him, and it wasn't just the hat. 
Luckily, he followed me and we started moving our bodies close together. 
"So, are you gonna tell me your name?" I shout near his ear due to the volume of the music. He bit his lip but told me anyway. 
"Are you the one I'm meant to meet?" Suddenly, he put his hands on my hips, whispering in my ear. As his gaze wasn't on me, I let my eyes slightly widen.
‘Is this the guy they're meeting?’
"Did a psychic tell you to meet a girl here tonight?" I laughed back, playing dumb to see if he freaked out. He ripped his hands from my body, face flushed as he stared at me. 
"I don't mind the pickup line, but you don't have to be so embarrassed." Knowing he was going to scurry off out of embarrassment or fear of not meeting the person he was here to see, I tried to lighten the atmosphere. Panicking, he quickly excused himself and I watched him leave the club completely. Frowning my brows, I returned to the bar, reporting to Noburu what I had just seen.
~~~~~~
At the end of the night, which was the morning, I'm helping Noburu clean up the bar.
"Hey, are you doing alright? You seemed kind of on edge when that guy ordered. The one that stood next to you?" Noburu called from the other side of the room as I wiped down a table. I froze for a moment, not realising I had been that obviously affronted, and thought about how to respond. 
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine! It's just not usually the guys that come up to me." I laughed off my unease by making a self-deprecating joke and returned to the bar, where my handbag laid. 
"I can't imagine that's true. Look at you." He smirked down at my body and I tried my hardest to hide my blush. 
"Oh, would you look at the time! I've gotta get going." I grabbed my bag as he approached me, getting nervous about the teasing that I knew was to come. He would usually offer a flirty comment as we cleaned up together, it was probably the only way he could talk to women. I should have been used to it by that point, but I still got flustered. 
As he followed me out of the building, I waved my goodbye. 
"Hold on!" He called back after locking the doors. I turned around to find him scrambling to get the keys in his pocket and I laughed at how eager he was. "How about we meet up outside of work sometime? I can buy you breakfast?" His request threw me off a little, I wasn't used to making friends this quickly, or being asked out to eat with a dude.
"I-I have a job I have to get to in the morning. I'm always free for lunch though!" At the chance of having someone to hang out with other than third-wheeling my sister, I smiled brightly. He chuckled at my reaction. 
"Great. Can I pick you up today?" He put his hand on the back of his neck as he asked. He almost seemed... nervous? 
"S-Sure. I would like that." I also grew shy as our conversation grew to a close. 
Suddenly, he moved towards me and planted a kiss on my cheek. 
"You should probably get going." He raised a teasing eyebrow at my childish, extremely bashful reaction and I jumped to attention. 
"R-Right! I'll see you later! I'll text you the address!" Having gotten his number in the first few days I started working at the club, I ran in the opposite direction of the club and towards the rock climbing establishment I worked at in the mornings. I was so excited, I didn't notice the car full of men parked across the road from us. 
~~~~~~
My shift was short, thanks to my lightened heart and the busy work of teaching people how to put on their harnesses. I didn't have to actually climb much, thankfully, because I wasn't so fond of getting sweaty before my... meeting?
As I changed out of my gym wear, a female coworker announced that my sister was at the front desk. 
‘Oh, she did not come for lunch!’ I cried to myself, annoyed I would probably have to pass on my date for a pregnant woman. I changed quickly so that I could encourage her to leave before Noburu got here and was shocked by what I heard before I turned the corner to the reception. 
"How dare you talk of her that way?" My sister shrieked at the top of her lungs, rage making her voice sound rougher than usual.
"It's not my fault she made a moronic mistake," Kaga responded spitefully. Juna was screaming at my ex-instructor. 
"She saved your life and that's how you treat her? You should be ashamed to call yourself a detective!" I wouldn't have been surprised if Juna started attacking the man. Soon I heard Soma trying to calm her down, but it didn't help much. 
"Oh, Katsumi! These men are here to see you." The receptionist who had witnessed the whole affair spotted me hiding behind the wall and hurriedly encouraged me over and I sneered when she made me apparent. The memory of biting Shinonome's head off floated through my mind and I prayed he didn't tell the two detectives that hadn't been in the club last night.
I sighed and walked around to see my sister standing in front of two of my old instructors. Soma's eyes went wide as his gaze passed between me and my sister. I bit my lip, wondering why they were standing in front of me in that moment, hoping they didn't approach Juna like they had met. Because, technically, they had. Well, they've met the woman that held her legal name, Mikara Harada- which wasn't Kento's last name so I didn't know why he insisted on acting like we were married. I wasn't even sure if she knew their faces or names. 
"Can I help you, gentleman?" Trying to act unaware, I approached them, letting my gaze drop to see if they had their badges on. This time, the Public Safety Detectives did. 
"We'd like to take you in for questioning," Kaga explained sharply and Juna was about to retort. ‘What are they thinking?’
"Mikara, go take a seat. You don't want to mess up the baby." I pat her shoulder and showed her a smile even though I was freaking out on the inside, ensuring she heard me use her fake name so she understood the situation. I gestured to the seating area and spotted an open newspaper with the story of the hotel bombing inside. From what I could assume, she was probably talking to the receptionist when the detectives arrived. Kaga probably mentioned how stupid I was to go in after him and Juna blew a fuze. 
Reluctantly, Juna went to sit down. 
"Please, come with us." Soma smiled, placing a hand on my back to guide me out of the building. 
"Why can't we do it here?" I panicked, not wanting to be brought in for questioning by PSD Detectives. There was no way they could track me from the security cameras at the station. Had I thwarted their investigation last night and now they were trying to get back at me? 
"Would you rather get arrested for impeding an investigation?" Kaga pulled out his handcuffs and my eyes grew wide. 
"No! No, thank you. I'll come with you." Allowing myself to be guided to their car, I threw my sister a look to say I would be fine- her face screwed up in worry and confusion. 
~~~~~~
After being placed into the back of their car and escorted to the questioning booths in the station, my hands were beyond clammy. My gaze darted around the silent room, having been left alone, probably just to intimidate me. They had taken my bag to search through it, which had my clothes from last night and my gym clothes. It didn't take me long to get impatient. 
Suddenly, the door burst open and I saw Kaga come in. I sat up, trying to look eager to answer any questions they had. I didn't want to seem suspicious. 
"Katsumi Hoshino." He sat across from me and I nodded, too afraid to stumble over my words. They had either seen the passport in my bag or had called my employer. Because I didn't have a driver's licence, my passport was the only way I could be identified. I brought it with me everywhere in case something happened to me. The last time I was stuck in an interrogation room with the Captain flashed through my mind and I tried not to blush. 
"I want to apologise for my friend. She can get a little too righteous sometimes." I flashed a smile, but he didn't seem impressed at all. It would be way too strange that we were triplets with the same face. I just hoped her makeup made it seem like there was some sort of differentiation in our features. Hopefully Kaga would buy that we were friends.
We sat in silence for a little longer. 
"Can I get some water?" Feeling my throat dry up, I tried to get him out of the room. He was making me so nervous with the way he was evaluating me with his gaze, I thought I was back in the academy. 
At my question, the captain got up and walked around the table. Before I could react, he pushed the back of my chair against the wall so the two front legs were in the air. I yelp in surprise as he closed the distance between us. I gulped, not wanting to say anything more in case it was incriminating. 
"You have something of mine." His finger hooked the neck of my shirt, but his gaze was too piercing to look away from. I showed him a confused expression to show I had no idea what he was talking about. 
"You work at that club. You met that man. And he gave you something that belongs to me." His voice was low so that only I could hear it. I forced myself not to sigh in relief when I discovered I wasn’t here for alternative reasons. 
"I-I thought you looked familiar." I smiled despite myself and he frowned. "U-Um, well, the guy left before I could find out why he was there. I thought he was suspicious, but he bolted the second I approached him." I explained in a whisper, worrying about the distance between us and my suspended chair. If he relaxed his grip in any way, I would go flying into his face. 
Suddenly, his other hand reached around my body and crawled up under my top to the clasp of my bra. 
"H-Hang on! What're you doing?" I panicked, my face flushing red as he fiddled with my clothes. When he had satisfied whatever need he had, he pulled his hand out again. There, he held a USB drive. My brows frowned in confusion and my hand darts to where he had pulled it out of. Had it really been there all this time?
"How much of a moron do you have to be to not notice this?" Kaga chuckled at the minuscule device in between his fingertips. It was one of those high-tech ones that are about the size of a fingernail. Honestly, it wasn’t a surprise to me that I didn't realise it at first because I had been so busy.
"I-Is that all you need from me?" I stuttered out, now with all of my chair's legs back on the ground. 
"What are you talking about? You assisted in stealing millions of dollars worth of online currency." Kaga turned to me, his face stern. My expression dropped and my face turned pale. 
"What? I had no idea what that was, or who that guy was! There's no way I can get arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time!" I roared at him, truly afraid he would arrest me for something like this. Who knows what'll be uncovered if I got put in jail? Juna would be alone. The amount of my father's guys that could get to me? I'd be dead in days.
The next thing I know, he's laughing. My enraged expression fell as to one of understanding. He was teasing me. I huffed, crossing my arms as I was embarrassed I had been duped. 
"We'll have to take your fingerprints to log the evidence. Then you can leave." His expression froze over again and I jumped up at the opportunity to leave. 
"Lead the way!" I cheered out, maybe too loud, and he scowled. I quickly apologised for being too excitable and followed him up to the Public Safety offices.
~~~~~~
Inside, I let my eyes wander around the room. It was exactly how I remembered it. Files placed carelessly on some desks and stacked neatly on others. Every man in there wore stern expressions, faces withered by stress and or smoking. Soon enough, I spotted a pile of paper on the desk not far from me. 
‘The pictures!’ I gasped as I spotted the gruesome images of murders and tortures I had taken during my youth spread all over each desk, replicas made for reference. I watched as some of the detectives analyse the faces within them, possibly trying to identify who they were from the refined images. 
"Miss, please put your fingers on here." Soma approached me with a pad of ink and a file with my birth name on it. 
"I... Um, I can't do that." I smiled anxiously as I rubbed the back of my neck. Soma furrowed his brows, asking me why. I could tell even he was a little annoyed with me. 
"I don't have fingerprints. They, er... I had a cooking incident a few years ago." I quickly thought up a lie, not wanting to disclose the true reason, for obvious reasons. Soma looked down at my hands, contemplating what to do. 
"We still need a record." Ayumu appeared out of nowhere beside me and I jumped, clamping my mouth shut so I didn't yell out at him as I sometimes had in the past. 
Surprisingly, the two seemed astonished when my fingerprints came up as big black dots. There were no clear lines or lighter edges. Just ten black splodges on the page. Ayumu asked me again how I had no fingerprints. 
"I was a kid. I... dropped my toy in a bat of hot oil and burned my hands." I shrugged while explaining some part of the truth. I was a child when it happened. I did dip my hands in boiling oil. Just not voluntarily.
Soon after, I was allowed to leave without many other questions. Before I was kicked out, I stole another glance at the evidence on the tables. My shoddy excuse for a reverse pickpocket had been successful and they had what they needed to arrest the men in my father's gang, whether he was still alive or not. A small smile crossed my face as I thought that. 
~~~~~~
As I emerged from the spinning doors, I spotted Juna and Kanto standing by a taxi. Running over, I quickly asked what they thought they were doing here. 
"We came to free you! With the way that guy spoke about you, I thought you'd never get out!" Juna frowned as she hugged me, her largening belly pushing into mine. 
"Luckily it was an entirely different matter. But, we should go. Who knows what their security cams can do." I looked up at the ball of black on the station walls, worried about what being here without a disguise could mean for my safety.
