"Naoto-kun, wait up!" There wasn't a lot that Chie could think of to give Naoto for their birthday. Having been severely advised not to cook anything for them and a plethora of ideas for what she could possibly get them, she landed on a pretty simple option. "I know it's a pretty special day today so I figured we could go out to eat somewhere, my treat!"

"Oh, Niijima-san, I heard it was your birthday today." Ken wasn't particularly close to the class President but he could at least acknowledge her birthday out of common courtesy. Swiftly he locates and presents a book that shows its age in minimal creases at the corners of the book's pages but was otherwise in pretty great condition. "I think I've caught you reading a few times and that reminded me of a book I borrowed from a friend of mine a while ago. It's been so long and I've read it so many times I figured maybe you might like it instead. I'm not sure if you like historical fiction, but it's a good read. Happy Birthday!"

"I think for many of us, dearest, it can come as a surprise to learn that love and war often go hand in hand. Opposite forces, yet this connects them, doesn't it. The fiercest passions of gods and mortals! Isn't that right, Lord Ares?"
"Mortals are so bent on clinging to their lives, that many among them would gladly kill for it. The surge of emotion which they feel... one passion is no different from another, Lady Aphrodite, dear."

So I've been kind of on the fence about this but would anyone be interested in interacting with Hidetoshi from Persona 3? Might fuck around and find out.
And no one should be surprised by this but yeah I'm gonna add Clove (Valorant), fake gasp. They're legitimately hilarious and I have an addiction, look away.

Eyes watch as she unravels in front of him and his smirk grows sporting a pleasant hum when his words inevitably sink in. There are facades she gives most that he's learn to weasel his way through, even if his reasons this time were entirely selfish. With ease she falls into him, as if she were meant to be there from the start and wordlessly he frames her, even if just for a second while their privacy allows him to. Here, in his arms, under the influence of his promises, the title 'leader' crumbles under simple words and sweet nothings as if it were flimsy from the start. Perhaps to the common eye but not he, the one that amuses himself with the knowledge that he's the only one that knows this side of her.
"Fine," he chuckles while hands suddenly find themselves on her waist, breath still gently brushing against her skin. "We'll finish this quickly and then I'll give you exactly what you need." It's a promise made in a low tone and less than subtle intentions. Just as easily as his hands rest on her body they slip away, along with the rest of his presence as he tries to keep their private plans in the back of his mind with a clear of his throat and the smirk that previously led that charge disappears. Any signs of his mischief now completely faded away while the next few words that leave his lips are completely detached from his earlier comments, as if they never happened in the first place.
"We'll get what we need and get out. Seems simple enough." Yoru rolls his shoulders back as the anticipation of another mission finally finds its way into his posture, eager to rid himself of these restricting clothes as soon as humanly possible. "They better be worth the effort of us getting dressed up like this."
and he cleans up so WELL , sage inhales sharply at seeing him , even just to herself , because just when she thinks she can stop , thinks she can STOP it all , call it quits , call the unprofessionalism and the BEATING her chest offers will dissipate , and then she sees him , and her mouth goes dry . OH . oh . eyes watch and FOLLOW his move , up until he's behind her .
so sensitive to EVERYWHERE he is : knows him , tracks him , electricity at his TOUCH . just a ghost of a touch , just a clone , but senses are OVERWHELMED , everything goes FUZZY , everything goes blank when FEELING his breath on her ear . ( how do you forget that ? how do you forget the man who made you more human than anyone else could ? how do you forget his touch ? you don't , you can't , and all you do is crave and CRAVE him . pick his voice out in every CROWD , always searching for him in places he shouldn't be , he's yours , he's yours , and you're his , and you'd have it no other way . ) ❛ ryo ... ❜ a gentle whisper , bordering on a whimper , feels herself leaning into him , ❛ don't --- do not do this to me , ❜ sage says quietly , ❛ it's ... it's a MISSION , i --- we need to be focused , i cannot do that --- i cannot do that with you --- ❜ leans closer into him , into his BREATH , letting her eyes flutter shut as she lets a sigh escape her LIPS .
and then , quickly , needily , hand clenching and UNCLENCHING as she does so , ❛ it is yours . to take off after -- after the mission . i --- i am yours . i need you . ❜

Even as the hat atop her head is weighed ever so slightly by the drops that fell she remains gleeful and intrigued by the other agent's answers, far too focused on Neon to pay much attention to the threat of rain or the consequences that could become of getting caught in the middle of it. Neon's worst case scenario does provoke a snort from the engineer as she entertains the idea briefly and then quite earnestly. "Oho the thought of you carrying me is already silly in itself but sprinting with me in your arms sounds like a challenge." She wasn't particularly heavy or anything but sprinting while holding an entire person (a person that happens to be taller, in Neon's case) offered its hurdles. Killjoy was aware that Neon was more toned than she and likely stronger but that didn't change the fact that Killjoy still had a little more height, and more weight meant a tricky uphill battle both in balance and strength.
She would still let her try, of course.
"Ahh, little baby Neon floundering about in water. That's actually adorable when you think about it. Oh I can just imagine how cute you must have been, oh so precious!" The grin spread across her face makes her cheeks her while her mind buzzed with mental images of a much smaller, frazzled Neon first grasping the idea of how to control her abilities. The very cute thought of Neon as a baby was possibly garnering the biggest reaction though. "But maybe we could improve your suits capabilities? With a few measurements I could try to regulate how it functions or potentially make a few adjustments to your liking. I mean, I'm no fashionista so nothing cosmetic but functionality is completely within my talents. We could start with improving the durability of your surge protector! If I could just attach a meter … " Admittedly her own curiosity is most of the drive for her offer but Neon's concerns were usually evident by her uncertainty and anxious behavior.
"So your stamina is heavily dependent on your suit? I had no idea it regulated so much of your power that it could determine so much of what you're physically capable of! I mean I knew you were particularly specific in keeping your inhibitors but I had no idea they held such massive weight. I wonder if I could tweak it to respond to you better generating a greater output or at least something more controlled. Although I doubt electricity can be controlled, ha! Ohhh that'll be fun."
Neon chuckled a little in response to Killjoy's response, offering a grin in reply to her statement. "Hey, I just want to make sure we're in tip-top shape for our next mission! You know better than I that sickness affects the reflexes, and so if we do get sick, then there's no way Brimstone is letting us out on the battlefield!" she defended, but nodded, "But you're right, I'm sure we will be okay if we don't stay out long, and warm up once we're inside. We're probably some of the healthiest people in the world!” she could be exaggerating, but then again, who knew. They kept their bodies in shape for their missions, so Neon was convinced they had to be pretty healthy.
Neon was usually the type to be reckless – she found the thrill enjoyable – but if getting sick meant there was no thrill at all, then she didn't want to stay out too long. Even so, she relaxed, strolling at a calm pace beside Killjoy, a lazy smile making its way onto her face as she listened to the other girl's peculiar questions.
"Well, worst case scenario, I'll pick you up and make a run for it, I'm all speed, diba?" she chuckled a little. Her pigtails had begun flattening a bit from the weight of the raindrops in her hair. "Don't worry, my body is fine in the rain as long as I don't, like, activate my powers. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bathe and stuff! Which, used to be a big problem before I was capable enough to control my powers, but Sage mentoring me has helped a lot, and plus, It's all thanks to my suit that I'm able to control my electricity, y'know? Basically, the rain will be fine, and even if something does happen, well, I'm used to getting shocked! Before I joined VALORANT, I dealt with it all the time, so…" One of Neons fingers moved up to scratch her cheek, eliciting a nervous laugh from her lips. She attempted to minimize her past, as she believed it was not that bad. At least, in her opinion.
"It doesn't affect my speed or stamina, so long as I have my suit on. If I'm not, I'd have to focus a lot of energy on not electrocuting myself without those inhibitors, since even though I have a lot more control now, electricity is still a force to be reckoned with! I probably wouldn't be all that fast, and I would be exhausted from focusing so hard on keeping my powers in check," she explained, hoping she remembered everything Killjoy had asked.

The way she says his name … so pitifully, it makes the corners of his lips heavy with the thought that it stemmed from a mistake he could have prevented. That this worry now sat with her, rotted in some crevice he was blind to until now. Festering into something that he hadn't noticed until she stood shocked and shivering in his arms in the dead of night, sobbing her woes on his bare skin while tears he swore to wipe now fell with the bite of snow on a warm body.
Death wasn't a subject he liked to discuss but rather impose if ever faced with a decision. If the barrel of his gun didn't promise that at the very least he didn't deserve to hold it. Death was just a synonym for failure and if that were something he could tolerate he wouldn't stand so guarded, bothered and torn by the idea of it. Failure was too heavy a word for him to shoulder himself despite how often he would insist he could and reject the idea of anyone trying to shoulder that burden for him. It reminds him that his life is fragile, withering away from the idea of typical if it ever was. Loneliness, the damned thing, clung to him like the clothes on his back and wove itself into the very threads of his soul. Wearing it for so long he had little idea what it was like to shake it and now he knows without it he's cold. Cold and icy but inviting. He knows that without loneliness what he searches for takes shape in a woman and even bearing ice she draws him closer to her with shaky hands and a pleading embrace. Shivering and chilled her touch reminds him that he's been seen and the empty pit he's grown accustomed to is now full of what love she has to offer. Love, that word again, he's chased it for so long in all of the wrong places it's ironic that it came to him when he finally laid it to rest.
"I promise I'm not going anywhere." Thoughts previously thrown into a state of disarray are muted to offer her a moment of peace. Confidence was something that he could offer her without thinking because the fear of failing himself, failing her was enough to make him sure that he wouldn't buckle under the pressure. The fear of letting someone in just to watch them leave was daunting, but he knew to tread with caution. Death always meant defeat and it always sat bitterly on his tongue once life flowed through his veins again. It sat on his tongue in bitter taste, on his mind as ugly reminder, in his heart as a feeling of rejection. A persistent blemish he was desperately trying to scrub away. He hadn't considered what death meant to her, not until now.
"Come here," he breaths even though she's as close as she can possibly be, an arm wraps itself around her legs to scoop her from where she stood and carry her in. The door hisses shut behind him when he takes quiet steps toward the bed still left with blankets tossed in a hurry and a space perfect for her just beside it. Carefully he lays her down, pressing lips gently to wet cheek and crawling into bed beside her as if it were perfectly normal to, as if this were any other night, any other night of perfect mundane worries put to rest by the moon's presence even as a thumb reaches to brush them away from her eyes yet again. "You're staying here tonight with me until you learn to believe me." His smirk is only temporary, melting into a small smile as he draws closer and offers another embrace to pull her close. "I promise I wouldn't leave you like that. I'll come back to you every time."
۟. ♡ ៶ the physicality of HIM is nothing short of COMFORTING , his touch on small of her back a soothing FEELING seeming to bloom through her body , the vibrations of his voice reverberates and sends warmth : melting away the fear and ANXIETY that had found itself rooting itself in her veins , but hard to catch her BREATH between gentle sobs . ( oh , how YOU are so easily undone : enigma of WOMAN who's supposed to be nothing but fortitude of strength so easily shattered , leaving nothing but the sharp edges that no one wants to touch . BUT HE SEEMS SO WILLING . HE'D LITTER HIS FINGERS IN CUTS IF JUST TO SEE YOU BETTER . and the feeling --- it tickles , tickles the back of your MIND : that funny familiar FEELING , a stark reminder of the reason why you put the WALL between the two of you , between the entire protocol . )
۟. ♡ ៶ it was BOUND to come eventually : the fissures in sentinel were never meant to HOLD up , but she's pasted and SEWED them over and over , the strain of HOLDING everyone else at arm's length is never sustainable . especially not for her . gentle hands will fiddle behind his back , brown eyes lingering on his COUNTENANCE , if only BLURRED by her tears that have not yet fallen . SAGE WILL silence the race of her HEART as she feels herself pulled tighter : trail mix of emotions ( the anxiety , the guilt , the FEAR of knowing she has crossed a LINE she told herself she'd never cross ) as she leans into his TOUCH , an almost blissful look on her own features , relief flooding her system as she lets her eyes flutter shut . ❛ ryo ... ❜ slow and gentle whine , barely above a whisper .
۟. ♡ ៶ ❛ promise me , ❜ childish whisper , a request , no , PLEA from sage , ❛ anyone --- anyone else ... ❜ sage swallows , gaze FLICKERING on his features , studying them , memorizing them , as if afraid she'll forget it if not careful enough . ( have you scrubbed the image of the bullet through his brain matter from your own skull yet ? have you forgotten the blood getting in his eyes and FLOODING between your desperate fingers that apply pressure ? have you ? or are your hands still stained red ? ) ❛ but if it's you --- it's ... ❜ purses lips , the words caught in her THROAT , eyebrows knitting together , blinks back tears ; but it's futile , and they'll still fall down her cheeks . ❛ it is DIFFERENT , so , promise me --- ❜
۟. ♡ ៶ ( YOU'RE NOT sure how long you had been there , the familiar feeling of your RADIANCE failing you time and TIME again , fizzing out like short circuited wire giving out it's last current before the bulb breaks , the failed familiar rise and fall of CHEST you had grown so reliant on for comfort having been snuffed out . you're not sure how long you'd been there , but his blood had run cold in your powerless hands , and you were sure they had to pry your body away from his : no shrieks of GRIEF to escape your lips , but it had taken two of them to pull and tug you off of him . head hung and hair matted with BLOOD , no less deadweight in their hands ; you're not sure how long you had been there , but neither does he . does he know how you grieve him ? does he know the HEARTACHE that rips its way into your chest : burrowing into yourself like CHASM and demanding to be felt , over , and over , until you exhaust yourself into nothingness ? you can't keep breaking your heart over him . you can't , I CAN'T LET HIM CONSUME ME , and yet ... )
۟. ♡ ៶ blinks away the dream with small , tight , wavering smile , small , cold hands a GHOST of a touch on his back . ❛ promise me you're not going anywhere . i know --- i know it's foolish , just --- please , ryo . ❜

The agitation she wears comes with good reason and it shows itself through awkward pacing and folded arms. Weight shifts from one side to the other in uncertain stance before Fade's voice interrupts the pattern, causing her to blink and acknowledge she was physically speaking her mind. It embarrasses her just a tad, sharing this too with a hand scratching gently at her cheek and brown eyes avert their gaze to try and explain herself without completely exposing her fears. Fears. She's forgetting who she's talking to.
"Just … a lot on my mind I guess." It's the truth and she struggles to carry the weight of what she really alludes to. The rising sea level of their planet as made her especially eager to do something with the pent up energy that's stored itself within her frame. The Philippines didn't stand much of a chance against the threats of natural disaster and dying Earth and when Legion offered solution she gladly took it. It's what she fights for, what she's here for but that doesn't stop the thoughts that plague her every day. That her absence somehow warrants unrealistic threats to the home she essentially left behind to be here. Neon tries not to let the thoughts drown her but it's hard not to immediately think the worst when she had minimal reason to believe it wasn't happening.
Briefly, a smile shows itself on her lips as she shakes her head. "Nah, she doesn't need me to scare her." She scoffs out of confidence or jest isn't immediately clear but Neon's content nonetheless. "Sorry, I'm just restless. I can't stand waiting around like this waiting for something to happen and I can only do the same things so many times to occupy myself." She doesn't need to wreck havoc on her double but it certainly helped to blow off the steam. "Don't you get like … antsy?" The bouncing creature resting at their heels does manage to bring back the smile that fell, even if momentarily.
starter for @galaxythixf / from here.
"Something on your mind?" They have their chin atop their knuckles as they glance at Neon. "You seem... agitated. Or excited. Or both. You're making Nightmare nervous." It's delivered in such a deadpan manner that anyone unaccustomed to Fade's way of speaking wouldn't know how to react. The shadow by the feet of the chair they're sitting on dances for the briefest of moments; whether in acknowledgement of the comment or something else, there's no other indication of it. Then there comes the urge to run her tongue against the tips of her canines again—she resists.
"If it's about last mission, you know Brimstone decides who goes where. I'm sure you would've loved to have been the one to send your Mirror running. Away."

Oh the way she falls into him makes it that much harder to deny that his body yearns for rest. It yearns for closed eyes, fallen shoulders and the peace that came with rest. Rest he knew he'd never wake from if he gave in but there was no temptress greater than peaceful sleep, even when death wore its face. Lips so sweet mark pleas on his skin that he recognizes, even if he can barely make sense of her features, he knows her. Every part of her. Her touch, her voice, he reaches them, he needs them, he knows them like gospel. Had he the mind to warn her against using affections in such a fragile state it would have been stated but he couldn't give a damn with a mind half there, half faded.
"You better be." Looking for him, that is. It's not quite as confident as he would have liked but that's partially due to how heavy eyelids grow despite how hard he tries to keep them from falling. It's a challenge, a challenge he isn't above trying but is ultimately losing with every haggard breath. Fuck, where was everyone? How long did it take to haul ass from one site to another? Those idiots acted like they were lost, picking the worst time to drag their feet. Energy seeps from him faster than he can breathe, mind busy with thoughts that came and went until the same thought grew when feeling began to fade. Cold. He's so fucking cold. It's no surprise when blood not only coats him but pools, and he knows his chances of fighting it off much longer are futile even with his stubborn attitude. There were limits even he had to admit he had reached.
"I'm trying … " His voice struggles to hold the same unwavering confidence it once held, now fallen to a volume he wouldn't otherwise hold had it not been for his lack of awareness. "But I'm so damn cold." Yoru somehow finds it in his tattered body to chuckle and he swears he feels none of it. "Can't really do much about that." There's sound that stirs him slightly but he can't make out whether it's footsteps or more gunfire in such a sorry state. Without thinking he leans on her, chasing heat, he thinks despite the irony. Cold hands offer nothing but she's still human, she wasn't void of warmth even if it wouldn't be enough to satisfy his body as it essentially gave in to its wounds.
"Don't act like this is the last time you'll see me," every word becomes harder to draw when his breaths are now split between keeping himself alive and speaking to her. "Whatever you have left to say can still wait until later. This isn't the end." How could he be so sure? How could he say that when he was on the verge of looking death in the eye. So tempting, so inviting …
"… This isn't goodbye, Wei."
OH , and she is nothing more than mere angel turned HUMAN , if only by the person in front of her : what a feat , what a MAN he must be , to have so easily melted the ICE she was so proud of . ( he taught you how to be human . spent years of your life scrubbing it from your BODY until your arms and legs and body was RED , so proud , what a proud bastard you were , to not let ANYONE in , an untouchable enigma . you were . you were . he RUINED you . he RUINED you . spent how many months grappling with the IDEA that you were becoming everything you had spent your life training not to be , but he ruined you , he ruined you .
and given the chance , you'd do it all over again . in a heartbeat . ) when he calls , WHEN HE CALLS , she will always come ; sewed into her soul by the man whose life slips away between her FINGERS like sand in hourglass . when he calls , she will always come . she will always answer . WATCH as she inches closer to him , watering EYES and zooming heart with BLOOD rushing in EARS as she inches CLOSER , hand cupping his CHEEK before falling and squeezing one of his hands : even if alarmed , doesn't show it .
"Stop panicking, Wei and look at me. Just look at me."
( ❛ just look at me , ❜ he says , and sage looks pointedly AWAY , flustered , embarrassed and PINK cheeks . firm TOUCH of hand , on CHIN to turn her towards him . hands don't leave the TABLET with mission report on it , but her attention has been PULLED away by one in FRONT of her , eyes flickering and FLITTERING around : refusing to look him in the eyes . ❛ hey , i said look at me , WEI . ❜ rolls her eyes , but still looks at the OTHER , pout on glossed vanilla lips , as he presses GENTLE kiss to her lips , pulling TABLET from hand as he DOES so , as if planned from the beginning . ❛ don't be mad . i said i was sorry . ❜
a slight pointed glare to him , before GIVING quick kiss and SNATCHING the tablet back . ❛ fine . ❜ )
blinking WATCH of arrival time is to PULL her attention away from the other , it's too long , always too LONG , you called for back up AGES ago and they still take their time to ROTATE . panic aches and RUNS through her body , her BONES , but she is still his at the end of the day . if he calls , she will come . she will always come . STOP PANICKING . stop panicking .
❛ i ... i am looking at you , ❜ she says quietly , coated TEARS on her voice wheeze lingering on her THROAT from sobs torn from it . squeezes his hand gently , bites back GASP at feeling blood on it . ( three times . three times . three times . ) ❛ i always am , ❜ she admits , ❛ looking ... for you . ❜ in any crowd . in any room . in any place . rests her head against his SHOULDER , arm wrapped around his , bites down on her lip . ❛ there are still ... things . i need to do ... with you . to say ... to you , ❜ sage whispers , but unlike the TIMES that she had done like keeping secrets between the two of them , it is more PENSIVE . more quiet . grey lingers on tones of her voice like heavy BLANKET , letting tears fall FREELY from her eyes with not a CARE to wipe them .
❛ so ... keep talking to me . do not go into the night , 我的心 . ❜ presses gentle kiss into blood stained CHEEK , tries to ignore the stench of iron coming off him . ❛ do not leave us --- do not leave me yet . you are not FINISHED . we are not finished . ❜
