idk why i’m thinking about you and zuko sneaking around at night. i don’t even mean in like a sexual way (which it definitely is sometimes) but like.. sneaking out and cuddling under the stars or skinny dipping in the pond and just being able to love each other without other people judging you before it’s morning again and you two have to act like you don’t know each other…
This is so sweet because Zuko totally would get you into his sneaking out habits almost as a break from the overbearing world of royalty, to indulge in the simplicity of life. Quiet, other than the sounds of cicadas surrounding the air around you two, and besides the gentle voices you two use to talk to each other.
The both of you laughing at how a frog just hopped away from the sounds of grass rustling, finding as many constellations in the sky as possible, looking deeply into each other’s eyes, colors practically glowing in the white aura of the moon, Yue was especially entranced by you two that night.
Or if you two decide to go swim around in the nearby pond, it wouldn’t be much of swimming at all with how you two can seem to pull out of the embrace you two shared. Practically feeling your heartbeats just synchronize in genuineness, a testament to how far beneath the surface your love for each other goes.
It’s so hard living a life of apathy for the one you found your other half in, if you could, you and Zuko would hug and kiss and hold hands all day everyday. Resisting that gravitational attraction to just be close and remind each other of your love is hard. But thankfully, on the nights where the both of you aren’t to tired from your everyday duties, there are moments where you two can in fact be the couple you are.

Hewoo~! ♡´・ᴗ・`♡ I would like to request a touch starved gn!reader x Shxtou~ 🌸
The lack of Shxtou x reader is a crime! (ง'̀-'́)ง
I'm really touch starved, like... All the time!! (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ So i would love some kisses and hugs from my beloved dog boy~ ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎
🍓🌸
as summer began to die down, a cool autumn breeze wafted through your open apartment window. you were restless these days, working hours upon hours by taking extra unwanted summer shifts that teenagers started to drop the closer it came to the school year. you worked at a small cafe in the city and, though you loved your job, there was nothing you craved more than to spend time with your boyfriend. unfortunately, as all odds seemed to be against you currently, your work shifts had overlapped and you had felt as if you never saw him anymore despite living under the same roof and sharing a bed at night. the lack of his presence left you feeling drained and lonely even if he was just in the other room.
today was a strange day, as you were not needed at work. this meant you could do nothing but stay home and be with your lover all day, right? wrong. your beloved purple haired partner had unintentionally scheduled a gaming marathon stream for the whole day you were free. it was no one’s fault, really, for the overlapped schedules and you were both adults who could figure things out along the way.
thats what led you to this situation. on a small, yet very comfy snorlax shaped bean bag chair with a thin blanket draped over your figure as your boyfriend continues his stream right in front of you. you were still in the same room, yes. occasionally the two of you would converse or the chat would ask about you as well, but you didn’t mind too much. you just wanted to spend time with your boyfriend by your side. as he gamed, you idly scroll through your phone, sending a few videos to his phone for him to watch later. this was enough, you thought. you were content with simply being at his side, warm and cozy doing your own thing.. yet your body craved his. not in a sexual way, not then at least. you craved his touch and the way his warm skin felt against yours. you missed the cuddles and the ghost kisses that would be littered all over your face. you missed your lover, who was mere inches away from you.
as shouto took a break from the stream, he glances down to you curled up in the bean bag chair. a small smile crawls onto his features as he sees you had fallen asleep while on your phone which was still displaying whatever you had last seen. excusing himself from the stream for a moment, he takes off his headset and approaches you, gently taking your phone to turn it off. before he could do so, he notices what you had been looking at last. it was the photo album you had been keeping of you two since you had started dating all those years ago. it warmed his heart, seeing how cute you looked asleep in the chair. although you looked comfy now, he knew how you’d be complaining about the back pain of the uncomfortable position you were in hours after your nap. so, shouto gently picks you up and carries you to bed. once in his arms, your sleeping figure practically melts into him, melding together like two marshmallows in a pit. he sets you down in bed, carefully tucking you in before making his way back to his gaming room until you stop him. “wait..” you say in a half asleep daze “come cuddle me..” you call out to your boyfriend who looks at you tenderly. “i’ve got a stream going on, baby.. you know this” he replies, his heart fighting between crawling into bed with you or going back to work.
in the end, he lost the battle of logic and ended up telling his audience that something had come up. you, however, had won your boyfriend’s attention for the rest of the day successfully.
super short, slightly sweet.

the most enchanting fic i’ve read in a HOT minute. absolutely obsessed.
moon - m.
Tumblr media
               ──── ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ────
☾ summary: Newt has never met a monster he couldn’t love…
☾ word count: 67k (I am so sorry)
☾ pairing: newt scamander | werewolf!reader 
☾ genre: s l o w  b u r n,  romance, angst, fluff, eventual smut
☾ rating: 18+
☾ warnings: mentions of blood, violence, depression, self-harm (briefly), adult language
☾ author’s note:  I apologize in advance if this is trash. Newt may seem OOC but it’s purposeful. Also, all werewolf lore in this is a bit different than JK’s lore, but I still kept aspects of hers in it. As for the smut, this is my second time doing this, but I really tried my best! I was inspired by the song Moon by Alison Sudol (aka Queenie). It’s such a good song, as are all her songs. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy :)
**p.s. in this fic I used the headcanon(s) where Newt is on the spectrum and has a stutter that he loses as he gets older, but returns when he is nervous.
** I also suggest that if you can, you should read this on google chrome with the InteractiveFics extension and replace the following with your desired information: (y/n) = first name (l/n) = last name (e/c) = eye color (h/c) = hair color (s/c) = skin color

“—and then if i put this in brackets, it makes a command! cool, right princess?” saeyoung turns to you, golden eyes swimming with excitement. he was so enthralled in breaking down game coding, he completely glanced over your stare of adoration.
“the coolest! i love when you talk like a dork.” you beam up at your boyfriend from beside him, shoulders brushing with every movement. he frowns at your admission, not picking up on the tone your voice carries.
he pouts, jutting out his bottom lip, “are you making fun of me?” his mumble is laced in faux sadness, a laugh escaping you. “no, sorry.—” you calm yourself before continuing on, slipping your hand in his for reassurance.
“—that probably sounds rude, but i mean it sincerely. i have a soft spot for when you talk so happily about the things you like.” your face grows hot as the confession feels awkward coming out, your eyes now trained on your hands playing with his.
theres a pause, then, “okay, you win.” his words are quiet as you glance up to find him facing away from you, ears tinted with a blush of his own.
now you’re both a blushing mess sitting on your couch, side by side so that he can share his computer screen with you.
“i never intended to lose.” you tease, poking his chest with a smirk as he gently swats your hand away. you relax, noticing the gap between your faces has been cut down immensely—you can feel his breath just above your lips, his hands now sliding down to grip your waist.
his lips ghost over your own, your heart leaps, you go to connect them until—
creak

aki writes poetry for you. but hell will freeze over before he lets foreign eyes breach his works. he doesn’t know a thing about poetry and he truly doesn’t believe he’s good enough for the moon to see his heartfelt sentiments, but he simply loves you too much. he loves you too much to keep all of those feelings bottled up deep inside. he can’t bear the way his love for you claws at his chest, beating within the vessel that is his heart as he stares at you, admiring the way the stars twinkle in your eyes.
he can’t help it. there’s so much he wants to say to you but he simply can’t find the words. aki believes there are not words worthy enough, soft enough, sweet enough to convey the way he feels about you. so he does his best under the guise of pen and paper. aki writes poetry for you, and although he hates how sappy each and every word seems, he knows they’re no where near the truth when it comes to you.

𓍯 Velvet Garden 03
A story of the Pretty Sailor Guardian, Sailor Gaia and her lover. 
A neon impasse. 
˚ ⋆ ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚
Sunday morning, you wake up seamlessly. No ragged breathing or sweaty palms; no strange dreams. For once in what felt like ages, you didn’t dream of a woman and her sister named Serenity. You did not dream of a war and a man whose face you could barely make out- who you learned was named Endymion. You did not dream of faceless heroes and villains, nor did you dream of the pain of the faceless Princess Thea. 
Rolling over to your side, you find your phone on your bedside table. A text from your mother is amongst all your other random notifications- 
Mom: I won’t be home until late tonight, my card is on the table. 
Mom: I heard there’s a carnival in town. If you want, you should check it out.
Mom: I know it's for kids but you’ve been home alone a lot recently.. Do something fun today. 
Mom: I love you, Kaede. 
You read her texts, followed by an article link of the carnival she was talking about. It was a child’s carnival indeed, filled with cute animals and a princess. The entrance fee was fairly cheap and you had your whole day off considering you had done all your work yesterday. So, you got up and got dressed for your day. It was a lot warmer than it was Friday night but the large coat hanging in your closet reminded you to bring a jacket just in case. Slipping on a white hoodie and a pair of pink shorts, you threw on your shoes and danced around the kitchen as you scrounged for snacks before you left for the carnival. A simple 30 minute train ride away wasn’t so bad but, you didn’t want to starve yourself on your way there. After taking your time to get ready, making yourself feel pretty for the day ahead, you left your building to walk to the closest train station. 
The sun was bright out today, though it wasn’t scorching hot. Light pink cherry blossoms were starting to bloom on the trees you passed by and you took in a deep breath, admiring their scent. You smiled to yourself once at the train station, glad that it wasn’t as busy as usual. Waiting for your train to come, you rummage through your bag to find your phone to pass time. Instead, you pull out a strange looking brooch that you surely did not remember packing earlier that morning. It was a beautiful silver brooch with the design of what looked like the sun on it with six small and lightly tinted crystals on it. You carefully put it back into your bag, not wanting to scratch such a beautiful accessory before pulling out your phone and aimlessly scrolling. You sat at the bench, reading through the most recent Sailor Moon activities. 
– 
“Endymion, there’s no need to hide.” The woman says amusingly, glancing over to the man who was trying his best to hide behind one of the almost white trees. He leaves his hiding spot, quickly making his way over to her. “What if one of the guards sees me?” He asked her cautiously, only for her to wave her hand as if dismissing the thought. “The scouts are resting and the guards are at meet with my mother and sister, lecturing poor Serenity about tricking them.” The woman explains with a light smile, looking at him.  “I missed you,” She says quietly before he wraps his arms around her tightly, embracing her. 
“I missed you too, my love.” He whispers in her ear quietly, lovingly. 
Maybe you should go to the doctor, considering the amount of odd daydreams you’ve been having. Hey Doc, I’ve been having weird dreams of this lady and what i think is her estranged lover dying! You chuckle at the thought as you slip on your headphones to fill in  the quiet space. It’s a few more minutes before the train arrives, but you quickly head in and find a place to hold tight before the vehicle starts moving. 
Sooner than later, you make it to the fair. Big signs lead you to buy tickets and advertise the park: Dreamland. You smile to yourself, seeing the kid like attractions and such around. Entering the park, you take in the smell of the loved carnival food. “Yoo-hoo!! I’m having so much fun!!” a loud voice says, shifting your gaze to the source. You see two familiar blonde buns going up and down on the merry-go-round. You laugh to yourself and called out to her, “Hey, Tsukino-Chan! What’s up?” The blonde perks up at the sound of your voice and gets off the ride as soon as she could, running over to you. She tackles you in a hug, causing you to stumble back a step. “Ryuu-Sama, I’m so glad to see you!” The girl says to you, causing a confused look to crawl onto your features. She’s so excited and I barely know her.? “It’s good to see you too.” You tell her, patting her head before you two part from the hug. There’s a call for her name before you see two girls running to you guys. “Usagi-Chan, we’ve been looking for you!” Says a girl with dark black hair and almost purple eyes. Her gaze shifts over to yours and her eyes widen before she bows her head and greets you. “Ryuu-Senpai, I didn’t think we’d bump into you!” You pause for a second, before you laugh lightly. “No need to bow, Hino-Chan. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” You tell her, causing the other girl with her and Usagi to look to you both. “We used to go to school together,” You explained briefly before continuing. “Hino-Chan would get lost in the halls and follow me around even though I was in a completely different grade.” You say with a fond smile on your face, Rei’s face flushed with embarrassment. “I’m Mizuno Ami,” Greeted the other girl with short, pretty blue hair. You smiled at her and gave her a small wave before Rei speaks up again. “Usagi-Chan, you aren’t supposed to run off like that, you know this! We’re.. looking for something and you aren’t helping!” She says, causing the blonde to frown. “Lighten up, Rei-San! I want to have fun!” Usagi says to her friend, only for her to roll her eyes. They don’t seem to be getting along. You open your mouth to speak before you’re interrupted by a new voice. “Hi.” The voice says to your group, startling you all and you guys to shriek. You all looked to where the voice came from, even more shocked with the result. “A talking lion?!” Screams Usagi, gripping your arm and hiding behind you. You looked at the girl a bit worried and stood in front of her to attempt to ease her. “Don’t worry, he isn’t a real animal.” Says a new voice, a girl in a poofy dress and crown. “You’re the Dream Princess. I saw you on TV.” Usagi speaks from behind you as the girl nods. Ami eyes the lion suspiciously, her glance shifting to you and Usagi for a second. “Are you sure the lion is fake?” Ami asks the princess, causing her to nod and show us a remote. She presses a button and the lion sits down, proving to us that the animal is indeed a toy. “They’re kinda.. Cute..” Usagi says, stepping away from you and closer to the lion. “I’m getting bad vibes from her..” Rei mumbles to Ami, you look over to them and nod. More and more animals waddle over to your small group, effectively gaining Usagi’s attention. You, on the other hand, feel your heart racing. Why do I have a bad feeling about all of this? You watched Usagi and the Princess talk about a party with candy, causing the blonde’s eyes to light up. “Oh, I can’t wait!!” She says excitedly before you quickly grab her hand and walk away, her friends following behind you too. You felt your heart pounding and a knot of anxiety tangling in your chest. You felt so protective over Usagi and her friends yet, you barely knew any of them. Was it because you were the oldest so you felt responsible for them? “I don’t like her. There’s something off with her.” You say as you finally stopped walking, far enough from the Princess so she couldn’t hear. Rei and Ami nod beside you, causing Usagi to pout. “Come on, she’s just the Dream Princess!”  You shake your head at her and sigh. “Maybe we should split up,” Ami suggests before looking over to you with a kind smile. “You can go enjoy the park, we should be going.” She tells you as Rei and Usagi nods, a sort of sad smile on the blonde’s face. “I can help. You guys are looking for something, right? We’ll split off into pairs.” You suggest as all the girls look at each other as if exchanging their thoughts. Before they could reply, you looped your arm with Ami’s with a smile on your face. “We’ll find you guys later!” You called out to them as you tug the girl away. 
Walking around the park, you glance around before looking at Ami. “So.. what are we looking for?” You ask her before she shrugs. “I’m not sure how to explain it.. But I’ll know when I see it.” She tells you as you nod in response. You spot a sort of flower garden display, nudging her arm and looking over to the garden. “How do you know Usagi-Chan?” Ami asks you as you two walk towards the garden. “Her cat woke me up at a bus stop.” You laughed lightly as you two entered the garden. Ami walks a little behind you, watching as you make your way through the beautiful flowers. 
“Princess Thea!” calls a voice, causing the woman to look up from her book in her lap. “Princess Thea, the queen wishes to have a meal with you and your sister!” The voice calls again, closer this time. With a sigh, she closes her book.
“Mercury, there’s no need to yell like that in the garden.” The princess speaks as the sailor scout bows in a light apology. “I’m sorry, your highness, I always seem to get lost in this garden.” Mercury speaks, drawing a light laugh from the princess. “That’s why I enjoy it here,” The princess sets her hand on top of Mercury’s head affectionately.
“I’m harder to find.” 
Ami breaks out of her daze, realizing she had stopped walking. Looking around herself, you were gone. The girl glances around the close vicinity before walking, hoping she would find you somewhere in the garden as the daydream plays in a loop in her mind. That is, until she sees you sitting on your legs, calmly looking through the flowers as if you two weren’t just on the search for whatever the girls were looking for in the first place. “Princess, I found you!” Ami says before her hand slaps across her mouth, in shock of her own words. You look up to her, your face scrunched up as you stand from your spot. “Princess? Do I look like the Dream Princess?” You jokingly asked her, motioning to your clothes. “I’m sorry Ryuu-San! I don’t know where that came from, really!” Ami says, sputtering out apologies. You laughed lightly, ruffling her short hair in response to her embarrassment. “It’s alright, Mizuno-Chan. This park with princesses and talking animals is a little weird for the head.” You tell her. She sort of shakes her head, dismissing a thought to herself and nods at you before motioning to the exit of the maze-like garden. “I think the Princess is having her party soon.” Ami says, motioning to the big building a bit away. You nodded in response, “Yeah, we should head over there. Maybe we’ll find Rei-Chan and Tsukino-Chan.” You say to her. 
When you guys make it into the cold factory, the smell of sugar fills your senses. There are multiple tables full of cookies and candies, desserts you’ve never even heard of line the tables as well. “I can’t believe Usagi-Chan is missing this!” Ami says, filling a small plate with sweets for herself. You nod as you pick up a cookie, feeling a chill run up your spine. “Is it cold in here or is that just me?” You ask Ami as she shrugs. You ignore the feeling and take a bite of the cookie, glancing around the room. Within minutes, the room feels dull and quiet, a wave of grogginess washing over you. Kids in the room begin complaining that they are tired, then soon enough the adults as well. Ami rubs her eyes, trying her hardest to stay away as she drops her plate on the ground carelessly. “It’s the sweets,” She says to you as you reach out to grab her arm, feeling yourself grow even more tired than before. “They’re taking up all our energy, Rei was right about the Princess.” She says before falling onto her knees. You fall with her, your bag falling off your shoulder and spilling. The beautiful silver brooch from before slips out, falling in between you and your newfound friend. She looks at it with wide eyes, taking it in her weak hand as she looks at you desperately. “Hold it..” She tells you tiredly. You reach your arm out to take it before everything goes dark. 
– 
“See what happens when you girls work together?” You hear a voice say as you wake up. You sit up and rub your eyes as you hear a group of girls speak before actually looking at them. Your eyes widen at the site of the Sailor Scouts and a small black cat speaking together in the room, causing you to let out a surprised yell and scooch back. What are the Sailor Scouts doing here? What happened? The Scouts look over to you worriedly before Sailor Moon runs over to you worriedly, kneeling in front of you. “Ryuu-Sama, are you alright?!” She asks you as you take another scoot back. A sudden flash of cold and light floods your senses as your hand grazes against a smooth metal.
“Sailor Gaia?”

𓍯 Mist Beneath Your Apartment 02
A story of the Pretty Sailor Guardian, Sailor Gaia and her lover. 
A neon impasse. 
˚ ⋆ ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚
From that day on, it had become a sort of schedule. Every weekday after school, you’d head to the bus stop and spot the boy you’ve gotten to slowly know there. Mamoru Chiba, third year at Moto Azabu High School. He was quiet a lot of the time but, you didn’t really mind. The silence was strangely comforting, not awkward at all. 
Tiredly, you slumped into the bench, holding your bags to your chest in case someone wanted to sit next to you. It had been a vigorous day at school, test after test. It was close to spring time, the cherry blossom trees made the air smell sweet. 
“Thea, you would never believe what I just heard!” A light voice boomed at the door. Princess Serenity opens the door, a few books stacked in her arms. The girl flinches at her desk, looking up to see her younger sister. “Serenity, what happened to our knocking rule?” she sighs. Ignoring what the other had said, Serenity plops the books down onto the desk. “Look what Mercury brought us! She says it’s for our next lesson but I couldn’t help but look at them, they’re not from our library.” She says excitedly. Thea looks at her sister curiously, “Since when are you interested in our lesson books?” She asked. Serenity leaned over the desk to get closer to her sister, a playful grin on her face. “These books are from Earth.” She says quietly, pulling one out. It had a strange cover, something resembling what looked to be the Silver Crystal. Thea took it in her hands, feeling the rough material of the aged leather. “How’d Mercury get her hands on this?” The older girl says, gently flipping through the pages. “She says mother sent her there to gather things for studies. It’s strange, isn’t it?” Replies her sister, now sitting on the desk of the study room. “I think it’s wonderfully made. How did they know this about our Silver Crystal? Or do they have their own?” Thea says, to which her younger sister laughs at her. “There’s only one Silver Crystal, sister. I thought you’d know that.” Thea deadpans, letting a small laugh escape her breath, “Well, yes, but how’d they know all of this? Is this information even true?” Serenity shrugs, hopping off the desk and taking the other books she had brought into the study room. She puts them onto the other  study desk and skips to the door gracefully.
“Let me know what you find out, sister. I know how much you adore the small planet.”
There’s a soft thud next to you and you immediately sit up. How did you manage to fall asleep at the bus stop? Rubbing your eyes, you yawn and look to your side to see what had woken you up. A pretty black cat sits there, a strange crescent mark on its face. You slowly reach to pet it before you hear a familiar voice. “Luna, there you are!” Calls the voice. The blonde girl from a few days ago runs up to you and the cat tiredly. “Sorry about that, my cat likes to cause trouble.” She says. Her long hair was put up into two buns, sorta resembling pork buns. The cat glared at the girl and hopped lightly into your lap. You laughed lightly, petting the cat, Luna. “Well, she’s quite nice for now.” You reply to the girl, smiling at her. The girl looks at you for a bit, dazing out for a quick moment. She looked younger than you, shorter too. She was also wearing a junior high standard uniform, so you had to guess that she was younger by at the very least a year. “Luna seems to like everyone but me..” The girl sighs before taking a seat next to you on the bench. “I’m Tsukino Usagi.” The blonde says, putting her hand out for you. You shake it and smile at her “Ryuu Kaede, it’s nice to meet you.” The hold of her soft hand was kind and filled you with an odd rush of love. 
When the two of you parted hands, the cat in your lap hops off and to the ground as your bus pulls into view. You look around, making sure it was the right bus. Strange,  Chiba-Senpai isn’t here yet. You look back to the girl. “Is this your bus too?” You ask her, gathering your stuff. She shakes her head. “No, I need to get to Hikawa Shrine.” She answered you. You tilt your head to the statement, standing up as the bus stops. “The one with the haunted bus rumor?” You question again, to which the girl nodded. “Just curious, yknow? I wanna see what the rumors are about!” She answered. You’re about to step into the bus, holding all of your stuff as you reply, “Alright, Tsukino-Chan. Be safe, I’ll see you around” You say entering the bus. Heading to your usual seat, it feels odd to not see Chiba-Senpai already sitting down or standing by the railing. Sitting down, you set your bags in your lap. It was a Friday, the gateway to your weekend break. Maybe Chiba-Senpai took a break for himself?
Your class is let out and you stand at your desk, stretching your arms up high as you hold in a yawn. Checking your phone, the time was a little after 6pm. You see a message from your mother checking up on you, a few notifications from miscellaneous apps, and a large bolded news message. 
{SAILOR MOON FIGHTS BACK ONCE AGAIN! Missing people from..}
You type in your phone passcode before opening the news tab to properly read the message. It was on the case of the missing people who had tried going to Hikawa Shrine on the so called “haunted bus”. Your heart dropped. Was Tsukino-Chan alright? You hoped that the young girl had decided to go home instead of that bus. You’ve heard of the hero everyone talks about, a girl named Sailor Moon. There were others like her too, a Sailor Mercury and now Sailor Mars. Along with a masked vigilante who went by Tuxedo Mask as well.
Another bell went off and you were taken out of your trance of reading the articles written about these so-called heroes. With a tired sigh, you close your phone and begin packing your things so you could finally head home. It was dark by the time you walked out of the building. It was far too late to catch a bus to your neighborhood, so you had to walk the short distance home. The chilly air and the casual car passing by you kept you awake and alert. It was a fairly safe area to be in but, with all the monsters showing up along with the masked heroes, you could never be too careful. You slipped your earbuds in to keep you entertained as you waited for the crosswalk light to turn green, choosing a light playlist to keep you company for the night. 
“Sailor Gaia, quick!” A male voice calls out. 
The woman turns to him, fear etched onto both their features. The dark looming dread surrounds them as voices call for help from every direction. 
“You’ll have to go find the rest of them without me..” The woman breathes out a reply to him, realisation hitting them. There was no way both of them could make it out of this together. The man looked at her, his masked face failing to hide his pained expression. “No, we’ll find them together.” He said in attempts to assure both of them. She takes his hand in hers with a smile as tears streamed down her dirtied cheeks. 
“Endymion, please. Please find my sister and get her out of here.” 
“I can’t leave you here, Thea. Not like this.. Please”
A loud honking noise gets your attention, though it was too late for you to move out of its way. You closed your eyes, waiting for the impact of the car. Instead, you feel yourself being tucked into a warm and tight presence away from the car’s direction. “Are you alright?” You open your eyes to finally see what had happened. “Chiba-Senpai..” You mumbled, moving away from his grasp. “Thank you for saving me, I didn’t even see them coming my way..” You tell him, bowing your head in thanks. He sighs and holds your shoulders, making the two of you look at each other. “You’re crying. Are you alright?” He asks again, softer than before. His deep colored eyes bore into yours, searching for anything to indicate you were in any pain. You look back at him, confused as you touch your cheek. “I’m crying..” You muttered quietly. Why are you crying? You weren’t even hurt.. “I’m okay thanks to you, Chiba-Senpai. You saved my life.” You tell the boy in front of you, wiping your tears with your uniform sleeve. Mamoru looked at you carefully before letting you go, running a hand through his hair. “The car came out of nowhere.. Such reckless drivers” He muttered, looking towards the street then back to you. “Why are you walking alone so late at night?” He asks you gently as you flinch, seeing another car speed by. “Cram school ran later than usual tonight.. I couldn’t catch a bus home,” You answered him before continuing. “How about you? You didn’t go today so I assumed you were taking a break.” He shifts in his spot before letting a dry laugh escape from his chapped lips. He looked tired. “What? Did you miss me today?” He jokes lightly before shaking his head, “I slept past my alarm so I decided to not go.” He finally explained to you and you nodded. “So you slept past your alarm and now you’re just walking around in the middle of the night?” You questioned, half joking. It was a bit random to see him here, especially today. “I was heading to the convenience store for something to eat.” He points across the street you were just making your way over. The store is small and brightly lit with ugly bar lights but has many pre-made foods and snacks you tend to buy before you head home after a short day of classes. You head over back to where you were just standing and press the pedestrian walk button once again, Mamoru by your side. “Would you like to join me?” He asked out of nowhere, not bothering to look your direction. The wind blows a little harder and you can see a light fog gather near the ground as your cheeks heat up a bit. I’m cold, not blushing. You shrugged and nodded again. “Sure! I wanted something to drink anyway.” You answered in the most calm way you could. If only you saw the small smile that crawled onto his tired face. 
The light turns green and you look both ways before crossing, Mamoru following right next to you. It was quiet between you once again but, you didn’t mind. You were comfortable and content with your newfound friendship and it seemed he was too. Once you arrived at the storefront, he held the door open, causing you to raise a brow and bite back a smile as you walked in first. How gentlemanly, again. You took in the smell of the warm baked goods coming from the hot racks on the other side of the store, smiling to yourself at the warmth of the building overall. “It’s cold outside.” Mamoru says, pointing out the obvious as he heads over to the warm drinks. “Come, you wanted something to drink, right?” He asks you, handing you a cup as you walked over. “I didn’t think it would get so cold tonight..” You mumbled, looking through the warm drink selections. He sets his cup down and presses a button, a dark liquid filling the cup. “It’s too late at night to be drinking coffee, Chiba-Senpai” You state, choosing your own warm drink: hot chocolate. He looks over to you with a raised brow. “I thought only children like hot chocolate, Ryuu-San.” He answers you bluntly, catching you off guard. “Well it’s not like I want to drink coffee and stay up all night!! It’s late!” You try defending yourself, failing. He lets out a small laugh and takes your drinks and places them on the counter next to the drink machines. “It’s not terribly late yet” He says as he puts a lid on each of your drinks, handing you your hot chocolate. “You won’t be able to sleep anytime soon with that type of drink..” You answered, taking your cup. He moves over to the hot food rack, looking through the selections. “I’m sure I’ll manage.” He says simply, picking up a wrapped bun and reading the labels. You look over his shoulder and smile. “That’s a red bean bun! One of the best things they have here, in my opinion.” You tell him and he glances over to you for a split second before grabbing another one. “Do you only want your children’s drink?” He asks you playfully. You huffed and nodded, keeping your head up high. “Yes, I do. It’ll keep me warm while I walk home.” You answered and he nods, heading to the counter. He places the two warm buns on the counter and his drink, looking at the cashier. “I’ll pay for hers too” He says to the old man working the register who just nods. You looked at him, confused. “Wait what? I can pay for it myself!” You tell him and Mamoru simply shakes his head, shrugging off his big coat. “You can pay me back next time, it’s alright.” He says, carefully taking your drink from you. You stand there, confused as to why he’d willingly spend money on you. “Take this too, just until you get home.” He says, referring to his jacket. You shake your head almost aggressively, waving your hands in front of you. “I can’t do that! It’s too cold out, it’s yours!” You say to him, cursing your red cheeks. He looks at you blankly with a sigh, “Your uniform is too thin for tonight’s weather.” And, he was right. Your simple uniform blazer did little to nothing to keep you warm and your absence of long socks today left your legs victim to the wind. You looked at him with puffed out cheeks and took his coat, slipping it onto your small figure. It was huge in comparison to you but warm nonetheless. “Thank you..” You muttered, rubbing your cheeks gently in hopes to get the red away. Mamoru nodded and handed you your drink once again, along with a wrapped bun. You take both and look at him, confused. “You said you liked their red bean buns so it's yours” He says to you with a shrug and you smiled at him. “Thank you, Chiba-Senpai.” You say again as you guys make your way out of the store. 
It’s cold outside, less cold now that you have his coat and warm goodies in your hands. “How far is your place from here?” You asked him and he looks over to you. “A few minutes, less than 10.” He answers. “My apartment is two blocks away from here…” You paused, standing on your toes and pointing at your building. “That one right there.” You tell him and he nods. “I’ll walk you there, then.” He says to you and you simply nodded. “Do you live in that direction too?” You asked him as he starts walking, not waiting for you to finish your sentence. 
It goes quiet between the two of you again, the fog had turned into a light mist and the wind had mostly subsided. The cold no longer nipped at your thighs and your cheeks were red due to the cold, really. The street lights lit your path as he walked on the side of the road, keeping you shielded from the cars that passed by. Once you arrive to your building, you both stopped, taking in the suddenly loud silence. You held your goodies in one hand as you tried to slip off his coat to return it to him before he stops you. “Keep it for now” He says, shaking his head. “You can return it to me next time we see each other, alright?” You nodded, the mist fogging threw the street lights. “Thank you again, so much for everything tonight..” You tell him gratefully, bowing your head in thanks. “It’s not a problem at all, don’t worry.” He replies casually before taking a step back. “Please get home safe and get some rest tonight!” You tell him, opening the lobby doors. “Goodnight, Chiba-Senpai.” You say to him, walking in and feeling your face heat up once again, feeling your heart beat full. 
“Goodnight, Ryuu-San.”
