My Experimental Partner

Parings: Sou Hiyori (Midori) x GN! Reader

-----

Content Warning: mentions of death, bloody, spicy warning, stalking, spoilers for the game 3 a and b. You have been warned in advanced.

(I don’t own the picture)

Before the incident of the death game, you were in high school studying about programming, machinery, and more. Working secretly with the Asunaro company, you were going to be tasked to continue with your doll making project.

However, what you noticed is that green hair boy with a red scarf was staring at you in the distance. From what you can tell, he was interested into you since he noticed that you are different from the rest of the students. Cause of that he seems to be stalking you from a distance.

But you still do your mission. Even if it's disturbing.

Arriving at the company in secret, you are creating the possibility of making a doll. A doll that contains AI functions and how to transfer consciousness to a chip. A challenging progress to be sure, since it also contains the memory chip to either be full and the doll to be in its charging form without using the wires.

But with some help of the co-workers that possibility increased and it helps you to complete your research, but the next step to test out the possibilities is....

Find a suitable partner for the job.

That left you hanging but your boss and your co-workers allowed you to take a break and find a suitable partner since they noticed that you are running blanks. You merely want to brush off how you are feeling but they won’t like it, so you had no other choice but to accept it.

You did have a relaxing 1 week vacation thanks to them giving you more money, but finding a suitable partner isn’t easy to find.

Sure there is that one green hair boy who is stalking you almost everyday which you clearly don't care, but you aren’t sure if he actually okay with it. Plus he does have his family there which it could be a ba-!!

“Hello there!”

“!!!!”

And then you saw him, standing in front of you.

“It’s strange to see you outside of the club. I was wondering where have you been!” He said but his expression remains the same, just a simple smile but an unusual standing position. Which you can tell that he looks perfect for the job.

“...”

You are surprised but at the same time, would it be an opportunity?

“Right I almost forgot my manners, I am Sou Hiyori! How about you?”

“(y/n) (l/n).”

For a guy, he seems to be clingy. “Haha, nice to meet you (y/n).” He did spend his time talking to you. However, he was silent for a while once you finished listening to him, but it seems that he doesn’t know what else to say. So it is your turn to say something.

“May I ask you for something?”

That made him happy when you spoke up.

“Is it a date?”

“No.”

“I was kidding!”

But you knew what to say since now it is an opportunity to make him your suitable partner, even if it means separating him from his family.

“A trade actually. Something that you might like.”

===========

Ever since you gave him the offer, he immediately became your experimental partner since what you ask him had gained his attention. He began to help you in the experiment which helps create with the preparation for the death game.

It is something that he actually wanted, since he immediately becomes a researcher searching on human emotions while you act as his boss. But it's strange that he stalks you in the first place...

He was a madman they say, and it was correct that your project WILL turn him to half human half doll. Which it was something that he wanted, but poor other co-workers who were killed by him from a simple picture. But your not complaining since you kinda predicted it.

But since you requested him to find suitable targets for an AI simulator. Sou has been messing around with other people while you continue on your research helping the others creating Sue Miley and Tia Safalin.

As much as you appreciate that Hiyori accepted your trade, that also means that you have to get ready to endless annoying conversation with Hiyori more often. But is that a problem? Especially when he gives you some useful info, there is no way you can ignore him.

“So I have to wear this collar?”

“Mhm, it collects data from your consciousness and converts it to an AI Or it could be used to kill the user.”

“Hmmm.....but that alone is a lie you know, you could have use a different function aside from that! That would be boring!”

“But would it also possible to mess with people’s brains?”

You can see that he uses with his usual smile, but inside of it was an intense bloodlust. But you decided to continue the conversation.

"Well that is funny cause I was planning on that. However, keep this in mind if you die and your AI chip dies you are 100% dead.” You said which cause Hiyori’s smile to fade away now knowing the consequences.

“Yes it’s possible. IF they have their first death. You can tamper their memory to have amnesia.”

“....”

Hiyori picked up the documents that you have been using for research, you checked the pc programming to see how will the program will activate. “Say (y/n), what happens if we can mess with their brains if they wore the collar?”

You looked at him, “Like tampering with their brains when they are unconscious for around 24 hours? Not possible since there is not enough info... Plus adding more useless memories can make things weird.” That made Midori goes back to his usual smile.

“Collar or not, we will find a way to tamper with their brains just to make sure the game is interesting! I can't wait to join there!”

You and Hiyori had a laugh together in the room, knowing that the death game is coming. Which actually caught Midori to be intrigued at the sight.

“You know (y/n), it is my first time to hear you laugh! It is cute!!!”

“.....”

You were not expecting that you have use your emotion you feel him going near you. “Come on, let me hear you laugh!” His hands were on your waist feeling his fingers tickling you, which got you laughing which he watches you laughing in defeat.

He didn’t chuckle but his smile still remains, smirking that he got the upper advantage. Thinking that he is going to kill you, but instead you felt his lips kissing you. Sadly it was short, but his face remained the same, but you swore that you see a tint of red on his ears.

“Let me claim my reward, won’t you?”

You were speechless but he was amused, leaning closer just for him to close the gap.

===========

“After all, I wanted to test something on you (y/n) since I need MY reward for you generous offer. I need it before the project begins, dear~”

He wanted this sensation to end and you let him, stripping you out of your shell shamelessly for rounds of French kissed. The rest was pure shameless, even co-workers have to keep their distance knowing that there is two psychopaths having a session.

That room was purely occupied for around 5 hours, dismantling his body and preparing the doll after the session.

It's funny, knowing the stalker Midori followed you all the way to the death game that he wanted.

You know it's not love nor happiness, you rarely feel it. The plan was to divert Midori's attention to something else and yet it worked. You watched from the game from start to the third part of the game "trust".

Since you predicted his death, you are PREPARED with a final spare that you made in secret.

An amusing sight it was, Midori gambling his life to the fullest while Sara was desperate to kill him. You can tell that you are not going to miss him despite all the hickies and kisses he gave you, after all...

You hate to admit that you love him unconditionally.

You saw how his death unfolded with a another spare clone finish eating out, of course you block out his screams from his coffin which gave you a dark chuckle that you held for so long. But that vision was replace by his face when he appear, just how you meet him in person for the first time.

"(Y/n), dear. Sara and the others are coming soon. You will be next~"

Your spare clone said as had an amused chuckle, "Prepare her in advance dear. I would like to introduce her to Sara once she arrives."

HI HI PEACE PEACE :DD IDK if request are still open but ive been obsessed with how you write, the potrayal on how you write the characters always makes me giggle and i wanted to know if you could write a Midori scenario where hes just gushy about readers plushy collection!!! Him just coohing at it and literally explodes when reader gives one away for him to cherish, mf is there like 'GOD GOD CAN I REALLY?+?#**@*'*@' .I am slowly gathering so many and i needed to fill my brain with more midori content brrr. this turn into a ramble oops

"PLUSHIE BUDDIES!" midori t. x gn!reader

genre — fluff

a/n — AWE THANK YOU SO MUCH! also first full midori request… i hope i dont butcher him too much LMAOO also i'm really sorry on how long this took AHH that’s mostly on me because i procrastinate, like alot…

warning(s) / notes — slightly ooc midori

at first, midori wasn't sure about coming over for the first time. he was nervous. he isn't good with people, let alone, coming over to their house with even more people in it— which are your parents, or siblings, if you have any. either way, he's unsure and is constantly overthinking any possible scenarios that may occur.

after multiple convincing from you, and maybe morisawa (after he overheard you inviting him to come over), midori finally gave in. "i’ll come over after school, i guess…" he sighs, knowing that he can't win against you, or morisawa.

truth is, he also wanted to spend time with you alone. yet, he can't help but still feel nervous. it doesn't help knowing that your parents might be home. what if they don't like him? what if he makes a bad impression and they tell you to break up with him?

"midori—?" your boyfriend snapped out of his thoughts the moment your finger poked his arm. he turned his tired gaze towards you and softly (barely) smiled. "we're here. my parents shouldn't be home until six, so don't worry about it too much, yeah?"

'thank. fucking. god.' he thought. "a-ah.. alright. thanks for inviting me, [name]." you could only smile at his response, gesturing him to come inside once you unlocked the door and stepped inside. "should i leave my shoes here?" midori asked quietly, putting his shoes on the empty space of the shoe rack as you responded with a simple hum.

"you can go in my room, it's the first door down that hall. i'll prepare us some snacks before we study~!" you happily hopped your way to the kitchen, starting to prepare the snacks that you’ve been longing to share with your boyfriend.

oh, the moment midori enters your room, his eyes WIDENED. he's getting excited and felt happiness rush through his veins. 'is this… heaven?' he gushed, walking towards your shelf full of your plushies that couldn’t fit in your bed. "i never knew [name] collected these…" he muttered, still admiring the shelf as he sat down on your bed.

"hm? midori, you like plushies too?" your boyfriend shrieked, a blush creeping up his face. you could only chuckle at his reaction, putting down the tray of snacks on the coffee table in the middle of your room.

"a-ah.. well, uh.." he stammered, avoiding your gaze. this is embarassing… "maybe…" he sighed, shoulders dropping. you let out a small giggle, which made the blush displayed all over his face worsened. "don’t tease me about it too much, please."

you shook your head, grabbing the biggest plushy you had within your collection. "here!" casually, you handed him the soft squishmallow, his eyes widening in surprise. "keep it. consider it… as a welcome gift for coming over~"

midori explodes in happiness as he gently took the plushy from your hands. "really? i can really have this?"

it was adorable, really. you could instantly tell how happy midori had gotten just by giving him the squishmallow. you nod your head. to your surprise, midori flashes you the brightest smile that you had ever seen him make— throwing himself onto you as he grabbed your face with both his hands.

"thank you, [name]! i’ll cherish it forever!"

domming the shit outta midori pls bcs theres a lack of midori content

Midori as a sub

cw: (nsfw/18+, sub!midori, dom!reader, gender ambiguous reader)

-Midori is absolutely adorable, I cannot stress this enough.

-He's so patient with whatever you need, he'll listen to you for as long as you need, even if he finds it boring at times, he finds you fascinating, and that's good enough for him.

-He is hard on himself, though. He often feels that he's not enough for you, that he doesn't deserve you, that he's not a good boyfriend, that he's just not doing his part, you do everything for him.

-But that's not true, of course. Midori does a lot for you.

-He makes you dinner, he looks after you, he comes up close to you to beg for kisses every time the two of you find yourselves alone together. In some ways, Midori is really a fantastic househusband, and he really would be.

-One of my all-time favorite headcanons about Midori as a sub is that when he gets overwhelmed, he clings onto one of his mascot plushes for support.

-You'll go through each one, asking him which he wants for today, which one would he feel most comfortable with today. Mr. Carrot? The shark? Maybe even the tanuki?

-Suck him off while he clutches it. While he peers down to look at your lips wrapped around his cock, embarrassed beyond belief that he wants to look, that he wants to do this in front of all of them, in front of his collection.

-It's so embarrassing, he's so pathetic, but it's so comforting, and it feels so good, how could he say no to that?

First of all, good luck with your finals! 💕

Also may I please request how Midori would act with a crush? Thanks in advance!

Thank you anon!! My finals were... a thing, but I passed and graduated so that's what counts, thank you so much💕

And of course, I hope you enjoy your request!

With a crush

Midori Takamine

Oh sweet Midori, stuck with a crush on you. It’s not like he can help it though, you’re just so nice and cute and he’s never met someone like you before, how frustrating~

He tries his best to hide, it would only be a bother if anyone else were to find out about this crush, Chiaki would not shut up about it if he found out. You especially shouldn’t find out about this crush, it would only make things more complicated.

Yet, he can’t help but look in your direction whenever you walk by or he notices you sitting somewhere. Let his mind wander to the thought of you possibly liking him as well, no way that’s too optimistic.

But it’s not like he can keep these feelings just sitting there without doing anything about them… it wouldn’t be wrong to say that he couldn’t sleep at night thinking about this dilemma.

It doesn’t take too long to realize that this isn’t just a simple crush that goes away after a while, but the thought of telling you his feelings makes him feel uneasy.

He still likes being around you, that won’t change at any point, he cares a lot about you♡

But to tell you his feelings? He still isn’t sure about it…

skitters in here...midori (enstars, just in case) with an S/O who's good at cooking and baking? and just any odd cute hcs you may have in general, please have fun w it! :)

thank you!

(and if I may ask, can I be 🍰 anon? )

୨୧ ; BAKING COOKIES FOR MY LOVE!

GN reader ☆ YOU/YOURS

?! - NONE! pure fluff

୨୧ ; yes you may! welcome aboard 🍰 anon!

୨୧ - he kinda just sticks with you most of the time (unless he has to do idol work), sitting in the corner of the kitchen as you bake random pastries for your friends and him. he tried helping, key word tried, but ended up being more harm than good so you just let him lick the spoons and sit in the corner as you talk about whatever is happing in your life currently.

୨୧ - when you two became baking buddies (more baking done by you), you two were just two people that happened to be in the same place at the same time. and friends, that too. he normally hung out there since it was quiet and he’d only get a bit surprised by the sounds of pans moving and mixing, but he’s able to tune it out. queue a few months, maybe even a year or two, into your friendship. suddenly the kitchen is off limits to you.

୨୧ - he’s in there causing a fire, a ruckus, and more importantly the reason of his sudden interest in you. baked goods.

୨୧ - two small cookies were all that were left. chiaki helped but chiaki also isn’t the best baker, so he just hopes they taste like strawberries instead of burnt sadness. he puts them in a little bag, writing a small note containing his feelings, and speed walks to you. chiaki and kaoru are standing in the background with proud smiles as midori goes to confess.

୨୧ - who knew strawberries could taste so lovely

Sou Hiyori/Midori and Shin Tskimi + Goth reader = <3

Sou Hiyori/Midori + Shin tsukimi {Separated!!] Dating a Goth Female Reader headcanons

Sou Hiyori/Midori

Don't expect that much attention from him cause he'll be to busy trying to get the people whos playing the death game. literally if you want any attention from him you'll have to bother him while working, Not matter how many times he tell you he's busy You'll just keep bothering him till he gives in.

This man.. Barleys gives you any affection. Cuddles? Not till he's done with his work, A simple peak on the lips? Not till he's done with his work, Video games? Not till he's not with work. I'm surprised your still with him at this point.

He finds your goth style unique, Sometimes He'll make little jokes calling you Sad little punk girl or just dumb nickname, Yeah sometimes you might get offended by his jokes then he'll tell you to take a joke then you'll tell to make an actual good joke.

He enjoys going out with you, Just seeing you happy and that happiness was caused by just makes him feel lucky to have but would never tell you that. but would buy you anything you want.

Every time he actual has time away from work it's the worst times cause he'll randomly just tell you he's taking a break from work and you have to tell him you already have plans with a friend, Makes you cancel all your plans at the last minute just to have you all to himself.

Sou really doesn't like your friends and think you should have friends cause soon or later you'll be in a death game with him and won't be able to contact your friends but you won't be playing just there watching and staying near Sou.

------------------------------

Shin tsukimi

This all takes place before the death game

So like You love him but like.. you kind of wish he wasn't a job-hopper. You have no problems with Job-hoppers you just wish Shin didn't change his job every 2 months even though he knows you don't like it and he prays you don't leave him cause he's a job-hopper even though you told him multiple times you won't leave. He just doesn't want to lose his first girlfriend.

Unlike Sou, Shin will give you all his affection! You want Kiss on the lips before he goes to work? He'll hesitant at first cause he's shy but will kiss you, You wanna cuddle after he gets back from his night shift? Sure he'll love to! Wanna play video games? He's already player one, You wanna go out shopping? ..Sorry but he'll rather stay inside then go out so you gonna have to call a friend if you wanna go shopping.

He really like your goth style. He's not trying to be a pervert or anything but he like short black skirts you wear, He finds them cool but won't tell you cause he doesn't want you to get the wrong idea. Sometimes when you come from shopping with a friend and you get home you'll make Shin look at the new outfits you buy and have his opinion.. Barleys pay attention and tells you look good in all of the clothes, he's just getting sleepily at this point.

When He has a day where he doesn't have work, He'll spend the whole day with you, Watching Movies, Play video games, Sleeping together, Cuddling, Making out A few soft kisses here and there basically just a lovey day at home with a amazing girlfriend<3

But When Shin is feeling like the day and the weather is good and has no work and a lot of money left over and he feeling good.. He'll actually go out and take you on date with him, Does everything you want to do even if you ask him if he wants to do something he'll just say anything you want to do but sooner or later he'll start saying he wants to go home.

{ Please don't post my work anywhere else on tumblr and other Websites/Apps without my permission }

👥KEIJI;SOU(MIDORI)&SHIN(SOU) CONFESSING TO THEIR S/O!~

KEIJI

🔹Ahh our dear mr policeman falling head over heels for you! How sweet huh?

🔹I feel like Keiji's "friendly" flirting with you here and there actually developed into a strong 'crush'! I wish you could see his face when he realized..

🔹Anyway- Keiji likes when things aren't pushed aside for the last minute, so he decides to confess after a week or two from him finding out how he feels about you.

🔹When he was "courting" you earlier you never seemed grossed out nor uncomfortable, and actually you played along. That's a GOOD sign for him since there's a chance you'd actually accept him!

🔹So my dear reader, don't get surprised when a fellow police officer shows up at your doorstep with a rose or two..and that charming smile of his..

"Good mornin', your friendly policeman here is in a need of a company right now ahah..Would you care to accept if he dared to ask you out perhaps?"

SHIN

🔹Shin, Shin, Shin...how pathetic of him to catch feeling..right?

🔹He never thought, that after Midori he'll be able to trust someone so much..but here you are huh?

🔹He's confused, flustered and excited at once. How can a smeary loner like him get his feelings reciprocated? He thinks that he's not good enough for you yet, the thought of loosing his chance still pains.

🔹Finally he decides to talk with you about how he feels. He puts on some clean clothing, nice smelling cologne and most importantly, a true smile.

🔹You two were casually hanging out in your usual spot, you know doing stuff, when he decided to bring up the topic..

"Hey uhh..I have to admit that I..like you more than most people I ever met and..I was wondering..If I saved some extra money, would you like to grab some coffee?"

SOU

🔹Ahahah..Sou sweet Sou..No. Not that sweet let's be real. You two were co-workers for the company of course, and he had to admit..you caught his eye WELL.

🔹He didn't think of it as a crush, just simple adoration and respect from afar. BUT- He could feel his left eye twitch everytime you spoke a bit TOO friendly with other workers.

🔹He has to intervene before someone steals you completely from him, and he wouldn't like that scenario.Then it hits him. It's MORE than just adoration and respect.

🔹He plans every single step on his confession. He's a master of manipulation and act, what did you expect? He'll give you the best speech possible to make you say yes! Most likely..ehem..

🔹Sou won't lie tho, he is a bit nervous but masks it under his usual creepy smile. On a normal day he brings you coffee to your office. There's a small heart on top of it..aww..

🔹When you raise your eyebrow at him, confused what he's up to he shrugs it off..that lettuce head bastard..

"Oh it's nothing truly! Just me caring for my co-worker! Although..no, co-worker is not the word of my choice hmm..How about..we became partners instead? Hm hm?~ Would youu like that?~ If you're not sure please care to meet me in my office so we could discuss it more..privately."

HI HIII! HOPE Y'ALL ENJOYED THIS ONE!🩵 FEEL FREE TO REQUEST YTTD CAUSE I LOVEE WRITING FOR ITT!!🐦

#your turn to die x reader #your turn to die #yttd x reader #yttd #shin tsukimi x reader #shin tsukimi #sou hiyori #sou hiyori x reader #midori yttd #keiji shinogi #yttd keiji #keiji shinogi x reader

SAPPY AND THUMPING HEARTBEAT!

ft. (separate) Mayoi Ayase, Midori Takamine, Tsumugi Aoba.

This took me ar.4 days while studying their character, sorry if they're not still exactly on point wee ;( not beta read.

°°``summary: they like you but doesn't take things further when you suddenly become their very drive to a new point of relationship.

°°``Marked as and included with: fluff, angsty kind of, Mayoi being a silly creeper guy.., stalking implied but not extreme, self-deprecating humor... Just a few heads up, nothing too much ^^ also, I'm thinking the timeline for this is in !!/Music era

Mayoi Ayase

The one who takes things slow like baby steps while feeling that he doesn't deserve you. At the beginning, insistently asking if you maybe want to reconsider and apologizing because he have become your very wrong choice. Even though he was just pleased watching out for you from afar like the secret admirer he is... But, please don't misunderstand, he's actually has been dreaming this moment! He just can't help it that he still always have thoughts of your breakup in various worst case scenarios and he every so often compulsively expresses it. Holding onto your trust in him, he's slowly learning and working to be the best boyfriend so the chances of you leaving him is decreased.

Dating with Mayoi involves...

➻❥ Lots of understanding and reassurance coming from either both of you. He can easily pick up on your social cues, thus knowing instantly what would make you uncomfortable (even if he sometimes misunderstands thinking he's the source of it) and handle the situation well in a way your worries will be left scurrying off♪ so, please go easy on him whenever he makes any mistakes and goes on apologizing while belittling himself profusely about it.

➻❥ Acts of service. Even without you telling him, he can be unexpectedly a gentleman, shown through little gestures that would make him sound as if he's lesser than you although he means well. You wouldn't need to open a door by yourself and dirtying your hand with the unknown doorknob that have been in many people's hands so let him be the sacrifice since he's already not that 'clean' himself. Wiping your sweat off your face? Leave it to him, it's always been a dream to have a close up on your face he could die happily. The very same guy who would also lay on the road when you have to step over a puddle please stop him

➻❥ Physical touch. Depends after he learns that you've grown comfortable enough with him. Sometimes when you merely complimenting or acknowledging his efforts, he would tear up and hug you, saying you shouldn't be so kind to him since he wouldn't be able to hold himself back from spoiling you with all of his physical affection he could muster... He swears his heart could give out yet his grin is that of the most giddy man living if you're the one who would initiate it first. Surprisingly sudden yet tender in his advances.

➻❥ Vague menacing flirts; “Times like this makes me raring to put my beating heart out on your plate I wish my ribcage is a closet easily opened by you.”

“I feel so complete being with... you, I wouldn't mind having you wear my skin if I could.”

➻❥ Vulnerable, trembling kisses that barely graze your lips before slowly securing the right position with them, placing the effect of a stillness in space and time. Mayoi would muster up the best kiss he could give and still apologize if that one kiss isn't that good to you. He's not one to refuse for more kisses if you so wish, a better result he promises.

➻❥ Messy morning and evening text of 'i love you's accompanied by little cute emoticons along with specific cautionary expressing his worry 'Please always look both way when crossing the road!' or 'Please be careful of having your phone out in the public... it might get snatchedd or worse I'm sorry'

➻❥ You braiding his hair, him pampering you by styling your hair or giving you some accessories to decorate your outfit. His gifts are mostly sparkling trinkets he found from the ES vents secret rooms, stuffed animals, and little diorama of your anniversaries with him.

➻❥ Domestic indoor type of dates at home where this man is more like personal servant sometimes waking you up and making breakfast or dinner. Occasionally on some uneventful days though, there are other times you realize that he really is still your boyfriend.

~~~

A gentle greeting hangs up in the air, not reaching your ears even as he crouches down and peeks to you from the foot of your bed. He then creeps toward the side and now watches your rythmic breathing, feeling bad for what he's about to do but reminding himself that it's for the sake of you too.

“(Name)... Wakey-wakey... I'm so sorry I have to disturb you out of your beauty sleep. I know I'm only an annoying pest but please—umm, you're not.. no, no, you have to wake up. I have prepared you breakfast...” he whispers, nervously frowning.

“Yesh... just wait.” Stirring awake, you mumble before staying silent again. Giving you a few minutes as he admires your face, he soon shakes his head fervently. “Th-this can't do... (Name), you're perfectly fine with it, then, right? I'm sorry, ple-please don't mind, you can hit me all you want or banish me later though I would rather you—In a-a-anyy case! Pardon me...”

He slithers under your sheets knowing you aren't getting up any sooner, cuddling and nuzzling to you with hopes that you would be bothered enough to wake up. Yet, Mayoi wants this moment stay for as long as it could basking in your overall blissful presence.

Chuckling to him, you reply. “Gee, that just makes me want to sleep in more.”

He beams before sitting upright while holding your hands, accompanied by a bright smile rivaling the sun. “Th-that makes me flattered, hehe maybe we can—oh, no no (Name), you can do it, just one step away and getting closer to facing this day, please.” A hopeful tone lace his rushed sentence.

“Okay, what about my morning kiss as the final push?” you ask, pointing to your cheek.

Stammerring abashedly, he closes and opens his mouth. “..I, I can't simply-! No really, I mean... I was thinking of saving it fo-for later... But, it can't be helped if it's your wish...”

With eyes tightly shut, he pecks your cheek then shuffles down from the bed. “Now, with that, please get ready soon.” he offers his hand out for you to support. “I'm all yours.”

Midori Takamine

The one who would begrudgingly goes with the flow you brought about and giving his all. Despite all the complaining of 'why does it have to be him' and 'what do you even see in him', he would've felt worse if he just refuse this very chance that might be the green sign he has been seeking for him to go forward. Midori starts feeling more at ease going out with you, while keeping his doubts to himself about you choosing a better partner than him and feeling he may as well end this dating stuff. But that would be just a bad move to go through. Because, in the end... how can he even avoid you when you're filled with expectant hopes of him like that?

Dating with Midori involves...

☘๑ His intimidating mild discomfort and informal words with actions that speak more even as he sighs often. Things would be way less difficult liking you who weren't that interested in him before and settle with having mascot characters that's similar to you... He just can't get how you have this deep a trust leaving the rest of things or counting on him to do them. Also feels like he's high in cloud nine or something whenever he manages to lift your mood. It's a simple one, but the most satisfying achievements he have ever done in his entire life, besides pretty much being known as, well, the vegetable boy. His sighs sounds more relieved with a fond smile around you...

☘๑ Acts of service. More of from your side with his greengrocer business going on. Midori does still return the favor whenever he could and it's usually out of willingness if he offers. A bit different story if you're the one who ask him first because he might just label it as a pain but you can help yourself just fine which means borrowing him as he won't refuse lending you a hand.

☘๑ Quality time. Hanging out in his room while reading casually some comics together and commenting on tidbits of it or just simply enjoying your company is all what he needs. He's not that creative enough with supportive words or reaching out to provide some physical affections (though he won't push away your affection if you do the latter first), but he's there and will always be your pillar to lean on. Every break or day off where he could be alone with you while free from works is one of his favorites. He always try to not do some tasks around those moments since he would just get stressed out because of it and instead simply sharing his attention and efforts on you.

☘๑ Veggies. Free and the freshest only. He would give you some that reminds him of you or if he could imagine you as an herbivore animal...

☘๑ Rushed one-lip kiss and pecks because he's so not wanting to deal with his heart going crazy so he would rather make it quic. Things like this takes him a lot of energy and it's better than messing anything up anyway... Except when you're not satisfied, then he would try giving you what you want by picking up the rest from where you lead.

☘๑ Pictures sent by him taking a picture of some plush mascot key strap hanging from a random person's bag. Aside from that, casual texts from time to time asking 'where are you. if you can, dont make me search...' > (meaning so he could get to you faster).

☘๑ Insecurities intimate talk. He was and sometimes does still speak about his own misery and melancholic view, but lately because you've become a source of his consideration, he's more focused on your complaints and agreeing with whatever he relates to. Other times, he will keep silent since he doesn't want—more than anything—being your burden, thinking it would be too much for you on those particular heavy days to him. He can't bear it if you frankly get sick of him, even when he also feel at the same time, you would be better off saving your time and leave him for someone else more... better or not a loser like him. But if you aren't bothered and still wants to lend him an ear, he might express them, all the while hugging tight his favorite plush mascot character to try sparing most negativity away from you. He isn't against receiving some of your comfort, even if that would take some time for him to get used to.

☘๑ Besides indoor dates, there's a mascot character hunt type of date with an example of going to the arcade in some days off or as a celebration of his live success. Such as on one night...

~~~

The arcade isn't that rowdy this night where it could come as suffocating and it's just perfect for him. You both walk further into the section of claw machines for the stuffed animal and all kind of mascots behind the glass, waiting for the next seizer.

“So... Are we gonna start any soon now?” his eyes are already locked on a particular machine filled with vegetable mascots.

Earlier, you have challenged him into a competition where the winner who have caught the most will receive all catch from the loser.

“Yep, go crazy, we'll meet again here in an hour.” you reply, leaving him who answered an energetic 'okay' before he runs over to the machine not far away on the right side.

Not long after, he soon have gotten three of his targets finally in his hands after many determined tries. There's suddenly a surprised 'wahh' voice sounding near by his side which causes him to press the button at the wrong time and as the result, the claw misses. “Uuh... It was so close too dammit, so annoying, wanna die...” he mumbles, looking down in despair when that same voice revealed to be a little boy speaks out.

“You're great, big stranger brother! Can you please catch some for me?”

An hour later on your way to the meeting point, you catch a little boy carrying a round bag full of mascots running with a big smile from the way where you meet Midori. He's scratching his head awkwardly while holding three plushies in his left arm. “Well... This is all I got.” he sighs, gesturing to the plushies.

“Oh, I also got three, luckily... what happened though?”

He glances between the plushies you have and at the floor. “Got too carried away winning for that boy earlier, so the others were...” his gaze soon return to your face with a slightly agape mouth. “Wait... Three, does that mean it's a tie?”

You nod. “Yeah! Oh, no, wait, the catch you did before still counts too, you're practically the winner. So, here. These are cute but I had fun just playing.” Handing them out to him, he instead shakes his head and pushes them back.

“No, no, thanks, you don't need to though really... I would just feel bad. The final fair results is the one we have in our hands right now.” he then smiles, “I still had fun too, anyway. I think my inner child just healed, thinking that boy reminds me of the childhood. At least, all the mascots have found their place in each of a happy owner. That's why, I could trust them to you.” On the rest way back, you can tell from how he sounds eager telling you fun facts and the backstories of each plushies you have, that it was indeed a fun time for the both of you.

Tsumugi Aoba

Similar to Mayoi, Tsumugi would be unsure how to pick up the initiative and if he's befitting of a love life. That's why, as long as he can help you from time to time and indulging in the warm feelings from seeing you happy is already a lot enough than what he could ask. More so, he feels responsible, mixed with bitter guilt that you have decided to choose him of all people... But he will try not to disappoint you and does his best, though in that aspect he somehow still acts like a friend with benefits most of the time, who doesn't seem to be treating you any different than others. That's until you find his acts are more apparent in multiplied forms and earnest expressions like your treatment is the result of being placed at the top of his world.

Dating with Tsumugi involves...

❁♡‧₊˚ His inviting aura that lets you reach out to him easily for anything you might need or if you're encountering some difficulties, even when he's in the middle of doing something, it's important to hear you out no matter what it is and think about how he can help. Unless there's some urgent work needing his attention firstmost, he would apologize with a disappointed frown, offering to plan another time between the tight schedule where he can aid you completely so he would really appreciate your patience. He would make it up to you, and he does, more than what you expect even. It feels like he has such motherly vibes, because he could be bringing the drinks you want along with some refreshments too for the discussions. You don't even realize a small torn part on your jacket until Tsumugi tells you and offers to sew it, he doesn't mind because he could show off his ability.

❁♡‧₊˚ Words of affirmation flows smoothly from him the second you seem troubled or depressed until your thoughts can be tidied and held under your capability of control again that it's easy to feel reassured. Although, it would be a lot harder were you the one to give such words because he would deflect almost any with an appreciative smile and expression about him who is undeserving of them. He'd rather you share such kind things to others who may need it more or it could serve as a good reminder worth keeping to yourself.

❁♡‧₊˚ Acts of service, naturally. You have his full attention, always compassionate in assisting you. Furthermore, his assistance is accompanied by a relaxed chat with you. He can even manage the tasks you have to be processed in order, becoming less overwhelming and tying them with how you do things so you can do them without difficulty. Do use him to your heart's content~ it makes him happy if you especially depend on him, no trouble at all. If you're the one who try to help him, he wouldn't let you do so if he can, he's supposed to be the dependable one after all... Eventually he caves in and feels motivated to finish his work faster, though.

❁♡‧₊˚ Talk for long hours, like any topic, any reminiscing, will keep you chatting on and on with him because they just give you many thoughts to think about and experience in a useful way. Those topics would time to time include him mentioning the past with a cheery tone, yet concealing the heavy implications within... But, you don't need to think too deeply about it. Besides, he's okay, and still thinking about the future in a hopeful manner, too. It's just like any other day and have the similar tone to one would speak about the weather today.

❁♡‧₊˚ Occasionally, you would receive lucky charms and your lucky item for the day from him when the morning is about to start. He would also offer to do a reading on your fortune with the intentions of helping you get ready facing the day ahead. Even if you don't believe in any spiritual part of them, he would like it if you keep the charms or item for him. So his feelings for you could stay safe in your hands everywhere you go and whenever you take a look at them, you would be reminded of him♪ that's what he would like to think, at least... He's also fine of throwing them away and not giving them to you again, he can find another way that would make you more pleased.

❁♡‧₊˚ Forehead kisses, soft and not too impudent for him to do. He's saving the deep kind on the lips for a better day and event such as birthdays or celebrations when he could feel like he's worthy of them. He would let you give those kisses as many as you like, but he wouldn't return them back, unless it's the time.

❁♡‧₊˚ A bouquet of flowers on every and each date with different color and type to commemorate the particular events on that day, on that note he would explain the message they symbolize if you like :) They're good as a build-up for the atmosphere, too. Even so, please excuse him being a little bit dense in the wrong moment sometimes. He can focus too much on making you happy it's almost like everything is about you rather than as a date of you and him; going any places you want to go, treating you to the food, bringing you drinks...

❁♡‧₊˚ Library and bookstore dates are his go-to usually. Even if books were not your interest, his presence already does much to make the experience fun and rewarding. Besides that, he likes visiting few diners with their special steamed red sweet buns which are his favorite. The moment he mentioned it with such a happy satisfied smile, you realize it would be good to buy him some especially on this late night in the library.

~~~

Already covered by his own blanket, he was slowly dozing off at the second you call his name out. “EEP—sorry I'm not... Oh, (name), it's only you. Your voice sounded so soft I thought a ghost was whispering to me, you see.” he smiles sheepishly. “Is there anything you need? You should go to sleep soon... though I'm not the right person to be saying this, huh, ahaha.”

Putting a tea on the long table, you then give him a wrapped box which he accepts. “Enjoy them while it's hot, let me handle your work.”

“Is this...” he leans his head closer to the box, eyes widening in realization of a faint smell wafting from the box. “Ah, I know this smell anywhere! Thank you, (name). For the tea and the buns. But I didn't do any work, it's only a few lesson plans needing to be reviewed. I'm almost done with them. I have troubled you enough...” The still closed box is laid down on his lap.

“Yeah, right, your eyes are almost done sleeping there too. Let me handle them if they're only few left.” you take a seat from his side.

“I have a much better idea, how about we eat this buns together? I don't think I would be able to keep myself awake if I'm left alone while you're focusing on them.” He moves the box up on the table, closing the distance between you and him while he wraps the blanket around you. “There we go. Today was really exhausting, but I managed to finish all the works. Well, except that one. Fufu, what reason do you have for staying up late?”

“..nothing much, just worried about you.”

He takes a bite from one of the buns, humming delightfully. “How thoughtful of you like always. I'm glad to be the one who occupy your mind at this time, thought I can't say I like the thought of worrying you.” Finishing a piece, he then leans on your shoulder. “I can still get some sleep and, I will be revitalized enough now that you're here. Tomorrow too, with the warmth and care you provide me, I can try working harder again as usual. I don't think I could ever repay you back even with this insignificant love I have compared to the dearest you. But, I hope you can still accept my best everything of efforts for your happiness...”

# MORNINGS WITH RYUSEITAI

chiaki morisawa x reader, kanata shinkai x reader, shinobu sengoku x reader, tetora nagumo x reader, midori takamine x reader

chiaki morisawa ;

will STEAL your blanket. if he ever sees you freezing, he’ll drape his blanket to you… for him to steal it again afterwards (he didn’t mean it) will pepper your face with kisses every morning (he never misses a schedule) will pull you back in his arms if you ever get up to get ready for work

kanata shinkai ;

if he wakes up earlier than you, he’ll hum you a tune — not to wake you up, but for you to sleep even more. his voice is calming to some extent, like hypnosis. if he ever wakes you up, he’ll greet you with a smile and tells you to go back to sleep. but if you reaaaally need to get up to get ready, he'll help you with a smile on his face. making you breakfast is his favourite part of the morning

shinobu sengoku ;

will greet you with a very ‘good morning!’ with your things ready, and breakfast on the table. he doesn’t know whether to give affection first thing in the morning (he's just embarrassed), so an act of service will at least help everything up !

tetora nagumo ;

is VERY loud. every movement he does makes a sound. will apologize if he ever wakes you up, though. he’ll give you a pat and tells you to go back to sleep. and he’ll still apologize, saying he won’t make any noise again

midori takamine ;

his mind is at 100 mph in the morning. should he hug you? should he… give you kisses? who knows. he lets his intrusive thoughts win every morning. he hugs you like a giant teddy bear, not ready to let you go. will apologize afterwards, saying a mouthful of apology — even after you reassure him. he will cook you breakfast as a peace offering (or a love language)

Hihhii,, can u do Takamine Midori accidentally blurting out their crush on a ryuseitai practice , then the rest of the homies give out advice but midori is like "no. I'm gonna get over this eventually." But then one day!! I don't know both of u guys hang out like walking in the hallway while carrying things to practice (or anything) then he suddenly blurts out that he has a crush on the reader!! Reader feels he same and yay((imagine the other members watching them too aw))

OUT OF MY LEAGUE !

SUMMARY. for better or for worse, midori finds that he could never be mad at you.

FEATURING. midori takamine

NOTES. lowercase, reader is gn, chiaki and kanata are still third years here, chiaki uses the word “girlfriend” once ( in reference to himself ), no angst just fluff, again not proofread sorry !!

GUESS WHOS BACK !!! anon haiiii !!!! so sorry for making you wait so long ahakskshdhshd hope you enjoy !!!!

if there’s one thing midori is sure of, it’s that he could drop dead at this very second and he wouldn’t even mind it one bit.

of course, that’s an exaggeration. but if he could hide away for the rest of his life until he was forgotten from everyone’s memory, that would also be a nice alternative. because as much as he appreciates you, you always have a tendency to make him go red in the face—whether intentionally or not.

you weren’t trying to embarrass him—nothing you ever do is purposefully malicious. but really, he wishes sometimes you were a little more self aware. not only for his sake, but for your own as well. those other guys never think before they act, and it’ll only be a matter of time before they start asking you questions instead of him.

midori doesn’t know what he’d do in that scenario. a part of him says to crawl into a hole and die, another part of him say to just suck it up and deal with the shame like he deserves. midori—of course—is stuck somewhere in the middle.

“don’t be stupid!” he shouts, cursing when the edge of his voice cracks. the heat moves past the spread of his cheeks and blooms straight up his neck and towards the tips of his ears. there’s a glow in chiaki’s eyes that set him on edge more than usual, and it doesn’t take a genius to know he isn’t leaving the practice room with his lips sealed.

“but you never said you had a—”

“it’s not like that! god, you’re so annoying...”

he has half the mind to open the door and high-tail it back to his home, and he attempts to do just that—except the moment he takes even one step, chiaki grabs the back of his collar and pulls him back to the corner of the practice room.

‘perfect,’ midori thinks to himself after having lost the will to fight back. he’s known morisawa-senpai long enough to know that he just doesn’t quit it. and so he allows the senior to drag him back to the walls as he pleases, sinking deeper into the pits of despair when the others turn their heads expectantly at him—like they expect him to let everything out just like that, ‘just great.’

how did he get here? how did this happen? midori sighs dramatically and awkwardly fumbles with the wrapped lunchbox in his hands. this was the worst possible outcome, there’s no way what’s happening is real right now. it’s not funny, it’s anything but funny—and it’s all your fault.

he stops that thought before it even has the chance to progress. no, it's not your fault. he couldn’t stomach the thought of blaming you for something like this. you wouldn’t purposefully try to sabotage him.

it was an innocent gesture, he tells himself. you didn’t mean anything by it, ill will or otherwise. you, who showed up with bright eyes and a cheerful grin and his bento in your hand because he left it when homeroom ended and if you didn’t give it to him now then you would definitely forget to give it to him later, and that wouldn’t be good for the either of you—him, mostly. the same you who walked straight into the practice room like it was the most natural thing in the world and left with only a friendly smile and a hopeful ‘see you tomorrow!’ that left a tiny flame burning inside his chest.

“it’s not even like that,” midori repeats himself and shoves a spoonful of rice into his mouth, like he’s trying to convince chiaki that the two of you are just friends. like he’s trying to convince himself that the two of you are just friends. of course, it’s not that easy. and of course, his expression betrays his own words.

“umm,” tetora speaks out, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly as he sets his own lunch down. “i don’t know anything about love and stuff, but you don’t sound too sure about that. wouldn’t it be better to just, you know, say something?”

really, he knows. midori knows that he’s only prolonging the process. he knows he should just get on with it. in the worst case scenario, all that happened was that you didn’t feel the same way, right? no, no that was way too optimistic. in a real worst case scenario you would call him a total weirdo, and you’d hate him forever, and you’d never want to see him ever again. and midori really doesn’t want to think about what he would do if that ever happened.

“i have to agree, it would be better to confess your feelings, wouldn’t it? ah, but i can see how you might feel under that kind of pressure… hmm…” shinobu brings a finger to his chin, weighing in the potential options. “how about—”

“takamine!” chiaki interjects, maybe a little bit too excited. his eyes widen with sparkle that spells only trouble, and midori almost considers trying to run out of the practice rooms for a second time. “i understand! i also wish for a girlfriend to bring me lunches! and so i will help you to—”

midori’s not sure how much more of this he can take, burying his face in his hands. it was fine, really, it was fine. he could live like this just fine, he was perfectly fine with keeping these feelings deep inside. because it was you, and you stuck around for so long even through his miserable attitude and constant moping without ever complaining about it.

he’s not sure when the room got so quiet, flinching only when he feels kanata’s hand resting gentle on his shoulder.

“midori,” his senior speaks, “this is not something anyone we can do for you. if you love them, you should take the chance.”

he sighs, stilling for just a moment before his shoulders finally fall. “i know, but i’ll get over it some day. thank you anyway, shinkai-senpai.”

“if you don’t, you’ll become like the bubbles in the sea!”

“….thanks, shinkai-senpai….”

as it turns out, midori takamine is a filthy liar, because he doesn’t get over it at all.

if anything, it only gets worse. because you make time for him even when he says he’s busy, and you help him carry stuff from his family’s shop even when he says it’s okay, and you always wait for him outside of class so you can walk to your next one together.

except this time, he wished you didn’t. because he sees you talking with chiaki. there are two large boxes in your arms labeled ‘RYUSEITAI’ in big and bold letters—you must have been on your way to put them in the practice rooms.

you laugh awkwardly, and his heart almost drops to the pits of his stomach. surely it wasn’t about his little-more-than-complicated feelings for you, was it? no, morisawa-senpai is as scatter brained as it gets, there’s no way he would be able to resist spilling his secret like that.

and so, wordlessly, midori swallows what very little pride he has and takes the top box from you, quietly mumbling for you to ‘hurry up because it’s heavy.’ he doesn’t even bother looking back, immediately taking off in the opposite direction, anywhere to get away from chiaki’s blinding presence.

it’s not heavy at all, he’s had to carry heavier carts of vegetables for his family’s shop. maybe you know he’s lying, because you give him a strange look, apologize to chiaki for having to leave so suddenly, and follow right beside him to put away the boxes.

“what was that all about?” you ask once you’re both well out of earshot. there’s a lift at the end of your voice, one that midori can’t quite tell whether it is amusement or suspicion.

“that guy’s a total weirdo, trust me you don’t want to stick around him.” is all midori says, still embarrassed from his childish antics.

you only laugh, “morisawa-senpai is a little strange, but he’s not a bad guy. come on, you out of everyone else should know that, right?”

“still, he’ll tell you strange things.”

“about you?”

midori stills, almost stopping in his tracks when you say those two words. it’s like his worst fear has come true, and he’s almost ready for you to call him a freak of nature.

“take it from me, there’s nothing about you he could possibly say that would weird me out, i promise.”

‘even if i have feelings for you?’ he thinks for just a second.

“even if you have feelings for me,” you respond with more certainty than he’s ever heard.

only then, does midori realize what just happened. his face blooms a bright shade of red, reminiscent of that day just one week ago.

“did i say that out loud?” he asks, his voice no louder than a whisper. this time, he really does stop in the middle of the hall, just outside the doors to the practice room.

“you did,” you smile at him with a twinkle in your eyes, a soft laugh escapes from your throat. “for the record, i’ve known for a while. you’re, really, really, bad at hiding it. but i like you too, a lot more than you think.”

midori is certain that he could die for real this time, a hole could open up right beneath him and he would be perfectly okay with it. except not really, because now he knew you actually liked him too, and dying right after news like that would certainly be extremely disappointing.

maybe you mistook his silence as a bad sign, because the next words to fill the air are a quiet, “you don’t believe me? ah, well, i don’t blame you. you’ve always had a tendency to fear the worst, after all,” and just as quickly as it came, your disappointment soon vanished—but really, midori couldn’t tell whether or not you were even disappointed at all. he could never tell, not with you.

instead , you just laugh and set the large box down outside the practice rooms. “really though,” you start again, voice quieter than when you first began, “i do like you, that’s not a lie.”

his heart feels like it’s going the pop right out of his chest, the blood rushes right to his cheeks — and midori finds that he can’t even force the words out of his throat.

“that’s… you—”

the bell sounds before he can finish his sentence, drowning out his words under the echoes in the halls. thankfully, there’s no one else at the ends of the building. no one else to see the tender expression on your face that’s reserved for midori and midori alone. no one to see how he all but melts into your touch when you reach over to hold his face in your hands.

really, midori doesn’t know how he got here, but if it means he got to be close to you like this, then just maybe — it’ll be okay.

extra note i’m so sorry for disappearing for so long i was in the hospital and had to get surgery + physical therapy but i’m back and better than ever !!!! i will try to respond to everything soon !!!

Masterlist

A frustrated sigh escapes your lips as you cut the loose threads from the glove you’re trying to sew back together.

Last night, you had been training with your bey, but it seemed your glove had had enough of the years of sweat, abuse, and regular washes that it had gone through, and gave up on you. It had gotten you through many wins, and you doubt you’d find another just as comfortable since this one is now worn perfectly to your launching hand. You remembered that your school left the home ec. class open after hours, so you figured you’d give attempting to fix your glove a shot, which obviously wasn’t going well. The threads were too far apart, then too loose, then they just looked so badly done, you were ready to give up and buy a new one. Before you were able to fully get up from your seat, a boy came up to you - a brown puppet on one hand, and blue on the other.

The brown one began to talk in a goofy voice; “Hi there! Would you like some help? This guy here likes to think he’s pretty good at sewing.” The blue one cut him off, in a drastically different voice, “Yeah, ya seem to be strugglin’ a bit there.”

You could only stare at the person in amazement. What a skilled ventriloquist! Not only can he speak with minimal movement from his mouth, but he can switch voices so quickly!

You dismiss your thoughts, remembering the situation at hand. You get a little flustered after examining how badly you managed to mess up your stitching this time, accepting the kind stranger’s offer.

“Yeah… That’d actually be really nice.”

The boy takes a seat in the chair beside you, making sure to keep some distance between you two. He takes off his puppets and places them on the table with care, reaching a hand out toward your glove, silently asking to borrow it. You hand the beaten and well-used glove over, and he carefully but efficiently undoes the miserable stitching that you did. It doesn’t take long before it’s all gone, and you’re mesmerised by the way he so quickly threads the needle and pokes it through the fabric, making seemingly perfect lines. You see that he’s not doing the usual stitch, and you study the way he continues for a bit. He gets about a third through the small hole in the glove before handing it back to you, putting his puppets back on his hands to explain how to do this new stitch. A backstitch. He explains how to do it with maximum efficiency, and tells you that this stitch is great for reinforcing the area, which is exactly what you need.

You’re much slower, and the lines are obviously less straight than his, but this is far better than any previous attempts. He waits for you, pointing out when you begin to put too much space between the holes, or any other details. In the meantime, he introduces himself. Well, the puppets introduce themselves and him. You smile at how cute Keru and Besu are, and marvel at their unique personalities. You quickly learn that Ken’s puppets are very important to him, and that he’s obviously been doing this type of thing since he was young. His skills only further prove that, for both sewing and ventriloquism.

You only notice that you’ve been looking at Ken a little too long when he brings Besu’s little hand up to his face to ‘wipe’ Ken’s cheek, Besu asking if there’s something stuck there. Your face heats up, realizing your mistake, and you quickly assure him that you’re just heavily impressed by his ventriloquism skills. You can see slight surprise cross his face, it seems people don’t often see how difficult his skill really is. Besu thanks you, while Keru boasts about how long Ken’s been practicing for. He gets on to mentioning his puppet shows, and the two of you talk for a bit. It’s cut short when you sheepishly ask him if he can tie the final knot for you.

You try on your glove on the way home, trying to remember all the little details of the person you just met. The spikey, fluffy-looking black hair he had, the comfortable green color scheme, even his little snaggle tooth was hard to miss. It felt like you two spoke for hours, even though it was only probably 20 or so minutes. The sun is halfway through setting, and you find yourself wanting to see him again. You’re sure he went to the same school, it was simply unlucky that he and you had separate classes.

.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ ..·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ ..·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .

You spent the next couple of days paying more attention to your surroundings at school. Taking the longer routes to classes, walking around during lunch, and even getting out of class a couple of minutes early so you could try to wait at the front door. No luck.

You didn’t really have anyone to hang out with, your - acquaintances at best - having their closer friends to hang out with. You didn’t mind, but there was something about the puppeteer that had you wanting more of his presence. He just seemed so… kind, and comforting.

With no luck from your attempts, you decide to test out the bey stadium on top of the school. You heard rumors of it, but never bothered trying it out, favoring the one at the park and the one you had at home- you and your dad had built it.

Before turning the corner, you heard the all too familiar sound of a bey spinning. You contemplated even going, but you were interested in potentially finding another skilled blader.

A boy with white hair and a black vest is fully concentrated on the red bey before him. You could bet that he’s counting the seconds that it’s spinning for, so you wait to make your presence known so as to not distract him. It spins for an impressive amount of time, and you wait for him to stand up and wipe the sweat from his forehead before approaching him.

“Can I help you?”

“I doubt it, but do you happen to know where I can find a boy named Ken? He wears mostly green, has two puppets-”

“Oh, Ken Midori. I believe he has a puppet show starting sometime soon in the main area of the mall.”

He finally looks at you head-on, and you recognize him. He’s known to be an extremely skilled blader, supposedly the best at school. Shu Kurenai. You pretend to not know him, and you thank him for his time before making your way to the mall. You’ve always tried to keep your beyblading lifestyle on the down-low, changing up your appearance in battle and only really practicing alone. Beyblading isn’t your only personality trait.

You smile at all the little kids who are sat down in front of the booth, and imagine all the thankful parents who can finally get somewhat of a break. The story follows an over-confident but weak hero who can’t manage to beat a dragon. Help arrives, and you’re quick to recognize the two puppets and their voices. Your smile grows, and you excitedly wait for the end. No, not the end of the cute story being played, you’re excited to go see the boy managing those two adorable puppets. Though, the story is still engaging and fun. They sure are experienced at what they do.

The puppets bow to their audience, and the curtains close. While kids begin to shuffle through the crowd to meet up with their parents, you carefully make your way over to the booth, watching out for any green and black. A lady comes up to you and asks if she can help with anything, and you see that she has a puppet on one of her hands, one from the show.

“Oh, yes! I’m looking for Ken?”

She nods and calls out his name, and the boy makes his way over to the lady, only spotting you afterward. Besu’s the first to talk:

“Oh! You made it to our show!”

“I was pretty sharp out there, right?!” Keru intervenes, and Besu doesn’t want to feel left out, so the two begin some light banter. Ken breaks it up by giving his two puppets a glare, then he makes them bow their heads, as if they felt bad. You stifle a laugh at the scene before you, happy that you got your own mini show. Ken’s smile slightly grows, and his mother notices, so she tries to give him a little push.

“How about you two go hang out for a while? We’ve got everything covered here, and that’s the last show of the night. As long as Ken’s home by 8:30.”

You bring your hands together to play with the hem of your sleeve, feeling bad about taking her kid away for a bit.

“I don’t mind helping if you’d like?”

“Don’t worry about it, you two go have fun!”

The two of you stand in silence as his mom leaves. Ken’s not sure if he should be frustrated or thankful that his mom just threw him right outside his comfort zone, but either way, he’s stuck with you now.

You check the time on your phone, 6:07.

“We’ve got a couple hours, is there anywhere you’d like to go? Or… We are already at the mall, if you’d like to just walk around?”

Ken admits through Besu that he never really got to check out the mall. You’ve lived in this city your whole life, which means you know this mall quite well. You’re quick to drag him, metaphorically, to your favorite stores that you think he’d like. The two of you find some stickers you like, some shirts, and anything else you find interesting that’s also reasonably priced. You surprise him with a keychain of a cartoon-y dog that looks an awful lot like Besu. He looks happy to receive it, Besu doing a little dance while holding it between his little paws, but Keru crosses his arms and huffs.

You turn around to show him a keychain that you already had attached to your bag, which resembled Keru. Keru’s attitude quickly changes, remarking that he’s the better one because you have his keychain. He and Besu get into another small fight, and you’re once again reminded of Ken’s amazing skill as a ventriloquist.

The night flies by, but you’ve definitely gotten more comfortable with each other. This time, you didn’t forget to exchange contact information, so now you two can plan meet-up times. Once you wave goodbye to Ken, he stands in the middle of the quiet mall, feeling the same way you did after your first meeting. He’s never had a friend before, and he’s deciding that he’d be happy to have you as his first.

For the next few months, the two of you began hanging out outside of class. You introduce him to places you enjoy, finding out that he really likes this one clear opening in the woods not too far from your home. You went once during the day, finally trusting him enough to show him your special comfort spot. There are lots of flowers, and you even added fairy lights and a few blankets to lay on, thanks to your mom. When moving the branches away from your face and holding them away for Ken, you explain that you like to come here when you want a break from reality, or to just enjoy nature as it is.

“People are always so bombarded with lights, buildings, cars, loud noises, and the like, so we don’t often get to have 'us' time. It’s much prettier at night, we should try to convince your mom to let you stay out a bit later one night. Maybe on a weekend?”

“We often have lots of plays on the weekends, but I think our first one for next Sunday is later in the day, so if we go next Saturday night after the play it should work.” He still uses his puppets to speak, and you still love them just as much as the first day they spoke to you. They are really cute and fun, after all.

“Alright, a week and a half from now, then! Don’t forget!” Ken nods, excited to see what this place looks like at night. It seems you put lots of care into the surrounding area.

The next day, you had planned to meet up after school. At the end of your last class of the day, you get a text from your favorite ventriloquist saying his club is having an emergency meeting. You were really hoping to hang out with him, and you wouldn’t mind if there are other people around, so you ask if his club would be okay with you lingering around. He thinks about it, and figured that his friends wouldn’t mind, so the two of you meet up and you follow him to the roof.

You quietly follow behind him, a little nervous about meeting his friends. You wouldn’t usually be like this, but these are Ken’s friends, so there was a good chance you’d be seeing them time and time again.

The first one to pep up is a boy with short, blond hair, he seems to be pretty eccentric. His energy is really fun and he gives off good vibes, it feels like being around him could put you in a better mood overall, which is nice. You wave at him after he points you out, and he gives you a bright grin. You notice Shu nod at you, you’re surprised he must have remembered you. The next to speak is a shorter boy with dark blue hair, and it’s a little hard to make out what he’s saying thanks to how fast he’s talking. Something about asking if you’re Ken’s friend, then about blading.

What was that about blading? It seems the friend group quieted down after he asked you the question, also wanting an answer. Noticing your lost expression, the blondie from earlier repeats his friend’s question.

“Do you do any beyblading?”

You could tell them, but you don’t like it when your name gets out there.

“Not that much.”

“But you have a bey?”

“...Yeah.”

The blue-haired boy is quick to challenge you to a battle, but you’re not really feeling up to it. You’re not a big fan of showing off your skills to any unnecessary opponents. You don’t also want to make a fool of yourself. The ‘meeting’ goes on, and they discuss an upcoming tournament. The plan for this meeting is just to battle. They introduce themselves to you one by one, then decide that they’re going to do a tournament-style set of battles. They don’t have enough players for it to start out evenly, though. They manage to convince you to join, and you agree on the condition that you get to battle Ken in the first round. It’s the only way you’d be able to hold back.

Anyone else and you’d end up with a quick and effortless burst finish.

Valt’s up first against Honcho- or Rantaro, you’re not sure which name to use since he introduced himself as Honcho, but all the others called him Rantaro. You’re surprised at how much skill is shown before you, you may have underestimated these players. Not like it matters, though. It’s then Shu against Daigo, and you already know the outcome before it starts. Finally, you end up against Ken.

You both take your positions, and you opt to not do any strength-inducing launches, so you keep it basic. You already know exactly how this match is going to do. Your eyes flicker up from the stadium to Ken, and he looks really focused on where he intends to send his bey. He makes it all too obvious that he’s going straight to the center. You barely give the launch 15% of your power, and you let him win with a survivor finish.

As if you’d have the heart to hurt him - Well, his ego. You congratulate him on the win, and remind the gang that you don’t blade that much, with a hand stretching the back of your head and a half-smile.

“No worries! At least now our tournament can continue!”

You lean back on the bench, examining the players’ battle styles. You focus mainly on Ken’s of course, and he’s a lot stronger than you had anticipated. You watch the battle between him and Valt, the underdog pulling through. It almost looked like a stroke of complete luck that he’d won against Ken, but as much as you’d like to say that, an experienced blader’s eyes like yours could catch the hidden skill that Valt has.

He comes and sits beside you, encouraging his friends. You tag along, rooting for them. Daigo sits on the other side of you, since there isn’t anywhere else to sit and his legs are tired. The two of you don’t exchange any words, but you gain a mutual respect for each other. You like his style, and he approves of you as Ken’s friend, you seem like a good pair to him. He won’t say that aloud, though.

That weekend, Ken calls you to see if you can hang out. You try your best to never turn him down, even ditching plans just to hang out with him, but you’ve got a battle in a tournament that you can’t miss. You feel bad about it, but it can’t be helped. You tell him that you’re busy, and he assures you that it’s alright and he’ll just go watch his friends battle.

You throw on your hood and a cloth facemask, adjusting the elastics on the sides to be comfortable. This mask is really breathable, and has a cool design that consists of two rows of cartoony sharp teeth. It’s perfect for concealing your identity while you blade.

Your opponent is already up on stage when you walk up, Hanami announcing you as the Mysterious blader, only known as X. You take a glance at the crowd, there seems to be more people showing up at your battles as time goes on. You refuse to go easy when it comes to important battles, so you steady your arms and plant your feet for maximum power.

3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!

The crowd cheers, and your hood slips down from the force of your launch. That’s why the mask is important. The hand resting next to your hips subtly brings up three fingers. Then it hides one. One left. As you bring down your index, the opponent’s bey bursts. Six seconds, it seems you were feeling generous today.

Another quick glance at the crowd was intended only to observe their reaction, but your eyes caught someone unexpected. He wasn’t supposed to be here. The puppets on his hands seemed to be as surprised as him, their mouths wide open. Before he can make any sort of movement as your eyes linger on him, you shuffle over to the changing room. You try to be subtle when you leave, checking around corners before walking past, but that someone still manages to find you. He runs up to you, hugging you excitedly, but still gently, from behind, having Besu voice his excitement.

“I knew it was you!”

Keru’s quick to add on,

“Why didn’t ya go all out against Ken, though? You’re a really strong blader!”

You take a quick look around, making sure that nobody else is in the area before taking off the mask and hoodie.

“I wanna keep it on the down low. Getting challenged left and right isn’t too fun. And I didn’t have the heart to go all out.”

The last part was muttered, but Ken heard it. He chose to ignore it, though.

“You don’t enjoy lots of battles?” Besu sounded like he was a mix of sad and curious.

“Well, I’ll be honest, I underestimated your friends. I didn’t think they’d be fun to battle, but I might just have to one of these days. I’ll only do it in a competition, though.”

Ken nods, then stands still for a second. It seems there’s a lot running through his mind. His smile grows all of a sudden, and he hugs you again.

“We need to battle for real sometime, okay?”

You embrace the hug, then let go, with your hands still on his hips. You nod, agreeing to it. You may not have the heart to go all out right away, but you’re sure that if you do it enough, one day you two could have a really all-out, fun battle. The two of you have to go separate ways since it’s dinner time, but not before you promise to battle him often.

As you walk off, he finds himself staring at you in amazement. That opponent surely wasn’t weak, you were already a couple of rounds deep in the tournament. He had come to watch the previous battle, which featured Valt, but ended up staying because he was curious about Valt’s possible future opponents. He had gotten quite the reality check instead, realizing how awesome his friend is. Yeah…friend.

That moment, Ken makes a big decision: 'That’s going to have to change. Next weekend.'

The next couple of days go by as usual, having lunch with the beyclub, and hanging out with Ken a couple of times throughout the week. Although, It’s hard to miss the way he seems to slowly inch closer to you when he’s near you, or how he may have messaged you a little more often than usual, asking how you were or if you remembered to eat.

But Tuesday, that all stopped. He went quiet. You didn’t receive a 'Good morning, see you at school!' text. He didn’t have Besu pitch into the conversation, nor did he have Keru butt in with any snarky remarks during the beyclub battles after school. He still answered when spoken to, but he seemed very… out of it. Dazed? Like he had something else on his mind. You were worried about him, especially since you planned on hanging out with him in a couple of days. You have been planning this late-night meeting for a while now, and you really hoped that he still intended on coming.

But he didn’t move away when you moved closer to him, and he didn’t flinch when you put your hand in his and rubbed your thumb against it. You wanted him to know that you’d be there for him, no matter what. You wanted to so badly tell him that you- no. That can wait.

The night finally came. The sun was almost done setting, and Ken still hadn’t made it to your house yet. Now this was getting worrying. After debating for a few minutes, you finally sent him a text.

[“Hey, we’re still on tonight, right?”]

[“Of course, I’m on my way.”]

You let out a sigh of relief, unsure of why you ever doubted him. Of course you could trust him, he was the person that you were closest to, the person you cared about the most.

You look up from your dark phone screen when you hear hurried footsteps. Ken speaks through Besu, telling you that his mom wanted help deep-cleaning the house. You give him a nod, and you gently grab his hand, (you grab Keru?), and lead him to your favorite clearing. You move the branches away, being careful as to not let them smack Ken when you let go.

Ken doesn’t notice that you two have made it to the clearing until you announce it, probably because the fairy lights weren’t on. You lead him to the blanket, getting him to make himself comfortable before finally turning on the lights with a “ta-daaa~”

You had meant for all this to feel a little silly, wanting to get rid of the tense atmosphere, but you immediately saw just about every worry leave Ken’s eyes as the lights flickered on. It’s like he was finally made aware of how dreamy the world could be, and it almost seemed as if his eyes twinkled when they met yours.

Must have just been the lights.

You sit beside him, eventually deciding to lie down once your arms got too strained from holding yourself up. The only thing filling the silence was the quiet buzzing of any nearby bugs, and the crickets. Ken let himself fall from his sitting position not too long after you did, and he was quick to pull you close to him. Impossibly close, even, as he had your head laying on his chest.

He’s never been this bold before, and you can easily tell that he’s nervous with how hard his heart is beating. You snuggle closer, if possible, and you’re almost on the brink of falling asleep. Before you can though, the fairy lights die out, allowing you to see the infinite amount of stars above you. There’s no better time than now.

“Hey.”

Ken slightly adjusts his head so his eyes can meet yours, but you don’t share his glance.

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”

His breath hitches. You catch the way his chest no longer moves up and down, and your lips waver, afraid you may have made a mistake. He most definitely understood what was implied, his reaction making it a dead giveaway.

It’s silent for what feels like hours, the only thing breaking it being his uneven breath. Then, his light sobs. You immediately half-sit up, focusing all your attention on Ken.

There’s a big, strained smile on his face, the kind that only shows when you’re the last person trying to convince yourself that everything’s alright. It begins to fade, and tears only begin to fall faster when you envelop him in a hug. He hugs you tighter, tighter than he ever has before, almost like he’s afraid to lose you. No, as if he’s afraid to leave you.

You back off by a couple inches when his weak hold finally allows it, and you bring a hand up to wipe one of the many tears from his cheek. You eventually have to courage to raise enough for Ken to hear.

“Ken…did I say something wrong? I never meant to hurt you, I’m so sorry-”

“It’s not your fault that you loved me.”

You both sit in silence. Your hand weakly starts to weigh itself down, away from his face, while he avoids any kind of eye contact. This was the first time you heard his voice.

“I…I don’t want to leave. I can’t just leave you, you mean so much to me!”

He begins to ramble, and it starts to become hard to understand him when the tears come right back.

“Ken, my love, I’d never leave you. What makes you think-”

“No, no, my family. My family’s puppet shows are making me travel. I have to change schools. I have to leave. I have to leave you.”

“Oh.”

That’s what that meant.

He’s leaving.

You may never see each other again.

“...When?”

“I need to start packing tomorrow. I also need to tell the bey club.”

You nod absentmindedly, you mind trying to come up with any possible, futile ways to keep him here. When nothing useful comes up, you slowly reach your hands around his torso and lay down. He allows it.

He can feel a wet spot form on his shirt, but he only embraces you tighter. He strokes your hair as gently as he can, resisting the urge to burst out into tears again. It’s much harder when the love of his life is past that point, lying on his chest, and there isn’t much else he can do as comfort.

You awake the next morning to rays of sunshine crossing your face, and you groggily attempt to sit up, but the arms wrapped around you won’t allow it. You quickly recognize the fluffy, black hair you grew so used to, and the area in the woods that you loved so much. That was all you needed as confirmation that no, none of what had happened was a dream. Your eyes want to well up again, but your body refuses, still tired from last night.

Finally, Ken’s grip loosens a bit when he takes in the situation as well, but it quickly tightens again when the two of you are sat back up.

“Don’t you still have to tell the beyclub?”

“...Yeah.”

Ken makes no effort to move until you do, grabbing his hand and letting him take the lead to wherever he had planned on meeting the club. Before he turned the corner, he takes a deep breath in and plasters the usual smile on his face. You hadn’t let go of his hand, so he currently only has Besu on.

You don’t plan on letting go any time soon.

Xander ends up interrupting the beyclub, and you all find yourselves at the Shakadera Dojo, the Beyclub battling the Swordflames. Halfway through the team battles, Daigo finally speaks up about something being off about Ken, and he slips his hand out of yours, swiftly making his way out of the dojo. You follow the beyclub, finally ending up at the top of a cliff, where they question Ken.

You know it hurts.

It hurts, even more, to say it out loud.

“Want me to tell them?”

He quickly looks your way, and his face is mixed with surprise, panic, sadness, and many other emotions. A slight nod towards you, and you somehow manage to utter out the words that Ken couldn’t. Only once it came to the part about him not wanting to leave could he finally speak up, and you could tell his eyes were starting to gloss over again, same as yours. It almost seemed as if a heavy weight was taken off his shoulders, only to be replaced with a heavier one. The clear emotions being shown by his friends didn’t help, and that made him want to get away as soon as possible.

Not paying attention to his surroundings, the rock beneath him crumbles, making him slip. He closes his eyes, preparing for the worst.

He opens his eyes to see your face, jam-packed with adrenaline. You pull him back up thanks to the help of the beyclub, and the two of you sit for a second, trying to comprehend everything that just happened.

Then, Daigo lays out the idea that everyone will still be friends no matter where you are. That gives the rest of the club hope, and Ken’s eyes fill with determination. The two of you stand up, and you piggy-back off off Daigo’s idea, assuring him that you’ll be there for him no matter where you are.

You refuse to let go of his hand once again, up until he has to get into the truck to make his way to his new home.

“Hey, don’t forget to shoot me a text anytime, okay?”

Your nerves are getting the better of you, but Ken reassures you that he’ll keep in contact. He pulls you in for one last hug.

He doesn’t let go until his mom calls to him, and even then he waits another minute.

“I love you. And distance won’t change that. Don’t get hung up on me, though, go enjoy life.”

You let out a sad chuckle,

“As if I could ever move on. I’ll still love you, even with the distance.”

One last deep breath and he gets in the truck that begins to drive off.

The beyclub members shout their last goodbyes and you give the last word;

“Be safe, Love!”

May.21.23
