Light ‘Em Up, Buttercup.
Chishiya Shuntaro x Gn! Reader;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chishiya always gave you little DIY trinkets, though you were perplexed, you accepted them. Cherished them. Today, you seemed upset. It also happened that today, he finally wanted to tell you how he felt. How he could feel a storm brewing amongst this false paradise that was The Beach, and how he wanted to tell you before he could lose you to this place and its madness. Tell you that he, Chishiya Shuntaro, loved you with all his being.
a/n; no warnings really needed! Some fluff (chishiya’s a real lover boy in this one), awkward chishiya cause that man has no rizz you cant tell me otherwise,,, oh n’ niragi’s mentioned a little, a lil cheesy but bare w me 💔
Tumblr media
The first time he gifted you something, it was just about a month into knowing Chishiya. He hadn’t known it then, but about then was where the sparks of a flame were slowly being ignited. A flame that he couldn’t put out, as much as he tried to force it down his stomach.
As much as he tried to smother it with the lid of reality— that this utopia they lived in was nothing but a farce.
All of the Beach’s residents never seemed to realize it, well except for a handful. Most were the executives though, or people Chishiya spoke to directly. Like Kuina. But you, you were one of the exceptions. That’s what he found refreshing about you, someone who didn’t run from reality— as crude as it was. That was what he liked about you.
It was why he liked you.
The first thing he’d given to you was a shiv, a crudely crafted blade that had its own little sheath he, too, created. His background gave him steady hands, it was no hassle to sew together some scrap pieces of leather together to create a hold for the pocket-sized weapon. Sure it wasn’t the best weapon in terms of effectiveness, but he had hoped that someday it would come in handy.
To say that he had a part in your survival, it gave him a sense of security and comfortability. Along with a smidgen of pride.
The idea to give you a shiv had popped into his head when he saw the way Niragi looked at you. He’d just been strolling by, but he saw the way his brow raised in interest, the slight purse of his lips that quirked up into a bit of a smile. No matter what had crossed through his mind at that moment, Chishiya didn’t care.
The fact that you caught Niragi’s eye was all that he needed to feel the frown creep up on his face. Of course, before anyone could give anything a second thought he managed to distract him and his prying eyes.
But both of them weren’t dumb.
Something had happened just there. Something neither men could wrap their heads around— mainly Chishiya. Niragi now knew you were of some importance to the smug bastard, and Chishiya couldn’t figure out why he cared. Him, who only ever cared about himself, doing something out of his way to help someone out. Even though he probably just worsened the chance of guaranteed safety for you.
The day right after that, Chishiya approached you with the same nonchalance he did daily. But today, he pulled something out of his pocket that surprised you.
“For you. Protect yourself, don’t be careless and die here. It’d be a rather pathetic death, dying out here than in a game that was purposefully designed to kill you.” For many, being spoken to like that would probably be off-putting. Maybe a little bit offensive. But you had just let out an airy chuckle, your uncertainty showing through your laugh.
“How charming.” Was what you said, taking the unknown object into the palm of your hand.
Seeing as you seemed a little confused, he piped up again, looking down at the sheathed shiv then at you, “it fits in your pocket— it’s a makeshift blade. I made it. Don’t say I never did anything for you—”
“Thank you.”
He stared at you for a moment, seeing the small smile on your face. It was one that found some amusement in this display of… well, he wasn’t sure what it was. All he knew was that, with the way you looked at him, he felt this fluttering in his stomach. Perhaps he ate something wrong not too long ago.
That must have been… weeks ago now. Every week he came up with something new to gift you. Not all of them were shabby trinkets he created himself, like for example once he gave you a lighter. Where he gets these things, no one knows. But him, of course.
Though as weeks dwindled and passed by, he knew it was only a matter of time before shit hit the fan.
He already had his plan mapped out, the only person he trusted to work in this was Kuina. Why not you? Because for the slightest chance they might fuck up, he didn’t want you caught in the crossfire.
After a hectic day, he found his way to you. Ever since he figured out how to make bombs, he thought, why can’t he make something with the same technology to make you happy? Or at least, to provide a show. He even figured out a way to get them coloured. Of course, he didn’t have enough materials or knowledge to go beyond that but he thought he refined his craft pretty well.
So when he tried to find you, and you weren’t in your usual spots, he felt a pit forming in his stomach.
He didn’t dare call out your name, only searching for you in quiet. Had you finally been taken? Or… did you not come back from a game? Was this Niragi’s doing? Who would be out to get you?—
“Chishiya.”
His head whipped around, pieces of hair briefly flying into his face. He staggered a little, just a bit out of breath from his frantic searching. Right. Here on the roof top, a place he had personally introduced you to. A place where no one knew you could go.
In an attempt to regain his composure, he let out a little cough. “You— why are you up here?” He spoke out, brows furrowing just a little at his own words that sounded a little colder than he meant them to be.
An amused scoff left you, as you approached him, the moonlight and dim lights of the rooftop being the only light source, “I needed the fresh air.” You breathed out, a somber look on your face. At the moment, he figured it out. You must know it too, a mutual understanding you both have.
How this place had reached its due date.
He’d never been the one for distractions. To wallow in your own self pity and pretending that something wasn’t there when it clearly was. But for you, he’d indulge just a little.
“I kept up with my weekly quota, as promised,” a promise he created himself. Out of his pockets, each of his hands pulled out two dynamite looking sticks. Thin enough to be sandwiched between his fingers. “Fireworks, impressive, right?” He spoke with just a bit of smugness to his tone. That wasn’t really a question he needed answering to. Either way, whatever your answer would’ve been it didn’t matter.
The way your eyes lit up as you let out an audible gasp, already fiddling with your pockets for (presumably) your lighter was enough of an answer for him.
“You’re amazing! I mean— first the bombs and now fireworks? What can’t you do? Oh my god, you should totally make me a little robot thing—” as you blabbered, he already made his way to place the fireworks a good distance away from where they’d plan to sit and watch. A little bit of a smile on his face.
When everything got set up, he gestured towards the fireworks. “What are you waiting for? Don’t tell me you’re scare—”
Tsssssss.
A boisterous laugh escaped you as you immediately grabbed him by his arm, having gone out of the way to light them up as he was in the middle of taunting you.
What did this remind him of?
This reminded him of those cheesy romance dramas, the moment where the main characters confessed their love under the fireworks. While he never understood that, he couldn’t keep his eyes off of you. The happy look in your eye, the way you held his arm, how you reminded him of him just a little but be on an entirely different plane from him as well.
As the first firework set off, he saw how your turned around and he could see the bright light cascade over the glimmer of your eyes. How the light in your eyes shone brighter than any firework he could manufacture.
At that moment, for the first time in his time being in this twisted land, he didn’t think. “I love you.” He whispered out, not even paying attention to the light show as he watched how your expression shifted. How your eyes met his in that moment, the way your expression went from amazement to surprise.
Maybe it was too quick to say something like that. But in this lawless land, what did he gain from holding onto every little thing he wanted to say and do?
Over the loud booming of the fireworks, he tried to speak as much as he could. Saying that he wasn’t entirely sure what he was feeling, or how it even happened, but all he knew was that he fell. Hard. And that he wanted nothing but to see you alive— protect you even though deep down, he knew you were capable on your own.
You couldn’t even hear him. How were you supposed to, with those fireworks? But he still kept speaking. With tears in your eyes, you could only let out a choked laugh as you cupped his face with your hands and pulled him into a kiss.
“Oh shut up, just for once.” You laughed, briefly separating to only pull him back in again.
He could only think about how soft you felt against him, your warm hands creating this sorts of contrast against his cold skin. Was this really love? He didn’t know. But one thing he did know for certain, as he finally planted his hands on your hips;
like those fireworks, you lit up his night sky.

All In - Chapter 2: The Beach
| Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 |
The All In Masterlist
My Alice In Borderland Masterlist
My Navigation and Masterlist
My Chishiya Shuntaro Masterlist
Warnings: Non-important character deaths, descriptions of blood and gore, Niragi being a perv but a consensual and non-boundary crosser perv, let me know if there are any more. Word Count: 7,175
“All in.”
His grin grew to the point you thought his face would split in half. He started giggling, obviously crazed by the trauma of this world.
Or maybe he was crazy before it.
“ALL PLAYERS PARTICIPATING IN THIS ROUND HAVE GONE ALL IN.
IN THE CASE OF THIS HAPPENING, THERE WILL BE A BONUS FOR THE WINNER.”
Now this piqued your interest. 
“THE WINNER WILL BE GIVEN A BONUS OF $500 FOR THEIR BRAVERY.”
There were shouts of protest from each of the players.
“That’s not fair!”
“What the fuck?”
You drowned them all out, noticing that once again, Chishiya Shuntaro did not join them in their complaints. Instead, he was staring at you with a blank look, one you couldn’t quite decipher. It almost felt like he was… analyzing you.
“ALL HANDS WILL BE REVEALED NOW.”
The sight of his hand made a small giggle slip through your lips. The giggle slowly grew louder and louder until you were laughing loudly. Fujita stayed still as he ran his eyes over each of your hands, trying to figure out how he could’ve possibly lost. 
He’d gotten dealt the Two of Diamonds and the Two of Clubs. 
The hand in the center was the Ten of Diamonds, the Two of Spades, the King of Diamonds, the Jack of Diamonds, and the Two of Hearts.
He’d gotten a Four Of A Kind.
It was unfortunate for him that you just got something better. 
“The Queen of Diamonds and the Ace of Diamonds?” You heard Chishiya let out a low whistle. “That’s a Royal Flush.”
“No!” Fujita screamed, slamming his fists down onto the table in a fit of rage. He quickly reached down into his pocket, grabbed something, and pulled it out. Your eyes widened in surprise when you realized it was a gun. “If I’m going down, then you’re coming with me!” He screamed at you, placing his finger on the trigger. 
A shot.
A laser.
The sound of a head thumping onto the table, deceased. 
You laughed. 
“Well fuck!” You said quietly, laughing breathlessly at the rush of adrenaline that shot through you. You hardly flinched at him pulling the trigger but it was a shock nonetheless. 
“ATTEMPTING TO KILL YOUR OPPONENTS BEFORE THE END OF THE GAME WILL RESULT IN A GAME OVER.
A PLAYER HAS REACHED BANKRUPTCY. IT IS NOW GAME OVER FOR THEM.”
You all watched as the corpse of Hirose Fujita’s chest started to cave in on itself underneath the pressure of the metal pole surrounding him, his ribs breaking and sticking out through his skin while blood splattered across the tablet in front of him. 
The sight caused a panic.
Many screamed. One person stayed still in their seat, hyperventilating and silent tears falling down their cheeks. Two started having panic attacks, trying their hardest to escape the bonds of the chair but to no avail. 
The girl to your left turned to the side of her chair, throwing up at the purely atrocious scene. 
You winced in disgust at the sight of his perishment, but other than the scrunch of your nose, you didn’t show any other sign of being disturbed. Your stomach had grown strong over the weeks you’d spent in the borderland. It was a necessary adaptation you needed to make if you wanted to survive and get through all the horrific sights you’d seen. Looking to the side at the back of your chair, you eyed the hole in the material. The shot had somehow - with some crazy, mysterious luck granted to you by the goddess of luck herself, Tyche - only barely missed anywhere vital.
The voice went on to announce that you’d won and scored the bonus $500 along with the $430 that was in the pot. 
Your balance was now over a thousand. 
As the voice continued on speaking, introducing the 6th round and who was going first, you brought a hand up to your left cheek. When you brought it away, there was thick red blood coating your fingertips and falling down your face from the bullet. You didn’t worry too much. If it was anything too serious, you would have been bleeding a whole lot more, that’s for sure. You decided you would just wait until the end of the game to try and do anything to solve it, occasionally rubbing the blood away with the sleeve of your jacket, not wanting the dress you were wearing to be ruined just yet. You failed to see how Chishiya’s eyes narrowed in on the wound. 
The next round passed. You’d folded after the first person placed their bet, your cards not being too great.
It totally wasn’t also because the person who placed the bet was the eye-catching man named Chishiya.
That would be crazy. 
Unsurprisingly, he won the round. One player, Akagi Tennen, started crying, his balance dropping down to $30 as Chishiya came out victorious with his balance rising to over $200. 
Round after round, the players died off until there were only four left. 
Sada Yuka. 
Oishi Kaori.
Chishiya Shuntaro.
And you. 
Your score had gone down to $860 while Chishiya’s had raised to $830. 
Each girl was shaking in their seat. The metal bar was compressed tightly around them, enough so that it obviously was uncomfortable and maybe slightly painful, but not as painful as it would be when they lost the remaining $5 in their balances. 
Your heart hurt in your chest as you watched them reach for each other’s hands desperately. Yuka tried to be strong in front of her friend but it was obvious she was having a hard time as tears gathered along her waterline. Kaori’s tears streamed down her cheeks like waterfalls, unable to control her sobs. 
It painfully reminded you of the friendship you had with your best friend, especially when the two of you were children.
It was the first day of first grade, and you were nervously shuffling on your feet while standing in front of the school entrance. Your mother stood next to you, but the knowledge that she would leave when you entered the building had your five-year-old stomach turning. 
She kneeled down beside you so she was at your level before caressing your hair lovingly. “Are you ready, sweetie?” She asked you. You gripped the straps of your backpack nervously before hesitantly nodding. She softly smiled before bringing you into a much-needed hug. It wasn’t surprising that she could tell you were only saying that for her sake; you weren’t the best at hiding your feelings just yet. “I’m so proud of you. You’re going to do amazing, I just know it. I’ll pick you up as soon as school ends, okay?”
“Okay, mama,” you agreed and she let you go, giving you a light nudge toward the door. 
Ten minutes later, you were sitting in the second row of your class. The teacher stood in front of a whiteboard, wearing an ankle-length skirt made of different colored patches. On top, she wore a simple black turtleneck with some silver jewelry. 
She turned around, writing her name on the board. You couldn’t read it, not really having learned to read yet, and you were thankful when she repeated the name she wrote. 
“Hi everyone!” She started in a cheery tone and a big smile. Her ginger-dyed hair with brown roots just barely visible as they grew out framed her face gorgeously and you couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty. “Welcome to your first day in my class and congratulations on being in first grade! I will be your teacher for the rest of the year. My name is Ms. Hirayama,” she told you before cupping her hand around her mouth like she was telling you a secret. “But you all can just call me Rin!” She winked. “Today, we will be learning the alphabet. Does anyone know the first letter?”
A few hands rose but you lost focus when you saw the boy sitting next to you. He was sitting with a notebook in front of him, not focusing on the lesson as he drew a stick figure picture of three people and a dog in front of a wonky, crooked house. You watched him for a while longer before suddenly, your teacher stopped talking. 
“Kids, would you mind paying attention and saving your drawing for when we have a break?” She asked kindly, looking between the boy next to you and yourself. You both nodded, the boy putting his pencil down and nodding as well. She smiled and returned to reading through the alphabet. 
You turned and leaned over your desk so you were closer to the boy. “I like your drawing,” you whispered. He blushed in embarrassment at you seeing it but smiled nonetheless. 
“Thank you.”
You introduced yourself, sticking a hand out for him to shake. He grabbed it, his grip hesitant and soft. 
“I’m Aoki Dai. It’s nice to meet you.”
“You too!”
“Kids!” The teacher raised her voice a little bit to get your attention. The both of you snapped back to be sitting up ultra-straight in your chairs and apologized simultaneously.
“Sorry.”
You and Aoki had become attached at the hip since that moment, only ever apart when you went home or were at a club of some sort that the other wasn’t involved in. Years later, when the both of you were in your second year of high school, you continued with those clubs. Aoki was in the school’s soccer club, doing well in team-based sports, while you enjoyed the chess club. You thrived on working alone. While you didn’t mind working with someone, you did your best when you worked alone. 
It was after school on a Tuesday and you walked toward the big oak tree in the front of the school where Aoki and you agreed to meet up every day after school before you’d walk home together. 
You were surprised to find your best friend with tears streaming down his cheeks, one of which was bruised black and blue. It was obvious the tears weren’t caused by the pain, however. 
Your gaze hardened and his eyes found yours. Just as his mouth opened to speak, presumably to say he was fine or some bullshit like that, you spoke first. “Who was it?”
“It’s fin-”
“Who. The hell. Was it?” You repeated, interrupting him with your harsh gaze and demanding words. 
He looked down in shame. “Ito Reina.”
That bitch. You knew exactly who he was talking about. She was on the soccer team with him and you would see her at every practice you sat in on or game you attended. You never liked her or her overly arrogant attitude just because she was the oldest on the team. She was a junior which she thought made her superior to everyone else. 
Your fists clenched before the sound of a familiar, infuriating laugh sounded from the entrance of the school. 
Aoki’s eyes widened as he saw the determination set in on your face, reaching out to stop you. “No, don’t-!”
It was too late. You’d already thrown your backpack down and started storming over to where Ito was walking with two of her, also arrogant and rude, friends. 
Her eyes fell on you when you got within a few yards of her and she rolled them. “Oh great. What do you wa-?”
She didn’t get to finish her sentence before your fist made contact with the side of her face. The girls beside her gasped loudly as she fell backward and onto the ground. You didn’t stop, jumping onto her and throwing a few more good hits in. When her friends tried to step in to help her, you elbowed one of them in the ribs and the other in the nose, leaving both of them crying in pain on the floor. After the fourth hit you gave her, you were satisfied with the bloody nose and bruising cheek she sported. 
You stood up, clenching and unclenching your fist to stop the stinging as the skin had split along your knuckles during your thrown punches. “So, here’s how this is going to go,” you started, crouching down in front of her and poking her throbbing cheek. “You’re going to apologize to my friend, Aoki, here, and then you’re going to leave him alone for the rest of your life. If I hear you’ve done anything like this again, I won’t stop at four,” you threatened calmly. She nodded fearfully, scared of the blank look in your eyes and on your face. After a few moments of her silence, you glared. “Well? I’m still waiting on that apology.”
She seemed to remember and frantically scrambled to her knees, kneeling in front of you and Aoki who stood a few feet behind you. 
“I’m sorry, Aoki Dai. I will never bother you again.”
You let out a satisfied hum before reaching to condescendingly pat the top of her head. “Good girl. Now get out of here before I change my mind about stopping at four hits.”
She clambered to stand, her two friends following closely behind her as they ran away from the two of you. 
When you turned around to face Aoki, he was staring at you with an amazed look and your backpack lightly clutched in his hands. 
“You didn’t have to do that,” he breathed out, looking down at his feet in shame at the situation. He let out a gasp when he felt your arms wrap around his shoulders. 
“Yes, I did. You’re my best friend, Aoki. I’ll always be here to protect you,” you promised him.
And it was a promise you kept, protecting him for years and years from anything that threatened to hurt the boy you loved like a brother until you were ripped out of your life and ended up not seeing him for months. 
“ROUND TWENTY WILL BEGIN NOW.” 
The remaining money in the two girls’ balance was immediately used as their antis into the round. No matter what, one of them, if not both, was going to die this round. 
Taking a deep breath to control your emotions, you turned to face them, and their attention moved to you. Both eyes were fearful. Sad.
It broke your heart.
You gave them a forlorn smile. “It’s been an honor to play with the two of you. May the three of us be friends in the next life.”
Your words were enough to push Yuka over the edge as she started sobbing. 
“PLAYER SADA, YUKA, CHOOSE TO RAISE, CALL, OR FOLD.”
She had to swallow down her sobs long enough to speak before answering. “Call.”
Her voice was raw with pain, cracking at the end and she hung her head low. Her hand still desperately reaching for Kaori’s trying to comfort each other as they were sure they wouldn’t live through the game. 
The announcer went through each person’s turn. 
Nobody chose to raise the bet. 
It continued until all five cards were facing up in the center of the table. You sighed at the hand you were dealt. 
In the center of the table, the faceup cards were as such:
King of Clubs. Three of Hearts. Eight of Spades. Jack of Clubs. Eight of Diamonds.
You were dealt an Ace of Spades and an Eight of Hearts. 
Three of a kind.
“Fuck,” you whispered under your breath. 
“ALL HANDS WILL BE REVEALED NOW.”
Just as you suspected. You’d won.
Yuka’s hand was nothing. Two of Clubs and Four of Hearts. 
Kaori’s was a two-pair. Three of Diamonds and King of Clubs. 
Finally, Chishiya had a single pair. Seven of Diamonds and Seven of Spades. 
Winning wasn’t always fun.
“TWO PLAYERS HAVE REACHED BANKRUPTCY. IT IS NOW GAME OVER FOR THEM.”
You looked away, closing your eyes and trying to ignore the sobs. They screamed for a second as the metal bar closed in on them until everything went silent. You let out a little sigh, thankful their deaths were at least quick and hopefully not very painful. A small ding brought your attention to the phone you were given. 
“ONLY TWO PLAYERS REMAIN.
GAME CLEARED. CONGRATULATIONS.”
“Yay,” you said dryly. The metal poles surrounding you and Chishiya retracted, allowing the two of you to step out of your chairs and leave. 
Chishiya walked over to the body of his deceased companion. “Not so strong now,” he mocked the previous words the man told him earlier. Leaning down, he searched his pockets for the keys of the car they used to arrive at the game, finding them in the breast pocket of his blood-stained leather jacket. He tossed the keys into the air before catching them again with a smug but small smirk on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he turned to look at you and his words caught in his throat. You were pushing the chairs of the two girls together, panting at the exertion because of the heavyweight. It was when the two chairs were side by side, their armrests touching, that you stopped. You had a small, sad, smile on your face as you gently grabbed their hands, resting them on top of each other. 
“What’s that for?” Chishiya inquired. 
Without looking at him, you responded. “The last thing they wanted was to comfort each other. I thought they deserved to hold hands at the very least.”
Chishiya almost scoffed at the sudden personality switch from how you acted during the majority of the game versus now, not to mention how kind the switch was. How could you be so kind and considerate in the midst of a world like this one? In a world so selfish and uncaring about the lives of anyone or anything? It just didn’t make sense.
It intrigued him. 
Using your hands to close their wide, scared eyes and taking a deep breath, you forced yourself to look away from the girls and bring your thoughts away from the loneliness you felt with the lack of your best friend. Facing the boy in the white hoodie to see him already looking at you, you smoothed down your dress. “What?”
He stared at you for a few moments. The eye contact was intense as he studied you and you tilted your head in confusion at his silence. After a beat, he finally spoke. “Come with me.”
The confusion visibly grew on your face as you scrunched your eyebrows together. “What do you mean? Where?”
“The Beach,” he said simply before turning around and heading for the exit. 
“What? You’re going to the beach? Why?” You asked, reluctantly following behind him and watching as he grabbed the Six of Hearts card off the table on the way out. “We’re in the middle of Tokyo, there’s no beaches for miles.”
“Not the beach, Beach,” he clarified, and although it rang a bell in your mind, it still didn’t clear up your confusion.
“That doesn’t make any sense,” you told him and he rolled his eyes.
“It would if you were smarter,” he insulted and you slapped the back of his head instinctively - it was what you often did to Aoki when he would make a stupid comment. He stopped walking, turning to look at you, his eyebrows raised and his eyes set in a surprised yet slightly annoyed glare. You said nothing to explain your action, only crossing your arms over your chest and tilting your head with a cheeky smile. He sighed, turning back around and continuing his walk forward. “You’ll see when we get there.”
You just grinned to yourself as you skipped behind him. After a minute, an old, bright red Mustang appeared in your sights. It was parked poorly along the street in an area where it would most definitely be ticketed in the original Tokyo. It was beautiful and in very good condition. It was clear whoever the owner was - who you got the feel was not the bleach-blonde-haired boy leading you to the car - loved and cherished this car, keeping it as pristine as possible. “Why do you think I’ll trust you enough to get into a car with you?” You quizzed as the two of you got closer to the car with each step. 
“If you’re smart, you’ll know you shouldn’t,” he told you without missing a beat or faltering in his movements. You scoffed. 
“What’s with you and thinking I’m not smart?”
“Well, you haven’t done anything to prove otherwise,” he reasoned. 
‘Funny. It’s not like you’ve done anything to prove you’re trustworthy either,’ you thought. 
Once you reached the car, he stopped on the passenger’s side of the car - a fact that confused you considering he was the one who had the keys and you expected him to be the driver. It surprised you even more when he opened the door and held it open for you, leaning on it and gesturing for you to go in. 
You schooled your expression back into a teasing smirk. “Ooh. A gentleman and an asshole. You’re just my type,” you joked before your face dropped to a more serious one. “I still don’t trust you won’t kill me the moment I get in.”
“Would you feel better if I pinky promised?” He asked sarcastically, his voice remaining in the same monotonous tone he’d used the whole night. 
“It would, actually,” you told him, feigning being serious as you got into the car. “I guess I don’t have much to live for anyways,” you confessed. 
‘I’ve been sleeping on a couch in a clothing store for the past week anyway. If this ‘Beach’ place is a base of some sort then maybe I’ll finally have a more comfortable spot to rest,’ you thought to yourself.
Chishiya closed the door behind you, making sure you were fully in and your dress wouldn’t get caught before he did, then walked around to settle into the driver’s seat. 
When he turned the car on, the sound of an old song from the 60’s immediately started softly playing through the speakers. 
“How do you have music? I’ve not been able to make anything work since I arrived here,” you questioned, looking at him curiously. 
“Devices that have integrated circuits don’t work, though I don’t expect you to know what that is,” he insulted again, arrogantly. You just stayed quiet with a roll of your eyes as he continued. He pointed a finger at the cassette player that was a part of the car. “This car’s from the 1960s and has a cassette player; so if you have a cassette you can play music.”
‘The owner must have never used the car. It’s in almost perfect condition,’ you thought. 
The drive over was relatively quiet, the music not playing too loudly and neither of you speaking. You decided to hold off on any questions you had about this so-called ‘Beach’ for when you got there. You really weren’t in the mood to hear his condescending tone when you didn’t know the answer to something and he had to smugly explain it to you.
To be honest, though, you didn’t expect him to answer even if you did ask him.
When you arrived at Beach, you realized it was a modern hotel that had the word ‘Beach’ spray painted over the original sign called ‘Seaside Paradise | Tokyo.’ Once Chishiya parked, you got out of the car and followed him into the building. You could hear the distant sound of loud party music, but you ignored it in favor of watching Chishiya as he walked. Each stride was filled with such confidence and nonchalantness that it was hard to not find him intriguing. 
He led you further into the building until you reached an area protected by two strong-looking men who leaned against the walls. Although they looked like bodyguards, the sight of them clad in palm-tree-designed swimming trunks kind of lessened their intimidation. They looked alarmed at the two of your sudden appearances but one look at Chishiya was enough for them to relax again and allow him through.
You were not so lucky. One of the men roughly grabbed your shoulder when you tried to follow after him and pulled you back. 
“If you don’t take your hands off me within the next few seconds, you won’t be able to use them for the rest of your life,” you warned him but his grip just tightened around you as he attempted to drag you back. Within a second, you had his arm locked behind him and his chest pressed against the wall he was leaning against not even a minute prior. 
“She’s with me. She’s a newcomer,” Chishiya explained as the guard you had pressed against the wall groaned in pain. He stopped the other guard from intervening, not even turning around or slowing his steps like he expected them to stop you. The guard you had pressed against the wall stopped struggling and you slowly let him go. Giving the two men a charming smile, you followed the boy around the corner, nearly running into his back when he stopped abruptly. Examining the room, you noticed the dim lighting and the two leather couches facing each other. On one of those couches supported a familiar man with chin-length brown hair. He wore a thin bathrobe with a black backing and some patterns along the fabric. Underneath the bathrobe, you could see he was shirtless with only a pair of orange swimming trunks around his hips. He was sat with two girls who seemed to be in their mid-twenties on either side of him. One wore a black bathing suit with white polka dots decorating it while the other wore a hot pink bikini with ruffles. 
And the man currently had his tongue shoved down one of their throats. 
Chishiya cleared his throat to capture the attention of the man and after a few more seconds of making out with the girl, he pulled away. Leaning back against the seat, he manspread his legs as each girl cuddled up his side. 
“Ah! Chishiya, my boy! What brings you here?” The man expressed. 
He held up the Six of Hearts card in between two fingers before holding it out for the man to take. “I’ve also brought someone,” Chishiya explained, moving out of the way so you were more exposed to the man’s view. 
When his gaze fell on you, you saw the way his breath stalled in his lungs. It was similar to your reaction when first saw him only a few moments ago. 
“Hi, it’s nice to meet you! Your uncle’s talked a lot about you.”
“Well, that’s never a good sign.”
“Would you guys turn that shitty song off? You know I hate it.”
“Oh come on uncle! Stop your whining and come dance with us! ‘Hey, I just met you! And this is crazy!’”
“‘But here’s my number! So call me maybe!’”
“What made you want to open up a hat shop, Uncle Tak?”
“It was kind of a surprise decision. Some unfortunate events happened and I needed a job to keep me afloat for a while. It ended up sticking.”
“I think it’s cool. You’re like the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland, minus the ‘mad’ part.”
“Maybe we should keep it as me being the hatter, that hat doesn’t fit you at all.”
Takeru swallowed subtly before turning back to Chishiya who eyed the two of you intensely. 
“I see,” he mused, his voice underlying with a certain tenseness, putting the card in the breast pocket of his robe. “I assume she is joining The Beach then, am I right?” Chishiya nodded, confirming his assumptions before walking over and leaning down to whisper something inaudible to you into his ear. The man looked at him with an impressed and moderately surprised look. Turning back to you, he grinned somewhat hesitantly. “Well then, have a seat,” he gestured to the couch in front of him and you snuck a glance at Chishiya before obliging and sitting down. “Everyone out. I’d like a moment alone with the newcomer,” Takeru commanded and everyone in the room stood up to leave, Chishiya being the last one. The two of you locked eyes as he walked past the couch and to the exit behind you. The look in his gaze was analytical, most likely of your poorly disguised relationship with his leader. 
You and Takeru stayed quiet as you waited for everyone to leave the room and for the door to close behind them. The moment the latch of the door sounded, he was out of his seat and rushing toward you. You stood up just in time for him to pull you into his comforting embrace. You felt unshed tears burning your eyes but held them back with a shaky breath, gripping onto him tighter. 
“I’m not happy you’re in this hellhole, but I’m glad you’re at least here,” he told you once the two of you pulled away. He sat next to you on the couch, pouring both of you a glass of bourbon and leaning back in the seat. 
“When did this whole thing start?” You asked him, gesturing to the room and hotel around you. 
“A few weeks after Aguni and I first arrived here. We set it up to give people hope of a better life while here.”
You paused mid-sip, turning to him with a hopeful yet fearful gleam in your eyes. “Mori's here?” You weren't sure if you were hoping you misheard him or praying you heard him right. 
He nodded, smiling at the nickname you gave your uncle, and you let out a shaky breath. “We arrived in this world together. Both of us were really worried when you were late to show up that day. It didn’t help that the apocalypse happened and you still weren’t there.”
“My alarm didn’t go off,” you weakly defended yourself and he gave you a small smile. 
“Well, besides that, Welcome to The Beach. It’s procedure for me to tell all newcomers the rules, so I’m just going to get that over with,” he told you and you nodded. “Rule number 1: You must always wear a swimsuit when you’re on the hotel grounds. It prevents anyone without permission from hiding weapons, specifically firearms,” he started and you nodded, marginally reluctantly but willing to get past the idea of constantly wearing a swimsuit if it meant a stable, consistent place to live. Bonus points if that place to live was with one of your uncles. Besides, you were positive you could come up with a creative way to make yourself more comfortable with the constant lack of clothing - something like a coverup would probably suffice. “Rule number 2: All cards belong to the Beach. As I’m sure you’ve noticed,” he continued and pat the pocket where the card Chishiya gave him was. 
“Okay, but why?” You questioned. 
He chuckled. “Well, that is a story for another day. Perhaps tomorrow I will call for you and explain more about that.”
“Sure, that sounds alright to me,” you approved before asking, “So, what’s the third rule?” 
He took another sip of his bourbon before replying. “Rule number three: Death to all traitors.”
Your eyes widened, taken aback by the morbidity of his statement.
“Wait- really?” You asked, and he nodded, his face devoid of any particular emotion. “Well shit, there goes my plans of burning the place down,” you joked sarcastically and he cracked a smile at your behavior. It was clear he missed your mannerisms just as much as you missed his. 
“It’s a good thing this world hasn’t taken your humor, I hoped it wouldn’t get gloomy. Also, I’m glad you took that rule well. The last recruit took the news rather… aggressively.”
You didn’t really want to know what that meant. 
“Well, I’ll let you get settled in. I’ll have someone show you to your room and we can reconvene tomorrow. Tonight, you can go to the bathing suit room so you can choose one or two there. We definitely don’t have any shortages of them. Then, tomorrow in the afternoon, I will have someone come for you and I'll introduce you to the executives,” he planned. You stood up and nodded, giving him a hug and walking toward the door with him. Just before you could open the door, he stopped you with a serious look. “Oh, and… don’t tell anyone your relations with Aguni and me,” he whispered. You nodded in understanding and he smiled at you. He swung the door open and then gave a quick order to one of the guards, directing him to take you to your room. You shot a final wave at him before walking away. 
You stood in front of the mirror, evaluating one of the swimsuits you chose around a half hour ago. It was a green bikini and you were just checking to see how it fit before deciding to wear it for the day. Doing a little twirl, you checked how it looked from the back before deciding it was a good choice. Slipping on the sandals you chose along with the variety of swimsuits, you exited the room now appointed as yours, and started heading for the stairs so you could join the party. It wasn’t too late according to the clock hanging in your room so you decided exploring the place you would be staying for the next… however long, wouldn’t hurt. Stopping by the bar, you ordered a simple drink, one that wouldn’t be too much like a shot, but enough for you to maybe get buzzed. You tried to ignore the many eyes of the people by the poolside watching you as you walked over and claimed an empty seat. 
You weren’t alone for long as a dreadlocked girl in a blue bikini walked up and plopped herself onto the same seat as you, your knees skimming briefly before she moved hers away. 
“You’re the newbie, yeah?” She questioned and you wondered how she got the information there was a newcomer so fast. 
“Yeah, I arrived like 30 minutes ago,” you validated. 
“I know. I saw you walk in with Chishiya and head to Hatter. I hear you’re a wiz in Hearts games. That true?” She asked. 
‘Hatter? Huh, so he really took my comment to heart,’ you thought to yourself before answering the girl’s question aloud. “I mean, I guess so. I’ve survived all the Heart games that I’ve done so far so I think I’m decent at them.”
She gasped and her eyes widened. “The fuck do you mean all the Heart games you’ve done? How many is that?”
You smiled sheepishly. “Well I’ve done 8 games in total, and 5 of those were Hearts games.”
She gaped at you before forcing her mouth to close and letting out a sound of disbelief. “Shit, I can’t decide if you’re the luckiest or unluckiest person to exist.”
“I’ll help. I’m very unlucky,” you joked mildly and she laughed. Holding out your hand, you introduced yourself to her with a smile that she genuinely returned. 
“I’m Kuina. I’m sure we’ll be great friends.”
“I hope so,” you agreed. You got to talking about anything and everything that came up until the topic landed back on your experience with games.
“So eight games in total, huh?” She asked. 
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“When did you first arrive here?”
You sighed. “I’ve been here for about two and a half weeks. I spent the last week sleeping in a Plato’s Closet.”
She nodded in acknowledgment. “So you’ve done five Hearts games, right? What are the other three games you’ve done?”
“Yeah. Five,” you confirmed solemnly. “My first and second games were both Diamonds. Those, I was able to get past reasonably quickly but neither was a very high difficulty level anyway. The next three games were Heart games, the hardest of those was the Eight of Hearts that I did. Zero stars. Would not buy again,” you joked but she just looked worried. “Then the next one was a Spades game which wasn’t too bad. We had to scale the walls of a room while they were closing in on us. The rest were all Hearts. No Clubs though. I’ve heard those are about teamwork but-”
“But they’re also the easiest to get through,” you heard a voice interrupt from behind you.
“Chishiya!” Kuina exclaimed with a small smile. Turning around, you watched him as he casually strolled up with his hands in his pockets and sat down on the seat across from yours, facing the two of you. 
“Kuina,” he acknowledged back with a slight nod before his eyes found yours. 
“Hiya, blondie. You planning on abandoning me with another strange man?” You jested and you swore you saw his lips twitch in a smile. It was gone before you could be sure, though. 
“Wait, what?” Kuina asked, glancing between you and Chishiya who held an intense staring contest. 
“Hatter,” Chishiya answered for you and you saw Kuina nod out of the corner of your eye. 
“Oh, that makes sense,” she understood. Chishiya’s eyes flickered away from yours to glance at Kuina and you inwardly cheered at him looking away first. It was childish, but you couldn’t help leaning back smugly as you also turned to look at Kuina. “Strange man?” She laughed and you joined in. 
“Well, I wouldn’t consider a drunk man in swim trunks making out with a girl as another sat on his other side ‘normal’,” you scoffed playfully, remembering what he was doing when you first walked into the room and nudging your shoulder against hers. 
“Neither would I,” she agreed. 
You turned your head when Chishiya called your name, locking your eyes on him again. You were never one to shy away from eye contact so why start now. 
It didn’t matter that he was as attractive as he was.
“How did it go?” He asked you monotonously, referring to the talk with Hatter. 
“All things considered, I guess it went pretty well. He said he was going to call for me tomorrow and ‘introduce me to the executives,’ whoever they are,” you shrugged, taking a sip of your drink. The two shared a look, one you couldn’t decipher. You looked back and forth between them. “What?” 
Kuina snapped her eyes back to you, smiling brightly. A little too brightly. “Nothin-”
“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Chishiya interrupted her and she rolled her eyes before shooting him a light-hearted glare. 
“You shouldn’t interrupt people, by the way. It’s considered rude. Or maybe that’s not a custom on whatever planet you came from,” you deadpanned before casually taking another sip of your drink. Kuina let out a loud bark of a laugh before slapping her hand over her mouth, her shoulders shaking from trying to hold back her laughs. You tried to suppress the grin that threatened to overtake your face but it proved futile. Instead, you hid it behind the rim of your cup. 
That is, until, fingers wrapped around your hand as it still held the cup and brought it above your head. Turning around in confusion, your eyes landed on the culprit. He was tall, 5’10” - 5’11” if not already 6’. The black giraffe print long-sleeve button-up shirt he wore was unbuttoned, revealing the black tank top he wore underneath. He had a piercing through his left eyebrow and over his shoulder was an assault rifle which he held proudly. It was strange, he looked oddly familiar. 
He’s kind of cute.
He used the hand holding your drink, as well as your own hand, to bring it to his lips and down the rest before shooting you a smirk.
Nevermind. 
Loosening your grip on the cup, it fell through your fingers and hit the ground, shattering across the concrete. Slapping his hand away from your own, you stood up and turned to face him. 
“Can I help you?” You asked and crossed your arms over your chest, ignoring the worried looks Kuina was giving you. 
He smirked. “Well, if you’re offering.”
His eyes roamed down to your breasts with no shame and stayed there until you reached out to slap his chin to force his head up. “I’m not,” you mocked his tone and told him condescendingly. 
He let out an amused huff, sticking his tongue out to lick his lips and you noticed another piercing down the middle of it. 
“You a newbie?” He asked.
“What would you do if I was?”
“Well, I’d offer to show you around the hotel. I’m sure you’d have a very nice time.”
“Now who’s offering?” You sneered at him with a tilt of your head. 
“Get lost, Niragi,” Chishiya calmly told the intruder as he stood behind you. 
“Yes, Niragi. Please do get lost,” you reiterated his words with a little shooing motion of your hand.
“Yes, ma’am,” he complied, walking backward as he spoke before slowly turning around and strolling away. It was then you noticed the eyes that had been locked onto your interaction for the past minute or two. Some seemed impressed while others seemed fearful. You ignored all of them in favor of sitting back down next to your new friend and the man sitting across from you. The silent atmosphere soon faded and the loud conversations of the party continued. 
“You really should stay away from him. His group is… well, they’re not to be trifled with,” Kuina warned.
“Who is he?” You asked her, looking behind you at the empty space where Niragi just inhabited. 
“Someone you shouldn’t mess with,” she restated seriously, slightly irking you with how vague she was being.
“He’s part of a group called the Militants. You’ll learn more about them tomorrow, too,” Chishiya once again explained where Kuina was being vague about. Although Kuina was more sociable, his bluntness was the one thing you truly appreciated about Chishiya. 
“Thank you,” you said quietly. “What exactly is happening tomorrow?”
He gave you a smug smirk. “I guess you’ll just have to wait until tomorrow and find out then, Amor.”
“God, you’re such a little shit-wait… ‘Amor’?”
He didn’t say anything else, just keeping the same smug smile on his face as he stood and walked away. You ignored the heat rising to your cheeks and just thanked the fact that he walked away so you wouldn’t have to deal with him while you were so flustered. “Ignore him,” Kuina rolled her eyes from beside you. “He’s probably calling you that because of your experience with Heart games. Amor is also Eros, or Cupid, in Greek mythology. Chishiya’s a sucker for that shit.”
“Oh. Okay,” you replied, feeling annoyed at yourself for the small amount of disappointment that settled in at her words.
You scoffed in annoyance as you remembered the shattered cup on the floor, glinting and sparkling in the moonlight as it sat like tiny crystals on the concrete. “That bitch stole my drink…”

Teach me some bad words
Tumblr media
Fandom: Alice in Borderland
Pairing: (platonic) Chishiya x gn!reader, (platonic) Kuina x gn!reader
Characters: Shuntaro Chishiya, Hikari Kuina, Suguru Niragi
Used Pronouns: They/Them
Genre: funny
Warnings: some cursing words
A/N: Don’t ask me why Chishiya from all people is playing a spades game, just accept it and move on
P.S.: Reader flirts with a tiger than proceeds to smack the tiger with a walking stick
Tumblr media
Summary: You ask Chishiya and Kuina to teach you some bad words in Japanese. You don’t speak Japanese.
Word Count: 0.8k
Tumblr media
your native language wasn’t Japanese
to be honest, you can barely speak the language
you were supposed to be enjoying your holidays
instead, you were obligated to join these death or life games
and that’s exactly what you were about to do
You sat on the floor staring at the people walking into the waiting room while stuffing chips in your mouth. Beside you stood Chishiya in his iconic stance, leaning against the wall, and with his hoodie on.
“Teach me bad words”
Kuina, who stood beside Chishiya, chewing on her fake cigar, sent Chishiya a warning look. Chishiya looked down hesitantly, remembering the last time he answered one of your wishes. “Why do you want to learn bad words?”
You shrugged, “If I’m going to insult someone they might as well understand me.” Your eyes met his. You stayed like that for a solid one minute. You were expecting him to teach you the whole Japanese thesaurus for cursing words and to make sure of it, you activated your ultimate weapon: the puppy eyes.
The fake blonde straight-up ignored you. He just looked back up, lost in thought.
Was it wise to teach bad words to you? Especially to you? In the best-case scenario, you would use them wisely. Worst case scenario, your dumb ass would cause the next world war. That was the problem of you being a chaotic, dumb genius. At the same time, he was curious about how you would use the newly acquired knowledge. But again, he wouldn’t want to be responsible for that chaos.
You pulled from his jacket, demanding attention. “Oi, teach me a bad word. Chishiya, Chishiya, Chishiya, Chishiya, Chishiya”, you could go on for days if it meant getting what you wanted. “No, he won’t do it.”, Kuina looked down at you with a strict expression on her face and you stopped your actions immediately. Your eyes went from the shorter to her, then to him again and finally to her. A smile crept on your face. “Kuiiinnaaaa”, your face beamed with excitement the moment you spoke it again, “Can you teach me a bad word?” Chishiya couldn’t help but chuckle. He looked at Kuina expectantly.
“Okay”, she positioned herself in front of you. Neither Chishiya nor you had expected her to give in to your pleas. But he would soon realise her original plan. “あなたは美しいです”, she said. You blinked, “come again?”. She rolled her eyes and repeated the sentence until you had it right. “What does it mean?” “You filthy pig”. Chishiya smirked shaking his head. You smiled happily and mumbled the sentence several times for yourself before the game started.
The game consisted in escaping the area alive, as some zoo animals would be running wild and free, waiting for their next meal.
Hopefully not you
Niragi was having the time of his life shooting at the animals from afar. His maniacal laugh echoed throughout the whole place, just like the shooting sounds. “あなたは美しいです!  あなたは美しいです!!” Niragi looked down, trying to find the source of the noise. Then he saw you running away from a tiger as if it depended on your life. Which it actually did. It was nice to see you fearing for your life, but why on earth were you screaming “you are beautiful” so aggressively? He shook his head. You do you, he thought. It wouldn’t be the first time you tried flirting with your opponent to save your own ass. Maybe it could work, who knows how strong your charm was. He shrugged and continued blasting off the heads of the animals.
----------------- 
 Chishiya and Kuina were taking cover behind some vegetation, discussing the next steps, when they suddenly heard you screaming the words Kuina had taught you at the beginning. They looked in your direction, only to see you smaking the same tiger that had been pursuing you throughout the whole game with a metallic walking stick. The tiger had been shot several times by some beach people while you were running, and now the tiger was weaker and more vulnerable. Not only the tiger’s body was hurt, but also his ego, as he was hit with a stick by a young adult and getting destroyed by it. “ あなたは美しいです, you motherfucker!”
-----------------
“Should we stop them?”, said Kuina in between amusement and concern. “No, let them blow some steam.” Chishiya smiled satisfied. This was worth remembering, “Are you going to tell him?” “What? That that’s not an actual insult? They’ll figure it out, eventually”, she chuckled, and finally went to your aid.

(English isn’t my first language so feel free to correct any mistake you notice <3)
It’s valentines day y’all! And because I am lonely today I‘m writing this!
How Alice In Borderland characters react to you asking them to be your valentine
• Characters: Shuntaro Chishiya, Hikari Kuina, Suguru Niragi, Takatora Samura (Last Boss)
• Genre: fluff
• Warnings: hints that they may have sex
𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧𖡼.𖤣𖥧
Shuntaro Chishiya
Acts like it isn’t a big deal but is beyond happy
„If I wanna be your valentine? Sure, why not?“
Will take you out to dinner after his shift
He even has flowers for you <3
He won’t break his facade and won’t give you a single hint about how excited he is
Maybe a nice walk after you ate
Will bring you home
When you offer him if he wants to come inside he will gladly accept
If you don’t he will ask you for your plans at the weekend
„It was a nice evening. May I take you out again? How about saturday?“
On his way home a smile is glued to his face
I don’t think valentines day would have any value inside of borderland but I add a little something anyways: He will probably go on a little walk with you, chatting about anything besides death. He will be even more careful to show no emotions. Bonding in Borderland isn’t the smartest thing to do but he is aware that there could be something between you. Will eventually walk you to your room and maybe will spend some more time with you there.
༺♡༻
Hikari Kuina
Absolutely thrilled that you asked her out
„Of course. I‘d love to be your valentine!“
Of course she brings you flowers
You’ll go an a long walk in the evening
After you either go to her or to yours to warm up with a cup of tea
„May I stay?“/„Do you wanna stay?“
You two will laugh a lot together
„You wanna go out again soon?“
Inside of borderland you two will also go for a walk and ending up in one of your rooms. „Let’s go on a real date after we made it out of here.“
༺♡༻
Suguru Niragi
This man will act cocky as hell
„Be your valentine? Oh so that’s what‘s going on between us.“
Just as you start to question why you even asked he adds: „But yeah. We’ll have a nice evening.“
Well saved Niragi, well saved
If you want to have flowers you asked out the wrong person
Will take you out to a bar or to the movies
Won’t admit that he was quite excited about it
„Let‘s spend the rest of our date somewhere more private, you down?“
„We should do this more often.“
Inside of Borderland you two will most likely have sex. But not this let’s-have-a-bit-fun-while-we’re-here-sex more like i-won’t-admit-it-but-i-like-you-sex
༺♡༻
Takatora Samura (Last Boss)
He‘ll look at you like you just told him you’re from the area 51
„What?“
Wants to say yes but thinks it’s a prank
After a while where you just look at him waiting for a response he realizes that you’re being serious
His heart drops to his stomach
„Y-yeah. Sure.“
Has absolutely no idea what to do as soon as he‘s at your door
You have to guide him. This man never had a date before
You take him on a walk, talking about deep things like the meaning of life and stuff
When you invite him to stay for the night he will stay awkwardly in your room at first, not knowing what to do
Guide his ass down on the couch or your bed before he stays there all night
After a while he will warm up again just like on your walk
You’ll be the one asking if he wants to go out again and again he’s too stunned to speak, thinking your messing with him
„Yeah. I‘d- I‘d love that.“

hi hi hi can i please request a kuina (aib) x reader fic where kuina does the readers make up🙏🙏
kiss and makeup !
in which you let your darling gf practice her makeup on you.
cw : ooc! kuina, set after leaving borderland, typos (maybe)
Tumblr media
kuina glanced at you through the mirror as you were sitting on the bed and scrolling on your phone.
"can i do your makeup?" she looked at you with bright eyes.
"what? you want to do my makeup?" you looked back at her and saw her nod her head. "alright" you sighed.
you got up and sat on her vanity's chair. "hm, i think this shade would look good on you, what do you think?" she said referring to the lipstick shes holding.
"if you think so, it probably would." you hummed. she giggled as she turned the chair. "you're so pretty." she smiled.
you could feel your face getting hot, "thank you." you whispered. "you're welcome, pretty." she replied as she got done with applying the lipstick.
"it does look really good shade on you." she mused. you picked up an eyeliner, "you think you can put this on me?" you asked.
"ooh! yea." she sat on your lap and winked, "for precision." she said and took you eyeliner from you.
you were trying to not explode from how your face was to yours, also doesn't help that she's so pretty.
you glanced at her lips once,
twice,
thrice,
"do you wanna kiss me that badly?" she chuckled.
"you noticed?" you sucked in a breath as she moved closer, your lips so close to hers. "yea." she said and kissed you. the eyeliner had been long forgotten as she put her arms around your shoulder and pulled you closer.
she tasted like cherries, you thought. it felt like minutes had gone by before she pulled away. "your lipstick is smudged." she giggled as she uses her thumb to fix it.
"i dont mind." you replied breathlessly as you put your head on her. she played with your hair, and in that moment you knew that you really really liked her.

♡ Kuina ♡
Warning - Alice in Borderland S2 spoilers ahead - proceed with caution!
Kuina is such a great character - her backstory is so heart-wrenching, but the fact that she pushes past all she’s endured and remains a heroic person, even in the Borderlands, is incredible.  I was a fan from her first appearance on screen - I loved her attitude and style, and her friendship with Shiya too! (I really hope they meet again after returning home!) But I think it was her fight with Last Boss which really cemented her as one of my favourites. The duality of her fighting her demons and coming to terms with her traumatic past while simultaneously defeating a terrifying swordfighter with the martial arts skills she had previously resented - all while standing barefoot on broken glass - was just incredible! That was it, I was in love ♡
The King of Spades battle broke me - it was just SO BRUTAL. Everyone did so well but watching everything rapidly falling apart as the main cast got taken out one by one was absolutely heartbreaking. Kuina fought so bravely, and her being stabbed was incredibly painful to watch (kudos to Aya Asahina - she played Kuina brilliantly, and this scene in particular was so well-performed). Kuina later being helpless to do anything as An dies beside her was tragic, and the realisation at the end that An had survived because Kuina held her hand and pulled her back home with her (“let’s go back together”) was so beautiful and touching ♡
I was overjoyed to see Kuina alive in the hospital, and the scene with her father had me in tears again. The promise Kuina and An made to be friends when they got home makes me believe that they’ll reconnect in the real world. I can only hope for a cute little love story too, because I’m a huge sucker for the relationship between these two damn it!
As with my Chishiya piece, the face card designs are exactly as shown in the series, and I made sure to include all of the games Kuina plays!

Lost memories
this is a short story of Kuina x female reader
SPOILERS if you haven't watched all of it
fluff, angst
As I lie here on the floor, all I'm thinking is 'please, please be ok'. The king of spades shot me down after Arisu and Aguni blew the store to pieces but somehow the only thing I'm worried about is if kuina is ok
Kuina was the first person I felt like I could trust full heartedly with my life. We met during my third game after she saved me, we haven't been apart after that
One day at the beach a realization struck me, I have feelings for her. We were sitting by the pool as usual and i just couldnt look away from her. Her eyes, her smile, the way her voice sounds so soothing or the way ahe voices her opinion no matter what. I couldn't handle the fear. Fear that she wouldn't feel the same, fear that she would end up hurt or even worse, dead
I couldn't keep my head on straight with her around so one night I packed my things and decided to leave. Before I made it out the door Chishiya stopped me
"Going out a little late are we?" He moved from the shadows making me jolt in panic
"Jesus Chishiya, I told you not to do that again" I put my hand over my heart. His face remained serious
"Are you going to explain?" He raised on of his brows. I stayed silent for a moment before finding the right words
"I can't garuntee my survival with her around" I spoke quietly. He hummed
"Kuina" he confirmed out loud. I sighed and hung my head low
"I... I have feelings for her and whenever she's around I just can't think straight. All I think about is making sure she's ok" Chishiya nodded putting his hands in his jacket pockets
"You aren't going to say goodbye?" He asked walling closer
"I can't, if I do I would change my mind." I grabbed my bag and turned to walk out but stopped one last time
"Just... please tell her I'll be ok" I didn't have to turn to know Chishiya had nodded. After that I went off on my way
In the end it was fates twisted joke that brought us together again. Almost everyone was brought together to take down the king of spades. As we both lay here kn the ground, one with stab wounds and one with bullet holes
I started to chuckle causing me to choke on my own blood. Kuina turned to me with hard breaths
"What's... so funny" she managed to get out. She started to cough up blood
"I left so this wouldn't happen. It happened anyways... funny right?" My breaths were labored. Kuina had a slight laugh
"I didn't want to see you like this, I love you too much" I stared at the sky while kuina's eyes were trained on me
"You... love me?" Kuina asked, I could hear her voice get more hoarse. I looked into her eyes
"Obviously" I smiled, blood now slipping past my mouth. I looked at her like I did the first.time I laid eyes on her
"I... love you.. too idiot" she smiled and reached out grabbing my hand
"Where do you think we'll go after this?" I questioned. She looked to the sky with a tear falling down
"Maybe home.. maybe heaven? Who knows" as she spoke I could feel myself slipping away. I tried to stay just for her but all of a sudden I stopped breathing and my face went stoic
I groaned waking up. I tried to sit up but there were multiple bandages on my abdomen
"What the fuck?" I looked at my surroundings and found I was in a hospital. I looked to my left and there was an empty bed. I decided to grab a wheel chair and find out what happened
It took a while to get into the wheel chair but I just used sheer stupidity and willpower. I wheeled around the hospital until I saw a TV in the lobby, on the news they were saying there was an explosion and I was caught in it. I sighed and rested for a minute
"Miss? You shouldn't be out of bed! You should be resting!" A nurse shouted worriedly
"I just wanted to see what happened, I'll be back there in a minute" I reassured her
"Why don't I help you?" She was about to wheel me back to the room but another emergency came in and she was needed. She told me she'd be back as soon as she can. I leaned back into my chair until I heard a familiar name
"Hikari" I turned and it was a girl with her two parents, looks like she was caught in the explosion too. I couldn't put my finger on it but I swear I know her from somewhere
I waited for the girl to have her time with her parents. I was about to wheel over when the nurse came back
"Alright miss y/n, time to go back to your bed" I didn't bother protesting, she's the nurse not me. Once we got to my room she helped me get into bed, it was a struggle but we got it done soon enough
"I'll be back to check up on you soon, rest now" I nodded. I had this feeling that I forgot something but I just can't remember. I was so stuck on this feeling that I didn't notice when someone came walking in
"Do i... know you?" It was the girl from the lobby, Hikari I think it was
"I don't think we met but.. I feel like I know you from somewhere" we both sat there for a minute, staring. It didn't feel weird for some reason
"I know this sounds weird and you can totally say no but do you want to hang out sometime?" I asked her. She smiled and her face had heated a bit
"Yeah that would be cool"

What if I smashed my way into your requests and asked for some fluff of my (not) girlfriend, kuina. What would you say about that.
We just at The Beach and having the time of our lives. Like swimming and stuff!! Fun games you can play in the water too. Just silly water fun with Kuina is all I ask for.
(Perhaps you'll see me again) -Monster☆
"she's my sunshine in the rain!"
show: alice in borderland
character: kuina hikari
summary: it's one of those uncommon afternoons where the pool is empty. you and your friends are going to use this time wisely to relax and momentarily forget about how strange the world is.
warnings: g/n! reader, they/them pronouns, second person pov
hatter's birthday only meant one thing. a giant party was being thrown down in the clubs and bars. and while all other beach members went off to celebrate with their leader, you found yourself setting your swimming items down on a nearby beach chair, pool looking quite empty this afternoon.
"it's so weird, the pool's quiet." tatta says, holding the brim of his hat as he dips a hand into the water.
"you can hear everyone from out here." ann states, accompanied by the muffled sounds of cheering, laughing and music, "my guess is that they'll be partying until sunrise."
kuina was quick to be at your side, putting her things down beside yours. she shot you a smile. "are you going in the water?" she questioned, sitting down on the chair, "it'll be fun."
it was definitely hot out, and tatta had mentioned how refreshing it was just putting his hand under the surface. "i'll see. what about you?" you hummed out, watching as she pulled the cigarette replacement from her lips.
she sighs out, looking to the sky, "it's way too hot, i don't think i'll leave the pool once i'm in." a smile is placed on her lips once she sees you lock gazes with her. "if you come with, then it'll be the perfect day."
"is that so? then i'll join you." you chuckle, pulling out a towel from your bag for her. you set it on the free table, nodding to the side bar. "do you want a drink? i'll make you whatever."
she follows your movement and thinks for a moment before nodding her head. stretching her arms above her head, she mumbles, "a grapefruit cocktail?"
"sure thing." she offers you a wink in return. you smile, turning your head to the rest of the group. "anybody want something to drink?" you question, getting all of their attention.
ann and arisu shake their heads as usagi responds, shyly playing with the tag of her jacket, "no thank you, l/n."
arisu was already in the water, complaining about the heat a few minutes ago. he urged usagi to try the coldness, but she was a bit nervous. ann had been watching from her beach chair, glasses down onto her nose and book in hand.
tatta perks up curiously. "do you think they have chuhai?" he asks, getting up and excitedly walking into the bar and around the counter. he opens the fridge with a satisfied smile. "yes! they do! man, i love this stuff!"
chishiya, who only has his legs in the water as he was unwilling to remove his jacket, glances over his shoulder to you. "can you make me a kamikaze?" he requests, knowing full well you were able to. the smile on his face makes you roll your eyes.
"fine." you huff out, seeing kuina grin at you as she put her fake cigarette to the side. you leaned towards her, tilting her chin to press a kiss to her lips. when you pulled away, you hummed out, "you go first and i'll follow, alright?"
kuina nods, watching as you walk to the bar to prepare your drinks. getting up from her chair, she follows everyone else into the water. after a bit of convincing, she had managed to get chishiya to go waist deep into the water, looking a bit annoyed that ann wasn't forced to join in.
the heat was nice above you all. with the water so fresh and cold, it was easy to settle in. you had finished making the drinks and handed them out, some golden liquor in your own glass as you sat on the edge of the pool, legs dipped in. tatta had downed a few of his low alcohol level drinks, and joined the group with a cannonball, splashing even ann, who believed she was at a safe distance.
arisu was currently trying to beat usagi and chishiya at a contest of holding your breath under water. you watched in amusement as arisu and usagi went under with their eyes closed, not seeing how chishiya left himself above the water. with his hair already wet from tatta's attack, he had accepted tha the would have to join in on these games now.
a smile dawns on your lips as you see chishiya finally go under the water and hold his breath just as the other two rise up from the surface. even on days off, he couldn't help but trick his teammates. arisu and usagi both watch in awe as chishiya stays under the water for another two minutes before resurfacing.
kuina downed the rest of her drink, placing the glass on the far side of the edge beside you. "ah, it feels so nice to relax..." she sighed out, laying her head on her arms as she rest beside you, still in the water. you hummed in agreement, sipping from your glass. "you should come in already. you're gonna' burn."
you tilt your head as she lifted hers to stare at you. "soon. once i finish my drink." you retort, showing her the still half-empty glass. she frowns at you. "okay, okay. how about a kiss first?"
your girlfriend gives a groan, rolling her eyes at you, "seriously? a kiss?"
"you say that like you don't ask me for one when i tell you to pick up your shoes." you retort, leaning forward against your knees. you place your glass down next to you. "so?"
she's glaring at you a little now, but she does lean forward and press a gentle kiss to your lips. you hold her cheek, enjoying the amount of attention she was providing you before you hear a call.
"hey! look what i found!" tatta cheerfully announces, waving around a large bag of various water guns, "come on, let's have a battle!"
arisu excitedly pulls out a larger gun from the bag as tatta opens it on the pool edge. "sounds like a good idea. i haven't played with one of these in a long time." he jitters, already filling it up.
"and you, ann?" kuina calls, tossing her a pistol.
she catches it, putting her sunglasses on the table and inspecting the object, as if it were real. "i guess i'll have a go." she was a good shot, nobody could doubt that, and seeing ann dunk the gun to get water inside was a bit intimidating.
usagi pulls out a medium sized weapon. "i've never actually used one before." she mutters out, filling it with water like how arisu was.
"how about..." chishiya hums, retrieving a gun that was similar to usagi's, "ann, arisu and usagi vs tatta, kuina and y/n?"
"you don't want to join in, chishiya?" you say, handing kuina a gun as you took another.
"i'll be referee, and call out any illegal moves." chishiya states, already taking his spot on the side of the 'arena'. tatta had settled back into the water with a big gun, happily filling it with the pool water. "you may begin."
there's a beat of silence as everyone processes what the referee had said. then, ann shoots her water gun towards tatta first.
he recoils immediately, in the shallow end of the pool. "hey! ann!" he whines, arms up.
"the game started already." ann replies, already emptying out her pistol to tatta. chishiya shrugs his shoulders. he'll allow it.
as she goes to refuel, arisu aims towards kuina, narrowly missing as she ducks and aims her own weapon. usagi was still trying to figure hers out, appreciating the help that tatta was giving before she accidentally shot him in the face. you took one last gulp of your drink before avenging tatta by spraying ann first.
it was relaxing and quite exciting to be running around the pool like this. you all couldn't help but laugh at how arisu had slipped somehow and fell back into the deep end, not ending the flurry to attacks from your team.
tatta was always up and about only seconds after getting shot down. usagi, usually so collected and agile, was struggling to even aim and shoot the water properly. arisu had to assist her more times than she would like to admit. it was no question that ann would be so good at this either, and she managed to only get soaked from arisu's fall.
"kuina!" you called, feeling her hit your back with her gun.
"sorry!" she replies, lowering her weapon. she shrugs at you. "you were in my way!"
rolling your eyes, you go back to the range of attacks you put on arisu and usagi, not sparing a moment for them to gather themselves. you were ruthless that way.
chishiya clapped his hands from the edge of the pool. "illegal move, y/n." he states, making you throw your hands up in mock surrender, "they haven't reloaded. that's a two minute time out."
for your third time, you sit beside chishiya with your arms crossed. he has your water gun at his side, watching as kuina and tatta try to form a plan.
"how you feeling?" he suddenly asks, making you glance his way, "it's a nice day."
you agree, running fingers across your wet hair, "i'm okay. it just... it's nice to relax. you don't have to think about everything else." your eyes are trained on kuina, who aimlessly tries to get ann, "i miss it when we didn't have to worry about the militants all the time. they get on her nerves sometimes."
chishiya nods along, leaning back. "you know, before you two got together, she would always ask me to rig the game lottery so you could be paired up." he admits, and you smile in return, "she was obsessed with you from the start. and she was really happy when you asked her out."
"well she was always with me when you weren't around. it was hard not to like her." you state.
"you make her very happy." chishiya states, handing you your weapon back, "now go save her."
you blink, seeing your girlfriend getting cornered by ann and usagi as arisu goes against tatta. you sigh, taking the gun from chishiya and dipping back into the water, "i got it."
the grateful smile that lays on kuina's face when she sees you, that's something you could never get sick of.

I don't think chishiya would've made it past the Q of hearts. Really, the only two people who I think would've completed the game would be usagi and kuina.
The power of the girlbosses surpasses all

(English isn’t my first language so feel free to correct any mistake you notice)
• Characters: Hikari Kuina, fem!Reader
• Genre: fluff, angst
• Warnings: mentions of transphobia
My Girl
*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚
Kuina absolutely adores you. She can’t imagine to live without you anymore and she will do anything she can to bring you two back into the real world. She knows that she loves you and that she wants to share everything with you. Thats why she feels so guilty for keeping one of the most important things about her to herself. She’s afraid how you will react, afraid that you’ll maybe leave her or get angry at her. But she doesn’t want to have any secrets in your relationship.
She thought about for quite a while but eventually she decides to be honest with you. Yes she is afraid you might leave her but on the other hand, would she want to be in a relationship where she has to hide herself to get loved?
It is a cloudy night. You two meet up on the rooftop like you often do but this time you notice immediately that something is different. The way Kuina sits there, stiff like she is afraid to move, makes you worry.
„What’s wrong baby?“, you ask reaching out for her hands. „I need to talk to you about something.“ She avoids your eyes.
„Is this the reason your so tense?“ She nods, still looking to the ground. „I am afraid you may leave me after I told you.“
Your stomach starts to tie itself into a knot, nausea crawling up your throat. „Did you cheat on me?“ Now Kuina looks into your eyes and shakes with a shocked expression rapidly her head. „No! Of course not!“ Immediately you relax again. „Well then you don’t have to worry.“
„It’s not that easy“, she says. „You will see me completely different. You will be angry, probably even disgusted, you-“ As you raise your hand she stops her rambling. „Don’t be ridiculous“, you try to reassure her, literally tasting her fear. „I love you and whatever you’re about to tell me; it won’t change a thing.“
Kuina feels how tears starts to well up in her eyes, ready to flood her face. „I‘m-“, her voice cracks and suddenly she sees her father again, how much he hated her for not being his son. For living her own life and becoming the person she always dreamt of. For simply being herself.
„I’m not an ordinary woman“, together with her sentences, her tears explode and she starts to sob uncontrollably. „Of course you’re not ordinary. Your a freaking goddess.“
You understand what she’s saying, but still you just want to see her smile again. „That’s not what I meant“, she said with a smile on her lips after all. „I know but you should.“
She can’t help but chuckle under her tears. You always manage to cheer her up at least a little bit. One of the countless things she loves about you.
„I was born a boy“, she eventually explains further. „Okay.“ That’s all you say before you start kissing the back of her hands you’re still holding.
Speechless Kuina looks at you. „Do you realize what I just told you?“ You nod, kissing every knuckle of her. „You’re trans“, you repeat the information.
Of course you were surprised but honestly, it doesn’t matter to you. You met Kuina as the wonderful woman she is and nothing could ever change the way you see her.
„And you don’t have any issues with that?“, she asks further. You look up and letting go of her hands to hold her face. „Why should I? I don’t care what genitals you used you have. I met you as a woman, I fell in love with a woman, you are a woman. You are my girl baby. End of the discussion.“
Kuina can’t believe what she is hearing. „I basically lied to you.“ You just roll your eyes. „You didn’t lie to me. You just didn’t tell me everything which is totally fine. People can be cruel, especially about topics like that.“ Your understanding overwhelms her so mich that she can’t stop herself from shedding tears again.
With gentle gestures you wipe away the drops that are about to run down her cheeks. „Please don’t cry sweetheart.“ But Kuina can’t stop. Her heart is about to explode from all the love and happiness she feels.
„I love you“, she whispers, her crying almost robbing her breath before she kisses you over and over again.
