Note

How Willow gonna explain her dads that she came back with a boyfriend l?

Ugh I’ve been wanting to write something. Got one in my drafts, but I’ll give an alternative drabble for ya 😜

“Papa? Daddy?” Willow teared up, fingers slowly loosing hold of Hunters as she walked towards the two men. The darker haired one lovingly helped up the one with dark green hair.

Then they turned to her. First a shocked expression on their face, then hope that didn’t want to be squished, then beaming happiness, all so fast that Hunter barely caught it before feeling the immense loss of warmth of Willows hold in his hands.

She ran fast, tears falling from her eyes as a huge smile graced her lips. “Dads!”

“Sunflower!”

“Honeybug!”

The three were soon it a happy huddled hug, tears falling from both Willow and the green haired man as the other seemed to try and stay strong for them.

Willow then pulled slowly away, cupping each of their faces in her hands, her head tilted to the side with the teariest happiest smile ever, “I missed you guys.”

That broke the bigger man, his sobs finally coming out.

They stayed like that for a few minuets as Hunter looked towards the others. Everything seemed to be right. Gus was happily reunited with his dad. Amity her twins and father. Even her zealous mother standing to the side trying to gain their attention but nothing came of it.

Eda, King, Luz, Camila, and even the collector seemed to have huddled their own group.

Hunter turned to find his old mentor of sorts. His breathe hitched in his throat and he froze in place. A new tightness in his chest as he realized that he had missed someone from this place in fact.

Darius.

The older man looked to hold an expression of sorts. Hunter didn't know what it was. Raine stood beside him and offered a small nudge. Before walking towards Eda and their makeshift group of hugs and stroytellings.

Hunter found his legs moving to their own accord at that. The familiar hot liquid reaching his eyes again before his walking turned into a full out sprint, teleporting at the last second to find his arms wrapped around the ex-abomination coven head.

"Little.. prince"

"Don't ca-"

"Of mine." Darius finished with a croak in his voice before hugging Hunter back. Full bear hug in fact.

Hunter hugged him for a bit longer before pulling away. "The human realm. It was... just like you said it. Like the stories you said your old mentor told you during our sewing lessons. The rain was cold and- and the plants didn't try to eat you, and they have other mythical animals- like the wolf!" He exclaimed tugging his shirt straight, "Look! I made it myself, they have a really cool sewing contraption over there!"

Hunter frowned when he saw Darius glance in another direction, "Sorry, I was talking to much."

Darius snapped back, a strange look on his face, "Not at all. Your sewing has improved quite well, you'll have to teach me a few tricks. I'm glad you were safe, Hunter. I just noticed something is all." He hummed mischievously.

"Huh? What?"

"Well if you must know, Isn't that the girl you went on and on about, what was her name? I don't know... Captain?"

"Willow?" Hunter glanced and felt his heart stop when he caught her smiling like that at him from over there. She seemed to gasp and look away, resuming her conversation with her dads. "Uhm I wouldn't say I went on and on, I mean she has plenty worth to go on and on about but I- Yeah that's her"

"Her dads hugging her like that... does that mean she was with you and the others in the human realm?"

"Uh. Yes?" Hunter asked suspicious of where he was going with this now.

"So after, what has it been? Months? Have you made her your girlfriend yet?"

"What?! No- wait. Maybe?" His mind flashed back to their hands intertwined right before and after the final showdown. She said he had meant a lot to her too. But in what way? She blushed... He noticed that too. He never saw her blush around the others. Maybe. "Advanced friends... maybe. I don't know-"

"Well what are you waiting for?"

Hunter took a deep breath and fisted his hands, "You're right."

He then breathed in and teleported unknowingly in between her and her parents, hands grasping hers as that bright red tinted her cheeks again, shock on her face.

"Are we dating now- I mean, am I your girlfriend- I mean are you my girlfriend now?"

Her face turned even darker at the question then she let out a small squeak as she looked behind her.

"What now? What is this?" The darker haired dad asked. A terrifying glint in his eyes.

Hunter felt himself shrink, or maybe he just felt that way under the killing stare her dad gave him.

"Gilbert, now honey, they were gone for months. She hasn't had a chance to introduce us if he is-"

Hunter gasped and turned towards Willow, he placed a quick hand on the side of her face and smiled sheepishly, "Never mind, I jumped to conclusions."

Her face fell with question and hurt even. He squeaked. "Not like that! Er- please just give me a moment?" He offered sheepishly.

She looked confused but her face filled with trust and she nodded before stepping back.

Hunter then turned towards the men, both questioning looks on their face. An almost amused smile on the green haired man.

He straightened his posture taking a deep breath and muttering a small apology to Flapjack that he couldn't be here to witness the moment he had encouraged Hunter to do for so long.

"My name is Hunter. I was the golden guard and Belos right hand man. I believed he was my uncle for so long and believed everything he told me. That the titan had big plans for me... that wild magic was wrong.. and dangerous. Along the way, I met someone. They were my best friend, and at the time I didn't know it yet. Luz, Willow's friend, introduced me to him. His name was Flapjack. He changed my veiw, encouraged me in the right direction, loved me for me-" his voice broke at that. Hunter took another deep breathe before continuing. "Flapjack, Luz, Gus, Camila, Vee, and your beautiful daughter Willow helped me see the truth. I know I did a lot of bad things before and blindedly followed a bad man and I know I'm not a witch or a human but I am me. I will do everything I can to be the best person that I can be, for myself, and for Willow." He chanced a glance and smiled at her. Her eyes were all teary, a hand to her chest, a beautiful smile on her face. "Willow told me you guys met during flyer derby, I- that's where we met. I am definitely one made from history... I don't mind repeating that..." He looked at both the men, meeting their eyes. "May I have your blessing to date your daughter?"

"..."

Hunter stood there, moments feeling like minutes, his galderstone stood still, anticipating their reactions. What their answer would be.

He didn't expect to be tugged into a hug a tight as this.

"On my titan that was so beautiful and sweet and just you are such a good person for my Willow." One of them sobbed out.

"You have our blessing." The other one said.

Hunter whimpered and hugged them back, before pulling away. "As long as she says yes." Harvey teased with a wink. Gilbert's arm wrapped around him with an approving smile on his face.

Hunter turned to ask Willow before being slammed into with another bearhug. The dark hair nestled under his chin, the rims of her glasses poking his skin but he didn't mind. "Is- is that a yes?"

She pulled away slightly, a glimmering shiny smile in her eyes and on her lips, "Yes!" She then pulled him in for a short but sweet and perfect kiss. "Thank you."

Also @avatarmerida for gracing the idea of Hunter wanting her parents blessing first in another one of your absolutely amazing fics! I loved that concept so much and just had to include it!

Just like the old times.

A/N: OH MY GOD THIS TOOK ME SO LONG GOD DAYUM MY BACK HURTS- so I might’ve gone a little too overboard for this one oopsies 🤭🤭- I’m not at all an experienced writer so I’m sorry if it’s crappy. This was suggested by an anonymous user! (let’s make out after this/j) This takes place during Crystalized in which Lloyd is trapped in his Oni form, defeats the Overlord, and becomes the ruler of Ninjago, but the Ninja found a way to get him back 😋

Nelson heard the sound of someone banging at the Newspaper Warehouse door as he walked over to it, putting his ear to the door. “When does the news sleep?” He muttered. “Never!” 2 familiar voices said in unison. He grinned, opening it up as Cole and Kai walked in. “Hey, Master Wu.” Kai muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. “Hello, Kai. Is Lloyd still in his Oni form?..” He asked, turning away from the table of scrolls while Cole bit his lip. “..Yeah..” He said quietly while Master Wu sighed, looking down. “Hey! It’s okay, Master! We all know Lloyd, he’ll be back in no time.” Jay assured him, putting a hand on his shoulder. “We don’t know that.” Skylor snapped, walking over to Jay. “We can’t just keep saying everything will be fine and not do anything. If Lloyd’s gonna come back, he’s not doing it alone.”

They all looked at each other, nodding their heads. “She’s right. I’m not about to lose my best friend.” Nya chimed in, standing up. “And I’m not losing my son.” Misako added.

“And I’m not losing my Student and Nephew.”

“So, any ideas?” Skylor asked, looking around. “Hm.. I feel like I’ve read something similar on Onis.” Misako walked over to the scrolls, scanning them until she picked one up, unraveling it. “Here.” She placed it on the table where everyone gathered around. “According to this, half-Oni creatures are able to be brought out of their Oni forms by memories.” Misako explained as Kai raised an eyebrow in confusion. “What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked. “It means that if you guys can maybe do something to him that will unlock a pleasant memory, he may start remembering himself and transform back.” They all looked at each other, what would be a memory that could bring him back.. “Do any of you guys remember maybe something that he enjoyed doing?” Kai asked, looking around. “Well, he liked playing video games and kicking out butts at it.” Cole said with a chuckle, Kai smiled a little, but it soon faded. “Yeah, but we don’t really have a gaming console so..”

Just then, a thought came into Zane’s mind. “..Remember whenever he got too arrogant or petty over the game and we would tickle him to ‘pull him out of his ego’?..” He asked softly. “Oh yeah! He would always brag over how much better he was and we would tickle him to pieces!” Jay laughed. “Yeah, and he…” Kai thought about it for a moment.. if this was going to save Lloyd’s life then it wouldn’t hurt to spill one of his secrets. “..He once told me while we were watching a movie that he enjoyed being tickled, and he even sometimes was petty on purpose just to get tickled.” Kai said, in which everyone became wide eyed. “AND YOU NEVER TOLD US THIS???” Jay suddenly yelled. “He told me to keep it a secret! But if it means saving my little brother, hopefully he won’t mind.” Kai chuckled.

“Alright, here’s the game plan. Master Wu will sneak outside and create a distraction to get his attention, once he flies down then Cole will knock him down and hold him down so Zane can freeze his arms and legs, then he’s all yours.” Skylor explained as they all nodded. “Time to tickle the ego out of this brat. Just like the old times.”

Vinny carefully parked his van where it wouldn’t be visible from the floating rock, turning over to Wu and Skylor who were in the back and giving them a thumbs up. Wu stepped out, walking over to the middle of the street as he took in a deep breath, channeling his elemental power as his hands glowed a very bright yellow. He raised them up, waiting to see what was left of his nephew.

Meanwhile, Lloyd, if you could even call him that anymore, turned around to see the 2 bright yellow lights as he let out a low growl, running and jumping off of the island as he landed on the ground, a crack forming on the road from the impact. He was face to face with Wu, looking at him with his bone chilling purple eyes as he was ready to strike.

“Now!!” Wu yelled out. Lloyd felt confusion fill him until it was knocked out when he felt something jump on his back, knocking him over. They flipped him on his back, Kai and Zane pinned his upper arms, Jay and Nya pinned his lower arms, and Cole pinned his legs. He struggled against them, they were surprisingly strong and able to keep him down as he looked up at them. “You.. YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR THIS!!” He shrieked, only causing mischievous smirks and grins to plant on their faces. “Well.. what if we did.. This then?!” Kai said, in which him and Zane buried their hands under his arms, causing him to jerk violently, but he managed to keep quiet while silently squirming.

“Ohh, tough guy eh? Jay, how about you help us out?” Kai turned to Jay who grinned widely. “With pleasure!” He used his elemental powers to give small tickly zaps to Lloyd’s sides and ribs. Lloyd couldn’t contain himself anymore as he bursted out into loud unsettling cackles. “Yeesh! You need some water for that?” Nya mocked, spidering her fingers over his tummy which got a much bigger reaction out of him. “NAHAHAHA!! I-I WILL KILL YOU AHAHAHALL!!” He screamed through his laughter. Cole then squeezed his hips, causing a familiar squeak to come from him as all of their eyes lit up like a festival in the night. “Ay, there’s that sound we all love! God I missed that.” He grinned, moving down and squeezing his knees and thighs.

While they were tickling him, Nya noticed his lower arms starting to slowly fade as a purple fog started slowly covering the air. “Guys! It’s working!” She yelled, in which they all saw. “Lloyd, do you remember the game we used to play. You would always bug me while i was working and I asked you this question. How many ribs does the average human have?”

Just that question alone sent memories flooding through his mind, his purple eyes widening as he saw Zane ready his fingers, meanwhile Kai helped him and held his arms. “So.. 2, 4, 6…” Zane counted, squeezing and drilling his fingers between each rib while Lloyd went berserk. His once unsettling and creepy cackle turned into a much nicer and familiar squeaky and high pitched cackle as he squirmed around. “Lloyd! You must stay still, now I’ve lost my place! Sigh I guess I’ll have to start over again..”

Lloyd could just hear the stupid smile in his voice as he started at the bottom again, his fingers climbing his ribs like a ladder as Lloyd’s squealy laughter filled the streets again. He couldn’t handle the teases being spewed at him left and right.

“Aww, his adorable laugh is back!”

“Look at him squirming like a worm!”

“Awe, seems the oh-so-powerful green ninja can’t handle a few tickles..”

Everyone’s eyes lit up as they saw Lloyd beginning to transform back. His Oni face was replaced with a familiar adorable grin and platinum blonde hair, his 2 extra arms had fully disappeared, although his purple eyes remained; now they just had to finish him off.

“Cole, care to do the honors?” Kai said, looking up at Cole with a smirk as Cole nodded and grinned, cracking his knuckles menacingly while nervous giggles bubbled in Lloyd’s throat. He paused for a second, the anticipation killing Lloyd, but before he knew it, Cole lifted his armor and blew the biggest raspberry ever directly on his belly button, rubbing his stubble into his belly as well.

Lloyd was screaming of laughter at this point, squirming and kicking like his life depended on it while he had a big happy smile implanted on his face. After what seemed like forever, Cole finished up the raspberry as all the ninja stepped away from Lloyd, begging to the FSM that it worked….

Lloyd’s eyes fluttered open, but they weren’t pink and glowing anymore.. they were green. A familiar green. He slowly stood up, looking around at everyone staring at him, his eyes widening.

“LLOYD!!!” All of them cried as they ran over to him, knocking him back down while they all hugged him as tightly as possible. Lloyd couldn’t contain his happiness as he wrapped his arms around them, sobbing quietly while they comforted him as much as possible, rubbing his back and stroking his hair. He was finally home. He was free.

“Lloyd!” Wu and the others yelled, running over and joining the hug. “We’re so glad you’re back.. you don’t know how relieved we are..” Skylor muttered. “I missed you guys so much.. I-I thought I would never get to see you again and that I w-would sniff be trapped forever a-and-“

“Shh.. It’s okay, we’re here..” Cole mumbled. Lloyd breathed shakily as tears continued streaming down his face. “I- ..I love you guys… I-I love you all..” He choked out between his sobs, his eyes puffy and red. “We love you too Lloyd… N-no matter what..” Kai said while he too began breaking down as Lloyd hugged him, burying his face into his shoulder.

Lloyd soon regained himself, breaking up the hug as he wiped his eye. “Well, seems Kai was right, leaking one of your secrets was worth it!” Cole said, ruffling his hair. “Wait WHAT?!” Lloyd slowly turned to Kai while his face turned pale. “…5 seconds Kai..” He muttered, in which Kai zoomed off, Lloyd chasing after him while the rest of them laughed

TWO WEEKS LATER.

Lloyd’s hair flowed in the wind while he stared down endlessly from the patio, his eyes locked on the grave in front of the monastery.

HERE LIES GARMADON.

LOVING HUSBAND, BROTHER, SENSEI, AND FATHER.

He felt an ache in his chest. This time, instead of hiding his tears, he let them flow down his cheeks while he took in a shaky breath. “I see you’re back over here.” Wu said, walking over next to him with 2 cups of tea, offering one to Lloyd in which he accepted it. “Mhm..” He mumbled, taking a careful sip of the hot tea. “..He was one of the bravest and sweetest man I’ve ever seen.. He never hesitated to stand up for his loved ones.. like he stood up for you.” Wu looked over to Lloyd who was wiping tears off of his face. “..Do you think he’ll ever return?..”

“Lloyd, my boy. He is already here.” Wu said, putting a hand on Lloyd’s shoulder as Lloyd looked over to him with a confused look. “..What do you mean?..” He asked. “I mean that his presence is here. You may not be able to see him, but you can feel him.”

Lloyd looked back down, his eyes slowly closing while he took in a deep shaky breath, his senses calming. He didn’t know why.. but he felt a comforting presence.. it felt familiar.

It felt like his father.

“..I can feel him..” He muttered. Wu smiled, putting a hand on Lloyd’s back. “Just like elemental powers, a person is truly never lost. They just have a new perspective. A new beginning.”

Dean points at one of the tapes on the filled to the brim shelves with a bright, enthusiastic, grin.

"Oh man, look sweetheart," the petname now rolling off his tongue easily, not a trace of the initial awkwardness he could feel when this things between them finally started in it, "I've to come back for this one, it's been years since I last saw a tape by this singer for sell."

He doesn't get a reply, which okay weird, but he knows Cas is listening, he turns around with the tape in his hands and he sees Cas has been typing away on his phone for a while, clearly lost in his own world. He has been doing this more and more lately, specially while being along with Dean out of the bunker.

"Huh, who are you texting man? Like, not for nothing, but you only know Sam and me, everyone else you know is dead," Dean winces at his own words, not an okay topic to joke about, he reminds himself.

Castiel looks like at him, wide-eyed, like a deer caught in the headlights, but then his expression changes, and he rolls his eyes, "I could be texting Claire for all you know."

Fair enough.

Dean only shrugs, he is kinda confused by Cas' behavior but he is also used to Cas' weird way of strolling through life so he isn't too worried about it.

Not until that very night, when, after falling asleep in the middle of a movie he so stubbornly claimed he wanted to watch, and even if he had declared he wasn't going to fall asleep watching it, he wakes up alone on the couch, their half empty pop corn bowl forgotten on the coffee table in front of it.

He rubs his eyes and stretches with a yawn, getting up and reaching for the remote, the movie already over, an obnoxiously loud melody playing as the credits roll by.

He turns off the lights as he walks out of the room and, soon enough, he finds himself following the muted rumble of two familiar voices having a conversation somewhere in the bunker.

"-so you have a whole list, then?" He catches, as he reaches the library's door.

"Yes, Sam, I don't want to purchase everything in one go, but I want you to help me found this tape on the Google, you know we don't really get along." Sam snorts at that, and that's pretty much the same reaction those words would get out of Dean too.

Also, did he say something about a tape?

"Only the tape then, nothing else?"

"Yes, Sam."

Dean, feeling bad for spying on them, decides to make his presence known then. He clears his throat, stepping into the room.

"Hey guys," and there it is, the deer caught in the headlights again, "Cas, man, you left before the movie ended."

"You fell asleep before the movie ended, Dean." Dean rolls his eyes.

"Everything okay?" Cas sends Sam a panicked look at that, nodding furiously.

"Of course, I was just helping Sam with his research, right Sam?"

Sam looks really done with their shit right now, but he nods along nonetheless.

"Vamps," he says, right as Cas says "demons."

Dean squints at them, because years of seeing Cas doing exactly that have rubbed on him, "that's a new one, vamp-demons, you guys suck at naming monsters."

Castiel walks towards him, lightly getting him to turn around and starting to gently push him out of the room, "you are right, it was Sam's idea, I told him we should have waited for you, but you know how he is, he never listens."

"Hey!"

"Good night, Sam." Castiel calls over his shoulder, ignoring Sam's offence.

Dean lets Castiel guide him out of the room and towards the one they share now and waits till the door closes behind them to turn around with an inquisitive look on his face, "everything okay?" He asks once more.

Castiel nods, busy moving the comforter out of the way so they can go to bed.

"Of course, Dean."

"You know," Dean scratches the back of his neck, he doesn't want Cas to know he was listening and that he knows they were lying to him, just because he doesn't want Cas to be mad at him, but he also would like to know if he has ever made Cas feel like he couldn't count on him for that kind of stuff, "I can help you find stuff on the internet too, right?" Castiel gives him an unreadable look at that, brushing non-existent dust off his pillow, "look I'm sorry but I kinda heard you talking to Sam and, well, if you need anything..." He trails off, looking at the floor, shrugging lightly. Castiel sighs from the other side of the room.

He doesn't look up until a firm hand closes around his chin, tilting his head up gently, "all I know about being human, I've learned it from you, you are the one that has taught me how to navigate this chaotic world, and I know you would help me with anything I need, and for that I am so grateful, but, well," he pauses, "you can't help me with this."

"Okay, then."

"You are going to make me ruin the surprise, aren't you?" Castiel steps back with a small smile on his face, shaking his head he makes his way to where his phone is charging on his nightstand. He makes his way back to Dean, all under his confused gaze, and shows him his phone screen.

It's the note app, Dean recognizes it, since he taught Cas how to download it and use it, it says "Dean" on the top of the screen and, right under it, the first thing he can read is the name of the singer from the tape he saw this morning while he was out with Cas.

"My memory isn't what it used to be, and I tend to get famous people's names mixed up, so I decided to write your favorite ones down, so I remember, I was going to get the tape for you too," he turns the phone around and scrolls down for a second, "I have the name of that roadside diner you claimed had the best pecan pie you had ever tried, so we can go together."

Dean doesn't think he can keep hearing what else Cas has deemed relevant about him, what other parts of him he has written there, he feels naked down to his very soul, observed, but is not making him uncomfortable.

On the contrary, he feels seen in a way no one has ever seen him before, through loving and caring eyes.

"You didn't have to do all that." He mutters.

"No," Castiel concedes, going back to his nightstand, "but I want to do it, it's the kind of thing you do for those you care for, I learned that from you too." He gets in the bed, using his hand to lift the covers on Dean's side, quietly waiting for him to join him.

"Good night, Dean."

"Night, Cas."

They turn off the lights and get closer to each other then, in the dark, Dean asks,

"So you weren't texting Claire after all?" He can't see Cas, but he still knows he is rolling his eyes.

"Go to sleep, Dean."

The sun and its shine | {YoriiUta}

Theme: Fluff

Note: READ THE SCREENSHOT IF YOU WANT INFO OF THIS BC I AIN'T EXPLAINING SO DON'T BE SURPRISED. /j

MODERN AU

slight KokuZan ofc 💀

procrastination>>>

also this is kinda rlly fast moving along bc it's a oneshot so... sorry bout that

"Yoriichi, do we have a project?" Michikatsu asked, looking tired as hell as he trudged down the stairs alongside his twin brother.

"Yes, why?" Yoriichi said. This time it was a History project. They were supposed to make an artistic representation of one of the World Wars for a reason nobody understood since they'd just been on the topic of something completely different.

"Wait, we do? When is it due?" Michikatsu said, suddenly looking wide awake.

His brother laughed. "In a week. Do you even know who you're working with?"

"Uhm... Sumi'?" he asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Sumiyoshi already started it for you I think."

"Oh. Great! Who's your partner?" Michikatsu asked, grabbing a bowl from the kitchen and searching the fridge for some food.

"Uhm... the girl who sits next to me always? I don't know if you know her. Her name is Uta." Yoriichi paused. "Ah, I need her contact number."

"Why, you gonna ask her out?" his brother teased, plopping down on a chair.

"No!" Yoriichi said, flushing. "I need to be able to speak to her about the project. I forgot we still didn't have each other's number's though we often work together."

"Yeah, how the hell do you do that then?"

"We just do it at school, like staying a bit later or going there early?" he said, chomping his bread rather aggressively in attempt to hide his embarrassment.

"Boringgg, how could you go to—... Wait is that why sometimes I wake up an hour late for school and you're not there??" Michikatsu said, a sudden thought striking him. "You dump me for detention to go on a book date with your girlfriend?!"

"We're not dating!! And I did wake you up but you always go back to sleep later!!" Yoriichi said, huffing. "Are Muichiro and Yuichiro awake yet? We need to drop them off to their school before we go."

Michikatsu rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine, whatever." He left his bowl on the table and traipsed up the stairs shouting, "MUI AND YUI GET YOUR ASSES UP IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL!!"

×××

"Good morning," Yoriichi said, nodding towards Uta who gave him her usual cheery smile as they sat down, waiting for the class to start.

"Good morning! How are you today?" she asked, lifting her bag and placing it on her lap, rummaging through it.

"I'm well, and you?" he said, turning his gaze to the front of the room which was full of students filing inside.

"I'm okay. Can we work on the project at lunch, maybe? I have something after school," Uta said, taking out her notebook and giving him another bright smile.

"Of course. Oh! And about that, I wanted to ask if we... could exchange numbers? We could more easily contact each other then," Yoriichi said nervously, unsure what she would say.

"Oh, sure! Ah, let me find my phone," she said, laughing and going back to searching through her bag.

"Alright," he said, taking out his own and waiting.

×××

Lunch period and everyone was filing into the cafeteria, lively chatter filling the air. (y'all guess what idk how middle school or high school is like irl except from books i've read ;-;)

Yoriichi stayed behind in class, waiting for Uta to finish packing her things.

"You ready?" he asked.

"Mhm!" She stood and the two walked to the library.

On their way there, they bumped into Muzan, who was Michikatsu's boyfriend.

"Oh, hello," Yoriichi said, nodding in acknowledgement.

"Hi." Muzan turned to Uta and stage-whispered, "Who is that? Your boyfriend?"

Yoriichi flushed. Why was it that people kept saying that??

Uta only laughed though. "No, he's not. We're only going to do a project in the library."

"But it's lunch time?" Muzan whined.

"You go eat with your boyfriend!" Uta said, sighing. "Where is he anywho?"

Muzan pointed to behind them were Michikatsu was walking down the hall.

The two turned.

"Oh, there you are," Michikatsu said, directing this to Muzan. "Let's go eat lunch. We can leave these two to their book party now."

Yoriichi sighed. "Don't cause any trouble."

"No promises!" Michikatsu said, saluting the two and dragging Muzan away with a wink.

"...Okay, let's go to the library now," Yoriichi said, rolling his eyes at his brother.

"Alright!" Uta said cheerfully, not seeming bothered at all by this.

"You know Muzan then?" he asked as they made their way down the hall.

"Yep! We've known each other for, like... since we were little," Uta said, turning a corner.

"Oh? Have you met my brother before?" Yoriichi inquired, tilting his head curiously in her direction.

"I've heard of him from Muzan here and there. We never really 'met', only just seen each other or spoken when he goes to steal Muzan," she said, laughing. "Have you got the part of the project you've done so far?"

"Yes, it's in my bag," he said, patting his bag.

"Mkay! Well, we're here now. Hmm... Do you suppose we should look at more of the books?"

×××

It was getting late and Yoriichi trudged through the halls of the school, having stayed back to wait for Michikatsu who was in detention—who wouldn't say why he got it.

Finally—finally—Michikatsu met his brother in the hall, an annoyed look written all over his face.

"I'm finally out!" he whined.

"Yeah, you wouldn't be in there if you hadn't gotten yourself in trouble again," Yoriichi said, sighing.

"Not my fault you're such a goody-two-shoes," Michikatsu huffed.

"You're the one who insists on making a lot of trouble... Shall we go now?"

"Yeah, okay."

As they walked home, Michikatsu recounted his day. At one point they'd decided to tell each other how their days went as they went home and it became a sort of tradition between the two.

"And... then I had detention and Prof. Urokodaki was being real strict again. What about you?" Michikatsu concluded, turning to his brother with a grin.

"Me? I mostly went to my classes and did my project with Uta," Yoriichi said. "Nothing quite so eventful about my day."

"Oh, Uta? Right. She and Muzan are friends," Michikatsu noted, walking backwards to look at his brother while he spoke. "Yorii'?"

"Hm?"

"Do you like Uta?"

Yoriichi spluttered and nearly tripped onto Michikatsu. "What? She's my friend! So, no, not like how you're implying," he said, flushed.

"But your face is literally redder than Muzan's eyes right now," Michikatsu said, poising his hands on his hips. "You do like her!"

"I do not!" He didn't, did he?

"Yes you do! You always look so happy when you talk about her," he said, jabbing a finger at Yoriichi's chest. "Just admit it!"

"I... I do not like her like that," Yoriichi mumbled. "Let's go home now. We're only a few blocks away," he said, moving quickly around his brother and dashing off.

×××

"Muzan!! I have something to tell you," Michikatsu hissed into his phone, glancing at his door.

"Hm? What is it, my love?" Muzan asked curiously.

"Yoriichi likes Uta!! It's so obvious but he keeps denying it. Anyways, you know Uta, do you know if she likes anyone?" Michikatsu said quickly, lowering his voice.

There was silence for a second before Muzan burst into laughter.

"What??"

"Uta was just telling me she had a crush," Muzan explained. "She said he asked for her number so they could work on their school project together or something and she went on gushing about how happy she was."

"...Yeah that's probably Yorii' then," Michikatsu said. He flopped down on his bed, his eyes still keeping a close watch on the door. He and Yoriichi shared a room, as did Muichiro and Yuichiro, so he had to be careful. Yoriichi was currently helping their younger brothers with their homework, though, so they had a little time.

"Mhm. Want to do something about it?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, hearing the smirk in Muzan's voice.

"Let's set them up. Ooh! We could invite them to go on a walk and coincidentally run into each other and then I'll steal you and we'll spy on them," Muzan said.

"Alrighty. When do we go? It's literally the middle of the week," Michikatsu pointed out.

"Yeah, uhm, how about tomorrow? Wednesdays we have less class time, so we can go in the evening?" Muzan suggested.

"Great! Text me the place and I'll tell Yoriichi to go with me there for a bit."

×××

"We rarely go on walks now, it's so nice to be out just... like this!" Uta commented, smiling as she skipped along the path.

"Yeah," Muzan said, his mind on the fact that they had to be at the park in less than two minutes and they were still fifteen minutes away from it. "I'll race you there!!" he said, dashing off.

"Hey!!" Uta whined, running after him.

They got to the park, tired as hell, but they were there. A bit late, though.

Muzan spotted Michikatsu looking confused at the tree they'd said they would meet at and pointed there.

"Uta, look! It's Michi and Yoriichi," he said, pulling her there.

"I'm still tireddd," Uta pouted, but followed him.

"Oh! Funny to see you here," Michikatsu said, looking relieved.

I'm sorry we're late, Muzan mouthed.

Michikatsu shrugged.

"Yeah!!" Uta agreed to Michikatsu's previous statement. "What're you two doing here?"

"Walking. Muichiro and Yuichiro wanted to come here," Michikatsu lied, pointing to his two youngest brothers who were climbing on top of the swing structure...

"Oh! They're so grown up," Uta said, her eyes sparkling.

Yoriichi agreed.

Michikatsu and Muzan's eyes met and the two seemed to be trying to tel each other the same thing before they made loud excuses to go check on Yuichiro and Muichiro to make sure they didn't fall and break their heads.

"Hmm, hello, Yoriichi!" Uta said cheerfully.

"Hello," he said, nodding at her with a nervous smile.

"It's really pretty this evening, right?" she said, moving her hands in a wide motion in front of her as if she were displaying a work of art.

"Yes, the sunset is beautiful," Yoriichi murmured. Like Uta. She was beautiful too.

"Do you like walking outside?" she asked, turning to look at him.

"It's nice. I like the air when it's a little colder, makes you feel... alive," he commented, nodding.

"Ohh, yeah!! It's nice for a little breeze anyways. When it's warmer I get drowsier," Uta said, tapping her chin. "Your brother is very lively, you know. He's always getting into trouble."

"Mhm." Yoriichi averted his eyes. Did she like livelier people? He had never been like Michikatsu, able to jump from one person to another. He'd always been quiet and on the shyer side, afraid to speak up unless it was important or amongst people he knew and trusted.

"You seem to be a lot better at keeping calmer though!" Uta said, smiling. "You're also lots more relaxed, I think."

Yoriichi looked up. "Oh..! Thank you?" he said quietly.

She nodded. "Mhm! I can never keep too quiet and I'm too energetic. Someone told me they would tape my mouth shut if I kept talking but then Muzan told them that he would tape them to an electricity pole in the middle of a tornado and they shut up," she said, laughing. "He's too harsh but he means well."

Yoriichi raised an eyebrow. People didn't like her energy? "I... I admire your energeticness. I never know how to be that social so... I keep quieter. You have a friendly quality to yourself that I find comforting," he said, offering her a smile.

Uta stared at him for a long moment and he felt like he'd said something wrong before she tilted her head and gave him a shy smile. "I... Thank you. No one really tells me that. I only konw that they like talking to me if they don't leave," she said, laughing nervously.

"Really? I would've expected more people to compliment you..." he said, trailing off when he realized what he just said. He flushed and turned away. "Uhm... Let's go check on my brothers and Muzan. Make sure they're not causing chaos?"

Uta nodded, her smile growing and her cheeks tinted pink.

×××

Over the course of the next few weeks, Michikatsu and Muzan continued finding excuses (to not make this so detailed/j) bring Yoriichi and Uta closer together, making up random things so they have to leave them alone together or inviting them over only for Yoriichi and Uta to third-wheel them, eventually going to a different room to talk.

Somehow, neither Yoriichi nor Uta caught on with these antics no matter how obvious they were. It couldn't be more conspicious and yet Michikatsu and Muzan still managed to get by all of this with everyone but the two victim's noticing.

And finally, their work paid off.

Because they were seriously running out of ideas.

"Alright, we'll leave a note to them asking to meet at the café, right? Then... pretend Yoriichi and Uta sent them to each other, I guess?" Michikatsu said, listing it out in his head.

"Right. There's another place across the street from it we can go to to watch them," Muzan said.

"Okay! It's settled."

×××

"Uta?" Yoriichi said, surprised to actually see her there. He'd recognised her handwriting—although it looked a bit messier than usual—and had come here to meet her.

"Hi! You... wanted to meet me?" Uta said, smiling.

"Oh! I thought you wanted to see me."

They stared at each other for a second then glanced at the café they stood in front of.

×××

Inside the café, it was very noisy and they struggled to find a place to sit after ordering their drinks.

"Soo, how're you?" Yoriichi asked, tapping the table mindlessly, unsure what to say.

"I'm fine! It's such a nice day out, no?" Uta commented, her voice ringing much clearer through the noisy din.

"Mhm."

They waited a bit, their minds both on the fact that this might as well be a date.

Then, quite simutaneously, they said, "Can I tell you something?"

They started at each other for a second and then Uta laughed, causing a smile to spread on Yoriichi's face.

"You can go first," he said gently.

"We can say it at the same time?" she suggested.

Yoriichi didn't know how they would hear each other then, but he agreed.

"On the count of three," Uta said. "One, two three."

"I think I like you," Yoriichi said at the same time Uta said, "I like you."

They blinked.

Flushed, Uta said quickly, "Y...You do?"

"Yes..." Yoriichi mumbled. "V...Very much so." His cheeks were a blotchy pink and both of them averted their eyes, unsure what to say.

"Uhm... Do you want to go out?" Uta asked nervously.

"I... I would!" Yoriichi said, his eyes shining much like hers did quite often.

She laughed. "I'm so happy!"

"Me too," he said. "Me too."
