Prologue

You decided to bring them to the modern world and show them all the cool stuff there but was struck with the realisation that they would stick out like a sore thumb in the crowds. After hastily pulling some clothes you hoped would fit them out of your closet (and thankfully they did), you pull them to a nearby mall to shop for new clothes.

While looking around one of the shops, a sales attendant comes up to you and asks, "Are you shopping for clothes with your lover?"

Fukengaku denies it with a smile but if you squint close enough on his face, you would see the red blush that was slowly crawling to the tip of his ears. He isn't embarrassed that a stranger has noticed his obvious affection to you; instead, he is contemplating on whether you would notice it after it was pointed out so suddenly. So, when you tell the attendant that you were simply helping him to shop for clothes as a friend, he mentally sighs and keeps that same smile on his face for the rest of the day. 

It's alright, there were no gods nor curses that would tear both of you apart. It's okay to take it slow and steady this time-- although, it would be a lie to say that he didn't think of confessing right there and then when he noticed the same tint of red on your cheeks.

(More underneath!)

Mannendake flat out denies it and filters out everything the attendant says after that. Outside, he looks as calm and collected as ever. Inside, he's panicking harder than the first time he realised that he was in love with you. Was it that obvious to other people? If so, why haven't you noticed it yet?

He musters up the courage to sneak a peek at your face and feels his heart drop a little when you don't seem to give any reaction to being called a couple. He does admire the way that you quickly sweep it under the rug and persuade the attendant to give a discount on one of the shirts that you were planning to buy (like he wasn't eyeing that shirt to begin with) but a part of him can't help but feel disappointed that his crush was acting so nonchalant, as if you really did think of him as a friend. 

…. Maybe he should try a different approach in courting you. 

Hannya turns towards you with a teasing smile. "Well, are you?"

He laughs when your cheeks flush in an instant, smirking when you slap him on the arm and turn to the attendant while explaining that you were shopping for clothes as friends. He isn't even bothered by the way you emphasise the word friends because your reaction gave him confirmation that you felt the same way towards him. Truthfully, the reason why he agreed to come to the modern world was to learn how the people here confessed to the ones they loved so he could adopt those concepts into the most heart melting, show stopping, romantic confession that was ever confessed so that you would never leave him for another. However, your reaction made him think that for a brief moment, just a brief moment, that you would be alright with a simple three words as long as it came from him. 

Well, there was no harm in prolonging this game as long as you were still in love with him or else this could turn ugly very very quickly. 

Hikaru yells out a very loud "NO" before turning his face around to hide his extremely red cheeks. Seeing this, you couldn't help but tease him for his adorable reaction but all that results in is a pouty Hikaru that won't talk to you for the rest of the day. The most he would do is hum in agreement or shake his head in disapproval, occasionally throwing you a side look when you asked him to talk as if to say "you did this to yourself".

Was he overreacting? Definitely. Did he feel bad for doing what he did? Slightly. Did he wish that you didn't correct the attendant and say you were just friends? For sure. That was the part that upsetted him the most despite your relationship truly being like that-- at least, that was what it was on the surface. In truth, he had loved you for a long time now and has been meaning to confess for a while but whenever he thought of doing it, the ugly thoughts hit him again. How he wasn't good enough, how untalented he was, how you could never love someone as dirty as him-- however, when you decided to bring him and only him to the modern world, your world, he thought that he at least had a chance since that meant that he was special to you…. Right?

Maybe one day he will be able to push the thoughts aside and tell you how much he longs to be the one by your side until your last breaths. For now, he keeps quiet and hopes that his subtle affections will catch your eye one day.

Dodomeki does what she does best: observe. She tries her best not to stare while observing your reaction but the way her eyes never left your figure since getting here tells a thousand words to the outside eye. The way her lips curl up when she catches the subtle hints of embarrassment delights her greatly, perhaps even more so when you try to hide the embarrassment but she knows you all too well for you to hide anything from her-- not when she's observed you from the shadows for so long that your every thought and reaction is mere child's play for her to guess.

For years, she has tried to understand the love that she saw through the eyes of Master Tamamo's daughter but never did she think that she would fall for someone as hard as that great master had.

However, unlike that great master, she will make sure that you never leave her side nor sight no matter the cost. Even if a pair of eyeballs staring at her would never compare to the way you looked at her with those same eyes.
