(current) mizu as your childhood friend + lover
this is actually based on my self-insert oc’s story so i hope you guys don’t steal this oc lore idea for your own ocs 😭🙏 btw, these are much more longer headcannons just so you know!
- Both of you first met at Master’s Eiji home.
- Let’s edit the story a little: When Mizu snuck into Master Eiji’s home, you noticed her and tried to tell Master Eiji about it. Of course, he was well-aware (bro practically had super-hearing) about it but just brushed you off, wanting Mizu to make the first move for interaction.
- As she was hiding, you just ambled up to her and would hold her hand when it was freezing. God, just imagine two tiny kids holding hands like the amount of innocence in that is so 😭
- Secret! Secret! Master Eiji smiles everytime he hears you too running and laughing in the field outside
- When you guys play hide-n-seek, she would always hide at somewhere above your eye level so she could jump onto your back to surprise you
- You were her teenage crush but she was too afraid to confess because she was afraid of you seeing her more as a ‘brother’ and of ruining the friendship
- You try to help her out a little in her sparring like leg placement and hand positioning etc *
- Bro, the amount of physical contact is enough to make her explode… like she is NOT listening to you AT ALL when you teach her that
- Master Eiji always comments (when you weren’t around), “hm.. the big boy has a crush, I see…” + snickered just to annoy her further LOL
- He’s literally the gossip guy in an alternate universe 💯
- She honesty hated that she felt this way about you… like she should be devoted to her goal of revenge but her mind was so clouded with you it was difficult to balance her focus 😕
- She’s either (1) trying to impress you by slashing the air in random directions with an unnecessary amount of force and swiftness OR (2) she’s feigning that confused look on her face so that you’d come and assist her ><
- She adored you when you were so set on ensuring her sword fighting skills were the best they can be AA
*
Your fingers brushed down her wrists, shifting the palm further from the other on the hilt. At one glance at her, the redness blossoming on her cheeks was a clear sign of her embarrassment—was she insecure? With a soft sigh, you brush your fingers delicately on her arms. with a soft reassuring smile, “Hey, hey, relax.. make sure not to tense up when you’re fighting.”
At the same time, Mizu was practically internally screaming. Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Her little teenage heart was practically about to explode from inside of her chest at the amount of embarrassment and nervousness stirring inside. Her cheeks would flush, her breathing would grow heavy, her fingers slightly shaky.
“Mizu? You okay?” Your voice snapped her out from that daze.
“I—.. I’m alright..” she mutters as you shift her legs back a little to maintain her balance. Her skin tingled and before she knew it, she just blabbered out, “your hands are nice and warm.”
Her own words took her a second to process and she could not fucking believe she said that.
“No wonder you liked to hold my hand when we were younger, hm?” You giggled, running a hand down your hair as Mizu watched you with adoration, trying to imagine your hand caressing her own head.

College! Mizu x Dancer! Reader pt 2
I found this cute and old bachata song that I used to love when I was younger and I thought it'd be perfect for this. You don't have to listen to the song as you read this but I'll provide the link for it if y'all are curious about which one it is. I hope you like the song and what I wrote. Enjoy! <3
A/N: This started out as just like a blurb but kind of ended up being a bit of a story towards the end lol
Part 1
Tumblr media
Rehearsing your choreography with Mizu got easier every session. The more you two practiced the more comfortable and confident she became with the dance.
Dancing with Miu was such a fun feeling. You loved the feeling of her hand wrapped around your waist while the other was entwined with yours. The dance also ended with her dipping you and although you ended up falling and laughing on the floor a few times, she eventually perfected the move. And boy did you love staring into those blue eyes of hers as she securely held you by your waist.
The day finally came for your dance test. Mizu was a little nervous but you were actually fully and truly confident in the both of you.
"Look I know you're a little nervous but really there's no need. Mizu we've both worked really hard on this and I know we're gonna do amazing. Okay?"
"Okay," she nodded with you and delivered you a small smile.
"Great. Now let's go show these bitches how to do a kickass salsa dance," you grinned as you both excited your dorm and headed for your test.
After you perform your dance the both of you earned a really good reaction from the class. Grades wont be posted till later in the night but you were confident in your and Mizu’s performance.
To celebrate you and a few classmates decided to go to a club. You were a moderate drinker but mostly you all went for the great music. You invited Mizu who of course declined at first.
“Come out with me tonight. It’ll be fun and you deserve to celebrate with the rest of us!”
“I don’t know it’s not really my kind of scene.”
“But it’s Latin Night and they're gonna have a live band” you pleaded. “The place is a restaurant/club and their food is so good! They start clearing up some tables after 10 to dance but you’ll still be able to eat.”
If there's one thing that you learned about Mizu is that she is bribable with food and you began to see it on her face that she was seriously considering your invitation.
And now for the final nail.
“Also it’s my treat,” you innocently smiled to her.
"Y'know you can't just throw in 'my treat' every time you want me to do something," she sneered.
"But you told me begging never works and 'treating' you has been very effective so far."
"True, but I said begging never works when other people do it."
Your eyes slightly widen at what she implied and watched her as she put on her jacket and pocketed the keys to your dorm.
"Come on, lets go," she mumbled.
You squealed in joy and instinctively went to hug her. She stumbled at the impact but laughed and hugged you back.
When you got to the club you sat down with the rest out your classmates who decided to come out and ordered some food. You and Mizu were getting lots of compliments on your performance. One girl even pulled you aside and asked if the two of you were dating to which you confidently replied, "not yet."
Surprisingly, Mizu was having a really good time, mostly because the food was good but the music and vibes were also nice so she was genuinely enjoying herself.
That was until some tables were cleared for dancing and one of your classmates asked you to dance with him.
"You gonna be okay here for a bit?"
"Yeah, no, I'll be fine," she nodded but it wasn't too convincing to either of you.
"You sure? I don't want it to seem like I'm abandoning you, especially since I begged you to come with me."
"Don't worry about me. Go have fun, be in your element. I'll be here."
"Okay, just one quick song," you gently squeezed her shoulder before joining your friend on the dance floor.
Of course Mizu wanted to say no but she didn't want to hold you back and also you weren't together. It'd be weird if she expressed how much she disliked the idea of someone else dancing with you. Wouldn't it?
Her eyes were trained on you as you both danced. She loved the dress you picked out. It adorned you body in the most flattering way and flowed perfectly as you danced.
The dress looked lovely on you but she didn’t appreciate the hand placement of your current dance partner. In actuality his hands never strayed inappropriately but she just didn't care for them being on you at all.
A deep scowl was starting to form on her face and that's when she decided, although she wasn't much of a drinker, she needed one to cool off.
She walked to the bar and ordered herself a long island iced tea. At least now she had something to fidget with.
She’s so fixated on you she barely notices a girl is trying to hit on her.
“Hey, you’re Mizu right?”
“Yeah,” she dryly mumbled, eyes still trained on you.
“I thought your performance with (y/n) was really good!”
“Thanks,” she sipped from her drink. “It was all (y/n), she choreographed everything. I just stepped in as a favor.”
“Aw c’mon you’re telling me you didn’t improvise any of your moves?”
Mizu just slightly shook her head, relief taking over now that the song had at last concluded.
“Well,” she coyly rubbed on Mizu’s upper arm, finally succeeding in getting her to even look her way. “Maybe you can improvise some moves with me, or I'd be glad to show you some of mine.”
Mizu looked at her arm and then the girl, confounded and flustered by her actions. People had asked out Mizu in the past but no one's ever been this forward before.
“Umm…”
You were clapping for the band and thanking your partner for the dance, as that whole scene with Mizu was going on. The band announce their next song and you get excited as it's the one you asked them to play if they knew it [the song i linked]. However the excitement is quickly replaced with anger when you finally see the a girl, the same girl who had previously asked if you and Mizu were an item, feeling up on Mizu’s arm.
"Oh that little...!" you seethed.
If you were a cartoon smoke would be blowing out of your ears right now. You wasted no time in sauntering over and grabbing Mizu's hand and leading her to the dance floor.
"Hey partner, come dance with me," you spoke, directly eyeing the girl who invaded Mizu's space.
“I appreciate the save but I don’t know this dance,” Mizu warned as you reached the crowd of people dancing.
“Don’t worry it’s a really easy 4 step dance just do as I do…1…2…3….and 4….1….2….3…and 4..."
To Mizu's relief the dance actually was incredibly simple to learn. Pretty quickly she fell into rhythm with you and the music.
"Look at you go, now you can dance salsa and bachata," you praise as you twirl her.
"I owe it all to my amazing teacher," she praised back and actually went in to twirl you.
You gasped and laughed at the instant confidence Mizu seemed to have gained with the dance. A familiar and warm feeling began to bubble up in your chest. Maybe it was because of the music or the romantic lyrics. Or maybe it was because of how right it felt having Mizu's hands on you, to be dancing with her again. Regardless, you know the crush you had previously possessed for her has only grown stronger.
The song playing was one of your all time favorites, you couldn't help but mouth the lyrics as you both danced.
*Quiero ser tuyo enterito pero tengo miedo
Prométeme que no me vas a dejar sin tu amor
I'll give you my heart girl but you gotta promise
Promise you'll hold me, touch me, love me
Way past forever
Mizu spun you around and you giggled as you twirled, wishing you could live this moment forever. But sadly all good things must come to an end.
The song finally finished and everyone clapped at their performance. The band announced they were going to take a small break and that's when everyone scurried towards the bar.
"We can start heading back home now if you want," You said to Mizu.
"You sure?" Mizu asked, surprised that you wanted to leave early, it was just past 10:40PM.
"Yeah, I got an early class tomorrow. Did you have a good time?"
"Actually I did, maybe more than I had expected."
"Well, I'm glad," you smiled and quickly looked away, finding yourself not being able to look into her gorgeous blue eyes for too long.
Both you and Mizu said bye to your classmates, the girl who hit on Mizu was nowhere to be seen and secretly you were glad about that too. Mizu helped you put on your coat and together you two headed back to your dorm.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: This ending felt very MEH but I actually might make a final part 3 maybe see what happens when you get back to your dorm hmm? ;) I just felt like this already became longer than I was anticipating lol but I really hope y'all enjoyed it!
EDIT: i forgot to add the translation to the spanish part of the chorus
*I wanna be yours entirely but I’m scared
Promise me you won’t leave me without your love
Roughly that’s what it translates too! I adore this song y’all, to me its just so cute so i hope you like it 😭💖

Your Father's Daughter Mizu x Reader
Tumblr media
Word count: 3.1k
Chapter 2.
There were no words left to say for this assignment. You were to be in and out, and if anyone were to interrupt or attempt to stop you you kill them too. A quick disposal of garbage your father did not find fit for his future. 
The Kamiizumi’s are a family of wealthy merchants that began offering their financial help to support your fathers cause. They believed in his greatness and wanted to be on the right side of history, which you translated to being “On the safe side”. They were on whichever side that would keep them as one of the richest in the country and currently that was your fathers. They held no true morals and only believed in currency as time and time again it has proven to keep their hinds safe, stomachs gluttonously full, and even the darkest of their desires satisfied. As slimy as slugs on a wet leaf after it rains and with the same backbone as one, the Kamiizumi family were truly distasteful to you. It was an honor that your father sent you to cut off the head of the snake. 
Your father taught you that gossiping was a horrible hobby to uphold. A  hobby that should be left to women to carry as wasting time is not a task a man should be performing. And the head of the Kamiizumi family was a horrible gossip. Letting slip your fathers plans and his true allegiance to the young girls that frequented his home. And girls, they speak even if you aren’t listening. After a few sips of warm sake, and some comforting strokes on his pimpled back, he would begin spouting information along with his blank seeds. Red in the face for both stimulating actions.
 Yes, your father taught you a lot about this society and the responsibilities of women and men when you would have time for your talks. The importance of a man, and the subservient duty of a woman and what happens if order is not in place. 
“Everyone and everything should be in its rightful place, and it is the responsibility of Man to uphold this system.” he would explain. “If God were generous we would live happily, but we have hands and will and hunger. With these tools Man becomes king under the heavens.” he would speak the last part to himself in a low tone before going onto the next topic. “For on this earth, there is no God.” 
It isn't like you had forgotten you were a woman, the soft features were present on your face and though you were built petite, you could see the perk of your breasts in certain angles. You would catch yourself in the mirror at times when your mind would curiously wander on the topics of beauty; though these moments were rare. Other young women your age were a bit more developed, more womanly and full. You sometimes wondered what kind of woman you would have grown to become if you weren't so malnourished and underfed as a child. Would you have grown taller, with more slender legs instead of the thin ones you possess? Would you have more curves to your figure for your kimono to hold onto as you wrapped it around your body? Would your lips display as blossom petals on your face when you applied lip paint to bring out more color to your features? All these thoughts you let yourself explore for a brief moment as you prepared yourself for this assignment. 
Slipping on the okobo’s you had found, you headed into the night to begin. This wasnt your usual attire, but you were able to slip onto the Kamiizumi property on time without drawing any attention to yourself. In the late nights at the end of certain weeks, the Kamiizumi head of house would throw a small party just for himself and a few friends who shared his tastes. Young women. No not women, girls would be gathered like flowers in a vase to decorate his halls with their youth and essence. Him and his lowly friends would pick their favorites and pluck from them their petals of innocence and virtue. They would do this until they became too old for the weekly visits, or their bellies swole with budding life. Sometimes that wouldn't stop them. Through the halls you could hear the cries of children, and the moans of men. Two sounds that should never cross, you thought to yourself. Men like him were beastly. Barbaric. It was an honor that your father left the final say in your hand. You were glad to be the period to his sentence.
You took to wandering the halls, wondering which room would inhabit your target. You hated listening, but it was important for you to hear if you could recognize his voice through the acts or possibly someone whispering his name to lead you into the right direction. Finally you came across a room with its door shut. You thought to yourself what was the point of a closed door if you could still smell and hear everything going on within its walls.
“And he has eyes that are blue-” you heard one of the men inside the room grunt and then collapse onto the floor. 
“Like an Onryo.” You heard him finish in a pant. The thought of this man speaking on your father set a spark of fire that traveled through your skin. The only blue eyed man you knew was your father, his boss, and he dare spoke of him while relieving himself as if he were common gossip at a brothel. 
You moved to a far corner so that you could slip deeper into the shadows, but stay hidden from anyone who left the other rooms. 
“Its said that he disgraced the once honorable student now Samurai of the Shindo Dojo .” You heard another man speak. “Cut off the top of his chonmage.” The men ooo’d and and spoke amongst eachother. Some laughed, arguing if the samurai deserved it or not.
“I heard he opened the mouth of the beast and tore out the Four Fangs.” 
You caught on to what they were speaking about. The Four fangs were an elite group of assassins known across Japan for carrying some of the most lethal exterminations. Whoever it is that they were discussing was not your father as your father and that group have never crossed paths according to his stories. They were speaking of someone else. Someone more dangerous than the Four Fangs. You leaned in to listen.
“I would have paid good money to see that.”
“You fools would believe any lie. Any fool can say they defeated anyone, it doesn't mean they did. Look here, this small rabbit defeated the Four Fangs. Didnt you, sweetheart?” You heard a quick smack of a hand on flesh followed by a child's yelp and a gaggle of laughter. You winced. 
“Who is this nameless samurai anyway? Or can we call him a samurai?”
“A crazed murderer is more like it.”
“They say-”
“Who says?”
“Those who get the chance to witness him and live to speak-”
“Oh, God.”
“Anyway, they say he’s on some sort of mission. A friend of a friend-”
“A friend of a friend, he says”
“A friend of a friend has told me that he is hunting down specific people. People that arent of our own. Foreigners.” Silence as the men slowly began to understand what this meant.
“It is said he has already taken down one of them.” There was more silence before someone finally spoke.
“It was about time someone handled this problem.” This was the voice of the Kamiizumi’s family head. You recognized it by the wheeze of his lungs that followed behind every sentence he spoke. This was caused by his years of smoking, it has weakened him as a man. 
“I’m simply saying what we all are thinking. We all knew eventually we would have to rid our land of these white men. I will speak my mind, because I am the bravest.” and the dumbest, you thought to yourself.
“If anyone finds this “White man” killer, let me know. I will pay a hefty price to speak to him. Maybe we can be rid of our own..problem.” 
A few cleared throats and muffled “Im tired”s “I must rest” “Good nights” later and the men, and girls, came pouring out of the room, headed in the direction of their guest spaces. Everyone came out, but the Kamiizumi head was the last to poke out. He was just as ugly as you remembered him. His stomach left the door before he did, gray hair trailing from his navel to his exposed pubic region. His face was not a sight for sore eyes as it was heavily aged beyond its years and held craters and moles in different areas. His teeth were yellowed, and you couldn't tell if his hair was shining from grease or hair oil. When you have money, you don’t have to consider others. You can be as ugly as you want, inside and out.
He looked down the left side of the hall, watching his friends slip into their guest rooms. You watched from the right, deep within the corner. He would eventually shift and return back to the room and in doing so he will spot you here. After watching him for weeks, one thing you knew of him was that he couldn't help touching something shiny and brand new. For all he knew, you were a new girl brought to him that he had never experienced before. He would approach you, and beckon you into the room to comfort him into the night. And spot you he did.
“Would you look at that. Were you hiding behind all the other lovely dolls brought in, or saving yourself for last?” He approached you, lowering his stance which made the stench of alcohol and unkempt dental hygiene stronger. You backed away from the scent, but was sure to put on a face of fear. One of the benefits of appearing so young was being able to use it to your advantage. It wasn't the first time you’ve used this tactic. You would feign weak and feeble, younger than your true age. You weren't hideous, and once again if your mother had spent her money on feeding all of you more and giving you the proper nutritional value as a young child you were sure you would have grown into a full and beautiful woman; but now that you're stuck in this slightly smaller than average malnourished body you could take advantage of the people who viewed you as weak and vulnerable. This allowed you at times to exploit them and target their soft spots. Appearing weak and feeble allowed certain people to pull you in. Close enough for you to strike where it hurts. Men like Kamiizumi enjoyed torturing the weak and feeble. Even better, he liked naive. Untainted. Clean. 
He was eating the reactions you were feeding him out of the palm of your hands, his hunger striking again. You were sure to lower your face incase he noticed the hatred you held for him through your eyes. This also wouldn't be a good time to be recognized as he was now leading you into the room. 
“Lucky you I have energy for one more,” his laugh sounded like mud trying to push its way out of a small hole. “I’ll be sure to be slow with you so we can cuddle all night. The other girls your age like that.” 
The minute the door shut, the stench surrounded you, forcing itself down your throat. It was so strong you could taste the room, and looking around you didn't need much of an imagination to know the absurdities that happened in here. It was rancid. Repulsive. Revolting.
  You didn't realize he had begun speaking, rambling about whatever nonsense.
“There's something familiar about you, I can't pin it, but I like it..” Your senses were becoming overstimulated, and you needed to focus. 
“- and I can show you how a real man breaks in dolls like you. Don’t you worry though.” he began reaching towards you, and all you could see was his grimy sweaty palms and fingers as large as sausages threatening your personal space.
 “ I’ll be gentle…”. The buildup of skin under his fingernails. The scent. The sweat.
“...so you can come back.”
His blood was warm before it cooled and dried on your skin, spraying everywhere. This was erotic in its own way, except you got to choose what was being ejected. He reached for his neck quickly, trying to clog the deep slice you left in the deep layers of his skin when he was crawling closer. His usual gurgles were louder now, but he couldn't scream as you were sure to strike his vocal cords as well. The right price for someone who gossips as much as he does, you thought. 
“You-..” the realization hit him as he began to recognize who you were far too late. In the corners of the room, behind your fathers coat. He had seen you but as always too late.
He tried to let out some sort of noise to alert the others, but instead let out noises of a dying fish. Skillfully switching the dagger from one position in your hand to the next, you lifted your arms to deliver your fathers final say.
Approaching the entrance of your fathers study, senses of relief began to wash over your being. Home again, after another successfully completed assignment. You were drenched in blood from your hair, to the hems of your kimono. You overheard a conversation taking place behind the doors.
“Sir, I apologize. We didn’t know-”
“I knew.” You recognized your fathers voice, but it didn't sound like your father. There was no warmth, no peace.
“I knew, didn't I?”
“Yes, Sir..” The man sounded petrified, like he was pleading for his life. You approached the door to peek inside. 
“And you didn't listen.”
“Yes, Sir-”
“Say it.” 
“We didn’t listen..”
“Right.” You heard the hit before you saw it with your eye. The man let out a blood curdling scream before your father hushed him. You might've heard a bone crush beneath the grip your father had on the man, but you weren't sure. 
“You're going to fix this.”
“We’re going to fix this..” The man spoke through the pain, blood seeping out between his gritted teeth.
“And next time you’ll listen to me when I say to-”
“And next time we’ll listen to you-”
“Do not interrupt me.” Your father spoke, followed by more crunches and whimpering from the man. 
You watched now, this man who you called father, violently lashing out on one of his followers. You had never seen this side of him before. A colder, violent side to him. His usually groomed hair, now letting out a few strands as he overpowered this man. His top coat now removed. Everyone could get angry, but never your father. He was never angry. Never bothered. Never disturbed. He was prepared for everything, anything. It’s one of the things that made him above man, above all.
A few moments passed before he let out a sigh, releasing the man to drop onto the floor hard. He combed his fingers through his blonde hair, fixing it and then adjusting his vest. 
“I expect immediate results. Do inform me if anything changes in our favor, friend.” His voice was beginning to sound familiar, lighter, at ease again but not quite there yet. His strides are long, so he leaves the man on the floor to pick himself up and walks towards his desk, reaching  the other side of the room in no time.
The man throws opens the slide door and limps past you so fast  he didn't even see you. You stood there at the entrance of the door, but close to the shadows. If it was your father, he’d know you were there sooner or later. He would feel you. Your father would know. He’d know-
“Come,” the warmth in his voice returned and a wave of emotion washed over you, threatening to overtake you. All of a sudden you were five again, running into the safety of his arms. Approaching the side of his desk quietly, you made sure to ignore the blood on the floor. One of the house maidens would clean it spotless as if it never existed. Until then if your father has decided to not address it, so would you. 
One look at you and he clicked his tongue in disappointment. You had forgotten the mess you were in, and even worse you had brought yourself in the presence of your father looking this way. Shame shaded your cheeks before it was met with a damp towel, and the other with the padding of his palms. He held your head still as he wiped away the blood. He knew. 
If you were snow, you would melt in the palm of his hands, and if you were a himawari flower you would bloom in his direction. Though you weren't a child any longer, it was moments like this that made every mission, every completed assignment, worth it. Your eyes fluttered in comfort, before finally closing. Yes, this was your father, and that was just a moment that that man definitely deserved. The same way you have earned your fathers softness, and comfort, he has earned his harshness and was punished for whatever mistake he shouldn't have let happen. Simple enough. At the end of the day, it was this man who knew your strengths and weaknesses, it was this man who built you into who you are. It was this man who knew how to soothe your nerves. It was this man who made you great. 
“There, now I can see your face.” Your eyelids felt heavy in this moment, but you opened them still to meet his. A door opened in your mind, reminding you of the oceanside he took you to as a child. How he rolled the legs of his pants up so that you both could enjoy the water, your sudden shock of the coldness touching your skin followed by giggles and laughter, how you thought to yourself that his eyes reminded you so much of the sky’s horizon, how they were the same color as-
“The ocean.” The words slipped from your lips in an accidental whisper. 
“The ocean?” He repeated smoothly, pausing for the moment.
It was then that you were reminded that his eyes weren't the only ocean blues in Japan, and that these ones were possibly looking for him. 
“There is a man looking to kill you.”
Your father smiled and began wiping at your face again, tilting your head with delicacy. 
“There are a lot of men looking to kill me.” he said plainly.
“No,” lifting your arm, you rested your hand gently over his and met his eyes with a desperate urgency behind them.
“This one is different.”

Hi! I wanted to request a mizu x reader with the same glasses as her just the actual lenses are black out so you can't see her eyes at all because they're heterochromatic
Sorry that it took so long.
Mizu x fem Reader.
-Listen. If he's not a millionaire, it means I have to go. - I said to Yuri, closing my eyes.
-He's even pretty, and why do you need a millionaire? - my friend who was standing behind the counter asked me. Yuri has been a prostitute for about 2 years, but most of the time she just serves drinks in this brothel. All I do here is kill troublemakers. Some guy wants to take one of the girls home? Maybe another weird-smelling drink? Or maybe you want to come to this black room with me?
-Because a millionaire would have to hide from beating me and wouldn't do it as often as a normal man. Wait, is this a samurai? - I asked, looking at the corner of the brothel bar. There was a guy sitting there with a cape and a big hat. I couldn't see him very well through my tinted glasses.
-A millionaire would also find out that you're not actually blind and you're just pretending to get permission from the geisha to wear them.- Yuri replied and I quickly corrected myself so as not to look like I was looking at something.
-Shhhhhh. Someone else will hear. Give me my cane. I'll go to him and tell him I'll give him a drink at the brothel's expense. Maybe I'll finally end up with a big dick in my cunt instead of constant fingering, and it's done in such a way that I have to wonder every now and then whether someone has accidentally torn my uterus with a fingernail. It's not that I'm a prostitute, but sometimes when there aren't many brawlers and the geisha gets angry, I'll find some cutie with a six-pack.
-Okay, here you go. Just remember that it may kill you, so don't take too many risks. - she said and handed me the cane.
I got up and started walking towards him, pretending that I sometimes trip over things, but without spilling the drink that I had previously received with the cane.
I sat down in front of him and poured sake into his glass.
-You're not going to book any escorts?- I asked him with a smile.
-I'm not here for such things and I don't want to be infected with syphilis or another venereal disease.- he replied without any deep emotions. I looked at his face. His forehead was covered with a hat and his eyes were covered with glasses similar to mine, only his had orange lenses so I couldn't see the color of his eyes.
-You don't have to worry about such things with me. It's true that I had several sexual partners, but each of them was a virgin. - I encouraged him.
-So you specialize in virgins. You must have a hard time getting them into bed or you rarely have an orgasm. - he commented and smiled slightly.
-You don't know how. You usually have to pretend with these people, otherwise they will get so angry and may not pay you. And by the way, your glasses… Are they a family heirloom? - I asked him curiously.
-Not really they just help me just like yours help you, don't they? - he asked and smiled. Throughout the entire conversation, I forgot that my glasses had fallen down a bit. My one eye was green and the other was black.
I fell silent and adjusted my glasses.
-So you're trying to hide your eyes too? Yours are much better than mine. - he said and opened his glasses slightly so that I could see his blue eyes.
-During this short conversation, we revealed our important secrets.- I commented and adjusted my kimono.
-If you want, I can show you one more secret.- he said and I waved my head.
He took my hand and we went to one of the private rooms.
-Reader is busy today.- Yuri commented.

Kaji Fes.2023 Day 1 FULL Video [Reupload]
Find the original post from last night HERE. It doesn't show up on the Tumblr dashboard so only people who actively check my blog have seen it. I exchanged the video with an official one so I guess it might have been a copyright issue. Don't think I've ever had one, very interesting.
»»——  CLICK ME 🎁 CLICK ME ——««
❗FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY❗ ❗CREDIT me if you SHARE on other sites❗
I was quite excited to watch this since I only attended Day 2 last December. I didn’t necessarily regret not going for Day 1 but there were a couple of really neat songs in the setlist that I kinda wished I had been able to see performed live. The audio seems a bit dull but maybe it’s just me… Anyway, it’s still a pretty epic live. Please note that they decided to cut a handful of songs from the broadcast (probably to keep the whole thing at roughly 2 hours). The following songs are not included: fake garden, canta per me, she has to overcome her fear, I beg you and 砂塵の彼方へ.
Here are some random thoughts┗(•ˇ_ˇ•)―→
fake garden
canta per me
the world: Nothing much to say here. Decent performance but I liked the song more when it was led by Keiko.
Liminality: Loved, loved, loved this version with the amazingly talented Yuri Kasahara, Keiko and Kaori. The bridge here might be my favourite of all time.
in the land of twilight, under the moon: Never been a fan.
swordland: Another highlight for me. I think it’s easy to tell that I am a real sucker for YK’s guest vocalists that use a more operatic singing style.
she has to overcome her fear
luminous sword: Always been a big fan of Yuki’s SAO soundtrack. I understand why it gets performed a lot.
星屑: Even though this is a Keiko-centric song, I’ve never really liked it all that much so I don’t have much to say about it.
花守の丘: Solid.
we’re gonna groove: Those who have followed me for a while know how I feel about the accordion. I dislike this instrument with a passion and it’s just featured way too heavily here. Fun fact, when Day 2 started with the accordion, I got really scared and wondered whether or not I would enjoy myself.
Obsession: Can’t say I’ve ever heard this song before. Sadly, it’s nothing that leaves a lasting impression. Also, that accordion…(¬_¬) Weird choice for LINO LEIA. It was fun hearing Keiko sing a bit of English though.
千夜一夜: Once again, not familiar with the song. Like this one a bit more though. Generally, I think I prefer rito’s vocals over LINO’s even though I don’t really know why.
Point Zero: This is one of my all-time favourite YK songs and one of the few tracks I really regret not seeing live on Day 1. Another epic performance by Yuri Kasahara. God, I love her so much.
salva nos: Speaking of regrets, yup, I’ll admit it, I am pretty bummed that I missed this one. “salva nos” and “a song of storm and fire” were the very first YK songs I ever listened to and they quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. Without those two songs, I wouldn’t have looked into more of YK’s stuff and I certainly wouldn’t have discovered Kalafina. One day, I wanna be there for a live performance. At least I got to hear “a song of storm and fire” on Day 2. So grateful for that!! Anyway, super epic.
花の唄: No thoughts.
I beg you
櫂: Ahh, I almost forgot about Aimer’s Mizu no Akashi 2.0. It’s so funny to me that this is literally copy/paste. Lovely melody, I don’t even mind the vocals all that much but damn, it’s not even coming close to Wakana’s Mizu no Akashi.
朝が来る: Decent but nothing to write home about.
My Story: Ohhh, another score track from “Hanako to Anne”. I was actually blown away by Day 2’s “希望の光”. This is not as good but still quite nice. Weirdly enough I am obsessed with the uilleann pipes. How come I can’t stand the accordion but I absolutely love this instrument? Probably because I am really into the celtic sound?
Parallel Hearts: Ugh, never liked this song, not even when Wakana was still around.
stone cold: This on the other hand is a song I’ve always enjoyed but with Wakana no longer in the picture, it’s just not the same. Will never get used to the Kaori chorus. Sorry T_T Still like this though.
the image theme of Xenosaga II: Good stuff.
蒼穹のファンファーレ: Love that this is focusing on the FJ regulars. My favourite performance of the song so far.

Blue Eye Samurai characters as ATLA non/benders part 2
🏜️; Ringo —Sandbender
every pic in this post is from pinterest, I just did the collages
Tumblr media
He’s a little more difficult to place in a single element. I even thought he might be a non-bender, but that came more from internalized ableist thinking, and I feel horrible for that. Ringo would definitely be a bender, but I'm starting to wonder which one to put him in.
He has the versatility and adaptability of a waterbender, my baby can function in any scenario and I love him for that. He also has the spirituality, lightness and fluidity of an airbender, he can be anyone's spiritual guide, because of his enormous sense of hindsight and optimism. Have I told you that I love him? At the same time, he also has the resilience, strength, patience, and ability to listen and wait for the right moment of an earthbender. I also consider that he has the liveliness and burning spirit of a firebender... perhaps Ringo can be the avatar?
It would be interesting to see an all-powerful avatar who managed to overcome his disability. In ATLK we had Ming Hua, she not only had no hands, she had no arms, and yet she is one of the most powerful waterbenders we have seen so far in the avatar universe. What can stop Ringo from achieving something similar? nothing, just himself. But we already have a character who does not allow his "limitations" to be an impediment to achieving what he wants.
However, I don't want to name anyone an avatar in my theories. I feel it is not necessary to emphasize how powerful benders they could be. So, I was thinking about some element or sub-art that could compact all the characteristics of Ringo's personality.
And that's when I got to sandbending. It is an elemental art that caught my attention ever since I saw the episode of Appa's kidnapping. It is a sub-art that has a little bit of everything. It has the fluidity and speed/agility of airbending. The bending techniques are very similar to those we see in waterbending, plus it is a branch derived from earthbending. I think it would be the perfect element for Ringo.
While I'm sure Ringo would be a competent earthbender, I feel like this sub-art fits who he is much better. A unique elemental art for a unique character. Yes, give me three.
Furthermore, after having the most powerful god and owner of my insides, Gaara of the Desert, we can have an idea of how potent and advantageous it could be to have control of an element as changeable, light and potentially dangerous as sand.
And if we continue with my theory of Mizu being a waterbending prodigy, this duo would become a real threat to everyone. Just imagine Mizu teaching all the water techniques to Ringo so that he can improve his sand control, homie will be unstoppable.
Sidenote, if Ringo were a non-bender, he would be a descendant of the air nomads, which would explain his enormous connection to the spirit world. Additionally, he could have the recessive airbending gene. It would also be interesting if his story was based on Ringo trying to learn the history of his ancestors.
Ringo's potential backstory in the world of ATLA during the hundred years’ war
A diamond in the rough that just needs a little polishing
Tumblr media
I don't think his story will change that much. His father's restaurant could be in one of those isolated desert villages. That idiot may not even know that his son is a bender, his little head can’t conceive that someone without hands could achieve anything in life.
Maybe Ringo learned a little from watching the desert bandits who stop by from time to time for a nice bowl of soba. He could look forward to the sandstorms, so he could measure how much his control has improved.
One day he met a strange traveler, with a strong and stubborn spirit, with exceptional control of water. Ringo knew that his story to greatness began that same day and decided to follow that strange man so he could learn from him.
Although at first the relationship was cold and a little uncomfortable, over time everything improved and they became an unstoppable duo.
Ringo was filled with Mizu's physical wisdom, and Mizu was filled with Ringo's spiritual wisdom. You could say that they were meant to come together and complete each other, creating a good balance between them.

here's Mizu

Katsugi Chapter 2 preview
Tumblr media
... Coming Soon ...
Thanks again to my cowriter @todaywefvight!
Fic here, preview after the cut!
🌸 ⚔️ 🌸
read more here...
💠
Mizu’s stare is pierced with a flash of confusion as she processes what just happened. Tiger Mask didn’t attack, yet Akemi has taken it upon herself to stab him.
The pieces are starting to line up. Tiger Mask is Tokunobu. Akemi’s been away from home for a long time. It seemed that Mizu isn’t the only one there to retrieve Daichi’s daughter this night.
She’ll be damned if anyone else is going to claim her. Taigen is screaming in pain, obscenities fading into the background as Mizu grabs the woman’s arm and pulls, leaning in close.
“Run and you’re dead. You know how a kidnapping works, right?”
🩸
“Not my first time,” replies Akemi.
Not her sixth time, even. In fact, this makes lucky number seven. Not to mention all the training Seki has given her.
She places a hand on her kidnapper’s arm, speaks close to his ear, letting him stake out the Yakuza spilling into the room. “My friend over there says he has twenty three men in the club–”
💠
Mizu shrugs her off and puts herself between the advancing men and Akemi, stepping to create a narrower path to herself and to have the wall at her back.
“I’ll handle them.” Her tone is dark and certain.
Mizu readies her sword. The first man charges, closely followed by the second. He’s careful, swinging a downward cut toward her shoulder. Mizu pushes herself back on the balls of her feet like a cat, just enough for the tip of his blade to graze against her suit, but it does not pierce her flesh.
She’s already moving forward by the time he moves into a second cut, and her blade buries itself into his waist, stopping with a sickening sound of it notching into his spine. She rips it out of him, spinning counter-clockwise and keeping low as the next one advances, a neat upward cut to take his arm off at the shoulder.
His sword and arm land on the floor with a thumb and a clatter, mingled with his screams.
🩸
Akemi latches onto Mizu’s arm– when the kidnapper whirls on her, she refuses to back off, grabbing tighter, catching those cold blue eyes.
“Listen, these guys don't want me dead. You don't need to protect me from them. Use me as a shield and get us to the side door.”
💠
There is no time for hesitation. Akemi’s grip is strong, stronger than she expected for someone like her. She can take Akemi’s word for this, at least. After all, she stabbed Taigen.
The doorway immediately fills with more Yakuza, eyes filled with the intent to kill. Mizu could cut them all down, but her number one priority is getting out of here with her prize. One man steps forward, the others parting to let him in front.
“Kill everyone, then burn it down.”
Akemi tugs, and Mizu pivots to put her in front of her. And surely, there is pause in the enemy's posture. With a strong hand on Akemi’s bicep, Mizu backs up, opens the door, never taking her eyes off of them. And in a swift movement, she pulls them both through and slams it shut.

Aight so... I have a handful of OC stories I'd love to tell but I wanted to get opinions from other people before I do so here are some of them (This isn't all of them, just the one's I feel comfortable sharing right now):
𝕄𝕪 ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕠 𝔸𝕔𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕒:
Tenya Iida x Takuda Saika- A sheer chaos gremlin and the strict class rep? Sounds like a burning good time >:)
Shoto Todoroki x Ichika Nakamura- Woah, 2 half and halfs? Fire and ice, and Water and Land? Cool! Don't let him know she's always up listening to Cryptid stories!
Katsuki Bakugou x Ami Tsukino- "Holy sheet, she's famous!? I wanna be he‐" "She's severely abused by her alcoholic father." "Oh." "But she covers up her depressing home life with pretty much spending all her time with her friends!"
Neito Monoma x Koto Sugoi- Sweetest damn girl you'll ever meet with an extra sad backstory that I'm not going to tell because it will require a trigger warning list
Momo Yaoyorozu x Hanako Adakai- She was a shaman in training for a Navajo tribe, scooped up by a rich Japanese family, just trying to help whoever she can
𝔸𝕥𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕆𝕟 𝕋𝕚𝕥𝕒𝕟:
Levi Ackerman x Justise Elise-Grey- Holy trauma, she's got quite a bit. She ended up getting cared for by a baker and her husband, and now she's just trying to live out her parent's dream of knowing what's outside the walls
Armin Artlert x Faith Johnson-Grey- Justise's little sister, with a whole trauma list of her own.
𝔽𝕦𝕝𝕝𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝔸𝕝𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕥: 𝔹𝕣𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕙𝕠𝕠𝕕:
Edward Elric x Winter Quint- "Wellcome to the Krusty Krab, what's it be?" "I'll have, an emotionally damaged OC!" "How original..." "But she's severely emotionally constipated and can't express herself to save her life!" "Daring today, aren't we?"
Alphonse Elric x Remi Chi- Oh joy, more trauma... I feel like I'm getting a little repetitive with this.
𝔻𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕟 𝕊𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕖𝕣: 𝕂𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕥𝕤𝕦 ℕ𝕠 𝕐𝕒𝕚𝕓𝕒:
Inosuke Hashibira x Yuokari Mizu- I feel like I don't have to say anything more about trauma, but uh... this one's a hunter! And she has a dog! (Don't worry, the dog is fine)
𝕆𝕟𝕖 ℙ𝕚𝕖𝕔𝕖
1. Luffy x Rose Redd-
Is that... a nontraumatised character??? Oh wait wait... not a lot of trauma, just a shitty merchant dad she ran away from cause expectation and went to live with her pirate mom, followed Luffy, and is now his first mate.

Tweets about the Tetra Crew by Utako Yoshino
In preparation for Puyo Puyo Tetris 2′s release, we have translated some special tweets by the scenario writer of Puyo Puyo Tetris and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2! Please enjoy their insights into the characters.
https://twitter.com/utako_yoshino/status/434881346880540672?s=20
■ The Extra Efficient Tetra Crew: Ess, the navigations officer who specializes in technical drafting; O, the communications officer, equipped with all sorts of functions; Ai, the mechanic who can detect mechanical anomalies with his dowsing; Jay and Elle, who can forecast the future with a mysterious power when they hold hands; Zed, who single-handedly manages the crew’s mental and physical health; and Tee, who voluntarily cleans the toilet. 
https://twitter.com/utako_yoshino/status/1138392869490659328
Some have asked me, “What are the Tetra Crew's favorite foods?”  The following is noooot an official answer by any means (I must repeat this important reminder), and just me running my mouth. I’ll be happy if you listen while keeping in mind that this is my personal opinion. 
O and Zed... Well to begin with, I can’t really imagine them eating anything...  I can think of many different possibilities for Zed’s power source, but how does O function? ...Maybe it does eat after all. But I can't seem to think of what it would eat! O is...a forever mysterious being.
Ai is a dog, so wouldn’t it be cute if he liked Churu? I think it would be (Seriously!). I can imagine him happily saying, “This is a wonderful food that is both delicious and packed full of essential nutrients,” just to be depressed when he finds out that it’s a treat for pets on Earth. It would be nice if Risukuma was licking honey next to him at that moment. (T/N: Churu is a type of wet dog treat.)
I think Jay and Elle are extremely curious about things that give off stimulating sensations like carbonated drinks and Watapachi. These twins have the same tastes. It would be cute if Ringo offered them chips and said, "If you’re looking for something exciting, how about this?" just for them shriek at the spiciness the moment it enters their mouths. Ringo would earnestly apologize afterwards (T/N: Watapachi is a type of cotton candy with popping/crackling candy in it.)
Though this might be an obvious answer, I think Ess probably likes parfaits and cakes. They’re beautiful, come in many varieties, and are cute. It’s quite similar to her cosmetics-related spells, don’t you think? Ess isn't seeking anyone's approval with this, she just wants to be surrounded by cute things and be cute. That's the impression she gives me.
As for Ex, this is just my gut feeling, but I think he likes wagashi. He seems like the type to prefer things you can enjoy at a leisurely pace. He would have youkan or daifuku paired with a cup of tea as he admires the Constellation Zone with a contented sigh. That said, he would be grateful to receive anything! He'll even eat things containing whipped cream with a smile, though he's not fond of it. (T/N: Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets typically served with tea. Youkan is a traditional Japanese dessert made of red bean paste, agar, and sugar. Daifuku is a type of rice cake stuffed with bean jam/bean paste.)
For some reason, Tee also strikes me as someone who likes wagashi. He'd like things that are soft, jiggly, but not too sweet, like mizu manju. Since he's motivated by a burning desire to become stronger, he doesn't have many likes or dislikes, but squishy things are his weakness. Pudding seems like it would fit the bill, but for some reason I imagine him with wagashi instead. I wonder why? (T/N: Mizu manju is a traditional Japanese dessert made from kuzu starch and filled with red bean paste. It's somewhat translucent and chewy.) 
Ah, I just remembered something about Jay and Elle! I think they'd really like a certain crunchy ice cream!*  ...This thread has become entirely about "favorite desserts" rather than "favorite foods", huh. Please forgive me and take this as me talking about their favorite flavors rather than specifically naming their favorite foods. (T/N: Yoshino is likely referring to a popular Japanese brand of crunchy ice cream known as Garigari-kun.)
Pardon the messy sketch, but this is how I imagine Mr. Tee eating a “squishy, round, sweet thing (mizu manju)” for the first time. I took the opportunity to draw him in a yukata for this occasion.
Tumblr media
https://twitter.com/utako_yoshino/status/1137704496237203462
I won't be talking about how much I like certain characters here, since I already love all of the characters in “Puyo” and “PuyoTet”. Rather, I think often about the ways in which my understanding of them is still lacking. But tonight, I'll take this chance to talk about the Tetra crew. Please do reply with any questions you may have. I’m sorry if there’s anything I can’t answer. 
First off, Jay and Elle. I get the impression that they encourage each other by playing pranks. I think they may actually be rather lonely. But they can dispel all their worries by kicking up trouble! This is something they can do precisely because they are twins. They're quite a different pair from Yu and Rei.
Mr. Zed… Does he have a heart? Honestly, I have moments where I think of him as a program meant only for protecting Ess. He’s an AI constructed by Mr. Ex, after all. But I do believe that he experiences something beyond his programming when Ess hugs him. On top of that, his health management system is cute!
With Mr. Ai, what you see is what you get! He was a timid puppy to begin with, but when Mr. Ex picked him up, he made a resolution to be strong. I think that part of him is cute. As he’s quite intelligent, he likely reasoned that he couldn't continue on as he had before. I think his admiration for Mr. Ex also played a role in that. I very much want to see him support Mr. Tee. His ongoing character development is precious!
O is in a similar position to Puyo’s Carbuncle. It carries out an important role in the Puyo Tetris world by connecting Tee and Ex, but I think O’s inner thoughts are something we Earthlings can never hope to understand. What makes it trustworthy is the kindness it has for the people it interacts with. That's how I think of it, anyway.
Ess is a complicated girl, isn’t she? She’s entangled in her love for her “Papa”, but that isn’t her real Papa. Will she find out the truth some day? Though, I don’t think her love for Zed would change if she did find out. Besides that, I think the slight rivalry she has with Tee is so cute that I can’t get enough of it!
Ex wasn’t really a typical final boss. It's sad to be alone, but since he loves everyone, he wants to protect them. Yet, as he listened to Tee's reports, it became impossible for him to quietly carry on as the Keeper of Dimensions. I can understand those who think, "What are you doing? That's your job, isn't it?" But... I think he is a very loving person regardless.
All that's left is Mr. Tee, but... This is harder for me to write about. I feel like he was the one who changed the most during Puyo Tetris’s story. At the start, he was the Tetris King who commanded the S.S. Tetra, the unifying force of his lively crew. At that time, he had forgotten about Mr. Ex's existence...
This is true for the other characters as well, but I'll especially leave Mr. Tee to your imagination. If you have any questions, please leave a reply or DM.  I’ll see what I can answer without P&D* getting mad at me. (T/N: Production and Development)

Brothers anon back with ANGST at the very last question on part 2. Im honestly not positive myself how im gonna fix it. I have ideas but still. Hopefully this isn't to long.
Rans life at Mizu: For Mizu I've changed it a bit, history is still messed up to a point. But other people like Technoblade, Philza, Sam, Foolish, etc are now included with their own rooms. Ran idolized/choose Technoblade to follow. Followers of Technoblade are the only people in the City (expect for guards or police type people, though they also tend to be followers of Techno) that are allowed to freely carry weapons (after the proper training of course). Ran choose Technoblade because he wanted to protect those he loved and he was always interested in the art of fighting. He had two mentors, a women named Alma, she mostly did hand to hand combat and defense training with Ran, while a man named Fermin was a historical teacher, and taught him the history of wars and weapons more indepth than regular classes did. He had quite a few friends, though only a few close friends he often went to play games with or have sleepovers with (if you want angst, Ran was actually the one who discovered two of his friends bodies and had to report them, forcing him to go back a few times to see their bodies). Im pretty sure I mentioned it before but the brothers had a family of 6! Their mom was Ranya and was a 20% enderman hybrid, their dad was Seth and was a normal human, of course you know the brothers, their younger brother (14 years old upon death/a year younger than Ran) was named Lias and was human, and their younger sister was Memi (10 years old upon death) and was human. Ran was close to his parents, often having Ranya read him to bed and riding Seth's shoulders when he was young. He also baby sat Lias and Memi when everyone else was out, also helping them with homework and letting them sleep in his bed when nightmares happened. He loved his family and its when the murders and sabotages started happening did he choose Technoblade as his idol, to protect his family and seem intimating to whoever was doing the sabotages. 
1: When the carriage finally stopped Cletus jumped out and faceplanted onto the ground, screaming about how he was finally free and away from all the awkward tension. Grievous, Jackie, and Isaac where all close behind, all having a similar reaction. While Watson, Charles, and Benjamin had a calmer reaction simply walking out and stretching. Ran was the last to get out, and he had to be dragged out by Watson, but he fought being dragged out. He grabbed the edges of the carriage and screamed while being forced out. Ranbob was calmer, and while jumping out he accidentally landed on Grievous, forcing his head back into the dirt, who then let out a muffled shout of alarm before immediately getting up and confronting a nervous and apologetic Ranbob. 
3: He isn't the fastest at evaluating a situation, and needs ample time to make decisions. He also isnt the best at understanding emotions at times and sometimes needs a little push in a direction to understand. Also at points he gets into situations he doesnt know how to handle at all, at those times he almost shuts down with overwhelment, and the leadership tends to go to Benjamin for a while during it. 
5: Their healing potions, so they work over time, slowly working with the body to heal and regenerate, so they take longer to fully work. Poitions work generally the same (ingredient wise), but theres more steps. For a potion of harming, first you crush up and gently mix in a spiders eye into a Awkward potion, then put it on the brewing stand for 10 minutes, then after the Poison potion is made, you get another spider eye and roll it in sugar cane until the general texture changes into a more wrinkly and powder like texture, then crush that up and mix it into the Poison potion, put it in the brewing stand for at least 30 minutes, then it makes a harming potion. The process its generally the same for all the rest of the potions, though it depends on ingredients and how long they must stand on the brewing stand. 
7: I'll try doing that, thank you! Cause Grievous is a lil shit at times and encourages  violence as long as its not against him. I know you probably expect a deep answer but thats purely the only reason Grievous encourages it. It depends on what was said to Jackie, if its something that deeply and emotionally hurts Jackie, than he'd likely discourage him, instead comforting him and convincing him if he attacked the person he'll just feel worse. But if its something he knows Jackie can handle, he'll encourage Jackie to beat em up. 
8: Watson went almost everywhere, the only places he didn't go was The End, Mushroom Islands, Badlands, Ice Spikes, and Gravel Mountains (he saw them he just didn't wanna go in them), and thats because he never came across them or traveled there. He has a long bamboo that he uses to wack people over the head with when their being idiots, he has a framed nether star fragment that he found in a ruined and abandoned village (he doesnt know what it is he just knows its shiny and cool), he has some fur-lined outfits from the time spent in Tundras, and he has a book where he records locations of interesting formations he found and just a general record of stuff (how much food he has, the season, days until winter, when he should go on a supply run, etc). When Watson still lived as a kid in a village, he often went to watch the blacksmith (also the farmers, clerics, and others) and when he was old enough the blacksmith showed him how to make a multitude of weapons with different materials. And now he pushes the limits of what he's learned from that and over the years to make brand new weapons. And since I'm not sure if you where also asking about Ran, Ran only went to Plains, Covered Forest, Tundra, Savanna, and Tagia biomes. He has a dagger (specifically a Zorlin Shape dagger) that he took off of a hunter when he killed them, has parts of iron armour (shoulder and chest pieces, with the pieces that go on his shins), again some fur-lined clothes from his time in the Tundra, a selfbow, and also has a book similar to Watson's, but his has notes of potion affects,crafting recipes, mobs to avoid, etc. Visiting the nether is not common at all! Infact no vists it expect travelers or people who get hired to go in for potion ingredients and building supplies. Jackie does eventually give up painting, and instead picks up the hobby of annoying people and just training. It actually goes pretty well, there are rules put in place during it to protect them, but other than that its generally the same as the one played in our world. Jackie wants to vist those biomes because he thinks there cool, and thinks their good starting biomes to vist for a beginner adventure. Yep, Ran says its way to dangerous to go to the nether, especially with almost no one knowing how the nether works. Though actually Watson wants to bring the others into the nether, saying its a good learning experience and no one will learn how to survive if they dont go. Ran still agures its too dangerous though, citing the Piglins and Ghasts as evidence, but eventually, after much begging and negotiations, Ran agrees to let them go. They just need to listen to Ran and Watson teach them about the nether and follow everything they say to a T while in the nether. 
9: Jackie screamed while being thrown, but after that and a bit of stunned silence, he jumped up and demanded for Ran to throw him again. So he enjoys being thrown, and sometimes he specifically requests to be thrown, so he can curl into a ball and slam into people like a goddamn canon ball. Porkius was also shocked into stunned silence, but after he saw Jackie get back up and demand to be thrown again, he just started bellowing in laughter, you could hear his laughter even echoing a bit outside of the Pit. 
10: Then you may be happy to know, but I believe at the end I'll make it so after the brothers have fixed their relationship, their still being haunted by Dream, and eventually the decision gets made to go back to Mizu and face him. Where Dream has actually escaped (Due to a big group coming in, and him being able to convince them to take the Mask with them) so now they have to hunt him down. And when they finally find him you can bet someone (or multiple people) are going to punch him. 
12: He does tell the fishermen about these thoughts once, but the fishermen sadly fail at comforting him and changing those thoughts, so he decides to keep it inside and suffer in quite. Though 2 people do see his suffering, Ran and Grievous. Grievous is debating if he should step in and ask what's wrong and if he can help, while Ran just watches (though he does feel some hurt watching his brother suffer, though he denies it). 
13: They all had a blast there, Charles showed Jackie how to make flower crowns, then they went and made one for everyone else, Ran just laid in the grass and tried to relax, Ranbob eventually joined in with the flower crowns, Watson was telling Grievous all the meaning of flower colors and what certain flowers stand for, while Isaac and Cletus chased eachother around and eventually got Jackie, Grievous, and Watson involved in a game of chase. They did leave after a General battle, as that was one of the things they had to do for Porkius to approve of them leaving. Porkius still wants them back in less than 5 years, though they can take like a year or 2 longer max. Jackie is technically a general, though the general title he has is specifically only for the Pit matches and instead is more of a like final boss title. 
14: Again its very much like a abusive relationship. Ranbob believes Dream has changed because of distant whispers from Dream (only happened while they still lived at the fishermen house which is kinda-close to Mizu) promising he has changed and he truly wants to help Ranbob, and saying how he can help Ranbob be of more use to the fishermen and since Dream did actually help Ranbob at first, he wants to believe him. But once they get futher away from Mizu, the whispers disappear, only rarely appearing in his dreams. Cletus doesn't really help, not because he doesnt care but more because he doesn't know how to help, he knows its a very delicate situation and saying or doing the wrong thing could hurt more than help, so he decided to play it safe. Charles tries to help, though he provides more physical help, like hugs to ground him or showing him how to breath again, while Benjamin and Isaac tackle the more internal issues and do so comfortingly and gently. Making it so Ranbob only notices their actually helping when he starts to do things on his own and no longer has such strong and often urges to return to Dream. 
15: One night when Ranbob is off getting firewood and Ran is off checking surroundings to make sure its safe, the Hunters actually get into the camp and holds everyone at sword and bow point. Ran sees them when coming back and actually, though hesitantly, decides to wait for Ranbob to come back. And once Ranbob is back the two make a plan to rescue them, which goes mostly well. Ran gets shot in the stomach and Ranbob gets a sword through his arm, but other than that they do manage to rescue them. Watson jokingly says how they've finally made progress and that they can now work toghere without fighting now, Ran growls at this and storms away, denying it, but Ranbob just nervously shuffles and sits down, letting Charles tend to his wounds, as Jackie chases off after Ran to tend to his wounds. I really want them to stumble across the Wild West ruins and maybe The Masquerade ruins but im not sure how I'll get them to either. 
1: Haha, ouch. Poor Ran. Nice backstory though. I can only imagine how he must have felt, coming across those. Does him choosing Techno have anything to do with him choosing to enter the Pit? Also how did Ranbob feel about killing his family? We’ve talked about the guilt about hurting Ran and stuff, but about the ones who weren’t as lucky to escape?
2: That sounds like...a scene. Funny, but probably not until a few days after it happened for the people who actually had to go through it.
3: Is Isaac the type to get overwhelmed easily? But very nice to see Benjamin helping out! 
5: So basically just tossing some real life logic in there? Hmm, interesting.
7: Hope it helps! Nope, no deep answer. That’s about what I expected actually. Grievous has that energy, y’know? Also, very sweet of Ran to comfort Jackie. Does he ever get revenge on Jackie’s behalf? He doesn’t strike me as the type to let that go, especially if it actually hurt somebody he cared for. Him otherwise encouraging it..yeah, sounds about right. Gremlin children.
8: Sounds like he’s really been a lot of places! He must know a lot, huh? Also, he just...wack? Cause that’s kind of funny. He watched others beside the Blacksmith? Did he learn anything from them? Ran personally sounds very intimidating. Though if he has potion notes, does he often make them? Is there a particular reason Nether travel is no longer common? Also, would the gang ever happen to stumble across ruins from the time of the Smp? Cause that’d be kind of cool. Jackie’s new hobby sounds very nice, I hope he has fun doing it. How long does it take before Ran deems everyone ready for the Nether? And do the Fishermen also go through, or do they prefer to stick to safer grounds?
9: I bet the first time the fishermen saw that show they were surprised. And honestly, Porkius, I’d laugh too. 
10: I am happy to know that! Well, not the escape bit, but the punching, for sure! You go, guys, punch that neon green slimeball!
12: Oh no. Does Grievous ever step in?
13: Sounds like they had a good time, I’m happy for them. And a final boss title? Is Jackie like a final boss? What differs between them fighting as the general, and as a typical gladiator?
14: Hm, that’s not good. What is good is that he’s getting away from Dream’s influence. Did that have anything to do with the group deciding to head to Subbin? 
15: Well, progress is progress! Surely it’s a step in the right direction, right?
Also, not really a Brothers AU question, but as you may have noticed, I pinned a post of all the AUs on here, and I was wondering if you’d like me to put yours on there too. Obviously, I’d put it as yours. I wanted to earlier, but I figured it would be better to ask, so tell me your feelings on that.

Boyfriend (Beta): Sagisaka Shu (SSR) - Planetary Chocolate
Tumblr media
CV: Sakurai Takahiro
Proofreaders: ~ Mizu 水野はな ~
Heroine name: Takamiya Akane
IMPORTANT: Under a friend’s suggestion, I will be reposting my old translation of Boyfriend (Beta) from my blogspot on this tumblr as well. Only the ones I have posted of course. But I will change a few things here and there. Looking at my blogspot again, I see everything was terribly made and some things were hard to read. I did this translation years ago so the quality might be bad. I didn’t change much either.
TRANSLATION UNDER CUT
Like a Couple’s Relationship
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1
Takamiya Akane: (Hmm, where’s the next lesson’s notes…… found it)
Sagisaka Shu: --Akane. Can we talk?
Takamiya Akane: Ah, Sagisaka-kun. It’s rare for you to visit my class. What’s wrong?
Sagisaka Shu: Do you have any plans next Thursday after school?
Takamiya Akane: If you’re talking about next Thursday…… it’s the 14th. No, I have nothing planned.
Sagisaka Shu: If you’d like, do you want to go together to this?
Takamiya Akane: This is the Valentine’s day Illumination Event flyer……?
Sagisaka Shu: Yup. It seems like it will be held at the central park for a few days. The guy from the editorial department from my previous job had work so he gave me his couple’s ticket to the event.
Takamiya Akane: I see. Wow, there’s a mini live concert on the 14th, and a workshop too. It looks fun…… Ah, but―― This is a Valentine’s event right? Are you fine going to the event with me? It’s a special day after all, isn’t it better if you spend it with your precious person……?
Sagisaka Shu: To me, you are a precious person. That’s why I want to go with you.
Takamiya Akane: (Eh, does he mean…… Ah, I see. He meant it as a precious friend) Thank you for inviting me. If you’re fine with it, please let me go with you.
Sagisaka Shu: That’s great. Since the event starts in the evening, on the 14th, shall we go home from school temporarily and meet up again after that?
Takamiya Akane: I agree. That way, we’ll be able to leave our stuff. *Giggles* I really look forward to it. (Ah, I should bring along chocolates later to thank him for the ticket)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2
Sagisaka Shu: It’s as the weather forecast predicted, it’s great that the sky is clear.
Takamiya Akane: *Giggles* I feel the same way. ――Ah, which reminds me, thank you for today. Even though it’s cold, you went out of your way to meet me at my house…….
Sagisaka Shu: We met up late because of me so please don’t worry about it.
Takamiya Akane: If I remember correctly, you said you were at the astronomy club’s meeting.
Sagisaka Shu: Yes. It was suddenly decided this morning. Since it was an important meeting, the club president told me that I should definitely attend, I couldn’t refuse……. After the meeting ended, I went home to get the tickets, but it was already late. Actually, I wanted to reach the meeting place earlier and take a look around but……
Takamiya Akane: It couldn't be helped since you had club activities. You need to change into warmer clothes as well, and since the event had just started, I believe that there is still so much more for us to enjoy.
Sagisaka Shu: Yeah, you’re right……. But Akane, I always thought of spending more time together with you even for a little while longer.
Takamiya Akane: Sagisaka-kun……. (That means, he has fun whenever I’m with him, right? I’m really happy that that he thought about it that way)
Takamiya Akane: Ah, I see it. ――Wow, it’s beautiful……!
Sagisaka Shu: It is really is……. I’ve come to this park many times but somehow, it looks like a completely different place today. I’m so glad that I came to see this with you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3
Takamiya Akane: ――Weird? Those people over there, are they perhaps TV station crew……?
Sagisaka Shu: Since they’re holding cameras and microphones, they probably are. This event is even featured in the magazines so they are probably here to collect data.
Takamiya Akane: (Wa-, my eyes met the female reporter’s eyes)
Reporter: I immediately found a lovely couple. Let’s hear what they have to say!
Takamiya Akane: (Eh, co-, couple!? Is she referring to us……!?)
Reporter: Good evening! Please let us know your thoughts on the illumination.
Sagisaka Shu: Eh? Well…… I think it’s beautiful. Besides, I’m really enjoying myself. It’s probably because I’m watching it with my special person.
Reporter: Special person is it……?! Both of you are really lovey-dovey aren’t you!
Takamiya Akane: Tha-, that’s not it, our relationship is noth-……!
Reporter: Mr. Boyfriend, which part of your girlfriend do you think is the most charming?
Sagisaka Shu: Well…… I like her cuteness and her kindness――plus, the part where she always smiles as she listens to me speak, I think that it’s great.
Takamiya Akane: (Be-, being praised in such a straightforward way is kind of embarrassing…... The interview somehow ended but…...) I-, in the end she thought of us as a couple throughout the interview.
Sagisaka Shu: Yeah…… Now that I think about it, she mentioned the word “couple” when she called out to us. I don’t particularly mind and I don’t mind being mistaken as a couple if it’s with you.
Takamiya Akane: (Sa-, Sagisaka-kun sometimes say amazing things without realising it)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4
Takamiya Akane: The mini live concert was amazing.
Sagisaka Shu: Yeah. Where shall we go nex――, ah, it’s already this late…….
Takamiya Akane: Ah, it really is. Somehow it felt like time just flew by. But, I had a lot of fun――…….*sneezes*!
Sagisaka Shu: Akane, perhaps you’re cold?
Takamiya Akane: Yup. We’re always staying outside after all and my fingers feel really cold……. I should’ve brought out my gloves. Ah……. (Sagisaka-kun is wrapping my hands with his…...)
Sagisaka Shu: It really is cold……. Your hands feel like ice. I would lend you my gloves but I didn’t wear them today as well…… I know. If we do it this, it will warm you up a little.
Takamiya Akane: (Omg, Sagisaka-kun stuffed my hands into his pockets……!?)
Sagisaka Shu: ――Your hands, are really small. Somehow, they make me want to protect them.
Takamiya Akane: (*Whimpers*, in this situation, we look like an actual couple…...)
Sagisaka Shu: It looks like it’s almost closing time. It’s late as well so I’ll send you home.
Takamiya Akane: Eh, but for you to go that far, I’d feel bad.
Sagisaka Shu: I’m sending you home because I’m worried. Can't I ……?
Takamiya Akane: Sagisaka-kun…… thank you. In that case, I’ll have you send me home. (It gets really dark in the neighbourhood around this time too…... As I thought, it’s better if I don’t return home alone)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5
Takamiya Akane: Thank you for today, Sagisaka-kun. I’ll be fine around he――*scream*! (A bicycle rushed out from the corner of the street……!?)
Sagisaka Shu: Akane......!
Takamiya Akane: (Owww…… I fell down as I was trying to avoid the bicycle)
Sagisaka Shu: Are you okay? Sorry, I was about to catch you as you fall but I didn’t make it…… 
Takamiya Akane: Please don’t worry about it. I’m totally fine….. Leaving that aside, I’m sorry. I can’t involve you in something like th―― wait, Sagisaka-kun, your hand……! 
Sagisaka Shu: Hmm? Ah…… Seems like I got cut a little as I fall. But, it’s just a graze so I think it’ll heal on it’s own if I just ignore it.
Takamiya Akane: Bu-, but, if the bacteria gets in, it’d be terrible. We have to disinfect it quickly……! I know. My house is just up ahead and I’ll treat you inside. Shall we go?
Takamiya Akane: Errm, we should wash the wound first then apply the antiseptic. ――Does it sting?
Sagisaka Shu: No, I’m fine.
Takamiya Akane: I’m relieved that it’s a shallow wound. Ah, I’ll stick on a band-aid just in case.
Sagisaka Shu: Ah, thanks. …...Hmm? Come to think of it, your house, it’s really quiet. Is there no one else except us?
Takamiya Akane: Yup. Dad and mom are staying outside to attend a relative’s memorial service…... (No-,now that I think about it, I’m alone together with Sagisaka-kun)
Sagisaka Shu: Akane......? Your face is red, what’s wrong?
Takamiya Akane: Eh? We-,Well, it’s nothing. I’m going to prepare some tea!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 6
Takamiya Akane: Here, black tea. It’s hot so be careful. And here, if you’d like…… I prepared some chocolate as a thank you for inviting me out today and for just now.
Sagisaka Shu: Is that so…… thank you. I’m happy. Can I open it?
Takamiya Akane: Yes, of course. Please.
Sagisaka Shu: Ah…… This is that planetary chocolate, right? The orange one is…… Venus. This white one looks like Neptune. Every one of them is beautiful. Somehow, it’s a shame to eat it.
Takamiya Akane: *Giggles* I’m glad you like it. But it’s still chocolate so why not have a taste?
Sagisaka Shu: Ah, that’s true. …… Hmm, it’s really delicious. Moreover, it seems like each planet has a different taste. Would you like to have a taste?
Takamiya Akane: Eh, but it’s the chocolate I prepared for you…...
Sagisaka Shu: It’ll definitely be more fun if two people ate something delicious together.
Takamiya Akane: Re-, really? If that’s the case, I’ll try just one. Wow, there’s a slight coffee taste. It’s delicious…….
Sagisaka Shu: Ah……. Akane, there’s some chocolate near your lips. 
Takamiya Akane: Eh, no way, where? I better wipe it o――
Tumblr media
Sagisaka Shu: Here. …… It really is good. The coffee tastes delicious as well.
Takamiya Akane: (! Sa-, Sagisaka-kun is licking the chocolate off my lips――!?)
Sagisaka Shu: You’re cute as well when you turn red like that. From now on too, I want to be by your side and observe your various facial expressions.

very long ask ahead‼️
YESSSSSS OKAY SO BASICALLY. it was inspired by this post and this fanart that i simply went wild over. it’s currently abandoned but i might pick it up again idk, the main plot is that tubbo stays in kinoko kingdom after the end of the disc saga and finds karl just after he returns from a time travel adventure.
karl is secretive, because he feels this job is his and his alone, but tubbo is a nosy little bitch and sneaks into the library, where karl has no choice but to admit to it. tubbo is skeptical at first, but after lots of back and forth, he offers to help karl with this burden. karl begrudgingly accepts on the one condition that tubbo doesn’t tell the fiances– their wedding is soon, and karl doesnt want that getting fucked up.
from there, each chapter is like an “episode” of tales, where tubbo is brought along on each adventure. i only have 2/3 ideas so far. the first “episode” takes place centuries before the smp, in a village near the ‘warwoods’ which is the center for magic in the world and a battleground between endermen and humans from way before the stronghold/end portal was blocked off. in this episode tubbo is introduced to the concept of “you’ll find those you love in every timeline” when he meets a boy who he immediately recognizes as tommy’s past life. they also learn about end culture through an endermen which is not-so-obviously ranboo’s past life. cue a bunch of worldbuilding because it’s fun
the second “episode” is a retelling of the first season of the dream smp, but everything is all wack. it’s based off both the history books in mizu, and that one fake skin of ranboo in a lmanberg outfit that i thought was real (and then was proven as a clown but. we dont talk about that). so anyways the roles are switched up as follows:
niki is the leader of the revolution against king georgenotfound, with ranboo as her second in command.
as said in the mizu history books, tubbo is the leader of the “lmanberg warriors” which is their armed forces, with tommy as his right hand man and fundy as their greatest warrior.
wilbur and eret are part of the revolution, but they are spies. they’re background characters until one day, wilbur is caught on a mission. king george offers him mercy, if he accepts a deal to betray his friends. wilbur refuses and so george executes him.
thinking its their fault they left their friend to get caught, and ragefully mourning for his brother, eret and tommy dedicate themselves to the revolution and overthrow king george (because yes wilbur tommy brothers i dont make the rules).
when karl and tubbo return home from that episode, karl’s memory loss becomes painfully apparent. tubbo argues that they need to tell the fiances, but karl won’t let him. as the wedding approaches, they’re both afraid karl will lose himself before he can stop it.
THATS MY IDEA FOR NOW. i know its really long and i should def work on it more. but hmm. idk. tell me what u think of it and perhaps i’ll continue it. sorry this got so long LMFAO ty for listening love u :]
:0000 I LOVW THAT SO MUCH OMG !!!!!! ITS SO GOOD WTHAT THA HELL!!!!! ID NEVER BE ABLW TO HAVE SMTH BE THAT GOOD OMG MY BRAIN ISNT WKRKING RN BUT. I LOVE IT
n ofc!!!!!!!! id listen to any idea that u have any time :D

07.07 ani day <3
karma stares at the wrapped box on the table. what if she doesn't like it? he never cared this much for these things, so why is he so anxious? giving a lot of thought to one present was already out of character for him but worrying so much after? who is this man, because it's definitely not him.
his phone buzzed and he looks at the message. from the birthday girl.
thank youuu!!!! for the spam. and the greeting too i guess. o(>ω<)o
are you coming here or want me to wait at the station for you?
he replies.
whoa, a text without the word 'asshat' for once? kiriya-chan finally matured. i'm so proud!!! i'll be there soon :)
he laughs at the reply that came seconds later, as he expected.
oh my god. i'll see you soon, asshat. (#`Д´)
he puts his phone in his pocket and picks up the small box. it's fine, he tries to convince himself. he had gone shopping with mizuki and itona for gifts, and mizuki's input helped him more than he'd admit. if mizuki hadn't gone with them, itona probably would've gotten anielle a screwdriver set and karma? who knows.
he thinks of the conversation mizuki and anielle had about a necklace three weeks ago.
"oh? ani, did you always have that necklace?" mizuki asks, looking at it. karma looks at it too. he's never noticed it before either, but he doesn't really care. it's just a necklace.
it wasn't a big deal until anielle says: "huh? oh yeah. shuu gave it to me when we were second years, and i've worn it ever since. you just noticed it?"
mizuki brought up that conversation when they were thinking of what to get. he wasn't too fond of buying anielle a new necklace at first, but he had no idea what to get. besides, he and asano weren't competing on academics alone anymore; somehow a new unspoken competition for anielle's attention began. asano once bragged about anielle wearing that necklace every day since he gave it to her, as if that means anything. she gets more face time with me, who's really winning now? one-upping asano isn't karma's priority, of course not, but it would be killing two birds with one stone. seeing anielle in something he got and asano defeated? thinking about it is almost enough to get rid of his worries right now.
he takes the box and puts it in his bag. he heads out of his house and starts making his way to anielle's.
~
"did you and mizuki make a bet? i woke up to about 25 messages each from the both of you. sent at 12am," anielle asks, brushing a leaf off her shoulder.
"hm, unspoken competition, i guess," karma shrugs. "who won?"
"it may have been a tie?"
"boo, boring. i wanted bragging rights," he takes one of his hands out of his pockets and slides the classroom door open.
mizuki is the first person they see. she exclaims, holding out a present, "happy birthday ani!!"
anielle takes it, "thank you, mizu! you didn't have to get me anything..."
"i had to. for my favorite hag."
"hey!" anielle playfully punches her shoulder before heading to her own desk. she gets greeted by the few classmates who get there early. rio, to their surprise, walks in shortly after karma and anielle did. she pulls anielle out of the classroom.
"so... did you give it to her yet?" mizuki asks karma as soon as anielle is out of earshot. karma shakes his head no. "why not? dude, don't tell me you're nervous? oh my god."
"shut up."
"oh my, it's mr. karma's first time actually getting serious about somebody, and he doesn't know how to handle it! poor thing, let mizuki help you!" she teases, poking his cheeks, which had a hint of red to them. mizuki's enjoying this more than she probably should.
he swats her hand away, "you are so annoying."
anielle and rio walk back in the classroom, and anielle has a box in her hands and frosting on her cheek.
as anielle walks back to her desk, mizuki whispers, "come on, give it to her now."
karma whispers back, "no. not now."
mizuki was going to say something, but anielle's already standing in front of them. anielle takes out her handkerchief from her pocket and wipes her cheek. mizuki is shooting karma a look, but karma pretends he doesn't notice and listens to anielle talk about how rio caught her by surprise with a cupcake and wiping frosting on her face. their other classmates start to file in one by one or in small groups, greeting anielle with a happy birthday. their teacher is the last to say their greeting, and class starts.
lunch rolls by, and mizuki is still giving karma a look. anielle excuses herself to go to the bathroom.
"if it's an audience your suddenly shy ass is worrying about it, invite her outside or something."
"what if she doesn't like it?"
"that's what you're worried about? anielle will literally take anything. she would've taken that screwdriver set itona was gonna buy for her. doesn't mean she likes it, yes, but dude. honestly, if it's from you, she'll be happy with it. besides, it's the one she really wanted, isn't it?"
itona walks up to them with his lunch in hand, "what are we talking about?"
"karma. and the present."
"he hasn't given it yet? i'm surprised," itona says as he sits down at the desk in front of anielle's. "she'll be glad with whatever. since it's you."
"that's what i said!"
"the last thing i need is the both of you pestering me about this. i'll give it later, i swear."
"listen, s—"
the conversation stops when anielle comes back. mizuki changes the subject and asks anielle if she had any plans for her birthday. karma feels itona staring at him.
~
anielle's siblings run inside first. as she opens the front door, karma speaks.
"hey. happy birthday," he says, holding out the small rectangular box.
"o-oh!" she takes it. "thank you. you didn't have to. can i open it now?"
"sure, go ahead," karma replies, feeling a little anxious again. what if she thought he was unoriginal and was copying asano? what if she doesn't like the color? what if questions spin in his head while she watched him open the present.
anielle gasps and karma watches as her lips curl into a smile. "oh my god, i had my eye on this for 2 weeks now but they were sold out! how did you get your hands on this?"
something about the way anielle's eyes lit up and how big her smile was washed karma's anxieties away. he replies, relieved, "hm. pulled some strings."
anielle suddenly jumps on him for a hug, catching karma off guard, "thank you. really."
karma replies after a short pause, "i'm glad you like it."
"yeah? knowing you, i bet you probably didn't think too much about what to get me. but seriously. thank you again," she waves as she opens the door, ready to go in, still smiling. "asshat. see you tomorrow."
"you're welcome. see you tomorrow, kiriya-chan~"
~
karma can't help the smirk that creeps up on his face when asano notices the silver and blue necklace instead of orange and gold.
