If you count multiple, 2, 6, and/or 20?
Tumblr media
Hi, Hello, Hey. Multiple is fine.
2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)
Not sure! I usually find and read something as I go. I rarely have other books lineup since I immediately read one I like and find another when I'm done with my current one.
6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?
A novel about a girl that was isekai'd and tasked with being a terrible ruler who ended up doing the exact opposite. Everytime the main character tried doing something bad, it would backfire in a good way. Such as wasting public funds to buy grass without much use but it turned out to be a good fertilizer for other plants.
20. Do you have a favorite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love!
Vesperchan whom goes by Vesperlionheart on tumblr. One of my favorite series by her is the Obelisk series which is a sakura-centric AU with four main parts. If I could put my love for the stories in words, it would be too long for this post as it is genuinely an experience I could not forget. I would highly recommend others to read if they haven't and are interested.

hey there ! can you tag these things as fem reader ? i get super dysphoric when being refered to with she/her pronouns so i'd like to avoid it !!
Tumblr media
One, I would like to say that all my twisted wonderland works are tagged 'female prefect yuu' so my stuff are stated to be for a female mc.
Two, I don't think fem reader fits as I do not write them as reader-inserts but anyone can self insert if they wish.
I would recommend you to just avoid or block the tag 'female prefect yuu' in general.

Reactions of twst boys from responses after saying “I love you”.
Note: Most probably have seen the meme of alternative responses to I love you. Just wanna write Yuu responding weirdly to getting confessed. This has been in my drafts for months since work kept kicking me down. Happy 200th post!
“Who doesn’t?”
Yuu never thought she would one day find Vil’s picture perfect smile to be so scary
“Why don’t you enlighten me on your other admirers, Yuu?”
Vil leans closer into Yuu’s face with a vague smile on his face, as if daring her to say another man’s name
With his face so up close, the blush on Yuu’s face has quickly entered into dangerous territory
In order to not further embarrass herself, Yuu replies with a vigorous shake of her head
“Then, would you consider me?
Light blonde hair that shined in the light, mesmerizing purple eyes that looked directly at her and a blinding smile 
Yuu could’ve swore she saw purple orchids blooming in the background
Who could ever say no to the beautiful dorm leader of Pomefiore?
“I know.”
“Y-you do?”
While Jack was able to maintain a poker face when needed, his ears and tail quickly reveals his true feelings
Jack’s feelings on Yuu was so obvious that the other NRC students have an ongoing betting ring on when Jack will confess his feelings
Rumors has it that some of NRC’s staff was also in on the bets
“Yuu? Are you listening?”
Jack’s ears flop down as he notices Yuu thoughts drifting away during his love confession
Yuu immediately feels a pang of guilt hitting her heart as if there was a sad puppy in front of her
“Yes, let’s go on a date then! How about the new café near the florist you frequently go to?”
Jack’s face immediately brightens up, fluffy ears perking up and tail wagging behind him
Yuu can feel her heart melting at such an adorable sight
“I’ll go pick you up in front of the Ramshackle dorm next Saturday, would that be fine?”
“Sure!”
Yuu would have reached out her hand to pat Jack’s head if not for the large height difference between them
Jack is just too cute ♡
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome?”
Deuce can’t help but feel there’s something wrong with the conversation just now
Is it normal for people to respond like this when getting confessed to?
How is Yuu so calm?
“Did you actually heard what I just said?”
“Uh-huh, you like me. Have romantic feelings for me, want to-”
“Yuu, you can stop now, please.”
Deuce can’t help but bring his hands up to cover his face from all the embarrassment he’s feeling
“Sure. If it helps to ease your embarrassment, I love you as well.” 
Deuces does a double take at the dissonance of Yuu’s calm face and her explosive words
“Ar-are you sure? That, um, you like me back? In a romantic way, not as friends, I-”
With a small tug on his collar and a kiss on his mouth, the world goes silent
Yuu walks back to the Ramshackle dorm with a brand new boyfriend in hand
“A horrible decision, really.”
Judging from Sebek’s strained face, this wasn’t the response he wanted to hear
“I’m a human, remember? Don’t you hate humans?”
The color from Sebek’s face drains and his expression changes into something akin of regret from his past comments
His fingers running through his hair out of frustration, messing up his slicked up hair 
It was out of character for Sebek to show such a outward display of weakness
As Yuu was about to turn away, Sebek reaches out to grab her hand
“But it doesn’t change the fact that I fell for you.”
His green eyes staring into Yuu’s eyes with a rekindled flame
“Not some other fae, nor some other human. The person I fell for, was you.”
“Why.”
“Do you really want me to start explaining why I love you right now?”
All the confidence Jamil gathered to confess to Yuu started leaking out like air from a balloon
“Nononono, why as in why me. A magicless human from another world?”
It was a quiet little spot within the forest that Jamil had brought her to
Not a single person in view nor any forest critters in the background, which left Yuu to patiently wait for Jamil’s reply while staring at the ground
“You’re cute.”
20 minutes of her break and that’s all of what top student managed to say
The red ears peaking out from his hair displaying that the efficient vice dorm leader wasn’t as calm as Yuu thought
“ . . and?”
“By the great sevens, you can’t be serious about wanting me to explain why I love you.”
“Why not? It’s cute to see you like this.”
And the redness from Jamil’s ears has spread to his entire face
Yuu watches on with mild amusement as Jamil scrambles to say something to ease his embarrassment but only managing to make indiscernible sounds
Jamil was close to exiting the forest after looking at the gleefulness on Yuu’s face at seeing him so erratic
“Could you come back here tomorrow? During lunch, uh, I’ll tell you all the reasons about why.”
Maybe it was curiosity on what Jamil would say or maybe it was the way Jamil fidgeted as he formed his sentence
“Sure.”
*laughs nervously*
Despite being the more friendlier twin of the Leech twins, Jade isn’t someone you want to catch the attention of whether it be positive attention or negative attention
In an effort to stop herself from saying something stupid, Yuu only lets out a short laugh
While Jade continues to stare at her with his ever-present smile, Yuu looks as if a deer caught in the headlights
Ace, Deuce and Grim was conveniently absent, so who else could Yuu even hope for to come rescue her?
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you some time to think about your answer.”
Yuu feels that the butterflies in her stomach are going away
“Would 3 minutes be enough?”
The butterflies in her stomach has multiplied, Yuu is *this* close to throwing up from nervousness
Jade smiles in a way that showed all his pretty but very sharp teeth
“I’m sure you’ll think very carefully about your answer, right?”
*laughs hysterically*
“What’s so funny? I’m being serious over here!”
Sensing Ace’s increasing frustration of getting laughed at, Yuu wipes away the tears from her eyes
“So, did you lose a bet or something?”
“Of course not, is it so hard to believe that I have feelings for you?”
“Then why did you confess your feelings on April’s fool day?”
With a quick check on his phone and Yuu’s uncontrollable giggles in his ears, Ace can only let out a curse 
“YEET.”
Malleus tilts his head slightly in confusion of the new term that just popped out of Yuu’s mouth
“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand?”
Yuu continues to be amazed by Malleus lack of knowledge on any current trends 
“It’s a form of expressing excitement.”
“So you are excited about my confession?”
“Totally, it’s my first time getting confessed to.”
Yuu’s overly cheerful disposition is starting to give Malleus a bad feeling 
“I see, so does that mean you reciprocate my feelings?”
“I mean, aren’t we already friends?”
Looking at the sincere face in front of him, Malleus lets out a sigh
Maybe he should have went to Lilia for advice on confessing to a human 
As not only is he sorely lacking in knowledge of the human language but also the inner workings of a human’s psychology
“I’m sorry.”
The confident smile on Azul’s face shatters into a thousand pieces
“What do you mean you’re sorry? Is there anything wrong!?”
“Uh, force of habit?”
Yuu fidgets with the sleeves of her uniform as she tries to organize her thoughts
“You’re a wonderful person but I, um, I’m really sorry that I can’t acceptyourfeelings-”
Yuu mutters out another sorry after she blurts her rejection in quick session, eyes not daring to look at the dorm leader she just rejected
Was she going to die after rejecting Azul? Is Floyd and Jade going to kill her???
The short silence felt like an eternity with all sorts of scary thoughts in Yuu’s mind 
“Then, allow me to apologize as well.”
Yuu looks up to see Azul with the same expression he uses while coercing students to sign contracts
“Because I don’t plan on giving up on you.”
*finger guns*
Truly a moment where your body react before your brain does
Yuu and Idia stares at each other while Yuu maintains her finger guns
Idia screams quietly in his mind out of the awkwardness in the air and the false courage he had to even confess about his feelings
Yuu is close to screaming in real life out of unexpectedness of getting confessed by Idia, out of all the people she knows
“I-”
“Don’t! Uh, um, you don’t need to, tell me your answer.”
The large hood on his hoodie was truly a blessing, letting him hide his flushed face from Yuu
“I just . . AGH! Pretend I never said anything!”
Then, Idia dashes from the scene with a speed Yuu has never seen him with
Leaving dear Yuu to stare at the air in front of her by herself
“. . .?”
“If only there was someone out there who loved you.”
wrong choice of words, WRONG CHOICE OF WORDS
Yuu could feel the murderous intent manifesting into the atmosphere from Floyd as she is backed into a wall 
“Care to repeat what you just said, shrimpy?”
Something tells Yuu that she might meet her unfortunate end if she were to repeat what she said before
“. . . I love you too?”
“Then prove it to me.”
Floyd leans down without losing a moment and points a finger at his lips
“A kiss on the mouth. Easy, right?”

Hello Happy New Year
How are you?
Imagine if Fem Mc accidentally drank a magic potion that turns them into a man...
Mc (and the Nrc staff) would be happy as they would finally be allowed to rest but the rest of the NRC and RSA would panic and would like to turn Mc back into a girl.
How chaotic would that be? I feel like it would be really chaotic.
Happy very belated New Years! I was somewhat tired due to staying up for new years eve back then and my neck is kinda sore as well but I think I'm fine~ I feel really bad as this ask came out way later than expected. My writing speed continues to disappoint me with how long I procrastinated. It makes me envious of you for being able to write so fast (⭑•͈ ᴗ •͈ ).
Male!Yuu via Magic Potion
Let it be known to never ever drink something without checking the contents of it first
Anyway, Yuu is unfazed about this whole sex change thing
As someone who travelled to another dimension, encountered magic, met a talking cat and had prophetic dreams, turning into a man doesn’t seem that special 
Looking in the mirror, Yuu had grown like 10 centimeters more while her (his?) hair was slightly shorter than before 
It’s hard to tell if Yuu’s face have become more masculine  
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, all the twst boys are having an existential crisis 
The Night Raven College staff are concerned about how to change Yuu back to normal but also really concern over the mental breakdown their other students are having
“Did the potion have other side effects I was unaware of?”
“Just let them be, Trein. They’ll get over it. I think.”
Ignoring the crestfallen students, Yuu is brought in front of Mr. Crewel and Mr. Trein for some additional questions about the potion and if there were any other effects she (he?) was feeling
Crowley and Mr. Vargas kicks the other male students out of the alchemy lab for taking up space
“I feel fine. Magic? I’m gonna go on a ‘no’. I doubt I sprouted any animal features as well.”
Turning into a man feels anti climatic as hell, Yuu kinda wished he gained other abilities other than just new body parts
Mr. Crewel sends Yuu out with a hair ruffle and tells him to come straight to him or Mr. Trein if anything goes wrong
Ace and Deuce rushes up to Yuu as he leaves the lab and quickly asks if Yuu was feeling well
To their despair, Yuu is really leaning to staying as a guy for longer
Yuu picks up Grim just as usual, perhaps a little easier from his new found strength and heads back to Ramshackle dorm
“Isn’t this fine? NRC is an all-male school after all, Yuu can just stay as a male-”
Crewel steps on Crowley’s feet for his wildly irresponsible comment 
With the teachers of NRC working on the cure, surely there would be no reason to worry, right?
Right?
The confidence the twst boys had crumbled as days turned into weeks and weeks turned to a month without a single potion nor spell dispelling Yuu’s transformation
“Maybe all Yuu needs is a kiss of true love!”, proclaims Neige
And then he got promptly restrained by Vil and Rook who ran over once they saw Neige dashing towards Yuu 
Neige had to sit through three hours of Vil’s lectures on the ineffectiveness of true love’s kiss and the concept of boundaries
Throughout the lecture, Yuu couldn’t help but notice the dark circles under Vil’s and Rook’s eyes 
“What if I’m permanently stuck in a man’s body for the rest of my life?”
Yuu’s words almost caused Ace and Deuce to have an heart attack
Jack and Epel weren’t better off as their body froze up with a frantic look in their eyes
Sebek grabs Yuu’s shoulders with more force than needed and tells him not to say something so terrifying suddenly
Yuu finds the tone Sebek spoke in way scarier but he wasn’t about to say it to Sebek’s face as he was still grabbing Yuu
Speaking of acting strange, the other NRC students have also been acting weird around him ever since Yuu became a man
Trey would reach his hand out unconsciously to wipe the crumbs near his face but stop before he actually touches Yuu’s face
Jade has been mumbling and reading books related to BI, or was it BL?
Malleus has been really busy lately and has became good friends with Idia due to sharing the same interest in researching magic related to transformations
Riddle, Azul and Jamil has also been spending more time together in the library and consulting Mr. Crewel after classes 
Yuu is glad all of them are on such good terms with each other despite the overblots
Ace doesn’t know if Yuu is playing dumb or actually dumb on why all this relationships have transpired 
To everyone’s surprise, the transformation effect begins to wear off on it’s own on a nice sunny day
Yuu’s loose uniform on her male body had become even looser on her original body which lead to her pants falling down in broad day light
Truly tragic.
Everyone in a 10 meter radius immediately rushed over with their uniform coats in hand 
Yuu wants to curse the two students who threw their coats at her, one at her face and the other at her bare legs
With Yuu being back to normal and her legs no longer exposed, peace has been restored at Night Raven College
And everyone lived happily ever after.

Hey, did you know about the release of Spade no kuni no Alice? I think it might be the final installment of the series... Still, looks fantastic, I'm glad to see those guys again, Julius seems to be missing tho...
Note: Going on a rant
YES, I did. That's what basically pulled me back to the hnkna fandom and finally made me played the first few installments of the series. Words cannot describe the happiness I felt when I first saw the pv, it was as if I fell in love once again.
I do hope it is not the final installment as I don't think otomate is able to give a satisfying end to the entire series with black as the remaining part to tie up the series. And speaking of Julius, it feels like it's missing way too many of the og characters to have the end be satisfying for me.
Part of me is still a little sad about the changes which are the VAs and art style change. I really like the anniversary no kuni art styles and shinosobans was good as well, but the new art style just seems kinda off. Nevertheless, Spade no kuni is still great. The osts brings me close to tears.
Hoping more people can discover the series because it's so so so good. Not only is there a translated version of one of the installments in the series, there are also numerous translated manga! There's also a discord server if you wanna meet more fans.
I wanna leave off with saying that Alice is my absolute fav ♡

Crowley was at a loss of words. It wasn’t uncommon for students to cry after getting assigned to a dorm they hated. But having a student cry before the opening ceremony even started? That was a new one.
The dorm leaders stood still on their own spots, not wanting to deal with a crying student. The remaining students had looked towards Crowley to solve the problem as the headmaster of Night Raven college.
Sure enough, Crowley does go up to the crying student as he is a kind person after all. However, the student doesn’t seem to hear anything he says and continues to bawl their eyes out while saying something incoherently. Crowley is only able to catch words such as ‘god’, ‘why’ and ‘forsaken’. 
Next time, he’s gonna make the students do interviews before they get accepted.
Yuu, upon realizing she was isekai’d: why has god forsaken me

Im like OBSESSED with the affection bar post that you made lol. Do you have anymore info about it?
[Related post]
Glad to see you enjoyed it! Some remaining info I have for this setting but didn't get included:
Grim's bar is unable to go higher than 50%
Jamil is the one with the 60% bar when Yuu spots him and Kalim
Students that have a bar higher than 0% but lower than 10% know or heard about Yuu but does not know her personally and had no interactions yet
Yuu becomes very avoided outside of the students with high affection bars because most of them get into trouble with the others simply by interacting with Yuu
I did not set which specific students sent the roses, chocolates, gifts to Yuu but would be from the wealthy ones (namely Leona, Kalim, Vil)
The last thing would be that I wanted to write numerous snippets that are the different endings which the fic could have just as dating games usually have a variety of endings. It would mostly be based on the combination of characters that are able to 'capture' Yuu. But, there's no guarantee if I write endings outside of that idea as well. I’ll include an example of what I envision as an snippet of an ending.
Very lastly, I’m heavily in love with Heart no Kuni no Alice / Alice in the Country of Hearts and it’s a big motivation for my dating sim related works. 
Tumblr media
[ Malleus Draconia (100%), Lilia Vanrouge (100%), Silver (100%), Sebek Zigvolt (100%) ]
“What’s wrong, Yuu?”
“Are you still unhappy?”
“You should eat more, Yuu.”
“Yuu.”
Day in, day out. It was the same scenery, the same people and the same daily life. Yuu doesn’t know how long has passed since she was confined in this tower. 
(She stopped counting after day 274.)
Recently, it’s been Sebek that brings her meals to the room Yuu sleeps in since she started refusing to eat. There was almost nothing Yuu can do to hurt them and if starving herself could make them feel even an ounce of what she feels, Yuu thinks it’s worth it.
Freshly baked bread and a bowl of beef stew with a side of mashed potatoes. Yuu gives her apologies to the chef in her mind as she was about to waste another perfectly good meal. 
Sebek looks as if he’s going to shout at Yuu ignoring her meal but stops at the very last second.
“We’re all very worried about you. Don’t you want to take a bite? You said you like the stew the chefs made, right?”
But Yuu hates them more than she likes the stew. What sane person would like the people that locked them up in an impossibly high tower in the Valley of Thorns? Especially when they were locked up by the very people they thought were their friends.
“Yuu. Please have some food, even a bite will do. Young master, Lilia-sama and Silver are worried sick. I, too, wish you would eat some.”
The image of Sebek asking, begging even, was at the least a different sight from her usual life in the tower. 
Yuu wonders how long will she continue to torment them by harming herself.
Ending ??? - Confined by Thorns

“Maybe it’s instinct, maybe it’s . . ?”
Note: Not feeling well lately but I had some sudden inspiration that I want to write down before I forgot. The inspiration being dragons and their hoarding habits.
A Dragon’s Hoarding Habits
The prefect was precious, endearing to him in a way that no one was ever able to
Her smiles when she saw him around the campus
Sparkles in her eyes when he performed minor magic for her
Even the laughter she let out when he unknowingly did something childish
It all made the child of man such a cute and fascinating being
Malleus couldn’t help but want to keep Yuu to himself
Maybe he should bring her to his castle in the Valley of Thorns
His treasure vault would be open to his dear child of man, Yuu could have anything she wanted from it if she desired
As long as Yuu was his to keep, of course
“Tsunotarou? Tsunotarou~ Are you listening?”
“Ah, my apologies. I had a sudden thought.”
Back to the present, Malleus was accompanying Yuu to the library for some books needed for her magic history homework
His thoughts had slowly drifted as Yuu recounted the adventures she went on during the break
Just like any other day in twisted wonderland for Yuu, accidents were bound to happen
“Oi, Herbivore.”
Malleus felt something flare up when he hears Leona calling out to Yuu and without thinking, he covers Yuu’s mouth as she turns to face Leona
“Hmph, hm, mhmm?”
It was a peculiar feeling that Malleus couldn’t quite describe, like a mixture of jealousy and overprotectiveness
Meanwhile as Yuu is preoccupied with pulling Malleus hands off, Malleus and Leona had a staring contest
“Leave, Kingscholar.”
“I only have business with the herbivore. Scram.”
“I won’t repeat myself twice.”
In the midst of their contest, Yuu somehow gets Malleus’s hand off her mouth
Only for Malleus to promptly conjure his wings to wrap around Yuu fully
Leona, sick and tired of Malleus’s bullshit starts chanting the words to his unique magic
All the remaining students around them (watching the drama unfold) runs as fast as they can away from the current scene
Stuck within the middle of both of them, Yuu regrets coming to twisted wonderland for the fourth time this week
Luckily, Lilia pops in just in time to prevent Leona’s unique magic from going off
Then promptly drags Malleus off for a needed lecture, which leaves Yuu alone with Leona
Taking one look at Yuu, Leona just pinches the bridge of his nose and lets out a sigh
“. . . you okay?”
What Yuu feels next is something cloth like stuffed into her hands
Before she can say anything, Leona leaves as he grumbles something
Presumably about Malleus from the tone of his voice
Yuu takes her previously lost handkerchief and returns to her journey to the library with a puzzled expression
Ace, Deuce and Grim are so not going to believe what just happened

@twisted-stories 
My girl Penelope deserved better (இ﹏இ`。). Anyway, the relationship bar system used in the story is different from the manhwa and have no relation to each other. 
Technically, the relationship values can decrease but in this setting, the increase in values is much faster than the decrease. For example, every 2 affection values Yuu loses, Yuu can gain 10 affection values which is a general positive increase of 8 affection values. So, it seems as if that Yuu can’t bring their relationship values down.
“Life would be easier if it were a game.”
Note: Affection bars are a must have in every game with a relationship increasing aspect. I wanted to go for a more a fluffy feeling but it turned darker than I though. Warning for obsessive behavior & unhealthy relationship behavior.
Twisted Wonderland but with Affection Bars
Yuu was pretty sure she didn’t ingest any sort of food or drink with hallucinogenic properties
So, what are those bars above the head of Grim, Ace and Deuce?
Grim had a half filled bar and a number ‘50%’ on top of the bar with a pink tint
Deuce’s bar was filled more than Grim with a number ‘67%’ on top and colored a reddish pink 
Ace had the most filled bar and the highest number of ‘71%’ which is colored a light red
The resemblance to the romance games Yuu played back in her world was uncanny
“If you keep spacing out, we’re gonna be late for class!”, says Ace who breaks Yuu out of her thoughts
Walking through the hallways, Yuu continues to spot more students with bars above their heads but most of them only have a number of 0 to 7
Kalim runs through the hallway with Jamil chasing after him and Yuu only catches a ‘60%’ 
So, numbers = level of relationship?
Anyhow, this new development only serves to clog up Yuu’s view with no other benefits
And Yuu thought it would be just that, a tool that measures the intimacy of one’s relationship and puts it into a number
Deuce and Ace’s bar continued to fill and fill, the increasing redness of the numbers becomes unnerving
Ace started getting annoyed when other students talked to Yuu 
Yuu had to stop Deuce from punching a student for accidentally bumping into her
They weren’t the only ones to have their bar to continue to fill
Jack became more clingy and hanged around Yuu every moment he could while Epel kept sending more and more items from his village to Yuu
The most obvious change was Sebek who started hanging around Yuu and blushing from looking at her
It was a wonder that they haven’t started fighting with each other over Yuu
“You’re so adorable that I can just eat you up, shrimpy♡~ ”
“I’d prefer to keep you in a case so I can see you everyday, Yuu.”
Yuu would like to thank the Leech twins for their incredibly unnerving words
Bouquets of roses on her doorstep, high quality chocolates slipped into her bag and numerous gift boxes sent to the ramshackle dorm
Yuu tries her hardest to contain her feelings when she finds out the price of the accessories she receives from Leona 
Kalim wanted to join in on the expensive accessory train but is thankfully stopped by Jamil, who in turn gives Yuu a silk scarf 
Yuu has a funny feeling on why Jamil stops Kalim
The atmosphere around Yuu becomes even more intense as some of the students hit the number ‘90%’
The redness from before becomes a dark maroon
“If there’s anything you want, I’ll do anything to get it for you.”
Malleus shows up during the night at ramshackle dorm with an intense promise and even more intense eyes
“I want you to look at me and only me.”
Yuu bolts the moment she hears Vil whisper such words into her ears
How could things spiral so far from her usual life?
What’s gonna happen from now on?
“Yuu! Where did you go?”
Ace and Deuce runs over to where Yuu is as Yuu stops when she notices their voice
Yuu feels awfully cold even though the season was still autumn
The only thing she sees is the black ‘100%’ above their head

Just gonna ramble a bit and stick true to my title.
After answering a question someone dropped in the replies, it made me realize that I just forget everything about my writing after I post it. It’s absolutely wild for me to reread what I posted cause I don’t remember jackshit about it.
Feel free to drop an ask in my ask box if you want me to answer something~ 
Happy New Years to everyone who is reading this post!!!  (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧

“My blood on you is the perfect makeup.”
Note: A short drabble. I’m in the mood for unhinged people being in love.Yuu is described physically. Warning for blood, wounds and violence. 
[Related Part]
Unhinged Assassin(?) Floyd x Average Citizen(?) Yuu
Ivory skin.
Ebony hair.
The only thing she was missing was lips as red as blood. 
Floyd reaches his hand out to smear the blood on his hands onto Yuu’s lips. Slowly tracing the outline of her lips with a gentleness that Yuu doesn’t even know he had. 
“There. Shrimpy looks perfect now.”, Floyd coos like a parent comforting their child.
It was hard to make out what kind of expression Floyd had under the muck of dirt and dried blood on his face. Perhaps he was smiling over the delight of smearing blood on her face, Yuu isn’t really sure either.
“Did you get shot?”
There was blood splattered over her floors, some retained a fresh red while some turned brown. 
“Maybe? I wanted to see shrimpy so much I rushed over here.”
Since asking Floyd was a lost cause, Yuu goes ahead and starts unbuttoning his shirt to check for any wounds. 
Floyd seems to mumble something with a carefree tone while resting his head onto her shoulders. The occasional low hisses and soft groans were enough to tell that Floyd was still conscious.
 “You’re lucky that there’s no gun wounds but you still have a gaping cut on your abdomen.”, Yuu says nonchalantly.
“Oh.”
“Go to the hospital.”
“Don’t wanna.”
“What are you, five? Get off of me.”
“Don’t wanna~”
The sound of the door bell stops both of them from their bickering. Yuu slowly makes her way over to the door as Floyd turns to lean against Yuu’s back. Looking through the peephole, a man that looks like the mirror image of Floyd was standing outside. Yuu motions Floyd to look through the peephole.
“I assume that’s your brother? Not some sort of doppelganger?”
The only reply Yuu gets is a soft ‘yes’ into her ear before proceeding to open the door to greet him.
“Hello.”
“Good Evening. I’m Jade Leech, Floyd’s twin brother. I’m here to pick up Floyd.”
Yuu can’t help but stare at Jade as he introduces himself with a picture perfect smile. It’s amazing how twins look the same but can give off such different feelings.
“As you can see, he’s on my back. You’ll have to pry him off yourself.”, says Yuu as she motions to Floyd.
As expected, Jade easily drags Floyd off and carries him with one arm over his shoulder. 
“Thank you for looking after my brother.”, Jade says with an unfaltering smile.
“You’re welcome?”, Yuu answers in a much more faltering tone.
With a final nod, Jade turns his back and walks towards the car stopped in front of Yuu’s house. Yuu watches as Floyd gets stuffed into passenger seat and closes the door after the car drives off. 
It’s only when Yuu sees her reflection in the mirror that she remembers the blood on her lips. 
“Hmm, it’s salty as always.”
