what kind of beautiful are you?
Sunlight shining through leaves
Tumblr media
a cool breeze blows past, billowing the leaves. the light is dappled, falling like ink on the earth. the undersides of the leaves glow golden green against the sky. the wind shifts, and the light falls through in a whole new way. everchanging and everpresent, yet always staying the same somehow.

Shun's distance had taken its toll on Ruri. It was evident to everyone who interacted with her these days, even if she did her best to try and hide it. There was nothing wrong with her brother needing space or his alone time. Everyone needed that, but...it was like Shun was avoiding her, avoiding for her reasons she doesn't fully understand.
Being a soldier and a brother...was that really so impossible? Everyone she's met here seems to be capable of having their professional self and their personal self. She's seen that with how Lady Crescent's demeanor shifts when she's alone with the young girl verses when she's working. So, such a thing is possible for the people here...except for Shun apparently.
And it's that very thing Ruri thinks is the root of her and her brother's problems. She's been trying to reach out to him as a family member, not like the heiress she never asked to be, and yet...he keeps pushing her away, acting cold to her like she was just any other person. The number of times his words have replayed in her mind over the past few days has been astronomical, especially when she's seen glances of him in the many hallways of the palace.
Things have reached a point where she doesn't know what else to do. Ruri has, in her mind, done everything she could think to do in a situation like this. That's why she needed to start turning to other's for help, and the very person who was filling in her brother's shoes was a good place to start.
Tumblr media
"Please, wait."
She was about to say her goodnights to him for the evening before he moved to stand guard outside her door when she slowly reaches for his hands. Her soft touch is done intentionally as to not startle him or make him uncomfortable. It was just the best way to make sure he wouldn't go anywhere until she says what she needs to.
"Yuto...You're a soldier, trained in the military, just like my brother. That means that you...have a job to look after me and fight for this place. I know that and understand that, but...you and I..."
She gently moves both arms up until the interlocking hands are near their chest areas. Ruri stared right into those soft grey hues of his with a look that spoke volumes for the desperation she was feeling. Her heart was racing not for the contact with the rather handsome and kind young man, but rather for the fear of what he might say.
Tumblr media
"We're also friends...yes? You're a soldier tasked to protect me...but you're also my friend. At least...that's how I view our relationship."

@enterpainment​ (Yuto)
Tumblr media
The Akaba estate was wide and vast, a plethora of flora and fauna living in harmony in the home of the family who specialized in magic relating to nature itself. It was the most beautiful out of all the household homes to most, and the residents both noble, servant, and guest alike enjoyed spending time in the various different areas. One such area was a small area in the eastern side of the property, filled with trees, bird baths, flora, and a small bench in the middle where Ruri Akaba and her own dragonic retainer currently were residing.
A quiet serenity fell over the area, no sounds being made expect by those produced by the nature around them. This place had become Ruri’s most favorite place on the family property, due to both it’s privacy and the beautiful flowers and cute birds who lived there. In fact, she often came to help make sure the birds in this area were cared for, providing them with little houses and food like she was doing right now. 
“Oh my! Aren’t you a hungry one?” Ruri smiles as the bird devours the seeds rather quickly before flying off, another bird slowly taking it’s place on her palm to receive the same thing. She smiles before glancing over to the other with her, wanting to break the silence as it had been going on for a tad too long and she did not want it to seem like she was ignoring or not including Yuto. 
Tumblr media
“Yuto, would you like to feed this one? I think you’d do great at it. I promise they are friendly. All the birds who live here are my friends.” Not a surprising revelation considering her nature-based magic specialized in these creatures, but it’s something she feel to point out to him regardless. “And...I think they could be your friends, too.”

The conversation with Shun that followed after Allen’s arrival to Madár weighed heavily on the young wingless girl’s heart, her mind unable to think away from it even as she did her best to help her friend settle into the guest room she had given him. She didn’t expect things to turn out this way. In fact, she thought he’d be happy to meet one of her close friends from back home, one of the only people to bring her some semblance of happiness in the orphanage. 
However, a happy meeting was not meant to be. Shun had drawn a sword to her friend, made horrible assumptions about him, and even after she intervened, gave her a detached and harsh statement that did not seem like one to come from her older brother. They were both still getting used to being siblings, and Ruri understood that, but she thought by now he’d at least not seem so...detached and like they had not formed a bond by this point. 
Was the Shun she had come to know, the loving and selfless brother who put his life before hers constantly, going to continually being suppressed behind his soldier instinct? Would he ever stop calling her Lady Ruri and bowing before her? Would he ever open up his heart to fully healing instead of continuing to be consumed by the flames of battle? At this point, she is unsure and that fact...terrified her.
Ruri leaves her inventor friend to go and find Shun, remembering he said to look for him on the training grounds. She had only visited there during her initial tour of the Madár palace, watching Shun’s comrades train themselves to the bone. It wasn’t exactly her favorite place to go, especially when she can sense the anger and pain on the soldier’s faces, but she’d brave it to find her big brother. This was too important.
Gentle hands slowly open the grand oak doors to the observing floor, a level above the lower level meant to be a place for people to watch the military hard at work. She takes a few steps forward before resting them on a railing. It didn’t take her long to find Shun, considering he was the only one in here at such a late hour. Everyone else no doubt retired for the day, and yet here he was practicing those sword strikes with the same fire and sharpness in his eyes that Ruri had seen earlier that day. 
Tumblr media
The heiress then takes a breath, her hand moving over her beating heart, before her usual soft volume increased in order to get Shun’s attention. “Brother, I...I’d like to speak to you! It’s very important!” Ruri is careful to not phrase her words that could sound like she was giving Shun an order, the girl not exactly the type to like giving out such things after being raised in such a strict home where freedom was as clipped as her own wings had been by the headmaster who raised her. This was to be a conversation between them simply as people, not of the positions they had nor anything of the sort.

a touch when it is storming. [@ Ruri, either Nobles of Nature orrrrrrrr Wings of Paradise]
Tumblr media
It’s rainy night like these that take her back to her days at the orphanage. The leaking of the rainwater onto her head, the sounds of the other children shrinking after each thunder clap, the way Allen used to get so frustrated when his inventions shorted out from the water; all of it had been engraved into Ruri’s memory. Everything from her time in that hellscape was like that to the point where she still had bad dreams about it every so often, despite having lived in Madár for months now.
It’s the combination of the storm outside and her bad dreams that makes her unable to sleep that night, having spent hours tossing and turning in her bed. She just couldn’t get to sleep. Blocking out the sounds with a pillow didn’t work, and neither did trying to think about something else. On top of all of that, her back pain from her scars flared up again, almost like the shadow of the headmaster of the orphanage and her terror still hung over her.
However, where there is darkness and fear, there is is light and comfort. For the young wingless heir, that comes in form of her elder brother and a gentle touch he places on her head. Ever since she’s met him, she’s felt...safer with him near. Was it because he was her bodyguard? Perhaps, but she would like to think it’s more because of their familial bond. It explained why she felt so comfortable going with Shun in the first place. Not just anyone would suddenly trust a winged soldier who claimed you were the heir to a magical place of winged folk, right?
Her breathing slows as she feels the warmth of his hand, instantly calming the anxious feeling deep in the fit of her stomach. It wasn’t often he showed this softer side to himself. Most of the time Shun acted so serious and professional around her, as if he forgot the fact she and him were brother and sister. Yet, it is moments like this that reminder her of the truth of their dynamic, as complicated as it may be. 
He may be her royal guard on paper and to the rest of the kingdom, but to her and those who knew the two Kuroskai youths closely, they were wholeheartedly brother and sister. It was just...taking some time to fully adjust to everything, which Ruri can fully understand despite how hard it can be at points. And if there is anything she’s learned since having been found by her brother again, is that the best things in life often are the ones one must be patient for.
Tumblr media
“Thank you, Brother. I...I never liked storms. However, I...I know...I know I can face them with you by my side. Just like I can face anything that comes our way...”
Her wishes on those stars for so many years had come true. She had been given a family of her own, and that’s something she’d never take for granted, even if she just wishes being family would be the only thing Shun would focus on instead of his ‘duty’ to the heir of Madár...

“Brother...!” The outburst escapes her lips that are just as painful as his own, magenta eyes staring at the damaged golden ones of her older brother. This war has truly changed everything and everyone. Smiles no longer existed on people’s faces, instead expressions of hatred and fear as they are forced to fight for their survival. Dueling was no longer a way to connect people together in happiness. And worst of all...those closest to her had been taken from her, in more ways than one.
This includes her own brother who these days seemed unrecognizable. Shun always had somewhat of a chip on his shoulder, but he was a loving and caring individual. Now, though? All she saw was a soldier hell bent on vengeance, not dissimilar from the ones she continued to protect those who remained from. It made her heart ache to see him like this, to see him deteriorating just like Heartland before her very eyes...
Tumblr media
“Please, please don’t give up hope! I know it’s difficult to do in our circumstances, but we must! We must keep hope alive, hope we can bring back the smiles to Heartland! And...we can’t do that by fighting like our enemies!” The tears have spilled over, just as her heart has spilled all over her words. Ruri was pleading with all her might to her brother, desperate to try and save him from this path. What kind of sister would she be if she didn’t try?
Her hands come to gently yet snakingly touch his duel disk, one recently modified with some technology repurposed from some Academia soldiers. With this power, not only could the Resistance dimension travel, they could also... 
“Brother...Please...Please don’t do what our enemy does to us....Promise me you won’t card anyone! Promise me, Shun!”

a touch to silently make sure that they’re alright. [Yuto @ Ruri, Wings of Paradise verse]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It had been almost a week since she had spoken to Shun last, the young heir to the winged land starting to get worried. Their discussion the night after Allen’s arrival had been quite heated, both siblings saying harmful words to each other. It brought Ruri to tears, and if it was not for Yuto being at her side throughout that night, she isn’t sure how she could have recovered the strength to face the people of Mádar during tonight’s huge event.
It was the official presentation of Ruri to everyone in the land, an event she had been so nervous about ever since hearing about it from Shun a few weeks back. She still wasn’t sure she was fit enough for such an important role, especially since she didn’t exactly desire wealth or jewels. Being able to live in simply in peace with those she cared about was enough for the girl in all honesty. Though, that was sadly not the hand she was dealt, but instead that of an heiress to a winged land when she herself had no wings to speak of.
The eyes of everyone had been constantly on her the entire evening, Ruri currently sitting on a balcony overlooking the packed ballroom. While she no doubted looked physically beautiful, having gotten some assistance from Miss Mai, the hesitation in her eyes and in the way her body shook in her seat was certainly not what was proper for someone in her position. The anxiety of the event, along with Shun being no where to be found, was overtaking her. And honesty? She feels like she might break at any moment.
Tumblr media
“Huh...?” Magenta eyes then widen slightly as she feels a touch on her shoulder, head turning to glance over it to find it was Yuto’s hand that had been placed there. The gesture was a silent one. She had come to realize that he was not the most talkative, but rather expressed himself through his actions more often than not. Shun was like that too, which is why the fact he was no where to be found spoke volumes for how he must be feeling right now.
“Yuto...” Ruri speaks his name as she looks at him, her expression molding into the soft and gentle smile she was known for. “Thank you. I...I needed that. There is just... a lot on my mind, right now. Is there...Is there still no sign of Shun anywhere? I know he’s mad at me, but...I thought he’d at least want to attend the event to help with security at the very least.”
