🍂 Autumn 🍂| Hakkitober #1

Alternative title: Until We Meet Again

Synopsis: Autumn… the season in which some animals, such as birds had to go away. Away for a long, long while…

AN: Hello everyone! I’m doing Hakkitober! I’m planning to do some stuff like a doodle with a possible short story! Or maybe just some writing? Who knows?!

Extra Note: Tori is a Hakkito, Lio is a Bettelion (Canadian) Goose. Also may have rushed near the end 😅

Edit: Updated, as I need to edit some errors I saw! Also now available on AO3

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡═*.·:·.✧ ✦✧.·:·.*═⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ﾟ☾

Autumn, the third season of the year. The season in which the leaves shift from the green hue into a multitude of warm colors.

Red. Yellow. Brown. Orange.

Those very colors the leaves turned, then snapped off their only home - their branch. And then danced themselves into the unknown. Even the ground below began to shrivel away its vibrancy. Sometimes there is some slight frost covering the ground, freezing some bare toes (or bottoms) of the creatures that roam around Elysium.

Autumn…

“Hey-”

Bringing their head down, a bird glances over to their fellow bird friend.

“Yeah?”

Their friend’s head rose, as they breathed heavily. The Hakkito choked:

“Hey, do you and your goose friends really have to go?”

…

Autumn… the season in which some animals - such as birds - had to go away. Away for a long, long while…

The goose Bettelion sighs, as they slumped their feathers.

“Tori, you know how important this is-”

“I-I know!” Tori stuttered, as their beady blue eyes glanced away from their feathered friend. Tori turns back and continued, “It’s just- Why can’t I come with you Lio?! I can fly too y’know!”

Another sigh, but this time the sigh was more dreary and bittersweet.

“Tori,” Lio retorted, waving their right brown wing, “You said it yourself before, you and the other Hakkitos were made out of the Corruption that Hakka has! Your species came from a supernatural force that can overcome a ton of stuff that natural beings like me can understand! Hell, I don’t even know what kind of magic you are capable of yet! ”

It is true! Lio is a simple goose, treading along their own path. The fact that Lio and few other animals (birds, cows, bees, etc.) found the silliest jester, they all became a close knit! Especially since the community has many creatures, ranging from the natural to the supernatural!

Supernatural beings like Tori for instance. Ever since Tori and Lio met, the two birds became quick friends. Two peas in a pod! They did everything together: Visiting the Hakkafe, trolling around their fellow tempura friends (rip Kibbles, the Koi 😔), and staying up late at night to talking about god knows what!

As soon as the leaves began to turn and the weather became much cooler, Lio broke the news about their eventual migration. Some friends had Lio explain about migrating somewhere warmer. No, Lio can’t stay even if the goose wanted too. No, not even using a heat warmer, tons of blankets or a potion can help.

It’s just a instinct. An instinct that animals of Mother Nature follows since they were born. And one mustn’t dare defy or interfere with a inate inner sense you were born with.

Of course, most of Lio’s friends were understanding of the goose’s situation. They even held a farewell party for Lio and rest of the migrating birds the day before; wishing everyone safe travels and tearful see you soons.

Yet, out of the corner of Lio’s eye, was their little Hakkito friend, Tori. Tori, the only one who stuck by with the goose every step of the way. A now silent bird, still processing the whole situation.

“I know…” Tori whispered, as the purple bird’s eyes watered. “I-I know.”

Lio’s wing fell as did the furrowed eyes on their face. Walking over, Lio wrapped their wings and lowered their neck around Tori. Tori pauses, taking a few staggered breathes. Small feathers underneath Lio’s body were hugged in return, along with the crying sobs and water heard beneath.

“LIO!!!” The purple bird yelled out in anguish, wetting the latter’s feathers and pink-blue ribbon as Lio hugged them harder. “LIO I DONT WANT YOU TO GO!!!”

“Tori…” Lio soothes, having one wing rub Tori’s back. Even some tears slipped and fell from Lio’s eyes too.

“WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU?!? WH-WHAT IF YOU GET ATTACKED WHILE YOU FLY THERE AND BACK?! WHAT IF YOU GET LOST AND CAN’T FIND A WAY BACK?! Wh-what if…”

“…if you forget about me and everyone? And not want to come back…”

Raising their head and neck, Lio stares at Tori as they both are still in tears. The wind whistles between the two, bringing along the dancing and leaves. For a moment, only the wind’s whistles were heard in the deafening silence.

“Tori…” Lio broke the silence, attempting to speak steady, “Is this what you’ve been thinking about?”

Tori nodded. Then sagged her body.

“I’m sorry…”

All of sudden, Tori jumped as they were tackled into another hug by Lio. A tight one at that!

“You little-” The goose said, “Why the hell are you apologizing? I understand those fears… even though I’m older, I’m still scared.”

Tori’s eyes widen as she looks her friend in the eye.

“Really?!”

“Really!”

A chuckle slipped from Tori’s mouth, “I never saw you as that type of bird…”

Lio faked a gasp, lets go and placed their (hands?) wings on their hips.

“How dare you,” Lio exaggerated, widening their eyes in faux disbelief. Tori laughs even harder. “After all this time we’ve been together, you make such assumptions that I - Lio, a member of the Bettelion - is not a coward?!? Not after what I or even you seen?!?”

Tori kept roaring with laughter, bringing a smile back into Lio’s face before joining in. Tears of sadness turned into tears of joy. As the laughter dies down, Tori spoke through the remaining muffled laughter.

“Still, I’m gonna miss you so much Lio!” Tori wiped a tear. “I don’t know what to do without you around.”

“Hey,” A wing went around Tori’s body. “I’m going to miss you and rest too, Tori! And I promise you that by the time I get there, I’ll find a way to contact you in pronto!!”

A grin appears on Tori’s face, prompting Lio to have a idea.

“Hey Tori, can you help take off my ribbon?” Asked Lio as they began tugging on the bow around their neck. Tori obliges, and helped untie Lio’s bow. Without their bow, Lio’s long neck looked so bare and almost unrecognizable if not for their top hat.

“Now close your eyes and hold still-”

Closing eyes? Sure! Holding still… Tori doesn’t. She doesn’t like to kept in one place the whole time, so naturally she shuffles as prays to dear life to stay still. As her eyes were shut, she felt something wrapped around her stomach a little tight. Something smooth and silky. Something like… wait is this-

“You can open your eyes now!”

As she slowly opens her eyes, Tori sees her friend with a warm smile gracing their face. She then looks down and sees Lio’s pink-blue ribbon wrapped around her like a scarf. She looks up in astonishment.

“You’re giving me your ribbon?! Why?”

Lio chuckled.

“I want you to have it!” Lio replied, “That way, no matter how much you miss me, a piece of me is still there with you!”

…One more hug was shared between the two.

“Thank you, Lio! You’re too sweet!”

“You’re welcome, Tori!”

As the parted, it was time. It was time for Lio to join the migration with the rest. They both looked into each other’s eyes once more.

“Promise me will meet back here when you come back?”

“To that hollow tree?” Lio pointed out. “Of course!”

With a mutual nod, Lio turns themself away from Tori. Spreading their wings, Lio began to ran. Sprinting off and away, they jumped up into the air and flapped their wings.

Once they were up high in the sky, they look behind once more. On the ground, was an ant-sized Tori waving their wing while wearing Lio’s ribbon.

Lio, with a smile, then looks on ahead, and into the clouds of the unknown.

“HONK HONK!!!”

Autumn… the season in which some animals, such as birds had to go away. Away for a long, long while…

But no matter wherever they are, no matter how apart. They will always be reunited in the home they found once more.

…For such love among others, are always and forever tied.

Additionally, I wanted to thank both the op’s for both Skytober & Hakkitober!! I can’t thank you both enough for creating these fun challenges for everyone to do! As well as to thank you to everyone else that joined and created their own works for each day!! Everyone’s artworks and fics were all amazing! Y’all really inspired and motivated me during the drawing month as well as contributing my growth as an artist and freed me (even just for a moment) from writers block! 🫶🫶

🌘 Naps 😴 | Hakkitober #23

“Come on, let’s bring you two back to the Tempus Daycare… Damn, you birds really put a lot of work on me having to find and get you two to sleep!”

Took longer than expected cause I had decided to rework the original sketch (I’ll try to find and take a picture of it when I can!) since it didn’t satisfy me. Now, I’m really proud how well it turned out after! Hope you enjoy c:

Host Club🍹| Hakkitober #3

Synopsis: The Hakkafe has fallen into hard times 😔

AN: I will admit right here and now that I am NOT knowledgeable in the topic of host clubs. I did a bit of research, but I can’t garuntee that this will be accurately and sincerely apologize in a advance 🙇‍♀️. And while I do know OHSHC, it’s also very small. Additionally, this really isn’t my best work (imo) as I technically left this open ended. Think of it more like a prologue of a dating sim of some sort where you select which route you wanna choose. THIS CAN ALSO BE READ AS PLATONIC AS WELL! Thank you for reading!

—-

“HAKKITOS!!!” Hakka cried out, causing the flock of birds within the guild meeting room to bring their eyes up to their leader.

“LISTEN UP!!! WE HAVE BAD NEWS!!!”

In a instant, panicked glances, whispers, and shouts filled the room.

“What’s going on?!?”

“BAD NEWS?!? OH NO!!”

“Please sir, spare us!!! DONT SEND US TO THE BLENDER!!!”

“Fuck- aight who left out our realistic props again?”

“WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE’RE WITH YOU!!!”

“HAKKITOS! HAKKITOS!! ORDER IN THE COURT!” Hakka cried out once more, shaking his hands around as the noise began to die down.

As a smug smile appears on his face for his loyal birds, he faked a cough and put on his serious voice.

“Hakkitos…” The man started “we are currently going through a tough time. I was told by the other boys that the Hakkafe is slowly down in its popularity and money. If we don’t fix this by the end of this month, we are in BIG trouble!”

Lots is whispers scattered around the room, discussing about the matter privately with their fellow bird workers. And far out of earshot where Hakka could hear them. One Hakkito leaned to another.

“Shit, we’re not gonna get paid…”

In response, their co-worker squints their eyes as they returned the look as they furrows their eyebrows, and strains their mouth.

“THAT BOI NEVER EVEN PAID US SINCE LAST MONTH WDYM?!?”

“…according to the reviews of the Hakkafe that I gathered,” Hakka waves a couple papers in his corrupted hand, as he paces back in forth. “We apparently aren’t doing enough to keep up the customers’ excitement during events. We need to come up with new ideas! NEW EVENTS!”

“Fortunately, our fellow guild members gave me some great ideas on how to make the customers Hakkafe experience better! In fact, the first Hakkafe event will start soon within this week!”

Many cheers roared throughout the room, smiling birds gracing the room with joy and relief.

“So?! What’s the idea, boss?”

“Why my Hakkitos," Hakka bends down and gives one a head pat. "We are planning our first event to be: A Host Club!”

.・゜゜・　　・゜゜・．.·:*¨¨* ≈☆≈ *¨¨*:·　　・゜゜・．.・゜゜・　　・゜゜・．

“Here we are…”

There, in the middle of the glimmering stars and bright moon, stands the Hakkafe. The Hakkafe - usually closed around this time - emitted a soft pink and rosy lights from the windows. Some chatter is heard as well as clashes of plates, furniture and glasses being moved around.

Walking on over, you took a look at your pamphlet once more in your hand.

HAKKAFE EVENT: HOST CLUB HAVE YOU 🫵 YES YOU - RIGHT THERE - WANT TO EXPERIENCE A NIGHT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET?! WITH A SENSE OF PASSION AND FUN?!? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER!! WITH THE HELP OF OUR SPONSORS, THE GUILD TEMPUS AND THE HAKKAFE PRESENT TO YOU A LIMITED TIME OFFER! ENJOY THE NIGHT WITH US AT THE HAKKAFE!! Any monster attacks, or any attacks of any kind are on the staff and customers will not be tolerated. More Terms and Conditions apply.

As you looked up as you were drawing close to the entrance, there was a man standing near the door talking to a little purple bird on a barrel. His hair is long and grey, reaching his mid-back. He wore a grey striped shirt with black pants and vest with gold accents.

The bird noticed you, pointing their wing over at you to the man. The man, pulling up the rear end of his glasses, looks over and sends out a smile.

“Oh, Ricrowdo! Quick, go on tell him that there’s another customer coming and prepare the table!” The man ushered, shooing his hands as Ricrowdo - the purple bird - jumped off a barrel. As you see Ricrowdo fly away and through the door, the man turns to you as reached the entrance.

“Hello!”

“Hi there!”

“You here for the Host Club Event?” The man asked, noticing your pamphlet. You shot a quick glance at it before meeting his purple eyes.

“Yeah! Who wouldn’t miss such an opportunity?” You replied as you brought it up, with the man nodding along with you. “And you are?”

“Vesper Noir, Scholar of Tempus!”

Your eyes widen up in shock.

“You’re Vesper?! I heard you and Magni were off an a expedition- What are you doing here?”

“Oh that,” Vesper mentioned, scratching the back of his neck. “The boys needed a bit of extra help. Me and Dez are going there by the time the event’s done!”

“Besides, some other members of the guild and people we know decided to take over me and Dez’s expedition while we help out here!”

“Ahem!”

The two of you jumped at the sound, revealing a blonde man in purple attire. The blonde in purple has their back leaned on the door - which is opened; showing a bit of the inside of the Hakkafe.

“Speaking of which, hey Dez!”

“Hey,” Magni yawned and stretched his arms a bit. “Dude, it’s so hectic today… I’m so worn out. It’s a good thing that it’s break time for me-”

“Wait wait,” You brought your hands, and looked at Magni, “Look, I’m glad you’re going to go relax after a shift! Especially since you and everyone is working hard! But who’s-”

You felt a little bit of weight on your head. Your eyes went straight up and see the same purple bird from earlier, sitting snuggly on you.

“Me! Your table is #8; 4th table on the right!”

You nodded. You took a few steps in through the doorframe, only to have a hand on your shoulder. You turned your back, to see Magni. Behind him, Vesper.

“Hey, can you promise us something?”

You turn to face them.

“Yeah?” You answered, “What’s up?”

Both guild members looked at each other, then back at you.

“I know we say this to every customer,” Vesper started, staring directly at you in the eyes. “But, this is still an important promise.”

He took a breath.

“Promise us that you will take care of the boys! All of them!”

You paused, taking in mind of this promise.

“Yeah, please do!” Magni added in, “We know that we’re supposed to be entertaining everyone. At the end of the day though, we’re all people with feelings too! Everyone, like you said, worked really hard! Especially considering the circumstances…”

“Sorry for not being there...” Vesper apologized, bowing his head a little. “But the least that we can do is hope that both you, the guests, and boys have a fun time!”

You didn’t say anything. You simply said the words with a small, yet unnoticeable smile on your face: “I promise!”

Vesper and Magni shot a smile back.

“Then enjoy…?”

“[Your Name]!” You introduced yourself. “[Y/N’s] my name!”

“Well then, enjoy yourself [Y/N]! Don’t you or the boys get into anything too crazy!”

“Yeah, not without us!”

You laughed, right before waving the two goodbye as you entered into the Hakkafe. Inside, is hectic - in a good way!

A lot of people were chattering, drinking, dining amongst themselves. Hakkafe servers were either bringing orders or busy making them. There seems to be a bartender coaching a Hakkito on recreating a particular drink. Some were even singing (drunk or not) songs with such joy and passion. You even took some quick glances at some well-dressed people - assuming to be the hosts/boys the two were talking about earlier - interacting happily with the guests.

As you arrived at your table, you sat down and grabbed the menu right in front of you. It has the title, “HOST MENU” on it.

Your eyes wander around, only to widen in surprise on how high the quality looks. Your eyes stopped at one to take in the details before going onto the next.

✨Regis Altare - The Prince Charming✨ “The hero to your heart!”

Simple, sweet, and matches the theme for his host persona! And by the looks of it, Altare dresses the theme too! Reminiscent of a winter prince straight out of a fairytale, Altare wears a white suit, with both light and dark blue accents.

“Wow!” You mused, eyeing the details of Altare’s illustration. “This looks amazing! You all really did put a lot of effort into this!”

Ricrowdo nodded, and fluttered off your head. Landing on the table, he pointed at the menu.

“The host menus’ are also refrigerated! Anyone who is on shift has their magnet on! Pretty genius am I right?”

That is pretty smart… You thought. You then wondered if the employee putting all the magnets on the host menus had fun with that job. Wait… how much money was spent to make these?! Your pamphlet did say that this event is sponsored, so supposedly the sponsors agreed to the refrigerated menus… Still though-

Shaking your head, you took a look at the other magnets. Next magnet has a man wearing black suit with orange and red accents. There also seems to be a key chain on him. He has his hands in his pockets as he flash a cheeky grin at you.

✨Axel Syrios - Childhood Best Friend✨ “Yo, it’s me! Been a while since we hanged out! Why don’t we grab a drink and catch up?”

Huh, that’s more casual than Altare’s tagline. The difference in their host appearance, taglines, and vibes they give off.

“I’m gonna let you know in advance,” Ricrowdo chimes in, breaking up your though process, “This guy is pretty unhinged.”

You raise an eyebrow.

“Isn’t everyone in the guild unhinged?” You questioned. Hearing a lot of stories of the guild and their unhinged shenanigans aren’t uncommon. And like among most of the population, you aren’t that fazed by it.

“Heh, touché!”

On the 3rd magnet, there is a man in purple, like Magni. However, he has pink and blue in their suit. All asymmetrical, yet makes the suit work. He points to you, glowing with enthusiasm and determination.

✨Gavis Bettel - The Comedy King✨ “WATCH THIS! This is going to be-”

…

“Are you going to…?”

“Nah! That’s all of it!” Ricrowdo waves off with a wing, “That’s intentional on his part. He told us to read it like that.”

“It is?” You were surprised, though considering that there is little context of the line, you were intrigued by what happened next.

The next boy had sported a red suit with a angry face with a slight blush. His arms were also crossed as he looks slightly at you.

✨Machina x Flayon - Bratty Tsundere✨ “Y-YOU HATE ME!”

“HUH?!”

You, admittedly, were taken aback at what he chose as his tagline. Laughing at your reaction, You shot a glare to Ricrowdo.

“What?! You got to admit that’s a pretty good line! Matches up with his host title!”

You rolled your eyes and sighed. As much as you hate to admit it, it fits… in a way. But hey, maybe you can take him! Perhaps the inner wit, pettiness and drive deep down to challenge him for a little fun.

This young man wears purple, just like the previous too. Unlike them, his color schemes include black, gold, and white. He also wears a low ponytail, and faces you flirtatiously with a lavender rose in his mouth.

✨Banzoin Hakka - The Charmer ✨ “The cutest and coolest, at your service!”

“Hey, that’s my creator!” The bird chirped, making happy little hops. The corners of your lips lifted up as you see the little guy danced. Having sparkles in his eyes like a child seeing their parent or their favorite tv character.

It’s quite nice to know that the Hakkafe manager and founder himself joined in on all the fun! Plus, he’s multi-tasking; checking up on all the customers during the host club event while kicking back and having fun! A huge win-win for him!

On the last magnet, another man in a black suit appears. His dual colours are orange and turquoise. The man looks with you with a serene look on his face. He holds a cup in his left hand, with the other on his hip.

✨Josuji Shinri - The Modest✨ | “Hey, it’s beautiful out here tonight; want to grab a drink while we stay up and chat?”

“Shinri and the Koillective really are a sweet bunch! Comfy and cozy vibes guaranteed no matter how afraid you are!” Ricrowdo remarks proudly before smirking, “Though the Kois do look rather puntable-”

“What?”

His eyes averted yours as changes the topic.

“Anyways, that’s all the boys that are on shift right now! Take your time to choose your host!”

After a moment of thinking, you lowered down your menu card and looked at Ricrowdo.

“So?” Ricrowdo asked, eyes sparkling. “Have you decided yet?”

“Yeah,” you leaned back, pointing to a particular boy. “I choose-”

—————-

DUN DUN DUN! Who will you choose as your host, dear reader?

Thank you for reading this fic! Like I said before, I tried researching a bit, and decided to make this open-ended (?) near the ending! I wanted to make you make your own choice! I mean, it is your visit after all!

Also, constructive criticism is allowed (as well with my other works)! And any information regarding host clubs that I miswrote are welcome too! Especially since this is my first work with a 2nd person perspective!

Bonus Question: Which title should Magni & Vesper in the menu? You can include any other members in Holostars too (even the alumni!)

#holotempus #holostars #writober2023 #Hakkitober #Hakkitober 2023 #I originally wanted Hakka to greet you and bring you and give you the menu before Ricrowdo’s but #I decided 1) To have a way to include Vesper and Magni to be here #and 2) Idk what title they would have #I tried lol #you can imagine the suits as anything you like #also if anyone cares: the people taking over the expedition is their Holostars JP senpais #Well except for Roberu - whose currently helping the them by doing the drinks #as well as teaching the Hakkito staff on making them #I can’t describe characters and their outfit description lol #my writing
