TBHK Ch.110–Thoughts and feelings

1. I don’t even know what to say about this. LIKE!!?!!?! Especially because Akane always said that supernaturals only ever think about themselves!!! GUYS… I wonder if this is gonna affect him as a character and his outlook on the supernatural (anyway they’re literally siblings and I was sobbing)

2. SOOO CURIOUS ABOUT THIS!!!! What’s the significance?? Is it a functional key? Probably… and if so what does it open?? Maybe it controls the clock somehow???? So many possibilities 😭

3. WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM. This is my SON. I love him so much and I was so happy natsuhiko went to go find him 😭😭😭😭

4. He trusts him so fully!!! He genuinely thought natsuhiko was coming to save him!! He thought they were—if not friends then at least *friendly* HE THOUGHT HE COULD TRUST HIM

5. When I tell you my heart DROPPED (but I am excited by all this yorishiro talk—more on that later)

6. TBHK character stop shoving strange substances into Mitsuba’s mouth challenge (level: impossible)

7. MYYYY BABY MY BABY YOURE MY BABY SAY IT TO ME!!! IIIII BET ON LOSING DOGGGSSSSS

(AND ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PREVIOUS ALMOST DEATH)

8. Friendly reminder that Teru is the worst boyfriend ever (he’s actively watching Akane eat shit)

9. I need someone with better media literacy than me to explain what the FUCK is up with these guys bc I feel like I know but like I don’t…. Every time I think I understand shit gets weird again. Like I’m following the story but I cannot analyze this

10. HIS FACCEEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭

OK THIS CHAPTER WAS AMAZING!!! I’m so scared for 111 bc WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN!!!! I have so many theories and ideas and ughughughugh it was so good (even though everything that happened was bad) 8/10 (I’m giving this rating kind of arbitrarily so don’t read into it too much)

So on the yorishiro thing: I think Kou might become Mitsuba’s Yorishiro. Now I know people can become them but can living people… I dunno. However, I think it’s really likely. I’m wracking my brain on what all this Mitsuba would have to value. Not his camera because that was Sousuke’s thing. And if not his camera, then what? Kou is the one thing/person that Mitsuba has grown truly attached to.

So I think next chapter Mitsuba will be dying, but Kou will somehow be able to break from the time thingy (either he wills himself awake—like has a power flare in defense of Mitsuba—or maybe someone helps him—but who 😭) and goes over to Mitsuba and while he’s crying and being all Kou, Mitsuba is gonna like think about Kou (maybe call him his friend for the first time) and somehow in the moment Kou will become Mitsuba’s yorishiro. TRUST GUYS TRUST.

Also on Mitsuba and Kou:

POOR KOU. He looked up to natsuhiko so much when they met right before the severance 😭😭 if he’s close enough, he would’ve SEEN everything happening to Mitsuba.

And also POOR MITSUBA. He trusted natsuhiko!!!!! The good news is that Mitsuba will probably fully shift sides now and possibly make a more direct effort to help Kou Yahsiro and Hanako. Genuinely though, his mom is hurt, *he* is hurt, his friend(ish) betrayed him. My poor baby 😭 why do AidaIro hate himmmm.

I would say something super smart and informed about the twins now, but as I said: nothing about them makes any sense to me.

Ugh I seriously don’t think I can wait till next monthhhhh!!!! If AidaIro lose it and actually kill off Mitsuba…. I don’t even know what I’m gonna do. 111 better be good or else 😭

(just caught up to the new tbhk chapters)

listen. I didn’t even like mitsuba first. but HOLY FUCK HIM AND KOU MADE ME CRY IN THE RECENT CHAPTERS. the angst was just on point. 

they’re so tragic, I can’t. I can’t. it’s even worse than akane aoi and aoi akane. 

#tbhk #itsu's tbhk rants #also. the fact that they were friends #but mitsuba died in a freak accident after making his first friend #my god i want to cry #again.

[minamotosousuke]

Thinking about this reverse car accident plot and it’s so funny imagining Kou laying there hopped up on pain meds watching as the cute quiet boy who sat infront of him the year prior cry and scold him for “getting himself hit” and “making him so scared” and kou having NO clue what’s going on but feeling what he would later describe as “falling in love”

#Mitsuba’s all choked up borderline smacking Kou with a pillow #it’s a combination of the meds and seeing his Love completely for the first time but he’s just staring dumbly and going ‘uh huh’ at Mitsuba #and then when HE apologizes to Mitsuba Mitsuba’s like WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING WHO DID THIS TO YOU INSWEAR I WILL KILL THEM!!! #if only that held any weight ugh #the contrast between the first visit and the second is insane tho the first he’s all calm and composed seeing kou all banged up and bruised #and broken and bandaged #and then the second day when it’s just him he keeps bursting into tears #his emotions are so all over the place he can’t help it #like he thinks he’s contained it and then he’s brushing Kou’s bangs back with with his fingers and then he sees another bandage and then #he starts crying again #cause what if kou died? what if he never got to get over himself and let kou know him? #what if he lost kou before he got to know everything about kou?

[sunnnfish]

Finally obtained my first physical volume of tbhk…. It’s volume 15 and it has the chapter about kou and nene visiting mitsubas mom and it dealt me so much physic damage reading it again. Mitsuba Sousuke and Minamoto Kou you mess me up so bad.

#dies when I think about mitsuba too much #it’s so unbearably sad. #anyways ummm this is like my fave volume cover :)))) and it had the picture of kou and nene with the apples. yknow #tee hee <- crying #tbhk #jshk #sunnfish.tbhk

TBHK men getting nightmares about s/o

how i think tbhk men would react to having nightmares about their s/o!

established relationship, fluff(?), headcannons

My Masterlists

Hanako

(do ghosts even sleep in the first place? ...let's just pretend they do for a sec)

he had a dream, where you left him for being a murderer.

he desperately begged for you to come back, clutching onto your clothes, tears welled up in his eyes.

but you just turned away, and continued walking.

he woke up, a cracked cry leaving his throat.

he realized it was a dream pretty quickly, but it still felt so real in that moment.

feeling a faint resemblance of a heart beating hard in his chest, he went looking for you, making sure that what he saw in his nightmare wasn't real.

he finds you curled up underneath a bundle of blankets in your bed.

he puts his cold fingers on your face, making sure that it was actually you, right there, in that moment.

...

you woke up in the morning, feeling a heavy weight on your arm.

hanako had been clinging onto you for the past few hours, making sure you didn't escape from his grasp.

he had a small put on his face, and seeing that you woke up, he pulled you closer to him and pout his face in your chest, blushing slightly.

"Thank you for being with me."

Kou Minamoto

kou had a dream where you had died from a supernatural because he wasn't strong enough to protect you.

he watched you being torn, screaming, because of his incompetence.

he shot straight upright in his bed, and after recognizing the familiar surroundings, he lowered himself back into the comfort of his blankets.

bundled up, he tossed and turned in the sheets for a while, heart racing out of his chest.

poor guy had the whole scene replaying in his mind over and over again :(

after the heavy feeling in his chest got too much for him to bear, he got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to drink a glass of water to cool him down.

kou would probably have too much pride to show up at your door about a nightmare.

so he just sat down at his couch, scrolling through the tv trying to find something to help him wind down.

oh, but he would definitely stick to you aalllllllllllll day during school.

"You wouldn't die on me, right?"

Sousuke Mitsuba

his dream was about his death. everything, from the beginning to the end. the excruciating pain, to the heartbreak of seeing his mom kneeling over his hospital bed.

and then there was you.

his only ever friend.

and slowly, you forgot about him.

you went on about life, as if he had never existed.

and that hurt more than being run over 1000 times with a car.

he slowly blinked himself awake, bringing his trembling hands to his face to wipe the tears out of his eyes.

looking forward, he saw you under the delicate moonlight, sleeping soundly.

he caressed your cheek, feeling more tears well up in his eyes, thinking about the fact that you would stay with him, even with all his imperfections.

the fact that he could be himself around you.

the fact that you chose him over anyone else.

...

you slowly woke up to the sound of faint crying.

mitsuba, seeing that you had woken up, began crying even harder, embarrassed.

the rest of the night was spent with him in your arms as you stroked his hair gently, offering words of encouragement.

"I'd miss you if you died."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK YOU FOR READING!!! i hope you enjoyed it! im not really experienced, so feedback is appreciated! im not really experienced with writing for tumblr, so i hope this turned out ok! i learned most of my stuff from reading other posts lol id be forever grateful if you left a like!! id be really happy to know someone enjoyed my work :3

[mayowayo]

mitsukou is just a little bit more tragic than hanene in my opinion..

like.. yeah hanene is also super sad but i feel like mitsukou just.. hits a little harder??

maybe its cause they were in the same class and he knew him when he was alive. nene didn't know hanako when he was alive, so.. it just feels a little less painful for her.

kou literally watched mitsuba die. and on top of that he met him again in the hell of mirrors and mitsuba had no memory of him.

also these two panels make me cry inside every time without fail.

WITH HIM LEAVING THE CAMREA?? LIKE STOP IT PLEASE GOD

(also when Kou developed the pictures and was looking at them and he found the one mitsuba took of him.. particularly heart wrenching.)

but wait! theres more!!

its so awesome and great and im didnt cry at all haha.

but seriously i cant with them. kou was just so willing to die FOR MITSUBA.

(even if it was in the picture perfect word and he *probably* wouldn't have died for real..)

mitsuba jumpscare wjnwsrnh

its not tragic just really fucking gay

he watched mitsuba die (pretty much die) AGAIN.

bro straight up asked him to kill him i fucking cant.

LIKE THESE TRAGIC GAY DORKS

Bsd Men Comforting you after your fav character died in your book/tv series

A/n: ⚠️SPOILERS FOR TBHK⚠️ I learned my favorite character died on his mom’s birthday *cough* Mitsuba and one went missing on his birthday *cough* Tsukasa so I wrote this

Characters: Dazai, Atsushi, Rampo, was going to add Junichiro and I might in the future but for now it’s these three

Dazai

Truth be told he doesn’t know how to react. Like it’s not a real character he can’t tell you ‘their not real what’s the big deal’ cause the gods know that would probably make you kick him out. At first he chose to leave you alone, and after a little while you left the room to get some water, so he decided to talk about it.

“Hey hun what happened?” He asked, grabbing your wrist before you could walk away.

“Nothing, it’s…it’s fine,” the lie would’ve probably worked if your eyes weren’t all red and puffy from crying, but regardless he pulled you into a hug.

“You don’t have to tell me but I still have every right to be concerned about you,” he said hugging you tighter.

“No really Dazai it’s fine, my favorite character died that’s all.” You forced a smile, testing how far you could stretch this lie.

“ ‘m not letting you go ‘til you stop crying,” he mumbled, pulling you over to the couch. You let out a small chuckle but didn’t protest.

“I still expect you to talk to me when you calm down a bit.” Apparently changing his mind from his previous statement. You didn’t protest while the two of you just sat their as your breathing slowly returned to normal and the tears slowly stopped. Gods you were so lucky to have a man like Dazai.

Atsushi

Poor tiger boy immediately wanted to know what happened, it hurt him to see you crying. So it wasn’t a big surprise that he showed up in your room, after seeing you shut the door with tears streaming down your face.

“Hey, are you okay?” He was hesitant to ask and regretted the sentence when you glared at him. “Sorry, sorry, I’ll go,” he began mumbling apologies. You got off the bed and grabbed his arm.

“You can stay , I’m just upset,” you reassured him. He looked at you concern written all over his face.

“Are you upset with me? If so I’m sorry for whatever I did,” he began rambling again, before you cut him off.

“You didn’t do anything, promise. It’s honestly a stupid reason,” you said nervously rubbing the back of your neck.

“If its bad enough to make you cry it’s not stupid,” he knew it was cheesy but it’s true if it makes you cry then it obviously matters.

“Okay fine, of your gonna interrogate me about it. My favorite character died okay that’s it I told you it’s a stupid reason.” You turned away from him more tears forming in your eyes. “You can leave now,” you mumbled, expecting him to leave you laid back down on the bed and curled into a ball.

“Not happening,” he said barely loud enough for you to hear. As he made you sit up and pulled you into a hug. “I’m not leaving until you stop crying,” he said firmly, even when you tried to pull away from him he didn’t allow it he just pulled you tighter against him, and you gave up after a while.

He did make you talk to him about it once you calmed down, and he made sure you were okay before leaving like said he would. Don’t worry he came back a little while later he just had some work to finish up.

Rampo

He figured it out instantly. Why you were crying, how the character died, exactly what point they died, ect. He opted to let you calm down for a bit. Truthfully he wanted to finish his snack, and didn’t feel like getting up at the moment (lazy ass bastard💀). Honestly though you preferred that, you were able to process everything, and calm down a bit before you left the room, going to grab some water(idk bout y’all but crying makes me thirsty). “Hey you alright, and before you say nothing happened I already know so just answer honestly,” he called from the couch.

“Gods I hate you sometimes.”

“You love me sweetheart don’t lie, but answer the question.”

“Ugh fiiiiine, no not really, I mean after all my favorite character died,” so what if you said it angrily you had every right, Rampo chose to ignore you even though he knew damn well what was going on.

“C’mere your staying with me, AND I’ll share my snacks.” You may as well have teleported to the couch with how quickly you got there. But I mean c’mon he promised to share his snacks soooo it’s a win win for you.

EEE FINALLY SUMONE WHO WRITES FOR TBHK !!!! if i could pls request (ghost)mitsuba! x fem! reader and (ghost)tsukasa x fem! reader ( seperatly btw not poly ) when their girlfriend ignores them as a prank?

Ah, I see you’re a person of culture as well. Yeah, I gotchu!

✧ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚Ghost! Mitsuba and Ghost! Tsukasa when their gf ignores them as a prank˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ ✿ Fluff and chaos, no warnings apply otherwise (unless you count Tsukasa as one) *＊❀Fem!Reader

Did not proof-read, sorry in advance!

(Off topic, but I can’t with this header, like imagine this demon child crawling through your walls- Idk about you, but I’d be terrified pookie 💔)

Tsukasa

This man is a relentless, terrifying, attention-craving force to be reckoned with.

Summary: You pretended to ignore him because he stole dessert (mecore) from you, and he climbed up on you and PHYSICALLY shook you back and forth for attention. This prank took a lot of willpower, let’s leave it at that. It stopped when he faked an apology, and you foolishly believed him. Then, when he had your attention again, he continued his usual shenanigans. 

“Nee, Y/N! Look! Did you know that firecrackers still crackle in your tummy? Can I try it with you?”  He beamed and laughed, before noticing your silence. “Y/N!!!!!” He whined, “Firecrackers!!” He took one and lit it up, holding out to you. He waved it in front of your face, before waving his hand in front of you. “Y/N!!!!!!” 

You had no peace the next few days because he continuously whined and clung to you, desperate for attention. “Nee, Y/N! Y! N! Y/NNNNNNN!!!!!!!” He was unbelievably childish before he finally left and you sighed in relief. However, he quickly returned and looked like a child before an angry teacher. “Y/n……” He looked at the ground, kicking his foot back and forth. “Did I do something wrong?” His voice was soft and weak. He looked at you with what seemed to be puppy eyes, not that your peripheral vision was much help. “I…I’m sorry.” Your heart broke, and you couldn’t bear it any longer. You looked the saddened ghost in the eyes, with pity, only to find him smirking right back at you. He played you like a fool, and you fell for it. 

“T-tsukasa..” You began, feeling embarrassed, “I-it was a prank….” His smirk grew wider at that. “I know! Hehe, let’s go play now!” You sighed, knowing he wasn’t going to allow you to leave anytime soon…..

Mitsuba

-Summary: This man is a mess of apologies and what did I do wrong?! You caved in easily because he's just so cute and you couldn’t take it. 

“Y-Y/n…? Um, why are you ignoring me..?” He looked at you, teary, glistening eyes, fragile trembling voice. “D-did I d-do something wrong…? How can I make it up to you?! I’ll do anything!!” 

That was the breaking point, and you couldn’t bear to see him cry. It was like hitting a puppy, they might deserve it, but you feel too guilty to follow through. You hugged him, tightly, so he felt safe in your embrace. “Shh, Mitsuba, I’m so sorry…It was a prank! I won’t do it again, I swear.” He looked up at you, “Really? Do you mean it?” His face slowly brightened and he began to beam at you. “Ah, I’m so glad it was just a prank! I don’t know what I would do without you….” The way he worded it was like you nearly died, but it was still a sweet sentiment nonetheless. 

Bonus!  You ignored Tsukasa fr and he thought it was a prank. It wasn’t.

“Hey, is this another one of those pranks? Oh cool! I know you’re faking it! Hehe, just give up! Let’s go play!” 

“...Hey, I said stop it! This prank is weird, and I don’t get it. Hey! Y/N! Y/N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Little did he know, you were ignoring him for real. 

Sorry it was short, I had no time, but hopefully it was a nice little oneshot!

Random Stuff

So... giving this manga a really fast look... I want to read it thoughtfully again someday These little things stood out to me...

Hanako and keys....... please stop.. I can't take it. This little pose of his mocks me a bit. you want to know about my key so baaad?~ realllllly?~ just haaaang there.~ there seems to be a lock in there too? if that won't make me go even more crazy her brooch is also there. for some reason.

Everything as in... 'everything'? then how come you didn't know his future will change? or that it's different from what's in his book, even? his inference with supernatural stuff (the clock) while you call him 'normal' While this 'everything' is not so reliable for me at this point, I'm still interested to see you back at some point to tell us more about this 'everything'.

Never gets old. ~

I wonder how come Kou didn't tell Teru Hanako-san put a seal on his staff or how Teru supposedly didn't notice the seal on it with it right there in front of his own eyes many times until now. Did he see it's best if it stays sealed like that for Kou's sake, despite it being like a 'family treasure' to the Minamotos?

Talking about Teru looking after Kou...

He keeps a close eye on Kou, to the point when Kou skipped class, he was there to see about it...

but when Kou stayed after school to hang out with an 'evil spirit' as Teru calls it, got beaten by Tsukasa... he was nowhere to be found.... how come? it would be funny if he didn't ask about Kou's injury after he got home or if Kou was like: yeah.. I fell down. haha.

Hmm... Tsukasa is selfish? How come? Please... I'm crying in here and want him to think about HIMSELF more. Not too 'wise' of you miss, you should know better. Not to say... she is talking as if she doesn't put herself that category. The deepest part of that category. How funny.

I wonder juuuust a little why she would show some nice gestures from time to time with others...

like the mokke or even Mitsuba 2.0, while she goes around stating she doesn't care if all case to exist at the end.

Nene is not an exception. She even talked about her in person. In front of her- let's be friends/I don't want to harm you. Behind her back- I don't care for her, even if she doesn't want to keep going in destroying the Yorishiros, I won't give her a choice, then I don't care if she died out of it. .....................

Another thing... she seems to take Nene's hands in hers quite often... which kind of makes me wonder...

Nene didn't ever question her hands heat, or said they are cold or whatever. She appears in photos normally, even ... hmm... something about her is different from usual 'ghosts'. she is not a living, yet not a ghost... fine. who cares.

Ok, to cool off!

Ehhhh.... perfection.......

Let's keep going!

Hmm... doesn't this apply to ch 86? or... does a cheek kiss count? ...... or were they supposed to have it back then? after all... Hanako-kun really seemed to be about to do that, but was holding back I guess?

Hmm... really deep words. kinda reminds me of this...

Anyway... these...

Huh? You queen of luck. Won't say more.

forgetting about the whole -boy/girl- thing because I just feel it's misleading at this point... what do you mean sir?! ............. I'm just laughing, if anything, looking forward to see the lovers' suicide ............ this thing... when you don't want to see things in 'some way' but you're forced to, anyway. it's mocking.

Ok, now... p.p arc related little stuff

Defensive lovely Nene-chan!

This boy and keys... again... STOP!!!

T-T

Can perfectly see Tsukasa & Nene in here.~ But oh, we got a similar thing with them, hehe...

uhh... how lovely...

what a nice feeling...

Then do a thing about him, instead of just threatening little him then crying later because of how 'helpless' you are. Prove your attitude to me, Kou-kun. Not with words, tho. I'm already sick of that.

Still feeling bad Tsu was left out from all this fun!!! Ahhh!!! He would love to be a part of this!! WON'T HE?! That wasn't fair!!! WHY wasn't Tsukasa asked to come join in this, huh?! At some point Amane-kun can say "I had these tickets to go watch a movie with my lil bro but he doesn't like theaters, so would you come with me, Yashiro-san?" then "we need students to volunteer to clean the pool, I asked Minamoto 'Yashiro-san' even Mitsuba 2.0 is there! and we still need more participators" THEN GO TO YOUR SUPPOSED -THE CLASS NEXT DOOR- TWIN"!!!!!! UHHHGGG!!! This thing makes me angry!! I get maybe we weren't supposed to see Tsukasa with others too much back then, or even the twins together too much.. but like... that's not fair....... let the boy have some fun!!!

................... ok... enough of that........... didn't expect I will talk this much about it.......

Oh... some deep words, again....

At times I really wonder... If Tsukasa had some other goals out of letting our guys in this perfect pic world, beside that obvious 'grant M 2.0 wish' one destroy No.4's yorishiro... maybe he wanted them to get what kind of reality they actually live in, see how they would react.. will they still want it? reject it? try to change it? Hanako-kun is a special case, isn't he? I think maybeee... to Tsu... this was also a push for Hanako-kun into the right direction! get him to open his eyes to some of his hidden desired and actually.. at some point.. voice some of them out!

In addition to everything, maybe he said that influenced by their p.p arc experience. Tsu even got Nene-chan to lean some cool lessons in the little experience/the wish of No.4 thingy. How cool of him.

I don't know how to put this thing... but all I will just say is that Tsukasa maybe was after hitting too many birds with one stone out of the p.p thing. He must be proud of his work at this point. Lots was achieved in that arc, especially on the HanaNene side and MK, which also seem to Tsu's interest kind of. This boy... a true mastermind, have to say. looking at 12 y.o Tsu... am I surprised? not at all.

That being said, let's welcome our cute little mastermind kitty-boy!~ no matter how much time passes, I'm so in love with this whole scene.

So, yeah... I really do sympathize with Amane-kun in here. I mean... his little brother is soooo irresistible~ let's admire him together, Amane-kun!!!

yessss, just like this! . . .

Due to pic limits, some more stuff will be added in a 'reblog'.

OMG THEORY, what if Ms. Mitsuba sees Mitsuba 2.0 after the school’s time is fixed. Like she sees him with her own two eyes, like how Aoi is now after the whole severance dilemma. I will be so happy.

WHAT IF YOKOO AND SATOUU STARTS SEEING THE GHOST AND SUPERNATURALS.

I’m praying this happens.

Hello, sorry if I write something wrong I am using the translator not is my native language.

I love your fic, your watch is running honestly, it is my favorite fic but I saw that this is pre-canonical and I had my doubts about how the events of the manga They would develop with the relationship of Teru and Aka's fic, for example, the relationship between Aoi and Akane's childhood friends would not be there, I would like to know how the separation arc would develop because in the manga when that happens, Akane only loses his ability to control time but without major damage but here xD poor aka, and the current arc of the festival with the great clock and the blood kills supernaturals.

This has nothing to do with it, but knowing that Aka liked Sosuke's photos a lot, if he dies and is condemned at school, I only see Aka, not knowing who he is but liking his photos a lot and I would start to fill him with questions about what he was like be a human being and teru just saying: now also in is your problem.

I'm sorry if it's too long, I just wanted to get my doubts out of my head, I hope I don't bother you.

have a nice day

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the Aka fic! and I am always happy to talk about it! :D

I know I used the ‘pre-canon’ tag, and while I do want their world to be the tbhk world (with some artistic liberties), I am afraid the canon plot has already been kicked so hard it is far easier to treat it as a disconnected au in the same universe. 

We don’t need to go as far as the Grim Reaper Sacrifice’s arc for major changes to show up, the reason Nene met Hanako in the first place is because she wanted to date Teru, the equivalent of a school celebrity that you can only ‘score’ with magic, but by the time canon start, Teru would already be dating Aka: He is off the market.

So if she could see Teru with a lover I can’t imagine her trying to break them up to get Teru to date her, so she would not eat the mermaid scales.

The butterfly effect of this, plus Akane not existing, would be insane, and it would just pile up with time (cause I know canon teru has info about the supernatural that hasn’t been revealed yet, and since the fic is in his pov it just doesn’t work. He can't be a mysterious character with big secrets as a narrator). I just used ‘pre-canon’ so people would know Teru would be aged down, the most I’ll do is make references every once in a while about a canon thing... I’m sorry if it gave you hope for the future anon...

Your ask does make me imagine how Aka would handle meeting mitsuba and a severance though.

Poor Mitsuba would catch no breaks if his ghost met Aka, you are right that Aka would be a nightmare. Mitsuba, even when he tries to be as annoying and intimidating as he can, isn’t nearly as intimidating or cold as Teru, so Aka is completely unshaken when he is called a ‘pushy pervert!’ or anything of sorts.  And when Aka learn Mitsuba took the pictures?? He’ll be unbearable (Mitsuba would be a tiny little bit happy someone like his photos so much, but still mostly annoyed) Mitsuba’s rest will have no peace.

As for the severance: Aka would be doing a school patrol with Teru during obon, and since there are no signs of struggles (Akane isn’t there to fight the supernaturals), or glasses left behind it would take Teru some time to realize someone was kidnapped, he may even be oblivious to it until Aka start cracking.

(The rest of this reply contains spoilers. Not plot spoilers but tiny information about Aka’s that wasn’t revealed in the fic yet, so it could be taken as fun facts or spoilers depending on what kind of info you value.)

Both would panic, Aka does not know about the severance and one of his biggest fears is to disappear, so watching his body crack would make him lose it. Considering Teru would panic too but try to be calm, Aka may believe this is the end and cry, (he isn't exactly a crybaby but he does cry far more easily than Akane.)

Teru would freak out because he knows how Aka’s memories work: The supernatural is a keeper of the present, so he was ‘built’ to live in the present. Memories of his day-to-day life are harder to forget than memories of something that’s detached from it. 

For example: If a student graduate and never show up again, Aka will forget memories about them far easier than memories of someone he sees every week. If he is put somewhere that he has never been before and he doesn’t know anyone, he will have no connections to his school life and lose his memory way way faster so that he can avoid being stuck in the past and just enjoy the present, adapt so this new place is his new home.

So Teru is scared of just how much Aka might forget. He gives him the bracelet full of bells that he had given Aoi, and makes him promise to not take it off no matter how ‘itchy and uncomfortable’ the bells fell for a supernatural (the bells are his only guide towards whatever boundary Aka lands on).

“Don’t leave me yet, it’s too soon.”

You were hanging out with him again, when a ghost you knew as “Tsukasa”, who referred to himself as “Amane’s” younger twin brother, horribly tore Mitsuba’s soul out. Literately.

Warnings: a whole shit ton of angst, cursing/foul language, mentions of death, maybe mentions of suicide(? from reader), Tsukasa needing some serious mental help, implications that reader is female (she/her), implication of some type of sh?, etc,.

(A/N) : So again, it’s proofread. But if there’s anything I missed lmk!! Also it switches to your aunt Autumn perspective after a bit, so you have explanation, then Kou’s. And, yeah I did add more conflict lmao.

Prev. >> Next

"Soo.." Kou hummed as he walked home with you.

"So?" You repeated, your voice a little giddy.

"How did things go with your little ghost lover huh?" He teased, a knowing smirk on his face.

Your face flushed, "He's not my-"

"I'm just kidding, calm down." He laughed.

"But." he said "I think it went well by the way I saw you two hugging each other like that."

"Like what?" You asked.

"Like you weren't gonna see him again." He hummed.

But the way you tensed up didn't go unnoticed by him.

"What's wrong?" He asked, turning back to kick a pebble on the sidewalk as you walked.

"What do you mean?" You replied.

"I'm not blind." He sighed, obviously knowing something was up.

You bit your lip turning the other way.

"It's nothing."

"You swear on my life?" He asked, sighing again when he heard you go silent.

"I had a nightmare." you finally confessed.

You had already got to your house, so you just sat down on the steps of the front porch to explain.

He sat by you, waiting patiently.

"What was it about?" He asked, careful not to make you uncomfortable.

“He died again, Kou.” You struggled not to sob.

Before Kou could reply, or say something to comfort you, you continued.

“Last night. I heard this voice. It kept telling me, it’s time, it’s time. Then I heard a scream, my scream. But it wasn’t pained, so I knew I was just horrified or something.” You winced, memory fogging up.

“T.. There was this horrible squelching noise, like you know. It sounded like something was being torn out of something, out of someone.” You rambled, eyes darting all around the street, desperately trying to not cry.

“And then I..” you stopped, choking out a sob.

You felt sick just remembering it, clasping a hand over your mouth, as if that would help keep the bile down.

“And then I saw him, dead.” You choked.

“He was dead, Kou.” You sobbed.

“The last thing I heard before I woke up, was a voice echoing for me to ‘wake up’.” You cried out, and Kou’s arms instinctively wrapped around you as an attempt to comfort you.

Kou pursed his lips in a tight line as you sobbed into his shoulder, he knew this meant something. And he knew he had to tell Teru about it.

He gently pushed you a bit, so he could look at your face. He wiped your tears away.

“He’s going to be okay.” He assured, though he wasn’t so sure himself.

“He’s going to be okay.” He repeated, though this time it sounded like he was trying to reassure himself.

.

.

After a while, and after you finally collected yourself. You had said your goodbye to Kou and went inside your home.

Your aunt seemed to be waiting anxiously by the kitchen counter, but she sighed in relief when she saw you.

“Oh good, I was seriously starting to get worried.” She looked like she just saw a ghost, or maybe it wasn’t a ghost she saw, but she looked terrified.

You noticed the home phone cell was hanging off the counter by it’s cord, and there was a bat on the ground.

“Everything okay?” You asked, noting the way she rushed to lock the door.

She made a sort of ‘pssh’ sound, following it up with “Of course, why would anything be wrong?”

Which honestly made you worry a little, but when she assured you everything was okay and she was just worried for you, you dropped the subject.

“Well, I’m going to go shower and then go to bed.” You say, already starting up the stairs.

“Okay, you do that.” She called as you already were halfway up.

You thought it was weird, she never acted that way. If anything, she encouraged you to stay out later if it meant you were having fun, as long as you let her know. And Kou did let her know. So why was she freaking out? You wanted to pry into it, but seeing as she wouldn’t budge you decided against it. Opting to just take a shower, get ready for bed, and go to sleep. Though you couldn’t help but worry as she seemed really shaken up.

.

.

Once she was sure you were asleep, she climbed up the stairs to check on you. She sighed, relieved that you were okay. She slumped herself against the corridor wall, sliding down till she ended up sitting with her knees bent in front of her.

What had happened?

She was just doing what she usually did while she would wait for you. Cleaning, tidying up, and doing her self care before you got back. When suddenly she heard the voices too.

At first, she didn’t believe it, thinking that maybe all this talk about the supernatural and dead friends was getting to her head.

And she did end up believing it was all in her head and was just hearing things from the anxiety.

At least, for a bit.

She had heard a loud screech, an inhuman one. It shook her down to her bones with how intense it is.

Then there was a thud, but it wasn’t just a small thud from something she knew she left almost hanging of the counter, it was a loud THUD.

Like a body falling to its death.

“Hello?” She called, turning her head to where she heard the sound.

No response.

“Anybody there?” She called again, setting the lathered up dish to the side and dried her hands to investigate the racket.

She tiptoed, thinking maybe someone broke in. So just in case, she grabbed a bat she had laying around in case of this kind of situation.

But as she swung around the corner, she was horrified.

It was you.

But it wasn’t you at the same time.

You hung there, kind of just dangling. A rope tied tightly around your neck, making said spot purple due to the lack of oxygen, she assumed.

The sight alone horrified her, making her drop the bat she was holding so tightly.

She didn’t even notice she wasn’t blinking until she did, and the image in front of her was gone.

She backed away, slowly, eyes stuck on the exact spot—as if it might reappear if she didn’t. She grabbed the home phone, quickly dialing Kou’s phone number, which she had memorized knowing he’d know where to find you or he’d be with you if you weren’t home yet.

Once he picked up the phone, she began mumbling out stuff.

“Where is (Y/N)?”

“Is she okay?”

“She’s not in trouble is she?”

“Is she with you?”

“IS SHE OKAY?”

Her voice practically echoed in Kou’s ears, as he tried to make sense of what she was saying, and reassure her that you were still at school, probably talking to that ghost you called “Mitsuba”.

She asked him frantically if he could go get you, that’s its too late for you to be out, insisting you’d be safer at home.

Which was unusual to Kou too.

“Yeah, hang on.” Was all he said so he could try to register why she was panicking like that, before hanging up and heading out the door.

Were you in danger? He thought. But if you were he knew you were more than capable of protecting yourself. Still, your aunt’s frantic panic from earlier worried him.

He was relieved to see you, safe, with Mitsuba.

He was going to call you over, tell you it was time to head home cause your aunt was worrying so much, but he waited. He wanted for your guys’s moment to last a little longer.

So when you hugged Mitsuba after he said he finally remembered you, he thought then was a good time.

“I’m not interrupting anything am I?” he asked.

He didn’t miss the way Mitsuba glared at him, and he chuckled lightheartedly at it. He watched as you wiped your tears, your laugh coming out a bit choked, but he knew it was a happy one.

—

Back home, your aunt was pacing around in the corridor.

You hadn’t gotten home yet,

Kou kept only reading her messages and not telling her if you were okay or not,

You weren’t answering your phone,

She was panicking.

Quickly she texted Kou to hurry over with you, and continued to anxiously pace the halls. She looked back at where she saw it, saw you. And shakily exhaled in relief when she didn’t see it again.

Finally, she thought as she heard the door crack open.

“Oh good, I was starting to get worried.” She laughed, hurriedly going to lock the door.

.

.

And that brought you to the moment at hand.

She kept glancing at your sleeping figure every few minutes, as if you’d somehow be dead if she didn’t. You could feel it, someone watching you while you slumbered. But you shook it off, not really interested in it.

Eventually, exhaustion caught up with her. Both from the anxiety and nerves, and from having acted so frantic. She fell asleep right outside your door.

You yawned, feeling the warm sunlight leak into your room from the crack in the curtains. You got up, getting dressed, and went to the bathroom to quickly wash your face before deciding you looked well enough to head out.

The yelp you let out when you saw your aunt outside your door was loud enough to wake her up.

“Oh, okay good.” She sighed after seeing you were alright.

You raised an eyebrow.

“What’re you doing outside my door?” You asked, a little startled.

“Am I in trouble?” You asked again, to which she shook her head.

“No, no. Just. Personal reasons.” She sighed, standing up and dusting herself off.

“Alright,” you said after a moment of hesitation “are you sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine,” she said, but after noticing the slight attitude she gave you she added “thanks for worrying, I appreciate it really. But I’m okay.”

You gave her a suspicious glance before mumbling a quiet ‘if you say so’ and heading downstairs.

“I didn’t make breakfast cause you know, but if you finish getting ready I should have something ready by then.” She suggested, already getting the items for it.

“No it’s okay, I’m good. You seem tired, you should rest.” You say, grabbing your shoes.

Slipping them on, you continued “Besides, I’m not really hungry anyways.”

“Oh okay, you sure?” She asked.

You nodded.

“I’m good, but thanks! Rest mom!” You shouted as you ran out the door.

“Don’t be out too late!” She warned, before she heard the door shut.

You walked out, bathing in the cool morning air, sighing—it felt peaceful. You looked over, and Kou shot you a smile from the end of the street, so you ran to catch up.

“You ready?” He asked, to which you nodded.

“Let’s go.” You confirmed.

.

.

Arriving at school, you both decided to hang out at school, not really interested in the activities. You knew Teru might bite you guys in the ass about it, but you also knew he’d help you with the work.

You headed over, with really no direction. Just the sole intention of finding Mitsuba.

And after a while you did, greeting him with a smile. He only rolled his eyes, but you noticed the slight twitch in his lips. He smiled. Kou cleared his throat.

“Before you had that.. remembrance, I was going to say we should help Mitsuba figure out his unfinished business!” Kou exclaimed excitedly, making you laugh.

“Shut up you hella lame pervert with a traffic-safety earring,” Mitsuba scoffed “she had every right to react like that.”

“And I’m not saying she didn’t.” Kou sighed, “point is—“

“I don’t even know your name, and you’re going to supposedly help me?” Mitsuba laughed sarcastically.

“Oh that’s right.” Kou began, before pausing in realization “Wait haven’t you heard my name from (Y/N)?” He asked.

“Maybe but.. can’t remember.” Mitsuba lied shrugged, with an ‘innocent’ pout.

Kou’s eyebrow twitched, making you laugh.

“Well then,” Kou started, clearing his throat “my name is Kou Minamoto. The second son in an ancient and honorable exorcist family!”

Mitsuba clasped a hand over his mouth, struggling not to burst out in laughter “That has got to be the most stupidest thing I’ve heard, you’ve been watching too much anime, creepy.” scooting away to make it even more dramatic.

Kou pouted with a huff, and you leaned against the nearest wall, eyes glimmering with amusement as you watched.

“What does the self proclaimed ‘exorcist’ ,” Mitsuba snorted “with a hella-lame traffic-safety earring want with me?”

“It’s Kou!” Said boy corrected.

“So, the hella-lame pervert with a traffic-safety earring.” Mitsuba repeated with a cocky grin.

“Kou! It’s Kou!” He insisted, his patience running thin when he heard Mitsuba laugh at him “damn I’m seriously gonna erase you!”

Laughing, Mitsuba looked at you and put on an innocent face.

“Please don’t be violent?” He taunted, before bursting out into another fit of giggles.

Kou sighed, grabbing him and pinning him against the ground with his staff directly above him, making Mitsuba yelp.

“(Y/N) he’s gonna kill me! He’s gonna kill me!” He wailed, as if asking you for help.

“You have five seconds to tell me your unfinished business, or I’ll erase you! You hear me?!” Kou demanded, pressing him into the ground with his knee.

“I’m sorry, ‘m sorry!” Mitsuba dramatically cried, nodding frantically.

Kou got off of him, and Mitsuba sat up with a pout on his face.

“I already know your name is Mitsuba, but..” Kou paused, thinking of something to ask him “how old are you?”

No answer.

“Year in school?”

“He died in middle school, Kou.” You sighed, feeling sick as you remembered the nightmares.

“What’s your ‘unfinished business’?” Kou asked, turning to you miserably, as if asking “Can I?” when Mitsuba didn’t reply, but you just laughed and shook your head, with a smile that said “No it’s fine, it’s endearing after a bit.”

Growing frustrated, he grabbed Mitsuba with a glare, fistful of his scarf.

Mitsuba yelped.

“Stop, it’s a picture! It’s a photograph!” Mitsuba cried, struggling to escape Kou’s grip.

“A.. picture?” Kou asked, a bit confused as he let go of Mitsuba’s shirt.

“I.. I think.” Mitsuba mumbled.

His eyebrows furrowed as he glared up at Kou “You can’t just go asking me about my ‘unfinished business’. I honestly don’t have an answer at the top of my head.”

Then adding, “But before I died, there must’ve been a picture I wanted to take.. I think.”

“If you’re actually going to help me finish my ‘unfinished business’, then go get my camera. I’m pretty sure (Y/N) knows where to find it.” Mitsuba muttered, awkwardly shifting around.

.

.

“He’s so annoying..” Kou sighed as you both were on your way to the photographer club’s classroom.

You laughed.

“I think it’s funny.”

“Yeah, when it’s not you.” Kou groaned in annoyance, earning another chuckle from you.

You entered the classroom, only to see it empty.

“I remember Mitsuba once tried to get me to join the photographer club.” You sighed, grabbing his camera from a counter that had Mitsuba’s name written under it, and then a date. His death date.

“Why didn’t you?” Kou asked.

You shrugged, already making your way out.

“Didn’t really interest me. But god are Mitsuba’s photo’s good. It feels like you’re actually there.” You explained with a smile.

“What do you mean?” Kou asked again, not really understanding what you meant.

“Oh, most of the pictures I’ve seen him take were of scenery.” You hummed, turning on the camera and opening it’s gallery.

“Look,” you said, showing Kou some of the pictures Mitsuba took.

Kou looked in awe, his eyes widened at all the beautiful scenic photos.

“It’s..” he mumbled.

“Beautiful? Yeah I know.” Mitsuba said with a grin, taking the camera from my hands.

“Shouldn’t we head outside then?” You suggested, to which both boy’s agreed.

CLICK.

Another picture Mitsuba had snapped, and another second you struggled not to burst out into giggles.

“Mitsuba,” Kou called, groaning when the ghost boy didn’t reply.

“Hey Mitsuba?” He repeated, struggling to keep himself balanced.

Mitsuba hummed, as if to say “what is it?”

“This hurts!” Kou cried out dramatically, making you press your hand harder over your mouth to make sure you didn’t laugh.

Mitsuba looked down, “you look good under my feet” he laughed with a cocky grin.

“Damn it you’re gonna regret this, I swear!” Kou shouted, trying to keep him and Mitsuba balanced.

You burst out laughing, no longer being able to contain the laughter spilling out of your soft lips.

A sound Mitsuba thought was melodic, and smiled at it. Kou glared at you, as if that would stop you from laughing at his torture, before sighing.

“I mean, this better be the picture you wanted to take.” Kou grumbled.

Mitsuba scoffed with a grin, turning his focus back to his camera.

“Uh-huh.. this is totally it.” He snickered, making you laugh along.

You, Kou, and Mitsuba had already taken a few photos. Some of kittens, which had unfortunately strangled didn’t like Kou. Of a beehive, somehow the bees didn’t like the idea of being photographed and attacked Kou. And of a rainbow, which ended up with Kou almost getting rid of Mitsuba on the spot.

“That’s got to be the fourth time you’ve said that.” Kou sighed, helping Mitsuba off his shoulders.

Mitsuba went over to go show you the pictures he took. He did end up taking a few of the birds in the nest before he and Kou startled them, but he also took a picture that made you cackle.

It was a photo of the view he had from Kou’s shoulders. Kou’s eyebrow’s were furrowed in frustration, trying to stay balanced and not fall or drop Mitsuba. His blonde hair was slightly ruffled from Mitsuba’s pant’s brushing against it.

It was very amusing to you, Kou groaned when he heard your laughing and snickering with Mitsuba.

“You two are so mean I swear.” Kou whined, letting his head fall forward against the nearby wall.

“Can’t we just rap this up already?” Kou complained, lifting his head slightly to look for your response.

Mitsuba gave you a look of ‘watch this’, and headed for Kou.

“Whaaat?” Mitsuba asked, dragging out the ‘a’ letter.

“But I thought you guys were gonna stick with me until I found the picture I wanted to take?” Mitsuba brought his sleeve-covered hand up to his mouth, to create a ‘innocent’ look.

“Or what? Is the ancient and dignified exorcist with the hella-lame traffic-safety earring,” Mitsuba snickered making Kou angrier “a promise breaking liar with a hella-lame traffic-safety—“

Within seconds, Kou had Mitsuba pinned to the ground again. “Don’t be so full of yourself!”

Mitsuba screamed, frantically writhing around to escape Kou’s grip once again.

“I’m disappearing! I’m gonna disappear!” Mitsuba wailed, making grabby hands for you to help.

But you were laughing your ass off, as this had been the umpteenth time this had happened.

.

.

“So hey,” Kou mumbled, looking over Mitsuba’s shoulder to see what he was photographing “you’ve only been taking pictures of animals and scenery.”

“Yeah, thanks Mr. obvious.” You joked, making Mitsuba laugh with you whispering a quiet ‘good one.’

Kou glared at you both, but nonetheless continued on what he was saying.

“What about people?” He asked, looking over at a couple of kids playing at the school field “you don’t want to take pictures of people at club or practice or, anything?”

Mitsuba paused for a moment, taking his focus away from taking the photo. “Uh.. well.”

Mitsuba cleared his throat, and even you went quiet to listen.

“Pictures of people do have an easier time winning awards but..” he paused, but then moved his focus back to photographing.

“What about me?” Kou practically chirped.

“What about you?” Mitsuba repeated.

“Why don’t you take a picture of me?” Kou asked with a grin.

“Yeah..” Mitsuba gave him a weird look.

“I’ll pass.”

You burst into laughter for the nth time, falling down from the crouching position you were in.

“Why?!” Kou whined, clearly confused why Mitsuba wouldn’t take a photo of him.

“I’m pretty particular about the pictures I take,” Mitsuba said as a matter of factly “it’s my policy to only take pictures of things I like..”

“Or things that are important to me.” He mumbled, glancing over to you who was still trying to stop laughing.

“Oh?” You all heard, turning around to see who it was.

“Oh, hey Yokoo!” You greeted, barely being able to catch your breath from laughing so much.

“Hey (Y/N), Kou.” Yokoo hummed in reply, adding “What? Did Kou suddenly become a jokester too?”

He gestured to your frame that was still sitting down, only holding yourself up by your elbows.

“No..” you giggled, getting back up.

Yokoo shook his head fondly, smiling. “What’re you guys doing out here?”

“Uh.. we were—“ Kou stuttered.

“Having a photo shoot! Yeah.” You blurted out.

Yokoo raised an eyebrow, chuckling at your odd behavior. “Never a dull moment with you two, huh?”

He looked down at Kou’s hands, narrowing his eyes down at it. With a hum, his eyes stared intensely at it.

“That camera..” he mumbled, “wasn’t that Mitsuba’s?”

“You..” Kou paused. “..know him?”

“We were in the same class in first year..” Yokoo explained “but.. he died. In an accident or something.”

You shuddered, turning your head the other way, as if that would help drown out what he was saying.

“Sometime last winter..”

“What?” Kou mumbled in disbelief.

“I was never really close to him, but you were in that class too, weren’t you Kou?” Yokoo asked, turning over to look at Kou, but he was looking at Mitsuba, who Yokoo couldn’t see.

“Sorry for talking about that.” Yokoo apologized after seeing you wince. “I know you were close.”

“WHAT? I WAS?” He panicked, feeling a bit bad.

Mitsuba gave Kou a side glance, but it looked kind of like ‘see your friend remembers me, even though I literally sat in front of YOU that who year’.

“Sure were!” Yokoo confirmed, continuing to ramble on “Well I guess it’s hard to remember now, since we’re all in different classes.”

Yokoo noticed Kou wasn’t exactly paying attention and turned to look at where he assumed he was watching.

“Hey.. What’re you looking at?” He asked.

“Oh, probably another ‘supernatural’ again, you know Kou’s a little..” you spun your finger in circles on the side of your head, ‘crazy’.

Yokoo laughed, making Kou glare at you both before looking back at Mitsuba.

“Mitsuba.. that Mitsuba?”

“Yeah, I—“ Yokoo was about to speak again when his teammates called him back over “guess that’s my cue to leave. See you two later!”

“Mitsu—“ Kou stuttered out, but Mitsuba interrupted him.

“I tried talking to..” his voice cracked “every person I ever thought was my friend..”

He laughed lightheartedly, “Well except for you know, the one I didn’t remember.”

You smiled a bit, but your expression dropped when you saw Mitsuba’s face.

“But none of them knew it was me.” He mumbled, a little too sadly. “Only I remembered.”

“Ah.” You gasped when you felt a cold drop of water fall onto your skin.

You extended the palm of your hand out, as if to catch the water droplets. Kou had gone silent.

“…It’s starting to rain,” Mitsuba spoke after a few more moments of silence.

“We can see that.” You answered sarcastically, making Mitsuba playfully roll his eyes at you.

“Yeah I know that.” He retorted, then adding “we should probably go inside.”

So you all made your way up the stairs to the nearest entrance. The walk was silent once again, until Mitsuba broke it.

“I..” Mitsuba cleared his throat to speak more coherently “..was bullied when I was in elementary school.”

He turned to look at you “That’s kind of how I met (Y/N), she was the first to actually step up for me.”

You shot him a warm smile, as you continued up the steps.

“They would say it’s because like I ‘look like a girl’ and cause I’m ‘cocky’. Stupid reasons like that.” He explained.

“Oh yeah..” Kou unintentionally agreed.

Mitsuba turned around and shot him a glare “Could you not agree, please?”

“Sorry.” Kou stuttered.

“Anyways,” Mitsuba continued “that’s why I wanted to make things work out in junior high. I’d take the hint,” he used hand gestures with his sleeve to express himself better “I’d be nice so no one would call me cocky. I’d be friendly,” he paused before laughing lightheartedly “but not pushy with everyone.”

“And this where is where it got me.” He sighed “A boring guy who just barely stands out from the background.”

“(Y/N) tried to tell me that if they couldn’t accept me for who I was, and only did as a background character. Then it wasn’t worth it. But..” Mitsuba paused.

“He didn’t listen to me. Everything went through one ear, and straight out through the other.” You explained with a disappointed sigh.

“Nobody bullied me,” Mitsuba continued on “but I couldn’t make any more friends than (Y/N) either.”

Kou went silent, actually he had been silent since the whole time Mitsuba had been rambling. He finally perked up.

“He’s cocky.” Kou stated, pointing an accusing finger at Mitsuba.

Mitsuba hummed in confusion, swiftly turning around to look at Kou.

“Looks like a girl” Kou added, pointing out another finger as if to count.

“Sarcastic,”

“Selfish,”

“Has an annoying voice,”

“Obsessed with his camera,”

“Goes ‘emo’ sometimes,”

“And is only fake nice.” Kou finished, by then he had about nine fingers laid out.

“What’s your deal?!” Mitsuba shouted defensively.

“If anybody asks me ‘What kind of guy was Mitsuba Sousuke?’ that’s what I’m gonna tell them.” Kou explained.

“What?” Mitsuba mumbled with a confused expression.

“I’m sorry..” Kou apologized, looking directly at Mitsuba “I didn’t realize it was you.”

“I just didn’t recognize you, because you were so different from we met in first year.” Kou explained. “And, you know..”

“I agree with what (Y/N) had told you, I don’t think you had to force anything. You just had to be yourself.” Kou lightly chuckled, looking over at you who smirked at Mitsuba with a look in your eyes that said ‘I told you so’.

Mitsuba laughed softly, shaking his head.

“I do think you’ve got a warped personality.” Kou added, before speaking again “but I don’t hate it.”

“..A lot of good that does me now.” Mitsuba muttered.

“Yeah.” Kou hummed in agreement.

The rain had somehow magically stopped, and the sky was clear again. Mitsuba stopped at a sort of small balcony in the middle of the stairs to take a picture of some birds that looked to be doves passing by.

“Kou, (Y/N).” Mitsuba called, stopping his photo-taking for a moment.

Kou hummed in response, to tell Mitsuba to continue talking. And you just mumbled a “Yeah?”

“If I were still alive,” Mitsuba began “do you think the three of us could have been friends?”

“Are we not your friends?” You asked heading over to wear Kou was walking to, not really knowing where else to go.

“Yeah, can’t we still be friends even if you’re dead?” Kou asked with a pout. He sighed.

You looked at Kou, and he did the same. Over time whenever you made eye contact you found yourself laughing, and that what happened.

Mitsuba smiled, feeling his cold heart warm for the first time since he died.

CLICK!

You and Kou stopped your giggling for a moment, a bit shocked by the flash from the camera’s lens.

You raised an eyebrow as if to say ‘what was that?’ but still smiled, “Oh?”

Kou smiled, turning around to look at Mitsuba “What’d you take a picture of?” he asked.

“The sky?” He thought.

“Who knows?” Mitsuba chuckled “Maybe somethings important to me?”

The grin you had made Mitsuba’s smile even wider, and but Kou was still confused.

��Huh?”

“It doesn’t matter, let’s just go!” Mitsuba laughed, already pushing Kou towards the door leading back into the school.

You shook your head with a smile, walking beside Mitsuba.

“You guys can help me develop them tomorrow!” He suggested.

“And then..” he mumbled, looking at you and then back at Kou “..then I think I’ll be okay.”

“…You think so?” Kou asked.

“Yeah.” Mitsuba agreed.

“Then we can pick this back up tomorrow?” You asked hopefully.

“I’ll be waiting at the school’s entrance.” Mitsuba hummed with a nod.

“Miitsubaa..” you heard a voice chirp from behind you, dragging the ‘i’ and ‘a’.

It didn’t sound cheerful, in fact. It frightened you. You’d never felt so afraid to hear a spirit’s voice, it sent shivered down your spine. You shuddered. All three of you froze in place, but the look on Mitsuba’s face said it all.

You should be scared.

“It bothers me when you do these things,” the voice continued “without my permission, too.”

You hesitated, but turned to look behind you.

The boy had almost the same appearance as Hanako, except he had a more traditional uniform on, and a different seal on his cheek. A black one with the same red letters. His orbs were different too, they gave you a eerie feeling when you looked over at them. But besides that, he had the same choppy hair, and the same amber eyes. They looked ambitious, but not the type of ambition that’s curious and innocent.

No, the ambition in HIS eyes terrified you.

By then, Kou and Mitsuba had turned around too. And Mitsuba, he looked petrified. You all stood there like a deer in headlights, not knowing what to do.

“It’s rude.”

Kou narrowed his eyes down at the guy, and you knew he was thinking the same thing as you.

“Hanako?” you both mentally thought.

But unfortunately for all three of you, it wasn’t.

“Trying to move on.. without telling me too.” He continued to muse, walking closer to Mitsuba, who tried to back away.

“That’s not nice.” The boy said, finally stepping in front of Mitsuba “We can’t be having that.”

And with that, he shoved his hand straight through Mitsuba’s chest. He let out a choked cry, and there was a squelching noise—the same sound you heard in that dream—you shook your head in disbelief, backing away from the view.

The guy then tore his hand back out, holding what looked to be a dim light. Mitsuba’s soul.

“Wh—“ Kou choked.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” Kou shouted angrily, attempting to attack the ghost from behind.

But the spirit didn’t do anything to to stop him. Instead, he grabbed Kou by his head, and slammed it straight into the wall. Kou winced as he slid down the wall, holding his head in his hand as if that would soothe the pain.

“Remember Mitsuba?” The ghost hummed, walking back over to said boy. “You asked me to grant you your wish!”

The ghost chuckled as it finally stopped right in-front of Mitsuba, “You said, ‘I want to stay in everyone’s memories.’”

He bent over, harshly pulling his head up by his silky pink hair “You just have two people and your happy with that?” The boy asked, his frown turning into a terrifying grin “No you’re not.”

“Are you, Mitsuba?”

“YOU BASTARD.” You practically shrieked, gritting your teeth as hard as you could to prevent yourself from sobbing.

“YOU FUCKING BASTARD!” You screamed, lunging at the spirit.

But just like with Kou, he was unfazed. His face void of any sympathy. His orbs swarmed around him, the force shoving you back, and you hit the wall with a loud cry that made Mitsuba’s heart ache. With a swift motion, his arm was behind Mitsuba’s back, he couldn’t move at all.

“I’m a supernatural.” The spirit hummed “For the right price, I will grant the wish of whoever summons me.”

“Amane grants the wishes of the living on the near-shore,” he explained “and I grant the wishes of the dead on the far-shore.”

“Mitsuba made a wish, and I answered.” He stated, looking at you who struggled to get up.

“And now I’m going to make his wish come true,” he said with such a smile that if you hadn’t known any better, would’ve seemed so innocent “and I’m going to do it my way.”

click.

There was a small snap-sound when the ghost flicked on some switch to a radio. Wait, a radio? What was going on(?), you thought.

“Okay Mitsuba,” the boy chirped “it’s time to grant your wish!”

“Sakura!” The ghost called in the direction of the speakers. “We’re all ready!”

There was a bit of static, before a monotonous voice spoke up.

It was a girl’s, you didn’t know who’s though, cause the voice wasn’t familiar to you.

“Have you heard this rumor?” The girl the ghost had called ‘Sakura’ asked.

“The bent-neck boy at the school entrance.”

Suddenly, Mitsuba’s eyes shot open, and there was an unsettling crack as his head snapped backwards.

“They say a ghost with a broken neck,” the girl continued “appears at the entrance of the middle school division.”

“He is a very lonely ghost.”

“So he might talk to you too. He’ll say ‘Hey..”

“Did you forget about me?” A voice that didn’t sound like Mitsuba’s asked, still the words pushed past his lips in a croak.

The voice sounded distorted, unpleasant.

“Mitsuba..” Kou whimpered, holding on tightly to his head.

“If you can’t tell him his name,” she started to explained “then.” She paused.

“He’ll break your neck to make you look like him.”

Then there were more voices. Other voices. They echoed. Bouncing on the walls and flooding into your ears.

“Did you hear? A friend of a friend told me..”

“Ew that’s disgusting!”

“Was it the middle school entrance?”

“Your neck!”

“He’ll break your neck?”

“That’s scaary”

“No,” Mitsuba whimpered, holding on tightly to his head out of frustration “no, no, no..”

“DISGUSTING.”

“LONELY GHOST.”

“BREAKS YOUR NECK?!”

“LOOK LIKE HIM?”

“SCARY.”

Mitsuba cried as he thrashed around violently.

“(Y/N)..” he wailed “Kou.”

The teary look in his eyes, the crack in his voice, the petrified look on his face.

It all made your blood boil.

How could anyone do that, to anyone really?

“There.” The ghost hummed in satisfaction.

“Now,” he smiled “no one will ever forget you.”

The way his lips twitched up into a smile, was twisted. It made your stomach churn and you felt the bile rising up from your stomach.

Mitsuba began to rise, but the the person—no. It wasn’t even a person. The thing that rose wasn’t Mitsuba. It was a large blob of this black liquid that felt like acid to your eyes the more you looked at it. It was covered head to toe in eyes, where his chest was—where his heart should’ve been was torn open. A rib cage was visible from that opening, and it was covered in bandages. It was made of many more parts, parts your couldn’t identify. Parts you didn’t want to identify.

The only part you could identify, was Mitsuba’s head slightly peeking out from the top of the monster.

His eyes were shut, and he looked almost lifeless as the only part of him you could see was limp.

“The school’s seven mysteries..” the ghost sighed walking towards where Kou was and where you were still trying to stay conscious. “Say they maintain correct relationships between humans and supernaturals.”

“But who needs that?” The ghost beamed, but his smile just made you shudder “Humans and supernaturals should just be however they want.”

“If that’s enough to break the world..” he trailed off.

“Then it’s better off broken.”

“Don’t you agree?” He asked with a hum.

You swore you saw red when you saw him touch Mitsuba, holding him like it was the most innocent thing in the world.

Holding his head in his hands as if he didn’t just grant his wish in a way he never wanted.

You felt your entire body shake with rage the more you looked at it. You stood up on legs you swore were made of jelly by the way the wobbled and threatened to give out on you.

“You’re..” you coughed violently “you’re one to talk!”

The ghost gave you a confused hum, an amused hum. A hum that scared you, but you continued on.

“All he wanted was someone to call he friend! Someone to tolerate his cocky personality and like him for who he was!” You say through choked out sobs.

“HE DIDN’T WANT EVERYONE TO FEAR HIM!”

Your shouting rattled Kou down to his bones with the way it scared him. It didn’t even sound like a shout, a yell, or even a scream.

No, it was a screech.

Hot tears threatened to spill from your tired (E/C) eyes, trembling with anger.

“Humans and super natural should just be however they want?” You scoffed “YOU DIDN’T EVEN LET HIM BE HOWEVER HE WANTED.”

“He was happy with what he had! Even if it was for a moment!” You cried, violently wiping the tears that began to spill out of your eyes and down your cheeks.

“You fucking asshole..” you whimpered.

“YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE HOW COULD YOU?!” You shrieked, throwing yourself at him, only for him to shove you right back with the force of his orbs.

And that, was when you blacked out.

Just in time, and luckily for Kou, Hanako had arrived.

.

.

There was silence when you blacked out, but then there were tons of laughter.

“Oh no.. poor sweet (Y/N)..” a voice whispered.

“It’s only just begun.”

“You’re not quite done yet.”

.

.

You shot up with a gasp, looking around frantically. Sighing when you saw it was just Hanako and Yashiro in the room.

“Ah..” Hanako mumbled. “You’re awake.”

“Are you okay?” Yashiro asked worriedly, pressing an ice pack against your head.

You winced at the ice cold feel, and Yashiro squeaked out a small ‘m sorry’.

You didn’t say anything though. You couldn’t, you didn’t know what to say.

Losing Mitsuba again was like losing the missing puzzle piece you’d been looking for and just when you think you’ve found it, you lost it again.

Tears began to well in your eyes and before you knew it, you were sobbing.

“I’m sorry Mitsuba, ‘m so sorry..” you cried.

Yashiro gave Hanako a pained look and he only responded with a sad smile.

“It wasn’t your fault kid.” Hanako sighed, sitting beside you.

“Yeah, it’ll be okay!” Yashiro tried assure me.

“No, no, no there should’ve been something I could���ve done! God— I-“ you wailed, wiping the tears harshly as they fell from your sunken eyes.

“No, (Y/N).” Hanako sighed “There’s nothing you could have done.”

“Once someone dies, that’s just the end.”

He sighed again when he saw you sob at the mention of death, knowing your friend died a second time just moments before.

“It’s over,” he continued. “You can become spirits and wander the near shore but that’s just it.”

“There’s no where else to go after that.” He whispered.

“We have no future.”

“No, no there must’ve been something I could’ve done!” You whimpered, but the more you cried, the more your head began to hurt.

Yashiro noticed this and sat on the other side of you, rubbing your back comfortingly as if it would help.

“Destruction was the only salvation for him, it’s better this way—trust me.” Hanako whispered after a few more moments of sitting in silence, the only sounds to fill the void were the sounds of your sobbing and hiccups.

“No there had to be some other way!” You screamed, Yashiro winced at how pained your voice sounded “It can’t end this way. I just had him. He was just here!”

“(Y/N)—“ Hanako tried to speak.

“BULL SHIT.” You shouted, slamming your fisted hands down hard onto your legs.

“BULL SHIT, BULL SHIT! ITS ALL A LOAD OF FUCKING CRAP!” You kept slamming your fists down onto your thighs repeatedly out of frustration, so much that Yashiro had to grab your hands and forcefully keep them from harming yourself any more than you already were.

“(Y/N),” Hanako whispered, making you turn to look at him through angry tears “there’s nothing you could’ve ever done to help him.”

“There’s no saving the dead.”

You broke out into hysterical sobs, shaking your head ‘no’ in disbelief.

There had to be some other way, there had to be some way to save him.

“Don’t leave me yet Mitsuba..” you cried, as if he would be able to somehow hear you from where he was.

“It’s too soon.”

(A/N) : I’m not feeling well right now, mostly mentally cause of some issue. So I thought of putting all that into here. Hope you liked it.

fav tbhk character??

SO!! I think you can predict that it's Mit2suba (and Sousuke/M1tsuba) , but respond it in that way is boring... I have to explain why,, in details,,, like the neurodivergent bitch I am ໒( ●ܫฺ ●)ʋ

Personally, most of what attracts me to him is the huge kin I have in this lil bud. as they say, an apple doesn't fall far from its tree.

But that's not the only reason why Mitsuba/Sousuke is my favorite character (of all time) the character is so well written that it hurts, I think he is one of the few best developed characters in tbhk, always with the MINIMUM details, even if you can barely see it (for example the big scar he has on the back of his neck, given by the form in which he died).

I MEAN. EVEN THE NAMES. THE DETAIL THAT M1TSUBA WAS SOUSUKE AND MIT2SUBA IS MITSUBA. IM GOING INSANE WITH THIS MANGA.

The "hostility" presented, just to not demonstrate how fragile he is; his great desire to have friends/be remembered but not being able to do this due to his problem of not being able to demonstrate his real desires... but if you really try to understand the character, you'll see that he is just a boy who doesn't know what he's doing with the life he's been given, and just wants to try to make the most of it in the best possible way, being himself without any mask to please people (kind of like Sousuke did when he was alive); being completely socially awkward because of the bullying he suffered...

Mitsuba is arrogant, foul-mouthed, and very confident in himself, especially his appearance, and often brags about how cute he is. He has a tendency to call people rude nicknames and is not afraid to insult, also showing himself to cry quickly, especially in threatening situations... he just wants to protect himself

Despite being this rude and noisy, Mitsuba also has a calmer side. He becomes visibly discouraged when talking about his past, feels alone easily, and although he seems to have difficulty being honest (choosing to use harsh words), he is sometimes able to genuinely express happiness and kindness.

And I think his personality actually just keeps things so good to read, I don't know why have people who hate him.

He's simply too good a character to be forgotten, don't you think?

His story is almost one of overcoming, let's agree for love's sake.

Being Sousuke or Mitsuba, they both went through A LOT of difficulty.

He died after being run over on his mother's birthday while going to buy FUCKING POTATOES; he died being turned into a donut by a 13 year old being WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO BE SINCERE WITH HIS FEELINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AN ETERNITY; he died by Hanako after attacking Kou; Was recreated and disappeared due to the Severance, becoming FUCKING DORITOS; he died disappearing again in the aquarium date; AND HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO DIE NOW AGAIN BECAUSE OF NATSUHIKO.

WHY KILL AND REVIVE HIM SO MUCH??

WHAT IDA AND IRO HAVE IN MIND? going crazy/gen

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT HOW TSUKASA TREATED HIM ON HELL OF MIRRORS.

Not to mention the nightmare that was his life while he was alive.

"I tried talking to... every person I thought was my friend... But none of them knew it was me. ...Only I... remembered."

Imagine not having friends and being bullied for being the way you are, so you get all your shit together and try to be nice to people just so to you return from your miserable death and no one remember you? damn Sousuke.

Having the friendship that Mitsuba has with Kou knowing that he only sees him as his friend who no longer exists (Sousuke) is something that must haunt him, considering all the trauma he has about it in his memories, kind of distancing him from the only real friend he has now. (ofc that changes with time but ouch)

And when he died? was not remembered by those he considered friends.

That hurts.

AidaIro rescued Mitsuba in a way that many didn't even imagine possible. By transforming a simple spirit that wandered in an attempt to resolve its pending issues into one of Kamome Academy's Seven School Mysteries. It showed that even an apparently small character can stand out when used correctly. Mitsuba remains an arrogant, cocky, good-hearted boy who loves his camera. In a new background, the character gains new possibilities, not being completely tied to old events, giving Mitsuba an opportunity to not just be another tool of Yugi Tsukasa or an old friend of Minamoto Kou.

He's crazy, he's silly, he's effeminate, he's a gay boy in denial, he's cocky, he has a very strong personality, he has a lot of trauma, he causes me a lot of problems because he's my top kin who wins 1st place by a landslide, but he It's my favorite.

I also have other favorites in toilet bound hanako-kun, but no one can hold a candle to him. I love him so much and I just want him to be happy oml (ﾐዋ ﻌ ዋﾐ)ﾉ

phases of Tsukasa’s wish-granting

Tsukasa's wish-granting works in phases. He progressively provides solutions, and each solution begets a deeper, needier wish, which is more and more intense and desperate, following the increase in self-understanding of the supernatural. Tsukasa is very patient getting others through the rungs of these wishes.

We see the gradual formation of desire in Mitsuba, and Hanako, most distinctly, but we also see it in Yashiro. As we know, supernaturals are quick to accept their circumstances, and by nature, very humble in their desires, overly willing to compromise.

"there's no way his wish will come true, so he gave up on reaching for it. He settled for a fake solution he could achieve. He told himself it was fine. That it was all he could have. But what he really wanted... was something else. That's supernaturals for you. It's like they're weirdly understanding when it comes to that stuff. They give up so easily." -kou

Tsukasa cannot offer people extreme, luxurious, grandiose lives, before they imagine, and desire them, for themselves. Tsukasa must work with what the heart tells him it wants. He is there to provide solutions for problems at the scale the supernatural is thinking at, AND the scale to which the supernatural has an equitable offering in exchange.

more behind the cut

  The phases of Mitsuba's wishes, are:

"I don't know what I'd do on the near shore. But I don't want it to end like this. I want to stay in everyone's memories." -Mitsuba

As a vague wish, with very little to offer, Tsukasa could only grant this wish in a cursory manner-- there is simply no better outcome applicable. However, it places Mitsuba into a position to interact with Kou, who draws out further dreams from Mitsuba. Mitsuba can now fathom things beyond merely existing in memories-- he can fathom friendship, and processes his own loneliness. Something he struggled to process even when alive.

  Hanako's own thesis would oppose Mitsuba even making friends as a spirit, as he did not have that satisfaction in his living life:

"Once you've died, it's over. There's nothing after that. You can't go anywhere from there. It doesn't matter how deep your regrets are, or how much you wish things were different. If you couldn't do something in life... you can't do it after you're dead."

Even Kou opposes this dreary dismal outlook, obviously. Teru, however, agrees with it:

You want to know where you belong? You're a supernatural. You belong in the world of the dead. The very idea of you looking for a home in the world of the living... is wholly unnatural. [...] There is no place for you in this world. Understand?"

Mitsuba's new wish, after meeting Kou, is a self-advancement. Tsukasa is excited for this uncovering of his desires. Regardless of what Kou shallowly believes... it is Tsukasa who perceives the heart itself crying out.

"I want friends. I want to stay with my friends....forever and ever."

However, Mitsuba still has very few assets to offer to Tsukasa in the exchange for the wish, and is removed of his mind/reason. Hanako gives us his speech that destruction is the only end for a supernatural suchas Mitsuba, and Kou opposes this. Tsukasa also opposes this.

Tsukasa, repairing Mitsuba, says,

"I hope your wish comes true this time."

I believe him. I don't think he is being pointlessly sadistic. Tsukasa then gifts Mitsuba with more assets-- power, and a seat as a mystery.

"I.... I'm not ready... to disappear... I don't want to disappear when I still have nothing. If that's the only other option.... then I'll be a school mystery! I'll be anything!!"

Tsukasa has enabled Mitsuba to reach a state where he has more flexibility, more to offer, more power, more agency in the world, and more stability than an apparition. He is in a better position to percolate further desires, now.

"I want to be a normal human...."

Another very humble, and feeble, desire, but worlds apart from Mitsuba's original even weaker desire.

"I'm a fake Sousuke Mitsuba. but let's just say I'm the real one! you couldn't save him before, but now you're in a happy world where 'Mitsuba' is alive! isn't that good enough? [...] If we make me the real one... then it'll be like the other mitsuba never died!"

The compromise phase itself is now extremely grandiose, in its own way, in contrast. Meanwhile, this wish is uttered aloud by Mitsuba, but not honored by Tsukasa (if Tsukasa was exploitative and nefarious, don’t you suppose he would take advantage of this being said aloud, like some sort of genie?):

"When I'm in that world, I get so jealous... I start asking why I have to be like this. I wish everybody could just like me. I wish they could all just die."

likely because it isn't fully-formed yet, and isn’t a desire from the heart... just a resentful thought.

Hanako is also being put through 'phases' of his desires-- Tsukasa meets him at a possible solution based on his cursory, feeble, low-aspiration self, in Picture Perfect. Hanako is not capable of envisioning a beautiful, idealized, or fantastical future with Yashiro. His self-hatred and self-defeatism is too deep. His thesis is still that supernaturals cannot have that which they did not have in life. His only desire is, at first, to simply keep her alive-- and only congealing that is painful, agonizing, as it goes against his own belief in the system's unchangable and fixed nature. Wanting something unnatural to occur, wanting to exploit a loophole, even things he morally opposes-- as Shijima-san says:

"a world like this, where everything goes just the way you want it to... is the kind of thing 7-sama hates more than anything. Normally, he would want to destroy it as soon as he knew about it."

Even this much, is a great effort for Hanako to submit to wanting. He does not want to be the sort of person to accept a thing like this, but he is so desperate to see Yashiro live. Yashiro challenges him on this paltry solution not really being what he wants-- she forces him to truly tell her that he wants to trap her. Hanako, hearing that, finally snaps out of his compromising nature-- a nature already at complete war with this compromise-- 

"I don't want to trap you. How could you think that...? Then you'd be just like me. You'd have no future. I only exist as payment for my crime."

The next step of Hanako's own wish, is a desire to take control over Yashiro's lifespan, and be the one to single-handedly breathe new life into her, to create a permanent influence. He still does not dream of being with her himself, as he conceptualizes this. It is yet another compromise.

"I'm dead... and a murderer. I can't grow up with you, nor can I stay by your side for long either. But if even someone like me is able to make you happy, then there's a meaning to our meeting. I wanted you to live a life bestowed by my own hand, and not the kid or anyone else."

This step actually happens before the next step, in the manga itself. This thought is well and congealed first, in Hanako's mind, as he works towards the Aoi solution, immediately following Picture Perfect (it’s what he’s thinking about as he sends Yashiro out of that world).

Finally, during the Severance, As Yashiro proves she would accept Hanako even as he exchanges her best friend's life for hers, even as he admits to atrocities.... he finally congeals the next, and ultimately fantastical, final desire--

"... If only... things could have stayed that way forever. No, that's not right. I wish... I could have lived a real life with you too, Yashiro."

Yashiro is going through her own cycle, as well, even though Tsukasa cannot directly grant a wish for her, as she is alive. Instead, she is cycling through these phases with Hanako, in their own way, as orchestrated by Tsukasa, who is leading them through the hoops of events under his watchful eye.

  First, she wishes for a romantic relationship with Minamoto Teru

"I want my crush to fall in love with me immediately! [...] Minamoto-senpai. He's a second-year!"

As this possibility begins to come to its possible conclusion, she realizes it is not what she desires.

"I would have taken anyone if I could be part of a couple. That was my real wish..."

Unfortunately, we derail briefly by the humble, simple dream to continue living, for a vague concept of the future... much like we do with Mitsuba.

"I have plans to plant some new summer vegetables next year! When I'm done studying for entrance exams, I'm going to make my debut as a stunning college coed! I want to see what it's like to get a drink at a sophisticated restaurant! And some day I'm going to wear a pure white wedding dress!! I don't want to stay here forever! I want to live a real life!"

As Hanako sees to this far too vague wish, we once again re-define the actual parameters of desire, only when it is nearly achieved:

"That's not what I meant when I made that wish! The world... I wanted to live in... wasn't supposed to be any different from before. You, Aoi, and everyone would still be here. That's what I really wanted..."

The vagueness of her wish hurts her. Much like Tsukasa granting Mitsuba's vague wish, lead to a undesirable future for him, for a moment. Wishes are granted on technicalities despite them obviously not being ‘what the person wants’, by both Tsukasa and Hanako.

"I don't want you to grant that wish anymore..."

As Yashiro re-assesses her possibilities, it's narrowed down further. Finally, she wishes to simply stay with Hanako-kun, forever. She loses the concepts of college, marriage, a real life, a future, all her friends, her family. It has been distilled to a desire to stay with Hanako.

"No more extending my lifespan by force! Let Aoi return to the living world, and I'll stay here."

Much like a supernatural, she is compromising. But at this point, she's also much closer to a raw truth. No longer obfuscating her desires surrounding Hanako.. her wish to stay with him, above all else. It supersedes her wish to stay alive-- no longer is that the goal! We actually move closer to the original desire, to be in a relationship, now with a specific person.

......meanwhile, Sakura's wish we are beginning with, is,

"[...] to finally be able to go outside."

Tsukasa is already considering, closely, the possibility for her desires to evolve, as they near to their culmination. He stokes her, excitedly,

"Maybe you're thinking that you were better off... not having made a wish that ended up hurting people. Do you regret it?"

I don't think Tsukasa is setting-up to be disappointed, nor punish Sakura, if she recedes on their plan, or expresses regret. I think he is anticipating in her desires shifting and crystallizing, as she experiences all the stages of bringing her wish together. 

  Tsukasa is intrigued by desire. He believes everyone should have whatever they want.

Tsukasa's most potent memory, and perhaps the core of his being, is an understanding of the changing of a wish.... the unveiling of unspoken value not claimed in the original wish.

  Amane's wish Tsukasa first granted, was,

"Tsukasa is lucky. You're always healthy... if you run lots, you're okay. You can go anywhere you want to. But I...I can't take it anymore! If I could be healthy like you.. I wouldn't want anything else...!"

  As he enables this to come to pass, expecting the simple resolution of Amane grasping the future, doing all the things he declared he wanted to do so badly, from running to traveling to flying.... Tsukasa is shocked to learn from Kou, that Amane did not go on to live a happy life. Paradoxically, Amane only lives to the age of 13, killing himself after killing his little brother.

"After I went through all that trouble to grant his wish... he went ahead and messed it up all on his own! Amane's so weird!"

Tsukasa doesn't expect anybody's first-occurrant wish to be the end of their desires. He seems to expect them to start there, but is prepared for them to go anywhere, and to provide for the next stage of desire, which grows more intense and pointed, the more honed it has become, dissatisfied over and over with the current outcome. Tsukasa is attentive to those he grants wishes to. He is not disappointed in them for wanting more than they originally asked for. He wants that outcome!

Small tidbit note for: Shijima-san also works in such a way, where her original wish-- to kill her living self before she can complete the painting which will create their rumor, and sully her reputation-- is not what she really wanted, nor is it what really comes to pass.

Tsukasa does not monitor people to ensure that they follow through on the original desire of their wish. He does not hold people to their original intentions.

Shijima-san enters that space of the past, with the only intent to kill herself, but instead winds up finding catharsis, acceptance, validated and cherished in her existence by the person she dreams only of protecting (herself). Shijima-san acquired a kind of peace as a result of her wish. Yashiro’s presence, granted by Tsukasa, was also essential to achieving that outcome.

My overall conclusion here is this: Tsukasa’s wish-granting is deceptively nefarious, but as of yet, there is no situation wherein the result/outcome was not actually creeping that person slowly towards their true heart’s desire. As people are often humble and miserable, they are not always capable or able to form an ideal future, which Tsukasa does not have the ability to simply produce out of thin air. Every character is crawling towards a kind of self-worth that enables a greedier wish for a more fulfilling life.

This entire series itself, it appears, has been Tsukasa gradually orchestrating the rumors, all events, to stoke Hanako to destroy the Yorishiro, for the purpose of ultimately granting Hanako-- Amane-- Tsukasa’s most precious person who he originally died for the happiness of-- a great, big, incredible wish.

Mitsuba x gn reader

So it's like mitsuba has a crush on y/n and dies? Okay!

And holy moly, I forget I have a request I'm sorry!!!

Well I guess I can make this a normal one, not the yandere one

"Y/n, can you pose for a moment?" Y/n turn to mitsuba

"Sure!"*click!* "let me see it!"

......

..........

That was the last time you talked to him, who had thought that he would die in an accident. You came to his home that day. They didn't let you see mitsuba's body, and you can understand why the way he died is very gruesome. Even if you want to see him it's not like you can.

"I'm sorry, mitsuba-Kun. I hope one day we'll meet again"

Most people look at you with sad eyes, you hold back your tears from falling. After that, you leave and go back to your house, right after you get to bed you let your tears fall. Your heart hurts so much you don't know what to do, mitsuba died and you miss him so much!

The next day you go back to his house. You were invited to his house, mitsuba's mom knows how close you two are so she decides to let you go to his room and...well, suit yourself. When you get to his house you can see her tears ' She must have cried all night' you thought. you greet her and go to mitsuba's room. When you get into the room...you feel like you want to cry again.

"mitsuba-Kun..."

Tears falling again, you hurriedly wipe them out. Mitsuba doesn't like it whenever you cry! You then walk towards his desk, there are a lot of books on it but there's one that catches your eye. "diary..." you read it out loud. But is it okay? To take your dead friend's dairy? Isn't it bad? Unfortunately, curiosity got the best of you. You take and read it

Day 1

I and y/n go to their cafe after school! The way they eat...and the way they walk are sooooooo cute~!

You giggle. Mitsubas has always liked cute things, but the way I walk? What's so cute about that? It's not like you walk with your hands up whenever you take a step.

Day 2

I got bullied today, but you came and saved me! They're so cool, I wonder if I can become cool like them one day...

"one day..." you said, "you...you already become a cool guy mitsuba..." and just like before tears were already falling from your eyes. "I'm sorry, I fail to save you...this time"

Day 3

Y/n and I got partnered up together! I'm so happy! But something feels wrong, I don't know what it is...

"Mm Hm?" Is something wrong? What is it? But it's too late. It's not like mitsuba can tell them what it is. He's dead. Y/n look at another page.

Day 4

They say it's love, but is it? I...I don't know, well even if it's the love I won't tell y/n anyway. There's no way they'll like me

"......."

Day 4

So... I fell for y/n huh? I guess that makes sense. After making sure I truly love them, I'll go and confess to them! After this winter and after school opens! But right now I want to go buy some chocolate and groceries! I can't wait I hope y/n will like the chocolates.

So that's how it is, mitsuba loves you and wants to go and buy chocolate for you but unfortunately, he ended up getting into an accident. You look at the diary again and look at another page. The rest of the diary was just filled with your picture pose and mitsuba's face. There's also a bird, flower, and all bunch of other things he takes a pic with.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry mitsuba..."

You spoke softly, "the truth is...I do love you too" you were planning to confess to him next year valentine. Had you known sooner you would have just confessed to him immediately.

[at school]

"Hey! Didn't you know? There's a rumor that said. There's a ghost that can grant you wishes!"

.....

.......

..........

After school, you go to the girl's toilet. "they said to knock 3 times...but will it work?" 'since I'm here I guess I could try

*knock*

*knock

*knock*

"Hanako-Kun, are you there?"

Silence ....

"huh...I know this is going to happen, well I guess I can go-"

*krick~~~~~*

"eh-eh!?"

From the door behind y/n can see a hand, and then the person goes out. "wha-!" Before you can say anything, it seems like the rumor was true. "yeah! It's me!" you stood there you were too scared, and now what? Oh yea, you need to make a wish right?

"Hanako-san..., um...can you grant my wish?"

He look at

"well that's what I'm here for!"

You look at the floor.

"I...I want to go meet mitsuba,"

"mitsuba-Kun was my friend, and...um...well... He- he died. I want to meet him again"

You can feel his eyes on you, but there's also a pity in those. You're a person who has just lost their friend, and now is trying to meet them again.

"you want to meet the dead. Do you want to know the price?"

Hanako asks, you look at him. "I do..." the rumor said, even though he can grant you, your wishes. In return, he'll take something precious to you as payment.

"meeting the dead. And do you want to live with him forever?" he asked. You fell into silence, "I do...but I also want him to be able to be with me in this school and be together with him at my home. Like how he used to live"

"that would mean you want me to revive him,"

"that is impossible, I am a ghost but reviving someone already dead is forbidden. But, I can grant your wish to be with him."

He goes closer to you, "you want to be with him and see him, but you also don't want to die right? Then sure." "I'll grant your wish"

You don't say anything after.

"mitsuba-kun...can I still be with him?"

Hanako looked at the outside of the window

"yes, but in return, I'll take half of your lifespan. The more you are with him, the faster you die"

You nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"yes"

*click!*

Everything goes to black.

"y/n-san y/n-san!"

You open your eyes and...mitsuba! "mitsuba!" you woke up and looked at him. "haha! What's wrong?" tears falling from your eyes. "i-i thought that you died!" mitsuba does not reply. And then it hits you "y-you..." "you did die?" mitsuba nodded. "I was a ghost for a couple of days. And I know you read my diary! Stupid y/n is so rude. Reading a dead person's diary," you only laughed.

"so...is it true you like me too?" you hug mitsuba "yes I do..." you stop before you continue "in fact, I like you a lot too~" mitsuba then kiss you on your forehead. "y/n...you know what's going to happen right? You're going to died."

"that's fine, I'm with you after all"

"really?"

"yes mitsuba-Kun, I'm not going to leave you again. Let's be together forever"

You both hug each other and embrace the warm feeling you both have. Perhaps to others, this might look foolish, but you want this so...who cares? Perhaps one day, you two will be able to date each other normally.
