Ace (and Leo)’s PriZoom Birthday Party!! 4/4/2021

(Yes it took way too long before someone coined PriZoom... But)

That was.............. 

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Comments on Tatsuyuki Kobayashi’s live appearance at the end

Not to say this showing wasn’t without occasional feedback/unnecessary noise from people who should have been muted, but still, it went a LOT smoother this time. There were only about 170 people but there were supposedly two different rooms (text only and regular cheering) so I don’t know if that was the actual grand total. I did regular cheering of course. I don’t have that much to say in SSS but I like to be a part of the madness. People were really chatty and relaxed this time too! Making shoutouts to the cosplayers and such. Lots of familiar faces from the previous stream!

The staff has even started doing this little thing at the end where they showcase a bunch of different cameras. They didn’t pick mine, thoughhhhh. Actually the only time I was on the main screen was at the very end of the movie. (I think perhaps they have realized they have been inexplicably infiltrated by a gaijin and don’t know how to handle it, as is the Japanese way.) It was the perfect time to realize I... COMPLETELY FORGOT THE 366 LOVE DIARY DANCE FFFFFFNOOOOOOOOO--I have to practice before the next one. It hadn’t occurred to me that we would actually get 366 Love Diary.

So they have mentioned these showings would be the theater edit, and going into it I was really curious like... would it really be the theater edit? Like the completely original version with 366 Love Diary and everything? Or did they just splice the DVD into the theater cut? But I think it really WAS the theatrical version. I won’t know unless I see Part 3 or Part 4 though, because those had some pretty significant differences between the theatrical version and the TV version. (A really noticeable animation error with Leo’s hair in Part 3, Shin’s got a different phone background in Part 4, etc...) Nnnrrrgh I don’t really want to see Part 4 but I might have to... NOT today though. I made the difficult decision to only do Part 2 today. (I miss disposable income....) But hopefully I can do Part 1 in May for Taiga and Part 3 in June for Alexander?

I’ve always considered Part 1 and Part 3 to be my favorites, so I always forget how much I do like Part 2: BABY KAKERU, Joji dragging the Shuffle on his date, JOJI! HAIR!!!!, ACE, Orange Flamingo, Joker Kiss, sssAAAILInGGGGGGGGGGG... (even on ZOOM I got the full body goosebumps when Minato looked up). 

Some notable stuff:

People yelling in Okayama-ben during the Joji flashback (そうじゃ、そうじゃ！instead of そうだ、そうだ！etc) I was DYINGGGG

When Ace’s mic is cut: “Is there a problem with Zoom??” “TAKE JOJI OFF MUTE!!”

Several people prepared fish for particular scenes in episode 4 and 6.

I think my favorite feed was the person who aimed their camera back at the screen with their Torachi and Dorachi plushies watching.

Or maybe just the person who had up the background of the Ikebukuro Train Station the whole time (PPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT)

Someone had up the ferris wheel in Shizuoka where the Kouji scene takes place too though!! AAAAHAAAAA!!! (Going there is seriously one of my favorite King of Prism memories of all time.)

Additional shoutouts to:

The Hiro cosplayer who was eating curry during episode 6.

The girl in the orange happi with “From the cradle to the grave” actually framed on her wall (possibly in real calligraphy!?)

The Tsubasa fangirl (!!??!) who held up a Tsubasa fan whenever she was on screen

The person with the Ace plushie (!!). I didn’t know they existed. He had his hat from the Joker Kiss performance too. 

There was at least one Leo cosplayer but there were SEVERAL Ace cosplayers. Like WOW. Also shoutout to the person who cosplayed as an actual Ace of Hearts card omg I love this fandom so much. 

But really though there was SO. MUCH. ACE. LOVE in this showing. So many Ace backgrounds/homemade Ace cheering goods, etc. I know this was specifically the Ace birthday showing but still. Considering Ace isn’t exactly a main character I think this was pretty huge. 

And now onto what you were possibly all waiting for, the Tatsuyuki Kobayashi greeting! This was basically almost exactly what it felt like to go to a theater greeting show in Japan, just on Zoom. I used to always talk about trying to see the voice actors at smaller events to try and get them to notice me and this was... basically THAT. Almost better in a way!? Because he could see all of us equally? Read all of our comments on the screen!!! Of course I had no idea what to say when presented with this opportunity....... GAHHH HE’S SO FREAKIN CUTE 

We started off by singing Happy Birthday to Ace and Leo (actually just him because we were on mute!), and then we all blew out the candles on a cake together. He mentioned him and the staff would eat the cake later haha. 

He then started to talk about his experience playing Ace. He mentioned that when he first sang Love Mix for Pride the Hero, his character didn’t even have a name yet. He was simply the ghost singer.  And when he came out and made that surprise performance at the MRS concert he was so nervous he barely remembered it!! But when he got to perform again as Ace at the SSS live in Feb 2020, now that Ace had come into his own, he was much more confident and it was very meaningful to him. 

This really resonated with me. I’ve actually seen Tatsuyuki Kobayashi in concert a total of three times. The first time was at MRS during that surprise performance. It was an amazing surprise, but at that time I only saw him as Joji even though I knew he wasn’t. (And I wasn’t even all that attached to Joji back then because he was such a minor character at the time.) The second time I saw him was as Asahi at a Pretty Series show, where I was waaaaaay at the back and didn’t really get to see him that well, so I didn’t really get a proper chance to appreciate his performance. But when I saw him as Ace at the SSS live... THAT was when I fell in love with him (and HOW). Because really, he did just seem SO CONFIDENT and like he was enjoying it so much and finally seeing him perform as Ace for real was really meaningful. 

Sorry for the tangent, but yeah. He talked about how moved he was by how many of us had come to cheer on Ace today with backgrounds, props, cosplay, etc. And he credited all of us cheering him on for him making it this far, for finally becoming the leader of the Shuffle! AWWWWWWRGH! I’m SO HAPPY for him AHH he deserves everything and moreeeeeeeee this was so nice

House Isekai: Shadowbringers Act 2, Part 1 - Withering Flower (Continued)

House Isekai Shadowbringers AU Masterlist Here

—

(Continuing from Part 1′s Intermission)

----

[A Promise - Fire Emblem Three Houses OST]

Byleth reached for his head and massaged it with the chaos that was erupting.

(Towa) “I-Instructor Sara, I think it’s a bit too early to start drinking!”

(Sara) “Bah, when you grow older sweetie, anytime is a good time for drinking! Besides, we’re celebrating and having fun tomorrow, so we can afford to loosen up tonight!”

(Sharon) “Shall I fetch more ale?”

(Byleth) “No do NOT do that, Sharon.”

It was the night before the ball was to take place.

House Isekai had voted Akira to be the one to represent them in the contest, and were no doubt training for that.

After the faculty meeting, the staff of House Isekai took to their classroom to discuss what they were going to do, which led to...this situation.

(Megumi) “Well, I guess she’s not wrong about that at least. It has been a while since we were able to relax, right?”

(Cocytus) “INDEED. THESE PAST FEW MONTHS HAVE BEEN QUITE TROUBLING FOR US AND THE STUDENTS.”

(Angelica) “Sorta makes you wonder what it’s going to be like after this one...”

Doomguy said nothing but shared the same sentiment by the way he crossed his arms.

(Sara) “Oh come on, what’s with the doom and gloom? Didn’t we JUST say we needed to be relaxing?”

Sara turned to the door.

(Sara) “And it’s pretty rude for you kids to be eavesdropping on us adults!”

Some scuttling was heard outside but then the rest of House Isekai poured into the room.

(Rean) “S-Sorry! We just um...didn’t really know when to come in.”

(Ainz) “And I am sure that some of us are older than you Sara.”

(Minato) “Hey, let’s not forget what we came in here for before we start throwing shit at her.”

(Kazuma) “Yuki, wanna do the honors?”

(Yuki) “Yup!”

Yuki ran up to Byleth and said her piece.

(Yuki) “Byleth-sensei, I overheard from the other Houses that they were planning to meet up again in five years from now for the Millennium Festival! So...I was wondering if we all could do the same!”

(Byleth) “Five years from now...Are you all still going to be around in five years?”

(Yu) “We’ve put some thought into it ourselves, but honestly? Even if we did find a way home before hand, I’m sure we’ll find a way back here to visit.”

(Ainz) “Gods above know that we aren’t done with this place by a long shot...”

(Yuuri) “I guess the real question is Byleth-sensei going to be still teaching?”

Everyone turned to him.

(Rean) “Hah, little hard to imagine Instructor Byleth teaching anyone other than us honestly.”

(Minako) “I wouldn’t feel special anymore, like...he has normal people to teach instead of us!”

Everyone laughed at that.

(Angelica) “Yeah, I guess we are a little abnormal for his standards, aren’t we?”

(Byleth) “But it wouldn’t be the same without you. Sharon scaring the heck out of everyone, Towa being our council president, hearing the bickering between you all and the other students.

Byleth closed his eyes and smiled.

(Byleth) “It’s going to be quiet without you all...That doesn’t sound too bad actually.”

Sharon giggled before clearing her throat.

(Sharon) “Regardless Master Byleth, I think we are all in agreement that we would not want to miss our class reunion for anything.”

Doomguy gestured towards Akira, and it took a moment for everyone to realize what he meant.

(Yuki) “Oh, Slayer are you asking about the ball tomorrow?”

Doomguy nodded.

(Sara) “Ohh that’s right. Have you kids gotten a dance partner tomorrow? If you can’t find someone I suppose I can take pity and-”

(Everyone) “Pass.”

Sara almost choked on her drink as the staff began to laugh.

(Angelica) “Dang, even Sylvain and I haven’t gotten rejected THAT fast before, Instructor!”

(Kazuma) “You’re gonna be too drunk to dance anyway! This is a fancy ball not some dance club!”

(Megumi) “Hah, well I suppose we’ll all find out tomorrow won’t we? That reminds me, Byleth have you ever danced before?”

(Byleth) “...Megumi, do I look like I have?”

(Yuki) “Oh, Megu-nee! You should dance with Byleth!”

Thanks to Yuki’s statement, House Isekai erupted into a shouting match of who was dancing with who, which was eventually joined by all the classmates instead of the House reps.

Though he was getting a headache, Byleth smiled.

He couldn’t have asked for a better House to teach...

...

...

...

Year 1, Ruins in Faerghus territory, nearing the border of the Adrestian Empire…

Byleth blinked rapidly for a few seconds, bringing him back to reality. He had been standing out in the open, staring at Sara’s pistol in his hand.

He sheathed it and shook his head.

If he continued to do that, he would get himself killed. He can’t go thinking of the past out in the open...

Byleth walked alone through the streets of this small town. He didn’t know what it was called.

All he knew was that it was destroyed in the last massive battle that took place here.

Imperial and Kingdom soldiers lay dead as he passed them by, not bothering to check if anyone’s breathing.

He stopped walking after a minute and reached for the Sword of the Creator.

Byleth activated the whip function of his sword before a voice spoke up.

(Man’s Voice) “I’m not here to attack you, if that’s what you’re thinking.”

Byleth slowly turned around and saw a man dressed in black, leaning against a wall.

It was nighttime and the area was almost pitch black, but Byleth could tell immediately what he was.

(Byleth) “Give me one reason I shouldn’t cut off your head right now, Agarthan.”

(???) “I can give you two, actually. One: Because I’m the first to actually talk to you instead of attacking, unlike the rest of the idiots who tried doing that. I doubt anyone who knew the reputation of the Ashen Demon would even come within a 100 mile radius of you.”

(Byleth) “And two?”

(???) “I can give you the power you seek to destroy the Church. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all.”

(Byleth) “…Just who are you?”

The man stepped forward and the light revealed that he was wearing a mask that covered his face.

(???) “You may call me…Lahabrea.”

(Byleth) “Lahabrea? Doesn’t sound like any other Agarthan name I’ve heard.”

(Lahabrea) “That’s because it isn’t. I refuse to associate myself with them more than I have to.”

(Byleth) “...So what exactly is this power you can give me to destroy Rhea and Edelgard?”

Lahabrea held up a finger.

(Lahabrea) “Just the Church.”

(Byleth) “Right. I forgot you were allied with the Empire.”

Byleth turned around and kept walking.

(Lahabrea) “They are...Well not for long anyway. We have you for that.”

Byleth didn’t respond as Lahabrea kept talking, slowly walking behind him.

(Lahabrea) “...Is that Sara’s pistol you have there?”

Byleth finally stopped.

(Byleth) “...How do you know it’s hers?”

(Lahabrea) “Hm? I thought it fairly obviou-”

(Byleth) “The Agarthans have been focusing their attention on the bigger threats like Valimar or Slayer. And plenty of my students own these weapons, and none of you ever cared enough to know anyone of our House by name, nor has Edelgard spoken much with Sara to know what her pistol looked like and report that to you.”

Byleth turned to face Lahabrea.

(Byleth) “How do you know it’s hers?”

(Lahabrea) “...Let us say for now that I know your friends a bit more than most.”

(Byleth) “...”

(Lahabrea) “It is getting terribly late, is it not? I recommend getting some sleep soon.”

With that, Lahabrea teleported away. Byleth didn’t sense anyone else, and if he would have attacked he would have done so by now.

Byleth sighed and looked at a nearby building with a roof still over it and went inside...

...

An explosion caused Byleth to wake up violently, eyes going wide instantly accompanied with heavy breathing.

After a few moments of silence, he slumped back and sighed.

A distant explosion brightened the dark skies as he got out of a ruined building, stretching.

He stared with indifference to the battle happening far below him.

Imperial and Faerghus soldiers clashed into each other, trying to gain this territory for the war effort.

Byleth would be long gone by the time this battle would end.

He passed by a man dressed in black who was leaning against the door.

(Lahabrea) “Finally awake, I see. And where are we going?”

Byleth walked silently past Lahabrea, holding tightly onto Sara’s pistol as he did.

Byleth did his best to try and push that memory away, but it would always come back to him. The battle of Garreg Mach had only been a month ago, so it’d make sense that they were still fresh in his head.

That fact didn’t make it any more comforting to him.

As he felt rain start to drop onto him, he thought about his plan on how to kill Edelgard and Rhea.

He was one man with a sword against 2 armies that controlled entire parts of Fodlan.

When the rain intensified, he put his jacket over his head and continued.

He heard footsteps behind him splashing in the rain but he refused to let his thoughts break off.

Even with his divine pulse, he would be severely out manned. Without help, he would die before he reached his goal.

(Lahabrea) “You’re headed the wrong way, you know-”

(Byleth) “Why are you following me?”

(Lahabrea) “I’d be lying to you, and you’d be an idiot for believing me if I said I was helping you for completely altruistic reasons. We both want to take Seiros down, but you need to focus hatred to the right people. We need Edelgard alive.”

That made Byleth stop in his tracks completely.

(Byleth) “…What?”

(Lahabrea) “Stop to think about it. Does Edelgard seem like the type to like what us Agarthans did, ESPECIALLY regarding Kronya, Remire village, and your fath-”

Byleth spun around and pointed Sara’s pistol at Lahabrea’s head.

(Lahabrea) “…Forgive my careless words. But my point stands.”

(Byleth) “…”

(Lahabrea) “Edelgard, like myself, actively voiced against attacking those innocents, and anyone of House Isekai. Why do you think she offered her hand to you so many times in the tomb?”

(Byleth) “So she could use us. We would have been tools for the Empire, just like we were tools for the church. Just like you Agarthans are tools for her.”

He stopped aiming the pistol at Lahabrea and continued to walk on his way.

(Lahabrea) “And so you think the Agarthans are completely loyal to her cause? We are to her, as I am to my own organization. We have the same goals, but different ways of achieving it. The demonic beasts that attacked the Monastery, Remire Village, and all those you encountered throughout that year was ours. Your hatred should be focused on the Agarthans, NOT the Empire.”

(Byleth) “Speak plainly of why you’re telling me this, Agarthan.”

(Lahabrea) “Because both Agarthans and Seiros must be put down before we end up blowing up this world all the way to the seven hells with the Javelin of Liberation.”

(Byleth) “…Explain.”

(Lahabrea) “Meet me at House Arundel’s territory, and I will reveal all I know.”

He began to teleport away, but looked at Byleth once more.

(Lahabrea) “Not only will you avenge your friends and family, but you can put an end to this vicious cycle of war that WE started, forever.”

With that, he disappeared.

Byleth stared at Sara’s pistol for a moment before finally holstering it, making his way to House Arundel.

A Few Days Later...

Byleth finally arrived near House Arundel, and found rubble everywhere. Strangely enough, there were no bodies or any sign of combat. Only weapons and shields on the ground where the debris was.

He slowly reached for Sara’s pistol and looked around for any other sign of what happened here.

(Lahabrea) “Ah, about time you showed up.”

Byleth kept his pistol on him as he turned around, but didn’t point it at Lahabrea.

(Byleth) “This your handiwork?”

(Lahabrea) “...No. It wasn’t.”

Byleth noticed that the levity in his voice had disappeared when he said that. He seemed to be as troubled as Byleth.

(Lahabrea) “It seems that this is the Church’s doing...Hmph. It’s worse than I thought.”

Lahabrea began examining the area as well, picking up the swords and looking around the area.

(Byleth) “The Church? But they’re still battling near the borders with Imperial forces. How could they have reached this far into Adrestian territory this early in the war?”

Lahabrea remained silent for a moment before answering Byleth.

(Lahabrea) “So you truly do not know what they’ve been doing?”

(Byleth) “How would I? I’ve always been kept out of the loop since I started teaching House Isekai.”

(Lahabrea) “Hm...Tell me Byleth, do you know about a tower at Zanado?”

(Byleth) “No, not a tower. I remember finding Class VII and the Phantom Thieves there, but no tower.”

(Lahabrea) “Perhaps that is a blessing in disguise then...”

(Byleth) “Enough with these vague answers. Tell me what are you on about, or I’m walking away right now.”

Lahabrea put the sword down onto the ground and sighed.

(Lahabrea) “Fine. Little pieces at a time then. There are weapons that the Church and Those Who Slither were never meant to have. If we do not stop them, then their conflict will obliterate our world. That’s the most immediate threat we have right now.”

(Byleth) “Then what about the other threat?”

(Lahabrea) “We can talk about that when the rest of your House has returned.”

(Byleth) “You have some means of bringing them back?”

(Lahabrea) “I do. But I need your help. Without it, we will not be able to save them.”

(Byleth) “Fine. Now, before we continue, what was that about a Javelin when we last spoke?”

Lahabrea shook his head, facing another direction.

(Lahabrea) “Are you mad? Showing him this crystal could possibly kill him!”

(Byleth) “I don’t think your...friend there is the one that’s mad.”

Lahabrea turned to Byleth. Although he had a mask on, Byleth knew he was glaring daggers at him. After a few moments of silence, Lahabrea turned to Byleth again.

(Lahabrea) “The Javelin of Liberation is a weapon that was supposed to be capable of wiping out this entire world with a single strike.”

(Byleth) “Was?”

(Lahabrea) “Yes. It failed and instead of killing us all instantly, it killed us overtime. It caused some sort of winter where it caused the temperature to drop, slowly freezing us to death.”

(Byleth) “You’re speaking as if this all happened before.”

(Lahabrea) “It did. We’re going to prevent that. Now the Church-”

(Byleth) “Hang on a moment, what do you mean it did? We’re still alive aren’t we? As far as I know, Faerghus is the only place with freezing temperatures-”

(Lahabrea) “It happens in the future, Byleth!”

Lahabrea motioned Byleth to follow him as he went towards the nearby ruins.

As he was moving the rubble aside, trying to find something in the wreckage he continued.

(Lahabrea) “The Agarthans plan to use the Javelin to wipe out the Church and most of the surface world while they continue to thrive underground. But what they don’t realize is that it will kill them too. They’ll doom us all.”

(Byleth) “...And you know for a fact that this happens in the future?”

(Lahabrea) “I was there when it happened.”

(Byleth) “...So, what was that whole bit about that war that ‘we’ started?”

Lahabrea finally cleared the rubble to reveal a stairway. He went down and Byleth followed.

It was a long hallway that they were walking down, Byleth couldn’t see the end of it.

(Lahabrea) “I will get to that in a moment. Now, the Church has access to almost the same technology the Agarthans do, but they’re using it differently.”

Lighting torches with a snap of his fingers, Lahabrea continued.

(Lahabrea) “They’re using ou...my research to modify and mutant humans into abominations that blindly follow orders, in this case, Seiros. What we saw out there is a small taste to come.”

(Byleth) “What so those monsters di-?”

It had just clicked for Byleth.

The reason why there weren’t any bodies or even sign of battle.

(Lahabrea) “They come in, strike quick, then leave as fast as they came. And this is only the beginning.”

Lahabrea finally stopped by a door at the end of the hallway and opened it.

(Lahabrea) “Good, they didn’t find these notes.”

Byleth went into the room and looked around. All there was in the room was a chair in the middle, and a table near the corner that Lahabrea was at.

(Byleth) “What’s on them, Javelin schematics or something?”

(Lahabrea) “No, crest enhancement. This will help us defeat the Church.”

Lahabrea motioned over to the chair.

(Byleth) “...Hang on a second, I didn’t agree to this. My crest is fine as it is. And I don’t trust my life in the hands of someone I don’t know.”

Lahabrea turned to his left.

(Lahabrea) “He has to know. Now, it’s this, or the hard way.”

Lahabrea brought out a small glowing crystal.

(Lahabrea) “Easy way is, I enhance your crest and tell you everything you want to know afterwards. Hard way, you listen to that crystal and experience the pain of several lifetimes at once.”

Byleth furrowed his brow and grabbed the crystal.

(Byleth) “What could it possibly contain to make me-”

“I don’t know if anyone will be seeing this message, whether that be myself or anyone else who comes into this godforsaken tower but…My name is Byleth Eisner. Son of Jeralt Eisner.”

(Byleth) ?!

[Footsteps in the Snow - Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers OST]

Byleth’s mind grinded to a halt when he heard his voice emitting from the crystal.

When he looked up, Lahabrea reached for his head, softly rubbing it. He appeared to be feeling the same sensation as he did.

The moment that crystal began speaking, a throbbing feeling slowly became more and more present.

“We’re leaving this here in some hopes that this cycle can be broken, and to fix this mistake before it could ever happen…Our memories will be wiped after this, so we want to say everything we can before…before we forget.”

(Byleth) “What...What the hell?!”

As the message continued, Byleth dropped to one knee while Lahabrea did his best to shake off the headache.

(Lahabrea) “You only got yourself to blame!”

When it became clear that Byleth was experiencing the flashes Lahabrea was, Sothis appeared next to him, hands also on her head.

(Sothis) “Ya know, you-agh! Could’ve just told him?”

(Lahabrea) “Oh please, as if he’ll believe that we’re-”

(Byleth) “AAAAAAAAGH!”

Lahabrea and Sothis turned to Byleth, who had a pincer through his stomach.

(Lahabrea) “WHAT THE HELL?!”

He drew out the Sword of the Creator and leapt forward, slicing the attacker in two.

Sothis floated over to Byleth as Lahabrea looked at the thing that had attacked him.

It appeared to be a knight with a mutated pincer, cloaked in white-

(Lahabrea) “THE CHURCH IS STILL HERE?!”

Looking around, it seemed that the Knight was waiting for his moment to strike. He could hear more footsteps on the way.

(Sothis) “Damn it, I knew we should have just left! We can’t Divine Pulse either, he’s immune to it, and who knows what it’ll do to House Isekai! They’re in mid teleportation now!”

Lahabrea rushed to Byleth, putting the crystal in his pocket.

He was struggling to breathe as blood was rushing out, a white aura slowly overtaking his body.

(Lahabrea) “Damn it, we have to teleport him back to the tower!”

(Sothis) “Are you insane?! He’s in the middle of remembering WHILE being transformed into an ‘Angel’! Who knows what that’ll do!”

(Lahabrea) “OUR ONLY HOPE IS DYING IN FRONT OF US, SO IF YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA I’D BE GLAD TO HEAR IT!”

Sothis shook her head and helped Lahabrea teleport out of House Arundel.

Once they were inside the Zanado tower, Lahabrea began to use a healing spell.

(Sothis) “Not working, it’s starting to spread to other parts of his body!”

Byleth’s hair began to turn white, which made Lahabrea swear under his breath.

The tower began to shake violently as echoes from the past became louder.

As Lahabrea was about to cast another healing spell, the Tower flashed a bright white, blinding all three of them.

When they opened their eyes, they were back at Garreg Mach’s roof, and it felt significantly colder.

Sothis’s eyes went wide as she looked up to the skies.

It was a bright white and grey, in combination with streaks of white light raining down to the ground.

Snow was falling to the floor and it was then she realized where they were.

(Sothis) “We’re in the future where the Javelin fell!”

(Lahabrea) “Damn it, 2 Byleth’s in here in combination of us experiencing the memory is making this even more unstable!”

Byleth’s eye color began to change before Lahabrea was left with no option.

Lahabrea raised his hand up, and a dark energy flowed out of it into Byleth’s body.

The Crest of Flames appeared on Byleth’s hand, slowly transforming into a bright red color.

(Lahabrea) “Sothis, did Yu ever tell you about Marie?!”

Lahabrea grabbed Byleth’s sword and Sara’s pistol as he jumped back. 

Sothis floated over to him and looked confused.

(Sothis) “You mean that hat girl in the Velvet Room? Only a little! What does this have to do with anything?!”

(Lahabrea) “He once told me that Marie was originally going to die, but they let whatever beast that was inside her take control, and beat that thing up to where they saved her!”

(Sothis) “Oh, don’t tell me you-”

Byleth’s body rose into the air, streams of light and dark energy mixing together.

(Lahabrea) “If this works, he’ll become our trump card against the Agarthans and Church!”

(Sothis) “But he’ll still have the angel blood in him, right?! Even if we save him, he’ll still transform!”

(Lahabrea) “We’ll find out a cure later, if we lose him, then all hope is lost!”

Lahabrea held Byleth’s sword tightly, and it powered up in response.

(Lahabrea) “Good, it still works!”

Lahabrea quickly put the pistol onto his belt before Sothis got his attention.

(Sothis) “Byleth!”

[Return to Oblivion - Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers OST]

Sothis floated to Lahabrea’s side, bringing up a reflective shield around him.

Byleth stopped screaming as his clothes transformed into a dark blue, and his hair transforming back into green.

Wings sprouted from his back, tearing apart his body as he slowly turned into a bright white form, growing larger.

Lahabrea tried to shake off the voices that echoed in the distance, instead focusing on the fight that was about to happen.

“Why did you choose Edelgard, Professor?! Why did you choose to walk this savage, bloody path? I cannot shake this feeling of regret... Regret that I must kill you now.”

Byleth’s form now took on something similar to the Immaculate One’s form, which made Lahabrea hold his weapon tighter. There wasn’t any trace of Byleth in this new form.

This wasn’t going to be easy.

“Professor... I suppose you think you can defeat me. Is that right? But I will never give up. Even if my arms and legs failed me, I would still find a way to move forward. I will smash that false goddess and her minion into the ground! I will fight to free this world from her vile grasp!”

(Sothis) “Is it me, or are these voices getting louder?!”

(Lahabrea) “Ignore it, Sothis! 

Sothis tried her best to ignore it, and finally snapped back to attention seeing Byleth’s new form in front of her.

He was smaller than the Immaculate One, most likely barely half her size, but by no means did that make him any less deadly.

"Teach... You should have chosen me instead of Edelgard. No point in whining about it now, I suppose. Sorry, but I'll be taking the win today."

The angel form of Byleth roared with such force that it made the wind almost push the both of them off. Lahabrea leapt forward with both swords, making the first move.

Wanting, I lie

Too weary to die

His swords were met by a fireball, the heat melting the snow instantly as it forced Byleth back onto the ground.

Too lost to the ice for saving

My sins claim me, untame me

Sothis raised her hand and countered with another fireball that hit Byleth, making him fly backwards.

Eyes wet with tears

Her song in my ears

Byleth roared back and rushed them, claws swinging as he crashed through the railings.

Lahabrea rolled out the way as the entire roof shook, and activated the whip function of the swords.

Broken, faded, how long have I waited

To open my wings

When Byleth came back for another pass, Lahabrea swung the whips at his claws, making Byleth fly back.

Byleth’s mouth opened, shooting out another fireball.

Turn the light on

And let her in. Won't you

Turn the light on

Lahabrea let Sothis’s shield take the blow, pushing him back from the impact.

Sothis got in front  and held both her hands out.

(Sothis) “THORON!”

Turn the light on

You'll never win 'less you

Turn the light on

A stream of lightning rushed out of her hands, Byleth diving out the way and landing back onto the roof.

Turn the light on

The pain won't end 'till you

Turn the light on

(Sothis) “This is getting us nowhere!”

(Lahabrea) “We’re still in the Zanado tower, and this place was formed out of our memories, right?”

(Sothis) “Yeah, its a recreation of whatever happened before the others came into our world!”

(Lahabrea) “In that case- Heed my call...”

The soul longs for oblivion, 

Oblivion

“VALIMAR, THE ASHEN KNIGHT!”

A phantom of Valimar emerged from a dark portal, and hit Byleth with its greatsword.

Byleth roared before being hit by it again, sending it flying upwards.

Valimar landed and turned to Lahabrea before fading away into the same dark portal.

Falling too far for the fear to embrace me

A voice from the past screaming there is no end (no)

A slave to my fate, ever doomed to repeat this

again and again and again and again (yeah, I'm)

(Sothis) “What in the?!”

Lahabrea sheathed one of the swords to have an open hand, the snow drawing into it as he prepared a spell.

(Lahabrea) “Take out the wings with ice spells!”

Falling too fast, no it won't overtake me

A voice from the past echoes loud like a drum (oh, yes)

no more goodbyes, though my heart is still aching

Now open my eyes, one more time, Here I come

Sothis and Lahabrea fired spear-like icicles into the wings of Byleth, making him screech and fall to the roof.

Once he got up, he started to roar.

(Lahabrea) “If I can summon Valimar like that, then we can summon the others to fight with us!”

(Sothis) “Well, it faded away instantly, right?!”

Byleth swung his tail at them, hitting Lahabrea into the railing, almost breaking it and sending him flying off.

The ice made him slide down the stairs, getting stunned for a moment.

(Sothis) “Damn it! Tch, here goes nothing, HOUSE ISEKAI, ANSWER OUR CALL!”

As Byleth walked to Lahabrea, a massive sword suddenly struck his face and made him recoil back in pain.

When Byleth turned back, a phantom of Ainz donning Momon’s armor stood in front of them.

Byleth’s claws lunged forward, Momon deflecting the hit, then each swipe he managed to dodge.

(Lahabrea) “Agh, goddess that hurt!”

(Phantom of Nabe) “Get up.”

Narberal offered her hand and helped up Lahabrea before jumping to Momon’s side.

Before she could make an attack, Byleth shot a fireball point blank, incinerating the two into a dark energy.

Lahabrea activated the whip function and swung at the arm, making a deep cut and making Byleth roar in pain.

When Byleth tried to stand on the arm, he limped over.

(Sothis) “Just how powerful did your past self make that mutation?!”

(Lahabrea) “It’s not helping that it’s enhanced by church magic, or whatever it is!”

Byleth charged up another fireball, forcing Lahabrea to strain the Tower’s energy.

(Lahabrea) “PERSONA!”

Arsene, Thanatos, and Izanagi appeared in front of Lahabrea, all casting a protective spell around them as the fireball set the entire roof ablaze.

The two couldn’t even see the snow on the roof anymore with all the smoke and fire engulfing them.

Reason resigned

Dark seasons' design

“I'm...dying for someone else? I can't believe this.”

As the Personas faded away, Sothis, Byleth and Lahabrea tried to shake off the voices that had returned.

Spring's promise of sun is honored

When winter's weighed down on us

(Lahabrea) “Come on, not now!”

Darkness erupted from Byleth’s mouth, and it seem he was stunned.

Visions in white

Raw fury in flight

(Lahabrea) “The crest enhancements created an opening!”

He sheathed one sword and grabbed the pistol throwing it up into the air.

A phantom of Sara and Sharon emerged above them, Sara grabbing the pistol.

(Sara & Sharon) “ARCUS, ACTIVATE!”

Clear as diamond, yet fragile as ice

My heart is racing

Lahabrea was about to join them before being dropped to a knee, hearing more voices yell out.

“Your Majesty, I die so that...you may seize your destiny.”

“Your Highness. Somehow you must...”

The phantoms sped around Byleth, cutting at specific locations to make him drop to the floor, unable to fight properly.

Turn the light on

And let her in. Won't you

Turn the light on

(Sothis) “H-Hey! We’re supposed to be just beating him up, right?!”

(Phantom of Sharon) “Not to worry, Miss Sothis!”

Sharon pulled the wires in her hands back, completely enwrapping Byleth in them.

Turn the light on

You'll never win 'less you

Turn the light on

Sharon bowed as Sara winked, their phantoms disappearing.

The pistol dropped onto the floor as Byleth struggled to break free, clearly on the breaking point.

Turn the light on

The pain won't end 'till you

Turn the light on

(Lahabrea) “Right, let’s finish this! DO IT!”

Sothis began to glow a bright yellow as Byleth finally broke free of the wires and was about to charge at them before a phantom of Doomguy emerged from a portal and hit the side of his head, making him fall over.

He launched an ice grenade from his shoulder cannon as a smaller phantom appeared below him.

(Phantom of Kurumi) “I GOT THIS!”

The soul longs for oblivion,

Oblivion

The grenade exploded, freezing his back leg into place, making sure he wasn’t able to move for a few more moments. The phantom of Kurumi struck his eye with her shovel, making him stunned for longer.

They both nodded as they faded away.

Falling too far for the fear to embrace me

A voice from the past screaming there is no end (no)

A slave to my fate, ever doomed to repeat this

again and again and again and again (yeah, I'm)

Sothis cast one last fire spell that enveloped Byleth, preparing for the final hit.

(Sothis) “We just say the move and the tower will fill in the rest right?”

(Lahabrea) “Yeah- Wait, you’re not going to do what I-”

Falling too fast, but the fall will not break me

A voice from the past echoes loud like a drum (oh, yes)

no more goodbyes, I am tired of waiting

Now open my eyes, one last time, Here I come

(Sothis) 

“EXPLOOOOOOOOSION!”

A bright white ball formed in front of Byleth, then erupted into an inferno that blasted the entire rooftop apart, with Sothis barely forming a shield around them.

Their vision was completely enveloped into a blinding white as they felt their bodies tumble onto a smooth floor.

When Lahabrea opened his eyes, he struggled to get up as he winced in pain, looking over to Byleth’s location.

Byleth was extremely bruised, but other than that he was fine. Though the white hair was still concerning.

Lahabrea was looking around, and sure enough they were back in the Zanado tower.

[Tears in the Rain - Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers OST]

Sothis collapsed onto the floor, heavily breathing.

(Sothis) “No...No wonder she always passes out after casting that!”

Lahabrea tried to warm himself up after fighting in that cold. He finally had time to realize just how low the temperatures were in that world.

And it also made him realize that those who weren’t killed initially by the blast most likely froze to death.

(Lahabrea) “...We have to ensure that our world won’t end up like that, Sothis.”

(Sothis) “...Yeah.”

She floated over to Byleth and began examining him while Lahabrea took off his mask and began casting a healing spell.

(Sothis) “Knocked out hard. But he’ll live.”

She then turned her attention to the Angel blood inside him.

(Sothis) “...For now. Whatever we did worked.”

Lahabrea finished healing and looked at his own hands.

(Lahabrea) “To be honest, I don’t know how I managed to summon everyone like that.”

He turned around and thought of the very first person that came to mind.

(Lahabrea) “Edelgard.”

An older Edelgard appeared in front of him, standing completely still.

Lahabrea waved his hand in front of her face, but she didn’t respond. After a few moments, she quickly disappeared.

(Sothis) “The longer we’re in this tower, the more questions I seem to have. How did any of this even happen?”

(Lahabrea) “It most likely has to deal with our memories. Since our past self remembered what the world was like when the Javelin hit, we were...transported there because of it I think.”

He pulled out the crystal again and stared at it. When he did, he heard the voices of that timeline softly echo.

(Sothis) “Maybe, Byleth was overwhelmed by the flood of memories that he created an area similar to it with the tower?”

(Lahabrea) “That seems likely. But it seems having two Byleth’s in here is too dangerous. We were lucky we didn’t get the other Sothis back yet.”

Lahabrea picked Byleth up and was ready to teleport him out of there.

(Lahabrea) “In combination with the memories, this angel inside of him may corrupt him into something far deadlier...”

(Sothis) “Then there’s a chance he may die.”

(Lahabrea) “...That’s something we’re going to have to risk.”

Sothis looked uncomfortable with that answer.

(Sothis) “His Sothis won’t be happy to hear that. Neither will House Isekai...”

(Lahabrea) “One thing at a time. We’ll tell them when they’re ready. For now, we must tend to his injuries in a safer spot.”

Lahabrea put the crystal into a nearby pedestal and teleported away with Sothis.

...

...

...

(Claude) “I think that’s the end of that...memory or whatever.”

Everyone looked away from the crystal mirror and tried to understand what they just witnessed.

(Yosuke) “So that Lahabrea guy we’ve been seeing...He’s Byleth?!”

(Teddie) “And Sothis is with him too!”

(Ignatz) “The Goddess doesn’t look anything like that!”

(Lorenz) “I suppose the question to be asking is what DO we know? This tower has never been here to our knowledge, Lahabrea is able to materialize your classmates into existence, AND has the power of the goddess and time on his side!”

(Kanji) “In other words, we don’t know shit...”

(Rise) “Eloquently put, Kanji...”

(Naoto) “They’re right. We need to keep investigating before we make any assumptions. The most we have right now is our memories future and past being displayed with echoes.”

(Yu) “Besides, we’ve just begun the investigation right?”

(Hilda) “Hey, I found that crystal that Lahabrea guy was talking about.”

As soon as she got near the pedestal, a door opened up behind it.

(Chie) “Uh...What’s that?”

(Yukiko) “Should we open it?”

(Raphael) “Well we aren’t going anywhere by not opening it.”

(Leonie) “W-Wait a second!”

Raphael opened the door and walked in, everyone rushing in behind.

(Lysithea) “YOU IDIOT, DON’T JUST GO...and...”

(Marianne) “By the goddess...!”

Everyone was awestruck by the room they had walked into.

The staggering heights the ceiling went to, with the crystal in the wall illuminating the entire tower. It was the most beautiful and sinister thing they had ever seen.

(Claude) “Well, it certainly won’t be a dull time that’s for sure.”

(Yu) “Everyone, let’s get moving!”

Part 1: END

[This Beautiful Cruel World - Attack On Titan OST]

Your dream is where your heart is

It’s something more fragile than life itself

No matter how many times you throw it away, you still find it

So rest in peace now

Your wish is violated by your pulsing urge

and as much as you forget about it, you recall it again

In this beautiful and cruel world

We only ask “why” we’re still alive…

Ah, what are we going to protect

with our strength and weakness? If reason no longer exists

[depressedkakashihatake]

Five Times a Meme: Five Times Gai rescued Kakashi?

1

Kakashi's not sure what happened. He doesn't remmember much past the spark of his chidori and the sudden rush of pain in his chest. Had he beat the enemy? Had he completed his mission?

"Relax." He stopped squirming when he heard a familure voice. What was Gai doing all the way out here, on his mission? "How many fingers am i holding up?"

He narrowed his good eye, trying to focus on the blurry fingers being held up in front of him "2?"

"It's three," he should have know that. Why did his head hurt so much? "Come on, let's go home."

"Gai?" He didn't bother to argue when the other boy tucked his arms under his body and lifted him off of the ground. He didn't feel like he had any hope of walking on his own at that moment anyways "what..."

"You had a panic attack." Oh. He turned his face into Gai's chest, ashamed of himself for allowing such a weakness to take over "it's bound to happen Kakashi. After Rin..."

"Don't" his voice broke. The last thing he needed was a reminder of what he had done to Rin. How he had killed his own teammate. All he wanted was to get home and hide away from the rest of the world.

2)

His head was pounding. It had been days since he had seen home, and almost just as long since he had started fighting.

It seemed as if there would be no end. That this was going to be his final stand. The missions he didn't return from.

"Sorry, Turtle." He flexed his hand, wishing he had a moment to examine the red tortise shell tattoo on his inner wrist. Unfortuantly, one moment could absolutly spell his death, and even if he was going to die today it wasn't going to be that easy for his attackers. He still had some fight left in him.

"No need to apologize," his back sitffened when he heard a voice directly behind him, relaxing when he had a moment to process who's voice that was. Who had that soft laugh, and that calming tone he loved so much "you didn't think i'd let you off that easy did you?"

He didn't bother to ask what Gai was doing there. It was pointless. If Gai was being over protective it was something Kakashi had gotten used to years ago. Something that would never change.

"Here to help?" He smiled over at the other man, knowing full well that Gai's eyes were glued on the enemy so he could take a small break from watching them.

"Of course," even though his eyes stayed on the enemies, Gai smiled that bright cheerful smile. One meant for Kakashi and no one else "otherwise you'll be late for dinner."

Well, he couldn't disagree with that. Thankfully he always seemed to have someone watching out for him.

His own protector

3)

"Stop it," Kakashi swatted Gai's hand away from his hair when the other man reached out to try and fix it yet again "it's hopeless. It's not going to stay down."

"You're hair is the most stubborn thing i've ever had the displeasure of meeting," Gai huffed "and that's including you."

"Ya, love you too." he rolled his eyes, immidiatly slapping a hand over his mouth when he realized what he had said.

Asuma and Kurenai stopped in their tracks directly in front of them, both turning around to look at Kakashi with wide eyes "did you just..."

He glared at Asuma, hoping it was enough of a warning to shut the man up. Of course it wasn't, though. Asuma never passed up the opportunity to poke fun at others, and he immidiatly opened his mouth to say something.

Thankfully, Gai caught on to the situation quickly and moved in front of Kakashi. A protective position he usually only took when Kakashi was injured in battle, but one he appreciated just as much at this moment as any other.

"Let's go or we're going to be late," Gai insisted, shushing Asuma when he tried to speak once again "you know how impatient Ebisu is. If we're late i'll never hear the end of it."

Asuma glared over at Kakashi, a silent promise to continue this conversation later. When Gai wasn't around to protect him anymore.

Seemed like he was going to have to stick by Gai's side for a while. At least until asuma forgot about his slip of tongue. Maybe a week?

Ya, a week. He could survive that

4)

He was exhausted. His entire body hurt and he knew absolutly nothing he had just experienced was real, but it honestly felt like 3 days of torture was taking its toll on his body.

There was no way he could stop anouther attack. Itachi's gengustsu had drained him too much, taken too much from him.

He was a sitting duck.

"Let's end this," he kept his eyes on the attackers, watching as Itachi's partner grabbed his sword and moved in for an attack

Right now would be a great time for someone to swoop in and put a stop to this, but he didn't hold out too much hope. Even Gai could only be so many places at once, and his attention was dedicated to Lee at this moment.

He reached down to his side for his kunai, determined to go out fighting no matter what.

Thankfully, it wasn't neccessary. The next thing he knew there was a flash of green and Itachi's partner was sent flying backwards.

His protector. He could always count on him.

"Kakashi..." he looked up to Meet Gai's eye, smiling in substitution of words. He had no energy for words. Actually, he had no energy at all.

His vision blurred, Gai's face becoming obscured and impossible to see until everything went black.

Usually he'd worry about passing out, but Gai was there. As long as Gai was there, he was safe.

He always was

5)

"No!" He slapped his hands over his ears when Naruto continued to go on about the newest Icha Icha book, refusing to adhear to the 'no spoilers' rule that Kakashi had put into place after their test battle.

Why had he missed this kid? Why had he thought for one second he wanted to see him again, talk to him again

It must have been sentamentalism. Naruto was Minato Sensei's son after all. It was always interesting to see bits of his sensei in the kid.

Unfortunatly, right now was all the annoying parts. The over friendlyness, the desire to give him too many hugs, and the inability to shut up.

He needed an escape.

"Oy! Bushy brows Sensei!" His eyes snapped up, landing on Gai just as he turned around to look at the three approaching Shinobi.

There was no way he was giving up this chance.

Bolting forward, he buried his face into Gai's chest and locked his arms around his waist, determined to forget about Naruto and his evil spoilers. To just get lost in Gai until everything was better.

"I see you're enjoying being a sensei as much as always," Gai's laughter vibrated against his ear. A warm feeling building up inside of him as he held himself just a bit closer "Naruto, what did you do to him?"

"He keeps telling Kakashi Sensei spoilers for Make out Tactics?" He didn't need to look up to know Gai was giving him a disapproving look. He knew Gai hated those books, hated Jiraya Sensei. If Kakashi was sensable he would too, but the old man was one of his last ties to Minato Sensei left. It was the only tie he had for years until Naruto. He couldn't give it up now.

Besides, the books weren't that bad

"Don't worry," Gai's hand came down into his hair, brushing through the soft silver strands gently as he continued to hold himself close "this is a no spoiler zone. I'll protect you."

Izumi Shu (bymod nana)

He offered a fewwords of farewell, hanging up the call and making his way back outside.

“It’s rare for youto make a phone call right before a mission.”

Cerulean hues lookedover his shoulder to be greeted by his messy-haired companion.

“Eichi.” Shu gave acordial smile, the two making their way down the corridor.

“Was it [Name]?” thegreen-eyed man asked, a teasing smile playing on his lips.

“Yeah.” The fawn-hairedsoldier gave a sheepish chuckle. “Today’s Valentine’s, after all.”

“Ah, now that youmention it…” Eichi mused, recalling how the younger members of the fleets wereacting more energetic than usual. His expression soon dimmed, emerald huesnarrowing in sympathy for his longtime friend. “It must be hard…for both ofyou.”

“I’d be lying if Isaid it wasn’t.” Shu gave a strained smile, looking out the window to see abrilliant full moon shining its pale light down on the world. “But knowing[Name], she’s probably on her way over to our usual spot by now.”

“Your usual spot?”

“We have this placewe’d definitely visit every year back home. Sort of like a Valentine’s Daytradition?” The light-haired man explained, a nostalgic smile tugged his lipsat the memories. “There’s a small clearing at the top of a hill on theoutskirts of town. On clear nights like these, you can see the moon and starsshining down on the town—it’s a beautiful sight.”

“Sounds like quitethe view!” the curly-haired brunet mused, eyes sparkling in awe at hisdescription.

“It is.” Shuchuckled, looking back up at the moon. “It seems [Name] visits that spot everyyear—even if I’m not around. ‘Traditions are meant to be followed!’apparently.” He laughed again, heart swelling at the thought of you.

Eichi hummed inreply, the usual smile returning to his features as he gave an energetic nod.“Then let’s hurry up and finish this mission so you can visit [Name] again! Soyou can make it up for missing all these Valentine’s dates!” he declared,pumping his fists.

Cerulean huesblinked in surprise at his statement, a hearty laugh leaving Shu’s lips as henodded.

“Yeah! If thisinformation about an attack is right, it’ll be huge advantage to us. Let’s doour best to put an end to this war so we can all go home.”

—

It was a devastatingdefeat.

Rather than onesingle attack on the capital, multiple enemy fleets launched attacks indifferent locations. Luckily, they had managed to fend them off but thecasualties were still great and many.

He made his way upthe hill, looking down on what once used to be a flourishing town, now reducedto but a pile of rubble.

He placed a bouquetof flowers in front of a lone gravestone, a hollow smile on his face.

“There’s nothing Ican say, is there?” Shu muttered to himself, shoulders shaking as he stared atthe ground. “I kept telling you I don’t make promises I can’t keep and yet Ibroke every single one…”

He drew a breath ina futile attempt to compose himself.

“I promised I wouldprotect everyone. That we would definitely win. That I wouldn’t make you feellonely. That we’d go the festival once I came back…and that we’d have a picnichere again next Valentine’s Day. And yet I…”

He sank to hisknees, fingers curling into a fist as he clenched his jaw, the tears fallingfrom his eyes.

“I’m so sorry.[Name]… I’m so sorry…”

Murase Dai(by mod nana)

Blue orbs stared atthe phone screen, the digits of the clock changing to show the passing of yetanother minute. He closed his eyes and brought the device closer, gentlytapping it against his forehead.

—

“Hello? [Name]?Sorry I completely forgot about our plans today! Where—” He stopped once youreleased a sigh.

“I knew it…” Youmuttered under your breath.

“[Name] I—”

“Hey Dai…” Heturned silent once you spoke again.

“Dai, I knowyou’ve been busy with work. I know it’s not easy being an idol. I’m not tryingto blame you or make you pick between your work or me but…our relationship ispretty important too, don’t you think?”

—

He clenched his jaw,holding his phone tighter. He could still hear your voice, shaking as thoughyou were desperately holding back tears.

—

“[Name], whereare you right now? I'll—” Dai began when he heard another voice.

“I’m sorry butit’s closing time.”

“Right, I’msorry. Dai…I’m…I gotta go.”

—

“I really screwedup…” The blue-haired idol pinched the bridge of his nose. He heaved a sigh,looking at his phone screen again.

It had been threedays since then and you hadn’t been in touch since. You refused to pick up hiscalls or reply to his texts. You didn’t even answer Tsubasa or Rikka’s calls.

He drew his lipsinto a thin line, his heart beating faster the longer he waited. It was then heheard footsteps climbing the stairs, Dai daring to look up when he was greetedby surprised [e/c] hues staring back at him.

“[Name]!”

“Dai…I…” You took astep back, looking at the taciturn singer standing in front of your apartmentwith a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. “Wh-What are you doinghere?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Icame to make it up to you.” Dai replied, awkwardly handing you the flowers andchocolate. “H-Happy late Valentine’s Day…”

You stared at hispresents, biting your lip as you turned around to head back down the stairs.“I’m sorry… I can’t do this right now—” you began when he seized your wrist.

“[Name], please talkto me. I know I have no right asking you for anything…you waited at thatrestaurant until closing time but I…” He turned his gaze to the floor,narrowing his eyes at his own careless behavior.

He shook his head,lifting it to look at you again.

“I’m sorry foralways putting our relationship aside lately. Before I knew it I took yourunderstanding for granted and…” He trailed off, silence enveloping the two ofyou.

“I was lonely…”

“Eh?”

“I was lonely!” Youlooked over your shoulder, tears welling up in your eyes. “And then when youdidn’t show up on Valentine’s I… I got so upset but I didn’t want to sayanything I’d regret later. I still don’t know what to say.” You looked to theside, trying to hide your face.

“Tell me what you wantto say.”

“…What?”

Dai nodded. “Tell meeverything you want to say. You can yell at me or even punch me for being aterrible boyfriend. Hit me with all you’ve got.”

“Dai…?”

“Whatever you wantto do, I’ll tag along. I’m yours for the whole day.” He declared, letting go ofyour wrist as you turned around to face him. “No recordings, no photoshoots, novariety shows, no idol work at all. Today I’m all yours.”

You stared at himfor a few moments, the tears finally spilling out as you moved to hug him.

“I was lonely…” Youwhimpered, burying your face in his chest as you cried.

“I know.” Daireplied, returning your hug. “I’m sorry for making you feel that way.”

“I missed you somuch…”

He held you tight,kissing the top of your head.

“I missed you too.”

Fujimura Mamoru (by mod mari)

He didn’t know howit happened. But it did, and he’s now figuring out how to fix it. He had beenworking on the new Growth song for days, up to the last moment. And when he hadfinished, he went to the agency to submit it.

After returning fromthe agency, Ken had asked him, “How was your date with [Name] before her flight?”

Mamoru frowned as heshook his head with a sigh. “We did a lot of rechecking for the demo Isent, and then there was a traffic jam on the way to the cafe from the studio.I was almost there when she texted me that she had to leave if she wanted to bein the airport in time.”

Ken placed a hand onMamoru’s shoulder and said, “Mamoru–” but was interrupted by the ring of thedoorbell.

Kou answered it andsaw their manager, Minato. “Oh, Minato-san, welcome.” he said as he steppedaside to let their manager in.

“Hello, everyone.Happy Valentine’s day.” he greeted before he noticed them grouped just by theentrance, “Oh, were you all planning to head out?” he asked as he noted thatMamoru just came back from the agency as well. “You just got back, didn’t you?”he asked as he remembered that Mamoru went to one of the studios to talk aboutthe song compositions.

Mamoru nodded,“Yes.”

“Mamoru was supposedto meet with [Name]-san before her flight. But due to a traffic jam, he missedher.”

“Ah, [Name]-san? I passedby the agency earlier.” Minato said.

“Eh?”

Minato tooksomething from his bag and presented a box of chocolates, “She wanted me togive this to you.”

Mamoru gingerly tookit and his eyes went straight to the note.

Happy Valentine’sDay, Mamoru-kun!

He quickly took outhis phone and called you, but was only getting voicemail. He tried a few moretimes, as urged by the others, when he noticed that there was another note attachedto the box of chocolates.

Like Father, Like Daughter - Kakashi Hatake x Reader

Summary : The death of your father hits you full force right in the face, and you don’t think you’ll ever be able to feel ok again...Fortunately for you, a certain Copy Ninja is here to try and cheer you up the best he can. 

Well, I thought I’d just jump into it. Something completely unrelated to DC/Mavel, a bit of love for Kakashi from the anime “Naruto”...I just really wanted to write this piece with the scarecrow. Tell me if you want more of those (I’ve been binge watching Naruto, One Piece and Full  Metal Alchemist particularly lately so...send request about that if you wanna) I’m really REALLY unsure about that one...But hey, I’m posting it anyway. Hope you’ll like it : 

You can find my masterlist here : @ella-ravenwood-archives

________________________________________________

-Go fuck yourself you fucking stale baguette !!

...Stale baguette ? Where were you even finding your insults ? How was he suppose to punish you for using bad words when you were being so damn hilarious ? Stale baguette. He had to remember that one. 

Jiraiya looked at you tenderly. You. His daughter. A daughter he never even should have had. His daughter than never let anyone walk on her feet. His small little baby girl...who was already sixteen. Where have the years gone ? 

He was staring at you, his eyes full of awe and love, as usual, and couldn’t help but think you looked a lot like your mother right now, mad as Hell and ready to kick some ass. 

Your mother. Tsunade. The only woman he ever truly loved (though he’d never admit it, as the love was unrequited...or so he thought). Most people were quite...surprised to say the least, when they learned that you were the biological daughter of the two famous sennin, Jiraiya, and Konoha’s fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju. 

You were the result of a very drunken night of passion, the only one they shared...It was Dan’s (your mother “only love”) anniversary of death, and she felt particularly bad. So she went out to drink her sorrow away, and your father went with...The rest is history. 

Nine months later, you were there, a surprised to both of them, but one they gladly accepted. They had a lot of flaws, those two, but being bad parents wasn’t one of them. 

You lived in Konoha until you were six, until your “Uncle” Orochimaru turned dark, betrayed the village, and your parents’ were too heartbroken to stay. Your life was shared between them. A few months with your dad, a few months with your mom...And you loved it. 

Ruffling your hair mischievously, your father lets out a loud laugh and says : 

-You’re a terrible flirt. Not as in you do it too often, as in, you’re bad. Like, really bad. Soooooooo bad.

-Yeah I know ! Like father, like daughter right ? 

-I don’t think I ever called anyone a “fucking stale baguette” while trying to flirt with them...How did that even come up ?

You shake your head vigorously, you have no idea how you ended up insulting the guy you were flirting with...Was it because he kept making stupid remarks about your boobs ? Or maybe your ass ? You couldn’t even remember, that’s how important to you it was. Yeah, you definitely couldn’t care less.

-No, but remember that time you waited an entire day in the public onsen just to see naked women ? 

-...Point taken. 

-Aren’t you suppose to scold me for using bad words anyway ?

-...If I buy you your favorite flavored popsicle, will you shut up and not tell anything to your mother ? 

-Buy me two and we have a deal.  

-Deal.

You nod, and he puts a protective arm around your shoulder (as a reflex, because if he was honest with himself, he knew you didn’t need protection...You were your parents’ daughter, a very powerful kunoichi, bound to even surpass them one day), his giant frame dwarfing your small one...That, you took from your mother. 

It was moments like that that you loved the most with your father. Just silly time with your big idiot of a dad. You two had always been close, ever since the moment you were born. He swore, the first time he held you in his arms, that he would never let anything happen to you...He just didn’t plan on leaving you so soon...

*****************

You woke up from this pleasant dream with a start...And wished you could go back to sleep and dream some more about good times you spent with your dad. You wished you could just control your dreams, and see him whenever you wanted when you were asleep...Damn you missed the fool so much.

You would give anything to be sixteen again, to be back those eight years ago, in a random city you forgot the name off, eating two popsicle on a bench near a river, looking at the sun going down, talking with him about anything. He always was a good listener, and the conversations you shared were always the best.

Was. Using the past tense to speak about him tore a whole in your chest. 

Your father was dead. 

Killed by an ex-student of his, that was now dead..and that you couldn’t blame because you understood his pain. Besides, he amended himself, bringing back to life many people from Konoha (including a certain copy ninja on which you had a massive crush since you were a child). 

And you couldn’t help but think it was your fault. Because you weren’t with him. Maybe with your added force, he could have survived...or you could have died instead of him. But he refused for you to come with him. 

You think he knew. He knew he wouldn’t come back. It was in the way he said goodbye to you, in the way he bid his farewell to your mother...it was different than usual. He knew he wouldn’t come back...

After a week of his absence (you moved back to Konoha when you were 18, and were so glad your mother became Hokage, like that you could see her often...and your father also came home more often because of it), you felt your heart ripped apart and just knew what happened instantly...

The bond that linked you to him was broken. Your father was dead. 

Your mother felt it too, and you fell in her arms, crying for hours...She held you against her heart, and you knew she suffered as much as you. Because you knew since you were a chid that they were both in love with each other, but were too damn proud to ever admit it. Such a shame...Because now, he was gone. 

You would never see him again. Talk to him, about anything and everything. Joke with him. Scold him for his inappropriate behaviors. He would never again buy you a popsicle so you wouldn’t tell something bad he did (or made you do) to your mom. You would never hear his laugh again. His hand would never go through your hair, ruffling them lovingly again...Your father was dead. 

Lost forever. 

You couldn’t sleep anymore, even with the prospect of a possible pleasant dream about a memory with your father, you simply couldn’t sleep.

You checked your alarm clock. 4 am. You had to wake up in two hours to go on a mission...no point in trying to fall back asleep. 

You decided to go see your dad. You slipped some close on, and left, your thought unable to detached themselves from the man you lost...

******************

The stone of heroes. 

Where the name of everyone who fell in combat was carved in. It was a lot of people. Your father’s name was on it, carved bigger than a lot of the other names...Of course it would be carved bigger. He was awesome. 

You sad down on the cold floor in front of it, and caressed the stone lightly. 

-I miss you so much dad...

A twig cracking behind you startles you, and as fast as lightning, you turn around, kunai out, ready to fight. 

Kakashi. It’s only Kakashi. As your gaze meet his only visible eye, you realize he’s exactly the person you want to see right now...

Kakashi was older than you. Eight years your senior. The fact that you were close from Jiraiya, meant that you became close from Minato as well, the famous Yondaime Hokage...which in consequence, also meant you ended up seeing Kakashi a lot. Not that you minded. At all. 

You always had a huge crush on him. How could you not ? He was brilliant, both in combat and intelligence, funny, witty, mysterious, compassionate...He went through a lot. His father’s suicide, his best friends’ death (feeling guilty forever because of it) etc etc...He suffered from a lot of mental pain, and the only thing you wanted to do was to hold him in your arm and tell him everything will be ok. But he only saw you as a little sister. 

You were sure of it. After all, eight years was quite a gap, and most of all, he rarely let anyone come close to him ever since Rin died. Especially not relationship was. The man had a lot of flings, one night stands...but an actual relationship ? No. Because he still felt guilty about the fact that he did not return Rin’s feelings. And he couldn’t handle the pain of loosing someone else...he told you himself. You became friends, against his better judgment, hell, best friends, but it never went further...He wouldn’t allow it. 

-Hey. 

His voice. You always found his deep low voice soothing. He could read something stupid (like one of your father’s awful smutty book) and you’d still think it’s the best thing ever. 

-Hey Kakashi-kun...

-You’re up early.

-So are you. 

-I didn’t went to bed yet. 

-Ah. 

There a silence. Not an awkward one, not at all. He approaches you, and you stand up, turning your body to face him. You’re close, but not as close as you with and...you feel guilty. Thinking about that in front of the stone of heroes. How disrespectful. 

So you look away from him, turn away from him, making the distance between the two of you bigger and...Was it a hint of disappointment and hurt you saw in his eyes as you were doing so ? No. No more wishful thinking about him seeing you in any other way than a friend. Especially not here, not now. 

-How...How are you holding up ? 

He asks shyly, unsure of your reaction. 

-I’m...alright. It’s...It’s how life goes I guess.

-Doesn’t make things any less painful. 

-No, it doesn't right ? 

Kakashi always found the right words to make you feel better. Always. Or maybe it was because you liked his voice so much... 

-I know how it feels. Believe me (Y/N), I do. If I can do anything for you I...

-No Kakashi, you don’t. You don’t know. 

He’s about to retorque something, to tell you his father too died, but you don’t let him speak.

-You don’t, because your case was much worst. You were a child. Whose father...decided to end his own life. Everyone was telling you that your dad was a scumbag...It’s completely different. You suffered much more. My dad died “a hero”, if that means anything...Everyone gave me their condolences and shit like that...While you ? You just suffered way more Kakashi. You shouldn’t feel bad for me. 

At your words, you can see conflicted feelings going through his eyes, the only part of his face you could see (the other hidden behind his famous mask). Pain, relief, gratefulness, sadness, love...love ? Uh. Don’t get your hopes high. Love for his father, probably. 

He close the gap between you two and...Take you in his arms. 

You are stunned. It’s the first time he does that...Well, that’s not really true. There was once, on a mission long ago, where you got hurt pretty badly, where he carried you in his arms all the way to Konohagure. But it was different. He was trying to save your life. While here...His soft voice brings you back to reality : 

-It’s not because my pain seems greater that you cannot feel any. It’s not because you think I suffered more that I can’t feel bad for you. Please, stop. It’s not the first time you say something like that. You always put your own suffering away, because you think I had it worst than you and...

-But you had it worst than me. 

-Let me finish please (Y/N). Let me finish. 

His embrace tighten around you, and because of the height difference, your head buries itself in his chest. You can feel one of his hand caressing your back up and down soothingly...and your heart drop. Not because of the affectionate gesture from the man you loved, but because your father used to do that to you whenever you had a nightmare, or whenever you felt bad...You feel your tears welling up in your eyes, but resist. 

-I never saw you cry. Not even when you lost your friends, just like I did. Not even when you got tortured for months by a hostile village that wanted informations on Konoha. Not even when Minato-sensei, whom I know you considered your big brother died. Not even whenever your parents left Konoha, and you stayed behind. Not even in plenty of other occasions that should have take a toll on your mind. You never allow yourself to cry, because you think other people have it worst than you. I heard you that time, telling Naruto nothing in your life compared to his miserable childhood, though plenty of things do. You always think you’re not allowed to be sad...But you’re wrong. You went through a lot too. And even if you didn’t, you’re allowed to feel sorrow. It’s not because people suffered more, than your sufferings mean nothing. I wish you would understand that...Because seeing you swallowing all of your feelings down is killing me slowly. And please, please believe me, because you can’t even imagine how hard it is right now to tell you all of that. I’m not good with words...Never been. But for you, I’ll always make the effort...

What ? What was he saying ? You pull away from his embrace, so you could see his face, but he doesn’t let go off you completely. In the only eye you can see, there is so many different emotions...it makes your heart swell. 

-You just lost your father. I know how it feels. So let it go...let it all go...

Kakashi. He always had the right words to make you feel better. People thought he was just a nonchalant guy and all, but he was...Oh he was so much more. He was compassionate, nice, hilarious, passionate, faithful, he had principals that he’d never betray...He was the best. 

And as you thought about the fact that you would never see your father again, as everything truly sinked in, his arms around you gave you the opportunity, for the first time in your life, to weep. To truly cry, as you rarely did. Actually, the only time you did was with your mother, when you both felt your dad die...

Here, in your best friend’s arms, in the man you loves’ arms, you finally let go. 

You don’t know how long you two stay like that, in each others’ arms. You don’t know for how long you ball your fist in his shirt, wetting it with your tears, your face buried on his chest...Until finally, you calm down. 

****************

-Are you feeling better ?

-Yes Kakashi. Thank you. 

-It’s ok. Anything for the one I love. 

-...Uh ? What did you just say ? 

-Anything for the ones I love. 

-Oh...

Short silence. Your both sitting in front of the stone of heroes, your head on his shoulder, one of his arm around yours. He breaks the silence : 

-I lied. 

-Mm ? 

-I lied. Just now. I didn’t say for the oneS. I said for the one. 

Your heart skip a beat. What ? You find yourself speechless, for the first time in your life. You usually always have a witty or sarcastic answer (you got that from your wonderful mother). His arm around your shoulder twitch a bit, and you can hear his breathing stopping.  

-I...I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so forward. You must think I’m a dirty old man, after all you’re young and...Hum. I’m sorry. I just...I just want you to feel better. God. Sorry I’m such a fool. I...when you’re around it seems I can’t formulate coherent thoughts. 

What was he saying ? You were confused. How could it be ? Was he...Was he in love with you ? The loss of his warmth alarm you, and you realize he’s slipping away from you. He’s already on his feet apologizing profusely to you, about to leave...but you’re not about to let him. You raise too. 

-Wait ! Don’t be sorry. 

-No really, I am. I...I don’t know what got into me I...

-Don’t be sorry, because I want the one I love too feel good too...

-Uh ? 

-...I...I always kinda had a crush on you, Kakashi. I guess in recent years, it turned into...more than that. 

In an instant, all trace of worry disappear from his face, to be replaced by relief. And something else. Love. Love, for you. Not for his father. 

He brush a few fingers on your cheek, awkwardly, and you both just stand there, in front of each other, not really knowing what to do next...You decide to take the first step. Just like your dad would. Like Father, like Daughter...you just hoped that your first step wouldn’t end up being like his : with you being slapped by Kakashi. 

Slowly, making sure he can stop you whenever he wants, you raise a slightly shaky hand to his mask...You saw his face once, a long time ago, when you got badly hurt and he did CPR on you, but it was all blurry...Your heart raced at the mere thought of finally seeing what he looked like. 

He doesn’t stop you when you slip two fingers inside the mask, and slowly pull it down. 

His nose, his mouth, the little beauty mark he has bellow his lower lip...He’s handsomer than you imagined. 

He lets you do it. He even lets you take his headband off too, so that you could see his entire face. His eye holding the sharingan is close, and...It’s instinctive. You don’t think. You just do it. You feel the urge to kiss it. His scar. 

You go on your tip-toes, because he’s quite taller than you, and, hands on each side of his face, he bends his head slightly, automatically as well. 

Your lips on the side of his forehead, where the scar begins, make him shiver. Your second kiss, a bit more down the scar sent his arms to wrap themselves around you. The third time your lips comes in contact with his scar, it’s on his eyes, and he sighs contentedly. The fourth is on his cheek...the fifth dangerously close from his mouth...

He cannot stop himself. His arms are around you and bring you flushed against his body, as his mouth find yours. 

The kiss is sweet and full of promises. He understands you, and you get him. It has always been the case. 

The kiss is passionate and full of love. If your father could see you right now, he probably wouldn’t say “you’re a bad flirt”, but “Good job my little one, good job...now Hatake, get away from my daughter”. The thought makes you smile in the kiss, and you feel suddenly better than you have in the past month since your dad passed away. 

Kakashi always had the right words to make you feel better. And apparently, his tongue wasn’t just good to speak...damn he was a good kisser. 

Finally, you pull away from each others, and he utters those three magical words you longed to hear from him : 

-I love you (Y/N), and after I kiss you again, I’ll tell you one more time, I’ll tell you how much I’ve loved you for a long time, how I feared you’d think I was too old, how I craved your presence, running “accidentally” into you often on your days off, how...how many things. I just love you. 

-I love you too Kakashi...So much...

He kisses you again, more eagerly than before if that was possible, and the way his hands caress your body makes you think of something...you blush at the thought, but you have to say it. It would be what you father wanted. Most definitely, damn that man was...well, nothing but awesome. 

You pull away from Kakashi, and he groans, trying to catch your mouth with his again, but you speak before he can : 

-Oh, which makes me think...In case anything would happen to my father he...He prepared a few things for me to take care of. 

-Uh ? 

-He...He gave me his notes for his next book. For some reasons, he wanted me to continue his work. To write the next icha-icha paradise. I said yes of course...I wasn’t really expecting him to be gone so soon though...What I mean is, now, with you, I have one more reason to continue his book. To finish it. According to him, I’m quite a decent writer...

Kakashi’s face illuminates, a large smile spreading across his features, and he takes you in his arms again, kissing you a bit roughly. When he pulls away, cupping your cheeks lovingly with his hands, it’s to say : 

-I knew you were the one. I just knew it. I love you, (Y/N). Now and forever. 

FIN. 

PS : It’s shit isn’t it ? Erf. Well I tried. Sorry it’s so long as well. I wanted to write something with Kakashi so bad that it might not be of the best quality...Well. Yeah. I tried. Sorry. As you can see, I was very unsure about that one...mainly cause I usually write about Marvel or DC characters so you know...anyway, THANK YOU FOR READING UNTIL HERE.
