I should go sleep but there's apparently an itch only Servamp can scratch right now so I'll tend to that first, and y'all have to hear me ramble. Also, spoilers. And rambly, it's past midnight. I'd out a read more but, I'm on my phone, sorry.
I really, really wonder who put Kuro there in the alley. Is it someone we know? Someone we have yet to meet?
The most immediate guess would be Tsubaki, but I highly doubt that. He is trying to revive Sensei, yes, but I don't think he's been part of the whole plan; he seemed to devastated when Kuro killed Sensei, and in general, his whole demeanor doesn't scream "I am in on all of this" to me. He wants Sensei back, and also he's angry af that Sensei died in the first place. Additionally, if Tsubaki had known about Mahiru's planned involvement, he'd have informed Sakuya to stay away from Mahiru.
Like, Tsubaki's Whole Thing is Loyalty and Not Betraying His Subclass. Which explains his anger at Kuro (for betraying the Creator alongside just killing him), but more importantly, he would not have allowed Sakuya to get hurt like that. He would've made sure none of his Subclass befriend Mahiru.
So, Tsubakyun is out. So are Freya, Ildio, and Hyde, because they voted against killing Sensei, which would have foiled the whole plan. Lily is also out, or else he wouldn't have been Broken like this, because he would've worked with Tsubaki in general. Jeje... Is technically on Tsubaki's side right now, but he doesn't seem to enjoy it much, so I'm gonna go ahead an claim it's not him, either; he's just going along with Mikuni (who is out because he's less than 100 years old, and because I suspect he only chose to join Tsubaki later on, bc otherwise he wouldn't have made Jeje kill a Melancholy Subclass). Gear was waiting for Kuro, so he's out, too.
It could be someone new, but considering how close we are to the presumably final showdown against Tsubaki, it'd feel a little late to introduce someone that important completely new. Unless, I guess, the plot has Tsubaki succeed at least partially, so that Sensei is at least somewhat revived and he takes the Main Villain position, but even then... Eh.
Which leaves us two main options.
1) Hugh. He's the only Servamp with no clear "alibi", and a lot of his stuff was planned from the start, hence the lack of contract with Tetsu (which, Hugh, bro, you SENT THAT KID INTO BATTLE AS A NORMAL ASS HUMAN!). Plus, while the rest of the Yes-Group wasn't too thrilled about being a vampire (Jeje wanted Kuro to KILL him, Lily iirc also said he didn't ask to be saved in an earlier flashback, and Kuro grieved his village and had no control over his powers), Hugh seemed pretty chill about it. Though he really SHOULD have reason to have issues - Gear says things "stabilized around the third Servamp" (and Jeje clearly still has problems, even though I still think that Mikuni's mom was lying about being influenced by Jeje without even having a contract, his former Eves are a different matter), so considering Kuro and Jeje, Hugh should have Issues, too (maybe that's another reason to not form a real contract). So maybe Sensei offered Hugh a way to Solve those issues in exchange for Hugh playing along with the plan. The hands didn't look like Hugh's, but he has more than enough Subclass that could've put the kitty there.
b) A human family. Someone's ancestor could've made a deal with Sensei, kitty Kuro would've been passed down through the generations, until someone could place Kuro there. Probably someone from C3, that is a family business for most people anyway, and well, the organization founded by Sensei asking the Servamps to kill Sensei, would just make sense if other parts of the plan were also in their hands. Then the question is just which family. We can probably exclude the main-ish ones (Tsurugi's, Yumi's, Jun's, Shuuhei's). I don't remember much of C3, really gotta reread (and get my heart ripped out again...), but I'd also say Toma's family is not involved, there's enough going in without that, despite Toma's bonus plan.
But well, excluding some doesn't answer the question if who it could be. Sendagayas, maybe? Indirect ties to C3, and it'd explain why Hugh ended up there instead of anywhere else, but I honestly can't imagine Tetsu's parents to be involved there. I forgot how much we know about Izuna's family outside if her and Shuuhei being childhood friends, I think, so I guess they'd be an option - Not Izuna herself, of course, but maybe a parent or an older sibling. Would also help getting her and Freya back into the story, Tanaka Strike! (I miss my wolf lady)
Idk I'm just throwing thoughts at Tumblr to see if they're al dente, i have no idea which is more likely.

Madrid's been cute!! Here's the gist since my last entry:
- Passed with A's and one B (in Physics... so pissed about that fucking final. A 77 ???? REALLY?? Whatever)
- Picked my friend up from the fair one day and took her back to her friend's place and they're rich as FUCK I just need to mention that
- Got a speeding ticket on the way to see Scorpio 3, 300 dollars but it was worth (I will be fighting the ticket in court LOL)
- Family hosted a little party, got to see my cousins and all their kids since they have families and whatnot, very fun :D My friend met them all too! So that was nice
- Got a haircut, almost cried when this guy shaved a part of my hairline but I lived (narrowly). Refilling my PREP that day was also a mess, and I spent about an hour to get a COVID test only to end up not needing it in the end LOL
And as far as MADRID has gone.... there's a lot to say
- The flight was alright, we got there ahead of schedule. There was a huge line at the airport but, again, we survived
- Day 1 was cute, I walked around with my parents and then tried to find a gym (went to one, the clerk was really nice and showed me around but the hours were too limited)
- Went on a date with a really nice boy too, an opera singer from Ecuador (if I'm remembering right...)
- Day 2 was where the fun started LMFAO
- I went to a bathhouse (my first one!) at like 6 AM, it was cute and fun! Calmed my nerves about going to them, even though I didn't even end up having sex with anyone LOL
- Later that day we went on a segway tour and my dad broke his thumb, I went to a music concert promptly following (they didn't let me tour the school :( )
- After that I went to a hookup, that was nice for the most part! We went to a sauna after but I didn't really want to be there so I ended up leaving
- Day 3 was cute, I woke up before my family for breakfast, then we ended up going to a city a little further north of Madrid
- In summary, we went to a basilica, walked around to the abbey of said basilica and then went to eat. Promptly got pissed at my dad for eating my food before heading to the monastery and doing a tour. We went back to the hotel after that
- I knocked out while my parents went to a concert, I woke up at 12 and here I am!
- Called Scorpio 3 and we caught up, and he said he misses me :') That made me giddy jeje
So yesss Madrid's been nice :D

you mentioned in a comment on a supercorp fic (i feel like a stalker, yikes) that you got in contact with darren doyle and he gave you some tips on using kryptahniuo, the sentence structure, the krius thing, etc.. would you mind sharing them? because i feel like i've sucked all available resources dry, and as a huge kryptonian nerd, i'd really appreciate it! (ofc, feel free to ignore me and pretend like this never existed if i'm intruding or unknowingly acting like a jerk.)
Okay, soooo, this is all from 3 years ago and I don’t have the best way to make myself clear when talking to people, but I’m gonna put here the things that are relevant and cut out my cringey communication. This is also for anyone who writes and would like to know a lil bit more about the language, or just people who enjoy conlangs. The vocab is over at kryptonian.info, but this is a clearer explanation of some things I had a bit of trouble with.
It’s pretty long though, so strap in.
Here we go:
Me: I was kind of having a hard time trying to figure out what the present form of zhao would be since it already ends with an 'o' and the present suffix is 'odh', I wanted to say 'I love you' with zhao , and on your page I could only find the ukiem sentence. Would it be zhaodh? And how would the full sentence be? What about shovuh, would it be shovuhodh?
Doyle: Sweet! I'm glad to help (I only wish the writers of the show would help instead of butchering the grammar ... and pronunciation)
Ok ... give me a moment to work on this...
Ok ... /zhao/ ... this doesn't end in /o/ (as in go) it ends in /ao/ (as in cow) which is a different vowel. Even if it did, though, you would still go ahead and use the /odh/ suffix. Two vowels in a row in Kryptonian is going to be super rare (pun intended), but in those cases Kryptonian phonetics will use a slight "w" sound to separate the vowels.
So ... it would be /zhaoodh/which would be 3 characters in Kryptonian writing: zh + ao + odhSo, your sentences would be: /zhaoodh (khuhp) w rraop/ and /shovuhodh (khuhp) w rraop/The subject is optional
Also, this is a sentence that would likely be gendered (familiar and/or intimate speech)
So, "I (female) love you (male)." would be: /zhaoodh (khap) w rrup/
BUT
Let's talk about informal speech, because the I love you stuff gets weird ...
zhao and shovuh are primarily nouns, but at some point they got codified as type 1 verbs (taking suffixes)... and grammatically (especially formal writing) type 1 is kind of the "proper" way to use them. But in day-to-day speech, these usually get treated as type 2 verbs (no suffix)
I should back pedal briefly and say that all this applies to /ukiem/ (familial love) ... and actually to /:jev/ (n. happiness, joy) with /:jevodh/ meaning essentially "like" or "enjoy"
So anyway, the informal variant ends up as something like /zhao w rrup/ (you would almost never use the subject with the type 2 forms of these words) Total side topic ... (hope I'm not overwhelming you here) ...
Since type 2 verbs mark tense with a vowel change, there is an interesting result with /zhao/ ... since the past and future versions end up being /zha/ and /zhi/ respectively which also just happen to be the words for "yes" and "no" which also act as augmentative and diminutive markers...
It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation as it's unclear if the "will love/did love" meanings gave rise to the "yes/no" meanings or if the existing "yes/no" words guided the vowel shift as /zhao/ went from noun > v1 > v2
Me: Okay, first, in the verb section of your page you say that not using a suffix creates the potential form of the verb, yet there is a prefix, kai, for potential, so if someone were to ask 'can you do...' say, 'can you speak/say this' would it need the prefix and then the present suffix, or just not use either. Like, would it be 'ta-kai-ehworodh rraop w [thing]' or 'ta-kai-ehwor' or just 'ta-ehwor' or is all of that completely dumb and I totally misunderstood everything? (I'm also not sure when I should and shouldn't use the hyphen) And the second is simpler, I guess: going by 'us-kah' as like a petname for your child, would the same apply to a parent, such as saying 'jeju-te' in sort of the same way kids say 'mommy' and not just expressing relationship. And could that apply to a person's name as well? Like, idk if that works in english, but say you have a nickname for someone and then you say 'that's MY [nickname]', (I do that for my aunt in portuguese, which is why I'm asking)
Doyle: Dang ... the "suffixless form of the verb forms the potential" is actually a holdover from an idea when I first started making the language that eventually got abandoned. Thought I removed references to it, but I missed that I guess.
Hyphens are just there to help show the morpheme breaks when explaining the language. If you are just writing Kryptonian, then you wouldn't use them at all.
so /?takaieworodh rraop ki kryptahniuo/ would be correct
Ok ... the "familial-possessive-honorifics" ...
They kind of act like an honirific (Mr., Mrs., Sir, Ma'am, Señor, Señorita, San, Sama etc.)
They attach using the proper noun punctuation...
So ... Kal-El => /kal,ehl/
Mr. Kal-El => /kal,ehl,jran/
(I'm not related it Kal-El)
Let me start over on that last one
I am talking to you about Mr. Kal-El, I would say ...
* (neither of us is related to him): /kal,ehl,jran/
* (I am related to him, but you aren't): /kal,ehl,te/
* (we are both related to him): /kal,ehl,kah/
* (I am not related to him, but you are): /kal,ehl,ni/
* (Neither of us is related to him, but we are talking about someone who is related to him and that relationship is pertinent to the conversation): /kal,ehl,cheh/
So in that sense, these are honorifics ... they are more formal, not less
so ... us,kah for a child probably wouldn't end up being a pet name
and it means "our" child ... so even less likely in that sense (us,te would be "my child")
and it uses the less intimate gender-neutral form
wait ... scratch that ... /us/ is masculine (derp derp)
so, a more likely candidate for a pet name for your child would probably be /us kir/ (little boy) or /is kir/ little girl
you could also do something clever like /krius/ or /kriis/ (that second word would be pronounced "kree-yees") ... borrowing the "bright" prefix and applying it to the child noun
For Kryptonians that wouldn't have as much of the meaning that an English speaker would assign to "bright" (smart, clever, etc), but more of a sense of "joyful", "pleasant", "you-light-up-the-room" kind of sense.
An English equivalent to /krius/ would be something like when you refer to someone as "my little ray of sunshine"
getting back to your actual question ...  
/jeju,te/ and /ukr,te/ would also be more formal. Kids (especially older kids) would be expected to use this form in public when addressing parents
but at home it would probably be just /jeju/ and /ukr/
for the very youngest kids, /jeje/ would be "mommy", and /uku/ (or even /kuku/) would be "daddy" ... but, unlike some dialects of English (especially in the Southern states), those variants wouldn't last very long as kids would be encouraged to use /jeju/ and /ukr/ as their speech developed
So ... ummm ... I'm not sure if I've answered your actual question ... if I have, I may have indicated the opposite... Kryptonians would remove the "my" on a petname ... does that sound right ... hmmm ... thinking about it
Shoot ... I guess I don't really know how to give you a solid answer on that one. Pet names can be funny things, I think ... because even in English I can see formal titles being absorbed as "cute" ... like having a little fluffy dog that you pick up and in a cutesy voice call "Sir Snuggles"
so ... armed with the info for "normal" speech/grammar ... pick whatever feels right to you!
Me: The first I wanted to ask is if 'Awuhkhu zhadif khap w rrip' is correct for 'I'll never leave you'
And the second I tried to make it out, but the result looked weird so I was just very unsure about (while the other I'm a bit more confident about) so how would 'please don't leave me' be, cuz 'please don't' is a full prefix, right? so it'd be 'please don't' prefix + leave + present suffix and then the pronoun separately. By that logic it'd be 'sozhaoawuhkhodh khap' is that correct?
Now there's actually a third one that I don't even know where to begin (mostly because I didn't try too hard) but I wanted to know would you say the sentence 'she left me alone' or 'my mother left me alone'?
Doyle:
/.awuhkhu zhadif khap w rrip/ ... yep, that's correct!  
/sozhaoawuhkhodh khap/ ... yep, that's right too
or you might go with the future tense, especially if those two sentences are going together
/sozhaoawuhkhu khap/
actually ... whoops... /khap/ is the object of the sentence...
/sozhaoawuhkhu w khap/
Let's see for "she left me alone", I would use the malefactive and the past tense of "to go" (which I just realized wasn't in the dictionary - doh!).
So ... let's see... go+past-perf she w me mal.
hmmm... alone, though ...
cause/PST she be/PRS me w alone ki go/PST/PRG ... ?
/podh zhehd nahn khap w chahvymah ki rrosh/ (that last verb wouldn't take a suffix, derp) ... "She made me alone by going" ... hmmm...
You could always just use /podh zhehd nahn khap w chahvymah/ ... she cause me to be alone ... that's probably the closest to the English 
So that’s it, so much information that I thought it was actually a longer convo

VOLTRON ASK GAME
I was tagged by the sweetheart @kunfetti and since I’m currently working IT’S THE BEST TIME FOR THIS <3 yey procrastination!
How did you discover the show?
I follow an user that’s a fan of 19 days like me, then at the beginning of last year they started reblogging klance content, and since I recently had started paying for netflix, I decided to check what the fuss was about lol. Dare I say now I’m trapped and they aren’t anymore, a classic.
Was it love at first sight or did it take you a while to get into the show?
The fanarts caught my attention immediately. Since I remembered having heard of Voltron in my first years of life I was curious, but never expected that much. It caught me AT ONCE, I binge-watched the first 3 seasons in one or two days... and here I am, lol.
Do you have a favorite episode?
My favs used to be the ones dedicated to the Balmera, but now? After s6? I’m not even sure. D&D (M&M actually) has my heart, as a role player, but The Black Paladins is just... oof.
Do you have a favorite Paladin?
You can see him in all my profile pics. My Beef Keef, my adopted son. But let me tell you, it’s only because I have a thing for loners, but having a fav here is IMPOSSIBLE, I love them all. One reason this show caught me so fast was because there’s not a single character I dislike, and that’s a FEAT, I swear. 
Do you have a favorite Lion? (If it’s different from your fave Paladin, why?)
Uhhh same rule, I like my rebelious son (daughter? I still don’t know) Red. I like how this Lion just says... “Oh you need me right now? Yeah... take a seat, I’m napping.” But when it’s set to something, BOOM. (Lowkey I wish for a “The Red Paladins” episode too :P)
Do you have a favorite villain?
Ok I was always convinced that the real final boss would be Haggar, but even though I love her, my fav is Lotor. The purple goblin has my undying love, even though I knew his betrayal was coming, I think the show went a bit overboard with his sins. BUT A MOTHER ALWAYS FORGIVES, COME BACK SON! <3
Do you have a favorite Alien Race (Recurring and/or minor)
The Olkari are my favs! They are just so smart and their entire civilization is based in such a cool philosophy.
Favorite side/other character(s) - Rebels, Generals, Blade of Marmora, Garrison, etc?
Matthew Holt can steal my lunch and eat it in front of me and I would thank him. Coran is my sweetheart and also I find him 10/10 would smash, you can judge me all you want.
How/Why did you join the fandom?
I was living a very stressful period when I was introduced to Voltron and I think that made me embrace it so much, it was a relief. Honestly, I’ve been in many fandoms in my life, but I have NEVER been this invested in them. This one just blew me over, so much gorgeous art, and fics! I wasn’t even a fic reader before... And then this is the fandom that made me start writing too. I don’t even know “how” I joined, but somehow I made it my home haha.
Care to share your favorite headcanon?
Oh geez, I have a lot, and most of them I’ve put them in my fics. This one has to do with ships but here it goes anyway: one of my favs is that Shiro used to be a popular, jokester kind of guy at the Garrison, and no one ever imagined that he carried a torch for Matt, who was so nerdy, but enthusiast and pure. Of course, Shiro being our lawful good paladin would never say such a thing when they had a mission ahead (and with his dad on board, yikes). Ok another one, crack this time: I like to imagine that they ALL wear the Lion slippers and sometimes they make them “fight” under the table and then deny it lol. 
What do you think is the best part of the show?
The characters. They are so... alive, their dynamics feel so real. That’s why the fandom is so passionate, I guess. Besides that, the art is just gorgeous, the storyline perfect and that feeling of being in space is conveyed so well, it opens your head. I’m sure that’s the reason this fandom is so prosperous in the fanfic department, it opens the door to imagine ANYTHING. Anything can happen in space.
Any hopes and wishes for future episodes/seasons?
My god if you know me you know I have a lot. I’m still on the klance train and I’m not leaving any time soon lol, but I could stand good allurance too. Also high hopes for shatt. Aside from ships, I wish to see Honerva’s arc, we don’t know what she pretends, why was she accepted by Oriande. My guess? She may try to change the course of everything from the PAST, and that’s why we were introduced to time skipping in the Quantum Abyss. DUN DUN DUUUUN... (that’s the premise for Ouroboros, my fic btw. Spoiler alert lol).
Do you think you’ll stick it out until the end of the show?
Hell yeah, I’m following this mess until its bitter end. Live with honor or die in glory!
Well I’m supposed to tag people, but I see that the few I speak to already did it, so I’m tagging a few followers that I know are NOT leaving the fandom lol. Hope you don’t mind guys, don’t feel forced to do this if you don’t want! @hook-737 @procrastinating-through-life, @gayromanticsubplots and any follower who wants to, feel invited by me and tag me! :D En español también vale chiquillos jeje!

28 December 2017
A few nights ago, I was finishing up rereading my favorite book (for the nth time). I love finding new hidden passages to love. With 2017 winding down to a close, reflecting has been enlightening. Even though I spent a fair amount of time this year putting an enormous amount of effort into a bad relationship that left me exhausted, (heart)broken, and feeling all other kinds of horrible!!! emotions, it all needed to happen. While Vonnegut meant this highlighted passage for times of war, I think that it applies to vulnerable people in other situations as well. People without personal power are lost and always looking for something to cling onto. This can leave them trying with every ounce in their heart to prove to a willfully deaf and blind enemy that they are interesting to hear and see. One-sided relationships are easy to come across, but not easy to spot before it’s too late. This year I spent about 5 months (honestly probably more, this is a very generous guestimate) trying with every dying ounce of energy in my heart to get someone to like me. It felt like I was fighting for attention up until the very day that it ended (even after it ended!). i’d never wanted anything so badly (not even sure why?). I did everything I could, but none of it was enough for that person. But, here’s the thing, I eventually realized that I wasn’t the problem. The problem isn’t that I wasn’t ___ enough to acquire his love, affection, attention, etc. The problem was that I spent so much time trying to prove to a willfully deaf and blind enemy that I was interesting to hear and see. We could have all of the signs in the world that someone isn’t as interested as you are, but emotional people choose to block out what they don’t want to see/accept. You think, if I do this, then bam! he’ll realize how awesome I am and will love me unconditionally! maybe this will do it! It can feel like a game. The smallest nice gesture, attention, affection, etc. is the prize. But honestly no person that doesn’t already show you love and affection is worth all of this effort! The more effort you put into a one-sided relationship, the more feelings will linger about it in the end! The end of our relationship was certainly not the end of my feelings for him, and my feelings now are still very complicated. But to be quite honest none of those feelings matter or will ever matter if the love isn’t reciprocated. It’s not your fault. The point is, they are “blind” and “deaf”, they just aren’t wired to see all of the great things in you. But those great things still exist, their opinion or validation does not create or destroy any of those qualities. Like I said, all of this needed to happen to me. I was once a person lacking personal power, seeking for someone to validate and make me feel powerful (fallacy). But now, I am (working on) finding all of the power in myself. I’m still healing, and I’ve made enormous progress. To think, at one point in the near past, I thought that I would never feel any emotion besides sadness ever again. I’m no where near being completely healed. I’ll never know when the last panic attack I have thinking about it will be, but I have hope that it will come. Being at home is helping me heal, being with my mom is helping me heal, reading and rereading books is helping me heal, being around people I love is helping me heal. All of the new experiences ahead of me will help me heal. And I know for certain that I will never willfully waste my time trying to prove myself to anyone without good intentions. Even though I spent some/most of 2017 on this dumb boy, I also did so much more!!! Some of the happiest moments in my life were this year. In the grand scheme of things, my heartbreak is just one drop in the ocean of moments in my lifetime. I’d like to think that Billy Pilgrim and I share the same, kind heart. 
so it goes. 
Leyendo mi libro favorito otra vez siempre me da paz. El fin del año me deja reflejar en todo lo que he pasado. Aunque pasé mucho del año preocupándome por alguien que ni me quería, no lo sabía en el tiempo. Pasé mucho tiempo tratando de probar a un chico que yo era alguien especial, no me dejo con nada más de sufrimiento. Me da mucho gusto ver a todos los momentos en 2017 que no contuvieron a él. Mi vida en esta relación fue 5 meses en los tantos años que voy a vivir. Este año viajé en México en el verano, fui a un festival de música con mis amigas, pasé otros semestres en la universidad, me preparé para ir a España, y muchísimo más. No puedo escribir todas las cosas buenas que me pasaron este año. Puedo pasar toda mi vida pensando en el chico que no me podía querer, pero es un gasto de tiempo y energía. Puedo pasar toda mi vida obsesionada con todo lo mal que me ha pasado y va a pasar, pero tampoco me interesa. Prefiero dar toda mi amor y energía a los que quiero y las cosas que quiero. Prefiero mejorarme con lo que puedo. Estar en casa por estas dos semanas antes de que me vaya a Valla (jeje) me está curando. Voy a seguir leyendo, relajando, y preparando para mi aventura :-)

Can you make a Servamp age au drabble for Mikuni and Jeje please???
Ahhh, this ask has been sitting in my inbox forever - I hope you didn’t think I forgot!! I ended up giving their first meeting a great deal of thought and decided to go that route for these two. Hence why it ended up being a longer than normal drabble~ 
@crazyanime3 It’s here!! Let me know if there’s anything you want me to fix. Your AU gives me life, have I told you that lately??
Title: Nice to Meet YouRating: G, family fluff time~Characters: Jeje, Mikuni, Misono, LilySummary: Age AU. First impressions are often incorrect. And some? Some are ridiculously accurate.
The new experience finally settling in, Misono grabbed onto his big brother’s hand. None too gentle as he held on. “It’s okay,” his brother soothed, “you’re going to like it here.” In return, Misono puffed out his cheeks, not agreeing to anything. It earned him a poke to the cheek as Mikuni laughed, “So quick to disagree. And we’re not even there yet!”
The Alicein household was well-respected in the community. Throughout the years, they had helped expand the housing developments and made impossible projects into possibilities. Their name was both loved and cursed in equal measure. Since every good deed had its demerits, as every law had a shining ray hope.
Needless to say, the heir apparent of the family had a few problems of his own with them. For one, they never had enough time to be just that - a family. His father was always off to some business venture, and often times his mother was lost in her own reverie. He missed the days where she would sit combing his hair for hours, simply content to be in his presence and letting the repetitive motions ease their worries. He wasn’t sure when it changed.
No, that was a lie. It had started exactly three years ago, those gradual changes that now befell their family. His father, staying away from home as long as he could. His mother, retreating into herself. Both refusing to acknowledge the elephant in the room as it cooed up the new big brother that he had become.
Oftentimes, in the early days, he wasn’t sure what to make of the tiny bundle swathed in blankets in the crib. He knew it was strange, that his mother wasn’t the one who brought the baby home. That it shouldn’t have been his father to show up with it, marching into the house one rainy evening, clinging tightly to a small babe as tears rolled down his face. There were many unspoken things that lay buried now since that day. All of them turning a blind eye and accepting the babe into their fractured family. As if doing so would fill a void that had formed. A gaping hole that looked back at them every day, taunting them with what ifs and could have beens.
Funny that he couldn’t blame the child for any of it, not when the first word that his little brother said was, “Mi-kun.” Only a little bit off from his name and ever the more endearing for it. With a smile and delighted laugh, he corrected with a deliberately slow, “Mi-ku-ni. Come on, Misono, you can do it!”
The baby scrunched up his nose and folded his arms, huffing as he turned his head away and ignored his big brother’s attempts. “Aww, don’t be like that,” Mikuni insisted as he ruffled the other’s hair, which earned an eep of disapproval and a wildly swung arm aimed at his face. “Careful! What will your new friends think if you’re mean to them on your first day?”
Misono tilted his head, not understanding. Not that Mikuni could blame him; having been sheltered from the world, it was only natural that he didn’t know what friends were or what a first day of anything meant. Every day was the same here. Every boring day. At least Mikuni had school to alleviate the boredom, but Misono had none of that. Stuck with seeing the same faces every day and every night.
It was with much persistence that he had talked his father and mother into giving the daycare down the street a chance, rather than relying on the overworked nanny that looked more frazzled by the day. In his excitement to see his little brother’s world expand, he had taken the honors of helping him get dressed that morning. Misono didn’t seem to like all of the ribbons he had used to make the ensemble cuter, but they were tied too well to be undone. Of that, he was smug in his victory.
“Time to go!” he cheered, picking the little one up and hoisting him onto his shoulders. “Onwards to the new adventure!”
Giving a shriek, Misono grabbed onto his brother’s hair as he took off running, burying his face into the golden locks. For it wasn’t until they were almost there that Mikuni gave a thought to slowing down. Shifting out from behind his brother’s hair, Misono caught a glimpse of the building up ahead and quickly hid back behind the curtain of gold. It was too different from what he was used to - a leap in a completely different direction.
It was a modest daycare center, humble in its origins and lackluster in its appearance. Bland, someone would say. Still, it was a nice enough of place with an even nicer staff. Mikuni had made sure of it with a charming smile that did half the talking for him. He wouldn’t have left his little brother anywhere that didn’t meet his standards.
“Now then.” He crouched down and urged Misono to slide off his shoulders, tiny feet hitting the pavement for the first time. “Let’s go make you some friends.”
The new experience finally settling in, Misono grabbed onto his big brother’s hand. None too gentle as he held on. “It’s okay,” his brother soothed, “you’re going to like it here.” In return, Misono puffed out his cheeks, not agreeing to anything. It earned him a poke to the cheek as Mikuni laughed, “So quick to disagree. And we’re not even there yet!”
Once inside, it was a sudden struggle to walk as Misono attempted to hide behind him again, pulling his hand as far back as it would go. “Eh, Misono, Nii-san kind of needs that hand …” So saying, he began to pull his hand away. He had to sign them in, after all, or they would both be going nowhere fast. He also had to take out his school id and show that to the awaiting receptionist. All the while aware that his little brother had attached to him like a sea urchin.
“We have to say goodbye soon,” he reminded Misono, taking up his hand once more. “But for now, I’ll walk you down to meet your new friends and teachers!”
It was nothing like the tutors that had been hired for their home or even the careful nanny that had raised them from mere diapers. The place was alive with a buzzing stream of chatter. Colorful and decorated in all manner of creations that the children had a hand in making.  A place as warm and welcoming as their own home was cold and daunting.
He gave Misono’s hand one last squeeze and then urged him into the room that had been assigned to him, patting him on the head as he crouched back down. “Well, time for Nii-san to head to school. Be good for your teacher, okay? I’ll be back to pick up before you know it!”
Misono didn’t seem to hear the parting words, though, already looking about the room in quiet fascination. His eyes were practically sparkling at the sight of other kids in the room. As strange as it all was, there was a sense of excitement here that even he had been swept up in. And Mikuni found he was probably the sadder one for having to leave.
Giving a half-hearted wave, already forgotten, he headed towards the door. He had lowered his head with a sigh, dissatisfied with that goodbye, and he didn’t see the person who had just stepped into the room. It ended with a collision and a crying child that he was quick to try and console, fluttering about like a butterfly, worried he had done something irreparable.
The person with the child, tall and lanky and covering most of his face with his hair, stopped the fretting by holding out his hand to the child - to which the little blond took with a sniffle and another woeful look directed at Mikuni. “Lily,” mumbled the newcomer, “my fault.”
“No! It isn’t! Jeje-nii was looking where he was going, but this -”
“Lily,” Jeje cut off the rant with a shake of his head, “accidents happen.” Leaving it at that, they tried to go around Mikuni, but he wasn’t about to be dismissed so easily. Not when he hadn’t had his say.
“Excuse me,” he said, stepping in front of them with a quick two-step, “but if it is indeed your fault, then I am going to have to ask for compensation.” With a cheeky grin, he spread his arms open wide and said, “Why, I won’t ask for much. I was ~just~ wondering if Lily-chan wouldn’t mind helping out my little brother. You see, it’s his first day here. Would that be too much trouble?”
At the mention of someone new, Lily ran over to greet the only child that stood apart from the crowd, still unsure on how to approach anyone else. It worked like a charm, the bubbly little blond dragging Misono into the center of all the kids and introducing him to everyone.
Mentally patting himself on the back, Mikuni turned back to Jeje, ready to thank him for Lily’s help. The thanks that he had let rise to the tip of his tongue fell flat as soon as he saw the glare directed his way, unbridled anger fuming behind that sheet of black hair. He snickered and quickly covered it up with a hand, feigning ignorance. “Oh my, did I do something wrong?”
“Don’t use my brother for your stupid whims.”
It was Mikuni’s turn to bristle. Because Misono would never be a “stupid whim”. “Excuse me?” he repeated. “I think I must have misheard you. Are you calling me and my brother stupid now?” A grin too sharp to be believed made its way onto his face. “You must be confused. Or maybe you don’t know who we are? Mikuni Alicein, at your service.” He swept into a bow, and would have tipped his hat had he been wearing one. Unfortunately, that wasn’t a part of his school uniform. He made due by flipping his hair.
“And my little brother, Misono Alicein.” He gestured toward the circle of kids, all of whom were asking questions non-stop of the child in the middle. “Nice to meet you!”
Jeje mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like, “It’s not nice to meet you. Go die,” but instead of being offended, Mikuni found it refreshing. Different. Something unlike the usual reaction when someone met him for the first time. 
He had been expecting this to be an adventure Misono would have to take on his own. A world Mikuni would never be a part of, lost to half-truths and false impressions, but now - now he was wondering if he had a chance to start over, too.
Grinning from ear to ear, he promised Jeje, “We’ll surely be seeing a lot of each other from now on.”

Seven Kinds of Love
Characters: Mikuni, Tsurugi Ship: MikuTsuru Summary: Out of the seven kinds of love, Mikuni only believed in an handful of them. But Tsurugi came into his life and showed him love he never thought existed. 
Notes: This was supposed to have a drabble for each type of love. I started this a while ago but I lost all inspiration to finish this. I didn’t want to just throw this idea away so I’m posting this incomplete work.
The Greeks listed seven kinds of love a person could experience. They were Eros, Philia, Ludus, Pragma, Agape, Philautia and Storage. Mikuni only believed in three of them: Eros, the deadly lust that destroyed relationships; Philia, the platonic love you have for a person; and Storage, the natural love you can have for a child. The rest were nothing more than a farce to Mikuni.
Mikuni believed that until him.
“What are you doing sitting here, kid? You’re in the way.” He looked up to see a dark haired boy standing above him. Mikuni was huddled against a vending machine, using it to protect himself from the cold wind. JeJe hung around his neck and hissed at the boy but he didn’t appear to be frightened by his venomous glare. He only nudged Mikuni aside.
Mikuni held his lips in a stubborn line but stepped aside. The boy began to knock on the machine and Mikuni raised a brow at him. “You should go running home. Vampires comes out at night. Even if you offer me money to protect you, I don’t have time to save you. My night’s already booked with assignments.”
“Vampires don’t exist,” Mikuni said even though he knew the truth. He kept a watchful eye on the boy who continued to knock on the machine. His behaviour and how he casually spoke about vampires instantly made Mikuni cautious. “And I don’t need you to help me.”
“Where are your parents?” He asked but Mikuni refused to answer him. The boy gave him a glance before turning back to the vending machine. “Well, you look like a wet rat and smell worse so I’m guessing you ran away from home or something. I’m sure your parents must be worried about you. How much money do you think they’ll pay me if I return you to them?”
“Nothing.” Mikuni mumbled, hoping the boy would leave.
“So, you’re worthless too?” He said and Mikuni fists clenched. Was the man trying to start a fight with him? He turned a glare at him and the boy smiled. “You don’t like being called that?”
His stance shifted and Mikuni knew that he was about to attack him. Mikuni began to summon his Lead with the intention of restraining him. But he only turned and kicked the vending machine. The snacks inside shook and fell to the bottom. He took one and threw it towards Mikuni. 
“How did you?” Mikuni looked down at the simple snack and his stomach growled.
“That’s my little secret. It took me years to perfect my technique so I can’t just give it away.” He answered with a sly smile and Mikuni’s eyes narrowed because it was a transparent fake. Mikuni watched him gather the snacks into a bag before turning to him. He held out a hand to him, “Name’s Tsurugi Kamiya.”
“Mikuni,” he answered but didn’t trust him enough to give his full name. Mikuni took his hand, only intending to shake it. But he tightened his grip and pulled Mikuni forward. He was so shocked that he couldn’t react for a moment. “Wait, what are you doing?”
“Did you get the impression I was a nice guy?” Tsurugi looked over his shoulder at Mikuni. “I don’t do anything for free or out of kindness. But a kid like you probably won’t have any money so you’re going to help me with my assignments to pay me back. Even if you’re worthless, you can do something.”
“That doesn’t answer my question!” Mikuni dug his feet into the ground and forced Tsurugi to stop. His instincts told him not to trust Tsurugi and his actions were only reinforcing that. “Where are you taking me? I doubt you’re talking about a school assignment.”
“Very perceptive, Kuni-chan. You’re going to help me hunt down vampires. You see, I work for this organization called the C3.” Tsurugi explained the organization to him. Mikuni knew that vampires existed but didn’t know an organization like the C3 existed. “This shouldn’t sound too crazy to someone that carries around a Servamp like it’s a pet.”
Instinctively, Mikuni shook off his hand and summoned his Lead. Tsurugi’s expression didn’t change as he held up his hands. “Aren’t we a little kinky? But you should treat me to dinner before you try to tie me up with that thing. Now, don’t glare at me like that. The C3 are the good guys. We only want to protect humans.”
“Vampires and humans can live together—” Mikuni started to argue but the memory of his mother silenced him. He had grown up with vampires and knew how kind they were but his mother overwhelmed those memories now. Even if Lily’s subclasses were kind, not all vampires were.
“Why don’t you help me out tonight and see what we’re like for yourself?” Tsurugi suggested. “If you’re good enough to get a job, the C3 will pay for your room and meals.”
Mikuni thought over his offer for a moment. There was no doubt in his mind that Misono would eventually be drag into the world of vampires. If he could make that world a little better, he would know his brother was safe even if he could never see him again. With that thought, he turned back to Tsurugi. “I won’t agree to anything until I talk to whoever’s in charge and I doubt that’s you.”
“Of course I’m not. I get a lot more money of doing grunt work like killing vampires. But I can ask Tai-chan to get you a meeting with one of those higher ups. I’m sure a guy with a Servamp will be valuable.” Tsurugi walked ahead of him and Mikuni followed him.
I have this bad habit of posting work that I can’t finish. I just don’t like thinking I put some effort into a project and didn’t post anything to show for it.

Chaos in the Alicein household_Chapter 3
Jeje should have been happy that Mikuni was finally willing to let him drink his blood but it wasn't the case. He was shocked and confused, it was too sudden: why would he let him drink now of all times? It wasn't like his eve to be so impulsive, there had to be a reason. The blonde sighed seeing the servamp's internal conflict. He had expected him to jump on the occasion but apparently it wasn't that simple.
-"What are you hesitating about? I'm doing you a favor here you know." The blonde said in his 'sly and annoying' personality but there was something else behind it.
Jeje was still not moving so he concluded he would have to explain himself.
-"Look, I know it's always been complicated between us because of that incident- because of my mom's murder. But I also know that it's not something that could have been avoided. I wanted to hate you at first, but in the end I knew it wasn't your fault. If anything, it was mine. I should have anticipated she would try to kill Misono." 
Jeje was going to protest and say that no, his eve didn't do anything wrong but he was immediatly interrupted.
-"No, let me finish. I don't regret saving my brother, even if I had to kill my own mother to do so. I thought I would never be able to get over it, but coming back made me think. And I want you to know that I really appreciate all the things you did for me. It would have been easy for you to get rid of me, but you didn't. I was scared to let you drink my blood because I didn't want to be reminded of all that. I didn't want to accept the status of Eve of envy. And I know it's the same for you. You felt guilty for what happened too, and that's why we both couldn't move on. "
He walked to the servamp until he was only a few centimeters away from him and said, making direct eyecontact:
-"Let's do this together, Jeje. As real partners. Let's forgive ourselves and move on. I don't want to live in the past anymore. I don't want us to feel uneasy around each other anymore. I trust you, so please go ahead."
Jeje swallowed hard. He was trying to take in what Mikuni said. He was relieved that he was finally ready to try and live in the present but at the same time scared. It was extremly rare for him to feel that way, he was a vampire so there were very little things that could frighten him. Yet he found himself being frozen in place, not daring to do or say anything. Many thoughts were clouding his mind as he was trying to process what his eve meant. It was true that he had always felt like shit for what happened to this family, since it was his sin which had corrupted Mikuni's mother. The blonde often irked him to no end, and he would shoot at him in response most of the time. But he also knew he would never be able to hurt him and he regretted not being able to talk things through with him. He wasn't someone who talked much in the first place but considering their past it was even harder to get the words out. But there was something he was sure of. He would obey any of Mikuni's orders, even if he didn't agree with him. He wouldn't hesitate to kill for him, and he didn't want him to get hurt. Jeje cared for his eve and he was going to let him know. He extended his arm to take Mikuni's hand in his and gently pulled him forward. He put his other arm around his waist and whispered to his ear.
-"That would be great. Moving on, I mean. And... I'm glad... you talked to me about this."
He said that last part so quietly that it would have been impossible for Mikuni to hear him if he wasn't so close. He was surprised when the servamp suddenly brought him to his chest but didn't try to free himself since, as he said before, he trusted Jeje. He hugged him back and waited for him to bite and finally take his due but it never came. He looked up to see an uncertain and hesitating vampire.
-"Are you sure...about the blood?" The taller guy asked. They were both really not acting like themselves today, Mikuni noted. He only tugged at his collar in response. Jeje merely nodded before putting his head in the crook of his eve's neck. He didn't bite immediatly, he didn't want to risk hurting or scaring him. Once he made sure the blonde was ready, he gave a soft kiss to the place he was going to drink from, then pierced the skin with his fangs. Mikuni winced at the sensation but soon relaxed as it wasn't that painful. It just had been so long since last time that he had forgotten how it felt. He let Jeje drink to his heart content while enjoying their rare moment of affection. The black haired man stopped drinking after two minutes, then he licked the remaining blood off the wound. 
-"Already done?" Mikuni asked. He thought Jeje would want to take more now that he finally allowed him to. The vampire replied with a hum but didn't let go. He rather liked their proximity. Not that he would say that out loud, of course. Several minutes passed by and he was starting to wonder why his eve wasn't saying anything. He stared done at him and felt panick sprout in his chest when he saw the blonde unconscious. However, the soft and regular breathing indicated that he had just fallen asleep. 'Idiot', he thought, amused. 'Falling asleep like that isn't good.' He lifted him up and put him to bed. He covered him with a blanket and sat on the edge of the bed, watching him sleep for a while. After he made sure his eve would be alright, he quietly exited the room and went back to the livingroom. He saw Lily on the sofa, the latter looked like he was sewing or something. 
-"What are you doing?" He asked the other male. 
Lily greeted him with a big and cheerful smile and exclaimed:
-"Oh, Jeje! I'm fixing the children's clothes, Misono is currently playing with them. And Mikuni isn't with you?"
"He fell asleep." the servamp of envy simply replied. He understood the other vampire's surprise, the blonde and him were never too far away from each other. Because of the distance limitation, and because they were used to each other's presence. Lily smiled fondly at his brother. He and Mikuni were starting to change for the better, and it also seemed it was easier for them to interact now.
-"Well then, would you mind helping me ? It seems our eves won't be back before some time." He suggested. 
Jeje silently obliged and took a shirt from the pile of clothes. It wouldn't hurt to spend some time with Lily.
