special | payment

you stood. tapping the cashier counter, eyes locked onto your phone, counting the seconds till your shift was just about to be over. when he would come. and then..., that damned sound rang through your ears.

"uhh... can i get a... um..."

mondays at 4:57 pm

thursdays at 4:57 pm

saturdays at 2:27 pm

this customer always came at the exact same time on the same days of the week. coincidentally, you always had these shifts.

three minutes till closing, he would walk in, not seeming to know that you were just about to close up. and when you got annoyed, he looked shocked, boasting about who he was.

not to mention, he always took at least a minute thirty just to decide what he wanted. although, after about two months of seeing him and taking his order, he stuck to a certain drink. he didn't even have to finish his sentence before you turned around to whip up his order.

sighing, you grabbed a take-away cup from the station, went to the machine and began to add juice. once the cup was three-fifths of the way full, you added fizzy water till the contents hit just before the brim of the cup. picking up a lid and a spoon, you brought the drink to the counter, making sure to stir it seven times in front of him, per his request. popping the lid on and reaching down to grab a straw, you passed it over to the man.

punching the drink into the pad and taking his card for the transaction, you stopped.

PAYMENT DECLINED

"theres no fuckin way..." you muttered under your breath. "your card declined. it's either you call up the bank, try another card, or give me cash. one of those three or you're not getting this drink."

the man looked dumbfounded. "wha–what?? my card declined?! the arataki itto's card DECLINED?!?!?" you crossed your arms. "that's what i just said."

less than three seconds after, a group of people barged into the cafe. one carrying what looked like a heavy-ass camera, another lifting up a microphone, and a few were stationing a ring light on the floor. "arataki itto! it seems your card declined!"

"oh really now...? i never would've guessed...! wait "

"yes it does. be prepared to work here for three months, superstar! we got the footage we need. let's roll out everyone!"

you looked at itto and he looked at you. simultaneously, both of you stared at the retreating group.

"so... i guess i'm working here now! care to show me the ropes~?"

you packed up your bag and threw him the key to lock up.

"absolutely not."

—

"we're gonna keep you at the cashier... since we don't trust you with anything else." your co-worker, rosaria, explained. she was a bit late to her shifts but you didn't blame her, coffee shop work isn't the greatest. especially when you're working at a popular one like swirl. "it's simple, you take the order, put the order in, get the money, relay the order to us, and onto the next customer."

you nodded along to rosaria's words, adding along, "noelle here is in charge of waitressing. so..., you don't need to worry about her unless she's on her break. then, you'll have to become a waiter until she's off."

the jingle of the door alerted the group. you nudged itto's shoulder. "look. a customer...! get ready, itto."

the man walked up to the counter. "uh... good morning, can i have a uh... moonlit alley please? here you go." he handed over his card and itto took it. you, rosaria, and noelle were all watching in suspense as he slid the plastic into the machine. one too many times. looks like someone's having trouble...

"um... sorry sir, just a moment... psst! y/n! over here!"

finishing up the drink, you took a very deep breath before walking over to the cashier stand.

"what is it?"

itto waved the card between the two of you and pointed at the machine. "it's saying error! see!" he put the card into the device again and

"how the fuck do you put a card in wrong??"

—

just after a month and a half of working at swirl, it would be an understatement to say that itto has gotten accustomed. even though he mainly manages the cashier, he also waiters even when noelle isn't on break, and sometimes dabbles in making drinks...! not to mention, his looks and supposed "fame" has brought the cafe even more fame. recently, people have been coming just to look at him. they would order a simple drink and take a seat with the "perfect view" to watch that man work. more often than not, someone would try to ask him out but he would always decline with a sorry expression on his face.

one of these times, you needed to get an extra stock of caramel from the cabinets in the cashier counter. as he was rejecting someone, you took the metal bars in hand and bent down. itto felt your presence lower, so he held the ceramic part of the counter that you were most likely to hit. after retrieving the caramel and some cocoa paste just to be safe, your head hit his fingers instead of the hard-ass slab like you were expecting.

"thanks." you looked up at him, holding the jars in your arms tightly. "of course! wouldn't want to hurt that pretty little head of yours..." the customer watched the whole ordeal happen, and they came to a conclusion, especially after seeing itto's face after exchanging words with you or even seeing you. someone's got a crush.

—

"hey uhh... y/n?" you were busy tidying up the drink making station when you heard itto's voice. turning around to the cashier area—where he was—you put your hands on your hips. itto's card was stationed between his fingers, with a stupid smile on his face. you just knew he was going to say something dumb. "i'd like to make a purchase"

eyes squinting in confusion, you thought. he's been working the cashier for around three months now... i knew he was stupid but there's no way... "a purchase of what exactly...?"

"your love, of course!"

if there was one thing arataki itto knew how to do..., it's catching you off guard. snapping out of your daze after processing his request, you found yourself being the subject of his numerous pictures. "n/n! make that face again! you look so pretty like that! c'mon now! do it please~!"

in the midst of his praise and begging, you muttered something. "okay." at first, itto thought that it was for his collage, but your certainty made him realize. her love, i can get it.

his hands met your waist as he hoisted you up onto the counter, blubbering. "wh–what did you say?? do ya' really mean it?" seems he was more oblivious than you thought. thinking about the past three months, and all those memories that were filled to the brim of him, you arrived at your answer. crossing your legs, you nodded. "yeah. i mean it."

PAYMENT APPROVED

twelve ; alone in a darkroom

oh. he felt bad. so guilty. he knew that he shouldn't have done it, he shouldn't keep doing it, but it would've helped so much. now he can't stop. he cannot stop. that'd be a breach of contract, a phrase he picked up from you. why is he doing this?

itto slips into a hidden room in the place where the arataki gang frequents. it was red. a photographer's darkroom. his footsteps echoed throughout it. undeveloped pictures littered the top of the room, the sides, the tables. he lapped around the room, touching the photos one by one. plucking a few from their designated spots, he walked through another door, the white light contrasting with the red. it was all clear now, the wrong he was doing. itto pinned the pictures in empty spaces. his eyes circled the room, the feeling of dread washing over him as his eyes laid on every photo. every portrait of you. the mission was to make a fool of himself. even though he doesn't like to admit it, he was good at it. ran with the first idea he had thought of without thinking once of the consequences. just how stupid could he be?

'love makes you do stupid things', clearly. a normal person in love wouldn't do that. no, they wouldn't do this, he hasn't stopped.

that wasn't love. he's not in love. he doesn't deserve you. what does he have that he doesn't? he has a stable upbringing, he doesn't even know the ones who made him. he has international power, he has a group whose name doesn't reach outside narukami island. he made itto see all the flaws within himself, the flaws that he didn't care about, the ones he refused to acknowledge. ah. another word he got from you. it was really only you for him. but he can't have that. he can't have that.

- - -

"you're arataki..." the man in front of him spoke, pausing to look up at him "itto?"

itto thought that he looked like you. he had your smile, and your hair. it's like every prominent feature of yours, you got from him. except from your eyes, that is.

itto was visibly nervous. meeting his crush's father?! oh he just hopes that he won't mess it up...! "yessir!"

a pretentious laugh echoed through the room. "no need to be so nervous" he crossed his legs. "i have a little job for you."

the light that streamed from behind your father illuminated him. if itto wasn't thinking straight, he would've thought he was god. but i guess, he was never thinking straight

- - -

itto was crouched on the floor. pictures fell to the cold, hard floor. at times like this, he truly felt alone.

eleven ; appearance

"where the actual fuck did they go…?"

"wait okay, so you're telling me that itto AND y/n are LOST IN CHINJU FOREST."

yoimiya was freaking out. like screaming and crying– freaking out. venti was no better; he nearly dropped onto the ground and started rolling. the rest of them were silently holding a memorial for you and itto.

"our close friends, gone but never forgotten" kaeya closed his eyes and bowed his head in a silent prayer. childe did the same.

suddenly a yell rang out. "GUYS!! i think you'd want to look at this…"

running in the direction of heizou, who was scavenging for clues as to where the two went, the group stopped when they saw uprooted grass. "my intuition is telling me that they jumped off the cliff…" heizou brought a hand to his chin, thinking hard

"and why the fuck would they do that."

the crunch of dewy grass filled the space that the group inhabited. an unknown figure emerged from the haze of the forest, and everyone groaned. "hello again, everyone. i see some new faces so i suppose i'll reintroduce myself. i am takuya, y/n's fiancé."

"fiancé?! y/n has a fiancé??" xingqiu whisper-yelled towards chongyun, eliciting a shrug from the boy. aether and lumine were unaware of this as well but instead of caring, they crouched on the ground and made flower crowns for each other

venti's eyes rolled so hard they almost got stuck. "oh my god takuya, go away! we don't need your posh, stuck-up-ness right now!" the man in question laughed, contradicting his tone getting more serious."well excuse me, i'm just trying to make sure my wife-to-be isn't dead!" he paused before making his next words barely audible for the rest of them. "and isn't with that crimson idiot…"

"well, you already failed at one thing. n/n is with itto." yoimiya shrugged, but takuya replied instantly, "and how do you know?"

"i just know? like what kind of question even is that?? y/n and i are bonded mentally and intellectually. you could never be on my level!" your other best friend, thoma, dragged yoimiya away before she could start throwing punches

"anyways…, if they really did jump down, shouldn't we go after them?" aether rejoined the conversation, a vibrant flower crown adorning his head. childe nodded his head, "see, aether is one of the only ones with sense here!!"

scaramouche made his way over to the edge of the cliff, "yeah, and one of them is definitely not you." he soared in the air for a few seconds before landing on the grainy sand. childe quickly followed, determined to start a fight

soon enough, they all made it down the treacherous cliff and were ready to find you and itto. heizou was excited to finally put his detective skills to use but then… "perhaps they went over there, to take shelter." albedo pointed towards a structure in the distance, and the group took their journey

takuya straggled behind the group until he realized that the platform was a couple meters away, to which he pushed his way through the cluster and set himself at the very front, making it seem like he led this whole expedition

as they got closer and closer, the sound of the waves got louder and louder. venti, thoma, yoimiya, and tomo were contemplating turning back and looking for the two themselves before a soft voice spoke, "um… look! they are here…" chongyun motioned to you and itto sitting on the wooden planks of the game area

your head was placed on itto's shoulder and his head was on yours.

takuya stood there silently. if it wasn't for yoimiya and venti obstructing his view at times, he might've split you guys up himself. he didn't like how you were so… comfortable with the crimson kind. he didn't appreciate how you disregarded his feelings so quickly.

he didn't like how he was starting to see why you liked itto more. how itto actually cared for you, albeit in his own unique way, but still caring nonetheless. how he began to think that itto was the better man for you.

how he wanted to ruin your relationship

sure, he refuses to show it but, takuya doesn't care whether he marries you or not. so why does seeing you with another person piss him off so much? oh…

his reputation is at stake. the daughter of a wealthy and well-known businessman caught in an affair with some low-class peasant? yeah, that's gonna be all over the headlines for months

opportunities will be shattered and the face of the company will burn until not even ashes remain. and in order to prevent this outcome, takuya has to find something, and find it quick

if it wasn't for lumine snapping takuya out of his thoughts, he probably would've stood there even after everyone left! "now that we've taken our nap… let's beat that high score!" itto's voice was still dull and groggy, as he just woke up from a very satisfying slumber. you woke up a few seconds after, nodding and starting to get up from the wooden platform. your head suddenly knocked into something and you fell back down. opening your eyes, you saw for people gathered around you and itto, all of them avoiding your eyes

yoimiya, venti, kaeya, and childe were frozen in place. you made eye contact with each one of your friends before looking at itto

"what's going on?"

takuya pushed through the four to meet face to face with you but before you could vocalize your disgust, he kneeled down and hugged you.

"god, i was so… worried…" he pulled away before you could speak and looked all over you, "did you get hurt anywhere? what about your head? your arms? legs?" takuya stopped rambling as soon as his eyes met with yours, but that contact broke when he was met with a shove to his shoulder

"what the fuck is wrong with you."

standing up from your place on the floor, you looked down at takuya before facing your friends. "itto and i are fine. hmm…" you pulled out your phone to check the time, whispering to yourself. "if we leave now, we'll reach back around dinnertime.. alright! let's head back now! we'll be having dinner at my place so no need to stop by anywhere..!" hopping off the platform, you briskly walked over to where the end of the woods was, thinking about takuya's behavior just moments before

that was really weird… he's so weird… maybe he's trying to play into his fiancé role, make it believable. surely he wouldn't cause too much trouble… right?

wrong.

as you all reached the parking lot, your friends were splitting into the groups they came with, entering those cars almost immediately. but takuya came late, so everyone thought he was just gonna ride by himself

apparently not.

the man in question took it upon himself to get into the front seat of your car, and just before he closed the door, he said, "y/n, im going to ride with you. i just want to make sure you'll be safe, that's all." this, not only, left you in confusion, but also pissed itto off, real bad. he stormed over to the car and flung the door open. "hey, i was here first! back of the line, blue boy!" itto tried to pry takuya from the seat as he yelled but his opponent simply responded with "ugh, the crimson kind. so aggressive."

soon enough, takuya refused taking the throws itto flung his way and fought back. it was less of a fight and more like wrestling. itto trying to push takuya out of his "rightful seat" and takuya wanting to get itto out of his space

"oh my god… both of you. backseat. now."

—

dinner went even worse. the two kept kicking each other from under the table and after everyone left, you invited itto up to your room to ask about something. "huh, whaddya know! i don't think i've actually been up here!" itto walked up the stairs with you as takuya's voice rang from the lounging area. "oh? you haven't? last time i was there, y/n and i had so much fun…" in an instant itto jumped down from the stairs, "what did you say?!"

yeah… dealing with these two was gonna be so much fun…

ten ; butterfly knives and jumping off cliffs

the haze of chinju forest added to the scare that your first victims were about to receive. rummaging around the lush green grass, you picked up a small rock and threw it at the unsuspecting duo. "thoma... did... did you feel that...?" yoimiya looked around cautiously, thoma simply stared. "feel what?" you and itto both creeped closer to the two, pebbles in your hands. he threw one at yoimiya again. an ear-piercing scream shot through the woods. "ARCHONS ABOVE." immediately turning around to the direction at which the object came from, yoimiya visibly shivered. "someone, no, something, threw something at me." under the blanket of the azure trees, the ghost get-up you two were in swished pass by the two; itto and you tapped on their shoulders, inducing screams from the both of them. you didn't know why they were screaming. you looked stupid. itto looked stupid.

the speakers deep into the forest rung: "the first round of the test of courage has ended. all pairs return to the meeting area to determine the winner."

—

a fan... a fan in these deep ass woods. you shifted on your legs, attempting to think up ideas with your partner. "in the trees maybe?" he leaned forward, an expectant smile on his face. "what the fuck is a fan doing in the trees?" waiting around for a bit longer, a spark rang through your head. whispering a 'be right back' to itto, you ventured through the beryl forest. walking for a while, an image of green and white caught your vision. just the person i was looking for. approaching the boy, you scanned his figure looking for the blue fan. eyes settling upon it, you asked him a question. "venti, what's the lore behind michael afton?" he perked up, immediately diving into the specifics of the man. while he was ranting, you slipped behind him, grasped the fan, and ran away. luckily he didn't realize, but when he was finished, a small "y/n?" escaped his lips.

running back to your partner, fan in hand, you visibly triumphed. "second round: secured." itto resisted the urge to scream "victory!!!" in the silent forest, instead shaking you spasmodically with a big grin on his face. "okay! let's get dressed and start a-scarin'!" picking up the lusterless white cloth, you threw it over yourself, positioning the eyes briefly.

- - -

"so... in order for a good scare, we're gonna need some costumes! i nominate ghost costumes because they are suuuper cool and scary! plus my horns can come out from the cloth and add to the spook! y'know like! w-wait! imagine this alright: you're in the forest in the dead of night, and someone taps you on the shoulder, you turn around and BAM! a ghost-oni!"

you and itto were at your home, thinking up ideas for the test of courage plan. he let a laugh out, relaxing on the couch, saying the last words for his argument: "and that's why ghost costumes are the way to go!"

getting up, you walked over to the spare closet. opening the door, you elevated your voice so it would reach the oni. "i thought you were terrified of ghosts? what happened?" picking up two tablecloths, the white fabric met the yumemiru wood, as you sat down. "huh?! me? scared? of ghosts?! well... sort of BUT! that doesn't matter! if anything, dressing up as a ghost can get rid of that nonexistent fear of mine!"

"right..." you said, slowly nodding your head. "anyways. i brought spare tablecloths to go along with your idea." lifting one up, it unraveled. "surely this would be big enough for you...?"

- - -

smiling back at the memory, your hand grasped the fabric. that dumbass was surprisingly good at sewing. of course, he stuck himself with a needle a couple times but refused to give up, as he was making a "masterpiece". the ring of your name brought you back from your thoughts, "n/n? are ya' ready to go?" the crunch of the grass under your feet soothed you; you nodded. "yeah!"

—

never go along with itto's plans. never. as much as you advised him against it, the new targets were tomo and kazuha. speaking from experience, you knew that kazuha can get very scary even if he doesn't seem like the type. and expressing this to itto... didn't do anything. so here you two were, hiding behind a bush, preparing to throw rocks at the couple. "three..., two...," itto counted down. "one!" both of you crept towards the two and sporadically threw rocks at them.

"tomo? it seems to me that there are people here to scare us. perhaps... we should give them a real scare."

his boyfriend visibly question-marked at that statement, and now you were feeling very stupid for deciding to stand a couple inches from them. in a blink of an eye, kazuha took out his butterfly knife, and turned around, showcasing the weapon. you shivered, having unhappy flashbacks to when you tried to do tricks with it and ended up with cuts all over your hands

he quickly ran towards you both, and you took itto's hand, yelling out a "fuck!"

after minutes of running through chinju forest, kazuha wasn't letting up. even when the ghost get-up blew off. taking a sharp turn with itto following suit, you prayed that he had finally gotten lost. "whoa there!" an outstretched arm protected you from the potential fall. a cliff. itto looked down at the landing, then at you, back at the landing. "guess there's nothing to do but..." the oni took a couple steps back before getting a running start and catapulting himself off of the ground and onto the sand below.

this man is in-fucking-sane.

he had the pads of his fingers touch the sand first, causing him to roll rather than splat on the ground. popping up, he yelled back to you. "i'll catch you y/n! just jump!" shaking out your limbs, you copied itto's movements from before. a couple steps back. into a running start. breathe in, out. you trusted him. he would catch you. one... two... three! your body soared in the air for a few seconds, hitting strong arms not long after. hopping off, you breathed out a sigh of relief. "thanks..." itto laughed, picking you up, "anytime sunshine!" with this added height, you scoped out the area. soon enough, a white object caught your attention. commanding itto to walk over to it, he set you down and you picked up the booklet

'Akitsu Yuugei Instructions' was scribbled on the front. flipping through the book, it's contents entered your brain. muttering an "i see...", you walked over to the nearby arena, signaling for itto to follow

—

"ITTO THERE'S FOUR BALLS. YOU TAKE TWO, I TAKE TWO."

"BUT I WANT ALL FOUR?!"

"THAT'S NOT HOW THE GAME WORKS."

you threw two spheres at him, keeping the other two. "okay..., then we click start." pressing the button on the virtual screen, multicolored blocks flooded your view. "i'll go for the ice ones!" itto shouted at you, holding his bar, pushing the purple ball into it. "but you don't have fire! i have fire! itto! go for the uh, water ones! the water ones!" he redirected his attention to the deep blue blocks, allowing you to push the fire element into your bar and get rid of the ice blocks. as the both of you finished with that, a new wave of blocks spawned. this time with purple and red blocks. quickly, you and itto both switched your bars to deep blue and light blue, respectively

wave after wave, the elemental blocks came one after another, only to be knocked down a few seconds later. you and itto were barely communicating coherently at this point. "y/n! fire. right wall!" you changed your bar to fire and then released an orb, pushing it so that it would ricochet off the right wall and hit a water block. "itto! ice. left wall, then top, onto the right." understanding perfectly, he pushed the ice sphere into his bar and angled the ball so that it would bounce off the left wall, onto the top wall, to hit a brown brick

at the same time, you did the same with a fire ball. with the impact of an ice and fire orb upon it, the brown brick broke immediately. the round ended and your conjoined score came onto the screen: 15,682. jumping up and down, you and itto had a little celebration before setting down to play another round, determined to break your high score.

—

back in the depths of the forest, your friends regrouped. looking around, they realized that something was missing. two people were missing. "hey... where did n/n and itto go?"

nine ; inflorescent

"let's go to the test of courage!"

the arataki gang was in their usual headquarters, eating lavender melons and whatnot as their leader proposed his idea. unbeknownst to itto, however, his gang members weren't really liking the idea. you examined the room, taking in every facial expression you could before making a conclusion. walking up to itto, you patted his head. "the gang doesn't want to." "what?!" he exclaimed, eyes blowing wide. "i'd hate to break it to ya boss but the test of courage is a child's game…" the member shuffled in his seat, playing with a nearby crate. "yeah! mamoru's right! we need something more challenging! the test of courage isn't scary at all!" genta shouted

sighing, you attempted to turn around but a hand firmly grasped your wrist. "y/n! y-you'll come with me right!? and prove that the test of courage is scary?!"

–

lunchtime. itto has been pestering you – as usual – for the past few days about the courage thing. in his words, "in order to prove it to the arataki gang, we need more people and… and scarier tactics…!" so here you are, asking your friends to join itto's pity party

"please please please come with us! we have a day off tomorrow and its not like any of you have lives to attend to! so come on! tag along! please?"

your desperation could be heard through your words. its not that you didn't want to go but more of if you and itto didn't get any more people, you would end up going together. alone.

the entirety of the tables just looked at you, then itto, back at you, and laughed

"itto! you can't even ask her out on a date correctly?! who goes to the test of courage to confess their love?" said childe nearly choking on his food due to how funny he found the situation

the oni in question looked very surprised, getting defensive quickly. "hey! we're just tryin' to get the gang a little spooked then they'll know how scary it can be! i-i would never confess my love in chinju forest! how unromantic… r-right y/n…?"

you weren't really listening, instead opting for munching on some of thoma's snacks. but you were able to get the gist of what itto was saying. "i personally really love the atmosphere of chinju forest… its quietness is the perfect scene to fall in love! and! i hear there are some really rare flowers there~"

to the rest of the group, it was very obvious you were just teasing him but to itto, that was a real thinker. should i try to romance her? no! we have one goal! but she likes the atmosphere and the flowers… maybe i'll pick some. no! one goal itto, one goal. you cannot let yourself get distracted! operation scare the shit out of people is almost in effect! we must stay focused brothers!

you ended up wandering off while itto was lost in his thoughts, eventually getting lost in your own. in order for people to join, we need someone whose well liked… perfect

two sets of blonde hair and golden eyes caught your view. "aether! lumine!" running over, the twins were taken aback by your urgency. "uh… hey y/n! what's up?" aether was a bit confused and it showed in his voice. "ah! i have a favor to ask of you! i know, i know you get these a lot but i swear this one is gonna be fun!" repositioning yourself, you spoke again

"can you come to the test of courage with us? we're planning on going tomorrow…"

crossing her arms, lumine looked at you suspiciously. "who's us exactly?"

"us is… itto and i! and hopefully that whole group over there…" you pointed just behind you, towards the tables at which your friends were sitting. "well… its not like we have anything better to do… how about we go, aether?" the braided blonde's eyes widened before softening, a cheerful tone leaving his mouth. "lets go then!"

exclaiming a "yay", you walked over to your friends, feeling extra triumphant. "aether and lumine are going, now do you guys want to come with us?" crossing your arms and leaning on your hip, you scanned the faces of your confidants.

the firm grasp enclosing your shoulders took you by surprise. bright red eyes accompanied by equally as bright red markings enveloped your view. "the twins?! you got the twins to come!? they're my bros! my compadres! how'd ya know i was thinkin' of inviting them! huh, huh? how'd ya know?!" someone was getting a bit too excited. so excited that shit started spinning and it only occurred to you once your feet hit the ground. while itto was singing his praises, lumine and aether established themselves at the table, collectively asking one question

"are they… dating?"

the entirety of the tables silenced at the question, but only two were brave enough to answer it. clearing her throat, yoimiya pulled out her phone, showing the two the incriminating media taken of the duo, while her partner in crime, venti, gave over-exaggerated context on each photo and video taken. the twins simply hummed and nodded in response. perhaps they wanted to join the fanclub?

itto eventually calmed down, clearing his throat before letting you go. "well, are you gonna tell me? how exactly did you get them to come with us?" he put his hand to his chin, thinking presumably, but you knew damn well that man wasn't using his brain at all. "it's simple, really. tell me itto, have you ever thought about…" you turned around, taking leisurely steps in front of you with every word you spoke. angling yourself towards him again, you finished your thought. "…asking?" he stared at you in response, doubling over in laughter not even a second later. "why would…? why would i ask?!"

"well if i knew that your massive ego would get in the way, i would've left you to deal with your wishes alone!" scoffing, you crossed your arms and attempted to walk away but the heavy weight of another left you stagnant. "thanks for inviting them, really." his tone was lower than usual, as he whispered in your ear. pushing him off, you put your hands on your hips, "its whatever! if i knew that you wanted them to come, i wouldn't have done that. "that last sentence rolled off your tongue quickly and all itto could say was "what?" to which you just replied with "let's go. they're waiting for us." as he stared at your retreating figure, and how your face lit up at the conversations held between you and the others, a soft smile touched his lips. maybe this infatuation was turning into a crush…

–

"its really not that hard y/n!"

"well if its not that hard, why don't you go ask him yourself?"

just who were you? the sugar plum fairy? granting people's wishes left and right? hell no. "but pleaaaseee, n/n! if i ask xiao, he'll… he won't even notice me!" venti whined, grabbing onto your torso. "and whose problem is that? listen venti, if you want something, you have to go get it." unwrapping his arms and placing them at his sides, you spoke to him sternly, but to no avail. "ohhh! so like how itto wants you really really bad and that's why he won't leave you alone? i see… so thats the approach i have to make!" the bard skipped off to the tables where the liyue friend group would usually congregate, making himself at home

barely five minutes later, he reemerged with "good news, gooder news, and greatest news!"

–

a dilemma. you could never get yourself out of these! venti never told you his marvelous news so you had to just stand there – about to enter the car – as he says "wait! don't leave yet! there's more people coming!" and you along with the other fourteen people groaned. "what other people, you ask? well let me inform you!" the idiot pulled out his phone, tapped the screen a few times, and held the phone to his ear. "xiao? are you almost here yet? do you need me to resend the address?" it was dead silent for a while but soon a black car pulled up to your house. venti ended his call, and waved over the boys who were exiting the vehicle

"xiao! xingqiu! chongyun! over here!" he looked like a fucking dumbass waving at nine in the morning. he skipped over to the group, a stupidly large grin on his face. "ahem! the good news was that i, yours truly, invited more people! introducing xiao, chongyun, and xingqiu! my liyue friends!" you blinked once, then twice, before smiling. "uhh well, we're gonna be leaving at around nine-fifteen so feel free to take a light break inside or grab anything you might've forgotten!"

"alright, you heard her! make yourselves at home!" venti ushered the three inside, but you managed to grab xingqiu's wrist before he could enter. "no kissing on the couch." your eyes darted to chongyun, then back to sir. fucked-up-bangs. "now now! go inside!" xingqiu shuddered as he went through the doors, too scared to spare you a simple glance. not even a second after you turned from your home, venti shook you violently, whisper-yelling "i got his number! and he wants to be partners for the test of courage! can you believe it y/n! this! this is my chance!"

"yes… yes it is… now let go of me." giggling, he let go of your shoulders, jumping up and down. "and even if he didn't want to partner up with you, i'm "randomizing" the pairings!" doing air quotes on the word randomizing, you had an accomplished look on your face as you received venti's praise. "n/n! you genius! have you made them already?"

"well of course i have! i'll announce them once we get to the venue."

checking your watch, you called chongyun, xiao, and xingqiu outside. clapping loudly, you projected your voice. "alright! we have four extra seats! diluc's, xiao's, and my car can hold five people each! childe's car can hold seven! split yourselves accordingly and then we'll head out!" after a minute or two, the groups were decided, and on began your journey to the test of courage!

–

"could you shut the fuck up. i'm trying to drive here." itto was belting out to a song on the radio, briefly pausing to say "keyword: trying." before singing at the top of his lungs once again. slamming your foot on the breaks, the car lurched forwards. "well then, i'd like to see you try."

"hey now, i drive motorcycles – not cars! a clear difference!"

"i hope you crash one day. bonus points if its a car." you stepped on the gas again, continuing on the path to the event. "what's with the hostility today? never fear! arataki "good vibes" itto, will cheer ya' up real soon!" he poked your cheek teasingly, coaxing you to slap his hand away. "whoa whoa! both hands on the wheel, now!"

venti sat at the back of the car, sprawled out, texting the group chat

testes of courage

vanti: ohh dmyyyy goooodddddd they wont stip flirting ygdujeuaqyhg

bot: and whose fault is that? childe's car had one spot left but no, you let the one-eye-man take it fucking idiot

k'eye'a: WHY AM I ONE EYE MAN

weed!: because you have one eye? i feel like thats common sense

detektib: os true kazuha speak on it!

k'eye'a: i feel like a dumbass

bot: you are a dumbass

k'eye'a: okay

weed!: anyways im going back to playing animal crossing with yoimiya, thoma, and albedo bye

k'eye'a: dont mention his name…

vanti: i shouldve pushed ur ass out of the way so i wouldnt be here #regretting ALSO YALL ARE PLAYING ACNH WITHOUT ME?!?!? INFAIR ughdewhyegduj im so misrablehjuiwfe

k'eye'a: ALBEDO IS IN AN ENTIRE OTEHR CAR WHAT AM I SUPPOSE D TO DO

vanti: SO IS XIAO YOU HAD AN OBTION AN OPPROTUNITU YOU DIDNT TAKE IT YOUR FAULT

k'eye'a: 🙁

–

"ugh finally! we're here!" as you exited the car, the twelve-o'clock afternoon sun nearly blinded you. venti was busy whining when you announced that the groups were going to be picked. itto brought out the box you had with everyone's names on a piece of paper in it. shaking it up, he signaled for you to take one while he took the other. that fucked up your plan. you thought filling in itto on your little plan, but kept pushing the box to you, confused as to why you haven't drawn a name yet. under pressure, you hand slipped into the box, one of the sheets, and read it.

"kazuha and…"

itto's voice continued the sentence. "tomo-bro!"

–

soon enough, the pairings were done, and the final matchups were:

kazuha + tomo

heizou + gorou

scara + aether

xingqiu + chongyun

lumine + childe

kaeya + albedo

venti + xiao

y/n + itto

yoimiya + thoma

you used a little something called: praying to the gods, to make the pairs exactly how you wanted them. you weren't sure if lumine and aether were alright with their pairings so you checked in with them briefly to ensure everything was alright

"what are we waitin' for?! its spooky time!" itto and the others ran into chinju forest, quickly signing up their pairs. diluc also watched them buzz around ready for the fun before saying a few words and taking his leave. "i'll be going to my meeting now. have fun y/n." itto was impatiently calling for you so you started to run towards the forest as well, not forgetting to send a "good luck!" to diluc

and so… the test of courage began…

–

as you approached the maiden, a force grabbed onto your wrist, pulling you away from the group. "okay, so here's the game plan. you find the items and eliminate any threats, wahpow, and i scare people, kachow, we meet up after you're done finding the things and we scare people together bada-bing bada-boom baby!" his whisper-yelling was interesting. it was whisper yelling, but without the whisper. he wasn't necessarily loud, but you were happy that the rest of the team was so focused on winning that they tuned him out

"and what if one of these 'threats' finds the item before i can? then what?" crossing his arms, itto gave you a smile. "easy! look, i never usually say this but arataki itto is all about winning, okay? if someone gets the loot before we can…, fight them for it! or… pepper spray them! i know you got some. anyways! the goal is to win in all aspects, not just one!"

staring at him in complete and utter disbelief, you shook your head, wondering why you were so surprised. its itto we're talking about. the man in question tapped your shoulder impatiently, "hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! its starting! alright! chin up, sunshine… we've got work to do!"

a few words escaped the shrine maiden's lips. "the first item to find is… dango milk."

where the fuck where you going to find dango milk in this hazy ass forest? you barely made an attempt to look before you caught sight of gorou. inconspicuously walking his way, you wrapped your arm around him, voice low. "guess who has a coupon for someone's favorite cake store? i'll slide it your way if you find the milk for me~" gorou was easily swayed. cake over everything. even winning. heizou called for his partner from afar but gorou yelled back, "hei! i'll survey this area! it'll be easier to find if we divide and conquer!"

"no it won't!"

"yes it will!"

"what about the friends we made along the way?"

"what fucking friends? you don't have any!"

"okay then! go on and conquer!"

you sat back and watched the show, taking home on a plain rock. soon enough, gorou left to find the item, which left you bored out of your mind. luckily, one of the rare flowers that grew in this area was not too far away from you, so you got up to take a few photos. the array of petals were fluorescent, a blue you had never seen before. they lit up the gloomy forest, giving it an eerie yet ethereal feel. less than two minutes passed before gorou came running back, dango milk in hand. you slid him the coupon, as promised, and the item was secured

skipping and humming, you made your way to the vantage point that itto and you decided on going to initiate phase three of the plan. you expected to wait there for a while, you didn't however, expect to see itto already waiting for you. back against the ashen rock, twirling those familiar blue petals. those flowers were inflorescent but he only appeared to have one of said flowers. you stood there for a second, admiring the way he looked in chinju forest's barely-there lighting. the loud, obnoxious, colorful, itto was long gone, at least for now. you were looking at itto's quieter, pleasant, simple, twin brother, otto. the white hair held more of a gray undertone and his red markings settled for a duller version, but not any less stunning

"scaring people didn't go so well for you, huh?"

hearing your voice, itto quickly straightened up, hid the flower out of sight, and greeted you. "hey y/n! it went pretty well if you ask me! but enough about that, have you brought the goods?" you raised your right arm in the air, showcasing the coveted dango milk. "of course, i've brought the goods. do i ever disappoint?" itto let out a few cheers, calming down soon after. "that's my girl! alright! it's scarin' time!"

eight ; derailed

tw: brief (literally unnoticeable) mention of syphilis

council meetings first thing in the morning aren't the best, but you know what makes it so much worse? seeing your "fiancé" there. hes not supposed to be there. and of course, absolutely no one bats an eye. well, except for the sumeru department. they're some of the realest people you'll ever meet. cyno's stares can cause syphilis, kaveh won't hesitate to put a bitch in their place, and haitham is just... there. those three are menaces to the council, and thats what makes it enjoyable. sometimes.

the slam of a book on the maple wood table followed by a sigh. "now who the fuck is this?" kaveh leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms and legs. haitham stared at him sideways before sighing and going back to scribbling meaningless words in his notebook. "hey kid, you just can't waltz into the council. go along now." takuya stationed himself firmly at your side, "why don't you introduce me y/n?" in all honesty, you weren't paying much attention to the altercation between takuya and kaveh, settling for researching new flowers to plant instead. so when you were asked this crucial question, five words spilled out of your mouth quizzically. "i'm sorry, who are you?"

you knew damn well who he was, but you didn't want to. so you pretended not to! smiling up at him from the newfound comfort of your council chair while knowing that a stuck-up bitch like takuya will never have the luxury of being in one of these seats, made you so fucking happy. the person in question leaned closer to your ear, a threat on his lips. "you'll regret this." rolling your eyes, you whispered back. "the only thing i'll regret is not beating the fuck out of you yesterday." he stepped back briskly, practically skipping out of the meeting room, not forgetting to give you a scowl just before he left.

"well that was fun. can we get on with the meeting now?" kaveh complained. mona chuckled causing a response from him. "what are you laughing at?!" somehow, the entirety of the liyue department managed to hold their heads in their hands simultaneously, looking extremely annoyed. except xingqiu, who was living for this. "you're always complaining, kaveh. have you nothing better to do?" gripping the armrests of his chair, kaveh exclaimed "you–! and thats exactly why you're broke!" gasping, mona stood up from her chair, hands slamming on the table "why you–"

"secretary."

a voice called out. and just like that, all other voices in the room fell silent.

"y/n. how's the investigation going?" raiden looked at you passively, she most likely doesn't care but wanted to do anything for those two to shut up. "it's coming along well, president. i have successfully infiltrated the arataki gang and am currently conducting research on their habits." you made it sound smarter than it was. you've done next to nothing to figure out the root cause of the "havoc" that the aforementioned gang is causing, and it didn't matter to you anyway. it's none of your business; if mona has such a problem, she can just go fix it herself with her hydromancy

—

saying that you despised english was an understatement. it wasn't that bad before, ranking in the middle of your favorite classes. but now, you just knew that the archons were out to get you. someway, somehow, takuya got transferred to your section and someway, somehow, yae miko fucked up the seats so badly, she forgot to seat someone in the aisle seat in the lefthand-most column in the fourth row. meaning that you were next to, not one, but two oni. one of which is vying for your heart and the other is your fiancé. fun! so much fucking fun! you're having such a field day, yoimiya can feel it from behind her! turning around, yoimiya looked you up and down before stifling a laugh, quickly returning to her original position once she was called on by miko

the minutes went by and you found yourself getting more and more sleepy. english was somewhat boring and the relative quietness of the class didn't help with your uncanny need to sleep. resting your elbows on the desk, you placed your head upon your hands and closed your eyes. "never thought i'd see the day where the prestigious y/n is dozing off in class." itto's words came out as a hushed whisper. he didn't want miko to know that her class was so boring that it was putting people to sleep and he certainly didn't wish to get you into trouble. so he softly grabbed your shoulder and shook you awake. "hey...! hey...! y/n? y/n...?!" he called out your name a plethora of times, each time, without a reply

you, however, were already awake. hearing itto's voice rise an entire octave every time he called for you was unbelievably hilarious. your content humming scared itto more than you thought. he thought that you were falling deeper and deeper into slumber. his pleads with you came to an abrupt halt replaced by mischievous laughter. "hehe... i've got an idea!"

being more shocked that itto had the brain capacity to create ideas than in fear as to what exactly this idea is, you continued to pretend to be asleep. the feel of calloused hands gently pulling your limp head from the comfort of your hands nearly made a gasp escape from your lips. what the fuck kind of idea is this? his hands brought you closer to him, his body. and soon enough, his forehead met yours. you didn't have to open your eyes to know that he was grinning like an absolute idiot. "hm... in the fairytales, the prince has to kiss the princess in order for her to wake up... maybe if i..."

you knew what he was going to do. but you couldn't move. move bitch. why won't you move?! "hey y/n– oh"

yoimiya. oh god. awakening abruptly and pushing yourself away from itto, you prayed to the archons above. she didnt take a picture right?? lies. she did. three in fact. and all three are being sent to the group chat as you panic. shooting takuya a triumphant look, itto focused his attention back onto you, attempting to cheer you up after getting caught is such an "embarrassing" situation

hands covering your head for a split second, you tapped yoimiya. "i need to talk to you!"

fully turning around, yoimiya shut off her phone. "why...?" she said suspiciously. you don't usually have deep and meaningful talks with her because they end up being derailed by something or someone. but today was different

"hey! i wanna talk too! don't leave me out!" itto whined, crossing his arms

"no. you can go talk to..." your voice trailed off, eyes scanning for a person for itto to have a nice conversation with. "...takuya!"

itto's eyes blew wide at the name. "nope. no way. nada. arataki itto is not talking to takuya whatever-the-fuck-his-last-name-is!"

"then go talk to venti or something!" yoimiya chimed in, oddly eager to have this talk. pushing itto towards venti, you turned back to your childhood friend

"so... when was the last time you spoke to him?" reaching into your bag, and pulling out a notebook, you began to take notes on whatever yoimiya was saying. "uh... since the fight." her face lowered and her demeanor changed, talking about this topic was hard, perhaps since it was so recent

"well, i see him trying to talk to me and i... i can't. i feel sick like... like fireworks are going off in my stomach...!" yoimiya continued speaking and you continued taking notes

"does your heart beat really fast?" a new voice added. the words were said slightly huskily and with unintentional hostility

"scara? why are you here? you're not supposed to be here." you wanted a nice little private therapy session with yoimiya and of course, it just had to go downhill

"what's the big deal? i just told the teacher i was gonna take a walk since the class is boring. so im here. i don't see anyone complaining." he took a breath after every few words or so. turning back to yoimiya, scaramouche asked the same question, "does your heart beat really fast?"

yoimiya stared blankly at him, seeming to recall her near encounters with the blonde, before answering, "yes"

scaramouche hummed in response, thinking a bit, then bombarding her with questions. "do your palms get sweaty? experience chest palpitations? face ever get hot?"

sighing, you put down your pencil. yoimiya took a little while to reply but her answer was yes. kuzushi laughed, crossing his arms. "then its easy. you're allergic to him!"

deadpanning, you looked over at him. "you should be a doctor, scara." your voice had an uncharacteristic flat tone. yoimiya on the other hand, was actually considering the possibility of being allergic to thoma. "naganohara yoimiya. you are not allergic to thoma." your attempt to prove scara wrong was in vain. "she could be allergic to him! you never know! the symptoms resemble those of allergies." he argued, truly believing that yoimiya was in fact, allergic to thoma

"she could just be nervous around him! that was their first serious argument in a while!"

the bickering between the both of you continued before someone else inserted themselves into the conversation

"both of you are stupid. its so obvious! yoimiya is in love!"

you and scara alike uttered the same three words, "shut up venti."

seven ; suitor

the thump of an expensive dining chair on the hardwood flooring stole takuya's attention. he stationed himself slightly in your room, inside to hold a conversation but close enough to the door in case of an emergency. you wouldn't let him sit on the seats that your close friends often sat on when they came over, so you stole a chair from the dining room. sitting on your king-sized bed and crossing your legs, takuya sat down without a hitch. he folded his arms, looking off to the side. "why didn't you let one of your servants bring up the chair for you? i would have liked more time to get to know my future wife, you know." he was deeply annoyed. the hospitality of the l/n clan was fucking horrible.

you were far too busy yelling at your friends through the comfort of your phone to hear your "fiancé"'s question

unknown number: oh my name is takuya

you've never felt your head snap up so hard before and surely, the takuya you knew was smiling and laughing at his phone. his eyes met yours quickly, an "are you okay, love?" slipping out of his mouth, only to be rebutted with "shut up." takuya took this time to present to you a ring. as he stood and took brisk steps closer to you, your legs uncrossed and your arms did instead. "what are you doing?" the words escaped cruelly. in full honesty, you had no reason to be mean to him, you just are. there's something that irks you and you don't like that

"a ring, dear. i bought it for our engagement...!"

gifting you the box, takuya patiently waited for you to open it. god, the ring was fucking ugly. you don't know what kind of gemstone but this is shit was actually horrific. a crime to society. luckily, the notifications from your phone served as a means to not say anything. picking it up from your side, takuya went back to his seat. "what a terrible suitor"

childe likes shitting himself

unknown number: fontainian scum

weed watcher: oh

monsterfucking ! went offline unknown number went offline

kuzushi!!!: beat his fucking ass y/n

takuya thought that you wouldn't be able to see his small grins as he texted the group chat even though you were right across from him. at this point, he didn't try to hide the fact that he was feeling smug about insulting you. your family. you didn't even bother to try and compromise with him. slap.it was quick, but not lacking power; takuya held his face. he still sat, recoiling, building up to his outburst. "how dare you! not even my mother has touched me! who do you believe you are?!" takuya snapped. the sheer force he stood up with knocked back the pristine dining chair he was sitting on. blue eyes stared into your e/c; tension was rising. "oh my! i'm so sorry! although... you can't really expect any better from fontainian scum, can you?" the words fell out, overflowing with faux sweetness.

scoffing, takuya crossed his arms, "i'm leaving." stepping back, you let him pass, back turned away from you. "leave quickly, or i'll push you down the stairs." the shut of a door was heard not a second after. throwing a series of punches and kicks at his leaving figure, you attempted to collect yourself.

six ; pheromones

this is bullying. there is no way that the members of the arataki gang actually went through this shit to get in. why do you even have to do anything to get in? what the fuck does roasting lavender melons have to do with anything?

trial one !

itto came to you bearing melons as you sat on a crate, bored out of your mind. the abode that the arataki gang inhabited was... nostalgic to say the least. it was a medium-sized establishment on the outskirts of hanamizaka. it used to be the cafe that tomo and venti used to work at: 'swirl', but it closed down due to the owner's failure to find a successor. therefore, it was left as an abandoned building, perfect for the arataki gang to claim. in the words of the gang leader himself, "it was made for the arataki gang!"

shoving the three melons into your arms, itto grabbed your shoulders and helped you stand up. "i've already made a fire! let's go!" despite your protests that you could clearly walk by yourself, itto continued to guide you to the right place. it was very obvious where the "right place" was as vermillion-hued crackles slowly filled your vision.

sighing, the fire danced in front of you. lavender melons still confined in your arms, "does fire hurt?" you thought, repositioning the fruits in your arms. with one of your arms free, you stretched your hand closer to the fire. as the warmth grazed your fingertips, an overwhelming stare caught your attention.

in a split second, the lavender melons were reduced to zero. itto truly believed that running at you will full speed to prevent you from hurting yourself was a smart idea. he thought wrong. the melons previously in your arms were thrown into the fire spontaneously, getting extra toasty. itto's arms were firmly planted on your shoulders, pushing himself up. he did this on purpose, you thought. although you've known the man for almost a month but, archons, he was easy to read.

reaching for your (dominant hand) pocket, itto squirmed above you. little did you know, you were also very easy to read. since the first day you met him, itto took note of which pocket you stored your spray. searching for a way to grab your attention - so that he wouldn't get hurt again - itto opted to hit you in the head... with his head, of course. dropping the pepper spray back into your pocket, you recoiled from the sudden impact

gasping loudly, you ran over to the fire as itto's body hit the ground. your melons! reaching for them amidst the fire, itto pushed you to the side. "are you crazy! i'll do it!" not even five seconds after inching closer to the fire, he backed out with a "nuh-uh! i'll pass!"

grabbing a nearby stick, you fished out the melons from the blazing fire. they were indeed... roasted. as black as night, the lavender melons resembled a piece of charcoal. sitting beside it, you called for itto to do the same. plopping down across from you, you gestured to the lump in front of you. "well? aren't you gonna eat it? i made it just for you, you know...!" making your voice pitiful towards the end, itto simply couldn't resist and chomped on a charred melon

"it's uh... it's really good!"

trial six !

wiping your hands on the nearby cloth, you scoffed as itto indulged in the drink you served him. "is this over yet?" looking up from his red and white swirled straw, itto smiled at you. "no."

you needed to... dance with him? and no, not some club/party dancing. waltzing. what in the beauty and the beast shit is this? preventing yourself from exploding, you remembered your ultimate goal: join the arataki gang and investigate whatever the fuck is going on. walking over to itto, who was now in an empty space in the room, you snatched the remote from him and pushed a button. instantaneously, music leaked from the room's speakers. getting into position - albeit miserably - your hands found themselves clasping his, bringing his own to your waist, where they would comfortably sit. "whoa whoa y/n! if you like it fast, i don't mind! i was just thinking that our love was more of a slow burn, you know?" although you glared up at him, and he could feel that, he still continued. "bad boy gets the good girl! a classic romance trope! fits us quite well, no?" taking your silence as rejection, itto reassured you, "agh! don't worry! i'll make you mine eventually!" putting your arms into the correct place, you and itto both began to sway to the music.

"however long it may take, i'll marry you in the end, y/n l/n!"

trial fourteen !

itto gathered every single member of his gang, at least the ones he could find. the room was barely filled with five people or so and itto's booming voice made up for the excess space. "today, y/n l/n will be going through her last trial to determine whether or not she is qualified to join the arataki gang." he was being surprisingly professional about the whole ordeal. "this trial is... declare your unwavering loyalty to me!"

you took brisk steps closer to the man, and eventually, you became so close that not even a millimeter of space was spared from your bodies. romantic music played from the speakers, courtesy of genta. you lowered your face in mock shyness, playing with your fingers to seal the deal. your hands cupped his face, looking up at him. itto lowered his body to bring himself to eye level with you and listened to how your soft words got lost in the wind

"on this day, i pledge my absolute loyalty to you, arataki itto. i swear that i will never disappoint you in any way and that i will make you much happier than before. because you, itto, are..."

hands resting on his shoulders now, you stopped speaking to take a deep breath and continued

"are a fucking dumbass!"

itto's body hit the ground from the push you gave him and without skipping a beat, your body found itself on top of his. winding up your arm to give him the punch of his life - a punch that was so legendary, it could change the trajectory of itto's life forever - itto laughed out, smirking a few seconds later. "oh darling, don't you see the position you've got me in?" lowering your arm, you looked at both yours and itto's body. "what the fuck are you talking abo- oh."

your legs were straddling his hip area, and he just layed there, an amused yet blushing, look on his face. he had more than enough strength to get you off of him with ease, but why would he want to do that? you attempted to push yourself from him, but large hands gripping your waist brought you right back down.

"at least let me savor the moment! you look really pretty on top of me, ya know!"

desperately trying to get out of arataki itto's oni strength, you squirmed.

what was that

itto looked at you, you looked at itto. in a millisecond, you were on your feet again. "haha...! y/n! you should uh... go home! i just remembered i have something very very important to do with the gang! and-! i, uh, dont want you getting jealous! yeah... getting jealous..." you've never felt your facial muscles go through this many emotions before. quickly realizing why he was so jittery, you grabbed your bag and walked out, feeling every single pair of eyes on you

"shit", waltzing back into the gang's base and beelining for the leader, the fabric of his shirt bundled in your hand. face-to-face now, you seethed, "im joining the gang, right?" it seems as if even though itto was looking at you, he wasn't listening, like at all. "are we about to kiss right now? because if we are, i'd like that very much." unhanding itto and running out the door, the members of the arataki gang saw one thing lying on the floor: a viparyas. "it keeps falling out... i should get her some hairpins"

- x -

as if today couldn't get worse, your father is back from a business trip and he's brought someone with him too. "now, now y/n! don't be shy! introduce yourself!" he ushered you towards the person. he was your age, if not around it. his voice was slightly husky as he spoke,

"hello y/n. i am takuya. your fiancé."

perhaps you were born with oni pheromones, just why did you keep attracting them?

five ; parkour

the seat of the chair made your body stiff. you tuned out the various voices and instead opted to sketch a bit. focusing on the sharp sound of your pencil on the paper, the door knocked. standing up quickly, so that you could temporarily take a break from the meeting, you opened the door. dark green hair. light green streaks. haircut that resembles edna from the incredibles. shit. its fucking tighnari.

turning around, you stared at cyno until he looked back at you. blinking rapidly, and furiously, you telepathically told cyno to come get his "friend".

"alright! alright! back to the matter at hand. the inazuman district has been having some trouble disciplining a group of students, haven't they?" mona started, fixing her ponytails before crossing her arms and continuing. "if this matter goes on, the students' safety will be in danger!"

"girl. shut the fuck up cause you know damn well you're only here for the money." kaveh smirked, leaning back in his chair. you hurriedly pushed tighnari towards cyno and went back to your seat, not wanting to give up your front-row seat of the drama about to occur

"you can't be serious, kaveh..."

"shut up, haitham! you were sent from the akademiya as a scribe yet there is not a single word written down! scribe my ass!"

cyno audibly sighed. perhaps haitham and kaveh's bickering has gotten to him after all. as the two men argued, the rest of the members watched on

as usual, council meetings are a hot mess.

in teyvat high's student council, there is a department for each nation, and each country has its own representatives or sub-councils. some sub-councils are looser and don't care too much about roles. others are pretty structured. some are strict, whilst others are more... chaotic

"be quiet now." the president of the inazuman department spoke, and the room fell silent. her influence rivals ningguang's in the council. letting out a small breath, she continued, "since this is a matter that concerns inazuma, i'll appoint one of our own members to investigate the issue." everyone's eyes were on her, but her's were on you

fuck

no. nope. no way. hesitantly smiling at you, raiden shogun spoke up once more, then announced the end of the meeting

"secretary y/n will be investigating the matter of the arataki gang"

- - -

lunchtime! your favorite part of the school day came closer than imagined, maybe it would help you feel better... or not.

walking over to the usual table, you struggled to get used to the now somewhat large group of friends. at first, it was just you, yoimiya, and thoma. you three had been friends since second grade due to a group project. it was originally supposed to be done in pairs, but the teacher fucked up the calculations, and voilà! thoma was put into your and yoimiya's group!

you had met kazuha just a year later, in the summer of third grade. the kaedeharas moved into the vacant house next to yours, and you didn't realize until the ball you were playing with magically flew to the other side of the fence. doing parkour, you got to the opposite side only to see a young boy with white hair and a red streak holding your lavender-colored bouncy ball. "hi! i'm y/n! what's your name?" "my name is kazuha..."

eighth grade was the year you met the rest. you, albedo, and scaramouche had to do an english project together. venti and tomo were baristas at a, now closed-down, cafe you frequented, and heizou and gorou shyly joined your lunch table as seventh graders after getting kicked out of their old one due to an accident.

it was the ten of you since then and you all vowed to stick by each other for as long as possible

"y/n... i don't think i can go on for any longer..." yoimiya sulked, munching on one of the various treats thoma brought today. itto's crew had made themselves comfortable at your table, very comfortable. childe and kaeya were clutching their stomachs and cackling about something while diluc watched on. itto was too occupied attempting to make moves on you to join them. as you sat down next to yoimiya, itto shoved kaeya to the side, squirming as he stood. inaudible words flowing out of his mouth paired perfectly with the spontaneous movements he made with his arms

kaeya understood. he understood perfectly.

the khaenri'ahn cleared his throat, stood up, and skipped over to the other side of the table, where his dear brother, diluc, was sitting. itto instantaneously claimed the empty seat next to you now that kaeya was gone. sensing his presence instantly, you shifted over towards yoimiya, who was currently threatening to kill thoma because he apparently made her lose a customer in a dream she had. itto, however, noticed this. he shifts closer to you.

you shift away

he shifts closer

you shift away

he shifts closer

you shift away but yoimiya's body was practically merged with yours so you had nowhere to go. the only thing you could do was... shift closer to itto. doing it as casually as you could, your body retracted from your close friend's, establishing a personal sense of space. itto also noticed this. he seems more attentive today than usual. popping another lollipop into his mouth, itto eavesdropped on your conversation

"thoma-! he-! he threatened one of my customers with a knife!"

"thats because she didn't want to pay! you're putting your heart and soul into making these fireworks and she thinks that she can just leave without paying?! of course i wouldn't let her do that!"

"it doesn't matter! the fact that she considered naganohara fireworks is enough for me!"

childe and kaeya's laughter dissipated once they heard the shouting from the middle of the table

"naganohara yoimiya! you need to understand that you are amazing at what you do! i've seen your work countless times and every firework is better than the last! that woman trying to not pay undervalues the remarkable things you do each and every day! yoimiya, you need to know your self-worth!"

yoimiya precipitously stood up from her seat, hands slamming on the table with a thump. the tension was brimming. even the most oblivious could feel it. those two never were the argumentative type especially when it comes to fighting with each other. "i do know my self-worth! i also know that i could lose a customer if you ever tried that shit in real life! it's just a dream anyway! why do you care so much?"

seeing that you were far too absorbed and concerned in the altercation between yoimiya and thoma, venti kicked your knee from under the table. glaring up at him and giving him two 'what the fuck??' blinks, you read the note on the piece of paper that he held up

should we step in???

reading the note as well, itto tapped your shoulder urgently, whispering in your ear: "y/n. this looks bad... we should-"

"my god, thoma! what don't you understand?! if she didn't want to pay, maybe it was because i messed up her order! im not perfect!"

"but you are!"

"i've messed up orders many, many times before! im clearly not!"

thoma, who was currently standing up from his chair, lowered his head and took a deep breath, muttering a few words

i wish you could love yourself as much as i love you

yoimiya saw his lips move, but the words were too faint for her to hear. "what did you say?"

thoma raised his head, locking eyes with his close friend. "i said that i wish you could love yourself as much as i love you." he stepped away from the table and sighed. "i- uh- left something in the home ec room...! haha..., i'll uh... i'll see you guys later...!" thoma speed-walked out of the hall, yoimiya directly on his tracks

realizing the suffocating astriction, you laughed to lighten the mood. it didn't help. what escaped your lips was instead a short-lived forced laugh followed by a groan. with your head now in your hands, you thought

straightening up, the snacks and food on the table got pushed to another area by you in order to make space. wasting no time, the clack of your gold-accented black loafers on the lunch table alerted your friends if the sight of you physically on the table wasn't enough

"arataki itto!"

the boy in question jumped in his seat once he heard his full government name. sure, his eyes were on you the entire time, but he had never expected to become the center of attention. without a doubt, he loved it.

"im joining the arataki gang!"

"huh? no, you aren't! i don't want you looking down on ma' boys!" itto shifted his body in a way to say that he was, too, going to stand on the table, but your eyes flickered between him and his seat. stay right there

- - -

itto smiled mischievously. he formulated a whole plan just to tease you. as much as he was interested in you, he went out of his way to make your upcoming association with his gang a living hell. the list went from mild things to tasks that would surely leave you irritated in the end. hopefully, it wouldn't get to that place. first on the agenda: "do you know how to roast a lavender melon?"

four ; floriculture

it's been two weeks since your first meeting with arataki itto. he's been pestering you ever since. going to whatever class you had last that day and "picking you up", subconsciously joining your separate friend groups, and even waiting for you when you're busy with council or club meetings.

day one

calculus. it made the most minuscule amount of sense but you were somewhat good at it. just enough to get by. blissfully ignoring the teacher, you mentally counted the minutes left of the period, fiddling with your decorative pen. the f/c charm rattled against the plastic as you spaced out even more.

tap tap-

hearing the faint sound, you blinked repeatedly in order to wake yourself up. "pssst–! y/n!" tap tap again. the classrooms of teyvat high had windows on the walls part of the hallways. the purpose being that if a visitor ever came, they would be able to peer into the classes without disturbing them. unluckily, you were one of the students who sat here. at the wrong window.

the tapping became more and more impatient and from this you knew exactly who it was. taking out a notepad, you scribbled a few words. why aren't you in class.slipping it to the face of the window, you kept it there and looked on as itto scrambled to find a pen and paper. tap tap

a response. skipped. english is boring anyway! it's for losers!

then why are you here?

to wait for you obvoslie.

wait longer then

whered you get that pen

bought it online. i have a whole pack, see. you held up the rest of your decorative pens, each one adorning a charm

they're pretty. just like you

ring ring!

jumping out of your seat, you zipped up your pencil case and shoved it in your bag. itto peeked into the classroom and took a picture of you, before helping you pack up.

"let me walk you home, y/n!"

day two

"you live that way, itto" pointing in the direction opposite the one you're heading in, you sighed

"uhhh– no i don't! i live this way! yeah!"

day three

"i know just how much you love to wait for me but i have a council meeting so... go home."

"ehhh? nope. nuh-uh! i'm stayin' right here!"

day ???

the lush emerald grass made a wonderful bed for the various plants that the gardening club cultivated. a few members of the club tended to neglect their plants and forget to water them more often than not. you took it upon yourself to do their job, since they were so bad at it

humming along to the sight of fresh water trickling out of the light blue watering can granting the flowers of the garden a new layer of dew

"who is that?"

"is she... watering our plants?!"

you were unaware of the angry mob racing towards you, focusing solely on the task at hand. "excuse me!" hesitantly turning around, you quickly hid the watering can behind you. "ah–! hello? is something the matter?" the boy in front of you, scoffed, crossing his arms. "is something the matter? yeah something's the matter! you're watering our plants! don't you know what will happen if they get too much water!?"

another member of the club, seemingly tagging along, scooted closer to his superior, whispering in his ear: "tighnari... isn't that..." he shriveled up at the sight of his leader's glare

"yeah! thats the girl who waters our plants!" you've been found out. not very fun. you had hoped that you could go the rest of your senior year silently insulting the gardening club but alas, you failed

bringing the watering can to your side, you stood still as it made a muffled clunk sound. staring into the alleged club leader, tighnari's eyes, you briefly understood why his subordinate was so terrified

uttering a few words, you took off in a sprint. luckily it was dismissal already so racing out of the steel gates wouldn't be frowned upon. most people would think you had something important to do, being in the student council and all. as your conscious ensured that you were very far away from the fuming tighnari, you slowed down, evening out your breathing as well. continuing to walk on your path home, it took you a while to realize the abundance of silk flowers and cecilias that enveloped your view. for some reason, itto always chose this place to take you home from. when confronted as to why, he often muttered it just... reminds me of you

unconsciously stopping due to an unfortunate habit, you began to touch and prod the symmetrical petals of the flora, passing time. more often than not, you took out your camera and snapped some photos. as usual, only some of the beauty can be pictured in a photo and the depiction can never compare to the true, ethereal thing

ping!

a message. you told yourself that it was most likely a text from ganyu or zhongli, informing about a council meeting reschedule, or that group chat being led by venti's and kaeya's stupidity.

arataki itto...: i cant take you home today SORRHY :((

you had gotten accustomed to itto bothering you at any chance he got, so the former not being able to today, made you feel at ease. plus, you got to take more pictures! it was a win-win situation!

sliding one side of your earbuds in, you listened to music, subconsciously humming along as you walked home

- - -

a couple meters away from your residence, you felt eyes on you. listening in, you heard faint footsteps and by the weight, it appeared to be a male. it couldn't have been kaeya or childe due to diluc most likely talking them out of it. venti isn't that mean and thoma is busy at work. meaning that this is a random. ass. man.

reaching into your pocket, you readied your pepper spray and got your taser in hand. slowing your steps, you mentally counted down from three; soon enough, you'd give this person a real show

three... two... one...!

you turned around quickly, turning on your taser and letting it touch the man. he jolted in and out of place as the electrical currents ran through his body. although, you failed to realize that said man was already being strangled. but by who?

switching the electricity off and lowering your arm to your side, you looked up, just to see alabaster hair, never without the iconic titian eyes

"uh...ow?"

as your eyes widened involuntarily, the autumn breeze blew past. you could've sworn that you'd seen this exact scene in a k-drama. the female and male leads having an unexpected reunion. but this wasn't a show

"what the fuck?"

you promptly got yourself stationed next to itto. poking him, you pointed to the ghastly body on the sidewalk

"itto... we killed him..."

- - -

a couple things you've learned so far: the man is not dead, and his name is albert who apparently hails from mondstadt. a senior at teyvat high as well, but neither you nor itto have ever seen him before

the screech of a chair against the linoleum floor came with a plop and a sigh as well. the police investigator sat in front of you, murmuring. "its always this albert... seven cases in the past month! what the fuck is wrong with him... oh." she had stopped her rant once you made eye contact with each other

"right! i'll need your name, miss. for filing purposes." completely understanding, you were about to give the investigator your information but itto decided to do that for you. "her? that's my future wife! and me? arataki 'numero uno' itto in the flesh! we're gonna become the best power couple ever! swear it!"

grimacing, the lady promptly asked if you would like to write a complaint against him as well. to which, you hung your head low and shook it. you could endure whatever infatuation itto has with you

"wait! i still need your name!"

- - -

the stone sidewalk served as a perfect place to uproot pebbles and kick them around in the setting sun. the sky was a mix between yellow, orange, and red, vividly reminding you of a snapdragon. though you were most interested in floriculture, you also enjoyed horticulture as a whole

recently, you've taken a liking to aquatic plants in particular. it was interesting that specimens could thrive on water and a few minerals, and yet receive all the nutrients required

"y/n..." a whiny voice was unfitting for a man of such stature. it rang through your ears reverberantly. "n/n..." there came another. flinching, the small rock rolled forwards, still feeling the slight force of your foot act upon it

"who said you could call me that? only my friends can do that?" turning around to itto, you crossed your arms and leaned on your hip. "really?! after all we've been through? we're basically best friends!" itto's eyes blew wide, overcome by shock. how could you betray him like this?!

softly shaking your head, you smiled a little. "we're barely acquaintances. and is 'all we've been through' walking home together? don't make me laugh."

"hey! its quality time! be honored to do such a thing with the almighty arataki itto! the chicks would beg for a chance like that!" itto matched your pose as he enunciated every syllable of 'quality' to get his point across

"quality time is a term if both parties enjoy it."

"hah?! whatareya' trying to say here? you don't enjoy the time we spend together?"

"i didn't say that, but its up for interpretation. what do you think, itto? do i like our quality time?"

carmendeez: FUCK YOUR INTUITUON

- - -

a ghost of a smile presented itself on your face as your eyes scanned the group chat. calling out for thoma once you reached komore, you sat in one of the barstool chairs, listening in on conversations for fun

"i can't believe he did that!"

"what?! the rumors are true?"

"yes! he confirmed it with me just a couple minutes ago!"

"so he actually sm-"

"HEY Y/N!!"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" you whipped your head to see the owner of the voice only to sigh out of exhaustion. "oh. it's you. hello." being dry on purpose, you hoped that he would leave, but alas you forgot. he's persistent. "you should come over to our table! i'll introduce you to my friends!" he subconsciously sat down in the seat next to you, rambling on and on about how his friends would love you. "no, thank you." silently wondering when thoma will be here, you fiddled with the fork.

"whaaat?! is it because of what happened earlier today? im really really sorry! you're partially to blame though-" itto apologized putting his hands into a prayer motion, making his voice go near silent at the end. "anyways! wanna hear about a new onikabuto i caught recently? it's super big, i just know it's tremendously strong! im naming it 'Crimson Crusher The Third' pretty cool name, huh? hey hey! did ya know i spent five whole days and nights to catch this bad boy!"

"thoma!" you stood up, chair moving behind your figure. "yeah?" peeking his head out, thoma smiled. "when the cake is done, bring it to itto's table. and for my sake, just tell her already!"

grabbing itto by the collar, you made him stand up and take you to his table. as you introduced yourself- well more of itto introduced you- to his friends, a unanimous ping came from five phones

oni dick: oh god...

finishing the last bite of your cake, you stood up and moved itto out of your way, signaling that you wanted to leave. "oh! lemme walk ya home!" picking up your umbrella, you ignored his request. near the door, the air got cold, and brisk water droplets filled the streets. rain. opening the door and putting your hand out, you thought thank god i didn't water them this morning. undoing your umbrella and stepping out, you wasted no time beginning the journey to your house. it was about a ten-minute walk away, seven if you're lucky.

"y/n! wait up!" your breath hitched as your eyes focused on one thing: that stupid soaked white shirt. itto ran his fingers through his wet hair, moving a couple of strands from out of his face in the process. with no proper coverage, itto willingly let himself get soaked. surely the feel of rain beating on his skin would make him uncomfortable? and especially that shirt. that damned shirt.

why he came out of his home sporting a tight white shirt knowing damn well it was going to rain, only the archons know. and the way his abs clung to his shirt for dear life. the sleeves stuck to his skin. everything about this was so ho-

"y/n! you were really gonna leave me like that?" sighing, you ripped your eyes away from the sight. "get under the umbrella." making a tsk sound, he moved closer to you. "here, i'll hold it." clasping his hands around yours, itto pried your fingers from the handle, a soft giggle escaping his mouth.

the walk was silent. well almost. itto often asked you questions to only be hit with basic one-word answers.

"hey... since you aren't holding the 'brella anymore, you must need something to hold. what about my hand! it'll do. cmon! let's hold hands!"

"do you think that rainwater will soothe the effect of pepper spray or will it just make it worse?"

"i've become immune to it since someone keeps spraying me!"

"it was one time! today! during lunch!"

two ; disharmonic

itto cheerfully skipped down the halls of teyvat high, lollipop in his mouth. students passing by gawked at his unusual mood and mentally made an escape route if he went rogue. entering the dining hall, he bounced over to his friends, sitting at their usual table. "oh-ho-ho...! what's got sir. arataki itto in such a good mood today?" childe looked up from his lunch, inspecting the man that adorned a painfully wide grin on his face. "you're right kaeya. he does seem happier!" "or, you're being dramatic." diluc spat, earning a pout from kaeya. "oh shut it! just because you're never happy doesn't mean itto can't be! ...now come over here. tell us everything." kaeya dragged itto to the nearest seat and sat him down, halting when he saw that purple flower.

"itto!" kaeya called out. "where did you get this?" pointing to the plant held tightly in his hands, itto briefly explained what occurred. "so... do you know who my flower girl could be?" a hopeful expression plastered itself onto the oni's face. "no." both kaeya and childe had not a clue, but diluc... "it's a viparyas. a sumeru flower. quite rare. might invest in it."

- - -

you melted in your seat as the flavors of thoma's desserts soothed your tongue. god, his food was good. partaking in conversation with your friends, you fixed your hair due to venti messing it up a few seconds prior. what? patting your head again, you felt around for your flower, but to no avail. standing up abruptly, you knelt on the floor and looked below the table and next to the chairs. "n/n? what's the matter?" kazuha spoke out, just as confused as the rest were. "my viparyas! it was in my hair just a moment ago..." bringing yourself to your feet, you rushed out of the room, yelling an 'i'll be back!'. racing up the treacherous stairs, you barged into the english room, eyes scanning for purple. looking under desks and even in them, you sighed defeatedly. you don't know where this damn viparyas could be. sulking on the way back to the dining area, a familiar sight caught your eye, along with a not-so-familiar figure.

marching over to that recognizable plant, you tapped the new wielder's shoulder but before you could get a word in, he spoke. "f-f-f-f-flower girl!" itto stood up from his seat and gave you a deep bow. you could've sworn he turned into a 90-degree angle. you simply stood there, and at intervals, looked at his friends sitting fairly amused at the table. "uh-! i mean! h-hey flower girl." itto realized what he was doing after about fifteen seconds and quickly straightened his body, making his voice a bit deeper in the process. kaeya and childe had to physically hold each other so that they wouldn't burst out laughing. giving him a forced smile and saying hello, you sighed as that was the only thing you could say before he started rambling again. "remember me? ha-ha! of course, you did! all the chicks come running back eventually! you just couldn't wait to tell me you've accepted my offer, could you?" you blinked once, and twice. then a third. you grew impatient with this man in front of you, and the stares you received from his friends didn't help either. lunch would soon be over, and you had a meeting right after. if you had nothing in your stomach, you wouldn't be able to sit there and listen to keqing talk about whatever was wrong now.

"after all, i am the leader of the arataki gang! chicks flock to me like... like... uh..." itto desperately tried to find an analogy to fit his statement, but his iq is in the single digits so he was working in vain. "itto, is it?" praying to the archons above, you wished that you wouldn't get interrupted again, consequentially losing your train of thought. "thats my flower. give it back." your body language visibly became stern and your words were proof that you were extremely irritable. itto, although not being the smartest one, surprisingly didn't take multiple minutes to realize your mood. 'ooohhh's from childe and kaeya broke the disharmonious silence as itto handed over your viparyas, defeated. finding the usual spot, you slid it into your hair, before genuinely smiling at itto.

- - -

"oh, there she is!" thoma quickly cut a slice of strawberry cake for you and walked over, stopping prematurely once he saw your running figure eyeing the cake in his hands. snatching the plate and fork, you took a bite, visibly expressing your contentment with the treat. itto stood there, watching as you conversed with thoma. she's with... thoma-bro... falling to his knees with a 'thump', diluc, childe, and kaeya exchanged glances before going about their days. itto was very dramatic, this was very normal. hearing the sound, you gave the near-empty plate back to thoma, whispering an 'i'll eat you later'. walking to the hunched-over man, you asked around to know what could've happened. "only the archons know...!" kaeya snickered, popping another chip in his mouth. "itto? is everything alri-"

in a simple second, your body was below his, and he cornered you with his arms. white hair gracefully draping over the both of you, his eyes met yours. the air was sweet as itto uttered a few words. "i knew you loved me- aw! fuck! what the hell?!" pushing your pepper spray back into your cardigan pocket, you escaped from his lock. saying goodbye, you turned back to thoma, just to be met with the entirety of your friend group. "on the floor?" heizou inquired, phone in hand. they all had their phones out. you were going to get blackmailed, no if's or but's about it. itto, still on the floor, picked up the viparyas that fell out of your hair, again. standing and sauntering over to you, he tapped your shoulder and suddenly his face was mere centimeters from yours. presenting the flower to you, he smiled whispering a 'for you, my lady'. reaching for the viparyas, itto pulled his hand back in response, grabbing your wrist a few seconds later. "put that pepper spray away, please? i've barely recovered. do you want to fuck up my eyes, again?" letting go of the device, you grabbed itto's forearm and pulled him closer. "and what if i do?"

taking his flustered mood as an opportunity, you plucked the flower from his hands, just for it to be taken from you once more. "let me do it." itto looked over your body, placing a finger to where your viparyas would usually be. "here right?" nodding as you braced yourself for the continuous explanations you'd have to conjure up, the bell rang, and luckily itto just finished accessorizing your hair. snatching your bag from kazuha and the slice of strawberry cake from thoma, you raced out of the dining hall, making sure that the viparyas didn't fall out this time.

"send the pics and videos you guys took in the group chat!" venti exclaimed, mischievously laughing before heading to his next class

one ; viparyas

new. fucking. seats. you listened to the whining of your classmates, conversing with your friends, waiting for your name to be called. "n/n! do you think miss minci will change her seats as well? if miss miko is doing it, the chances of minci rearranging them would increase wouldn't they?" you pulled your eyes away from the muted white light streaming into the classroom. the curtains dancing along with a soft breeze. striking red eyeliner adorned thought-ridden golden eyes. "of course she will. miko and minci are two peas in a pod. they do nothing without each oth–" a sweet and sultry voice called your name, telling you to enter the classroom. waving a bye and good luck to yoimiya, you took a deep breath and stepped inside. "secretary y/n. middle column, fourth row. next to that white lump." she briefly pointed to the figure hunched over in the chair, presumably taking a nap, before ushering you to your new assigned seat.

sliding your bag off your back, you let it rest on the back of the maple wood chair, attention redirecting to the view outside. the english room had a true view of the garden. an uncountable amount of flowers and trees were cultivated there, including cecilias, glaze lilies, sakura blooms, and padisarahs. but your ultimate favorite were the viparyases. the euphoric blend of the colors kept you at ease and the soft touch of the petals proved to be a perfect subject for your photos. sighing deeply, you envied the person who would be sitting at the window, overlooking such a captivating view. the quietness of the room quickly got overridden as more and more students received their seats. as the last desks were filled, miko allowed the rest of this period to be a free one, earning a bountiful amount of cheers.

yoimiya skipped next to you, sitting down in the chair in front of yours. you watched her eyes as she glanced over at your deskmate and back at you. "english this year is gonna be bad for you..." tilting your head in confusion, you promptly asked why. "oh. you don't know? ah, don't worry about it. you'll find out soon enough..." she laughed a bit, amused by her actions to keep you in the dark. "y/n!" a figure in green and white accents to complement the uniform ran towards you, a smile on his face. "the gardening club is adding new flowers! i heard that they're gonna plant new viparyases~!"

your breathing became heavy, and your eyes widened. new. viparyas. you looked out the nearby window and back at venti. "new viparyases! are you sure? really?" he chuckled at your enthusiasm, putting a hand on your shoulder. "yes i'm sure! the wind told me!"

shoulders relaxing, you shrugged venti's hand off, deadpanning. "hehe... you know n/n! you look like diluc when you make that face... haha... please don't hurt me!" you took steps closer and closer to the liar. he smiled in response and simply fixed the viparyas in your hair.

"the... arataki gang... rules...!"

you were busy play-fighting venti when a deep voice halted your movements. stiffly turning your head to the source and back to the green elf, you quizzically looked at him then yoimiya. the blaring of the lunch bell made you jolt and the students quickly packed up their stuff and rushed out, you included.

mere centimeters away from the door, you made a u-turn and marched on back to your shared desk. yoimiya and venti were waiting outside for you; slowly growing impatient, the former yelled. "y/n! what are you doing in there?!" your body shivered at the loud sound, not wanting such a thing to bother your... whatever this is. "i'm waking him up! and don't yell!" you softly tapped him on the shoulder while finding a softer alternative to screaming. soon enough, both the green elf and the red elf came stumbling into the classroom.

however, physically stumbling wasn't the only thing they were doing. they were also stumbling on their words. venti desperately tried to get out a "she's what?!" while pulling out his (unsurprisingly) green and white phone, starting to record the whole ordeal. and yoimiya was busy fake fainting and saying, or at least trying to, that "she'll miss you." pushing their antics aside, you continued to poke his shoulder. the more you poked him, the sleepier he got. in your eyes, there was only one more way. "NO! DON'T YOU DARE!" the fact that both your friends were advising you against this was a call but, who cares?

you stretched your body and heard the brisk crack of your knuckles and... pulled his hair. that ivory and cherry hair. it was soft, very soft. but your praise for this man's hair care routine quickly came to a stop as he snapped his head up. "who the fuck is touching my hair?!" venti scurried yoimiya and himself over to a safe spot, free from the man's wrath but of course, still recording. the man yelled out another string of threats but that made a 180 once you came into his view. "oh hey... pretty lady. don't mind about pulling my hair... you can pull it all you like. did'ya know i'm the leader of the all-renowned arataki gang? betcha' did but i'll remind you. being the leader means i got the mora..." he briefly made a money gesture and laughed so hard he almost choked before continuing. "to support you. i got a whole gang behind me. not to mention i'm loyal and will never fail you. don't forget, ridiculously handsome!"

you softly pulled your fingers out of his white hair, avoiding looking at those expectant eyes of his. backing away slowly, you signaled to your friends that it was not safe here and that we should leave. the man was sitting there, still hoping, while the three musketeers fled the room. "wha–? HEY! THE NAMES ARATAKI ITTO! DON'T FORGET IT!" he yelled, praying to the archons above that he was still in earshot of them.

itto packed up his stuff and walked towards the door before a purple-hued object grazed his view. picking it up, he studied it carefully and closely

this is the plant that was in that pretty girl's hair

looks kinda weird but it's pretty i guess

wait! now i have a reason to find her!

flower girl, here i come!
