Tsuzuru Minagi | [N] Moon Traveler | Role Study: Gino
Tumblr media
Kazunari: --Ah! Found you~!
Kazunari: Gotcha! Tsuzurun, Tsuzurun!
Tumblr media
Tsuzuru: Uwah! Hey, you’re going to get someone hurt doing that!
Kazunari: Sorries ☆
Tsuzuru: Geez… What was with that all of a sudden?
Kazunari: I came to talk to ya about the next play’s flyers~.
Kazunari: I was wondering if you could tell me a lil’ bit about the setting of the play and all that so I can get a better idea of the vibes for the flyers!
Tsuzuru: Ah, yeah. Sure thing.
Kazunari: In the story, there’s these moon dwellers, right? So what kinda idea did you have in mind for them?
Tsuzuru: Eh? You wanna go with that?
Tsuzuru: Aah, well, they’re kinda orthodox… Something like, they have big, gleaming eyes.
Tsuzuru: What am I even saying? I’m trying to put it into words but it all sounds so mundane.
Kazunari: How about you try drawing it then? Here’s some paper and a pen.
Tsuzuru: Eh, I’m drawing it!? Hmm… I guess I have a rough idea of what I have in mind…
Tsuzuru: Something like this, with a round head and…
Kazunari: Mhm, mhm.
*Door opens*
Muku: Huh, Tsuzuru-san, Kazu-kun, what are you guys drawing?
Kazunari: We’re working on the vibes for the flyers!
Sakuya: So that’s what you’re doing.
Tsumugi: I’m looking forward to seeing the next flyer design.
Kazunari: Just leave it to me! I’ll make you some hella awesome flyers.
Kazunari: For reference, I’m having Tsuzurun draw up an idea of the moon dwellers.
Yuki: Ugh, just how all over the place are you making those aliens…
Tsuzuru: T-They’re not that bad!
Tumblr media
Sakuya: Oh, I think they look pretty good!
Tsuzuru: Sakuya… The one who’s always nice to me…
Tsumugi: Usually, it’s easy for everyone to have their own ideas… But do you have any context for this one here?
Muku: Context?
Kazunari: Yeah, that! If it’s seeming too boring, just spice it up by throwing in some lore!
Tsuzuru: Hmm, I guess… It eats… Sand, and it converts the heat from the sun into energy…
Muku: Waah, It’s almost like a complete alien with how different it is from humans!
Tumblr media
Sakuya: I think it sounds very alien!
Tsuzuru: Maybe from the bottom of your heart you were truly trying to compliment me, but that sounds like it means there’s no element of surprise about it…
Tsuzuru: I want the overall feel to be more memorable and unique…
Sakuya: Well then, how about we ask for everyone else’s input?
Tsumugi: That’s not a bad idea. It’s a Spring Troupe performance, so I think the best way is to come up with something with everyone in Spring Troupe through a role study.
Tsuzuru: I getcha. Alright, I’ll bring it up at our next practice.
Sakuya: Yeah! I try and think on it too!
Muku: I wonder how all the dwellers will turn out.
Yuki: They’ll probably turn out like a total uncoordinated mess.
Kazunari: I’m def hyped for it! Lookin’ forward to seeing everyone’s ideas ♪

Recollections and Heartfelt Wishes 2
Writer: Mitsuki
Character(s): Mashiro Tomoya, Sengoku Shinobu, Akehoshi Subaru, Oogami Koga, Hibiki Wataru, Nito Nazuna, Kiryu Kuro
Translated by: jewwyfeesh
CN/EN Proof by: stcrfeesh
(Edit 07/02/24: fixed appellation errors)
Tomoya: Looking closely, Leon’s also licking Oogami-senpai’s hand. I think he’s trying to cheer him up as well?
Tumblr media
Season: Summer Location: Koga's Dorm Room
Tumblr media
Koga: (What the hell…! Those two bastard senpais, makin’ all sorts of stupid faces on those programs to make people laugh… strictly speakin’, all yer doin’ is embarrassing us!)
(They’re always busy with some sort of social engagements nowadays. Greetin’ all those big-wigs with a subservient smile, actin’ like a bunch of submissive kouhais in front of ‘em! What the hell is that supposed to mean?!)
(Rockin’ with reckless abandon, ventin’ the deepest cries of the soul… that’s what we UNDEAD should be doin’!)
Tumblr media
(We weren’t like this before…)
Tumblr media
(DEADMANS and UNDEAD… will we become nothin’ more than old photos that no one’ll care about?)
………
Tsk. What shitty timing…
What? Whaddya need my help with? I’m real busy right now, so if it ain’t somethin’ important, then f**k off.
Tumblr media
Haah? Somethin’ went wrong with the rehearsal? Weren’t y’all yappin’ on and on ‘bout how y’all are all independent li’l shits, and y’all don’t need my guidance anymore?
…Yeah yeah, I got it. I’ll head over now.
Location: Seishou Hall Common Room
Tumblr media
Kuro: Oogami looks as if he ate some gunpower. Did someone make him angry?
Nazuna: Um… I’m not too sure what’s up with Koga-chin, but he does seem a little off recently.
Kuro: Recently…? Did something happen? Given Oogami’s personality, he might be obsessin’ over something again…
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Maybe I’m thinkin’ too much about it, but Koga-chin might have something weighing on his mind. The last time he attended ANIMALS circle activity—
[A few days earlier, in the Seishou Hall Courtyard]
Tumblr media
Nazuna: With that, we’ll be commencing the final round of ANIMALS’ 19th Frisbee Catching Contest! Let’s see who will be the one to take home the title of overall champion ♪
Koga: …………
Subaru: Hey~ Gami-san, Gami-san, are you zoning out? It’s your turn to throw the frisbee!
Tumblr media
Daikichi and Leon are anxiously running around your feet in circles, watching you grip the frisbee in your hand like that~
Koga: …Eh? Oh, I don’t need ya to remind me about these li’l things. I’ll throw ‘em now, so watch carefully—
Subaru: Oooh, as expected of Gami-san! The frisbee flew really far away, I almost lost sight of it! Go go go, Daikichi ☆
Tomoya: …Eh? Why did both of them suddenly stop? Did they lose sight of the frisbee?
Nazuna: Aish, seems like this is a mistake on Koga-chin’s part, ‘cause the frisbee flew into the tree over there!
Tumblr media
Subaru: Mm~ I think it got stuck on those branches over there. In that case, I’ll climb up and retrieve it ♪
Nazuna: Wait, wait, that’s too dangerous, Subaru-chin! Would it be better to get a ladder instead?
Tomoya: In that case, I’ll go back to Seishou Hall to get one…!
Tumblr media
???: Oya oya~? Seems like I’ve arrived at the purrfect time ☆
Tomoya: Waah?! Two doves flew out from nowhere and fetched the frisbee with ease?!
That voice just now sounded really familiar… Why am I getting such a strong sense of déjà vu…
Tumblr media
Wataru: That’s right, I hereby extend my greetings to you from a flurry of falling feathers! It is your very own Hibiki Wataru ☆
Tomoya: Masked Pervert…?! Why are you here!? Didn’t you say that you couldn’t come join our Circle’s activities?
Wataru: Hehehe, life is fun because it’s brimming with uncertainty and mystery! This is the surprise I’ve prepared for everyone today ♪
Tumblr media
Seems like my doves are the winners of this Frisbee Catching Contest! How’s that, isn’t it more Amazing when the winners are unexpected ☆
Subaru: Eh~ I object, I object! If you didn’t sign up but join the competition anyway, this is a foul! I request a rematch!
Nazuna: Hm, Subaru-chin’s not wrong either. In view of being fair, let’s get Koga-chin to throw the frisbee again, and have the doves start from a clean slate. Is this okay with everyone?
Koga: …Ah? Oh, it’s my turn again? ‘Kay, let’s go…!
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Unyaa! I haven’t even called to start yet—Oh no, it’s– it’s been thwown (thrown) up a twee (tree)!! Though it’s another tree this time!!
Tumblr media
???: Uwah, that really hurts…!
As it is, I’ve already been discovered, so I’ll just reveal myself… heh!
Nazuna: Sh-Shinobu-chin?! You just jumped down from the tree! Are you alright?
Tumblr media
Shinobu: Hee hee hee, Nito-dono needn’t worry, please accept this frisbee! My ‘Acrobatic Martial Arts’ jutsu has evolved quite a lot, and I can climb trees much easier now!
In fact, I’ve been practising my ‘Breath Concealment’ ninjutsu here, and wanted to see how long I could go before someone notices me! I was really confident too…
So I didn’t expect Oogami-dono to accurately hit me with a flying prop! Oogami-dono is really awesome~!
Subaru: Mhm! Gami-san is really cool. I still can’t believe he managed to throw the frisbee up the tree both times! How did you do it? Please teach me too~
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Erm… no, that doesn’t quite sound like praise when you say it like that…
Koga: …………
Nazuna: (Eh? Koga-chin didn’t retort immediately… that’s rare. He’s also a little too quiet today. Perhaps he’s somewhat distracted…?)
Koga-chin, are you tired from playing? You can go have a rest in the shade, if you like.
Koga: …Ah? I’m good. I’ve yet to really exercise my body, so I’m hella pumped up right now!
In the end, the real question is why are so many weird things happenin’ because of me throwin’ a frisbee?
Tumblr media
Wataru: Non~ Non! If life were truly just like a pool of stagnant water, devoid of love and of surprises… the heart will wither and die before the body.
Nazuna: Back to the topic~ Now that Shinobu-chin’s here too, shall we all play together?
Shinobu: Oh, oh, even though I’m a member of OCEANS, I am also interested in the activities hosted by ANIMALS! Then, I’ll be in your care!
Wataru: Welcome, welcome! The winner of today’s competition has yet to be decided… so how about I organise a cheerleading squad to cheer everyone on ☆
Shinobu: Uwah!! One after another, doves fly out from Hibiki-dono’s pockets, just like a ninja using an animal in their jutsu! I’m so impressed!
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Eh? There’s a dove that seems to know me, even taking the initiative to fly onto my shoulder… ah, are you Jeanne d’Arc?
Subaru: Uwahhhh so cool~! There’s a dove flapping its wings while perched on Daikichi’s back, I wonder if it’ll be able to help Daikichi take off ☆
Come look, come look, there’s another dove perched on Gami-san’s knee, tilting its head and staring up at him! Ahaha, this makes a really interesting picture for sure, I wanna use my phone and take a photo real quick ♪
Tumblr media
Wataru: Ahh, turns out it’s that child. To be honest, it has a very gentle and soft personality – if it see’s that someone’s upset or sad, it’ll take the initiative to go comfort them.
Nazuna: That is to say, Koga-chin’s feeling a little down today, to the point where even the little animals have noticed it.
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Looking closely, Leon’s also licking Oogami-senpai’s hand. I think he’s trying to cheer him up as well?
Subaru: Gami-san, if you encounter any problems, remember to tell me! I’ll definitely help you out!
Koga: My god… the both of you really love fussin’ over others, don’t you? I’m fine, there’s nothin’ wrong with me. It’s just that ‘m busy revisin’ for the upcomin’ exams, and tired myself out. That’s all.
Tumblr media
Y’all should stop surroundin’ me asking stupid questions; go and play or somethin’. I’m not a child that needs an adult to take care of them 24/7.

Lars and Fluffy Delacroix
Delacroix's Christmas 2★
Location: kitchen (morning) | Characters: Delacroix, Munch, Rubens, Millet
Tumblr media
Delacroix: ('Course, I know Christmas means Santa Claus, but I never thought I'd have to wear a Santa suit myselg. No matter how ya look at it, I don't look good as Santa Claus…)
Haah… We've got more discussions to have after this, so I'll just drink some water and go back to the atelier.
Lars: Woof!
Delacroix: Woah!? That surprised me…
You're Rubens's dog, arentcha? The hell ya doin' here?
Lars: Woof woof!
Delacroix: Uh, hey, stop playin' with me! Why are ya rubbin' up against me like that… It tickles!
(He usually doesn't come near me at all…!)
Millet: Lars, you're totally pining for Delacroix.
Delacroix: Millet!? And there's Munch too…
Munch: Waah, Dela-chan has become Santa-saaan!~ Why are you dressed like that??
Delacroix: We're supposed to have a Christmas parade. So I had to wear it.
Lars: Woof!
Delacroix: Ah, hey! Don't try to climb up, it's dangerous.
(Huh, this guy… He's so fluffy. And his eyes are so sparkly and cute… Wait, no! Playin' with dogs ain't rock!)
Munch: Santa Dela-chan and Lars are good friends! Like me and my friends!
Millet: Lars also looks happy to be hugged by Delacroix. It's a very funny scene, isn't it?
Delacroix: I-I'm not smiling at all! I mean, why is he showing me so much affection!?
Munch: Mumble mumble… I seee!
You know, my friend said this. Dela-chan has a fluffy coat, so they thought it might be because of it!
Millet: I see. It's a pretty coat and maybe he was familiar with it. Good for you, Delacroix.
Delacroix: It ain't good at all!
Lars: Woof!
Delacroix: Wait, hey, don't lick me! C'mon, go to Millet and the others.
Munch: Hahaha, Lars is chasing Santa Dela-chan! They're so close♪
Lars: Woof! Woof!
Delacroix: I told ya don't hug me. It's not safe if ya wander 'round my feet!
(I'd feel sorry for him if I hurt him… Damn, what am I supposed to do?)
Rubens: There you are, Lars. I've been looking for you, you know?
Lars: Woof!
Rubens: Fufu, did Delacroix-chan play with you? Good for you.
Delacroix: Finally, your owner's here. Now ya can finally let me go and–
Lars: Woof woof!
Delacroix: Wha, why are ya comin' over here!?
Millet: It seems like Lars really likes Delacroix's clothes…
Rubens: Ara, that sounds fun♪ He loves you so much!
Delacroix: Ain't it strange that he likes me that much!? If you're the owner, do somethin' about it!
Rubens: Well then… Why don't you just take off that coat?
Delacroix: …! That's the way to do it! How 'bout this!
Lars: Woof!
Rubens: Welcome back, Lars♪
Millet: I knew he was reacting to the coat.
Delacroix: Haah, this made it easier…
Rubens: Ara, it looked like you were having a lot of fun though, am I right? You're not so honest, Delacroix-chan♪
Delacroix: Wha… I wasn't havin' fun or anythin'! I-I didn't have any fun at all!

Letting the last droplets of water fall on your exposed shoulders, you turned the water off, putting the showerhead to its previous place after showering the bubbles of your body. Drying your body with a soft towel you prepared beforehand, you slipped into your underwear, opening the bathroom door and going to the bedroom, being met with the sight of your husband Hongjoong, who was currently laying on your shared bed, watching some things on his phone with headphones plugged in.
His eyes peeked on your exposed figure and as they landed on your stomach, they immediately widened, you could see how he swiftly jumped from his place, falling on the ground from the unsuccessful jump. Collecting himself, he got on his knees in front of you. „What the fuck are you doing Joongie?” Hongjoong was switching between looking at your belly and looking up at your face.
„Oh my, you grew a baby bump, oh my god, that's my baby inside you.” His hands cupped the bottom of your belly, poking it with amazement in his eyes, trying to find out if it's really a baby growing inside of you. „Waah, neither of these feel real, whether the fact that there's a tiny clump of cells growing inside of you, that will eventually turn into a human being or the fact that you're so fucking cute with this cute little bump. Literally, how did a deserve you?“ letting out a small chuckle at his words full of amazement, you kneeled to be on his eye level, looking deep into his sparkling dark eyes and pecking the tip of his nose, putting your hands on top of his. „I have the same question, Kim Hongjoong.“

Stirring the veggie mix in the wok, you rummaged through the cabinets, looking for soy sauce to add to the vegetables. Humming to a random song you heard on a radio a few days ago, swinging your hips to the rhythm. „What are you cooking, darling?“ Almost jumping from your spot as your husband Seonghwa unexpectedly wrapped his arms around your waist, you tried to calm your breath still shocked from the unanticipated touch.
„Hwa, baby, you should work on this awful habit of yours, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. Please let me know beforehand before you talk or hug me from behind. Stirred veggies with rice and tofu.“ Nuzzling his face into your neck like a hurt puppy, he apologized for scaring you in a tiny barely hearable voice.
Embracing you in a tight hug that kept you close to him as you cooked. „Hm, wait, what is it?“ Turning your head around to look at his confused face. „What do you mean?“ His hands started to caress your lower stomach, poking and pressing on it. „What are you doing Hwa? It tickles!“ Not stopping his actions you slipped out of his embrace, turning your body around to face him.
„Wait, let me touch it again, I swear it changed,... like the structure of your stomach, it's different.“ Kneeling in front of you he lifted your t-shirt, looking at it and resuming his previous actions. Squirming from the tickling touch of his fingers, you let out soft squeals. „Oh my god, Y/N, it really changed. Could it be the baby? Oh my, right, it must be the baby, your lower belly is rounding.“
„You weirdo, examining the changes in the structure of my stomach.“

As you finished cutting some fruit for the boys, you placed the bowls on the coffee table in their living room. Your husband Yunho sitting on the couch watching as you took care of his friends, his hand wrapping around you and pulling you back to his lap, your back falling onto his chest. „Rest baby, you don't need to take care of them, they're adults, even though they sometimes don't act that way.” nodding and smiling at his playful advice. „But I want to, you know I have to train these motherly skills for our baby.” whispering into his ear for only him to hear, you turned around to face the boys who were half-arguing about who's the best character in a show they're watching.
„Eat up, I cut those fruits for you, you need vitamins.” before you even finished your sentence, Yeosang was already stuffing his mouth with watermelon, making you all burst out laughing. „No worries Y/N, you should rest, also can I ask you something?” nodding to Hongjoong's hesitant words, he asked you the question he was referring to.
„I don't want to come off rude or anything, so please don't take it that way, but isn't your baby bump showing already?” the man underneath you quickly straightened up, bending down to look at your stomach because of his hyung's words. „Oh my god, Y/N, why didn't you tell me your baby bump is showing.” turning around to face Yunho's surprised face. „I thought you noticed..?”
Wooyoung and San let out loud laughter at how flushed Yunho was. „Yunho you should've seen how you looked right now, you really didn't notice Y/N's baby bump? I can't with you. Try to use your eyes sometimes. But to be honest, who would've thought that your sperm would grow to this size, impressive.” Those two couldn't stop laughing, Yunho only put on his expression of a hurt puppy as you pecked his nose with reassuring words. „Don't worry Yuyu, it might work out next time.”
⩥ 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐞𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠
Tumblr media
When Yeosang found out that you're pregnant, he couldn't hide the happiness. He was so excited but so scared at the same time. Buying a lot of educational books and attending workshops, to know how to become the best dad. At the same time, he wanted your pregnancy to be memorable so you two can have lovely reminiscences to remember in a few years. Apart from the basic medical record, you two built up a habit of taking pictures every week, to see how your body changed as the weeks of your pregnancy passed.
„Okay okay, go there Y/N, keep still as every week.” Snapping the picture of your figure standing in front of the white wall from side and front. You sat down on Yeosang's lap, arms wrapping around his neck as you looked at the screen of the camera in his hands, switching between today and last week's photos. „Wah, Y/N look! Your baby bump got visible since the last week. Aww, our baby is growing well inside you.” smiling at his adorable attitude. „Aww Yeosangie, are you crying?” Amazed at how quick you noticed it, he swiftly wiped the tears off his eyes. „No I'm not crying, it was just dirt in my eye.”
„One day, when our baby will be older, I will tell it a story about how its father teared up when it was growing in my womb.“ Giving you a death glare, Yeosang turned off the camera with the photos he took. „Try to embarrass me in front of my child and I'm going to sublime into another galaxy.“ Chuckling at his sarcastic remark you hugged his muscular frame. „Please don't, I'd have no one to tease then, Sangie.“
⩥ 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢 𝐒𝐚𝐧
Tumblr media
Looking at yourself in the body-length mirror, you examined your body, hugging your frame and trying to cover the parts you didn't like. Especially the gained pregnancy fat on the lower stomach. Turning around, trying to find the angle you looked the best in. Not aware of your husband San observing your movements, while leaning on the door frame. His voice scaring the heck out of you, as he spoke. „What are you doing, darling?“ Turning around you looked at him, your hands wrapped around your body to cover as much as possible. „I- Don't you think I gained weight, Sannie? Especially some fat on my stomach and I'm not even that far in my pregnancy. What am I going to do? I feel so bad.“ San put on his pout at your negative remarks, approaching you, he stood behind you, looking at you in the mirror.
„Baby, I can't explain how much it hurts me to hear you thinking this way of yourself. You're absolutely gorgeous Y/N, darling, it's not any belly fat, and even if it was, it doesn't matter, it's your cute little baby bump. That's our baby that's showing and you shouldn't talk so negative about it.“ Kissing your temple and shoulders, he dropped on his knees, hands falling onto your bump, caressing it and letting his lips brush against your skin, giving it small pecks full of love. „Please Y/N, I'll do anything I can if it helps you overcome your insecurities. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on. You're also the woman that carries my child, and you have my full respect for that. And this cute little baby bump makes you even prettier honey. Now, should I make you some snacks? You need to eat meals with a lot of nutrients so you and our baby can be healthy.“ Smiling at his heart-warming words, you took his hand that tugged you out of the room, taken aback by how did you deserve a man like this.

„Mhm Y/N... I'm so exhausted“ your husband Mingi whined, coming out of the shower after working out. „Do you wanna watch a movie? Come on, lay yourself on me and relax, Mingi. There won't be as many opportunities to do this from now on, so lay down.“ Nodding the tall figure of your husband approached you, sitting down on the couch, you spread your legs to create a space for him to lay in, before turning on the TV with your favourite series playing. As Mingi was about to lay his head on your lower belly, he noticed the slight change in its size. Lifting your t-shirt he saw how your lower belly rounded.
„Oh my god- Y/N! Why didn't you tell me your baby bump was showing omo! Y/N Y/N, that's my baby!“ chuckling at his excitement over your belly rounding, you agreed to his words. „Yes, Mingi, that's your baby. Now lay down please, so we can watch the series.“ Brushing your fingers through his brown locks, you tried to softly push his head to lay in your lap. „I don't want to Y/N. You lay in my lap, I don't want to lay on your belly, what if I hurt the baby? Oh my, that would be horrible, I'm sure that since the baby is growing already, it would feel suffocated by my head laying on your baby bump.“ Raising your eyebrows at his gibberish, trying to hold back the laughter at his cute dumbness. „Mingi, please, respectfully shut the fuck up and lay on my lap, you don't want to anger a pregnant woman by not agreeing with her. You won't hurt the baby, so lay down.“ Putting on his 'scared puppy' expression, he listened to you, laying carefully on your belly, your fingers playing with his soft hair, making ponytails and braiding them as you two watched the series.

Clipping your fancy earrings and necklace set, you finished adorning your look with accessories. Looking at your figure in the tight-fitting velvet dress, that perfectly fitted the occasion of Wooyoung's business gala. Your eyes dropping at the baby bump that was getting more visible as the weeks of your pregnancy went on, especially in this dreses. But maybe it was just your detailed eye since no one appeared to notice, not even your husband.
Walking down the stairs to the living room where your husband Wooyoung was, already dressed in a well-fitting tuxedo. Playing some games on his phone while waiting for you to finish dressing and stuff. „Woo, I'm done.“ He turned around to look at you, his eyes widening at the ethereal beauty. „Waau, baby, that dress is breath-taking, absolutely worth the money. You're gorgeous, you look like an absolute goddess. Can you turn around?“ Turning around on your heels, showing off yourself in all angles for him to see, his cheerful clapping, like he was your number-one fan, let you gain confidence in yourself. „I don't remember marrying a model, but you for sure look like one.“ coming closer to you his arms wrapped around your frame, one hand falling onto your lower stomach. Leaning closer to you, Wooyoung whispered into your ear: „Especially with that baby bump, you look so cute, it adds to your beauty.“
„I didn't know you noticed...“ Wooyoung pouted at your words because he didn't know that was what you thought of him. „Of course I noticed, what do you take me for?... I just didn't want to mention it, because I didn't know how you felt about that and didn't want to make you insecure by mentioning your baby bump growing, but I just couldn't help myself, it looks too cute on you.“

Work tired the heck out of you and Jongho couldn't watch your soulless state full of stress anymore. So his surprising gift for you in a form of a wellness trip was very appreciated. Having a week to spend to focus on yourself, your husband and the little bundle of joy in your womb, was the best thing he could give you. So as you two packed your belongings, and Jongho drove you two to the wellness hotel you could finally breathe out.
„Come on Y/N, let's take our luggage to the hotel room and then dive straight into a hot tub, I feel like my muscles are as stiff as rock.“ taking the luggage out of your hand, Jongho took them to your hotel room, your body fell on the soft mattress of your king-sized bed. „Get up, princess, we gotta go swimming and then we can go to a hot tub. Light exercise is important for a pregnant woman and her baby.“ groaning, you took the swimsuit Jongho threw at you and went to the bathroom to change, putting some dress onto it so you're not bare when you walk through the hotel.
Taking a deep breath after the hour of swimming, you thought you'd collapse from how exhausting it was. „Jongho I'm gonna kill you, you told me that we were gonna rest the whole week.“
„But exercising is resting as well. Okay then, if you're so exhausted, you can be glad that you have such a caring and strong husband, who has no problem with carrying you to the hot tub.“ Glaring at him, you could sense that he was just teasing you with his words. You yelped as he suddenly picked you up, carrying you bridal style, before getting into the hot tub with you still in his hands.
As he sat down with you still in his hands, you wrapped your arms around his neck, nuzzling yourself into his chest. Not aware of his eyes glaring and examining your stomach. „Baby.“ raising your eyebrows at him, thinking he wanted to tell you something, since baby was one of the many nicknames he had for you. „Baby. There's a baby in you. I can see it, oh my- Can I touch it?“

i couldn't find Mingi's gif from this set, i'm gonna cry

( Things finally calmed down, but now it feels too quiet, I’m only growing more worried... )
( I was told not to leave my room but... )
( Just a few minutes won’t hurt, right...? )
ー Yui leaves her room and steps out into the hallway
Laito: Ayato-kuun~ Hold up~
Ayato: You wish!
Yui: ( Oh...? Seems like they’re still up to something? )
Kanato: You’re a mess, Subaru. It’s hurting my eyes so could you get out of my sight?
Reiji: He really does. We can handle the rest by ourselves, so go take a shower.
Subaru: Che, don’t order me ‘round! I was gonna do that anyway!
Shuu: ...Guess I’ll come with you then...I’m sure it’ll be quieter there than if I were to stay here.
Yui: ( Ayato-kun and Laito-kun’s voices were coming from the very back of the right hallway... )
( I can hear the others from the left side... )
( I’m worried about all of them, but I’m especially curious about... )
Selection
→ The right (Ayato, Laito)
Yui: ( I’ll try going right. )
ー Yui turns right
Ayato: What the fuck, Reiji!? Makin’ us do this annoyin’ shit.
Laito: Ah-aah, today was supposed to be fun, but because of you, we have to drag around all this stuff.
Ayato: Aah!? Excuse me!?
Laito: I’m not wrong, am I? We were chased out of the kitchen because you kept on making things explode.
Ayato: B-Blame the food for havin’ the nerve to explode on me!
Laito: Your excuses make no sense...
ー Yui approaches them
Yui: Ah, Ayato-kun! Laito-kun!
Ayato: The fuck’s your problem!?
Yui: ...!!
Laito: ...Wait, Bitch-chan!?
Wait, Ayato-kun, quiet!
Ayato: ...Che...
Laito: Say, Bitch-chan? Didn’t Reiji tell you to stay in your room?
Yui: Yeah, he did but, well, I was worried so...
You know...About the explosions and such...
Ayato: Uu...
Yui: Or the sound of stuff falling down...
Laito: Ahahaha...
Yui: And you guys’ screams as well...
Ayato: ...So, you came to check what’s causin’ all of that?
Yui: That too...However, I was more worried that one of you might have gotten hurt.
Laito: Nfu~ Sounds like you. However, as you can see, we’re all doing just fine.
Yui: ( ...They don’t seem to be hurt at first glance at least. )
Laito: Well then, Bitch-chan. Make sure to return to your room, okay?
Yui: ...B-But...
Tell me if there’s anything I can help with, okay?
Ayato: You’d be of no help, honestly.
Yui: ...I-I see...
Laito: Nfu~ You can just take it easy in your room and not worry about a thing, okay?
Yui: ...Okay...
( There’s nothing for me to do... )
( I’m worried about everyone, but it can’t be helped, right? I’ll go back to my room... )
Ayato: Ah...Right, Chichinashi. You can have this. Here.
*Rustle*
Yui: ...?
( A beautifully wrapped box...? )
Ayato: Reiji told me to give this to you.
Yui: I-I see...
( From Reiji-san...? )
Ayato: Ahー He also said you should open it once you’re back in your room.
Yui: ( Once I’m back in my room...? )
( I was told to go to my room earlier as well, and now again? I wonder what’s going on...? )
Ayato: Anyway, we’re busy, so you should hurry back to your room and open up that box.
Yui: ...Yeah, gotcha. Thank you, Ayato-kun.
( Hm...I’m curious...I guess I’ll return to my room for now and take a peek inside. )
→ The left (Shuu, Reiji, Kanato, Subaru)
Yui: ( I’ll try going left. )
ー Yui turns left
Yui: ( Is nobody here...? )
Subaru: ...Che, I’m covered in this crap from head to toe ‘cause of those bastards...
Yui: ( Ah, Subaru-kun! He doesn’t seem hurt in any way... )
Subaru: One day they’re catching these fists. I’m punchin’ them for sure, no matter what.
Yui: ( He doesn’t look wounded, but he’s muttering some really dangerous words... )
( I wonder what happened...? )
Um, Subaru-kun...?
Subaru: ...Ah? Oh, it’s you.
Yui: ...! W-What happened to you!?
( His clothes are really dirty... )
Subaru: Fuck off, not another word ‘bout that. Anyway, why are you here?
Yui: I was wondering if you were all doing okay...There seemed to be quite the ruckus going on, so I thought it’d be bad if somebody got injured.
Subaru: Injured? As if that’d happen.
Yui: ( Thank god...However, I wonder how he ended up this worn-out? )
Subaru: Oi! Quit the starin’!
Yui: S-Sorry...But...What happened, honestly?
Subaru: This is the aftermath of takoyaki explodin’ all over the place.
Yui: T-Takoyaki? You were all making takoyaki together?
( I’m shocked about that as well, but takoyaki can explode...?? )
Subaru: Oi...Don’t suddenly go quiet. Don’t put too much thought into it.
Yui: S-Sorry. Gotcha. I’ll try not to think about it.
Reiji: Hold it, Shuu!
ー Shuu steps out into the hallway
Shuu: ...Haah.
Yui: ...Shuu-san?
Shuu: Oh, it’s you? ...Also, Subaru...?
Those stains...You really do look like a mess.
Subaru: Aah!? I didn’t ask for this either!!
Shuu: ...Don’t shout, it rings in my ears. You’re actually dirty...So you can’t complain to me for pointing it out.
Subaru: Shut the fuck up!
*Thud*
Yui: ( Aah...He punched the wall. )
Shuu: ...So, what brings you here?
Yui: I got worried about you guys.
Shuu: Hm...However, don’t you think you should probably hurry back to your room?
Yui: Eh...?
ー Reiji shows up
Reiji: Subaru! Do not increase my workload beyond this point!
Yui: ( Reiji-san... )
Reiji: Go and wash off those stains at once!
Subaru: ...Hmph!
Reiji: Good grief...My suffering never ends with these troublesome buffoons.
So, Shuu, what are you doing here?
Shuu: Haah, what a pain...
Reiji: How about you show some intention of helping out as well?
ー Kanato enters the hallway
Kanato: Reiji, we have finished all preparations.
Reiji: Understood. I will be there shortly so please wait for a few minutes.
Shuu, you should return with Kanato as well.
Shuu: ...Haah...
Yui: ( I wonder what exactly they’re finished with...? )
Reiji: Well then, putting that aside...
I wonder why you are here? I made it very clear you should stay in your room...
Yui: ...I’m sorry for leaving without permission. However, I couldn’t help but worry about you all...
Reiji: ...Haah...It does not matter. Either way, return to your room and take this with you.
*Rustle*
Yui: ( A beautifully wrapped box... )
Um, what is this exactly?
Reiji: Accept it without questions.
...Listen very well. Once you return to your room, carefully open this box.
Yui: ...
Reiji: Your response?
Yui: Y-Yes...
ー The scene shifts back to Yui’s room
Yui: ( Hm...I wonder what’s inside this box? )
*Rustle rustle*
Yui: This is...?
A message card and a party hat...?
( Let’s see...’Please put on the hat and come to the living room’? )
( I have no idea what’s going on, but I guess I’ll go look for now? First I have to put on this hat... )
*Rustle*
...All set. Time to head to the living room...
ー The scene shifts to the living room
*Creaaaak*
Yui: H-Huh? It’s pitch black in here...Where is everyone?
( What’s this smell? Something sweet and...is this the scent of sauce (1)? )
U-Umーー
*Pang pang pang*
Yui: ...Kyaaaah!!!
Tumblr media
Yui: ...Y-You guys...!? Why are you all dressed like that...?
( Also...There’s a strawberry cake. And over there, a large amount of takoyaki stacked on top of each other like a pyramid...? )
( There’s a bunch of other stuff as well...! )
Laito: Bitch-chan, it’s your birthday, right? We prepared all of this to surprise you!
Yui: Eh? ...Ah!
( That explains everything! )
Ayato: ‘Kay! The star of the party is here, so we can dig into this takoyaki now, right?
Kanato: I am sick of waiting. Hey, Teddy, let’s enjoy this cake together, okay?
Shuu: Pwaah...I’m even more exhausted than usual today. Sleepy.
Reiji: Well then, please take a seat.
Subaru: Che, what a drag...
Yui: ...
( To think I’d get to celebrate like this. I was convinced I’d spend my birthday alone this year... )
( Those explosions were the result of them trying to work together and make something for me... )
...
Ayato: Hm? Oi, Chichinashi? Whatcha spacin’ out for?
Laito: Huh? She stopped moving. Ooi~ Bitch-chan?
Kanato: I wonder what’s wrong? You better take a seat soon, or there will be no food left for you.
Subaru: O-Oi, are you cryin’...?
Yui: ...Uu...I mean, I’m just so happy...
Shuu: ...Why don’t you sit down first? If not, we can never get this party started.
Yui: Yes...
*Thud*
Reiji: Good grief. Use this handkerchief.
Yui: Ah...Thank you very much.
( I don’t want to annoy them but...I’m just so happy...I can’t stop these tears... )
Ayato: Come on, Chichinashi! Take a look at this big candle! I picked it out for you!
Laito: ...Eh? You’re only holding that one candle, but you didn’t buy just that, right?
Ayato: Ah? What are you sayin’? I like the number 1 so I only got this one! ...Hehe, pretty cool, right?
Reiji: I am fairly sure those big candles are only used up until the age of ten?
Ayato: ...Ah? Which means...
Subaru: Heh, you really are cringe-worthy...
Ayato: Aah!? Subaru, dare say that one more time.
Shuu: Shut up. Who cares about some stupid candle?
Kanato: Exactly. They’re only there to blow out after all.
Yui: Fufu, I’m fine with this. Thank you, Ayato-kun.
Ayato: See! Listen to Chichinashi! I really am the very best!
Kanato: Fufu, the cake looks delicious. I can have a taste now, right?
Reiji: Not yet, Kanato. Have some patience...
We did all of this, so we need to light the candle and properly celebrate her birthday, no?
Yui: Waah...! Thank you so much for today, guys!
Reiji: Happy birthday. Continue to grow into a fine lady.
Ayato: Come on, Chichinashi! Try some of this takoyaki! I made them especially for you!
Kanato: Happy birthday. Fufu, Teddy says congratulations as well.
Laito: Happy birthday, Bitch-chan~ You’re one step closer to adulthood, huh?
Subaru: ...Well, you know. I’m willin’ to celebrate your birthday. I don’t need to say anythin’ else, right?
Shuu: Oh well, I suppose you should celebrate it as you wish. ...Just keep it quiet.
Yui: ( You guys... )
Thank you so much...!
Ayato: Whatever, just try my takoyaki already!
Laito: Ahaha, most of the ones you made exploded so the few survivors must be very precious to you, huh?
Ayato: Shut up! Who cares ‘bout the details?
Yui: Yeah, thank you! I’ll give them a try.
Laito: ...Nfu~ Come on, you guys should have some of the food as well.
Subaru: I’m fuckin’ starvin’ after losin’ my temper a million times earlier. Load up my plate.
Laito: Roger~! Nfu~ Everything turned out great, so eat to your heart’s content~
Yui: ( Laito-kun really seems to be enjoying this. I wonder why...? )
Subaru: Ahー ...This takoyaki made me go through hell and back after all. I’m gonna chew it apart now.
Yui: S-Subaru-kun...I don’t think the food is at fault here.
Subaru: Hmph! ...Wait, the fuck!? W...Water...I need water!!
Yui: W-What’s wrong...!?
Anyway, here! A glass of water, Subaru-kun!
*Rustle*
Yui: ( He’s gulping it down, I wonder what’s wrong...? )
Subaru: Nguh...Haah...Oi, Laito! The fuck did you put into that takoyaki, bastard!?
Laito: Eeh~? Why are you accusing me? I made them together with Ayato-kun, remember?
Subaru: You’re the only one who is cunnin’ enough to pull such a sly prank!
Laito: Nfu~ Caught red-handed~ I just thought that putting a little surprise inside would help fire up this party.
Yui: L-Laito-kun...Is there something weird inside this takoyaki?
Laito: Inside some of them. In other words, it’s like playing Russian roulette~
Yui: Russian roulette...
Laito: Exactly! It’s fun to make things more thrilling like this, don’t you think? With a little help of some wasabi and habanero peppers~ 
Ayato: This shit’s hella spicy!!!! Water! Gimme water!!!!
Reiji: Haah...I cannot deal with this. Just leave the takoyaki be.
Yui: B-But...Will it be okay?
Kanato: It’s fine. Why don’t you try the cake instead?
Yui: I’ll cut everyone a piece then.
Shuu: Why would you do that? You’re the star of the party, aren’t you? Just let Reiji do the work.
Reiji: I wonder why I have to take orders from you?
Shuu: ...So you’re going to let her do it instead?
Reiji: Wellーー
Kanato: Why....?
Why won’t you hurry up and cut the cake!? Whatever, I will do it! Reiji, hand me that knife!!
Reiji: ...I suppose I have no other choice...Kanato, it is dangerous so please don’t knock on the table. I will cut the cake at once.
*Rustle*
Reiji: Please hand me a plate.
Yui: Ah, sure!
Kanato: This is the strawberry cake I put my heart and soul into! It looks delicious, don’t you think?
Yui: Yeah! It looks very cute too, and incredibly delicious!
Kanato: Fufu, of course. Right, Teddy?
Yui: ( I’m happy with this kind of birthday too... )
( I never fathomed they would all celebrate my birthday today like this... )
Laito: Nfu~ By the way, Bitch-chan?
Yui: Yes, Laito-kun?
Laito: As a way to congratulate you for your birthday...Who do you want to suck your blood?
Yui: Eh...!?
Laito: I mean~ Today’s a special day which only happens once a year, right? So to someone who just loves having her blood sucked like yourself...
I figured it would only seem fit to let you choose whose fangs you want for once.
Besides...We kind of want a little reward as well.
Nfu~ Personally~ ...I’d wrap a ribbon around your body and suck you in the most romantic way imaginable~
Yui: U-Um...
Ayato: Oi, Laito! Don’t just ramble on by yourself!
If that’s the case, choose me, ‘kay? Chichinashi.
I’ll give you the most surprising blood-sucking of a lifetime, it’ll leave you stunned!
Yui: Most surprising blood-sucking of a lifetime...?
Ayato: Hehe, you enjoyed today’s party, right?
In that case, I’ll give you a ‘surprise’ sucking as well. The details...I have yet to decide on.
Yui: ( W-What to do...? )
Reiji: Good grief, I wonder why they are all such a vulgar bunch?
Personally, I would dress you up in a way fit for a refined young lady before sucking your blood.
After finishing the look with a pearl necklace, I will sink my fangs right into that nape.
Yui: ( E-Even Reiji-san’s on board... )
Kanato: In that case, I’ll sink my fangs inside and suck your blood as if I’m indulging in a sweet strawberry. Biting the same spot over and over...Fufu.
Yui: ( Basically I can’t avoid having my blood sucked? )
Subaru: Have you all lost your minds!?
Yui: ( Subaru-kun...! )
Subaru: Why do you need a specific technique to suck blood? Just gulp that stuff down!
Yui: ( ...Seems like it’s set I’ll have my blood sucked one way or another... )
Shuu: Haah, what a drag...
Tell me where you want my fangs. Today, I’ll bite you wherever you want, as many times as you wish.
Yui: That’s...
Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! Make up your mind already! I’m not the most patient guy ‘round!
Shuu: Hurry up and choose...
Yui: E-Easy for you to say...
Laito: Say, Bitch-chan~? You want to get wrapped up in ribbons, no~?
Ayato: You like surprises, don’t you?
Kanato: You fancy strawberries, right?
Reiji: What are you all saying? She obviously wants to become a fine lady.
Subaru: Ridiculous...
Shuu: I’m tired but...I’ll stay awake until I’ve heard your answer.
Yui: ( What should I do...? I’m kind of overwhelmed by all of them. )
Sorry! I can’t pick who I would rather get bitten by!
ー Yui flees
Ayato: Ah, oi, wait! Chichinashi!
Laito: Hold it, Bitch-chan~!
Kanato: ...!! Why do you run away!?
Subaru: Wha...!?
Reiji: You...!
Shuu: Pwaah...
ー The scene shifts to Yui’s bedroom
Yui: ( They all went out of their way to throw me a surprise party, yet I ran away... )
( While I feel kind of bad, I had no other option with all of them closing in on me like that... )
*Rustle*
Yui: ...!?
Ayato: Hehe, gotcha? Chichinashi.
Yui: A-Ayato-kun...!?
( The others as well... )
Kanato: Say, why won’t you choose me when I tried so hard to come up with a tempting offer...?
Yui: Even if you say that...
Ayato: Hehe, you would never choose anyone but me, would you?
I mean, your special blood exists only to quench my thirst...Right?
Yui: W-Wait.
Shuu: Haah...What a drag. If you can’t make up your mind, you should just pick me.
Laito: Nfu~ And why exactly should she do that? You just love appearing out of nowhere and dropping the bomb, don’t you?
Reiji: That being said, we were able to trap her against the wall.
Yui: U-Um...
( Oh no...I have nowhere to run... )
Subaru: Say...Oi, was it really our goal to drive her in a corner like this today?
Laito: Ah, right! We wanted to celebrate her birthday, didn’t we?
Hm~ I guess it can’t be helped then.
You can just wrap yourself up as a present for my birthday instead, okay?
Yui: ( I can’t do that! )
Subaru: Geez, it turned out like this ‘cause you just couldn’t make up your damn mind.
Yui: ( I-Is this my fault? )
Subaru: What?
Yui: S-Sorry...!
( I instinctively apologized, but he helped me out, right? )
Laito: Well then, to get back on the right track, here’s my birthday present to you.
Yui: ...Eh?
Laito: A birthday kiss...on your cheek...Nn.
*Smooch*
Ayato: Ahー! The fuck you doin’, Laito!?
Laito: What do you mean~? A birthday kiss! Oh come on, I can do this much, right?
Kanato: Hmph...In that case, from me as well...
Yui: Eh? K-Kanato-kun?
Kanato: Can you show me your hand already? Honestly, you’re so tactless...Nn.
*Smooch*
Yui: Why...!?
Kanato: Do I need to give you my reasoning?
Ayato: Why do I have to give Chichinashi a reward?
Well, I’m sure you’re dyin’ to get a present from Yours Truly, so it can’t be helped. I’ll be so generous to give you one as well! ...Nn.
*Smooch*
Yui: W-Wait, Ayato-kun...!
( He kissed me on the opposite cheek...!? )
Reiji: Fufu, in that case, I shall give you a present as well. Nn...You better remember it. That this was a gift from me.
*Smooch*
Yui: ( ...!? )
( On my other hand...! )
Subaru: ...Che. Why are you all kissin’ the same chick!? I’m not takin’ part in this.
Yui: U-Um...Subaru-kuーー
Subaru: But, I guess I have no choice...So I’ll give you one as well. ...Nn.
*Smooch*
Yui: ( Subaru-kun went for my forehead...For some reason, my whole body is burning with embarrassment! )
Shuu: Haah...It’s a chore but...To make sure you don’t forget mine...Nn.
Yui: ( A kiss on the top of my head from Shuu... )
( Those kisses just now were embarrassing and surprised me a lot but... )
( I suppose this is their way of congratulating me, huh...? )
Truly, thank you so much, you guys!

twitter drabble request part 4 (original)
tsukihina + venus (requested by florie)
Hinata looked at Tsukishima for a moment before leaning forward and closing one eye, preparing to see the stars more clearly. He was taken by surprise anyway.
“Waah!” he exclaimed, pulling away “Tsukki! The stars!”
“Don't say something so obvious, keep looking.” the boy rolled his eyes, using his hands to guide Hinata back to the telescope.
Hinata laughed, enjoying his boyfriend’s reactions as usual. Tsukishima was like a tsundere, never saying what he really thought when it came to feelings, and preferring to pretend he didn’t feel anything.
“What is that bright star?” he pointed to a round dot in the sky “UFO?”
Tsukishima sighed “It's Venus.”
“Venus?” he pulled away, looking at the other curiously.
“It’s a planet.” Tsukishima used his hands again to guide his boyfriend back into his room.
“I know it's a planet! I didn't know you could see it from earth.”
“Of course you can.”
“Explain to me?”
Tsukishima looked at him with a raised eyebrow “Why would I explain something to you that I know you won't understand?”
“Because I love hearing you talk about the things you love.” Hinata smiled brightly and was extremely happy to see his boyfriend get a slight pinkish tinge to his cheeks as he straightened his glasses.
“All right.”

"Purr For Me"- CAT!Xiao x GN!reader
hellooo!! So this time I'm offering you guys some fluffy yay! Please enjoy some cute meow meow moments with Xiao <33
btw,I changed Childe “ojou-chan” (young lady,girlie) since it’s gn,I hope you guys don’t mind.
Art credit: @MGPH__ on twt
Tumblr media
""Summary: meow””
It was a calm afternoon for {name},they had finished all their commissions with success and now were waiting for Xiao in the Inn as they watched the sunset. 
Xiao and {name} were in a relationship for 3 years and half now and things were going smoothly,he had many sides but didn't know how to express it which put them in a complicated spot for a while but,as time went by,Xiao started to get more comfortable and that was something that {name} was very proud and happy to witness. 
{name} was pulled away from their thoughts when they heard a loud cat hiss coming from behind them,as they turn around they see Childe holding a what it seems to be a very unfriendly mint cat “Little cutie!! You are here,that’s good..very good actually” Childe greeted as he struggled with the agitated animal in his arms “Childe?!! What-? I have the impression that I don’t want to know the answer but,what it’s up with the cat?” {name} asks as they got closer to the man “ah yeah,funny story actually,but before that,what are you doing here?” “Me? I was just waiting for Xiao to get back from his- pfft” {name} suddenly start to laugh when they made eye contact with the cat thinking about how similar it looked with Xiao,specially since it had the same forehead mark “hm? Why the laugh cutie?” {name} composed themselves before answering “I'm sorry,it's just that this cat looks so similar to Xiao I couldn’t help it” “oh! Maybe it's because it’s actually him” “yeah probably….Wait WHAT?!” {name} is standing there in shook with what just came out of Childe’s mouth “What do you mean with it’s him?!” Childe,still struggling with the feline in his arms that refused to stay quiet begin to explain “so long story short, I ran up with Xiao on one of the hilichurls camp and decided it was a good idea to get closer to him while I gave him a little hand during the fights,the problem started when a witch appeared and tried to attack me with some weird magic thing, so I dodged but,well,Xiao was behind me and ended up getting the hit instead and now he is like this” {name} was concern about the situation, but they also were more confused than anything “why a cat?”.
They got a down a little and asked the cat “are you really Xiao?” the animal that was fighting with all his strength to escape from Childe’s grasp went quiet and just stared at them before answering “Meow” Both of the human were left staring at each other before asking at the same time “what do we do now?” and with that they were both left thinking about a possible solution “OH I KNOW! First you take this-” Childe said as he passed the cat or better saying,Xiao to {name} arms which he didn't resist it and just stayed quiet listening to their conversation “-Now I need to pass by Liyue harbor and ask Zhongli-sensei for help,I’m sure he knows something about this that could help us” {name} actually thought that was a great idea,who better to solve this problem then the oldest Archon himself “that actually sounds great,please solve the issue that you caused mister Childe” they said with an annoyed tone “yes yes,and you-” the young man said as he got down to talk to Xiao “-try biting me again and I will give you as a special ingredient to Xiangling” he finished with a fake smile on his face while Xiao tried to attack the man’s face but {name} hold him before he could “well then,im off,good luck with the wild animal little cutie” and left,leaving Xiao and {name}  staring at each other “what do I do now” they thought to themselves.
“Xiao I swear to God if you run away one more time I-” they now found themselves trying to bathe Xiao in one of the round wood bathtubs of the Inn since he was extremely dirty and had some cuts over his body,but the cat seems to think different since from the moment he saw the tub he escaped from their grasp and is now running around the room “MEOW!?!” Xiao let it out a loud sound that could easily be translated it to “ARE YOU INSANE?” “Don’t you dare raise your meow at me old man! You're dirty and hurt from the battle so let me bathe you so then I can take care of your cuts” {name} said as they trapped the cat between the wall and lift him up in their arms with a tight grasp “MEOW!! MEOW MEOOW” the cat let it out as his lover took him to the tub and placed him in there. 
Truth was that Xiao was embarrassed of being bathed by his lover,even if he was in this form,and for that reason he desperately tried to escape their arms and just as they successfully put him in the water he slipped out of it and run away… again. 
They let it out a groan of frustration and said “Xiao listen to me,I need to bathe you so that your wounds don’t get infected and you get sick okay? So please come here and allow me to do that”{name} explained with a soft voice ,Xiao stared at them considering,his love did seem to be concerned about him, so him running away was only troubling them even more and realize that made him feel ashamed and childish for his actions. 
The cat slowly approached {name},still felling incredibly embarrassed of being take care of by his lover since he was the one that usually did that, and rubbed his head against their hand “Are you ready now?” “Meow” “I will take that as a yes then” they said picking him off the floor and placing him in the warm water of the tub which made him relax immediately but still be aware of his surroundings,{name} took one of the cloths and proceed it to give Xiao a very relaxing bath.
“Done!!! Look at you-pfft” {name} had finally finished bathing and attending Xiao’s wounds and was admiring the cat in front of them that was wearing a lilac lace around his neck and had an irritated expression on his face “Meow,meow?” “Yes,I do think this is very fun and you look beautiful so don’t worry about it” they answered the animal while they got the bed ready for them,{name} decided it  it was better to stay the night at the Inn since they still need it to talk to Childe about the situation in the morning “come here” they said while tapping on their side pillow, Xiao seems hesitant but eventually gave in and hop on the bed laying besides his lover, {name} placed their hand behind his ear carenssing making him purr and lean in their direction for more contact “Even if this is not the best situation,today was fun right?” they said while they gave up to the exhaustation and fell asleep,Xiao stayed awake for a while before slowly snuggle even more into their arms allowing himself to relax,for him, the idea of being taken care of was new, but he liked, the felling of having someone that cared and were there for him was really nice and with this thought both of them slept peacefully during the night.
“What is even that?” {name} asked with a weird expression on their face,they were now talking with the Geo Archon, and he presented a weird solution which was to apply some odd shiny blue powder over Xiao’s body that would make him go back to normal “this was a present from a powerful sorcerer I used to know,but I must say I'm not aware of the side effects involved in it” Zhongli explains,{name} look down at the cat in their arms and asked “are you sure you still want to do it? We can search for other ways,safer ways” “meow!” Xiao was determined to get his human form again,this was too pathetic for him to bear “awn! Even when he looks so small and wear such a pretty lace he is still a warrior inside” Childe that was standing next to them made a joke making Xiao try to jump at him but being hold back,again,by {name} “Quiet you two, Childe did you bring Xiao clothes and spear?” “Yes,here it is” the Fatui said while placed them on the table “good,now {name} put him down and let’s begin” they let the cat go that stopped in the middle of the room “Now,I’ll start to apply it,ready?” Zholgli said as he got down “meow” and with applying the archon meant just turn the whole cup of powder on Xiao’s body making the room fill up with a blue smoke “What the- cof cof,Xiao are you okay?” {name} asked trying to see him in all that smoke “Yes,I’m fine” the deep and stern voice made it’s presence as the smoke stared to fade away “that's great- waah” they are surprised by a pair of hands covering their eyes “oh no” Childe whispered as he tight up the ‘blindfold’ around their eyes “sorry cutie,you can’t look now,if you know what I’m talking about” {name} understanding what he meant felt their cheeks heat up and just let it out a tiny ‘okay’.
 But the silent atmosphere is soon cut off by Childe suddenly loud laugh coming from behind them and Xiao angered voice “What the hell is this?” {name} worried about what had happened to Xiao start to fight Childe grasp “What happened? Childe let me go!” “Well,I believe that’s what we call side effects little cutie” Childe said still laughing and removed his hand from their eyes
The first thing they notice was Zhongli peacefully drinking his tea in the corner of the room not seeming to care about a thing in the world,but their eyes soon fall on the man standing in the middle the room shirtless leaving his back tattoo and battle scares out in the opening,however that wasn't the problem,the problem was the fact the Xiao still had the cat ears and the tail on him “oh my God!” {name} said,to them,he looked adorable,specially since he still had the lace around his neck “don’t blame me,I warn you about the side effects” Zhongli calm voice said while Childe was still laughing “Isn't he cute?!” he made fun of the adepti “That’s it! I'm killing you right here right now!” Xiao said as he grabbed his spear but Childe didn't seem to be scared of death and continue to tease him “try me kitten” and with that they started to run around the room “just don’t break anything please” The Geo Archon says,still enjoying his tea “Zhongli how long do you think the uhm, Side effects are going to last?” they asked “hmm.. I would give a month and a half” the two grown man stopped frozen at their place “A MONTH AND A HALF?” all of them say at the same time “this is going to be a crazy month” {name} thought to themselves.

That boop ask just- I imagined that Huntsman chased after Red and then it became this competition of booping? And Red is just getting into places Huntsie didn’t even know they get into but they can. Just- The idea of a couple running around their shared apartment while laughing like imbeciles, threatening to boop one another, and then one of them tackles the other down saying “I win!” Is just- it makes me wanna cry. If I can’t have a relationship like that I don’t want it.
“come out, come out... where ever you are..”
You swallowed, quickly clamping your hands down over your mouth as you heard his deep voice carry through the hallway. He was closing in on you, the floor creaking from footsteps drawing closer and closer to the bedroom, and at this rate you were going to run out of places to hide. 
Every time you thought you got away, he found you, pining you down while looking at you like that, and you’re sure even your time was short.
It wouldn’t be long now before he found you.
C’mon.. think. Where else could you hide? You were laying on your stomach underneath the bed at the moment, but this place was way too obvious for it to last long.  Maybe you could make another break for it? You slipped past him once before.. but..
Where else could you go?
You’re not sure you could survive another round with him but you refused to lose! You’d finish what you started starsdammit, even if it was the last thing you ever did-
“found you.”
Your heart dropped at the deep sound of his voice right at the end of the bed. Before you could recover from the shock, a hand firmly grabbed at your ankle, making you yelp as you were dragged out from under the bed in one swift motion. You flipped on to your back, now trapped as Huntsman pinned one of your arms above your head loomed over you with that look in his eyesocket.
“any last words?”
A pause took hold, you staring up at him for a short second as you let out a few careful breaths and he staring down at your flustered form.
“...Boop.”
....
You carefully tapped his nasal bone, watching as that look of absolute love and fondness grew in his eyelights, smiling down at you.
“..i’m going to eat you up now, my cute little snack.”
“Oh, shit. Wait, hold on go easy on- WAAH-HAHA! HAHAHAHA!”
You couldn’t hold back your laughter as he tickled you, trying your best to flail your arms and escape but to no avail as he mercilessly punished you for your crimes of booping.
It’s not at all a surprise when the two of you get a complaint from your neighbor the next day.

Sweet Shootout: Part 1
Tumblr media
Trees are getting a little less dense. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say we’re almost through the thick of it.
Tumblr media
I agree. We should be coming out the other side relatively soon.
Tumblr media
Thank goodness.
*The trio keep walking, and sure enough, after a few more minutes, Kuripa cuts his way into a clearing, and they step out onto a craggy cliff face, outside the forest.
Tumblr media
Oh, thank the lord we’re through tha-
Tumblr media
WAAH!
Tumblr media
SSH!
*Makoto doesn’t seemingly have time to be happy, as Mukuro suddenly grabs his shoulder and yanks him behind a small rock.
Tumblr media
Kuripa! Get into cover!
Tumblr media
...!
*Kuripa ducks down behind the rock, and the three look over to the ground near them that is slightly steeper. Standing there are two men holding guns.
Tumblr media
Tapā'im̐ sām̐ccai tyō śarṭa dhō'una āvaśyaka cha. Yō tapā'im̐kō pasīnā mā bhijēkō cha.
Tumblr media
Malā'ī thāhā cha! Ma yō lagā'unē mānchē hum̐! *sigh* Malā'ī ghōra lāgcha...
Tumblr media
Koime’s got Nepali refugees as bodyguards?
Tumblr media
There’s two of them, but if we cause a scene, it might draw other armed guards attention. It might be to our benefit to do this quietly and-
Tumblr media
DIE MOTHERFUCKERS!
Tumblr media
OH FOR GODS SAKE!
Tumblr media
AAGH!
Tumblr media
OOOGH!
*Mukuro’s exclamation of disappointment is understandable as Kuripa suddenly comes bounding over the rock. He kicks one of the two men in the face, knocking him to the floor, and the other one instantly gets nailed in the face.
Tumblr media
Timī sāsulā'ī sārna nadinuhōs!
Tumblr media
!!?
*Three other men with weapons suddenly rush in and point their guns at Kuripa after he takes out the first two.
Tumblr media
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Tumblr media
KAAOOGH!
*Mukuro leaps out from behind the rock and headshots all three with a handheld SMG she packed. After the men are down, Makoto also hops out of the hiding place.
Tumblr media
You didn’t...you know?
Tumblr media
Kill them? Of course not. The bullets are non-lethal.
Tumblr media
How do you even make non-lethal rounds?
Tumblr media
They’re made out of dense rubber, so they bounce right off.
Tumblr media
But they hurt, I can assure you of that.
Tumblr media
I guess we lost the element of surprise though...
Tumblr media
Sorry...I got carried away...
Tumblr media
No, it’s fine. This approach might actually be better in the long run.
Tumblr media
However, I know I shove this down your throat constantly, but please, DON’T kill any of these guys.
Tumblr media
I won’t.
*Kuripa kneels down to look at the unconscious soldiers.
Tumblr media
As you said, these guys look to mostly be made of immigrants. Most immigrants are desperate people, and some do things they don’t especially want to.
Tumblr media
So they’re not on my hit list.
Tumblr media
I have mixed feelings about that analogy, but so long as you don’t kill them...Fine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hey! Help me with this!
*In order to get closer to Koime’s mansion, the trio have to go around the cliff face. They scale around it, and eventually, Makoto who is in the lead, finds a barbed wire fence with an iron place stuck on it. With some help from his allies, the plate is torn off and they step into what looks to be a camp.
Tumblr media
...! Something’s up...
Tumblr media
What is this place?
Tumblr media
Looks to be a campsite. This is probably where most of Koime’s boy-toys sleep.
Tumblr media
Anyway, let’s-
*BANG!* 
Tumblr media
AH!
Tumblr media
KURIPA!
Tumblr media
HOLAY SHEIT!
*Screaming like a Joestar, Kuripa ducks behind cover as his face is slightly grazed by a sharp, fast moving bullet.
Tumblr media
Sthira rahanuhōs!
Tumblr media
Shit! Sniper!
*The situation gets even worse when a whole load of other armed men and women come running out of the forts, taking up positions, ready to attack the trio.
Tumblr media
How the hell are we gonna get through all these, AND a sniper?
Tumblr media
I’ve got a plan.
*They huddle in.
Tumblr media
We have to take out that sniper first and foremost. He’s our biggest issue.
Tumblr media
Makoto and I will go around, and try and take his weapon from him. Kuripa, you wait here until we give you the signal, then come out of hiding and go to town.
Tumblr media
It’d also be great if you could somehow draw the snipers fire and distract him while we go around, but if you don’t want to risk getting shot-
Tumblr media
I’ll do what I can.
Tumblr media
Thanks.
Tumblr media
As for us, when we get to the sniper, you take control of it and turn their own weapon against them. Then you can provide Kuripa and I cover while we flank the armed guards.
Tumblr media
Wait, you want me to use a manned sniper? 
Tumblr media
Yes.
Tumblr media
But...I don’t know how!
Tumblr media
It’s easy. You use it just like you use any other gun. Aim and pull the trigger.
Tumblr media
But that’s a lethal sniper! What if I kill someone!?
Tumblr media
Oh grow up boss, we aren’t children. This is war for gods sake!
Tumblr media
If you’re that concerned, aim for their right shoulder. That’s their right by the way, not yours if they’re facing you.
Tumblr media
It’s a fairly sturdy part of the body and is far away from the heart and any other vital organs and has a good chance of passing straight through them.
Tumblr media
If you’re sure. Fine, let’s go.
Tumblr media
See you on the flip side.
Tumblr media
*BANG!* *BANG!*
Tumblr media
Ngh!
*Makoto does his best to duck under the snipers fire as he and Mukuro climb up a ladder to a higher point in the camp.
Tumblr media
You’ll be ok. Remember, we practiced this.
Tumblr media
Yeah, we sure did...But at the time I thought it was a little bit much...
Tumblr media
I eat those words now...
*As he says this, Makoto waits until the gunfire stops, assuming that the sniper is taking a moment to reload. He tucks his body in and rolls forward, moving like an expert soldier between cover points. He stops as the sniper finishes reloading and continues to fire, with Mukuro also doing the same movements behind him while the sniper is busy with Makoto. When he stops to reload again, the two of them sprint inside.
Tumblr media
Phew!
Tumblr media
Makoto...through that hole!
*There is a small hole that looks presumably where an air vent should have been inside the building. Makoto crawls through it with Mukuro crawling through after him. Not knowing where they are, the sniper continues to fire through the building, with the gunshot sounds getting louder as they draw closer. Eventually, they make it out the other side of the hole unscathed. Near them is a door leading back out into the camp.
Tumblr media
Alright, I’ll wait here, and I’ll go in guns blazing when you give the signal.
Tumblr media
What’s the signal?
*Mukuro cocks her gun.
Tumblr media
The scream.
Tumblr media
...Is that supposed to be a joke?
*Makoto doesn’t stick around for an answer, and climbs up the nearby ladder to get to the sniper.
Tumblr media
...?
*BANG!*
Tumblr media
!!!
*Mukuro opens the door and tries to peek out of it at the sniper. She’s immediately spotted and shot at when she tries to get out.
Tumblr media
...
*Mukuro pokes her head out just enough so that the sniper can’t see her, but she can see him. She waits patiently until...
Tumblr media
YAAGH!
Tumblr media
AAAAAAAGH!
*Makoto kicks open the door to the snipers bunker and punches him dead in the jaw. He then grabs the man and throws him out the window, making him fall to the ground. The sound distracts the other armed soldiers in the camp.
Tumblr media
Playtime...!
*Recognizing the signal, Kuripa leaps out of his hiding place and goes to down.
Tumblr media
*WHAM!*
*Mukuro kicks open the door and does the same
Tumblr media
Alright...aim for the shoulder, aim for the shoulder, aim for the shoulder-
*Makoto continues to repeat this as he mans the sniper rifle and starts firing at the enemy soldiers. Like Mukuro said already, he’s able to hit them in the shoulder and knock them down without killing them.
Tumblr media
Kuripa! This way!
Tumblr media
...!
*Mukuro waves Kuripa over and the two go sprinting through the camp, dodging bullet fire while Makoto covers them with the sniper.
Tumblr media
...!
*When they duck behind cover to avoid the gunfire, Kuripa suddenly notices a small metal signpost. He crawls over to it and yanks it out of the ground with a lot of strength.
Tumblr media
Mara!
Tumblr media
*WHAM!*
Tumblr media
GAAAGH!
*With brutal swinging, Kuripa trips the attacker up with the sign and then slams the post straight on his head, smashing him to the ground.
Tumblr media
...!
Tumblr media
GLEARGH!
*Many other guys come rushing at them, with some of them being taken out by Makoto, but a few manage to get in close enough to attack. When one attempts to attack Mukuro, she punches him round the face, grabs his arm, pulls him back in, dislocates his elbow and smashes him in the maw, knocking him down.
Tumblr media
!!!
Tumblr media
GAAARGH!
Tumblr media
UUURGH!
*Two other soldiers attempt to grab Mukuro from behind after she attacks their friend, but she foresees them and high kicks them both in the face.
Tumblr media
TCHA!
Tumblr media
Gugh!
Tumblr media
!!?
Tumblr media
HAHA!
Tumblr media
H-Hō'ina!!
Tumblr media
YAAAAAGH!
Tumblr media
GUUUAAAGH!!
*Kuripa squares off with another guy and is successfully able to knock him to the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spots a motorcycle, and gets an insane idea. When the man is down, he picks the motorcycle up, swings it around, and smashes it onto him!
Tumblr media
Tapā'īṁ syā'u kapāla kamīna!
Tumblr media
!!!
Tumblr media
WooAAAH!
*The last guy, spiting Kuripa, runs straight at him and attempts to tackle and stab him with a knife. However, Kuripa ducks and grabs the guy by his waist.
Tumblr media
GO!
Tumblr media
TO!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HEEEELL!!!
*Kuripa lifts his opponent up off the ground and throws him over his shoulder, but before he can fall to the ground, Mukuro uses the momentum to deal a deadly knee to his face. He goes down immediately.
Tumblr media
*pant!* *pant!* *pant!* *pant!*
Tumblr media
*pant!* *pant!* O-Ok... *pant!* P-People are dead...
Tumblr media
No, no they aren’t.
Tumblr media
*pant!* *pant!*
*Makoto also comes running in, having left the sniper post now that all the armed soldiers are down for the count.
Tumblr media
Is that...*pant!* is that it? A-Are we done?
Tumblr media
Hm...judging from how far away we are from the mansion...
*Mukuro spots the mansion in the near distance, with the other two following her line of sight.
Tumblr media
Not even close.
Tumblr media
Oooh boy...
Tumblr media
Well, we’ve gotten through half of them at least. Let’s keep going.

pomegranate tea for hanako?♡
i love him-
tea prompts here!
Hanako - Pomegranate Tea
Tumblr media
pomegranate tea; at what point did they know they loved their s/o?
It took a while for Hanako to realize he loved you. It may not look like it, but he is love-deprived and most likely touch starved, which is why he craves physical contact with you and is so touchy-feely. When he was alive, he didn’t receive an ounce of care or affection, which is why he was so surprised when he felt his heart beat so quickly around you.It was nearing the end of lunch and Hanako was sulking in the girls’ bathroom alone. You hadn’t come like usual, and Yashiro had refused to tell him where you were, claiming it was a secret. He frowned, tried of playing cards with the Mokke all day. He wanted to see you. Lost in his thoughts, he jumped suddenly at the loud voice that echoed throughout the halls.
“Hanako-kun~!”
Hanako bolted up, nearing falling off the place he was perched on at the sound of your cheerful voice. You rounded the corner and soon reached the entrance of the bathroom, one hand placed on your chest, trying to calm yourself from all of that running, and the other hand holding a bag behind your back. Hanako quickly abandoned the uninteresting card game, leaving whining the Mokke.
“(Name)-chan! Where-”
You cut him off by placing your finger on his lips, a cheeky smile appearing on your face. Hanako bit his lip to try and suppress his blush.“Shush for a moment and take this,” you grinned, shoving a cutely designed bag into his hands. “I spent a long time on those ya know!”
Hanako gulped, carefully undoing the ribbon, eager to find out what was inside. His face brightened at the sight inside the bag. 
“You made these donuts? For me? And I get eat them? For real?!” Hanako cried with glee, twirling around as heart danced around him. Even the Hakujoudai seemed excited.
You smiled at the sight, bringing a hand up to feel your reddened cheeks. “I knew they would make you happy, Hanako-kun.”
“Waah~ they’re even Mokke-shaped!” Hanako grinned, munching on the donuts, already halfway done.
“You know Hanako-kun, I could also show you how to make some… just the two of us.” 
Hanako’s eyes widened, a teasing smile quickly growing on his face. Nudging your shoulder, he began his relentless teasing session.
“Oh~? Perhaps you’re asking me on a-”
“What if I am asking you on a date? I just want to see you happy, Hanako-kun… Tell me your answer after school,” you interrupted, quickly booping his nose, and running out the door.
Hanako nearly choked on the donut, crumbs falling to the floor as the Mokke nibbled on it. His ears were bright red and his entire face was a tomato by now, he was sure. Pulling his hat down, there was one thing he was sure of. 
He had it bad for you. Real bad.

Yuta Ashu SR
2017 ー PARTY NIGHT [PARTY NIGHT]
Tumblr media
“Yes, it’s fine. It is my job to protect the fans’ beloved Yuta-kun.“
Part 1
THRIVE has a meeting with their president Shuji Daikoku. 
Shuji: ‘There will be a party this weekend. You didn’t forget, right?’
Goshi: ‘A reception party hosted by Gandara, or something like that.’
Yuta: ‘Of course ~! I’m looking forward to it! The cake I had last year was super delicious!’
Shuji: ‘Don’t get all tense on that day, Yuta. A lot of officials will come.’
Yuta: ‘Ye-s, I will be perfectly quiet and eat plenty of food!’ 
Kento: ‘Aren’t you forgetting the welcoming round? Even if you say party, we aren’t there to have fun.’
Yuta:  ‘Eeeh ~! I Even though I was looking forward to the food ~’ 
Kento: ‘Really, nothing but appetite, you have no appeal.’
Goshi: ‘Appeal is not needed at the party.’
Kento: ‘It’s because you’re a baby -’ 
Goshi: ‘Who’s a baby?’ 
Before Kento and Goshi can continue with their banter, Shuji interrupts them. 
Shuji: ‘Oi, cut it out. Kento, don’t play with women more than necessary.’ 
Kento: ‘If it’s necessary, then it’s ok, right?’
Shuji: ‘Aa? Geez, you all really are…’ 
Shuji: ‘Goshi, Kento will probably cause trouble, have an eye on him.’ 
Goshi: ‘Haa!? Why me!’ 
Shuji: ‘Isn’t it obvious, because you are in the same group. … Sumisora, please look after Yuta.’ 
Tsubasa: ‘Taking care?’
Shuji: ‘It’s a big venue. Who knows where he gets lost.’, the president explains. 
Kento: ‘Yuta is a genius in getting lost.’
Kento adds with a teasing tone. 
Goshi: ‘He’s not a genius, he’s a disaster. To get lost just before a performance, it’s really laughable.’
Yuta: ‘It’s not like I plan to get lost ~ The way changes on its own.’
Goshi: ‘In what world are you living.’
Kento: ‘.... Tsubasa, since you are the organizer, won’t you be busy with the preparations?’
Tsubasa: ‘It’s planned that I will be in charge of welcoming the invited guests and taking care of them.’
Kento: ‘That’s hard. Yuta, don’t get lost and cause trouble for Tsubasa.’
Yuta: ‘It’s ok, it’s ok ~! It’s the same venue from last year, right? It’s going to be alright!’ 
Goshi: ‘No insecurity, huh…’
Tsubasa: ‘A, Ahaha….’
Part 2
Tsubasa came to pick up THRIVE for their work in the morning. 
Tsubasa: ‘Good morning, everyone. I came to pick you up.’ 
Goshi: ‘Morning.’
Kento: ‘Morning, Tsubasa.’
Yuta: ‘Good morning!’
Tsubasa: ‘...?’
(Yuta-kun seems to be different than usual…)
Tsubasa: ‘Uhm, Yuta-kun… Did something happen?’
Yuta: ‘Nothing happened!’
Tsubasa: ‘But..’
Yuta: ‘It’s nothing!’ 
Tsubasa: ‘....’
Kento: ‘It’s ok, leave him alone. After the talk about the party, I only said he should be careful not to get lost.’
Goshi: ‘He doesn’t even understand the meaning behind it.’
Yuta: ‘I know what that means!’
Yuta: ‘Come on, Tsubasa-chan! Let’s go to today’s location --!’ 
Tsubasa: ‘Y-Yes.’ 
(But, Yuta-kun’s expression today is quite stiff. He won’t be able to shoot like that...)
Tsubasa: ‘Uhm, Yuta-kun…’
Yuta: ‘Yes! What is it!’
Tsubasa: ‘... Your facial expression, can you return it to normal? You won’t be able to do the shooting as it is…’
Yuta: ‘My usual expression…’
He is surprised at her question.
Yuta: ‘My usual expression…! Like this! This!’
Kento: ‘....Puh, Yuta what’s with this face? Haha…’
Goshi: ‘It’s not bad.’
Even Goshi can give a small smile.
Yuta: ‘That’s not true--!’
(Yuta-kun, you are doing your best but your change of expression was forced, hence the strange face…)
Tsubasa: ‘Yuta-kun, I think it’s good to be careful to not get lost but... Because of those thoughts, what makes Yuta-kun unique, disappeared… You know, it’s fine to do your usual expression?’
Yuta: ‘But…’
Tsubasa: ‘At the party I will be careful, so I ask Yuta-kun to stay as Yuta-kun, having fun with everyone and eat to your heart’s content.’
Yuta: ‘... Is it really okay? I probably will cause trouble for Tsubasa-chan…’ 
Tsubasa: ‘Yes, it’s fine. It is my job to protect the fans’ beloved Yuta-kun.’
Kento: ‘In the first place, with Yuta’s head, it’s impossible for him to be serious, and he is a stubborn idiot. Quite the boring man, right?’
Goshi: ‘Well, if it’s him, he might be discharged’, Goshi adds. 
Kento: ‘There’s no doubt.’
Yuta: ‘Eeeh--! That’s not good--! I’m sorry, Tsubasa-chan! I will return to my usual self! Though I probably will still get lost…’ 
Tsubasa: ‘It is alright if you get lost. Please be the usual Yuta-kun.’
Yuta: ‘Yes! Aah, I suddenly got hungry when I acted weird. Hey, Tsubasa-chan, can we stop by a convenience store before we go to the location?’ 
Tsubasa: ‘Yes, that will be fine since we still have time left. Let’s stop by while we are on the way to the place.’
Yuta: ‘Waah! If we go to the convenience store, what should I buy ~ Pudding is good as well, but it’s hard to discard cream puffs too ~’
The previous gloominess is replaced by excitement.
Goshi: ‘Oi, the car’s not that way.’
Yuta: ‘Eh, oh??’
Kento: ‘There he’s getting lost at once, really. In a way, he’s a genius…’
(Getting lost is hard however… It’s good that the usual Yuta-kun is back.)
Part 3
Yuta: ‘Yeah--! I’m the first to arrive ~ ♪’
Kento: ‘And who was on the verge of crying because they were lost in the party hall?’
Goshi: ‘As expected, you got lost again this time.’
Yuta: ‘Hee, it’s a miracle, right ~?’ 
Goshi: ‘Don’t ‘Hee’ me.’
Kento: ‘Yuta, you were found by Tsubasa, right?’
Tsubasa: ‘A,haha… No way, to get lost like that…’
Yuta: ‘If there are a lot of people, you can’t know the way ~’
Yuta says with a rather sad expression. 
Goshi: ‘No, you getting lost, doesn’t have anything to do with other people.’
Yuta: ‘It’s no good when I got lost --, I won’t be able to see everyone again-- ! At that time I became sad at that thought. I was so happy that Tsubasa-chan came ~!’ 
Tsubasa: ‘I was also restless when I lost sight of Yuta-kun but I am glad that we reunited.’
Yuta: ‘The place where I met Tsubasa had a really beautiful night view, right ♪’ 
Tsubasa: ‘Yes, it surely was.’ 
Yuta: ‘We watched the night view together for a while but time passed by in the blink of an eye ~’
Tsubasa: ‘If Yuta-kun hadn’t got lost, we wouldn’t be able to see that scenery, right.’ 
Yuta: ‘That’s true!’
He answers in a happy tone and a blush. 
Kento: ‘Wait a minute, isn’t that a date? Stealing a march on others isn’t good, Yuta’
Goshi: ‘Don’t cause trouble and end up enjoying it.’
Yuta: ‘Hee! Tsubasa-chan, really, thank you for today! It’s difficult getting lost all the time. But for the first time, I thought that it isn’t too bad.’
Tsubasa: ‘Me too, that I was able to see that night view, I have to thank Yuta-kun for getting lost.’
Yuta: ‘Yea--h!’ 
Goshi: ‘Geez, always getting carried away so fast.’
Kento: ‘But, well… That time when he was careful to not get lost wasn’t bad. He was more like a stubborn idiot.’
Goshi: ‘Yeah, I agree.’
Yuta: ‘I see, I see! Then… From now on I will get lost even more, so I’ll be in your care, everyone!’ 
Kento: ‘... Haa, Yuta…’
Goshi: ‘You, feel a bit sorry!’
Yuta: ‘Ehh ~?’
Tsubasa: ‘A,haha….’
(It will be troublesome in the future as well… But getting lost belongs to Yuta-kun’s personality so it will be fine.)

TNG: “The Icarus Factor”
Tumblr media
The Enterprise spends a twelve-hour layover at Starbase Montgomery to allow the base’s specialists to look into anomalous readouts for the ship’s engines.  This gives Commander Riker time to consider an offer to become the the captain the USS Aries.  His estranged father, civilian strategic attaché Kyle Riker, makes a surprise visit to convey Starfleet’s mission briefing, but Will spurns his attempts to settle their differences.  Ensign Crusher learns that Lieutenant Worf is unable to properly observe the tenth anniversary of his Rite of Ascension, and tries to help.
The main plot of this episode expects you to see Will and Kyle as equally stubborn yet sympathetic men, so that you’ll appreciate both sides of their conflict while still desiring a reconciliation.  To give you an idea of how badly this expectation fails, when I took the screenshot above I mistakenly named the file after a different episode, “Sins of the Father.”  I don’t like Kyle Riker at all.
Will explained in “Time Squared” that, when his mother died, he took on the responsibility of cooking for his household because his father hated to cook.  That fits this episode’s premise that his mother’s death changed his relationship with his father.  What doesn’t fit that premise is the suggestion that Mrs. Riker died when Will was “barely out of diapers.”  The Memory Alpha wiki infers that Will was two years old at the time, since Will says “I’ve been on my own since I was fifteen,” and Kyle replies that “Please, spare me the pain of your childhood. I hung in for thirteen years. If that wasn't enough, it's just too bad.”
So yeah, single parent Kyle Riker deadass walked out on his 15-year-old son.  Every time I remember that detail, I can’t believe anyone involved in this episode thought they could make the character sympathetic.  The guy just goes on advising Starfleet about Tholians, and romancing Doctor Pulaski, and nobody ever noticed that he has a son which he never talks to or visits because he abandoned his son.  We’re not told he set Will up with neighbors or relatives, we’re not told Earth society has evolved so that children this young can take care of themselves, we’re not given anything to make this seem normal except that a) Will seems to have turned out okay and b) no one but Will seems to care.
I accept that Kyle is too obstinate, too egotistical, and too guarded to cope with his wife’s death, or to properly raise a child, or to take responsibility for his failures as a father.  It’s fine to tell a story about a man who thinks he can waltz back into his son’s life and demand forgiveness while being a raging asshole--that’s real, that’s human.  But this episode frames the issue as though Kyle deserves credit for trying and Will is being unreasonable.  Kyle’s thesis here is “boo-hoo, your mom died and I treated you like shit, waah.  I lost a wife, so think about that, pal.”  Will can tell Kyle hasn’t changed a bit, so why should he be reasonable?
Having painted itself into this corner, “The Icarus Factor” struggles to coherently resolve the father-and-son squabble with a round of the we-just-made-it-up sport of anbo-jyutsu.  Kyle boasts that he’s undefeated against Will (they last played when Will was a teenager, so weird flex but ok), although Will soon discovers he’s always been cheating.  Kyle explains his motivation to keep Will challenged as an adolescent, which doesn’t really explain why he would be cheating now.  And then Kyle admits he’s proud of Will and everything is suddenly okay.  This might work if Will seemed to need or even want Kyle’s admiration.  As it is, it fails to address Kyle’s unwillingness to take responsibility for his son’s ill will towards him.

HALLOWEEN STORY!
Title: Body-Swap! -- A 6,000 word short, written by TEN people, (yes, 10 writers, 10 friends, 10 fandom authors) in the spirit of Halloween!
——————————  YLJE
“Lightning struck, and for a moment the room was lit, and he saw a woman in the room, and she whispered ‘yooouuuu kiiillleeeed meeee!’”
Thunder rumbled in the distance, and Yugi shivered. That wasn’t a true story, was it? It couldn’t be.
“And, it’s a true story,” Jounouchi said with a grin, still holding the flashlight under his chin to cast long shadows across his face.
“Oh, you’re so full of shit! No way that’s real.” Honda lightly punched Jou’s arm, and caught off guard, he dropped the flashlight, which clattered to the floor and went dead.
The room was dark and silent, the occasional roar of thunder the only sound.
“This reminds me of—” Ryou hesitated before he continued, “the...ring. The world in the ring.” The last part was a barely audible whimper.
“You don’t have to worry about that anymore, it’s safely locked away,” Yugi said with a gentle smile.
At the mention of the ring, Yami appeared by Yugi’s side. He hadn’t been interested in the so-called ghost story, but the Millennium Ring was a real danger.
What are you talking about, Aibou?
“A-ah, I just told Bakura-kun not to worry about the ring-spirit anymore.”
He should. There is power in the Millennium Items we cannot possibly comprehend.
Yami’s grave tone left Yugi feeling unsettled, and though the others had not heard the silent conversation, an uneasy tension hung over them all.
”Oh, I just remembered! I have some candy in my bag, anyone want some?”
Yugi didn’t wait for an answer as he hurried over to his backpack, desperate to lighten the mood.
‘I wonder…’ Yugi thought as he reached into his bag, ‘...how it was for Bakura-kun…’ his hand brushed against the leather cover of a book, ‘...in there…’
A blinding flash of light erupted in the room, and Yugi felt like he was being torn in half. His ears were ringing, he couldn’t see, and he blindly grabbed for the puzzle around his neck, trying to find some comfort.
What he found, however, was something soft and round.
He blinked a couple of times, his vision slowly returning, and looked down at himself.
Breasts.
Breasts?!
He heard Anzu yelp, and looked around frantically to find her.
“Anzu, are you okay?” A comforting hand on his shoulder. Yugi looked up to find Yami standing over him with a concerned expression. Yami, in his own body!
Yugi was about to speak, but his tongue didn’t obey.
“Don’t touch me, Pharaoh!” Anzu spat, and slapped Yami’s hand away.
Confused, Yami took a step back. Something was wrong. Something felt wrong. His mind was too quiet. “Anzu?”
“Stupid Pharaoh, I’m not that little friendship bitch.”
The grin on Anzu’s face made Yami’s blood run cold. He knew that maniacal grin.
“Bakura,” Yami growled. He took a threatening step forward, and was about to take another, when there was a knock at the door.
—————————— SEPPO
The knock was quiet, but it was enough to catch Yami’s attention.
Was that Kaiba? Yami wondered distractedly. No, probably Mokuba.
While Kaiba had been somehow convinced to let the gang use one of the many spare rooms in the mansion, he had turned up his nose at the mere idea of hanging out with those dorks, no matter how much Mokuba had pleaded.
Yami swore. Shit. At least Kaiba stood half a chance against the spirit through force of will alone. He wasn’t as sure about Mokuba.
The lapse in attention had been enough for Yami’s grip to slacken, and Bakura squirmed out of his grip and sprinted toward the door.  
Clearly unaccustomed to his newly-possessed body, he stumbled and staggered his way across the floor without even one ounce of Anzu’s grace, running into the door before Yami could even make a move to stop him.
“Give Anzu back!” Yami shouted. He chased after Bakura and began to close the distance between them.
“And ruin this chance? You wish! Have fun with this mess!”
Bakura pushed Yami away, giving himself enough time to open the door and sprint down the hall, making a quick escape.
Left in Bakura’s wake was a very confused Kaiba.
He held his hand up, still poised to knock on the door. His jaw was slack with surprise and his eyes were as wide as saucers. He looked at Yami, then over his shoulder at the direction that Bakura had left, then did a double-take.
Then Kaiba’s voice made a very un-Kaiba like sound.
“Waah? What happened? Who managed to scare Anzu?” He froze in horror, before fearfully raising a hand to his throat, patting down the column on his neck with unsteady fingers. “Heeeeeh?”
—————————— KAILYN
Yami stared at Kaiba in confusion, letting himself forget for a moment that Bakura had just stolen Anzu's body and run away with it.
He wasn't the only one having a hard time processing their situation.
Kaiba began touching his own body, running his fingers through his hair and patting down his torso. Shock crossed over his face and his jaw dropped again, which made Yami raise a brow in surprise. It was as if Kaiba had never ever taken a proper look at his perfect hands, his brown silky hair, his muscular chest…
Kaiba prodded at his face, his lips twitching a bit when he felt soft skin, a strong jaw. Then, his long fingers ghosted across his well-defined stomach. At the same time, he muttered curses between his teeth, curses like shit shit shit, what the fuck is happening—curses that were definitely weird and unusual in the mouth of the young billionaire…
“You and all your magical nonsense!” Jounouchi snarled behind Yami's back. “I should've never let Mokuba talk me into letting you guys borrow a room for your little Halloween party!"
Jounouchi shoved Yami aside roughly, almost pushing him into the wall, but Yami was still too dumbfounded to shout his indignation. He watched his friend make a dash for Kaiba, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and violently jerking him forward, before releasing him and pushing him back with a look of utter disgust on his face.
"If anything happens to Mokuba, I swear..."
Yami did not listen to the end of Kaiba’s sentence.
Kaiba…was in Jounouchi’s body…which meant that Jounouchi was…
As comprehension slowly dawned on him, he turned around, looking at his bewildered friends, who were still sitting together in the middle of the room.
Ryou, eyes wide open, buried his hands in his mane of white hair as if he was about to have a mental breakdown.
Just in front of him sat Marik, who was busy inspecting at his own tanned hands. One would have thought the Egyptian had never taken a proper look at himself before.
"No, no, no! Tell me it's a nightmare!" he wailed, tears of disbelief filling his violet eyes.
"A nightmare?" Ryou asked indignantly, voice lilted with a soft British accent. "At least you have my body!"
——————————LAFEAE
“And how’s that meant to make this any better?” Marik retorted, his trembling voice softening. He brought his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, curling in on himself protectively, as he surveyed the room.  
“Whether it’s your body or anyone else’s...the fact remains that none of us are where we should be...” he mumbled, trying to blink away the tears. The spoken realization, the same connection that Yami pieced together as the pair spoke, was drowned out by the argument that exploded between Jounouchi and Kaiba. “It ain’t like we were planning for this t’ happen,” Kaiba spat, planting his hands on his hips. Jounouchi’s lip curled. “I’m meant to believe that?” “It was a just party, Kaib’!” “And yet here I stand, staring at my own body,” said Jounouchi, swinging an arm toward Kaiba. “Which, by the way, mutt, almost makes you sound intelligent.” Kaiba jeered. “Heh. So ya jus’ like the sound of your own voice. What a fuckin’ surprise!”
As he spoke, his hands slowly slipped from the curve of his hips and traced inward, along the crease of his thighs. “I wonder...” he drawled, a wicked grin appearing. “...if your dick’s as big as your ego.” “Don’t you dare put your filthy hands—“ “Your hands,” Kaiba corrected, smirking.
Jounouchi seethed, reaching out to grasp at Kaiba’s collar, this time with less hesitation.
“Ooh, I’m so scared. What are ya gonna do? Punch yourself in the face? Go on,” he said, his hands pulling away from his groin to tap gently against his cheek, “I’ll take the pain for a sec. Ain’t like I’m the one wearing the bruise...” “That is enough!” Yami said, pulling away from the wall and orienting himself between both parties. “Marik...or Ryou is correct. We are not where we should be, and fighting will not solve it. We need to figure this out.” He pointed toward Kaiba and Jounouchi. “Calmly. Rationally.” The weight of the sudden shift in atmosphere, from jovial to terrified, became palpable once silence fell over everyone.
In the midst of it, uneven footsteps, fighting for momentum, clattered in the distance. “Yeah....” Honda’s frightened voice agreed. He sat on his knees, not far from the circle, eyes wide and hands balled tight at his chest. “My...my body ran off! We have to get it back, like, now I...” he shivered, looking down at himself before squeezing his eyes closed. “I don’t want to be like this forever....” —————————— SETOKAIBAES
“Hey, you don’t gotta worry. We’re gonna fix this, ‘kay?”
Joey’s comforting words sounded strange and unsettling from Kaiba’s mouth. He drew Honda into a friendly, one-armed embrace, reassuringly squeezing his wide shoulders, while Jounouchi watched with a sullen expression.
Yami ignored the touching scene, trying to tap into the mental connection he shared with Yugi.
Partner, if you can hear me, I need your help, he thought desperately, and closed his eyes to concentrate, tentatively searching for any indication that the mental link between himself and Yugi hadn’t been severed.
He was met with static silence.
Yami swallowed down his rising fear and exhaled slowly, mind racing with far too many thoughts, a flurry of potential solutions to a problem he didn’t even know how to approach.
“What are we going to do?” Marik asked quietly, violet eyes flashing with concern. He raised a hand to his shoulders, reaching for a strand of hair to twirl around his index finger out of nervous habit, before he appeared to remember that his blond hair was now eight inches shorter.
Marik frowned, crossing his arms tightly across his chest, and when he spoke again, his voice was distinctly annoyed. “Whatever it is, we have to act quickly. I don’t like this.”
“You’re telling me,” Ryou muttered, pushing his hair out of his face and twisting the long waves that spilled over his shoulders into a knot at the nape of his neck. “Haven’t you ever heard of a haircut? It’s so dead.”
“While you losers talk about personal grooming, I’ll actually do something about this,” Jounouchi growled, stomping forward two paces, before Yami stepped between him and the door, effectively barricading it. “Get out of the way.”
Yami didn’t budge. Jounouchi glared. “Are you just going to stand there like a feral little man? I said, get out of my way!”
“We have to stick together,” Yami insisted, raising a hand to Jounouchi’s chest, distinctly aware that he would never dare to touch Kaiba this way. He ignored the violent shudder beneath his palm and harmlessly let his hand fall away, fingers innocently brushing down the flat plane of Jounouchi’s firm stomach.
“Don’t be stupid,” Jounouchi snapped, grabbing his arm to push him to the side. His fingers wrapped around that lean bicep and squeezed. His intentions were threatening, but he automatically registered the sensation of the sinewy muscle hidden beneath his silky soft skin. “The mansion is enormous. We’ll get this thing over with quickly if we split up and search the rooms individually.”
He was still holding Yami’s wrist.
Recoiling, Jounouchi pushed him away. “Whatever. You geeks can do what you want. I’m getting my body back.”
“Kaiba! You can’t go out there alone!” Yami shouted, forcefully enough to make Jounouchi freeze mid-step. “I agree that we should split up, but not alone.”
He pointed at different people around the room. “Marik and Ryou, you two stick together. Téa, I’m sorry, but you should stay here in case Yugi somehow finds his way back here… Kaiba, you and I will go with Jounouchi.”
Kaiba immediately scrunched his face and raised his voice in protest. “But Yams, I don’t wanna go with him!”
“Do you think I want to be paired with you? Get a grip.”
“Hey, your attitude is not making this any easier, Kaiba!”
Yami stepped between them, stretching onto the tips of his toes, straining more than usual, to cup Kaiba’s face in his hands. It felt strange and different, but right, and he swiped his thumbs over the high apples of Kaiba’s cheekbones.
“It won’t be long now. Try to be patient.”
Kaiba sighed and nodded glumly, and Atem released him.
“Good. The three of us will work together.”
“We checked this room already.”
“You sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure. I think I’d recognize the rooms in my own damn house, Wheeler.”
Kaiba came to an abrupt stop and spun on his heel, violently jabbing a finger into Jounouchi’s chest.
“What’s your fuckin’ beef, Kaiba?”
“My beef?”
“You’re bein’ more of a dick than usual, so what’s the problem?”
Jounouchi glared at him. “Are you really that stupid? We have many problems and you’re asking me to pick one?”
Kaiba took a step forward, looming over Jounouchi by a solid few inches. It was satisfying to see the flash of surprise and fear in his own honey eyes, and to know that the real Seto Kaiba finally saw him as a real threat.
Or himself, at any rate.
“Stop complainin’ or I’ll give you something to complain about!”
“Is that a threat, Wheeler?”
“Nah, just consider it an invitation to square the fuck up, Kaiba!”
“Enough!” Yami barked, stalking between the two and forcibly pushing them apart from one another. “We’re never going to accomplish anything unless you two learn to behave!”
“If you want Wheeler to behave, you’ll have to sign the mutt up for training classes,” Jounouchi sneered, and not even Yami could stand between them when Kaiba lunged all six-feet-and-spare-inches of his gangly body at Jounouchi.
The endless corridors in the Kaiba mansion were fearsome in the dark. Ryou clung to Marik’s arm tightly, sinking his jagged fingernails into his own skin deep enough to leave white, sore crescents into the smooth brown flesh.  
Marik tried not to wince. He didn’t comment on Ryou’s shallow breathing and his wide, panicked eyes— an instinctive and near-primal reaction to the oppressive darkness that had tormented him nearly his entire life.
“Hey, Marik?”
“What?”
He ignored the sharp tone. “You didn’t have anything to do with this, did you?”
Ryou froze, and a strange, suspicious expression crossed over his face. “Did you?”
Marik stared at him quietly.
—————————— INUKISAMA
A distant scream made Ryou and Marik freeze in their tracks. They tried to guess where the screaming had come from, eyes flitting back and forth and looking all over the room.
Ryou gripped Marik’s arm tightly — his own arm, he thought distantly, and he would have laughed at the sheer ridiculousness of it all if he wasn’t so afraid.
“What was that?” Marik asked, feeling the lump of fear traveling up his throat. The scream had sounded feminine, and that meant…
“Anzu?”
Yami couldn’t think, just couldn’t focus with so many grunts, complaints and constant arguments which only ended up wearing out his patience. Couldn’t Kaiba and Jounouchi just shut up for once? He needed to think and find out what had caused this sudden change of bodies. He was also terribly worried about Yugi, who had to share Anzu’s body with Bakura.
This thought made him shudder — his friends were in danger, and nobody seemed to want to cooperate.
Yami rubbed his face in frustration and to calm down, but a distant scream made him freeze in his tracks. It sounded like Anzu — no, Yugi!
“What is it now?” Jounouchi’s voice  interrupted his thoughts in Kaiba’s typically impatient tone.
—————————— CRIMSONDREAMS
“Didn’t you hear that?”
“Hear what?” Kaiba asked, worried.
Of course they hadn’t heard it — they had been too busy arguing and arguing with each other.
“Anzu! She was screaming!”
“Anzu?” Kaiba blinked in confusion.
Yami raked his fingers through his hair desperately.
“Anzu, Yugi, whatever! He’s in danger! Let’s go!” he said impatiently and began to run without exactly knowing where to go. The shout had been faint, but there was no doubt that it was real.
“Yami!” Kaiba shouted, trying to stop him from running and make him go back. But Yami was too fast, so he was left with no option rather than following him from behind with those long legs he was unaccustomed to.
“Where do you think you’re going?!” Jounouchi growled, furious.
On one hand, he would be finally alone, without having to deal with that filthy mutt and his annoying owner. But on the other hand, he didn’t want any more trouble happening in his mansion, with an idiot using his body and running through the dark while chasing his rival. It made sense to follow them.
For some reason, Kaiba felt upset when seeing those two together, so close to one another.
Sometimes he thought that the further they were from him, the better. But it was in moments like these that he wanted Yami to stay away from that filthy dog, even though he couldn’t begin to explain why.
There was also fearful pressure weighing down on his chest and he felt suffocated by his own worries. One question continued to buzz inside his head—
Was Mokuba okay?
——————————AJ
At the time of Anzu’s escape, in another part of the mansion, Mokuba yawned as he switched off his video game console.
It was only when he caught a glimpse of the window that he realized just how late it was. The sun had been high in the sky when he had crept into his room to play his video game, and now the sky was dark, only lit by the moon and a few bright stars.
Mokuba yawned again and registered that his whole body ached from sitting in the same position for hours. He stood up and stretched, raising his arms above his head to try to relieve some of the stiffness in his muscles.
His stomach growled, and he realized that he was starving! Why hadn’t anyone called for supper?
Oh well, I’ll just go and raid the pantry.
It was only when Mokuba reached for the doorknob that he remembered Isono and Seto had made themselves scarce because Yugi and his friends were having a party in the mansion.
The party that I left, Mokuba thought to himself, remembering how out of place he had felt when the party had started. Why do I have to be so much younger than the rest?! It’s not fair. They all look at me as if I’m a baby...well, I’ll show them!
Rather than heading down to the kitchen, he decided to rejoin the party. After all, where there was a party, there was food! Plus, he figured, it might be more fun hanging out with Yugi and the others instead of sulking and playing on his game for another hour or two.
Mokuba reached for the doorknob, excitement bubbling up inside of him at the prospect of joining the Halloween festivities. As he opened the door, someone flew past him, ungracefully disappearing around the corner at the end of the corridor.
It took him a moment to recognize that it was Anzu.
What’s she running from? Mokuba wondered, concern rising.
“Anzu!” he cried and ran after her to find out.
Meanwhile, Anzu’s body (with Bakura at the helm) clumsily turned yet another corner. This mansion was like a maze!
“Finally!” Bakura exclaimed.
He finally found the grand staircase that led straight to the front door.
Oh no, Yugi thought as he looked on while Bakura led Anzu’s body down the stairs. Yugi felt powerless to stop him. Bakura’s presence was too strong for him to overpower.
They were near the front door now. Yugi felt the nausea curl in his stomach just picturing the destruction Bakura could cause if he managed to escape.
“I won’t let you leave!” Yugi shouted, fighting Bakura with all his strength to regain control of Anzu’s body.
Bakura could feel his own control slipping as Yugi’s presence gained strength in their shared body.
“This can’t be happening!” he growled. He was so close!
Snarling, Bakura attempted to squash Yugi’s presence completely, but to his dismay, he realized Yugi had more control than he first thought.
He was beginning to lose control of Anzu’s legs. Every step was slow and heavy, as if he was wading through thick mud that reached his knees.
He stopped only a few paces from freedom.
Bakura heard the dull thud of footsteps behind them, and he turned around to glare at the idiot who had foolishly followed them, expecting it to be the Pharaoh.
It wasn’t.
Glee rose within Bakura as he watched Mokuba slide to a stop in front of him and try to catch his breath.
He doesn’t know about the swap! Bakura realized. This will be easy.
“What’s going on?! Why are you running?!” Mokuba panted out, gasping for breath.
“Something happened, something I can’t explain. But I have to get out. Now!” Bakura replied, trying hard to imitate Anzu to quell any suspicion that Mokuba might have.
It worked.
“Let me help!”
Mokuba approached Anzu and reached out to put a comforting arm around her. Bakura took his chance. He grabbed the young boy’s arm and twisted it behind his back, forcing Mokuba to his knees.
Mokuba grunted in surprise and pain shot through his arm and knees. He was too shocked to make any other noise.
Yugi, however, started shouting and pleading with Bakura. Let him go! He’s just a child, please!
Bakura knew Yugi well enough to know that he would do anything to keep his friends from being hurt.
“Give up any control you have over this pathetic body, and then I shall consider it,” Bakura replied out loud, tightening his grip on a very confused Mokuba.
While Bakura and Yugi fought for control, Mokuba ignored Anzu’s strange behavior and tried to make out the noise coming from the second story. He didn’t understand what was going on, but when he noticed that Anzu was distracted, he twisted his head around and bit Anzu’s forearm.
Hard.
She screamed and let go.
Taking his chance to escape, Mokuba clambered to his feet and raced up the stairs. He had to find Seto! Full of adrenaline, Mokuba ran, not watching where he was going. As he turned a corner, he slammed directly into something, sending him flying backwards.
Before he could crash onto the ground, strong hands flew out to grip him. He looked up to see light brown hair, falling in front of clear, blue eyes that were full of surprise, and concern.
“Seto!” Mokuba exclaimed, relief flooding him as he threw his arms around his big brother.
——————————FICTIONAL SADIST
Jonouchi received the younger Kaiba swiftly and hugged him back instinctively, his brotherly reflexes kicking in faster than his brains. A low growl behind him, however, reminded him what was going on.
A heavy hand landed on his shoulder, gripping it so forcefully that he heard his shoulder give way with a quiet crack! from the pressure.
Katsuya noticed his own body, now inhabited by the pompous prick, was strong, and right now, facing Kaiba’s murderous gaze, he also realized that size did not count for everything.
“Just what do you think you’re do-” Seto began irritably, just as Yami zoomed past them, blowing off the end of his sentence. This made the elder Kaiba pause a fraction, though he soon recovered.
“Anyway, paws off, mutt, now,” the elder Kaiba demanded. Jonouchi scoffed, blue eyes flashing challengingly, and did not deign to answer.
If looks could kill, there would be a pair of dismembered, bloody bodies on the floor right now. Silence built up a tension so thick that even the ruckus downstairs could not pierce through.
Meanwhile, the Pharaoh went straight toward the mess that Anzu had become, jumping down a flight of stairs and tackling her at full speed. He hit her with the force of a bulldozer and sent them both rolling on the magnificent tiled floors. His knees protested when they hit the hard, cold surface, and he winced inwardly when he saw his opponent felt the same kind of pain.
“Sorry, Anzu,” he apologized quickly, thinking of the bruises he would have to explain later.
It was as if a wild beast had taken over his friend. Anzu’s usually friendly face had contorted into a strained sneer, while her eyes burned with rage and deadly threats.
Yugi was there as well, somewhere, and fighting for dear life, but at the moment Yami could only see the thief glaring at him.
The next moment, a strangled cry escaped the girl’s lips and she thrashed frantically to throw him off.
In what he thought to be Seto’s arms, Mokuba let out a shaky breath and looked up.
“Big brother, what’s happening?”
Said brother glanced back at him, hesitating, his gaze both soft and clouded with something akin to panic, and alarms blared in the boy’s head.
In the corner of his vision, he noticed Jonouchi was stiff as a board, his mouth a tight line and his left eye twitching in barely contained anger. The blond was quite open with his emotions and his short temper often showed, though something was definitely wrong here. His normally fiery pupils held an icy, merciless glint. Never had Jounouchi shown such an attitude, glaring as if Seto was an obstacle he could disintegrate with his gaze alone.
It appeared that Anzu was not the only one acting out of character. Had the entire manor gone mad?
“Some help, maybe?” Yami shouted, effectively drawing everyone’s attention back to the urgent matters at hand. The trio forgot their feud temporarily and hurried down.
The Pharaoh was desperately trying to control Anzu. She was clawing at his arms and kicking as if the devil was possessing her, which, in a way, he was. Even in this body foreign to him, Bakura was fighting with impressive strength.
Noticing his friends coming to him, Yami groaned in relief. Really, they had taken their merry time. That had been a perfectly chosen time for Kaiba and Jonouchi to tear into one another while he was busy struggling for their friend’s soul. Not.
If he did not already have his hands full, he would have gladly smacked both morons - his blond airhead of a friend and the other, er, friend, rich ass, something-more-maybe? - into next week. He was tired of them and their stupidity.
But as things stood, he was busy wrestling against one hell of a harpy-like demon that was trying to kick his balls off and punch his teeth in. He had never considered that he and Anzu would clarify their unexpressed feelings this way.
While Yami was distracted, Bakura managed to flip their positions.
Jounouchi pushed a confused Mokuba to where his brother was trying to glare holes in his own body and leapt on top of the struggling pair.
The impact smashed Yami’s face into Anzu’s. Their lips connected briefly before Yami found himself hauled back. He was about to shout at whoever was holding him when he found himself looking down into his own eyes.
“Oh crap…” Yami gasped in Anzu’s voice as saw his and Yugi’s body staring right back at him.
“Yami?! Is that you?” Yugi squeaked.
The rest of occupants of the room froze when Bakura’s dark chuckle echoed around them.
Bakura lifted the puzzle and pressed it to his lips.
“Thank you for this lovely gift pharaoh,” he purred, before turning and making a dash for the door. He grabbed the door handle but when he pulled, nothing happened.
Mokuba showed Seto an app on his cellphone. “I don’t leave my room without it. It can trigger the security system my brother programed which locks the doors.”
Jounouchi put Anzu down and charged at Bakura, slamming him into the firmly locked doors. Yugi and Yami both winced as they heard their skull crack against the door, then watch their body slide to the floor.
“Good job, little brother,” Kaiba whispered fondly and ruffled Mokuba’s hair.
Mokuba blinked. “Is somebody gonna tell me what is going on? Why was Anzu going psycho? Why did Yugi tackle her? Why did he go psycho?”
“More importantly, how did Yami and Bakura switch bodies?” Kaiba asked.
“Wait-what? Somebody please explain to me what the hell is happening?!” Mokuba demanded.
“Unexplained magical shenanigans and now everyone is in different bodies. You know, the usual.” Yugi explained with a roll of his eyes. “I’m Yugi. That was Bakura...who was in Anzu’s body with me...but now he’s in mine and Yami is with me...but  how did that happen?”
“I’m not sure, Aibou,” Yami muttered. “It happened when Jounouchi got involved in the struggle my head hit Anzu’s.”
He felt their face heating up.  “...What?”
“You...um...may have accidentally kissed her— us…” Yugi admitted.
Jounouchi began laughing, muttering something about how of course that was what Yugi noticed.
Kaiba rolled his eyes, then cringed. “Well...as much as I don’t want to test this, it might be worth the taste of wet dog.”
Mokuba watched Seto, (or Jounouchi, or whatever) march over to Jounouchi and grab him by the front of his shirt to pull him forward and to plant their lips firmly together.
The room went quiet.
Jounouchi turned three shades of green before shoving Kaiba back. Both men wiped their mouths before checking that they were in the proper place.
Kaiba immediately ducked a puch from Jounouchi before turning and  heading over to Yami and Yugi, while Jounouchi fell on his face.
Seto pulled Yami and Yugi to their feet, only to pull their bodies flush.
“To get rid of the taste,” he told them before sealing their lips together.
That was the only reason, he thought privately. Not because he was jealous that Yami had kissed Anzu.
Yami felt Yugi’s soul faint in embarrassment before he opened his eyes, now staring down at Anzu’s face, which mirrored Yugi’s confusion.
“What the hell?” Yami asked. He could feel Seto’s soul there with him. “How in the name of the gods did you do that, Kaiba?” Yami asked incredulously with Kaiba’s voice, only to feel their shoulders shrug in response.
——————————UGLI
Yami tentatively wiggled his fingers.
His fingers moved, but the most unnerving thing was the image of Kaiba’s fingers moving at his side in response.
He could feel Kaiba’s anxiety rising the longer they shared his body.
It was very similar to the way Yugi’s soul felt when he was struggling during a particularly hard duel, so Yami let himself to take comfort in this before speaking again, trying not to let his surprise show, because he was speaking with Kaiba’s voice.
“Yugi?” he asked carefully, directing his question toward Yugi’s body, but he saw Anzu nod stiffly in the corner of his eye, and he turned to face her instead. “Are you alright, Aibou?”
Yugi nodded again and shivered, hugging himself tightly, feeling another cold draft passing by, causing goosebumps to rise along his arms.
He spied an odd movement across the room in the semi-darkness, and he found himself staring at Honda, but he was entirely transparent, and his legs had faded into the dark wall behind him. Shocked, Yugi pointed frantically at Honda and stammered nervously, “You’re a ghost! What happened to you?!”
He turned to stare at the solid version of Honda standing behind him, who had his arms wrapped protectively in front of his chest. Anzu frowned sourly at Yugi and shrugged the muscular shoulders of Honda’s body, hating how stiff everything felt. She had had enough and wanted to be back into her own body. The longer Yugi spent occupying her body, the more embarrassing it would be for them later on.
“Dude! Yugi, I’ve been trying to get someone to look at me for the past hour!” Honda cried, whipping his head around to stare at all the strange expressions on everyone’s faces. “Am I...dead?”
“Are you dead?” Yugi echoed uncertainly, and the Honda behind him spoke up, sounding very much like Anzu. “Yugi…? W-Who are you talking to?”
“Me!” Honda exclaimed loudly, dancing comically on the spot, making faces in Jounouchi’s direction but receiving no reaction from his friend. “And I haven’t moved from this spot, funnily enough. It seems like I can’t!”
Yugi frowned, feeling all eyes in the room on him, and he fixed his gaze on his backpack, lying neglected on the floor against the wall, right behind Mokuba...right where Honda’s body was sticking strangely out of the wall.
He moved instinctively toward it and bent down to rifle through it, remembering he had brought a fun book he had found in Grandpa’s stash of artifacts, but had completely forgotten to mention it.
He was certain that this had to be the cause of the odd body switching that had been going on in the past hour.
Mokuba watched Yugi pull out a thick, dusty book and fanned the pages open carefully. He crossed his arms, eyeing the door, losing interest quickly. This party had started out exciting, but now it was beginning to suck.
“I hate reading. I’m leaving,” Mokuba announced brattily, marching toward the door.
“Wait! We might need your help since you’re the only one who is unaffected!” Yugi cried shrilly in Anzu’s voice, and Mokuba nearly choked as he found himself caught around the collar by his older brother.
“Mokuba…” Kaiba started, opening and closing his mouth oddly, feeling Yami’s presence hovering obtrusively on the tip of his tongue, clearly also trying to speak, but he had spoken first, so…this meant he was in control...for now….
“Lemme go!” Mokuba squirmed against his brother’s one-armed hug, and Yugi held the book up triumphantly, looking relieved. “This is how we fix it!
“What in the— is that…the Millennium Tome?” Bakura asked quietly, and Yugi nodded anxiously, staring at his own body across the room, wondering if he always looked that small from afar.
“The what?” Mokuba asked obnoxiously, roughly re-adjusting his shirt and composing himself proudly. “Another Millennium item?”
“Great! I’ve become Yami!” Honda added unhelpfully, and Yugi began to protest, but before he could speak, a crescendo of loud footsteps came echoing up from the hallway.
Marik and Ryou burst into the room, breathless with excitement and glee.
“Look what we found!” Ryou sang playfully, swinging the millennium Ring in front of his face steadily for everyone to see. “Say, Kaiba, why is this h—”
Ryou paused mid-sentence as the ring began to pulse with a strange glow, brightening and fading every few seconds like a rapidly beating heart, while the book and the puzzle also began to blink and pulse in sync with the ring, until the entire room was filled with the odd flickering lights emitting from all three Millennium Items.
“Now are we dead?” Honda yelled anxiously, and no one but Yugi heard him as a familiar blinding light flooded the room, causing everyone’s eyes to sting and their bodies to sweat.
A strange, hollow tone rang in everyone’s ears before it all grew quiet, and they found themselves staring at each other, safely back in their own bodies and standing right where they had been before, but with one key difference: a second Yugi.
A Yugi with wilder hair and narrow violet eyes was standing apprehensively beside another Yugi, with a round, friendly face.
“Aibou, it worked,” Yami said warmly, completely unaware that the entire room was gaping at them shocked into silence. “You’re back in your own body!”
Kaiba blinked rapidly, thoroughly amazed, and fighting a series of conflicting emotions.
True indeed.
Everyone was back in their own bodies...but somehow, the Other Yugi had managed to obtain a body too!
This man, who looked exactly like Yugi, standing beside Yugi, walking and talking like Yugi, was real, right? This was him, right?
This was...the Other Yugi!

Diabolik Lovers VANDEAD CARNIVAL ;; Present from Mukami [PART 2]
Tumblr media
ー The scene starts in the kitchen
Yui: Okay...The oven is preheated.
( ...Once the tart crust finished baking, I’ll pour the custard cream inside. )
( Then after putting plenty of Yuma-kun’s homegrown fruits on top, it’ll be ready. )
( I just have to wait for it to finish baking now, so I suppose I could go check up on the others... )
Selection
→ Check up on the nearby duo
Yuma: Ow!!
Yui: A-Are you okay, Yuma-kun!?
Yuma: Aahn? When did I ask for yer concern?
Yui: B-But...Your finger’s bleeding! We have to clean the wound and disinfect it right away...
Yuma: Aah? You’re fussin’ way too much. A lil’ saliva will do the trick just fine, geez. ...Nn...
Yui: ( Will he be okay...? )
Yuma: Oi, Sow...Don’t be starin’ my way. You’re distractin’ me...
Yui: I-I’m sorry...! Um...I just thought there might be something I can help with...
Yuma: There isn’t.
Ruki: Yuma, don’t be so harsh. You haven’t been making much progress this whole time. I’m sure there’s some tasks you can give her.
Yuma: Ugh...That’s not true...
Ruki: Don’t lie. There aren’t enough ingredients for the soup. If you can’t cut these vegetables, I’m putting someone else in charge.
Yuma: Ah, ya can’t! I’ll cut these!
Yui: ( I can tell he’s really motivated... )
( I wonder what he’s making...? )
( Ah...This scent coming from the pot... )
( It’s consommé...! )
Um, Yuma-kun? I’ll help out where I can!
Yuma: Fuck off!! There’s nothin’ for ya to help me with!!
Yui: ...Sorry...
Ruki: Yuma. Ask for help just for today. You’re going to cut these vegetables?
Yuma: ...Yeah, that’s the plan but it’s not really workin’ out as I’d like.
Yui: ( There’s several incisions... )
( I wonder if he’s trying to cut them into a certain shape...? )
Yuma-kun, are you cutting these in shapes?
Yuma: ...Shapes.
Yui: ...?
Yuma: Are you deaf!? I said star shapes!!
Yui: Star...shapes...?
Yuma: What!? Is it that weird I want to cut them into damn stars!?
Yui: N-No, it’s not strange at all. I’m just a little surprised, that’s all...
Yuma: ...We looked at them over at the deli counter when we went shoppin’, remember? Heart and star shapes...
I want to try that as well! Get it now!?
Yui: Y-Yeah.
Ruki: Yuma, stop losing your temper while holding a kitchen knife.
Also, it doesn’t matter if they’re shaped like stars or not, just cut them regularly.
Yuma: I’m strugglin’ ‘cause I can’t do that!
Yui: ( Honestly, it’s kind of a rare sight to see Yuma-kun get so serious about cooking... )
( Also, when I think he’s cutting them into stars, I can’t help but find that kind of cute! )
Ruki: Yuma. You’re being laughed at.
Yui: ...!!
Yuma: Aah!? What’s so damn funny, huh!?
Yui: I-It isn’t! I just thought everyone would be happy if they were star-shaped!
( I’m sure chaos will break loose if I call him cute... )
Yuma: Hah! That’s exactly why I’m tryin’ to cut these carrots into stars!
Ruki: It won’t make a difference in taste though.
Yuma: Ya eat with yer eyes too, right!?
Ruki: But there’s no point if it gets in the way of actually completing the dish, right?
Yui: W-Wait! I know a good hack!
( I feel as if they’ll start a discussion if I leave these two be now... )
Yuma: Oh...! For real!?
Yui: Yeah!
Um...It’d be a piece of cake if you have cookie cutters.
Yuma: Ahー Now that ya mention it, I’m pretty sure we have some of those layin’ ‘round?
Yui: Really?
( I’m honestly a little surprised we’ll easily find some cookie cutters in this house’s kitchen... )
Yuma: Let’s just say Azusa likes to use those for his own pleasure.
Yui: ( ...What on earth is he doing with them...? )
Yuma: Whatcha gettin’ all down for? Don’t worry. They’re still unused.
Yui: That’s not the problem!
*Rustle*
Yuma: Here, this is what you mean, right?
Yui: Yeah! It should be easy with these!
You cut the carrots into slices first and then use the cookie cutter to cut out the shape.
Yuma: Heehー I’m pretty sure I can pull that off on my own. No need to help me.
Yui: Eh? ...I-I’ll help out as well!
Yuma: Well, Ruki’s been on my case as well, so I guess I’ll leave those veggies up to ya.
Yui: Yeah, thanks. I’ll carefully cut them.
Yuma: ‘Course! These are the veggies I poured my heart and soul into after all!
*Chop chop chop*
Ruki: You’re finally providing the ingredients, it seems. I’m sure I’ll be able to create a nice-tasting dish with these.
Yui: These vegetables make a big difference after all, don’t they?
Ruki: Exactly.
*Chop chop chop*
Yui: ( ーー There we go. I guess we finished chopping everything up for the soup? )
Ruki-kun, can I put them inside?
Ruki: Yeah, I’ll leave that up to you. Yuma, how are those star-shaped carrots looking?
Yuma: Perfect! It’d be borin’ to just put them in the soup, so I made enough to sprinkle on top of the salad as well!
Ruki: ...Do you like them?
Yuma: Yeah! It’s kind of fun to pop them out one after the other! I wonder if there’s anythin’ else I can cut with these?
Yui: Then let’s make cookies next time! I’m sure you’ll be able to put those to great use!
Yuma: Why ‘later’? We still have time to make some, no? 
Ruki: ...Right. It should be fun to have one additional dish.
Yui: Then, for the recipe, it’s in this book so...
Yuma: Oh! I’ll get to it then!
Ruki: Seems like Yuma really took a liking to cutting out shapes. Well, I guess we can let him have his fun.
Yui: Fufu, right...!
Ruki: Well then, shall we taste the soup? ...I’m curious.
Yui: ( Yuma-kun is having fun, but Ruki-kun seems to be enjoying himself as well. )
Ruki: ...
...
...What? If you have the time to stand there watching me, then start moving those hands already. Get on with your own task.
Yui: Y-Yeah...Right. Sorry. However...
Ruki: ...?
Yui: U-Um, I’m curious about the taste of the soup as well...So I was wondering if you’d let me have a little sip?
Ruki: ...Be my guest. However, it’s just average. Something is missing...
We need to think about the balance with the other dishes as well. I can’t make the taste any richer. Should I add more water...?
Yui: Hm...You’re right. I do think it is plenty delicious already, but...
Ruki: Nobody asked for your opinion, but I suppose I’ll let you think about it if you want to.
Yui: ( Hm, let’s see...It might be good to draw out the flavor of the vegetables a little more. )
Ruki: Should we add more acidity from the tomatoes?
Yui: Ah, wait. In that case, why don’t we try adding a bit of lemon juice?
Ruki: Lemon juice...? It would work the same in terms of adding acidity, I suppose...
Yui: They’re fresh vegetables, so I feel like it’s adding a lot of sweetness.
Ruki: ...I see. I suppose I’ll try adding some then.
Yui: Yeah! What do you think...?
Ruki: Not bad. Seems like it was a clever suggestion coming from someone like you. Want to try it?
Yui: Can I? Thank you!
...Yeah, it’s delicious!
Ruki: Right? I’m looking forward to serving this to the others as well.
Yui: ( Ruki-kun looks happy. I hope everyone else will like it too... )
Ruki: I suppose I should lower the heat so it doesn’t overcook. Okay, next up’sーー 
Yuma: Say, it slipped my mind for a sec, but...
But what are we doin’ with this turkey?
Ruki: Aah, that one. I bought it because it’s a staple of any Christmas feast, however...
Yui: ( They’re both looking at... )
Me!?
Ruki: You’re the one who brought it up, so I assume you know how to prepare it?
Yui: Ah, yeah. For the most part...
Yuma: ‘Kay. We’ll leave this bad boy up to ya then.
I’ll get back to my cookies.
Ruki: Good idea. It’d be a waste of time for all three of us to work on the same dish. You should do it.
Yui: ( ... )
( I feel as if this was kind of pushed on me... )
*TIMESKIP*
Ruki: ーー We’re pretty much done. How’s your chicken looking?
Yui: Yeah, I think it’ll be okay...Yuma-kun, how’s the cooking time?
Yuma: It’s lookin’ hella good. Smells nice from the herbs, no?
Ruki: ...It definitely triggers the appetite. Okay, let’s get to plating them.
Yui: ( Thank god. I was honestly a little worried when they left it up to me. )
I’ll put out the plates then!
Ruki: Yeah, thank you.
Also, I’d like to carry all finished dishes to the dining room if they’re done with the decorations over there.
Yuma: Speak of the devil.
ー Kou and Azusa enter the kitchen
Kou: We’ve come to check up on you guys~ How are things looking on your end? ...Wait.
Waah! It smells great here! Seems like you guys safely got everything ready in time as well~
Yui: Yeah, we just need to put everything on the plates and carry them to the dining room. How are the decorations looking?
Azusa: Just fine...Kou said that we should...make the final touches together...
Ruki: The final touches...? I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but I suppose we should get all the food ready first.
Yui: Yeah!
→ Go to the dining room
ー The scene shifts to the dining room
Kou: Ah, M-neko-chan! Did you come to help us out? I’m so glad~!
Yui: Yeah! I came here hoping there was still something I could help out with but...It seems like you’re almost ready with the preparations.
Kou: Pretty much! We’d get scolded by Ruki-kun if we slack off after all!
Yui: Fufu, good point. You have to finish before they do, or the food will go cold after all.
The table looks completely different from usual as well. Just a few hours left till we can get this Christmas party started!
Azusa: Say, Eve? Am I doing it right? I’m lining up the stuff we bought today. Tell me if I made a mistake, okay...?
Yui: Don’t worry! You didn’t make any mistakes.
( The Christmas-colored table mats are so cute! )
( The napkins placed at every seat are lovely as well. And above all... )
( Seeing those candles kind of takes me back to the Mass at Church. )
Azusa: Is something the matter? 
Yui: Ah, no. I’m just looking forward to spending Christmas in such a wonderfully decorated room.
Azusa: I’m glad you like it...
*Cling*
Azusa: ...Fufu, this is the last one. The table has been all set...
Yui: All of the silverware has been polished to perfection. Did you do this too?
Azusa: Yeah. It’s especially important to sharpen the knives, or they won’t cut as well, right?
Yui: Sounds like something you would think of.
Kou: Hm. Props to you for getting all of M-neko-chan’s praise, Azusa-kun.
Yui: ...Kou-kun? Is something wrong?
Kou: Nn~ I’m just a little jealous of Azusa-kun.
Yui: Eh? J-Jealous?
Kou: Fufu, just a little bit? You’re only giving him compliments after all.
Yui: You did an amazing job too. You put together the Christmas tree, right?
Kou: Yeah, exactly~ Fufu, it really does feel nice to get praised by you!
That being said, I’m still in the middle of decorating it though.
Azusa: Is that so? In that case, I’ll help out. I’m done with my work after all.
Yui: Decorating the tree, right? I’ll lend a hand too!
Kou: Okay! Let’s decorate it all together then.
Azusa: The tree...It looks prickly...
Yui: Fufu, it really does!
Azusa-kun, you hang ornaments on the branches like this.
Azusa: I wouldn’t mind if the tree decorated me with its needles.
Kou: Pfft! Azusa-kun...Geez! We obviously can’t let that happen.
Yui: E-Exactly, Azusa-kun!
Azusa: ...Is that so? That’s a little disappointing. I’m sure that having my whole body stabbed by those needles is a pain I can only experience today...
Kou: I don’t mean to judge you for your personal preferences, but today you can’t do that.
Azusa: I couldn’t have my knife...And I’m not allowed to stab myself with the tree either...Is Christmas really supposed to be fun?
*Rustle*
Yui: Azusa-kun, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Christmas has to be a precious time you spend with family after all...
Azusa: Eve...
Yui: ( Ah, I grabbed his hand in the spur of the moment, but... )
I’m sorry. Um...I just want you to understand. I’m sure it’ll be fun, so let’s try and forget about pain for today?
Azusa: ...Sure. If you insist...
Kou: Haah, thank god. Well then, let’s get back on track and decorate the tree!
*TIMESKIP*
Azusa: Hey, look. This soft, fluffy padding. If you put it underneath your mouth, it looks like a white beard.
Yui: Fufu, you’re right. You look like Santa Claus right now.
Azusa: Santa...Claus?
Yui: Yeah. Santa Claus comes to visit on his sleigh every year on Christmas day, you see.
Then he gives presents to all good children.
Azusa: Heeh...
I’ve never met him but...I see...Only to good children, huh...?
Kou: Pretty sure nobody in this household qualifies~ (1)
Well, getting our hands on what we want with brute force fits us much better anyway, don’t you think so, M-neko-chan~?
Yui: ( Um... )
Azusa: Kou is right...
Yui: Y-You too, Azusa-kun...!?
Azusa: Fufu...
Yui: ( I feel as if I shouldn’t linger on this topic for too long... )
U-Um...Kou-kun? Could you put this on the tree for me?
Azusa-kun, you should continue decorating as well, okay...?
Kou: Fufu, right! Right now we have to stick to the Christmas mood!
Azusa: What should I do with this cotton padding then?
Yui: Ah, right. It’s something meant to mimic snow, so you have to tear it up and sprinkle it across the branches.
Azusa: Okay, gotcha.
Kou: Can I just put these bells and snowman ornaments wherever I want?
Yui: Yeah, they don’t have a set place or anything. I’ll leave it up to your personal taste.
( I should get to decorating as well. )
*TIMESKIP*
Yui: ( ...Every year, I would always decorate the tree by myself instead of Father since he was so busy. )
( However, this year... )
...
Kou: What’s wrong, M-neko-chan? Your hands have stopped moving?
Azusa: Is something bothering you?
Yui: ( I’m decorating with everyone. Fufu, I’m kind of happy. )
No, it’s nothing. Let’s put on the lights once we’re finished with the ornaments!
Kou: Roger! I’m so excited to put the lights on~ They’re the thing I had the most trouble choosing at the store.
Yui: I see.
Kou: We chose them together. Ruki-kun has that cool image so he’s black, no?
Azusa: Yuma is orange...right?
Kou: Exactly! We chose our own favorite color.
And this light pink is you! Fits you perfectly, no?
Yui: Waah! I’m so happy! ...Thank you!
Azusa: Fufu, I’m glad you’re happy.
Yui: Let’s put them on then.
( Covering the whole surface... )
( ... )
( ... )
( Yeah, this should do...! )
Azusa: I finished adding the cotton decorations.
Yui: I’m done over here as well!
Kou: The ornaments are looking perfect as well! In that case, let’s test whether the lights work or not.
Yui: Yeah! Good idea.
Kou: Here we go! Lights on!
*Click*
Yui: Wah...How beautiful. There’s different colors lighting up.
Kou: We made the right choice! I’m looking forward to enjoying these all together!
Azusa: Yeah, it’s really...pretty.
Kou: Right~? I can’t wait to show Ruki-kun and the others!
Yui: ( Huh? But I feel as if something is missing. I wonder what...? )
( We put plenty of ornaments and lights on the tree... )
Kou: Hm...? What’s wrong, M-neko-chan?
Yui: Ah, yeah...I feel as if it’s not quite right yet...
Kou: Could it be this, perhaps?
Yui: Ah! The big star you put on the very top of the tree!
Azusa: ...Once we add that to the tree...It’ll become even more beautiful, right? Let’s put it on, Kou...
Kou: Nu-uh~ This is a special star, so I thought it’d be better to put it on once all five of us have gathered here together.
Azusa: ...I see. Yeah...Good point.
Yui: In that case, let’s go check up on them once we’re done here.
ー Ruki enters the room
*Thud*
Yui: Ah...
Ruki: I’ve come to check up on your process. Are you done with the decorations?
Azusa: Yeah, we just finished. What do you think?
Ruki: ...Yeah, it looks beautiful. The three of you really tried your best.
Kou: Hooray! Nothing quite boosts one’s self-confidence like a compliment from Ruki-kun!
Azusa: Yeah, me too...I’m very happy.
Kou: Say, Azusa-kun, M-neko-chan? Can you both raise your hands for a sec?
Azusa: What...?
Yui: ...?
*Tap*
Yui: Kyah!?
Azusa: Wah! W-What was that...?
Kou: A high five! It’s a way to celebrate a shared success! I’m looking forward to Yuma-kun’s reaction as well~
Azusa: Yeah...I put Yuma through a lot of trouble earlier...So I hope he’ll like it...
Yui: I’m sure he will! I’m excited.
Ruki: There’s no shame in rejoicing, but there’s still some work left. We’ll carry the food here. Lend me a hand.
Yui: Yeah!
( I’m sure the crust should be about done by now as well... )
( I’ll go finish it by adding the custard and fruits! )
*TIMESKIP*
*Thud*
Yui: This should be the final plate of food, right?
Ruki: Yeah. We’ve carried everything here. Yuma, pour our drinks.
Yuma: Already on it.
*Cling*
Yui: ( The candles have been lit and there’s a warm buffet laid out. The room is decorated as well... )
Kou: Haah~ Looking good, don’t you think~? Seeing all these different dishes lined up on the table~
Azusa: Looks delicious...
Yuma: It doesn’t just ‘look’ good. I can promise ya the taste won’t disappoint either. Ya better look forward to it!
Kou: Geez, you’re way too excited, Yuma-kun.
I can’t wait to try this cake loaded with fruit you made either.
Yui: Really? I’m glad to hear that.
Ruki: You two gave it your best shot as well. The elaborate decorations help lighten the mood up as well.
Yuma: Hell yeah. When the room is decorated this way, I immediately get those ‘today’s a special day’ vibes.
Altho it still feels a little weird for us Vampires to celebrate Christmas.
Ruki: Haha, you have a point.
It may be strange for us Vampires, but this day only comes once a year. It shouldn’t hurt to celebrate every once in a while, right?
Kou: I appreciate all the praise, but we’re not quite done yet~
Yuma: Aahn? Whatcha mean?
Azusa: We have to put the biggest star on the very top of the tree.
Ruki: ...? Why did you not put it on yet?
Kou: Eeh~? I mean, this is such a rare occasion, so I wanted all of us to be here and witness its completion.
Yuma: I see. Sounds good? I don’t dislike that way of thinkin’.
Azusa: Well then, Kou. Here. Put it on top.
Yui: ( Azusa-kun is handing the star to Kou-kun... )
Kou: Thank you, Azusa-kun. Well then...Here, M-neko-chan~
Yui: ...Eh?
Kou: None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for you after all.
So I want to leave this up to you!
Yui: No way...Are you sure I can put it on?
Ruki: Don’t sweat the details. If you don’t put that on, we can never get the party started.
Yuma: Oi, Sow. Get on with it.
Azusa: ...Put it on with your very own hands.
Yui: Thank you guys. Well then...
*Rustle*
Kou: Ready? Lights on!
*Click*
Ruki: Hooh...
Yuma: Wow! What’s this? I didn’t know these trees light up!
Azusa: ...I like Christmas.
Yui: ( How pretty. I could gaze at it forever... )
Kou: Well then, we’ve finished decorating so let’s get to our seats and eat now!
Yuma: Yeah! Nothin’ like enjoyin’ a meal surrounded by those shimmerin’ lights!
ー Everyone sits down at the table
Ruki: Oi, Yui. You should sit down as well.
Yuma: Geez, ya slowpoke! Whatcha doin’? Hurry up and get yer ass over here.
Kou: Come on, we’re going to get started without you, M-neko-chan!
Azusa: Eve, hurry...Everyone already took a seat.
Yui: Ah, yeah, wait! I’ll be there in a sec...
Tumblr media
*Cling cling*
Everyone: Merry Christmas.
Yuma: ‘Kay! Time to chow down!
Ruki: Thank you for the meal.
Kou: I’m digging in~!
Azusa: ...Let me have a taste...
Yui: Thanks for the meal!
Kou: Mmh~! Yuma-kun’s vegetables never fail to amaze me!
Yuma: I’m the one who grew them, so they’re obviously gonna be delicious!
Azusa: ...Nom, nom.
Ruki: I’m glad you’re all enjoying it.
Kou: Although I’m a little curious about these oddly-shaped vegetables.
Yuma: The taste’s still the same so whatever!!
Ruki: Yuma, don’t shout too loud.
Yuma: Che...Those are the duds. There’s some proper stars in there as well.
Kou: ...These are supposed to be stars!?
Ruki: Right. Yuma shed blood, sweat and tears to make those.
Azusa: ...The fruit tart you made is delicious. The crust is crisp...
Yui: I’m glad to hear that. Yuma-kun is the one who grew the fruits on top as well.
Azusa: Yuma is amazing. I don’t think I could ever grow vegetables...
Ruki: Yuma is great at taking care of things after all. Why don’t you try looking after someone else as well for a change?
Azusa: ...Look after someone else...?
Yui: ( I’m honestly having trouble picturing that... )
Yuma: In that case, why don’t you let him take care of you, Ruki?
Ruki: ...!
...Azusa, forget what I said just now. Understood?
Azusa: Yeah, sure...
Kou: Ahaha! This is so much fun. Hey, M-neko-chan, thank you!
Yui: ...Eh?
Kou: I’m thanking you for teaching us about Christmas.
It’s our first time celebrating such a fun event, so we’re all in high spirits!
Yui: ...I should be the one saying thank you. I thought I would be spending the day alone...so I felt a little down.
However, I’m really happy you all worked together to create such a fun Christmas for me. Thank you, everyone...
Yuma: Hah, we didn’t do this for ya or anythin’. We only went through with it ‘cause it sounded fun.
Yui: I’m still glad regardless. For letting me join your Christmas party.
Yuma: I mean, ya are kind of a bother to us, but did ya really think we’d leave ya out?
Kou: Ah~ Yuma-kun’s flustered~!
Yuma: Haah!? Why would I get flustered!?
Ruki: You’re red all the way to your ears. Why don’t you be honest with yourself?
Yuma: You too, Ruki!?
Ruki: Hmph...My bad. Seems like I’m having a bad case of ‘the slip of the tongue’ today.
Yuma: Che...!
Ruki: Yuma, cheer up. We’re actually spending Christmas as a family.
Azusa: Exactly...
Kou: Me too! Food tastes so much better when you get to enjoy it without being upset!
Yui: ( I didn’t think it would be so fun to spend time with everyone like this. )
( Huh...? I just thought ‘fun’... )
( Right. At some point, the time I spend with the Mukami family must have grown dear to me... )
Kou: What are you grinning for?
Yui: Um...This may sound strange, but I thought it’s fun to spend time with you guys.
Azusa: ...If you’re happy...then so am I.
Ruki: I thought you were an odd human, but you’ve exceeded that point...You are basically being held hostage after all. 
Yui: Right. I know it’s weird but...
Kou: You’re really living up to your name~ Although that’s exactly what makes you cute!
Yuma: Heh...If we ever hold a Christmas party again, ya better help out too. 
No way in hell I’m wastin’ my time makin’ some cake, so I’ll leave my fruits in yer hands.
Also, we need someone to make the cookies.
Yui: Thank you...! I better practice a bunch in preparation for that day!
Ruki: Let’s leave it at that. The food we worked so hard on will get cold.
Kou: Ah, Azusa-kun you’re adding spices again~ You shouldn’t ruin the taste of the food. 
Azusa: ...Just a sprinkle. I want to make this an even more fun experience...
Ruki: Haah...Can’t you guys at least enjoy a meal in silence?
Kou: But this is what suits us best, don’t you think?
Yuma: It’d be kind of creepy if things were all quiet.
Ruki: ...Right. I suppose this is quite tame for a Vampire’s holy night.
Yui: ( I’m truly glad I was able to have such a fun Christmas... )
( I wish I’ll be able to experience this sight once more somedayーー )

Capp Manor - Day 2
Tumblr media
Since it’s a Sunday, Consort thought it would be nice to invite the entire Capp family over (sans Ariel because you can’t invite toddlers in TS2).
Cornwall: Regan dear? Can you give me a call? I want to hear your voice.
Um, you know you could just walk up and talk to her, right?
Tumblr media
Miranda was especially excited for the visit.
Miranda: I can’t wait to tell Juliette and Hermia about my kiss with Mercutio. Maybe we could triple date sometime?
I think it would be better to wait on that, at least until Mercutio stops kicking over trashcans and stealing papers.
Tumblr media
The first thing Albany does once Consort welcomes him into his home is gossip about Isabella Monty.
Albany: Consort, my good chum, have you heard the latest news about Isabella Monty? Consort: No, I have not... Albany: Well...saw her walking over on our side of the canal. What on earth is she doing on our side? Consort: Honestly I have no idea.
Tumblr media
Albany: Well, whatever it is, I bet she’s up to no good. Consort: Agreed. It’s best if we get someone to keep an eye on her. Kent: You two need to get a life.
Tumblr media
Goneril begs to differ, Kent.
Goneril: Albany, darling, I think you’re doing quite well taking charge of this situation. You know, you’re quite handsome when you’re confident. Albany: Many thanks, Goneril. I will admit though that the mustache does help a little. Goneril: Oh yes, of course. Kent: For the love of god, I can’t catch a break from all this mushy stuff, huh?
Tumblr media
Unfortunately for Kent, Cornwall heard his little quip and took offense.
Cornwall: What did you just say about me and my lovely wife? Kent: I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about Albany and Goneril for once. Cornwall: But the implication was there, was it not? Kent: Yeah...and? Cornwall: You’re just jealous that your sisters have such wonderful husbands when you can’t be arsed to find a wife. Kent: Who said anything about me looking for a wife? Cornwall: Exactly!
Tumblr media
Continuing the theme of people who don’t get along, Juliette and Tybalt are still at one another’s throats.
Tybalt: I heard you cheering on Monty during that last scuffle, sis! Juliette: Your point? Tybalt: I want you to stop!
Tumblr media
Juliette: I’ll stop when you stop looking and acting like a tool all the time.
Tumblr media
Tybalt: WAAH! My little sister’s a bitch! Juliette: Grandfather? Please tell my loser of a brother that I am not just a bitch, I’m a Head-Bitch-In-Charge. Consort: Oh Tessie, why did you leave me with these two? They’re always making a ruckus over one thing or another.
Tumblr media
You know how I mentioned that Mercutio’s pissed off enough to steal papers, I wasn’t lying. Cornwall and Kent were both offended enough by his thievery to join Regan in yelling at him.
Mercutio: This is for being a hard-hearted wench, Hermia! Regan, Cornwall, and Kent: DROP THE NEWSPAPER BEFORE WE CALL THE COPS!
Tumblr media
But once Mercutio was gone, the poking resumed.
Kent: Stop poking me all the time, Asshole! Cornwall: Maybe you would get your point across better if you didn’t just poke me, Deadbeat! Regan: Goodness, both of you! This is really getting old.
Tumblr media
Luckily, Cornwall and Kent stopped poking each other long enough for Cornwall to join Tybalt for a smustle. Regan was impressed with what she saw.
Regan: Oh Corny! Shake those hips! Cornwall: How is this, my love? Regan: Perfect! Tybalt: Just keep smustling, Tybalt. Don’t listen to your embarrassing aunt and uncle.
Tumblr media
Cornwall managed to stop smustling long enough to join his wife at the dining table. Unfortunately their lunch was delayed by some drama in the kitchen.
Cornwall: Hermia? You just ran out of the kitchen like a private jet. What is happening in there? Hermia: They’re fighting again, and it’s bad. Miranda: Oh, this I gotta see!
Tumblr media
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Tybalt and Juliette have finally had enough of each other.
Miranda: Oh god, Juliette! How could your brother be cruel enough to attack you! Tybalt: She attacked me first! Juliette: Shut up before I high-five your face! Tybalt: Not if I high-five your’s first! Consort: For the love of god! I’m trying to cook here!
Tumblr media
Predictably, Tybalt and his ten body skill points won. 
Tybalt: Eat tile, Sis! Miranda: Juliette, are you okay? Juliette: I’m fine, just a little pissed off. Consort: Goodness, it’s times like this when I wish I was dead.
Tumblr media
Tybalt: Good job, Sis. Now Grandfather wants to die and it’s all your fault! Juliette: Shut up and stop being so overdramatic! Tybalt: Who the hell are you calling overdramatic, you overdramatic str-- Juliette: That’s it, Brother! Once I take over you’re on your own!
Tumblr media
Goneril and Albany missed the whole thing. Though, I don’t think either of them would mind that much.
Goneril: Have I mentioned how manly you look with your mustache, Albany? Albany: Why thank you, Gon Gon. Does this mean we can have another child? Goneril: I’ll think about it since you’ve been a good boy today, but it will have to wait until Ariel gets a little older. I don’t know about you, but I am far too tired to be intimate as of late. Albany: Agreed.
Tumblr media
While the drama in the kitchen is done with, Cornwall and Kent decided it would be fun to start up round two in the dining room.
Cornwall: Ow! What the hell?! Kent: That’s what you get for calling me a weenie! Consort: You are a weenie, though. You’re in your early thirties and you’re still unemployed. Kent: And whose fault is that, Father? Cornwall: Your’s because you sucked at your job. Kent: Butt out, Cornwall, this is between me and my old man. Regan: What in the world are you three going on about now? Miranda: Beats me.
Tumblr media
Regan: Really? A sandwich? I’m eating for two, and you’re going to serve me a sandwich, with lunch meat? Hermia: Good god, Aunt Regan, it’s not that bad. No offense, but your pretentiousness reeks. Regan: Oh Hermia, you’re so clever, yet understand so little. Tell my Corny that I’m going home to eat some of Kent’s leftover pancakes.
Tumblr media
While that conversation was going on, Albany and Miranda became best friends.
Albany: Oh yes, that young chap you brought over the house the other day was delightful. I hope he’ll come to visit again soon. Miranda: Sure thing, Father, I’ll invite him over next time he’s free.
Tumblr media
Hermia’s day hasn’t exactly been the best. First, her brother and sister can’t stand one another and start fighting in the kitchen. Second, she got into a bit of an argument with her aunt that, in her eyes, was a long time coming. Now her cousin won’t dance with her.
Tumblr media
Cornwall: I thought my Regan was sitting here, where has she gone? Hermia: She was so offended that Grandfather served her a lunch meat sandwich that she left. Cornwall: Oh, my poor wife. How could her father serve her such a basic meal in her condition? Hermia: Good god, Uncle Kent was right, the two of you can be absolutely nauseating sometimes.
Tumblr media
After spending the day making sandwiches for his family, Consort thought it would be a good time for a bathroom break.
Consort: Miranda? May I please have some privacy while I’m on the pot? Miranda: Hate to break it to you, Grandfather, but there’s no such thing as privacy in my house.
Tumblr media
As the number of guests dwindled, the number of people who could keep Tybalt and Juliette from fighting did as well.
Tybalt: Aunt Goneril! She’s being mean to me! Juliette: Oh don’t even start trying to play the victim, Brother. It’s not going to work, Aunt Goneril clearly likes me better. Goneril: Poor Cordelia is probably rolling around in her grave right about now.
Tumblr media
Tybalt: That’s not true! Juliette: Yes it is! The only person who genuinely likes you is Grandfather, and once he kicks the bucket, you’ll have no one! Goneril: I’ve never been more proud of my own children in my entire life.
Tumblr media
Once the rest of the extended family left, the ghosts of Julius Caesar and Scribonia Capp decided it was time to come out and haunt the grounds.
Scribonia: I know for a fact that a man running our company is not what my mother had in mind when she started Capp & Daughters all those years ago! Oh why did my poor Contessa have to die so young? Julius: Has anybody seen my son?! Scribonia: I’m standing right next to him, Caesar!
Tumblr media
Poor Tybalt, even the ghosts of his ancestors don’t like him.
Julius: That great-great grandson of mine has a lot of nerve walking around in my son’s old suit. Scribonia: Thank goodness my daughter had the brains to make sure that her business would eventually pass to one of her granddaughters. That great-grandson of mine would bankrupt us, I’m sure of it!
Tumblr media
Mercutio seems to agree with the ghosts, because he ended up kicking the trashcan over while I wasn’t looking.
Consort: Damn Montys and their can kicking ways.
Tumblr media
And finally, Tybalt’s early morning bathroom run was delayed when Hermia decided to spend some extra time in front of the mirror.
Tybalt: Herms? Can you get out, I gotta pee! Hermia: What was that? I can’t hear you! I’m too enamored by my own sexiness! Tybalt: HERMMMMMMS!?
That’s it for the Capp Manor. See you guys next time at the Monty Ranch.
