A/N: After coming across this post, I was hit with a flashback on an older fic I wrote 3 years ago that I didn't post on here.
Well technically I did post it on my fanfic sideblog but tbh that place kinda ded so...
Anywhoooo!
Have this oldie but goodie. I still have that one unfinished draft I need to post; hope I'll get that one done soon... 🤞🏾
"O-ow!", I winced as I felt something pinching my ear. Except it wasn't a pinch. It was my mischievous boyfriend of mine nipping on my ear.
"You were sleeping again.", Tokiya teased as he pecked the spot that he bit.
"N-no, I was...meditating, that's all."
I had gotten my hair washed earlier and the next step was to blow dry my untamable mane before straightening it. With the new hairdryer brush I got, I'd be able to get both tasks done in no time. Thanks to some help from Tokiya, the process went by a little quicker.
"If you want to take a nap, you can. I will wake you up once I'm finished.", he explained as he brushed through another section of hair. Moisturized, of course.
"You know, you didn't really have to go through all of this trouble. I can't even do my hair at my age. Embarrassing, right?", I joked, hoping that he wouldn't hear over the blaring noise of the electrical brush. But I was wrong.
"Nonsense, my love. It's no trouble at all. Besides, I'm more than happy to help if it means I get to show off how beautiful my girlfriend is."
I soon winced. Not from the brush's heat- from Tokiya's sudden compliment drop.
"Once again, you're the worst.", I scoffed, ignoring his small chuckles at my flustered self as he continued brushing out my hair.

Everyone, OtoyasLycoris on Twitter drew this adorable picture of Tokiya and I as a part of a Yume Secret Santa. Isn't it the cutest? ^^
Definitely very bittersweet ever since Shining Live closed a few days ago...Man the international fanbase really deserves better...

“Did I do good today, Toki?”
“Yes, you did well, my love- as you do each and every day. Now, get some sleep. A new day will be awaiting us tomorrow.”

The wedding picrew was unintentional, honest! Just found it lying around in my files from a while ago. I’m not hinting at anything, so don’t get any ideas! 😤
Although, a spring/winter fairy fusion wedding does sound pretty unique...

Enjoy this little drabble until I get my other junk in my drafts done. XD Got this idea while I was getting my hair done yesterday.
"O-ow!", I winced as I felt something pinching my ear. Except it wasn't a pinch. It was my mischievous boyfriend of mine nipping on my ear.
"You were sleeping again.", Tokiya teased as he pecked the spot that he bit.
"N-no, I was...meditating, that's all."

Dreaming Of You
Just a little Yumejoshi!AU drabble. ^^
Jk, we all know it's not a drabble- given how much of a writer fanatic I am. XD
After a long day of work, Tokiya was so relieved to finally be home. Even though he had a packed schedule, he didn’t quite feel tired. There was still much work to be done, even in his personal life. 
Until he was ready to doze off, Tokiya busies himself with chores and preparing himself a small dinner. Once he finished with his meal, he pampered himself with a long bath before changing into his sleepwear.
As Tokiya laid down on his bed, he felt his eyes shift over to something on his nightstand. His heart lightly bounded as he eyed the “Lady Crystal” figurine staring back at him.
Why did I even buy this?, Tokiya scoffed to himself, sitting back up and grasping the item in his hands.
He thought back to the time he was doing some shopping when he suddenly came across the merchandise rack for the popular show. 
Tokiya mentally told himself not to waste his money on such nonsense. But, he couldn't help himself and quickly snatched one of the figurines of the shelves.
The figurine featured the character in her magical form, with her frills and twists a brilliant shade of purple. A joyful smile was stretched across her face as she proudly held onto her now extended magical fountain pen. The base was decorated with magical runes, a soft purple glow now emitting from it.
Tokiya’s annoyed expression soon softened as his cheeks became dusted with red. Seeing the girl smiling back at him filled his heart with joy.
After doing some reflection, he didn't regret buying the figurine. He loved Crystal, after all. Why not show some appreciation to the girl that inspired him so much?
"Do you have any idea how happy you make me?", Tokiya beamed, lightly kissing his fingertips before pressing them against Crystal's tiny lips.
He lightly chuckled to himself before crawling under the covers and drifting off to sleep.
~*~
Clouds.
Tokiya awoke to him laying on a bed of clouds. A parade of shining stars danced about in the midnight blue sky. 
The atmosphere was calming, which was helpful on his end, because it relieved his tension and worry of falling. 
A wave of nostalgia flew over him as he quickly realized where he was.
Ah, I must’ve been summoned to the world of Sweet Dreams. I wasn’t expecting such a hasty return. I wonder why though?, Tokiya wondered to himself as he scanned the area around him.
“You’re here. I’m really happy to finally get to see you.”, a mysterious and sudden voice spoke out.
Startled, Tokiya jumped, unaware that someone else was here. In a split second, a ball of purple light flew across his face before it settled on an adjacent cloud. 
Tokiya stared in awe as the light slowly morphed into the shape of a girl. It quickly dawned on Tokiya that he was face to face with the girl of his dreams.
“It’s you...”, the idol’s eyes sparkled as Lady Crystal appeared before him. Embarrassed, Crystal turned away, timidly fidgeting with her fingers.
“Oh, wow. You’re a lot more handsome than I thought you were.”, she mumbled under her breath.
“I’m flattered. But, I should be the one to share the compliments.”
“Pfft, wait until you see without my- Shoot! I shouldn’t have said! Forget I ever said that.”
But it was too late. Now Tokiya was curious.
“If you don’t mind, will you...detransform for me? I...I don’t get to see the real you all that much.”, he asked inquisitively. 
“No, I don’t think you’ll like what you see. The real me’s a little penny compared to this diamond you’re admired right now.”, Crystal teased, lightly itching her chin.
“Don’t say that. You’re beautiful.”, Tokiya quickly fired back, causing the magical girl to lightly jump.
Tokiya was quite shocked to hear such a self deprecating comment, especially with that joking tone in Crystal’s voice. He wondered why she was putting herself down like that.
“Relax, Tokiya. It’s not like I just called myself “ugly” or anything. I don’t hate myself that much, haha. Besides, you’re clearly going to outshine plain ol’ me as soon as I change back.”
“That’s enough.”
Crystal’s heart lightly thumped at Tokiya’s sharp comeback. She avoided his eyes, a stern gleam visible in them. 
“I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but, I can’t stand to hear you put yourself down like this.”
“I-I’m sorry. It’s just...”, the magical girl’s words quickly trailed off as she began to twiddle with her feet.
As he took in a deep breath, Tokiya gently scooped Crystal’s hands into his. Alarmed yet still uneasy, she kept her focus on the tight grip on her hands.
“Listen to me. I mean this with every fiber of my being. You’re absolutely stunning, and that’s the whole truth. Why do you think I fell for you?”
Floored by Tokiya’s declaration, Crystal felt her eyes begin to fill up with the tears. She quickly blinked to dispose of them, but, Tokiya immediately took notice of it.
He calmly smiled as he wiped away the remaining droplets with the back of his hand. The girl’s face lit up as she timidly gazed in to Tokiya’s calming eyes.
“I...I really am so sorry. It’s just...I don’t really have a lot of confidence regarding my physical appearance. I look in the mirror and just think about how plain I look. It’s not just my face I’m self conscious about- it’s my whole body. I just...”
The idol put a stop to Crystal’s rambling by lightly pressing his finger against her lips.
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Even with all of your flaws, I won’t them let stop me from loving you. There’s so much more to you than what you see as imperfect. Don’t let your insecurities shadow over what makes you so special...to me.”
A sudden burst of purple light blocked Tokiya’s view of Crystal. He quickly shielded his eyes as to not blind himself from its bright glare. Once the light faded, Tokiya removed his hands and felt his eyes wide at what he saw.
Rather than wearing her magical attire, Crystal had on a white-and-red sleevess pajama top and colorful shorts. Around her neck was her transformation device, a small white key pendant with iridescent flakes. Her purple, back length braids were replaced by those of dark brown ones with a shorter length.
Crystal once again avoided eye contact as she played with her glasses, which were crookedly hung onto her shirt’s collar. 
“Sorry for the sudden change. I just figured it’d only be fair that you got to see me without my costume. So, what do you think?”, she sheepishly spoke in a hushed tone.
Without answering, Tokiya grabbed onto Crystal’s arm and pulled her closer to him. Her face burned hot as the idol softly planted his lips against hers. 
As he pulled away, Tokiya felt Crystal’s shocked eyes on him. He scratched the back of his neck as his cheeks turned red.
“I apologize for doing that without asking. I...couldn’t help myself. It’ll sound silly, but, your beauty overpowered me and I just had to go for it. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”, Tokiya excused himself.
Crystal couldn’t help herself but crack a smile. How could she not be ecstatic over the fact that her crush just kissed her?
“Could you do that again? Just so I can remember it after I wake up?”, she beamed, her heart beating gleefully in her chest.
A chuckle and nod was Tokiya’s only response as he lightly cupped her face into his palm. As they tenderly kissed, a flurry of stars spun around the couple. 
Tokiya couldn’t be more delightfully about this dream. Being here with the girl he adored so much was all that he could ever ask for. Although it would be nothing more than just a silly fantasy when he wakes up, Tokiya will be sure to hang out to it for a long time.

#YumeWeek 2020-Day 1: First
Decided to take part in #YumeWeek2020 on Twitter because why not?! XD
I had trouble deciding on a theme until playing around with the WhatsMock app gave me an idea. 😊💡
I couldn’t control my shaky hands as my finger hovered over the call button. 
C’mon, Crystal. This shouldn’t be so hard!, I tried to motivate myself, but the nervousness still lingered.
Tokiya fell ill with a cold, so he didn’t come to work for a few days. So, I figured it’d be nice to check up on him during my break.
How is that we’ve been dating for about a year now, but I’m still nervous to call him on WhatsApp?!
Getting too frustrated with myself, I quickly pressed the Call button and held the phone to my ear.
To my surprise-but also not-it didn’t take long for Tokiya to answer the phone.
“Hello?”, his oh-so husky voice finally spoke.
“H-hey. H-how are you f-feeling?”, I stuttered, my underarms starting to dampen with sweat. Ew.
“I’m getting there. I’ve been taking medicine and drinking plenty of fluids. I’m not 100% better, but, I’m positive my recovery will come quickly.”
“O-oh, that’s good to hear. I hope you’ll come back to work soon.”
“Oh, and why is that? Did you miss me?”
My heart pounded in my chest once he said that. Sheesh, what a tease.
“N-no way. I have my friends here, so, I’m fine.”, I fibbed through the phone, hopefully not coming off too bare-faced.
There was a brief pause before I heard a beeping in my ear. Startled, I moved to phone to face only to get puzzled at the request to switch to a video call.
“W-what are you doing?!”, I shrieked, digging my nails into my pants.
“Just do it.”, Tokiya responded with a light chuckle.
Just great, I huffed as I accepted the request. Once the video call began, Tokiya’s handsome face filled the screen. From what I could tell, he was lying on his bed, his legs swinging in the air. I couldn’t stand that sly smirk of this- I hate it when he does that.
“Hehe, do you feel less lonely now?”
“Oh my god, I’m swooning.”, I scoffed, rolling my eyes. But, deep down, I missed him. What I would do to feel those lips of his on mine again. Hell, I don’t care if I get sick in the process- it’d be so worth it.
“Have you eaten lunch yet?”, he changed the subject, and as he asked that, my stomach rumbled. “I suppose that answers my question.”
“Yeah, I was just really eager to call you.”
“Well, I won’t get in your way then. Enjoy the rest of your break.”, Tokiya then prompted to end the call when I blurted-
“W-wait, don’t end the call so soon- we just started. I...It’s really nice to see your face again. It’s...honestly kind of refreshing.”
“That’s very sweet of you, Crystal-san. But, I wouldn’t you to starve yourself just to have a longer conversation with me. No need to worry though- I will call whenever I have the chance to during your break.”
“I’d really like that, actually. Thanks. Ok, I’ll talk to you later.”
After saying our goodbyes, Tokiya surprised me by pressing his lips against his phone screen. I sat there dumbfounded as he gave me a teasing wink before ending the video call.
I’m never doing another video call with Tokiya again, my flustered self made a mental note as I got ready to eat my lunch.

#YumeWeek 2020- Day 6: Sorry
Who’s ready for feels? No one? Same but too bad! Listening to FEMM’s Unbreakable definitely got me into the mood for this.
If I had a dollar every time Tokiya talked down on himself and his career, I’d give it all away.
I’m probably sounding picky, but I really hate it when he doubts his abilities all the time.
“Although I appreciate all of your kind words, I don’t consider myself all that talented. I still have a long way to go and much to improve.”, he told me the other day after I praised him for his singing.
It really hurt hearing him put himself down like that. While understandable, it just didn't feel right for him to comment so negatively on himself.
Tokiya’s always done so much for me, so I’d figured I should do something for him.
“Tokiya, I wish you wouldn’t say those things about yourself.”, I turned to face Tokiya, who was calmly reading on the couch next to me.
“Are you talking about yesterday? I apologize if it upset you. Just some simple criticism is all.”, he looked up, noting my nervous expression.
“Criticism? Are you sure? Because to me, it sounds like you’re just bringing yourself down. Of course, I’m not the one to determine your feelings and all. But, I really don’t like it when you put yourself down like that.”
Tokiya fell silent as we gazed into each other’s eyes. I could see that he was hurt, even though he wasn’t really displaying it. I don’t exactly know what came over me, but I just started pouring out my feelings.
“Do you know how much you inspire me? How much your songs uplift me? Every time I play your songs, I feel so much better about myself. I want to scream out of my window and just let the entire world know how much I love your songs!”
“Crystal-san, I-”, he began, suddenly interrupted by my tight embrace.
“I can’t relate to how you’re feeling regarding your career. You shouldn’t have to apologize for not having a lot of confidence in your abilities. But, you’ve come such a long way and you should be proud of what you’ve accomplished. You let everyone see who you really are. You’ve found people who always have your back through thick and thin. You should feel so good about yourself for that.”
I pulled away so I could face him again. I gently held his face in my hand; his eyes were filled with a flurry of emotions. Lostness. Nervousness. Even a glimmer of sadness.
“I know I can’t be able to understand everything, But, just know that I’m here for you. I want you to be happy with your music. No, I want you to be happy with yourself. Because who you are is already perfect- in my books, at least. Even if you mess up and make mistakes, it’s going to get better. I promise I’ll always be by your side no matter what.”
As I leaned in to kiss his forehead, I noticed that Tokiya squeezed his eyes shut for a moment. Was he trying to hide his tears? Regardless, I could tell that he took my words to heart since he was firmly gripping onto my waist.
“Thank you, my love. I promise that I won’t let you down. I really am so grateful to have you in my life. But, don’t forget that you’re also very important to me. I want to be here for you as well.”, he beamed, pulling me back into the warming hug.

#YumeWeek 2020- Day 7: Free
Woot woot! At last, the (very late) conclusion to #YumeWeek2020! 🎉🎉🎉
I had a lot of fun writing this fics, but I’m unsure if I’ll take part in these whole themed week events again. It’s kind of exhausting having to come up with a storyline based off of the prompts being given.
But, I will say that I had a lot of fun writing this one. Yes, I know Halloween was months ago, but let me self indulgent ‘cause I finally get to live out my dreams of becoming a sultry spooky scary skeleton big titty goth demon gf...minus the big titties...
Ah, it's so chilly...
A little too chilly...
Wait, Is that wind I hear? And what is that smell?
Hang on a second, I think I know what’s going on here.
I slowly opened my eyes to get a better idea of the situation. To my confusion, I was in a small town, the sun setting as twilight was arriving.
As my eyes shifted to the ground, I quickly took notice of the chalk drawing underneath me and the candles emitting fresh smoke. It didn't take long for me to draw a conclusion once I had all the clues.
"Who dares summon me to this ridiculous world? I'll have you know that you're making a big mistake. Besides, I was going to have a relaxing nap.", I boldly shouted, hoping it would catch the mastermind off guard.
"That...would be me. I apologize for the disturbance.", a sudden yet melodious voice sounded.
Looking up, I came face-to-face with a human male, his hair a dark blue. He swiftly bowed before offering his hand to shake.
"My name is Tokiya Ichinose. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"The same on my end. You can call me...Crystal. I feel quite honored to be summoned by such a handsome human.", I lightly chuckled, shaking his hand. His face went red at my compliment.
"H-handsome? You think so? N-nevermind that. I have summoned you because I require your help."
I lightly flapped my wings inquisitively. Gazing at all the festive decorations, I already had an idea about Tokiya's request.
"I suppose this has something to do with this...Halloween celebration, correct?", I smirked, my tail lightly wagging.
"Y-you are correct. I'm surprised you could deduct that.", Tokiya nodded in shock. "I'm afraid I can't get into the Halloween mood, unlike my next-door neighbors. So, I figured some help from a demon might the remedy I need. So, I would like to form a contract with you."
Tempted by the offer, I slowly walked towards him, a confident smile on my face.
Tokiya took a few steps back, but I used my tail to stop him from going too far.
"Then I'd be more than happy to take up that offer. Besides, a demon girl could use a little excitement in her life. I need a refresher from all of those other boring requests. So, what's my first order of business, Master?", I smugly grinned at him, gently grazing my claws against his chest.
Tokiya stared back at me nervously before a bold gleam shone in his eyes. That can't be good...
Out of nowhere, an arm slid around my waist, pulling me even closer to Tokiya.
"W-what...are you?", I felt myself getting hot as he slid his hand under my chin, our eyes immediately making contact.
"Master, huh? I think I might get used to that.", Tokiya quietly whispered in my ear, smirking at my flustered self.
He then quickly released me and handed me a basket full of various sweets.
"Now then, how about you help me hand out these candies to some trick-or-treaters?"
As I angrily snatched the basket, I grumbled, "Hmph, you have some nerve to embarrass me like that. Very well, then. I'll take part in this ridiculous activity."
Looks like I’ll have to get used to my new Master’s mannerisms...

Do I Have A Secret Santa?
All of these Secret Santa events have me in a giddy mood so take this drabble. XD
Also it snowed earlier so yay. ^^
“Aaaand, it’s all done.”, Crystal smiled contently at her computer screen. She had just finished a Secret Santa present and was quite proud of it. After doing a final check for any errors, she saved and then switched to another screen.
"I love that look in your eyes. That joyful little twinkle whenever you do something that makes you happy.", Tokiya walked over to the girl, giving her shoulders a light squeeze.
"Well, this is my first time taking part in a Secret Santa event, so, I'm pretty excited about it. I do hope that the giftee likes it."
"I'm sure they'll appreciate it, my love. You put a lot of effort into the gift, so I know it will get paid off in the end."
Tokiya went quiet for a moment before he blurted-
"I'll admit I feel a little jealous. It's a shame that I don't have a Secret Santa."
"What? That's not true! I'm pretty sure someone would love to get you something special for Christmas.", Crystal retorted back, immediately jumping out of her seat in shock.
Tokiya's sudden chuckling made Crystal confused. Did he realize something? Perhaps he did. Out of the blue, the girl found herself wrapped in his arms.
"I was just kidding. Why fuss over a Secret Santa when I already have you?", the idol slyly whispered before planting his lips on hers.
"Ugh, you're so mean.", Crystal scoffed, quickly turning away from her boyfriend.

#YumeWeek 2020-Day 2: Flowers
“What?! How could I lose again?!”, I grunted, tossing the petalless daisy on the floor.
I don’t know why or how, but I’ve been obsessing over the “Loves Me, Loves Me Not” flower game. Ok, maybe I do know why I’m hooked. 
I was looking back on all of those silly love meter games I used to play when I was younger. Man, will I miss those sites once Flash is gone. But that’s beside the point.
I was preparing for a photo shoot when I saw a bag filled with extra faux flowers. I guess the thought of those games inspired me to pick up one and start playing the game.
I’ve tried about 3 attempts, with a fail every time. As I picked up another one, I was surprised by someone’s hand on mine.
“What are you doing, Crystal-san?”, Tokiya asked, gently slipping the flower out of my hand.
“Getting frustrated over a silly fortune-telling game with flowers.”, I grumbled, staring at the scattered petals on the floor.
“Ah, and any luck?”
“Pfft, no. This flower’s probably something against me.”
“Haha, I don’t think that’s the case. Here, let me try.”
Tokiya then plucked on a petal, the corner of his mouth turning upwards.
“I love you a little.”, he softly spoke under his breath as presses his lips on my fingertips.
“W-what are you-?!”, I shrieked, only to freeze up by a sudden kiss on my hand.
“I love you a lot.” There went another petal falling on the ground and the many others that followed.
The kisses traveled up my arm as he continued the petal plucking. I shivered under his touch as he pulled me closer to him.
“I love you passionately.”, his breath exhaled on my neck, kisses beginning to shower it.
“Ah...”, I softly moaned, my heart racing intensely.
“I love you...to madness.” Then his eyes fell upon my lips.
I couldn’t resist- I too loved him to madness. Only he makes me feel this way about someone.
I slowly shut my eyes, and I succumbed to the madness. Our lips met, and all felt so right.
Until our loving moment was oh-so rudely interrupted.
“You fools. This is a place of business, so, I’d suggest you two continue your merriments somewhere in private.”, Camus pushed us away from each other, an annoyed gleam in his eyes.
We sheepishly apologized before he walked off. After I calmed my beating heart, I picked up the petals off of the floor. I was trying my hardest to pretend that occurrence didn’t happen. However, Tokiya made it impossible.
“Camus made a point though.”, he chuckled in my ear. Startled, I looked up, only to feel a petal brush against my lips. Tokiya then winked at me before walking off.
You really know how to make me go crazy, don’t you, Mr. Ichinose?, I rolled my eyes as I threw away the petals and then got ready for the shoot.

A Confession To Make
In the mood for a confession fic, so, let’s do it! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Feels weird writing in 1st (first) person POV though...That’s something I’ll have to get used to... (ㆆ_ㆆ)
«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»
“Thanks for walking me home, Tokiya. You really didn’t have to go through all of this for me.”, I stated, kicking away at a small pebble.
“It’s no trouble at all. Someone has to look after you, after all.”, he replied, calmly strolling beside me.
Why do I always feel the need to thank him? He’s been doing this for a few weeks now. I don’t know- I suppose it’s just the nice thing to do. C’mon, Crystal, get yourself together!
As we quietly headed en route to my apartment, I couldn’t help but reflect on everything that went on ever since I set foot in Japan.
I honestly don’t know how all of this even happened. I came to Shining Productions solely for work experience and to learn some Japanese too.
But nope! Here comes this beautiful hunk ruining all my plans! Falling in love at first sight was something I wasn’t expecting at all.
It would just be foolish of me to not say anything. Besides, who knows what could happen to me tomorrow? But what if he doesn’t feel the same way? Well, I guess there’s no harm in asking, right?
“H-hey, Tokiya. Can I ask you something?”, I mumbled as my heart began to thump in my chest.
“Of course, anytime.”
“W-well, is there anyone, you know, like? Anyone you’re interested in at the agency?”
I heard him chuckle before he answered, “Well, I like everyone. Why?”
“No, no! Not like that! I meant to ask...is there anyone you, like, have feelings for? Like, romantically?”
God, stop saying “like”! He’s going to catch on eventually if you keep that up.
As we continued our walk, I gazed up at Tokiya, his face almost as red as Otoya’s hair.
“W-what are you- I don’t know where you’re getting at, Crystal-san. Why would you ask me something like that?”, he gulped while he played with his hair.
“W-well, since we are friends, I figured we might as well tell each some of our secrets, right?”, I nervously chuckled, scratching my head anxiously.
The stroll continued in silence. Couldn’t say I was surprised- that was a daring question to ask. I kinda felt like I messed up, but I was proven wrong when he responded-
“Yes. There...there is someone I have feelings for.”
Oh. My. God! No, wait! Stop getting your hopes up! You don’t know what he’s going to say!
“O-oh! That’s-that’s interesting! So, who is it then?”, I stuttered, an awkward smile plastered on my face.
“Why don’t you take a guess?”, Tokiya smirked, a devious gleam in his eyes.
Damn it, he’s not going straight to the point! Guess I’ll just have to play along with him until he’s ready to say something...
“Is it Haruka? I honestly think you two would make a great couple. I mean, you’re always so nice to her and she looks so happy whenever you’re together.”, I fumbled, discreetly crossing my fingers in my hoodie pocket.
To my surprise, Tokiya shook his head.
“Nanami-san is beautiful, and I do admire her. But she’s not the one I’m thinking about.”, he replied as he adjusted his glasses.
I opened my mouth to speak but he stopped me before I could say anything-
“It’s not Shibuya-san either.”
Seeing my dumbfounded expression, Tokiya had the nerve to laugh while my brain was a fuddled mess.
Once we finally reached my apartment, I thanked Tokiya once more for accompanying me as I pulled out my keys from my bag.
“Crystal-san wait!”, he suddenly spoke out loud. Startled, I looked up at him, the redness returning to his cheeks.
After taking in a deep breath, he continued with what he had to say.
“You’re right. Trust is important in a friendship and I can tell you’re a very reliable person. With that being said, I think I’m ready to tell you who I have feelings for.”
“Oh, really? Well, alright. Who is it?!”, I exclaimed in a little too enthusiastic tone. 
“I’ll whisper it in your ear.”
My heart started pounding as Tokiya leaned down next to me. He was close I could pick up the fading scent of his cologne. To my surprise, he hasn’t said anything.
“Umm, Tokiya. Aren’t you going to tell me who you-”, I began to ask before the unexpected happened next.
 In a matter of swift seconds, I felt his lips brush up against mine. I stood there motionless as I enveloped his warmth. 
As he slowly pulled away, I couldn’t help but hold my hand over mouth in shock. His eyes had a softness to them while he looked back at me. I don’t know what came over in that moment, but, I felt tears dripping down my cheeks.
“I-I’m so sorry. I just...I never actually thought about you feeling the same way. I wasn’t supposed to get so invested in you, but I did anyways. It doesn’t help that this is the first time I’ve ever felt this way about anyone.”, I choked, unable to control my sobbing any longer.
I felt Tokiya’s hands wrapped around me as I was suddenly pulled into a hug. Being his presence definitely helped to calm me down.
“If I may ask, how long have you been having feelings for me?”, Tokiya asked, as he gently twirled my twists around his fingers.
“Honestly? Since Day 1. I know it sound really ridiculous but-”
“Funny since I was going to say it was the same on my end.”
I felt myself freeze up for a few seconds before I timidly made eye contact with Tokiya. Good god, he has such gorgeous eyes.
“You...you mean that?”, I asked in a shaky voice. His sole response was a single nod.
“I knew from the first time I ever laid my eyes on you. I can’t exactly explain what made me fall for you. You could say it was just a little bit of everything.”, he continued, softly grinning.
His pale hand gently caressed my cheek, and I didn’t hesitate to hold it in mine. I couldn’t help but feel relieved for not bottling up my emotions until it was too late. Tokiya’s presence also felt calming and made all of my doubts lift off of my shoulders.
“As I much as I would like to stay, I’m afraid I have somewhere I need to be heading off to.”, Tokiya softly whispered in my ear before retracting his hand from my face.
Seeing my now disappointed expression, he gently clasped my hand in his and brought it to his lips. Heat rose to my cheeks as he lightly kissed my knuckles.
“Until then, I’ll be seeing you tomorrow, my princess.”
He then slowly withdrew our enclasped hands before heading back on the same route he traveled from. I stood in front of the door in bewilderment, gazing at Tokiya’s back as he strode away.
A bunch of questions flurried around in my head, despite the dazed expression on my face. However, one question stood out from all the rest:
So, where do we go from here?

#YumeWeek2020- Day 5: Fate
Ugh, I’m so late- I’m sorry!!! 😫🙏🏾
“Hey Tokiya, can I ask you something?”, I turned to face him while I sat at my computer desk.
“Hm, what is it?”, he asks, curious by what I have to say.
“Do you...by chance remember the first time we met?”
His eyes lit up once I brought up the topic. “Ah, how could I forget? I remember how nervous you looked.”
“Bad first impression, huh?”, I chuckled in embarrassment, scratching the pimple on my right cheek.
“No, not at all. I especially recall how you’d type out your thoughts on your phone and let me read them. I thought it was quite adorable.”, he beamed.
“A-adorable?!”
Being a foreigner in another country wasn’t an easy experience. No matter where I went, I just felt so out of place. My Japanese was limited and I always let my nerves get the best of me whenever I spoke it around people.
But, deep down, I knew that looking intimidated wouldn’t get me very far at my new job. So, I had to do my best to make a good impression.
“Hehe, indeed. You looked really nervous when we finally got acquainted. In fact, I think I remember seeing your hand shaking whenever I tried to converse with you.”, he scoots over in his swivel chair to get closer to me.
“Ugh, don’t remind me! I probably made a bad first impression, didn’t I?”, I sighed, holding my head in my hands in embarrassment.
Tokiya then gently moved my hands from my face and gently squeezed them in his.
“If that really was the case, I wouldn’t be dating you now, would I?”, he replied with a wink as he pressed his forehead against mine.
It took a few seconds for me to conclude what he meant by that. But, as soon as it dawned on me, I quickly backed away, even more embarrassed than before.
“You’re the worst! You’re nothing like the Tokiya from our first encounter!”, I hmphed, folding my arms across my chest.
“I love you too.”, Tokiya joked, chuckling at my flustered self. “But, on a serious note, you really have changed my life when you first arrived here. It feels as if it was destined for us to meet. You really don’t know I lucky I am to have you in my life, Crystal.”
He then got up from his chair and knelt down to capture me in his arms. I could hear his heart beating in my chest as I leaned against it.
“I think I’d be the one to actually consider myself lucky.”, I responded as I tightened the embrace.

#YumeWeek2020- Day 4: Rain
One day, Crystal will get her hands on “Stand By Me” Tokiya! 😤✊🏾
Was that photo the inspiration for this fic, you ask? Yes. No. Maybe so.
"Damn it! I should’ve known that something would go wrong! And just when I straightened my hair a few days ago! What a disaster- I hate this!”, I grunted, touching the wet locks of my hair.
Tokiya and I were having a lovely time on our picnic when a rainstorm came in and ruined the romantic mood.
Thank God I took extra precaution and brought my umbrella. Tokiya must’ve gotten the same idea because he brought his own pair. We had to quickly stash everything away and take off running before things got worse. 
We quickly took shelter under a bus stop while waiting for the storm to settle down. Tokiya may have seen how upset I was about my hair because I felt something being placed on my head.
“I’m sorry that your lovely hair got ruined. I promise I’ll do what I can to help you out with it.”, Tokiya sweetly explained as he dried my hair with a towel.
“It sucks to be in such a good mood at one moment only for it to crushed the next.”
Tokiya calmly stood next to me and listened to my ranting as he continued drying my hair. Realizing that my nose was running, I fished out a wrinkled tissue and blew it. Albeit very loudly.
“S-sorry.”, I awkwardly avoided his sudden gaze in embarrassment before I threw out the snotty paper.
Ignoring that entire occurrence, Tokiya stated, “I understand that you’re upset. But, I wouldn’t say that the date was a complete disaster. Besides...”
“Besides...what?”, I questioned, confused at his abrupt trail off.
In a split second, I felt hands slip over my waist before I was swiftly pulled closer to him.
“Even with this awful weather, I’m not going to let it spoil my mood when I’m around such beautiful company.”, he softly whispered over my lips.
“D-don’t look at me like that.”, I timidly stuttered under the gaze of his irresistible blue eyes.
“What are you going to do about it then?”
I couldn’t help myself. I gave in to my desires and got on the tips of my toes. Our lips met; our kiss just as passionate as the rain that continued to fall. I was wrapped in his arms; his warmth shielding me from the freezing cold.
Perhaps this date wasn’t so bad after all. I guess I have someone to thank for that.
