Yuki, Kyo, Kagura, Momiji, Tohru with a reader from zodiac

FRUBA CHARACTERS W ZODIAC!READER

((reader’s zodiac is based off of western/greek zodiac signs; will be capricorn!reader))

YUKI

Is so shocked to find out there is a second zodiac curse

So grateful that there are more people like him

^^feels really bad about this

Bc y’all aren’t from the same zodiac - physical touch is even more dangerous

I mean,, imagine seeing not only a rat surrounded by clothes, but a weird goat-fish hybrid???

Regardless, tries to have physical contact with you whenever possible

Linking pinkies, resting his head on your shoulder, being shockingly close at all times,,

Is worried about ur scales dehydrating when you transform - tries to keep water on him for you

Makes sure you never feel insecure about your zodiac form like he does

Has a really lovely feeling of solidarity w you

Would do anything to protect your secret

Because he knows you would do the same

KYO

Straight up thinks you’re lying at first

“There’s no fuckin way”

You tackle him to prove it

“wtf that’s not even a real animal????”

Gets v flustered when u transform back

Mans is fine being naked, but seeing other naked ppl?

Hell nah

Eventually just kinda takes you under his wing w an annoyed sigh

So so touch adverse; is so scared of you seeing his true form

Like with the rest of his zodiac - wishes he was like you

So envious, but in a way that carries a deep sadness

Shows his affection through banter and friendly violence

((Mans will not hold your hand; however will kick you behind the knees - gentle enough as to not hurt, but hard enough to make you lose balance))

Scolds you for anything that could put your secret at risk

“How did you even survive before you met me, dumbass?”

KAGURA

So so excited to learn there is another curse

“We’re the same!!”

Is jealous of your animal form

You’re a cool, cute, mythical animal; and she’s just a pig?? Unfair!!

Constantly lets you know how unfair this is

Pretty upset that she can’t cling to you all the time

She just wants to show you how much she loves you, y’know?

Ironically, tries to do alot of mud and clay treatments to your skin and scales

Loves loves self care nights together

Isn’t opposed to cuddling when no one else is around, despite animals and then nudity

Doesn’t care if you see her naked

But anyone else???

Instantly branded a pervert.

Tries to keep you all to herself; “to keep the curse a secret, of course!!”

MOMIJI

Another one that is genuinely Thrilled to find out there are more like him

But is also instantly worried

“Who’s your god? What are they like?”

When you assure him that you’re safe, is So relieved

Even after this, is nosy as all hell lmao

Wants to know Everything about Everyone

“So you are Capricorn, ja? Who is Pisces? Because I am a pisces too!!”

Thinks your zodiac form is adorable!

Loves sitting in-between your horns when you’re both transformed

Unsurprisingly; will be exceedingly touchy-feely regardless of transformations

Mans does not give a single flying Fuck

Even when ur in public and have to be careful of transforming - is never Not touching you

Holding hands galore!!

Shows you off to the rest of the zodiac

But doesn’t let you anywhere near Akito

You’re too precious

TOHRU

Feels so blessed to be meeting more special and unique people

Is very vocal about this

Is also V nosy; but not in a malicious way

Plays guessing games as she meets everyone

((Usually gets it wrong))

Doesn’t know as much about the Western zodiacs, but is very excited to learn!

Very very cautious to make sure you don’t transform

Thinks you’re beautiful and fascinating when you do though!!

But wants to keep you safe

However, its a well known fact that she’s one clumsy mf

Me too, Tohru, me too

Will tell the most Wack cover stories for you

Wants you to be besties with her zodiac

Jealousy

yuki soma x fem!reader

oneshot

request: yes/no: by someone on wattpad

A/n: this oneshot was part of a collection I had titled Smile! wanted to post it here because I can and feel like it would be more appreciated here. Lol

Word count: 1007w

Not proofread 😅

<=========>

The more you hung around Kyo, the more Yuki got jealous. Yuki didn't realize he was jealous until that jealously he held bubbled over and he lashed out.

It happened at Shigure's house when you came over to hang out with Tohru but you were really there to see Kyo. Don't get me wrong, you liked Tohru but Kyo was interesting to you because you knew everything about Tohru.

So, you wanted to get know Kyo, Yuki on the other hand, you tried to keep your distance and avoid him at school. The only reason being because of the Prince Yuki FanClub, they scared you to the point that you kept your distance for the so-called Prince of the School. You didn't want to get harassed.

But that didn't mean you disliked Yuki, you actually had a small crush on the Soma boy. You didn't really know what drawn you to Yuki but you kept you feelings for Yuki under wraps because of his crazed fan club.

"Hello, Tohru!" You greeted her at the door.

"Oh! Y/n! Hello, come on in." Tohru smiled at you letting you through the door.

"Are Kyo and Yuki here?" You asked taking off you shoes.

"Uh, yeah, Kyo's here. But, I don't know where Soma is." Tohru said.

You frowned a bit at Tohru's answer as you followed her to the living room, where Shigure and Kyo sat.

"Hello, Shigure, Kyo." You greeted the two Somas.

Both Somas turned to face the girl, Shigure smiled at her as Kyo closed his eyes turning away with a light pink blush as his face.

"Hello there, Y/n. A pleasure seeing you as always." Shigure greeted.

You laughed at the novelist. "Hello to you too Shigure." You said.

"Are you here to see our precious Kyo?" Shigure teased as Kyo blushed and flinched at his statement.

"No, I'm not just here to see Kyo. I'm here to see Yuki and Tohru," You said. "We're all friends here, right?"

"Yeah, exactly!" Tohru exclaimed cheerfully.

"Well, I'm sorry, but Yuki went out for a bit. But, he'll be back soon too." Shigure said.

"Awww~! That's too bad, I never get to talk to Yuki." You whined out.

Kyo clicked his tongue in annoyance, but didn't saying anything just looked away.

"Mh? You want to say something, Kyo?" You asked the carrot top.

"No." He answered quickly.

You raised an eyebrow and tilted your head to the side.

"Oh! Miss l/n, hello." Yuki's voice startled you as you jumped and turned around seeing Yuki behind you.

"Oh! Soma, welcome back." Tohru greeted the boy.

"Y-Yeah, hey, Yuki." You stumbled out, wiping you sweat hands on the sides of your pants.

Yuki smiled at you and smiled nervously back as you went over to sit next to Kyo as Tohru said she was going make tea. You didn't even see Yuki give Kyo a dirty look, Shigure smirked at this, knowing how jealous Yuki could get when it came to you.

Yuki sat down at the other side of the table as you teased Kyo, laughing as he yelled at you while Yuki kept silent glance up at the two every now and then. You and Kyo stood up as two of you argued about something, you were smiling and laughing as Kyo growled yet had a small ghost of smile on his lips.

Yuki felt jealously bubble a bit in the pit of his stomach that when he got up from his spot and striked Kyo in the face sending him into the paper door and into the yard. Yuki's eyes shot wide as he left the room.

"Oh, Yuki. Don't know how control those emotions you have." Shigure commented.

"What do you mean?" Tohru asked Shigure, who smirked.

You frowned as you went after him. "Shigure, Yuki's room is upstairs, yeah?" You asked.

Shigure nodded as you made your way upstairs to hunt for Yuki. You didn't find Yuki in his room, you found him sitting in the hall with his arms resting on his knees with his head down.

"Yuki?" He flinched hearing you call his name.

"I'm sorry," Yuki mumbled. "I wish you didn't see that side of me." He said.

"Why'd you do that to Kyo?" You asked him.

Yuki looked up at you. "I didn't like that you are always with that Stupid Cat."

Your eyes widened as your face flushed a pink hue. "Yuki? Are you jealous of Kyo?" You asked curiously.

Yuki looked up at you with a smirk on his lips. "Maybe I am." He said as he stood up and pinned you against the wall.

"Y-Yuki." You blushed an even deep color. This was super out of character for him and you surprisingly liked it.

"Miss l/n, I just want you to know that I have feelings for you, I know that we don't talk often but seeing your smile everyday makes my heart pound. Your so kind to everyone and that's why I fell for you." Yuki said.

Your heart was pounding. Was he serious? Did he truly have feelings for you?

"Yuki, I... I have feelings for you too, I really wanted to get to know you but it's so hard to get close to you, I know I'm already one of Tohru's friends but we were all in different classes. And those girls from your so-called fan club scared." You sighed out.

Yuki chuckled, petting your hair. "You'll be just fine. You worry too much." He said.

"I guess," You chuckled with a smile. "I guess I do."

"Miss l/n?" He asked.

"Huh?" You answered him.

“Can I... can I kiss you?" Yuki asked as a pink tint appeared across his cheeks.

You nodded as Yuki leaned in places his lips against yours. As he pulled away, you placed a hand on his cheek.

"And please Yuki," You said to him. "Call me Y/n."

His face flushed a deep red. "Of course, Y-Y/n."

What Type Of Partner Would The Fruit Basket Zodiacs Be Pt 1

Day One of The Underrated And The Unwritten

Notes: eek i'm so excited to write for this fandom! Tbh i was kind of very slightly sad about everyone ending up with someone at the end because that meant it was awkward to ship characters or write about them with someone else but eh.

Warnings: this is both sfw and nsfw content! so like how would they be as a partner overall. mdni

Characters involved: Yuki Soma, Kyo Soma, Hatsuharu Soma, Momiji Soma

Gender-neutral reader, you/yours

Yuki Soma

Yuki is a very gentle lover and partner.

He's pretty conscious about his real personality can come off as cold or aloof which is why he'd probably force himself to be a little outgoing near the start to get to know you.

You'd have to start off as friends first and it would take a little getting used to but once he understands his emotions for you Yuki's quick to accept them and confess.

A relationship with Yuki can be full of excitement. He wants to try new things and discover different situations with you.

Yuki can easily associate happiness with someone who makes him feel comfortable which is why he tends to be around you when he's sad because he thinks your mere presence makes things better.

When it comes to being more intimate Yuki can take very long to get comfortable that way. He's so used to associating physical touch with violence that it really takes time for him to get used to your physical affection.

Definitely would be a bottom at the start, but once he gets used to it Yuki can be quite the switch.

He isn't into BDSM at all because of his traumatic childhood but if there's certain things you're into that you'd want to try you can always ask and have a talk.

He loves cuddling in bed for aftercare and will probably let you fall asleep in his arms (and then clean you up while you're sleeping because he's just that cute).

Communication is key when it comes to being with a guy like Yuki, whether that be in the bedroom or outside it, which is why you need to learn to be vocal about your emotions and thoughts because he can be a little oblivious at times.

He's honestly just a softy who needs love.

Kyo Soma

Tsundere. Need I say more?

Getting a confession out of Kyo Soma is possibly the most impossible thing ever. Like seriously, you need to be committed for a longgg time before he makes a move and even then you'll probably have to force a confession out of him.

He's the kind of partner who would act all annoyed whenever you're affectionate but then also do things like holding your hand when the street's too crowded or texting you to make sure you got home safe (but he completely denies that's why he sent you a text).

He also gives off old dad energy please he'll have the most awful dad jokes and hold his phone like a forty-year-old father.

Very protective. Will literally yowl at people who even look at you threateningly. And no I don't mean that 'manly' little growl thing men do in books, I mean literally yowling like a cat who wasn't fed.

This ranges from sneers to eyerolls plus scoffs to actual yowls. He will not be afraid to throw hands if he sees the other person is making you uncomfortable.

Kyo is honestly so cute when it comes to being intimate. He gets all flustered and you'll probably have to take the lead the first time. However, he might switch it up and take control halfway.

Really just depends on how comfortable and into it he is. Will hesitate a lot and ask you questions constantly.

Also the king of aftercare like literally doesn't let you do anything the rest of the day.

Kyo can be hard to keep up with as a partner because of his tendency to reject his emotions, but if you're someone who likes teasing their partner then he's basically perfect for you.

Just give him time to you, but don't be surprised if he's unwilling to leave once he has experienced your affection.

Hatsuharu Soma

Softie.

Haru is the type of partner who's obsessed with you but doesn't show it that much. It's not that he's trying to hide it but just that he's not very open affectionately.

He's fine with PDA and likes showing you off and making it clear that you're his but he can also be a little...slow when it comes to catching on.

This means that if you're ever jealous then he'll take a while to notice and then blatantly point it out. If you're angry/upset with him he won't understand it and will force you to talk to him because he refuses to read between the lines.

But he's such a sweetheart. He's always so comforting and will constantly check up on you, sending you messages or randomly showing up at your house because he missed you or wanted to make sure you were okay.

Dates with him are usually spontaneous and not overall grand but the kind that are simple yet romantic.

He's also very sweet when you're intimate.

Switch but not in the way you think.

While his normal side can be quite the pleasure dom/soft dom, when Haru goes dark things can get a bit...BDSM like. However, him going dark that way is very rare and will probably only happen if you make him very jealous/worried.

Momiji Soma

He is such an obsessive partner.

Momiji wants to know everything about you. He wants to learn every little quirk and secret, every small trait. Your favourite flower, food you dislike, drama going on in your life, Momiji is there for it all.

He's just so completely infatuated with you he can't help but feel a need to know everything.

It's not the kind of thing where he asks you questions at rapid fire trying to learn everything, but more that he's just always wanting to get to know more about you.

Momiji has always had to love people from a distance so he gets a little excited at the prospect of being able to love you without restrictions, without having to pretend he doesn't know you or doesn't care.

He's quick to confess and even quicker to get into the hang of things, constantly hugging you and dropping kisses on your hand, face, lips, neck, anywhere you would allow.

Momiji is fully and completely obsessed with you, and he loves it. He loves you.

He will rear it in if you feel like he's getting overwhelming but Momiji cannot not love you.

When it comes to being intimate, Momiji might be a little overwhelmed at first, like too excited, and you'd have to help ground him and focus on the actual act rather than going crazy because your top's off.

He can be so soft and gentle, almost as if he's afraid to break you, but once he gets the hang of it Momiji's open to exploring new things.

He isn't one for BDSM (like at all, honestly he's more opposed to it than Yuki) and prefers more of the lovemaking type of intimacy.

Others Finding out You're Dating

Request: "Hi, can i make a request from furuba about how other people (zodiacs or friends) find out they're dating. I would love to see Kakeru, Yuki, Haru and Momiji if it's not a problem uwu" - @nemezisi

Warnings: None

A/N: Sorry it's a little late 😅 Life is still hectic, but I managed to carve out some time to write this 😊 I hope it lives up to your expectations 💕

Kakeru

everyone def found out immediately

and that's bc the boy can't shut up aksjsks

i mean, yuki def found out first bc he tells him everything

but the whole school found out within a day because he kept calling you pet names

and yk, holding your hand and squishing your cheeks

he doesn't really ever hold anything back or intentionally hide something, so it was bound to get out quickly

Yuki

see, this wasn't on him at all

he's not super into pda and he doesn't tend to tell people much

kakeru's mischievous butt just decided to "accidentally" announce it through the school speaker

totally not intentional at all, nope

shigure found out because tohru brought it up in front of him without thinking

and just as yuki feared, he didn't shut up about it

endless teasing and endless questions (and endless lowkey innuendos to drive him up a wall)

Hatsuharu

shigure

need I say more?

this man is always in everybody's business and he always knows everything

so of course he found out y'all were dating

and of course mans let it slip around a couple people (*cough* yuki, kyo, tohru, and hatori*cough*)

surprisingly no more than that, and none of them talk, so anyone else finding out was entirely y'all's decision

Momiji

it was absolutely because he just didn't think about it as a big deal

dating you is as natural as breathing air

n o t dating you was definitely weirder to him

so whenever someone finds out it's because he mentioned something so nonchalantly that anyone that overheard would have thought the person he was speaking to already knew

every time someone finds out, you can practically see a buffer sign over their head as they process what they just heard

The Briney Deep

Kyo Soma x f!Reader

Pirate AU

Warnings: Piratey Things, Sword Fighting, Blood, Suggestive

Salt. Everything on this damn ship was wet and tasted like salt. It wasn't that Kyo necessarily minded salt, it was just EVERYWHERE. Stuck to his skin, built up under his nails, between his eyelashes, pasted into his scalp... He couldn't lick his lips without tasting it, or push his flaming orange hair out of his face without getting it in his eyes.

The hot sun beat down on the top deck, sweat dripping down his spine as he ran errands back and worth for the boatswain. Waves beat against the hull, ocean and ship dancing to a song Kyo had yet to learn. Only a few days at sea with the coastal patrol but the landsman had yet to earn his sea legs. He shivered as a particularly powerful swell crested the rails and soaked his already damp trousers.

The ship itself wasn't so bad, and neither was the sea when she was playing nice. He had barely gotten seasick, and Kyo's diligence in his swordsmanship training had given him better poise than most. It was one of the riggers, mates who scaled the masts and operated the ropes, who reminded him of his cousin that made Kyo almost wish to see land again.

Not only did they have the same silver hair, his attitude grated on Kyo's nerves. Damn kid was aloof, but the look he gave Kyo was that the orange haired man wasn't worth his time. The rigger, Kiryu, was exceptional at every task and respected by the crew. He could have gone up in ranks but preferred the freedom and heights no other position offered despite the immense danger. He was infuriating to Kyo, just like that damn Yuki.

"Ahoy, Carrots! Ye daft, swab?"

Kyo's head snapped to the sound of Kiryu's holler. The man hung from shrouds of the fore mast, directly over Kyo's position on the main deck.

Now having the attention of the landsman, Kiryu continued, "Cap'n said its time to weigh anchor. Help the mates raise the line. Savvy?"

"Aye," Kyo bristled, grinding his teeth and clenching his fists, feeling the salty grit on his palms. He hated taking orders, especially from the rigger. Swallowing his angry retort, the orange haired man set off for the pinrails squinting into the glaring sun.

Captain Vivekka Everly, of the notorious pirate ship the Scylla, stood in her cabin staring out the porthole at the crashing waves. Sighing heavily, the voluptuous woman pushed her short white hair behind her ears. Plopping into the velvet chair before her writing table, vivid teal orbs scanned the navigation maps absentmindedly. Spinning the caliper against the star chart, the young captain debated her options.

Unlike Naval officers, pirates used democracy to appoint their leaders. The crew chose who led them by popular vote. They voted on destinations and acted as jury for punishments. All in all, the captain only had power for as long as they had the respect of their crew. Experience, knowledge and talent certainly mattered but when the crew was full of violent thieves and murderers who weren't afraid to mutiny, a captain did their best to keep their people's interests at heart. Pirates had a code they lived by, or died by if they broke it. Honor among thieves and all that jazz.

Recently, her quartermaster and first mate, Y/n, seemed to have lost her spark. The two women had grown close after Y/n accepted her current position aboard the Scylla. Long hours pouring over sea charts, staring at the stars for navigation, counting coins and fighting at each other's backs. While the younger h/c would never admit it, Vivekka knew the dull look in her friend's eyes. For Y/n, the sea was losing it’s siren song.

During Vivekka's time as captain, well over a decade, she had seen a few of her crew from time to time, grow weary of life at sea. If she wanted to keep the talented Y/n aboard her ship, she would need to act fast. The next disembarkment could very well be Y/n's last if she didn't again find her love of the briney deep.

Kicking back the lushly lined chair, the captain threw her long legs up on the desk. The movement stirred one of the Scylla's cats. It opened one lazy eye and glared at the captain before ignoring her for more sleep. Captain Vivekka crossed both her feet and arms and contemplated.

On one hand, she could offer more share of the treasure to Y/n, and take less herself. Or they could take a break from treasure hunting and focus more on attacking lone coastal corvettes. Those small patrolling warships, while offering no golden cache, had maps, charts and logs that were valuable. Along with shipping routes and patrol schedules. While the crew aboard the Scylla weren't particularly bloodthirsty, sometimes a good fight was sufficient to get the pirate heart pumping again. The choice would be up to the crew, but Vivekka controlled the options.

Satisfied in her decision, Captain Vivekka Everly swiped her weathered embellished tricorn hat from its resting place and placed it snugly on her head. Bare feet hitting the floor as she stood, the white haired woman strode confidently from her quarters to gather her crew.

You stretched your arms out, lacing fingers together and palms to the sea. Groaning, you worked the kinks out of your stiff back and neck. The f/c bandanna wrapped around your head to hold your hair out of your eyes shifted, the ends fluttering over your shoulder to dance in the breeze. A deep breath expanded your lungs and drew a smile to your face. The gloriousness of the ocean filling your senses. Shutting your eyes, you absorbed the relative quiet the early dawn provided before the rest of the crew would awaken.

A lone seagull cawed, circling the masts. More would arrive the closer the ship got to the coast. The mates had finally agreed on a destination a few days prior. It was a relief, being the quartermaster meant breaking up fights. Disagreements between pirates was often bloody. Gratefully, nobody fed the fish.

The Scylla hunted for a lone patrol ship. An easy target, not meant for coffers but for navigation booty. Maps, routes-

"Sail ho! Avast! Cog off the starboard bow!" The lookout keeping watch from the crow's nest sang breaking through your thoughts.

A giddy tremor stirred your stomach, excitement making your toes wiggle against the wooden boards. Finally, some action! Taking leaping steps, you pounced on the stairs leading under the deck. A large bell hung from the wall, to be rang to bring the whole ship to attention. Reaching out for the weathered metal object, you shook it successfully startling everyone asleep in quarters. A cat lying near the archway on a barrel jumped, fur standing on end as it hissed at you.

"Awake, ye scallywags! All hands hoay!"

The grumbling quickly became shouts of excitement as the crew aboard the Scylla made quick to their posts. Unfurling the remaining sails to give chase to the coastal patrol ship. Loading the cannons. Aiming guns starboard. Not one idle mate.

Dancing over the ship's cats as they ran to get from underfoot, you made for the navigation quarters. As you reached for the handle, the door flew open. Not wasting a moment, the white haired captain made for the quarter deck to speak with the sailing master at the Scylla's wheel.

"Corvette 'bout 3 leagues out, Cap'n," the coxswain removed the spyglass and replied to Captain Vivekka's unasked question.

"Good," she turned, dark purple tailcoat flaring out behind her and teal eyes glittering, "ahoy, lass. Prepare the gunners. We board once grapplers hook. We draw the ship, secure those naval soldiers, pillage the papers and return. No need to scuttle her, but let the tar untie themselves."

You nod, "aye, aye, Cap'n," and drop to the main deck. Gesturing for a boatswain, you relay the captain's orders. Another mate sent to the gunners to prepare the cannons. Now you wait.

Once the ship came into view of the naked eye, rifle shots were fired into the air above the patrol vessel searching for the lookouts. A body dropped from their crow's nest. The yells of the men in Naval coats echoed as they started rushing frantic around the deck. A shot across the bow came from the cog.

You snorted, "late for a warning." For men in uniform, it looked like utter chaos. "This is why women should lead," you thought smugly, "far more organized and delegated."

"Fire in the hole!"

Internal gloating pushed aside by the mate's warning, as the belly of the Scylla rumbled firing the first cannon. The gunners had aimed for masts, sails, rigging and upper deck, not trying to sink the cog just disable her.

"Blow 'em down, lassies, but giv'm quarter should they kneel," your order drew cheers from the action starved mates of the Scylla. You all had been craving a good fight.

At the Captain's command, the boarding party lined up along the rails, from poop deck to bow sprit, grappling hooks at the ready. Swashbucklers freeing their cutlass, pistols loaded. Marlinspikes, metal tools used in rigging, gripped in hand for those without weaponry. Sprays of sea water shot up as the Scylla rammed into the corvette's broadside.

The first of the Scylla's mates had already swung across the grapplers. You licked the salt from your lips as the boatswain drew the gangplank across both ship's decks. It was time to cross.

You watched as men in patriotic uniform cried insults and pleas, but none dropped to their knees. That was Captain Everly's special condition for quarter, they have to beg on their knees. The white haired young captain enjoyed the sight of crushed masculine pride. You had to admit, it felt nice when the misogynists recognized their lives were in your feminine hands.

A mate dragging two young cabin boys passed you, taking the young lads back to the Scylla. Children were always given quarter, if they didn't want to stay aboard the Scylla, they were free to leave at the next disembarkment.

Stepping off the gangplank, your bare feet touched the cog's deck. You grimaced, feeling the inferior planks that hadn't been sanded to accommodate bare feet. How the Naval tar wore boots without slipping was beyond you.

A noise drew your attention from inspection. Not many were left resisting. Most were bloodied and soon to be shark bait. Few had been tied to the masts, they must have submitted to their knees. A clash of metal rang from the cog's quarter deck. You scaled the ladder easily, finding the source of commotion.

One man, with bright orange hair, held back 3 of the Scylla's best swashbucklers with a short sword.

"Oh?" You cocked your head to the side, "well sink me, there be a Naval with talent?" Turning to the swashbucklers you sang out, "ye run'n a rig, lassies? Cleave'm to the brisket if he won't kneel."

The youngest of the 3 glared at the man, "ain't no rig, Quartermaster, this tar knows how to fight unlike the rest of the bilge-suckers," she spat the insult.

"Well, well," you stepped forward, "if that be the case, perhaps this dance be mine."

The Scylla lassies back-stepped, allowing you the space to duel. Taking one last glance, they split up to continue pillaging the cog.

"Come on then, lad, shiver me timbers," you taunted cheekily.

The orange haired man grit his teeth, then stuck forward. You parried, cutlass against short sword.

"You know there is nothing of value here, right?" He growled a little breathless.

"Booty is more than doubloons."

A look of confusion crossed his face, making him raise his bright orange brows. "What could be of use to pirates on a patrol ship?"

A sweep of his sword had you twirling off to the side just out of his reach. He dashed forward only to be parried by you again, but you didn't stop there. You reacted with a series of short rapid slashes. He stumbled backwards, almost tripping over some rigging on deck.

"Official papers cost many pieces of eight," you replied encroaching into his personal space. You were faster than he was, but you had to admit, the tar was talented.

"You know," he smirked kicking your legs out from under you, "its been a long time since I've faced a swordsman of your caliber. Pity you're a pirate."

Rolling, you evaded a downward strike of his blade. You flipped yourself backwards, kicking him in the face before landing on your feet.

"Yer the one without freedom, tar. The sea be me mistress, while she yer jailer."

He stopped at your words, rubbing his bruised jaw, thoughtful. You watched, circling him, the man amused you. You took this moment to inspect the man closer. Biting your lip, you fidgeted with your cutlass. He was quite handsome. Hair and eyes as bright as the sunset, jaw angled, nose sharp. Muscles rippled as he shifted his weight to keep you in view.

"I didn't come to sea to be officer," he began, "I wanted freedom from my oppressive family."

You chuckled, "must be mighty oppressive for ye to choose the King's tar over yer own blood." He nodded. "They say blood of the coven be thicker than the water of the womb. Me coven be the Scylla."

"Scylla?" He questioned, still thoughtful, "is that your ship?"

"Aye."

"What does it take to be a pirate?"

The question almost made you drop your cutlass. "Blimey, the tar asking t'go on account?" A grin split your face from ear to ear. You liked him. "What be yer name, mate?"

He studied you a moment, the smirk reappearing on his handsome features. He sheathed his sword then knelt, "Kyo."

You laughed heartily, bending over at the waist. The lad had been paying attention when you had spoken to the swashbucklers. He knew to kneel. Wiping your eyes, you straightened. Holding the cutlass to his throat, you locked eyes with him. His amber orbs watching your e/c ones.

"It not be a decision for me to make, but," you batted his cheek with the flat side of your cutlass then sheathed your own weapon, "the Cap'n be fair... for a pirate," you added cheekily.

Looking around you saw that you had drawn a crowd. The mates were watching the spectacle unfold. It wasn't often a Naval tar asked to become a pirate. In fact, you'd never known it to happen personally.

Wiping out your pistol, you pointed it to Kyo's temple, "just a precaution, mate, no reason to hang the jib," you replied to the question in his eyes and frown on his face. The mates parted, allowing you to lead Kyo from the cog to the Scylla. As soon as you both had stepped off the gangplank the board was lifted.

Captain Vivekka walked the quarter deck, "weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen! We got what we came for mates." The crew cheered as they pulled the rigging, allowing the sails to unfurl. A strong wind was blowing. She faced the coxswain, "bring a spring upon 'er, we aim for the briney deep!" The helmsman spun the wheel, turning the ship, leaving the cog behind. Once a few fathoms were between the Scylla and the corvette, Captain Vivekka stepped down to the main deck where you stood.

It wasn't often she dressed up, once out to sea you couldn't tell her from a mate by clothing alone. However, now they were close to shore and Navy ships. She looked regal and intimidating; her royal purple coat buttoned and laced with gold embellishments and the glaring noon sun highlighting her white hair under the tricorn captain's hat.

"What loot have ye plundered, Quartermaster?" Your Captain inquired inspecting Kyo.

"This tar knelt and asked t'go on account," you couldn't help your grin. Not only was the orange haired man handsome, he was a talented swordsman AND he respected your abilities in return. You really wanted to keep him, and crossed your fingers behind your back with your free hand.

"Oh?" Captain stepped forwards, sliding a long weathered hand under the man's chin, forcing him to look at her. "What makes ye believe yer worthy tar? I have full hands. What can ye do for me, knave? Answer well or you'll walk the plank."

Kyo gulped then cleared his throat, the salt sticking to his lips, "I was a swordsman before I came to sea. I boarded ship looking for freedom, but there be none under the King's ensign. If you'll have me, I'll lend you my arm for as long as the sea is willing."

She studied him a moment, approving of the fire in his eyes. Throwing her head back, she laughed the clapped Kyo heavily on the shoulder, shaking his frame.

"So serious, lad," the Captain's smile was infectious, she looked to you behind him. "Ye found one of the few not lily-livered," she winked at you, "next one be mine yer hear!" You holstered your pistol and nudged Kyo with your elbow. He looked at you, happy but confused. "Ye be answering to Y/n, the Quartermaster of the Scylla and my first mate. Pirates do things their own way, ye learn the code in time. I be fair, but expect hard work. I'll have none of me crew half-ass, savvy?"

He nodded at her, "aye, aye, Cap'n."

"Stand before the mast, I'll have ye oath now," she pointed to the center of the main deck.

The main mast towered overhead, but nothing at the base was eye catching. Brownish hand prints decorated the wood, where as the rest of the ship was relatively spotless. Some more visible than others, as time and salt water had faded them. As Kyo leaned forwards to inspect the marks, you pulled out a dirk and handed it him. He took it from you with questioning eyes.

"Yer oath be with yer own blood," you informed him, then placed a hand where you had made your own oath. You then stepped back to join the mates who had come to witness.

He understood immediately, slicing across his palm with the dirk. After spreading the blood to cover his hand, Kyo placed his hand on the mast. He then looked over his shoulder to Captain Vivekka.

"Say what's in yer heart, lad. The Scylla and her crew, not to me."

Closing his eyes he drew a deep breath. The salty ocean breeze filling him up, and for once it didn't annoy him. Seagulls cawed following the ship as she left the coast, a song to accompany the ritual.

"I swear me oath of loyalty to the Scylla and her crew. For freedom and me mistress, the lady of the briney deep."

Cheers erupted around Kyo and he opened his eyes. The pirate crew slapped him on the back one after the other. He had never felt such... belonging, and with people whose names he had yet to know.

"Alright, ye landlubbers, back to work before I keelhaul ye!" Spinning on her heel, Captain Vivekka crossed the deck to the navigation quarters and disappeared.

Kyo looked about the ship and crew he had just joined as they carried on with their tasks. Mostly female, but there were a few men aboard the Scylla. He looked you up and down, noticing your attire and figure now that he wasn't in battle. He'd never known a more beautiful and talented woman.

He scratched the back of his head, face reddening, "So... what now? Y/n, right?"

"Yer a pirate now, and me personal mate," his eyes widened at your declaration, and you quickly backtracked with a blush of your own. "I mean, yer me hand, like me own cabin boy but ye not a boy..."

Kyo's nose scrunched up as he chuckled, "I see. Well then, Quartermaster Y/n-"

"Y/n, is fine," you interjected, then looked away realizing your own forwardness.

The grin you received was worth the slight embarrassment. "Then, Y/n," he held out his bloodied hand and the dirk in the other, "shall we make an oath?"

You jolted in surprise. An oath? To each other? You stomach spun with a feeling you hadn't had since your first time at sea. Your legs quivered, and you locked your knees to keep upright. The afternoon sun was sweltering, but not the cause of your dilemma. The orange haired man before you was unknowingly stealing your heart. Which was only fair, as you unknowingly had pillaged his.

A little breathless, you reached for the dirk but he took your hand in his and lightly slid the dirk across your palm. Lacing his bloodied fingers with yours, he looked at you with a smile so bright the sun was dull in comparison.

"Y/n, I make an oath of loyalty to you. I will forever be in your debt for the freedom you have shown me. My quartermaster and my mate." His eyes sparkled mischievously. "I'll fight by yer side until Davy Jones takes me."

"Listen to ye, ye rapscallion," you playfully chastised him, "can't run a rig on an oath."

Kyo chuckled, shaking his head as the Scylla's cats purred and circled the two of you, rubbing up against his legs, "this be no trick."

"Nor trying to swing the lead?"

"I heard Cap'n," he squeezed your fingers with his own, "no half-ass'n."

"Better not be, I expect me mate be a fine swordsman until he old salt 'n can't hold a cutlass."

"I live and die by the sword, as I now live and die by the sea." Kyo's firm conviction and fighting spirit convinced you. He felt warm and alive, his pulse beating against your hand.

"Alright then," you took a shaky breath, salty air of your mistress the sea filling your lungs. "For as long as ye be true, this lass be loyal to ye as well."

Waves crashed over the rails and dampened Kyo's trouser legs. He shivered, but not from the icy water. Salt stuck to his skin, built up under his nails, between his eyelashes and pasted into his bright orange hair. He licked it off his lips; the sea tasted of freedom. Staring into Kyo's sunset orbs, you squeezed his bloodied hand. Your heart felt lighter than ever as the siren song of the briney deep echoed within your soul.

⟡ 十二 | 𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐅𝐓𝐇 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑

𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑭𝑳𝑰𝑷𝑷𝑬𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑶𝑼𝑮𝑯 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑬𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑲, scanning through your notes as you tried to pass time. Earlier in the day, Makoto suggested that you and Yuki meet up at the Student Council Room to help count the funds received during the Culture Festival.

You sighed underneath your breath, tapping the tip of your pen against the table. Even though Makoto was supposed to be here with you, he decided to leave once you arrived to talk with Motoko. You thought that their relationship spanned more than just an obsession with Yuki. The idea of having them both together in the same room as the grey-haired boy gave you a migraine.

Yuki was also supposed to be here, but apparently, he had to stay back to finish some class duties. This meant that you were sitting alone in the council room trying to pass time. As you finished revising your notes, feeling a bit proud of your handwriting, you heard a knock on the door.

“The door is unlocked,” you comment, setting down your pen. You watched as the sliding door slowly opened, revealing a slightly tall, dark-brown-haired boy. He had a small smile on his face as he gave you a small wave.

“Sorry to bother you (L/n)-san, I was just looking for you,” he said, his smile growing wider as he closed the door behind him. You pressed your lips together, tilting your head towards him. You realized that he was most likely from another class as your memory of his name was close to nonexistent. Although you were the Class Representative and one of Makoto’s picks for the next year’s Student Council, you were never able to get the names of everyone in your grade.

“Is there anything you need?” You questioned, giving him a closed-eye smile as his cheeks turned a slight pink color. He scratched the back of his neck anxiously, almost struggling with his words as his smile became more nervous. He began to sweat as he tried to focus his gaze on you.

“W-Well. . . I just wanted to talk to you about something. Could you hear me out?” He asked, his cheeks becoming hotter by the second. You looked at him with a confused expression, almost oblivious to his intentions.

“Sure, what would you like me to hear?” You stacked together the papers in a neat pile, “I can always send your requests to President Takei if you would like.”

“N-No, I just wanted to talk to you. . .” He began to sweat more but he stiffened his muscles, trying to muster up the courage to tell you the truth.

“I just. . . I wanted to tell you that I think you’re an amazing person!” He clenches his fists as he pressed his lips together, “You always work hard for the Student Council even though you’re just a representative. . . and you turn in a lot of papers on time! When people need you, you’re always there to help fill in the work. . .”

“I notice that you don’t get the same amount of credit as Sohma Yuki, but I think that you’re a lot better than him!” He adds, causing your cheeks to fade into a pink color.

“You’re kind and you always try to support others. You make the best food in Home Economics and when you smile. . . it looks good on you!”

You stared at him in shock as he continued speaking, his eyes shutting themselves, “Even though you’re not as popular as Sohma-san, you never let it get to you! You’re strong in your ways and you always use it to help other people in need.”

From behind the closed door, a grey-haired student dropped his hand from the handle. He stared into the window at the back of the boy’s head, watching as your muscles stiffened. He raised his hand to grip at the side of his arm, lowering his gaze slightly as his eyes stared at the scene in front of him. The tension and environment felt so much like a typical romance scene and it made him feel. . . slightly worried. He bit the bottom of his lip, his nails burrowing themselves into the side of his arm.

“I’ve always liked that about you. . . I’ve liked you since the start of the school year! So. . . I would like it if you would go out with me.”

You blinked several times in surprise. You’ve never met this boy or talked to him before, and yet he was already confessing to you. The situation felt. . . awkward and tense. You pressed your lips together in a nervous frown. The atmosphere was pressuring you into accepting his proposal out of kindness, but you would just be lying to yourself.

What was there to like about you? You thought, tightening your grip on your hands as you struggled to find your words. Everything he described you felt so out of place, so different from who you were on the inside. It didn’t sound like he was talking about you. He must have fallen in love with the personality you wanted to create. His confession weighed heavily on your heart. You weren’t that kind and yet he kept rambling about how much he liked you. It felt uncomfortable.

You pressed your thumb against the edge of your hand, “I. . . I’m not interested in dating someone right now. I’m sorry. I can’t accept your confession.”

You watched as his expression fell, the joy and happiness that his eyes carried were wiped away by your words. His attitude quickly changed from hopeful to disappointed. He folded his arms and took a step back, his eyes staring down at his shoes. “Do you. . . like someone else?”

His voice cracked a bit as he fought back small tears, “You like Sohma-san don’t you?”

The grey-haired boy stiffened, tightening his fists. He frowned at the boy’s accusations, finding it strangely untrue. He pressed his back against the wall next to the door, listening to the dark-haired boy continue speaking.

He looked up to you with a broken expression, his eyes trying to focus on you, “I’ve always had a feeling that maybe you were interested in him. . . You’ve been talking to him more often this year so. . .”

“I was hoping that I would have a chance but. . . it seems like Sohma-san beat me to it!” His laugh was fake, his words trembling as much as his hands as he turned away from you. You felt your heart clench and swell with pain. Your eyes softened at him as you reached out with your hand but slowly dropped it. “I guess I got rejected. . . It’s fine! You must be pretty busy right now so I’ll get out of your hair! Thanks for listening to me (L/n)-san!”

Before you could stop him from leaving, he already threw the door open and slammed it shut behind him. You silently gulped, a hurt expression forming on your face as you slowly dropped back down to your seat. You ran your (s/c) hand through your hair, squeezing and pulling on it as you bit down on your lip in frustration. You wanted to tell him that you and Yuki were just friends, but he unexpectedly ran out of the door before you could get a single word out.

As you stayed stationary at your seat, the dark-haired boy stared at Yuki, the two of them making eye contact. The boy’s eyes were slightly teary, the edges of them were also red, presumably from him scratching. He quickly snapped his head away from him, refusing to look at Yuki for any longer as he quietly walked through the halls. The grey-haired boy frowned, standing outside of the door as he stared down at the floor.

If you were to like him. . . what would he do?

The thought of it made him bite the bottom of his lip, the pieces of his heart becoming slightly swollen as his hands trembled. He didn’t want to think about it, and neither did you. The two of you were locked in two separate worlds, barely overlapping each other at the center. He didn’t want you to like him. He squeezed his arm as his eyes quivered. He didn’t want you to like him. . . He wouldn’t be able to handle it. . .

. . . But what if you did?

He shook his head, trying to erase those thoughts as he slowly slid open the door. You were leaning over your notebook, your pen still tapping against the table but your legs shook anxiously. He carefully walked closer to you, forcing a smile on his face.

“Good afternoon (L/n)-san,” Yuki greeted, standing in front of you as he smiled. You looked up from your notebook, dropping your pen down as he tilted his head towards you. “Sorry for having you wait for me.

He let out a small hum as he tilted his head slightly to the side, giving you an innocent expression, “Did you do anything over the weekend?” He asked, trying to strike a small conversation with you.

You looked up at him with an expression of surprise and confusion. You don’t remember Yuki greeting you this late into the day. There was something about him that felt slightly different. His grey eyes looked much more anxious than they were the other day. He slowly dropped his arm to his side, pulling up a chair across from you. You weren’t sure if your eyes were lying to you or not, but he looked somewhat somber today.

“What do you mean?” You stared at him with a bewildered look before catching yourself, “A-Ah, you meant the other day. I spent the weekends’. . .” You trailed off. You darted your eyes away from him as he stood there patiently.

You pressed your lips together apprehensively, a small bead of sweat forming at the base of your neck as you glanced away from him. Would it be weird if you told him that you did nothing over the weekend? It feels like he was expecting an interesting answer like, ‘I went to an amusement park!’ or ‘I went out with my friends for karaoke!’ You internally groaned at your thoughts, looking back at them in disgust. If you were to talk about something he didn’t know, would it make the conversation awkward? You nervously began blinking multiple times as he looked back at you, still anticipating your answer

You let out an anxious chuckle. “The weekends’. . . er. . .” You nervously scratched the side of your cheek, “studying?”

He gave you an amused smile, laughing slightly at your nervous tone, “You spent the entire weekend studying?”

“T-That’s right,” you forced a smile, “I wanted to make sure I memorized everything before our next test.”

“You’ve always been hardworking,” he comments, squeezing the side of his arm as he looked at you with his grey eyes. He quietly stared at you, watching as you continued working through your papers.

You had this strange, dull appearance in your eyes. Although they were quite beautiful, they held very little light, almost as if you were cloaked in an aura of despair. He wondered if the boy’s confession from earlier dampened your mood.

He brushed through his grey locks of hair, silently staring at you. Even though his trip to the inn with Tohru and his family was supposed to be somewhat relaxing, he couldn’t shake off his thoughts about you. You’ve only talked for around a week and yet he had this strange desire to know you better. Even though you called each other friends, you still referred to each other with the same classroom respectfulness. You would still talk stiffly with him, your body becoming slightly fidgety and tense. There was this aura of distance that he could feel by just simply being near you. He wondered if the distant look you had was his projection.

. . . “You’re kind and you always try to support others. You make the best food in Home Economics and when you smile. . . it looks good on you!”

He pressed his lips together, his smile faltering. The muted (e/c) colors in your eyes sent shivers down his spine. You’ve always been quite cool to him. You drew back the strands of (h/c) hair from your face, your rosy lips glistening underneath the light as you diligently worked. He silently gawked at you, capturing your figure in his mind.

You looked cool, he thought. You always had this aura of calmness and professionalism in public. He has rarely seen you lose your cool and it made him slightly envious. Unlike Kyo who was constantly unaware of his surroundings, you seemed too aware of it. You would lower your voice and raise it when the tides called for it. However, you seldom backed down from a challenge. This was one of your smaller traits that he noticed about you. Even when you had several proposals for a Cooking Contest in Home Economics, you never once declined their offers. Perhaps it was just your pride giving you the confidence but he found that endearing about you. Although, he wasn’t the only one who thought the same things.

Your eyes softened slightly, your thoughts overwhelmed by doubt and frustration. He shined so brilliantly that you wondered if it was worth standing by his side in class. Everything he does looks so clean and precise. He was calculative at times of the day. His posture was slightly relaxed in the face of danger. The more you listed all the good things about him, it only made you feel even more inferior to him. You lowered your gaze, focusing too hard on your thoughts. You knew better than anyone else that you were resistant to change. Several years of the same nightmare, the same routine, the same speech, and thoughts. . .

You were so boring, you thought.

You frowned as you glanced up at Yuki, his eyes drawn towards the window. His lips were softly tinted with pink while his eyelashes were long and slightly curled. There was something about the way he brushed through his grey locks of hair that made you feel awkward inside. How could someone be so attractive? You asked yourself. You flinched in realization, were you falling for Yuki? You internally shook your head, trying to get those thoughts away from you. You didn’t want to believe in the boy’s words but they were creeping up on you, burying themselves into the back of your mind. You tilted your head up at him, your frown growing deeper.

You didn’t like Yuki in that way. It would be selfish of you to like him. You nervously tapped your pen against the desk. You wouldn’t describe this feeling you have towards Yuki as something related to love. It felt more bitter and disappointing, almost like a rotten apple.

You sighed underneath your breath, already knowing the true answer to your thoughts. You knew that instead of feeling love or attraction towards the boy, you felt a bit envious of him at his natural beauty and charisma. He hardly had any noticeable flaws on the outside and he was always ready to help others in need, perhaps even more often than you had in your entire life. These bitter thoughts swarmed your head, polluting your mind and distracting you from the current situation.

You exhaled, trying to slow your breathing and relax your shoulders. Nevertheless, you diverted your attention away, trying to rid yourself of these thoughts. You pressed the back of your hand to your cheek, feeling it heat up against your skin.

“I think you’re quite cool (L/n)-san,” Yuki commented, resting his chin against the back of his hand as he pulled out his notes. “You always seem to know what to say and do.”

“Y-You’re too nice Sohma-san.” You responded, tucking the strand of hair behind your ear. A small frown appeared on your face as he began to write into his notes. You mumbled underneath your breath, a bitter taste forming on the tip of your tongue, “. . . I’m sure that you met a lot of people like that.”

“But, it’s true. You’ve always been so calm and collected,” Yuki’s eyes softened as you tighten your grip on your pencil.

“You’re good at Home Economics as well. I’m not very good at handling things in the kitchen or cleaning up but you make it look so easy.” He slowly closed his eyes, pausing his writing, “To be honest. . . It makes me feel a bit envious.”

“That’s. . . That’s not true.” You stopped writing, your nails burrowing themselves into the plastic shell of your pencil as your (e/c) eyes trembled. You could feel your cheeks become hotter as you stared down at your writing. “I’m. . . Those things. . . are so small and useless. . .”

“They aren’t as important,” You add, “if anyone is cool. . . It would be you.”

“. . . I’m jealous of you Sohma-san,” You whispered, lowering your gaze as he tightened his grip around his arm. “I’m. . . jealous.”

“When you talk in front of everyone, you look intimidating and cool. You have this nice aura around you and you’re kind to everyone. It makes me feel like I'm just not good enough for someone as nice as you.”

Yuki winced, his eyes drawn to your speaking figure, “You make everything look so easy and effortless. . . When you fill out council papers you always look so focused and whenever you turn work in, it sounds really good. You rarely go to tutoring and you’re always willing to help everyone else when they struggle.”

“You smile a lot to your other classmates. . . but. . .” You stopped yourself for a moment, “it looks like a facade to your classmates.”

“You say that you’re happy. . . even though you look so. . . lonely.” His eyes widened as you parted your lips. His smile and eyes remind you so much of yourself, it hurts. It hurts so much to think that there is someone in this world so undeserving of pain and deprived of love that it makes you sick inside. Your body began to tremble slightly, your lips quivered as you struggled to find the right words.

“Even though you’re cool on the outside. . . you're a warm person inside, you must care a lot about people you love.”

Yuki could see the small tears pooling at the corner of your eyes, noticing how you tried to hide the faint sight of weakness. You bit the bottom of your lip, feeling slightly exposed at the moment. Your eyes widened as you turned to him, realizing that you blurted out your imaginative thoughts. He stared back at you with slightly tinted cheeks as you quivered under his gaze, feeling extremely embarrassed in the situation.

Yuki pressed his hand against his cheek, feeling the temperature rise as he repeated the scene of you talking in his head. He never had anyone tell him that he was cool, genuinely cool in the way he wanted to be seen. . . You looked really cute when you blushed. He quickly shook his head, ridding himself of those strange thoughts and trying to focus on what's in front of him. It was wrong of him to think of these things about you, especially after what happened just a few minutes prior.

“I-I see. . .” He stuttered, his ears turning slightly pink.

“A-Ah! I-I meant!” You stuttered, raising yourself from your seat as your cheeks became flushed with humiliation, “I meant. . .” You trailed off, looking down at your trembling hands.

You were so caught up in your thoughts you have forgotten to be more aware of your surroundings. You thought Yuki had said that in your mind and this was all just an imagination, but it was real and you just blurted out something embarrassing. You could taste the bitterness spread across the length of your tongue, coating the top as you remembered your earlier experience. You could feel your heart begin to tighten. The guilt that had formed earlier was slowly seeping into your bones, spreading itself across your body as your shoulders slacked.

You stopped yourself when you felt his hand brush against the small droplet. He wiped away the tears, smiling at you with a soft expression. You felt your cheeks grow hotter, your heart nearly jumping out of your throat as you looked at him with your trembling (e/c) eyes.

“You look really cute when you’re embarrassed,” He comments, smiling at you, “It brings back memories to the first time you came to our house.”

“H-Hah. . .” You chuckled, darting your eyes away from him as you sat back down, “You like to tease other people don’t you. . .”

His smile became wider, “Maybe it’s just with you.”

“But. . .” Yuki started, letting the small droplet of water fade from his skin, “you're a warm person too.”

You dropped your pen, your mind drawing itself farther away from reality as it rolled itself off of the desk. Your (e/c) eyes shook as you stared at him, his grey eyes giving you the same look of understanding and comfort. His expression sent shivers down your spine.
