NOVEMBER 30, xx

We’re in Vietnam, celebrating our anniversary and the Lantern Festival per se. Guy suggested that we should celebrate our anniversary somewhere memorable and a place that I haven’t been yet, so here we are.

I only know a bit of the festival and an additional information from Azuma-san, “They decorate the town with lanterns for the event and people wear Ao Dai, traditional Vietnamese clothing.”

--

It was already night and we see people gathering and lighting up their lanterns. They released the lanterns onto the river with water that beautifully reflects the hanging lights of surrounding buildings. It was breathtaking.

Guy called me, and I turned my back, seeing him offering his hand. He stood up, still offering his hand, and said, “May I have this dance, my princess?”

Bewildered, I quickly snapped back to reality. I gave my hand to him shyly, and he wrapped his other hand onto my waist. It was a spectacular view; the lanterns are floating, surrounding us as we danced under the moonlight and seeing my loved one smiling at me.

This was the best anniversary ever~!

SEPTEMBER 27

12:00 am

*Juza’s Birthday alarm*

The ringtone continues as you are in the middle of baking. You hurriedly set the bowl you are holding aside, as you search for your ringing phone to stop the alarm.

“There, I’m almost done. I hope he likes this!” you said to yourself. You set another alarm to prepare yourself before meeting your boyfriend, surprising him with homemade cookies as one of your gifts to him. Setting an alarm titled Cafe and Movie date.

“Okay. Time to sleep in a bit once I finish these cookies!” you ecstatically said.

9:00 am

You see Juza waiting for you in front of the newly opened cafe, called “Eggs ‘n Things Shinsaibashi”. You waved at him from afar to be noticed and walked towards him. He noticed the one you’re holding, a box wrapped with gray-checkered cloth. He asked what’s inside, but you told that you’ll reveal it to him once the both of you are inside.

*Inside the cafe*

The waitress took off after you placed your orders. Now the two of you have time for each other. You placed the box at the top of the table with ease. “Open it, Ju-chan! It’s my birthday gift for you! Although I know that this may not be enough, but I hope you will like it!” you said with an honest yet sad tone and smiled at him. He unwraps the cloth and opens the box. His face gleamed as you look at him, smiling. He took a piece of cookie and took a bite. He was about to get another cookie but he looked at you saying, “It’s sweet & yummy, and everything you make is more than enough for me. As long as I see you smiling, and...you’re sweet too.” he mumbled the last words, but you heard it, eyes widened, smiling after you heard it.

*at the Cinema* *end of the movie*

“So what do you think of the movie, Ju-chan?” you asked in a light tone. While the both of you are walking, you looked at Juza, who’s not responding to you for a second. Juza looked down to the floor, continuing to walk. He looked ambivalent to you and that his shoulders were curved.

Is something the matter with Juza? He doesn’t look good. You thought to yourself.

He sighed and said, “The movie is great. Looking at the actors, I can observe that they’re good. No mistakes that I can see. Even their expressions were clear… I would also like to be a fine actor…” he mumbled to himself loud enough that you can hear. He noticed someone was blocking him, wondering who it was. He looked up and sees you. You blocked his way, showing an upset face. You scooped his face, slapping him lightly at both sides of his cheeks. You wanted to knock some sense into him, so this was the only choice you had. “Juza, in shooting, they don’t do it in just one take. Do you remember what Tenma said? They shoot several times just to get one scene right, without an audience. While in stage plays, you do it in one take with audiences. It’s a matter of practice. I have always watched every single play that you and your troupe did! You have improved so well, Juza! Remember that, and I also believe that your Troupe knows that you have improved drastically. I can see that you’re having fun on stage. Believe in me. Know that I’m always here as your number one supporter! You also have everyone in MANKAI company. Remember your wish, okay?” you smiled happily at him, almost crying that you can’t bear to see Juza sad again. Juza the entire time was shocked and just stood still, looking at you. He instinctively hugged you, resting his head on your shoulder. Surprised by his action at first, you naturally replied by hugging him back. “Let’s stay like this for a while.” Juza said, mumbling. You replied, “Sure.”

The both of you walked, holding hands on your way to the Mankai dorms, but suddenly, your phone rang, and it’s from your father, saying it’s an emergency. You consulted Juza about this; he said it was fine, as it’s an emergency. You apologized to Juza, but he understands the situation. You & Juza waited for your chauffeur to come pick you up. You thought to yourself, of all the time we have, why does it have to be now? You can’t help but be sad and frustrated at the same time, but you brush it off in the end.

Juza goes back to Mankai dorms. The moment he opened the door, the guys & the director greeted him. He told them he’ll leave the box first at his room and join them soon.

*At Banri & Juza’s room*

When he sat down at the sofa and unwrapped it again to separate the cloth, something fell. It was a letter. He picked it up and saw his name in front of the letter. His curiosity got him so he opened the letter and reads it..

“Oh, it’s what (y/n) said earlier.” He smiled earnestly after he read the letter. He mumbles to himself saying, “Never thought someone would love me despite how I look. I’m glad I have (y/n), my endless supporter. Thank you, (y/n). I should put this up in this room as a reminder for me.” He stood up and pinned it somewhere in his desk, then left the room to celebrate his birthday with everyone in the MANKAI dorms.

SEPTEMBER 20, XX

It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, I searched for Hisoka wondering where is he sleeping again, to my surprise, I saw him at our living room. I told him countless times to sleep at his room. I came closer to wake him up by booping his nose with my finger while he’s asleep.. 

He is just too cute and unguarded when I am looking up-close. Until he grunted a little, then I giggled, he suddenly grabbed my wrist lightly, I was shock then he mumbled something, “Don’t go.” as he opened his eyes slowly and added, “Can I sleep on your lap?” I was a bit startled and sighed, eventually gave in. So I sat down at the sofa and replaced his stuffed toy. I always ran my fingers on his soft hair, though he doesn’t mind me doing it, realizing myself that I’m like a mom, looking at him happily.

So this is how we spend our lazy Sunday afternoon.

SEPTEMBER 9, XX

*2 days before his birthday*

Mornings like this on any other day in the Mankai dorms, realizing it’s already Autumn as you looked at the date on your phone, sipping your sweet coffee. It’s 6am in the morning and you’re the only one who is awake. You know that Banri would come down in any minute, so you made his coffee the way he usually prefers it, on the bitter side.

You scan through the monthly magazine to look for inspiration on what’s trending this season. As you saw the animal print outfits that looked gorgeous on the models, you paused for a second and heard Banri greeting you a good morning and is about to snuggle you from behind, but you blocked it by raising the magazine up to his face, serving it as your shield as you look at him above you and that made him stop. That made him growl, but you completely ignored it and cut him off saying, “Take me to where you thrift later! I want to try this outfit! Also, I made you a coffee, drink it before it gets cold!” you pointed to what the model is wearing. He looked down at you and saw your sparkling big eyes then pondered, “Now that I think about it, I have never seen you wearing animal prints, but if you want to try...” he points at himself with his thumb. “heh, guess it’s my time to introduce you to animal prints!” he said as he smirked.

*At the thrift store* 

The bells chime as Banri opened the door of the thrift store he goes to and a middle-aged man greets, saying, “It’s been a while, kid.”

“Old man! Yeah, it’s been a while, I missed coming here... hm? where’s that guy?” he asked as he looks around the store. The old man chuckled and said “He ran an errand for me at the town, do you need something from him?” “Send my regards to him, old man!” they both laughed, you see them having a mini conversation, like a father-son would, it’s wholesome just looking at them. “This is (y/n), my girlfriend.” you bowed and smiled at the owner, as you greeted each other.

Banri leads the way to the women’s section. Together you look for animal print outfits that will suit you. You trust your boyfriend as he’s considered a “fashionista” of the Mankai Company. He picked several clothes, and you tried all of them, after trying them all out, you picked a few that you both liked.

You offered to be the one to pay for it, but Banri insisted that he will pay for it, he gave his card and told you he will go to the men’s section to look for some outfits. You nodded and went to the counter. The owner of the store is actually the cashier, as he’s the only one running the small local business. The owner looked at you and Banri from afar, then looks at the clothes you picked. He smiled and whispered to you, “Actually, we have a couple outfit for this, and the size just fits him perfectly, I picked this outfit for Banri since he loves wearing these kinds. Do you want to see it?” he asked as he smiled. You nodded and waited for him over the counter as he goes to the Men’s section. Good thing Banri’s on the accessories section, far from the said section. The owner came back and put the clothes in the paper bag and gave it to you. “I wish the best of you two happiness.” he said as he gave the paper bag to you. It was a close call as Banri called your name behind you, causing you to be surprised. Banri took the paper bag and holds your hand on the other like a couple, Banri waved goodbye to the owner and started walking, you turned your head to look at him and bid goodbye, he just winked while smiling and waves.

*Banri’s birthday*

Pondering if Omi would not really mind as a third wheel on your date today with Banri since you requested to do an outdoor photoshoot the whole day, he assured you it is fine and said that he would like to practice shoots again. While the rest of the guys in Mankai dorms prepare for his birthday. You mentioned to them that three of you will return at the peak of the dusk. As the surprise will start, the moment you three are home. You are wearing a black wool turtleneck sweater and a slim midi silhouette leopard print skirt that sits flatteringly and accentuates your natural waist, finishing with a pair of black ankle boots topped with a thin golden necklace, and a nude trench coat with the same length of your skirt.

Watching the autumn leaves fall from the tree while you wait for Banri at the inner courtyard. You hear a familiar voice calling out your name; you turned your back to see who it was, and it was Banri, wearing a Black Label Merino wool turtleneck sweater, wearing a necklace to contrast everything and black chinos slim-fit pants, finishing with a pair of black leather derby shoes and a leather leopard print turned-down collar casual jacket. Making the both of you as a couple *with taste* You stood up, astounded by Banri’s new look. Banri looked at you from head to toe and said, “You look decent as always.” you glared at him. “I’m joking! I said you look beautiful... as always.” he averted his eyes, looking away shyly. Hearing a rare compliment coming from him, you can’t help but smile. Naturally, you complimented his look today saying, “You look.. charming as always~” you turned your back at him and start to walk, Banri followed you and teases you, saying that he didn’t hear that quite right. You turned your back about to pinch one of his arms to make him stop, but he dodged.

*Sunset at the park*

“Happy Birthday, Banri! I’m sorry if it’s just a simple date, doing photoshoots while on our date.” you felt somehow down, confessing. Banri lifted your chin lightly and said, “There’s nothing to worry about, (y/n). I got to spend my birthday with you, that’s more than enough for me.” He leaned closer and kissed you. Your eyes were open the entire time until he let go and looked at you. He smirked and put his left arm over your waist, keeping you close to him, then you whispered, “You know, Omi’s still here. This is embarrassing.” Banri looked back and see Omi tripping the shutter of his camera.

“Don’t mind me, just taking photos here, continue you lovebirds.” then Omi chuckled for a bit and a sudden idea hit his head saying, “Why not the both of you try applying as couple models? You guys might even be featured at a monthly magazine!”

You and Banri looked at each other at the same time, then Banri spoke first, “If she wants to, I’m down anytime and anywhere.” he smiled and held your hand. “I think it also suits you to be a model.” you said, meaning it’s a yes coming from you. His eyes widened and became suddenly bashful in front of you. Averting his eyes away from you, Omi saw it and teases Banri as they walk going home to the Mankai dorms and you happily followed them.

SEPTEMBER 4, XX

This was the day that someone discovered me by accident.

I’m not like any other students that go home straight after their classes. I’m that student who goes straight to the abandoned music room of our school. The instruments were already provided and barely touched there and I often clean the room, even my teacher gave me the keys only to return it after I use the room.

It’s 4pm in the afternoon as the rays shine through the window and curtain, highlighting the piano. I couldn’t help but be drawn somehow, so I sat in the piano stool and started playing some keys not realizing that I’m already playing my usual piece accompanied my a melody.

“What’s a heartbeat (what’s a heartbeat) without heartache (without heartache)

What’s a hurricane (what’s a hurricane) without the rain (without the rain)

What’s the moon without the stars (moon without the stars)

That’s how I feel when we’re apart-”

I stopped as soon as I heard the squeak of the door and see a guy. I quickly stood up, about to leave but he interrupted saying, “I’m sorry for barging in, I heard your voice from afar but, I know a little about other genres and I’m more into post and progressive rock, but I would like you to sing more. Your voice is mesmerizing.”

I was taken aback by his sudden compliment, but for some reason he made me calm, so I offered him to sit beside me and play with the piano.

“My name is Masumi.” he said, smiling. We talked and happily sang till dusk. And that is how I met my first fan.

AUGUST 30, XX

You scheduled everything from the list you are holding on, to what you and Muku will do on your theme park date. Hoping that this day goes well.

You saw Muku waiting in front of the theme park’s gate. You happily waved your hand from a distance, hoping he could see you, he sees you and you ran toward him, holding a paper-bag and gives it to him. He tilted his head and accepts it.

“Open it! ~” you said in excitement. He opens it and sees a lot of shoujo mangas that you bought.

“Happy Birthday, Mukkun! I hope you like one of my gifts!” you said with joy.

“Woah, this is a lot. Thank you (y/n)! I’ll read them all and let you know about it!” he said in a bashful tone.

*At the theme park*

We walked towards one of the shooting games to win a large stuffed animal. Muku volunteers first and hoping that he can win the game, but after many attempts, he gives up.

“You only have one turn left, Sir!” said the staff.

You see Muku getting nervous and intimidated, hoping he could get the 1st prize, you gently touched his hand where he is holding the toy gun, asking him if you could try it, he handed over the toy gun and cheers for you. Unbeknownst to him, you practice shooting range during your free time. You tried and succeeded on the first go. You turned your back to see Muku with sparkling eyes and a wide smile, saying, “WAHH~! You’re so cool, (y/n)!” You can’t help but smile back to his astonishment.

*At the Ferris Wheel*

It’s already sunset, everything is going great - until the both of you got stuck at the very top. For thirty whole minutes.

“Oh no, stuck again. Come to think of it, this brings back memories.” you said as you looked from afar, looking at the orange skies on top of the city. Muku giggled as he remembered the incident too.

The silent atmosphere/tension between you two lasted for a minute, got no topic to talk about, you were about to talk to break the tension but got cut off by Muku,

“(y/n), um, thank you for today! I-I really enjoyed it! Every day with you is fun!” he said in a sheepish tone.

Seeing him smile and the sunset’s rays hit his face perfectly, highlighting his smile ever so brightly. He reaches his left hand to hold your right hand resting on your lap while holding your ice cream on the other hand. Touched by how sweet Muku is to you, at the right moment; sunset’s up, both of you stuck in the malfunctioning Ferris wheel, and are holding ice creams that’s about to melt. He is about to kiss the back of your hand like a prince, but hated to break the moment between you two. You stopped Muku and pointed at his ice cream that’s melting already.

Muku lets go of your hand and frantically licks the portion that’s about to fall off. Seeing him being flustered again like he used to, made you giggle and soon after, he giggled too.

The Ferris wheel moved again. You held a sigh under your breath as the both of you eat your melting ice cream and enjoy the sunset.

Not realizing the time, tou hurriedly took off dragging Muku for the said planned birthday surprise at the dorms. Not halfway through your destination, one of your heels broke, that caused you to trip sideways, you weren’t fast enough to react and Muku instinctively pulled you to his arms, hugging you, facing his chest. You looked up at him as your eyes met his, for seconds, and suddenly realizing the atmosphere, both of you broke free and flustered all over the place. After some time that the two of you calmed down, Muku offers his hand to you and said, “Let’s go home, my princess. I will carry you till we get to the dorms.” You pondered for seconds thinking it was embarrassing but end up agreeing to Muku’s suggestion. He suddenly grabbed you in a princess-carry way and started walking.

“P-princess carry??! Piggyback is fine with me, really!” you hastily said.

“No, I like it this way, you are not heavy, and… so I can steal glances at you.” he said earnestly.

Out of embarrassment, you buried your face in his shoulder and grinning like a gullible kid. Not knowing that Muku is also smiling at you.

AUGUST 19, XX

I have Astraphobia (fear of thunder/lightning). Tsuzuru doesn’t know this yet as I don’t like to bring this up and I don’t want to look weak infront of him.

It was a rainy, gloomy afternoon at my place. We were about to go out, but the rain heavily poured down. There was a weather forecast yesterday, and I forgot all about it. So I told him we should wait for the rain to at least stop, then we can go to the dorms.

It was nerve-racking to let someone discover that I’m at my weakest point. He was near the window; I told him to not get close to there as he might get hit or something. Just when I was about to come close to him, there was a sudden flash and my heart felt that it fell to the floor, unknowingly I sat on the floor covering my ears with my hands and shutting my eyes, trembling like a kid. Tsuzuru reacted fast. He held both my hands gently, asking me what was wrong with a worried tone. Then I heard the thunder outside, it was near. My heart was pounding like crazy but Tsuzuru tries to calm me down, he suddenly hugged me, caressing my back, trying to calm me down, I felt safe in his arms, and my nervousness gradually faded.

AUGUST 16, XX

Sakuya and I told each other ghost stories we know of. Soon, we ran out of stories to tell, so I roam around his room and saw a picture frame of him. I was squealing over a picture of Sakuya back when he was still a kid. I told him how so cute and a precious little kid he was. I couldn’t get over it, to the point I want to keep it for myself, but I can’t take it as this is the only memento he has. I turned to look at him and saw him sad. I knew his past as he told me before. I have always wanted to tell him this wholeheartedly and now is the time:

“We love you, you have a new big happy family that will take care and look after you. You have the Mankai Company and me. It must have been tough, but we are always here for you, you are still and always will be our precious ball of sunshine that emits rays that helps us move forward. Always remember that, Sakuya.” He paused for a second and solemnly smiled at me. “I really am lucky to have you and the Mankai Company with me.” 

I was about to cry in his stead, but I hugged him to hide myself weeping, he caress’ my back and wrapped me around, sharing a blanket with him.

AUGUST 15, XX

Homare called me early in the morning to read to me his poems he made throughout the night, I got worried that he didn’t got any sleep, but he’s always like this, except for the call, it’s a first that he was the first one to start in calling me. He said he wants to meet in a coffee shop that we usually go to.

After a minute walk there, I saw Homare sitting in the corner, writing and solemnly smiling. I have never seen him smile like that. It caught me by surprise.. I wonder what drives him, being so passionate every day.

I was in front of him, but he didn’t notice me as he was too occupied, so I took a photo of him.

After I got a photo of him, he finally noticed me, he gestured for me to sit by pulling the chair like a butler would do and tells me he’ll order in our stead. He is a proper gentleman, alright. I couldn’t help but look at him over the counter. I also noticed that he didn’t ask for my coffee, hoping that he ordered was something good.

As we placed the orders on the table, I got surprised and looked at him as he knew exactly what I wanted. He just looked and smiled at me for a minute. He must have noticed and noted it all. He knew my order by heart and I’m flattered. I asked him what drives him so passionate recently and his answer was “Tu, you changed me, thank you and te amo.”. I paused for a minute, then smiled at him. “te quoque amo.” I said back to him softly, looking at him. It must have been tough, the things he had gone through. But I’m here for him now. I listened to him the entire afternoon reciting his poems while savoring our food and beverages. I would not mind afternoons like this with him.

It’s nice to see him moving forward, and I will move forward as well... in indignatione mea. :)

AUGUST 6, XX

Muku and I went on top of that hill we used to go to, to catch some fresh air and have a barbecue.

He offered a bouquet of beautiful Chinese Bellflowers that he just picked, and I gladly took it. Admiringly looking at them.

“(y/n), want to make a flower crown for each other?” he happily asked, and I agreed.

We were laughing, playing tag and did lots of activities, enjoying the day like there’s no tomorrow. We didn’t even noticed the time until we saw the sunset, then I realized something and said to him, “Come to think of it we are like newly weds dressed in all white, having a picnic on top of the hill, and enjoying the breeze.” I turned to look at Muku and see him flustered all over the place, waving his arms in a panic that caused me to laugh and seconds later, he was laughing too. He unconsciously touched my hand, resting his hand on top of mine. It startled him at first, but he didn’t move his hand away. He even firmly grasped my hand and flushingly smiled at me.

AUGUST 5, XX

Yesterday, I bought a box of sweets that Juza might just like and placed it in the cupboard. It’s supposed to be a surprise treat for him, but when I opened the cupboard this morning and opened the box, it was all gone. I bet he spontaneously ate them all secretly in the middle of the night. I guess he liked it since there’s nothing left in the box, but I want to know his opinion about them.

Juza asked me to take a walk with him around Veludo Way. It was also my perfect chance to ask him about the sweets he ate earlier.

I was about to speak but Juza cut me off saying, “I’m sorry I ate the sweets you bought in the middle of the night, I was hungry.” I can feel that he’s sincerely sorry and you know that feeling that I want to hug him whenever he’s sad? Yeah, I suddenly hugged him, facing him, telling him it was all fine and explained it all to him. He felt relieved and hugged me while patting me on the head. He always smells good and soft, I could just melt in his arms. ʕ๑￫ᴥ￩๑ʔ He treated me to a sweet stop he often goes to. He tends to eat absentmindedly, I called his attention, and told him there is something at the bottom of his lips, he felt embarrassed and pffft, I took a photo of him, he’s just too cute and cool here at the same time!

AUGUST 4, XX

We ran out of whipped cream, but Omi suggested that we make a homemade whipped cream instead. The cream is for the cupcakes we baked, and it will serve as their snack here at the dorms. Here’s a photo of him whisking the cream.

I do not know why he was smiling back then, but I knew it at the end. He called me to come and taste it. He swiped a cream using his pointing finger and said, “Here, taste it.” I was astounded at first, but I complied in the end since we are in a relationship and no one else is around. I was about to come close at him, but his hand slipped and the whipped cream was already on my cheek. “Oops, sorry, my hand slipped.” he said.

“Hey! You just did that on purpose!” I exclaimed.

And you know what he did? He gently cupped my face suddenly and licked it! “It will be just a waste to wipe it.” he giggled and added, “hmm.. not bad.” I was flustered, and I had to pay him back so we ended up playing with the homemade whipped cream. Oh, but we made another one, no worries!

Honestly, everything he makes is delicious.

AUGUST 3, XX

Azuma came by to my place right after their rehearsals to help me with dinner. How rare to see him forget to change and is in his costume plus in a braided hairstyle. It definitely suits him, I couldn’t help but took a shot of him while he’s peeling a carrot. There is just this aura around him I can’t seem to explain.

“The night is long. Want me to serve you tonight? Or perhaps... serve me? fufu~” he said that line to me and I knew EXACTLY what it meant! It made me flustered, but I knew he was just teasing me, hmph! You win this round, but I’ll definitely win next time! Hit me with your best shot, Azuma!
