You did such a gratee work on my first request (honestly SURPASSED my expectations!!) Soo im back for moreee!......Idk if you have any other request rn but if you do feel free to take your timee and focus on them first~
(established relationship MC x Subaruuu)
We all know that Subaru has empathy towards anomalies,right? Soooo what iff MC and Ssubaru got into an argument because of itt?? ( ・∇・)
MC and Suba encountered a seemingly harmless anomalie during a mission.
Suba dosent want to capture or destroy it believing it is harmless but MC has a gut feeling that the anomalie isn't as harmless as it appears. They get into an argument (angry Subaa♡) and eventually MC reluctantly agrees to let the little guy go, on thier way back to the express train the anomalie followed them in and that's where the facade fell and it attacked MC. with Suba's guard down he was unable to react fast enough, MC was able to dodge just far enough to avoid a critical hit(still got hitt! We love an injured MC)......blahblahblah Subaru defeated the anomalie and him and MC apologized and made up!♡♡♡
Fighting with Subaru
An abandoned former anomalous institute.
They once advertised themselves as one of the greatest anomalous research facilities in the world. Safe environments. Ethical treatments. Goals of Preservation.
Yet all around you are rusted cages. Large padlocks. Used needles and shattered vials.
You expected Jabberwock. Not something that reminds you of Ultio.
Subaru stands unusually still. His fists clenched white.
You know what he’s seeing.
Lyca. In a dark cell. Cold walls. Two years.
Two years of being treated like something dangerous before anyone ever gave him a chance.
Your chest tightens as you rub his back to soothe him.
Ultimately, you decide to carry the search alone to give Subaru some time. The quicker you leave, the better for him.
You check each room and cage carefully.
Empty. Empty. Empty.
Until–
You open another door.
A putrid smell hits you immediately.
The heavy scent of blood.
Yet there’s not a single bit of red in sight.
In fact, the room is spotless. It’s clean. Too clean for an abandoned building. Too clean for this putrid smell.
A tiny squeak interrupts your thoughts. You head toward the sound cautiously. Behind a fallen cabinet sits something small. A plant anomaly.
It looks familiar so you pull out the file and flip through some pages.
The image matches.
“Exterminate immediately” Is stamped on the left corner.
Strange. You’ve never seen this before. Usually Darkwick prefers containment.
But when you lowered the papers, the anomaly stared back at you. Calmly.
It doesn’t have any claws or visible teeth. It’s even small enough to fit in your hands. Anyone would argue that it’s harmless. That it couldn’t hurt a fly.
And yet, even after multiple raids, it has survived. Out in the open.
Its eyes move down slowly. Studying you. It only stops at the scrape on your knee. At the little blood that seeps out.
Your stomach twists.
You’ve been in enough missions to know.
Something feels wrong.
You step forward.
“I’m sorry,” you whisper.
You draw your blade.
You raise your hand–
Shling.
Subaru stands before you. Holding your arm.
“...Suba?”
His hand trembles against yours.
“What are you doing?”
You blink.
“What?”
“Has it attacked you?” HIs voice comes out thin. “Has it threatened you?”
“No, but look.” You hold up the file. “It says exterminate immediately.”
He glances at the paper once, then drops his gaze.
“So just because it says that, you were going to do it?”
“Subaru–”
“We don’t know anything about it yet.”
"Yeah, but don't you smell the blood too?"
Subaru doesn't answer, he simply kneels down.
“You need proof? I’ll show you.”
The moment Subaru’s eyes land on the anomaly, it starts shaking. As if the temperature dropped suddenly. Like it’s scared all of a sudden.
He reaches for it.
“Subaru, wait.”
But he doesn’t stop.
“Talnandio.”
After a few seconds, Subaru’s eyes snap open. His face goes pale.
You immediately crouch to steady him.
His fingers curl. His voice cracks. “...They hurt it.”
Your stomach sinks. Because you know that look.
He isn’t seeing the anomaly anymore. He’s seeing Lyca.
“It’s just…scared.”
You know where he’s coming from. You've seen it all with your own eyes. But that icky feeling…it won’t go away.
You speak as carefully as possible. “Subaru.” He looks up. “...Your stigma only shows fragments.”
His glare hardens. At you now.
“...What are you saying?”
You swallow.
“I’m saying neither of us know enough.” You see it in the corner of your eyes. His hands shaking into fists.
“For now, we should take it back to the Darkwick and–”
“No.” His voice shakes. “They always do the same thing. They decide something is dangerous.” His shoulders tense. “They lock it up. They don’t listen.”
He’s looking at you. But his eyes don’t feel focused.
“The institute never listens.”
Your chest tightens.
“But I’m not them.” His gaze wavers. You continue. “I trust you…But I want to trust my instincts too.”
His jaw tightens.
For a second, you think he understands.
Then– his eyes drop.
“...You think I’m wrong.”
“No.”
“You think I’m being emotional.”
“That’s not what I said!”
He stands up abruptly.
“Then why won’t you believe me?!”
You freeze. Not once has Subaru ever yelled at you like this.
He opens his mouth, lips trembling. As if he knows he’ll regret what he’s about to say.
“You’re just like them.”
This time, his words are only a whisper. And yet, they pierce right through you.
Realizing what he’s said, his face drains. His eyes widen. He looks at you. At the hurt he’s caused.
“How...How could you say that?”
You stand to your feet, tears in your eyes.
He opens his mouth. But nothing comes out.
You sigh bitterly.
“You know what? Fine.” You turn. “Do what you want.”
Subaru watches silently as you make your way to the exit.
Then he takes out his scarf. The one he usually puts around your shoulders.
And wraps the anomaly before carefully placing it into his bag.
____
In the Galaxy Express.
You sit a few seats apart from him. Arms crossed.
The argument replays in your head. The yelling. The hurt.
But you hate seeing that look on his face. Like he might burst into tears at any moment.
You knew this wasn’t either of your fault. You were given a mission with little explanation.
You wanted to protect Subaru. Subaru wanted to protect the anomaly.
He’s still holding the bag tightly against his chest.
“...MC.”
You stare out the window.
“MC, I–”
Squeak.
Your eyes snap open. The bag starts to tremble until it shakes violently.
“Subaru! Let go!”
You rip the bag out of his hands and throw it. But it’s too late.
Vines explode outward. Fabric tears into smithereans.
Subaru jumps back. But you were closer and not fast enough.
Squelch.
Sharp pain flashes through your body.
A choked gasp escapes you as you look down. A vine has torn across your side. Warm blood drips onto the floor.
Subaru stares at you with eyes full of terror. His face goes white.
It got you. Bad.
“MC!”
Subaru tries to run to you but the anomaly attacks again.
He brings out his artifact, spreading the parasol open as a shield.
The stems slam against it. Again and again.
“Just–” He yells through the barrage of attacks. “Just stay there!”
You’ve never seen him move so fast.
He dodges. Redirects every attack while making sure none reach you.
Slash.
He rips through the anomaly.
It drops to the ground.
Slash. He slices through it again. And again. Until he’s certain it’s no longer alive.
Subaru pants, staring at the limp creature for a second before turning to you.
You’re sitting against the wall. One hand pressed against your side. A pool of blood spilling out under you.
“MC!” Subaru is immediately at your side. His hands hover over you, like he’s afraid his touch will make it worse.
His breathing is more uneven than yours.
“We’re almost there.” His voice cracks. “Just hold on.”
You nod weakly.
His shoulders start shaking.
“This is all my fault…”
“Subaru…”
“I’m sorry.” His head lowers. “I’m so sorry.”
His apology disappears beneath the sound of the tracks.
“I thought I was protecting it.” Tears spill down his cheeks. A drop lands on your cheek. “But I was just protecting myself. I wanted to be right. I wanted so badly to believe it was innocent.”
He presses into the wound harder. “I kept saying nobody listened to me.” His shoulders droop even further. “But then, I didn’t listen to you. And I said such hurtful things.”
You look at him. At the tears. And how hard he’s looking at your wound.
You lift your hand and cup his face. He flinches at your touch.
“Subaru. Look at me.”
“I-I can’t.”
“Not the wound. Me.”
Slowly, he does.
You brush your thumb under his eyes.
“Subaru. It’s true. You made the wrong call.” His face crumples. “But wanting to protect someone isn’t wrong. If anything…that kindness is why I fell for you.” More tears spill down his face. “But next time…can you trust that I’m doing my best to protect you too?”
His expression softens at that.
Finally, he leans into your palm. And nods.
“...Okay.”
“And.” He looks at you attentively. “Don’t give your scarf out like that. That’s only for me.”
He lets out a tiny laugh.
You do too. Then wince.
“Ow.”
“Meow. Meow. Meow. Our next stop is Darkwick Academy.”
Subaru finally lets out a breath and presses his forehead against yours.
omg. omg. holy shit. omg. oh. my. god. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
やばすぎやろ今回のまじで
anyway this shit is gonna be longer than usual because WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
edit: shiii i got a bit too honest so uhh 🔞 mdni!!
keep in mind i have just finished reading the ep, my heart rate is still a bit elevated, and my hands are slightly shaking.
that was whole rollercoaster ngl.
oh and i took screenshots!! 😚 (i always do tho lmaoo)
yapping first.
THEY'RE ALL SO FINE WTF ALAN IS SO HUSBAND MATERIAL "Do you like meat?" HELL YEAH I DO WANT ME TASTE YOURS?? woah who said that?? 👀 AND ELIAS IS SUCH A GENTLEMAN AGHHHHH I LITERALLY SCREAMED (in my head, cause if i actually screamed the neighbors would complain; we don't want that)
AND RITSU. WHAT THE FUCK. I THOUGHT U WERE GONNA KISS US?!?!?!?! HIJKASDIHEUDN??!?!?!? like YOU PUT UR HANDS WHERE THEY ARE WHICH IS PEAK KISSING POSITION 101 AND THEN U CASUALLY MASSAGE US AND THEN A SUDDEN TRAUMA DUMP LIKE "Yes, my mother massaged the back of ears like this, on the only night when i couldn't sleep, and tears were streaming down her face. Anyways, Inspector, have a nice night 🤗" AND THEN HE LEFT. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!??!!? HELLO?!?!?!!? EXCUSE ME?!?!?!? SUMIMASEN FR?!?!?!?!?
and Taiga why did you bite eat the spoon 😭 how are u gonna digest that man 😭 im like between genuinely intrigued what's up with his digestive system and appalled at his food choice, we do know that Tai eats anomaly meat, but that means yk?? at least it's not?? metal???? but LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOT AGAIN GUYSSSS LOOK AT THE SLIVER OF HIS CHEST GODDAMN HE'S HOT. THE HAND IN THE POCKET. THE HAND SIZE DIFFERENCE OHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDD 😫😫😫
AND HAKU AND SHO. they were flirting with us left and right and MAN I LOVED IT. especially the last meeting scene between the goddess and the ghouls. Sho being like "So you're gonna choose someone that's not me, huh?" WITH THAT GODDAMN SMIRK OH MY GODDDDDD he knows what he's doing. i swear. AND HAKU. HAKU. i literally took a screenshot at his words cause holy shit i very nearly exploded when i heard him. idk the eng version, but in the jp version, (screenshot above!!) he says basically that "In my case, I've got a possessive streak where I don't want to lose to other guys." HAKU POSSESSIVENESS CONFIRMED?!?!?!??! mmmm Haku keeping u in his room so that u don't go visit other ghouls... Haku shutting u up and whispering to u, promising to make u feel so good u won't be able to think (about anyone else), and he actually follows thru... 🤪
in conclusion, oh my god. and what the fuck.
next!! THEORIES. buckle up. this gonna be looooooong.
let's start with confirmed facts in the ep. since there's quite a bit, im making sections.
<Taiga's stigma>
- TAIGA'S STIGMA IS BEING ABLE TO SEE THE FUTURE WE GUESSED CORRECTLY GUYS!! but, how far he can see into the future, and what kind of future (since he said there's a ton of variations) he can see kinda depends on the situation. it also messes his head up, gives him headaches, etc. and his stigma is CLASSIFIED INFO.
- one other person knows about Taiga's stigma, but according to Tai, he was "shut up by the Institute/Academy" and "didn't believe him". im guessing Romeo.
<The Clash (Academy) and the One-Eyed Sleeping Beauty Murder Case>
- the One-Eyed Sleeping Beauty Murder happened last year, at the Academy, where it eventually led to the Clash (and Dionysia, Clementia, and Ultio were disbanded? unhoused? i can't think of a suitable verb rn.)
- the person who was murdered was a first-year Ultio general student named Irori Tomura (十村炉; literally translated ten villages fireplace in that order of kanji) NOT A GHOUL!!
- Irori's body was found naked, and it seemed that he was sleeping, but one of his eyes was gouged out by someone (first of all, gross. second, wtf)
- his body (yes Irori is a dude, that's confirmed, why's it called Sleeping Beauty then?? idk) was first found by Rui, who after getting questioned by the Academy admitted that he did the murder
- but then Ed said he did it, not Rui (which im pretty sure it was explained in an earlier ep in s1?? that Ed admitted to murdering Irori because he didn't want Rui to be taken away or smt i forget someone tell me in the comments)
- we don't why Towa, Alan, and Jiro are the suspects tho
- currently the case is under "Investigation" by the Academy, but everyone knows that's bullshit
<Ultio>
- Enzo Naruto (鳴執淵造) was the former captain of Ultio.
- he liked, or was relatively close with the deceased general student Irori Tomura
- and now he's suspended, like Elias was, and held in Ultio prison
<The Clash Within the Institute>
- So Dante told us that the whole thing?? the Deadly in Love death game was orchestrated by rebels (im calling em rebels) within the Institute
- and that the paper company that suggested the location to the filming company, and the anonymous tip were from within the Institute, but not from the rebel's side
- so basically this ep happened because two sides are like fighting with each other and the ghouls and our dear MC were basically pawns
- the rebel side is led by a person known as Hreidmar, who was also the dude who was like a "god/savior" in the Unfathomable Triangle ep in s1
oh yeah. Elias is from Louisiana. (i wish i could say more, but i used to live in DC and i moved to Japan when i was eight, so like. i don't even know where all fifty states are on the map 😭. however i do know vaguely!! where all 47 prefectures are)
now let's go on to theories and shit. also like when i write these posts i do stop halfway to read the comment section in-game, and like. BAHAHAAA a jp player commented "Alan cooking 牛丼 (gyu-don, beef bowl) after killing the bull anomaly is funny af" and girl. idk who u are but i love u.
anyways.
so like. that research room that led from Elias's bedroom... that had no-passcode PCs but individual files were locked... and signs of someone who recently lived there... and the diary... that said (im roughly translating this, most of it should be right but some nuances could be wrong, we're trying to get the gist here)
"It was a good thing that I/we captured 'The Witch' at Lockburn Castle. Currently going forward with our plan with the black magic methods we obtained from bargaining with 'The Witch'. It does certainly seem that it's easier to succeed if I/we have a base such as legends and mythologies. If our research advances further at this castle, I/we could transfer/use the same method on 'The Being that wraps around/hugs' in the 'Dragon Triangle', which is showing signs of decline. Already reported to Sir Hreidmar that I'm/we're placing less importance on the 'Ark Plan' and that I/we can go forward the phase of the 'Babel Plan'..."
i might be wrong here, i don't remember exactly, but in the Who Killed Robin? eps, wasn't the Witch able to create pocket dimensions?? it seems like the rebels are using her so that they can create their own "Ark" or pocket dimension... ig?? but what's the Babel plan?? and like. why do i feel Hyde is part of the rebels?? also... i have an inkling that Hriedmar is Kamura Sr., aka Jin's dad.
also, going back to the Clash at the Academy, why was Irori's eye gouged out? who did it, and why? and why was the body naked?? like at least leave his undies on??? do u have no respect for the erm privacy of the dead??
anyways i am super duper sleepy now and my brain is tired. BUT BEFORE I GO TO BED DID Y'ALL NOTICE HOW HAKU'S VOICE GOT SO DEEP AND MENACING WHEN OUR GIRL WAS WHISKED AWAY AT THE END??? HOLY SHIT THAT WAS HOT. (mc needs to get kidnapped more)
AND THE NEXT EP HELLO?!?!??! LUCA?!??! REN?!?! AND MIO?!???!!?!?! oh godDAMN they're so hot especially Mio my man 😫😫😫 those forearms are soooooo sexy god i wanna ride them woah who said what?? 👀
also i would like to hear Subaru yelling YOU FUCKING NEANDERTHAL!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ again in the next ep. and i do hope we solve all the riddles from the Sky King.
ok. im done. im really sleepy now. will do my dailies and go to bed. anyways pls let me know if i got something wrong, or i missed something!! and of course you're welcome to pitch ur own opinion in the comments!!

pairing: Towa x Reader, Romeo x Reader, Jin x Reader (in that order)
tags: pure fluff
a/n: another daily drabble practice!! to everyone who's battling the heat in Europe, please be careful of heat stroke and other heat-related diseases/injuries!! create airflows by opening windows and using fans so there's a path for the air to flow, drink lots of water, and i highly recommend freezing bottles of water in the freezer and pressing them against your neck when u go outside!! also don't forget sunscreen!!
Night Stars
“~~~♪”
Towa hummed. You could feel his humming as he hugged you against his chest, encasing you with his signature scent of flowers and fresh grass and warm sunlight. You turned your head to look at the stars dotting the sky, each one sparkling and infinite.
“Pretty…”
“You’re pretty too, Dandelion~~”
Towa nuzzled your head in content as you blushed.
“Towa, you— you shouldn’t say that...”
“Why?”
“Because… I get embarrassed…”
“But you are pretty, Dandelion. You’re as pretty as the stars~~”
You hummed in response into Towa’s shirt, masking your shyness. He wrapped his arms around you even tighter, holding you like you were precious bouquet. Eventually, surrounded by his warmth, you gradually fell into a gentle slumber under the stars.
Hair Care
You sighed in content as Romeo’s hands massaged your head, rubbing in the expensive hair treatment that he insisted on.
“…it smells amazing…”
“Of course it does cara mia!!” Romeo huffed. “I only use the best.”
The scent of peony, iris, lavender, and something more permeated the air in the luxurious bathroom, calming your nerves. Although you loved your boyfriend, you were a bit sensitive to other people’s touch, preferring to keep physical contact at a minimum. But Romeo’s hands felt so good, massaging that spot of tension in your scalp that you had for weeks—
The warm water hit your hair suddenly, making you yelp in surprise.
“Was it too hot?” Romeo asked, immediately turning the shower head away.
“No, I was just surprised… got lost in my thoughts again. You know how I am,” you chuckled.
“Hmph. Well, tell me if it’s too much.”
“Of course.”
Romeo carefully rinsed your hair, then squeezed it gently to get the moisture out. “Up you go, cara mia,” he said, guiding you to the chair in front of the large elaborate mirror, a dryer already plugged in.
Two pumps of whatever expensive hair cream into his hands, he carefully ran his fingers through the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair, hydrating them and coating them with a sheen. He did the same thing three more times, each time using a different bottle that seemed more and more expensive.
After, Romeo dried your hair, lifting up each strand tenderly and concentrating on closing every cuticle, as he put it. To you, it didn’t make sense, but when he was done, the difference was enlightening.
“Wow… my hair is… wow,” you said in amazement, turning your head left and right, gazing at the silky smooth locks.
“Hmph,” Romeo huffed proudly. “What did I tell you about hair care?”
“Uhh, to dry your hair every night?”
“Dry your hair thoroughly every night! I can’t believe you sometimes slack off that! Drying is most important if you don’t want split ends and frizziness!”
“Yeah, but on some days I’m so exhausted…”
“That’s not an excuse, BB!”
“So you’ll do my hair from now on, right?” You spun your chair around and met Romeo’s beautiful ruby eyes.
“I— since you don’t know how to dry your hair properly, then I will, of course!” He spluttered, then turned away to wrap the cord around the nozzle of the dryer, seemingly masking his fluster.
“Thanks Romi! Love you!” You pecked his cheek, then skipped out of the room, leaving behind a frozen Romeo, the ends of the dryer cord dangling from his hand.
Summers in Frostheim
Knock, knock.
You burst into Jin’s room without waiting for a response.
“What did I say about—“
“Ahhhhhhhh~~”
You sprawled across his expensive sofa, throwing your legs over his knees. The King of Frostheim had been sitting on his couch and typing on his phone. He raised an eyebrow at you.
“Thank fuck for Frostheim and its frozen halls,” you sighed, closing your eyes, letting the cold seep into your body. Outside of Frostheim, it was scorching hot, the Tokyo humidity making the heat seem like hell.
You’d been to Hotarubi before coming here, hoping that it was at least a bit cooler than anywhere else.
You were wrong.
The rain made everything worse, mixing with your sweat and making you feel quite gross. That and Haku’s comment about undressing you had caused you to give him the middle finger (Zenji had gasped at both of you) and beeline towards Frostheim.
You were still drenched, but you didn’t care.
“…you’ll catch a cold,” Jin muttered.
“...’s too hot to think ‘bout that…Achoo!”
“Told you so.”
“Just because I sneezed doesn’t mean I’m gonna catch— Achoo!”
Jin sighed and set down his phone. Before you could resist, he picked you up, bridal style, and carried to his bathroom.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Making you take a shower,” Jin said as he started stripping himself.
Once he was naked, he started peeling off your clothes. You obediently raised your arms as he took off your shirt.
Jin’s nose wrinkled as he took a tentative sniff at your shirt. “Did you fall into the pond over there?”
“No?” You huffed, crossing your arms. “It’s summer, in case you missed what season it was.”
Jin muttered something under his breath.
“Whatchu say?”
“Well then, stay here. With me.” His ice blue eyes met yours, then shifted away. “It’s cooler, at least.”
“I— Achoo!”
Jin chuckled, then gently gave a push towards the lavish shower. “Gotta warm you up before you actually catch a cold.”
Haku x Reader is going on strong. currently at 2k words, but either i suck at pacing or my brain wants me to write like 10k cause Haku hasn't even met y/n yet 😭
What if... Alternate End (Dionysia ver.) is in progress!! but! to make it more interesting, i thought i'd take a poll to see who do you guys want MC to end up with at the end. (out of the dio ghouls) btw don't worry Hyde is still gonna die.
tbh, i don't know how long the alternate end will be but uhh... yea!! im working on it!! trust the process (of trusting my imagination to run wilder than Bonnie)!!
when tagging your tkdb spoilers, please use tags instead of just SAYING it's spoilers. that does nothing unless you put it under a cut! people are STILL going to see your post and you will STILL be spoiling people! be considerate. it's literally so easy.

"The day you became Kyklos, Rui didn’t just lose a friend. He lost his soulmate. He lost his one true love, before he ever got to call it that."
I wrote this after re-reading "Who Killed Robin" Pt. 2. Rui is such a beautifully painful character. Prepare your tissues!
Who knows when it began?
Maybe it started with simple curiosity. You were introduced as the honor student. Cursed at random and dunked into a world of anomalies and magic. You were a stranger who ended up in a pitiful situation just as he had once. Curse twins. It has a nice ring, doesn't it?
He still remembers the first encounter. Your eyes were glued to the ground so hard, you almost bumped into him in the train.
Then, you looked up at him with tearful eyes filled with fear. Doubt. Anxiety. It looked like you were ready to run at any moment. So he tried to calm your nerves.
When he thinks back on it now, it still makes him laugh. Every flirting technique and smile he threw at you, it was like you had a shield to block all of it out. It was impressive, really.
Who knew you would become an existence he couldn’t live without.
You came from a mission with Hotarubi, bringing a new member of Obscuary with you. Rui could tell, having someone to take care of was good for you. You looked at Lyca with eyes of adoration but also respect. He was giving you hope. That one day, you might be able to fulfill your deepest desire. To break the curse and become 'normal' again.
You threw yourself into everything. Whether you were reading case files, studying anomalous biology, working at the bar, or talking to the professors and ghouls, you were earnest. Hands always open to help. Mind always open to learn. It was amazing to watch.
Then he started seeing himself in you. His past self. Working too hard. Smiling with trembling lips. Desperately holding onto the hope that that one day your life won't be determined for you.
It made you reckless at times. He still remembers the first mission. You had ran toward the anomaly to save that girl. Rui couldn’t help but think you were foolish. What could you possibly do?
But he knows now...those words were for himself. Because when you ran– he reached for you. Then, his hand stopped halfway. Because what could he possibly do?
Touch you? Save you? No.
He could do nothing but watch.
But that night had awoken something deep within him. It reminded him of the helplessness of his curse. It broke the illusion he told himself over and over. That this life was enough. That wanting more was pointless.
Every visit you made to that dark, depressing house. Every smile, every laugh at his jokes. Every time, you made him feel human again, he felt something growing in his chest. Hope. He thought he had buried that feeling long ago. He thought he no longer craved another person’s touch.
But when you stood beside him, he wanted to brush shoulders. When you looked at him with those eyes, he wanted to cup your face. And when you came to him on the verge of tears, he wanted to hold you and never let go.
That terrified him. Because hope hurts the most.
So he tried to distance himself from you. But it was impossible. You were like a single flower in the middle of a wasteland. And he was the bee, pathetic enough to keep coming back.
This is dangerous. That night you fell asleep at the bar, there was no-one else around. He watched your peaceful state longer than he'd like to admit. He knew he shouldn’t. And yet, he couldn’t resist. He carefully took a strand of your hair, brought the ends to his lips. And pressed a kiss on it. This is dangerous.
Then, it started happening. That light in your eyes, it was dwindling. Mission after mission. Disappointment after disappointment. You seemed to be carrying the burdens of the world. It broke him. Maybe even more than when he experienced the same thing himself. Because he wanted you to live. The thought of you disappearing scared him more than anything else in the world.
If it’s to help you live…I'll do anything. That’s what he told himself.
So when you were scouting for members, he was desperate to go on that mission with you. “Don’t take Jin. Take me.” He should’ve known…that decision would be his biggest regret.
That night at Lockburn Castle is a nightmare he still wakes up to. Ed had told him "to prepare himself." Killing Kyklos was the only way to save you. He knew that and yet…
When the moment came. He hesitated to take another life. He hates these hands. He hates that disgusting sensation of taking another’s breath to continue his own. For one selfish second, he wanted there to be another way.
That single second cost you everything.
Kyklos laughed in his face. That laugh stayed in his memories...Long after yours disappeared.
The day you became Kyklos, Rui didn’t just lose a friend. He lost his soulmate. He lost his one true love, before he ever got to call it that.
And now Rui finds himself back at Lockburn castle. He looks up at the bell. The bell that supposedly brings happiness when rung together. If he brought you here. If the two of you had rung it together, would you still be here, right by his side?
No. He knows better. Two curses don’t cancel each other out. They only prove that fate can be cruel twice over.
It would’ve never worked out. Not now. Not in a different lifetime.
He dips his head into his hands. You two had made a pinky promise to “come back here again.” But now he sits beneath the bell alone. He doesn’t ring it. Because without you, happiness is impossible.
i have finished reading the ep. and the new one comes out 2 days later. anyway wasn't that short?? like i feel two part eps are always kinda short but maybe that's just me. (as usual this is kinda long, so buckle up girlies!!)
btw.
HAKU THE MAN U ARE.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WHY IS HE SO HOT GODDAMN LIKE HAVE Y'ALL SEEN HOW THEY EXCHANGED HIS USUAL RED EARRINGS FOR SILVER HEARTS?!?!?!!
AND HE ASKED US OUT LIKE HOW MANY TIMES?!?!?! IDK. THE POINT IS THAT I THOUGHT THAT MAN WAS SURELY GONNA GET TURNED TO STONE THEN HE BUSTED OUT A PERSEUS AND SAVED US HOLY SHIT THAT WAS HOT— (i scream as they drag me away to the padded room)
THE PINKY PROMISE HELLO????? DID Y'ALL SEE THAT BACKGROUND?? THE LENGTH AND SIZE DIFFERENCE??? (that might've given me ahem some uhhh smutty thoughts but that aside)
and Sho.
WDYM "What do you think of me?" I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA GET A FULL BLOWN LOVE CONFESSION and then he was like who do u think is the Rogue and i was like. oh. oh. ohh u mean that bro srsly?? 😒
also idk how many of u guys read the eps with volume on, but Ritsu's imitation of Sho 😭😭😭 i literally snorted.
also i really like Elias's outfit, like the sash? and the way the jacket is buttoned is like 🤌🤌🤌 and DAMN Alan has a large chest. dude works out from six in the morning so ig that makes sense tho.
AND TAIGA?!?!?! WDYM "I need a sturdy bed"??!!?!!? EXCUSE ME SIR WTF ARE U IMPLYING. ig MC and Taiga are fucking is confirmed, or he just likes to roll around and is a bad sleeper.
anyways. theory time!!
so who's the rogue?? (they said 略奪者 in JP, which means like plunderer or looter)
good question, devs. i have two answers.
Haku
Reason 1: He is sus af. Near the start of the mission, before the first task (card game) when they all were in the dining room and were talking about who the Rogue could be and that they should speak up, Haku was the one that said "Rogue, please speak up" (or smt like that i read the ep in JP, cut me some slack if that ain't accurate) Elias does follow right after with smt like "Yes, if the Rogue speaks up rn, that would be very helpful" and that is sus too. but the point is, whoever asked/said the Rogue to speak up is the relatively sus in my opinion, because would u answer a question that u just asked to everyone else?? no.
Reason 2: He saved us in the second task (Medusa) to gain points, thus preventing the other ghouls to get points. in order for his plan to succeed (use the shield to reflect the stone-turning rays), Haku had to 1) be the first one to receive two "attention", 2) not tell his plan to anyone else, and 3) be on the very edge of the room so that he could grab the shield. although he justified 2) to Ritsu later, he was the first one to move near the chasm, and he walked to the edge. meaning as soon as he heard and understood the rules of that round, he already had his plan.
Reason 3: The pinky promise. now i swooned over this too, but the reason why i got 🤨 like this is because of his wording. in the JP version, he says "死んだら御免" which is, I KNOW, part of the rhyme 指切りげんまん, which is like a nursery rhyme?? that binds a promise?? like u do this shit when ur young and u want ur friend to keep a promise (but when u get older, u use contracts like Ritsu therefore it is legally binding lol) the point is, 死んだら御免 is like in the third verse. and like many popular nursery rhymes, only the first verse is popular and the second and third verses aren't known that much (which is probably why MC was also kinda confused when she heard it). heck, even i didn't know until i read the spoilers lmao. but what i want to say is, why would u use 死んだら御免? that specific part which means literally "sorry if i die"? Haku could've just said "約束する (i promise)" or "指切りげんまんだね (it's a pinky promise)". but the fact that he said "sorry if i die" kinda seems to be that he's the Rogue, but he's willing to sacrifice himself.
on another note, DON'T U DARE DIE HAKU KUSANAGI I WILL CRUMBLE FROM HEARTBREAK AND SUE ZZG FOR EMOTIONAL DAMAGE ON THE SAME DAY ISTG
now my second answer for who's da Rogue? is...
2. No one
idk like this whole thing just seems veeery fishy and like. masked dude seems like the kinda person to enjoy psychological torture via manipulation by ensuring that no one is the Rogue.
also Ritsu did say the staff seemed to be frantic after they handed them their cards so maybe?? that was it??
and so my expectation of part two is:
Taiga knows shit, will not tell anyone until the end, or just will not tell anyone even if it's the end
The Minotaur is def one of the anomalies in the castle and the final task is to kill it (or MC gets eaten, idk, i mean this whole ep is like Greek Mythology based so)
They all get saved
Elias does some mysterious shit
Ritsu and Taiga fail to get paid and gets scolded by Romeo when they get back
We get some trauma/past lore (hopefully about Shiki?? he was mentioned like twice, right?? he seems chill tho, kinda like Ren)
also guysssss the next ep after Waves of Love (S1) is the Star Festival one, do u think we'll get a redo of that one too, except they'll complete all the tasks this time??
and in s1, Kyklos was in Lockburn Castle (excuse my spelling if it's not correc), but do u guys think Kyklos is in this castle(浮夜城: literally Floating Castle of the Night but idk how devs translated ts) for this season??

Hojicha
The aroma of freshly made tea wafted through the air as Subaru handed you your teacup. Today’s tea was hojicha, its soothing brown reflecting your face.
You took a tentative sip, Subaru anxiously watching your expression.
The tea tasted warm, like comfort, like bundling in a fuzzy blanket during the wintertime. It soothed your throat, leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste that settled comfortably within you.
“It’s delicious,” You said quietly with a smile, not wanting to disturb the peace that surrounded you two.
Subaru smiled back, and took a sip from his own cup.
“I’m glad you like it.”
The rain pattered on the roof as you leaned your head on Subaru’s shoulder and closed your eyes, not realizing that the ghoul had blushed a beautiful shade of red at the proximity.
Third Period
It was after lunch, third period, and the sun was warm against your back. Professor Nicolas was droning about something related to anomalous medicine development, but his voice was in a steady rhythm, no ups and downs, and you found yourself dozing off…
Next to you, Luca was diligently taking notes, adding memos that he thought important to the textbook and underlining figures in blue. Many classmates in front of him were zonking off, very likely due to a full stomach.
He glanced at you.
Head resting on your left hand, the other hand holding a pen, your eyelashes fluttered against your cheek, casting a faint shadow. Your shoulders were slowly and steadily rising up and down along with your breath. Your expression was childlike, and—
Luca’s head snapped forward, realizing that he was staring at you.
Staring is ungentlemanly, he chided himself.
Yet as the class moved on, he couldn’t help but sneak glances at you.
Your alarmed eyes met with Rui’s as he tugged you closer, then caged you in his arms against the wall as the ground shook beneath you.
The quake only lasted for a few seconds, and the people around you seemed to be alarmed at the earthquake warning from their phones than the actual quake.
You’d experienced earthquakes before, but Darkwick somehow never had earthquakes, probabaly due to the island being an anomaly.
And you’ve never experienced an earthquake on a date with Rui.
“You ok, cutie?”
Rui smoothed back your hair.
“Yeah, the alarm just scared me, I guess,” you smiled back.
“Mmm, it was louder than I remembered,” Rui mused, taking you hand and interlacing your fingers like he always did.
“You jumped a bit, didn’t you?”
You teased him, to which he loudly denied.
“No. Nope. I di—“
You shut him up with a smooch on his lips, effectively shutting him up.
When you pulled away with a small smile, you saw that Rui’s cheeks were tinged pink.
“Come on then!! We still haven’t went to the takoyaki place!!”
You ran ahead laughing, looking back at him, your hair whipping in the wind.
“Cutie… you’ll be the death of me,” Rui chuckled as he jogged to catch up.
His heart beated rapidly, intensely, as if you had caused a series of earthquakes within him.
pairing: Elias x gn! Reader
tags: fluff, comfort
a/n: i did say i'd be posting Mio's smut first, but uhhh somehow this got finished first idk how. also i barely edited this, which is very unusual for me. anyways have some Elias comfort!!
The rain pattered on the ceiling of the cathedral, and it was to that peaceful sound to which you woke up.
Your physical state was, however, not peaceful at all.
Groaning, you could feel your throat drier than usual, a cough creeping out of your mouth. Your nose, well, one nostril was stuffed, and the other was runny, a decidedly horrible combination. Your head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, a headache sitting inside your brain like an unwanted visitor. You felt hot, but not hot enough to sweat, hotter than usual, but not like you finished running laps.
Reaching for your thermometer, you turned it on and stuck it under your armpit while staggering up from the bed for a glass of water.
The water was nice, until you choked on it halfway through.
Beep beep.
37.4°C. (99.32°F)
Well at least it’s a mild fever and you don’t have any classes today.
You decide to sleep it off.
Climbing back into the cozy covers, your eyes captured the time as 7:32 before you drifted off to sleep.
Maybe you’ll wake up at noon.
—
Elias strolled on the path to Clementia, rolling his usual lollipop between his teeth, twirling his umbrella, when he caught sight of that Vagastrom first year also walking up to the cathedral, a plastic bag in his hand.
Elias raised his hand in a wave.
The first year also waved back, surprise flitting across his face as he made his way toward the fourth year.
“You must Elias, right? Nice to meet you, I’m Sho.”
“Likewise. May I ask what is in that bag?”
“Oh, it’s just lunch for MC, ‘cause I was expecting them at the food truck, and they didn’t come. I’m a bit worried.” The ghoul’s blue eyes flicked towards the direction of the cathedral. “What are you doing here, by the way?” His voice sounded genuinely curious.
“Oh, I’m just taking a walk. I’m very partial to taking walks,” Elias replied in a neutral tone.
“So this is your usual route?”
“Oh no, I just happened to make this part of my route today.”
The rain pattered on both of their umbrellas. A small stream had been created on the ditch of the road, flowing into the drain.
“I could take her lunch to her,” Elias offered placidly. “Afternoon classes will soon start, and the buildings are far away from here.”
“Oh, uh, I usually don’t go to class,” the younger ghoul sheepishly said. “But I would appreciate if you could take it to them, I’ve got a mission this afternoon.”
“Of course,” he replied smoothly, taking the bag. He could feel the steam, and smell something aromatic and comforting.
“Thanks, man! See you around, I guess.”
Sho waved, jogging in the direction of Vagastrom, jumping over puddles, while Elias made his way to the large wooden doors of the cathedral.
He knocked twice on the smooth, dark surface.
No answer.
He knocked again.
Only hearing the rain, he stepped inside the cathedral, closing his umbrella, calling out,
“Inspecter, I’m coming inside.”
Noting the unfixed holes in the floor and spying the disastrous wreckage of the pews, Elias climbed up the creaking stairs to the second floor.
He knocked on your bedroom door twice.
Hearing nothing and getting slightly worried, he let himself in.
Setting the lunch Sho made on a nearby chair, he walked quickly to your bed, where you were breathing feverishly, eyebrows scrunched even in sleep as if you were uncomfortable, and you had kicked off your blanket, exposing your midriff.
Elias took off one glove and brushed your hair back to feel your temperature.
“You’re exhausted, I see,” he murmured.
But when he tried to retract his hand, you caught it with your feverish fingers and then blinked your eyes open.
“…Blegh… E..lias? What are you doing here?”
Your voice sounded terrible, and you eyes were focused somewhere around him, somewhat distanced.
“Shh, I’ve come to take care you, dear heart,” he replied with that signature smile of his. “Let’s get you some water, hmm?”
The cold water felt good against your throat.
“Are you hungry? Your friend Sho brought this for you… do you feel good enough to eat?”
You groaned, falling back into the sheets. “Nooooooo…”
“One bite, come on now,” he coaxed, somehow already sitting on your bed and supporting you back as he raised a spoonful to your lips.
Grumbling something intelligible, you tentatively sipped the soup.
It was… nicer than you thought. Mild spices but enough that you could taste the richness through your congested nose, soft vegetables and tender chunks of meat blending into a comforting harmony of umami.
“…more.”
“Demanding, aren’t we?” Elias chuckled, already raising another spoonful.
You ate slowly, taking time between sips of soup to occasionally blow your nose. Elias patiently matched your pace, even bringing the wastepaper basket closer.
After, you lay in your bed, listening to the rain pattering against the roof. Your stomach was full, your headache had dulled, and you felt sleepy. Elias was still sitting on the ege of your bed, stroking your hair with one hand.
A comfortable silence settled between the two of you.
Gradually, your breathing deepened and you fell asleep, lulled by the sound of rain and Elias’s gentle stroking. His gaze settled on your face, tracing your skin as if entranced.
For a while, time seemed to stop, serenity settling within your room.
