–

Llegó mi Twin Lead CD drama, estoy super feliz~ (≧◡≦)  así que quiero compartir esta pequeña entrevista que venía incluida ♥ 

(Japanese to English, thanks @tabooneko *-* )

♥ English:

Page 1

Pomeranian: Wan! Wan! Wan… Wanwan? (Translation: I’m sorry it’s so sudden, but let me make a three questions corner. I don’t really feel like asking, but I have no choice. What is you favourite dog breed?)

Shiki: I guess the Pomeranian with nice high-pitched whine… fufu. 

Pomeranian: Wan… Wan, wan? (Translation: I have bad feeling about it, so let’s proceed to question two. Have you heard about a dog ear?)

Shiki: You mean folding a page of a magazine? …By the way, I heard that it really hurts when you rip fur from dog’s ears.

Pomeranian: Wanwan! Wann! Kyaain! (Translation: Why are you sidling up to me? Stop it! Aaa!)

Shiki: Guess why. Hey, Roen, don’t run away, let’s play a little. Ah, it’s so thrilling~

Page 2

Pomeranian: Wanwan! Wan, wan? (Translation: I pulled myself together, so time for another question corner. What is your favourite dog breed?)

Roen: It’s Pomeranian of course. It’s the best, very fluffy and nice when you hug it.

Pomeranian: Wan! Wanwan! Wan? (Translation: Wonderful. We have a similar opinion. And what do you think about recent dog food?)

Roen: I don’t need to eat dog or human food, but when she offers me it I always end up eating. 

Pomeranian: Wan. Wanwan! (Translation: Thank you very much. It was the best interview so far!)

Roen: Of course it was. …It was completely a one-man show…

♥ Español:

Página 1

Pomerania: ¡Wan! ¡Wan! Wan … Wanwan? (Traducción: Lamento que sea tan repentino, pero déjame hacerte tres preguntas. La verdad es que no tengo ganas de hacerlo, pero no tengo otra opción. ¿Cuál es tu raza de perro favorita?)

Shiki: Supongo que los Pomeranians que tienen un agradable gemido agudo … Fufu.

Pomerania: Wan … Wan, ¿wan? (Traducción: Tengo un mal presentimiento sobre esto, así que pasemos a la pregunta 2. ¿Has oído hablar de la oreja de perro?)

Shiki: ¿Te refieres a eso de doblar una página en una revista? … Por cierto, escuché que realmente duele cuando arrancas el pelo de las orejas de un perro.

Pomerania: ¡Wanwan! Wann! ¡Kyaain! (Traducción: ¿Por qué te estás acercando a mí? ¡Basta! ¡Aaahh!)

Shiki: Adivina por qué. Hey, Roen, no te vayas, juguemos un poco. Ah, es tan emocionante~

Página 2

Pomerania: ¡Wanwan! Wan, wan? (Traducción: Me recuperé, así que es hora de otro rincón de preguntas. ¿Cuál es tu raza de perro favorita?)

Roen: Es la Pomerania, por supuesto. Es la mejor, muy esponjoso y agradable cuando lo abrazas.

Pomerania: ¡Wan! Wanwan! ¿Wan? (Traducción: Maravilloso. Tenemos una opinión similar. ¿Y qué piensas sobre la comida para perros?)

Roen: No necesito comer comida humana o para perros, pero cuando ella me la ofrece siempre termino comiendo.

Pomerania: ¡Wan, Wanwan! (Traducción: Muchas gracias. ¡Fue la mejor entrevista hasta ahora!)

Roen: Por supuesto que lo fue. … Fue un monólogo …

BONUS:

The question in this card with Roen in Pom form says:

Who is the person that gets in your way the most?

Shiki: There is no such person. But if I have to choose, then maybe Roen? If he gets in my way, I will punish him.

Roen: I’d like to say that every one of them. But first on the list is that fallen angel. –

La pregunta de Roen en la tarjeta dice:

¿Quién es la persona que más se interpone en tu camino?

Shiki: No hay tal persona. Pero si tengo que elegir una, ¿entonces tal vez Roen? Si él se interpone en mi camino, lo castigaré.

я не гарантирую, что что-то из этого обязательно предотвратит домогательства или похищение вас обезьяной (к сожалению, мужчинами я назвать их не могу), но чуть снизит риск приближения к вам.

насильники всегда ищут лёгкую жертву. поэтому, если у вас в руках есть зонт или что-то тяжёлое, вы вполне себе сможете ударить обезьяну этим предметом. поэтому, носите с собой зонт или что-то подобное.

насильники и похожие обезьяны часто обитают около парковок магазинов. постарайтесь сократить ваше нахождение одной там. используйте баллончик или нож, в случае чего.

если вас всё таки схватили, постарайтесь бить в пах, это больное место. также, есть место, с очень низким болевым пороком. попробуйте ущепнуть себя за место между плечом и локтём на руке. если вас схватили - щипайте и рвите кожу там. скорее, насильник отпустит вас, ибо опять же, он ищет лёгкую жертву.

если у вас есть возможность - бегите. оставьте всё, что вам помешает делать это, я имею ввиду пакеты с продуктами или сумки, их вы сможете забрать потом. ваша жизнь важнее.

если вам кричат что-то типа "кис кис кис, девушка, подойди сюда", то вот, чем воспользовалась я:

мы с подругой шли на улице, около парковки, обезьяны стали кричать нам это, я попробовала найти ключи в сумке, рукой, глядя им в глаза, смущая их этим. ключи я не нашла, да и сообразила, что они не помогут. я взяла телефон и начала говорить: «але, пап, мы уже подходим к дому, видишь нас в окно? смотри, вот мы" и мы с подругой начали махать в сторону какого-то дома. мужики отстали.

если вы чувствуете и замечаете, что за вами следят, то вот то, что я знаю, что можно сделать в такой ситуации:

- если вы не знаете, кто именно за вами следит - зевните. и оглянитесь, тот, кто зевнул, скорее смотрел на вас.

- после того, как вы поймёте, кто ваш "тайный поклонник", у вас есть пара выходов, которые можно и нужно совместить при возможности:

- резко обернуться и посмотреть в глаза тому, кто следит за вами. это смутит его и обратит внимание на то, что вы его заметили. также можно взять камеру и специально начать снимать или фотографировать его. не думаю, что насильнику захотелось бы, чтобы его лицо было запечатлено в памяти вашего телефона.

- зайдите в магазин или на рынок и попросите охранника проводить вас до нужного места. обезьяна может спрятаться и поджидать вас где-то, но если вы выйдете с охранником, который сможет проводить вас до автобусной остановки/дома, если он не далеко, то не думаю, что насильнику захочется иметь с ним дело. вам вполне себе могут отказать, ибо это "не их работа, разных дам провожать", но вы можете демонстративно и драмматично расплакаться или сказать, что будете сидеть в магазине до самого его закрытия или вызовите полицию, чтобы она сопроводила вас. я думаю, что сотрудникам не хотелось бы лишних проблем и заморочек, поэтому скорее всего они согласятся помочь вам.

также, носите головные уборы. обезьяна может подойти и хлопнуть вам по ушам, что издаст сильный звон и он выиграет время, сообы похитить вас. шляпы, кепки, шапки, хотя бы капюшон смогут снизить риск подобного манёвра.

также, не надевайте каблуки, когда идёте куда-то в одиночку. насильник ударит вам по ногам, из за чего вы упадёте и у него, опять же, будет выигранное время вас похитить.

если вас всё же похитили и положили в багажник машины, то постарайтесь разбить кулаком фару машины изнутри. через неё вы, конечно, не выберетесь, но ваша рука будет заметна, начните махать ей, вы привлечёте внимание водителей других машин.

опять же, при первой же возможности - бегите, деритесь, щипайтесь, кусайтесь, кричите и делайте всё, чтобы спасти саою жизнь. да, вас могут посадить за убийство, но всё же, это лучше, чем вас убьёт какой-то мужлан, понимаете?

VAL x Kiter/Rescuer Reader

Victor Grantz ;

Somehow, whenever you're in a match, you always seem to be the first to be pursued by the hunter.

Either you sought out to find them initially or vice versa, he doesn't know.

So he always make sure to keep a letter especially for you, considering how reckless you were.

Since you're a kiter & also a resucer, you always get a letter to help you run fast & rescue faster.

Each time you see Wick, the post dog delivering a letter to you, it always warms your heart to know that Victor is supporting you from a far.

He can't help you when you get chaired however, since he isn't blessed with the speed of a rescuer, more of a supporter.

He usually stays by the exit to wait for you & secure a win for the survivors' side while also securing your state.

He always make sure to tend to you, or at least stay by your side while your wounds are treated.

You worry him often, so he frowns a lot after matches. However, he takes pride that someone like you is so close to him, since you're such a helpful addition to every team & formation, and also because he's greatly fond of you as well.

Baby, protect him.

Has a board that says:

"If there were words that could describe how greatly I adore you, you'd hear it from me everyday."

Andrew Kreiss ;

He's really worried whenever you're hurt or pursued. His shovel is always ready in hand when you're incapacitated and chaired.

As you're both rescuers, expect him to be the first to reach your side & help.

Really wishes that the hunter won't be so harsh on you in matches, it pains him.

Andrew is very thankful whenever you steer the hunter's attention away from him & onto himself, although a bit worried whenever you do.

Will wait for you at the gate is super sorry whenever he fails to help you escape.

Praise him. He's going to do better; he take your compliments to heart,,

He doesn't know much on how to properly treat you after you're hurt, but he's always there beside you, sometimes even lightly scolding you for your recklessness.

You've taken quite a few years of his life span, but rest assured, he's very fond of you.

Stay with him, you won't regret it.

"You're an angel, I'm so blessed to have met you."

Luca Balsa ;

He isn't very careful of his surroundings or aware of it, so whenever he sees you running towards him, he's going to book it, since you always bring the hunter anyway.

The chain around his neck grows painfully heavy as he runs, he's so thankful for your kiting & looping skills that help the team's progress.

Doesn't let you go near a single cipher; even if you're a veteran, he knows that you can't decode, since you're always busy with the hunter, you have really slow progress in decoding & your calibration fail rate is through the roof.

Very happy whenever you help him, is slightly worried, which is out of character for him, whenever he accidentally shocks you though.

Will hang around the exit to wait for you, knowing full well that both gates are open thanks to him.

If the hunter's there, he's going to shock the hell out of them while grabbing your wrist & booking it.

Will not aid you no matter how much he wants to, chances are, he will probably shock you without knowing, therefore putting you in more pain.

Sticks around, whenever you're present. He's dearly fond of you.

 (Now that Luka’s been released, I can finally post this on here! Enjoy~)

Words: 844

Pronouns: They/them

(Y/N) - Your name

Summary:  After rescuing a Prince Luka from confinement before his execution due to their undying loyalty for him, (Y/N) finds out Luka doesn’t remember anything save for his own name.

Thank you!! I'll write more in the future and I hope you'll enjoy this one too!! Also I legit bought Luca for this I'm--

"I love you!"

Pairing: Luca Balsa x Reader

Words: 553

Now, Luca is an inventor, a great inventor that is. He’s a world-reowned inventor, a determined one, an intelligent one, and a great one.

At least that’s what he always told himself.

His grin is permanent on his face as well as his confidence, especially when he’s around you. But with you, somehow it’s easy to lose his own balance, as in his behavior, or his standing posture.

He started to trip himself while talking to you, he started to stutter, he never stuttered, never. He might lose some part of his memory but he knows that he never stutter to anyone before.

So what makes his behavior changes around you? Simple, he has feelings for you, feelings that he never expected to have.

After overcoming his own insecurity and anxiety that grows when he’s around you, he’s ready to confess his love. The thing is, he is bad at timing, and apparently the situation which it always occurred is always terrible.

He tried once, when you were healing him, away from everyone and the hunter. It was at Leo’s Memory and he couldn’t help but get distracted by the snow that falls and rests on your hair.

He took a shaky breath, but before he could muster any words, a flash of black and red light appear near the cipher where you were healing him.

So the two of you booked it as he pushed you aside so that the hunter’s attention would be onto him, and not you.

Fail.

He then planned the confession, when the two of you got a friendly Jack. But as he was about to confess, Jack decided to use his rose cane accessory and picked you up bridal style. Building up the jealousy within his heart that he couldn’t express as he sees your smiling face.

Fail.

Confessing in matches seems to have proven to be difficult, so maybe he should confess outside of matches?

He try to get alone with you by the manor’s garden, Emily and Emma was there, asking if they could join the conversation right before he was about to confess.

He planned something where he would knock on your door at night but he doesn’t want to seem rude, since he knows you’re always tired after a day full of matches.

Fail.

Then, he stopped planning. He planted a motivation where he will confess despite the situation you two might be in.

It was a match against Gamekeeper, you two were the one left in map with the other two already escaped through the gate. Luca had stayed hiding near your chair as he waits for the hunter to leave you for the other gate, after Bane had walked a safe distance away from your chair, he jumped out of his hiding spot and released you off of the rocket chair.

Just as you stand up, he grabbed your hand with his gloved one as he pulled you away to the already opened exit gate.

“Woah Luca, calm down—“

“Calm? Look behind you little snowball!”, as he said these words you look back only to notice Bane already chasing the two of you, as Luca’s grip on your hand tightened, he let out a maniacal laugh, looking back at you with a grin, he called out your name.

“I love you!”.

Thank you for being so considerate with my rules, dear anon! :) Your request was perfectly fine, and I really enjoyed writing it, so thank you for sharing your idea with me. I hope you enjoy the result. Stay safe too! 

Sleep is for the weak – Cloud Strife x reader

“You work too hard, (Y/N).” Cloud’s voice was full of concern as he watched you from the doorway. You sat at the kitchen table, your hands buried in your hair while you tried to focus on the books in front of you. “I know,” you replied absent-mindedly. “But I need to finish this paper as soon as possible if I don’t want to get into trouble.”

Cloud crossed his arms in front of his chest. He knew that you were an ambitious person and that you always tried to do your best but this time, you clearly put too much work into your assignment. You stayed up late every day and got up long before sunrise. Even Cloud who was an early riser had been still asleep when you got back to your work in the morning.

“It won’t help if you pass out because you’re exhausted,” he said and sat down next to you. The pile of books on the table was intimidating, even more so since he knew that you probably read all of them today. “I know that you work hard for your success, love,“ he continued softly and reached out to place his hand on your arm. “But this time, it’s too much. You need to rest; you slept maybe four hours last night.”

You removed his hand from your arm, intertwining your fingers with his for a brief moment. Then, you brought your attention back to the book in front of you. “Sleep is for the weak, baby,” you mumbled, even though you had to admit that he was right. You were so tired that you could barely keep your eyes open, and you struggled to keep your mind on your assignment but you needed to finish this damn paper before you could allow yourself to relax. Some nights, you even dreamed about it, sometimes failing completely, sometimes achieving great success. It was burdening and exhausting and you wished you were finally done but as long as you weren’t satisfied with your work you weren’t going to stop.

Hope you like it, Biz!!! 💜✨✨✨

For songs, I listened heavily to Falling by Keahiwai while writing this. And for my fellow Filipinos, I also listened to Walang Iba by Ezra Band and Alipin by Shamrock while writing. I have so many feels for those two songs omg.

Giyuu x F!S/O: “Everyone thinks we’re already dating, but we’re just best friends- oh wait” (Cliché Prompts, Modern AU, SFW Scenario):

Warnings: Mild Adult Themes, Cliffhanger

“Bring your boyfriend along on Saturday, (Y/n). It will be fun,” Leiko, one of (Y/n)’s friends from university, exclaimed happily as she clapped her hands together in excitement.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH- I’m dying. Our first headcanons, I’m kinda scared tbh. It’s not the best since it’s the first time we do that type of stuff but we really hope you guys will enjoy it !!! :’)

At first, he can’t believe it. He’s dating you and you’re dating him. He’d be so surprised that you like him that way. Like, wow.

No seriously, whenever you announce to someone that you’re dating him, he’s as shocked as the person processing the information.

You’re probably the one who asked him out in the first place. That baby boy could never bring up the courage to do it; he’s way too insecure. Why would someone like him ?

During your confession, he’ll deny all the good things you said about him with the most heart breaking expression on his face. He can’t believe it; he doesn’t want to believe anyway.

He’s persuaded that every compliment you gave him is a lie and it just breaks your heart to see him think so poorly of himself.

You decide to do your best to prove him that you genuinely care about him, that you genuinely like him. So you try and do absolutely anything to make him believe you; from the big things like presents, fancy dates, obnoxious love declarations, etc… to the small things like holding and squeezing his hand, complimenting him…

It’d take a while but he’d finally accept it. He’s still as insecure but he believes you a little more.

He’s completely terrified at the idea of losing you. Just the thought of it makes him sick.

Prepare yourself to be wrapped in bubble wrap more than one time.

He’ll do anything in his power to protect you and make you the happiest person alive.

He’s an awkward man with little to zero experience at socializing so you guess that he knows absolutely nothing about dating. The first few months will probably just be you dying in laughter because of all the things he did wrong.

(He thinks you’re mocking him but you’re actually just smitten by how cute he is with all the efforts he puts in your relationship.)

After a while, he’d try and take you on a surprise date that he planned entirely by himself and he’s absolutely terrified; he’s just so scared you’d hate it.

But you’d be really happy and probably give him a big bear hug while telling him you’re really lucky to have him.

(Needless to say, he’d blush-)

He also start getting a few cute habits when you give him surprise attention; he starts fidgeting his fingers and try to look away from you. Just cup his face and peck his lips and you got a puddle Giyuu !

He’d start opening up to you at night, when you both can’t sleep. You two sit somewhere in the garden of his estate and he talks to you about his past, his intrusive thoughts, his guilt…

Please, be supportive and hold him tight. The next morning his eyes might be red and swollen but believe me, he’d never felt so peaceful.

If you’re sad, he’ll listen to you and try and make all your worried go away the best he can; he doesn’t want you to feel what he feels on a daily basis.

Giyuu will probably complain to you about Shinobu and her endless teasing but you always notice the very slight smirk he gets when he talks about her. She might not see him as a friend and he might be cold with her but she holds a special part in his heart (he might admit, one day, if faith accepts it, that he kinda sees her as a friend. Not sure when)

Shinobu probably took you apart one time and told him that you don’t have to date Giyuu out of pity (as a joke ofc).

You low-key scolded her for saying something like that but you both kinda made a silent alliance to make Giyuu go crazy.

Let’s say he might as well go bury his hopes and dreams of not being teased already.

He low-key cherish your teasing though. He’ll never admit it, of course. But even if you two spend so much time annoying him, you still decided to spend time on HIM. And it just warm his heart…

Until you decided to make him choke on chocolate cake. He really don’t know how you thought it was a good idea.

Giyuu’ll cough up the remains of the chocolate. He’ll gulp some water and look at you with a very shocked face. “Why?!?”

“Ara, ara, Tomioka-san~ it’s not like it’s the first time we make a bad     joke !”

“I’m…so sorry, honey-“ and you two just die laughing while Giyuu silently judges you.

He forgives you eventually.

He always does.

If you guys are walking together and you suddenly feel him freeze and grab your arm, a dog is probably nearby. Try and take a different route or move the puppy far enough from him.

DON’T, DO NOT, NEVER kiss Giyuu in public. Especially if the other Pillars are there. He might die on the spot.

Giyuu.EXE has stopped working. Error 404.

He’s really not comfortable with PDA. Maybe hand holding, and maybe, maybe, an occasional peck on the cheek.

Pinky holding please. You’d never think he’d like it but he just loves the intimacy it brings.

Giyuu’s kisses are soft, you can’t tell me otherwise.

He can’t help it. He just loves kissing you gently, delicately. And it’s LONG. God, if he kisses you, he won’t stop to save his life; he doesn’t want to stop at ALL. 

Breathing ? Air? Don’t know them.

If he stops, it’s only cause you need to.

If you tell him you want another kiss, he’d turn bright red but will do it nonetheless.

Ever since this relationship started, he’s probably beet red half the time.

You’ll make Giyuu come out of his shell with the Kamado boy, it’s almost a certainty. He’s gonna have friends with you two around, there’s no way he’s staying alone.

Because of you, he’d try so hard to befriend the Pillars; you never seen him stick to Sanemi and Obanai much. He just wants them to stop hating him. He’ll probably try bringing Sanemi some ohagi with Tanjiro but you’ll stop them cause you don’t want them to get killed.

You eventually end up trying to talk to Sanemi about NOT killing your boyfriend because he’s actually really sweet and is far from believing himself above the other pillars (like hell Sanemi, you don’t know how much an insecure baby Giyuu actually is)

Giyuu is low-key never jealous. If you gained his trust, you gained it in every way possible and he will never think of you as possibly cheating or anything.

Sometimes you guys train together. At first, he’d go easy, but not so easy on you, if you get what I mean? Like, he wants you to be able to protect yourself from demons so he won’t lose another person he cherishes but at the same time he really doesn’t want to hurt you.

After a while, he made up his mind and decided to go hard on you and since that day he has NO MERCY-

You’re not going to die on him. Never. He wouldn’t be able to take it.

When you guys finish, you’ll just sit there exhausted but you’re glad he’s training you well, and spending time with him is a big plus.

He’s a big cuddler behind closed doors and a 100% little spoon, fight me.

He likes feeling safe in your arms, and he buries his head in your neck. Hold him tight. Play with his hair and pamper his face with kisses. He loves it 

what i can do (giyu tomioka×reader)

word count: 1kwarnings: none

a/n: i envision this “relationship” as a found family kind of thing, but you’re free to interpret it as whatever you want!

The Water Estate has always been a lonely place, but you don’t really mind, you’ve grown used to it. It’s been like this for a while. Ever since your classic ‘you saved me from a demon’ encounter that immediately led to an ‘I owe you my life, please let me repay you somehow’ agreement, taking care of the place became your responsibility. Cleaning, cooking and laundry. Day in, day out.

Even though doing repetitive tasks is something that helps you keep your peace of mind, they become… taxing when there’s nothing else to do.

Your only source of recreation or entertainment comes from the Master of the Estate himself.

“You’re… boring”

Giyu directs a blank stare at you, and blinks a couple of times before actually answering. “Sorry?”

“You’re boring! Don’t you have any hobbies? Or things you like to do other than… killing demons or sword fighting? Like… I don’t know, playing an instrument? Calligraphy? Bonsai?”

You aren’t surprised when he can’t actually give you a proper response. You can’t help but feel you’re out of line, since you’re his maid… sort of, but seeing him react to your unfiltered thoughts is funny.

“I have never really had the time to develop one” The pillar sets his tea cup on the table, and sighs as he looks out to his surprisingly well kept garden. “Do you have any hobbies?”

You’re a bit taken aback by his question since he never really asked about you, maybe just out of consideration since it could trigger trauma relating to your life before the demon attack on your family.

“I like gardening”

There’s the faintest smile creeping up on Giyu’s lips. “I can tell”

You only ever see him once in a blue moon, but it only makes the times when he comes back home way more special. Sometimes he’s bloodied and beat, and you freak out trying to find a way to help him. Sometimes sneaks back inside in the dead of night and you’re ready to bust his kneecaps with a wooden training sword he leaves hanging around in his training grounds.

“You need to stop doing that! It’s bad for my heart!”

It’s only after you land a good blow on him that knocks the air out of his lungs that he solemnly promises to never do it again.

Sometimes he sits in the middle of your garden, paying special attention to plum blossoms. His fingers reach for their petals delicately, and he lingers. You’ve seen him do this a couple of times before, but you’ve never really had the courage to ask why, so you only limit yourself to taking care of them thoroughly whenever he’s gone.

There’s a certain distance you know needs to be kept. You’re not entitled to know his life story just because you live with him.

You find him sleeping in the garden one morning, and you’re immediately in worry mode. Sure, spring has already started but it’s still cold outside! He could catch a cold or something! You scramble your way to him, and you’re ready to give him a piece of your mind, when his eyes flutter open the tiniest bit. His hand reaches out to you.

“Tsutako-nee…”

His voice is soft, almost childish.

“…The plums are beautiful this year too”

He switches back to sleeping, and you’re left with a bunch of questions rolling inside your mind, but you come back to your senses quickly enough.

There’s a certain distance that needs to be kept. I’m not entitled to know his life story.

You come back a few hours late to find him in deep slumber yet again.

“Hey” You poke him with wooden training sword a couple of times to make him come back to his senses. “I prepared a bath for you, get back inside, I’ll call you when dinner’s ready”

He yawns, and takes a few moments to reenter the realm of the living. “How long… was I asleep?”

“I found you here early in the morning and the sun is about to set, so you tell me” You offer him a hand, and he takes it to help himself stand up.

“…Thank you”

Silence between the two of you isn’t usually awkward, you’re used to him being quiet and aloof most of the time, but you still can’t shake the need to ask him about his recent behavior. You take a bit of radish in your chopsticks and bring it to your mouth, chewing slowly as you examine the man who sits across the table.

The moment he makes eye contact with you makes you almost choke on your food. “Is something wrong?” When there’s no answer from you, he just goes back to eating.

You set down your chopsticks, letting out a soft sigh.

“Holding everything in doesn’t help, you know?”

“I don’t understand”

“You’ve been acting weird and I’m worried”

His gaze escapes to the garden, and he admires the way the moonlight bounces off the lustrous blossoms.

“You don’t have to tell me anything if you don’t want to, but if there’s anything I can do to help please let me know… Even though we aren’t blood related, I feel like you’re the only family I have left… So please… Let me help you” It’s like word vomit, you can’t stop yourself from saying everything you have been holding in for a while now. “I can’t do much, I’m weak and feeble, but at least let me be your strength in those times of need”

You just want to save the person who once saved you from a terrible fate.

His initial reticence discourages you a little bit.

“I lost my sister to a demon when I was very young” He doesn’t make eye contact with you, eyes fixed on those flowers. “Plum blossoms were her favorite”

It takes a few seconds for him to finally meet your gaze. “Spring is bittersweet for me, but I was very happy when I noticed they started to bloom, and when I saw you so earnestly taking care of them” 

You’ve never seen such a gentle expression of his face before. “Thank you”
