kiss me

pairing(s) enjin, zanka, gris, follo, corvus, august & tamsy x cleaner! reader and jabber & zodyl x raider! reader

desc. sharing a kiss with them. (possible manga spoilers for tamsy, food tw for zodyl and body image tw for august)

wc 3017 (each fic is varying in length)

enjin smelling the familiar acrid scent of a recently lit cigarette, you let out a huff of frustration and went off in search of the culprit. it was only several days ago that he had promised to at least make an attempt on cutting back on his habit, especially if he was indeed serious about pursuing you as he had claimed.

finding him seated on a barstool chair that had surely seen better days, you watch his relaxed expression contort into one of horror as he notices the situation he’s gotten himself into. blurting out your name and starting to sound off excuses, you grab the cigarette that was hanging loosely out of the side of his mouth and silenced him with a kiss, causing him to lean back in surprise. before he had the chance to kiss back and place a hand on your waist to pull you closer, you step back and wave the cigarette between the two of your faces, silently reveling in his disgruntled features.

AUTHOR’S NOTE. happy pride month y’all! it took me a long time to do this due to a lack of ideas (I have a big ahh writer’s block right now)... I did it without any angst just because it’s pride month, but you don’t know how much I wanted to add a little of what it’s really like to be in a mlm relationship lmao. so enjoy the unoriginality of this fanfic and these lame excuse of hcs. also I would like to write a version with the girls next.

ENJIN

At first, he was a little confused about liking a guy. He liked hot chicks, right? Well, it seems like he likes guys, too.

He’s TOTALLY convinced that you awakened something in him that he didn’t even know was there.

He’s a pretty laid-back boyfriend but attentive in his own way. If you’re having a bad day, he’ll try to help you—which might accidentally make it worse, depending on how much patience you have to listen to him bugging you all day…

But if it’s really serious, he’ll completely change his behavior and act more seriously toward you. He knows when to stop, even if it doesn’t seem like it. He’ll immediately ask you what’s wrong.

Surprisingly, he knows certain details about you that others probably wouldn’t notice. You might find it odd that he pays attention to such minor things.

His affection in public would seem ‘normal’ for friends to others if they didn’t know the truth. Of course, that makes no sense at all in private because, you know. He isn’t usually very affectionate around other people, but it’s not exactly a secret to others that you two are dating.

In private, he’s usually very different. He seeks your attention more when you’re together, and he becomes more physical. Kisses are his favorite, and he likes you to feel close to him.

He tries not to smoke around you, especially if you don’t smoke and don’t like the smell.

Get used to spending time with his team members. He spends just as much time with them as he does with you. He’d like you and them to get along as soon as you meet. You’re his inner circle, after all.

Riyo might even joke that you look like “newlywed parents” whenever you’re with them.

They’ll be very curious about you once they get to know you better. They want to know who could put up with Enjin for very long (Rudo’s doubt), because from their point of view, he’s sometimes a little…

Yeah, you’d have to have that ability to forgive him for everything. Over time this will become less and less of an issue, don’t worry. You’ve scared him (he doesn’t want to admit it) before by suggesting you’d probably break up with him for being a jerk.

Nothing to do with cheating or anything like that—he’d never do that. He’s just sometimes a jerk without even realizing it.

TAMSY

He’s got it all, no matter how you look at it. He’s the perfect boyfriend.

He’d treat you really well, within reason. He doesn’t seem to care that he likes another guy, and he doesn’t hide it from you or make a big deal out of it.

Tamsy is one of those guys who doesn’t show much physical affection in front of others, and he isn’t clingy. He prefers other things over that. What is certain is that he’ll always be close to you in public. Always.

Since you’re his boyfriend, you have a great privilege, even if it doesn’t seem like it. You can invade his personal space without him pushing you away or telling you to back off after a few seconds, and you can also touch his hair and play with it, something he normally doesn’t like people doing without his permission.

He spends a lot of time styling his hair in the mornings, after all.

It’s well known that he likes passionate people, so he’d probably like it if you had some of that in you.

He has a slight habit of dragging you along to do whatever he wants. If he wants to go in a different direction on a mission, you’re there. If he wants to go out, maybe you’re there too.

He doesn’t even know why he does it. It’s not in a clingy way, he just does it.

His sense of humor is very peculiar. He’ll make strange comments with a completely blank expression on his face, leaving you wondering whether he was actually joking or not.

He tends to disappear out of nowhere without warning to do who-knows-what. He never tells you nothing.

You’d stay with him even if he were someone completely different from what he usually shows you, right?

ZODYL

Your relationship is weird.

You don’t even know when you started dating? The other Raiders wouldn’t know you two were a couple until later, either.

Chtoni was the first to realize that your relationship with her boss was different from everyone else’s. She never asked. Instead, she always made sure to teleport you to Zodyl first after missions.

He shows almost no reaction at all, so at the beginning of the relationship it would be hard to read him or know what he wants.

Like he will seem completely disinterested when he actually enjoyed being with you.

Even though it might not seem like it, you’re the one he trusts the most among the Raiders. He won’t treat you any differently than the others (at least not while they’re around), he might simply give you the hardest part of a mission, confident that you’ll handle it well. He’ll talk to you quite casually about backup plans in case something goes wrong. He knows you don’t need them most of the time, but he wants to make sure you survive just in case something happens.

As for kissing… you’d be cautious. Zodyl tends to eat disgusting things. You don’t really feel like kissing him right after he’s literally just eaten a cockroach. You don’t blame him, obviously—that’s just how his Vital Instrument works—but… no.

It’s not like he’d get upset about it, you do have a point.

I don't think he gets jealous. When someone flirts with you in front of him, he doesn't react. If he notices they are making you uncomfortable, he'll just stare at them until they leave. He saves you the trouble of them even thinking about doing it again next time.

He tends to talk a little more when he’s alone with you compared to his usual self. He’s fully aware of that. It’s a rare sign of affection toward you. He’s not good with words, so he thinks this is how you’ll know he’s interested in you. For someone like him who’s very distant with everyone, it’s a huge deal for him to do that.

You’ll almost never hear him say anything romantic—it would be a long time before he did. Instead, he makes up for it by remembering EVERYTHING about you and EVERYTHING you told him a long time ago. You’d be going about your business, and suddenly he’d say something you told him months ago. It’s funny because you don’t remember it, but he does.

CORVUS

Consider yourself lucky. Seriously.

Being someone very close to Corvus is very strange.

He’ll try to give you the attention you deserve, even if he’s really busy sometimes. He’ll never leave you feeling neglected, no matter how much he has to do—you can be sure of that. He wouldn’t want to leave you feeling that way either.

He’s very aware of your relationship. You’ll always be one of his top priorities!

Very observant—too observant, even. Didn’t sleep well? In the morning you’ll have coffee or tea brewed just the way you like it. Not feeling well? He’ll be there to listen patiently to whatever you have to say. Did you hurt yourself? He’ll encourage you to go see Eishia as soon as possible, even before you’ve had a chance to tell him you’ve hurt yourself a little. You never know how he knows.

Since you’re in a relationship with him, he wants to make sure you know you’re equals. He doesn’t want you to feel inferior just because of his job and role. He thinks it’s important to remind you of your qualities in a natural way whenever necessary.

If he has to leave HQ to take care of one of his responsibilities, he might buy you something he knows you’ll like as an apology for being away so long.

Remember that jacket of his? Now it’s half yours.

If you’re willing, he’d also let you take charge while he’s away. He trusts you and your abilities, he knows you can handle it perfectly well. When he gets back, he always thanks you with a kiss on the cheek and says: “You did well, love.”

Because of your relationship, you probably have more information than most Cleaners. He’s totally open to sharing certain things with you to see what you think about them.

However, he’ll try to keep the information he thinks is the most obscure to himself. Not because he thinks you’re mentally weak or that you can’t handle it, he just prefers not to worry you about those things.

Aside from that information, there are also certain things he hasn’t told you about completely… for example, his tattoo.

BRO

I don’t know why, but you two would be the dads of Team Child.

Guita and Dear will be like your children from the very first second you’re with him.

At first, you might have had to earn Dear’s trust, but after you spent more time with his dad he accepted you.

Or at least, he agreed to be with you because his dad won’t leave your side. Guita had no trouble adjusting. From day one, she was glued to you with excitement and talking to you nonstop. Bro had to ask her to let you rest for a moment.

He’s protective of you. He often asks how you’re doing. If you’re not together on a mission, he’ll be hoping you don’t get hurt and that everything’s okay. He worries way too much about you.

He’s very calm. If any conflict or argument comes up between you, he’ll try to resolve it as peacefully as possible.

Bro is a green flag, you won’t find any toxic behavior in him, so enjoy it because he won’t do anything wrong as time goes on with you.

Interestingly, for someone who’s 6’5” (even if you’re the same height as him), he seems like a huge teddy bear because of how affectionate he is in private. It’s most noticeable when the two of you sleep together.

He doesn’t show much affection around the children. He usually just rests his hand on your back when you walk together or when you’re near him. It’s a habit of his that he finds quite comfortable.

He wants to help you solve any problems you might have, or quietly take care of something you’ve been meaning to do for a while. He’s very happy when he helps you with any difficulties or pending tasks you have.

One thing you should tell him is to work on that habit of apologizing to you when it’s not his fault.

GRIS

He really cares about you.

One of the sweetest boyfriends. He’ll be completely devoted to your relationship, incredibly loyal to you and deeply committed to the bond between you.

He’s very emotionally stable. Gris communicates assertively and is emotionally responsible. There won’t be a single problem between you two that he can’t resolve.

Gris is known for being kind to his fellow cleaners, and he’s that way with you, too—even a little more so, in fact. You’re his boyfriend, and he hopes the relationship will last long enough that at some point you’ll become his husband, so why wouldn’t he treat you as well as he can to make you happy?

He’s fully aware of his strength. He’ll avoid accidentally hurting you whenever there’s physical contact—especially during hugs. You’d be surprised at how gently his arms wrap around you, applying almost no pressure at all.

He often fixes your things, usually without you realizing it. It’s happened many times that he’ll take your uniform to August when you tell him it’s torn or needs mending. Later, you’d find it back in your room, perfectly pressed and in good condition again. You wouldn’t need to wonder who he is.

This man prays to his amulet for you every time you go out on a mission. He never tells you this, but your name will always be on the list of everyone he wants to see return safe and sound.

As for missions, he won’t show much concern either (unless you’re injured), you’ll always see him smiling and cheering you on from a distance. He’s very proud of his boyfriend.

He keeps the gifts or little things you give him, no matter if they are irrelevant. He finds value in all of them.

“Gris, is that the gift I gave you before we started dating?” “Yes, is there a problem…?”

GOUNTESS

The two of you met when you were very young.

Back then, having two friends was more than enough for him. He really enjoyed spending time with you and Lily—it made him feel like he was living a normal life.

Actually, the way you became a couple was an accident on Lily’s part. Since they were your closest friends, she was the only one you could tell how you felt to. Gountess realized it because of that little slip-up, and it worked out well for him because, even though he felt the same way, he was very shy when it came to romance. He silently thanked Lily for indirectly clearing things up.

At the beginning of the relationship, he was still shy, something as innocent as briefly holding your hand would make him blush. He couldn’t even look you in the eye.

He cares deeply about you and wants to protect you, so he’s constantly trying to keep you from getting hurt.

Since he can’t leave the house much because of his illness, you’ll spend most of your time at his grandparents’ house. Every time you arrived, your favorite meals were waiting for you (clearly arranged by him on purpose). After eating with him and his grandparents, you’d play simple games and spend time together.

Gountess likes to teach you things you don’t know. Seeing the look of happiness on your face when you do well at what he taught you makes him very committed to continuing to be a sort of teacher to you in a way.

He’s terrible at processing overly direct expressions of affection. If you ever tell him you love him, he’ll freeze up, thinking about what he just heard. He’s a very sensitive guy when it comes to emotions—those simple words from you would mean the world to him.

He still wonders how you ever came to like him. He can’t spend much time out and about or go to other places. He was a bit resentful when you first met and wasn’t very cheerful, but he’s grateful to have run into someone like you who truly loved him.

It’s a shame that the last time you saw him was many years ago.

Don’t worry, Gountess is still thinking about you.

FOLLO

He wanted to train to pick up girls. He accidentally picked up guys. It wasn’t what he planned.

It doesn’t bother him much, though.

You’ll always be remembered for his acts of service! He’s very devoted to you.

He likes to be helpful and will try to assist you in any way he can. If you need to go somewhere a little far away, he’ll go with you, no matter how tired he is from a mission, he’ll be there.

I feel like he might also be a little shy about physical contact. He will feel embarrassed when you are very affectionate.

He doesn’t usually talk about when he’s feeling down or any other negative emotions. He always keeps them to himself until he can’t take it anymore and eventually explodes, which might cause problems between the two of you because of that. You’ll have to help him express what he’s feeling without making him feel judged.

Something that might seem a bit contradictory is that Follo would help you no matter how much he was struggling with his own problems. You’ve helped him a lot, so he wants to make sure he’s there for you and return the favor whenever you need it.

He’s a bit affectionate. Most of the time, he’d reach out to you to grab a meal together, spend time doing simple things, or just to have you around for no other reason.

In a way, you’ve become someone who’s motivated him to be better and stronger. Seeing you fight or your Vital Instrument pushes him to take better care of his hammer for that purpose, as well as to be able to take care of you in the future. He doesn’t want (or like) it to always be you who takes care of him.

I don’t know if this makes any sense at all, but I think he’d like to see you wearing a hat like his, at least once. He’d like to match it with his own so you’d look the same. Better yet, lend you his! He thinks about that from time to time.

Every now and then, he thinks he doesn’t deserve a boyfriend like you. He truly believes you deserve someone stronger or better than him.

RUDO

To be honest, he was confused about liking a boy.

However, he got over it pretty quickly and started spending time with you. More than usual, probably not in a way that’s just friendly. There was clearly something there…

You probably won him over with candy. That made him realize his feelings faster when he didn’t mind sharing some of his candy with you.

Anyway, once the two of you became a couple and he got over his trust issues, Rudo will be a really sweet boyfriend!

At first, he might be nervous and blush around you (most of the time), but the more time you spend together, the less of a problem this will be. Give him time, he’s not used to this kind of affection and romantic stuff.

Lowkey, he likes watching you fight trash beasts. He doesn’t even know why he’s so surprised when you fight one right in front of him. “My boyfriend can do all those things?” That kind of thing.

He really likes holding hands with you, too. It’s one of the physical displays of affection he finds most pleasant. Feeling the touch of your bare hand wrapped in his gloved hand makes him feel really good. He might even let you hold his hand without his big gloves later on. The skin-to-skin touch felt so much better than he thought it would.

Unfortunately, that can’t happen very often because his hands are hypersensitive when he doesn’t wear gloves for long periods of time, much to his misfortune.

Can you believe that in all the time you've been dating, Rudo has never dared to kiss you anywhere other than on the cheek? Sometimes he tries to work up the courage, but it ends up backfiring.

He likes it when you stick around while he's busy rummaging through the trash, working with it, or picking out items to use later if he has a mission. If he's feeling really indecisive, he might ask for your help.

Rudo tends to be very honest and speaks his mind. When you ask him for his opinion on anything, he’ll answer without thinking twice. If he accidentally makes you feel bad, he will apologize and it won’t happen again. He doesn’t like to hurt the people he cares about. Hurting you is definitely not something he wants to do.

He doesn’t usually fall in love easily. If he’s noticed you, it’s because he loves you so much.

ZANKA

Another guy who thought he shouldn’t have fallen so hard for you.

He’s terrible at giving compliments—he can’t even say one to your face. You’ll have to learn to read between the lines to pick up on them.

On the other hand, when you compliment him he really likes it. Zanka tends to seek validation from the people close to him, especially from you!

He doesn’t usually show much PDA in public either. He’s not exactly comfortable with it. He thinks it’s better to wait until you’re alone to show that kind of affection.

VERY productive and disciplined. You wouldn’t see him sleeping next to you when you woke up, or you might not even see him at all because he gets up so early (whether on purpose or not, he usually lets you sleep a little longer).

He’d like to train with you often. He wants you to take sparring with him seriously. Zanka won’t hold back much either, but he’ll try to avoid hitting you too hard. He couldn’t stand the thought of accidentally leaving a bruise on you because of him.

Zanka hates fighting with you and would try to avoid it if possible. However, whenever there’s a fight, he’d always try to resolve it by talking to you about the misunderstanding or problem before it escalates into something worse and ruins the relationship.

He might feel insecure at times, but he doesn’t play games when you feel the same way. If that ever happens, he’d remind you of what you’ve accomplished and your abilities in a very honest way. He knows how it feels. If he can help you feel better, he’ll do it.

Now, the reverse of that is a bit complicated. You’d have to be there for him, too, so he stops putting himself down. It would be hard, but in the end you could make him feel better. He makes an exception for you. He hates it when other people see him that way.

Zanka wouldn’t date someone just for a short time. Absolutely not. If you’re his boyfriend, he’d already be thinking about wanting to keep the relationship going for a long time. He’s very committed once he’s in love.

Finally, his siblings wouldn't know about you. Zanka doesn't have a good relationship with them, and he doesn't want them to cross paths with you. That's why he might even hide you from them.

FU

He really doesn't know what to do. He's never been in a romantic relationship before.

He’s excited inside because he already knows you love him. After all, you’re already a couple!

But then what is he supposed to do…?

He’ll be by your side almost all the time! He does this because it’s one of the things he likes best. You’ll always find him by your side when you walk somewhere in HQ, or he’ll sit next to you whenever he gets the chance.

Every time he does a favor you asked of him, he’ll wait expectantly for you to tell him if he did it right. If you don’t say anything, he will immediately apologize, thinking he did it wrong. You’ll have to help him out a little with that.

He’s very shy. In public he might just tug on your sleeve. If you’re the one who initiates physical contact first in a more affectionate way, he’ll blush and tremble a little, though he won’t pull away. He’ll let you kiss him, pinch his cheeks, or hug him as often as you like.

The only form of physical contact where he takes the initiative and doesn’t get as nervous later on is resting his head on your shoulder when he’s tired. However, he loves affection—he’s really hungry for it. He just doesn’t say so openly because he’s too shy.

He feels jealous in an insecure way. He tends to get down and overthink things, worrying that you’re going to replace him with that person. You should reassure him that this is absolutely not the case. He needs you to constantly remind him that you love and appreciate him.

He LOVES listening to you talk. No matter what the topic is, he’ll listen attentively to everything you have to say. He does so with a gentle smile, without interrupting you, happily listening to your voice.

Hii is a little more cautious around you when you and Fu first met. He’d be somewhat involved in your relationship—or whatever it is. First, he’d observe how you make him feel most of the time to form an opinion about you.

Eventually he’ll accept you because you make him happy, so he’ll put up with you and, if necessary, protect you if you’re ever in danger.

If something happens to you, Fu will be very sad. Hii has to make sure you don’t get hurt when he’s in charge.

GOKA

He was also in denial, at least at first. Why would he like another man? He had to focus on his duty.

He’s as terse as possible with his words. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you.

He shows his love in other ways. He’s more the type to show how he feels about you through his actions.

Don’t even think about skipping meals, not sleeping, or skipping workouts. He’ll ALWAYS notice and ask you why.

This man will surprise you with something you mentioned months ago that you wanted and just leave it there without giving any reasons. He’ll just say a simple: “I saw it. I thought you’d like it.”

He doesn’t know how to react to displays of affection like holding his hand or something similar. He might even get tense if you catch him off guard with something like that. He’ll get used to it over time (and he’ll look forward to it a little, but he’d never admit it).

He hates admitting that he gets jealous (even though he doesn't seem to, he tends to compare himself to others sometimes), what he doesn't realize is that you know it too, when it happens.

It’s obvious enough for you to notice. He gets more serious than usual and responds with sharp remarks. Although he would never make a scene, he would unconsciously give an intimidating look to the person who made him feel that way.

One of the most important things for him would be for you to meet his family, especially Kyouka. If she gives you her approval he’d feel very satisfied deep down. His older sister’s approval is very important to him. It was one of his top priorities when the two of you first started dating.

Speaking of his family, at first they probably didn’t like the idea of Goka dating another guy due to traditional expectations. Despite that, they ended up accepting it after a while when they saw that the relationship was serious, and that Goka wasn’t neglecting his job as a Hell Guard.

With you, he might open up more emotionally and tell you certain things he’d never tell anyone else. He doesn’t trust people easily, consider yourself lucky to see him vulnerable, even if it’s just once.

JABBER

I don’t know if Jabber would even realize he’s in a relationship with you. In fact, you’d never hear him call you “my boyfriend” or anything like that. You could say you’re in a ‘relationship’ that’s strange in its own complex way.

What is clear is that he likes you. You’re interesting and strong, which is probably why he’s so attached to you. I don’t think he’d want to or be interested in dating someone weak.

He’s really annoying when he’s around you. Out of nowhere, while you’re just doing your own thing, he’ll show up saying he’s bored and wants you to stop what you’re doing and entertain him.

Whenever he’s hurt, he’ll go to you on purpose, wanting you to see his injuries and scold him. He’ll snap back at you just to annoy you and get a reaction.

Every now and then, he has a more ‘laid-back’ side with you. He tends to tell you all about his rivals or fights he’s had, which ones he found interesting and which ones he didn’t. You don’t have to say anything—he literally won’t give you a chance to speak. Another thing is that he tends to be very touchy. You’ll have his hands on you very often.

He’s usually closer to you than to the other Raiders. He also knows a lot about you just by observing you.

He gets confused by affection if you show any. He’d look at you and ask you directly why. He won’t stop until you give him a clear answer. He prefers other things you do over that. Like, why hold his hand gently when you could break his wrist? He’ll enjoy that more!

You'd better take off that choker whenever you're not on a mission together. He'll be CALLING you all the time to tell you where he is and what he's doing. It'll be even worse when he gets lost.

“I don’t see… Oh! I SEE ‘EM! See you later if you don’t die, man!” And then you won’t have to listen to him until you meet up again, finally leaving you in peace.

He’ll be rage baiting you for no reason, and he’ll DO IT with a big smile and kicking his feet, making no secret of the fact that he’s enjoying every damn second of it.

The closest thing you’d get to a date with Jabber would be him dragging you along to fight random people who are even remotely worth it (Jabber’s words), so that in the end, you two end up fighting each other.

On top of that, he doesn’t want anyone else. Is there a new person who just joined the Raiders? Interesting, but HE DOESN’T CARE. He wants YOU. He can check out that person later…

AUGUST

The loudest boyfriend you’ll ever have.

Unlike the others, he WON’T keep quiet about his love for you. Not at all!

You’ll spend more time in his workshop than anyone else. He’ll use you as his model and make clothes specifically for you all the time. Eventually, you’ll have a whole bunch of clothes he made for you. They’ll all be your style, so take advantage of the privilege you have as August’s boyfriend.

“BABE, LOOK AT THAT COLOR.” You’d turn around and look at that color confused. “THAT SUITS YOUR EYES!” Then he’ll come up with something new to make for you.

He draws a lot of inspiration from you for his designs. When he finishes them, he usually asks for your opinion on the final result. He wants you to be honest! The problem is that there isn’t a single design of his that needs any improvement. You’d be surprised by his ability to create such things.

Everyone would be indirectly forbidden from talking about you when he’s around. No matter how small the comment, the moment your name comes up, August would turn around abruptly and start raving about you—how he loves you, how amazing you are, how beautiful your style is… he’s constantly bragging about you.

Eishia is embarrassed by how shameless her brother tends to be, so she sometimes asks him to be quiet or speak more softly because everyone is listening. August never listens to her anyway. Deep down, she’s happy her brother has a special someone who loves him.

He likes PDA. He’d wrap an arm around your shoulders to pull you toward him, rest his head on your shoulder, hold your hand or wrist, and even give you quick kisses. He’s very clingy, he doesn’t care if anyone sees you two.

You’re very important to him, so he’ll notice if something’s wrong. For example, if you skipped a meal because you were busy or something like that, he’ll openly encourage you to eat and practically push you to get some food. His boyfriend needs to be well-fed so he can do what he has to do!

Usually, your dates aren't even planned. August doesn't like set dates or time limits. They'll just happen naturally while he's working, or sometimes you'll go into town when he visits his grandmother.

By the way, Alice is happy that her grandson is in a stable, healthy relationship. You'll become part of the family almost immediately once August introduces you to her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: Might have some triggering topics and abuse. I highly doubt they would canonically do this to their partner. But if they decide to take a few bad turns in life and not want to be better- this is something I think they'd do. Some characters might have more red flags written on them only because I can't think of anything else to write for one of them. And yes, this is the characters at the extreme level.

GENERATION OF MIRACLES:

Seijuro Akashi:

- He pulls up with the creepy emperor eyes when he's studying you. It's not a red flag- his eyes are just scary.

- Having a kid together is a requirement for his life. He'd either stick with you thinking you'd change your mind if you do not want any, tell you to get an abortion if the child is said to have future birth defects (even slip crushed up pills or just silently pray). There are things he is empathetic, some things he can slide, but this is non-negotiable.

Daiki Aomine:

- He's more tame now, doesn't get in fights even if someone asks for it- he just intimidates or ignores. Aomine is a idiot, lazy, he ends up never helping with chores, never being bothered to prepare for guests coming over, he's barely passing school and just wants your answers. It looks pathetic. He'd study with you and comply- but when he's been procrastinating and it's last min assignment and you don't allow him freebies- he def argues or yells at you for being petty and annoying.

- He doesn't look at his boobie magazines cause he's not interested in them anymore, he's interested in you. But.... he never throws them out either. Wtf are they- a safety net? On the flip side, you actually find him buying more magazines, after some digging- (lets be real, i doubt he's good at hiding stuff), you find a notebook with magazine cut-outs of a women. - Her eyes and hair are the same as yours. - The body looks around the same as yours, but the eye, mouth, nose- basically the rest are either the same shape, or similar to yours. He is recreating you as close as possible.

Atsushi Murasakibara:

- You may think it's food related or something to do with his laziness. But I think not, Murasakibara actually applies himself in academics, shown in the anime, as for the manga extras- his Teiko report card said his lifestyle isn't bad, and his grades were leaning towards the middle to high range. We all know how he doesn't play with stuff he cares about like basketball and his friends(letting Tatsuya hit him is proof). What's his red flag? Intimidating you and making you feel unsafe. Sometimes he even does it for fun- masking his anger. In the anime out of frustration he kicked a bench, and break a whole ass hoop, which Kagami could've gotten injured. For a guy that's pretty caring this is a 180 and it's cannon.

- He'd break things shared between you, or only go after your things. If come very close to you in a dangerous way. You think he lost control- but in actuality he knows what he's doing deep down. He subconsciously or consciously makes sure never to hurt you, or punch a wall since that would leave an irreplaceable mark. He also never broke his own items which really opened your eyes.

- If he's feeling even more petty because you retaliated with anger, lectures, breaking things too, he's breaking something expensive or meaningful or threatens to break it, or yells at you to break it but never does anything when you refuse- just wanting the argument to stop. The 2nd reason why I think he'd do this is because these items have an attachment to you. He only cares about things attached to him if he's not in a good place.

Shintaro Midorima:

- In Teiko middle school he was seen as selfish asf (probably from being a rich, smart kid who knows). Shutoku high where he's more redeemed he is only allowed 3 selfish acts a day. Midorima either breaks the "3 selfish act" rule, with every excuse in the book. "That rule only applies in school." "Don’t be foolish, [Name]. I taught you better than that.(yes, you’re a pet now, an extension of him, he’s half narcissistic) that was for our own good since we're a team." He made you walk an unreasonably long way home for no reason.

- Fine with being humbled by his teammates, people he considers his equal. Being in a relationship teaches you things you never knew about yourself and your reaction to things. He’d use “psychology” to explain your own emotions which- he’s not wrong about but not completely right about. He changes the phrasing, you correct him sometimes and other times you can’t be bothered. He doesn’t expect it to work instantly, it’s groundwork for a later argument he thinks is for growth. Using this he: He makes excuses for himself Makes you think you’re crazy Lectures you so you get fed up and leave.

Ryota Kise:

- He is so sassy and self-centered being the youngest BOY in his family(every fam dynamic is different but normally these are the most spoiled). If you let him get away with it, he runs with it as if he’s testing boundaries. If you don’t let him get away with it, its an argument that leads nowhere(he also calls you uglier for raising your cortisol for no reason). In the manga, it is said he looks down on others until they treat him normally, or are better at him. He’d ignore you for a day if he sees you as below him.

- He copies your words or tactics of arguments because its more satisfying to make you face off your own words against yourself. If you guilt trip, or talk about letting [X] things slide but not this- yea, he copies that.

- He has selective kindness and cruelty in place and purposefully makes you jealous. He would also try to make it “it’s okay if I, Kise, can have friends and hide my relationship status. BUT YOU?? I dunnnooo… I’d say nahhh.” You have to tell people you have a boyfriend without showing proof(people think you’re a liar), and you can’t have friends either.

Tetsuya Kuroko:

- He makes you feel like shit if you upset him. Not like a kicked puppy but more like a “i did so much for you…” He makes you feel like you lose everything. Like you are dependent on him. He is a shadow, and makes you feel like a shit light, like you’re holding him back, and your greatness and achievements weren't real- it was Kuroko’s. You are instantly hideous if he dumps you no matter how pretty you looked yesterday.

You WILL love this person. It doesn't matter who you loved before; any feelings you had, any promises you made, they will become inconsequential as soon as you lock eyes with the stranger Fate has picked for you.

There's no way to stop it.

There's no way to say "no."

You will meet someone and with a single glance, both of you will become someone new, someone who's now bound to this stranger whether you like it or not, want it or not.

Because Azul is one of the SSRs of this event, and Idia and Malleus look gorgeous as well, I made this card analysis. Hopefully this helps you out as well. Please take note of the reminder of card analysis requests in the Club Cater post. ~ 🐙 Updated as of 11/5/22

Masquerade Azul

Type: Balanced

Max Stats at Lv.80 [GROOVY]

With all buddies (approximately): HP 14,052 ATK 5,349

Magic [Lv.10]

Water: One strong hit with 3-turn ATK UP M on self

Flora: Two strong hits that becomes three if DUO with Jamil is activated

Buddies

Leona [HP S]

Ruggie [ATK S]

Jamil [HP M]

Masquerade Azul is a Water/Flora Balanced SSR with a 3-turn ATK UP M. Already, the makes him more offense oriented than defense. Since his M2 has advantage over his M1, he works really well in Water Basic. Masquerade Azul is similar to Portfest Jack, a fellow Balanced SSR with a 3-turn ATK UP M. Unlike Jack, Azul's duo partner, Jamil, has no cards that boost the ally's attack, so he doesn't get to have additional boosts that makes him even more powerful. Nevertheless, this doesn't undermine Azul's power. Assuming Lv.100 groovy, maxed buddies, and advantage, Azul's duo magic can deal approximately 9.7k~ damage per hit and dealing around 29-30k~ damage in total. It's almost as strong as Dorm Riddle's duo at Lv.100, so Azul is quite strong. Jamil has many cards that pair well with Azul in this test, with Birthday Jamil (Flora/Water), Union Jamil (Water/Flora), Robe Jamil (Flora/Water), Chef Jamil (Water/Flora), and Masquerade Jamil (Flora/Flora) as your many options. Birthday and Union Jamil are SSRs and have duo magic. Robe Jamil is a strong Attack SR, and Chef Jamil is an Attack SR with Azul as his ATK S buddy. Meanwhile, Masquerade Jamil is double Flora with Azul as his ATK M buddy. It's worth noting that if you choose Birthday Jamil, you can add in Union Riddle (Cosmic/Flora) to the team, who has Azul as his duo partner and ATK buddy. Camp Ruggie (Water/Flora) is your best choice to boost Azul's ATK due to his power. If you don't have him, Lab Ruggie (Fire/Water) is a good substitute and also has Jamil as his ATK buddy. As a bonus, Azul has Leona as a buddy, even if only HP buddy, so if your team needs an extra boost in HP for survival, you can add in Dorm Leona (Flora/Flora). Overall, Masquerade Azul may be mainly useful in just Water Basic, but he has great buddy synergy and packs a punch. He's worth investing on, especially if you're seeking to increase your Water score.

Masquerade Idia

Type: Defense

Max Stats at Lv.80 [GROOVY]

Without buddies: HP 9,896 ATK 4,251

With all buddies (approximately): HP 14,843 ATK 5,101

Max Stats at Lv.100 [GROOVY]

Without buddies: HP 11,605 ATK 4,961

With all buddies (approximately): HP 17,407 ATK 5,953

Magic [Lv.10]

Water: One strong hit with 1-turn ATK DOWN L on single opponent

Water: Two strong hits that becomes three if DUO with Epel is activated

Buddies

Deuce [HP M]

Kalim [ATK S]

Epel [HP S]

Masquerade Idia is a double Water Defense SSR with ATK DOWN L. ATK DOWN L cuts half of the damage an opponent inflicts on your team in a turn, which is a very significant debuff. Already, this makes him excellent for a Fire Defense test. However, it's worth noting that Apple Boa Epel (Water/Cosmic) has him as his duo partner, meaning that both of them can be a duo pair for a Basic test. Idia and Apple Boa Epel can be paired together in Fire Basic. One powerful team they can be in is with Dorm Kalim (Water/Cosmic), Dorm Jamil (Cosmic/Fire), and Dorm Ortho (Fire/Water), with Kalim boosting Idia's ATK (and Epel's) and Ortho getting ATK boost from Idia. Idia's buddies have cards that suit Fire Defense. Dorm Deuce (Cosmic/Water) is a Defense SSR whose duo partner is Ace, meaning that you can bring in Lab Ace in the team as well. Meanwhile, Dorm Epel (Water/Fire) is a Defense SSR who has a heal & ATK DOWN S. If you don't have him, Lab Epel (Cosmic/Water) is a great substitute, as he is a Defense card with two ATK DOWN debuffs. If you need more damage to kill the enemy by T5, New Year Kalim (Water/Flora) is useful since his Water magic contains a Continuous heal, but beware of his M2.

A common strategy in Fire Defense is to use Dorm Azul (Water/Water) together with Lab Idia, another double Water card. Dorm Trey (Water/Flora) is also commonly paired with Idia in this test. By replacing Lab Idia, a Balanced card with buffs, with Masquerade Idia, you not only retain two Water magic in your team, but the overall HP of your team will definitely increase. Not counting heals, Dorm Azul + Dorm Trey + Lab Idia (all at MLB) has approximately 37,831 HP while Dorm Azul + Dorm Trey + Masquerade Idia at MLB has approximately 41,042 HP. Overall, Masquerade Idia is a very good card for Fire Defense, with really good buddies and excellent synergy with other powerful cards. He is also useful in Basic tests when paired with Apple Boa Epel. He is an excellent card worth prioritizing your books for.

Masquerade Malleus

Type: Defense

Max Stats at Lv.80 [GROOVY]

Without buddies: HP 10,816 ATK 3,890

With all buddies (approximately): HP 16,223 ATK 4,668

Without buddies: HP 12,684 ATK 4,540

With all buddies (approximately): HP 19,026 ATK 5,448

Magic [Lv.10]

Flora: One strong hit with Medium Heal

Fire: Two strong hits that becomes three if DUO with Sebek is activated

Buddies

Vil [HP M]

Sebek [ATK S]

Jade [HP S]

An innocent theatre student decides to be bad for just one night. He wants to at least try clubbing before he graduates, six months from now. He meets a real bad boy, and he seduces the other man while sloppy drunk. The seduction goes sour when his one night lover starts looking for him. With his various connections. He's not a normal guy.

Hello hello! Thank you for this question!

The memory issues that happen with overblots are particularly interesting because we don't technically know at what point during the process it is that the overblotters lose consciousness!

Were Riddle and Leona even awake inside of their own minds when they tried to kill Ace and Ruggie? Did Azul consciously start stealing everyone's magic, or had he already been taken over on the inside and the physical transformation was the final step?

Riddle does not seem to remember his overblot but it is possible that he remembered his flashback, as he references it when he regains consciousness.

These lines are identical across the game, manga and novel versions of Riddle's story.

Thanks to the second novel we might get more insight into Riddle's overblot that any other (as of this post):

"‘I can manage my own health just fine.’

He says this, but in reality, quite a bit of time had passed before he had been able to so much as stand on his own feet after overblotting.

He had felt so heavy; been in so much pain. It had been as if his entire body had burned itself out, along with his magical power."

-Twisted Wonderland the Second Novel

It seems Riddle had not been even able to stand upright for a while in the novel, though we do see him standing shortly afterwards in the manga (due to the limitations of the visual novel medium, whether he was able to ever stand or not in the game is a little vague. He is escorted out of the scene by Trey and Crowley, and Trey is described as physically supporting him to the nurse's office in the novel).

Leona's first line in the novel is "What did I...," but the lines above are otherwise identical and, like Riddle, Leona does not seem to remember what happened.

When Leona wakes up in the novel, Riddle explains to the others that Leona's consciousness may not have wholly returned yet and he is likely confused about what is going on.

Leona is also described as being physically spent in the novel: he refuses an offer from Crowley to help him up, but he repeatedly braces his hands against the ground as he struggles and fails to stand on his own in a sight that is described as "painful to behold." (He does eventually manage to rise to his feet without help.)

As Leona then suffers through several vengefully violent rounds of Spelldrive (it is explained that, aside from Cater and Trey, the other Spelldrive players like Jamil were unaware of his overblot), it will be interesting to read about his recovery if/when a third novel is released.

Azul doesn't seem to remember that he went "berserk" at all, presumably meaning that he doesn't remember the overblot. But this does not really answer the question of when, exactly, an overblot counts as an overblot: is the physical transformation necessary, or did losing his mind and using his unique magic without his contracts count?

(Azul does not need his contracts to enable his unique magic: he needs them to limit it, as his own magic is too powerful for him to control.)

Much like the others Jamil also seems confused about what happened when he awakes, but unlike the others we receive a little bit more follow up:

Jamil says that he has been able to successfully hide the real reason why he overblotted from his parents and Kalim's family, so while they know it happened, they don't know why.

But Jamil does know, and I think he might be the only overblotter who has come close to insinuating, "Not only is it possible to pinpoint the exact reason why I overblotted, but I know what it was."

(Thank you to @oddberryshortcake for pointing out that it is insinuated that Jamil also needed time to recover from his overblot!)

If the "overblotting happens internally over time as blot accumulates, prior the physical transformation that reflects it" theory is true, Vil reaching his point of no return might be easier to pinpoint than others.

(Vil's reaction upon awakening was localized as "How am I...?" on EN, but I would also suggest the alternative of, "Why am I...?")

Vil, too, seems confused about his situation upon regaining consciousness, but we find out later that he seems to remember a surprising amount about what happened post-transformation: he describes the phantom that appeared behind him in Book 5 as though he remembers seeing it for himself.

(Credit to @unrivalling for this follow-up, thank you very much!)

This is a fascinating revelation--do the other overblotters also remember what happened after they were overtaken, watching the events play out as if they were trapped inside of their own minds?

Idia's reaction upon waking up is identical to Riddle's (in the original game), and--also like Riddle--he might also show signs of remembering something, immediately asking after Ortho (with whom he's been conversing in between being defeated and waking up).

To the initial question: yes! Memory issues seem to be one side effect of overblotting, and it might also be the only effect that gets referenced in the game.

While post-overblot "medical treatment" is referenced it is not specified what kind of treatment was needed for what ailments.
