Hideki sat on the edge of the kitchen counter, hands in his lap, thumbs twidling. He didn’t want to be here with Kou ranting and raving about how “you’re meant to be the smart one” and continually asking “why didn’t you call us?” It’s all the typical nonsense they’d both be spewing towards Seiichi when he does something stupid. Hideki felt so hypocritical.

“ Can you pass me an ice pack? Please? ” He asked, speaking for the first time since he arrived unannounced at their door, nose bloodied, eye swollen and lip split. Seiichi had gone off somewhere, presumably to break something, Aoi followed to go calm him down, or something, and Kou was left with interrogation. One of the first things the resident ghost had said was, “I’m going to murder them,” something Hideki really does not want.

Kou asked again, “Who did this?” as he passed Hideki an icepack.

“ Look it doesn’t matter, alright? I don’t need you or Sei to fight my battles for me, I’ve been doin’ this a long time— do you really think this is my first time getting beat up? ” the anger is unjustified but, at that moment, Hideki just wanted to get patched up and move on. “ Just drop it, ok? I’ve got it sorted. ” a small lie. He would have it sorted, just, not by people he cares about.

No one likes walking alone at night, even seasoned crooks, especially when you’re tired. With Seiichi still out of it, Hideki had been opening up and locking up the cafe, meaning the trek home starts a lot later than it normally does. With his winter gear zipped up tight, he walks back through the alleyways, knowing them like the back of his scaled hands. Yet, it seemed busier this evening, bins rattling, cats yowling, all those classic horror tropes.

The thing that really look the piss was his phone, it’d been silent all day and, suddenly, a loud “ BOO! ” sent him screaming, as he jumped up and latched onto a wall, his scales quickly fading him into the background. Then he heard it, the distinctive, ghost like cackling. Checking his phone, it was a timed text from the one and only ghost, asking Hideki if he liked his new ring tone. 

Realistically Hideki should’ve started fearing for his safety when Ghosty asked if he wanted to hang out, the spectre never wanted to simply hang out, there is always a catch. Last time it was just a general Halloween spook. The next time fear should’ve set in his bones was when he entered the shared apartment as Kou was being nice and that’s too nice. However, the chameleon shrugged it off.

“We are friends. Isn’t this what friends do?” Ok, he actually had no idea of what friends usually do- still new to this whole ‘having friends’ thing, but who cares, this was going to be fun. And fun in his book usually meant scaring the living shit out of the chameleon kid, unfortunately for him.

“Come on- this is an easy one, I beat it in no time. I’ll even help you if you’re stuck, isn’t that great?” Admittedly, any kind of horror game was usually like a walk in the park for him, the dark and grim atmosphere that terrified others barely a bother to him, but damn, was it fun to see people scream. And so he watched as the game’s intro began to play, very casual as he opened a bag of chips and started eating.

Slow day. Eh, maybe it was better this way, anyway. Admittedly, Seiichi was still recovering somewhat from that intense fight the other day. He puffed out smoke, taking a moment to wipe some of the tables. A brown eye glanced over to his friend.

Hey there! Do you like snarky, sarcastic vigilantes who meme their hearts out, but act serious af when it counts? A guy who’s loyal to people who he think deserves it? Someone who keeps hush with villain activities - save for when they involve the safety of kids ( and just has really grey morals in general lmao )?

THEN I HAVE THE MUSE FOR YOU!

Let me introduce Seiichi Kaji - aka Ether. He runs a cafe ( and boy does he love to cook ) where questionable people tend to gather at certain times of the day for information and meetups. He’s tolerant to most ( unless you start shit ) and has a soft spot for children. He may also work with a group of people who kidnap kids from abusive households and keep them safe. But watch out for when he gets angry! That Micro-Oxygen Manipulation quirk can be a real doozy when he’s pissed enough to actually use it ( and not just fuck around with people ).

Give this post a like/reblog and I’ll check your shit out!

“I know I didn’t have to, you fucking dumbass.” Kou has always been so stubborn. Sometimes, it even rivaled Seiichi’s own ass. He puffed out smoke, putting a cigarette in his mouth before lighting it. “But I wasn’t about to let your stupid face live in a fucking warehouse alone. That place was a fucking dump. AND it didn’t have heat.” Did it even have running water? How the hell did Kou manage to be there for - who knows how long?
