The young football captain loved his car, most days, except when it decided to break down out of nowhere or make weird noises — he hoped today of all days, the 'phoenix' will behave and not let him down, because today was the day, he is finally going to pick up the courage to ask the cheer captain to give her a ride. Tomoe was the most beautiful girl in school; he knows countless boys line up offering her rides or at the very least dream of it — trust fund kids with their fancy shiny cars; in comparison his phoenix looked like junk.. but despite feeling nervous and embarrassed and awkward, deep down he believes she won't care about that sort of thing, after all it's one of the many reasons he loves is crushing on her. ❝Tomoe!!❞ he calls out rushing to her as she leaves cheerleading practice, hoping to catch her before any other lovestruck boy can. ❝Were you just leaving? Can I give you a ride? — I- I mean do you need a ride-yoi?❞ (highschool marmoe)

YET ANOTHER LONG DAY of cramming for upcoming exams and longer sessions of extracurricular activities, and still, her day was not over just yet. Hence the checking of the time and her hurried stride towards the school gym’s exit. Tomoe whips out her phone, the attached flower charms dangling by her ear as she prepared to dial her workplace and inform them she may be a little late today ── or so was the plan, until an unexpected knight in shining armor happened to show up just in the nick of time.

"PAPA!! PAPA! ACE IS BEING MEAN AGAIN" a girly shriek as the youngest little bird runs from her division's commander around the deck while he chases after her to show her his little pet 'Hercules' - she may have spent years trying to prove her strength and capabilities to the old man but now that she's wearing his mark and has nothing to prove anymore, count on Rosa to act like the spoiled little girl she is and snitch to dad. ( Rosa @ wb 😂 )

THERE’S A SWING OF HIS POLEARM, comically sending their second division commander face first into the floorboards of their gigantic deck; their father putting an end to whatever shenanigans his son was playing today ── It didn’t matter what the boy’s excuses were, no son of his could ever upset any of his daughters and expect to get away with it.

❛❛ Ace!!! Enough with that tomfoolery!!! ❜❜

PANCAKED UPON THE GIGANTIC DECK at his father’s feet, there’s a brief grumble against the floorboards. He was just showing her one of the coolest beetles out there ── what was the problem? Not wanting to face his father’s wrath again however, silver irises turned upwards in Rosa’s direction before throwing out a muttered, however, sincere apology.

Sensual touches and kisses along his lotus's spine slow down considerably when reaching the small of her back. A healed scar marks otherwise smooth porcelain and prompts a clench in the phoenix's own heart — not because of the sight, rather she is absolutely beautiful to him, scarred or not and he will make sure to let her know; rather simply today, it serves as a reminder of his failure to protect who he loves most. ❝You're beautiful..❞ he breathes against her skin, kissing the scar, once, twice, three times. ❝So goddamn beautiful-yoi..❞ and yet the prior steady touch of his attentive digits now tremble, and alongside kisses, salt water in the form of his tears paint porcelain as well. ❝Does it.. still hurt-yoi?❞ he wonders slowly tracing the injury, recalling a time he temporarily numbed the pain with his azure flames; as a doctor he knows it has long healed but he is blindsided by unconditional love now. ❝How is it fair I get to walk away unscathed while you have to hurt-yoi..❞ his query is but a quiet mumble now, weak and defeated, albeit perhaps the break in his voice and the tears he drenched his beloved's skin with show, he has only been unscathed on the surface.

RELISHING IN HIS TOUCHES EVER SO TENDER, porcelain lay comfortably on her stomach upon their shared bed. Her eyes fluttered to a close, humming contently at his every loving praise. Before long, Tomoe notices the repeated kisses upon the small of her back. And once her skin is greeted with unexpected droplets of rain, red lips elicit a silent gasp; touched by his display of love that trembled upon the sensitive scar that had long since healed ── thanks to him. 

Immediately, his lover rises from her position with great concern. His evident pain that were his internal scars now became a vulnerable display in the form of tears; a sight that summoned her own tears to spill from her eyes ── his lotus instinctively wastes not a single moment in pulling her beloved inside her loving embrace, her slender fingers caressing through blonde tufts of hair as she cradles his head against her soft chest.

"Did you ever learn?" He opened up a fan and began to gracefully dance with it. Humming a song from his childhood. "I used to be better. There isn't much time for practice these days." These years more so. All this time away from home was turning him rusty, it saddened him.

SHE RECOGNIZED THE TUNE IN FRAGMENTS, while the ways in which her elder brother figure moved so gracefully with a fan in hand had effortlessly brought about memories of her youth.  ❛❛  Once upon a time… yes.  ❜❜  Cue a bittersweet smile, as unlike himself, Tomoe had somewhat negative memories pertaining to that time of learning ── not of the subject and skills itself, but rather the situation surrounding it.

🦄 ˚✧*･ﾟ ❝That Marco, is he even taking proper care of you?❞ the unicorn huffed as she prepared a bunch of home remedies for morning sickness, and proceeded to dote on her daughter figure.

❝Leaving his pregnant wife at home — ❞ she goes on. ❝How can he be so....  irresponsible?❞ even if he was only out for work and knew Aurelia would be lovingly taking care of Tomoe for the day; it seems in a very typical motherly nature, the nurse couldn't help but nag. Her exaggerated frustration at the doctor is quick to dissipate when she finally turns to Tomoe, the warmest smile coaxing her lips. ❝Well, well... my little flower about to become a mother..❞ she pauses, emotion overwhelming her for a moment as her sky blue eyes glimmer with tears, of joy of course — and perhaps a little grief, as she wishes their late captain was here to witness this magical moment as well. ❝It feels so... magical.. doesn't it?❞

REST BECAME HER EVERYDAY since discovering she was now eating for two. Morning sickness was an unrelenting force she had to tackle on the daily as her body underwent changes to adjust to the second life growing inside ── Frankly, it was reassuring to have both a doctor and nurse by her side on this new journey.

❛❛  Oh, no, please don’t worry ── it was me that asked him to work today.. I thought he could take a breather away from me and my… recent moods..  ❜❜ Tomoe explains, internally embarrassed thinking back to the severe mood swings she had been experiencing as of lately, putting her phoenix through the wringer. ❛❛  Marco has been nothing but wonderful throughout all of this… It’s a wonder how he puts up with me these days.  ❜❜
