Loyalty A powerful word... But what does it mean to be loyal to someone? How far can someone go in loyalty to another person? Why would someone be loyal to another without loyalty to themselves?

[Name] didn’t know the answers to these questions. But he knew one thing: he was loyal to the Ubuyashiki family. The reason? He didn’t know why. Was it out of obligation? Or maybe a feeling of debt? He wasn’t sure. He knew he’d been saved as a child by the former leader of the Demon Slayers.

Was that when the feeling of indebtedness began? But could that really be the reason?

Even as a child, he knew he didn’t deserve to be saved; he should have died with his clan out of honor... It wasn’t fair for only him to survive; he had one duty, and he failed at it. He should have been loyal to his clan, which meant he should have... He should have died protecting his clan... Shouldn’t he? Since that’s what he was taught... He remembers only fragments from those days, but one thing is clear: his clan was attacked by an oni, and a Hashira saved him. Right after he was rescued, he was brought to the master... This master helped him, but [Name] didn’t want any help, didn’t feel he needed help,his life no longer had meaning with his clan gone, with nothing left to protect. Seeing the boy’s state, the former leader of the Demon Slayers gave [Name] a new purpose so that he might feel the desire to live again.

A new reason to fight, a new reason to live... To protect the Ubuyashiki family... To be loyal to the Ubuyashiki family.

From that day, he lived with the Ubuyashiki, becoming one of the few who knew the location of their mansion. It was in those days that he learned everything about the truth of the demons and the Demon Slayers. He has to admit, he was confused at first, as he had thought demons were only legends. As time went on, he grew close to the Ubuyashiki family. He came to know the master and his wife. And it was then that he met the master’s three children.

Akito Ubuyashiki... The youngest of the three siblings. Because of their age gap, [Name] didn’t grow very close to him, so he doesn’t remember much about the young boy, only that he was a very gentle child.

Senri Ubuyashiki... The middle son, known for his strong personality. [Name] recalls him being quite rebellious, often refusing to obey his father’s rules. And lastly, the eldest son of the family.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Kagaya was the one [Name] grew closest to, perhaps because they were similar in age or maybe because of his calm, gentle personality. All [Name] knows is that he always preferred to spend time with him over anyone else in the Ubuyashiki family. Whether they were talking... Or Kagaya reading a book to [Name] Or simply enjoying each other’s company. [Name] cherished those moments deeply. And so [Name]'s life continued this way, at least for a short period of time. Being loyal to the Ubuyashiki family wasn’t so bad. They didn’t treat him as something to be used; they treated him as a normal person.

But, unfortunately, a series of tragedies struck...

Sadly, the leader of the Demon Slayers couldn’t withstand the weight of his role as leader; he couldn’t bear the burden of so many deaths, and, tragically, he took his own life. [Name] never judged him for that decision, understanding that the role of leading the Demon Slayers was not an easy task, one that few could endure. After his death, as the eldest son, Kagaya Ubuyashiki assumed his father’s position as leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. Despite his young age, he had to bear the burden of becoming the master.

Yet, after this tragedy, things only worsened. Senri Ubuyashiki, the rebellious son, spiraled further down after his father’s suicide. His mental state declined to the point where he made a choice,one that, tragically, resulted in three deaths. Senri Ubuyashiki decided to commit suicide, but not alone; he forced his younger brother to be a part of it, thinking it would free them both from the curse of being born into this doomed family. So, Senri set their house on fire, intending for them both to die in the flames. Their mother, in a desperate attempt to save her beloved sons, entered the burning house but, sadly, perished in the flames.

She died as a mother, a mother protecting her children.

Once again, history repeated itself... the family [Name] had sworn to protect lay in ruins, just like his own clan.

The family to whom he had pledged loyalty, just as he had to his clan, was now in ashes. Why did he have to swear loyalty to something that wouldn’t last? What’s the meaning of it all? But fortunately, there was at least one survivor from the tragedy. Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the sole survivor of the Ubuyashiki family. Even as a child at the time, Kagaya remained resilient. Despite the grief of losing his family, he stood strong. And [Name] stayed by his side, for he was still loyal to the Ubuyashiki family.

Over the years, many things changed, yet, in many ways, they remained the same. Kagaya still serves as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. But Kagaya's illness began to show its first signs. He maintained his calming presence, and [Name] remained loyal to the family, with his primary purpose being to protect Kagaya. With time, he and [Name] grew very close, sharing a deeply intimate friendship. They had only each other to confide their burdens.

Then, a new person joined their lives: Amane Himorogi, who would later become known as Amane Ubuyashiki. Amane was gentle, and both [Name] and Kagaya grew very fond of her. And so, this unique bond formed,one that connected these three people through a shared feeling. Now, the three lived in the same house, with Amane and [Name] helping Kagaya in his work however they could.

Around this time, at Kagaya’s suggestion, [Name] joined the Demon Slayer Corps and soon became a Hashira, the same position held by the man who saved him years before. However, before becoming a Demon Slayer, he made one thing clear:

he was not loyal to the Demon Slayer Corps. He was loyal to the Ubuyashiki family. Protecting the Ubuyashiki family was his main priority. He joined only because it was his master’s request.

As a Hashira, he began taking on missions, which kept him away from Kagaya and Amane for periods of time. But he never stayed away for too long,after all, how could he protect them from afar?

And so this dynamic continued for a period of time, until Amane became pregnant and gave birth to quintuplets: Hinaki, Nichika, Kiriya, Kanata, and Kuina. Beautiful children that the three of them cared for with love and affection. As time passed, [Name] stopped traveling frequently for missions as a Hashira, only going for quick missions or when absolutely necessary. Now he had to help Amane with the children. [Name] enjoyed playing with the kids. It was fun... But he also had to help Kagaya, as his illness was worsening significantly. Over time, [Name] grew close to a young boy that Amane had rescued, a boy who reminded him of the past, for they had something in common,they both lost their families. Muichiro Tokito... [Name] helped him with his training until he became a Hashira. And it went on like that for a long time. Many things happened. A brother became a demon slayer to help his sister, who was an oni, return to being human. [Name] thought this was very strange,an oni who didn’t eat people? He didn’t want to trust it. But Kagaya gave them his trust, so [Name] relented. After years, the Demon Slayer Corps finally gained an advantage. Kagaya saw this as a step toward defeating Muzan, and [Name] was happy for him. They managed to defeat an Upper Moon after centuries. But unfortunately, Kagaya could no longer appear at the Hashira meetings due to his illness, so Amane began leading the Hashira meetings. The marks were awakened... That oni,Nezuko,her name, she conquered the sun... This was a sign, a sign that they were one step away from victory. Soon, a mission was assigned to the Hashira to prepare, marking the beginning of the Hashira training. Meanwhile, the real final mission began. [Name] opposed this mission,he didn’t want the people he swore loyalty to to die. But it had to be done, so it was carried out. And then, he made the decision to stay and die alongside them. Amane, Nichika, and Hinaki also stayed, despite Kagaya’s objections. The time came... At the Ubuyashiki mansion, Amane stood by Kagaya’s side, while [Name] sat quietly in the corner of the room, just waiting for everything to unfold. Meanwhile, Nichika was playing with a kamifusen with her sister Hinaki outside the mansion. And then, it finally happened. Muzan Kibutsuji entered the mansion. Kagaya sat, with Amane’s help, to speak with him. And [Name] stayed silent, unable to do anything to protect them. Then, after a while, it finally happened The great explosion occurred, where half of the Ubuyashiki family perished, leaving only three children. But these deaths were not in vain; they were for a greater good. For the death of Muzan Kibutsuji. So that humans could finally live in peace, no longer fearing being devoured by demons. For a battle that had lasted centuries to finally come to an end.

It was only in death that [Name] finally understood the reason for his loyalty to them...

His loyalty was out of love. He loved Kagaya Ubuyashiki. He loved Amane Ubuyashiki. And they loved him too... Well, his loyalty was based on love, one of the most powerful emotions there are. And in the end, he was happy to have discovered the meaning of his loyalty. A loyalty born from love.

"You came back."

You smile at the beautiful purple eyes and white hair that stood before you offering her own smile at you in return.

"I did."

You still remember the first time you met the mysterious spirit of the old birch forest. It was last year during spring. Your father worked as a lumberjack and together both you and him would go out and start collecting wood from the nearby forest . However since his leg injury it's been solely on you to make ends meat and go get the wood yourself. It wasn't an easy feat. To help save yourself the trip, instead of going up the mountain to get the regular oaks and maple trees and bring them all the way down the mountain, you decided to go towards the nearby Birch tree forest. Your father did warn you before about the place-

"Do you ever know why we never go near those woods, Y/n?"

"No. Why?"

"Because it's haunted."

"Haunted? Haunted how?"

"Many years ago, there was a priest who lived there in a shrine that's now long gone. He had a daughter who became a shrine maiden after her father died however she herself died young. They say her ghost became a White Birch Spirit and she takes care of those sacred woods like he did in life. That's why no lumberjack ever dated go near those woods let alone take one of her trees. That's just asking for trouble."

You never took him seriously of course. You've never heard of such things from anyone else who you spoke too. So you decided ond day as your father was still healing, you grabbed the axe and made your way out down the valley instead of up the mountain. Until you came across the first  of the White tree line. You weren't very strong by yourself so you decided to venture inwards until you found one thing enough to chop down and easily carry back. The moment you stepped past the treeline-

It was as if no other life was there.

The singing birds stopped singing. No squirrels ran up the trees. And there wasn't a single insect in sight. Only the grass and the white trees. Odd certainly but not really too out of the ordinary in your mind however it almost felt like you were being watched. Nah that was crazy. You were just paranoid from the ghost stories. Eventually you found a good enough tree. A few years old at most and the tree you walked forward to was very thin. It'd make quick but thin firewood you could quickly sell for cheap. Stopping a yard away from the thin trunk, you sat the heavy axe down very quick to roll your sore shoulder from carrying it for so long. Before gripping it tightly, swinging it high above your head-

You froze solid.

Standing before your eyes ...was a woman.

A very BEAUTIFUL woman.

She was pale. So pale she might've been dead. With pure white hair to match and the most striking purple eyes you've ever seen. It pierced you straight through the soul. You both stood there staring at each other for a long moment before she spoke.

"Why are you here?"

The axe fell from your hands with a loud thud to the ground as you stuttered. "I-I-...I ju-just...firewood."  You managed to sputter out.

"This tree is not yet fully grown. You have no purpose here. Leave."

You didn't have to be told twice. Out of fear from the woman you snatched up the heavy axe and ran all the way home where you told your father everything that had transpired when he asked about your terrified face.

"Didn't I warn you?," he scolded you with a frown, "You're lucky that spirit let you go with just a warning. What if she had made a tree fall on you? Or she followed you home to haunt us? Next time I tell you about something listen to me!"

You did. You really did. For the next month you went up the mountain to get wood instead of of the birch woods and thankfully nothing happened but you couldn't help but feel guilty about what happened. You felt like you disturbed a sacred area and now you had to right the wrongs. Despite your father's warnings and your better judgement, you decided to go back but this time with offerings. Some food, money, and incense since that's what they usually put on shrines for offerings. Being a former shrine maiden, she might like it. 

The pattern repeated itself. You went back to the Birch forest only this time without the axe and like before you felt like you were being watched the moment you stepped into the woods. White trees surrounded your body as you walked swiveling your head this way and that making your way back to where you first saw the spirit. You'd just leave it by the tree she was defending and leave-

"What are you doing back here?"

You jumped with a gasp whirling around and coming face to face back with her. She stared at your wide eyes with that blank stare she had before.

"I-I-..." You gulped again out of fear before thrusting the basket towards her and bowing. "I-Im not here to cut down anything I swear! I c-came to apologize!"

There was silence as you didn't dare look up, however you felt the basket leave your hands and there was silence still.

"..Thank you." You looked up. She was still there holding the basket but now smiling. "This is very kind of you. What is your name?"

"I-..Y-Y/n. What's yours?"

"Amane."

"You're very beautiful. Are you really a spirit?"

That took her off guard as she blinked a moment before smiled again. "If you'd like to know, we may talk under the trees."

Though to become one in a million, you always have to start from somewhere; Just as a flower has to sprout from the ground before it blossoms into a flower, petals gleaming with color while scented oh so beautifully. For You, it began in Europe; more specifically, Britain, on a sweet countryside near the southernmost port.

Often you heard of the stories of the Opera Populaire from travelers. Stories of a majestic Opera house bathed in the glimmering gold with reflective flooring and tall, looming status of women. Of the Opera house with the most comfortable seating, varnished with a deep maroon that screamed lavish, wealth, success, Of the Opera house that spared no expense to have the most reputable, most angelic, most authentic Prima Donna’s on this side of Europe, who sang with not only their voice yet their heart and soul; Who’s acting was just as good as their singing, entrancing, encapsulating.

Few times did you actually manage to go see the Opera house yourself, most times you had to beg your father to let you tag along with the Minamoto’s—family friends who had moved to Europe from Japan—and who were wealthy enough to spare the expense to make a trip to the Opera Populaire every season.

Though you could not go every time, though you wish you wished you could, you would soak up every moment when you were inside its casted walls; Dancing along the polished floors with Kou as you both laughed and pretended to be the leading roles in your own opera on the stairs. His Mother and elder Brother would always scold you two for not acting your class, for not showing the restraint and regality of the upper class citizens of Europe. To which they always received a giggle and apology before you two rushed off to your private box for the show.

Even if some your age called it boring, you had always been entranced by Opera. You knew you wanted to be on that stage, singing and dancing and performing, even at your father’s slight distaste of your choice. It was the only option, and you would accept nothing less than to be performing on the grand stage of the Opera Populaire.

And even after it’s burning, that desire shifted to wanting to perform on the Lotus Populaire.

Kou always entertained your lofty dreams, sitting at the piano in your family’s parlor room, to keep you company after your tutoring sessions; He would play the scale of your voice through the piano keys, slowly increasing before decreased once more, before performing a song for you to sing along to. It was always enchanting, at least for the skill of little children, no older than 12 years of age. Maids and Butlers would often stop to listen, occasionally would Kou’s brother sit in on the performance and give a solid clap when the two of you finished, compliments flooding out of his mouth.

The encouragement, much to your father’s ire, always convinced you to move forward and as such, what pushed you to audition at the Lotus Populaire for its next season of Hannibal—an opera about composed by Chalumeau about the return of carthaginian troops from fighting against roman soldiers; an opera that had been creating heavy traction and buzz, making global press. This, you were confident, would be the true start of your career in the Opera industry, not as a ballerina yet as a lead; Or, at least, you were shooting for ensemble at the minimum. You needed to get out of the local Opera theaters of London, where you have been performing since you were able to at the young age of 16; You were almost 22 now!

“Just to be clear,” Your father started, watching as the carriage pulled into the cobbled driveway; A white stallion and its driver greeting your father, Kou, and you. “It’ll be alright if you do not land a role, I’ll still be proud of you no matter what.” You could hear the heistance in his voice as his hand took yours, his thumb brushing over the back of your hand in reassurance. A worrier, that’s what your Father always had been; Since the moment you were born.

You couldn’t help but laugh softly, watching as Kou moved around you both to speak to the driver of the carriage, “Father, I will be fine, I promise! Kou is coming with me, I’m more than prepared and I’ve been practicing since the news came out.” You would try and reassure your own father, though watching as his eyebrows frowned up either way, “I’ll be home in three days time!”

“I know, I know,” The heavy sigh left his lips, and you were sure all the oxygen had left his lungs too. There was a hesitation as his lips tugged to the sides, “I just wish I could be there with you; It is quite a long journey and your first time auditioning outside of the country. . . are you sure you don’t need me there? I can send a letter quickly to my work, surely they’ll understand the circumstances-”

“You worry more than there is need!” Another soft laughter fluttered out of your lips; You wouldn’t realize the way Kou would smile softly at the sound from behind your back. “Kou and I will be perfectly fine, now please, I’ll be late if you don’t let me go!”

You saw the way his lips would tremble a little, the hardship of letting his child go, seeming too much to bear, even for him. And though it pained you to see your Father so upset at your departure, all the comfort you could give him in aid was one last, tight hug before you had to pull away. Hands firmly on the sides of his arm, you would bow your head lightly as he pecked a kiss on the top of your head.

“Don’t come home unless you score big.” He would joke, one last time, as your hands fell from his shoulders. You would scrunch your nose at his comment, your lips wobbling with laughter as you playfully slapped his shoulder before departing for the carriage with a shake of your head; Meeting Kou, who would bow with just as much grace and teasement, as he opened the carriage door to let you in first before he joined you, sitting right by your side.

There was no more going back once the carriage door closed and the horse hooves began to clack on the cobblestone pavement, rolling the carriage effortlessly as it was majestically. You were sure tears sprang from your fathers eyes, as if it wasn’t for his job he would be joining Kou and you now on the cross-ocean trip to France. It’ll surely be a long journey, even longer without your Father to keep you entertained, yet you had Kou, and dare say, he was even better company! Funny, charming, and a little witty, he both was able to keep up with you and accept the high education you possessed, no matter the difference in gender.

“You’re awfully quiet.” The comment came out as teasing as you poked Kou’s side, his suit matching the color of his clan and complementing the color of his eyes; A nice blue, an attractive color, most would say. He would be more popular with the ladies if it wasn’t for his brother stealing the show.

Kou would hum, crossing his arms and leaning back against the plush seating, “Just thinking.” Was his bland answer.

“That’s new.” Came the snicker that followed from you.

At least, thankfully, it had caught Kou’s attention as he glanced over towards you rather quickly; Seeming ready to defend himself, though the words left his lips before they even managed to bubble as soon as he saw your snicker. “Very amusing, Lottie.”

Lottie, a nickname. The nickname Kou had decided would be yours since that day you met at his home, during a lavish house welcoming party. He said it suited you, you never understood why but accepted the nickname after countless tries of rebuking it.

“It’s true! You never think.” You teased, poking his side once more and causing him to yelp. The oh-so professional Viscount in public was reduced to scrambling away from you in the carriage bound for the southernmost port in all of the United Kingdom! It was fairly amusing.

“Stop that!” Kou flushed as you would turn to him, daring to poke at his side once more. “You know I’m ticklish there! Don’t even start-”

Though he would only yelp once more, making a grave effort to curl away from your finger as you dared it closer, “Then tell me what’s the matter! You’re usually so talkative, Viscount, now you’re nothing but stoic silence. It does not fit you at all! Are you concerned about little old me?” You would tease and playfully gush, though knew it was most likely the truth. Kou had always been rather easy to read.

“I’m just concerned, that's all!” He would exclaim, jumping to the seats parallel to yours on the opposite side of the carriage. It drew you to stopping your attacks on his sides, for now.

“Concerned about what? The admirers I’m going to receive after becoming a lead?” The words slipped out of your mouth, a dramatic flare being added to the end to show you weren’t being serious. You didn’t expect to get the leading role on your first show in the Lotus Populaire, you were smart to know that much. Though Kou would playfully roll his eyes, giving you an unamused “ha-ha”, before shaking his head.

“I’m simply concerned about your safety and the travel! I mean, what if the boat sinks or we run into any of those weird French ghosts? It would be no place for you-” Kou would start, gesturing with his hands as though this would cause a muck in the plans you had ‘oh-so carefully’ laid out the night. You would cut Kou off, though, pressing a finger firmly against his lips, “Then you’ll protect me, simple!” Your words came off with such confidence in Kou, that he couldn’t help but flush a little at the suddenness of your comment. His light blue eyes were stuck to yours, “Whatever comes, Kou, as long as I have you by my side, I’m sure everything will be alright. Besides your brother and my father, you’re the strongest man, or even Viscount, I know. . . and it’s highly unlikely that the boat will sink! So, relax a little, alright? Let’s enjoy this!” And though he was hesitant to respond, especially since your father had placed him in charge of your well being as well . . . as well as making sure you didn’t spend all of your money in France on meaningless items, he would nod; Something akin to pride swelling in his chest. If you believed in him, and if your father did as well, then surely he could keep you out of harm's way, no matter the danger. And to his response, he watched as you sat yourself back down, leaning against the plush cushions of the carriage. Your gaze shifted from him to outside the window of the carriage, your eyes glimmering in the sun that basked inside. Hope, something like that at least, for a better future, shined in your eyes; And that’s all Kou needed to relax himself. His body sank down into his cushioned seat, his eyes lingering on you for a second longer before they were also pulled to the window. The rolling hills of the Kingdom’s countryside were always beautiful, though, to Kou, you were more of a sight than anything nature could provide.

          everyone seems to rely on luck to see if your crush likes you back, some might even do voodoo magic to make them fall in love with you and if they don't then that's basically it.

          why not try courting? seems like a waste of time you might say, why bother making someone fall in love with you for a long period of time because of your impatient nature wanting them to say yes immediately?

          if you truly love someone, you'll exert the effort of showing how serious you are to loving them, let them know that you are willing to fulfill this relationship with you and when they said yes—that's where you know that you succeeded.

          amane yugi wonders how long does it truly take for someone to fall in love. he has been courting [name] for two months yet he feels like he hasn't made any progress. all those times that he made her blush and giggle, maybe it wasn't enough.

          so amane is going to try harder from now on.

          it was the night of the tanabata festival, also known as the star festival, amane was wearing a simple yukata, waiting in front of the entrance of the festival which is nearby his house.

          he asked [name] if she would like to spend some time together in the festival, she was really happy when she was asked out on a date—in which he does multiple times because it's part of the courting culture. but amane was more happy that [name] is going to join him.

          "amane-kun! sorry i'm late!" amane glanced up and saw [name] wearing a cute yukata with simple patterns with an ornament attached to her hair. amane's cheeks grew red at the sight of [name], he could only gape at her. "um, amane-kun?"

"a-ah!" amane blinked in surprise. "s-sorry, i kind of spaced out." he blushed further while twiddling with his fingers. "you look so pretty..."

          [name] giggled, a blush spreading upon her cheeks. "thank you, you look nice as well." she smiled.

          amane held out his hand and tilted his head slightly to her direction. "let's go," he said as [name] grabbed his hand. "we should hold hands or else we might be split apart from the crowd."

          amane's cheeks grew red just by simply holding her hand, leading her through the crowd so they won't get lost—yet [name] thought they were lost in a fleeting moment under orange and yellow lights.

          a smile curled up on [name]'s lips, her heart skipping a beat at the way amane's fingers fit between the gaps of her fingers. his hand was warm with a gentle yet strong grip.

          "[name]? is there something wrong?" amane couldn't help but ask as to why [name] was silent throughout their little stroll.

          "o-oh! i couldn't help but to admire the festival that's all." [name] smiled sheepishly as she looked down on their hands.

          amane grinned at [name]. "same." even though he was admiring her. both of them visited some food stalls and bought some strawberry crepes, which [name] liked to eat as a snack.

          "their crepes tastes so good everytime i go here." [name] fawned after taking a bite of her crepe. she lifted her crepe to hand it over to amane for him to take a bite. he leaned in to receive the offer but [name] smirked as she teasingly moved the crepe away from him and took a bite instead. "mmm... so sweet..."

          amane's noticed that [name] had some whip cream on her lips. an idea entered his mind which made him smile. "here, try one." [name] held out her crepe towards him once again.

          he leaned in and swiftly kissed the side of her lips on where the whip cream is before he took a bite on the crepe, leaving [name] standing there with a blush on her face. "you're right, it tastes good." amane smirked while slightly licking his lips.

          "you're such a tease." [name] blushed as she slightly pushed him to the side playfully.

          "you're a tease too, i couldn't help it, you're adorable." amane gave her a closed-eye smile before biting his own crepe. the rest of the night was them trying to collect tags or what they call a tanzaku from different stalls that they pass by.

          they say that if you collect six of them, your wish will definitely come true. "we only have three tags for the two of us." [name] sighed in defeat. "i swear they're probably greedy with the tags."

          "now now, well we can't help it if we only received three tags for the two of us..." amane dotingly told [name], since only one of them could really make their wish come true. "let's just write down our wishes and hang them by the bamboo tree. the fireworks will be starting soon."

          [name] stared at the three tags on her hands, then glancing at amane. she smiled at his determination of wanting to make one of his wishes come true. and this boy standing right in front of her, she doesn't need to wish for anything anymore.

          "amane-kun," [name] handed him the rest of her tags. "you can have the rest of my tags." she said. amane was confused as to why [name] is giving him her tags when she earned it herself.

          "but what about your wish?"

          [name] smiled sweetly at amane which made his heart skipped a beat. "and i have you." she answered. "so take them, we don't know if the rumors are true anyways but it won't hurt for you to try out."

          amane's eyes sparkled in astonishment, then he took the tags from [name]'s hands. he thought hard enough on what to wish for, something that he wanted to come true.

          'i hope you say yes to me.'

          amane finished in a minute as he tied the tags together. [name] couldn't help but to be curious as to what amane had wished for. "so what's your wish?" [name] asked while glancing at his sides to try to get a glimpse of his tag.

          amane turned around as he placed a finger on his lips. "shhh..." he shushed with a smile. [name]'s cheeks grew red at the sudden action, maybe amane's wish is a secret so she won't pry to it further.

          after he attached his tag to the bamboo tree, amane took her hand and led her to one of the spaces in the area so they could see the fireworks together. "i can't wait to see the fireworks." amane excitedly said.

          "me too." [name] nodded in agreement. the fireworks are the best part in the tanabata festival. she was glad she could spend it with amane—then this is definitely the best part for the two of them.

          a striking display of light appear amongst the night sky, followed by a loud sound. fireworks continued to rise and explode, spreading different bright colors across the scenery. "[name], look at the fireworks! isn't it pretty?" amane slightly raised his voice because of the booming sounds of the fireworks, then he linked their pinky fingers together, then subtly holding her hand by intertwining their fingers together.

          [name] had an epiphany realizing the things amane did for her; the meaningful soft kisses, their fingers intertwining when their hands simply touched, the loving gazes, the home in his arms and the whispers of sweet nothings.

          it may seem like amane's simple ways of showing love to [name], but to her, it was worth a whole universe.

          [name] moved closer to plant a soft kiss on amane's cheek, then she opened her mouth to speak.

          "yes."

          amane tilted his head to the side in confusion, he comprehended this as [name] agreed that the fireworks looked pretty but she meant something else. "yes?" he questioned.

          "yes." [name] repeated with a blush on her face. she squeezed his hand while looking into his amber eyes. "i'm saying yes to you." she corrected. amane couldn't believe what he just heard, it's like the sounds of the fireworks fading just by that answer.

          "does that mean..." amane bit his lip in excitement. "you're my girlfriend now?" he asked as his eyes sparkled like stars. [name] nodded her head with a big smile on her face. "oh my gosh—i'm so glad!" he grinned while pulling her into an embrace.

          "i can't believe it... you're now my girlfriend." tears started to appear from the corners of his eyes. "i love you. i love love love you so much..." amane whispered, his arms wrapping around her securely and burying his face on the crook of her neck.

          "i love you too." [name] said with a soft whisper. amane pulled away from the hug as he looked at her in a loving gaze, his eyes glanced at her lips, then at her eyes with a tint of pink on his cheeks. he placed his hand on her cheek as the strands of her hair tangled through his fingers, then his other hand was still holding on to hers.

          amane slowly leaned in to [name], stepping closer while tilting his head to aim for her lips as their eyes closed.

          and then he giving her a soft kiss on her lips.

          "so what did you wish for, amane?" [name] asked as she and amane were walking home after the festival ended. they were still holding hands, swaying them a bit while doing so.

          amane couldn't help but to chuckle, it's too coincidental, maybe the rumors about having six tags and wishing on them turned out to be real—but in reality, it's on you and it's still you who can make your wishes come true.

          and it is guaranteed, it is not a work of a supernatural.

          "i wished that you'd say yes to me," amane sheepishly giggled while scratching his choppy locks. "i know it's corny but hey, it worked out in the end."

          [name] shook her head with a chuckle escaping from her lips. "oh amane, i planned to answer you in this festival—i guess you can say is that i made your wish come true."

          "and i thank you for that, dear." amane said as he reached to give [name] a kiss on the cheek.

- Teru and you haven’t been talking much recently

- All because he was hanging out with someone who asked him out

- Teru has been friends with this person for a long time, and though you didn’t want to tell him who he should be friends with, it made you very angry

- You could tell this person still had feelings for him but Teru didn't seen to notice or care

- But when this person finally started to become more clingy with your boyfriend in front of you

- And this person knew you were dating Teru

- that's when you got pissed off

- You eventually confronted Teru about his“friend” and told him that they upset you

- Teru didn’t see a problem with it and your talk turned into an argument

- You two ended up fighting so bad you two ghosted each other

- And Teru was stubborn

- You stayed at school late and was walking home when you felt like you were being watched

- You used your phone camera to look behind you and you noticed someone who was wearing all black standing not too far away

- You ignored it, continuing your way home

- But when you got the weird feeling again, you looked to see the person not too far behind you again

- You felt your stomach drop, now knowing he was following you

- While you walked, you acted like you were taking a selfie and took a photo of the person in the background of the photo

- You messaged you boyfriend, saying this person was following you and you didn’t know what to do

- But he wasn’t checking his notifications from you, he was upset

- He wanted a night to cool off from the fight, thinking he will be able to talk to you tomorrow

- He was wrong about the reason you were calling.

- The next morning he went to school but you weren’t there

- It was odd

- By the time the lunch bell rang, he went to check his phone and thats when he saw those messages

- His heart sank when he realized why you weren’t at school.

- He quickly called your parentals, asking if you were okay

- Luckily for him, you survived but you were in the hospital after being stabbed 13 times

- Teru took the rest of the day off, waiting for more news

- After a day, the hospital allowed people to visit you and Teru was the first person to see you that day

- When he saw your condition, he felt his chest tighten

- He felt like this was his fault. You messaged him about this person following you and he didn’t help at all

- He couldn’t help you when you needed him too

“Y/n?” Teru knocked on your hospital door, walking into your room. You turned to him and felt your chest tighten seeing him. Last time you two talked, it was an argument and you thought you would never be able to see him again.

“T-Teru-“ You were about to speak but he quickly cut you off.

“Don’t say sorry. I should be the one apologizing. You told me about a concern you had and I didn’t take your feelings into consideration. I acted like a child when I ghosted you and if I looked at your messages… maybe you wouldn’t be in the hospital. I’m sorry Y/n…” Tears formed in Teru’s eyes as he could barely make eye contact with you. He felt like a jerk for igorning you for such a dumb reason.

“Teru… look at me..” He faced you when you called. “I love you so much, thank you for coming to visit me. I forgive you and I’m glad we were able to talk again.” You smiled softly.

“I am too… I’m so glad you are okay” Teru sat down on a chair next to you.

“I am as well, because I get to see you again” You giggled softly and his cheeks turned red. He leaned in and kissed your forehead softly

“I love you, Y/n”

“I love you too, Teru”

- Kou is very sweet and open minded so it’s hard to actually get in a fight with him

- But it’s possible

- Kou loves you but he doesn’t like seeing you in danger

- If you are anywhere near a bad supernatural (for him, that will be Tsukasa-) he will tell you to stay as far away as possible

- If you don’t listen to him, that's when a fight break out

- And this was an intense fight

- You both said some things you shouldn't have

- And you both went home angry

- He was rethinking if he might have been a bit too harsh on you

- But at the same time Kou doesn’t like to be the one being wrong.

- Why couldn’t you just understand that all he wanted to do is protect you

- He wants you to rely on him

- He slowly started to remember the fight that happened between you two so he decided to take his mind off by hanging out with Teru and Tiara

- Not to mention he needs to make dinner

- So he put his phone on his bed and left his room

- While you on the other hand decided to take a walk around the park in the evening

- Deciding how you two could make it up for one another

- You felt bad for not leaving since you know he only wanted to protect you

- But at the same time it annoyed you that he always babied you

- As if you need to be protected 24/7

- You were suddenly startled by the sudden voice next to you

- „Excuse me miss/mister do you by any chance have a lighter? I need it for my cigarette“

- „Huh? Oh no sorry i don’t smoke…“

- You saw the man having some weapon in the pocket and that made you nervous

- Who knows what that man plans to do?!

- You pretended you didn’t see anything and just started to walk away from the creepy man

- You messaged Kou about what just happened and that you might be in danger since

- It is then when you saw the same man still being behind you so you startet to speed walk and spam Kou

- Why didn’t he answer????

- Did that fight effect him that much?

- He wouldn’t be selfish enough to ignore such type of messages so you assumed his phone is dead or he doesn’t have it with you

- There was no near shop to help you either

- So you doing the most idiotic thing you could do

- Turned around to fight the person

- You can guess how it all ended up

- Kou came back after a tiresome day

- He checked his phone

- And let me tell you the shock he had after seeing your Message being „help“ „stalker“ „weapon“ ect. And many keyboard smashes

- He looked through all the photos and videos to find your location while grabbing his weapon and some bandages(just in case)

- And after figuring out in what park you were he ran as fast as he could ready to beat someone up

- After about 15 minutes he finally arrived and Oh my god he was glad he arrived on time

- You were on the ground bleeding out BUT still alive

- he quickly kneeled down next to you

- „s/o are you okay??? where are they?! Stay with me“

- Kou couldn’t think straight

- And all you could whisper is just „help“

- Kou took out his phone called an ambulance while taking out his bandages and wrapping them around you

- „Please s/o …stay with me. I still didn’t get the chance to properly apologize to you!!“

- You softened your face smiling at him

- „S/o? S/o!! Keep your eyes open please!!! S/O!!!!“

- was the last thing you heard before passing out

- ….

- You slowly woke up in a bright room

- Wait..did you actually make it???

- you saw your boyfriend sleeping next to you

- He must’ve been exhausted after all that happened so no wonder he is sleeping

- You poked his cheek trying to wake him up like that

- „Hng wh- s/o?- S/O!!!“

- „Yes yes its me S/o“ you laughed at his little excitement

- „I WAS SO WORRIED HOW ARE YOU!?!“

- You suddenly were being hugged without having the time to answer

- „K-kou- hurting!!hurting!!“

- Kou quickly let go of you

- „S-sorry i just got so excited!“

- „Don’t worry i understand…“

- You both stayed silent for a minute

- „S/o… i am-“

- „No need. I know you just wanted to protect me and i appreciate it…just don’t worry about me too much if im around a supernatural“

- „Weeeeell that will be hard especially after what just happend but I’ll try my best“

- You two laughed at Kou‘s silly remark and then gave eachother a ‚see you later‘ kiss

- Amane is normally chilled back but there are times where you two start fighting

- And it can be a small fight then he might insult you and you won’t take that well and insult him…

- And now a big fight has broken out

- Because of this, you two refuse to speak to each other for the rest of the day

- Amane went home that day pissed off and you stayed behind school for a while

- The sun started to set and you decided to walk back home

- You didn’t even notice you were being followed until it was too late

- You were pulled into an alley, not too far away from the school

- You were in a semi-crowded area so you wanted to be seen as fast as you could

- You tried to run away from the person who pulled you in

- But he had a weapon

- Before you could do anything else, you were shot in your leg and you fell to the ground

- The sound of the gun shot alerted people and you soon heard screaming

- The gunman run off and you could hear more shot being fired

- You shook, your leg bleeding

- You needed to tell someone

- You quickly called Amane but got no answer

- You messaged him and messaged him

- But he wasn’t looking at his messages

- He heard the buzzing on his phone but he ignored it, still mad at what you said to him

- Your cries of help turned into pleading and sorrys, thinking that this might be the last time you talked to him

- Your started saying “Amane, I’m shot in the leg, help me” to “I’m sorry for fighting, I love you so much, i don't want to leave you…”

- Soon police came and took you to the hospital

- And Amane had no idea what was going on…

- The morning came and Amane had slept on things

- He calmed down quite a bit and that's when he decided to read the messages

- He felt his heart sink when he slowly started to read the messages

- He skipped school that day, rushing to the hospital where you were at

- He begged the doctors to let him see you, tears in his eyes

- However, they said no, saying you were seeing a doctor at the moment

- So Amane waited passionately, trying to stop crying

- But soon he was allowed to see you

“Knock knock…” Amane knocked on the door as he said this, a small smile on his face.

“Yugi…?” You looked up at him.

“Hey… I’m sorry I didn’t see your messages sooner..” He said softly, sitting on a chair next to you. His eyes were red from crying and he could barely look you in the eye. He was a terrible boyfriend.

“It’s fine… I am alright now though.. well, kind of…”

“I’m just glad you survived… I couldn’t bare to lose you the way we left things” He felt tears starting to form in his eyes again.

“Amane… hey… it’s okay now, I’m not leaving you” You reached an arm out to him, wanting to cup his cheeks. He smiled softly and walked over to you, placing your hand on his cheek.

“I know we both said some things we shouldn’t have… but let’s forget about that, alright?” He nodded his head to your words.

“Yes… I’m so sorry… I love you so much..” He kisses the palm of your hand “We shouldn’t be fighting over dumb things.. I promise to be a better boyfriend, I will make every moment count..”

- You and Tsukasa had a fight because of his brother Amane

- „You lately never have time for me Tsukasa!“

- „BECAUSE IM BUSY HANGING OUT WITH AMANE“

- „WELL WHAT ABOUT ME?“

- „AMANE IS MORE IMPORTANT HE NEEDS MY ATTENTION YOU STUPID WITCH“

- Witch? Really? You thought to yourself

- „WHATEVER“

- you scoffed and went on your way home while Tsukasa went on his way to his brother

- „Seriously of all the insults he could say he chose witch? that idiot“

- You were jealous of Amane since he was constantly with Tsukasa

- Though you don’t blame Amane he once confronted that Tsukasa just loves spending time with him and he barely spends time with his own friends because Tsukasa is so clingy and he doesn’t really know what has gotten into him lately

- You were more mad at Tsukasa than Amane after hearing that

- He is so complicated to understand time to time

- You put your headphones on and went on your way home

- Today you guys had a long day at school so no wonder it’s already dark outside

- You went into a shop to buy some snacks because you planned on watching a film to forget today‘s incident

- After buying what you wanted you went outside and noticed a strange man leaving the shop after you

- You didn’t pay the man much attention

- That is until you noticed the man already following the same path as you for the past 30 minutes

- You didn’t know what to do other than Message Tsukasa so that he can come and bring you company and ofc protect you in case something Happens

- And that’s what you did

- Unlucky for you Tsukasa felt his phone vibrating but he didn’t bother answering thinking its you probably already asking for forgiveness (that jerk)

- And not to mention he is busy playing video games with his brother! You can wait

- Except you actually couldn’t wait right now

- You can get kidnapped or worse get killed in any minute

- You decided to take a shortcut so that you could enter some shop

- Surely they won’t attack in the shop right? Right????

- What did you do to deserve this…

- You were able to enter the shop and OH WHAT A COINCIDENCE

- the stalker had ended up stabbing you and the owner in the shop he didn’t stab you to death thinking you would bleed out eventually

- He robbed you both and left while also shutting the door of the shop

- You couldn’t get out and Tsukasa wasn’t answering so with all your might you had you called the police and said everything before passing out

- You didn’t come to school the next day and that made Tsukasa mad because he didn’t think you would be that mad

- He didn’t even check his phone ???? Like u idiot-

- So he went home and turned on the tv

- And that’s when he saw the news

- „2 people being stabbed an old man and a Highschool girl/boy. Sadly the old man had passed away due to the big wound he got. Fortunately the young girl/boy survived and is currently recovering“

- Tsukasa grabbed his phone and saw all the Messages you had sended him

- He wasn’t sure if he should visit you since he did kinda feel guilty (wow tsukasa and guilt? That’s new)

- So he rushed to his brother and asked for advice

- …..

- He bursted into the room without even knocking

- You were startled and almost spilled your cup of water by the sudden door slamming

- „S/OOOOOOOOOO-„

- „TSUKASAAAAAAAA-„

- Nvm you spilled your water

- Oh both of you

- „You jerk! Don’t you know you dont hug injured people???“

- „I am sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyy“

- You looked at him and you could tell he was genuine with his apology

- „I-i brought you chocolate but i ate half of it on my way to you“

- You couldn’t help but laugh

- „Alright alright i forgive you. But you own me a date“

- You gave him a small kiss on his on his cheek as a thank for the…half chocolate?

- „YESYESYESYESSSS I PROMISE“
