Behind cheerful smiles and playful banters lies a heart longing for her homeland. But unbeknownst to you, it didn't go unnoticed by him.

A sunny smile.

That is the first thing that comes to mind whenever Sho hears your name.

You were quite the unfortunate one, really. You were only going about your day and then all of a sudden, you got cursed to turn into a monster in a year.

He wouldn't be surprised if you already broke down after being taken away from your life just like that. You were just human, after all.

And yet here you are, still finding the strength to carry on with your new normal while smiling, despite the harrowing fate looming over your head.

And honestly? He respected that.

You once joked that maybe the reason you're like this was because you grew up in a place where experiencing the onslaughts of powerful typhoons several times a year was normal, but he knew it's not only because of that.

It was just in your nature to have a positive outlook on life.

"Hi, Sho!"

"Hey, Senpai. Back again, are we?"

"Of course! You know I can't resist the taste of your cooking."

"You know flattery will get you nowhere, right?" he says, raising a brow at you playfully.

"It's not flattery if it's true!"

"Sure, sure. So, what will it be? Your usual?"

You grinned. "You know me so well."

The banter between you continued on as he prepared your food.

It's always like this whenever you're around. Conversations just flow so easily with you, it's almost a wonder.

"Oh, right..." he spoke as he handed your order to you. "Senpai, are you free later this afternoon?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm planning on trying a new recipe, and I want you to taste test it for me."

"Well... I am supposedly free this afternoon, but I can't really be sure. You know how they like to make me run around the campus."

"Ah..."

Right. He almost forgot the fact you were Darkwick's unpaid errand girl—always running around doing task after task at the school's behest. If he didn't knew you, he would have believed you were a part of the faculty.

"I'll let you know if I'll be able to make it."

"Thanks. Enjoy your lunch."

"Will do!"

You gave him a wave and he watched your retreating form disappear as you turned around the corner.

I didn't miss anything, right?

Sho looked through the bag he was holding, then nodded to himself when he made sure all the ingredients he needed was in it.

You texted him earlier to confirm you were absolutely free now and will be waiting for him at the Vagastrom garage.

He spotted you easily. You were standing near the entrance, on a video call with someone.

As he made his way towards your direction, he gradually heard your conversation.

"Tita!"

A child's voice emanated from your phone.

"Hi, bebe! Happy birthday! 'Musta? Happy ba ang cute na pamangkin ko?"

"Yes po, tita!" the child responded excitedly. "Nagpunta kami nina mama at papa sa Jollibee kanina with my friends tapos nakita namin si Jollibee!"

"Wow!" you exclaimed, matching the child's excitement. "Nakita mo si Jollibee?"

"Opo!"

There was a pause before the child spoke again.

"Sana andito ka rin tita para nakita mo rin siya."

You smiled apologetically. "Sorry, bebe. Medyo busy pa kasi si tita mo..."

"Okay lang po, tita. May next time pa naman po eh."

You paused, looking a little unsure what to say. There was a short silence before you replied.

"Yeah... May next time pa."

"Sige po, tita, tinatawag na po ako nina papa. Bye, tita!"

"Babye!"

You let out a sigh once the call ended. Only then did you notice him standing there.

"Oh, Sho. Sorry, did I make you wait too long?"

He shook his head. "Don't worry about it. You were talking with someone back home?"

"Yeah. That was my niece. It's her birthday today."

"Seems like you two were close."

You hummed. "We are. I used to babysit her a lot since her parents were both working until late in the evening. I'm basically her second mother at that point."

He stared at your wistful expression, and before he knew it, the question had already tumbled from his lips.

"Do you miss them? Your family, I mean."

You look at him for a while, and for the first time, he saw a smile devoid of your usual cheer.

"More than you ever know."

A few weeks passed.

The two of you never brought up that conversation again, but frankly, it never left his mind.

And ever since that evening, he began to notice the cracks in your mask.

You still had a bright smile on your face as you did your duties, but there was a growing exhaustion in your eyes, especially after coming back to a mission that proved fruitless in your search to break your curse.

And that was understandable. Despite your incredible resilience, you are, in the end, still a normal human being who has her limits.

But if there is something he could do to ease your burdens even for just a little, he would do it with no hesitation, just like how you would for them. And luckily for him, he might be able to do something.

"Hi, Sho! I'm here!"

"Oh, Senpai. Good timing, I just finished cooking this."

He gestured to the empty chair. "Take a seat. I'll just plate this real quick."

"Thanks. It's been a while since I had your cooking, it's almost making me excited for this."

"Wouldn't it be because you're cheating on me with the school store's bento sets these days?"

"Hey!" you pouted. "It's not like I have a choice, you know? As much as I'd like to line up for your food truck, I unfortunately do not have that much free time during lunch. If I spent it all by waiting in line, I wouldn't have time to actually eat!"

"Excuses, excuses."

He glanced at you and couldn't help but chuckle at your indignant look.

"Well, just consider this as your payback for your lack of loyalty."

"Like I said, I don't have a—"

You froze, eyes widening at the sight of the dish in front of you.

"Sho..."

"You look like you needed a pick-me-up," he says, scratching the back of his neck. "I know you can't leave, and there's no place I could take you that would rid you of your homesickness, but this would at least ease some of it. It's not enough, but consider it a small well done gift for all the things you've done to survive this hellish place."

Your eyes met his, then drifted back to the bowl of pork sinigang.

"I... I don't know what to say."

"You don't need to say anything."

You took a bite of the food. Then another.

"This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me."

A warm sensation filled his chest seeing you so happy.

"The soup's too thin though."

"...What?"

"Sorry, it's just..."

You stared at your bowl. "I prefer some of the taro crushed so the soup will be thicker."

"Oh. Then I'll do it like that the next time I make this."

The two of you exchanged a look and smiled, letting the warmth of his promise envelop you both.

A/N: I'm finally done with this series :D

It's my first time writing for the Dionysia ghouls so I'm a bit nervous hehe

Frostheim • Vagastrom • Jabberwock • Sinostra • Hotarubi • Obscuary • Mortkranken • Dionysia

» MASTERLIST

You were walking out in the streets of Tokyo with one of the ghouls, when all of a sudden, a staff from a nearby café handed out a flyer.

It was a promo saying they're offering a 30% discount for select drink + food combos.

You were interested. But there's a problem: the discount is only applicable to couples.

You look at the ghoul beside you and an idea formed in your mind.

Jo Kongoza

Shakes his head in fond exasperation as he lets you drag him towards the café.

Another one who does the role of your boyfriend convincingly well.

Not that he needed to try so hard in the first place. The guy's already sweet towards you on a regular basis, it just increased tenfold during your ruse.

Watches you with a soft smile as you eat the food with a delighted look.

Mio Susuhara

Was a little taken aback when he heard your request.

Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend? (He knows it's just pretend, he's just asking to be sure).

Acting isn't exactly in his wheelhouse so he's not sure if he could play the role well enough to convince other people.

Is a little awkward at first, but slowly gets into the role later on.

Thinks of the food and your smile as his reward for a job well done.

Elias Pratt

Is very amused upon hearing your plan. Goes along with it thinking it would be fun.

We have another very good actor in our midst.

He's very gentlemanly towards you (not that he isn't already). You know those sickeningly sweet gestures you see on movies? He's doing all that. What can he say? He's a showman at heart.

He's enjoying his order and the view of your pleased expression as you eat yours.

Shion Genkai

You don't need to ask this man to pretend. He's already calling you his wife, what more do you need?

This might go either way: he causes chaos inside the café and both of you gets thrown out.

Or he'll behave just in time for your orders to come out.

He will say the food is awful though (even though it's not). You just hope the staff doesn't overheard what he just said.

Whatever the outcome is, one thing is clear: picking him will be chaotic.

Pairing: Haru Sagara x GN!Reader

Genre: Fluff

A/N: No words. Just look at Haru's room card. Had to whip this out immediately to contain my thoughts 👀

I was thinking if I should post this on my NSFW blog, but this isn't that explicit so maybe it's fine??? Also it's my first time writing something like this please don't judge me 😭

Other notes: Suggestive (descriptions of sex but not too explicit)

» MASTERLIST

His eyes fluttered open at the sound of his phone beeping, signaling to him that another busy day is waiting for him.

The rain pitter-pattered on his window pane, the cold air it brought along making the warmth beside him even more pronounced.

The sight of you sleeping soundly next to him made him smile, his chest filled with warmth.

Oh how lucky was he for you to choose him out of all the people you could have chosen in this island?

He will never know.

But as much as he wanted to stay with you a little longer, his responsibilities need him, and time waits for no man.

Carefully climbing out of bed, he pulled the covers over your sleeping form before quickly readying himself for the day.

"Mmm... Haru?"

A few minutes later, he heard you call out to him, voice still raspy with sleep.

"Sorry. Did I wake you?"

You shook you head. "No. Are you heading out now?"

"Yeah... Need to get an early start if I want to get everything finished by the end of the day."

"Guess I can't ask you to stay with me just a little longer then?" you ask as you stretched, wincing a little as you did.

He smiled apologetically.

"You should rest a little longer," he said, placing a kiss on your hair.

You tried to protest by getting up, but you soon fell back on the bed.

"Maybe I'll take you up on that," you smile wryly.

"Sorry. I overdid it last night, didn't I?"

The memories of last night's passion flashed in his mind's eye.

It has been a while since the last time the two of you had been together. He could've controlled himself better, but when he felt your warmth around him, all of his restraint just snapped.

"You did," you mumbled, averting your eyes as you continued, "but it's okay. I liked it."

He froze.

This is bad. If you continue being adorable like that, he might just lose it, and that would affect his schedule for the day.

He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"I should get going. See you later around lunch?"

You smiled. "Okay. See you later."

Bidding you goodbye, he closed the door to his room, already looking forward to fulfilling your promise to each other.

Yuri Isami

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?"

Somehow turns into 50 shades of red in rapid succession.

You just broke this poor doctor's brain with just a single sentence. Congrats!

Thinks it's inappropriate to enter in a relationship just to get a discount (he most definitely missed the point that this is supposed to be just pretend).

So yeah, he's saying no to this :(

Jiro Kirisaki

"Hm? Sure."

He agrees without any qualms.

He's not interested in the discount at all. But he is fascinated with how the customer psychology trick affected your decision-making process.

He can't eat without you helping him though, so even if it's a little embarrassing, you reach out a fork to him and feed him.

Well, at least you don't have to prove to other people you're a couple with this.

Edward Hart

He has this mysterious smile as he agreed to your request. Now you feel nervous about how this all would go.

He is very amused with your idea. "Oh, this would be fun to witness" is what he thought.

If you think his flirty advances were bad, it will be worse during the entire thing.

Unfortunately for him and lucky for you, he can't taste the food at all, so every order (sans drinks) all went to you.

Was that pre-planned? No, it was not, but hey, you're not complaining.

In the end, both of you were satisfied: you with the food, and him with the entertainment.

Rui Mizuki

He's a little bummed out with the whole thing being just pretend, but a date is a date. And he wouldn't want to miss the chance to go on one with his favorite cutie!

Plays the role of your boyfriend so damn well you'd be fooled yourself if you didn't know any better.

He's pulling all the stops to be extra sweet to you, hoping you'll get an idea somewhere later *wink wink*

Almost dropped his fork when he saw you smile so happily while eating your food.

...Damn, this is bad for his heart. Don't you get tired of being so cute all the time? He might just die because of it one of these days.

Lyca Colt

"Isn't deceiving people bad?"

He... has a point. But surely it's fine if it's only one time, right?

He'll relent if you press him for a while.

Is a little embarrassed to hear you call him your boyfriend.

He did like the food so all's okay with him.

Would he do this again though? Maybe not.

Subaru Kagami

"Eh?! You want me to be your what??"

Poor boy is shocked you asked him to be your boyfriend, even if it's just pretend.

Still, he feels bad saying no to you, especially after giving him your best puppy eyes.

You do need to take extra care though. Despite not being on stage for quite some time now, he still is a famous actor.

Is a bit embarrassed hearing you refer to him as your significant other in front of the barista and cashier.

Pleasantly surprised with how good the food is. The café definitely got themselves a new return customer.

Haku Kusanagi

"C'mon, Princess. Why stop at just pretend if we could make it real instead?"

Teases the hell out of you, you begin to question whether or not you asked the right person.

Plays the doting boyfriend really well you can actually feel yourself blush.

For him, the real payoff for this pretend couple business was your smiling face. The good food's just a bonus.

His offer still stands if you're curious, you know?

Zenji Kotodama

For the sake of this headcanon prompt, let's all pretend he's still alive in this scenario :)

He's a little conflicted, to be honest. On one hand, he doesn't want to deceive the good people working at the café. But he also doesn't want to see you dejected.

You felt bad you had put him in that situation, so you tell him he doesn't have to say yes if he didn't want to.

It's a shame you didn't get the discount, but you'd definitely feel more guilty if you roped Zenji into something he didn't want to do.

Oh well, you'll ask someone else to be your pretend partner next time.

A/N: Alright! We're back after a little intermission :)

Taiga Hoshibami

I have a feeling he'd say yes not because he also wants the discount, but because he finds it amusing.

"Huh? You want me to be your boyfriend for a discount? Gyahaha! Well, well... Aren't you one smart kitty-cat?"

I'm sorry to tell you this but even with the discount, you'd still have to spend a small fortune with that appetite of his.

He's probably not the best choice for this despite his easy agreement.

Romeo Scorpius Lucci

Looks at you like you'd just offended him and three generations of his family.

Excuse me? Do you think him a cheap nobody? HDY?!

Huffs and puffs as he storms away.

It's a no from him no matter how many times you ask.

Ritsu Shinjo

"This can be considered as fraud and is punishable by jail for 10 years with additional fines."

He continued telling you all the legal repercussions you could get for it for 10 minutes.

Yeah, sorry. It's a no from him either.

Even if you tell him it's only one time, it's still a no.

Still, if you do this with someone else and you got caught, you know who to call.

Haru Sagara

Will absolutely agree. No ifs or buts.

He's on the lookout for tips on how to save money so for him, your suggestion was brilliant.

Especially since the food and drinks were all good.

Let him know if you need a partner for these things again and he'll come running.

Towa Otonashi

I don't think you'd even need to ask him to pretend to be your boyfriend, not when the two of you already look like one because of how sweet he is to you.

Still, try to ask him or else he'll get confused when you suddenly refer to him as your partner.

It's a shame he can't eat the foods on the couple's menu though. Buy him a salad to make it up to him.

He probably won't mind that this was just a pretend when he sees how happy you are.

Ren Shiranami

"Heh. They're probably not getting a lot of customers for them to offer discounts even though it's not Valentine's Day... Huh? You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?!"

Gapes at you. Are being serious right now?

All this... just to get that discount?

Might take a bit of convincing before you get him to agree.

And even after he does, he will make sure to let you know he does not like it.

Or so he thought.

The food almost made him change his stance. Almost.

But then he saw how much you're enjoying yourself.

........

Okay. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea.

He won't admit it out loud though.
