Alphen x Shionne

Shionne finds out about it and is intent on the idea. Food and kisses? Yes plz

Alphen is embarrassed but intrigued

Shionne buys several packs and forgets she can like. Just eat the pocky. Without the kisses. Alphen almost keels over from sugar overdose trying to keep her happy

Dohalim x Kisara

It's silly but the whimsy of it draws Kisara

Dohalim misses the point and buys sticks of various jerky to try it with

Kisara is Not Impressed

(But she tries it anyway)

At least she came prepared with the right thing

And knowing Do's tastes, she brought a variety of flavors instead of just the common chocolate

Do is partial to banana pocky

Law and Rinwell

Law wants. So badly. To do this with Rinwell

She is Uninterested

(He hasn't even gotten the guts to ask her on a date)

(And now here's the darling idiot with a box of pocky stumbling over his words in a failed attempt to explain the game)

They share the pocky in the courtyard at the Autelina Palace while Rinwell reads a book and Law just enjoys the time together

(He feels ridiculous)

(But he also just likes spending the time together so it's still a win)

You hated your dad's questions. Your words stumbled along without a shred of the eloquence that your father was known for, and you knew, you knew that the more you rambled the stupider you sounded, but you couldn't help it. All you could do was watch the furrow between his brows grow deeper and deeper and no amount of talking could smooth it out. Whatever answer he was looking for, you could never find it, and always walked away feeling like you had disappointed him deeply and would never live up to him.

- titled “an angry blade”, exploration of Law’s life immediately after his mother dies up to where he joins the group

It's enough of a concession that Law's able to recede back into his usual barely-awake state of being during these events. Or attempt to, anyway. Instead he spends the next twenty minutes berating himself for his lapse in judgement. He had survived nearly four years in this hellhole by doing his best to avoid everyone else and keeping his head down and mouth shut; he wasn't tough enough or clever enough to survive any other way. And yeah, okay, he wasn't always very good at shutting up or not drawing attention to himself when his temper got the best of him, but he'd at least been able to stick to the avoiding part. So naturally, less than two days after getting the crap beaten out of him, he decides to go for broke, and with someone who not only has actively threatened to kill him but is also incredibly invested in projecting how much she loathes the organization to everyone who has eyes.
