           ❝ … huh ? what’s gotten into you , kyoko ? ❞ another successful hunt - the two had been working together for a bit at this point , ever since kyoko had saved sayaka from being on the brink of despair . all was well &&wrapped up , but as she’d turned on her heel to leave she’d felt a tug on the back of her uniform .

              an awkward smile would make its way to the knight’s face as she turned back to face the other . ❝ hey , it’ll be alright , y’know - ❞

             her smile faded soon after , catching sight of a look she’d never seen on the lancer’s face before . it was something that chilled sayaka to the core - but it felt more like fear for kyoko , not fear of her .

           ❝ hey … seriously . if you need me , i’m not going anywhere . ❞

          it   was  stupid       —     she   knew   it   was .      had   promised   herself   a   long   time   ago   that   she   was   done   caring   about   others .      that   she   wasn’t   interested   in   getting   close   to   anyone   else .      especially   not   other  magical   girls .      not   people   she   knew   she   would   only   end   up   hurting .     would   end   up   hurt   because  of   her .      but   that   had   been   shattered   under   the   presence   of   sayaka       —      didn’t   know   what   it   was   that   drew   her   to   the   other   so   strongly .      made   it   difficult   to   ignore   her .      brush   her   off   even   when   it   would   have   been   so   easy   to .

          but   now   it   was   there ,      stronger   than   ever   &&   as   she   watched   the   other   turn   to   walk   away ,      FEAR   seized   her   by   the   throat   nearly   strangled   her   as   she   almost   instinctively   reached   out   to   stop   the   other       —      fingers   curled   into   the   back   the   other’s   school   uniform ,      though   when   she   realized   what   she   was   doing   she'd   force   fingers   to   LET   GO .      she   shouldn’t   have   said   anything .      was   no   good   reason   to   worry   sayaka   like   this   when   there   was   no   present   danger .      but   the   way   that   uneasy   dread   gripped   her   heart   made   it   feel   like   there   was .      suddenly   afraid   that   the   moment   sayaka   left   her   sight ,      the   next   time   she   saw   her   she’d   be   DEAD .

          it’s   illogical .      she   KNOWS   it   is .      but   the   image   of   the   desolation   of   her   father’s   church   only   stood   to   reaffirm   that   fear       —      insisted   that   it   was   true .      backed   up   by   mami’s   death .      by   the   fact   that   everyone   else   she’d   cared   about   was   GONE .      &&   now   sayaka       —      how   long   was   it   going   to   be   before   something   happened   to   her ?      how   long   before   something   got   her   that   kyouko   couldn’t   protect   her   from ?      (      why   was   the   fear   only   BUILDING   every   time   she   let   her   walk   away ?      she   was   only   going   home       —       she   should   be   safe .      )

          so   why   did   those   words   nearly   make   her   fall   apart   completely ?      she’s   supposed   to   be   strong .      fearless .      so   why   do   those   words   manage   to   drive   a   KNIFE   into   her   heart ?      she’s   not   going   anywhere .      god ,      please   let   that   be   TRUE .      wasn’t   sure   if   she   could   HANDLE   losing   sayaka ,      too .      not   to   death ,      at   least .      not   to   witches .      not   to   the   cycle   of   bullcrap   they’d   been   dragged   into   as   magical   girls .      but   how   could   she   answer ?      wasn’t   sure   there   was   any   honest   way   to   tell   her   without   sounding   like   a   loser .      didn’t   want   sayaka   to   think   less   of   her .      not   when   the   last   time   she’d   said   anything   it   hadn’t   gone   over   too   well .

          but   she   doesn’t   want   sayaka   to   leave .      doesn’t   want   to   be   alone .      knew   there   was   no   reason   to   keep   hunting   witches ,      but   didn’t   want   to   let   her   go .      not   when   she   knew   the   fear   already   building   in   her   stomach   would   only   get   worse   if   she   did .      “      i       —      ”      a   sharp   inhale   as   she   stopped   herself .      shoved   her   hands   into   her   pockets   as   her   gaze   momentarily   fell   to   the   ground   between   them .      she   can’t   insist   that   sayaka   stay .      wasn’t   like   she   had   anything   to   offer   her .      not   even   really   food   at   the   moment .      only   thing   she   really   had   to   offer   at   this   point   was   her   fighting   ability ,      &&   as   sayaka   kept   getting   better   she   knew   that   wouldn’t   mean   much .      especially   not   when   sayaka   was   also   still   capable   of   using   her   magic .

AU HEADCANONS | @magimuses​

My blog is filled with human au headcanons. But for the sake of simplicity and intro-ing people to it, let’s cover the basics, shall we?

Kibo Idabashi is just as much as a dork as normal Kiibo is, aside from having some vague sensibility about the world due to being naturally human. He holds the talent of the Ultimate Robotics Engineer due to his creative tenacity in building and creating various robots. It’s quite possible he will cling to whoever happens to be the Ultimate Robot in this particular AU.

He was raised by his father, Professor Idabashi, and was often brought to various university lectures due to his father not finding the right time to balance his work life and taking care of his son. He was also home-schooled and learnt quite a lot of robotics knowledge from the Professor and his colleagues, which is where the interest for his talent first started from.

His most prominent features are his wonderful little freckles ( which replace the lines on Kiibo’s face ) and his ahoge which never stays down no matter what he does. He also treasures wearing lab coats like his father and can often be seen wearing one even when he’s not working. He also has prominent eyebags due to a lack of sleep and is addicted to caffeine.

Kibo has quite the reputation to uphold due to being an Idabashi and therefore many technologically advanced people and fellow roboticists expect quite a lot out of him despite being very young. He feels quite the tremendous amount of stress due to his talent, and though he knows the Professor would never pressure him, he still feels the need to prove that his learnt skills hadn’t gone to waste.

She had assumed that the other girl was like her. After all, Robin was beginning to get a hold of her newfound powers, using her senses to try and find others like her. She knows there must be. Mitakihara is so big, so vast. And yet, so little space.

The wolf magi places her hands down on the bench, one coming to lay on her uniform ribbon and messing idly with it, hoping her pushing wasn’t as awkward as she felt it was going to be.

“Really? Ya mean it?” she questioned, eyes lighting up a bit at the offer Mami had given her. There was regular food, then there was Mami’s food; it was such a huge leap in quality that she could feel herself salivating already.

             ❝ hey – c’mon , now , kyoko . don’t talk like that , okay ? ❞ pauses for a moment – never liking when the air between the knight && the lancer became too tense , not when it came to matters of whether the former would always have the other’s back . of whether or not she would begin to ever tire of being in the company of someone as fiery && passionate , yet loyal - caring , as kyoko . someone who had saved her when she had become unable to save even herself .

            well … the answer should be obvious , no ?

          ❝ i fawned over a guy who’d barely even look at me for how long && you seriously think i’m gonna get tired of you – ? ❞ she can’t help but LAUGH slightly - trying to hold it back to not appear rude but failing . she finds the other’s worries ridiculous , because in sayaka’s eyes her dedication was simply that absolute . ❝ you’re too much , kyoko ! i feel lucky to have such a strong - willed person by my side . i feel like i could take on anything because of you - you dummy . ❞

          the   other’s   first   words   would   have   been   enough   to   at   least   silence   her      —      that   fear   still  bubbling   up   in   her   throat ,      though   she   was   prepared   to   shove   it   back       —      pretend   it   WASN’T   THERE ,      because   what   else   could   she   do ?      didn’t   dare   say   anything   when   it   would   probably   only   make   sayaka   tire   of   her   even   faster .      hands   were   shoved   into   the   pockets   of   her   sweater ,      drew   in   a   deep   breath   to  try   to   keep   the   tightening   of   her   throat   at   bay .

          but   sayaka   continued       —      drew   ruby   eyes   back   towards   her ,      head   tilted   to   the   side   slighly ,      uncertain .      but   there   was   something   so   GENUINE   in   sayaka’s   words ,      whether   slightly   teasing   or   not .      something   that   managed   to   tug   a   small   smile   onto   the   redhead’s   lips   at   the   other’s   laugh       —      a   sound   that   made   her   heart   seem   to   swell   in   her   chest .      wondered   idly   if   there’d   ever   be   a   time   that   she   wouldn’t   find   a   sense   of   security   in   the   other’s   smile .      comfort   in   her   laugh   &&   the   lighthearted   cadence   of   her   voice .     (      relief   in   the   fact   that   she’s   still   alive .      )      wondered   if   sayaka   understood   just   how   much   kyouko   would   do   for   her .     that   now   that   mami   was   GONE ,     she   was   all   kyouko   had .

TOUCH-STARVED STARTERS!! [x]

@magimuses

“I can understand that. Not a lot of families are anymore.” At least, around her. Her parents were always very affectionate, and as such, she grew up very attuned to that trait. Ever since her family died, though, she had become very, very touch-starved.

Robin finished the rest of her ramen, leaning back in her seat to look up at the sky. It was kinda chilly. So warm soup was a good remedy for that.

❝ So.. do you think BB-chan can be a magical girl ? I bet I’ll be the cutest and well, my attack is low but I’m a great supporting tank !   ❞
