A/N: Adding yet another fandom to the mix, Iāve been trying to branch out, and get more comfortable writing for things even if Iām not super deep into the fandom just yet
You first meet him in Shibuya when he suddenly talks to you, heās bright, playful, and completely ignores your confusion, slipping into your space like itās the most natural thing in the world
Even when you try to brush him off, he keeps talking, teasing, and smiling in a way that makes it hard for you to actually leave
After that, he keeps appearing (too often to be a mere coincidence) every time you question it, he shrugs it off with a grin and calls it fate, never giving you a real answer
Being around him is strange at first, heās cheerful and clingy one moment, then distant the next, his tone dropping just slightly, his expression becoming more sharp when he thinks you arenāt paying attention
You notice the shift early, but you donāt confront him about it, and that alone is what makes you different from other people heās met
Instead of trying to figure him out, you just treat him the same no matter how he acts, and that unsettles him more than anything
He starts seeking you out on purpose after that, pulling you along into his routines, his spaces, his life
He teases you constantly, calling you cute, leaning in too close, testing your reactions just to see how far he can push you. Itās playful on the surface, but thereās always something more observant behind his eyes
Over time, the physical closeness becomes natural, his hand brushing yours, his head resting against you, one day you take his hand without thinking, and though he laughs it off, his grip becomes just a little tighter
People start assuming youāre together before you ever talk about it, and he never corrects them, when you bring it up, he deflects like always, but thereās a rare hesitation underneath it
The moment things change isnāt dramatic, it happens when heās unusually subdued, his usual energy dimmed as he mutters that staying close to him wonāt end well for you
From there, the line between ānot datingā and ādatingā disappears without either of you clearly defining it, he just starts acting like youāre his, and somehow, you donāt argue
Being with him is inconsistent in a way that only makes sense once you understand him, heās bright, affectionate, and teasing, dragging you through the city and sharing sweets with you and other days heās quieter, keeping you close in a way that feels more like self reassurance than his usual playfulness
Despite how easily he flirts with others, it never feels the same; thereās a clear difference in how he treats you, even if he never says it outright
You become one of the only people who sees both sides of him, the bright, careless persona and the colder, more guarded reality underneath, and instead of pulling away, you stay
And even if he avoids putting it into words, it shows in the way he keeps coming back to you, choosing you in all the quiet ways that matter more than anything he could actually say

Ramuda, popular fashion designer in the eclectic city of Shibuya.
Ramuda, notorious flirt whoās charisma never fails to gather a crowd.
Ramuda, currently struggling in your kitchen trying to make you breakfast in bed.
Truthfully, heās never seen a fridge as full as yours. Despite having an entirely other person living in his studio, Ramuda and Dice tended to order in more than not (and that is when Ramuda decides he wants to eat). His fridge consisted of leftover take out, easy to microwave meals, and expensive pastries he splurged on when he felt like it.
Your fridge actually looked like it could sustain a human. And of course it did, you werenāt like Ramuda. You didnāt have the money to order out on a whim, you actually needed to eat in order to survive, and you actually had a home that felt like a home.
Ramuda couldnāt relate to any of that, at least not yet.
Nowadays, heās slept over and your place more often than not. Heās found a place into your routine. Whereād youād try and make something quick in the morning before you went off to work- where you went grocery shopping every Saturday even if you didnāt have an exact list to follow.
Itās Saturday morning and Ramuda wants to be a good partner- so heās making you breakfast- if only to prove himself as a permanent part of your routine.
But GOODNESS heās never cooked a second in his life.
Why is the egg splattering on the oiled pan? Is it supposed to? Thereās smoke rising but thereās no flame.
Are you supposed to add oil to bacon? Why did the bacon also splash? Why does everything splash?! And WOW oil hurts and Ramuda knows heās going to have to change.
Where do you keep your juice? Heās seen you drink a glass every morning. Waitā¦ is that a juicer on your counter? Donāt tell him you make juice every morning too.
Your rice cooker is easy, itās just like Gentaro taught him- from the trick of water to his second knuckle and washing the rice at least three times to ensure itās clean. Itās probably the only relieving part about the process.
You wake up alone in your bed, stumbling through your apartment to hear the noises in your kitchen. You grab an umbrella from the hallway, holding it in such a way that youāre prepared to attack any possibly intruder.
Youāre a little delirious from sleep- so when you see your lovely lovely boyfriend- absolutely freaking out over a pan of burnt bacon- holding a cutting board to his face as he flips a sunny side up egg- all to the tune of your rice cookerās melody-
You can hardly believe it.
āRamu-?ā You mumble, letting go of the umbrella. He runs into your arms in a fearful cry.
āHow do you do this every morningā¦ā He buries his head into your neck. āI canātā¦ how am I gonna fit into your life?ā
āOh Ramu,ā you coo, holding him with a smile as you try and reassure his fears. āThank you, you know you donāt have to do this.ā
āI donāt know how to cook an eggā¦ā Heās pouty, and goodness heās adorable.
āYeah, I can see,ā you muse, āHere, letās clean up and I can show you how~ā
āOkay-ā heās cut off by a tearful sniff he canāt contain, ā-sweetie.ā
āAnd this time, letās not burn down my apartment.ā
years passed and ure still foul in my inbox šššš (i answered anyway)

ā RAMUDA AMEMURA
In the most literal sense, Ramudaās kisses are as sweet as candy. You can always taste the flavours but you can never really tell which one is his favourite. Sometimes it'd be strawberry and sometimes it'd be chocolate. After some time, it became a game between you two to figure out what flavour he just ate prior to your kiss. He finds it cute whenever you're off the mark and uses it as an excuse to go in for another kiss.
Despite his sweet taste, Ramudaās kisses can range from small pecks he gives to you in the middle of Shibuya to aggressive kisses tinged with a desperation he doesn't dare name. You can't help but think the gap was too different, like they were two different people entirely but you knew that it was the same Ramuda. His blatant display of his switch was proof that he places his trust in youānot even flings came this far, no one reached far enough to grasp his heart.
He kisses you as if it's his last, savouring every single moment he gets stuck to you. He kisses you as if it's his first time being in love, hesitant yet unadulterated in its entirety. He kisses you as if it's the only thing that can make him feel alive, the only time where his ādefectā makes him feel whole. If the perfect version of himself meant that he'd have to get rid of all his emotions and the pleasure of being able to have you in his arms like this, then he'd rather keep his imperfections.
ā SAMATOKI AOHITSUGI
Samatoki already has a rough time mellowing down, especially when he's agitated, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't try for you. Kisses with him would often fall under the two categories: aggressive with no restraint or an awkward attempt to give you a gentler kiss. The latter doesn't come to him as easily as the former, he knew better than anyone else that his greed can't be easily satiated.
At first he could live with quick kisses on the cheek and maybe the occasional peck on the lips that you would leave for him before you go on about your day. He was a bit bashful at first, saying that it was humiliating doing that in public but he never refuted it no matter how many times it happened. It was just a petty excuse to avoid saying he didn't mind it, the only downside was that his subordinates kept getting the wrong idea that he softened up.
Then, after a while, simple kisses didn't do much for him. He swore to himself that he was better than this but selfishness made its way to the tip of his fingers and he can no longer control the way he'd cup your face with his hand as he leaned in for a kiss. It was gentler, yes, but you can clearly tell that he was eager. Patience was never his forte but you found a certain charm in seeing Samatoki struggle.
Summary: Dice knows how to scare Ramuda now, and he's been taking advantage of it every chance he gets. While you should tell him to stop, your boyfriend always runs to you for protection. You can't really say no to that.
Pairing: Amemura Ramuda X Fem!Reader
Genre: Fluffyish Oneshot
Word Count: 1160
Warning: N/A
Masterlist
A/N: A little Halloween in spring for the hell of it.
Ever since Dice found out how easy it was to scare Ramuda, he has never known a moment of peace. Any chance Dice can freak out his friend, he takes it. As Ramuda's beloved girlfriend, you know you should be supportive and tell Dice to stop. However, every time he got scared, he ran into your arms, crying about how terrified he was and how thankful he was that you protected him. So really you canāt complain.
When spooky month finally rolled around, you planned on watching some tame Halloween movies with Ramuda in costume. That is the best part of the holiday: the costumes. He was wearing a Jack Skellington onesie, while you were in your Sally onesie. You even had a Zero plush in between the two of you. It was super comfy. You both had just finished the Halloweentown series and were just starting Hocus Pocus.
It was the perfect night, really. Ramuda needed a night to take a breath after working so hard on his fashion line. You also missed being curled up against him, with his arm slung protectively over you. Not only that, but it was fun to eat as much candy as you wanted and watch cute Halloween movies together. Everything was great.
And then the power went out.
āAw man.ā You groaned, blindly looking for your phone. āWhat the hell happened?ā
āI donāt know.ā Ramuda answered, sounding just as surprised as you. āI think a fuse might have blown? But I could be wrongā¦ā
Turning on your phoneās flashlight, you frowned. āDamn. Do you know how to fix it?ā
He shook his head. āNope.ā
āWell, we can call maintenance I guess.ā You were about to dial the number when a strange noise reached your ears.
You felt Ramuda stiffen next to you. āDid you hear that?ā When you nodded, he then asked, āWhat was that?ā
āIām not sure. But itās probably nothing.ā You glanced over to see him pale considerably. āIf youāre scared, I can go check it out.ā
āWhat? No!ā He sputtered, grabbing onto your arm so you wouldnāt leave him. āWhat kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you go wandering around the building alone when you could get hurt? Besides, Iām not scared at all!ā
You couldnāt help yourself as you asked, āAre you sure?ā
He scoffed. āPositive. Werenāt you calling maintenance?ā
Just as you were about to reply, the noise sounded again and you stood up. āHere, you call them yourself. Iām going to go check it out.ā
āWhat! No! Absolutely not!ā Ramuda's grip on your arm tightened, telling you just how scared he pretended not to be. āHavenāt you seen any horror movie ever? You go out there and something bad will happen to you or to me!ā
āOh, donāt worry about little ole me. Iāll be fine!ā You assured him. āBut if youāre so worried about my safety, Iāll get a knife from the kitchen and then go hunt for some monsters! Itāll be fun! It's the perfect time of the year to do it!ā
āNo! It will not be fun!ā He whined. āJust stay here, with me, so I can keep you safe.ā
You chuckled. āI donāt know, I think Iām the one who needs to keep you safe.ā
āRude.ā
The sound was a lot closer this time. āOkay, seriously, Ramuda. I need to go see whatās going on. I promise Iāll be safe but I need to see whatās happening.ā
āBut!ā
You were not deterred as he continued to pull at your arm. Grabbing your phone, you kissed him on the cheek before finally shook him off you and left with the light. He watched it disappear into the kitchen with you. When the light didnāt move, he thought you were just being picky-choosy over which knife to use, but it still wasnāt moving.
Despite the feeling of imminent danger, he called out, āY/n?ā
The light went out, plunging the room into complete darkness.
Now Ramuda was terrified beyond belief. What the hell just happened? Fumbling with his own phone, he turned on the flashlight and made his way into the kitchen. You werenāt there but your phone was. Confusion and fear made him start to shake. Why didnāt you just listen to him and stay with him on the couch?
āSeriously, this isnāt funny! Come back right now!ā But nothing happened.
Taking matters into his own hands, he started to search for a knife for himself. But he found that all the silverware was missing. Instead of pondering why the spoons were also missing, he started to hyperventilate.Ā
āTHIS ISNāT FUNNY ANYMORE! COME OUT NOW!ā He shouted, his voice wavering with fear.
The door opened and Ramuda rushed to see if you had come back. But it wasnāt you. It was Dice. Anger started to overtake his fear as he grabbed his collar.
āDice! I knew you were behind this! Whereās Y/n? This isnāt funny! What are the two of you planning?ā Ramuda snapped, still trying to sound brave.
His friend looked at him like he was crazy. āWhat are you talking about? I just came to steal some of your candy because I was hungry and because your girlfriend usually lets me steal from you.ā
āThen why is the power out and WHERE IS Y/N?!ā
āDude, I donāt know, but whatever you think is happening, it isnāt me. She told me to give you a break tonight, and I agreed because she bribed me with food and money. I have no idea whatās going on here!ā He explained.
Ramuda's fear doubled. Someone was in the building and they had taken his girlfriend. āThen whereāsā¦ā
āSheās not here anymore.ā A voice whispered in his ear behind him.
Letting out the loudest scream ever, the lights flickered on. Gentaro was laughing his ass off and even Dice was doubled over laughing. Ramuda could feel a few stray tears slip down his cheeks. He wanted to throttle both of them for this stupid joke!
āWhat the hell, Gentaro!ā He screamed. āThatās not funny!ā
āIt wasnāt supposed to be funny!ā Gentaro said. āIt was supposed to be scary and I got you so good!ā
āShut up, whereās my girlfriend?ā
Just then, you appeared from a backroom. You huffed, folding your arms over your chest. āDice grabbed me when I entered the kitchen. Seriously guys, I said weāre not doing the scary thing tonight! Now apologize to Ramuda, or so help me, Iāll get you back five times as bad as you got him.ā
Gentaro and Dice quickly apologized to Ramuda. āWeāre sorry. We didnāt mean to scare you that bad.ā
He just scoffed and pulled you into his arms, burying his face into your shoulder. Stroking his hair, you whispered in his ear, āWant to keep watching movies with me? I can kick these idiots out too.ā
Ramuda nodded, content with the fact that you were always going to be there to protect him.

Could I have Sasara Samatoki and Ramuda finding out their usually cheery airheaded s/o is on Fluoxetine on accident? They would have no idea their s/o had depression or anything like that based on their s/oās demeanor around them. How would they take care of her after that? Thank you, sorry my english is not the best š Your writing is always so creative and beautiful so I wanted to write a request, I hope it is ok! Have a great day :)
Sasara, Samatoki and Ramuda finding out their usually cheery airheaded fem! s/o is depressed
hiiii!! hii ahhh!! don't worry, your English is pretty good! <3 Also wow creative.. No one ever calls my works like that, thank you very much, honey!! ^^
femreader, comfort, mention of meds, angst a little;;
-When you two met, he was sure that you're soulmates! As goofy and cheerful as him, you always were ready to encourage any of his ideas and just loved his jokes!
-So when he, in a hurry and without a second thought, opens your bedside table to find a pen, a box of meds really confuses him. Do you feel sick these days? Strange, he didn't notice..
-Of course Sasara worried, so instead of just placing it back he would read the label and the pretty familiar name makes his stomach clench in cold shivers. Aren't these the same tablets he drank after his disband with Rosho back ago..?
-This is the first time when your boyfriend would look at you from a different angle. Always considering you as just a positive person, he never thought that maybe you two actually are even more alike. That you're also hiding some kind of trauma behind these jokes and smiles, just like him.
-But ahhh, how embarrassing it would be for Sasara, to actually confess he found out..! So he would just slowly get more gentle around you.
-Of course even before he was such a softie around you, so clingy with his hugs and kisses, and of course puns. Yet now his touches are more.. soft? Like if you suddenly become a porcelain doll and he can't jump around you like always, instead tightly holding you closer to his chest. Ah, now you can't see his face, in such a pose.. What is he thinking about?
-"S/o.. Please, remember I will always love you, no matter what.." - he suddenly mumbled and you got even more confused, surprised with such a low and quiet tone. - "I adore you not because you're like me, but because you are you. With your weaknesses and problems that I'll always accept."
-He just wants to say that you can be more open to him..! As Sasara really wants to help you with your conditions and is willing to listen to your vent every day, if it would help you. There's surprisingly deep words that can't be heard that often from him.
-Now your boyfriend would try to have a more thoughtful conversation with you, so you both can share your worries. As a person who also was in a difficult situation, he knows how much support means.
-And he also knows all these small tips on how to make it easier for you - more fresh air and proper rest, now Sasara would try to control your diet and sleep schedule, and make sure you always take your meds in time. But in some casual silly way, so you wouldn't feel any pressure.
-Jokes can make you feel better, yes, and he doesn't forget about that, cheering you up with some cute wholesome puns. His plan is to make you feel better due to small changes, so you don't even notice how your life slowly gets better.
-"Sasara.. Thank you, really.." - you mumble during another cuddle session together. There's no way you didn't notice his changes, but this new, even more caring side of his love was so pleasant. - "I adore you for all you did for me.."
"Hehe.. And then I agate you, my dear!" - your boyfriend places a small kiss on your forehead and then giggles at your confused face. - "A gate is bigger than a door, s/o..!"
-This difference between your cheerful behavior and his more grumpy one was adored by your boyfriend more than you thought. Maybe it's hard to admit, but he really loves how you freshen his worldview with your happy-go-lucky attitude.
-Samatoki really wanted to protect this friendliness of yours from this cruel world, as he was sure that you actually didn't experience anything bad. And it hit hard when he accidentally found some bottles of pills that you forgot in the bathroom.
-He's not angry or annoyed by you, mostly by himself. Because it means he failed as a boyfriend, and it's his fault you didn't share this side of yours.
-It would be especially painful when he googled about these meds and found out it's antidepressants.
-Of course he would talk about this immediately, really trying to act calm as he doesn't want you to think he's pissed. Actually, all that Samatoki wants is to know why you didn't tell him, and how long you take it.
-Despite all traumatic events in his life, your boyfriend never considered to start taking something like that too, but it doesn't mean he can't help you properly - already being overprotective, now he just pampers you with attention.
-Always checking what you have eaten today, scolding you without rancor for a bad sleep schedule, forcing you to have more breaks during work.. His actions may look a little bit harsh but he just genuinely cares about you.
-"Here, s/o.. I bought you new vitamins." - with a sigh, Samatoki gets closer and pat your head. - "Don't forget to take them too now, alright? My old friend is Doc and he tells me it would be really helpful.."
-As a Yakuza, he has pretty much money and doesn't mind spending it on your needs, like finding maybe a more expensive but better psychologist or start taking new medication.
-Cause your well-being is more important and he tries to show you in all possible ways that you don't need to hide anything from him, even something that you find ugly or annoying about yourself.
-"Samatoki.. You really think it's worth it?" - in the dark, your words sound so weak after long hours of futile attempts to sleep. - "You know.. I appreciate you care, but aren't you tire-"
"No I'm not. Sleep." - his sleepy voice was so low and husky, as Samatoki embraced you in a warm hug. - "Sleep and remember that there's no way I would ever get tired of you, alright? Even if you would ask this every day..or night."
-Ahhh, aren't you two just the most precious couple in the world?! Two sweet cheerful angels, hehe! Ramuda just loves to tease you a little, as your airheaded behavior kinda reminds him of Dice and he's waiting to see the same amusing reaction for you like from his friend.
-Well.. But Ramuda is not a fool. Everyone has their secrets, and his lively behavior hides many many skeletons in the closet of his soul. So despite that he loves how similar you are, he still waits for some catch from your side too.
-And when a small bottle of pills was found in your bag by his nimble hands when Ramuda just wanted to bring your perfume that you asked for, it wasn't a surprise. Well, maybe just a little, as he was having other ideas in his mind, not mental illness.
-And yes, he's now worried. Even Ramuda can actually care about someone, especially about his girlfriend, as he considers you as someone who's closer to him than any onesans and even his teammates. He considers you as someone who he can open his heart to.
-But it's the reason why he's actually angry now, clinging to you with puffy cheeks and puckered brow. All this time he was so obedient and sincere, and you?!
-"Take note that you owe me at least.. mm, twenty kisses now, for such misconduct!" - he scoffs in his charming manner, before making a more sensitive, soft face. - "You're my precious doll and I need to take care of you, okay? Don't lie to me..!"
-Well, but despite his sweet playful tone, Ramuda actually wants to help you. Most of the time he prefers to use people to understand their emotions better, so he would know how to act and fake it in different situations. But if we talk about you and your state, it's actually a serious theme for me.
-It's just his way to help you get over it - to continue being your sweet cute boyfriend, cheering your life with his presence. In such a teasing tone it's easier to show his care without you noticing the depth of his worry.
-So now wait a bunch of texts from Ramuda everyday, as he asks about your well-being, reminds you to eat more proper food and leave all the candy just for him.
-And of course, a private, exclusive fashion show just for you! Aren't his cute accessories and colorful outfits make you forget about all other problems, as he runs around you, chirping how adorable you look now?
-"I don't know, isn't this too fancy?" - you can't help but giggle, looking at yourself in the mirror. - "Actually, I don't remember seeing this dress before on your shelves.."
"Ahh, cause I sewed this one just for you, s/o..!" - like a small rabbit, Ramuda jumps closer, hugging you tightly. - "A special dress for my special dolly! This soft fabric would protect you from all worries, okay? But to activate this effect you need to kiss the designer, hehe.."
Plot/Summary: This feeling has always been lingering in the back of his mind, but he knew that this can't last forever. Despite loving you for so long, he finally decides to let you go.
A/N: I recommend you listen to the instrumental of Buster Bros' Re:start whilst reading this as I was listening to it whilst writing this and honestly, it made the angst 10x worse! I might continue this fic because I actually really like it, and I love Ramuda so why not?
[I love Hypmic so much and I've always wanted to write fics surrounding the franchise, but I'm still pretty new to it, so please bare with me on how I portray these characters. I'm trying my hardest to make these accurate to the character as possible. Thank you for understanding and I hope you enjoy reading!]
There was something important that you needed to get done today and it involved you visiting the most popular toy shop in Shibuya. This city was known for its shopping let alone its vast entertainment, fashion, and restaurants, so this task was bound to be easy for you!
You stepped inside the building in awe at the wide range of plushies. They ranged from big to small, from animals to people to even little accessories for them as well! You were already tempted to get something for yourself, but that wasn't the reason why you were here.
You wondered around the shop trying to find a specific item in stock. It was extremely crowded, so you ended up bumping into a lot of other customers.
Hmm, where could it be? you thought to yourself, already overwhelmed. It should be here...!
Thankfully, a shop assistant caught your eye and helped you find the item that you were looking for. Once you were shown the selection of plushie keychains, your worries disappeared just like that. You thanked the worker profusely.
You giggled to yourself as you picked up the two matching bunny keychains. One was pink whilst the other one was white. Both bunnies were wearing bows of the other's colour. It was so cute!
"Ramuda would love this!" you chirped.
Yes, the sole reason you came to this particular area was to buy a little gift for your boyfriend, Ramuda. You saw the two plushies advertised on your Twitter feed and instantly thought of him. You thought it would be so cute to have matching keychains with the love of your life!
You exited the store happily with the plushies you just bought. You can't wait to surprise Ramuda with them, and it was a perfect day to do so because he had asked you to meet up with him this evening.
"I wonder what he has planned for us tonight~" you wondered excitedly.
In his shop, Ramuda was anxiously scribbling in his sketchbook, thinking of ideas on what new clothes to design but to no avail because all he could think about was you.
The page he was currently working on was now filled with messy, indescribable pencil scratches. Whatever he was doodling wasn't pretty and he knew of it. He just wanted to rip everything out, destroy everything until these feelings of his were no more.
"Are you okay?" asked Gentarou, looking at Ramuda's sketches from behind his shoulder.
And as on cue, Ramuda immediately slammed his sketchbook shut and answered cheerfully, "I'm A-OK! I'm just having art block at the moment! Nothing too serious. I'll try again later~!"
Gentarou didn't believe a second of it, but shrugged it off.
"Just so you know," Gentarou began. "You can always tellā"
Ramuda cut him off. "I'm alright," he said slowly.
He jumped up from his seat to give his usual little twirl.
"Well, I'm off to see (Y/N) now~!" he exclaimed. "She's waiting for me, so I have to be there quick! I'll be back, so you don't need to close the shop. See you later~!"
Gentarou watched his friend skip out of the shop hurriedly. Once he was gone, Dice entered.
"I just saw Ramuda run out," he stated. "He wasn't looking too good. Is he okay?"
Gentarou merely shook his head.
You idled around the park, taking in the cool breeze and the amber sunset above. It truly was a beautiful evening and you couldn't wait to spend it with Ramuda.
A thought popped into your head. You should take a picture of the plushies you bought today with the sunset in the background!
You placed the two bunnies down on one of the park's benches, positioning them together as if they were holding hands. You giggled to yourself at how embarrassing this was, but it was such a cute idea! You were thankful that the park was empty at this time.
You quickly snapped a picture and to your satisfaction, it was the most beautiful picture of a sunset you have ever taken. You couldn't wait to post this on your Instagram page with your lover tagged!
"(Y/N)!"
You could hear faint footsteps running towards you. Shoving the plushies back into your bag before Ramuda could see them, you turned around to greet your boyfriend with the brightest smile on your face.
His pace slowed down as he stopped a few metres away from you. Seeing you smile at him like that made his heart ache. He would usually match your expression, but this time, he returned your smile with a look of such emptiness that it just wasnāt hard to miss.
Your smile faded away quickly.
"Ramuda... are you okay...?"
The distance between you two was unbearable, but you knew that you werenāt permitted to cross the invisible barrier Ramuda was holding up. So, you stayed stuck to your spot, and he did too.
ā(Y/N),ā he repeated, but with sadness to his tone. āRemember when you asked me where my parents wereā¦ or what my childhood was like?ā
You didnāt know where he was going with this.
He continued, āā¦or which high school I attended? Who I was before I became a fashion designer? Before The Dirty Dawg? ā¦But I didnāt answer any of it?ā
You stared at him. He wasn't the Ramuda you were used to seeing everyday. His demeanour was completely different, but it wasn't too much of a surprise to you. Sometimes, you'd catch glimpses of this other personality, but you doubt he'd ever catch you noticing it.
āā¦I had none of what you had, none of what the average person has had in their lives. You could even say that I did not even have a life before any of this. You may not believe me, (Y/N), but what Iām going to tell you from this point on is the truth. Unfortunately, I canāt give you too many details as itās not in my right.ā
He watched your expression, the confusion and worry on your face. You wanted to ask him why he was bringing this up now, but you continued to stay in your spot, awaiting his explanation.
As he stated before, he didnāt bring up too many details. Though, he confessed that the personality he presented to others including you was all made up ā a lie. He mentioned that he wasnāt the āreal Ramudaā and that he could never be the real one. He told you that he merely exists for someone else, not himself, and if he were to disobey them, he would be killed. He described himself as ādefectiveā as if he was a product. He revealed why he was a massive sweet tooth as the lollipops helped him to continue living.
āAnd thatās whyā¦ we should break up,ā he said finally. āIām just going to cause you trouble if I continue to be with you.ā
You were speechless. It was so much to take in. He had finally told you about his background, but now he was suggesting that you two should break up. You didnāt know what to say, but all you wanted to do in that moment was to touch him.
āSo pleaseāā he began.
You pulled him in, letting his chin rest on your shoulder as your other hand held his head gently. It was getting hard to breathe as tears streamed down your face. Ramuda was frozen, his eyes showing nothing but perplexity.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that all on your own," you whispered. āIām sorry if I wasnāt too attentive or if I wasnāt there for you.ā
Ramuda chuckled with some sort of annoyance.
āItās not your fault, (Y/N). You were always there for me; I just never made those feelings known. But we need to end things now. You can never truly be happy with me for who I am and what I will have to deal with in the future. Things will get too complicated and not only will it hurt you but me as well.ā
Even when he was saying all of that, his arms couldnāt help but hug you back. He couldnāt stop himself from shedding a few tears. Why did you believe him so easily? Why did you trust him so much? Why do you still care about him even after confessing that his whole character was fake?
And as if you were reading his mind, you replied, āI donāt want to end things with you. I donāt care about who you were, I just care about who you are right nowā¦ evenā¦ even if itās a lie. I donāt care. I know how kind and passionate you are. We can easily overcome these obstacles, can we not?"
Ramuda was silent, pulling away from your embrace. He shook his head and looked at you sadly.
ā(Y/N), Iām going to let you go, and so should you. This is my final decision.ā
"Ramuda!"
He smirked. āIām not going to lie though, I really do love you, and it sucks because Iām going to keep loving you.ā
"Thenā"
He shook his head, interrupting you. āBut we canāt keep doing this. I canāt risk you getting involved and I canāt keep you from being in a better relationship. You canāt be happy with me. So, go find yourself a better man; someone that will always make you feel safe and happyā¦ like Ichiro or something.ā
Before you started dating Ramuda, you were close friends with Ichiro. This was during The Dirty Dawg days where the leaders of each division were grouped together. Your friendship with Ichiro was genuine and he was so lovely towards you. You would always laugh with him and shared each otherās stories. People often caught you together by the lake watching the sunset.
Ramuda always felt guilty that he robbed you off a beautiful relationship with Ichiro. But despite knowing your mutual feelings, he still shoved his way through the bubble you and Ichiro had together. He did all he can to pop that little bubble of yours, heād butt into your conversations whenever he got the chance. He didnāt care whether you liked Ichiro or if Ichiro liked you back, he just wanted you to be his. He liked you too after all! And eventually, with all his attempts of breaking you two up, he succeeded.
āWhat?! Why are you saying that?!ā you cried. "Why would you tell me to go find another lover when all I want is you?! My feelings for Ichiro are in the past now! I don't want him, I just want YOU. Why is this so difficult to understand that I don't care about who you are?!"
ā(Y/N), stop!ā he shouted. āIām not going to change my mind!ā
He was crying. He was crying as much as you now.
āIf I didnāt get in between you two, you wouldāve been in a happier relationship. You wouldnāt need to worry about me or the troubles I will cause. You wouldnāt need to worry about where he is or what heās doing unlike me! Heās genuine and heās real. Heās probably everything youāve been looking for in me!ā he said as he choked on his words. āIām sorry for doing that to you two. I shouldāve ignored you back then so you wouldnāt need to hear me say all this stuff now.ā
The tears in your eyes wouldn't stop flowing, but you were also getting fed up with him. You just wanted to reason with him. You didnāt want to end things like this, not now and not ever.
āI said I donāt care!ā you yelled. āRamuda, I just want to be with you! I will only ever love you!ā
Ramuda was stunned at your words, but he laughed even with the tears gushing down his face. He cupped your face with both of his hands and kissed you softly ā his last kiss to you.
āAh, (Y/N), Iām really going to miss you,ā he croaked. āIā¦ I really am going to m-miss youā¦ā
"Ramuda, please..."
"It's time for you to forget me, okay?"
How did such a beautiful day turn into something so sad? You just wanted to give him your matching keychainsā¦
He whipped out some sort of device ā a hypnosis mic? ā and sang something. There was no time to react as everything became a blur. You tried calling out his name once again, but the last image you had of him was of him smiling at you with the glassiest eyes you have ever seen.
A few months from now...
There would be times you would feel some sense of melancholy in the air. That feeling would happen whenever you'd enter a particular shop or area, but you never knew why you felt that way.
Ramuda lived his life as usual. Before he took you home, he erased everything of his existence from your phone, computer, and physical photo albums ā anything he could get his hands on. It pained him that he had to do this, but he wanted you to start anew. He hoped that you were still able to fall in love with Ichiro again even if it will hurt him.
"And done!" said Ramuda, finishing off his sketches. "It's perfect. The ladies would love this collection~!"
"Oh, youāre finally done?ā Dice said as he munched on his lunch Gentarou paid for. āThat was fast.ā
Ramuda giggled. He was proud of himself for completing such a task. He couldn't wait to see how the final product will turn out.
"Oh, by the way," he started. "We're going to participate in the Division Rap Battle next week, so be ready~!"
You were convinced by your co-workers to watch the DRB with them after work, so you decided to clean your photo storage. You liked taking pictures whenever youād attend concerts after all!
As you were going through all your photos, you stumbled upon a photo you didnāt remember taking. It was a photo of two bunny plushies sitting on a bench in front of a beautiful amber sunset; a pink and white bunny who looked like they were holding hands.
"I didn't know I had plushies like that..." you said slowly.
You got up and looked around your room for those plushies. As a result, you made a huge mess, but you were just happy you found one of them. It was the pink bunny with a white bow. However, you couldnāt find the white bunny anywhere, and you searched everywhere for it.
"Weird," you commented, looking at the pink bunny. "When did I buy this again?"
It was fluffy and soft, and the feeling of melancholy washed over you once again. You still didnāt understand why you keep getting that feeling. You shrugged it off like you always did.
Attaching the pink bunny keychain to your bag, you left the house to meet up with your co-workers to get to the stadium.
The stadium was packed. The girls around you were squealing over a particular figure, Ramuda Amemura, who was currently rapping against Matenro.
You havenāt seen Ramuda in a while despite living in the same city. You were good friends with him when The Dirty Dawg was still around, but after they disbanded, you two never kept in touch. He slowly became distant with you which kind of annoyed you because you had heard from the others how he still kept in touch with Ichiro and Samatoki.
You would see him a lot on social media though. He was super popular with the girls, and he had the best fashion sense that was to your taste. You even purchased some of his pieces online.
He was now active in Fling Posse and his raps were as brilliant as they were before. He seemed more energetic too.
You watched him from the seats attentively as the girls around you cheered him on. But you were extremely confused because as Fling Posse lost against Matenro and was ushered to leave the stage, you spotted it ā the white bunny keychain, the same one in the picture that matched your pink bunny keychain you currently had hung on your bag. Ramuda had the bunny attached to his hoodie.
And yet you still didnāt understand why this sense of melancholy came back to you, tugging on your heart strings even more than ever. Even when your eyes locked with Ramudaās for just a second, even when your eyes began to water, you still didnāt understand why you were feeling this way.
For some reason, you just wanted to chase after him and hold him tight, but all you could really do was watch him smile at the crowd and walk away.
