Unbothered Kings

Tohma: 

You open the door without knocking. Big mistake. “I see,” Tohma says calmly. “I still have much to teach you.”  “I-I’m sorry.” You leave immediately.  For a while there’s only silence.  Then, a quiet laugh escapes from the other side.  “Pfft...What an expression.”   

Alan:

You open the door.  And immediately freeze.  Alan looks up.  For a few seconds, the two of you just stare at each other??? Being half-dressed around Vagastrom is nothing new to him.  But the way you’re looking at him (or more like his abs), is making him feel a little flustered too.  “...You gonna keep staring?”  “No! I wasn’t— or I didn’t mean to—”  You cover your face.  “Sorry!” And escape as quickly as possible. 

Ritsu: 

You open the door. “Oh, MC.” Ritsu glances up at you, then down at himself, evaluating the situation.  “It’s common courtesy to knock.”  You turn quickly.  “Y-you’re right. I’m sorry.”  You grab the handle. “Where are you going? I’m not finished.” HUH??? “I must educate you on the laws regarding trespassing.”  OH. Fabric shuffles as he dresses.  “Entering private spaces without warning can lead to many misunderstandings but there’s also legal implications to consider—”  He pauses. "MC." "Y-Yes?" "Please look at me when I'm talking to you." He waits for you to turn around to continue. "As I was saying..." He doesn’t let you leave till he’s finished. 

Haru:

You open the door. He flinches in surprise. But immediately smiles. “You’re here early.” “S-Sorry.” ... “Gahaha! What’s that look on your face? You gonna watch me change too?”

Visible Blush Damage

Kaito: 

You open the door. “KYAAA!” Before you could process what's happened, Kaito put on his clothes with lightning speed.   “D-Did you see anything? “N-No?”  “Good." He scratches his neck. "J-Just so you know, my bodyisn’t in the best shape right now.”  "...I didn't see anything."

Lucas:

You open the door. “M-MC.”  "Sorry!" You turn around quickly. He also turns away, covering himself.   The tips of his ears are red. “W-What can I help you with?” 

Rui: 

You open the door. He’s genuinely flustered.  “Wait! Wait! Wait! You can’t see me right now! I haven’t worked on my beach body yet!”  "Sorry?" Afterwards... He keeps casually bringing up old surfing photos. "That one was last year." "Don't I look so cool in this one!" "This angle's bad but you get the idea."

Zenji:

You open the door. “Ah— Girl.” He covers himself shyly. Blushing a deep red. “I see you’ve come to see art. But I am not a gallery.”  lol.

Lyca:

You open the door and enter without looking.  “What are you doing here?”  When you see him, you gasp.  “S-Sorry!”  “Whatever. It’s not a big deal." Thankfully, it seems he didn’t take it too seriously.  But afterwards, when he walks out, he’s bright red. His ears tucked back.  “...Let’s go.” 

Mio:

You swing the door open. “Oh.” “Oh.”  Silence.  “I can tell you’re a craftsman.”  Wait. Did you just say that out loud? Mio’s eyes widen. His cheeks blush.  “Thanks?”  You leave immediately.

Reverse Uno

Haku: 

The door opens. You take one step in and you hear a soft awkward laugh. “Haha. Just wait outside. I'll be done soon." Your eyes widen.  “Oh! Sorry!”  You shut the door fast.  Silence. “So...did you enjoy the view?”  “I didn’t see anything.”  You can’t see it, but you know he’s smirking. “Mm. Sure you didn’t”  “Haku…” 

Leo: 

You don’t even have a chance to react.  “Wow.” You freeze.  “I didn’t know the honor roll was such a perv.”  Your soul leaves your body.  “I–I didn’t mean to!”  Leo smirks, completely unbothered.  “You just walked right in. Didn’t even hesitate.” “I thought no one was in here.”  “Mmhm.”  “I swear!”  “Are you dragging this conversation out just to get a few more peeps in?”  You turn and leave with a grunt.  He doesn’t let it go for the rest of the day.  “You knew I was changing in there, didn’t you?” 

Sho:

You swing the door open without thinking. Half-naked Sho blinks at you. Frozen. “Oh– Sorry!”  You flip around and exit immediately.  For a moment there’s only silence.  Then the door opens.  “Senpai.”  You freeze.  Sho leans against the doorframe casually, a few of his buttons left undone. “If you wanted to see me naked, you could’ve just asked.” 

Since You're Here...

Jin: 

You open the door. It’s a mistake you realize immediately. “Don’t you know how to knock?”  “S-Sorry.”  You turn to leave when— “Stop.” You slowly glance back.  Jin takes a seat on his couch, half-dressed, looking amused.  “What are you doing servant? Come here.”  “I—no, I really should–”  “Help me change.”  Your brain stalls.  His lips curl into a smirk.   “That’s why you’re here, isn’t it?” 

Jiro:

You open the door.  “Hello.”  You gasp.  “S-Sorry. I didn't see you there.” He glances down at himself. "...I don't really mind." He looks at his shirt.  He walks over to you. “Could you help me with these buttons?” 

Ed:

You open the door.  He looks at you like he expected you to be there. “S-Sorry.”  You turn to leave but– “Now, now. Don’t be in such a rush.” He purposefully slips the shirt off his shoulders, showing off his pale skin.  “Help this old man with his clothes, will you?"

Elias: 

You open the door.  You freeze. “Inspector...Are you here for a performance?”  “S-Sorry.” “Oh, I really don’t mind if you stay.”  “N-No thank you.”  He chuckles. “Well…that’s a shame.” 

Jo:

You walk in.  You see what you see.  And immediately cover your eyes.  “I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were changing in here.”  Jo simply chuckles.  “Don’t worry. Come. You can change here too.”  "What? I couldn't possibly..." They transform into the women form.  “Does this help?”  You blush even harder.  “...No. It doesn’t.”

No Escape

Taiga:

You open the door.  “Brave of you,” Taiga says lazily, “to come in without warning.” Your brain blanks.  “I’m sorry. I’ll leave.”  You turn. Open the door.  But he shuts it just as quickly.  You look back to find he's already behind you.  “...Taiga.”  With his hands pressed against the door, he leans in closer.  “You can’t just come in and leave whenever you want. This is my territory.”  Instinctively you step back but there’s nowhere left to go.  “Come on,” his voice drags, “Entertain me, kitty-cat.”  

Towa:

You open the door. His face lights up.  “Towa?!”  “Dandelion~”  “S-Sorry. I didn’t mean to walk in.”  You turn to leave.  “Dandelion!”  You look back to see he’s already lunging at you. You escape out of the room just in time, but you hear rapid footsteps from behind.  He laughs, chasing you with no shirt on and just underwear.  “Why are you running?”  “BECAUSE YOU’RE CHASING ME!” Despite the head-start, he catches up easily.  He hugs you from behind, twirling you around.  “Got you!”  “TOWA!”  

Shion:

You open the door. Shion stands menacingly in the middle of the room.  “S-Sorry.”  You try to leave but– “Vepar.”  You switch places with the cardboard box right next to him.  “Shion–” “You barged in and try to leave? How irresponsible..”  He pulls you closer by the wrist. “I like that look on your face. Show me more of it.” 

Permanent Memory

Subaru: 

The moment the door opens, something moves.  Fast.  You blink.  Was it a mouse? A cockroach? “Subaru? Are you in here?”   You scan the room for the source of the sound.  Finally you look down at the corner. Beneath a desk. Subaru crouching. He covers his chest with the shirt.  "I'm sorry!" he blurts. "I should've put a sign! Or locked the doors! Or-" “Don’t apologize, I’m the one who barged in!" ... And for the rest of the day, Subaru doesn’t stop apologizing. "I'm sorry you had to see that." “I hope your eyes are ok.” 

Yuri:

You open the door. He freezes. Reddens. And nearly collapses.   When you try to help him, he gets even redder.  “You insolent, indecent worm. Leave at once!”  ... Every time your eyes meet after that, he looks away quickly, immediately red. 

Ren: 

“S-S-S-Senpai???”  “S-Sorry. Haru said that–” Before you can utter another word— “GET OUT!”  He pushes you out himself and slams the door.  … He’s in a terrible mood for the rest of the day.

Romeo:

❄️—————————————————❄️

Jin Kamurai:

Jin doesn’t even look at you.

“Handle it,” he says, like it’s obvious.

You don’t move.

“…No.”

Silence.

Slowly—

he turns.

“…What did you just say?”

“I said no.”

Jin steps closer.

“You don’t get to refuse orders.”

You meet his gaze evenly.

“You don’t get to give bad ones.”

“…Explain,” he says, voice lower now.

You gesture toward the mission site.

“You’re approaching it head-on.”

“And?”

“It’s a trap.”

Jin scoffs. “I’ve handled worse.”

“Not like this.”

He studies you.

You don’t back down.

“…So what,” he mutters, “you’ve got a better plan?”

You nod.

“Already implemented it.”

He freezes.

“…What?”

You point behind him.

There’s a faint click.

Jin turns—

and sees the anomaly already contained.

Silence.

Then he looks back at you.

“…When did you—”

“While you were talking.”

Jin stares.

Then—

he huffs a laugh.

“…Tch. Fine.”

A pause.

“…Next time, warn me.”

You shrug.

“Next time, think faster.”

⛓️ —————————————————⛓️

Leo Kurosagi:

Leo is already recording.

“Alright, Honor Roll,” he says lazily, camera angled just right, “try not to die. It ruins the footage.”

You don’t even look at him.

“Turn it off.”

“…What?”

“Turn. It. Off.”

He scoffs. “You’re not the director here.”

You finally glance over.

“…You’re about to miss the actual story.”

That gets his attention.

“…Oh?”

You point ahead, where the anomaly flickers unnaturally.

“It’s not reacting to movement,” you say calmly. “It’s reacting to attention.”

Leo pauses.

“…Explain.”

“You’ve been filming it this whole time.”

Silence.

Then—

he slowly lowers his phone.

The anomaly stops moving.

Leo’s eyes widen—just slightly.

“…Huh.”

You start walking past him.

“Next time,” you add, “try thinking before you chase content.”

He watches you go.

Then, quietly—

“…That would’ve gone viral.”

But he’s smiling.

🎰 —————————————————🎰

Taiga Hoshibami:

Taiga’s already aiming his gun.

“Move,” he mutters. “I’m bored.”

You don’t move.

“Shoot, and we die.”

He tilts his head.

“…We?”

You point at the walls.

“Reflective surface. Ricochet. You hit it, it multiplies.”

Taiga glances around.

Then smirks.

“…You’re guessing.”

“I’m not.”

The anomaly shifts.

Taiga’s finger tightens on the trigger—

You grab his wrist.

“Don’t.”

Silence.

Taiga looks at you.

Really looks this time.

“…Kitten.”

“…What.”

“You’re interesting.”

You let go.

“Yeah. I know.”

He lowers the gun.

“…So what’s the move, genius?”

You turn, already walking ahead.

“Starve it.”

“…Huh?”

“No stimuli. No reaction. No existence.”

Taiga grins slowly.

“…Heh.”

For once—

he follows you.

🌸 —————————————————🌸

Haku Kusanagi:

Haku watches you the whole time.

That soft, amused smile never leaving.

“…You knew,” he says.

You glance at him.

“Knew what?”

“That the exit was a loop.”

You shrug lightly.

“It was obvious.”

“It wasn’t,” he says gently.

You stop walking.

Turn to him.

“…You figured it out too.”

Haku smiles.

“I suspected.”

“But you waited.”

“I wanted to see what you’d do.”

You hum.

“…And?”

He steps closer.

“…You didn’t panic.”

“Why would I?”

“Most people do.”

You smile faintly.

“I’m not most people.”

Haku studies you.

Then laughs softly.

“…No. You’re not.”

A pause.

“…Princess,” he adds, quieter now, “you’re dangerous.”

You tilt your head.

“…Only if you underestimate me.”

His smile sharpens.

“…I won’t make that mistake again.”

🌙 —————————————————🌙

Edward Hart:

Edward is leaning against the wall.

Watching.

Always watching.

“…You already knew,” he murmurs.

You don’t even turn.

“Yeah.”

“The anomaly wasn’t real.”

“It was a distraction.”

Edward hums.

“…And the real threat?”

You glance up.

“It’s behind you.”

He smiles.

“…Of course it is.”

But he doesn’t turn.

“…Aren’t you going to check?”

“No need.”

“…Confident.”

“I trust your judgment.”

That makes you pause.

You look at him.

“…That’s risky.”

Edward’s smile softens.

“…So is underestimating you.”

A beat.

Then—

“Besides,” he adds lightly, “I was curious how long you’d let me pretend I didn’t notice.”

You blink.

“…You’re annoying.”

“And yet,” he says, amused, “you’re still talking with me.”

💉 —————————————————💉

Yuri Isami:

Yuri is mid-explanation.

“…as you can see, the anomaly’s structure suggests—”

“It’s going to collapse.”

He stops.

“…Excuse me?”

You cross your arms.

“It’s unstable.”

“I am aware of that.”

“No,” you correct, “you’re observing it.”

That stings.

“I am analyzing—”

“You’re overthinking.”

Yuri bristles.

“I do not ‘overthink.’ I refine.”

You step closer.

“It’s feeding off complexity.”

He freezes.

“…What?”

“The more variables you introduce, the stronger it gets.”

Silence.

Yuri looks back at the anomaly.

Then at you.

“…So the solution is…”

You shrug.

“Do less.”

That physically pains him.

“…That is not a solution.”

“It is if you want to survive.”

The anomaly shifts violently.

Yuri hesitates.

For once—

he doesn’t have the answer.

You step forward.

Calm. Simple. Direct.

The anomaly weakens immediately.

Yuri watches, stunned.

“…That’s—”

“Basic,” you say.

He looks at you.

Really looks.

“…You simplified it.”

You nod.

“Try it sometime.”

Yuri exhales sharply.

“…I hate that you’re right.”

“…You’re welcome.”

how did you get in between this two beautiful pyschopaths ? we do not know. it was always the three of you at the crimescene.

it all started when taiga started making you hang around in sinostra more often and making you indirectly late for your plans with shion.

the next thing you knew, shion already made a huge hole on the sinostra's casino ceiling, with a bright smile on his face.

cue romeo yelling at the distruction while taiga grinned like a maniac, caging you on his lap. if you squint hard enough, there is a light vein popping at shion's forehead.

“i believe the honor-student has plans with me now." shion steps forward to take you into his arms but you get pulled back to taiga.

the next thing you know, a gun was pointed at shion's face but THIS MANIAC pressed his forehead against the gold metal.

“okay st—op!” you stand in-between them, pushing taiga's gun away gently while pushing shion behind you.

THEN SHION decided thought it was a MARVELLOUS idea to wrap his hands around your shoulder and waist as you lectured taiga.

yeah— the sinostra's casino was in flames after that with you in-between of it all. (the aftermath is you in the chancellor office, face covered in ashes standing in between taiga and shion, who also covered in ashes)

this was the start of the many incidents you occured with taiga hoshibami and shion genkai.

whenever you are out on an errand, shion sometimes appear next to you, bending over slightly and offering his hand while he brings you over to dionysia to see a new set he was doing.

or maybe, taiga will appear from the corner and snatch you to sinostra so you can sit on his lap while playing poker.

whenever this comes around, you either get tossed in-between them both or you somehow escape the two with the help of another ghoul.

whenever you sneak to the campus store to buy some snacks, taiga (who never steps foot into the campus store) somehow appears outside, waiting for you. thats when, you hear a soft whisper in the shadows, with shion appearing on your left.

and they argued, again.

there were some days where you weren't having it. you snapped at them both and slammed the door at their faces.

but imagine shion and taiga working together by climbing through your bedroom window and giving you the biggest shock of your life when you opened your eyes and they are staring at you.

taiga made his way to sit next to you, laying down and wrapping his arms around your waist while shion leaned forward, towards you while the tip of his fingers brush a strand of hair behind your ear.
