誕生日おめでとうだ〜〜ひなたくんゆうたくん〜〜おめでとうだ〜〜〜〜

[azurepop-blog1]

"Happy birthday, my dearest Yuta-kun☆ It's your onii-chan~!"

          “ Happy Birthday, Aniki, ” He hummed in response. Most days, he’d make a remark on his brother’s energy or scold him for somthing ( in this case, surprising Yuta without warning! ) but today was different. The younger twin found himself able to do such things, also unable to hide a growing smile on his face. It was going to be a good day for them, wasn’t it? 

     “ You seem happy, don’t you~? I am too, ” Yuta continued, before motioning to Hinata to wait for a moment before fumbling around the stuff around him before finding what he was looking for. A box, messily wrapped-he admittedly wasn’t very good at it, usually Hinata helped him wrap gifts-in a bright shiny pink paper, and was laced together with a blue bow. It wasn’t enough, it wouldn’t ever be enough, to convey how much he loved and cared about his older brother. But Yuta tried his hardest to at least find a somewhat suitable gift for him. 

     “ This is for you, Aniki! What? Why’re you giving me a weird look like that? Listen, I know it’s wrapped bad and all but…accidents happen, y’know. Don’t laugh! ”

     Shinobu made sure to get up as early as possible– rather, he stayed up due to the excitement bubbling in his chest. His heart thumps at a steady rate, but it only continues to get faster and faster as he swings into the classroom of 1-B. Thankfully, no one else is here yet since he personally asked his teacher to open the gates earlier than usual. It’s a special day, after all. Huffing slightly from the amount of things he has carried for the sake of today, he relieves the burden by setting his backpack down on his desk. 

      With additional bags filled to the brim with everything in his hands, he places it on a neighboring desk– tipping it over to dump the contents out. It took him a while to come up with a decent enough gift for his precious friend– well, he has ended up buying several little things. So it actually became more of a humongous gift– of course, he also has made sure to put in some sort of ninja training gear in anticipation for Yuta to be well on his way toward the path of the ninja as well.

       Cheeks warm considerably, and he begins to hum at the thought of the look on Yuta’s face when he sees this! Due the difficulties going on with his own unit, and his own insecurities… Shinobu has been admittingly going to bother Yuta most of the time as opposed to remaining by himself. He even went through the trouble of giving him cookies– they were spicy and he felt like his mouth was on fire, but in a way he could feel Yuta’s feelings warming his body.

        It makes his heart flutter.

        The ninja has other things to worry about aside these complicated feelings, but it somehow trailed back to this sort of concept– he compiled all of the things that could possibly convey his feelings toward Yuta on his birthday, but he can’t help but feel like it is still not yet enough.

        He arranges the mountain of gifts for Yuta on the mentioned boy’s desk, a smile forming on his face as he adorns it with colorfully wrapped presents. He takes out his phone, hesitant as he pushes the buttons to call him. After the conversation over winter break, Shinobu has been trying to put more effort in calling Yuta– and it has gotten way easier, especially since they seem to be getting close and closer by the day.

        It makes him happy.

        Despite being unsure if Yuta has actually picked up his cellphone, Shinobu begins to exclaim excitedly.

         “Yuta-kun! Yours truly wishes Yuta-kun and Hinata-kun a happy birthday! Um, it may be quite early still, but… this ninja would be honored if Yuta-kun came to class early today~♪” Immediately growing hot and embarrassed from his request, he hangs up. Shinobu lets out a deep breath after ending the call, and retreats back to his own seat. Yuta-kun might take a while, so Shinobu takes the time to practice what he will say to Yuta!

             “Mmm… this ninja is very grateful that Yuta-kun was born. Thank you for being born and being friends with this…” He shakes his head, not wanting to sound childish at a time like this, “thank you for being born and letting us have a chance to meet. I’m so grateful that we were able to overcome our shyness and talk to each other..?”

               His heart will burst if he says anymore– the mere thought of saying these sort of things to him out-loud utterly embarrasses Shinobu, and he helplessly covers his face with his hands at the thought.

@azurepop ! my prince char-mint!

“Are you crying?”

basic angst starters. x

         Immediately, Yuta tried to rub away his own tears before facing the other. It was frustrating, all of it. The twin had little confidence in himself, and it heavily weighed down on him. Today was one of those days where this emotion couldn’t be contained-having just letting tears loose in his frustration, still in his classroom. He’d assumed everyone else had left, but it seemed he had been wrong.

    He didn’t want Shinobu to see this. But it was too late, huh? The twin faced the other, throwing on a smile. It wasn’t fake-no-seeing the other already made him feel much better. His problems from moments ago have been lifted, although temporarily, so he silently thanked Shinobu for that. He rubbed the back of his head, wondering what a suitable response would be.

    “ Hmm, I’ve been caught, it seems? But don’t worry, I’m fine~ ” Yuta replied, hoping that would be enough to keep the other from further questioning. “ It was not a big deal at all! But Shinobu-kun, why are you still here…? ”

“When’s the last time you slept?”

basic angst starters. x 

         The younger twin froze at the question. He’d been caught, huh? Yuta had been trying his hardest to cover up his exhaustion-especially in front of his friend. The last thing he wanted was to worry Shinobu, or anybody really. An upcoming live left him more anxious than usual, knowing that it was a very important one that left little room for mistake.

    Not able to afford holding 2wink back, Yuta had been slipping in extra practice at night, and as far as he knew Hinata was unaware. There was also a part of him that hoped that the extra practice would help him stand out a bit more, and not be known as ‘the second twin’ as he would sometimes be called. Either way, nervousness kept his mind racing and made it progressively more difficult to sleep-so Yuta took advantage of it.

    It wasn’t until he got to school that the tiredness would settle in, but he figured it wouldn’t be a big deal and that this would all be normal again after this live is over. But what Yuta wasn’t expecting was for somebody to be observant enough to notice, and to his dismay it had been Shinobu.

    “ Hmm~? What do you mean, Shinobu-kun…? ” Yuta asked-a poor cover up. A smile of reassurance made it’s way on his face. The less Shinobu worried, the better, right? It was much better seeing his friend excitable and happy. “ Silly question, aha…~ ♪ Anyways–! Back to the story you were telling me, what did the ninja do next? ”

because sometimes what’s left to the imagination is much more terrifying.

“Are you feeling alright? You don’t look it.” “I just heard something… Something bad…” “Why didn’t you tell me about this?!” “What’s all this blood?!” “Will you tell me what the fuck is going on?” “Don’t give me that look! It wasn’t my fault!” “You should probably sit down for this.” “Please tell me you forgive me!” “I can’t live without you!” “Oh god, It was a mistake coming here… I’m sure of it.” “What the hell happened to you?!” “Where have you been?! I’ve been waiting for hours!” “You promised you wouldn’t do this anymore!” “I knew not to trust you!” “What’s that in your bag…? Is that–? Tell me it’s not!” “Is this what a dislocated shoulder feels like?!” “How could you do this to me?!” “Wake up! Wake up!!! You’re having a nightmare!” “I feel weird… what was in that drink…?” “I don’t want to leave you, but you’re not really giving me another option.” “Please… you’re scaring me…” “Ssh, I heard something again. How aren’t you hearing it? It was loud… and getting closer.” “Are you okay in there? You’ve been so quiet.” “I came as soon as I could! Did he/she get to you already?” “I don’t know whether I want to do this. I don’t know whether I CAN do this.” “Do you remember anything?” “You have to tell me who did this to you!” “No, no, I’m not alright. I’m definitely not alright.” “What’s your fucking problem?!” “Are you crying?” “You’re freaking me out! Please calm down!” “I’m leaving. And I’m not intending to come back.” “You… are dying?” “Did you drink the whole bottle while tripping? Seriously?” “Do you have a deathwish or something? Jesus!” “Ever been held at gunpoint? Want to know what it feels like?” “Stop screaming! Shh, calm down! You have to keep quiet!” “When’s the last time you slept?”.

          Fear stricken as his eyes scanned over the other, who was clearly hurt, Yuta was more than worried. He never imagined that he’d have to witness Shinobu hurt and in pain, and the very sight of it made him panic. The ninja had become very important to him over the course of time, and the prince felt guilt welling up inside of him-knowing very well of the situation. It only pained him more to see the other trying to conceal it, not looking him in the eyes and throwing out an obvious lie. The twin would never forget his fear of cats, however he knew this was too much to be caused by such. Yuta was a naive fool, but wouldn’t be persuaded by that. He knew what this was, and he hated that it was his fault.

     He wanted the other to face him so badly, but didn’t force it-especially since Yuta was concerned about his condition above all else. The prince had to be careful with what he said, knowing Shinobu’s pride was likely a big factor of why he was being so secretive about it. It was difficult though, because Yuta was still in a state of panic of seeing his precious ninja in pain. Real, physical pain. Caused by Shinobu...protecting him. Yuta’s selfishness that allowed him to accept this all was the reason this happened. Placing the ninja in danger once more. Perhaps the prince should tell Shinobu it isn’t a good idea to be his ninja ( it was painful to even think about ). 

     “ Do you think I believe that? ” Yuta finally spoke up once more, trying to catch the other’s gaze. He tried his hardest to display reassurance, but was unsure if his worry was more evident. “ You shouldn’t say that. You may be a ninja-but that doesn’t change the fact that I care, okay? You’re important to me. ”

Yuta-kun, have I ever told you that I really like your voice? It is very pleasing to hear~♪ I'm sure you get a lot of fans with this.

          The twin’s face immediately heated up at this comment. Yuta was always like this when receiving such compliments from the other-always so embarrassed for whatever reason ( it was frustrating ). But this time there was an additional feeling added to it that almost made him tear up on the spot. Most comments regarding his voice were always comparing him to Hinata in whichever way. Sometimes it’d be how they sounded good together, or how the slight differences in their pitches combined. Which he was thankful that they meshed well-however, there was never praise on his voice for what it was on it’s own. He wanted so badly ( selfish-isn’t it? ) for his voice to be known as great on it’s own.

     A smile surfaced, the initial rush of embarrassment and joy relieved. Yuta was truly happy to hear this from Shinobu, whom he cared much for. He was still visibly flustered, although able to contain the rest of his embarrassment. Above all else, Yuta was satisfied. 

     “ Really, Shinobu-kun? Thank you~ ♪ Hmm, did you know I find your voice the cutest? ”

[azurepop-blog1]

So Yuta-kun and the rest went to a café the other day? Was it fun?

          A brief shrug and nod was granted in response to the question. The boy couldn’t hide his smile, remembering the events from the other day. However there had been a downside.

     “ Of course. But, we missed you, though~♪ You’re coming next time-right? ”

[azurepop-blog1]

Yuta-kun! It's almost the New Year! You and Hinata-kun aren't busy, yes? If not, perhaps we can go to the shrine together for hatsumōde!

          “ Good idea! ” Yuta quickly nodded, without giving the proposition a second thought. He hadn’t even asked Hinata, although he probably wouldn’t have too. He’d be just as eager to do so-and the younger twin knew that. In all honesty, Yuta wanted a chance to hang out more with his friend, and he had no plan for the New Year. He and Hinata usually spent it on their own. 

     “ I-er-we would love to come along~♪ Aniki will be excited, aha… ”

            Normally, Sora goes home alongside Natsume and Tsumugi, the elder teens making sure he gets home safely ( Sora is a responsible boy, but with how unpredictable he can be, getting home at a reasonable time may be difficult ). Rarely does he ever stay at school so late, however he had dropped something, the item’s color drowned out by the rainbow of attending such a lively school. 

    ❝ Mmn… Sora lost something… ❞ comes his quiet response, the boy seemingly lost in thought. He gathers himself soon enough, blinking at the taller before giving a cheerful smile. “HoHo~ ♪ Sorry! Sora should be saying ‘hello’ first instead of talking! When you see people, you greet them, ‘kay~? Hi, um~ Is it Yuta-chan~? Sora thinks so~ His color is different than Hina-chan’s, and since it’s so quiet, Sora can see it easily~ Hi, Yuta-chan, Sora’s looking for his lost thing~ ♪”

         “ You lost something? ” Ah. That made sense, now that he observed a bit more closely. His classmate seemed very troubled. Yuta personally wanted to make his way home-but he didn’t want to leave Sora wandering in search of, uh, whatever it was that he was looking for. It might take some time if he sought it out on his own. Plus the twin didn’t want to bear the guilt on his shoulders of having left this situation unsolved.

    “ Hmm…uh, yes, that’s me. Hello, ” Yuta said in response, a bit overwhelmed with everything the other had said, and how much energy was thrown into it. Despite being in the same class, the two haven’t spoken much prior. He was, however, quite thankful that Sora was able to distinguish him from Hinata straight away though-not many were able too. A sigh escaped as Yuta tilted his head in question. “ What are you looking for? It’s probably not a good idea to hang around the school for much longer, so I…will help, if you want. ”

[azurepop-blog1]

It's really cold outside today! Um... Yuta-kun, can we hold hands?

         The question almost made Yuta freeze in his tracks. Truthfully-it was terribly freezing, but he felt as if he could burst into flames. The twin almost yelled ‘no!’ out of panic, but thankfully he was too choked up to do so at first.

    After gathering his composure, Yuta casts a glance at Shinobu’s hand. Oh god-oh god-why was this so troubling? Holding hands wasn’t a particularly embarrassing or awkward task usually so why was it the exact opposite with Shinobu? He took in a sharp breath before gently lacing their hands together. A bold move.

     A curious look was granted to Shinobu, Yuta struggling to hide his embarrassment in order to keep a cool, calm face. “ Of course…I-is this better? ”

      His savior was the prince himself– on the note of seeking to repay a debt, Shinobu ends up making his primary goal to shadow and always protect Prince Yuta. Frankly, he’s proud that he managed to evade the guards and infiltrate the palace with ease. It worries him a little, though, maybe the royal twins ought to tighten security. A ninja far stronger than him– even a hired assassin– can steadily enter the castle grounds with ease. Knowing this, Shinobu strengthens his resolve to protect the prince.

       However, it seems like he really is still an amateur after all, and it’s a shocker that he even managed to last this long without being noticed. Unfortunately for him, he’s been discovered.

         “Y-You did, huh~? This ninja seems to have a far way to go… uuu…” He squeaks back in return, cheeks burning with embarrassment as beads of sweat trickle down his face.  Really, he has no idea what to do now– he is sure to be hated, right? Maybe suspected as an assassin… 

        Holding his breath, he brings his head down to the ground and bows. “I apologize, Prince Yuta! Yours truly was just thinking on how to repay the debt, and… this is the only way I could think of.”

          Truly, it was a surprise to see Shinobu, that ninja that Yuta had met recently. It wasn’t a bad surprise though-he was very drawn towards the ninja for whatever reason. The ninja had him very curious, and although Yuta should watch out for threats he was compelled to trust him. Many thought it was naive and foolish how trusting he often was, but the prince payed little mind. 

     His grip was released, feeling pink taint his own cheeks as Yuta shied away from his own action. He, however, still wore a mischievous-victorious-grin. The twin hoped the other had no intention to flee, because this confusion had to be resolved. The other’s embarrassed face only served to make it harder for Yuta to keep his own ground, too. This was a troubling situation. 

     “ Hm~? Repay the debt? ” Ah, it all made sense now. Yuta hadn’t forgotten helping the other out, although to him it wasn’t all that much. But-he did understand some of ninjas, and sometimes they were drawn towards those who help them. Fortunate for Yuta, right? To have Shinobu chase after him...? Ah, he should probably reassure the other that it was alright, not to worry about it, but the selfish side of him wanted the attention of the ninja. 

     “ Ahh, I see~I see, ” Yuta said, resting a hand on his own chin. “ But, hmm...I think you forgot to let me know...? It’s dangerous to follow a prince without prior consent like this, y’know? ”

          “ Where is it... ” Yuta rummaged around the room, hoping to seek out the missing flute that he and his brother often used. The twin hoped to find the misplaced instrument before the others of the light music club were aware, and honestly he was unsure of how it was lost in the first place. 

    “ O-Oh! Sakuma-senpai! ” He blurted when he saw his senior, trying his hardest to hide his concerns ( and very much failing ), giving Rei a smile. A wave was offered. “ I wasn’t expecting to see you here...! ”

     His search was postponed, really not wanting Rei to know of his irresponsible actions. Stuff like this is what the younger scolded his brother for, after all! But perhaps his senior’s help would help find it in advance...

[azurepop-blog1]

          @goldsei LIKED for a STARTER !!

          Yuta knew somebody was there. They’ve been there for awhile, since he had left the town-it seemed. Honestly, so bothersome. He wasn’t too concerned about danger, his pursuer has had many chances to strike but it had yet to happen. The twin had to assume whoever it was wasn’t hostile. But that wasn’t the problem here. He was being tailed, regardless of motive, by somebody who was attempting to hide their presence. He wasn’t exactly sure whom, but Yuta intended to find out. 

     Whoever it was, they weren’t doing a very good job concealing themselves from him. Yuta figured it wouldn’t be very difficult to find out who it was, all it would take is a little bit of steady observation. He kept his senses strongly alert as he moved. 

     After a little longer, Yuta realized that his pursuer was to the side of him. Subtle movements inched him that direction, hoping that they wouldn’t notice he was slipping closer to them. 

     Ah. 

     It was in this moment that the prince realized who it was, gently-yet swiftly-reaching out and grabbing hold of his arm. He grinned, although pleasantly surprised, when he saw Shinobu. “ Aha~ ♪ I caught you! ”
