I don't even think I need to explain these 4. They age like fcking fine wine, just in very different ways.
Tohma might grow more like a classic gentleman and hmm, cunning and sly. I just know he'd piss off so many people. The monocle stays, or he switches to some glasses. Uhmm, mhmmmm, delicious.
I can imagine him reaching that age where he no longer needs to raise his voice because somehow every word coming out of his mouth already sounds like a threat. Like he'll smile politely at you while absolutely ruining your entire argument in three sentences. The type of man who walks into a room and everybody suddenly remembers they should probably sit up straight. ๐ญ
Also, imagine the silver streaks. JUST IMAGINE. Not fully gray, just enough to make people feral. The type of man who would be reading a newspaper while drinking tea and look like the final boss of a political conspiracy.
While Alan will be the beekeeper age type, iykyk. Like a sturdy ancient tree, like a brick wall, like a bear. Uhm hmm. Uhmmmm, dayum.
I think Mio and Sho will fall into this same category because they do a lot of labor work, so they likely would grow their bodies out to be more sturdy. Yeah. We have the bear dad squad here.
The thing with Alan is that I don't think he'd even realize he's attractive. That's the dangerous part. Bro would be carrying 50 kilograms of equipment like it's nothing while asking if everyone remembered to eat lunch.
Meanwhile, people are staring ๐๐๐
Mio and Sho belong to that "can absolutely carry their child under one arm and six grocery bags under the other" category.
The sturdy dad build. The practical dad build.
The "I can fix your sink, your roof, your emotional problems, and your tax paperwork" build. ๐๐คค
I can imagine Haku, Jin, and Taiga having that commander DILF energy once they hit that certain age, iykyk ๐
Like Jin as Mr. Kamurai, as the president. Hair slicked back with his suit and tie, and I hope he could regain his charisma at some point. I can imagine some glabellar lines on him ๐คค With age comes wisdom type sht.
He's the type that becomes more attractive because he finally grows into himself.
Imagine him in his late 40s or early 50s. Hair slicked back, perfectly fitted suit. A face that clearly shows he's lived through some sht.
The glabellar lines are there. The smile lines are there too, enough to make him look experienced. Like every wrinkle comes with a story.
There is something insanely attractive about a man who no longer feels the need to prove himself.
Haku as the head priest of the Shinto shrine once he takes the position. Imagine him wearing those hakama and haori, walking around doing his job at the shrine and meeting his guests. Uhmmhmmmmm ๐
He's peaceful. Imagine visiting the shrine and seeing him sweeping the grounds in the morning.
The sunlight, the traditional clothing, the calm smile.
The fact that he remembers everybody's names.
The fact that children immediately trust him.
The fact that old people love talking to him.
The fact that he somehow always knows exactly what to say.
Mr and Mrs Kusanagi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taiga because imagine. I SAID IMAGINE.
Y'all remember what he told Ritsu and Romeo at the end of SS1, right?
The fact that he'd be in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Organized Crime Department, or more specifically, the criminal department.
I can imagine him in his 40s, in his uniform, solving cases, kicking ass, and capturing criminals ๐๐คค
The gray hair. Let's talk about the gray hair.
Not fully gray, just enough. A little bit near the temples. A little bit mixed into the back. Suddenly the man gains +500 aura.
Like excuse me???
Imagine him standing over a crime board looking exhausted because he's been awake for 20 hours trying to solve a case.
The sleeves rolled up. The stare of a man who has seen too much.
OMFG
And then Alan shows up because Tactical Anomaly Special Forces got involved.
Alan and Taiga working together. Alan carrying heavy equipment. Taiga carrying the entire investigation.
I like to imagine Subaru is still elegant, but he has some crow's feet and barcode lines now. It just adds more highlights to his aging beauty. He's aging well.
Honestly, Subaru is the definition of graceful aging.
I don't think he'd ever become rugged or particularly intimidating. Even in his 40s and 50s, he'd still have that elegant, refined appearance. The kind of person who somehow always looks expensive no matter what he's wearing.
You know those people who can wear the most normal outfit imaginable and still somehow look like they're attending a luxury event?
Yeah. That.
The crow's feet around his eyes would honestly make him prettier. Every smile would look warmer. Every laugh would look more genuine.
I also feel like he'd be the type who ages slowly enough that people don't notice until they compare photos from twenty years ago.
Then suddenly everybody is like:
"Holy sht, when did he get even more handsome?"
Zenji.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. OH. OH. OH. OH. OH.
I can imagine all types of things for him.
He still has his long hair and unfortunately for you, oh, he looks way way way way hotter and more attractive the more he ages and the longer he grows his hair. Ayayaya.
The thing about Zenji is that I genuinely think age works in his favor.
Some people peak in their 20s. Zenji looks like the type who starts entering his final form at 40.
The long hair stays. The smile lines deepen. The bunny lines appear. The face gets slightly sharper. The confidence increases.
I can absolutely imagine him growing a subtle goatee too.
Not a huge beard, Just enough to make people stare for a concerning amount of time.
I don't think he'd even change that much. He'd just become a more powerful version of himself. Like a Pokรฉmon evolution.
๐ฅ๐ฅต๐ฅ๐ฅต๐ฅ๐ฅต
Same with Zenji, Jiro also has bunny lines.
Maybe wearing glasses makes them stand out even more. Attractive af now.
Imagine him aging with that mole around his mouth too.
OMFG LET ME FCKING LICK IT!!!! ๐ I'm sorry.
Anyway.
Jiro is one of those people whose attractiveness comes from familiarity. The more years pass, the more comfortable he becomes in his own skin.
The glasses. The smile. The mole. The little facial lines. The relaxed posture.
Everything starts working together. He's just... pleasant, comfortable and reliable.
AND dangerously easy to develop feelings for.
The type of man who remembers exactly how you take your coffee.
The type of man who notices when you're tired.
The type of man who remembers small details from conversations that happened 6 months ago.
Tbh, I can't quite imagine Elias yet.
I think he'd stay younger than his real age, though yeah, his melanin would also fade slightly. The smile lines and glabellar lines would be slightly clearer now.
Uhm hmm.
Elias is weird because I feel like he'd somehow still look young, younger than he should.
The type of man where people keep guessing his age wrong.
Like there's no way you're fifty. What do you mean you're fifty. Explain yourself.
I think his smile lines would become his defining feature. Because Elias smiles a lot. So naturally, age would leave evidence of that.
Holy shit, absolutely cinematic because the older these two get, the hotter they become.
Especially Romeo. I can imagine the crow's feet he has just making his eyes even prettier, and his smile growing even deeper and more seductive than when he was young.
Damn.
In my language, there is this idiom:
"The older the ginger, the spicier it gets; the longer the wine is aged, the richer it becomes."
Yep. That's Romeo. That is EXACTLY Romeo.
Because Romeo is already attractive when he's young.
You know how some people become more charming with age?
The smile lines get deeper. The crow's feet become more visible. The confidence grows. The patience grows. The emotional intelligence grows.
Suddenly, every conversation feels like he's flirting even when he's absolutely not.
The older version of Romeo feels less like a pretty boy and more like a man people accidentally fall in love with.
I also think he'd become calmer. Romeo somehow still has enough charisma to make people forget what they were talking about halfway through a conversation.
I can imagine him laughing more. And every single smile line would make him even more attractive.
Same goes for Jo.
Oh, he's beautiful. He's already beautiful.
The issue is that I think Jo would age in a way that makes him look even more elegant. The type that comes from experience.
Uhm hmhmmmmm ๐๐คค๐
We even have MILF (Mother I Like to Fry Rice For). No because imagine Jojorin twenty years later.
The older Jo gets, the more I think he'd develop that quiet confidence. The kind where he doesn't need attention because attention naturally comes to him.
That combination of beauty and reliability?
And if Romeo and Jo are ever standing next to each other?
I'm sorry. Nobody else in that room matters anymore.
They're stealing all the attention. They're stealing all the aura. They're stealing all the oxygen.
Like, he also does a lot of labor, equal to the amount of time he lazes around watching movies and playing games.
Yeah, he just grows solid in some way.
Ren ages into a dad. And somehow that's exactly what makes him attractive.
The man is built like somebody who can carry furniture by himself. The man is built like somebody who can fix things around the house. The man is built like somebody who can pick up a sleeping child without waking them up.
The fact that he looks like somebody you can always depend on.
I can imagine him getting broader with age too.
The type of man who gets approached and hit on even when people know he has a family already.
BACK THE FUCK AWAY. THE MAN IS TAKEN.
Ren probably wouldn't even notice. Somebody is literally flirting with him.
Ren:
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Sorry, I was thinking about what to cook for dinner."
The type of man that would be too absorbed in taking care of his babies to even care about anything around him.
A bit oblivious. A lot oblivious, actually.
I can imagine him showing people approximately 6 hundred photos of his children. Nobody asked, he's doing it anyway.
The moment he becomes a father, his entire personality becomes:
The posture of somebody who knows exactly where he belongs.
And somehow he still has enough of that youthful face left that people underestimate him.
The younger lawyers look at him and think:
"Oh, he doesn't seem that intimidating."
Then he starts talking.
"...."
Because Ritsu feels like the type who would only get more articulate with age. The years polish him like sharpening a blade.
The type of man who can destroy your entire argument while sounding completely polite ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I can also imagine him growing a beard eventually. Not because he particularly wants one. Because he's tired of people assuming he's younger than he actually is.
Like sir is 48 years old. Has enough legal experience to write textbooks. Has won more cases than you've had birthdays.
And somebody still asks if he's the intern. At that point I'd grow the beard too.
Attorney Ritsu Shinjo ๐คค
No because tell me that doesn't sound expensive.
The older he gets, the more he starts looking like he belongs in one of those paintings where a powerful nobleman stares at you from across the room. And somehow that's hot.
Because I feel like Yuri would look younger for his age but still old enough because ahahaha, he's the academic weapon.
Of course he'd look older because of, well... Academics, yk.
The thing with Yuri is that I don't think physical aging would be the first thing people notice.
The first thing people notice is the academic aura.
The "this man has not slept properly in fifteen years" aura.
The "I accidentally rewrote an entire research paper at 3 AM because I found one sentence unsatisfactory" aura.
The "please stop giving yourself more work" aura๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I can imagine him still looking relatively young than expected.
Stress starts showing up in tiny ways.
Maybe some faint lines around his eyes. Maybe slightly more visible smile lines. Maybe that permanently tired look that every academic eventually unlocks as a special achievement.
But somehow it works.
Because the older Yuri gets, the more he starts looking like one of those professors students accidentally develop a crush on.
You know exactly what I'm talking about.
The professor who walks into the lecture hall carrying 3 books, a laptop, 3 notebooks, and somehow still remembers every student's name.
The professor who starts explaining a topic and suddenly the entire room is silent because everybody is genuinely listening.
The professor whose office hours somehow become life advice sessions.
The professor who looks mildly sleep deprived but also weirdly wise.
That kind of attractive, the dangerous intellectual kind.
I also think age would make Yuri calmer, he is more comfortable with himself.
The type of person who has stopped worrying about whether people understand him. The type who knows exactly who he is.
That confidence is doing half the work already. ๐คค
Now Lyca is weird. Because I genuinely think he'd age ridiculously slowly.
The type of man who reaches forty and somehow still looks thirty. Reaches fifty and somehow still looks forty.
Like excuse me? What is your skincare routine? What ancient forest spirit did you make a deal with? Explain yourself immediately๐ญ
I think he'd be somewhere between Ren and Sho. Like, they all do labor work.
But somehow I don't think Lyca would bulk up the same way. He'd stay lean and solid.
The type of strength that's built through years of physical work rather than training.
The type where you don't realize how strong somebody is until they casually move something that should require 3 people.
I can also imagine him becoming one of those older men who spend a lot of time outdoors. The sun. The wind. The fresh air.
Everything starts coming together.
And unlike Ren's "dad" energy or Sho's "bear" energy, Lyca feels more like... How do I explain this?
The reliable village man energy.
The guy everybody goes to when they need help.
The guy who somehow knows how to fix everything.
The guy who doesn't talk much about what he's done because helping people is just normal to him.
That kind of attractive sneaks up on you.
You're watching him carry heavy equipment and suddenly you're questioning things.
I also think he'd keep that youthful feeling/spirit for a very long time.
Like even when he's older, there's still something energetic about him.
If y'all want him to resemble Neros a little more then sure. You can absolutely imagine him fitting the classic DILF archetype.
๐๐จ๐ฐ๐, ๐๐ก๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐๐
I mean. Do they even age? Can they change their appearance? Or does Ed forever stay the twink he is? Idk.
This category is difficult because I'm not even fully convinced these mfs obey the laws of aging.
Let's start with Ed. Because unlike the other two, I can actually imagine Ed getting older.
And unfortunately. Unfortunately. The man ages like fine wine too. ๐คค
Because Ed already knows he's attractive. The type of person who can walk into a room and immediately attract attention without even trying.
He'd be fully aware of the effect he has on people. That smug little confidence? Still there ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I can imagine him aging into one of those incredibly attractive older men who somehow become more popular with age.
Like how is that fair? How does that even work?
Oh boy. Shion is hard. Really hard.
Because whenever I try to imagine older Shion, my brain immediately starts producing images that look like they belong in a fantasy novel.
I think he'd get sharper. The cheekbones become more defined. The features become more striking. But somehow also more unsettling.
In a good way ๐๐๐
Because no matter how old he gets, I think there would always be something about him that reminds you he's not entirely human.
Or at least not entirely normal.
Imagine a mature gothic merfolk. That's basically where my brain keeps landing. Long hair. Sharp features. Elegant posture.
The kind of person who looks beautiful from a distance and vaguely dangerous up close. The type of beauty that makes you stare. And then immediately question whether staring was a good idea.
Towa. Bro. BRO.
I genuinely cannot imagine Towa aging.
I am trying. I am really trying.
Every time I attempt to picture older Towa, my brain just gives me...
Towa. That's it. Just Towa.
Maybe slightly taller. Maybe slightly different haircut. Maybe......๐ญ
I feel like he would somehow reach age 50 and still look like he reached age 30.
Everybody around him is aging. Everybody around him is developing wrinkles. Everybody around him is becoming more mature.
I don't know if he'd become more handsome.
I don't know if he'd become more distinguished.
I don't know if he'd become more attractive.
The closest thing I can imagine is that he becomes calmer maybe....
For Jiro, Subaru, and Kaito, ( if you wanted to add others you can )
You know how Jiro and Subaru both of moles, right? Especially Jiro. And Kaito has a lot of little freckles on his cute little face?
What if they were paired with an Mc who loves to kiss those features? Every moment and opportunity they have to kiss his moles / freckles will always be taken! Kissing every mole in sight and counting each freckle for every kiss given?
I feel like Kaito would be insecure about his freckles so maybe this would make him proud that he has them, Jiro not thinking about them whatsoever, and I imagine Subaru has been complemented on that more next to his eye before!
Yeah this is adorable ๐ฅน for research purposes I had to be like "okay pretty boy let's see you up close ๐ง๐" on every ghoul to see if anyone else has them (โ โงโ โฝโ โฆโ ) Shion should count too, right? And I know what Ed's marks are but.. I'll indulge myself ๐คซ
If I missed any of them having moles do let me know maybe my inspection wasn't enough! Anywaysss
he doesn't even seem to know what you're doing at first?
maybe you just feel like kissing that spot, no big deal right?
but he's observant and can't help but notice how frequently you've been doing this
so eventually he does ask what your deal is
when you tell him it's the mole on his chin you're kissing he's just like "oh, right. Why are you doing that?"
like he doesn't even acknowledge having it but to be fair, he does need to wear a mask so can't blame him
and now you have to explain to him how pretty you find it and how much you like it
and he doesn't really understand of course. Will literally start explaining to you what moles are in detail
but that's fine, he doesn't stop you from kissing it either you can keep going!
in fact he learns to make sure not to forget to lower the mask more so that the mole is visible whenever you see him
there's just some kind of warmth blooming im his chest when you giggle while kissing it and he finds himself.. craving more
but you know what would be even better? Kissing his scars, imagine that.. but I feel like I need to end it here otherwise this will get nsfw (โ โงโ โฝโ โฆโ )
why are you even putting your lips on his face? it makes him shiver
what.are.you.doing. explain.now
he doesn't look like he understands your sentiment honestly..
when you praise how pretty his moles are and how it really adds to his look he straight up laughs he might just carve them out and gift you on your birthday
how.. thoughtful and romantic, right?
anyways. stop doing that.
actually don't. actually, yes... actually...
can't make up his mind cause this feels so foreign to him, what is that exactly
affection? that sounds disgusting who came up with that what's the purpose even
he says that but you notice how he eventually stops pushing you away
he still grumbles of course but deep down it makes his chest feel so tight it's starting to get addictive
but don't you dare to bring his attention to it, you never know what might happen with this one. Literally!
is intrigued the moment you place the first soft kisses to the marks on his neck
he's always attentive when it comes to your affection after all
teases you of course, it's Ed we're talking about, asking if you're trying to undo his transformation with your little kisses
saying that you might need a little more than that.. basically his version of "keep going don't stop"
it feels so nice he's going to enjoy it shamelessly. Since you're offering, why wouldn't he?
depending on how you look at this, the downside could be that's he's always so smug about this, exposing more of his neck to you like a cat expecting more affection
this is perfect. don't ever stop
well if you do he's just going to start ask for it himself, he knows how to get his way and is not embarrassed of it
since you like the marks so much, maybe you'll let him give you matching ones? wouldn't that be just cute?
oh relax he's just joking.. or is he? (he is unless you really up for it)
+ if you don't have enough of my yapping here's small bonus little scenes for each guy cause I couldn't help myself ๐
"Subaru, I can almost hear your thoughts. Please stop," you sigh softly as you sit beside him.
He's been stressing non stop today, and seeing him anxious like that was breaking your heart.
"I-I'm sorry it's just that-" he stops immediately when you suddenly use your little trick.
Kissing the mole under his eye.
"Yeah? What's on your mind?" you hum softly, placing another kiss, and his face reddens almost immediately.
You can see the tension in his shoulders slowly melting away as you continue your gentle caress, while he finally confesses what's troubling him so bad.
"I told you to stop it already. It's disgusting," Shion protests without actually making any effort to push you away as you kiss the moles under his eyes.
"But I can't help myself," you coo teasingly, "they're so adorable!"
Shion scoffs at your blatant try. But still doesn't move away.
"It's so gross. Your lips are warm."
"That's because I'm a living being. Of course they're going to be warm," you huff.
"That can be changed," he suddenly smiles, dangerous kind of mischief dancing in his eyes. You know what he means.
"Yeah? And who will then give you your dose of those gross little kisses you hate so much?"
You can see you outsmarted him this one time, though he doesn't acknowledge it with words, settling for a frown.
"Keep trying, dear. Who knows, you might just undo my transformation with this eagerness of yours today," Edward teases.
You huff at him, running a finger over the marks on his neck you just kissed before nibbling at them in retaliation.
But he only lets out a delighted, breathy chuckle, exposing more of his neck to you.
"Oh, did you change your mind? Now you're just marking your terrority?"
"Shut up. You're much more handsome when you're not being so smug," you throw at him.
Edward knows when to stop. He smiles, giving you a fake apologetic look and urging you to continue. And you do, unable to free yourself out of the charm of his crimson eyes staring straight into your soul.
โ.๐ ฬ Party people, I'm on a roll with those grid thingies now, so I made a tkdb murder case version ๐! I let a randomizer decide the roles to surprise myself and OMG why is that so accurate with Tohma, Alan and Jin, I'm crying ๐ญ๐ญ
Also Subaru the true murderer, alrighty??? ๐ Always watch out for the polite model students, pookies ...
I won't tag anyone this time since I don't want to spam you, but if you're still up for another version, give this one a try with a picker wheel and let me know your results! ๐คญ
And of course feel free to tag, share and reblog however you like ๐ฉท
How would the ghouls react to PC wearing their dorm uniform ? I've thought about this too much for my own good. No pressure
Thanks for the prompt! I'm guessing you mean the uniforms they get at the opening ceremony and not just the colored pin/tie (although that gave me an idea, stay tuned). Hope you like this!
Jin -
How to make this manโs heart swell. Jin has a territorial personality. Seeing you in the blue that makes you look like one of his (subjects) people makes him feel secure in his relationship with you. Heโd stand a little taller than usual and suddenly gets the need to take a walk with you for โexerciseโ and totally not to parade you around, flaunting that youโre his.
Tohma -
โYou look very nice.โ Heโd make it sound like a platitude, but he truly means it. He already considers you as one of the people in his circle, especially since the two of you spend hours in the vault taking care of Frostheimโs internal affairs together, but seeing you dress the part would truly seal the deal. Heโs not one to help others if thereโs nothing in it for him, but heโd feel inclined to take care of you when youโre dressed like that.ย
Kaito -
โAre you finally joining Frostheim? With me?โ Tears stream and snot drips down his face. Even after you tell him it is just for a mission, heโd relish in the fact that you are matching. Heโd try to sneak away with you during the mission to go on a โdateโ in your โcoupleโs outfit.โย
Lucas -
โWhat is the occasion?โ โฆ โIt suits you very well, PC. You should wear this more often.โ Your fancy Frostheim skirt is more cumbersome than your uniform one, so he watches out for you even more. Think opening doors, getting utensils for you at the cafeteria, and carrying your bags.ย
Alan -
Would feel uncomfortable. โYou donโt belong here. Itโs dangerous.โ Heโd send you home to get changed. As heโs fixing up a car later that day though, heโd let his mind imagine how itโll be like if he were a normal guy and you can sit together in class, side by side, and walk back to the dorms together.ย
Leo -
Starts streaming as soon as he catches sight of you. Heโd come up to you talking like you did all this just for him. Showers you with sweet compliments for his viewers. When heโs done though, heโd mock you. โWhy are you dressed like me? Are you in love with me or something? Ew, please donโt. I donโt want to be involved with an NPC.โ As if he didnโt just force you to be involved with him for a 20 minute stream.
Sho -
โSenpai? Is there a mission?โHe wouldnโt compliment you outright, but he might compliment the clothes. Might hyper-fixate on one article so heโd have an excuse to keep looking at you. โThat jacket looks really aerodynamic.โ โItโd probably let Bonnie go even faster. Want to test it out?โ If it is for a mission, heโd actually stand up to Leo if the vice-captain opposes him being partnered with you.
Haru -
Might actually cry. Heโs probably the one who got you the uniform, and he takes it as a green light to get you to help with some of the tasks around Jabberwock. Of course, heโd customize the uniform so itโll accentuate yourโฆ features. Haru keeps his eyes narrow so you canโt tell which way his pupils are pointing.
Towa -
Very pleased that you match. During the day, heโd drag you everywhere with him because you are twinning, and twins do everything together. Heโd even drag you across the mud because Haru cannot complain about him getting your actual uniform dirty now. At night, he tells you how adorable you are. Heโd note how the clothes donโt make the person since heโs very strong but you still look so weak in the jumpsuit.
Ren -
Confusion. Why would you voluntarily wear something like that? He makes a disgusted face at you and yeets away as quickly as he can because this probably means youโre meeting up with Haru, and Ren is not about to entertain โthat clown.โ However, the next time he has to put on his own jumpsuit, heโd feel less bad about it and his own situation. But then heโd stand in front of the mirror in his green get-up and wonder why he doesnโt look nearly as cute as you in it.
Taiga -
Might mistake you for a Sinostra student. Heโd have an even harder time trying to remember who you are since heโs not used to you wearing those clothes. When he finally comes around his memories, heโd pull you into his lap to play poker as usual. He doesnโt have much of an eye for fashion anyway, so he wouldnโt act much differently than usual.
Romeo -
โHuh. You finally donโt look like you walked out of the dumpster.โ Takes you to his office to take a good look at your outfit. Will give a few critiques (obviously), but also will help you fix up your fit. By the end of the day, you are ready for the Met Gala. He might even pamper you a little bit, doing a face mask with you and dabbing some serum onto your face. Youโd feel like a million dollar purse poodle, but youโre his million dollar purse poodle, and heโd personally make sure you look the part.
Ritsu -
Boyโs elated. Takes it as a sign you are committing to Sinostra and bringing them the Laurel Crown as his business partner. The fact that you look stunning in it is but the fine print of this whole thing. However, if youโve ever met Ritsu, youโd know he pays close attention to fine print.
Subaru -
Tea party! Heโd quickly put on his own robes if he isnโt in them already and bring you to Hotarubiโs terrace with some fancy daifuku and tea. โYou look very nice, PC.โ He finds eye contact a little easier that day. In fact, he keeps his eyes on you the whole time. Despite his social awkwardness, the beauty and grace you extruded while in those robes spoke to his kabuki culture and had him enraptured.
Haku -
He was probably the one who tricked you into putting on the garment with the Fox Robe. โNow we look like a couple,โ heโd say with a wink. Heโd do this around the time of the spring festival so now you โhaveโ to go visit it together otherwise itโll be such a waste of a good opportunity. Walks under cherry blossom trees so he can pick petals out of your hair for you. Oh no! Thereโs too many people here. Better hold hands so you donโt get lost!
Zenji -
โYou look like an absolute doll, my dear!โ Walks/floats in circles around you like a satellite, taking in your new look from all angles. โYou look like the first flower that blooms after a harsh winter! You breathe life and hope into the hopeless!โ Non-stop poetic(?) compliments accompanied by a biwa. Expect to have your ears burning by the end of the day.
Ed -
โThis reminds me of the gothic era. I must say though, you manage to pull it off better than most of the children I saw back in the days.โ Thereโs a video playing on his tablet, but heโs watching you instead as you go about cleaning his room. Might actually remember to warn you about mysterious liquids in his room so you donโt soil your clothes.ย
Rui -
You were supposed to look ghoulish and scary in your Obscuary get up, but Rui still finds you super cute. Then again, he finds you cute even when youโre just breathing. Takes a million pictures together. โPC, this just calls for a romantic walk through a graveyard. They say fear makes the heart grow closer!โ Heโd insist you stay over for the full Obscuary experience. Youโd wake up to a full spread of breakfast and another Obscuary outfit hand tailored by yours truly.
Lyca -
โYouโre wearing more fur than usual. And more purple. Hey! Are you joining our house?โ Lil pup would be so excited but try to hide it beneath his scowl. Since he didnโt get placed into the same house as Subaru, he really wants a friend as a dorm mate. Since you are human, heโd also be happy that Obscuary seems less like a place for creatures.
Yuri -
โDonโt think you can become the assistant of the great Yuri Isami just because you are dressed like that.โ Despite what he says, Yuri would take you around Mortkranken, showing you all the specimens and teaching you how to use the machines. โYou better come back here tomorrow immediately after class so you can put some of what you learned to good use. Youโd better not waste my efforts!โ Oh, and you better wear that outfit again too. Youโre supposed to wear lab attire in the lab, after all.
Jiro -
โTake it off.โ What he meant is for you to put on the patient gown so he can conduct his examination. The patient gown is basically your Mortkranken uniform any other day since thatโs all youโre in whenever you go there.
I know someone people really don't like Elias and are quick to call him evil and that he should die. And I just think you guys aren't appreciating his incredibly suspicious and untrustworthy white boy swagger.
I wanna keep him around just to see what he can destroy.
Figuratively and literally, because let's assume there exists some kind of anomaly creature capable of sensing people's emotions, especially romantic feelings. ^^ Naturally, this little supernatural talent earned you the title of Cupid.
So you made up your mind and started a service within Darkwick Campus: ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
Some clients are shy, so one of your services is the ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐.
"I have experienced symptoms of my heart rate increasing whenever I am around this person, especially when they feed me food.
Apparently, this is merely a normal physiological response, or so my doctor friend has informed me.
Somehow, being around them has also reduced the symptoms of my illness lately.
It may not be the same for them. Whenever I arrive at their dormitory to administer their monthly medication injection, the bed is always empty and I can never seem to find them anywhere.
Are they afraid of me?
I do possess a certain reputation among the students, at least according to what I have heard."
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Bro. Are you asking for love advice or are you bragging?
Because from where I'm standing, this sounds suspiciously like bragging.
First of all, I assume this is some kind of doctor-patient or nurse-patient relationship.
Second of all... THEY FEED YOU?
YOU'RE WINNING. LET'S FREAKING GO.
My professional advice is to ask whether you can feed them back.
If they agree, that's a very good sign.
You already have a great opportunity to get closer to them.
I'm cheering for you, mannnnn.
Also, regarding the medication shots...
Have you ever considered that maybe they're not afraid of you?
Maybe they're afraid of the giant needle you're carrying around every month. Just a thought.
Be patient and gentle with them.
Not everybody enjoys being stabbed, medically or otherwise.
And this reputation you're talking about?
What kind of reputation could a healthcare worker possibly have?
What are people saying?
Another letter arrives the next day.
"I see. That is an interesting interpretation.
I will take note of your advice and ask them out during our next checkup.
Furthermore, patients should not miss their medication injections, according to their physician.
You should also complete your prescribed injections."
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Haha.
No.
I'm kidding. I take my medication perfectly. Kind of.
I'm not a coward, you know.
I can handle myself.
Thank you for the reminder, though.
*Proceeds to immediately ignore every future medical appointment*
"I have taken them camping and mountain climbing before.
Unfortunately, they tripped and sprained their ankle.
Ever since then, I have not taken them on another trip.
Recently, however, they have been very persistent about wanting to go again.
I am worried they may injure themselves.
They have also been ignoring my texts and calls lately.
One of my juniors informed me that this behavior means they are sulking.
What should I do?"
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
DUDE!!!!
YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME HERE.
Do you realize what you're telling me?
This person wants to go on another trip with you.
Whether it's a date or not, that's still an opportunity.
A very large opportunity. A gigantic opportunity.
A neon sign saying "PLEASE SPEND MORE TIME WITH ME."
WHY ARE YOU DECLINING?!
Pick up that damn phone. Call them.
Set up a freaking camping date immediately.
I guarantee they'll stop sulking.
Probably.
Then come back and give me updates.
Also, thank you for the candy you left in the box. It was really good.
It takes this guy three business days to respond.
Three. Entire. Business. Days.
"Sorry for the delayed reply.
It was somewhat difficult to locate your box.
I called and invited them out the following day.
They declined.
I believe they are still upset with me, according to my juniors.
Also, apologies for the torn paper.
I was writing this while feeding several cats.
They began nibbling on the letter."
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Difficult to find?
I literally put directions everywhere.
There are signs and stickers and arrows.
I even slapped stickers all over that giant campus map.
Someone must have taken them down.
Damn rival service. Trying to sabotage my business.
And hold on.
Did you just mention cats?
Cats come to you for treats? Multiple cats?
Does this happen regularly?
Are you some kind of cat distribution center? A mobile cat waypoint? A feline summoning beacon?
Do you realize most people absolutely adore animals?
Especially cats?
Use those cat treats as an excuse to ask them out again!
Figuratively and literally, because let's assume there exists some kind of anomaly creature capable of sensing people's emotions, especially romantic feelings. ^^ Naturally, this little supernatural talent earned you the title of Cupid.
And of course, you were not about to let such a useful ability go to waste. If you're good at something, never do it for free.
So you made up your mind and started a service within Darkwick Campus: ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
Lovebirds, students with crushes, hopeless romantics, people down catastrophically bad for someone, everyone was welcome. Rates varied depending on how desperate the client was.
Business was booming.
Then one day, while minding your own business and reviewing next week's bookings, you noticed some very, very, very familiar handwriting.
Now, you're a professional who follows procedures and protocols very strictly.
Some clients are shy, so one of your services is the ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐.
Students can either:
Submit concerns and receive personalized advice.
Pour their hearts out to their crushes anonymously.
Publicly embarrass themselves in writing while paying you for the privilege.
Honestly, reading some of these gives you a toothache.
Half the people writing in seem less interested in advice and more interested in finding excuses to show off how in love they are.
The funny thing is that most people don't know that no matter how sneaky or secretive they think they are, you can always tell exactly who wrote each letter โแข._.แขโโก เผ
Whenever you pick up a letter, you can see the lovely aura surrounding it.
Don't worry, though. Your clients' secrets are always safe with you. Teehee.
"Based on my research regarding your service, there appears to be no documented guarantee concerning privacy protection, data retention policies or procedural safeguards. Therefore, I would like to request a direct meeting in order to discuss the operational structure of your business in greater detail."
A second letter from the exact same person arrives shortly afterward.
"Is it strategically advisable to pursue a romantic interest who is simultaneously a business associate? Please provide a comprehensive list of advantages and disadvantages supported by empirical evidence, statistical analysis, and quantifiable data.
Advantages: They smiled at me today.
Disadvantages: The smile was not directed exclusively at me.
I am experiencing what I believe to be jealousy.
Is this reaction considered normal?"
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Bro! Stop sending regulatory threats to my confession box.
I'm literally just running a small business.
Are you some kind of rival service?
Because that is extremely uncool.
That's unfair competition and I will sue you if you threaten me again.
I have a lawyer friend who charges 5,000 per hour, and trust me, he is not nice.
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
But I'm still a professional, so I'll answer your question.
It depends on the nature of your business relationship.
Personally, I would never date a coworker. That sounds like a Human Resources incident waiting to happen.
And yes, what you're experiencing is completely normal. Jealousy tends to happen when you like someone, especially when they are friendly with other people.
My advice is to spend more time with this person and observe how they view you.
Do they see you as a business associate? A friend? Or something more?
Currently, the available data set is insufficient for further analysis.
"This is stupid. Why am I even writing this?
Maybe you won't even read mine anyway. I heard you have a lot of clients.
Is it considered a good sign if they accept my invitations to watch movies and play co-op games together?
I see them hanging out with other people too, so maybe it doesn't actually mean anything."
The next letter arrives looking like it lost a fight against itself.
Crossed-out sentences. Half-finished thoughts. Words scribbled over each other. The paper is practically screaming.
You assume he was panicking when he shoved it into the box.
"I don't know how this works. I just...
And I thought maybe th
Wait, no.
That's stupid.
This is stupid.
Never mind.
Actually, can I request a refund?
Do you do refunds?"
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Dude.
The important part is not whether they accepted. Anybody can accept an invitation.
What matters is whether they enjoy spending time with you.
Ask them out more often. The fact that they already accept your invitations is a positive sign.
Maybe make the next outing a little more romantic.
Pick a romance movie.
Watch their reactions.
Gather evidence.
Conduct research.
Become the scientist your feelings deserve.
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Also, I do not provide refunds unless you actually follow my advice and fail.
Stop being a coward. Ask them out again. Come back with updates.
"Is there a way to stop them from constantly inviting one of our mutual friends whenever we hang out?
I keep trying to arrange plans with just the two of us, but somehow my friend always ends up coming along.
And he always manages to draw their attention away from me.
I love my friend, but this is becoming increasingly frustrating.
What if he manages to win them over before I can?"
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Wow. Jealousy is such an ugly color.
Anyway.
I think you should talk to your friend.
Based on your letter, he sounds completely unaware of your feelings.
If he knew, he might actually help create opportunities for the two of you to spend time alone. Friends can be surprisingly supportive.
Now, regarding your crush...
Have you ever considered the possibility that they might actually like your friend?
"Never thought the day would come when I would need this service. No offense.
I'm just stuck.
They seem nice to me. Whenever I ask them to try my special dishes as an excuse to spend time together, they always agree.
But I think they only like my food, not me.
I wonder what they think of me.
If I'm being honest, they even seem closer to my best friend."
๐ช๐๐๐๐ :
Hold on.
You can cook?
That's a massive advantage.
Do you realize how many people would willingly fall in love for homemade food alone?
Don't give up. Have some faith in yourself. Keep inviting them out.
The fastest route to someone's heart is through their stomach. That's science. Probably.
I'm cheering for you from the sidelines.
After answering every letter and dispensing your professional wisdom, you finally went to bed.
The next morning, you woke up to your phone vibrating nonstop.
Notifications. Messages. Date invitations. More date invitations. And even more date invitations.
From several very familiar ghouls.
Oops.
You completely forgot something.
Your ability allows you to see everyone else's love aura. It does not allow you to see your own. And people who share mutual feelings possess the same aura.
