' Goddamnit you stupid king, don't tell me you're going through more shit and that's why you've been missing school and practices. '
“Uwahh! M-Maybe... But not that bad!! I swear, Sena! I’ll be back to normal here quick~ I just needed a break, that’s all!” That and he might’ve gotten just... a little bit lost, perhaps.
Tsukasa watched as Leo stuffed the handkerchief in his blazer pocket. He almost said something about the way Leo shoved it in his pocket but Tsukasa decided to hold his tongue instead. It was his handkerchief now so Leo could do whatever he pleased with it, but there was definitely a part of Tsukasa that was dying inside seeing Leo handle the handkerchief so poorly.
Besides, Tsukasa knew he couldn’t keep lecturing Leo forever. He wasn’t his mother nor was he his keeper. And given the circumstance, this was hardly the time to be critiquing Leo’s handkerchief etiquette.
❝ Eh? I understand what I said might have been a tad impertinent but I did properly apologize so why is Leader still pouting like a child? ❞ Tsukasa asked. Maybe he could have phrased it a bit better, but it wasn’t as if Tsukasa’s disbelief was completely unfounded. There were instances where he asked Leo to teach him things such as composing, but he was completely shot down without a second thought.
❝ If you’re teaching me solely to aggravate Hasumi-senpai, then I will have to politely decline your offer and request if you wish to show your appreciation to do so in another way. I would rather not be subjected to Hasumi-senpai’s wrath nor do I have any desire to upset him. You do realize Hasumi-senpai is our club president, right? If he wanted to, he could kick us out and that’s something I would rather avoid because then I will be faced with disappointment from my parents. ❞
“Heh?!” Green eyes blinked wide before he huffed a bit. “He wouldn’t kick us out!! We’re too valuable~ Even though I slack around alot, I still hit bulls-eyes every time! He just gets upset he can never clear his heart every time he goes to shoot~” Humming, he then laughed a bit. “Besides, it was just a joke, Suo~! C’mon, you’ve heard jokes before right? Though, if I gave you tips and you learned to improve your shots, he’d get jealous you got better suddenly anyway!! He just doesn’t like to be bested~” Nodding, that was his own assumption, at least, thinking it sounded about right.
But, if Tsukasa didn’t want lessons in archery... “I danno what else I could give you tips on then!! Erh, what else I could do to thank you for, y’know... Bein’ nice to me just now.” Shrugging, he kicked at the ground a little bit, still trying to think of what else he could do, as he didn’t exactly have any money he could spend freely, so... an outing was out of the question... “Is there something else I can do that could help you too, Suo~?”
Outside of unit lessons, Tsukasa didn’t see much of Eichi. Just because he was able to join the unit of the person he admired most in the school, that didn’t mean that their social circles suddenly intermingled. For one, Tsukasa still had a terrible habit of making a fool out of himself in front of Eichi. He had enough self awareness by this point to realize he let his admiration often get the better of him which backed Eichi into a corner, so he would often get rejected.

Elsewhere, Leo was dragged back to the practice room Knights typically held practices in. Once Izumi caught wind from his sister that he was repeating behaviors he’d shown when he’d first gone “missing” from school for so long, it wasn’t long before Izumi had come running over to only enter the house and immediately swing Leo’s door open. The ginger’s head shot up from where he’d been sulking only to stare wide eyed at Izumi. Who had told him where he was? Ruka? ...Tsukasa? No, Tsukasa wasn’t talking to the other Knights...
“What the hell do you think you’re doing, you stupid king?!” He wasn’t surprised to hear Izumi was mad, but a quieter tone of fear was there, and he was more than certain he knew why. The last time he’d gone missing, and left Knights entirely to Izumi and the others... well, things hadn’t really gone very well for the unit. “We’ve come this far now with you, why are you acting like this again?” Before Leo could even answer him, he was already getting dragged out of his room onto the route he usually took to walk to school.
“S-Sena! Sena, wait, please, I can explain!” The silver haired teen stopped to look at him, concern blending in with his anger and frustration. “Ah...” So, instead, the ginger fell quiet and simply followed after him. It wasn’t long before they were arriving at the school, making their way to the Knights practice room... Sena house... It sounded silly now, but more... well, sad, almost. It wouldn’t be Sena house anymore, only a little longer, right? Tsukasa was bound to be a permanent member of fine at this rate, he was sure of it. Especially after his last run in with the red head.
Soon after he’d been let go, Izumi was demanding to know what was going on and why Leo was acting like this, “You complained about Kasa-kun forever, and you never seemed to get on that well with him. Why are you so devastated to lose him?” Those blue eyes burned through him as he teared up, hugging himself as his lips trembled. The door opened as Arashi made their way inside the room, only to stop in the doorway at the sight before them. As Izumi cast them a look, the blond quickly walked over to simply sit down and try and focus on their makeup, trying to not think of how broken Leo looked.
Ritsu had remarked that Izumi needed to quit yelling, but the third year just shook his head, heaving an aggravated sigh. “I can understand that losing a member of an idol unit is hard, but he chose this path. He didn’t want to listen to us then, so why would he listen to us now?” Leo let out a quiet sob with this thought, hugging himself tighter. He didn’t want it to be true. He wanted Tsukasa to just reconsider and realize his mistake... Maybe... Maybe then he could know he never really meant to be so harsh all those times before...
When they all heard a foot step in the doorway, they all turned their heads ( subtract the grumpy and tired Ritsu ), only to see the last person they expected just before the threshold. Leo was the first to speak, though his voice was raw with emotion. “S-Suo...? Wh... Wh-What are you doing here...?”
( HEY Y’ALL ur ho Tenshi is back at it again on this disaster of a blog-- UH tumblr literally ate my activity so uh... whatever I have in drafts will get answered and I guess if you’re around and wanted a thread continued you’re gonna have to link me. ajknvjfdnv )
“Hey, Suo--” While he had been wrapped up in, more or less, talking to himself about how he wanted this composition to go and how it wasn’t cooperating, he hadn’t entirely realized how much closer Tsukasa had come to him. As he turned his head, it sealed the deal, their lips brushing against one another. Before he could think about what was going on, he simply leaned in to make it more of a kiss, lips actually pressing together instead of a light brush. Once he pulled away, his cheeks were flushed a vibrant red, and it seemed whatever he’d been talking about before was completely out the window now.
“Suo~ That felt really nice! I want more, I want more!” If it had been to initially shut Leo up so he quit agonizing about the piece, it was probably for the better, but now he had another problem on his hands as Leo was snuggling up against him and more interested in more kisses now.
Although he was quite aware of how all the oddballs were ( he was on decent terms with all of them, when he thought about the ones he knew best ) they still seemed to manage to catch even the mad king off guard. In the midst of scribbling some notes away on some composition paper in the 3-B room, he’d been rather side tracked humming it as he composed the song before he felt a soft warmth against his cheek. Blinking as every note he’d had on the edge of his lips disappeared with the sheer surprise crossing his features, he was quick to turn in his chair and see who it was before a slight tint of pink fell over his cheeks.
“Hehh? Rei? What was that for?” That had been a kiss to his cheek, right? He’d only received cute kisses like that from his sister, so it was kind of different receiving one from his classmate. Tilting his head, he blinked another couple times as he stared at the other third year. He really couldn’t think of any reason why Rei would have done that, honestly speaking.
Hotaru and Tsumugi is an absolute hardcore weakness for me!! My baby is just so happy when he’s around Tsumugi and just guh they rot my teeth out in the best sorts of ways and I want them to have the absolute best in life!
Actually, in general, Tsumugi ships are something I sort of wanna play around with overall… Especially like LeoMugi, or even ShuMugi after I get his blog set up… ( saying ShuMugi sounds like I’m slurring Tsumugi tho and that makes me giggle alot ) sobs in general I want Tsumugi to just be happy and live the best life!!
Wataru and Mika is a ship I think about alot too, mostly due to @a-ma-zingu, and an old Shu RPer who’s no longer active in the rpc here… The old Shu RPer put ShuWataMika in my head then a-ma-zingu just fueled the fire w/ the headcanon we discussed that Mika and Wataru might have been in the same orphanage as kids. akjnvfjdkvn I want them… to be happy, and Wataru to show Mika that even though Mika’s life didn’t go as perfectly as his did, he, too, can reach for his dreams if he so desires them… jkanfdjkv
In general, uhhh Mika ships give me life? AraMika especially~ God, just making Mika happy and showing him he matters is like my favorite thing in shipping Mika ever ajknvfdjkv let him know he’s important to you and treat him super good just sobs… )
( Oh boy oh boy, well this is gonna span not just leo, but all my blogs ( even though I’ve been horribly inactive on Angelo, weeps ) so!!
Definitely Mama for Leo is one I’m weak to any ideas for. @theirsalvation and @mamachansenpai are two of my fave Mama’s around, and I would love to do all sorts of things with either of you guys ( though both is always good~ ) involving good, soft MamaLeo’s bc MamaLeo definitely does not get the love it deserves… weeps
I absolutely ad o r e shipping Angelo with your Ritsu, it’s so soft and gently angsty ahhh /sobs. I hope to do more with them in the future as life allows us to. ; w;/ Honestly same with Angelo and Mika too though g o d they’re just both such cute softies and then I mean… idk if it’s a ship really but Angelo and Ibara’s thread we have on discord is still a riot for me to read over, even if we haven’t had time to get very far. <3
Of course, I super ship my Eichi w/ @a-ma-zingu, as well as @agentlemagician, though we haven’t quite got that far yet~ I want to RP all the sweet and painful things that come w/ RPing EiWata and EiMugi, even though I take my sweet time on Eichi’s replies. / w\
Gosh oh golly, how could I forget that I love threading my Mika w/ your Izumi though, haaaa, they’re so precious and even though it’s kind of an out there ship, it’s still potentially possible and hECK MAN it is so cute and soft. Protect Mika w/ ur life for Shu, Izumi.
Then how could I forget the gayest of all? Any of Knights w/ Leo is absolutely my jam! I’m especially gay for LeoKasa with @nobilism, AraLeo with @knights-queen, and IzuLeo with @oresena! I love all of you so very much and I look forward to potentially doing more things together with these super cute ships– whether it be romantic or platonic doesn’t matter, I just love seeing Leo happy. :’>c )
"Happy Birthday, your majesty! The Emperor has granted his jester to the King for today. How may I be of service?"
“Uohhh?! Tenshi sent you to me like a temporary gift?” That was wild. What on earth was the blockhead thinking? Now Leo had the ultimate power. “Hmmm... Carry me on your shoulders! No, wait, better, carry me bridal style! That way I don’t hit my head on the ceiling!” Grinning wide, he was clearly satisfied with this idea, mostly because it used much less of his energy, and if he had sudden inspiration, he could write against his own legs as a desk while they moved! Clearly, he was a genius. “We should go around like that and enjoy the nice weather~ I bet I could find some great inspiration for a piece today~”
There was no reason he should still act flustered and frustrated around the ginger he had been dating for some time now, but he found his heart beating even faster as he approached Leo, who had already been given gifts from the rest of their unit aside from Izumi himself. ' Oi, Ousama. ' He'd announce,. ' H-Here. 'Arms extended, holding out a wrapped gift as he seemed to have trouble keeping eye contact. Inside was a mix CD he had made and recorded of himself. ' Happy Birthday. '
It had been a nearly perfect birthday thus far, but what would have made it so was his boyfriend finally showing up to celebrate their unit leader’s birthday. He had been talking about it the last few days, it wasn’t like Izumi could just up and forget! When he had finally arrived, Leo was quick to throw his arms around with a loud laugh before it quickly turned into a pout. “Sena!! Sena, what took so long? I was waiting for you specifically! What was I gonna do if I didn’t have my Sena for my birthday?” The pout was quick to turn quizzical as he looked at the wrapped gift shoved in his hands. Blinking a few times, he then tore it open carefully when he felt it was a cd jewel case.
It’s not like he couldn’t tell that’s what was under the wrapping-- he handled those on a daily basis in his horde of mixes and compositions and failed cd writes... When he looked at the disc at first, he wasn’t sure what to make of it, but after a moment of reading what was written on the disc, he felt his cheeks flush a vivid red and he carefully set the jewel case down before almost tackling Izumi.
“Ahh! Sena, I love it! I love it so much! We need a cd player right now! I wanna hear, I wanna hear! I bet it sounds super good, and everyone should now how good you sound! I love you Sena!” Smothering the other third year in kisses, he couldn’t help himself, hardly bothered at all that the rest of their unit was present for his show of affection.
He could feel his heart skip a beat at the question - he knew it was coming….So hard did the silvertee try to hide any colour slinking its way onto his features. ‘ W-Why the hell would you think that?! ‘ He choked out, stuttering carelessly at first. Oh god, now he was sounding embarrassed at the idea, he hated the fact that he was portraying this sort of image now. But - no, Leo deserved to know that there was no way in hell he’d hurt him, as a partner or not. He’d probably nag him about why he even thought that later, but now clearly wasn’t the time.
‘ Course I wouldn’t. ‘ A huff as he puffed out his chest, glancing away at the dead eye contact given to him. He was serious though, no denial here.
“I-I danno! I just wanted to check, that’s all. I never thought you would, but...” The idea still haunted him, and after a moment, he moved to wrap his arms around Izumi tightly. “Hearing you say it makes me feel better though... Sena would never lie to me about something important!” Though he was starting to slowly return to his more cheery self, the reminders still lingered. What happened haunted him too much, and he particularly wished that they didn’t both have blue eyes... God, why did that have to be a thing?
“Sena, never dye your hair, okay? You’re perfect just the way you are, I love you so much, Sena~” Snuggling up against him more now, he let out a laugh finally, trying to shake off the unsettling feelings gnawing at him.
“No. A butler is Fushimi Yuzuru’s job. My job is to be Hibiki Wataru.” He clarified. “I’m a much more showy and flashy than a butler.” Reducing his role to one that’s already being filled made him a little cross, but he pushed through it.
“Pushy, maybe. But he most certainly uses his power of negotiation to grease the wheels a bit.”
“Uh-huh... Oh! Then a court jester! That’s what I’m thinking of!” That sounded about right-- still a servant, but entertainment as well? That’s how it worked right? He never particularly studied these things, never anything beyond kings and their knights, really. Eichi was more of a tyrant as far as he was concerned, but it wasn’t like he completely despised him. Disliked, maybe, but he just didn’t bother putting so much of his energy into bothering with that dislike.
“Mm, still pretty pushy to be bothering with the wheels at all.” He supposed that persistent might have been a better word, but whatever. Wataru likely knew what he meant.
