Kevin Day & Riko's Obsession with Kevin

The King and the Queen of the Court.

Riko was the second son born to the Moriyama family, a legacy, yet his worth was close to none. He had nothing while his brother who was lucky enough to be born three years earlier had everything.

"Riko will find out the truth, but he can't tell his brother. For starters, Riko and Ichirou aren't allowed to associate with each other, seeing how they belong to separate branches...." - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

He had nothing for years, and then all at once he had everything the moment that Kevin turned his gaze on to Riko and gave him a brilliant smile. Because Kevin was a match on a cold winter night, he was a piece of bread in the hands of a starving man, a hope in a life born of nothing. Kevin Day belonged to Riko Moriyama in a way that nothing else had before. Kevin was his.

Riko was number one of the perfect court, and had been dubbed the king of the court. They weren't equal's, and wasn't that so much better?

Kevin was number two. He was lower than Riko, but would stand almost at the same level for he was his pair. Kevin was his partner, who was bound to always be at his side but would never be allowed to stand before him. If he was the King, didn't it make sense that Kevin was to be the Queen of his Court?

They were both stuck in the Nest, and Riko was content with it as long as he had Kevin by his side at the end of the day. Kevin, who kept stepping outside the norm and wanting things that were outside of the Nest— things that Riko never failed to get for him.

Kevin stared back at him, white-faced and tense. "You said that goalkeeper had potential and then wrote him off as useless when I offered him to you. You'll get bored of this one just as quickly. Believe me." - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

Kevin liked History. In the end, Riko and Kevin studied History together, while every other Raven studied the same thing. Riko got everything that Kevin wanted, everything he spared his attention to for too long— Kevin never got bored of Andrew, he never lost interest in him, but Kevin still wrote him off as useless, because he knew that otherwise Riko would get him for Kevin no matter what, perhaps Riko wished to make sure that Andrew would never be a big enough deal for him to care about after Kevin 'stopped caring about him', and that was why he paid a couple of people to take care of the problem. A couple weeks later, Andrew was on an experimental medicine 24/7.

Riko had the same stare his father did: he looked at Neil and saw only flesh that knew how to bleed. - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

Kevin knows how far Riko can go, he knows that he is willing to do anything to get what he wants— if he asks for Kevin to comeback, Kevin would have no other choice but to go back.

"I warned Andrew he was going to come for me. I told him!" "It doesn't matter. You signed a contract with me." "He could pay off my scholarship in a heartbeat. You know he would. He'd pay you off and take me home and I—I can't go back there. I can't, I can't, I won't, I—I have to go. I have to go. I should go now, before he has to come for me. Maybe he'll forgive me if I go back. If I make him hunt me down any more than I have already he'll kill me for sure." "Shut up," Wymack said. "You're not going anywhere." "I can't tell Riko no!" "Then don't say a word," Wymack said. - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

He can't talk back, because when it comes down to it 'yes' is the only thing he knows how to utter out when it's the only thing that gets a positive reaction.

"Kevin pressed his lips into a hard line and looked away. Riko made a disgusted noise low in his throat. He said something in a language Neil didn't understand. Neil guessed it was Japanese. Whatever it was, it sounded furious. Kevin flinched and offered a weak response. Riko stabbed a finger at him in angry accusation and rattled away, getting louder and more incensed by the second. Neil watched Kevin wilt beneath the weight of his brother's—no, owner's—fury and kissed his survival instincts goodbye." - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

He has never been allowed to say no— he no longer knows how to say 'no', so others have to do it for him instead. Years of conditioning, years of having been stuck in Riko's orbit and never allowed to step out of it for a mere second, Kevin is too afraid to step back in it even for a mere second.

He grabbed Riko's shirt and hauled him back. "Leave him alone." - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

Kevin is so afraid of saying 'no', that he doesn't realise that Riko isn't allowed to ask Kevin to return to the Nest.

"...More importantly, Coach Moriyama won't let him. This year is about Kevin and Riko, see? He won't want news about you getting out and distracting people from their showdown. They're free to make your life a living hell and they'll try to use the truth against you, but they can't sell you out yet..." - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

Riko isn't allowed to ask for Kevin to come back. The match is something that Coach Moriyama wants to see happen. It's something that everyone needs to focus on. There can be no distractions. There are whispers that the Nest is nothing without its Queen, and Coach Moriyama will have Kevin return but not before those whispers are silenced. He won't have anyone looking down on the Moriyama's.

A black look twisted Riko's expression into something ugly and unrecognizable. He reached for Neil but Kevin caught his arm to stop him. Riko slammed his elbow back into Kevin's face without missing a beat. - Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic

There is nothing innocent about the love that Riko carries for Kevin, nothing brotherly, nothing soft. Riko's love, if one can even call it that when it's more obsession than anything else, bares teeth. He bites to break skin and doesn't hold back, no matter who his victim is.

AFTG || Gotham AU #01

David Wymack grew up in crime alley with no one really sparing him a glance most of his life. It was normal in Gotham, for people to mind their own business when getting involved with the wrong crowd might just seal their death sentence.

It didn't mean that he had to do the same thing.

It might not mean much in the end, but after a whole life spent with no one having ever bothered to give him a chance, he is willing to offer a chance to others who were in the same situation he had once been in.

Or pretty much Wymack picking up strays kids through out his life and giving them the home he never had.

[golden-eventide-notes]

SVSSS || Pet Peak Lords (+ Cat Shen Jiu) AU #02

Shen Jiu is a black cat with green eyes. His fur had been ruined by the time that little Shen Yuan had found him, due to all the abuse he had been subjected to.

It takes a while for Shen yuan to bring Shen Jiu back to how he should have looked from the very beginning, and in the end there is nothing left of the stray that Shen Jiu had once been on the streets.

Shen Yuan calls him Xiǎo Bǎo (小宝 - Little Treasure) Shen Jiu doesn't know how one could look at him and see him as something precious such as a treasure, which only makes him despise Shen Yuan more.

For years it's just the two of them, and Shen Yuan carries him everywhere he can. With how much time they spend together, it's easy to come to realise that there is something terribly wrong —there are too many things mentally wrong with Shen Yuan, but that's something that Shen Jiu comes to accept after some time— with the young man who cares for him.

At first —he lies to himself that— it's due to the fact that Shen jiu would end up on the streets if Shen Yuan dies, but later one he comes to accept that he cares for the sickly teen.

Shen Yuan is so weak.

Shen Jiu would have ran him to the ground if Shen Yuan had been one of his students, would have considered it kindness if Shen Yuan had died earlier for he would have never made it far in the world of cultivation.

But Shen Yuan isn't his disciple —even if Shen Jiu cares for the teen like he is— and is his owner saviour, ray of light, kitten, family instead.

Shen Yuan doesn't care to keep track of his medicine, so it's left to Shen Jiu to do it for him instead.

He isn't a sound sleeper, always pulling down the covers, so Shen Jiu is left to pull those covers over him in return. Shen Jiu is left to curl on his chest whenever Shen Yuan is having a bad dream and cuddle him back to sleep.

Shen Jiu follows him everywhere, keeps away other pests to the best of his abilities.

The moment that Shen Jiu looks away, Shen Yuan ends up with a rabbit in his arms, one with gray fur and innocent eyes. It is when his ears drop at the sight of Shen jiu that he recognizes Yue Qi.

No matter how much he hisses at the sight of the bunny, it still doesn't stop Shen Yuan for separating a part of his house for it.

Esper & Guide AU Background Information #02 (for this AU)

Most S-Class Guides also have abilities, but they tend to go unnoticed since these abilities are considered useless in gates.

Riko Moriyama is able to get esper's hooked on his guiding, making it so that they are unable to be guided by anyone else after a point.

Jeremy Knox is able to regulate the heart beat of the one they are guiding.

Andrew Minyard is able to clear the minds of those he guides.

These abilities are considered useless in anything else but guiding. (Tetsuji was one of the only ones who looked at both Andrew and Riko and saw just how deadly they truly were.)

Kayleigh Day is not an esper or a guide, and was known for her experiments and research surrounding Esper's and Guide's.

Tetsuji Moriyama was put in charge of the Nest by his uncle, and after he showed promise he was also made the head of the Evermore Facility.

David Wymack was an independent esper that soon retired and established the Foxes.

⊹₊⟡⋆ The Researchers of the Nest ⊹₊⟡⋆

Kayleigh Day is forced to join the experiments at the Nest. Kevin is taken from het when he is born, because Tetsuji needs to get better results and he can't do it without Kayleigh. He threatens Kayleigh, telling her that Kevin will be cared for as long as Kayleigh comes to him with results. She has no choice but to listen.

Tilda Hemmick forces herself as one of the researchers in the labs.

Cass Spear already used to be one of the old researchers. She transferred to Evermore after Drake joined them. She was pretty much a low level trainer who was transferred to the Nest after Drake was (she truly believe that they are doing something good there, something revolutionary, and she does see the subjects as kids).

Drake Spear used to be one of the old members of the Evermore facility, manifesting his abilities when he is only 15. He had to retire due to an accident at one of the gates and is sent to be in charge of the experiments in the Nest. (He is responsible of the guides)

Mary Hatford needs an out by the time that Nathaniel is born, and manages to land herself a job at the Nest after solving a problem that the researchers there was having, she tells them that she would only go if she was allowed to take Nathaniel with her too.

There are other researchers there (such as Romero Malcolm) but only the five of them are allowed to work with the main subjects, the rest of the researchers work in the laboratories and have no access to the information about the subjects.

we can meet again somewhere, somewhere far away from here [espers & guides au] #02

Esper & Guide AU Background Information #01 (for this AU)

Esper's are those who are born with —or those who have manifested— a special ability. The excessive use of those abilities tend to have them go berserk or lose control. The higher that their level is the more destructive they tend to be, and also more guiding they need.

Guide's are those who have the ability to calm or stabilize the Esper's. The higher their level is the more powerful they are, the faster (and smoother) the guiding process goes.

Gate's appear a couple months before the first manifestation. For the longest time it is pure destruction, the world barely holding on as monsters that no ordinary human would be able to take on by theirselves running amok. The level of the gate's depends on the level of the creatures that habitat the dungeon, along with the environment and such.

Evermore Facilities are a facility that starts training those who show abilities from the first manifestation, they are hailed as heroes by most— others consider them as 'monsters' too in a way, because too many lives are lost due to the chaos that the esper's bring themselves. Evermore facilities consists of only esper's and doesn't have any guides under its roof.

The Trojans, who are more of a stealth group, are made out of more lower level esper's along with guides who work together. They take on the monsters by causing a little destruction as possible, which makes them more adored in the public eye. James Rhemann becomes in 2001, after having been a part of the Trojans for 10 years.

The Association pretty much takes in Guide's more than Esper's. They do have Esper's but they pretty much exist to accompany other facilities during harder raid's, or to protect the Guide's during the missions that the Guide's go to.

The Nest is a secret underground facility who focuses on heightening the abilities of those who manifested abilities. For the longest time those who sign up for it are those who are there want to be there. It is only after news of babies who are born with abilities show up that they start taking in smaller kids, those who would not be able to give their consent to the test's that will be done to them (who still end up bound to the contracts that their parents sign).

The Foxes don't exist till 2000, founded by David Wymack. They are similar to the Trojans, but their Esper's are considered much more unstable, making it harder for them to get Guide's.

When an Esper goes through corruption other facilities are usually ordered to kill them—this is why if a Facility is able to offer guiding to that Esper or able to sustain that Esper, the Esper is forced to sign a contract with that Facility.

Guiding is done by skin-contact, it can be done by a guide simply holding on to an Esper's shoulders and guiding them. More skin contact also means that the guiding is more powerful.

(the whole world building is getting a bit long so will be dividing it in seperate parts, feel free to ask me whatever! i always enjoy talking about my au's <3)

December, 2000

It was a last minute decision, to get the cards he had seen at the gas station. Will —nickname for Andrew’s second identity on the run— later decided that it had been a good decision, when he found himself sitting across from Charls —nickname for Aurora's second identity on the run— and teaching him how to play.

Ever since Will had joined him, Charls had always been the one teaching him things, showing him how things worked. It felt nice to get to see Charls act clueless in front of him, nice to teach him the rules to something that Charls didn’t know about.

Charls taught Will how to run, how to survive and how to protect himself —and others.

Will, in return, found himself teaching the younger boy how to live, even though he himself wasn’t good at it to begin with. He supposed that it still counted, however, when a smile bloomed across Charls’ face and he took out a card before slamming it on the card that Will had thrown last.

“Joker!” He said.

Will let a grin settle on his features in return. “You do know that the Joker means that it is the lowest-ranking card in this game, right?”

Charls’ nose crunched upwards, and Andrew’s grin only grew in return.

“You’ll win the next round.” Will said.

Charls stuck out his tongue at him. “Asshole.” And then he proceeded to throw the pillows next to him.

Will caught it, a laugh slipping past his lips in return.

Ghost Foxes AU Snippets #01

There are rooms that he fears stepping into somedays, rooms filled with not only his screams but that of the others instead. He had suffered so much for so long in that basement, left there for days and only visited by his father when Nathan had gotten bored. A part of him wishes to go down there with a sledgehammer and just take it down piece by piece.

He doesn't want to sell the Baltimore house, no way of knowing who it would be sold to, what would be done with it. It's not because of any kind of nostalgia he might have had at one point, but more so the fact that he knows that they will find things they shouldn't —kids are noisy little things, he knows that one day one of them will walk where they shouldn't, as Neil once had, and that their childhood would be ruined in a way similar to Neil's had been.

It feels like the only thing that he can do with it, the only thing that the Baltimore manor deserves, is to have it torn down.

Stuart calls him when he hears the news —that the whole place would be torn down— and has only one request.

He asks Neil to collect Mary's things, even if Neil doesn't want them himself.

Stuart had helped him so much, had done all that he could to make sure that Neil had a normal life, and it's a sense of debt that has Neil agreeing.

He goes there a week before the place is supposed to be torn down.

His mother's things aren't the only things that he finds.

[golden-eventide-notes]

Adopted Neil Abram Day AU #01

When Kevin is born, Tetsuji is one of the first ones to hear of him and he is the only person who Kayleigh invites to Kevin's first birthday.

He learns of Abram through other sources, and by then the little boy is already a year old. He is quick to call Kayleigh, to ask her why she didn't tell him, to ask her if this was why she disappeared from the screens for a while, there is a jealous part of him that wishes to ask who the boy's father is, another part of him doesn't want to know anything about the boy.

It is while later that they talk again, and it's to catch up. Kayleigh doesn't bring the boys with him to their meet up, and a part of him is hurt by it even though he didn't bring Riko either.

The bitter feeling is quick to disappear however as Kayleigh starts to talk about her travels. She had sounded stressed over the phone, yet now there is nothing but excitement in her voice, a bright smile plastered on her face.

She talks mostly of her boys, and a part of him wants to meet them even more. He doubts that they can be as good as she says they are, but another part of him believes that they can't be anything but brilliant with how she talks about them.

He is bitter by the time he returns, and he ends up taking out his anger on his nephew, because he is supposed to be as brilliant as Kayleigh says his kids are, but he is not.

When Tetsuji meets Kayleigh's son for the first time —he doesn't count the time that the boy had been one years old— the kid that he has heard so many things about, a young boy is standing next to him.

Kayleigh's second son has auburn hair and blue eyes, but the thing that convinces him that he must be Kayleigh's ends up being the smile he wears, so much identical to Kevin's own.

Abram, is only 5 years old while Kevin is 7 years old (and Riko is 8 but he is so far behind). Next to Kevin, the boy looks younger than 5.

Kayleigh leaves the two boys with him for two days, and Tetsuji allows the boys to interact with Riko.

At first, it's to have Riko see just how behind he is.

In the end, both boys end up bringing out the best out of Riko —a diamond can only be polished by another diamond he remembers having heard a long time ago, and it's only as the three of the boys play against one another that he realises what it means.

Riko can never shine as bright as Kevin and Abram do, without having another diamond to polish him —Kevin and Abrma have always played together, have always had one another to push their limits.

In the end, it doesn't matter that Kayleigh wants to travel with her boys, doesn't matter that she refuses to let her boys come to the Nest ever again. A raven rarely lets go of a treasure it has taken a liking to.

Aaron Minyard looked exactly like AJ Spear once had. He had fair blond hair and unmarked skin, a frown etched on his features with hazel eyes that judged everything and everyone that surrounded him. Aaron Minyard looked nothing like Andrew Millard did, and Andrew doubted that he would ever resemble the boy he had once been again.

we'll be alright || runaway & witness protection andreil au #02

Aaron had written him a letter addressed for Andrew, one that AJ should have never gotten. He had been too late —the name Andrew no longer belonging to AJ. It had been weeks since Andrew Joseph Doe’s adoption process had been finalized.

Now, he was Aidan ‘AJ’ Joseph Spear. It had been an easy decision, to change his name from Andrew to Aidan , to leave back the boy who had been hopeless in his eyes —as though Aidan wasn’t as defenceless as Andrew had been, as though he wasn’t settling down with a monster just so that he could have Cass for a while longer— and to become Drake’s brother and Cass’ and Richard’s youngest son. AJ couldn’t have settled for such a life without killing the young Andrew —Andrew who would have screamed at him for hours, calling him a coward for settling for such a life.

He had held the letter close to his chest, tears gathering behind his eyes because he had known that this meant that he couldn’t be Aaron’s brother, not if he didn’t want Aaron to get to know Drake the way Aidan had gotten to know him.

Knowing that this meant that they could never be brothers.

He stared at the empty page for hours, wondering what he was to say, how ruthless he had to be to make sure that Aaron never wrote to him, that Aaron gave up on Andrew as Aidan had given up on the two of them ever being brothers.

It was harder than it should have been, or perhaps not as hard as it should have been. It felt like something akin to-betrayal, reading the letter that should have belonged to ‘Andy’ and trying to come up with an answer that fit ‘AJ’.

He didn’t get to wonder about it for too long, however, as a knocking sound came from his window. Already knowing who it could be and needing an out from everything, he didn’t think twice before he headed to where Aurora waited for him.

Exy Coach Neil Josten AU #03 - Kevin Day

(+ Professional Exy Player Kevin & Foster Parent Andrew)

01 / 02 / Masterlist

Kevin is 16 and unable to continue playing after the 'ski trip' that he went on and ends up leaving the Nest instead.

For a long time, he doesn't know what he is to do. Tetsuji tried to hold on to him as long as he could, so did Riko, yet in the end it was Ichirou who decided what happened to him. And ichirou saw it fit to throw him out.

He would of course have to pay them, but after all the profit that they made from his name alone, it wasn't too much. They didn't expect him to recover, even Kevin didn't expect to recover, not really seeing how he could keep going after everything that had happened. Not when his hand was ruined, when the only thing left to him of his mother had been stolen from him, when he knew nothing but the legacy that he had been told that he was to carry.

It takes a while, longer than it should have after leaving the Nest, for him to go through all that Jean had stuffed in a bag for him. It takes too long for him to find the letter that had been stuffed between his clothes.

The letter had been addressed from his mother to Master Tetsuji —he can barely remember her smile at that point, of her green eyes if he doesn't stare in the mirror in hopes that he may grasp something of hers, anything that might bring her back to him after the incident that had taken too much from him, not only his future but of his past too— and reading it breaks something within him.

He doesn't allow himself to mourn her once more, to mourn the life he might had with a man he had only heard good things about— how David had supported Kayleigh with each step she took, who had been delighted when he had heard that she was with a child, their child, who thought that Kevin had died along with Kayleigh.

The letter gives him a purpose, and he starts looking for the man who his mother had mentioned in the letter, David —his mother hadn't mentioned the man's last name, just that she had loved him, and that he was Kevin's father.

It takes years for him to hear the whispers of a man who had been Kayleigh's friend, who had ended up as a coach at Palmetto State University.

By then, his hand has healed enough for him to be able to hold a racket without it aching, and he has been scouted for a small-name team. By then, it's been years since the Foxes have fallen from their place as a first class team, and no one knows where David Wymack —his fathers last name is the only thing he finds in years— has disappeared off to.

Kevin doesn't give up.

Exy Coach Neil Josten AU #02

(+ Professional Exy Player Kevin & Foster Parent Andrew)

01 / Masterlist

The thing is, Neil Josten loves his brats. Are they trouble? Absolutely. But that still doesn't stop him from loving the gremlins and devoting almost all of his time to taking care of them.

He doesn't get it at first, why Hernandez would spend all of his time working with kids who most likely wouldn't even remember to visit him, but when one of the kids forgets his math homework in his lockers and Neil ends up fixing his mistakes before returning it to the boy, he understands. It’s hard not to, with the bright smile that the little boy throws his way (Neil wonders if he ever smiled like that before, wonders if the smile he wears would ever be capable of looking so innocent and bright when it’s his father’s face that wears it.)

When Andrew Minyard comes knocking on his door, looking like he is not going to listen to Neil at all, he sees red. Janie is his girl, he has known her since she was 7, and he knows the place she grew up in, the circumstances that she was forced into. He ain't letting a bastard drag her away when she came to hide away in his locker rooms.

That’s how they meet, with Andrew pulling a knife on Neil and nicking his arm while Neil lands solid punches across Andrew’s face. They are both too focused on protecting the one they love from the other that they don’t think. It takes Janie to call out to the both of them for them to stop.

Janie doesn’t hate Andrew. How can she when he allows Janie her own room, lets her lock her door at night and gives her so much freedom? He is so much better than any of his other foster parents had been, much better than her own family had ever been —but how good Andrew is doesn't matter when James isn't by her side. They had suffered together, they had survived together, she doesn't want comfort if James isn't comfortable with her, by her side. No matter how much she prefers Andrew to any other foster parent, it doesn’t mean a thing if James is so far away from her.

(James, who Andrew knows nothing about, James who was taken in by one of Kevin's teammates, who only wants to use the boy as a charity case. James who is quick to warm himself into Kevin Day's heart, James who Kevin Day is willing to do anything for.)

Ghost Foxes AU #05

(just realised that i hadn't actually shared Renee's story)

Renee Walker was wearing a denim dress when she died, with a white turtleneck underneath it. And a cross necklace which she had hidden beneath her clothes. Her hair bleached and with pastel highlights at the edges.

And that is how she looks as a ghost, but with red stains covering certain parts of her clothes and cuts along her face as though someone had pushed her against asphalt.

While for most of the foxes, their life had been going bad before they found themselves dead, Renee's life had actually been going pretty alright, she had been adopted by her Stephanie Walker and had been given a second chance to start a new, before the demons from her past came looking for her.

It was the first year of university when she was attacked. She had been getting coffee and a cake for her roommate after she had covered for her in class as a small thank you, when people from her past showed up behind the alley way of the coffee shop and attacked her.

Andrew hadn't known her that well, and she hadn't had any conversations with him either, well at least nothing that she could remember clearly.

The only connection they had to one another was the club that they both were a part of, and him being a barista at at cafe that she frequently went to.

The same cafe she had been leaving, when she had gotten attacked, during Andrew's working hours too.

He ended up saving her from a much worse death, rushing in with his apron still on and beating the man as if his bare hands could kill them, stopping them from going any further than they already had.

After he had been done with them, and had called the emergency service, he had called Renee's mother for her, and had held her hand when she had reached out, as though he could give her strength by his mere presence.

And he had given her strength, even though he would never know.

Andrew had stayed till the ambulance had arrived, doing his best to listening to the paramedics as they were on their way and doing all that he could to and doing as he was told, trying to win as much time as possible for Renee. Telling her to hold on, again and again as she bled on the floor.

And she had held on, but only till the ambulance had arrived.

She had held on to Andrew's hand, holding his gaze that reminded too much of her own, and thinking how if things had been different, maybe they could have been friends.

Wishing all those months ago, she had went against her nerves and had asked for his number, only as a friend.

And then, she ended up stuck to Andrew, who had only been 16 by then, being able to do nothing but watch as her little savior was made to suffer again and again till he left for university, and her death only left him a bit more hallow in the end.

(once again, feel free to ask whatever you want about this au, or any other au of mine. i really enjoy answering any kind of asks.)

“You are free. Abram.” His uncle whispered into his ear. Nathaniel only shook his head.

Rather than a countdown on Nathaniel’s birthday Neil was given a gift in the form of a promise instead, one that after all that he had been through, he hadn’t dared to hope for. One which tasted too much like what he had once supposed freedom would taste like.
