A/n: AHHHHHH KAITO FUJI I LOVE YOUUUU <3 Hi! My name’s “Nutie” you can call me that, she/her I’m in my 20s. And real busy with college, so my updates are incredibly slow. Let’s lay down some ground rules so my dearest readers would feel at ease knowing my rules! Background was made by me haha <3
WRITING REQUEST: OPEN!
Warning:
I write for anything, go off dearies, I can handle it! Smut, angst, fluff, dead dove you name it! There is one thing though, I mostly write for FEMALE readers, I don’t want to do injustice for MALE Readers, but if you do ask, I don’t mind! I am 100% x readers, I do ship some characters, but I don’t actively write on them. If I do it’s probably just going to be a one shot. I also use “honor roll” as a place holder for Y/n cause I refuse to use YN. Seriously though, feel free to request, just be respectful and patient with me cause I do this for self-indulgence and fun! I don’t half - ass my fics that’s why I take a hellish long time because I’m busy as well. Request/s I receive will be done but not sure when It’ll be finished, It might take months so please be patient with me!
That’s all, just be respectful and have fun in my blog! Aside from that, I also don’t do cheating of characters ON reader, but I will do characters cheating on their spouses (Who they probably don’t love/divorced/abusive WITH Reader), for example, Honor Roll unconsciously making DILF Jin fall for her or something.
What the terminology means in each fic:
Smut: ★
Fluff: ☾
Dead dove: 𓅪
Angst: ❀
Special: ✦
Fics:

Here is a little something I'm cooking up for one of my favorite ghouls in TKDB! I will try finishing this today!
Shion’s birthday
You were excited for your boyfriend’s birthday, even though he probably forgot about it. You know he has the tendency to act like Taiga a lot… But you didn’t realize that you were in a mission with the other ghouls, having to leave him during his birthday.
Honestly, he was so upset about it, he mentioned that he didn’t get any invitation in visiting that stupid castle; only Elias did. He ended up pouting about it and just going into his circus house the moment you were prepping to leave. You said you’ll try your best to be back, and be able to enjoy his birthday with him. You tried kissing him all over his face, but he just grabbed you by the cheeks, his fingertips digging into your skin causing you to yelp.
His eyes bore into your as he leans closer, but not to your lips… to your collarbone.
Your eyes widen when he bit into it so hard you let out a pained squeak, gripping on him, trying hard enough to push him off but he kept intermitently biting from your collarbone to your shoulder. You tried to even your breathes, but the more he bit, the more your tears overflowed in your eyes making you cry.
When he was done, your skin looked like it had gotten mauled by a werewolf. He licks his lips, seemingly satisfied with what he done. “When you’re back…” he grabs your neck and pulls you close, pressing his forehead on yours roughly. “You’ll go straight to our house, wife.”
You didn’t trust your voice, so you nodded meekly, causing him to push you away, making you stumble as he withdraws into his nest. You flinched when you tried to check on your skin, making you sigh.
You have a lot to prepare… especially after the mission.
What was the reason he even bit you so much before you go on a mission..?

Edward Hart is hands down the funniest character in the game. He's a vampire from Eastern Europe. He's over 400 years old. He looks like a twink. He has no idea what a credit card is. He came to Japan for a holiday once, allegedly got captured and has just been leeching off of Darkwick's wifi ever since. He could probably leave at any time. The staff are scared of him. He's the most elegant man you've ever met. He lives in his own filth. He's deep into conspiracy theories on youtube. He doesn't know how to press play. He has a breeding kink. He may very well be a cuck. His bones are so sore. He once destroyed an entire building. I can't remember if they specificed how long he's been there for but iirc he has been held back. He could have been there for decades. He has black mold growing in his room. He doesn't take out his own rubbish. He relies on his best friend to clean up after him. Everything he does is for the love of drama. Every other ghoul besides Rui he interacts with hates him. His texts. The way he flies into the auditorium as a bat, casually drops the kykylos bombshell, and then flies off. He gets mildly inconvenienced by his arm being torn off. He's horny all the time. He belongs in a nursing home. He's a lazy bum. He's one of the most powerful characters we know of in TKDB.
He shares his first name with the vampire from Twilight.
Requests from LAST YEAR was piling up, I apologize so much for not doing them yet, I want to do them properly and with inspiration <3 I'll try to finish them up once my two week vacation starts, I love you all <3
I was writing Haru's part cause I wanted to finish this series up before moving to Seia. And I gotta say, I think I did pretty well with him, here's a sneakpeek!
”Have you opened the box yet?” you pointed at the side, the moment he turned away, you realized that he was about to find out that you were pregnant, causing your body to start pumping blood much faster as nervousness overtakes you.
“That?” he questioned more, about to grab the box before your hand unconsciously jumped out and grabbed his wrist. “How about we open it together?” you said, voice high pitched and shaky. “I think it’ll be a better surprise that way right?”
He looked at you worriedly at first before his signature smile comes back “Sure baby” he chirped, grabbing your waist and pulling you to his side, so close that you ended up placing your hands on his chest, oh. this was nice…
You ended up melting into his embrace when he grabbed the box. “Oh, I’m excited what you got for me” he said, as you ended up wrapping your arms around him once again. You know lately he noticed you’ve been clinging alot to plenty of his stuff. Last time it was peakaboo you were cuddling and they were oddly protective of you. That usually only happens when he was sick or when they were around… pregnant animals…
That’s odd… He glanced at you, eyes roaming your body to check for signs of anything, any weaknesses. Are you sick? You look pretty fine for him. Your clinginess was rather odd, but there’s nothing bad to it especially when he’s been absent for days now.
“I can open this now right?” he asked for confirmation, while he’s petting you. suddenly he felt you grip on his shirt, and a wetness drenching his shirt, causing him to panic. “Hey hey hey” he soothes you, pulling you away so you can sit up and face him.
”What’s wrong?” he said in a panic, watching as your relaxed expression turned into a flurry of tears and sobs that he helped you wiped when you tried to wipe it yourself. “I’m sorry, I’m- I’m adding so many burdens to you Haru” you squeaked out, voice cracking that made him look more and more worried.

"I know that we're destined to break." Tomoya x FEM Reader
Synopsis: When Tomoya's eyes landed on you, he got this odd feeling something was weird with you. It made his heart flutter, and for no reason... he felt a tug that told him to get closer to the "man" that he's interested in.
Pairing: Tomoya x FEM Reader, One sided Rui Mizuki x FEM Reader
Content Warning: ANGST NO COMFORT just slight!! AND SPOILERS FOR HAUNTED HOST CLUB (OBSCUARY EPISODE) if you have NOT read it, DO NOT READ. HEAVY SPOILERS.
A/n: HI, omg I finally managed to FINISH SOMETHING??? HI HI GUYS I MISSED ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!! I hope you like this cause I didn't wanna beta read it, I'm sorry! so this is just raw writing power. My bad for the multiple errors, I went with what I can write so yes! I'll try catching up more writing during break, I love you all. Enjoy! I hope yall like Tomoya, he was so cute, maybe a bit OOC cause we never really established what he was honestly.
There was an odd feeling that Tomoya felt when he saw the new batch of newbies after Seia came inside the employee’s prep room first. His eyes usually would ignore the way they look at him like he’s a challenge (which he is). They’re all competing for the best hosts here every 6 months. Since Seia just decided to announce his head as the target, you’d expect that these newbies would glare at him…
But no, one guy looked at him like he’s asking to be entertained, the blonde one looks just happy to meet new hosts, one of them look pissed off though, he’s unsure if it’s cause of the hierarchy here. Whatever the reason is. He already despises the guy.
Clicking his tounge, he didn’t wanna handle idiots who doesn’t understand the industry. His eyes darted from each host, till it reached to you. While Seia was busy yapping to the blondie. You on the other hand, look incredibly basic.
But for some reason, he couldn’t stop observing you keenly, like he discovered a new type of man in this field. He’s always surrounded by both, pretty girls, pretty boys. Heck, of course he’s one himself.
But your beauty precedes every visual appeal that his eyes had observed. You look basic… but in an endearing way.
When you noticed him staring at you. It caused you to feel a bit shy, but bold enough to flash a sweet smile. He stiffened a bit causing him to look away immediately.
“Just don’t get in my way” he scoffed, leaving as Seia tried to get him back to greet the newbies.
He didn’t need to greet them. They all leave anyways. When work started, you were the only one without requests. It made him pity you honestly, the poor little host who can’t get princesses. You could’ve just worked at the kitchen and you’ll be just fine, not being pushed by others to go serve drinks or be a shadow of other hosts.
When you fell down, spilling the drink on one of the princesses, he saw the way your eyes looked so guilt stricken. Apologizing to the angry patron while the other host, which is Gen tried to pull the princess away from you.
“I - I’m so sorry!” you squeaked out, bowing so low that he flinched at the future back pain you’re gonna get afterwards. Placing his cup down, he flashed a charming smile at his princess. “I’ll have to go help the little fawn there” he gestured by tilting his head seemingly pointing at you. “Oh! poor boy…” the princess said, watching “Go ahead!” she chirps, heck seeing him eager to help another host got her swooning, women are weird.
Tomoya stood up, walking towards you, he clasped his hand on your shoulder, pulling you to sit up straight as he signaled Rui to get a staff to get the princess new fancy clothes. “We apologize for our new fawn” he said, touching the princess’ hand and giving it a kiss. “We promise to confiscate you in the most necessary way” he murmured, soft enough to hear just to deescalate the situation. When he finished, the princess’ anger disintegrated and she just giggled to herself while Rui went to pull her away.
You, on the other hand, he noticed your hand trembling. He usually would’ve just scolded you for almost losing a patron, but with the way you looked like you’re about to cry. He decided to go against it and usher you to the side, where no eyes can watch and judge.
”Are you okay?” he asked, sharp enough to make it not sound that he has a soft spot for you. Tears started to accumulate into your eyes, not used to fucking up things for yourself. “I am so sorry” you sob quietly, wiping your tears with your fingers. “I got overwhelmed-”
“You don’t need to explain yourself” he said, looking away, he leaned on the wall. “It’s your first day,” he pulls out a pack of cigars, and shook it a bit for one to go out. “Things are bound to not go your way when you’re just starting out.”
Offering the cigar to you. He noticed the way your eyes widen, and immediately shook. “Not a smoker?” he asked, as you continued to wipe your tears. “No… I’m still sorry for causing trouble, are you taking a break?” you asked, grabbing your napkin, it looked quite girlish. Maybe it came from your girlfriend?
Whatever. Why is he so interesting in knowing about your life? he shouldn’t be. He lit up his cigarette, going out to the side where there’s an opening but not visible to the princesses being served by the other hosts.
“I decided to help you out before you made yourself a fool there” he answered rather harshly, taking a slow drag and letting the remnants of burnt cigar fall down from a high height. You just stood there, watching, or observing him. “Do you not interact with women occasionally? friends? sisters? mothers?” he asked, glancing back at you while his body still remains in the same position.
“No..” you admitted, “But they’re not the only ones I get embarrassed around, it’s people in general” you continued, fidgeting with your fingers. “I’m sorry for keeping you here Tomoya” you bowed once again. “You’ll hurt your back bowing so low” he chuckled to himself as he taps the cigar on the edge. “Learn to be confident”
Why is he giving advice to the enemy? but either way, with your performance being so poorly, their reputation might get tarnished, so he guessed it’s better to give advice. “I’ll let you in on some advice” he said, finishing his smoke and walking towards you.
You caught the whiff of cigarettes on him, he grabs a perfume in his pocket, spraying it on himself to hide the scent. When he was taking long strides to you, it made you unconsciously back away. Sure, this isn’t your first rodeo on men invading your personal space, but the way he was staring at you got your heart jumping out.
He didn’t care though, he got you on the wall, he places his hand near the side your head before he leans to your ear, breath warm on it causing you to shudder. “How about you try and watch from other hosts like us so you can catch on what the princesses ‘really’ want?”
It almost felt like he purred that word into your ear, causing your breath to hitch, “yes” you mumbled, voice a bit too high pitched. Satisfied he pulled away, pushing you out of the “break down room” or whatever. “Then that’s it, go on rookie. Don’t disappoint me.” he said, before you could even turn around, he already closed the door, occupying the space used by other hosts.
“Try and watch…” you thought as you huffed, slapping your cheeks for determination. You’ll try looking at how Rui and Ed do it, so far, they’re the ones with customers already. Seia too!
As you left, taking his advice to heart, he stood there, frozen near the door. He groaned, scratching his head. “Shit” he hissed to himself. He didn’t know what spell you just placed on him to have this immediate soft spot with the way you cried. Did you remind him of his sister that he loved so much?
He doesn’t fucking know. Either way, In the first day, you didn’t get a princess…
But you got a prince.
As the months continued, he started seeing improvements on you. Well, more like a Tiktok video ended up going viral with you dancing with a famous influencer. It got him overthinking if the guy was your boyfriend because of how handsy he was with you. Is the guy gay? ugh.
When he clocked in, he didn’t realize how big of the influence Leo Kurosagi had, when a bunch of women were piled up in your spot, eager to see you in the flesh, the host that Leo personally vouched as a good friend of his?
He clicked his tounge, glaring at the door. A man that he can’t beat, someone you’re close with that’s more famous than him.
Why are you eager to learn his ways when you can just ask a man like that?
He couldn’t help but feel a bitter ache in his chest about it. Before work started, all of the hosts were gathered around to give a few reminders, and he warned you that the customers outside were mostly coming for you.
He wonders if it’s because of his advice or what. When words of encouragement were passed from one host to another, you, who was beside him, glanced his way.
“Let’s do our best Tomoya” you said, flashing him the cutest smile he’d ever seen, making his own mysterious and lone wolf personality falter.
“…You too” he answered rather meekly, trying to balance himself from getting blown away by his own feelings.
Yes, he knows he’s falling for you.
He couldn’t keep his eyes away from you for one second. He even thought he was getting away glancing at you all the time so discreetly, but women in general are observant and he got one of his princesses pissed because of it.
“Tomoya!” they huffed and puffed, “you’ve been staring at that host for so long! you’re not giving me any attention” she crossed her arms, looking away with a gentle pout. He scratched his head and tried his best to go back to his one-dimensional personality to woo the woman, but she wasn’t buying it. Standing up and walking out.
A first time he flunked a princess, all because he was worried for you. He sighed, deciding to stand up and walk into the break room for now.
While you were entertaining the princesses. you noticed Tamayo going to the break room, looking dejected, with the princess he’s entertaining huffing at the side with the bartender. Once you’re done with a few princesses, you had to take a quick break, managing to slip into the break room.
Tomoya was slouching there, looking drained, so you take it upon yourself to brew him coffee, maybe get a snack first.
But before you could even do that, his tired voice rang throughout the room. “Fawn, don’t bother” he said, putting his arm down to look at you. “We’ve been drinking beer and soda for the whole day you think I want to get something to eat now?” he chuckles, seeing the way you turned flustered, looking like a deer caught in headlights.
“What else can I do to help?” you asked, deciding to sit beside him. “We’re still on the clock; I thought maybe coffee could help you spring back up”
” I wish” he laughs, deciding to stare at the ceiling. “I just got distracted” he muttered, thinking you didn’t hear him, but you did.
“By what?” you probed. His cheeks turned a bit red, before looking away. “You suck at being a host” he said out of nowhere. You stiffen, frowning before looking down at your lap. “I’m trying” you tried to defend yourself. “I didn’t know I was getting in the way a lot,”
Wrong fucking move Tamayo, he thought to himself, mentally spiking his brain like a volleyball. “I didn’t mean-” his words died down causing him to groan in frustration. “You’re improving, don’t worry”
“But you said-”
” I just, couldn’t stop worrying about you” he cut you off, causing you to peel your eyes away from your lap back at his face. “I was worried you were getting overwhelmed and ...” he crossed his arms, still not looking at you but even without it you can see how his ears were flushed red. “I thought maybe I can go finish on my princesses and try to woo yours, so they pick me”
” So that I could get rest?” you asked
“So that you can get a rest” he affirmed, voice soft a contrast to his persona as a host, this made you smile, out of everything, the crazy missions you go to, the incompetence that you feel when you’re surrounded by non-human ability-stricken ghouls. This man was clueless about that world, a human, just like you.
Of course, you can’t help but feel a bit of warmth being able to finally communicate with someone that was powerless like you. Just… normal. “You’re funny” you chuckle, causing him to glare at you confused. “Wanting you to get rest is funny?”
You nudge his sides, making him grunt. “You want Harasaka to flame you again?” you teased causing him to stand up and just stretch.
“You’re right, he’d go “Why are you two in the break room again? if you don’t go out and entertain the princesses, you’ll start making us lose money” the way he was impersonating your manager made you both laugh.
“Real funny, isn’t it?” you froze, hearing the door creak open, and Harasaka was there, if looks could kill… “get back to work you two”
“Yes sir” both of you said defeatedly. glancing at Tomoya, he looked like he’s feeling better, which was a relief.
After work was done, Tomoya was supposed to invite you to get dinner but he saw that you were surrounded by your “Friends” again, and that gangster wannabe glaring at him for staring at you for too long. He debated whether or not he should try and still talk with you.
In his brain, why the fuck not honestly? he thought to himself, walking towards you causing the others to open up a path for him. In this Host club, Seia aside, he’s the top 1. He shouldn’t feel like he needs to accommodate these rookies.
“Hey” he said, your eyes already fixated on him, giving him that cute smile “Hey” you said it back, his hand on your shoulder. “I think we deserve a celebratory feast for being number 2 right?” he suggested. Rui looked at him like he just snatched the person he’s been aiming for, which Tomoya knows… he just didn’t care and considered it as competition.
“Sure!” are they invited? you asked, “nope, only top two” he said in a sing song voice before dragging you away, “If they get the next top spot, I’ll bring them with me one on one”
” Oi-” Lyca tried to interrupt but Ed stopped him. “Let them be...” he smiled, leaning his head on Lyca’s shoulder. “The human’s obviously expressing some affection to our dear Inspector” he muttered, Rui’s face soured. “Huh? and he’s already making a move?”
” Maybe Lyca’s right Hosts are trash” Rui crossed his arms, watching the love of his life get taken away by another guy, worse, he’s not even a ghoul… just a host.
And yet… he saw it, the way your eyes lit up, casually saying goodbye to the three of them. Heck, you didn’t even look at him much, you just waved and both of you left.
It made his heart ache, his lips turning into a thin line that was noticed by Lyca and (probably) ignored by Ed. “You okay Blond Giggolo?” he asked, a bit worried for the reaper.
Rui snapped out of it, scratching the back of his head. “Well - can’t be helped!” he chirped, turning around to remove his Host uniform. “If cutie wants to ditch us for a dinner date with the top 1 host, we clearly couldn’t keep her eyes on us” he joked, even though it stinged his heart.
Ed liked that look though. “You’re right” he wraps his arms around Rui, leaning close to his ear. “Maybe you should step up your game… Gen” he sneered, causing Rui’s whole body to activate his fight or flight to jump away from the vampire. “Stop harassing me and go change!” he growled, making Ed laugh. Did he really think that Rui would ever succumb into thinking about stealing Honor Roll like that??
Absolutely not…!
When you left with Tomoya, he released your shoulder, only walking just besides you. “Sorry about that” he muttered, making you laugh a bit. “For what?”
” Being so forceful” he continued, he really just wanted it to be just you and him to go out. “I don’t really know if your friends trust me yet” he looked upfront, watching people… or rather, couples walking side by side, the girl holding the guy’s arm, his eyes darted back to you, hoping you’d do the same…
What is he thinking? he’s acting like some kid in high school who just got his first crush…
Which is accurate cause he’s been so focused on keepng his family alive that his lovelife was getting dust and flies hovering around it. Only you decided to awaken his desire to have a lover. “Where do you wanna go eat?” He asked, wow, he kind of sucks. He’s a host but he outright asked you what to eat. If he remembered that’s like… don’t ask what a girl wants 101 given by Leonardo cause they love it more when you know what they want first.
Yet, all of that rizz stuff flies out the moment he watches you, the red district night lights making your prettiness shine. Like a firefly he used to see back in his hometown. The type he would wait till midnight, till every light was off so that they can finally shine.
That’s… what he thought you of.
His heart flutters, cheeks turning beet red at the sight of you. Is this how the girls felt when they watch their favorite host take their seats with them? he thought, his hand twitching, aching to hold your hand.
Do it, Tomoya. He encouraged himself, yet due to him being so fixated on your hand, it suddenly vanished, as you touched his cheek with the back of your fingers, “You okay?” you asked, he was dazed, staring down at where your hand was earlier causing him to snap out of it. “Huh?”
” I said I wanted to eat something that feels celebratory” You smiled, putting your hand down to intertwine it with his. “You wanna go to the ramen shop outside?” you suggested that his eyes twinkling and softening. “Sure”
”It’s my treat” you declared, swaying both your hands together, he laughs at the audacity you have. “I think if we were in a relationship I’d be top” he joked, making you both giggle together. “No way! you’re like that tsundere!”
”tsundere?” he gasped, looking down at you before letting your hand go and pulling you by the waist. “With this waist you think you can top?” he teases, the moment he pulled you, that caused you to squeak and blush.
“That’s sensitive!” you reprimanded, making him blush a bit from the sound you made, but he pushed through, keeping one hand on your waist. “You’re so bold,” you added, but didn’t stop him.
”I thrive to dive headfirst into flirting when it comes to my clients”
”So… do i pay?” you lit up, your hand resting on his wrist instead, you two looked like lovers.
“No”
The night after, Tomoya bid farewell to you after getting you back “home” where you ushered him to go when you got nearer Darkwick.
Humming to yourself, as you walk back alone, tapping your card, the kitty meowed at you, as you pet it, you noticed a familiar blond leaning on the poll on the waiting shed. Your eyes lit up, seeing Rui there. Has he been waiting for you?
“Rui!” you called out, waving to him, he stood straight, smile not reaching to his eyes as he waves back. “Cutie!” he said cheerfully, “How was your..date?” he asked, you walked towards him, almost ready to bombard him with how your “date” went.
” He’s really nice, he bought me food and got me some take outs” you babbled, showing the plastic full of food. “He said that-” Rui already stopped listening as you enthusiastically yapped about it. How you had so much fun in just a few hours. Which he tried his hardest to make you smile before. Yet you continued frowning, of course he didn’t mind, but why does a mere human like Tomoya make you forget about your curse but when it’s him, it’s like he’s constantly reminding you of it?
”That’s great” he said, trying his best to sound like his heart wasn’t fucking breaking. But unfortunately, you, his cutie, is too observant for your own good. “What’s wrong Rui?” you asked, upsetting him, he wished he could just tell you how he felt, before you started looking like you like the guy.
“Do you like him?” he asked, his voice faltering at each word, as he noticed the difference in your scent, you didn’t smell like your usual perfume. It was more of a stronger scent. A masculine one.
Tomoya’s? Was he that close with you. You blush a bit, looking down. “I-”
”So you do” he finished, he didn’t wanna hear it. “I’m glad for you Honor Roll”
Your smile faltered, he went back to calling you Honor Roll for some reason? “Rui? what’s wrong?” before you could even touch his arm, the loud ring of the expressway came. You couldn’t see his face, as he turned a bit, “Let’s go? It’s already so late” he said, you didn’t notice the little quiver of his voice as you both board the expressway.
The whole ride felt awkward, it was rare for Rui to be so silent, arm resting on the windowsill, just watching the trees pass, waiting for the Expressway to do it’s magic. Your sweat dropped, looking at your food, trying to think about what you did. Was it because you just half-heartedly waved at them before leaving with Tomoya.
You didn’t know, you tried your best to wrack your brain but none come up. You heard Rui sigh a bit, “I’m sorry” he apologized, pressing his fingers on his nose. “I didn’t know what came over me, I’m sorry cutie” he muttered, bowing to you. This made you smile a bit.
“It’s okay-! I’m sorry” you apologized as well. “I didn’t think it through to not even say goodbye properly to all of you before leaving.” You went to rummage in your bag, grabbing a apple candy. “Here’s a token of apology” you said. Smiling at him.
You didn’t even know why he was upset, he could feel his body turning cold, finally looking at you. He accepted it. Watching the apple candy gleam under the moonlight, it felt somewhat mocking, how an apple could have made you appreciative of this man. “This looks yummy cutie”
“Thank you”
Everything went smooth for the next few days, until the death of Seia. You and the Jake found his body in such a grotesque way. When Harasaka broke the news, Tomoya’s heart dropped. He considered Seia as a competition, without him… what use does he have being here?
He looked down, noticing the way your hand was shaking. He wrapped his hand on yours, giving you a gentle squeeze. Tomoya knew you cried the whole time, eyes puffy from what you’ve seen. You weren’t close with Seia, but maybe, the guy’s wholesome personality and being a happy-go-lucky made you think of him as a close friend.
”I got you” he whispered, you gave him a slight smile , steeling yourself a bit, and going close to him. “Okay” you muttered back. Little did you know, one of the host was staring at both of you, and deciding to look away, before he hurt himself too much. You had to part ways with him for now. Needing time to focus on your mission. You hid it in the pretense of needing alone time to yourself.
And Tomoya, he knows a person needs her time, especially after something like that… He watches as more and more girls horde you. He guessed working more means you’ll be able to distract yourself from what happened. He decided that since you’re working hard… He’d work hard with you.
In the hopes that he would ask you for one thing… Tomoya stared at his breast pocket, where his resignation letter was in.
He hopes you’d come with him when the time comes. After work was done, he wanted to get your attention, till Cross went in front of him, effectively blocking his way to you while you talk to the two other guys. “Hey-” he glared at Ed, who looked behind eyes glinting under the night light. “Sorry about that, top 1” he hummed, giving him that smile that caught every princess's attention.
“We’re gonna borrow your sweetling for a bit yeah?” he turned his head back, making Tomoya felt helpless, when Ed stared at him, it caused his whole blood to freeze…
Like he was dangerous. The hand that was supposed to be back where it was, your waist, your hand didn’t make it as he walks away, tucking the resignation letter and going to Leonardo’s office first instead.
He’ll tell you next time.
You went on a meeting with the other three ghouls, as you tried to decipher with them the case. It made you rack your brain because it was a bit confusing. The ghost you saw and the time you almost died because of the girl who was apparently named Sachie… You wanted to ask Tomoya about it but Ed smoothly pushed that thought away. Telling you indirectly that he was one of the new hosts… he doesn’t know anything.
This made Tomoya’s departure more painful, when Harasaka announced it, that he’ll only be working for 2 weeks. Your hurt gaze made his heart ache that he had to look away. “I-”
” I’m leaving this biz for family reasons” he stated, finally staring at all of them - well you specifically. “Honestly, i felt pretty conflicted about it whether I should do this after claiming number one but…”
He stepped closer, putting a hand on Kaworu’s shoulder, he kept his contact with you, just like how you both first met. “I think he deserves the top 1 more than me” he gave you a small smile, but you didn’t return it back. “Tomoya-”
He leaned down to your ear, just as he did back then in the breakroom. “After work, come meet me out, I wanna talk with you” He muttered it like a secret. It felt so soft, just like the first time he did it.
Except this time, it felt more raw than the other. “I’ll try” you answered, not really sure if you can talk with him while the mission is ongoing. It pains you that you can’t tell him any details, especially when he’s been an anchor to you even if it was just a few months. That gave you your answer when the anomaly “Sachie” popped out, causing you to stiffen.
You don’t want to endanger him, He’s just a civilian, and yet he pulled away, eyes filled with love as if reminding you that this sweet dream that you’re having won’t last long, that you will have to light up the mesmer match yourself and make him forget about all of this,to make him forget about you.
All for his sake.
He walks out, looking at peace. “I’ll see you later” he mouthed, closing the door as work continued after, cause of the meeting with the ones who won’t be leaving Your spot. You didn’t have time to say goodbye, as the moment he shut the door, Harasaka started screaming. Telling a ghost to get away from him…
He waited.
Waited for you to pop out of the store, but he never saw you, he didn’t even know that Harasaka died, and that had you going with the ghouls as well. He didn’t have your contact number either. Forgetting to even ask. “Shit”
He sighed, closing his phone, should he go home? he noticed your spot was already closed. He went to go around it, seeing you, he wanted to go run up to you, till he noticed you looked scared. An arm placed around you, seemingly by Gen.
Yeah - his eyes aren’t deceiving him… That’s Gen.
His brows furrowed, he didn’t want to doubt you. He didn’t know what happened so Maybe - just maybe that he was misunderstanding. Yeah, you wouldn’t do that…
The next day, he saw you again, but this time, you weren’t going to him, you were looking troubled, getting help from either one of the three hosts you came with. He really wants to help, if you just let him in, whatever you were thinking about he could help.
It turned him sour, causing him to glare at the other hosts instead of focusing on Purin, the princess he’s supposed to care for. “That Gen…” he snarked. Purin pouted. “Why are you so mad at him, focus on me!” she whined, but it was just static in his ears. He continued to stay in a bad mood. While you were busy with the mission. Hoping to find a way to decipher it.
He tried. He really tried, yet whenever he tried to get you alone, the one or another was blocking him. As if whatever problem they had was more important.
”Fawn” he walked to you, the breakroom being a silent sanctuary when the hosts are overwhelmed. “Are you oka-”
“Kawuro” Harasaka opened the door. “Table six, go immediately, VIP seat” he called bluntly before closing the door. It made you stand up, brushing your hand with his. “I’ll talk with you when I can Tomoya” you smiled, although fakely. Within that few seconds, he noticed how tired you were. Eyebags deep under your eyes. He knew you were juggling school with work…
It caused his heart to ache, effectively shutting him up as the door closed with a soft click.
He felt like you were closing your heart to him. Shutting him out. And he doesn’t blame you. After all, why do the hosts kept dying, and you managed to witness one of them to perish.
He bit his lip to the point it bled, as Harasaka called him, summoned by another princess
It went on for the last few days of his work. After that, all of you were told that the next day (which is the last day of his work) was free, and it was supposed to make him happy, but not being able to see you filled him with dread. Sure, it hurts him plenty and upset him that he couldn’t say his plans with you properly.
Back when his feeling started developing for you, it was great. He started to think that if he asked you to run away with him, live with him and be together. You’d surely say yes.
But now… he doesn’t know, but that doesn’t matter, this time he’ll ask you.
You and the others suddenly started running towards the highest floor, the roof top, causing him to look confused and run with you. “Fawn where are you going?” he managed to ask, running to the steps with you.
” Leonardo” you answered; adrenaline pumping as you slam the door open. “He’s in danger- wait!” you screeched as Tomoya noticed that he was reaching the edge of the tower.
“Leo!” he gasped, eyes zeroing at his boss, but before he could even bolt there, a ghostly woman came, stopping… whatever was luring Leonardo in. Tomoya glanced at Jake, who just had turned into some kind of wolf
“What..?” He was lost, and it was irritating him. “Fawn, what-?” he tried to grab you, only for you to unconsciously pull your hand away, putting it on your chest. “Thank god” you muttered, looking at him, “That’s” you panic a bit, looking at Lyca.
”Oh don’t worry” Ed said, watching the scene unfold as Leonardo falls on the floor. “We’ll just make him forget, right? Honor roll?” he places his hands in his pockets. Tomoya furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
“Honor roll?” he repeated back, looking at you. “Isn’t that a bit too feminine of a name…?”
And then it hit him.
You weren’t just a feminine boy… you were actually a woman. “Oh-”
You didn’t really expect such a relaxed reaction from it, then again , it wasn’t that big of a news that you were crossdressing as a man. “I’m sorry for deceiving you” He shook his head, laughing a little cause he did piece two and two together. “I was pretty much ready to be gay” he joked, “I still feel the same.. either way” he muttered, “What’s going on, Honor roll?” he asked, finally being able to talk to you. “You can tell me”
You frowned, as he takes a hold of your hand. You looked down, instead of feeling your heart fluttering at the gentle handsome smile he gave you…
You just felt dread. You looked at Lyca, Rui and Ed. Hoping that their expression said anything but all of them looked.. off. As if rejecting the thought of ever letting a normal human in the world of anomalies/ghouls and what not.
You were torn. But not for long, as you held his hand back, taking a deep breath as you. Even if it means that he’ll lose his memories, at least you’ll be able to know that he existed to be your.. friend. In some way.
“Let’s talk downstairs, yeah?” you answered, giving him a reassuring smile. He nods as all of you make your way downstairs.
While doing so, you could feel the worried gazes of your friends behind you, but you didn’t want to tell them the reason. The Mesmer match in your breast pocket was ready.
This mission is about to be over anyways. If you manage to actually uncover who the killer is by tomorrow. Tomoya can go back to his sister, without you in it.
You sat down with him where he’s usually summoned by princesses. This time, not as the host, but as his princess. Leonardo wanted to give both of you privacy, especially after nearly dying. Your friends deciding that since you’re going to do the deed. You might as well enjoy another human being that is magicless, similar to you.
He was… amazing, you realize why the girls kept wanting him. “I’m sorry that I am too broke to try and buy your time with me” you teased him as you drink the tea he made from the break room. He laughs, “For you Honor roll, anything’s free” he flirted causing you to take a deep breath just to relax.
”You damn flirt” scowling, you glare at him playfully, which he flashed his smile against. Unfortunately for you, you lost. You ended up telling him about your story. How you ended up in Darkwick, stopping from time to time to let him process the information.
“That’s.. tough” he frowned, the tea he made was already cold just from eagerly wanting to hear from you. “You’re cursed” he looked down, “and you have a year left?” he continued, feeling bad for you. “Oh no it’s fine,” You lied, “the ghouls you met are trying to help me with it”
”But like you said” he looked back at you “There’s no progress for 5 months already” pointing it out, you flinched from what he said. “Yeah- But that doesn’t mean i’ll stop trying, even if the chances are slim to 0.01%”
Tomoya knows he should be happy that you’re telling him all this but…
He can’t shake off the feeling that you were keeping one thing you’re hiding from him. And he was not stupid.
“You’re freely telling me everything.” he blurted it out, gripping on the little cup. Hoping that he probably has it wrong. “Are you going to erase my memory? about you”
He finally decided to face you, “About us?”
This caused you to stiffen up, guilt etched on your face, causing you to avoid his eye contact. “Please” he said, voice laced with sadness. “Please look at me and answer me Honor roll”
”Am i going to forget about you?” He asked again.
You bit your lip, darting your eyes anywhere but him, but with his voice sounding so desperate you can’t ignore him for so long. “… yes”
A wave of silence washed over the table where you two were in. Tomoya chuckles to himself. “I guess It was never meant to be” he said to himself bitterly, but it was loud enough for you to hear.
“What do you mean?” you asked, your heart breaking at each and every word he just said. “What do you mean by that Tomoya?”
“I wanted to ask if you wanted to quit with me” he admitted. “You were with them, - your ghoul friends”
“I’m sorry-” you choked out, tears finally starting to stroll down your cheeks, causing Tomoya to panic. Making a girl cry is the least he wants to do.
So he breaks his own rule, standing up and going to the other side. Near where you are. Even if it meant this would be the last time he’d ever be able to hold you.
He pulled you into his arms, crushing you with the weight of him. You felt the warmth of his body, as you wrapped your arms around him. “Tomoya - I’m so sorry” you buried your face into his shoulder. “I didn’t mean to-”
”It’s okay” he soothed, “don’t cry- don’t cry” he rubs your back. “It’ll be okay, we’ll see each other again” or at least he hoped so. If you truly are the one for him, then fate will allow it to happen once more.
You calmed down as he continued his repeated phrases, that was luring you to relax, to rest in the arms of the human you ended up liking. “You have to do it soon right?” he asked, pulling away from you but ending up holding your hand instead. You didn’t want to. You wanted him to be around at least.
“Yeah-” you grabbed the Mesmer match with your free hand. “Do you want to do it now?” he asked, “So that, later, you wouldn’t feel hurt that much?”
You didn't want to, you didn’t want to, you didn’t want to.
But the way he was looking at you, like he was prepared himself, and just waiting for you to be ready, forced you to put on a brave face. “Okay” you answered, gripping on his hand a bit too tightly, but he didn’t care, he wanted to feel you one last time, just enough that even when you leave him, he’d still yearn for you.
The woman that he ended up loving.
You lit up the match, as it shone a beautiful small fire, even he admired it, another thing he admired aside from you. “Honor roll?” he called you out as you got distracted by the fire.
“Yes-?” you gasped, feeling his hand touch your cheek and he pulls you for a kiss, a soft one. You stiffen up, feeling your heart break as tears start to fall down your cheeks again. You kissed him back, gripping on his hand, wanting to leave a mark on him.
When you pulled away, the smoke started precipitating, covering the small area that surrounded the both of you. “I love you,” he said, breathless, smiling as he pressed his forehead to yours. “Come back to me, when you’re ready Honor -” he said, but stopped as his memories started turning foggy.
You sobbed as the smoke envelopes him, “I.. - I will” you reassured one last time, before letting him go and slipping away before he woke up from the short slumber caused by the mesmer match.
“Roll…” Tomoya blinked, confused as he looks around. “Strange…” he thought to himself he’s a picky sleeper so dozing off where he’s working was odd. “I don’t remember being seated where the princesses are..”
Fin
You've spent your whole life trying to stay human.
That's why you resisted every temptation. Every urge.
But tonight is different. The hunger isn't within your control.
It threatens everything you know.
And for the first time... you're not sure you can stay yourself.
A shadow approaches you. You don't have to look to know who it is.
“Stop. Don’t get any closer.” Your voice strains, barely holding together as you fight against the hunger clawing at your chest.
But his footsteps keep coming closer.
“S-Stop.”
Why won’t he listen?
Why won’t he run?
He kneels down beside you anyway.
“MC,” his voice is gentle. “You can bite me.”
“No,” You shake your head weakly. “I can’t!”
Because if I do. I won’t be human anymore.
His arms slip around you before you can pull away.
“It must’ve been hard. All these years,” he murmurs. “You don’t have to hold back anymore.”
Your breath breaks. Tears roll down your cheeks.
You don’t deserve that kindness.
You really don’t.
And yet–
Your body lurches forward.
Knocking him onto his back.
He doesn't resist one bit.
Now you’re above him. Hands pressed on the cold hard ground beside his shoulders. He's so close.
And yet, your mouth… It won’t open.
Your fangs ache, pressing against your lips, but something inside you still resists.
Tears fall freely now, dotting his shirt like rain.
“I’m sorry, Haku…”
“MC.” His brows furrow. His voice so warm it hurts.
His hand comes up, stroking your head just once, before pulling you, guiding you closer.
And closer.
To his neck.
You hesitate one last time before your fangs puncture his skin lightly. Warm liquid gathers around your lips.
But the moment it touches your tongue— it’s over.
Everything dissolves. Every thought. Every doubt.
You sink your teeth in further.
You gulp.
Your tears blur your vision, mixing with the blood you can’t stop taking.
“Wow princess, you really know how to take the lead.”
His voice is light like always, but there’s strain to it.
You hear it. You feel it.
He must be in pain. How can he not?
Guilt twists your chest.
As if he senses it, his hands moves up.
Slowly. Gently. He rubs your back in circles to soothe you.
“It's a little painful but that’s ok. I'm enjoying it.”

TKDB Ghouls as Filipino students
Jin Kamurai
3rd Year: BS in Business Administration minor in Economics
Studies in UP - Diliman, you could never see him walking around, he goes straight back at his family’s nearby house (which was purchased by his parents for convenience)
Drives his own car, sometimes fetches and helps you go to your own school with it when he was courting you
Popular, aside from his looks, he’s part of the student council and makes sure that everything is in order.
Secretly likes to eat tusok tusok but his family’s guards keeps a close eye on him so he has to be discreet in buying cause they’re gonna end up bitching to him about his health
Smokes freely though(??)
Gets confessed on a lot, uses the excuse that he’s dating someone (you) or that he’s too busy for love (literally is courting you though??)
Straight A (90%+) all grades, he rarely studies either, it’s all stock knowledge this man is a PRODIGY
There was one time he aura farmed so hard that he turned cold to you causing you to misunderstand that he needed space (he did not) sulked the whole day in his house and ordered (demanded) you to come to his “Dorm” if you needed money
Tohma Ishibashi:
3rd year: BS in Statistics
Used to study in NU Manila, transferred to UPD in the same course (his reasoning was cause he thought he wasn’t thriving in that school any longer daw)
Works for Jin, sometimes as a househusband (this man is a devoted/j)
Knows Jin likes tusok tusok, often sneaks to buy for him since the man can’t be bothered to go out and graces others with his presence apparently
Speaks clean english, rarely speaks in tagalog unless it’s needed, for example when he takes a general filipino subject
He actually was the one that got Jin into smoking, it was unfortunate the king got his bad habit, then again he came from a group of delinquents back in his previous school (even tho Alan doesn’t smoke)
Has plenty of connections but uses it only if it benefits everyone.
Kaito Fuji:
2ND year: Bachelor of Science in Accountancy
Polytechnic University of the Philippines Main Campus
How did he get to that course during enrollment? He has no idea, at that time his placement was high enough to be able to enroll cause his first thought was accountancy guys were considered popular to the girls
He thought he’d have time to party with it and boast that he was in the course without fully knowing the consequences
The moment his semester started, his social life plummeted
Cusses plenty, you see him out often trying to party then when you remind him an assignment/exam that he’s gonna take tomorrow his whole face turns pale
“Kaya yan” he’d try his best to convince himself that it can be clutched after going rogue for another party
Next day? Doomed. Woke up late, had to rush, and was still 15 minutes late
How he passes is a mystery, Even for a conyo boy wannabe like him
SLUT Reader
You thought that the curse implanted on you was safe since you weren’t really feeling any other side effects. So you didn’t mind that the curse wasn’t breaking. Yuri, the darkwick hospital and heck even Cornelius along the other staffs told you that for now, it’s considered as safe.
Until you realize what your curse actually does when you got closer to ghouls that you usually interacted with
It started with Kaito and Lucas, when they came to check on you after you missed school. Knocking at the door in your bedroom, you couldn’t even stop them from coming in. “Honor Roll?” Lucas talked first, the door creaking open but you didn’t care at this point, your body too hot to give a shit.
“Kaito, I don’t think she looks well” Lucas muttered, walking towards you and feeling your forehead with the back of his hand, Kaito went to the other side, leaning down to you, about to touch your cheek, till you let out the most high pitch moan that caused both of them to flinch and get flustered by how it sounded so lewd.
“Are you.. okay?” Kaito asked, cheeks beet red, the moment you cracked open your eyes, they both look so pretty... have you always felt so electric around them? you reached out to both of them, grabbing their wrists, the blanket falling down revealing your revealing pajamas. Looking like a low-cut outfit. “Please” you whimpered.
Lucas’ stared at you, his dick twitching at how vulnerable you sound... for some reason, he couldn’t think straight, the way your gaze seemed to hypnotize him. “Honor Roll-” Kaito blushed furiously, stuttering a bit, but he wasn’t pulling away like he usually does, he’s going closer, the bed dipping down while his eyes never left you.
You never felt so much like a slut, Lucas seeing Kaito dip in, leaning to kiss you, made him think of it as an invitation and kiss your hand like a gentleman, kissing from that part up to your arm and shoulder, both men kissing each dip of your shoulder while gently pulling your shirt down, revealing your chest.
You were getting so incredibly wet, shuddering at the touches the two men are doing. “Are you sure about this?” Lucas pants into your ear, groping one of your breast and swiping his hand on your nipple causing you to jolt.
”Oh, you’re sensitive” You heard Kaito mutter into your shoulder, watching the way your body reacts to just simple touches. You huff, pressing your tits on their hands, deciding that you’re going to grab their strained cocks, making them both groan.
“Shit” Lucas cussed, sweat dropping down his cheek, he was so affected by your touch that it made him cum a bit. Kaito was busy kissing your shoulder to your collarbone while rutting his hard clothed cock on your touch, you wrapped your hands on their shaft.
Oh how easy it is to make these two moan...
“Please...” you grabbed both their roaming hands, pushing it down to your shorts, Kaito went first, clearly dazed, letting his instincts take over, he directly pressed his middle finger on your clit, making you let out a broken moan. He sneered at your collarbone, letting out a hum as he rubbed your clit more, you grabbed his arm, grinding your clit down his finger. Lucas went down further, pushing your panty to the side and sliding one finger inside. “Tight...” he accidentally said his thought outloud causing you to whine. “That’s our girl” Kaito purred into your ear, yet he’s no better himself, his dick leaking precum as you play with their cocks.
“I want in - hurry” you choked out a moan, trying to grind on Kaito’s finger while riding Lucas plunging one. “You can’t take both of us” Lucas interjected, unzipping his pants and letting you feel his throbbing dick. “I need confirmation that you want this” he asked, trying to keep a bit of sanity before he turns into a man that thinks only of plunging his cock in that wet heat of yours.
”Dammit!” You cussed, glaring at Lucas between your shuddering moans cause Kaito was not being kind to your clit. “I do! I wouldn’t spread my leg like a slut for you both!”
A/N: This one is for april fools! I... never managed to finish it in april but hey, maybe I can next april (I'm kidding I'm kidding i'll finish it)
In one of your classes, a messenger cat came in, sitting on your lap after lecture was done, rubbing on your arm while holding a extravagant letter. “What is this?” you asked the kitty, but it only meowed in response.
Grabbing the letter, you opened it, “Dear Honor Roll, there is an emergency that we need your help with, please come meet me in the faculty office. Sincerely, Cornelius” frowning, you placed the letter in your breastpocket, grabbing your things up, and making your way out of the room. Hopefully the situation isn’t too drastic, but with these types of letters cornelius sends, it’s highly unlikely it’s not big. When you were making your way through the hallway. Head clouded with worry hoping that whatever problem darkwick got AGAIN was something you can take care of.
Suddenly you felt something firm hit your face, causing you to stumble, expecting to be hit head first on the floor, you tried to close your eyes and prepare for impact only to feel a firm grip on your waist.
"Are you okay, cutie?" a familiar voice asked, but you were sure this person doesn't talk like that...
"I'm okay.." You answered, opening your eyes, to see.. Jo? No wait.. Kaito??
He had a smile that didn’t quite match his usual vibe, confident, handsome... you never thought you’d thought of him that way but here you are.
His hand on your waist, he pushes the hair covering your face. “If I wasn’t there to catch you, that pretty face might have gotten scratched.” He gently released you, letting you stabilize yourself. “we simply can’t have that, can we?” he winks causing you to turn a bit flustered. “Thank you, Kaito...”
He seemed to notice the distress on your face. “I’m guessing something’s up?” he asked, looking worried “That look doesn’t look like you’re in a good spot cutie”
“cutie...” you thought to yourself, glancing at Kaito, he didn’t even look flustered. “It’s nothing,” you lied, and Kaito sighs, giving you a head pat. “I won’t force you, but just know I’ll be there when you need me” he reassured you, a gentle smile coming back at his face that replaced the frown he had.
There’s something wrong with him...
When you’ve reached the room; there was Cornelius, Professor Moby, Hyde and Dante was already there. Seems like they were only waiting for you.
”Honor Roll!” Cornelius chirped, hands crossed while sitting down on a chair way too big for him. “Good Morning” you greeted, feeling nervous about the whole thing. “What’s going on?”
”Just another mishap caused by an anomaly again” Hyde chided in, letting himself get eaten by the couch. “Honestly! It’s low leveled, but quite dangerous since it’s also affecting the ghouls”
”I thought they’re immune already! I can’t handle Edward!” Moby cried out, fake tears(?) falling down his octopus face. You felt a bit confused, not really sure if it’s a high stakes problem or what?
“Why was I called?” you asked, sure, maybe it’s the fact that it affected ghouls, but knowing them, they usually find a solution in record time. “Thing is” Cornelius’ sweat dropped, “The anomaly makes you switch personalities, and it goes by random”
“What?” You stared dumbfounded. Dante sighs, looking up at you, “For example, you and cornelius ‘switch’ personalities, that’s the best we can explain it”
“How am i going to help if they’re all affected?” you felt a cat rub against your leg, as an attempt to ease you, probably noticing your sign of distress. “If they switched personalities, won’t I need to go back to square one because they’re different?” you continued.
“Not necessarily” Dante sighs, thinking about how he’s going to deal with the ghouls assigned under the houses he’s supervising/ “They didn’t change professions, or life style, the only thing changed is how they interpret those around them.”
“Still...” you already have a hard time trying to get along with unique personalities like Taiga, or Shion, those crazy eccentrics.
“Every curse has it’s weaknesses” Cornelius placed his elbows on the table, hands cupped together as if he’s thinking. “The reason I asked you to come here was to find a way to-”
”Yeah yeah, I’ll go around the houses, find a way to break the curse. Got it” you muttered, tone flat, with a hint of annoyance. Why are they always pushing you to do these missions? Would this help break the curse?
Cornelius frowns whilst the other faculty members went silent but that didn’t deter you to shift your tone into something softer. “So, I’m guessing, I’m alone in this one?” you asked, feeling a headache coming. Cornelius scratches his cheek, forcing a smile “...Yes., will that be okay?” he asked.
“Will that be okay?” echoed in your head. Making your rage rapidly rise up. “Yes” you forced a polite tone, “Of course” you turned around, asking that to a person without any stigma that can protect them. “I’ll start preparing, thank you”
You were exhausted, back to back missions, without any rest, when you thought it was okay since the ghouls weren’t calling you to come join and be their inspector, this comes up.
How great.
Ghouls as your ex-boyfriend
Leo Kurosagi:
He’s a pain after your breakup
Why would you do that? his jokes went way too far to the point he pranked you into thinking he cheated on you then laughs at your reaction when you started breaking down, saying that he just wanted to see your reaction
Of course, he didn’t laugh the whole time, the moment you went from looking down to gazing into his eyes. Leo’s heart dropped seeing the way he fucked up, the gaze you gave him made his whole body shudder, knowing he royally fucked up.
“Whoa -” he laughs a bit nervously, leaning to touch your cheek, but you slapped it away, “We’re done” you decided on the spot, if he’s capable of disrespecting you like this, he’s capable of ACTUALLY cheating.
“What??” he asked out in disbelief, “Hear me out” he demanded, as you walked away, “Honor Roll!” he glared at your back, “Don’t you make a decision that I don’t get a say on!” he added, voice growing louder, desperate, but his feet remained stuck, frozen, heart beating fast as he watches the love of his life walk away.
How is he as a ex-boyfriend? he stalks you, when he sees you, he walks to you, hand playing with the pack of gum on his fingertips. “hey” he says in a singsong voice, draping his arm on your shoulder causing you to stiffen, “Did you miss me?” “Fuck you” you pushed his arm off you, his touches feeling like needles poking your skin despite wearing something covering your shoulder.

Pairing: Tomoya x FEM Reader, One sided Rui Mizuki x FEM Reader
Content Warning: ANGST NO COMFORT just slight!! AND SPOILERS FOR HAUNTED HOST CLUB (OBSCUARY EPISODE) if you have NOT read it, DO NOT READ. HEAVY SPOILERS.
A/n: HI, omg I finally managed to FINISH SOMETHING??? HI HI GUYS I MISSED ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!! I hope you like this cause I didn't wanna beta read it, I'm sorry! so this is just raw writing power. My bad for the multiple errors, I went with what I can write so yes! I'll try catching up more writing during break, I love you all. Enjoy! I hope yall like Tomoya, he was so cute, maybe a bit OOC cause we never really established what he was honestly.
There was an odd feeling that Tomoya felt when he saw the new batch of newbies after Seia came inside the employee’s prep room first. His eyes usually would ignore the way they look at him like he’s a challenge (which he is). They’re all competing for the best hosts here every 6 months. Since Seia just decided to announce his head as the target, you’d expect that these newbies would glare at him…
But no, one guy looked at him like he’s asking to be entertained, the blonde one looks just happy to meet new hosts, one of them look pissed off though, he’s unsure if it’s cause of the hierarchy here. Whatever the reason is. He already despises the guy.
Clicking his tounge, he didn’t wanna handle idiots who doesn’t understand the industry. His eyes darted from each host, till it reached to you. While Seia was busy yapping to the blondie. You on the other hand, look incredibly basic.
But for some reason, he couldn’t stop observing you keenly, like he discovered a new type of man in this field. He’s always surrounded by both, pretty girls, pretty boys. Heck, of course he’s one himself.
But your beauty precedes every visual appeal that his eyes had observed. You look basic… but in an endearing way.
When you noticed him staring at you. It caused you to feel a bit shy, but bold enough to flash a sweet smile. He stiffened a bit causing him to look away immediately.
“Just don’t get in my way” he scoffed, leaving as Seia tried to get him back to greet the newbies.
He didn’t need to greet them. They all leave anyways. When work started, you were the only one without requests. It made him pity you honestly, the poor little host who can’t get princesses. You could’ve just worked at the kitchen and you’ll be just fine, not being pushed by others to go serve drinks or be a shadow of other hosts.
When you fell down, spilling the drink on one of the princesses, he saw the way your eyes looked so guilt stricken. Apologizing to the angry patron while the other host, which is Gen tried to pull the princess away from you.
“I - I’m so sorry!” you squeaked out, bowing so low that he flinched at the future back pain you’re gonna get afterwards. Placing his cup down, he flashed a charming smile at his princess. “I’ll have to go help the little fawn there” he gestured by tilting his head seemingly pointing at you. “Oh! poor boy…” the princess said, watching “Go ahead!” she chirps, heck seeing him eager to help another host got her swooning, women are weird.
Tomoya stood up, walking towards you, he clasped his hand on your shoulder, pulling you to sit up straight as he signaled Rui to get a staff to get the princess new fancy clothes. “We apologize for our new fawn” he said, touching the princess’ hand and giving it a kiss. “We promise to confiscate you in the most necessary way” he murmured, soft enough to hear just to deescalate the situation. When he finished, the princess’ anger disintegrated and she just giggled to herself while Rui went to pull her away.
You, on the other hand, he noticed your hand trembling. He usually would’ve just scolded you for almost losing a patron, but with the way you looked like you’re about to cry. He decided to go against it and usher you to the side, where no eyes can watch and judge.
”Are you okay?” he asked, sharp enough to make it not sound that he has a soft spot for you. Tears started to accumulate into your eyes, not used to fucking up things for yourself. “I am so sorry” you sob quietly, wiping your tears with your fingers. “I got overwhelmed-”
“You don’t need to explain yourself” he said, looking away, he leaned on the wall. “It’s your first day,” he pulls out a pack of cigars, and shook it a bit for one to go out. “Things are bound to not go your way when you’re just starting out.”
Offering the cigar to you. He noticed the way your eyes widen, and immediately shook. “Not a smoker?” he asked, as you continued to wipe your tears. “No… I’m still sorry for causing trouble, are you taking a break?” you asked, grabbing your napkin, it looked quite girlish. Maybe it came from your girlfriend?
Whatever. Why is he so interesting in knowing about your life? he shouldn’t be. He lit up his cigarette, going out to the side where there’s an opening but not visible to the princesses being served by the other hosts.
“I decided to help you out before you made yourself a fool there” he answered rather harshly, taking a slow drag and letting the remnants of burnt cigar fall down from a high height. You just stood there, watching, or observing him. “Do you not interact with women occasionally? friends? sisters? mothers?” he asked, glancing back at you while his body still remains in the same position.
“No..” you admitted, “But they’re not the only ones I get embarrassed around, it’s people in general” you continued, fidgeting with your fingers. “I’m sorry for keeping you here Tomoya” you bowed once again. “You’ll hurt your back bowing so low” he chuckled to himself as he taps the cigar on the edge. “Learn to be confident”
Why is he giving advice to the enemy? but either way, with your performance being so poorly, their reputation might get tarnished, so he guessed it’s better to give advice. “I’ll let you in on some advice” he said, finishing his smoke and walking towards you.
You caught the whiff of cigarettes on him, he grabs a perfume in his pocket, spraying it on himself to hide the scent. When he was taking long strides to you, it made you unconsciously back away. Sure, this isn’t your first rodeo on men invading your personal space, but the way he was staring at you got your heart jumping out.
He didn’t care though, he got you on the wall, he places his hand near the side your head before he leans to your ear, breath warm on it causing you to shudder. “How about you try and watch from other hosts like us so you can catch on what the princesses ‘really’ want?”
It almost felt like he purred that word into your ear, causing your breath to hitch, “yes” you mumbled, voice a bit too high pitched. Satisfied he pulled away, pushing you out of the “break down room” or whatever. “Then that’s it, go on rookie. Don’t disappoint me.” he said, before you could even turn around, he already closed the door, occupying the space used by other hosts.
“Try and watch…” you thought as you huffed, slapping your cheeks for determination. You’ll try looking at how Rui and Ed do it, so far, they’re the ones with customers already. Seia too!
As you left, taking his advice to heart, he stood there, frozen near the door. He groaned, scratching his head. “Shit” he hissed to himself. He didn’t know what spell you just placed on him to have this immediate soft spot with the way you cried. Did you remind him of his sister that he loved so much?
He doesn’t fucking know. Either way, In the first day, you didn’t get a princess…
But you got a prince.
As the months continued, he started seeing improvements on you. Well, more like a Tiktok video ended up going viral with you dancing with a famous influencer. It got him overthinking if the guy was your boyfriend because of how handsy he was with you. Is the guy gay? ugh.
When he clocked in, he didn’t realize how big of the influence Leo Kurosagi had, when a bunch of women were piled up in your spot, eager to see you in the flesh, the host that Leo personally vouched as a good friend of his?
He clicked his tounge, glaring at the door. A man that he can’t beat, someone you’re close with that’s more famous than him.
Why are you eager to learn his ways when you can just ask a man like that?
He couldn’t help but feel a bitter ache in his chest about it. Before work started, all of the hosts were gathered around to give a few reminders, and he warned you that the customers outside were mostly coming for you.
He wonders if it’s because of his advice or what. When words of encouragement were passed from one host to another, you, who was beside him, glanced his way.
“Let’s do our best Tomoya” you said, flashing him the cutest smile he’d ever seen, making his own mysterious and lone wolf personality falter.
“…You too” he answered rather meekly, trying to balance himself from getting blown away by his own feelings.
Yes, he knows he’s falling for you.
He couldn’t keep his eyes away from you for one second. He even thought he was getting away glancing at you all the time so discreetly, but women in general are observant and he got one of his princesses pissed because of it.
“Tomoya!” they huffed and puffed, “you’ve been staring at that host for so long! you’re not giving me any attention” she crossed her arms, looking away with a gentle pout. He scratched his head and tried his best to go back to his one-dimensional personality to woo the woman, but she wasn’t buying it. Standing up and walking out.
A first time he flunked a princess, all because he was worried for you. He sighed, deciding to stand up and walk into the break room for now.
While you were entertaining the princesses. you noticed Tamayo going to the break room, looking dejected, with the princess he’s entertaining huffing at the side with the bartender. Once you’re done with a few princesses, you had to take a quick break, managing to slip into the break room.
Tomoya was slouching there, looking drained, so you take it upon yourself to brew him coffee, maybe get a snack first.
But before you could even do that, his tired voice rang throughout the room. “Fawn, don’t bother” he said, putting his arm down to look at you. “We’ve been drinking beer and soda for the whole day you think I want to get something to eat now?” he chuckles, seeing the way you turned flustered, looking like a deer caught in headlights.
“What else can I do to help?” you asked, deciding to sit beside him. “We’re still on the clock; I thought maybe coffee could help you spring back up”
” I wish” he laughs, deciding to stare at the ceiling. “I just got distracted” he muttered, thinking you didn’t hear him, but you did.
“By what?” you probed. His cheeks turned a bit red, before looking away. “You suck at being a host” he said out of nowhere. You stiffen, frowning before looking down at your lap. “I’m trying” you tried to defend yourself. “I didn’t know I was getting in the way a lot,”
Wrong fucking move Tamayo, he thought to himself, mentally spiking his brain like a volleyball. “I didn’t mean-” his words died down causing him to groan in frustration. “You’re improving, don’t worry”
“But you said-”
” I just, couldn’t stop worrying about you” he cut you off, causing you to peel your eyes away from your lap back at his face. “I was worried you were getting overwhelmed and ...” he crossed his arms, still not looking at you but even without it you can see how his ears were flushed red. “I thought maybe I can go finish on my princesses and try to woo yours, so they pick me”
” So that I could get rest?” you asked
“So that you can get a rest” he affirmed, voice soft a contrast to his persona as a host, this made you smile, out of everything, the crazy missions you go to, the incompetence that you feel when you’re surrounded by non-human ability-stricken ghouls. This man was clueless about that world, a human, just like you.
Of course, you can’t help but feel a bit of warmth being able to finally communicate with someone that was powerless like you. Just… normal. “You’re funny” you chuckle, causing him to glare at you confused. “Wanting you to get rest is funny?”
You nudge his sides, making him grunt. “You want Harasaka to flame you again?” you teased causing him to stand up and just stretch.
“You’re right, he’d go “Why are you two in the break room again? if you don’t go out and entertain the princesses, you’ll start making us lose money” the way he was impersonating your manager made you both laugh.
“Real funny, isn’t it?” you froze, hearing the door creak open, and Harasaka was there, if looks could kill… “get back to work you two”
“Yes sir” both of you said defeatedly. glancing at Tomoya, he looked like he’s feeling better, which was a relief.
After work was done, Tomoya was supposed to invite you to get dinner but he saw that you were surrounded by your “Friends” again, and that gangster wannabe glaring at him for staring at you for too long. He debated whether or not he should try and still talk with you.
In his brain, why the fuck not honestly? he thought to himself, walking towards you causing the others to open up a path for him. In this Host club, Seia aside, he’s the top 1. He shouldn’t feel like he needs to accommodate these rookies.
“Hey” he said, your eyes already fixated on him, giving him that cute smile “Hey” you said it back, his hand on your shoulder. “I think we deserve a celebratory feast for being number 2 right?” he suggested. Rui looked at him like he just snatched the person he’s been aiming for, which Tomoya knows… he just didn’t care and considered it as competition.
“Sure!” are they invited? you asked, “nope, only top two” he said in a sing song voice before dragging you away, “If they get the next top spot, I’ll bring them with me one on one”
” Oi-” Lyca tried to interrupt but Ed stopped him. “Let them be...” he smiled, leaning his head on Lyca’s shoulder. “The human’s obviously expressing some affection to our dear Inspector” he muttered, Rui’s face soured. “Huh? and he’s already making a move?”
” Maybe Lyca’s right Hosts are trash” Rui crossed his arms, watching the love of his life get taken away by another guy, worse, he’s not even a ghoul… just a host.
And yet… he saw it, the way your eyes lit up, casually saying goodbye to the three of them. Heck, you didn’t even look at him much, you just waved and both of you left.
It made his heart ache, his lips turning into a thin line that was noticed by Lyca and (probably) ignored by Ed. “You okay Blond Giggolo?” he asked, a bit worried for the reaper.
Rui snapped out of it, scratching the back of his head. “Well - can’t be helped!” he chirped, turning around to remove his Host uniform. “If cutie wants to ditch us for a dinner date with the top 1 host, we clearly couldn’t keep her eyes on us” he joked, even though it stinged his heart.
Ed liked that look though. “You’re right” he wraps his arms around Rui, leaning close to his ear. “Maybe you should step up your game… Gen” he sneered, causing Rui’s whole body to activate his fight or flight to jump away from the vampire. “Stop harassing me and go change!” he growled, making Ed laugh. Did he really think that Rui would ever succumb into thinking about stealing Honor Roll like that??
Absolutely not…!
When you left with Tomoya, he released your shoulder, only walking just besides you. “Sorry about that” he muttered, making you laugh a bit. “For what?”
” Being so forceful” he continued, he really just wanted it to be just you and him to go out. “I don’t really know if your friends trust me yet” he looked upfront, watching people… or rather, couples walking side by side, the girl holding the guy’s arm, his eyes darted back to you, hoping you’d do the same…
What is he thinking? he’s acting like some kid in high school who just got his first crush…
Which is accurate cause he’s been so focused on keepng his family alive that his lovelife was getting dust and flies hovering around it. Only you decided to awaken his desire to have a lover. “Where do you wanna go eat?” He asked, wow, he kind of sucks. He’s a host but he outright asked you what to eat. If he remembered that’s like… don’t ask what a girl wants 101 given by Leonardo cause they love it more when you know what they want first.
Yet, all of that rizz stuff flies out the moment he watches you, the red district night lights making your prettiness shine. Like a firefly he used to see back in his hometown. The type he would wait till midnight, till every light was off so that they can finally shine.
That’s… what he thought you of.
His heart flutters, cheeks turning beet red at the sight of you. Is this how the girls felt when they watch their favorite host take their seats with them? he thought, his hand twitching, aching to hold your hand.
Do it, Tomoya. He encouraged himself, yet due to him being so fixated on your hand, it suddenly vanished, as you touched his cheek with the back of your fingers, “You okay?” you asked, he was dazed, staring down at where your hand was earlier causing him to snap out of it. “Huh?”
” I said I wanted to eat something that feels celebratory” You smiled, putting your hand down to intertwine it with his. “You wanna go to the ramen shop outside?” you suggested that his eyes twinkling and softening. “Sure”
”It’s my treat” you declared, swaying both your hands together, he laughs at the audacity you have. “I think if we were in a relationship I’d be top” he joked, making you both giggle together. “No way! you’re like that tsundere!”
”tsundere?” he gasped, looking down at you before letting your hand go and pulling you by the waist. “With this waist you think you can top?” he teases, the moment he pulled you, that caused you to squeak and blush.
“That’s sensitive!” you reprimanded, making him blush a bit from the sound you made, but he pushed through, keeping one hand on your waist. “You’re so bold,” you added, but didn’t stop him.
”I thrive to dive headfirst into flirting when it comes to my clients”
”So… do i pay?” you lit up, your hand resting on his wrist instead, you two looked like lovers.
“No”
The night after, Tomoya bid farewell to you after getting you back “home” where you ushered him to go when you got nearer Darkwick.
Humming to yourself, as you walk back alone, tapping your card, the kitty meowed at you, as you pet it, you noticed a familiar blond leaning on the poll on the waiting shed. Your eyes lit up, seeing Rui there. Has he been waiting for you?
“Rui!” you called out, waving to him, he stood straight, smile not reaching to his eyes as he waves back. “Cutie!” he said cheerfully, “How was your..date?” he asked, you walked towards him, almost ready to bombard him with how your “date” went.
” He’s really nice, he bought me food and got me some take outs” you babbled, showing the plastic full of food. “He said that-” Rui already stopped listening as you enthusiastically yapped about it. How you had so much fun in just a few hours. Which he tried his hardest to make you smile before. Yet you continued frowning, of course he didn’t mind, but why does a mere human like Tomoya make you forget about your curse but when it’s him, it’s like he’s constantly reminding you of it?
”That’s great” he said, trying his best to sound like his heart wasn’t fucking breaking. But unfortunately, you, his cutie, is too observant for your own good. “What’s wrong Rui?” you asked, upsetting him, he wished he could just tell you how he felt, before you started looking like you like the guy.
“Do you like him?” he asked, his voice faltering at each word, as he noticed the difference in your scent, you didn’t smell like your usual perfume. It was more of a stronger scent. A masculine one.
Tomoya’s? Was he that close with you. You blush a bit, looking down. “I-”
”So you do” he finished, he didn’t wanna hear it. “I’m glad for you Honor Roll”
Your smile faltered, he went back to calling you Honor Roll for some reason? “Rui? what’s wrong?” before you could even touch his arm, the loud ring of the expressway came. You couldn’t see his face, as he turned a bit, “Let’s go? It’s already so late” he said, you didn’t notice the little quiver of his voice as you both board the expressway.
The whole ride felt awkward, it was rare for Rui to be so silent, arm resting on the windowsill, just watching the trees pass, waiting for the Expressway to do it’s magic. Your sweat dropped, looking at your food, trying to think about what you did. Was it because you just half-heartedly waved at them before leaving with Tomoya.
You didn’t know, you tried your best to wrack your brain but none come up. You heard Rui sigh a bit, “I’m sorry” he apologized, pressing his fingers on his nose. “I didn’t know what came over me, I’m sorry cutie” he muttered, bowing to you. This made you smile a bit.
“It’s okay-! I’m sorry” you apologized as well. “I didn’t think it through to not even say goodbye properly to all of you before leaving.” You went to rummage in your bag, grabbing a apple candy. “Here’s a token of apology” you said. Smiling at him.
You didn’t even know why he was upset, he could feel his body turning cold, finally looking at you. He accepted it. Watching the apple candy gleam under the moonlight, it felt somewhat mocking, how an apple could have made you appreciative of this man. “This looks yummy cutie”
“Thank you”
Everything went smooth for the next few days, until the death of Seia. You and the Jake found his body in such a grotesque way. When Harasaka broke the news, Tomoya’s heart dropped. He considered Seia as a competition, without him… what use does he have being here?
He looked down, noticing the way your hand was shaking. He wrapped his hand on yours, giving you a gentle squeeze. Tomoya knew you cried the whole time, eyes puffy from what you’ve seen. You weren’t close with Seia, but maybe, the guy’s wholesome personality and being a happy-go-lucky made you think of him as a close friend.
”I got you” he whispered, you gave him a slight smile , steeling yourself a bit, and going close to him. “Okay” you muttered back. Little did you know, one of the host was staring at both of you, and deciding to look away, before he hurt himself too much. You had to part ways with him for now. Needing time to focus on your mission. You hid it in the pretense of needing alone time to yourself.
And Tomoya, he knows a person needs her time, especially after something like that… He watches as more and more girls horde you. He guessed working more means you’ll be able to distract yourself from what happened. He decided that since you’re working hard… He’d work hard with you.
In the hopes that he would ask you for one thing… Tomoya stared at his breast pocket, where his resignation letter was in.
He hopes you’d come with him when the time comes. After work was done, he wanted to get your attention, till Cross went in front of him, effectively blocking his way to you while you talk to the two other guys. “Hey-” he glared at Ed, who looked behind eyes glinting under the night light. “Sorry about that, top 1” he hummed, giving him that smile that caught every princess's attention.
“We’re gonna borrow your sweetling for a bit yeah?” he turned his head back, making Tomoya felt helpless, when Ed stared at him, it caused his whole blood to freeze…
Like he was dangerous. The hand that was supposed to be back where it was, your waist, your hand didn’t make it as he walks away, tucking the resignation letter and going to Leonardo’s office first instead.
He’ll tell you next time.
You went on a meeting with the other three ghouls, as you tried to decipher with them the case. It made you rack your brain because it was a bit confusing. The ghost you saw and the time you almost died because of the girl who was apparently named Sachie… You wanted to ask Tomoya about it but Ed smoothly pushed that thought away. Telling you indirectly that he was one of the new hosts… he doesn’t know anything.
This made Tomoya’s departure more painful, when Harasaka announced it, that he’ll only be working for 2 weeks. Your hurt gaze made his heart ache that he had to look away. “I-”
” I’m leaving this biz for family reasons” he stated, finally staring at all of them - well you specifically. “Honestly, i felt pretty conflicted about it whether I should do this after claiming number one but…”
He stepped closer, putting a hand on Kaworu’s shoulder, he kept his contact with you, just like how you both first met. “I think he deserves the top 1 more than me” he gave you a small smile, but you didn’t return it back. “Tomoya-”
He leaned down to your ear, just as he did back then in the breakroom. “After work, come meet me out, I wanna talk with you” He muttered it like a secret. It felt so soft, just like the first time he did it.
Except this time, it felt more raw than the other. “I’ll try” you answered, not really sure if you can talk with him while the mission is ongoing. It pains you that you can’t tell him any details, especially when he’s been an anchor to you even if it was just a few months. That gave you your answer when the anomaly “Sachie” popped out, causing you to stiffen.
You don’t want to endanger him, He’s just a civilian, and yet he pulled away, eyes filled with love as if reminding you that this sweet dream that you’re having won’t last long, that you will have to light up the mesmer match yourself and make him forget about all of this,to make him forget about you.
All for his sake.
He walks out, looking at peace. “I’ll see you later” he mouthed, closing the door as work continued after, cause of the meeting with the ones who won’t be leaving Your spot. You didn’t have time to say goodbye, as the moment he shut the door, Harasaka started screaming. Telling a ghost to get away from him…
He waited.
Waited for you to pop out of the store, but he never saw you, he didn’t even know that Harasaka died, and that had you going with the ghouls as well. He didn’t have your contact number either. Forgetting to even ask. “Shit”
He sighed, closing his phone, should he go home? he noticed your spot was already closed. He went to go around it, seeing you, he wanted to go run up to you, till he noticed you looked scared. An arm placed around you, seemingly by Gen.
Yeah - his eyes aren’t deceiving him… That’s Gen.
His brows furrowed, he didn’t want to doubt you. He didn’t know what happened so Maybe - just maybe that he was misunderstanding. Yeah, you wouldn’t do that…
The next day, he saw you again, but this time, you weren’t going to him, you were looking troubled, getting help from either one of the three hosts you came with. He really wants to help, if you just let him in, whatever you were thinking about he could help.
It turned him sour, causing him to glare at the other hosts instead of focusing on Purin, the princess he’s supposed to care for. “That Gen…” he snarked. Purin pouted. “Why are you so mad at him, focus on me!” she whined, but it was just static in his ears. He continued to stay in a bad mood. While you were busy with the mission. Hoping to find a way to decipher it.
He tried. He really tried, yet whenever he tried to get you alone, the one or another was blocking him. As if whatever problem they had was more important.
”Fawn” he walked to you, the breakroom being a silent sanctuary when the hosts are overwhelmed. “Are you oka-”
“Kawuro” Harasaka opened the door. “Table six, go immediately, VIP seat” he called bluntly before closing the door. It made you stand up, brushing your hand with his. “I’ll talk with you when I can Tomoya” you smiled, although fakely. Within that few seconds, he noticed how tired you were. Eyebags deep under your eyes. He knew you were juggling school with work…
It caused his heart to ache, effectively shutting him up as the door closed with a soft click.
He felt like you were closing your heart to him. Shutting him out. And he doesn’t blame you. After all, why do the hosts kept dying, and you managed to witness one of them to perish.
He bit his lip to the point it bled, as Harasaka called him, summoned by another princess
It went on for the last few days of his work. After that, all of you were told that the next day (which is the last day of his work) was free, and it was supposed to make him happy, but not being able to see you filled him with dread. Sure, it hurts him plenty and upset him that he couldn’t say his plans with you properly.
Back when his feeling started developing for you, it was great. He started to think that if he asked you to run away with him, live with him and be together. You’d surely say yes.
But now… he doesn’t know, but that doesn’t matter, this time he’ll ask you.
You and the others suddenly started running towards the highest floor, the roof top, causing him to look confused and run with you. “Fawn where are you going?” he managed to ask, running to the steps with you.
” Leonardo” you answered; adrenaline pumping as you slam the door open. “He’s in danger- wait!” you screeched as Tomoya noticed that he was reaching the edge of the tower.
“Leo!” he gasped, eyes zeroing at his boss, but before he could even bolt there, a ghostly woman came, stopping… whatever was luring Leonardo in. Tomoya glanced at Jake, who just had turned into some kind of wolf
“What..?” He was lost, and it was irritating him. “Fawn, what-?” he tried to grab you, only for you to unconsciously pull your hand away, putting it on your chest. “Thank god” you muttered, looking at him, “That’s” you panic a bit, looking at Lyca.
”Oh don’t worry” Ed said, watching the scene unfold as Leonardo falls on the floor. “We’ll just make him forget, right? Honor roll?” he places his hands in his pockets. Tomoya furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
“Honor roll?” he repeated back, looking at you. “Isn’t that a bit too feminine of a name…?”
And then it hit him.
You weren’t just a feminine boy… you were actually a woman. “Oh-”
You didn’t really expect such a relaxed reaction from it, then again , it wasn’t that big of a news that you were crossdressing as a man. “I’m sorry for deceiving you” He shook his head, laughing a little cause he did piece two and two together. “I was pretty much ready to be gay” he joked, “I still feel the same.. either way” he muttered, “What’s going on, Honor roll?” he asked, finally being able to talk to you. “You can tell me”
You frowned, as he takes a hold of your hand. You looked down, instead of feeling your heart fluttering at the gentle handsome smile he gave you…
You just felt dread. You looked at Lyca, Rui and Ed. Hoping that their expression said anything but all of them looked.. off. As if rejecting the thought of ever letting a normal human in the world of anomalies/ghouls and what not.
You were torn. But not for long, as you held his hand back, taking a deep breath as you. Even if it means that he’ll lose his memories, at least you’ll be able to know that he existed to be your.. friend. In some way.
“Let’s talk downstairs, yeah?” you answered, giving him a reassuring smile. He nods as all of you make your way downstairs.
While doing so, you could feel the worried gazes of your friends behind you, but you didn’t want to tell them the reason. The Mesmer match in your breast pocket was ready.
This mission is about to be over anyways. If you manage to actually uncover who the killer is by tomorrow. Tomoya can go back to his sister, without you in it.
You sat down with him where he’s usually summoned by princesses. This time, not as the host, but as his princess. Leonardo wanted to give both of you privacy, especially after nearly dying. Your friends deciding that since you’re going to do the deed. You might as well enjoy another human being that is magicless, similar to you.
He was… amazing, you realize why the girls kept wanting him. “I’m sorry that I am too broke to try and buy your time with me” you teased him as you drink the tea he made from the break room. He laughs, “For you Honor roll, anything’s free” he flirted causing you to take a deep breath just to relax.
”You damn flirt” scowling, you glare at him playfully, which he flashed his smile against. Unfortunately for you, you lost. You ended up telling him about your story. How you ended up in Darkwick, stopping from time to time to let him process the information.
“That’s.. tough” he frowned, the tea he made was already cold just from eagerly wanting to hear from you. “You’re cursed” he looked down, “and you have a year left?” he continued, feeling bad for you. “Oh no it’s fine,” You lied, “the ghouls you met are trying to help me with it”
”But like you said” he looked back at you “There’s no progress for 5 months already” pointing it out, you flinched from what he said. “Yeah- But that doesn’t mean i’ll stop trying, even if the chances are slim to 0.01%”
Tomoya knows he should be happy that you’re telling him all this but…
He can’t shake off the feeling that you were keeping one thing you’re hiding from him. And he was not stupid.
“You’re freely telling me everything.” he blurted it out, gripping on the little cup. Hoping that he probably has it wrong. “Are you going to erase my memory? about you”
He finally decided to face you, “About us?”
This caused you to stiffen up, guilt etched on your face, causing you to avoid his eye contact. “Please” he said, voice laced with sadness. “Please look at me and answer me Honor roll”
”Am i going to forget about you?” He asked again.
You bit your lip, darting your eyes anywhere but him, but with his voice sounding so desperate you can’t ignore him for so long. “… yes”
A wave of silence washed over the table where you two were in. Tomoya chuckles to himself. “I guess It was never meant to be” he said to himself bitterly, but it was loud enough for you to hear.
“What do you mean?” you asked, your heart breaking at each and every word he just said. “What do you mean by that Tomoya?”
“I wanted to ask if you wanted to quit with me” he admitted. “You were with them, - your ghoul friends”
“I’m sorry-” you choked out, tears finally starting to stroll down your cheeks, causing Tomoya to panic. Making a girl cry is the least he wants to do.
So he breaks his own rule, standing up and going to the other side. Near where you are. Even if it meant this would be the last time he’d ever be able to hold you.
He pulled you into his arms, crushing you with the weight of him. You felt the warmth of his body, as you wrapped your arms around him. “Tomoya - I’m so sorry” you buried your face into his shoulder. “I didn’t mean to-”
”It’s okay” he soothed, “don’t cry- don’t cry” he rubs your back. “It’ll be okay, we’ll see each other again” or at least he hoped so. If you truly are the one for him, then fate will allow it to happen once more.
You calmed down as he continued his repeated phrases, that was luring you to relax, to rest in the arms of the human you ended up liking. “You have to do it soon right?” he asked, pulling away from you but ending up holding your hand instead. You didn’t want to. You wanted him to be around at least.
“Yeah-” you grabbed the Mesmer match with your free hand. “Do you want to do it now?” he asked, “So that, later, you wouldn’t feel hurt that much?”
You didn't want to, you didn’t want to, you didn’t want to.
But the way he was looking at you, like he was prepared himself, and just waiting for you to be ready, forced you to put on a brave face. “Okay” you answered, gripping on his hand a bit too tightly, but he didn’t care, he wanted to feel you one last time, just enough that even when you leave him, he’d still yearn for you.
The woman that he ended up loving.
You lit up the match, as it shone a beautiful small fire, even he admired it, another thing he admired aside from you. “Honor roll?” he called you out as you got distracted by the fire.
“Yes-?” you gasped, feeling his hand touch your cheek and he pulls you for a kiss, a soft one. You stiffen up, feeling your heart break as tears start to fall down your cheeks again. You kissed him back, gripping on his hand, wanting to leave a mark on him.
When you pulled away, the smoke started precipitating, covering the small area that surrounded the both of you. “I love you,” he said, breathless, smiling as he pressed his forehead to yours. “Come back to me, when you’re ready Honor -” he said, but stopped as his memories started turning foggy.
You sobbed as the smoke envelopes him, “I.. - I will” you reassured one last time, before letting him go and slipping away before he woke up from the short slumber caused by the mesmer match.
“Roll…” Tomoya blinked, confused as he looks around. “Strange…” he thought to himself he’s a picky sleeper so dozing off where he’s working was odd. “I don’t remember being seated where the princesses are..”

"I know that we're destined to break." Tomoya x FEM Reader
Synopsis: When Tomoya's eyes landed on you, he got this odd feeling something was weird with you. It made his heart flutter, and for no reason... he felt a tug that told him to get closer to the "man" that he's interested in.
Pairing: Tomoya x FEM Reader, One sided Rui Mizuki x FEM Reader
Content Warning: ANGST NO COMFORT just slight!! AND SPOILERS FOR HAUNTED HOST CLUB (OBSCUARY EPISODE) if you have NOT read it, DO NOT READ. HEAVY SPOILERS.
A/n: HI, omg I finally managed to FINISH SOMETHING??? HI HI GUYS I MISSED ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!! I hope you like this cause I didn't wanna beta read it, I'm sorry! so this is just raw writing power. My bad for the multiple errors, I went with what I can write so yes! I'll try catching up more writing during break, I love you all. Enjoy! I hope yall like Tomoya, he was so cute, maybe a bit OOC cause we never really established what he was honestly.
There was an odd feeling that Tomoya felt when he saw the new batch of newbies after Seia came inside the employee’s prep room first. His eyes usually would ignore the way they look at him like he’s a challenge (which he is). They’re all competing for the best hosts here every 6 months. Since Seia just decided to announce his head as the target, you’d expect that these newbies would glare at him…
But no, one guy looked at him like he’s asking to be entertained, the blonde one looks just happy to meet new hosts, one of them look pissed off though, he’s unsure if it’s cause of the hierarchy here. Whatever the reason is. He already despises the guy.
Clicking his tounge, he didn’t wanna handle idiots who doesn’t understand the industry. His eyes darted from each host, till it reached to you. While Seia was busy yapping to the blondie. You on the other hand, look incredibly basic.
But for some reason, he couldn’t stop observing you keenly, like he discovered a new type of man in this field. He’s always surrounded by both, pretty girls, pretty boys. Heck, of course he’s one himself.
But your beauty precedes every visual appeal that his eyes had observed. You look basic… but in an endearing way.
When you noticed him staring at you. It caused you to feel a bit shy, but bold enough to flash a sweet smile. He stiffened a bit causing him to look away immediately.
“Just don’t get in my way” he scoffed, leaving as Seia tried to get him back to greet the newbies.
He didn’t need to greet them. They all leave anyways. When work started, you were the only one without requests. It made him pity you honestly, the poor little host who can’t get princesses. You could’ve just worked at the kitchen and you’ll be just fine, not being pushed by others to go serve drinks or be a shadow of other hosts.
When you fell down, spilling the drink on one of the princesses, he saw the way your eyes looked so guilt stricken. Apologizing to the angry patron while the other host, which is Gen tried to pull the princess away from you.
“I - I’m so sorry!” you squeaked out, bowing so low that he flinched at the future back pain you’re gonna get afterwards. Placing his cup down, he flashed a charming smile at his princess. “I’ll have to go help the little fawn there” he gestured by tilting his head seemingly pointing at you. “Oh! poor boy…” the princess said, watching “Go ahead!” she chirps, heck seeing him eager to help another host got her swooning, women are weird.
Tomoya stood up, walking towards you, he clasped his hand on your shoulder, pulling you to sit up straight as he signaled Rui to get a staff to get the princess new fancy clothes. “We apologize for our new fawn” he said, touching the princess’ hand and giving it a kiss. “We promise to confiscate you in the most necessary way” he murmured, soft enough to hear just to deescalate the situation. When he finished, the princess’ anger disintegrated and she just giggled to herself while Rui went to pull her away.
You, on the other hand, he noticed your hand trembling. He usually would’ve just scolded you for almost losing a patron, but with the way you looked like you’re about to cry. He decided to go against it and usher you to the side, where no eyes can watch and judge.
”Are you okay?” he asked, sharp enough to make it not sound that he has a soft spot for you. Tears started to accumulate into your eyes, not used to fucking up things for yourself. “I am so sorry” you sob quietly, wiping your tears with your fingers. “I got overwhelmed-”
“You don’t need to explain yourself” he said, looking away, he leaned on the wall. “It’s your first day,” he pulls out a pack of cigars, and shook it a bit for one to go out. “Things are bound to not go your way when you’re just starting out.”
Offering the cigar to you. He noticed the way your eyes widen, and immediately shook. “Not a smoker?” he asked, as you continued to wipe your tears. “No… I’m still sorry for causing trouble, are you taking a break?” you asked, grabbing your napkin, it looked quite girlish. Maybe it came from your girlfriend?
Whatever. Why is he so interesting in knowing about your life? he shouldn’t be. He lit up his cigarette, going out to the side where there’s an opening but not visible to the princesses being served by the other hosts.
“I decided to help you out before you made yourself a fool there” he answered rather harshly, taking a slow drag and letting the remnants of burnt cigar fall down from a high height. You just stood there, watching, or observing him. “Do you not interact with women occasionally? friends? sisters? mothers?” he asked, glancing back at you while his body still remains in the same position.
“No..” you admitted, “But they’re not the only ones I get embarrassed around, it’s people in general” you continued, fidgeting with your fingers. “I’m sorry for keeping you here Tomoya” you bowed once again. “You’ll hurt your back bowing so low” he chuckled to himself as he taps the cigar on the edge. “Learn to be confident”
Why is he giving advice to the enemy? but either way, with your performance being so poorly, their reputation might get tarnished, so he guessed it’s better to give advice. “I’ll let you in on some advice” he said, finishing his smoke and walking towards you.
You caught the whiff of cigarettes on him, he grabs a perfume in his pocket, spraying it on himself to hide the scent. When he was taking long strides to you, it made you unconsciously back away. Sure, this isn’t your first rodeo on men invading your personal space, but the way he was staring at you got your heart jumping out.
He didn’t care though, he got you on the wall, he places his hand near the side your head before he leans to your ear, breath warm on it causing you to shudder. “How about you try and watch from other hosts like us so you can catch on what the princesses ‘really’ want?”
It almost felt like he purred that word into your ear, causing your breath to hitch, “yes” you mumbled, voice a bit too high pitched. Satisfied he pulled away, pushing you out of the “break down room” or whatever. “Then that’s it, go on rookie. Don’t disappoint me.” he said, before you could even turn around, he already closed the door, occupying the space used by other hosts.
“Try and watch…” you thought as you huffed, slapping your cheeks for determination. You’ll try looking at how Rui and Ed do it, so far, they’re the ones with customers already. Seia too!
As you left, taking his advice to heart, he stood there, frozen near the door. He groaned, scratching his head. “Shit” he hissed to himself. He didn’t know what spell you just placed on him to have this immediate soft spot with the way you cried. Did you remind him of his sister that he loved so much?
He doesn’t fucking know. Either way, In the first day, you didn’t get a princess…
But you got a prince.
As the months continued, he started seeing improvements on you. Well, more like a Tiktok video ended up going viral with you dancing with a famous influencer. It got him overthinking if the guy was your boyfriend because of how handsy he was with you. Is the guy gay? ugh.
When he clocked in, he didn’t realize how big of the influence Leo Kurosagi had, when a bunch of women were piled up in your spot, eager to see you in the flesh, the host that Leo personally vouched as a good friend of his?
He clicked his tounge, glaring at the door. A man that he can’t beat, someone you’re close with that’s more famous than him.
Why are you eager to learn his ways when you can just ask a man like that?
He couldn’t help but feel a bitter ache in his chest about it. Before work started, all of the hosts were gathered around to give a few reminders, and he warned you that the customers outside were mostly coming for you.
He wonders if it’s because of his advice or what. When words of encouragement were passed from one host to another, you, who was beside him, glanced his way.
“Let’s do our best Tomoya” you said, flashing him the cutest smile he’d ever seen, making his own mysterious and lone wolf personality falter.
“…You too” he answered rather meekly, trying to balance himself from getting blown away by his own feelings.
Yes, he knows he’s falling for you.
He couldn’t keep his eyes away from you for one second. He even thought he was getting away glancing at you all the time so discreetly, but women in general are observant and he got one of his princesses pissed because of it.
“Tomoya!” they huffed and puffed, “you’ve been staring at that host for so long! you’re not giving me any attention” she crossed her arms, looking away with a gentle pout. He scratched his head and tried his best to go back to his one-dimensional personality to woo the woman, but she wasn’t buying it. Standing up and walking out.
A first time he flunked a princess, all because he was worried for you. He sighed, deciding to stand up and walk into the break room for now.
While you were entertaining the princesses. you noticed Tamayo going to the break room, looking dejected, with the princess he’s entertaining huffing at the side with the bartender. Once you’re done with a few princesses, you had to take a quick break, managing to slip into the break room.
Tomoya was slouching there, looking drained, so you take it upon yourself to brew him coffee, maybe get a snack first.
But before you could even do that, his tired voice rang throughout the room. “Fawn, don’t bother” he said, putting his arm down to look at you. “We’ve been drinking beer and soda for the whole day you think I want to get something to eat now?” he chuckles, seeing the way you turned flustered, looking like a deer caught in headlights.
“What else can I do to help?” you asked, deciding to sit beside him. “We’re still on the clock; I thought maybe coffee could help you spring back up”
” I wish” he laughs, deciding to stare at the ceiling. “I just got distracted” he muttered, thinking you didn’t hear him, but you did.
“By what?” you probed. His cheeks turned a bit red, before looking away. “You suck at being a host” he said out of nowhere. You stiffen, frowning before looking down at your lap. “I’m trying” you tried to defend yourself. “I didn’t know I was getting in the way a lot,”
Wrong fucking move Tamayo, he thought to himself, mentally spiking his brain like a volleyball. “I didn’t mean-” his words died down causing him to groan in frustration. “You’re improving, don’t worry”
“But you said-”
” I just, couldn’t stop worrying about you” he cut you off, causing you to peel your eyes away from your lap back at his face. “I was worried you were getting overwhelmed and ...” he crossed his arms, still not looking at you but even without it you can see how his ears were flushed red. “I thought maybe I can go finish on my princesses and try to woo yours, so they pick me”
” So that I could get rest?” you asked
“So that you can get a rest” he affirmed, voice soft a contrast to his persona as a host, this made you smile, out of everything, the crazy missions you go to, the incompetence that you feel when you’re surrounded by non-human ability-stricken ghouls. This man was clueless about that world, a human, just like you.
Of course, you can’t help but feel a bit of warmth being able to finally communicate with someone that was powerless like you. Just… normal. “You’re funny” you chuckle, causing him to glare at you confused. “Wanting you to get rest is funny?”
You nudge his sides, making him grunt. “You want Harasaka to flame you again?” you teased causing him to stand up and just stretch.
“You’re right, he’d go “Why are you two in the break room again? if you don’t go out and entertain the princesses, you’ll start making us lose money” the way he was impersonating your manager made you both laugh.
“Real funny, isn’t it?” you froze, hearing the door creak open, and Harasaka was there, if looks could kill… “get back to work you two”
“Yes sir” both of you said defeatedly. glancing at Tomoya, he looked like he’s feeling better, which was a relief.
After work was done, Tomoya was supposed to invite you to get dinner but he saw that you were surrounded by your “Friends” again, and that gangster wannabe glaring at him for staring at you for too long. He debated whether or not he should try and still talk with you.
In his brain, why the fuck not honestly? he thought to himself, walking towards you causing the others to open up a path for him. In this Host club, Seia aside, he’s the top 1. He shouldn’t feel like he needs to accommodate these rookies.
“Hey” he said, your eyes already fixated on him, giving him that cute smile “Hey” you said it back, his hand on your shoulder. “I think we deserve a celebratory feast for being number 2 right?” he suggested. Rui looked at him like he just snatched the person he’s been aiming for, which Tomoya knows… he just didn’t care and considered it as competition.
“Sure!” are they invited? you asked, “nope, only top two” he said in a sing song voice before dragging you away, “If they get the next top spot, I’ll bring them with me one on one”
” Oi-” Lyca tried to interrupt but Ed stopped him. “Let them be...” he smiled, leaning his head on Lyca’s shoulder. “The human’s obviously expressing some affection to our dear Inspector” he muttered, Rui’s face soured. “Huh? and he’s already making a move?”
” Maybe Lyca’s right Hosts are trash” Rui crossed his arms, watching the love of his life get taken away by another guy, worse, he’s not even a ghoul… just a host.
And yet… he saw it, the way your eyes lit up, casually saying goodbye to the three of them. Heck, you didn’t even look at him much, you just waved and both of you left.
It made his heart ache, his lips turning into a thin line that was noticed by Lyca and (probably) ignored by Ed. “You okay Blond Giggolo?” he asked, a bit worried for the reaper.
Rui snapped out of it, scratching the back of his head. “Well - can’t be helped!” he chirped, turning around to remove his Host uniform. “If cutie wants to ditch us for a dinner date with the top 1 host, we clearly couldn’t keep her eyes on us” he joked, even though it stinged his heart.
Ed liked that look though. “You’re right” he wraps his arms around Rui, leaning close to his ear. “Maybe you should step up your game… Gen” he sneered, causing Rui’s whole body to activate his fight or flight to jump away from the vampire. “Stop harassing me and go change!” he growled, making Ed laugh. Did he really think that Rui would ever succumb into thinking about stealing Honor Roll like that??
Absolutely not…!
When you left with Tomoya, he released your shoulder, only walking just besides you. “Sorry about that” he muttered, making you laugh a bit. “For what?”
” Being so forceful” he continued, he really just wanted it to be just you and him to go out. “I don’t really know if your friends trust me yet” he looked upfront, watching people… or rather, couples walking side by side, the girl holding the guy’s arm, his eyes darted back to you, hoping you’d do the same…
What is he thinking? he’s acting like some kid in high school who just got his first crush…
Which is accurate cause he’s been so focused on keepng his family alive that his lovelife was getting dust and flies hovering around it. Only you decided to awaken his desire to have a lover. “Where do you wanna go eat?” He asked, wow, he kind of sucks. He’s a host but he outright asked you what to eat. If he remembered that’s like… don’t ask what a girl wants 101 given by Leonardo cause they love it more when you know what they want first.
Yet, all of that rizz stuff flies out the moment he watches you, the red district night lights making your prettiness shine. Like a firefly he used to see back in his hometown. The type he would wait till midnight, till every light was off so that they can finally shine.
That’s… what he thought you of.
His heart flutters, cheeks turning beet red at the sight of you. Is this how the girls felt when they watch their favorite host take their seats with them? he thought, his hand twitching, aching to hold your hand.
Do it, Tomoya. He encouraged himself, yet due to him being so fixated on your hand, it suddenly vanished, as you touched his cheek with the back of your fingers, “You okay?” you asked, he was dazed, staring down at where your hand was earlier causing him to snap out of it. “Huh?”
” I said I wanted to eat something that feels celebratory” You smiled, putting your hand down to intertwine it with his. “You wanna go to the ramen shop outside?” you suggested that his eyes twinkling and softening. “Sure”
”It’s my treat” you declared, swaying both your hands together, he laughs at the audacity you have. “I think if we were in a relationship I’d be top” he joked, making you both giggle together. “No way! you’re like that tsundere!”
”tsundere?” he gasped, looking down at you before letting your hand go and pulling you by the waist. “With this waist you think you can top?” he teases, the moment he pulled you, that caused you to squeak and blush.
“That’s sensitive!” you reprimanded, making him blush a bit from the sound you made, but he pushed through, keeping one hand on your waist. “You’re so bold,” you added, but didn’t stop him.
”I thrive to dive headfirst into flirting when it comes to my clients”
”So… do i pay?” you lit up, your hand resting on his wrist instead, you two looked like lovers.
“No”
The night after, Tomoya bid farewell to you after getting you back “home” where you ushered him to go when you got nearer Darkwick.
Humming to yourself, as you walk back alone, tapping your card, the kitty meowed at you, as you pet it, you noticed a familiar blond leaning on the poll on the waiting shed. Your eyes lit up, seeing Rui there. Has he been waiting for you?
“Rui!” you called out, waving to him, he stood straight, smile not reaching to his eyes as he waves back. “Cutie!” he said cheerfully, “How was your..date?” he asked, you walked towards him, almost ready to bombard him with how your “date” went.
” He’s really nice, he bought me food and got me some take outs” you babbled, showing the plastic full of food. “He said that-” Rui already stopped listening as you enthusiastically yapped about it. How you had so much fun in just a few hours. Which he tried his hardest to make you smile before. Yet you continued frowning, of course he didn’t mind, but why does a mere human like Tomoya make you forget about your curse but when it’s him, it’s like he’s constantly reminding you of it?
”That’s great” he said, trying his best to sound like his heart wasn’t fucking breaking. But unfortunately, you, his cutie, is too observant for your own good. “What’s wrong Rui?” you asked, upsetting him, he wished he could just tell you how he felt, before you started looking like you like the guy.
“Do you like him?” he asked, his voice faltering at each word, as he noticed the difference in your scent, you didn’t smell like your usual perfume. It was more of a stronger scent. A masculine one.
Tomoya’s? Was he that close with you. You blush a bit, looking down. “I-”
”So you do” he finished, he didn’t wanna hear it. “I’m glad for you Honor Roll”
Your smile faltered, he went back to calling you Honor Roll for some reason? “Rui? what’s wrong?” before you could even touch his arm, the loud ring of the expressway came. You couldn’t see his face, as he turned a bit, “Let’s go? It’s already so late” he said, you didn’t notice the little quiver of his voice as you both board the expressway.
The whole ride felt awkward, it was rare for Rui to be so silent, arm resting on the windowsill, just watching the trees pass, waiting for the Expressway to do it’s magic. Your sweat dropped, looking at your food, trying to think about what you did. Was it because you just half-heartedly waved at them before leaving with Tomoya.
You didn’t know, you tried your best to wrack your brain but none come up. You heard Rui sigh a bit, “I’m sorry” he apologized, pressing his fingers on his nose. “I didn’t know what came over me, I’m sorry cutie” he muttered, bowing to you. This made you smile a bit.
“It’s okay-! I’m sorry” you apologized as well. “I didn’t think it through to not even say goodbye properly to all of you before leaving.” You went to rummage in your bag, grabbing a apple candy. “Here’s a token of apology” you said. Smiling at him.
You didn’t even know why he was upset, he could feel his body turning cold, finally looking at you. He accepted it. Watching the apple candy gleam under the moonlight, it felt somewhat mocking, how an apple could have made you appreciative of this man. “This looks yummy cutie”
“Thank you”
Everything went smooth for the next few days, until the death of Seia. You and the Jake found his body in such a grotesque way. When Harasaka broke the news, Tomoya’s heart dropped. He considered Seia as a competition, without him… what use does he have being here?
He looked down, noticing the way your hand was shaking. He wrapped his hand on yours, giving you a gentle squeeze. Tomoya knew you cried the whole time, eyes puffy from what you’ve seen. You weren’t close with Seia, but maybe, the guy’s wholesome personality and being a happy-go-lucky made you think of him as a close friend.
”I got you” he whispered, you gave him a slight smile , steeling yourself a bit, and going close to him. “Okay” you muttered back. Little did you know, one of the host was staring at both of you, and deciding to look away, before he hurt himself too much. You had to part ways with him for now. Needing time to focus on your mission. You hid it in the pretense of needing alone time to yourself.
And Tomoya, he knows a person needs her time, especially after something like that… He watches as more and more girls horde you. He guessed working more means you’ll be able to distract yourself from what happened. He decided that since you’re working hard… He’d work hard with you.
In the hopes that he would ask you for one thing… Tomoya stared at his breast pocket, where his resignation letter was in.
He hopes you’d come with him when the time comes. After work was done, he wanted to get your attention, till Cross went in front of him, effectively blocking his way to you while you talk to the two other guys. “Hey-” he glared at Ed, who looked behind eyes glinting under the night light. “Sorry about that, top 1” he hummed, giving him that smile that caught every princess's attention.
“We’re gonna borrow your sweetling for a bit yeah?” he turned his head back, making Tomoya felt helpless, when Ed stared at him, it caused his whole blood to freeze…
Like he was dangerous. The hand that was supposed to be back where it was, your waist, your hand didn’t make it as he walks away, tucking the resignation letter and going to Leonardo’s office first instead.
He’ll tell you next time.
You went on a meeting with the other three ghouls, as you tried to decipher with them the case. It made you rack your brain because it was a bit confusing. The ghost you saw and the time you almost died because of the girl who was apparently named Sachie… You wanted to ask Tomoya about it but Ed smoothly pushed that thought away. Telling you indirectly that he was one of the new hosts… he doesn’t know anything.
This made Tomoya’s departure more painful, when Harasaka announced it, that he’ll only be working for 2 weeks. Your hurt gaze made his heart ache that he had to look away. “I-”
” I’m leaving this biz for family reasons” he stated, finally staring at all of them - well you specifically. “Honestly, i felt pretty conflicted about it whether I should do this after claiming number one but…”
He stepped closer, putting a hand on Kaworu’s shoulder, he kept his contact with you, just like how you both first met. “I think he deserves the top 1 more than me” he gave you a small smile, but you didn’t return it back. “Tomoya-”
He leaned down to your ear, just as he did back then in the breakroom. “After work, come meet me out, I wanna talk with you” He muttered it like a secret. It felt so soft, just like the first time he did it.
Except this time, it felt more raw than the other. “I’ll try” you answered, not really sure if you can talk with him while the mission is ongoing. It pains you that you can’t tell him any details, especially when he’s been an anchor to you even if it was just a few months. That gave you your answer when the anomaly “Sachie” popped out, causing you to stiffen.
You don’t want to endanger him, He’s just a civilian, and yet he pulled away, eyes filled with love as if reminding you that this sweet dream that you’re having won’t last long, that you will have to light up the mesmer match yourself and make him forget about all of this,to make him forget about you.
All for his sake.
He walks out, looking at peace. “I’ll see you later” he mouthed, closing the door as work continued after, cause of the meeting with the ones who won’t be leaving Your spot. You didn’t have time to say goodbye, as the moment he shut the door, Harasaka started screaming. Telling a ghost to get away from him…
He waited.
Waited for you to pop out of the store, but he never saw you, he didn’t even know that Harasaka died, and that had you going with the ghouls as well. He didn’t have your contact number either. Forgetting to even ask. “Shit”
He sighed, closing his phone, should he go home? he noticed your spot was already closed. He went to go around it, seeing you, he wanted to go run up to you, till he noticed you looked scared. An arm placed around you, seemingly by Gen.
Yeah - his eyes aren’t deceiving him… That’s Gen.
His brows furrowed, he didn’t want to doubt you. He didn’t know what happened so Maybe - just maybe that he was misunderstanding. Yeah, you wouldn’t do that…
The next day, he saw you again, but this time, you weren’t going to him, you were looking troubled, getting help from either one of the three hosts you came with. He really wants to help, if you just let him in, whatever you were thinking about he could help.
It turned him sour, causing him to glare at the other hosts instead of focusing on Purin, the princess he’s supposed to care for. “That Gen…” he snarked. Purin pouted. “Why are you so mad at him, focus on me!” she whined, but it was just static in his ears. He continued to stay in a bad mood. While you were busy with the mission. Hoping to find a way to decipher it.
He tried. He really tried, yet whenever he tried to get you alone, the one or another was blocking him. As if whatever problem they had was more important.
”Fawn” he walked to you, the breakroom being a silent sanctuary when the hosts are overwhelmed. “Are you oka-”
“Kawuro” Harasaka opened the door. “Table six, go immediately, VIP seat” he called bluntly before closing the door. It made you stand up, brushing your hand with his. “I’ll talk with you when I can Tomoya” you smiled, although fakely. Within that few seconds, he noticed how tired you were. Eyebags deep under your eyes. He knew you were juggling school with work…
It caused his heart to ache, effectively shutting him up as the door closed with a soft click.
He felt like you were closing your heart to him. Shutting him out. And he doesn’t blame you. After all, why do the hosts kept dying, and you managed to witness one of them to perish.
He bit his lip to the point it bled, as Harasaka called him, summoned by another princess
It went on for the last few days of his work. After that, all of you were told that the next day (which is the last day of his work) was free, and it was supposed to make him happy, but not being able to see you filled him with dread. Sure, it hurts him plenty and upset him that he couldn’t say his plans with you properly.
Back when his feeling started developing for you, it was great. He started to think that if he asked you to run away with him, live with him and be together. You’d surely say yes.
But now… he doesn’t know, but that doesn’t matter, this time he’ll ask you.
You and the others suddenly started running towards the highest floor, the roof top, causing him to look confused and run with you. “Fawn where are you going?” he managed to ask, running to the steps with you.
” Leonardo” you answered; adrenaline pumping as you slam the door open. “He’s in danger- wait!” you screeched as Tomoya noticed that he was reaching the edge of the tower.
“Leo!” he gasped, eyes zeroing at his boss, but before he could even bolt there, a ghostly woman came, stopping… whatever was luring Leonardo in. Tomoya glanced at Jake, who just had turned into some kind of wolf
“What..?” He was lost, and it was irritating him. “Fawn, what-?” he tried to grab you, only for you to unconsciously pull your hand away, putting it on your chest. “Thank god” you muttered, looking at him, “That’s” you panic a bit, looking at Lyca.
”Oh don’t worry” Ed said, watching the scene unfold as Leonardo falls on the floor. “We’ll just make him forget, right? Honor roll?” he places his hands in his pockets. Tomoya furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
“Honor roll?” he repeated back, looking at you. “Isn’t that a bit too feminine of a name…?”
And then it hit him.
You weren’t just a feminine boy… you were actually a woman. “Oh-”
You didn’t really expect such a relaxed reaction from it, then again , it wasn’t that big of a news that you were crossdressing as a man. “I’m sorry for deceiving you” He shook his head, laughing a little cause he did piece two and two together. “I was pretty much ready to be gay” he joked, “I still feel the same.. either way” he muttered, “What’s going on, Honor roll?” he asked, finally being able to talk to you. “You can tell me”
You frowned, as he takes a hold of your hand. You looked down, instead of feeling your heart fluttering at the gentle handsome smile he gave you…
You just felt dread. You looked at Lyca, Rui and Ed. Hoping that their expression said anything but all of them looked.. off. As if rejecting the thought of ever letting a normal human in the world of anomalies/ghouls and what not.
You were torn. But not for long, as you held his hand back, taking a deep breath as you. Even if it means that he’ll lose his memories, at least you’ll be able to know that he existed to be your.. friend. In some way.
“Let’s talk downstairs, yeah?” you answered, giving him a reassuring smile. He nods as all of you make your way downstairs.
While doing so, you could feel the worried gazes of your friends behind you, but you didn’t want to tell them the reason. The Mesmer match in your breast pocket was ready.
This mission is about to be over anyways. If you manage to actually uncover who the killer is by tomorrow. Tomoya can go back to his sister, without you in it.
You sat down with him where he’s usually summoned by princesses. This time, not as the host, but as his princess. Leonardo wanted to give both of you privacy, especially after nearly dying. Your friends deciding that since you’re going to do the deed. You might as well enjoy another human being that is magicless, similar to you.
He was… amazing, you realize why the girls kept wanting him. “I’m sorry that I am too broke to try and buy your time with me” you teased him as you drink the tea he made from the break room. He laughs, “For you Honor roll, anything’s free” he flirted causing you to take a deep breath just to relax.
”You damn flirt” scowling, you glare at him playfully, which he flashed his smile against. Unfortunately for you, you lost. You ended up telling him about your story. How you ended up in Darkwick, stopping from time to time to let him process the information.
“That’s.. tough” he frowned, the tea he made was already cold just from eagerly wanting to hear from you. “You’re cursed” he looked down, “and you have a year left?” he continued, feeling bad for you. “Oh no it’s fine,” You lied, “the ghouls you met are trying to help me with it”
”But like you said” he looked back at you “There’s no progress for 5 months already” pointing it out, you flinched from what he said. “Yeah- But that doesn’t mean i’ll stop trying, even if the chances are slim to 0.01%”
Tomoya knows he should be happy that you’re telling him all this but…
He can’t shake off the feeling that you were keeping one thing you’re hiding from him. And he was not stupid.
“You’re freely telling me everything.” he blurted it out, gripping on the little cup. Hoping that he probably has it wrong. “Are you going to erase my memory? about you”
He finally decided to face you, “About us?”
This caused you to stiffen up, guilt etched on your face, causing you to avoid his eye contact. “Please” he said, voice laced with sadness. “Please look at me and answer me Honor roll”
”Am i going to forget about you?” He asked again.
You bit your lip, darting your eyes anywhere but him, but with his voice sounding so desperate you can’t ignore him for so long. “… yes”
A wave of silence washed over the table where you two were in. Tomoya chuckles to himself. “I guess It was never meant to be” he said to himself bitterly, but it was loud enough for you to hear.
“What do you mean?” you asked, your heart breaking at each and every word he just said. “What do you mean by that Tomoya?”
“I wanted to ask if you wanted to quit with me” he admitted. “You were with them, - your ghoul friends”
“I’m sorry-” you choked out, tears finally starting to stroll down your cheeks, causing Tomoya to panic. Making a girl cry is the least he wants to do.
So he breaks his own rule, standing up and going to the other side. Near where you are. Even if it meant this would be the last time he’d ever be able to hold you.
He pulled you into his arms, crushing you with the weight of him. You felt the warmth of his body, as you wrapped your arms around him. “Tomoya - I’m so sorry” you buried your face into his shoulder. “I didn’t mean to-”
”It’s okay” he soothed, “don’t cry- don’t cry” he rubs your back. “It’ll be okay, we’ll see each other again” or at least he hoped so. If you truly are the one for him, then fate will allow it to happen once more.
You calmed down as he continued his repeated phrases, that was luring you to relax, to rest in the arms of the human you ended up liking. “You have to do it soon right?” he asked, pulling away from you but ending up holding your hand instead. You didn’t want to. You wanted him to be around at least.
“Yeah-” you grabbed the Mesmer match with your free hand. “Do you want to do it now?” he asked, “So that, later, you wouldn’t feel hurt that much?”
You didn't want to, you didn’t want to, you didn’t want to.
But the way he was looking at you, like he was prepared himself, and just waiting for you to be ready, forced you to put on a brave face. “Okay” you answered, gripping on his hand a bit too tightly, but he didn’t care, he wanted to feel you one last time, just enough that even when you leave him, he’d still yearn for you.
The woman that he ended up loving.
You lit up the match, as it shone a beautiful small fire, even he admired it, another thing he admired aside from you. “Honor roll?” he called you out as you got distracted by the fire.
“Yes-?” you gasped, feeling his hand touch your cheek and he pulls you for a kiss, a soft one. You stiffen up, feeling your heart break as tears start to fall down your cheeks again. You kissed him back, gripping on his hand, wanting to leave a mark on him.
When you pulled away, the smoke started precipitating, covering the small area that surrounded the both of you. “I love you,” he said, breathless, smiling as he pressed his forehead to yours. “Come back to me, when you’re ready Honor -” he said, but stopped as his memories started turning foggy.
You sobbed as the smoke envelopes him, “I.. - I will” you reassured one last time, before letting him go and slipping away before he woke up from the short slumber caused by the mesmer match.
“Roll…” Tomoya blinked, confused as he looks around. “Strange…” he thought to himself he’s a picky sleeper so dozing off where he’s working was odd. “I don’t remember being seated where the princesses are..”
