Shining Gold | Narihisago and Taiyou

“I’m very glad you haven’t been thrust into kingship with no one there to help you, at least. To my admittedly limited understanding of them, they’re at least experienced and reliable.” Being a king seemed like a lot for even an adult to handle, let alone someone Taiyou’s age. Then again, he’d also met another young king recently. Narihisago wasn’t informed enough to know whether that was normal or not, but it didn’t concern him personally, either.

Narihisago chuckled a little at Taiyou’s encouragement. “I appreciate it, Taiyou-kun. I guess I just have a long way to go before I can be the person I want to be again, if that’s even possible for me anymore.” He took Taiyou’s hand in his own firmly, sealing their good terms with each other.

“I’m usually capable of taking care of myself, but I’m thankful for your offer.” He smiled a bit, trying not to darken the mood further than he already had. “And if you need me for anything, just ask for me, alright?”

“I think you definitely can.” Taiyou’s smile was friendly, determined, and most of all radiated like the sun, for which he was named for. His grip tightened as he clasped the pink haired man’s, exerting only enough strength to make it a firm grasp and not something that could hurt. He knew most King’s were extremely strong physically and he wasn’t sure just how much given that he’d met none and had so far not needed to use force when dealing with anyone, but it was always on the forefront of his mind. So far, he had no problems keeping most of his abilities in check. 

The teen grinned in response. “No doubt about it!” He chuckled as he released the others hand. “Sure thing. If I need an awesome detective around I’ll give you a ring.” He tapped his head, showing that as he’d already mentioned being a walking cellphone, calling him was only a simple matter of willing it. “It’d be really cool to see you in action.”

Taiyou lowered his hand from his head and then waved it, the starlit night as well as the planets that had circled them dissipated and was replaced by the lush greenery of the park as well as the sun rays which now mercilessly blinded his blue eyes, eyes that had adjusted to the dark scene that he’d enveloped them in previously. “Take care, Narihisago-san.” Unless there was more the older man needed Taiyou didn’t see a point to lingering in his celestial world any longer. Just as he counted on, not a single person in the park had so much as batted an eyelash at the two male’s. 

Taiyou’s soccer ball had returned to normal and he kicked it, a light tap that would knock it a few feet away and Taiyou chased after it, turning slightly to raise a hand in parting towards the pink haired man. “Bye, Detective-san!” With his final farewell out of the way, Taiyou resumed kicking the ball around the park, laughing happily when a few kids taking interest decided to join in.

Justice || Akira & Taiyou

“Sorry about that, Taiyou-kun.” At the friendly but nevertheless firm admonishment from his King, Akira was quick to correct himself accordingly. Honestly, it just didn’t feel quite right to address a direct superior so casually, though of course Taiyou’s own point stood in opposition of that. Regardless, ultimately he figured that the least he could do was adhere to the boy’s wishes.

He raised his hand to his chin at Taiyou’s suggestion. Kicking around a soccer ball wasn’t a usual hobby for him, though he couldn’t deny that doing so was a great way to boost his body’s stamina. Still, it wasn’t like he needed the training right this instant. Actually, it had been something else that had drawn him here, a concern that had been pressing on his mind all day, distracting him from all else as his attention got mired deep within his thoughts.

“Not today,” he responded with a dismissive wave of his hand. “I came by because I’ve been thinking about something all day, and–” He cut himself off. Truth be told, he hadn’t entirely reasoned out his purpose for coming to Taiyou with this. Whether he just needed someone to bounce ideas off of, or he wanted the boy’s own input, or… something else, he hadn’t really figured that part out. He had just felt like his King would be the best person to talk about such a thing with, given the deep impression of impassioned loyalty he felt emanating from him. So–

“It’s about… what I talked to you about last time. I can’t let the corruption in this society go on like this, so I’ve been thinking about taking matters into my own hands. Phantom Thieves… What if I can form a small band of Phantom Thieves? People like us who just want to see society reforged…” He’d gotten the initial inspiration from some TV show that had been on while he was feeding the alley cats. It wasn’t like he knew a lot of people, much less people he trusted enough to share such ideals with, but it didn’t have to be a large group. Even just the idea of it was enough of a starting point to spark some hope into his heart.

Taiyou nodded easily as Akira declined his invitation as he’d mostly expected that reply. He let Akira continue on only to give a small tilt of his head as he stopped abruptly mid sentence. Confusion was soon replaced with slight concern, his mind running through the worst possible scenario’s. His blue eyes gave the dark haired male standing before him a quick, noticeable scan but he seemed mostly intact so the matter certainly wasn’t a physical concern in nature.. Or so he hoped. Far be it from Taiyou to assume someone’s health at a glance given his past issues concerning his own illness.

“Ah.” What they’d talked about last time.. Akira gave him a brief recap of that and the concern vanished from his expression. He did remember that conversation given, in his personal opinion, the oddity of it. Taiyou had more or less agreed with his views but it seemed as though Akira had made up his mind regarding that. 

Taiyou crossed his arms over his chest as he looked serious and thoughtful. “Phantom Thieves, huh..” The name did sound pretty cool. “It sounds like something out of an anime.” He joked lightly, his usual smile coming back to him, but seeing as though his words could potentially be misconstrued as making light of the situation his smile disappeared and he uttered a small apology. 

“If that’s what you want to do.. I’m not opposed to it.” He uncrossed one of his arms so he could bring a finger to his chin in contemplation. “You’re strong and capable so I think you’ll be fine. So far.. Well, in regards to the rabbits..” The rabbits as he referred to his predecessors clansman, who had largely taken over the duties of the late Gold King had also operated in a similar fashion, almost a separate entity of Taiyou’s new clan. It already felt like they were split into different cliques despite all of them sharing the same power. Although Akira was much different compared to them. 

“What I mean to say is they do their own thing. I don’t think I can help you with it..” Taiyou lowered his head in much deeper thought this time. Generally he was a person who easily spoke his mind and didn’t think carefully before he said anything but something told him this was a serious topic that weighed heavily on his clansman’s mind. “It’s not that I don’t want to.. I’m pretty busy with school and all that. But like the rabbits I don’t mind if you do your own thing. I can support you from the sidelines and if something ever gets dicey you can contact me immediately.”

He once more allowed his friendly smile of his to return. “But how do you plan on going about it? This Phantom Thieves business. Do you have people in mind?””

a brilliant meteor || taiyou & luvia

She’d braced herself as best as she could, somehow managing to spread her weight evenly enough that she didn’t fall over. However, her muscles were straining with the effort of keeping herself standing, bending nearly backwards from the force of the hit–thank goodness for being more durable than the average human. Still, that strength was marvelous! 

The ball bounced harmlessly to the side as she slowly straightened, hearing a voice calling out to her. Her face was certainly stinging, an angry red mark showing exactly where the ball had slammed into her face. She brought her hand up to try and check the damage, but thought better of it with the way her skin seemed to be on fire at that moment. 

Through watery eyes, she could see a younger boy had approached, asking if she was alright. “Y..Yes,” she managed to answer after some effort. “Yes, I’m alright, but that was quite a splendid kick. Were you the one who hit it?” she asked. “The fault lies with me though, I should have paid more attention to my surroundings.” Well, she could also blame it on that phone call, but it would be immature of her when she hadn’t been paying attention. 

Gingerly, she lifted her hand to her nose, feeling a strange sensation, pulling it away to find a bit of blood–though at least nothing felt broken. “Ah, pardon me. Could I trouble you for some tissues or paper towels?”

Taiyou winced and hissed as if he shared in her pain. As he stood before her he held out his hand, letting it hover before her face in an act to show his apology, wanting to reach out and touch the red mark across her face as if the act would somehow soothe it. Though naturally Taiyou did nothing more but reach out and kept from touching her. The woman had already done what he’d wanted and brought her hand to her cheek.

“Eh? Huh? Oh, no..” Taiyou knit his brows, concern reflected in his blue eyes. “You shouldn’t blame yourself for that. That was no one else’s fault but mine.. I got careless. I’m really sorry.” Mustering all the apology he could into every muscle and fiber of his being, Taiyou bent forward in an apologetic gesture. He immediately righted his posture as more so than an apology treatment was most necessary right now. 

“It’s no trouble at all! Wait right here!” He raced back to his teammates and more specifically his manager who after witnessing the scene for herself, was already prepared with everything needed. It took not time at all for Taiyou to race back to the woman with the ringlets and he held out a bright yellow unused towel as well as an ice pack. 

“Here you go.” Gingerly, he placed both items within her hands. “That doesn’t look good.. I think you might need more than just paper towels.. Do you want me to call a doctor for you?” 

[shawn-and-aiden-frost-9]

“You’ll definitely be able to! You fought so hard with all your might! I’m sure your health will get better so you can go back to the field! As long as you give it all you’ve got, you’ll be able to overcome any obstacle. You’re the one who taught me that!”

Shining Gold | Narihisago and Taiyou

nxrihisago​:

Taiyou was certainly quick-witted. Narihisago nodded his confirmation. “Yes, almost exactly like that. Which is why I found it odd that you seemed to be a common link in a lot of the Scepter 4 clansmen’s minds. It was a little concerning.”

Narihisago listened to the young king’s explanation of his ability. It seemed to be a scattered explanation, but he couldn’t really blame Taiyou for that. Such a complex web of abilities that came with being chosen as a king was surely a lot to be thrown into all at once. "I know you can figure it out as you grow with your abilities, Taiyou-kun, and I’m sure your clansmen will be able to help you.”

The next question sort of threw Narihisago for a loop. He hadn’t expected to be asked about his past. “…No. I’m not.”

“Something happened and I… did something I shouldn’t have.” He didn’t regret killing his daughter’s killer; rather, he regretted what he became afterwards. “A cop shouldn’t do what I did. And so I’m not a cop anymore.”

Taiyou smiled then rubbed at his cheek. “Yeah.. My clan is actually.. surprisingly big.. and they are sort of helpful.” They were leftover clansman from Kokujoji’s reign as the Gold King. Their oriental rabbit-esque attire came to mind as he thought about how he didn’t even know how any of them looked.. especially when they wore those masks. As per Taiyou’s request they didn’t interfere in his life and basically handled the businesses that his predecessor had managed. 

He wasn’t sure if he could call them his clansman though. They weren’t ones he’d selected and he sort felt of lost and left out of things when it came to them.. but he respected them because they didn’t treat him as some dumb kid. 

Taiyou’s smile vanished at Narihisago’s reaction to his question. He thought it was innocent but given how the pink haired male’s expression dropped he could tell something heavily weighed on his shoulders. “I... see.” He didn’t think he had a right to pry into it so he wouldn’t. Whatever it was it felt too heavy a burden for the man.

“I don’t know what happened but I do know one thing. I don’t think you’re a bad person. You approached me because you were troubled by something you’d seen concerning me. Even if you’re not a cop or a detective.. you’re still helping people. I think that counts for something.” Even if he wasn’t helping anyone he still helped Taiyou and just as he said he was concerned about him. 

“I’ve grown a little fond of you Mr. ex cop.” Taiyou smiled and carefully stepped down from his perch on top of Saturn and closed the distance between them and outstretched his hand, gesturing for the male to take it. “At the very least I’m on your side. Next time someone messes with you let me know. I’ll be sure to return the favor!” He hoped the other male wouldn’t misunderstand him and think he was just trying to flex his powers. In his own way he was trying to cheer the other up.

Justice || Akira & Taiyou

@sunkinged

The soccer field Taiyou frequented wasn’t exactly on the way back to his apartment, but occasionally, including today, Akira was okay changing up his routine to stop by. Although their relationship was still fairly new at this point, the sense of camaraderie Akira felt with Taiyou ran deep. The bond he’d forged with the golden-haired kid had already carved such an immutable impression into his heart. Put simply, something about Taiyou resonated with Akira in such a way that he felt almost compelled to trust the boy with everything. Such feelings had been what had urged him to so readily join the gold clan, and so far he certainly had no regrets in that regard.

Akira stood outside the field’s bounds, observing his King in action for a moment as he silently finished his iced coffee. Then, tossing the cup into a nearby disposal bin, he stopped delaying and stepped out onto the field, raising one arm in greeting. “Hey, Amemiya-san! You got anything going on right now?”

[sunkinged-blog]

Even though he was the famed soccer freak in school, little did others know that he did have interests outside of playing soccer in school and that was... playing soccer outside of school. Hm, maybe the initial impression wasn’t off. Well, not entirely. Every once in a while it was good to take a break from practice and he and his teammates had resolved themselves to doing that. Today it was fine to just be a group of young teenagers and head into town. Maybe hang out at an arcade for a bit. 

When they’d played themselves to the point of exhausting what meager funds they had left, they bid each other farewell and everyone went their separate ways. They didn’t have much money to begin with so the sun was still up, bearing down mercilessly overhead. It was perfect soccer playing weather. He couldn’t pass this chance up! And he had time to kill! Well, he should be getting back and doing his homework but he was fairly sure he could knock it out in a few hours. 

Taiyou headed straight to his normal haunt outside of the school island field, and that was the one located in the Shizume City Park. It was a huge grounds with a baseball field, skate park, and yup, you guessed it, a soccer field. Equipped with his soccer ball, Taiyou kicked the ball around, testing different runs or techniques. Even by himself soccer was still fun. He really couldn’t get enough of it. 

He wasn’t the least bit worn out given that his King status had the nice perk of prolonging his stamina but he still felt it was time for a break when one of his clansman called out to him. It was the older male he’d met a while back. They hadn’t known each other for long but Taiyou could instantly tell he was a good person. He was surprisingly intuitive and he felt that the older male was somewhat similar in that regard. “Oh!” Taiyou smiled wide, running up to the male and then stopped, frowning. “You’re older than me. It’s kind of weird if you address me that way. Just Taiyou is fine.”

The teen was still clutching the ball in his hands but then dropped it onto the grass, his smile soon returning. “Nope! As you can see I’m by myself today just killing time. Why? What’s up? You want to join?” Taiyou grinned, but didn’t at all expect him to.

Shining Gold | Narihisago and Taiyou

nxrihisago​:

The young king’s honesty was a bit refreshing, and Narihisago found his curiosity as a good sign. He hoped Taiyou held on to that, even if being a king suddenly thrust him into a world full of responsibility at such a young age. “My power only allows me a couple of seconds of glimpses into someone’s mind. If I want to make anything of it, I need to use reasoning. Otherwise, it’s just a slideshow with no meaning.”

Narihisago hummed as he considered Taiyou’s question. “It’s a bit complicated. I can choose when to use it, but there are times when I don’t. If I make physical contact with someone, I can use my ability, or I can decide not to. If I do, I can’t choose what I see. I only see something near the front of someone’s mind, even if they aren’t actively thinking about it right that moment. Something fresh, if you will.” He frowned a little thinking about the next part of his explanation.

“Although it will activate involuntarily if someone feels strongly. Should someone’s emotions surge, there is a chance that the memories causing them to feel that way will broadcast themselves to me, and I can see those memories without wanting to.” He gave a small chuckle, trying to lighten up a bit. “I think I would rather have your sort of telepathy, since I assume you can control that much.”

“Oooh, I get it!” Taiyou’s eyes lit up, twinkling almost like the stars in the space that they currently inhabited. “So it’s like looking at pictures or something at a crime scene!” He had made the connection with that since Narihisago said he had been a detective. It was a neat power to have but at the same time it absolutely didn’t diminish Narihisago’s skills. At least not in his eyes. 

“Hm.. It’s not like I can read minds or anything.” Honestly, he felt blessed and overwhelmed enough with his current powers. And he wasn’t even quite sure he had a grasp on what exactly it encompassed. “I’m not really sure how to describe it.. My friend made the connection with technology kind of being like space in a way.” At that Taiyou tapped at his chin with his finger, his bright blue eyes looking upward as he tried to remember exactly how his friend had phrased it.

 “Kind of like.. cyberspace? Maybe? But then I guess it would apply to head space as well..? Ah, maybe it’s not like that at all. Sorry, I guess I’m still trying to figure it out.” He chuckled, settling both his hands into his lap.

“By the way..” Taiyou fixed his gaze back on the other male, his smile softening. “You said you used to be a detective right? You’re not anymore now?”

a brilliant meteor || taiyou & luvia

@sunkinged​

A sigh left her lips, albeit silently. It wouldn’t be proper if she let it be heard by the one on the other end of the phone line, but the conversation at hand was the same tired spiel she’d heard countless times before. The day’s plan and schedule all laid out for her, reminding her that she needed to attend a lecture later, and that she needed to check on another shipment. 

Really, she’d wanted to take today as a day to relax, so she could have some time to herself but that didn’t seem to exist. Well, the lecture was important and she did enjoy her studies, but she’d just made her rounds yesterday. Surely she didn’t need to check on them every time.

“Yes, I understand,” she stated briskly. “If you’ll excuse me, I need to be going. There’s something I’d like to take care of beforehand. Yes. Goodbye.” Once she was finally free and the call had ended, she let out a much louder, more exhausted sigh. At the very least, she was going to get some time to herself today before class.

She noticed then that the path she’d been walking had brought her by a sports field, where it seemed some sort of game was going on. Or perhaps it was practice. She was familiar with it, vaguely, though she deemed it a bit confusing, since it seemed to have two names depending where in the world you were, and one even belonged to another sport entirely. Her phone buzzed again then, drawing her out of her thoughts as she grimaced. “Oh now what?”

Though in the moment her attention was drawn away from the game, she didn’t even get the chance to draw her phone before a warning shout sounded, and she was too late in turning to look, resulting in a stray ball careening into her face.

Ah, so this was how today was going to go. Lovely.

[sunkinged-blog]

Another day of doing what he loved most in the world. Soccer. Of course playing it with his friends and teammates made the game so much better. As soon as classes ended for the day he’d rushed out the door to start a practice match. The team had divided itself into two teams and they’d decided to do a match just for fun. Somehow their innocent, fun game had erupted into friendly rivalry and competition. It was fun still but now they were taking it seriously. 

Taiyou did his best to keep his powers in check so that they could have a fair and honest session, but he ended up kicking the ball much, much harder than he intended. He wasn’t one for holding back and he made sure to give everything his all. It was a disrespect to the game if he didn’t. Even still.. he really didn’t need to send the ball careening into outer space. “Ah, there it goes..” his teammate held out a hand over their eyes to visor them from the blaring sun. 

Taiyou’s eyes widened when he noticed that the ball seemed to be making a pit stop before space however. Instead of heading to the moon it was aiming directly at a passing girl. Oh, no. A knot settled into the pit of his stomach and he lunged forward as if the act would help his shouts sound louder. “Hey!! Watch out!!” 

It was too late as the black and white ball connected to the female’s face. With all the force he had mustered into that shot there was no way she wouldn’t be in for a world of hurt. If she was still standing after that he’d commend her fortitude, but for now his priority lay in immediately rushing to her side. His teammates followed suit but kept their distance as soon as Taiyou made it to the girl’s side. 

“Hey, are you alright?” It was such a cliche question and he knew it sounded stupid but it was better than Hey, you’re still alive, right?

Shining Gold | Narihisago and Taiyou

nxrihisago:

Taiyou’s mentioning that Narihisago was a nice father sent a pang of guilt through him. If he was as nice a father as he Taiyou said, then why hadn’t he… He knew he shouldn’t dwell on it. He needn’t burden this kid with his own problems. He listened to Taiyou’s opinion on Scepter 4. He agreed with a lot of the points. They were just doing their job, although given his own situation with them, he knew they would go through certain lengths to accomplish it.

His heart sank a little when Taiyou mentioned that he didn’t particularly want the kingship to begin with, but the following statement brought Narihisago some relief. He could tell Taiyou really cared about soccer. He didn’t know what to what extent, but it was good for someone his age to be able to indulge in something fun like that.

“I’m glad you’re able to continue with your passions, Taiyou-kun, even with, or even because of your king status.”

Taiyou’s inquiry gave him pause. He didn’t want to risk scaring Taiyou, since his power was so… invasive, but he knew he should give Taiyou some explanation. The only other conclusion was that he was someone dangerous, since he’d been less than specific about his ties with Scepter 4.

“I’m a strain,” Narihisago confessed. “That’s why Scepter 4 has ties on me. Beyond that, they’re interested in my ability. I can see into someone’s subconscious mind, but only a little. I’m not a clansmen, but they’ve made a deal of sorts with me. I help with their investigations and they…” He paused. “Help me.” That was all he felt comfortable disclosing. “I saw that you were on their minds frequently. More than other strains.”

Taiyou cupped his chin in momentary thought, a wide smile spreading from ear to ear. “A detective with the power to see into the minds of others.. That’d definitely be useful, huh? Not that I’m saying you’re not a good detective in your own right.. I guess there’s no way for me to know either way.” He hoped the other wouldn’t think his vocal musings were insulting.

“Sorry. I’m the type who speaks my mind. I spent most of my life at a hospital so I didn’t get to talk to a whole lot of people much. But you can probably see that if you wanted to right? Or is your power involuntary?” He could be a very cheeky and playful kid but he always meant well.

He felt that they’d talked enough about him and his curiousity of the other was now piqued. Who wouldn’t be interested in the abilities or powers of others? “I’m still getting used to mine. The other day I found out I’m practically a walking cellphone!” He chuckled at the thought that his parents wouldn’t need to buy him a phone now..

Shining Gold | Narihisago and Taiyou

[sunkinged-blog]

nxrihisago‌:

Narihisago’s guess, while formed from information he had gathered from talking to Taiyou, was still just that: a guess. And he hadn’t entirely expected to be right. So when Taiyou confirmed his suspicions, Narihisago wasn’t sure how to process it. He was so young, still. Was he going to be okay managing an entire clan? He still had his youth to live out, and would this responsibility force him to cut those years short? Narihisago’s racing thoughts were themselves cut short by the young king’s display of power, galaxies and planets forming and swirling about.

The sight was breathtaking, and Narihisago watched as the small celestial bodies were manipulated by Taiyou. He wondered what the extent of the Gold King’s power was, but judging from Taiyou’s demeanor in the alley and how he spoke about it, he could safely assume it was much, much stronger than this show Taiyou was putting on for him now.

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Narihisago responded, waving a hand dismissively. “I don’t want a fight. I wouldn’t want you to fight either. As for why I approached you, you could say I was concerned about you.” He paused for a moment to consider his words. “You seemed to be around my daughter’s age, and I wouldn’t be very pleased if Scepter 4 had been bothering her,” he elaborated. “Nothing more.”

As Narihisago spoke, Taiyou shifted on his seat and planted both feet on Saturn’s rings, his expression serious for once. “I see... So it’s like that, huh..” Taiyou let out a heavy exhale as if he had been holding it in for a long time and then smiled. He knew he could take care of himself but he still didn’t want conflict of any kind and something told him he could believe the stranger’s words. He was relieved that there wouldn’t be a fight.

“Your daughter is lucky to have a nice dad.” His smile softened and he lapsed into silence momentarily before speaking again. “I think.. Scepter 4 isn’t bad.. They’re just doing their job.. But it’s bothersome, you know? I didn’t ask to be a King..” Sure, the powers were fun to play with every once in a while but that was something Scepter 4 had drilled into him. His powers were not a toy. He also knew the responsibilities that came with it the moment the rabbits showed up. It all felt too big for him - no, overwhelming.

“But I’m grateful.. If I hadn’t become a King I might not have been able to play soccer anymore.” He placed a hand on his chest over his heart and thought about all the times in the past where he had overexerted himself and would become a crumpled heap on the floor, too pained to do anymore activity and then promptly carted off back to his hospital room. This power had fortified his weak, sickly body.

“Thanks for being concerned about me, Narihisago-San. But.. How do you know Scepter 4 is bothering me? I didn’t see them today..” He’d been good so they hadn’t troubled themselves with Taiyou for a while. It’s possible this man saw them interacting with him another day and only decided to approach him now when he was alone.

[sunkinged-blog]

homrahime‌:

While Anna knew quiet days didn’t last quite too long, specially at the bar Homra, she wasn’t exactly expecting the silence to be broken with literal glass from one of the windows. Hearing what sounded like a ball bounce onto the wood floor shortly after the glass shattered, she turned around on the barstool to see what even had happened.

Blinking at the kickball on the floor and the window, she was confused where a kids toy like that would even come from since the park was a good bit away from this area. The answer to that though appeared in the form of a boy walking into the bar.

“….Were you the one who broke the window?” Anna questioned a bit curiously, cause while it was definitively possible a friend of his could’ve been the culprit by accident, it was still confusing why a group of kids were even playing out side this area. “It’s probably good Izumo is out today if so, he gets furious even if just the table is scuffed”

“Ah!?” At the sound of a soft, female voice, Taiyou nearly jumped a foot in the air and spun around, his hands now clutching the ball tighter as he searched the room for the source. Seated upon one of the stools in front of the bar was a young girl who looked similar in age to him. He must have been preoccupied with his thoughts to have overlooked her upon entering the bar since there’s no way he wouldn’t have noticed that snow white hair.

“... Yeah, it was me..” Taiyou hung his head, thinking that the girl would scold him or immediately go tell someone. The scolding never came but he did flinch at the mention of who he assumed was the bar master and confirmed that they’d be angry. “Right..?” He sighed, smiling bitterly. “I’ll apologize to the owner properly and pay for the damages. Do you mind if I wait here until they get back..?”

Now that he thought of it.. This was a bar, right? But now there were two young children in there without any adults. And what was with this girl? She appeared to know the owner so was she related in some way? The more he stared at her the more he felt a strange pull towards her. He couldn’t explain why but she felt different from others. The feeling felt familiar but different. Whatever it was it made him curious about her.

In the meantime, however, he should probably clean up the mess he made. “Do you know if there’s a broom I can use to clean this up?”

Shining Gold | Narihisago and Taiyou

[sunkinged-blog]

nxrihisago‌:

Narihisago’s common sense told him that following someone through an alley wasn’t exactly something smart to do, but it posed more of a threat to this kid than it did to him. To him, this meant that either the teenager was reckless, or incredibly confident that Narihisago wouldn’t or couldn’t hurt him. Given his ragged appearance, he assumed the teenager acted with the latter in mind.

“Ah.” Narihisago had let his manners slip from his mind entirely. It’d been a very long time since he’d needed to introduce himself to anyone. “Thank you for cooperating, Taiyou-kun.” Cooperating being a loose term; it felt more like Taiyou was playing with him by this point. “Apologies for not introducing myself sooner.”

“I’m Narihisago Akihito. Yes, I am a detective,” he explained before pausing and frowning. “Or I used to be.” He shook his head a little bit, trying not to focus on the cause of his dismissal from the force. “And yes. I am a strain.” He didn’t see any need to hide it from Taiyou, since the youth was a strain himself.

They exited the alleyway, and Narihisago hummed as he thought. “As for why they’re monitoring you so closely…” He considered what he knew so far: Scepter 4 kept much closer tabs on Taiyou than they did on your typical strain, the people at Scepter 4 had a lot in their subconscious about Taiyou, and Taiyou had the utmost confidence that Narihisago wouldn’t hurt him, or at the very least that he could handle himself if Narihisago tried anything. So he was either an incredibly powerful strain, or….

“Are you a king, maybe?”

“You got it right in one go! Nice going!” He did promise him a reward. Taiyou wasn’t sure if a display of his power would be sufficient but his friends really seemed to enjoy it and he really liked it too. The scenery around them changed in an instant. Instead of a blue sky and a bright sun shining through trees, their surroundings were replaced by a starry sky. Streams of pink and purple light formed nebulas in the distance. Taiyou’s soccer ball floated into the air and changed form to resemble a mini sun without the blinding brightness and heat. 

“Don’t worry. It’s not enough to activate my sanctum so they won’t come. Oh, don’t worry about anyone else. If I don’t want them too no one can see or hear us.” His smile softened as he raised his hand under the miniature sun, sphere like shapes multiplying behind it until they formed miniature versions of the rest of the planets. The miniature solar system floated there for a moment then began lazily floating towards Narihisago and rotated around him as if he were now the sun.

“I’m the new Gold King. My predecessor, Daikoku Kokujoji, was a really big deal, I guess. When they found out I was the new Gold King they really freaked out on me. But honestly I’m not really interested in any of it.” The teen chuckles a bit at this and raises his hand, flicking out a finger and an unseen force plucks Saturn away from Narihisago and towards him. He makes the planet a bit larger and sits on it, hugging one knee as one of his feet rests on the rings.

“But why did you want to know? You stopped me out of nowhere wanting to know my relationship with them. If you’re planning something like trying to use me to get at them you can forget it. I don’t want a fight.” Taiyou was having a really hard time trying to figure out the other’s aim. Was he a good person? A bad person? What did he want? Taiyou’s smile faded as he locked eyes with the ex-detective as if searching him for the answer. His power didn’t hold all the answers.

Clearly, this kid was expecting some other question, judging by the quick and fleeting look of hope in his eyes. Narihisago nearly missed it, and he felt a little bad for ruining whatever had jumped into his mind.

Narihisago listened to the teenager’s answer and gave a short laugh. He could definitely relate to finding them annoying, that’s for sure. “No, that’s alright. You could say that I’m… acquainted with them in a similar way. I’d rather not deal with them right now, either.” Though Narihisago had no doubt that there was a blue clansman nearby regardless, just to ensure that he didn’t cause trouble.

“I was just wondering why they’d be so concerned with someone your age,” he explained. He didn’t see fit to add that his curiosity was because he was a little worried about the kid being tangled up in Scepter 4, nor did he think he should reveal he only knew about it because he sifted through some of their memories. “Seems like a waste of resources considering how many of them have been approaching you. What’s your name?”

“Haha, right?” Taiyou grinned, leaning his head to the side. He dropped his hands to his side then kicked the ball up into the air, grabbing it with his hands and tucking it snugly under his arm. “Mm.. I could tell you. But not here. Let’s go this way.” With his free hand, Taiyou pointed to an alley on his left. “There’s a park through there.”

He gave the older male a smug smile then stepped first into the alley, trusting that the man would follow him. It was big enough for two to pass through with plenty of room to spare though it appeared much darker than where they were on the street. With the buildings stretched so high towards the sky it was no wonder that they’d blocked out the light from the sun. “Isn’t it customary to state your name first before asking others?” He gave the other a playful smile but decided to answer anyway.

“Amemiya Taiyou. Just Taiyou is fine. Are you a detective or something? Maybe a strain?” The teen looked straight ahead as he walked, pleased to see the familiar green of trees and grass in the distance. “I figure if you’re asking a lot of questions you’d be a detective right? And Scepter 4 only bothers themselves with strains. I guess you could be a kidnapper too.” He wasn’t at all phased if that last part was the case.

“So if you know Scepter 4 is bothering me.. Why do you think that is? I’ll give you a reward if you guess the answer right!” Just as he said that the two emerged from the alley, their shoes scraping against the concrete pathway that led into the lush greenery of the park. There were a few children playing about but he decided to stay away from them for now.

Narihisago wasn’t exactly prepared for the kid’s response. Then again, he didn’t have a read on how he was going to act at all, since the information he was able to glean from the minds of the blue clansmen didn’t exactly give him enough to work with. Plus, he had to admit his approach was a little blunt. He wasn’t exactly used to conversation anymore.

“I didn’t intend to fuss at you,” Narihisago responded. He remembered that he should probably make a little more clear that he didn’t intend to be unfriendly in any capacity. He gave a small smile, hoping to appear less… as he usually did. In addition to his usual tired and unapproachable appearance, the young teen didn’t know him, and being a dad himself, Narihisago had no doubt that his status as a stranger didn’t aid his credibility. That was the most important thing any parent taught their kid.

“You looked like you were having fun, so I apologize for interrupting. I’ll try not to take too much of your time.” Plus, the orange-haired youth seemed irritated with him as it was, so Narihisago figured he should just get to the point. “Do you know anyone at Scepter 4?” 

The smile from the stranger served to make the young male less tense, but none the less wary. “Oh.” Taiyou blinked. What would a stranger want with him if not to tell him off for kicking a ball around? Unless..?! Maybe he was a talent scout?!

Taiyou’s face lit up like the sun but then darkened, flinching at the mention of Scepter 4. Was he one of them..? He wasn’t dressed in blue. “Why.. do you want to know..?” With the soccer ball still under foot, Taiyou rolled the ball around without letting it go. 

“I don’t really know them know them.. But they’re always bothering me.” The teen stopped moving and threw his arms behind his head, closing his eyes as he stared the older male down. “But if you’re looking for them I could help you out. I know a way to get those guys to come real quick.” Taiyou chuckles, his eyes staring through the man, seeing something only he could see. “But.. It would end up being troublesome so I’d rather not.”

​He thought it would be fine but maybe the power had bloated his ego a bit. “Let’s just play on the way home! Nothing’ll happen! I’ll make sure of it!” So self-assured was the young King as he and his friends kicked the ball to each other on the side walk. They’d make a game out of it. Anyone who kicked the ball off the sidewalk would be out of bounds and lose!

Of course, Taiyou would use his powers to try and net the ball, keeping it from completely going into the street. They weren’t met to kick it high or far, but his friend accidentally did and before Taiyou could react the two flinched at the sound of breaking glass. The two stared at the now broken window then to each other, each gulping down a lump that had gotten caught in their throat.

 “I-It’s my fault.. Go ahead and go home. I’ll take responsibility.” He gave his friend more reassurance then stepped in front of the building. The sign above read that it was a bar. The young teen gulped again and knocked on the door. There was no response so he pushed on the doors finding them relenting without protest. 

“Um.. Hello..? Is anyone there..?” Maybe they were out? But who leaves their business open and unattended? In this situation he could grab the ball and run and no one would be the wiser but.. that’s not the kind of person Taiyou was. He’d pay for the damage and learn from his mistakes. Glass crunched underfoot as Taiyou walked over to his ball and picked it up, brows furrowed as he begrudgingly lamented a long life of washing dishes. Sigh.

Being constantly monitored was something Narihisago had come to live with. When he was in prison, he was closely watched by the guards. Now that he was released with certain conditions, he knew was being watched by someone in Scepter 4.

But Narihisago watched, as well. There wasn’t much else for him to do, outside of thinking, which he did way too much of as it is. He didn’t entirely trust Scepter 4, and he brushed shoulders with some of the clansmen in order to subtly get information.

Which is why when he noticed a young kid with bright hair in the streets, he had noticed them. He remembered them from other peoples’ memories, flashes of their face, some words here and there. He still wasn’t sure why, but he knew this kid had been questioned by Scepter 4. This kid couldn’t have been any older than his daughter was… and maybe that’s what spurred Narihisago’s curiosity the most. What would Scepter 4 need from a kid?

“Excuse me,” Narihisago called, approaching the teenager. “Do you mind if I ask you something?”

Things had been going fairly smoothly lately, fortunately. Those men in blue came in to check on him every once in a while much to his chagrin, but he was leading the life he’d always wanted. If being questioned by the blues was the price to pay for a healthy body he’d take it a million times over. No doubt about that.

Even now on his way home from school he was simply kicking the ball up and down in the air with his knees each time he took a step. It was certainly making the walk slower and gaining him unsavory side eyed glances from passerby’s but there was no way he’d let the ball out of his control. Perhaps that’s the reason why the older man called out to him, blocking Taiyou’s path and causing him to drop the ball. He gently stamped his shoe down on top of the ball to keep it from rolling away and regarded the man in front of him.

“I wasn’t going to hit anybody with it.” he protested almost immediately after the pink haired male finished talking. Normally at this point he would have just apologized and been on his way. His parents had taught him not to speak with strangers after all. But that was the old him. The new him was emboldened by his powers and knew he could take care of himself if it came down to it. Although that scenario was less than ideal. The Blue’s would probably hound him again and despite his earlier resolve he still didn’t want to deal with them if he didn’t have to. The thought made him sigh out loud.
