Why I had such a huge delay in the second chapter of "...World Burn" Because my friend was visiting.
Okay, I'm exaggerating on the friend part, we just fuc- ahem. We just know each other from school.
(he went off to college in another city)
Anyway.
One time I wrote in my notes that I couldn't leave my bed. Well.. Not in that sense. This walking nonsense tried to tie me up so I wouldn't get off the couch (he was hoping I'd get more rest that way) but... While I was struggling I accidentally almost broke his nose with my foot.... (Sorry)
And then when he was feeling better, he poisoned himself with my medication.
So.... I don't think there's anything more to say here....
the most theatric idol group of yumenosaki high, knights, has their eyes set on you. it’s an uncomfortable situation to be in, but your diligence and hard work has their hearts tangled up in a twist. and as soon as they realize that they have to compete with each other for your affection, your situation turns from bad to worse.
their king holds an unnecessary meeting about this and while everyone in the unit knows this entire meeting is just going to be him acting like a toddler, they still go anyway.
leo, as expected, is pouting and whining. isn’t he the king? by hierarchical status, you are already automatically his. izumi has to swat his head and remind him that he isn’t actually a real king and that japan is a parliamentary government. the composer is quick to stick his tongue out—of course, he knows that! but leo keeps finding excuses to steer them away from your direction and no one is really swayed by his words when he’s grumbling underneath the warmth of the kotatsu as he peels oranges.
izumi mouths off as he leans against the wall. how annoying~ can any of these losers back off? obviously he’s the one you’re most interested in. didn’t they see the way you blushed when he approached you the other day? and so cutely too! izumi grins as he remembers the way you averted your eyesyou’re your little shriek when he put his face too closely to yours. isn’t that all the proof they need?
with steam blowing out of his ears, tsukasa stands up from the kotatsu to remind his senpai that that is not the correct way to treat a girl. by all means, he boldly declares, shouldn’t he be the one to take his lady’s hand? out of all these people, he’s been the one to stand by his lady’s side the longest! he shuts out ritsu’s correction that it was actually trickstar who’s been with her for the longest. that doesn’t matter! he’s been putting so much effort into seducing her with his cutesy act! he’s not going to let these people take her away!
ritsu shuts out izumi and tsukasa’s bickering as he sleepily dozes off under the kotatsu. mmm, this really doesn’t compare to the comfort of your soft lap. he’s daydreaming of a happy family with you and mao. won’t that be the best? ritsu the husband and you and mao as his two devoted wives, fussing over him after he comes back from work. he makes a sleepy mental note to take this up with mao soon, knowing just how taken mao is with you too.
clasping her compact mirror shut, arashi rolls her eyes at everyone’s gimmicks. honestly, these brute boys really don’t know how to win their way into a woman’s heart. when izumi asks her why she should know better, arashi proclaims that she is a girl too, after all! she knows what’s best for her cute producer! you’d be the best couple ever, wearing cute things and looking cute together! her soft producer isn’t going to be seduced by these deplorable boys, never!
the entire room is a mess. leo, tsukasa, and izumi engaged in a silly battle over who seduced producer best, ritsu dozing off, and arashi packing her things before heading out to go meet with producer.
“can’t we just keep her for a bit to ourselves?” ritsu’s sleepy voice suggests, muffled a bit by the kotatsu’s thick cloth, but it stops everyone in the room nonetheless. tsukasa’s a bit conflicted by the suggestion, but leo and izumi are totally up for it. arashi ponders about it for a bit, but this is too good of an offer to pass up. with an outcome of 4 versus one, the honorable knights go on their way.
izumi and arashi are the ones who keep you beautiful and well-dressed. the two models switch up your looks every day, as if you’re nothing more than a doll to them. izumi assures you that you aren’t with a soft smile that you’ve only ever seen being directed to makoto. arashi applies a little bit of blush and pecks a fond kiss on your cheek. aren’t you just the prettiest? they cook you food and baby you together, but that’s where the similarities end. arashi is gentle, a bit possessive, but gentle, although you don’t like the dark look in her eyes when you say something wrong. izumi is demanding and belittling, the one to wipe the tears away after he’s bullied you. it’s a play of good cop and bad cop, but you’re not quite sure on who’s good.
leo swings by every day without fail, bringing stacks of paper for him to compose on. you are his muse after all! how can anyone expect him to compose when he can’t see you? he hums to you and sings lyrics of your kindness and diligence. they come off as fanatical and borderline crazy and the rest of the knights tell him so. leo pouts but writes new ones anyway. leo kisses you everywhere like it’s the last day of his life. he’s just so smitten with you! it’s really hard to keep his hands off you.
despite everyone’s protests, ritsu brings mao along to meet with you. the mao you knew would’ve hurried and called the police once he confirmed your kidnapping, but he only looked you up and down appreciatively as he took in your dolled-up appearance. ritsu, finding solace in your company, takes a nap on your lap. you hear that the rest of trickstar has been searching nonstop for you along with the rest of the academy, but ritsu can honestly give less of a damn. you’re his to keep, why should he bother sharing?
tsukasa brings you cakes and sweets every day. he’s really sorry, really, that you were caught up in all of this, but you take note of how tsukasa isn’t doing anything to release you. when you ask, tsukasa sheepishly scratches the back of his neck. well… if you were at the academy, he’d have less time with you. but now that you’re here all alone, with him and him alone, isn’t this a dream come true. the queen he’s sworn to protect is now his to hold and cherish! he simply won’t stand for anyone else tarnishing you with their touch!
of course, the fight for your heart still goes on. no one’s sure what’s going to happen in the future, but if they’re the ones who gets you in the end, they don’t really care.
their producer has been taking care of them from the start, it’s high time they repay their debt.
there is so much wonderful and thoughtful analysis out there on why solas is probably felassan posessed by fen'harel, but I'm just here like............. Finally an explanation for that ugly hat he wears at halamshiral
