a little kiss. maybe even a little mwah mwah from yours truly

@1amsong

' hey , is this really okay ... ? ' it's the bittersweet end to a weekend afternoon , the sun setting behind them in a dazzling red-orange-yellow , violet creeping into its blended edges the same way that it does at the roots of the niwa's hair . mafuyu's kiss tickles him in all the right places --- first fuzzy on his cheek and then electric down his back , his skin splitting at the shoulders to make space for the hidden black branches of dark's wings that he doesn't reveal , no matter how much his heart's pound made him want to hop around in a dozen ecstatic circles , carelessly flourishing every plush feather like the extraneous limbs had been gasping for air .

his question , then , might as well have been rhetorical . or at least not centered over mafuyu's kiss , but the necessity of parting from it . the two of them had school . hobbies . obligations . all for the sake of a happy future that he could have ignored if only to devote himself to the other , because he was as confident a child as any other to be content with just his lover and the touch of their hands and lips together whenever they felt want or lonely , which was just another word for want .

was something like that fine ? even he with his wonderland fever could be reasonable : probably not . still he'd miss the other , something he doesn't say knowing it might hurt mafuyu to have to respond to , simple and obvious as the sentiment remains on the sharp features of dark's expression . never one to be entirely outdone or much less to abandon , he lets the marble chill of his hand take careful hold of mafuyu's before reproducing his usual smile : shy but glowing . his passing plead of longing like this graciously flutters back into affection , and the warm summer still burns thick and warm around them .

the daylight cicadas had gone quiet , leaving nothing more than the soft green glow of fireflies mingling with the slow red and blue blinks of radio towers . amidst their lights , he returns mafuyu's kiss , pressing it gingerly to the cheek and retreating transformed again . his hand , small but reliable , has yet to let mafuyu go . ' i'll walk you back home . the kiss , it was a really good parting gift . the best --- but , when i go back to azumano , um , will you be able to tell me ? ... when i can get to see you again ? '

is it morally ethic for a vampire nurse to ask for blood

@1amsong

don't worry about that. is it okay if he transforms because he's real embarrassed about the procedure or will he get a bad grade in blood-drawing

group hugggggg . starting with kanade leaning onto daisuke , then ena giving a hug of her own after observing for a few minutes , followed with mizuki enthusiastically tackling them , and finished with mafuyu joining the pile , snuggles them . niigo love <3

@1amsong

' eh ?! ' worry is the first thing to spring up at kanade's lean . immediately the niwa frets over the plausible worst : lightheadedness , nausea or sudden weakness signalling collapse , his small arms and shoulders quick to try to support the even-smaller figure of his company as he casts out an owlish glance towards the rest of the empty sekai .

( what do i do ... what do i do --- ?! )

should he have shouted for help , or simply brought kanade outside , directly to a hospital ? when he catches ena staring , he readily expects some form of urgent reproach for his blatant cluelessness and ineptitude --- not the warm clutch that follows instead , his heart leaping in a caught-off-guard instant . ' shinonome-san , w-wait ... ! '

he gasps as his chest pounds and his throat squeezes , while the usual robbing fever of his transformation starts --- but it's then that he realizes kanade's expression wasn't of pain but peace in his arms . mizuki's tackle soon follows , nearly bowling the entire growing nestle over ; then mafuyu , slipping in quietly yet still unmistakable in presence amidst close friends .

friends .

both his , and he who belonged to them . it troubles him briefly that even with dark's arms , he couldn't seem to properly surround , gather up and embrace ; protect them all . even his wings , which shift and curl about halfway around the ring of niigo's gathering , soon shed and dissolve . he's back to himself again , meek and red-faced , his heart still feeling like it might burst out of his chest at any moment , tears welling up in a glimmer at his eyes .

' guys --- ? ' each and every one of them knew that he liked , dearly liked , loved them , right ? that he had no other choice but to trust them , not just with himself and his own unnatural , criminal secrets , but with one another ; each other . he had his good faith and stubborn loyalty , and would try his best to make it a vow , if not a service whenever , wherever and however that he could for them .

anything to keep this . he would have done anything , whatever it took ---

even as he sinks and melts into the precious instant , he closes his eyes and swears his promises : never to forget this moment or its immense feeling ; the soft warmth radiating from niigo around him , and the way it welled up from the bottom-most depths of his heart . the whole world seemed to be here , and he was a part of it . he holds onto the others as he's held --- and even while the beat of his heart drums and tremors , he doesn't dare to let go .

[dnangelic]

" you know .. we still have my share of coins , right ? " there's a bit of amusement in mafuyu's voice , the corners of his lips turned for a subtle smile whilst observing the niwa from behind as he picked open the coin storage with precision and speed . then again , why did mafuyu wait until the last second to mention it ?

the arcade was bustling with its games' lights and claw machines to venture through , though it's weekday occupancy was rather weak thankfully - the two had made their way through specific ones to get prizes for niigo and the empty sekai's inhabitants ( or rather , those who had expressed interest ) ; with a combination of mafuyu's luck and daisuke's skills alike , it's only natural they would be walking about with several prizes now . the molang and piu piu plushies had caught mafuyu's eyes out of every oversized plush or rare prizes daisuke could have gotten for him , but its claw was rather weak to get through to anything , it seems .

" i think mizuki mentioned she felt this one was rigged ... it's okay if we don't get it . " ( also is it just me or these two would also kill it at ddr )

@1amsong

ehhhh --- ?! ' w-well , yeah , but ... ! ' he sputters a little at first ; he can't help it ! something about mafuyu's words made him feel caught --- and not just in the act of theft but his own selfless selfishness , the way that even if mafuyu did still have a small mound of yen to freely spend , the niwa was sure he didn't have the heart to take from it . what would it have meant to take from mafuyu's share , anyways ? he's already picked the machine's lock in less than a blink , his usually hidden hairpin jammed in and twisted with phenomenal , kaitō-class precision and technique . there was comfort in knowing that the machine had neither malice nor human face to wield against him .

( --- and if it was rigged from the start , ) his other self murmurs with a ghost's peer into the glass chamber , ( then it was already a cheat for your money . so , taking it all back is only fair . )

... right , fair . was it really fair to walk out with this many prizes , or for a phantom thief to enter an arcade in the first place , though ... ? he stews briefly in his sense of frustration , and as his furrowed brows reflect in sets against the machine's paneling mirrors , he can't help but see dark's grin hovering by his shoulder as its devilish snickers start to echo throughout his thoughts .

( the more difficult it is to obtain , the more you start to want it , right ? ... especially if it's for the sake of someone's happiness . )

mafuyu says it's okay , and yet still daisuke's feet stubbornly linger . true : the very fact it was unfair made him want to somehow overcome its making all that much more , somehow . ( would akiyama-san have felt a sort of relief and justice , if he said that he had ? ) opening the case itself wouldn't have been difficult in the slightest , but ---

' ... ah !! wiz ?! what are you doing in there ?! ' before he can even complete any thought the little white familiar's scrambled and climbed up into the prize chute with a hard-working kyuu-kyuu-kyuu . there , surfacing amongst the push rabbits and chickens , he gives his master a bright and big-eared smile from behind the glass . daisuke's dissuasions , though quick to surface , are hopeless --- at first wiz only nibbles then bites at the ear of a stuffed rabbit , violently shaking it in a show of subduing --- and then he tosses it neatly against the glass , where it thunks hard then lands neatly into the bottom of the chute with a second soft thump .

( alright , wiz ! that's the way !! ) ' --- n-no ... ! '

though , it wasn't as if he could just put the plush back in , right ?! wiz's long tail happily wags ; he hops and scurries and digs through the mass blanket of plushies , selecting-then-throwing another , another , then another , before finally leaving to return to daisuke's feet . at the bottom of the chute , a fresh small pile of prizes practically spill over themselves . the niwa flushes red , yet his hands still take them --- the pile bashfully offered to mafuyu as he tries to somewhat hide the fast-growing flush razing his cheeks .

' ... um . ' was there anything left to say for himself ? a glance into the machine again , the sound of his heart pounding in his ears , and he's met with dark's face . the small fortune of prizes too is finally handed over , in tandem with a chaste kiss onto the top of mafuyu's head . ' --- here , for you . ' a smile : if it was what mafuyu wanted the most , then no one , not even their pets , apparently , should have ever settled for anything less .

' --- and now we've still got all these coins , too . anything else you want to play , mafuyu ? '

can a grim reaper and a mermaid become friends. find love, perhaps,

@1amsong

when u give up an immortal mermaid soul and break out of a never-changing nihil in exchange for the immensely fleeting but sensational life of a mortal human being, one would hope that u would not only find friends but also love even in the pervasive presence of death
