THE otp

[thinkanamelater]

Wow can you believe Meganebu hasn't died yet :)

I still ship Akira and Toru so here's this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  plus two close-ups because it ended up being bigger than I expected

“Welcome to-”, started Toru, just to be interrupted rudely by the newcomer, who just mumbled a ‘sorry’ and kept walking ahead. He couldn’t blame him though, dimension-crossing did leave the travelers fatigued, some even forgot how or who they were before getting there.

“Are you aware that this might not be the place you were going,” continued Toru, “This is a world that slowly retains its visitors. The longer you stay here, the longer you fusion with it. You will end up looking like the faceless people from the town you passed before. Crossing to the next world now is better.”

The newcomer suddenly stopped.

“I think I finally remember what I was looking for”, he said. “For a while I got confused and forgot what I was looking for, I just knew I nedded to keep jumping and crossing.

I think I was looking for you”

“Stained glass”, meganebu ship week (white)

A little explanation about this AU: The meganebu creates some sort of glasses that transport the user to parallel universes. For some reason, Toru ends up using them first. Since he is wearing the glasses (they got combined with his own glasses when he wore them the first time), he doesn’t “blend” with the others, but has been there enough time to see other people that arrived and became faceless (when I say that, I mean that they end up looking like the non-glassers from canonverse). But like all other previous glasses that meganebu ever made, they deteriorate with time, causing Toru to start losing his own memories.Meanwhile in their current dimension, meganebu+himakai are trying to get Toru back. They make another pair of glasses that might work the same, and Akira volunteers to bring Toru back; but the problem is that with each parallel universe he crosses, he also starts to lose his own memories. That until he ends up in an alternate version of Sabae, where Toru is. And then they need to figure out how to get away before both blend with the world.

Since it's the first time going on a dress somewhere besides her college's classes, a flustered, self-conscious trans girl Toru is walking with her gaze fixated on her steps, clutching her clothes and wanting to go back home, when literally bumps into someone.

When she's about to not apologize and run far far away, "Don't be shy, princess" comes from a bosterious loud voice she hasn't heard since long but couldn't possibly forgot. So she slowly glances up to lock eyes with Akira, who hasn't recognized her until that moment.

As he tries to say both "Oh" and "You look good" at the same time, she actually runs away, to spend the rest of the day debating herself between ignoring the texts he's sending and working up courage to answer them.

Toru grabbed onto Akira’s shirt and clenched his fists.

“You should go, Toru”

“No, I won’t!” He replied, almost shouting, closing tight his eyes. Akira slowly raised a hand and petted the other’s hair.

“Please… You’re only making this harder for you”

“No I’m not! I don’t wanna leave you!” Heavy tears slipped through his eyes ad down his cheeks, his voice cracking.

“Toru…” Akira inhaled painfully “Go. And please take care”

“I want you to take care of me!” Toru cried and pressed his face on Akira’s chest, making the mattress where he was lying sunk a bit.

“I will” Akira faintly kissed Toru’s head, and with his last effort sketched a soft smile, before closing his eyes and giving out his last exhale.

The smallest creaks of the floor made Toru’s eyes open wide, clutching his bed sheets as he tried to listen sharply. Yep, those were definitely footsteps, he concluded seconds later.

Soft footsteps. Definitely not Soma’s footsteps.

A chill ran down his back. So, who was in the house?

He considered getting up and investigating, but his hands didn’t let go the sheets and his legs didn’t obey. His mind wandered back to his roommate, cursing his heavy sleep, and still half-asleep he started to imagine what could be going on. What if there’s a robber in the house. But we don’t have anything of value. Oh, no, what if they think we’re hiding something valuable in the rooms? Soma could probably take them down. But what if they’re armed? Oh god. This is terrible. Armed robbers are here. What if they already killed Soma?!  What should I do? Should I wait? I don’t want to be next! Should I run? Please, megane god, if you’re out there-!

Terrified, he slowly worked up the courage to get up. A man has to take difficult paths sometimes. He put on his glasses and with all the self-control he could gathered, he walked out of the room, shaky hands holding his keys. Once in the hall he started to sprint towards the front door, but the kitchen light caught his attention.

He knew he was doomed.

He could fight against it as much as he wanted, but he could never win a match against his own curiosity.

So he headed there instead, muttering his last prayers.

“Soma?!” He yelled as soon as he pushed the kitchen door and saw his roommate in his underwear, in front of the fridge, licking a spoon. With a hand on his chest, trying to calm his fluttered heartbeats, he pulled a chair and drop himself on it.

Akira raised an eyebrow, genuinely startled and utterly confused.

“Toru? Toru, what’s wrong?” He approached the other who had taken out his glasses in order to cry undisturbed.

“You- You scared me, you idiot! I thought you were dead” (Akira had to choke down a laughter at that) “Don’t even… Don’t make me wake up in the middle of the night again, you idiot!” Toru screamed, pulling him closer by the shoulder due to the absence of clothes, and angrily pushed his lips together.

It wasn’t like he had always wanted to kiss him, but in this situation he had no other choice but do it. Really.  

 Akira smiled and slowly opened his mouth, letting Toru taste him better. And he did tasted good, as Toru couldn’t help but admit.

It was a weird feeling, accompanied for a familiar sweetness. A little too much familiar. And realization hit Toru.

“You were eating MY nutella!” He yelled as he pushed him away and annoyed when back to his room, but not without taking his jar of nutella with him.

Akira goes to visit Toru and Toru doesn’t know how to introduce him to his family

"He’s my classfriend- I mean, boymate- MY CLASSMATE! He’s my classmate... goddammit..."

Akira and Toru go on a romantic date and end the day in Toru's house.

Toru makes Akira sit down and tells him to wait a little, for he'll "slip into something more comfortable".

Akira tries to mentally prepare himself, but there's not enough preparation as turns out that Toru just changes into his school uniform.
