When he was four, he wandered into the woods on his own, drawn by the dark and cool air and the rush of sinking his feet into the cold river, letting his toes press into the rich mud. He was always, always, supposed to go with someone - with Sae, at the very least - but for some reason, he thought it'd be okay to go alone.

Yoichi hasn't said a word about…it, so Michael certainly won't be the one between them to bring it up.

Michael and Yoichi end up the subject of yet another curse. This time, they're left to determine the cause - and the solution - on their own.

"God," Karasu mutters, and Yo glances up to find his eyelids fluttering, a hazy sort of smirk on his lips. Yo stills, hand warm. "Ya look so hot with yer fingers inside me."

According to Hiori, someone's offering a lot of money for Tabito to keep an eye on…something. He's not sure what, but if Hiori's involved- well, if Hiori's involved, Tabito ain't sure he even has much of a choice. Better to take the money - tuition ain't gonna pay itself, after all.

Somewhere along the line, Tabito's pretty sure he stepped right out of harmless and interesting and took a sharp left into unnecessary and risky

Tabito seeks out some assistance - or, as much as he can justify, anyway.

"Just went ta work on somethin' in the lab after ya fell asleep," Hiori continues lightly. And - still a damn daydreamer - Tabito turns in his chair a bit. "Yeah? 'n what's that?" he tries, and Hiori glances over, gaze fixed a little sharper. "Ya wanna find out?"

Tabito's been crushing on his new roommate for a couple months now, but there's really no sense in getting his hopes up. Hiori's brilliant, beautiful, and extremely skilled with magic - what the hell would he want to do with Tabito, anyway?

"No strings, then." Shidou tenses, then tilts back just enough that furrowed brows over narrowed eyes come into clear view. "No spells." Sae flinches.

Sae honestly thought he'd never see Shidou again, let alone get a second chance - assuming he can stick to Shidou's rule and not cast any spells on him.

Obviously, obviously, it’s no ordinary headache - or whatever it is that Kaiser’s done to make Yoichi so…ugh. The bad news, of course, is that Yoichi now has to endure - and remedy - whatever spell Kaiser cast on him in retaliation for the one Yoichi did last night. The good news, then, is that his spell worked.

Yoichi's been engaged in a years-long battle to one-up Michael Kaiser with magic and, when Sae gives him a spell to destroy the thing Kaiser loves most, Yoichi almost doesn't bother - what could Michael Kaiser love enough to care about losing?
