月が綺麗ですね

The rustling sound of paper and the light scratches of the pen resounded lowly into the room as you organize a stack of paperwork for the head of the clan.

Kamisato Ayato. The head of the Yashiro commission and the Kamisato Clan. You began working under him ever since he took his place as the head and you were formerly Ayaka's playmate. How you became his secretary and aid was a story you'd rather not talk about.

"Could you get me the elders' proposal for the upcoming festival?" His smooth voice interrupted your daydreaming as you hurriedly did as you were told.

"Here you go, my lord" You hand him a stack of paper before returning to your spot and wait for his next orders.

The moon had slowly risen up to replace the sun as the night sky was littered with stars ranging with different brightness yet the moon has the brightest glow, not shying away from the view of the people.

A tired sigh escaped his lips as he stretched his aching body from sitting in the same position for hours. His eyes scanned his office before landing on your sleeping form.

He was both amused and worried, how can you sleep so soundly while sitting up straight . He rang the bell and another servant came into the room.

"Bring a blanket and some tea." He ordered. He stood up from his position before carefully lifting up your sleeping form and

opening the door leading to a Cherry blossom tree, deciding this spot would be the best for a break.

He let himself relax in your presence, combing your hair as you slept on his lap. If the elders see you both like this, they probably faint from shock.

A small huff escaped his lips at the thought before gazing at your sleeping face. His hand caressing your face hesitantly, careful to not wake you up from your slumber.

"If only we could stay like this forever." He mutters before a knock echoes in the room. "Ayato-sama, the tea and blanket have been prepared."

"Leave it on beside me." He paid no mind to the extra eyes, why should he? The possible thing they could only do is gossip but it was already no secret in the household how he favors you than anyone.

He didn't know if you were that dense or you simply ignore the signs of affection he presents to you. Nonetheless, he still likes you no matter what.

You slowly wake up and Ayato quickly removes his hands from your face. It would rather be embarrassing and creepy if you caught him in that position after all.

You quickly notice your position. You both notice the warmth rising to your cheeks as you hastily sit beside him with your hands on your lap, back straight, and head high as if you weren't just sleeping on your employer's lap just a second ago.

The silence was so heavy for you and you couldn't help but curse internally for the awkwardness as Ayato continues to sip his tea elegantly.

"If you wanted to sleep more, you can use my lap." He patted his lap with a soft smile, amusement swirling in his eyes. "I even ordered a blanket for you to get comfortable."

"I-its fine..! I just felt tired earlier, now I'm refreshed. Have you finished the paperwork for today Ayato-sama?" He sighs at the mention of paperwork nonetheless, nods. "Thankfully yes and I managed to finish earlier than expected. More time to spend with you, I suppose."

Archons this man was driving you crazy. Sometimes you wish he wouldn't say those words without care but the thought of him saying those words to another person makes your insides burn with envy.

"The moon looks beautiful, isn't it?" Your breath hitched as you stare at him wide-eyed. He stares back at you, the same soft smile from before but you could see in his eyes. He was serious. You forced down a gulp.

You bit the bottom of your lip before replying, "I can die happy."

His pupils shook before embracing you in a tight hug. You don't know if it was the right decision to accept his confession nor do you know what the future has in store for the both of you but all you care about was how right it felt.

i searched and that was the appropriate response.

not me writing a whole ass oneshot over a character that's not even properly introduced yet 💀🖐🏻

I keep seeing some posts on Pinterest on "how to construct a character" and while not all of them are bad, the most grating ones to me are the lists. You know, the very simple ones like "what does your character like and dislike? What are their quirks?" etc. Like, that's all surface-level stuff. Preferring cats over dogs does not a character make.

And I'd argue that picking some character traits is only a little better. As in "this character is really brave, strong and cares for their friends". Ok? And?

Why does your character prefer cats over dogs? Do they prefer a companion that is more independent and in general more calm? Why are they brave? In which situation does that bravery falter? Why did they become strong? Do they always care for their friends or does their selfishness sometimes override that, either for good or for bad?

To make a good character you have to understand psychology at least to a degree. You gotta know how the human mind works at least in general, what kinds of events influence thoughts and actions in certain ways. And to know your character, you need to construct at least some kinds of motivations, ethics and morals, no matter how vague they are in your own mind.
