“....forever?” Meiling was blushing hard; no point in hiding it now. “It’s not appropriate for the servant to desire the Mistress, after all...”

"Kissing is good for you...? Perhaps I should see if anybody wants to kiss...."

“Cry. Scream. Break something if you need to. Just… you need to process this somehow.” // kakucho to izana

A hand goes up in dismissal. Sure, processing it and letting it out was the healthy way to do things, but that wasn't Izana's style. Something ingrained in him about not looking weak or something. Whatever it was. So if just letting it eat at him so other people didn't know was how it worked, so be it. "I'll be fine, Kakucho. It isn't the first time and won't be the last." Could be the worst, maybe, but that wasn't the point. "Besides, if you push something deep down far enough, you'll eventually have to forget about it." So he could tell himself. Didn't work that way, but sounded good.

She'd thought they'd put all of this behind them for good because they had for over two years now. They'd all settled into normal lives and had their young adult lives to look forward to, but now it was like they were all fifteen again and the two boys most important to her were in serious danger again. Hakkai hadn't told her all of the details, just that Toman was going up against Mikey and Kanto Manji, but she knew this had to be bad if Toman was being resurrected after two years of being disbanded. She worried about Mitsuya not having Draken there for this like he always had been, every time she looked at the tattoo on his temple she got reminded why he shaved his head in the first place, paying homage to his oldest friend.

Her heart was beating fast even though the fight wasn't even until tomorrow, but Mitsuya wasn't staying at the Shiba house tonight so she wouldn't see him before he and Hakkai left for the fight. So walking him out to his Impulse could very well be the last time she ever saw him alive, and the thought alone made her want to cry. Yuzuha waited until they were next to his bike to pull on his shirt so he didn't immediately get on.

She didn't say anything at first, just wordlessly wrapped her arms tightly around his middle and buried her face in his chest, taking in the warmth of his body and the strength he still had that she hoped would be enough to keep him safe. And she lifted her head and stood on tiptoes enough to quickly kiss Mitsuya's cheek and nuzzle into his chest before she lost her nerve, Yuzuha turned her head so he could at least hear her. Talking too loud might cause her voice to break and show how close to crying she was.

"Just come home tomorrow. I don't care if I have to babysit you at the hospital for two weeks just to make sure you stay put the whole time this time, just come back to me tomorrow Mitsuya...."

Mitsuya would be lying if he said he wasn't scared; Two years of adjusting to not fighting unless called for, getting to plan for his future, getting to finally be with who he had fallen in love with and finally thinking things would work out. Only for a sudden whiplash for things to resurface. He had asked Hakkai not to tell his sister everything, knowing it would only make her worry more and he didn't want that. Especially not when it came down to that there wasn't anything she could really do in this situation. Why make her worry more than she already would?

As much as he would've loved to stay on the sidelines and out of it, he would always be the second division captain no matter what happened as long as he was alive- Whether Toman was disbanded once again after this fight, or even if it meant taking his last breath. Not having Draken there for backup was a bit nervewracking on top of all of it, but he knew he'd be watching them and that would have to be enough. He couldn't let their former vice commander see him scared, after all.

Usually he would be staying with her, but he knew this would be tough on his mother and his sisters, and he knew him not being there for the last night wouldn't help anything and he didn't dare ask her to stay with him, knowing she was just as worried about Hakkai and knew she should get what time she could with him while she could. Feeling the tug, he glanced at her as he processed her arms around him and face being hidden into him.

Hearing the words from her broke his heart even more as his arms wrapped around her, holding her in a tight but yet still gentle hug and his face pressed against hers to nuzzle her in reassurance. "I'll do everything I can to make sure of it. I promise. I'll do whatever it takes to make it back home to you, and I'll do what I can to bring Hakkai back with me." No, he couldn't promise anything other than trying, but he knew this was just as hard for her.

(¬‿¬) @ junsui .... mona vc: revenge ):

Junsui lets out a sigh. He deserved this for asking her to strip. Off goes his scarf.

"We are even now. Hope you are happy." He certainly doesn't look it, the grump.

"So I've figured out you have a crush on me, Meiling. Anything else you've been wanting to tell me~?" - ripplesof595years

@ripplesof595years

“What??!” Meiling’s eyes went wide. ‘Shit! How did she find out?! I was so careful…’

“I…. uh, what are you talking about, Mistress Flandre?”

[vexingvixens]

"Meeeeeeiling, I'm curious. Have any crushes we oughta know about?"

@ripplesof495years

“Well, Patchouli, Shou, Marisa, Murasa, Youmu, to name a few. I crush on a lot of girls,” Meiling ticked a few names off. “And um…” she glanced at Flandre for a few seconds before blushing hard and glancing down at her feet. “Yeah…”
