The last few days had been rather uneventful. And as much as he appreciated the lack of danger for him and his companion, the shortage in provisions was starting to appear in the back of his mind as a worry. At least they still had some tanks of water and fuel.
Mind already in auto-pilot, he stared into the emptiness of the path they had been traveling for the past day. It was a well constructed road, completely flat and unchanging... enough to make him lose his focus.
Wait, what was that? Tilting his head slightly, he tried to get a better look of the structure that appeared in his line of sight- a rundown building. Maybe some sort of old military tower or entrance to another place. There seemed to be some stuff scattered around, so there might be something useful if they looked inside
“Hey, Ruby” he called out, a hand moving back to gently hit her helmet and call her attention to the front, unsure if she was sleeping since she had been rather silent for a while -not that there was much to look at until now. Not even bothering to wait for her reaction, he simply turned the handle and directed their kettenkrad towards the ruins in front of them.
"3, 2, 1..." (Is it too late to ask for some Izuruby content? :3)
SEND “3, 2, 1…” FOR A NEW YEAR’S KISS FROM MY MUSE (it’s NEVER too late for the otp) @redxhuntress & @tsundere-model
Izumi was one to usually spend holiday time abroad, his parents always taking him into such trips as if to make it up for being absent all year long. And though he wasn’t opposed to spend such time with them, this time he reused the offer. The Starfes would happen right on Christmas, and after that there were CM recordings and other small lives, and before you know it, class would start again; there wasn’t exactly time for such holidays.
Yet, there was some level of regret on this matter when him -one of the few to have no plans- was put in charge of organizing the school’s New Year Party along with some guys from the student council. As someone who slept early every night and never ate past 9 the whole event felt as nothing but an elaborate torture and simultaneous waste of time. Yet, he was completely unable to shake himself free from the responsibility.
He might have spent the whole night bickering and complaining to everyone… if it wasn’t because a certain familiar face showed in the crowd. That long wing of black hair flowing softly behind her, the serene smile on her face highlighted by very delicate make-up.
!!
He had expected her to have plans… he had asked before and she didn’t seemed to have a romantic partner at the moment, but he would have guessed she’d rather go back home for the holidays than spending them surrounded by her students. Yet… he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic at the chance of spending this time with her.
She agreed easily, only commenting if Izumi wouldn’t feel rather bored in her company, to which he replied with a smile and a shake of his head. What could be better than spending this time with his crush? Nothing. Of course, Rose-sensei had no way of knowing that, and he had no plans of telling her about it… He had no chances with her anyway, so he’d rather just make use of the privilege of a cute student.
And so, he ended up escorting her through the night. Getting her a drink now and then, finding a place for her to sit when he shoes proved to be against her, and even guiding her for a short try of ballroom dancing. And he was truly happy all along, just being able to see her smile from so close-by.
They were now sitting in the balcony, him holding her shoes up while she rested her feet and her talking about her family, about why she had decided to spend her New Year’s here instead of back there. The moonlight fell tenderly over her brown buckles of hair and the white lines of her face, making her eyes sparkle, full of stars, whenever she looked straight at him. She was gorgeous and he was starstruck…
Five minutes left of the year, Leo and Madara announced between laughter, and Ruby laughed softly, a hand over her mouth as she did, white clouds leaving her lips regardless as the night was cold. She finally commented on the scarf Izumi was wearing -the same she had gifted him on his birthday- and he blushed, hiding the lower part of her face in the folds of warm fabric.
As the constant murmur of the music quieted down as the countdown for a New Year started, she thanked him for spending the night with her.
“No… Thank you, Rose-sensei. I was happy to spend the whole night with you. I’d be more than glad to spend all of my life with you” heated words in a heated situation, and he soon enough felt embarrassed and regretful. But she only laughed and let it pass, probably not giving it much thought to his words…
Which was frustrating in its own way… At least she hadn’t acted worried or creeped out, so he’d take this as a win…
20…19…
“Does Sena-kun has any wish for the New Year?”
To have Rose-sensei look my way once I’ve graduated.
To be able to be with her as much as possible this year.
To date her…
He nodded, red and nervous, frustrated and happy… a turmoil of emotions firing inside him just by seeing her face.
“I do…”
3…2…1…
Leaning forward he pressed her lips against his teacher’s cheek. A tender touch that lasted only a few seconds before he would pull away. A little red in her own cheeks (or was that’s Izumi’s imagination) she giggled before asking what had he wished for.
“If I were to say it, it wouldn’t come true~”
That next year I can kiss her on the lips instead.
Sonico always had a bit of a hard time saying no. If she could help she wanted to do it! So when she was asked to hand some cookies along with some fliers to promote the Halloween party, she accepted happily. She was supposed to share some at her uni and others at work.
Though she wondered if the other models would like to eat cookies... they had this image of being all about diets after all...
No point in worrying about that! The important thing was to give it a try! The worst thing that could happen is that they said they didn’t wanted any.
Walking over to the agency, Sonico’s eyes caught on the sight of a girl she usually saw around one of the meaner models. One that she was actually a bit scared of. After all, Sena-senpai always seemed to be in a bad mood.
“Hello there, would you like a cookie?” she asked walking over to the girl and presenting the little basket with cookies “We’re promoting a Halloween party on Milky Way for this very spooky time!”
Oh, this was really cute! “Look at this, Ruby-chan! Isn’t it cute? She was pointing at a costume idea that she found in a book full of patterns. It was--- a kappa! She giggled to herself looking at the green costume.
“Haru has made a Namahage before so a Kappa shouldn’t be too hard.” Not to mention that this was a book full of patterns so as long as she followed the guide, creating the costume would be easy. Though she didn’t think that a kappa was a very good idea. It wouldn’t suit her very well, she didn’t think.
“Did Ruby-chan decide on a costume? Haru is still having a hard time on deciding what she wanted to go.” Of COURSE she was going to make something so she can walk along that walkway with her costume. That stage was waiting for her and her costume, she knew it. Watch out world, she was coming for you with her newest and greatest creation!-- Once she could figure out what it was going to be, of course.
Merry Christmas RJ! I hope you are having a great time, enjoying what is left of the year! We met last year and I’m really glad about it! Thanks to you I was able to enjoy writing Izumi even when I was still unsure about his character. His relationship with Ruby is probably the longest one RP wise and I’m really glad about it! Passing from hating each other, to bickering ‘siblings’ to deeply in love with each other... such an interesting turn of events~ And they sure are the OTP with the most AU’s out of all our characters!
You are an amazing person, rper and friend. I really enjoy coming up with headcanons for our ships and i love doing little art exchanges with you. I hope we continue to be good friends from now on!
Real life isn’t always nice, but I know you can go through it! I’ll be here to cheer you on along the way and give you some good Izuruby content of course
@redxhuntress liked for a starter: [x]
((Hello helloooooo here’s your starter, hmu if you need anything changed!))
Haru has been training for years to be a Yamato Nadeshiko. You know, the definition of Japanese beauty? A perfect bride for the one she was destined to be with for the rest of her life. What a romantic idea, wasn’t it? To find someone who loved you just as much as you did them?
She trained by learning how to cook better, and how to clean around the house so it sparkled and shined~ Tsuna’s mother was a perfect example of one and she strives to be the very best that she could be. Gentle, beautiful, compassionate and-- definitely not doubleslapping someone across the face.
Her temper was not something that fit the Yamato Nadeshiko role. “Haru dares you to try that again!” Did you really think she would meekly allow you to strike her behind and get away with it? Think again! She doesn’t care if you get mad at her and start backing her up into a tree! Intimidated, yes, but is she going to back down? Not before she kicks your knee out, son!
She is acting tough but really she needed help. She either needed to be saved, or had to be dragged off to safety.
