Hello & Happy New Year! Things were a little hectic for us during the holidays, but here’s a belated treat from the Te Amica Mea characters!
(〃´ω)ﾉ『☆｡o○☆ Gift Exchange ☆○o｡☆』ヽ(ω`〃 )
North to Sei
“North, you’re the best girlfriend ever : ) My favorite cookies! And we can go practice archery sometime, okay? Haha those hamsters, are they you and me? But I want to feed North instead, because you look cute when I feed you : ) Merry Christmas : )” --Sei
Sei to Macy
“AWWWW Sei!!! These are sooooo perfect! I can curl up and read my books AND have snacks for it! <3 <3 <3 Of course, there’s absolutely NO WAY I can finish these by myself~ So we’ll all have to eat the cookies, okay? ^^” --Macy
Macy to North
“Macy >//< thank you so much! Everything is so pretty and pink, my favorite color! I love them all, teach me how to play the tamagotchi and let’s eat the macarons together!!” -- North.
Lyra to Castor
“Holy fuck, babe, these are so damn beautiful. That statement on the jacket haha I fucking love it. And the colors on the iPod! Fuck! You get me, Lyra. You’re the sunshine that chases away the dark...you’re the best, Ly. So you wanna come over and listen to some music? ;)
PS: All I want for Christmas is you too ;)” --Cas
Castor to Joshua
“I can’t wait to share these with my girl. Thank you, Cas, let’s play some vinyl and make smoothies together.” -- Joshua
Joshua to Pollux
“Ah...these are lovely and very thoughtful. Haha, thank you. I can’t wait to display the roses in my library. And as for the projector and film reel, I have to say, these are rare finds. I need to stock up on reels and see if I can find classic black and white films; I’d be delighted if everyone can come watch as well. Thank you for the popcorn and the clapboard, I’ll have fun eating and entertaining myself with them, respectively. Merry Christmas.” -- Pol
Pollux to Lyra
“I don’t love cute things... but since you went to all the trouble to get it I guess I’ll keep it. And of course I’ll invite your brother hahaha... ahh, thank you for the gifts. Uh, let’s go watch the Christmas lights together the three of us later.” -- Lyra.
Pomegranate Tea; at what point did they know they loved their s/o?

Joshua
Oh, this is a good one. Thanks for the ask, Dana.
I don’t think there was a specific time when I noticed I had fallen for the best girl in the world haha. But I remember feeling my heart race thinking of her, her voice, her smile… the most beautiful. When I was sad I’d think of her and feel better, I was in love with her since the beginning, maybe since we met, because there’s no one else for me but her.
I don’t think you wake up one day and realize you’re in love with someone, you start feeling the need of being with that person, and slowly or suddenly your heart tells you how you feel.
I love her, even if my mind and my heart had never agreed, I love her.

Thank you so much for your ask!!!! TAM peeps are ready to answer them :)
“You carry the beauty of the sakuras -- I can't look away from you. You make my heart dance like the flowers swaying on the wind. And you take me far from the ground, the breeze of your laugh making me fly.”

Thank you Tsuki for the wonderful art of Kenji and Yuki, another pair for the Te Amica Mea series!
Hey guys! Can you believe it’s been a year since Te Amica Mea started? Believe me, we can’t either haha! But with our one-year anniversary also comes a special event:
Castor and Pollux’s birthday! (It’s on June 16 and this post is late, yes ^^;;;)
We’ve prepared a little something for you guys under the cut, we hope you like it! ^^
To all those who support us with this ambitious yet wonderful project, thank you so much! We’re looking forward to writing more and telling the story of these amazing characters! In the meantime, stay safe, stay healthy, and thank you for your love and support!
Oh. Well I gave North a lot of bears...haha she likes those. And food. We both like to eat so we eat out a lot, I like going to places where I can grill meat for her. Oh, we're both also sporty, so we do a lot of things together, like swimming or hiking. When she can't sleep, I make sure to tell her to stay warm and make sure she knows that I'm always here for her no matter what. Hmm...oh, and I always support her when she has cheerleading competitions or during pep rallies haha North always cheers for our team, so I want to be her cheerleader too.
She's a really special girl and I knew I wanted to be the one who’s always standing by her side...so there :) Haha...I’m the luckiest because she said yes when I asked her to be my girlfriend.

Thank you so much for your ask!!!! TAM peeps are ready to answer them :)
DON'T THINK I'LL STOP ASKING black tea for POL :smirk:
Black tea; what do they look for in a person?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Pol
What do I look for in someone I'd associate myself with? Like a friend. Hmm. Obviously, someone who's not a moron. Someone who's interesting, honest. I enjoy talking to people who are real. Humans have been so obsessed with labels and statuses...it's tiresome to keep pretending, isn't it? That's why I enjoy talking to young children --they have no notion of status, race, color, labels...they are the most interesting to speak to haha. Young minds with no prejudices and who see the world from a different perspective.
I’m interested in meeting all sorts of people, but to be my “friend”, I suppose I’m looking for people I can trust. People who aren’t mean, who aren’t bullies. People who won’t force me to do things I don’t like. People who appreciate quality, not quantity. People who will help me grow and who I can help as well.
Ah, perhaps I can compare this to a book. I enjoy reading books that surprise me, books that are interesting and tell a good story. I like books where good triumphs evil. I like books that take me to places I’ve never been to, worlds formed from the deepest depths of the mind. Whether it’s a light read or a heavy one, I don’t mind, but I don’t like shallow stories. The books I’d keep on my shelf are books I can read over and over again and never get tired of them, I’m constantly learning something new about them and about myself.
Ah...I apologize for the long answer. I hope that made sense. Thank you for your question, Dana, and I hope you have a nice day.

Hello, its been a while since we posted! We are happy to introduce two more characters in our series.
Meet Sei and North, our babies and youngest protagonists.
North is a hyper girl and Sei is a serious responsible guy.
We wrote a snippet based on an AU we thought would fit them, the cheerleader and the football captain.
Hope you like it!
｡☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆｡
Sei adjusts his duffel bag on his shoulder as he waits for his girlfriend on the field. The air still feels charged with excitement, schoolmates, staff and alumni still scattered around the area. Some people pass by and congratulate him for the win, and Sei manages to mutter “thank you’s” to them. To be honest, he does feel proud of his win, but he’s excited to share it with his girl, who’s disappeared into the locker rooms a while back to change.
Why do girls take so long in the restroom?
North pins her hair up and quickly puts her shoes on, the other girls giggling at the scene. “Is the football captain waiting for you?” One of the girls asks.
“So lucky!!” Two of the cheerleaders chant.
“Yes he is.” North answers putting all her things in her backpack. A mischievous grin on her lips, “Lucky? Yes to that too.” She winks at them and waves goodbye before exiting the room.
“Sei!!!!” North screams the moment she notices him by the entrance of the building.
Sei turns at the sound of her voice and sees North running towards him. His heart skips a beat and he braces his legs, opening his arms wide. When North jumps towards him, Sei bends his knees and scoops her into his arms, twirling her around once. A smile appears on his face, revealing his dimple. He loves carrying around his girlfriend, all 5 feet and 2 inches of her. With their huge height difference (Sei is 6’5”), he feels as though the only way to really protect his girl is to have her in his arms.
“Congratulations, Sei! You were amazing, you always are but we won because of you!” She holds his face, a big smile on her face. North cannot hide how happy he makes her.
Sei feels his face warming at her touch. He’s all too aware of her fingers on his cheeks. “North...thank you. But it’s because of everybody too, because you were cheering for us.” He brushes his lips on her cheek. “It’s because you cheered for me that I was able to play well tonight.”
“Because I believe in you, Sei. Because no one can do the things you can.”
A swell of pride bubbles in his chest and Sei beams at his girlfriend, happy that he could make her proud of him, happy that he could make her smile like that. He sets her down on the ground just as North’s tummy rumbles and she clutches the sides of her body. “I need food. I might pass out.” She says in a dramatic voice.
Sei chuckles and takes her small hand in his, leading her to his Jeep. “Well, the others invited us to pizzas and burgers. You want to go there?” Sei opens the passenger door for her and holds North’s waist, helping her into the car.
North yelps when Sei lifts her up so easily, she still gets surprised at her boyfriend’s strength. “Yes, sure, I can eat two whole pizzas right now.” Sei closes the door and goes around, when he gets in she’s staring at him.
"Why are you staring at me?" Sei asks, unconsciously furrowing his brows. "Is there something on my face?"
She laughs, “because I like you, Sei.”
His chest feels warm and his expression softens. "I like you too, North." He reaches out and strokes her cheek, gazing at her beautiful blue eyes before he looks forward and turns the key in the ignition. He can't allow his girlfriend to stay hungry like this. The Jeep roars to life and Sei pulls out of the parking lot, driving to the celebratory party.
“Did you see how high I could jump today? I think practicing with you is helping me improve my stunts.” North takes her water bottle from her bag and takes a big gulp from it.
Sei laughs as he glances at her drinking all that water. “Yes, I saw how high you were. I was worried...Are jumps that high safe?”
“They are safe as long as I’m careful, but you know the higher I jump the more excited the crowd gets. You were running faster today, are you getting extra training too?”
He nods. “Yes, I’ve been training a lot. I want to be worthy of my role as the captain now so I have to keep training hard. The coach has been helping me lots too, but all that training makes me hungry all the time.”
Her hand finds his and she smiles. “Sei, you don’t have to worry, I think you will be… hmm, you already are a great captain.” :smirk:
Sei laces his fingers through hers and smiles, saying nothing. If North believes in him, then he knows he’ll bring more victories for their school. They arrive at the restaurant and Sei jumps out of his car and jogs to her side, opening the door for her.
North unbuckles her seatbelt but doesn’t move when Sei opens the door. She blinks at him without saying a word and she points at her feet.
Sei immediately understands what she means. He moves close to the seat and then turns his back to her. “You have to hold on tight, okay?” There’s a smile on his face and he’s relieved he’s not facing her at the moment.
North leaps from the seat and lands on his back, her arms around his neck. His hair tickles her nose and she catches the scent of his shampoo. “Sei?”
“Yes?” Sei grabs her bare legs and holds her tight, taking his time to walk to the entrance.
Her fingers tuck his hair behind her ear and she moves her face closer to his, she kisses his cheek. “I love you.”
His entire being feels warm and Sei can’t help but blush. Although he wants to smile, an involuntary scowl appears on his face. “I...I love you too, North.”
Stop blushing, stop blushing! You’re a man...get a grip!
North smiles satisfied at her boyfriend’s rosy cheeks. She hugs him tighter and presses the side of her face on the back of his right shoulder. “When you hold me like this… the other girls say you spoil me too much.”
Sei feels her lying on his back and he relaxes. As long as she doesn’t notice his cheeks...he’ll be fine. “They do? Well, I like spoiling my girl.” And it’s true, there’s nothing he loves more than seeing North happy.
“I like it when you spoil me. I like being your girl.” North laughs, pure joy pouring from the sound.
“I like being yours.” Sei is grinning now, his dimple pronounced. They’re getting closer to the entrance now. “North, we’re here. I need to do something...so I have to let you down.”
“Oh, okay, Sei.” She lets go of him, he lowers her slowly until her feet reach the ground. “What is it?” North asks curiously.
Sei faces his girlfriend before taking her chin in his hands. Gently, he tips her head up so she’s looking at him. Without replying, Sei leans forward and kisses her, relishing in the softness of her lips.
North tiptoes, holding onto his shoulders and closes her eyes kissing him back. It’s a sweet kiss filled with emotions, the most important one -- love.
Sei’s eyes remain closed as he kisses her slowly, tenderly. His heart is overflowing with love for the girl in his arms. It’s a perfect end to a perfect night.
North smiles over the kiss and pulls him down. Sei matches her smile and leans in closer, deepening their kiss when all of a sudden, they hear noises behind them. Sei pulls away and they see the football team and the cheerleading squad crowding around the open door. The girls are giggling and they guys are giving Sei a thumbs up.
“I think we should join them.” North tells him before pecking his lips one last time. Sei was scowling at the guys but his annoyance disappears with her kiss. Interlocking his fingers with hers, he nods.
“Okay. Don’t leave my side, okay?”
North grins at him. “Never, I will be with you forever...” and a day.
