╰┈➤ 📁 CIRCUS LOVE | SHION.G

This was written before his initial full character reveal so I apologise in advance if its ooc :( | NOT PROOFREAD!!

Shion Genkai has his own way of showing his love.

He performs in a circus, so he's all about thrill and fun — that includes his feelings towards you. Other people court someone with chocolates, music, gifts — but in the eyes of a circus performer, it's bland, boring and has no sheer thrill in it.

Whenever a deadly trick was played in the circus, the adrenaline rushes within the audience, followed by silence, then a scream. While the general students cower in fear, you, a regular customer in Dionysia, stood among the crowd, clapping with a smile adorning your face.

That's when the infamous Shion Genkai takes interest in you.

The circus buzzed in joy as Shion grabs a torch, putting it on his mouth before breathing a fire, he keeps his eyes glued to your seat and seeing your face contorted in admiration, he can't help but feel the adrenaline rush in his veins — he feels thrilled.

“eek! he's staring over here again…” a general student shivered beside you. you glanced back at the stage only to find a pair of golden eyes looking at yours.

tilting your head, you gave him a small wave. In response, Shion continues his performance until the show is over.

little did you know, that small wave would change your life.

A soft sigh escaped from the young salmon-haired man, “there he goes again…” he said, looking at Shion, who strides his way towards you.

“Do you want me to stop him? I can go.” Jo suggested,

“Stop him? but it looks like Shion is on his discovery of love” Elias said, leaning on the tree, “this is the first time he took interest with someone aside from the sinostra’s captain” he added, Mio merely clicked his tongue, grumbling how Shion doesn't share the same interest in Taiga unlike yours.

Humming to yourself, you flipped the next page of the biology book, writing whatever words you can highlight in your notebook while your friend does the same.

“Hey [Name], can you— AHH!”

flinching, you snapped your head towards your friend — only to be met by a flame.

you didn't dare to move. the fire from the match almost touches your nose, if you move, your face would be done for.

Shion keep a keen eye on your reaction, with the flick of his hand, the match turns into a beautiful rose — deep red and very thorny on the sides.

“For you, my fair lady.” he hands you the rose, which you took from his offer, trying your best to avoid the thorns. You blinked, before giving a warm smile, “Thank you, that was one of the amazing trick I've seen.” you said, glancing at his bleeding hand, “are you…”

“Freetime is up, Shion. we need to head back to the circus.” Mio’s voice alerted the male. Shion huffed before turning to follow Mio and the others.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned his head at your direction, sticking out his burnt tongue, taking out a piece of poker card from his mouth before flicking it at your direction.

“Come, take a peek behind the curtain. Dionysia’s next act was rehearsed with you in mind.”

📱 an: requests are open for tkdb! god I hope I did his personality a little bit of justice | receipts

Elias stealing candy from you

Hear me out.

His addiction has been getting worse, the sugar, the rush, the little hit of sweetness he craves throughout the day. and well, you are sweeter than any candy he has ever had. So in his mind, that piece of candy sitting on your tongue? It's been blessed. It has to taste better than anything he could unwrap himself. Right?

A mischievous and sly man like Elias would never miss an opportunity like that.

It happened on one of those afternoons when a few students dropped by to thank you for helping them. Little tokens of appreciation: a pack of gummies here, some lollipops there. You'd dumped the haul onto your shared table, already offering Elias his share because there was no way you'd finish them all yourself.

You unwrap a small ruby candy, pop it into your mouth, and let it rest against the inside of your cheek.

You feel Elias’s gaze on the side of your face. You lift your eyes and raise your eyebrows in confusion.

“What? Do I have something on my fac-”

But before you can even finish your sentence, he’s already in front of you, his face so close that your breaths mingle. You can even smell the fruity sweetness wrapping around you that always seems to linger around him.

And then, out of nowhere, he kisses you.

You’ve gotten used to the fact that Elias always steals kisses from you left and right, completely at random. Even when you're on high alert, he still manages to sneak one or two kisses from you. What a sly man. And his kisses always taste incredibly sweet, thanks to the sugary remnants always clinging to the corner of his lips.

Just when you think this is another one of his quick, stolen kisses, his tongue suddenly slips past your lips. Before you can even react, he pulls away. You don't realize what's happened until he sticks out his tongue with that signature smug expression. There it is, your candy. That little ruby-red drop rests neatly on his tongue, as if it belongs there. As if it's finally returned to its rightful owner.

"Why did you do that?!”

He shrugged, completely unbothered. "I was just craving something sweet.”

As if he didn’t just kiss you to steal something from your lips.

You pointed at the mountain of wrappers next to him. "I gave you an entire pile of candy!”

"It doesn't taste as sweet as you(rs).”

In conclusion, you can never win against Elias Pratt ^^

Not because he's smooth, though he is. Not because he's sly, though that too. But because he is the most shameless person you've ever met.

SPOILERS

BRO Jin was so mad MC chose Rui over him 😭

This dude is acting like it's a break up scene 💔

[subakagami]

hihi ^^ can i request a sho x reader where the mc gets pinned down? maybe if they were fooling around and fake fighting

remember to stay hydrated <3

Sho Haizono x gn!Reader

Content: fluff, Sho pins down reader, kissing? making out (not heavy), non-established relationship

A/N: my first request…! i tried! wasnt too sure if the request wanted smut or not so i just added a bit of making out only:3 also oh me goodness fluff is hardest for me, im not sure if im particularly content with this one><sorry to anyone who cringed #ididtoo (also thank you anon!stay healthy as well) Rules for Requests

“Hey,” you look up from the stack of paper to see Sho sitting at the end of the couch in Vagastrom’s dorm. “Are those the paperworks for the mission we just went on?”

Waving and giving a small smile you reply, “Yeah. Professor Dante told me to have one final look over it with you guys.” Looking around the dorm, you ask Sho, “Alan and Leo aren’t here?”

“Nah, they left. Said something about Captain and Vice-Captain duties. So, it’s only me.” Sho pats the seat beside him, “Come sit beside me, Senpai.”

Walking towards the couch, you notice how quiet the usual loud dorm is today. The couple of students you saw when you first entered seem to have left through the back door and you haven’t spotted anyone else entering the dorm. It was just you and Sho here.

Sitting down beside him, you place the stack on the small table in front of you guys. You pick up the first paper on top to start the review and turn your body to face him. 

“Ok. So, since I already wrote a summary of what happened during the mission, I don’t think we need to go over that,” eyes on the paper you start reading in your head what you wrote, “let me just double check with you some specifics about the anomaly–” 

Suddenly snickering into your hand as you recall the events of the mission, you lower the paper to your lap, hiding it from Sho’s view.

Sho looks over at you with a slight smile, curious about what’s making you chuckle, “What is it?”

“Oh. Nothing…I-I was just thinking about what you did during the mission,” you start to giggle harder. “Pfft…You almost got your ass beat by that anomoly…”

Sho pouts at your teasing but a smile can’t resist creeping up on his face. Even though you were technically laughing at him, you looked so cute giggling beside him. If he’s the reason that’s making you smile, he’ll put himself in any kind of situation for you. But just because it makes you laugh, he didn’t want others, especially any professors, to know what exactly happened. His embarrassing moments were for your eyes only!

“Wait, Senpai…” Sho speaks up as his face falters into a more nervous smile, “you didn’t go into full details of my, um, encounter with the anomaly in the report, right?”

“Hm…Maybe I did? Maybe I didn't? I’m instructed to explain how strong that anomaly was!” you continue laughing, lifting the paper back up so you could continue reading.

“What! You know you don’t have to go into a lot of detail. Let me see what you wrote.” Sho pleads as he attempts to grab the paper from your hands.

As you see him reach out, you lift the paper up and move it behind you. “No way. You know I'm obligated to properly recount every single detail about a mission. What if you try to change it? I can’t go against the ‘Official Darkwick Inspector Guidebook’!”

Sho laughs, you definitely just made up the existence of that book right now, “Yeah, like something like that totally exists.” He leans in closer to you, “now let me see or i’ll…I’ll just let you be eaten by an anomaly next time, Senpai.”

Of course Sho is lying. You know him and he would never put you in harm's way. So you giggle at his terrible bluff, “As if! I know how much you care about me.”

Copying your earlier remark, Sho smirks, “Hm…I don’t know, maybe I do? Maybe I don’t?”

Suddenly, Sho further extends his arm, attempting to see what you wrote one last time. If he can’t get a hold of that paper this time, he’ll just let you submit it as it is. What’s the worst you could have wrote?

Seeing him move closer, you lean back a bit to get away from him. Without any support behind you, your back hits the soft couch. On the other hand, Sho, who hadn’t expected you to fall so flatly on your back, nearly topples on top of you. Saved by his fast reflexes, both his hands extends to the sides of your head, propping him hovering over you.

Neither of you say anything, quite surprised by the current situation, as you two stare into each other’s eyes.

Sho was always so kind to you. When you were hungry after a long day, he would always offer to bring over some warm, hearty food. His ears were always open for you to mindlessly complain about all the menial tasks Darkwick would force upon you. And whenever you went on a mission with his house, you noticed how Sho always looked out for your well-being, often putting your safety above his own. 

To say you were grateful for his presence would be an understatement, and to say you only saw him as a friend would also be a lie. 

You hoped he knew you were joking about your teasing. Not even wanting to entertain the possibility of this conversation impacting your friendship, you speak up first, “I-I didn’t actually–”

“Can I kiss you, Senpai?” Sho cuts off your explanation, as one of his hands goes to cup your cheek.

Eyes wide at his question, you simply nod as you close your eyes and move your head up to capture his lips. His mouth meets yours and they’re incredibly soft. The two of you quickly melt into the kiss as Sho uses his lips to gently push your head back onto the couch. 

Focused completely on Sho’s touch, you’re unsure where to put your arms as they rest on either side of you. You start to feel more restless, wanting to feel him more and your hands brush against the front of his shirt. 

Sho notices your fidgeting and breaks from the kiss with an exhale, “Around my neck. You can wrap your arms around my neck, Senpai.”

You do what Sho suggests and move your arms to interlock them around his neck. With this, you pull his face closer to yours, connecting your lips again. Sho lets out a small exclamation of content, enjoying the taste of you as you slightly part your lips, allowing his tongue to meet yours.

Quiet sighs leave the two of you and warmth spreads throughout your body. The lack of air was dizzying but his tempting lips consume you as you further lean into him.  

After a couple minutes, Sho separates from your lips, giving the both of you some time to catch your breath. “Hah…Hah…I was just trying to protect you from the anomaly, by the way.” He moves his mouth to start kissing the side of your face, down your cheek and along your jaw.

You breathe heavily and your eyes follow his movements. Accepting his kisses, you reply, “So, what you’re saying is that I’m important to you?” Snickering as those words left your mouth, you remove your arms from his neck and move your hands to cup each side of his face making him look into your eyes.

He doesn’t respond, instead just connecting his lips to yours again. He believes this to be a sufficient answer to your question.

As you kiss him back, Sho notices the previous paper lying face-up above your head and his eyes dart towards it. No mention of his struggle against the anomaly in sight; just a simple sentence that always seems to appear in every report with Vagastrom.

Sho Haizono protected me from danger.

Jin × Reader (figureskater!Jin)

tags: fluff (hooray!), kinda? slow burn, love at first sight, gn reader or: when u fall for Jin but he falls harder wc: 1.3k

Jin is known as the Ice Prince.

As he should be.

Three times world champion, and two times Olympic gold medalist.

He reigns on the ice, and the world knows that.

His nickname also stems from his icy personality.

His interviews are short, clipped, and frosty. Only answers relevant questions, and when he does, his answers are succinct. Every time a reporter tries to ask about his dating life, or his sister— aka the Ice Princess, he shuts them down immediately.

Many had never seen him smile, even when he first won his gold medal. 

His unbothered, chill expression went viral, some calling him stuck-up, others calling him confident.

But he does smile for one person.

You.

~~~

The first time you saw him, you’d been with your friend at the local ice skating rink. 

Luckily, it was the evening of a weekday, so there was hardly anyone.

Laughing and holding hands as you both tried not to slip and fall, you caught a glimpse of a tall stranger with silver hair and blue tips.

You’d thought that he was a literal incarnation of the ice, with eyes resembling the frost itself.

Until you tumbled and fell on your butt, bringing your friend down with you.

When you got up, he was gone.

~~~

The second time you saw him was a month later.

You’d been practicing at the rink by yourself, determined to show off to your friend that now you could do a single spin.

As the closing time for the rink approached, you skated towards the exit and saw him.

Waiting.

Probably waiting for you to get off of the ice.

You couldn’t help but stare at his features, pale skin, sharp jawline, delicate lashes, and…

“Oomph!” 

You crashed into the wall and toppled forward, right as he caught you with strong arms.

The man sighed.

Deeply.

“….sorry about that,”you looked up bashfully, cheeks tinted red.

“…idiot,” he muttered, ears blushing. 

He turned away as you scrambled for the railing and held yourself up.

“Uhh… who are you?”

He swivled around, disbelief clouding his eyes.

“You seriously don’t know?”

“…no?”

“Aren’t you a fan?”

“…uhh…no.”

He exhaled.

“I’m Jin. Jin Kamurai.”

You nodded in reply and flashed a smile.

“Right! Thanks for, umm, catching me Jin!”

Jin stared at your back as you walked away.

No picture, no autograph, nothing.

You didn’t ask for any of those.

Well, since apparently you weren’t a fan.

But still.

It was nice interacting with you.

Although your spin desperately needed coaching.

~~~

You saw Jin many more times after that, and both of you somehow made it a routine to talk before he got on the ice for his personal practice. When you learned he was a professional, your jaw dropped in awe.

“Wait, so you can do more than one spin?!” you squealed.

“Obviously,” Jin scoffed.

“…damn,” you looked at him with newfound respect. “Even one spin is pretty hard.”

“That’s because you have the balance of a three-year-old.”

“I do not!!” You aimed a punch at him, except he dodged with a smirk on his annoyingly handsome face.

Well. 

Game on.

You jumped towards him, and it soon turned into a full-on chase, until Jin entered the rink smoothly.

“Hey! That’s cheating!”

Jin glided smoothly, then executed a spin effortlessly. 

While he was spinning, you quickly went to the entrance of the rink and got on the ice. Although you still couldn’t do a spin, you’ve gotten better at gliding.

One foot after another, and you were getting closer and closer to Jin, who was just about to end his spin. 

His expression turned alarmed just as you skidded forward.

“…gotchu!”

Only your punch went against nothing as you felt a dent in the ice with the tip of your blade, and you stumbled, twisting your ankle and falling face-forward.

Right into Jin’s arms.

You felt his breath on your ear, his strong arms grabbing yours, and his heartbeat pounding strong and true.

“…are you ok?” Jin murmured, except that since your ear was half pressed against his chest, it reverberated and sounded more deep. Caring. Sexy. Insanely hot and-

“…I… yeah!” you answered breathlessly, heart beating fast.

Holy shit. Holy shit. Fuck he’s hot. Oh my god I hope he doesn’t hear my heartbeat cause it’s beating fast as fuck-

Gently, he guided you so you could regain your balance. As soon as you put your weight on you left foot though, you winced and sucked in a breath. 

Jin didn’t miss your reaction and picked you up immediately, bridal style.

“I… what… what are you doing?!” you yelped.

“You sprained your ankle,” he answered nonchalantly, except his ears were tinged red at the tips.

“I’m fine!”

“No, you’re not.”

He carried you to one of the benches outside the rink and set you down, then kneeled before you.

Your heart skipped a beat.

He took off your skates and peeled back your sock with deft hands, inspecting your ankle. 

“This is why—“

He looked up.

And saw you gazing at him, eyes wide yet sparkling like the stars, cheeks red, mouth slightly open.

Something stirred inside him, and that was when he knew he loved you.

~~~

Three o’clock, January 21st.

The Winter Olympics were being held at Toronto, and the free program for men’s ice skating had just started. Jin Kamurai, representing Japan, was the top contender for the gold medal.

As usual.

Unfortunately, you couldn’t come because of your finals, but you’d promised him that you’d come immediately. You’d promised him that you’d send him a text when you landed.

The text wasn’t here yet.

Jin was worried, but he at least he knew that your plane departed safely. 

Maybe your plane was just late.

“Jin, you’re up in fifteen. Start your warmups,” his coach said, poking his head into the waiting room.

Jin answered with a noncommittal grunt, and with one last lingering look at his phone, he silenced it, then put it in his bag.

He was going to get the gold medal.

For you.

And then maybe he'd finally get the courage to ask you out.

~~~

Luckily, you’d arrived safely in Toronto, but because your mobile wifi stopped working, you couldn’t see his performance live. Or send him messages, which was driving you absolutely mad.

Please, please, please be alright, please make the performance go well, please, he deserves the gold medal—

“We’re here ma’am,” the taxi driver said. 

You didn’t hear the thank you that you said to the driver as you hurriedly paid him and rushed towards the hotel, wanting to meet Jin as fast as possible.

You saw him in the lobby.

Sweats and hoodie on, staring at the clock, one foot tapping impatiently against the marbled floor.

“Jin!”

He looked at you, eyes widening as you leapt towards him and buried yourself into his arms.

He smelled like bergamot, vanilla, ice, and him.

“I’m sorry, my wifi broke and I couldn’t see your performance but I really wanted to and—“

“Hey. It’s okay. You’re here now,”Jin murmured as he took your face into his hands and held it gently.

“How… how was it?”

His lips formed a faint smile.

“I got gold, obviously.”

“Oh my god, congratulations!!” You squealed, a big smile breaking out.

Right after, you pecked his lips as if on instinct.

Jin’s eyes widened.

His brain stopped.

“Um… was that too much?” You asked him uncertainly, peering up at him.

“No! No, uh, that was fine,” he said, blushing. “…can I kiss you back?”

In reply, you smiled at him, adoration in your eyes as you tiptoed and closed your eyes, tilting your face.

He cupped your head as you kissed, savoring the feeling of your soft lips on his.

The only thing that mattered to him right now was you, and he loved it.

author's note: this fic is dedicated to all who have been traumatized by ep24. i hope this fic helped with therapy. also i love soft jin. ↓btw my thoughts if i saw demon haku irl ↓ Holy shit. Holy shit. Fuck he’s hot. Oh my god I hope he doesn’t hear my heartbeat cause it’s beating fast as fuck-

Love Next Seat

Sometimes, the only motivation you need to have a perfect attendance is to be seatmates with your crush. But the question is, would it turn into something more? Or would it remain a buried secret for all eternity?

Pairing: Rui Mizuki x F!Reader

Genre: Fluff

A/N: A non-angst Rui fic that's not an OC x Canon fic written by me??? Shocking :0

Just kidding XD. This was based on the dream I had that I mentioned earlier. I thought it's finally a sign that I'll get his summer card but alas....

The dream's too cute for me to be upset about it though so I'm turning it into a fic instead. Happy reading!!

Other notes: Based on my experiences of having a long-time crush (please don't judge me ahshjsda 🙃); fishing out my mathematical knowledge just for this fic lolol

People have reasons why they go to school every day.

Some go because it's their responsibility as students to attend classes daily.

Some genuinely enjoy the classes and learning things.

And others go for the sake of getting their allowances.

But you? You had a different reason.

And that reason takes the form of one Rui Mizuki.

You had a crush on the guy since you were first years. And this year, by the grace of whichever god or angel or some other heavenly entity watching over you, he became not just your classmate, but your seatmate as well.

If you had already used up all of your luck in life because of this, you certainly didn't mind.

"Good morning!"

You greeted your classmates as you entered the classroom. Some of them returned the gesture by greeting you back or waving at you.

Your eyes zeroed in on a specific seat. Sitting there was the sole subject of your daydreams.

"Good morning, Rui!" you say, taking your seat next to him.

"Y/N! Morning!"

He grinned at you and you tried to ignore the way it made your heart do somersaults in your chest.

Okay, Y/N, keep it cool. Keep it calm. Absolute zen.

You took a deep breath to calm yourself as quiet chatter filled the air.

Soon, the bell rang and the classes began.

"........"

"........"

"........"

How on earth did you find yourself in this situation??

You glanced discreetly at the person in front of you.

Across from you, Rui was busy with his own work, while you were at your wit's end trying to comprehend what's happening.

Is this a dream? Are you actually having a library date with your crush right now???

You pinched yourself in the arm. It hurt.

Yep, this is definitely not a dream.

You swallowed dryly as you thought back to what had happened earlier today that brought you here.

"Y/N~ can you help me with this question?"

You raised a brow at your friend as she pointed at the equation written in her notes. It was lunch break, and you were busy scrolling on your phone when she tapped you on the shoulder.

"Isn't this supposed to be due today? Why are you only doing this now?"

Your friend scratched her neck sheepishly. "I fell asleep while I was doing it last night. But...! This is the only question left that I need to answer, and you're better at explaining these things than our teacher."

You sighed. "Fine. Go bring your chair over here."

"Yes! You're the best, Y/N!"

.

.

.

"...divide both sides by 4, and you'll get the answer. Did you get it?"

Your friend's eyes widened. "Oh my god, I actually got it."

You could only shake your head at your friend's bewilderment. You were by no means a top student. But that doesn't mean you were bad at studying too.

"Wow, you're really good at tutoring, Y/N," Rui's voice chimed in which made you flinch in surprise.

A sudden compliment?!

You almost clutched your chest.

"She totally is!" Your friend put an arm over your shoulder, pulling you close.

"Oh, I didn't do much. I only taught her what I know," you spluttered.

Rui smiled sadly at you. "Oh, come on. You're not giving yourself enough credit."

He then leaned closer to you.

"Say, Y/N. Do you mind if I ask you a favor?"

"A favor?" You blinked.

He nodded. "I was wondering if you could help me with studying later after school?"

You couldn't remember what happened next after your brain short-circuited, but you must've said yes considering the two of you are now in the library, sitting across each other.

"Y/N?"

"Y-Yes?" you squeaked.

Rui pointed at one of the equations in the textbook. "Do you know what formula to use for this?"

You looked to where he was pointing. A quadratic inequality problem.

"You should factor out the equation first before trying to solve it."

Grabbing a pen and paper, you wrote down the factors of the equation.

"Then you need to get the critical values. It's usually the reciprocal of the constant if your factors are binomials, like in this case."

You then drew a graph beside the factors you wrote.

"Since this is supposed to be less than zero, the values we're interested in are here," you pointed at the part of the parabola dipping below the x-axis. "The values located between the two critical points."

"You can write the answer down like this," you added as you wrote down the answer before circling it.

Rui nodded at your explanation. "I see... So like this?"

He showed you his worksheet.

"Yeah, like that."

He pumped a fist. "Nice! You really do have a knack for this, Y/N."

You can feel your cheeks warm up at his compliment. "T-thanks..."

"So..." you cleared your throat. "Is that all that you need help with?"

"Yeah," said the blond as he began to tidy up his things. "Your explanation was really easy to understand. Would you mind if we do this again same time tomorrow?"

Tomorrow?! We're doing this again tomorrow?!?

"S-sure..." was all you could say at the sudden request.

He beamed at your answer. "Sweet! Well, I'll see you tomorrow then."

"O-okay! See you tomorrow...!"

"Mom, I'll be going now!" you said as you rushed outside the door.

Shit shit shit! Why, oh why did you have to stay up so late last night?!

One of your favorite series just had a new episode and you got so caught up with it, you didn't notice that it was already past your bedtime.

Your mom said something on your way out, but you didn't quite catch it. It's probably just her nagging again, you thought.

Oh well. You'll just deal with it later after school.

"I... I made it..."

You were out of breath when you finally reached your classroom.

"Y/N, what happened to you?" asked one of your classmates.

You slumped on your seat. "One thing led to another and I missed my alarm, so I woke up late."

You ran a hand on your head and froze.

Your hair is a total mess right now.

Oh god... You've got to be kidding me.

You cursed yourself internally, mortified at the fact that you ran all the way here looking like this.

You tried to detangle your locks but it was proving to be difficult.

"Y/N... do you need help with that?"

You look up with a start. Rui was looking at you with a hint of concern.

"O-oh, um thanks, but I'll just ask [friend's name] instead—"

You paused, looking at the empty seat behind you. Your friend was out sick yesterday and she still hasn't recovered.

Just your rotten luck, you thought.

"If you're worried about me pulling your hair accidentally, I promise I'll do my best not to," Rui raised both hands as he tried to assuage you.

Your attention snapped back at him. "That's not what I— well..."

A beat passed before you looked away, feeling a blush creeping in. "I-if you don't mind..."

I can't believe this is actually happening right now...

You sat rigidly as Rui worked on detangling your hair. You tried your best not to squirm, especially whenever his fingertips made contact with your scalp.

You're absolutely certain you look like a ripe tomato right now.

"And... done! Do you wanna see?"

Rui handed you a compact mirror and with shaky hands, you took it.

Your eye widened when you saw your reflection.

Somehow, he had managed to fix your hair up into a braided updo coupled with a rose headband.

You looked up at him, dumbfounded.

He shrugged. "I just thought you'd appreciate it, since you seem bothered with your hair getting in your face."

You weren't able to say anything as the bell had rung in that moment.

"Rui! Do you wanna grab some burgers with us after school? We're planning to hit up a new joint that just opened."

A group of girls had crowded around Rui's desk during lunch.

It wasn't a rare occurence—Rui is pretty popular with the girls, after all.

You'd be lying if you say you weren't jealous. But you can't exactly control whoever he interacts with, and you're not his girlfriend so you doubt you even had the right to feel jealousy.

"Oh, hey!" Rui greeted the girls with his usual breezy tone. "Sorry, but I already got plans."

He glanced at you.

"Again?" one of the girls whinged. "That's like, what, the fourth time this week?"

"Fifth, actually," you mumbled thoughtlessly before catching yourself. You just hoped none of them caught that.

"Ahaha, really sorry about it," Rui smiled apologetically. "Maybe some other time, yeah?"

"...That's a promise, okay?"

"Yep!" he answered, before turning to you. "Well, Y/N? Shall we go?"

"R-right!"

You swiftly gathered your things into your bag and hurried after him, pointedly ignoring the burning stares of the girls you left behind.

"Y/N, will you check this for me please?"

Rui handed his worksheet to you. After a while, you handed it back to him.

"You answered them all correctly," you say.

"Really? That's great!" he sighed in relief. "I'm sure it's all thanks to your tutoring that I'm able to get the answers quickly."

You shook your head. "It's not just me. You're a pretty fast learner too, you know. It's kinda satisfying to watch you quickly absorb the lessons, to be honest."

Rui narrowed his eyes at your words. "Hmm... getting praised by you feels nice. Maybe I should aim for the top spot in our class next?"

You blushed. I-is he flirting with you right now?!

You internally slapped your cheeks. There's no way, you thought. Rui's like this to all your female classmates, not just you.

"You could try if you want to. I'm sure you can do it," you cheered him on, ignoring the way your chest had tightened.

"......."

A palpable silence permeated the space between you after that—it made you wonder if you had said the wrong thing.

"Y/N."

Your eyes flicked over to him.

"Are you free after this?"

You raised a brow at his left field question. "Yeah, I am. Why?"

He smiled, resting his chin on his hand. "Then, wanna hang out with me after this?"

You blinked, not processing the words you just heard.

"Why?" you ask dumbly.

Rui sighed, exasperated. "Do you really want me to spell it out for you? Will you go out with me on a date after this?"

A beat has passed, then another before you shouted, "WHAT?!"

"Shhh!"

You immediately clamped a hand on your mouth before quietly repeating yourself.

Rui only smiled at your baffled expression. "Ahaha, was it really that surprising?"

"It's just— I...!"

You took a deep breath to compose yourself.

"The question came out of nowhere! How do you expect me to react?!"

Rui chuckled and you pouted.

Is he seriously laughing right now after dropping such a huge bombshell on you?

"Sorry," he said as he wiped a tear from his eye. "I've been wanting to ask you out for a while now, but I couldn't find the right timing. So I asked you to tutor me to find the opportunity."

You gaped at him. You did get the feeling that he really didn't need the help with studying, but you pushed it down, wanting to spend more time with him alone.

"...Since when?"

"Hm?"

"Since when did you started to, you know..."

"Ah." Rui exclaimed in realization. "Since when did I start to like you?"

You nodded, unable to speak or look at him in the eye after hearing the word "like" from him.

"Hmm... let's see..." Rui paused in contemplation before continuing. "Probably around April this year?"

You remained silent as you digested the information down. So he liked you since this academic year started?

"You still haven't answered my question though."

You looked back up at him. "Question?"

"Yeah," Rui flashed a tired but soft smile. "Did you already forget? I asked you out on a date?"

"Oh!" your eyes widened as you remembered. "Yes, I would love to!"

Rui's smile morphed into a triumphant one as he rose from his seat. He held out a hand to you. "Let's get going then?"

You gingerly placed your hand on his. "Okay!"

You kept glancing back at your crush who is now holding your hand as the two of you made your way outside the school's premises. You still can't wrap your head around what had happened.

Wait... since you guys are dating, does this mean he's your boyfriend now?!

You felt yourself blush at the thought.

A car's honking jolted you out of your stupor. You looked up and paled in horror.

"Y/N?" Rui looked at you with concern.

You stared at the car in front of you. "That's my mom's car..."

Rui glanced at the vehicle then back at you. "I guess the date's canceled, then?"

You looked back at him apologetically. "I'm sorry. I didn't know she'd come by..."

Rui shrugged in response. "Don't worry about it. There's still next time. See you later?"

You nodded. "See you later."

You bid him goodbye and went straight for the car waiting for you.

"Mom, I didn't know you were coming!" you say as you closed the car door.

"I told you earlier this morning I'm picking you up," your mother scowled.

"Well, I didn't hear it," you retorted.

"Wow, who did your hair?" another voice asked from the passenger seat.

You jump with a start. "Sis, you're back?!"

Your older sister flashed you a grin. "Sure did! So, who did your hair? [Friend's name]?"

You shook your head. "No. It was... one of my male classmates."

You were uncertain if you should refer to Rui as your boyfriend.

"Male classmate... you mean that guy who was with you earlier?"

You nodded.

"Who was that? Your boyfriend?"

This time, it was your mother who asked the question.

You flinched, unsure on how to answer her.

Your sister grinned mischievously at you from the rearview mirror. "You got a boyfriend? What's his name?"

"Sis!!"

"Well, did you even thank him for fixing up your hair?" your mother glanced at you.

You paused, realizing that you had, in fact, forgotten to thank him for it. You immediately opened the door. He wasn't too far away yet.

"Rui!!" you shouted.

You saw him turn around.

"Thank you for doing my hair earlier!!"

He smiled and raised a hand, probably to say "No problem!".

You waved him goodbye and entered the car once more.

"So... Rui, huh?" your sister teased.

You groaned. "Stop it. Mom, please start the car."

"Yeah, yeah."

You leaned into the car window, watching as the view started to shift. You thought back to today's events and smiled.

If you had already used up all of your luck in life because of this, you certainly didn't mind.

You look at 𝕙im from your sitting position on a random hill you both drov𝕖 around practica𝕝ly all night searching as the perfect sp𝕠t to watch the sunrise when you're hit with his absolutely stunning beauty; the sky was at it's golden hour with the colorful sky blending together so perfectly that shone down on him, gi𝕧ing him an 𝕖ven more ethereal look to you. The variation𝕤 oranges, pinks, and reds to the faint traces of purples and blues complimented his complexion just so flawlessly.

"The sunlight reflexs on 𝕪𝕠𝕦 so perfectly." You quietly say, maybe with a tad 𝕓it of ins𝕖𝕔urity. He 𝕒lways felt way o𝕦t of your league; he wa𝕤 p𝕖rfect while 𝕪𝕠𝕦? Not so much.. You knew the𝕣𝕖 were people vying for his attention, hell, 𝕪𝕠𝕦 were one of them! But you just got lucky he noticed you and just so happened to love every little quirky thing you 𝕕id, might it be h𝕠w you tied your straw wrappers i𝕟𝕥o knots, how you hummed or sang when 𝕔leaning, or the silly little ways you organized.

And because 𝕙e noticed you, he noticed how mel𝕒𝕟cholic you sounded. He propped himself up on his elbows, his adorin𝕘 gaz𝕖 focusing on you. That gaze, it saw right through you, knew exactly what you were thinking.

"I'd look even better with you by my side; why don't you scoot closer?" His velvety voice lilted, and you complied. Why wouldn't you? The most perfect, most ethereal being you've ever seen wants you, not the men nor the women in a competition for his attention, but you.

Maybe you'll never be as perfect as he is, and maybe you'll always believe your nothing compared to him, but does that really matter when he chose you? When he holds you on those rough days? When you're nothing more than human? You'll always be a human, but atleast he's by your side.
