Modern AU; whats-been-lost

The first thing Sharon realises upon blearily opening her eyes is that the giant marshmallow she could have sworn she'd been bouncing on two seconds ago doesn't actually exist.

That said, she's still too sleepy to feel the full force of bitter disappointment; and her memories of the frankly absurd dream are already gradually slipping away, as she wriggles around and slowly manages to roll over onto her side.

It takes her a while to come to terms with her surroundings - obviously she's in bed but it's still a shock to the system when she's been frolicking around Candy Land for hours - but as things begin to make sense and the warmth of the blankets registers against her skin, she decides that it's not the worst thing that's ever happened to her.

In fact she almost slips back into her dreams, until the lump next to her shifts slightly before settling down as if it never moved at all.

The second thing Sharon realises is that Break is still asleep.

She's awake before him.

This never happens.

This needs to be celebrated! Or at least marked on the calendar. Should she text Reim? Take a picture for evidence when Break later attempts to deny it? Then again, she can barely see him given how he's buried himself beneath the covers.

He hasn't smothered himself, right? 

This moment in time is unlikely to ever repeat itself, and the now-wide-awake Sharon can't resist taking advantage of it.

She cautiously scoots closer, trying her hardest not to stir him - he's a selective light sleeper - and cranes her neck trying to get a better look at him.

What was supposed to be a quick glance accidentally turns into a very long and detailed observation because wow.

Wow.

But it's okay, he's asleep.

And what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

He thinks he's so funny doesn't he.

Well if this is the tactic he's resorting to, he'll quickly learn that he's going to be met with disappointment. After all she's been around the fool for over a decade; she's long since learned to tune him out.

Just think of him as nothing more than air.

But that tone of voice he's using is admittedly starting to bug her.

Persistent, aggravating air.

whats-been-lost answered to your post “Question: as an American writing a contemporary AU fic in English, how...”

Personally, since the story is in a Japanese setting to begin with, I think keeping the honorifics is a good idea. ^^

That's basically what I was thinking. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't crossing into weeaboo territory. XD

//-whispers- you're too daRN CUTE FOR ME KDSJFGLKDJG

A-Aaaahaahaaaa!  Thank you! 

Ah uhm you're really nice!  Ghghghghhh... gooooosh.

//I actually really enjoy how you play up the sweet and innocent side of Alyss. I think that's a part that's missed in a lot of portrayals of her, and it makes it really easy to interact with you too, instead of having her crazy a hundred percent of the time.

Yeah that's probably why I stretch her a little bit!  I see alyss as someone who is desperate for attention, love, friendship--she'll take anything, and I like to play up that side of her, especially when she's with people who she considers important to her.

But if she's ever threatened, even a little, she'll slip right into the crazy person side.  

Thank you so much!  I like to make her a little easier to talk to, or to befried.

For the question of good places to self teach yourself Japanese, I think TextFugu is a really great place to start. I've been working at for for a while now, and I find that it really breaks things down simply in a way that's really easy to understand. You need a membership after the first chapter, but it's not really expensive, and I find it super worth it.

Ah, I never heard of that site before! You should check that one out, too, anon! :)
