Based off of this.

I'm still pretty crappy at coloring but I'm happy with how this turned out. They aren't holding hands but he is holding her close.

Yuu's hair is a demon to draw.

On days that it's cold, Yuu would offer his jacket to Shinoa to keep her warm and would move behind Mitsuba for warmth and place his hands over Mitsuba's hands which are inside her coat pockets.

How Civilizations End

A/N: I always imagined that Tomoe (Hakatori) and Ayato have some kind of friendship going on — they’re not too far apart in age and they’re both Tatara’s kids lol — and wondered how it plays out with Hinami in the picture.

So I wrote this on a whim after rereading chapter 124 where Hakatori comments to Takizawa on how the sense of smell destroys civilizations (Takizawa atom bombs lol :p). This is the first fic I’ve ever posted on my newly-created tumblr. I’m thinking of editing it and expanding the story though. Please feel free to comment and reblog ^^

Hope you enjoy!

Tatara once said, people with good noses are real bad news.

“The act of finding things by sniffing them out always leads to devastation. It’s what destroys civilizations. Be weary of people with a sharp sense of smell,” he said.

Tomoe didn’t quite understand what Tatara meant at the time, so she simply nodded and went about her day.

She had the day off, so she decided she was going to take her time to relax and sketch. An old ghoul who shared her interest in botany happened to procure a pot of Evelyn Roses, and was generous enough to lend her the plant to sketch.

On her way to get her art supplies, she bumped into Ayato and Fueguchi in the hallway. It occured to her that she hadn’t hung out with Ayato in quite a while.

Back in the day, it was just the two of them — her and Ayato. Though there were other children in the Aogiri Tree, children were generally charged with menial tasks, non-combat roles such as cleaning or chopping up meat. As the only child combatants of the Aogiri, being only two years apart, the two found a friendship between missions and daily survival.

And then Fueguchi Hinami showed up. Fueguchi, out of place as ever among the Aogiri recruits, was assigned under the care of Ayato. At the beginning, Ayato had complained about having to babysit Fueguchi; nowadays it seemed like they were attached at the hip, always together on working days or off days.

“Did you just come back from a mission?” Tomoe asked.

“Yeah, I’m calling it a day. On your day off, eh?” Ayato replied.

“Those flowers are so pretty, Tomoe-chan! They smell so nice, too, like a perfume my mother used to wear. Enjoy your day off,” Fueguchi said as they parted ways.

“Yeah? I can hardly smell anything right now,” Ayato continued the conversation with Fueguchi.

Tomoe watched Ayato and Fueguchi as they headed towards their neighboring rooms.

Why is it that he always reeks of blood after missions, yet she still smells like perfume?

I hope he doesn’t get into trouble.

The air was tense in the 19th ward base.

“Yamori, Bin… All those that died… Is everyone in the Aogiri just a replaceable piece to you?”

“That’s right. Stray dogs should just behave like stray dogs, Ayato.” Tatara dismissed the visibly upset young man in front of him.

The mention of her dearly beloved brothers in such a manner stung Tomoe’s heart, but she reasoned with herself, Tatara was only trying to set Ayato straight. Ayato’s demands were absurd! The last time Aogiri stormed Cochlea, countless lives were lost. A whole decoy operation had been set in motion just to weaken Cochlea’s security — an operation in which her brothers perished. How many more would have lost their lives had they decided to raid Cochlea a third time?

And just for Fueguchi?

Fueguchi heard a sound. Fueguchi picked up a scent. And Fueguchi went AWOL. Fueguchi made a choice.

And yet… even stray dogs’ lives mean something, right?

A few days after, Ayato asked Tomoe out of the blue, “Is it possible to fight for something, but at the same time keep sacrificing that same thing, over and over again, until there’s nothing left?”

“…What are you getting at, Ayato? Is this about —”

“Are you happy here, Tomoe?” he cut.

…

People with good noses really are bad news.

Ayato had been acting strange lately. He was always the type of person who was very hands on with his work; he really wasn’t big on delegating. However, these past few months he had mostly hung back on missions and let his subordinates do most of the work. Empowering subordinates is great and all, but for some reason it left an unsettling feeling in Tomoe’s stomach.

“The sooner you do it yourself, the better,”  Tomoe recalled his words during their handover period before she took over as Tatara’s direct subordinate, “After I’m gone, it’s all you.”

He also wasn’t the type of person that would miss meetings, unless he had Aogiri business to attend to. So when Tatara asked where Ayato was during the meeting, she knew something was wrong. She curtly dismissed herself and ran to the docks.

Seeing a lone figure in the distance, she tightened her clench on her quinqe and prayed her hunch was wrong.

—

Sadly, she was right.

“Ayato.”

He spun around and saw her, quinqe in hand.

“Tatara’s looking for you. He needs to go over some plans with you about logistics on Rushima.”

“Are you going to kill me?” he cut to the chase. Tomoe wasn’t stupid, there was no point in trying to make up excuses.

Tomoe ignored his words, “There will be equipment transportation for dr. Kanou from the 20th ward to Rushima. Since you’re familiar with the area, you’re the best person to oversee that job.”

“I’m sorry, Tomoe.”

“According to intel, there’s been suspicious movement around Kanou. We suspect it might be from a ghoul called The Serpent. You might want to watch out for that one.”

“I’m leaving.”

Silence.

Are you happy here, Tomoe?

…

Aogiri is all I have, Ayato.

“Come with me, Tomoe.”

She threw her sword and it flew past him, barely missing his cheek as it stabbed the tree behind him. Yet he remained on the spot, unflinching, feet planted firmly on the ground.

“Cut it out, Ayato! You’ve worked so hard for this —  we’ve all worked so hard for this. We finally have a fighting chance against the CCG and you’re backing out now? Please… stay.”

“You know I can’t do that, Tomoe.”

“Is she worth it?” Ah, that burning sensation behind her eyes. “Does she mean that much that you’d leave all of us, just like that?” Do we mean that little to you?

A silence fell upon them, neither knowing what to say. After what felt like an eternity, Ayato took a deep breath and closed his eyes, turning to walk away from her to the docks. So that’s your answer, Tomoe thought, This really is it.

After a few steps, he stopped.

“Tomoe,” back turned on her, he shifted ever so slightly, “I’ll come back for you.”

So stay alive.

A few weeks later, during a meeting, Tatara asked for a follow-up on a particular mission that involved tracking and stopping the movements of a rogue ghoul organization.

“Well,” Miza sighed, “In Ayato’s absence, the team was ill-coordinated in that mission, leading the target to be able to disperse before we caught them. We have not yet been able to track them. And honestly, ever since we lost Fueguchi, we’re hard-pressed to find as good a tracker as she was.”

Ah, so this is how civilizations end.

Thanks for reading, guys! :)

Sorry if I made any mistakes!

YuuMitsu Week Poll!

Here is part 2 of the poll for determining when the week should be and the prompts!

You don’t need to fill out the first poll to fill out this second one. :)

Please spread the word so that this week can be created. Thank you! 

[yuumitsuyuu]

Brotprompt 5 (at least I think so)

Yuu once puts his arms around both Mitsuba and Mika and calls them his favorite blondes.

All I can think of what happens next is

A: Mika has a look of disbelief and gives a small smile after seeing how happy it made Yuu

B: Mitsuba immediately punches Yuu

C: Both Mitsuba and Mika call Yuu an idiot and smile seeing him [Yuu] smile

They all seem like good options.

Except 2, I think Mika wouldn't like that very much ;;;

[yuumitsuyuu]

Headcanon 17

Yuu waits until Mitsuba falls asleep so that he can stare at the peaceful face she makes when she's asleep.

[yuumitsuyuu]

Yuumitsu and mikanoa r great

Agree. Sorta.

There is always room for improvement and imho the way the story is going, it seems that these pairings could be more likely as this gives each character the development they need.

Headcanon 9

*continuation of Yuu being the one to confess*

Mitsuba found it unbelievable seeing as how she had seen the glances between Yuu and Shinoa time and time again.

Shinoa, seeing this, and wanting nothing but happiness for these two important people to her tells Mitsuba that she'd be okay with Yuu and Mitsu as a couple.
