Royalty/Retainer AU Microfics -- Bufula
Straylize: A continuation of the writing exercise I’ve been doing on Twitter—small scenario snippits that fit into the size of a Twitter post.
This batch is themed around small scenes in the Kirijo Region capital of Bufula! These are all canon scenarios that will likely be expanded upon and explored further in the future. Enjoy!
Akira & Minato:
"Take this, my lord. It will warm you." Neither of them were accustomed to the frigid Bufula air, but Akira draped his coat over Minato.
"Akira--"
"It's all right, I'm not cold," a lie was spoken to assuage his king's worries.
Akira & Minato II:
"It’s Bufula hot chocolate. It has cinnamon and chili peppers in it... it'll warm you up," Minato knew that Akira was frozen to his core after giving up his coat.
"My-"
"Just drink it, you're freezing," Minato asserted, firm but gentle.
Mitsuru & Akihiko:
Mitsuru handed him the fur-lined coat, offering little more than an amused smile.
Akihiko flustered immediately, "My lady, this--"
"You never did do well with the cold, Akihiko, even after all these years."
Kotone & Shinjiro:
"You never give up," Shinji grumbled, cheeks flushed as he averted his gaze from Kotone.
"Nope! But you know... you always give in!" She smiled brightly as she got up on her tip-toes to kiss him; instantly, he was warmed.
Shinjiro & Yusuke:
Yusuke shivered; he never got used to Bufula's cold. The sudden trip meant he wasn't dressed for the weather.
It was Shinjiro who made the first move, pulling Yusuke into his jacket to warm him. "Tch..."
The next day, Yusuke had a new coat.
Ryuji & Haru:
"You sure you're ok, Haru?" Ryuji's brows drew together, concerned the frigid Bufula air would be too much for her tropical tastes.
"I think it’s invigorating... but a dutiful man like yourself could come up with a way to keep warm, right?"
Ryuji & Yusuke:
"Shinjiro bought it for me," Yusuke flourished, showing off his new coat.
"It was probably Kotone, dude," Ryuji sighed, but smiled as he leaned against the other's shoulder, "Least someone takes care of you when you're in this icebox city, though."
