MIRROR MIRROR


With the sleepwalking curse over, everyone will have some time to rest and recuperate—until Jack Frost comes barging in with news of a clue on how to help his beloved Ice Queen who still remains asleep. The clue was the mirror shard that was in her chest, and there are theories that it may have been a fragment of a much stronger, powerful mirror she had been given some time ago. Problem is, he can't find it nor can he remember who gave it to her. He does, however, have a magic incantation that will allow people to enter mirrors and hopefully find a trace. Unfortunately, this horrendously backfires and we have mirror chaos instead. Dammit, Jack.

More details on everything can be found here. We will request any thread submissions for certain prompts during AC .



I. REVEREIN


It all begins in Reverein, where there's a strange shift in the air upon Jack's attempt to cast the spell. But instead of affecting just one mirror, it reflects off the surface and spreads out to the entire town, hitting every reflective surface instead. Ripples can be seen before the surfaces still, but it's too late. Every reflective surface—glass, mirror, window—is under a different effect because of the botched spell.

And some are being unwittingly pulled into them.

Fortunately It is possible to communicate and even watch people from the other side of the mirror, but it's only through certain mirrors and at certain times. It also will be temporary, so while one mirror might work one time, it may not work again.

A. Strange Reflections. While some mirrors may still reflect proper images, many will have…unusual changes.
🪞 You are what you see. Whether it's an odd hairstyle, change in skin color, or style of clothing in the reflection, suddenly the viewer will look exactly like what's reflected. The most extreme is a different form entirely.
🏡 Glimpses of home. Everyone will have a rare glimpse of their home world, and these can be instances from the past, present, or even a limited future. They are just reflections and cannot be interacted with, and future reflections may be blurry to prevent the person from seeing too much. For those who have memory issues, such visions will also be blurry, but perhaps they can help stir some things…
🔮 Most desired. Mirrors that have a bit of a pink hue to them will reflect the viewer's most desired "thing." It could be an object, person, place, or even a general idea. However, if not careful the viewer may become trapped in a trance and will need to be removed or smash the mirror.


B. Clone Wars. Mirrors that do not show any kind of reflection are to be quickly taken away and covered as it will begin to create duplicates in Reverein of what is reflected within it. Yes, even people, and they will be very obviously fake: wrong colors, different voices, odd behavior, etc. and will usually be harmless. These "clones" will continue to appear and multiply until the mirror has been covered, and will need to either be destroyed or captured and shoved into the mirror, where it will lose its "no reflection" status and become a proper mirror again…only for them to appear on the other side in Mirror World.

C. Mirrorsnatched. A mirror with a black rim has the chance of absorbing a significant personality trait or memory of the one looking into it, and when this happens, the person will walk away feeling very muddle-headed and off. The mirror will "keep" this part of the person and someone from the Mirror World side must find their essence and "shove" it back out onto any mirror surface so that the original owner can break the mirror and retrieve it. The downside of this method is that breaking a mirror means one less mirror those on the Mirror side can use, so they need to choose carefully.

D. The Unknown. Appearing in both the Mirror World and Reverein will be a strange mirror masked, black cloaked figure called "The Unknown." It traverses through the mirrors and through the walls, seeking those with happy reflections and will try to corrupt them with nightmares. People on both sides of the mirrors will be able to confront and try to stop the Unknown, though beware its chocolate attacks.


II. MIRROR WORLD


Everything in this "Mirror World" is, in a word, chaotic. Imagine an AI-generated monstrosity based off of Picasso, Escher, and Dr. Seuss, where everything seems to be upside down, backwards, colors everywhere and nowhere, and everything feels so fragmented that one step feels like walking towards the edge of a cliff. In a way it's nightmarish in an unusual sense, and those inside can feel that touch of "madness" that seeps through the cold air.

Beware the strange creatures in the Mirror World. They are grotesque monstrosities, many of them looking as if they were stitched together from different parts. Fortunately they are susceptible to weapons and dreamotion and those inside the Mirror World will find they are able to use different abilities, especially those with reflective properties.

A. Fragment of their old self. In order to get out of the Mirror World, those inside will need to catch a small fragment of themselves that has escaped and is running around. This fragment is actually a piece of their old self prior to arriving in Songerein. For some, this self may not be so different, but for long-time residents, they may seem a lot more different. To make things more interesting, this self can be from any point of the character's past. It just has to be a version of the character from before entering Songerein. This version will also appear "homesick" and "want" to return to their original home, regardless if the character actually feels that way. Thus the fragment will seek out mirrors that will reflect anything of their home world. Shattering these mirrors will weaken the fragment until it can be caught. But that's only half the challenge. If the fragment is injured, the original will also feel the damage but to a lesser degree. If the fragment is destroyed, then the original will be "knocked out" for a few seconds before a new fragment appears. However, this fragment will be much more distorted and worse than the one before.

B. Distorted Memories. At random points while traversing, characters may come across strange pockets of the world that they will feel drawn to. Following said instinct will lead them to a shifted landscape that will reflect images of home from different points in time (past, present, maybe even future) as if they've just walked right into it, but just like everything else, they are distorted. The changes can be as subtle as the wrong color of clothes, having too many limbs, to something major like the sky now being the ground. The only way out will either be destroying the anomalies or correcting them, and they will be rewarded with a mirror shard that will aid in their escape.


C. Warped Sense of Self. The longer a person stays within the Mirror World, the less "coherent" they will feel, and sometimes sound. Their memories will slowly become more disjointed, their personality feeling a bit "off", and they may even forget who they are or where they are from. Even their physical selves will start to twist and change, starting with something subtle (e.g. eye color) and then growing more drastic as time goes on (where did those extra fingers come from? Or why are they suddenly much shorter?) Finding those reflections of home will help with these anomalies, but those weak of heart be warned: the distortions may only exacerbate the issue and make them believe that they are the truth instead. Help anyone who might be caught in fixing these so that they can recover.


D. Finding an exit. To leave the world, those inside must find a mirror that will connect back to Reverein, and those on the other side can also try to help by posing as "anchors" for those inside to recognize. Otherwise, there are many mirrors in the Mirror World that will lead to different places within Songerein—presumably. However, perhaps due to the magic or needing something else, they will be unable to pass through any mirrors that are not connected to Reverein. This is where players have the fun opportunity to make up whatever kind of location or place the characters may see reflected on the mirrors. They could be existing locations in the game, or new ones that could be explored in the future. One unique place we can mention will be reflections of a city covered in night.

Only upon finding a mirror that leads back to Reverein, but they will also need help from the outside. Someone from within Reverein must also be there to physically reach in and pull them out—while hopefully not accidentally be pulled in themselves.

[Hiyori's trick works like magic, impressing the blond Yato, who applauds and ooohs respectfully. If any of his brothers give them trouble, she won't have any issue dealing with it, that's for sure. Especially between the two of them. And however more Hiyoris they end up with.

Even after that little stunt, he's quick to offer wrestling!Hiyori a hand up should she need it, idly straightening out her hair as she dusts herself off. It's a little nerve-wracking to be in the presence of one so devoted to her sports hobby, but at the same time it makes him smile, seeing a path Hiyori could take if she so chose it.]


You okay? Nothing bruised? Didja want a drink of water first?

[He can't help being a little concerned for her - both of her - after seeing them tussle so hard. So enthusiastic! Passionate! He wishes he had her gumption for something beyond practical things like cooking. Although he still has plenty of love for Hiyori, as proven when the double's eyes settle on him and make him blush shyly. Still, he returns it with a smile. Hiyori is Hiyori, whatever aspect of her is most prominent.

He shifts to face the original and gives a happy nod, a little rainbow forming behind him.]


I think you're right. Thank you so much, Hiyori...
wwtd: comic (no thought head empty)

heh 🌟

[personal profile] wwtd 2024-04-15 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ wrestleyori takes the hand, cheeks a little more pink like her text and swatting at him trying to fix her hair in shy embarrassment. ]

I, I'm fine. Let's... just go home.

[ yep, still hiyori. deep down, just like all the others are still yato. after batting him away, wrestleyori squeezes blondato's hand while staring at her sneakered feet.

realyori smiles gently at the happy nod and that rainbow behind him. one down. it'll be sad, in a way, to see them all leave. they can all be assured they won't have to do it alone, though. not a single one. ]


Okay! Who's next?

[ BACK TO THE MIRROR.

it isn't long before there are just as many hiyoris as there are yato. it's very cramped in the bathroom. they'll have to do this in pairs. there's a more NYAyori with cat ears to go with her cat tail and many cat puns. there's doctor hiyori, in a white coat and stethoscope. there's traditional hiyori, in a kimono and looking very reserved. she and military yato would get along. there's idol hiyori, inspired by yato's bodily possessions she assumes. finally, there's (and perhaps the MOST EMBARRASSING) - what she can only call devout hiyori. her darkest not!secret.

she's pretty sure yato will get a GOOD KICK out of the "YATOGAMI LOVE" headband she wears. as well as the shirt she wears with his FLIRTY WINKING FACE PLASTERED ON IT. all the other hiyoris can hardly bear to look at her without going BRIGHT FUCKING RED, too.

they stand shoulder to shoulder before hiyori stands on the toilet, clapping to get everyone's attention. ]


Alright!! Now that you're all here, you know your mission. Pair up with one of the Yato outside!

[ they all give affirming responses (especially YATO LOVE hiyori, she's the loudest) and start heading into the hallway. surprise! yatos!!

job done, hiyori is the last to leave the bathroom. ]

[There's some flustered apologies murmured, but overall the mood is pleasant as Yato's double is happy to be joined by a Hiyori he can connect with, himself. He nods, eagerly taking her hand in his own and swinging them lightly. Ever the kid.]

Yeah...! Alright, then. Everything will be fine with you there.

[With his loneliness assuaged, he cuddles up next to wrestle!yori in a corner of the bathroom, talking in quiet whispers, paying her all manner of sincere compliments. He quite likes the domineering personality, naturally.]

This is gonna take a while, huh?

[Comes regular!Yato's wry observation as they start things up again. Maybe not to produce enough Hiyoris (it's like heaven in here...!) but to get them all back where they belong. There's just so many...!

But as each Hiyori arrives, Yato can't help greeting her with gratitude and gusto. Nekori with her cat ears gets special attention to those as he begs her for a feel, gently massaging the pair of fuzzy protrusions with a blissed out expression on his face. He wouldn't mind having her to snuggle with in the mornings, that's for sure.

The rest are equally paid attention to: Doctor Iki gets begged for a check-up (he doesn't need it), traditional Hiyori gets the suave treatment complete with hand kiss, idol!Hiyori is begged for a song just for him before she goes, but most of all it's the final version that captures Yato's attention, of course.

Everything from the crazy headband to her shirt have him beaming with unbridled delight as he takes her by both hands and kisses them then her cheek. T-There really is a part of Hiyori that adores him as much as he does her...! He couldn't possibly be happier, except if they were to all stay and be his harem. But that wouldn't be fair to them or himsel(ves)f.

And speaking of his selves, there's practically a riot when the herd of Hiyori emerge from the bathroom. There's surprised shouts, gleeful cheers, and at least one happy curse ringing out amid the pairing up. Thankfully due to their natures it doesn't take long before they're paired off, each one a picture of happiness at having someone special just for them.

Yato himself feels a twinge of sadness watching them, but ultimately knows they can't all remain in this world. There's just not enough room for more than one of them at a time. Turning to the original Hiyori, he slips his hand into hers with a fond smile.]


...thank you, Hiyori. You really are a compassionate person.
wwtd: blush, angry (he kissed bishamon)

[personal profile] wwtd 2024-04-17 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ wrestleyori puts blondyato into an affectionate if embarrassed headlock so he can't see how FLUSHED SHE GOT FROM HIM SAYING THAT. AND THE COMPLIMENTS. but since he likes the domineering personality (naturally), there shouldn't be a problem. right?

despite yato's comments about it taking a while, hiyori is far more organized than his gaggle of goofs. one by one, they come out. as for getting them back? yeah, okay, that might take a while.

hiyoriginal sees yato greet each version of herself. blushing madly at him begging to touch nekori's ears (which she allows and purrs at) before hiyori can't take it and separates them. asking dr. iki for a check-up is a facepalm while the doctor laughs somewhat and agrees, putting her stethoscope to yato's heart to tell him he's fit and perfectly healthy. and, anyway, wasn't actual!suave yato in the other room?! reserved hiyori puts her mouth behind her unkissed hand with an "oh my" while hiyoriginal grabs yato's neck scarf and pulls him away with a "would you STOP?"

and he doesn't. asking hiyidol for a song, she gives him a sweet lil diddy combined with a wink and a blown kiss BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IDOLS DO FOR THEIR FANS.

finally, with bated breath, she awaits his reaction to the yatobsessed hiyori. she's too ashamed to intervene on him, then. especially when the clone squeals at him kissing her and reacts by throwing her arms around him with "I LOVE YOU YATOGAMI YOU'RE MY FAVORITE GOD."

they can never talk about this again. never.

the house has BEEN chaos but it grows to astronomical levels when all the yatos and all the hiyoris are together. the only hiyori that has trouble picking ONE (1) yato is, of course, the obsessed one. she wants them all. hiyoriginal shoves her at the one yato that doesn't have a partner and calls it a day.

she's off in the corner, watching as each pair heads to the mirror when a hand finds hers. startled, she looks over at him. at the sight of his fond smile her heart thrashes. heat floods her entire face. ]


I...! I-I just. [ then she looks away, turning her attention to blondyato and wrestleyori in the very back of the line holding hands. just as they are. her head leans gently on his blond one and hiyori flusters at how easily they show affection. ]

It was something I could do to help them all. What's important is that everyone is happy.

[ after watching him dote over them all, something comes to mind. gathering her courage, hiyori turns to face yato. ] One of your clones asked me something. I want to... ask you the same thing.

Which side of me do you like the best...?

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2024-04-17 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
[After all the chaos in the living room gradually subsides as the pairs make their way back to the mirror world, Yato himself gives his original Hiyori's hand a gentle squeeze. She handled that so much better than he did, and her other selves were so obliging, proof that no matter what aspect of Hiyori is in the forefront, she'll always have care for others.

Nodding at her answer, he threads their fingers together to make the hold just that more close.]


Yeah, but you didn't have to. Neither did your other selves. It takes a special kind of person to let themselves be exposed like that just to help others.

[It couldn't have been easy on her, he knows. She's so guarded about her more personal feelings, like her love of wrestling and her affection for him. Allowing him to see all sides of herself up close and personal is about as close as they've gotten to being intimate. It's something he'll appreciate for a long, long time.

Especially when she decides to face him head-on and ask that question. For a minute he regards her quietly, humming as though in thought, before--]


Maybe it's cheating, but I think the original is best. All of your sides are great in their own way, but your yourself are more than the sum of your parts. Like a diamond, you shine more brightly when each aspect of you lights up the other parts.

[Leaning in, he dares to brush his lips against hers.]

I could never choose to have just one part of you, even your fangirl side.

[ core values and instinct tend to be stronger than all else. hiyori's impulse has always been and always will be to help people in need. to save idiots from running into traffic...

though impulse wants her to pull away from the inundation of skin contact, between every finger and every groove from weaving their hands, hiyori fights it.

because while it's a lot, it's also rather nice. besides, they're a couple now. they've been holding hands before that. what she hadn't known? is how well yato knows her. over time, the more he talks, the more her eyes widen.

r-right. her question.

and the answer is just like hers. if there were ever any doubts whatsoever in her mind (there aren't, not anymore) that being honest and upfront about her feelings was the wrong choice?

there isn't anymore. a smile steadily grows. a bloom of joy on her lips and reaching up to her eyes. ]

[In that regard they're so very much alike - wanting to help people first and foremost. Wanting others to be happy. It's not such a shock that they fell for one another when looked at in that regard.

For when he does peer at her, curiously, he can't help feeling a surge of overwhelming love for the girl who saved his life so many times. But it's more than just that. It's the way she smiles, the crinkle at the corners of her eyes when she does, making his heart beat that much stronger.

He has no right to tease her about being a fangirl when he's the biggest one for her of all.

And yet--]


My favorite Yatoite, then?

[He's absolutely doing this to torment her.

Lovingly.

They're a couple now, so it's allowed, right? He'll accept his punishment if it's not, though. A smack would be worth flustering her just a little more, seeing her cheeks a bit redder.]

[ more or less foreseen, to be frank. she SHOULD have foreseen his teasing, too!! lovingly tormenting or whatever you want to call it.

at that point, hiyori tries to storm away, but he's being dragged along because their hands are still locked together. ]


Call her a Yatoist, at least!!

[ it's cuter. also, that's not a "no"

[That gets him laughing, not in harsh barks, but light chuckles as she fails to take into consideration that their hands remain locked. His shoulders shake with mirth as he stumbles after her, grinning the whole way.]

Mmm'kay. Yatoist Hiyori~

[Teasing her is such fun, but he doesn't want to push too far. So hurrying to catch up, he gets his other arm around her in a one-armed hug from behind, leaning in to rest his chin on her shoulder as he whispers in her ear.]

[ DON'T LAUGH AT HERLDKGJD

but really

behind her, the sound of his quiet chuckling is reassuring. more than embarrassing in any case. hiyori wishes for yato to achieve his dreams and become the god he wants to be. one of fortune. that, he knows. what he might not know is; hiyori also sincerely wishes for his happiness. if not more.

his arm around her middle stops her in her stomping tracks. though she doesn't throw him off, she never - not once - stops blushing. if she could get more red, his whispering in her ear would manage it.

p-precious...

rather, she raises her shoulder nearest his mouth and tilts her head in the opposite direction. ]

[He'd be laughing with her if she wasn't too flustered to have a sense of humor right now!

But that's okay, he still loves her anyway, if not more so because of it. It's so cute, so her. Not privy to her more secret feelings, he merely assumes she's having a bit of a pouting session, one that can hopefully be thwarted by showering affection upon her as proof that he doesn't mean his laughter maliciously.

No, it's meant with all the love he can muster, felt right from the depths of his heart. Even if he can do little to stop her embarrassment entirely.

So why not play into it?

Grinning, he leans in closer and blows softly, right at her ear.

Feel free to smack at will, Hiyori.]

[HE LIKELY WOULD BE IF THE TABLES WERE TURNED. Although knowing him he'd probably relish every moment of it.

Which is probably at least part of the reason his hold on her only tightens as he drags her back against him, sucking in a huge breath in order to let it out low and slow against her ear again, although the attempt is broken in places by laughter that he finally gives into.]


Sorry, sorry--!

[It's some of the warmest, most heartfelt laughs that he's ever let out around her - or anyone in probably several hundred years. With his attempts to tease having failed, he instead noses at her shoulder happily, letting out a content hum.]

Y'know the more you tell me it tickles, the worse I wanna do it, right?

[ for however long that breath lasts, hiyori squeals and laughs and wriggles wildly. with "stop, stop, stop, stop!!" thrown in amongst their laughter.

don't lie to her, he's not sorry.

she's not expecting the tender, soft act of him nuzzling into her shoulder while she collects her breath and her heart stutters. ]


... I-I should've known. [ REALLY, SHE SHOULD HAVE. ] You can't help yourself. You have no restraint.

[ she's smiling as she glances at her shoulder, at yato nosing her clothes and humming with this dopey grin on his face. she gives into the whim to reach up and touch the back of his head. fingers petting there lightly to show she's not mad or upset or... anything.

anything but happy. ]

And okay, maybe he's half sorry. Almost.]


I don't... When something tempts me, I like to pounce at the opportunity.

[Not unlike a cat, really. But at least he's being honest?

And how could he not be with her tender caresses reassuring him that his playing around isn't entirely unwelcome? Eventually he relaxes his grip on her, helping her turn around so they're face to face. His heart flutters in his chest a moment as he debates on something, then...]


May I kiss you, Hiyori...?

[Always one for checking in that regard at least, he waits patiently for an answer, eyes shining hopefully as he stares into hers.]

[ counting! she's counting!! she's been counting! god of fortune, yatogami!!

yato's impulse control being zero isn't a new concept to her, but hearing him admit it is. courage to seize what he wants is commendable, don't get her wrong.

when it's not good luck charms and spending all yukine's hard-earned money.

occasions where yato was tempted by something, and he took it, are on her mind when she's turned around. so there's a little knit in her brow until she looks up and he asks her. like he always asks (usually asks) and she realizes this is something he doesn't pounce on as quickly.

right away, she blushes. like she always does. h-hasn't he kissed her enough (no)? did clone memories really not go back to him? suppose they don't. he's not wearing orange and he's not a ninja. ]

[Turn those blessings in for a reward (kiss) when they reach a dozen!!

It's something he's slowly begun to realize here, after such things as eating (numerous) things he shouldn't, going overboard on the gifts, and watching himself go to town with Hiyori(s).

That doesn't mean he'll have much luck in changing said behavior, but! Realization is the first step to improvement.

That little knit in her brow doesn't go unnoticed by him, leading him to softly bite at his bottom lip nervously. In hindsight, she probably has been kissed more than enough for one day. But he never got his...!

All the same, his face colors as well as he nervously switches from foot to foot and glances at the floor between them. This is definitely one of the few areas where his confidence goes right out the window and right now is now exception. He takes one hand back from her in order to scratch at the back of his head with the slightest of sighs.]


I-It's fine if you don't want to...! You're probably sick of it by now anyway, huh...

[ if he can change his nature, he can change his behavior. hiyori believes.

about as instant as her blush, she catches him and grips tight before he pulls away too far. before he can get lost in his head and his doubts.

(he got his kiss, just not in the way he REALLY wanted -- more than the lightest of lip brushes) ]


I'm not sick of it! [ LKJDLKGJSLKDG MAKING THAT CLEAR, FIRST ] I'm... still getting used to...

[ NEWER things. it's been a month. she's better but she's also been keeping things polite. taking things slow. with each word, hiyori's gaze lowers down farther and farther to the floor until she's staring at her feet. ]

H... how much my heart races... when you do. I was mentally preparing myself.

[Given how long it took for him to start taking steps to change that aspect of himself, it'll probably be a while before he manages to adjust his behavior too much. No miracles here, unfortunately.

Though it's something of one that there's no further misunderstandings as Hiyori latches onto him, slowing him to a halt before he can do more than get half turned away.

(Damn right he wanted it another way! He wanted a full-on smack on the lips like his sneaky doubles! Damn them! Grrr...)]


Y..You're not? [He seems a bit surprised to hear that, eyes widening at her words as the tension drains from his shoulders.] ...?

[Curiously, he tilts his head to one side, waiting her to finish her thought. Maybe it's just that he enjoys their kisses so much, or perhaps it's his years of living, but he's become almost accustomed to the feel of their mouths pressing together.

Nice and warm. Soft. Very enjoyable. A++ Would recommend.]


O-Oh. Okay. W..Well, whenever you're ready, if you want to...

[He gradually leans in, eyes closing to hopefully make it easier on her. He'd much rather watch the way her eyes flutter shut and the red encompass her entire face, but her comfort comes first.]
wwtd: (meet again)

THEY ARENT GUILTY HERE DLKGSK

[ SHE BELIEVES IN HIM!!!!

and she's not sick of them at all. look, he's not the only one that enjoys them. it takes all her willpower to pull away when she gets out of breath because mortals need this thing called air.

SHE DOES take 10 more minutes before she's ready -- that's a joke. yato leans in and her heart starts pounding in her chest. closing his eyes helps but barely so he might as well watch her blush and her eyelids flutter.

she can't take her eyes off his mouth, though. she wants to. she does.

at last, hiyori also leans in and her hold on him loosens around his clothes. resting her palm lightly on his chest, she pushes a bit on her toes to fit their mouths together. with a slight head tilt that she discovered fits them together better.

see? see? she wants to. she just needs a minute, that's all. ]

GUILTY OF CUTENESS OVERLOAD

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2024-04-18 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He just needs reassurances, especially after the fiasco that he created earlier with all his damn dorky doubles. Because despite his bravado and experience in observing romance from afar, he's no more prepared for the actual thing than she is.

ASDKFJH WAY TO MAKE HIM NERVOUS, HIYORI. Thank goodness she doesn't take that long-- he'd lose his nerve about two minutes in. Though in the time it does take her to lean in, he does steal a peek by cracking one eye open, gazing at her as she approaches.

It makes him tingle all over moments before actual contact is made-- likely due to her hand pressing gently to him. She'll be able to feel the way his heartbeat grows rapid, pounding in time with an invisible beat, the throb of which (to him) seems to spread to his lips with hers pressing against them.

He matches her headtilt in the opposite direction so they don't bump noses and can make their kiss deeper. It still borders on chaste, nothing naughty or untoward coming from Yato himself. Just pure, unadulterated affection conveyed through a kiss.

He hums softly into it, hands finding her shoulders to lightly squeeze them as warmth overtakes his face and entire body.

...very nice indeed.]
wwtd: happy, blush (giggles cutely)

.... YEAH OK GUILTY AS CHARGED

[ hiyori's heart to yato's heart upon feeling such a rapid beat: mood

it's chaste. it's still inexperienced, but not as much as it used to be. as far as kisses go, it's characteristic of first romances but carrying the years of that pure, unadulterated affection yato and hiyori held for each other and expressed, first, in small shrines and sacrifices they made for each other.

they can have their first clumsy makeout with mussed hair and kiss bitten lips in some other thread. this one remains chaste and the buzz of yato's hum on her lips prickles at her, too. she grins into it and then pulls away to rub her lips with a tiny, self-conscious laugh. ]


Y-your humming tickles, too.

SENTENCED TO SWEET KISSES

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2024-04-18 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Given enough time together, they'd probably start beating in perfect harmony.

Alas, it doesn't last long enough for that, but it's still warm and welcome and wonderful. Enough to satisfy this affection-starved god for now. He doesn't try to force it to last longer than its natural end, relishing the parting as much as the meeting of their lips. Because he leaves with them feeling heated and tasting faintly of her, which has quickly become his favorite flavor in the world.

He is eager to know what it tastes like completely, but that'll have to wait. Now is a time for innocent kisses, not full-on makeout sessions.

Running his hands down her arms, he takes her hands in his and gives them a gentle squeeze. A silent 'thank you' that should need no words.]


Ah, sorry... I just can't help myself when it comes to you. You make me wanna climb on the roof and sing with joy.

[Hmm... Now that's an idea - he'll have to serenade her from the window one day. Perhaps with a bouquet of flowers to toss up to her as well. And in full costume...! Yato plz]
wwtd: happy, tail, calm (take it easy!)

O-OH NOOOOOooo~~~

[personal profile] wwtd 2024-04-18 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ "for now"

kisses don't require gratitude, unspoken or spoken, but she will return the squeeze -- their own little implicit exchange. apologizing is also totally unnecessary. she didn't say the humming was bad.

climbing on the roof and singing? she gets the sentiment behind it but yato, please. ]


D-don't do that. I mean, I'm also happy but... OH!! One of your copies made a delicious soup! Are you hungry?

[ too bad, she's already taking both his hands and guiding him to the kitchen where he can NOT EMBARRASS HER (for the most part) and eat some soup. ]
