Itaru Chigasaki X Reader

Trouvaille
-something lovely discovered by chance

____________________

After a long day's work, you can finally say that it's time to go back home where your sanity lies. Working a full day job at Monday to Friday, isn't always to be easy. Sure you knew your way into a computer and how to handle some other stuff they needed, but that doesn't mean that you don't get bored and sick of the repetitive tasks your work came with.

Slinging your bag onto your shoulders, you immediately got to your car and headed home. Various vehicles could be seen in the bustling streets as well as the brightly lit buildings, making it seem like it's not even night anymore. The indistinct noises were blurred by the car windows, making the faint blares of your radio being the only source of clear sounds you could hear

Finally arriving at your apartment, you slam opened your door and kicked off your shoes, as well as throw your bag on your couch. You changed into more comfy clothing and set up your pc along with your gaming set up, the snacks being the only things missing for an all-night gaming grind

You opened a cupboard filled with chips, chocolate and various foods, as well as some candies and non refrigerated drinks. You scooped them all into your arms and dunked them to a table near your desk and called it done.

Being a not-so-closeted gamer, the weekends were really the only time you could play all you want. You had various games to play, as well as social media platforms you had to handle. Having to posts regular updates on your skills and rankings, along some other achievements here and there. You were also mostly known for the guts you had to challenge certain players for their positions and titles in a lot of games you had played before

This week, you were set to kick a certain player out of their high rank as it was your time to reign. It was in a MMORPG world where you could do basically anything; join a guild, get pets, build a house, you name it, and it's there. Although this game is great with the amount of content it brings, professional gamers and veterans insisted their way into a very competitive ranking system which made the game blow up even more. The game was now known for the people in the leaderboards and the prizes you could get if you were in it. The moment you knew people were now doing this, let's just say you had to take a few more hours out of your sleeping schedule just for it

After the sacrifice of your sleep, it didn't take long for you to make it into the top ten leaderboards in all of Tokyo. You had a goal set before you had joined this frenzy in the game, and that was to make it up to rank one. It might seem like a fever dream but you were damn sure you would work your ass off for it

There was a popular player named TARUCHI who held the ranking that you had wanted. Every time you took a step forward, he will take two, or even five at a time. Your ranking in the leaderboards didn't change from the top two position just yet because of him. The top three and below ranks would change once in a few weeks or so, while yours and TARUCHI stayed the same

You always find him streaming his gameplays with no mic nor a camera during the times you would play too. It was actually infuriating that he can play all he want without being worried about his throne but your going to kick him out of it and claim your glory

Clicking the keyboard rapidly while your other hand moves the mouse, you did a final combo and defeated the enemy. You sighed stretching your arms back before taking a look of what you got from the fight. You saw the title screen change into a congratulatory message with the rank of number one be attached to your name.

You couldn't believe it, at the most random time, you finally got it! You stood up with your headphones on and jumped around in glee as the message continued. The message took a while to finish so you just opened a bag of chips and chunk them into your mouth, laughing.

"Suck that, TARUCHI" You scoffed jokingly as the message ended. You crept back up to your pc and began to type out a message with a photo of your achievement below it. You posted it in your gaming account with hashtags so people other than your fans could see it.

Within the first few minutes, your post now seems to be on trending in the gaming industry of Japan despite it being 2 am in the morning.

With a final chuckle of victory, you came back to the game to play some more and hopefully secure your victory.

__________________

"He hasn't come out at all today" Chikage came out of the room with a sigh as the other spring troupe members stood outside with worried look on their faces

"What has he been doing?" Tsuzuru asked as he peeks through the small crack of the door only to see the room completely dark with the computer being the only source of light

"I don't really know. I just woke up to his obnoxious keyboard smashing and him cursing the name, Y/U/N under his breath" Chikage said looking back to their room

"Probably about his game, I suggest we talk to Banri about this, him being the only person who actually knows about games other than Itaru" He continued, sighing once again and ushered the others into the lounge where Banri would be

___________

"Oh Y/U/N? They beat Itaru's score earlier today" Banri shrugged, opening his phone and showing the post you made, with the trending hashtag on it

"Oh that's why..." Izumi sweat dropped and chuckled nervously at the sight

"I suggest you leave him alone for now. He's probably pissed because of this and is trying to get his title back" Banri said before opening his phone and scrolling through more of your posts to know how much of a threat you actually were to his beloved gaming buddy

"We should probably do that..." Sakuya said before heading off on his own with a nervous face and is still trying to comprehend the importance of Itaru's rank.

The rest of the spring troupe along with Izumi also went on their seperate ways for the day and made a silent agreement to bring Itaru food once in a while as they did.

During that whole day, Itaru didn't leave his room once nor did he stop unless it was for food or a small break because of some hand cramp of something else. You also saw how his score is increasing by the minute and you didn't back down one bit.

It was a game of tag of war, with the rank of number one on the line. Around midnight, another popular gamer in the area saw how the rank goes to you then back to TARUCHI, to you, then back to him. He found it interesting and set up his stream to see how long your little competition will last, he even posted in his account about what's happening and his stream became popular that night along with your post earlier as well as other topics concerning the 'battle'

It didn't take long for you to notice what was happening during the fight and decided to ride the wave because why the fuck not?

You decided to post a message during one of the cutscenes to taunt and excite the spectators a little. You tagged TARUCHI in there as well with some of the hashtags put there too, to attract more attention.

Itaru smirked as he saw your post and decided to reply with the same taunting energy you had. He did it during one of his breaks and as he spins around 'menacingly' in his gamer chair, Chikage woke up

"Itaru, you're not planning shit, stop spinning around like a villain, I want to sleep because we have work tomorrow" Suddenly, a wave of realization hits Itaru as he remembers that it is now Sunday, or technically early Monday, and he has work tomorrow

"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit"

"Just finish your game and shut up" Chikage grumbled before shifting in his blankets in an attempt to go back to sleep.

Itaru went back to his computer and saw how you were basically neck and neck with him. He was a few points ahead but it can be easily defeated with a few matches. He was still grinding his ass off, and so were you, no one was stopping anytime soon and everyone knew that.

It didn't take long for the sun to rise, blinding your eyes as it did. You stood up and closed the curtains in a hurry only to realize it was now day.

Well shit

You finished the match before heading down to the shower with wobbly steps and movements. You stripped off of your clothes and took a quick shower then immediately sprinting out towards your room and opened your closet to get some formal 'business' clothes that you would normally use for work. You put it on immediately and logged your computer off and used your phone for any kind of screen interaction as you head off

Taruchi seems to have also logged off and that one guy who streamed your back and forth has made a separate counting stream with all the top ten in the leaderboards, but come on, we all know people are there for you and Taruchi.

You got to work in time with not too many difficulties, thank goodness. You straighted your shirt a little as you walked to the elevator with some other brain dead coworkers there.

You being exhausted can now be considered an understatement, those hours of screen time got to you, not to mention the unhealthy diet you put on along with it.

You hopped off the elevator once it dinged and was met with one of your good friends, Himari. She looks like she had been waiting for you for a while as she impatiently taps her foot to the ground with a worried expression, making you uneasy along with her

"Y/N-kun! You're finally here! I think I got one of the directors mad" She began telling her tale on the situation. She was talking so softly you were sure that in between her story, you blanked out and fell asleep, only to be woken up again and again until her story was done

With a sigh, she leaves saying she had more work to do and thanked you for listening. You bid your goodbyes and went ahead to your desk with a cup of coffee in hand to hopefully keep you awake for the rest of the day

The day went on with you and Itaru snoozing off at random times and dunking your heads on the keyboards infront of you. People began noticing how extremely tired you both were, and suspicions were now on you. Yes it was a Monday morning, but no one would be that tired. You and Itaru were sticking out like a sore thumb amongst the crowd of daily workers and no one dared question why? Majority of working spaces have lots of gossips going around and the company you worked in was one of them. The reason why people didn't talk about it was because you didn't notice in the first place. You were too tired for that

Before the end of the day, you had decided to stop grinding that much in one go, especially when you still had other things to do. It was going to get in the way of your work and as much as you loved the game, you might actually die if that continued. Itaru has reached the same conclusion when Chikage and him were chatting a bit during break, and with a sigh, he admitted his defeat for his own health and sanity

Alright! Time to end this once and for all!

____________________

You couldn't do it. That number one ranking spot is too tempting to give away. After working your ass off just for it, you couldn't let it go that easily

You sighed as you stared at the stream where your tally's were being showcased, and Taruchi doing the same thing. The points were stuck in place as the other try to catch up to the inhuman amount of score that you both have.

You reached for your phone and added your so called enemy. You wanted to atleast negotiate with him, or atleast try

__________________

Y/U/N
@y/u/n

Hello TARUCHI, I am the official Y/U/N that has been going for your rank these days. As much as I like the competition and the attention it brought, I simply cannot do it always. It is a taxing job of back and forth for the title, and it might not be worth it if I'm just going to die from exhaustion. Please do respond if you can.

_______________

Going for a formal message to confront the guy was the best choice as you didn't want to come off like there's an ulterior motive behind it. You looked at the message one more time before pressing send and moved onto your computer

You pulled up the game and logged in, deciding to wonder in the world within. It was a MMORPG game after all so talking to random NPC's and other people online were your current source of entertainment. You found yourself smile as you looked over a beautiful scenery the game had, along with the easy going sound track that goes along with it.

You were just chilling in the game when you got interrupted by a buzz from your phone. It seems like Taruchi has received your friend request as well as your message, that's a good sign

__________________

TARUCHI
@taruchi.

Nice to know I'm not the only one tired of this. I'm also exhausted from the game now and probably need a 36 hour sleep. Add me in the game too, you're a pretty tough opponent, I wouldn't let this opportunity pass

_________________

You smiled at the message and added him in game right away. He was also online but is currently doing nothing in his world. An idea popped into your head and you decided to join him with your main character being showcased and their most compatible weapon in hand

He opened his mic as your character circles around him making you giggle a bit. You noticed that his mic was on so you turned on yours too

"Hello?" Oookay. That hello was dry as hell that even your voice cracked

"Why hello there Y/U/N" You could tell he was smirking just from the tone of his voice but decided to go along with it as to tease him a little and create a light hearted conversation

"You gunna make fun of me right after I joined? Wow, okay douchebag" You said teasingly and he thankfully caught it as that would've been awkward

"Sorry, sorry." He chuckled before continuing "Y/U/N, you are now known as my biggest foe, what do you think about that?" He asked as he jumps around you

"Well, I think it's pretty nice to have an enemy. I can beat your ass and feel better about myself" You laughed as you circled him once again

"That is, if you can beat me" He smirked, taunting you

"A challenge, I see. Well then, let's dance gamer boy" You began equipping yourself with your weapon as he did a stance, readying himself for what's about to come

Go!

Clashing of weapons could be heard while you dodge his attacks as he comes for you. You were currently on the defensive as he tries to take you out as soon as possible. You saw a nearby tree and climbed it then fell right behind him so you could attack. He was now pressed up against it with his shield up as he protects himself from you

He dunks down and rolled over, making you trip and back on the defensive again. The fight went on for a while but whoever was winning didn't matter as you could hear the joy in his voice as he teases you by him killing you off.

The fight eventually stopped as both of you had gotten tired from the amount of keyboard smashing as well as trash talk you had to yell just to throw each other off. You just stood near him as he rearranges his stuff when you took the opportunity of killing him then and there as a joke

"Sorry not sorry, gamer boy" You were laughing loudly as you see his stuff be dropped to the ground

"That's low Y/U/N, really low" He eventually resurrected a few seconds later as you took out some of his stuff in your inventory that went there on their own

You guys talked for a while before it got late again and had to say your goodbyes for now. It was fun not going to lie, and you'd do it again....So much for getting back some much needed sleep though

__________________

You randomly joining his world has now become a routine that both of you had come to look forward to. Sleep schedules were still messed up but you atleast are getting enough sleep for you to function properly the next day

You battled the world together and became a new ship in the fandom even to those who are not familiar with the game. Since you two were known in different games as well, you both got much more attention because of it and decided to grasp the opportunity and became partners in crime

It is funny how close you two have gotten over the weeks despite your intense rivalry in the beginning. The ranks didn't matter anymore between the both of you but when someone tries to take it, they're not getting out alive

"What do you think about creating our own guild?" Taruchi asked as he stores some of his stuff in a private chest only he has access to

"You finally asked you dork" You joked and immediately went into detail of how you both will have it

"So the members should be approved by us first, right?" You asked, already making the form for the guild

"Yes and also no players lower than our world level" He said noting down some more requirements for the new guild you were making

"And... It's done!" You pressed submit and a 'New Guild Formed with Y/U/N and TARUCHI' showed up on both of your screens. The both of you smiled brightly as the sound track for the moment got timed just perfectly

You immediately worked on it with the help of your now, guild partner, and tried to make it as ready as you can. Crafting benches and tents were scattered in the main area with some other functional stuff thrown in there too

Once you two have finally made a basic guild structure, you both posted an invitation in your seperate social media accounts. Requests made it into the replies in a swift moment as you and Taruchi ponder on who to accept

"I have this coworker who's pretty good at games. I don't know if he wants to join but let's whitelist him for now" You agreed to what he said and the rest of the night was left with the both of you handpicking about fifty more members for a minimum number in a guild.

After the hand picking was done, you gave out some codes for them to enter to be able to spawn in where your guild realm was. It got boring because of all the copy pasting and sending out emails that made it feel like work, making you groan out loud as you slumped

"You good?" Taruchi called out as you send out another code for them.

"Our weekend is officially ruined, we are spending it like work" You pouted as you half joked with him about the situation

"Well it isn't too bad, it's for our own guild that we made together" He shrugged, a squeak from his chair was heard as he leaned back. You couldn't argue about it for now but you couldn't help but feel weird from the answer you got from him.

That's right, you made the guild together with the both of you as their leaders. It made your heart swell, it was actually kind of sweet no matter how unintentionally he might've said it

"Okay fine...it isn't that bad then" You grumbled with a smile as you send out another email and continued on with the task you had at hand

______________________

"Ta-ru-chaann" You dragged out as you called out to him for news

"What's up N/N" He answered, adjusting his headphones as he log in the game

"There's a set of pets they're giving out in the lobby!" You whisper yelled as your excitement couldn't be stored in much longer

"Pets? Don't they give those out to married players who are in the leaderboards?" Taruchi questioned as his character loads in

"Let's get married then" You bluntly said, not realising what you had just done

"I-"

"Wait noo! I didn't mean it like that!!" You backed up your own embarrassement as he chuckles to himself as you suffer in your own shame

"What did you mean by it then?" He teased, making your face brighten up in all sorts of red. He knew what he was doing and he's making it beneficial for himself

"Well, uhhh... You see- the y-you know? And u-uhm" You stammered as your face color gets worse by the second. He was giggling by himself as you just sat there, flushed and red faced as if the color red was now a new one. He eventually came to a stop and you hid away in your hands as you waited for him. He coughed rather obviously, calling you out and making you come back to your senses

"Well then, would you, Y/U/N, like to marry me?" He confidently said as his character enters your world "In game of course" He followed, teasing you more but with genuine intentions

His character then dropped a gem you guys tried to fight for, but you didn't think the boss would actually drop it since it was really rare. The background music for the game also became calm as the sun sets in the horizon of where your characters spawned. To be honest, if this wasn't in game, you'd be bawling your eyes out now from how romantic this is

"Are-... are you serious?" You were in disbelief as your stunned face stare at the screen

"Why not? We've been friends for a while and some events have special prizes to those who are married. And also, didn't you want the pets? It's a win-win situation" He said, making the mood slightly drop.

"And I thought you were romantic..." You clicked your tongue as you picked up the gem he had dropped for you

"But yes, let's get married Taruchi" You smiled, making Itaru subconsciously do it himself too "In game of course" You followed jokingly as the two of you laughed

_________________

Like Itaru said, it was a win-win situation when the two of you went to the lobby and officially signed your in game marriage. You got the adorable set of pets you can raise with your partner as well as other rewards and congratulatory gifts from guild members and the game.

After another long weekend of playing with your now husband, Taruchi, you eventually had to get back to the real world where your work awaits

You did your daily routine before heading off to work with a big smile on your face. You were emitting an unknown type of glow even when you were just simply walking. No one could describe what kind of glow it was, the only thing they knew was it was a positive and up lifting one

You got to work like usual and saw Himari by the printer and decided to say hello before going to your desk.

"Good morning, Himari-Chan" You smiled, making the atmosphere around you brighten up

"L/N-kun, did something happened?" Himari immediately asked, her face filled with curiousity as she faces you

"Ehh? Nothing really happened, why do you ask?" You tilted you head slightly to the side as your unknown positivity clings onto you

"Well it's really nice to see that you're happy and energetic. You always seem so tired these days though, people are saying you're dating someone." Himari hums with a nod and smile

"I'm not dating anyone at the moment Himari-Chan. Today just seems like a good day, don't you think?" You chuckled as she stares at you with a questioning look

"L/N-kun, it's a Monday morning... You hate Monday mornings" She trails off with that look still on her face

"I-is that so? Oh uh I got to go! See you at break Himari-Chan" You dashed, not wanting to get more questions as you don't even know the answers for them yourself

The whole day, you tried to tone down whatever the aura you had, because it was getting you some looks. Most of them got influenced by your cheery mood and a smile made its way to their faces. At least good things came out of the situation

When Itaru went home seperately from Chikage, he was also the same as you. Subconsciously smiling with the same type of unknown positive glow.

He entered the dorms with a small grin as the others sent him some looks. The people there smiled at him, glad that their friend had found happiness, whatever that was.

He sat down on the couch in the lounge, and was immediately got bombarded by smirks and teasing looks

"Itaroon~ what's gotten you so delighted today??" And his mood dropped, like instantly and it went straight down the drain

"None of your business" He grumbled as he opened his phone to play. He didn't want to talk about it, not right now. He liked the anonymous friendship you two had and didn't want people to get in the mix. He doesn't want to admit it, but he wants no one to get close to you as much as he does, and if possible, maybe he would even want to get even closer

"Awh, but you looked so happy! Did you meet someone?" Kazunari pushed a little bit more as he wanted to know what's up, it's not everyday that Itaru would be this happy if it's not from a game. And if it was from a game, he would be locked up in his room, so this situation was definitely suspicious

"Leave me alone" Just as Itaru said that, a private message from you got sent to him, alerting him that you just got home and was about to log in

"Ehhh~" Kazunari chuckled "Who is this, Y/U/N~?" Itaru just stood up and headed to his room to hopefully pry the nosey blonde off. As he was about to stand up, Banri came in the room, probably back from school

"Oh hey, Itaru. When do you think Y/U/N will me the code?" He says, stopping Itaru.in his tracks and Kazunari even more interested in the topic

"I'm going online, I'll tell them to send it to your account later" He said before heading off into his room

After he was gone, Kazunari with now the spring troupe who were there couldn't help but ask questions

"Wasn't Y/U/N the person who made Itaru-kun go into a long playing spree when they took his rank?" Sakuya asked as he sat down

"Hm? Yea I guess, but they've been buddy-buddy since Itaru came home from work the next day" He pulled up multiple post that showed your good friendship wth each other.

"Wait, what's that?" Citron pointed out a post that you and Itaru made a few days ago, it was when you announced your in-game marriage and decided to make a joke about it

"It seems like Itaru-san is a married man now" Tsuzuru chimed making the others giggle a bit

___________________

"I sent it already" You said as your character moves around the area, doing anything to keep yourself entertained

"Nice" He mumbled, his voice small and unfocused

"Are you okay? You seem distracted" Worry, laced in your voice as you called to him

"I'm fine, just tired I guess" You frowned but understood what he wants

"Oh okay, get some rest then. We can play tomorrow" Were the last things you said before disconnecting from the guild realm and ending the call

You closed your computer after you logged off, it just doesn't feel right when you're playing without Taruchi nowadays. It was normal for him to feel tired as you guys couldn't be stopped, however while you were talking to him, he didn't just felt tired, you couldn't point your finger on it, but something was wrong in one way or another.

You did your night routine early and headed to bed as well, taking the extra time to think about things. Things, being your conflicted feelings on the situation as well as Taruchi

"You good?" The door opened, revealing a green haired man entering the room who just got back from work. Itaru just sighed deeply, running his hands over his face as Chikage walked over

"Is it about your gaming buddy? Y/U/N I believe?" He asked, sitting down a nearby chair

"How'd you know" He sat up straight, glaring slightly at the other man across him

"It's pretty obvious" Chikage just shrugged, chuckling a little as he leaned back

"Well, since you already got it right, yes it is about Y/U/N" Itaru leaned back himself, mirroring Chikage's movements

"Do you want to talk about it?" Chikage offered, loosening his tie and tugging it off

"Hm, well I guess I'm conflicted on how to feel around them. They're a good friend, but I don't even know what they look like, nor do I know their real name" Itaru sighed, slumping in his seat the distraught evident in his voice

"Do you like them as a friend or something else?" He asked, looking over his depressed state

"I think I like them, but I'm not sure" Itaru said thinking it over and over in his mind

"The only way you'll know is if you actually confronted this Y/U/N. You guys are good friends, they'll understand, and if they don't then, drop them, it won't be worth it" Chikage stood up and went to his side of the room, giving Itaru the space and silence he needed to think things over.

_______________

It took two days for Itaru think things over, it was a long time, but the time wasn't wasted. Maybe he liked you, maybe he doesn't, but he wanted to atleast try and talk to you about it.

By Friday, a message was sent to your account from Taruchi that said to meet at a certain game store in Tokyo that was holding a small event. It was near where you were working and it was in an otaku district filled with anime stuff. It was sudden, and it caught you off guard but you were lying to yourself if you said that you weren't excited.

After reading the message through, you replied with a yes and that you'd be going there that weekend to hopefully see him once and for all.

That night, time flew by so slowly, making you think that the universe was playing games with you. You were nervous, excited; every emotion was thrown into the mix. Thinking about it now, you couldn't help but recall some times where you felt weird around him, not in a bad way but it was still weird

You always had this fluttering feeling in your stomach. You had always ignored it though, thinking it was grumbling because of hunger, making you drown the feeling with food. The heart ache when you blushed or when he made you smile in an uncontrollable way, made you drink water because of thinking that it was you choking on something.

You've had a few partners before, but the feeling felt so unfamiliar yet welcoming. Did you felt that way by the way he always chuckled when you trash talked an enemy? Or was it by the way he would always lean back during cut scenes and you could hear his chair squeak every time? Maybe it was because he cared so deeply for you and your pet children that you got from your marriage? Or maybe you felt that way because he was, well, him

Random thoughts like these entered your mind that night and it took you awhile to finally sleep, to where you would imagine how the events would turn tomorrow, when you finally go up face to face with him.

_________________

Your steps sounded like feathers falling as you walked toward the street district of where you and Taruchi would meet. You wore clothes that were comfortable but still presentable and putting on concealer for those dark circles under your eyes. First impression is the most important thing in meeting someone, and in your situation, that someone is a person you met online with no idea of how he looks like, but you could basically call him your best friend now

You walked around holding tightly at the small bag you brought with you, looking for the exact store he mentioned. When you got there, your hand froze on the handle as you contemplated.

Am I ready to meet him?

Did I prepare enough?

Maybe I was scammed??

Too much more thinking would make you faint so you decided to stop after a deep breath; a really, really, really deep breath.

"Excuse me" A voice made you choke on that breath you just took. It sounded like Taruchi. Maybe it was him!

You turned your head and body around, facing him as you coughed out your choking.

"Uhm..." You called, getting his attention. He had light brown hair with blonde highlights, his eyes a pink-ish shade. The world seems to want to suffocate you today, because the guy in front of you definitely took your breath away

"Taruchi...?" You whispered under your breath after getting it back, making himself turn himself turn to you

"Y/U/N?" His eyebrows rose as he took a little step back. You nodded slowly, your eyes wide and open. He then chuckled to himself making you smile, knowing that the person you've met online is the same person you are currently in front of now

"My dear husband doesn't seem to recognize his spouse's voice anymore, how sad" You jokingly pouted making him chuckle again. He took a step forward, and another one and another, backing you up against a wall. He smirked, grabbing one of your hands from the side and holding it between his own

"My love, how could I forget your pleasant voice? We talk and play with each other every night, tell me N/N, how would that work?" He questioned with a husky voice, making your legs give out a bit.

"I'm glad my dear husband isn't going to forget me anytime soon" You said with a soft smile, making Taruchi squeeze your hand in comfort

"By now, it would be impossible to forget about you"

A/N

I'm back!!!! Hello guys, what's up

It's been two weeks I think? Or more, I'm not sure but I hope you guys forgive me with the updates

We're finally done with this year's school year and I'm just waiting for my 4th semester grades and card

I had this idea for a while now and I was so excited to make it into a chapter, but I think I took too long that I've lost track of the original thought.

Also, definitely not me crying over nostalgic songs. Like bro, the song itself isn't even sad but I'm crying about it.

I might do a chapter about this song with Citron because I had an idea before for him and the song fits! So songfic maybe??

My A3 won't open again and I missed Yuki's birthday as well as some blog posts :((

Anyways a Kumon fic will probably be next so stay tuned

Love y'all

MUAH
