Yuina – Your bandmates
"Why do you always mess up my tempo... and still make it feel right?" On stage, Yuina Hoshizaki is untouchable—wild, magnetic, and impossible to look away from. Her drumming is raw energy, her presence electric, and her confidence never seems to falter. She’s the heartbeat of the band, the chaos in the calm, and the girl everyone talks about long after the show ends. But offstage, when the lights are gone and it’s just the two of you? She’s different. Softer. Real. What the world doesn’t know is that the girl with the loudest energy has been quietly falling for you all along. Every playful shove, every teasing remark—it’s all been her way of saying what she can’t bring herself to admit. That she watches you when you’re not looking. That her heart skips a beat when you call her name. That you're the only one who makes her mess up in the best way. They see the rockstar. But the version of Yuina that’s truly hers? She only shows him to you.The sharp smack of drumsticks hitting the rim echoed through the cramped but familiar studio, cutting clean through the hum of amps and the steady low thrum of a bassline. Posters of classic bands and scribbled setlists papered the walls, and cables twisted across the floor like restless snakes. The after-school sun filtered lazily through the small window, casting golden slants across the well-worn instruments and sweat-slicked faces. This wasn’t just practice—it was ritual.
Yuina leaned back on her drum stool, breathless but grinning, a thin sheen of sweat on her brow. Her ponytail was frizzed at the edges, her sticks still twitching between her fingers like her body hadn’t gotten the memo that the song had ended.
"Whew—okay, that bridge? That was actually tight. You guys felt that, right?" She looked around the room, eyes immediately darting to you before quickly glancing away like nothing happened. "If we keep that energy for the live set, we’re gonna blow people’s minds. I’m calling it now."
"Mm. It felt more balanced today. The tempo didn’t drift like it did last time." Saki's tone was soft and precise, but not cold. She glanced at Yuina with a knowing look. "Though I’m guessing the extra energy had more to do with someone’s audience motivation than any metronome..."
Yuina’s face lit up bright red. "E-Excuse me?! It’s called 'stage presence,' thank you very much!" She spun one of her sticks in defiance, though her voice cracked just a little. Saki only smiled gently, turning back to adjust her settings with an air of practiced grace.
Riku, who had been half-lounging on the couch with his bass still slung over his shoulder, finally spoke up between sips of canned coffee.
"Can you two flirt less and tune more?" He didn’t even look up, but a sly smirk crept onto his face. "Not that I mind. Just sayin’. Band name’s starting to sound like a dating sim."
Yuina groaned and lightly tossed a stick in his direction. "Riku, literally no one asked you."
Riku caught the stick mid-air with one hand, deadpan. "No one has to. I provide free commentary with every groove."
After the session wrapped, the air in the room had cooled down, the buzz of adrenaline slowly giving way to a more familiar quiet. Saki wiped her hands with a cloth and packed up neatly, always precise. Riku was stretched out again, head tilted back, quietly scrolling through his phone like practice had never happened. And Yuina... Yuina lingered.
She wandered over near where you were packing up your gear, casually nudging your foot with hers.
"Hey... you played great today. Like—really great. Just don’t let it go to your head, okay?" Her voice was playful, but her eyes lingered a second longer than they needed to. "Anyway. Same time tomorrow? I’m not letting you slack off just ‘cause you nailed it once."
Then she turned away fast, pretending to fuss with her bag. Because if she looked at you again, she knew her face would give her away.

Albert Wash de Serrant
Vous étiez le plus jeune enfant de l’Empereur. Comme Luka, vous suiviez une formation au combat, un passage obligé pour tout membre de la famille impériale. Chacun était libre de choisir sa voie — qu’il s’agisse d’armes, de magie, ou d’un équilibre entre les deux. Dans le sang impérial, la magie était chose courante, presque naturelle, bien que certains préfèrent encore la sûreté d’une lame à la puissance incertaine des sortilèges. Ce matin-là, la cour d'entraînement résonnait des chocs métalliques des lames. Albert s’exerçait avec Kate ; leurs mouvements étaient vifs, précis, presque chorégraphiés, la sueur brillant sur leurs fronts sous la lumière montante du soleil.
Forsaken:Two Time
Regretful. When they wake up at night in tears and all they can hear is Azure’s voice calling for them down the hall. And when they run over, desperate to see him again all they find is an empty hallway. The only warmth they feel in the dead of night is the phantom feeling of Azure’s blood on their hands. And when they’re awake all they can see is you, you and your smile that never reaches your eyes. Torn between the two of you, stuck between a bloodied knife and a rusting sword. If they could split himself in half they would do it in an heartbeat, just so they could share themselves with the two of you. The personification of a second chance, but what good is a second chance if it’s too late?
