"get up."
touya groaned. it took him a couple of seconds, but when he finally came to he was instantly hit with a splitting headache. touya moved to bring a cooling hand to his forehead only to find that he could only feel a heavy tingling sensation in his armsâ and in his hands and in his legs. all the telltale signs of a hangoverâ at least his typical (extreme) version of one. he even had tomura on his ass, all the boxes on the âi got totally wasted last nightâ checklist were ticked off. Â
âwake up.âÂ
touya heard a small thunk from somewhere nearbyâ probably tomura kicking something âand finally decided that it was time to blink his eyes open.Â
immediately, he knew exactly where he was. touya could distinguish the coarse texture from the beat-up seven-year-old couch lying in the LOV staff room any day. the mixed smell of a dewy morning breeze and the lingering scent of touya's signature cigarette brand sent a pumping to his blood that couldnât be ignored.  he grinned and lifted himself so he was resting back on his elbows, head tilted up in tomura's direction. âhey birdie.âÂ
tomura sucked in a breath through his teeth and spun around, going right back to sit at his desk. touya watched his blue-haired roommate, observing the way tomura put his glasses on before inevitably gluing his eyes onto his computer screen. tomura looked tired to say the least; his clothes were disheveled and his hair was a messâ as if he had been up all night. âyou went looking for me?â touya's tone was cocky. he reached for the water bottle beside him, the water bottle that somehow always ended up by his side after a long night. he never asked about itâ the fear of a petty tomura deciding to take away his one princess privilege steering his decision.
but when tomura scoffed out a small, âno,â touya's grin faltered. âyou were outside.â
touya took a sip of the room-temperature water, curious eyes on tomura. âoutside?âÂ
âyeah.â tomura replied as he opened a drawer from his desk and skimmed through some documents. âwasted to shit asleep on the bench.â touya brows furrowed momentarily, attempting to skim through his drunken memories of last night. before touya could properly reconnect them, tomura spoke again. âyou didnât walk here?â tomura's red eyes met touya's blue ones, an intrigued expression shining through the lenses of his glasses.Â
âshit, i donât remember.â touya gained the courage to push past the tingling and move, swinging his legs off the couch. his boots hit the wooden floor beneath him as he gave a half-shrug.Â
âyou donât remember?â tomura repeated, sounding annoyed. âwhereâd you even go?â
touya leaned back into the mustard-stained couch, hands pressing against its backboard. âthat new bar.â his head fell back, smile pointed up to the room's ceiling. âmoonlight.â the words fluttered off his tongue, the legacy of moonlight clear in his mind.Â
âwhat the fuck!?â tomuraâs chair let out a squeaky whine at its sudden movement. he had stopped typing his laptop, attention fully on touya.  "really?!"
âyep.â touya expressed with a pop of his mouth. âand i know their secret.â he said, sounding most obviously pleased with himself. it was the one thing touya had managed to remember from last nightâ he recalled repeating it out loud to himself for that exact reason. âyoung hires.â
[ ELEVEN HOURS EARLIER ]
keigo left three hours ago and you were still trying to convince yourself that you could last the final two hours of your shift on your own.Â
the sky had grown dark, a lapis blue painting a beautiful backdrop for the lamp-lit city. the cool contrast created an orange-tinted scene inside of midnight. the constant clinking of beer glasses and clicking of heels against the bar floor had left a distant ringing in your earâ along with keigo's words about the nearby job opportunity. the rag in your hand scrubbed up against the surface of the wooden counter as you cleaned up a spill in thought. you were so deep in it that you almost didnât hear a voice of question coming from beside you.
âexcuse me. youâ yeah you!â the voice gradually grew within range. you blinked out of your daze and turned your head in the customer's direction. the voice had come from a man who looked to be in his mid-30s and held a strong glare.Â
âsorry, sir,â you muttered, tucking the rag under the counter and placing both your hands on the table, steady and attentive . âwhat would you like to drink tonight?â
âwhiskey. neat.â he gruffed, resting his arm up against the bar's pillar.
you stopped a displeased expression from planting onto your face and forced a tight smile. âright up.â you reached for a glass on the shelfâ along with the man's desired drink of choice âand began to pour. as you did, you were able to examine the customer.Â
he was leaned right up against the counter, flannel jacket resting on the hardwood counter. he was a big guy with a big hatâ the type of hat that reminded you of old western films. his bread wasnât too long or bushyâ it was just enough to frame his face in the right places, making him appear well-aged and rugged. using these observations, you put together that this man was from the countrysideâ and thatâs before you accounted for his dirty hands, his worn jeans, and his manners.Â
you placed the drink in front of the man and gave him a polite nod, hoping that would be enough to get him to go and bother someone else. but of course, it wasnât.Â
âhey.â he tipped his head a bit closer in your direction, fingers tapping along the rim of his freshly poured glass of whiskey. you gritted your teeth, mostly to mentally prepare yourselfâ another asshole encounter at work was the last thing you needed right now. the man then grinned, a large yet playful one. âthis is a pretty nice city dontcha think?â
your eyes narrowed in suspicion. this couldâve been worse, way worse.Â
âyeah, it is,â you replied matter-of-factly. youâve been living in orion for just over three years now. and though you didnât necessarily move here for the sights, you couldnât deny that the town was beautiful.
what you liked about orion was it has a sense of communityâ and security. youâve gotten used to the sound of kids calling to their friends in the streets while parents frantically chase them down. the song that slipped between your neighbors' windchimes remain a familiar melody in your mind. there was always some type of event, or function, or party. you liked it. it kept you, and everyone else, busy. distracted.Â
the bearded man chuckled. he took a sip of the drinkâ face showing no reaction to the alcoholâbefore saying, âiâm actually new around these parts.â you knew he was lying. youâve caught sight of him throwing up behind the bar twice within the three weeks. he had a reputation for those types of things.
what you hadnât expected was for him to come to you tonight. he maintained a mindful eye on you, swirling the whiskey in his glass. âthink i need someone to show me around the placeâ someone pretty like you.â he voiced. his lips curled up into a smile; one that showed he was confident that heâd win a date with you. Â
you thought carefully, picking a response that would be respectful for an employee to use. âsorry, i really canât. work has me really busy right now.â your voice tipped higher out of habit. you hoped your tone was clear enough.Â
your hopes were quick to be crushed.Â
the man winked and went on to declare, âyou wouldnât have to work with a guy like me around.â he flipped the bottom of his patterned sleeve up, leaving the material bunched up his biceps as he shamelessly flexed his muscles to you. it was clear to you now how drunk the man was. you could see it in the way his smile hung bright and his eyes sparkled like the wish from a million suns.Â
you didnât even have time to react before a separate voice got added to the equation. another man, a younger one who seemed to be in his mid-20s, walked up to your section of the bar.Â
âcan you fight with those things?â the demeanor of the dark-haired man was intimidating alone, in addition to his alternate style of clothing and his sharp facial expression, he came off as different. the lanky man hovered over the wannabe cowboy, shadowing him. âbecause these look prettyââ the younger manâs hand slipped out from his leather jacket and cupped over the older manâs flexing muscle. âfake.âÂ
âheyâ hey donât touch me you gothâ emo freak!â the countryman jolted out from under the latter's touch before he could make any lasting contact. âwhat the fuck is wrong with you!â he shot his arms up in complaint. "werido." he waved his middle finger to the man as he continued to back onto the crowded dance floor.Â
the second man remained stoic as he watched the first walk away. âfucking idoit. iâm not even close to being gothic.â he scoffed as his arms crossed over his chest. the sway in his movement told you that this customer wasn't necessarily sober either.
âanother jerk.â you muttered, the words slipping out of your mouth before you could stop them. you didnât want to complain, considering that this guy just helped get that creep away from you, but this was turning into a stereotypical âthe good guy is actually a bad guyâ plot twist, and you werenât in the mood to get kidnapped tonight.Â
a hard exhale fell from the younger manâs mouth, âwhat was that?â he sounded amused like he wasnât offended that you just insulted him, but he sounded intrigued.
you felt a wave of hot shutter through your body, cheeks flaring up specifically. your face scrunched up, shoulders raising and eyes widening as you silently cursed the way your body reacted to embarrassment. then again, some things never change. ânothing.â you said, just as quietly as you said your last sentence. your hand urgently tapped for the forgotten rag under the counter to no avail.Â
you held eye contact with the man until his crystal-lit orbs suddenly flagged down. his forehead fell to his forearm, which rested on the bar's marble counter, and his shoulders began to shake as he hickered out a string of loud laughs.Â
you were baffled.Â
âthey really hired a kid to work here?â the man giggled.
âactually, iâmââÂ
âso, this is what midnight's been doing.â his eyes were back up on you now, gaze observing as his hair folded out of its side part and in front of his face. he was quick to swipe his hair back up with his galaxy-toned hand.Â
âsorry?âÂ
the man just barely stumbled back, gripping the back of the bar chair before he could be considered a threat. he settled himself down on the chair. his body leaning against the bar's wooden structure, the same way the cowboy had done a moment ago. but this time it felt separateâ for so many reasons you couldnât narrow it down to just one.Â
he looked at you when he answered, pupils dilated. âhiring college kids.â his eyes flickered close for a moment like he was making a mental note to remember his observation.Â
you bit your bottom lip. you canât deny it because itâs true, you are a college student. but the way he said it made it seemproblematic. before you could tap into that, you felt that something was offâ you couldnât shake the feeling that someone was watching you.
you stole a glance and to your concern, a pair of eyes were focused on you from the threshold of the staff room. instinctively, your body straightened up. your focus decreased on entertaining the customer and increased on actually doing your job.Â
unsure if you were in earshot, you spoke again, calculated. âmidnight is a good place.â you said. your fingers finally found the rag under the counter and your hands got back into the routine of wiping the counter, really trying to sell the âiâm too busy working to talkâ act⊠again.Â
âyeah?â the man dabbled, like he was quickly losing interest in the conversation. but he went on, âwhat makes it so special then?â
it was such a strange question, but youâve heard stranger before. âthey have a cool looking websiteâŠ?âÂ
it was the first thing that came to mind.Â
the man laughed, but it wasnât as loud and amused as before, just convinced. he slapped a hand on the table, using it as his pillar of support as he staggered back up into a standing position. you could hear him whispering something about âtechnologyâ and âyoung hiresâ as he stumbled off.Â
just one strange interaction after another.Â
ninety laboring minutes later youâre finally on your way home. on a breezy, autumn day like this one you found yourself extra appreciative of the close distance of your apartment. you knew that your roommate, rumi, was probably awake. not because she was waiting for you, but because sheâs a biology major and youâve come to learn they never sleep.Â
still, on nights when you were the only one closing or had to run a quick errand before going home, rumi would call you to ensure your safetyâ and threaten to call the police to escort you if you didnât get home soon.Â
tonight ended up being was one of those nights.Â
you had just turned the corner right around midnightâs back alley when you heard a sound. what started as a small cough quickly turned into hacking coughs and eventually the sound of splatters of vomit hitting the ground. you, silently, peaked around the corner of the alley.Â
hunched over in the l-shaped corner behind the dumpster was your âheroâ from earlier.Â
he looked more battered down now, knees quivering underneath his weight as he pressed his head up against the rugged brick wall. your feet lead you closer. as you appporached, you could see how his dark hair adhered damply around the nape of his neck and how desperately his hands clung onto the wall.Â
âoh my god, youâre the guy from earlier.â you blurted out loud, mostly to verbally confirm it to yourself. the guy's head just lolled against the brick wall, tipping down as he threw up another liter of liquor onto the pavement. your face grimaced as you glanced away. âyouâre really drunk.â you commented, fingers anxiously fiddling at your sides.Â
âno fucking duh.â the man spat. he wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his leather jacket and then waved a flappy hand in your direction. âbeat it.â he deadpanned, scratchy voice sending a chill up your spine.Â
your mind now rushed with questions on whether you should leave him or not. you considered the factors. pro: he did save you from a potential creep. con: his attitude is intangibly rotten.
but there must be a reason behind it, right? like maybe he had a bad dayâ a lot of bar attendees do. the point was, even though you didn't know him, he did seem to have good intentions.Â
you took a step toward him, âiâm gonnaââ
âdonât.â his voice snapped into a growl, low and brisk, though you remained calm. you could see him peeking at you from under his arm, checking to see if you had left or not. searching like he had already anticipated you to be long gone.
when his gaze met yoursâ seeing you still in your work clothes, clearly very exhausted from your long trip, and still willing to help him âhe couldnât do anything else but glance away.Â
slowly, you put a hand out. you could hear murmurs of keigo's voice in your head saying that you were âbeing too nice.â you shook his words off of your mind and pushed forward. âiâll just walk you down the block.â you stepped under his propped up arm, swiftly redirecting his weight so he was leaned up against your left shoulder and had his arm wrapped around your right shoulder. you heard his breath hitch as you altered his position. he didnât protest, but rather flowed with your direction.
you took a deep breath, stabilizing yourself. ânightlife is.. brighter down there. so you can find your way home by yourself.â you took a step forward, delicately nudging his side. he took the physical indication and moved forward, taking a slow, but sure step. you let out another slow breath; most times your last-minute plans didnât work well so you you were satisfied.
a couple dozen steps later the young man spokeâ well slurred ââthought all your bougie alcohol was fake.â he tone wasnât confident like the words he had said werenât originally his. he swayed a bit, the scent of an indistinguishable amount of various alcohols spiking through your nose. âstupid trust fund kid company.â he grumbled.
you didnât blame him for the way he thought. midnight's popularity had shot up out of nowhere just a couple of weeks ago. you heard that they were doing so well in the market that other smaller businesses were shutting down because of it down. at the time you didnât think much of it. you didnât know that people were genuinely upset about it.Â
after a long hushed walk in the eerie wind, you stepped upon the brightly lit street of the plaza. thought most the shops on this side of town consisted of sketchy dispensaries and personal businesses, it was still safer than leaving him behind the alley of a well-known bar with a high-kept reputation.Â
you led him to one of the benches facing the oversight of city buildings. the sky twinkled in each of the visible window's reflection, sparkles jumping and dancing across city rooftops. when you let go of the man's weight, he immediately melted into the bench below him. you huffed out a strangled breath, swinging back on to dust your hands off. you could hear club music threatening to spill out of a building across the street from where you stood. you placed your hands on your hips and countered your breathing, slowing it down as a smile crept onto your face.Â
the man sighed from his spot on the bench, catching your attention. âya' ever looked at the sky?â the question was half asked, like it wasnât even meant to be answered by you. you turned to him and sure enough, he was staring at the night sky, eyes hazy enough to certify him as dreaming.Â
out of curiosity, you turn to the sky. orion had the type of beauty that you couldnât describe. it was the type of city youâd see pictures of on the front of postcards, painted and perfectâ perfectly feel good.Â
you do look at the sky when you have time, which isnât often. itâs nice to wish on the stars and share sprinkled false hope with other people across the world. you always wished for one day to feel exciting the way you were promised every day should feel.Â
another comment cut you out of your tangled mind. ânext meteor shower is march thirteenth.â the man whispered into the wind. you could see it in his eyes that his message wasnât necessarily said to inform you but because he needed to say itâ  he needed to tell someone.Â
a vibrating sound coming from your pocket stopped you from being able to reply to the man's drunken speech. you pulled your phone out and read the contact name, rumi.
for her to be calling it must be super late. you stuffed your phone back into your pocket, âiâm sorry but i have to go!â you told the man frantically. his head just tilted more towards the sky, fully consumed in its beauty, already acting like you were gone. âwell, get home safe!â you gave an awkward wave to himâ well his back âas you skipped into a jog, running back home.
to your luck, the days only got more interesting.

âËàż in the near future
when window shopping at the mall with your boyfriend hanta sero takes a unexpected turn
contains: f!reader, minor drug use, established relationship, fluff
authors note: this is shorter than i wanted it to be </3
word count: 1010
hanta doesnât know how he ended up here.
it was supposed to be a casual saturday with this favorite girl in the world.
when you suggested that the two of you take a trip to the mall, mostly so you could window shop, âwhile he secretly kept a mental note of everything that caught your eye for later reference âhe had no right to say no.
and when you also suggested taking the edibles that had been sitting at the bottom of the junk drawer for two days and eating them right before the mall trip his heart melted. heâs definitely with the right girl.
okay, so maybe hanta does know how he got here.
but this.. this is new, uncharted territory for him. for the both of you.
hanta adjusted his half slouched position, careful not to possibly mess up the intricate stitching on the cushions or accidently stain the elegant rug beneath his beat up adidas sambas.
the room was fairly spacious. beside him a wide full length mirror, was two thinner mirrors protruding from its sideâ which he (correctly) assumed was used to check yourself out from multiple angles. two lights hung from the top of the mirrors, shining down onto the pedestal in front the mirror like a dedicated spotlight.
before him was a white curtain. and behind itâ
âhanta..â you called from behind the mysteriously alluring sheet, sounding unlawfully similar to a sorcerer casting a lovebound spell.
he blinked out of his over observant trance, skin glowing warm as a reaction to your voice.
fifteen minutes ago, he was sharing a beautifully buttery soft pretzel with you. ten minutes ago you pointed out a particular shop, one he had never even noticed before.
âcome on hanta! itâll be fun!â you pleaded.
and call hanta a sucker (because he is one) but he didnât even give it a secondâ or first, really âthought.
heâll blame the weed for that later.
you spend a while with the consultant at the front desk where hanta learned that youâre a concerningly good liar.
and now here he was. long fingers pulling back the curtain in which you stood behind.
âhelp me with the back?â you glanced back at him, hair tossed to one side of your neck as you held the dress up in front to prevent it from slipping down.
hanta nodded cautiously, taking a careful step toward you.
â7 years?â hanta teased, recalling your conversation with the worker as he took a stance behind you. the familiar warmth from his hands instantly radiated your skin as he kept a firm, but delicate, grip on your back. his fingertips pressed into the blades of your shoulders and you heard a soft zurrrt admitting from the zipper.
you grinned, âcall me a prophecy.â
a small laugh escaped hanta lips and your smile grew wider. you now realized how the edible made everything feel softerâ like the edges of the world had blurred just enough to allow the good moments to sink in deeper.
hanta took a step back, hand slowly departing from you. his eyes scanned down your body slowly like he didnât wanna forget anything about the way you looked right in this instant. âyouââ he paused to cough away the slight raspy in his voice, âyou should look.â he gestured back out toward the spotlight of the dressing room.
you nodded, picking up the dress from its sides and waddling out from behind the curtain onto the lit up pedestal. when your gaze finally met your own in the mirrors reflection, you stilted.
the dress was simple, strapless, and effortlessly elegantâ soft fabric flowing down in gentle waves that brushed the floor like a sea's daily meetings with its shore. lace details traced the bodice and edged the hem. the white fabric sparkled, like it was made to bask in the sunlight and flow to the rhythm of slow dances.
like it was made for you.
âwoah.â your voice was submerged in awe. you were careful, ghosting the tips of your fingers over the material of the dress, not wanting to risk messing it up.
youâve never seen yourself like this before, never really imagine it either. thereâs a feeling of wonder fluttering beneath the surface of your skin, flickers of questions tickling your consciousness along with it. it felt so good in a way you couldnât quite describe with just words.
âyeah.â hanta spoke up from close behind you. his eyes followed the trail of the wedding dress as he took a step closer, rubbing a hand over his mouth to hide the stupid grin spreading across his face. âam i supposed to be seeing this?â he joked lightly. his hands found themselves comfortably on the small dip at your hip, his head leaning beside your temple as he looked at you through the mirror.
âyouâre not supposed to see the bride before the ceremony..â you played along, hoping it would help you calm down from the fact that you felt like an literal angel.
âhm, i see why.â hantaâs grip on you tightened, just barely. his voice dropped, coated in a soft layer of truth. âyou look beautiful. so unbelievably beautiful.â he pressed a kiss to your temple, then the tip of your ear, and then took a step back. ânow you gotta spin for me.â he said, grinning ear to ear. âcome on babe.â
you rolled your eyes but complied, picking up the sides of the gown and granting your lovestruck boyfriend the full 360 view.
within a second, hantaâs hands were on you again, head buried in the crook of your neck as he held you close. you could feel the way his lips quirked up on your skin as he muttered a quiet, âinsane.â
maybe this moment, this dress, belonged to some future version of youâ to both of you.
maybe hanta didnât know exactly how he managed to get with the girl of his dreams. and he definitely didnât how heâd get to a more official version of this moment in the future.
and maybe this moment wasnât destined or now, but it was for later, and hanta knew that for sure.
