I haven't drank water in a week

✨✨✨✨✨✨

Shinya came home around an hour later, covered in a purple substance. He smelt like lavender and the scent was strong when he walked in.

"Again?" Ryuko asked, pausing the movie they watched on the couch. They were watching the horror movie, "Ready or Not" because Nejire had a fat crush on Samara Weaving and the actor who played Daniel.

"Again."

"What happene-" Nejire turned to look at Shinya who was covered in a purple liquid. His hair was soaked in it, it covered his white coat, and he looked annoyed.

"Succubus." All he said was "succubus" and then he left for their bedroom, not really saying much.

"What?"

"Succubi are demons, and they have purple blood instead of the regular red. That's all. Oh and it smells really good." Ryuko said, getting up. "Shinya fights succubi a lot and the house smells like lavender for days." Ryuko laughed, throwing away a plate of ramen she held. "I love it but after a while I get sick of it." She grumbled.

"What's a succubus?" Nejire asked. Her mom didn't read a lot of mythology or fairytales that weren't Disneyified. She had no idea what they were.

"Female incubus. They're very nasty." She whispered, talking about them in disgust. "Sometimes they have kids with vampires and they're a lot weaker but are so much more problematical. I don't like either at all to be honest."

"Vampires and succubus?" Nejire asked. Ryuko shivered and had a look of pure disgust and cringe.

"Yeah, especially vampires. They're just freaky."

✨✨✨✨

Tamaki was sitting in his room, which was really just a guest room. He was petting his pet kitten, Luna. It was a really basic name but it was from Sailor Moon. Taishiro gave him Luna as a present, mainly as an emotional support animal.

He had been doing math sheets in the book that Taishiro bought him. He had decided to keep working on schoolwork just so he didn't fall behind or anything.

"Hey Tamaki! You're on the news." Tatami ran into his room, her phone in hand. "Your mom and dad got arrested?" She said, running up to his bed and jumping next to him to show him what she was watching.

The news were reporting on his disappearance for over five months. He had "run away" or been kidnapped to some sources, and to be honest, he did run away.

"They were raging alcoholics... they were neglectful and not very nice. I guess the police found out?" Tamaki said, holding Luna close to him. He was attached to her and would pet her whenever he thought of his parents. "Don't you have something to do tomorrow?" He asked.

"Yeah, we have a rehearsal tomorrow and a recital shortly after." Tatami said. "You can't go, sorry."

Tamaki raised an eyebrow. He cocked is head to the side and frowned. "Why not?"

"Ryuko's boyfriend is going, and the Todoroki's."

Tamaki had heard of the Todoroki's. The second eldest son had played on the soccer team and basketball team when Tamaki was in junior year. Right now, he was playing basketball for a school. That was most of his knowledge, other than the fact that Momo Yaoyorozu and Shoto Todoroki were dating.

"Who?"

"They're both S.U.N.S ya know. They're both in the "top five". It's really cool but weird at the same time." Tatami shrugged.

"Top Five?"

"So, dad was in the top ten for the Adonis ranking. Rosiers and whatever the white coats are called have their own top ten and all of the top numbers make up the top thirty. That makes Enji Todoroki, the number one hunter, and Shinya, our aunt's boyfriend, the number four hunter."

Tamaki held Luna close to him, making the cat purr. Her soft fur calmed him down when he began to freak out. She clearly didn't like him much though, and that was understandable. He was dead. He was cold, dead, and deadly.

"What rank was Taishiro?"

"Haha... uhm... number thirteen." Tamaki pulled on his hoodie strings so that he wasn't visible to Tatami. "I'll have dad take plenty of pictures! And I'll talk to Nejire with you!"

For some reason everyone thought he was obsessed with Nejire despite only meeting her once and having her save his life? Death? "Life".

"I-Im not obsessed with Nejire!" He squeaked out. Tatami just giggled and ran out of the room.

✨✨✨✨✨✨

(Had to get more Tamaki in here. Nejitama after all. )

"I have to get going but I'll see you tomorrow!" Nejire said, noticing the time. She had a curfew for hanging out with Ryuko. She could only stay until nine because her mom had to close up the cafe. "Tell Shinya I said hi." She said, putting her shoes on. She left them at the front like always.

"Who's driving you home?" Ryuko asked.

"It's Friday and it's not past curfew, I can walk home."

"Absolutely not. It's dark outside already. How about you call your mom, ask to spend the night, or ask her to pick you up? I'm not letting you walk home." Ryuko crossed her arms. "I'll drive you?"

"Ryuko, you're being paranoid. I need exercise anyways. I'll be fine. Speaking of which, is his jacket going to be fine? It was white and now it's covered in purple." She got off topic again.

"How the- Yes, his jacket will be fine." Ryuko snickered, wondering how she got so off track so easily. "Honestly, just stay the night, I'd be able to sleep better knowing you're just in our guest room."

Nejire loved sleepovers. She had already told her mom she'd be a bit past curfew, and now it was ten. She might as well say she got held up by something.

"Fine. Only because of our dress rehearsal tomorrow." Nejire said, reassuring Ryuko. Ryuko let out a relieved sigh and hugged Nejire. She supposed it had something to do with Aden. It would fit and made total sense in the situation.

"I just realized I forgot to show you our guest room." Ryuko hissed to herself, snapping her fingers. "Call your mom and let's go up." Ryuko grinned from ear to ear. She led Nejire through the house and Nejire began to actually realize Shinya made bank- They clearly had a lot of money just by the size of their home. Maybe she was too hyper fixated to actually pay attention before.

"Hey, mama? There was a few issues when I was trying to get home. So I have to stay with Ryuko. Can you pick me up at the dress rehearsal?"

Mochi was really tired and didn't really care. She trusted Ryuko, so whatever!

"Bye Mama." Nejire blew kisses over the phone before hanging up. Ryuko stopped in front of the guest room and let Nejire look at the room. "Woah, it's gorgeous."

The room was a light teal color with pink flowers around the walls and on a little dresser.

"I chose the color!" Ryuko seemed so proud of it. "I love this room a lot, kinda wanna replace the pink with a yellow though. So it'll be less feminine I guess?" Ryuko shrugged.

"I like the pink! Maybe a white would work. A lemon yellow would too, but then a beige might as well. But the pink compliments the room." She rambled on, not really knowing what she would like.

"I think it'd be the perfect nursery." Ryuko whispered. Shinya was sleeping next door and had been since earlier that afternoon. Guess he got the rest of the day off after that succubus incident? Wait, Nejire get back to the conversation.

Nursery?

"What?"

"Yeah, the perfect nursery colors, big enough, next to the master bedroom. Would really be perfect." She said, her eyes filled with wonder and she was clearly daydreaming.

"I didn't know you wanted kids."

"I really want kids actually! I already have a bunch of names I really wanna name my children. I don't want them now obviously, but in the future." She sighed. "Anyways, I'll let you wear some of the clothes we have for Reiko. Then I'll let you get some rest."

A few minutes later and they were saying their good nights.

✨✨✨✨✨

I'm tired af, let me have my Ryuko and Nejire friendship and canon fact of Ryuko liking kids. Yes it's a canon fact she likes kids and can take care of them (5/6 in caretaking lmao)

Yes I literally put the Tamaki moment in to make a joke, and then add more lore.
