Happy 50k :D

When one dies, would heaven or hell have you weak on your knees, trembling beneath the tense spectacle? Maybe it's something we're bound to feel at some point in our lives.

"Goodluck." (Y/n) and Kokomi greet each other and head to their desks upon entering the classroom not an hour before the last day of their finals. For the striving students it's always a decent amount of sleep and stuffing more information into their thick skulls at an unholy hour before exams. And the finals is their last chance for this school year to get higher scores than the dubiously relaxed Jean.

No student chose the path of absence, a few late by a couple minutes and the beetle enthusiast late by twenty. But it was no biggy, Madam Lisa arrived ten minutes after Itto. The sound of her yawn when she enters is louder than the sound of her heels clicking.

"Ajax no feet on the table during test hours. Itto if you're going to cheat look less like a giraffe. I'll distribute the test papers and you all may start." She goes around the room handing the papers. Mumbles and groans come from the students that were unprepared set aside those that didn't prepare, didn't review yet find themselves confident.

(Y/n) had convinced themself that if they couldn't score higher than Jean after all the reviewing they had done then the power of slut dropping for a questionable teacher is unparalleled.

As soon as they recieved their paper they put in all their focus into taking the test. Occasionally distracted by the noises from classmates. Specifically irked by the squeak of a chair because Itto would be perpetually squirming in his seat.

"Psst (y/n)."

"Childe?!" They felt a wave of dread. To have to be bothered by the rich boy that genuinely doesn't give a damn about others was a living misfortune.

"Psst, grab my pen for me will you? It fell to the floor and rolled to your place."

They glanced to the ground, sparing Childe a quick glower before picking it up and reaching their arm out to return his absurd Gucci branded pen.

"He could've asked a bit nicer." They carried on with the exam.

For the rest of the exam hour, until the end of the day Childe and no other living thing in the room had come up to bother them and they finished the tests struggling only by a little. Since they finished their exams earlier than Kokomi they just loitered around the campus for a while, eventually bumping into Albedo.

He sits on the payment by splendid dandelions, a heavy glare from the sunlight. It would be a precious sight to paint if it didn't burn their eyes to take a good look.

"Albedo hiiii! Done with your exams?"

"Hello (y/n). I finished quite early so I've been taking a walk around the buildings within the campus to gather inspiration."

"And now you're sunbathing with the dandelions. You know I heard artists grab a lot of their inspiration from pain and trauma, do you find sunburns enlightening then?"

"Alright I'll move somewhere with shade." He gets up. A slight grin appearing on his face.

"I wasn't forcing you or anything. You could secretly be a plant doing your photosynthesis for all I care."

"Photosynthesis. That actually gave me an idea."

"You're welcome." They pause, thinking of something else to say to keep the conversation going. "We're having a small party at the Kamisato residence later to celebrate the finals ending. Do you want to join?"

"I guess so."

"Great! If a certain drunkard makes things uncomfortable for you just let me know."

"A drunkard?"

"Yeah don't pay him much mind."

"Who?"

"(Y/n)!! Albedooo!! I survived!" Kokomi runs towards them panting. "There was a whole topic that I forgot to review so I had a really hard time but I managed to answer most of the questions. And for the others I just went with the my trusty intuition."

"That's good I guess?" (Y/n) congratulated their friend. "Now we're just waiting for Ayato."

The three talk about how their exams went until Ayato arrives, looking a bit tired and sleepy, and they leave the campus to head to his house where Ayaka was secretly sorting out all her baggy clothes and hoodies to wear.

"We're home!" (Y/n) and Kokomi greet in unison. To (Y/n) the Kamisato residence really did feel like an extension of their home since they go there so often. And Kokomi just liked to call every friend's house her home since she found it lonely living in an apartment.

"Welcome back everyone... Congrats on finishing your tests!" Ayaka forces a cheery smile, clapping her hands. "I baked some muffins hehe. With Thoma's help, he came over a while ago."

"Why does that make me feel like those muffins may possibly be poisoned." A little image of an evil demon Thoma poisoning the cupcakes appears in (y/n)'s head.

"I tried some myself!"

"And I've been sitting on the toilet seat for the past hour!" A voice is heard from the nearest comfort room. Venti is clutching his stomach.

"Laxatives?" Albedo speculates.

"Oh no how cruel!" Kokomi gasps. "Venti do you want me to go in there and hold your hand?!"

"Get me my wine Kokomi! It's on the counter!"

"On it!"

They all silently watch the lady rush to grab the bottle of wine and run to the comfort room, knocking on the door. Venti slowly opens it, extending his arm like a crane then taking the wine and closing the door.

"Good luck in there bestie."

"I'm pretty sure there were no laxatives, poison or anything suspicious put in these muffins..." Ayaka continues.

"It's okay Ayaka, I'll eat all these muffins. You worked hard to bake them after all."

"Aww... Kokomi."

"I'm going to take a nap." Ayato walks over to the couch and lays down.

(Y/n) was a bit dismayed to see how Ayato wasn't in the greatest mood again. They wanted to help ease his troubles but didn't know what to do.

Buy him a gift? He could easily buy himself a number of mansions if he wanted to.

Paint another bowl of cereal? Maybe something homemade or crafted? They'd have the time to do so since finals has ended.

"Something on your mind?" Albedo asks them.

"Just wondering how I'm supposed to cheer up the man who could buy whatever he wants."

"I think hugs would cheer him up. He loves hugs." Ayaka sneaks up to them, whispering. "I can't believe until now you're still shy to show him affection (y/n)."

"I'm not that shy. I'm trying! And do you want to see your brother making out with his lover in public?"

"Sounds like grounds for a scandal." Venti makes his grand entrance.  His bottom no longer suctioned to the bowl like a slave to the stomach's ingestion dilemma.

"Venti! Are you feeling better now?" Kokomi stuffs a muffin into her mouth excitedly. "Thmes arem gouwd."

"On second thought no I need to go again." He runs back to the toilet with his wine bottle held in his arms.

It was a mess of a little party. (Y/n) couldn't have imagined they'd be introducing Venti to Albedo as the drunkard who is currently having diarrhea. The blonde just stood there observing everyone.

"You can do whatever you'd like Albedo. Except for flirting with my (y/n)." Ayato couldn't nap peacefully and sits back up.

"Have I ever been flirting with your (y/n)?"

The Kamisato shrugs. "Don't play yourself a fool."

"Let's uhmm... watch a movie!" (Y/n) suggests. Exams were tiring enough, they didn't want to have to deal with those two having another passive aggressive argument.

"I want to watch Uncharted!" Kokomi requests.

"Wait for meee!" Venti yells. "I want to watch uncharted toooo!"

"That sounds nice." Albedo nods. All come to the agreement that they'll watch Uncharted. Not waiting for the suffering bard.
