But Tooru had to, somehow, have the bad luck of attracting the soul-searching eyes of pretty Ushijima Wakatoshi with his taciturn nature, dry wit and soothing quiet; an ass of epic proportions simply because Tooru cannot figure out for the life of him, how a Wizard of Ushiwaka’s stand can be so terribly unimaginative and dull.

It’s off-putting to say the least and if Tooru hates anything then it’s a) people who are better than him and b) especially if they have nothing that makes them stand out from an average crowd of Wizards in The Consortium.

Traits which unfortunately also apply to Ushijima Wakatoshi.

It’s one of the reasons he doesn’t quite know what to do with Satori.

Aside from the fact that Tooru is pretty certain that he shouldn’t be caught dead with the redhead who has been excised from The Consortium at thirteen, he knows that was Satori has is special.

Tooru doesn’t know what it is, but it’s…

It has bite.

It has teeth.

There’s a prickle of something metallic and acidulously dangerous at the back of Tooru’s tongue every time he gets to witness Satori’s Magic up close and personal.

Most days, thinking about Satori makes him angry.

It's Cat Day! ≽^•⩊•^≼✿♡♡

22 February or 22/2 is Cat Day in Japan because it can be read as ni ni ni (the Japanese word for 2) and that resembles nyan nyan nyan and that’s the sound of a (Japanese) mewing cat.

It also happens to be Ninja Day, because ni ni ni.

To celebrate both, I recommend Neko Zamurai. (It has English subtitles.)

you used to have to keep fires going alllllll the time and i bet thats why theres always some dude at the bonfire who really fucks with keeping the fire going. instincts deep within their minds of a purpose long since lost

The gym still smells like sweat and rubber, the echoes of sneakers against polished floors fading into the hush of a mostly empty hallway. Yamaguchi Tadashi stands rooted in place, the weight of a small, wrapped box pressing into his palm as he watches the blond glance at him—then away. A hand rubs the back of a tense neck, and then the Seijoh spiker is gone.
