『Under the willow tree』[Hanako-kun x reader]

The Young Exorcist 1

'Ever since I was little, my brother was always so awesome

Being able to defeat Evil Spirits with a simple swing of his sword

I always ended up following him around like a duckling, even when he said it was too dangerous to go with him

But I made him a promise

a promise to be just like him

to be just as strong

that's all I wanted

. . . But now'

It was a lovely school day for Minamoto Kou, . . . It was a lovely day, that's because his two friends took him to their school's rooftop to interrogate a certain apparition. Eventually becoming the barrier between his friends, and apparition "So many questions, what are you gonna use 'em for, eh~" Tsubaki asked smugly as she held her hand up to cover her mouth "You Little Perverts~" She continued turning her head around laughing at Yashiro and Amane "W-We Are Not Perverts" they replied in unison "We're just doing a compatibility Horoscope" Amane defended himself as Yashiro nodded as they both pushed up against the poor soul in the middle "Ummm, Why are y'all squishing me . . .?" Kou finally spoke up as the three stopped their bickering

Tsubaki was the first to answer "Cuz, Amane and Yashi won't leave alone" she said crossing her arms in a pout "That's only because you won't tell me anything!" Amane defended crunching up the book in his hands "All he's asking for is Real name, Blood Type, Family Structure, and Date of Dead!" Yashiro continued listing off the needed information "Why would you even need a date of death, that's just absurd, even for a compatibility horoscope" Tsubaki cringed at the terrible magazine page being shown to her "Now, now Tsubaki-"

"Like come on, If you wanna do a compatibility horoscope so bad why don't you just do it with one of your crushes, it's not like it even works in the first place. Compatibility horoscopes are just a waste of time, they don't even give the person the chance to think critically about the person they like or even talk to them, they just blind people into thinking what they want to know." Tsubaki placed her head on her hands as she leaned on her legs. She took her job as a love ghost very seriously, never forcing two people together only for them to end up hating each other later on. Preferring to lightly nudge people in the right direction. "Just another way people let themselves be blinded by their selfish desires, bet this was little Daikon's idea too" Tsubaki continued as she stood up, mumbling the last part to herself

"What!?" Yashiro yelled out as she stood up in anger, it was true that she was the one who came up with the idea but still! How could she just talk down to her so casually "What~? Don't tell me you were going to actually do this nonsense with your crush Nene-chan, Who was it again? Minamoto-senpai right~" Tsubaki smiled as she shifted the pitch of her voice to sound more girly, her eyes looked right into the girl's soul as Yashiro's face turned red from embarrassment "Minamoto-senpai?" Kou questioned as they looked at each other then at Nene "M-Minamoto-senpai wasn't a crush, he was more like- like a Dream!!" She yelled out as she covered her now red face "Like those TV personalities or pop stars. You're just happy to be able to watch them, even if you know you can't be together. He's the student council president, he's handsome, nice, and smart" Yashiro went up to the railing as she looked out into the sky with sparkles in her eyes "Hehe, Minamoto-senpai~ . . . What a Charming Prince" She swooned out loud

"Oh, Why thank you" Amane and Kou looked behind Nene to see Minamoto, Tsubaki  covering her mouth while trying to hide her laughter. Yashiro turned around as her face turned from happy to horrified "I'm sorry. . . I didn't mean to frighten you" He apologized as he scratched his cheek sheepishly "MI-MI-MI-MI-MI-MI-MINAMOTO-SENPAI!?" Yashiro screamed out as she crashed herself into the school's wall "Ni-Chan!" Kou dashed over to stand next to his brother, only for him to get playfully smacked on the head by the older Minamoto "I've been looking for you, Kou" He said simply, but it sure was filled with care. Kou smiled up at him fondly 'W-What is going on??' Amane and Yashiro yelled out in their heads, Tsubaki flinching at them "You must be Yashiro-san, I don't believe we've met. I'm Teru Minamoto, Thank you for always being so kind to my brother" Teru said with his eyes closed "Y-yes, Sir" Yashiro replied with shiny heart eyes "And . . . You." Teru glared at Amane making him stiffen up "Don't be afraid, do what's right" He looked up at Teru confused, his words weren't just for him but for Tsubaki as well, who was behind the boy. She only smiled at him as her hat cast a shadow on her eyes
