UGH LEMME STOP BEFORE I WRITE A WHOLE BOOK

Gets emotionally attached to random things. He still owns a chipped cup Panda gave him three years ago. Won’t throw it out. “It’s got memories.”  :(     

Thinks stars are beautiful but bittersweet. When he looks up, he always talks to Rika.   <\3

Yuta froze mid-step,   the way someone does when they hear their full name and sense immediate emotional chaos tied to it.   Slowly,    he turned to face them.   ``…Girl talk?``   he repeated,   cautious.   His gaze drifted—half-curious,   half-expecting disaster—to where Rika might be looming nearby.   ``With…   her?``   A nervous laugh escaped him.   He rubbed the back of his neck like it might help slow the sudden spike in his blood pressure.   ``She…   listened?``   He blinked,   then whispered to himself,   ``Since when does she listen…``  Then he looked back up at Lihua,     trying to smile but visibly unnerved.    ``Right.   Cool.   Great.    Just…    let me know if she starts agreeing with you out loud.    Or making friendship bracelets.    That’s usually my cue to evacuate.``   Beat.    He gave a soft sigh.   ``Also…    thanks for not pissing her off.    She gets really protective when I’m not around.``   Another pause.
            ``…Wait.   What exactly did you tell her?``

            he  stops  in  his  laugh,  nose  scrunching  in  confusion  at  the  name.    his  lips  purse ,  hair  falling as he  turns  his  head  curiously.         `   who??    `    he  asked  in  all  honesty,   blankly  staring  at  the  sorcerer.    he  really  had  no  idea.     kenjaku?   he  was  pretty  sure  his  boss  wasn't  called  that  last  time  he  checked.        how  long  ago  did  he  check?      
                     the  beast  was  brought  out  of  his  thoughts  by  the  electrifying  tickle  of  cursed  energy,  the  hairs  his  neck  stood  up  and  he  could  practically  hear  his  stomach  rumble.     `    lil'  duuddee  ,  don't do that !   'm getting  sooo hungry -    boss'   hasn't  let  me  eat  somethin'  in  days !  I  dunno  who  this  ken-.. kenj(?) --   whatever  his  name  is,  I  just  wanna   go  back  to  boss'  !  'm  not  doin'   anythin'  wrong !     `  

Yuta stared.   Not at the guy’s face,    but at the overflowing grocery bags now slowly tipping sideways in his arms like they had a death wish.    Leeks sticking out.    Maybe a melon.    Was that…    was that a pack of Pocky on top?   He blinked slowly,   like processing a migraine.   ``…You’re Kenjaku’s bodyguard?``   he finally asked,   voice dead flat,   as if trying to convince himself this was real.   Then the guy smiled.    Even threw in a “boss would defend me” with the kind of confidence only held by people too chaotic to fear death.   Yuta’s eye twitched.   Internally?   He was spiraling.
            `If I kill him now,    the groceries will fall.    Probably bruise the apples.   But…    do I care?     He works for Kenjaku.    Isn’t that enough of a reason?     No jury would convict me.`    Externally,    he nodded once.   ``Right.    Boss would be mad.    Very scary.    Big problem.``    A pause.   He took a step closer,     leaned just slightly in—too calm.    ``But hear me out…   what if I do it really fast?``   The cursed energy flared for half a heartbeat—just enough to make the air buzz,    like static before a storm.

     ears  stood  to  attention  - full  alert -  and  his  eyes  were  wide  in  a side  glance,  as  if  he  had  been  caught  at  poor timing.      he  had  his  hands  full  with  grocery  bags  - -  a  rather  innocent  thing  to  hold.       `    hah!?   `     utter  confuse  came  with  the  exclamation,   his  nose  scrunching  as  his  mouth  fell  agape.   the  sound of  bags  thud  against  the  floor  as  a  finger  now  points  to  himself.     how  strange  --   he  had  always  been  told  he'd  be  killed  if  he  was  caught  out  by  certain  people.      `    I'm  not  killable,  right  now??    `    he  follows  up  with.   shortly  after  he  breaks  into a  grin ,   fully  relaxing  in an  instant.     `   ohh,  boss  would  totally  defend  me,  that's  right !   you're a  smart  guy,  lil' buddy.    I  was  worried  I  was  in  trouble,  haha !    `
