    Summary

    Claudia, the siren, falls in love with a human named Madeleine.

    Claudia liked to watch her at night, resting her unsteady temporary mortal limbs on the concrete steps connecting to the Seine. She poked her head above the barrier that separated her world from the human’s, resting it upon her long scaled fingers, stained crimson from her recent kill. She could feel the sweet ichor dripping down her mouth as she watched the copper-haired woman stitch by candlelight through her window just meters away. She was mesmerized.

    She should want to kill her, but she didn’t.

    Summary

    "Suo-san, why do you treat me differently from the rest?"

    He feels more than he sees Suo shift in surprise. "...What do you mean?"

    Nirei's cheeks grow warm. There's no way for him to explain himself without sounding too vain, but there's no other way for him to say it either. It's the objective truth. "You spend extra time training with me, and then offer to walk me home every single time. You soften your voice when you speak to me. You don't lie or mess around as often as you do when it's just us. Why is that so?"

    or, nirei realises that suo gives him the Princess Treatment™ and tries to figure out why

    If I Stay:

     

    If I Stay Here With You, There Will Only Ever Be This. And This Is Nice; This Is Comfortable, This Is Okay, But It Will Never Be Enough. – Lang Leav, Self Love For Small Town Girls.

     


    OR

     

    Nirei Akihiko, has lived in the same town his entire life, he knows everything and everywhere in town. But what he also knows, is that he does not belong here, not in the way that everybody else does.

    His first year at Furin, had been something that would help him find his feet, and hopefully give him that sense of belonging that he had always wanted to have. But as his first year goes on, it seems that something or someone is looking to drive a wedge between Nirei and the life that he had made for himself with his friends.

    But as Nirei keeps being pushed away, by those he is closest to, he begins to ask the question:

     

    Why Should I Stay?

     

    Is there something here that’s worth him sticking around? Or would everyone's lives be easier without Nirei here?

    Summary

    They stare at each other, and while it feels painfully awkward and long, it's probably just a few seconds.

    It's Hayato who looks away first. He knows his face colors, but he tries to remain outwardly calm as possible, even though his hands start to tremble.

    It was just a dream. It means nothing.
