Work Text:
it started out as a normal day.
then toya said it. that word.
that damn word...
mizuki had clocked into school for the second time this month, cuz, y'know, attendance or whatever, when they spotted a certain two-toned boy in the distance. giggling to themselves, they slowly sneaked up behind toya, before jumping onto him and hugging him tight.
"mizuki attacks!!" they declared, giggling.
"ah-!?" toya let out a small squeak of surprise, before relaxing and sighing. "oh, mizu... don't scare me like that..."
mizuki snickered again, before squeezing him tighter. "don't be like that, toya~ you know you love it when i touch you!" a sense of pride bloomed in their chest as they watched his cheeks heat up. then, they added, "don't worry, i'll treat you super nice!"
"this isn't how you treat your pookie, mizu."
mizuki blinked. once, twice. then they stared at toya, the sound of static beginning to ring in their ears.
"mizu?" toya called out, before worryingly waving a hand in front of their face. "mizuki...!?"
"mizuki, are you okay?"
"was it something i said?"
"mizuki!"
needless to say, their brain was fried for the rest of the day.
he said it again.
he said that damn word again and this time he added on new words, and they were going to fucking lose it.
this time, mizuki was out in mall, slightly deflated as they couldn't find anything cute enough to purchase, when they saw toya admiring a poster.
"to~ya!" they called out, hurrying over to his side. he lifted up his head, and smiled gently at them.
like a loser, their heart stuttered at that. they leaned over and pecked his cheek. "didn't think i'd see you here! what's up, it's been so long!"
"we went out just yesterday, mizu." he shook his head playfully.
"yeah, but that was wayyyyy yesterday! and i missed ya!" they drawled, before asking, "hey, what are you looking at?"
his gaze shifted back over to the bright and colorful poster, that seemed slightly sketchy. "it's from phoenix wonderland. a show that the wonder stage is going to be performing."
"ah, seriously? we should get tickets! it can be a date~" they sung out cheerfully. toya smiled, cheeks pink at the word 'date'.
"of course, pookie..." the first strike.
this time, they didn't immediately bluescreen, and like the cool, charismatic person they were, they decided to scoot around it. "um... what's the show gonna be about?"
"it's right in front of you, mizu."
"but i like it when you tell me things. your voice is just so adorable!"
toya sighed, his pink cheeks ruining the image that he was annoyed. "it looks like romeo and juliet but with a twist. emu's romeo, tsukasa is juliet, nene is a fairy godmother, and rui is... a tree. for some reason."
"rui's built like a tree, so it pans out." they joked. toya stifled a snort. "tsukasa as juliet is not something i expected, but i will gladly accept!"
"he'd slay in a dress." the second strike. "like, ate and left no crumbs kind of slay." the third strike.
"i-i can totally see it, haha..."
"for sure, fam. period."
home run!
"m-mizuki...!?" he grabbed their shoulders and started shaking them. "i'm sorry, did i do something wrong...?! come back to me here! mizukiiii!"
"hey, toya, how would you feel if i wore my hair down?"
"me personally, i'd be feral. like, i'd be even more down bad for you than usual."
"i... oh."
they started wearing their hair down more often. man, they suck.
"so? how did it go?"
"80/100. i'm sooo stoked about this!"
"see, we're baller. absolutely balling."
in all fairness, they used internet slang too, of course they have, but to hear it in real life? out of toya's mouth no less?
maybe they were finally losing it...
"i'm plenty responsible, toya!"
"be fucking for real, mizu. that's cap."
"...u-urk."
they should really be used to it by now, but toya's pretty boy appearance always seemed to put them into a false sense of security. but instead of using it to hurt them, he just always seemed to catch them off guard.
"rizzuki alphayama."
"...what did you just say to me."
"actually, nah, you're not chad enough to have alpha energy. sigmayama, then?"
they wanted to tear his hair out for this. he knew damn well what he was saying, but he always acted innocent and that he was none the wiser. (and the worst part is that they probably would've believed him anyways. not because he was good at lying or anything, but just because it was him.)

goddamnit did they really just unironically type out gurlboss. they were going to get him for this.
(which was really just them wanting to grab his dumb stupid pretty face and kiss him senseless. they were pathetic...)
with a defeated sigh, they sent a screenshot of his message to the rest of n25.

they sighed, before turning to toya. "hey toya?"
"yeah, pookie?" he tilted his head at them innocently.
"so, uhh..." they scratched their cheek sheepishly. "what's up with the sudden... lingo? it's funny as fuck, don't get me wrong, but..."
"dawg, i didn't realize i never told you the tea! my homeslice spermbank-" they choked at that. "-always runs his ass about how my fam is 'weird' and 'a disgrace' and 'not good influences', which, okay dude. recently, i decided, yo, imma bite him back."
"...and that's why you're talking like this!" they exclaimed, a quiet sigh of relief leaving them unintentionally. their boyfriend wasn't being possessed after all! it was a miracle!
"practice makes perfect..." he began, before hanging his head and giggling quietly. "i'm sorry, mizu. at first, it was just so i could practice to make my dad mad, but then the way you'd bluescreen was just too funny for me to pass up on!"
"wh... you were making fun of me!?" they spluttered.
"not really!" he defended. "i just... well, actually..."
"bombastic side eye, toya. criminal offensive side eye."
toya stared at them, unresponsive. then, a grin overtook his face, and he trembled with laughter.
(and them, stupid lovestruck them, stared at him with the stupidest look on their face.)
"i hate you, mizu..." he shook his head, still giggling slightly.
"awe, you love me, pookie." they teased.
with a dumb smile, he sighed. "i wish i didn't."
