Hello, My friends. For March, every day, I'll write a short 500 word story about a specific ship, and for the 31st, I'll tie them all together. And I'm going to include every possible ship between the main characters, including Lulu! Now, these are a special group of stories. These are graybles, and not just a regular run of the mill 5-story grayble. This is a mega grayble! 25... no 30 graybles based on a common theme! Which I'll reveal at the end of the month. Can you figure it out? Time for our first Grayble, the ship that started it all: Tadamu! Minna no Kokoro: UNLOCK!
Tadase walked through the streets with his new girlfriend Amu. "Isn't this nice, Amu-chan?" said Tadase. The two have been dating for quite a while now. They noticed a dark alleyway. "What's that?" said Amu. "Uh... I don't think this is a good idea, Amu-chan" Tadase said. But Amu walked inside. Tadase reluctantly followed. Just then, a black haired man appeared. He seemed to be a colledge student, and he has a scar over his eyebrow. "Well, well, well. Look at this cutie we have." he said. Tadase stepped in front of him. "Get away from her!" "And what are you going to do about it? You're just a kid" the mysterious man said. He quickly threw Tadase away and walked over to Amu. "Well, well, well, how about we go over to my place and have some fun..." he said. He turned to Tadase. "And I'm going to make you watch the whole thing, helpless and unable to do anything..." he added. Just then, they heard a police car. "Oh shoot! I gotta scram!" the mystery man cried. He fled the alleyway, screaming "You'll never take me alive!". Tadase ran over to Amu. "Are you okay?" he asked. Amu nodded. Tadase thought about what the man said. He knew that if he wants to protect his Amu-chan, he was going to get stronger somehow.
A while later, he called his friend Nagihiko. "Hey, Nagihiko." he asked. "What is it?" Nagihiko said. "Can you... teach me how to fight back" "Sure. Why do you ask?" Tadase told Nagihiko about what happened at the alleyway. "You want to protect Amu at all costs." said Nagihiko, "I'll sign you up for karate lessons" So Tadase started learning karate with Nagihiko. He mostly trained using self-defense methods, but also learnt some offensive moves too. "You're doing well." Nagihiko said, "You're practically a green belt already." "Thank you" said Tadase. He remembered who he was doing this for. He smiled. "The next time someone gets in the way of my love for Amu," he vowed, "They're going to pay" Nagihiko smiled. Sure he can be childish, but he was loyal.
It was one week after Tadase started his karate lessons. He and Amu were walking along the street again. Just then, they heard a familiar voice. "Hey" They turned around and saw the black haired man again. "I believe we have some unfinished business." he said. "Don't you dare!" Tadase said. "Getting cocky again, huh?" the mysterious man said. He threw a punch at him, but suddenly, Tadase blocked it. "What the?" Tadase then kicked him. He took Amu and left. "T-Tadase-kun!" she said. "Don't worry, Amu-chan" he said, "I won't let anyone hurt you. I'll always protect you" They then shared a kiss. When they let go, Amu decided to ask. "Hey Tadase-kun." "What is it, Amu-chan?" "How come you didn't use you Character Transformation?" Tadase stopped. He smiled. Due to his training, even when Kiseki disappears, he could still protect his Amu-chan...
