"Oh my god! KISS ALREADY! Damn it!" It's stressful. It leaves you exhausted, angry, full of energy and adrenaline. It should be one of the Olympic sports. Yes. Shipping. When you are watching anime or any other show, you notice yourself being sucked into this madness, getting involved in fictional relationships and the pain they give you.
You have your perfect ship, but you just know they will never be canon.
Oh the pain...
"Okay. Okay! THAT'S IT! DO IT! JUST DO IT!" I screamed at my laptop. They were leaning forward. Is it going to happen? Is it really going to happen?
"Will you SHUT THE HELL UP AT ONCE!?" Subaru slammed the door open so hard it cracked. Who thought that our rooms should be this close to each other?!
"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M FANGIRLING?!" I threw my pillow at him as hard as I could, but Subaru caught it with one hand.
"Oh, so you wanna play, huh?" I gulped. I knew that look he was giving me - it was a look of a pissed off brother who's about to beat your sorry ass up. I frantically grabbed another pillow to prepare for defense, but Subaru leaped forwards and slammed the pillow onto my head.
With my eyes closed, I slammed the pillow where I thought Subaru's head was. And I hit.
"Oh you little!" I felt another hit that made me fall down on my bed. I tried to sit up, but Subaru sat down on top of me in no time.
"Eat this, you wench!" He hit me again and pressed his pillow on my face. But I was not planning to give up. Hell no! I hit Subaru with all my might and used that moment of his confusion to push him off of me. I jumped out of bed and ran to my armchair where I had my deadly weapon - hard decorative pillows.
Subaru crawled out of my bed and was creeping towards me.
"Oh, you think those will save you, huh?" He smirked.
"Come any closer and you'll see how effective they are," I snickered.
I threw one secret weapon at Subaru, but he dodged it with his pillow. Seeing how attacks of distance were not effective on him, I got ready for a close combat.
But he disappeared from my sight.
"Hey! That's not fair! No vampire abilities, you bastard!"
"There is no such rule." I heard a whisper from behind me. I had no time to turn around as I felt a pillow being slammed against my right side. Subaru didn't waste any time and rammed it against my left side, ripping his pillow apart. Feathers were flying all over my room now.
But I gave zero effs and got my revenge on Subaru's belly. My pillow also ripped to shreds, sending feathers all over the place. Even though Subaru and I looked like chickens, we grabbed another set of pillows.
We were across the room from each other. When we turned around to face each other, the atmosphere was like in a cowboy movie - we were both holding our guns, staring at each other, preparing for a fight. A lone hawk in Kanato's voice screamed in a distance, making everything even more tense. I decided to be the first one to attack. I threw my pillow at Subaru, which he dodged, then he ran towards me, already prepared to hit me.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Both Subaru and I froze on spot. We slowly turned around to the direction of the voice - it was Reiji. He was holding a pillow I threw at Subaru moments ago, his glasses were a but crooked and Reiji's hair were slightly messed up.
A vein popping out of his head showed how angry Reiji truly was.
"I'm waiting for an explanation!"
"She started it." Subaru pointed at me.
"Hey! You were the one who hit me first!"
"But you threw your pillow first!"
"Oh you little snitch!" I was about to throw my pillow at Subaru, but Reiji stepped in.
"Enough! Stop this nonsense! Subaru, aren't you the older one?!"
"But I'm older than him," I said in protest.
"No, you're not! Now look at this mess! LOOK AT IT!"
"I'll tidy it up, jee, no need to yell." I put my pillow back to its previous place and started to sweep feathers with my hands.
"Subaru, you're in it too."
"Like hell I will clean!"
"You will! Now go get a broom!" Reiji slammed my door shut.
"What's his problem?"
"I know, right. We were just having some fun." Hearing Subaru say that, I smirked.
"Oh, so you were having fun, hm?"
"S-shut up and clean." Subaru walked out of my room and came back with a broom soon after. It wasn't long before my room was featherless and clean. Only one big white pile was there.
"So, what are we going to do with these feathers?"
"I think I have an idea," I said with a smirk.
...
The very first feather appeared in an innocent place, where the victim wouldn't really notice, but would be agitated once he found it there.
"Huh? What is this." Laito walked past a window. Only by a chance he took a glimpse at himself and noticed it. Yes. One feather, it was only one white feather sticking right out of his fedora.
"How did this get here?" He took the feather out of his hat and placed it on his open palm. But it didn't stay there for long - wind blew it away.
Second victim got a bigger dose of his feathery medicine. He was really excited to dig into his cake. The first spoonful of thick white cream reached his mouth.
"Mmm itsh sho shweet and..." Kanato spit everything out.
"What the hell is this!?" He inspected his cake more closely and sure enough - he found some creamy feathers.
Boy couldn't hold in his tears.
"Not again..." He sobbed. "That's why I hate sleeping! I'm eating pillows in my sleep again! And why do they have to taste so good?!" Kanato's crying didn't seem to cease. His hand that was holding a fork was trembling.
Third victim didn't see it coming at all, because he was sleeping.
His nose twitched in irritation as he felt something on his nose. He ignored the sensation, thinking that it was a fly or something like that, but tickling came back.
Shuu woke up, but didn't open his eyes. He felt something soft and wet on his right palm. He tried to hear something, but couldn't - music got in the way. But the tickling didn't stop. Now he knew that it was an annoying enormous bug. Shuu bitch-slapped that bug in the face.
"What the hell, Shuu!" But the vampire only smirked. Right in front of him was that irritating human girl, all covered in shaving foam. She was still clenching a soft looking white feather.
"There's something white on your left chin." Shuu motioned with his finger.
"No shit, Sherlock!"
"But there is shit, Watson, all over your face." Girl angrily wiped her cheek once, gathering the excess of shaving foam into her palm.
"Prepare for a makeover, Sherlock," She grinned evilly as she pulled out two bottles of shaving foam.
Reiji was walking into the living room, when a strong smell stopped him.
"I swear to Vetis, if she's doing this again, I will... What in the world is this creature?" Reiji almost dropped his cup of tea. On the couch he found an enormous blob of white foam, covered in feathers.
"Shuu?" Reiji was confused and, dare I say, a little bit scared. "Why do you look like a melted hen?"
"Watson got me."
"Don't tell me that girl did this to you."
Reiji walked right in front of Shuu to inspect the damage made for the couch.
"SECOND WAVE ATTACK!"
"A what?" Younger vampire turned around towards the voice. A loud smack echoed through the room.
"R-Reiji? I didn't mean to hit you I..." Girl stammered. Vampire slowly took off his glasses, wiped away the mass of feathers and foam from his face and slowly turned around.
"I give you five seconds to run. One. Two." Girl immediately turned around to run for it. "Five." Reiji already had her lifted by the neck.
"Any last words? Besides gasping and gurgling?"
"S... s..."
"What was that? Are you a snake or something? Speak up!" He squeezed her neck even tighter.
"Smack...cam..." She smirked with her already bluish lips. Reiji had no time to react because Subaru was already behind him with a pillowcase filled with foam and feathers. White haired boy smacked that mess all over Reiji's head. His grip on girl's neck loosened and she was finally able to take huge gulps of air.
"Now you two look like real brothers." Subaru grabbed her hand and disappeared. Reiji was shaking, his hands were clenched so tight his knuckles turned whiter than the foam dripping from his head. He could snap at any moment now. Any moment.
"Reiji, you have something white on your chin." Shuu motioned with his finger.
Legend says that the sound of Reiji's vein popping could be heard all over Japan.
Last victim but not least just came back from his basketball practice and took a relaxing shower. He was in front of a mirror, with water still dripping down his neck and muscular chest.
He hated that sensation. He always made sure to dry his hair completely as fast as possible and that's why he was using a really powerful hair dryer.
Ayato turned it on, but it only made a clicking noise and refused to work.
"Huh? Work, damn you." He was looking into the dryer as he hit it pretty hard. It made another noise, but still refused to blow.
"What the... Work damn it!" Ayato hit it again and this time it worked. It worked so well that feathers exploded all over his head. White devils got even into his mouth and nostrils.
" WHA..." He coughed a few times.
"What the hell is this?! Laito you bastard! Pray that I don't find you!" He didn't care that he was only wearing a towel. No. His eyes were filled with rage, blood lust, revenge and feathers.
He stormed right into Laito's room.
"Explain. NOW!"
"Wooow, who did you like this, dear brother?" Laito was clutching his belly as he laughed harder than he should have.
"Don't act innocent! YOU DID THIS! Huh... YOU EVEN HAVE A SAME FEATHER IN YOUR STUPID HAT."
"What? How did it get in here again." Now Laito frowned.
"Ayato, it wasn't me this time. Someone has been pulling these pranks with these things on all of us."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you see Reiji a few minutes ago, running around like a madman, looking like a fluffy chicken? Man, I'll never forget that," Laito said with a giggle.
"You mean someone got him? And it wasn't me?" Ayato's spirit was crushed. Anger and frustration he was feeling was replaced by sorrow and a bitter taste of being a loser at pranking.
"Ayato, I know you are sad and not in the mood for that, but I like seeing exposed girls, not my brother~"
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting about... Oh shit!" Only now our depressed vampire noticed that his towel has slipped away from his waist.
"I should cover myself because you might get depressed after seeing how great Ore-sama is in all aspects." He wrapped the towel around his waist with pride.
"Please leave my room now - you're making quite a mess with your feathers."
"These are not mine!" Ayato stormed out.
Let's get back to our second victim, shall we?
Kanato was sitting in front of a strawberry cake that was covered in whipped cream. He was debating with himself whether he should eat it or leave it. He was still afraid to find feathers inside.
"What should we do, Teddy? You're right. I should ask someone if I'm really awake this time. Let's go to the living room." Kanato put back his fork and ran out of the kitchen.
"The last time I saw Shuu he was here. Shuu? Are you here? I'd like to ask you something."
"Hurry up then. I gotta sleep to do." Kanato heard Shuu's voice coming from the couch, so vampire boy walked in front of the couch.
"Shuu, I wanted to ask if I am awake this time... S-Shuu..?" Kanato's voice quivered in terror.
"What kind of question is that? I'm awake because of you meaning you're not asleep too."
"Shuu is a pillow now..? Teddy! When will I wake up from this nightmare?!"
Unfortunately for them all, our last victim decided to show up juuust in time.
"SHUU?! WHERE ARE YOU?! I NEED ANSWERS!" Ayato barged into the living room, sending chills down his brother's back.
"Ayato! Not you too! WHY IS EVERYONE AROUND ME TURNING INTO PILLOWS?! Teddy, you'll stay with me, right? You'll remain your old self, right?" Kanato lifted up Teddy by the armpits.
"Kanato, since when Teddy has a tail?"
"What do you mean... AAHHHHHH!" When Kanato turned Teddy around, there was a nice white feather sticking riiiight out of the place where sun doesn't shine. Kanato fell down on his knees sobbing.
"What's up with him?"
"Who knows," Shuu yawned.
"Oi, where's Reiji?"
"If he's not in the shower, try looking in the woods where that female noise machine is hiding."
"Ayato..." Kanato whispered. "Will I also turn into a pillow?"
"Kanato, I never thought I would ever have to say nonsense like this, but you are not going to be turned into a pillow. We are not pillows and Teddy is also not a pillow so get a hold of yourself!"
"Ayato... STOP YELLING AT ME!" In an instant Kanato's mood switched to the exact opposite.
"I don't really remember the last time we went hunting," smirked Ayato, ignoring his brother's mood swing.
"You mean..?"
"Yes, tonight you will get a new doll, Kanato."
Meanwhile in the Mukami mansion
Ruki has just finished his usual chores. He walked towards his favourite armchair where he had left his unfinished book. He gracefully sat down and opened his book. But a surprise was waiting for him there.
"Hm? How did this get here?" He stood up and carried the white feather towards his fireplace. He threw it into the flames, without knowing that life at home was going to turn terrific in no time and all because of a small white feather.
Heyo~! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE AND REVIEWS! I really appreciate them all! A few questions have been asked so I feel the need to answer them:
