Teru Minamoto - Tumblr Posts

Another terukaneaoi au because I'm slowly going insane over them.

Aoi gets bored one night and being the 'supernatural' enthusiast she is, decides to summon a demon, just for fun cause she doesn't believe she'll actually summon one. But the thing is that she does.

Teru, a very powerful demon that gets summoned every once in a blue moon for a wish gets summoned by this innocent adorable sixteen year old that doesn't look much younger than him if it wasn't the fact he wasn't human. He asks what her wish is and of course she was clueless and decided after a whole day, that Teru was interesting to her and she wished for him to stay with her (of course Teru can't deny her wish when she uses those pleading eyes no matter how hard he tries).

And the same exact night, he finds a small little angel, in its cookie sized form that was meant to disguise and protect it, Akane. The angel had been looking after Aoi (stalking) for about a year now. (He saw her and just had to stay with her; he didn't know what he was feeling but he decided to leave heaven's gates to be wherever she went).

They fight and Teru thinks he's cute in his little form and all, he decides to keep him for Aoi. So, the next morning Aoi questions why Teru is holding a small little angel that is very much alive (and very angry as well as chatty) and not a stuffed toy. Akane is automatically drawn by Aoi, going over to her, basking in her presence. Aoi decides he's adorable and to keep him, she gives him a lot of attention and even Teru complains that the small little angel gets more love than him. (Just imagine Teru pouting as he complains).

At first, for a week, Teru just hides in the closet while Aoi is at school, always happily greeting her when she gets home while Akane gets to come with her since he's tiny and normal humans can't see him.

Only for a week, until Teru wouldn't stop complaining so Akane (albeit for the first time) got so annoyed he went into his normal form, and pulled some special amulets from his robes pockets (Teru knew that special amulets can make angels and demons make you seem human but they were very rare and rarely even accessible, he doesn't understand how Akane easily had so many).

I was tempted by the gods to draw them

Akane got dragged to stargazing by Teru, and now he's stuck with his thoughts. Terukane week 2023 Day 1: Stargazing

Warning; it is a big short, but I wanted to contribute to terukane week!!

Akane had to spend his Saturday working on student council work at the Minamoto's, deal with neverending teasing, and take an ugly hoodie home. Terukane week 2023 Day 2: Sharing clothes

I really like this!! (because Tiara is in this, she's so fun to write)

I don't know why but this has been in my mind all school day:

Akane prefers pens over anything (he'll use the same pen all year and if it runs out of ink he'll use a mechanical pencil even though he literally despises them). But, Akane being Akane he'll be that type of person with, like, a whole bunch of pencils even though he doesn't use them (he just has them in case someone needs one)

Teru prefers pencils, he'll only use pencils (he doesn't have a dislike for pens or mechanical pencils, he just doesn't use them, he thinks pencils are perfect for his handwriting). I just imagine he's that type of person who, like, tucks a pencil behind his ear when he isn't using it by habit.

And Teru loses pencils easily so he always has to ask Akane for one like every single day, but Akane always delivers (with complaints of course). While, eventually, Teru will notice Akane when he loses his pen because he will be using a mechanical pencil and he'll just surprise Akane by being considerate and giving him a pen that has probably been rotting inside his bag for 4-5 years.

Okay, another terukaneaoi au (I have a million, okay?) You know those cliche teen movies where, the nice unpopular girl with the glasses and ponytail who everyone thinks is weird and ugly and then there's the popular guy who is usually dared or given a bet by his friends to get the "ugly and weird" girl a glow up or to just go out with them and some girl will handle the glow up part, right?

Well, in this AU, Aoi is the unpopular girl who everyone is mean to and calls ugly, but she is still known as a pretty nice girl as well as quiet and then Teru is the popular guy who is given a bet by his best friend (in this case is Natsuhiko) to try and go out with Aoi. Teru isn't some jerk who will go out with a girl over a bet, he knows how hurtful that can be but after some convincing (money it was, his younger brother had been begging him for some new kitchen utensils) he agreed to do it.

And that's when Akane comes in. He had just transferred to the school and Teru being Teru, of course he had a sort of a job where he had to give new students a tour of the big ass school (it's reminding me of those cliche glmm ngl). Back to the bet, Teru had tried approaching Aoi several times but she remained uninterested and kept finding ways to run away, and a few more tries they managed to have a somewhat normal conversation.

Well, during the tour they ran into Aoi, and let me tell you for Akane it was love at first sight. When Aoi had introduced herself and started talking to him, he couldn't stop fumbling over his words. They grew closer towards the end of the day since it turns out they had most of their classes together, Teru wasn't too happy since Akane was always hanging around Aoi and could never get the chance to talk to her so he just started interrupting their hang outs, (Aoi didn't mind much) which resulted in a lot of Akane and Teru's arguments.

LOOK LOOK ITS ITS THEM ITS THEM

I once again have another terukaneaoi au (I love these losers so much) it's a camp au with a bit of a twist. (not really tbh)

It's the summer of 89 and all the parents are excited to send all their children to summer camp, which Aoi and Teru happened to get sent to (Kou comes along as well but is quickly separated by Teru because of his age, the camp is massive and is divided up by grade school, middle school, and high school) Aoi and Teru both have a goal set in mind, both don't quite know each other despite going to the same highschool but both are determined to kill one of the high schoolers in there camp and choose the same target, Akane.

Teru has a messed up mind, he's sadistic and violent and he hides behind a carefully built facade of a kind and thoughtful person so he can keep others from suspecting him, he's an exorcist, he's exorcised humanoid supernaturals, and he's always wondered since a young age what it would be like to kill one of his kind, the kind he has to protect. Aoi is the same way, she parallels Teru even if they are different in ways, she's watched horror movies, never seemingly reactive to them, she used to kill small animals and scrap them in an empty book when she was a young child. Her mother seemingly worried sent her to therapy and pressured her to be normal, she needs to kill something bigger, her curiosity is simply too much to handle and she wonders if they will react the same way when killed like in the movies.

They figured camp would be the perfect place to kill someone at, and so they chose carefully, meticulously, as after day one they decided Akane was the perfect target. He seemed quite quiet and reserved and they quickly tried to become closer to him, and tried to get him to trust them, (Teru and Aoi bumped heads many times, sharing glares as they begged for Akane's attention) They quickly realized he might have not been the best target, he was suspicious and wary of them, on the border of disliking them (although he was more fond of Aoi) he was very helpful and usually a lot of people were talking to him or asking for help, he was constantly surrounded by people, going back and forth to people. He was athletic and a lot stronger than they expected (They were both sure he'd be quite tricky to kill, but both thought a challenge could be fun)

So, they both kept trying, they eventually became a known trio within the camp, Teru and Aoi started trying to attempt to murder him many times without him knowing but withdrawing because the two were becoming quite attached to him.

burn him and his damned squishmallow/ affectionately

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH6CV66VC77DDCBNDHV (IM GONNA DIE AMD PASS OUT AFTER SEEING THIS OFFICIAL ART)

I just wanted to try this au from kous pov (what’s happening to him in the middle school division, heavily inspired by the reblog I had gotten from that post, it had me thinking and I haven’t posted anything in a while).

Kou’s life in the middle school part of the summer camp was going to be miserable, the entire summer was like a never ending horror plot of a crappy scary movie. Maybe he was being a little dramatic, sue him. The summer camp was known for its many scary stories and rumors,a 13 year old by the name Mitsuba Sousuke is said to haunt the lake at night and if you are to swim there at night he will break your neck and you will drown an agonizing death down the lake, he is said to have drowned in the lake in the middle of the night unexpectedly slipping on the deck, hitting his head and breaking his neck in the summer of ‘75, another one is that a ghost Hanako-San haunts the infamous cabin 101 (nobody ever tries to get that cabin, cause all the students that either died later on or ran out screaming for there life). Hanako was said to have commited suicide in that same cabin in the 60’s. Many rumors spiraling around that.

Lucky Kou cause that’s the cabin he ended up getting, but his new ‘roommate’ was no match for him, by terms that no matter how hard Hanako tried (to which Kou found out wasn’t a girl) he couldn’t scare him. Later on, Kou learned that Hanako was actually was a very goofy and smiley ghost. Kou later on met Mitsuba (who had his same cabin when he was alive) because he and Hanako played cards along with the Mokke and gossiped and complained about all the other ghosts haunting the middle school part, which he found out that the middle school division was the only place haunted by the ghosts and supernaturals of the entire summer camp (and the lake, and the hiking trails are full of Mokke if you can see them)

Kou also found out Mitsuba wasn’t as scary as the rumors, in fact he was cocky and annoying. He found his summer camp quite enjoyable until he experienced his own horrors, seeing his brother try to kill Akane many times (for some unfathmable reason, Hanako seemed afraid of Akane but at the same time he admired him, Mitsuba’s eyes sparkled in admiration as well but when Kou questioned it he quickly denied it) the pretty lady with the large ankles that he sees walking down the path in front of the cabins at night that always flashes him a smile (he never sees her in the daylight) and finally, the weird boy who looks strikingly familiar to Hanako named Tsukasa, he’s plotting something, he keeps following him everywhere and soon enough the loud speakers throughout the summer camp every day or so keep reciting the same sentences.

Aoi x Teru

Description: One of the loving moments of Teru Minamoto and Aoi Akane’s developing relationship.

-

Thought I would write a little Aoi x Teru fluff, since there is so much…unwholesome stuff, and I had traumatized myself just looking through the tag so this is to cope with that.

It’s always just natsuteru or natsukane. What about natsuterukane?

Second chapter is out!!

THE CUTIE PATOOTIES AHHHHHHHHHHH (milestones in less than a month wish me luck guys 🙏)

My multishipper heart is happy

Another, another, and another, terkaneaoi AU. Based on those “YOU” edits I see all over my fyp, get ready for another semi-horror genre type AU.

Basically, it’s the cold winter of ‘99 and Teru for the first time, saw a glimpse of a beautiful specimen, Aoi. He was mesmerized, in love almost. So the next time he sees her in the first year of the 21st century, after obsessing over her in only the brink of his mind for a few months, he makes sure to take a picture, find out everything about her, and start his year long journey of stalking her.

Sure, it’s quite a messed up hobby he has, (a women’s intuition is no joke, he’s almost been caught plenty of times) but he enjoys it, any guy that gives her trouble, he just gets rid of. Though, it’s been a year now, there’s this guy, who he later identifies as Akane, who’s been following her, ever since before he started stalking her, though, they seem to know each other. He makes Aoi happy, clearly into her, so he didn’t get rid of him just yet.

Though, Teru has been starting to notice that there’s more to Akane than just an ordinary guy who happens to crush on Aoi, he’s starting to suspect Akane is just like him. He just didn’t know the scale of how much he was like him.

So when Akane catches him in an alley stalking Aoi, jumping on Teru’s back. He didn’t realize how much worse he was then of Teru, of how far he was willing to go for Aoi.

“Akane, what are you doing?”

Akane and Aoi meet a new friend at the playground.

Terukaneaoi Week Day 1: New World/Timline

This is my comfort fic from now on🤧

The Only Exception

𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈(𝐬): Teru Minamoto x GN!Reader (ᴛʜᴇʏ/ᴛʜᴇᴍ) 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒆: angst with a fluffy ending; third pov 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈: slight mentions of death, cheesy content, apparition! reader

The crowd of students clustered around to greet their student council president and prince charming: Teru Minamoto.

It's a well-known fact that he was attractive and responsible, making him well-liked and respected. His excellence in his classes and kind demeanor put the cherry on top of his charisma

Teru upheld the image of being any student's "dream significant other", causing plenty of declarations of love through verbal communication or fine letters Teru encounters almost every day, all turned down, parroting the same lines:

"I'm sorry, I already like someone else."

Students wondered who? Who was this individual who stole Minamoto's heart? They had to be a person of his caliber, right? This discussion received mass attention to the point where it warranted its exclusive blog where anyone could contribute.

Oh, how far off could they be?

Teru gave his charming smile and waved to students greeting him on his way to the class kitchen.

Sliding the door open, he scanned the room for any students present, catching the bought ingredients he placed on the counter this morning.

Before he could touch any of them, his hand clenched,  acknowledging the sudden drop in temperature.

Nestled in the corner, an ominous black aura accumulated at the exorcist's presence. The blotches of shadow continued to grow, solidifying into a human figure. With his back turned, this was its only chance.

With the speed of light, it charged toward him and exclaimed—

"Gotcha!"

The figure in black busted into a palette of muted colors. Their arms were thrown around his shoulders as they sported a cheeky grin.

Teru's pensive expression relaxed into a gentle smirk, marked with smugness. "Nice try." He sang with a teasing tone.

"Aw! How come you never get scared?" They pouted. The mokkes who accompanied the sulking ghost held up a whiteboard written "nice try" on it.

"I'm an exorcist, remember?" Teru chuckles. They let out an exasperated sigh.

"Well, now that you're here. Let's get baking!" They raised their hands in the air.

"Yay, baking!" "Time for some sweet treats." "Let's just hope it doesn't burn..."

The last comment made Teru softly glare and pout towards the mokke who said that. They chuckled and patted his head, easing his growing tension.

You may be asking how. How did a powerful and skilled exorcist such as himself find the heart to make peace with the supernatural?

Earlier this School Year

Teru made his way to the student council room. Exhaustion catching up to him from classes and exorcist work, so when a mischievous mokke accidentallytook the pen from his fingers.

Not having any spares, he irked and made chase. "Can this day get any worse?" He muttered in frustration.

An upcoming sharp turn came, as he skidded his shoes above the floor creating a squeaking noise. Teru's face was in a scowl as he was about to reach for the adorable rascal's ears before an impact came on his right.

He clashed together with a student but none fell to the ground. They both let out groans of pain, but Teru was the first to recover, or so he thought.

"I'm sorry!" They both shouted simultaneously, both their eyes opened wide, and lifted their head to each other.

"It's alright, I was the one running and I didn't... look where I was going..."

"No, no! I was too distracted I didn't even notice you." They blurted out waving their hands, "Why were you running down the hall? Are you in a rush?"

"No that's not it. I was just—" As he pointed his thumb to his left, he started to slightly panic.

What was he gonna say? He can't say that a supernatural creature took his pen and expects them to believe that, right? Then again students already knew about the mokkes, but better than safe and sorry, right?

"U-Uh... I was chasing my pen(?)" He tensed, 'What an excuse, Teru...' He mentally scolded.

"Yeah! It's supposed to be around..." He turned his body to the left hall and turned to find the mokke who was long gone. "It's not here..."

A melodic chuckle sounded, and he looked back at the student.

They dipped their hand in their pocket to find a pen. "Here, you can have it. I have plenty to spare." They chuckled looking at his frazzled state.

For the first time, Teru stood there and didn't know what to do, what to say, what to act, it's like his mind went blank just like that. He slowly took the pen. "Thank you..." He breathed out involuntarily.

"No problem! Anyways, do you know where the cooking club is?"

He still didn't speak. The gleaming rays of sunlight illuminated their features, various tints of color hitting their skin and eyes. When was the last time he found someone this endearing?

Shortly, they glanced at his left arm. "Oh, wait you have a student council band! Can you help me find it?"

He broke from his dazed state and cleared his throat. "Sure, follow me." Teru turned his body around and motioned his hand to come with him. Even though it was his duty to aid students, a genuine feeling manifested inside him, willingness?

They perked up and smiled brightly. "Thank you so much, uh-"

"Teru. Teru Minamoto. Nice to meet you." He answered without hesitation. The student smiles "Y/n L/n. Pleasure's all mine, Mr. President!"

Present

"TERU! I said powdered sugar, not granulated!" Lightning-blue eyes glanced below him. He was assigned to make the buttercream for their cupcake treats, but his little reminisce journey pulled him out of duty. How embarrassing.

"Sorry, I didn't pay too much attention."

"You have to have your full attention when you're cooking!" Y/n, let's take a sigh. "Anyways we'll start from scratch, this time I'll help you. Go wash your hands while I start making another batch." They point towards the sink.

He let out a chuckle and washed his butter-creamed hands.

Ever since that faithful day, Teru's made an effort to check up on them more often than normal, swinging by the Cooking Club every once in a while, absent-mindedly ignoring the other swooning students just to see them.

With his occupation as president and an exorcist, he didn't have time for relationships. But, just for a while, he allowed himself to indulge selfishly.

And look where that got him.

'They're not here.' Teru sighed, flickering his gaze to the empty seat beside him. Y/n wasn't here, and it was affecting him greater than he anticipated. Practically everyone could feel his sour mood for the past week, and none knew why.

He stared at the pen and noticed some scribbled over, making him remember to write down notes. But before he could write out the characters, a hand rapidly grabbed his wrist. The form that strangled his arm was light and foggy but still can witness the dulled tone on their disembodied flesh.

'An apparition?! Now?!' He questioned as he was about to stand from his seat and fight, but unfortunately, he was in the middle of classes, and his sword was nowhere near his reach. Before he could take a good look at the spirit, its face nuzzled at his neck, silently weeping.

With widened eyes, he took another look at the hand, it was shaking, and he could feel slight adrenaline coursing through their touch.

"Teru... help me..." A familiar voice sounded.

His breath hitched, and a cold sweat broke through his forehead. As his heart was pounding through his chest, panic soon drifted into his mind as reality struck through him like a hammer. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he turned his gaze around the ghost, instantly regretting it.

Y/N was silently crying on his shoulder, as their scared form was floating mid-air.

What was he gonna do now? His mind was telling him to exorcise them, but his heart was screaming louder than ever to get to the bottom of this situation. He didn't want to have to exorcise them, from the span of a month they became an important person in his life, he didn't want to let them go, no matter his chosen destiny, he would make an exception. For them.

So with his decision, he reluctantly grabbed their hand with his left, silently telling them that he was there. The crying paused, as he felt the weight on his shoulder slightly lighten. Teru flipped his pages to the last piece, and wrote down a message;

'Meet me at the old building rooftop... I'll help you'

He heard a gasp from them, as the grip from his wrist loosened. Then he no longer felt their body pressing against his, a sign that they were on their way to the designated area.

"Mr. Minamoto, are you alright? You're breathing quite heavily, do you need to head to the clinic?"

Teru lifted his head to meet his eyes on their teacher, and several others peering at his state. He was indeed breathing profusely, as noticeable beads of sweat around his forehead. He nodded his head as an exception to their offer.

Teru immediately stood up from his seat and started to keep his items. A few murmurs broke out in the classroom, but he didn't mind that. He grabbed his bag and power-walked outside the classroom.

A batter-filled pan slid into the oven, the orange hot glow illuminating the pan. Teru took a shuffle back and closed the oven door shut; "There."

"Good! Now that those are baking we should dye the icing!"

Teru nodded before staring at the buttercream. They tilted their head in confusion, shortly following his gaze, now having the same dazed expression as him.

The mokkes were enjoying some of the buttercream, so much so that there were some on their bodies. As they were appreciating the sweet goodness of the icing, they looked at the two now realizing their stares.

"Oops, sorry" "This is some good icing." "The greatest~"

Y/N chuckled and grabbed a clean rag to wipe some excess icing on their bodies.

"I guess I'm pretty good at making icing then?" Teru smirked and raised his chin, as he crossed his arms in pride. Y/N and the mokkes stare at him in a deadpan expression.

"E-Erm- let's just color the icing okay?" They walked over to him and poked his cheek.

Y/N was staring at the afternoon sky with their hand close to their chest, void of any heartbeat, the brisk wind lightly blew their hair and clothes.

They were fully aware of Teru's "secret job", another factorin their bond as they despised supernaturals.

He was also serious about exorcising every supernatural that lingers around the campus. Now that they were now one, their mind was racing and they were almost incapable of standing.

From all the laughing, the humor, the happiness, and the comfort they brought to each other. Was that all going to be forgotten from this day forward?

No, of course not. They were about to be exorcised, there would be no next time...

Before a tear could shed through their eyes, two arms slithered around their waist, as they pulled them closer to their warm figure. Y/N's eyes opened wide, they looked over at the figure.

Teru was holding on to them for dear life, his eyes closed shut as his damp breathing was lightly heard.

He mimicked their action before and nuzzled his head to their nape. The feeling was beyond their expectations.

They could feel his racing heart from a centimeter away. The guilt settled in, their eyes glossing from the floating pain. They struggled to unclasp his arms from their waist, pleading to not be treated with such emotions.

If this was the way they were going, it was too cruel.

He noticed them struggling, causing him to tighten his grasp, to the point he clawed his sleeves and skin, as crescent indents can be seen throughout his forearm.

"Teru, please—"

"If you're thinking what I'm thinking, stop it!" He takes a deep breath and lets out a shaky sigh, his teeth slightly clenching trying to keep his composure. "...I would never do that to you."

The atmosphere went silent, not a single soul spoke their mind. Y/N surrendered and let down their arms to hold on to his. Their hair was covering their eyes, and their hearts were in agony and euphoria at the same time. The pain of the circumstances and the calming serenity that surrounds them both.

"You want me to help you right?" He asks, his voice almost breaking to a cry. "Then let me help, but not in the way you think. Because no matter what, I'm not letting you go."

Teru let down his walls, tears already running down his cheek. At that moment, he gained the amount of courage to let out simple, yet meaningful words:

"...I need you."

It was hard for him to comprehend this situation, it was his duty as an exorcist that apparitions would cease to exist.

But exorcising the love of his life felt downright brutal, even for him. When those words came out of his lips, he waited for their reply.

Ghostly arms wrapped around his neck, pulling them into a heartfelt hug. Teru wrapped his arms back, enjoying the sweet moment. He let out a sigh and cracked up a smile.

"You do?" They asked.

He pulled out for a brief second to look them straight in the eyes.

"More than anything"

"And— done!" Y/N pulled up their arm to make the peak of the icing. Teru sprinkled the candy decorations over the cupcakes. They both take a step back to admire their wonderful colorful creations of assorted cupcakes.

"Yay, cupcakes!" "Time to eat!" "Looks yummy."

The mokkes bounced around, shimmering in glee. Y/N walked over and presented them with another batch "Here you go. Make sure to share with the others."

"We will!" And with that, the bunny-like creatures bounced their way outside the halls, enjoying their sugar-baked goods. 

The last mokke stopped and looked back, "You did well this time!"

Teru felt a course of satisfaction goes throughout his body, in the corner of his eyes he saw a white box filled with six cupcakes. He turned his head to see Y/N handing it to him along with another unboxed cupcake.

"Here, try it."

Teru grabbed the treat with his left hand while his right was placed on his nape. He took a small yet delightful bite of the dewy cupcake, along with the sweet and smooth buttercream icing.

"This tastes delicious, almost better than Kou's." He admitted, fixing his gaze on them who were staring at him pleased by his claim. 

"Really? I like his baking better." They said scratching their chin.

"No, seriously, these are good. Here." Teru turns the cupcake towards their face, gesturing for them to take a bite. Y/N had a light blush on their face as they knew what they were about to do.

They stared at it for a few more seconds, until closing their eyes and opened their mouth. Teru's heart leaped at the sight, his eyes couldn't pry from it even if he wanted to.

In a quick motion, he retracted the cake and brought his face to theirs, leading to the thing he had wanted to do the moment they laid eyes on each other.

With a coy smile, Teru closed the gap between their lips.

Y/N's breath hitched, as he held their cheek, not wanting to let go. Before he could pull out, he felt their hand grab onto his wrist.

The fleeting moment made his heart sing with warmth. For them, the person he was captivated by. The one who stole his heart underhandedly. The one he promises to.

He swore he'd find a way. To pull them out of the border and back to the living. There was a way, he knew.

They both pull out in reluctance, looking at each other with half-lidded eyes. His mouth tugged upwards as he observed the baker's stricken expression.

They snuggle into his palms and smile slyly. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for that." They whispered, causing the blond to blush and chuckle, "So did I..."

Suddenly, his lovestruck gaze turned into a determined stare. He slid his hands into theirs, pulling them up to his chest.

"I will find out who did this to you."

For the first time in Teru Minamoto's life, he showed sympathy to the beings that didn't choose their destiny.

He now understood how his brother felt when he proclaimed his idea about assisting spirits rather than resorting to their usual means.

Ironic. Was it because it was his love? Teru didn't care. It was logical, to get to the bottom and roots of the situation rather than removing them.

When the day comes when decisions must be made, he'll do it for their benefit. Even if it meant losing the respect of his family.

Teru made his way to the school entrance gate, with his and Y/N's cupcakes in hand.

"Hey, what took you so long?" His little brother, Kou shouted from the gates.

"Sorry, Kou." He apologizes. Kou then shortly noticed the box he had in hand.

"Woah, cupcakes! Who're they from?" He asked.

The younger Minamoto's question made him chuckle. "I made them."

The answer made him wide-eyed and conflicted. "Eh?! You!? Make these good-looking cupcakes?! The buttercream even looks well made."

"That's rude, you know?" Teru's shoulders dropped at his brother's surprised reaction.

"But, still, there's no way you had made these by yourself!" Kou pointed at him accusingly.

The taller blonde just laughs at his conclusion. "Yeah you're right, I had some help. They're really good too."

Kou eyes him and the cupcakes, skeptical at his claim, he opens the white box and grabs a cupcake.

Taking out the wrapping, he takes a small bite of the treat. And his mind and taste buds thanked him profusely. "These are amazing!"

"Told you." He said, "Anyways we should get going now, I bet Tiara would like some of these." Teru walked forward as Kou followed behind in sugary delight.

"He finally did it." A mokke watching behind a tree said. "About time too." "Do you think there's more cupcakes?"
