Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors Game Review~

Hai gaiz! :D
(eeesh! I haven't blogged in a while, huh? ^u^")
...well that all ends today!

So! I recently completed Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (or 999 for short) which is a game for the DS (but also compatible with the 3DS platform) and I thought I'd write a review on the game since I enjoyed it so much! n.n

--SPOILER WARNING--

I'll try not to spoil the game for people who haven't played it, but I can't promise anything! ^u^"

But just in case, you have been warned :,)

~ ~ ~

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999)

Plot Outline~

You assume the role of Junpei Tenmyouji, a 21 year old college student. 

One night when he arrives back at his apartment, he notices that his window is open. He doesn't recall leaving it that way, but after looking out the window at the surroundings and deciding he must have just left it open before he left, he closes it. He then sees the reflection of Zero (a person dressed in a black cloak and wearing a gas mask) in the window and turns around to see him standing in his apartment. Suddenly being enveloped by smoke that will cause Junpei to pass out, he starts to fall asleep. But before he does, he hears the words..

 "Consider this a privilege. You have been chosen. You are going to participate in a game. The Nonary Game. It is a game...where you will put your life on the line."

spoken from Zero.

Junpei then awakens in a unfamiliar place. After recovering from the nausea, he looks around and determines that he is in the cabin of a cruise ship (which is ultimately, sinking.) While trying to figure out a way to escape from the room he is in, Junpei notices a bracelet on his wrist with the display screen showing a number 5. There are only two ways for the bracelet to be removed, but I'll explain that later :,)

After escaping from the room, Junpei then eventually meets up with 8 other people (making that 9 altogether) and they are told by a voice over a speaker (who claims to be Zero) that they have 9 hours to escape from the ship they are on.

Let the game begin!

Gameplay/style and specifics of the game~

999 is a Visual Novel type of game so if you are unfamiliar with that concept, it basically means there is a lot of reading and very little action on your part. This game also presents a lot of cutscenes which contribute to the story and how it will branch out.

Like I mentioned before, you assume the role of Junpei so you are experiencing this game through the first person view but sometimes when characters are talking, thinking or doing things, this is written out in the third person view.

Now moving into the actual game.

The game itself is separated into two types of gameplay. You have;

The Escape part;

This is where you end up trapped in a room of some description and need to locate items, combined them (if necessary) and solve puzzles in order to earn your escape.

The Novel part;

This is basically just reading through the dialogue that makes up the majority of the game. You will sometimes have to make choices which will lead to what kind of path the story will take. But sometimes the choices that are presented to you don't affect the gameplay, they just make some parts a little more interesting depending on what you choose. (It's kinda obvious though which choices affect the gameplay!)

But first...HOW do you get into these rooms? WHY do you need to get into these rooms?

Well, I will tell you :)

Remember how I mentioned the bracelet on Junpei's wrist? Well it turns out that every character in the game has one and the numbers run from 1 to 9.

To get into all these different rooms, you need to pass through a Numbered Door. These numbered doors each display a number from 1 to 8. You need to pass through the numbered doors to discover another numbered door (since they aren't all in the same place.) 

You start off with the number 4 and 5 doors. 

But not all characters can go through one door; you need to split up.

Why?

Well, according to Zero (who makes an announcement over a speaker) only 3-5 players can pass through one numbered door.

And why is that, you ask?

Well, if all players wanted to pass through the same numbered door, their Digital Root would be 9.

Wait, hold up Serah! What the heck is a Digital Root?

Just wait and I'll explain, okay!? Geez...

Nah! I'm just kidding! ;p

A Digital Root is what happens when you add numbered bracelets together.

So, for example, to get through the Number 5 door, you would do this;

1+2+4+7=14

1+4=5

(5 being the Digital Root)

and to get through the Number 4 door, you would do this;

3+5+6+8=22

2+2=4

(4 being the Digital Root)

Does that make sense? That is how you make a Digital Root.

Of course there are other ways to go, you don't have to use those numbers, I just chose those as an example :,)

So. 

Now that we've figured out HOW to pass through the numbered doors, there is something else we need to consider. These things are;

The REDs and the DEADs.

What are the REDs and DEADs?

Well, let me explain :,)

..I should really stop doing that, huh? x,D

The RED is the Recognition Device.

Once you've decided which door you are going through and who will be going through which door (after working out the digital root) you will then place you hand on the RED so it can scan your bracelet, check the digital root matches the door number and open for you and whoever else is coming with you.

The DEAD however has a slightly "different" function, let's say..

The DEAD is the Deactivation Device.

But what exactly are we deactivating?

...

Oh yea! I neglected to mention the fact that, while every player was unconscious after being abducted, Zero force fed them a small bomb that is now just chilling out in their lower intestine.

............

Yea, ikr? :,)

Once the players have scanned their bracelets at the RED and passed through the numbered door within 9 seconds (that's how long the door will remain open for), this will trigger the detonator in their bracelets to activate and if they don't scan their bracelets at the DEAD within 81 seconds (how specific is that!?) after passing through the numbered door, the bomb within their intestine will explode leaving behind and brutal and bloody mess..

Let's briefly return to the bracelets and I'll talk about how they can be removed.

There are, in fact, only two ways the bracelets can be removed. They are;

1. If the player completes the Nonary Game and leaves the confines of the ship.

or

2. If the player's heart rate reaches zero. In other words, if the player dies...their bracelet will come off.

...

Yea, that's that really. That's pretty much it. Simple, right? :,)

Okay! And lastly I'm going to talk about how the players advance forward after successfully completing the puzzles found in rooms beyond the numbered doors.

Scattered around the ship are either locked doors with keyholes, locked doors with a card reader or elevators with card readers each baring a Astrological Symbol next to them.

Within each room, the final puzzle will reveal either a key or a card.

What's special about these is that each one is engraved with an astrological symbol that will match with either a door and an elevator.

So, for example...a card might show the astrological symbol for Mars ( ♂ ) and a key might show the astrological symbol for Jupiter ( ♃ ) and so on.

The point of collecting these keys and cards is that they the open doors and elevators within the ship that lead them closer to the exit and their freedom.

You may remember that when I first mentioned the numbered doors, I listed numbers 1-8. But what about the number 9 door?

Well, it just so happens that the Number 9 door is what leads them to their exit...sort of.

People who have played the game will know what I mean by "sort of" and for the people who haven't played the game...I'm going to refrain from mentioning anymore than that otherwise things will be spoiled that I do not wish to spoil :,)

But I think you have the general idea now, right? If not...play the GAME! ;D

So.

That's all for the gameplay and general style of the game.

Now I'm going to briefly (I think..) talk about the different endings you will encounter when playing this game.

There are 6 possible endings you will achieve. 

I say possible because one ending (The Coffin ending) isn't really necessary. I mean, I like to play through every ending a game can offer just to see the different outcomes, but I will say that The Coffin ending is really...well, for a lack of a better word pointless :,) because it stops right before where The True ending would continue, so I recommend not bothering with that. 

Unless you want to, of course :,) I mean...I did, so.. :p

But before you can play through The True ending, you will need to unlock The Safe ending which is vital in processing further.

There are 5 bad endings and 1 good ending (which is obviously The True ending).

The other endings are classed as "bad" because Junpei and at least one other character ends up dying. Unless you play The Sub ending in which case...everyone dies apart from--

WAIT! Never mind :,) 

...

Phewf! Dodged a bullet there :p

So, if you avoid playing The Coffin ending, then there are really only 5 endings in total you would get :,)

You will notice that when playing this game, on the home menu, there are 6 little boxes which will reveal a picture when you achieve a certain ending. If you choose to avoid The Coffin ending, don't think..

 "Wait...do I not get the picture if I don't play it?!"

because you will get the picture :,) if you play The True ending which, I assume you'll do, that icon will unlock along with The True ending icon because, like I said, The Coffin ending stops right where The True ending continues, so they kinda link together.

One last thing!

I actually played The Sub ending twice...in a row, which annoyed me .w.

So, if you're like me and don't fancy accidentally playing the same endings over and OVER because you want to get to the super-amazing-OMFG-I-did-NOT-see-that-coming True ending, then this guide will help you out!

As you can see, it shows all the routes you can take in order to achieve whatever ending you wish to see.

You're welcome! x,D

[ RANDOM TIP WITH SERAH ]

Make sure you pay very close attention to the Story Checks in the box. After playing The Safe ending, you will need to pass all of those story checks when playing through The True ending. If you don't, it will ultimately lead to The Coffin ending.

Characters~

Now for my favourite part!

Let's talk about the main characters of the game! Yay! ^v^

. . .

Name; [ not specified because SPOILER ]

Alais; Ace

Age; 50

Bracelet number; 1

Ace is...kind of a dick :,) I don't know...I mean, there are obvious reasons for him to be disliked, but I really do not like this man!

When playing the game, he appears to trust the other players completely and often shows acts of being rather heroic. Pfft, yea right >. > I mean, yea...but I don't buy it :,)

When playing through The Safe ending and The True ending, it is actually revealed that Ace is cruel, sadistic and uncompassionate.

He also has a cognitive disorder known as Prosopagnosia which is a face recognition impairment meaning that he can't identify between peoples faces. But that's all I'll say about that as if I went into more detail, I'd end up giving some things away that I didn't mean to :,)

Name; [ I won't say so that if you haven't played the game, you can find out for yourself ]
Alais; Snake
Age; 24 (I'm sorry, but he does NOT look 24!!! I spent the game thinking he was at least 40+!!!)
Bracelet number; 2

No offence Snake, but you really don't look 24! :,) 

That's why I found it so hard to believe that him and Clover are brother and sister because the age gap was just...too much for my brain to understand! I was thinking..

 "HOW young must their parents have been when they had Snake..?" 

he really looked 40+ to me :,)

But I digress!

Oh, by the way! Him being Clover's brother isn't necessarily a spoiler as you find that out at the start of the game :)

I quite like Snake. He's definitely one of my favourite characters. He is calm, level-headed, practical and logical. He can be a bit arrogant at times...but he also has a lot of knowledge on various subjects which is presented a lot throughout the game. Him and Clover are very close and it is suggested he would do anything to keep her safe.

Aawwwhhh~

Name; [ not specified because SPOILER ]

Alais; Santa

Age; 24

Bracelet number; 3 . . . 

Santa! <3 

Yea...attracted to this guy ;w; NOT as much as Junpei though! ...maybe :,)

So. Santa, Santa, Santa...

What to say about this guy? :p

Santa is very smug and cocky and quite mysterious; he doesn't reveal much about himself at all. He also has no spirit of cooperation and is shown to always be suspicious of other players.

He is also very sarcastic and when provoked or is already angry, he uses very vulgar language which, I have to admit, made me laugh a few times :,)

Name; Clover [ I'll keep her last name a secret as that'll give Snake's last name away ]

Alais; Clover (...idk how that makes sense..)

Age; 18

Bracelet number; 4

Yay! I love Clover! <3 she is my favourite character in the whole game! *w*

As I already mentioned, her and Snake and brother and sister and are very close. When Clover is separated from Snake to go through different doors, she gets very upset.

Clover is very bubbly, whimsical, eccentric, sensitive and prone to mood swings :,) 

When the players are all together, she tends not to speak as much but when they are separated to go through numbered doors, she talks more as the groups are smaller.

When she is happy, she is very upbeat and cheerful.

But when she is upset, she isn't afraid to say what she thinks and becomes quite bratty, spoiled and selfish. 

Name; Junpei Tenmyouji [ the protagonist ]

Alias; thanks to Akane...he doesn't have one >. > 

Age; 21

Bracelet number; 5

First of all...

HOW. Hot. Is. He!? ;3; I sooo want him as my boyfriend </3

Junpei, in my opinion, is a very likeable character. Even though he does make very predictable jokes that also aren't funny in what could be classed as "serious" situations, he's still quite sweet.

He has a very caring personality, especially towards Akane (who is his childhood friend) and Clover (mostly in The True ending regarding Clover) and he also has a strong sense of justice.

Name; Akane Kurashiki [ her name is revealed at the start, so it isn't really a spoiler ]

Alias; June

Age; 21

Bracelet number; 6 . . .

Akane is a very sweet girl (..you could say..?) and very caring towards the other players (especially Junpei who is her childhood friend.)

She appears to be very cheerful and happy, trusts all the other players and objected to anyone being left behind. She also sometimes made jokes to try and lighten the mood when things took a dark turn. Throughout the Nonary Game, she falls in and out of a fever, but that is explained in The True ending and she also reacts far worse than the others when she sees dead bodies often breaking down into tears.

Name; [ Unknown ]

Alais; Seven
Age; 45
Bracelet number; 7

Seven is definitely...an interesting one :,)

He talks with a lazy accent, so saying words like "thinking" as "thinkin'" and "Wadda ya mean?" instead of "what do you mean?" so you wouldn't think that he has knowledge that is comparable to a scholar :,) 

Seven is also a very large man as Junpei compares him to a "mountain" when they first meet..! :,) he is also awkward, lacks delicacy and is quite blunt. He often gets into spats with Lotus and sometimes shows a kind of...perverted attitude (especially in the Operating Room.)

Name; [ I won't say so that if you haven't played the game, you can find out for yourself ]

Alais; Lotus

Age; 40

Bracelet number; 8

Yea, well...what can I say? This is Lotus :,)

She's NOT an exhibitionist! If you make that mistake, she'll rip your head right off!

R.I.P. Seven..

Nah, just kidding! He is alive and well...I reckon..

Aaaaanyway!

Lotus is quite cryptic as a person, but at the same time, she also has quite a laid-back attitude. Although if someone insults her age or the way she dresses, she will go ape shit! :,) ..Seven is usually the victim to this!

She is quite harsh and brash and has no problem correcting someone if they're wrong. While all those things, she can also surprise everyone by sometimes being quite soft and sympathetic towards her companions.

Name; [ not specified because SPOILER ]

Age; Unknown

Alais; None

Bracelet number; 9

There isn't really much to say about this guy at all as he "gets it" pretty close to the start of the game :,) therefore he has no real character. But he is relevant to the story if you follow The True ending, so that's why I've kept his name secret.

But from what we saw of him, he appeared to be very nervous and had a stutter when he spoke. Although he had no problem ordering people around when he conducted his heist, but you'll see what I mean if you play the game :,)

. . .

Sequel and possible third instalment~

There is a follow up game to 999 which is Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.

This game is available on the 3DS and PS Vita platforms. And if you play 999 and enjoy it, then VLR is definitely a must :,)

..or if you enjoyed VLR, then 999 is a must.. ^v^"

...

Caught on yet? 

Oh! Well, if not...then I actually played VLR before 999 > <

I knew VLR had a prequel, but I forgot that you can play DS games on a 3DS console, so I just dismissed it!! Then once I completed VLR, while looking on the internet to see if there was a third game (because that FREAKING cliffhanger!) I saw people talking about 999 and was like...well, meh. I can't play it! The next day, I was looking through my 3DS games trying to find one to play and noticed Another Code: Two Memories which is for the DS. So I was like..

 "OMG! I can play DS games on the 3DS!"

I was SO annoyed at myself for forgetting that :,)

But, regardless of what some people said, playing VLR first didn't ruin my enjoyment of 999 at all. In fact, if anything, it helped me understand 999 more :,) I mean, yea you know who organised the Nonary Game because it's the same person in VLR (not technically a spoiler..) but that was it.

I mean, I'm not suggesting you should play VLR before 999...I'm just saying that even though I did, it didn't make the game any less enjoyable.

Like I mentioned, Virtue's Last Reward (the sequel) finished on a major cliffhanger. SO major that I nearly broke my PS Vita and threw it out my bedroom window and leave it to rot :,)

So I did go looking for the sequel to VLR, but there isn't one yet :<

Apparently the creator of the games, Kotaro Uchikoshi, couldn't find a sponsor for the game since they didn't do well enough in Japan.

So the fans (seriously amazing fans!) joined together and formed a Facebook page under the name "Operation Bluebird" in hope to raise awareness for the Zero Escape series ;3; 

And it's been announced recently that it's possible Zero Escape 3 will still be made! Apparently Kotaro Uchikoshi is working on another game, and if that does well, he'll definitely get to work on Zero Escape 3! I've seen news that the game will be released this year...but I don't even think it's been made yet...so maybe people got confused! But either way, Kotaro Uchikoshi is working very hard for his fans! So I definitely can't wait to see what the third and final instalment will hold! Hopefully answers to all those unanswered questions!! *w*

My Thoughts~

I personally loved this game SO much! *w*

Like I said, I played VLR first (I should pay attention to game platforms more..) and I didn't think I'd enjoy 999 as much so I was very surprised when I did! In fact, out of the two, I think 999 is my favourite! Maybe the ship they are on is much nicer to look at than a warehouse space (like in VLR) and I also found the characters a lot more fun :,) everyone is rather serious in VLR.. :,)

I also wasn't expecting to cry :,) which is weird since I'm the hugest crybaby, but this game actually hit me right there ;n; especially The Safe ending and The True ending </3 I mean, it was all good, but..! Ah! I really can't say much at all without spoiling it :,)

But this game also had a lot of OMFG WTH!? moments in it which makes it even MORE enjoyable! I love things like that! You know, when something happens and you had no idea it would? SO much fun!

I also liked all the characters (aside from Ace...) and their relationships with each other :,) especially Seven and Lotus's relationship! They made me laugh too much x,D and also Seven and Clover when they're in the Operating Room...it's just TOO funny sometimes :,)

And the puzzles! 

Wow! I mean, I love games that make you think...but there has to be a limit, right? :,) I mean, I seriously loved the puzzles in this game, but some where pretty damn hard! Like, I'm not even kidding! It took me an eternity to figure out The Steam Engine and Cargo Room puzzles > < and the sudoku puzzle at the end!? I'm usually great at those, but that took me and eternity x 2 to figure out! ;^; good thing that puzzle wasn't actually timed or Akane would be screwed! :,) 

Well she actually was in a few-- 

STOP OMG! Qwo;

See? It's hard to go into a lot of detail when I don't want to spoil things for the people who haven't played this game who may want to! >. >

And the soundtrack for the game <3 it's SO intense and creates such an incredible atmosphere! I'm listening to it as I write this blog and I'm freaking out because ...OMG! It's just too good :,)

Like this piece:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6hyWPmt9mc&index=20&list=PL3C162B6EAB26F3E7

Just...WHOA! *w*

And also this piece:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml_4sSErukI&list=PL3C162B6EAB26F3E7&index=9

This actually reminds me a bit of the soundtrack from the Another Code games! <3

Oh! And this piece:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_EhhZN_CxI&index=23&list=PL3C162B6EAB26F3E7

It's SOO cool, right?! *v*

And this was the piece that stuck with me the most throughout the game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4v6vC_ew00&index=24&list=PL3C162B6EAB26F3E7

It's kind of a really cool feeling right in my very soul to listen to it now ;3;

And this final piece:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvKMtjLZgw4&list=PL3C162B6EAB26F3E7&index=25

The feelings that come with this...I'm literally on the verge of crying ;^; GOSH! That moving final scene where they're just...ahh~ *sighs contentedly* <3

......

So...to sum up!! :,) I'm basically just trying to say I loved every aspect this game had to offer!

Took me long enough! :F

And also sorry for the link spam! ^v^"

My Overall Score~

I'm going to score the game, out of 10, on each main feature :)

So, we have:

> Graphics: 8/10 (pretty awesome for a DS game!)

> Music: 10/10

> Character Design: 10/10

> Puzzles: 10/10

> Content: 10/10

Overall: 9.5/10

Basically there really is nothing I can say to fault this game! It was literally beyond incredible and I want to play it again and again and again and again!

These are nothing but my honest opinions, I promise! :)

I really...just...BEG everyone who is reading this review who hasn't played the game to go and play it! I'm telling you that if you like Visual Novel games with a great story, great characters, mind-blowing plot twists and mind-boggling puzzles...this will be your LOVE! :,)

And to everyone who has played it...GO PLAY IT AGAIN! :,)

~ ~ ~

So, that was my...very lengthy review on Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999) DS game :)

Just a little...note let's say, to the people who have played this game:

I know (trust me, I do!) that I neglected to mention a lot of details :,) I just don't want you to think I didn't fully understand the plot or anything, but the reason I left out a lot was because I didn't want to spoil it for the people who haven't played it (like I said hundreds of times throughout the review.)

So, if you're thinking..

 "Why didn't she mention this and that?"

And that's because if I did mention this, then this would lead to that which would then lead to big spoiler! So...that's why! n.n

And plus if I had decided to go all out and talk about everything that the game included...this blog might never have ended. It would seriously be the longest game review ever! Owo;

If you have any questions regarding the game, please leave a comment below and I will try my best to answer with as much detail as possible! ^v^

Thank you for reading this blog! ..and well done if you made it to the end :,)

BYESIES~!

Time Shared Together~

pairing; [ Tokiya Ichinose x Otoya Ittoki ]

(a small note from Serahrah (the author))
This is a fanfiction me and one of my best friends, Nina-chin decided to write. Tokiya and Otoya (OtoKiya) are seriously our favourite and most HNNNNNNNNNNG-some yaoi pairing EVER! <3
So we decided to write a fanfiction no matter how much we may nosebleed and/or die once we’ve finished x////x
I’d also like to point out that I have NO experience in writing yaoi fanfics, so…I have absolutely no idea how this will turn out.. ^w^”
But if you are a yaoi fan and also a OtoKiya fan reading this, then I hope you enjoy it! *w*

~ ~ ~

 “Tokiyaaaa! You said you’d be finished by now…”
Otoya whined, once again, and threw himself onto my bed in an almost childish manner.
 “I told you, I need to get this work finished before the deadline tomorrow. And why are you on my bed..?” I sighed and continued typing.
 “But you never forget deadlines! How did you manage to this time?!”
Geez…shut up, already! Then maybe I’d finish quicker.
 “Hey, Tokiya? Are you listening to me?”
Ignore him. Ignore him.
 “Hey, Tokiya?”
 “Shut up!!” I shouted.
I looked over at Otoya who was displaying the emotion of a hurt puppy on his face. It twinged a little inside me and I felt bad instantly.
The problem with us two sharing a dorm was that I was always willing to do work while Otoya preferred messing around. We clashed in that sense…but other than that, we usually get along quite well…
I felt heat rush upon my face.
It was just unfortunate that today I promised Otoya we’d go out and do something and then after making that promise remembering the work I’d forgotten to do.
I sighed as I watched him pout… still on my bed!!
The anger inside me flared up again.
 “I’m nearly done. So just wait a few more minutes.”
 “Okaaaaaaaay.” 
Tch. That stupid whining voice. 
I reached over to open my desk drawer that had some reference papers in there I needed to use, but when I opened it, I saw they were gone.
I opened the two drawers underneath it. Nothing.
 “Hey, Otoya? Have you seen my—“
I looked over at him and saw him flicking through the papers I needed.
 “Otoya! Where the hell did you get those from!?” I yelled as I stood up.
 “Hm? These? They were just on your beside table.” He said in a nonchalant way.
 “Well, I need them. So give them here.” I reached out my hand.
He looked at my hand then back at the papers and a small, mischievous smile appeared on his face.
What was he thinking..?
 “You forgot to say the magic word!” He teased.
My eyes widened. “I-I’m not kidding, Otoya! Give them to me now!”
I tried to snatch them off him but he jerked his hand away.
 “No magic word, no papers!” He jumped up to standing.
 “Still on my bed…” I sighed. “Seriously Otoya. I need them.”
 “You know what you have to do~” He sang. “It starts with a ‘p’ and ends with a ‘e’.”
I glared at him. “You know this is just delaying us from going out.”
 “No, you’re delaying us from going out. It’s not a big magic word, only a short one.”
Geez! I reached to snatch for them again but he moved his hand up above his head.
 “Uh-oh!” He sang. “Got to try harder than thaaaaat~”
 “Fine.” I said.
In one swift movement, I reached my hands behind his knees and pulled them forward and in doing so, caused Otoya to fall backwards onto my bed. Before he could move…I quickly positioned myself on top of him.
 “H-Hey, Tokiya..! What are you doing!?” Otoya asked while colour flooded his entire face.
 “You know I’m too stubborn to do what you say…” I began. “So why don’t we do this in exchange for those damn papers.”
I slowly slid my hands up his arms and locked fingers with him when I reached his hands.
 “Hey, Tokiya! Wh-What are you doing?! Do we really have time for th-this?!” He stammered.
He was blushing more and more every second. It was…annoyingly cute.
I brushed a small bit of red hair out of his eyes and bent down to close the distance between us.
Otoya was quite surprised at first; I could tell because his body suddenly tensed up, but after a few seconds, he began to relax.
I could feel his breath tickle my face every time we kissed, each time we both became more and more desperate. I took a quick peek at Otoya and he was blushing so much.
I moved to weave my hands through his hair and started kissing his neck.
Every time I kissed him, he let out a small moan which just spurred me on even more.
 “Damn it, Otoya..” I groaned.
I moved my hands up his shirt and started kissing him again.
 “T-Tokiya.. it feels t— aahh~”
Stop talking, I thought.
I went back to kissing his lips. I felt Otoya’s tongue slide in my mouth very suddenly.
 “Nngh!”
I think I was getting too carried away…but I couldn’t stop.
I was kissing him more hungrily now, wanting to taste him each time we kissed.
 “Mmf~ Aah~”
 “Ahhh~” Otoya suddenly wrapped his legs around my waist.
I quickly moved to start unbuttoning his shirt and didn’t even pause to catch my breath before I started kissing his stomach.
 “Aaah~ T-Tokiya..!”
I pulled off his shirt and kissed his arms…his hands…his collar bone…his stomach again.
His legs tightened, almost painfully, around my waist.
 “Otoya…th— aah~”
Otoya has moved his hands up my shirt now and started kissing my neck.
 “Otoya..! Aaah~”
 “Tokiya..!”
My face was burning. I needed to breathe!
I pushed Otoya back down and we both stopped. We were breathing so heavily and even though I couldn’t see my face, I knew it must have been as red as Otoya’s.
 “Tokiya..! I can’t take it anymore..” Otoya pleaded.
I smirked at his expression. “Too bad.”
I bent down to kiss him again. He was tired, I could tell. But I didn’t want to stop.
I knew what I was about to do next would cause a lot of protest on Otoya’s part, so I slowly moved his hands down to his side and pinned them down as hard as I could.
 “T-Tokiya! What are you— aah~ AaAH! Wait..! Stop! Aaaaah~”
I started to lick and suck viciously at where there was a hard shape protruding from his jeans. I could feel my face grow hotter and hotter as Otoya continued to squirm around, but I didn’t want to stop.
 “Aaah~ Ahhhh~ Aaah~ Tokiyaaa~”
He continued moaning and I could feel it grow even more.
I sat up and quickly pulled his jeans down.
 “Tokiya! No! I can’t take it anymore!”
He was blushing so much and making the cutest erotic expressions.
I kissed him swiftly and deeply and then moved back down.
As soon as I started, Otoya began to squirm even more and moan even louder.
All around us the sounds of Otoya moaning and slurping filled the room.
He had stopped moving his hands, so I slipped my own behind his back and pushed him even further into my mouth.
 “N-aah! Tokiya…it feels so good— aaaahhh~”
His moans were exciting me more and more each time, so I decided to move even faster. I wanted to hear him moan. A lot.
 “Aaaah~ Tokiya, Tokiyaaaa~! N-aaaahh~ A-AAAHH!!”
He suddenly began squirming even more underneath me and as suddenly as that began, a violent shudder ran through his body and I felt that liquid enter my mouth.
I looked up at Otoya who was breathing heavily. I could see his chest heaving up and down as he took deep breaths. I took a deep gulp and moved to sitting up. I didn’t realise how out of breath I was until all I could hear was both of trying to catch our breath.
I moved slightly and felt a wet patch in my jeans. I looked down and it was all over the crotch area.
 “Dammit, Otoya! That’s your fault for getting me too excited..” I mumbled.
 “E-Eh?” Otoya breathed.
I didn’t think he heard what I said, so I bent down to kiss him again.
 “Tokiya… I kind of don’t want to go out anymore… I’m too tired…”
I smiled at him. “Yea, me too…”
I fell next to Otoya and wrapped my arms around him.
 “What about your paper?” He whispered.
 “That’s fine for a few hours…”
I felt Otoya’s head snuggle up into my neck and I smiled as I found myself drifting off to sleep.

(a small note from Serahrah (the author))
I AM SO NOSEBLEEDING RIGHT NOW OMGOMGOMG THIS WAS SO HOT!!!
First time writing a yaoi fanfic! I’m quite proud of that! ///////////
Now, if you’ll excuse me…
 “volcanically nosebleeds to death” x///////x

~ ~ ~

Now some OtoKiya peeeeektures because...
THEY'RE SO HAAAAWT AND CUUUTE AND OMF-- <33333 

OMGOMGOMGOMGG!! //////// *dies again*

...goodbye! x//////x

First blog of 2015! ^w^

It's not like I was planning on this being a "New Year" blog.. =w=
...

Well...HAPPY NEW YEAR! *w*
...I didn't say anything! > <

In all seriousness though...how late am I in posting this blog? I was meaning to do it within the first few days of the new year, clearly that didn't happen :,) well...better late than never, I guess! ^u^

I know that when the new year starts, loads of people say..
 "I'm feeling SO great this year! I'm going to make this year MY year!!"
and, if I'm being honest, that annoys me :,)
But I'm kind of feeling that this year (though not in the same cheesy and irritating way) x,D
I have quite a few plans and things I want to accomplish this year and I'm reeeeeeally motivated to get them done! >w<
So let's see then...

Serahrah's New Year's Resolutions! ..

1. To lose some weight!
    Now, when I say that, I don't mean hella amounts of weight. In fact, I don't even have a goal of how much weight I want to lose :,) but I actually feel it's better that way because if you never actually lose the amount of weight you want...it just nags and nags at you until you go a liiiiiiiiiiiittle bit crazy x,D
So...to summarise (heh..) to lose a reasonable amount of weight and...huh. I guess that's it :F

2. To become more healthy and active.
    (This is really a part two to resolution 1.)

3. To find my own style n.n
    I've been SO bored with my current style for so long now ;^; I've been dressing in what you could describe as "gothic" and/or "alternative" clothing since I was about 14/15 and I've just grown so tired of it. But because that's the style I've known for the majority of my life, I don't know how else to dress :,3 so this year, I plan on finding a brand new style that I feel comfortable in and enjoy wearing as much I as I used to enjoy dressing in my alternative stuffffff :,)

4. Go to Japan! <3
    This is something me and one of my best friends have been planning for so, so, so, SOOO long! We just want to go SO much but obviously there is the issue of money ;-; but we've both been trying our hardest to save for this AWESOME guided tour we found and hopefully!!! this will be the year we finally get to go!! *v*

5. Learn basic/intermediate Japanese.
    (This is really a part two to resolution 4. although I have been wanting to learn for a while now x,D)

6. To complete a total story plan for the idea I have ^u^
    I have a story idea I've been stuck with for SO long and I'm desperate to start writing it :,) obviously writing a story is a real deal, so that's why I've given myself the whole year to write this plan n.n I want to make sure I have every single little detail worked and figured out; right down to what each chapter will contain. If I have all this figured out before the end of the year, I might start writing it. But only if I'm super confident in starting it :3

~ ~ ~

So, I believe that's it!
Those are my new year's resolutions and I'm hoping this year I'll be able to complete them all.
Although the whole "become healthy and active" is kind of a "on-going" thing...
BUT ANYWAY! >w<

So thank you very much if you read this blog! ^u^ I'm planning to blog a lot more this year, so hopefully I'll have a new one up soon! :D I was going to make that a new year's resolution, but I felt like maybe I might not keep it heheh :,3

Once again, thankyouuuu for reading! And I'll should have a new blog up soon! :3

BYESIES~!
                                xoxo~

A Fateful Encounter; part 2~

This is a continuation to my previous "A Fateful Encounter" story ^u^

pairing; [ Shintaro Midorima x Serah Maekawa ]

~ ~ ~

 “Yo, Serah.”
I was putting my indoor shoes in my locker when a familiar voice interrupted me.
 “Oh! Hey, Kagami! What’s up?” I asked as the closed the door.
 “So, Nina told me you didn’t come to support the match the other day.”
My eyes widened and my face flushed.
I became friends with Kagami pretty quickly since the term started at Seirin High because we were in the same class…but I’d never actually told him that I didn’t enjoy basketball.
 “Yea…about that.” I paused to think. “I was busy, and—“
He glared at me.
 “Okay, fine! I’m sorry, I just don’t really like basketball that much. It’s…I just don’t really understand the game.” I smiled innocently at him.
He rolled his eyes at my probably ridiculous facial expression.
 “That’s fine, but it’s pretty important for the team to have as much support as possible. You’ll come to the next one, right?” He asked.
 “Erm…no?” I replied.
 “It’ll be a good one, though! We’ll be playing against Shutoku High which has a player who was in the Generation of Miracles.”
That rang a small bell. I think Nina-chin mentioned something like that before…I think she said it was Kise-kun who was a member?
 “Is that really so interesting though? I mean, isn’t Kuroko one of those…people.”
 “Yes, but he’s on our team.”
 “…that’s a really poor attempt at trying to convince me to come and watch.” I laughed.
 “Geez, Serah! It’s not like I’m asking you to jump of a cliff or something! Just to come and watch the game!”
 “Okay, okay! Calm down.” I gestured with my hands.
Kagami has a kind of crazy temper which, if I was honest, frightened me sometimes.
 “Just because you’re scaring me a bit right now, I guess I’ll go.”
 “Yes!” He slapped my shoulder as thanks.
 “Ow! Remember I’m not the sports player here! I’m just a fragile little girl!” I said while rubbing my shoulder.
He laughed slightly. “Okay, it’s tomorrow afternoon at—“
 “Kagami. Practice is starting.”
We both turned to the side to see Kuroko standing there.
…
 “GYAH!?” We both shouted in unison.
 “K-Kuroko!! How long have you been there?!” I shrieked.
 “A while.” He replied.
I glanced over at Kagami who looked equally surprised. “Okay. I’m coming.”
He turned back to me. “Ask Nina about it. I know she wants to go as well. See ya’”
I waved as Kagami walked off with Kuroko.
How is it he lacks presence in that way? It’s kinda creepy…

~ ~ ~

It turned out that Nina-chin was going to the match. I wasn’t sure why though since Kise-kun wasn’t playing, but I wasn’t going to question it. At least I’d have company being somewhere I didn’t even want to be. We had just entered the stands when Nina-chin suddenly dashed off.
 “W-Wait! Hey! Where are you going?” I asked while trying to keep up.
 “Kise-kun was going to save us both a seat!” She sang happily while blushing slightly.
Kise-kun? I didn’t know they were that friendly with each other…
But she was right. Kise-kun stood up and waved us both over where there were two spare seats.
 “Hi Serah! Hi Nina-chaaaaan!” Kise-kun said as we approached him.
 “Hi.” I smiled as I sat down.
He started talking to Nina-chin straight away.
Wow. They really were friendly with each other. I wonder when that started?
I was about to scold Nina-chin for not telling me if something was going on with her and Kise-kun when he flung his arm out towards the court.
 “Look! Look! Here they come!” He shouted excitedly.
I turned to face the court and saw both teams coming out.
 “It’s against Shutoku today!” Said Kise-kun. “It’s Midorimacchi who was part of the Generation of Miracles in that team.”
I blinked at him. “Midorimacchi?” I asked while hiding a smirk.
 “Midorima Shintaro.” Nina-chin corrected him. “Over there.”
I followed where she was pointing and spotted Kagami talking to a green haired boy.
Green hair?
Green hair…
Green hair!
I jumped forward in my seat. “Wait! That’s Midorima?! The boy with green hair?”
 “Yea, why?” Nina-chin asked.
I mean, when he was sat in the cart…I couldn’t tell how tall he was. But now he was standing…it was so obvious he’d be a basketball player. He was even taller than Kagami!
 “Do you know him?” Kise-kun asked, clearly surprised at my reaction.
 “Yes!” I replied. “I mean…no, not really. I spoke to him and someone named Takao, I think for a few seconds. But I had no idea they were basketball players.”
 “You spoke to him? When?” Nina-chin asked.
 “It was the other day. When you went to see the other basketball match. I went to the store and saw Takao peddling a bike and Midorima was sat in the cart.”
 “Cart?” Kise-kun laughed.
 “Yes!” I glared at him. “He was sat in a cart!”
I looked back at the court and he’d moved over to where his team was waiting. I looked at him for a long moment before turning back to Kise-kun. “What made him good enough to be in the Generation of Miracles?”
 “He does amazing long range shots and has high accuracy in…pretty much everything he does!” Kise-kun replied.
It seemed like he admired him a lot.
I looked back over towards the court again and watched Midorima as he unwrapped what appeared to be white tape from around his fingers. Once he finished, he pushed his glasses up his nose and flicked some hair from his face. I’m not sure why but when he did that, I felt heat rush upon my face.
What is that?
 “Are you alright?” Nina-chin asked.
I slid back in my chair, groaning. Why was this person I didn’t know affecting me like this. “I’m fine.” I responded.
I hadn’t thought of Midorima since when I saw him for the first time, but now I suddenly felt this strange attraction towards him. Like I was, somehow, drawn to him.
I load beep echoed around the room and I jumped in my seat. “What was that?!” I cried.
 “Serah, calm down.” Nina-chin said. “It was just the buzzer. The game is about to start.”
 “Here we gooooo~!” Shouted Kise-kun.
Him and Nina-chin both leant forward as the game began.
I then found I was focused on the game as the sound of skidding shoes and the ball beating on the court reverberated around the hall. But it wasn’t so much the game…more like I was focused on Midorima.

The game lasted for ages, but felt like a blur in the moment.
It juggled back and forth between Seirin leading and Shutoku leading.
In the end, it was Seirin who won. I was happy that our team won…but I felt bad that Midorima had lost.
I felt bad, but…more than that, I was actually surprised!
Kise-kun wasn’t lying about Midorima’s amazing ability in being able to shoot from far away! And his skills in playing the game in general! I still didn’t understand the game, but even I could tell he was amazing! I was blown away…and even more drawn to him than I was before.
 “Serah? Are you coming?”
 “Hm?” I looked up to see Nina-chin looking at me.
 “The game is over. I’m going to go and congratulate the team!”
 “Oh!” I stood up to follow her. “Sure, let’s go!”
We walked down from the stands and approached the team. “Hey, where did Kise-kun go?”
 “He said he’ll wait for me outside.” She blushed.
I rolled my eyes. “Hey, Nina-chin. Is there something going on between you and—“
 “WE WON!!!”
I was interrupted by Riko running towards us. “We won! We won! Isn’t that great?!” She screamed.
 “It’s amazing! Well done!” Nina-chin smiled at her.
 “Even I have to admit that was a really good game.” I awkwardly laughed.
While Nina-chin began giving more congratulations to Riko, I took a quick glance across the court to see if Midorima was hanging around.
But from what I could see…he was the only member from his team not there. I wonder where he went?
 “Are you coming Serah?”
 “Huh?” I asked.
 “Are you coming to celebrate with us?” Riko asked.
 “Oh!”
 “Are you okay? You’ve been spacing out since the end of the match.” Nina-chin looked worried.
 “Oh no! I’m fine. I think I’m just…a bit tired. It’s the first time I’ve sat through one of these things, you know? I’ll probably just go home and get some rest.” I smiled at them.
 “Okay. We’ll see you at school tomorrow?”
 “Oh, of course! I’ll be fine by then!” I waved at them as I left the hall.
I sighed deeply. “I need to go home and find a way to stop thinking about Midorima.”
I didn’t understand it. I didn’t even know this guy!
When I arrived at the entrance to the stadium, I saw it was raining outside.
 “Phew. Thank god I listened to Nina-chin and brought my umbrella.”
I popped it up and began my walk home.
There weren’t many people around now. I guess they’d all seen the weather and decided to leave quickly. Can’t say I blame them…the rain is gross.
 “What’s wrong with you?! Enough alread—“
 “Eek!” I jumped as a loud voice echoed from behind me.
I spun around and found Midorima standing against the wall in his uniform. He was soaking wet! He must be freezing!
He spotted me and must of realised him shouting abruptly like that had frightened me. He gestured with his hand for me to wait until he was done. Maybe he wanted to apologise.
 “Aomine? I did.”
He paused. “You should be careful in the championship league.”
 “…you haven’t changed Aomine. Don’t you understand? You’ll be playing against Kuroko in the championship league.”
 “Sure.”
He went to hang up his phone when a girl’s voice erupted from it. “Midorin! Sorry to bother you when you’re sad! Cheer up!”
 “Shut up!” Yelled a male voice.
After that, he finally hung up.
That sounded like a weird conversation.
He put his phone in his pocket and looked over at me.
We stood like that for a while.
 “Any particular reason you were standing there listening to my phone call?” He asked.
 “Eh?” I was surprised that was the first thing he said. “I thought you wanted me to wait.”
 “No. I gestured with my hand to say “I wasn’t talking to you” when my shouting made you jump.”
I blushed. That made more sense. Ugh…I feel like an idiot.
 “Sorry…” I murmured.
I thought for a second. “Erm…here! You can borrow my umbrella. My house isn’t too far from here and you’ll catch a cold if you continue to stand out here uncovered.”
As I stretched out my hand to give him my umbrella, he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
Before I could protest, he spoke. “Have I seen you somewhere before?”
That was abrupt! And…kind of rude.
 “Maybe! If you let go of my wrist, I might tell you!” I shouted.
He thought for a second, then quickly released me. I rubbed my wrist where he had been gripping it and glanced up at him. He was purposefully looking at anywhere but me.
 “Do you…remember, not too long ago, when you were being peddled in a cart up a hill?” I asked.
He looked back at me. “With Takao?”
I blinked. “You do that with other guys?!” I shrieked.
 “No.” He sounded exasperated. “I meant, was I with Takao?”
 “Oh! Yea, you were. I was the girl who was very surprised to see something like that.”
I could see he was trying to remember. I guess they really do do that a lot…how weird…
 “Erm…you’re lucky item was a frog that day? Mr. Ri…” I didn’t want to say it. “…Mr. Ribbit.” I mumbled.
I felt my cheeks redden slightly. How embarrassing to say something like that…
 “Oh yea. Now I remember you.”
 “Took you long enough since you seemed to recognise me first!” I laughed.
He slid his glasses up his nose. “Sorry about that. I guess I’m just not feeling great right now…”
Because he lost the match, I presume? I wasn’t really good at cheering people up. It never really worked out well for me. Probably because I was more of a listener…but I thought I’d try anyway.
 “I thought your playing was amazing!” I said maybe a bit too loudly.
 “What?” He asked, clearly surprised by my outburst.
 “I mean…I’ve never been interested in basketball, nor have I ever been to a match. But I went today because I was asked too, and I was completely blown away by your playing. You shoot from like, half way across the court! That’s incredible!”
He looked at me for a long moment, then awkwardly scratched the side of his nose.
 “Thanks.”
I guess he wasn’t really much of a talker. I smiled slightly.
 “I might even start coming to more games since I really enjoyed seeing you play!”
…
Wait! No! Why did I say that? I tried to casually brush my hair across to cover my face so he couldn’t see me turning red…
 “I guess that wouldn’t be a bad thing…” He murmured.
When I looked up at him through my hair, I could have sworn I saw a small smile with the tiniest hint of colour on his cheeks.
He pushed his glasses up his nose again before starting to walk away.
 “Hey, I wasn’t kidding you know!” I stopped him by sticking my umbrella out. “Seriously, take it. You’ll catch a cold if you don’t cover up somehow.”
He shook his head. “I’m fine, I’ll take a bus—“
 “No you won’t!” I shoved my umbrella into his stomach forcing him to take it.
 “You’re very persistent.” He said.
 “Well sometimes you have to be!” I laughed. “Besides, if you have my umbrella…it means we have a reason to speak again!”
He eyes widened and obvious colour appeared on his face. “How annoying…”
I giggled.
 “Well, then! I’ll see you soon!” I waved and began briskly walking away.
When I was about to cross the road, he called out to me.
 “Hey!” He shouted.
I turned back to face him. “Yea?”
 “What’s your name?” He asked.
I blushed a little. “It’s Serah. Serah Maekawa.”
He walked over to me. “If you’re going to give me your umbrella, the least I can do is walk you home so you don’t get wet…Serah Maekawa.”
I blushed even more. “O-Okay! I guess that would be…okay.”
I awkwardly and slowly shuffled underneath the umbrella. Unfortunately, it was rather small so I was forced to stand right next to him. My heart started to flutter at incredible speed when my arm touched his. Again…it’s still weird since I barely know him.
I glanced up at him and he was looking straight ahead. I smiled to myself.
He was…undeniably attractive. I'd never really been close enough to him to notice, but...he was! Wow...
 “Come on.” He started to cross the road.
 “Ah! Right!” I followed up behind him trying to dispel the colour from my face.
Walking home together in the rain…kind of a romantic setting. I giggled quietly to myself.
This is the first time I’ve enjoyed being outside in the rain.

A Fateful Encounter~

Just something I felt like doing! :,3
So I watched KnB (Kuroko no Basuke) not too long ago and fell in love Midorima-kun! He's my favourite, nya! <3 so...yea! n///n

pairing; [ Shintaro Midorima x Serah Maekawa ]

~ ~ ~

 “Serah, you should come back and watch the game. Even if you don’t understand basketball it can still be fun!”
I snickered to myself. “Yes, but the only reason you want to watch the game is because Kise-kun is playing. You barely understand the rules yourself!”
I was talking on the phone with one of my friends who had gone to watch a basketball match. She’d only gone to watch Kise-kun play because she had a huge crush on him.
 “But it’d be…fun…” She trailed off.
 “Look. Even if I wanted to go back, I couldn’t. I have to buy food for tonights dinner.”
 “You’re cooking? I hope your family keeps a barf bag close.” She teased.
 “H-HEY! My cooking isn’t that bad!” I shouted over the phone causing a few passers-by to turn their heads in my direction.
 “Serah.”
 “…okay, fine! I suck! But still you don’t need to put it so bluntly!” I laughed.
 “I’m sorry!” She giggled. “Oh! I have to go now! The match is about to start!”
 “Alright. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
 “‘kay! Bye!”
She hung up.
I sighed. “Basketball, huh?”
I’d never had much of an interest in sports to begin with, but basketball was probably one of the ones I hated the most. I didn’t understand a single thing about it. And everyone in the crowd always gets so worked up…why?
But on the other hand, maybe I should have gone back. I mean, it was my school, Seirin High playing…but it was also just a practice match.
I shook my head. “Nah, it’s fine! I mean, I don’t support any of the other sport teams at my school when they go and compete.”
As I turned the corner onto the main street, I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
Making it’s way towards me was a boy in a black school uniform peddling a bike that had a cart attached to it. Even weirder…there was another boy in the same school uniform sat in the cart.
I cocked my eyebrow. “What the hell?”
As they came closer, I could hear they were having some sort of argument.
 “Damn it, we were supposed to trade at the signal. You haven’t peddled once!”
 “Of course I haven’t. Todays “Oha-Asa” horoscope predicted the greatest of days for Cancers like me.”
…horoscope? Huh?
 “What does that have to do with this? Anyway, if we’re coming all the way out here to see a practice match, your middle school teammates better be good!”
Oh! I wonder if they are on their way to see the match I’d just come from.
 “It’s the copycat and the invisible man.”
 “Are they good?”
 “Hurry up, or the game will be over.”
 “It’s your fault for reading horoscopes!”
As they were about to pass me, the boy peddling looked over at me. He must have seen my confused expression as a small laugh escaped from his mouth.
 “Don’t worry! This is…normal for us…” He panted.
I could barely manage a nod.
Him speaking obviously caught the attention of the boy sat in the cart. He turned is head towards me and in the short second our eyes met, I felt a small rush of heat appear on my face.
Startled out of my bewilderment, I finally spoke up.
 “I…didn’t really ask.”
Wait…that made no sense. That was like a delayed response to what the boy said to me.
He looked back over at me and laughed again. “I felt it was necessary to say.”
 “Takao, keep peddling. The match will be over soon.” The boy in the cart was now looking down while taking a sip of his drink.
 “You already told me that!!” Takao snapped back.
 “Then it shouldn’t take too long for you to move.” The boy in the cart retorted.
I hid a smirk at their amusing exchange.
As I was about to start walking again, I noticed a small green frog sat on the knee of the boy in the cart.
I blinked twice at the frog, then looked up at him.
He’d noticed what I’d been looking at and the tiniest, almost non-existent smile, appeared on his face. “My lucky item for the day: Mr. Ribbit.” He held the frog up.
 “M-Mr. Ribbit?!” I cried out.
 “He’s a superstitious idiot!” The boy peddling called back.
 “Okay.” Was all I could manage.
 “”A superstitious idiot?” You should know that I never miss a shot when I bring along my lucky item.”
 “Yea, yea.” The boy peddling replied.
Mr. Ribbit? I giggled. That’s definitely…unique. I’d never met someone so superstitious that they actually carried around lucky items with them.
I turned to carry on walking.
A few steps down the road, I turned my head. I wasn’t sure if what I’d just witnessed was actually real or just my bored brain conjuring up something for me to pass away time with.
As I looked back and confirmed that what I’d just seen had in fact been real, I once again made eye-contact with the boy in the cart.
What? Why was he still looking at me? He slowly pushed his glasses up his nose and moved some of his green hair out of his face before looking back down again.
I watched them peddle a little further before continuing my walk.
Is it normal for a guy you’ve just met to make you blush like that? I’d barely even spoken to him as well.
 “I wonder who that guy was…?”

Have you ever had a White Christmas?

Not technically :c

I mean, one year it had snowed so there was snow everywhere! But it's never actually snowed on Christmas ; n ; I'd love for it too, though! How magical would that be~? <3

Question 5.

Where do you usually spend your holiday?

I usually spend the holiday at my home :) our relatives come around and we all celebrate here together :3

Question 6.

Who do you spend your holidays with?

My family! :D

So that's my mum, my dad, my sister and my grandad :3

Question 7.

Do you like to stay in your pyjamas or dress up on Christmas?

It really depends on how I feel that morning :,) but I mostly wear something comfortable like leggings and a baggy jumper <3 so it is sort of like staying in my pyjamas :,>

Question 8.

What is your favourite Christmas song?

It's hard to choose just one since there are SO many, but I think one of my top favourites is..

Do They Know it's Christmas? by Band Aid <3

I think that song is very special around this time of year and it's also just got such a nice sound to it, you know~? n.n

Question 9.

Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

Nope! I like to wait until Christmas Day :3 well...if I have any presents, that is :,) I sometimes ask for things during the year that my mum will say..

 "How about we make that a Christmas present?" since my taste in gifts can be...kind of expensive.. ^u^" so she dips into her Christmas spending money for me nyihihii :,3

Question 10.

Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?

Erm...probably not..! ><"

Let's see...

Rudolf, Prancer, Dancer, Comet, Vixen, Donner and Blitzen? Is that right? Blitzen? Is that even a name? I want to check now, hang on..

*intermission music*

Oh wait! There's 8?! Hahahah!! I thought there was only 6...well, I couldn't think of anymore, anyway! But wow, I'm surprised I got them all right, though! *O*

I was missing Dasher and Cupid :,)

Question 11.

What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?

This may sound silly...but what are holiday traditions? Just things you do every year, right?

Okay...then probably decorating the Christmas tree with my mum and sister :3 then me and my sister probably doing rock, paper, scissors to decide who will put the angel on top of the tree :,) 

And also sat watching Christmas films with everyone <3 that's always something we do! ^w^

Question 12.

What is your favourite Christmas smell?

Probably the smell of the Christmas Dinner being cooked <3 

Mmm~ I can almost smell it now *u*

Question 13.

Is your Christmas tree real or fake?

Fake :,) we've never had a real one. Fake ones are much easier to decorate and don't...make a mess everywhere c,:

Question 14.

What is your all-time favourite holiday food/sweet treat?

Erm...I don't think I really have any in particular :,) 

Oh! Well while we're all waiting for the dinner to finish cooking, we have a tray of small foods and nibbles to eat so...maybe those? That's all I can really think of X,3

Question 15.

If you could only buy one present this year, who would it be for?

Hmm...probably my sister :3 because she's so hard-working and awesome and stuff! n3n

Question 16.

Be honest: do you like receiving gifts or giving gifts better?

That's a strange question since receiving gifts and giving them create two completely different feelings :,) I mean, I really do like to receive gifts because it's nice knowing someone spent time thinking about you and thinking what you'd like. But I also like doing that for someone else! I don't know...I probably like giving more :)

Question 17.

What is the best Christmas present you have ever received?

Oh wow! Erm...

*thinks for about 5 years*

Oh! Well one year, my mum brought me a plushie of Botan the little boar from the anime, CLANNAD! <333 he is probably the best...or at least one of the best presents I've ever received! :,3

Question 18.

What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?

Probably Japan! ^u^ I mean, I always want to visit Japan, but I think it would be a lot of fun to visit there for the holiday season and around New Years! Japan has such a rich culture and I'd love to experience this time of year there n3n

Question 19.

Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?

I definitely think I'm a pro-present wrapper ;D I remember I always used to watch my grandma wrap presents when I was little and she was incredible at it! So I learnt from her how to wrap presents as well as I do nyihihii~ >//<

Question 20.

What is your most memorable holiday moment?

I think the one year I got this Disney album which has literally all the Disney songs on it :3 me and my sister had it on all day and just sang along to every song <3 it was SO much fun and a really enjoyable and funny memory when I think back :,D especially when it was later on and my dad and grandad were trying to sleep x,D and we're just like..

 "THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIFEEEEEE!!!" X,D

Question 21.

What made you realise the truth about Santa?

I heard my friends talking at school about how he wasn't real :,) I went home and asked my mum about it and after that, it clicked that the tooth fairy wasn't real too :,) I remember I cried about it hahaha x,D

Question 22.

Do you have any Christmas wishes?

Not really...

Probably just that my family and friends stay healthy and have a good 2015! n.n

Question 23.

Do you make any New Years Resolutions?

It depends on if I have anything I want to do...if not, then no :,)

Question 24.

Do you stick to your New Years Resolutions?

...nope! xD but I mean, come on...who DOES?! Right? :,)

Question 25.

What makes the holiday season special for you?

Probably just spending time with my family :3 even though I do that pretty much everyday, it's nice to have an occasion to just sit and be with each other, you know? Plus the whole feel of Christmas is lovely so that's another reason why it's special for me :)

~ ~ ~

So that was my Christmas Tag! ^u^

Like I said at the start, if you also feel like doing this tag...go ahead! :D

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your family, friends or whoever it is your spend your holidays with!
