    Summary

    "Ex-fiance."

    Mizu swallows the rest of the smoke down her throat. Doesn’t even flinch when Akemi reaches for her coat pocket to steal a Marlboro Ice from the packet and slips it between her fingers, holding it out for her to light like the prim-and-proper Princess that she is. She lights it for her, listening to her stifle a cough between a long dragged breath. She’d only started smoking when Mizu came around, after all. Bad influence, she could hear Seki’s comment in her head, if only she’d cared that much.

    Who the fuck is she kidding.

    She doesn’t know the first thing about love. She doesn’t think Akemi is any better off, either.

     

    or: the wanting, the brawling, and the having of japan's worst throuple.

    Summary

    Akemi’s teeth hit her jaw this time, and Mizu reflexively dropped her wrists, now gripping two handfuls of her hair. “Listen. Listen to me!” She wasn’t listening.

    Summary

    The first time Akemi sees Mizu—glimpsed between panes of lacquered palanquin wood, as her gaze turned inevitably to the only person not kneeling, to that man, awkward and gangly and stiff, standing when everyone else bowed, with those eyes nearly hidden by an unflattering broad hat and ridiculous orange spectacles—the first time she sees her, she hates her.

    Their eyes meet. There's snow falling outside, dusting the offensively broad hat's rim. They pass. Akemi's heart skips in tiny outrage.

    ×

    The first time Mizu sees Akemi, it's on that bridge in Kyoto, prim and pretty and painted as a portrait, and she thinks that the fine, decorative gold things in her hair look difficult to make. The kind of difficult to make that tells of someone else's hard work and a thousand, thousand kitchen knives.

    The princess is beautiful, she thinks.

     

    或 / or:

    Mizu steps (staggers) in when Akemi's father sends men to bring her back, in the aftermath of the brothel bloodbath. It's only the newest in a line of questionable choices, because it seems that as of late, for whatever reason, she can't stop accidentally collecting people.
