《Zero Gravity / 無重力(Gakuen Alice)》【Chapter 15】Dance? No, Ribbons.
Advertisement
"It's just that they make it really good and it only comes once a year you know...." Yue stared at the ground while she mumbled, both Natsume and Ruka having a hold on her arms on each side, even her bunny was holding her hair just in case, though from the hearts in her red eyes Yue knew Ruka enchanted her bunny.
"Natsume keep your lover on a leash." Ruka joked with a chuckle at the small scoff made from Yue's throat.
"Ruka control your best friend or the food will disappear in less than half an hour." Natsume's lip was curved upwards into that familiar smirk.
"You guys make me sound like such a glutton." Yue pouted slightly, trying to cross her arms but the gentle yet tight hold these two had on her never lessoned for a second.
"You're not?" "You're not?" They both questioned at the same time, giving her the same raised eyebrow.
"Psh of course am not. The only thing I go glutton for is mug cakes. And maybe some candy's, but that depends on what types." She explained calmly.
"Besides they made some ever since I begged when I first came here and now they save sometime hehe." She chuckled lightly, both boys exchanging a glance and slowly letting her go.
"Am going to see if they brought it out yet, be right back." Yue smiled softly and calmly walked up to the place with tiny desserts in the back with the music. On the way there, there were some elementary and middle school students who would get close to her and begin to talk, ask some things or dance, but Yue would just politely bow her head and say 'sorry but no', most other times just tune them out if they were persistent.
Shouldn't they already know from the past years....? Aigo.
When she finally made it to her heavens, there it was! There was about only three mugs with a long silver spoon in each, one chocolate, another caramel, and the other vanilla.
She put her hand on her chin, laying her elbow on her other hand in thought to which one to pick. If only her bunny was here then she would help her...sigh. Alright! The vanilla one it is! It's been awhile after all since she had some mug cakes, plus the vanilla ones.
She smiled and nodded to herself, then gently picked up the mug and thanked the teacher that was standing guard near there, the teacher bowing with some stuttering at the surprise manners.
She sat down on a nearby chair and began munching. And munching. And munching away~
Forgetting about who and where she was. It's been way too long since they met, oh mug cake how I miss you so! She was immersed so much in thoughts that she failed to notice how many more male students came to ask her to dance, all of them after some seconds or minutes finally getting that she wasn't going to answer and left pitifully.
"Am in heaven~" Yue sighed long, fully satisfied from finishing her whole mug cake even though it had only been a few minutes, it felt like years.
She calmly stood up and walked back to where she got the mug cake, putting it down and thanking the teacher once more with a small bow of her head, the teacher stuttering out with a bow of his own, still now used to such manners.
"Omo they sure are popular." Yue smiled in amusement at how Natsume and Ruka were both surrounded by middle school coogers.

"It feels like they'll be eaten." She lightly chuckled with a fist over her mouth. Her light azure eye cached on as Mikan just in the moment came close to them when one of the middle school girls stated how she heard that Ruka was going to dance with her, rather rudely, might Yue add. They spoke of other rude things and insulting the blushing Mikan in embarrassment.
Yue's eyes slightly narrowed and her thin silver bracelets crackled dangerously with small sparks of electricity. She grabbed hold of her wrists and calmly walked away to the trees near the dance, except it was dark with some light.
Yue took in and out breaths to calm her sudden small anger, even though what those coogers did were rude, she can't just murder them or use her Alice like that, especially not this one. But why is it that something else is pinching at her, like it wasn't only their rudeness towards Mikan, but also something else........augh why is finding out your feelings so hard! Yue pouted at herself and shook her head with a sigh, leaning against the tree with her knees up, her arms laying over them lazily. Hm......maybe she should ask Persona if she could take on missions again.....it does work as one hell of a stress reliever, even though Natsume may not think the same.
"Yue." She calmly raised her head, a small gentle smile covering her face immediately when she realized who it was.
"Natsume." She eye smiled, reaching at him with her arms out, grabbing him by the neck and pulling him towards her in a tight hug as his hands naturally found their way around her waist, holding her tightly.
"What happened with those coogers? Plus Ruka and Mikan." She questioned while slowly letting go, leaning her back on the tree again, Natsume leisurely making himself comfortable sitting next to her, leaning back and putting his hands in his pockets.
"I pushed Ruka towards her cause they're both slow. Coogers?" He answered her question but at the second, raised an eyebrow and turned his head to her, Yue's eyes visibly widening a bit and shifting themselves away to another distraction.
Oh damn she wasn't supposed to say that! That was supposed to be in her mind only.
"You know these days your making me feel like am naked. Can't even think anymore because whenever I talk to you it just blurts out. I feel naked." She mumbled whatever she thought at the moment, hoping to put an end to those thoughts of feeling vulnerable and at his mercy.
"Trust me, you'll know the difference of feeling naked and actually being with no clothes sooner or later." He yawned in his hand casually, quite amused with the head turn that Yue made to give him a raised eyebrow.
"Oh my god so much sexual tension and were only children!" She mumbled to herself with a shake of her head and tightened eyes. This time, he raised an eyebrow.
"I still don't know how old you are." He looked straight at her. She blinked back at him before chuckling lightly and leaning towards him.
"Just know that you're dating an older woman." His amused scoff inside his throat made her roll her eyes with a tiny smile.
"So about those coogers-"
"Augh!" Yue was about to stand up and leave, only to be held tightly by the waist of the taller fire caster that chuckled in her neck between her shoulder blade and neckline.

".....I meant those middle school girls. They kept bothering and trying to touch you...-guys." Yue blinked in realization at what she was feeling.......oh god. Oh no please don't let him notice!
She froze but calmly began to try to move away again, only to be pulled in deeper into his body, their skins now touching. When she saw that smirk of his, she sighed long and just relaxed back into his arms, knowing fully well that he noticed now.
"So you were jealous." He stated more as a knowing fact than a question.
"When are you not jealous?" Yue fired back with a light chuckle, Natsume scoffing in his throat.
"Yue is jealous for the first time ever." He stated once more in an amused tone, Yue rolling her sky blue eyes with a small smile on her features, her face a light pink from the heat residing.
"Ruka! Daskete!" Yue chibi eyed him, making Ruka sweat drop and sigh with a shake of his head and a giving up smile as he made his way to the couple, sitting right next them, Natsume now letting go of Yue while the three formed their usual triangle seating.
"Hotaru picked Mikan as her last partner." Ruka told them as the three chuckled from the new information.
"They make a fine pair too. Hey I don't judge don't give me those looks!" Yue chuckled from the raised eyebrows of both her best friends. Sure she was lovers with Natsume now but that didn't mean they weren't best friends.
"Let's go grab some food and see the dances~" She mumbled and got up, helping both of them up with her hands even though they could perfectly sit up themselves. Lazy bums. Boys.
She walked to the long food tables and her eyes gleamed. Literally. They were filled with blue sparkles as she calmly began to pick out her food, some chicken legs, the last two mug cakes, and a large chocolate donut. This is heaven!
As they were eating in the table. Ruka and Natsume with their chicken legs, and Yue with her plate of food, Ruka glanced between both of them, asking a non-worded question.
"Yes Ruka?" Yue raised an eyebrow, putting down her food and gracefully cleaning her hands.
"Aren't you both going to dance...? I mean your together now so..." He glanced between Natsume and Yue. They both shrugged. Ruka sweat dropped. Of course, he should have expected this from this kind of couple.
"I don't know how to dance that remember? Never did." She chuckled when they both nodded, "Plus I don't really believe in those kinds of superstitions if that's what you're wondering." Ruka nodded with a sheepish smile. Yue chuckled softly.
"I don't need a dance to identify if I like or not like a person." She smiled genuinely, both males' hearts thumping when they stared at her as she said those words.
Natsume glanced at Ruka with the non-audible question in his mind, "Don't let your heart thump oi! Didn't you like Polka-dots?!" Ruka blushed until his face became red, "H-How did you know if my heart thumped or not?! Plus I d-do- don't l-like Mikan-chan!" He stuttered the words even in his mind, completely flustered.
Natsume raised an eyebrow. "You blushed."
Ruka blinked in surprised but quickly composed himself since Yue was too busy finishing up her mug cakes to let a bother in the world distract her.
"You guys are having some serious eye talking right now." Both boys flinched and 'casually' turned their heads towards the amused looking Yue who had her cheek leaning against the palm of her hand, the plate completely empty by now.
"Ah!" Yue smiled and grabbed Natsume's and Ruka's hands, each in hers and began to walk towards the trees they came from. She sat them down gently and then sat down herself, her hands going behind her back and untying her light blue flower ribbon that held the waist part leaner, swiftly grabbing it and smiling at both confused boys in front of her.
"Untie both of your green ribbons that are around your collars." She eye smiled gently with a tilt of her head. Natsume and Ruka looked at each other, then looked down at their ribbons.
Ruka's was in a ribbon style while Natsume's was hung loosely but in a knot at the middle end. They slowly began to untie them, still totally confused but following since it seemed like she has something in mind.
They successfully untied the green ribbons and held them out in front with their hands, Yue smiling and grabbing them, then putting it all together in her hand as she was crouched a bit, doing something to all three ribbons. Both boys patiently waited, by now even Yue's bunny 'enchantedness' was off so she was grasping onto the shoulder of the concentrated Yue, snuggling into the familiar warmth that she missed, even sometimes hissing at the rabbit in Ruka's arms who dared to rile her up or bother her.
"There!" Yue opened her pale hands and showed both boys who leaned a bit forward to see what she did, Natsume smiled and tugged on her hair before patting her head affectionately, just as Ruka laughed and hugged her, rubbing her head with his free hand.
She made a wonderful 'flower' with a long 'green stem' and some green 'flower petals' over the small flower.
It was very creative, who knew she had it in her, they both stared in awe.
"I looked it up on google." Both boys fell down anime style at being thrown off the hook, she definitely was an expert at that. Natsume sighed while waving a hand through his hair, a bead of sweat down his cheek as he looked at his girlfriend with an amused face and a shake of his head.
Ruka face palmed while laughing at what just happened, over seconds all three chuckling in comfortableness.
"Well where do you guys want to put it? It's for memories for when were older." She smiled softly while looking down at their 'flower'.
"How about on the highest branch of a tree branch?" Ruka wondered while raising his head and looking at the tree branches.
"But then the wind will blow it away." Yue pouted slightly, shaking her head at the suggestion. Denied.
"Under ground?" Natsume suggested, glancing at both a thinking Ruka and a shaking her head Yue.
"It'll get ruined by the decomposers and circle of life." Ruka chuckled loudly at what she wanted to mean, Natsume putting a hand over his mouth hoping to keep his silent laughs to himself. Yue tuned them out as they began to laugh together and thought of on how to and where to keep it so it won't get ruined......
"We can tie it to a tree branch, then add superglue on it!" Yue smiled and turned her head around to the now calm Natsume and Ruka who raised an eyebrow at her.
"You think it will hold?" Ruka questioned while standing up after Yue told him to bring some hot super glue, Natsume obediently following after.
"Who knows? Let's see." He smiled tiny in amusement.
"We look like worms~" "Yue did you find it yet?" "Hurry up!!" Yue was at the top standing on Ruka's shoulders since she was the one that weighed the less out of them three, Ruka was under her and he was sitting on Natsume's shoulders, Natsume being the last one, him shakily holding up the weight while his arms were supporting him holding the tree.
"Found one! Don't move!" She echoed with her hand over her mouth, turning back around and leaning forward to the branch, plastering hot glue over it easily while then tying the 'flower' on the thin yet strong branch, Yue gave it a pull after a few seconds but it wouldn't come off, so it succeeds!
"Timberr~!" Yue chuckled lightly at the implying words she made, then swiftly jumped down when Ruka was already on the ground.
"So it's there huh..."
"Nm." Ruka and Yue both raised their heads to stare at the rather bright flower. Natsume was leaning against the tree, huffing silently in and out.
Yue blinked and smiled softly, walking up to the tired Natsume and cupping his face with both hands before giving him a 'thankful' passionate kiss.
"Arigato Natsume." She smiled up at him as he nodded with softened eyes. She moved back slowly and hugged the sighing long Ruka that hugged her back.
"Arigato Ruka." She moved back and smiled up at him as he chuckled and nodded. Yue raised her head and stared up at the softly flowing in the wind ribbon, Natsume and Ruka following soon after. She grabbed both of their hands and raised them upwards to the sky.
"Till death!" She eye smiled, not noticing how Natsume's and Ruka's eyes visibly widened and they sighed curtly, both face palming at what she just said with their free hands, she definitely didn't know the true meaning behind what she just sprout it out.
Ruka and Natsume exchanged a small glance, this girl would never change.
They turned their heads to the opposite direction and sighed with a small smile, Yue close mouth smiling staring up at the Memory Ribbon.

8 215STEM: The Topical Dungeon
Inspired by CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon by Ace Arriande and a spiritual successor to my writing prompt series Evolution Barricade, STEM is a series following the reincarnation of Kaden into the fantasy world of Brogdar. Reborn as a "DM" and a plant, Kaden tackles the challenges of being the agent of the chaotic god: trying to be his very own dungeon master. However, unlike other stories, Kaden is often making fun of and dealing with disadvantages that the normal reincarnated hero would never have to worry about. A parody of the normal tropes of isekai, STEM is a periodic series that is intended to release a minimum of once per week. There may be times where there is more than one drop, but those would be special occasions. Additionally, the content tags are simply to try and ensure my readers know these stories can encompass a large variety of things. They may not immediately be in focus, but they will all end up appearing!

8 203Chains
Eric Bane is one tough thug, but even he's not immortal. After a deadly ambush, he falls unconscious only to awaken in a castle preparing to meet a king. He was apparently summoned to a parallel world of fantasy to act as a hero who wields one of six Divine Weapons. However, being unfamiliar with video games, he doesn't see the new world the same way the other five do. After being framed for rape, Eric ends up hobbling out of the city with no money, no party, and draining motivation. However, if there's one thing that Samson is good at, it's spite. If the world is going to kick him to the curb, then he's going to beat the shit out of the next person he sees to get back on track. As Eric grows stronger through a natural progression, he slowly discovers the hidden history of the world and the dark secrets of the Church of the Trinity. And while some might wait for the right moment to strike, Samson isn't one for patience. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is a story that I've already gotten pretty far with, but I want to release it slowly over a few days to see what the critics say. I haven't finished it, but I've got a general idea where I want to go with it. Maturity for violence, sexual themes, and slavery. No outright sex or nudity, and there is no cruelty exhibited towards slaves. Tell me how you like it.
