the white day meme

you guys know what time it is... it's White Day, the day that you give back for the chocolate you received last month on Valentine's Day! (traditionally it's guys giving back to girls, but we don't worry about that sort of thing here c:) get all your best cookies, cakes, marshmallows and - if you're feeling traditional - white-colored accessories ready to go!

this is a free-for-all honestly, I was gonna make prompts and blanked out, so go wild instead! don't forget to list your prefs if you have any, tag your nsfw, be excellent to each other, etc. for extra funsies and/or if you need some inspiration, you can have ~Magic Chocolates~ from a really old White Day meme on bakerstreet:

1. Coconut: will cause you to do anything for attention from the first person you talk to.
2. Vanilla: initiates a traditional "I'm suddenly in love with you" scenario.
3. Truffle: causes physical attraction only. Feelings of lust.
4. Maple Nut: makes you want to stalk someone.
5. Raspberry: has you crushin' hard on a person, but you keep it a secret as much as you can!
6. Caramel: has you decide to ask someone out on a casual date. No immense feelings.
7. Mint: causes you to decide a person is your BEST FRIEND EVER. To what degree is up to you.
8. Lemon: causes HATEFUL feelings.
9. Chocolate Creme: inspires you to kiss the first person you see.
10. Too much of a good thing: you end up eating two chocolates. Roll twice to determine which two you eat. If you get #10 again, add a third chocolate, a fourth, etc. Two of the same chocolate doubles the intensity.

[He's have to bake some if that day came. It felt weird to be cooking for a god, but Touma knew how bizarre his life could get sometimes.]

Huh... That explains why you've got such a mature aura. You learned how to be self-succinct at an early age. Gotta say that you've got the makings to become a great housewife someday! [A beat.] Houjou, though... Well, I can't help and feel a bit worried about her. Has she always been pulling pranks like a troublemaker?

Well, that's part of it...

[But there's another part as well. One that she doesn't speak upon.]

She'd be really mad at you if you called it pranks in front of her face. They're 'traps', after all. But -- not always.

Are you saying that these 'traps' of hers have a different meaning other than raising tension?

[He personally didn't have a bad opinion on Satoko. She came off as a bit wild, but he couldn't say that he disliked her. Touma pauses for a moment.]

I guess if Houjou is going to be tagging along with us, then I'd like to understand her a bit more. I don't know how big her social circle is compared to yours, but I'd definitely wanna lend her a hand if she needs one.

That's right. Traps are... well, they're Satoko's way of communicating with people. But I'd be happy. If you wanted to help her make more friends.

So she's like a tsundere type? Kamijou-san will admit that she gives off some biri biri vibes, but I think I can handle it.

[And if it's a request from Rika herself, Touma really couldn't say no. Speaking of which...]

Uhh... This might be a bit forward, but would it be okay if I rested my head in your lap?

Something of the sort.

[Although she blinks confused at his latter statements.]

I don't mind, but are you really that tired that you need someone to lie on?

Ehehe... Well, it's been a long day and I went a ways to look for ya.

[He couldn't help and give her a sheepish smile. Then he claps his hands together and bows his head.]

So pardon my selfishness, Rika-sama! I just want to be soothed in your healing rays for a bit!

Geez... that's a bit much, isn't it...?

I... Is Kamijou-san coming off a little too strongly?!

A little. But I don't mind too much.

S-Such goddess-like forgiveness!

[Touma definitely had a habit of making small hang-ups into bigger issues than they really were, but she was giving him the opportunity! He has to take a breath before he decides to carefully crawl over and gingerly rest his head in Rika's lap.]

Uh, uh... This is comfortable, right? I've never done this with a girl before.

I'm not really forgiving you for anything, though... and it's fine. Although if someone else shows up you'll have to get off.

Hehehe... Only a meteor can stop this now! I think we'll be fine.

[Touma was definitely getting comfortable as he lets out a very relaxed sigh.]

Then I guess I should talk a little more about myself, huh? I don't think it's going to be as interesting as being worshipped as the reincarnation of a god, but I definitely know how it feels to be on the wrong end of popularity polls.

The wrong end of popularity polls...? What do you mean?

It's the opposite of yours, really. Back in the day, I was revered as a god of pestilence because every time I came into contact with people... They'd experience some kind of misfortune. My existence itself was treated as some kind of abomination.

Whenever I was younger, it got so nasty that I was nearly stabbed by someone who lost their business. They blamed me for everything wrong that happened to them. It sounds pretty absurd, but there's definitely a grain of truth here. I'm a pretty unlucky guy to be around.

[Despite his words and how grim everything sounds... Touma's voice doesn't hold any contempt or malice. In fact, he's talking as if it was someone else's experience than his own personal one.]

That is pretty crazy... but don't worry. You haven't shown any unluckiness to me yet.

Not only that, but... I was also born with a mysterious power. Actually, I'm still not sure if I can even call it a power.

[Touma delicately lifts his right hand in front of Rika's face. From anyone's perspective, it's as normal as it can be.]

This right hand of mine can negate the supernatural. It's something that's called the Imagine Breaker. Whether it's a curse or a miracle, my right hand can return it all to zero. I don't know if your village has heard of anything like that... But it's existed for a very long time.

"Negate the supernatural"... does that include if something has something supernatural done to them, even if it was a good thing?

Hmm... There's definitely limits to what can and can't be negated from what I've learned from experience. It's not an absolute rule.

Plus I've encountered beings and abilities that surpass my right hand's power and can't be negated at all. Here's an example... If you believe that everyone carries lifeforce within them as a supernatural thing, then Imagine Breaker would technically be able to erase that and kill people. But Kamijou-san has shaken hands with others just fine and nothing happens to them.

I see.

Well... I suppose that's a good thing, then.

Really? You're not afraid of my right hand at all? Some people would call it a curse.

If it won't kill me, then do I have reason to be?

H~eh... The worst thing that this hand can do is pinch your nose.

[In which he's going to demonstrate by reaching out to teasingly grab Rika's nose between his fingertips.]

Hey-- [Rika scrunches up her nose, frowning deeply.] That's definitely not the worst thing you could do, but I'm grateful for it.

I'm sorry, princess! I couldn't resist doing that. [He'll be holding up the box of chocolates.] Please accept another one of these chocolates as my humble apology.
