I, too, dream of being kabe-don'd

Kabe-don (壁ドン)

Kabe-don is a romantic trope seen in various shoujo anime and manga. Kabe means “wall” and don is a Japanese onomatopoeia for the thud of hitting a wall. Usually, this is where a tough (sometimes tsundere) character backs another character against the wall, resulting the latter pounding the wall with their fist with one or both arms. It invokes a cool feeling, making the one being pinned against the wall go all doki-doki like this girl here-- EXTREME KABE-DON!!!

R U L E S:
1. Tag your character with their name and series on the subject line.
2. Tag other people!
3. Indicate which role your character is going to play (the one being pinned against the wall or the one doing the pinning XD)
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

[OKAY also I forgot to ask this earlier, but do you want to assume the geisha scene happened or not?]

[I'D LIKE THAT. But only if it's okay with you.]

[GOT IT. Hope this works! I was a little stuck on Chizuru's task (or is it), so I keep it open.]

[Another quiet day, another day where Shiranui watched the activities of the Choshu from the shadows. He have no interests in what they're planning to do this time, so he had silently slipped away to see what's new around the streets. His appearance might be eye catching on a normal day, but Shiranui knew how to keep his presence low and discreet.

He watched the streets and the people walking along it, seeing nothing much out of the ordinary. How mundane and boring, he should have find something more exciting to watch...]

Oh?

[Well, well, did he spy a familiar looking female demon? He recognised her presence first before he can actually see her. Is she on an errand, perhaps?

Driven by both curiosity and, largely, boredom, Shiranui decided to follow her. Let's see where she goes... If she went anywhere near the Shinsengumi's headquarters, he guess he can stop at that point.]

I'm so sorry for the delay! Work has been crazy and I kinda lost the notif?? I'M SORRY D8

[Sometimes she couldn't help but marvel at how brilliant the days still seemed despite the growing storm shaking the country. Whatever horrors plagued the streets of Kyoto during the nights, people still went on about their lives, peacefully living out their days without a single care beyond the mundane, everyday kind.

It made her a little bit jealous, at times. But it was this everyday happiness what the Shinsengumi so tenaciously tried to protect, this daylight-spell that they worked tirelessly to preserve, and so more often than not, her jealousy melted quickly under the warmth of such responsibility.

Because she may not be of the Shinsengumi, but she still wants to fight with them.

It is with these thoughts that she walks through the streets and into a little shop, doing for once the tasks a supposed page should do. It is a refreshing change of pace from being locked away or out in patrols, not so different to the little jobs her father used to make her do once upon a time in Tokyo, and the similarity is enough to warm her without hurting herself with memories of a time that now seems so very far away.

Stepping out with a parcel firmly held against her chest, she stops a moment to look at the clear blue sky, oblivious to the presence following her, and smile.

It truly is a beautiful day.]
