One of my friends asked me for relationship advice recently and something crossed my mind as we were talking (which led to me not being able to stop thinking about it).

Do you guys date here?

No, let me explain that.

How do you handle relationships here? Is it easier or harder to maintain it with these moonblessings coming up to interfere?

And I mean PROPER relationship. Those that have all types of feelings involved and stuff.

Sure you can lock yourself up in a room to try and not do anything stupid, but does that help?

It was only that one time and that was like, my first moon so I didn't see it coming. I'm in control of it. Besides, if I wanted to come after you I could do it whether you reinforced it or not, you'd let me right through the front door. I'm not going to so don't waste your money. I'm almost a whole year crime-free.

[ Almost a year!! That's a lot! Well like except she steals food off of peoples' plates but that's not a real crime... Yeah, she doesn't know if he's joking or not either, but since she's serious she decides to answer seriously. Don't go waste your chroma, Kise, she's not harmless by any means but she's not going to hurt you!! ]

We did when we talked about emergencies, like if someone was injured and needed chroma ASAP. All three of us get jealous so there's no way that conversation was going to go well...

Oh now that you mention it
How do you control it? Or does someone else help you control it?
The random urges I mean. Since you're sanguis, I could use a tip or two D:

[Yeah, the crime-free thing doesn't really help the case! He's still mildly terrified and worried. But- he won't move. He should get something to defend himself though- in general. Maybe work on that magic stuff sanguis grants him...

Figures Akashi would be the jealous type.]

So how did you guys handle it? What happened?

[He's prying too much, isn't he?]

[unhappy]

There are a lot of ways. Best I've found is to tire yourself out first thing in the morning. Get up, do training or running or whatever else first thing. Even with super strength, it doesn't help any if you're exhausted. There's a guy who has like.. sedatives you can take somewhere too if it's really bad. Sticking close to someone who likes you enough to accept if you get aggressive with them it's going to be sexually aggressive rather than bloodlust helps...

[ The answer to their handling of it though? Pretty poorly. They argued. Akashi shut down. Emerald stormed out. Mayuzumi cleaned up the mess. Eventually Emerald came back once she'd calmed down, but she's well aware enough of her anger issues to leave at this point. She would never hurt Akashi or Mayuzumi and knows when to step out, even if she's still certain that Akashi at least doesn't understand it when she does so it makes things harder. Their relationship isn't perfect by any means, but they work through it and always come back to talk about it. She doesn't share any of this. ]

Sei will get mad if I give too many details since it's pretty private, but lots of arguing until things are figured out.

That makes sense. Not that I feel especially energetic or violent during sanguis but it's good to know. And noooo no meds for me. I'd rather have someone knock me out instead.

[He doesn't comment on the last part though because, well, he doesn't really have anyone like that.]

Don't worry I wasn't asking for specifics, I was just interested in how you handled it. Akashicchi used to have a bit of a temper even though he looks calm and collected all the time.

[He doesn't know her or Mayuzumi, but Akashi can be a handful.]

[unhappy]

Yeah. Sei didn't want me to go that route either. I think just if it's really bad, not all the time. It varies, you know?

[ In her case, she's never quite sure just how aggressive it's going to make her. Sometimes it's easy, other times.. other times she thinks it just feeds off of her natural issues. ]

Yeah.. but because of that, it's best not to share, you know. I don't want to gossip about that.

[ Sei will flat-out shut her out sometimes and she's had to leave it to Chihiro to help them figure it out from there... but she doesn't think it's right to talk about that. ]

[dvine]

Okay, fair enough.

I'll see if I can figure out something by myself then.

[He's not going to push it if she doesn't want to say it; not his business in the end.]

[unhappy]

Good luck!
