COLLAR X MALICE
THEME: RED ANEMONE
 AIJI YANAGI { Protect } by Bernie I really wanted to emphasize Yanagi's protective nature so hopefully I accomplished that! |  KEI OKAZAKI { Hope and Peace } by shimorin I have a lot of love for Okazaki and his route and I hope that I was able to convey it in this piece! His route really hit close to home at times, so I was very happy that I was able to draw him- I'm really glad I was able to contribute to this project, and I hope I can draw for it again! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ |  MINEO ENOMOTO { Red Anemone } By Yuokun I'm really happy I get to draw Mineo for this! I love him very much and I enjoy drawing him a lot. I hope my piece can show how much I love Mineo! ☆彡 |  TAKERU SASAZUKA { Red and Rainy } by GlassesAreAGift Being for a host for this project, I'm really pumped!! I love Takeru and Ichika so much and their dynamics together, and Takeru really melted my heart (and wallet) I hope my love for him shows through! |

 KAGEYUKI SHIRAISHI { Beloved Anemone } by Mikka (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡ I love Shiraishi, he's so precious. I wanted to show the two sides of the anemone flower, with Ichika as the "hope and faith", and Shiraishi as the "death and abandonment". |  YUZURU SAEKI { Wilting Anemone } by Rina “Let’s have a passionate discussion about justice over drinks again.” |
AIJI YANAGI
Yanagi Aiji has never believed that he was destined for good.
---
A selfish part of him wants to cherish the little that they have. Another insists nothing of it, persisting the notion that Adonis has more terrible plans for both of them. Perhaps this is why his heart lurches and burns. Hoshino’s determination and strong sense of justice pushes him ever so slightly, he is drawn to the idea that he wants to support her. He will try to do so as much as fate wills him to.
KEI OKAZAKI
Hazardous Hope by Hyper
A crisp breeze blew though the night, a full moon illuminating the world below. Flowers swayed gently, creating a scene of peaceful bliss. The soothing effects had no affect on a passerby, yet he still found himself drawn to the scene. From the corner of his eye he had noticed a peculiar shape and was able to recognize the foreign object. The man, known as Kei Okazaki, let out a soft chuckle as he approached the circular device, commenting on how he thought he’d never see it again.
MINEO ENOMOTO
If he is to fall in the great battle against those that threaten Shinjuku, would she hold him in her arms? Would her tears release as the last of his warmth leaves him, staining the white of her shirt? Would flowers, dyed by pain, grow a bed around them?
W-Wait..!
A tragedy like that is not befitting of him, a romantic whose hopes carry his interests far and wide. No, his story shouldn’t be so heavy; he wants one written like the ones in his books, moving channels for history to spread forever and forever as the tale of two equal warriors taking on the battlefields of love and danger.
TAKERU SASAZUKA
Homebaked by Mel
Knowing that Takeru was probably feeding himself poorly when she overstayed her shifts at work, she deemed that she still had enough energy to prepare a meal as well as dessert as surprise to him. Shifting through her mental cookbook, she picked up ingredients according to what she can remember to fit to his liking, and happily carried herself to his apartment humming a tune or two along the way.
Meal preparation seems to pass along within minutes, it was always so fun, though so fast. But now, the part that she’d been especially excited was approaching… baking. This is where twice the fun rooted itself for Ichika.
She pulled all the tools needed, preheated the oven, rolled up her sleeves. She’s going to do her best!
KAGEYUKI SHIRAISHI
Promise of a Red Anemone by Ali
‘Red Anemones, a rare flower to be seen here in the heart of Shinjuku.’ Shiraishi stands in place as he wonders what this flower symbolizes.
"Ah…death and abandonment…” Shiraishi speaks to himself while staring at the red anemone flower in his hand.
‘Hm, perhaps these flowers symbolize my life. Just like me, these flowers only seem to bring death and abandonment. It’s their only purpose in life’
YUZURU SAEKI
Together by Alex
I wanted to see you.
That's all.

"Hoshino." His voice was gentle, smile she's grown to know so well set across his face. Familiar, emitting the feeling of faith, hope, bonds, yearning, affection.
She was crying, as silly as it was for a situation like this. She knew she shouldn't, she should know better than to cry over something like this, but Saeki didn't mind. He understood, wiping away the stray tears from her cheek, warm touch from his thumb tingling on her skin.
