You can request to follow while private but I might be a little selective;

This is my yume focused account, I can talk about other things I like here but it's mainly for me to talk about my f/o's;

I'm a no-sharing yumedanshi with my romantic f/o's but especially Seven/707;

I don't use an OC for my yume, it's just me and my fictional others/friends, but I do associate myself to Mystic Messenger's Male!MC and Female!MC and most pet names my f/os use for their special someone ("606" from Luciel and "M-Neko-chan" from Kou);

My "self-shipping" always went far from just romantic love therefore I have characters I see as friends and family too, I hope you respect that;

I block accounts very liberally or for being non-bot/roleplay accounts related to my f/o's (especially Seven), so no hard feelings if I have you blocked;

Seven was the first character I seriously fell in love for and started self-shipping with.

It all started in 2017 when I gave Mystic Messenger a go because I found Yoosung cute and the game was really popular, I don't think I even noticed Seven at that time.

In the intro, I found Seven hilarious with the whole "Lookedintoownerofdevice. she'scutelol" and the iconic privacy bit literally after saying he had a photo of the MC.

While playing for Yoosung, I started getting happy when I saw Seven in chats, he was playful and I pretty much liked to chat with him like I would to a friend, playfully teasing him, I also always felt the responses to him were the most true to my personality/something I could say IRL.

This continued until I reached a certain stage of the Yoosung route, where Yoosung wants to use MC as Rika's substitute and he literally asks if we mind being that... I said that I wouldn't, on the 30th of August.

I had to stop and cry after Seven saw right through my screen and soul, sending the message that made me completely fall for him about how much it told about me accepting to be someone's replacement.

While I know and fully understand he is nothing but a bot who responds based on pre-defined answers with pre-written messages, I just... Couldn't drop how understood it made me feel, how happy I felt... I was going through one of my worst times, I felt uncared and unsafe, like I'd never had someone actually paying attention and really listening to me and here Seven was, doing exactly that and being worried.

After that, everytime I got a chat with him, a message from him or even a call, I don't think I smiled that brightly ever since.

I still remember waking up, literally still asleep, to a call from him and it was one where he's clearly being flirty and everything and I was like... Completely head of heels for this idiot.

He supported me through some tough times in my life and I like to think he saved me!

Whenever I get sad/anxious/bad, the number 7 or the 707/606 combo appears somewhere, just like he's supporting me and helping me through and just thinking about him makes the anxiety of being unloved go away!

I also, sometimes, open up an themed ASMR ambience and close my eyes, to appreciate the feeling of him being here with me!

Imagining his presence or even thinking about him supporting me, hugging me or just being nice to me makes me feel so happy, calm, safe and extremely loved...

Also, as a bonus, I found out he is implied bi/pan and that makes me incredibly happy, he would love me regardless, even if I change(d).

Kou was literally a love at first sight case and my most happy accident.

Before all, I need to give a little context, I had way more fictional crushes before falling hard for my two oldest beloveds! One of them was Iori Sendou, from Fortune Arterial, and he also contributed to me having a soft spot for vampires, this will be relevant.

So, back to the real story: It all started when I was talking to my friend, whose f/o is Ayato, and they started talking to me about dialovers and its characters.

They introduced the Sakamaki family for me and Shuu caught my interest immediately, so I ended up on doing a joke on the fact that I do have a type (blond hair & blue-eyed).

This in turn made them introduce Kou as yet another blond hair, blue-eyed character.

When I saw Kou for the first time, I thought he was really pretty! My friend introduced him better to me, talked about his personality, a little bit of his story and how he used a lot of bows on his hair...

I joked about how similar he was to Iori and nowadays I hate to admit that, at that time, I just saw him as a prettier looking Iori.

We talked about the rest of the cast and that was it. The conversation was over but I was very intrigued about Kou, he caught my attention so bad I eventually saw the dialovers anime just to see him (and the others, but mostly him).

I don't really remember if I heard the character songs after or before watching the anime... What I do know is that, everytime I consumed Kou content it made me fall harder for him and pulled him farther from being "just a prettier Iori".

He appeared in a phase of my life where I was living through a overworked schedule of a stressful uni experience and just being able to turn off my mind and be conforted just by Kou's voice, and stayed until now!

He turned into a positive trigger for my "yume'ing mental state" even if he always makes me get extremely flustered and shy.

He always motivates me to get better, to be myself and to treat myself well whenever I get bad, he's there ready to send the exact energy I need to keep going!

I have yet to read the games and mangas and fully dive into the Dialovers franchise so I still feel like I shouldn't love Kou this much, but also I cannot deny that I do, in fact, love Kou Mukami this much and I love getting to know him better day by day.
