» midnight indulgences

fandom: oblivion battery (boukyaku battery)

pairing: chihaya shunpei/todo aoi

word count: ~4.9k

rating: general, no archive warnings apply

tags: future fic, living together, domestic fluff, fluff & humor, dessert & sweets

summary:

In baggy gray sweatpants and a baseball henley he’d stolen from Todo at some point, Chihaya looks sleep-rumpled and comfortable. His messy hair is strewn over his forehead, soft and loose compared to how he usually styles it. Fur-lined house slippers protect his feet from the cold kitchen tile. Oh, and there’s something smeared by the side of his lips. “Are you… eating?” Todo asks, stepping closer. “You’re letting all the warm air into the fridge,” he complains mildly, trying to peer into it once he’s close enough. “So what if I am?” Chihaya says, closing the fridge door with a thump before Todo can get a good look. “I got hungry.” Todo frowns. “It’s three in the morning.”

► wip wednesday

I NEARLY FORGOT I DRAFTED THIS. for my first wip wednesday, have something completely out of character for me: a snippet of what is technically a harukei fic LOL

i've barely actually worked on this in like two weeks bc i try to give myself that long of a rest period every time i finish and post a fic but it's been a bit longer than that now so i'm thinking again... i have another wip that i'm hoping to commit to and finish for valentine's day but if i'm lucky i might be able to fit this harukei in this month

so anyways, it features both the commander and kei-chan versions, and the rest of the boys learning about a certain little secret 🤫

Kiyomine, already changed into his practice clothes, holds up three paper bags with three different names scrawled on them, offering them to the teammates standing in front of him. Todo and Chihaya visibly perk up, and Yamada notes that their reflexes have gotten even faster, snatching the AVs out of Kiyomine’s hands in the space of a blink. Kaname, however, doesn’t make a move. “Haruka,” Kaname says in that gently disapproving tone he sometimes uses with Kiyomine, like he’s explaining something to a child. “You know how I feel about these things.” Kiyomine nods like he’d expected that answer and tucks the remaining brown paper bag back into his bag without protest. “Oh?” Todo rests an arm on Kaname’s shoulder, leering at him and waving his own bag in his face. It seems that even he’s overcome the initial distance he kept with the Commander. “You’re not interested in AVs anymore, Kaname?” Chihaya adjusts his glasses, holding his bag against his chest. “I suppose that makes sense. The Commander version doesn’t have time for anything but baseball.” “Well, it’s true that I don’t have time,” Kaname says thoughtfully. “But it’s not exactly that I’m uninterested.”

♡ thirsty thursday

hi i'm going to Attempt to use this blog like a real writing blog and not just completed fic posts to see if it... motivates me more somehow. we'll see!

i was all prepared to post a wip wednesday and then i discovered it was thursday... but i can work with that because one of my goals this year is to write some more smut and so i decided thirsty thursdays can be a thing and they can exclusively be wips of my nsfw works LOL

and y'know what this is also going to be an exercise in unlearning shame bc i usually never want to post snippets of nsfw to be perceived until it's done but hey. whatever. we'll see if i keep this up

i'm gonna start off with a tame part though 😆 of the todochi bathroom sex fic i've been wanting to write since september ooops and finally started recently

If you’d told Chihaya a few months ago that he’d willingly expose himself in a public restroom while ditching gym class for the sake of squeezing in a quick fuck while no one’s around, he would’ve called you a voyeuristic pervert who’s lost touch with reality. But as it turns out, the reality is that Chihaya is an exhibitionistic pervert. This isn’t even happening on an impulsive whim — He’d already prepared in advance so that they could do this without wasting any precious time and risking getting caught. Still, the potential of it makes his heart pound.

fandom: oblivion battery (boukyaku battery)

pairing: chihaya shunpei/makita hironobu

word count: ~5.7k

rating: general, no archive warnings apply

tags: canon compliant, middle school, sick character, vomiting, angst, hurt no comfort

summary:

He stomps into the room, looking down the line of stalls. Makita catches sight of a shadow under a door that’s been pulled shut without the lock turned to ‘occupied’. Without hesitating, he clamps his hand around the edge of the door and swings it open to see— Chihaya, kneeling on the tile floor in front of the toilet, staring back at him with his eyes wide open and his jaw slack. That Chihaya, who always tells him off for chewing with his mouth open or for getting dirt on him when Makita slings an arm over his shoulders, leaning his arms against the rim of the seat, clutching the edge with his bare hands. They’re white at the knuckles.

pairing: kaname kei/todo aoi

word count: ~5.5k

rating: general, no archive warnings apply

tags: canon compliant, ear piercings, fluff and humor, angst if you squint, developing relationship, pre-relationship

summary:

They’re in the bathroom at Kaname’s house, the countertop cleared up to make room for the supplies, and Kaname’s sitting on a stool, waiting to get his ears pierced. “Still,” Todo says, drying his hands on a clean towel. “I’m surprised a baby like you would want to do something like this.” “Who’re you calling a baby?!”

inspired by the bouba server, to which i sent a cute fanart of kei and someone said they wanted to take him to claire's 🥰

» something blooming, it's consuming

series: oblivion battery (boukyaku battery)

pairing: chihaya shunpei/todo aoi

word count: ~19.9k

rating: mature, no archive warnings apply

tags: vampires, canon compliant, biting, blood drinking, sexual tension, kissing, intimacy, banter, light angst, self-worth issues, character study

summary:

“Are those fangs?” Without thinking, Todo reaches for Chihaya’s face and uses his thumbs to push up his lip and get at his canines. Chihaya makes a sound of protest that Todo barely hears, but he doesn’t dodge or slip out of his grip. He’s expecting some sort of plastic prop, or maybe something a little fancier considering nothing looked off from a distance other than their length, but all he sees are natural pink gums and white teeth. The fangs extend from a little higher up than where he’d expect Chihaya’s canines to be. The fleshy pad of his thumb turns pale when he presses it against one unnaturally long, smooth tooth. It’s solid and doesn’t budge against the pressure he puts on it. He slides along the length of it before finding the point, and just as Todo thinks it’s sharp, he feels a pinprick in his skin. “Hodo-un,” Chihaya slurs his name around his fingers, glaring at him with pink cheeks.

Or, in which Todo finds out Chihaya is a vampire and offers to be his next meal.

» pretend it's the same

series: oblivion battery (boukyaku battery)

pairing: chihaya shunpei/makita hironobu, chihaya shunpei/todo aoi

word count: ~12,000

rating: teen+, no archive warnings apply

tags: alternate universe - canon divergence, alternate universe - college/university, long-distance relationship, established relationship, roommates, unrequited love, drinking, self-hatred, self-destruction, cheating, guilt, hurt no comfort, ambiguous/open ending, character study

summary:

Chihaya has always been weak to his wants. It isn’t enough to just hear Todo or see him over a blurry, pixelated video call, even if it’s every day. He wants to feel Todo’s hair between his fingers and poke fun at him for bleaching it to a crisp. He wants to feel Todo’s body, made strong through dedicated training. He wants more than to have to make do with imagining these things when he lays in bed at night by himself, trying to fall asleep without Todo’s warmth pressed against him. He just wants. He picks up the bottle and pours a stream of crystal clear liquid into the tiny glass he’d found somewhere in the back of a cabinet, crinkling his nose as the sharp, sweet smell hits him. It’s even stronger on his tongue.

i forgot to post this on here! a fic i wrote to torture chihaya <3

» the remains of my wasted youth

series: oblivion battery (boukyaku battery)

pairing: chihaya shunpei/todo aoi

word count: ~13,800

rating: teen+, no archive warnings apply

tags: alternate universe - middle school, alternate universe - canon divergence, alternate universe - different first meeting, chance meetings, light angst, blood and injury, non-graphic violence, hurt/comfort, developing relationship, happy ending

summary:

“Hello?” Something nudges him, a pressure he feels through the sole of his sneaker. “Hey, are you alive?” Todo cracks an eye open—the other one must be swollen and crusted over with blood, because it doesn’t budge. There’s a dark blob looming in front of him, blocking out the setting sun, and Todo blinks until he can see more clearly. A boy in a middle school gakuran slowly comes into view, with short cropped red hair and rectangular glasses, looking down at him warily. He shifts when Todo’s gaze finally focuses on him, but he doesn’t shrink away like most people do. He’s probably around Todo’s age. Maybe younger. “Oh, good,” he says lightly. “I thought I’d need to call the police.”

a belated offering for todo's birthday <3

series: oblivion battery

pairing: chihaya shunpei/makita hironobu

word count: 3,820

rating: gen, no archive warnings apply

tags: missing scene, confrontations, self-reflection, making up, possibly pre-slash

summary:

Some of the guilt lingers. In the end, leaving that match with their first victory, he still couldn’t turn back to look at the one he’d slighted. If Kiyomine and Kaname were two faces he wished he’d never have to see again, Makita was another. It wasn’t that he’d done anything to Chihaya. In fact, it was the opposite. He hasn’t made up for dismissing Makita’s efforts yet. That chance will come when they play in the summer tournament—is what Chihaya finds himself hoping. He knows the second year Kirishima is their starting pitcher, but he also knows that Makita wouldn’t just accept that. He’d challenged them, after all. I won’t lose next time, he’d said. Chihaya just wasn’t expecting to hear from him again until they faced off in the tournament.

series: tokyo revengers

pairing: haitani rindou/madarame shion

word count: 4,615

rating: teen+, no archive warnings apply

tags: genderbending, alternate universe - college/university, established relationship, clubbing, drinking, flirting, vomiting, fluff

summary:

Under purple lights, booze running through her veins, tank top rising to show off black ink across her stomach, Rindou is fucking captivating. Shion can’t get enough of this, even more than the music or the alcohol—she’s addicted. She can’t tell the bass from the beat of her heart in the middle of all the noise, but it doesn’t matter. As long as Rindou’s attention is on her, latched to her side in a mass of sweaty bodies, that’s all Shion needs.

written for day 6 of tokyo revengers rarepair week for the prompt "genderbend"!

series: tokyo revengers

pairing: hanma shuji/matsuno chifuyu

word count: 11.5k

rating: explicit, no archive warnings apply

tags: unrequited crushes (not on each other), drinking to cope, drinking games, banter, bars and pubs, drunkenness, smoking, making out, mildly dubious consent, hand jobs, drunk sex, implied sexual content, questionable life choices, one night stands, morning after

summary:

As the bartender approaches, Chifuyu starts to ask for another beer when he gets interrupted by a neon blue cocktail sliding onto the counter in front of him. “Uh, I didn’t—” “From the guy sitting down at the other end. Said it looked like you needed a pick-me-up.” “Huh?” Chifuyu says, looking where the bartender points, almost giving into a glimmer of hope that he’s somehow found himself in a romcom and some beautiful, kind man has appeared to flirt with him and make him forget all about his heartbreak. Instead, he sees Hanma fucking Shuji.

written for day 4 of tokyo revengers rarepair week for the prompts "exes/break ups" and "hate sex", both interpreted very... very... loosely

» eyes on the prize

series: oblivion battery (boukyaku battery)

pairing: chihaya shunpei/todo aoi

word count: 4,748

rating: teen+, no archive warnings apply

tags: staring, mutual pining, flirting, banter, first kiss, kissing

summary:

Chihaya rationalizes it for some time. After all, they’re all helping each other become a semi-functional baseball team. Of course they have to spend time together and look at each other. On top of that, he wouldn’t expect Todo to just ignore him when they sit next to each other in class. Todo is friendly and personable. There’s no deeper meaning to how often Chihaya catches his gaze. If there was, Todo would be better at hiding it, wouldn’t he?

or, chihaya keeps catching todo looking at him, and he just wants to know what it means.

tags: Tenjiku Arc (Tokyo Revengers), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Blood and Injury, Kisaki Lives, In Which Kisaki Tetta Turns Into A Cat, In Which Takemichi Is Losing It, Fluff and Angst

summary:

He sees a cat. A cat with the same shade of fur as Kisaki’s hair, blood marring half of its face and limbs twisted unnaturally. The conclusion Takemichi jumps to makes him certain that all this time leaping has finally driven him insane. There is no way Kisaki turned into a cat. Absolutely not. “Kisaki?” he asks anyway, feeling like an idiot. The cat blinks an eye open, the one not crusted over in blood. Steely blue-grey comes into view clouded over in what must be pain. It meows weakly, gaze latching onto Takemichi in what he can only call recognition.
