rin + carmine

alright let's do it! minors and ageless blogs dni.

event closed!

—

the net swishes.

there's a pause, a moment where the only thing rin can hear is the beating of his own heart. it races, matching with his heaving chest, but then it's drowned out by the sweeping tide of the crowd's roar.

"and that's the game!" the announcer screams, but rin couldn't care less about that. his turquoise gaze sweeps over the debris he's left in his wake, the other players on their knees, shipwrecked. they're in splinters, crushed by his appetite for destruction.

he wishes it was satisfying.

but they'd been lukewarm, even when he brought out their best. he clenches his hands into fists. he starts to bare his teeth, but then a voice reaches him.

your voice.

he glances towards the sidelines. you must have hopped the stands again, despite the risk it poses. security's gotten to the point where they just let it happen.

"rin!" you yell. "great goal!"

his chest goes tight, like there's thread wound around his ribs. it aches, cutting through his very bones. it spreads to his throat, mold on overripe fruit. he clears his throat, but the feeling remains.

he opens his mouth, but he doesn't have time to say anything.

(what he would say, he doesn't know. you rob him of many things; words are the least of it.)

you yelp as you're swept up in isagi's arms; he spins you around before letting you back down on the ground.

that thread constricts, carving through him. his throat itches; his lungs are burning.

you laugh, slinging your arms around your boyfriend's shoulders. "your goals were good too," you tell him, before you lean in for a kiss.

the pain sears through rin; he coughs into his hand, wet and sticky.

he winces.

there's a single carmine petal lying crumpled in his palm.

"a moment more, my dear. don't make me face the day just yet."

"you're getting good at making me late, jing yuan. the ambassador might ban me from spending nights with you if you keep me much longer."

"let her try."

"i'll be sure to inform madame fu that the divine foresight would let diplomacy fail with such a significant ally, then."

"in a heartbeat, if it would grant me another hour in your presence."

soulmate au where you're on a team of scientists who map out potential natural disasters based on soulmate dialogue (cross-referencing concerning marks to try and see if you can predict anything) and you predict the apocalypse is coming in about a week and go to get drunk and meet your soulmate at the bar

The tags on that childhood friend with oliver drabble? Perfection!

I can totally see Isagi saying something along the lines of “see if there are still feelings there” and there’s an unsaid part of “if there is I’ll let you go” but I also think his ego he gained in blue lock would also be saying something along the lines of “they’ll return to me. why worry” and it’s all just so he can see the crushed look on Oliver’s face because he won your his and Oliver’s poor choices led you right to his awaiting arms and now it’s his name you’ll share for the rest of your lives while Oliver wonders about the “could have beens”

it's a super fun idea that was originally from this anon ask! it makes sense to me since we know isagi is an overthinker and gets in his own head—i think he wants to know that you know for sure. that he trusts that you'll come back, because you love him, but that both of you will always have that little sliver of doubt.

for me personally, i don't see it as intentionally done to see oliver get crushed but i do think it's very much an added bonus. oliver hasn't been kind to you (unintentional, perhaps, but still a truth) while in denial of his feelings and i think someone like isagi takes that personally, even if he didn't mind oliver before. so it's a nice little cherry on top!

(and if it is intentional, well—it wouldn't be totally surprising, i suppose!)
