----- Summary -----

The rift between Yuta and Rioto has increased, leaving Rioto scared and worried than ever. Feeling that he lost something that he will never get back, and has no idea what to do. But a certain clan head helps him when he called and gives Rioto the talk he needed. Read to find out

---------

Rioto lies on his bed, hiding under the covers, scrolling through his phone. Just stuff on the news, attacks, accidents, and other world events reflected in his eyes as he continues to scroll. His eyes became halfway. He sighs, closing his eyes. He thinks back to Yuta's face. A look of... betrayal. That's how Rioto sees it. He didn't mean it. He didn't mean to hurt him. What should he do??

Then the phone vibrates and he blinks to see the Caller ID.

Oda.

Not just Oda Clan.

Oda Omida himself. The head of the Oda clan.

Rioto quickly answers. "Hello?"

"Rioto. It's me, just checking up on you." He said. "How are you?" "Doing alright," Rioto said, slumping his shoulders a little. "Just resting..." He said. "That's what happens when it comes to fighting cursebloods. I heard from Torahito that you managed to take down a whole horde of vampires and freeze them with your technique to take them alive for research and treatment. Good job. You did exceptionally well. We might get somewhere regarding the vampires you captured. Sukuna and Gojo might have the answers with their side researching the vampires on their side."

"Yeah...." Rioto sighs. A pause from the line. "Rioto...is something matter?"

"No...I...mean..." He begins. "I don't know...but thank you for calling me, Oda." Usually, he feels happy when he gets praised like this. From Oda himself. But he doesn't...it's...

"I heard that you moved in with Yuta for the time being since the college is closed temporarily. You did do a number on the building if that's what you worried about."

"I mean yeah but...." He closes his eyes, "That's not it. It's just....erm..." Rioto turns to the side.

"Just what? Rioto, it's okay. You can tell me."

"I....I did something unforgivable, Oda. Unforgivable to Yuta." Rioto closes his eyes. Oda asks. "Tell me what happened..."

Rioto proceeds to tell him what happened. Everything. His plan includes not telling Yuta about this. He only told his friends on Sukuna's side, Maki and Yuji. On the night of the operation, Yuta called and he lied to him about being on a group project, so he doesn't want to worry Yuta, assuming that he must be busy. Then at the end, he is about to get overwhelmed by the last two vampires. Yuta rescued him. He tells him how angry Yuta was, and they had a huge argument to the point where Rioto hurt him with his technique. "I-I almost freeze....his wrists...Oda. I-I didn't mean to...I was...I wasn't myself. I didn't want that to happen. Yuta has the right to be angry, but...I was doing this to protect him, wanting to help him, and...I...hurt him, sir. That's the last thing I wanted to do...I-I even made the mistake of telling that I'm scared of him..because...because of what he is now. I'm just...damn it..."

"Rioto...."

Rioto sighs, "I mean.... technically...it wasn't a lie. It was a group effort between Miryu and me, taking care of the vampires using the three units. I mean.."

"Rioto....it's a lie no matter how you shape it," Oda tells him firmly. "You may think that you're helping Yuta by lessening the load but you lied to him and broke his trust. That's what it sounds like." Oda tells him. Rioto shut his eyes tightly. He shouldn't cry. He doesn't deserve to cry, but tears are trickling down from the corners of his eyes.

"I know, I know. I messed up and...I don't know how to fix it, sir." Rioto answered. "I don't know how...I...I'm scared of him because he turned into a vampire. But it isn't his fault. It's me. "What do you mean?" "I have to overcome this fear...I love him more than anything. It's just this damn fear keeps...me from doing that! I want to start something small, and I thought...maybe if I fight these cursebloods...the fear goes away but it didn't. I said words that I couldn't take back."

"I see. That;'s situation you're in." Oda begins, "Rioto. This fear....what is this fear you're having?" "I don't know...it's just if when I see fangs or anything that looks like needles...I get...it's like my life is in danger. Like...I can't explain it. It's...I want the needles to get away from me. Like...like...I have to stop it from getting to my skin, or else I die. It's so dumb...I don't know why it pops the first thing into my mind. It doesn't make sense. I...also did this to a vampire who tried to bite me, and I immediately froze him in place. But he's not alive though.."

Oda listens attentively as he is on the line by himself in his room. Oda is concerned for Rioto but he will do his best to help his ice general out. He didn't interrupt Rioto as he keeps on explaining.

"I want to help Yuta with the blood. I offer myself to give him blood, but...after last night...he prefers blood bags now and he keeps bringing up of being scared of him.." Rioto clutches onto his pillow tightly. "I mean...we started off in feeding him my blood through a finger so I can ease into it but...ugh...I messed up. I messed up so bad!" Now Oda understands what Rioto is going through. There were keywords reminded him of something. "Rioto. I think this fear you described is the result of a mission that you were on, so long ago."

Rioto blinks his eyes. "Mission?" He questions.

"The one you're on...it involves...a vampire bat curse, no...a mosquito curse?" He mentioned, causing Rioto to go silent. He grips his phone tightly, trembling at the memory of it. "Yes...I think it was a mosquito curse, sir. But what does that have to do with anything?" "After that mission, Moudo informed me that you didn't want anyone taking your blood. You immediately freeze any needles touching your skin. You even went as far as to avoid any check-ups like flu shots and such."

Rioto almost drop his jaw, "How...did you-"

"Torahito tells me everything. You know that..." Oda reminds him. Rioto groans, "So what should I do? If that's really the case, what should I do to beat it?"

"Is it okay to have a fear, Rioto. There is no shame in-"

"No, you're wrong!" Rioto sits up now, now rising his voice, "There is something wrong. I fought...many curses, curse users, demons, and now vampires. I can't be afraid of something like that. How does that look if people find out if I'm... afraid of that??? What would Yuta think???"

"......"

"Oda? Omida..." Rioto said as his eyes contracted, and already his mind imagined something worse. Crap, I yell something at him as well. Dumbass. What are you pushing people away? "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to raise my voice. I am sorry for taking so much of your time and-"

"I think Yuta would understand," Oda tells him, making Rioto blink. "s-sir?"

"Rioto, you say your fear is what's making you do all this. You're indeed doing this because of fighting this fear or because you're doing it for everyone else's sake."

Rioto sighs, "I don't know....it could be that but I also wanna help people! We have a student died and another who has gone missing on campus. I can't leave things as they are. I had to do something. I want to help Yuta and the others. I want to do something. Everyone "

"Two things can be true at the same time." Oda begins, "It's just one that you didn't tell Yuta about. The fear...you're having" He said. Rioto sighs, laying down again. "Yes but there's something else than that." "Which is..." "If Yuta is a vampire...then that does make him immortal? If so, what if...something along the way....he doesn't want me anymore?" He asked, holding onto his knees. "What if he found someone that...he can-"

"That won't happen," Oda answered. "If Yuta didn't want you, he wouldn't let you move in with him for the time being. I think he still cares about you, Rioto. He's just...angry and disappointed that you lied to him. You two need some space to cool off before having a proper talk. Yuta wouldn't stay mad at you forever."

Rioto lowers his head, "Okay..." "However, you need to acknowledge the decisions you made. The lying and not communicating with him. If you told him about your plan earlier and said that you don't want him involved, only to come in as support. I think he would be more willing to let you do the operation by yourself. Don't you think?" Oda advises him. Rioto became quiet because Oda is right. Yuta would be okay with it. Heck, if he told Yuta about this. Then...things wouldn't be like this.

God, I am such an idiot... Rioto thinks to himself as he continues to listen to Oda. "You both care about each other. Yuta always tells you where he goes and does, yes? Why can't you do the same for him?" "It's just that the plan was risky. Like Yuta said....hell...like everyone said. I didn't want anyone to get hurt, and I want to make sure nobody gets hurt because...I care about everyone, but. I-I...usually do things by myself. Heck...I even make sure to put Junpei to keep the squadron safe because I have my Kirin units..." "That's your problem, Rioto. You need to ease your burden and trust someone to take some of the weight off. You always do things by yourself. Sure, you have Kirin Units, but you have your squadron that wants to help you and make sure to support you. Your Kirin Units are impressive, but they don't replace human beings. Rather, they are an extension of you," He said. Rioto widened his eyes,

"I can tell that the reasoning behind this because you can't trust yourself to protect them, so you use your Kirin Units and do these risky endeavors because that's your way of protecting them. It is your greatest strength and weakness. If someone destroys your Kirin Units and you, the people you care about will be left vulnerable and lost. In your case with Yuta, you're afraid that you aren't good enough and worried...that you feel inadequate but if something were to happen to you, what would happen to Yuta.."

Rioto sniffles as he trembles. Darn it. He couldn't imagine it now. "I-I....I want to trust people. I do. I want to protect them, but I also....I don't...I don't want to lose them. I don't want to lose my squadron and Yuta because I am scared and that's why I did these things. For them and Yuta, most of all." "Then tell him that. Talk with him once you two need to clear your heads. You need to communicate this."

Drops of water hit the blanket as Rioto nods, "I understand, thank you." As tears flowed from his eyes, he wiped at his eyes with his arm.

"Good. First things first, you need to build up that trust once more." Oda advises him. "I won't tell you what to do and how to do this, Rioto. It's all up to you, understood?" "Yes, sir..." "Good." Oda then smiles, "Don't doubt yourself ever again. It's okay to have such feelings; that's what makes you human. You don't need to take all of this on yourself. Even Yuta, despite being a vampire. He's still Yuta, isn't he?" "Yes...he is. He always is." Rioto smiles a bit. "Yuta is super cool. Heh...I mean...that's why I want to be with him." "That's the spirit. I am afraid I must go..I have another meeting with the three." "No worries. What you said is enough for me to get it. Thank you, Oda Omida." Rioto said.

"Take care, Rioto." He said.

"Thank you, too, Omida." Rioto said before Oda hangs up. Leaving Rioto by himself. Now he needs to do is to make it up to Yuta. But how?

-------

"You want me to do what now?" Junpei asked.

"Well...um....I need some rom-com movies, Junpei." Rioto begins, hesitantly. Junpei stares at him, "Um dude...I thought we agreed that you two need to cool off, and now you're just forcing it-"

"No! I don't want to watch movies with him! I want to come up with ways to build up trust with Yuta again, so I thought... a rom-com will help out with that. Like making strategies! Like...well...I don't know! To show that I...I want to tell him that I fucked up, and well, I want to say that I trust Yuta a lot in ways. He wouldn't talk to me...sooo..."

"...." "Ahhh....Oda and I talked about it."

"And what did he say?" Junpei is surprised that Omida talked to him. Or maybe he shouldn't be surprised. Maybe he wanted to call Rioto since he already heard about what Rioto did. "He said what you and Kisho were saying and also..I want to say sorry to you, Junpei."

"Huh?" Junpei blinks, "For what?"

"Ugh...I...I didn't let you guys help me because I always use my Kirin Unit to do most of the work, and well...I didn't trust myself to take care of you and everyone else." Rioto lowers his head, "That's why I want you to lead the clearing of areas and make sure the civilians are out of harm's way when I take care of curses. I wish...I should trust you and the guys more. I felt so terrible. Please let me make it up to you and everyone in the squadron."

"Rioto...what are you talking about?"

"Huh?"

"I mean...sure, you look like you want to do everything by yourself, and I wish you could trust me and the rest of us more. But at the same time, we knew that you're doing this because you care about us." Junpei said, smiling as he chuckled. "I feel like you're taking on a lot without realizing it. So I get it."

"Junpei..."

"That said...at least...let me fight with you! It wouldn't be fun if you let Kirin Units hog all of it. Some of us are itching to fight, and heck...we had ideas for Kirin Units if you're interested!"

"HUH?! Why didn't of you guys say anything?!" Rioto said. Junpei chuckles, "Because you didn't ask, you always have new ideas because you think of us first and how to take down curses right away, so we thought...well...our ideas won't surpass yours."

"No. Don't say that. Ideas are welcome in the Kirin Squadron. So...please share them. Heck, we should share them right now!" Rioto answered, making Junpei laugh, "Alright, alright. Once I am done here, we can talk, but first, you gotta solve your problem. You need to make it up to yourself that you won't pull this kind of stunt again, and you have to show him, you know how. So I can't tell you, that's between you two." "But! I would say this. Communicating with Post-it notes is a good start. Just say where you're going and what you're doing. Since you two can't talk about anything like Geto, Oda, Sukuna, or Gojo. This is another way to do so. Place a pen and post-it-notes that way...you two write it and place it somewhere, like on the fridge and such.

"That's it?" Rioto asked.

"That's it." Junpei nods. "It's a subtle way...everything else is just superficial and feels forced." Rioto nods with a hum, "Got it. I think I will do that. I think I have post-it notes and a pen with him."

"Even if he doesn't respond, it's fine. Just keep doing it." Junpei said. Rioto nods and smiles, "Thanks, Junpei."

"No problem. After all...I am your second." Junpei smiles.

"Thanks. Also, there is another thing I need your help with..."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Did you remember when we were taking down that...um...mosquito curse?" He asked him. Junpei thinks back and nods slowly, "Yeah...that one...was...something. Why did you ask?" Junpei asked.

"I think...there's another problem I need to address..." Rioto begins.

------ With Yuta ------

Yuta relaxed at Yuji's place for the time being until his phone vibrated in his pocket. He checks and frowns seeing it's Maki but he exuses himself to the bathroom, to which Yuji doesn't mind as he goes to answer inside the bathroom.

"Hello?"

"Hey...just want to give you an update. Apparently, the vampires we snagged from last night. So far, the vampires don't respond to most of the usual remedies that your average vampire is. Ieiri is researching this, and I guess Oda's healer probably found the same things we are.

"And...?"

"And we are interrogating the two with the cursed techniques that Rioto told us. Guys named Jin and Kirito. A guy named Arashi is in charge of the two, coordinating the attacks. Plus, he's the leader of the cursebloods group, causing a mess in Nagoya. We already got his description and what he looks like."

"I see. Is that all?" Yuta frowns.

"What? What's wrong? Are you still mad about-"

Yuta sighs, rubbing his forehead, "You know I'm still upset with you, Maki. You hid this plan that Rioto came up behind my back." "I know, I know, but he reminds me of you when you want to do things yourself," Maki tells him on the phone. "Huh?" Yuta raised a brow at this. Maki sighs before chuckling, "Oh come on, you act like you've never done this before? You always take on missions by yourself without anyone helping you out, and you don't ask for help or tell anyone where you are going! Only vague answers"

"Yes, but I didn't lie about it-"

"No but you're good at hiding things. I bet he gave the same answer as you did when we worked together." Maki chuckles. Yuta scowls but sighs, slumping his shoulders, "Don't remind me. I just...still don't understand why he couldn't just trust me to help him." "Maybe that's because of the plan...?"

"What? What sort of plan is it's just him by himself taking on?" "Do you know that he asked for two bags of virgin blood from me to lure these fuckers to the recreational building?? That should tell you something."

Yuta frowns. Maki continues, "From the looks of it, he baited a lot of vampires into several rooms inside the recreational building. Three big ones: the gymnasium, the rock-climbing area, and the pool. Each one held its own monster to take care of them. I have a pretty good guess he was watching it from where it's happening. The cams. We had to erase the cams but! I did take it for safekeeping. He put up a barrier that allows cursebloods to come in, but none will get out. You have to admit...it's a risky plan, he did hold down his own."

Yuta closed his eyes, "What's your point? It doesn't change a thing what he did."

"I'm saying that your boyfriend is like you, but more of an insecure type. He's like a cat, showing a mouse to you so he can get told what a good job he has done."

Now, Yuta imagines Rioto being a cat, holding up a cursed spirit in his mouth, looking up to him. His white fur coat and his adorable eyes and little reindeer hors-wait, wait no! He's still upset with him!

"He said that he was doing a group project! A group project?" Yuta groaned. "Telling me that's he fine, but I know he isn't. It's just...it was on the day of..." "What did he sound like when he answered your call?" "Happy as usual....?" Yuta asked, remembering his voice assuring him that everything is fine, "but he did sound a little panicking."

"I guess he didn't want to lie to you since the plan is going underway as he wanted to focus and want to return to you, showing off what he did.."

"That doesn't excuse him. If that's his plan...why didn't he just tell me??" He expressed.

"Maybe because he knew that you're going to come in and try to help him out. I guess he wanted to prove himself. Not going to excuse the lying and all that, though."

"He also hurt me....but....by accident."

"What do you mean?"

"I was so angry at him...I scared him when I confronted him about it, cornering him. To the point, he immediately freezes the sides of my wrists when I corner him. He got so mad and..scared-."

"Oh shit..."

"Yeah. But he apologizes because he looks like he didn't mean to do that, right after he told me that he's scared of me...even...he still wants to help me. I don't know what to think, hearing that." He remembers the tears from Rioto, the fear and the guilt. Rioto's hands were trembling, seeing what he had done.

"Oh Yuta....I am so sorry..."

"Yeah...I want to give him space because...I don't know...this whole vampire thing...is probably causing this between us," Yuta groans. He remembered his tears as he believed Rioto was telling the truth at the time. But at the same time, he is saying this just to be with him, trying to tolerate the vampire side of him. Maki hums, "If he is still at your house, then he wants to be with you. I have a guess that the reason he wants to capture vampires to...just...maybe try to find a cure?"

"You think that's what he wanted?" Yuta leans against the door, looking at the mirror where only the phone is held in the air. The same phone he's holding.

"I mean...it's pretty hard to tell. You said he wants to offer you blood, and yet he goes to capture some vampires. It can be anything like stopping them from messing up campus, trying to help others who are suffering from being inflicted, and trying to.... I don't know what he's thinking, but maybe you should talk to him about it after you two get some time to cool off and space to yourselves."

"I don't know if he wants to tell me but...."

"That's fine, give it time!" Maki tells him, "Also, you should let him work for it. I mean...he did kinda break your trust in him after he lied." Maki chuckles, "Who knows? He probably might be able to do that to regain that over time. I did saw your reaction when you saw him fought in his ice armor of his. It's like you fall in love all over again."

Yuta sulks, making a face. "I did not-"

"Oh come on! You were shocked seeing all of that. You have to admit, he did look pretty cool out there." Maki said as he sees Yuta watching Rioto fight two of the vampires in his ice armor, he hasn't seen before.

--- Flashback to that night ----

"Rioto. You..." Yuta watches this fight as Rioto is wearing armor that he has never seen before. A horned helmet, ice plates, carrying a lance and shield, plus a tail. A long tail.

"This shitty sorcerer...who the hell do you think you are?!" The vampires yelled at Rioto.

"Who?" Rioto asked before chuckling, "I'm Rioto Kirin. A demon general of Oda!" He exclaimed, and then he and the vampires fought. Rioto summons ice spikes to puncture one of their foot before he gets bashed by Rioto's shield, as Rioto dashes at the vampire who was charging up an attack. That vampire was taken care of immediately.

Yuji gasped, "Woah..dude. Your boyfriend is badass!"

He is. Yuta watched as Rioto took down one of the vampires by conjuring a huge ice blister on their shoulder after piercing the shoulder with the ice lance, taking him down. Leaving one vampire standing angry and trying to attack. Rioto summons an ice pillar to block the cross-blade attack, creating a huge cloud of mist, obscuring the area for a brief moment.

To Yuta, the way he looks and fights is something he never thought to see from his reindeer. It made him hopeful for his victory. He almost forgot why he was mad in the first place.

Until he is brought back to reality when the vampire spills blood. The vampire laughs, talking about how his blood will taste. Rioto's blood

Yuta's cursed energy became intense, to which Yuji stood back, "Uh..oh..." Before Yuta takes off from the ledge of the building, and makes his way down there.

----- Present -----

"Yes...he did. But the moment his blood is spilled and the way that vampires talk about fetching a high price for him. I got so mad...at that vampire." Yuta sighed. "I am also mad at him for not telling me and putting himself in danger like that. "

"Look. Just remember. Rioto has problems of his own. He isn't perfect. The problems that he wants to push down so far to the back of his mind because he didn't want to hurt you with them while trying to sort them out. I mean...it took time for Yuria to get used to me when I became a vampire. She still is, but she loves me, and it's gotten better. It's a process." Maki sighs. "But it seems the argument blew the lid off it, and now you know. Rioto doesn't want to be afraid, but he is. He's stuck in trying to deal with it, or doesn't know how to deal with it. From what you're telling me..."

Yuta closes his eyes and slumps his shoulders, "So now what? How should I get him to open up to me? I'm just...not ready..."

"Take your time. Just have a proper talk with him after you cool off. Ask him what he is so bent on doing reckless things. He might be telling the truth this time since he feels really bad now." Maki advises his friend. "Right." Yuta nods. "Don't forgive him just yet after you two talk it out!" "Understood." "ALSO! Don't make it easy for him to regain your trust. He has to work for it now." "How do you know that?" Yuta asked.

"Because he reminds me of you when you mess up stuff." Maki smirks. Yuta sighs, hearing that as he looks to the side, as there is a ghost of a smile, "Yeah, yeah, shut up." He sighs, looking up at the ceiling.

"Again. Time. You've got all the time in the world. The campus shutdown is only temporary. Once. You two are going to be there for...I give it...like a month or two months once the campus fixes up the recreational building." Maki said.

"Good point," Yuta said.

"Before I leave ya....am I forgiven yet?" Maki teases.

It got a snort from Yuta. He shakes his head at this, now chuckling a little. "Don't push your luck, Maki. You've got to earn that too." He crosses his arms. "Alright, alright. Going to leave you to it. Talk to you later." "Later." And so the two hang up, leaving on a subtle note. A good one. Yuta sighs, looking up at the ceiling. Wondering what Rioto is doing now, and he hopes he is reflecting on his actions. But he has to wait and see To be continued...

[the-silver-peahen-residence]

Can do you a wholesome drabble involving Sukuna and Kinie sleeping in each other's arms after a mission or after looking after the pups.

((Hello there anon, hope your well. I think I can write something for you. Just give me a moment. Oh and Kinie and little taz belongs to my wonderful friend @demon-blood-youths ))

Silver butterfly mun/Peahen mom

It was a long and tiring day, even for a king and his princess. No one else saw the two for a while after their mission but Megumi was wondering where they were. He was going to check on them but he was not expecting this view.

"I'm telling you Megumi, we should at least ask him. I forgot what he wanted us to get after a while but it's nothing serious." He looks to Kisho who is holding something to Megumi sighing.

"Kisho, I don't think Sukuna wants anyone bothering him or Kinie right now. Besides, they did just come from a mission a while ago." Megumi walks but Kisho keeps going to Sukuna and Kinie's room.

"I know but I still wanna ask!" he said. "Or was it after watching Yuji and Taz?"

"W..we won't know till we see.." Miko said holding some blankets in case for the pups. She, Yuria, Nobara, Megumi, and Kisho were heading there only to get to the room. Megumi looks to see no one wanting to knock without him getting mad but he sighed going to do it instead. However, as he did, the door opens showing...

"Uhhh....."

Inside the room was Gojo who was holding a finger to his lips smiling.

"Gojo? What the heck are y-"

"Shh shhh.....not so loud, you'll wake them." he said giggling. The others didn't get it before he did point to show inside. The living room was clean but not as messy. Except for some toys and little books around. However, that's not what shocked them.

Sleeping on the couch was the king of curses Sukuna Ryomen who was snoring lightly, wearing sweatpants with a muscle shirt with his face looking peaceful. He was resting on a pillow but had some little baby stickers on his cheek. Seems the pups were playing with them before or earlier today.

In his arms sleeping comfy was his princess Kinie. She was curled up snuggling against his chest while she was sleeping peacefully as well. Wearing some light pants and a t-shirt with her black hair up in a pony tail with a little hair piece Sukuna bought for her. She was tired but was resting on top of Sukuna who offers to let her use his body as her bed. Which he didn't mind.

"Zzzzz.....zzzzzz.....zzzzzz..."

Seems the two were tired after today but if that's the case...

'Holy-' Kisho was about to speak but Megumi hushes him.

'Shhhh....Gojo sensei, where are the pups?' Megumi whispered to him but Gojo smiled pointing to the right. In a little crib was two sleepy babies; little Taz and Little Yuji with the little baby tiger and quoll snuggled against the two. A blanket was on top of the two while Yuji was happily hugging his baby sister Taz who was sleeping peacefully by her big brother.

"......"

'Aren't they adorable? Just like a happy little family. I was coming here to give Sukuna a report regarding the curse Yuji and Taz were under but I came to see this. I sent a pic to Taz's team. Just look at this. So precious.' Gojo giggled but he quiets down seeing Sukuna eye twitch but he only pulls Kinie close not wanting to let her go. She only murrs softly in a cute way but keeps sleeping in her king's arms.

'Though. I think it's because they were watching the little ones today before going on a mission when some curses tired to kidnap them. Let me tell you, these two were vicious when the pups were endagered. I never seen Sukuna or Kinie lose it like that.' Gojo said but the thought made the other sorcerers look pale thinking about it.

They might have some idea to what it was like but...it was scary to think about.

'You know what? I think we'll leave the report for later after they get some rest. Though, we better leave. I do NOT want to be caught in their rage if we woke them up or worse..waking the pups up.' Nobara whispered.

'Second, how the heck did you get in here?' Megumi whispered back.

'Ohhh I have ways to get in. They didn't even know I was here.' Gojo said proud but Kisho sweatdrops to notice a window open.

'Ummmm Sensei, did you crawl through the window to get inside the room?' Kisho points but Gojo looks to see but he looks to his students snickering.

"Maybeeeeee~"

"......" The students sigh but looks to one another then back at him. Knowing him, he did it to see the babies and get more pics. Though, the group did look inside again. It's like Sukuna was a father to a wife and two pups. Imagine that. Even if it's under a curse, it still looked cute.

'I guess we better leave them to sleep. We'll give the report later...' Megumi whispered seeing everyone turning to get ready to leave. However, Gojo was happy while leaving the room to try closing it shut quietly without waking them.

"I mean, as long as we leave without making a single noise..we don't die." Kisho said with a sweatdrop.

"Righttttt.....lets just leave before that happens." Megumi said seeing everyone leaving. However......

"You know maybe one more picture-"

"No!" The group grabs their teacher dragging him away as he was sad wanting more pics of the cute family. However, he'll try to sneak back in later on this afternoon if they were awake. For now, Sukuna and Kinie remain asleep while he was sleeping. Even knowing the pups were safe.

@songcurse asked: [ dying breath ] sender talks to receiver before dying. idr what ask meme this was but thank you mun <3

death is something no human can escape, yet it plagues sorcerers infinitely more so than regular humans. satoru's long accepted that many people he knows will die terrible, gruesome deaths. it still doesn't really lessen the blow, even knowing the possibility. given utahime's status as a teacher and her rank (as well as satoru's own meddling), she didn't get sent out on missions as she probably would have liked. he knew she was capable, despite how he'd teased her, but still.

somehow, something had gotten under his nose without him noticing, and it wasn't until the afternoon that satoru looked at a notice of her being sent out to handle a grade 1 curse. that was close enough to her rank, but he didn't like what he was reading. on a whim, satoru made his way to the location of her mission. evidently, he'd arrived just in time? or perhaps not. utahime was laid out on the floor, bleeding profusely, as a special grade curse hovered above her.

he was at her side in an instant, dispatching the curse like it was nothing more than a fly to him. he didn't give a damn about the curse, though, instead hurriedly pulling utahime into his arms to apply pressure on her wound. he'd used his blindfold for one, and tore off one of his sleeves for another. unfortunately, it was more than one. dammit, why hadn't he figured out how to apply his rct to others yet?

"i'm here. i've got you. talk to me, utahime," he spoke, hurriedly yet still soft in a way that was unusual for him. he was worried, but he didn't want to cause her further stress lest she bleed even more. he just needed her to remain conscious until shoko could heal her. shoko could heal her, right? he places her hand over one of her wounds, instructing her to apply pressure while he covered the others while carrying her. instantaneously, they were at the school's infirmary, but there was so much blood, and shoko wasn't even there. dammit.

'come to the infirmary. it's an emergency. utahime is hurt,' he sends a quick text, sifting through the medical supplies to at least try and stay the bleeding. he's getting frantic, hands shaking, and satoru doesn't think he's been this panicked in his life. "don't die on me. shoko will be here soon. please," he pleads, as if utahime has any say in the matter herself. she looks so pale, but there's a faint smile on her lips too. he can tell she wants to say something, so he moves closer. he takes her hand in his, noticing it doesn't feel as warm as it should be. he gulps.

"don't move too much, utahime. you're safe. i can't lose you. there's so much..." he feels angry tears sting at his eyes, not at her but at the higher ups for sending her on this dangerous mission, and at himself for not being more open with her because he couldn't get over his own stupid hang-ups and fears about being vulnerable. it's funny, how weak he feels now, watching the woman he loves die while he can't do anything about it. the strongest, but still not strong enough to keep her safe.

he moves her hand to his mouth, softly kissing the back of it. it's reverent and gentle, hoping beyond reason that he'd found her fast enough, that he'd done enough to keep her living until shoko could work her healing. his other hand gingerly reaches up to brush her hair out of her face, and he can't help but think that she's still so beautiful. he's been smitten since the day he'd first laid eyes on her.

"you know, you're supposed to be my cute little wife one day and have lots of babies with me, so seriously utahime, you better not die!" he's trying to remain light-hearted and calm, and maybe she'll think he's joking, but he means that. at least, that's what his fantasy was. to just be... satoru, enjoying life again, finding love and fulfilling his dreams. he needs her to be there for that. he'll never want anyone else.

╰┈─➤ ＢＥＧＩＮＮＩＮＧ

Izuku had always wondered how Katsuki was related to him. Bakugo (Name). An angel compared to the devil that Katsuki was. He was only three years his senior with looks that resembled Masaru. His quirk was a bit underdeveloped compared to Katsuki's.. Weak, really.

But that's what he liked. He liked that (Name) didn't judge him for being quirkless. Unlike Katsuki. He still remembered that time (Name) slapped Katsuki for calling him ‘Deku.’

Katsuki hadn't really bothered him after that. His little lackeys, sure, but Katsuki himself didn't say much. Izuku couldn't be sure if Katsuki was even helping him sometimes against the bullies. But he knew Katsuki would never willingly say that he was.

He'd kill if he asked.

Izuku sighed to himself as he tugged off his sweaty suit. Of course the meeting his attended with Iida turned into an ambush by some lowlife villains. They won, obviously, but he still worked up a sweat in one of his favorite suits.

He turned it over to check for damages and to his dismay, there was a large scratch.

“(Name) got me this...” He muttered to himself. He felt the sudden urge to kill someone. (Name) had spent so much money to find a suit that was tailored to his larger body type and didn't rip once his arms went through.

What was he supposed to do?

Logically, fix it.

But emotionally, he wanted the villain who ruined such a special gift to gravel at his feet for ruining such a precious item.

He shook his head. He'd find someone to fix it. Resting it on his chair in his bedroom, he walked over to check his phone before noticing someone was calling him.

Katsuki?

“Hello?”

“Tch, what the hell have you been doing to not answer me? I thought today was your day off?” Katsuki's usually angry voice bled through the phone. But Izuku knew he was a little bit worried.

He could read Katsuki's emotions better now ever since they graduated.

“Sorry. I left my phone at home when I went to visit Iida.” Just a little white lie wouldn't hurt.

“You free now?”

“Yes, why? Did something happen?”

Katsuki paused for a second. “Come straight here. Don't do anything crazy, alright? You worked too hard for your hero's license.”

“Huh? What happened?” Izuku frowned. Sure, he acted recklessly sometimes but he had grown older. He knew to think before acting compared to his high school self.

“It's (Name). I—”

Katsuki frowned as the call ended. He cursed to himself, hoping Izuku was just coming straight his brother's house. Dressed in his hero suit, he wished he could stay longer with (Name) but he had already used his days off two weeks ago.

“(Name)?” He asked, his voice uncharacteristically soft if anyone had heard him. (Name) huffed as he glanced up from his pillow, tears staining his face. His glasses were on the nightstand, the right eye broken from the incident that happened this morning.

“De—Izuku's coming. Are you okay with that?”

(Name) frowned. He was happy to see Izuku, it's been awhile but he didn't want him to see him like this. So weak and broken. (Name) simply nodded, wondering if he was the older brother or did Katsuki really just grow ever since UA.

A harsh knock the door shocked the two as Katsuki grunted. “Stupid nerd...” He stalked off to have a talk with Izuku, making sure (Name) couldn't hear whatever they were saying.

(Name) sighed to himself as he reached over to light a candle, using his quirk. His quirk was stronger than most useless ones but it wasn't like Katsuki's. It couldn't be used in a fight. The fire quirk only lasted a few seconds, like little explosions.

It was good for lighting candles and other mundane things. (Name) only used it a few times for self defense and those few times he ended up hurting himself as well.

It was rare that a quirk could also hurt the user. Well, until Izuku came along with an alarming amount of broken arms from his own quirks.

“(Name)-chan?”

“Zuku!” (Name) grinned, a childlike grin on his lips. Izuku was larger than the small home that he shared with Katsuki. (Name) held his arms for a hug that Izuku awkwardly returned.

“Kacchan left. I'll be staying here until he comes back.” Izuku said, sitting down on the bed. The small tv was playing some random American action movie. (Name) hummed.

“Sorry to bother you on your day off,” (Name) laughed. “What happened was really silly...” He glanced over at Izuku to blink at the angry look he was giving him.

“Silly? Getting attacked is silly to you?”

(Name) frowned. When did he get so serious...?

“Eh, no! I was just—”

“Your boyfriend attacked you in public. You had to use your quirk to defend yourself,” Izuku grunted, a scowl on his lips. “I knew he was a terrible person.”

“Huh?”

Izuku's face flushed. He hated every boyfriend (Name) got. There was always an inching pain in his heart that wanted to scare away—or kill—the men in your life. It always ended up being true because of how often they broke (Name)'s heart.

This is just the first time they ever physically hurt you. (Name) huffed, hating how Izuku was somehow inferring he had terrible taste in men.

He did! But that doesn't mean he liked hearing it from someone else.

“Sorry, that was out of line...” Izuku muttered.

(Name) shook his head. “It's fine. There's some truth to that. I'm sorry for having to continually bother you with boyfriend drama.”

“It's not boyfriend drama, (Name).”

(Name) blinked. That was one of the first time Izuku dropped the honorifics from his name. He looked over at Izuku and reached over to touch his arm. They stayed like that in silence before Izuku finally spoke.

“I hate seeing you with anyone.”

“Like with friends?”

“Romantically.”

“Do you like me, Izuku?”

Izuku's face was flushed red as he looked at everything but (Name). (Name) wished he could properly see but without his glasses--things were blurry far away.

“I love you, (Name). I want to keep you as my own. Even when I was younger. Ah, I'm sorry for being creepy. I can get someone else to watch over you!” Izuku panicked, sitting up abruptly.

(Name) grabbed his hand, “wait! You didn't let me answer.”

“Huh?” Izuku turned around to face him.

“I like you too. I just thought it would be weird to have feelings for my little brother's friend.”

“I'm not Kacchan's. I'm yours.” Izuku muttered, kneeling down to press a kiss on (Name)'s lips. (Name) returned it with a smile on his lips as he pulled away with a giggle.

Izuku grasped (Name)'s hands and glanced down at the recent burn mark on them. (Name) frowned, body fidgeting at the sudden attention towards it. He wanted to ignore it. Much to his surprise, Izuku brought the hand to his lips and...

Licked it.

He licked it.

(Name) gasped, mouthing widening to oppose this but only a whimper came out as Izuku nipped at his hand. He could only watch as Izuku's much larger hand practically engulfed his. Each little kiss and lick made him shiver.

Part of him was disgusted hygiene wise while the other was very much into Izuku licking him.

“Do you want to wait?” Izuku suddenly muttered, glancing up with half-lidded eyes that (Name) was sure most fangirls dreamed of at night.

“Wait for what...?”

Izuku blinked, his sudden alter ego seemingly vanishing. “Ah, I'm sorry! I'm rushing things, aren't I?!” His face was full of panic that (Name) could only giggle.

“It's fine... I want you. I waited so long for you.”

Izuku's lips turned upwards into a boyish grin. (Name) was beginning to wonder how long Izuku loved him. It had to be longer than himself.

“I'll show you how long I loved you, (Name).” Izuku whispered.

ꕤ

“You're tight, (Name). Did your other boyfriends not fuck you right?”

(Name) whined, arching his back as he looked away. It had happened so fast. Izuku wasn't as innocent as he looked. The way he opened him and instantly found his prostate was scary. It truly took only two minutes before (Name) was a muttering mess beneath him.

And now this. With the constant squeaking of the bed of the bed, slapping of wet skin, and Izuku's sudden boost of confidence—(Name) wasn't sure he truly knew him.

“Don't... ngh, say that!”

Izuku simply smiled and pressed a chaste kiss on (Name)'s neck. (Name) squealed as his legs were grabbed as Izuku pushed them towards his ears, effectively bending him in a way he never believed was possible. Izuku's dick was large, just like the rest of his body and the burn that (Name) felt was pleasurable and painful.

“Sorry, (Name)-chan... I don't think I can last long,” Izuku grunted, his face turning bright red in embarrassment.

(Name) wasn't sure why he was embarrassed. He was ready to give two minutes ago from the harsh thrusting. A pathetic whimper left his lips as he tried to ignore the sinful squelching of his asshole. He was going to die if Izuku didn't come already.

“Its...mmh! okay. We have...” (Name) gasped at a particular harsh thrust. “Other days!”

(Name) blinked at the feeling of something wet touch his chest. He glanced up to see Izuku on the verge of tears. Only a huff of laughter left (Name)'s lips. Izuku still was a crybaby at heart.

“Then we can have a family in the future...” Izuku muttered. (Name) wasn't sure if he was supposed to hear that part.

“Uh...?”

Izuku brought a hand to (Name)'s more chubbier stomach and a smile formed on his lips. “I wish you could give birth.”

“Pervert...” (Name) giggled, trying to ignore the way he suddenly tightened around Izuku's cock at the thought. Izuku seemed to notice as a subtle smirk ghosted his lips as he quickened his thrusts.

The last minute was the both of them chasing their release as Izuku leaned down next to (Name)'s ears and whispered:

I'm sure we can make this a reality soon.

It shouldn't have made (Name) cum but it did. Izuku was soon right after, a blush ghosting his face as if he wasn't the one who brought breeding in the first place. (Name) simply hummed and wrapped his arms around Izuku, grinning at the warm cum inside of him.

It was going to suck taking it out but he'll enjoy it right now.

“I love you, Izuku.”

“Love you too...”

Before a quick slumber could take over the two—the door opened showing a pissed of Katsuki.

“I said watch my brother, not fuck him, you shitty nerd!!”

Oh, he was screwed.

Speechless | Stephen Strange

Stephen was quiet. Unusually quiet. Especially considering the words that just left your mouth.

"Stephen, did you hear me?"

"What?" he muttered without looking up from a text on obscure curses. "Yeah. Of course, I did."

His eyes continued to scan the page. So you waited. You waited and waited and waited. And after three pages flipped—he seemed be reading even slower than usual, slower than was ever necessary for him—you snapped your fingers in his face.

"And?" you pressed.

"And what? Is there more?"

"More? More aside from the fact that I'm going to try the board exams? Aren't you going to tell me, well, everything? I know you have an opinion on the matter."

"Nope." He beamed at you, slamming the book closed. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get rid of the pilates machine in the basement or Wong is going to, you know, make me use it."

He left without another word. Without another word. Without another world. Without another word. It's not that you weren't used to Stephen having the last word of the conversation. But this? The last word with so few in between? Well, it was all you could think about when you received your results.

8th in the first phase.

At this point, you just had to show up to the interview. You could share even fewer words than Stephen did with you and you'd pass. You would pass.

It was the last thing you expected. Well, second to last. Because two seconds after seeing your results, you spun around to the familiar sizzle of orange sparks manifesting next to you. Stephen stepped though, signature smirk amply stamped on his face.

Your eyes flitted from your results to that smirk. That smirk. That damn smirk. And you shook your head as a smile crept upon your lips.

"Oh, you bastard."

"You rang?" he snickered.

"You knew. You knew this is what was going to happen, didn't you?"

"I couldn't say anything." He pressed his lips together. "Consider it a testament to my appreciation for you because God knows I wanted to say plenty."

"And now?"

"Well, now I can tell you everything. Including the sordid details about the food poisoning I got before my interview. Which I do not recommend, by the way. The food poisoning part, not the interview. Definitely do the interview."

You opened your mouth to speak. But Stephen held up a finger and clicked his tongue.

"Hey, I had to shut up for an entire 48 hours. It's my turn to talk." He breathed deeply, dramatically, and longingly. "It all started one cold November night—"

"Stephen!"

"Shows how well you're going to do in this interview, Sylpha. They don't like it when you interrupt, you know? Anyway, I was going to say," he sucked in a breath, "it all started on a cold November night..."

But the corner of Stephen's lip quirked in a grin.

"And I had never been more proud of you."

You cracked a smile, accepting the hug that he offered mid-sentence.

"Well," he muttered, "aside from the day you figured out Wong's birthday. I'm still bitter you put it together before me."

"Thanks, Stephen."

"Anytime. Just, for the love of God, do not eat anything even remotely suspicious beforehand. That's advice from my past self, not the future."

Stephen withdrew, straightening his posture and clearing his throat. He raised a brow and cocked his head to the side.

"Now, for the real reason I'm here. Will you come back and help me get rid of this fucking pilates machine?"

"Of course. I'll always help you."

"Same. All you have to do is ask."

LABOR AND PAINS

"Will you stop that!" Vicky snapped.

Summer was winding down into fall, but it was still extremely warm. And the heat was making the extremely pregnant woman snappier than usual.

And it wasn't helping that Leo was trying to carry her so she wouldn't strain herself.

"I'm pregnant, not crippled." The short tempered woman almost growled. Then winced when there was a solid kick to her bladder. "You stop too." She glared at her stomach.

She got kicked again.

Raph and Mikey were trying, and almost failing, to hide their amusement at the scene. Vicky could switch to carefree to a natural disaster on a normal day. Being pregnant made it fifty times worse. And it seemed Leo usually got the brunt of it.

"I just don't want you overdoing it." Leo replied sheepishly as he put her back on her feet.

Vicky took in a deep breath in preparation to unleash a tirade that would let him know exactly what she thought of his efforts to help, him putting her in this condition in the first place, the heat, his overblown concern of her because of it, and everything wrong with her predicament in general.

Her mouth opened to deliver her scathing extension of her vocabulary, when she suddenly stopped. Her face twisting from angry irritation to something completely different.

"Vicky?" Leo's face immediately switched to concern. He had never seen this particular look of delighted discomfort. "Are you alright?"

"No." She answered in an odd tone, her had going to her stomach. "Um, you might want to go find Donnie...." she trailed off with a wince.

Leo blinked, comprehension slowly dawned in his eyes.

"Are you trying to say that....you....I mean....."

"I'm not trying!" She snapped, her other hand now resting on the back of the couch to steady her. "I am saying it! Start screaming for your brother!"

Leo stared at her a moment, then "DONNIE!"

"That's my ear you're screaming in, you dolt!"

It just went downhill from there. She was swept off of her feet again, and no amount of slapping his shoulder would get him to put her down. Not until she was in bed anyway. Nevermind the fact that it was still early and moving around would be much more beneficial for her. Something Donnie pointed out to him when he entered the room.

Leo shook his head no. "Bed." He insisted. Then his eyes brightened. "Baby!"

Donnie gave his brother a long look, then sighed. It was going to be one of those types of deliveries.....

Oh well. He supposed he could zap Leo with his staff if it got too bad.

It eventually didn't come down to that. The blue banded brother eventually screwed his head on straight and quickly turned into the supportive father. Though he did make the grievous error of holding her hand. He quickly removed the appendage after Vicky squeezed it particularly hard after one contraction. He shoved a stuffed animal in her hand instead. And she promptly threw it across the room, growling and snapping out curses that would make a pirate blush.

He was more than a little overwhelmed with worry. Leo wanted nothing more than to ease her pain as it grew stronger while the hours slowly slipped by. But he knew there wasn't anything he could do.

Besides duck for cover every once in awhile.

Only when Donnie slipped in the epidural did things finally settle down. Vicky was now much more comfortable and accepting of his gestures of comfort. Both turtles could physically see the now weary woman relax into the pillows, her eyes closing.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled to Leo, her hand finding his this time. "I don't mean to be so horrible."

"It's alright, cookie." Leo smiled gently, giving her hand a reassuing squeeze. "You did warn all of us plenty of times you don't handle the process well."

"Understatement of the year." Donnie chuckled lightly as he probed, checking her dilation. Then he read over the notes he had written and had been passed on by a very helpful fellow in purple and his mun. He frowned a moment, something Leo immediately noticed.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I can't handle." Donnie replied mildly. "Her placenta hasn't popped yet, probably because it's thicker than a normal one. Something that has already been explained to me on why and how to deal with it."

"Why is it different?" Leo asked. More to keep his mind on something besides Vicky's struggles than out of curiosity.

"Because of the carapace." Vicky answered instead. Her eyes still closed and her tone drowsy. "It would split a normal placenta open like wet paper once it formed."

"But, wouldn't it do the same to your insides?"

"No, Leo." Vicky opened her eyes and smiled at him. "I'm overall made of tougher stuff, remember? That, and the shell won't harden fully until after the baby is born."

"Oh...."

She laughed lightly at him, then her face twisted in pain again. "Donnie...."

"I'm already on it." There was a sudden splash of liquid as Donnie looked at Leo. "Hope you're ready for this." He grinned.

Things suddenly moved quickly. Vicky began to push, groaning under the immense pressure she was feeling move through her body. Sweat began to build and dampened her long hair, causing her bangs to stick to her face as she labored to bring this new life into the world.

It was agonizing for Leo to watch. No amount of information he had been given on the process could have prepared him for this mixture of worry and elation he was feeling as he watched them work.

"Almost there!" Donnie encouraged the tired woman. "The baby is crowning."

Vicky managed a quick smile to Leo before she began to push once more. Her face twisted with the strain and her groan turned into a labored cry. It happened so fast. The child smoothly flowed out of her and into the steady hands of Donnie. Vicky's head collapsed into the pillow as her body finally went limp. Her chest heaving with the effort.

Her reward for going through all of this, was hearing the loud squall as a new voice sounded out for the very first time.

"A little girl." Donnie smiled. "Congratulations."

Leo was stunned. His gaze going from Vicky to the little creature in his brother's arms who was wailing for all the world to hear.

"Well, go on." Vicky opened her eyes and smiled a tired smile. "Go tell your daughter hello."

Leo's hands were shaking as he moved closer to the foot of the bed. Donnie had already reached for the scissors, and he had to help steady Leo's hands as the new father cut the cord. Then she was quickly cleaned, swaddled and placed in the waiting father's arms. Which were still shaking.

And now tears filled his eyes as he looked down into a matching set. "Hello Trinity."

His daughter looked calmly back up at him as her light green, five fingered hand clutched as the cloth she was wrapped in. Little hints of brown hair peeked out from under her tiny cap.

Tiny....she was so, so small in his hands. So fragile. But also so precious. Leo's smile was filled with happiness even as a tear slid down his cheek.

Vicky watched, her own eyes tearing up and her own smile raising her lips. She full well knew what this baby meant to him, and she couldn't be any more happy for him.

He noticed her watching him and brought the child closer so she could see.

"So beautiful." Vicky murmured wearily.

"Just like you." Leo smiled at the mother of his child. "I love you."

Since he was still holding the baby, Vicky reached out and placed her hand on his forearm. "I love you too, Leo. So much."

.

.

An hour later, Leo exited the lab with a now fed and sleeping Trinity. He grinned at his brothers and friends as they hooped and hollared excitedly. They would get to see her, but someone else came first.

Leo went straight to where his father was resting in a comfortable recliner, a blanket covering him despite the late summer heat.

"Hey Dad." Leo smiled. "Thought you might like to meet your granddaughter, Trinity."

Splinter was indeed eager to meet the baby. The joy that lit up his face when Leo placed her in his arms was very clear to see.

"My son," he looked up at Leo "this makes me so happy."

Leo grinned back as the others gathered around the chair.

"Daw!" Mikey gushed. "She is so cute!"

"Cuter 'n you." Raph grinned. "That's fer sure."

"Hey!"

There was gentle laughter and the sound carried to where Vicky rested. She smiled one last time, knowing how much this child would be loved and cared for. And that she had been able to do this for Leo, for all of them. Now, she could sleep.

About post bc I need one

So here's an about post for my version of Varian-

Im going to try and organize it as best I can, but it's probably going to be kinda Cluttered (pun very much intended)

I should've made this ages ago asdfyuiokjbv

This should be updated accordingly, so if there's any info you'd like to know, I'll add it here!

As always, if you'd like more elaboration on something here, please feel free to DM me!

Jeez this turned out long-

***

This is an ask/rp blog for my version of Varian from Tangled The Series!

Name: Varian (duh)

Age: 17 (March 24th birthday)

Gender/Pronouns: Trans male, He/Him

Sexuality: Demiromantic, biromantic, and asexual

Deaths: 50

Kills: 29

Relationships:

Iris, Boyfriend? Maybe?

Lav, Brother, (Adopted)

Bubble, Sister, (Adopted)

Indigo, Brother, (Adopted technically, though they're also technically the same person sooo?)

Cassandra, Half-sister, (Biological, they share a dad)

He has a ton of friends too but I don't want to list them lol

Physical Appearance:

Short black hair with a bright blue streak, about 4'11" in height, blue eyes, freckles, medium-dark skin tone (My Varian is biracial c:), dark bags under his eyes, and dangerously skinny. Like, seriously, I'm not kidding when I say that. He hardly ever eats at all, and if this were a normal world, he would definitely be dead. It's actually kind of disturbing.

Major scars/sources:

- Permanent brand on his back of his deadname, "Arabella". Given to him by Ender during the 2 week aggression curse

- Many severe scars on his wrists from prison cuffs, appear pale and almost resemble cuts one might see in self-harm, only they're on both wrists and go all the way around

- Burn marks on his left wrist from self-harm (He uses a lighter instead of a knife due to hemophobia)

- He's missing both his hands, one was removed by Cassandra and the other by Lav, both were cursed. His prosthetic hands were made by his brother Indigo

- Scar all the way around his left leg from when it was cut off and then sewn back on. The one who actually cut it off is Atlas, and Varian sewed it back on himself. As a result of this, his left leg is vulnerable to attack, and it does start to hurt if he uses it too much.

- Pale and intricate scars across his face, tracing his freckles together. They make his freckles look like constellations, and they're probably the only scars he thinks look alright. Given to him by Glass under an aggression curse.

Triggers:

- The name "Andrew"

- Promises

- Ice cream

- Chains/Bars

- Amber (Either mentioned or seen)

Fears:

- Blood

- Heights

- Small spaces

- Locked rooms

- Being restrained

- Abandonment

- Rejection

- Being manipulated/deceived

- Betrayal

- Prison

- Authority

- Losing people

- Hurting people

- Losing control

- His abusers

Misc. info:

- He's Autistic and has ADHD (Same as the mun)

- He has severe anxiety and on and off depression

- He also has severe PTSD and can have extreme episodes when triggered

- His mom left when he was very young. (Because she left before he came out, she doesn't even know she has a son.)

- Lots of gender dysphoria

- Major daddy issues

- Major abandonment issues

- Major attachment issues

- Major trust issues

- Just lots of issues in general

- Unbelievable intelligence

- Incredible engineering and alchemical skills

- Just desperately wants someone to love and appreciate him, but has a very hard time letting anyone get close

- Actually super adorable and excitable once he feels safe and comfortable

- He has horrific nightmares every time he sleeps due to trauma and PTSD. He has medication for them, though, and has been trying to get better. He's also looking into antidepressants

I don't touch on this explicitly very often, because of its sensitive nature, but my Varian actually has an eating disorder. It's mainly caused by trauma and is influenced by sensory issues rather than body image. It's also something he'd currently trying to work through.

He has no empathy. Like all items remaining on this list, this is mostly due to being autistic. It's incredibly hard for him to understand other people's feelings. This is a rant for another time, but this does not mean he can't be sympathetic and/or compassionate. (Empathy is a very misused term and in the way it's commonly used, it's very harmful to neurodivergent people. Please DM me if you'd like more info on this because it's too much to get into here-)

Very hard time processing other people's dishonesty (Not to say he can't be dishonest himself, he's actually a very good liar)

He has pretty major Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, a symptom and consequence of ADHD (Mun has lots of personal experience with it, so DM if you'd like more info-)

Backstory:

This is a bit of a longer section, but I'll try to keep it brief!

TW for child abuse.

Varian grew up constantly trying to get his father's attention, his only wish and sole motivation was to make his father proud of him. This quickly turned sour when black rocks started destroying his village when he was 14. His father kept pretending everything was alright, ignoring the problem and even lying to the king. Varian couldn't understand why his father would do this and went behind his back to experiment on the rocks. In the resulting alchemical accident, he trapped his father in impenetrable amber. He ran to the castle and begged Rapunzel for help, since she'd promised him she would, that everything would be okay. Unfortunately, she couldn't. She had a crisis on her hands and simply didn't have the option. In the chaos, the palace guards mistake Varian's pleading for him attacking the princess and drag him out of the castle as he begs and screams for her help.

In addition to this, the king sees variant as a threat. He's spreading information about the rocks, something he's been trying to keep a secret. So, he spreads a rumor about him throughout the kingdom, saying he's dangerous, and sending the royal guard to capture and silence him, and above all, he tried to keep his daughter away from him.

From Varian's point of view, he's completely alone. They already see him as the enemy, and in his eyes, they've made the first attack. He lashes out in anger and despair and uses his unique skills to take revenge, hurting a lot of people in the process and forever cementing his place as an incredible danger to the kingdom in the minds of its citizens, even despite his failure to save his father. As a result of this failed attack, he's thrown in prison, where he meets Andrew.

Andrew was Varian's abuser and his cellmate. He took advantage of his grief-stricken and broken state and pretended to care about him. He manipulated him with false security and false smiles, grooming him to do what he wanted and physically hurting him when he did something he didn't like. He was hurt, manipulated, gaslit, and abused for over a year. Over the course of this, he joined Andrew’s cult (yes, cult), helped him escape from prison, and took over the kingdom, all while being kept under a tight leash by the man who saw himself as his owner. When Varian, with help from Rapunzel, finally started to see that he was on the wrong side, Andrew saw that he was of no more use to him. He immediately turned, was set on making him as miserable as possible, and ultimately attempted to kill him, drinking in his fear, panic, and despair as he attempted the deed.

While he didn’t succeed in killing him, Varian never truly recovered from that betrayal, only worsening the attachment, abandonment, and trust issues created by being turned away at the castle.

There's so much more in the CD and the rest, plus I'm skipping over a ton, but I'm really fuggin tired. Maybe I'll add it later when I don't have an essay I have to do for literature sdfghjiihv

[ls-timeline-8]

A considered but dropped outcome

Ideas flood in but mun has no idea what to do with any of them

I think this was idea H

I don't know

(Implied/actual character death)

(Lots of dialogue)

Ehh??

Again, I don't know

He groaned, turning over to cover his ears with his pillow while reaching over to his desk and unplugging the charger before bringing the cursed device closer to read the caller ID

**

It was 2:47 in the morning when Ethan woke up to disastrous sound that he chose for a ringtone.

Syrus

You'd think someone who was such a stickler for time would call at a reasonable hour but then again, the red head never called much in the first place unless it was that important

The teen kicked the blanket aside and sat up moment before he slid the answer button and held the phone to his ear

"Hello..?"

The audio crackled. Unstable connection? Must be

"-han? Hello"

"Hi, what happened to you at," he squints to the clock on the wall, "2... in the morning..?"

"Mm- -ust had a thoug-"

The other cutting out was odd. Shouldn't he be in bed at this time?

"Really? What kind of thought? A thought to maybe warn us of a scheduled family event?"

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the line before choppy laughter emitted from the speaker

"-'m sorry, I didn't realize tha- -t'd still be a problem"

"You left without saying a word and it's almost been two weeks, of course it'd be a problem" Ethan sighed and looked behind him

Exbo was sleeping soundly, that was good

He reached a hand back to softly pat at the cyndaquil

"I'll be- -turning soon if- it- it make you feel better"

"You better... Krystal won't get off my case otherwise... but really, did something happen? You never call, let alone message"

"... No I- -ust wanted to call. It's been a har- -ard day"

"What? The work-a-holic Syrus had a hard day? I'm not buying it"

"-don't think I'm making a sales offe-"

"Shush your face, you know what i mea-"

Ethan cut himself off with a yawn and shook his head

"I'm keeping yo- -up. I'll take my leave now-"

"No no, it's fine! 'm just waking up, that's all"

Another moment of silence passes

Ethan lowers the phone to see the screen

The call was ended

He sighs and tries calling back, pressing the device to his ear again

...

...

...

Sorry. The person you're trying to call does not-

He hangs up before the automated voice finishes whatever statement it had about not having an inbox set up and sends a text

Me (2:54am): Did the line go dead?

He watched the screen for a while before laying back down with the phone in hand

All he can do is hope that the other calls back soon...

--

Syrus sent his phone through a full factory reset before removing the SD and battery from the device, listening to it's screen shatter against the brick wall in front of him.

He let out a shakey sigh as he held the two pieces his hand and tried to maintain the pressure on his side

A part of him hopes that he didn't leave a trail for them to find but hope would only get him so far and this was probably as far as he'll get

He was lucky to get himself out of that tight spot but with the state he's currently in, there wasn't must more he could be from here.

The wound in his leg would prevent him from advancing any further, he's lost vision in his right eye, and the wound on his side would probably be it

"I'll be returning.. soon..."

He repeated from his mostly one side conversation with Ethan

... that may be true... if anyone finds him that is

And if it does become true, it won't be the way they would like him to...

Syrus tilted his head back and pressed it against the wall

It was only a matter of time now...

The phone shattering would've at least signaled someone that he was sitting in this alley

He just sat there with nothing else but the suffocating silence

Nothing to do now but think...

...

They've been out of school for... 6 months now?

Ethan and Krystal wanted to drag the rest of the club members out to an arcade or ice rink on the weekend, just days before he disappeared

They made plans for a Christmas party that also worked for his birthday

Birthday... right his birthday was coming up, wasn't it?

It was never such a big deal until those two found out

Syrus couldn't help but smile to himself, the pressure on his side easing up

His own birthday never meant much to him but he made sure to at least do something for the other club members

Wheather it be a card, something he tried making at the cafe the night before or just allowing them to make any reasonable request of him

It was... nice to see them enjoy a day to call their own even though, realistically, it wasn't like that in the slightest

He held the SD card a bit tighter as he looked to the broken device just feet away from him

Dark splotches were clouding his vision and he was feeling more tired than he was before

He can only hold on for so long

Just a moment more

Just a day

An hour

A minute

A single second

...

He hopes that he sent Krystal those photos

[hiddentuliplodge]

I offer to hug everyone in the lodge! Even the ones I don't know because I'm not an a-hole! And I give the ones who accept it a kiss on the cheek. What do they do? If any of them don't want to be hugged, it's ok, I respect their choice ^^

( This kind of goes above my usual character limit.... buuuuut I’m a huge sucker for hugs so let’s do it!!! it wouldn’t let me tag everything so heads up for that and before we start- a small trigger warning!! For those of you sensitive to cursing there is a little language ahead! Be careful lovelies. )

-The Muns-

Mun Morgana- ” A tall order you’ve set up for yourself hun, but I think we’re up for the challenge~! ” she’s quick to hug you back, even spinning you a little. She blushes a little at the kiss on the cheek, laughing softly as she shoo’s you off. ” Good luck hun! ”

Mun!Fell- “ Oh what the hell, cm’ere. “ she grabs your arm and yanks you into a hug, letting you go quickly so she doesn’t break anything. When you kiss their cheek, she flinches, almost reflexively balling her fists. She quickly apologizes and sends you along.

Mun!Swap- She regards you for a moment, before opening her arms to you theatrically. “ Of course you can have a hug darling! “ she lightly wraps her arms around you, but politely turns down the kiss on the cheek.

Mun!Swapfell- She hugs you immediately, and tightly, as if she were about to fall. She fidgets slightly, a habit she hasn’t broken yet, and only pulls away when you do. When you kiss her cheek, she hides in her hair, murmuring a quiet, “ Thank you... “.

-Undertale-

Undertale!Sans- He accepts the hug, but instead of hugging you back, he kind of falls into your arms lazily. You have to remind him to use his spine so he doesn’t fall when you pull away. The kiss on the cheek surprises him, and he carefully places his hand over the spot, smiling dazedly.

Undertale!Papyrus- He barely gives you time to offer the hug before he scoops you up into his arms, giving you a hug that genuinely sweeps you off of your feet. When you peck his cheek his eyelights sparkle, ‘ mweh-heh-heh ‘-ing happily as he sets you back down.

Underfell!Sans- He tenses at the hug, lightly patting your back as he seems to look around for guidance. He sighs softly and relaxes when you pull away, pulling his coat tighter around him as he hides his reddened face. He declines the cheek kiss.

Underfell!Paps- He has to kneel to be at your height, rambling off some grandiose speech about his generosity in letting you hug him and blah blah blah. It gets to the point where you have to use the hug and cheek kiss simultaneously just so he’ll stop talking and you can move on.

Underswap!Sans- Accepts the hug happily, hugging you back and chatting the entire time. He falls into you a bit like his original counterpart, but unlike him, he pulls away without an issue. Blushes the brightest out of all of them at the cheek kiss.

Underswap!Papyrus- Basically the same reaction as Undertale!Sans, but due to his height he almost completely steamrolls over you. Smiles lazily at the cheek kiss, and is the first to offer one in return!

Swapfell!Sans- Declines, but with a high amount of class, stating that one has to be brave and daring enough to gain his companionship before making such bold requests.

Swapfell!Papyrus- Accepts the hug almost immediately, this touch starved bean hugging onto you tightly and for a beat or two longer after you let go. He winks and makes a sly comment when you offer to kiss his cheek, but he accepts it just as eagerly.

Mafia!Sans- He gives you a lazy smirk, rattling off some cheesy joke as he hugs you back. He also accepts the cheek kiss, complete with a little extra teasing. “ ay, you needin’ a favor or somethin’? “

Mafia!Papyrus- He’s a little more careful, knowing how fragile humans are, but who is he to turn down a hug? This beanpole has to stoop down to accept the cheek kiss, but makes up for it by letting you wear his hat.

Outertale!Sans- He actually can’t accept the hug. He’s somehow floating near the rafters and can’t hear you past his own snores. Maybe try again later.

Outertale!Papyrus- His magic isn’t as strong so he just hovers, making his height over you that much more pronounced. He picks you up, making you feel taller than you have before as he hugs you instead. He still accepts the cheek kiss.

Horrortale!Sans- Refuses.

Horrortale!Papyrus- Is more surprised you would even offer than anything. He hunkers down, being the tallest of the skelebro’s, letting you hug him but not hugging back out of fear he might somehow hurt you. He accepts the kiss, but quietly asks for you to kiss his forehead, since he cheekbones are pretty sharp.

-Off! By Mortis Ghost-

The Batter- Responds with a stiff no. He’s got a mission to fulfill, and hugging you won’t help to advance him towards that goal.

The Judge- “ How delightful! You wish to extend an offer of a friendly embrace to me. I happily accept, but as my genetics hasn’t of yet graced me with a pair of arms fit to return your gesture, allow me to offer my sincerest purrs of gratitude. “ You probably wouldn’t offer to kiss this little kitten’s cheek, they’re kind of fluffy.

-Beetlejuice the Musical-

Beetlejuice- He grins manically at your offer, nodding excitedly. His arms extend as he hugs you, wrapping around you about three times each. His eyes glint mischievously as he gets an idea, and retracts them just as fast, making you spin like a top. He catches you before you can fall though, and accepts the kiss on the cheek to make up for it.

-Hazbin Hotel-

Angel Dust- “ Ah, usually I charge for this kind of thing but, what the hell~? Just don’t go tellin’ everyone, ‘kay shnuckums? “ he hugs you back, ruffling your hair as the other four arms wrap around you snugly. Even he can’t help but smile at the cheek kiss, however.

Husk- “ Eh, Sorry kid, I’m not much of a ‘ hug ‘ person. “

-Mark and Ego’s-

Markiplier- He returns the hug with a snug one of his own, lightly chatting with you as chica nuzzles against your leg. He turns down the cheek kiss out of respect for Amy, but offers to sign something for you instead.

Dark- He hums, considering the offer from all angles. After a few moments, he nods, smirking slightly as he hugs you as well, thinking about the different angels this might help him with. He considers the cheek kiss with the same cautiousness, and accepts it with some silver-tongued reply.

-Jack and Ego’s-

Jacksepticeye- He hugs you like he fuckin’ means it, because the Gaelic gladiator doesn’t believe in half-assing anything. He chats with you a bit, politely declining the cheek kiss but letting you hold his cat, Big Boss.

Antisepticeye- Laughs like a maniac, surprised you’d want to hug someone as unhinged as he is. But, who is he to deny you your entertainment? He lets you hug him, which is kind of hard because bits and pieces of him keep glitching out of the way. He accepts the cheek kiss as well, although it comes with the same difficulty.

-Black Butler-

Sebastian- He smirks slightly at your offer, his eyes crinkling in amusement, but he accepts the hug like a true gentleman. He accepts the cheek kiss as well, and charmingly offers one in return, as well as a dance.

Mey-Rin -Blushes incredibly darkly the entire time, stammering over every word as her hands shake the slightest bit. She accepts the hug, but nervously avoids the kiss on the cheek, saying that her poor heart couldn’t handle it.

||The vampire's curse: Chapter Seventeen ||

Hi everyone! This is Deamon-mun with chapter seventeen of Vampire's Curse written by @the-silver-peahen-residence. Peahen rps Yuta and Maki, I rp Junpei, and Rioto from @demonsofoda. Check out previous parts!

Chapter 15

Chapter 16 --- Warning ----

This is a short drabble!

Fear of Needles

Mosquitos

PSTD

------- Chapter Summary -----

Rioto is working on himself to gain Yuta's trust. But first things first, he had to address the root of his fear. The Mosiquto Curse. Then there are other problems concerning Taz.

------

"Mosqiuto Curse..." Junpei begins. "I remember that mission all right. It was a tough one. It started in the outskirts of Nagoya. The countryside. In a village plagued by disease and the local clinic is having issues. Something about infection that made the curse.." Junpei thinks back to that day. "All I know is...that you took care of that while we're taking care of its shinigami and making sure to gather all of the shinigami in one place so we can take them down all in one hit. You didn't tell us what happened with the boss..did you?"

"I didn't..." Rioto sighs. "I write the report based what I can remember but that's...

"......." "I can...."

"Rioto. It's okay if you don't want to talk. I mean...you look like you don't want to." Junpei assures him, telling him not to push himself. "I know but I have to. It could explain why....I'm like this with Yuta." Rioto begins. "I....whenever I see needles...I step away from them. Moudo is trying to get him to get flu shots, but I didn't want that because of..." "Because of what happened?"

"Yes..." Rioto closes his eyes, rubbing at his arm, but it slowly raises his hand to his shoulder. "That thing.......the curse has a needle for a nose and....has two appendages for fangs...like..." "Like a vampire.." "Yeah, straight out of Alien." Rioto chuckles but it wasn't funny. It was terrifying. "It had two forms...from humanoid to a monster bug on two legs with four long limbs. That thing can talk. It..." Rioto lowers his head, "I....I hate it so much. It was the first time...I thought I was going to die."

Junpei widened his eyes. "Is that why...the entire hospital was..." "Yeah...frozen solid from what Miryu told me," Rioto said as Miryu leads out a soft bleat. "That's why I was afraid of being fed on because I remember it. It wasn't on the neck, it's at the collarbone. Damn bug trying to suck the life out of him, saying that I...ugh...taste good..." Rioto resists the urge not to get sick. "I guess....trying to fight my way to live. I end up freezing the curse, and it spread throughout the floor and...but that's all I know. I think I'll faint when the curse falls apart in front of him. Miryu told me the rest..." He looks up to Miryu, who is staying at his side on the bed

"Yeah. Nobody can get into it. It was super dangerous. Anyone who comes in contact ends up getting frozen or frostbite. I called Fenton about it. Since he's the only one who gets inside. He said that you were sleeping inside an ice crystal, protecting you from the outside." Junpei tells Rioto, the ice sorcerer sighs, rubbing his hands against his face. "Fenton had to use his intangibility to get you out. You were out cold and were sleeping for two days. You needed a blood transfusion on top of that." Junpei recalled.

Rioto nods. "I shouldn't of-" But Junpei interrupts, "Listen, Rioto. Nobody blames you. You went inside for us. Nobody knew the grade of the curse."

"I knew. Miryu told me how strong it is, but I kept on going because the curse had shikigami to suck the life out of everyone in the village. If I waited more time for backup, then...then...then...everyone dies. What that mosquito did in the apartment building...was just the start...I...I..."

"Rioto, I think this is what Oda means by...doing things yourself. You worried about everyone else but yourself. You worried if you failed, then...you assume the worst, and if you worried that you didn't do something, you feel guilty." Junpei takes note of the pattern. He understands what Oda talks about.

"So what should I do?" Rioto said.

"Like I said...you need to offload some of that and leave some of us to us. I am your second after all. I delegate the tasks to which person is suited best. I am the president of the film club." He tells him. "That's the job you gave me. That even includes Yuta too."

Rioto nods, "Right." "Are you planning to tell Yuta that?" He asked. Rioto is conflicted by this question, "I-I don't know...it's a stupid thing and-"

"It's not stupid. I think Yuta would understand if you told the reason involving your stressful experience with the Mosquito curse."

"Yeah, but that makes sound like....ugh...I don't know...it's just..it's like I am equating vampires to mosiqutos. It feels wrong to imply that!" Rioto groans, racking his head.

"I don't think Yuta would take that way! I mean...you fed him blood by finger so that's something."

"Yeah, but...what if..." "Just start small, Rioto. Remember the Post-it notes." Junpei reminds him. Rioto nods, "Right....anyway...I have to cook something for dinner for myself before Yuta gets back. I know he won't be here but...I am going to make him something small just in case. I can leave a note there."

"Good idea," Junpei said. "If you ever wanted to, I can give you tips, but again..I'm not holding your hand here." "Understood."

------

Taz is in a constant fight. Trying to take control of her body. She needs to do something. Surely, Mob can read her mind. Unless...the vampire that made the curseblood vampire cursed her not to speak or do anything.

Mob is right, something is blocking her from communicating verbally and telepathically.

Taz needs to think. Think really hard. She tried to communicate using the tapping of her fingers, but she wasn't sure if they got that. She needs to do something. How can she deal with this? If her older sister, Kinie, is in this situation. What would she do? Wait.... Taz thinks. She has powers similar to hers. Her kinfolk. Her sense of smell. Her strength. Her agility. Her technique. And also...Dream Feeder. Dream Feeder! That's it. If she sleeps and activates it, she can deal with the curseblood preventing her from speaking. She just needs to sleep. She needs to go to her innate domain. Taz closes her eyes now.

...........

With her eyes closed, she reopens to the world of sunset sky with green tall grass and trees. The birds are chirping and such. She's inside a rainforest and goes to traverse the area. She doesn't know how Dream Feeder works. But she knows the purpose of it. Dream Feeder is to feed on the dreams of sorcerers and their cursed energy, passively. Giving them nightmares, making them weaker, and having their will waver.

"Okay...." Taz said, happy to hear her own voice in her innate domain. "I need to find a way to do this. How would Kinie use her extended technique to enter people's dreams? Hmmm..." She thinks really hard. If she remembers correctly, it's by touch. Kinie marks them using her hands or her kinfolk marking them, cursing them.

Taz hasn't marked the curseblood who cursed her. But...would it work if it's the opposite? It has to be, right? Time to put it to the test. Now the question is, how? She needs to find the path that leads to the curseblood. Several quolls are scurrying around. On the ground, on the trees, and underground, searching for the inverse mark imprinted on Taz. It took time, but a squeak is heard. Taz tracks down the quoll and finally finds it. A tear. The mark that was on her body when she was inflicted. This must be it. Taz goes to touch it.

A bright red light glows.

Don't worry, guys! I am going to break out of this and make it just in time to help! Taz said to herself with determination before being transported to the mind of the curseblood.

------

After making and eating dinner, he writes something on a blue Post-it note before placing the covered dish inside the fridge. The note on the covered dish that says

Hey. I made you something light. Hope you like it - R.K

Rioto goes inside his room and texts Junpei as he did before falling asleep. Maybe somewhere along the way, Rioto can build up the courage to tell Yuta why he's acting like this and how he, Rioto do better...

To be continued...

[the-silver-peahen-residence]

Hi there! I read your drabble with Sukuna and Kinie and I loved it! Can you write another one like when one of Sukuna's enemies dared to harm her. And he would be a raging angry boss.

((Hi there dear, hope your doing well this evening. Also, I'm happy you liked it! But I can write another one for you so just give me a moment please.))

((Also again Kinie ger belongs to my wonderful friend @demon-blood-youths ))

Silver butterfly mun/Peahen mom

The guards were nervous unsure of how to tell Sukuna this when he was just done with a meeting. How mad do they think he will get when hearing this? Or how badly they would have to beg him not to kill them for this. With a gulp, they knock to wait for him to answer.

"Come in.." hearing his calm voice, they open the door seeing Sukuna with his followers after a meeting. He seems so happy right now but he looks seeing his guards.

"Oh, it's you two. Is their something you need to report to me?" he said but he seems happy though the guards were scared knowing that would change.

"Y...Yes sir. We ummm..have some news regarding one enemy.." he said but Sukuna blinks to wait as the guards stood there.

"Yes?"

"..W..Well..." that goes to them explaining what happened. The others were silent hearing this but Sukuna's eyes widen hearing the report and his followers were silent. In a moment, the guards looks to Sukuna but they felt their faces pale seeing the calm boss now having a dark radiant anger of energy from his body.

"S...sir?"

"........." Not saying a word, he goes to Kinie's room to check on her. The guards along with his followers follow him but they knew the enemy fucked up.

In a moment, the guards saw Sukuna already in the room but he was sitting by a tired but bandaged up Kinie. He was gently caressing her cheek worried as she was knocked out. He was told she got attacked by his enemies trying to take her to be sold but thanks to Uruame he got her away from the fuckers.

"Lord Sukuna, she hasn't suffered anything serious..but they did try to kidnap her sir.." He said but Sukuna said nothing to see her but he didn't like seeing her this hurt. He hated it! How dare those assholes harm his princess!

Growling deeply in anger, he stood up but looks at the window. "......You two.." the guards tense hearing the fury in his voice. "Which one harmed my princess?" he said.

"...W...we......we are unsure. We didn't know know or see how but-"

"..You fucking idiots don't know!?" he said but Uruame clears his throat.

"I know who. It was the yakuza gang in the north my lord. They were trying to re drug her again to take her away......" he said but Sukuna looks more angry that he only flexed his hand ready to slatter them. In a moment, he looks to turn but the guards move out his way seeing the murder look in his red eyes.

"......I'll be back. Uruame. Stay here and keep watch of her. I'll be back.." he growls to leave but the guards were scared almost wetting themselves. Uruame knew he was angry right now but he didn't blame him. Not when finding out one of his enemies harmed what he cared about. For now, he goes to keep watch on Kinie for him.

"You two go and get some warm food and tea for Kinie.."he said as the two leave.

~~~~~~Later that night~~~~~~~

The enemy of Sukuna were angry they lost the target but they would try again knowing where she was. The leader was furious wanting to have Kinie to himself but they had to get pass the king of curses or the boss of the world.

"I can't believe you idiots failed in getting her here! i need to get her away from him then I can make her my toy. She seems perfect with the drugs we could inject her with." he looks to the new drugs with some of his own followers wondering who.

"I'm sure next time we will sir." One said as the boss knew that. They can get her again. It was just a matter of time of course. However, as they were planning, a explosion was heard making the leader tense. What the hell was that!? He got his answer hearing screams of terror but hearing some being killed from the blood that hits the walls and glass.

"!?" Some of his followers stood wondering what the hell was going on but that's when the door got smashed down by another guard who lost his head! It was ripped off it seems leaving the body there. The leader tenses seeing the blood gushing out from the stub of the neck before hearing footsteps.

They looked through the door to see bodies hanging everywhere or some being torn apart. Burned and unrecognizable for anyone. Heck, he even had some with their heads hanging on metal spikes.

"......You assholes have a lot of fucking nerve to harm my girl?" said a cold voice seeing the others now afraid. A blood covered Sukuna ryomen was holding a dead body that was scorched but he was killing everyone that dared harm his Kinie.

"W..what the fuck!?" he shouted seeing his followers about to aim and shoot but he waves his hand to have their heads cut clean off. The leader shook seeing blood spilling everywhere to the bodies falling to the ground. That's when Sukuna walks inside but he looks angry to the leader who backs up.

When Sukuna got close, he grabs the leader by the throat to start strangling him that the other chocked kicking his feet. "You should have stayed away from my princess you dog...no one..and I mean No one harms my princess..I don't give a shit who you are..I won't let you live after what your goons did to her." he said glaring that the other was scared.

"W..wait spare me please! We can make a deal! I can pay you! Just let me go!" he said but all Sukuna did was laugh strangling him even worse that his eyes were wide foaming at the mouth.

"Oh now you ask for that..well too bad. I can't spare you because you dare harm her...you end up dead.." he growls before the leader screams in pure fear before he was killed. Seeing the leader now dead, Sukuna would have this place burned down along with the bodies too then turns to head back.

Later that night, Kinie was awake after being treated but she was hugging a blanket around her body worried about Sukuna but during that time, she tenses hearing the door open to show Sukuna. He was cleaned of blood but he came to her.

"S..Sukuna?"

"My princess..you are awake. How are you feeling?" he asked walking in but goes to sit down by her that Kinie looks down at the floor.

"Sore but..I'm alright....where were you? Are you-"

"I'm fine princess but I'm more worried of making sure your alright." he touches her cheek but Kinie relaxed from his touch. She felt calm and safe still to close her eyes.

"I'm alright....but...." She remembers what happened today but Sukuna knew to sigh.

"Don't think about it too much princess. They are taken care of so they won't harm you ever again. I won't let another dare try it again." he said. "Though, I'll be sure one of my more trusted followers is with you if you wish to head out to the city. Seems I can't trust my guards just yet."

"...I'm sorry..I got curious but.....I'm sorry-"

"Shhhhh you are fine but you'll have someone to keep you safe. I have too many enemies but most don't dare try anything unlike those idiots. So instead, I'll be sure your by my side so I can keep protecting you. I don't want you to be hurt like that again...my princess." he said but as he said this, Kinie looks to him when he gently picks her up to sit her on his lap to hug her close. His cheek nuzzling the top of her black hair. He even slips a gentle kiss to her forehead saying he wished he was there to kill them before they harmed or lays a hand on her.

"I'm sorry my princess. I'll find a way to owe you back for this...but you just rest for me..I'm here now." he said still holding her in his arms gently.

She blinks to look down but she relaxed against his chest as he held her. Sukuna was happy to have her back and is safe. He knew she can fight but she was still recovering. For now, he would insure she stays safe even if it means he would be by her side no matter what.

Alrighty then~ would you be willing to do your soulmate au of choice and Romano's reaction to finding his soulmate..? If you don't know of any or don't want to do pick one, may I suggest not being able to see colors until you see your soulmate or a little red string on their pinkies connecting..? Have a nice day mun

I personally love the “first words on the body” soulmate au.  It’s a classic.  Also I wrote this as a fic.

Oh God, It’s You | A Romano x Female s/o Fic

Lovino hated the words that had appeared on his arm, more than anything in this goddamn world.  He hated them more than that German freak his little brother was dating, he hated them more than Antonio’s laziness.  Hell, he hated them more than deep dish bullshit America tried to call pizza.  He couldn’t understand how his words made sense!  Even his brother, the little romantic, couldn’t make sense of them.

The Italian was grumbling away as he walked into a coffee shop following a meeting with his boss - telling him how he needed to learn to manage his “attitude problem”.  Yeah, like he had an attitude problem!  He huffed and crossed his arms, waiting impatiently for his turn to order.  Once he reached the counter, he placed his typical order and trotted off to the side to wait.  He caught a glimpse of the black typewriter print mostly hidden behind his sleeve, and angrily tugged at his shirt to hide it all away.  He didn’t even care anymore!  He just wanted his damn coffee, so he could go home, and get away from all these damn people!

His name was called, and he approached the counter to get his coffee.  He got a little pushy with some starched-shirt asshole talking on his phone, right in front of the pick up window.  The man cursed at him, but Lovino didn’t care.  He grabbed his drink, and he was almost away from all these dicks when -

“Shit fucking shit!”  Lovino looked down at his shirt, the coffee he just got spilled down the left side.  He stomped his foot, wiping away as much of the liquid as he could.  He was only halfway paying attention when the person who ran into him spoke.  His hands froze, eyes going wide as he stood completely still.  He could feel the color drain from his face as the person he ran into sighed loudly.

“Oh god, it’s you.”  He quickly snapped to look at the girl he’d stumbled into. She was shorter than he was, which was saying something, and she had long (y/h/c) hair and (y/s/c) skin.  Her cheeks were red, and her face showed her surprise.  She was wearing just a simple sundress, and the words were as clear as day on her right wrist.

Shit, fucking shit!

Lovino slowly looked at his own words - the ones that had been haunting him for years.  Oh god, it’s you.  The words suddenly made sense.  He looked over at her, struggling to find what to say.  People were staring.  She kept eyeing her wrist, then glancing back at Lovino.  Eventually, he came to his senses, and his heritage kicked in.  He smiled, jokingly making a finger gun.

“I bet your parents hate that those are the words you ended up with, huh?  I assure you, I can make a much better first impression, if you’re interested.”

When she smiled, Lovino smiled right back.  It seemed his day was suddenly taking a turn for the better.

[ask-tobey-mccallister-iii]

Glad you could join us! And don't be confused by appearance of the people you meet. They aren't who you think they are. In any way, did Cheshire give you a way out? If not you could always get lost. She always seems to show up when your lost. I know what your thinking, and no, it's not unusual for us to disappear. I do all the time. Also, peice of advice, if you meet the queen, don't make her mad. *disappears* ~Ebony~

(Mun: Wonderland M!A ask 4/5)

“‘Aren’t who I think they are?’” Tobey repeated. “But-”

Once Ebony disappeared, he jumped in his seat.

He looked to Becky, or, rather, the Mad Hatter, and shouted, “Did you see that?!”

The Hatter and Bob burst out laughing. “You can’t see what’s gone, silly! Why, that’s completely absurd, isn’t it, March Hare?”

Bob nodded so fast his fake rabbit ears almost fell off his head.

Just then, the teapot in front of the Hatter rattled. The top slipped off and out popped….

“Doctor Two-Brains?!” Tobey said, his eyes widening.

The doctor was the size of an actual mouse, dressed in a pudgy-looking mouse suit to boot. This seemed to bring on another bout of laughter from both Becky and Bob.

The doctor yawned and glanced up at Tobey with bleary eyes. “Huh? Doctor? No…I’m the Door Mouse.”

The Hatter snorted. “The Door Mouse? A doctor? Can you imagine?” she asked, turning to Bob.

Bob fell to the floor, clutching his stomach.

The Door Mouse glared at the two of them. “Hey, you two. I’m tryin'a sleep here! Geez, what’s a mouse gotta do?”

“Indeed, what?” Becky asked, resting her head in a hand. She seemed to calm down at last. “Perhaps a song?”

Tobey straightened in his seat. He had never heard Becky sing before.

She waved at Bob. “March Hare?”

Bob got onto the table and squeaked a tune. Becky hummed along, tapping her fingers in time with his squeaking. 

Soon enough, Doctor Two-Brains fell asleep again. He hung right over the edge of the teapot, snoring away.

“Alright, now!” Becky’s eyes flickered back to Tobey. “Would you like to celebrate your merry unbirthday with us?”

“It’s not my….” He paused. “Wait, ‘unbirthday’? But…that’s not a word, Becky.”

“‘Not a word’? Well, I said it, didn’t I?” she retorted and took a long sip of her tea.

“Yes, but-”

“Well then!” she shouted, slamming her cup down onto its saucer. She had an almost crazed gleam in her eye. “A very merry unbirthday to you! And me! And you!” She pointed to Bob, and he doubled over laughing.

“But what is an unbirthday?” Tobey asked, exasperated.

“It’s every day that isn’t your birthday,” Becky said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. “Geez, Tobey, I thought you were a boy genius.”

“I am a boy genius!” he grumbled. “It’s just….” He narrowed his eyes. “Wait, you called me ‘Tobey’ just now. I don’t think I properly introduced myself to you, Hatter.”

She and Bob exchanged glances then burst out laughing once more. “Everyone in Wonderland knows who you are, Tobey. Why, you’re a regular Alice.”

“A regular what?”

“C’mon!” she shouted, shoving a cup of tea in his hand. “We must celebrate our unbirthdays together!”

Tobey stared down at his tea with a raised eyebrow. “Well, if you insist, my dear, I suppose I must, mustn’t I?” he said with a hint of a smile on his face. “I propose a toast to our merry unbirthdays then.”

“A very merry unbirthday to you then!” Becky said and rose her cup. Bob squeaked and followed her example.

After a few peaceful moments of drinking tea, Becky got up to sit beside him. “Are you enjoying our little party?” She smiled at him over the arm of her chair and rest her chin on her hands.

Tobey found that, despite her rather odd clothes and behavior, she still looked as enchanting as ever. His eyes darted away. “I am. What of it?” 

He mentally cursed himself for snapping at her, but she didn’t seem bothered by it. “That’s good. Care for a riddle, then?” There was a challenge in her eyes as her smile grew.

He couldn’t help but return the smile. “Why not? I’m sure I’ll be able to solve it easily.”

She leaned just a little closer. “Oh, I doubt it. I hardly know the answer myself.”

Tobey’s confusion must have been plain on his face because she let a few snorts rip through her laughter. “Alright,” she said after calming down. “How is a raven like a writing desk?”

He opened his mouth then, after coming up with nothing, reluctantly shut it again. After a few more moments, he crossed his arms and slunk in his seat. “Well, if you don’t know, how am I supposed to?” he grumbled.

“Because you’re a boy genius.”

She had said it with such conviction, he turned to stare incredulously at her. Her expression was so fiercely serious then, it almost made him blush.

Tobey looked away. “Hmph. It’s about time you admitted it. …Even if this place isn’t real.”

She tilted her head. “Not real?” Becky laughed. “You’ve got some mad notions, that’s for sure. And I should know.”

Suddenly, Tobey began to feel antsy. This wasn’t real, so why was he indulging in this nonsensical tea party? Ebony had said these people weren’t who he thought they were, so what was the point?

He stood up, refusing to look at the Hatter. “This has been nice, but I’m afraid I must go. I need to find my way home. Do you know how I can get there?”

“Well, the Red Queen might help you. That is, if you catch her in the right mood.”

Tobey furrowed his eyebrows. “She sounds rather volatile. Are you sure I should ask her for help?”

“Well, if you don’t ask, you’ll never know!” Becky replied, and Bob nodded.

“I suppose you’re right.” He brushed himself off then dared look over at the Hatter once more. “Do you know where I might find her?”

“I can help with that,” a familiar, soft voice called out to him from above.

They all looked up, and Becky and Bob smiled. “Ah, Cheshire Cat! Excellent timing! Are you going to celebrate your unbirthday with us today?”

“Not today,but thank you for the offer anyway, Hatter,” Violet said as she swirled around in the air.

“So, Vi…. Er, Cheshire Cat.” Tobey cleared his throat and started again. “Where might I find the Red Queen?”

“Well, you could try over there. “She pointed to the left. “Or…over there.” She pointed to the right.

Tobey scowled. “This again? You’re no help at all.”

Becky and Bob laughed at this.

“But I personally would take the shortcut,” she finished. With a dramatic flourish of her hands, Violet somehow made a portion of a nearby tree’s trunk open like a door. Tall shrubs lined the inside of an area that led to a beautiful palace beyond.

“Oh. Right. The…shortcut,” Tobey muttered. He glanced up to thank her, but Violet had already disappeared.

I should have expected something like that….

He turned to Becky and Bob one last time. “Goodbye, Hatter. March Hare.”

Right as he turned to leave, however, another voice grumbled, “Hey, what about me?”

Doctor Two-Brains frowned at him over the rim of the teapot.

“I didn’t think you were awake,” Tobey admitted.

“Well, I am now because somebody decided they were too good to say goodbye to me.”

Tobey made a face. “Oh for Pete’s sake, goodbye, Two-Brains, you pesky mouse.”

“And good night!” Two-Brains added before curling up inside the teapot and shutting the lid over himself.

Tobey spared one last glance at the Mad Hatter and threw her a wry smile. “I’ll try to figure out why a raven is like a writing desk for you, Hatter,” he said as a sort of farewell.

Her face brightened. “Will you really?”

“I mean…if it’s that important to you….” He coughed and quickly turned away.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me, my dear, I must be going.” Tobey whirled back to the strange portal and went through without once looking back.

[the-silver-peahen-residence]

Jaron Jackal (Sanity status): 97% (Hasn't changed but dropping very slowly)

Status: In danger

Melinda Brooks (Sanity status): 94% (Hasn't changed/trying to stay calm)

Status: In danger

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They say things are unclear to what happened but the area seems like a dead zone right now. No one was in sight, not a single sound heard on the streets. Lights flickering or some just broken. It was....

Empty.

However, maybe not fully empty. True, living begins like humans and other residence were not seen but their was other living creatures walking among this area. Right now, two people were still traveling around in order to get away from here. And as soon as possible given the dangers of this section.

Right now, Jaron Jackal, a member of the DBT, was being very very very quiet walking forward as he was holding a flashlight in his left hand. However, he had a traveler's back pack on him (He found it in a destroyed building he woke up in), he looked a mess even with him just walking forward. He had a cleaver sword on his hip but he was only able to hear the footsteps of his shoes.

However, he was not along. Melinda Brooks, member of the Cursed vixens, was holding his hand tightly as she was also very very very quiet. She also had a traveler's bag hanging on her side. She had a gun but she also looked a mess. However, their was a bandage on her left arm that was coated in some dry old blood. She was a little nervous being on the streets again but they had to keep moving before the 'new' residence found them.

As the two keep walking, it was dark in the area they were in. All they remember was It used to be the Bronx where both fractions The knights of Darkness and the Shallow Butterflies lived. However, both him and her were here doing some shopping or getting some things and bumped into the leaders before their world went dark and passed out.

Both Jaron and Melinda were out for a while but woke up in some building seeing what happened. The only disturbing part of all this? When waking up, the room they woke up in had some things here. A traveler's back pack, a traveling bag, flashlights, two weapons with some supplies.

Jaron and Melinda were confused to what happened but they found out what it was when seeing something on the wall followed by a disgusting smell. Melinda uses the flashlight to point forward to see something on the wall.

"Don't make a single sound. Don't look into their view of sight, don't gaze into their eyes, their shy. Avoid the eyes...avoid their eyes. Because if you don't............"

The message didn't end seeing a blood hand print going down as Melinda grips the flashlight she found during that time and lowers it to see the last part and it was beside something that made the two feel sick. Eyes were wide in horror seeing what was in front of them.

"You. Will. Die."

A person was laying near it, dead. Their body was gourde out, stomach ripped open and peeled to the side. Their organs spilled around them in a pool of blood. Their face bared deep gashes from something along with the right side of their head visible showing the skull and their brain missing. A arm was bitten off from the elbow and a leg gone from the torso. Little maggots were seen on the body that Jaron covers his mouth feeling like he was going to throw up while Melinda was crying growing terrified. What happened here!? What was going on!?

They couldn't even tell who this was. The body was there for a while now given the flies buzzing around the body that Melinda and Jaron was too afraid to say a single word seeing the corpse.

".........."

"........"

This only told them one thing. This was not a safe place to be. They looked to one another at the time but when seeing this message before hearing something in the hallway. Being quick, they got the items in the room and hurries outside out of this place.

Which lead to right now.

So far, Jaron and Melinda didn't find any other living person but the message still remains in their minds. Something was walking around the sidewalks and streets right now. But they keep looking forward but avert their gaze to be careful.

In a bit, both Jaron and Melinda slowly stops before getting out the map.

'D..Do you think we are close to a safe place t..to hide?' Melinda whispered to Jaron softly but it was to avoid being heard. He looks to the map but frowns slightly.

'I don't know. Right now, we seem to be here. If we can head out of the Bronx we can find some help..and maybe the others.' he whispered back. Folding the map up, Jaron looks around seeing the streets still empty in the destroyed buildings and stores. 'But we can't stay here. We gotta keep moving..' he said to her but Melinda understood ready to keep walking.

So the Jackal and Lung dragon kept walking staying close to one another to insure they didn't get separated from one another. It was very dangerous to be out right now even if it's the afternoon, it was dark here; very hard to see. Maybe the monsters hate the sun and has some barrier around the Bronx to shield the sun light. For now, they didn't question it.

The two keeps walking still not saying anything but as Jaron keeps walking a sudden noise was heard. He stops hearing it and made Melinda stop.

'J..Jaron? What wrong? What did y-Mfffmm!?'

He quickly covers her mouth to stop her talking worried, a finger held up to his lips.

'Shhhhhhhhhhhh....'

Melinda blinks looking scared as he looks forward again. He saw something close to the flashlight. Something was in front of them. A weird groaning chocking like noise was heard. A pair of black wrinkly like feet is seen, toes that looked like thorns was seen. It had to be some humanoid because of their bodies but as much as he didn't move he made sure Melinda didn't look up. This made Melinda's eyes widen. Did this mean.........

Being terrified, Jaron didn't look up remembering the message but he lowers his flashlight slowly as the thing was still in front of them. However, he heard a lot more near by scuffling their feet.

Don't make a sound.

Avoid the eyes.

Avoid their gaze.

Don't look at them in the eyes.

His heart was beating fast in his chest, making him almost wanna throw up. He felt his palms sweaty that he slowly looks to move back keeping his eyes down. However, this thing was looking down at Jaron, heavily breathing down on him as he didn't move nor looked up. The breath smelled really really bad but something was dripping near his feet of red.

Blood. It was dripping blood before he felt a drop of sweat roll down his face. They had to go hide somewhere or get away from here. He had to calm down, he had to focus and lot lose it. one wrong move and both her and him will be killed.

He heard more heavy deep breathing from this thing but in a moment, the thing had something moving around the two. Melinda didn't move nor did he that is till Melinda heard a squish like noise that something cold, slimy, and slipper was touching or wrapping around her ankle. She shuddered in disgust from the feeling but she didn't look up or move. Was the others surrounding them!? She didn't wanna move she was crying too scared to move.

It felt so gross on her skin that she wanted to make it let go but she didn't care move a single muscle. Now they get the feeling more of this things were panting and breathing around Jaron and Melinda almost like they were going to eat the two. However, that's when they heard a noise to make the two tense.

The things around them heard it too, looking to the side as they move away to find where the noise was. However, the one holding Melinda's leg lets go leaving some slime on her leg and ankle. Hearing the scuffling of feet going away, Jaron lets out a slow shaky breath but looks to see Melinda crying. Looking around, he saw another hiding spot and goes to hide right away. He sees that they were hiding behind something now staying quiet but Jaron panted feeling his heart beating like crazy with Melinda shaking in tears.

Looking to her, he carefully looks to her. 'Are you...okay?' he whispered but she had no answer.

'Melinda?'

'...........'

Jaron heard nothing from her but he didn't blame her. One of those things touched her after all. She slowly felt her body shaking from that. Jaron frowns from this but was careful to touch her shoulder.

'Melinda...I...'

Suddenly, a scream is heard making two jump as they heard running and something of a gun shot near by. Someone was alive maybe????? Jaron and Melinda look hearing the shouting but that's when they look seeing it was a civilian! A male was there trying to kill the things in this hell world!

"STAY BACK! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAKS!" he shouted trying to shoot them but all the shouting and gun shots just angered the things. Jaron wanted to help the person or make them stop but the noise would draw attention to him and Melinda.

As the man kept shooting, that's when he aims looking at the things eyes about to fire. That's when something suddenly hits the man but he got knocked down. He winces seeing his gun fall somewhere on the side but the man tries to grab it only for him to be surrounded now.

"!?" He looks up seeing the monsters that roam the Bronx that he crawls back terrified.

"St...stay back! Stay back!" he said afraid but as he crawls away, a sicking scream was heard hearing some squelching like crush as he screams worse. Jaron covers Melinda's head as she was shaking hearing the terrible noise. The same raspy breathing is heard when one of the 'shy ones'.

The 'Shy ones' are humanoid creatures that used to be living people here in the Bronx but it's like they were mutated into something worse. Almost like a sickness. Their bodies are pitch black, rubbery, and wrinkly. They have growing limps that can stretch pretty long. Extra mouths seen from the limbs while their faces well......no one cay what about the faces. All someone knows is their eyes glow a light misty color since they can't stand the sunlight but they can't see well either. Only is attracted to the noise and someone looking at them dead in the face or eyes. Some look deformed or some were missing things from the body.

One of these 'Shy ones' started walking over and had the same limbs wrapping around the body. The two heard the chocking of the civilian but they got thrown to the large trash can they were hiding behind. It jolts a bit from the impact but Jaron looks quiet hearing the man coughing.

"P..Please...let me go! Let me-" Another impact crash is heard.

"STOP IT-" Another crashing noise but something breaks. A bone maybe?

"STOP!!!!" Another. Another cracking noise.

"STOP IT!! SOMEONE HELP ME!! HELP!!!" More and more and more. Jaron and Melinda didn't move nor say a word that the two were shutting their eyes not wanting to hear anymore however something got thrown over to hit the wall in front of them with a wet thud. Jaron and Melinda slowly look up seeing something did hit but a trail of blood was seen running towards them.

They saw the person was bleeding with their bones sticking out. They were chocking on their blood, looking like they were dying. They even reached seeing Jaron and Melinda as he was chocking. However, before getting to them...something presses on top of their head and applies pressure.

The man gargles seeing blood and saliva seen from their mouth as the head feels the intense pressure. However, that's when their bodies were twitching from the pain trying to stop this thing from crushing their head till....

CRUNCH!!!

"........" Jaron's eyes widen in true horror seeing these things kill the man. Melinda, who's eyes were now full of tears were wide as well. She covers her mouth as the two sees the things foot get off the head that it groans out. The two didn't move to Jaron turning off the flashlight quickly but that's when the two heard some slithering and squishing wet noises slowly gliding over to the body in front of them. Even if they couldn't see in this darkness they remained still.

Melinda and Jaron didn't move hearing the slimy limbs moving forward, creeping along towards the new source of food. She even tense feeling some limbs slide against her fingers, her leg, even her shoulder. She could feel the sticky wet slime touching her that she was trying not to freak out.

Jaron felt the same but he didn't move, he couldn't. If it feels either one of them, their pull the other way and kill them too. The two just watch hearing the slick noises and some shuffling. These monsters were taking the body or wrapping around the body and started pulling them into the darkness.

"........."

"......."

Jaron and Melinda waited since the limbs were still felt on their bodies but in two minutes those same limbs slowly retracted as they went back to the owners of the monsters. Melinda and Jaron didn't move, didn't speak, nor breath till feeling the limbs now off of their bodies.

The two waited till it was safe to check as Melinda slowly raised a flashlight to turn it on to look in front of her and him.

The corpse was gone but a pool of blood remains and a trail leading back to the street. Melinda was shaking but she slowly exhale a breath to lower the flash light but when she did, something jumps over the other side in front of them. Melinda was about to scream till Jaron covers her mouth stopping it. One finger pressed to his lips worried as she was shaking looking at him. Their eyes were glowing in the dark but he knew she was afraid.

He sees her crying again but the shy one monster was groaning wondering if it left anything.

It even lowers to smell the pool of blood in front of it. However, Jaron saw some limps with teeth slowly inching forward to the two. To double check. Jaron shook even if he glares at the thing keeping Melinda close to him, seeing the mouth inching towards them.

It got closer.....

and closer......

and closer...

So close it was almost close to Jaron's throat wanting to rip into it. He didn't move to gulp keeping still. He made sure Melinda didn't move as it even moves to her while she was shaking still. This monster remains close that it even opens it's mouth to slowly show a black tongue that it slowly licked against their throats.

It felt really gross and sticky but maybe it was making sure it was nothing. The two didn't move nor breathed as it moves away from the two in a moment. Maybe it was not into demons? Groaning, the shy one slowly lowers to start looking for more food.

That is till it heard another noise. Something else was near. Hearing this, the monster lifts up it's body and like a mouse, rushes off into the darkness with the other ones following it.

It was silent again leaving Jaron and Melinda alone once more. When he heard nothing else, he lowers his shaky hand from Melinda's mouth as she was shaking herself. He still felt the sticky slime on their skin but he goes to get something to wipe it off. He wipes off his own neck first quickly since it was already making him feel disturbed.

However, he reaches to touch Melinda but she shook to move away but Jaron stops her as she was struggling.

'Melinda, no calm down. It's alright...were safe..please calm down..' he said in a worried tone not wanting those things to find them again. However, he gets another cloth from her bag and cleans the gunk off her neck. She was sobbing in his arms wanting to leave till he was done. However, when finishing, she was sobbing shaking afraid that Jaron was holding her close.

He gently hushes her rocking back and forth with her hoping to calm her. She was shaking but he grips his shirt sobbing in his shirt. This was a real hellish nightmare and she hated it. However, Jaron was silent himself. He didn't know what to make of what happened. It was too soon......but this told him they had to get off the streets.

'Melinda...listen to me..we have to go. We can't stay here...' he whispered.

'I..I can't..I don't wanna g..go..I can't..I'm too..'

'I know your scared..I'm scared too but if we don't..more of those things will find us..we have to move.' he whispered.

'B..but...'

'I know..we have to go......' he said to her but Melinda was shaking as Jaron slowly stood up with her with Melinda doing the same. They had to keep moving. To get out of this area. But when they took a step a sound of running was heard. Was their another pack!? Jaron was nervous but he saw it had to be. He keeps Melinda behind him ready to fight them if needed be.

As he was ready to fight and defend to protect Melinda, a few flashlights shine on Jaron and Melinda who shield their eyes.

"Wait......Jaron??? Melinda!?"

A familiar voice? Jaron lowers his arm but saw someone walking over worried. He winces seeing the flashlights lowering down that Jaron held his own to see....

"....I..Ink?......"

"Jaron...oh thank god!" Ink found one of her teammates! However, she had Izuku and Bakugo with her since the others were back at the base. Melinda was shaking in tears to see Ink.

"What happened to you two? Are you both alright??? Do you know where-"

'Ink shhhh don't be so loud. The streets in the Bronx isn't safe. We have to leave right now!' he hissed confusing Ink.

"W..what do you mean? What happened Jaron?" Ink asked but before asking, Ink heard some inhuman screeching to make her tense. What the heck was that.

"Ink..I think we need to go.." Izuku said hearing that as Ink shook her head. She'll ask later.

"Right. Jaron and Melinda come on. We can get out this way. Come on." ushering them quickly, the five runs in the same direction Ink and her team came from out of the area of the Bronx.

~~~~~~~~~Later back at the hideout of the DBT~~~~~~~~~~

Time: 7:45pm early evening

Place: On Wyckoff Island/DBT's base/Safehouse

Status: Safe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a few hours, Ink along with Izuku and Bakugo returned back to the DBT base but Ink was happy but also worried. On the happy side, she was able to find one of her team members Jaron who had Melinda with him.

Sadly, however, when getting back, she can see both of them went through one hell of a day today. Even she was shocked seeing what happened to the Bronx.

Right now, she was helping Melinda get washed up right now while Jaron was already washed up and clean. Ink had him lay in his room to rest for a while. But he refused. He couldn't. He didn't want to leave Melinda alone after what happened. Even if Ink asked, it only resulted in Jaron covering his face not wanting to remember. Even if she tries to help him, she only gets sobs in return.

It was too disturbing to remember even when she decided to leave it be. He will tell her when he is ready. However, she was unsure if he ever wanted to talk about it again. What did Jaron and Melinda see? What happened to the Bronx? What happened to Joshua and Ashley along with their fractions?

It's more questions after another one. Right now, Ren along with the six claws saw Ink still helping Melinda right now but she helped her get dressed after being cleaned and lets her stay with Jaron in his room. Right away, she leads Melinda to Jaron's bed so sit down. She looks down shaking again that Jaron carefully held Melinda as Ink saw her start breaking into tears sobbing heavily in the room.

"............"

Ink has never seen Melinda break down like this or Jaron looking so tramatized. Whatever happened in the Bronx..it really mentally scared them. For now, she leaves them alone to recover till they were ready to talk. The six claws waited for Ink to come back when hearing the door close seeing her walking back.

"Well? Are they alright?" Ren asked Ink but she sighed crossing her arms.

"Their......mentally traumatized after what happened today. Melinda just broke down crying after I helped her sit down. And Jaron..He..He didn't even say anything. He just held Melinda close but I saw he was crying too." Ink said.

"Really? That bad?" Denji asked worried that Ink nods.

'Yes. I even heard Jaron muttering under his breath. He kept saying, 'were safe..were safe..were safe...' Ink said really worried.

"What about Melinda?" Rin asked worried.

"............She said nothing. She just just looking at her lap crying heavily...she didn't even look to me when I helped her....even jumped when touching her." Ink mutters.

"Whatever they saw there...this tells it's not safe to be in there right now...but I'm concerned about Joshua and Ashley since it's their area. I don't even know why it's covered in such a dark mist...might be from this goddess lady or whoever.." Ink said.

"It has to be. She did say this is a game to her so she must have done something to that area making it a death zone." Rin said worried. "But..what of the other areas? Do you think she did something worse?"

"....Maybe. We don't know what else but to find out we'll have to travel to those areas to find out..." Atsushi said worried. "But it might take a bit given we can't use our powers or anything to make this easier...we'll have to think of another way to travel around than on foot."

"Well, we got news that we found Jaron safe and alive and the same for Melinda. But we don't know of the cursed vixens. We don't even know of Jinx..." Bakugo said but he hated this. What the hell is going on.

"I don't know..I'm worried about her, my friends, my team. I just hope their alright out there.....I don't want anyone to get killed out there but...we need to think of a plan to make this work..." Ink said then looks to her six claws.

"Right now, we need to see where we are going next and hope to find some others. Or if we are lucky they'll come here to the base. So it's either choice." she sees the men nodding but it's understanding. "Though for now..lets think of a plan first before heading out again....deal?" Ink asked.

"Deal.."

So for now, the Six claws and Ink started thinking of something for a bit before they would rest for that night. However, Jaron was still sitting up in the room looking quiet but he didn't let Melinda go. He just held her close to his chest trying to stay calm. He knew she was shaking crying on his shirt and chest. Yet today was a nightmare.

Their was one thing though, Jaron and Melinda were safe..but this effected them greatly. Now they fear for the worst of what happened to NYC. What of their friends? Melinda's team? His team? Still too many questions. For now, Jaron was sitting up seeing Melinda gripping his shirt not wanting to move but he was carefully humming a soothing tone to help her try to sleep.

She was shaking in his arms right now yet Jaron only held her close. "Were safe Melinda....were safe now...." he said softly to her yet Melinda just cries more shaking in his arms.

Today left a painful memory in the two and it only tells how long it will take them to recover. But rest is needed for the two right now.

Hi there!

Question: What would happen if Sukuna had Ink as a slave? I remember you wrote something like that for a bad end au sooooooo....what if he really made her his slave? Can you write something about it?

((Hello there, hope your well today anon. Hmmm, I do remember writing something like that involving the females being taken by Sukuna but you mean just Ink right? Well, I can try to write something like that if you like. Just a moment. And Van Ink belongs to @demon-blood-youths ))

Silver butterfly mun/Peahen mom

Another day in this hellish world and yet, Ink still hated it. Even after becoming Ryomen's slave she's been trying to find ways to escape from here. To get back to her friends and people she cared about. However, it's been a lot harder to do so after he put another stronger curse on her.

Right now, she was sitting quietly in the room while feeling some servants fixing her up for Sukuna today. She hated how they got her pampered up for him even if she felt more like just a toy. If only she had her great sword wyvern or at least her handgun with her she could blast him in the balls or head to get out of here! When his main follower Uraume was leading her to Sukuna right now who is waiting for his slave.

"Please keep up miss Vanguard. We shouldn't keep lord Sukuna waiting." he said walking down the dark red hallways.

"....I rather go slower. I don't want to visit that monster today....can't I just stay in my chambers to rest?" she asked even if she was going to think of a idea to get out of here.

"No. As requested lord Sukuna wishes to see you to spend time with him.."

"Tch.....great so he's complaining now?" she said only for Uraume to keep walking looking ahead.

"I wouldn't try anything again Miss Ink. You know what happened the last time." she heard his voice but this made Ink look cold at him and yet, he didn't worry about it. Even if Ink was dangerous, Sukuna didn't mind it. Not even him.

"...Who says I was going to do anything?" she said.

"Because knowing you trying to escape so many times, lord Sukuna had to curse you with two curses on you. One on your back and the other around your neck. You know what would happen if you tried to escape again right?" he warns even if Ink knew after showing it the last time. Her team was safe at least but she still was worried.

"Besides, we are here. Lord Sukuna awaits you in this chamber.....now please go inside." he said.

"............I really don't wish to-" Before she tries to speak, Uraume turns to face her giving a cold expression as the area was starting to freeze. She tenses from the sudden drop in temperature to look at him.

"I believe I gave you a warning miss Vanguard. Go inside..or I'll drag you inside."

"........" Looking silent, she only looks away before seeing the guards open the door to show Lord Sukuna's chambers. He was sitting on his throne but was looking bored. He was showing his true form this time, looking around with his eyes and his four strong arms as well. He was already seeing some of his followers killing a weakling from the real world not minding the mess.

Ink winces seeing the body but the other was killed. Blood was heavy in this chamber but she didn't say a word. As the servants drag the body away, he looks up seeing Uraume and his slave.

Ink was taken inside the chamber as the doors slowly closed behind her with a loud click. She looks ahead not saying anything. Of course Sukuna smiled to conjure a finger for her to step forward. She didn't want to but she slowly walks over to him while looking ahead. When getting near, she stops to look annoyed at him. Her grey eyes glowing with murder intend to this monster.

"Well, well, well, you finally show up my precious slave. What took you so long?"

"........Nothing much...just getting ready for you......" she lied even if she was trying to escape from here.

"Now now, no need to lie. I know you were trying to escape again...you make the games so much more fun when you try to." he said and yet Ink looks more annoyed.

"Maybe it's because your nothing but a monster in my eyes. Even after everything you did to my home, my friends, my team...you are no saint.." she hissed even if Sukuna laughed.

"Of course I'm not. I'm more like the devil here....even after taking over everything...I still get what I want....now...come here. I've missed you." he said seeing her not moving.

"What? Shy now? I said come here.."

Once more Ink didn't move but shows a evil glare. "Fuck you..."

"......" Sukuna sighed to smile at her that confused Ink till he chuckled darkly to look at her. His cursed energy burning around him.

"Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I said...Come. here."

Before she knew it, Sukuna used one of his four arms to reach for her, grabbing some black chains that shows on her wrists. "!?" Ink tries to get away only to get pulled or forced towards him as she lands right onto his lap.

"Hey! What the hell are-" she winces feeling him grip her wrists, two hands grab her waist to keep her there and the last one gripping her chin forcing her head back.

"Oh Inky, you still are so upset with me aren't you? But you know what I said; be a good little dragon and listen. If you do, then I won't have to worry about punishing you later....you wouldn't want that now do you?" he said as he sees her wincing from the painful grip.

"Besides, you always were a fighter which I love about you...and torturing you is just as fun..you remember don't you?" he asked pressing her back against his chest but she remembers her back was healing after the rough treatment but she was fine.

"Can't you be good for me?" he asked even pressing his lips against her own. Ink growls hating him more as he was going to kiss her to result in her feeling his lips.

Right away, he felt her bite him hard drawing blood as he feels her struggle again. He heard the chains rattling before Sukuna lets her chin go but not her waist. His bottom lip was bleeding as she was angry right now.

"I told you no biting didn't I?" he said.

"I don't care!"

"........Now now, don't be like that. I'm trying to make you happy today.....besides, you don't want to anger me little dragon."he said.

"And I don't care. I'll always fucking hate you! If I had my greatsword I would cut that fucking head off straight from your shoulders!" she said mad but Sukuna sighed not letting her go.

"You told me that...but I got them locked away...you don't need to worry about that right now. Besides, I'm bored and wanted company...now why don't you be a good slave and treat me right? We can play a game if you like..I know you love games.." he coos even touching her shoulder. "Or are you going to make this hard on yourself..where I'll have to make you be good....." he said.

"...Again, fuck. You. I will not stop doing what I must to get away from you. I'll get back to my friends and away from here. You won't get away with this!!"

Sukuna said nothing but he sighed to look at her. "You think so?" he said holding his hand seeing cursed energy glowing. "Seems like that tongue of yours still can speak so sharply towards your master. Maybe I need to remind you who is your master.."

Right away, the two curses on Ink's body begins to glow.

"!?!?" Grey eyes widen in shock as she screams feeling sharp stabbing pain going through her back and body. She struggles only to feel him grip her arms and waist making her take the pain. "Stop it! STOP IT ALREADY YOU ASS-GGAHHHH!!"

"I already made it clear didn't I? You are my slave now..and I expect my slave to treat me with respect! Besides, I had to curse you twice to insure you behave like a good dragon after the times you tried escaping me. It don't have to be like this Inky but if you don't want to listen to me......I do this to make you remember!" he said making it worse that she henched over with grey eyes wide from the pain crying.

She closed her hands into fists, trying to fight through it but she struggles to close her eyes tight. Teeth sharpening as she grits them. She hated this. She hated this pain.

"Now, are you going to behave or do I have to make it worse that you pass out like last time? Well, answer me!" he shouted that Ink struggles to shake her head.

"Stop it already! GGGGHHNNGGG STOP STOP STOP I GET IT DAMN IT! JUST STOP!" she shouted mad but Sukuna only smiled to stop as the curses on her started to ease away. Ink gasped from the pain, panting rapidly that she was twitching as well.

"There..that wasn't so hard was it?" he said holding her against him but Ink was shaking still mad even if her grey eyes were showing tears. "Though, the tears suit you quite nicely..." he said looking at her eyes.

"Haaa....haaaa....I'll.....fucking get you f..for this..Just you w....wait you.....m..monster." she said.

"I know as you keep saying..but for now...rest. We have a long day ahead of us....and if your good..I'll reward you like a good girl and I'll be sure it feels good when I do." he chuckled to look at her but Ink only looks annoyed but she felt weak suddenly. Damn this place draining her power or him. But if she ever got the chance, she'll escape..she has to.
