Amaimon X Student Reader (7)

Rin thinks he's helping lmao

Amaimon's golden eyes bore into yours, holding you captive with their intensity. You feel the urge to pinch yourself, but his presence is all too real. You struggle to form a response, your voice trembling as you speak. "R-really?" Your heart races at the thought of Amaimon wanting to kiss you, but you also fear his rejection. "I don't like to repeat myself," he says impatiently. You hesitate before placing your hands on his shoulders. Amaimon removed his blazer and sweater vest earlier, leaving him in a white button-up shirt and loosened tie. You can feel the warmth of his skin through the thin fabric. 

Gathering your courage, you lean in and press your lips to his. It's nothing like you envisioned for your first kiss; it's brief, and you pull away almost immediately. Amaimon's face remains expressionless, and you feel a pang of embarrassment. "I didn't say you could stop," 

Feeling a flush creeping up your cheeks, you lean back in, determined to do better this time. Your lips meet his again, and this time, it's different. His lips are warm and soft against yours, and you can feel the heat radiating from his body. The scent of forests envelops you, and you find yourself melting into his embrace. 

Suddenly, Amaimon's hands grip your waist, drawing you nearer as the kiss intensifies. When his warm tongue brushes against your lower lip, you pull away, embarrassed once more. However, as you gaze into his eyes, you notice a hint of amusement. "Not bad," he remarks, remaining enigmatic.

"I...I can improve," you whisper, speaking without fully considering your words.

Amaimon replies, "Yes, improve your listening skills. I didn’t say you could stop. Kiss me, don’t stop until I allow it.” 

Your heart pounds in your chest as you register Amaimon's words. 

“Right.” You nod and lean in nervously again. This time, when his warm lips touch yours, his hand grips the back of your head, tangling in your hair to ensure you can’t pull away until he decides. His tongue glides along your lip, prompting you to instinctively part your lips. When his tongue finally meets yours, you're startled and almost pull back; however, Amaimon tightens his grip on your hair, anticipating your reaction. His warm hand slips underneath your shirt, palm flat against your lower back, drawing you closer. 

As Amaimon pulls away, a subtle smirk spreads across his face. Tomorrow, he will need to thank Rin Okumura for enlightening him about his pet’s interests.

A brief flash of annoyance crosses his eyes. “Oh, big brother is here.” Moments later, the kitchen doors swung open with a flourish. “Miss _____! It’s quite late. Allow me to treat you to dinner before taking you home.” You freeze, having not expected Mephisto's interruption. “No. She’s making me a cake.” Mephisto beams broadly. “Sorry, but it’s too late now. Before you argue, I’ll find someone else to finish it.” 

The remainder of your time at Mephisto’s home passes by uneventfully. Amaimon shows no signs or mentions of what occurred before Mephisto arrived, leaving you to wonder if it was all just a daydream.

-----------------------------------------------

“______?” Shima waves a hand in front of your vacant stare, then glances at Shiemi. “What’s wrong with her?” Shiemi leans forward to get a better look at you, furrowing her brows. “I don’t know.”  

Bon raises an eyebrow. “It’s strange; she hasn’t mentioned you-know-who.” 

Izumo, displaying her not-so-supportive friend tendencies, suggests, “Maybe he told her he’s not interested.” Rin frowns at the comment. Had Amaimon actually said those words yesterday just to provoke him, only to end up turning her down instead?

Konekomaru straightens up. "It’s him," he whispers. Everyone, including you, turns back to see Amaimon heading to his first class. He casts a look of disinterest at the others, but then his gaze sharpens as it locks onto you. Without hesitation or concern, he brushes past Bon and, in one swift motion, pulls you along with him. 

Shima leans in and whispers, "Uh guys? He’s holding her hand.”

“What?!” 

----------------------------------------------

As lunch approaches, Rin anxiously awaits your arrival, pacing back and forth while glancing around for any sign of you. “Where is she? I need to talk to her; it’s important!" he complains, eliciting looks of pity from the rest of his group. “Dude, it’s over. Just let it go," Shima sighs, but the half-demon continues to pace. “NO! You don’t understand—he’s using her!" 

Bon slams his fist on the table with a growl. "Of course we understand! What are we supposed to do? I’m sure she is more than aware of the situation and just doesn’t care!"

“Then why does she talk about marrying him? She doesn’t want to be used; she wants a relationship with him, but he’s only using her.”  

Bon stands before Rin, blocking his path as he paces. “She knows Rin. She’s not stupid, the idea of marriage and kids is just a silly daydream for her. She is fully aware of the reality, I promise you.”  

“No. I’m going to find her and kick his ass.” 

He finds you, and a look of disgust crosses his face. Amaimon is closer to you than he has ever seen before, with you nearly pulled onto his lap. Rin can’t hear your conversation, but the way your face flushes when Amaimon leans in to whisper something in your ear gives him a clue. “What are you doing!?” he snaps before giving himself a moment to consider the best way to address the situation. “Didn’t you say you were supposed to follow the rules? Kissing is against the rule!”

“I’m not breaking a rule. We aren’t kissing.”

Rin points at your thigh, where Amaimon’s hand rests just beyond the hem of your skirt. “That’s against the rules!” Amaimon looks down at the spot Rin is indicating. “Are you staring at my girlfriend’s thighs? Don’t look at her, pervert.” 

Yours and Rin’s eyes widen comically. “GIRLFRIEND?!” 

“Yes.” 

Rin shakes his head. “No, this isn’t right. I don’t care what you say ______. Amaimon, leave her alone; she wants a genuine relationship with you. You know, something long-term—marriage, kids, and all that.”

Horror engulfs you at Rin’s words. Sure, you may have said that to your friends multiple times, but you’re not an idiot. You’re painfully aware of where this is heading—or rather, not heading. “_____, stop being foolish. Don’t let him manipulate you; you deserve better. He’s never going to give you what you truly want.” Your heartbeat becomes agonizing as embarrassment and dread wash over you. Bile rises in your throat, and you quickly try to stand and leave. However, Amaimon’s grip on your leg tightens, and he wraps his other arm around your back. “What’s that human phrase again?” Amaimon muses, seemingly lost in thought for a moment. “Oh, I remember. Never say never.”

Amaimon is ancient; he's not gonna freak out like an embarrassed teenage boy after hearing that lmao. He's enjoying his pet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I started watching aoex season 3

So I decided to share my thoughts as I see the chapters (NOT SPOILER FREE)

Chapter 1:

not a full fan of the new art style but not a hater either

can't forgive them for taking away my troll clown though

also the voice, dunno, maybe I'm remembering the voice wrong in past seasons but yeah, not for me (especially when he says "eins, zwei, drei" I just feel like is the wrong tone)

also, I love the pace of the chapter but am really bitter that they cut the bestism (Angel & Lightning) first show time together so short

THE GEHENNA SCENE WAS SOOOOOO, loved the light hint to trigger response from Rin

uhhhhh what else....

THE SHAPESHIFTER BATTLE

so, so good, when Rin, Izumo, and Shima attacked and the camera was moving I didn't know where to look at

I'MMA FIGHT WITH MY BARE HANDS ANYONE WHO DARES SAYS MY BOY RIN ISN'T SMART AFTER THIS SEASON

alright then, time for chapter 2 :D

[tonguetiedraven]

fanfic of rin oblivious to bon's feelings? I've read so many of your fics. I love them.

I'm not at all sure if this was the kind of vibe you wanted, but it's what happened, lol. It's a bit more angsty with a one sided sort of thing, though I tried to leave it open to a get together :D

I'm glad you enjoy my fics ^^ — — ♡( ‘-’* ) — —

Ryuuji’s cheeks went a bit warm as Rin reached into their shared cracker bag at the same time, and he promptly looked away as he pulled out a small handful of the rice crackers, trying to act like he was entirely caught up in his notes on Magnus’ methods of circle generation and not how warm Rin’s hand always was. 

It wasn’t the first time he’d had to do it, and it wouldn’t be the last.

Ryuuji had, contrary to what some would say, not fallen in love with Rin when Rin jumped wildly in front of a reaper to save him from his ill timed emotional breakdown over the latest moment in a life time of cruel laughter.

No, Ryuuji had properly noticed Rin then, but he hadn’t fallen in love. He hadn’t known enough about Rin to possibly be in love.

When Rin stood between him and the Impure King and proceeded to try and make post rot castle plans and looked at Ryuuji like he hung the moon and stars and sun in the sky simply because he’d confessed the obvious fact that he trusted Rin out loud, he also hadn’t fallen in love, though that was a closer possibility. Had he not been exhausted to the point of near delirium, maybe.

Nope. Ryuuji fell in love in the entirely uncinematic moment of leaning over a railing to look at the view of Kinkaku-ji, and finding Rin staring at the water with his tail slipping out to wag because he had spotted a group of ducks. The dork was in front of what was one of the most impressive things Kyoto had to offer, and the ducks won his attention. 

He would never be able to explain what it was about that moment that did it, but it ended with Rin looking up at him with an enormous grin that sealed the deal, and Ryuuji could almost feel his heart leaving his chest to settle in Rin’s hands, and he would die if anyone ever knew that he thought that way.

It had been strangely easy to fall in love with Rin, far easier than it had been to initially get on the same page as Rin. Probably because Rin was incredible at picking moments to make Ryuuji stop and pay attention and feel like his entire world was shifting a bit to accommodate whatever Rin had made him see in a new way. Rin bolstered him on when he was losing confidence or energy, convinced him to stick to his guns and his morals when he became uncertain, and reminded him that he wasn’t in it all alone. (Strange when it had taken him so long to drive that message home to Rin.)

Today it was a pre Cram School study session and snack.  They weren’t alone — they were almost never alone, but Ryuuji didn’t mind that. He usually enjoyed his friends’ company. At least more often than not. 

Except for the fact that Ryuuji had never once in his life managed to be subtle about anything, and he certainly wasn’t subtle about the fact that Rin had captured his heart.

The blushing alone would be embarrassing, and had been embarrassing on far too many occasions. He seemed to always get noticed by Izumo when he did it, and she’d get this satisfied sort of grin on her face. He could never decide if it was satisfaction that he was embarrassed to be silently called out, or some sort of satisfaction that she was watching a supposed romance unfold.

It wasn’t one. Not the happy sort anyway. Ryuuji had never had the easy or happy sort of thing so that wasn’t surprising.

Being noticed blushing would be embarrassing enough, but he also had the horrible tendency to stare at Rin a bit too much, and it was usually Shima that caught him with that, and he’d wiggle his eyebrows in the most annoying way, and Ryuuji would blush, and Shima and Izumo would grin, and Ryuuji would usually huff and make an escape.

Konekomaru always caught him in the after moments. Usually after a lunch or race or challenge. When Rin would have just left him with a high-five or laugh or an arm around his shoulder, and Ryuuji would feel like his heart wasn’t beating properly in his chest as it tried to shoot away and join Rin.

He could already tell this would be a day when he was caught by all three. Possibly even her. Those were usually the worst days. She could always tell something was wrong, but was never quite intuitive enough to know just what. She wasn't aware enough of the situation, or situations in general, to know that she was just making it worse.

Ryuuji was in love with Rin, and he was painfully obvious about it. He didn't know any other way to be. He had never been particularly gifted at hiding his thoughts and emotions, and he'd had no experience with this to have learned how.

Ryuuji was in love with Rin, and Rin was entirely in love with someone else. What's more, Ryuuji was certain Rin had never noticed that he had Ryuuji's heart. Or, the somehow worse possibility, he might have realized it and simply pretended not to because he didn't want it.

Ryuuji could never decide which would be the worst one.

He had spent a lifetime well acquainted with wanting things he could not have. He was familiar with the ache of it, even if this one was a bit strangely sweet despite the bitterness. 

There were moments when he didn't even notice that he had something missing. Moments spent simply appreciating Rin were enough on their own. He would watch, and he would smile, and he would not notice himself doing either. He would be taken with whatever was happening and whatever Rin was doing or being. 

He had fallen in love with the boy for a reason after all. There was a lot to fall in love with, and Rin was nothing if not a show off when he was good at something.

The soft feelings would rise in Ryuuji’s chest, sometimes a bit overwhelmingly, and he would want, and long in a strange new way that could be exciting, but frightening as well.

Other times, it was far more bitter.

The difficulty of his situation aside, ignoring how negatively being gay was still looked upon by most people, he had simply fallen in love with someone who was in love with someone else. Were he to suddenly wake up with a knowledge of the words he needed to properly express himself to Rin, he would still have to contend with the fact that Rin's heart was someone else's. 

Ryuuji was never a coward, but he wasn’t an idiot. So even if the words did suddenly come to him, he’d swallow them back down. They would be bitter, but he had swallowed far bitterer things.

He had met Rin first, but it was the meeting with her that had left the impact with Rin. Ryuuji had no real idea of whether or not he would have stood a chance had he made a move before she'd come into the picture, but he hadn't and without even intending to, she had won Rin's heart.

He figured that one out fairly slowly too. He was, unfortunately, entirely inept when it came to matters of the heart. He had been slow to learn his own, but certain once he had. He was not nearly so good with anyone else's.

Though he had never been able to tell how she felt about the entire thing, once he knew to look, Rin had been the easiest kind of read. He stared every bit as much as Ryuuji did, he smiled in silly ways, he laughed almost anytime she told a joke, or something that sounded like a joke, he always tried to sit as close as he could get, chose any mission with her he could, and got this sort of wishful tone in his voice anytime she was mentioned.

That was where the bitter came in.

Ryuuji was not nearly vain enough to ever even consider telling Rin that Ryuuji was the better option. He wasn't. She was an incredible option. She was kind and funny and loyal and pretty and courageous, far more than she ever gave herself credit for. Ryuuji was the heir to a failed temple that didn't even have a temple any longer. He was loud, grumpy, glared far too much without meaning too, and not very much at all like Shiemi.

He would never point out that she obviously wasn't interested, but he was if it was Rin.

After all, he had people come up to him regularly to try and go out. He knew what it was to have your attention completely taken by one person, and it not particularly matter if it was returned or not. The feelings would go away eventually, according to everyone he knew, but until then, he couldn't see any harm in them existing. He would never push his friend, because that's what Rin was first and foremost, his friend. The pain of it when Rin would look elsewhere, but never at him, was not enough to make him break away from that. It was his own fault that he was suffering. He could not stop the emotions, and he would not give himself space from his friend.

He had fallen in love with Rin, And he didn't know what to do with the emotions aside from ignoring them. That had done nothing to dissuade them, and the more he ignored them the more he tended to blush and look too much, and ache, so he took to other methods to try and satiate the insistent feelings. He would bring snacks he knew Rin liked best for the chance to see that particular smile. He would spend extra time at the gym to have a chance to spar with his friend, because he knew how much it excited Rin for them to be able to go all out. He would find extra time to help Rin with his studies, because his friend did and seemed like he always would struggle with notes and class work. It didn't help much more than ignoring had, but it did at least leave him with more sweet than bitter moments.

It was studying today, and that meant trying to decipher Rin's ridiculous notes, and sitting too close. That was what had led to the joint hands in the bag.

Rin didn't seem to have noticed it happened. He was, probably fittingly, talking to Shiemi. Ryuuji munched on his crackers, told his face to stop being ridiculous, and looked back at the notes. He managed to decipher another line and reached for his bottle of tea.

"You transposed this," He offered quietly. He tapped the two terms as Rin's attention momentarily turned to him. The most intensely blue eyes he had ever seen glanced down at the word under Ryuuji's pencil, and narrowed as Rin tried to make them out.

"Transposed," he explained, "You switched them."

"I did?"

Ryuuji nodded and tried not to pay attention to the way Rin's tail swished and stood up a bit when he was really listening. There was enough of the bitterness already. He didn't try to purposely hurt himself more than he needed to.

"If you can keep that straight, you'll ace this."

"You think?" The wag of Rin's tail was audible now. It was thunking lightly against the bench.

"Absolutely."

Rin smiled at him, and it was the same sort of smile he'd had when he looked at the ducks. Pure and unfiltered and showing his fangs and hardly any of his eyes because his cheeks were pushing them closed, and Ryuuji's face was growing warm again as he stared much too much. He swallowed and looked back down at the notes. 

And in doing so, entirely missed the fact that Rin was still staring at him.

[rinseveryday]

Hi hello! do we have any death flags in blue exorcist ?! I know that osceola had a death flag ! and I know some others also have it and Lewin do have one he said something about " let us work together after this is over" to Yukio ! that is a death flag right ?

Hello anon! Thanks for the ask! Wow you're probably the third or fourth that's asked me about characters dying lmao.

MAJOR BLUE EXORCIST MANGA SPOILERS BEWARE

Here's a post I wrote last October responding to an ask with my theories on the main and supporting casts and whether or not we've seen death flags for them. Though, rather than a death flag, I would say Osceola had straight up foreshadowing leading up to the events of the recent chapters lmao. Now we all know that when someone gets a short backstory chapter that something will happen to them soon! It happened to Izumo's mom too! :,D

Since it's been about 4 chapters since I wrote that post, I guess I could update it a bit, though to be honest, I haven't been reading super closely lately. If I could choose, I would wait until the volume release to read this arc but alas, I would get spoiled no matter what in 2 seconds after the chapter drops (has happened)

Lewin- I do not think he has a death flag, at least he's not dying just yet. His character story arc is not anywhere near finished yet. He is a major piece on the chessboard and we are only just beginning to get a feel for what his true purpose in all of this is. Whether or not he survives afterwards is not certain though! I wouldn't be surprised either way.

Shura- I'll be super pissed if all of Asmodeus's comments on her being "close to death but yet full of vitality" or whatever is actually true. She, like Ryuuji, and Izumo and Takara has had her character arc told already and they're all sitting on the sidelines as benchwarmers in terms of plot relevance at the moment. I very much hope that she survives all this and ends up with aa family of her own at the end of the series TwT.

In my last post I even said "Shura might come close, but she'll hang in there so she can attend Rin's graduation." and look at what happened OTL "Hang in there"... Kato are you testing me right now... Close call number 1 out of ??

Exwires- so like... this is a Shonen manga right? Where's my cool power ups and special moves...They can't die before they get those!!!

And just as I did last time:

tl;dr Might die: Neuhaus, Shima (as a joke), Lucy, Jeremiah, Dragulescu, Todou round 2, Rin (kinda but at this point it's expected of him lmao), and Lewin (maybe? after everything ends? or maybe he'll turn into a demon? would be cool)

[faerishv]

[ilikeyoubetterthisway]

Ok, I’m sorry but, what in the flying FUK!?!???!

WHAT

PAKU!? GODAIIN!?

Godaiin my boy, you are the only friendly face I trust, actually no, it seems like they brainwashed you, Paku pls save us.

Dude her entire family is dead I fuking can’t

Their current uniforms remind me of the ones they used on that first chapter, with the adult versions of Izumo, Ryuuji, Koneko and Shima.

(Can't find the damn cover thing, gah)

IF WE ARE TRAPPED IN A TIME LOOP IM GONNA LOOSE IT

Like, I actually prefer Satan winning over that.

WHERE ARE YUKIO, IZUMO AND RYUUJI!?!??? How the fuck did Shima survive??? He was right there with them?? They must be alive Kato cannot simply kill off the entire cast of main characters like nO.

Like, this is Angel- and Angel is alive cuz he got dragged out of the battlefield and has been fighting a temptaint since then??? fak cant remember. This is what happens when you take a long break and the manga gets a hiatus out of nowehere.

Shura, dear, is that you??? Pls tell us what's going on, where is Yukio, Ryuuji, Izumo and Koneko, Lewin??? Osceola?? Lucy, Liu?? WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!?!

WAIT IS THAT DUDE TAKARA???!??!? FAK

Anything but a time loop please, Mephisto, you had ONE JOB, ONE JOB SIR! TALK TO US!!! YOU CAN SEE US, EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!

No, no, like, TELL US, don't just smile stupidly there please, goodness...

Angel said that Satan is returning...

Is Satan still the Demon King/God??? Is Rin now the Demon King or is he just a Demon King? He has black hair I-

Where the heck is Shiemi?!?!!?? And her mom?? I just-

I rlly was like: ok then, a war, fine, I will try not to think about all the psychological consecuences it can cause on the body and mind of a bunch of 16 year old kids, is fine...

and Kato was like: Nah bich, a time skip with hints to a time loop, everyone is gone, Shima is doing advertisements, Angel has a temptaint, Mephisto disappeared and Rin is now the Demon King.

._.

Ma'am. Is barely 10am. I just-

That last page gave me the vibes that Rin came to rescue Paku ??? gsgsg pls Rin tell us you are a good guy, imean, this is Rin we are talking about but still. I'm confused.

Ok wait.

I think... somehow Lucifer is inside Angel's body, he's running over the True Cross, but that wouldn't explain the rampant demons ugh (Astaroth/Reiji, dears, where are you? I wanted to see you fight, ima start crying... )

but it would still explain the weird brainwashing we saw with Godaiin, *gasp* is all this part of Shiemi's creepy uncle's plan?! Ye, I don't think Lucifer is inside Angel's body but again, he didn't have a reserve body during the war, I just-

Ok idk.

I'm just stressed over the fate of everyone. Maybe they made a resistance or smt?? Imean, Satan is returning, for the second time in this manga, they have to reunite to fight him again no?? Gods, did Rin finally train and obtain complete mastery of all his powers??? Hell yissss!

Yukio, you better be managing the entire Resistance at this point please, with Lewin and Osceola as mentors. Ryuuji, Izumo please be safe, stick with Yukio, can't wait to see you two kicking demon a$$, please T.T.

SHIEMI MY QUEEN, WHERE ARE YOU DEAR!?!?!? ima start crying, i hope she's alright, gods.

This is a two year time skip, they are all fresh 18 year old adults, gods, they grow up so fast T.T, asghshss.

This chapter is a mess, so many things to discuss but dear goodness, I loved it!

[midnight-in-town]

On AnE 137 and the last part of the first battle

As expected, the Knights of the True Cross can’t win this first battle. Whatever happened with sealing Satan away with Shemihaza’s crystal, Amaimon’s assistance and Samael’s powers, something went wrong (I see you Jeremiah...) and I’d say the future for the True Cross is as bright as its paladin’s...

...in other words, it sucks (you’re going to be Lucifer’s vessel for a while Arthur, I’m sorry my boy, they’ll come help you fight against the possession later).

I’m also very worried for Shiemi’s mom, the acting Shemihaza Grigori who really used all her powers into sealing Satan away...

...and I’m really hoping Shiemi won’t lose her mom in this fight. They haven’t had a chance to talk since Shiemi basically lost her freedom and her mom wants the best for her, so I believe they deserve to speak about The Issue before her mom...goes anywhere (plz don’t die ma’am, you need to recover your freedom too). 

I’m also a bit worried for Mephisto...

...but since I expect him to lose his vessel against Arthur!Lucifer, I can’t say I’m that surprised that helping to seal Satan away would cost him so much. 

Yukio, Neuhaus, Suguro and Shima fell during the chaotic storm that took place and Rin is nowhere to be seen...

So the only ray of hope is basically Shiemi “Saio” still barely fueling the Enpaira, in order to help people with running away. Therefore I hope Shura, Izumo and Koneko will also be okay.

As mentioned before, I still think that at least Rin needs to experience a journey through Gehenna to maybe understand what kind of existence Baals and Satan lived with or without their ego, but mostly without a corporeal body. He is half demon after all and he didn’t learn to fully coexist with his demon self. Besides since spirit/ghost!Yuri is apparently still wandering in Gehenna (at least she was when Satan was first exorcised), I’m thinking she can maybe help him with becoming “the Blue Exorcist” he’ll surely need to grow into, in order to seal Satan away. 

Meanwhile, before she can back the twins, Shiemi (helped with Yukio?) has to discover why the Uzai family is so fucked up. Tough story, since she clearly has some repressed memories from her childhood, but if she or someone else doesn’t discover what Jeremiah and co are up to, then the Illuminati will keep on winning. 

Can’t wait, this arc is absolutely d r a m a t i c and I want mooooore!

[philosophicalparadox]

FOR BLUE EXORCIST:

Savages: Set in a divergent timeline in which a long time OC of mine, Kage, ends up making a deal with the devil in exchange for the chance to fix her "mistakes". One side of this deal is training Rin on How To Demon 101; the other opens many (literal) doors to things no one really anticipated- including the King of Time. Mildly OC centric, VERY focused on Demon Dynamics with emphasis on Cryptozoology and the sociological side of Demons. Lots of applied HCs and trying to interpolate a framework for Kin of Time based on mythology, for lack of canon evidence. Kage is a FOIL character. I have probably 17 scenes.

CONTENT WARNING: PTSD, some involving WW2, Gore, Animalism, Heirarchical disputes, mentions of and some actual demon cannibalism, mentions of Torture, mentions of SA, plenty of Angst and Hurt/Comfort, mentions of / implied incest (not with the twins), some BDSM stuff, a touch of implied Dub-con , and demons being demons.

PAIRINGS (primary in bold): many, mostly with Rin. Oc (kage) x Rin, Ocs (Hikaru and Iruka) x Rin, Amaimon x Rin, Mephisto x Amaimon, Mephisto x OC (kage) Amaimon x Oc (kage) Rin x Izumo(maybe, undecided), Mephisto x Rin ,Rin x Shima (kinda) Rin x Bon, Lucifer x Egyn (in later parts), Yukio x Shiemi, attempted Yukio x Shura.

Helvegen: A fanfic told in semi epistolary style taking us through the life of Samael and the other Ba'al from the time he incarnated to the beginning of the manga. Pretty much HCs converging with my love of history. I have like 8 scenes for this..

CONTENT WARNING: Oh there are so so many here. Gore, pretty graphic SA of at least 4-5 flavors, cannibalism, torture, death by torture, characters dying multiple times in multiple ways, brutalism, suicidal ideation, self harm, bullying, Narcissistic Abuse, War, PTSD, Personality disorders, Reinterpretations of mythological and historical events, including some sensitive ones, etc. Not even mentioning the weird sex stuff which ranges from BDSM to tentacles and literal torture porn.

PAIRINGS: Many. Samael x Lucifer, Samael x Egyn, Lucifer x Shemihaza, Lucifer x Iblis, Samael x Iblis, Amaimon x Iblis, various characters x various OC for the sake of plot and historical accuracy, Samael x Amaimon.

FOR BERSERK:

Feathers on Fresh Snow: In which Griffith stops Guts from leaving him on the hill that day by unintentionally showing a moment of vulnerability. Griffith's behavior afterward grows increasingly out of character until he becomes gravely ill - and only then does Guts learn that his commander has been "sick" for quite a while. Includes a quite different take on the "you'll pay for your dream in your own flesh and blood" thing. I have 11 scenes for this.

CONTENT WARNING: PTSD/CPTSD centric, mentions of SA, mentions of childhood abuse, Facing Your Traumas (and your parents), inadvertent trauma bonding, Griffith acting wildly OOC at times, Guts being arguably OOC at times, some Poor Casca situations, sorta torture (flogging), implied gang-SA type situation, Pervs, Sado/Maso kind of sex, Dom x Sub stuff, threesomes. Gets very dark and kinda messy at the planned end.

PAIRINGS: Griffith x Guts, Griffith x Casca, Guts x Casca, Griffith x Guts x Casca, brief and mostly platonic Casca x Judeau, Oc x Oc

That Which Burns Us: post-torture but pre-eclipse. In which Griffith is rescued, and though his injuries are not quite as dire as in canon (I elected for him to keep his tongue) he's still got a lot of road to recover... and it's possible he never truly will. Set in historical Europe, it's more accurate to the time and significantly more medically accurate. Starts out very angst and hurt/comfort and becomes very twisted and dark as Griffith changes over the course of his recovery. A character study in the effects of Torture, supported by actual studies on the subject. I think I have 7 scenes.

CONTENT WARNING: aside from typical Berserk stuff, we have lots of psychological stuff: mental breakdowns, trauma bonds, emotional upheaval, suicidal ideation, CPTSD, bad coping mechanisms, actual Catholic Guilt, and a Scar Fetish just to add some spice. There's murder, executions, jealousy, cheating, and insurrection too.

i honestly don’t know who i prefer izumo with tbh??

izumo/paku is v. sweet, izumo/shiemi also v. good

but i do have such a soft spot for izumo/bon, and izumo/shima is just. idk??? super particular???

like i can see if someone says that shima is maybe harassing izumo but… i feel like he plays it up in a way that it feels mostly non-serious to me? i like him being shallow and girl crazy with rin, tbh. and i feel like most characters treat shima’s hormonal teen side annoying but not unbearable. idk it’s not creepy or overboard, he genuinely does treat izumo with respect, but hey, sometimes he puts his foot in his mouth.

also i do really like their interactions in this arc. so that’s a point in their favour.

izumo/rin does nothing for me tho.

Amaimon x Student reader (5)

Have I said how much I love Amaimon? I’ve been writing so much with him this weekend 😂😂😂 I did get an interesting Mephisto request that should be out in a few days.

“He walked me home!” You squeal, throwing your arms around Shiemi from behind. “Izumo, you were wrong!” You squeeze Shiemi tightly as you speak. “And I stayed for dinner!” You gush as you run into your friends in the hallway before class.

“____, please, use an indoor voice. It’s too early.” Bon sighs, but you can’t hold back your excitement; your soulmate walked you home last night and invited you for dinner! “I also had dinner with him.”

“Let me guess.” Izumo starts hand on her hip. “Mephisto invited you for dinner and made Amaimon walk you home.”

“….”

“See?”

“Oh! What about this? After I made the cookies for him, I told him I would see him tomorrow, and he asked if I was going somewhere. When I told him I was going home, he said he didn’t tell me I could leave.”

Shima shakes his head. “Dude, that’s not something to brag about.”

“He didn’t want me to leave!”

Rin frowns. “It’s controlling.” The others nod in agreement, except the angel you’re currently hanging onto.

Shiemi pats your arm, indicating you’re starting to squeeze her a bit too tight. “Oh! Sorry Shiemi.” You give her a quick hug before releasing her and turning your attention to Shima.

“Okay, Shima, so I want you to look me in the eye and say if a hot chick told you ‘I didn’t say you could leave,’ you’d be turned off.” You narrow your eyes when he doesn’t respond. “Come on, Shima, let’s hear it.” Konekomaru sighs. “She’s got you there, but I have to agree with everyone else though ______. Are you forgetting he tried to kill Rin, and he attacked the rest of us?”

“If I recall correctly, you guys attacked him; his focus was on Rin. So, yeah. I was there too, and he never targeted me.”

Bon raises a brow. “So, you were like invisible to him.”

“…”

“Ouch, Bon, that was mean,” Shima replies, frowning. “You’ve been really mean to her lately.” Bon flinches at the words. “I’m sorry ____, but I want you to realize the truth. I don’t understand what attracts you to him, and it’s strange that you fell for him so quickly, especially considering he was assaulting our friends when you decided to fall in love with him.” You keep quiet; Bon sighs when you don’t speak for a few minutes. “Are you seriously giving me the cold shoulder now? I’m trying to have a heart-to-heart with you.”

You shake your head. “Okay, but besides that, maybe I just wasn’t dumb enough to try to get into a fight I had no chance of winning. Risk my life for a fight I have zero chance of winning? Also fine! Okay? Amaimon didn’t notice me, and I was invisible to him. But I’m not now. We’re friends.”

“____-“ Bon freezes.

“What are you talking about? I saw you that night.”

You turn around to see Amaimon a few steps away from your group. How much did he hear? I don’t want him to find out from overhearing. I have to confess my love to him like a mostly normal person. “Uh, how much of our conversation did you hear?”

“That you’re not stupid like the rest of them.”

“Wait, how did you notice me? I wasn’t doing anything?” Was it love at first sight for him, too?

“You said something odd.”

“Which was?”

Amaimon shrugs, “I forget, but after you said it, I noticed you.”

“What did I say?”

“I don’t know.”

“Are you lying?”

“Maybe. Who knows.”

A cold wave of fear washes over you. What the hell had you said that night? You said so many things, but what did he hear?

Rin, being the ever-so-supportive friend, takes a step toward Amaimon. “What do you want?”

“I’m going to class; move; you’re in my way.” He forces his way through the unusual barrier created by the boys as he makes his way to his classroom. He continues without looking back. As you attempt to follow him, Bon grips the back of your sweater. "Idiot. Where do you think you're going?”

“Math class?”

Bon stiffens, remembering your first class is with Amaimon. “R-right, yeah. Sorry. Just use your brain ____.”

“I am using my brain.”

Shima shakes his head. “Clearly, it’s broken.”

Waving to your friends over your shoulder, you make your way to math class, Wait, he’s going to be the first one there. What do I say? Do I say good morning? But I already kind of spoke to him in the hallway, so would it be weird if I said good morning?

Your concerns were moot because Amaimon slides his phone across the table the moment you sit down. “I want this.” You glance down at the screen to see a nicely decorated cake. “Oh.” It’s a five-layer cake, ‘chocolate & caramel ombre cake.’ Not only is it a lot of cake, but it’s decorated by an extremely talented person. “When do you want me to make it?”

“Tonight.”

“Oh. Amaimon, I don’t think I can make this cake. I’m not talented enough to decorate it like that.”

“I don’t care how it looks.”

You nod. “Oh good, uh, it’ll take at least three hours.”

“Okay.”

Okay? Okay, what? You stare at him, trying to understand what that ‘okay’ means. Does he want you to bake it another day? Not bake it at all because it’ll take too long? You aren’t a mind reader. “Okay?”

He doesn’t elaborate.

———————-

“Stay away from _____! You’re going to hurt her.” Rin glares at the demon king while blocking his path during lunch. He’s sick of listening to you speak about Amaimon. Hearing how Amaimon is using you, and expecting you to bake for him. Selfish asshole. Taking advantage of your weird crush.

Amaimon rolls the lollipop around in his mouth, annoyed with the half-demon blocking his way. “I’m not hurting her.”

“Yes, you are! Or you will, you know, emotionally? She has a huge crush on you, and you’re just leading her along. Stay away from her so you don’t hurt her feelings.” It doesn’t matter how often you claim you don’t care if Amaimon uses you; Rin doesn’t want to see you used. Good friends don’t let that happen.

“Crush?”

“Yes. You know, like she likes you.”

“Huh?”

Rin groans. “You idiot. Like she’s attracted to you, wants to go on dates, kiss, you know? Stuff like that.” And marry him and have kids. Rin rolls his eyes.

“Oh. Okay.”

“So, you’re going to leave her alone?” Relief starts to wash over him; he hadn’t expected Amaimon to agree so easily.

“No.”

“What?”

Amaimon turns his back to Rin, waving a hand over his shoulder. “I’m going to find _____ now.”

“For what?!” Is he going to bluntly tell you that he doesn’t like you? He’s going to hurt your feelings.

Amaimon pauses. “You know, to kiss and stuff like that.”

[tonguetiedraven]

Would you write something where like maybe an aria or something goes wrong/backfires and Bon can hear Rin’s thoughts for a short period of time? I think it’d be the cutest way for him to hear how absolutely frazzled he makes Rin

@marble-wolf helped me write this one (we're getting nearer the end, lol)

It's bon/rin get together, and only half the story is here since it got a bit long (doesn't it always?) Check the end of this post for a link to the full story!

-- -- -- --

Ryuuji was in class when it happened, which was probably the best case scenario. He could have been in an actual fight when the fuck up happened and that would have likely cost him.

As was, he spoke the aria to fight the bound Satori, felt the magic spark over his skin, the pull of energy in his gut, and a sharp pain pierce through his head. 

The first two were meant to happen, and his notes hadn’t mentioned the latter. 

Ryuuji curled forward a bit with a pained hiss, pressing a hand to his forehead and not caring that he smeared some chalk dust there as Konekomaru and Shima both moved in closer to help support him and the teacher yelled something.

(The yell made his brain feel a bit like imploding.) 

Ryuuji managed a breath, hearing it rattle around in his head painfully, and exhaled as everyone began talking over each other in a constant ramble he couldn’t decipher.

“Bon!” Konekomarua was shaking his arm while Shima was trying to keep him upright, and Ryuuji hadn’t even noticed himself curling forward and towards the floor.

“Another migraine? I told him not to eat those kara mucho. Stubborn idiot.”

Ryuuji squinted up at Konekomaru. Was now really the time? “It’s not a migraine,” he growled.

“Okay?” Shima asked. “What’s that got to do with anything?” 

Why were they being so damn loud? And why was it hurting? What the hell good was an aria if it incapacitated you?

“Mr. Suguro!” Miss Yamada barked as she marched up to them. “You transposed the order of those verses. What’s happening?” She crouched in front of him with a pronounced frown. “Surely he didn’t… No. he’d need a high level of concentration to do that. But he is a driven student. I’d say my best if he hadn’t made that mistake.” 

Ryuuji directed his pained squint at her. Why was everyone being rude while he was in pain?

“It’s a pain between my eyes. Piercing, not throbbing.” Ryuuji closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. Talking made it worse. Noted.

There were more yells and noise as the rest of the class realized he’d gone down and the teacher began to mutter her way through a list of other possible side effects he couldn’t sort through.

Rin nudged himself between Miss Yamada and Konekomaru, setting his hands on Ryuuji's shoulders. 

"Suguro?" He could hear how shallow Bon seemed to be breathing, small inhales as if struggling with pain and… 

"Why is he hurt?" Rin asked. "He's pale. I don't smell any blood. Call for help? Yukio could help." 

"Is he sure it's not a migraine? Idiot looks like he has a migraine." Izumo hissed. 

"Would lavender help him? Poor Suguro."  

“It’s not a migraine,” Ryuuji growled, directing his squinting glare at Izumo. (He hadn’t known Rin could smell blood, and he was touched Rin was looking out for it.)

Miss Yamada went a bit pale. “Shit.” She leaned forward and grasped his chin, forcing Ryuuji’s gaze to move back to her. “Mr. Suguro, what are you hearing?”

Everything, was Ryuuji’s first thought, but someone was humming and Shima was rattling off useless facts about the satori that Ryuuji hadn’t managed to block like Ryuuji hadn’t been asked a question, and the others were still mumbling and worrying and the pain was getting a bit more intense. 

“Talking?” Ryuuji asked, uncertain what she was wanting from him. 

"Oh his head hurts. The talking hurts his head. No talking. I won't talk then. That should help." Rin rambled, a bit lost on why their teacher looked so worried. 

"Idiot." Izumo grumbled.  

Ryuuji shot her another glare and huffed in frustrated amusement at Rin’s ramble. At least he wanted to help.

“It’ll help,” Ryuuji said softly, turning his gaze back to Miss Yamada who was pale now. The pain was starting to recede and just leaving a weird dull pressure behind. So absolutely not a migraine. He was tempted to stick his tongue out at Izumo, but it wasn’t like she’d ever even had a migraine to know how immediately recognizable they were. (And he hoped she didn’t get one even if she frustrated the hell out of him because they were agony.)

“Mr. Suguro,” she said softly, “no one has said anything.” She blinked, and then, “But if you’re still hearing them, then we’re in trouble.” 

“Trouble?” Ryuuji started, and then realized she hadn’t actually opened her mouth during that last statement. And while it was entirely possible that she was as skilled a ventriloquist as Takara, Ryuuji doubted it had been that.

“Fuck.” Miss Yamada muttered without moving her mouth. “Well, Mr. Suguro,” she said out loud, “while I’m impressed at your level of mental control, I’m afraid we have a problem. You inversed the purpose of the aria.”

“I’m sorry?” Inversed? What did that mean? The spell was meant to make his mind unreadable? Was he projecting his thoughts to the demon now?

“If performed improperly, and with enough focus, it can temporarily allow the caster to hear other people’s thoughts.”

“Fuck.” 

“What?!”

Ryuuji closed his eyes as clamor of voices seemed to ring out in his head. Loud enough to make it hard to focus on anything else for a moment, let alone work through what that meant.

"Of course it would be him." Izumo scoffed. 

Rin took a minute of mulling the words over. "Suguro has lots of mental control. Don't know how he does it. What does inversed mean? Hear other people's thoughts? Suguro hear… my… thoughts? Now? Suguro, what does inversed mean?"  

"A problem? I hope we can fix it!" Shiemi worried.  

In an immensely weird way, hearing Rin work it all out actually made it easier for Ryuuji to figure out what Miss Yamada had been saying. 

“Inversed. I inverted—” no, that wouldn’t help. Never explain a word with the word. “I flipped the point of the aira. Instead of blocking my thoughts, I made everyone else’s thoughts loud.” 

Miss Yamada nodded at Ryuuji’s explanations, which also made sense because she hadn’t heard Rin ask the question, and that realization, that it had all been in Rin’s thoughts and Ryuuji had just heard Rin’s thoughts had him swaying a little. 

The voices all around him seemed to get louder and tumbled over each other.

"But then… how do we make it stop?" "I really don't need to have Ryuuji in my head. That… I'm…" Rin audibly squeaked and turned his head away from all of them. "Konekomaru's beads are shiny." 

"Sucks to be you." Izumo added. 

Shiemi tried to quiet her own thoughts but she couldn't help the worry and was wondering how to help.  

“Can they read my thoughts?” Ryuuji asked, because if so, he had a lot of things to say to Izumo and he needed to be careful about everyone else. (Maybe not Shima, but absolutely Rin, and why had Rin said he didn’t need Ryuuji in his head? He could understand not wanting someone else to hear your thoughts but Rin made it sound like it was specifically him, and yeah, he didn’t want Rin hearing his thoughts, but that was because he was still figuring out how to confess all of that to Rin.) 

“No. It’s only the one way.” Miss Yamada said, and Ryuuji found he had an image of the ocean suddenly in his mind. The gentle lapping of waves was soothing, and he had a strange feeling she was concentrating on that to keep from thinking anything he might hear.

(It was better than the ramble rising around him.)

“It shouldn’t last long,” she finally added. “But I wouldn’t leave you alone today. Is it possible for someone, or ones, to watch you for the remainder of the day? Or at least until the effect has worn off.”

“Hang out with a mind reader? No thank you.” “Not it,” Shima said with a wink.

"I'll do it." "Why did I say that? Cause I— no." Rin was staring at Ryuuji with wide eyes and trying to figure out what he actually wanted to do. 

"Bad idea, Okumura." 

"Oh, Rin." Shiemi sighed. 

"Because um… is he in danger?" Rin asked.  

Miss Yamada nodded her head slowly. “That’s why I asked for it.” She directed her attention back to Ryuuji who was trying to figure out why everyone’s immediate reaction was concern and dread for Rin. Was Ryuuji that bad? It wasn’t like he’d asked for this nonsense to happen. No one had mentioned that if you messed up this aria you got a bitch of a headache and the ability to hear everyone’s thoughts. 

(And why Rin? Did they think he’d hurt him or something? Ryuuji wasn’t going to hurt him. It was Rin. Random thoughts or not, Ryuuji wasn’t going to hurt him. Shima maybe, but not Rin.)

“You say you get migraines?”

“Yes ma’am. I don’t have one right now. I’ll be fine.”  He wasn’t going to make them stay with him. He could feel them thinking how much they didn’t want him reading their thoughts as well as hear it, and the double feedback was uncomfortable and frustrating (and what were they all thinking that they didn’t want him hearing? Specifically Shima. What spy things was he doing?)

She wrinkled her nose. “You’re Arch Knight Lightning’s apprentice? He could probably watch you if Mr. Okumura can’t.”

Ryuuji felt his eye twitch. Nirvana. Reading Lightning’s thoughts? He felt the urge to shower at just the thought. And if something did happen, Lightning would make sure he didn’t die, but he doubted he’d be ‘help.’ And if he was, the methods would probably be worse than whatever actually happened. 

“I’m sure I’ll be fine.”

“Stop being so stubborn, Bon. Honestly, we’re going to find him passed out in a classroom at this rate. Maybe I should call Torako. She’ll make him listen.”

“Seriously?” Ryuuji asked, turning towards Konekomaru. It earned him a scowl, which made him realize Konekomaru hadn’t said it out loud, and how the hell was he supposed to tell what was said out loud and what wasn’t?! It all sounded the same.

"Lightning is loud though!" Rin objected. 

Eyes were turning to him and heads were shaking. 

"This should be hilarious." Izumo said. 

"Rin…" 

"I'll take care of Suguro!" Rin declared, and patted Ryuuji's shoulder. "I like taking care of Ryuuji. Oh, fuck. Umm… I need to get Kuro some new sake, I need to go to the store soon. I'll get…" Rin rambled off a mental list to try and keep his thoughts on one thing but then he noticed a loose string on his coat and his thoughts turned to that instead.  

“Wonderful. Class is dismissed for the rest of the day.” Miss Yamada declared, rising up to her own feet. “I can’t have him reading my thoughts.” 

Ryuuji rose up as well, watching everyone try and put some space between them. There was an onslaught of overlapping images and words and he couldn’t make anything out of the tangle even if he wanted to. Someone was actually talking as well, and he could only blink at Konekomaru and realize that he was now going to be spending an unknown amount of time with Rin. Alone. Reading Rin’s thoughts. (Rin who was distracted by threads on his coat which had led him to a missing button and somehow he was now thinking about cleaning Kuro’s toys out from under the dresser and Ryuuji had listened to most of that thought train and it had made sense as he listened but now he didn’t know how Rin had arrived there.)

Ryuuji turned to face Rin, feeling his own eyes go wide with the realization that it was just going to be them for who knew how long, and the thought he’d heard, I like taking care of Ryuuji. He hadn’t known Rin called him Ryuuji in his mind. It was the only time he’d ever heard Rin say his name. He was always Suguro.

(Though Rin was Rin in his mind and not Okumura.)

“You, uh, got anymore classes?”

"Just Shura!" Rin said, trying to ignore the nervousness filling him. "I can skip her stuff. I don't think she will care. Give her an excuse to go drink or whatever. Oh but Yukio, what will he do? Do I… uhoh… he…" Rin shook himself and tried to think of anything else. "The light coming from the window makes the floor all rainbow-y."  

“You don’t have to skip her. I can just read or work on homework.” Ryuuji didn’t want Rin’s grades suffering over this. Not because he’d apparently made a stupid mistake. 

Shouldering his bag, he wondered why Rin was being so weirdly guarded about his thoughts. He wouldn’t have thought Rin would be guarded. He usually seemed to just speak what was on his mind anyway.

Shit! Rin hadn’t actually said that, had he? Ryuuji was being intrusive and creepy and he couldn’t stop it.

"It's an excuse to not go get my ass handed to me for a day. This Knight is on princess protection duty. And yeah, had to say that cause I can't stop my mind. So," Rin stuck his tongue out and picked up his bag and sword sleeve to leave. 

"Your dorm or mine? Wait, do you got other classes?" Rin asked.  

Ryuuji opened his mouth to comment on the ‘princess’ but realized no one else had heard it and he really couldn’t imagine saying that nickname out loud where everyone else could hear it. He let Rin use it, but no one else. (And he wasn’t going to think about why that was.)

“Your dorm. Mine… It’ll be noisy.” He didn’t want to think about reading all the minds in his dorm. It would be so loud and chaotic and he’d have no way of avoiding that migraine. (And he didn’t want to know their thoughts.)

Then feeling guilty and not wanting to put Rin out anymore than this was (and still hearing Poor Okumuras behind him,” he added a, “I can help with any homework you have.” 

Hell, this might make tutoring easier. He’d be able to track exactly where he lost Rin.

"Oh!" Rin perked up and his tail lifted in a wag. "My tail's tangly, I gotta fix that. I can make us a snack! What do you want?! But I don't want to do homework. We can do like… guessing games! You think of something, cause I can't read your mind. This is pretty cool, I don't have to speak for you to hear me. That'd be handy for missions and stuff! Ohhh I got a test on Tuesday!"  

Ryuuji found his lips lifting in a smile and didn’t even notice as they walked down the hall towards the exit and Rin’s dorm. 

“Does your tail get tangly a lot?” Did they make tail conditioner? “And a test on what? We can work on that.” 

Rin gave an audible, "uuugh," and continued in his head, while grabbing his tail and combing through it with his fingers. 

"It always gets tangled. Like hair! But it gets caught in everything." Rin held the door open for Ryuuji, bowing a little in a dramatic way. 

Once they were out in the open, Rin's thoughts turned to the test and he frowned. 

"It's an english class. I'm no good at it. We could just use this on Tuesday! But you don't like cheating so I guess not. You're so… responsible. I guess we study but only for a little bit. Oh I need to text Shura. And tell Yukio. But he doesn't care. I don't think he will care. You're staying for dinner? But…" Rin's eyes went huge and he choked on saliva before he could stop his thoughts, "are you staying the night?"  

Ryuuji felt his cheeks go dark red in a sudden blush. “I don’t—I don’t know. I might? It depends how long this thing lasts.” Spending the night at Rin’s dorm. Last time he’d stayed over there it had been for the exam and there had been too many naberiuses. (But Ryuuji knew that death verse now.) 

Staying over there with Rin having to watch him… It was making him blush all the more. 

“And I’m gonna help ya so you don’t have to cheat. You’ll just know the answers,” he hurriedly added, not wanting to think about spending the night and having this through tomorrow’s classes. What a headache. He wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything.

(A few students gave him strange looks as they passed and Ryuuji realized it sounded like he was just having a conversation with himself.) 

"Okay." Rin watched the ground, counting the cracks in the concrete to keep his mind off anything else. "Just know the answers… you overextend my abilities." 

"But if we do study… not long. Then we will both have a headache!" Rin added.  

Ryuuji rubbed at his own temple. He didn’t want that coming back. It had been a bitch. Hopefully this quirk vanished less painfully than it had arrived.

“If we do?” He asked, raising a teasing eyebrow. (He didn’t like the weird tension that kept cropping up in Rin’s thoughts.) “Funny how you think you’re getting out of studying.” He gave Rin’s arm a friendly bump as he spoke, steering them towards the dorm. 

Rin blushed at the tease. "Fuck, he's adora— fuck, this is going to be problem. I'm making us a snack first!" Rin nearly mentally shouted the second part.  

Ryuuji winced away from the mental volume. “Okay.”

Curiosity was burning in his gut. What had Rin almost thought? Why did he seem upset about it? How did Ryuuji distract himself from wondering when he wasn’t even supposed to hear it to begin with?

The dorm loomed ahead and Ryuuji picked up the pace a little to open the door for Rin this time. 

“Anything I can help with?” He asked as Rin walked inside. (Was Ryuuji imagining the stiff way his tail was moving? Was he making Rin uncomfortable? Of course he was, he was reading Rin’s mind without Rin’s permission.)

"Nope." Rin quickly answered. "Want a snack?" 

"Rin!" Kuro yowled and was zooming out of the windowsill, his feet hopping and he jumped up on Rin's shoulders. "Oh Suguro! Hi Suguro!" 

Rin relaxed under the familiar excitement of the cat sidhe, returning the purr with his own and bumping their heads together.  

Ryuuji startled a little at hearing Kuro’s voice. He knew the cat sidhe could talk, but not in a way they could hear. 

“Hi, Kuro,” he said softly, deciding he liked the cat sidhe’s voice. “Do you mind if I hang around this afternoon?” He didn’t particularly want to explain why. Not enough that he’d apparently made a stupid mistake in his best class (at least the way his teacher talked made it sound immensely stupid) it had to make things weird for everyone around him. 

(He was going to find a satori and practice the aria the proper way until he had it mastered.)

"Not at all! Rin really likes—" 

"Kuro! For today, he can understand you!" Rin cut off the cat and reached up to grab at Kuro's face. 

Kuro chirped in surprise and looked back at Ryuuji. "Oh!" Kuro moved to sit on Ryuuji's shoulders, licking his temple with a purr. 

"Kitchen!" Rin squeaked. "Kuro's going to give me away, wait! Floor! Tiles. There's a couple new broken ones. I broke 'em."  

“Give you away?” Ryuuji asked, scratching at Kuro’s cheek. “How’d they break?”

(What did Rin really like? Every interesting thought was getting cut short.)

He took a step down the hall towards the kitchen. Maybe a snack would settle Rin down? He seemed a bit frantic and Ryuuji was growing more and more certain it was himself that was causing that franticness and he was worried about that.

Rin gnawed at his lip. "No! No, I'm good! Nothing to hide!" His heart was thundering in his chest now. "Just… broke the tiles when I was messing around with Kuro." 

Rin hissed at Kuro. "Shut up." 

"I'm not going to be able to hide it. Fuck! I… it's not my fault, okay? I didn't…"  Rin was going to explode and pretend the flames starting to flicker weren't there. 

Kuro… "quit laughing!" Rin snapped.  

Ryuuji didn't know what it was, but something was freaking Rin out and he was already putting Rin out by making him more or less babysit Ryuuji, so Ryuuji offered Rin what he hoped looked like a gentle smile.

"Subject change?" He offered. "What new recipes have you learned?"

Ryuuji knew Rin could ramble about that.

🌀 "I'll make it work!"

"I can't wait for you to meet them! Let's see... I'll invite Yukio, but he's not really a movie guy, so he'll probably say he's too busy. But I bet Shiemi would love to join! And hopefully I could convince Izumo to tag along. If I can get Bon to go, then Shima and Konekomaru would probably follow. And maybe Shura? AH!! Can't forget Paku! Maybe even Godaiin?" 🐈‍⬛

"Of course! As long as they fit in the house, have em over!"

[rinseveryday]

Hello! How are you ? Just one question! who do you think will die in the upcoming chapters of blue exorcist ? do you think anyone will die at all?

Hello anon! You're lucky because I'm having a nice easy week so I get to respond to you on the same day! (how rare)

Thank you for the question. I have seen this one come up recently within the fandom, especially with the manga ramping up for what seems to be a climax arc, but I never really had a solid answer for it. Kazue Kato is a master at misdirection and subverting expectations. She'd raise a death flag on purpose just for the lolz -u-"""

Personally, I don't see any of the main crew getting picked off, but then again, I didn't think Demon King! Rin was actually going to show up in his sweat pants so like... I'm just as scared as everyone else is.

I do think there will be some deaths though! And I'm hoping to see a few revives as well.

Spoiler warning for latest chapters under the cut

So from theories I've seen going around:

Renzou Shima has had major death flags on him for a while. This is probably just Kato trolling us though. I don't see any benefit coming out of his death anyways (snore) just kidding I love Renzou please don't die

Shiemi has said things that raised major death flags in the latest chapters, however, she's also under the protection of the Protagonist's Favored One's Halo, so unless Kato is a true masochist, I don't see her staying dead if worst comes to worst

Bon, probably also Kato's troll. Konekomaru is protected by the Cat Name Haver's Halo.

Izumo is in too much of a dire need for a glow-up to die.

Yukio is... cursed by the Protagonist's Favored One's Halo. Or at least he was but Rin feels a bit distracted lately. He'll live, but at What Cost? Couldn't say (probably a lot).

The Adults: Neuhaus is probably going to die. Shura might come close, but she'll hang in there so she can attend Rin's graduation. Lucy Yang might die. Lewin is favored by the author so I hope that means he's safe. Angel is not favored by the author so I really don't want to think about what's going to happen to him. Osceola better not die bc I need Rin to become his apprentice. Shiemi's mom is close to dying but I really hope she doesn't.

The Demons: I don't care either way so I never really thought about it (sorry demon lovers). If anything, it's more likely that we'll see demons that have crystalized, revive (Azazel, Armumahael, Shemihaza, Satan).

Also on a similar note, the demon eaters plot point was never fully resolved. Todou "died" off screen so unless Kato totally forgot about him, he's due for a comeback.

It's also interesting that Paku and Godaiin were focused on in the glimpse into the future. Nemu Takara also stayed back and is presumably still alive in that future, and those 3 from the kid's table still need to come back into the story. I doubt any of them will die ;w; that'd be too sad.

Jeremiah might die.

Dragulescu (??? idk how to spell his name) better die.

Other Illuminati: uhhh maybe the Lundstroms? I like Homare and I think she'll have something to do with Lucifer changing his mind about things. Lucifer isn't the main villain anyways so he's probably safe.

Rin... I don't think he'll be the same at the end of the manga, so to me, that counts as dying. Rin and Demon!Rin still haven't resolved their differences. Rin will have to choose a side, or face being forever unstable. But choosing will change him. Right now, he's living as 2 alter-egos/split personality. We've never seen him truly whole, and from the glimpses we have seen, he's kind of scary.

tl;dr Might die: Neuhaus, Shima, Lucy, Jeremiah, Dragulescu, Todou round 2, Rin (kinda)
