LOVE SOSA..? THESE B!TCHES ♡ SOSA! ★

Featuring; SPY! Kurapika x SPY! Reader (female)

— Masterlist —

TW; implied that Kurapika is a little bit of a pervert, smut with somewhat plot, multiple orgasms (f), overstimulation, degradation, praise, mirror sex, and orgasm denial. Summary: You're an undercover spy that works for Kurapika to get The Kurta Clans Eyes from specific areas, though the outfits you wear are a little too much for Kurapika's liking.

| Reqs Open | (Bye I was gone for like a month, but I'm back so...)(Like I have so many drafts on my notes that I just refuse to finish...)

You were in the passenger seat of the car suiting up, Kurapika was driving while giving you a rundown of today's mission. “Listen, this is gonna be difficult, I need you to hack into the second floor, no other floor, just the second floor,” Kurapika said looking at you from the corner of his eye watching the way your thighs spilled out your high-slit dress. “Why only the second floor?” You asked packing your guns underneath the covered part of the dress. “Because I said so,” Kurapika states sassily. “Jeez ok, no need to get snappy” you state pulling down the sun visor, and checking if your necklace is straight.

“Why are you always wearing that showy dress,” Kurapika asks stopping at the red light and leaning back in his seat. “Because I like it, and it matches with your suit!” You whine as he sighs chuckling to himself. “Ok I get it, but it’s just, don��t you ever feel cold?” He asked and you laugh at his question. “Can’t be cold when my blood is coursing through my veins.” You say before turning around and bending over the seat to get something out of the back of the car.

Kurapika almost let out a groan seeing your ass snug against the dress, he felt his dick spur underneath his slacks, and he quickly snapped his head the other way brushing a hand through his hair. Once you sat back down taking your heels from the back you looked over at him with a raised eyebrow. “You, ok? You look uneasy.” You ask clipping your heels onto your feet. “M’fine, someone just pissed me off.” He said and you shrugged at him before pulling your phone out. The rest of the ride was silent, the only thing heard were sounds coming from your phone.

Once you two made it there you threw your shawl over your shoulders, smiling seeing Kurapika open the car door for you. “Awh, how gentleman-like of you.” You tease making him roll his eyes at you. You two walked your hand locking around his, you could feel eyes on the two of you as you walked in. “So much for undercover.” You muttered under your breath. “What?” Kurapika whispered back at you as you two sat down at a table waiting for the speech to start. “Hisoka, over there.” You said and Kurapika didn’t make too much of a show but quickly flickered his eyes over to see Hisoka next to Illumi, and he gruffed seeing Hisoka eye him as well.

“Don’t think much of it, ignore it,” Kurapika said and you nodded. Once the speech was over you and Kurapika got up and saw the target, he pulled you by the small of your back pressing you up against him. You bit back a moan feeling his grip on you. He leaned down towards your ear. “Sorry, found the target, get to the second floor, don’t make it suspicious.” He whispered his breath fanning your ear. He fixed the top of your dress before slipping an earpiece into your ear and walking away from you. You let out a deep breath. ‘What the fuck was that about?!’ You thought to yourself, feeling your panties slowly dampen.

You made your way upstairs but were shocked to be met with a guard, you were quick to gun him down stepping on his earpiece before finally making it upstairs. You quickly hacked into the room, sighing contently when you found the eyes safely placed on the table. You quickly grabbed it but were shocked to feel a pair of hands wrap around your neck and cover your mouth. You struggled to escape until you heard a gunshot and the hands let go of you. You quickly turn to see Kurapika stuffing his gun back in his pocket.

“What would you do without me huh?” He said with a smirk before looking at the eyes and inspecting them. You rolled your eyes at him, too dazed to respond to him. He nodded before grabbing it and walking away. “Are you not gonna tell me thank you?” You sassed and he looked at you from over his shoulder and smiled. “Thanks.” He quickly said as you two made your way up the stairs. You two finally made it to the roof and he placed the eyes carefully into a bag, putting on his parachute. “There’s no way we’re flying down.” You state and he looks over at you questioning you with his look.

“Uh, yea?” Kurapika said grabbing you by the waist. “We’re not doing that, no way!” You argue trying to get him to let go, but he was quick to tighten his grip on you and jump off the roof, gliding on the way to the car. You yelled before quickly wrapping your legs around his waist and putting your hands around his neck. “I fucking hate you for this!” You squeal out your eyes squeezed shut. “You’ll get over it.” Kurapika was quick to reply rolling his eyes.

-

You two made it into the car and you let out a sigh, happy to be on land and not in the air. Kurapika started to drive and you both were startled when you heard a gunshot, bullets flying toward the car. You were quick to get up and stand on top of the center console, opening the sunroof and taking your gun out. You shot at them until you saw multiple people come into sight. “Drive! Fuck! Drive!!” You yelled at Kurapika and he started speeding away. You quickly sat back down into your seat panting trying to get a good look through the rearview mirror.

“Turn to a hotel or something!” You yelled and he makes a sharp turn swerving into a corner and you sighed when they drove past you two. Kurapika then drove to a hotel and you two got out taking the eyes and putting them in a briefcase to avoid suspicion. “Yes, a room for two please,” Kurapika said and the lady nodded giving them a key. “Please enjoy your stay, and don’t forget to check out after!” She told you two as you both walked to the elevator. “I’m gonna take a hot bath and a long nap.” You say and Kurapika chuckles. “Same here.”

And you rolled your eyes. “Don’t be a liar, you’ll shower, makes more mission plans, then read a book, then go to bed.” You say and he laughs. “You’re right, but I’m genuinely tired today,” Kurapika says, but that’s all just a lie, he’s not tired he’s just hiding his hard cock from being seen by you.

—

You two walked into the hotel room, but your jaws slacked when you saw that there was only one bed. “I call dibs” You were quick to say and Kurapika snapped his head towards you. “What?? I saved you today, so I should get it.” He retaliated. “Ok yea? But I saved our car from getting bullet fucked!” You yelled and he rolled his eyes. The two of you eyed each other, then the bed, then each other again. You both dashed to the bed pushing each other out of the way. “Ha!” You yelled your body on the bed before his and Kurapika groaned before pulling you off and slamming his body onto the bed before letting out a sigh of relief. “I relaxed on it first though.”

“That doesn't count!” You yelled before trying to pull him off the bed but you ending up tripping and landing on top of him your head in his chest and your hips and back slightly arched. Kurapika looked at you before groaning, this time not being able to bite it back. “F-fuck sorry!” You stuttered before getting up but landing on your ass, which made you land on his crotch, and you could feel his hard-on poke at your cunt. You moaned out and the two of you looked at each other eyes blown out wide. “A-are you gonna— fuck— get off..?” Kurapika asked trying his best not to move, because if he did he’d probably cum in his pants.

“Are you hard right now?” You asked and he groaned at you before rolling his eyes. “Did you get hard looking at one of the ladies’s during our mission..?” You teasingly said and he groaned giving you a disgusted look. “No, I barely even looked at anyone while I was there except for the target.” He said and you looked up thinking. “And the only person you talked to was me? Which means..? You’re hard for me?” You said giving him a seductive look, a hint of lust dusted in your eyes.

He looked away from your eyes sitting up but you quickly pushed him down. “You are hard for me, aren't you? Do I get you excited?” You asked leaning over to get next to his ear. “What do you want me to say y/n..?” He asked breathlessly his hand finding its way to your waist. If you were gonna tease, he might as well tease back. “I dunno, whatever you wanna say blondie.” You replied your breath hitched, feeling his hands travel around your lower area. “Yea, I got hard because of you.” He growled in your ear before placing a kiss on your cheek. “You and this damn outfit.” He muttered grabbing the plush of your ass and slapping it before kneading it.

You yelped your body jolting. You felt him rub your ass before traveling down to your thighs, gripping them. “I wish you could see what I was seeing, anytime you fucking bent over, I was so close to seeing -- fuck-- everything,” Kurapika said, and you moaned when his hand went to your inner thigh. “Don’t you think I’m a good boy for looking away?” He asked you, turning his head to look you in your eyes. “Tell me I’m good.” The blonde said his hand grabbing onto your throat, not too tight. “You’re such a good boy Blondie..” you muttered, your cheeks flushed red. You could feel his hands roaming around down to your clothed pussy and you shuttered when his hand skipped past it just barely.

“Fuck blondie… either you fuck me right now, or-“You didn’t get to finish your sentence because you were cut off by him kissing you roughly. “Tell me you want it, I won’t touch you anywhere unless you say it.” He said and you whined, trying to back your ass onto his hand annoyed when he moved it away. “I want it…” You whined out and groaned when you caught him smirking you. “Your so annoying.” You say and he laughs at you, his hand making its way to your waist. He swiftly spun you onto your back. Before littering kisses down your neck, you tilted your head to the side allowing him more access.

Suddenly you felt the cold spike, your nipples hardening at the sudden intrusion of the cold. Giggling when you felt him struggle to unclip your bra. “Instead of laughing, you could try helping me you know that?” He sassed making you smile as he grunted in frustration but immediately gasped when you heard the bra tear, and his lips connect to one of your nipples. “You better- buy me a new fucking bra blondie...” You say not angry in the slightest.

Your sighs turned into gasps as he pinched onto your other nipple. He pulled away before smiling at you enjoying the sight of you disheveled already. “Should see how pretty you look right now.” He said with a smile. “Take a photo, make it last longer.” You said with a smirk, but it dropped when he looked up in thought, making you laugh. “It was a- “you tried speaking but got cut off when Kurapika picked you up and moved the two of you to the bathroom pursuing your front against the counter, turning the lights on. “There you go, now I’m not the only one getting to see how pretty you look.” He said with a smile pressing his hard on against your ass.

You felt your knees weaken, the thought of him fucking you in front of a mirror was a little too much to handle. He led his hand up to your neck gripping onto it kissing your cheek then turning your head to press a kiss to your lips. You both started off slow, but then the eagerness from both of you seeped through. You moaned out when he bit onto your lip before pulling away from you and then turning your head to the mirror. He pushed his middle and ring finger into your mouth, and almost out of instinct you started to suck onto them.

You swirled your tongue around his finger, then he pressed his fingers down on your tongue before pulling it out of your mouth. The sight he was seeing from the mirror made him harder, and yet he still didn’t think that would be possible. You felt him rip your panties as well as sighed loudly. “I’ll buy you a new one, stop your damn whining.” He said annoyed and you could see him rolling his eye from the mirror. He slid his hand onto your pussy and hissed. “Fuck, how long have you been this soaked.” He grunted out, he could smell your arousal even from where he stood.

“Since we left the house..” you muttered. “You walked around all soaked like this? All hot and bothered the whole mission? Like a little slut huh..” he said making you moan out slightly embarrassed. “Yea, but I bet you were hard ever since you first told me about this mission." You sassed making him growl quietly annoyed by your tone. “Fucking brat.” He mumbled out, shoving two fingers into you. You gasped out at the sudden speed, your hand quickly going to hold onto the counter as you bent over. “Careful there, look at yourself, all wet.” He said and you whined looking anywhere but at the mirror, too embarrassed.

He let out a ‘tch’ sound before using his other hand to grip onto your cheeks turning your head to look at the mirror. You closed your eyes at the sight, your hair messed up, your lips slightly puffed and red, and his hand moving as fast as lightning from behind you. “See, now be a good girl, and make a fucking mess on my fingers, cum all over my fingers and the hotel floor like the nasty slut you are.” He said making your face flush red as your legs shook from his vicious pace you could feel your thighs clenching together, seconds away from your climax.

Not too long after you felt your release hit and you screamed out grateful for his hand that was quick to cover your mouth, knowing of the walls that might not be soundproof. He smiled at you from the mirror as you shook and writhed taking deep breaths. He licked his fingers clean before unbuckling his pants and you were shocked to see how big he was. “F-fuck, is that even gonna f-fit..?” You muttered and he smiled widely. “Of course, I will, and if I don’t, I’ll make it fit.” He says before bending you more over the counter lining his cock up with you. He slowly pushed himself into you and you sighed your head down on the counter as you whined loudly.

He groaned as he bottomed out. “You ready?” He asked and you nodded your head, as he smirked at the state you were in. He started slow, to let you adjust but couldn’t do it anymore and started to ram into you at a quick pace. “Look at that..!” He said grunting quietly. “Sucking me in real good, baby.” He said landing a slap to your ass, before pulling you closer by your hands holding them together from behind your back causing you to be forced to look at yourself.

You moaned out loudly, tears visible in your eyes while your jaw was slightly wet from saliva. “F-fuck! So good...!” You moaned out. “Harder!” You pleaded as you let him pound into you. You could feel the coil in your stomach close to snapping. “Don’t cum yet.” He said and you whined out tears now sliding down your face. “W-wait..! No I can’t..” you cried out, trying your best to hold it back as he rutted into you. “Fuck, yes you can, hold it for me.” He said as you moaned out louder when he lifted one of your legs, now pounding into you even harder.

“F-fuck..! Can’t! Can I p—please cum...?” You whined looking at him with glossy eyes from the mirror and he grunted before nodding his head. You almost screamed out loud when you finally got to let go, and Kurapika’s eyes darkened at the sight, letting you ride out your orgasm. You panted out thinking you were done but almost screamed when Kurapika started to pound into you again.

“..Fuck.. we’re not stopping until you’ve made a mess all over the floor and on me.”

Me after finally finishing smut: 😁💃

New Family

Kurapika/Reader

MDNI 18+

Trigger warning: nothing much, very vanilla smut. Oral (give and receive), first time for Kurapika.

"Everything's all clear, boss. Do you need anything else?" The beautiful woman in a suit spoke to Kurapika, the leader of the Nostrade family. She had just finished making sure the house was secure for the night. Kurapika nodded. "I'm good, thank you. You can take the rest of the night off." He appeared lost in thought, not even looking at her.

She had tried before to get the attention of Kurapika. She was fortunate to be among the few people in his inner circle, meaning she knew about his background as the last of the Kurta clan and his quest for his fallen brethren. It ate him up inside, giving him no other purpose in life. But despite all of that, she could see that he was warm and kind and wished to get closer to him, but he shut everyone out when it came to his innermost thoughts.

She walked closer to Kurapika, sitting in the chair across from him. "Something on your mind, boss?"

Kurapika looked up at her and felt lost in his eyes. The Kurta may have been famous for their Scarlet eyes, but she was more interested in his natural gray eyes, seemingly like mirror pools looking back at her. Kurapika sighed, then smiled at her. "It's nothing really, just lost in thought. I'll be fine."

Her hand glimmered with aura. "You want a little help relaxing?" Her manipulation abilities allowed her to change the mood of anyone around her; Kurapika generally used it to placate angry mobsters and ensure deals went down without violence. He may have a vengeful side, but he was not inherently violent.

"No, I'm good, really." He sighed. "I just… Sometimes I feel very alone." Her heart shattered, and she felt lost. She wanted to be there for him, but would he let her in?

"I'm always here for you, boss."

"I know; I appreciate you as a friend and confidante. I mean more…." He trailed off, looking embarrassed. "I wish I had someone to go to bed with at night. I'm almost 20, and I've never even had a partner. And how could I? I'm always working and eaten up inside by my past. I could never ask someone to put up with that." His eyes teared up a moment, then he wiped it away. "It's fine, though; I just got in my head momentarily. You can go, I promise."

She looked at him intently, then stood up from her chair. His gaze followed her as she walked around his desk. "I understand that maybe I'm not your type, but just know I care for you deeply." She grasped his hand and kissed the back lightly, then turned to leave the room. Kurapika took a moment to process what she was saying. Before she could reach the door, he moved over to block the exit. "Really?" he questioned. His heart was racing, and his face flushed. She knew he was taken aback even if she couldn't sense emotions.

"Kurapika, can I kiss you?" she pleaded.

Kurapika slid his fingers behind her neck, lacing them in her hair, leaned in, and rested his forehead on hers. He had wanted to maintain a professional relationship, especially since he found her abilities valuable. Still, he'd be lying if he said he hadn't thought about wrapping his arms around her soft waist. He wasn't sure if it was her or her ability that always made him feel so at peace, a feeling he had come to need more daily. He fed into his desire and placed his lips on hers. They were as smooth as he had imagined, like soft plush pillows. She slightly parted her lips, and Kurapika slid his tongue to find hers. He hadn't had much experience with girls, but his instincts took over, and he slid his hands down from her neck, along the curve of her supple breasts, and around her waist. She let out a small moan as she reveled in his hands on her body.

Several minutes later, they pulled apart from the passionate embrace. Kurapika was beginning to feel embarrassed. He was the boss; this needed to be more professional. "That was very nice." He cleared his throat. "I... I should be off to bed. Have a good night." Kurapika awkwardly left the room, leaving her there wondering what she had done wrong.

~~~~~~

Kurapika tossed and turned for hours that night. He lay in only a thin pair of shorts yet was sweating. He couldn't get the thought of her lips and body out of his head. He kept picturing her lying with him in the bed, her naked flesh against his. He was about to give up on sleep and get dressed when he heard a light knock on the door, followed by it slowly opening.

She was standing in the doorway, wearing a simple set of shorts and a tank top. "I felt your emotions from down the hall. Would you like me to help you sleep?" Her aura radiated, and Kurapika felt the immediate calming sensation she provided. He stood from the bed and came over to her. "Thank you." He sighed, staring deep into her eyes. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room, locking the door behind her. He didn't care anymore about professionalism; he only cared about her, wanting her, needing her. He pressed her against the door, snaking his hands around her figure while entangling his tongue with hers. He expertly lifted her, bringing her to eye level, never slipping from the kiss. He then carried her over to his bed.

Once Kurapika laid her on the bed, he lost his nerve for a second. He had never honestly done this. He stressed about disappointing her or embarrassing himself. Sensing his reluctance, she spoke to him softly. "Take your time; I'm not going anywhere." Her tone was almost a purr.

He fell to his knees in front of her, beginning to place kisses all over her stomach, legs, and anywhere he could get his hands and mouth. Her body reacted, savoring each touch of his lips on her skin. He felt the warmth between her legs and noticed he was salivating. He wanted to taste her, all of her. Lacing his fingers around the elastic of her shorts, he pulled them off in one motion. She bit her lip in anticipation.

Kurapika continued kissing slowly toward her center. Once close enough, he slid his tongue along the outside of her slit, causing a wonton moan to fall from her lips. "Kurapika, please, I need you," she called out.

That was all the permission he needed. He worked his tongue into her, slowly at first, as he tried to find a rhythm that pleased her. The more she moaned and ground her hips, the faster he got, relishing the feeling of her wetness on his face. He couldn't believe he had waited this long to try this, and couldn't imagine ever stopping. He was so enamored by it all that he didn't realize how hard he had become, his cock swelling through his shorts, begging to escape.

"I'm so close, Kurapika, it feels so good," she panted, grabbing a handful of his silky blonde hair as she pressed further into his face. He loved how this made him feel, knowing someone wanted him so bad and giving them everything. It was like a high, losing himself in her delicious heat.

"Kurapika, oh, fuck, I'm coming!" She came hard, crying his name at full volume. Fortunately, few stayed in the house after hours, but the ones there definitely had an idea of what was going on after that. He didn't care. After tonight, he'd never let her leave his side.

He pulled himself away from her, not wanting to stop but understanding if she needed a moment. He crawled on the bed beside her, nuzzling his face into her neck. "I'm sorry; I know that's probably not what you expected when you came to check on me."

She laughed. "No, but I'm not complaining." She rolled towards him, kissing him deeply to taste herself on his lips. It gave him shivers. "But now it's your turn." Kurapika looked dumbfounded. "We don't have to; I just…." She stopped him, putting a hand over his mouth. "Kurapika, if you don't want to, then we don't have to, but based on what I'm seeing," she eyed him up and down, "you do want to. I'll go slow, I promise." With that, she pushed him over on his back.

There was a hunger in her he had never seen. She kissed his tight abdomen and reached her hand slowly into his shorts, enveloping his aching cock with her fingers. Kurapika moaned deeply, having never felt someone else's touch on his erection. "Oh fuck," he whispered. She shifted to remove his shorts and gently ran her tongue from base to tip, dragging the motion out torturously. Once she made her way to the end, she circled around it with the tip of her tongue before carefully taking it in her mouth. Kurapika tried desperately not to move but struggled to fight the urge to push her further down. She slobbered on his hard cock, and slowly inched him deeper into her throat, taking him all in. She gagged a moment, then adjusted to his girth before moving back and forth up and down his shaft. Kurapika sounds grew as he held back near sobs of pleasure.

"I'm going to finish soon," he breathed out, feeling the climax coming any second. She stopped suddenly, a hopeless groan escaping Kurapika's lips. He looked at her with sad eyes, thinking he had screwed up, but instead, she shifted positions, balancing herself over his cock. She pulled the tank top over her head, revealing the rest of herself to him. Captivated by every curve, he slid his hands up around her breasts, caressing his thumbs lightly over her hardened nipples. They exchanged knowing smiles, and she whispered at Kurapika. "I'm going to put it in now. Is that ok?" He nodded, every part of him ready for this.

She adjusted herself over his shaft and slid him into her. They both let out moans, the ecstasy ripping through their bodies. She dragged her hips slowly, wanting to savor every inch of him. She knew she wouldn't last much longer. She felt the orgasm welling inside her, begging for release. Kurapika felt the same. "I'm so close. Please don't stop." He pleaded. "Please, I need this so bad; I love you, don't stop." His begging pushed her over the edge, sending waves of pleasure through her flesh. Watching her cum on his cock gave him unbelievable strength, and he thrashed his hips up hard as his cock exploded, filling her with everything he had.

She leaned forward, resting her head on his chest, feeling the rise and fall. His heartbeat was a haunting melody, and she wanted to listen for hours. His arms slid around her, pulling her in. He never wanted to let her go. "I love you. Thank you for being here."

"I love you too, Kurapika. I'm here forever."

~~~~

The following day, they awoke side by side, Kurapika's arm still surrounding her body. They had made love the rest of the night, realizing that their training also gave them endless stamina. Kurapika was insatiable; he swore he wouldn't leave this room if he didn't have to. He did keep to his oath; by the end of the week, he had moved all of her belongings into his room. She became his right hand, never leaving his side. This was his family now, and nothing would ever come between them.

Dhwani - a beautiful dream.

We met at a friend's wedding and she was from the bride's side while I was from the groom's. Upon introduction, we started talking and it just kind of continued. I realised that she was younger than me but we instantly clicked. She seemed like an introvert as she didn't mingle with the other guests much. She was very friendly and told me that she has heard about me and my friend from her cousin. But it was already night time the first day so we couldn't talk much. So I looked forward to see her the next day.

In the morning, I kind of looked for her but couldn't find her. Then I went on to get some of my stuff from the car and that's when I saw her near the garden with a beautiful maroon shawl and some flowers in her hand, white and red roses. She was coming for the stairs and I approached towards her and suddenly some flowers fell out of her hand. I told her to stop a while and that I'll pick them up. I started picking them while looking at her and our eyes met each other's. It was not the first time that our eyes met because we had already seen each other the night before but this time was something different. I handed her the flowers, all but one petal. The last one, which I picked of a red rose and kept in my front pocket. She smiled and I asked, "What will you do with these flowers?", to which she replied that she would dry them and keep them inside her books. Amazingly, I loved dry flowers too. I thought to myself, "How in the world she loves them too? But it is not impossible right? I mean, who doesn't love flowers? but also dried?"

Then we both left for our rooms to get ready for the wedding.

It was my time to get dressed but some family member had already occupied my washroom and most of the hotel rooms were occupied and so I was asked to use one of the available rooms. I was okay with that as weddings can be such, specially when family members from all parts of the region have come to attend it. And some of them had reached the hotel on that very morning. Then I walked the hallway with some of my clothes and searched for the room. I found the room no. 207 and without thinking much I rang the door bell of the room and a little girl opened it. Her name was Mouni or Munni, as much as I remembered from all the introductions from yesterday. The important thing was that she was Dhwani's little sister. So I expected Dhwani to be nearby. I looked around the room as much as I could before going all the way inside and there she was, Dhwani, all dressed in her traditional attire.

Dhwani was standing in front of the mirror and she was looking absolutely stunning. I didn't say much. I just explained my situation that all the rooms were occupied so I was told to come here. She immediately acknowledged and graciously offered her washroom and sat on the bed. She started searching for something in her black bag. I planned to have a shower and change myself there itself. I came out after a while and asked if I could borrow a comb. She offered one and now we were getting ready together. It was just the two of us in the room now as Mouni has gone to have her breakfast. Dhwani was wearing a cream colored mekhela sador and was doing her touchups and her makeup. I was wearing my black kurta. I wanted to talk to her about something so I asked her about the makeup kit. She explained to me which item is called what and how it works. I heard words like primer, powder and messcara and understood most of it, may be because I wanted to understand. She said that the kit was only for occasions like this and otherwise she uses some kajal and lipstick only. Then she asked if she can do my makeup as well. And I agreed as most of my stuff were in my room which was occupied. So it was a win-win for me. She started with some moisturizer, followed by a cream, but during this very professional makeup process I was just looking at her eyes, and god her eyes, I could look at them all day. She was praising my skin the whole time and I swear that I never thought so highly of my face or my skin. It would be unfair to not add this but at one point I did try to see us together in the big mirror in front of us. And then suddenly some other people came in to the room and after a while her mother as well and to her she said that she was just helping everyone with their makeup and that she tried her hands a bit on me as well.

Then the whole day went by and we saw each other from time to time while the wedding rituals went by. There was people everywhere and everyone was busy with something, so as the both of us. But whenever we saw each other we exchanged smiles and that was a different feeling altogether.

In the afternoon we all went to change as the reception would start in a few hours. I quickly changed and came to the reception hall so that I can see her but she had not yet arrived. I went to the room where the newly married couple was getting ready and I saw that some flowers are not being used by the bride so I asked the hair dresser and also the bride if I could keep one. They both said okay and my friend gave me the task to create a playlist to play during the reception. I agreed and left after clicking a few pictures with them. But soon realised that I was not that great with party music. I sat near the music system and tried to create a playlist but all the songs I was coming up were the same old generic wedding songs that everyone plays in the weddings, whereas, I wanted to create something special for my friend. I went to the balcony for some inspiration and that is when Dhwani came to my rescue. It was as if she came there in search of me. She came and stood near me and I told her about the playlist. I don't know how but she was way comfortable with me. We both sat in the balcony and she instantly started working on the playlist. Now we were a team and both of us started picking songs one by one. I didn't quite knew some of the songs she had suggested, so she sang bits and parts of the song so that I could recognize them and after a while we were ready with a solid playlist with a perfect combination of party music and wedding songs. And that is when she asked me if I would like to go out with her for a walk as it was getting a bit hot inside the wedding hall and also that there is still some time for the couple to arrive at the reception.

So we took the back door and climbed down the stairs from the second floor to the ground. I was wearing a kurta and she was wearing a saree, both all dressed up, now walking the streets in the evening. This is when we passed by a grocery store upon which she said, "What if we went in like this all dressed up?" I laughed and asked her if she would like to go grocery shopping with me. To which she agreed playfully. In my head I could think of a kickass reply but only after a while, "but the kids are waiting for us at home, no?"

After walking for a while I made the gesture of throwing a cricket ball to which she asked what I did and I said, "nothing". That puzzled her a bit. Then I put my hand inside my pocket and found the flower that I kept from the bride's hair makeup. I gave the beautiful white flower to her and she took it with a smile. She asked what flower it is, to which I replied, "chrysanthemum". She nodded to that. Then I said that she could add this one to her collection of dry flowers. She nodded once again.

We kept walking and it was almost dark by then and so we decided to return. Then I thought to myself that we barely even talked. I wished that the walk could go on a little longer and that I could talk a bit more with her. That is when I saw an ice cream wala. I told her that we can have some ice cream and then we can go back. She agreed. Then we went to have ice cream. I had to get my chocolate ice cream and she took strawberry. This is when we waited a while to enjoy the ice cream and we talked about the wedding. While talking about both the families and their relations she mentioned that she is actually a bit of an introvert and that she can't approach anyone directly. Then I asked her how she was able to talk to me, to which she replied that she was introduced to me by her sister and that is when we started talking from the first day and so it kind of continued. May be we both knew each other from somewhere? I don't know.

I then told her about having a bit of self confidence in us because some things have to be said by us because no one else can think exactly like us so we have to be able to express them in our own way to the world. She then mentioned that she creates art and writes poems and that she also sings and plays the guitar. I was amazed and told her to play something for me as well someday. I also told her that I tried my hand on the ukulele but failed miserably. Then she said that may be I didn't try hard enough with proper focus and so I should give it one more try. Then we returned to the venue and decided to take the lift.

While walking towards the lift we talked about our favourite books and authors and she recommended me some of her favorites. I also read one of my favourite urdu poems to her in the lift and trust me when I say this that I don't usually do such things. And when the lift reached our floor and the door opened, it was playing our playlist in the reception hall. I said, "our background music" to which she smiled and then her phone rang. She told me to come after a while so that no one would know that we were together. She walked in to the hall and after a few minutes I went in. There were guests everywhere, guests taking photos with the newly wedded couple, everyone dancing and celebrating but we could still find each other in the crowd and smile at each other.

After a while we planned to have dinner so she went with her family and I went with mine. After dinner I couldn't find her. I thought she might be clicking pictures somewhere. So I went to meet my friends, some of them just came from downstairs. One friend of mine randomly talked about some family members already leaving. I didn't think it was her. But soon realised that she had left with her family without saying a word, without a good bye.

[thegatesofsilverandbone]

Mark and Jason had always been up for new experiences, so when they saw a flyer advertising a local Holi festival, they jumped at the chance to go. Neither of them knew much about the festival beyond its vibrant colors and joyous atmosphere, but the idea of celebrating spring with music, dancing, and colored powders seemed like a great way to spend a Saturday.

They arrived at the park where the event was held, wearing plain white shirts and jeans. The air buzzed with excitement, laughter, and the sweet scent of festive treats. The crowd was a diverse mix of families, couples, and groups of friends, all ready to immerse themselves in the chaos of color.

“Ready to get messy?” Jason grinned, nudging Mark as they approached a table piled high with bowls of colored powder.

“Bring it on,” Mark laughed, grabbing a fistful of bright pink powder. He tossed it into the air, and it swirled around them in a burst of vivid color. The first plumes of pink dust brushed their skin, and they both coughed lightly as the powder settled over their faces and clothes.

As the dust touched them, Mark felt an odd, tingling sensation that spread from his fingertips up his arms. He glanced at Jason, who was blinking rapidly as if he felt something too. They shrugged it off, assuming it was part of the unfamiliar festival experience.

But as they wandered further into the crowd, something strange began to happen. Another cloud of orange powder was thrown their way, and this time, the tingling grew stronger, turning into a warm, almost magnetic pull deep within them. Mark’s skin, once pale, began to darken subtly, taking on a warm, golden-brown hue. Fine hair sprouted along his arms, and his hands, previously clean and manicured, became rougher, calloused, like those of a man who worked with them often.

“Whoa,” Jason murmured, rubbing his face as another splash of red powder hit them. The changes intensified. Jason’s light stubble thickened rapidly, spreading across his cheeks and jaw into a full, dense beard. His previously sharp, angular features softened into a broader, more masculine face. His hair, once a light brown, deepened to an inky black, curling slightly as it grew.

Mark watched, his own reflection mirrored in Jason’s shifting features. His hair darkened and thickened as well, cascading into loose, wavy locks. The changes felt oddly familiar, even comforting. A deep warmth blossomed in his chest, an emerging sense of belonging that he couldn’t quite explain.

They walked further, drawn into the throngs of revelers, as vibrant blue and green powders swirled around them. Each hit of color transformed them further. Mark’s body broadened, muscles rippling beneath his changing skin. His shirt tightened against his chest, showing off a thicker, sturdier build. Chest hair, dense and dark, peeked through the collar of his shirt.

Jason’s transformation mirrored Mark’s. His arms thickened, his biceps bulging as the dust continued to settle on his skin. His posture shifted, confident and proud, as if he’d always carried himself this way. His skin, now a rich brown, glowed under the sun, complemented by the colorful dust that clung to it. They looked down at each other’s clothes, once plain and now transforming into traditional kurtas, decorated with intricate patterns and vibrant hues.

Memories flooded their minds, rewriting the story of their lives. They weren’t just friends stumbling into a Holi festival; they were Sanjay and Amit, a married couple who had helped organize this very event for years. They remembered long nights spent planning, arguing over the best locations, ensuring the festival remained a safe space for their community. They remembered each other’s families, the small, shared apartment that always smelled of spices and laughter, and the pride they felt in being out and open within the queer desi community.

Sanjay reached for Amit’s hand, feeling the rough, familiar texture of his husband’s skin. Amit looked at him, eyes filled with the same warmth and love that had blossomed over years of shared experiences, highs and lows, joy and sorrow. They leaned in closer, their foreheads touching as more powder rained down around them, sealing the transformation. Their minds were completely in sync, fully embracing their new identities.

Amit pulled Sanjay into a tight embrace, their bodies fitting together perfectly, like two halves of a whole. They laughed, the sound rich and full, echoing the joy of the festival around them. The last cloud of colored powder—vivid purple—swirled in the air, enveloping them. Amit pressed his lips to Sanjay’s in a gentle, familiar kiss, soft yet filled with the history of a lifetime together. The world around them cheered and clapped, just another beautiful moment in a day of celebration.

As the dust finally settled, they stood there, holding each other, basking in the warmth of the sun and the love of the community they had helped build. They were no longer outsiders looking in; they were Sanjay and Amit, proud members of the local queer desi community, and this was exactly where they belonged.

Diwali gift (Theo)

Sanctuary masterlist

Taglist: @littlespacecastle @whumpymirages @flowersarefreetherapy

Lea and Theo get Diwali gifts. Part 2: Theo.

1k

CWs: BBU, pet whump, recovery whump, conditioning, collar

Theo takes his brightly-coloured parcel and opens it tentatively, expecting a trap. He's never gotten a gift from an owner that's actually a gift, after all.

It doesn't appear to be a trap, though. It seems to be... clothes?

He glances up at Mistress in time to see her say that what he has is a dhoti kurta. He's not sure what that is, although it's clearly clothes – mostly blue, with a length of orange fabric and blue shoes on top. He hasn't been told to look in the pile properly, so he doesn't, but he can see that much. Lea glances at him and then follows Mistress out of the room.

Theo's not sure what to do. He looks at Miss Indira for orders, and she gets to her feet and signs, "She's taking her to change clothes. Come with me."

Theo stands and follows her obediently into her bedroom.

"Put the clothes down." Theo does so, and Miss Indira hands him the white thermal leggings to change into, looking away while he does so. Then she picks up the length of blue cloth, crouching down stiffly. She holds the cloth behind him and it feels weird, someone waiting on him, lower down than him. It's... it's not right. He doesn't say anything though, letting her wrap it around his legs. It's fairly loose when she stands back up fully, but it's comfortable, and the leggings are soft.

"Thank you," he signs, hands small.

Miss Indira smiles and holds out the deep blue top. When Theo has it she turns back around, and he takes that as his cue to change into it. It feels very nice, and has gold embroidery around the neck and cuffs.

When Miss Indira turns back to face him, he spreads his arms uncertainly. She wants to see how he looks in it, right?

"Suits you. Do you want me to tell you what the clothing is?" Theo nods, and Miss Indira points to his top, speaking this time. "That's a kurta." She gestures to his trousers. "They're dhoti."

Then she holds something up. It's a light blue leather collar with gold stitching, and it looks so soft.

"Do you want to wear this? You don't have to," she signs.

Theo hesitates, and then nods. "Yes, ma'am." If he doesn't wear it, that means he's been bad. And he hasn't been bad, he doesn't want to be punished or abandoned. He tilts his head up, allowing Miss Indira to remove the collar he's currently wearing and buckle the new one on.

Theo swallows against the soft leather, relieved to feel the weight against his throat. It feels so soft, and it's not too tight, or too loose. He touches the leather gently with a finger. Even the outside is soft.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"You're welcome." Miss Indira nods to a pair of matching blue trainers and a light blue sleeveless jacket, which he slips on. The top of the jacket ends just below his collar. Then she picks up the length of bright orange woollen fabric and drapes it around his neck, tying it so it covers his collar and skin completely. Theo snuggles into it. "A dupatta."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Hmm. Shall I brush your hair?"

Miss Indira's hands are a bit choppy now. Her speech often gets like this after putting a collar on him, and he can't work out if she's angry or not. It always makes him nervous, but she hasn't hurt him yet, so– so she probably won't, right?

"Yes please, ma'am."

Theo kneels in front of the full-length mirror, and Miss Indira sits on the end of the bed behind him. With the mirror there, he doesn't feel quite as tense as he normally does with someone behind him, and he doesn't jump when she lays a hand on his shoulder, brushing carefully through his curly hair.

Theo doesn't understand what all this is for. It's clearly a present, a treat, but what's he done right? It's not for a video or anything, Mistress and Miss Indira don't do those of him and Lea, so that means he must've done something right. He just wishes he knew what, so he could repeat it.

A fluffy ginger cat bumps against the side of his leg and he bends down to stroke them, feeling them purr. Miss Indira smiles.

Maybe befriending Mittens is enough. But... how could it be? He's lucky to even be allowed to befriend her, that can't be why he's being rewarded.

It doesn't take long to brush Theo's hair, and when he's done, Miss Indira gestures for him to stand. She moves just in front of him, so he can see her hands.

"Is that okay?"

Theo nods. He likes the look of himself, he looks fancy. These aren't Pet clothes though. Definitely not. They're too nice and warm. The material's too soft.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you give me a present, ma'am? I'm very grateful."

"Because it's Diwali. We give gifts on Diwali. And you need something to wear out tonight."

That last part makes more sense, but Theo still doesn't understand why he needs clothes like these. He's a Pet, not a person, and these are person clothes.

Tonight's meant to be a nice surprise, Miss Indira said. Maybe she wants Theo dressed up for it. He knows from his training that owners can have strange wishes.

"Do you understand?"

Theo nods. He doesn't, not really, but Miss Indira wants him to understand so he has to agree. He's just a stupid Pet, he doesn't need to know why, he just needs to obey.

Maybe Lea will know.

"Good." She strokes his hair and he pushes up into it, unable to help himself. "Come on. Let's go back."

Miss Indira leads the way back into the living room. Mistress and Lea aren't back yet, and Miss Indira hands him a boiled sweet, which he holds in his mouth, letting the flavour fill him.

He might not understand the reasons for all this, but he quite likes it, even if, as a Pet, he shouldn't really have opinions. It's... good.

And when Mistress and Lea re-enter the room, both smiling, Lea looking stunning in a golden yellow sari, it feels even better.

Enhance Your Ethnic Look with Kurta Sets

A few pieces of traditional Indian dress are as versatile and attractive as a kurta set with dupatta. This classic combination is ideal for women who desire to remember their ethnic roots while exuding elegance and charm. A kurta set with a dupatta is the perfect combo to improve your style, whether you're attending a festive occasion, a wedding celebration, or just want to add a bit of ethnic flare to your regular wardrobe. Let us explore the gorgeous attire's beauty, flexibility, and prominence.

The Kurta Set's Essence:

A kurta set normally includes three important components: a kurta (long tunic), pants, and a dupatta (long scarf). The kurta serves as the main attraction of the ensemble, with exquisite embroidery, patterns, or embellishments that provide a sense of richness. It may be made from a variety of materials, including silk, cotton, chiffon, and georgette, each of which adds a particular personality to the costume. 

Styling Flexibility:

The adaptability of a kurta paired with a dupatta is one of its most enticing aspects. You may play around with different color combinations and patterns to create an outfit that matches your unique style and the occasion. A cotton kurta set with a vividly patterned dupatta, teamed with comfy leggings, is ideal for a casual day out. If you're going to a formal occasion, wear a silk kurta set with elaborate embroidery and a beautifully embroidered dupatta. A kurta set allows you to exhibit your individual fashion sense, whether you like a classic, traditional appearance or a contemporary blend.

The importance of the Dupatta:

The dupatta is an important part of Indian fashion and culture. It represents grace, humbleness, and elegance. It may be draped in a variety of forms, including the conventional front pallu drape, the one-shoulder drape, and the waist belt style, each of which creates a distinct look. The dupatta not only offers visual appeal but also serves functional needs such as sun protection and veiling during religious events. Furthermore, it allows for the display of regional crafts and art forms, such as delicate embroidery, mirror work, or hand-painted motifs.

Cotton kurta sets are a popular and adaptable alternative in South Asian fashion for both men and women. These outfits often include a long tunic-style shirt, known as a kurta, and matching pants or leggings. They come in a broad range of colors, styles, and patterns, making them appropriate for a number of situations.

The comfort of cotton kurta sets is one of their key features. Cotton is a lightweight, breathable fabric that keeps you cool in hot, humid conditions. As a result, it is a favorite option for summer weddings, festivals, and other outdoor gatherings.

Another benefit of cotton kurta sets is their adaptability. Depending on the situation, they may be worn up or down. A cotton kurta set can be matched with traditional jewelry, such as a necklace and earrings, and worn with dress shoes for a more formal event. The kurta may be worn with sandals and a loosened hairdo for a casual look.

Cotton kurta sets are extremely popular due to the variety of styles and patterns. There is something to suit every taste and style, from delicate embroidery and beading to vivid designs and bold stripes. Paisley, floral, and geometric patterns are some of the most popular patterns.

Cotton kurta sets have also been trendy among males in recent years. Traditionally used for informal occasions, they are now increasingly being worn on formal occasions as well. Men's kurta sets may include more subdued motifs and colors, such as solids or basic stripes. You will find your desired kurtas only on “Yufta 10”.

The Ultimate Guide to Ethnic Dresses for Baby Girls

The Ultimate Guide to Ethnic Dresses for Baby Girls: Stylish, Adorable, and Oh-So-Traditional! When it comes to dressing up our little princesses, nothing trumps the charm of ethnic wear. Baby girls dressed in traditional attire? Still can't breathe; that's how taken my heart has been! From a family function, festival, or just a Sunday when you feel like celebrating your culture, ethnic dresses are the ultimate show-stoppers!. But with so many choices available (and a toddler who won't sit still), how does one choose the perfect outfit? Don't worry, dear reader! We'll walk you through the colorful world of baby ethnic fashion for girls. Get ready to LOL, for the beautifulness, and some major "awwws"!

1. Cotton Skirts for Girls: Comfort Meets Elegance

For starters, there are the unsung heroes of ethnic wear—the humble cotton skirt. These are not only adorable but also super practical. Unlike fussy dresses, a cotton skirt lets your little one move, groove, and occasionally chase the family dog without discomfort. Try pairing it with a cute blouse or even just a plain top to bring out the old with the new. Add a dash of accessories like bangles or a teeny-weeny bindi and voila! Your little baby girl is ready to steal hearts. Why Cotton Skirts Rock: Perfect for summer weddings or hot festival days (because sweat is not cute). Easier to maintain—spills? No problem, toss it in the wash. Can be mixed and matched with any other outfit. Pro Tip: Pick dresses that have an elastic waistband. Toddlers hate buttons or zippers unless they are trying to undo them! 2. Toddler Girl's Birthday Dress: Princess Vibe Activated Ah, birthdays—a magical day where mom and dad prepare for weeks, only for the birthday girl to cry over an uneven slice of cake. Still, the outfit is non-negotiable. A birthday frock for baby girls is a must-have, and ethnic-inspired frocks bring a fresh twist to the celebration. Envision a frock with zari embroidery or delicate mirror work. The meeting of olden designs with the modern styles of frock is genius through and through. She's going to look absolutely royal for the 'Gram but so comfortable that she can just blow those candles.

Birthday Frock Checklist:

Soft fabrics are in order to avoid any "itchy dress" tantrums. Frocks should come with fun elements like sequins, ruffles, or even a mini dupatta! Go with sparkly shoes for some added oomph.

3. Kurta Set for Kids- Miniature Elegance

You see what's even cuter than a baby girl? A baby girl in a kurta set for kids. It's traditional, stylish, and oh-so-classy. Be it for Diwali, a casual family dinner, or any other such occasion, the outfit of a kurta set stays fittingly perfect. Kurta sets come in all styles—from embroidered to printed and even pastel shades for a modern twist. Pair the kurtas with leggings or churidars, and do not forget to add a matching dupatta for that "aww" factor. Why Kurta Sets Win: They are actually practical for all-day events, allowing maximum comfort. Available in a range of sizes and designs to suit every occasion. Perfect for twinning moments if you also plan to wear a kurta. Styling Tip: Throw in a teeny weeny jutti - traditional Indian footwear to complete the style. Caution Ahead: Be prepared for a deluge of compliments by aunties at the event. 4. Chaniya Choli for Kids: The Teeny Little Twirl Machines When the Garba or the wedding occasion knocks, the chaniya choli for kids is the real deal. This Gujarati-inspired outfit throws vibrant colors, intricate embroidery, and those gorgeous mirror details. Bonus: Seeing your little girl twirl around in the skirt as if she is the stage star. Spoiler: She is. Chaniya cholis are versatile enough to fit in everything from Navratri nights to photo shoots.

How to Choose the Perfect Chaniya Choli:

Opt for light-weight fabrics that will not weigh your child down so she can dance and twirl freely. Ensure the waistband is adjustable because, Lord knows, kids grow faster than you do! Accent it all with bangles, a sweet maang tikka, and maybe even a little potli bag. Mom Tip: Always have an extra outfit on hand. Kids and desserts are a mishmash. 5. Blending Modern with Traditional Who says ethnic wear can’t be trendy? These days, you’ll find fusion outfits that combine the best of both worlds. Think denim jackets over lehengas or crop tops paired with cotton skirts. This blend ensures your baby girl looks traditional but also stands out from the crowd. And of course, do not forget to play with colors. Bright hues such as mustard yellow, fuchsia pink, and turquoise blue are always winners. And how good they look in photographs!

6. Fabric First: Baby-Friendly

Let's be honest here; sometimes traditional outfits are stunning but not so baby-friendly. Always prioritize soft, breathable fabrics like cotton, silk blends, or georgette to keep your little one comfortable. And remember: babies have a talent for spilling things. Go for outfits that are easy to clean and maintain. No use spending a lot of money on heavy zari work if it is going to be drenched in chocolate pudding in 10 minutes.

7. The Art of Accessorizing

Accessories are the icing on the cake of any ethnic outfit. For a baby girl, the less, the merrier. Steer clear of heavy jewelry and opt for lightweight ones like: Bangles (soft ones to avoid scratches). Hair bands or clips with ethnic designs. Anklets with small bells for that sweet chhan-chhan sound. 8. Where to Shop? From boutique stores to online platforms, the world is your oyster. Look for brands that specialize in kids' ethnic wear to ensure quality and comfort. Bonus points if they offer matching parent-child outfits (because why should only the baby have all the fun?).

Conclusion: Dressing Up, Smiles, and Memories

The most important thing about ethnic dresses for baby girls is that it should balance tradition, comfort, and cuteness well. Be it a casual breezy cotton skirt or a dazzling chaniya choli for a festive occasion, there's something magical about your little one embracing her cultural roots in style. And remember, the real joy isn’t just in the outfit—it’s in the giggles, the twirls, and the unforgettable memories you’ll create. So go ahead, dress her up, and get ready for a flurry of compliments (and probably a few requests for pictures).
