Yandere Gladiator
A man can become a god in the arena. But all he fights for is you.
Tumblr media
In his own country, he was nothing more than a soldier. But cities always fall to the might of Rome and Yandere! Gladiator learns the hard way that slavery is the reward for defying the Emperor.
Yandere! Gladiator who's thrown into the ring with criminals and slaves, with nothing but a dull sword to protect himself.
Yandere! Gladiator who uses every trick and instinct to win. Who stands covered in blood and sand as the crowds cheer, his chest heaving.
Yandere! Gladiator who must have a lucky star.
Yandere! Gladiator who wins by the skin of his teeth every time. Who goes from fighting criminals to fighting lions to fighting champions.
Yandere! Gladiator whose sword gets sharper with each victory.
Yandere! Gladiator who starts attracting sponsors - rich Patricians who lavish him in gifts.
Yandere! Gladiator who stands still in shock when one of his patrons gifts him a slave of his own - you.
Yandere! Gladiator who isn't sure what to do. Despite what people say, he can't see you as just a piece of property. And when you bow before him, the scars from his own slave collar itch.
Yandere! Gladiator who just nods helplessly when you offer to do things for him. Sharpen his sword. Clean the blood and grit off his armor. Oil and braid his hair before each fight.
Yandere! Gladiator who can only dip his head in thanks, always avoiding your eyes as though he isn't your master.
Yandere! Gladiator who watches you when your back is turned. The shape of your hips, the curve of your shoulder, the delicate skin on the side of your neck... He drinks in every part of you whenever he can.
Yandere! Gladiator whose eyes go sharp and dangerous when the other fighters talk about his "pretty little slave girl."
Yandere! Gladiator who slowly falls in love.
You aren't sweet or innocent or any of the other qualities he's been told to look for in a woman. You're blunt and deadpan, with a jaded view of the world.
But you're always there.
Rubbing his aching muscles after a week of brutal training. Carefully dressing his cuts after every tournament. Bringing him food cooked with all the herbs you know of that grant strength and speed.
Yandere! Gladiator who fights his battles not just to survive, but to return to you.
Yandere! Gladiator who admires your strength more than any opponent he's faced. A slave girl doesn't have an easy life - he shudders to think what other masters have demanded of you.
And despite the collar and the labour and the long nights spent treating him, you never complain.
Yandere! Gladiator who becomes known through Rome for his skill in the arena. Who looks like a child of Mars with his armour and crested helmet, his sword stained scarlet.
Yandere! Gladiator who dreams of you in his arms every night. Who longs to hear your voice even when the crowds scream his name.
Yandere! Gladiator who finally earns enough money to buy you from his patron. Who sits quietly in front of the fire while you comb his hair, staring into the flames and thinking. Eventually he finds the courage to ask.
What would you do with your freedom?
Your hands grow still.
Return home. To my father's farm with it's ancient olive groves.
Yandere! Gladiator who squeezes his eyes shut like you've hurt him.
Of course you would leave. He was a fool to think otherwise. And yet... he couldn't help imagining you staying with him. Willingly.
Yandere! Gladiator who asks around about your home. Sold, he learns. The farmer couldn't pay his debts and his daughter was sold as a slave to his creditors.
Yandere! Gladiator who uses the money he saved to buy your father's farm instead of your freedom.
It's selfish, he knows. If he loved you as you deserved, you would be your own master again.
But he can't let you go.
Yandere! Gladiator who watches the longing flicker across your face when he tells you the news. Who tries to convince himself you'll be happy here, that your collar won't weigh as heavy.
Yandere! Gladiator who kills for a living and doesn't bat an eye.
But whose hands shake when they touch your skin.
