lighter loves getting massages from you. they’re not top quality like those massage parlors but they’re comforting, not as painful too. the simple shoulder massage that has him closing his eyes, feeling your touch on his skin. soft grunts and groans leave his body as his aching muscles also lose their tension from before.
he especially likes it when your hands slowly go up his neck and to his scalp. his brain shuts off as your fingers tangle through his dark teal locks and focus on giving him scalp massages. even after you’re done, he’s just stuck there for a moment. his body relishing in all of the pressure that had been released from his body, all because of your hands. maybe next time you should consider washing his hair while giving him a scalp massage….

Ghil Dirthalen: 'Interview with John Epler || Dragon Age: The Veilguard {Marketing Spoilers}'
(Before deciding whether to watch this video, please note the spoiler warning in the title and in the video description below. ^^ also the segments of the video I mention below are not to do with DA:TV!)
Video description: "Welcome, welcome! I was honored with being able to go to the Veilguard preview event earlier this month, and I got 20 minutes of John Epler's time to ask him questions on the upcoming game! Epler is currently the Creative Director for Veilguard, but has been with the series for ages now. Near the tail end of the video, I do ask questions about some details of the game that were released in marketing so far, so please keep that in mind!"
[source]
Segment:
Ghil: "Kind of in the background doing a lot of heavy lifting in the fandom is a Tumblr user called Felassan." John Epler: "Yes." Ghil: "And they're actually a very good friend of mine. And I know that they would just be overjoyed if I asked to your face, is there any chance that we can get a Last Court just out, back out into the wild?" John Epler: "Last Court - the problem, I would say I don't actually have a great answer to that one, largely because that's not, that's not fully ours, that's owned by another company, so."

Maybe I reading this wrong but this popped into my head on a reread: Does Leo like fighting his family not only to feel their ninpo but also because fighting is the only way he has had physical contact in the last five years? If it is that just makes every fight scene all the more angst filled, not that they needed help in that particular aspect. Thank you so much for writing an amazing story.
I'M
THIS IS DEVASTATING AND I LOVE IT
#CRYING YOUR BRAIN IS SO BIG#but you're right Leo hasn't known a touch free of violence in five years#and in a way it's what he thinks he deserves#he remembers (somewhat) how to hold back himself#but he doesn't expect anyone to hold back for him#don't worry he'll get some much needed TLC later though#his fam is going to take very good care of him i promise#TNV asks#TNV Final Chapters Spoilers

It seemed like it was just yesterday when they were together, but that was years ago.
I could see that Cinder is much prettier, and extraordinarily elegant being a lunar ambassador accompanied by someone else.
Masterlist
on an angst speed run, and this is one of the lucky one's that gets answered on it, I had fun writing this, but this fic covers a lot of styles that's alreay written in my other fics. I hope you like it, anon!
Words: 2.7k
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
Kai's Perspective:
"Kai," he heard someone call from behind, too engrossed in the ongoing conversation. Kai was slow to react, and before he could realise it, Miss Sommers was in his face.
"Miss Sommers, it's lovely to see you," he wished, a fake smile pasted on his pale face. Everyone knew how obnoxious this lady from the States could be; no one was particularly fond of her. However, the Foreign Minister was required to be present at the Earthen-Lunar treaty signings.
"Well, I'd say the same, but I'm surprised to find you here," she chuckled, flapping her palm against his arm, and Kai tried everything in him to keep the grimace he was feeling in check.
"Whatever, do you mean?" He asked instead, puzzled.
"Did you not hear?" Miss Sommers questioned, eyebrows raised in concern, it would have looked quite motherly if she wasn't a huge pain in the ass.
"Forgive me for not paying attention, but what are you referring to?"
"My God, you really don't know!" She exclaimed, reaching out to the first glass of champagne available, forcing it into his hands, and said, "-You're gonna need this boy!"
"I don't quite understand, Miss Sommers," Kai said, now getting worried at the woman's antics.
"Why boy, the Lunar Ambassador is flashing her fiancee!" She shouts, catching enough eyes from the overlookers, Kai's puzzled at the remark until her words settle in on him.
"I knew you would need the champagne," Miss Sommers whispers to herself, rubbing arms against his arm, in some assuring gesture, but Kai was too numb to mind.
Selene Blackburn was here. She'd returned to Earth after 4 years. And she was with a fiancee.
"I didn't know she would be coming," Kai found himself saying, "-the fiancee is the real shock, I'd say-" she replied, and he nodded to it, because what else could he do.
Selene Blackburn had a fiancee. What a shocking revelation! She didn't want anything like that with Kai.
"Her step-sister's here too. All the men flocking around her are driving her white boy crazy. He keeps on glaring at them," Someone joined in, and now people are around him, chattering about the Lunar Sisters, and it's definitely driving him crazy.
"I might have to step out ladies," Kai murmurs and all the people are staring at him.
"-Your Majesty, I hope you aren't planning to say a hello-",
"-Obviously not, he isn't stupid, besides what good would that do him-",
"- He needs a moment, let's just make space for him-"
And Kai's delighted at the kind voice, of the British Prince Adam, leading him away from the crowd to a secluded corner.
"Not a good time to be you, Kai," He points, and Kai finally lets himself exhale the breath he had been holding.
"Never a good time to be," Kai retorted, all these public gatherings definitely found a way to embarrass him.
"Whatcha gonna do?" Adam asked, his blonde hair falling across his forehead, in a way, that made it look shabby yet handsome.
"Not much, go home and forget this all happened-"
"Kai, she's with a fiancee-"
"I heard, Sommers yell it in my ear 3 times,-" He gritted, but was cut short by Adam's words, "-She's getting married-"
"-that's what people usually plan to do when they have a fiancee," Kai says, sarcasm dripping in his voice. He knows, there's a fiancee. He doesn't know what to say, doesn't know what all these aristocrats want him to say. All he knows is that they want a spectacle, and Kai won't be giving anyone that.
"Kai," Adam chided, "-this isn't funny."
"Don't you think I know it," Kai yells, losing his temper, "my once girlfriend walked in after 4 years with a fiancee. I definitely know how not funny this is!"
"I didn't mean-"
"Look, buddy, I know you mean well, but today's not a good time, just let me process this," Kai requests, turning before there's any answer. He's gonna go in the chamber, talk with the other 3 nation leaders he's missed tonight, and then he will hop on a plane to the Commonwealth.
Zoey, his secretary would take care of that, he knows the girl will ask a lot of questions on the way home, but she will get her job done. All Kai needs to do is survive another 45 minutes.
Easy.
It wasn't easy.
All they wanted to talk about was these 'condolences' at the downside of fate in Kai's love life. No useful talk, or mention of the tariff rates, or trade policy, but only 'Selene Blackburn and her fiancee'. He's started thinking about leaving, it won't make any difference.
But then he sees her. She's wearing a white floral dress, that reaches her knees, metal leg on display, and it's paired with silver sandals. Hair tied in a braid, like something messy, but coming off together to give some resemblance of a good hairstyle.
It's just like yesterday, Kai would walk in and join the conversation - a cheeky kiss slipped in between, and the onlookers would roll their eyes, but smile abashedly.
And then there's her fiancee, hands pulling her closer. The sight's enough to shatter all the calm Kai has managed for so long.
"Emperor," he hears a familiar voice. Winter.
"Miss Hayle," Kai greets her, but his eyes don't leave the couple.
"Are you doing well, Kai?" She asks, and he finally turns to look at her, "Is that a trick question, Winter?"
"Cousin's getting married."
"So I have heard. Please pass along my best wishes to the happy couple."
"She would like to hear it from you," Winter whispers and Kai has to hold back an insult. He likes Winter, she has a way for funny suggestions but is pure at heart.
"I won't like to offer them in person, probably should send a card," Kai argues, a wry smile on his face.
"If that's best for you, Emperor," Winter remarks, leaving silence hanging between the two, only for Kai to start a conversation, to make her company bearable, "Where's Jacin? I heard he had arrived as well."
"He did. Someone from the hospital called. Emergency, you see."
"Very well. I hope it's nothing serious," Kai says, and adds, "-for the patient, I mean," in clarification.
He isn't really into the words, a poor dialogue won't hurt Winter's sentiment, knowing her, something else might have already taken her attention. His on the other side, was glued to the spectacle of a couple tonight.
"Don't be so obvious, Mateo!"
He heard this laugh, sass so obvious in his voice, and even if it had been years since he'd heard the voice, the timbre of it would never not be recognized by Kai. So obviously hers.
She was on the opposite side of the room, mingling with the crowds, throwing her head out, shaking hands, and cheering on some younger diplomats. She's saying some other charming phrase, as her eyes turn, and they land on him.
Even if he's feet away from her, the change in her demeanour is evident. Her eyes widened in mild shock, body stiff, as her hands stopped mid-movement. But she's quick to school her expression, joining back in the talk like nothing had happened.
She didn't expect him here, either.
Good, some part within Kai thinks, at least she's embarrassed about her self-parade.
"Your Majesty," someone greets, on him. And it's not one of the familiar faces, Kai's seen in such parties. He nods, acknowledging the greeting. If the man had anything to say, he'd continue. Otherwise, it's just a polite hello to the Emperor.
He's quick to realize that he might be one of Winter's admirers, but upon glancing at his side. There's no trace of the Lunar Princess, and for a moment Kai's worried until he notices a speck of curly black hair, dancing in the middle of the room. With Jacin. That's a relief.
However, the man before him hadn't left or said anything to give away his wishes, or identity, putting Kai in a state of confusion, until he says.
"We've heard a lot about you. Your sacrifices at the beginning of your term were remarkable!"
"Please don't flatter, I must keep my nation's interest above mine," Kai says, and not wanting to waste much time asks, "I'm not sure if we have met?"
"No, no. We haven't met, Your Majesty!" The man says, hurriedly, "I wouldn't expect you to recognize, especially in the circumstances we meet, I'm Tristan Padilla. Lunar Aristocrat."
"It's nice meeting you, Mr. Padilla! I'm Kaito, but you probably already know that" Kai says, humour in his words.
With his back against the crowd, he doesn't notice the person walking towards them, nor does he have a way of knowing, why all the eyes have been looking in their direction.
"Kai," there's a whisper, and he didn't expect to hear his name called out. Not from her. He won't turn around, but that won't matter, since she joins in, moving between the two men, and just slightly, moves to the right.
"I didn't expect to see you here," she admits, "-you'd say, it's been a while, but I thought you'd give up on these parties, a long ago."
She's talking, but Kai has nothing to say. Nothing to offer except his silence, but then he's always been a diplomat. The words come to him, it's second nature.
However, there's a silence. Awkard and Suffocating. Not more than a few seconds, but it's enough to see that she's reconsidering meeting him. Like she should.
"Ambassador Blackburn," he greets, tight-smiled, "These meetings are where real sways happen, can't forsake them now, can I?"
There's no emotion in his voice, but obviously some bite, and the way, his rhetorical question gets followed by silence, he knows it's hit its mark.
"Well, I won't say I understand, since I've obviously been away from such a meeting," she says, grimaces evident, "-but that's not what brings me here today-"
"Oh, I have heard, engagement. I have to admit, didn't see that one coming," Kai mocked, but taking pity, asked, "There's been talk of the lucky man, where's he been?"
The tension that had been evident between them, had just skyrocketed. She was no longer this jolly leader, but someone more tensed, and humiliated, as she looked around nervously. Kai couldn't understand the sudden change in her actions. Until it all clicks.
"I wouldn't expect you to recognize, especially in the circumstances we meet, I'm Tristan Padilla."
This man was her fiancee.
He'd told him, it was pleasing to meet. How unlike that, he thought now!
"It's been simply exceptional to meet you two. I despise to cut our talk short, but I have to go," Kai apologized, swiftly turning on his feet.
He hadn't expected her to be so cruel, parading her to-be husband before an entire gathering was one thing, but gloating about it in his face, was downright inhuman.
"I'm so sorry, Kai-" she calls behind him, but he doesn't have time for this apology.
"Kai, I really didn't think you would be here, I can't imagine how hurt you-"
And with those words, out of her mouth, he's annoyed, and really furious, as he turns, "No, but you saw as your fiancee came all the way down the hall, to greet me, and you let him!"
"I didn't know-"
"Oh, really? Because, if I was going to marry a man, I'd recognize when he was standing next to me!" Kai yells back, his voice rising, as he tries to keep the hurt away.
"What do you want me to say?"
"I don't know, but I won't expect to come back after 4 years with a partner to flaunt! Absolutely, not on the same night!"
"I'm not gonna apologise for loving someone-" she says, anger clear in the way, her eyebrows scrunched, nostrils flared.
"No, no. You can love whoever you want, but what you did in there, was inhuman, Cinder."
"I didn't do anything," she says, and then there's a flash of hurt in her eyes, "why am I even talking to you?"
"I don't think you reached out in apology," Kai retorts, walking out to the elevator.
"Kai, I know you're angry, but I didn't mean to wound you. I approached you only to intervene, but then the sight of you was unbearable, and-" she rambled, and for a minute Kai looked at her. The tanned face, obviously wearing make-up, chapped plum lips, and the entirety of the loss, hit him in his gut, "-I lost my words at the sight of you."
"Cinder, you have a fiancee."
"I know, Kai. And I love him, very much. It was just astonishing to see you," she says, voice lowered in a whisper.
"Can't say likewise, Sommers yelled in my face that you're with a man," Kai remarks, and she laughs at it, and for a moment, it's like old times. The way she smiled, crooked on the tail end, and the way her eyes sparkled.
He'd seen the shine in her eyes, vanish in their last days together, and how it all but lost their twinkle, when he told her, that they couldn't be.
She's getting married. Her man is in the other room.
The shine in her eyes, it's not for him. Not over him, either. It's for Tristan Padilla. Kai's extremely envious of it. He might have forgotten the existence of a love of years, but the ache of this missing person he had imagined his life with, was always haunting. It came back in a magnanimous form, at the sight of her. She was the ache, after all.
"I didn't think it would come to this," Cinder murmurs, not quite meeting his eye, and that's the way he will have it. Kai can't promise he'd have eyes filled to brim with tears.
"Stars, I didn't think it would be like this," Kai agrees, and it's there, this shared history they both share, the way it lingers in them, and the people around them. Kai wonders if it ever goes away.
"This isn't a good time, but I want to be free of this," Cinder says, her metal fingers twisting an open hair tangle, "I really loved you, Kai. And even when it couldn't be, I waited for you. Some miracle, but it just didn't come, and there was hope when I turned Luna into a democracy. But there was so much anguish when I realized you would never come," She finished.
The words hurt, but it's not something he hadn't thought about himself, there was always opposition, and he hated how he didn't push enough, but deep down Kai knew, it wasn't meant to be. Even when it took too much pain to admit it, Cinder and Kai weren't meant to be. Not like the Emperor and Queen.
In simpler times, they'd probably be something more, but they were hardly simple. No point, thinking about it.
"You know how much of an assholes, aristocrats are. I wanted to, but there wasn't much I could do with my hands tied. My people will always come before," Kai gives the only explanation, he can provide. The 'us' left unsaid.
"Nobility was one of my favourite traits about you," Cinder replied, "I'm sorry about the hurt tonight caused you, but I'm engaged and happy. Tristan's a good man."
"You don't have to apologise about it, I was hurtful too," Kai admits, and he wants to hug her, in the form of closure, but he knows that it won't do anyone good, so he lets it be.
"I'd have to go," Kai says, his flight was waiting. He gives her a glum smile and walks away, but making up his mind, he turns.
"I wish you two the best, Cinder. Whenever it happens, have a married life," Kai says.
When he's halfway to Commonwealth, Kai knows that there wouldn't have been an orange flicker, in her retina scanner.

need more points or ideas of romantic things you think our emperor would do for his beloved cyborg!!
If she's sitting down and he wants to tell her something, he comes up behind her, leans down and wraps his arms around her neck so their faces are close.
He brings her tea and coffee during the day even though that's Nainsi's job, just so he can check up on her.
Whenever she's self-deprecating, he says "hey, that's my wife you're talking about. Don't be rude!"
Picks out outfits and jewellery for her that he thinks will look nice. She loves it because she doesn't have to think about what will match or look good as that's not her skill set.
Asks her to tell him all about whatever mechanical task she's tackling today. He doesn't understand a word of it. But he loves hearing her speak passionately (and it's hilarious how in canon he finds it "weirdly attractive". Yes Kai, it is weird 🤣).
He genuinely thinks she looks beautiful 24/7, all dressed up or a total slob, and he says this to her one time and she says, "you're just saying that." So he goes out of his way to compliment her regularly and if she brushes it off he follows up with, "is your lie detector flashing?" Sometimes she jokingly lies and says it is (it never is, he never lies to her), so he says "my Cinder lie detector is flashing."

I feel like as much as Cinder would like to have her hair up in a ponytail (to keep it out of her way), she ends up wearing it down more over time because it’s probably a bit more “formal” than a messy up-do (even if Kai thinks it’s cute). But with that, she eventually just wears her hair down a majority of the time and often gets hair cuts that suit it. and Kai can’t stop looking at her like “You look so pretty with your hair down, Cinder” and she internally blushes
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYINNGGGG OH MY GOSH
so yeah cinder loves putting her hair in a pony tail ever since she was small. it’s comforting, preferable, and a little reminiscent. but like afterward sooooo many events and stuff, she js gets tired of having to take her hair out all the time so she js leaves it
so time passes on and she just gets used to it down until it’s down all time. ofc, kai would comment on it a LOT because he just loves her hair. and he especially loved how the soft locks would tickle his face when he hugged her from behind. that helps cinder ease into wearing it all the time.
and when she’s a mom, she has that motherly look with long hair and a warm smile :)

Hello! I'm very happy to found your blog... since you said you accept darker content request... would you mind doing something related to "bullying" with lee kageyama and ler oikawa? I feel like only Oikawa strong enough to bully Kageyama, because Kageyama itself was already intimidating in my opinion... Thank you so much in advance! P.S. please avoid foot tickles hehe
Tea Type: Black Coffee
Potential Triggers: Bullying using tickling, I'm gonna give a non-con warning for tickling too, some trauma responses and panicked behavior
Pairing: Oikawa/Kageyama
Length: 1.6k+
Summary: A chance meeting leads to familiar feelings and anxieties thought long forgotten.
A/N: Hope you enjoy this anon, apologies for the wait! I was a little unsure just how dark I wanted to go with it so it took a bit to finish it but I hope you enjoy the final product! Definitely let me know whatcha think <3
Chance Meetings*
“Is that who I think it is?”
Kageyama froze in place; a long forgotten feeling of dread settling in his stomach. He felt his heart beat faster, heat flooding his cheeks as his eyes darted around, looking for an escape. He knew he shouldn't have gone to the sports store today. If he ran- he just knew he wouldn't get far. Not with him.
A familiar arm slung around his shoulder and he whirled to lock eyes, still frozen.
Oikawa laughed, eyes glittering in amusement at Kageyama's shock.
“I should've known if I'd catch you anywhere it'd be here; heard you've been doing pretty well for yourself nowadays. Your team is pretty good.”
Kageyama nodded stiffly, wanting nothing more than for this to be over with. Maybe if he just told him what he wanted to hear he'd leave without a fuss. He cleared his throat and shrugged off Oikawa's arm, turning his face away as he headed towards the doors, trying to make it look casual. He tried to ignore the lump in his throat as he followed just behind him, a cheerful grin on his face.
“Yeah, yours too. You're just as strategic as ever.”
“What can I say? Got to keep my opponents guessing~”
He tried not to remember his old encouragement methods, but failed, feeling more heat in his cheeks as he reached his car. He felt the weight in his chest begin to subside, a bit of genuine happiness making a small smile spread across his lips.
“Sorry to cut the conversation short, I've actually got to meal prep for this week, but it was great seeing you again.”
Kageyama turned to try and open his car door but inhaled as Oikawa leaned over him, one arm over his head, subtly keeping the door closed and drawing his attention back his way. He tried not to flinch at the way Oikawa's once playful, light expression darkened, but only in his eyes. His voice and words remained bubbly. They were still in public after all.
“Aww but I haven’t seen you in soo long Tobio~ I can help you! You don't mind me tagging along do you?”
Kageyama debated his options, nibbling his bottom lip and came to a decision. There really wasn't one. Oikawa was nothing if not resourceful, and stubborn. If he didn't agree now? He'd just get it worse later. Oikawa had never had any issues biding his time. He'd once said it gave him time to think up more “fun ideas”. For him, of course.
So, Kageyama nodded with a sigh.
“Sure, fine, whatever.”
He rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably and Oikawa giggled, his eyes lighting right back up at his agreeance and poked Kageyama's unguarded midsection, making him jump and cover his stomach.
“Aww c'mon cheer up Tobio! We'll have so much fun!”
Kageyama grumbled and got into his car as Oikawa moved over to his own after a cheerful wave to follow him home.
Once there, things were nicer than Kageyama expected honestly. He helped him meal prep, talking animatedly about setting strategies that he too couldn't help but get passionate about, and their favorite college teams. Kageyama was finally relaxing from being jumpy at Oikawa’s surprise attack earlier when he struck while they were relaxing in the living room.
Kageyama had sat on the other end of the couch when Oikawa eagerly bounded forward and straddled his waist. Kageyama grappled with him but quickly found himself overpowered, with his hands pinned under Oikawa's legs as he straddled his waist.
Oikawa laughed gleefully and cooed at him as Kageyama glowered up at him.
“Aww, you didn't really think I'd letcha off the hook, how did ya? What kind of friend would I be if I didn't test your endurance? You know; for old times sake~”
Kageyama's heart beat wildly and he growled, trying to make himself more threatening. It worked on everyone in Karasuno, and even with his current team. Most normal people would've cowered, and apologized- but Oikawa was the one bastard that had never worked on. Not ever since he found out this stupid, downright humiliating weakness of his.
It was kind of hard to be taken seriously when you were laughing your head off, and squealing like a child.
“Now where to start, where to start? Any volunteers?”
Oikawa sounded sadistic as ever, eyes scanning his body for the slightest movement now that they were alone and Kageyama discreetly tried to squirm. No dice. He was stuck. Unfortunately he bucked his hips in the process and Oikawa’s eyes lit up.
“I never took you to be so eager Tobio~ But if you insist!”
Kageyama threw his head back in mirth as Oikawa drilled his thumbs into his hipbones, making him really buck, for all the good it did him.
“Hhehehehey! Cut it ohohout, get off mehehehe!”
“Nah, you must be having fun. Look at that beaming smile you’ve got! So cute~”
Kageyama groaned in annoyance at that, feeling his blush darken.
“Ugh! I am nhahahahat! I swear when you let me up you’re dehehehead!! You hehehear me!? Dead!”
Oikawa’s eyes sparkled with mirth as he jeered down at him, his fingers ruthlessly toying with his hips before one jumped to scribble at his tummy, his shirt having ridden up from his struggling.
“Oho? Still have it in you to threaten me? That’s not very sportsmanlike of you Tobio! Besides, we both know you’d never be able to overpower moi!”
Kageyama wished he had the strength to fight back, to prove him wrong but tickling had always made him helpless, unable to do anything but laugh. He’d tried to get him back later, give him a taste of his own medicine once, back in college.
It hadn’t gone well- Iwaizumi had walked in and all chances had evaporated in front of his eyes. Two on one was hardly fair, but seeing the momentary panic in Oikawa’s eyes and the snort he’d let out had been worth it. At least till he had been wrecked to tears for the attempt.
His struggling finally bore fruit as he bucked particularly aggressively when Oikawa moved suddenly from his hip to the bottom of his ribs, finally allowing one of his hands freedom. He grabbed his wrist, tugging the offending hand up and off of him, panting and glaring. It wasn’t very threatening apparently, as Oikawa merely giggled at him, the fingers spidering along his stomach pausing. He cocked his head at him, brown eyes glittering with amusement.
“Oho? I’m impressed Tobio! You’ve bulked up since our school days!”
The hand at his tummy jumped to his exposed underarm and Kageyama yelped, air leaving him in a rush. Now that’s he’d gotten one of his hands, he had some leverage and strength and knowing he didn’t have much time, he acted. He raised his knee so it was flush against his captor’s side and brought both their hands down against the couch to push off his tricep to turn. Oikawa wasn’t expecting his sudden movements, and tumbled to the ground beside the couch, freeing his other hand in the process. He quickly released Oikawa’s wrist and jolted up, and over him seeking refuge in his bedroom and slammed it behind him, locking it just as a body slammed against it, causing it to jump back in surprise.
He panted, swallowing harshly, hands trembling as he tried to think rationally. Oikawa wouldn’t break his door down. That was too direct for a scheming bastard like him. His eyes scanned the room for his phone and he felt his blood turn to ice as he realized it wasn’t here. Shit. The banging stopped, and Oikawa’s too sweet voice came through.
“Aw c’mon Tobio, we were just playing~ I guess you’re a tad more sensitive than I remember. Sorry if I pushed you too much; if you come out, I promise I’ll play nice~”
Kageyama snorted, glaring at the door. He felt bolder, now that he was safe from his old “friend”.
“I’m not the same naive college kid you tormented, just leave, alright? I’m not gonna fall for your sweet words anymore!”
There was stony silence and Kageyama immediately regretted his speaking out, but it was too late to take it back now.
So instead, he listened, backing up to sit on his bed and try to process. He couldn’t believe he’d been so stupid. Why did he bring him here? Now he knew his address. Maybe…Maybe he really hadn’t changed that much after all. If he was honest with himself, he’d always known some part of him missed Oikawa. For all his faults, his lack of listening sometimes…those good moments were still good. Maybe he was over-reacting-
He shook his head, holding his head in his hands. He was doing it again. Falling back on old habits to cope with Oikawa being in his life.
“Tobio, I’m going to head out now! I put your meals in the fridge. And…I’m sorry. Really.”
Kageyama looked at the door with wide eyes. Oikawa actually sounded…remorseful. He sounded serious. Still, he didn’t move until he heard his door slam, and even then he held his breath and put his ear to his door, listening for any sign of footsteps, just in case. He twisted the knob and then headed back to the living room, letting out a breath as he realized he was truly gone.
Everything was cleaned up, his living room just as it was, as if he was never there to begin with.
He jumped in place at a sound, and his eyes flew to his phone, making him sigh. Just a text message. Stupid body. Why was he still so on edge?
He grabbed his phone and swiped it open.
His eyes widened and his grip tightened, his other hand moving to cover his mouth.
An unknown number.
The message?
‘Let’s meet up again sometime Tobio~’

Hi! \(*^ω^*) I LOVE bound by fate sooo much and I have so many questions, but I'll only ask 2 because I don't want to be rude! (^^;) ♡
Okay, firstly, In the bbf universe, what other mystical creatures exist? We know imp's and dragons exist for sure lol, but what about other well-known mythical beings like phoenices, unicorns, genies, or merfolk? Assuming their humanoid though, are there other mystical creatures that aren't humanoid and are like dragons that don't have humanistic attributes?
never rude to ask questions, i enjoy answering them when i get the time :)
yes, so each God has created their own mystical creature and bestowed it upon Fertilea, Eurydrium being the goddess to bestow dragons, wyverns, and creatures of that nature upon Fangfell, Flidais the Goddess residing over Geodopolis also has her own mystical creatures, like griffins, and jackolopes.
I should really properly flesh out a map of Fertliea at some point, so you guys can know the countries better, but to answer the question, yes. there are merfolk, phoenixes, unicorns, griffins, orcs, goblins, and all sorts of other mystical creatures in the bbf universe
