The crew mess is noisy this morning. Itâs almost always loud. If she closed her eyes, Shadowheart could reach backward into her hazy memories of the barracks beneath the House of Grief in Baldurâs Gate, listening to the Sharrans eating and squabbling and shouting to each other. There wasnât much difference when it came down to it. Whether crew or cult, any group of rough people in a small space tended to behave the same.
Shadowheart had joined this crew not long before the captain, AncunĂn his name was, had returned from a peculiar absence. According to the first mate, AncunĂn had been gone for three years. How he maintained control over this motley bunch during that time was a mystery to her. Sheâd seen very little of the handsome elvish Captain since he returned with a pretty little slip of a girl with dark hair and wide eyes hanging off his hip like a babe on apron strings.
Or was it the other way around? This little lighthouse keeper, this Doe, seemed to hypnotize anyone who spoke to her for more than a minute. Anyone, except for Laeâzel, that was. No surprise there. The gith among the crew kept to themselves, letting their general resting bitch face do the talking for them. Laeâzel, however, seemed to lack Vossâ good sense and let her mouth get carried away with her. Sheâd end up in the drink if she wasnât careful. Not that it mattered to Shadowheart. The idea of seeing that frog-like woman soaking wet and spluttering as she receded into the distance behind the ship brought a smile to Shadowheartâs face.
Still, Shadowheart had to agree with Laeâzelâs misgivings about the captainâs pet. Sheâd watched Doe on her first day, working away like it was a competition, singing the whole time. Then, somehow, Laeâzel ended up being told to take a powder while the songbird got her own room. It seemed Laeâzelâs assessment that their captain used the little brain more than the big one when it came to Doe was pretty accurate.
Speaking of the devil, there she was â the captainâs little songbird come skulking into the mess, late to breakfast again. From the second night of caterwauling in a row, the captain and, if her sharp ears didnât deceive her, the navigator as well, had been keeping her up late the night before. Although seeing her half-hearted wave at Dekarios as she entered the mess, Doe looked about as glum as a person could look. Perhaps they werenât as incredible lovers as all the racket suggested.
Shadowheart watches Doe collect her bowl of fish stew and coarse bread from the galley and shuffle over to an unoccupied corner, a little black rain cloud hovering over her head the entire time. Seeing Doe push her stew around in her bowl, Shadowheart almost felt bad for her. Almost. It couldnât be easy, knowing half the crew thought of her as nothing more than the captainâs new toy while the other half resented her for it. What Doe needed was a friend who didnât want to fuck her. Well, not yet, anyway. And being friends with someone all the senior officers seemed so smitten with might be useful.
Grabbing her own half-eaten bowl of stew, Shadowheart threads her way through the rows of long tables and plops herself down across from a very droopy-looking Doe.
âI know why Iâm such a sad fucker all the time,â Shadowheart began. She spooned a non-descript lump of her rapidly cooling stew into her mouth. âBut you, little songbird, donât seem to have much of a reason to be so dour if last nightâs noise level was any indication.â Â She grins around her mouthful of stew, trying to communicate âplayfulâ and âfriendly,â though Shadowheart canât honestly say either of those have ever been accurate descriptions of her. She sighs when Doeâs expression is unchanged. âIâm sorry, Iâm not very good at this âmaking friendsâ thing, alright? But you looked like you could use one just now, and Iâm not busy.â She sighs and holds her hand out across the table to Doe. âIâm Shadowheart. Lookout and former religious nut job.â
~ Shadowheart
Doe's eyes widen. She takes the proferred hand, shakes it firmly, and then smiles for the first time this morning.
'You want to be my friend?' Her tone suggests that this is absurd, but she lives in hope. 'I... I'd like that. Nice to meet you, Shadowheart. It's a fitting name for someone aboard the Sanguine Shadow. I'm Doe.' She eats quietly for a moment, then looks up at the pretty half-elf. 'You too, huh?' she says, gesturing to her ears. 'Mine was my mother. I'm told I look like her, though nobody's really seen me in the past 13 years.' She shrugs. 'Always a beacon for others, never found in my own right. 'Til now, I suppose.' She gives Shadowheart a warm smile. 'You have such pretty green eyes. Like seaglass.'
The silence grows oddly comfortable for these two strangers, as they finish their breakfast. 'If you want to chat later, I can meet you after work is over? We can drink, or something. Might be fun. And I suppose I should apologise. For the noise. Though, I won't have it said it was my idea. You can blame the captain and the navigator for that one.' She winks, the first genuinely carefree thing she's done since walking on deck.
'See you around, Shadowheart. Keep those eyes sharp.'
With that, she leaves the mess hall, ready for a day acquiring callouses.

My two cents on the TWEWY anime
Like I said in my last post, the TWEWY Animation is something better to have happened than not, and there are couples of good things about it too. In terms of production quality, I would consider it a low-budget anime. It serves the purpose of laying out the story in anime narrative, some characters get more screentime and get fleshed out a lot more (Eri, 777). Def March and Sota & Nao got revived, some scenes were nice⌠etc. The good things tho, cannot make up for some bigger issues of the anime, namely:
1. Â Â Â Anime Josh is inaccurately designed and portrayed
As fans, you can draw and interpret a character however way you wish but as professionals who work on official materials, itâs hugely disappointing how they get none of Joshâs trademark features or expressions right. I have no business offending anyone who enjoys the anime, nothing wrong with that. Iâm just commenting from the standpoint of an artist who has worked on professional levels, and as a Josh fanartist who has spent many, many hours studying his features and drawing Josh with a sense of faithfulness to the core of his character. Also as a Josh fan, this problem hit me pretty hard.Â
(On the left: Joshua Kiryu. On the right: generic base model with a cheap wig)
Sure, the anime is low-budget and heavily based on 3D model perhaps, but I HAVE PROOFS IT CAN BE BETTER. I see no problem in simplifying details to make it easier to animate, the anime palette and art style is decent enough. HOWEVER, itâs the DESIGN. Itâs the sloppily put together design that can ruin a character. Now itâs not a matter of different art styles, since I have tried fixing several scenes in the anime to make Josh look more like⌠Josh, with almost the same level of detail. Yea, it still looks a lot like my own art style but I studied the original design very carefully to fuse it with the anime model and palette.
(All original frames will be on the left and my fixed frames on the right)
Let me break it to you: Josh has a simplistic design but a very complex personality that is subtly hinted beneath his facial features and expressions. Nomura has the habit to draw characters quite similarly (with slightly droopy eyes) from the 2/3 or ž angle, but he does design them all to look different if you look closely enough.
Original Nomura sketch
Firstly the facial features. Nomura always draws Josh with sharp features: sharp eyes, brows, lashes, nose, mouth, everything. Joshâs front angle for example, clearly shows that he has really sharp eyes and distinctly smaller irises than say, Neku or Shiki.Â
Iris size and eyes shape comparison
His eyes are supposed to show a mix of mischief and wit, and outright so â not hidden at all. Anime Joshâs eyes always look like heâs either blank, faking innocence or is sleepy.
Anime Josh and the âfaking innocenceâ or âsmiley eyesâ expressions that were never seen in the original.
We all know about Joshâs infamous hairstyle, but ya know whenever I draw Josh, I draw the face without any hair first to make sure the eyes and brows carry his vibe. The anime screwed that up by giving him the same iris size as the other kids, his brows always look flat or downward and not straight up like in the original game design. Also my friends pointed out that his brows are not drawn in black lines like his original ones (Neku and Shiki are both given black brows) making every expression a tad duller.
Now comes the infamous hair, the shape and placement and size of the bang is everything. Itâs tricky cuz Joshâs bang would look like a 3:7 ratio from the side or 5:5 from the front angle. Most of the time, anime Joshâs bang obscures too much of his forehead due to bigger bang size and wrong placement.
Compare: smaller forehead space can really change a face
If the character designer doesnât get the face and the hair right, they get nothing about Josh. Why? Because itâs closely related to his characterization.
In terms of characterization, it felt pretty off most of the time. Game Josh is much snarkier and sassier, nonetheless more righteous (his name literally means Justice plus his role as a spiritual ruler). Meanwhile anime Josh is just pretentious. Game Josh never cares to hide his mischief, just getting his way around the truth. He never even talks much about himself and only explains the most vital key points, therefore he was able to create a maze of doubt and confusion surrounding his existence, making his character so compelling to in-game characters and likewise fans. Anime Josh lacks the charm due to downplaying all of that, as Composer he even had to explain everything himself at the end â kinda lame, to be honest.
Josh was pretty amused when Neky found out about CATâs identity and the anime saw no importance in that (up: original frame, down: edited frame).Â
More importantly, anime Joshâs expression sheet is composed of mostly non-existent emotions for Josh and seems to be designed by someone who has never played TWEWY and only guessed what heâs like based on characters of similar tropes. A good designer should never read characters based on tropes. The thing is, the original anime concept design looks like itâs done by someone who has a much better grasp of Josh visually.Â
What the hell happened between the two? Â
Granted that anime Josh is based on Kobayashi Genâs design instead of Nomuraâs, and Gen himself does seem to struggle a lot with drawing Josh because his drawings rarely come out right. Gen did try at some points and did a decent job, features or vibe â he would at least try to get one of those right on important occasions. However, the anime character designer just did a tropy, generalized design as the model and Josh in the ENTIRE anime was based on that. Why? They could have always made it better and truer. They simply never did.
This Genâs Josh is alright.
This Genâs Josh is an utter tragedy.
This sketch shows Joshâs face in Genâs memories, a bubble of undefined smugness. No wonder it wasnât Nomura who drew âYoshiyaâ in A New Day. The job was definitely assigned to someone who never gets Josh right from the first place.
Look at the ending and promo art for TWEWY done by Ilya Kuvshinov. Theyâre a commission artist and their work shows clear research and effort in portraying every character correctly, even when fused with their personal style. Thatâs an artist taking their job seriously, the anime character designer sure isnât.
The same thing happened to Sho. Sho was also given a good concept design at the beginning and suffers from the same design generalization later. He never even got to chant Pi so really, what was even the deal? Are these interesting characters too much to be portrayed correctly? Are they above what the anime makers find comprehensible? Whatever the case, I donât think itâs worth it.
2. Â Â Â The ultimately worst scene in The Animation is probably the final gun showdown between Neku and Joshua
Neku dropping his gun and smiling while saying âI trust youâ is super cringy and out of character and illogical, as it somehow throws away all of his anger and frustration at that moment which makes the burden of his decision so obvious and relatable in the original. This is such a huge shame, cuz Nekuâs been nicely portrayed for most of the anime series. The whole point of that scene was not Neku calming down to rely it all on âtrustâ, but about whether he could choose to NOT shoot Josh even at the highest point of his pain and emotions, despite all the s.hit thatâs happening to face Josh with everything on the line, thus resulting in his final victory.Â
He just did not wanna shoot Josh, but also did NOT drop his gun in the original scene because Iâm sure if Josh redirects the gun to Shiki or Beat instead, the outcome would have been different. Neku is not the naĂŻve and trusting person the anime decided for him to be, he grew up to trust and listen, but heâll always have a good sense of critical thinking.
So to conclude this essay, here are the original frames and my fixed frames put together side by side - with help from a friend @areimlâ who shares my opinion for row 4 and 6.

BAKUGO KATSUKI - KACHAN
MELANCHOLIA â
Sheâs always biting her tongue, the inside of her cheek, her lip. So much so, he doesnât even know what her lip normally looks like without it being bloated and swollen and red from having her teeth sink into to it. Heâs okay with her chosen silence as long as she answers when sheâs spoken to, which she does, lacking the will to refuse, knowing it will only cost her valuable energy, energy she needs in case Bakugo decides he wants to rip the breath from her lungs while he hunches over her, his hips snapping into her again and again, ramming at a pace so rough she both dreads it and welcomes it, for on the one hand itâs exhausting and she always wakes up with aches in the morning, yet on the other hand he makes her appreciate breathing which is always a nice reminder when she often times wonders what tranquility would be found in not breathing whatsoever.
He doesnât want to confront her about it, sensing how she might not enjoy confrontation all that much, and not really wanting the whole ordeal to result in making her cry at the mere sound of his voice. He wonât alter the volume or the roughness of his tone, no matter how many times she cringes at how loud heâs being, but he does try being gentle, at least with his criticism. He showers her in compliments, which is a huge contrast to how he would usually handle fixing things. But, he finds using softer methods benefit him as well, loving the blush that adorns her face each time he does so, his own confidence probably boosting more so than hers.
He does nice things, not really knowing what or which way to help. He doesnât make her do any chores, ignoring the nagging feeling that keeping her busy would probably help more so than having her sit and look cute all day, but⌠heâs afraid of admitting it, but⌠he quite likes taking care of her. He quite likes hugging her throughout the night, feeling her small tremoring sobs against him while stroking her back. He likes comforting her on those same nights where she wakes abruptly from some nightmare, stroking glossy diamond tears away from her cheeks, loving her bloated lips and that cute red wet irritation flushed on her nose and cheeks.
The only times he gets upset with her is when she refuses to eat. He tries so hard to make things she might like, but itâs scarce he sees her taking more than a few bites, if she makes a move to eat at all. He doesnât want to make her cry, despite it being a constant hobby of hers, he doesnât want to be the reason to her crying, but⌠he canât have her starving. He finds the fear-tactic surprisingly effective on someone who spends most their time fantasizing about death. A few sparks in his palms has her all but quaking, scared half-way into catatonia or even comatose, so much so he has to pull her into his lap and spoon-feed her. Not that he minds that either, he comes to enjoy it quite a lot actually. How her small frame melts so perfectly against his chest, legs swung over his lap, head on his shoulder, remnants of her fear-stricken cries still evident as small spontaneous jolts run through her, being slowly comforted away with the same hand that caused the trouble in the first place.
DABI - TODORKI TOUYA
ANXIETY â
He couldnât be happier with his little ball of blue wrapped up in soft-tinted crushed dreams with a heart made of honeycombs and dandelion-fluff. Whereas his misfortunate lack of happiness stems from a place of violence, where violence breeds violence, sheâs nothing but a tender trauma. Such a soft despair, such a sweet despair, such perfection found in something so devastating. Itâs artwork really. How she can cry herself to sleep, trapped in his arms, feeling as though sheâs dying, yet wake up the next morning all velvety and soft in his arms, her heart finding comfort in what her mind rejects, what her mind fears.
He tries being a source of comfort for the most part, but teasing and haunting and poking fun at her is such a delicious past-time he cannot simply just refrain from. Heâll be a real villain about it at times. Having her as a complete blubbering pathetic hiccupping mess, poking fun at her crybaby-face as he licks the tears from her cheeks and gorges himself in her panic, his fingers dancing small patterns on her stomach as she wiggles beneath him.
She used to be so scared of him. So skittish and paralyzed, cold-sweating and eyes constantly leaking he had to imagine what her eyes would look like without being rimmed with red. She used to shiver and shake and quake and reel in on  herself, curl up until her limbs ached from how small she was trying to make herself become, backed up into the corner beneath his shadow, his leather-boots looking like the onset of everything horrific as she coward in front of them. But wild untrusting childlike beings such as her is quick in nature to tether themselves to the first or only source of light. And though the transition was slow, her anxiety soon shifted from being directed at him and soon for him instead.
It was too easy, and it benefitted him so undeservingly as well it was cruel. How he simply took all those fears of hers, all those fears for everything residing in the new foreign room sheâd been taken captive in, manipulating them into becoming paranoia for everything found outside the bedroom door instead. He went from being the source of her dread, of her panic, of her misery, of her pitter-patter heart and shattering teeth to her savior. Soothing her in her frenzied quakes as she spluttered on sobs containing what hellish monsters and dangers found outside, begging him to be careful, to come back to her, to stay.
She will hug him close throughout the night, hanging almost like a noose around his neck when he needs to leave in the mornings, tracing his scars with a stream of endless worried thoughts blubbering in her groggy voice. And heâll humor her worry and tame the oncoming panic-attacks by giving her a little light-show of blue flames in his palm, words of his own coming to assure her how nothing will ever happen to him and how he will never let anything ever happen to her, assuring however many times he has the time for.
Sheâs too cute itâs unfair. Unfair that small creatures like her exist without anything to protect them from hungry wolves like him. And though he was never the type to fantasize about clingy things, he has to admit⌠coming home to someone who lunches at him in the most secure yet clumsy and desperate embrace, he feels as though that feeling of coming home is all heâll ever need in the world, that sheâs all heâll ever need.
SHIGARAKI TOMURA
INSOMNIA â
Itâs nice. He knows it shouldnât be the word he describes it with, but⌠thatâs what it is. Itâs nice. Itâs nice to stay up with someone who expels the same type of energy as him, and not to mention the same amount of energy as him, or⌠lack of thereof. Itâs nice living off of fumes together. Itâs nice slipping to and from consciousness and how it almost turns into a game of who can survive the longest before collapsing, with the other shortly following, too tired to even bask in their victory.
Itâs nice irritating over the same sharp sounds that attack their sensitive ears, not at all like the familiar sound of soft clicks of the controller in their hands. Itâs nice communicating almost purely through mellow moans and groans and croaks, always understanding what the other is emitting despite it being but shapeless sounds.
Itâs nice finding agreement in how the lights should always stay off, how itâs turned into some religious rule never meant to be crossed. Itâs nice annoying over the same crisp bright light of the sun that violate their eyes those times they forget to shut the blinds before passing out after having counted stars and eating in the dead silence of night like nocturnal beings ignoring the light of day as though it were the plague. Itâs nice how they can both find comfort in the glow of the moonlight or computer screen, leaching off of the energy like flies.
Heâs found kinship in her presence, and despite it merely being himself and her in the darkness of his room, with flying specs of dust decorating the air and their computers the only windows to the world beyond their four walls, he feels as though the whole universe is looking at him when the softness of her glinting, beaming, sparkling eyes set their gaze and lock with his. Itâs strange, but he always found angel-bright smiles and supersonic eyes to be too intrusive and annoying and scary to stand before, whereas her sunken dark eyes, ringed with shades of lilac contrasting her otherwise pale porcelain skin, kept almost albino in the darkness of his room⌠she couldnât be more perfect.
Come to think of it, itâs perfection. Her in all her sleep-deprived glory, all her drowsy silliness, her sloppy harsh movements, tripping and stumbling with her droopy-eyes, in her soft giggling fits, where sheâll catch her stupidity just a moment too late and roll around on the bed, trying to shrug off Tomuraâs teasing judgement as he pokes fun at her idiocy. Giving up on forming complete sentences as she almost always ends up toppling over her own words, settling for whining or sighing as she turns her head to bury it in his chest.
Utter perfection. Never bothering to get dressed, walking about like a little tease in only underwear and Tomuraâs ill-fitted hoodie, hair pulled up into a messy-bun too messy, always defeating the purpose of keeping her hair from out of her face. Her unstable movements, disconnected to the ground as though sheâs floating. Too grabbable and easily defeated in her weariness when being pulled into his lap, simply humming and moaning in response as he plants soft kisses down her neck, his fingers coming to destroy whateverâs in the way of him and her body.
HITOSHI SHINSO
HYPERSOMNIA â
She sleeps so soundly, like a little couch-kitten. All soft and cute, playing in her dreams. Sheâll sleep whole entire days, only opening her eyes in small flutters every now and again and moaning ever so softly once he wakes her, though quickly scrunching her nose and twisting to fall asleep again. Her drowsiness rendering her pride invalid, causing her to pull at him to better comfort herself against his body, whining when he shifts, his warm presence leaving the bed when he needs to go to work. Her little unconscious protest making his heart twist in his chest, tempted to stay in bed with her all day long, yet comforting himself with the fact that heâll probably come home to find her in the exact same position.
Sheâs so cute. Sheâll curl and stretch, resting anywhere she finds comfortable: in bed, in the sofa, in the armchair, on his chest, his shoulder, his lap. Adorable with her little snores, all knotted up, remnants of her dreams spilling out from her sleep and coming to life in her limbs as she kicks and shakes her head, delving further into the pillow and twisting intricately in about the blanket. Eyelashes fluttering, eyes skittering beneath her puffy eyelids, caught up in whatever hurricane her mind has conjured up.
She seemed unfazed once she woke up in his room for the first time, and even then, she only gave him enough time to explain himself before nodding with heavy eyelids, laying her drowsy head back on the pillow. The situation dawning on her gradually over the first month, and if whether she was startled or angry, he couldnât tell. If anything, sept for sleepy, heâd say she seemed confused, but alongside the confusion was the look that told him she couldnât find the energy in herself to think too much about it without her fuzzy head hurting. Settling for eating breakfast with him in the mornings, and even thanking him on those occasion where she would forget the circumstances that led her to live there.
She doesnât struggle when he pulls her limp body close to his own in the dead of night after heâs done for the day. Heâs only mildly concerned, but itâs not his affection that shakes her from her sleep. Heâs a selfish person, and heâs not one to hide those ugly aspects of himself. Heâs selfish, greedy, controlling. He has to use his quirk on her sometimes⌠often times. Though sheâs cute when sheâs sleeping, he wants to do more than just watch her. He wants words, conversation, he wants to know whatâs going on in that dark dreary head of hers, he wants to know what eerie things sheâs been dreaming about, where she escapes to when her eyes slide close.
What more: he wants those eyes on him, those puffy, sleepy beautiful doe-eyes. He wants her to pay attention as he touches her skin and not simply to moan in response to it, he wants her to hang onto every single moment his skin touches hers. Telling her to focus reaches a long way. Those otherwise sleepy doe-eyes widening in such moon-bright curiosity, slaving at the hands of his quirk. Her otherwise limp and soft body shaking under his overwhelming touch, goosebumps springing to the surface under his tongue, a wicked glint evident in his lilac eyes.
TAKAMI KEIGO - HAWKS
BIPOLAR â
Sheâs fragile on most days. Whether that fragility is in the shape of a daisy or a bomb is impossible to say until she either falls apart or blows up. Itâs all rather uncertain, sporadic, spontaneous, where heâs given only a few signs where which he can predict what state of mind sheâs in and how stable that structure is.
Most things depend on sleep, and upholding a balanced sleep-pattern has become one of the most important things in Keigoâs life after having taken his little darling. But, she manages to slip past his schedules more times than he would like to admit. When she refuses to go to sleep, his mind drifts to all the fun things they can do if they werenât sleeping, and when sheâs sound asleep and drowsing far beyond what time she should have woken up, he canât find it in himself to wake her, not when he is the reason as to why she was so spent and sore and exhausted from the events and methods he used to make her fall asleep in the first place.
On little sleep one of two things can happen. She can either have the energy of a hummingbird or be tired to the point she almost looks sickly. On her lack-of-sleep-high sheâs confident, cocky more so than Keigo, where sheâll test her luck on how far Keigoâs willing to bend his rules when she misbehaves, calling him all types of names, laughing in his face when he snaps and cackling even harder even madder when he decides to punish her, as though itâs all a game to quench her boredom.
With the absence of sleep causing her exhaustion she becomes irritated, seething with boiling rage, red in annoyance, whatever energy she has left focused on making her discomfort known as she scowls at him each time he smiles too loudly, but being too drained to physically act on her frustration or to even make up a snide comment without evoking a headache, left to simply snarl. He thinks itâs cute, where he knows well enough that if he pushes her limits too far she might just break. Break, and therefore let him gather her up into his arms and hush and tut at her to stop crying while he strokes her back, feeling her tremble with unparalleled frustration weighing down on her shoulders.
Then there are the days she sleeps too much. The same options are present here too. Sheâs either too energetic or too well rested. Either black or white. No grey. But with too much sleep she isnât ever hostile, but still wild. Wild and enthusiastic and self-destructive and prop-full of ideas and insane in her passion. Sheâll be unable to focus on anything, sheâll forget things seconds after theyâve been said or done, but⌠sheâll laugh and sheâll smile, and it wonât be one of those haughty nasty smiles she gives him when sheâs feeling spiteful, but genuine in its playfulness or even bliss.
Then on other days sleeping half the day only results in her being even more drowsed out, yet accompanying her exhaustion isnât irritation, but soft-tinted melancholia, where all she does is stay wrapped up in her blanket, quiet and still, silent tears dripping down her cheeks as she focusses on how hollow her chest is, as though caving in on itself, where sheâll fall all limp and snuggly in Keigoâs embrace, humming appreciatively as he wraps her up in his wings. All the while a treacherous smile of satisfaction on his face.
MIDORIYA IZUKU - DEKU
DESPOND â
When Izuku chose his darling it was done without compromise, without fault, it was done with perfection. Meaning, he fell for all of her, invested in all of her, determined to preserve all of her. Even her inexplainable unfounded absurd plethora of self-doubt that make her delirious and hopeless with anxiety and guilt. He let himself fall hungrily in love with her little terror-wide heart. He fell viciously in love with how desperate in need of him to come help ground her she was.
It was as though sheâs made for him, he would argue. It was as though heâs made for her. Some breeds of people are just too vulnerable to take proper care of themselves. Some people just arenât meant to take care of themselves. Whereas others are made to help, other people need to help.
Emotions are abstract fundamental tools meant to be used. Lesser minds might look down on his methods, yet Izuku came to understand quite early in life that things such as morals are chains meant to keep you from achieving your goal. He has no quarrels with using and abusing those tools presented to him, where her irrational feelings of doubt, hopelessness and worthlessness are a delicious opportunity to achieve his goal. Besides, her emotions are too easily abused and give such great unshakable responses, and even though he doesnât want to tamper too much with her instability⌠theyâre just too in-reach for him to ignore, too tempting for him to stay away.
The feeling of responsibility sits like an extra organ inside him, where his toes curl each time he sees her large doe-eyes look at him as though he were the sun, as though her whole life revolves around him. Sheâs just so dependent on him, so in need of his guidance and advise and praise, where heâs afraid she might just drown in her own guilt if she senses sheâs displeased him. She makes sure she wears what he likes, has her hair the way he likes, letting him play with her like putty in his hands if he asks it of her. How can he be expected to not exploit what is so clearly offered?
Besides, he spoils her as well. He returns the favor so to speak, even though he knows she has given herself no choice but to worship him in her mindset of inadequacy. Sheâs so sweet he nearly feels undeserving, because sheâll blush so preciously when he compliments her, bashful and adorable and too good to be true, he wonders how such a creature can ever feel like less. He adores her, yet that doesnât stop him from finding such satisfying bliss in the fact that heâs infinitely stronger and faster and not to mention smarter. Whereas sheâs gullible and too eager to please, another attributing factor as to why he loves her, despite it is also being the cause of her demise, or maybe even because of it
The truth is sheâs lucky that she belongs to him. Lucky that he wonât ever let anything happen to her, no matter if sheâs the source of her own harm. Sheâs lucky to have him to anchor herself to as so to avoid floating away in her hopelessness. This is safer for her. Despite him sticking his bloodstained inky fingers and twisting her heart in his deadlock of a fist, sheâs safe, safer than she could or would ever be on her own.
CHISAKI KAI - OVERHAUL
AMNESIA â
Itâs cute. He wonât deny that itâs cute, because it is. Itâs adorable and unbelievable and annoying all the same. Sheâll forget the rules, sheâll wander too far from her confines, not greeting him at the door, not kissing him on que, leave questions unanswered despite him having told her to always answer him when sheâs spoken to, all things he feels heâs made blatantly clear through threats and countless reminders. But, not only will she forget his rules, but basic living necessities, sheâll forget to eat and drink, forget to get dressed, forget where she is.
Sheâll say the strangest things sometimes. Mild and mellow passionate thoughts regarding the clouds and stars and moon and gods and how pretty his snake-eyes are, like great big lakes of molten gold. Itâs strange but he finds such great comfort in her little philosophical blubbering, her soft voice kissing his ears like gospel. Itâs a tender type of relief or resolution found in listening to nonsense as opposed to the serious matters he has to deal with in his position in the underworld, her view of the world somehow painting everything, even the ugly and the dangerous, in beauty.
Sometimes sheâll drift a bit too far away though. Sheâll daydream more than sleep, absentminded when heâs speaking to her, unable to focus on him or anything for more than a few minutes at best. All dizzy and fuzzy, as though sheâs just woken from some dream or as if sheâs always dreaming. Irritation festers in his chest when she doesnât answer, but as she turns her head, expression all soft and oblivious, his chest caving in at the sight of those doe-eyes, all anger simmering into nothing, rendering his annoyance nonexistent, replaced by a sense of hopeless forgiveness and somehow appreciation.
When it comes to her for once actually remembering what sheâs supposed to do sheâll weigh each task as though one wrong decision would cost her life. Greeting him at the door in nothing but underwear, already having failed at picking out an outfit and resorting to wearing the lingerie Kai picked and laid out for her on the bed in the morning. The simple task suddenly becoming a battle where sheâll spend much too much time deciding whether to take his jacket first or give him a kiss or welcome him home. Too many decisions with too faulty statistics and unsure outcomes she ends up merely standing there doing nothing but hold her head in her hands and whimper slightly at all the noise that suddenly crowded her head, tears already threatening to fall as she stands before him, all guilt-ridden and trembling.
He can be patient as long as he knows she isnât disobeying him on purpose, especially when he sees how guilty and how terribly sorry she is each time she fails on acting out simple tasks such as those he gives her. Sheâll cry and apologize for the mere act of breathing on some days where sheâs extra fragile, where she seeks nothing but his praise, his comfort, his hand stroking through her hair as she sleeps restlessly in her sobs on his chest, unaware of the mild smile of satisfaction and endearment displayed on his face.
TODOROKI SHOTO
SELF-CONSCIOUS -
Sheâs always hiding. Like a little mouse, sheâs always squeaking and squealing and hiding. Hiding her face, burying it in the pillow when he compliments her gorgeous eyes, begging him to stop, small timid hands pushing ever so slightly at him. Hiding her chest, her nipples, when he admires them, his hands playing with the soft and supple flesh, whimpering as she tries to twist away. Her knees trying their best to wrench shut, to hide and protect what sensitivity find between them from Shotoâs hungry fingers and tongue.
Sheâs always hiding⌠but he likes to hunt anyway. If she drapes herself in pitch-black hoodies heâll gladly rip them off, or scorch them off and expose her delicious artful body. If she refuses to leave the bed heâll gladly attack her where sheâs sleeping. Sheâs always hiding, but she quickly comes to understand that there will be no hiding from him.
He doesnât understand why she would ever want to hide divinity, and therefor doesnât respect the wish. Having made it his mission to expose every little piece of her, licking up long lines of bumpy purple and white scars, sucking and biting at those pointy cherry nipples strutting at the coolness of his breath, kissing those plump lips of hers despite her cringing to cover herself up in thousand layers of clothes, dark clothes, where only the very least of her skin is remaining on display. He wonât have it.
He has to tie her up on most occasions where sheâs too difficult and shy to listen and let him play with her beauty. Heâll have to tie her up like a starfish on the bed, limbs spread in each direction, scars running along them, quite like the ones he receives in battle, only precise and matching and purposeful, his hands coming to touch them in reverence, worshipping every little altercation sheâs added to her skin, further pushing its ever-changing perfection, watching as she hopelessly struggles to hide herself, yet the both of them knowing how sheâs fully his.
He canât allow her hurting herself anymore though, not with the fear that she one day might slip up and kill herself just a little bit too much, but heâs happy to help her through the tools of fire and ice. Frostbite flowers look even more as though they belong on her body, as well as blotches of burns, his markings, his teeth. Heâll never forget the moan he received on his first indulgence branding her body with his elements, how she purred in gratitude, small blissful squeals and mewls following, further egging him on.
Once she grew more comfortable with his hands and his stare⌠or rather⌠once the need for his hands outgrew her discomfort, she became somewhat addicted. And now, she can be wild in her cravings on some days, demanding it of him, threatening him, fighting him. Sheâll bite and claw, begging for him to retaliate, longing for him to push her into the bedsheets and teach her what itâs like to feel alive by teasing her with the promise of death.
Without him sheâs left to pick at scabs, counting the seconds until his return. Sheâll pull at her hair until her scalp is screaming. Sheâll ball her fists, creating those blood-red crescent moons in her palms, biting her nails until they bleed and then some. Then bask in relief upon his return.

something sweet
maybe having someone to help you out in the stockroom wasn't so bad after all.
PAIRING: itadori yuuji x reader
GENRE: fluff, strangers to lovers
WORD COUNT: 2.5k
WARNINGS: almost stabbed, mentions of sharp things (boxcutters and broken glass), making out
itâs not like you had a problem with the same menial tasks everyday.
in fact, you would even say that it was a fun way to spend your free period. it was better than doing some complicated assignment or even having to talk to people with your lack of sleep and patience. coffee never allowed for a proper nap no matter how exhausted you were and your teacher wouldnât allow that anyways.
it was an easy job that you could do with minimal help. all you had to do was put the beakers away, clean up the floor once in awhile, maybe pop some bubble wrap when new packages arrived. being alone in the stockroom was nice because you were able to turn on some music on your headphones, do whatever dances you felt like doing as long as you were still doing your job. no help was needed or wanted.
âwhere should i put this?â
you jump, nearly stabbing the blonde haired boy behind you with a boxcutter. luckily, he was quick, jumping backwards with a yelp as you took a deep breath in to process the situation. you didnât accidentally hurt the boy in front of you, did you? your face falls and the initial rush of fear turns into guilt. âiâm sorry! i didnât know you were there!â
âitâs okay,â he responds with a smile, unphased by the fact his shirt had almost been slashed, âi understand. youâre probably here alone most of the time, right?â
âyeah, i wasnât expecting for anyone else to be here,â you sigh before realizing what he had probably walked in on before the whole ordeal, âwait.. did you see me doing anything?â
âyouâre a pretty good dancer if thatâs what youâre asking.â
embarrassment. your cheeks feel unbelievably hot and your stomach turns while embarrassment settles in your body. this period was your alone time, your chance to flail about and having someone else witness it? definitely not preferable. although, he does seem nice and he hasnât made fun of you. not yet, at least.
his voice brings you out of your train of thought. âso, where should i put that thing?â
he carries on as if nothing happened. thank god. âthe flask goes in that cabinet, bottom shelf. youâll see more just like it.â you reply, pointing to the space.
he mumbles a quick thank you before doing unloading more of the new flasks onto the cabinet. you work on your own, choosing to count the new magnets on the other side of the room, doing your best to avoid him considering you just embarrassed yourself in front of the stranger by nearly injuring him for asking a simple question. though, he looks slightly familiar, heâll probably be gone tomorrow and thatâs all that matters.
behind you, yuji takes small glances while he puts away the flasks, waiting for you to turn around and ask for his name. hell, heâs waiting for any type of question. after all, who sees a random boy in their work space and doesnât question it at all?
when the next day comes, youâre proven wrong because he sits in the chair, awaiting another order from you. you curse under your breath before putting on a faux smile. âdo you need help with anything?â
âdo you need help with anything?â
âno, thanks. iâm good on my own. you can go back to whatever you do in this period.â
he scratches his head, eyebrows furrowing together. âi thought you needed help. thatâs what my math teacher told me when he sent me here.â
ânot really? i can usually get a lot done on my own. who told you i needed help?â
âgojo. iâm his teacher assistant, but i donât know how to do the math heâs teaching, so i canât really help anyone.â he explains
âoh, yeah! i had him for calculus last semester,â your eyes light up at the mention of your favorite white haired mentor, âweird guy. good teacher.â
wait. gojoâs teacher assistant?
youâve heard your friends talk about him, given that they were in that exact class the blonde haired boy was supposed to be in right now. the one guy that pe teachers fawn over and coaches try to recruit? why did they put him in the math department instead of pe? whatâs his name again? yuki? yugi?
âyouâre yuji itadori?â
âyuji itadori.â he confirms and youâre relieved. good thing you didnât mess up his name.
no wonder he looked familiar. miwa was fascinated by his physical ability, you distinctly remember her pointing him out during lunch and telling you about how he was âscarily fastâ and could probably âlift ten of her at a time.â although, it was from far away and he was partially blocked by a girl with short brown hair and megumi, the intimidating spikey haired quiet boy in some of your classes.
but yuji didnât look like someone who could lift ten miwas up close. maybe he was hiding behind the oversized hoodie he wore, but he was a kind looking boy with wide eyes and messy tufts of strawberry blonde hair. throughout the short time youâve seen him up close, he always had a slight smile on his resting face. in short, he looked approachable and was seemingly friendly.
âso, do you need help with anything?â he asks again and you decide that maybe he can be of use to you. especially if he has the strength that miwa had described.
âactually, yeah. can you lift those boxes over there and bring them to the other side of the room? theyâre kind of heavy-â
she was correct because he lifts the box, which is supposedly about thirty kilograms according to your teacher, with ease. now, you donât have to constantly go back and forth around the room just to put the packaged metal away in a farther cabinet and he can probably just put them away himself, too. it goes that way for the next hour and a half, both of you staying in your respective sides of the room, putting away your own respective items.
âthanks, itadori.â
âcall me yuji.â
âwill do.â
over the next two weeks, you two donât talk as much as yuji had hoped.
he still remembers gojoâs words of encouragement, his push to get his favorite student to talk to the person who drops off notes to the teacher across the hallway from time to time. heâs never talked to you and he doubts you would even know that he existed in the first place. in fact, he was perfectly content with just stapling the papers that gojo would give him, maybe getting his own homework done in the period, but he was insistent.
âiâve seen you staring outside the window whenever they pass by, yuji. just talk to them.â
âitâs okay.â
âno itâs not. get to know her. what if theyâre nice? hmmmmm?â
âiâll talk to her myself at some point.â
that was all it took for gojo to leave him alone, not that he didnât like gojo or anything, especially with gojo being his second favorite teacher in the first place, but heâs content with his little crush. and again, he doubted that you would remember him in your history class and from the looks of it, he was right.
he just didnât expect to be sent at the very stockroom that you would be in. for the rest of the semester. gojo had definitely set him up for something.
yuji was in that conflicting position in which he didnât know whether to start a conversation or not because he didnât want to bother you. but he also wanted to get to know you up close. of course he can sense your exhaustion himself through droopy eyelids that threaten to close and your dependence on caffeine, something he had learned about you so far in these few weeks. the only thing, it seems like.
as for you, a short talk with your science teacher confirmed that he wouldnât be leaving anytime soon and though you will miss dancing around the stockroom by yourself, he wasnât bad company. he mostly kept to himself, often being more rigid when you barely spared him a glance. at the times you would speak to him, he seemed more excitable and easygoing, listening to every word you say.
âyuji?â
âhmm?â
âcome help me by unboxing these beakers, alright?â you patted the spot next to you before sliding the blade down the tape, âdonât worry. iâm not gonna stab you.â
âi guess iâll help,â he snorts, âdonât you usually do these by yourself?â
âyeah, but since youâre spending the semester with me in here, we might as well get to know each other right?â
the whirring of the fan, the sound of your voice â it all seemed to fade into the background as his heart thumped hard in his chest. a million thoughts, both good and bad, race through his head as he formulated different questions, answers, and scenarios in his mind, all of them being a jumble of fantasy and panic.
you wave a hand in front of his face in an attempt to catch his attention. he seemed completely frozen, staring at you with dead eyes and itâs now that you realize you havenât seen him up this close. honey brown eyes, the soft curve of his nose, and were those crinkles under his eyes, too? up until now, you only knew him as the âathletic man who was bad at mathâ, but he was also undeniably beautiful with his carved face and strawberry blonde hair.
âyuuuuuuuji?â
âoh! iâm sorry! did you say you wanted to get to know me?â
âyeah, weâre kind of stuck in this room everyday for an hour and a half together. i might as well find out what your favorite color is or something.â
âred! my turn! what were you listening to when you almost stabbed me?â
âhey! it was an accident!â he giggles, slicing the tape seal down the middle and opening up the package and pointing right at it. âyou see that? that could have been me. i should at least know what iâm being stabbed to.â
âmeg thee stallion..â
ânevermind. sheâs beautiful and i wouldnât mind dying to her music.â
you snort, thinking up another question. maybe you should ask him about why that megumi guy was so gloomy? nope, might get too personal. what about the reason heâs here? nope, you already know.
âwhy donât you do any sports even though youâre literally physically gifted?â you ask curiously. thereâs still a smile on his face, but his expression becomes more wistful. you didnât accidentally hit a spot, did you?
âmy grandpa is in the hospital,â oh shit, you think, âi visit him everyday and if i was on a team, i would have to go to practice at the same time.â
âiâm sorry. i didnât mean to hit a sensitive topic, but thatâs sweet of you.â
âi donât mind. and iâm sorry if i made you uncomfortable.â
âno, itâs alright. letâs just keep asking questions then, okay?â
he nods.
in one hour, you learn that yuji itadori also likes karaoke, rice bowls, and that heâs just as bad at science than math. ironic. and yuji enjoys getting to know more about you, falling into easy conversation, becoming less of a nervous wreck. the more you speak, the deeper he falls into the trance and he silently thanks gojo for letting him get a closer look because youâre even better than what he could have imagined.
but the period is coming to an end and itâs time for him to carry off the last box of beakers to his side of the room. at least thereâs time for another question and itâs his turn to ask.
âwhatâs your type?â
you place your fingers on your chin as you think for a moment, finding a common trait in every crush for a proper answer.
âi guess my type would be sweet boys. with pretty faces, like you, i guess.â
the response is nonchalant and you donât think twice about it. maybe you were a little too tired to process how heâd interpret it or maybe a little too tired to filter yourself, but it slips out of your mouth like butter and youâre completely unphased. shameless, even.
meanwhile, the box drops to the ground and like before, every other noise besides his own heartbeat fades into the background, even the sound of shattering glass. heat creeps of his neck into his cheeks until his face is burning, his feet stuck in their place and his palms becoming uncomfortably sweaty. his mouth is wide open, but no words come out.
âyuji! we need to clean this, hurry up!â
your voice brings him out of his thoughts as he realizes whatâs been done and immediately snaps back to carefully, but quickly, picking up the shards of glass and placing them in this box. âi-iâm sorry!â
âdonât worry. just leave the box on the counter and weâll deal with it tomorrow.â
maybe you didnât quite realize what you had said or what effect you had on him during that time in the stockroom because you continue everyday as if nothing happened.
itâs been, what? a little over a three weeks? and sitting next to you still causes his mind to go to odd places, ones with you. he starts to notice little things about you, too. how your tongue peaks out of your mouth when youâre peeling another sheet of bubble wrap off of some glassware, how you only count in even numbers when you take inventory of the containers.
god, you were adorable.
âyuji?â
âyeah?â
âdid gojo ever tell you that thereâs no cameras in here?â
âno? i thought they had security cameras everywhere.â
âthatâs only hallways and classrooms. thereâs none of them here. do you know what that means?â
âwhat?â
his head is already turned in your direction, the perfect opportunity to lean in and catch his lips. itâs small and heâs hesitant at first, but before you know it, your hands tangle in his hair, bringing him closer to you. he tastes like something sweet, like cherries, and his lips are warm. one hand rests on your cheek, his thumb brushing against it endearingly. when he pulls away, both of you are panting for air, the packages long forgotten.
âthis sounds bad, but iâm glad that youâre terrible at math.â
âthanks.â he laughs and admires the look of your heated cheeks and swollen lips before pulling you back in for another searing kiss.
sure. being in that room by yourself could be fun, a perfect break with menial tasks lacking human interaction. you were far too tired to be patient with other people. but there was an exception.

Can I request Tsundere!Yoongi from sentence starters fluff 3. âHave you seen my hoodie?â âNooo.â âYouâre wearing it, arenât you?â Thank you! đĽ°
âhave you seen my hoodie?â
âno...â
âyouâre wearing it arenât you?
muses. human tsundere!yoongi x cat hybrid!reader
warning: implied smut
note. this is also posted on my other blog because it wasnât showing up on searches. iâm posting this here as well as a formality!
x
are all humans this odd?
min yoongi gazed at you like youâve got the most magnificent horns in the kingdom. silly, cats donât have horns. minotaurs do.
youâve met a few on your journey to find a mate. theyâre not very nice. their heads are too big for their little feet. their dicks are big though. not that theyâll get anywhere with that kind of personality.
and you say journey but actually, you venture a little beyond the borders of the felidaeâs territory because all the males tend to go for your elder sisters, leaving you with nothing but your fingerpads to get you through your heat.
this year, youâve decided to find yourself another species, a different breed. white lions are too possessive, stallions tend to mate with too many, songbirds are get attached too easily and you canât kiss vipers without being intoxicated on their essences.
you keep walking, deep in thoughts as the trees you pass by start looking the exact same. before you know it, the forest line cedes and the blades of grass that caress your soles have turned to hard, solid earth.
in front of you, stands a boy - your nose crinkles - no, at first sight, those sleepy eyes and slightly puckered lips look like that of a boyâs but this- this person without any distinct feature to identify his breed, is definitely a man.
min yoongi is a man in every sense of instinct.
âwh-what are you doing?â thatâs when his droopy eyes come to life, and as you said, as if you bear two magnificent horns on your head.
but heâs not looking at your head. heâs looking at your chest.
âoof!â you breathe out at the soft material that lands on your face, the scent engulfing you smells strongly of him.
what is he?
âw-wear that,â his voice trembles but youâre more interested in this fur-like material heâs telling you to wear. it has one big hole and three smaller ones.
âfuckâs sake, all i wanted was some mushrooms for dinner,â odd. yoongi, he-
âdo all your kinds speak to yourselves?â you ask once your ears pop out of one of the holes and then your head.
âdonât your kinds?â he answers, sighing before crossing the distance between you and him and placing a hand on top of your head, âyouâre wearing it wrong. donât you hybrids have clothes?â
the world goes dark for the briefest moment as you feel the material - clothes, he says? - shift around and finally gets pulled over your head. the hole is much larger and comfier around your neck.
âitâs warm,â you hum, rubbing your cheek against the material on your shoulder, âit smells good too. it smells like you.â
youâre not sure why but his species get red especially on his cheeks and ears.
âth-thanks, i guess.â
âyouâre welcome.â you grin.
x
âso why were you walking around in the forest owned by humans?â yoongi asks when he closes the movable plank thatâs attached to his cube-looking cave. itâs well carved.
ah, so the journey you initially set out has lead you far beyond the felidae territory.
âare you a human?â you answer his question with another question.
he doesnât seem to care and instead starts making a fire and setting up shiny containers on the fire. you expect him to start cursing and looking distressed again when the container melts - are all humans this stupid? - but the container remains intact in its natural form.
is it metal?
metal is the only thing that can withstand fire but the pantheras tend to keep the those for themselves to make arrowheads.
you shiver at the remembrance of those golden eyes. the pantheras may have been part of the fedilaes but theyâve long since abandoned their origins, claiming that they were more superior.
âyou can have some mushroom soup and leave, iâm sure a kid like you can find her way home,â he has a similar material - clothes - that and put it on while you were deep in your thoughts.
âiâm not a kid - well, i havenât mated yet, but iâm not a kid,â you say.
he laughs. itâs the kind of laugh that those arrogant minatours do but heâs actually cute so youâll let it slide, âyeah? so how old are you?â
âin fidelae years, twenty-three,â you say, bringing your legs to your chest under the âclothesâ and hugging yourself, enjoying the softness of the material until a loud clang reverberates from where he is.
youâre on your feet in an instant, padding towards where the human male is, cupping his hand and gazing down at it with a sort of grimace.
âgive it to me,â you say, gently prying his uninjured hand off and directing his finger to your lips.
it takes a few seconds for the blood to stop flowing from the cut, when it does, you release his finger, giving it a few licks before looking up at yoongi whoâs face has turned beet red yet again.
you pick up the scent of his arousal as he looks again, muttering a âth-thanks, but you shouldnât do that to other people - not even males of your kind, got it?â
âyoongi,â you finally say his name, fingers tugging on the hem of his âclothesâ, âif you donât want me to treat other males like that, then take me. make me yours.â
when he twists his porcelain neck to face you - he looks like all the blood in his body is rushing to his head. itâs a surprise that he hasnât exploded. but you guess, as he cups your cheek in his hands, the trace of blood from the cut brushing against your skin and crashes his lips on yours - he explodes in a different way.
x
min yoongi tastes divine. like the dew drop of first light after the blue moon. he tastes different from you.
you might have been a little curious and decided to lick your juice coated fingers after youâd taken care of yourself.
ây-your teeth-â he stammers, propping his elbows on the thing he calls bed as he looks at you with the most adorable lust-filled gaze.
you ran your tongue over your canines. well, they never hurt you but theyâre still pretty sharp. either way, youâve licked him enough to know just how good he tastes like.
he tastes divine but he must feel better.
you grin, traces of your excitement pouring over his hardened dick as you stand over it on your knees, âthank you for accepting me as your mate for this year!â
and then you take him all the way to the hilt. the pent up frustrations from all those years youâve lost to your sisters when it comes to finding a mate blooms in your core and spreads all over your body like sweet, sweet venom.
do all human dicks feel this good?
yoongiâs making the prettiest sound with that pretty face of his as you bounce on his dick. and he lets you do whatever you want. you heard from your sisters that the males of your kin have too big of an ego to let the females take the lead.
âtake the hoodie off,â yoongi tugs on the hem of your own clothes.
âwhy? itâs so comfy!â you whine but know that youâd succumb those pretty pink lips and those clouded eyes anyway.
âi wanna touch you too.â
and so the clothes -hoodie - comes off. and all of a sudden, youâre the shy little kitten thatâs hiding her face in her hands as the human male teases your erect nipples. then he pulls you lower until his mouth traps your nipple and his other hand starts coaxing your hips to move again - youâre not sure why or when you stopped.
but youâve shed off some of the shyness as your bodies mold together into one and an unfamiliar yet familiar spasms of climax shoots through your body.
you end up reaching for the hoodie despite yoongiâs complaints - something about âcanât be naked aloneâ. he declines your offer to help him into his own hoodie and opts for wrapping his arms around you, his chin on the top of your head and his jawline brushing against the side of your ears, âiâll keep warm like this.â
x
humans may be odd but theyâve got good stamina. every waking moment of your and yoongiâs lives, you both spend them tangled in his bed or cuddled up on his couch - sometimes you end up on the floor, and thatâs nice too because yoongi lends you his arm as a pillow while you cuddle up to him.
but lately, something seems to be bothering him and you find out why on the last day of your heat.
âyou thanked me for being your mate for this year... do you change mates every year?â heâs staring at the ceiling with a sort of thoughtfulness thatâs never usually there.
heâs either sleepy or horny most of the time.
other times he gets up to cook for the two of you.
âweâre encouraged to look for different mates in order to find the strongest that we can use to bear children with and continue the royal bloodline but the nobles and below donât need to try so hard to find mates. they usually stay with their first mate.â
yoongiâs thoughtful hum vibrates under your fingerpads that lie on his chest - you enjoy feeling the different patterns of his heartbeat.
âwait... are you a royal?â his wide eyes gaze into you like the first time you met, as if youâve grown horns on your head.
âmy father is amun, the conqueror of the kingdom,â you nod, âbut since iâm the youngest, the pressure to procreate isnât that big, i doubt anyone notices iâve been away for three months. i should probably go back.â
âyeah,â he looks like heâs about to cry any moment, âyou should,â but he turns away before you can say anything.
x
ever since yesterday, yoongiâs been acting odd.
cold and distant, as if youâre both strangers living under the same roof. you want to wait until he wakes up to tell him goodbye but itâs a few hours past first light and your guardians, having been lifted from their heat, may be searching high and low for you. so you slip out of yoongiâs bed and out of the plank - door.
as you thought, jennie and lisa were on the verge of crying and going to your father to offer their heads for failing to find out their masterâs whareabouts.
âmy lady,â jennie nose crinkles as she takes repeated whiffs of your scent, âthis scent- it doesnât belong to a felidae.â
âdid you mate with a pathera?â lisaâs round eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
you giggle before bringing your index finger to your lips, âshh, donât tell father but- heâs a human.â
âa-a human?â jennie whispers under her breath, âmy lady, you know what they say about humans! th-theyâre like gods! they have the purest forms without tails or thorns on their body!â
âi know, thatâs why you two must keep it a secret.â you say but the moment you walk down the pillars leading to the throne, you know everyone can smell the scent of yoongi on you.
your sistersâ alarmed gazes doesnât go past you but you take your spot on the far end of the throne anyway.
â___ - you- who was your mate?â your sister, agatha, asks.
sheâs been rubbing the fact that sheâs had more mates than your years of living.
âwhy should i tell you?â you shoot her a victorious grin.
she huffs, displeased, âwait until father knows about this.â
and as if on cue, the horn begins to blow and silence settles all over the throne as a beast larger than two- no, three felidaes in their beast forms combined, struts down the pillared isle, his steps light and graceful as is his transformation as the beast gets on two paws and takes the remaining of his steps on his two feet.
âfelidaes, thank you for gathering here on this wonderful day after yet another successful mating season. i look forward welcoming new cubs to our prides,â he announces.
âand to ___, my youngest, when will i be able to meet this human mate of yours?â he turns to you, pride laced around his words as agatha and the rest of the peopleâs eyes widen at the word âhumanâ.
you giggle, feeling the blood rushing to your face - this must have been how yoongi felt every time his face goes red, âfather, you know how humans are different from us. please give us more time.â
x
humans are odd.
min yoongi especially so.
he acts like nothingâs changed from the time you were living with him to the time youâve left him. it may have been a short period - has it been a month? - of running away from the ladies that try to pry the story of you and your human mate and the males that sudden have their attention turned to you, trying to court you with offerings of the ancient relics and deepest colored gems.
your tail sways over the ledge of the window as you watch the human male set walk pass you and set up the table before going back to the kitchen only to stop midway. as if heâs seen a ghost.
oh well, at least it isnât horns.
then he slowly turns to you with eyes round and awake - shocked and disbelieved, even.
â____, y-you came back?â he stammers out.
you grin, hopping off the ledge and bounding right into his arms, your own wrapped around his neck whilst your naked breasts press up against his chest, âi missed your hoodie, so i came back.â
yoongi looks like heâs about to scold you and cry at the same time, but he does neither. instead, he cups your cheeks in his hands and kisses you like heâs never had a drop of water since the day you left.
and you kiss back, savoring the taste of your human mate whom youâve chosen to spend your whole life with.
you spend your days cuddled together in his sheets like you did before except youâre not licking his neck with every chance you get - itâs the part where he smells most divine besides his dick.
it turns out a humanâs heat is all year round. during winter, his hand slips under the hoodie and touches your lower lips. during summer, he keeps trying to take off the hoodie. in autumn and spring, he doesnât mind the hoodie as much. but you suppose you canât be hogging all of them at once.
âhave you seen my hoodie?â he means the one he claims to be his and is supposed to be steal-proof.
the bright red one with a skull at the back.
you feel your ears perking at the word, thankfully the hoodâs covering your head, âno...â
a good few seconds pass without yoongi saying anything, before he sighs, âyouâre wearing it, arenât you?â
underneath your black hoodie, a piece of bright red peeks from the neckline. so you peek up at the human male, laughing sheepishly, âitâs just so comfy and it smells like you...â
âi should start charging you for fees,â he plants his hands on either sides of you, resting his forehead on yours as he smirks deviously.
âf-fees?â you laugh, âw-well, the kingdom is filled with minerals you humans seem to love.â
âpay up with your body,â thereâs a glint in his eyes - the kind that used to get buried beneath blushed skin and shyly closed eyes.
you feel your ears perking up, your tail swaying behind you as you tilt your head in just the right angle to kiss his lips. when you pull away, his face is glowing beet red.
âokay, i paid my dues, right?â you shoot him one of your smiles.
he looks like he has more to say, disappointed even, but he settles with a ây-yeah.â
tugging on his hand and swiftly pulling him down onto the bed, cradling his waist. his face looks like itâs about to explode. you giggle.
âyou- youâre teasing me,â his forehead creases and he looks like heâs about to kill you and kiss you at the same time.
humans are odd.
min yoongi, especially so.

âhave you seen my hoodie?â
âno...â
âyouâre wearing it arenât you?
warning: implied smut
x
are all humans this odd?
min yoongi gazed at you like youâve got the most magnificent horns in the kingdom. silly, cats donât have horns. minotaurs do.
youâve met a few on your journey to find a mate. theyâre not very nice. their heads are too big for their little feet. their dicks are big though. not that theyâll get anywhere with that kind of personality.
and you say journey but actually, you venture a little beyond the borders of the felidaeâs territory because all the males tend to go for your elder sisters, leaving you with nothing but your fingerpads to get you through your heat.
this year, youâve decided to find yourself another species, a different breed. white lions are too possessive, stallions tend to mate with too many, songbirds are get attached too easily and you canât kiss vipers without being intoxicated on their essences.
you keep walking, deep in thoughts as the trees you pass by start looking the exact same. before you know it, the forest line cedes and the blades of grass that caress your soles have turned to hard, solid earth.
in front of you, stands a boy - your nose crinkles - no, at first sight, those sleepy eyes and slightly puckered lips look like that of a boyâs but this- this person without any distinct feature to identify his breed, is definitely a man.
min yoongi is a man in every sense of instinct.
âwh-what are you doing?â thatâs when his droopy eyes come to life, and as you said, as if you bear two magnificent horns on your head.
but heâs not looking at your head. heâs looking at your chest.
âoof!â you breathe out at the soft material that lands on your face, the scent engulfing you smells strongly of him.
what is he?
âw-wear that,â his voice trembles but youâre more interested in this fur-like material heâs telling you to wear. it has one big hole and three smaller ones.
âfuckâs sake, all i wanted was some mushrooms for dinner,â odd. yoongi, he-
âdo all your kinds speak to yourselves?â you ask once your ears pop out of one of the holes and then your head.
âdonât your kinds?â he answers, sighing before crossing the distance between you and him and placing a hand on top of your head, âyouâre wearing it wrong. donât you hybrids have clothes?â
the world goes dark for the briefest moment as you feel the material - clothes, he says? - shift around and finally gets pulled over your head. the hole is much larger and comfier around your neck.
âitâs warm,â you hum, rubbing your cheek against the material on your shoulder, âit smells good too. it smells like you.â
youâre not sure why but his species get red especially on his cheeks and ears.
âth-thanks, i guess.â
âyouâre welcome.â you grin.
x
âso why were you walking around in the forest owned by humans?â yoongi asks when he closes the movable plank thatâs attached to his cube-looking cave. itâs well carved.
ah, so the journey you initially set out has lead you far beyond the felidae territory.
âare you a human?â you answer his question with another question.
he doesnât seem to care and instead starts making a fire and setting up shiny containers on the fire. you expect him to start cursing and looking distressed again when the container melts - are all humans this stupid? - but the container remains intact in its natural form.
is it metal?
metal is the only thing that can withstand fire but the pantheras tend to keep the those for themselves to make arrowheads.
you shiver at the remembrance of those golden eyes. the pantheras may have been part of the fedilaes but theyâve long since abandoned their origins, claiming that they were more superior.
âyou can have some mushroom soup and leave, iâm sure a kid like you can find her way home,â he has a similar material - clothes - that and put it on while you were deep in your thoughts.
âiâm not a kid - well, i havenât mated yet, but iâm not a kid,â you say.
he laughs. itâs the kind of laugh that those arrogant minatours do but heâs actually cute so youâll let it slide, âyeah? so how old are you?â
âin fidelae years, twenty-three,â you say, bringing your legs to your chest under the âclothesâ and hugging yourself, enjoying the softness of the material until a loud clang reverberates from where he is.
youâre on your feet in an instant, padding towards where the human male is, cupping his hand and gazing down at it with a sort of grimace.
âgive it to me,â you say, gently prying his uninjured hand off and directing his finger to your lips.
it takes a few seconds for the blood to stop flowing from the cut, when it does, you release his finger, giving it a few licks before looking up at yoongi whoâs face has turned beet red yet again.
you pick up the scent of his arousal as he looks again, muttering a âth-thanks, but you shouldnât do that to other people - not even males of your kind, got it?â
âyoongi,â you finally say his name, fingers tugging on the hem of his âclothesâ, âif you donât want me to treat other males like that, then take me. make me yours.â
when he twists his porcelain neck to face you - he looks like all the blood in his body is rushing to his head. itâs a surprise that he hasnât exploded. but you guess, as he cups your cheek in his hands, the trace of blood from the cut brushing against your skin and crashes his lips on yours - he explodes in a different way.
x
min yoongi tastes divine. like the dew drop of first light after the blue moon. he tastes different from you.
you might have been a little curious and decided to lick your juice coated fingers after youâd taken care of yourself.
ây-your teeth-â he stammers, propping his elbows on the thing he calls bed as he looks at you with the most adorable lust-filled gaze.
you ran your tongue over your canines. well, they never hurt you but theyâre still pretty sharp. either way, youâve licked him enough to know just how good he tastes like.
he tastes divine but he must feel better.
you grin, traces of your excitement pouring over his hardened dick as you stand over it on your knees, âthank you for accepting me as your mate for this year!â
and then you take him all the way to the hilt. the pent up frustrations from all those years youâve lost to your sisters when it comes to finding a mate blooms in your core and spreads all over your body like sweet, sweet venom.
do all human dicks feel this good?
yoongiâs making the prettiest sound with that pretty face of his as you bounce on his dick. and he lets you do whatever you want. you heard from your sisters that the males of your kin have too big of an ego to let the females take the lead.
âtake the hoodie off,â yoongi tugs on the hem of your own clothes.
âwhy? itâs so comfy!â you whine but know that youâd succumb those pretty pink lips and those clouded eyes anyway.
âi wanna touch you too.â
and so the clothes -hoodie - comes off. and all of a sudden, youâre the shy little kitten thatâs hiding her face in her hands as the human male teases your erect nipples. then he pulls you lower until his mouth traps your nipple and his other hand starts coaxing your hips to move again - youâre not sure why or when you stopped.
but youâve shed off some of the shyness as your bodies mold together into one and an unfamiliar yet familiar spasms of climax shoots through your body.
you end up reaching for the hoodie despite yoongiâs complaints - something about âcanât be naked aloneâ. he declines your offer to help him into his own hoodie and opts for wrapping his arms around you, his chin on the top of your head and his jawline brushing against the side of your ears, âiâll keep warm like this.â
x
humans may be odd but theyâve got good stamina. every waking moment of your and yoongiâs lives, you both spend them tangled in his bed or cuddled up on his couch - sometimes you end up on the floor, and thatâs nice too because yoongi lends you his arm as a pillow while you cuddle up to him.
but lately, something seems to be bothering him and you find out why on the last day of your heat.
âyou thanked me for being your mate for this year... do you change mates every year?â heâs staring at the ceiling with a sort of thoughtfulness thatâs never usually there.
heâs either sleepy or horny most of the time.
other times he gets up to cook for the two of you.
âweâre encouraged to look for different mates in order to find the strongest that we can use to bear children with and continue the royal bloodline but the nobles and below donât need to try so hard to find mates. they usually stay with their first mate.â
yoongiâs thoughtful hum vibrates under your fingerpads that lie on his chest - you enjoy feeling the different patterns of his heartbeat.
âwait... are you a royal?â his wide eyes gaze into you like the first time you met, as if youâve grown horns on your head.
âmy father is amun, the conqueror of the kingdom,â you nod, âbut since iâm the youngest, the pressure to procreate isnât that big, i doubt anyone notices iâve been away for three months. i should probably go back.â
âyeah,â he looks like heâs about to cry any moment, âyou should,â but he turns away before you can say anything.
x
ever since yesterday, yoongiâs been acting odd.
cold and distant, as if youâre both strangers living under the same roof. you want to wait until he wakes up to tell him goodbye but itâs a few hours past first light and your guardians, having been lifted from their heat, may be searching high and low for you. so you slip out of yoongiâs bed and out of the plank - door.
as you thought, jennie and lisa were on the verge of crying and going to your father to offer their heads for failing to find out their masterâs whareabouts.
âmy lady,â jennie nose crinkles as she takes repeated whiffs of your scent, âthis scent- it doesnât belong to a felidae.â
âdid you mate with a pathera?â lisaâs round eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
you giggle before bringing your index finger to your lips, âshh, donât tell father but- heâs a human.â
âa-a human?â jennie whispers under her breath, âmy lady, you know what they say about humans! th-theyâre like gods! they have the purest forms without tails or thorns on their body!â
âi know, thatâs why you two must keep it a secret.â you say but the moment you walk down the pillars leading to the throne, you know everyone can smell the scent of yoongi on you.
your sistersâ alarmed gazes doesnât go past you but you take your spot on the far end of the throne anyway.
â___ - you- who was your mate?â your sister, agatha, asks.
sheâs been rubbing the fact that sheâs had more mates than your years of living.
âwhy should i tell you?â you shoot her a victorious grin.
she huffs, displeased, âwait until father knows about this.â
and as if on cue, the horn begins to blow and silence settles all over the throne as a beast larger than two- no, three felidaes in their beast forms combined, struts down the pillared isle, his steps light and graceful as is his transformation as the beast gets on two paws and takes the remaining of his steps on his two feet.
âfelidaes, thank you for gathering here on this wonderful day after yet another successful mating season. i look forward welcoming new cubs to our prides,â he announces.
âand to ___, my youngest, when will i be able to meet this human mate of yours?â he turns to you, pride laced around his words as agatha and the rest of the peopleâs eyes widen at the word âhumanâ.
you giggle, feeling the blood rushing to your face - this must have been how yoongi felt every time his face goes red, âfather, you know how humans are different from us. please give us more time.â

oh well, at least it isnât horns.
then he slowly turns to you with eyes round and awake - shocked and disbelieved, even.

Part two!! You can find part one on my blog, its the only other one hehe. Once again, feedback is much appreciated!Â
warnings: smut, fluff, oral, fem!reader receiving, car sex with a twist ;), post date sexy timeÂ
word count: +1.7
part 1, part 2
The white lights in the ice cream parlor cast a luminescence in Chanâs eyes that draws out a lighter brown color as he studies the flavors below him.  You really hope he picks vanilla or sweet cream or something whiteâŚnot for any particular reason, you just liked the thought of it pooling at the sides of his plush lips and dribbling down his chin, running down his sweaty neck-
âY/n? Â You gonna get something?â Â Chanâs concerned voice pierces through your embarrassing thoughts as you snap your eyes up to his. Â He giggles at catching you off guard and nudges you softly with his shoulder, nodding at the ice cream case. Â The pastel pink clad employee gives you a jaded stare and you quickly choose your go-to: artificial pink and blue cotton candy in a sugar cone. Â A soft, endeared smile spreads across Chanâs face and he tells the worker that heâll be getting strawberry cream. Â You pout a little, but the mostly vanilla ice cream with chunks of strawberries will have to satisfy your fantasies. Â Not that Chan would let the sweet trickle down his beautiful face, heâs always too clean for that, you realize to your dismay. Â
Once again, Chan pays, claiming that you paid last time though you canât really remember as you both head back to his car. Â With one hand on the steering wheel, one cautiously gripping the cone, Chan drives to a secluded hill that overlooks the nightscape. Â By this time, youâre already crunching down on the cone while Chan licks around the ice cream. Â With his eyes trained on the twinkling lights in front of you, so itâs easy to just stare at him. Â
His cherry red hair is messy and curls raise from his neck, the same curls that you love playing with at night, when his head is on your chest and his breathing is all you can hear. Â A wistful look overcomes his eyes as he turns them up to the heavenly bodies heâs so enraptured by. Â Every time you both come up here, he always talks about constellations, meteors, and shooting stars. Â The wonder and excitement in his eyes and voice whenever he does makes your heart swell and thank the stars for giving him so much joy. Â Youâve decided to appreciate them more than before, just because Chan loves them so much. Â
His voice this time, however, is distant as he rests his head on the headrest. Â âSome civilizations thought that the stars were souls reincarnated so that their loved ones would have light in the night.â
You nod solemnly, âYeah, like Mufasa.â
A choked laugh escapes from Chanâs throat as he stares at you in disbelief and amusement, âLike Lion King?â
Smiling, you nod again, âIt would make sense, though. Â Thatâs why there are so many. Â And maybe shooting stars are people that momentarily died but came back and thatâs why we wish on them, to have as much luck as them.â
Chan lets out a low, âHmm, Iâd never thought of that before. Â Maybe constellations are families or groups of friends.â
A slow smile spreads across your face as you complete Chanâs sentence, âSo then, you can stay with your loved ones after death.â Â He nods, looking over at you with what you can only describe as admiration and contentment. Â
Youâve long finished your ice cream but Chanâs just started on his cone. Â He mistakes your stare as a silent plead, smiling softly as he offers you a bite. Â Your mind is made up in a split second, you very slowly, while looking straight at Chan with doe eyes, take a long lick of his ice cream, flicking it back into your mouth. Â You smirk as Chan stares at you, shocked before rushing to quickly eat his cone. Â
âYou wanna use that promise from last time, babygirl?â
Finally. Â
Youâve moved into the cool night breeze as Chan lays down on the roof of his car, patting his chest, a smirk on his face. Â You whine, tugging at his black t shirt, âNo, take this off please.â
He laughs softly and sits up to swiftly do so.  The pale, milky white of Chanâs chest provides beautiful contrast to the dark night sky and you really canât help but stare at him.  Like the flirt he is, Chan gives you a wink before laying back down on the roof.  It really doesnât help because  the anticipation has a coil tightening in your stomach as you can feel the uncomfortable wetness sticking your panties to your hot core.  You pull your simple black panties off, tossing them on top of Chanâs shirt, which rests on the hood. Â
âYâknow, Channie Iâd really like to keep my skirt on, but I wanna see your pretty eyes.â
The thought of your bare ass out in the open night air causes Chanâs semi to harden just a bit more than heâd like to admit. Â Of course though, seeing it is better than imagining and when you unzip your pastel purple skirt, Chan groans loudly. Â The cool air hits your hot thighs and dripping pussy, making you clench around nothing. Â Chan pulls you by your hands to him, your wetness rubbing against his glorious abs. Â The friction makes you quiver against Chanâs lips. Â Though his abs provide a cold surface to rut on, Chanâs neck is hot as you press open mouthed kisses and make red marks all over it. Â
Your hands are in his red hair and plays with his soft curls, a contrast to your vicious teeth, ravaging his pretty neck. Â Chanâs sharp Adamâs apple bobs as his tent grows and you pull back. Â
âWhat if someone comes up here, Chan?â Â You ask dumbly, realizing you should have asked this when he pulled you out of the car. Â Beneath you, Chan gives you a cheeky, wide smile. Â
âThen youâd better get to it, babygirl,â he says, smacking your ass lightly. Â
You give him a half hearted glareâthe ache in your core is too much to ignore for too long. Â The car roof is smooth under your knees as you lower your dripping, hot core onto Chanâs puckered lips. Â When he give a tentative lick, your arms shoot out onto the roof, catching you. Â
âM-more,â you whisper, beginning to grind on Chanâs face.
His cold hands grip your bare thighs tightly and he sticks his tongue into you, nodding his head to your tempo.  His wet mouth fans hot breaths into you and you squeeze Chanâs head between your thighs.  You feel his lips curl into a smile and you look down to see Chanâs adorable cheek  squished between your thighs.  His eyes form smiling crescents and you let out a giggle, âYouâre so cute, Channie.â
He cocks an eyebrow and you know heâd say something along the lines of âeven while youâre riding my face?â. Â
When his teeth snag your clit, you double forward again, using your arms as leverage to grind down harder on Chanâs face. Â No doubt Chanâs grip on your thighs will leave bruises and you tremble at the thought. Â Reading your mind, Chan removes his hands, making you whine loudly. Â While he runs caresses up your right thigh, his other hand finds its way up to rub your swollen bud. Â Your high pitched, embarrassing moan has you biting down on your shoulder, afraid to alert anyone in the area. Â Annoyed by this, Chan shoves two long, ringed fingers into your core. Â The underside of his rings are warm from gripping your skin but the tops of them are cold from the night air and your jaw lets go of your shoulder, moaning with no regards for anyone but the man under you. Â He curls his fingers, beckoning your orgasm closer, scissoring deep into you. Â You feel his rings clink together. Â
Its coming faster than you want; you donât want this moment, overcome by euphoria, to end. Â You cry out, trying your absolute best to hold out though your thighs burn from the repetitive motion. Â
Chan removes his fingers, trailing your arousal on your thigh before clutching your hips still. Â His tongue continues its swirling, thrusting assault into you and you gasp as it becomes harder to fend off your orgasm. Â His lips press into your clit harshly, spreading your folds apart. Â You feel his hand move down and his grunts as he pulls down his pants, almost frantically jacking off. Â The thought of how this looks causes you to loose your motivation to hold out. Â âI-Iâm gonna come,â you whine, ready to let go. Â Chanâs tongue slows down and you cry out as you realize heâs telling you to wait. Â Despite his almost lethargic tongue movements, you feel his hand quickly maneuver over his undoubtedly aching dick. Â Tears spring in your eyes as you canât go anymore.
When Chan groans into your core, you feel hot ropes of Chanâs cum spray onto ass and probably onto Chanâs abs. Â Your body spasms in pleasure as your high crashes over you. Â It has your eyes rolling into your head, your toes curling, and a high-pitched cry torn from your throat. Â Chanâs tongue licks you up and you canât wait to see his face covered in your juices.
Pulling back shakily and weakly, you collapse onto Chanâs chest, ignoring his cum on both of you. Â With a dumb smile on his face, he looks down at you and you swear you could come again from the sight before you. Â His hair sticks out from your constant tugging and his eyes are hazy and droopy from lust. Â His red lips glisten in from your cum, which coats his chin and is so slowly dribbling down to cover his jawline. Â
His voice is thick and low, âIs this what you were thinking about when I was eating my ice cream, babygirl?â
Tiredly, you nod your head as the burning in your thighs subsides, moving to cuddle into Chanâs arms. Â You lick up your arousal from his neck, tracing the trail up to his swollen lips. Â The kiss is sloppy, a mix of your cum and both of your saliva. Â Its hot and messy, but Chanâs hand gently strokes your cheek.

Heated Shelter
A stressed out Loki comes to seek comfort with reader. A/N: Next part for my Winter themed LokixReader stories! Gender Neutral Reader! Warnings: Slight angst!
Months had passed since New Asgard was established on Earth, and while the Asgardians would continue to make necessary adjustments with Thor and the already citizens of Tønsberg, time was still much needed in order to fully assimilate into Midgardian culture.
Loki was especially having a difficult time, what with having both Thor and the Avengers breathing down his back 24/7, and the heavy boulder of burden he continued to carry as evidence for the horrors he caused and was involved in. Thor had much advocated for his brother and after a strenuous period of uncertainty, Loki was placed on a certain âcommunity serviceâ watch, to much of Tony Starkâs dismay.
Of course, this meant Loki was chained down by Midgardian Laws, unable to travel across the stars as he much desired to. He was stuck here, having to deal with the crushing discomfort of having to acclimate to life with the same creatures he once long ago intended to destroy. Thor, while his intentions good, was much too preoccupied with his role as King and as an Avenger. He had offered Loki a chance to stand by him as his royal advisor but he declined, knowing full well the amount of controversy it would create.
Loki would at times travel back and between New York and New Asgard as a way to keep busy and not linger too much around places where he was still not fully welcomed. He had thought about traveling the rest of Midgard, expanding his knowledge as he did in his younger years, however, his motivation also dwindled with any hopes of redemption.
A period while staying in NYC once again threw him almost over the edge, when a confrontation between him and Stark escalated quickly. Loki, being smart enough to understand the blame would be placed on him immediately, allowed the Ironman to win the argument, only to be met with a reprimanding speech of his adjustment on Earth.
It was humiliating, and Loki sought out for an escape. He couldnât go back to Thor, again, knowing his brother would not be much help in wanting to side against Stark again. He also couldnât stay here any longer, as much as he had wished for a reconciliation with Earthâs mightiest. For now, there was only one single place he had in mind to âwind downâ, just for one evening.
His hesitation took the better of him for a good minute as he stood frozen at your door. Cold winter winds passed through him, piercing his senses back to reality. A thought tugged at him, wanting to prevent himself from burdening you in the middle of the night. Sure, you had never turned him away as of yet but the possibility still stood. And he wasnât in the right set of mind to withstand a rejection from you.
Nevertheless, what else would he do at this point? With much courage and pride, he rang your doorbell once, declaring to make a prompt leave if you wouldnât answer the first one.
The door swung open, revealing a disheveled looking human, eyes squinting and adjusting to the brightness. Darn it.
âLoki?â You asked while rubbing your eyes. He noted your warm lounge wear, and the bird nest formed at the top of your head. Either you must have already been in deep slumber or were about to drift off if it were not for him.
âPardon my intrusion. Ah, I disturbed you didnât I?â Loki asked. His already fidgeting hands unconsciously came together, a small habit he had picked up from Frigga for when he was uncomfortable.
âI was about to fall asleep, but no! Donât worry, uh, is everything ok?â You asked while patting your obvious bed head down.
No. But Loki couldnât tell you about his troubles from earlier today, what would the purpose of that be? For the first time, his sharp tongue failed him as he struggled to find the right words to say without revealing too much.
âWell...I do recall, some time ago, you mentioned that I would be, uh...welcomed here whenever I would please to.â
Loki felt stupid, his pride diminishing even further. His eloquent speech had failed him this time, knowing you were too smart to buy into the half-orchestrated lie he wanted to throw at you. He continued to pick at his fingers, ready to bolt and forget the whole ordeal. Surprisingly however, a small smile formed upon your face.
âSure, you can hang out here for a bit if you want.â You replied, gesturing him to follow you and come inside.
Loki slowly walked in, closing the door behind him. Your home was dark, with only a small tacky Christmas tree illuminating your living room. From his introspection, you were probably falling asleep on your couch, catching sight of a small fleece blanket hanging loosely at the edge.
âTake a seat. Iâm sorry itâs a bit chilly in here though, Iâm not a big fan of leaving the heater on at night.â You said while reaching over and tossing the blanket towards another chair.
âActually, it feels quite warm in here.â Loki replied, taking a seat at the edge of your couch.
âReally? I guess maybe it might be warm for an Asgardian.â You pondered, poking your lips in contemplation. âStill, I can heat us up something warm to drink if youâd like.â
Loki shook his head. âPlease, donât burden yourself. Iâll be fine like this.â
You became concerned. There was obviously something up with Loki. His meek presentation suggested a couple of things to you, and some ideas had sprouted in your head. Knowing how Loki took things however, this urged you to prod at him carefully.
âWhatâs wrong?â You began, taking a seat at the opposite end of the couch. You hoped the distance would make it easier for him to speak. âYou seem a bit...off.â
Loki slumped his back against your couch, arching an eyebrow at you. âOff?â
âLike, not your usual self. In fact,â You continued, Â leaning yourself slightly closer to Loki to catch a better glimpse of him through the soft light. âNow, taking a closer look at you, I can tell youâre exhausted about something.â
This was true. Lokiâs usual complexion was a bit darker than normally. Dark circles formed under his eyes, and although Loki never demonstrated any indication of wrinkles or laugh lines, there was a new crease forming over his forehead.
âIâm not tired.â He answered, not minding the decreased distance between the both of you. âI am however drained of this godforsaken planet.â
Those last words were filled with venom, and a deeply kept resentment began to slowly creep up into his throat. It was years since he had felt something like this, the intensity of his dissatisfaction and his hate for things, yet again, failing him horribly. No one wanted him here, that was clear enough. But he also wouldnât subject himself to be rooted down to the remnants of Asgard on Midgard. It scared him, to expose himself to that type of darkness again.
He felt your hand gently on his shoulders, dispersing all of the negative ideas forming inside of him. He looked up at you, also very tired and exhausted. Your eyes, although slightly droopy, were focused on his, offering a gesture of empathy.
âIâm sorry to hear that. I canât imagine how hard it must be for you to have to live in an alien planet.â Your voice was soft and sincere, a change of pace in contrast to his other encounters.
Loki pinched the bridge of his nose, releasing a long deep breath.
âIâve had this horrible pounding in my head for days now.â He admitted, uncertain of what youâd make out of this. âItâs causing me to...become what Iâve been wanting to avoid.â
You gently squeezed his shoulder, urging him to look at you again. âActually Loki, it does sound like youâre incredibly stressed about all of this. I donât know how stress works in Asgard...but maybe I can help you feel a bit better.â
Loki rolled his eyes, gently taking your hand off from his shoulder. âIâm not really in the mood for sex, especially with a mortal.â
Your face immediately became flushed. âJesus, no! Thatâs not what I meant!â
He chuckled. Your little reaction was quite adorable to him. âWhat did you mean then?â
âWell, whenever I feel stressed the one thing that always makes me relax is getting a nice head massage.â You responding, motioning your hands over your head. âI wouldnât mind doing that for you.â
A wary look appeared upon Lokiâs face. âYou will not touch my scalp.â
âDonât be such a baby Loki. You never know, you might actually like it. You can even relax enough and take a little nap here.â
Loki fully affirmed that coming here was a very bad idea on his part. He wasnât sure what he sought out coming here to look for you, but it certainly wasnât something like this. He did not need to be put in another humiliating position like earlier.
âYouâre out of your mind. And Iâm not tired.â He grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest.
You adjusted yourself on your couch, placing both of your feet flat on the floor. Your thighs became locked together and you gently patted down on them, motioning Loki to look on over.
âLay your head down on here.â
âAbsolutely not.â
âYou donât want to be a rude house guest now do you? Lay down you little grump.â
He cursed at himself for giving in so easily. Just as he was commanded to, he pulled himself over and gently laid his head upon your thighs. The couch, agonizingly too short for him to lay his legs out, forced him to raise them upon the armrest, leaving his legs out dangling in the open.
Now he felt really stupid.
You couldnât help but laugh. âIâm sorry about that. Didnât realize how tall you actually were.â
He didnât reply, a sour look plastered upon his face. Your humor towards the situation didnât help his self-esteem at all, but at least this would be done in privacy, for absolutely no one to know about.
You lowered your neck a bit to get a better angle on him. âKinda let your mind wander a bit. Itâs always nice when someone gives you this type of attention.â
This was a type of attention Loki seldom seemed to receive and he listened to you attentively regardless of his attitude towards it . You began, digging your small fingers into his locks, beginning to rub and tickle at his scalp in the most meticulous manner. You didnât pay much heed whether Loki was comfortable being touched in this matter or not. You had a goal in mind and Loki would have to abide by it in whatever manner he could.
It was actually a very long time since Loki had been touched in such a manner. Or, touched by a human at all. In Asgard, physical touch was also a way to form closer bonds and relationships with family and other loved ones. It wasnât alien to him to be touched gently by others, his memories always luring him towards the fond moments he shared with Frigga. She would comfort him by gently patting his head, or by singing soft Asgardian lullabies.
He knew humans also shared these similar traits. They were very physical creatures by nature as means to provide love and comfort. He had long forgotten what it had felt like, to be actually...taken care of by another. And even if your gestures were odd at best, he experienced a long lost feeling he had not felt for centuries.
You noticed Lokiâs eyes begin to flutter and droop. You knew he has tired and you wanted to know exactly what had caused for him to reach this point. But you knew best not to dig at it without his consent.
âLoki,â You whispered. âSleep, I know youâre very tired.â
His eyes widened and darted towards yours. You jumped back a bit as his expression became angrier.
âI am not tired.â He snarled, this time his voice louder and stronger. âI donât need your pity human.â
Ordinarily this would be a sign for you to back off, not wanting to anger the God any further. And yet, he remained there in the same exact spot. His head laid right on your lap, with no intention to move away.
You both remained quiet for a moment, wanting the tension to ease away before you could deject his statement towards you.
âItâs not pity, you know.â You said lowly. âItâs just concern, thereâs nothing wrong with that.â
Loki knew you were right. He told himself he needed to feel some contentment for your care for him, but a blockage continued to prevent him from verbalizing this towards you. He looked off to the side, wanting to avoid you eyes in shame.
âForgive me. I shouldnât have snapped at you in that form.â
âHey, donât be sorry.â You replied, resuming to dig your fingers between his hair and his scalp. âYouâve had a rough day today, so I think itâs only fair for you to be a bit defensive.â
âHmm.â The notion was different. For a long while, Loki was used to be talked down or to be admonished for his attitude and disdain for otherâs feelings. In fact, he usually expected for others to react so negatively towards his lack of control with his anger. It was nice to be understood, even for a bit.
âIâll just tell you one more time though. If you are tired, go ahead and nap for a bit. I wonât be bothered by it.â
You peered down to look at Loki, who continued to restrain himself from looking at you straight in the eyes. Instead he focused on your lips, soft and pink, practically begging to be kissed. Big mistake on his part.
âThank you.â It was all Loki could reply with, as his eyes continued to flutter at the movements of your delicate fingers massaging his scalp.
Would it be completely wrong for him to close his eyes for a moment or so? He felt tired, he felt warm and he felt secure under your touch. Your fingers traced along his scalp like feathers sending a wave of tingles down his neck. The gently tugs of his locks triggered memories of his hair being braided by his mother, further dragging him deeper into that gentle slumber he had desired for.
At last, heavy eyelids drooped close and Lokiâs breathing shifted, deeper and slower than before. You rested your head and arm against the armrest, feeling your legs go numb at the weight of Lokiâs head. You dared not shift however, despite the pain and small discomfort you experienced. You felt Loki doze off after half an hour or so, his eyes gently closed, hands placed sternly over his chest which rose upwards and down.
Your own heavy eyelids began to flutter, but you fought against it, wanting to continue staring down at the ethereal creature who had fallen asleep right on your lap. You knew he was beautiful, and also took every ounce of will power you had to prevent yourself from bending forward and planting a much wanted kiss on him.
You chose not to disturb him, allowing him to experience a momentâs peace with you.

Sleepless Nights
Summary: Bakugou canât sleep ever since the brutal breakup and decides to do something about it.
Authorâs Note: Here is the second story for @bnhabookclubââs Hero Camp Bingo event. The prompt I used was Betrayal. Itâs been a while since I wrote a Bakugou story, so of course he became my latest victim for an angst story (lmao). Donât worry, it does end on a good note!Â
As always, please enjoy!
Word Count: 2.1K+
Bakugou is restless.
Crimson eyes glare at the dark ceiling and his left arm unconsciously reaches over to hold you closer to himâsplat.
A cold bedside greets his rough hand, the silky sheets bunching up in his deadly grasp. Luckily the linens are not alive, or else they would be begging for mercy. Nitroglycerin secretes on his palms without fail, seeping through the thin fabric; it will turn into an unrecognizable, ashy pile if he ignites the sweat beads. Bakugou hesitates because these sheets are your favorite. Â
He jostles the gray covers off his body with a vicious growl. Bakugou forgot you arenât sleeping with him anymore after what happened three weeks ago. Grudgingly sitting up, he slams his back against the headboard. Bakugou shoves his face into his rough hands and grits his teeth as he remembers that unfortunate nightâdamn his stupid mouth.
Bakugou breathes through his nose and reaches to turn on his lamp. The dim yellow light partially illuminates his face, but fails to brighten the darkness swirling inside his heart. Heâs broken and wallowing in his despair. Both fists curl until his nails dangerously dig into his skin, a small trickle of blood oozing out that makes him curse, âFucking hell.â
His bed groans as Bakugou gets off and trudges out the bedroom to find the first-aid kit. He annoyingly rummages through the bathroomâs cabinets, your face mask packets spilling out on the floor. The womanâs perky fake smile irritates him to no end, his right eye twitching nonstop. Bakugou aggressively shoves them back inside as he yells, âWhat are you so damn happy about, idiot?!â
The cabinet door cracks after he slams it with brute force; a staggered breath escapes his mouth as he grips the sinkâs edge, ignoring the sting from the fresh wounds. Bakugou lifts his head until he stares at his heated reflection. Bloodshot irises glare back at him, his ashy blonde hair even more disheveled than usual. A blue kit sticks out like a sore thumb, and Bakugou snatches it; he freezes when he reads the words âBlastyâs First Aid Kitâ affectionately written across the cover.
A gut-wrenching punch attacks him without warning. Growling, he shuts the light off and storms to the living room. Bakugou tosses the kit on the coffee table, plopping down on the couch to get this shit over with. He carelessly rips the alcoholic wipeâs package, tasting the bitter flavor now burning his tongue and hissing when he rubs the napkin on his bloody scratch. Â
Unraveling the gauze, Bakugou realizes something is off. He hears no laughter or snarky comment coming at him. Ironically, the living room feels dead; itâs as if someone came in with a vacuum and sucked out any hint of warmth in this place. The blonde man glances at his palm with a frown. Usually, youâre the one tending to his wounds while scolding at him for his reckless behavior. He pretends to hate it, but deep down, he appreciates how much you love him.
Bakugou wishes heâd done the same for you that night.
âBabe, Iâm home!â You kick off your shoes near the front door. A hand massages your neck as you crave for a nice, hot bath to soothe your sore muscles; work has been a pain in the butt lately. Once the keys fall in the bowl, you realize how everything is eerily quiet. Thereâs no ruckus coming from the kitchen or a delicious smell greeting you by the entrance.
You raise a curious eyebrow and walk down the hallway. Each step grows more burdensome, the floor creaking under your tense weight. Turning the corner, you see your boyfriend sitting on the couch. Heâs hunched over as his fingers anxiously twiddle above his knees. Despite looking down, you notice the permanent scowl on his face and become worried, âKatsuki?â
âYouâre an hour late,â he grumbles, still not looking up.
âI got held up at the office,â you cautiously approach to the brutish man with a slight frown. The black bag settles on the coffee table, âThere was so much paperwork to get done before the deadline. I also needed to help out Shimizuââ
âCanât that dumbass ask someone else?!â Bakugou barks like a mad dog, his heated eyes glaring straight at you. They catch you off guard, âArenât there other extras at your damn agency who can help? Or do you love spending time with him, huh?â
You seethe, âWhat the hell is your problem, Katsuki? Heâs the new sidekick, and my boss assigned me to show him the ropes. Nothing is happening between us, so calm the fuck down!â
âLike I fucking believe that!â Bakugou shoots up from his spot, the ground shaking from his harsh stomps, âWhy does he keep calling you after work-hours? Why is he always so close to you while you two are out on patrol?â
âOh my gosh, this again?!â You exasperatedly throw your hands over your head. âAre we really gonna argue about this shit? Katsuki,â you march closer to him, pinching your nose for a quick second, âFor the millionth time: Nothing. Is. Happening. Between. Us! Why donât you believe me?!â
Bakugou scoffs, and a flash of irritation crosses your face, âWhat do you want me to do, huh, Katsuki? Do you want me to quit my jobââ Â
âFuck yeah I do!â He interrupts, making your mouth fall in astonishment. Did your ears hear those words correctly? His mouth starts running on its own, âAt least it will give me some peace of mind knowing youâre not screwing around with him behind my backââ
Bakugou freezes when a harsh slap strikes his cheek.
Tears well up in your mortified eyes. Itâs unclear whether they are like this because of his offensive words or the fact you laid a hand on him. Either way, you back away from the stunned pro hero. The hand that delivered the blow continues to shake uncontrollably; you bring it closer to your chest. Bakugou finally comes to his senses and blinks his pale eyes at you.
After the shock subsides, you furiously jab a finger at him, screeching, âHow dare you accuse me of doing something like that! How dare you accuse me of cheating on you when all I ever did was love you!â
âWait!â Bakugou stumbles over his feet, and you stagger backward, âShit, no. I-I didnât meanââ
âDonât!â The razor-sharp tone cuts through with as much strength as Kirishimaâs hardening quirk. Bakugou stops in his tracks. Your body quivers with tears raining down to your chin, âDonât apologizeâŚdonât come after meâŚweâre through.â
The last thing Bakugou hears is the front door loudly slam behind you; heâs sure everyone in Japan heard it. And the first thing he feels after youâre gone is his broken heart wallowing in pure agony.
Bakugou punches the cushion, muffling down a cry trying to escape his lips. Heâs living in a nightmare that never ends. The bitter breakup constantly replays in his mind, haunting his thoughts. It reminds him of how pathetic his life is right now. Every morning he notices the tear stains getting larger on his pillowcase, and every night, before going to bed, he feels the emptiness expanding on his right side.
His bed is now just cold, unwelcoming, and unnecessarily giantâhe hates it.
Bakugou rushes back to his room, randomly picking a pair of gray sweatpants and putting them on. The lampâs light barely helps him as he searches for his black sweater; it lounges on his chair, and the hero hurriedly pulls the hoodie over his head. The last thing he grabs is his keys and phone before exiting his apartment. After suffering in this hell hole for three weeks, heâs desperate for an escape. Â
Fortunately, the weather is tolerable for his late-night journey. However, he would trudge through anythingâheavy rain, typhoon-like winds, massive snowbanksâto get to you. In his mind and heart, Bakugou knows he needs to make things right with you. Sure, you two fight and argue, but it never goes too far except for that regrettable night; he crossed a line. You are the best thing in his life, and he foolishly let your relationship slip through his fingers like sand. Bakugou needs you, and for once, heâll push his bloated pride aside to beg for your forgiveness.
But first, he has the find you. It wonât be an easy feat considering you could be anywhere; he figures youâre staying at a friendâs apartment, and Bakugou accepts the fact it will be a long night. Pulling the dark hood over his head, he shoves his hands inside the pockets and treks down the bare streets to begin his journey. Â
The first two stops are a complete miss. One friend answers the door with droopy eyes and a roaring yawnâshe has no idea where you are. The second friend scratches his wild bed hair; heâs so tired that he accidentally calls Bakugou âShadow Dudeâ and shakes his head when asked if youâre staying in his apartment. Bakugou wonders if both your friends lied to him, but he gives them the benefit of the doubt and picks up the pace.
He arrives at the next apartment, praying that youâre here. Third timeâs the charm, right?
Climbing the never-ending stairs, he finally reaches the fourth floor. Bakugouâs eyes bounce until they land on the correct apartment number. With a deep sigh, he knocks on the door a couple of times, hoping itâs loud enough to wake up your friend; the hero stops after no one answers him. His forehead softly hits on the door, a muffled thud echoing around him. Just as Bakugou turns around, the door creaks, and a faint voice stops him in his tracks, âK-Katsuki?â
Wobbling by the door with confused eyes is you; Bakugouâs breath hitches as his stance falters. He wonders if youâre just a figment of his imagination that will disappear in a blink of an eye. When you donât, he slowly steps forward as if heâs walking on thin ice, putting the hood down. Your vision finally adjusts to the dim light shining in the hallway, and Bakugou whispers, âHeyâŚâ
âWhat are you doing here?â
âI couldnât sleepâŚâ
âThat makes two of us,â you mumble and lean against the doorframe. Despite this, your cold glare forces the hero to stay in place, âIâm still upset with you.â
âI know,â Bakugou lowers his head in shame. You glance at his bandaged hands, and your scowl softens at his lousy attempt to fix the wounds. Did he injure himself again? Bakugou rakes one hand through his messy hair, âWhat I said to you wasnât right; I know you would never betray my trust, but I let my stupid jealousy cloud my damn thoughts. Iâm a fucking idiot with a big ass mouth.â
You swallow a small gulp, âYeah, you are.â Â
Bakugou tests the water by taking another step. This time you donât say anything to stop him, and he takes it as a sign to get closer. Unconsciously, you cross your arms over your chest and gaze at your purple slippers shuffling on the cold tile floor. Your heart pounds like a jackhammer as the electricity buzzes impatiently in the thick air.
A dark shadow looms over your personal space. You hesitate to raise your head, but Bakugouâs warmth radiating off his body convinces you otherwise; he leaves only a slight gap between you two. Now that Bakugou is close, you notice the deep anguish whirling through his eyes; itâs like staring at your own reflectionâa shudder runs down your spine.
âIâm sorry,â he croaks, shutting his eyes for a moment. âIâm sorry for hurting you so much with my ignorant ass. You mean so much to me that I canât take another second sleeping in that bed alone. I fucking miss youâŚâ
Bakugouâs hands slide up your jittery arms, reawakening the spark that almost died inside you. He pleads like a desperate man, âPlease give me a second chanceâŚI love you too much to have you out of my life.â
Two arms instantly circle his neck, clinging onto him like no tomorrow. Your quiet sniffles reach his right ear, and Bakugou hugs you tighter in his warm embrace. Ghostly kisses pepper down your face until he captures your lips and pours his entire heart and soul into you. Delicate fingers run through his ashy hair and give it a soft tug as you smile against his lips, âI hate how much I love you, Blasty.â
A chuckle rumbles through his chest.
âNow câmon,â you pull him inside the apartment, guiding the hero to your room, âWe both need to catch up on our beauty sleep.â
Bakugou agrees with a soft grunt.
Climbing into bed together, you two finally fall soundly asleep in each otherâs arms for the first time since the breakup.
And thatâs the second prompt crossed off from this bingo card! Which once will be next? Stay tune!
Previous Prompt: Adopt a Pet
Thanks for reading!!

When You Wake
I literally cannot believe I wrote this. This was originally started to celebrate Yakuâs birthday (happy belated, my love), and to satisfy the requests for a Noya/Yaku threesome. Uh, donât come for me. I couldnât find inspiration in the normal hq world, so weâre making it weird. If yâall thought Between the Lines was long, this monstrosity is 13.2k words. 13,200 words, with a shameful, side amount that is smut. Literally, this is all just plot.
ear candy list is, surprisingly, on the smaller side.Â
⤠Revenga - System of A Down ⤠Violent Pornography - System of A Down ⤠Question! - System of A Down
pairing: Yaku/Reader/Noya
w a r n i n g s//TW: rape, murder, blood consumption, mentions of getting roofied, gore, blood from wounds, supernatural AU, revenge, temporarily mute reader, reader is converted to a vampire without consent, dubcon, death, spitroasting, dirty talk, senpai kink. PLEASE read through these warnings over and over until it is clear to you that this is not going to be an easy read. The reader literally goes on a revenge spree. ⤠THIS. IS NOT. AN EASY. READ.
Now that you have been thoroughly warned, enjoy.
The way media and films and television glorified and romanticized college parties never could have prepared you for the fateful encounter in the alleyway on a muggy August evening. Primarily, college parties were depicted as funâdrunk nights on the weekends with your girlfriends, maybe hook up with that cute boy from chemistry that somehow ended up with you grinding on him on the dance floor. Though, in some genres, college parties end up with the protagonist roofied and raped and follows how the heroine spirals and recovers. But it only was supposed to happen in the movies, right?
It wasnât supposed to end with you halfway to death, knocking on Hellâs door with blood pooling around your lifeless body in a barely lit, bleak alleyway. It wasnât supposed to end with warbles of light fading in and out of your vision as cars passed you by, unknowing there was someone in the alleyway between a closed down butcher shop and a florist who had already gone home for the evening. You were only in your early twenties with only two more years of university to competeâit wasnât supposed to end yet.
âWe canât just leave her here.â
âI think sheâs too far gone, Yaku. We were too late.â
The voices swirling around you were unfamiliar, or at least from what you could gather. In your condition, it was impossible to discern them in the first placeâwere they even real voices? They sounded entirely too angelic from what you could process in your catatonic state. Maybe they werenât; maybe death had taken you without your knowledge and the jury that decided whether or not your soul would ascend to heaven was passing their judgment on you.
âI can save her, Noya.â One of the voices, presumably this Yaku character snarls back with urgency. It is the last thing you hear before your limp body is pulled from the concrete. The movement, regardless of how delicate, causing more blood to rush from your open wounds and draining any ounce of consciousness from your mind. âYou mind trying to collect the fallout?â
Nishinoya, though shaking his head, gives a subtle grin that cannot be seen in the dead of the night. He pulls out a large mason jar from the satchel heâs carrying and places the mouth of the jar where blood is pouring out profusely from a knife wound. The man collecting the blood knew entirely too well that once his mate sets his mind to something, there was no changing it. Not that it served as a recurring issue; if anything, Noya was grateful for Yakuâs stubbornness considering it was that exact trait of his that had given the former his second chance at life.
The two of them move swiftly, trying to make it back to their hidden mansion, that was quite a distance away, in secret. Yaku is doing all that he can to make sure not to disturb your body so as not to open any wounds further that could force you to bleed out and meet the grim reaper. He wasnât a very pleasant creature, but that was a story for another day. At the same time, Nishinoya is almost fighting to keep the same steadfast pace while simultaneously holding the now half full mason jar just under the knife wound. The blood was beginning to thicken, turning from bright red to a deep crimson as it oxidizes.
The moment they enter their private garden, Nishinoya busts down the door to their home with expertise, alerting the other members of their clan. âAkaashi!â He screeches, his voice bellowing out in decibels that should not be used unless trying to project a voice in an amphitheater with no microphone. Thank omniscient beings for noise cancelling enchantments. âWe need you!â An almost timid, young looking man enters the foyer where Noya is still collecting blood and Yaku is holding your limp body in his arms.
âSo thatâs where you two have been,â Akaashi deadpans, unfazed by the steadily decaying girl. âBring her to my room. You can store what blood youâve gathered there while I remove the knife and get her patched up.â Though calm, the three of them move at breakneck speeds, laying you face down on an operating table while Akaashi suits up. From what he can tell, this was going to be a real mess, considering how deep the knife is. The three of them knew what was to come and what their designated roles in this moment wereâNishinoya was to separate the blood he had gathered from your body and ration them into IV bags, while Yaku was provide suction in case of a bleed out.
âWe can save her, canât we?â Yaku asks quietly, tools in hand.
âThat will depend on her will to fight,â Akaashi says quietly, half due to concentration, half because he genuinely does not have a valid answer. âYouâve done this time and time again, Yaku. If anyone is going to save her, itâs going to be you.â
Upon coming to, the only muscles in your body that can move are your eyelids. Peeling them back as much as you can muster, you notice the only light filtering into whatever room you are currently residing in is coming from the blaring moonlight through an open window. The shadows around you make up areas and shapes that you are entirely unfamiliar with, causing you to sit up impulsively to make sense of your surroundings. A mistake on your part, as you are immediately met with a searing pain in your ribs. With further inspection from your droopy eyes, you learn that your torso is entirely bare, save for the copious amounts of medical grade bandages and gauze around your breasts and stomach. Blood pooled somewhere along your left shoulder blade where the pain felt the worst.
âYou shouldnât try to sit up right now.â The same voice you faintly remember from the alley, the one that didnât want to leave you, before blacking out calls out from across the bedroom. The room is quite large from what you could tell and his smooth voice seems to be leagues away. âLay back down before you bleed out againâIâll change your bandages.â From the shadows, a man whom you presume to be Yaku emerges before you, perfect pale skin and sandy brown locks nearly reflecting in the moonlight as he approaches. His face, while incredibly handsome, is blank and is strictly business as he saunters near. Even as he is gingerly tearing off the tight bindings around you with next to no effort, his face remains nonplussed. Even as he washes the dried, crusty blackened blood off your bare chest, nothing. âDo you remember anything?â Yakuâs voice is quiet and somber as he asks his question. He takes your silence as a no.
Your mind is a hazy smog, trying to recall any type of memory at all. Rather than actual imagery, you see a white light when you close your eyesâyou see colors you donât remember seeing before, you hear crying. You hear your name. Not just your first name or a nickname either, you hear your entire given name along with your birthday, even the time of birth.
Any attempt to recall memories is interrupted by a sharp pain. You suck in a breath as Yaku tries to lift your arm to wrap the fresh bandages around your torso, causing him to grimace ever so slightly. This task was a bit easier for him when you were still unconscious, but nonetheless he is glad youâre awake. When the pain subsides, you peel your eyelids back once again, staring at the man sitting at the edge of the bed in wonder. Why was he tending to your wounds? How did he fit into the story? âYou neednât worry about that right now, [name],â he murmurs quietly, reintroducing the same delicate tone you heard before blacking out in the alley. Yaku can tell youâre wondering how he knew what to respond with and how he knew your name but, after a small deliberation, he decides itâs best not to overwhelm you right now. âGet some rest, little one,â he speaks again, âIâll be here when you wake.â Before you know it, youâre out like a light once again.
Yaku exits his and Noyaâs shared bedroom to dispose of the sullied bandages, only to be greeted to the sight of his mate leaning against the bannister closest to their room. âHowâs she doing?â Yakuâs lips tighten, the seam becoming a hard line as his grimace deepens.
âShe doesnât remember anything but when I asked her if she did...â
âWhat?â Noya presses, perturbed at the silence. Very few things in their lives rendered Yaku speechless.
âShe started seeing memories of her birth.â The two shorter leaders of the clan meander their way down the grandiose staircase in silence, each step accompanied by the dramatic chimes of a grand piano coming from the foyer. The music stops when they reach the bottom of the staircase, Sugawara pausing his fingers and quirking a brow at the couple. It was a rare occurrence to see both of them, or Nishinoya in the very least, look so morose.
âWhatâs got you guys looking so down? You look like someone just died.â The musician muses. Sugawara Koushi always did have the most twisted sense of humorâthat was partially the reason that Yaku had kept him around. The other primary reason was solely for bragging rights and an inside joke between the clan because no matter how many times Sugawara introduced himself as Beethoven or Bach, people assumed that they all just meant he was talented. Not that it was literal and Sugawara was just a name heâd adopted when he earned another century of life.
âHa ha,â Nishinoya drawls satirically, for both himself and for Yaku. The latter excuses himself, parting ways because he knows he canât handle conversation right now. âCome on, Suga, thatâs not funny. Yakuâs already taking this really hard and if we lose her...â
âHumans die all the time, Nishi. A conversion isnât a guaranteed shot at a second life and Yaku knows that so why is heââ
âBecause she was found just like I was. Wrong place at the wrong time and it ended with...â the shorter of the two can no longer find the words to speak. It didnât matter how many centuries old everyone in the clan was, it didnât matter that they had watched plagues take countless lives or even bared witness to some of Jack the Ripperâs victimsâit was a different monster entirely to genuinely watch a person become prey to another human. âI hope she makes it through, if only to rip out the guys throat that stabbed her.â
Three months had passed since you had first woken up. Strength is returning to you little by little, though not enough for you to hold consciousness for more than a few minutes a day. Regardless, Yaku is relieved to see you making some form of progress, to see that youâre somewhat handling the conversion well. The head of the clan was almost always present when you did awake, though there were instances in which his partner, Nishinoya, had been the one to greet you.
Nishinoya was much more boisterous than his other halfâmuch more talkative and, considering you havenât found the strength to speak quite yet, that was entirely okay with you. You learned that Yaku and Nishinoya had been together a very long time and Yaku had saved his life ages ago, as the latter phrased it. In admiration, Noya mentions his partnerâs abundance of patienceâa skill that he himself lackedâand determination to see justice being served had swayed the younger of the two to continuously stand alongside him. Through these little vignettes of their life, however, Noya makes it a point to acknowledge the fact that he was once almost too overbearing for his senior, often intimidating him with just how open and blunt he was. âNishi, are you boring her with details of our mundane life?â Yaku asks bemusedly as he enters the room youâd been resting in.
âHey, we arenât boring. Iâm not boring you, am I?â Noya looks to your face, your expression not giving much away save for the light in your barely live eyes. It was far from mundaneâif anything, hearing the stories made you so curious considering from just barely glancing with the two, they seemed to be a strange couple.
âWe are,â Yaku confirms, though as to what, you arenât sure. You were certain you hadnât said anything aloud, considering you practically canât. âLetâs just say I can hear your thoughts. Itâs how weâve been communicating with you.â The head of clan saunters over casually, sitting at the edge of the mattress opposite to his partner. Both of their rich, golden irises are gazing at you, gauging a reaction from you as he shares this bit of information. Weird, was the only way for you to describe it. Though Yaku didnât need to read your mind to know that; the slightly panicked look on your face gave away your thoughts.
âDonât think we donât know about those vivid wet dreams you have of usââ
âYĹŤ, you werenât supposed to tell her that!â
âWhat? Weâre all adults hereââ
âNishi, get out,â Yaku covers his face in utter horror, even more so as his partner exits the room laughing as he does so. Shameless Noya. The door closes, leaving you and Yaku aloneâwere he able to go red out of embarrassment, he probably would have. âI-I am so sorry about him.â Testing out the information that the man beside you supplied moments ago, you reassure him that itâs fineâthat you have no control over your dreams and that he probably doesnât have a way to turn off this strange ability. For a moment, heâs relieved because you seem to be accepting everything with grace thus far; maybe telling you the truth wasnât going to be the worst case scenario.
But the thought of the truth makes Yaku hesitateâthere was no way you were ready to handle the entirety of the truth. At the moment, you could barely handle your weekly check-ups with Akaashiâthe household doctor. After a formal introduction, you learned that Akaashi was the one who patched up your wounds when you were first brought to the little mansion. From what you gathered, he was quiet and direct, kind even, but you hated the weekly visits. Not only was Yaku carrying you rather painful, as youâre still recovering from your injuries, but Akaashi had to do regular blood transfusions because, according to the young doctor that you swore could not have already completed medical school and residency, you had lost a lot of blood during the incident.
An incident in which you still canât recall.
âItâll come to you,â Yaku says morosely, probably responding in accordance to your thought. The man beside you gets up from the bed, holding his arms open to you, silently asking for permission to pick you up. âSorry, Iâll try to be more gentle.â His arms are cold as he lifts you up, but all you can focus on is the throbbing in your back as he moves you. A sharp intake of breath leaves your lungs as Yaku supports you physically, adding gentle words of encouragement because he can almost feel how much pain youâre in. Every step down the steep staircase adds another metaphorical bruise to your tender skin, a small groan leaving your throat each time. And while youâre not uncomfortable with the idea of being in Yakuâs arms, youâre grateful when youâre laid down in Akaashiâs office along the leather exam seat.
âHow are you feeling today, [name]?â The young doctor asks as he preps you for your blood transfusion. Much to your surprise, you feel hungryâravenous, evenâlike you hadnât eaten a meal in months. Maybe you hadnât; it wouldnât be that ridiculous to consider since your memory was a little shoddy.
âYouâll feel better after the transfusion,â Yaku reassures from the chair heâs sitting in beside the exam bed, âweâll get some food in your system before we start your physical therapy.â Thereâs an interesting intonation in the way he speaks this, you notice. Like thereâs an underlying joke or hidden agenda that you donât quite understand, but at the same time, the strange phrasing doesnât trigger your fight-or-flight system in any capacity. If anything, it just seems that Yaku wants to help you regain strength as best you can.
Though, that was currently proving to be a challenge as well. While you werenât entirely sure how long ago your injuries occurred, you knew a decent amount of time had to have passed. One of your first check-up appointments with Akaashi led to the explanation of the muscle atrophy in your legs from lack of use. Once you slowly became acclimated to being awake for more than just a few minutes a day, Daichi was introduced to you as your physical therapist. He was another enigmaâentirely too young to be as experienced as he was in his field, but you decided against questioning itâtemporarily mute or not.
Being mute was another issue that was taking much longer than you liked. You hated only being able to communicate through Yakuâs inexplicable talent of being able to read your mind. There were many occasions in which you wanted to ask Akaashi about your condition and how bad of a state you had been brought to him in; how you wanted to ask Sugawara how heâd learned to play such a vast variety of melodies so expertly; how you wanted to tell Nishinoya that every time he tried to feed you a soup or something, it tasted foul and metallic no matter how fresh it was.
Youâd have to wait until you found your voice again.
After your check-in with Akaashi, Yaku brings you to Daichiâs office just down the hallway. âHey, thereâs our little fighter.â Daichi was probably the kindest out of everyone in the household. He had a warmth to him that seemed to contrast his icy fingers when heâd hold and guide you for your therapy sessionsâa little uncanny that everyone in this mansion had freezing finger tips. Maybe everyone had poor blood circulation?
From the opposite end of the room, Yaku stifles a laugh by biting his cheek. Glad to know that your deconstructed concept of time hadnât waned on your sense of humor. Meanwhile, Daichi lays you gingerly on a mat on the ground with you back flat as he wraps a resistance band around one of his ankles, as well as your own. âAlright, [name], Iâm gonna help you get your leg up and I want to see you pull your leg up as high as you can go, understood?â Five didnât seem like a very large number, but for now it was the goal. If you could at least lift your legs five times, it was progress considering the severe muscle atrophy in your legs.
Some days, it was difficult for Yaku to sit with you through therapy. He can see the way you wince in pain because youâre trying to relearn and rebuild your muscle groups; other times he just wanted someone, anyone, to blurt out the truth about the situation and hope that it inspires you to push yourself to heal. Some days, it was difficult because Yaku found himself just wanting to hold you in his bed that youâd taken over while the two of you plot out the revenge you didnât even know you needed. But it wasnât always bad. There were days, like today, where the progress on your therapy was going much better than anyone in the clan anticipated. There were days where Yaku would ask what you remembered about...anything, and you would have some form of answer for him.
On those days, Yaku began to realize that your memories were coming in chronological order. From the first time you sat up or crawled, to your first word even. In fact, Yakuâs favorite moment that heâs witnessed thus far was watching your father teach you to take your very first stepsâit seemed to recur during your therapy sessions, as if subconsciously encouraging you to try to walk again. Maybe thatâs why today, you were able to provide Daichi with double the repetitions that he asked forâa sure sign that strength and muscle were returning to your legs. But even with what progress youâve made so far, Yaku makes it a point to carry you back to your room and lay you back in bed to rest. As always, Yaku tucked you in as he spoke, âget some sleep, little one. Iâll be here when you wake,â
For weeks on end, dreams stop becoming dreams. Per usual, Yaku awaits in the corner opposite of the bed where you rest, allowing your memories-turned-dreams to flood his mind. Each night, theyâre progressively becoming more and more clearâyouâre able to recall outfits that youâd worn twenty years ago with perfect detail, scars and scrapes that your friends had, even when that one sock was in the corner of your closet from when you were seven. But the clearer these chronological dreams became, the less frequently you were waking up and it was beginning to worry the head of the clan. While you were still obtaining your weekly blood transfusions to help sustain your life, it seemed to be that they were no longer providing you with enough energy to move past your current stage of recovery. âYaku, she needs to start feeding,â Akaashi had instructed him during a consultation.
âI still havenât told herââ
âCome on, man, itâs been almost eight months,â the house doctor groans. There was no reason to coddle you anymore as your life-threatening wounds had already healed for the most part. Sure, there was still discomfort from your broken ribs but even those had almost entirely healed over; your physical therapy sessions and rehabilitation with Daichi were going rather well but, at this point, if you didnât start getting more substance in your body, this would be the end of the line for you. Akaashi had advised him this for weeks now, but Yaku still hesitated. âWeâve got to tell her.â
âI know, I know. I justââ the sandy brunette ruffles his claws through his mussed locks in frustration, âI think her power is developing. And Iâm afraid if we drop the bomb on her now, itâs going to halt or hinder that progress.â
âEither tell her or feed her,â Akaashi bites, âif you donât, sheâs not going to have any power because sheâs going to starve to death.â With that, Akaashi walks away because he has nothing left to argue at this point. While he may be the youngest of the brood, this made Akaashi the most volatile of the group. More often than not, he was relatively kind and patient, timid even, as he was in his human life, but also very stern and strictâall of it coming from a place of love. And Yaku, knowing the tremendous amounts of emotional pain that the former had received, the leader of the clan dare not disrespect him.
Rather than making it an argument, Yaku roams around the lodge to grab a couple bags of O negative out of storage before heading back to his room. Much to his surprise, Nishinoya is sitting at the edge of the bed already, a slight look of panic washing over his features. âYaku, I think something is wrong.â Without another word, the creature in question hands the bags of blood to his mate before resting his forehead against yoursâa sure fire way to make sure that the mental images he picked up from you were pristine and uninterrupted as you dreamedâignoring the cold sweat beading on your forehead.
You were at the Pike house. It was the first week of the new college semester and your roommates had convinced you to tag along to a frat party they were invited to. The night was going along exactly like a corny romantic comedyâyou had locked eyes with a man from across the dance floor. He was sweetâmuch kinder than others you had met that night. He grabbed you drink after drink, but your memory begins to go fuzzy after that despite being able to recall memories of your own birth or the stupid girl that picked on you when you were twelve and even the small pimple on her temple that you figured was probably making her insecure. So if you were able to recall these memories, dreams, whatever they were, with such perfect clarity, why could you not remember leaving that party? Did that mean he had been drugging your drinks? It was entirely possible, considering Pike wasnât exactly known for their hospitality. You vaguely remember the man holding your hand firmly as the two of you weave and bob around people and being met with the sweltering humidity of a muggy August night and your roommates, Yukie and Kaori, were nowhere to be found.
You were dragged into a dimly lit alleyway, stumbling with every step that the man had nearly carried you by your wrist alone, reeking of trash that had been long overdue for pick up and maybe even rotting carcasses. It was difficult to tell considering the drugs you assume that had been placed in your system and it was even more difficult to recall the memories. Bits and pieces of your memory were coming back in patchesâthough the face of the man that had brought you there was not one of them. Nor were any of his friends that had joined in, appearing at the opening of the alleyway. You remember the sound of tearing fabric, salacious laughter of the group of men surrounding your body. You remember feeling searing pain as one held a knife to your throat, warning you that he would slit your throat if you tried to scream.
The threat was replaced in the form of one of the frat boys ramming a half-hard cock down your throat, knife still in place along the jugular vein, while every orifice and inch of your skin had been violated. Vaguely, you remember trying to bite down on the cock in your mouth and run away. The one that threatened to kill you had missed your throat when you ran and threw the knife into your back instead. Foul screeches of demeaning slander left their mouths as they kicked your ribs in at full force, as if the knife deep in your back wasnât bad enough.
You remember them leaving your bare, naked body in the alley for death to take you.
You remember their faces.
Awakening with a start, you sit up abruptly, only to fall back into the pillow with a resonant clacking noise followed by a dull throb to your forehead. Yaku recoils, mostly out of shock rather than painâmaybe laying his head on yours wasnât his finest moment. âYou remember,â he balks after heâs recovered from the impact. Youâre trying to scream, no sound leaving your lungs while tears barreled out from your eyes. Remember? Why was that a memory? Why did it have to be a memory?
Nishinoya acts hastily, tearing open one of the O negative packs and draining half the contents into his mouth and holding it there as he shoves Yaku out of the way. The smaller of the two slats his lips over your silently screaming mouth, puncturing a small wound to the inside of your lip with his teeth and letting the blood trickle in the hole. It feels like pudding trying to push through a sieve, the flavor of copper and iron tampered out by an earthy, meat flavorâmaybe venison? The desire to scream fades away as well, rather being over taken to have whatever nourishment Noya is giving you to enter you more and more. Out of necessity, you mold your lips over his, sucking hard on his lip while wrapping your arms around him because it just didnât seem that he could get close enough in this moment. Despite the fingers you have threaded in Nishinoyaâs gelled locks, he pulls away with a shit-eating grin, his tongue swiping away at the trail of red liquid dripping from the seam of his lips. âCareful, might make a guy a fall in love with that kinda kiss.â
âM-more,â you croak out, deflecting the younger oneâs flirty comment all together. Yaku and Noyaâs eyes go wide upon hearing your voice for the first time. The former acts on instinct, downing the remaining contents of the bag in his partnerâs hand before reenacting the same gesture as the latter. Yakuâs lips are much softer than his partnersâor maybe itâs the quelling of whatever hunger that hadnât been satiated that eased the desire. With Yaku, his tongue laves against the wound that Noya had made, coaxing the fluid to enter at a much more steadfast, intimate pace. Even well after he was done feeding you, Yaku sucked on your tongue, encouraging you to reciprocate, so as to get every drop. âW-What was t-that?â You pant out brokenly as soon as the two of you break apart. The question startles the two sitting at the edge of the bedânow that you had your voice somewhat back, Yaku no longer needed to communicate for you. That also meant he couldnât control the flow of responses to not overwhelm you.
âI think itâs time you finally got your answers,â Noya mumbles, treading carefully as he looks at his partner. It was a silent reassurance that, no matter how this scenario proceeded, he would be here to support Yaku. To make you more comfortable, he adjusts the pillows behind you so that your back can rest properly along the headboard.
âM-my d-d-dreams?â Having just rediscovered your voice, it still came out in sharp, staccato-like whimpers, but the boys werenât going to discourage you from speaking. Much like everything else Yaku had done in his life, he had done with patience and your recovery and rehabilitation were no different. But your throat was still raw and it still hurt to speakâthankfully with your mind rushing like a bullet train, Yaku was able to grasp the entirety of your question.
âI think theyâre more memories than dreams.â His words come out like a condemning nail in a coffinâlike a doctor telling you you only have a few months left to liveâbecause that means everything you recalled from Pike house, the drinks, the party, the alley, all of it was real. âNoya and I found you that night barely clinging to life. Naked, soaked in blood and semen. You died that night, [name].â As he speaks, his cold finger tips traced along your breast until you feel the throbbing mound of fleshâa scar of where the knife had been thrown into you from the back and exited out the front. âThe knife had gone through your aorta. Akaashi spent a long time trying to repair it but was unable to.â
Your body begins to tremble as silent sobs wrack through your body. You died? âS-so how âmi h-here?â Yaku looks over at Noya in discernible worryânot because the head was afraid of telling the truth, no. He was afraid how you would react to the truth. His partner looks at him poignantly, mentally reminding him that this was eerily similar to how Noya had reacted when he had learned the truth as well. Yakuâs head bobs in agreement, swallowing his hesitance before speaking again.
âI made you like me. Like the rest of us.â Your brows furrowed in confusion, suspicion even, because thereâs no way that heâs saying what you think heâs saying. But rather than offering a verbal response, Yaku holds his hand out towards Noya, in which he places the other bag of O Negative in his palm. While the original plan was to just feed you once again, the second Yaku tears open the bag, the hunger you thought had eased returned at full force. You rip the bag out of his cold hands, elongated claws scratched at you as you do so, before you down the contents like a shotgunned beer before you could realize what you were doing.
âT-This is a joke, right?â You balk, voice clear as day due to the strength returning to your body once again from freshly consumed sustenance. But the tensions have gone down significantly, to the point where Noya feels relief and excuses himself to feed, leaving you in Yakuâs solitary care. Once the two of you are left alone, Yaku can only shake his head as he continues to press on with the truth. This had to be a cruel, sick joke. But it wasnât funny and you certainly werenât laughing. Yet Yaku had no reason to lie to you and the snack you had just consumed moments ago was meant to serve as a final nail in the metaphorical coffin to make you understand that he was telling the truth.
âWe have been alive for centuriesâstorytellers dubbing our kind as vampiresâbut originally, we were simply called the Damned.â Yaku proceeds to go through the history, much like he had with all the others before you, because he feels the need to share the truth, needs to tell you that your death isnât the end of your life but rather the beginning like it had for all those in clan. The most recent addition to the family was Akaashi. He was less than a century old, compared to the others. Akaashi had been tied to a tree and shot repeatedly, only to watch his lover drown to death, who had been tossed into the ocean before shortly before with a thirty pound weight attached to his ankle with his last few breaths. Yaku and Sugawara were the ones to set his nearly lifeless body free with the head of the clan performing Akashiâs conversion. This lead to the newborn to coming back to slaughter the community that decided to his partner needed to die for being a man in love.
Each of their stories was nearly identical. Sugawara, who apparently has been every major known classical musician in history hiding under the guise of his shapeshifter ability, and Daichi were hanged together for being a homosexual couple after their village had carved unsavory words on their bodies to remind their reincarnations of their sins. Yaku and Noya had saved each of them respectively, and allowed the two of them to go on a rampage to annihilate their executioners.
Lastly, or rather firstly, was Nishinoya himself. As Yaku goes into detail about transforming his partner, he tears up ever so slightly. And as you listen actively with no interruptions, no questions even, as he tells you about how Nishi was wrongly imprisoned for theft and how the other prisoners constantly violated and sodomized his body because he was smaller than the rest; how he ended his own life by ingesting whatever toxic chemicals he could find and how Yaku broke him out of prison to start a new life together. âSpeak of the devil and he shall appear,â the aforementioned prisoner re-enters the room, a fragile smile on his thin lips as he takes a seat beside his partner. âSo you finally told her?â
âB-but why m-me? Why not just let me die?â
âDo you not want revenge against the assholes that killed you a year ago, [ name ]?â Noya bit before Yaku could jump in. âTheyâre still alive after what they did to youâhow is that fair?!â
A year?
You had died a year ago. How did your family take the news? Your roommates and best friends? Nishi was rightâit wasnât fair at all. Yaku raises a hand towards his partner in attempts to get him to calm down before he got too riled up about the situation and before he could get out the most important question. âI have to know, [ name ], if you want to continue on with this lifestyle or not before we proceed with the real rehabilitation.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â You tilt your head to your newfound savior. He said it so nonchalantly, as if learning how to walk or learning that your diet was blood wasnât rehabilitation.
âWell, we have to teach you how to feed properly so your strength gets back upâunless you just want us to feed you for the rest of your eternal life.â Noya jokes, waggling his eyebrows suggestively in what youâve come to understand is his typical, joking demeanor.
âI mean, I wouldnât complain.â
âNoya, can you maybe save the flirting for later?â Yaku grits outâonce again slightly mortified. It brings laughter to the man in question; it was like rewatching his own life all over again, seeing him get flustered at the smallest amounts of forward affection. It was endearing, if anything.
âSure. Letâs get [ name ] healthy first then.â
After coming to terms with your transformation and feeding more regularly, still off of a supply stock that the mansion carried, you were able to attend therapy sessions with Daichi more frequently. And while you hadnât entirely regained muscle or use of your legs, you were able to at least stay awake more often than not. Rather than being cooped up in the bedroom, you found yourself lounging near the entryway where Sugawara would entertain you with the countless pieces he had written over the years. It was soothing and peaceful and Sugawaraâs jovial personality kept you from spiraling into a deeper hole knowing that you died. It was still an insane concept, but the five men in your new home had worked hard to keep you sane. âReady for your session?â Yaku asks gently as he takes a seat beside you on the luxurious sofa. Heâs not as uptight as he was now that you knew the truth, though he still did get flustered when you would openly show affection. Even if it was something as simple as leaning your head on his shoulder like you were now.
âI think so,â doing what you could, you scooted and clambered onto Yakuâs lap, wrapping your arms around his neck firmly while your weakened lower limbs splayed across his lap. He tucks one arm under your knees while the other supports your back, effectively scooping you up and brings you to the kitchen where the blood stock is kept. You quirk a brow at the creature carrying you, knowing youâve already had at least three bags since you woke up.
âGotta get your strength up so you can recover faster,â is all he responds with before he sets you down on a bar stool. Yaku tears open the bag of O Negative and, much to your shock, he drinks half the contents without swallowing before his lips are on yours. One of his fangs finds purchase on the inside of your lip, sinking down and creating an opening for the blood to flow in for quicker delivery. Usually, Yaku would only have to feed you like this when you were in a weaker state, so it felt a bit out of place for him to be doing it right now, but it certainly wasnât unwelcome. While the blood trickles into the wound, Yakuâs tongue swirls with yours intimately, coating the cavern with the liquid and he doesnât stop until every ounce is clear from both of your mouths.
âNot complaining,â you say slowly, âbut is there a particular reason you wanted to feed me instead of just letting my chug the bag?â As you ask your question, Yaku is draining the rest of the contents of the bag into his mouth before pulling you towards him in another kiss. The question is repeating over and over in your head, he can hear it loud and clear, but the other thoughts are spurring him on further. The thoughts of how Yakuâs touch makes you crave more, makes you want to feel his lips along your skin and his large hands gripping your thighs tightly. Sometimes heâs unsure whether or not you conveniently forget that he can read your mind, sometimes he wonders if you let your salacious thoughts run wild on purpose. His chest is heaving, deep intakes of breath are plunging through his nostrils despite the blood being long gone. He doesnât want to stop but centuries of control are begging him to.
âWeâre going somewhere today, after your PT,â Yaku pants out after he pulls away, tilting his head down because he canât look at you right nowâheâs afraid to. He needs to try to dampen whatever feral thoughts are running through your brain so that his own self-control doesnât just get tossed out the window. âNoya and I are taking you out for your first hunt.â
âUh, am I ready for that?â Shit, you canât even walk in your own yet. Yaku laughs, grateful for the reprieve from your sexually charged thoughts when you point out the setback.
âThatâs why the extra feeding tonight. I needed to make sure it was in your bloodstream so that you had enough strength for PT and the hunt,â Yaku adjusts you from barstool, scooping you into his arms once again to bring you to the mansionâs back garden. Daichi is standing a short distance away adorning a tight muscle tee and joggers, while Noya and Akaashi are sitting at the small table with cigars in hand. Yaku steadies you in front of Daichi, the latter holding onto your hands to make sure you donât fall, before the former joins the rest the clan at the table. Sugawara emerges from inside the mansion as well, passing off a cigar to Yaku while lighting his own. It was uncomfortable in some capacity to have everybody watchingâyou couldnât help but feel as if you were being critiqued on your performance.
âIâm going to be one step ahead of you, and I wonât let go, okay?â Daichi holds his arms out to give you space to take your first step. You take in a sharp breath, the scent of scent of cigars and pine trees overwhelming your nasal cavity. When did you sense of smell become that strong? With trembling limbs, you cling onto Daichiâs muscular forearms, praying to god you didnât fall as you took a step forward.
âHey, look!â Noya cheers from a distance, nudging Yaku in the stomach. âShe took a step!â The excitement in his voice was evident because, after months of constant aid, Noya has come to have a soft spot for you almost as much as Yaku does. The two of them are watching, utterly enthralled with the way youâre only moving mere millimetersâbut millimeters is better than nothing considering the muscle decay and atrophy that had taken place over the last year.
After the first few steps and curling your toes in blades of grass, your feet begin to relax as you tremble forward. Gripping Daichi with all the strength in your hands, you pick your right foot off the ground and place it forward. âThatâs good, [ name ]! Gimme one more,â Daichi, a therapist in more ways than one, encourages you to continue moving, wanting to make sure both legs were receiving equal treatment. You repeat the motion with your left leg, taking two full steps. While not perfect, you kept moving forward with his guidance until his calves hit the stone wall of the garden fountain. Considering where you started, twenty five feet was a tremendous distance to cover. âYou did amazing, [ name ].â The vampire holding onto you smiles big, pride swelling in chest like a father praising his daughter for taking first in a beauty pageant.
Yaku and Noya are by your side immediately in celebration, the latter much more overt with it as heâs hugging you and holding you up. âWhat do you think, Daichi? Is she strong enough to at least witness a hunt?â The former asks. Mentioning the âHâ word again perks your ears up because a part of you almost wishes to not have to engage with whatever a hunt entails, but part of you also knows that this is your life now. Everything you thought you knew was no longer validâthis was your rebirth, your awakening.
âI think sheâll be okay if one of you carries her for itââ
âOoh, Iâll do it!â Noya cheers almost too loudly in your ear as heâs still holding you. Without so much as a chance to offer a rebuttal, youâre swept up into his arms as he stands at full height before glancing at his mate. âReady to go?â Yaku gives a nod, gripping tightly at the satchel over his shoulder before the three of you are off at breakneck speeds. Theyâre silent as they travelâperhaps because were they to open their mouths at this speed and velocity, they would be catching a whole lot of bugs in their mouths. To your surprise, the three of you end up outside ten-foot-tall brick walls and a chain link fence.
âThis is a...â
âA prison,â Yaku answers simply, as if he were answering with what his favorite color was rather than his favorite meal, âconsidering our diet, we choose to collect our sustenance from those who do not deserve redemption.â Thereâs a malignant, dark twist in the headmanâs words.
âPersonally, I prefer going after the rapists and child molestors. Those bastards deserve to be drained of every ounce of blood.â Noya snarlsâyou could tell it was personal for him. But how could he tell? Surely it wasnât just written on placards outside of prison cells.
âEasy. Walk in, ask them what theyâre serving time for, and their minds fill in the blanks.â The foreboding you sensed from Yaku deepened even further; deepened to the point where it felt like a magnet drawing your eyes towards your savior. But he looked anything but. Yaku stood merely a few inches taller, his claws sharpening and turning black while red overtook the once golden hues of his irises. You look up at Noya curiously, wondering if heâll undergo the same sort of transformation, but before you could even question it, the gold in his own eyes had already molded into crimson rings.
The three of you enter the building with ease, aiming for the top floor because, according to Nishi, that was where they kept the worst criminals. It played out exactly as Yaku said it wouldâask them what they were imprisoned for and, if they were in captivity under the basis of rape, first or second degree murder, sexual assault, or anything involving a minor, he would sink his fangs into their jugular vein and drain them dry. Though he announces his satisfaction, he remains in this strange form that he has presented you with as Nishinoya passes you off into his arms.
The smaller of the two repeats the same process, taking down two prisoners of his own before taking the satchel off of his partnerâs shoulder. Noya continues questioning prisoners, letting Yakuâs power of mind reading acting as the judgment call, before pulling out a small, sharp knife from the satchel and slitting each victimâs throat while holding them downcast like a gavel banging down the rule. As blood fountains from their necks, Nishinoya holds fresh IV bags over the openings to collect whatever comes out like rain. Was this how they ended up getting blood for you to feed over the past year. âYes,â Yaku answers evenly, looking down at you with his crimson eyes, âbut we were hoping to actually teach you how to feed tonight. Are you up for it?â Every nerve in your body seemed to scream no, like you shouldnât be witnessing these events let alone doing it.
But your guts are telling you yes, yes this is now your way of survival. These men were horrid, their victims needed justice. You needed justice. Giving Yaku a small nod, he gives you instructions while the three of you search for your very first meal. Considering neither your fangs nor claws had grown in, as you were very much still a baby by all intents and purposes, Noya would have to incapacitate your prey for you while you bit the inside of your lip, reopening the same puncture wounds from earlier, to allow easier access for the nutrients to enter your body. Once they were out, Noya would puncture the jugular vein for you, while Yaku dipped you down far enough to feed.
Your lips latched on to the raw skin, hooking your own canines for leverage as you draw the blood from your dinner and the moment the warmth seeped into the opening, all doubts about what you were doing had flown out the window. You adjusted the way youâre sitting on your victim, your hands finding purchase on his shoulders as you continuously sucked every drop of life from him. âDid she justââ Noya questions, not missing the fact that you had just moved your atrophied legs. And while Yaku is very aware of his mateâs balking, he can only focus on the way your lips mold against your mealâs neck or the muted slurping noises bubbling from your lungs like a woman starved. In a sense, that was quite literal. Noya looks over at his partnerâsilence wasnât typical of Yaku when asked a questionâbut words are lost on him when he sees the way Yakuâs eyes are hungrily staring at your form and heâs unsure if its due to hunger or hunger. The moan that leaves your tongue when you finally pull away from the now empty body confirms the shorter oneâs suspicions. âNot that seeing you turned on doesnât turn me on, but you might wanna put that away, Morisuke.â Noya teases before walking towards you, the call of his given name causing Yaku to snap out of his stupor. Well fuck, he snarls bitterly in his head. He was gonna have to feed again, considering all the blood he had just consumed went straight to his cock.
You feel aliveâmore alive than you felt in ages. And despite your attempt being incredibly shaky, you managed to stand on your own two feet, using the wall to brace yourself. Noya rushes over to your side to try to hold you steady, asking if youâre alright. âIâm more than alright, Nishi, holy shit.â He has an arm under you, carefully bringing you back towards Yaku, though for the most part, youâre walking entirely on your own.
âSo what, have you guys just been giving me snacks this whole time?â You sneer teasingly, though Yaku looks away because your accusation because it isnât entirely wrong. The blood packs were indeed âsnacksâ but were usually only used to stave off hunts, that way they didnât just decimate the prison on an every other day basis, but were also used as post coitus replenishments.
âOne more?â Yaku coughs out, as if choking on his own spit. âWe can do this one together, if you like.â Heâs trying to be polite, despite the feral look in his eyes while also trying to calm down the lust and adrenaline running rampant in his system.
âYeah, thatâd be nice.â As opposed to carrying you this time, Yaku flanks to your empty side, helping you walk between him and Noya until you came upon your next victim. This one was larger than the last fewâstocky and skin marred with stories of a brutal past. No matter which way you looked at him, he looked bitter, and after asking him what he was in for, you figure he was a perfect candidate. After all, intentionally murdering his wife and three children was heinous by definition. Yaku approaches the much taller man, crouching ever so slightly in the event your meal tried to escape; not that he could even if he wanted to. The leader of the Damned was behind him in seconds, snapping his neck to disarm the threat that was his build.
To everyoneâs surprise, you made your way over slowly to the now lifeless, six-foot-three prisoner while Yaku punctured holes on both sides of the victimâs neck, allowing the both of you to feed. It was oddly intimate, being so close to someone while sucking the literal life out of somebody. The lapping, sucking noises brought back salacious thoughts to the man beside you, and heâs doing all that he can just to avoid trading sustenance for an erection again. Meanwhile, Noya is watching both of you in amusement. Does his partner realize that heâs gingerly scraping his claws along your spine? Is it out of encouragement, or interest? Yu canât quite tell, but he finds it entertaining nonetheless. Even more so when Yaku squirms at the throaty moan leaving your lungs when you pull away, lips plump with a bead of leftovers dripping from the seam of you mouth.
Either way, Nishinoya knows it wonât be long now until Yaku cracks. Despite the great amount of self-control he tends to exercise, Yaku is but a simple creature that cannot stave off his desires and Noya is no different. They were going to give way to their desires sooner rather than later, but they made a vow eons ago that revenge must always come first.
One year, three months, one week, and four days. That was how long it had been since you died in the alleyway. Today was the day those boys were going to die for what they did.
By now, you were fully functioning; walking on your own, feeding on your own. The only difference between you and the others was that you still slept, though not very much anymore, and according to Akaashi, it would be a trait that you would grow out of maybe two decades after your first century. That was actually the sole reason there was even a bed in the houseâNishinoya still slept merely because he enjoyed it. He wasnât like the others who had found a passion project that kept him up around the clock, so more often than not, he would join you in bed. After all, it was originally his bed.
And more often than not, Yaku would sit in the spacious window sill while Noya wrapped his arms around you protectively in your shared slumber, as if to abide by the repeated mantra he had said over the last yearâheâll be there when you wake.
Your dreams are no longer memories, as youâve got caught up to current events thanks to the playback speed that they paced themselves at. Now, youâre able to recall on every single event of your life that youâve witnessed thus far with perfect detailâincluding the faces of your five murderers. Each of them belonged to your university Pike fraternity; two of them were a year older than you, two the same age, and the one who had the knife to your neck was a freshman not yet old enough to drink legally, but apparently old enough to to pull the metaphorical trigger and throw the knife that had gone through your entire body, severing your aorta in your heart.
After researching in the form of disguise, you learned that tonight Pi Kappa Epsilon would be holding their annual holiday gala; fancy words for a giant frat party for those who chose not to return to their hometowns for Christmas. Knowing how these events tend to functionâit was relatively easy to sneak in, even with Nishinoya and Yaku flanking your sides. You flashed the doorman a crisp fifty, knowing males always had to pay a fee for entry while women always got in for free. The bouncer grins upon seeing you in a tight, red body-con dress, but the grin is immediately displaced when his eyes land on the two men beside you. Giving your best, most flirtatious smile, you grab both of their wrists before heading inside. âDonât lose me, okay?â You yell over the pounding music.
âWe wonât,â they say in unison. Noya gives you a reassuring smile, hand pressed against Yakuâs back gently, while the latter purses his lips together in discomfort. âJust keep talking to me through here,â he adds, pressing his cold lips to your forehead chastely, âand Iâll find you.â You give him a confident nod before you throw yourself into the throng of people to find your targets. It proved a bit of a challenge, considering the strobe lighting and the myriad of peopleâall of the men looked the same on top of that. But once your eyes narrowed in on the man you first lured you, it was game over.
Like a tiger ready to pounce, you sauntered over to him, pushing aside whomever he was with at the moment before wrapping your arms lewdly around his neck. He looks down at you skeptically, but otherwise pleased with the bold actions. From a short distance away, Yaku and Noya are hiding like wallflowers, listening to the resounding chant happening in your head that screamed to kill him. âYou know,â Noya chimes in lowly, distracting Yaku from the way your hips are grinding and gyrating against the strange manâs, âwe could just kill the entire fraternity.â Yaku shakes his headâNoya was always fond of the idea of revenge against all who were guilty by association. While the others in the clan gave into his persuasion, Yaku never found it amusing.
âWhat if they had no idea that their brother killed someone?â
âThey probably bragged about it,â Noya grumbles. From his own experience, the shorter of the two liked to think that he knew how these people tended to operate.
âItâs go time.â Yaku says abruptly, eyes locked onto your retreating form as you pull one of your rapists by the tie and lead him out the frat house. The two Damned maneuver their way towards the quietest space, hunting for a window they can exit out of to follow you without garnering too much attention towards the situation. When they end up on the sidewalk outside of the Pike house, they see you paradingâbrokenly, complete with fake stumbles to allude to you being drugged againâthe man by the tie until he shoves you into the same alleyway.
Close behind were four others, all built and stocky as they traveled in their pack and making their way towards the alley. You were cornered amongst trash and dead rats, the five of them trying to zero in on you, yet you showed no fear. Instead, you stood at full height with the addition of your stilettos, as your body transitioned into itâs more predatory form. âRemember me?â You ask sweetly, cracking your knuckles nonchalantly. Your hair thatâs covering the ugly mound of flesh scarred over from your injury is swept over the opposite shoulder, giving them full view as your short, blackened claws graze over the skin. âOver a year ago, the five of you brought a woman to this alley, raped her and you,â a feral snarl leaves your lips as you point to the youngest fraternity brother, âthrew a knife into her back that went all the way through her heart and killed her.â
The five of them begin looking over at each other, wondering who ratted out who considering they had never spoken of the night since it occurred. It was easy to avoid, considering the body was never found. There was never any evidence. âW-who are you?â The youngest one squawks out.
âDonât remember?â Your head snaps in the direction to one of the older members. âI should have bit your dick off when I had the chance.â Thereâs no more room for talking, no room for rebuttal. Instead, you grab the same man you lured into the alley by the tie, bringing him close enough to snap his neck. When he was neither moving nor breathing, the remaining four began to back up.
âYo, this bitch is crazy, letâs get out of hereââ
âYou think youâre just gonna get away?â Noya laughs dryly as it crescendoed into full volume, shaking the walls and mimicking an earthquake that did not expand beyond the walls of the alley. The remaining four fall to the ground, not prepared for such loud noises let alone a trembling earth to accompany the sound. Yaku shakes his head in utter disgust before the crimson ring in his eyes locks with the prey.
âDone eating, love?â He calls out, causing the four other frat boys to look over in horror at the âeâ word. Once again, youâre standing at full height, the back of your hand wiping away the blood that had escaped from your mouth from your feeding.
âNot quite yet,â With every step you took, they trembled back, only to be met with your two saviors blocking their only exit. The youngest one is hiding all the way in the back, trepidation causing his bones to rattle within his skin as his back hits Yakuâs calf. âIâm still hungry.â Noya lets out a snort at thisâhe truly did love your sense of humor.
âYouâre next.â Yaku looks down at the young boy, only nineteen-years-old, who had been your executioner. That same boy looks at the leader of the clan in horror, eyes wide because he never in a million years saw this as his end. Effortlessly, Yaku picks him up by the collar of his shirt before tossing him in your direction. Rather than catching him, you gathered your claws together to form a single point, driving the makeshift lance through the stomach of the one who had ended your life. Without verbalizing it, you gave the boys permission to feed on the other twoâso long as it wasnât the one that you had tried to bite down on when he rammed his cock in your mouth.
You had plans for him.
In the mean time, you pull the now lifeless body off of your bloodied hand, drinking down whatever was dripping down your arm before tossing him off to the side; you had one more pressing matter to deal with. The last of the boysâthe dessert to your meal was pressed against the wall as he tried to run from this situation, watching in mortification as Yaku and Noya beheaded the other two brothers with their bare hands, feasting on their prey. âLike I said,â you sneered as you approached the last one, ripping off his pants and boxers much like he had when he violated your mouth. âI should have bit your dick off when I had the chance.â
And so you did.
âRemind me to never get on your bad side,â Yaku muses, having finished his meal, gawking at the way you had just left the last one along the wall with his penis bitten off all the way down to the base while you returned to the youngest member again, draining your murderer for all he was worth.
âI dunno, itâs kinda hot, babe.â Noya jokes, watching in amusement as well.
âIâm actually kinda full,â You shrug, having drained the stabber entirelyâthat put your body count to two full bodies. âDâyou guys wanna have the last one? I got all I wanted from him.â At sound of your permission, Yaku approaches the last one with a predatory glare, not daring to break eye contact as he asked you one more question.
â[ name ], do you feel that justice been served?â With a nonplussed grimace, you gave a shrug.
âIf anything, these assholes got the short end of the stick. They murder a girl they raped so she comes back from the dead and kills them all with two beautiful men by her side? Yeah, Iâm happy with that.â
By the time you returned home, you were an entirely different creature. You felt...free. Like there was nothing else anchoring your dead heart, like you no longer had a tether to this world. Like you had no purpose.
So now what?
Silently you meander back to your shared bedroom to further contemplate your existence, the boys you left behind glancing at each other in concern. âWant me to talk to her? I might be able to better sympathize.â Noya asks quietly so that your now heightened hearing canât quite pick up on the conversation. Regardless, Yaku shakes his head. He knows exactly what youâre thinking, what youâre feeling and not just because of his ability to read minds.
âIâve got a few things I want to say to her anyway.â Noya presses a tender kiss to his mates cheek before he flits away to hang out with Daichi as he normally does when heâs not with Yaku, while the head of the clan makes his way to the room. Youâre lying in bed already, the dress and stilettos shed and traded for bare feet and a slip. Despite your back turned towards him, you feel the bed dip as he lays beside you, something atypical of Yaku. âHow do you feel?â His voice is merely a whisper as he cautiously wraps an arm around your waist.
âShouldnât you know the answer?â You retort, but Yaku doesnât recoil because he knows. He knows the sort of limbo you feel youâre placed in now that your postmortem mission had been carried out. What were you supposed to do for the rest of eternity besides act as an impromptu executioner, feeding off of the worst criminals within a hundred mile radius?
âIs that all you see us as?â
âNo,â You say quietly. These Damned men had accomplished great things, from what you knew of them, in their lifetimes. Sugawara has continued composing even well after his other aliasâ deaths, Akaashi has been working on a research piece for decades regarding cancer in the form of preventative measures rather than a cure, in addition to a cure. Daichi had participated in the Olympics a number of times, Yaku was once a politician in multiple countries and Nishinoya had worked closely with electronic developers over the years including Microsoft and Linux. âYou guys have accomplished so much in your lifetimes, I just donât want to be some sort of disappointmentââ
â[ name ], we never knew were going to do those things. We just kept pushing on, finding out things we were passionate about and since we have unlimited time, weâve had time to hone and perfect those skills.â
âWhat if I never do anything that great?â Yaku lets out a sigh, turning your now fully restored body around to face him and pressing his face into your neck. Over the duration of your rehabilitation process, heâd become so over protective of you, wanting whatâs best for you in any capacity yet never fully being honest with himself.
âYou have time to figure it out,â he mumbles into your own icy skin, lips tickling your veins. âUntil then, just stay? With me?â
âYaku...â he had never fully outright asked you to stayâonly alluding to it in the past with talks of the future.
âI-I want you,â he whispers almost uncharacteristically. Being a diplomat, stuttering was not a thing that Yaku did very often. âTo stay with us forever. To stay with me forever.â This is it, he figures. Itâs now or never. Yaku canât stand the idea of you leaving the clan, leaving him when he hadnât yet had a taste of you, had you in any other form than a few mere kisses for feeding or in fantasies. Pulling away, Yaku shifts once again so that his arms are holding his weight above you, his lips ghosting intimately over yours.
Both of you are overly aware of the attraction thatâs thereâyou knew of the daydreams youâd had of him throughout the year and with his ability, he was unwillingly subjected to them. Reaching up slightly, your lips press against his hungrily, your tongue immediately dancing along the seam of his lips, begging for permission to enter. Yaku doesnât waste a second dropping the support from his arms in favor to press his body fully into yours because heâs been waiting for this moment. Itâs evident in his fervent kiss, itâs evident in his ever present erection. A mewl warbles in your throat as you feel him grind against you.
Why the hell had you waited so long for this? Why did he wait so long for this?
There was no more waiting.
Breaking a part for a moment, you pull the slip off your torso hastily while Yaku unbuckles his belt and frees his lower half. Impatience floods you as you tear off the thin Henley heâs wearing, leaving the two of you entirely bare in front of each other. The large scar on your bosom that had made you self conscious for months suddenly felt dull in comparison as youâre met with the varying marks that marred Yakuâs skin. From what you could tell, they looked like whiplashes. âI need you now,â he pleads, ignoring your wandering thoughts as he hungrily pulls you in for another kiss. Though rather short lived, your overwhelmed with warmth and pulsing in your core as his fangs run along your neck before sucking lovingly at your collarbone.
âO-oh,â you moan out wantonly, clutching at his shoulders to keep yourself steady. With no preparation, not that you needed any, Yaku slowly sheaths his member inside of you, the girth stretching you deliciously. For a moment, the two of you remain still to bask in the reprieve you both felt, unaware of the third party member watching pleased in the lounge chair across from the bed. âFuck,â you hiss out between your teeth as heâs pushing in inch after inch.
âYouâre doing so good, princess,â for a moment, heâs impressedâtaking eleven inches with little to no preparation can be torturous, and he knew that from experience. âCome on, baby take the last of itâoh fuck yeah,â Yaku groans out as soon as heâs balls deep within you. The two of you are still, enjoying the moment of togetherness before he bottoms out entirely in your sweet little hole. His hips move almost languidly so as not to hurt you but good lord for all that is unholy, is he holding back.
Soft whimpers leave your lungs each time his hips snap back into yoursâwhy the hell hadnât you fucked Yaku sooner?! A throaty chuckle grumbles in his chest at the thought. Even with him slamming his cock in you at half-force, his mind is intertwined with yours to the point where your thoughts feel like his own. âI had to take care of you princess, wanted to make sure you could handle me fucking you.â
âThen fuck me harder, ass-hat.â
âHe likes it better when you call him senpai.â Nishinoya calls out from the opposite corner of the room, as if he wasnât just leisurely watching his partner ream himself into your core. You let out a scream and at this point, you arenât sure if itâs because Yaku have a particularly hard thrust with the head of his dick meeting with the edge of your womb or if Nishinoyaâs presence surprised you. Even more so to see that he was stark naked, stroking his cock that heâs presenting to your mouth.
âSuck off your senpai, princess.â Yaku whispers devilishly in your ear, holding his cock still within you as he does so. Tentatively, you give a kitten lick to the head before you, testing out Nishinoyaâs reaction to the motion before deeming him worthy. A soft grunt escapes him, his body more than welcoming of the sensationâbut it just wasnât enough for you.
âI need a better reaction than that, Nishi,â You joke.
A poor plan on your part.
The shorter of the two looks down at you curiously, a wicked twist of his lip displayed for you as he briefly tosses an amused look towards Yaku, to which the latter lets out a chuckle in addition to the shake of his head before he starts to withdraw his cock from within you. âHowâs this for reaction?â Noya chirps before deftly wrapping his claws in your hair, slamming his engorged member down your throat while Yaku simultaneously thrusts back inside you. The carnal desires that had run rampant through your mind on occasion had built to this moment, built up the needy desire that the boys finally had the chance to release with you. âYeah, you take that cock in your throat, baby. Show us how much youâve wanted us from the start.â
Nishinoya is absolutely relentless as he repeatedly withdraws and replaces his erection in your mouth, pulling so far back as to have his tip tease and smear pre-cum along your lips, all the while chanting praise and how much he loves you; how much heâs dreamed of having you between him and Yaku. The latter canât help the stuttering motion of his hips as he unabashedly strokes his member along your walls, the tip of dick all but moving into your womb. âYeah, princess, take your senpais cocks so fucking good, yeah? You want us to fill all your holes with our fucking cum, donât you?â You can only wail out around Nishinoya in your mouth in response, clenching and squeezing your pussy tightly around Yaku inside you. The clan head lets out a very audible groan at the abrupt friction. âOh, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, senpaiâs gonna cum so fucking hard inside you, yeah yeah yeah.â Yaku is absolutely wrecking and ravaging your lower half while all the foul, salacious words leaving him were only serving to turn on his partner even more until the both of them hold still to empty their first loads inside you.
After a momentary reprieve, the two of them withdraw from you, the smallest whine leaving your lips at the distinct emptiness. Between pants, both of the males look to each other before letting out a laugh. âPrincess,â Noya calls out from your left, golden eyes light and airy as they gaze at you, âdid you think we were going to let you cum?â
âY-yes?â Why wouldnât they? Wasnât that just normal, sex etiquette between partners?
âOh no, love,â Yaku adds, âWeâre gonna show you just how much we love you, gotta coat every inch of your skin in our fluids before you can even think about cumming.â Before you can blink, the boys are up again with Nishinoya taking his position with the tip of his still hardened member teasing the outer lips of your pussy. Meanwhile, Yaku makes it a point to slap your cheek with his own erection, making sure to keep your attention and focus on him. Simultaneously, they thrust into their respective orifices that theyâve tradedâYaku treating you much more delicately versus Noya who shoves his entire mast inside your depths.
âOh damn, babe, youâre so fucking tight!â The latter howls, throwing his head back in ecstasy. Despite having identical lengths, Nishinoya was much more rough and rigid, your walls acclimating to every vein out of necessity before relentlessly pounding away at your insides. At his pace, your pussy doesnât even have a chance to miss the feeling of fullness. Your voice is no longer coming out in moans or screams due to the damning paceâonly in a broken staccato of warbles from the speed that Noyaâs fucking you. âYeah, baby? Gonna stay here with us forever and get dicked down every night? Youâd like that wouldnât you?â
But with the almost tender, loving way Yaku is holding your throat while repeatedly sliding his cock in from tip to base, there is no actual way you can reply. Instead, you let out grunts and cries of affirmation because you would stupid not to welcome the way these two were screwing you. Itâs also more than just that.
These two, as well as the rest of the brood, had taken you in being inches from death, presented you with another opportunity for life that served as an opportunity for you to seek revenge, while caring for you and almost...loving you.
âWe do,â Yaku bites, withdrawing his cock from your lips offended at the thought of almost, âlove you, that is.â The hand that is cupping your throat moves to brush the backs of his claws along your jaw before pulling your chin and torso up so that Yaku can kiss you fully. There is no lust or wanton desire in this kissâitâs love through and through that is simultaneously cold yet warm.
âYouâve been dreaming about us for a long time, princess,â Noya grits out, his peak approaching all too quickly with the way youâre clenching around him with no relief. Heâs panting heavily, no longer caring about his need to assert his dominance in any capacity; all he can think about is cumming deep inside you while you cum around his thick cock. âWe want to make your dreams come true.â
Yaku pulls away from the kiss in time to hear your criesâa delicacy he had never had the pleasure of knowing in a past lifeâas you cum with Noya. The latter is holding still for a brief moment before withdrawing, his spent body collapsing beside you. Youâre sensitive, you realize, as Yaku slides back in to reclaim his space. Your walls are still trembling in the aftermath of your orgasm, but Yaku is much more gentle this time around. Pressing his body flush against yours, he wraps both his arms around you with one cradling your head, the other around your lower back to pull you as close as possible. His shallow moving thrusts in accompaniment to his pulsing girth are enough to trigger yet another orgasm in direct succession, and coercing his own orgasm. âPlease stay, [ name ].â He mumbles into your hair as he feels his seed spurting within you. Though you supply no answer due to trying to catch your breath, you only nod in response. Yaku remains still inside you, so as if to seal both his and his partnerâs emission within you with his own softening cock, smiling at the simple fact that you had nodded in response. âGet some rest, little one,â He adds, adjusting so that heâs on the opposite side of you and a now sleeping Noya. âWeâll be here when you wake.â

Surprise Me, Surprise You (Happy Shinichi Day! 05.04.20) (ShinRan. Drabble. College. Roommates.)
.
.
(Many months after the Blackout incidentâŚ)
.
He is out late again.
Going back to their apartment a little past midnight has slowly turned into a routine. School work, on top of detective work, is such a pain. The only thing heâs grateful for is the fact that he likes his major, Criminology, so damn much. Had it been otherwise, the reason for going home late for the past few days will be because of a real case of homicide, not because of a simulated midterm project geared to identify fingerprints, blood splatters, and wounds for his Forensics class.
Not that he wants more homicides to happen. Well. Real, unsolved cases make him feel alive. Not school requirements.
He shuffles for his keys and opens the front door quietly, careful not to make any unnecessary sound that might disrupt the sleep of his roommate.
Roommate slash childhood friend slash most favorite person in the world â
â Platonically. Or so he forces himself to believe.
The light in the living room is still open, much to his confusion. He walks to the light switch, only to stop short upon seeing a figure sleeping soundly by the dining table.
Ah. There she goes again.
He shrugs and approaches the woman. She looks so peaceful sleeping like a log that for a moment he debates on whether or not to wake her up or just drape her with a blanket. But whatever decision he thinks of becomes moot upon hearing a tired sigh, followed by a long, disconcerted yawn.
He almost snorts at how ridiculous she looks as she stretches her limbs while wearing that striped party hat on her head.
âNn...Shinichi?â
âMhm,â he pulls up a seat, eyes half lidded, his elbows on the table as one palm couches his cheek. âYou fell asleep here. Again. How tired are you on a daily basis?â
She rubs her eyes, attempting to ride them off of sleepiness.
âWhat time is it?â
â12:25 AM.â
âTwel... EH?!â
Like a panic-stricken child, Ran stands upright, droopiness gone in an instant. She glances at her phone and her face whitens. After hurriedly sending a mail, she pulls out a match from her back pocket and lights a small candle sticking out from the center of a finely baked pie, which has surprisingly gone unnoticed in front of him.
Shinichi watches in quiet amazement as Ran lifts the pastry and brings it near his face.
âHa-... Happy birthday, Shinichi!â
Shinichi blinks owlishly.
Itâs my birthday?
âItâs your birthday, you moron!â Ran answers, like she has just read his mind.
âOh.â He looks at the pie in front of him, then at her. âIt is...Oh. Okay.â
She rolls her eyes and releases a groan. âGeez. I knew it, you forgot your birthday again!â She slides back to her chair in defeat. âYou never really care for occasions like this, do you?â
He smiles apologetically.
âWell, worry not,â she places the pie on the table, âbecause thatâs what Iâm here for. To remind you!â
For a detective geekâs best friend, this girlâs pretty painstakingly persistent. He has known this since they were young, remembering the many times sheâd coax him into eating, drinking, and sleeping, everytime his detective brain got the best of him. Some people would give up easily, but not her. Although her ramblings were never guaranteed to work on him all the time, she remained relentless in reminding him to do human things because heâs, you know, human, and if she wonât, no one else will.
Somehow, this trait of hers has grown on him and admittedly, he finds it kinda nice. Sheâs like his own personal alarm clock. When he finds himself too engrossed in unworldly interests, or lost in track for whatever reason, her smiling face will randomly pop up in his head to tell him to breathe. Rest. Take it easy. Then heâll do it and be okay again.
Thatâs one of the many reasons why he considers her his most favorite person in the world.
In a platonic sense.
(Read: Not.)
âSometimes, itâs nice to take a break and celebrate moments like this, you know?â She remarks, bringing her face to her palm. âEspecially with people you love.â
She smiles at him appreciatively, and his heart flutters at that.
With people you love. Yeah.
âNow, make a wish and blow the candle!â And so he does. Ran claps her hand once the fire is extinguished, and readies to slice the pie with a knife she prepared beforehand.
Ran gives him a hefty piece and awaits his reaction on the first bite.
âSo? How is it?â Her eyes glimmer in anticipation for his answer, and she gets it when he widens his eyes and licks the crumbs around his lips in interest.
âLemon pie...â He blushes at how delicious it tastes. âMy favo-â
âYour favorite! Yay, Iâm really glad the taste turned out well!â She cups her cheeks in glee, marveling at her achievement. âIâve only tried baking it once, so Iâm not really confident about it.â
He forks more crumbs and eats in silence.
You should be. Itâs the most delicious lemon pie Iâve ever tasted!
âI learned from Asami-senpai that you like lemon pie. You know, our former student council president? The really pretty senpai who was liked by everybody from our high school?â
I know her. No one compares to you, though.
âYou mightâve forgotten about that already, Shinichi, but she baked the whole soccer club a lemon pie and you-â she snorts, â-you said it was bad! Oh my god! How dare you?â
It really was! I couldnât lie...
âAnyway, she also told me that she confessed her feelings to you but you rejected her. Said youâve been in love with somebody else for yearsâŚâ she drifts away, shoving another bite into her mouth, chuckling passively.
âI wonder who the lucky girl is?â
...Canât lie.
âItâs you.â
Her giggle dies down, mouth stops munching, smile instantly disappearing from her lips. Eyes widen like saucers, her face contorting to an unfathomable expression he can best associate to pure bewilderment.
âWh...what?â
âI said itâs you,â he looks away.
He doesnât mean to say that out loud â
â...always been you.â
â and repeat it thrice.
But oh boy, there he goes.
How does she look right now? Surprised? Confused? Betrayed? He cannot confirm. Heâs afraid to look again. He doesnât think he can.
(I love you.)
But alas, his senses betray him as his eyes instinctively flit back up, locking with hers, searching in desperation for whatever answer her beautiful eyes store.
Though words fail him (and her) at the moment, he wants to know.
He hopes âI love you backâ is a set of crystal eyes edging with tears that if she blinks, theyâll fall. He hopes âI love you backâ is a sharp, quivering inhale, unable to release an exhale, because she needs to fill her lungs with air or else sheâll pass out. He hopes âI love you backâ is that nervous bite on her lower lip, stopping the waterfall of words about to gush out.
(Do you love me too?)
He moves his face closer, closer to her... maybe heâll get a clearer answer if he sees her eye to eye, nose to nose, breath to breathâ
Knock! Knock! Knock!
As quick as lightning, Ran stands up from her seat, face as red as her ridiculous striped party hat.
âG-gee, I wonder wh-whoâs at the door?! Haha! C-Can you open it, Shinichi?â
She stutters and he cannot help but laugh at her awkwardness. He coughs and walks his way to the door. Weirdo as always.
...
You just confessed to her on your birthday. Now whoâs the more awkward one?
âSURPRISE!!â
He jolts at the sudden outburst of energy radiating from the other side. Startled to the bones, his eyes jump from one person to the other.
Kazuha-san. Hattori. Tou-san. Kaa-san. Sonoko. Kyougoku-san.
A mix of voices all echoing the same birthday greeting fills his ears, as he stands there confused as to who he shall prioritize first -- Yukiko hugging him, Heiji patting his head like heâs some disciple, Sonoko taking a picture of the sweet parent-child moment, Makoto holding a Shinichi banner with Shinichiâs big sleeping face plastered on it, Kazuha laughing at the background, or Ran admiring everything from inside their apartment.
âWe hope we didnât disturb a sacred moment,â Yusaku butts in, eyes shifting between Ran and Shinichi.
âWe mailed Ran-chan and told her weâll drop by and surprise you, Shin-chaaan!â Yukiko hugs him more tightly, earning her a wince from the birthday boy.
Entering the apartment freely, the four younger adults hang the banner a little above the pie Ran baked. Heiji and Kazuha unbox a chocolate cake they probably bought on their way to them, while Sonoko assists Makoto uncork a bottle of champagne and prepare eight glasses of wine on the table.
âTo Kudo!â Hattori exclaims, as he lights the other cake on the table.
âTo Kudo!â everyone shouts in unison.
He looks at the people, admiring everyone who went out of their way to pull this stupid surprise.
âThis is what I actually meant when I said celebrating your birthday with people you love,â she whispers beside him, shyly.
He grins stupidly at himself, then looks at her. âAnd I am now, right?â
In more ways than one.
Cheeks turning crimson, she averts his gaze and looks at the wave of people now crowding over her lemon pie.
âYes, yes you are.â
The pair looks at Yusaku and Yukiko setting their presents beside the pie; Makoto taking Sonokoâs photos as she pauses in front of their birthday surprise set up. Heiji and Kazuha bicker as to who gets the bigger slice of the pastry.
Amidst the noise, Ran finds herself staring at a full body mirror across the unit, reflecting her and him, side by side, the others blurred in the background.
âAnd these people you love... they love you back,â she refocuses her gaze on him. âSurely.â
She smiles so wide that it hides her eyes.
âHappy birthday, Shinichi.â
(I love you.)
âYeah,â he smiles back. âHappy birthday to me.â
...
(I love you, too.)

167. sweet si*ux (1937)
disclaimer: the review youâre about to read entails racist content and imagery. i, in no way, shape, or form, condone or endorse any of the ideals depicted belowâi find the content gross and wrong. however, it needs to be talked about. to gloss over it like nothing happened would be just as insensitive and tone-deaf. PLEASE let me know if i say anything wrong, itâs absolutely not my intent to say anything hurtful or offensive, and i want to take accountability for my actions if i do. thank you for understanding and cooperating.
release date: june 26th, 1937
series: merrie melodies
director: friz freleng
starring: mel blanc (coach, hiccup sfx, mohican)
another typical festival of dehumanizing caricatures and stereotypes, there IS one aspect of this cartoon that is rather atypical--this is the first cartoon to debut a little known song by the name of âthe merry go round broke downâ. the song is the second anthem for the looney tunes shorts, officially debuting as the theme song with roverâs rival, just a mere 4 months after this cartoon. with âmerrily we roll alongâ already instated as the merrie melodies theme, implemented with boulevardier of the bronx in 1936, the merry go round broke down preface cartoons in the looney tunes series, later prefacing every cartoon after 1964 with the bill lava version instead. it would also be the song number for daffy duck and egghead (sung by daffy), as well as being sung by daffy AGAIN with substitute lyrics in boobs in the woods. needless to say, this song has its fair share of history, and has made quite a name for itself.
the cartoon itself is another parade of demeaning gags, caricatures, and stereotypes, as well as remaining relatively plotless: we get a glimpse of native american life, complete with celebrity caricatures, song, and dance performances.
i will give credit where credit is due--the opening sequence of the cartoon is executed very nicely, with some beautifully painted backgrounds, accompanied by a tranquil (and appropriate) underscore of âindian dawnâ. we open to the silhouette of a native american perched on top of a mountain. as the sun continues to rise, marked by changing backgrounds, itâs revealed that the silhouette is merely a statue.Â
wipe away to a pan of the village, lulling us into a false sense of security as things are uncharacteristically quiet. one of the âteepeesâ (looking more like a circus tent) reads CHIEF âRAIN IN THE FACEâ, a take on warchief rain-in-the-face, noted for his crucial contributions in defeating general custer during the battle of little big horn in 1876. sure enough, a jerk of a pan reveals a stereotypical stoic native american sitting in front of the tent with a small stream of rain designated just for his face. the build up and reveal of the gag is clever, but the gag itself is tired and difficult to laugh at.Â
more teepee gags after--one native pushes his teepee up like an umbrella, sitting contentedly beneath it in a lawn chair. the most elaborate gag, however, serves as a callback to a merrie melodies cartoon dating all the way back to 1932. from the top of the teepee pops out a bespectacled, cap wearing college student toting a ukelele. he bursts into a rousing rendition of âfreddy the freshmanâ, a callback to the cartoon of the same name 5 years prior, directed by rudolf ising. seeing as friz himself received an animation credit on the short, the gag isnât totally out of the blue. the song itself would become a favorite of stallingâs, used in many a cartoon. once more, stereotypes prevail as the song is broken to allow a war-chant interlude before resuming. overall, the timing is well executed, but, along with everything else in this cartoon, is diminished in appreciation on account of being so tone-deaf. two more brief gags follow--a hen giving a war-cry after laying an egg, and a hitchhiker hopping into a womanâs papoose as she strolls by. nothing remarkable, more uncomfortable than anything. the gags feel a tad bit forced and directionless in my opinion.
next, a fade out and in signifies some momentum in the story as we spot a native american on the lookout, his entire upper-body rotating 360 degrees as he keeps a sharp eye out. suddenly, he spots something--a wagon crawls into view. a closeup shows two cows lugging along a covered wagon, emblazoned with TRADER DRUM on the side in big, red letters, serving as one of the more amusing gags as we see it towing a modern camper from behind.Â
particularly tashlin-esque camera angles pop up in this cartoon, especially during this sequence as the native american dashes over hill and dale, zigzagging in and out of the foreground. a good sense of audience immersion as we merely see his legs and the side of the cliff when he dashes alongside the foreground--frank tashlin would also utilize this camera/layout technique later on, this scene here particularly reminiscent of an angle used in now that summer is gone just a year later.
the native starts to write a telegraph--in the background, thereâs an EASTERN ONION sign decorated on top of a counter advertising â90 words for 90 wampumâ, the eastern onion sign a pun on the telegraph service western union. iâm more sympathetic to corny puns such as these, but the gag has definitely become rather obsolete and lost to the sands of time (since when was the last time anybody sent a telegraph?) the native hands it to a man behind the counter, who shoves the note outside of a hole in the tent and shows it to another native on the lookout. after reading the letter, he grabs a pipe and delivers the telegraph via morse code through the pipe. the sound of the pipe DOES align rather nicely with the underscore of âthe sun danceâ. and, of course, to top it all off, just as weâve figured the telegram has ended, we get a topper of âshave and a haircutâ, a hiccup sound effect by mel blanc capping it.
many a warner bros cartoon dons the catchphrase âcalling all cars, calling all carsâ from the 1933-1939 police radio drama of the same name, and this one is no exception. instead, however, the native american on the lookout drones in the same monotone voice âcalling all braves, calling all braves, pick up a covered wagon at cactus canyon and red gulch. go get âem, boys.âÂ
thus sparks some much needed energy--natives run out and (shocker) perform some war cries, the sequence cut short in favor of one (of a few) dance sequences. i do believe bob mckimson gets an animation credit for this cartoon, and while iâm not certain, his hand would certainly explain the solidity and fluidity of this next sequence as a native dances in time to a drum beat, getting progressively faster and faster as the tempo picks up, eventually transforming into a mere whirlwind. again, credit where credit is due--the animation and the technique behind it is very well crafted. itâs a shame such talent had to be used on such caricatures and stereotypes.Â
more high energy and more intriguing foreground camera angles as the natives dance around a fire. one woman beats both her stomach and her butt (makes me wonder about the hays code), another carrying her son in a papoose doing a war cry. eventually, the son carries the mother on HIS back, also doing a war cry. i wonder, did audiences then find the war cry gags as taxing as i do now? racism aside, it definitely serves as a crutch gag.Â
and, of course, time for a celebrity performance: a busty caricature of martha raye, living up to her nickname of "the big mouthâ as indicated by her giant caricatured lips, singing âgoombay drumâ. the song number is catchy and fun, but her caricature is certainly... questionable at best. cultural appropriation much? sexualized much? she would have only been 20 here. nevertheless, animation is fun and the song is very lively, but, as always, difficult to appreciate to its fullest potential.Â
after her song number, animation of the natives dancing around the fire is reused as a segue between scenes. this time, two natives dance the hopak (because why not?). carl stallingâs score is certainly a highlight--his transition between music styling is wonderful as always. more fire dancing animation as another segue, this time used to fade out and back in.Â
the next scene of the natives charging on horseback would be reused a year later in cal dalton and cal howardâs breakout cartoon porkyâs phoney express. the natives cross the creek to get to the traderâs wagon (once more some nice foreground overlapping and animation, all things considered), where the trader begins to shoot at them while they circle the wagon. the scene (as well as underscore) is very much reminiscent of the equally (if not more so) deplorable 1936 jack king cartoon, westward whoa.Â
an all out shootout occurs, the trader perching on a stool and shooting rapid fire as he spins 360 degrees, whereas a native fires back, spinning around his horse from the impact. there IS some rather unique and fun animation as a native fires his rifle, stars and sparks trailing behind. the novelty of the entire battle is lost rather quickly, however--itâs stretched too thin, too repetitive, too tired to be continually encapsulating. i will award points for creativity as the trader shoots at a line of canoes in the style of a carnival duck shooting game, but again the content of the gag is cringeworthy and uncomfortable.Â
nevertheless, this is where history is made, following in the carnival theme. the natives circling the wagon suddenly lift up and ride their horses like a merry go round, underscored of COURSE by âthe merry go round broke downâ, marking this the first cartoon to debut the future theme song. funnily enough, tex avery would reuse this exact gag in his 1953 cartoon homesteader droopy. friz frelengâs gag has the advantage of using âthe merry go round broke downâ to further the gag, whereas tex at MGM had to use âman on the flying trapezeâ. this isnât the first (nor last) time tex would take inspiration from friz. coincidentally, the cartoon reviewed before this, frelengâs streamline greta green, served as the basis for texâs one cabâs family. his 1950 the peachy cobbler is also spoofed from frizâs 1946 holiday for shoestrings.Â
after the merry go round gag, the shootout resumes. we spot sidelined natives, âfreddy the freshmanâ popping up as an underscore once more, observing the âgameâ as the coach paces back and forth, complete with a cheering section and everything. one native is shot right in the butt, prompting the referee to blow the whistle. the chaos screeches to a halt as two natives toting a stretcher, taking the injured âplayerâ off the field. the minor key rendition of âfreddy the freshmanâ does accentuate the gag rather nicely. stallingâs scores are probably the best thing about the cartoon, aside from the notoriety spurred on by the merry go round sequence.Â
the coach enlists in the help of one of the sidelined players, switching from broken english (sigh) to yiddish? another gag that, at least for me, has been lost to the sands of time. the native american heâs enlisting in gives a drawling catchphrase of âooooooohhhh yeaaaaah,â coined from tony labriolaâs character oswald on the ken murray show, used in quite a few 30s warner bros cartoons (porkyâs spring planting is the first example that comes to mind.) maybe a riot back in 1937, but the entire gag sequence is too dated (and again, the stereotypes of it all) to get a rise today.Â
another tashlin-esque technique is employed as various footage is overlayed and reused to further the drama of the entire sequence. for me, however, this comes off as more of a tactic to fill up the time slot then to convey urgency and theatrics. this WAS the depression, so if you can reuse animation to save a buck or two, then by all means go for it, but this cartoon in general feels rather directionless and hollow, as if there was too much time left to fill and they had to think of a way to fill it up. and, of course, the overarching unpleasantness of the racism contributes to my unfavorable review. we get almost 20 seconds exactly of overlayed footage before things finally settle down.
at last, the shoot out has subsided. the animation is commendable for how fluid it is as two native americans pop up amidst the rubble, both crossing their arms. the first native is obviously surprised to see he has company, exclaiming in broken english (sigh) âwho you?â the entire sequence is bogged down by cringeworthy, stereotyped dialogue. âme mohican. who you?â âme mohican.â the second mohican, obviously unpleased, grabs his tomahawk and socks his companion right over the head. i could be wrong, but the first mohican sounds like the vocal work of tedd pierce, the second one obviously mel blanc. the timing of the punchline is rather nice, i will concede, as the final line of the cartoon is âme last mohican.â an unarguably clever gag, soured by racism and stereotypes.
so, as you can obviously (or hopefully) tell, this cartoon is far from a favorite. itâs bogged down by dehumanizing and insulting stereotypes and caricatures, stereotypes and caricatures that have been done before and are awfully tired (as are all.) friz has worse entries under his belt, but he certainly has much better entries as well. this cartoon felt a bit loose and cobbled together for my liking, lots of extended scenes, reused animation, and directionless gags. itâs not quite a spot-gag cartoon, but i wouldnât say it exactly has a concrete storyline either. it just seems to exist. there are, of course, some good qualities: carl stallingâs musical technique is creative as ever, and brightens up the monotony of many of the scenes. the animation was rather fluid in some parts, but the content being animated sours the appreciation for the full technique. not enough to save the cartoon, it at least does tote some notoriety and history with it being the debut of the looney tunes theme song (being instated as such only a few months later.) however, i canât in good heart recommend this cartoon. too cringeworthy, too racist, too monotonous, too routine.
but, as always, iâll provide a link. obviously view at your own discretion.Â

Photo
Shirayukiâs different ships as presented by sketches of hypo-children whoop~
Whatever the pairing, the kids are the same; the girl is named Akemi, and the boy, Shigure. Totally not based on the Akechi-Shigure plant in the series. Not at all.
More info under the cut-
AnS (c) Akizuki Sorata Art: Me
Some notes on their design and personas~
ShiraxRaji Akemi: Wavy reddish-brown hair, deep green eyes, heavily freckled, full features. She takes a lot after the Shenazard family looks w thick eyebrows and droopy eyes. Sheâs a good girl (c) always pleasing, always kind, and a bit of a dreamer, and tho she does sometimes come across as somewhat of a doormat, there is a dormant temper hiding under her wavy locks. Heir to the throne of Tanbarun, she dreads the idea of becoming queen, dreaming of the simpler things. Her favourite relative is Auntie Rona, with whom she likes to have tea parties and play dress-up.
Shigure: Curly brown hair, brown eyes, freckled. He too is very much a Shenazard in terms of looks, but heâs rather more shy and introverted like his mother. He doesnât talk much, but when he does, itâs hyperfixed chatting about his interests, mostly bugs. He loves butterflies, with all their pretty colours, and enjoys drawing them. Will probably pursue something of a scholarly nature when he gets older, gently encouraged by his mother (who probably funds a lot of Tanbarun science, come think of it...) his favourite relative is his momma, because he can share everything with her.
ShiraxZen Akemi: Long, straight, salmon-pink hair, light teal-blue eyes, heavily freckled. Despite her hair colour, she is very much of Wisteria stock. A true stereotypical princess, sheâs more than a bit spoiled, and entitled too, but she evens it out with a good sense of justice, and an outspoken, unafraid demeanour. A born charismatic, she does very well on the social scene already, rumoured to become a very prominent member of the royal family once she debuts officially. Her favourite relative is Grandmother Haruto, whom she idolizes and tries to mimic.
Shigure: Ashen-haired, dark blue eyes, slightly freckled, and very pale, he has his motherâs features with his fatherâs colouring. This clumsy but energetic little boy gets under everyoneâs feet all the time, has more questions to ask than ten sages would know to answer, and is a natural-born chatterbox. As he gets older he will start to burn off some of that excess energy by taking up swordmanship (like father, like son) but for now he prefers to do his zoomies down the corridors of the familyâs castle wing, much to the servantsâ distress. Yes, he will cause grey hairs for Mitsuhide in the near future. âUncle Mitsuâ is also his favourite ârelativeâ as far as he is concerned.Â
ShiraxObi Akemi: Blackish-brown hair, kept short, sharp lime-green eyes, a few freckles, pale yellowish skin, and very skinny. A mischief-maker of the grandest sort, this tomboy who much prefers her daddyâs old undershirt to wear, is also likely to climb house facades for âfunsiesâ, and steal the odd item just to see if someone catches her in the act. Like a crow, she loves everything that has a shine to it, and if she isnât picking up shiny pebbles off the ground or sneaking off with old buttons, sheâs busy admiring her collection in her âlairâ in the attic. Whether she is truly sociable or not nobody knows, because she is also a master at schooling her features and attitude, mostly because it pleases her to be regarded as mysterious, and adds to her unpredictable character. Her favourite relative is totally âAuntie Torouâ, which is admittedly a cause of concern...
Shigure: Dark russet-coloured hair, green eyes, freckled. Born prematurely, he is of a sickly constitution, and as such has had to make do with more restricted activities because of a risk of asthma attacks. He also very easily runs fevers. With ready access to plants, and books about plants, and remedies, and everything else his mother keeps around the house, he is already very fascinated by greenery. He best enjoys spending time out in the open, in the gardens or in greenhouses, playing games like âI spy.â Very clingy due to his closely monitored up-bringing, his favourite relative aside from his parents would be Ryuu, who is extremely patient with him, and happy to answer anything regarding botany, herbiology, or really anything that comes to mind.
NOTE: funnily enough, the most important thing about designing these kiddos was that I didnât want anyone of them to have Shirayukiâs exact hair colour. It felt important to keep her singular, due to her story and how her hair colour plays into her life. :3
#Akagami no Shirayukihime#shirayuki#raji#zen wisteria#obi#hypo-kids#children headcanons#messy sketches are messy#it's been too long probs won't clean them up either#I'm still pleased tho#the kids at least came out like I imagined them#myart

Wrong Number
Prompt: âYou have found a ritual for summoning the Devil himselfâŚbut when you try it out itâs your neighbour that appears. Assuming the ritual has gone wrong, you let them go.â Contents: tiny bit of gore, but mostly just confusion, (British) cussing, and attempts at humour. A/N: I couldnât help but think of Crowley from Supernatural when I saw this prompt, so please accept the change to King of Hell rather than the Devil.
Checking the list of components one more time to make sure everything is ready you canât help but feel a shiver of fearful anticipation rummaging around in your guts. The King of Hell. Of all the demons (and other less savoury creatures) youâve summoned, this is going to be your piece de resistance. Itâs not even like you need something from the fucker, not really. You just want to know if the ritualâs for real. Aunt Agatha had a lot of weird stuff, most of which was bogusâŚor downright dangerous, you recall, scratching at the still angrily-red scar on your arm â it had turned out the pen was mightiest.
Back on track! The herbs are good to go, virginâs blood too which had been much easier to procure than the creator of the spell might have imagined. Lighting the candles, you begin reciting the words, letting them roll off and create a meaning beyond the syntactic property to power each action. As the blood drips from your arm into the bowl, the candles flare up â
Everything is dark. No candles, no electricity, just the yellow glow from the streetlights beyond the small living room. Then the power returns, blinding you once more although you do your best to fight it, blinking at the person standing in the middle of the room. A pair of fluffy red loafers are warming sock-clad feet. The flowery apron throws off the severity of the black shirt and suit pantsâŚa shirt that happens to have its sleeves rolled up to avoid the bubbles of what looks like dish soap drenching the hands of the stocky man.
âWhatâŚâ the English accent of your neighbour cuts through your baffled mind, âon earthâŚ.is going on?â
Hastily tossing the nearest pillow over the bowl and wrapping a towel around your arm, you hurry over the middle-aged man whoâs slowly turning in his spot to take in the sudden change in surroundings. Crap! Crapcrapcrap!
âMister Crowley!â Your mindâs racing to come up with something â anything. âPlease, sit down again! Iâll get the water for you and then weâll call someone to help you.â
âHelp me?â He certainly looks perplexed.
Guiding him by the arm, you manage to get him onto the couch. âYes, donât you remember? You came to my door, completely outtaât. I thought you were about to croak on me!â
You can hear him settling in a bit as you scurry to the kitchen, find a glass and filling it, and grabbing both an extra towel and your phone. If thatâs the lie youâre going with, then you have to do it right. But why? Nothing makes sense. Sure, a spell can backfire or a ritual can be for something else than plannedâŚbut for something to fail as monumentally like this, dumping an innocent, old civilian in a witchâs lap? Unheard of! Still, thatâs exactly what seems to have happened, and as stunning as the conundrum is you still have to deal with damage control first.
âAlriiight, here you go.â
Passing him the towel for the wet hands first, you canât help but notice the sharp intelligence in his eyes. You donât know much about Mr. Crowley, as he tends to keep to himself, except that he lives alone in the only manor in a neighbourhood of terraced houses. Everything about the place seems to be in perfect order, oozing a sense of old money which has the local gang of kids in a twist trying to figure out more.
âYeâre sayinâ I showed up at ye door?â The disbeliefâs palpable.
âYeah,â you nod, âall pale and shaking. Scared me shitless too.â
Crowley scowls at the phone on the coffee table. âI feel fine, no need to ring anyone.â
Thank you. âAre you sure? Wouldnât wannaâve you getting another fit when youâre aloneâŚyou knowâŚin case itâs somethingâŚâ
âIâm sureâŚâ The moment of silenceâs enough to establish an awkwardness that seems entirely one-sided and only bothering you. âItâs probâly for the better if I get back.â
At least he lets you walk him the few hundred meters to his place, even goes as far as to open the door with you still by his side, allowing you a glimpse of a richly decorated hallway beyond. Wood panelling, fine tapestry, small crystal chandeliers, and decor that never has been near an IKEAâŚin fact warehouses were probably a new concept when the items were made.
âŚ
Closing the door behind him, Crowley canât help but smile to himself at the way the young witch handled the situation. Whomever she had tried to summon, she clearly didnât expect him, and sure, heâd been pissed of at first, ready to kill her then and there, butâŚwhy? This could be fun.
âŚ
It's been days where youâve made sure not to try any summonings, focusing instead on cleansing your home until the place reeks of sage. Youâve had charged crystals placed strategically along vectors, drawn and redrawn a variety of sigils and runesâŚand of course cleansed yourself. Almost ready. Magicâs powerful and youâve had to make sure nothing has somehow influenced what you were (and will be) doing.
But how did it happen? Nothing indicated that the spell was a forgery. Sure, aunt Agatha did get slightly loopy (which explains how she ended up splicing herself when attempting to pass through a wall), which is why youâve taken the scroll to an expert after it landed Mr. Crowley in your living room. But the conclusion at the occultist was the same as your own.
Glancing at the alarm clock, the red ciphers glow like lava in the shape of 3:42.
âCainâs cock!â Pushing the duvet aside, you swing your legs out of bed, bending down to rummage for your slippers.
Soon, youâre at your desk, bend over the yellowed parchment to study the beautiful script and tiny illustrations for the millionth time.
âŚ
You manage to wait a few more days before finally giving in and using the first spell since the incident. Itâs just a simple incantation to help take care of an injured squirrel, not a full-blown summonâŚbut Crowley still appears. This time thereâs no apron, but a gorgeous, grey tie and a glass of whiskey in his hand.
How can you even begin to explain this? Itâs pure luck that he apparently is too drunk to even remember your name, let alone that heâs supposed to be somewhere else.
The third time he appears (this time in his pajamas and bathrobe), youâd been conjuring a bit of snow for the neighbourhood kids who were mourning the droopy snowman.
The fourth time, youâre ready for him. A Devilâs Trap is decorating the ceiling, fortified with crystals charged in lay lines. This time heâs dressed up for a proper meeting, but so are you because you want to make a strong impression when confronting him. Oh yes, youâve done your homework. Delved deep and cashed in favours to learn more about this neighbour of yours. Crowleyâs a demon alright, a crossroadsâ demon to be exactâŚbut itâs been a while apparently since heâs made a deal with anyone and rumour has it heâs moved up in the hierarchy of Hell. How far? Youâre not sure, but it doesnât matter because he should know enough of his trade to stay away unless called for. So why does he keep showing the fuck up?!
Checking yourself in the mirror, you make sure the dress is falling correctly to hide the weapon strapped to your thigh. Itâs just a knife, but the seller (the occult specialist who examined the spell) has guaranteed that the runes are identical to those on the Winchesterâs demon-killing knife.
Then you begin. Lighting candles and chanting the words you know by heart now after having stared at them so often. Herbs, sulphur, scales, and blood mixes in the bowl and the resultâs the same as your first attempt of using the summoning spell. The shadows obscure most of the short man, but the yellow light from the street lamps proves that itâs not just your eyes deceiving you. So does the smell of whiskey.
Moving to the couch and little coffee table, you keep an eye on the figure. âCup of tea, Mr. Crowley? Iâm afraid itâs just Earl Grey, didnât know what else to get you.â
âYe always do tea parties in the dark?â he drawls.
âNope. Lights just went out.â
With a snap he restores it, taking in the room before looking towards where youâre pouring the steaming tea into your auntâs old cups. A tray of scones is set temptingly in the middle of the cozy arrangement, butter and jam nearby, and it clearly catches his interest just like youâd hoped. Scooting further into your seat in a deep chair, you hope to portray a certain nonchalance as you test the scalding hot tea. Please, step into the trap.
Crowley gets all of five steps before stopping abruptly. âBloody hell!â Glancing around, it takes a moment before he spots the trap painted above him. âBravo, ye found out Iâm a demon, gonna let me out?â
âI think we oughtta talk first.â
Heâs fuming. Stubby fingers clench the glass so tight you half expect it to splinter, but just as quick as he was at getting worked up, he calms himself. The side of him that, according to rumour, made him a successful crossroadsâ demon shows as he braces himself for negotiation.
âFine!â OkayâŚstill a bit pissed. âYe got me, little witch, what ye want?â
You shouldnât be surprised that he knows what you are, but it does make you uncomfortable to hear him say it. You feel exposed somehow. Demons rarely harm witches unless provokedâŚthe question remains, of course, what Crowley would consider a provocation considering heâs been going out of his way to turn up randomly. Why not start with that?
âLetâs start with something easyâŚwhyâd you keep popping in?â
The first answer is an eyeroll. âYe summoned me.â
âIâwâs making it snow last time.â The cup clinks loudly as you set it down.
âAlright, so I mightâve had fun, making ye think ye were messing things up. Doesnât mean ye still didnât summon me the first timeâŚlike now.â
So, thereâs something wrong with the spell or the diabolic hierarchy is fucked up. Tossing him a scone, you walk over to the small dining table to pick up the scroll. Rex Inferi shouldnât be that hard to understand, but obviously something has been lost in translation. UnlessâŚ
âShow me your eyes.â
âNot intârested in oggling.â
Hoisting the dress up to reach the knife doesnât go as smoothly as youâd hoped. And when you finally do brandish it, Crowley scoffs at it before returning his focus to the drink heâs nursing. He still hasnât taken a bit of the scone. In an attempt to regain a sense of control, you flash the knife before him and explain of its properties.
âHA!â His laughter continues and sounds anything but fake. âYe think thatâs gonna scare me? Sweetheart, I know the real deal and that there?â He gestures to the weapon with the almost empty glass. âNot even close. Need Enochian for that, notâŚwhatever thatâs supposed to be.â
âIn that case you want mind a test-run, do ya?â
âYe donât wanna go cuttinâ me.â Crowley keeps a wary eye on the knife regardless of his proclaimed safety.
Would be nice to avoid blood on the rug. âOh no?â
âNope.â
âGive me one good reasonâŚâ You let the metal reflect the light just enough to serve as a reminder of its presence.
A finger flicks, perhaps out of habit, but the Devilâs Trap works as intended. âBollocks! Fine! âCause I am the bloody King of Hell, alright?!â
The silence lays heavily in the little room after the outburst. Red eyes glow with frustration, until Crowley blinks. Well, shit. Old aunt Agatha might have gotten at least a few things right, but how are you going to deal with the King of Hell trapped in your living room?

The Little Peach, Chapter 4
Notes: As always, huge thanks to my editor, Drucilla!
This chapter is shorter than usual, but I think given the plot points ahead, it's something we'll both have to live with. Sometimes I'm just too hard on myself.
As for Percuvio and Hutch, they're just random mooks I yanked out of INDUCKS.
Summary: As Mickey begins his journey, he discovers that sometimes compassion can get him farther than the blade.
Mickey had walked throughout the night, never looking back and keeping his eyes forward. He went to the very edge of the village, into the grassy plains, and continued to move as the sun began to rise. He couldn't afford to stop and sleep, since he needed to cover more ground than the average person. Every step counted and he had to make the most of it.
But as his feet began to ache alongside his stomach, a new problem reared its ugly head â he really had no way to tell how much progress he was making. It was mid-morning when he was finally tempted to glance behind him, perhaps out of a longing for his home that he'd never left before â and could only see the tall grass. Tall grass behind, tall grass ahead, tall grass to his sides â for all he knew, he could only be a few feet away from the village! He dreaded the idea of climbing up to confirm it, for if it was true, heartache and despair could kill him right then and there.
He shook his head hard, and forced himself to walk forward...
⌠This was forward, right? Uh-oh. Mickey paused, and panic began to creep up in his bones. Was it possible that his glance behind had turned him around completely? What if he wound up right back where he started? Or in a new direction away from his destination altogether? Now he felt dizzy, and he couldn't help but wonder if this had been a fool's decision all along. What he wouldn't give for a decent distraction!
âWOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!â
That... hadn't exactly been what he'd been thinking of, but who was he to complain? Mickey could hear a dog barking clear as day, and far more panicked than he'd been mere seconds ago. No, this was a sound of genuine fear, and Mickey's good heart knew he had to help. With his own troubles instantly forgotten, Mickey headed towards the sound, hoping he wasn't too late.
A faint mercy came to him, in that he came upon a clearing where the grass was shorter just as the trees were getting taller. There was the smell of smoke and the crackle of wood burning, as a small campfire had been made between two Oni â one a mess of black wolf fur and hair sticking out all over the place, the other a stocky gray rabbit that was having difficulty keeping his eyes open. Both of them only had one small horn atop their heads, and they were watching the fire, waiting for the right amount of flame and heat, while their intended dinner continued to fight nearby.
The dinner was the dog â a poor golden pup that was wrestling in ropes, having resorted to barking since chewing the ropes had done little good. Mickey's heart sank like a wrecked ship â to think they were going to eat man's best friend!
âMake him shut up, Pacuvio!â The wolf growled, his ears twitching with annoyance. âAin't we got enough rope left to tie that mutt's mouth shut?â
â'Fraid not, Hutch.â The rabbit replied after stifling a yawn. âWe used the last bit of just getting him all tied up nice and neat. If we want him to hush, why, only thing left to do is...â He jerked his thumb across his throat and made a disgusting sound.
Mickey nearly jumped out of his sandals â absolutely not! He wouldn't let these dreadful Oni eat the dog! He grabbed the edge of his blade, ready to pull it out and...
⌠And then what? The last time he tried to take on even a single Oni, he'd been defeated within seconds. There was nothing to change it up now â no, worse, now he didn't have a big strong father to protect him. He couldn't defeat these Oni just by trying, that would only make things worse. But he couldn't stand by and let this happen. So what could a man only as tall as a peach pit do? He had to think of something before these wicked, brilliant Oni could act!
âI don't wanna do it,â said Hutch, visibly recoiling. âThat's disgusting! You do it, you chop off his head.â
Pacuvio lifted his head, his droopy eyes taking on a bit of life. âHey, you're the one who came up with this idea! I'm starving too, and we haven't managed to take over a single village... but if we go back like this, the Oni King will have our heads! So you chop off the dog's head.â
âI don't wanna do it! You do it!â
âI don't wanna do it either, but one of us has to do it, and it ain't gunna be me!â
âYou do it!
âYou do it!â
âYou do it... times infinity!â
It then occurred to Mickey that he wasn't exactly facing off against wicked, brilliant Oni like in his father's legends. In fact... he let go of his sword, and decided to do a test. With gentle grace, he tip-toed into the clearing, scooting along the ground. The argument, if it could be called that, continued on without either of them noticing the extremely small person making his way around them. He was curious if they would've noticed him doing cartwheels and gymnastics, but this was no time to be a smart-alec.
Okay, he couldn't resist one cartwheel.
The pup hadn't noticed him yet, continuing to bark for his freedom, his four paws tied all together. It wasn't until he felt what he assumed was a bug walking on his ear that he tried to look around, and thus he wound up blinking at a very small person. This was such a shock to the dog that he immediately stopped barking.
The Oni realized this right away, and looked over at their victim â Mickey had enough sense to hide behind the dog's head, just in case. Pacuvio rubbed one sleepy eye. âMaybe he wore out his voice. I reckon I'm about to do the same, we keep goin' back and forth like this.â
âWell, we gotta settle this somehow, my belly is achin'!â Hutch grumbled, crossing his arms. âWe ain't had anything to eat in days! We'll keel over before any mortal gets us... Aw, I wish things were back to the way with the old Oni King! He was a good egg!â
Pacuvio turned back to his companion, nodding in agreement. âHear, hear. I was lookin' forward to that treaty, yes I was. No more fighting, we could all just live and let live. Now, we get bullied and bossed around, with no end in sight... but I'm still not chopping off the dog's head.â
âOnly one way to settle this!â Hutch declared, and he held out his arm after rolling up his sleeve. âWe arm-wrestle! Loser does the loppin'!â
âOookaaay...â Pacuvio let the yawn escape this time, holding out his other arm to begin the match. âBut it's only gunna make us hungrier, I bet.â
With the newest diversion at play, Mickey quickly set to work â he withdrew his âbladeâ and set to work trying to undo the knots. It was very difficult â sewing needles were not meant for such things, after all â but Mickey wouldn't give up. Samurai never gave up! The dog blinked and blinked again at the oddity trying to help him, trying and failing to make sense of it all. Given how long this was taking, it was reasonable to worry the Oni would catch him.
Thankfully, the Oni were evenly matched â way too evenly matched. They were grunting and grinding their teeth, using all their remaining strength to stay up while trying to pin down their opponent, and ultimately making no real progress at all. Thread by thread, little by little, Mickey finally managed to hack away enough rope so that one of the dog's paws was freed. As he set to work on the next one, the dog helped by using his own sharp paws to claw at the remaining ropes.
All in all, this took about ten minutes â and the wrestling match was still going on. The dog stretched out his legs when he was finally free, grateful to move again, and Mickey was relieved that he could finally be of use... but not as relieved as he thought he'd be. He watched the grown men, who now appeared ready to pass out, and felt a twinge of pity. They were hungry, and desperate, and they clearly didn't want to have done the thing they'd nearly done.
He looked at the dog, who could have run away, but instead the pup looked back at him, as if waiting for a command. Mickey thought about the bits of bread and cheese he'd taken along. He considered leaving it behind for the Oni to eat, but even as starving as they were, it would be mere crumbs to such giants. Though it was no fault of his own, he made a mental apology that he could do no more for them.
âI ain't doin' it!â Hutch barked, nearing his limit of physical limitations.
âWell, neither am I!â Pacuvio shot right back, his body trembling with weakness.
In one, angry, exhausted yell, both men cried out, âYOU DO IT!â with such force that they slammed their heads together, and with one unanimous K.O. , they fell to the ground.
Mickey watched them for a few more seconds, mostly just to confirm he did see exactly that. âHuh,â he said out loud, scratching his head. âI was kind of hoping my first defeat of an Oni would be a bit more...exciting.â Maybe this was one legend he wouldn't pass down the family line.
With that out of the way, Mickey turned to the dog, hands on his hips. âAll right, you take care of yourself now, pal! The world's a scary place, especially with all those Oni around...â he trailed off, giving this speech a bit more thought. â... I mean, you could run into more capable ones. Probably. Possibly.â He cleared his throat, trying to return to the stance of the heroic samurai. âThat is, you're free to go!â
But the dog merely laid down on the ground, head between his paws, with a small whuff as he waited. Mickey didn't know much about animals, given his mother's fairly reasonable fright of him being eaten by one, but he tried to guess what the pup was conveying. âWhat's the matter? Don't you have a home to go to?â The dog shook his head, and then nudged Mickey with its big black nose, almost accidentally bowling him over. âW-whoa! Hey, uh...â Mickey caught his footing, starting to guess better. âAre you sayin'... you wanna come along with me? Since I got you free?â
The dog nodded quickly, with rapid panting that nearly sounded like a joyful âyeah yeah yeah!â
Mickey's eyes widened, and he felt as if his heart was doing the same, as it was filled with so much joy it could have burst. âAw! Really? Really really? That's great! We'll be traveling companions!â He then turned his hand slowly around his wrist, wanting to create a dramatic atmosphere. âBut I warn you, it won't be easy! I'm heading to the capital of Japan, where the Princess lives, so I can ask her to grant me the power of the Lucky Hammer! We may meet many more deadly Oni on our journey!â
Hutch began to snore.
âUh...we may meet actual deadly Oni on our journey.â This was getting off-track again. âI guess I can't just call you 'dog'... wouldn't be right. Everyone and everything deserves a name, and we're going to be friends, my friend needs a name!â Mickey took a look back at the Oni, and saw it fitting that he could use a combination of their unusual names to give his new ally a unique one. âHow's about... Puh... Hul... Pluto?â
The dog glanced upwards as it thought about his new moniker, found it acceptable, and decided to show his gratitude by giving Mickey a big lick â although he only intended it to be a small thank you, it wound up knocking Mickey over. But Mickey laughed merrily anyway, managing to hug Pluto's nose and rub it with affection. âPluto it is! My first real friend, Pluto! Alley-oop!â He began to climb up Pluto's face, and continued on until he sat comfortably atop Pluto's head. âThere we go, now I can see clearly!â Now he could be sure which way was which, and make way with sheer confidence!
âOnward, Pluto! To the royal palace!â With that, the next leg of the samurai's epic journey began...
⌠and promptly ended when he fell off as Pluto ran.
Luckily it only took a short time for Pluto to realize he was one rider short, and he was quick to return to Mickey's side. The young man dizzily sat up, holding up a finger as he waited for the world to set itself back straight. âLemme try that again, but this time, mind if I hold onto an ear?â
Pluto didn't mind, and with that, the next leg of the samurai's epic journey really began. While Mickey still wasn't entirely sure that this was indeed the right path to take in order to reach the palace, he was sure that it wasn't the way back to the village. Hope had been restored in his heart, although hunger was still in his belly. Were other Oni desperate and starving like that too? The Oni King had hoped to make the mortals suffer, but his own kin were hurting just as much. What a terrible ruler this Oni was, and what a shame the old Oni King and his family had died just as peace was within their grasp.
He began to get one of this three-pronged headaches, and if he wasn't holding onto one of Pluto's thin black ears to avoid flying off, he would have rubbed his head in pain. Boy, those were becoming more frequent lately. He hoped it wasn't a bad omen of things to come, and instead focused on the future, where he would be tall enough to give Pluto proper pettings.
~*~
Daisy woke up first, as she usually did, since the burden of housework was on her shoulders. Not that she minded â she was typically a happy housewife and mother, and longed for little more. Although the Oni still had a hold on her village, she tried to face the morning with a spring in her step. Nothing was the same forever, and it was high time she celebrated her son's birthday. No Oni would make her child unhappy, not if she had anything to say about it!
âGood morning, Mickey.â she said sweetly as she headed for the drawer, ready to greet him and start the day off right. âI know things have been bad, but we're going to change that with a big birthday party! How does that sound?â She opened the drawer...
⌠And screamed to high heaven.
Donald bolted up from sleep, scrambling to his feet, trying to find the enemy that was attacking his wife. âWho, what, when, where, sometimes why?!â
âMICKEEEY!â Daisy frantically began pulling out each and every drawer, trying to find her son, rechecking the drawers just in case, but there was no trace of him. âMickey! Where are you?!â
âHuh?â Donald blinked rapidly, and managed to dodge one of the drawers she tossed behind her in her frustration. âWhat's going on? What's this about Mickey?â
âHE'S GONE!â His wife shrieked, and when it was clear he wasn't in or around the drawer, she began tossing and turning over every single piece of furniture in the bedroom, calling his name and growing more hysterical by the second. âMickey! Mickey! MICKEEEYYY!â
âNow hold on,â Donald continued to dodge anything accidentally tossed his way. âI'm sure he's not gone, he's small! He could be anywhere in the house and we'd easily miss him.â Although he knew Mickey well enough that the boy wouldn't keep his mother waiting this long to pop out. âMaybe he went to get a head start on breakfast. I'll search the kitchen.â His arm still ached, and he rubbed it as he left the bedroom, hoping his wife wouldn't be reduced to tearing up the floorboards. Surely Mickey was around here somewhere, where else would he go? Why would he go?
But as Donald inspected the kitchen, a creeping sense of dread began to flow through his skin. Mickey could be quite mischievous, but he wasn't cruel, he would have shown himself after all this noise. Donald quietly began calling out Mickey's name as he looked through the cupboards, that bad feeling getting worse with each failure. No, no, the house was large, very large! He had to be somewhere! They never let any animals inside the house, so nothing could have taken him away. If he had moved, it would have been his own choice, and Mickey had no reason to leave.
Except, Donald remembered, a very big, painful reason.
Husband and wife searched from top to bottom, from the attic to the very dirt beneath the house, and as Daisy cried in anguish while re-searching the house, Donald's suspicions made him physically ill. He was tempted to put on his armor when he was ready to talk to Daisy, as he figured that would be the only thing keeping her from killing him.
âMickeeeyyy!â Daisy called out again as she searched the attic for the third time, her face wet with tears. Donald awkwardly stood behind her as she smoothed down the floor with her hands, trying to detect a footprint or a sign of her son. âOh, where could he be? What could have happened? My poor baby is out in the world, lost, alone, and in danger! Why would he leave? Why? Why? WHYYYY?â
Donald braced himself by inhaling deeply. âI... might have an idea.â
Daisy whipped her head around so fast her hair smacked Donald in the face, leaving a mark. She blinked, and then squinted. âDid you do something?â
Donald uneasily took a step backwards, holding up his hands in defense. âI need you to understand, it was a very frustrating night when the Oni attacked Grandma's arm. I was tired, and injured, and everything was lost.â
Daisy rose to her feet, fists clenched. âWhat did you do.â
âAnd, the boy, well, you know him, he got these ridiculous ideas in his head, he thinks he can do all these things but he's so small, so-â
âWhat did you do.â
âHe tried, but he really couldn't do much of anything, I had to get him out of there, but he was being so stubborn, gets it from you if you ask me-â
Daisy's hand lashed out, grabbing Donald and slamming him into the wall, her eyes a blazing hellfire from which there was no escape. âWHAT. DID. YOU. DO.â
Donald tried to think of a way to tell her in the gentlest way, but really, there had been nothing gentle about what he'd done that night. It had been harsh and cruel, and worse still, he couldn't make himself apologize. He prepared himself for the worse, closing his eyes. âI... I told him... he wasn't part of our clan, he wasn't part of our village, and... and... and that he wasn't my son.â He then held his breath, waiting for the inevitable pain and punishment. Maybe she'd poke his eyes out, or sock him in the mouth, or throw him out the window.
But none of these things happened â in fact, nothing happened at all. Donald waited, then questioned if she heard him at all, which was silly since she was directly in front of him. He hesitantly opened one eye to see what was taking so long.
Daisy was angry, this much was obvious, but there was a sadness there that was so awful and agonizing that Donald truly wished she had struck him instead. He'd never seen her so sad, not even when she longed for a child in her barren womb. Her face was falling slowly, shocked by what she'd heard, her fingers loosening their hold on his clothes. âHow...â Her voice trembled, and it felt like an arrow shot right into Donald's heart. âHow could you... say such things to him?â
Donald's shoulders sank, and he couldn't stand to look at her heartbroken face. âI... he was... he was only going to get himself hurt, if he kept it up! He wanted to help, and he can't, Daisy! He can't help anyone!â The more he tried to excuse himself, the worse it sounded. He was angry because... Mickey wanted to help? Because for all of Donald's aggravation and abuse, Mickey still turned out to be a decent, good person?
âThis is his home, Donald!â Daisy protested, fresh tears in her eyes. âAnd you made him feel like he doesn't belong! You made him think he'd rather face the awful, terrible dangers of the world than be safe here!â
Each correct accusation was a new wound, and Donald reached out to his wife in an attempt to comfort her. âDaisy, I'm sorry-â
âDon't apologize to me!â She slapped his hand away. âYou know who you need to apologize to... and we have to go find him now!â She marched towards the stairs. âWe need the entire village searching!â
âThe Oni won't allow that!â Donald followed after her. âYou remember what they want, everyone needs to work twice as hard to keep up with their demands! And for all we know, Mickey might have left the village completely, he could be anywhere by now!â
âThen what are we supposed to do?â Daisy asked angrily, hands on her hips on the bottom step. âSearching every single village will take forever, we don't have eyes and ears everywhere!â
Donald paused mid-step as an idea occurred to him. âNo, we don't... but I know who does.â He cupped his chin, going over the possibilities. âIt might be a long shot, but... perhaps the Princess could help us out. She can send out plenty of soldiers to look for Mickey, sweeping all over the land. One of my friends still works at the palace, he could put in a good word for us.â That same friend had kept him updated about the royals from time to time, and had been the very same one to tell him about the broken treaty years before. If luck was finally in Donald's favor, the man would still be there, and if he was, Donald had no doubt he'd help out.
Daisy gasped in relief. âYou mean... him? That lady-killing Casanova who hit on me and you?â
âThat was one time,â Donald said quickly, âbut yes. The Emperor trusted him as much as he did me, and I'm sure the Princess will listen to her father's trusted guard. We need to get there as soon as possible â and we need to leave the village before the Oni notice we're gone.â
That meant they had to move quickly, so there was no time for Daisy to thank Donald for his brilliant idea save for a brief kiss on the cheek â and a kick in the shin for causing the problem in the first place. She took the bread and cheese from the kitchen â the very same Mickey had taken scraps from â while Donald grabbed his trusted sword.
Donald wished he could have informed his family of his departure, but he worried whatever information he left behind would bring the Oni's wrath upon them. In fact, part of him knew that the Princess would easily reject this idea, Donald's friend notwithstanding. She had an entire land to protect from the Oni, and couldn't afford to waste manpower searching for an incredibly small person. There was no sound reason this plan would work.
Yet he held Daisy's hand tightly as they fled from the village, never telling her about those dark thoughts. If Mickey could face several deadly Oni and refuse to back down, then Donald had no right to give up without trying. Or maybe they were both stupidly stubborn to a fault.
Little did they know that they were following the exact trail that the small samurai had taken.
