UKIGUMOS - »❝浮雲❞« ANGSTOBER - COUNTDOWN (tw. implied abuse)

Peace was short-lived.

Even the prison that was Kindergarten hadn't fully shielded him from chaos. With that said, it wasn't impossible to avoid any physical altercations while there. Behind the building and inside the bushes proved to be decent temporary fixes. Sometimes, even the highest point in the playground.

Children flock out with their caretakers when the clock strikes, leaving both the building and the playground to bask in solitude. Perched atop the yellow slide, Kyouya pressed his hand against the metal. The heat was gradually dissipating. Stretching across the playground were the twisted shadows, marking the beginning of the countdown for the nightly colosseum. As if the concerned murmurs of the mothers from behind the walls weren't an indication enough.

With each batch of heartbeats, Kyouya's own shadow stretches, seeping past the open cage. It was time.

»❝☁︎❞«

The yellow bird's warmth leaves the palm of his hand and Kyouya comes to a sharp halt. His shadow reach towards the gates and a sense of urgency washes over him.

This countdown was no longer necessary, and yet...

short drabble about overblot!jamil projecting onto you, but on the bright side, you're distracting him by feeding his ego! tw: it gets suggestive at the end part 2?

You swear you have seen this scene play out before. Perhaps it was in one of those old animated films you've seen before waking up in Twisted Wonderland, but the resemblance was simply uncanny. The feeling of warm gold gripping at your wrists made you grimace as you eyed its chain leading back to a haughty Jamil, seated upon the lavish cushions and fabrics. Students, or perhaps, slaves, tended to him from every corner, whether they were feeding him, fanning him, or guarding him. Luckily, at least he had some courtesy to let you keep your uniform, rather than give you a makeshift set donning Scarabia's colors.

God knows where Grim, Kalim, and the Octanivelle students were now. Wherever they were, you found some solace in knowing that Grim would at least remember you. If that direbeast were to ever make his way back, you would become his priority next to fixing this mess. The thought of not being rescued made you grimace, an expression that did not go unnoticed by this mockery of a Sultan.

The great Jamil spares your pitiful form a singular glance, piqued with amusement. "Prefect," The title slipped from his lips so smoothly, but the way he tugged you over with the chain was anything but gentle. Choking back a yelp, he watched as you scrambled to your feet and hurried to his side like his pet.

For a student with no magic, no family, and no knowledge of this world, it was a wonder that someone like you ended up in the eye of the hurricane. After all, Jamil thought of you to be insignificant to his wicked plan to usurp Kalim's position. It wasn't as if you had any real power to stop him, though he would be certainly amused if you tried to fight back. It would only give him a reason to put you back in your place.

Much to his surprise, however, you had been surprisingly obedient since he kept you captive and threw your companions to the other side of the realm. You did not wail or protest, nor did you struggle when he placed these chains on you. Instead, you watched along and nodded accordingly without rebellion.

And he adored every second of your obedience.

(Really, what else could you possibly do? There was too much risk in fighting back when Jamil looked like he could bite your head off! It wasn't obedience, it was absolute fright and wise decision making on your own reactions!)

Jamil was not too fond of you standing while he was lowered to the floor. With a single tug, you found yourself collapsed onto pillows, a knee trapped between Jamil's legs. Eyes wide, your cheeks had begun to burn red at how close he was, not to mention how your hands had been pressed to his chest. With a click of a tongue, Jamil raised a brow. "Clumsy." He allows you to readjust yourself, only satisfied when you sat on your knees with your hands clasped on your lap.

Perhaps that was the one thing he was intrigued by the most about you. Boring his dark eyes into yours, he leans into your stoic expression with a wicked smirk. He knows what you truly are, after all. "Delightful little thing, you are. You've seen right through my facades quicker than any of those buffoons ever had since my enrollment here." You cannot tell whether it is because of how close he was, or if it was because of his deduction, but he takes such amusement in the way your breath hitched.

"Pray do tell, what is it about you that gave you such foresight?" You swallow to yourself. Your lips had already parted but your teeth were clamped shut, as if you refuse to admit your secret. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Jamil appreciated your prolonged silence. A harsh hand gripped your cheeks, and you couldn't control yourself from reacting in pain. The viper forced you to look at him, and the snakes protruding from his body hissed and rattled with aggression. "You cannot fool me, prefect. I see right through you, even now." Still, he does not let you go. "To think that Azul fell for your naive and docile facade, he was a fool to let you retake Ramshackle dorm. I would have seen it coming a mile away."

You remain silent, pupils shrinking as he gripped your chin tighter. A grin of a snake overtook his features, and for a moment, you swear that his eyes were slitted too. "You and I, were are not so different." With his other hand, Jamil allowed his digits to play with the golden band around your wrist. "No one really knows what you're like. All they know is how agreeable and nice you are, and that is all that it takes to gain their trust." He gripped your wrist and suddenly, you find yourself pressed flush against the cushions and Jamil is on top, pinning you down as if you were prey. "Or maybe, that's all it took to gain more."

Still, you do not fight back. You stare at him with shock, frozen and uncertain on how to plan your next move. Jamil is looking for something on your expression, but not even he could force a reaction out of you. "Did you find me a fool, prefect? If one cannot wield magic themselves, surely, they can find others to wield it for them." His eyes narrowed with suspicion as his grip tightened even more. "You could have stopped with Housewarden Riddle, but you had wormed your way into Savanaclaw and Octanivelle. And now, you are trapped here with me." Jamil lowered himself into your ear, and you can feel that sinister smile.

"You and I are the same. I don't need my unique magic to make you admit it." It takes everything in your power to keep yourself from correcting him. A man who has worn a mask his entire life, and you, who only learns to adapt accordingly. He, who yearns to be something he can never be allowed to be, and you, who has been struggling to blend into a world that did not belong to you. You are not him and he doesn't seem to realize that. After all, when you live with envy, it becomes easy to believe that everyone out there is aching to be more than what they already are.

"What did you hope to gain from me?"

As much as you wanted to reply, you saw a glimpse of teal hair from the corner of your eye. Then you spot two heads of teal, and that fedora hat. Hiding your relief and excitement, you avert your attention back to Jamil. Holding back a gulp of courage, you sighed in an affectionate tone. “Jamil,” You breathed out, turning slightly to shield his view. “I never realized how attractive it was when you took what was entitled to you.” You felt him stiffen before he shifted towards you, almost suspicious of your words.

In an attempt to feed the lie, you mustered wonder into your eyes and smiled in triumph. "I did not hope to gain anything from you, Jamil. Rather, I was just looking for the right person to admire." You could sense that there was still distrust in his gaze, but nonetheless, he did not pull away. Instead, he allows a hand to play with your cheek, toying with your starstruck expression. "Go on." He purred, as if he were trying to milk more honeyed words from your lips.

And you would indulge him. "Riddle was only a little boy with a temper. A housewarden with such a short fuse would forever be blinded by his rage. An impulsive boy he was, and even now." You lie cleanly, leaning into his warm touch. He hummed, seemingly pleased. "Leona wouldn't care less about matters within his dorm unless it were to challenge his pride. He will forever be indulged in sloth. He knows nothing about hard work." It hurts you to say such things about your friends, but seeing Floyd give you a thumbs up from afar as he snuck through the crowd had eased the guilt.

Jamil is smiling now, allowing a hand to play with your hair. "What can I say about Azul?" You paused for a moment, watching as your friends halted from behind a pillar as you mentioned the Octanivelle housewarden. You sucked in a breath, and hummed condescendingly. "He is nothing without victims, and without his contracts, he is just as insignificant as everyone else without power." Jamil barks harsh laughter at your words, almost surprised himself but your 'true nature'. Luckily for you, he was so distracted by his wicked laughter that he does not notice you screaming a silent apology to a seemingly offended Azul.

Once he composed himself, however, his face darkened as he forced you to meet his gaze with a slight tug of the chain. “And Kalim?” His voice cut through the silence like the sharp end of the knife. For a moment, you swore you were going to falter into fear. “What of Kalim?” Jamil hissed, growing more agitated at the thought of his supposed master. Instead, you stare at him with narrowed eyes, mimicking his scorn. “A foolish boy who is undeserving of his position.”

You allow an impulsive hand to cup his cheek, and luckily, the gesture was welcomed. “It was a relief to see someone so capable take his place.” You sang with a villainous smile, fooling the viper perfectly. "You and I saw how he managed this place. If he was given a kingdom, it would have collapsed under his weight." Jamil shuddered as your hand trailed from his cheek to his neck, down to his collarbones. "It was not too hard to see who was truly ruling Scarabia. I knew immediately who was bringing glory to the name."

Hook, line, and sinker. Jamil fell for every bit of the act.

"Oh? You sing such sweet words, prefect. I prefer this 'honest' you. Perhaps I should keep you in a cage." Jamil relaxed onto his side, his back turned against the rebels who are attempting to hide behind the next pillar. Your attention on them was returned to Jamil as he leaned in close to you, sneaking himself into the crook of your neck. You felt his hand dance along your hip to your waist, making you shudder in his presence. "Wouldn't you like that, prefect? You would never have to pretend again." You find yourself biting on your lower lip as you nodded slowly. "Only for you, Jamil. You are the only one who saw through me." You breathed out as he looked at you once more, barely closing in the gap between your faces.

"Master, prefect." He smirked so boyishly for a moment, and it was enough to make your face red. "Call me 'master'." Your eyes fluttered shut on instinct as his lips finally touched yours, demanding just as the giver was. You felt your heart stop and your neck grow warm as he pushed into you, lowering you both until your head hit the cushion.

If your eyes were open, perhaps you would see the Leech brothers share stunned yet amused expressions at the sight. Kalim was certainly puzzled, maybe a bit scandalized and confused by the sight of Jamil being so forward. Grim and Azul could only stare with their jaws hung until Grim clumsily found himself stumbling onto a table with metal platters that fell with a loud clang!

The spell you had trapped Jamil in had broken in that moment. Eyes snapping alert, Jamil jolted up and whipped his head forward. "What was that?" He gritted out, about to look in the direction of the Leech twins before you yanked on his neck, pulling him back down. "Master, please let me have more." You murmur hastily as you forcibly wrapping your arms around his neck. With urgency, you pull him back into another kiss, rougher than the previous. Whatever resistance Jamil had in the beginning had immediately melted away as he fought against you, prying away your dominance and returning it to his hands that massaged and played with your hips. Purring into your touch, Jamil smiled against your lips. "What an honest pet." He murmured before diving in for more.

With dizzying affection, you lost yourself into Jamil. Perhaps he did not need his unique magic after all to draw out such a secret desire. However, you do hope that Azul and Kalim figure something out sooner before Jamil's hands wander any further from your hips. If you remember exactly how the story was supposed to end, the Great Seven only knew what was going to happen if you never got rescued.

⟡ a/n: well well isn't it almost winter? here's a summer fic to tease your longing for a hot day w taesan

────────────── ✦ ⁺. ──────────────

It's an excrusiatingly hot summer day. The couch feels overly warm, leaving a print of sweat on the brown leather when touched. You look at Taesan, who's busy playing mario kart sitting beside you sucking on a lemon popsicle. Both of his hands are busy fidgeting with the joystick, while his ice lolly is resting prettyily between his plush lips.

He gazed over at you through his curtain bangs to see you drooling. He deducted it might be the frozen treat, and not you thirsting over your cute roommate who you have the hots for. "It's in the fridge, there are lots of flavours" he says with a playful tone; his lemon tainted tongue peeking from between the words. You rush over to the fridge to grab the one you like, strawberry rush. You suit yourself on the couch again, legs folded not to draw attention to your scant silk shorts. But something tells you his eyes took a peak. You fixate on the lolly, putting your almost soaked hair in a bun, while it rests between your lips.

A sweatdrop runs down your neck and you can still feel the burning stare. "Enjoying the sight?" You give a teasing stare to taesan and he is flabbergasted. He furrows his eyebrows, "As if" paying attention to the game again. You start licking it with your tongue, brushing back and forth, sucking it occasionally. Taesan takes glances at you from playing the game, how exposed your legs look from thighs down. How the messy hair frames your face and the thin top becomes transparent due to sweat. Your tongue gets tainted with bright pink from the lolly, so does his mind with unknown colors.

And a rush, a subtle rush bubbling from inside. He bites down his treat to supress the forbidden thoughts. You, moderately oblivious to the fact, enjoy sucking yours. Taking in the cold it has to suffer, your throat feels finally at peace. Taesan notices your flushed cheeks, crafted by the heat. You look cute. He bites his tongue facing his own thought. He shakes his head and tries focusing on the game again. It doesn't get any better when you are savouring it furiously, sucking it whole and taking eager bites. Fixing your bangs with the back of your palm and he can't help but gulp down. How it'll feel having his length around your mouth- he bites his bottom lip and focuses on the game again.

The lolly leaks some drops and makes its way on your crop top, right on the crook of your chest, making a mess. Spreading even more when you fix it with your lolly smothered fingertips. Taesan noticing the sight, takes a tissue and presses it. You get startled at the sudden movement but only keep licking your lolly as it drips down more. He starts cleaning it, dabbing it softly and soaking up the fluid.

But his eyes get stuck at your swollen pink lips. You accidentally catch him on the spot and your lips form a smirk. "What?" you ask with a sneer. "Nothing" he says coldly, still cleaning your top. "Want a taste?" you speak directly looking into his boba pearl eyes, almost at the end of his wit. You are pretty sure you implied having a taste of the lolly and not your lips which he is brutally pressing againt his at the moment. His hands slides down to your palm holding the lolly, it drips on his thumbs but who's taking count of that when he's busy exploring the insides of your mouth. His tongue darts inside, taking over yours in a winning fight of control. You close your eyes, shock melting away at sense of his luscious lips.

The room fills with erotic sounds, he takes in the tangy starwberry scent as he captures your lips from one side to another in a hungry pace.

"I want to do so much more to you." He whispers, pulling back from you with a string of saliva, leaving you wanting for more. His cold fingertips sliding under the back of your top and teasing the skin beneath. Your breath hitches at the sound, you start to get nervous.

Taesan was madly enjoying it, like a payback for all the taunts you give him. "What, you don't like the way you're feeling right now?" He questions, his eyes blazing with a glint, you can't quite figure out. "Because I can see how turned on you are." His hand cups your breast, thumb rubbing over the hardened nipple through your shirt. "Your body is already responding to me" You close your eyes in pleasure, only sparing the approval "fuck, taesan.." He pulls you closer, his lips crash down at your once again. He pulls your peak with this thumb and index, rolling it in between. "I want all of you" he murmurs against your ears. His hand slides down to your thigh, hitching it up around his waist.

He moves his hand back up to your breast, squeezing lightly before sliding his hand down between your legs. You lightly moan his name "taesan.. " a plead, more so an invitation to finally ruin whatever was casual and repressed between you two. You rest your hands on his chest when he rubs against your clit firmly through the shorts, applying just the right amount of pressure.

"I can tell you're soaked for me already". "that feels so good.." you let your thoughts out verbally, he increases his pace with a smirk. His other hand teases your nipples, making it portrude outward. His thumb, lulls down your folds in between, to edge you further. You throw your head back, a certain annoyance playing on your eyebrows, for, you want to reach the high he's denying. "Faster" you say with a desperate need and he can't help but scoff. "You want me so bad? Say, please then" he asks removing your top.

".. taesan" you hold his wrist, as he deliberately slows down more. "I said, please"

"Please.."

"Should've said so" he strokes your clit in a haste, engulfing one of your nipple in his mouth. It draws a circular motion, smothering it with his saliva. The panties end up on the floor moments after. He inserts his middle, followed by his ring finger and pushes through. You throw your head back again, he continually moves it around your hole. You grab his hair, interwining in a tangled way with his soft strands, reaching your high. He sees your breath rising, your abdomen going up and down. He thrusts it this time with more urgency, then your back arches, giving you that sweet release. Your mind goes into the oblivion. He massages the area to ease you up, before parting with your folds and your release on top of his index. He gently licks it off, staring at you mischievously, "Tastes like strawberries"

[rollinouttahere-writes]

I kind of wanna see Lizard (Nubia)'s and Crocodile's confrontation and I wanna see Luffy's reaction to seeing his little sister again.

Have a drabble

When Crocodile said that he would be gone for the rest of the day, Nubia hadn't thought much of it. It wasn't the first time, and she's sure that it wouldn't be the last. He's a busy man, and she has long since come to accept the schedule that comes with that. So, she did what she usually does when he's gone and finds ways to entertain herself. She was in the middle of reading a new book when she heard the front door slam open so hard that she half expected to hear the door fall off the hinges and hit the ground next.

For a moment, terror grips her heart, fully believing that someone just broke into her home.

But then, the heavy and familiar steps of her father echoes through the pent house. They sound off, though. Like he's staggering and disoriented. Nubia is frozen for a moment, but the sound of the door to Crocodile's office opening and closing snaps her out of it. In an instant, she's scrambling off of her bed and sprinting out of her room, fearing the worst. Was her father injured? Who could have possibly been strong enough to harm him?

As she's rounding the corner of the hallway that will take her to his office, she trips over something. She stumbles, but is able to catch herself before she can hit the ground. She whips her head around to see what tripped her, and she's confused by what she sees.

A single sandal is laying in the hallway.

Nubia bends down to grab it. The shoe doesn't belong to her, and it's far too small to be Crocodile's. Not to mention very much not his fashion.

Now Nubia was questioning her deduction that Crocodile was the one who had burst in here. The footsteps had sounded like his in terms of weight... but where the hell did this random sandal come from?

Crashing and muffled yelling comes from the office, making Nubia flinch. Clutching the shoe in her hand, she creeps towards the office door. She takes a deep breath, then cracks the door open to peek in.

Sure enough, she does see Crocodile. He's hunched over on the floor, appearing to be fighting with something- no, someone. Wiry limbs flail behind her father's hulking frame. One of the legs kicking out sticks out to her. The foot is bare.

Was this person where the shoe came from? And why the hell is her dad fighting with someone in his office? Not only that, but he looks like he's genuinely struggling to suppress them. Whoever this person is, they sound furious. They're yelling and screaming, but it sounds like something is in their mouth.

Nubia pushes the door open, worry winning out over her knowing that Crocodile would absolutely not want her to intervene. She calls out to him, "Dad? What's going on? Are you hurt?"

Crocodile's reaction is instant. In a second, his coat is ripped off and forced over the writhing human on the floor. He whips around, uncharacteristically frazzled. His hair is disheveled and his face is bruised. He looks furious and snaps at her, "Get out! Go back to your room!"

The raised voice of her father makes her jump and lock up. While her brain tries to make sense of and rationalize this behavior, the person under the coat manages to poke their head out from under it.

Lizard can't breathe.

Everything stops as she stares at the boy, making eye contact with him. There's a scar under his left eye... and a straw hat with a red band on it. Nubia feels like the air around her is thick enough to cut with a knife and impossible to breathe. In lieu of words, all she can do is shakily point at him as her brain is running in a million directions all at once. He... He can't be...

The boy takes advantage of Crocodile being distracted to kick him in the face and lunge towards her, though he's unable to go far thanks to the handcuffs chaining him to a fixture on the wall. He spits out the handkerchief in his mouth and screams desperately, "Nubia!"

Crocodile quickly recovers from the kick and lurches forward, wrapping his hand around the boy's throat and slamming him against the wall.

"Luffy!" That's him. That's her brother. That's her very real brother. She runs forward and grabs Crocodile's shoulders, trying to pull him off of her long lost brother. "Let go of him! You're hurting him!"

Her attempts do absolutely nothing. Crocodile effortlessly shoves her back, making her fall to the floor. This doesn't stop her, and she quickly tries a new approach. She snatches up the half empty pitcher of water on the floor and throws the contents right at her father, making sure to soak him as much as possible.

The water successfully weakens the devil fruit user enough for Nubia to knock him to the ground, freeing Luffy from his grasp. She can hear Luffy coughing and gasping behind her, but her full attention is on her father.

She grabs the front of his vest and holds him in place. Raw, emotionally charged screams erupt from her throat, "You lied! You lied to me! You said I imagined them!"

Crocodile's eye twitches, and his arm snaps forward to wrap around her middle and pin her against him. Nubia pounds her fists against his chest uselessly as he stands up and carries her over to his desk. His hand rips open a drawer and pulls out a pair of handcuffs before dragging Nubia to the opposite side of the room.

Luffy has his feet against the wall, straining against it as he frantically tries to break the fixture he's attached to. He's drenched in sweat and looks haggard, like his energy is actively being drained from him. He snarls and yells at Crocodile, "Don't touch my sister! I'll kick your ass if you hurt her!" He aggressively yanks at his cuffs again, "Actually, I'm going to kick your ass no matter what!"

Nubia was fighting just as hard, punching and kicking her father wildly in a desperate attempt to free herself. Crocodile doesn't react to either of them, instead silently focusing on handcuffing her to a handle on a filing cabinet.

The second that he steps back, Nubia is yanking on it, trying to get it to move. Much to her dismay, it's too heavy and doesn't even budge. She snaps her head up at her father, glaring at him. She starts yelling again, "How could you?! You've lied to my face every damn day for the last ten years!"

Much to her fury, Crocodile ignores her. He wipes at his face with his sleeve, trying to dry up the water she dumped on him. He stomps over to his desk and takes out a cigar, lighting it hastily. He takes long drags from it while refusing to acknowledge either of the infuriated teenagers chained up in his office.

His seemingly nonchalant attitude only fueled the fire raging inside of Nubia. After a series of increasingly violent tugs on the filing cabinet, she refocuses on her father and screams at him, "I hate you!"

Crocodile still has his back to her, but she doesn't miss the slight way that his shoulders tense. He exhales a cloud of smoke, then responds in a tone so cold that it stabs her in the heart, "I don't care." He finally turns to face her, and his expression matches his voice fully. "I don't care if you hate me. You'll get over it. This is all one big misunderstanding. I'm doing all of this for your own good. Everything that I've ever done has been for your own good."

While Nubia is stunned by his words, Crocodile swipes a few more cigars from his desk and heads for the door, walking right past Luffy who lunges at him again despite not being able to even come close to reaching him.

Before leaving, he turns to regard Nubia again, "I have to get back to work. We'll discuss this later." With that, he leaves, slamming the door behind him.

Hot, frustrated tears pour down Nubia's face as the crushing weight of everything that just transpired bears down on her. Most of her god damned life had been a lie, and she's terrified to learn what else isn't true.

It feels like the world is caving in on you. The ceiling is about to fall down and crush you under its weight.

The voices of those around have all mixed and faded into each other into a jumble of noise. You don’t quite know what Lily is saying, not even sure what Marlene is doing; you can hardly see anything.

A laughable attempt at taking a breath has you panicking more and you stumble out of Alice’s living room and onto her front patio as hot, salty tears sting your face.

The reason as to why you’re suddenly in this state has you confused. One moment, you’re fine and the next, you’re in full breakdown mode.

Fresh air. That’s usually all you need. You let the scent of pine fill your lungs, grounding yourself on the railing. You’re fine, you try to repeat to yourself. You’re fine.

“Hey,” a voice calls out. You whip around and spot a head of dark curls and pretty hazel eyes.

Him. You don’t know whether you’re happy or sad about his presence. There’s a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and he looks gorgeous as ever.

You’ve liked James a long time. Much too long. He’s liked Lily for longer.

You’re sure he knows about your feelings, you’d done a poor job at keeping them secret, and you’d be surprised if at this point he was unaware.

Remus knows because you’d confided in him first. He was sweet about it, stroking your hair and whispering kind words in your ear. Sirius knows from the “powers of deduction”, as he likes to call it.

“Hi,” he says, putting the cig between his fingers, flicking the ash off.

“Hi,” you reply, a little breathless.

He walks over to you, assessing your state. “Are you alright?”

He’s always been awfully caring. It’s half the reason you like him more than what’s healthy.

James knows your ins and outs. Your family history, all your favourite movies, how many freckles you have. He’s committed every part of you to memory.

He treats you like you’re fragile, like a porcelain doll. As if you’d break when dropped.

Maybe it’s self-righteousness. Maybe he’s doing it out of pity. Though, in this moment, it feels anything but.

“Just fine,” you whisper, staring at him so deeply it’s embarrassing.

“You ran off.”

You laugh a humourless laugh. “Did I?”

James nods, looking like he’s inspecting you. It makes you feel a little self-conscious.

A smile creeps across your face. It’s really only to conceal the awkwardness. “What?”

“I think we’re past the point of pretending everything is alright when it isn’t,” he says, matter-of-factly. “Will you tell me what happened?”

The bluntness of his words makes you nervous. He’s not typically so forward.

“I was overwhelmed.”

His arms lace around your shoulders. “Okay,” he whispers. “Okay, let’s go, then,” he says, decidedly.

It’s a tempting offer. Being dragged away from all the noise and instead spending the night with James, but you don’t want to disrupt his evening with your feelings. He likes these people. He’s comfortable with them. He’s not like you, you say to yourself.

“No. I’m fine, James, really. Please don’t worry yourself.”

“I was kind of getting tired anyway. We can grab food and you can sleep at my place for the night, hm?” he insists, putting out his cig.

He’s doing it again. That thing where he’s just being so considerate and kind to the point that it bothers you.

“I..” you trail off, looking at the stars instead of his eyes. They’re both really beautiful.

“I’d like for you to come with me, sweetheart. Let’s get away. Just for a bit,” he tries again, gently tilting your face towards his.

You’re going to come with him. You were going to the first time he asked, no matter what, but you need to hear that he wants it.

You crack a smile. “Okay.”

Before midnight, you’re in his car. It’s a bit beaten up and the engine takes a couple of tries before it starts, but it’s a charming vehicle. He’s ordering fries for you, doing all the talking you’re so hesitant to.

There are muffled voices over the speaker. “Just a moment.” James turns to you. “Want a coke, baby?”

You nod, tapping your fingers on the window and fumbling with the button of your seatbelt.

He hands you a paper bag.

“Thank you, James. I’m sorry you’re stuck with me instead of with Lily at the gathering.”

His face contorts into a look of slight confusion as he grabs a fry from your hand. “Why would I want to be with Lily?” It’s not that he doesn’t want to hang out with Lily, it’s just that you could’ve asked about Sirius or Remus or even Frank.

“I mean, you like her, don’t you?” you say, voice quivering. Afraid of the answer.

“She’s a nice girl.” It’s not a no. You’re crushed. You nod your head like you’re unsurprised.

A forced smile makes its way onto your lips. “You two would look good together,” you say, hushed.

His brow quirks. “What? No.” It comes out a little sharp, and he immediately softens. “No, it’s not like that. Sorry.”

“Oh.” You hate yourself for it, but you feel your body immediately relax in relief.

Now he’s the uneasy one. His fingers are tapping on the steering wheel and he’s clearly purposely avoiding your gaze.

“Listen—“

“—I’m sorry,” you cut him off. “Sorry, you first.”

The car comes to a stop at some dark parking lot. James turns to face you. “What are you apologising for?”

Even you’re not too sure. It’s a mix of a few things; Lily, forcing him to stay with you, your anxiety, interrupting him, even. A general apology for your.. you-ness.

“All this. I just want you to be happy, James. I’m really sorry for always making you do this. Comfort me whenever I’m overwhelmed like that.”

He blinks. “I’m happy when I’m with you, sweetheart. Why don’t you understand that I enjoy doing this? I love when we escape from those dumb gatherings and do shit like this. I love it. I love you, damn it.”

Your heart drops. No, it stops. He had to be drunk. He was driving under the influence, surely. A crime. That’s a felony. Your head was absolutely spinning.

You don’t know what to do but stare blankly at him as his face asks you to just say something.

“What?”

“I love you! I don’t even know where you got that whole Lily thing. I love you! It’s always been you!”

Well, shit.

You lower your voice to a whisper. “So do something about it, Potter.”

And he does.

hey! idk if u take requests still? but i have a OTM request, it’s ok if this stays collecting dust in your inbox but…

I was wondering if u had any headcanons or a drabble on R & Wands’ first time together ?

personally i feel like it would’ve been awkward because R would try to initiate it but also try be respectful and embarrass themselves a lot and obviously both of them get nervous about the first time so it’s just shambles and they forget how their limbs work for a good five minutes lol but when they get into it it’s amazing and just how they’d imagined it to be

So Close

warnings: language, mild sexy times, Wanda being a tease, r being a horny mess, fluff, angst and smut… also not proof read

a/n: decided to make this request two parts. Set after this, but can be read alone!

Word count: 3k

Kissing Wanda is your favourite thing.

There has never been a time in your life where you would actively seek out something as much as Wanda’s kisses.

She’s soft. She’s sweet. She always has them readily available for you if you ask. Small pecks in greeting. Lingering ones for departures. And any and all others for the in betweens.

Your favourite ones, if you had to choose, were the tired morning ones. Where her lips were still puffy from sleep and her body was warm from a night under the covers. You could stay like that forever. Holding her against your pyjama covered torso, legs intertwined with one another.

But if you were really being honest with yourself, it was just the morning sun and the chance to feel your girlfriend against you that made the morning so bearable. It’s the way the bottom of her sleep shirt barely covers the edge of her ass when she gets up to start the day. It’s the way she looks back at you over her shoulder, green eyes glimmering in the light. It’s the way you see her silhouette in the fitted glass of the bathroom door as she strips and showers mere feet from you.

A very primitive perspective. But you have to live off of whatever crumbs you’re given.

You’d called Wanda a few days after your first date. She said she was starting to worry that you wouldn’t want to see her again. You almost laughed because that was the furthest thing from your mind. You’d see her every second of the day for the rest of your life if you could.

So the date was arranged, the aquarium had been a good choice it seemed because when you made it back to her apartment she pulled you closed and attached your lips to hers.

It was messy. All teeth and saliva as your tongue swiped against hers. All your trust was given to the women pressed against you as she manvouvered you through the space. You’d deducted she’d led you to the kitchen when your back hit the edge of what felt like a worktop. There wasn’t a bone in your body that gave a damn where you were. As long as this carried on you could be dragged to hell and back for all you cared.

And for a brief second you thought that had actually happened. That some higher being had heard you and had made Wanda stop sliding her lips against yours to make you pay your end of the bargain. Her mouth was off yours in a second. Her hands moved to your chest to keep you at bay as you searched for her lips again. It was a small chuckle that brought you back to reality.

She was flushed a subtle pink. Her lips red from you sucking on them. Her hair slightly out of place and it was the most beautiful sight you had ever come across. Automatically you tried to lean in again but her palm was still firmly keeping you at a safe distance.

“I know I said I’d make an exception, but I think I’m already falling for you and I really don’t want to mess this up” she’d said as she adjusted the collar of your shirt back to rights. “I want everything to be perfect”

You nodded. Of course you did. You’d move mountains for her if she’d ask. So the small task of waiting until the right moment was the least you could do. Even if that did mean having to watch her flaunt around half naked in the morning sun.

-

The day had been relatively boring.

It was a Saturday so that meant Wanda stayed over with the intention of keeping you to herself for the whole weekend. Making the most of your identical Monday to Friday, nine to five jobs.

You were sat at the breakfast bar, sipping coffee and scrolling through your tablet as your girlfriend stood at the stove. She’d gotten changed into some sweats and another one of your old college T-shirts. And even though her ass was now covered, you still were treated to the sight of her moving swiftly around your kitchen with a grace you didn’t know was possible. It made you weak at the knees.

Or perhaps it was how she licked her slender fingers clean of pancake batter that made your heart race.

She must’ve known what she was doing because she caught your eye before she turned back away from you. All smirk and tease.

“Wanda, come here, I’ve got something to tell you” you find yourself saying suddenly.

“Hmm?” She responded, still facing the other way.

“Look at me baby, it’s important”. And it must’ve been because she heard you lock the tablet and place your mug on the marble countertop.

Wanda plated the pancake in the pan and turned the heat off. Turning to find you looking a little upset.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, I’ve just got something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a little while”

Wanda wasn’t a particularly paranoid person, but there was something about your sudden need to get whatever it was off your chest that made her nervous. So in some sort of subconscious comfort, she rounded the kitchen island and placed herself snugly in your lap. To her pleasure, your hands wrapped around her, keeping her close.

“I’ve got to go on a work trip in a couple of weeks”

“Oh, okay” relief flooded through her body. “I thought you were gearing up to break up with me or something”

“I’ll be gone for a month”

Oh

You could feel Wanda tense under your touch. See her brows furrow in concern as she processes what’s you’ve said, figuring out what that could mean for the two of you.

“A whole month?”

“I tried to get out of it, but you know what Tony can be like. I doubt he even needs me there. I’ll probably just be a glorified PA”

Wanda didn’t say anything, and that worried you. You thought you’d given ample time to let her know. Perhaps not.

She went to move off of you, you let her.

“I-, I'm not sure if I can go without seeing you for that long” she admitted and your heart both sank and soared at the same time.

She looked so small when she was vulnerable.

“I don’t want to leave you. I even considered asking you if you’d come with me” you couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

The stool you were sat on scraped the floor as you stood. Making you wince at the high pitch noise echoing through the room. You watched Wanda as she shuffled from foot to foot in front of you. You’d never seen her like this. Her always positive, confident personality had been replaced by something you didn’t recognise in her.

“Move in with me”. The words stumbled out of your mouth without a second thought. Nor really a first one. The idea had been swimming in your mind, but only as a hypothetical. A scenario for something later down the line. But with the thought of being away from her longer than a few days, and her reaction to the news, why not move things along?

“Y/N, I don’t- I can’t just move in. I’ve got a lease” she mumbled.

“I’ll get Tony to pay any contract fees. It’s his fault anyway, that I have to leave you. Let me sort this, please? Move in with me”

You’d found yourself gravitating towards her. Like a planet orbiting the sun. She grounded you. Balanced you. Made you a better person.

“Move in with me” you said again, quilter this time. Almost a whisper as you wrapped your arms around her waist.

“Move in with me”. Once more, when she brought her arms around your neck. Your arms slid lower, encouraging her to jump up and wrap her legs around your middle.

“Move in with me”, it was a mantra you breathed as you walked her back towards the bedroom. The morning sunlight higher than it was an hour or so ago. The rays causing rainbow coloured patterns to bloom on your walls as they shine through the window.

Wanda still hadn’t spoken. She didn’t need to. The fervent nodding of her head was enough of an answer. The repetitive brush of her hair against the side of your face. The wet spot that had gathered on your shoulder from her tears. Happy you hope.

Her back hit the mattress with a soft thud. Her hair, now dry from the shower, fanned out beside her in a halo. A look only ever fit of an angel.

“I love you” she chokes out finally. Voice wet and raspy with emotion.

“Let me love you? Before I leave”

Another nod, accompanied by the subtle act of biting her lip between her teeth.

God, she was gorgeous. Any other time you’d be mesmerised by her. How her soft stomach had been revealed slightly as your shirt rose up her body. Her green eyes full of endless wonder in the crisp yellow wash of the room. Though this wasn’t the time to thank your lucky stars.

You leant forwards and kissed her neck hastily. Arms either side of her head, knees guiding her own legs further apart to accommodate you. Your movements weren’t slow. Your kisses were greedy and desperate.

Your lips left wet marks in her skin. A trail of saliva from her collarbone, up to her neck and around back to her lips. She kissed you like it was going out of fashion. All wet noises and moans into open mouths.

There was a sudden need that filled you. You needed to see her fully. She needed to be naked, to be bare for you. It wouldn’t be the first time, but this was under new circumstances. Not better, just different and exciting. You felt fizzy at just the idea of it.

Sitting back on your haunches, you make a start on removing her clothing. Untying the knot that we’re keeping her sweats up. Pulling them down as soon as they were loose enough. Shaking hands moving up to help her remove her shirt. Almost short circuiting when her breast filled your vision.

Like a teenage boy, that’s all you could look at. Not wanting to blink in case it was a dream and you’d imagined the whole thing. She had freckles on her chest. Perhaps from the day you’d both spent at the county fair. Her tank top low to keep her cool.

“Staring is rude, you know?” She informs you. You’re not sure how long you were gawking at her.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t-“

“I’m joking. You make me feel sexy when you stare. It’s like I’m the only person you see”

“You are. Fuck, you are Wanda”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah baby. You’re the only girl I want. That’s it, you’re stuck with me”

It was Wanda who closed the gap this time. Leaning up from her position to press her lips against yours. All semblance of restraint fled your body.

Your hands grasped at the corners of whatever clothing she had left on. Just her panties you realised as lace was the only thing the tips of your fingers touched. You didn’t notice how much your hands were shaking until they were anchored by the soft plains of Wanda’s body.

She helped you too. Her craving for your skin against her too overwhelming to ignore. Your sleep shorts and ratty old gym top found the pile on the floor before you could protest. Not that you ever would.

“I wanna eat you out so bad” you breathed. It was brazen of you to admit really, but it was true.

Wanda laughed at that. Not a cute behind the hand chuckle, an actual snorting laugh that made you stop your administrations on her neck and pull back to look at her, confused.

“I’m sorry” she gasped, forcing herself to breath in between snorts, “but-, but I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say that since I was in high school”

“Oh. Because like, you’ve not had sex since then? Or something?”

“Baby, you really think I’ve not slept with anyone in five years?”

“I don’t know, haven’t you?”

Why is this now the topic of conversation? Why were you still talking?

“I hate to break it to you, but I have slept with several other people before you, I'm afraid. And most of them have been out of high school”

“Can we get back to the kissing now?” Your body spiked with jealousy at her mentioning being with others in the past. Not that you’d thought you were taking her virginity. That was far from the truth, but you also don’t want to think about other people touching what was yours.

“Don’t tell me you’re jealous”

“I’m not jealous” you countered, pushing forward to try to connect your lips again. But her hand on your shoulder stopped you from approaching further.

“Wanna talk about it?” She didn’t mean it really. Her smirk told you so. She was teasing and you didn’t know whether you should be turned on or annoyed.

“No, I don’t want to talk about it. I want to fuck you”

Wanda’s eyebrows raised at your words. Maybe in shock, maybe not. Either way the blush on her cheeks traveled down her neck and coloured her chest, leaving you both smug and slightly embarrassed at your own bluntness. “Sorry, ah. Manners. Can I fuck you? Please?”

“Well, just because you asked so nicely”

Your hands left their position by your side and gently placed them back onto Wanda’s legs. Massaging the back of her calves with them. Tracing patterns along her skin as they journeyed up her body. You squeezed her thighs gently when you got there. Flicked her nipples when they pebbled under your palms. Pulled the hair at the base of her neck, tilting her head to the position you wanted it to be when you kissed again.

She moaned into your mouth when you nipped at her bottom lip. A small subtle thing that you knew you’d never get tired of hearing.

You slotted a knee between her legs. Pressing it against her just enough to have her rolling her hips over it. Letting the friction take her that little bit higher.

She was warm all over. She was radiating love and calmness even as your lips left hers to follow the blush down her neck. Hitching her breath when you sucked a nipple. Biting her lip when you played with the other. You licked her sternum when you passed it. Pecked the freckles on her abdomen when you found them. Her nails left crescent moons in your skin when your breath danced over her center. Anticipation getting the better of her.

“What are you waiting for?” She breathed. Chest heaving and watching you with hooded eyes as you laid there and admired her.

“Nothing, just looking. Can I?” You liked your lips after you asked. Mouth salivating with the knowledge she’d say yes and you’d get to taste her finally.

She didn’t say a word, she just grabbed your head and shoved your face into her. It was swift to a degree. No ifs or buts about any of it. And there would normally be no complaint from you, but when you heard a crunch as your face made contact with her. At first you thought it was her head hitting the headboard. But when you looked up and saw her eyes looking widely back at you, you realised something was wrong.

“Oh fuck”

“What? What happened?”

“Your nose, Jesus fucking Christ, you’re bleeding”

The hands that were once wrapped around her thighs came up to touch your face automatically. Fingers coming back painted with red.

Wanda scrambled off the bed, covers getting wrapped around her legs in an attempt to get to the bathroom. Her hand gripped your wrist as she went, pulling you off of the mattress unexpectedly. You didn’t have the best coordination on the best of days, and after smacking your face hard enough to make your nose bleed, it wasn’t a surprise that you lost your footing and fell face first into the shag rug on the floor.

“Okay, just stay there. Let me get some paper towels or something”

You groaned in defeat and listened out for the heavy slap of Wanda’s bare feet against the hardwood and tiled floor respectively and back again.

Warm hands grabbed at your body, pulling you up so your back was leaning against the frame of the bed. A soft towel pressed against your face. Fingers pinching your nose through the material.

Your eyes focused on a face close to yours. Knitted brows of concern and teary eyes filled your vision.

“I’m so sorry” Wanda breathed. Guilt evident in her voice as she tends to your wounds.

“Don’t be,” you started. Voice muffled coming through the thick fabric before pulling it gently away from your face. “It was an accident”

“It was stupid”

“No it wasn’t”

“You’re bleeding”

“And You’re stressing”

There was a brief pause before she let out a sigh. Slumping brown onto the floor next to you. The high sun giving light to her rosy cheeks and layer of sweat that coated her skin. Glistening like diamonds.

“I don’t want you to leave,” she said after a while.

“I don’t want to leave you. But I want you to be here when I get back. And we can call every day”

You’d grab her hands, but you’d get blood all over her. So you settled on resting your head on her shoulder. The blood from your nose since stopped spilling out. All that was left was a faint throb and the feel of betrayal coursing through your veins.

“Four weeks”

The words floated out of her mouth. A prayer of faith. Encouraging herself to not crumble at the thought of being away from you for so long.

Four weeks.

You sighed yourself.

MurderMystery

「探偵 場地！」

April29th, 2004

a/n: I felt inspired to rewrite this in a fun drabble idea♡ I was sad the opportunity was only given a five page spread, so I took matters into tutor!reader’s hands:)

shoutout to @tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang for kindly helping me locating the bonus chapter link, so I may refresh myself on all the specifics regarding the deduction quiz (spoiler; the only clue pointed out is the ‘murder tool’/pill bottle.)

before! › here! › after!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

*i am not a medical professional; all drug/medications/ailments are either made up or should not be looked into as truth!

To say the least , you were ecstatic when Ryusei recruited you for this role.

Based on how Chifuyu and he had explained it to you, Baji was actually excited to try solving a detective case of his own.

They had even already dragged the ever so willing Mitarai into this plan as well.

You and Mitarai were friends. The both of you were very good in academics, and keeping patience with the overzealous boys in front of you.

The two of you huddled together that same day, whispering to eachother different plans and hints to lay around as clues.

“So, who is the killer?” You asked the genuine poindexter.

You could tell he was flustered by your closeness. You didn’t mind though, nerds were cute.

Mitarai looked over your compiled notes in critical fashion. Collaborating back and forth on the matter, you truly felt like the case would be a hit.

After about a half hour of planning, giggling, and whispering to one another, you could feel a heavy presence looked over your back. Automatically breaking out into a smile, you threw your hands across the desk to hide all evidence.

“What’re you doing?” Baji asked, flat. It was a simple question, yet the dark glint of jealousy glared obvious.

You could tell Baji was addressing how close you had been getting to Mitarai, but you thought jealous boys were cuter; better to play coy.

“Creating an awesome case,” you admitted, pulling all the papers that littered your desk into one big pile, to which you organized out of his view. “I’m actually really excited to come up with this!”

Mitarai made an attempt in hopping into the conversation. “Y/n is quite good at this! She had written a sequence of events in only a matter of seconds. Though, I admit her knowledge in…. ‘forensics’ is a little unnerving.” he murmured.

You shrugged with pride, putting the papers into a manila folder, and into your bag.

“I’ll have the materials for the operation by tomorrow. I’m gonna go consult with the victim of this case~”

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

You bend down, checking for any sign of life. Your blood ran cold. “Detective, he…. He’s dead.” You announce to the room. Baji bends down, patting your arm so to dismiss you from the corpse. “This bottle looks suspicious…” he murmured seriously.

Chifuyu grinned wide at you and Mitarashi, giving a subtle thumbs up. You chose to remain in character, following the scripted dialogue you wrote and handed out yesterday (that everyone barely mesmerized in time).

Normally, Baji would love to solve this kind of thing on his own. But you knew better than anyone, that without direction, Baji would soon become irritable and fume with frustration. He just needed to notice the clues, without telling him he found a clue. Make it seem like he figured it out himself.

“Here is Sora Ijuuin’s file,” you handed Baji a small packet of paper, containing a profile shot of Chuu, some blurbs of false medical history, and reposts given by neighbors on the events leading up to the victim’s demise. “Please look over it carefully..”

“Thank you assistant.” He acknowledged shortly. Looking over the file, it took him a few minutes, but eventually he stood in haste.

Ijuuin Sora, date of birth: 03/07/1980, blood type: B, marital status: married.

- Statement given by Neighbor [1]: “That voice of his [Sora Ijuuin] sure does carry! Just three days ago, I could hear him fighting with someone clear down the street!”

- Statement given by Neighbor [3]: “Well , there has been a suspicious looking fellow visiting that house for the past month. He visits perhaps once a week. White hair, and dark skin. Suspicious!”

“Seems Chu had a few visitors before he bit it.” Baji said suspiciously. “Satou Ryusei, what business did you have with the victim three days ago?”

Baji thought he looked so cool, keeping his glare focused on the taller boy in the room.

Excellent. First step, make Baji suspect and snuff out all clues from innocent yet suspicious figures in the room.

Ryusei played it cool, a poker face striping him of all laughing matters. “Sora and I were colleagues. We had been collaborating on a project for about a month now. I came by to discuss these matters three days ago.”

“Sound reason. You say you were simply discussing, but neighbor complains state they heard loud arguing. You two must have had a disagreement.”

Baji’s cool demeanor slowly began showing more confidence as he made his case.

“We’re both particularly passionate fellows,” Ryusei suppressed a giggle. He may have thought your script was a little over the top. “We disagreed often. But our altercations were never very loud. We always came to sound conclusions.”

“And was that conclusion murder?” Baji asked accusatively.

“I would never!”

Baji hummed. Blaming Ryusei seemed too easy. And if he learned anything from his detective shows, never go with your first guess. So, eyeing the file again he read;

- Statement given by Neighbor [3]: “…his [Sora Ijuuin] wife and I only spoke on occasion. She told me they had been dating since high school. They had gotten together thanks to a mutual friend. […] Arguments with his wife have been consistent over the years, but for the last 6 months, they have been non-stop! They become progressively louder as days pass.”

- Statement given by Acquaintance [1]: “Sora? Yeah, he and some four eyes were friends back in high school. Though, he always seemed to have a thing for his girlfriend at the time. Guess they’re still friends, saw them hanging out recently. I heard four eyes became a doctor. Good for him.”

- Statement given by Neighbor [2]: “I’ve heard rumors about resident of that house becoming recently ill! A friend of his, I presume, has been visiting often to oversee his health. I hope he’s well?”

Based on this statement repost, Baji soon began concluding that it was perhaps Chu’s “wife” may be the murderer. However, reading further, he realized this to be impossible.

- […] After a particularly heated argument, {assumedly being the disagreement of Three Days ago}, eye witness repost conclude Wife had gone to stay with her mother three days ago.

Chifuyu caught your waiting gaze, and understood the subtle nod in his direction. Playing into the role, Chifuyu settled closer to the crime scene, eying the pill bottle.

“Cause of death, overdose? But with what? … Medication? Was Mr Sora ill?”

“My colleague often complained about suffering from unexplained migraines and severe nose bleeds. I recall him mentioning these symptoms began about three months ago.”

“He met quite frequently with his at home physician to determine a diagnosis.”

“Were the physician and victim on good terms?”

“Yes. In fact, neighbor reposts state they originally thought him an old familiar friend of the victim, with how often and friendly their visits.”

“Ah! Ijuuin and I have been friends for some years now, even before he requested I oversee his declining health.” Mitarai spoke up confidently.

A shock to everyone in the room, everyone stood silent. Baji’s judgemental gaze looked over the self proclaimed physician up and down, thinking of anyway to blame him.

Dense as he was, he nodded. “A nobel friend always sticks by his friend’s side. My condolences, doctor.” Baji turned, thinking to other matters at hand.

No!! Everyone internally yelled.

Mitarashi was practically trying to be blamed, at this point!! But Baji wasn’t taking the bait.

No matter, you sighed silently, planning your second hint.

“Looks like the only evidence useful to us is this pill bottle.” Baji interjected.

You handed Baji a plastic glove, insisting he wear it before touching any evidence. After doing so, he observed the bottle.

It was medicine, plain and simple. Without even so much as a label on the bottle, it was impossible to identify further than that.

“Detective,” Chifuyu whispered to Baji, just as you described he should do in the script. “I recognize the look of this pill. Its purpose is to increase blood flow, mostly aimed for anemic patients. It doesn’t match the name of the medicine typed on the pill bottle.”

Unfortunately, Baji had no idea what the fuck ‘an anemia’ even was.

“Doctor, if you could please elaborate, what diagnosis came of your time spent together?” You asked Mitarashi. He nodded in response.

“Ijuuin described having severe nosebleeds, following his migraines. I concluded he suffered textbook side effects of overexertion.”

A medication meant to increase blood flow for a patient with frequent nose bleeds? Baji finally started putting the clues together.

“Were you the one to prescribe this medicine, doctor?” Baji asked Mitarai.

Aha!!

Mitarashi purposely showed signs of nervousness. “Y-yes! That medicine is one that regulates migraines. I-it even says it on the bottle!”

Baji smirked, dropping the bottle into a plastic, held open by Chifuyu. “We’ll see what the forensic’s team has to say about that.”

Mitarai became anxious at the mention, but chose to keep quiet. Baji hadn’t earned a confession out of him yet.

Baji really had to think now. He had evidence, but no motive. What motive would a physician have to kill his own patient? One he seemed fond of, even.

The room grew quiet, and frustration was eating up Baji’s neck. How could he get the guy to confess?

And unfortunately for Mitarashi, when Detective Baji began to feel frustrated, he had a hard time putting a cap on his emotions. In fact, he physically couldn’t.

So of course, he resorted to intimidation.

“Speakin’ of forensics, back there, I noticed there’s a pill that’s been crushed up. Almost like it was stepped on. Saaay, doc, how bout I see the underside of those shoes, huh?” Baji grinned ear to ear, eyes creasing in one-sided victory.

Mitarai gasped, red faced and shaking. It was hard to tell if it was because he was in character, or genuinely scared of Baji’s terrifying aura.

“P-please sir! Spare me!” He yelled, backing up against the door quickly, showing the underside of only one of his shoes. “There’s nothing! See! Nothing!”

Baji shook his head, and in one quick motion, bent Mitarai’s standing knee. Unable to balance himself in time, the four-eyes fell to the floor with a scream. “Well what’da ya know? What’s this blue powder here? Think we’re gonna need to send this over too, Detective Matsuno.” He chuckled.

Surely this was enough to earn his confession.

“F-fine! I swapped the medication! I’ve been giving him medicine to make him sicker and sicker f-for the last five months… but-but! … I had to!” Mitarai crocked, crocodile tears falling down his face.

Damn, Mitarai sure knew how to act!! Who would have guessed…

“Well, spit it out.” Baji hurried.

Mitarai took a few deep breaths, increasing the reveals dramatic timing. “He made Hanako cry… I’ve… loved Hanako ever since I met her, you see!” Mitarashi looked away bashfully.

“Who’s Hanako? From the Toilet?”

“That’s the name of the victims’s wife. It’s on file.”

“…oh…”

“You’ve been friends with Mr Sora since high school?” You asked the clarifying question, which finally clicked in Baji’s mind.

“Yes! She always had eyes for the obnoxious types though… so, I waited… And just as I suspected, he began to mistreat her, all over petty misunderstandings and other stupid, meaningless things! They were fighting so often, Hanako finally reached out to me to ask for advise….

“I told her to give it time. I just needed a little time… make him sick, until he died of natural causes! Than she’d finally be free! So you see, it was out of love! And it worked!” Mitarai laughed, still hysterically crying. “He’s gone now, Hanako. She can be happy now, right detective?”

Baji’s face was cold at Mitarashi’s performance.

“That’s why?” He asked. “All over a girl? Seriously?” He clicked his tongue.

You frowned at his disgust.

“What a lame reason. Whatever, we got what we came here for. Matsuno, cuff this freak.”

And just as quickly, Baji’s victory became evident with such a wide grin. “Haha! I’m a genius! Bet ya didn’t think I’d notice that stepped on pill over there did ya?” He said in your face.

You laughed in unison, and rose your hand up to give him a big high five. “I’ll admit, I was wondering how long it would take you to notice, but I had faith in you, Detective!~”

The lot of you all cheered for Baji, making his ego soar all the more. But just as you thought to stop, that adorable toothy grin of his made you swoon all over again.

While he and Chu were laughing together, Ryusei took notice of your adoring stare, and melancholy smile. “You like him, don’t you?” He asked so very quietly. As much as you could act embarrassed and deny him, you knew it would be in vain. Ryusei knew. Your smile became more flatlined.

“I do… it’s one-sided, I know… but I’m happy where I am, for now.”

Ryusei watched as you tore your gaze away, distracting yourself with cleaning up the rest of the murder scene. Out of earshot, Ryusei chuckled. “One sided, huh… Can’t say I’m so sure of that.”

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯✦

Finally, after it was all said and done, the lot of you found yourselves shoved close into a booth at a local family diner. It was cheap and close by, but deserving enough for Detective Baji’s victory on his latest case.

“Still! That cheesy alibi was so over the top. Seriously, which one of you even came up with that crap?” Baji mulled over his drink, glaring at how closely sat you and Mitarai were sitting. You rolled your eyes. “Yeah yeah, just let it go already.”

“Mitarashi! Your acting was so good back there though, I almost thought you were really crying!” Chifuyu praised the four eyes beside him. “Thank you! I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off at first.”

Still dressed in the costumes stolenborrowed from the Drama Club, you all looked quite dashing and out of place in this family diner. But not a one of you seemed to care. Everyone was in high spirits.

Baji would occasionally bring up how ‘killing someone for a girl you like is so lame.’ And sure, he was right. It just made you all the more embarrassed that you were the one to come up with the dramatic idea. But that was the idea! Detective shows were dramas!

As everyone threw in their last praises and thoughts on the case, the natural urge to pee made itself known to you. Quickly excusing yourself, you shimmied yourself out from the booth. It hadn’t even been a few minutes before you were relieved and headed back for the table.

On your way to do so, some high school delinquent who clearly wasn’t paying attention to how much of the narrow walkway he was taking up, ended up smacking right dab into your shoulder. It wasn’t enough to make you fall backwards, but enough to lose your balance. What an asshole!

Yet, when you glared up for your rightfully owed apology, the high schooler kept walking. Baffled, you pursed your lips into a thin line. It probably wouldn’t do you any good to go after him. But that was way too rude!

Unbeknownst to you, the whole scene became a spectacle for your delinquent friend group. And they were Not having it. Most of all, Baji Keisuke. He practically hopped over the table to get out from the booth quicker— rather than waiting for whoever was on the outside to make way.

“Oi, asshole.” Baji seethed through his teeth. It was quiet, enough to not draw attention from everyone in the restaurant, at least. “Apologize, or we’re takin’ this outside.” He’d since grabbed the collar of the offending jerk.

The high schooler chuckled, not taking Baji all that seriously. “Yeah right, get lost pipsqueak.” He went to push Baji, who was a solid few inches shorter than him. Unfortunately, Baji took this personally.

Baji laughed at the audacity of this jerk, grabbing his arm hard, and twisting it behind his back. He wasn’t trying to cause a scene, but there he was, causing a scene.

You aught to stop him, but nothing you’d say would do you any good. “Stay here, this won’t take more than five minutes.” Baji had told you.

It didn’t take long for Baji to walk the punk outside of the family diner, around the front and into a less populated street.

Ryusei gave a shrug, and offered you a seat. “Leave him be, that’s just how he is.”

Chifuyu was tempted to follow his squad leader, but decided against it after seeing how anxious the whole situation was making you. “Maybe we should leave…” you mumbled. “No way, we just ordered while you were gone!” Ryusei patted your shoulder. Mitarashi was also a little unsettled, but tried not to show it.

“If anything, you should be glad Keisuke’s actually showing this much restraint. Normally. He’d have pummeled the poor guy in front of everyone and got us kicked out.” Ryusei sighed, as though that same scenario had just happened recently.

Just as Baji promised, he was back at the table in less than 5 minutes. “‘I miss anything?” He asked, a proud wide toothy smirk painting his features.

That proud look really suited him. Stop, why were you thinking about how cute he was at a time like this? Did you seriously find delinquency that attractive? Your heart felt like it’d beat out of your chest.

“Still think it’s one-sided?~” Ryusei whispered in your ear with a shit eating grin.

Your face went beat red.

“Hey, what’d I say about personal space asshole?” Baji cursed at his friend before pushing him hard.

“Sorry sorry~”

Hi there!! You cool with a daughter of Iris reader x Leo Valdez where Leo is stressed out about a project so y/n cheers Leo up by turning his project different colors and stuff? Thanks, have a great day!! Here, have a song rec too: Copacabana by Barry Manilow(English version)

Haven't written for pjo before... hoping i'll get leos character right💀🙏

TW/Info: none except FEM [Y/N], short drabble, fluff, max colors and set clothing ig😹

[--------------]

You've been a camper at Camp Half-Blood for awhile now, being a daughter of Iris, fighting wasn't really your strong suite, but you weren't weak either. You could keep yourself alive out there alone for a bit. Atleast.

And it has been a few days since you've seen your boyfriend, Leo, at all recently. You thought he might be at a quest or something, but after seeing Piper still at camp, you made the proud deduction that no quest has started without your knowledge.

So you decided that you'll raid the Hephaestus Cabin when you have the chance tomorrow... you were already laying in your bunk inside your cabin with your siblings already dead asleep, or reading a book to pass the time while they couldn't sleep.

Soon enough, tomorrow rolled around, being woken up by one of your cabinmates for the morning far earlier than normal, just as you requested.

You thought that if you woke up earlier then you might be able to catch Leo going to the workshop or what he called it as... honestly, you had a hard time deciphering what he was saying when he was more excited than a young kid on christmas day seeing their presents under the tree.

You quickly got dressed — Your bright orange camp shirt (Which in all honesty, you hated the color.), your dark blue jeans with your converse — And your short rainbow scarf you usually wore in your hair before putting your hair in a pony tail.

You quickly rush out of your cabin, not even thinking about closing the door as you run trough the camp, to Leo's workshop.

Not long after you find the entrance, it being wide open and you hear some type of... mechanical noises from the inside?

You went closer, peeking inside and spotting your objective — Leo's body peeking out from the inside of Festus as the dragon was resting while he worked.

You walked inside, walking closer as Festus opened it's eyes, now staring at you approaching. Leo not even taking notice of you at all.

"So this is where you've been all this time?" Your voice spoke as Leo almost immedieatly hit his head in Festus' body, before raising his head out of the mechanical dragon with wide eyes as he stared at you.

"Mi amor! I-I didn't expect to see you today!" He said, chuckling nervously as he scratched the back of his neck.

You raised an eyebrow. "I haven't seen you in days, Leo. It made me worry slightly." You responded, before walking closer towards Festus' leg, placing your hands on your hip.

Leo chuckled again. "Sorry. My bad. Was kinda too focused on fixing a part inside Festus." He grunted. "I just can't get it right." He grumbled under his breath and chucked his head back into Festus' back.

"Y'know... a break sounds way better than this."

"What do you mean a break? I need to finish this!

"What you need is a break!" You shot back, scoffing as you leaned your shoulder against Festus as you stared at Leo's lower body poking out from Festus.

But absent-mindedly, as you adjusted your position, you reached your hand and put it on Festus, and suddenly, instead of the goldish yellow color... he became bright rainbow colored.

Leo froze as he saw the change (from the inside? You guessed.) as he quickly wiggled himself out and stood on-top of Festus.

"Woah." He said as he looked across Festus' new look. "You could do that?"

You glanced at Festus' torso and Leo awkwardly. "Uh. I guess. I can change object's colors. Could do this since... forever. Y'know." You shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.

"Since forever? Dude! You never told me!" He said. "You should've told me! My inventions could've been way cooler with a touch of color instead of—" He said before he cut himself off as you raised an eyebrow in response.

"Y'know... Mi Amor... Some of my inventions do need a new paintjob..." He smirked as he slid down from Festus' back, walking over to you and wrapping his arms around your waist. "Please?" He said with a charming smile.

You raised an eyebrow. "This whole charming thing isn't really working when you smell like oil and like you haven't showered in weeks." You point out.

"Well, excuse you, but i am taking showers. Quite frequently to get rid of the smell." He stated with a pout.

You chuckled as you smirked. "I know, i know. I'll also try to color in your inventions, doofus." You respond.

He grinned happily at that, immedieatly pulling you towards the desk that was situated in the room, with a bunch of materials and tools, Leo rummaging around at the mess and gather them on the middle of the desk.

Awhile later, many gadgets, tools even material at this point was different colors than usual. Even Festus was now pink and blue with some white here and there. Both of you were now on the back of Festus, Leo peeking his head out of the poptart look-alike.

"Finally fixed the issue." He said with a soft smile on his face. He seemed more at ease than you ever did before, in all honesty. This whome color-adventure winded him down slightly, but he was happy, it showed. "You really should've told me you can do this... i would've loved to have you here to color my projects." He said, staring at you softly before leaning down and kissing your forehead.

[--------------]

tried my best w this one💔

small extra;

"Yeah, yeah. This may be all fun and games... but i'm pretty winded, Leo." You said.

"So? What's the problem with being tired?" He asked, looking at you as he put another project you colored away.

"I probably can't color everything back..." You revealed.

Leo's eyes went wide, before the two of you looked at Festus. The dragon only snorted out smoke from it's nostrils...in annoyance if you guessed.

"So Festus is staying as a fake poptart?" Questioned Leo.

"...Guess so. You might have to get used to this new version of Festus." You said. "Might take awhile before i could color him back..." You giggled.

[asher-agere]

Hear me out... Ranpo as a regressor when him and Fukuzawa have just met. Learning to trust each other - aurghhh ! (thwomp from Mario noise).

I AM SO HEARING YOU OUT. I love their relationship, they are so regressor and caregiver coded… THAT PICTURE FROM THE WAN. THAT ENTIRE EPISODE FROM THE WAN

Little Ranpo + Caregiver Fukuzawa (Beginnings)

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻ੈ✩‧₊˚

✦ Big Ranpo can deduce anything. World’s greatest detective! So he knows Fukuzawa wouldn’t judge him. He knows Fukuzawa would help him. But he also knows that Fukuzawa has no idea what age regression is. And the idea of needing to explain it is so nauseating… Just thinking about it has pushed him into a tantrum before. Overall it seems much easier to just not. He can take care of himself! He’s perfectly capable!

★ However… Baby Ranpo isn’t quite as good with his deduction skills. Maybe he miscalculated? He’s been dropping less often, so it was harder to pull himself out of headspace. He was down for longer than he usually is… And Fukuzawa came home. And saw him. Sitting on the grounding sucking on his thumb and clutching a blanket, like a baby. What would Fukuzawa think? In his regressed state he couldn’t get into the presidents head to figure it out. Not knowing things is so frustrating. It makes him feel stupid. It wasn’t long before the meltdown started, big fat tears streaming down the little one’s face. Everything just felt like too much!

✦ Fukuzawa was certainly stunned by this. He wouldn’t have really questioned the boys behavior. Blankets can be nice for anyone. Sucking on his thumb? Perhaps some form of oral fixation? Ranpo is clearly autistic and the two can be related (NOT IN A SEXUAL WAY IN THIS SITUATION). But bursting into tears? Something is wrong. And now Fukuzawa has to do something. He can’t just leave Ranpo like this…

★ All Fukuzawa has to do is calm him down. Ranpo tends to shut down a lot when he gets overstimulated with work, perhaps this is similar? So Fukuzawa simply pats Ranpo on the head (They’ve discussed previously that touch like that is ok to avoid unnecessary communication during stressful times) and sits down next to him. Fukuzawa does a gentle groan as he sits, maybe he mutters a small complaint about his back or his knees… And Ranpo calms down because... That’s the presidents biggest concern? Not him acting like a big baby?

✦ Fukuzawa just calmly talks to Ranpo to soothe him, maybe placing a hand on and gently rubbing the boys shoulder. He doesn’t ask, simply talks about how his day was, praises Ranpo on whatever work was done that day… Tiny things. And eventually Ranpo calms down! But Ranpo knows he can’t explain well right now, so he whines that he’s tired, he’s trying really hard to talk normal too “‘M sleepy… Talk in… Mornin’?” Fukuzawa of course agrees, gently tucking Ranpo into bed

★ In the morning Ranpo swallows his anxieties and approaches the president, and he explains. He knows that Fukuzawa doesn’t know what age regression is so he explains, then says that he is a regressor. Fukuzawa certainly seems confused, but he almost immediately offers to take care of Ranpo when he’s like that. He’s already taking care of the boy in so many ways… What’s one more going to matter? Ranpo, relieved that it didn’t take them long to get to this point, gladly accepts

(“Hey Ash this reads more like a Drabble or a fanfic than headcanons-“ Hush. I had this magical thing called inspiration, headcanons incoming!)

✦ Once Ranpo knows Fukuzawa is willing to take care of him he starts relying on him more! Unless he knows the president is busy. He doesn’t want to be a bother! Many times Fukuzawa has walked into a room to find Ranpo curled up sucking on his thumb, Fukuzawa has to explain over and over that even if he’s busy he still wants to take care of Ranpo. It’s like a break for both of them. Breaks are important. Besides finding Ranpo like this only makes him feel bad, Ranpo doesn’t want that of course

★ So much cat stuff! As Fukuzawa starts looking at little things, he’s drawn to cat themed items… Ranpo liked cats right? He didn’t hate them at the very least. Good enough. Occasionally he’ll get something candy themed but it’s mostly cats, with Fukuzawa as a caregiver Ranpo learns to love cats. Before he thought they were ok? After Fukuzawa starts taking care of him though it’s like an obsession. Fukuzawa’s love for cats is contagious

✦ Ranpo definitely has sensory issues! So Fukuzawa is very careful to pick out soft gentle clothes for him! Ranpo can get overwhelmed easily. Whether it’s because of textures, work, sounds, meltdowns are very common! Fukuzawa knows to get him into a comfortable and familiar environment (Usually Fukuzawa’s office) then just lets him calm down! Things like noise cancelling headphones are always at the ready!

★ I think Fukuzawa likes just sitting with his little one, this definitely applies to Ranpo! Fukuzawa can sit at a desk doing paperwork and Ranpo curls up under the desk, leans against Fukuzawa’s legs and watches a cartoon! Whenever he goes to make the little one a drink he’ll also make himself tea! Once Ranpo tried the tea thinking he was being sneaky… He instantly spit it out and started crying because it didn’t taste sweet enough for him ( ">﹏< ) Of course he was given hot cocoa to wash out the yucky taste!

✦ At first Fukuzawa tried getting Ranpo to eat less sweets! But he quickly gave up on that, it was just miserable. Instead he pushes brushing teeth, and makes deals! He’ll allow Ranpo to have sweets, but Ranpo has to eat something healthy first! Ranpo still eats far too many sweets from Fukuzawa’s perspective, but at least he knows Ranpo is being healthy enough to make up for it!

★ I genuinely almost forgot nicknames… My favorite part. Nicknames time right at the end then! Fukuzawa definitely uses nicknames like “Baby” “Little One” and “Sweetie”! Classics, but they make Ranpo feel so happy and tiny! I think Ranpo either calls Fukuzawa “Fufu” or “Zawa” either one works! Sometimes he’ll say “Dada” but not too often? He gets embarrassed when he says that one hehe

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻ੈ✩‧₊˚

Wow this got long… Uhh. Can you guys tell I love this duo? They’re so perfect for agere… I could go on about them for hours. Anyway! Have an amazing day/night!

[tsukimefuku]

It takes one to know one

You and Higuruma decided to make a promise to each other.

Tags: Jujutsu Kaisen, Higuruma x f!reader, this is extreme fluff with the tiniest hint of angst, just for sauce.

Song: Head over feet - Alanis Morissette

WC: 800

This is part of my "Jujutsu Partners Canon Divergence AU", a sequence of short stories and random drabbles for a Nanami x f!reader x Higuruma fanfic I'll eventually write (eventually). To see the ever-growing list of one-shots, please visit my masterlist :)

Disclaimer: these stories are NOT written and posted in chronological order of events. To see where this story fits in the timeline, please check the masterlist mentioned above.

You've already won me over in spite of me

And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet

And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are

I couldn't help it

It's all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things

You held your breath and the door for me

Thanks for your patience

— Head over feet, Alanis Morissette

"I have noticed something." You said, as you had your forearms over the balcony, watching the calm street. You were both outside, enjoying the last few hours of sunlight, as the sun set behind a wall of buildings.

"What?" Higuruma asked, as he sat on the only chair there was in the balcony of your apartment. He closed the book he was reading, and put it aside.

"You got me to confess I had feelings for you," as you looked at him, he was watching the sky, with a sly smirk on his face, "but you never actually told me how you felt."

His smirk was gone, and he stared at you, confused. "Huh?"

"All you said was that you were happy you weren't barking up the wrong tree. Aside from the 'poetry' of it," you huffed an almost chuckle, "that doesn't say much, Hiromi."

He slid his fingers over his hair for a moment, and seemed to be pondering on something, as he looked at you. You proceeded.

"You actually took very calculated steps just to get my 'confession', and you revealed absolutely nothing about yourself."

He sighed, and lifted his hands, in admission of his defeat. "You caught me."

You chuckled and leaned against the opposing wall, to look at him. "Why did you do that?"

He was silent for a few seconds. "I guess I was worried you'd push me away if I told you how I felt."

You sighed, and scratched your head. "I mean, your fears were warranted. But we've been dating for a while, and you still haven't said how you feel. It's odd, that's all."

"I guess... I might still me afraid you will flee at any given moment."

"Hey, I know I'm avoidant, but come on, give me some credit!" You complained, crossing your arms over your chest. "I'm in this with you."

"I know. But you still have feelings for him, don't you?" Higuruma inquired, leaned against the wall on his side of the balcony. It caught you by surprise.

"... I do." You admitted, starting to worry where this conversation was heading. Is he going to hold this over my head? You thought about him wanting to ask for some time, or breaking up, and oh come on not now, just when I began to feel happy aga-

"It's okay" he said, noticing your entire body had become stiff, and your brows knit together in a pained frown. "What I mean to say is that you still have feelings for someone that you actively decided not to pursue, and hasn't told me why. I'm not asking you to, but from that I can deduct that you had some kind of fallout, and are still feeling hurt, or vulnerable."

He read you like an open book. Your softening gaze confirmed his suspicion.

"About that, Hiromi, I..." The words began to tangle themselves in your throat, forming a ball, hard to spit out.

"I don't mean to pressure you about that in any way. Talk to me if and when you're ready. No one can promise to have feelings for one single person their entire lives, that's not how feelings work," Higuruma said, "but we can promise each other something else."

You stayed silent, and waited for him to speak.

"We can promise to always tell each other the truth, even if it hurts."

You sighed, gazing at him, and nodded. "I promise that I'll always tell you the truth, even if it hurts."

He smiled at you. "I promise you the same."

"Now, about your feelings...", you began, "why don't you tell me how you feel about me?"

"I believe you already have plenty on your plate. I don't want to..." He said, looking at his feet. He didn't mean to occupy you with his feelings, was what transpired.

"I want you to." You told him, as he looked up at you. "You just promised me. Always the truth."

He chuckled, caught on the web he had made himself. "Okay, then."

Higuruma got up and stepped towards you, pulling you by your waist to press against him. Your bodies, already familiar with one another, still quivered with the closeness and warmth. You put your hands behind his neck, feeling your face prickle red, as he gazed at you, eyes soft and loving.

"I am wholeheartedly in love with you." The sorcerer pressed his forehead against yours, and kept looking at you. Your heart throbbed and whirled content, and you could've wept of joy at this very moment. "And how are you currently feeling about me?"

You stuttered for a moment. "I am sincerely falling in love with you."

He chuckled, and nuzzled his beautiful hooked nose against yours. "Always a step back."

"What can I say?" You responded, while giggling. "You know me."

"I do. That's why we're here." He replied, kissing you. It felt like the sweetest golden honey had touched your tongue after you survived swallowing coals and bitterness for so long.

Please, don't ever leave.

[dndeceit]

(100 word drabble for the prompt: "confess")

"Janus, Remus and I both saw the kill, give it up." "Which is suspicious in its own right, is it not, Roman? As if you and your brother naturally agree on anything? Yes, I'd say it's quite convenient that the two of you have joined together in your accusations. There are typically two impostors to a crew, after all. Confess!" In the ghost chat, Logan said: "This is not the stimulating deductive play I was promised. Why did the others agree to play this game?" "He black mailed most of us," Virgil replied. "Though he probably bribed Patton with cookies."

[colderdrafts]

Calm waters

Just a lil one-shot drabble for some practice. Enjoy 💙

Merman (octo) x gn reader. Sfw, tw kidnapping, mild violence

He sits on the same rock as usual, large, black tendrils partially holding onto it, partially running through the depths below. He breathes deeply to calm himself, a familiar scent of salt in the air.

This part of the beach is quiet, a vacant a spot he retreats to for some peace, away from prying eyes. At times, he brings the visitors of the oceans and his heart with him.

Topas watches the odd metallic bird rising high up in the sky, leaving it's odd ever-growing white tail behind on the air, like using a paint brush on a blue canvas.

How something like that can even fly is beyond him, truly another marvel of human ingenuity. The distant roar of its powerful 'engine' floods his senses, like an imitation of a rumbling thunder. He misses the lightning that usually accompanies the sound, however. Perhaps it would strike him, and give clarity as to why he's allowed himself to be fooled once again.

Frankly, he should have seen it coming, this is how it always ends. So why did he think anything will change? Why does he trust whatever fleeting promises anyone who gives him the time of day throws his way?

He gnaws on his bottom lip, agitated, sharp teeth threatening to draw blood. The pain is grounding. Reminding him he's still a someone and present, despite how he's been discarded like an accessory. Something interesting to spend your time on while you're away from home - an item you'll leave behind and forget about.

He's exciting, new, a creature of the depths, a hermit you'd be lucky to stumble upon at all. For a time. But the second whatever schedule they have in place for their lives run out, they're gone, him being nothing more than a summer fling, a short lived ecstasy and rush of dopamine.

He stares at the monstrous metal bird like his eyes could vaporize it, and strike it down so you'd be in his arms again, come back to where you belong. He knows you're on it. He recognizes the logo of the company you're flying with, reminiscing the way your claw-less fingers traced over the ticket you once showed him. Telling him stories of the lands you used to belong to.

He squints at the obnoxiously bright colors coating the bottom of the flying vessel, like a mockery of a proper bird.

He knew you'd be leaving today, but you promised to at least come say goodbye. Tell him your beautiful lie that you'd return sometime. You couldn't even do that for him.

He really thought this would be different. He turns away angrily, hauling himself down the slope of rocks toward the beckoning water. Perhaps he should spend the next decade or so in the further deep to get his mind on straight again.

They're gone, just like the others. The metal bird has won once again. Nothing will change that now. He's so stupid-

"Topas?"

The sound is barely a breath upon the wind, but nevertheless the familiar call of his name stops him dead in his tracks. Your voice instantly sends an excited chill down his spine, and he hardly dares move in case he'd just imagined it.

Topas turns then, slow and anticipatory, the tendrils of his lower body squirming to find something to hold on to. Deep green eyes settle on your haggard form standing at the tip of the waves, your feet hidden in the sand. Your protective fabrics are wrung awry, your knees scraped bloody (and smelling so, so good) and you're clearly out of breath.

Topas deducts you've been running. Supposedly you had a fall along the way. Your appearance is that of a seasoned fighter, and it's breathtaking.

He resist the immediate urge to take you into his arms, curl everything he is around you and enjoy your strange body, hardened by the land, pressing against his again. He must not forget you broke a promise.

What's to say you will not do so again? Topas ignores the want in his heart and narrows his eyes, taking some satisfaction you have the grace to avert yours. Acknowledging, like someone who knows of their guilt.

"Did the metal bird leave without you?" he asks as a greeting, guarded. And now you're looking for further entertainment until it flies again?

You take a few deep breaths to muster your voice, finding the courage to look back at him.  "No - well, yes, I mean. No?" you falter, struggling to find which words to speak first.

Topas wonders why you're trying to say all of them all at once, forcing his face to hold back the creeping smile threatening to remove his upset. Your fluster still warms him, enjoying the effect he can have on you. He patiently waits for you to explain yourself, slowly moving through the water and closing the annoying gap.

"I overslept, and dashed for the airport," you begin, stubbornly steadfast at his approach. Still, you appear like a spooked seahorse awaiting its chance to flee, and he just wants to drag you back into the water, make sure you can't bolt. "I made it to the gate. But. I couldn't get on it. It wouldn't be right."

He stops at that last part and stares for a beat, borderline flabbergasted.

You fidget with your hands again. Topas wonders if it's because you want to hold his. "I'm sorry I'm late - but I said I'd say goodbye, right? It's the least I could do for you. For all this time you've spent keeping me company and guiding me through an area I've never been to."

His eyes widen. Isn't that - that's a big deal for a human, isn't it? Going out of your way like that? Abandoning something seemingly as mighty as time?

It always seems it's notoriously important humans get to the 'right plane' at the 'right time', well in advance, everything must be perfect and go smoothly.

To get home, to get back to work. It's so, so important. And yet you abandoned that chance. For him? To keep your promise?

"You came back just to say goodbye? And now you can't go..?" he asks.

"I, uh. Yeah. Yeah, that about covers it," you chuckle awkwardly, a sound like music. You've about caught your breath, trying and failing to smooth out some torn fabric. "Sorry I'm such a mess right now."

Silence. Topas covers the ground in one quick jump, rapidly closing the remaining distance and roughly latching onto you, knocking you flat on your back in the sand below. He holds on tight, coiling his tendrils around your legs and almost squeezing the breath right back out of you. You let out the most adorable startled and half-strangled noise, gods he could crush you, it's so good you're still here.

You returned. You can keep your promises. You abandoned your important human nonsense. It's almost unreal.

Your heart is razing, he can tell, but it's alright, so is his. He smooths some tendrils along your legs in a calming motion, and the nervous laughter you let out soothes you. He feels your arms reaching back around him, sliding across his skin and settling on the small of his back. He knows you like to hold them there, feeling the space where his hips turn into strong muscle of the tendrils running into the water.

"Good," he breathes, smelling your sun kissed skin. "Good. You can't go. You're staying here."

You chuckle sadly. "Topas-"

"No."

Its not as much the demanding tone as it's the way everything he is suddenly tightens around you.

You stiffen, anxious like the first time he held you, perhaps he got a little too excited. He didn't mean to frighten you then, and he doesn't mean to do so now. But this is important. It's important you understand how significant this is.

"No..?" you repeat carefully. You pet his back like a silent attempt to soothe. You'll have to forgive he can't appreciate the gesture right now.

"I know what you're about to say," Topas says through gritted teeth. He keeps his face hidden in the crook of your neck so you can't look him in the eye, still aware his intensity has a tendency to frighten humans. "'There's another one flying away soon. I'll leave with the next one. I'll return next year. I promise I'll never forget you.'"

He spits the last words out with the vitriol of all the times it's happened combined, his bitterness clouding the air.

"Topas," you try. Your voice sounds so oddly brittle, your hands settle on his chest, pushing slightly. "Topas, please let go of me-"

You can feel teeth ghosting over your neck like Topas' considering if biting you would bring his point across better. He tightens his grip on your legs, and you stop squirming.

"Something will get in the way of all that. It always does. You won't be back, and you'll forget," he says.

He lifts himself slightly, finally looking you in the face. Your eyes are blown wide, and you're still breathing too quick, staring like captured prey. His heart sinks at the sight, but this is better than the alternative. He gingerly leans down, resting his forehead against yours.

"But I know you want to be here now," he whispers, staring into you. "So I'm just going to not give you any other option."

Slowly, he starts dragging you across the sand. You let him for a bit, still confused at his sudden change of tone, but the second you realize he's dragging you toward the water you start struggling, attempting to pull free from his iron grip.

He's set off your fear response, Topas acknowledges, but it'll stop clouding your mind soon enough. He just has to get you to the water-

He's interrupted by a sudden sharp sting in his eye. You've managed to get a hand free and went to roughly poke him. Topas squeals in pain, his tendrils loosening just a bit of their grip. Your body heat leaves them behind and he can't taste you anymore, you've pulled them to you. Another blow follows, this time to his stomach, as you kick against him to gain more distance.

Topas grunts from the sudden impact, and you turn over on your front, calling for help. You're trying to drag yourself away from him. That won't do. He recovers, and leaps forward again, locking his hand around your ankle, dragging you back across the sand.

"No, no, calm down-" he bristles, pulling you back into his body, hands on your calves, thighs, hips - he locks his body around you again to stop your frantic kicking and screaming. Once back in control, he starts tugging you over the sand once again.

"I can't breathe!" you shriek suddenly, clawing at the ground for anything to stop your shared path toward the depths. Your fingers leave patterns in the wet ground, the waves coming in to calmly sweep them away.

"I know," he mutters soothingly, keeping the momentum. "I know." He's not going to drown you. This is just to talk. Get used to the water, so you don't have to concern yourself with what's keeping you on land ever again.

The cool water seeps over his skin and yours in one, final pull. He stretches, long tendrils writhing around you, feeling the water around him carrying his body, his full freedom of movement finally returning. He breathe deeply, enjoying the wetting of his gills as the salt welcomes him home. Now, he just has to get you away from shore, fast.

The land is left behind, the cold water making you still, clinging to Topas' embrace. He easily lets you. You've no other choice out here, at his mercy. It's keep calm or sink, and slowly, slowly, the beach gets smaller and smaller as the open waters get deeper beneath you both. He makes sure to keep your head above water.

The shore carries no trace of the human who missed their plane. The salty sea air caresses the skin of its visitors, and an empty rock sits quietly in the waves.

cheshire cat smile -- akaashi keiji drabble

✧ - y/n and akaashi are ballet dancers at the same academy, always fighting for the top spot.

a/n: i am for sure going to explore this concept more, but i had to get this little drabble out first. warning, this is slightly suggestive (i think ??)

»»————-　★　————-««

You watched as Akaashi left Takeyuki's office, a pleased little smile on his face as he stretched one arm over his head in silent victory. You glared, an unpleasant scowl curling on your face as you march your way over there.

"What did you do?" you growl, standing in front of him.

He tilted his head, playing his stupid little innocent act. "I don't know what you mean, Y/N."

You huffed and grabbed his wrist to force him to walk with you. He does so without complaint, allowing you to drag him along by his wrist. "This seems counter-productive," he points out softly as you both come to a stop outside of your dressing room.

"Whatever," you roll your eyes, as you turn to him. You cross your arms, trying to seem bigger than you are seeing as he has a height advantage over you. "I know you bribed Takeyuki or did something like that. You're a snake," you spit, jabbing a finger into his chest.

He raises his hand with a small smirk. "I'm an honest man. I would do no such thing."

"You would!" you nearly shout. "You're so determined to take this spot from me, and I don't know why!"

His eyes darken just a little bit, and his small smirk slips off his face. "Is it not normal to want something? Even if somebody else wants it?"

You bite down on your lip, frustration pumping through you. "Shut up," you mutter, looking anywhere but his eyes, "I want that spot more than you and you know it. That's why you're being so infuriating about it."

"Whatever you say, Y/N. Don't act as if you wouldn't do the same," His drawl seemed bored despite the implication that you would cheat, and that only serves to anger you more. You shove him up against the door of your dressing room, relishing in the shock that flashes across his typically neutral face.

"Don't dismiss me," you growl, "That spot is mine, Akaashi. I will do what it takes to get it fairly. I'm not you."

He grabs your wrist which was curled in the fabric of his shirt, he pulls it away, but your grip remains strong. You weren't going to give up lightly.

"I'm taking advantage of the circumstances. Maybe you'd get more chances if you were a bit more resourceful," he hums, pursing his lips.

"You mean if I decided to cheat," you correct, tilting your head with a small smirk.

"Not necessarily," he smirks, "sometimes you just need to be a few steps ahead of the competition." There's a flicker of something in his eyes, and you know he's come up with a new solution to get out of this predicament. You don't have the time to try and figure out exactly what though, because Akaashi's deduction skills would always be better than your own.

He brings you close by the hand still fisted in his shirt, and you gasp as he pulls you in for a kiss. You feel your body go limp, and your grip on his shirt go lax as his mouth moves in sync against yours.

Akaashi's lips are soft, and only chapped a small amount. He tastes of the raspberry chapstick you see him apply so often. His tongue swipes over your lip, asking for entrance. You melt, your mouth opening wider as he tugs on your bottom lip with his teeth ever so slightly.

He's teasing you, and it's lovely and excruciating at the same time.

His hands roam up your sides, rubbing at your skin through the thin fabric of your leotard. He caresses his hands over your body, where your thin little skirt hangs on your hips.

A small shiver wracks your spine, and you let out a little whimper into the kiss. You feel a bit lightheaded from the lack of air in your lungs, but you know that the moment Akaashi pulls away you'll want him back.

You never thought you'd need Akaashi like you needed air, but here you are.

He pulls away, a small trail of spit connecting your wet mouths. His cheeks are flushed, but you're sure yours are fiery red.

He leans close, and you close your eyes as if he was about to kiss you again. Instead, he whispers against your lips.

"I'm always going to be five-steps ahead of you."

And then he walks away, your hand having fallen from his shirt as you stand helpless outside of your dressing room. You can hear his soft laughter, ringing in your ears like a taunt.

With shaking hands, you tug on the doorknob to your dressing room and enter, collapasing into the chair in front of your desk.

God, you hated Akaashi Keiji.
