At his fighting peak, when naught but the compression of bone and sinew and the flex of muscle should have occupied his thoughts, Raiden suddenly felt as if he were no longer standing within the Wu Shi Academy tournament ring. Without warning, the storm warrior followed the completely illogical impulse to its conclusion, and disappeared from the kombat ring...

Tumblr media Tumblr media
you’re not short by any means, being a mediocre average height your entire life meant you had blended in with everyone else
well that, and your natural shapeshifter abilities, but after going through an identity crisis in your ripe teenager years, you usually felt most comfortable in your own skin
however, at the Wu Shi Academy, being average height meant that you were actually short
you wonder what they were feeding the other combatants because Johnny, Kenshi, Kung Lao, and Raiden all tower over you by several inches
and none of them let you forget it, constantly resting their elbows on your shoulders and making you their counter to rest on
it had led to quite a few bruises, mostly for Johnny and Kung Lao, but even Kenshi and Raiden had their moments where they teased you for your height
the jokes didn’t make you uncomfortable, not your height, with your shapeshifting ability, you could just be taller than them, but you hadn’t ever felt the need to
unless Liu Kang was around
he wasn’t that much taller than any of them, perhaps just by an inch or two, but still, his height, his broad shoulders, and his calm and gentle attitude had you sweating every time he came around you
embarrassing as it was, the way he towered over you always sent all the blood rushing downwards and for your tongue to twist into knots and for your body to feel as hot as burning coals
if Liu Kang ever noticed the slight demeanor change, he didn’t mention it, simply giving you that gentle smile and a reassuring hand on your shoulder
you’re sure that it would be the death of you, the soft but firm words, the gentle tone, the slight rasp in his voice as he gave orders to all of you
every time his hand touched you, you could never help but imagine his fingers touching elsewhere, buried in your hair, gripping onto your thighs, thrusting into your-
you jolt out of your thoughts as Kung Lao roughly elbows you in the side during breakfast, asking what’s got your head so high up in the clouds
scowling at the monk, you slap at his shoulder and pick up your spoon to finish off your breakfast of congee
he winces at the contact and dramatically drapes himself over Raiden, bemoaning about how his closest friend just beat him so viciously and that he would need a kiss to heal it
Raiden rolls his eyes, but the soft smile playing on his lips betrayed his true thoughts as the farmer turned his head to place a gentle kiss upon the monk’s lips
Johnny sighs from across the table, bemoaning just as dramatically as Kung Lao about saving the smooching for the bedroom, and Kung Lao simply flips off the actor before grabbing on tighter to Raiden, determined to put on a show and piss off Johnny as much as possibly
you just roll your eyes at the love sick sight and tip the bowl back, emptying the bowl of its congee, and you excuse yourself from the table just as Kenshi hisses at Johnny to stop being so overreactive
the start of another catfight begins, and you let out a quick huff of hair from your nose, shaking your head and smiling
absolute idiots, but you loved them all nonetheless
as you walk back, you stare at the ground, counting the tiles your feet step on and dodging the cracks in the concrete pavement, and you think back to Liu Kang
you liked Liu Kang, to say the least, it wasn’t exactly hard to figure out your own lust when you had first saw him, and your feelings for him only grew stronger the longer you had hung out with him
he was kind, thoughtful, and most of all, so gentle and warm, and you snort at the irony of him being warm and being the god of fire
but still, your thoughts veer back on track as you think about him and you
you’re just a mortal, a human, a human with shapeshifting powers but human nonetheless, and he was a god, almighty and powerful and much more experienced and aged
it wouldn’t do you any good to desire him, to go after him, and you had tried to squash your own feelings for him, using your powers to match his height whenever he came around
a feeble effort to try and mitigate one of the reasons you liked him, but it wasn’t doing much good, not when his voice affected you more than anything or the way he held himself or the way that he was just so understanding and willing to listen and-
you barely manage to sidestep someone in front of you as they come into your field of view, and you snap your head up, shooting up in height as an instinctual reaction at the sight of Liu Kang
he cranes his neck to look at you as your head crashes into the ceiling above, and you let out a small groan and slowly diminish in height as you rub at the top of your head
Liu Kang asks if you are alright, and you wave him off, saying that he had just caught you by surprise
you shrink down to match his height and watch as he slightly quirks his eyebrow at you, wondering why you hadn’t shrunk down to your original height yet
shifting your weight, you say that you walk faster with long legs and that you should return your bowl to the kitchen and get back before Johnny and Kenshi get into a fight
the god lightly chuckles, just a small laugh and one barely audible over the slight breeze in the wind and the background of monks chanting in the background, but you think you’re about to fall over as heat rushes to your cheeks
how was he so attractive even just doing a simple thing
you give him a sheepish smile and hurry off to the kitchens, mumbling that you really have to get going, and you don’t notice his eyes following you as you speed walk away
when you come back to the dining room, Raiden sits next to Kenshi while Kung Lao sits next to Johnny, the actor and swordsman sporting congee on top of their uniforms as thy shoot ugly glances at each other while the farmers try and calm each other down
it seems like today would be a long one
training that day goes just as well as this morning, Johnny and Kenshi refuse to spar with anyone else but each other, leading to Liu Kang having to monitor their matches closely
you haven’t changed back into your normal height, and while you aren’t adverse to using your powers for extended periods of time, your skin was starting to crawl with the need to go back to normal
but still, something instinctual tells you to stay tall, to try and reduce your attraction to the god, and so you focus back on your own spar with Kung Lao
the monk smirks at you and beckons you toward him, and you reciprocate his grin before finally lunging at him
it’s a long match, drawn out and long, and unease prickles underneath your skin as you fight him in your changed height
you were used to fighting while average height, easier to move faster, to land lower blows, and now that you were taller than him, you were struggling
still, in the corner of your eye, you can still spot Liu Kang at the training fields, observing and watching you all
so you stay in your modified height and take the blows from Kung Lao, trying to change your strategy to incorporate your height
the match drags on for a few minutes, and you feel proud of yourself for managing to hold on this long
at least until Kung Lao kicks you onto your back with a particularly powerful blow, and your head smacks against the ground
pain explodes in the back of your head, and you groan, feeling your body twitch and change and morph as it struggles to deal with the pain
you don’t realize you’ve closed your eyes until the blurry figure of Liu Kang appears in your vision, blocking out the harsh sun as he asks if you’re okay
even in pain, your brain still manages to change the position dirty, filling your head with images of him bent over you in a different situation, skin sweaty and hot, hair disheveled and lips kissed swollen
he calls your name, and you let out a meek yes, sounding a bit whinier than you had wanted to, and Liu Kang sighs in relief and brings his hand to your shoulder to help you sit up
it burns your skin, the heat off of his palm, and you hope and pray that he can’t hear how your heart starts beating rapidly or how your face grows flush and sweaty underneath his touch
Liu Kang tells you he's going to bring you to the infirmary, turning his head away to briefly tell one of the monks overseeing that they are now in charge
his hands stay on your body as you stand up, the world still slightly spinning before you, and your head sways as black dots swim at the top of your vision
the god purses his lips and starts to guide you in the direction of the infirmary, his feet keeping pace with your now shorter legs
the longer and longer you walk to the med bay, the more your head clears, and the more you’re aware of his hand on your shoulder
of both of his hands on your shoulder and how you’re, at best, shoulder height now
you meekly try and push your way out of a visit to the health clinic, but he stares down at you with a hard gaze, and your protest dies in your throat as you try and reel in your own lust for him
it gets appreciably harder when he sits you down in the cot and inspects you himself, asking you questions in a low tone of voice as his hands move to you head to inspect for any swollenness
your voice strains to sound normal as you try to answer his question, the pain in the back of your head gone and replaced with the feeling of butterflies whirling inside of your stomach and liquid hot lust dripping down into your body
he hums and finishes his inspection, sighing and saying that you should be more careful, that using your powers for any longer than a few hours was something to be worked on gradually
besides, your strengths lay with your smaller stature, allowing you attacks that none of the other defenders could feasibly do
you nod your head, trying to avoid eye contact, lest he look into your soul and found the depravity hiding within
his brows furrow, and he tells you to look at him and to answer him with words, that he needed to make sure you understand
god take you now because you might actually stain the bed cot with how wet you are at his commanding tone of voice
you take too long to answer Liu Kang, and he gently raises your chin up to look at him, your neck straining upwards to look at his stern eyes and furrowed brows as he await your answer
it catches you by surprise, his hand on your face, and an involuntary whine slips out of you at the casual dominance
perhaps it would’ve been better if you had blacked out earlier because at least you wouldn’t be stuck in this uncomfortable situation
your face burns with embarrassment, mouth slightly parted at the fact that you had just whined, and Liu Kang lifts his eyebrows in slight surprise
his hand doesn’t falter, however,  on your chin, and he cocks his head at you, blinking as you try and sputter out words and excuses or really anything
he shifts in his position, somehow now looming over you, his broad shoulders completely blocking out your vision and his thumb slips itself in between your parted lips
damn you and your body because you immediately go limp in his hold, mouth instinctively closing around his finger as you let him just lean over you
a small coy smile plays on his lips, and you’re too focused on trying to snap out of how good this all feels to realize that he figures out why you’ve been avoiding him lately
Liu Kang lets out a gentle huff of air, drawing his thumb out of your lips, but you don’t have any time to whine as he places his large hands on your waist and easily transfers you from the bed cot and into his lap
your thighs spread around his, trapping his legs in between yours, but you feel more expose as he spreads his legs, forcing your own to spread as well
even sitting in his lap, you’re still shorter than him, and he takes full advantage of this fact as he presses one hand into the small of your back to force you into the warmth of his skin as he leans forward, bending your back into a bow-like shape
you can’t think, can barely even breathe as your hands settle onto his shoulders, squeezing at the firm muscle to try and ground yourself into reality
even that grows difficult as he leans his head forward, nose bumping into yours, eyes boring down painfully through you, as if he could hear and see every thoughts, peeling away the layers of your mind to find your dirtiest fantasies about him
Liu Kang breathes out, eyes still focused onto yours, and you look away, turning your head to the side and squirming slightly at just how intimate this all was
he frowns at how you avoid his gaze, and his hand at your back goes to squeeze your thigh while his other cradles the back of your neck, squeezing it like he was scruffing a cat
his chest vibrates as he orders you to look at him, and you can feel something nervous grip onto your heart, squeezing and squeezing as you force your head to turn to look at him
you think you’re going to die because you’re so turned on right now that you can’t even process how Liu Kang clenches his jaw, trying to hold onto the small thread of control over himself
praise falls from his lips, saying that you were so good for following his command, and your hips rut forward of their own volition, desperately seeking for some sort of friction on your aching clit
Liu Kang hums at your neediness, eyes never leaving yours as he squeezes at your waist, and you whine again as you grind against empty air
it’s overwhelming how he surrounds you, the scent of ash and green tea in the air, his eyes boring into your soul, the warmth of his hand on the back of your neck, your thigh
as if the god knows, he leans his head forward to consume you completely, lips moving towards yours, and he pauses, just to let you have a choice to push him away just in case
you surge forward, wanting him to devour you, to completely surround you in his heat, and he groans and leans into you further, arching your back into a strained curve
but the ache of your muscle is negated by how his lips taste you, tongue dragging over your lips, low groans into your mouth that you can barely hear over the blood rushing in your ears
he kisses you like a starving animal, pressing into you further and further, seeking more and more of you until you had nothing more to give and then taking some more
your mind is melting, you’re pretty sure it is, and it doesn’t help when his hand on the back of your neck trails up and threads through your hair, pulling you head back as his lips move to your neck
his lips are soft against the skin of your neck, teasing and soft, leaving fervent kisses along the expanse of it, but you want more and gather what little grasp of your will you have left
you trail one of your hands on his shoulder down and shove it down his pants to grab onto his cock, hand firmly wrapping around it
Liu Kang lets out a loud groan against your skin, sinking his teeth into the flesh, and it makes you let out a choked sound as you try and give him some modicum of pleasure
his tongue licks over the mark, almost like an apology, but you find it a lie as he moves to another part of your skin and bites down again as you continue to try and stroke him
wriggling in his hold, you manage to let out a whiny plea for you to suck his cock
it gives the god pause, and his lips momentarily stop against your skin before pulling back to stare into your eyes again
he lets out a breath, asking if you were sure, and you squirm in his ironclad grip on you and let out a pitiful yes, voice high-pitched and breathy
Liu Kang hums and slowly, almost mournfully, lessens his hold on you and helps guide you on shaky legs down to your knees and in between his spread thighs
he pulls down his pants, intending on taking them fully off, but you’re too impatient and shuffle forward and grab onto his cock, perhaps feeling a bit intimidated at the size
it didn’t surprise you that he was thick, thicker than anything you had ever seen or practiced on, but still, there was a reason you were an earthrealm defender, you never backed down from a challenge
your other hand grabs onto his thigh for balance as you leans your head forward, tongue dragging against the length of his cock from base to tip
the god draws in a sharp breath and forces his hands to stay at his sides, wanting to see how far you would go before he would push you to your limits
you concentrate on the task before you, trying not to get too distracted with how his broad form looms over you and how absolutely fucking soaked you are at the sight
ignoring your own need, greedy to taste him, you wrap your lips around the head of him, tongue pressing into the slit to taste his pre-cum, and Liu Kang’s hands start to burn through the cloth of the bed cot
if you smell the burning linen, you don’t pay any mind, using one hand to stroke him up and down in controlled strokes while your mouth suckles at the tip
so, maybe you were a lot intimidated actually at the size of him, not his length, no that was only a bit above average
his girth on the other hand
you clench around nothing at the thought of him stretching you out, the slight burn, the addicting pressure, the feeling of fullness
Liu Kang grits his teeth, hand twitching and burning through the bed cit as he tries to not to bury his fingers in your hair and force your head all the way down until your nose touches down to the base of curls
humming slightly, listening to the choked moan of the god, you push forward, bringing the tip of his cock past your lips and bobbing your head up and down with the pace of your hand
slowly but surely, you take him further and further down your mouth, until he’s in your throat, and your lips burn and you’re sure that tears are falling down your face
he’s losing his self-control, heart beating rapidly in his chest at the sight of you so debauched, tears running down your face, eyes slightly glazed over as you focus on sucking his cock, and Liu Kang can’t help it as his hand finally leaves the bed to bury itself in your hair
his hand pushes you down further and further, and you let him take control, mind slowly going blank at how he’s filling every one of your senses
your nose buries itself into his pelvis, and distantly, you can hear him telling you to breathe through your nose, to stay calm, that you were doing so well for him, so good for him
your own hands grip onto his thighs, squeezing and kneading to try and keep yourself here and present, but control is slipping as you breathe in the scent of him
Liu Kang breathes out through his nose, as his hand tightens its grip on your hair as he moves your head up and down, trying to stay in control, trying to stay calm
and then you let out a breathy whine as his hips stutter and hit the back of your throat roughly, and the thin thread snaps as his other hand grips onto your head
it’s sinful, the wet sounds coming from your mouth, the way Liu Kang fucks into your throat, how your eyes stare up at him, teary and hazy as you moan
the sound vibrates through him, and he thinks he’s going to cum just like this, down your throat, despite his eons and eons of experience
but he doesn’t want to paint your face or your throat with his cum, at least not just yet, and he forces himself to pull your mouth off of his cock, missing the feeling of you immediately
you look dazed, wrecked, all from him, lips swollen and covered in your spit, drool hanging down your chin
Liu Kang drags you up into his lap and kisses you, wrapping your legs around his waist and digging his fingers into the plump meat of your thighs as he stands up
he walks forward, his lips never leaving yours as your arms wrap around his neck to pull him in forward, and your back finally meets the wall of the infirmary
the god grinds his cock into your clothed pussy, two layers too much, and he bites back a growl at the obstruction
balancing you on one hand, arm barely straining with effort, he reaches his free hand down in between you and tears at your pants easily, making you gasp
instantly, both of his hands dig into your ass once again and his cock presses up against your swollen and needy clit
after so long without any friction, you gasp and whimper at the contact, trying to push your hips forward to get more
he denies you, relishing how you squirm in his arms and how your whines grow needier and needier with each passing second
when you let out a small plea, your name hanging from his lips like honey and a sweet please melting into the air, he shakes his head
it would be too much for you, he hadn’t had the time to properly stretch you, to prepare you, and he didn’t want to hurt you
Liu Kang promises you another time, and you whine in frustration, pulling away from his lips with a glare
your thighs tighten around his waist as you lift yourself up just enough so that the head of his cock notches against you, and before he can react, you sink down, choking back your own moan
he should lift you up, get you off of him before you hurt yourself, but he can’t find it in himself to take you off, your pussy sucking him in further and further until your hips finds themselves flush with his
you whine, head buried into the crook of his neck, and he breathes out harshly through his nose, straining every fiber of his being to not lift you up and begin fucking into you
it’s a brutal several minutes as you adjust to his size, taking in deep stuttering breaths as he murmurs into your ear to breathe, that you were doing so well for him
his thumbs rub circles into the sides of your skin as you calm down, and then you finally squirm impatiently on his dick, clenching your pussy around him and forcing a groan out of him
you moan, begging him to move, and Liu Kang tightens his grip on your legs and finally starts bouncing you on his cock, knocking any sense that you might have left in your brain
the lewd sounds of your pussy fill the air with your moans and whimpers, and Liu Kang wants to taste your pleasure, your desperation
he brings his lips to yours again, kissing you, swallowing every one of your sweet sounds as he thrusts up into you, trying to angle his hips to hit that one sweet spot
when you yelp into his mouth, stars bursting behind your eyelids and arms tightening around his neck, he smiles against your lips and fucks into the spot, making sure that the fat head of his cock bullies relentlessly into it
you swear you’re being lifted into the heavens, higher than the heavens actually, pleasure singing through every nerve in your body and your orgasm was hurtling towards you faster than you had ever known
Liu Kang finally pulls away, and you’re sure that you look dazed and already fucked out
in the haze of your pleasure, you almost miss him telling you to do something, and you have to let out a pathetic what, interrupted by a pitiful whine as he fucks back into your sweet spot
he tells you to rub your clit, his voice rumbling through you and straight down as you hear a loud squelch
but you comply immediately, craving your release, feeling dizzy by how he surrounds you, and your fingers rub against your clit slowly and lightly
his eyes are transfixed on the sight, the bud swollen and coated in your wetness, and he tells you to pinch it, to be rough
pleasure already overwhelms you, but you listen, body shaking and hand struggling as you overstimulate yourself, pinching and rolling your clit between your fingers
Liu Kang practically purrs, telling you to keep doing that, to keep listening to him and being so good for him, groaning as he feels your pussy pulse around him in tandem with how you play with your clit
you can’t even warn him as you cum on his cock, keening loudly and rubbing at your clit in tight rough circles as you ride your high
the god just shoves his mouth to yours, devouring you completely as you lose yourself, his hips never stopping, never changing as he fucks you through your pleasure
only when you feel the last of your orgasm dribble out does his hips falter, and he groans into your mouth as he cums inside of you, fucking it deeper and deeper inside of you with each slowing thrust
eventually, he stops, his cock still buried inside of you, and he just kisses you, enjoying how you taste him as well, how you grow more gentle with your lips as your body starts to sag from exhaustion
Liu Kang helps you to your feet, smiling internally when you look up at him and ask in a feeble voice if he could carry you
he obliges, because how he could he not, and picks you up, the bend of your knees supported by one arm while his other arm supported your upper back
your arms wrap around his neck once more, and you tuck your head in against his chest, eyes closing slightly as you mumble that you don’t think you can walk anymore
glancing down at the mess you and he had made on the floor, he’s not surprised and presses a kiss to the top of your forehead as he brings you back to your room
he had you in his arms now, and he wasn’t going to let go

MK Men As Parents
Thanks to @mortal-kombat-shitposts and Tommy from the Discord server for giving me this idea <3
Characters: Liu Kang, Syzoth, Shang Tsung, Bi-Han
Note: gender neutral, mentions of periods in Syzoth’s part, not proofread
Masterlist
Liu Kang
Chill parent.
He makes time for his kid whenever he can, but he’s busy with being the defender of Earthrealm. I can see his kid mostly being raised by the monks at the Wu Shi Academy.
He trains his kid to the best of his ability, not wanting them to be defenseless in case of an emergency.
I don’t think they would go to Outworld much. Sindel wouldn’t even know Liu had a kid til they’re older.
Liu is very wise and gives the best advice. He’s there to calm his kid down should they ever get angry or upset. He expects his child to be truthful and always come to him if something’s wrong.
I can imagine his kid learning of his god status pretty early on, but not knowing of his past role as Keeper of Time until he’s forced to reveal it. Depending on their personality, this could cause some tension between them.
Syzoth
Assuming Syzoth’s child also has his ability to take a human form, he would drill it into their head that they are not a freak. Their human and Zaterran form are both beautiful to him.
Parenting is a unique challenge for Syzoth. While he easily handles the Zaterran aspects of raising a child, he finds it more challenging to comprehend human things such as periods, puberty, and tantrums.
Syzoth finds himself missing his family more and more each day. He feels bad his child won’t have much family to grow up around. I think because of this, Syzoth is a bit protective. He’s already lost so much, he can’t bear to lose the best thing in his life.
He’s nowhere near overbearing, but there are moments where he watches his kid like a hawk.
Shang Tsung
I can imagine Shang being a single parent, doing his best to raise a child in his shack. He spends most of the day out in towns, selling his fake cures. He trusts his child to be able to take care of themselves while he’s gone.
He’s a devoted father doing all he can to keep his child happy. He wants them to be smart, frequently having them reading above age-level and doing math problems most kids their age can’t comprehend.
Once Shang’s benefactor gives him his big break? Shang spoils the shit out of his child. Giving them the life they’ve always deserved. These are the days Shang’s child sees him smile the most. Gone are the days of tirelessly selling fraudulent medicine. It’s time to live lavish!
Bi-Han
Not the most emotionally available parent.
He’s not the type to show any emotion that isn’t anger, and he doesn’t know how to deal with others’ feelings. He tries his best, but he may not react to every situation the way his child needs him to.
He’s a strict father; a product of being the grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. His child has a lot of eyes on them, so they will be ruthlessly trained to be the best of the best.
He is a father first before he is a grandmaster. But, if he feels the need to put his foot down, his child will hear “obey your Grandmaster!”
He’ll never admit to it, but Bi-Han does spoil his child. Not as much as other characters would, though.
His strictness will only work for so long! If his child catches him on a good day, he may or may not let them skip training by feigning illness. If someone brings it up he’ll just say, “my child shows great dedication to the Lin Kuei. They have not missed a day of training.”

Hello!! Can you write about Smoke trying to ask fem. reader to be his date for Kuai Liang's wedding?
Plus One - Tomas x fem!reader (5+1 fic)
in which Tomas tries five times to ask you to be his date, and the one time he finally gets it right
a/n: i love weddings guys
ship[s]: tomas x fem!reader
warning(s): post-kanon
Tumblr media
1 - Johnny
Tomas had a plan.
Walk in the hosting room, hand you the small bouquet of wisterias, and ask you to accompany him to his brother's wedding.
Easy, right?
Wrong. Especially with a woman as beautiful as you.
You two weren't dating (yet), but Tomas had been pining after you for a couple of months now.
This wedding invite would double as an opportunity to ask you out completely.
Tomas holds the flowers he plans on giving you, stands in front of the door for a couple more seconds as he hypes himself up for you.
"You can do this," Tomas whispers to himself. Gripping on the handle of the door, he slides it open to meet you in a... precarious situation.
Johnny is chasing you around with one of Tomas's masks (elder gods know how that ended up in the hosting room). You were padding around the room in childish joy, but stopped once you saw him.
"Oh, Tomas!" you greet. "Sorry about that, Johnny dropped in for a visit for some research on Japan. Kuai Liang invited him in."
Your eyes drop to the wisteria bouquet.
"Who's that going to?" you ask.
Tomas tosses the bouquet out to the side, smiling tightly as he walks in and closes the door.
"Nothing! It was for sister..." he lies, guilty he's using Harumi as a scapegoat.
As you and Johnny continue playing, Tomas grits his teeth.
He has six days before the wedding. Day one didn't go so well, but he has six more days.
Yeah, he thinks, Tomorrow will go just fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 - Raiden
You and Tomas are greeted at the entrance of the Wu Shi by Kung Lao and Raiden.
"Welcome, our esteemed guests," Kung Lao teases. You roll your eyes, bowing halfway.
"Funny, Kung Lao," you greet with a smile. Tomas does the same thing.
Five days until the wedding and Tomas still has his bouquet waiting for you. Since today was a visit to talk about security for the wedding.
Perfectly stowed away in his shirt, Tomas is by your side as Kung Lao and Raiden talk about the safety of the bride and groom.
A monk suddenly rushes to Kung Lao's side, whispering to him about... something.
"Apologies, everyone!" Kung Lao announces. "I'll be taking my leave, but Raiden will show you two more of the details."
Waving Kung Lao off, Raiden begins to tour you guys around the place and offer more insight to security and what the monks can provide.
You'd think that Tomas would have the perfect opportunity to talk to you about the wedding and going as a couple, but he didn't.
Raiden was stuck to your side the entire day. Literally, glued to your hip as he showed you every nook and cranny about the academy.
It wasn't even about the security of the monks anymore. He showed you everything and everywhere of the academy.
Little by little, Tomas could feel his confidence wilt and waver. It wasn't until the sun set that you finally were able to address Tomas.
"Raiden is such a hospitable young man," you gush, hand on your cheek as you wave goodbye.
"What was it you wanted to speak to me about?" you ask, walking with him as a portal opens back to the compound.
Tomas tucks the bouquet deeper into his shirt, smiling tightly as he glares at Raiden.
"It can wait until dinner, dove," Tomas answers politely. You smile, and Tomas can feel the guilt take bigger bites out of his conscious.
Poor Raiden, he was just trying to be friendly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 - Kenshi
Four days.
Four days until the wedding and Tomas's chances have been ruined twice now.
No matter, since he still has time.
Today, Tomas knew no one would be taking up yours, his, or the clan's time at all. His bouquet for you was beginning to wilt a bit, but Harumi supplied him with plant food and a matching vase.
Carrying the flowers in its vase, he walks to the garden and pond in the back of the compound.
In all honesty, the days he got interrupted gave him time to practice his words for you. So this time around, he's more confident and ready.
Rounding the corner, he finds you sitting by yourself on the wooden ledge. The breeze was light and cool, and your hair billowed like a willow tree.
"Good morrow, dove," Tomas greets. You smile, a dust of pink over your cheeks.
Before you could say anything, Kenshi appears from the room behind you (was that always there? Tomas thinks). Though his eyes are no longer useful, his brows do the talking as they're up in surprise.
"Good morning, Tomas. What brings you here?"
A vein pops in his neck, and he bites back from saying "i live here, doofus". Keeping up appearances, he recovers and smiles semi-politely.
"I just finished training my students," Tomas answers.
You look to see that Tomas has the same flowers from a couple of days ago.
"I thought you had given that to Harumi already," you point to the flowers. "Did you not get it to her?"
Tomas mentally curses himself, "Ah, she wasn't in the other day."
Putting the flowers to the side, he sits down next to you and Kenshi, Kenshi to your left and him on your right.
You three are engrossed in conversation, and Tomas is actually okay with not being able to ask you out.
Besides, Kenshi is rational, Johnny was an idiot and Raiden was touchy (no he wasn't Tomas is just getting antsy).
I have tomorrow, Tomas thinks, Tomorrow I'll do it.
The wisterias keep bending over the lip of the vase, almost like a cursed rose counting down the time he had left before he'd be cursed forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4 - Kung Lao
With two days remaining until the wedding, Tomas's patience was running thin.
The wisteria bouquet was losing its color, and the taut petals were shriveling like raisins with the time passing like this.
Still, he remained hopeful. Just as there were wilting petals, there were still some that were bright and healthy.
"Today for sure," Tomas tells himself. "Today is the day I'll do it."
If Tomas had a ten yen coin for every time his allies came through and stopped his advances for you, he'd have three. It isn't a lot, but it is weird it happened three times.
Tomas opens another pack of fertilizer for the the flowers, dumping it in the water of the vase before he stirs it with a wooden dowel.
He's not bringing it today, since it looks like a bit of a mess. To replace it, he has a letter and a bouquet of baby's breath.
Leaving his room, he wanders the compound again to to try and see where you are.
It's a warm evening this time around, and the sun has barely just touched the horizon. Tomas can hear the birds chirp and fill the silence of nature, and he finally spots you.
You're by the entrance this time, leaning on the huge maple wood door frame while talking to someone. Despite the posture you're in, you look as regal as ever. The sun shines and illuminates your very features, and Tomas can't help but sigh like a school boy in love.
He steps closer, rounding the corner to see who could be making you cover your mouth as you laugh, only to find the silhouette of a sun hat.
"Oh, hello!" Kung Lao greets. His dimples are out as he smiles fully, pearly white teeth shining as he waves the smoke ninja over.
"Come join us! Little birdie over here was just updating me about the wedding plans!" Kung Lao yells.
You swat his shoulder and tell him to hush.
"You said you would not tell!" you scold. "This is a secret!"
Tomas hid the letter in his shirt and the bouquet in the pocket of his pants. He couldn't intervene, not now, and not when you were clearly enjoying the laughs Kung Lao was providing.
Still, Tomas remained by your side, back straight and putting up the best front he could. However, the bouquet in his pants portrayed a different story.
Tomorrow, Tomas thinks, I'll do it for real.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5 - Kuai Liang
The last day before the wedding.
Everything should have been in place so that the bride and groom could have time to relax and be with their respective parties before the day of the ceremony.
So why is it that you and Kuai Liang were together at a flower shop, piecing together his corsage?
It was strange, too, considering a corsage is a western practice- Japanese weddings didn't even need flowers unless it was for the bride.
Tomas didn't want to give up, not when the wedding was so close, but the fact he ended up following you and Kuai Liang to the flower shop in the village near the compound meant he was on thin ice.
And boy was he desperate.
Tomas was ready. His wisterias were healthy, the baby's breath was still in tact, and the flowers worked so well together. The letter was the perfect touch too.
So the fact he saw you and Kuai Liang leave together, he couldn't hide his frustrations any longer.
"Brother, I swear to the elder gods..." Tomas mumbles to himself as he watches you two from a roof nearby.
He was still thinking of a way to come up to you two naturally, and without showing the vase and letter.
At this point, though, and with the wedding tomorrow, he felt defeated. He felt like he had given up.
He keeps the flowers and letter on the roof, telling himself he'll get the later. He takes his mask off and ruffles his clothes to make it look like he ran errands.
Finally, he jumps down on the opposite end of the shop, walking down until you point out to Kuai Liang that you see him.
"Tomas! What brings you here?" you ask gleefully, unaware of the sadness that plagues his heart.
"Nothing, dove. Just running some final errands before the wedding tomorrow."
He spends the rest of the day with you and his brother, the flowers and letter sitting idly on the rooftop- just like his feelings rest idly in his heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1 - Harumi
You brush Harumi's hair one more time before rolling the hood over her head. Through the mirror, you look at her and offer her words of encouragement.
"Oh Harumi, I'm so happy for you," you say with a wobbly voice, tears lining the bottom of your eyes as you squeeze her shoulder.
You friend of many years, your ride or die, your platonic soulmate, was getting married to the most honorable man in the planet- in the realm!
How could you not be happy for her?
Harumi can sense that something is amiss with you, especially since you've been so excited for this wedding.
"What plagues your mind, my friend?" she asks, turning away from the vanity to hold both your hands.
You shake your head, "Nothing is wrong, just so overcome with joy."
Yeah, no. Harumi isn't believing a word since your tone didn't match the words you spoke.
"Come now, you can tell me," Harumi coaxes you gently. You can't help but fall victim to her charm, and you sit next to her to tell her about the week leading up to today.
From Johnny and his research, Raiden and the Wu Shi visit, even the little meets with Kenshi and Kung Lao, and you can't forget the fact that Kuai Liang took you to a flower shop to get a corsage made for Tomas.
All of these little things, talking to your friends about how to properly ask Tomas out to be your date, Harumi hears everything about your dilemma.
"Well... why don't you hear him now?" Harumi asks. He waves the handmaiden over, telling her that she's ready for the men to come in.
Kuai Liang and Tomas walk inside, wearing the traditional attire of a Japanese groom and best man. While Harumi is practically drooling over Kuai Liang, you can't help but be breathless in front of the European.
"Hi..." Tomas waves awkwardly with one hand, his other hiding something behind his back.
You give him the same salutation, gripping the corsage against your yukata.
"We will be outside getting ready, but the procession can't start until our best man and maid of honor are ready," Harumi tells you both.
Harumi winks at you while Kuai Liang is giving his younger brother a knowing glance. Tomas just waves him out.
"You look... lovely," Tomas finally says, eyeing you up and down. "Your yukata is a flattering color."
He wasn't lying. Harumi went to great lengths finding you the perfect yukata in your favorite color. She even got the best tailor in the country to fit it well against your body.
"I uh, wanted to give you something-"
"Wait! I have something as well," Tomas interrupts. He pulls out the thing you had been seeing through the weekend, the vase with the wisterias and the baby's breath.
"Oh... Tomas they're beautiful," you barely whisper. "For me?"
He nods, pointing to the flowers as he explains, "Baby's breath symbolizes everlasting love, and wisterias represent grace."
He meets your eyes, and you can see a bit of red at the corners indicating his shyness.
"This is my graceful everlasting love to you, not only as a friend, but as a suitor, if you'll have me."
You take the flowers and set them down on the vanity, taking the note from his hand as well and replacing it with the thing Tomas had seen earlier in the week.
Tomas looks down, "The corsage? But I thought-."
You shake your head, "No you goof, it wasn't for anyone but you!"
You then begin to explain how you spoke to each man about your crush on Tomas, and how you were gathering ideas on a gift to pair with your declaration of love.
Kuai Liang's idea was the best, and he offered to go out with you to fulfill that. Silly Tomas.
You take the corsage and pin it to the hem of his yukata. The flowers you chose were a white peonies and dark purple violets.
"The peony represents beauty and the violets represent faithfulness. You are the faithful, beautiful, dutiful man who has captured my heart."
Tomas is wide-eyed, and you recover yourself before your shame can eat you alive.
"If you'll have me..." You don't need to ask twice before Tomas takes your hand in his, kissing the back of your hand as he nods to the door.
"Are you ready to accompany me, my consort?" Tomas asks.
You nod, "Gladly, my loving suitor."
=====================
5+1 fics are so funny, this also makes me miss weddings
see you guys in the next fic!

masterlist <3
Tumblr media
•johnny cage sending you stupid fuckboy selfies while he's away at the wu shi academy training to be a champion (he hasn't been thru his character arc yet, he's still johnny "can't cut back" cage)
•he'd pull up his undershirt with his teeth and expose his midsection, looking into the camera with that trademark grin and wink combo that sends his fans to the moon
•sends u update pics on his build, sure, he was built before but his muscles came in even more defined with the excessive training the monks put him through

hi! maybe a little self indulgent but was wondering if you could write a lil drabble of earthrealm gang x yn (fem y/n if possible) but she’s related to shang tsung in some way (idk sister, daughter if u wanna get real silly) and shes just as pretty but just as mean :3c ty!
author note: In some the reader is the sister in others the daughter. Going for hcs for my mental health :)
Do you like what I write? Consider tipping on my ko-fi!
Johnny Cage: -He doesn't completely trust you, even if damn, you are hot. -Like he can't resist flirting with you even if it means getting the harshest rejection ever. -At this point, it is a challenge more than anything else. Once one of your failed potions exploded right into his face while he was blabbering one of his cheesy pickup lines. "You are smoking." "Hot?" "No, just smoking." You reply, pinching a strand of hair still on fire, extinguishing it. -You know 99% of boys stop flirting just before getting a date? Johnny's positive mindset won't let him fall for this trap. -Maybe you'll fall for his loserboy behavior…
Kenshi Takahashi: -Mh the ex-yakuza doesn't trust you one bit. Even if you never betrayed them. -It's just that you like lying a bit too much for his liking. -"I'll keep an eye on you." You chuckle "What eye? I don't see any on your face." You shrug his words off. -Nobody has ever been blacklisted this fast in Kenshi's mind. -But for real, he'll keep your every step checked ready to attack at any of your missteps. -"If you like spying on me so much you could take me out on a date so I can answer all your questions." You hear him choking on his saliva before snapping back. "How do you know I'm spying on you?" Your eyes widened getting closer to him "So I was right? You are spying on me? Damn, you must be so down bad for me-" -The idea of falling one of Wu Shi mountains sounds so good now for Kenshi. "Come pick me up at 9 p.m. and take me to a nice place it has been so long since I've eaten something nice." -Seems like Kenshi has a new problem to deal with. -Also because Madame Bo is the only place nearby…
Kung Lao: -He doesn't trust you at all, your mother may have been a nice woman but your father is terrible! And with your sharp words, Lao thinks you have taken his personality too. -"Begone sorcerer! My hat will slice you in two if you take another step closer." "I'm sure my words have done more damage than that stupid hat." -Actually, a friendship will develop thanks to your constant fights, not always won by you. -Raiden better if you stay alert, you have two sly foxes in the temple now
Raiden: -He isn't as wary as the others, after all you haven't done anything wrong. Being born from such an evil guy doesn't make you evil. -But damn, you can be so harsh with him at times. More than once Raiden wanted to remind you that if it wasn't for him you would be homeless and a loser just like your father. -But then Raiden remembers it's actually thanks to Liu Kang if you are there and bites his tongue. -You are also one of the few people able to make Raiden snap! Most monks never saw such fury before he met you. -"You should thank me. Weak minds don't last much in battle." "If you expect me to thank you for pissing me off you'll have to wait your entire lifetime, snotty sorcerer."
Liu Kang: -When he created this new timeline he hoped a sister could tone down Shang Tsung's evil intentions. -But at the end he threw you away, treating you like a stepping stone to the road to achieve his goal. -So Liu Kang took you in. That doesn't mean you will so easily forgive him for his mistake. -Your words slice his heart frequently. Not because you want to cry about your condition, it's mostly your fault after all, but simply because you like to tease that raw nerve that awakens a usually hidden side of him. -"Shut your mouth or I'll seal your lips forever!" "Ohhh-" you coo at his words "But then how I'll latch my lips at your throat? You seemed to like it yesterday." You say, pressing a finger on the spot where the hickey should be, already recovered thanks to his godly nature. -Liu Kang stomps his right foot on the ground before running out from your lab. How he can love you so much and despise you at the same time is something he still has to wrap his head around.
Geras: -A saint. You may tease, joke, just be nasty and Geras will reply with the calmest voice ever. -Liu Kang told him to make you feel at home and Geras takes his job seriously. -You nagged him a lot about the hourglass, making you take a small peak at it but he never let you close. -"You are too serious Geras, loosen up a little." "It's to compensate for your lack of rules." -You still have to warm up to each other…
Bi-Han: -He doesn't like you. AT ALL. -Bi-Han looks at you with a face dripping with scorn. Even if you are taller than him, he'll make you feel like an ant. -If you tease him too much he'll snap back and won't keep himself from hitting you. -But if you stroke his ego, promising him strength and glory… -As your brother told you "If you want men to do what you want stroke their ego and they will be at your feet." -He also did an analogy comparing the ego to a di- Okay I think the point is clear.
Kuai Liang: -He doesn't trust you, but if Liu Kang decided to keep you with them he won't oppose his decision. -Liang will often ask to train with you, mostly to test your skill level and eventually prepare for a future betrayal. -Also your lab will be often spied, checking if your experiments are safe and good for Earthrealm. -Till one day Liang found a small card on your desk "Train better your men, I could tell someone sneaked in the first time. Shirai Ryu won't last long otherwise." -He tightens the grip on the card, rolling it up before throwing it on the ground. -Liang was the only one that has been spying on you…
Tomas Vrbada: -He doesn't trust you immediately but he is one of the few to give you a chance. -Tomas won't be like a dog, following you around and completely trusting you, but he'll be one to bring you a hot beverage in cold winters when you are alone in your lab. -He answers wittily to your words and rarely he gets dejected. -"I suppose you won't survive in the Lin Kueis if you had a weak mind or if you are simply an idiot…" You whisper out, Tomas' ears catching your words anyway. "…You thought I was an idiot?" -You'd like to reply "Why the paste tense? I still do." but you decide to bite your tongue. You don't mind his company after all.

Okay, imagine that Johnny arrives at the Wu Shi Academy and meets reader, but they treat him in a very cold way and whenever he tries to talk to them, they avoid him. But it turns out that the reader is actually a big fan of Johnny (to the point they have a pet with his name 😭) and is very, very, very shy.
Hope my request isn't so silly 🙏
A Silly Little Crush
Prior notes: If this was considered silly I would be considered crazy. They would have put me in the loony bin a long time ago.
Pairing: Johnny Cage (MK1) x Gn reader
Warnings ‼️: I like the birds
Tumblr media
Johnny has made many enemies just by being famous. They’re just jealous of his fame, skills, and looks. And also because he could be an occasional dick but that’s irrelevant.
What he doesn’t understand is how he gained your ire without you saying a word to him. Ever since he came to the Wu Shi academy you have been acting colder than a glacier. He’s tried talking to you on multiple occasions but you wouldn’t say a peep. You would turn away from him with your arms crossed and your eyes closed like you were trying to block him out.
You were someone who helped out the monks. Brought food, helped cook, attended to the gardens, keep the place in tip-top shape. You were very welcoming to the champions, except to Johnny. The first time you saw him you froze up, blinking slowly like a frog. Before he could even place his hand out to shake your hand you walked away from him. It confused everyone. Your demeanor switched so quickly. Maybe you just had a moment. A hormonal shift or mood swing. It happens to the best of us. He’ll catch you on another day.
Day after day came yet you avoided him like the plague. There was always a distance between you two. Any time he would make an effort to talk to you, you would give him a side eye and not say a word. He could make a joke and you wouldn’t laugh. He would criticize someone’s fighting style and you wouldn’t agree. The only other reaction he could get out of you was when you tried to prevent a smile. You would chew the inside of your cheek to prevent any and all reactions. If it got too much for you then you would walk away.
Forget trying to make you interested in his conversations. He would intentionally talk loudly to get your attention if you were nearby. No matter what, you kept doing your task without a break in your stride. You kept sweeping the leaves off the path or hanging up the towels they use after training to dry. It got so annoying that Kenshi had to yell at Johnny to tone down his volume already.
“Why won’t they pay attention to me? What did I do?” Johnny complained.
“Can you really not accept that some people don’t like you? Leave them be already. You’re probably giving them more reasons to hate you.” Kenshi was so over it.
Johnny sighed in defeat. He had to face the music. He’s never gonna get your attention or even admiration. He never had a chance. Maybe he is just a dick.
══💤══╡°˖✧🦊✧˖°╞══💤══
The end of the day was the best time for you. Your work was done and you get to relax. But you also get the chance to let yourself be you. You quickly open your bedroom door, slip in, and lock the door.
“Woo, I’m back, Johnny.” You said in a cheerful tone.
Your severe macaw, whom you so lovingly named Johnny Cage, came flying at you before landing on your hand. You booped his beak as your strolled over to your bed.
“I got so many pictures of Johnny today. Let me show you.”
You open up your camera to show dozens upon dozens of photos you took of Johnny when he wasn’t looking. Some when he was training, some when he was eating, and some when he had his back turned towards you. In those instances, you would take a selfie with him in the background. You were always worried he would turn around while you were positioning yourself into the frame but you were lucky every time. He never caught on, and he hopefully never will.
If he found out you might actually die.
You’re happy to have him at a distance and be sneaky with your secret love for Johnny. You will appreciate every poster that he signed that your friends gifted you. You’re fine with watching his movies on your own. You’ll love him at a distance. It’s all you can do considering you’re worried about actually interacting with him.
You wish you could though. It’s hard for you. The reason you froze up the first time was because you were in such shock. You never imagined you would meet your favorite actor ever. But there he was standing in front of you. Not just that but he would be in close proximity for months! Freaking months! You walked away so you could tell all your friends what just happened, saying it in a whispering scream.
Every time Johnny came up to talk to you, you practically wanted to jump into his arms and shout how he was your favorite. Yell and shout about how he was an amazing actor and that every one of his movies is your favorite. But that’s not who you are. Speaking up is hard for you and even making an attempt to talk to Johnny felt like pulling a trigger. You wanted to laugh at his jokes but you were scared about embarrassing yourself. You don’t even have a weird laugh.
That’s enough beating yourself up for the night. You need your rest. You put your macaw on his perch and got yourself ready for bed. You laid in bed with your phone in your hand, scrolling through your album of Johnny photos. You start to succumb to your exhaustion and pass out soon after.
══💤══╡°˖✧🦊✧˖°╞══💤══
Hm, Johnny hasn’t seen you yet today. Usually you were up and helping to make breakfast for everyone. You were nowhere in sight. Strange.
What’s even stranger is when he was served his breakfast, his oatmeal didn’t have the usual smiley face made from fresh cut fruit. That threw everyone off.
“Woah, who did you piss off? Looks like someone didn’t feel like making you happy this morning.” Kung Lao pointed out.
This was unusual. First, you’re not around, now he doesn’t even get a pleasant breakfast. This just sucks. Johnny started to hear some of the monks talk about not seeing you this morning either. They found it strange since you are always up and running.
Johnny needed to get to the bottom of this. He played a detective on TV he can play a detective in real life. After breakfast he started looking around for your room. He asked some of the other monks where your bedroom was and they pointed him in the right direction. When he got to your room he began knocking, quietly at first before getting louder. The noise ended up spooking your macaw who started squawking like crazy. He woke you up with his loud bird mouth. You groaned as you sat up and looked down at your phone. By the gods, it was ten in the morning! You overslept! Now who will put a smiley face on Johnny’s breakfast?!
The door creaked open when Johnny began to open it. He had no clue what was up but when he looked inside he was shocked. Posters of his movies on your walls, autographs that were on your tableside, and magazines with him on the cover that were scattered all over the floor. This was…unexpected. Your macaw went flying towards Johnny, perching himself on his shoulder. This surprised Johnny but what was even more surprising was when your macaw placed his beak against Johnny’s forehead and made a kissing sound. You don’t know how he learned to do that. Maybe he learned to do that from watching you kissing your photos of Johnny. Oh what a mystery.
You were frozen in place once again. You didn’t know how to explain yourself. I don’t think anyone would know what to do. The only explanation that was reasonable was that…omg you do like him. You’ve liked him the whole time.
Johnny’s face went from a confused and surprised expression to one of pure joy. He was ecstatic to see all the merch you have of his. You even had posters of his box office failures! He’s not proud of them but to see you had them up showed how huge of a fan you are.
“You sly dog. You’ve liked me the whole time! You really made me think you hated me.” He felt so silly thinking anyone could hate him. You clearly don’t.
At that moment a message popped up on your phone, showing a picture of Johnny as your background. You both looked down and when you looked back up at him he had this mischievous smirk on his face. A phone hides many secrets. He wants to explore more of those secrets.
“Oh, what do we have in there? I bet you have some pictures of me.” He teased.
Yeah there were some…dozens of pictures in your phone that he does NOT need to know about. You snatched your phone away before he could get his hands on it. So that’s how you want to play, huh? Johnny doesn’t mind getting the answers the hard way. He crept towards you which made you leap out of bed. The chase was on. He started bolting for you, laughing at this amazing discovery he had made. You were running past all the monks and the other champions with Johnny hot on your trail. It was chaos at the academy with you and Johnny playing a game of cat and mouse and your macaw squawking like crazy from the madness. One of the monks yelled something in annoyance.
“Please silence Johnny already. We have discussed his squawking problem.”
“And you named your bird after me?! This is so awesome!”
Johnny seems pretty pumped about this new discovery. The remaining months he has to stay at the academy are gonna be a blast. It will be a blast for you but will also be an embarrassing torment.
After notes: I'm sorry if this isn't correct. I feel like I made this too obsessive or stalkerish. I did find the idea cute though. For some reason Johnny reminds me of Squakabilly from Pokémon (the green one to be more specific) so that's why I made the pet a macaw. I should lie down now. Adiós!

❝ [a normal cat...] ❞
✦ oneshot : raiden x catshifter!reader
╰ ➤ fluff, gn reader, implied smut, nudity
(♡) synopsis: raiden trained in dedication at the wu shi academy and the academy's cat always seemed to follow him everywhere. He never thought much of it until one day, the cat turned out to be something else as a naked and rather extremely attractive person, sat on his lap where the cat previously was.*ੈ✩‧₊˚
a/n: Oml this was so fun to write! I hope you guys enjoy this story and yes, there's no full on descriptive smut in this so sorry hehe
Tumblr media
༉‧₊˚✧Raiden's hand ducked under the table, handing you a piece of his breakfast while the champions talked. You happily accepted it and meowed at the man which caught the attention of the others.
Johnny raised a brow. "That cat's always around, huh. Who does it even belong to?"
"Does it matter," Kenshi spoke up, clicking his tongue to catch your attention. You smiled and decided to indulge in his actions, walking over to brush your head against his hand. "What if it's just a stray who likes to wander this area? Either way, I heard the monks take care of them. Their name is Y/n, I think."
Raiden smiles, looking down at you. "Y/n seems to enjoy our company."
Kung Lao scoffs. "Yeah right! They nearly bit me yesterday, I think they like you the most Raiden."
"You think?" He says, innocent eyes gleaming as he watched you trot back to him.
The champions then continued to eat their breakfast, making sure they were ready for another day's training while you sat yourself amongst Raiden's lap. His hand would brush against you and feed you bits of food every now and then. You could say you were being selfish, taking advantage of your cat form just to get close to your crush. But it quickly ended when Liu Kang announced that training would begin. You couldn't help but glare at the god. Raiden carefully picked you up, petting your head before walking toward the training grounds. Unfortunately, as you tried to follow him out the door, Liu Kang's foot blocked your path.
"Y/n," He gave you a stern look, almost like a parent scolding their child.
"What?" You whispered back.
"It's rather immature for you to be doing this. When will you introduce yourself to them normally?"
You huff, sitting down with an obvious annoyance portrayed by your tail. "I just don't wanna, plus, Raiden won't give me as much attention as he does now."
Liu kang rolls his eyes and lifts you up. You unwillingly let him, ears tucked back. "You're just like your previous self." He sighs.
"Oh really, how was I like in the prior timeline?"
"Obsessed with Raiden and always clinging to him." He says with amusement. "I thought maybe you'd be more tame this time, but you're exactly the same."
You chuckle. "Y/n's always gotta be Y/n."
"Unfortunately." Liu Kang smiles, carrying you over to where the men were training. He held you in his arms while observing the champions stances. You felt proud watching how attentive Raiden was in his movements. He was very dedicated to his role.
"Have you decided on who earth realm's champion will be?" You ask.
Liu kang hums, his own hand brushing along your fur. "I have decided, yes. But I'd rather keep it to myself until the time arrives."
You nod in understanding, turning your gaze back to the champions, eyes glued to one in particular. He was the sweetest man you've ever laid your eyes on. You could remember clearly when Liu Kang first arrived with the initiatives and your heart thumped. It was like love at first sight and because of it, you feared of showing them your human form, especially to Raiden.
You snapped out of your thoughts noticing the orange hue of the sunset. "Has time truly passed this quickly?" You questioned to yourself.
Liu Kang then placed your small body back onto the ground. You look up to him and he tilts his head in the direction of Raiden, a small smile on his face. You stuck your tongue out at him and quickly padded your way after him.
Raiden hadn't noticed you following him, your small paws making it extremely difficult for him to hear you, but you halted your steps as you saw him turn into the path that led straight to the Wu Shi hot springs. Your mind quickly flourished with many thoughts of Raiden's physic and you suddenly felt light-headed.
"Should I follow him? Ugh I'm such a creep. What will he think if I showed him my human form? Would he still like me?!"
You cursed under your breath, tiny paws taking slow steps one after another until you arrived to the hot springs. And there he was, his chest and lower half submerged in the hot liquid. Your mouth went dry as your cat like eyes stared at him. He was completely unaware, head tilted back with his eyes shut, a small smile on his face as he let out a satisfied sigh.
You slowly approached him, knowing damn well all he had was a white little towel around his waist to cover him. Your paws dapped the water, testing the temperatures before entering. Even though it was shallow, your tiny body felt as if it were a lake. Tiny paws swishing in the water to keep you afloat.
Raiden's eyes flickered open, seeing you swimming in tiny circles. "Y/n?" He calls. "I thought cats didn't like water." He chuckles.
You meow, because what else could you possibly do without freaking him out.
He then moves forward and your brain short-circuits. "Oh lord, oh lord, his body!!!" You internally squeal. His hands wrap around your tiny frame and pulls you close to his chest and your eyes were stunned. "Why did I do this to myself!"
He cuddles you into his chest, content with relaxing in the hot springs with you, but you were having an internal war in your head. Dirty thoughts swarming and torturing your mind.
In a panic, a soft poof sound erupts out of nowhere, pink smoke enveloping the entirety of the hot springs.
Raiden coughed a little, swatting away the strange pink smoke until the place had finally cleared. He placed his hands back on what he assumed would be the cat but was met with a bare. . . human chest. His hands now on someone's waist rather than a cats.
Your eyes met his and silence filled the area aside from the noises of the nightly critters. You gulped, fear consuming you as your legs were around Raiden's thighs, hands on his shoulder. "H-hi." You say nervously.
Raiden in complete shock, trails his eyes from your head to your waist and then back up at you. Quickly, his hands fly to his sides and his eyes shut. "I'm sorry!" He yells. "Um- who are you, if you don't mind me asking?" He questions, eyes still screwed shut.
"Y/n." You say feeling awkward about the whole situation, but you couldn't bring yourself to pull away.
"T-the cat. . .?" Raiden's eyes hesitantly open back up, quickly training them to only look at your face.
You nod. "I'm friend's with Liu Kang. . . I was supposed to introduce myself when you guys got here, but I never did- properly at least."
Raiden nods his head slowly and purses his lips. He was doing everything in his power not to get a boner from the way your ass was sat atop of him, a mere white towel separating you two.
"Umm," He looks away. "It's nice to finally meet you then, Y/n."
"Yeah same. I wasn't supposed to transform just now though. . ." Your voice trails off. "Perhaps a malfunction. . .?" You whisper to yourself, brows furrowed in thought.
Your eyes quickly shoot to Raiden's as you feel his hands place themselves on your hips. He gives you a sheepish smile, before guiding you off of him and standing. "I'll get you a towel, please stay here." He bows quickly and rushes off.
You watch him, eyes looking at his ass for a bit before your palms slap your flushed face. "God, I'm such a creep!"
By the time he came back, he helped you out of the hot spring and covered you up with the towel. You noticed how he had his attire back on besides his jacket. "Here," He gestures the fabric toward you. "It's going to be cold on the way back."
Your eyes flicker between the jacket and him, gingerly taking it from his hands and draping it around you. "Thank you." You look away in embarrassment.
Raiden smiles. "We should had back, it's late."
You agree, both you and Raiden walking back toward the academy grounds. You felt a little guilty as Raiden stood out in the cold, shirtless. It was a peculiar situation, you and Raiden casting each other glances without each other knowing. Raiden had to admit that you were extremely attractive and he never thought his mind would be addled with such lovey dovey scenarios. Perhaps in his younger days, but now? He had never pondered on such things till he laid his eyes on you.
Raiden cleared his throat. "Should I walk you back to where you stay?" He asks.
"No it's okay. I'd rather you get back first, after all I'm technically of higher status. I must make sure the champions are taken care of, then I'll head back to Lord Liu Kang." You say, head turning to look at Raiden. Raiden had his brows furrowed in thought and it worried you. "Is something wrong Raiden?" You ask.
He hesitates for a moment. "I um. . . you're relationship with Lord Liu Kang. . . is it-"
"We're just close friends, nothing more. Why? Are you looking to start something?" You tease him a little, your confidence growing as you grew more comfortable in your human form.
Raiden raises his hands up in embarrassment. "No no, I mean. . . it does sound nice. You're very attractive and I- nevermind. I'm rambling, sorry."
You chuckle and notice you guys arrived to Raiden's room.
Raiden lets out a disappointed sigh. "I'll be seeing you then?" He says.
You shift in your spot, hand gripping onto his jacket. Your eyes shifting to the distance and then back to Raiden. You so badly didn't want this interaction to end, craving more time with the kind man.
"If it's not too much. Perhaps I could stay the night?" You nervously looked to him and his eyes widened.
His hand scratched the back of his neck, a creeping blush upon his features. "O-of course. You can definitely stay the night!" He says a bit more excited than he intended to.
He opens the door for you and you bow walking through. The scent of his room filling your nostrils. You smiled seeing how organized and clean it was.
"Someone knows how to take care of themselves." You give a halfhearted laugh.
Raiden chuckles. "I try, afterall I'm just a guest here."
You hum, sitting yourself on his bed. You were going to unzip Raiden’s jacket but halted, realizing that all you had was a towel to cover yourself without it. Raiden seemed to notice your concern and blinked in thought. "Sorry, maybe we didn't think-"
You were quick to cut him off, raising a hand to silence him. "It's okay. . .if you're okay with it. . ."
Raiden gulps. "I uh, yeah. I'm okay with it." He says, eyes watching how you began to strip yourself to nothing. And boy did Raiden keel over at the sight. You smirked and gestured your head to him, waiting for him to shed his clothing too.
By the time both you and Raiden settled on the bed, it was evident that it was not going to be a simple sleepover. Your body quickly going over his. “I might be selfish, but I don’t think I wanna just sleep here.” You whisper, ghosting your lips over Raiden’s. Your hand trailing up his arm to his neck.
Raiden’s eyes looked down at your lips, eyes now half-lidded, his breath becoming more heavy at the sexual tension. “I don’t think I just want to sleep either.” He says, hands massaging the sides of your body, his hardened dick swelling with need.
And your lips were on each other, hands passionately exploring each other's bodies throughout the night. The room was filled with the sounds of passionate sex, two lovers eager to discover more about each other and please each other beyond words as the night went on.
However, the next morning was extremely hectic as Raiden was swarmed with questions on what he did last night- hickeys littering his neck and collarbone.
Liu Kang slowly turned his head to you in your cat form with the biggest smirk a cat could ever have.
"Y/n." He calls your name in a serious tone.
"Yeahhh???" :3

Watching your AU with the deceased Kung Lao (wonderful but sad AU 🥺)
I can't stop thinking about how sorry I am for Kung Jin. Yes, I certainly feel sorry for Raiden, who lost a friend, and Liu Kang, who lost a friend for the SECOND TIME.
But I can't stop thinking that Lao's younger cousin will feel the pain of losing a family member. In Mortal Kombat X, we were well made to understand that Jin cherished Lao very much and even went to Hell to save him (which I consider a very selfless and brave act). And this is despite the fact that the family turned away from Lao, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to be saved...
In this timeline, I think Jin is still a child or a teenager. I think he has a very strong and friendly relationship with Lao and the news of his death will be difficult.
It's so insulting that in the last timeline and in this one (according to this AU), the poor boy goes through such a traumatic experience
Your AU is beautiful in that it really makes me think about what might be going on in it! I hope you will continue to develop this idea, because it is wonderful. And you are beautiful! And your work!🥺💖💖💖
Tumblr media
pre mk1, they haven't seen each other in a while, Kung Lao picked up Jin from school and they are going to train at Madam Bo’s 😊
I'm with you on this pookie, amen to every word. 😔 Jin is slowly becoming one of my favorites, and now that you mentioned (i.e. I’ve been thinking about this for weeks), I’m wondering, what he’ll do after Lao’s death... No idea, what NRS are planning for our Shaolin punk in this timeline, but let me overthink that ONE mention of him we got so far (leaving out the cameo in Armageddon chapter) for this au. XD
They ARE very close, though they don’t visit each other often. Jin adores his older cousin and he’s looking up to him, of course it feeds Lao’s ego, ahahh.
After the mk1 story, Lao will follow Kenshi’s advice to quash Jin’s interest in criminal world, checking on him when he can. Unfortunately, it won’t be enough, and as the time goes (it has been several years between the mk1 story and Lao’s death), Jin will eventually find some trouble for himself. He is still too young for traveling and becoming a freelancer thief like in mkx, but he might join the local gang, or something like that.
When Kung Lao dies, Jin’s grief will manifest in a form of respecting his cousin’s words. He’ll leave his criminal life behind and will go to the Wu Shi Academy. I really like how proudly he calls himself a Shaolin monk in mkx intros, so I want him to choose this way. And I think Jin’s presence and willingness to follow in the footsteps of Lao will help Raiden with his grieving too.

Shang Tsung x Reader: A Chance To Prove Yourself
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~ The leaves all swooshed on the tree they were bound to in reaction to the wind. The same tree you sat under, sulking as you usually did. A decent distance away from the Wu Shi Academy you used to be devoted. Now it made you sick in a way. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself, you pointed blame at the Thunder God that shut you down.
You remember all too well the secondhand embarrassment and devastation when Raiden bluntly turned you down from joining Earthrealm's champions. Right in front of your best friends, Kung Lao and Liu Kang. The demigod claimed you weren't skillful enough and your ego would get you killed in battle. Yet somehow Lao still gets to go?! The equally arrogant bastard was also confused on that part.
"Maybe Lord Raiden just wants to protect you." You recalled Liu Kang reasoning for his father figure. Bullshit. You may have started late but you train just as hard.
Ever since that situation happened, you became distant with those two. You didn't hold any resent for them, hopefully, but being around them after that made you feel negative. They're good friends and you didn't want to bring the mood down.
Dreading on about everything you were unaware of someone creeping up behind the tree.
"...And she sits alone, wondering if she will ever be good enough. Or perhaps wallowing in self-pity, believing all of them are wrong and don't deserve her strength."
You turned to whoever it was narrating you with a supercilious tone. Opening your mouth with the intent to tell them to shut the hell up, only a gasp would come out when that specific voice belonged to Shang Tsung. You knew Liu defeated him before, but it was definitely not so simple You hopped up ready for a fight with the old, evil coot.
He raises a steady hand as if he isn't looking for a fight. "Oh, so 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 going to defeat me? Do you think you'll win?" Shang asks with continuing patronization.
"No." You lost your battle stance and stood there normally, feeling stupid to even think that. Your ego couldn't be more destroyed so it's easy to be put in your place.
"Good girl. Smart." Shang chuckles and slowly walks to you. You only kept your head down. Carefully with his clawed finger guard, he tilts your chin up. "Poor Y/n. You have so much potential. Truly a loss for Earthrealm that Raiden doesn't let you fight beside him- or your close allies."
"What would you know?" You sneered, eyes following him as he walked behind but you didn't dare move your head even slightly.
"Quite a lot, actually. From the very moment he put you down, up to your friends deserting you."
"Deserting me?" Confused, you faced him and immediately corrected him. "Liu and Lao never deserted me. I just... hang out with them less. Purposely."
The old villain narrowed his maroon eyes at your rebuttal. "And have they ever asked you why? Check on you like they're supposed to? Have they ever even stood up to the foolish demigod and defended your progress?"
Being completely gagged, you couldn't defend that. The answer to those questions were all the same. "...No."
"You call them friends?" Shang shakes his head. "How does that make you feel? Don't you want to prove yourself? Show off truly what you're capable of?"
"Of course, I do!" You snap- not out of anger- but with newfound motivation. "But I train a lot every day. What more can I do?"
He pretends to think on it, you hardly notice. "I could offer my own mentoring to you, if you wish. Help you be advanced than whatever cheap combat monks do." Plotting with his back turned from you, his eyes gleamed at an extra part of the offer. Something you'd likely be interested in. "Say, do you have your own arcana?"
"I don't actually. Why?" As expected, you became more interested. You couldn't shoot fireballs or teleport annoyingly around the perimeter. But what you could do is deny the snake's offer and be a boring rejected fighter. Nope. "Could you get me one?"
"Easily." He nods, then extends his hand. "Is it a deal?"
Almost taking his hand, you retracted a bit. "Wait, what would you be getting out of it? I don't want to be accused of treason or you make me hurt them. They're not perfect but-"
"Oh dear, I would never make you hurt them. I'm trying to help you do the opposite actually. How lovely it would be to make them proud by being just as- pardon me- more powerful than them combine! And you wouldn't get in trouble unless you go chatting which I trust you wouldn't."
It all seems easy and promising. "Deal!" You smile and shook his hand, suddenly getting the feel of something awful overwhelm you. But you pushed it off thinking it was just excitement.
"Now why don't we return to my palace and discuss giving you magic." Shang begins walking away and you were quick to follow your new mentor.
"How long will that take? Won't Liu Kang or Kung Lao notice I'm missing?"
"You think so?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~

reblogging is very much appreciated! ᕙ(‾̀◡‾́)ᕗ
/ᐠ。 。ᐟ\
It's been a couple of weeks since Johnny left you in Malibu to go to Wu Shi Academy, and you were lying on your shared bed, alone. Every day felt longer than the other without Johnny, your mutual agreement of calling each other every other day was the only thing you looked forward to at the end of the day. Your phone lay resting beside you as you felt it buzz. Your thoughts of Johnny were immediately cut off as you rose from your sheets feeling elated seeing his name on the screen, you felt pathetic that even seeing his name displayed at the top of the screen gave you a rush of excitement.
On the other line, Johnny was lying on his uncomfortably stiff cot with sore muscles after an exhausting day of training with the monks. Weeks of being without you was leaving him frustrated, sexually frustrated. He hadn't had any time to himself and was practically thinking about you every second of the day. He was tossing and turning hard as a rock just from the thought of you. He shamefully reached over to his nightstand and grabbed his phone to press on your contact, waiting anxiously to see if you'd pick up to help him relieve himself.
"Hey, baby..."
As soon as you heard the sound of his deep groggy voice it almost made you melt right into the bed sheets. It took you a couple of seconds of silence before responding with a shy "Hi Johnny." Your tone was a bit off, it sounded like you were trying to play off your elation, which you were but that’s not important.
Johnny exhaled a soft chuckle, he felt nervously hot every time he heard your sweet voice. “Hey darling… I know it’s late but I wanted to check on you” You could hear the strain on his voice, the restraint in his tone. He was definitely holding something back.
You held the phone listening to his tiresome voice through the speaker, holding it as if it were Johnny himself, giving it a sultry smile hearing how deeply he cared for you. "I'm doing okay.. would be better if you were here with me." The weariness in your tone grew as you considered how far apart you two were, quietly looking over at the side of the bed he typically slept on, envisioning his presence.
Johnny smiled. Your need for him was comforting for him, knowing how much he suffered from the gap between the two of you as well, knowing how much he needed your closeness. "I know, I’ve missed you so very much… I have been thinking about you so much lately you have no clue." He added with a grin and low chuckle looking down at how turned on he was by just you conversing with him.
He was going crazy still needing to get rid of his hard-on, the sound of your voice was only making it worse. "Nothing would make me happier than to be with you right now. I've been thinking about you... thinking of what we might do if you were here..." He reached down under his itchy covers and began to palm himself to the thought of you and what you were currently doing, thinking about what position he'd put you in when he gets home, what noises you'd make when he finally gets his tongue on your sweet cunt.
He let out a quiet whiny groan feeling how incredibly hard he had gotten since the call started. Setting the phone in his left hand, Johnny continued rubbing himself through his boxers as he felt a small patch of pre-cum starts to stain them. The sound he let out almost instantly gave you chills of arousal, making you immediately wet. "Yeah? What were you thinking?" Biting at your bottom lip, your hand slipped down under your pajama shorts to massage your aching clit. Soft moans sliding off your tongue could only faintly be heard by him as he let out a pleasureful groan at the sight of his leaky cock springing out of his boxers.
Johnny's arousal kept getting higher and higher the longer he thought about all those painful times he was left to his own thoughts, long nights of imagining every tiny detail on your body. "Oh, you know..." He said as he made long and slow strokes listening to your quiet noises. "I was thinking about how much I miss your presence... I miss having you right by me, how you fit so nicely against me. How your lips feel on mine, and that mouth... that god damn mouth." His voice increased in frustration as he let out a guttural groan seeing the pre-cum dribble down his fingers. As your slick dripped down, and covered your thighs, your fingers slipped more easily inside, and your moans became more frantic and louder sending Johnny into an entranced state.
Johnny squeezed at his cock a bit firmer as he envisioned your mouth replacing his hand, oh how he missed how your warmth coated him. "Are you touching yourself, princess?" He questioned while shutting his eyes and imagining what you look like while on the call with him. You couldn't get out any words as your mind was completely occupied by the thought of all of the times you had your mouth on him. Gentle moans were spilling out of your mouth, quiet chants of his name filling the room. All you could do was hum out a weak and whiny "Mhm.." while tears of pleasure were threatening to fall from the corners of your eyes.
inaudible praises to you were falling from his mouth, he felt his cock twitch in his hand every time you moaned for him. You were starting to claw at your sheets in anticipation of your orgasm, and your back was arching off of the bed. Johnny could hear how close you were to your peak and let out a satisfactory sigh feeling he was also nearing his by how his strokes were uneven and getting sloppier. Johnny pried his eyes open to view his hand viciously stroking himself as cum spurted out and leaked down onto his lower stomach while still pumping up and down. You bit your lip stifling your moans as your orgasm hit you hard, cum was spilling onto your fingers as you continued pumping in and out trying to draw out your orgasm. Johnny felt himself twitch in his hand as he milked himself dry feeling much better now that he finally subdued his frustration.

,,,,,,,,part 2 to “your thoughts and mine” ??
Tumblr media
your thoughts and mine pt.2
a/n: ofc my fellow mk 2021 kung lao fucker
pairing: bi han, kuai liang, tomas vrbada x afab!reader
warnings: nsfw (MDNI), creampies, pussy eating, idk just horny
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you stare as the Lin Kuei arrive at the Wu Shi Academy to finish you and the other’s training, and you nervously tug at the edge of your gloves
usually you wouldn’t be wearing them, unneeding anymore with the relationship that had developed between you and the others, but you don’t know the Lin Kuei all that well
their grandmaster stands in the front by Liu Kang while Kuai Liang and Tomas stand behind them, wearing their masks and staring at the five of you
Kung Lao and Raiden shift around excitedly, ready to test their new skills against them while Kenshi shifts around a bit more nervously
Johnny looks positively irritated, fists clenching as he glares at Bi Han specifically, probably still peeved that the grandmaster had broken his hichuli
but you don’t have any feeling toward them, just nervousness at the sight of the strangers, only knowing them through the stories from the others
Liu Kang had recruited you personally and hadn’t brought along the assassins with them
you’re snapped back to the present as they stalk forward, almost like predators sizing up their prey, and you tap your fingers against the side of your thighs to try and suppress a shiver at the sight of them
the god in front of you introduces them to you and the others, saying that they will be there to help finish up your training and enhance the skills that they have learned here
all three of them size the five of you up, and the grandmaster scoffs at the sight of all of you, clearly not happy to be here
you avert your gaze and follow Liu Kang when he beckons for all of you to walk with him to the training grounds, and you hold your breath when he starts calling up the champions for sparring
thankfully, Kung Lao and Bi Han go first, and you watch with bated breath as they spar, Bi Han summoning his blades of ice and Kung Lao moving much like the wind to parry and deal blows
as the spar ends, Bi Han over Kung Lao with the blade pressed to the monk’s neck, Liu Kang calls off the spar and looks to you and the others to ask why Kung Lao had lost
all of you give advice, giving points and demonstrations on how Kung Lao could avoid blows and look for weak spots, and you beckon Kenshi to the training grounds to show a move
demonstrating it a few times, you brush some dirt from his face and try to give him a soft smile for lightly roughing him up, and he turns his head to kiss the palm of your cheek
you flush and roll your eyes, walking back to the crowd and waiting for Liu Kang’s verdict on the next fight
the day passes by similarly, and you steel your breath and bring it back into your body as you circle the ring across from Tomas
he had already been in one match already against Kenshi, but he doesn’t even look the slightest bit tired
raising your gloved fists, you wait for his attack as he spins the karambit in his hand, and one second he’s across the ring and another second he’s directly in your face, about to tackle you down
you move on instinct, dodging and attempting to get out of the situation and ending up where he had previously been in the ring
the two of you play a game of cat and mouse for a minute longer before you finally decide to make the first move, and he reacts quickly
his body moves like mist, dissipating whenever you try and strike him, and you try not to let it get to your head as he dodges almost every single one of your strike
a few of them do land, but not enough to justify hurting him and you struggle to keep your breath steady as you fight him
his experience clearly shines through as he slams you down into the dirt, and the wind is knocked out of you as you gasp for air
he leans over you, asking if you were okay, and you groan, world still spinning upon its axis and pain stinging and pounding at the back of your head
Tomas slowly helps you up, keeping a careful watch of you, and his head comes up to your hair, feeling for any bump on the back of your head
when his fingers leave, they only slightly brush against your neck, but you can hear his voice clear in your mind, saying that you need more practice
he stands up and holds a hand out for you, and you take it, pulling yourself up and turning your face away from the others, slightly embarrassed at how easily you had lost
Liu Kang however doesn’t ask for any advice for you, he only dismisses you back to the ring while Johnny steps up to the ring against the gray assassin
you glance over at the god, a little frustrated, a little angry, and a little curious as to why he hadn’t asked to give you any advice
Bi Han keeps his glare focused on the ring, but Kuai Liang glances at you, telling you that you did well for a fighter with no previous experience
looking back at him, you give him a shy duck of your head, hand coming up to touch the back of your head just to personally confirm there wasn’t a bump
he nods to you and looks back to the ring, the both of them a blur in the field as they spar with each other, and you wonder what the others are thinking
the day ends and none of you except for Johnny has won, and it only served to inflate his boosted ego
you and Kenshi suffer the brunt of the bragging at the dinner table as Kenshi sits next to Johnny and you sit directly across from the actor
he sends you a wink, asking if he gets a prize from you for winning tonight, and you laugh and hold out your bare hand for him to take
his warm hand encompasses your own, and you send him images on you on your knees in front of his spread legs
Johnny’s knee slams into the table, sending all eyes to him, and you withdraw your hand with a sly smile but not before telling him through your connection to meet you in your bedroom tonight
the rest of the dinner flies by without incident, except for Kung Lao complaining about his sore muscles and then sending Raiden a flirty glance and saying that he should help get all those kinks out
when Raiden glances over to the assassins giving an unimpressed look towards the monk, Raiden declines the offer
which is when Kung Lao turns his attention to you, batting his eyelashes and asking if you would help roll out his muscles and maybe he’ll help you relax too
you sigh, but the small smile on your lips betray your amusement
tilting your head to Johnny just slightly, Kung Lao pouts and turns back to his food, sighing into his food and bemoaning his bad luck today
Bi Han lets out a tch sound and stands from the table and excuses himself from dinner, and you can feel his chill even as he passes by you
Kuai Liang and Tomas glance at each other and continue eating their food, keeping their conversation light as you and other defenders talk
soon enough, the dinner bell tolls in the air, and all of you start collecting the empty dishes to bring to the kitchens
just as you leave the room, Liu Kang steps in front of you, and you pause, bowing your head at him
he asks for you to follow him, and you purse your lips together and hand your dishes over to Johnny, telling him to wait for you and that you’ll be back soon
the walk to his office is silent, and you fidget with your fingers, realizing that you hadn’t brought your gloves with you and had left them at the dinner table
hopefully, you wouldn’t accidentally touch anyone
as Liu Kang opens up the door, you spot the eldest brother sitting near his desk, scowling at you and clearly unhappy to see you
the god ushers you inside and closes the door behind you, finally speaking to you and saying that he hadn’t recruited you to fight for the defenders
you turn to him in confusion and then rage at the fact that you had been torn from your life to participate in something you had no worth in
he holds his hand up, saying that it was good for you to learn self-defense, but your true purpose was to help him gather information
lately, there were rumors of a sorcerer in the the ears of Sindel, and he needed confirmation and information about the sorcerer, someone who had the power to upset the peace he had tried very hard to keep
the only other seat in the room is the one across from Bi Han and suddenly you understand why Liu Kang had brought you here
your hands shake as you kneel across from Bi Han on the soft pillows, and he holds his hands out and Liu kang reassures the assassin that you wouldn’t be able to procure any valuable information just yet
the god tells you to try and find Bi Han’s favorite food from his memories, and you give him a nod and then look into the assassin’s glaring eyes
the grandmaster purses his lips and holds one hand out, and you take a breath, hesitating for just a moment, before you finally place your hand in his
his thoughts freeze you, sending shivers down your spine, as if his coldness was just a part of his being, and you can hear his brain practically shouting at you
thoughts of you being incompetent, a terrible fighter, a worthless defender, and you pull your hand away and give the grandmaster an indignant look, calling him a pompous ass
the grandmaster nearly shoots out of his seat to smack you into the ground, but Liu Kang places a calming hand on his shoulder and tells him to stand down
reluctantly, Bi Han sits back down, and he tells the grandmaster to clear his thoughts and to perhaps be a little nicer to you
once more he settles back down, and he holds his hand back out for you, his eyes focusing on your face and scowling at you
you glare right back at him and firmly press your hand into his, determined to get this damn session over with, and you dive your way into his head
this time his head is clear, like a basin of water, and when you peer in, you can see swirling memories sitting just a dip in
slowly, you bring your hand into the water of his memories, and they slightly ripple and distort and grip onto your hand, as if sensing the intruder
Bi Han’s grip on your face tightens, and you grit your teeth and push through looking for his memories of his favorite food
soon enough, something surfaces that looks just right, and you pull it from the water, a memory of his mother patting the grandmaster’s head and placing a dish of egg and tomato on the table
Bi Han rips his hand from yours just as the memory disappears, and you open your eyes from your concentration to look at his angered expression
he presses an accusatory finger into your chest, saying that you had no right to intrude on his private memories like that, and you hiss back that he had actually given you full permission when he had held his hand out willingly
you turn and tell Liu Kang that his favorite dish was egg and tomato before standing up and stomping out of the room, slamming the door behind you
time had flown quickly when you had rummaged through Bi Han’s memories, and the moon now sat at the high point of the sky, almost like hours had passed
hurrying back to your room, you find Johnny fast asleep on your bed, dressed in only slacks and on his side, hand curled over your side of the bed
you sigh and get ready for bed, climbing into the covers and placing his arm around your waist, and he stirs, mumbling that he was tired
your hand goes to his face, and you try to convey just exactly how sorry you are that you had broke your promise, you’ll make it up to him in the morning
he smiles and whispers out an alright, his mind going fuzzy and then blank as he falls back into dreamland
nuzzling closer into him, you try and do the same, pushing out Bi Han’s comments about you out of your mind
the next few weeks are similar, you sit out most of the training sessions and watch from the side, only participating when Liu Kang tells you to so that your self-defense skills stay fresh
at night, he brings the three Lin Kuei warriors, only one at a time to help you learn how to navigate their memories and their thoughts to look for information
apparently, they were good practice for you since they all had much stronger fortitude than the others, and you hate to say it, but you agree with Liu Kang
Johnny, Kung Lao, Kenshi, and Raiden weren’t terribly good at hiding their thoughts or resisting you when you touched them
they tended to just project whatever they wanted to into your head, and you had learned many many things about them this way
today was a warm day with a cool breeze, and you sit and watch Kung Lao spar against Bi Han and look to Tomas as he sits down next to you
he gives you a nod of acknowledgement, and you turn your head back to the fight
his fingers brush against yours, and no thoughts or images come forth
it had taken a bit of practice, but you could now choose whether or not to take in their thoughts when you touched others
you can feel Tomas’s thoughts prodding at your brain, as if wanting to talk to you, and you let him in, interested in knowing what he wanted that he didn’t want to say it outloud
his voice is much more timid in his head this time, almost as if he’s embarrassed to ask the question, and you tilt your head and wait for him to tell you his question
finally, his thoughts rush toward you, slamming into your ears and asking what was going on between you and the others because he had seen and…heard a few things go bump in the night
your face flushes hot, and you turn your head to the gray assassin, whose eyes glance up to your eyes from your broad chest
drawing your hand back, you wonder if you should tell him, but after a second of silence you suppose that your relationship with the others wasn’t really a secret
Tomas stands up and apologizes to you for crossing a boundary, and you wave him off and tell him to sit back down, that it wasn’t a rude question
you explain your relationship with them, that they liked you and they liked each other and you liked them, and so all of you were in a relationship with each other
he rubs his chin at the realization, and then after a silent moment, he asks how it started
this time you feel a bit speechless, face flushing as you remember how their lewd thoughts had even led to the relationship
you glance around you, spotting Kuai Liang not too far away, and then you debate on whether or not you should Tomas on how it all started
you figure it couldn’t hurt, he already heard you and the others in the middle of the night
holding out your palm, Tomas raises an eyebrow and places his hand in yours, and you hesitate for just one more moment before you send him thoughts of how it all started
the gray assassin jerks in your hold but doesn’t let go, and you watch his cheeks flush and turn red and after you finish with the story ending with you crowded in that bedroom
suddenly, it’s as if all the barriers in his head drop down, shaken and startled by the story, and then his thoughts slam into you, images of you flashing in his head
you’re not prepared for his guard to come down to easily, and you’re swept away in the thoughts of him fucking you, hips thrusting in and out of you as his breath tickles the shell of your ear as he tells you how good you are
he explores every part of you with his fingertips, sending your mind into a fritz and every nerve ablaze, and they squeeze at your chest and pinch at your nipples
his hands go down to your ass, squeezing at the firm flesh and then giving it a quick slap before roughly grabbing onto them again
his moans are deep and echo into your ear, his pelvis slapping and grinding into your clit with every thrust, and his cock stretches you out deliciously
his hands come up to cup your face, and he pulls you into a searing kiss, teeth biting into your bottom lip and mouth moving frantically against yours as he groans out your name
he changes the angle of his hips, and it makes you choke on a whimper as his cock abuses that sweet spot inside of you that makes you claw at his back
Tomas pulls his hand away and stands up, almost slightly woozy, and he says he needs a second and practically stumbles out of the training fields
your own face is hot, and you stare at the spot where Tomas had been sitting just a moment earlier, and you wonder what you’ve just started
you sit at the dinner table, conversing with the others, and Tomas sits at the other end of the table, glancing at you every so often and then turning away with an embarrassed look
Kuai Liang seems a bit concerned, but you try not to pay attention to it as Johnny makes some dumb joke and Kenshi elbows him in the ribs
when Liu Kang comes into the dining room and beckons you and Kuai Liang away, you hope he doesn’t pry too much about what happened to Tomas
both you and Kuai Liang sit across from each other, and Liu Kang tells you to find something in there, a precious memory of his, Kuai Liang holds his palms out
you take them and slowly pry into his memories, trying not to enable any of his mental defenses, and it’s like a maze, weaving through the various channels and turns to try and find what you’re looking for
but you find what you’re looking for, almost drawn to it by the warmth it emanates, and you slowly pry it open and watch his most precious memory in front of your eyes
you start to make your way out of the maze, weaving through the familiar channels and turns when suddenly the environment changes and you’re stuck in a black void
then his voice echoes in your head, and he asks what you told his brother earlier to make him so timid around you
his grip on your palms tighten, and he asks if you threatened Tomas
you backtrack and tell him that you did no such thing, that you don’t even half the skill to even try and threaten them
his thoughts seems to frown at you, piling his emotions onto your psyche, and he asks what you did tell him then to make him so flushed
for a second, you remain silent and wonder if you should tell the assassin, but his tight grip on your palm was starting to hurt and you know he isn’t just going to accept any answer
once again, you slowly explain what he had asked you and then push the memories of how you had gotten into a relationship with Kung Lao, Raiden, Johnny, and Kenshi into his head
the assassin barely flinches, but his grip does relax on you
however, his palms seem to burn with flame, embarrassed about what you were sharing with him, and then just like his brother, his defenses falter, weakening and let a flash of an image show
an image of you, his head in between your plush thighs, mouth wrapped around your clit, and burns covering your body in the shape of his fingerprints
his chin is covered in your slick and your cum, and his arms wrap around your thighs to drag you closer into his mouth, his hair ruffled with your hands digging into the thick hair
your mouth is open in a cry of desperation, overstimulated but still begging for more as you grind your hips into his hot mouth
then, his guard comes back up, only faltering for you to just see a second of that image, but it’s enough for him to drop your palms
you turn your head to Liu Kang and clear your throat, repeating Kuai Liang’s most precious memory, and the assassin nods and agrees
Liu Kang nods, saying that you were slower than last time, and you just purse your lips and said that you’re just tired today from the heat
the god seems to accept the answer and dismisses the both of you to your rooms, and you hurry away, face burning with heat
it felt like deja vu
the next few days, both assassins avoid you, glancing at you at meal times and then glancing away, and when you attend training sessions, they can’t keep their eyes off you
you try and avoid when they’re training, and so you sit in one of the rooms, lifting some weights to try and keep up your physique due to your training taking a turn to start focusing on more telepathic skills
you hear the door creak open, and you turn to find Bi Han, glaring at you, like he wanted to kill you
for a moment, you consider flinging the dumbbell at him to try and stall him, but you know it would only pause him for a half a second before he was on you
he stalks toward you, picking you up and slamming you against the wall, bracing his arm against your neck, his angry thoughts rolling off him in waves and assaulting every part of your fleshy mind
Bi Han growls out what you’ve done to his brothers, saying that they’ve been distracted, that now they can’t seem to win against your friends anymore
you purse your lips, and your hands clutch at his arm to try and find air
wheezing out that you haven’t told them anything, Bi Han snarls and calls you a liar, pressing his arm further into your neck
thoughts fly out of you, pleas for your life, that you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve said nothing to them, but none of it works and only further enrages Bi Han
your mind struggles to process under the onslaught of his anger and vitriol towards you as his skin presses into yours, and you do the only thing you can think of
you send thoughts of him and you, you on top of him, slamming your hips down onto his cock as his hands dig fingerprints into your skin
your shoulders hooked over his knees, and his cock bullying its way into you and making you gasp and bare your neck for him to suck hickeys and leave bite marks
his hands in your hair keeping you still as he fucks into your face, uncaring of how tears stream down your cheeks, your hands frozen behind you in ice so that you can only grind your needy clit into the air
the sight of your arched back as he presses his hand deeper into the small of it to make you whine and groan as he fucks into you from behind, ass red with his handprints, the wet squelch of your pussy in the air, your desperate moans and whines filling his ears
Bi Han lets go of you, and you fall to the ground, gasping for air, and you ignore how he opens the door so hard it slams against the wall and breaks as he storms away
when Liu Kang bids them farewell, all of you standing across from the three of them, the assassins refuse to meet your eyes and instead stare directly at the god
you trudge back to your room, exhausted from all the training and flop into your bed, a piece of paper flying into the air that you hadn’t realized was laying on your bed
sitting up, you pick up the folded note on the ground, and your jaw goes slack at the note
an invitation to the Lin Kuei, if you ever wanted to be with better lovers than the fools you currently have, signed by Bi Han

★┆How I think MK1 characters will react to themselves when they found out they actually have a feeling / crush on you <3
—————
Tumblr media
1. Raiden ⚡🌟 💙
- He's working at his usual vegetables farm, wiping off sweats off his forehead as Kung Lao yells to him across the farm that he's going to the toilet. Raiden nods, and continued his work. The sun starts to drops, creating a beautiful orange mixed with yellow scenery on the sky. That's when Y/N passed by. Their features.. looks ethereal when the sun shines through their face. Raiden caught Y/N's eyes, and froze in spot. Y/N waved at him, and he waved back. Y/N walked away, and he watched. The carrot he was holding fell onto the ground, and he'd stare at the direction Y/N went. He blushed, hard. Harder than he ever did. "Oh, no."
2. Kung Lao 💋🌷
- Kung Lao walks around the village, finally having a day off from his work. Raiden is already at Madam Bo's restaurant, and Kung Lao passed by a new bakery. Kung Lao peers inside, and saw Y/N behind the cashier, talking gently and respectfully to an older customer. His eyes widened, falling inlove immediately. Their looks, features and gentle voice. Oh My Gosh. He felt like running around and crushing himself. He didn't notice that he was lingering at the door, and Y/N caught his eyes. Y/N asked if he wants to buy or look for anything, and he shook his head immediately. "N- Nope-! Uh, just- Yknow, looking around. Might stop by soon! Bye!" Kung Lao stubbles, and quickly walked off.
3. Johnny Cage 🕶 💚 (idk b4 he got married? after his divorce??)
- (Monk assistant Y/N) Johnny walks around the Wu Shi's Academy, taking every picture of every beautiful scenery he can find. Kenshi adviced him not to use his phone much, but who cares ?? It was until he walked past a group of monks, who he simply greets. But then, he passed by a.. particular person. Y/N. As far as he knows, Y/N is one of the monks assistant. He stops in his tracks, and slowly turns around where Y/N talks to the monks gently. His eyes widened, and he felt warm on his (face) cheeks. His hands unconsciously takes a picture of Y/N silently. Beautiful / Handsome scenery...
4. Kenshi Takahashi ❤ 🖤 (After he got blinded by Mileena, but still able to see w/ Sento.)
- Kenshi stands with his arms crossed onto his chest near the bridge at the Koi fishes pond, silently enjoying the sound of gentle water and fishes. It was until, Sento shifts behind him, and his eyes vision brightens. He'd look around in confusion, and saw Y/N. That's when his chest puffs slightly, his body feeling warm suddenly. He'd shift in his position, and decides to walk away from Y/N. (Denial era Kenshi)

☆Outworld's Beauty☆
●Prompt: In which you trained the earthrealm champions to fight in the tournament and Lord Liu Kang decides to bring you along; however, you saw the beauty of Outworld the minute you stepped out of the portal.
●Warnings: Nothing too explicit, just reader being a flirt.
■MK1■
Tumblr media
For countless years, Earthrealm and Outworld participated in a tournament called Mortal Kombat which was founded by Outworld's late Emperor, Jerrod and Earthrealm's protector, Lord Liu Kang. For many tournament, Earthrealm came out victorious because of the champions that fought hard and well to protect their realms. Earthrealm's power was respected by Outworld though there were some who wished to conquer Earthrealm.
Alas, the tournament was slowly approaching. Lord Liu Kang had chosen his fighters and his taste was...interesting to say the least. Johnny Cage, an actor, Kenshi Takahashi, a young man fighting to restore his clan's honor, Kung Lao, a farm boy who dreams big and Raiden, another farm who's contented with his life. Lord Liu Kang saw much potential within them all, and took them to the Wu Shi Academy to prepare and that is where they met the most interesting individual, you.
As a young child growing up, you visited the Academy and watched as the monks trained every day. As you grew older, Lord Liu Kang vouched for you and the monks took you in and trained you, thought you everything you needed to know. Of course those monks were ancient as they had all passed away, passing their teachings and skills onto you who was now the martial arts master of the Wu Shi Academy and also the teacher to the earthrealmers.
Training the earthrealmers required not too much work, as three out of four of them took their lessons seriously. Cage was the one who pushed your buttons. Despite all of that, Lord Liu Kang deemed them ready and as the final test came to pass, Raiden became the choosen one. He vowed to fight for earthrealm tirelessly and to honor your teachings and honor you as his teacher.
The trip to Outworld was quick yet it felt very tiring. As you all stepped out of the portal, your eyes landed on a woman in blue. Her beauty made her stand out among the others there. She looked rather elegant to say the least.
"Are those-Empress Sindel's daughters? Yes." Lord Liu Kang knew the question you were about to ask as he had noticed your gaze lingering on the younger daughter.
"Princess Mileena," he greeted, bowing and so did the rest of you. Mileena and Liu Kang exchanged small talk, introducing the blue one to be Kitana, her sister. Raiden looked at you, noticing how mesmerised you were by Kitana.
The princesses took you all to the Palace where the Empress awaits. You sat in the carriage with Liu Kang, Raiden and Mileena while the other three sat with Kitana. "Do you recognise everyone here, Raiden?" You asked, noticing the way he peeked out of the carriage.
"Yes I do but those beings..."
"The six arm beings are called Naknadans." Mileena answered for him. That was strange... you didn't remember the monks telling you about them.
It took a little while to reach the Palace. The royal guards escorted you all inside, to where the Empress and Princesses sat. Lord Liu Kang bowed, introducing everyone.
"And this is y/n l/n. The teacher to my champions." With a proud smile, Liu kang pointed to you. Sindel let out a pleased hum before Kitana spoke.
"I hope you've trained your warriors well, Y/n."
The way your name rolled off her tongue sounded like music to your ears. "I did. I am quite confident in Raiden, the champion choosen to fight."
"You seem nervous young man," Sindel stated.
"I'm a stranger in an unfamiliar land, here to compete against it's greatest fighters. Yes, I am nervous."
"As you should be." Sindel was quite confident in her champions as well. You wished Raiden good luck before stepping to the side. And so, the first round began. Raiden won without a sweat and so he did for the rest of the rounds. When he seemed to catch a hang of it, Sindel dismissed the tournament until tomorrow morning, inviting you all to the evening's banquet.
The banquet was astonishing, food and beverages were served like it was the oxygen needed to survive. Kung Lao stuffed his face like a pig, receiving disgusted glares from General Shao and his right hand.
You let out a tiring sigh, hearing Cage flirting with Kitana, though you couldn't blame him, you would've and will flirt with her as well. "You're ten thousand years old?!" He asked in shock.
"My, you certainly aged quite gracefully princess," you hummed, tasting the wine.
"Hey that's supposed to be my line!" Cage protested. With a wave of your hand, you dismissed Cage, noticing the way Kitana turned her attention to you.
"Well aren't you quite the charmer?"
"I have my ways with pretty ladies though I must say, pretty is an understatement when it comes to your beauty."
"Oh really now?" Kitana's interest in you spiked. 'How can someone who look so innocent be so damn charming?' She thought.
"Your beauty is ethereal princess." You sighed, a sly smiling carving your lips. Kitana let out a small chuckle.
"Thank you y/n. It truly means alot."
Cage watched with his mouth agape as you and Kitana threw flirty comments back and forth. This was supposed to be his thing not you yet he couldn't bring himself to stop you, not when you looked so happy talking to Kitana.

love at first sight
pairing: kenshi x reader synopsis: requested by this ask! notes: - reader is general neutral - first, thank you for requesting, it means a lot!! i wasn't sure how far i could take this since i could've written a whole story (ʘ‿ʘ) - requests are still open !!

-> He wasn’t aware of it at first. Well, at first, Kenshi assumes that his interest in you is simply a passing infatuation. When he arrived at the Wu Shi Academy, you stood by Liu Kang, seemingly. He didn’t think much of your presence, presuming you were a part of the Lin Kuei who had assisted the fire god back at Cage’s mansion. But it wasn’t until your first exchange that Kenshi realized you weren’t all like Lin Kuei. Your words expressed kindness and fare. It was something he rarely experienced. Kenshi encountered more rivals than allies in his time to restore his family’s honor. Trust was rarely an option. Even before meeting Johnny Cage and Liu Kang, he was wary. But it was the foreign ease and pride that your remarks had incited in his soul. “You’re an honorable man, Kenshi Takahashi. Earthrealm is lucky to have you,”
-> Your admiration is a constant later on. Training with the Shaolin monks ensured refinement in swordsmanship and control. And while he believes his endeavor for his clan is the reason for his improvements - it’s you who sparks them. Did he forget how content he becomes after your praise? His friends acknowledge this as well. How could they not notice your favoritism? Johnny noticeably is the one who constantly mocks him about it. With every conversation, he’s found ways to mention your name on the table. “Is it me? Or are you two always flirting?” Kenshi would continuously disregard his friend’s laughter as friendly mockery. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t think he sees you like that. Or it's because he's not good at handling relationships. Kenshi ponders about this often. -> Though he will never disregard the support you’ve given him. The swordsman never realized how significant your presence is against him - till a rare moment ensued while practicing with wooden dummies. The vicinity of the sanctuary was asleep, yet the night was still humming with life. In the dead of night, Kenshi thrives on precluded mediation and coordination. He finds himself becoming too focused and too obsessed. Practicing overnight can be done with ease. However, it’s your voice that clears his mind. It’s rare for you to visit Wu Shi Academy at this hour. Though, Kenshi does not delve into it and makes light conversation. Talking to you is like a breath of fresh air - providing solitude and solace to his body. It’s when you recollect his early training days that he senses his heart flutter. If that’s how he would describe it, the release of euphoria almost. It’s addictive, all but treacherous. That’s when he knew Johnny was right all along. How was he going to tell you now? [ you ] : forget about your past, kenshi. you are worth more than you know. [ kenshi ] : and i will hold onto that. [ johnny ] : so how's paradise? [ kenshi ] : (groans) it's not like that johnny.

My Personal Stylist
just a bit self indulgent, had this idea randomly and thought why not!
tw: none, soft Johnny, gn but fem terms used, semi hints of PTSD
You've had a tough couple of days, wrestling with severe sleep deprivation. The more you tried to sleep, the harder it became to find any peace. Nightmares were relentless, haunting you with terrifying memories every time you close your eyes. You'd wake up drenched in sweat, tears staining your cheeks, and your heart racing.
You found yourself in the midst of the bustling training ground, monks going about their daily drills, while initiates prepared for the upcoming tournament. The sounds around you, the clattering of fists against wooden boards, the grunts and huffs of exertion, served as an oddly soothing backdrop. They kept you grounded in the present, a lifeline when your thoughts threatened to spiral into darkness.
Sitting there with your eyes closed, you felt the gentle caress of the breeze on your skin. Petals from the blossom tree above floated down, landing softly on your hair. But underneath this tranquility, a lurking unease remained. You half-expected those nightmarish images to come to life, as if the horrors from your dreams might seize you for an untimely, gruesome fate. You knew they were just figments of your imagination, your mind's way of dealing with the trauma that predated your time at Liu Kang's Wu Shi Academy.
Lost in your thoughts, you were caught off guard by approaching footsteps. "Hey, hot stuff," a voice rang out suddenly. Startled, you opened your eyes to find Johnny Cage standing there, his signature smirk in place. He leaned in, hand on his hip, with that playful tone he often used as an appetizer for his requests. "What's a beautiful girl like yourself doing here all alone?" he quipped.
You couldn't help but roll your eyes in response, well aware of Johnny's habit of charming you up before he got to the point. "What do you want this time, Johnny?" you asked, returning to your closed-eye state.
Johnny's demeanor took a slight turn, his voice softening. "Oh, nothing in particular," he said, plopping down beside you. "I'm just checking on how you're feeling." The concern beneath his flashy exterior was evident.
You remained silent, torn between sharing your hidden anxieties or keeping them to yourself. Johnny's keen eyes continued to assess you, and he let out a soft sigh. "What's bothering you?" he asked, the concern apparent in his voice.
You hesitated for a moment. Sharing your painful memories was something you hadn't done in a while, but Johnny's persistence was unwavering. "It's hard, Johnny," you admitted, opening your eyes.
Johnny's smirk vanished, replaced by genuine worry. "Did someone say something to you?" he asked, leaning in closer. "I'll give them the Cage treatment."
You interrupted him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "No, Johnny, it's something else," you said, your gaze fixed on the ground. Taking a deep breath, you began to share your life story in detail, and Johnny listened intently, his face reflecting the pain he felt for you. When you finished, he whispered, "Jesus."
You felt a sense of relief, having finally shared your burden, but the weight of your past experiences still clung to you. "I feel stuck," you confessed, averting your gaze to a nearby garden. You hid your face from Johnny, not wanting to show the tears threatening to spill. "Every night, I relive those memories over and over. I end up out here, training to distract myself until the sun rises."
Johnny looked at you, gently holding your chin in his hands and turning your gaze to meet his. "Hey, I'm here for you, sweetheart," he reassured you. "If you need me at any hour, come find me." He added, "Don't make me come in there and kick ass," gesturing towards your head.
A small giggle escaped you at his statement, a moment of lightness amid the heavy conversation. After a brief pause, you looked at Johnny, studying his face. "Has your makeup artist ever put freckles on you?" you blurted out, sudden curiosity taking hold.
Johnny raised an eyebrow, slightly amused by the unexpected question. "Hm?" he quirked his head, "No, but I'm sure I could pull them off," he said, dramatically sweeping a hand through his hair and flashing his dazzling smile before winking at you.
You laughed at his response. "Care to test that theory?" you asked. You knew you had some spare makeup in your room, and at that moment, anything was welcome to distract you from your lingering anxieties. Johnny looked a bit surprised but quickly regained his signature smirk. "What, you want to prove how hot they would look on me?" he teased.
With a smile, you replied, "Wait here," and then walked off to your room. Johnny watched you go, a small, endearing smile gracing his lips.
Returning with a small bag in hand, you rummaged through it, searching for a brown eyebrow pencil. As you plopped down beside Johnny, you announced, "This should do it," and twisted the bottom of the pencil to reveal its tip. "Hold still for me, would you?" you requested, gently grasping Johnny's chin to keep him in place.
"Not a problem, princess," Johnny replied with a wink. You rolled your eyes playfully as you got to work, creating light brown spots that resembled freckles in their respective areas. Johnny's face became a canvas for these small sun spots.
You were completely absorbed in your task, so you didn't notice Johnny's admiring gaze or the soft smile on his face. "You are cute when you do that," he suddenly remarked. You paused your movement, slightly caught off guard. "Do what?" you asked, feeling a bit self-conscious.
Johnny's voice remained soft and admiring as he responded, "You stick your tongue out when you're focusing." A small blush crept across your features, and you became acutely aware of your proximity to the superstar, a flutter of nervous excitement in your stomach.
Finishing the last freckle, you pulled back and squinted your eyes, admiring your handiwork. "Done," you declared, placing the pencil back in the bag and retrieving a small handheld mirror. "Here, what do you think?" you asked, handing the mirror to Johnny.
He took the mirror and began to inspect himself, striking poses as if he were in front of a group of eager paparazzi. "Hey there, good-lookin'," he quipped, winking at his reflection. A giggle escaped you at Johnny's playful antics. "You do look good with freckles," you said, smiling warmly at him. As he lowered the mirror, a look of surprise flashed across his face. You couldn't help but be taken aback by the slight blush that dusted his cheeks. He quickly regained his trademark smirk, clearly pleased by the compliment. "What did I say, kitty? I knew I would look good," he quipped, flashing a confident smile as he looked at you.
Shaking your head with a smile, you met his gaze. "I guess you were right," you admitted. It was hard not to be charmed by Johnny's confidence and charisma. His smile is contagious, you all but forgot about your horrific past, a smile glued to your face in his presence.
Night had descended, and once again, you found yourself tossing and turning in your bed. Your clothes clung to your sweaty skin as horrifying images flashed through your mind. With a gasp, you jolted upright, silent sobs wracking your body, and your cheeks were wet with tears. The fear was overwhelming, and you contemplated seeking out Johnny for comfort, tempted to accept his offer and let yourself be vulnerable.
With a determined huff, you pulled yourself out of bed, the chill of the night air a stark contrast to your perspiring figure, sending shivers down your spine. Silent tears coursed down your cheeks as you desperately made your way to Johnny's room. His loud snoring resonated from down the hall, urging you to quicken your pace.
You were paranoid, your eyes darting around as you briskly walked through the dark hallway toward Johnny's door. You wanted to knock, to respect his space, but your fear urged you to instead pull his door open. You swiftly but quietly shut it behind you and approached his bed. There he lay, peacefully asleep, snoring without a care in the world.
You sat down and watched for a moment, your tears falling more freely now at the thought of disturbing his slumber for your own fears. It felt selfish to wake him up for comfort. But you shook your worries away and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, giving it a light shake. "Johnny?" you whispered, hoping he wasn't a heavy sleeper.
He groaned and shifted slightly in his sleep but didn't wake up. In your second attempt, you shook him a little harder. "Johnny, please," you whispered again, your desperation growing as your fear loomed once more. His snoring ceased, and his eyes opened slowly, groggily. "Hmm?" he mumbled, looking at you with a puzzled and drowsy expression, squinting as his vision adjusted to the moonlight that illuminated your tear-stained face.
"Y/n?" he said sleepily, but as his vision cleared and he saw the glistening tracks of tears on your cheeks, he suddenly became fully awake. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, sitting up quickly and placing a reassuring hand on your shoulder.
You didn't utter a word; instead, you began to sob. Johnny wasted no time, pulling you to sit on the bed beside him and wrapping an arm around you. He gently caressed your hair, resting his head against yours as your tears flowed more freely. "S-sorry," you choked out between sobs.
Johnny swiftly grabbed your shoulders, forcing you to look at him. "Hey, don't you apologize for a damn thing," he said with a stern look. "What did I say? At any hour, I'm here for you." He then shifted in the bed, making room for you. "Come here, sweetheart," he said, his arms open.
Without hesitation, you crawled into the bed beside him and buried your face into his chest as he gently enveloped you in his embrace. He continued to caress your hair and whispered calming words, offering a safe space for you to let it all out. An hour passed, and you felt yourself relax in his embrace, gradually drifting into slumber.
Johnny smiled down at you, a warm feeling in his chest. This nightly routine became your solace, your nightmares tamed by his comforting presence.
