#finally a red flag rafayel

"Are you pinching my cheeks?"

Preview: How will the boys react to you pinching their cheeks.

ZAYNE

"You do not have to go so far, treating me to different kinds of dessert just to pinch my cheeks y/n." You stared wide-eyed at the man in front of you who is wearing a smirk on his thin lips. You were scrolling through social media and stumbled upon a recent trend where girls would pinch their boyfriend's cheek and the guys' reaction would determine if they are a red flag or green flag.

It is not that you are particularly worried about him being a red flag, he is far from one. Yet, it does not stop you from wondering about his reaction. Catching him off guard, you grabbed hold of his cheeks and piiiiinched! His skin was smooth to your touch, given that he is an advocate for basic skincare, focusing mostly on hydration. "My turn." Zayne's voice was calm, echoing slightly through the high ceilings of his house. He sat up straight from the couch and loomed over you, before pressing his lips straight onto yours.

RAFAYEL

"ARGH!" The grown man stumbled back, eyes wide and jaws slacked, a look of betrayal stamped onto his face. You pinched his cheeks when he was too busy focusing on his artwork that he had forgotten about the milk you had prepared for him an hour ago. "What was that for?" His hand rubbed against his supple cheek, scarlet red littered all over his ears now as he looked up towards you with a pout.

"You are the cutest when it comes to getting your cheeks pinched." Your voice teasing and he stood up, his height loomed over you easily. Rafayel has never liked to be touched nor to feel pain of any degree but getting it from you, maybe, just maybe, he could turn a blind eye to it. The next thing you know, the both of you are chasing one another playing 'pinch-your-cheeks' tag around his whole mansion. SO much for a man who barely loves to workout, but he sure does hold a vengeful heart.

XAVIER

"This one should directly correlate with---what was that?" Xavier stopped mid sentence, turning his head slightly to face you. Your hand still pinching his cherubic cheeks while he is looking at you. "Were you listening to me?" He tilted his head and you finally let down your hands, silently pouting to yourself on why he had noticed it so early. Sensing the way you reacted, Xavier huffed back a laugh and he held your hand and placed it against his soft cheek, a smile not faltering off of his angelic features.

"Alright, you can pinch my cheek as we are talking about this case okay? But do try to pay attention." His answer made you chuckled in response and you did as you were told, fingers clamping down softly on his cheek again as he resumed the discussion of the case files with you. The only time he had stopped you was when you kept pinching his cheeks on and off, fascinated with how much collagen he has on his face. "Now, that's enough of pinching." He said sternly, turning to face you fully this time and grabbing both of your cheeks and pinching them wide.

A/N: Feeling silly today. I love these men, they ruined my life!

Mansplaining!Zayne knows you could probably take care of yourself pretty well but he really wants to do it for you. He would do such a good job at it, much better than you, not to say that you're bad at things, he's just a bit better. Stick with him though and you'll be just as good, he can promise you that, don't bother with those other men who try to get your attention because they're not worth it, not worth you, so much as a glace. When you agree to be his girlfriend he will make sure you never need anyone else ever again.

Manwhore!Rafayel flaunts himself at everyone in hopes of making you jealous. And it's working, every time he tells you about a woman he slept with he can see the way you chew your bottom lip and clench your fists in anger. He knows you want to shut him up every time and if you really want him to do that then there is one way, you should just kiss him. Make him yours, let everyone know it, mark him up just like he's always dreamed of you doing, he's always been yours and now you finally realized it too.

Manhandleing!Xavier usually isn't rough with you but when you keep getting into trouble he doesn't have a choice. He keeps telling you to stay out of trouble and you always find your way to it, like you're drawn to it. To keep you out of trouble and harm he always tightens his hold on you, so much so that it hurts and drags you into the bedroom where he throw you on the bed and gets on top of you, kissing you until your lungs burn for air. Always making him worry, maybe he should consider a pair of handcuffs for you.

Manipulative!Sylus wears you down little by little every time he points out an issue with someone you think you could date and it's not him. Really you should see those red flags, but for some reason you don't until he doesn't point them out. It's clear that you need him by your side or else you could get into real trouble with someone who would want to harm you. The best thing for you would be to get into a relationship with him instead, let him do all the thinking and let him spoil you, his pretty future wife.

Took me like 3-4 days but I finally finished the main story!! I had to play through rafayel and xavier's branches too or it wouldve taken less time to unlock caleb

Here are some of my thoughts on Caleb so far

Homecoming Wings spoilers under the cut (TW: discussion of manipulative behavior)

I got mixed feelings over caleb tbh I see why people are uncomfortable with the story and definitely think the chapters required a warning for drugging and isolation and all the other stuff

I had to take a moment breathe when I finished the chapter where MC got locked up in the hospital and threw water at caleb bc that was SOMETHING

On the other hand I'm definitely impressed by how bold infold writers got with this!! And how good their display of manipulation is in their writing for him

I'm also curious as to how (or if) they're gonna give him a redemption arc but I'm also not sure if he needs one bc he feels like a fully fleshed out character (it's to be noted I haven't played any content of him aside from main story and text messages yet)

Like he's definitely (100%) a red flag but he's also not completely yandere (at least from my understanding of what a yandere is) because he was willing to leave MC's life if that's what she wanted instead of caging her to him regardless of her wishes

And he also knew he was being manipulative and apologized about it but still went on and did the things he did

I was triggered at first from the drugging, isolating and manipulating MC but their relationship (and characteristics) as a whole seem so complex and multi layered I still have no idea what I think of him yet

I'm shocked by how he's portrayed but also. I'm so fucking intrigued holy shit 😦

Their dynamic is so interesting to me because of how complicated it looks

And my feelings towards caleb as a character I would personally like or not are also mixed but I am (somewhat) into the whole dark romance thing going on

Like I definitely dislike (hate, even. I've never gotten so mad at a character as i did when I read the hospital scene and how tense things got, especially for MC) the shit he did but I also can't help but like him

Safe to say I have a headache from every thing going on with him but I like it

I still think infold shouldve given a warning for these chapters regardless of whether I like him or not

PS I love viper dude is truly enjoying the tea surrounding caleb and mc 😭
