All Yours | Ryu Shioh / Ryu Sio

warnings: maybe a bit suggestive? | also how the fuck do i spell his name in english?? 류시오 ryu sio but people spell it shioh??

Your heels colliding with the ceramic floor echoed with each step as you channelled your anger into the floor. Your patience was thinning with your lover, Sio, and you didn't know when you'd explode. His assistant tried to stop you from entering his office as you stared at him, feeling your fists curl up as you spoke, "Should I get rid of you instead?".

"The CEO specifically said that no one should come in, he has important issues at hand." His assistant informed you as you scoffed.

"Issues that are so important that he couldn't speak to me nor reply to any of my messages, but yet, I heard he's been talking to that staff of his... what's her name? Tseg Tseg?" You spit at him as you continued walking down the hall, your steps loud as his assistant finally reasoned.

"The warehouse was broken into a few weeks ago, and CEO Hwang Geum Joo found out about the company's secrets." That was enough to make you halt your steps, as you shut your eyes tightly, inhaling deeply before exhaling as you turned, walking back to the assistant as you spoke, "You better not be lying, or you'll be the next one I end."

You sat at the lobby, mindlessly staring into the air as you took out your phone, flipping it open as you pressed the contact, "Sio ♡".

"Are you busy?" You sent as you rested your arm on the arm of the chair and leaned on your palm.

"I'm at the company," You texted again as you waited for a response. Before the many problems occurred, he'd reply to you at speed of light, no matter if he was working out or at a dinner with clients.

"Should I come up?" You texted once again as your patience began thinning once again. What the hell was he doing up there? Was it such a big issue?

"I'm coming up." You finally texted as you closed your phone and walked to the elevator.

It wasn't like he was the one fixing the issue. He wasn't going to walk to the warehouse and operate the crane to move the products himself, so why was he so 'busy' ?

You walked down the hallway to his office as you slipped past his assistant, who was busy talking to the receptionist in another hallway, too busy to notice your appearance. You spedwalk down the hallway to the two large doors that separated you and him.

"I came to Korea to marry a korean man!" A woman's voice could be heard as she giggled. You walked to the small glass panel on the side of Sio's office as you peered in, seeing Sio and Tseg Tseg a few inches away from each other as he asked, "Is that so?". He had a big smile on his face, his teeth on show as he looked at the girl with adoration. Your blood boiled as you held on the wall, your grip tight as your eyes were closed tightly, the image repeating in your head until you flinched at the sudden sound of the door opening, revealing Tseg Tseg as she bowed, her big doe eyes watching you as she smiled dorkishly, "Are you here to see Sio?".

"Sio? I guess you're on first name basis with him," You asked, smiling widely, the complete opposite of what your brain was screaming. Tseg Tseg nodded as she checked her watch, eyes widening as she waved, "I have something to do now! Goodbye!".

You waved at her enthusiastically as your face dropped, your anger on show as you entered the office.

"You texted me so many times, what was it?" Sio asked as he looked out the window, his phone in his hand as you walked to stand next to him.

"What was it? You and that Tseg Tseg have been so close, and spending so much time together, you don't even reply, nor do you text me anything. I feel like we live in different worlds. Do you like Tseg Tseg?" You questioned as you felt your anger turn into confusion. Your turned as you aggressively shoved him, "I asked you something, respond. Do you like Tseg Tseg?!".

Your confusion was turned into sadness, as fast as vapour could condense into water. You turned to the window as you scoffed, rolling your eyes as you looked at him in disbelief, "So you do like her. Was I one of your pawns then? Some connection to get to someone else?". You wiped your eyes with your sleeves as you turned to leave the office, not wanting to see him anymore.

Everything happened so fast. You were trapped between the table and Sio as his arms were on your sides, holding the table as his face was inches before yours. His lips were practically grazing on yours as his eyes locked on yours, his face neutral but his anger evident.

"Tseg Tseg? Don't get me started. She's obviously not some normal girl from Mongolia, and it doesn't take an idiot to know that. I suspected her of something, and I need her close to me to confirm it. She's the pawn, and soon she'll show her worth." Sio stated lowly as he got closer, your arms practically touching as he whispered, "You look good when you're jealous. You have nothing to worry about, love. You're the only one for me,".

You felt the hairs on your arms rise with each word he muttered as he leaned in, connecting your lips as your heart finally settled down.

"Do that again, and I'll storm in again," you muttered as you placed your forehead on his. Sio smirked as he whispered, "Then what if I want you to storm in again?".

k 5:31am LETS GO

anyways i need to think about scenarios for sio

[caparrucia]

Hi, if you feel like it, in SiO or any verse, can you write about Anemone Amititia being her terrifying self? Thanks again for giving us such amazing stories!

Lady Amicitia is, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman in Insomnia.

Even while the late Queen was alive, and people had to twist around the obvious to avoid impropriety, it was well known that her smile could illuminate a room. Her laughter is bright and musical, much more often heard than her equally lovely voice, for she is often seen but rarely heard. Not that anyone complains, because seeing her is falling in love with her, at least a little. The idea of her, if nothing else.

She’s beautiful and glittering, like a diamond, and vacant, just like one. Transparent. There’s nothing to her, this is well known. She’s quiet because she’s been taught to be prudent, but also because she doesn’t have anything to say. Any and all attempts to pry an opinion out of her have failed spectacularly, as she defers in everything to her Lord husband, who stares sternly and refuses to acknowledge anything he deems beneath him. Most people are. So are their concerns.

So there’s Lady Amicitia, perfect paragon of empty smiles, impeccable fashion and unthreatening charisma.

It’s a game, of course, to be where the Lady holds court: the Queen is dead and when she wasn’t, she might as well be, it has been the duty of the Shield’s wife to tend to the court since she married into the post. She listens avidly and offers good will and compassion and endless softness to all who approach. It’s a game, how many layers of treason they can parade in her face and the vapid, stupid smiles never falter, never wane. Lady Amicitia exists to hang off her husband’s arm, to birth him children and replenish his house, but little else.

The senior Ladies know, of course, the only reason the court hasn’t gone to pieces under such incompetent leadership is their own hard work keeping their peers in line. They congratulate each other for a job well done, and in the fit of pettiness, perhaps, once in a while, throw a riddle at the dazzling flower of the court, just to see her fail to understand the insults woven in it.

It’s for the best, of course, to keep the structure of power clean and neat and simple.

Her predecessor, after all, had been overbearing and imposing and an unwelcome fulcrum in an already delicate situation, considering the previous King and all his… eccentricities.

It occurs to exactly none of them, that she’s been groomed for her title as much as her predecessor, the perpetual cycling of the old houses offering either future Queens or future Mothers of Shields, one of the most powerful sustaining forces in the Kingdom. She’s beautiful and she’s vapid and it is all so very comforting, that no one ever bothers to contemplate the alternative.

“Well, this is awkward,” Cor said, breaking through into the safe room where the head of the largest criminal organization in Insomnia was supposed to be.

“Is it?” Anemone replied, sitting on the edge of her desk, long legs crossed at the knee, rather than the ankle, just because she could. “I did warn you.”

Cor opened his mouth to retort she bloody well had not, and then remembered the night before, getting a girlish comment from the Shield’s wife about not chasing his own shadow.

It showed on his face, even as he swallowed back the profanity sitting at the tip of his tongue, because she laughed at him, loud and terrible, feet kicking in delight.

“Now what?” Cor asked, in the stoic tones of one used to being the butt of the joke, surly and sulking, and well aware she thought the whole thing was adorable, anyway.

“Well, now we choose whose pesky court dipshit’s incriminating evidence you’re going to find here, in lieu of a person.” Anemone smiled brightly. “Do you have a preference?”

“I don’t care about the court,” Cor said sincerely, lips pursed into an annoyed, flat line.

“As the person required to care in your steed, dear, I know,” Anemone replied, shaking her head.

“The one you like least, then,” Cor tried instead, as he watched her slide off the desk with grace, clearly entertained by the proceedings.

He’d never seen her fight, of course. It was not proper for Lady Amicitia to do such a thing. Much the same way it was inconceivable for the Queen to spar with him when she was bored. The way she moved, though, controlled and confident and very much downplaying both, it itched at him. He doubted anyone but Clarus would know, for sure. After all, everyone knew Lord Amicitia was deeply, profoundly besotted by his wife, but only the truly keen were aware it was very much mutual.

“You give me the nicest gifts, darling,” Anemone said, and brought him a thick file before she sauntered away without looking back.

As Cor went about scattering the planted evidence himself, making sure it looked convincing, he wondered if anyone at court remembered Lady Amicitia’s name.

Or what it meant.

[maybanksbabe]

oh pleaaaase, give us all of your thoughts!

Ok these are just my thoughts n feelings about the college au for all of the characters, brief little headcanons if you will!

Rafe:

as someone that's now sober from substance abuse and has been clean since he decided to go to college, he has a sweet tooth

when those 2AM cravings for a hit wake him up, he has a shoebox or drawer in his bedside table full of lollipops, hardboiled sweets, Jolly Ranchers anything with a sour enough sting to take the edge off

goes on morning runs before any of his classes, just to get him in the right kind of mood for the day and wake up properly

I'm sticking to the fact he's an art student what I wouldn't GIVE to watch him complete a study -

probably also volunteered to be the nude model for the unit on anatomy ;)

if you'd let him, he'd draw and paint all over you and take pictures on his camera to print off and stick in a little scrapbook ;)

definitely a caramel latte or chocolate frappe kind of guy, I can feel it in my bones and in winter he's a hot chocolate kind of guy

JJ:

has to cut back on smoking and drinking because of the swimming guidelines and the stipulations of his scholarship

so he develops a love of meditation and yoga to unwind - he's still going to parties but can't risk getting sprung with a sample test at practice or getting disqualified for the season so he only really has one or two nowadays or offers to be DD

early morning surfs before practice, adores being out on the water as much as in the pool and the sea feels a lot better on his skin and hair than the chlorine

gets asked all the time by various art and photography students to model or if they can use him for a project ;)

definitely has either a polaroid camera or one of those mini printers for phone pictures and has them tacked up ALL OVER his dorm

has a little jar of shells and pebbles from the OBX to remind him of home on his desk or windowsill, definitely also starts collecting for a new jar from his time at UCLA

John B:

Spends a lot of time in the water and around the tanks in the lab, and likes spending time around the animals in the experimental aquariums

is definitely one of the more unconventional students they have at SIO but he does the work and gets everything handed in on time

probably meets an equally shy gal from one of the other classes/courses and they geek out over the marine life together

I don't think he'd spend a lot of time in his dorm room because when he's by himself he has too much space to think and feel and get too into his head

definitely spends a lot of time on the pier or just out on the water in general, it reminds him a lot of home

of all of them, definitely the one to get the most homesick when he's away at college

Sarah:

cheerleading keeps her active and busy so she doesn't get caught up in her head

her roommate - or just a close friend she makes through her classes - definitely helps her realise that she's bisexual, or pan at the very least

averaging in her classes, it's intense and a lot of studying, exams, assignments, research and essays so she definitely makes use of the Miami nightlife

gets invited to most if not all of the parties that go on after school hours, always goes so she can let her hair down and relax

because she spent so long trying to appease Ward and fit his ideal of a perfect daughter, having the freedom of being unsupervised at college means she can finally figure out who she is and what she wants

definitely allows herself a few spontaneous hook ups with both girls and guys before deciding to try and make a move on her aforementioned Bi awakening

Kie:

finds a coffee shop that's on her way to campus and quickly becomes a regular, to the point where they know her order by the time thanksgiving break rolls around

slowly amasses more piercings and tattoos in her time at college

definitely a night owl, she likes to sit on her windowsill or on the roof, smoking and writing music

already knows she's queer but it's not until she starts attending workshops with the same girl that she realises that she has the opportunity to actually explore that avenue

has about 3 notebooks of lyrics, poems, etc by the time Christmas comes around

branches out from just Ukelele to guitar and piano, is surprisingly good at both and picks them up easily

10000% sings about OBX, home, the Pogues etc, just like she promised in S1

she gets picked up by a local student-run radio station and they play her songs frequently, she becomes a favourite amongst listeners

definitely ends up acquiring a stray cat and names it Marley, after Bob ;)

If You Love Her, Part 1 (Wilyssa) - Melyssa

[Now Playing: Just a Friend to You by Meghan Trainor]

[...I loved you from the start

So it breaks my heart

When you say I'm just a friend to you…]

It would be easier to presume that she was talking about Alyssa's boyfriend. It would be easier for Alyssa if she said she was talking about her boyfriend. 

But no,

She couldn't even blame the alcohol for the truth because her mind had already accepted that…

…since two years ago. 

July Prompt Juice No. 5: Angst

The Pride party was on full swing, the after hours not slowing them down, but being the reason to hype things up as the alcohol comes out and strippers who weren't there at broad daylight began dancing. 

It was fun.

Maybe.

Maybe if Alyssa wasn't poking her head looking for someone. 

"Mama look at him!" Shangela gushes loudly beside her. "He's on fire! You should hit him up."

"Ah now Shangela." Alyssa detatches herself from her daughter's vice grip. "You done know I can't do that."

Beside her, Raja and Manila only snorts and Bianca had the same look of 'done' as Shangela's.

"Riigghhtt" the other queen takes a long sio from her cup, looking around the party the way Alyssa has been for the past hour. "Do you think he would mind?"

Alyssa raises a brow. "Mind, of course he would mind he's my-"

"No mama, would HE mind" 

Oh.

OH

It would be easier to presume that she was talking about Alyssa's boyfriend. It would be easier for Alyssa if she said she was talking about her boyfriend. 

But no,

She couldn't even blame the alcohol for the truth because her mind had already accepted that…

…since two years ago. 

He…more like she, had disappeared an hour ago, with the wig on her head and the heels on her feet to 'enjoy the party'. Which honestly, was nothing new. 

It was nothing new and this person disappears every night to enjoy a party, whatever party, whenever the party. 

And honestly, Alyssa was staring to feel pretty pathetic for the way she still looks for her every night just for those rare nights when that person would fail to find someone and just decides to spend it through a dinner with her in McDonald's or something.

So pathetic, and yet…

Alyssa can't help the feeling of relief that washes through her as familiar arms threw themselves over her neck.

Of course, just like a certain percentage of the human population would do…she pushes her away. 

Shoves her 

"HEY!" Yells her assailant in indignation. "Princess why'd you do that?!" 

"Now Miss William you know I love you, but you know damn well than to get your alcohol-breathed mouth near my dress" Alyssa points a finger at the smirking blonde. 

William's smirk, actually grows larger at her words and she throws herself back into Alyssa's space with a dramatic "Oh you love me?~"

"Bitch sit yo ass down-"

"Hear that everybody? Ms. Edwards loves me-"

"Shut the hell up bitch!"

Alyssa rolls her eyes as her scolding is only met with William's laughter, but anyone looking could see the smile that spread through her features was one full of fondness…

"Now what you want from me baby?" Alyssa gives up and lets William hug her from behind. 

"I just wanted to see you" William snuggles with a triumphant sigh, her warm breathe tickling Alyssa and sending a fluttering through her stomach. 

"Yeah?" Alyssa responds as she ignores the way her cheeks began to heat up despite them hurting from the way her smile widens. 

A smile full of adoration… 

"Maybe" 

"Maybe?" Alyssa scoffs, yet she already knew the real answer. Without turning her head, she asked the question maybe everyone but her already knew the answer to that night. 

"Who is it?"

William pauses a minute as if to reconsider…something then whispers the answer as if she was admitting something treacherous. 

"It's Courtney" 

And it was a smile she knew she had just for William and only William. 

But William was behind her, so she couldn't see it fall.

Every single night. 

"Oh" was all Alyssa could say. Maybe that was all she had to say because when she turns around, William already had a look of guilt on her face. 

"Yeah" the other blonde rubs a hand over her neck under the Texan's scrutinizing stare.

Courtney…adored William. 

William to Courtney was the way Joslyn was to her…an idol. And while every previous queen was an idol to them before you finish Drag Race, everyone could tell Courtney liked William. 

And William didn't.

Alyssa sends her a prayer.

"That's a bad idea." She blurts out anyway. 

William's sheepish smile morphs into a frown at the words. 

"I know" she sighs " But, but no one was there."

'I'm here.'

"There's a lot of people here" Alyssa clicks her tongue. "You know better than to be messin with that poor girl's heart."

William giggles "I'll make it clear it's a one time thing, don't worry princess." 

Alyssa scoffs "Right."

William only giggles again as she reaches for her cup on the table…and drops it. 

It was empty, but Alyssa watches suspiciously as William stumbles to pick it up.

"Darling…" Alyssa squints her eyes "Are you drunk?"

"Just had about ten cups…or two" William hiccups. Now, Alyssa could see the way her body seems a little more uncoordinated despite being upright, her speech was a slurring a bit too. All the normal signs of a drunk person…which William usually wasn't two hours into a party. 

"Already?!?!" Alyssa gasps. She places her drink down and reaches for the blonde. "Now ya better sit down-"

"No Courtney is waiting" William pulls her arm back. "Promised to be gone for only- only a min." 

"You shouldn't be sleeping with someone when you're drunk." Alyssa hisses. "Especially not with Courtney." 

William finally snaps, snatching her arm back and almost bumping into the person behind her.

"I love you too Princess." She sighs "But I'd prefer if you kept your pretty nose out of my business."

Alyssa was thrown into silence and could only watch helplessly as William leaves and disappears back into the crowd. 

"That cunt" 

Alyssa blinks when she hears someone swear. She turns and finds that the person William bumped into was Bianca, who was glaring at the direction the blonde went, a full red cup on one hand and a phone on the other- Alyssa's phone. 

"Ungrateful bitch." She scoffs again "I don't know why you even like her." 

Alyssa doesn't respond, only shifts her gaze from the cursing queen to her phone. 

Bianca notices and immediately holds out both items. "Someone texted."

"And?" Alyssa regained her composure back to ask. "Is it urgent?"

Something dark passes through Bianca's eyes underneath the bar lights and her manicured hands clenches around the device for just a second before she shoves it back further. 

"Adore didn't look purposely" Bianca sighs as she stares apologetically at her friend. "But she said to give you her drink." 

Confused Alyssa takes the drink with a skeptical 'thanks m' and raises her cup to take a sip as she opens her phone. 

A pink heart. 

A pink heart next to her boyfriend's name

Her boyfriend's name next to a 5 missed calls notification

The 5 missed calls notification over one text

'Let's break up, sorry'

…Alyssa takes a sip.

"Alyssa?" Bianca questions, her concern now visibly bubbling into her tone as she watches the Texan queen haphazardly toss her phone to the love seat and chug the rest of her drink as if it was water and she hasn't drunk for days. 

Alyssa finishes with an appreciative 'ah!', eyes shining dangerously bright as she excitedly takes hold of Bianca's arm. 

"Let's get more drinks" she laughs giddily "I really like that one."

Bianca wanted to say something, anything preferably before the younger queen drowned in alcohol and…whatever the fuck this emotion was, but she could say nothing as Alyssa drags her off. 

From across the room, a pair of brown eyes watch behind a red cup.

Edited by Goddess Almighty, Queen Of My Heart, @joheunsaram, this is all for you, muffin 😘🥰

Here’s my masterlist

Enjoy 💜✨

Aftercare: For Seokjin, aftercare is mostly a way for him to calm down and for Angel to take care of him emotionally. Angel is usually okay after a scene as long as Seokjin isn’t feeling guilty or dirty or distant. So it’s mostly her performing aftercare on him, while he prefers staying on the receiving end, getting his body scrubbed and his hair washed, or being fed while being held. He really likes being hugged while talking. He’s also into cockwarming after sex, since he feels like he’s being protected and that he’s reconnecting with his vanilla side.

Body part: TITS. Jin loves the entirety of Angel, but he has a thing for her chest. And her face. She’s so beautiful, and so clean-faced. He loves being the only one who sees her pretty face crumble in pleasure when she cums for him. Now, Angel loves Seokjin’s hands and lips. He loves watching his lips kiss and suck at any part of her body.

Cum: Seokjin loves to cum inside Angel’s mouth. When he’s feeling especially naughty, he wants to cum on her face, then get inside her and see her ecstatic expression covered in his semen as he coaxes an orgasm out of her. Angel likes cumming on his cock, mostly because of how whiny he gets when she squeezes him with her cunt; plus, once she discovers she can cum without him touching her clit, just ramming inside her, she decides that’s her new favourite way to orgasm.

Dirty secret: Seokjin wants to tie Angel up to a Saint Andrew’s Cross and use a riding crop to spank her clit and nipples. Of course he has plans to make that happen, he just needs to figure out a couple more details. Like whether he should buy a cross and then turn it into… a coffee-table? Angel wants Seokjin to use her body as a food tray, ignoring her entirely while he eats, only to turn her around and fuck her against the table once he’s done. She wants to be treated like a slave just once. Just to try.

Experience: Jin has had a couple of partners before Angel, but he never went that far. He’s always been a freak, but way too restrained to try things out. Only with Angel he realised he could get what he wanted without feeling like he was disrespecting his partner. Angel has had maybe two partners. Maybe just one — the guy who cheated on her with a girl they had a threesome with. He was a freak through and through, and it only felt natural for Angel to join him, but she’s always been a bit of a freak — and she has always known that.

Favourite position: MIS-SIO-NA-RY. For both of them. A soft go-to for romantic sex and a hard and fast jackhammering. Though there is some debate on cowgirl — especially once Seokjin starts shoving Angel on his cock.

Goofy: these two can be major goofs when having sex. It’s pretty common for them to start laughing when something is extremely out of character, but they have a special look they exchange to make sure that laughing is okay at that moment. Such an agreement came after the mood was ruined by inappropriate cackling, so they found a way to look for the other’s permission. Once one of them starts laughing, the other one follows suit. After releasing tension by chuckling, the sex turns very playful, the best expression of Angel and Seokjin’s genuine friendship and companionship.

Hair: Seokjin keeps things neat, but he doesn’t put too much effort on that. He prefers staying as natural as possible, with some trimming when the situation gets out of hand. Angel trims her hair short, she has a specific electric razor to make sure it doesn’t get long but also so she can shave comfortably and safely.

Intimacy: Seokjin aims at intimacy mostly during aftercare, when he needs to feel Angel extra close and loving. Also, on romantic nights. Sometimes he just needs to go vanilla-galore all over her, and spoil her and just… treat her like a goddess. During soft lovemaking, these two just say ‘I love you’ a lot. Most of their intimacy is unspoken and really physical rather than verbal.

Jack off: Well, there are cases where it’s strictly necessary. Though Angel does it a bit more than Jin, he still is a pro at it. He actually prefers when she’s around to do it for him, or can “assist”. He just wants to cum on her tits or her mouth. Or her face. Angel just uses toys when Seokjin is away. Or sometimes when he’s around but is feeling lazy and is not in the mood and she needs to get laid: she simply picks up her small, efficient vibrator and gets stuff done. Though sometimes Seokjin changes his mind…

Kink: Ooh… Seokjin is learning how to actually dominate. However, he already knows a couple things, like punishments, discipline, degradation and impact play. He sorts of assumes he’s into restraints too, but he’s still trying to figure that out. Angel truly enjoys power dynamics, and she absolutely adores subbing for Seokjin, especially since her ex never had the kind of authority that Jin can muster and impose on her so easily. She likes being pinned and degraded by Seokjin. She finds it extremely exciting when he grabs her and uses her a little, when he doesn’t give her a chance to fight back. She likes feeling overwhelmed by him, like she’s finally unraveling him from that polished outside that he curates so expertly. She loves being the only one that gets to feel the beastly part of him on her own body. Truth is, she’s even more proud of being the one who lets him liberate himself and finally embrace his true passion and pleasure.

Location: Their home because Seokjin is shy. But as long as there’s a flat surface and a lock on the door, he’s game. Actually — the flat surface is not truly necessary. Just wait and see. Anyway, Seokjin is super glad that Angel is almost always ready when he wants to get dirty. Most of the time he’s the one dictating when and where, and Angel is entirely okay with that. Saturday night in their apartment is code for “do not disturb, we’re smashing. Maybe across the kitchen floor so absolutely do not enter”. If they’re out in public, there’s a very low chance of Angel teasing him. If she does, she’s very subtle, and in a rather private public place. Think of a hand on his thigh while he’s driving with her somewhere. Blowing him in the bathroom of a rooftop restaurant.

Motivation: The easiest way for Seokjin to get horny is seeing Angel showing off her boobs. If she's going around the house in a t-shirt and a pair of shorts (no bra), consider her busy for the next two hours minimum. She's most definitely trying to get fucked. Sometimes she might even forgo the shirt too. Seokjin can't stand her being stressed, because of her being moody and hard to deal with, he'd much rather get some dopamine and oxytocin running through her by fucking her against the kitchen table. Especially if she's being exceedingly argumentative. However, if she's truly stressed and tired, then expect him to take the lead and try to relax her as… as deep as he can. Angel's greatest weakness is watching Jin doing the housekeeping. Cooking is excellent for sex on the counter. The laundry is freaking amazing for sex on the washing machine — even better if the machine is running. But the absolute best is when he's using the mop for the floors and she can drop her clothes and scold him for not cleaning properly. It always drives him mad and subsequently leads to Angel getting fucked exactly the way she wants.

No: Third parties in the room. Angel absolutely doesn't want to share. It's mostly due to her past experiences rather than Seokjin himself. That's her only strong no. Seokjin supports her fully and he has no interest in adding anyone to their mix. Angel is more than enough to deal with. Jin has a couple hard No’s, mostly linked with Angel teasing him in public, but also her flirting with other people. She’s rather cheeky and he gets a bit mad when she gets too comfortable with his friends. On more sexual terms, he’s still exploring; however, he already knows he’s not okay with anything considered strictly hardcore.

Oral: sloppy, hungry, fast. That's the way Seokjin wants it done. Yes he's fucking hung, but he doesn't care how much Angel takes in her mouth (throat, actually), he rewards the enthusiasm. He appreciates plenty of sucking, and encourages Angel in pumping his balls in her mouth. Angel goes insane with oral sex. I mean, have you seen his mouth? Meow, purrfect. He can make a kitty purr for sure. Angel's most definitely.

Pace: The fastest, the furiousest. This man is a fucking train. He won't stop. Till he's broken Angel through and through. Though some slow rolling of hips is used to tease and arouse and torture, and eventually to please on calmer, sweeter nights. Nevertheless, they both prefer to go as hard as possible. If they don't break they're not done yet.

Quickie: strictly limited to emergencies, but they love them. They can't have casual quickies because they usually turn on multiple rounds and torture, so they must be on a schedule, like ten minutes left before one or both of them has an appointment or has to leave. Usually that happens with Angel bent over or pinned to the wall while Seokjin goes wild all over her.

Risk: Depends. Usually no. If Angel's been naughty enough, well, Seokjin can consider. It's mostly about restaurant bathrooms, car back seats, and some very mild inappropriate touching on lifts, think of Angel standing before him, discreetly rubbing her ass against his crotch. Oh, and one backstage storage room. Once. Never gonna happen ever again.

Stamina: if I had to rate it, I'd say 8/10 solid. The point is burning out, not burning steady. The goal is running out of energy, so they don't hold back, they do their thing for however long that takes. But Seokjin can most definitely handle multiple rounds. His record is probably four, but he doesn't like going there often. Foreplay and one or two rounds is more than enough for him

Toy: a big yes for Angel. For Seokjin too once he gets used to the idea of them. Angel likes vibrators, the more unusual the better. It needs to do something that a dick can’t do, so no dildos. A big yes for breast-toys (her boobies are hella sensitive). She’s also a fan of restraints (mostly hand ones but not exclusively) and impact toys. A big toy freak. Seokjin embraces her love for cockrings (especially vibrating ones).

Unfair: Seokjin? Yes. Very. Angel won’t get to cum unless he has tortured her for at least twenty minutes. Sometimes he sets a timer and edges her until it rings. Sometimes he keeps her tied up while he cums over her body — her chest especially. He likes reminding her consistently that he is superior to her as long as the scene is going. But once it’s over, he is quick to remind her she’s his partner, his equal, and anything that happened during the scene was just an act.

Volume: Angel is super quiet. She can exercise incredible volume control — and she is particularly encouraged to do so by the fact that Seokjin can be extremely shy about his moans and grunts, keeping them on the low. Especially when going vanilla, she really needs to pay attention to spot his little whines. At some point in their relationship, she admits she wouldn’t mind him controlling himself a bit less, vocally speaking, and from there on Seokjin gets gradually less shy, finally being the loud, messy man he is in his everyday life.

Wild card: Seokjin practices impact play on pillows when Angel is not at home. Mostly to make sure his game gets really safe and good before he uses any new toy on her. Once he learns how to use a riding crop, Angel can’t stop asking for it for weeks.

X-Ray: Girth? Considerable. Length? Excessive. The combo makes it impossible to take him without a stretch. He’s a grower. Angel’s power is all in her boobs. Her ass is on the flat side, but Seokjin wouldn’t have it any other way.

Yearning: Seokjin is the usual two-rounds-on-Saturday-night kind of dude when he first gets intimate with Angel, but mostly because he thinks that’s the way it’s supposed to be. He wants it a lot more. Once they start exploring, he feels free to ask for foreplay or sex pretty much whenever he wants to. Angel is up for daily masturbation/oral sex. They either end up going kinky on Saturday night, or doing the nasty mid-week and go for some fond, soft vanilla once Saturday night rolls in. Still, they’re not the kind to go two or three nights in a row: too exhausting.

Zzz: Angel gets sleepy during aftercare, but she tries to stay up as long as possible if Seokjin doesn’t feel okay. Sometimes he notices she’s sleepy and reassures her she can fall asleep, since the greatest comfort for him is knowing that no matter how cruel he was to her during playtime, she loves him and feels safe to sleep in his arms. Oh, and he’s clingy. He spoons.

Boyfriend Headcanons

Includes: Sakusa, Komori, Shirabu, Atsumu

Warnings: none - just pure fluff :) oh wait some swearing!!

✗ you have to be clean!! There’s no two ways about this. Of course you dont have to be super clean freak germaphobe!! (Extra points if you are because cleaning is his passion and he hates germs and he would love to share that with you)

✗ it takes a while for him to become affectionate, he has to ‘get used to your germs’ and all. When you are at home he will love to cuddle with you!! He particularly loves it when you are clean sitting in his lap while watching a movie! Because!! Then he can wrap his arms around you and rest his head on yours!

✗ one of his favourite dates is going shopping together... to the chemist. He likes having you with him as he looks through all the hygiene and sanitary items, often asks you ‘does this smell good’ because baby wants to be clean AND smell good. He will smell like a fresh bouquet if you so wish. Afterwards he’ll take you out to eat and pay for your food as a thank you.

✗ he’s in no way, shape or form fond of PDA. It makes him uncomfortable and he prefers to keep his private life, private. And you completely respect that!! The most he will go is the occasional hand holding or giving you his vbc jacket.

✗ he will make it clear he’s in a relationship though! He doesnt want his fan girls to continue coming on to him so he will tell them bluntly, it probably went something like this: ‘I am in a relationship with Yn. If you have a problem I dont care. Please stop trying to get in with me from here on out and dont touch Yn otherwise I’ll drown you in bleach.’ Wow isnt he just a charmer.

✗ he doesnt mind if you wear a face mask or not, but be prepared: he will refuse to kiss you until you’ve thoroughly washed your face. He does think your face is cute/pretty/handsome/etc so I think he’d prefer to see it.

✗ i don’t think hes one to be jealous or possessive but doesn’t like it if other people ‘contaminate you with germs’ so he’ll most likely stick around you to defend you from ‘germs’ so i guess he’s pretty protective. But not toxic protective!! He likes it when you come to his games and cheer for him!

✗ Komori is the softest ever! He loves you and he loves affection!!!! Bb is kinda clingy but its okay because he’s adorable and you love his hugs! He loves snuggling with you - face to face, while the both of you talk about anything and everything!

✗ he definitely loves it when you come to his games and he always gives you his jacket to wear! After every game when he sees you waiting for him in the foyer he runs up and hugs you.

✗ he lives to see you smile! Komori really loves when you smile! Please smile for him! But don’t fake it! Fake smiles make him sad! If he ever sees you fake a smile (and he can always tell bcz of how much he loves your smile) he will always make time to speak with you or FaceTime you to ask you how you’re going and if you’re okay. He doesn’t like his bb being sad :’)

✗ Komori really likes cute cliche dates! Sometimes you tease him about it but you can’t deny that he always makes them special - even if they’ve been done a million times before. Picnic dates and star gazing dates are a must!

✗ when it comes to PDA, he’s not necessarily against or for it, hes just kinda like eh whatever works in the moment. However!! Holding hands everywhere is a must.

✗ I don’t see him as the type to get jealous and/or possessive. He gives vibes that are full of positivity, so I feel like in a relationship with him he’s very trusting and understanding. However, if someone is flirting with you and making you uncomfortable he will intervene. Unless!! You have it under control, if so then he’ll just come up and stand next to you with a passive aggressive smile directed at the dude. If you don’t have it under control, he will come up and put a hand on your shoulder to reassure you and then he will talk to the guy. He starts off by asking a random question like ‘how’s the weather’ or whatever, and this usually confuses the guy because ‘???? Who’s this dude and why’s he talking to me so friendly’ anywho, he chats the dude’s ears off and the dude ends up leaving.

✗ he cant cook but can make he finest 2min noodles. Eat his noodles. He’ll be happy.

✗ aight here we are, piss hair - my second favourite Miya <3 jk

✗ being real, if youre gonna date atsumu you have to have to be able to take a joke. Please dont be offended. It’s just that he likes to joke around with you and 10/10 will point to something ugly and say ‘that’s you babe.’ He doesn’t do it to be mean!!! No!! He just sucks shit at expressing himself and therefore he teases you to show his affection verbally. He often says ‘I love ya’ to remind you because he knows words can hurt. He does his best to not be too mean :,) and if you ever look slightly sad because of something he said he will flick the switch and turn into a really loving bf. Hah simp.

✗ he wont admit it but he loves affection. Pda is a yes for him. Loves it when you sit in his lap or hold is hand or jump onto his back. He thinks you’re the cutest. You wear his jacket. Before and after games he gives you a sweet kiss on the lips, nothing steamy though thats for back home. He hugs you as a stress release. I know that sounds weird but he finds you to be so comforting and when he engulfs you in a hug and he can smell your shampoo/perfume he just feels really safe and loved and all round lucky to have you.

✗ Oh I know a lot of people have this hc about him only allowing you to cheer for him during his serves but I dont vibe with that. He likes it silent to concentrate so even if you were special (which you are) he doesnt want that game concentration interrupted, which you of course respect and understand. However as soon as his serves are up and its actual game time please cheer as loud as you want because he loves it when you cheer him and his boys team on!!

✗ mans is jealous, he doesnt like it when others get too comfy comfy with you. Like he knows you have other friends and he gets that but he does not! And I repeat - does not! Like it if they (esp opposite gender) get super touchy with you because in his head: ‘why get touchy with her/him/them when I’m literally right here???’ Oh yeah and he hates it when some weirdo is tryna chat you up, so to combat that he would definitely make his presence known. In scenario 1: ‘hey buddy can I have my girl/boy/sIo for a sec? Yeah thanks mate.’ Then he proceeds to kiss you harshly on the lips. Scenario 2: he walks up to the guy/girl/person and puts a hand on the both of yours shoulder. ‘She’s/he’s/they’re taken buddy, scram it.’ And the weirdo gets intimidated by that passive aggressive smile and the strong hand on his shoulder so they usually run away with a scowl right after they’re told.

✗ hes only soft for you behind closed doors sorry bb. Mans is a big simp. Even if he wont show it. I headcanon that he has a horse and knows how to ride it so sometimes he rides it to your house and calls you to come outside. You go outside and there he is, sitting on this large beast with a picnic basket, ‘hey babes wanna have a picnic?’ Ngl you’re surprised every time but go anyways. Omg imagine one day when youre at the picnic he’s all like ‘hey babes wanna see a trick?’ And youre like, ‘yeah sure’ so he gets on the horse and does idk something but then gets bucked off. Omg that shit would be hysterical. Brb gonna write a short scenario on this.

✗ wow ok I love him so much

✗ ok ok so we know Shirabu is smart (example in the timeskip) so he often stays up really really late to work on assignments and to study which means he can get very tired and burnt out esp when he has to do volleyball on top of all that. This is where you come in, you often visit his dorms (Shiratorizawa has dorms so thats the base for shirabu) and when you visit his dorms you bring lots of food - healthy foods to get his brain working but also snack foods to help him relax and release some of that good ol’ serotonin.

✗ when he studies but also feels like cuddling you find yourself facing him while sitting in his lap. You gotta move though cause he’s still working so you end up just cuddling into him like a koala. When he doesnt have to write/is busy reading he will wrap his arms around you and place a kiss to your forehead. He loves you omg, thinks you’re the cutest thing ever. IN FACT his home screen is a picture of you asleep, cuddling him in his lap. The only reason you’re not his lock screen is bc he has a rep to keep up in the club and cant have brats like goshiki knowing he can be soft or tendou teasing him for being ‘simp.’

✗ like atsumu, you gotta be able to take a joke because mans is a salt stick and loves teasing/roasting you. Ofc you do it back. Sometimes you team up and tease Kawanishi together. Please save Kawanishi, he does not want to deal with either of you, bb is tired from volleyball.

✗ shirabu knows he may not be the ideal boyfriend - he’s hopelessly devoted to the volleyball club and studies the life out of himself, so he often finds himself apologising to you and feeling incredibly guilty that he may have to cancel your date every so often. You make sure to remind him that its okay, that you knew what you were getting into when you started dating him and that you admire that he’s so determined and such a hardworker and that you love him. Every time you tell him he almost cries, he loves you.

✗ to make up for lost dates he will invite you to his dorm, or he’ll go to yours and the both of you will spend the day cuddling and snacking on food while watching movies. For him this is like killing two birds with one stone because 1) he gets to relax and have some downtime and 2) he gets to spend that time with you and just being in your presence relaxes him so much. Hhhhh hes so precious omg i love him. Oh and he’ll make sure to tell you that he loves you - it took a while for him to say it because he wanted it to mean something.

✗ when it comes to pda he’s not the most comfortable about it, yknow he just prefers to keep that to himself. But!! Will 100% hold your hand if you ask. Sometimes you don’t even have to ask! He just really likes holding your hand.

✗ now is he jealous or possessive? Yes he is jealous, i cant describe why. He just gives those vibes. I think it’s because he has a lot of self doubt and insecurities about being a good boyfriend that he feels like someone could just sweep you away. He’s self aware so he knows it’s his insecurities talking so he does his best to not believe and act on them but sometimes when someone is deliberately flirting and knows you have a bf he will be big mad. Full on walks up to the guy with an intimidating aura and roasts him. Ngl you find it funny because he’s spitting out insults faster than you could say supercalifragi- something i forgot how to spell it lol.

Secrets

Length: 1438 Words TW: None! Just Jawska being emotional. Brief: Jawska thinks about the holiday. Credits: Sionah belongs to @/cherrytrolls ! 

Google Docs link for easier Viewing!

Jawska woke up and instantly regretted it. It was Quadrant's day.

He started the day with a short internal debate over what shirt to wear. He had the shirt Sionah made for him but he wasn't certain what kind of message that would give if he wore it on Quadrant's day. Ultimately it was the cleanest shirt he had. Surely there'd be no real harm in doing so. He had no plan of going into the shop right away. He wouldn’t run into Sio.

The rest of his morning routine was the same as any other day. Being single didn't change any of it. He contemplated making himself something special for breakfast, but settled for taking an apple with him. He opened the blinds so his plants could get light while he was out, and cracked open the window to the balcony just a smidge. Enough for the elderly cat that frequented his balcony to squeeze through and stay warm. That small act of kindness made Jawska feel better already. Still, a bitterness lingered. 

The streets were busy as trolls milled about. Jawska passed couple after couple. They held hands, pinkies, and wore matching clothes. Garments with each other's castes and symbols. Every couple Jawska passed only made the bitterness in his chest grow. The worst part was how guilty he felt. 

Trolls passed him with love in their hearts and hands to hold. Someone to wake up with the next morning, someone to kiss, someone who would care if they got hurt. Someone to make them feel loved and wanted. Moirails to comfort and soothe, matesprits to adore and coddle, kismesises to push them further. Jawska had none of it. He felt guilty for despising them, for being jealous. He knew he should be happy that others felt such strong love and a sense of belonging. 

As he waited in a small line to order coffee, he looked at quad-themed travel coffee cups. They were lined up neatly on little shelves. Quadrants were supposed to be that easy, that neat, that orderly. It was supposed to be that simple. It seemed like everyone else on the planet had already figured that out. Everyone else had learned the secret to making relationships be that easy. Had there been a book that Jawska was supposed to read? Was there a television show that exposed the secrets that Jawska had missed? Did their lusii tell them? Maybe that was the issue, his lusus never got that far. 

But surely, surely there were more trolls who had lost their lusii young? So how did they figure it out? What was he missing? 

The barista smiled from behind the counter as Jawska approached. He ordered his coffee, iced with cream. The barista made small talk as she wrote on the cup. 

"Great weather for the holiday, huh? Are you doing anything special?" Her voice was chipper and her eyes were bright. Jawska laughed a little. 

"Yeah, not too cold...gunna spend the day with my moirail after work." The lie rolled off his tongue so fluidly. The barista accepted it and sent him on his way. 

Jawska was no stranger to being single by now but there was always this stigma with it. He wasn't certain how real it actually was, how much of this stigma he had fabricated. It was common for trolls to question him, give him weird looks. A man couldn't buy a bouquet of flowers just for himself, he had to do it for a quad. He couldn't order two small pizzas for himself; it was weird if he admitted they were for himself. It was shameful to spend the holiday on his own. So he had to lie. But lying came easy. It wasn't the lie that made him upset, it was how simple it was. It was the fact that he felt ostracized for not knowing the secret that every troll seemed to know. 

Jawska tried to be happy for those around him. For every stranger's smiling face. For every giggle, every shared kiss, every soft moment. He knew inside their hearts were full. He knew they had the key, the secret that allowed them to do as he couldn't. 

Jawska didn't feel like going into work just yet. He felt lonely enough just wandering around with a cup of coffee and an uneaten apple to call his only friends. The sky started to change colors, the world telling Jawska how long he had been out. The windows of passing shops were decorated and adorned in diamonds, spades and hearts. There were sales and deals on boxes of candy and cards and dinners for two, or three, or four. After his hours of wandering alone, Jawska had perfected the art of tuning them out. The love songs playing from shopfronts became nothing more than white noise. Trolls smiling and kissing faded into the background. The crowd started to thin slowly but surely as trolls returned to their hives, to hold their loved ones close in private.

Jawska brought the straw to his lips one final time only to discover the cup empty. All that remained was melting ice. He tossed both the cup and uneaten apple before finally deciding to head into the shop. It was closer than his hive. The likelihood of him feeling isolated was small in the shop. He wouldn’t have to hear the neighbors in his apartment complex laughing and talking and being in love through the thin walls.

He found the shop empty. Jawska felt his heart sink when the realization that he was alone settled in. Sionah had been there prior but was gone now. That's fine, Jawska told himself, it's better this way. He had arrived late with the intention of not meeting Sionah, but still felt sad for reasons unknown. It was foolish to have such hopes.

Jawska contemplated working on projects but being alone with his thoughts didn't sound fun anymore. The music could only go so loud. Eventually he’d run into a song that made him think. That wouldn’t be good either. He made his way up the stairs and into the small living space that Sio and him had renovated. He tossed his coat over the back of the couch before he noticed what was sitting neatly on the coffee table. 

A small heart shaped box. There was an envelope with his name, written neatly in Sionah's handwriting. 

Jawska gently opened the envelope, as if afraid of damaging it. A gift card was tucked inside, with a short and sweet note written underneath. Jawska found himself smiling. For a brief moment, he felt...hopeful. Seen. Wanted. 

Maybe he didn't know what the secret was. Maybe he'd never figure it out, and maybe he didn't have to know. Jawska had spent the day feeling alone and invisible. To him, everybody had a troll who wanted them, who cared about them. He had been so blinded by his conflicting emotions, by his jealousy of others, that he hadn't seen the troll who cared about him. 

Jawska allowed himself to relish in the joy for a moment. But that moment was short. He had Sionah, who loved him as a friend. But it was nothing more than that. Jawska knew well that platonic love was just as important and could be every bit as fulfilling. Platonic love was a different ballgame entirely. Sionah was important to him and there was little that Jawska wanted more than to see him happy and in love. Someone would, one day, love Sionah as he deserved to be loved. Someone would hold him close and make him smile. Someone could laugh with him and kiss the corners of his mouth. Whoever loves Sionah, wherever he may be, Jawska was sure he’d treat Sionah well. This troll would know the secrets that the universe had kept hidden from Jawska. And this troll would make Sionah happy in a way Jawska couldn’t. 

Sure, Sionah loved him as a friend, saw him, cared about him. But somehow, it left Jawska feeling lonelier than before.

Quarantine UST 5

//Seriously, writing for such a sustained stretch is...unprecedented...I think I haven’t done this since the beginning of my intro into this fandom. Maybe this period of time is good for something after all.

And yes, I definitely binged my way through FF7R as soon as it came out...

The days seemed to pass in a blur; yet as Sio woke up after another night of binging Netflix with Jess, it felt like nothing had changed, either. She’d adjusted to the rhythm of her new life fairly well: sleep in until 10am or so, leisurely troop downstairs for breakfast after brushing her teeth⁠—usually Adam was already up and frying some eggs, or sometimes they picked up coffee and pastries from a local cafe⁠—clean up, then she might go for a walk outside or spent some time in the yard while catching up on emails and texts from her family and Asao-san. By then, Jess and Mahesh were usually awake, and they’d all gather again for lunch (or in the other twos’ case, brunch), and afterwards Sio usually would do her training, either by herself or under Adam’s watchful guidance. Then it was free time (which usually involved another stroll outside), dinner, sometimes a group activity, and then everybody retired to their rooms for the night.

Recently, the group started venturing out a bit more; at first it was just to the local cafe for drinks and snacks, but yesterday the group’d gone for another grocery run, this time at the farmer’s market. Even with all the restrictions in place, Sio was glad to be able to spend some time outdoors again, and picking from the wide variety of fresh produce was much more fun than going to the grocery store.

Yawing, the sniper continued lounging in her bed, absentmindedly scrolling through her texts from last night. Her parents were doing okay (actually most of Japan seemed alright by comparison) though obviously they were concerned about her health and safety. Asao-san’s latest couple of messages contained the usual news and gossip, although the last one before she signed off left the sniper blushing and covering her face.

[Asao Kaoru]: By the way, how are things with Jack-san? You two seem to be getting awfully close... (ΦωΦ)~ Did you get any more peeks in during training?

“Moou, Asao-saaaan!! I-It’s not like, that!” The sniper screeched, tugging her hair. “Jeeze, why does everybody keep assuming we’re gonna...hook up or something like that...” 

Admittedly, her own brain wasn’t helping matters; at this point, she’d given up on denying her attraction towards him⁠—besides her nightly little ritual, she’d already had at least one...steamy dream involving him and no clothing. “Ugh...why do I have to make things so complicated...”

‘I just want to get to know him better, not get a crush on him! Besides, knowing him, he probably has a girlfriend waiting for him back in London. Or at least, had one...unlike me...’ A cool, good-looking guy like him who was the epitome of the tall, dark and handsome type? Sio looked down at her own flat chest, unfashionable haircut and childish face, and sighed. ‘Yeah right; I’d never stand a chance. He’s probably got way more experience and prefers girls who look like Newton...’

The thought depressed her more than she expected; even though she knew her chances were slim, and that shacking up with your platoon leader probably wasn’t the best idea, the thought of not getting any closer than just friendly teammates made her heart sink straight to the ground. ‘I know I’m just a below-average high schooler, and I don’t even have anything going for me except my e-gene; but even I can still hope, right...?’

She moped about all through her morning routine, not really bothering to fix her hair or wear anything aside from putting on a pair of shorts (why bother, it wasn’t like she was cute or anything). Walking into the quiet kitchen, she pulled out a box of cereal and some milk, sullenly eating her cold breakfast.

“Good morning, Sio dear. Oh goodness, is something the matter? You’re looking awfully peaked...you don’t feel ill, do you?” Jess came down the stairs, Sio a bit surprised as it was unusual for the blonde to be up before noon. “Hmm, you don’t seem feverish...”

“Oh, good morning, Jess-san.” She heaved another sigh, not really interested in finishing the rest of her soggy bowl. “It’s, nothing...I’m not sick, I guess I just feel...”

“The quarantine blues?” The sniper nodded, and the blonde patted her shoulder sympathetically. “There there, it’s perfectly normal. Things are unprecedented, you can’t expect to keep your spirits up all the time in a situation like this.”

“Yeah, well...I guess I’m surprised I’d let it get to me. I mean, all things considered, it’s not like we’re suffering or anything. There’s a lot of people who have it way worse than us...”

‘Yeah, and here I am moping about because I have the hots for my platoon leader even though I don’t stand a chance...’ 

Jess nodded in sympathy. “Definitely, I can see that. But you know, that doesn’t mean you can’t feel bad, either. I can’t say the past week has been much of a vacation, despite what Mahesh likes to claim. Feeling down about everything that’s been going on is understandable, and it isn’t healthy to pretend otherwise.”

“True...thanks, Jess-san...um, I guess it does feel a little better to talk about it.” Sio stirred her cereal a bit, surprised that she was finally having a true conversation with the blonde that didn’t involve a fear of tongues and kisses (mostly).

“Of course, dear. I apologize for my earlier behaviors...but I am still serious when I say I do want to be there for you, should you ever want another ear,” the blonde smiled kindly at the younger girl. “By the way, where is Adam? Don’t tell me he’s still asleep?”

“Eh? Adam-san...uh, I dunno. He’s usually here by the time I wake up, so...” Sio shrugged. “It’s not like I checked his room, but maybe he went out for something?”

As if on cue the front door unlocked, both girls turning around as Adam walked in, bag in one hand and a tray of drinks in the other. Sio rushed out to the foyer to help him unload and disinfect the door, keys, etc.

“Speak of the devil; we were just wondering about you,” Jess commented as Adam finally took his seat at the table. “New place this time?”

“Yeh; was checking out local places online yesterday and thought this might be a nice change of pace.” He passed out the drinks; only Mahesh’s chai latte remained untouched as the trio started unwrapping pastries and other baked goods. “Ogura, you’re alright with tea, correct? They didn’t seem to have anything like sencha, but I got jasmine, if that’s okay.”

“Oh, yes please; and thank you, Adam-san. You could’ve waited for us to get up,” Sio offered as she took a sip of her beverage. “I kinda feel bad for making you go all by yourself...”

“Eh, it’s fine. Even I like taking a break from cookin’ once in a while.” Their leader shrugged as he drank his coffee (pure black, no sugar or cream). “Besides, it’s nice to get some fresh air when it’s early in the morning. Also less folks t’ dodge...swear to god, every time we go out it’s like playing a game of Frogger...”

Sio sweatdropped, but it was true; as much as she cherished her daily walks, there was a reason why she preferred running on the treadmill. Trying to avoid other passerby who were also exercising or walking their dogs and also not getting run over by traffic... It was a good thing the yard was decently sized, and the days were slowly starting to warm up. The sniper glanced out the windows, where the golden rays were starting to bathe the garden with their yellow hues.

“Actually, I’m gonna eat out in the garden. The weather’s been so pleasant lately, might be nice for a change.” She took her tea and croissant with her; to her surprise, Adam followed. “Oh? Did you...also want to eat outside?”

“Why not; like you said, today seems to be shaping up to be pretty nice...would be a shame to spend it all indoors, again,” he gave her just a the slightest hints of a smile, and Sio felt her stomach fluttering with butterflies. Maybe she wasn’t insane for thinking it would be possible? Maybe?

“U-Um, s, so, how was the rest of the city?” She was stuttering again, much to her dismay; didn’t she get over this already?

Adam didn’t seem to notice, or at least, he didn’t comment on it. “Hm, mostly the same; not that many folks about, but all the better for me. At least we can still get takeaway and drinks.” He finished the rest of his cup. “I was surprised Jess’ up so early; usually she and Mirza sleep ‘til past noon...”

“Heh, me too.” Sio grinned as she finished her croissant. “Mm, this croissant is super flakey...so good...” If it weren’t for their training and exercise, she was sure she’d have gained at least 5 pounds by now. Even in the midst of a pandemic, San Francisco’s culinary scene did not disappoint; and that wasn’t even counting their cooking nights.

“To be honest, I’m more surprised you’ve been able to stick to a decent wake-up time every morning,” Adam teased, “considering someone always had to wake you for a morning meeting back at the Logan...”

The sniper nearly spit her tea back out. “H-Hey! Well, you’re always banging on my door every other morning anyway for some thing or other...so I figured, I might as well just save us both the trouble and get up anyway,” she pouted, cheeks tinged with pink. “Besides, those meetings were way early; if there’s one thing that’s better about this, is that I can at least sleep in a little...”

Adam smirked behind his sandwich, glad the sniper couldn’t see his face. For if she could, he was sure she’d be able to notice the warm flush spreading across his features, including his ears (mercifully hidden by his hair). She was adorable, really; the innocence of a girl, yet she was surprisingly insightful and able to see a clear line from point A to B, without being bogged down by details. ‘Not to mention that wit, when she actually works up the courage to talk back,’ he noted, recalling many of their previous conversations where she’d sparred with him using nothing but words.

Cunning, intuitive, determined and sincere; it was amazing how quickly his opinion of her changed, not just since she joined but even from the beginning of this quarantine. Hardly any of her quirks seemed detrimental now; silly at most, and charming at best. Was this what poets meant by love causing you to see everything through a rose-tinted lens? Even her appearance, which most people would probably consider average at best, gave him a flurry of feelings whenever he thought about them: large, round maroons, that cute bob with uneven bangs that could probably use a trim soon, and her slender, lithe figure... Adam swallowed and tried to turn his mind away from more lustful thoughts, but it was useless. It was obvious she was probably the most flat-chested female holder next to Geronimo, but it didn’t detract his attentions at all; if anything, he felt it suited her quite well. Once he’d caught a glimpse of those salacious photos Capa had distributed, and they gave him a bit of a shock—her willowy frame saddled with two huge water balloons that seemed to defy gravity, nevermind the fake, prancing-around poses the clones took.

All-in-all, good things definitely come in small packages, he decided. In fact, the smaller the better. Sio wasn’t that short, but her slight frame made it seem so, especially compared to him. He’d never paid attention, but Adam was sure the sniper would probably be just the right size for spooning, cuddled between his arms and those petite breasts could fit just right in his palms—

‘Hoo boy, stop right there Adam; you should not be thinking of your fellow holder in such a manner...’ But even his inner consciousness sounded half-hearted, as if it were just repeating things because that’s what was expected. And maybe it was right; even now, he still quarreled with himself on whether or not he should even pursue anything beyond friendly camaraderie with the girl. Her ambiguous feelings towards him aside, what if they got in trouble? What if it ended up interfering with their duties as e-gene holders? Or worse yet, what if it didn’t work out and the subsequent fallout ended up destroying their entire platoon?

“Adam-san?” He jerked up at her voice, having been lost in his own turmoil for the past couple of minutes. “Are you okay? You seem kind of...glum.”

You’re not wrong there, he almost said, but only shook his head. “Nah; just thinking about...stuff.”

The sniper nodded. “Yeah, I get that...I’ve been, kinda thinking on a lot of stuff too...”

Now it was Adam’s turn to be surprised. “Oh? Somethin’ else botherin’ you lately?”

“Ah uh, I mean nothing really...specific,” Sio squirmed, caught off-guard by his question. There was no way she could admit her burgeoning feelings for him. “I just...guess the whole pandemic situation is kind of getting to me, even though all things considered, this isn’t that terrible. But somehow things just feel...off.”

“Yeh, I get that too, sometimes. But I mean, this isn’t exactly a normal situation; people are sick and dying, we’re stuck in this house and still have to do our best to try and maintain a ‘normal’ life—and that’s not even counting the Objects mounting another attack at any minute.” Adam cut into the remainder of his muffin with a knife. “It’s normal to feel distressed about it—hell, I think I’d be more concerned if you weren’t...”

The sniper nodded, though she didn’t seem keen on finishing the rest of her pastries now, instead fiddling around with her fork. Adam felt a bit guilty; he hadn’t meant to ruin her nice garden breakfast with something gloomy like the virus. Especially not after they’d managed to have a normal, decent conversation.

“Hey uh, squirt? Y’know, if you need some time to yourself, you can skip your training for today,” he offered, the sniper blinking in surprise. 

“Oh...I-I mean, it’s fine, you don’t have to make an exception for me; it’s not like I physically feel bad or anything...”

“Don’t worry about it; I wouldn’t want you around that equipment when you’re all distracted like this, anyway. Last thing we need is an accident,” Adam muttered. To be sure, she’d definitely improved quite a bit, but sometimes he still did worry about her.

“...Are you saying you don’t trust me to handle myself?”

“...I’m just taking precautions.”

“Hnnn...” Sio didn’t say anything more, instead sullenly sipping the rest of her tea. 

Adam sighed inwardly. Why were girls so fickle to deal with at times? “...By the way, not sure if you’re interested, but one of our other care packages finally arrived, and they got our request for a game console plus some of the latest games, so...”

He didn’t finish, but Adam could tell by the way her eyes gleamed the second he mentioned the word Playstation. ‘Ah, so she’s also a gamer...’ Somehow he wasn’t surprised; it seemed natural that a military otaku would also be into video games, though he was curious if she played genres other than shooters or military sims.

“...What sort of games did they send?”

“Oh, I haven’t gone through them myself yet, but I’d assume a pretty wide variety...why, was there anything in particular you’re looking forward to?” Adam replied nonchalantly, testing out the waters. Maybe this would be a good opportunity to spend some time with her in a casual setting...

“Nothing really, but I mean, if there’s something good...” Her eyes shifted a bit over the edge of her drink, meeting his for a second before they darted back down at her plate. “I’ve been hearing a lot about Apex Legends...the guys from the Fifth Platoon are always talking about it.”

“Hm; I’m not that interested in battle royale types; I was actually thinking more along the lines of action RPG or adventure...”

They surreptitiously looked at each other for a few more seconds, before Adam suddenly got up.

“...You wanna go take a look, squirt?”

“...Okay.”

The two fast-walked back into the house, rushing by Jess who looked at the two in surprise and a yawning Mahesh, whom Adam barely had time to point to his drink—“don’t blame me if it’s cold, it’s not my fault you slept in”—and straight into the living room, where the 70-inch flatscreen sat in pristine condition, having only been used as a Netflix machine thus far. The package was still unopened, Sio carefully wiping it down first as Adam sliced the box open with ease.

“Oooh, what’s this? Looks like a headset...wait, oh my god is this one of those VR things everyone’s been talking about?” Sio’s eyes glittered with excitement as she dug around. “Wow, I wanna try it out later!”

“Let’s see, here’s the PS4,” Adam carefully set the machine up, along with its cables, “and as for games...well, looks like they did include Apex Legends, so if you want to give it a shot squirt, go ahead. Other than that...Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, whatever the latest iteration of Call of Duty is, Devil May Cry 5—that might be fun—Monster Hunter: World, and...well well,” Adam let a low whistle, “what do we have here?”

Sio looked over his shoulder, eyebrow raised as she read the title. “Final Fantasy 7...wait, isn’t this game super old?”

“Look closer, squirt; it’s the remake. I don’t know how those bastards managed to pull it off with everything that’s going on, but I know what I’ll be playing tonight.” Adam tried not to sound too eager, but it was hard; Final Fantasy VII, while already dated by the time he was old enough to enjoy video games, was still considered a classic, and he’d secretly been hoping for a chance to play it as soon as it was announced.

Sio looked on in wonder as Adam diligently set the rest of the system up. He seemed much younger for a change, almost like a puppy instead of a wolf. His boyish enthusiasm was charming, and Sio felt like she was seeing a part of his true self, for once. It made her feel warm all over, but not in a horny way; rather, it was the joy of seeing him genuinely happy for once, instead of shouldering the burden of being their leader. ‘So I was right about him being a gamer...I knew that Metal Gear Rising t-shirt was more than just a coincidence.’

“Well, I guess I know what we’re playing then...” Now that everything was finally ready, she took a seat on the couch next to Adam; both sets of eyes now glued to the giant screen as the opening sequence panned over the in-game city of Midgar, the classic theme blasting from the speakers.

Though Sio didn’t know much about the Final Fantasy series (famous as it was, she preferred her games with more bullet-hell sequences and tanks), within a few minutes she could see why it was so revered, and why Adam was so excited. Movie-quality graphics aside, the action was tightly-paced and almost non-stop, Sio getting more engrossed herself as Adam deftly controlled the action on-screen. Before either of them knew it, it was past lunchtime; the only indication any time passed at all was Sio’s stomach complaining rather loudly after Adam finally got Cloud & co. past chapter 3.

“Whoa, I didn’t know it was so...cool,” Sio sat down to their late lunch (Chinese takeout), still in a bit of a daze at her mind replayed the action sequences and storyline. “No wonder it’s so popular...”

“Oh yeh; holy hell, they did a banger of a job remaking it,” Adam dug into the boxes with relish, barely paying attention to what was going into his mouth. “Shit, the graphics, characterization, soundtrack—and the overhauled ATB system is amazing—”

“I like the characters a lot! They look so realistic...well, as realistic as anime characters can get,” Sio mused, remembering the intro with one very well-rendered Cloud Strife. “So, I’m guessing you like a lot of JRPGs then...?”

Adam nodded. “I do, but I’ll play pretty much anything, honestly. I think the only genres I don’t do are racing and puzzles.” He shook his head, emptying the rest of his plate. “You? I prefer it when the action’s hot, bonus points if it’s got a great story.”

“Uh, I don’t play that many RPGs in general, but sometimes I do if it’s really good. But uh, yeah, I...prefer shooters like Ikaruga, or Biohazard—er, I think they call it Resident Evil outside of Japan? Oh, but there was that one series that came out a while ago, and I was surprised because I also liked the plot a lot...it’s called Bioshock?” 

“Somehow, I’m not surprised to hear that; a military otaku like you, would be shocked if you didn’t have some type of shoot-’em-up as your top three,” Adam smirked, Sio laughing sheepishly. “Anyway, if you wanna start your own file while I’m working out, go ahead; like I said, you should take a break today, get some time in for yourself.”

“Ah—oh, uh, okay...thanks,” Sio trailed off as Adam left, presumably to change and then train. “Well...guess I’ll try playing by myself.”

The console booted up, and soon the sniper settled into a comfy pile of cushions, learning the battle system based on what Adam was doing earlier. While years of shooters—first person and otherwise—had honed her reflexes fairly well, Sio had to admit this system of ATB, materia, and character swapping was a bit of unknown territory. Luckily the game was generous with tutorials, but she still struggled a bit against her first real boss, after the beginning section was over. She groaned as the ‘game over’ screen flashed, kneading her temples. 

“Man, I thought I had it! What happened...did I not use the right skills?”

“You might wanna check your materia slots, squirt. Those’ll matter a lot in the coming battles.”

A low, husky tone breathed right next to her ear, and Sio nearly jumped out of her skin. “Aaagggh! A-Adam-san, don’t do that! You scared the crap out of me...” She protested, hugging a pillow to her chest as Adam chuckled.

“Sorry squirt, but I was curious to see how you’d do. Didn’t wanna interrupt the fight, though seems like you’re gonna need to retool your party’s materia and gear first.” When he left, Adam was curious if the girl would continue playing Final Fantasy, or pop in another game. But it seemed Cloud Strife’s fabulous chocobo-locks had worked their magic, and he returned from training to find the sniper valiantly trying to defeat the motorcycle-crazy Rosche.

“Hrrm...I don’t really know what some of these descriptions mean. Magic I get, but things like MP up? Chakra?”

“Budge up a bit there, squirt, and I’ll give you some tips.” The sniper scooted to make room for the silver-haired man, as he plopped himself onto the couch and took the controller. “First off, always get HP up; more health never hurts. And then of course, healing...”

Sio nodded, but in reality she was only half paying attention. Adam was sitting right next to her, along with those chiseled muscles still glistening with sweat as his shirt clung to those washboard abs...swallowing thickly, she forced herself to listen to his advice, but even his scent was distracting; there was sweat, but it wasn’t offensive, mixed with a rather musky odor that she couldn’t quite place...

“—and this should be a pretty good setup,” Adam finished. “Uh, squirt? Ogura?” He snapped his fingers in front of her face. “Oy, snap out of it; what’s gotten into you? 

“A-Ah—huh? Hai? I-I’m, fine...” Adam raised an eyebrow, but Sio snatched the controller back before anything else happened. “Th, Thanks for the advice...I think I’ll be able to get him this time...”

Adam blinked. “...Alright. Well, good luck then.” 

‘Was she checking me out?’ Though he tried not to rouse suspicion as he left, he’d definitely noticed Sio staring at more than just the screen while he’d been redoing her party members. ‘And I’m pretty sure she wasn’t randomly looking around the house.’ Oh no. The sniper definitely had a long way to go if she wanted to be more discreet about her little voyeuristic habits. 

The thought of their innocent little sniper actually being not-so-innocent made him hot all over again, and Adam groaned, because he knew this was the kind of heat that couldn’t be solved with simply a cold shower.

“Bloody hell...” ----- “Well, it sure seems like you two have found your quarantine activity,” Mahesh commented at dinner that night, both the sniper and the Ripper arriving long after the food arrived. “Sorry, we just went ahead and ordered some stuff we thought you’d enjoy.” He pushed their respective bentos towards the other two. “But it’s Japanese tonight, Sio, so hopefully it’s up to your standards.”

“Mmm...oh man, it’s so nice to eat Japanese food again...” Sighing with delight, Sio eagerly dug into her chicken karaage, potato salad and white rice. “A-Ah, that’s not to say the food we’ve been getting is bad or anything, it’s been really fun to try a lot of different cuisines and taste everybody’s home cooking too...”

“This is really good; I guess they weren’t kidding about San Francisco being a melting pot,” Adam nodded in approval. “Good thing DOGOO’s footin’ the bill...I wouldn’t fancy being the one having to pay for all this.”

“Just like they’re paying for all your gaming purchases?” Jess smiled knowingly at the other two, who proceeded to turn oddly pink. “What are you two playing anyway that’s got you so engrossed? It must be good, if you two are willing to skip dinner.”

“Oh, uh, it’s the latest Final Fantasy VII Remake! I’ve never played it before, but Adam has, and then I started playing it too and it’s just so good and the battles are super cool and it’s a lot of fun to play--” Sio started gesticulating wildly, chopsticks flinging rice haphazardly and Adam had to sternly remind her to not toss food everywhere.

“Oy squirt, calm down! Say it, don’t spray it.” He muttered, flicking a piece of rice off his shirt.

“And then they even sent a VR headset! Which I’m super curious about,” Sio finally finished her bento, so they could talk without the risk of food flying about. “You guys should try it out too! I-I mean, not that I’m forcing you two to play video games if you’re not interested...”

Mahesh hummed in amusement, looking at least mildly fascinated. “I’m probably a ‘casual’ gamer by yours and Adam’s standards, but I’d be willing to try out this virtual reality deal. I wonder how it compares with Capa’s illusions...”

“Ugh, don’t remind me,” Sio grimaced, still remembering all those inappropriate pictures Capa took (and then distributed, the nerve of him). “Pervy old man...”

“Well, certainly we won’t have to worry about that. Let’s all check it out, then; Jess, you in?”

The blonde nodded, though not without conceding that gaming wasn’t really her thing, but it might be fun to watch others. 

“I’m more of an analogue girl; I don’t care that much for all those flashy explosions on screen, but bring me a set of Catan or Dixit and I’ll play any day.”

Now the entire squad was circled in the living room, the large windows open for some fresh, night air. After some rigging, Adam managed to figure out how to configure an output so those who weren’t wearing the headset could see what was going on, via his laptop.

“Alright, now who’s our first lucky contestant? Sio-chan, since you seem so excited, why don’t you go first?”

The sniper squeaked, not being used to put on the spot. “M, M-Me? U-Uh, I’ve been playing a lot of games today, s-so, why don’t you or Jess try it?” She laughed nervously, hoping they wouldn’t force her to take center stage.

“Yeh Mirza, you seem awfully eager to see how it works...why don’t you give it a whirl,” Adam goaded. Those dark eyes seem to meet his in a challenge, before the Indian resolutely put on the gear.

Everybody else watched eagerly as the screen loaded up. “Whoa; I’m not going to lie, the graphics aren’t photorealistic, but it sure feels like you’re somewhere else,” Mahesh gingerly stepped around, everyone suddenly giving him a wide berth as he set up the boundaries. “Please warn me if I’m about to run into something, or someone; I can’t exactly see anything in the real world...”

“I wonder if we’ll ever get to the point where it’ll feel even more like we’re inside a different world,” Sio said quietly to Adam, as Mahesh started playing a rhythm-action game called Beat Saber. “I don’t like Capa, but I have to admit his AU weapon is incredible. When I was doing those training exercises, it really felt like I was in a jungle, or in the middle of Shibuya...”

“Maybe; but I think we’ve got a ways to go,” Adam responded dryly, arching an eyebrow as the Indian flailed his arms all over the place. “...Definitely a ways to go.”

After a couple of tracks, Adam couldn’t take it anymore; seeing Mirza’s piss-poor coordination and timing destroyed any sense of fun or pleasure from the thumping EDM/techno tracks provided by the game. “Alright, you’ve had your fun. Let me give it a try.”

“More like Adam can’t stand Mahesh butchering those songs anymore,” Jess whispered, and Sio giggled. “He doesn’t like talking about his hobbies, but I know for a fact he’s into these music-type games. Who else do you think petitioned to get that dancing revolution machine installed in the Logan’s workout room...”

Before Sio could fully realize that statement, Adam took over. He selected a track that none of them had ever heard of before, and despite this being his first time playing, immediately notched the difficulty up to Hard. ��Someone’s tryin’ to show off, eh?” Mahesh teased, but that didn’t seem to deter the silver-haired man one bit. If anything, Adam was laser-focused on the track before him, slicing through the colored blocks flying past with coordinated ease, as if he’d memorized the track beforehand.

“Whoa, he’s so good...how the heck does he know where to slice and stuff? I can barely keep up with what color they are, let alone what direction to hit,” Sio murmured, staring at the neon-colored action in awe. “There’s no way...he hasn’t played this before, has he?” She watched as Adam completed another combo streak, his multiplier at the max of 8x. “What the hell...”

Mahesh shrugged. “Who knows; I don’t think so, since VR is so new, but that’s Adam for you. Always full of hidden surprises...and probably some he hasn’t even revealed yet.” The trio watched in silence until Adam finished the track, with an impressive score of A, to their fervent applause.

“Well that was an ace performance! Especially for your first try.”

“No kidding; what, can you see the blocks before they appear or something? Sure you don’t have some hidden ability to see the future?” Jess jokingly suggested, though for some reason Adam flinched a bit at the statement.

“...Ha ha, real funny. If you must know, it helps a lot when you’re familiar with the song...”

“Eh? Adam-san, so you like this type of music, huh? Electronica?”

For some reason the sniper’s question made him blush, his cheeks turning even redder than they already were from the faux-workout. “Uh, yeh...I listen to a whole bunch of stuff, just so happens I recognized this track, and uh, decided to give it a go...”

“Now now, no need to be modest! Music or not, you really are good at this type of stuff. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, given how skilled you are on the battlefield...” Mahesh praised.

“Yeh, and it’s a good thing you’re a defender-type, not an attacker; otherwise we’d be long dead already,” Adam replied sarcastically, making a jab at the Indian’s less-than-stellar hand-eye coordination. “Anyway, I’m headin’ up; that took more out of me than I expected, and I want a quick rinse before bed. G’night.”

“Oh uh, good night, Adam-san,” Sio watched curiously as he climbed up the stairs. “I wonder if he’s upset about something...it’s not that late,” she glanced at the clock, which just hit 10:30pm. “Maybe he’s tired.”

“Or, more like someone’s just bashful. Don’t worry Sio, he’s not offended. I just don’t think he’s the type who likes being the center of attention all of a sudden,” Jess mused, as Mahesh picked up the controls again. “Ironic, considering he’s our de facto platoon leader.”

“Well, you don’t have to be outgoing to be a leader, I guess.” Sio nodded, reaffirming her thoughts. Adam was not the smoothest talker, but he had a certain charisma, especially on the battlefield. While Nobunaga’s e-gene was invaluable for strategizing, she wouldn’t deny that Adam knew how to adapt and call the shots, especially in the heat of battle. It was the same type of charisma she felt now, that inexplicably drew her towards him, despite his stoicism and sometimes abrasive words.

‘Though, he’s definitely less harsh, now. Not just his words, but the way he acts, around everybody too...’

He was a kind person, she decided. Probably just not used to letting his guard down, and Sio had a feeling that was partly due to his childhood, of being alone and having to fend for himself. ‘Kinda like me, except I’m just super awkward and terrible with talking to people in general...’

“I liked that song he played...I don’t usually listen to music without lyrics, but it’s really catchy. I kinda wanna listen to it again...” Sio pondered as the rest of the group finally decided to retire for the night.

“Why don’t you go ask him?” Sio blinked in surprise as Mahesh sidled up next to her. “He said he’d heard it before, right? Maybe he can share it with you.”

“Ah, I—uh, I don’t, wanna bother him with something trivial like that...” She laughed nervously, though Mahesh simply winked at her. She stopped short of the attic staircase right before the room, and looked up. The door was already closed, and he was probably already asleep, but Mahesh’s suggestion repeated itself in her mind.

‘Actually, maybe I will...after all, why not. I’ll ask him tomorrow...what kind of music he likes...’

If she was lucky, maybe he’d even offer to let her listen to some. Flushing hotly at the thought, Sio quickly went into her room and dove underneath the covers.

‘Ah Sio...what are you getting yourself into now...’

Some nights I stay up, cashing in my bad luck || Self

Victor picked Violet up into his shoulders making her laugh as she reached up into the tree. She picked the flower she had been reaching for and stuck it behind his ear, kissing his temple cutely as he grinned from ear to ear. He had an amazing best friend in Ava, he had a loving aunt to take care of him and he had Violet at the center of his life.

Never had he even known this was something to wish for but he knew now it was a dream come true.

He swung her around and hugged her close, kissing her temple as she had done his.

"I'm going to get a tattoo right there." He poked her temple,"Its going to be of a flower called the Halo Violet."

She clapped her hands. She was so much older than when they had met, but they both were still practically infants considering the time they had been on earth. They had the bodies and minds of older beings, he was full grown and she was barely still a kid, but she gave him the childhood he had missed and craved.

He had been tough and he had been cold. He had been fake and he had believed he was happy. Now he knew better. Asmo had abused him.

He shuddered as he remembered being chained in dark rooms and being told this was how incubus lived. Told to be grateful to Asmo for saving him and giving him a chance. Being shamed for wasting his chance as he was. He didnt even want to think about what was done to him by the other incubus in the dark room.

He didnt want to think what Asmo would do to him in purgatory if he died right now.

"Look 'Tor." Violet was the only one who called him this name and it made his heart swell. He barely knew the grandmother he shared a name with but for Violet to give him a similar nickname to Tori made him feel like a person and not just an incubus.

"What is it, honey?" He asked, lowering her to the ground, turning to see Alphie headed their way. He didnt look happy. He looked furious.

"Daddy?" She asked, catching onto Alphies demeanor.

"Come here, Violet. Get away from him." Alphie snarled, making Violets lip quiver," Now, Vi."

"Okay." She pulled out of Victor's grasp and walked over to Alphie who scooped her up on his hip and turned her slightly away from Victor, protectively.

"Dad, what's going on?" Victor asked. As he took a step closer, Alphie hit the center of his chest hard enough to knock the air our of him,"Dad!?"

"Victor, why did you take my mark off of Lacy?" Alphie hissed.

"I... I was sick, Dad. Asmo was in my fucking head and kept telling me he was going to mess me up. I was such a failure that he would show me how pampered I was. How incubus really live. I was scared." He swallowed thickly.

"It would have taken you /Hours/ to exhaust her enough to take that mark off. Then the pain you put her through. This... I cant have you around Violet anymore." Alphie turned her more away as she started to cry loudly.

"Why!?" Victor took a desperate step, feeling the force push him off his feet. He sat hard and got to his knees,"Dad, why!?"

"You're still making moves for the throne. I cant risk you hurting Violet for the throne. I wont risk it. If I see you near her again-..." Victor cut him off.

"NO! You cant take her away from me. Please. I'm bound to her. I'm her knight." Victor pleaded.

"You love your Aunt Sio and still killed her. Taking that mark shows you're still trying. Love her or not, I cant trust you wont do the same to her." He adjusted Violet, hushing her harshly as she squirmed in his arms.

"Dad..." Victor moaned in agony.

"Stop calling me that, and stay away from my daughter." Alphie put her doen and held her hand tightly as she reached for Victor.

"I never once actually made a move against you! Not once. I made us equals but that was because if we werent, Asmo made me feel like a failure. He used to lock me in dark rooms and let other Incubus have me if I failed. You dismissed me every time you saw me. You still sometimes do. You would never fight me, you would just brush me aside like I was nothing to you. I love your daughter and I adore your sister, but you've made my life hell. My parents are the worst. Now let Violet come to me, or we are bringing our queen into this." He put his hand out for hers.

Alphie grabbed it instead and took them all to hell,"You ungrateful, I was protecting you! I couldnt love you because I knew you were created and raised to kill me by Asmo, but I brushed you aside instead of slaughtering you."

A chain clasped around Victor's neck and two more on his wrists, pulling taught, forcing him to his knees. He started to thrash as a cage started to close around him. Violet broke free of Alphie and ran to the cage, shaking the bars. She turned and tried to squeeze through them sideways, reaching, but Victor's hands were pulled tight. Incubus started appearing in the cage with him as Victor's eyes grew wider.

"Father! Dont do this! I'm begging! I'll make a deal! Please! You saw the deal I made with Aunt Sio! Please!" But Alphie didnt listen. He grabbed Violet by the hand and they returned to the asylum.

The incubus and Succubus started to paw him as he thrashed in the chains, crying for Violet.

[bunnis-babes]

Hiya, Could I get some domestic headcanons for Aizawa, Shigaraki and Fatgum? Im a slut for cute things, thank you !!

I actually already have a request for domestic Aizawa, Sio what I think I’m going to do is finish them on the same day and post them around the same time. So keep a look out for that if you still want some Aizawa fluff bb.

Shigaraki

✋Shigaraki loves to eat his lovers cooking, and he eats it greedily. He isn’t the kind of person to share, nor is he going to give a verbal reaction of how much he likes it, but his s/o knows he really loves it.

🤚His s/o makes him a glove that covers some of his fingers so her can touch them and hold their hand. Because of this he constantly will have his hands on them, craving their touch more than anything in the world.

🖐He isn’t very cuddly, like I said above, but he does really like have some sort of physical touch with his s/o. It reassures him of them being with him, and keeps him calm when he gets worked up.

🖖He likes to hold them in his lap as he plays video games in his room. But he won’t let them get up and move around once they’re in his lap.

✋He doesn’t like it when they try to get up, because he feels like they don’t want his touch, so he gets sulky. His sulking will stop quickly if they kiss his cheek, then it turns in to quiet embarrassed grumbles.

🤚HIs lips are crusty, so his s/o clearly wouldn’t really like being kissed by them, so that makes him pouty. So he gives in and starts using chapstick to help himself, but he will only use it if they put it on for him. (Cause he’s a big baby)

🖐He only freaking smiles around his s/o, like full toothy smile. He only smiles when they do something cute in private as well, because he can’t stop himself when they’re so adorable.

🖖Very very protective of them, when they come back after a mission he pulls them to his room and check over them. He just kind of awkwardly brings them into a hug after making sure they’re okay because he was just worried, okay.

Fatgum

🍭He cooks with his s/o all the freaking time. They always try to make something new each night, looking exotic recipes from around the world or making something random with whatever in their kitchen.

🍭They go shopping together and he carried them around on his shoulders as they walk around the isles. Like, no one is going to tell the tall and borderline intimidating pro-hero to stop, so they just let him do it.

🍭Big cuddler, he just loves to cuddle whenever and however. He can be the big spoon and the little spoon, he loves all types of cuddles for any mood. He’s just a very good and universal cuddler.

🍭He likes to leave little notes for his s/o around the house when he can’t be home. Like just little reminders for self care and how much he loves and misses them.

🍭This relationship is based on consent of everything, he always asks before he touches his s/o or gives them a kiss. Always knocks on the doors in their house if they’re close in case they want privacy, asks if he can look at what they’re working on at that time.

🍭He buys them flowers a lot. Like their house is filled with flowers because he likes the way they smell and it’s just nice gift to give.

Fatgum’s are shorter than Shigarakis, but I think they’re way cuter than his so >:P Hope these were enjoyable, also they are a day late because I fucking forgot that I had writing to do somehow. Sorry. Also, thanks again for 1.300, please participate in my ask the boys event it would make me very happy.

SIO SIO SIO I HAD ANOTHER OPVENGERS THOUGHT!!!! Ok so in canon, clint ends up lost/in dumpsters all the time. SO! now that theyve made it back to OP world, Clint gets "lost"? (maybe hes really lost maybe its on purpose to get info or whatever) and Runs into the REVS before Ace and Co do? and Just kinda goes with it? Bonus points if he accidentally gets involved with whatever theyre doing because someone reminded him of Natasha or something

“This is my dumpster,” Clint tells the red head that had thrown herself into it. He had even waited for the shouting and banging that had followed her to stop before telling her, he was being polite. “I don’t share dumpsters.”

She raises an eyebrow and Clint feels like she’s judging everything he’s ever done, which isn’t fair! She doesn’t even know him and this isn’t even his home world, she doesn’t have the right to judge him like that.

“I don’t think you can judge me, Miss Running Away from People who Sound Important,” Clint knows that she can’t tell the parts of the name that are suppose to be upper case, but it makes him feel better. “Did you steal something?”

“No.”

Clint is already upset that she tried. That was the worst lie that he’s heard and he’s heard Tony try to lie about how much food he’s eaten in relation to how much coffee he’s had to drink. He think she realizes that because she frowns and looks away from him to peek out the dumpster and ducks back down.

“You stole something,” Clint repeats.

She frowns at him, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who are you and why are you in this dumpster?”

“I think that I get to ask the first question here because I’m the one that was in the dumpster first,” he ignores her look. “And if I don’t, I’ll get the attention of whoever is hunting you.”

“That’s a hard bargain. What do you want?”

“Your name.”

“Koala. Who are you and why are you in a dumpster?”

Clint hums, “That’s two whole questions. One at a time, tiny red one.”

“Fine,” she looks like she was trying to be sneaky and it’s adorable because it reminds him of what he thinks little Natasha would have looked like. Even if he knows that face would only show up on her face if she wanted to play him or was so much younger. “Your name.”

“Barton Clint,” the naming conventions are at least simple to grasp. “What are you doing here?”

“I stole something. You?”

“Got into a bar fight and woke up here. I’m probably gonna have to get up and look for my crew soon. If I can find the energy to move,” Clint is tired and doesn’t want to move. Maybe Tony’s tracking chips are still working and they’re hunting him down. “But I’m here. Are you a marine?”

Koala laughs herself sick, “I’m a member of the Revolutionary Army,” she stops and her hand bends part of the rim. “You tricked me.”

“I did not, I stole information. I’m a pirate,” the word leaves a strange taste on his tongue, a mix of nostalgia for a childhood that he didn’t have much of and sheer confusion at the fact he can say he’s a pirate with a straight face and mean it. “Pretty sure my bounty is more than your’s.”

Ace had explained how bounties worked, including the one that he had gotten, raising steadily higher as people started to believe that he was who he was instead of another impostor. Clint’s is going steadily too, enough that he will snag a poster when he leaves to brag about it to Natasha.

“No it’s not,” Koala peers out from over the top of the dumpster. “I’m leaving.”

“Don’t get killed,” Clint calls cheerfully after her, letting his head drop back down just as Ace peers at him from the roof. “Oh, hey buddy!”

“Tony says you can’t come on the ship if you smell bad. Pepper agreed.”

Clint groans, “But you’re the captain.”

“The captain who doesn’t want Pepper to kill him in his sleep,” Ace says shrugging easily. “Come on, we can shower and you can tell me about that red head you were chatting with.”

“How long have you been up there?”

Ace frowns at the sky for a minute, “An hour? There were too many marines to risk it. Were looking for the right hand of the Revolutionary’s Chief, pretty sure that was her.”

“Huh, help me up? I think I bruised my side and I want food.”

I too would like to hear how you got obsessed with the pretty blonde meme boy?

okay i don’t remember this from the top of my head even tho it happened three months ago, so i’m gonna dive into my youtube history.

as i mentioned it all started with coming across why worry on youtube, and loving it. oddly enough i knew cody and i knew of sio. like, i knew what happened with austin. like i’ve seen his covers, and the one with against the current. for as far as i can see i watched a recommended Altpress video about sio and then i watched cody’s Q&A, his covers and… fell down the rabbit hole

ok, i now remember i started to really listen to them when they announced dancing with the devil and for you forever. around that time i just dove into their youtube channel and watched all of the weekly videos, getting to know them, and taking a special liking to maxx because he is both adorable and dumb. i followed them on twitter bc they were funny lads. i basically just spend a couple of days in december going through all of their videos and falling in love.

i think my love for maxx happened when i started watching his livestreams, the first one being on january 1st, i think. i feel like i got to know him as a person, how soft and funny he is, and well… the rest is history :-) also the NYE thing, he’s so soft in that. and when he said i break for the wicked horse i knew i was done for.

i accidentally wrote an entire essay about how i discovered sio i’m sorry

Another stream art! @myrthrae commissioned me for a sketch of this adorable guy (Sio) a while back, and this weekend had me color the sketch. He’s so stinkin’ cute! Thank you again. :)

🎊 👍👌💭☺ {(IS IT SPOIL ANGIE WITH LOVE DAY?! I THINK IT IS!!)}

|| IT IS NOT SPOIL ANGIE DAY WOMAN || @fracturedxprospice ||

🎊 I’m happy to have met you. 

{AHHHHHHH I’M HAPPY TO HAVE MET YOU TOOOOO! EVERYONE THIS IS MY SQUISHY, AND SHE IS SO VERY SQUISHABLE. LOVE HER LOTS SHE NEEDS ALL THE LOVE}

👍 You’re doing great! Keep it up! 👌 Your character portrayal is amazing. 

{If you listen closely you can hear the distant sounds of MY SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY IN THE BACKGROUND HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!}

☺ I love our muses’ relationship! 💭 Your thoughts on our threads? 

{You know I love all of their relationships too! Like, I can’t even with some of them~! I’m constantly asking myself how they end up working so well together, whether it’s them as friends, nonfriends, something more, or even those ones that we just have no clue what they are but we love them anyway! As for my thoughts on our threads? Well I mean, if I don’t include all what, 25-30 of them? Haha, I just love them all, every single one of them!

Ichi and Nunnie, let’s start with these two because gosh darn it, they are too frickin adorable. Ichirou simply loves to keep her on her toes, keep her guessing just what he is going to do next and he loves each and every one of her responses and reactions to him. He simply can’t get enough and neither can I.

Milo and Shiori are crazy but so amazing together. The bestest of best friends. Yes, apparently I’m allowed to say friends now instead of simply nonfriends but they still totally are nonfriends. Even considering the fact the something deeper lingers in there, even if just on her end and the fact that even with that, nothing more than what they have will come from it is heartbreaking yet endearing at the same time! There is going to be so much between these two! I’m excited to see their story unravel.

Rion and Yesenia, these two… Another thread that’s really something else. Like, they are hilarious together, but at the same time, Sen is just like, all over the place with her thoughts and emotions even if you take out the whole being in heat thing.

Isis and Liam, well, we kinda knew at some point things would go down that road with them but hey, I’m curious to where things will lead from this point onward since, well you know what I mean.

Haru and Sio, another two that are going to have a hell of a story together and things are just going to be so amazingly angsty and just… Ahhhhhh

For everyone else, I’m really looking forward to the developments between them and where the thread leads! Like so many possibilities and even more for the angst! YESSSS GIVE ME ALL THE THREADS. ALL THE MUSES. ALL THE LOVE AND ANGST. ALL THE SHIPS. EVERYTHING.}
