Hello yall! I'm getting a head start and queueing this extra early (its technically Wednesday for me right now)
Once again, under the cut, for length reasons, and nsfw reasons <3
-------------
PWP Dom Henry and Free Use Alex
“You are not going to cum yet, Alexander. Calm down,” the blond hissed, “Or call a color,” he added in a quiet voice.
“N-no, I can.. I can calm down,” Alex whined, “That’s so cold,” his voice was soft and pathetic, “I just wanted to cum.”
“But you won’t, not till I say you can, not till I’m done with you,” Henry reiterated, “Because you want to be good for me. And Alex? You are a good boy, you’re the best boy, and you are not going to let me down.”
“I’m good, I’ll be good for you… W-wanna be good for you so bad, Hen,” Alex cried.
“That’s what I thought,” Henry purred, “Just a moment more,” he said before leaning closer to press a kiss to the side of Alex’s thigh, “Let’s get those balls nice and cold, it’ll take you a minute to warm up, hm? That should take some of the need away.”
“Yeah,” Alex nearly sobbed, but his cheeks were dry, no tears falling, “Thank you for helping me be a good boy.”

GEORGE THOUGHTS (Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this fic are those of George Villier’s and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the author.)
“Good boy, you’re my favorite,” it was whispered against a sweat soaked temple, and for the day at least it was true.
His hand fell to his own thigh, fingers wiping through the slick there and bringing them to his own lips. He sucked at those fingers, salt and bitterness on his tongue, his opposite hand falling to the pet still kissing his neck. With one shove he pushed them aside, “Wine,” he murmured against his own fingers. He couldn’t help but smile hearing ‘yes master’ leave the young woman’s lips. A delicate hand placed behind his head, leaning it up as a cup was placed to his lips, wine poured into his mouth. Sweetness burned down his throat as he tilted his chin up to signal he was finished drinking. That lover was rewarded with a hard kiss, the last swallow of wine in his mouth pushed into hers, their tongues intertwining as vermillion ran down their chins.

Client Alex and Hairstylist Hen
“W-wait, what?” Alex stammered, “You’re…leaving? You’re not going to even let me get you off?” He was pulling himself off that wall some but resting a hand behind his back for steadiness. “But wait, didn’t you come here to like- prove me wrong? You have to do that, right?” he asked, clearly grasping for straws.
“Ah, right, smart thinking,” Henry nodded, undoing his own pants, and lifting his shirt half up. It was just enough for Alex to see the soft tummy that was creating a slight muffin top above those pants. The brunette found it entirely grabbable, but Henry didn’t seem to notice the intense stare. Instead, he pushed the front of his pants and underwear down, resting them on the base of his own cock. He was visibly hard, and yet all he did was show Alex the tawny pubic hair there, “Blond, see, you were wrong, I was being honest,” he hummed, before fixing his pants into place again.
Alex was still staring in awe, as if everything happening amazed him, “I… you’re really leaving? What if I say that you seem like the kind of guy who’d dye your pubes too?”
“Then I’d tell you to fuck off,” the blond said matter-of-factly.

Xiao Kissed Lumine, Called It a Game, Until This Game Led F/N to Spend the Night with Kinich
Warning: Anti-Xiao, Anti-Lumine, Angst, University AU
Trigger warning: Cheating, Implied Sex
Lumine, F/N's junior, was chosen in the game of Truth or Dare and voluntarily kissed F/N's boyfriend, Xiao and F/N broke up with him in front of everyone. However, Xiao only dismissed it as a tantrum. “Don't be such a sore loser.” the management major taunted. “If it were you kissing someone else for a game, I wouldn't care at all.”
Xiao had just assumed that a goody-two-shoes like F/N would never do anything outrageous. In the next round, his buddy, Kinich Malipo, the most popular guy in the management department, was chosen for a dare; take a a girl with you for the night. He slowly extended his hand towards F/N, a lazy smirk playing on his lips. “Want to give it a try with me tonight?”
in the end, F/N placed her hand in his and agreed.
That night, Xiao called F/N non-stop.
The dare that Lumine gave was: choose a guy present and kiss him for three minutes. The next second, her gaze landed squarely on Xiao who was sitting beside F/N. Everyone followed her gaze.
Xiao just lowered his eyes, playing with F/N's hand as if he couldn't feel the intense stare.
Lumine boldly asked F/N, “Senior, I'm borrowing Xiao for three minutes.”
The air was so still that it seemed like everyone was holding their breath, nervously and eagerly watching this unfolding drama.
“There are so many single guys here.” F/N gave the blond girl a flat look. “Why don't you ask someone else?”
Lumine was at a loss for words; biting her lower lip and looking embarrassed.
“If you kiss her, Xiao, I will break up with you.” F/N spat. “I really will.”
Lumine's patience ran out. “Don't be so petty, F/N.”
One of Xiao's friends couldn't stand it any longer and tried to persuade F/N, “Don't take it too seriously. It's just a game.”
His girlfriend muttered under a breath, “Yeah, really ruining the mood. Why bother coming to a bar when you're going to be such a buzzkill?”
Before F/N could respond, Kinich, who hod been sitting silently in the corner of the booth, suddenly let out a light laugh. The focus of the room immediately shifted to him as his gaze landed on the girl who had just spoken. He asked slowly, in a measured tone, “If you're so cool with it, why don't you kiss every guy in the room? Except for me.” he added lazily. “I'm not that cool with it. Buzzkil.” he mocked her with her own words.
F/N stared at him in shock, unable to believe that as Xiao's friend, he would actually speak up for her. The surprise was so overwhelming that she almost forgot to be upset when the two people who had been kissing for three minutes finally finished and pulling her out of her daze.
When Xiao sat back down next to F/N, she was just opening her phone to delete him from her WeTalk. The faint satisfaction on his face instantly vanished, replaced by an emotionless stare. “What do you mean?”
“I just told you, we're breaking up.” F/N reminded.
As F/N was about to block his number, Xiao grabbed her hand. “Are you done with this nonsense?” and he let out a ridiculous laugh, a thin layer of anger lacing his confusion. “It was just a game. How far are you going to take this? If it were you kissing someone else because of a game, I wouldn't care at all.”
He was so bold because Xiao knew how conventional F/N was. But before he could finish, the noise from the other side suddenly grew louder; Kinich had drawn the most daring card of the night: 'Take any girl here and spend the night with her.'
The room fell silent when Kinich looked straight at F/N, everyone stunned as they watched him slowly walk over to her and extend his hand and asked, 'Want to give it a try with me tonight?”
Xiao narrowed his eyes at Kinich, smiling as he warned, “If you're drunk, I'll have someone send you home. Kinich, this is my girlfriend.”
Kinich glanced at him nonchalantly, “So, it's just a game. Xiao. Don't be a sore loser.”
Xiao reminded calm, “Why would I be? My girlfriend is too conservative. She wouldn't agree to this, so I'll refuse for her.”
But in the next second, F/N placed her hand on Kinich's palm. “Okay.”
The smile froze on Xiao's face as Kinich pulled F/N up and led her towards the door and leaving gasps and exclamations in the room behind them.
“Stop.” Xiao's voice was the loudest among them. He was still sitting in the booth. In a causal tone, he mocked, “I just wanted to say, let me know which hotel you book and I'll bring you guys some condoms.”
F/N spoke before Kinich could, smiling brightly, “No need, I'm on the Pill. Still worrying about your ex-girlfriend's hotel plans after a breakup? Isn't that a bit too much, Xiao? Sorry,” she looked at him with pity. “I don't like simps.”
Before Xiao's face could darken, she grabbed Kinich and walked out of the door.
It wasn't until F/N was seated in Kinich's car that she finally exhaled deeply, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. With the frustration vanishing, she politely thanked Kinich, “Thank you for helping me out today. Just drop me off at the subway station up ahead.”
“Do you know the consequences of lying to them?” Kinich reminded.
F/N shook her head, before opening her phone to check what the group chat had said: the group leader had laid the 'Forever Poor' penalty for everyone who lied.
“Get out.” Kinich pulled up at the subway entrance. “It's only a lifetime of poverty. What do you mean?” he frowned when F/N stopped him from opening the car door.
“I want to sleep with you.” F/N blurted out.
“But I don't.” Kinich refuted.
“Sorry,” F/N slowly nodded. “I think I drunk too much. I'll be going then.”
Kinich, however, locked the car door and started the car without a word, steadily speeding up.
Eventually, Kinich pulled up at a quiet bar. “Don't forget, just because we have to spend the night together doesn't mean it has to involve anything inappropriate to keep the agreement.”
F/N immediately got out of the car and followed Kinich inside one of his old haunts.
A call from an unknown number quickly grabbed F/N's attention after Kinich vanished. On the other end, she could hear Xiao and Lumine chatting.
“Xiao, why aren't you calling your girlfriend?” Lumine asked. “Aren't you worried she might cheat on you?”
“Don't I know how old-fashioned she is?” Xiao snorted. “it's just something she said out of spite. She's probably already back in her dorm, asleep.”
Lumine giggled, “But seeing how calm you are, it doesn't seem like you care much about her.”
“It's not that I'm that into her.” Xiao answered after a brief silence and F/N angrily ended the call.
Just then, the cocktail F/N ordered arrived and she took a big gulp.
The waiter froze in panic, “Miss, that drink is the wrong one. That was a special mix our boss made from himself.” leaving his tray on the next table, he dashed upstairs in the direction Kinich had gone.
“F/N, how are you feeling?” Kinich leaned down close to her, his cool hand pressing against her cheek.
“So refreshing.” F/N mumbled, contentedly leaning into him and nuzzling closer.
Kinich bit back a sigh as he watched the drunken F/N jump off the barstool and stumble towards the exit, before catching her in his arms as she was about to fall over.
When F/N came to her senses, she found herself in a hotel room upstairs being held by Kinich who had stripped off his shirt and leaving him in a pair of gray drawstring sweatpants. He leaned lazily on the sofa, staring at her coldly. “Come here.”
F/N mutely shuffled over to him and Kinich rested his hands on her waist. He pressed the back of her head and took control; he pried F/N's mouth open for an open-mouth kiss.
Things between Kinich and F/N were heating up when F/N's phone rang at an inconvenient time.
Kinich glanced at the Caller ID and picked up the phone.
Xiao's voice came through, calm but urgent. “F/N, where are you right now? Your room-mate told me you didn't' return to your dorm. Who are you with?”
“Calling at this hour?” Kinich answered dismissively. “Are you planning to drop off some condoms for us?”
“More.” F/N moaned.
Kinich chuckled, “I'll give it to you later.”
Xiao was uncharacteristically agitated. “Kinich, you know how much I like F/N, yet you still touched her. You're no brother of mine.”
Kinich, still on speaker phone, tossed the phone aside and casually agreed with Xiao, “We're not anymore; not brothers anymore.”
F/N was getting annoyed by Xiao's blabbering and snatched her phone to end the call.
The next morning when F/N woke up, Kinich was already gone. She sat up in the bed, knowing what happened the previous night was only a one-time accident.
When F/N saw Xiao standing outside her dormitory, she wasn't surprised at all.
“F/N,” Xiao walked up to her, his tone softer than usual. “I've deleted all of Lumine's contact information and I'll keep my distance from her from now on. Let's just pretend what we said about breaking up yesterday never happened.”
After a pause, F/N asked, perplexed, “Aren't you bothered by what Kinich and I did last night?”
“Stop pretending, F/N.” Xiao flicked her forehead. “I already know nothing happened between you and Kinich last night. But you did trick me. I was frantically looking for you all night. So, we're even now.”
“I told you we were breaking up.” F/N pushed Xiao away. “Can you stop bothering me? Just stay away from me and go back to your dear Lumine.”
Kinich pulled F/N into an empty classroom during break and lifted her onto the desk. “Didn't see this coming,” he glared at her coldly. “You're quite the troublemaker. Who taught you that? Kiss and run without taking responsibility? You left without a word after spending the night. I didn't expect you to dislike me so much. To the point you wouldn't answer my calls and messages; just to distance yourself from me.”
At this point, F/N realized there was a misunderstanding. “I don't dislike you.” her voice softened. “I woke up and saw you weren't there, so I thought you left. My phone was off the entire time. I forgot to turn it back on. I didn't ignore you on purpose.”
Kinich then explained that he had gone out to buy F/N breakfast and had already sent a message on WeTalk, but she didn't see it because her phone was off. “So,” he smirked mischievously. “You'll take responsibility for me.”
F/N meekly nodded.
“I don' t want you to misunderstand and think I'm only doing this out of obligation.” Kinich continued. “Let me make it clear: I like you, since a long time ago.”
As finals approached, F/N was already stressed from cramming.
Focused on her notes under the large tree in the campus yard, she suddenly noticed a looming shadow on the pages of her notebook. She looked up and was met by Kinich's hand holding a plastic cup of cold coffee pressing on her cheek.
Xiao was also standing on F/N's other side, his face expressionless.
Kinich causally walked over, blocking Xiao's view.
Xiao stared at him and issued a final ultimatum “Kinich, this doesn't concern you. I'm talking to F/N. You two didn't leave the bar that night. You stayed there the whole time. You better not tell me you two did it in a private room at the bar. Wouldn't that be disgusting?”
F/N dusted herself off, stood up and stepped out from behind Kinich. “How did you know we went to the bar again? Xiao, were you following us?”
“Do I have that much time?” Xiao's smile grew colder. He pulled out the chat records from the small group within the club he was in charge off. As it turned out, one of the group members lived near that quiet bar and had seen Kinich's car while going home and posted it on the group chat. The next morning, seeing that the car hadn't moved and given the image Kinich had built over the last three years, they assumed Kinich and F/N had spent the night at the bar to fulfil the dare.
Xiao put away his phone, his gaze shifting between the two. “Kinich, if you really slept with my girlfriend, I'll make you regret it.”
“Xiao, stop this madness.” F/N stepped in. “I'll say it one last time: I broke up with you that night at the bar.”
Kinich moved in, taunting Xiao with a provocative smile. “It wasn't me who slept with her; it was her who slept with me. What right do you have to question me?” he snarled, pulling Xiao close by the collar. “If you hadn't done those despicable things, would she have left you?” with a heavy kick to Xiao's chest, Kinich looked down at the yellow-eyed man in disdain. “I'm really puzzled. What makes you so confident that no matter how badly you behave, she would never leave you?”
“He's so weak.” F/N scoffed, walking away with Kinich. “I must've been blind to have dated him.”
Ever since that night at the bar, Lumine had been walking around with a glowing smile, looking like someone deeply in love.
But one day, as Kinich and F/N were leaving campus, they ran into her and it was clear she had been crying.
“Kinich, are you and F/N together now?” Lumine sniffled.
“Is that any of your business?” Kinich asked in return.
“I just want to warn you.” Lumine forced a smile. “You might not even know what kind of person F/N is. Don't let her fool you.”
“So, you're the one who knows me best?” F/N fired back.
Lumine, furious and humiliated, growled, “F/N, shut up.”
“I actually do know you better than I know F/N.” Kinich cut Lumine off and looked at her thoughtfully. “Homewrecker? Third wheel? How would you like me to address you?”
Lumine's face flushed red and then pale, before storming off in anger.
A/N: My second Kinich post to entice him to come home. Darn that Dendro Ben 10 for still dodging me.

Gay for Clay
Okay, so I wrote this ages ago and apparently I completely forgot to post it. This cosy fic is inspired by the time my girlfriend and I went to an event called Gay for Clay organised by one of our local pride teams. It was a really fun evening and it just got me thinking about Link's relationship with pottery.
Anyway, I hope you guys like this short but sweet Ravioli fic. 💜🩷
"Come on Mr Hero, we'll be late!" Ravio announced cheerfully, as he entered the bedroom.
His hands laiden with a tray of breakfast for the two of them. Bowls of porridge with swirls of apple sauce. A pot of tea and a jug of apple juice for after. He'd even picked a bunch of daisies while waiting for the kettle to boil, and placed them in a small vase on the corner of the trey.
His fiance, or rather, the lump under the blanket Ravio knew to be his fiance, groaned.
"Don't be like that," Ravio admonished with a strained smile. "Come on, I made your favourite for breakfast. And I'm going to make pie for dinner tonight. You love my pies."
Ravio placed the tray down gently on the nightstand before sitting on the edge of the bed next to the lump.
"Mr Hero, don't make me make you get up!" Ravio warned, in what he hoped sounded like a serious tone.
From beneath the blankets Ravio heard the lump scoff a laugh.
"I'd like to see you try!" Came a muffled response.
A spark of mischief flared inside the Lorulian, and he dove sideways on top of the blankets. The man beneath him squealed and groaned at unwanted pressure in unpleasant places.
"... 'right, alright. G' off me Rav you loonatic!" Link moaned, waving about madly to release himself from his blanket prison. "I smell porridge and tea," he said blearily.
"Yes, you should eat it while it's still hot," Ravio remarked, picking up a bowl and spoon and shoving it towards his partner.
Link sat up a little straighter and accepted the bowl with a nod of thanks. The apple sauce was something Ravio made and had been a very welcome addition to Link's breakfasts. He swallowed several mouthfuls before he squinted at his partner.
"You're being extra nice this morning," Link said slowly, spoon half raised towards his lips.
"Am I?" Ravio replied, his eyes fixed on the teapot in his hands as he poured out a cup.
"Do you want something? Did you do something? Did Sheerow do something?"
Link listed off the usual questions. But he hesitated when Ravio didn't respond. Instead his lover just set about pouring another cup of tea. Link frowned.
"Did I do something?" He asked quietly.
"Oh Lorule No!" Ravio responded quickly, realising he'd made Link worry. "Sorry Bunny, you haven't done anything. Well, actually you have. But not to me, it's... Sorry I'm getting this all muddled up."
Link sat and stared at his fiancé, eyebrows raised as he watched the man struggle to string a sentence together. He found it funny that around strangers and customers Ravio could be the most smooth talking man you'd ever met. But face to face with his lover all alone, he could melt into a puddle of nonsense.
"Rav, what's going on? Why do I have to get up? Isn't the shop closed today?" Link asked, taking another spoon of porridge and reaching for his tea.
"Yes. So remember on your last adventure you found your way into the village pottery?"
"Ha, yeah, which time?" Link chuckled, savouring the tea and the memory.
He had no idea why, but Hylia, or perhaps it was fairies, decided to hide rupees and useful nick-nacks inside pots. It wasn't his fault that the most efficient way of extracting these items when one is in a hurry, is to simply smash them. Okay, maybe there were less destructive ways to open a pot. But hey, he was the hero of courage, not wisdom!
"Link," Ravio chided him.
Link knew he was in real trouble when Rav used that voice. They were in a very happy relationship. Complicated and strange, but happy. They hardly ever argued over anything other than Ravio's merchandise taking over the house. Never anything serious. But Ravio had just used his serious voice so Link snapped to attention.
"After the last incident the Potter complained to the princess. She decided to compensate the poor woman by decreeing that you had to help replace a portion of the pots you broke," Ravio reminded him, his voice softening.
"Oh. Yeah. I remember now. That's today?" Link replied begrudgingly.
"Yep!" Ravio was trying to stay upbeat, and not let Link spiral down into a bad mood.
"Urgh!" Link groaned.
So much for that hope.
***
Link decided not to wear his favorite red tunic and under-dress. Instead opting for one of his old green ones and a brown shirt. It meant he would have to wear trousers. But he'd rather that than ruin one of his nice skirts of dresses.
Ravio walked slightly ahead of Link as they made their way into town and meandered towards the Potters shop. Ravio waved at a few people as they passed by. It still felt a little strange for him to be out and about without his hood on. For Ravio, he often still felt like a stranger in Link's Hyrule. But after an episode where Ravio had collapsed due to heat stroke on one particularly hot day, his boyfriend had convinced him to leave the hood and scarf at home from then on.
Those who didn't know about their relationship often assumed they were brothers. Their near identical features often lead people to think they were twins. If not for their hair of course. But given that Link had changed his hair colour a few times, people didn't really think it odd that Ravio's was jet black.
As they neared the pottery the owner appeared at the door and caught sight of them. For a split second Link thought about turning and sprinting in the other direction. But when he saw the woman smiling and waving at them, he knew there was no point in trying to run. He'd have to do his duty and obey his sister's ruling. After all, he'd done that plenty of times with much more at stake than today.
"Good morning gentlemen," the potter greeted them.
She was a little younger than forty with dark brown, flyaway hair and eyes to match. A short woman with a warm smile. She wore a simple gray dress and a bright blue apron over the top.
"Morning Miss Rainna," Ravio smiled broadly. "Lovely day!"
"It is," she replied, trying to catch Link's eye.
Sheerow suddenly careened into her view and fluttered on to Rainna's shoulder.
"Oh, hello there little one. I didn't see you," she chuckled, giving Sheerow a little belly rub as he puffed out his chest. "Good morning to you too."
"Link, I'm glad to see you today. I was, perhaps a little worried you might not come," Rainna admitted, her gaze dropping to the ground.
"I'm sorry you thought so," Link replied. He brushed past Ravio to stand before the woman. His gaze was also downcast. "I'm also sorry for my behaviour. I have no excuse for destroying your property and, though I'm here at the behest of the Princess, I also wish to make amends. What is a hero if he cannot help the people he swears to protect?"
Ravio looked at his partner in silent amazement. It was at moments like this he thought Link really showed who he was born to be. Not the grouchy late riser who complained all the time because his adventures had worn him down. But the humble, loyal man who had fought for his homeland and it's people time and time again. The Link who was at heart, a good man.
"Thank you Link, and who knows, you might even enjoy yourself in my shop."
***
As Link sat at the strange machine in front of him, Ravio at a similar station to his left, Link eyed the pots and jugs around the room. The back room of Rainna's shop was her workshop, a room filled from floor to ceiling with shelves. Most of the shelves contained pots of varying sizes. But also plates, bowls, jugs and cups. Anything and everything that could be worked from clay could be found in Rainna's shop.
His heart raced at the thought of breaking open every single one of them to see what might be hiding inside.
"Right, I'll show you the basics," Rainna announced, settling herself at a station in front of the two boys. "Then perhaps you can help each other out after that?"
She began by forming a ball of fresh clay and throwing it onto the spinning disc in front of her. Link was surprised by the force with which she slapped it down into the center of the disc. As the wheel span and the ball of clay spun with it, Rainna used her hands to cup and shape the ball until it stretched out into a long thick-
Link blinked. A laugh caught in his throat. Beside him he could feel Ravio tense as they both watched the demonstration.
Rainna worked the long piece of stretched out clay back down into a ball, adding a splash of water from a nearby bucket to prevent it drying out. She pressed her thumbs into the ball and began to widen it out to form a hole in the center. Link swore he thought he heard Ravio whimper before he pressed his fist against his mouth, as though in deep focus. Link rolled his eyes. At least they were both thinking the same thing and he wasn't the only one with a dirty mind.
In what seemed like no time at all Rainna had formed a perfect pot with a narrow base which flared at the middle before narrowing again towards the opening at the top. She slid it carefully off of her wheel and carried it over to a shelf of similarly shaped pots waiting to be dried.
"And that's all there is to it," she sighed, as she turned back towards the two boys. "Any questions?"
Link and Ravio shook their heads in unison.
"Alright, I'll be around if you need help. I'll probably be in the shop or at the kiln out the back if you need me." Rainna assured them, before cleaning off her hands in the sink and disappearing back into the shop.
The workshop fell silent at Rainna's leaving. Link and Ravio turned to look at each other. At the sight of Ravio's smirk, Link couldn't hold it in any longer. A small chuckle quickly turned into a deep laugh. Link's joy was infectious and Ravio was soon laughing along with him.
"Do you think she realises?" Ravio hiccuped between fits of laughter.
"If she does, she can keep a straighter face than either of us Rav!" Link huffed, trying to rain in his amusement.
"Darling, neither of us has straight faces!" Ravio pointed out.
A moment of silence passed between them as his joke settled. But Legend was soon laughing again.
"You smug ass!" He chortled.
Ravio beamed as though to prove Legend's point. Then he let out a long sigh and turned to examine his pottery wheel.
"Well, it seems simple enough," Ravio said, looking over the sack of clay beside him.
"You know you don't have to be here Ravi, this is my punishment." Legend pointed out, as he scraped off a fistful of clay and began shaping it in his hands.
Luckily he'd taken off most of his rings for today. But he couldn't do without all of them. He'd just have to clean them thoroughly later.
"I know I didn't have to come too Bunny Butt, but I wanted to spend the day with you, and I thought this might actually be fun." Ravio said softly, focusing on copying what Rainna had shown them.
"That's actually pretty sweet of you Ravi. But call me Bunny Butt anywhere except our bedroom again and I'll turn you into a pot! Got it?!" Link warned, pointing his ball of clay in Ravio's direction.
"Got it!" Ravio replied, holding his hands up in mock surrender, causing Sheerow to hover above his shoulder before coming back down again.
***
Getting started was difficult. Ravio struggled to slap his clay into the middle of the wheel. Link kept having to shift it or throw the ball for him. Once that was done they both attempted to copy the movements Rainna had used to shape the ball into the long shape, then down again into a small centered ball.
Link wasn't usually a fan of textures that dried out his sensitive skin, but with plenty of water on his hands, he found working with the clay was quite satisfying. It was soft and slippery and caused his mind to wander back to more salacious thoughts. Link shook his head. Now was not the time or place.
He did his best to focus. Ignoring Ravio's one sided chatter with Sheerow. Link controlled the speed of the wheel with his foot pedal and worked at what he thought was a steady speed. He pulled out the sides of the pot and slowly shaped them into the bulb-like shape he was aiming for. After what seemed like hours, but was more like fifteen minutes, Link had something that looked a bit like Rainna's pot. It was a little lop-sided and the rim was probably a bit on the thin side. But for a very first try, Link thought he'd done pretty well.
As Link looked over at Ravio to see how he'd faired, he couldn't help but let out a bark of laughter. Ravio's arms and apron were covered in the wet slip from the clay. He had somehow reduced the amount of clay on his wheel and was struggling to keep it under control. Link watched in amusement while Ravio held onto the long wobbly object as it wiggled in his grip. His face focused in an expression of total concentration, with his tongue sticking out slightly. He looked ridiculous, and adorable.
Link stopped chuckling and just sat watching his struggling partner for a moment. Ravio had rolled up his sleeves, the water freely dripping off his elbows while he worked. The tip of his little pink tongue poking out between his lips, oh so invitingly. He was so, perfect in all of his little imperfections. Link sighed contentedly to himself, before awkwardly pushing himself to his feet without the use of his dirty hands.
Ravio looked up and slowed down his wheel as Link stood beside him.
"I know I'm making a mess of it, but..." Ravio began, but Link didn't let him finish.
Link bent down and pressed his lips to Ravio's. Ravio kissed back and closed his eyes, a soft moan sounding in his throat. As Link withdrew Ravio stayed head raised, eyes closed.
"Mmm, what was that for Bunny?"
"Because you're so darn cute. And I thought you might need cheering up," Link replied softly.
"Cheering up?" Ravio replied, opening his eyes and tilting his head in confusion.
"Yeah, because anyone who tries to make a pot and ends up with that!" Legend pointed to the floppy phallus on Ravio's potting wheel. "Would probably want to hide under a rock!"
Ravio chuckled, looking back down at his work, then glancing sideways at Link's.
"Yours looks brilliant! Are you sure you haven't done this before?" Ravio pouted.
"Never, but it's quite nice to work with actually. Perhaps after all these years of smashing pottery I learned something about how they're made?" He jested, tempted to clap his hand onto Ravio's shoulder.
"Hmm, I still say you're cheating somehow. No one's that good at doing something without practice," Ravio groaned, slumping a little in his seat.
"Well," Link said softly, as he bent down to whisper in Ravio's ear, "I was pretty good at doing you the first time!"
Ravio cleared his throat as a wave of pink flushed his face and ears. He kept his attention on his potting wheel however, and eventually Link followed his gaze.
"How about I help you fix that a bit?" He suggested, taking the teasing note out of his voice.
"I'm not sure it's salvageable," Ravio groaned.
"Well, I'm a sucker for a lost cause. Come on. You work the pedal and I'll try and shape it into something less offensive!" Link insisted.
In order to work together, Link ended up sitting on Ravio's lap, instructing the man beneath him on how fast to make the wheel spin. Link managed to wrangle Ravio's clay into a rounder shape and even sculpted it into a respectable looking bowl after a few minutes. However, there wasn't enough clay left to bring the sides up into a full pot. After Legend had finished off the rim of the bowl he asked Ravio to stop the wheel.
Carefully, Link slipped the bowl off the wheel and held it up for Ravio to see it better.
"Huh, it doesn't look half bad. It's not a pot but, considering how it started out!" Ravio exclaimed.
"It's like I keep telling you Ravi, sometimes you just have to take things slower and persist until you get something right," Link replied.
Link attempted to slowly dismount Ravio's lap while concentrating on not dropping their bowl. While Ravio remained as still as possible so he didn't knock Link over.
"You know," said Ravio, as he looked Link up and down for a moment. "I think that's the first thing we've ever made together."
"What d'you mean? We make things for each other all the time," Link replied with a small frown.
"Yes, for each other. We've never made anything with each other before. It feels kinda nice. Knowing we each had a hand in making something," Ravio explained, tilting his head as his eyes rested on their bowl.
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
***
After Rainna had been called back in to give Ravio some more guidance, Link and Ravio set about their work with a little more focus. At the end of a long messy day, Link had produced what Rainna said was a satisfactory amount of work. And that Ravio had contributed. She thanked Link for coming to her aid, but he waved her off, telling her that he was only happy to fix problems of his own making.
That night Ravio made pie for dinner as promised and found he was just as ravenous as Link usually was after a day in the orchards.
"That's what hard work gets you Ravi, an appetite!" Link probed, elbowing Ravio softly in the arm.
***
It wasn't until about a week later that either of them thought about their day in the potters workshop again. The postman dropped off a package with Ravio at their front door. Link looked up from the sink as he placed another cup on the draining board.
"What is it?" He asked, mildly curious. "Something for your shop?"
"No, it's addressed to both of us," Ravio replied, examining the label as he placed the box on the kitchen table.
Link quickly dried his hands and stepped over to Ravio's side.
"Well open it then," he encouraged.
Ravio grabbed some scissors and cut the strings binding the box. He opened the lid to find it packed with straw, just as some of his more delicate objects were usually packed. Together they dug through the little box, laying the straw on the table until they found a paper wrapped object inside. It wasn't heavy, but it had a significant weight to it as Link picked it up out of the box. As he began unwrapping the object, Ravio noticed a note beneath it in the box and read it out loud.
"It says, 'Dear Link and Ravio. I wanted to thank you again for your help in replacing some of my stock. You left this in my workshop so I had it glazed and fired and have sent it to you as a gift and a memento of your experience. I hope it reaches you in one piece. All the best Rainna.'"
Link finished unwrapping their gift and couldn't help but smile at the bowl in his hands. Rainna had chosen a forest green glaze for the outside and a vibrant royal purple for the inside. The rim itself was painted gold and on the bottom she had inscribed the letters L R.
"I love it," Ravio declared, carefully taking the bowl from Link to take a closer look.
"It's a bit gaudy!" Link replied, eyebrows raised.
"Have you seen the two of us in our favourite colours?!" Ravio rebuffed with a smirk.
"Touche!"
"I'll have to find a special place to put it. Perhaps in the bedroom, it's not likely to get knocked over there."
"You don't want to use it?" Link asked.
"No, I think it's too special for that," Ravio replied, looking up from the bowl at his boyfriend.
"It's just a bowl Ravi," Link pointed out.
"Yeah but we made it together. And that makes it special to me," Ravio insisted. "Come on, help me choose a place for it. I know you'll only move it if you don't like where I put it!"
"Hey, I only moved a few of your things when you moved in!" Link retorted, as he followed Ravio out of the kitchen.
"All of my things Bunny, you moved all of my things."

Raito Kitakata SR - Yam Seng!: As Long As We Have These
Part 1
📍HAMA House, Rabbit room
[Door knocking]
Raito: Yukikaze. Are you ready to go? It seems it’s about time for us to get to the airport.
Yukikaze: Yeah, I’m all set…
Yukikaze: But are you sure this luggage will be enough for you? It looks more like you’re making a trip to the convenience store.
Raito: Yeah. I’m more of the local procurement type, so the bare minimum is fine with me. You also don’t seem to be carrying much, Yukikaze.
Yukikaze: I’m not going on a tour this time, after all. When I removed the things I need for skating, I ended up with only a single small carry case.
Raito: Is that so? What exactly do you take with you on a skating tour?
Yukikaze: Let’s see… My skate shoes and practice clothes, obviously. A tablet, some earphones, and also supplements and a tissue box as a good luck charm.
Raito: Are you talking about the tissue box you’ve got over there? The case has a rather peculiar picture on it… What kind of character is that?
Yukikaze: I have no idea. But Kaede gave it to me as a gift. Isn’t it cute?
Raito: I see, so it’s a kind of good luck charm. It makes sense that Chief would pick this.
Raito: Still, that’s quite a lot of earphones to carry around. Are they necessary for your skating routine?
Yukikaze: Yeah. Using them in everyday life is pretty different from practice, so I try all sorts of types to make sure they won’t break in the ice rink or come off while I perform.
Raito: I see… Is there one you’d recommend?
Yukikaze: For now, these SEMY ones. They have a wide range of sound, they don’t fall off easily and have great noise cancellation.
Raito: Ohh…
Yukikaze: I’ve been trying a variety of imported products lately. Even though they’re all marketed as sports-oriented, there are many different types, and it’s quite complex.
Raito: I see. It seems like a world that has no end once you get started in it.
[Running]
Kaede: H-Hold on! Why haven’t you two left yet!?
Kaede: You’ve got less than 2 hours until boarding time, you know!? You should get going while you still have time!
Yukikaze: Oh. Is it time already?
Raito: We’re both lightly packed and can travel around easily. I’m sure we can still get there on time.
Yukikaze: Alright, we’re going.
Raito: We’ll get you a souvenir.
Kaede: Have fun!
Part 2
📍 Tokyo Metropolis International Airport, Lobby
Raito: We arrived just in time. Wouldn’t you say we’ve got enough time till take off?
Yukikaze: Yeah. I’m glad Kaede called us out when he did. If we kept lingering, we might’ve been late.
Yukikaze: By the way, Raito, what did you bring with you? You said the bare minimum is fine for you.
Raito: What I have on me is this.
[Raito takes out his wallet]
Yukikaze: A wallet with a black card and… perfume.
Raito: As long as I have these two things with me, I could even go on a trip to space.
Yukikaze: Heh… I think I get it. Personally, so long as I have this, I'll be invincible no matter the trip.
Raito: This is… a mini soy sauce bottle! And it once again has a peculiar character drawn on it!
Yukikaze: Yeah. I’m using this bottle that the Chief gave me in place of a charm. I can take a whiff of it when I’m missing Japan, or pour it over local food.
Raito: I see. This is a good pick. I’m certain smelling soy sauce while overseas would be relaxing.
Yukikaze: It is.
[Announcement jingle]
Yukikaze: Hm, our flight is being called. Let’s hurry over to check-in.
Raito: Right… Oh, hm?
Yukikaze: What’s wrong?
Raito: I was careless. It seems I’ve forgotten my passport…
Yukikaze: That’s not good. We don’t have time to go back and get it.
Raito: We’re in a pickle.
[Drone wheeling over]
Drone: Kitakata Raito, Kitakata Raito.
Raito: Hm? Is this… Nayuki’s drone?
Yukikaze: It’s trying to give you something.
Drone: You forgot this, you forgot this.
Raito: My passport! Good, I can board the plane now. I’ll have to thank Nayuki later.
Yukikaze: (I think Raito should add his little brother to his travel essentials…)
Raito: Sorry for all the fuss, let’s get going now.
Yukikaze: Yeah. I hope we get to enjoy Singapore.
Raito: Yes, I’ve got high expectations for it, too.
Yukikaze: (I can’t wait to see… Just what kind of journey awaits us.)
NOTES:
(1) The card's title, Yam Seng! is Hokkien for ganbei/干杯/乾杯/kanpai, and translates to 'drink to victory'. It's pretty much a congratulatory cheer said before drinking
