why is v13.5 actually so insane. i'm up to terajuma now and the way every single map and like 90% of scenes are overhauled is making me lose it.
the only problem i'd have is i don't like new flashbacks in cutscenes but that is SO MINOR compared to how this version does like. EVERYTHING better??? a lot of things already got prettied up in v13 (goldenleaf is the same as v13 i think for example + the whole blacksteeple arc) but
god. man. the new sidequests introducing plot relevant characters much earlier so the world feels more cohesive and alive. the added silly character interactions so i actually care about the terajuman crew now. the additional lore. new pokemon. the everything
v13.5 is everything ok!!
IF YOU WANNA PLAY REJUV. NOW'S THE TIME TO DO IT

“Johnson was there in her office.”
“What?!” Yelena shot back.
“She had flowers with her.” Natasha added not sure if she should say it now that she knows how Yelena will overreact.
“What?!” Yelena exclaimed again as she palmed her forehead, “What are they talking about? Did you hear?” she added in a rush. “No, she asked her to leave when I came in.”
“That's good, that's good.” Yelena said, trying to calm herself or gaslight herself rather.
Natasha posed a question that left Yelena stunned, “Do
do you think Y/N still has feelings for her?”
“She told me she's over it and I’m making sure that it really is.”
Natasha just nodded slowly pulling the sleeves of her pink shirt up to her shoulders innocently, “I’ll go get some water.”
“Sure, sure,” Yelena tried to hide the devilishly smile naturally forming in her face but as soon as Natasha walked away, she aggressively tapped Madisynn’s thigh.
“Aw!” Madisynn swatted Yelena's hand away.
“Do you know what's on my mind right now?” Yelena asked the girl who was dumbly tilting her head at her. But Yelena gave her a knowing look that made the girl’s head light like a bulb.
“Oh, I think I do know what's on your mind,” she said as she looked at your figure walking towards them. “Hi boss!” She greeted in a squeal.
You looked at the two confusingly not liking the evil faces they're making right now. “Okay, enough of that look. Stop grinning at me, you both look like a pervert.”
“Foul!”
“You're so mean!”
“Where's
Agent Romanoff?” You asked ignoring their whines and you wished it came off casually. But the two agents only grinned once again at your question, you immediately caught their reactions and you crossed your arms at them waiting for an answer.
“There she is!” Madisynn pointed behind you, her nails never failing to flex.
You immediately turn to see Natasha, her shirt sleeves rolled up to her shoulders and her biceps were godly
you thought to yourself. If only you knew the two agents caught you checking Natasha out.
“We haven't done anything yet but it's working already.” Madisynn whispered to the blonde.
“I know, I know. This is gonna be so much fun.”
⧗
The team-building event got off to a great start. All the agents were thoroughly enjoying themselves as they played various games together. Shouting, clapping, laughing here and there, it was a sight to see and it was a fun experience. Could you imagine that these agents were trained to save the world but right now they're trying to balance plastic cups on their heads? It was the only time when the entire agency came together to unwind and have some fun and be free with themselves while simultaneously strengthening their bonds with each other.
Many teams had already been eliminated, but thankfully, yours was still in the running for the game. You heard Yelena taking charge and leading your team as if they were on a real mission, you couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles.
“Okay you idiots, balloon bust, the instruction is very easy we’ve done this last last year guys. We just have to keep the balloon up on our stomach, no dropping, no popping. Be gentle with the balloon,” she relayed, as if it was a serious mission. “It’s our baby!” she clapped between each word.
The team just nodded eagerly cheering themselves as they went to grab their own balloons. You hyped your team up by giving them thumbs up and a lot of claps.
Your gaze shifted towards Natasha and you observed how she seemed a little lost throughout the game. Yet, she hadn't lost her endearing smile the entire time. She has been asking Yelena over and over on how she's supposed to play in each game, on how she is going to contribute to win and Yelena has been nothing but patient towards her, guiding her and giving her tasks on what to do.
The thought hit you then, it is her first time experiencing something like this. Her entire life she was used to working alone. You knew her past, of course you do. You know how she hadn't had the luxury of playing with dolls, teddy bears, and make-up like you had. Instead, she had spent her childhood toying with real guns, learning to crack codes on computers, and mastering the art of physical combat that if she fails every time—she’ll end up tied up in a cell or eat no food for days.
She was too young for that, she was supposed to be protected—no kid deserves that.
As you stared at Natasha, a pang of pain gripped your heart. You watched as she laughed when she saw Yelena huffing in frustration after her balloon popped. Your entire team had given up, and all of them just ended up bursting into laughter, lying on the ground.
Your team ran back at you, waiting for the next game. Natasha was still giggling her life out, shaking Yelena's shoulder.
“Hey Romanoff, water?” she was the first one you offered water.
When she looked stunned and didn't respond, you chuckled faintly, which seemed to make her even more surprised.
“C'mon, take it before I take it back,” you urged and Natasha quickly snatched the bottle from your hand. As you handed out the water to the rest of your team, you couldn't help but notice the adorable blush spreading across her cheeks.
You watched Natasha as she gulped down the entire water in the bottle in one go. You were fixated on her neck, watching the way her throat moved with each gulp. She had chugged it down so quickly, like it was just a matter of three quick swallows. The sight of her holding onto the empty bottle, squeezing it tightly, was doing strange things to you. As you continued to observe Natasha, a warmth crept up your face.
“Hey, boss, we need you for the next game.” Yelena informed behind you, pulling you out of your trance.
“Me?” You turned to look at her as you pointed to yourself as if you weren't just checking out the redhead.
“Yeah, it's three-legged race. We're only five,” she shrugged innocently but in the back of her head she’s plotting something.
“You're my partner,” you immediately told her.
“Nuh uh, Nat’s your partner. You're almost the same height though she's taller than you. Madisynn and I have the same height so
” Before you could even protest further, Yelena tightly grasped your wrist and forcefully dragged you towards Natasha. As you approach her, you catch sight of her lifting her shirt to wipe some sweat from her forehead, revealing a glimpse of her well-toned abs.
You had seen all her muscular frame in all its glory for today.
“Where's your ribbon Nat?” Yelena asked. As Natasha hesitantly handed it to Yelena, Yelena pushed you down, causing you to yelp. Before you realized what was happening, Natasha was also pushed down and you found yourselves side by side. The blonde then knelt down in front of both you and Natasha, preparing to bind your legs together.
Yelena smirked mischievously as she observed the scene in front of her, her task completed, “Perfect!” she exclaimed before walking back in front of your team’s line. You and Natasha were left stunned, your bodies pressed close together.
“Are you okay?” She asked quietly, tugging her sleeves down, embarrassed at how sweaty she was, “You're tight?” Realizing how she worded the question Natasha immediately palmed her face looking the other way, “I mean no-not t-tight for you?”
You didn't miss the curse that came after that.
“I’m fine, you?” you replied, not bothering the silly, nasty, cute mistake and tried to sound authoritative. She just gave you a thumbs up and put both her arms on her knees.
An awkward silence hung in the air after your brief exchange, until the shrill sound of a whistle pierced through, signaling the start of the race.
Darcy, the designated emcee for the day, called out, her voice echoing through the area, “Are the teams ready for the race?” A twinkle danced in her eyes as she added, “Did you know that they say 80% of the paired players for this game usually end up together?”
Yelena leaned over to Madisynn and muttered, a mischievous smile on her face, “Darcy definitely knows the assignment.” Madisynn smirked in agreement, seemingly in on the unspoken plan they had in mind and nodded.
However, you and Natasha missed the playful comment because you were too focused on planning your strategy for the race.
“Coordination, Natasha okay?” You reiterated and she agreed, her cheeks turning a slight shade of red. Natasha felt a different kind of warmth as you spoke to her with a gentle tone, different from your usual cold and robotic tone. And the way you called her by her first name sent a flutter through her heart.
Daisy stood at a distance, her eyes locked on you and Natasha as you talked. She clenched her fist tightly, not liking how close you were to the red head.
A shrill whistle pierced the air once again, signaling the start of the race and a chorus of cheers and shouts echoed loudly as the first pair sprinted off, kicking up dust and sand behind them.
Sensing a bit of struggle on Natasha's part, you offered, “You can hold onto my shoulder if that'll make it easier for you.”
Natasha nodded appreciatively, her left arm about to reach for your shoulders when she surprised you by gently taking your right arm instead. She positioned it around her back, creating a more intimate position as you both clung to each other for support. The unexpected action caused you to blush and you found yourself pulled closer to her as Yelena and Madisynn handed you the flag, signaling your turn to start.
As you began the race, the mood was lighthearted, filled with laughter and giggles. You started off good, however, just as things seemed to be going well, you suddenly tripped and lost your balance, causing you to stumble forward. But Natasha was quick to hold you back, grabbing you by the waist, preventing you from falling forward. In the process, your hands inadvertently landed on her abdomen, seeking support.
“That was really stupid,” you manage to say between giggles.
“You're fine, we’re close c’mon,” Natasha encouraged sheepishly, her response catching you off guard as it was the first time she had talked to you again this entire game.
“Left, right, left
”
You and Natasha continued with the race, Yelena and your team eagerly watched and cheered from the sidelines, supporting you every step of the way. They shouted encouragement and teasing comments.
“I am going to tie you both for life!” Yelena exclaimed.
“Fall for Nat, boss! She’ll catch you!”
“Don't get too tangled up now!”
As you dashed towards the finish line, an unexpected trip caused you to falter—again. Natasha's quick reflexes kicked in once again. Her hand moved swiftly to support your head, preventing it from hitting the surface with a thud. She acted instinctively, shielding you from further harm. With a soft thump, you found yourself on the ground and Natasha was now on top of you. Her right hand holding the back of your head, her body hovering over yours.
Natasha's gaze remained fixed on you as you burst into a fit of laughter, lying on the floor. She couldn't help but marvel at the sight before her, no cold voice just your laughter filling the air. No hint of seriousness on your face, your unguarded expression and carefree attitude were delightful to behold.
As you continued to lie on the ground, laughing uncontrollably, you didn't notice Daisy appearing and giving Natasha a push from the sides. This unexpected shove caused Natasha to stumble and fall beside you, landing rather clumsily on the ground.
“Get away from her.”
“Fuck off, Daisy,” Yelena snapped coldly as she shoved Daisy away, Madisynn immediately knelt in front of you and Natasha to untie the ribbon.
Daisy was already back in her team’s position when you got up, her team trying to soothe her. Natasha saw you looking at Daisy’s direction as if you were checking on her—on your ex-fiance.
“Y/N
I’m sor—”
“I’m sorry about that Romanoff, are you okay?” you turned to her and touched her arm which made the redhead shudder.
Back with the last name basis now?
“I-I’m fine boss.” She stuttered, stunned at your apology. She scratched the back of her neck as she looked away but looking away wouldn't hide the redness of her face.
“Piece of advice, please don't interact with her,” you gave her a half smile tapping her arm twice before shouting to your team.
“Get up! Get up!”
⧗
The sudden news hit you like a flash. One of your agents had accepted a sparring challenge from a senior of another division. It is one of the activities your team-building events often took as a competitive edge.
You realized from the start that you had forgotten to remind your team not to participate. But it was a well-established rule that shouldn't need to be constantly reiterated, the sparring challenges were typically reserved for the more seasoned members, the oldies of the agency—the seniors and Natasha isn't one.
“Fucking hell.” You hissed, striding towards the area where the sparring match was taking place, “Romanoff is really testing my patience.”
How come that you were really soft with the agent earlier and now? You're back being a meanie to her?
Yelena tried to defend her partner, her voice a squeak. “She didn't know!” she protested. “She's only been here a few months. She's clueless and her senior isn't even making things easy on her.”
You were seething with anger as you heard Yelena's words. You halted in your tracks and turned around, your gaze locking onto the blonde, who suddenly looked like a frightened child under your intense stare. You fought to regulate your breathing, trying to maintain your composure. Deep down, you knew that Yelena had a point. Her words were stinging because they held a measure of truth. Yet, your ego couldn't help but bristle at the audacity of her calling you out like that.
The sound of raucous cheering jolted you back to reality, you pushed the door swinging open with a harsh creak, you felt a sudden wave of attention directed your way. Numerous agents turned their heads in your direction. It was obvious that your arrival had caused a ripple of interest amongst the crowd. Well, let's just say that the opponent that your agent is fighting is none other than your ex-fiance.
“Fucking hell.” You muttered to yourself as you balled your fists.
You hate her for being so naive
but god, she is now positioned in the ring and greeted you with an innocent wave. The protective mouthguard showed as she tried to smile. How are you supposed to hate that?
Despite your anger towards her naivety you managed to wave back but she wasn't able to see it as your ex-fiance landed a punch on her face, you involuntarily flinched and placed a palm on your forehead. Well, that was awkward.
“Get her Romanoff!” Yelena shouted from behind, you swear you heard her betting $20 for Natasha.
“She was supposed to take you out,” Daisy growled at the redhead, her boxing gloves poised to deliver another punch anytime.
Natasha furrowed her brows together but she didn't mind what Daisy was trying to say. Natasha seized an opening and threw a punch on her sides, catching Daisy off guard and regaining the upper hand in the fight. The impact sent Daisy stumbling back a few steps, momentarily stunned by the unexpected offensive move. But then a smirk creeped out on her face.
“You're supposed to be history by now if it wasn't by Barton.” Daisy's words, though meant to rile Natasha up, seemed to be taking effect now. “If it was Y/N, you’d be dead by now.”
Natasha's breath hitched at the revelation and Daisy saw the horror that flashed into the redhead's eye. Natasha clenched her jaw and squeezed her eyes shut.
Rule number 1: Never take your eye away from your opponent.
Another wave of cheers and shouting from the crowds surrounded the boxing ring as Natasha seized another opportunity, throwing another punch this time connecting with Daisy's cheek. It seemed as if Daisy was deliberately allowing Natasha to land blows, letting her get a few hits in. No, letting her hit her.
You stood there, frozen. You are really not liking this.
You saw Daisy's lips moving, clearly as if she was saying something to Natasha. While you also noticed how the redhead’s body tensed up and you saw her focus seemed to be shaken a little.
“Dreykov’s daughter?” You whispered to yourself as you read the words coming out of Daisy's lips. The redhead tried to throw another punch but Daisy was able to dodge it sending back a punch to Natasha's stomach.
“I won't let Y/N be with a killer like you.”
The words made Natasha’s emotions reach a breaking point, as if something snapped inside her she immediately moved forward encircling her arm around Daisy's neck locking in a tight grip. She then swung her other fist at Daisy, her boxing glove landing a powerful punch on her face as she kept her arm locked around her. The impact sent Daisy kneeling while Natasha stood behind her not letting her go, causing gasps and murmurs from the surrounding crowd.
The referee blew his whistle with a sharp, shrill sound, which echoed through the ring. He then extended his arm and pointed directly at Natasha, who had staggered backward losing her hold on Daisy.
Daisy recovered from the forceful blows, she rose unsteadily to her feet, her left eye was swollen and there was a cut on her lips. She let out a guttural snarl and stalked Natasha who was crawling backwards, Daisy leaned down to her and yelled, “Are you tryna kill me, too? Huh?!”
“You fucking kill—”
“Watch your next words Johnson!” You yelled as you ran and jumped towards the ring.
“Y/N she went out with the rules! She
she almost—” Daisy stopped when she saw you kneel in front of Natasha.
“I’m sorry,” Natasha immediately whispered. You furrowed your brows at her.
“Romanoff
”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry
” her voice became hoarse as she repeatedly whispered. As she continued to apologize, you stared into her eyes, noticing a look in them that revealed something deeper than mere regret. It was as though a hidden trigger had been set off within her.
“Romanoff
” you called out to her again.
“I’m sorry, Y/N
I—” she choked.
“Nat,” you called softly as you brought your hands on her cheeks. Her lips trembled as she finally looked at you, “You're okay,” you gave her a smile and she nodded slowly as if she was high with the sound of your gentle voice and your soft feathery touch.
As if she was an evil and you were an angel attempting to soothe her troubled soul.
“Yelena,” you summoned the blonde over. You removed the gloves on her hands and Natasha's gaze remained fixed on your every move, her eyes never straying as if she feared losing this connection between you—it was the closest she's been with you. Her breath hitched when you moved away to give Yelena a way to help Natasha stand. Yelena knelt in front of her and propped her up with a supportive arm around her shoulder.
You watched as Natasha and Yelena slowly moved out of the ring and away from the center of attention.
You ex-fiance, who stood surrounded by her team members from her division, remained surprisingly calm. She has been watching how you treated Natasha and she didn't like it—she wanted to tear you away from her.
You stepped up closer to her, your voice low and filled with venom as you spat out, “You know she was a new recruit and you still challenged her.”
“Oh Y/N we all know she's more than just a recruit.”
You huffed at her words, you couldn't hold the outrage any longer and you hissed back, “You think I didn't notice? You triggered my agent!” Your voice trembled in anger. “Dreykov's daughter? Really? You would bring that up? How did you even know about that?” You started eyeing each of her team who were looking down to try and avoid your gaze. You know damn well that they know something about it. You huffed on how pathetic they looked.
Natasha's information was kept under you since she was your mission back then. No one could access this information unless they possessed the same level of clearance and security clearance as you did as a level 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Dreykov's daughter was the collateral damage to end Dreykov himself, to end the empire he built that brought horrors to the lives of young little girls. It was the last thing Natasha did before getting into the S.H.I.E.L.D. with the help of Clint.
You turned your gaze back to Daisy who is now looking down too. “Daisy
” you squeezed your eyes shut, “I forgave you for what you did to us,” you gulped as you tried to hold your tears at bay, you couldn't even utter the words that would bring up the memory of her betrayal. That she cheated.
The silence that had fallen over the entire room was almost deafening and you could feel the weight of everyone’s gaze bearing down to the both of you. You’ve had so much attention today already.
“Please stop going out of your way for this. Stop embarrassing yourself, you look desperate.” With that, you immediately stepped out the ring leaving her, she tried to go after you but her team immediately held her back.
⧗
After reading the text from Yelena, you can't believe it - they're still planning on going to the after-party after what just went down. You can feel the frustration rising inside you, almost boiling over as you read the message again.
“Please, Y/N join us, we’re all here with Natasha. She’s okay now but she's got bruised lippie though.”
“If you're scared that earthquake’s gonna be here, no she's not, so please join us here boss.”
Yelena then sent a video after she noticed that all her messages were just marked as seen by you. It's your team whining in the background, begging you to come to the party, but your gaze was fixated on Natasha's face on the screen. She waved shyly, her bruised lips forming a tight-lipped smile, the sight just making you sigh disappointingly before getting out of your car.
As you made your way into the party, you were relieved to find that most eyes were averted from you. You had been expecting a similar scene as the one earlier when you confronted your ex-fiance, but it seemed that the focus was on other things now. Maybe they're tired of the drama you had with her.
You spotted your team at a table near the bar, a few drinks already in front of them. They looked up as you approached, welcoming you with broad grins.
Yelena was the first one to greet you with a sly smile, acting as if nothing had happened earlier. “Well, look who decided to show up,” she said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. “Here, let me help you with that.”
Before you could protest, Yelena had taken your purse and was leading you to a seat at their table. She pulled out the chair for you, gesturing for you to sit down.
Madisynn who was next to you, slurred slightly, a sure sign that alcohol had definitely gotten into her system already. She stumbled over to you, her eyes lighting up as she turned and saw you. Her gaze lingered on you for a second before realizing it's you, her voice was slightly slurred as she exclaimed, “Boss! I'm so happy to see you. You look hella sexy in that dress! Right, Romanoff?!”
Natasha, who had been quiet until now, spoke up timidly. “Yeah, you look
” she trailed off, careful on what to say, you really looked sexy right now. The way that your black dress hugged your body and highlighted your curves, but she didn't want to sound perverted
“Beautiful,” she continued, her voice barely above a whisper.
Yelena leaned in closely, her lips hovering mere centimeters from your ear. She looked at Natasha before whispering, loud enough for the redhead to hear, “I think you look delicious right now, Y/N.”
She then playfully nipped at your earlobe with her teeth, a sly smirk on her face. The brief contact sent a shiver down your spine. Yelena was never one to hold her tongue, she didn't have a filter and often spoke her mind without thinking.
You however, decided to play along with Yelena's antics, you faced her with a coy smile. Your faces were now mere inches apart, and you could see a hint of redness creeping up on Yelena's cheeks.
For a moment, it seemed like she was taken aback by your boldness, but then she regained her composure. Still, she couldn't help but back down slightly, her gaze lingering on your face before quickly looking away. You smirked as Yelena visibly backed down, her confidence faltering for a moment. Deciding to tease her further, you leaned in even closer and said, “What's wrong, Yelena? I thought I looked delicious.”
Natasha watched the exchange between you and Yelena, her eyes narrowing slightly. She hadn't realized just how close you were with Yelena, and it made her shift a little awkwardly in her seat.
A pang of jealousy flared up within her, but she quickly pushed it down. It was none of her business who you chose to be close to even if it's with her closest friend, and besides she had no right to feel possessive over you. Not when you hate her.
Not when you were supposed to be the one to take her out.
Still, the sight of Yelena being so flirtatious with you made her feel a little bothered. She found herself coughing involuntarily. It was an unexpected reaction, and she quickly tried to cover it up with a sip of her drink.
Yelena caught sight of Natasha and a sly grin spread across her face. She exchanged a glance with Madisynn in a brief second enough for you and Natasha not to notice.
“You okay, Romanoff?” The blonde asked, as she wrapped her hands on your waist, you on the other hand leaned to the blonde—not aware of the antics that she and Madisynn planned.
You were comfortable with Yelena's closeness, having known her for a long time and having shared many experiences together. She was like a strict baby sister, the type of sister that would ask you who you were with and what time you would be back. And If anyone hurt you, she wouldn't hesitate for a second to go after them. Her protective nature went into overdrive, and she would hunt down whoever had caused you pain. She cares for you and she would go far to keep you safe.
She had been there for you during tough times, like when Fury had to call her to make you come out to your childhood bedroom after your ex-fiance cheated on you or when she had to clean your room after she finally get you out to eat at the dinner table with your father. She had seen you smile because of your ex but she saw you cry more about her. Tough and good times, she had been there—always.
You yourself look out for her too—she can be careless at times so you gently correct her when she crosses the line or make sure she doesn't get into too much trouble. But at the same time, you also relied on her quirky sense of humor and unwavering support. She was part protector, part best friend, and part sibling all rolled into one.
“Let's play medusa y’all!” An agent shouted in the distance and it made you laugh.
“What are we? In college?” You huffed after, only to be dragged by Yelena.
“We’re joining!” Your eyes widened in disbelief and attempted to pull away from her grip, wanting nothing to do with this childish game. But just as you were about to tear yourself away, Madisynn suddenly latched onto your other arm, effectively trapping you. You were too confused when you noticed that Yelena was gone and Madisynn replacing her as if it was all planned.
“This will be fun boss, c’mon.” She slurred with a drink on her other hand.
You forgot to breathe as you saw Daisy across the room, conflicting emotions bubbled up within you, how in the hell she's here and you didn't even know?
Part of you wanted to run away from the room to escape the memories of her betrayal. But another part of you, driven by your desire to maintain your composure and dignity, compelled you to stay and keep things professional after what she did to you and to your agent.
But
a small, a sly part of you, tucked away in a hidden corner of your mind, whispered a tempting thought.
What if I make her jealous?
The idea was a little petty and you knew it, but you couldn't help the flicker of satisfaction it brought you. The chance to show Daisy that you were doing just fine without her, perhaps even better, was tantalizing.
But with who?
As various agents approached you with smiles, greetings or drinks, a wave of realization washed over you. Deep down, you knew this whole thing was ridiculous. Trying to find someone to make out with solely to make your ex jealous was a far cry from the person you aspired to be.
You shook your head slightly, silently scolding yourself for even contemplating such a childish idea. This whole situation was just plain stupid, however, despite the logical part of your brain telling you it was a stupid, a small, defiant part of you still wanted to go through with it.
If only you had known, but you were oblivious to the fact that Daisy had been burning with jealousy since the moment she spotted you with Natasha during the game.
Darcy, with her usual enthusiasm, called out to the group of agents gathered around you, “Alright, everybody! Form a circle, it's time to start!” She then saw you and let out a squeal, “Hi boss!”
You waved shyly before you settled down on the cold floor of the room with Madisynn beside you, “Where's Romanoff?” You asked, “and Yelena
” You rushed out. Madisynn then gestured with her drink, drawing your attention to the direction she was pointing. There, across from you, sat the redhead and the blonde.
Yelena had made sure that you and Natasha were seated directly across from each other, perfectly setting up the game of Medusa to play out exactly how she had planned.
“Alright, everybody!” Darcy shouted, getting the group's attention. “Everyone sit in a spot where you can see all of the other players.”
Once the group had taken their seats, she continued, “Now, each of you put your heads down. On the count of three, you'll raise your heads and stare directly at someone else. If you lock eyes with someone, both of you lose, and I will yell 'Medusa' if I caught y’all staring at each others’ asses and I will be sending you to 7 Minutes in Heaven!”
The agents began shouting and whistling, creating a chaotic atmosphere, hyped up from the game.
With a flourish of her hand, Darcy counted down, “Three, two, one.”
Everyone raised their heads, and you were suddenly faced with a sea of staring eyes. You quickly darted your eyes to an agent who was luckily not staring at you. The room buzzed with tension as people nervously tried to avoid locking gazes with the other players. Darcy stood in the center, ready to call out the first pair of victims. Her eyes scanning the group, spotted a pair that had locked eyes with each other. A sly grin spread across her face as she called out, “Medusa!”
The two unfortunate players were singled out and a chorus of “ooo” and whistles erupted from those around them. They sheepishly got up, blushing as they made their way toward the 7 Minutes in Heaven.
As the players shuffled off to the 7 Minutes in Heaven room, the game continued. It was only a matter of time before another pair would be called out for staring. You found yourself becoming more nervous as the round progressed.
Darcy's eyes glinted mischievously as she scanned the group once more, eagerly awaiting her next opportunity to pounce on a paired set of victims.
You were contemplating your strategy. And thought of Natasha, part of you knew that Natasha was averse to staring, always quick to look away—especially on you. But this might work to your advantage.
As the countdown ended, you found yourself staring at Natasha. She, as expected, was not looking at you. However, your heart raced when you noticed her eyes on someone else in the group. You furrowed your brows, trying to follow her line of sight to see who she's staring at.
Who was she looking at? Is she eyeing someone else? Oh, how you hoped that whoever she's staring at isn't looking back at her too.
You finally let yourself breathe, a wave of relief washing over you as Darcy called out “Medusa,” pointing at the pair who had been caught staring at each other. Thankful that it wasn't Natasha and whoever she's staring at, you felt a weight lift from your shoulders.
As Natasha navigated her way through the game, a plan formed in her mind. She glanced over at you, contemplating the likelihood of making eye contact with you. Her thoughts ran through her head, reasoning that you wouldn't look at her because you harbored a deep dislike for her—who would lock eyes on someone they hate, after all?
Natasha glanced around the room full of agents, her gaze falling upon Daisy, who was watching you as giggles escaped your lips at whatever Madisynn was whispering to you. The sight of your ex continuously eyeing you only made Natasha wish that you wouldn't look at your her the same way again as you did when you were still together.
She wished that you would look at her—this time.
“3”
“2”
“1”
You find yourself staring at the green orbs staring right back at you and the world seemed to stopped only for it to continue when Darcy shouted Medusa, her fingers pointed decisively at you and Natasha.
A collective gasp filled the room as everyone realized what had just taken place. Darcy's gleeful expression revealed her satisfaction at having caused this unexpected twist. Madisynn and Yelena traded smug grins, thrilled to see their plan unfolding flawlessly. They had orchestrated this moment carefully and their plans had paid off.
As word spread about your unexpected pairing with Natasha, your ex, Daisy, couldn't help but glance your way. She tried to hide her fueling rage, but her emotions were laid bare in her eyes. A lot of agents were looking her way too, satisfied at her reaction and silently rooting for Natasha.
Madisynn placed a gentle hand on your shoulders, helping you stand up from being seated on the floor. Your mind was still reeling from the sudden turn of events, unable to fully grasp what was happening. As you looked at the small cabinet not so far away from of you, the realization of who you would be sharing such a confined space with finally sank in.
“Times ticking boss.” Darcy whispered as she gently held your hands and pulled you. Meanwhile, Natasha was being ushered ahead by Yelena. Yelena then pushed Natasha gently into the small chamber, causing her to stumble forward slightly as she made her way into the cramped space. The room was dimly lit, its walls closed, not enough to leave little room to maneuver.
Natasha looked up as you stood just outside the small chamber. She saw how hesitant you are and she spoke up softly, “If you don't want this, you don't have to.” Her voice was gentle, giving you the option to back out of the situation if you so desired.
But you didn't listen to her, you immediately climbed into the small room and found yourself sitting beside the redhead. Before you had a chance to process the tight space, the door closed with a distinct click, sealing you inside with her.
Darcy's voice echoed from the other side of the door, she knocked, reminding that your time starts now, “Alright, lovebirds, 6:59 minutes. Enjoy your time there!” Her amusement was evident, and her words were followed by a series of giggles and shouts heard in the distance.
As Natasha hugged her knees and said, “We don't need to do anything,” she did so with a sense of finality, as if speaking aloud the thoughts that were already in your head. She already assumed you wouldn't want to do anything in this tiny-spaced room.
You haven't really scolded her for accepting the challenge from your ex and for going in here when she's supposed to be resting, you wanted to, though, but seeing her right now at this moment, you just couldn't bring yourself to.
You broke the silence, your words reverberating in the small chamber. “We can talk,” you suggested softly—too softly, your fingertips grazing the ceiling inches above your head. You asked once again, “Do you want to talk about something?”
Natasha sat silently, her eyes locked on the door as if she just wanted all this to be over, and for a moment, she didn't respond to your question. The quietness in the tiny space seemed to stretch on and her lack of response left you unsure of how to continue—so you just stayed silent too.
A couple of minutes have passed and you two just sat there. The silence between you was heavy, almost unbearably so, until Natasha finally spoke.
“Do you think you would make the same decision as Clint,” she started, her voice soft yet steady, “if you were the one sent to take me out?”
You were taken aback by Natasha's question, her words piercing through any facade you may have tried to maintain. How did she know about it? Panic and anger surged through you as you thought of the only person who could have told her the about it—intentionally told her. But you quickly pushed that thought aside, realizing it was a moot point now. The dilemma of how to respond to her question left you momentarily tongue-tied.
Would you? You asked yourself.
“I
” you trailed off, “I don't know.”
You took a deep breath, your voice low and steady as you finally admitted the truth. “Everything happens for a reason, Romanoff,” you began, your words measured, you’ve never been like this when you were talking to her. You’ve always been so honest, no, harsh when it comes to her, “It was originally my mission to take you out.”
“But Clint was the one sent with the same mission, you.” You sighed disappointingly as you recall the memory.
“I was upset, bitterly disappointed, angry.” You looked down at your thighs plopping sideways, “I immersed myself in studying you, devoting significant time understanding your every move, training myself on how to
” you stopped realizing what the next words would be, but Natasha knew what it was you’ve been trying to say.
You’ve been training yourself on how to eliminate her—to kill her.
There was a silence between the two of you again, not heavy this time, you leaned back against the cold wall and squeezed your eyes shut for a moment before opening them again.
“He made a different call for a reason.”
Natasha looked at you intently as you spoke again, “He saw something in you. And I think I do see that now.” You finally looked at her.
As you locked gazes, your eyes involuntarily fixated on her bruised lips, and you were certain that she was doing the same. However, the intensity of the moment became too palpable and you found yourself awkwardly turning your eyes away from her in an attempt to alleviate the growing tension.
“Boss, are you still alive in there?” You heard Darcy call out, how dare she ask if you were the one still alive? If there is someone supposed to be out of breath right now, it would be the redhead beside you. “You still got 2 minutes
and 32!”
“I wonder what other agents did in this room.” You suddenly spoke, but you didn't mean it to come out as if you were trying to hint to do the same thing you know agents did in this tight room which is releasing some sexual frustrations. “Gross.” You then whispered that made the redhead laugh.
“Yeah, I think they really need that.” She replied in a low voice, trying not to burst into more giggles.
“Wow, aren't you sexually frustrated too Agent Romanoff?” Maybe now you are hinting something.
Her voice echoed through the small space as she quipped, “I don't wanna get another punch from your ex.”
“You wouldn't catch a punch for me? Agent Romanoff?” you teased, your seductive tone adding an extra layer to the already charged atmosphere between you two.
Only if you know the things she would do and take for you.
“Trying to make your ex jealous?”
“Hm?” you eyed her before focusing with the necklace around your neck, fiddling with it absentmindedly as you avoided the redhead’s accusation when suddenly, her hands reached out and pinched your waist.
The action caught you off guard and an unintentional gasp escaped your lips. At that moment, Yelena's voice echoed through the door, as she whisper-shout, “What was that?!”
“What was that for?!” You quickly slapped Natasha's arm in retaliation, causing her to exaggerate a groan of pain that was heard outside.
“Oh god, it's happening. Shit! Shit!” Yelena exclaimed, apparently unable to contain her excitement. A chorus of shouts and whistles erupted from the agents gathered just outside the door, their reactions evident even through the thick boundary.
The situation was too absurd to not find amusing and you struggled to contain your laughter. Your hand shot up to cover your mouth, attempting to hide the impending giggles and shock at the chaos happening outside. You looked over at Natasha, you found her wearing a smirk. She then gestured for you to tap on the walls and you followed her lead, making a moaning sound as you did.
“Oh god!” you exclaimed, feigning a sense of ecstasy, playing into the moment and the reactions you knew you were eliciting from the agents outside.
“Oh god?!” Yelena and Madisynn shouted in chorus, “Praise the Lord!”
As you continued your act, Natasha suddenly spoke, her voice low and seductive. “Oh yeah?” she purred, “Mhm, yeah. That's my good girl,” she murmured, the praise and the nickname making you feel and think inappropriate things right now. 
Is this even appropriate?
Both you and Natasha released synchronized grunts and moans, intentionally creating the illusion of some... passionate act.
As your performance continued, you could hear Yelena's voice rise above the others, “Romanoff, if you hurt Y/N, I swear I'll chop you into tiny pieces!” Yelena threatened. “42 sex-onds!” she reminded in a rush.
“Get on my lap,” you hadn't even realized what you were doing until you found yourself sitting sideways on Natasha's lap, your tight dress not allowing you to straddle her but you still complied with her commanding order. The space between you grew even tighter, the proximity leaving you heady and breathless.
Natasha then shifted her thighs beneath you causing you squeal in surprise. 
“Sorry,” she whispered, but you just nodded, your face a burning kettle. Outside the door, the agents’ voices grew louder, their excitement evident as they reacted to the sounds you and Natasha were making.
“They were rushing it out!”
“Give them more time! C'mon!”
“I hope at least one of them could finish.”
You brought your hand on your mouth to contain your laughter once again. You blushed at the comment of the agents, the other was holding Natasha’s shoulder so you can steady yourself.
“18 seconds!”
The countdown and the outside world faded into the background as you bit your lip, your breath coming in short, shallow gasps. Overwhelmed by the moment and the intensity of your emotions, you leaned in and surged forward, your lips crashing onto hers, bruising them further in a desperate and passionate kiss.
As your lips melded together, Natasha's hands instinctively found their way to your waist, gripping it firmly, grounding you both. Pulling away, you locked eyes with Natasha, the gravity of the moment finally sinking in. Your heart hammered against your ribcage as you notice her lip, slightly bloodied with traces of your lipstick smeared across it. 
“I can't believe I just wasted those minutes in silence when I can have this with you,” she confessed.
And with that, the door of the small room you were in swung open, signaling that your 7 Minutes of Heaven is finally over.

𝜗𝜚 ... CHOUKA AIKAWA AND A PINK CARPET ... MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN !
Tumblr media
After her massive debut this year, of course everyone's favorite Barbie had to pull up to FicFest! So, how was Chouka's experience at the event of the year?
Tumblr media
SHE'S FASHION'S FAVORITE B*TCH ... !
Tumblr media
Of course, Chouka had to wear pink on a pink carpet. This is Chouka we're talking about. Being the industry's resident fashion expert and girly girl, she stunned in three archive pieces in one night. Her pink carpet look was Jean Louis Scherrer S/S 1988, gloves and all. Her presentation look was Guy Laroche S/S 1991, and her after-party look was Versace F/W 1991. Despite being a Dior ambassador, Chouka refuses to chain herself to the brand. We love that for her!
Seven years in the game and still, no one knows how Chouka manages to source her looks, but she's Chouka Aikawa. It's self-explanatory at this point.
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ! ... Jean Louis Scherrer S/S '88, Guy Laroche S/S '91, Versace F/W '91
Bringing Chouka's look together was her ever impeccable hair and makeup, the makeup of which was done by Chouka herself. She was praised for days by the press and netizens alike, with many comparing her to a princess and, of course, a Barbie. High fashion Twitter couldn't get enough of her, but what's new?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BUT WHAT ABOUT HER PERFORMANCE ... !
Tumblr media
Gagged me. Gagged you. Gagged your mother. Gagged your mother's second cousin. Gagged your dog. Chouka gagged everyone with this performance, girl!
Now, what she performed wasn't a new song by any means. "Silk 'N Diamonds" was already on Sincerely. However, it was unfortunately regulated to a deep cut and rarely performed live, and damn, weren't Rosettes mad! So, when Chouka decided to finally give everyone what they'd been waiting for at FicFest, her fans couldn't have been happier.
Everything from the stage design, to her costume, to her hair (she was wearing a tiara, by the way!) was praised to hell and back, because of course it was. But, you'll have to watch it yourself! Which you can see...
HERE ... !
Tumblr media
HER BEST MOMENTS ... !
001. A CHAT WITH CLÉO! (@hausofanya)
One of the interviewers on FicFest's pink carpet was Stray Kids' Cléo Torell, whom Chouka definitely had to chat with! From the three things she couldn't live without (hint: it's definitely her closet) to the fact that she couldn't shut up about her newlywedded husband Jason (justified, honestly), it was quite the interesting interview. You can read all of it here!
002. CUTEST COUPLE AT FICFEST!
Oh my God, Jason and Chouka were the cutest thing ever that night. From giggling and publicly flirting during a joint interview to Jason being the first one to give his wife a standing ovation, they said to hell with netizens and were as lovey-dovey as possible. But the best part? Jason pulling Chouka into both a kiss and a hug after her performance. Needless to say, Rosettes in the crowd went batshit. Get yourself a man like Jason Day-Fujiwara, y'all.
003. "YES, I LIKED THE PERFORMANCES. NO, I DON'T HATE ANYONE."
Chouka is known for her resting bitch face, as seen with all the shots of her in the front rows of Parisian fashion shows. And of course, her RBF was on full display during FicFest. But, that doesn't mean she hated being there! However, there were some people (read: Twitter users) that... didn't like how she looked during some of their faves' performances. It got to the point where after the ceremony, an interviewer asked Chouka if she liked the performances from her fellow idols. Her response? "Yes, I liked the performances. No, I don't hate anyone."
Chouka had to tack on a couple more words, of course, saying, "Well, I do strongly dislike some people, but I don't need to name names right now. Regardless, cool it with the misogyny."
An icon as always.
004. TWO PRETTY GIRLS PRESENTING!
Chouka had the pleasure of presenting "Most Visually Pleasing Lineup" during the ceremony, alongside the second gen visual herself, Park Ah-reum of DI-VERSE (famously known as Ahri). The duo to end all duos, the fact that they were paired together was a hot topic all down the timeline. On Chouka's end, everything about her while on that stage was a talking point. From the fact that she changed her dress to her professional attitude to even her voice (her accent is always a favorite), Chouka Aikawa was definitely one of FicFest's "It" girls. But, that's not surprising in the slightest.
Tumblr media
THE AFTER-PARTY ... !
Following the ceremony, Chouka invited everyone she knew to her very pink penthouse apartment in Hannam the Hill for Chouka's Very Pink Afterparty! Complete with rosé champagne and other pink cocktails, hors d'oeuvres in various shades of, well... pink, and even a photobooth (in, you guessed it, pink), this afterparty is one of the hottest on the block! Like a cross between a high-end cocktail party and the cutest tea party ever, it's all you'll ever talk about!
Chouka would say "girls only," but unfortunately for her, everyone's welcome.
DO YOU đŸ«”đŸœ WANT TO ATTEND THE PINKEST AFTERPARTY ON THE PLANET? WELL, SIMPLY SEND A DM TO THIS ACCOUNT & AN INVITE WILL BE ON YOUR WAY ... ! 𝜗𝜚

Knight Commander Salvadore’s opinions about his companions
Tag game: Give your KC’s first impression and final opinion of each of their companions! Thank you so much for the tag, @spyridonya ❀ Careful, the final impressions include spoilers. Tagging: @iwoszareba @shiawasekai @amatres @thesolemnhour @outeremissary @offsidekineticist I have no idea who already got tagged and guess wildly. ~
First impressions of Salvadore
Seelah – What a tiring acquaintance. Her morality comes with all the depth of the headnote in a children’s book. At least, her sense of honor speaks in her favor. She is capable with her sword and knows how to follow orders. Camellia – Suspicious, put-on, trying too hard. She would not survive a day in the high society of Absalom but find herself torn apart. Either her status is a role, or Mendev’s aristocracy more pitiful than I feared. Wenduag – Do not stare at those legs. Deep breath, stay composed. Her approach is intelligent, strategical even, her values, on the other hand, entirely misguided. She chose a dark path to reach the desperate lifeboat she confuses with strength. Nonetheless, I see potential in her. Potential worth saving? If she means her words and follows the lead of the strongest, I may succeed at giving her a new perspective and a true chance to put her abilities to use. Lann – A man who finds so little worth in his own existence and yet attempts to run forward without a moment of thought makes for an unworthy leader of his kind. Disregard. Woljif – Is he still talking? His words are a senseless flood of irrelevance. Well, he has his amusing moments, I assume. I will have to watch him to contain his embarrassing habit of taking what is not his. For the time being, he should be of use and make for an efficient tool. I assume he won’t stay for long, he is not a soldier, and I won’t hold him captive by any means. Ember – Heavens, what was done to her? There is a deep wisdom in her words and views. And yet she utters them with all the disarming innocence of the child she is. I will protect her and make sure no harm will befall her again. Daeran – Being in charge always comes with heavy duties. He refuses them all. And while he leads the life of a mindless rake, his lack of political ambition makes it, well, acceptable. And yet, there is more to him. He fights with skillful, elegant efficiency, not afraid face to face with the demons invading his house. There is an air of freedom around him, his shining eyes are impressively observant, his mind as sharp as his provoking tongue. I admit, I am intrigued. He will be mine. If only for a night. He will be mine. Nenio – This epitome of ignorance calls herself a scientist? - A claim as ridiculous as her pathetic questions. Galfrey – The failures of the last crusades weigh heavy on her. Once radiant ruler, I can see the cracks, the tiredness of the woman underneath the mythos I heard all those praises about. She presents herself as surprisingly approachable. In her weakened position, that might prove a mistake. I wonder what her next steps will entail. Sosiel – I recognized a kindred spirit in him and I assume the feeling must be mutual. Last night, we sat and talked about art, about craftmanship, and wine, and beauty. It caused a bittersweet ache in me. I’m too far from Absalom, and something tells me Sosiel suffers a similar kind of yearning for a place he had to part from and yet stays with him, always. Once this war is over, I hope to visit his vineyards. Regill – A stern leader, attentive, sharp-minded, knowledgeable, experienced, efficient. Is he trying to challenge me? He will lose this battle, should he attempt to. Nonetheless, I’m impressed and interested in a solid partnership. My idea of the Hellknights might need adjustment. Arueshalae – A demon with a conscience, choosing her own path? I have to stay cautious, and yet 
 Her determination moves me. Can it be true? Can even a succubus re-invent herself to step past her pre-destined chains and limitation? If so, it proves everything I believe in. Show it to me, Arueshalae, don’t disappoint me now.
Greybor – His company is pleasant. An intelligent man with a rational mind. Furthermore, a useful weapon. I appreciate his codex and harbor no doubt that our arrangement will prove advantageous to both of us. Trevor – He endured down here, all this time. Impressive. I will reunite him with his brother as soon as I found a way out. Ulbrig – [I played Salvadore’s playthrough before the shifter was added and will come back to write his impressions about him once I finished his second playthrough.] ~
Final Impressions of Salvadore
[Heavy spoilers for the ending of the game]
Seelah – Her self-doubt and inconsequence are a danger for herself and those around her and her choice of ‘friends’ speaks of a concerning lack of insight. Nonetheless, I wish her well and hope her travels will help her move past those shortcomings. Camellia – Would there have been another way? I cannot say that I understand her motivation, her drive, but we travelled and fought together and a part of me wonders if a different approach could have led to a less violent outcome. She forced my hand into attack and paid the price for her crimes, but too much stays in the dark. Lann – Still as bland as the last time. Wenduag – She must have realized the mistake she was making before the battle even started. How, after all this time, could she misjudge that badly? In the end she threw it all away, the position of power offered to her in my army, her developments, her own potential. It pains me. Not her betrayal but my own failure. Where did I go wrong in my attempt of showing her a better way? Woljif – You hid him well, the man you are. – Well enough you needed some time to find him yourself. I’m looking forward to our upcoming projects and adventurous nights you and my husband drag me to. In all you are, in all you became and always were: I am honored to call you my friend. Ember – I recognized your strength from the moment we met. I would like to claim I guided you, but it was all inside of you from the start and my advice merely a final drop to reach your full potential. Listening to your last speech left me impressed and proud. My heart is heavy thinking of your silent departure. Continue on, little bird, go and change the world. Should you ever need it, I will be your haven to return to. Daeran – Light of my life, center of my world, to see you free from all those chains is the greatest achievement, the strongest of pleasures, worth any sacrifice and nothing fulfills me more. I adore everything you are, your light and your darkness, your strength and your weakness, your vulnerable tenderness and each of your sharp edges. You are my goal and my reason, my home and my journey. I love you. Nenio – I grew weirdly fond of her. Why I felt happiness about her return is beyond me. But I’m willing to admit that I’m excited for the final version of her encyclopedia. Galfrey – It should not have ended like this. Our swelling battle for influence, my rise to power to threaten yours, you knew it, you were well aware. You sent me to the Abyss and marched to Iz, it was your decision, not mine, your miscalculation, your defeat, your duty as their leader to hold out until I saved our people, until I preserved the knowledge needed for the goal we shared. The risk you took, the duty to hold out, it is the price of rulership. Then why can I not get rid of the voice whispering in my mind? Telling me that I hoped you would fail and die, your throne free for the taking, that your death would pave the way for me. Mendev in the palm of my hand. We both failed, Galfrey, we both failed that day. But I will carry on, I will wear this crown and leave our faults behind, to shape a nation of light. Sosiel – I feel this certain distance between us since my rejection. It seems to stand between us and I find myself unable to overcome it. Maybe it just needs more time. I look forward to visiting him and his brother and sincerely hope he’ll find the peace of mind he deserves and a life filled with kindness and beauty. Regill – My trusted advisor and second in command, my friend I turn to whenever I wish for advice, wiser than me, with your unconditional, selfless devotion to our goals: You are not dismissed. I need you at my side. Trevor – He is strong and even with the horrors lingering deep within, he will make a life worth living, I am certain. Arueshalae – She succeeded. It proves that we all decide our own path and who we want to be, independently from so-called ‘destiny’, no matter where we stand. I will visit her soon, and urge her to overcome her solitude just enough to make the connections she craves.
Greybor – He is on his way home, to the place he is needed at. I support his decision. Maybe we will meet again one day. Ulbrig – [I played Salvadore’s playthrough before the shifter was added and will come back to write his impressions about him once I finished his second playthrough.]

Short Reflection: Spring 2024 Anime
I feel like 2024 is shaping up to be an unusual year for anime. Most mainstream shonen and isekai are staggering into audience fatigue of some kind or another, two-cours series are making a massive comeback, and big waves are being made from eclectic shows like Apothecary Diaries and Girls Band Cry that would likely be relegated to cult classic status in years prior. There haven't been many clear standouts yet, but there's a lot of fascinating second-tier stuff bubbling just under the surface. It feels like the general anime audience has grown so big at this point that the way we consume shows and the kinds of shows that break through are evolving before our eyes. Never mind movies like Look Back and The Colors Within waiting in the wings to redefine our notions of what animated cinema can be. All this is to say, I don't know what we'll make of 2024 when all is said and done, but it's gonna be a very interesting story. For now, though, let's take stock of spring's roster of shows to pick out the best, the worst, and the worth checking out. Not counting the shows I've already talked about (Hibike Euphonium's final season 9.5/10 and Demon Slayer's training arc 4/10) or MHA's latest foray, which I'm still waiting to see exactly how it shakes out.
Dead Dead Demons' Dededede Destruction: Please Watch/10
Tumblr media
I'm putting this one right up front because while it's still very early into airing, there's a good chance a lot of you don't even know it exists. Released initially as a pair of movies earlier this year, this adaptation of Oyasumi Punpun author Inio Asano's bizarre bildungsroman alien invasion manga has been retooled into an 18-episode TV series with (apparently) lots of additional footage to fill out everything the movies had to cut for time. Those production circumstances alone would be interesting enough to merit checking it out (fingers crossed Haikyuu can get the same treatment?), but more importantly, this show is just really damn good, and it deserves better than being dropped on Crunchyroll with almost no fanfare and incomplete English subs that don't translate most of the written text. As someone who kind of loved and hated Punpun in equal measure, Dededede feels like all of Asano's best instincts on full display, a riveting exploration of how modern humanity is forced to struggle through "normal" life in the shadow of the apocalypse, asking how we can still set our sights on our futures when there's a very good chance that future might never come. It's messy and difficult, and yet it brims with love for people and our ability to seek kindness and compassion even in the darkest times. Just do yourself a favor and skip the awful "episode 0" prologue; not only is it leagues worse than the rest of the show, it spoils so many details about the story's endgame that it might just ruin the experience outright if you're not careful. You've been warned.
Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Part 2: 1.5/10
Tumblr media
Is the second part of Mushoku Tensei season 2 as apocalyptically awful as the first part? Not quite, no. But that's only because Rudeus doesn't do anything quite as jaw-dropping as buying a child slave or kidnapping and molesting a pair of catgirls with no consequences. I know, the bar is in fucking hell and this garbage fire still barely managed to stumble over it. Otherwise, it remains every bit as vile as always. Here's a fun drinking game you can play: take a shot every time someone this season 1) makes excuses to justify why Rudeus shouldn't feel bad about doing something awful, 2) praises Rudeus to high heaven and calls him the most specialest boy ever, 3) falls head over heels for Rudeus in a matter of seconds. You'll likely pass out before you're halfway through the season, but on the plus side that means you won't have to watch any fucking more. I simply remain baffled that so many people have been fooled into thinking this show is something meaningful and smart, how many people ignore its glaringly obvious awfulness to pretend it's saying things it's not actually saying and exploring ideas it's not actually exploring. All I can do is wait impatiently for Re:Zero's return later this year so it can smack everyone senseless with a reminder of what challenging, subversive isekai storytelling actually looks like. Maybe then we'll finally be able to recognize this steaming pile of misogyny and rape culture for what it is and cast it out without a second thought. We can only hope.
Urusei Yatsura Season 2 (2nd Half): 4.5/10
Tumblr media
I think I've given Urusei Yatsura a fair shake. I've done my best to enjoy it through its weaker moments and painfully obvious crows' feet. But now that it's finally over, all I can think is maybe it was better off left in the past. There are infinitely better screwball comedies that have come since, comedies that have been building off the tropes Urusei Yatsura established and finding much more interesting, meaningful things to do with them. This may be a foundational rom-com text, but fifty goddamn years later all its best qualities have been improved upon to the point of obsolescence, and all that's really left is the gross, dated stuff and the fact that every time it tries to be sincere and sentimental it runs into the unavoidable problem that all the romantic relationships its built on really kind of suck. Sorry, but Ataru and Lum are an awful couple and all the worst parts of this show are when it unironically tries to make you root for them despite them being pretty blatantly terrible for each other. I'll stick with Inuyasha, thank you very much.
Wind Breaker: 5/10
Tumblr media
Man, why does every promising modern delinquent anime end up driving itself into a ditch before long? First Tokyo Revengers, then Bucchigiri, and now Wind Breaker has completed the trifecta. And this one had so much potential! Casting a shoujo-style blushy tsundere bad boy as the protagonist of an otherwise straightforward tough-guy action brawler is one of the most inspired strokes of genius I've seen in a long time (let alone getting the Kyo Sohma's VA to voice him). What better way to explore the emotional human side of delinquent storytelling than with a main character who's arc is all about accepting other people and learning to love himself despite the world's rejection of him? That plus a slick production full of badass fistfights should've been an easy recipe for success. Unfortunately, it falls victim to the most common of shonen death knells: getting stuck in an overlong, dragged-out arc that consists of nothing but uninteresting fights against half-baked antagonists that loses sight of what made this series unique until its final moments. And double minus points for entirely taking place in a single visually dull location that you're forced to stare at for like 5 episodes straight with occasional flashbacks as your only escape. Seriously, you could cut the Shishitoren arc to half its current length and lose very little of value. I can only hope the upcoming second season won't get similarly bogged down, cause a good version of this show is something I desperately want to believe is possible.
Konosuba Season 3: 5.5/10
Tumblr media
So here's the good news first: Despite a seven year gap since the second season and a change in studio, Konosuba's third season is still every bit the same show it was. As for the bad news... well, the bad news is that Konosuba's third season is still every bit the same show it was. Yeah, in the years since I first watched it, I've had to really reckon with all the ways this show fucking sucks, and all of those reasons remain on full display undimmed by the passage of time. It's sexist, it's objectifying, it's violently queerphobic, it thinks sexual assault is the funniest thing ever when Kazuma's the one doing it, it's every bit as misogynistic and masturbatory as the isekai genre it's supposedly satirizing. And it's also still one of the funniest goddamn anime ever made when it wants to be. Seriously, if you just strip away all the godawful incel-pandering that's seemingly endemic to modern isekai, Konosuba's god-tier expression work and pitch-black sarcasm are a blast of laughing gas like nothing else in its vicinity. If it could just focus on telling actual jokes instead of passing off alt-right sexual politics as "comedy" half the time, it would more than deserve its status as a modern classic. But it won't, because it genuinely believes all that garbage is the funniest shit ever. Which is why it'll forever be stuck as a show that you can never admit to enjoying in public without being justifiably judged by everyone around you.
Train to the End of the World: 5.5/10
Tumblr media
It's kind of impossible to describe what Train to the End of the World is about without sounding like you're flipping through ten different plot summaries and choosing words at random. But here's as best I can: a freak accident causes the world to morph into a surreal patchwork of bizarre locales, while also seemingly reducing the scope of the world to a single train line in Japan stretching between rural town Agano and Tokyo's metropolitan Ikebukuro district. When Agano high-schooler Shizuru finds evidence that her long-lost friend Yoka might be trapped in Ikebukuro- and also maybe related to the reason everything went insane- she hops on an abandoned train car with a few friends and a dog and starts the long, long journey to reach Ikebukuro through the madness and chaos that defines the new world. The best I can explain it is Gullliver's Travels by way of Alice in Wonderland and Salvador Dali, each episode taking us to another stop on the train line that's morphed into its own flavor of batshit crazy, from mushroom people to horny zombies to a post-canon bad end magical girl world. Unfortunately, any semblance of a point feels buried under a thousand tons of calcified absurdism too thick for anything resembling sincerity to peek through. There are attempts at exploring deeper themes or character moments, but the show's pace is so blisteringly fast and so deeply uninterested with anything beyond what wild ideas it can pull out of its hat that nothing really sticks by the time the train's rolling on to its next destination. If there's anything here beyond a series of wacky Moments(tm) delivered with the rushed breathlessness of a Youtube video on 2X speed, I can't say it made an impression.
Tonari no Youkai-san: 5.5/10
Tumblr media
I'm of two minds about Tonari no Yokuai-san. On the one hand, it's a deeply heartfelt iyashikei that uses its fantasy elements to explore grief, loss, love, community, and the reasons we celebrate life even knowing it must one day end. This town of humans and spirits living side-by-side feels so real and warm you wish you could live there yourself, and the characters populating it, from earnest nekomata to old gay cars to prickly fox spirits and everyone in between, burst with inner life so naturally it almost makes you jealous. On the other hand, for some baffling reason, this show keeps trying to shoehorn in action plots and sci-fi elements that gel with the quiet, contemplative tone as well as oil and water. I genuinely don't understand why the author thought they needed time-space bureaus and giant rampaging snakes to liven things up when just the main character going through an existential crisis about how they're going to outlive everyone they love is ten thousand times more gripping than any of that other nonsense. On the bright side, the good stuff is still really good, and considering how few of you likely watched this show already, let this be your reminder this your reminder not to let it slip through the cracks.
Go Go Loser Ranger: 6/10
Tumblr media
Is the idea of a dark, edgy twist on tokusatsu where the protagonist is a nameless minion trying to overthrow a fascist cabal of sentai rangers that unique? Not really, no. But god damn if Go Go Loser Ranger doesn't make it work regardless. There's something just inherently fun about watching one of those nameless background mooks that normally exist just to get punted en masse decide "You know what? I'm done being the world's punching bag. I'm gonna become the protagonist of my own story and take these fuckers down." We've all rooted for the underdog at some point, after all. It's only fair the most disposable fodder get a chance in the spotlight. And Go Go Loser Ranger delights in twisting that setup as far as it can get away with, constantly making you second-guess your allegiances to any one side as it quickly becomes clear there are no true heroes to root for in this world, just lots of different people flawed in very different ways, all fighting for their own personal gain. You're never quite sure when someone you're rooting for is going to break your trust with some horrific act, or someone you loathe is going to prove themselves more courageous than they first let on, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see when the next shoe's going to fall. Sadly, it also suffers from Wind Breaker's mistake of spending too much time on an overlong arc that's mostly just dull characters fighting in a duller location, but by the end it's shaken off those doldrums and returned to form in a big way. As long as the second season can keep those gears turning, we're in for a good time.
Spice and Wolf Reboot (1st Cours): 6/10
Tumblr media
Let's be blunt: there is no point to remaking Spice and Wolf. The original series is still just as good fifteen years later, and despite the source material continuing past the point it ended, it reached such a beautiful conclusion on its own terms that it more than cemented its status as a true eternal anime classic. Sure, it's nice to experience this story again, to re-aquaint myself with Holo and Lawrence's wonderful chemistry and the fascinating ins and outs of Medieval economics that drive their story. There's a reason I fell in love with this show so many years ago, and Reboot Wolf still has plenty of that charm to go around. But this isn't a re-imagining or a Brotherhood/Froobs 2019 style "proper" adaptation. This is just the same show again but a little bit worse in every way. All I can think of, watching this story I know play out again, is how much stiffer and generic the modern art direction and animation is, how it plays things so much safer with its source material while the original wasn't afraid to make strong changes, how Holo's prickly personality has been neutered into a much more docile, Lawrence-dependent character while the original stood so strong on her own two feet. Maybe it works well enough if this is your first taste of Spice and Wolf, but then, the original show is right there! You could just watch that instead and get a much better experience all around!
Yuru Camp Season 3: 6.5/10
Tumblr media
Speaking of shows that are probably pointless, was there really any need for Yuru Camp to continue after the one-two satisfying punch of season 2 and the epilogue movie? Those endings put such a beautiful bow on the series that anything else would feel superfluous. Especially with such a massive downgrade in the art direction department, Jesus Christ. I don't know who's running studio 8bit's compositing department these days, but between this and the latest Yama no Susume season, it's so painful to see a studio that once excelled at background art reduced to putting filters over photographs and awkwardly slapping ill-fitting moeblob characters on top. The clash between the characters and the backgrounds this season is legitimately painful at times, and for a vibes-based iyashikei like Yuru Camp, that could so easily be a death knell. Thank the gods, then, that most of this series' charm still comes through in spite of itself, the wonderful characters and delightfully daffy comedy still as strong as ever as it extols the virtues of finding your peace in the great outdoors. But if we're going to get any more, then please figure out how to make this new aesthetic not so physically repellent to look at.
Kaiju No. 8: 7/10
Tumblr media
I've said many times that the art of making a Good Enough show is more complicated than most people appreciate. It takes so much skill and talent, so much mastery of the basic building blocks of storytelling, to create something that's just fun to watch plain and simple. And Kaiju No. 8 is yet another example of how impressive it is when one of these shows gets it right. It's a simple, straightforward action show about an over-the-hill sanitation worker getting one last chance to live his dream as a member of the elite kaiju-slaying force that keeps the world safe from the towering monsters that menace it... by accidentally becoming part kaiju himself. The characters are simple but lovable, the emotional stakes are earnest without being overbearing, the action is consistently exciting and well-animated, and the story keeps you on your toes with well-worn tropes executed in novel and exciting ways. I honestly don't think I've seen a shonen action romp so perfectly nail its fundamentals like this since the early days of My Hero Academia. Whether or not this show will also rise to MHA's eventual level of complexity and thematic weight remains to be seen, but for now, it's just plain fun, and an easy recommendation to anyone looking for a good time.
Delicious in Dungeon (2nd Cours): 7.5/10
Tumblr media
Well, I asked for Dungeon Meshi to get darker, and by god, that's exactly what it did. Through shocking plot turns and deeply disquieting thematic touches, this silly little fantasy cooking comedy has developed into something much more sinister and unsettling... while still being primarily a silly fantasy comedy about cooking D&D monsters into mouthwatering meals. I'm still not sure if the tonal whiplash entirely works, but my god does it make this a fascinating show to watch. A single episode can take you from some of the most gut-busting deadpan snark this side of Gintama to a skin-crawling contemplation on mortality and consuming life to perpetuate your own without missing a beat. Turns out, Dungeon Meshi has thoughts on the nature of food as a biological, societal and cultural force, and how that force is not always as simple or benign as a meal shared with friends and family. And it explores those ideas with a quiet dread that makes even its silliest moments feel like a tentative breath before things come crashing down. I have no idea how things will shake out in the second season, but if manga fans are to be believed, it's only going to get more twisted and insane from here. I cannot fucking wait. Just, can Falin stay on screen for more than a single episode without being kidnapped again this time? Girl's such a damsel in distress even Princess Peach is giving her concerned looks.
Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: 7.5/10
Tumblr media
There is no feeling quite like being a young artist. You're excited to make your mark, painfully anxious about not measuring up while simultaneously being quite full of yourself, bursting with ideas and not quite sure how to execute them, but above all else, in love with the act of creation. And I don't think I've ever seen an anime that so perfectly embodies that messy, beautiful spirit as Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night. Four girls from different artistic backgrounds- an artist, a singer, a musician, and a tech wiz- come together as one to give each other the strength they lack on their own, forming the musical group JELEE as they strive to love themselves and their work through the magic they make together. It's an explosion of passion and joy, often times outstripping its ability to measure up to its ambitions and stumbling over itself, but always shining, always dazzling, always wearing its heart firmly on its sleeve as it celebrates the joy of creation in the digital age and the importance of sincerity in a world too afraid of cringe to accept it. It's also a wonderfully capital-P Progressive series; there's a gay kiss, one character is eventually revealed to be nonbinary in a scene so spectacular I wish I could bump my score up another half-point for it alone. Sadly, it only reaches those heights every so often- but when it does, my god is it a sight to behold.
Girls Band Cry: 8/10
Tumblr media
I remember back when I watched Love Live Sunshine, I wished there was a girls' music anime where the protagonists sung the kind of badass punk rock usually reserved for the antagonists of idol shows. Well, it looks like writer Jukki Hanada and director Kazuo Sakai heard me, because five years after bidding Sunshine farewell, they're returned with one of the most exhilarating, renegade expressions of punk spirit we've gotten in a long time. Girls Band Cry is a supernova, a soaring firecracker of a show that marries an instantly iconic headbanger soundtrack with Hanada's typically spectacular character writing in this tale of five outcasts forming a band and coming together to spit in the face of the world that tried to grind them into conformity. Nina Iseri's arrogant, self-righteous immaturity is a primal scream for the importance of doing what's right over what's easy, and you feel that scream in your fucking soul. Even the show's scrappy CG animation embodies that non-comformist spirit, charting stunning new avenues for 3D anime with some of the most expressive character models and soaring concert scenes you're likely to see all decade. And while the pacing is definitely rushed at points, the overwhelming emotions bleeding from each and every scene make even the weakest moments go down easy. It's downright criminal Toei fumbled the ball on an official English release, but unless you're completely against sailing the high seas, you owe it to yourself to track it down regardless. So raise your middle fingers to the sky, spill your heart from your chest, and let Togenashi Togeari force you to believe in the power of rock all over again.
Dropped:
-Bartender Drops of God (3 Episodes). Too boring to stick with in a pretty packed season.
-A Condition Called Love (3 Episodes). Creepy possessiveness excused for the sake of romance.
Blue Archive (1 Episode). Do you even need to ask.
-The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio (2 Episodes). Awful adaptation that butchers what made the manga so great.
-Whisper Me a Love Song (9 Episodes). The production falls completely apart and it skips the main couple's first kiss. Just read the manga, it's really damn good and deserved so much better.

And we're back! Yes this is indeed Samus' second adventure involving the Metroids. Absolutely. There was positively nothing in between.
So Metroid II is a bit weird to me, not the game itself as much as the fandom's reception of it
Back when I joined in 2012 I...never saw anyone talk about this game, and when they did it was usually with a big "Eh, it's the black sheep (after Other M)"
So it was particularily jarring to me when this game suddenly saw lots of fans come up and present it as some sort of misunderstood masterpiece in later years, like some sort of secretly genius jem of a game that pushed the limits of the gameboy! This was mostly around the time AM2R dropped and especially after Samus Returns, when people would prop up the original game in order to shit on the remake for all the things Samus Returns did wrong.
Not gonna lie I use to resent this game: I used to think it was fucking boring and dull as hell, so seeing people praise it to high heavens just to shit on SR (as flawed as that game also is), and the subsequent clusterfuck that the Metroid fandom was between 2016/17 and 2021, kinda soured me on the game
But looking at this game in an unbiased way (or at least as much as possible)....this game isn't that bad, not as much as I thought (though it definitely is an acquired taste) nor as much as people used to say
...but it's far from great
But let's start with the positives: this game controls comparatively better than Metroid 1.
It's...still not great because Samus still feels clunky and too floaty, but now she can crouch and shoot and also shoot downwards while falling, which helps a lot
The sprite work is also a FUCK ton better than Metroid 1, with stuff being a hell of a lot more detailed, especially Samus.
Granted it's....got its issues (and I'll get into them more next time) but I'll give credit where it's due
Enemy placement is also far better, with enemies being placed far more reasonably except when you're dealing with the screen crunch and not as incessantly spammed as before. They also tend to do much less damage
The game introduces the series' trademark save points which sure beat Metroid 1's password system or even the Famicom version's save system which still spawned you at an area's start and with minimal health
Of course the game still doesn't have a map (in 1991 this was already pushing it) but given the game's more linear nature it's less egregious...but not completely so because most areas still look samey partly due to the gameboy's monochromatic color pattern and also because, despite the game's better overall spritework, most locations still look really samey, either being generic caves, generic Metroid nests (except the Omega's, that one is pretty cool) and generic building ruins that all look pretty much the same as far as architecture goes
And then we have the music
Yyyyyyeah uhhhhhh
The game certainly has some good tunes, the title theme is delightfully creepy and minimalistic, but with a really nice hopeful part. I like the main caverns theme, the credits theme and especially the Metroids' nest theme
Unfortunately you'll be spending a big chunk of the game listening to beeps and boops that wanna pass off as an atmospheric, minimalist ost
Now look: it....sorta works. When you're going through dark spooky caves and only have these atmospheric...weird sounds to keep you company it can absolutely give you a sense of loneliness and creepiness.....but the game overplays its hand with it way too much
These tracks play every time you visit one of the game's main areas and when you're outside of their buildings, meaning this is pretty much gonna be all that you'll hear of this game's OST for about half of your playtime.
I often see people claim that this game pushes the gameboy's limits and yeah in some ways it does, but in this case I'd say it plays against its limitations rather than within them: the gameboy's simple sound font can't easily create minimalist atmospheric tracks without them sounding way too basic or outright boring, or at least the composer wasn't able to, yet the game doesn't seem aware of this and just spams these tracks throughout most of the game, tracks that barely sound any different from each other and just end up blending in.
I think they jumped the gun way too early with this. There is merit in creating tracks that are incredibly simple and un-melodic but that can still give you the creeps. Just compare this to this
As it is Metroid II's soundtrack, at least most of it, makes the game just sound boring and uninteresting which....well isn't helped by the monochromatic pallette and some gameplay aspects though that's for next time

i just think that felix would look so good holding on to your neck while you're marking his neck and you got one hand holding one of his ass cheeks to spread him out so the other hand can finger him better and deeper and he's also losing his mind bc it's all he can feel but at the same time it's just not enough to make him cum, he knows he wants more but that's the game your playing, you teasing him to see how much he can handle before breaking and God he's so close so so close he feels like he might as well melt in your hands rn and he's kinda shaking from all the stimulation he's getting and then u brush your finger just right in that sweet spot inside of him and he sees white tbh he thinks he's about to reach the gates of heaven if u touch him there again so ofc u do and keep on doing it until he's clenching hard against your fingers and u know he's about to cum :D when u suddenly take your your fingers from inside him he sheds a few tears but then u also start distributing small gentle kisses against his face and the contrast just gives him whiplash but he swears he loves whatever u do to him bc he knows he's getting fucked nice and slow when u (eventually) do fuck him and then again he swears he's about to reach the gages of heaven again and again and again until he's crying for the second time tonight but for the opposite reason of the previous tears (I'm the same anon from the pegging seungmin while he's holding on to u askïżœïżœâ€â™€ïž)
anon are you aware of the thought that this corroded my entire being in more ways than one. please. if this were fully fleshed out fiction i would cry. your seungmin ask already had me in shambles
fingering felix in and of itself is a wonderful thing but having it laid out like this in specifics isâ€ŠđŸ˜”â€đŸ’«
i really like how you pointed out the contrast in your actions because i live for the same thing: there’s just something so good about watching a sub lose themself while you’re being both mean and kind on their body.
felix is the perfect candidate to be affected by this. he’s a really sensitive boy, both physically and emotionally, so i’d like to imagine his sweet reactions to you cooing and being condescending about reaching his high in one second to indulging in it and praising him the next.
maybe, as you’re fingering him, he’d start to writhe and wiggle around from the sensations. you hold his hips in place with your free hand and tilt your head in the same direction he’s facing just so that he’s forced to look you in the eye.
“lixie will behave and take y/n’s fingers, right? even if he’s a sensitive boy?”
“y/n
i’ll behave
”
you coo, because as cute as he is, his response isn’t enough. “even if he’s slutting out on my fingers?”
“y-yes! i’ll b-behave, promise.”
and he follows you, even when you go up to the verge of his limit while edging him, only to overstimulate him when he’s finishing. he’s a shaking mess, chasing his high round after round and releasing load after load. you’ve trained him well enough to have him control himself, but he still breaks so easily like glass under your fingertips.
“good job, lixie, cumming all over me, dripping on me like a good boy.”
“anything
” he huffs, exhausted but madly in love, “anything for y/n.”

7 Minutes in Heaven | Asahi Azumane x Fem!Reader
Warnings: 18+ minors DNI, overstimulation, squirting, unprotected sex, creampie, size kink, mentions of body hair, friends to lovers, Sugawara being a twat, pining (?), Kuroo is an underdog wingman
Summary: Daichi and Suga decide to help Asahi out with his crush on you, with a game of seven minutes in heaven at a house party.
Word count: 4970ish
He wasn’t sure what was going through his head when he invited you to his friends party. it’s not that Asahi didn’t want you there. No, not in the slightest. The times he’d spent with you during study sessions or study sessions turned into hangouts, he’s found himself to enjoy spending his time with you too much.
He's learned that your presence holds a comfort similar to a warm blanket. You didn’t make off-handed comments on his appearance. Although, sometimes you did compliment his hair, which left him stumbling over trying to accept the praise. You were patient with his timid nature, long enough for him to gain some confidence and talk with you like he would with any of his other friends.
You’d met his two other best friends, Daichi and Sugawara. You got along just fine with them. Asahi supposed the problem was with them, because they had a habit of pushing him past his limits. After they found out about the massive crush he held on you, they’d gotten a lot more pushier. Daichi telling him to ‘get a grip and ask you out already’, which would be okay if he hadn’t ordered Asahi to do so with his angry voice. He hated angry Daichi. Sugawara, on the other hand, would make casual remarks about you and your appearance. He wasn’t mean, quite the opposite, he found it amusing to tease Asahi with the idea of how pretty your lips would be wrapped around- that’s usually when Asahi would shout at him to stop, face red and hands fisted tightly in a white-knuckle grip on his lap to hide the too-obvious tent he’d be sporting.
He didn’t regret asking you to come. How could he when you were standing in front of him in such a lovely little dress.
“Is it too much ‘Sahi?” You asked, misreading his stunned stare with a worried frown. “You said it was a party and it was this or my leggings
” You fiddled with the silky hem of it that hung high around your thighs.
His mouth opened and shut a few times before he managed to collect himself, rubbing at the back of his hair. It wasn’t styled into his usual man bun, instead he’d opted for a half up, half down style.
“I
 n-no! you look um, pretty.” He stumbled. “It's not too much.” Okay. That was a big fat lie. It was too much for him. How was he supposed to function with you looking like that?
You stepped out of your front door, turning to lock it with a pleased smile and a heat fanning across your cheeks. Asahi had to force himself to turn away, he wasn’t about to be labelled a pervert for being caught staring at your ass.
“Thank you.” You smiled up at him as you both began to walk over to the place the party was being held at; his, Daichi’s and Sugawara’s shared house. Asahi had insisted on escorting you, not liking the nasty thoughts of something bad happening to you on your way over, even if it wasn’t that far.
“I like what you’ve done with your hair by the way.” You added, nudging his arm with your own.
He scratched his cheek with a single finger, a nervous laugh bubbling past his mouth.
“Yeah? My, uh my sister suggested it when she called me earlier. It’s not too different?” He mumbled, holding out his arm for you to hold onto as you both stepped down from the curb to cross a small road.
“It's different but different isn’t always bad.” You shrugged. “You look good, Asahi.” You tried almost too hard for it to not sound breathless but you couldn’t help it; you’d been attracted to him since you first saw him. You’d had to hold back a fist pump when he agreed to help you study for a shared class, wanting nothing more than to get to know the cute, shy guy that sat at the back of the classroom.
Your eyes darted up from the pathway when you heard the faint sound of music, gaze drifting to the numerous cars that littered the area around the house.
“I thought you said it was a small party
” You turned to him with a raised brow.
He huffed a breath as he stared at the cars too. “I thought it was too but, I think Daichi invited um, Kuroo?” His name came as a question to see if you knew the guy, carrying on when you shrugged. “And well, if Kuroo’s there then so is Bokuto and Bokuto knows a lot of people-“
“Do you still want to go?” You interrupted his rambling, stopping your journey on the path so you could try and gauge his feelings.
“Do you not want to?” His back facing the house as he spoke with you, fully intending to just go back to your place if you didn’t want to.
You grinned at him. “I asked you first.”
He rolled his eyes with a groan. “I’m okay with going-“
“Great, c’mon.” You linked your arm through his to tug him along, oblivious to the gentle smile that was adorning his face as he watched you speed walk up the pathway, your heels clicking against the concrete.
-
“He's back!” Sugawara shouted as he caught sight of Asahi being dragged through the front door by you.
“Hey Sugawara.” You greeted with a laugh as he bounced towards you with a drink in hand, side stepping a few partygoers as he did.
“What happened?” Asahi nodded to their living area which was packed with people, the majority of them he wasn’t even sure he knew.
“Bokuto came.” Sugawara chuckled into his cup, taking a messy sip from whatever liquid was inside it.
“How are you tipsy already?” You asked, arm still linked with asahi’s much larger, much warmer one, your fingers gripping into the soft fabric of his sweater.
“Kuroo's my bartender.” He giggled, suddenly perking up when he remembered something. “We’re playing a few games later, by the way
 y’know, the usual; spin the bottle, seven minutes in heaven
” He sang out, a teasing smirk hidden behind the lip of his cup.
“Oh, god...” Asahi sighed.
“I'm going to grab a drink, ‘Sahi. Do you want one?” you poked a finger into his shoulder after Sugawara had twirled around to dance back over to wherever he was before.
“Uh- yeah
 please. I'll be over there with Daichi, okay?” he pointed to said friend who was chatting with a certain rooster haired man.
You nodded in return, squeezing his upper arm before untangling yourself from him and then you were lost in the sea of people in the hallway that led to the kitchen.
“You were quick.” Daichi commented when Asahi had gotten close enough to him.
He shrugged. “She doesn’t live that far away, you know that.”
“I was half expecting you to not come back.” Daichi grinned. “Because of the whole
 party expansion. Not something Suga’ rated.” He snorted.
“Oh? You brought your girlfriend, Azumane?” Kuroo leered.
“Girlfriend?!” Sugawara guffawed as he poked his head into the trio.
“Shut up.” Asahi scowled, elbowing him. “We’re just friends.” he directed towards Kuroo.
“He wishes that she was his girlfriend.” Sugawara teased.
God, Asahi hated it when his friend got drunk. Dealing with a mouthy Sugawara was a tiring task.
Daichi’s eyes caught sight of you as you approached them with two drinks. “Okay, shut it.” Daichi nudged Sugawara.
“Hey Daichi, hey drunk Suga’, hey
 Kuroo, right?” You nodded at them as you passed Asahi his cup with a sweet smile. “I think I met Bokuto in the kitchen
 he’s holding headstand competitions.” You giggled.
“Yeah, I'm Kuroo
 so, did you compete?” He asked with a raised brow.
“No, I'd rather not flash everyone
” You responded, sipping from your drink.
“Asahi wants you t-mmf!” Sugawara's comment was cut off by Daichi who smacked a hand over his mouth.
“Sorry, what?” You asked, having missed half of his sentence.
“Nothing
 Suga’, go and get one of the games ready.” At the instruction, he bounded off and out of the room.
Asahi mouthed a quick ‘thank you’ to Daichi who discreetly nodded back at him.
Kuroo, wanting to see how far he could push before Asahi stepped in, inched closer to you now that the group was a person shorter. “You gonna play seven minutes in heaven?”
You sent him an uneasy smile. “Uh, well
” You look up to Asahi who was sporting an expression that said ‘I’d rather be anywhere but here’ “Are you going to play ‘Sahi?”
On one hand, you wanted him to say yes because then at least you’d have a reason to try and make a move on him and if he didn’t reciprocate your feelings
 Well, you could just blame your actions on the game and the drinking. But, on the other hand, you wanted him to say no. You didn’t want to deal with the sadness that came with having to watch him enter a room with anyone but you. God, the thought of him leaving the room looking a little more mussed up than he had when he entered... Yeah, you didn’t want that. Unless it was with you.
Asahi's mouth parted to answer, closing when Daichi did instead.
“Yep, he’s already agreed.”
“I did?” His brows furrowed.
“Yes.” Daichi folded his arms with narrowed eyes. In all honesty, he was sick of watching Asahi pine over you and since he wasn’t going to make a move on you anytime soon, well, where was the harm in giving him a shove in your direction?
-
Sugawara had announced the start of the game, a decent sized group of people gathering into a circle in the living area as the music was turned down to accommodate conversation.
“We’re not spinning a bottle?” Someone asked, you weren’t sure who it was but they had hair similar to the shape of an onion.
“Nope.” Daichi dropped the final slip of paper into a beanie hat that Kuroo was holding.
“Can I go first?” the man who you’d learnt was Bokuto shouted, body seemingly buzzing with excitement.
Kuroo dug his hand into the hat, reading out the name that was written on the slip of paper he pulled. “She's first.” He grinned, waving you over.
There was a loud groan of annoyance from Bokuto as you pressed your lips into a thin line, willing yourself to not look up at Asahi when you stepped away from him.
“Pick out your partner.” Kuroo winked.
Unfolding the slip you’d plucked from the hat made you feel sicker than it should and you could feel your shoulders sag as you read the name in your head.
‘Kuroo’
He whistled as he peered over your shoulder.
“Azumane, you’re up!” At your startled expression he grinned and whispered, “hurry up, pretty girl. You’ve got seven minutes.”
You still couldn’t decide how to respond to him, instead deciding to face Asahi who was nervously staring at you, thumb rolling at the ring he wore on his middle finger.
-
You weren’t quite sure how you’d reached his bedroom. You remember walking over to him and linking your fingers with his so that you could lead him out of the living room. Was it you or Asahi that changed course from the downstairs closet to his room, though?
“We don’t have to do anything
” Asahi murmured, back leant against his door as he closed it.
You’d been inside his bedroom maybe a handful of times before that moment. The neatness and overall cleanliness of it didn’t really shock you. Asahi had never been a messy person in front of you so you didn’t expect his bedroom to be any different.
You hadn’t moved too far away from him, close enough for your hands to still be connected. “You don’t want to?” You asked, staring down at them before looking up to meet his gaze.
You’d never seen him so red.
“I-“ He stumbled. You could see it in his eyes though, the way they kept flickering nervously to your lips.
You unthreaded your fingers from his so that you could lightly touch the side of his neck. A makeshift guide for you to press your lips softly to his jaw, pulling back so they hovered maybe an inch away from his skin, and noting how his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed thickly.
His sharp intake of breath was enough to make your knees weaken and you braced your other hand against his shoulder for support.
“‘Sahi?” You whispered, kissing at his jaw again when one of his hands came to rest at your hip. “Tell me to stop
” You continued to litter kisses around his jaw, not being able to hold in the whimper you let out by his ear when he fisted your dress into his hand, his other coming to squeeze at your hip.
He’d be lying through his teeth if he said that the noise you’d made didn’t make blood rush straight to his cock. He wants to hear it over and over again.
“You’re not teasing me?” He breathed, eyes lidded and brows furrowed at the possibility of you being somehow dared into this.
“M’no
” You purred into his skin, biting gently into his earlobe, smiling when you heard him groan.
You decided to test the waters and pushed yourself to press your lips, finally, to his. Gasping into his mouth when he tugged you to him, fingers digging into the softness of your hips.
“Is now a good time to tell you that I really like you?” You murmured against his lips, whimpering when he deepened the kiss, tongue delving into your mouth to stroke over yours. You could faintly feel the burn of his scruff against your chin, the pleasure of having Asahi kiss you willing you into not caring.
“Yeah.” He moaned into your mouth, tongue retreating so he could speak. He couldn’t find it in himself to be embarrassed by the line of spit that snapped as he did.
“Yeah?” You sucked his bottom lip into your mouth, nipping at it lightly before releasing it. “Do you like me too, ‘Sahi?” You pulled back when he moved in to kiss you again, your smile almost delirious when he groaned in frustration.
He settled for resting his forehead against yours, his fingertips twitching in desire to move away from your hips and grab the fleshier, softer parts of you. “Mhm.” He mumbled. “So much...”
“So much?” You breathed, nudging his nose with your own before guiding him by a gentle pull at his shoulders to his bed. His hands remained at your hips as you straddled his thighs and he resisted the urge to look down because your dress had surely moved up enough for him to get a peek at your panties.
“Touch me.” Your demand was whispered but he definitely heard it, your words enough to make blood pound in his eardrums.
Asahi's lips met with yours again but he made no effort to do as you told him to. Well, not in the way you meant. His fingertips dug harder into your hips as you sucked on his tongue. You chose that moment to grind down onto him, using your own hands to guide him down to the roundness of your ass.
He let out a broken moan, using his new grip to guide you into another slow grind along his clothed cock.
It didn’t take long for the pleasure to cloud your mind and you pulled away to take a second to breathe, gasping out when he latched his mouth onto your neck.
“‘Sahi-“ You moaned, head tilted back to allow him more access. You used a finger to lightly tug his hair free from the hair tie he wore, burying your fingers into the silky strands and tugging his head back.
God, you wish that you could remember the expression on his face forever. His eyes were lidded and there was a lustful haziness to them that made your head spin. His mouth was slightly glossy with spit and lips parted so he could pant in deprived breaths.
“
D-do you want to stop?” He asked, thumbs drawing warm circles on your ass where his hands were still rooted.
“Do you?” you smiled when you saw the amusement for what he was about to say flit across his features.
“I asked first.”
You shook your head ‘no’, staring at him through your lashes.
“Y-you want to
 um
.” He stumbled over his speech, cloudy eyes having cleared up a bit and his cheeks darkening to a cute pink as he thought of what you’d meant.
You tugged him to stand up, eyes zeroing in on the wet patch you’d left on his trousers as well as the large swell of his cock that was straining against them.
“Do you want to?” You guided his fingers gently to the straps of your dress, urging him to slide them off. You couldn’t stop watching his face, how his eyes flitted from yours to the cleavage that was slowly getting more and more exposed as he slid the straps down your arms. You let the dress drop to the floor, standing in front of Asahi in nothing but your bra, panties and heels, which you kicked off when you nudged your dress out of the way with your feet.
Asahi had no clue what to do. There was so much he wanted to say that was caught in his throat because fucking hell you were beautiful. He’d imagined so many times what you’d look like naked, more often than not it was whilst he was fisting his cock in the late hours of the night or when he was showering. His imagination did you no justice, though.
“You’re- I
 you’re beautiful.” He finally managed, he couldn’t focus on one area and resorted to sitting back down on his bed.
“You’re fully dressed. That’s a bit unfair, no?” You teased, tugging at the shoulder of his sweater.
He swallowed thickly before tugging it over his head, along with the t-shirt he was wearing underneath. You knew that he’d played volleyball in high school. It was something he’d mentioned early on when you were discussing interests. You really didn’t expect him to have the type of body he did though, hiding under his cosy layers.
You were a sucker for the kind of muscled bodies that held a layer of fat over them. It made them so much more squishier and comfier to cuddle up to.
“Holy crap.” You muttered, eyes wide on the swell of his pecs. The faint smattering of chest hair had you wiping your mouth with the back of your hand to catch any drool you might’ve let slip.
“Oh, God. What?” He asked, eyes wide. Did you not like his body? Was there something weird about him?
“‘Sahi you’re fucking gorgeous.” You stated.
His cheeks burned at the praise, head ducking down so he could hide his face behind a curtain of his hair. “Baby
” you leant forward to grab his shoulders.
He didn’t stop himself from staring straight at your breasts, his head slowly rising. His personal pinup was cut short when you pushed him to lay back. He sat up on his elbows, watching with bated breath as you unbuttoned his trousers. His shoes were tugged from his feet before you removed his trousers, his hips lifting to aid in getting them past his ass.
“Hi.” You grinned at him after straddling his body, cheekiness turning gentle with a smile as his hands moved to caress your face.
“Hi
” He breathed, letting his fingers thread through your hair and then skim down your spine.
Your eyes shut and hips undulated at the sensation, the pair of you groaning when your cunt sat firmly against his cock that struggled against his boxers.
Asahi felt like it was time to take the lead, having watched you make most of the first moves gave him a little confidence. You wanted him. He couldn’t let you put in all the effort.
In one motion he had you on your back, your legs spread wide enough for him to grind into you. His mouth sank to the muscle between your neck and shoulder, sucking and biting into it with a groan.
You moaned, lips parted and head tilted back because you really hadn’t expected him to do that. You could safely say that your panties were ruined, the sodden material clinging to your pussy and wetting Asahi's boxers.
“F-fuck!” You whimpered.
Asahi's head left the crook of your neck, one hand cupped under your ass to push you into his steady grinding, the other behind your head as he pulled you into an open mouthed kiss, grunting as he did.
“Fuck me.” You whined into his mouth, your order had him moaning into you. “‘Sahi, fuck me.” Your hands pushed at his underwear and your panties.
It took you both seconds to strip down until you were both fully bare, you’d flung your bra somewhere across his room, not caring where it’d landed.
“So pretty.” He murmured, sat back on his knees. He was staring straight at your drooling cunt, and it would’ve made you uncomfortable if it wasn’t for the fact that he was slowly fisting his cock, his bottom lip tugged between his teeth.
Precum leaked steadily from the tip and he collected it to smother the length of him.
You could feel yourself throbbing at the thought of taking him. Could you? Asahi was a big man but the size of his cock had you slightly surprised. He was blessed, that’s for certain, in both length and girth.
“Are you sure?” He asked, letting go of his cock, the weight of it not letting it stand up right.
“I practically stripped you down and begged you, and you’re still asking me?” You huffed with a light laugh. “Asahi if you don’t want to, then it’s okay-“
“No! I- uh
 I want to.” He planted his hands on the outer sides of your thighs, rubbing his warm thumbs into your cooling skin. “I just
 don’t want to hurt you.” He pointedly looked between his cock and you.
You held out your hands for him, holding back a giggle when he confusedly placed his hands in yours, threading your fingers together. You pulled him to you, slowly, not wanting him to fall too fast and accidentally hurt the pair of you, until he had your hands pinned next to your head.
“How do you do that?” He mumbled, kissing just next to your lips.
Both of your breaths had grown heavy, the skin on skin contact enough to set Asahi off with a slow grinding again. The weeping head of his cock knocking into your clit and the length of him sliding against your slick pussy lips.
“Do what, baby?” You asked, quiet moans falling against his lips every time he nudged your clit.
“G-God
” He grunted, his eyes were closed and you could feel him squeeze at your hands every so often as he rocked his hips. “You- you make me feel like I’m in control
”
Your grasp on his hands tightened enough for him to open his eyes, the usual warm chocolate you admired, glazed over with unreadable emotions.
“Because you are, ‘Sahi.” His name became a drawn out moan when his hips pulled away enough to catch the head of his cock against the opening of your cunt.
You didn’t miss the way his eyes rolled back slightly as he pushed the length of him into your gummy walls, the stretch making your back arch and pussy clamp down on him when the angle had him prodding against an especially sensitive spot.
“S-so tight.” He moaned, dropping his head to look at where he was buried inside you.
Letting go of one hand, he used it to cup your jaw as he planted a sweet kiss to your parted lips. “You okay, baby?” He smiled against your mouth when you struggled to kiss him back.
It took you a few seconds to adjust but, you eventually started to return his gentle kisses and he took that as a sign to start moving.
Lewd squelching filled the room as his cock stirred up your insides, Asahi settled for a slow and deep pace that had your mind muddled into a jumbled mess.
How the fuck was he so good at this?
Any further thoughts were lost to you when he sat up, fingertips digging into the fat of your hips as he used his strength to fuck you down onto him with steady grunts and moans.
“‘Sahi!” Your hands flew down to press against his hips when he shoved himself inside as far as he could, his heavy balls slapping into your ass.
“F-fuck
 m’sorry, baby.” He mumbled. Your cunt was squeezing him so much and the milky cum you were coating his cock in had him forgetting his own strength.
He ran a thumb over your clit, rolling his hips when you keened at his touching.
“A-again.” You whimpered, mouth gaping open in a silent scream when he pressed firm circles against your swollen clit and ground the head of his cock into the same sensitive area he found earlier.
Your orgasm washed over you faster than you expected. Faster than you’d experienced. Asahi kept up with his movements, wanting to help you through your high until he gently removed his thumb.
“‘Sahi?” His name came out a little shaky as you tried to calm yourself down.
“You feel okay, baby?” He settled over you slowly.
You nodded, tucking a few sweaty strands of his hair behind his ear. “You need to cum.”
“I don’t want to hurt-“
“Cum inside me, Asahi.” you murmured, bringing your legs up to push him deeper. Your head rolled back with another moan at the overstimulation.
His eyes squeezed shut as if he was trying to persuade himself not to. You’d sounded too enticing though. And the thought of filling you up with his cum set off a part of his brain that he wasn’t aware he had. So, Asahi hooked his arms underneath your legs and folded them up until your knees were up by your ears.
“O-oh, fuck!” The position was enough to knock the breath from your lungs but you couldn’t deny that this was the sexiest thing you had seen him do.
Well, it might be a close second to watching him read with his glasses on.
“I'll try not to hurt you.” He reassured you before pulling back to ram into your cunt.
The angle made it feel like he was so much deeper but you could tell that he was holding back from stuffing his whole cock inside.
The pleasure had you delirious and drunk on him, so much so that you weren’t even sure if you were babbling random words at him or just moaning.
His mouth hung open and eyes screwed shut as his pace changed from slow and deep to quick and simply stuffing the head of his cock inside. Your gummy walls were clamping down on his sensitive tip in a way that had his moans turning into deep whines.
“S-so close
” He stuttered out.
“Cum-ming! Asa- I’m-“ The steady pressure of him pressing into the slightly ridged spot in your cunt had your release squirting onto his abdomen and dripping down his cock and to his balls. You covered your mouth in an attempt to try and quieten your scream.
“Oh G-God
 you just-“ He grunted, eyes widening. He wasn’t sure if it was the feeling of you cumming on his cock or simply watching you squirt on him that had him finishing seconds later.
His hips slapped wetly into your ass cheeks as he buried himself to the hilt, groaning as his cock twitched and painted your insides white. There came a point where he could feel his cum seeping out along the sides of his length and he slowly set your legs down so that he could pull out. His eyes focused in on the globs of cum that escaped your slightly gaping hole, and rolled down to the crevice of your ass.
Asahi landed beside you with a breathless huff, gently tugging you to his chest so he could wrap his arms around you. Your own resting against the squish of his pecs, ignoring the layer of sweat that covered him so that you could trace patterns on his skin.
“I
 does this mean you’ll let me take you on a date?” His voice was quiet and contemplative.
You tilted your head up and tugged him down so you could press a lingering kiss to his lips. smiling at the way he hummed as you pulled away.
“Yes, ‘Sahi.” The faint thumping of music as it was turned back up had you stiffening. “We took longer than seven minutes-“
He laughed into your hair. “Yeah
” He pulled you tighter to him, nuzzling into your head. “You want to shower?”
“And then go back to mine?” You whispered.
“Definitely.” He wanted to cuddle you, naked or clothed; he didn't care, but the music and chatter from downstairs would definitely be a mood killer if you two were to stay and try to wind down.
-
“Do you think they’re fucking?” Sugawara grinned, eyes darting to the stairs that he’d watched you both walk up a while ago.
“Mind your own business.” Daichi rolled his eyes before looking over to Kuroo. “She pulled your name earlier, didn’t she?”
“How'd you know?” he queried, slightly surprised that Daichi had found out.
“I pulled out Asahi's name.” He laughed.

I've been kinda following the reaction to recent IDW, Frontiers and now Prime's story stuff and after reading enough threads and comments I started wondering: is the mainstream fandom really this easily emotionally manipulated?
I mean it like, you have IDW, you got Surge being painted as this badass and a portion of fandom claiming her as the new girlboss, but suddenly one panel of her looking sad and scared and people go "o no poor babby she has the feelies đŸ„ș". Or the Prime clip with Sonic and Tails that's making rounds right now. Apparently the pretty standard parallel/alternate universe plot of "a character meets a slightly different version of a character they are familiar with so interaction is going to be a little awkward" is enough to make some go into crying all over the keyboard mode because muh feels and muh angst.
Concepts like these sound emotional on paper and they can be executed well, of course, but like, is the bare minimum drama really enough to illicit this strong of a reaction from people these days? Or do fans just... imagine this high intensity of feelings because there are none in the actual source material and then run purely on that?
I don't know. I really don't. I've been feeling so alienated, and I don't want to think that everyone else is stupid and I'm the smart one to not fall for these obvious emotional manipulations.
It's like I'm seeing something different. I don't see Surge having a panic attack: I see her behaving in a wildly OOC way, because this behavior comes out of nowhere - since when does Surge, whose personality has been since page 1 "fuck yeah I wanna fight!", care about "being hurt"?. I don't see Sonic being horrified at the discovery about the true origins of Surge and Kit: I see an asshole who immediately brushed it aside and went to fight a traumatized girl with a grin on his face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you seriously interpret this as HORROR? He doesn't care! He doesn't! What are you guys seeing?!
I've already talked about Frontiers in length. I see the game as empty. There is nothing there. I can't feel bad for Sonic if he gets better 1 minute later. I can't feel bad for Sage's death if she spent most of her time on screen being stubborn (for sensible in-game reasons, but still). I can't feel bad for Eggman being all sad because THAT IS OUT OF CHARACTER. "oh but bowser can be evil and a dad" "oh but muh humanization" it's out of character, sorry. 31 years, and Eggman not once displayed any characteristic that would lead him to feel genuine affection for anyone, let alone an AI. No, Eggman saving Sonic from lava to preserve a Chaos Emerald doesn't count as a good action of his. Sure, Eggman saving Tails from Orbot in Colors was uncharacterisically nice... but you're not going to use an example from a game written by Pontaff, the people you consider on par with the 11th plague of Egypt, as source of good writing, right? You would be consistent, right? :)
I don't even care about Prime. I really don't. It slides off my brain. Oh, Tails became edgy because Sonic wasn't there, okay, sure, there are at least a dozen fanfictions like that.
(the fact that I watched Netflixvania right before Frontiers, and I went through a similar feeling of "why can I only feel rage at this poorly written mess?", doesn't help my mood. I genuinely felt like I lost all my ability to enjoy things)
But I know what's going on with Sonic. The idea that everything from 2010 to 2019 was horrible, flat, OOC and nothing but Cringe permeated the fanbase. So now, any kind of emotional moment, no matter how shallow and try hard, gets praised to high heavens. Add a good dose of Adventure nostalgia (because muh Meta Era if the games reference the Classics, but thank you Lord Flynn for saving the franchise if the games reference the Adventure era), and there you go. (meanwhile I'm still here getting my heartstrings pulled by that one scene of Sonic realizing that he's all alone on Lost Hex and it's all his fault...)
I'm being bitter. I also realize that I'm sounding like an arrogant cock, and I don't like it. I wish I could see what everyone else is seeing. I wish I could love Surge and think of her as the best villain the franchise has to offer. I wish I could gush about how deep Frontiers is. I wish I could be interested in Prime and have something to look forward to. This is not fun. I don't feel oh so smart bitching about stuff that others like, I feel like a thief of joy and not a nice person to be around.
And yet, something as simple as hearing Maria say to Shadow "you used to run so quickly on these slopes", implying that edgy anti hero Shadow used to play on the ARK like a normal child with her best friend before tragedy struck, makes me feel more awful than anything else I've mentioned. So it's not that there is something wrong with me.

Actually you know what how much more unhinged pairings could we get? VegasKen? KenPorsche? ChanVegas? ChanPorsche?
TankhunChan?
VegasKen - When I say I am *obsessed* with this concept. I have been tinhat screaming about this for months (THE RING!! THE RING!!). but I'm not even their #1 fan... I know I keep hyping up this fic that hasn't come out yet but @kinnbig is sitting on a VegasKen that's possibly my favourite chapter of anything ever. Deranged. Sinister. So SO fucking hot. Fuck Raw Approval: đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„/5
KenPorsche - Tit game phenomenal. The bodyguard equivalent of the two warring hottie airhead mean-girls getting flung together at a high school party by a game of 7 minutes in heaven and *finally* breaking the tension by fingering eachother in the coat closet. They still lowkey hate eachother after but at least they gave it a whirl. Nice one losers. Fuck-Raw Approval: đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„/5
ChanVegas - I can't lie this one BLINDSIDED me but I love it. I *need* it actually. Degradation/Praise kink Vegas being put in his place? Captain Daddy-Issues meets Daddy Chan? Hell yeah bröther! Fuck-Raw Approval:đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„/5
ChanPorsche - Eh! Subordinate being kept in line by someone older and more skilled with more power? They want what Kinnporsche already has. The most vanilla 'daddy-kink' ghostship after ChanBig. ChanVegas for the swag-deficient. đŸ”„/5 Next.
TankhunChan - I was ready to dismiss this outright for the actual visceral reaction it pulled out of me. But the implication that Tankhun would top compels me beyond belief. đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„/5 but purely because I need to know more. What other wonders of their sex lives are hereto yet untold. I read this and immediately felt like the Charles Darwin of blorbo sex. I neither approve nor disapprove but I think they should fuck raw purely so I can study them like bugs lmao đŸ‘©đŸŸâ€đŸ”Ź
Was only half joking about turning this into an ask meme:
Send me your unhinged blorbo pairings and I will tell you whether they should fuck raw or nah 💌✹💕

Tumblr media
Introduction
A volleyball training camp consisting of some of Japan’s most prominent high schools. Chaotic, right?
Well, many schools came: Aoba Johsai, Fukurodani, Nekoma, Inarizaki, Itachiyama, and Shiratorizawa.
These training camps often led to the teams’ managers getting to know each other better and bonding. And as Itachiyama’s manager, even if most of them were girls, you were no exception.
Which meant, while all the managers collectively did their manager duties like refilling water bottles, you talked.
And, for some reason, the topic of boys came along and what ‘type’ of boy they liked.
You see, the girls were nice. They looked for personalities, rather than body parts - most of them anyway.
You on the other hand, well, you loved thick boys.
Prominent man boobs, thick thighs, fat asses.
“Is that
 why you became a manager?”
“Is that why you don’t hand out towels?”
Unbeknownst to you, and the girls, a few people were eavesdropping on you.
 
Bokuto
“I’d say that fits your description, right Bokuto?” Konoha playfully elbowed him on the chest, but the ace wasn’t paying attention. “Eh, Bokutooo? You there?”
He was not, in fact, there.
He really had no plan to charm you at all. If he already had these traits, surely your eyes would drift off to him, right?
But obviously, he subconsciously starts showing off more when you’re watching his match.
He starts glancing at you every time he scores a point. Slowly, glances turn into looks that ask for praise, like a puppy; and then looks turn into verbal “Did you see that (y/n)?!”
You don’t know when or why he started fixating on you, but you certainly weren’t complaining.
Thanks to your praise, Bokuto slowly starts getting more comfortable around you. Then, one day after he scores the game winning point, he runs over to you.
Before you know it, he’s pulled you into a hug.
“WOO (Y/N), DID YOU SEE THAT?!”
But you don’t reply, because 1) you can’t with your face smushed against man boobies, and 2) this is heaven.
Bokuto’s confused, of course, until he realizes your hands on his thighs.
He only laughs it off, until Komori comes. Behind the libero is a possessive looking Sakusa and a scary Iizuna. Komori’s about to spew some protective comment like, “hands of our manager” but you stop him.
The will to stay in this bear hug is stronger than the boobies giving you an inability to speak. “Let me have this, Komori.”
“Ah, right, you like this kind of stuff.” The libero laughs, slowly nudging Sakusa and Iizuna away. 
“What’s this kind of stuff?”
“You, hot stuff.”
 
Iwaizumi
“Iwa-chan, you’re not gonna leave me for him, righ-?”
“Shut up, Oikawa.”
It starts off subtle, wiping off sweat from his face with the bottom of his shirt and making sure to expose his pecs. Though such a thing works when there’s no other thicc boy in the room.
Then he starts stretching more often, particularly his legs.
Sometimes, on particularly hot days, he rolls his shorts even higher up his thigh.
Slowly, as you start to talk more often, he does the same things while you’re hanging out relatively alone.
“Hajime.” 
“Hm?” He stops his stretching, looking at you curiously. You lick your lips, your gaze looking at his thighs.
“Keep stretching.”
He obeys. His thighs flex and stiffen, the stretching starts getting painful, but he doesn’t stop because he knows you like it. When you press a hand against his thigh, he lets out a low groan.
“Fuck, Hajime.”
Finally, he knows you’re absolutely enamoured with his body.
 
Kageyama
“None of us fit that description.”
“Shut up, boke.”
“I mean...you fit that description?”
Each time he knows his gaze is on you, as he’s in the back line ready to receive a serve, he sticks out his ass just that little bit more. Along with tensing his thighs.
Sometimes he drags Hinata to receive his serves somewhere within your vicinity. When Hinata receives it and sends it back to him, he doesn’t catch it. Instead, he lets it fall so that you can watch him bend over to grab it.
He might even shake his ass a little.
One time, when something accidentally falls out of his hands, you confront him.
“Tobio, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
“Doing what?” He looks at you through his lashes - up for once, booty out and still bending over. Then he has the audacity to shake his bubble butt.
He smiles when you let out a frustrated groan. “That.”
“I still don’t know what you’re referring to.”
 
Kuroo
“Ha, that sorta fits Kuroo. Wait, Kuroo, are you-?”
“Yes, absolutely, yes.”
You know that extremely flexible receive? Yeah? Expect to see that a lot.
It shows off his ass and thighs and just- umph im such a simp
Unlike most others, he’s much more forward about it than others. He won’t outright say it, granted, but he’ll be more touchy with you.
One second, his arm is wrapped around your shoulder. The next, he’s pulled the back of your head to one of his pecs. 
When your team spots this, they rush over to get him to stop. At the forefront of the group is Iizuna. “Hands off our manager.”
Before you can say anything, Kuroo speaks up, “Last time I checked, (y/n)’s his own person. Besides, he enjoy this, right?”
“Yeah.” You don’t defend yourself from Iizuna, because hell, the captain banter is entertainment.
The two captains glare at each other with their competitive yet polite looks. Eventually, Iizuna falters. He can’t argue with you saying you like it, nor does he have the comebacks in him to talk to the ‘provocative expert’.
 
Atsumu Miya
The twins stare at each other, glaring as they usually do. “Dibs.” Atsumu says, and Osamu can’t deny that. It seems he’s missed out on you.
Just like Kuroo, Atsumu is forward.
He is also impatient, so if you don’t catch on the first few times, he’s just going to blur it out.
And that is exactly what happens.
Each time he tries to get your attention, he fails. A subtle wink sent your way, a flex of his bicep, bending and holding on to his knees after a loss penalty, none of them seem to alert you. They don’t, because he’s dumb and doesn’t think to show off the qualities that you like as much as the qualities that he’s confident in.
Which is why he’s here, in front of you while you take a break on the bleachers.
“Miya-san? Don’t you have a game?” You glance down at the court, seeing the rest of Inarizaki playing. They certainly aren’t at their best without their genius setter.
“I like you.”
Your raised eyebrow only taunts him, “And what brought this upon-”
“I know you like me.” He sits next to you, slinging his thighs over your lap. “Don’t you like these thighs?”
“I guess I do, ‘Tsumu.”
 
Osamu Miya
The twins stare at each other, glaring as they usually do. “Dibs.” Osamu calls. Even if Atsumu grumbles and kicks at the ground because he’s missed the opportunity, he can’t deny the power of dibs.
He’s much better at this than Atsumu is. He’s more patient and has no problem with playing the long game.
However, he doesn’t; because unlike Atsumu, he accentuates his qualities that you like.
He pulls up the bottom of his shirt to wipe his face, rolls up his shorts quite high, and generally does things that always have your eyes on his thighs, pecs, or ass.
He’s taunting you, silently telling you to come to him, so that’s what you do.
The next time you find him panting from a run, ass out and bent over, you confront him. Conveniently enough, he’s away from other people.
You make your presence known by putting a hand half on his ass, half on his thigh.
“Oh, heeey, (y/n).” He gives you an all-knowing look, paired with lazy half lidded eyes.
“You know why I’m here, don’t you, ‘Samu?”
“Obviously.”
 
Ushijima Wakatoshi
“I like thick men, the ones with prominent pecs, thick thighs, and bubble butts.”
Sure, he heard it. Sure, he processed it. But did he think about it afterwards? No. Did he connect the dots? No.
In fact, you’re the one attracted to him.
Ushijima is that one oblivious yet extremely suggestive individual. He does squats after practice, thigh-accentuating stretches, bends over without a single thought, this man is blatantly sexy.
You have to keep yourself from doing anything indecent.
So, it’s quite obvious you like him. Anytime he’s in the room, you’re staring at him. As such, Sakusa takes notice, and boy is he disgusted.
“(y/n), please don’t like him.”
Why? He didn’t want to let you date him, it’d turn you into a reminder of one of his most formidable opponents.
“Sakusa, I can’t help it.”
Welp, he’s doomed.
“(y/n), hey.” You’d never really interacted before you approached him. He noticed that you always looked at him, but he didn’t really think about it, nor did he think about why you did it. There were more important things to focus on.
“I like you.”
“Huh?”
He’s so dense, so oblivious, gosh. Good luck with him.

NSFW 18+ Plug! Dabi x Fem! Reader HC
Tumblr media
a/n: first off, minors DNI. Second, this is my first time posting any of my writing on any platform. I have so much shit on Wattpad that just sits in the drafts. I am not confident enough to publish my shit writing. I’m shocked that i am even doing this. But I thought about this while breaking up 🍃🍃 for a blunt. I’ve seen so many hcs/Drabbles of stoner Dabi. ....but what about plug dabi
Also I want to mention that I do not condone drug use unless for medical reasons. it helps me with my extreme anxiety. literally saved me. And I 100% do not condone drug dealing. Just wanna throw that out there before you read.
a/n: this shit is SOOO long I’m sorry. I worked on this for like three days.
Summary: literally brain rot. Dabi being your plug HC.
Warnings: drug use, intercourse, dumbafication, oral (f receiving), sexual themes, mentions of alcohol.
I feel like you would probably meet him at some house party. Full of people drunk and/or high off of drugs that were given at the party, the supplier being Dabi for said drugs.
He immediately noticed you when you joined the circle of people passing blunts around, thinking you definitely did not belong here. You looked so innocent with those unsure doe like eyes when a random guy passes the blunt to you.
Gravely mistaken when he watches you puff that blunt like a champ, not coughing up a lung once and throwing back alcohol like it was water. Good girl on the outside but bad girl on the inside? Holy fuck he thought you were hot. He’s gotta get to know you.
After the smoke sesh, he would pull you aside to introduce himself just to get close to you.
Would definitely give you his number saying, “if you ever need anything, hit me up. I got whatever ya need, doll.”
Anytime you text him needing something, he would get so excited. He would drop whatever he’s doing. It don’t matter if he’s in the middle of a sell, dead asleep, at his part time job extra cash, or early in the morning. He’s gonna give you what you’re asking of him asap.
Definitely giving you discounts even on his best shit. Original price for 10 grams is $100? He’s giving it to you for $50.
Also would throw in extra without your knowledge. One time you noticed he gave you three extra grams and tried to give it back to him. “‘S okay. Just keep it, doll.”
Plug dabi would definitely get jealous if you bought anything from anyone else besides him. He will make sure to give you shit for that.
If he doesn’t have what you need at that moment. Baby, he’s going to make sure he gets it by any means necessary if it means he gets to see you for a few minutes.
Will always bring the drugs to you wherever you’re at. No matter how many times you’ve told him you’ll meet him somewhere or come to his place. He doesn’t wanna inconvenience you.
He would always look for you at parties. Once found, he’s dragging you away from everybody to a vacant room, outside, or to his car. He wants to smoke with you alone.
Loves when the smoke rolls smoothly out of your mouth after you inhale it. Thinks you look god damn sexy with the smoke floating around you and your low red eyes look fucking adorable.
If there’s something new you wanna try lsd or shrooms etc, he’ll offer to be with you and to stay sober incase you have a bad trip.
He knows he’s completely infatuated with you, but will not admit it to his friends. Especially Keigo. “You’re fucking whipped.” “Shut the fuck up, Keigo.”
Absolutely hates it when some random dude hits on you at parties or even stands close to you. He’s pulling you away to smoke.
Finally gets the balls to text you one night to smoke with him. “I got some good shit this time, doll. Wanna smoke it with me?”
When he gets to your house, he’ll already have the blunts rolled, a pipe, or anything you want ready for you.
Will hold the blunt to your lips when it gets too small. gets a boner feeling how soft they feel. He doesn’t want you to burn your pretty fingers.
Loves that you match his energy when it comes to smoking. No one has been able to smoke as much as he does like you do.
When he starts to notice the looks you’re giving him, the way your eyelashes bat at him and the lustful look in your eyes. He decides he can’t hold back anymore.
He’ll grab your chin with his thumb and forefinger to face him, softly blowing smoke onto to your lips as he stares at you. Will roughly pull you in closer to smash his lips against yours after the smoke disappears.
Gently pushes you to lay back on your bed so he can hover over you and rest himself between your legs.
No high from any drug could compare to the soft whimpers and moans leaving your lips when he pushes his hips into yours. It was fucking music to his ears.
Absolutely snaps when you tug on his white hair. He’s tearing yours and his clothes off now.
And don’t you dare try to cover that beautiful body of yours. “Don’t hide from me now, baby.”
He’ll start leaving marks on your neck, then down to your breast, taking extra time sucking, licking, biting, and kissing on them.
When he gets down lower on your body, he’s happy to set that you’re already soaking, showing that you wanted this as much as him. He’ll wrap his arms around your thighs, setting them over his shoulders and will go to fucking work on your pussy.
Swears that he could’ve came on the spot from the moans and whimpers leaving your lips. Especially the moan that you let out when he added two of his fingers into the mix.
Will make it a point to constantly praise you while his tongue makes you feel like you’re higher than cloud 9. “You taste so fucking good.” “God, so fucking beautiful.”
Will stop right before you cum. “Nah, baby. I want you cummin on my cock.”
After he’s got you all ready for him, baby you are in for it. He’s waited so long for this fucking moment. He ain’t holding back. He’ll grab your throat tightly as he seethes himself into you. You both gasp at the feeling of pure ecstasy.
Loves your fucked out face. Tongue lolled out. Tears brimming your eyes. Little bit of drool dripping of the corner of your mouth. Hair a complete fucking mess from the many times he’s pulled on it.
His stroke game? GODLY. He’s thrusting into you like a god damn rabbit but he’s hitting all of the right places and it feels so fucking good.
100% rough but his words are the opposite. “You’re taking my cock so well, doll.” “Look so beautiful while I’m fucking ya dumb.” has a degradation kink but that’s for another time.
Aftercare with Dabi is pure heaven. He’ll hand you his shirt from off of the ground for you to wear. He’ll clean you up, light up a blunt for you two, and cuddle you until you both fall asleep.
Oh and, you definitely getting shit for free for now on.

flashing lights — bill denbrough
pairing: bill denbrough x fem! reader
warning(s): smut, eighteen! bill denbrough, is it choking if he doesn’t squeeze?, fingering, piv sex, cursing, ig kinda degrading idk tho judge for yourself, unedited
summary: bill, the star baseball player of derry, and you, from another high school, meet in the locker room and get to know each other. 
words: 3.1k
note: don’t say i never gave you anything i am a woman of my word
Tumblr media
sitting here in the bleachers adjacent to the baseball field, with the setting sun in your gaze and the feeling of newly spring wind on your skin, you had high hopes that your schools baseball team would win. out of all the schools in lieu with your own, bangor high school, derry’s team was the most anticipated of in the season. where most high schools in the nation favored the fall sport of football, the central part of maine where you lived actually liked baseball more, so when the first sprouts of spring showed, everyone was excited for the next season. 
you were a senior, almost finished with school and personally tasked yourself and your group of friends with trying to go to every single baseball game that you all could make it to - whether they were at home or away. 
“look, he’s up to bat,” your friend marcella said, catching your attention by lightly tapping your shoulder and motioning to the field. there you saw your close friend owen, who was the star player of your school’s team and one of your friends since you were a little kid. he was the person who introduced you to the group that you were here with now, here specifically to cheer him on. 
you saw him walk to home plate, bat in hand and getting into position to swing. your eyes took you across from him to the pitcher of the other team, who you didn’t know but could see the name displayed on the back of his shirt. denbrough. you raised your eyebrow at the last name, it didn’t ring a bell. 
the crowd started to cheer for your friend, waiting for denbrough to throw the first pitch. everything became silent, and the ball was thrown with stellar accuracy. whoever this denbrough boy was, he was seemingly a really good pitcher. when the second ball was thrown and owen missed yet again, your hand ran through your hair nervously. you could hear people whispering all around you, wondering if he was going to strike out. 
just as if someone of the heavens was listening to the anxious worries of your fellow classmates, denbrough went to throw the ball and owen swung and the ball went flying, going straight for the outfield as owen ran with all his might to first base. you cheered with your friends, yelling words of encouragement and praise towards your team. 
the game, from that point, was in your high schools favor. it was seemingly decided almost halfway through that bangor high school had it in the bag, which did nothing for any person in your crowds ego. just as the last inning was finished, your school came out victorious. 
“hopefully this means that we’re going to the championships this year,” you heard people say. “and maybe we can host it at our school so we don’t have to drive all the way out here again.” 
you were anxious to see your friend, running down the stairs of the bleachers and shouting his name, but owen didn’t hear you. sighing, you turned to your group to say, “should we get back home?” the team would have to come back by bus anyways, which sucked, because you wanted to congratulate your friend on such a good win. 
“yeah, probably before it gets too late, you know how bad those backroads are,” jake stated. “do you want to catch a ride with me? im sure marcella can take your car back.” 
half of you wanted to go with them and just see owen later, but to you, it felt like poor taste to make him wait that long. plus, maybe you could catch him before he left. you shook your head, “no, i’ll stay. i want to see the team. go without me, I'll see you tomorrow.” 
jake laughed. “okay, just don’t get lost.” he wiggled his eyebrows in a teasing manner and walked away, taking your friends with him and leaving you alone in the front of derry high school. 
you had been here once before, just for a short while and after a baseball game like right now. but that was all the way back during freshman year when you were trying to find the bathroom, you really had no idea where the locker rooms were. 
opening the large door, you started along the main hallway, looking at the posters that aligned the wall that reminded you of your own school. derry was really similar in layout, so perhaps it wouldn’t be that hard. turning the corner, you saw a sign that pointed to the gym and the locker rooms. in no time you were there, but there was no one coming out of the doors. had they already left and you missed them? it was silent. 
you put your ear to the door and listened, hearing some rustling. you knocked, but there was no answer, making you raise your eyebrow. and you don’t exactly know what prompted you to open the wooden door and make your way inside, but you did, and along the array of closed lockers, your eyes took you to the one person who was in there. 
it was the denbrough pitcher. 
you got a good look of him now, with his honeyed locks that fell messy on his forehead, standing taller than you. his back was slightly turned to you and through his jersey you could see his toned back muscles, making you lose yourself for a moment and send you almost stumbling over your feet. you knew that he was attractive from the moment you set your eyes on him but you didn’t know that he was this attractive. 
he turned around now and immediately those dazzling cerulean blue eyes landed on you, making your face heat up in realizing that this was not the visitors locker room like you had intended on trying to find. 
“sorry,” you fumbled out after a moment of shameless staring. “I was looking for my friend.” denbrough tilted his head to the side and you watched him take out a bag and push his locker door closed. instead of walking out like you should’ve, you just stood there watching him. it was in poor taste, since the longer you looked at him, you could see clearly that he was angry. 
a tiny grin came to his face. “it’s fine, no one’s in here except me anyways.” a silent moment passed and then a quizzical look came to his face, eyes falling back on you. “wait . . . weren’t you cheering on the other team?” he had noticed you, just as you were now noticing him. the room seemed a lot smaller than it had earlier and you ignored the fluttering feeling in your stomach the longer he stared at you. you didn’t even know his name. 
“yeah, it was a good game,” you shrugged your shoulders. 
“we should’ve won that game.” 
a cocky grin splayed on your features. “well, im sure you’ll get another shot next time.” you would have to play them again to secure a spot in the championships, it was still rather early in the season anyways. 
“will you be at the next game?” denbrough asked, he walked closer to you now, and there was a look in his eyes that was not easy to mistake. he was looking at you like you were a full course meal and he was the hungriest man on earth. and you liked the way that he looked at you, this gorgeous boy that you had barely met, and you wanted him to keep looking at you like that. well, you would rather him be doing other things. “maybe we could go do something together afterwards.” now you were certain of his likeness for you. 
you gave him a smirk. “well, i don’t know about that, i wouldn’t want to get involved with the opposing team.” when he noticed you were directly giving back the same energy he was giving, his feet stopped so he was just inches away from you. it took everything in you to keep yourself from grabbing him by those large muscles and - 
in a moment of weakness or just pure idiocy, you did exactly as you thought, lunging yourself forward, hands reaching for his face and pulling him into a searing kiss. when he reciprocated your movements, you had to stop another smirk from rising to your face, pushing it down and focusing on your hands that made it’s way to his soft hair. 
your kiss was unexpected by denbrough, though seemingly not unwelcome since his hands found their place exploring your sides, not being exactly gentle with his touches which you didn’t mind. this was so unlike you, doing something like this with someone you didn’t know. and to be honest, it was unlike him, too. 
but both of you were giving each other the ‘fuck me’ eyes and well, you only live once, right? 
as the kiss became more sloppy and he broke it to press kisses to your jawline and trailing down your neck, you breathed out and closed your eyes. “I don’t even know your name.” you sighed into his touches though, not really caring what his name was but knowing that it would probably be useful sometime soon. 
denbrough came back up to meet your gaze. “it’s bill,” he gave you a grin. “pleasure to meet you.” there was a sense of teasing in his tone, which you would’ve laughed at if his hands weren't reaching for where your shirt met your pants. 
“y/n,” you said weakly, already feeling your legs start to give out by the way that he was looking at you. you reached out to bill, wanting to feel his body pressed against yours again. he chuckled at your eagerness, giving you what you wanted by slowly pushing you against the lockers behind you. you felt the cool metal through your shirt and instantly realized how hot it was getting in this locker room, your skin was already on fire. 
bill reattached his lips to your skin and you spent the time trying to undo the belt that was around his pants that nicely accentuated everything that you wanted from him. thank god for baseball pants. 
tentatively, you pressed your hips against his and you heard a groan leave his throat, his lips stalling for a moment and then going back to his earlier movements. you were well aware of how excited he was, taking a moment to note that you could feel that he was absolutely fucking enormous. 
of course he was. 
as if he had enough of this teasing, his hand reached down and went straight under the band of your pants, being met with the wetness that was gathering in your panties. you bucked your hips forward into his hand and he smirked at how compliant you seemed to be with him. his other hand was gripping your side, keeping you close to him while the other pushed your panties to the side and the pad of his pointer finger came into contact with your slit. 
you moaned out and bill covered your mouth with his own, not kissing you but keeping it there. “so tell me,” he said, breath hot against you, finger tracing a line from your slick folds to your clit, making you almost keel over if it hadn’t been for his hand keeping you up and body pressing you farther into the locker. “this friend of yours, he was on your team wasn’t he?” 
you nodded, not trusting your voice. but he didn’t seem to like that, his hand stalling and not moving no matter how much you tried to gain friction. 
“answer me with words,” the hand on your side coming up to the bottom of your throat so you were forced to look at him in the face, those blue eyes on him seemingly had become darker. 
you took in a sharp breath. “yes,” you answered. his movements started again, but this time he took one finger and pushed it inside you till he was knuckle deep in, a large moan falling off of your tongue, eyes rolling to the back of your skull. 
“and how do you think he would feel seeing you like this for me? the star player of the other team?” bill’s tone was condescending and you wondered if he was normally like this, or he was just angry about the outcome of the game. his finger sped up, soon being joined with another one that slipped in with ease. you were so wet for him already. “but you wouldn’t care, would you?” 
it was seemingly rhetorical, because he didn’t wait for you to answer and instead attached his lips to your throat, teeth grazing a point that had you gasping, hand coming and tugging on those locks of his, the other falling to his neck. 
“bill,” you muttered. “please just-” you were cut off by a moan, gripping him close as his thumb came into contact with your clit and rubbed tight circles against it. 
he looked up at you from the mess he was creating on your neck. “please what?” 
“just fuck me.” 
you were really in no position to be making such requests since bill seemed to be in control (which really, you didn’t mind if it meant that he was making you feel good in the process), but at this point you were too strung out to care what he thought of the rather forward request. you knew that you needed him and you needed him now. 
bill pulled away from you and you took in his now ragged features, noticing the tint of red in his cheeks and the freckles that dotted them, and the goldenness that he seems to radiate. in some ways you hoped that this wouldn’t be your only encounter with the denbrough boy, but that was something to worry about later, since his hands were undoing the rest of his belt and you knew that was your cue to do the same with your own pants. 
soon enough you were back in the same position, one of his hands next to your head on the locker behind you as he moved to position his cock at your entrance, eyes meeting with yours as he pushed in to look at your reaction. and it was everything that he hoped to see, your mouth opening into an ‘o’ shape, lips parted and eyes never leaving his own. 
once he bottomed out, he already started a fast rhythm, giving you little to no time to adjust. but you were so needy you didn’t care, not one bit because he was making you feel so good that you wished for this moment to last forever. and you were already so wet and willing, bill couldn’t wait a second longer. 
your hands gripped onto his forearms, steadying yourself, but it was hard to keep your legs from giving out. bill must've noticed your struggle and leaned down, grabbing you by the back of your thighs and hoisting you up in his arms, using the leverage of the locker to fuck into you. 
the change in position made you quiver in his arms like putty, arms wrapping around his neck and caging him close to you. incoherent words fell from your mouth that wouldn’t close no matter how hard you tried, while his pace became fast, rough, and unrelenting. you didn’t know bill well but you could tell that he was adamant about making you feel good, which fueled the fire inside of you even more. 
if he was tired from playing the game, he didn’t even show it. bill fucked into you with such a frenzy that it was almost animalistic, which made you wonder how much energy this boy possibly had. what you didn’t know was it was your moans what were spurring him on, your moans that kept him going. bill had already been to point of exhaustion from the game but you were able to give him a second wind and he was not fucking up this one like he had fucked up in the game. his determination both of the field and in this moment caught up with him and well, he was bringing all of his emotion out. 
and you loved it so much that you couldn’t think straight. all you could do was try and keep yourself still, words stringing together into barely put together sentences of oh fuck yes and that feels so good. 
it was a moment of pure bliss that you didn’t even feel yourself start to clench around him, noticing it finally when you felt every inch of him scrape against your willing walls, bringing you closer to that cliff into a sea of pleasure that only he could give you. what finally made you break was the groans that he was making, which were hot and heavy and like heaven to your ears that you knew you would be playing on repeat before you went to sleep tonight. 
and then his hand slipped between your legs, pressing up against your swollen clit and that was it. you were sent into a state of pure, fucked out bliss as you came around him, your moans everything but silent. luckily there seemed to be no one around to hear, and if they did they didn’t bother with stopping it.
a few thrusts afterwards and with an insistent command from you to cum inside you because you were on the pill, bill came undone and it was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen in his life. as if this boy couldn’t get more perfect, haven been basically sent to you on a gift from god himself. he pulled out and you could feel the evidence slightly dripping out of you and onto your thighs. 
there was a moment of cleaning up, where he actually grabbed a towel from his locker and helped you wipe away everything and eventually sit down onto the bench between the sides of lockers. where you thought would be awkwardness, there wasn’t, a few words passed between the two of you and then you told him that you should go, you had to drive home. 
surprisingly, he asked if you needed help and then you remembered you barely knew him and shook your head. it was late anyways, he probably had things to do. 
and when you got control of your limbs again (which bill cheekily smirked at), you walked out of the high school, him trailing behind you. you gave him one last look before parting ways, and in the heat of the moment, you told him your number and to call him if he ever wanted to get together again.

It’s kind of ironic for Pee Girl to say all of these things on twitter (with the second one being her telling someone to block a critic of hers while ironically citing the opinions excuse, while the third one is actually her of all people acting like she can judge what’s rude), given uh, she’s still pretty much stalking/harassing her critics/people she just doesn’t like, on twitter.  Like, I would say take a shot each time she mentions miraculouscontent, but I can’t, cause with the amount of stuff she seems to tweet about miraculouscontent, we would be in hospital if we played that game:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, and if last screenshot wasn’t obvious, yes, she still goes after Rjalker:
Tumblr media
And yes, she’s still stalking Harriyanna:
Tumblr media
There was also the whole mentioning Harriyanna when.....strangely going into a tweet about Turning Red hate, which....I don’t know where pee girl got that from....Harriyanna’s video isn’t hating on the movie....and its weird Pee Girl hyperfocuses on Tyler from the film when saying Harriyanna should keep her trap shut??? Like, I haven’t seen the film myself yet, but like, its just odd....and also very bold of the girl who preaches opinions to just....tell Harriyanna to keep her trap shut, like....okay, so from I can gather from ALL these screenshots: its only okay for Pee Girl to have opinions. You have a opinion that disagrees with hers or you call her out? She suddenly acts like she can dictate everyone on the internet.  She also in the same mentioning of Harriyanna....called her and another user she hates, zoe oneesama, karens.....when again, I don’t think Zoe’s hated on turning red either....so again, another moment off, “I must bring people I don’t like into something they not apart off-” 
And like, the fact that throughout ALL these screenshots, she....calls Adrien salters not human and acts like we’ll never change.....for what??? How is hating Adrien even a crime we can never change from? Does she think we all got some shrines dedicated to hating Adrien or some shit??? And to act like we not human for not liking a fictional character??? Bruh, I would say that’s not even a sign of not being human, that’s just what someone here would call a opinion (but it disagrees with her opinions so....).  And just, given she’s been posting about miraculouscontent.....who the hell told her she could dictate whose in this fandom and whose not??? Just because miraculouscontent doesn’t like precious adrien doesn’t mean she’s not suddenly apart of the fandom. Also it should be noted miraculouscontent is not 40....but we all know she typed a random number just to act like she could....tell someone to get bent....and to tell someone to change their URL cause I guess a requirement to like Miraculous is to like Adrien to an unhealthy degree??? But ironic to call someone annoying and.....lets just go through the nicknames: annoying, whiny ass bitch and whiny petty bitch.....like, ironic to call someone else annoying cause....last I checked, everyone got annoyed around pee girl here cause she never changed on tumblr, so.....
But yeah, I do agree with pee girl this is just sad.....that a woman in her 20s is still refusing to grow the fuck up and accept not everyone has to like Adrien, and yet, thinks she can tell people to grow up and to be quiet and everything just because SHOCKER, a fandom made of many people isn’t going to praise Adrien to the high heavens like she does.  And to go back to the first three screenshots, its fucking ironic to act like its cyber bullying and that everyone hates on her for her opinions and are trying to make her look bad.....no, pee girl, if your reading this: your doing that ALLLL on your own. All this? THIS is harassment. This is stalking. You purposely seek content out like this just to go after them on twitter, and then whine when your called out cause you will preach to miraculouscontent to grow up, but you? Your the one who actually needs to get off twitter and take a long look in the mirror already and grow the fuck up already.  You’re been given countless chances to stop this shit, but given your still going, guess your the one who will never change actually, and the fact that you still insist on acting your shoe size instead of your age is an obvious sign you will continue to waste those chances in favor of screaming about the latest critic you stalked....all over a fucking fictional character.

whip appeal | lucas (m)
Tumblr media
title: whip appeal pairing: lucas x black!reader genre: smut request: “In honor of Lucas' bday, can we get a fic in which Lucas and his Black gf go out to celebrate his bday with friends? They can't keep their hands off each other the whole dinner and things end up getting super spicy đŸ€­ once they get back home. They both liked to be praised? 🧐” and “Can I request a Lucas and black gf riding please? I know we talked about this before so here it is glasses😎! Thank you!” word count: 4.1k warnings: riding, unprotected sex, creampie, face fucking, face riding, oral (female and male receiving), praise kink, a little exhibitionism, dirty talk, maybe sub!lucas?, overstimulation a/n: this is pure filth, heaven help me. 💀 decided to combine two requests for this one. i was never really a big fan of the “getting down at the dinner table” smut trope, but well
it seemed fitting here lol
In celebration of Lucas’s birthday, you and him had decided to go out to dinner with the WayV members and some of your own friends. You’d even made sure everyone’s schedules would be clear for it, which mostly meant nicely asking (or maybe jokingly threatening) your friends to shuffle some of their plans around so they could attend.
As soon as you all sit down in the restaurant, the WayV members sing Lucas a birthday song embarrassingly loud, which makes him blush a little but he’s also pretty pleased by it.
And if there’s anything else he’s pleased by, it’s your outfit choice for the night.
You have decided to wear one of Lucas’s favorite dresses on you, one he got you a year ago for your first anniversary. It’s a form-fitting black dress with a slit on the side—a fairly high one, which you were a little bashful about at first. You quickly ended up loving the dress, though, due to Lucas’s enthusiastic reaction to you in it. 
Yes, it’s definitely hard to forget how he’d peeled your panties off and bent you over the couch with the dress still on, bunching the fabric up in his hands so he could tug you back onto his—
Anyway, it’s a great dress.
That still holds true now, of course. He’s barely left you alone since you got in the car with him, though you could also say the same for yourself; he manages to look even finer than usual in his leather jacket and all-black fit, which is quite a feat. You had half a mind to persuade him into a quickie before you left, but that would only make you late; it’s always hard to stop once you both start.
You’d both agreed you’d make it through the dinner without incident, though now that you’re sitting in the restaurant, you’re not entirely sure if either of you can keep to that.
It’s hard to pay attention to what anyone else is saying with Lucas sitting so close to you, his arm and his thigh brushing yours every so often, sending his cologne wafting past your nose—more often than it probably should, and you know he’s doing it on purpose. He’d even placed your napkin on your lap at the beginning of the meal, his hands lingering on either side of your thighs for a little longer than they should have, and you gave him a cautious look in return.
As you all wait for the entrees to get to your table, Lucas’s hand goes to your thigh under the table, his fingers pressing heatedly into your skin. You give him a sideways glance as his fingers linger where the slit in your dress is, as if they’re about to go up under the fabric and head where they’re not supposed to.
“Yukhei. Keep it low,” you whisper to him, and place your own hand on his thigh higher than it probably should be in public. It was initially meant as a warning gesture, but your intentions change as soon as you feel the hard muscle of his leg under your palm. Because you just can’t resist now that he’s opened the door.
“I am, you just have to not make it obvious.” He grins, brushing his fingers along your exposed skin. This makes a shiver go up your spine, and you shift in your seat a little abruptly, your own fingers edging ever closer to his groin. Your sudden movement catches Kun’s eye and he gives you both a look that’s a little more on the suspicious side than neutral. You try to give him your best innocent smile, and he nods in reply, though the slight wariness doesn’t totally leave his gaze.
Lucas’s hand refuses to move from your leg. Instead he brushes his thumb repeatedly over the sliver of your thigh revealed by the dress, knowing how distracting it’ll be for you. Whenever you or he isn’t talking to one of the others at the table, he takes those short moments to lean over slightly and whisper obscenities in your ear as if he’s just casually talking, well aware of how it’ll affect you.
“If you can be a good girl and keep our little game secret, I’ll give you a reward when we get home.” This makes you sit up straighter in the chair, fully alert as if you weren’t intrigued already.
“A reward? It’s your birthday, shouldn’t I be giving you one?” you whisper back, still trying to keep your eyes forward like everything’s normal.
Lucas chuckles, and his warm breath hitting your ear and the side of your neck makes your heart beat a little faster. “The only reward I need is your p—”
“Oh, here comes the food!” one of your friends exclaims. Her voice makes you jump, mostly because you almost felt like you were about to be found out. You look up, and just as she says, the waiter has come back with the first round of plates.
You sigh a little in relief when Lucas’s hand finally departs from your leg, and then you’re slightly embarrassed that you were already this wound up just from a few touches. You bring your own hand back to your lap and mess with the napkin, trying to calm yourself down.
You do such a good job of it that you almost forget about your game with Lucas as you all start eating and talking more enthusiastically. You and your friends enjoy listening to the men’s banter and silly jokes, even if their wordplay is a little lost on you at times.
However, your mind is brought right back to the matter at hand after the entrees are taken away and it’s time for dessert.
Lucas leans over to you as you take a drink from your water and mumbles, just low enough for only you to hear, “You’re not wearing any underwear, are you?”
You snort and almost cough but manage to catch yourself before you draw everyone’s attention. “Hmm...you’re just now noticing?”
Lucas sucks his teeth and shakes his head as if he’s about to reprimand you, but he only grins slyly. Like clockwork, his hand slides back underneath the table, only this time he takes the initiative to push his hand through the slit in your dress and grip your inner thigh.
His fingertips are dangerously close to your heat. You stiffen up instead of trying to deter him, because if you were to grab his hand now, there’s a major chance you might just push it further where you want it to be instead of pulling it away.
Hendery says something that makes everyone else laugh, and Lucas takes this moment of distraction to shove his fingers between your legs, the pads of them sliding over your clit. You can’t control your response as well this time, and you make a little yelp, kicking your leg up and hitting your knee against the underside of the table. Lucas withdraws his hand from you as soon as it happens, though he can’t stop the laugh that comes bellowing out.
Everyone’s heads whip towards the two of you at the sudden disturbance, varying expressions of confusion and suspicion on their faces.
“Are we disturbing you? Should we all leave so you two can have a moment?” Ten suggests, a knowing expression written all over his face. He even seems a bit bored, as if he’s already used to walking in on you two in compromising positions at the dorm—which he is.
“No, that’s not necessary.” Lucas is still laughing, which makes you want to roll your eyes because he’s making it even more obvious although he was the one who wanted to be discreet about it in the first place. “We’re fine, it’s nothing.”
“Damn, Y/N, y’all couldn’t wait until the last course?” Another one of your friends giggles behind her napkin like she’s utterly scandalized, and you sigh.
“Don’t worry about me! Like you haven’t been flirting with Yangyang all night.”
Yangyang lets out a nervous chuckle, and your friend gives you a look that says we will talk about this later.
You try to focus on your dessert when it comes, plus the conversations the others are having, but Lucas’s touch has gotten you all riled up and your mind keeps drifting. You’re beyond the point of pretending like you can handle this anymore. By the time dinner is over, you’re clinging to Lucas’s arm as you all leave the restaurant, and you barely want to let him go so he can say goodbye to the WayV members—which they find lowkey hilarious.
One of your friends joins you as you wait for Lucas to finish his conversation with the others, and she rests her arm on your shoulder, shaking her head.
“Okay, not to sound totally greedy, but that dessert wasn’t enough for me
” she comments. “I know it’s one of those fancy-pants restaurants and all, but they don’t gotta downsize everything. What about you and your man? What’d you think of it?
“Well, I got Lucas a birthday cake at home, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
“Is that right? I wonder what kind of cake it is,” your friend says this innocently, but the look on her face tells you she means something else entirely. “What flavor? Vanilla? Strawberry? Chocolate?” 
“Oh, girl...look at the time. Time for you to go home!” You laugh with your friends for a few moments more before you and Lucas finally depart from the rest of the group and head back to your place.
The atmosphere is tense once you and Lucas get in the car, though not in a bad way—quite the opposite. “You’ve been messing with me all night. You should be more than ready for what’s going to happen once we get home,” you tell him.
“Is that a threat? You already know I’ll take whatever you give me.”
“Take, you will,” you say with a scheming smile on your face, and you slide lower in your seat to get comfortable as you run your hands up your legs, tugging your dress a bit higher as you do. Lucas’s eyes dart to your hands and exposed skin, and his own palms tighten around the steering wheel.
You laugh at his reaction and return your hands to your sides just as quick as you placed them in your lap. “Now, keep your eyes on the road so we can get home in one piece.”
Lucas is already tugging you into the side of his body as he unlocks the front door to your place, and his lips are against yours only seconds after the door closes. His body is hot and firm against your own, and he still tastes like the dessert he ate back at the restaurant. It makes you want to push your tongue into his mouth—which you do.
“You know,” you murmur when you both separate for a moment, “I don’t think either of us won that reward, since we got caught.”
“Doesn’t matter. You’re still my good girl.” As if emphasizing his point, Lucas tilts your chin up and kisses you again.
Eventually—maybe a few years later, with how long it feels like you’ve been making out against the wall—you both make it to your bedroom, Lucas’s leather jacket stripped off somewhere along the way. You push him to sit on your bed, though you still keep your hands on him as you unbutton his shirt, exposing his tan skin to you.
His pants are next as you bring your hands to his lap so you can unzip them, already feeling a bulge underneath your palm. You rub your hand over it, finding the tip of his cock through the material and circling your thumb across it. Lucas drops his head back as a deep sigh comes from his chest, and he lifts his hips slightly to meet your hand.
When you have his pants fully undone, you kick your shoes off and drop to the soft carpeted floor in front of him, pulling his pants and underwear down enough so you can pull his dick out. It’s long and hard and leaking precum as you wrap your hand around it, and it twitches at your tight grasp.
You’ve barely done anything yet, but Lucas says under his breath, “Fuck, I love it when you suck my dick, baby
so pretty for me.”
You smirk as you stroke your hand along his length, feeling the precum sticking to your palm. You press forward to place your lips on his shaft, sliding your tongue out of your mouth to drag up the length of his member. When you get to the tip, you carefully take it into your mouth and suck it firmly. A noise between a groan and a growl rises from Lucas’s chest, which hits you straight between your legs.
Lucas breathes heavily as he sits up on his elbows and watches you suck him into your mouth, your lips and hand fitting around his member like you were perfectly made for each other. He’s bigger than you were used to in previous relationships, but that doesn’t mean you don’t make it work every single time.
“Y/N...Y/N. God. You feel so good.” He especially likes when you take his balls into your mouth, which you do now, and he has to give a concentrated effort not to move his hips further up.
“You can feel even better if you fuck my face.”
“Really?” You don’t do this very often, but you figure it’s a special occasion, so why not. Lucas’s stomach tenses, as if he’s about to explode at the very mention of it. “Want my cock in your throat?”
“Do it, Yukhei.” And then you open your mouth and slide his shaft against your tongue, pushing him inside, inviting him to do just as you’ve offered. He lays a hand on the back of your head and pushes his cock further into your mouth, experimentally at first, to prepare you for it.
Soon, he lets a little of his control slip and thrusts more fully into the back of your throat, his fingers digging a little firmer into your hair. The sounds of it are so filthy, but he loves it and it makes his stomach flood with desire—makes his dick throb in your mouth. It creates an inevitable mess, with your spit dripping down his length and his balls, but the uninhibited nature of it makes you even wetter.
Lucas finds himself dangerously close to the edge quicker than he expected, and he pulls himself from your mouth with a lewd, wet noise.
“I don’t wanna come just yet,” he groans, and before you know it he’s pulling you up onto the bed with him, guiding you to kneel over his face. You don’t question the sudden switch-up or complain; you just hike your dress up higher so you can watch his face as you lower your hips down, rubbing your pussy over his waiting tongue. He moans when you make contact, like he’s been wanting to do this all night, and he wastes no time with bringing his hands to your hips and rocking you against his mouth.
“Yukhei, please,” you moan. It feels like every neuron in your body wants to fire all at once with how his tongue works over your clit and his plush lips wrap around it and suck hard. He can’t say anything in this position, but he answers you with a deep moan that makes your nerve endings vibrate and your walls clench around nothing.
You want him in you, want him to stuff you full with his dick and bust inside of you, but you’re not done riding his face just yet. His chin and lips are all wet from it. He wraps his arms around your thighs and holds you tight against his mouth as you thrust down onto him, and you have to place your hands on the mattress above his head to maintain your stability as he forces an intense orgasm out of you.
Lucas continues lapping into you as you drip onto his mouth and chin. He’s almost embarrassingly loud with how hard he’s sucking your pussy, like drawing all the juice out of a piece of fruit, and you double over and howl as he works you over. Your neighbors have probably had it with you by now, but you can’t think about that as you cum fast and hard again, your clit throbbing as he swirls his tongue around it repeatedly.
“God, I can’t take anymore, your mouth—oh fuck—” He still hasn’t let up yet, and you bang your fist against the bed, your agreed-upon sign to stop for whenever it gets to be too much. At that, Lucas finally releases your thighs from his iron hold and backs off of you.
You feel like you could probably sleep for a day straight from the head alone, but Lucas is still hard and leaking precum and there’s no way you’re letting that go unanswered for. You shimmy down his body so you’re sitting in his lap now, and you shiver when his shaft slides against your still-sensitive clit.
Lucas watches intently as you grasp his length and bring your hips up so you can push it into you, and his Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows hard. A groan rumbles in his chest as your pussy squeezes around him. “Are you real? You look like a fucking angel on my dick, baby.”
You giggle, an almost drunken sound—even though you are quite sober at the moment—as you seat yourself fully on his dick and begin rolling your hips. You grasp his shirt where it still hangs off his body, bringing him up so he’s sitting straight with you in his lap. You catch his lips and taste yourself on his mouth.
You both continue kissing as your bodies fall into a natural rhythm, one of Lucas’s arms going around your waist to gain a better grip so he can thrust up into you a little harder. He angles himself so he can hit your g-spot with every motion, and you scratch at his neck and his back when he does.
“I don’t know how long I’m gonna last,” Lucas admits, though his hips never stop moving against yours. He tugs his bottom lip between his teeth, a line of exertion creasing between his brows. A trail of sweat drips from his neck to his jawline, and you follow it with your tongue.
“I don’t care, just come. Give it to me, Yukhei.” Your hand tangles in his hair and you bring his head closer, tucking your face into the side of his and taking his earlobe between your teeth.
“Goddamn, Y/N
” Lucas can’t do much more but moan and gasp as you push your hips into his more forcefully, pulling him ever closer to his climax, and whatever else he’d planned to say comes out choked as his balls draw up and a vein pops out against the skin of his neck. 
Lucas slumps back to his elbows as if the strength has been sapped from his body as he lets you ride him as if you’ll never get to do it again, throwing him headfirst into an explosive orgasm as sticky cum bursts inside you. A string of nonsense leaves his mouth, mostly curses and groans and some syllables that sound like your name.
“Y-Yukhei
” You can barely gasp his name as your own climax crashes into you, making you clench almost painfully around him as you come. You have to pause for a moment to simply ride through the sensation, too encompassed with the feeling to be able to do anything but cry out and let your body slump against his.
You both lie like that for some long moments, breathing hard against each other and trickling with sweat. When you feel steady enough to sit up again, you do so.
Even as the tension in Lucas’s body unravels itself, you move your hips again, a dizzying winding motion. Your pace is a little slower after you’ve come, but you don’t stop rocking your body on his. You feel Lucas’s cum shifting in you and leaking back out, but that doesn’t bother you. He’s still rock hard inside you, and you are going to milk this for all it’s worth.
Lucas’s eyes pop open, and he looks at you with an expression of surprise. There's something else in his gaze that’s a little new to you—something like submission. “Y/N
”
“Can you take another, Yukhei?” You reach behind yourself to find his balls and fondle them momentarily, and he twitches inside you. His thighs flex underneath you, and you sigh and marvel at the beauty of his perfectly formed body in action.
“You’re gonna kill me,” he moans, but he lies flat on his back again to offer himself up to you, letting you fuck yourself on his oversensitive member. The sounds of your lovemaking are wetter and nastier because of his cum dripping from you, and it makes lust swirl in your stomach.
Groans and grunts spill from Lucas continuously now as you increase the pace again and push your knees into bed to ride him more feverishly. One of his hands comes to fist in the fabric of your dress like he wants to rip it clean off—or maybe bring you down harder on his cock—and his face colors red from the pleasure racking his body.
Though you never stop in your motions, you lower yourself so you can bring your mouth to his neck and kiss the heated skin of it. You swear you can almost feel the blood rushing in his veins. Lucas gives you a few hard thrusts from beneath, though his hips stutter and he ends up letting you do most of the work again. 
There’s little warning when he comes this time. He shouts, a cut-off sound like he’s been silenced before he could fully vocalize it, and shoots more hot ropes of cum into you. He seems to release even more of his seed than before as his cock pulses repeatedly inside of you, and you wonder how much you could coax out of him if you went at it like this all night.
“Yes baby, fill me up...so good for me, so sexy
” You mumble this against his neck as you grind on his abdomen, needing that extra stimulation to your clit to meet your own end. He’s trembling now from the aftershocks of his climax, and in a few more moments, the overstimulation might really overload him.
“Fuck Y/N, come on—” He shoves his hand between your bodies, and although the angle is a bit awkward, he rubs his fingers against your clit in a way that finally pushes you into your final orgasm. You writhe against him and clutch onto his shoulders for support as you lose yourself again in that burning thrill racing through your body.
You’re both a sticky and tired mess by the end of it all, and you don’t even know if you’ll be able to stand up to get in the damn shower. Still, you are more than satisfied. Lucas himself must be on cloud 9, judging by the blissed-out expression on his face, his hair a complete mess from how it was originally styled earlier in the night.
Grinning, you cup his cheek and kiss his lips again. “Happy birthday, Yukhei.”

          Reiner had no shame as he leaned against the door frame, eyes trapped in an infinite loop as he traced over the exposed stretches of your naked skin. You looked beautiful in the bath, warm sunlight from the window pooling over your shoulders and glistening in the water that lapped at your chest. He suddenly understood the temptations sailors must have felt toward playful water nymphs, especially when you lifted your leg from the surface, fingers sweeping over your skin as you bathed.
           You looked ethereal, serene, tempting. You looked like you were his, all the bruises and bitemarks glossy on your wet skin.
           “Finished with your phone calls?” You hummed, soft smile tugging at the corner of your lips.
           “Yeah, for now at least.”
           “Care to join me, then?”
           He was hoping you would ask. His arms stretched above his head for a moment, waking up the still heavy and tired muscles in his shoulders, his back. He’d spent most of the morning pacing around the living room in his boxer briefs, warding off questions from Zeke and setting up plans with Pieck. It was no longer a secret to anyone that he’d brought you to his apartment, which was a tricky thing to explain. He’d settled on telling a half-truth: he wanted some time alone with you to make you more comfortable. That was his job, after all, to butter you up and make you a willing participant in the Marleyan games.
           He swiftly shed what little clothing he had, hissing at the heat of the water as he slid in behind you. He felt like he was boiling, but you seemed content in the warmth, all soft hums and gentle sighs as you settled between his outstretched legs.
           “How is everything?”
           You peered over your shoulder at him, lashes fluttering as you took in his form.
           “Surprisingly calm. Though I do have a date planned for us.”
           Reiner brushed his hands down your upper arms, over your back, fingers spread wide as he marveled over the smooth planes of your body.
           “A date?” you laughed, breathy and sweet.
           “Mhm, Pieck wants us to meet her and Annie at the library in a few hours. Didn’t explain much, just said she’s found something interesting.”
           “Annie?”
           Your back met his chest as you leaned against him, setting a lavender scented bar of soap to precariously balance on the edge of the tub. He’d forgotten he had that under his sink; at least it finally found a purpose, though he never expected the soap to be slipping across your skin.
           “Yeah, it’s been a while for you two, hasn’t it?”
           He wrapped his arms around your stomach, your breasts resting on his forearms. There were water droplets resting on your neck, dripping down to the hollow of your throat. He tilted his head down to capture them with his lips, his tongue, kissing languidly up and down your neck.
           He quite liked this side of you. Tranquil, relaxed, it even felt domestic. The atmosphere felt much more conciliatory, like you’d both agreed to lay aside your transgressions.
           Your lips mimicked his, kissing at the pulse of his neck as your head lolled back against his shoulder.
           “I’m sorry about last night, I shouldn’t have gotten so upset with you.”
           “Don’t be,” he chuckled, one of his hands reaching up to cup your breast because he just couldn’t help himself, “you had every right to be angry.”
           Your fingers laced over his, both of you feeling the weight of your breast within your hands, listening to the rhythmic thumping of your hearts. He was transfixed by the rise and fall of your chest. It was sensual, the embodiment of life, the most natural thing for any body to perform.
          He didn’t know if he’d ever felt this intimate with anyone before. He’d never not bathed alone, always finding solace and silence in the water. But now he had you in his arms, both covered and uncovered by the thin barrier of water over your curves. It took a moment for the realization to settle in that you were really here, allowing him into your space like this. You’d allowed him in, even allowed him inside your body. It all felt like a privilege he didn’t quite deserve.
          “If you had the opportunity, would you do it all over again?”
          “What do you mean?”
          He rested his cheek on the crown of your head, thumb still sweeping over your nipple.
          “If life gave you a second chance, would you start over? Do things differently?”
          “In a heartbeat.” He didn’t even have to ponder on that answer. He’d made far too many mistakes that he wanted to correct.
          “Me too.”
          You turned your face toward him, offering your lips for him to kiss. Complying, he pressed his mouth to yours, groaning as you began a slow, careful cadence. It felt like the first time he kissed you last night, only gentler, more exploratory. He took his time traversing your mouth, teeth nipping at your lips, tongues tangling. One of your hands lifted from the water to cup his face, dripping fingers pulling him closer.
          There was a moment for a small breath as he broke away to test a new angle, his fingers twisting in your wet hair to dip your head back, open your lips wider. He smirked into the kiss when you moaned, a delightful sound that reverberated down your throat. He couldn’t get over how intoxicating you were.
          His other hand abandoned your breast, discovering new parts of the swirling, breathing cosmos that was your body, the pads of his fingers dancing over your belly. You spread your legs knowingly, moaning again as he found the softest of flesh between them. There was still hesitancy in his confidence, power behind his touch, as his fingers dipped inside of you and he curled the digits just right.
          You sucked in a sharp breath as you pulled your lips from his, his eyes opening to find your brows slightly furrowed.
          “Fuck, I’m sore.”
          “Sorry about that.”
          You laughed, lighthearted and grinning, “You are not.”
          You continued to smile through your moans, his fingers continuing to dreamily stroke and press inside you, your walls tightening at his movements. The water was splashing along the sides of the porcelain tub, sloshing back and forth in timing with his strumming of your body.
          His lips were back at your neck, mapping over places he’d already been just hours before.
          “It’s amazing this tight little pussy could fit my cock.”
          He could practically feel your skin tingle from his words.
          He circled his thumb over your clit and the high pitched moan that fell out of your mouth had his cock hard in an instant. His cock was straining against your back, throbbing and making his stomach muscles tighten.
          Your hand dipped under the water, catching his wrist and ceasing his movements. He carefully pulled his fingers out of your folds, concerned that he had hurt you as you started shifting in the tub. Small waves of water sloshed into the floor as you turned around, coming face to face with him and settling into his lap. Your warm thighs draped over his, your knees barely making space on the bottom of the tub.
          “Too much?” He was looking up at you, hands sliding down your back.
          “Not enough.”
          You captured his cock in your hand under the water, pumping at the shaft and making his head fall back. He hadn’t felt that yet—your soft palm wrapped around him, thumb circling the fat, swollen head. He had thought he could keep his control, just take a simple bath, but he should’ve known he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off of you.
          He swallowed thickly when you lifted your hips, lining him up with your entrance. There wasn’t very much he could do in this position aside from let you be in control.
          “Fuu-uuck,” he groaned, giant hands helping to keep you steady as your pussy started to suck him inside. You were so fucking tight, like he hadn’t molded your insides to be his last night. Your hot little cunt felt like heaven all over again, every inch taken in making him breathe deeper and harder.
          He watched your head lull back as you pushed all of him inside of you, lips parted.
          God he didn’t deserve this. Nothing he had ever done justified being ridden by something so beautiful.
          Your hands held on to the muscles of his shoulders as your hips started to roll. The water started ebbing with your body as you made your own tide. He looked down to where your bodies were joined, groaning so loudly it even shocked himself.
          “Yeah? Feel good, baby?” Your voice was low, sultry.
          He didn’t even notice you lean down to kiss him, gaze too transfixed on the bulge he could see from his fat cock inside of you. One of his hands drifted from your waist to your lower stomach, palm flat so he could feel the movement from inside your body.
          “You take my cock so well, princess, fuck, look at you.”
          His praise had you moving faster, whimpering above him. Your snug walls wrapped around his length was driving him mad, sending him into that headspace where all he could think about was painting your insides white.
          All his instincts were telling him to grab a hold of you and take over, but he was holding back, wanting you to set the pace with how deep he was in your guts.
          He felt your hand on his face, pulling him up by his chin. Your lips captured his, tongue greedily sliding into his mouth. He grunted into the kiss as your nails dug sharply into his shoulders. It was all messy, moans bleeding into one another as you continued to move up and down, up and down, over and over again in his lap, ass smacking into his thighs and disturbing all of the cooling water.
          “Couldn’t stand it, could you?” he mumbled into your mouth, “You had to have more of me.”
          “Mhm, your cock feels s-so fucking good.”
          “Who knew you were such a little cockslut.”
          But he was the one fading, pleasure was racing down his spine, making his toes curl. He knew he was going to fall off the edge soon, just from a few minutes of your delicious cunt sliding over him. He moved the hand on your stomach lower, thumb tracing around the folds that were enveloping his cock.
          If there was one thing he still had control over in this situation, he could make you cum. He swirled his thumb in a rather cruel pace over your clit, knowing it would send your senses into overdrive.
          “Oh, oh, oh please, please.” Your head was hanging lower, mouth permanently open with gasps of satisfaction.
          “You beg so pretty, so, so pretty, such a good girl.”
          You cried out, cunt clenching around him. He smirked, hand abandoning your hip to reach up and grab your cheeks, the other still tormenting your swollen clit.
          “Oh you like that? Like being my good girl?”
          Your head nodded fervently in his hold, lips reaching for his but he kept you at bay.
          “Y-yes,” you were breathless, breasts bouncing as you started to get sloppy, losing your mind on his cock, “I’m your g-good little girl.”
          He was going to explode. You were too fucking good, divine, even, to be saying things like that to him.
          “Fuck, Reiner, I
”
          You didn’t get the chance to say the words, orgasm ripping your body so strongly that he could feel it. He felt every muscle clench, felt your thighs shaking, felt your wet, slippery walls squeeze around him so tight he felt like he saw god.
          You looked so sublime in your bliss, head thrown so far back that your back was arched, the alluring column of your throat on full display. Your tits were heaving with stolen breath, hips slowly rocking in his lap as you pulled out every last moment of rapture that you could.
          He was so close, just needed a little more from your spent body. He used his strength to lift you up by your ass, bucking up into you roughly and using you like a cocksleeve.
          And you let him, your grip on his slick shoulders weak, body bouncing to the hurried, desperate pace he set. Everything was so wet, warm, he felt like he was slipping under the water and drowning, but he was just lost in your body.
          Reiner came with strangled roar, a gasp, some out of body experience that made his head hurt with the pleasure of it all. He felt like he was on fire despite being in the water, like his skin, his cock, were burning, pounding. And your perfect pussy soaked every bit of him up, cum spilling into your depths.
          He kept himself seated inside of you as you both came down from your highs, arms winding around your back and pulling you to his chest.
          “Are we going to make a habit of this?” He smoothed a hand over your cold, damp hair as he asked, unashamedly pressing a doting kiss to your forehead.
          “Why not?”
          You looked up at him, face flushed, satisfied. There was a bit of mirth in your eyes, something mischievous, but a lingering seriousness that made your simple question resonate.
          Why not?
          There were probably a thousand reasons why not. One of the glaring ones being that you were both prepared to hurt each other at any given moment. He’d wanted to kill you the night you were captured, and you’d wanted to wring his neck before he turned your anger into passion.
          Maybe that’s what this was now. A new way to channel all the uncertain emotions you felt toward one another.
          If that was the case, then why not? Why not fuck the most bewitching woman he’d ever met? Especially when you were so willing and so fucking tempting.
          He knew why not, but at this point, he didn’t care. He wanted you, so he was going to have you.
━━━─── ‱ ───━━━
          It felt like the world unfortunately started turning again when you made it back to the Marleyan Warrior Headquarters. Reiner had been kind enough to loan you a scarf to keep the winter chill away, but also to keep questions about all the rather...unseemly marks on your neck at bay.
          You should’ve stopped him from being so brutish, but you knew that deep down you never would have said no. It felt too good to have someone be so eager to claim you.
          The two of you walked side-by-side through the building, winding down hallways and up the stairs toward the archives where Pieck was waiting.
          It took you by surprise how massive the library was. Perhaps it was your bias influencing you, but you didn’t expect the Marleyans to have such a vast collection of books just sitting inside of this internment zone. The walls were littered with all kinds of colored spines and oak tables were scattered around and looked dusty from never being used. Toward the back of the room, behind several incredibly tall bookcases, you could see a desk lamp shining in the darkened room.
          Reiner must have noticed you taking in the sights, your walking pace having slowed behind him.
           “Impressed?”
           Your face whipped towards him, heat creeping up your neck as you remembered the last time he said that, he was holding his hard cock in front of you.
           You cleared your throat, “Uh, yeah. Only place like this in Paradis is in the capital.”
           “It’s a shame no one is ever here, I think Pieck is the only one who has used this library in fucking decades. These are all old history and science books that didn’t...fit with Marleyan teachings, if you catch my drift.”
           You caught up with him, weaving through the tables.
           “So, it’s everything that doesn’t fall in line with government propaganda.”
           “Yeah, more or less.”
           You admired him for a moment as he walked in front of you, all broad shoulders and proud, blonde head in his uniform. He looked fit to be a Vice Commander, even if you hadn’t thought so before.
           There was an urge to grab onto his arm, to latch on to safety in this still unfamiliar place. But you held yourself back; you didn’t want to seem too attached to him. You reasoned it was all because he had been the only stable thing, the only light in your darkness, for days on end.
           Annie and Pieck were seated at a table near the farthest wall, Pieck’s head down in her arms as she lazily flipped through a book, Annie’s arms crossed and her eyes closed like she was meditating.
           A slow, sinking feeling crawled into your chest upon seeing Annie. You’d been here weeks, yet never had the displeasure of seeing her until now. She looked about the same, long blonde hair swept into a low bun, lips in a straight, unamused line. Even with her eyes closed, she appeared to have the same put-out attitude she always did.
           You hadn’t forgotten that it was Annie who used Erwin’s own vertical movement gear blades to sever his arm.
           That thought lit a particular fire inside of your chest. You’d been trying your hardest not to think about him, didn’t want some kind of melancholy seeping into your spirit over the man you left behind. Annie wasn’t around to actually see the carnage she brought onto him. She didn’t experience the days sitting in the hospital, the sad, knowing glances that the scouts cast at one another when they caught a glimpse of the Commander struggling with his humanity after the loss of his limb. Over the years he had come to cope with the issues, but there were intimate moments you had shared with him that were ultimately shaped by the damage Annie had created.
           Then again, you couldn’t be one to judge. You’d encouraged Reiner to kill who you now knew to be Marcel Galliard, a childhood friend of all of them.
           All of you in this space had some kind of blood on your hands and bitter tastes in your mouths.
           Reiner cleared his throat as you approached them. You had half a mind to slide behind him, to hide yourself away behind his broad shoulders and back, but you stood still, eyes glancing between the two women.
           There was an awkward, pregnant pause as you all stared at one another. You’d yet to meet Pieck until now, so her demeanor was still a mystery to you. And Annie took a moment to look you up and down, letting herself become reacquainted with your presence.
           “Hmph, you look better in my clothes than I do. Figures.”
           Your eyes widened at her comment, the fact of you still wearing her clothes having escaped your thoughts until now.
           “Now, now, you don’t have to start off so passive aggressive. You were the one who wanted to meet, after all.” Pieck lifted her pretty head to speak to Annie, eyes blinking rather romantically as she placed her chin in her hand.
           “You wanted to meet with me?”
           “Well, I couldn’t avoid you forever.”
           You couldn’t help the smile spreading on your face. Seems like she hadn’t changed much after all. You’d learned how to dance around her walls before, you could easily do it again.
           “Please sit. I have something to share.”
           You and Reiner both took seats across from them at the small, rectangular table, your knees bumping together under the surface. You absentmindedly pulled the scarf he’d give you a little closer around your neck, not wanting anyone to see what was underneath. The two of you being...involved might just be something worth keeping quiet for now.
           “What is it, Pieck? You know we don’t have much time before the meeting this afternoon.” Reiner spoke to her softly, like she was something skittish. But she didn’t appear skittish, more like something gentle. Wise, perhaps, or just quiet.
           Pieck extracted a folded paper from below her book, thumbs pulling at the creases.
           “I found this not long ago in the War Chief’s office.”
           She slid the document across the table, the crumbled edges and a stain of some sort signaling that she had probably been digging through his trash.
           “What is it?” Reiner’s hand reached for it first, but she slid the paper more in your direction away from him.
           “I’m not sure, I was actually hoping our new...hm, I don’t know what to call you. Friend, perhaps? Ally, maybe. I was hoping our new ally might know what this is, it looks like something from a Paradisian company.”
           “And while we’re here
” Annie sat up a little straighter, placing her elbows on the table, “I want to know what Zeke wanted to meet with you about earlier. He called you in to speak alone, right?”
           You nodded your head, taking the heavily inked parchment into your hands.
           “You know, for him being your War Chief, you all seem to distrust him as much as I do.”
           “Our loyalty is to Marley, to our families, not to someone who abuses his power.” Pieck smiled at her own comment, small wrinkles framing her eyes.
           The paper had a name you recognized on it: Stohess Pharmaceuticals. It appeared to be a receipt of some kind, dated within the last few months. If you hadn't spent your time working in the intelligence sector, meaning that your office had been moved directly next to Hange’s, you probably wouldn’t have been able to decipher some of the items listed. There were orders for DNA sequencing equipment, a mass spectrometer, imaging systems, large glass syringes, and strangely enough...human fluids, spinal and amniotic.
           “Pieck, this document can’t be right. Stohess Pharmaceuticals was shut down about two years ago due to malpractice lawsuits. So either these dates are wrong, or this whole thing is just a front for something else.”
           The three heads around you all glanced toward one another before back to you.
           “No, we know they’re still in business, we were supposed to meet with them in that warehouse, that’s why we were there, I think to pick up whatever all that is listed.” Reiner admitted, which had your face lifting toward them all.
           “Zeke told me in our meeting that he was going there to get more arms and ammunition.”
           Annie looked particularly perplexed by your statement.
           “No, we would never cross into Paradis for arms. We have a deal with a group of Military Police to bring it directly across our border.”
           “You what? That’s how you’ve been getting them?”
           God, for working on this Zeke case for nearly a year, you felt so behind. But you couldn’t expect any less from the most elite military force in Marley. They knew how to dot their i’s and cross their t’s, they knew how to infiltrate, how to network, how to apparently slip under every radar you had.
           “Zeke told us we were picking up top-of-the-line medicine, that’s why we were all present. We had to be prepared to protect it. Hell we even had giant coolers ready for whatever it was.” Reiner was scratching at the back of his neck.
           “Well what it was,” you sat the paper back down, finger pointing to a specific listing, “wasn’t medicine. It was body fluids of some kind, for some reason. I don’t know whose or for what.”
           Annie snatched the receipt, eyes glaring at you as she began to speak, “What else happened in your meeting with Zeke?”
           “Honestly? Not much else. He had me record some bullshit for your brass. Made me state my name, my former scout positions, had me admit I wanted to help Marley because I knew of Paradis’s corruption. Overall he told me that he found me to be useless and that I needed to find a way to make myself useful.”
           All three of them seemed to scoff at once.
           “You’ve got that backwards. Marley thinks you are useless, Zeke was the only one who showed any interest in keeping you alive for some reason.” Annie’s words were irritated. Clearly she was tired of not everyone being on the same page.
           “You know,” Reiner sat back and crossed his arms, brows furrowing like he was trying to recall a memory, “now that I think about it, he seemed to know who you were the night the scouts ambushed us. When you couldn’t escape, it was like he was...excited. He made sure to knock you out before any of us could draw our weapons and he gave very specific orders that no harm was to come to you.”
           “But why me? Maybe he knew I had been one of the people working on his case? I mean, for the last year or so, it’s all Miche and I have been working on.”
           “That’s what we’re thinking,” Pieck chimed in, “but we aren’t sure. We were just hoping we could start working together to figure this out.”
           Something just didn’t feel right.
           Your whole world felt titled, shifted, like you’d been inside an hourglass and suddenly a celestial hand came and turned it upside down, allowing you to see everything from another perspective. You thought you’d found nearly all the tiles to this every growing mosaic while you were working back home. In fact, you and Erwin had managed to make some arrests in your border patrol for being in collaboration with the illegal arms trading. You knew there were still links missing as to who was getting them to the border, but you hadn’t expected it to be Military Police members. If only you could call and tell him right away, let him know more of what was happening, surely with the manpower of the scout unit they could reveal the whole picture of what was happening.
           There was too much going on for you to deal with. All you wanted was to be home, to be safe. You didn’t ask for a conspiracy.
           “If you’re asking me to divulge what I know, I hope you understand I won’t just be laying every card on the table. I might be playing nice, but don’t forget I’ve been kidnapped. My trust is on thin ice.”
           They all shook their heads knowingly. For a moment, you thought you saw Reiner’s hand twitch, like it was itching to come alive and touch you.
           “Yeah, we understand that. For what it’s worth, this whole hostage situation wasn’t our idea.”
           You narrowed your eyes at Annie, teeth gritting.
           “No, it sounds like you would’ve rather had me be dead.”
           “Would’ve made things easier.”
           You...you couldn’t fault her for that logic. Though it still stung to think about.
           Pieck sighed at the turn of the conversation, closing the book in front of her and preparing to stand. You almost did the same, but something about the tome in front of her caught your eye. It had very specific black lettering on the front, set in a font you hadn’t seen in ages.
           To the surprise of the table, you reached slowly for the thick, hardcover book, flecks of old red coloring falling onto your skin as you took it.
           “I haven’t seen this book since I was a kid. I was obsessed with it. Why are you reading it, Pieck?”
           You sat on the edge of your seat, waves of nostalgia washing over you as you began to thumb through the yellowing pages.
           “You’ve read this book before?” Pieck sounded confused, intrigued.
           “My mother had a copy of it in our house. She used to read the mythologies to me when I was little, then when I learned to read myself, I couldn’t put it down. I was fascinated by the stories of titans. I even brought the book to school one time to show my friends, but I remember distinctly getting in trouble for it. Mom said a book that old should never leave the house so it didn’t get damaged.”
           They all crowded a little closer to you, silence overtaking you all as you flipped through the contents of the book. Dust was spilling into the air with every page turn, sometimes covering the detailed artwork of mystical, giant beings.
           “Are you sure it was this book? Not one similar?”
           “I’m certain, I would recognize the cursive lettering on the front anywhere. I was quite the bookworm, I’d even take it outside to read when I was supposed to be playing.”
           Pieck’s slim fingers stopped your searching, pressing the pages down as you discovered the familiar two page spread of the chimerical nine titans of old.
           “This book isn’t common. We only have it here because it was brought in by the Tybur family, an Eldian noble family, when the Eldian immigration happened a few hundred years ago. Do you know how your family came into possession of your copy?”
           You all began to separate, sitting back in your seats.
           “I was told my mom stole it from the library in the capitol because she knew I would want to read it. I never really asked beyond that.”
           “I see.”
           Her tongue clicked behind her teeth, her phone vibrating on the table with an alarm.
           “Our meeting is soon. Thank you for your help, I’m sure we’ll be needing it again.”
           All four of you stood rather stiffly, a tension lingering in the air like there were unspoken words left hanging between you. Admittedly, you still had more questions, and you presumed they did as well. But time was precious, and you knew it was dangerous for them to be discussing such things with you.
           This kind of talk was treason for them. That hadn’t really settled in for you until you saw how quickly Pieck shoved the dirty receipt into her coat pocket and how Annie practically bolted from the back of the library already. Pieck waved to you as she left. She was slow on her feet, a slight limp holding her back.
           “If you have a meeting soon, does that mean you need to go lock me away somewhere?”
           Reiner actually looked quite hurt from your words, a frown twisting at the corner of his lips.
           You were alone again, which felt quite comforting. You’d gotten used to your space being occupied by him, felt at ease in his presence.
           He moved closer to you, warm, almost sweaty palms cupping at your cheeks, brushing hair out of your face.
           “Technically...yes, I should take you back to my room. But
”
           He felt too tall. You grabbed a hold of the labels of his jacket, trying to pull him closer.
           “But?”
           “But I think I can leave you here in the library for a bit. As long as you promise to be a good girl and not run away.”
           The way the deep timbre of his voice rumbled good girl had your stomach twisting into knots. He really was going to use that against you, wasn’t he?
           You both broke out into smiles, with Reiner leaning down to capture the corner of your mouth in a kiss since no one was around to look.
           “I hate you.”
           “I know you do.”
           He let you go, smoothing out his clothes as he turned to leave you.
           “I’m serious,” he called over his shoulder, “be in that spot when I come back. And if anyone comes around, you have the Vice Commander’s permission to be here.”
           You cocked your hip against the back of the chair, waving at him as he paused his walking for your response.
           “I’ll be a good girl, promise.”
           And with those words, you were alone for the first time in days. You’d been alone in your cell, been alone in the bathroom, but actually alone and...free? You hardly knew what that felt like.
━━━─── ‱ ───━━━
           Like you promised, you stayed in the back of the library. Reiner had been kind enough to not lock you away like some princess in a tower, so you knew better than to abuse his generosity.
           It was like heaven and hell swirling together to be completely alone with your thoughts. You didn’t know what to think anymore, a cacophony of emotions and sentiments restless in your mind.
           What the hell were you doing here? Was what you were doing really for survival, or pleasure? The weight of Reiner’s kiss was still heavy upon your mouth, like a stain you didn’t want to get rid of.
           Why did you want him?
           You knew the answer to that: you’d always wanted him, desired to break him apart and find who he really was beneath all his armor.
           Your life always seemed to circle back to him, even after all these years of you moving on from his betrayal. Maybe some sick god just liked toying with you, or maybe you were meant for another. You didn’t know. But what you did know was it felt good to be in his arms, to be under his protection.
           But you could find that same happiness with someone else
 you had found that felicity with someone else. But he...he never really crossed your mind anymore, did he? Not unless you needed him. You hadn’t even gotten emotional sending him that email last night, you were just too anxious about Reiner waking up, too busy licking your wounds from a brutal fucking you hadn’t expected but fully wanted.
           Some part of you reasoned that you were sleeping with him to use him, to make sure he was on your side. But you knew it was more than that, and that it was dangerous to let any romanticism sweep over your rational thinking. However, there was some part of you begging to take up his offer and run away together, especially after all these revelations about Zeke Yeager.
           You could run away from all this, but would your morality let you? You’d already let it grey by sleeping with the enemy, perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to jump ship and let others bear these burdens.
           You were back in your seat, that familiar, beautiful book still laid out before you.
           You hadn’t thought about the story of the nine titans, of the goddess Ymir Fritz, in what felt like a lifetime ago. Your fingertip traced over the gods of destruction, legends of old that used to permeate your daydreams and your nightmares.
           The colossal titan. The armored titan. The attack titan. The female titan. They all surrounded the feet of the founding titan, of the goddess Ymir Fritz, with her flowing hair and her commanding horn in her fist.
           For a moment you longed to be swept away into childhood fantasies again, to be far from this world and floating in ethereal daydreams where you felt like you were above the clouds.
           You’d always assumed the book your mother had given you was special, but to be one that royal families held? You hadn’t expected that. You knew that the Reiss and Fritz families of Paradis and all their sprawling branches of cousins and relations kept a tight lock and key on family heirlooms in their estates. They believed they were descendants of these people, and given how beautiful Historia Reiss was, you wouldn’t be surprised if myths turned out to be truths.
           Reiner wasn’t gone long, just about thirty minutes based on what the lonely clock on the back wall told you.
           He returned with an unparalleled grin; he looked like a little boy holding a present behind his back, even with his fists sitting in his pockets.
           “That was quick, I thought I’d get more time alone.”
           “I have news.”
           You quirked your brow at him, leaning your face into your palm as he stalked closer to the table.
           “Must be some news for you to be wearing such a smile.”
           “Apparently, General Magath was the one who received that interview Zeke recorded. And, based on your answers, he thinks you’re harmless and somehow so willing to help Marley.”
           “Well I did try to sound convincing.”
           “It worked. They’re making you a warrior candidate.”
           You felt like doing a double take at his words. The thought of you being a candidate for the elite military unit that you were actively fighting against was laughable.
           “You’re joking.”
           He shrugged, chuckling and shaking his head.
           “I still have strict orders to keep you under my supervision, so you’re not rid of me yet.”
          “To be fair,” you stood from your seat, closing the book and circling around to get closer to him, “I don’t think I’ll ever be rid of you.”
          All that tension from before seemed to be alleviated from the air, a whole new game opening up for you to partake in. He must have felt it too, that grin still creasing the soft, blonde hair around his lips.
          You knew the undeniable truth was that you didn’t want to be rid of him. At least, not yet. Not when there were so many things to explore about him, so much skin still left untouched, so much heart still left unread.
          And just like the pages on the table, you desired to be opened and read by him, to be explored by hands you had thought about far too often.
          You didn’t want to be rid of him, not when he looked down at you with golden irises painted with remorse and misery that seemed to reflect your own inner turmoils. He was like your emotional mirror, always reflecting whatever you put onto him.
          It was beguiling, but also so, so frightening.
          “I’ll protect you,” he whispered, hands finding their home again on your face.
          “I know you will.”
