[cryptidwithgreeneyes]

Would I ever want it in real life? No.

Am I giggling and kicking my feet as I read about these two men circle each other in an admittedly toxic relationship, making each other worse as they fall into each other? Absolutely I am

[tickly-trashcan]

Chives {Kyohru}

A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REQUEST i love fruits basket so so much i’ve been missing these guys so much and i missed tohru especially!!! i went with kyo bc i am a very big kyohru shipper lolol i hope you enjoy! make sure you’re drinking your water and have a lovely day/night!

Summary: Tohru’s cooking dinner, but Kyo discovers an ingredient he’d rather not have her add.

Word Count: 1k (under the cut)

It was a rather warm spring day at Shigure’s house. Tohru was cooking dinner and Kyo was watching television in the next room over. He was occasionally glancing at Tohru, noticing whenever she stopped humming to focus on cutting something or when she went, “Ta-da!” if she had done something special. 

In reality, Kyo wasn’t watching television. That was just his excuse to be nearby Tohru while she worked. Kyo chuckled to himself after watching her drop a piece of carrot. She was quick to scoop it up and put it into the compost, but she didn’t miss Kyo’s little chuckle.

“Are you laughing at me, Kyo?”

Kyo cleared his throat, averting his gaze as she turned to look at him. He shook his head, gesturing instead to the television. “No, the show is funny.”

Tohru raised an eyebrow and walked over, looking at the screen. “The news?”

Kyo flushed and folded his arms, shaking his head. “W-Well, they said something funny, alright? Stop being weird.”

Tohru giggled. “You’re the one who’s being weird, Kyo.”

“Huh?” Kyo huffed, standing up. Tohru squeaked, backing up into the kitchen. She quickly turned around and busied herself with the rice. Kyo came up behind her, putting an arm on her waist as she squeaked again, looking at him with pink cheeks.

“Kyo! Be careful. You might–”

“I know, I know. What’re you making?”

“Just some curry. It was Shigure’s request for tonight.”

Kyo grumbled, looking at the pile of chives that was sitting on the cutting board, waiting to be chopped. “And those?”

“Hmm? Oh, the chives! Those are fresh from the garden… But they’re not going into the curry, don’t worry!” She quickly added on, making Kyo hum.

“They better not be… I can’t eat chives, y’know,” Kyo mumbled, leaning his head against the crook of Tohru’s neck. She stiffened, not used to Kyo being so physical. 

Tohru huffed playfully, nudging Kyo with her elbow while she picked up the chives. Kyo cringed as she waved them near his face a bit, chuckling. “What would you do if I did put these in? They’re not poisonous.”

“If you put those in, I wouldn’t eat anything you make ever again.”

Tohru laughed. “I doubt you would be able to do that,”

Kyo grumbled. “Well, if I couldn’t eat your cooking, I’d have to eat something else.”

Tohru hummed, her attention going back to the vegetables on the cutting board. She set down the chives, about to pick up the knife to cut them when Kyo leaned closer to Tohru’s neck. He pressed his lips against her neck, then gently began to nibble. She froze, heat rushing to her cheeks as giggles immediately began to bubble up in her throat.

“Nom, nom,” Kyo said as he nibbled Tohru lightly, making her finally squeal as she began to squirm.

“Kyohoho! Dohohon’t!”

“Don’t what?”

“Dohohon’t eat mehehe! I’m not tahahasty!”

Kyo chuckled, using his hands to lightly tickle her waist as she folded against the counter, giggling profusely. “You’re tastier than those chives. And if that’s what you’re making, I’m not eating it.”

“Nohohoho! Wait– Wahahait, not thehere!”

Kyo shifted into a somewhat awkward position to avoid Tohru bumping into him. He moved beside her, still tickling her as she slowly fell down against the counter. Kyo chuckled, noticing that it was almost like she was melting into a puddle as she fell slowly to the floor.

He fell with her, tickling her sides and pinching at her hips as she squealed and laughed, turning bright red as she didn’t even try to push him away, only squirming against his offending hands. She shrieked when he started to tickle her tummy, and only then did she start to swat at his hands.

“Kyohoho! It tickles! Plehehehease, nohohoho!”

“It’s supposed to tickle. Would you prefer I tried to eat you again?”

“Nohoho! I’m not foohoohood, I’m Tohohohru!”

Kyo held back a laugh at how silly she was acting. She always ended up saying funny things whenever she got tickled, no matter who was tickling her. He scribbled his hands across her tummy, making her squeak and nearly fall over as she jolted away from him.

“Plehehease! I neeheed to– to finish dinner!” She whined, twisting away from Kyo as he went back for her sides, squeezing them as she held onto his wrists to try and pry them away.

Kyo huffed in resignation and pulled his hands away. “Alright, I’ll cut you some slack. But only because you’re making dinner.”

Tohru wheezed as Kyo let go of her, gently rubbing her back as she still giggled softly, twitching when his hand ran too close to her sides. She turned her head to look at him, trying to muster up a glare. Her glare was pointless, though, because her cheeks were flushed pink and her lips were stuck in a goofy grin.

“I’m gonna have to put extra chives in your serving now, Kyo!”

“What?! No you’re not!”

Tohru laughed, squealing when Kyo squeezed her hips suddenly. “Ohohokay! I wohohon’t add any chives! No more tickles!”

He helped her up and she dusted off her apron. She sighed happily before going back to the vegetables, but Kyo didn’t leave her side as she continued to work. “You don’t have to watch to make sure I don’t add the chives, Kyo. I promise I won’t!”

Kyo hummed, laying his head on her shoulder. “Thank you, Tohru.”

He tilted his head and pressed a light kiss against her neck, making her stiffen. She quickly busied herself, sputtering. “Stop kissing me there, it tickles!”

Kyo chuckled, pulling his head away as he rubbed her head. “It’s not my fault. You’re just too ticklish.”

Tohru whined and grabbed the bundle of chives again, making Kyo shriek. She laughed as she waved it in his face, making him jerk away as he tried to avoid them. She set them down and went back to dinner as Kyo stood next to her, occasionally offering to help. The two of them chatted while she cooked, giggling and sneaking a few more ticklish kisses.

Maya: HUAAH, that was awesome!

{Caption: Turnabout Samurai—First Trial}

Maya: Samurai…Hurricane! Whoops! 

Phoenix: Uah…

Maya: Didn’t realize you were here.

Phoenix [muffled]: Of course I’m here.

Phoenix: What was that crazy show you were just watching?

Maya: Huh? You gotta be kidding me! Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo! Us younguns love it.

Phoenix: You mean teenagers like to watch it?

Maya: Hm…more like kids.

Phoenix: Yeah, if it’s for little kids, then why are you so hyped up about it?

Maya: Because I’m a kid at heart, I guess.

Phoenix’s thoughts: Good for you, but I’ve gotta worry about bills like an adult. And we haven’t gotten a single client this month. Ehum…

(Maya: Nom nom nom! Nom nom nom! Nom nom nom! Nom nom nom!)

Maya: Steel Samurai: warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo! 

(Phoenix: Uah!)

Phoenix: A superhero…takes me back.

(Maya: Your evil ends tonight! Eat my steel! Say what?)

Phone: Ring! Ring!

Phoenix: Eum, huam…

Phone: Ring!

Maya: Oh my gosh, this is horrible, Nick! Turn on the TV right now! 

Phoenix: Euh euh…euahah…what happened? It’s way too early to be screaming in my ear.

Maya: It’s the Steel Samurai! He’s in trouble! They’re saying he killed a bad guy!

Phoenix: So what? Isn’t that kinda what he’s supposed to do? 

Maya: Well, yeah, on the show!

Phoenix: Okay, relax, I’m turning on the TV.  

{Caption #1: Morning News}

{Caption #2: Steel Samurai Accused of Murder}

TV Reporter [from TV]: Shock and controversy rocks the children’s television world as popular superhero The Steel Samurai is arrested for murdering a costar.

(Phoenix: Duah!)

{Caption #1: Superhero Murders Evil Villain?}

{Caption #2: Was the Samurai Spear the Weapon?}

{Caption #3: Jack Hammer, Evil Magistrate in Steel Samurai}

Reporter [from TV]: The victim is 37 year old television and film veteran Jack Hammer, who played the Evil Magistrate on the show. According to police reports…

Phoenix’s thoughts: A guy who pretends to be a hero…kills another guy who pretends to be a bad guy? 

(Reporter [from TV]: …the murder weapon was the very spear the Steel Samurai wields)

Maya: There’s no way! He’d never kill anyone! This must be a publicity stunt! 

(Reporter [from TV]: Keeping young children at home the day…)

Phoenix: Uh, yeah, that’s probably it.

(Reporter [from TV]: …after Will Powers, who portrayed the Steel Samurai…)

Maya: I know! Listen! This is gonna be Wright and Company’s very first case! 

(Reporter [from TV]: …for many years, and his virtue was beloved by many young and old)

Phoenix: Uahah!

(Reporter [from TV]: But it seems his next appearance…) 

Maya: We’re gonna defend The Steel Samurai!

(Reporter [from TV]: …will be in front of a judge…)

Phoenix: Uah!

(Reporter [from TV]: We can only hope, as…)

{Sign on door: Wright & Co. Law Offices}

Phoenix: What?!

Reporter [from TV]: …justice will be served.

{Caption #2: Detention Center}

{Caption: Accused | Steel Samurai | Will Powers}

Maya: Is that monster really him?

Phoenix: Euah! That monster’s Will Powers; he’s also our client.

Maya: I probably shouldn’t say this…but he…looks guilty.

Phoenix: You definitely shouldn’t say that.

Powers: Uh…

Maya: AUH!

(Phoenix: Euh!)

Phoenix: Yeah?! What?!

Powers: You’ve come here because you’re gonna help defend me, right? Uah, I’m just so grateful for your help. Thank you! Uah, I mean it!

Maya: AAH!

(Phoenix: Auh!)

Phoenix: Please, have a seat, Mr. Powers.

Powers: Yeah. Sorry about that. I know I look like a monster, so I decided when I was cast as the Steel Samurai that I would never show my real face out in public ‘cause I didn’t wanna ruin everything for the kids. I wanted them to believe!

Phoenix: Duah!

(Maya: Oh!)

(Powers: Geh geh…)

Powers: But now that this has happened, they’re gonna hate The Steel Samurai. It’ll break their little hearts! Wehwehgeh…

Maya: Powers really is a good guy.

(Powers: …wehwehweh!)

Phoenix: Yeah. I can see.

(Powers: Wehwehweh!)

Maya: I know: he’s innocent!

(Powers: Wehwehweh…)

Phoenix: Ehum!

(Powers: Wehwehweh…)

Phoenix: Mr. Powers. Can you tell us what took place the day of the crime?

Powers: Uh, yeah. Let me think…we spent most of the morning working on fight choreography. We broke for lunch. Then I took a nap. But I ended up oversleeping, so I was late for the afternoon rehearsal. I hurried back to the studio, and when I got there, everyone was freaking out. They’d found Jack dead; it was awful. He was wearing the Evil Magistrate costume and…and he had the Samurai Spear sticking out of his chest.   

Phoenix: The Samurai Spear?

Maya: It’s what he uses to fight evil. You know, the spear he’s always carrying around?

Phoenix: No, I don’t know. 

Powers: I was in shock. I could barely move, and before I knew it, they were arresting me for Jack’s murder. 

Maya: Don’t worry! ‘Cause we’re gonna clear your name! Right?! Aren’t we, Nick?! 

Phoenix: Ehum! We’ll start at the studio.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Caption #1: May 10, a certain time}

{Caption #2: Global Studios}

Maya: AUAH! I can’t believe we’re actually here! Oh wow, aren’t you excited? 

Oldbag: What are you doing?!

(Phoenix: Euh!)  

Oldbag: If you want inside the studio…you’re gonna have to go through me. As head of security…

{Caption: Global Studios Security Guard | Wendy Oldbag}

Oldbag: …it’s my job to make sure slack jawed gawkers stay out.

Phoenix: Actually, ma’am, we’re here---

Oldbag: I bet you heard about what happened here at the studio and decided to snoop around, didn’t you? Kids these days are always sticking their noses in things. Way back when I was your age, it was a different world. You should’ve seen me; I was quite the knockout in my prime, you better believe it! Poor Jack Hammer deserves to rest in peace, so I won’t stand for folks like you…

Phoenix: You’ve got the wrong idea. I’m defending… 

(Oldbag: …poking around and trying to find some kind of dirt on him!)    

Phoenix: …Will Powers, so we came here to investigate.  

Oldbag: That’s just a cheap knock-off. 

Phoenix: It’s the real thing!

Oldbag: Oh please, I saw one just like it at the corner store. Well, look here, young buck, the badge I’m wearing is real and it says you gotta keep out unless I say you can come in! I oughta bend you over my knee and give you a good hard spanking for trying to pull one over on an old lady like me!

(Gumshoe: Nom! Nom nom nom nom nom, mm mm! Slurp…huah…)

Oldbag: That’s right, just take off my belt and give you an old fashioned thrash!

Gumshoe: Enough with all the RACKET! 

Maya: AAH!

(Gumshoe: AAAAAHH!)

Gumshoe: What’re the two of you doing here?!

Maya: It’s Detective Gumtree!

Phoenix: Actually, his name is Gumfoot.

Gumshoe: No! Both of you are wrong! For crying out loud, my name’s Detective Dick GUMSHOE! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sal: Hehe, heheuaugh, hehehe, hehehe, hehe, hehe…

Vasquez: Can’t I have some quiet?

(Sal: …hehehe, hehe, heauh, heheheheauh…)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Caption: District Police | Detective | Dick Gumshoe}

Gumshoe: So you’re gonna try to defend Will Powers in his murder trial. 

Maya: That’s right! Well, sorry to break it to ya, but that guy’s guiltier than the cat who ate the dang canary! Take a look at this, pal. Before the murder, everybody at the studios that day…

{Text on blueprint #1: Front Gate}

{Text on blueprint #2: Gate}

{Text on blueprint #3: Dressing Room}

{Text on blueprint #4: Staff Area}

Gumshoe: …was over here, and the victim was found all the way over here.

{Text on blueprint #1: Studio 1}

{Text on blueprint #2: Studio 2}      

Gumshoe: So whoever jacked Hammer had to go through this part of the lot right next to the security station.

Oldbag: And the only one that passed this way was Will Powers. Nobody sneaks by me!

Maya: ‘Kay, so what do you make of all of this? I hate to say it, but if he’s the only one that she saw, maybe he did it.  

Cody: Ehuah!

Oldbag: AAUAH! IT’S A TRESPASSER; CATCH HIM!

Phoenix: Uh, that kid there?

Oldbag: You’re supposed to be a cop, right? GO! 

Gumshoe: You talkin’ to me?

Phoenix: You’re the only cop here!

Cody: Aw, dream on! You’ll never catch me! 

Phoenix: HEAH!

Gumshoe: Hm! 

Cody: Heuh, uhm!

(Gumshoe: Huah!)

(Phoenix: Heah!)

Phoenix, Gumshoe: Hm? DUAAGGHH!  

Cody: Guah! Ha! Hehe, serves you right!

Oldbag: WHAT?! Back in my day, a man protected a lady! Uhegh!

(Phoenix: Heuagh…)

Cody: Eh! 

{Text on book cover: Steel Samurai Path to Glory}

Maya: Steel Samurai Path to Glory? Huh…woah! So cool! 

Phoenix: This kid must be a superfan. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gumshoe: Uaugh…I’m gonna be feelin’ that one for the rest of the week.  

Maya: So, uh, Detective, we’re gonna need to interview everyone here. 

Phoenix: Powers told us he was taking a nap inside his dressing room.

{Text on banners: Welcome}

Phoenix: Someone might’ve seen him there. 

Gumshoe: Well…feel free to poke around as much as you want. We, the prosecution team, have thoroughly investigated everyone and everything here. You may have won your last trial, but that was just a fluke. This is a totally different case. Edgeworth will show you why he’s the biggest dog of law enforcement. He’s gonna eat your lunch, brother.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Von Karma: Victory after victory…it’s truly been impressive.

Edgeworth: Thank you, sir. 

Von Karma: That being said, it does make your defeat more vexing. 

Edgeworth: I humbly apologize.

Von Karma: Cast your feelings aside. The only justice…is conviction.  

Edgeworth: I understand, Mr. Von Karma. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Text on sign: Courthouse}

Maya: Well, that was interesting, but…we didn’t find anything.

Phoenix: Yeah. A nap is a pretty weak alibi. 

Maya: If Powers ends up getting convicted, I’ll tear you to pieces with a Samurai Hurricane!  

Phoenix: Uhuhah! If you do that, who’s gonna be around to defend you, Maya? 

{Caption #1: May 12, 10 AM}

{Caption #2: District Court--Courtroom No. 4}

{Caption: Judge}

Judge: This court is hereby in session for the trial of Will Powers.

{Caption: Prosecutor | Miles Edgeworth}

Edgeworth: The prosecution is ready to begin, Your Honor.

{Caption: Defense Attorney | Phoenix Wright}

Phoenix: The defense is also ready to begin, Your Honor.   

Phoenix’s thoughts: I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to face him again so soon. 

Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you may proceed with your opening statement.  

Edgeworth: The prosecution will prove that on May 9th, Will Powers murdered fellow actor Jack Hammer at Global Studios. All the evidence we have points to him as the culprit. And we’ll prove his guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt. Detective.

Gumshoe: Allow me to present the facts of the case. On the day of the murder, the only people at the studio were Powers, Hammer, and the production staff.

{Text on blueprint #1: Studio 1}

{Text on blueprint #2: Front Gate} 

{Text on blueprint #3: Studio 2}

{Text on blueprint #4: Gate}

{Text on blueprint #5: Dressing Room}

{Text on blueprint #6: Staff Area}

Gumshoe: At noon, they all gathered in this area here. Autopsy has time of death at approximately 2:30 p.m. The security guard clearly saw the defendant heading to the crime scene before that time, and she maintains that no other person passed by the station until the body was found at 5 p.m.

Powers: Uwah!  

Edgeworth: At this time, we shall call upon the studio’s security guard to take the stand. 

{Caption: Witness Testimony}

Edgeworth: Your name, madam?

Oldbag: I can’t refuse a handsome man! I’ll tell you anything you want to know!

Edgeworth: Uwah! Name, please.

Oldbag: You’re just precious when you blush like that. Call me Granny. Mwah!

Edgeworth: Name, please!

Oldbag: Wendy Oldbag. But you can call me whatever floats your boat, sweetie. You won’t believe what I’ve been called over the years. Kids can be so cruel! When I was young, the captain of the chess club, who I loved madly, called me “old hag”! I still cry about that one from time to time!  

Edgeworth: YOUR HONOR! I object to the witness’ garrulousness!   

Judge: Objection sustained. I’ll ask the witness to please stay on topic. 

Oldbag: I was just getting to the good part, grr.

Maya: Not even Miles Edgeworth can handle this lady.

Phoenix’s thoughts: I’m not sure I can, either. 

{Caption: Cross Examination}

Phoenix: Are you absolutely certain you saw the defendant pass by?

Oldbag: Oh yeah. I was superbly guarding the front from 1 to 5 p.m. without so much as a single potty break. Around two o’ clock, I saw Will Powers murderously approaching the studio. 

Phoenix: And there is no doubt in your mind it was truly him?

Oldbag: My eyesight is 20/20 if you add up both my eyes.

Phoenix: That’s not how it works.

Oldbag: There’s photographic evidence. Hey! Scruffy McTrenchcoat, show ‘em the picture!

Gumshoe: My name is Gumshoe! You weren’t even close, old hag!

Judge: Please share this with the court, Detective.

Gumshoe: Right. There’s a security camera installed here. It has a sensor that detects anyone crossing the gate and takes a picture.    

Oldbag: Part of my job is to carefully check the photos every day.  

Maya: Hold on, we haven’t heard about these photographs before, have we?

Phoenix: No.

Phoenix’s thoughts: If it shows Powers crossing that gate, that could definitely mean a guilty verdict. 

Judge: Detective. Please put it on the monitor. 

Maya: Eh?

Phoenix: What the…

Judge: What exactly are we looking at?

{Text on photo” May 9, 2 PM Photo No. 2}

{Caption: Objection!}

Phoenix: OBJECTION! How does this prove it was Powers?!

Oldbag: How?! Because we’re all looking at a picture of him. Right, cutie?

Edgeworth: It is.   

Judge: Uh, well, I suppose it could be him.

Phoenix: It’s a picture of the character he plays. But we simply can’t prove that’s him wearing the costume in this photograph!

{Caption: Objection!}

Edgeworth: OBJECTION! Despite your assertion, that is indeed Powers in the picture. Ask the witness.

Oldbag: Most definitely! 

Phoenix: Uah!

Oldbag: Look! See how he’s dragging his leg? The left one has something wrong with it.   

Phoenix: Uh…his leg?

{Caption: Testimony}

Oldbag: While they were rehearsing the fight choreography that morning, Powers fell and sprained his ankle pretty bad. Everyone saw it happen. He even broke one of the props when he fell! It was a huge mess.

Phoenix: When you say “everyone”, who do you mean?

Oldbag: Well…Powers was there, of course. Poor, sweet Jack Hammer, too. I was there to observe, and, uh…uaugh! 

Phoenix: Eum? Was there someone else?

Oldbag: No, nobody else. It was just the three of us that day.  

Maya: That’s weird. She just bit her tongue for some reason.  

Phoenix: Powers. He broke a prop when he fell?

Oldbag: Yeah. He really did a number on the Samurai Spear.

{Caption: Testimony}

Oldbag: Luckily, I was there with my trusty old duct tape to fix it.   

Phoenix, Maya: Duct tape?

Oldbag: I taped that thing up real good! 

Judge: And during that incident is when the defendant injured his left ankle. Is that correct?

Oldbag: Yes, sir, it is, and that’s why he’s dragging it in the picture there. He was having trouble walking. 

Judge: Yes, I see that. 

Maya: Aw man. Stupid old hag!

Phoenix: Uah! Wait. One question! 

Oldbag: Yes?

Phoenix: That day, the only person that passed by your station was the Steel Samurai?

{Caption: Objection!}

Edgeworth: OBJECTION! The witness has already answered that question. I insist that the defense stop badgering her at once.

Oldbag: I love a man that stands up for a lady! 

Maya: Yep. She’s nuts.

Phoenix: Can you explain this? 

{Text on photo: May 9, 2 PM Photo No. 2}

Phoenix: The stamp at the bottom says “May 9th, 2 PM, Photo No. 2”. So that means there was one taken before.

Oldbag: Yeah…but I deleted the earlier one.   

Maya: What?! Why did you do that?!

Oldbag: Another part of the job is to erase any innocuous photos. I do it every single day.  

Phoenix: Is that so? Will you tell us who was in the first photograph?

Oldbag: Just a fanboy.

Judge, Maya: Fanboy?    

Oldbag: The Steel Samurai has some diehard fans, including this annoying, snot-nosed kid.

{Caption: Testimony}

Oldbag: The drain near the office connects to the outside…and this pest is always sneaking in. 

Cody [flashback]: Heum!

Maya: Wait, a kid? Is it the same one we saw?

Oldbag: Yeah! That little rat, always sneaking around! 

Phoenix: As I remember…he looked to be in probably second or third grade. 

Gumshoe: By the way, the Samurai Spear weighs about 35 pounds. A grade schooler would have a pretty hard time picking it up like a weapon.

Edgeworth: Are you really accusing an innocent little boy of murder? I cannot believe you’d stoop so low.

Phoenix: Because I never said that. 

Oldbag: See? The picture was completely unrelated, so that’s why I decided to delete it.  

Edgeworth: The only other person spotted at the studio was a child. The boy’s not a suspect. So therefore, the only one who could have committed the murder is Will Powers. 

Powers: Guwah!

Edgeworth: The prosecution rests, Your Honor. And I formally request a verdict of “guilty”.

Powers: No, I swear I didn’t kill him!

Judge: Hm…

Maya: Come on, Nick! We can’t let this happen! 

Phoenix: There’s gotta be something. Somebody else. If we can just find any other possible suspect…we’d be able to buy ourselves a little more time. 

Maya: Right! So we gotta go for broke! We name someone else that was there!

Phoenix: Yeah, but who the heck would that be? 

Phoenix’s thoughts: Who could have put on the Steel Samurai costume and limped over to the studio at two o’ clock that afternoon?

Judge: So…this court finds the defendant, Mr. Will Powers---

{Caption: Objection!}

Phoenix: OBJECTION! We know there was another person on the lot! They could have committed the murder! Not just Powers.

Edgeworth: Such a pathetic attempt. Tell us, who would that be?

Phoenix: That person is…well…uh…

Maya: Ehumah!

Phoenix: …Wendy Oldbag!

Edgeworth: Uah!

Maya: Uah!

Judge: Uah!

Oldbag: WHAT?! THAT’S CRAZY!

Phoenix: In this picture, the Steel Samurai is dragging their leg, so whomever was wearing this costume would have to know about the injury sustained earlier. That leaves one person besides Hammer and Powers. Who was it? It was you, Oldbag! 

Oldbag: Uah! 

Phoenix: She was standing guard all by herself at the main gate. So no one can back up her alibi. She could have left her post, put on the costume, and walked by the gate, thus triggering the camera!   

Oldbag: Grr…you dare call me a murderer?! This is how you repay me, boy?!

Phoenix: I don’t recall owing you anything. That means we must further investigate this possibility.   

Oldbag: Grr…GRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH…

(Maya: Aahah!)

Oldbag: …RAAAAAAGGGHH…

(Phoenix: Ehum!)

Judge: Order! Order in this court!

(Oldbag: …RAAAAAAAGGGHHH!)

Judge: Now, defense. Do you have any idea why she would put on the costume in the first place?

Phoenix: It’s simple, Your Honor: the security camera. She knew crossing the gate would result in a picture. It was part of her job, after all. Wearing the costume was the only way to hide her identity.     

Judge: Yes, that’s true. Excellent deductive reasoning. It seems that it would be best to adjourn the trial for further investigation. Prosecutor Edgeworth.

Edgeworth: Your Honor?

Judge: We should take the old hag---uah, I mean, Miss Oldbag, into custody at once. She needs to be interrogated.

Edgeworth: The prosecution sees no need to rush the verdict. Consider it done.  

Maya: Uh, so what now?

Phoenix: I do feel bad for her, but this is the only way I could think of to buy us another day.

Judge: That is all. Court is hereby adjourned!  

{Caption: Objectionnnnnnnnn!}

Oldbag: OBJECTIOOOOOONNNNN! Huah…huah…huah…you think I’d stand here while you accuse me of murder?! No way. In fact, I’m finally gonna start talking!

Judge: What does that mean?

Edgeworth: Explain yourself.

Oldbag: There’s something major that I was told to keep mum about.  

Phoenix: What? Seriously?

Edgeworth: Is that so?

Oldbag: Yeah! You’d better listen and listen good! No one tells me to shut up! So I won’t hide it anymore! I SAW MORE PEOPLE THAT DAY!

Phoenix: Uah!

(Crowd: Huah!)

Maya: WHAAAAAA?!

Edgeworth: ABSURD! Why wasn’t I told about this?! 

Phoenix’s thoughts: Looks like this trial is just getting underway.

genre: angst, fluff

—

You and your son were waiting in line for some ice cream, he heard the ice cream truck and asked to get some, of course you agreed since it was so hot outside. “Hello,” you greeted the man in the ice cream truck. “Hi, what can I get for you today?” He asks and you hum. “I think I’ll get vanilla. What do you want, baby?” You ask your three year old. “Can I get the brown one?”

The man chuckles and nods before heading back into his truck to get the ice creams. “Okay, here you two are! It’ll be five bucks.” You hand the man a five dollar bill before bidding your goodbyes.

“Y/n?” You turn your head to the direction where your name was called. “Oh, Mark? Taeil?” You’re shocked to see your olds friends standing in line, waiting to order their ice creams. “So it is you! Hyung, you owe me twenty bucks,” Taeil rolls his eyes at the youngster and nods.

“Anyways, how’ve you been? It’s been so long!” The young boy cheers. “I’ve—,” you feel your dress get tugged on. “Mommy, who are they?” Your son asks, hiding behind you. “These.. um,” you look back at Mark and taeil. “They are my friends from a long time ago.” You smile at the two men in front of you.

“Wait, your a mom now? Wow!” Mark covers his mouth in shock. “Mark, youre too loud.” Taeil tells him, Mark apologizes and lowers his voice. “Uh, yeah.. I’m a mom now.” Mark crouches down and holds a fit out to your son. “Hi, buddy! I’m mark!” Your son tilts to the side to look at Mark. He looks up at you who just smiles down at him. “I’m Sungchan.” Your son quietly introduces himself and hi-fives Marks fist.

“Nice to meet you, sungchan.” Mark giggles at the three year olds shyness. “Where are you guys off to?” Taeil asks while Mark tried to start a conversation with the three year old. “Just back to the park, what about you guys?” You point to the park that had no people. “Well, we came here to get some ice cream for us and the others, so we’re headed back.. over there.”

He points to a place behind the cars that were all parked and lined up. “Oh, who’s all over there with you guys? Maybe I’ll come with and say hello to them.” You smile at him, thinking about the others that you hadn’t seen either. “Well, there’s taeyong, Jeno, yuta, Doyoung, and Johnny.” He lists them out, you pause at the last name.

“O—oh, um, actually I think me and Sungchan are just gonna head home after this.” You hug Sungchan to your leg. “Oh, well. Here, how about we swap numbers so you can come over tonight? I mean, we are throwing a little party.” You think about it, what could go wrong with reuniting with some old friends?

“Sure! I mean, it’s been years since we’ve all talked and seen each other, so why not?” He laughs a little and pulls his phone out. You and him swap numbers before you and Sungchan left home.

Mark and Taeil walk back to the little group with ice cream cones in their hands. “Okay, take your ice creams! Me and Taeil have to tell you guys who we just met.” They all take their ice cream and wait for Mark to continue.

“We bumped into y/n at the ice cream truck, she looks better than ever!” Mark announces with a giggle.

——

Later that night, Taeil had texted you, telling you to come over for a bit. You got worried and asked if you could bring Sungchan, he said yes and that he didn’t mind.

You got Sungchan out of the car and knocked on the door. The door swings open and you see Mark at the door. “Aye! You actually came!” He gasps when he sees the three year old standing besides you. “Ahh! Sungchan!” He giggles and starts to jump. “Hi, Mark.” You giggle at how excited he was to see your son.

Mark shuts the door after letting the two of you in. “Are you hungry? Yeah, okay. Why don’t you go play with uncle Mark while mommy grabs you some food, yeah?” Your son nods and looks up at Mark. “Let’s go!” Sungchan grabs Marks hand and allows Mark to take him to the basement.

You sigh and start looking around for the kitchen. “Oh,” you find the kitchen filled with food that they had just barbecued. You hum and start looking for plates, paper plates are sitting on the counter which you grabbed. You filled with plate up with some chicken and rice. You reheat the cold food and while waiting a voice scares you.

“Y/n?” Oh, you knew that voice, you knew it well.

You turned around to see your ex lover standing in shock by the door frame. “Johnny, hi.” You inhale sharply. “Is.. is that your kid?” He points behind him.

- few moments ago -

Johnny sighs and opens the bathroom door. “Yo! Watch out, man!” Mark yells and pushes the tall man back into the bathroom. “Woah, who’s kid is that?” Johnny asks pointing to the three year old.

“Mhm.” You nod confirming his question. “Oh, well, how’ve you been—?”

beep, beep, beep.

The microwave saves the awkward moment. “I’ve been good, how about you?” You grab the food out of the microwave. “I’ve been.. good too.” He nods and tucks his hands in his pockets. “That’s good. Can you show me where the basement is?” He nods and gestures you to follow him.

Entering the basement, you could see your son playing with Mark. “Oh, my god! Y/n? It’s been so long!” Jungwoo gasps and sits up, running over to you and hugging you. “Hi Jungwoo!” You giggle and pst his back as he swayed you back and forth. “Gosh! So that baby must be yours, huh?” You nod and scrunch your face up. “Okay, well I see you have a plate of food so, go on.”

You walk over to Mark and Sungchan who are playing with some action figures. “Channie, come eat food.” You sit down and place the plate down. “Okay, mommy.” He crawls over to you and sits in front of you. “Here, ahh.” You open your mouth and so does he. “Omm, nom nom nom.” Your son giggles at your food noises.

——

After feeding your son, your son got tired and wanted to go home. “Hey guys, me and Sungchan are gonna head home. He’s getting really tired and cranky.” The guys frown and whine, not wanting you to leave just yet. “I’ll see you guys next time, okay?” Mark walks you to your car with Sungchan in his arms.

“Okay, bye y/n. Drive safe, alright?” You giggle and nod. “I’m not that bad of a driver, Mark. But yes, don’t worry. Goodnight Mark, don’t drink too much.” He laughs and nods. “Okay, mom,” he jokes, “goodbye channie, see you soon! Bye buddy!” He waves the little boy off before running back inside as you drove off.

——

For days your son had begged you nonstop if he could spend the night at Marks, and honestly, you didn’t know if Mark would be up for it or if he would be able to take care of your three year old. “Okay, I’ll call uncle Mark to see if he lets, okay?” The three year old cheers and nods.

You pick up your phone and start calling Mark.

“Hey, what’s up y/n?” The man sounded so lively. “Hi Mark, can I ask you something?” The boy nods and hums. “Okay, so lately Sungchan had been asking and begging for me to let him sleep at your place, so is it alright if Sungchan sleeps at your place? For like, a day?”

The man on the other line freaks. “Dude, of course! Send me your address I’ll come pick him up.” You giggle at his excitement, him and Sungchan are growing up as best friends. “Alright, ill send it.” The other line goes silent, bitch hung up.

“Channie! Go get ready! Uncle Mark is coming to pick you up!” The little boy cheers and runs into his room, quickly packing some of his toys and some clothes.

“Im ready, mommy!” He says with his backpack on and his shoes on the wrong way. “Good job, baby! Let’s go wait for uncle Mark outside, yeah?” He nods and runs towards the front door.

You and him are outside, youre sitting on the steps while he sat next to you. “It’s a pretty day, isn’t it?” Your son nods and looks at the flowers that were planted by the big tree in front of your house, it had a swing on it from your childhood.

A car pulls up and you grab Sungchan hand. “Oh, it’s uncle mark.” You let his hand go as he slowly walks down the stairs and then runs to his uncle. “Uncle Mark!” He jumps into the mans arms and makes the older man giggle. “Hey buddy!” He lifts up the three year old and looks over at you, who is walking towards them.

“Hey Mark, take good care of my baby, okay? He’s the only one I’m having.” Mark and you laugh, but soon after he nods. “Hey y/n?” You look in the car to see Johnny sitting in the passenger seat. “Oh, hey Johnny, didn’t see you.” He slightly laughs and then looks back in his lap. “Alright, ready to go, buddy?” The three year old nods.

“You go and be good, okay? If someone tells me you were being a bad boy, then you don’t get to go back to uncle Marks, got it?” The little on nods. “Okay, give mommy a kiss.” You turn your head and point to your cheek. You pull away when you feel his little lips press against it. “Okay, bye bye, baby.” You ruffle his hair. “Bye mommy!”

——

Later that night, you had ran to that store for some food and bumped into someone very attractive. You and him swapped numbers and starts going on dates after that. While on those dates, Mark would babysit for you, you offered to pay him for every time he watch your son but he didn’t accept it.

Tonight was a rainy night, you and jaehyun couldn’t go on a date so you both decided to stay in with Sungchan.

- a little recap of their night -

“Happy 8 month anniversary, babe.” Jaehyun says and clinks his wine glass with yours. “Happy 8 months, baby.” You take a small swig. “Mommy, happy happy day.” Sungchan holds up his cup of apple juice. “Aww, happy happy day, baby.” You giggled and clinked your cup with his.

——

It was so late and the rain made the three of you guys so sleepy, so the three of you ended up sleeping early.

A sudden faint knock could be heard from the living room. You sit up frantically, another knock. “Who the f.. it’s so late..” you groan and get out of bed, making your way down to the front door with a bat in your hand.

“Johnny?” You see Johnny standing in front of your door all soaked, he looked.. intoxicated. “Y/n..” he slurred and wobbled, he couldn’t even hold himself up. “Johnny, it’s late, what are you doing in front of my door at this time?” He laughs but it sounded broken. “I.. I miss you so much..”

he was just drunk talking, you said to yourself.

“Johnny, should I call Mark—?” He quickly shakes his head. “No, please don’t. If you do then he’ll yell at me.” You sigh, the cold breeze making your legs shiver. “I just miss you so much, I miss holding you at night, I miss the way you kissed me, please just take me back—“ you stopped his rambling, his drunk rambling.

“No, johnny, you don’t get to do this! I’ve finally healed after 4 years of our break up. I was so heartbroken that you cheated on me with some random chick from the bar. I was so hurt that you hid it from me and that I had to find out from Renjun and Chenle. This ain’t fair, johnny!” He laughs and nods. “He’s my son, isn’t he?” Great, a new topic.

“So what if he is? It doesn’t matter anymore, you were never in the picture anyway so why does it matter?” He looks up at you. “He’s my son—“ you shake your head. “No he isn’t, he isn’t. He may have your blood but he isn’t your son.” Silence took over, all that could be heard was the raining showering. “Just leave, please? I don’t want to ever see you again.” He steps closer with tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Y/n, please let’s just talk—“ the door opens wider. “She said to leave.” Johnny looks at the man besides you and then back at you. “Alright, I’m sorry..” Johnny turns back around and walks out of your property.

Jaehyun closes the door shut and is immediately taken into your embrace. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.” He shakes his hand and taps on your thigh, telling you to jump, so you do. “It’s okay, let’s just go back to bed.” He says carrying you back up to your room.

[pixy-stix-art]

Idk if anyone else has asked, but I’d be like to see the first time naga!Tommy nommed Wilbur, if that’s alright?

Here’s the angsty naga noms I was talking about and completely forgot to actually write….sorry if you didn’t want something this angsty anon. But as I was writing I just kept adding warnings. Sorry not sorry.

This is part two to another story I wrote. This takes place like a month or two before the other one.

(Warnings: safe vore, mouth play, fearplay, swearing, talk of death, thinking one is going to die, talk of not safe vore, panic attack, minor injury)

———————————————————————

Willbur ran through the woods sweat dripping down his face. He looked back to see he was still being fallowed. He was, trees were being torn down behind him. He yelled as he almost his a tree when he looked forwards again. He stumbled into a clearing, his legs were going to give out he thought. He tried running through the clearing to get out of direct sight, but he wasn’t quick enough. A giant pale hand reached from him from the trees. He screamed only just dodging the clawed hand. He had to get out of here! He was so tired and he knew he was only being played with. He was almost tempted to just give up, but he know he would die if he did. He didn’t want to die. He screamed as yet another giant hand reached for him.

He had been trying to get to Tommy’s cave. A young naga he had meet a few weeks ago. He had first thought Tommy was going to kill him. But the red naga only seemed to want a friend. So he talked to the kid for a few hours and he was let go. He had gotten more curious and had gone back to find Tommy. He got lost and Tommy found him. He seemed surprised that Willbur had come back to see him. He spent the night in Tommy’s cave. He started to actually like the giant naga. So he kept coming back much to Tommy’s surprise. And today was supposed to be like any other meet up. But he had been found by another even bigger naga on his way there. This one was green and had made it very clear what he wanted to do with Willbur.

Willbur gasped for air as he was picked up in a tight fist. He struggled as much as he could. But it wasn’t going to do anything. He was going to die. He was pulled close to the green nagas mouth and screamed as a forked tongue slipped out to taste him.

“Mmhmm… very nice.” They naga smiled. “You taste even better then you smell.” The naga purred.

“N-no! Don’t eat me!” He got one arm free from the grip. He tried pushing the nagas face away from him. He only succeed in getting his arm licked more. “Let me go!” He screamed, his voice already sore.

“I don’t think I will little snack.” The naga smiled showing off all their sharp fangs in front of Willbur.

“N-no! The village will know I’m missing and come after you! W-with swords and hunters!” He yelled. “You can’t kill me!”

“You think some little humans scare me? Just more snacks to me.” He brought Willbur even closer to his mouth. So he could feel the hot humid breath wash over him.

“You can’t just-” Willbur was cut off as he was shoved half way into the nagas mouth. He yelled as he felt sharp teeth clamp down on his waist. He kicked his feet a little so scared to move much. Or he’d cut in half. He push trying to force open the mouth. His arm slipped on the slick surface, he cut his arm on a sharp fang. He long tongue instantly curled around the injury tasting his blood. He sobbed, pretty sure he was having a panic attack. He realized he’s not going home tonight. The wet tongue curled around him coating him in thick saliva. He had lost all his energy to fight back long ago. All he could do was lay limp as he was sucked on like he was a piece of candy.

“I caught it, it’s mine.” They green naga said.

“It was in my territory, so by the rules it’s mine to eat. Unless you want me to tell the grand counsel how you are disobeying the rules Dream.” Tommy said firmly.

Willbur froze hearing Tommy call him a it. And mention how he was going to eat him. His panic riddled mind couldn’t fully figure the rest of it out. Counsel? What was that? All he knew was that he now had two nagas wanting to eat him. One of which he thought had been a friend….

Willbur whimpered as apparently Dream, as the green naga was called, growled at being told to hand Willbur over.

“You won’t.” Dream said glaring at the younger.

“You know I will. And you know Phil will listen to me.” Tommy threaten. He looked a little smug about it too.

Dream squeezed Willbur in his fist making him scream. He could feel his already bruised ribs bending at the pressure. He thought he might pass out. Finally he was let go, dropped into a more familiar pair of hands. He curled up, too weak and scared to move. More gentle fingers curled up around him rubbing his back. He hated that he felt comfort from it. Tommy wasn’t going to keep him safe. Not anymore.

“Well?” Dream questioned.

“What?” Tommy growled. He wanted to keep Willbur close to comfort him, but he couldn’t with Dream still here.

“Are you going to eat it or what?” He glared. He wasn’t leaving till he saw the human taken care of.

“I- I like eating in private.” Tommy cursed his stuttering. This wasn’t the plan! Dream was supposed to leave.

“No. Eat it now, or I will.” Dream said with a growl.

“I-“ Tommy looked panicked looking down at Willbur. He didn’t look good…. Tommy couldn’t help but think he looked broken. In more ways then one. He could eat Willbur and keep him safe at the same time. But he hated to do that to the human. But he didn’t have another choice.

“Fine, I’ll eat hi- it now.” He sighed. He brought Willbur up to his mouth being as gentle as possible without it being noticeable. He placed Willbur in him mouth cringing at the taste of blood. He hope he wasn’t too injured.

“Tommy…?” He whimpered as he was out in yer another mouth. He hoped Tommy would feel at lest a little bad about eating him.

The tongue slid over his arm making him gasped in pain. Everything froze, going still as he held his arm close, crying at the pain. Then everything moved. Gravity shifted and he slid back to the back of the mouth. “No, no no no no no..” Willbur muttered. “No! Tommy don’t please! Don’t do this! Please I don’t want to die! Tommy!” He screamed as he was swallowed back.

Tommy felt his heart beak hearing Willbur scream for his life. He wished he could tell him he’d be ok. That Tommy was just keeping him safe. He glared at Dream in full anger. “Now leave.” He said voice cold and calm. To calm.

Dream seemed to understand he wasn’t welcomed and slithered out of sight. “I better not see you again Dream! I’ll kill you! If I see you again!” Tommy yelled after him. He sighed head foggy from rage. He gasped as he remembered he needed to check on Will. He placed his hands over where he felt the small human in his brooding pouch. He wasn’t even moving… Tommy’s began to panic. “W-Willbur? Are you ok?” He asked gently pressing down on him.

Willbur curled up tight in a ball not bothering to move from where he had fallen into the stomach. He huffed hearing Tommy ask if he was ok.

“No! I’m not alright you dickhead!” He screamed. He was confused angry and sad. He just stared yelling. “How dare you do this! I thought we were friends! You- you said you wouldn’t hurt me. That you’d keep me safe. Was all that a lie? We’re you just going to eat me this whole time?” He was sobbing by the end of his rant. Hot angry tears ran down his face.

“No, of course it wasn’t all a lie! We are friends Willbur. I promise you’re safe. I just had to eat you so Dream wouldn’t.” He wanted to cry hearing Willburs words. He really thought he was going to die.

“Oh? Then let me out of here if you’re not going to hurt me!” He challenged.

“I-I can’t. I’m so sorry I would, but you’re so injured I don’t want to hurt you worse by bringing you back up.” He started to head home. Back to the cave.

“That’s what I thought.” Willbur sighed. He struggled to move and get more comfortable. Though he was probably going to be really uncomfortable in a second….

“I promise that your safe. You’ll see, in the morning I’ll let you out. Promise.” Tommy said. And he will. Willbur might not even come see him again. But at lest the human world be alive. Willbur hating him, was better then Willbur being dead.

He didn’t have enough energy to think let alone do anymore yelling. His whole body hurt. He curled up with the small hope burning in his chest, that maybe Tommy was telling the truth. He’d just have to see in the morning. He drifted off to sleep not wanting to be awake if he died.

Tommy got back to his cave curling up in his nest. He curled his tail protectively around his middle. He felt Willbur get heavier as he fell asleep. He hoped he could explain more in the morning. He had finally found someone who actually seemed to want to hang around him. But of course Willbur would never want to see him again now. He quietly cried himself to sleep that night. He had lost his only friend.

tiny!mer tommy with giant human sbi member noms

HAHAHAHA ANGST TIME, i'm kidding. its all fluff! MUHAHAHAAHAA!

Warnings: Soft vore

Words: 1.4K+

(@ghostan0n here you guys go!)

Tommy swam and splashed happily around his pond. The pond was a fair size considering Tommy was only about half a foot in height, not only that but the pond had a good ecosystem going for it with no other Mers around, meaning it was the perfect safe haven for the little Mer.

Growing up Tommy had been the runt of him and his siblings and because of the smaller size, he got blown away in a current from his family at a young, leaving him to learn to survive without the help of his parents.

He luckily found the pond, so it greatly helped him in surviving. He learnt how to live completely on his own.

He wasn’t alone though; he did have some frequent visitors.

“Tommy! We got you some treats!”. Tommy slowly and sneakily made his way to the surface, out of the way from the human’s view, to deem this treat worthy of his feast.

Surprisingly it was his favourite, little choc chips. They were sweet and full of flavour! Tommy loved them! He dove back under the water and happily pounced onto Wilbur’s hand. “There you are!”, he was just smaller than Wilbur’s hand.

He chirped back happily and began to eat his chocolate, he wasn’t allowed much and afterwards Wilbur was supposed to give him fish food, which wasn’t the worst food out there, but it tasted rather bland if he was honest.

Wilbur chuckled as he witnessed Tommy straight up gobbling the chocolate with what he could with small fangs. He honestly found it adorable. “You doing okay, Today?”, Tommy chirped happily in response.

Sadly, Tommy couldn’t speak English, only understand it. He learnt it through many years of living in the lake. But what he could speak was his own language known as Oceanian, which consisted of thrills and chirps.

And luckily for Tommy they had a translator as Wilbur’s dad, Phil worked with Mers and had a good understanding of the language. Meaning he could communicate with them. Only with Phil present though, he had yet to learn sign language.

Once Tommy was finished with his chocolate, he dove back into the water as he couldn’t stay on the surface forever.

Tommy is honestly quite happy where he is now, he would never want to leave the pond. It was his home now and Wilbur, Techno and Phil were his family, even with the creature difference.

Tommy gestured for Wilbur to join him in the pond and play. “You wanna play?”, he got a splash in response. So, Wilbur happily walked into the pond, with it barely being his knees length he could easily sit down.

Once he did sit down, Tommy swam around his legs. Breaching the surface much like a dolphin now and again. It made Wilbur happy to see Tommy happy as cheesy as that was.

“So, what’s happening in Tommy’s chaotic life Today?”. Tommy stopped for a minute and surfaced his upper body. He pinched his chin in a thinking position until he seemed to remember something.

Tommy dove back into the water and didn’t surface back up for a couple of minutes. It made Wilbur curious about what he was doing. Then Tommy came up to be carrying a small shell, which fit nicely into both arms.

“Another shell for my necklace, huh?”. Tommy nodded and chirped happily in response. Wilbur was going to have to drill a hole into this one in order to fit his necklace that was laced with shells already given to them.

It was always a gesture Tommy gave them; it was always a contest between the three of them who got the most shells from Tommy. And not to brag but Wilbur was winning.

Tommy continued to swim around Wilbur and getting the occasional hand cuddles, then it was time for bed, “Alright Toms, I think that’s enough for today.”. He whispered to the half-asleep Mer sleeping on his hand.

Tommy lazily chirped back as if saying “I don’t wanna sleep!”. But Wilbur moved so he could put Tommy into his grove.

But Tommy wasn’t having it, he clung onto Wilbur’s hand when he tried to retract it. “Tommy, it’s getting late! Phil will be mad if I don’t get home for dinner!”, he chirped back frustratingly in response.

“Tommy we can’t be arguing right now, I gotta go. I’m sorry”. Tommy began to aggressively chirp at Wilbur as if he were screaming profanities, he probably was. “Tommy! First, language! Second, I can’t stay! Sorry bud. I’ll come back tomorrow though”.

Tommy’s ear like fins lowered as he made the saddest puppy dog eyes he could. He didn’t want Wilbur to leave obviously. Wilbur sighed, “Why are you being so clingy today, huh?”.

Tommy thrilled sadly. “Alright, alright. I’ll be back in a couple of minutes, okay?”. Tommy finally let go of Wilbur, trusting him to come back and Wilbur wasn’t just going to let him down.

Wilbur made his way back to the house, “There you are Wil! How’s Tommy?”. He asked as he continued to cut the onions on the cutting board. “Just fine, he’s being really clingy Today.”.

“Ah, Mers can be like that sometimes, they don’t want their pod to leave.”, “Tommy wouldn’t let me leave one night actually, it was annoying”. Techno added, but it was clear no ill intent was there. It was just Techno’s way of being playful.

“Hey Dad, is it okay if I skip out on dinner tonight?”, Phil looked over with concern on his features. “How come?”, Wilbur stumbled on his words, whilst grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. “Uhh-“.

Wilbur looked away when he couldn’t answer. There was a moment of awkward silence as Phil thought for a moment. Then he pieced it together. “Oh! Got it! Go ahead! Stay safe alright?”. He sighed in relief, “Will do!”. Then, he left the house back to the pond.

…

He then made his way back to the pond, “Tommy! I’m back!”. In a second Tommy was at the surface, swimming towards Wilbur. “Okay, you clingy bitch! You know what we’re going to do?”. He asked sarcastically. Tommy chirped back in determination. He knew what he was going to do.

Because of Phil’s job as a Mer biologist, a professional one at that. He knew a lot about Mers. And he made sure his kids knew a lot too. So, when the family met Tommy, they already were well aware of how to take care of the Mer.

That also included other things too, such as the fact Mer’s were able to be swallowed and safely be stored in a human’s stomach since they were acid-resistant. The first time Phil had done it so they could transport Tommy safely was rather shocking for Wilbur and Techno.

But then they did it themselves and were actually quite surprised it felt like a giant hug, so they honestly didn’t mind swallowing Tommy, they did it now and again. So, it seems like it was one of those days for Tommy.

“How about a challenge Toms?”, Tommy furrowed an eyebrow. “Try and land in my mouth. I dare you.”.

Tommy made a determined expression and quickly dove back into the water. Wilbur sat down, opened his mouth, and waited. After about a minute, Tommy breached the surface as high as he could. And missed.

So, he tried again, this time Wilbur gave him a helping hand and let Tommy land in his hands. And then quickly shoving him in his mouth, much to Tommy’s dismay. He wanted to do the challenge. It made Wilbur laugh as Tommy’s tail hung out of his mouth.

Tommy chirped angrily and slapped his tail against Wilbur’s chin. In response, Wilbur just softly swallowed, then proceeding to slurp up Tommy’s tail like a noodle. He then swallowed again and traced Tommy’s descent with his hand. Making sure his little brother was again.

Once he felt Tommy land in his stomach, he put a hand to his stomach. “You okay Toms?”. He got a chirp in response and felt Tommy get comfortable in his stomach. He signed in relief, he then grabbed his water bottle and chugged down the bottle. So, Tommy was sure to be safe.

“Alright, time for bed.”. He then made his way back home, grabbed his guitar and played a soft melody until he heard Tommy’s sleepy chirps. Then made his way to bed.

Rating FE3H male class designs using Dimitri (and his tiny waist) - Part 2 - Intermediate classes

I’ve had Thoughts™ on the different class designs for a long while and Dimitri’s tiny waist is as good an excuse as any to look at them, so let’s go. Putting the rest beneath the cut, because long post is long.

Archer

4/5. Archers, by virtue of being ranged fighters, don’t need much armor, so I won’t critique the lack of plating here. This is actually really well-balanced in terms of color and patterns, even if it uses that ugly brown again. I think it’s the white trims that save this one. Dimitri looks resigned to a life of hunger. Thin boy is thin (and yet those thighs could probably still squash a grown man’s head like a grape).

Armored Knight

2/5. Om nom nom nom nom nom. Dimitri took “you need more iron in your diet” too literal and is now nibbling on this atrocity’s collar. Seriouly though, you take one fall in this getup and you probably break a tooth or two. On the bright side, we finally have proper armor on the armor and it’s even convex in the front (which helps warding off blows). I would like this one a lot if it wasn’t for the dental bill in waiting.

Brawler

3/5. I wanna hate this one, because some part of me just screams UGLY at this get-up, and yet it also kind of works? It’s weird. It feels like Fire Emblem looked at Final Fantasy and went “hey, I know what we need to be just as popular! BELTS! Lots of belts! If it works for FF it will work for FE!” That said, I’m not gonna say no to a half bare-chested Dimitri and I appreciate this costume using a nicer shade of brown.

Brigand

3/5. This is what happens when fragile masculinity interferes with the need to dress appropriately for the weather. I mean, really? Just had to ditch the sleeves to show off your biceps? Alright. This one only stays in mid range thanks to its nice color balance to offset the lack of good judgment.

Cavalier

4/5. No pre-time skip picture this time, because I forgot to take one. Sorry. This one has a decent amount of armor coverage for both horse and rider and is just all around pleasant to look at, even if it’s a little bland. Speaking of ‘bland’, Dimitri please eat something--your waist is only two horse ears wide.

Dark Mage

5/5. Why, I...hello mister, how are you tonight? This outfit is SLICK. Simple, elegant, and smoother than Sylvain’s guilty conscience. Dimitri has achieved peak thinness. Who even needs organs?

Lord

5/5. Finally some vibrant, saturated colors! Loog would be proud. I’m not even gonna critique the weird armor placement this time, since the colors just look so good. Dimitri finally had a meal after he ditched the Dark Mage outfit.

Mage

1/5. This is a potato sack dyed blue. Moving on.

Mercenary

2/5. I am not sure I would hire somebody who has such questionable armor placement choices. Yes, please, let’s put *everything* in armor *except* for your center of mass, that will work out great. /s Maybe that’s why he looks like he hasn’t eaten for days?

Priest

4/5. I... actually really like this one. It very clearly says “healer”, it looks elegant, since you’re not supposed to fight on the front lines, it doesn’t need much armor either, plus it’s apparently comfy enough to accomodate another set of clothes underneath (which makes post time skip Dimitri’s waist look even more alarming, because if it’s that narrow after two layers of clothing, you really want him to have a meal).

Thief

4/5. Thieves are supposed to be quick and stealthy. Armor is bulky and loud, so I will forgive the lack of protection here. I low key dig the fur collar. Post time skip Dimitri somehow looks better in this than pre time skip Dimitri and I don’t know why.

[cyncerity]

Hiya!!

I hope you get this ask in good health! I hope you're doing well today too! <3

Anyways, I'd like to request something!

Maybe some G!Tommy and T!SBI+Beeduo fluff? and maybe soft noms included if you want to add that in, you don't have to if you aren't comfortable though!

Hi!! I’m doing good, and I hope you are, too, thank you for caring!!

Always up for soft noms <3

Gonna be honest: I didn’t know how to incorporate SBI and BeeDuo noms into one story so have 2 mini drabbles cause I’m unoriginal (which is also why it took so long sorry again)

Also I warned y’all a while ago that I would write a hide and seek oneshot lmao

Also also sorry for the lack of dialogue-

Tw: Soft vore in both stories. If you don’t like it, don’t read it <3

It had been a long day of work for Tommy, Ranboo and Tubbo. They had been working on fixing up Snowchester all day, and they were exhausted. At least, Tubbo and Ranboo were. The work hadn’t been too difficult for Tommy given his giant size, the snow had just been a pain in the ass. He didn’t understand why anyone chose to live in the freezing cold, he was miserable after having been outside for only a day. But he helped because of how Tubbo and Ranboo planned to “pay” him. The thought brought a smile to his face as he watched the goat hybrid finish fixing a creeper hole as his husband placed a berry bush on top of it. He leaned over the two teenagers both looking absolutely beat from the work they’d done today. Tommy set his hands next to the pair who climbed on quickly, ready to fulfill their end of the deal if it meant having a quiet warm place to sleep.

The giant lifted them up slowly before opening his mouth and gently sliding them in, quickly noticing how cold his friends felt against his tongue. All the more reason to get them to warmth quicker. Tommy tilted his head back slowly, resting his fingers against his throat as he felt both hybrids slip down his esophagus. He followed their path down to his stomach after they fell past his collarbones, hyper aware of their place in his chest because of the shiver the two freezing teenagers sent down his spine. When they finally reached his stomach they laid back and fell asleep almost immediately, Tommy feeling the light movement of the rise and fall of their chests against his stomach walls and hearing their soft snores echo slightly throughout his belly.

He smiled as he began to slowly make his way home, careful not to sway or wake his friends as he enjoyed the soft sway of their weight on his way home. When he finally got home he climbed into his bed as carefully as he could manage, tucking his knees to his chest in an attempt to curl around his friends. He fell asleep with a hand resting over his stomach in a protective manner, a smile on his face, though he knew he’d deny it in the morning. All he knew now though was how lucky he was to have friends like this. And unbeknownst to him, Tubbo and Ranboo fell asleep thinking the same exact thing.

————————-

Tommy walked down the hallways of his family’s house as quietly as he could, quickly sweeping around every corner in a desperate attempt to notice any small movements out of the corner of his eye. His family had this sort of weekly tradition of hide-and-seek, but with a twist most other families can’t manage. Part of the fun of having a family of sizeshifters: hide and seek becomes a lot more interesting. At least, if you’re the seeker. Tommy had never been good at hiding: he currently had a streak of about 7 weeks being the first one caught. Not that he was complaining, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing to be caught first. It meant more room to himself before whoever was seeking that night found the other two, with the unfortunate side effect of also being made fun of by his older brothers for being caught first. But tonight was different: he was the seeker. He was gonna win.

All of a sudden, he saw something flying out of the corner of his eye. He sprung into action as he ran to grab it out of the air before it could get to a different hiding spot, almost falling over as he grabbed it and lost his balance. He opened his palm to see his father; no surprise there, he was the only one who could fly. But he was also usually the last found, his wings giving him the hiding advantage. And Tommy caught him first. Tommy gave the smaller man a smug grin as Phil sat up slowly in his sons hand, the sudden grab out of their air making him dizzy. When he looked up at his sons stupid, shit-eating grin, he flipped him off and laid back in his hand, making his son burst into laughter at the gesture.

Tommy took this as a sign of begrudging readiness as he slipped Phil into his mouth, quickly swallowing the smaller hybrid as he started to look for his oldest brother, knowing that if this was where Phil hid, Techno would be around here, too.

“Techno...” Tommy called out as soon as Phil dropped into his stomach, allowing him to speak again. “Come on out, I don’t bite...”

He continued to tease him for a few minutes longer, probably not doing a great job as he was somewhat distracted by the weight in his gut, when he saw a quick blur of pink top of the fridge.

Tommy moved slowly towards the fridge. There wasn’t a fast enough way down from there, Techno must’ve thought he hadn’t been paying attention. In an instant, Tommy jumped up and grabbed Techno off the fridge and put him in his mouth, effectively capturing his brother while simultaneously scaring the shit out of him if the yelp he let out was any evidence. He could hear his fathers laughter as he swallowed the piglin, who struggled all the way down and began to half-heartedly punch at Tommy’s stomach walls in a playful manner once he fell into the organ. Tommy resisted laughing and instead poked his midsection where he could feel Techno, and in turn felt it when he knocked Techno over. He ignored the harder laughter from his father and string of curse words Techno threw at him as he started to look for Wilbur.

2 down, 1 to go. He went through the living room, bathrooms, and bedrooms with no sign of the tiny until he eventually stopped in the kitchen. He had to be in here.

And he was, Tommy noticed surprisingly quickly. Wilbur was simply out in the open, standing behind the faucet to the sink, leaning one of the knobs. It probably would have seemed suspicious to anyone that wasn’t Tommy. So he walked up to Wilbur who stared him down with a smug confidence no one who was about to get eaten should have, whether or not they knew it was safe. It wasn’t until Tommy reached for Wil that he understood why he had the level of confidence.

As soon as he hand was close enough, Wilbur shifted his weight on the knob so it turned the sink on, the rubber band around the sink’s alternate shower head turning it on, spraying Tommy with water as he yelled in surprise. Wilbur watched from behind the sink, laughing to himself as Tommy desperately tried to turn the hose off without spraying himself in the eyes.

He eventually managed to turn the sink off, and Wilbur couldn’t help but laugh at the death glare Tommy gave him in return. The tiny was lifted up to Tommy’s eye level by the back of his shirt, still looking not at all concerned. “You little shit, you’re drying all this off when I let you out.”

Wilbur shrugged as Tommy sighed in annoyance, lifted the tiny higher and dropping him into his mouth, even using his teeth to slightly chew on his brother. He hadn’t gotten to taste the other two because of the rush he had put himself through trying to find them all quickly, so he let himself enjoys Wil’s taste as he made his was back to his room. Wil didn’t care, either. He knew that Tommy wouldn’t hurt him, and he knew he’d probably be messed with a little extra due to his prank, but he didn’t care, Tommy’s face had been priceless.

Tommy eventually relented to sending Wilbur down to be with the rest of his family as he sat down on his bed, scrolling through Twitter as he rubbed at his belly, faintly hearing Wilbur tell a very confused Techno and Phil why it took Tommy so long to catch him. Tommy continued to absentmindedly scroll through his phone as he joined his family’s conversation, all of them teasing and joking with each other as Tommy started to boast at being the best seeker in the house. He got light kicks and shoves in return for this, but none of them were hostile. After all, they’d all been on Tommy’s current side of the game before, they all knew how good it felt. And Tommy knew from his experience how good rubs from the outside where, too, so he happily indulged his family as well. And Tommy knew that after he let them out tomorrow there’d be another round with a new seeker next week, and he’d have to wait a while to be the bigger person in the game again, so he savored his time with his family inside him. But on the other hand, if memory served him correctly, it was Wilbur’s turn to be the seeker next week. And boy did Tommy have some ideas on how to get back at his brother.

Diabolik Lovers LUNATIC PARADE ;; Shuu Route ー Chapter 1

Yui: ( I have to retrieve my heart no matter what...! )

ー The scene starts in the area surrounding Bernstein Castle

Yui: ( Anyway, we should head to the city surrounding the castle. )

( But... )

Shuu: ...Pwah...

Yui: ( Doesn’t seem like Shuu-san wants to move a lot. )

( Honestly, I can’t imagine he would have come here in the past, so I’m happy he even came this far. )

( Still, we can’t just sit still here forever either. I wonder if there isn’t some kind of effective method to get him moving...? )

...Right!

Um, Shuu-san?

Shuu: Hm...?

Yui: There’s carriages over on the other side, so why don’t we take one of those to head to the city area?

I’m sure it will be much easier than going on foot.

Shuu: ...Aah, good point.

I can continue sleeping for a little while longer inside the vehicle as well.

...Let’s go then.

ー Shuu walks ahead

Yui: ...Yes!

ー The scene shifts to Glimmer Street’s main area

Yui: ( So this is the city...? )

( The townscape has somewhat of an unfamiliar vibe to it. Although I suppose that makes sense since this isn’t the human world. )

Shuu: I barely got any sleep because the carriage shook a lot more than I expected.

Haah...What a drag...

Yui: I’m sorry.

Shuu: You don’t need to apologize, really.

ーー So, what should we do next? We came here for you, so you’re coming up with our plan.

Yui: Um...

For starters, I would like to drop by Bernstein castle once.

So...Um...Will you come with me...?

Shuu: Nah.

ーー But if I say that, I would have come all the way here for nothing.

The castle’s that way.

Yui: Y-Yes!

ー The scene shifts to the frontside of the wagons

Yui: ( It has gotten more crowded. )

( The atmosphere is a little different from the Carnival as well. )

( ...Hm? Actually, now that I think about it... )

Shuu: ...Oi. You’ve been quiet this whole time...Do you have something on your mind?

Yui: Ah...You see...

Back during the Carnival, I remember having to constantly run away from trouble, but this time everything seems fine.

Shuu: Of course. Your heart has been stolen, so the usual scent of your blood is different.

Even the tasteーー

*Rustle*

Yui: Wah...!

ー Shuu drags her into a side alley

Shuu: ...Nn...Haah...

Yui: ( This...suddenly... )

Shuu: ...

Nn...

...Haah...Just as I thought, it tastes completely different as well.

With the Kleinod put inside of you in replacement of your heart, you are currently neither human nor Vampire.

So your blood is very mediocre, tasting somewhere in between both species. Like this, nobody will even think of targeting you.

We wouldn’t make the extra effort to drink bad blood after all.

Yui: T-Then why did you drink it....? You should have known all of that...

Shuu: ...Good question. Why don’t you try and come up with the answer by yourself?

Well, depending on how you look at it, this isn’t too bad of a situation, is it?

If you stay this way, you’ll no longer be chased down by Vampires.

Yui: You do have a point. But...

According to Reiji-san, Kleinods are unreliable...

If it stops working, then...

( If that happens, I will die. )

Shuu: Rest assured.

When that happens, I’ll turn you into a Vampire.

So there’s nothing to worry about.

Yui: ...Shuu-san...

( Into a Vampire, huh? )

( It would mean I get to live another day. )

( I’m sure this is Shuu-san’s way of showing kindness. )

( It makes me very happy. But... )

( If I get turned into a Vampire, I will no longer be human. )

( When I consider that... )

...

Shuu: ...What?

Yui: ( ...I should tell Shuu-san how I genuinely feel about this. I don’t want to lie to him after all. )

Um, I...

I can’t say with confidence that I would become a Vampire just to save my own life.

I’ve always been a human after all...

Shuu: Heeh...

...I see.

But why do you seem that hesitant then?

Yui: ...That’s...Well...

Shuu: ...

Yui: ( Oh no, I can’t put it into words very well... )

Shuu: ...Whatever.

For now, we should hurry ahead.

ー Shuu walks away

Yui: Ah...!

( Now it just feels as if we got into an argument... )

ー The scene shifts back to Glimmer Street’s main area

Shuu: ...

Yui: ...

Shuu: ...

Yui: ( ...Shuu-san hasn’t spoken a word ever since. I guess he’s upset after all, huh? )

( What should I do...? )

*THUD*

Yui: Wah!?

Stall owner: Uwah!?

*Thud thud*

Yui: ( O-Oh no! The goods...! )

Stall owner: Ahー... I can no longer sell these now.

Yui: I-I’m terribly sorry! I wasn’t paying attention and...

Shuu: ...Haah. What are you doing...?

Yui: ( Uu, Shuu-san seems completely done with me as well. )

Stall owner: No worries, don’t seem upset.

Yui: Eh...?

Stall owner: Only a few things fell on the ground. It’s no big deal, really.

More importantly...Is something weighing heavy on your mind? You were walking while lost in thought, no?

Have one of these candies and cheer up, okay?

These bat lollies are very popular here in the Demon World.

The gentleman over there is your boyfriend, isn’t he? If you’re fighting, you should give him one of these to make up.

Yui: Eh!? Y-Yes...!

Stall owner: Until we meet again...

ー The stall owner leaves with his cart

Yui: Ah...!

( He disappeared into the crowd almost instantly. )

( That being said...What a nice guy. )

( I would love to properly thank him one day. )

Shuu: ...

Yui: ( Ah...Shuu-san waited for me...? )

( I got this lolly now anyway, so might as well... )

( I wonder if I can really use this to make it up to him, just like that mister said? )

Um...Shuu-san, please, go ahead and have one.

( Will he accept it...? )

Shuu: ...

Thanks. (1)

Yui: N-No problem!

( Thank god! )

Shuu: Heeh...This lolly seems quite well-made. Hm...

...It doesn’t taste bad either.

Yui: ( For some reason...Like this, Shuu-san always seems like a child. )

Shuu: ...What?

Yui: N-Nothing!

Shuu: Well, okay then.

...Why don’t you give it a try as well?

Yui: Eh? ...Can I?

Shuu: I wouldn’t offer otherwise. Here.

Yui: Ah, thank you very much.

...You’re right, it’s delicious!

Shuu: Told you? It’s not half bad.

If you like it, why not have some more?

Selection

→ You should have it (☾)

Yui: I’m good, so you should have it.

Shuu: ...Oh. You don’t actually like it then, do you?

Yui: That’s not it, um...

I want you to have it exactly because I think it’s so delicious. I was hoping it would cheer you up at least a little.

Shuu: Hm...

I’ll take it then.

Yui: Yes.

Shuu: Ah, butーー

ー Shuu moves closer to kiss her

*Smooch*

Shuu: ...

Yui: ...!?

Shuu: I can share the sweetness with you like this.

Yui: ( H-He surprised me! But...I’m happy. )

→ Just a little more then

Yui: Just a few more bites then...Nom...

( Yeah, it really is good! )

Shuu: Haha...

Yui: Why are you laughing?

Shuu: No...You just seem so happy while eating that sweet treat.

Yui: ( Uu, it’s actually a little embarrassing now that I think about it... )

( But... )

Yui: ( I can assume things are good between the two of us again now, right...? )

Shuu: ...

...I guess you could say good things come when you least expect them. (2)

Yui: Yeah. My thoughts exactly. I would have never thought I’d get a treat for bumping into his cart.

Shuu: No, that’s not what I meant.

I’m talking about the smile that candy brought to your face.

You should always smile like that.

Yui: Shuu-san...

Shuu: About what I said...You really shouldn’t worry about having to choose between being a human or Vampire.

I’m sure I wouldn’t know what to say if someone suddenly told me to become a human either.

Yui: ( I didn’t think he’d be so understanding... )

Shuu: ...Come on, let’s get going now.

*Rustle*

Shuu: Give me your hand. You’re a horrible airhead, so I’ll hold it.

Yui: ( Wah...! Shuu-san grabbed my hand. )

Shuu: Good grief...Everywhere is overflowing with people.

Seems like it will take a while to get to the castle like this.

...What a drag...

Yui: ( He may say that but... )

( Personally, I’d love to stay like this just a little longer if possible... )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the gate in front of Bernstein castle

Yui: ( So this is Bernstein castle? It’s very impressive... )

Shuu: Doesn’t seem like we can get inside. The gates obviously won’t open and there appears to be some sort of barrier set up as well.

We might be able to sneak our way in if you could fly, but that would be asking for the impossible.

Yui: Yes...

Shuu: Well, I knew this would happen from the very beginning though.

The Count prides himself on never having a single treasure taken back from him.

In other words, he must have taken measures to ensure nobody can get inside his castle.

Even so, I assumed we would have been able to find at least one opening as long as we got close enough...

However, it seems it was naive of me to think that.

Yui: ( I see... )

So we’re out of luck...?

Shuu: ...

Yui: ( What should we do...? )

Shuu: ...Say.

Let me ask you just one thing. Do you truly want to get your heart back?

Yui: Eh...?

Shuu: Just answer me. Do you want to retrieve it or not...?

Yui: I...

I want it back.

Shuu: ...I see.

Gotcha.

ー Shuu suddenly walks away

Yui: S-Shuu-san!? Where are you going...!?

Shuu: ーー To an inn.

Yui: Heh...?

Shuu: Just standing around here won’t get us anywhere, will it?

So I’m going to an inn.

I’ll think of a plan there.

Yui: Shuu-san...!

Shuu: I didn’t give up on you. Rest assured.

Yui: Thank you very much!

Shuu: No need to thank me. You are always way too modest.

Come on, let’s go.

Yui: Yes...!

ー The scene shifts to the lobby of Hotel Mondstein 

Yui: ( I’m a little nervous... )

Hotel staff: Excuse me, sir. You would like a room for two for tonight, correct?

Shuu: Yes. 

For me and my wife.

Hotel staff: Noted. We will get everything ready, so please wait over there until then...

Yui: ...U-Um, Shuu-san...

Are you sure you should have called me your wife?

Shuu: Yeah. Got a problem with it?

Yui: N-No, not really...

( It just felt a little embarrassing... )

Hotel staff: ーー My sincere apologies for the wait. I shall escort you to your room.

Shuu: Yeah.

Yui: ( Phew...That made my heart skip a beat. )

ー The scene shifts to their room

Yui: What a lovely room...

Shuu: You think so? Seems pretty mediocre to me.

...Haah...

ー Shuu lies down on the bed

*Thud*

Yui: ( Ah, geez, Shuu-san. He just plopped down on the bed right away. )

Shuu: I’m exhausted...Just order some room service for now. Whatever strikes your fancy.

They should have a special menu available only during the Parade as well.

Yui: Fufu, okay. Please leave the order up to me.

( Um, the menu card is... )

*Flip*

Yui: Wah...!

( What a delicious-looking dinner! )

Shuu: ...

Yui: ( The afternoon tea inspired by the Parade is very cute too. )

Shuu: ...

Yui: Huh? Shuu-san...? Aren’t you going to sleep?

Or rather...Did you chuckle just now?

Shuu: I was astounded by how happy you looked.

Yui: ( D-Did I get a little too excited? I should calm down... )

Shuu: So, have you decided on what to get?

Yui: Um...I’ll order the afternoon tea then, okay?

( Phew... )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( Order complete. )

Shuu: ...

Yui: Shuu-san? Are you no longer tired?

Shuu: No, I’m sleepy.

I’m gonna take a nap so come here.

*Rustle*

Yui: Wah!

( He pulled me into his arms. )

U-Um...?

Shuu: Keep quiet. Body pillows shouldn’t talk.

Yui: ( Uu...This is embarrassing! )

( However, I should keep quiet for his sake. )

Shuu: ...Perfect.

...Nn...

*Smooch*

Yui: Ah!?

Shuu: I told you to keep quiet, no?

Yui: ( No fair... )

Shuu: ...Nn...

*Smooch*

*Knock knock*

Yui: ( The room service is here! )

S-Shuu-san. You have to let go...

Shuu: Why?

Yui: Why, you ask...?

Shuu: They can just come in if they need us.

*Knock knock*

Shuu: ーー The door’s unlocked!

Hotel staff: Pardon the intrusion.

ー The lady enters the room

Hotel staff: I have brought your orーー!?

Yui: ( S-She saw us. )

Hotel staff: ...I have brought your order.

Shuu: Set everything up on the balcony, please.

Hotel staff: As you wish.

*Cling cling*

Yui: ( Uu...How embarrassing... )

Hotel staff: Now if you would excuse me.

ー She leaves again 

Yui: S-Shuu-san! Why would you do this...!?

Shuu: What do you mean ‘this’?

Yui: Y-You know...This...As if you’re trying to show off...

Shuu: I didn’t just ‘try’, I actually did mean to do that though?

Yui: ...!

Shuu: Haha...Your face’s bright red.

Yui: G-Gosh! Don’t tease me!

Shuu: You’re to blame for always falling for it.

ー Shuu gets up from the bed

Shuu: Anyway, hurry up to the balcony.

We’re going to set up a plan over a cup of tea.

Yui: ( Haah, he has me completely following his lead... (3) )

ー The scene shifts to the balcony

Shuu: ...I actually remembered something.

Yui: Remembered...?

Shuu: Yeah.

*Cling*

Shuu: I happen to know a Vampire who is very knowledgeable on the Count.

Yui: ...!

Shuu: If we hit him up, he might be able to tell us a way to get your heart back from the Count.

It’s just...There’s one little problem.

Yui: A problem...?

Shuu: ...You’ll get it once we get there, don’t worry.

Yui: ( I wonder what he means? )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the gondola dock

Yui: ( I wonder what kind of place it is if we have to go there by gondola...? )

ー The scene shifts to the middle of the mountains

Yui: T-This is...quite the creepy area, isn’t it?

Is someone truly living here?

Shuu: If my memory serves me correctly.

ー Shuu starts walking

Yui: ( I should just follow Shuu-san for now. )

ー Yui follows suit

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( We’ve gone quite far into the mountains already... )

( I don’t think I could make it back to the gondolas by myself. The path is bumpy as well... )

Shuu: Haah...What a drag...

Yui: ( Shuu-san...He may complain, but he continues walking on regardless. )

( I shouldn’t be the one lagging behind then. I have to push through! )

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ( We’ve walked for quite some time since then, but I still can’t see the end... )

...This acquaintance of yours lives quite far away, doesn’t he? 

Shuu: ...

Yui: ...? Shuu-san?

Shuu: ...Haah. 

ーー We got lost.

Yui: Eeh!?

( T-That possibility briefly crossed my mind but no way...! What now!? )

ー The scene shifts to a cave

Shuu: Haah...We should get some rest here for the night.

Yui: Y-Yeah.

( We really lucked out to find a cave nearby. )

*HOOOOOWL*

Yui: ...!

Shuu: ...

ー Shuu hugs her close

*Rustle*

Yui: ( H-He embraced me...! )

Shuu: If any wild beasts get in, I can simply chase them back out.

So, you know...Don’t worry.

Yui: Shuu-san...

Shuu: Once we get your heart back, I don’t mind keeping you company at the Parade or whatever.

You like that sorta stuff, don’t you?

Yui: Yeah...!

( There’s no reason to be anxious. I...have Shuu-san by my side after all. )

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) もらっとく or ‘morratoku’ literally means ‘I’ll accept it (in preparation of something else’. I could have translated it as  ‘I’ll take it’ as well, but personally I felt like this was Shuu-san’s way of thanking her. The boys tend to take the roundabout way when expressing their feelings after all.

(2) The idiom 棚から牡丹餅 or ‘tana kara botamochi’ literally means ‘red bean mochi falls from the shelf’ and refers to an unexpected streak of luck.

(3) If you get caught up in someone else’s ‘pace’, it means that you are at their mercy, simply following along as the other person decides what you will do.

[chibinekochan]

What would happen if smol MC just grew animals ears and a tail? Similar to the Paws and Claws event but only MC. And they’re smol!! (I’m sorry I’m just really short.)

This request was made for me.

I kinda randomly decided what kind of ears and tail for each of them so here we go. 

*I'm very short myself*

                           Leviathan 

He has been pining to see you with animal ears since day one. 

Okay, maybe day two, but still.

It's one of his top 5 things he wants you to have. 

His disappointment was super real to see you without any animal ears or tail. 

It's just super unfair. 

It honestly doesn't matter what animal ears and tail you get. 

Bunny ears and cat ears are his top tier. 

Maybe you could also really surprise him with something unusual. 

Then you suddenly grow ears a week, after everyone else has already gotten used to their new form.

Then suddenly poof you got super cute ears and a tail. 

Somehow you got the traits of a Kangaroo. 

Levi is in Otaku heaven, this is like an UR+ pull. 

He has stars in his eyes. 

You are just so cute and tiny and the ears are so cute and ahhh he could just hug you and kiss you, well maybe not that.

Alright, definitely both of that. 

This is the best thing ever. 

It's even better than what Levi had imagined. 

He is very hyper and has issues calming down. Sugar rush Levi basically. 

He has to take many pictures of you. 

                             Mammon

He was so disappointed when you didn't get affected, like he did. 

Now Mammon is back to his old self but he still wonders what kind of animal you would be. 

Probably something tiny and cute. 

Then suddenly you knock on his door. 

You seem to be bothered by something. 

Worry not, Mammon is here to save the day. 

He opens the door and almost slams it in your face. 

You suddenly have puppy ears and a little tail too. 

So cute! This is too much, Mammon almost gets a heart attack. 

He lets you inside of his room. 

You will be the safest right at his side. 

Even when it is a big issue. 

You look at him with your big eyes, your cute ears and your wagging tail. 

How is Mammon supposed to handle this? 

It's so cute! He is only a man and this is pushing his limits too much. 

You better be grateful that he is such a gentleman. 

He will still give in and pet your ears and also takes tons of pictures of you, with him, for his private collection. 

                    Beelzebub 

You two are just on the way home together. 

Then suddenly poof you got some cute ears on top of your head and a long tail to boot. 

You turned into a snow leopard. 

Beelzebub was very surprised. 

Even more so when you suddenly mutter that Beel is looking very tasty. 

So this is how it feels to be told you look tasty? 

He isn't really afraid, yeah sure you are growling at him, but you are also way smaller than him. 

Kinda more like a small cat with a big dog (Beel). 

You are very cute like that. 

He could just lift you up and cuddle you. 

You can even nom on him if you are really that hungry. 

Well Beel is hungry too so you two hurry home. 

He makes some tasty meat dishes for you, can't have you eat raw meat. 

Beel is very taken in by your fluffy tail and seems to watch it a lot when it moves around. 

You let him pet it for a while, it feels pretty good. 

                          Asmodeus 

It was disappointing that you didn't turn into anything when everyone else did. 

Truly unfair. 

Asmo could just use some fake ears on you of course but it's not the same. 

Then one day you come to him and suddenly have fox ears and a very fluffy tail. 

Asmo is very delighted to see you like this. 

This is a wish come true for him. 

He asks if he can pet your tail and ears. 

You agree and Asmo thinks it's very soft and then asks you to brush your tail. 

He spends a lot of time admiring your new appearance. 

He dolls you up and takes tons of pictures, and then another ton of pictures together with Asmo. 

He posts a few of the best ones but most of them land in his personal collection. 

                     Belphegor 

He has always wanted to see you with a cute fluffy tail, to use that as a pillow. 

Maybe some cute ears would also be very nice. 

Then one evening you come to his room. 

In a bit of a panic. 

Belphie wonders what happened and you reveal your ears and then your tail. 

You got cute ears and a very fluffy cat tail *like a persian cat*. 

Belphies eyes sparkle. 

He wants to pet the tail so badly. 

Belphie tells you to not worry about it, it's no big deal to have animal traits like this. 

After he calms you down, Belphie asks if he can pet your tail. 

You agree and this makes him very happy. 

Belphie ends up using it as a pillow. 

His dream finally comes true. 

                  Satan 

One day you come to him, in a bit of a panic. 

Satan looks at you and you have cow ears, with matching ears and a tail. 

Satan almost laughs out loud. 

You almost look like Belphie now but way cuter. 

You are a bit worried about your new looks. 

Satan assures you that it's no big deal. 

It will wear off in a few hours. 

So long you should just stay with him. 

You stay in Satans room. 

He takes a few pictures of you, just for his personal pleasure. 

                  Lucifer 

Some late evening you knock in his door. 

Of course you are welcome to come in. 

Lucifer wonders what your end goal here is, since it is rather late. 

He opens his door and is a bit surprised to see you. 

You have bunny ears and a matching tail. 

Lucifer wonders how you ended up with this. 

You explain to him and feel a bit scared. 

Lucifer pets your head and tells you it's fine. 

It will wear off by tomorrow. 

Your ears twitch from this, what only seems to motivate Lucifer to touch your ears some more. 

They are very soft and soothing to touch. 

Lucifer asks you to stay with him for tonight, just to prevent his brothers to bother you of course.

A3! Izumida Azami - Translation [SR] Inherited Competitive Spirit (1/2)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Izumi: This time, Eita who Azami plays is the little brother of Takumi who Juza plays, right? So I have a suggestion—. Just like during “Run Around the Field”, how about you guys switch rooms temporarily and try spending time in the same room again this time?

Juza: Spend time in the same room, huh?

Omi: That reminds me, Tasuku-san and Azami shared a room back then in order to prepare for their roles as brothers.

Taichi: A-chan went to Tasuku-san’s room, so in exchange, Tsumugi-san stayed in Sakyo-nii’s room, right!

Sakyo: Right, that happened too.

Azami: I was also thinkin’ I’d have to consider lots to prepare for our roles as brothers. Since Juza-san and Kumon are brothers who get along well… And since I can be away from shitty Sakyo, I’ll go to Juza-san’s room. The time I spent with Tasuku-san was pretty useful for role study too.

Juza: I dunno if bein’ with me will be any good as role study, but let’s give it a shot.

Banri: Crap. So that means I’ll be roomin’ with Sakyo-san?

Sakyo: Don’t make such a blatantly disgusted face.

Banri: Well, when I realize I’ll be free from Hyodo’s teeth grindin’…

Izumi: Are you ok with it too, Sakyo-san?

Sakyo: Yeah, no problem.

Izumi: Then it’s decided.

Banri: M’kay, how ‘bout we move our stuff when we get home from school?

Azami: Sure.

-pause-

Azami: (Juza-san’s not home yet, but I wonder if it’s ok to leave my stuff around here.) Ah, Juza-san. Welcome home.

Juza: …I’m back. That reminds me, we’re sharin’ a room startin’ tonight, huh? Have you brought all your luggage already?

Azami: I brought most of the stuff I need.

Juza: Sorry I couldn’t help.

Azami: There wasn’t that much, so it’s fine. ‘Kay, once again, I’ll be in your care for the next few days.

Juza: Yeah, same here. …

Azami: (Hm? Juza-san’s taking some sorta box out…) What’s with that huge load of sweets… Are you always stocked up that much?

Juza: …Wanna bite?

Azami: Nah, I’m good.

Juza: I see. …*nom, nom*…

Azami: That looks fricken sweet…

Juza: Yeah, it’s sweet ‘n tasty.

-pause-

Izumi: Are you done moving your things?

Azami: Yeah, I finished a while ago.

Banri: I gotta get my stuff soon too, eh?

Azami: That reminds me, Banri-san, do you know about the huge stash of secret sweets Juza-san keeps in a box?

Banri: Ahh, that. He’s been stocking up a lot recently. He’s eatin’ ‘em when he has spare time, right?

Azami: Seriously?

Banri: Aight, I should probably go get my stuff now too.

Izumi: A huge stock-pile of sweets, huh… Eating too much isn’t good for you, right? Azami-kun, can you keep a bit of an eye on him for me?

Azami: Got it.

-pause-

Azami: (It’s already this time, huh? Considerin’ my skin, I gotta head to sleep soon.)

Juza: …

Azami: (! That’s the box of sweets.) You’re kiddin’, are you planning on eatin’ that now? If you eat at this hour, it’ll affect your sleep and it’ll be bad for your skin too, you know? Our show’s comin’ up soon so if you’re gonna eat, then do it at least 3 hours before bed.

Juza: At least 3 hours before, huh… I was gonna eat this pastry but… …I got it. I’ll stop for today.

Azami: Uh no, stop until the show’s over.

Juza: …I’ll make an effort.

-pause-

Banri: …

Sakyo: Oi, Settsu. How many times do I gotta tell you not to use your phone while it’s charging? Its battery life will deplete and the electricity bill will also blah, blah, blah…

Banri: ‘Kay, ‘kay, I understand. …*Sigh*. I was freed from Hyodo’s teeth grinding, but now it’s this. Maybe it'd be better if this switch could end soon after all...

(requested by anonymous) 

Every king needs an advisor and a physician - one to ensure they do not stray from the path they’ve set for themselves, and at times do what must be done so their liege doesn’t have to, and the other keep them alive so they can stay the course. This is the natural way of things, and for King (well, technically Queen) Theresa, hers were no doubt some of the finest ever granted the position...at least somewhat because they both could fill either role as needed.

Much in the same way either or both kept her delightfully warm on the brisk high-altitude nights aboard her flagship.

Perhaps in another time, or she’d actually been able to claim her throne properly rather than have her usurper of a brother striving to snatch it form her, Theresa would never have consorted with either of them, but it was hard to deny there was a certain symmetry in her life thanks to it. On the one hand, the Doctor - not only a proficient physician, but tactician as well - was a constant delight thanks to a well of eccentricities that persisted despite his rather dour attitude and grave responsibility as her left hand; he wore the weight of his actions like a greatcoat, but Amiya could make him smile...and the King could as well, and a little more, albeit behind closed doors. Dr. Kal’tsit, in contrast, bore the equally-burdensome role of Theresa’s right hand, handling the day-to-day and logistical concerns of their operations as well as managing their secondary goal of eradicating Oripathy, but lacked the stained conscience of her counterpart and therefore visibly enjoyed life more. Not quite to the same degree as the King herself, of course - after all, she made an active effort to be the shining beacon of their organization, because her role as figurehead demanded it and there was no way to repress the light she carried with her - but she could do what the Doctor and Theresa could not, which was be openly affectionate with either of them in public and make it seem natural. It was a wonderful life, being able to share it with both of them, even if the King did wish it was under better circumstances...Still, beggars could not afford to be choosers, and royalty even less so, so she made the best of the hand she’d been dealt and strove to win each little victory as they came their way.

Starting with waking up the pair who’d decided to use her chest as a pillow and thereby made it impossible to leave the bed. “Doctors, it’s morning...Rise and shine, my loves~”

“Five more minutes,” the Doctor grumbled. “The good pillows are on sale.”

“Marshmellows~” Kal’tsit replied before nomming the one in front of her.

One “kyaa~” later, and they were getting dressed for the day, the Feline positively steaming and her counterpart’s smile masked by...well, his mask. Theresa had never understood why he wore a mask in public - his scars were rather spectacular, in her eyes - but apparently he was worried about someone recognizing him from somewhere else? What a mystery.

“The supply team should be back by now,” he noted as he pulled his sleeve over a concealed blade. “I’ll debrief with them before joining you on your rounds, my liege.”

“Likewise, once I’ve seen to Amiya and the urgent cases. Try not to keep us waiting, Doctor.” She winked at him from across the room.

He froze for a moment before shaking his head. “I swear, you’ve weaponized that charm of yours. Your Highness.”

“One moment, Doctor.” The King closed the distance as he went for the door; she lifted his mask for a kiss. “Alright, now you’re released. We’ll see you soon.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” His face was wonderfully red as the Doctor repositioned his mask and left to go about his morning errands.

Kal’tsit passed Theresa, still at the door, but spun around to give her a hug before leaving. “He’s almost cute when he’s embarrassed, isn’t he?”

“Almost?” Kiss number two; now she was ready for the day. “Bring Amiya with you today, if she’s not too busy with her Arts lessons. I want to ask her about a drawing she made for me.”

“A drawing? How did she give it to you without my seeing it first?”

The King booped the Feline’s nose. “The little Lupo she talks to, with the red hood?”

“Hmm...Thank you for reminding to check on her as well. I’ll bring both of them with me.” Kal’tsit sighed as she broke off the embrace. “You have a check-up at 1030; I’ll see you then, if not earlier.”

“Until then, dearest~” She waved as Kal’tsit left before turning back to the bedroom...She kind of needed to finish dressing herself.

Most days, Theresa left their room by herself and spent an hour or so roaming the halls. She might check in with Closure on the process of renovating their vessel, which they’d started but hadn’t been able to finish before it took to the skies out of necessity; she might make conversation with an Operator or two if she passed them in the hall, asking about their plans for the day or a lightly philisophical discussion to help her mental gearworks spin up for the day’s diplomacy and politicking; on a particularly light day, she might even have time to see the children in class and get a read on how far along they were in their education. This morning, however, the halls were oddly quiet, and so the King was left alone with her thoughts. ‘I wonder if they know yet?’ She pondered, a sad smile on her face. ‘They must, at least on some level, but do they fully understand what it means for me? For them? I hope they learn sooner rather than later...It will be easier on them that way.’

“Your Highness?” A small Cautus with soft blue eyes barely visible behind her bangs was lightly tugging on her shirt. “Are you okay? You look blue.”

“Well, if it isn’t Miss Amiya. I’m okay, little rabbit; simply thinking about the future.” The King squatted so she could be closer to eye level with Rhodes Island’s heir apparent.

Amiya nodded. “Okay. Did you like my drawing?”

“I did. It was very colorful.” Theresa moved the Cautus’ bangs aside. “You drew the Doctors as blue in your picture, and you drew me in black. Do you remember why?”

“Um...Not really. Sorry, your Highness.”

She simply smiled and patted Amiya’s head. “It’s alright, little rabbit. Did you see Dr. Kal’tsit already?”

“She said I’m doing good, so I could walk with you today!” The end of the serious conversation clearly made her happier. “Oh, and she said to tell you to eat breakfast, if you haven’t.”

“She knows me so well...Have you eaten yet?”

The Cautus shook her head. “Not yet. I have to wait for my medicine to stop bubbling first.”

“Then we can wait for it to stop in the cafeteria together.” The Queen offered Amiya her hand. “Shall we?”

“Okay!” She took her hand, and they walked to the cafeteria, talking about everything and nothing as you do with the little ones.

It was the sort of thing Theresa was sure she’d miss when she died, but she had a little time left...just a little.

-------------------

“So that’s the sort of person she was,” the Doctor sighed, lying in bed. “The kind that made the world a better place just by existing. And they say I had a hand in her death?”

“That’s what I’ve heard, and what W believes more than anything,” Kal’tsit replied from the bathroom a short distance away.

He set aside the book he’d taken out; tonight wasn’t the night to finish it. “It makes sense why she was so mad at me when we first met, at least...Did she ever talk about what would happen when she took back the throne?”

“Never in concrete terms, like she did with most things.” The Feline stared at her reflection for a moment. “She knew long before any of us what would happen to her, but she couldn’t tell us without destroying the foundation we laid for the true successor.”

“Amiya?”

She nodded. “Amiya. The things I’ve heard all these years make sense now, in a way they wouldn’t have without...without...” She blinked the tears back.

“If you need to cry, Kally, don’t stop yourself on my behalf.” The Doctor felt a little misty-eyed himself, although he wasn’t completely sure why. “It never gets easier, does it?”

“Some of them do, but not hers. What was it that tipped you off in the end, if you don’t mind me asking?”

He cocked his head. “You mean what told me we were a couple before I lost my memories?”

“Exactly.” Kal’tsit turned off the light as she turned around, standing in the threshold but looking at the Doctor head-on. “I can’t think of a single thing that would’ve tipped you off, but almost from the first day you seemed to think of us that way.”

“Honestly? I knew from the moment I looked you in the eye for the first time; there was something about your eyes, the way they shone for the briefest instant before flatlining, that told me everything I needed to know. It took some time for me to act on that intuition, since things have been so hectic, but...you look beautiful tonight.”

Something the old Doctor had never felt he needed to say, but hit home nonetheless. “Thank you. I don’t know what to expect from thi- from us anymore.”

“Neither do I.” The Doctor’s hand slid back and forth in the empty space next to him. “If this doesn’t work out the way you want it to, tell me. I won’t be offended.”

“I know you won’t.” ‘He wouldn’t have either,’ she noted to herself as she flipped off the lights and sat next to him.

For a little less than a minute, they stayed like that; on instinct, however, he found her hand in the dark and grasped it, and a flood of emotion washed over them both. Neither of them understood it fully, but it was enough to assure them that, at least at some point, they had understood each other very well, and that time could make up for some of what they’d lost, even if it would never fully repair the divide. Kal’tsit leaned against him, crying into his shoulder, and the Doctor held her as if he’d spent his entire life doing just that.

From the other side of the wall, a much older blue-eyed Cautus wiped a tear from her eye as she felt the emotional hurricane rock her family - at least, what was left of them. Did she have the strength to see this through? Was she really the sort of person that could be a king, but before even that, a kingslayer? Her eyes drifted to the drawing she’d found in her belongings the other day while cleaning, two blue figures on either side of a black one...and a smaller, bright yellow one with a pair of long lines coming out of their head. Maybe that younger Amiya had already known what she’d have to become, what she was destined for. In some small way, the thought gave her hope.

What gave her even more hope, though, was the reunion going on in the next room, and the mending of a bond she’d never thought severable.  Later that night, maybe she’d knock on the door and see what they’d do if she told them she’d had a bad dream...Time surely did strange things to them all, didn’t it?

hey !!! today i’m gonna be trying to write some fluff to calm myself down and also try out something new in the process ! hope whoever reads this enjoys it :)

characters: kenma, nb y/n (self insert or oc) and a bit of kuroo :D

warnings or possible triggers: ear biting, neck kissing, wrists/arms being touched, stressed/overworked/anxious reader, and a thunderstorm/heavy rain ! please do not continue reading if any of these things could trigger any unwanted reactions ! maybe the next time i write some fluff or sfw fanfics you’ll be able to read ‘em !

a nice welcome home.

after a long day at your new job, a manga artist, you decided to end your shift for the night and head back home. you wiped the sweat off your forehead but the stress wasn’t easy to get rid of. the office wanted the manga to be done as soon as possible and you couldn’t get the last few pages right. it was very obviously a hard week for you. luckily it was a friday so you’d get saturday off, but sunday you had to go back.

after getting yourself together you stuffed your things into your bag and walked out to get in your car.

“hey there y/n! lookin great huh, i see you’re ready to go home to lil kenken right?? how you doing?” said kuroo as he ran into you right outside the establishment. he worked near that area and decided to stop by, luckily he walked into you at the right time.

“im doing well,, i guess.. i just was overthinking a bit but i’m sure tomorrow, or even tonight, i’ll be able to refresh myself and relax..” you said almost trying to avoid contact for the time being. kuroo noticed you didn’t seem to excited about things and so he decided to give you some words of encouragement.

“i’m sure whenever you get to relax you’ll be ready for work again! and besides you got a lil pal waiting for you at home, don’t you look forward to that?? he’s pretty good at comforting,, and i should know”- he chuckled. you gave him a smile and nodded in agreement. you let out a sigh and walked off to your car right before kuroo grasped your left shoulder and pulled you in for a hug. he patted your head with his hand and reassured you. you got a little flustered,, but kept it in.

“you’re doing amazing, really. i know you work really hard, so make sure to cool off, ‘kay? you got this in the bag!” he said, you clearly being able to sense his smile through his decently raspy voice. he let you go and gave you a little push to get you back together after the short hug, and you both waved goodbye.

well that was quite an experience. you knew that kuroo wasn’t a homewrecker, especially when it came to kenma’s s/o, but he was getting much more comfortable and supportive with you. that made you happy, but after thinking about what had just happened, you refocused and started your car.

you drove through the freeway and noticed all the billboards promoting businesses that you knew you’d rather be working at. you meet a stop sign and let out a sigh while other cars drive by. when it’s time to go, you go, as one would normally do, but you noticed that some water droplets were gently hitting the windshield of your car. it started getting a bit rougher and even more water droplets starting hitting your windshield, only this time they got louder.

you could hear all the other cars driving by thanks to the water that was slightly flooding the streets. you make a swift turn into your apartment complex and slowed down as you arrived at your apartment. you park at your designated spot and turn off your car. you adjust your bag straps that had fallen off your shoulder without you realizing, and reached into the back side of your car to get your umbrella. unfortunately it wasn’t there so you’d have to get wet, and it was raining pretty heavily. you sighed and reached into your cup holder for your apartment keys and got the right key ready in your hand for when you got to the door.

you slam your car door and lock it.

“goddamit” you let out as you start feeling your clothes getting humid. your shoes were hitting the floor inundated by the rain. you started running towards your door which fortunately was on the first floor. you inserted the key into the keyhole and turned your wrist gently as you peeked into the window. you could see the flashing lights of the tv. kenma was probably playing games again.

you closed the door and brushed yourself off as you glanced at kenma who had turned to see what that noise was. he knew it was you but he still wanted to see your pretty tired face. you gently took of your shoes and put your jacket and bag on the racks on the wall next to the door. you pushed your shoes with your foot and went to put on your favorite slippers.

“hey love, how did today go..?” asked kenma in a soft gentle voice, as to not startle you while you still were trying to shake off the water that had been absorbed by your clothes. you look up at kenma with an exhausted expression. “today was very stressful,, my manager told me to hurry up,, the artwork is due literally wednesday of next week and i can’t even get the stuff i’m working on now finished and-” kenma stopped your rambling by gesturing a hug and making gentle movements to come here with his small hands. you looked at him with a surprised expression, and then quickly changed it to a pleasant smile.

by then you realized that he had paused his game and the music of the game was still playing in the background, only a little quieter then when it’s actually on. you head to his little pile of blankets and pillows, and saw your favorite stuffed animal and a few snacks already set up for you for when you came home. that made you feel a lot better than before. “hey kenken, what’s all this stuff?” you asked acting clueless, but also trying to hear what he had to say about the setup. “it’s just a few things for you to pick out from,, i even brought you your little frog plushie; i know you like it..” he said while grabbing it and handing it to you. he blushed a little as you took it from his hands, gently caressing his as you did.

you took a look at a frog plushie but before you could get a full 360° look of it you saw kenma’s slender hands covering the two small black eyes of the plush. he set the plush down on your lap and grabbed your wrists. he knew your wrists were probably tired and sore after all that nonstop sketching at work, so he started gently rubbing them with his thumbs. he looked at your hands as he did, and then looked up at you. you had a cute shocked expression which he loved to paint on your face. he giggled and then went in for a kiss on the cheek.

after his soft tender lips were lifted from your cheek, you felt a bit of rustling and then a little blow on your ear which made you squirm. he bit it gently and kissed the side of your neck, while you sat there a bit flustered. kenma was usually the type to just give you a kiss on the cheek and continue playing his game, but recently you were getting much more attention from him. you didn’t mind it though, you kinda enjoyed it rather.

“you don’t have to give me neck kisses y’know..” you said hoping that he wouldn’t listen and just continue for a good minute. he of course didn’t stop and completely brushed off what you had just said. he moved to your shoulder and started kissing it, and then he pulled away. he look at you and gave you a smile, leaning in for a kiss afterwards. you kissed back and then grabbed him by the shoulders. both of you were blushing intensely, his blush just a little more calmed down, but it was there nonetheless.

“let’s eat some snacks, shall we?” you say after pulling away from the kiss and sitting there being a hot mess. you could hear the rain only getting rougher and rougher, and at one point you heard thunder. it was gonna be a loooong night. “let’s do that then” he said smiling as he reached over to the bowl full of strawberry pocky and small chocolate chip cookies. he fed you a stick of the strawberry coated biscuit and you nommed down on it happily, while he pulled away the excess pocky stick and brushed crumbs off of your lips with his thumb. his hand grasped the side of your face and he went to kiss your cheek once again before feeding you the rest of the pocky.

kenma turned to face the tv and then slowly got up to grab another controller for you to play with, since he was already playing a game and he wanted you to play along as well. you watched his flimsy self get up and come back to the floor in front of the couch. he sat down criss cross apple sauce style and handed you the controller, all while the thunder was still alive and the rain was still pouring.

“do you want to keep playing this game or... another game i have in our room...?” asked kenma in hopes that you’d say you wanted to continue playing the game he was already playing. he didn’t want to get up when he was right next to you. “this game seems fun, i’d love to play it with you” you said happily as you took the controller he had handed you and held it correctly so that he could get the multiplayer setting on and you’d be ready when he did.

you heard silly sound effects from when he switched the setting to multiplayer, and it filled you up with motivation for some reason. the thunderstorm and heavy raining didn’t bother you anymore because you knew you’d be safe with kenma. the music of the game got louder and kenma slowly lowered it a bit as to not disturb the apartment building. “you have to jump over the brown mushrooms and then jump into the green tubes and-” “..super mario bros..? don’t worry baby i know how to play this one” you winked at him and he let out a giggle.

he layed his head on your left shoulder which made you blush, and you followed it with a wide-eyed expression. he didn’t look too into it though, he was just focused in the game, and for him it was only nature. you rested your head on top of his and continued to play. time passed and it was around 2 AM. you and kenma had played for hours, and kenma was seemingly getting pretty tired, just as you were. “hey bub do you want to maybe go to bed now?” you suddenly paused the game and asked. “bed..?” he looked confused. he directed his eyes to the couch behind you two and you followed, quickly looking back at him.

“do you want to sleep on the couch tonight?” you put the puzzle pieces together. he nodded his head. “you don’t have work tomorrow so i figured you wouldn’t mind sleeping with me on the couch....” he said quietly in hopes that you would. you grabbed his face with your warm hands and kissed his forehead. “yeah of course i do!” you said trying to be enthusiastic, although your tired face barely allowed it. you both got up and he laid on the couch. you tried getting the bowl of snacks from off the floor and bring them to the kitchen but kenma quickly pulled you into his arms.

“tomorrow.. tomorrow we can clean up...” he said exhausted as you now were covering his body with yours. you adjusted yourself as did kenma and you both got into ‘cuddle mode.’

his arms wrapped around your body and you slowly started to kiss him all over. he laid his head back onto the arm of the couch. you relaxed your stiffened body, and closed your eyes as the music from the video game slowly faded away into nothing. kenma’s arms rubbed your back and moved to your head and shoulders. he gave you a final kiss on your head before drifting off to sleep.

that’s all ! i hope you enjoyed this self insert x kenma fluff fanfic ! if this does any good i’ll consider writing more fluff in the future :))

———————————————————————

Tommy stretched out across his nest. He was waiting for Willbur to get here. He had meet the human s few months ago and even if Tommy scared Will at first, the naga and the human had gotten really close. Willbur had started to visit Tommy almost every day m before sunset. And it seemed Willbur would be a little late today. But it wasn’t to late yet so he wasn’t to worried.

Now Tommy was a little worried. The sun had set a few minutes ago and Willbur was no where to be found. Tommy was pacing his cave wandering if he should go and try and find the human. The forest Tommy lived in wasn’t the safest for humans. Tommy was about to leave when he flicked his tongue out and caught Willbur’s scent. His head snapped to the cave entrance. He smiled seeing Willbur walk in. He went and immediately picked him up.

“Where the hell have you been? It’s past sundown, it’s not safe....” Tommy trailed off as he looked closer at the human in his hands. Willbur was shaking, and his skin was cold. Too cold to be any good. “You’re fucking freezing!?” Tommy said curling his hands up more.

Willbur sighed relieved as he finally got to the cave. He hugged his arms around himself as he walked into the cave. Before he could even say anything he was suddenly picked up. He tensed up for a second before relaxing into the warmth. He looked up at Tommy with a sheepish smile. “I’m ok. It’s just a little cold.” He said shivering.

“Why did you come tonight if it’s so cold?” Tommy poked Will in the stomach. He was upset with the little human.

“B-because I said I would. I didn’t want you to think I forgot.” He knew how lonely Tommy got even if he never said it. “Didn’t want you to worry.”

Tommy huffed going back to his nest. “Well now I’m definitely worried.” Humans, he had come to learn, got hurt way to easily. “Now how the fuck am I supposed to keep you warm? I’m not that warm.....” he couldn’t use his body heat to keep him warm because he wasn’t warm enough to do much.

“Well, ummm...” Willbur shuffled nervously thinking of one thing that would most definitely keep him warm. “You could do that one thing?” Will said hoping Tommy would catch on, not wanting to say it.

“What thing? That doesn’t help much.” Tommy said holding Willbur close to his face to keep an eye on him.

“W-well, you know...the thing.” Willbur sighed not sure how to ask. He had made Tommy promise never to do it after that one time. He leaned forward putting his hands on Tommy lip. “This thing...” he said softly.

Tommy froze as he felt small cold hands on his lips. He pulled Willbur away. “What?!” He shook his head. Why did Will bring that up? “Did you hit your head?”

“No!” Willbur held onto Tommy’s fingers as he was moved quickly. “I just- I remember it being warm. Warmer then you are out here.” He said softly.

“You made me promise to never do that though? I thought it scared you?” Tommy couldn’t believe they where talking about this. He had thought they never would.

“I did, but I trust you more now. I know you wouldn’t hurt me.” Willbur said softly. He normally didn’t get soft with Tommy very much. But he needed Tommy to knows he did trust him.

Tommy hugged Willbur to his chest. “You trust me enough to... to eat you?” He asked saying it finally. Did Willbur really mean it?

“Yes I trust you enough. And you never explained it last time that it was safe before you shoved me into your mouth. What was I supposed to think?!” Willbur said pushing at Tommy’s chest.

“I didn’t know humans didn’t have storage stomachs! I thought you would have known what I was doing....” he did make a big mistake back then. He thought he had lost Willbur forever.

Willbur chuckled wiggling in Tommy’s soft grip. “Well we both know more now.”

Tommy brought Will back up to his face. “Yeah, I guess so...” He fluffed up Willbur hair. “You really want me to do this?”

“Yes. It’s so cold just do it.” He shivered.

“Ok...” Tommy sighed. He brought Willbur closer and opened his mouth. He very carefully pushed Willbur inside. He was careful of his sharp fangs. He hesitantly curled his tongue around Will as he closed his mouth.

Will relaxed into the warmth with a sigh. He snuggled into the warm around him. It wasn’t nearly as bad as last time. He had nightmares weeks after last time. But this was just a soft comfortable warm. Not the suffocating humidity that he thought it was.

Tommy was relieved as he felt Willbur relax. This was definitely better without the struggling. He hummed softly pushing Willbur around to get him coated in saliva so the trip down would be easier.

Will could tell Tommy was being careful with him as he was pushed around the mouth. He let his body go limp simply letting himself enjoy this.

Tommy decided Willbur was ready to go down. He slowly tilted his head back letting Willbur have time to stop him.

Willbur gasped softly as he felt gravity shift and he started to slip back. He panicked for a second before relaxing again. This was Tommy, he was safe. He petted the tongue beneath him to let Tommy know he was ready.

Tommy smiled feeling Willbur per his tongue. He tilted his head back the rest of the way and swallowed. He pressed his fingers against his throat feeling Willbur slip past. He sighed contently leaning back in his nest. He rested a hand over where he felt Will fall into his storage stomach.

Willbur close his eyes as he was swallowed. He pressure was enough to hurt him. But it was firm pressing on all sides of him as he moved downwards. He wiggled a little out of nervousness but he wasn’t scared. He felt was space around him open up as he feel into the stomach, well storage stomach. Or whatever the hell tommy called it. He sighed at the warmth. It was almost overwhelming after being so cold. He walls around him where soft and damp. Not as wet or gross as he had remembered. He felt around a little finding a comfortable spot to sit down in.

Tommy thought it was a odd feeling, feeling Willbur walk around in his storage stomach. But he couldn’t help but start to purr. He had his human close and safe from the outside world. Nothing could hurt his human while Willbur was in there.

Will flinched as he heard a rumbling sound. At first he thought Tommy might be growling, but then realized he was purring. He chuckled finding a spot between to folds in the stomach to curl up in. He rubbed at a spot next to him. “I didn’t know you could purr big man.” He teased. It definitely seemed Tommy was enjoying this.

Tommy huffed curling his tail around himself. “Fuck off.” He grumbled. He was so glad Willbur trusted him with this. He could keep the most important thing he had safe. He rubbed at where he felt Will curl up.

Willbur laughed softly enjoying this. He smiled feeling Tommy rub at him from outside. It was like a massage. He closed his eyes, not like he could see much anyway. The sudden warmth was making him sleepy. “I’m going to fall asleep if you keep doing that.” He said.

“Then go to sleep.” Tommy said. He was tired himself. He was up later then normal waiting for the human. He closed his eyes hugging his middle. “I’m going to fall asleep too.”

Willbur nodded. “Ok. Good night Tommy.” He said. He hoped he got to do this more. Out in the forest he never really felt safe. But here he did, here he could finally relax.

“Night Will.” Tommy mumbled falling asleep. After worrying about Willbur all day he could sleep knowing He was safe.

Willbur smiled happily. He fell asleep listening to Tommy’s breathing and heartbeat. He was definitely doing this again.

I realize I forgot to make a gish post from the mini hunt! Below a cut in case nobody wants to see any gishing. :’D

We were giddy in the group chat late on the last night and decided to take pics of our legs for our family portrait pic... Item 85:  Awkward fantasmily photo day! Let’s see the family portrait from your fantasy realm. (You may use digitally alter/photoshop to include family members.)

This is obvs just my contribution to it, but I freaked myself out every time I’ve looked down at the fading markerface on my knee since then :’D

Another item I was goaded into attempting with like an hour left in the hunt: Jensen Spackles. Item 45:  Jensen Spackles. Create a bas-relief portrait of Jensen Ackles, out made of spackle, caulk, or toothpaste.

(I’ve never done a bas relief in my life, so this was an interesting learning experience... also he now lives on my mantle next to his abomination twin, Jensen Apples the dried apple head. Their eyes follow you wherever you go in the living room.)

Item 10:  The Sword in the Scone. That's not a typo.

I submitted a video of me pulling the sword out to dramatic music, but this still is Pretty™. Also, the scone is blueberry. Nom :’D

Item 4, after the zoom panel on Gastroegyptology with Seamus Blackley:  The Plague Period has felt like a never-ending story and it’s time to break the spell — by breaking bread. Bake a loaf of bread in the shape of an Auryn (a twist on the ouroboros, an Egyptian snake-symbol perpetually in a cycle of self-regeneration). Submit an image of your bread with a recipe beside it written by the elders. To complete the spell and help us all rise together, you must eat the bread after you submit your picture.

Trust me, eating the bread was the best part of the entire hunt. Not visible in this image: the fact it’s stuffed with mozzarella, rosemary, and garlic. 

Item 21:  Excalibrrrr! Forge a mighty mythical sword out of snow or ice.

the only snow we had left here was the massive snirt piles in big parking lots. In the interest of “well this is better than nothing I guess...” I carved an Excalibur into the snirt, but it was gross and snirty even half a foot deep into the pile... not to mention pretty solidly ice (and still taller than me... so much snirt).  So I dropped my angel blade in the carving for size scale... this isn’t the lil hair stick one from the scone, this is full-size angel blade)

Item 42:  Create an intimidating D&D Green Slaad monster (I said what I said) made ONLY from fresh fruits and vegetables. (Then, you must defeat the Slaad by eating it. This is a zero-waste Hunt!)

I stir fried the Slaad and his mushroom companions for dinner tonight with a bit of onion. He was delicious. RIP Slaad.

Item 40:  Show someone doing a job that didn’t exist prior to 1900, but translated into what it would be back in the 1500s. - Monica D.

Renaissance Starbucks Barista. I’m disappointed I can’t read the sign better, but when you’re invading starbucks at closing time you take what you get :’D

Item 63:  SIDE-BY-SIDE. Sometimes it's easy to forget the magic of little things. Remind yourself: using trick photography or whatever magic you know, make yourself very, very tiny and contemplate the big, beautiful world around you. Other times, it’s important to remember how big and powerful you are. Make yourself into a giant. Submit both pictures, side-by-side. - Inspired by Mieke

Biggest benefit of having an itty bitty angel blade and a gigantic one as well :’D

I did a few other things, some video items, but these were my favorites this go-around. :D
