Kuroshitsuji—"I do not fear death."

➵Summary:Ciel x reader "Aishiteitanoni"

➵Warning:Major character Death

➵A/N:this trend is all over tik tok with project sekai, butttt I decided to do it with our Victorian child, so enjoy~! Also if you want the translation of the lyrics here the link

karameta kodou sasageta mono

You were Ciel's new betrothed after he and Lizzy broke off, based on what you know Lizzy found someone she actually loved romantically and realized she only loved Ciel platonically, after you became Ciel betrothed he offered you to live with him in his manor, and you didn't mind that at all it was nice, getting to wake up and see Ciel still tired trying to wake him from his sleepiness, usually working out greatly because Sebastian would open the curtain and the morning shin would usually wake Ciel up, you didn't have to worry about always having to give Ciel attention because he didn't need that, it was a nice life

wasurenai yo ano kioku mo

You remember many memories with Ciel, some that were funny and some that weren't, you remembered the cold winters him remembering the accident and you comforting him, Ciel may be cold hearted but aren't we all? After all that's just how being human is, being cold towards people except yourself, you remember all the dinners you had with Ciel and the delicious breakfast Sebastian made for you both, you remember helping the servants and Ciel telling you to not to, saying it's embarrassing for someone like you to do that but in reality he was worried, you will get hurt

karadajuu ni kizamitsukeyou motto, motto motto

You remember events in which you in fact got hurt, scratching your knee or having a little cut, Ciel would be a bit worried telling Sebastian to bandage you up, and to not let you get injured again, while it was odd for Ciel to show so much love you understood him too, he already lost his previous betrothed while yes it's because she found true love for herself, but what if something similar happen to you, yes he would he happy but he also loves you too much

nigasanai yo anata no koto

Ciel grew to care for you so much, ordering Sebastian to make sure you are safe and to never hurt, no matter what happens you are to be safe, and of course Sebastian listened

"yes, my lord"

Ciel also learned to try to show you some form of affection, he's still not comfortable showing a lot because of trauma he went through, but a little kiss won't hurt especially if the person is you, the one fiancé he won't dare to let go of, unless forced too

toraretakunai yo watashi no mono

Ciel remembers when he once heard a sound outside of his study, calling Sebastian immediately to look for you and take you to safety him too, when you were safe hidden with Ciel he would put a protective arm around you, to make yourself feel safer

"I promise I will protect your love, no matter what or how"

hitotsu ni narou mi mo kokoro mo motto,motto motto

Sebastian would be a liar if he said, you don't smell like his master you start spending so much time with Ciel, you unique smell just went away unless you are wearing a perfume, but even then Sebastian can smell Ciel scent on you, but finding it difficult to find your unique smell, making it obvious you and Ciel are getting closer, maybe even becoming one

kawakikitta omamagoto

Eventually the Phantomhive servants heard good news, you were officially moving into the manor, the servants could see the little smile on their master face while giving you a tour, even though you already been in the manor, Ciel wanted to show you around again as an official welcome to his manor and life, Ciel loved you dearly and knew he wanted to live a long life, with you but... You don't always get the stuff you want, and with the case of Ciel he tends to lose everything he cares about, unknowingly to Ciel someone got to you, someone who wanted him dead for a while, and what the best way of ruining Ciel life other than having his fiancé against him? And well that's happened

aishite ita. aishite ita no ni.

Sebastian was helping the servants with a little annoyance, until her heard the sound of a stab and ran with the servants towards the main entrance, only to see you on top of Ciel stabbing him with a sword, Sebastian was about to attack you until Ciel spoke, with a shaken tone probably because he was losing blood

"Sebastian... Don't you dare hurt them!"

"My lord"

With a weakened movement he took his eye patch off

"That's an order!"

And well Sebastian couldn't exactly do anything

koushite yaru, uragirimono wa.

Everyone watched as Ciel slowly closed his eyes, giving them clear proof that he was dead, with that said they also noticed a little thing, even when you were stabbing him, killing him he had a hand on your waist keeping you close to him, before it fell down even more proof that he was dead

kaeshite kure watashi no omoi o.

Even after he was dead you kept stabbing Ciel, you kept going, getting blood all over your outfit, letting out your anger on Ciel's dead body, Sebastian wanted to stop you and so did the servants but Ciel ordered them to not do it, love can get you blind, and Ciel was the best prove he loved you so much, so much that he let you kill him, I guess it's worth to say how Sebastian learn, that love is humanity greatest thing and worst one too, he wonders how Ciel felt when you attacked him

aishite ita, aishite ita no ni

After a few minutes you randomly stopped, and your eyes widened with realization... You just murdered Ciel, you killed the one you love

"Ciel...? Ciel please wake up..."

"lady/sir [Y/N] , Let's get you cleaned up"

"no...No! I'm not going nowhere!"

Sebastian was about to walk up to you and pick you up, getting you washed and put into nice clothes again, but before he could do that you grabbed the sword again and stabbed yourself in the stomach, falling onto Ciel everyone rushed over to you but before they knew it, you died too. And this is how the Phantomhive name disappeared together with the [L/N] name, with those who were supposed to get married burried together, and the manor becoming a museum, where people can learn about the history of Ciel Phantomhive and his fiancé [Y/N] [L/N]

zutto….

I adore you too much to hate you now

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna x afab! brown reader

This short fic is written mostly in second person PoV. Character has a name but it's not heavily used. I'm about to ferally self-insert into the following work.

The fic is set in a feudal time period so there are themes of prostitution and non-con/dub-con included.

Minors, DNI. Word count: 2.9k.

CW: themes of bloodshed, prostitution, scars, little bit of non-con/dub-con, description of smut, oral sex (f! receiving), voyeurism, auralism, submission, worship, PIV, Sukuna's true form (no smut with true form); Uraume is an Oiran (with they/them pronouns) [no, I won't explain it]

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who fucks a different working woman of the household every night because none of them satisfies him enough for a double take. Concubines visit his palace in rotations. Some never make their way out.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who despises the cooks in his household — why is the rice never soft, curry too salty, fish not salted enough, soba soggy, desserts always dry? He has killed many a cook, replaced them with new ones, only to be disappointed in a different way.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who does not care who is hired in the kitchens, in the lawns, to clean, to wash his clothes, to keep it all running, but turns the house upside down if anything in his chambers is out of place.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who switches between his real form and human form depending on who he's with. Only Uraume has ever seen his true form, the Oiran who trains and dresses the girls before sending them to Sukuna's bed.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who takes one bite of a non-Japanese cuisine and his eyes blow wide in wonderment. He demands to see the cook immediately.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who looks at you once, drinks in all your amber glory with his lustful gaze, before asking, "What's for dessert?" You still haven't learned to speak or understand Nihongo so you must rely on Uraume-hime to talk on your behalf. All you know is to keep your sight fixed on the Lord's feet. Puny, filthy humans must never lock eyes with Sukuna-sama. Nobody told you so but you came to that conclusion yourself by the way the Oiran kept pushing your head down while in the Lord's chambers.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who groans, shifts in his seat when Uraume-hime tells him something in Nihongo. Before you know it, your hands are being pulled by two other women. You are laid on your back, the hem of your robe pushed up to your hips. You pull your thighs tight together, whispering words of resistance in your tongue, words unintelligible to the Lord.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who is intrigued by your foreignness. In his thick, all-knowing voice, he asks you something from between your legs. In his language, but you've been asked this before several times so you know the answer. "Anata no namaê wa?" He asks. You still can't see his face.

And you answer, Aparajita. The name of a beautiful blue flower laid at your God's feet as an offering. Literal meaning, unconquered. Your mother had given you the name, in hopes that you won't end up on the same path as herself. That you will escape the brothels of Bengal and find your own place in the world. Her dreams had come quite true, you had escaped. Only to then find yourself at the mercy of a creature you didn't quite understand.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who plays with your name on his tongue while his fingers play on your clit. Your hips have to be held down by Uraume-hime because of how much he's making you shiver with the most minimal touches. You've grown up in a bordello, even spent a night in a Japanese bathhouse before finding this job in Sukuna-sama's kitchen, but never have you heard of the woman being on the receiving end of pleasure.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who holds lengthy discussions with Uraume-hime while three of his fingers are knuckle-deep inside you. You have a palm over your mouth to keep you from gasping out but it's promptly removed by one of the women. When you look at her, she has nothing to say, only knotted eyebrows and a gaze filled with guilt. You know this will probably happen again, maybe you will be the one holding someone down, and you'll have the same guilt on your face.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who delights in the sound of you, pauses all conversations and trains his ears to your honeydew voice. When he places his mouth on your flesh, the pleasure tears you apart. Needy moans leak from your lips while he laps at you, taking his fill of dessert.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who wants you in his chambers every night now. And he wants you to understand what he's saying without Uraume translating and gesturing. It wastes a lot of time. Time he'd rather spend burying his cock down your pretty, mauve pussy. So he gets you a tutor. You are to spend your days learning Nihongo — initially spoken language only — and cooking for Sukuna-sama, and nights in his bed, face down, ass up, crying as loud as you can because that's what gets him off. Your voice.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who doesn't realize how long it has been since he's seen a different woman. You satiate him, more than enough.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who doesn't realize that he's slowly starting to wonder if he's enough for you. He watches you all day from the landing of his first floor quarters as you do your duties in the yard. Your dedication to learning a new language just for his sake is mesmerizing. How your delicate fingers wrap around the stem of the brush as you learn to draw the alphabet. The way your lips move as you repeat the tutor's words. When you sit down to cook for him, your leadership invigorates him. You assign jobs to others, teach the new hires how to mix spices, dice vegetables, stoke the coal until it's burning bright. He curses under his breath when the fire iron lands on the side of your feet, scalding your skin, making you hiss out in pain.

You laugh it off when someone brings you a mug of water, the sound of your joy enchanting to Sukuna-sama. He decides the fate of that coal poker. You're busy wrapping a piece of cloth around your wound when, out of nowhere, the iron rod catches on crimson hot fire. It scares your colleagues but you know exactly whose work that is.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who heals your wound when you're lying in his bed, freshly fucked, your back facing him since you're still not allowed to look at him. You've tried to leave wordlessly several nights but his strong arms have held you back, whispering a stern yet somehow soft "Tomaru." So you leave in the mornings and he watches with sleepy eyes as you drape your saree around yourself, clean and fix his bedchamber before leaving. He is a tiger when he fucks — he'd lay you down on any flat surface, take as long as he wants. The only criteria is he should be able to hear you. It's only collateral that the room would be in absolute disarray, left for you to fix lest Sukuna-sama's wrath befalls the entire household.

You sit up, alarmed, when you feel his hand on your feet. In your culture, only a child touches a woman's feet. Definitely not the Lord of the house, and definitely not the man whose bed you sleep in every night. He may not be human anymore, but he is your King, he is who you submit to. In a way, Sukuna-sama is your God and you are the flower at his feet.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who doesn't know that all his efforts and adjustments are being duly noted and silently appreciated. You wanted to wear sarees and ghagras instead of the furisode so Uraume-hime allowed it, even going to the extent of bringing in a tailor for you; you knew it was not their decision to make. When he noticed the dryness of your hands, of your back, he ordered for butter and cream to be made in abundance so the women of the household can use them for cosmetic purposes. The only woman he cared to have softer skin was you. When a beggar invaded your kitchen, he brought his trident to the doorway only to find them with a plate full of food, relinquishing their appetite. He may be a King, but you are his Goddess of peace, surfeit, pleasure, warmth — everything, everything nice.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who wants to know the color of your eyes — see for himself, not hear from Uraume how black your pupils are, it's like you absorb all the light of the world and reflect nothing back. It's not subtle that the Oiran despises you but Sukuna-sama knows they won't let a finger on you without his permission.

It's not like you've never looked at him. When he paces the yard in his crimson and black robe, sometimes in his white and blue robe, you're taken aback by his form, his posture, his powerful gait. The thick black lines on his face and wrists have always made you curious. The extra pair of eyes add a layer of smugness to his persona. One night, when he is tossing and turning in his sleep, you find yourself driven by urges you can't describe, to look at him. You give in. His broad back is marred by scars — slashes, burns, puncture wounds galore. And that forms more questions in your mind. If he can heal you, why doesn't he heal himself?

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who has always fucked you from behind, been satisfied with your voice guiding him to your peaks and lows. But tonight, he wants to see your face contort with pleasure when he settles his thick cock inside you. All his conviction flies out the window when he looks at you, helpless, shaking, not knowing where to look because nobody prepared you for this. He loses control, hungrily kissing your lips — something he has never done before — leaving marks on your jaw and neck. When he grabs your tits, and sinks his teeth on your fat, you cry out. You didn't know having the Lord feed on you would drive you so crazy, it would coax something unthinkable out of your mouth. Moans and gasps go eat grass, Sukuna-sama didn't know being called his name by his lovely, honey-skinned lover could send him deeper into his void of lust. And not just any name. Not even Sukuna-sama. You whisper, Ryo-sama. Ryo-sama. Like you've been thinking about this ever since he first touched you. Like you've been saying this name behind your sealed lips all these nights. He hasn't been called Ryo for years, never by anybody other than his human mother.

You've done it now. This is as far as you go, as far as your mother's ambitious naming could push you. When he pulls out of you and makes you sit up, all you know to do is bow to him, forehead touching the floor between the two of you. "Sumimasen. Sumimasen. Sumimasen, Sukuna-sama." You keep whispering in your awkward yet earnest accent.

He shifts on his knees, awkward for the first time ever in his immortality. "Look at me."

You keep your eyes trained to the ground, shaking your head.

"Look at me, Paro." His voice is surprisingly mild, like he's only amused. Paro is his name for you, chosen at first for convenience during moments of passion, but soon it became a name of ownership, nobody else could call you Paro, and now... it's something else.

"Is this a test, my Lord?" You're scared. You've been scared of him before. This is not something new.

"Look at me."

"You can make me look at you whenever you want, my Lord."

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who has never apologized to anyone, never pleaded. He never needed to, he is the King. He is so powerful, his blood boiling with cursed magic, he can take several lives with a flick of his wrist, instill fear in the common man just by revealing his true form. Here he is, sitting in front of a woman who cooks for him, keeps his household tidy, his cock warm. You have him wrapped around your pinky; you could poison his food, castrate him when he's hard, stab him once he's asleep with you in his arms. But you don't. You've either lost hope in life or your heart to him. He hopes it's the latter.

"P-please." He says under his breath. "Please look at me, Paro."

Your eyes shoot up in disbelief. The Lord pleading with you? Begging you? If Uraume-hime hears of it, they'd make sure you don't live to see another day. But, you don't care. Right now, you're swimming in the blood sea of your Ryo-sama's eyes. What a crime it is to have kept this vision from you! You don't want to look at anything else ever again. But your heart is feeble. You're afraid if you stare, you will end up offending him. So you try to look away but he catches your face in his grasp, squeezing your chin, tilting it up. He breathes on your face, on your mouth. "Is there anything in your heart for me?"

You nod. Not because you're scared of the consequences of telling him otherwise, not because you have nowhere else to go, but because it's true.

"You adore me?"

You nod again.

"Look at me, Paro. I don't want to have to tell you that again." You meet his eyes. "This is not my true form. I conceal it so as to not scare you."

"You scare me enough already, my Lord."

Sukuna laughs. After months of being in each other's company, you finally feel the tension easing. "I don't have a heart, Paro, but there's a warmth in me, somewhere, for you too. Maybe it is love."

"Maybe only lust."

"I've lived long enough to know the difference."

You avert your gaze and bow to him again. "Sumimasen, Sukuna-sama. I shouldn't have questioned you." You touch his feet like your mother had taught you to do with elders and idols of Gods and Goddesses. He is both to you. You're not sure where he learnt it from but every time you have done this before, he has placed a hand on your head, as if to bless you. This time, he takes your wrist to his mouth to kiss it.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who wants to trust you with his true form. He wants to tell you how he came to be cursed with that body, what he had done to deserve immortality, an eternity of wealth, monstrous glory and fame but also peerless, loveless, cold torture. He wants you by his side, not for a brief era of his limbo, but forever. Yet, he's sure you wouldn't want that kind of power. Your strength is in your altruism. To ask you to be by his side for centuries, maybe even millenia, will be to burden you, to keep you from ten where angels like you belong.

"Do you want me to see your true form, my Lord?" You read his mind.

"Would you like to see the real me? Aren't you afraid? I'm sure you've heard Uraume talk about it."

You toy with the answer in your head for some time. You are afraid. But you know he is probably more scared. So you ask, "Are you afraid I'll be repulsed, my Lord?"

He doesn't answer. You know him more than he wants to admit.

"I adore you too much to hate you now, my Lord." You confess. In a bold stunt, you raise yourself on your knees and put your hands around his neck. You can feel your shoulders tense in fear. But when his arms engulf you, you relax a little. You place your lips near his, desperate for his touch and he gives it to you. He kisses you fervently, smooches after smooches, tongues over each other, his strong hands kneading your skin because he needs your skin.

You gasp when it happens. It's not slow. It starts with the loving pads of his fingers being replaced by sharp nails. He holds your head tightly to his as he changes, denying you a glance until he's fully transformed. Your legs detach from the floor when he picks you up, hooking your feet behind his waist. You feel yourself rising against gravity, your thighs being pulled apart to capacity around his abdomen. All is still well, until you feel two more hands on you, something rough on your face, and something wet and slimy against your belly.

King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna who has never been ashamed, intimidated, now looking at you, wondering what you think of the villain who stands in front of you, asking you to love him regardless of how vile he is. You... you still want him, that's all there is to it. You look at his four muscular arms, the ghastly mask covering half of his face, the tongue sticking out of his abdomen, and most surprisingly, his two penises, and you still want him. All you're thinking of is how you can pleasure this him. He kneels in front of you, an act of submission, and he's still as tall as you are standing. You finally understand why only his bedroom has such a high roof.

You take his face in your hands, both the softer, a little human side and the rough, grotesque side, and you declare, "Ryo-sama, I will start a religion in your name, carve an idol akin to your true form, and tell people of your ire and also your sincerity. If you let me."

I felt like cooking so there is a second part. Go, read that too.

What’s In A Title?: Variations on “Master” in Black Butler

旦那様・当主・ご主人様・マイロード・様・坊ちゃん

Throughout the manga, we see various titles used for Vincent, Real Ciel, and Our Ciel, with these being more obvious in the original Japanese than in translation.

This post will focus on Sebastian and Tanaka and the various terms they use at different points within the story.

I personally am not an expert on keigo (the most formalized of speech that Sebastian speaks almost exclusively in in Japanese), so I am not really going to be going into the subtleties there. (Other posts have tackled this already, and probably with more expertise than I could.)

I also want to emphasize I am only now beginning to read the manga from ch 1 in Japanese (I’ve only read bits and pieces until the most recent ~25 chapters or so), so it is possible I am missing some examples or variations mentioned in other parts of the 200+ chapters not brought up here.

However, I think we can still look at these subtle differences even if you are an English speaker who knows zero about formality levels/humble speech in Japanese. And if you’re willing to take this journey with me despite these caveats, keep reading.

旦那様・当主・ご主人様・マイロード・様・坊ちゃん

Before I get into the variations between Sebastian and Tanaka, let’s look at some of the titles used:

The variations are as follows:

Dannasama - 旦那様

Toushu - 当主

Shujin - 主人

Goshujinsama - ご主人様

“my lord” - ご主人様・マイロード

Lord Ciel - シエル様

Bocchan - 坊ちゃん

Tanaka

Tanaka uses #1, #2, #3, #6, and #7. Let’s look at him first.

Dannasama - 旦那様

Means “master of the house,” but is also a term you’d use with a boss or someone of higher status, akin to “sir” in some usages in English.

Tanaka uses this term only for Vincent, so far as I know.

Toushu - 当主

Means “present head of the family.”

Tanaka uses this when speaking about/to Our Ciel when distinguishing him from his father, the previous head. For example, in the murder arc when he points out that it isn’t appropriate for the master of the house to be upset by a servant’s death.

Shujin - 主人

Means “head of the household” or “master” (among other uses). This version does not have the added formality/humbleness of the versions that Sebastian uses (the go- prefix and the -sama suffix).

Tanaka uses this when speaking generally about “the master” or “one’s master,” for example, in the end of the murder arc when he tells Sebastian a Phantomhive butler shouldn’t die before his master.

Lord Ciel - シエル様

Just Ciel + the kanji for “sama,” is how Tanaka refers exclusively to Real Ciel throughout the manga, to the best of my knowledge, when speaking to or of him specifically, individually.

Above, we see how in the example on the right (in the present), Tanaka calls RC “Lord Ciel” directly, and in the example on the left, how he refers to him that way in the past as well when not directly addressing him. (OC is “you” or 貴方 there.)

Bocchan - 坊ちゃん

Means “young master,” and is how Tanaka refers to Our Ciel almost exclusively (except for the examples above), not only before the tragedy but after. He immediately knew that Ciel was OC and not his twin, and we know this because of the address.

Sebastian seems to have picked up the title from Tanaka, because he does not use it before they see him. Above, he even puts special emphasis on the title when he uses it for the first time. And as far as I know, aside from “my lord,” he refers to Ciel as such exclusively thereafter.

旦那様・当主・ご主人様・マイロード・様・坊ちゃん

Sebastian

Sebastian uses #4, #5, and #7.

Goshujinsama - ご主人様

Means “head of the household” or “master” (among other uses). This version does include the formal/humble prefix “go-” and suffix “-sama.”

This is the first term that Sebastian uses for Ciel when he shifts from “you” (貴方, anata) to “master,” when they first begin establishing the contract. He also uses a variation on this I’ll explain next, but THIS version, said exactly like this, he stops using after their visit to Tanaka.

You can see in the above examples that he uses this address both before and after he assumes his butler form.

I expect that this is likely how Sebastian has referred to all his masters as I believe it’s the most humble/formal way of addressing one’s master (aside from more specific titles that may be used).

My Lord - ご主人様 ・マイロード

Even before he adopts “bocchan,” Sebastian sometimes refers to Ciel in English as “my lord,” as Yana informs us via the katakana spelling on the kanji. Yet she still writes it in keigo, as if to reminds us of the manner in which Sebastian speaks, and that even if he has dropped the uber formal “goshujinsama,” he is, in a sense, still using it throughout the story.

Bocchan - 坊ちゃん

As I explained above, this seems to be a manner of address Sebastian picks up from Tanaka. It seems to imply that he does so partly because he recognizes that the old man is aware of Ciel’s real identity (unlike Madam Red, who assumes he’s RC, which is why Ciel looks so dead-eyed while Sebastian is smirking).

Maybe he does it to mock him at first, a reminder that Sebastian knows he’s a liar. Maybe he adopts it because he’s never had a young master before and decides it could be a fun change of pace.

Unless Yana says something or reveals more insight into Sebastian’s POV, however, we may never know exactly why he made this shift and stuck with it.

旦那様・当主・ご主人様・マイロード・様・坊ちゃん

And that’s my rundown of how “master” is used in Japanese by Sebastian and Tanaka, depending on who they’re addressing or referring to and at what point we are in the story. As you can see, most of it is lost in translation.

I think Ch. 7/4 may have just given us both Crowley's identity as well as the identity of his "dear esteemed benefactor"

Obvs. Spoilers Ahead in this analysis and speculative hypothesis (which will link the prologue to the current events in Ch. 7):

This moment is the moment that sent me down this rabbit hole:

General Lilia essentially calling Lady Malenore Briar Country's "most evil" princess.

I went over the prologue again semi-recently to see if the knowledge we have gathered since the start of the game recontextulizes some things. And while the purpose of the analysis then was different, what I did take special note of was that Crowley is speaking to a different but very specific person. To quote the man himself (from the English version):

"Ah, my dear esteemed benefactor...

My proud, beautiful flower of evil.

You are truly the fairiest one of all."

The way Crowley addresses this person is very interesting because it at once seems very subservient and almost intimate.

But what is even more interesting is the original Japanese phrasing. I will go through the lines one by one to point out the notable details:

ああ‥‥‥愛しい我が君

"愛しい" (itoshii) is generally used to describe something that is lovely, dear. "我が君" (waga kimi) is generally understood to mean "my lord/ruler/master". The translation as "my dear esteemed benefactor" is... alright, though it does seem to detract a bit from the portrayal of this person as someone that has a lot of power over Crowley.

What I'd like to note though is that since Japanese is a very context dependent language this line might also be read a very different way: if "kimi" was used in the context that Crowley knows this person very well, being allowed to address them directly like this... then the line could also be read as Crowley calling this person "My beloved." There is still the underlying power dynamic underneath but it is more finely tuned and something that reminds me more of a pair of royals.

This would certainly not be the first way for someone to understand this line but subtext and double meanings can reveal a lot.

気高く麗しい悪の華

Notable here is mainly that Crowley is using a lot of archaic words to describe the person he is speaking to (e.g. using the kanji "華" instead of the modern "花" - both pronounced "hana," meaning flower). This may indicate that this person is of a people whose culture does not move as fast as the rest of the world's - still bound to old ways of speaking and thinking.

貴女こそが世界で一番美しい

Now, this last line is spicy. The English version of this line is pretty gender neutral after all - the fairest of them all. But what the original line makes very explicit is that Crowley is talking to/about a woman.

"貴女" (anata) - not "貴方" (anata), not "我が君" (waga kimi) but "貴女"

Crowley is addressing a noble woman directly in a manner that implies they are of equal standing. Like a husband addressing his wife.

Now let's circle back to that conversation Lilia, Silver, Sebek and co. are having about Malenore for a minute.

Because what Lilia also calls Malenore is this:

Malenore is the only daughter to Queen Maleficia and she the ruling Lady of "Wild Rose Castle" (野ばら城). Which is known to Silver only as "Black Scale Castle" (黒鱗城).

In other words, Malenore is one of the most powerful noble women in the Twisted Wonderland, she is strongly associated with with Wild Roses/ Briar Roses, and on top of that described as the "most evil" princess by her own general (whether in jest or not is of little consequence).

And this description should ring very familiar after going over Crowley's introductory monolog. A noble, beautiful "Flower of Evil" as it were.

But if that is the truth, then the familiar way Crowley addresses Malenore can only mean that Crowley's true identity is Malenore's husband. Who else would be allowed to speak to her im such an intimate and familiar manner.

Malenore's husband whose status hasn't actually been confirmed, other than he is missing in some capacity. And while I have seen a many transcriptions of his name, no one seems to have gotten it right yet:

"竜眠公レヴァーン"

The Sleeping Dragon Lord Raven

And what is the associated animal of our dear Night Raven's headmaster?

A crow.

A corvid.

A raven.

Crowley did always had something of the mad hatter to him, didn't he? And he might just have something with a raven and a writing desk..

After all, a raven is nevar the same front to back as back to front.

And thus, at the end, we have the lost parents of a little dragon, summoning a human with no magical ability to this Twisted Wonderland - a human that cannot be influenced by blot.

Curious, curious...

Curious indeed...

FFXIV Tips for Collecting All The Yokai Watch Weapons

First, the big five:

SORT YOUR INVENTORY BEFORE YOU START FATE GRINDING! You're gonna get a lot of useless enemy drops, so sort your items so you can easily find and sell them.

Spend your seals! Little by little, you're going to amass a lot of seals. Spend them on something! Buy a ton of Ventures. Or Material Containers: Even if you get a minion you already have, you can give them to friends.

Party up! Get friends; Invite complete strangers who are doing the FATES at the same time as you; Set up a Party Finder; If someone invites you to a party, ACCEPT! Just note: Even with a party, you need to get a sliver of enmity to get credit for the FATE.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET GOLD MEDAL ON THE FATE TO GET A LEGENDARY MEDAL! I've gotten so many on bronze and silver ratings.

TAKE YOUR TIME! It sounds like the event is lasting until the preparation of 7.0. You don't have to get all 17 weapons in one day. Maybe do 1-2 a day. For the sake of your sanity.

MORE STUFF BELOW

-Best classes: Blue Mage (you probably see why already), Tanks (enmity grants FATE credit), healers (same as Tank, but you can also heal party members)

-Recommended Blue Mage Abilities: Any ARR Primal Spells (instant damage, securing FATE credit), any AoE spells (cooldown or otherwise, just to get some AoE damage), Goblin Punch (instant attack, giving you sneaky FATE credit), Missile (see next tip)

-Missile is a Blue Mage spell that can reduce the HP of certain enemies by 50%, including SOME (some might be immune) FATE bosses. This is extremely handy and speeds up FATEs, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WAIT A SECOND! Let people do SOME DAMAGE before you rip them a new one!

-Bring healing. You never know. Healing abilities/spells, healing items, support chocobo, healing party member.

-Take note: If you have a map preference, you can just stay there and cycle between the different minions who grant you Legendary Medals there. (ie: I stayed at Western La Noscea and grinded Komasan, Komajiro, and Hovernyan back to back)

-BEST GRIND LOCATIONS:

Western La Noscea: Great teleport options, FATEs spawn RAPIDLY

Central Shroud: Crystal is in the center of the map, allows for easy teleport and travel

South Shroud: Frequent FATEs, two great teleport options

North Shroud: Same as Central Shroud

East Shroud and Middle La Noscea: Not great, but they'll be the easiest to travel for Shogunyan and USApyon

Azim Steppe: Great teleport options for Enma and Demona grinding

Dravanian Forelands: Best for Lord Anata and Zazel, cause every other HW map location is massive and a nightmare.

HAPPY GRINDING!

It's not that world... It's the first time... I've seen such a flower... out of the mud...

Who will set you free, I wonder… there was something… now…

"Such a flower" is a lotus.

Taken from this Reddit thread, which also has many explanations for all the flowers Ayami Kojima inserted in her artwork.

In short, the lotus, important to Buddhism which gets often referenced in PtR, symbolizes "spritual enlightment, detatchment, resurrection and new beginnings, purity, and remaining true to yourself"

Hector couldn't have spotted a more appropriate flower after being thrown off the castle, after rebelling against his Lord to stay true to his humanity, and shortly before starting a new life free from the cruel rule of the vampire.

I love Hector and Prelude to Revenge so much 💖

As a smaller note: the flower is referred to as anata, the same polite pronoun Isaac calls Dracula with, which I find very cute. Unless that is Hector himself. Japanese is funny like that :)

(strangely enough, 開放 written like this means "opening", like opening a door or something to the public. But it's likely the word meant to be used was 解放, which means "release, liberation". Both of them are pronounced kaihou. Unless there's a word play I don't understand)

Ascertaining that heat (Chojiro's short story)

Translator's note: This story tells about what happened after Chojiro's route in an otome game called Nightshade. It focuses on Chojiro and Enju. It was sold as a set along with a standee of Chojiro but is no longer sold now. whitedogfestival was the person that provided me with the raw of this story, along with another story focusing on Ieyasu, which I have already translated a while back.

Now enjoy!

Ascertaining that heat

“You overexert yourself again. I kept telling you this so many times already.”

While wiping off Chojiro’s sweat with a cold towel, Enju pouted. While laying under the blanket and being at a complete loss with her displeasure, Chojiro closed his eyes.

“But in that type of situation, there was no other way…”

“There was. It would have been better if we had ran together.”

“But then you would have been wet, too.”

“Only a little bit. It would have been better than you getting soaking wet, brother. Luckily, it seems that you only have a light fevel but...you haven’t fully recovered yet, after all.”

Though this turned into a minor quarrel, it immediately subsided then Enju and Chojiro’s eyes met. At the end, the person to fold first was Chojiro.

“Then, next time, I will try not to do something like this again. I will respect your wish..”

Then Enju said, “Okay. Please do it next time.”

The origin of this business was yesterday evening shower. The rain suddenly fell from the sky and both of them were unprepared and had to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

However, the rain was very strong so in order to prevent Enju from becoming wetter, Choji forcibly hugged her and ran. The result was that on the next day, Chojiro became sick and ended up being taken care of by Enju this way and that inside a room of an inn.

“Welll...is this what being husband and wife is like?”

Though something like this rarely happened, recently, whenever some differences occurred between two of them, it was more often for Chojiro to yield. There was no longer a trace of the Enju who once kept calling him brother and following his orders.

“Ye-yes. Because we are husband and wife, brother, I want you to listen to me a little bit…”

When the conversation reached that point, Chojiro had a displeased expression.

“Then how about you, too, stop calling me brother?”

“Eh…”

Because she looked like she never thought about it, Chojiro started to speak slightly teasingly.

“While we are married, calling me brother is strange, right?”

“Then, what can I call…”

“Let’s see, what can you call me?”

To her, this was a very difficult problem. Chojiro understood this but to him, this was an opportunity to speak of it.

After thinking of this for a short while, Enju sat properly next to his futon and called out his name.

“Then...Chojiro, sama.

“It feels somewhat formal.”

“...How about dear lord husband…” (Translator’s note: She actually used anata-sama. Anata is a term of endearment that Japanese woman use to call their husbands, but sama is a honorific.)

“I don’t mind it, but I still feel it is distant.”

It was as if Enju returned back to the days when she still spoke very formally. For a while, she became silent then she brought up another way of calling.

“...my dear.” (Translator’s note: she used anata which is less formal.)

“Ah...It is good.”

While lying stretched out, Chojiro seemed to be satisfied, gave his nod of approval and closed his eyes.

Now, Enju’s face became all red and she grasped tightly at the towel she was holding on.

(I did think about one day calling him like that, but to think that it will be now…)

Embarrassed because the distance between them suddenly seemed smaller, Enju earnestly casted her eyes down and thought of what to say to escape this. Noticing this, Chojiro called her name.

“Enju. I feel a little bit cold.”

“Yes. Then, now, I will bring you something warm to drink…”

“No. Come here.”

Here? Enju leaned her head to one side puzzledly so Chojiro lifted up the futon a little bit to show her. Seeing this, Enju became increasingly red. It was unexpected so for a while, she seemed quite confused.

However, Chojiro did not seem to be giving up so at last, she yielded and slipped half of her body under the blanket.

“Isn’t it cold that way? Come close.”

Then finally, under the blanket, she laid in his arms. Something like this had happened before but Enju wondered about whether before, Chojiro had been so forcible in embracing her. However, his hot breath touching her ear made it hard for her to think about such things.

“...Was I a little bit too mean?”

“Yes. Teasing me so much like this…”

Enju was staying this but stopped when she suddenly noticed how hot Chojiro’s body was.

She thought his body temperature was only a little bit too high, but now it seemed to increase greatly. Chojiro was holding her body tightly with his eyes closed and she did not attempt to move away from him.

(That is why I want him not to overexert himself… Single-mindedly continuing on travelling is not an easy thing.)

She remembered the journey thus far, and then drew up the future.

They continued on running towards the west. They spent one night in a village near the ocean, they smelled the scent of a plant that they had never seen before, they talked to people whose accents were heavy for the first time. The food that they ate for the first time were all fresh and if there was Chijiro by her side to eat with her, the food all felt delicious.

...However.

Occasionally, they got overcome by their deep sorrow regretting the light of the life that was now past. They felt worried about the coming end of themselves who had nowhere to go back to. Furthermore, what was most worrying was that Chojiro’s condition had not fully recovered yet.

Despite that, Chojiro tried to prioritize Enju and she could not stop worrying about that.

After letting out a small breath, Enju gently grabbed hold of her husband’s clothes. Then she moved closer towards his chest, and felt his heat.

“Please sleep properly...my dear.”

It seemed that Chojiro could hear these few words.

Despite not responding back, his chest simply rose up and down slowly and just like that, Enju continued nestling close to him.

[zantedeschia-praesul]

//short saniwa thing? coz i've been bingeing on old anime for some weird reason

nothing special really, just that Saseki, while he doesn't look it, uses the manly first-person "ore" (俺) instead of "boku" (僕) when he talks (tho if/when Okita talks, he would switch to "boku"), and when he refers to somebody, it's either "anta" (あんた) or "anata" (あなた). Most holy swords eg. Ishikirimaru, Taroutachi and (someone else's, not his) Kogitsunemaru, or other holy beings/those of higher status, will be refered as "-sama" (様) while the rest are the standard "-kun" (くん), even with tantou. (Even Mikazuki he calls "-kun", and for *his* Kogitsunemaru, Sase has a habit of calling him "Kogi-kun")

(Except for Nankaitarou, he calls him "Nankai sensei" too)

Does he have a voice/seiyuu claim? iunno mang but rn it's highly likely Horie Shun (Ishida Masamune & Aether seiyuu) or Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Xiao seiyuu), and personal favorite between two legends Johnny Yong Bosch (Lelouch VA) or Yuri Lowenthal (Dainsleif VA)

THO WHAT IF I OFFER KHOI DAO TO VOICE MY SANIWA I MEAN WHY NOT //OK NO

And if the current thread at the bakery is any indication, for some reason some people in Bungou no Kuni had taken to calling Saseki "Lord Harumasa" (the equivalent being "tono" - 殿), even tho he's nowhere near daimyo level. I'd like to think they think of him as a small kind of noble, maybe :0

[the-crow-binary]

Hello, in honor of Hecula being canon in French, I wanted to add something interesting :)

The fact that Hector sounds shocked when Dracula dies, as if he still cared about hir former master, is slightly confirmed by how he refers to him in canon.

In English, he calls him Lord Dracula, when talking to Trevor ("Are you not Trevor Belmont, the one who defeated Lord Dracula?"), to Zead ("You used me to revive Lord Dracula!") and to Dracula himself ("Lord Dracula… You are reborn."). Other characters do so, either out of loyalty (Isaac, Zead) or politeness (Julia, St. Germain). What is Hector's reason?

But even better is how he talks in Japanese. Hector doesn't say "Dracula-sama", like Isaac does, it's just Dracula. But when he talks to him, while he keeps a neutral register, he calls him anata. Anata is a pretty polite pronoun: for reference, women refer to men as such (women tend to be more respectful), and Isaac himself uses it for Dracula in Prelude to Revenge, so you know it's very respectful. You'd expect Hec to whip out the aggressive kisama, like for Isaac, but no :)

In short, I'm lead to believe that, even three years after his betrayal, even when standing against everything his former master did, Hector still respected him enough to be somewhat polite.

anyway. hecula canon 💖

Fate really decided to make a french person who talks english and an italian person who talks english and understands japanese meet just so the world could learn that HECULA IS CANON !!!

And that, my friend, is beautiful. <3

His Muse

Warnings: this may contains the usual yandere content like stalking, kidnapping, murders.

NSFW warnings:Anal Sex, Vaginal Sex, Trans Male Character, aphrodisiacs, multiple orgasms, rough sex.

Note: I imagine Lloyd's singing voice was similar to Ayumu's voice from Love Live Nijigasaki School Idol Club(LLNSIC).

After the usual bullying that was from Chen and his friends Lloyd was sneaking his way to the empty auditorium in the school looking over his shoulder to making sure that nobody is following him, he couldn't risk getting his secret ravealed.

As the moment he arrived at the auditorium, he used the key that was given to him by the janitor of the school who was kind enough to gave him the key, he used it to lock it.

Then he covered the securities camera with cloths just so that he wouldn't be recorded for it.

As the blonde boy arrived on the stage looked at the empty audience imagining himself in a world where he was a famous singer and wasn't the "Son of Lord Garmadon" and wasn't the Green Ninja, as he's taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth and...

Lloyd:

Back in the hallway Cole was currently searching for Lloyd throughout the school but was currently stopped by a singing voice from the auditorium, he was drawn to the beautiful voice that he peek through the door and heard Lloyd's voice, AKA the boy he fall in love with.

'Is that Lloyd?' He thought he is looking for a way to get in and saw a vent and smirk (I made an Among Us reference)

Thanks to his ninja skills he's successfully entered the vent without anyone knowing and dropped himself safely.

The black haired ninja ran and hide in one of the seats to hear the blonde boy singing.

dekiru "nakama" sa

Hateshinai michi demo ippo ippo

Akiramenakereba yume wa nigenai

Tonari ni anata ga ite kureru kara

Gyakkyou mo fuan mo norikoete ikeru yo

Arigatou

The black haired ninja was amazed at the blonde boy's singing, how did he not knowing him despite knowing the Green Ninja for 2 years now?!

Kore made zutto sasaerarete amaete kita kara

Purezento

Anata ga iru kara watashi mo kagayakeru

Arigatou

The blonde boy finished singing and taking breaths as he looked at the empty audience and smiled at himself for singing in this place even though it was empty and took a break not knowing that Cole Brookstone was there watching him in one of the seats.

The black haired ninja blushed at the blonde boy's smile 'He's so adorable up close!' He thought to himself as he saw Lloyd had just finished taking a break and decided to sing again.

'Ah shoot!' He thought to himself as he was taking out his phone as and recorded Lloyd singing..

Lloyd:

As the black haired ninja continued recording the blonde boy singing he had to make sure he didn't get caught or else he was screwed.

Beating my heart

As the blonde boy finished singing Cole finished the recording and left without him noticed, through the vent like before.

Lloyd saw the watch on his hands and realize it was time for him to go home, 'oh FSM mom is probably worried about me.' He thought to himself as he grabbed his stuff, uncovered the security cameras and unlock the door only to see Cole and Kai there.

"Cole, Kai?! What are you doing here?" He asked "Just searching for you so that I can walk you home together like we used to." Cole lied "Wanna grab some snacks Lloyd?" Kai asked "Sure." Lloyd said as he left with both Cole and Kai walking behind him with the Black Ninja looking at the Red Ninja with the "Don't Tell Him!" Kind of look on his face.

Flashback

As Cole successfully made it out of the vent, only to see Kai Smith AKA the Red Ninja.

Cole froze as he saw the Red Ninja right in front of him "Cole? What are you doing out of the vents?" He said.

Oh FSM he was screwed with him..

"Don't tell Lloyd about this okay?!" Cole said as he dropped down from the vent.

Flashback ended

Time skip

After both Lloyd and Kai went back to their homes, Cole went back to his apartment to find nobody there, as usual his dad was out with his group again. He sigh as he put away his things and started making a remix of "Dream with You." From Lloyd but making sure that nobody recognizes the voice, so he adjusted the voice to be more feminine bit still kept the slight masculinity and upload on his YouTube channel "CB" which stands for his initials Cole Brookstone.

But he questioned something, why would Lloyd hide something like this?

He doesn't know why but maybe he asked Lloyd about it, no Lloyd would freak out.

Stalking him to find out why? That's a good idea.

The next day Cole started stalking the blonde boy neither after school or defeating Garmadon, usually recording him singing but so far nothing on why?

That was until he finds out that the Green Ninja was transgender,no wonder why Lloyd's singing voice sounds like a girl.

He continues stalking the blonde boy and then he saw said boy in the bathroom beaten up.

"Lloyd!" He exclaimed in worry as he pick up the blonde boy "Are you alright?!" He asked him Lloyd nodded Cole knew that Chen and his friends are behind all this.

From now on Cole would stalking Lloyd to keep him safe no one would lay a single finger on his muse, ever.

He began planning his revenge on them like putting salt in their water bottles, cutting their pom-poms, ect(He managed to hide the evidence that he did it)

Thank god he's a Ninja if it wasn't for it then he would get caught.

But unfortunately the bullies think that Lloyd did it and started bullying him even more and that caused him to snapped.

The other SNF(Secret Ninja Force) members didn't know anything about his plans do he had to he very very careful.

Time skip

The scene reveals Chen in the alley way after school "Alright let's get this over with, what do you wanna talk about?" He asked not aware that Cole (who disguised himself in black clothing with a pumkimn on his head) was walking towards him with a knife and a hammer.

Suddenly he slammed the hammer unto the male cheerleader knocking him out on the process, then stabbing him multiple times.

As he was done, there were stabbing marks everywhere in his chests, arms, legs, and stomach.

Chen the cheerleader was dead, the Black Ninja smiled a bit crazily at the dead body.

Time skip

By the time he was finished, he successfully making Chen's murder looked like an actual crime scene.

"Thank god I got rid of him, if he we're still alive then he would continue harrasing my muse." He said as he cleaned up the black clothes and was currently wearing his homewear until.

"On Neo Ninjago City News, a student was found dead in the ally way in Golden Day Street. The student was Chen the cheerleader and student of Ninjago High School." Said the male news reporter. "If anyone saw anything suspicious, please reported to the police force right away." Said the female news reporter.

But Cole didn't care about the news as he was responsible for the Cheerleader's death, he hoped that tomorrow the cheerleader team disbanded and nobody would pick on Lloyd again.

Fortunately he was right, the cheerleader team have disbanded but there were still other students who bullied him, so Cole needed to came up with a new plan to get rid of them.

Other students thought that Lord Garmadon has something to do with Chen's murder, but the man who killed the male cheerleader didn't wore any fish themed clothes, so he was out of the picture. They also called the killer "The Black Pumkimn" due to his Black clothes and a pumkimn on his head

The blonde boy was Horrorfied that Chen had died, even though he did wanted the male cheerleader to leave him alone, he didn't wanted him to die.

He started to noticed that his bullies died the next day and he was confused who killed them? He knew his father may caused chaos, so he decided to contact his mom at the moment.

"Mom?"

"Lloyd! I saw the news! Are you alright?!"

"Yes, I'm fine mom, I'm going to ask something, did dad murder people?"

"....."

"Mom?"

"Lloyd, your father wasn't the type to murder people, sure that he did caused chaos and haolvoc bit he didn't murder anyone."

"Oh, sorry for asking you that."

"Its okay Lloyd, call you later bye."

"Bye mom."

As soon as the phone call ended he sigh, little did he know that Cole was watching him this whole time.

As for the murder cases? Well the fact they were rising so rapidly everyday that it scares everyone even Lord Garmadon.

Lloyd began to worry about his mom, uncle and the others what if the Black Pumkimn killed them? What if something terrible has happened to them and he wasn't aware of it? What if they died and he couldn't do anything about it? What if-

All of a sudden a hand covered his mouth, Lloyd was startled and tried to fight back but the hand was stronger than him that he passed out and the person caught him in their arms.

The person examined Lloyd. The blonde boy somehow looks radiant to the the person, with the grassy green eyes that shine like emeralds, angelic blonde hair that seems to be an angel halo around his head but he noticed that the blonde boy was on the feminine side of things like having a thin body with less muscle that somehow looks fragile.

"Looks like your mine now, my muse."

Time skip

Lloyd woke up in a some sort of a bedroom with music posters on the wall, a DJ set and set of books on the wall, the walls are black.

The blonde boy looked around and realize that he was tied up with ropes and his mouth was taped

'W-wait, why am I tied up?! How did I get here?!'

All of a sudden a door opened and he saw Cole with a tray of food in his hands .

'Cole?!' Lloyd thought to himself in shock, realizing that one of his close friends have kidnapped him, but why?

The black haired boy saw that Lloyd was awake "Ah Lloyd, your awake." He said with a calm smile on his face as he put down the tray on the bedside table, and looked at the blonde boy "How are you feeling?" He said Lloyd muffled through the tape and the black haired boy realized that he taped Lloyd's mouth "Oh, I forgot about this one, sorry." He said with a soft voice that he takes off th tape causing the blonde boy to take a deep breath and looked him "How I was feeling? How I was feeling?! I was taped and tied up in your bed and you're asking how. I was feeling?!" Lloyd said with an angry look on his face.

Then he calmed down and took a deep breath "I just wanted to ask you, why did you kidnapped me?" He asked giving the Black Ninja a stern look on his face.

The Black Ninja sigh and handed the soup to Lloyd who was surprised "You hadn't eaten anything back at the cafeteria, so I made this soup for you to enjoy." Cole said "Thanks but... How am I gonna eat it if I was tied up?" Lloyd said, mentioning the rope he was tied in.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna feed you." The Black Ninja said with a soft smile on his face, little did Lloyd know that Cole have devious intentions for him. "Say ah!" Cole said with a smile on his face as he move the spoon near Lloyd's mouth, the blonde boy opened his mouth and he was pretty annoyed that Cole was feeding him like he was a child, he's not a child anymore!

As Cole finished feeding Lloyd the soup, he smirked a little as he put a little something unto the soup.

"Stay here Lloyd, I'll be right back." Cole said as he left the room with the now empty bowl, leaving Lloyd alone.

The blonde boy watches as the Black haired boy left the bedroom door, even he wasn't tied up anymore he was still chained.

All of a sudden he felt pretty hot even though the Air Conditioner(AC) was on, he still felt hot, he thought about tied up his hair, but realized that his hair reached his shoulders so nope.

He felt like his pussy was wet in his pants and realize something.. Cole drugged him with aphrodisiac. Well too much aphrodisiac.

The blonde boy slowly unbuckled his belt and - suddenly Cole enters the room, he yeled and tried to buckled his belt again but the black haired boy climed on the bed and stopped him "It's okay, this will do it for you." He said gently as he showed the blonde boy the vibrator.

The blonde boy yelled out an "Eep!" As Cole fully unbuckled his belt, and Cole smirked as he saw Lloyd's slightly needy red face...

His hand slowly entered thee blonde boy's pants and felt Lloyd's pussy and was met with a silky fabric trimmed with lace.(by expressionandrhyme)

“Girly underwear too? My, you’re really into this, Lloyd.” Cole laughed as he cupped his member. (By expressionandrhyme)

He groaned and began to throb at his touch as he begged for more. “Ugh. Yes, please. Just stop teasing. Touch me. Please.”(by expressionandrhyme)

The Black Ninja was surprised that Lloyd went from being hesitant and annoyed to whiny and needy, as he takes off Lloyd's pants to reveal the silky white fabric with flower pattern and trimmed with pink lace.

Suddenly the black haired boy turned on the vibrator to its maximum speed and put it inside of the blonde boy's clit through the underwear making said boy moaned loudly as the vibrator, pushed deep inside Lloyd, brushing against his g-spot with every slight movement, sent wave after wave of intense pleasure throughout his tiny body, legs trembling wildly as he bucked his hips into the air to get any friction he could.(og)

"Ack! Ahh!~ aahh~" Lloyd moaned as he tried to calm down but couldn't as the pleasure is too intense that he came quickly with his thigh shook violently.

Cole watches Lloyd moaned loudly from the sex toy as he watches the boy's hips movement from said toy, making him want him more as his own cock twitches.

"T-too—aha—much~ AH!~" Lloyd moaned out"C-cole f-fuck me! Fuck me please! J-just fuck me senselessly please!~" Lloyd yelled out as he reached his first orgasm, he collapsed on the bed, the toy slowed down before coming to a complete stop.

"C-cole f-fuck me! Fuck me please! J-just fuck me senselessly please!~"

What he said just snapped Cole immediately as he turned Lloyd around and the blonde boy found himself on his bed, pressed into the bed, with the Black Ninja on top of him, grinding his hard dick against Lloyd's vagina.

"Is this what you wanted, sweetheart?" Cole said

The blonde boy moans. He needed to be pounded so hard.

"Fuck… look at how needy for cock you are, Lloyd~"

Lloyd moans his agreement, pressing back into the other's grinding.

"You look so good like this… grinding back against me… begging me to fuck you~"

"Yes, please. Fuck me, Cole!"

The black Ninja tugged down Lloyd girly underwear giving him more access as he entered his cock into Lloyd who was a panting mess.

Suddenly he thrusts his cock roughly unto Lloyd who was now a silent moaning mess as Cole kissed him hungerly as he is taken off Lloyd's green jacket and taken off his white shirt, leaving him naked.

The Black Ninja's hand started rubbing the blonde boy's nipples causing him to moan for the black boy's touch even more and letting him go from the kiss.

"M-more!~! " Lloyd moaned loudly"Ahh! Ah! Mgh! Ah! Ah!" He moaned loudly as Cole continues to slammed his cock roughly unto him brushing against his g-spot causing Lloyd to moaned even louder, Cole smirked as he thrusts his whole cock into the g-spot "I-I'm gonna cum! Make me cum Cole!" Lloyd yelled out, Cole grunted as he thrusts his hard dick against Lloyd's g-spot and biting his neck "Ahh! Cole!" Lloyd yelled out as he came, having his orgasms at the 2nd time.

Even after having his orgasm, Cole wouldn't stop thrusting to him, causing Lloyd to screamed loudly in pleasure.

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

Lloyd woke up in the middle of the night in Cole's house, at first he was confused at where he was until he remembered something

"C-cole f-fuck me! Fuck me please! J-just fuck me senselessly please!~"

"Yes, please. Fuck me, Cole!"

"M-more!~! "

"Ahh! Ah! Mgh! Ah! Ah!"

"I-I'm gonna cum! Make me cum Cole!"

"Ahh! Cole!"

"I needed more of your cock Cole! Please I need- Ahh!~"

"Ack! Ahh! Ah! Ah! Aha! Aha! Ahh!~"

He was shocked as he remembered the words in his head and as he pulling of the blanket over him and saw his pussy, it was wet, poffy and red.

"Having fun, my muse?" Cole asked as he was awake, scaring off Lloyd "Hey, hey it's okay." He reassured him.

"Why?“ Lloyd asked, confusing the black haired boy "Why did you, do that to me?" He asked as he looked at Cole, fear filling his eyes, Cole doesn't say anything but he embraced the blonde boy "Because I love you Lloyd." He whisper to Lloyd's ear "It's just that I can't even handle how Chen and his friends are bullying you, so I killed them, in cold blood." He said..

Lloyd pulling the pieces together and realized something Cole is the Black Pumkimn.

"Y-you're the-" Lloyd said before Cole kissing him on the cheek silencing him "Shh, yes I am but you're not telling anyone about it." Cole said as his arms we're still wrapped around Lloyd's waist "You're mine now Lloyd, you're mine forever my Muse."
