Screaming and crying can be heard for miles as the sky turns red from ash and smoke. People trip and drop their valuables as they flee their homes before they’re burnt to the ground and crumbled into ruins. Just outside the city, the forest and farmlands turn to dust as dragon fire tears through it all.

This isn’t right. They aren’t like this. Some are kind but solitary. Some only leave their caves or abandoned castles for additions to their hoards. Some even work alongside humans, helping them and nurturing little villages, wanting nothing more than success for their little human friends. They got along with humans well enough but now it’s all wrong.

Something is spreading, tearing the minds of dragons apart and leaving them as primal bloodthirsty beasts. It doesn’t matter what branch of the species. Drakes, Wyrms, Amphitheres, Wyverns, no matter the size or age, it ends the same. Once they’re infected it’s only a matter of time. It could be hours, days or even months, you don’t even know, eventually what makes them who they are is torn away and a monster is left in their place. They can’t help but kill whatever or whoever is in their path.

The ground quakes as the city starts to crumble around you, chunks of rubble falling and crashing throughout the streets as you try desperately to get people out. The cobblestone cracks beneath your feet, making the paths ahead uneven and dangerous, one wrong move and you could fall on your face.

“Head towards the river!” You shout, freeing more humans trapped in their homes by the melting stone of the building. Overhead a massive dragon passes, tearing up the tile roofs underneath them with their flaming breath, swiping their claws at any protrusion they missed.

You roll your eyes as you notice a rather portly balding man dragging a large sack, gold and jewels spilling out onto the pavement from the poorly closed opening as he prioritises wealth over his own stupid life. Growling at him, you snatch the bag from his greedy ash covered hands, throwing it into a pile of burning thatch with ease. “Get to the fucking river” you sneer at the greedy man as he tries to gather what you’d thrown from the fire. For a moment you think he’s gonna to fight you, his glaring eyes locking onto you when he realises there’s nothing he can do to retrieve what you threw.

“Fucking bitch” he curses before running off to join the crowds running to the river.

Part of you thinks that humanity deserves this. Nature just taking control and eradicating the pests that tear her apart. If it wasn’t taking the minds of your friends and family, you’d probably even support it.

“Help!” A little voice cries somewhere above you and you step back, your sharp eyes darting around the taller buildings. High up, hanging from the ledge of the bell tower, a little girl cries. Her hands slip bit by bit as the base of the tower starts to crack. “Please help!!” She screams, her little legs flailing to try and find purchase.

Breaking into a sprint, you race toward the tower, your human legs so much slower than your normal method of travel. You leap up the wall, grabbing ledges and dislodged stones to pull yourself up to the little girl barely holding on. The satchel at your side flails wildly as you practically throw yourself up the building, covering the distance within seconds.

Just as her fingers slip, you reach her, wrapping your arm around her waist to stop her decent toward the rupturing ground. “It’s ok, I’ve got you” you whisper as she buries her face in your neck refusing to look at the distance to the street, her arms holding onto you for dear life. “I need you to hold on, ok?” You whisper and she holds on tighter, nodding as her tears stain the shoulder of your shirt. “Shit” you curse at the sight of a Wyvern heading straight for you, her mouth opening as she prepares to burn the tower to the ground.

Without a second thought you release your grip on the stones, plummeting toward the cobble stone below. The little girl screams as scorching hot flames burst above your head tearing through the top of the bell tower and toppling it. though you’re not sure if she’s screaming cause of that or the fact that you’re both falling nearly fifty feet to the street below.  

Taking the brunt of the fall, you protect the girl’s head as you roll onto the ground. Forcing yourself up and back on your feet, you stumble through the streets toward the river as the buildings fall around you and the path warps beneath your shoes.

The way ahead is blocked as more debris falls onto the path, so you turn onto the next street, hoping desperately for a way around, only to come face to face with a massive Drake using their claws to tear down a wall to get to a human who’s screaming for the lords help on the other side.

Sniffing in the air, the wingless dragon pauses, and you realise too late that the little girl in your arms is bleeding. Her little palms and shins scraped from trying to keep herself from falling from the building. You hadn’t even noticed it with the smell of blood currently covering so much of the city’s cobblestone.

The Drake snarls as their eyes lock onto you, their massive claws digging into the stone as if it were clay. You prepare yourself to use your magic, to shift back into your true from to defend against the imminent attack, when a horn blares in the distance.

Immediately everything seems to fall silent as the deep ominous tone echoes between the destroyed buildings. The Drake before you races down the street without another thought to you, running in the direction of the horn. the sound of wings overhead slowly fades as they too follow the sound calling to them.

The haunting cries of loss and devastation wail like a bean sídhe. Around you people call for their loved ones, heartrending screams following as they find their loved ones crushed or scorched in the remains of their city.

You’re barely registering any of it though as you stare to the east where the dragons collectively went, following the sound of the horn as if a crew of pirates to siren song. Everything is so wrong.

In your arms the little girl writhes as she tries to free herself from your hold. You snap out of your trance, placing the girl on the ground to watch her run, calling to her mother as she passes through the devastation, flakes of ash catching in her hair as she goes. As soon as you wonder if you should follow, a woman scoops her up, holding onto her for dear life as they cry.

“Oh, my baby. I’m so glad you’re okay” you hear the woman sob out, even from how far you are.

“That woman saved me mama” the little girl says, pointing at you amidst the rubble.

‘Thank you’ the woman mouths out before taking her child to safety, smiling through her tear-stained cheeks trailing through the soot on her skin.

I need to figure out what’s happening. You think as you look back to the east. There was at least half a dozen different dragons tearing the city apart and they just… stopped, following that horn without hesitation. You thought the disease spreading through your brothers and sisters was turning them into mere beasts but clearly there’s something more to this cursed sickness. Something sinister.

To spare the humans more fear you race down the streets and outside the city walls into a scorched vineyard, still smouldering. Heated fruits squish under your boot as you make your way through the destroyed lines of grape vines, and their sweet smells swirl to meet your nose.

You pull off your clothes, stuffing each piece into the satchel as you set it on the ash covered ground. Finally, once the last piece of your clothing is packed away in your bag, you take a deep breath through your mouth.

As you exhale slowly black smoke billows from your nostrils, forming a small whirlwind around your body. The thick dark cloud grows as cyan magic sparks from within it, shifting you from your human form into a massive wyvern with a nearly thirty-foot wingspan.

You stretch your wings out as your tail swings, each movement stirring up the ash that’s settled on the ground.

It’s been a while since you turned yourself into a human, probably the longest you’ve ever been in that form. Because of that your natural body aches as if you’d been sleeping on a pile of stones for a century.

Using the talons on your foot, you delicately grab your satchel, holding it tight as you take off.

You hear the horn sound once more, with more dragons making their way toward it. Keeping your distance you follow them east, wondering how far they’re going and why.

—————

You’ve been flying for nearly a week, far enough behind the other dragons to not be spotted. You have a feeling getting to this point would have taken less time if the dragons ahead of you didn’t leave destruction in their wake.

You stopped at ten different villages and two cities, shifting back into a human to help those in need as their homes burnt around them. Eventually it got to the point that you couldn’t understand the language people were speaking, having to cast a new translation spell just so you could understand them.

You hate seeing the humans dealing with such devastation, and though you’ve been trying so hard to help, you can’t undo what’s happening to them. As much as you’ve learnt from the grimoire you keep in your satchel, you know that even if you could bring back the dead, you shouldn’t. You just hope that you’ll find a cure for the dragons wherever they’re heading, and the humans will understand it isn’t the dragon’s faults. You hope the reputation of your species isn’t tarnished permanently.

You’d lost the hoard of dragons about two hours ago, too busy tying to help the people of the island city in the middle of the river after the hoard had torn up the place with their flames.

You’re glancing left and right, your wings a steady beat as you fly southeast over the river toward a large stone arch. You swear you spotted a familiar wyvern heading this way… The black with green gradient caught your eyes moments after you’d left the city that the people called Fang. You haven’t seen your brother in years, but you’d recognise him anywhere.

You’re not sure how you’d lost sight of him, he was right ahead of you, flying effortlessly toward the stone arch alone. You’d glanced away for only a second, casting your eyes toward the horn sounding out once more, but when you looked back he was gone.

You pause above the river, looking around to catch any sight of his green and black wings around the arch and forest. Your own wings beat powerfully, holding you in place high above the water.

Without warning fangs sink into the shoulder of your right wing, a massive weight crashing into you from above. You try to get him off as his weight sends you plummeting towards the river below. You snap and snarl at him, desperate to get his claws out of your back and his sharp fangs from your shoulder.

Cursing internally, you cast the magic to shift back into a human, slipping from your brother’s violent grasp. You barely get a hold of your satchel before you crash into the water below.

Raya’s POV

The brush in her hand passes gently over the paper, her words filling out the letter to the leader of tail. It’s the final part of her assigned duties of the day before she can finally go meet Sisu and her friends to enjoy her birthday.

Six years have passed since the Druun were defeated, and everyone was freed from their statuesque prisons. Everyone who lives on the dragon shaped river system have come together, finally uniting after years of conflict and mistrust. She knows she was the same, anger and hatred filling her as she searched for Sisu down every river. She had to grow up alone and fast, how could she possibly turn out any other way.

It was hard for everyone, adjusting back into the world with people who’d been stone for years. She cried far too many times with her father, mourning the years they never had together. With all those years lost she worries, even now, that her father will never truly know her. She’s done her best though, to act like everything is fine, like the years alone aren’t a permanent scar on her soul.

As she signs off the letter she grins, hurriedly cleaning her brush of ink and propping it up to dry safely so she can race down and meet her friends at the bridge.

“Raya, have you finished your duties?” Her ba asks when he spots her passing the kitchen doorway, an eyebrow raised in her direction.  He’s been preparing her to be leader of heart, continuing the training he’d started so many years ago. He’s been steadily giving her more duties, allowing her to learn to balance them and her life.

She pauses just the other side of the doorway, stepping backward to peek back at him. “Yes ba. All the letters to leaders from Head to Tail are written and drying.” She starts, walking in to stand by her father while he helps craft lunch. “I’ve listed out possible solutions to farmer’s requests for better access to the river water and made sure the imports and exports are flowing smoothly.”

“You’ve taken to leadership quite well these past years.” Her father smiles, his pride for her practically radiating from him, but also the familiar sadness. “I am proud of the woman you’ve become. Now go, enjoy your birthday, but make sure you’re back for lunch.”

“Yes ba, thank you” she bows to him, showing her father the respect he deserves.

————

Her people greet her and give birthday wishes as she makes her way down through the market to the bridge that connects Heart to the mainland. Conversation and laughter fill the air as men and women trade in the market and little kids stand by their parents, rolling their eyes as their conversation goes for way too long.

She smiles as she spots Namaari and Sisu, excited to see her friends after months of focusing on her duties to Her home and people. The others haven’t arrived yet but she’s sure they aren’t far behind, a couple of them have to be brought by their parents after all.

“Hey!” She smiles, hugging Sisu then Namaari, the dragon almost crushing her in excitement.

“Happy birthday Raya!” Sisu says with a sharp toothed smile, her excitable personality shining through, especially strong on birthdays. 

“Happy birthday.” Namaari follows, her smile far more placid.

“The others won’t be here for about another hour, maybe we can….” Sisu starts, pausing at a weird noise echoing through the air.

High above the river, a reptile like creature pauses, it’s giant bat like wings steadily beating as it scans the area for something. 

From the tips of its wings a deep purple spreads like lighting into the black of its body. The scales down its stomach are light blue, maybe cyan, standing out against the blacks and purples of the rest of it. Like a bats wings, its giant ones are like skin stretched between long fingers, with massive claws at the joint. Its back legs hang down with its long tail. One of its taloned feet seems to be clenched shut, while the other flexes.

 A dark dot appears high above it, steadily growing as it seems to plummet straight for the creature above the river. 

In a blink another creature like the first but with green crashes into it, sinking its teeth into the wing of the purple one and digging claws into its back. The purple one snaps and snarls as the two plummet toward the river, its neck not long enough to reach around to bite the other. Raya and her friends watch in mute horror as the beasts fall, not even sure what they are.

A dark cloud of smoke swirls around the creatures and one seems to just vanish within it.

“Shit, shit, shit!” They hear a woman shout, her nude body suddenly falling from the dispersing smoke, desperately clasping at a bag falling with her. Her body crashes into the rushing water below, and Sisu dives into the water after her.

Raya and Namaari race down to the riverbank, helping Sisu as she drags the coughing woman back onto land. Above the other creature watches the events happening below it, then simply flies away as if it means nothing now.

“You shouldn’t… have… done that.” The nude woman coughs as she pulls herself onto her knees, staring at the dragon who saved her. The wounds she should have from the attack shrink into tiny scars as she gasps for breath, trying to rid her lungs of the water she most likely breathed in.

“Would you rather she let you drown?” Raya asks, her cheeks warming as she tries to avoid looking at the naked woman before her.

“No, and I… am grateful, but…” she sighs, hugging her soaked satchel to her chest and looking back at Sisu. “You may have just doomed yourself…”

“What do you mean?” Namaari asks, taking her words as a threat toward Sisu, placing her hand on the sword at her hip.

“You’re a type of dragon, right?” She asks Sisu, ignoring the humans present, and the dragon nods. “So am I. And there is a terrible disease coursing through our species.”

Raya’s concern about the nudity before her vanishes, the warmth on her cheeks fading as fear for her friend and the rest of the dragons takes hold.

“What do you mean?” her eyes locking on the beautiful nude woman before her. 

“Look, I don’t really have time to explain things here, I’m on borrowed time as it is.” The woman coughs, pushing herself to her feet. The woman’s legs wobble and Raya reacts, reaching for the woman before she collapses.

“You just breathed in a bunch of water, at least catch your breath.” Raya can see the argument in her eyes as she holds her up way too close.

“fine” the woman sighs, pulling away. Raya’s skin tingles where the woman had touched, so warm and soft despite being soaking wet. Her cheeks heat once more as she realises, she was holding onto a very beautiful, very naked woman. She glances to her friends, hoping they hadn’t noticed but they very much had, both of them smirking at her. or at least she thinks Sisu is smirking… “shit” the woman curses, staring dejectedly into her satchel.

“What?”

“My clothes are soaked.”

[Y/N] POV

Six months ago, the first dragon fell victim to a terrible sickness that now runs rampant through the species. A growing Drake, still in his birth cave with his siblings and mother, started acting different. He became snappy, angry, lashing out at even the littlest things. His mother chalked it up to him being a growing young dragon, that he’d soon leave the nest and find his way in the world and all the attitude would mellow out.

One day he just… snapped. He tore apart two of his sisters and there was nothing his mother could do to stop him; she couldn’t bring herself to hurt him. He began to run rampant, burning down the villages nearby and eating any human or farm animal he found until the humans finally put him down.

Eventually the rest of his family started showing symptoms too, and so did others that came into contact with them and him. It was spreading so fast, and there was no way to know who was infected until it was too late.

In moments of lucidity, as the disease seemed to tear into them, some explained they could hear whispers and screams as their minds started to go. Some shook their heads, and clawed at their skulls, trying to get the disease out as if they could feel it writhing within them.

Three months into the spread of the illness the first of your family begun to show symptoms. The irritation over nothing, jumping at sounds that don’t exist, attacking shadows, and eventually the total loss of their higher thinking.

You’d watched in horror from a distance as one by one, your own family joined the hoard of rampaging beasts that used to be highly intelligent dragons.

You studied the grimoire you were gifted when you were a hatchling until your eyes hurt, trying desperately to find a cure using the magics inside. But what could you do? You were one wyvern, barely considered grown to some despite being twenty-five in human years. 

The only other dragon even capable of helping eventually went mad too, succumbing to the sickness and killing the few humans that had offered their aid.

All you could do was follow along, help who you could and search for a cure along the way. You’d done your best to keep your distance, but you know it’s only a matter of time. You’d come in contact with too many that had turned for you not to be infected too.

Every step forward you thought you had taken wound up being two steps back. You searched libraries, consulted with witches and thieves for just a tiny piece to this ever-growing puzzle. Nothing seemed to be enough. And you’re starting to lose hope it ever will be.

———————

You wait in silence for their responses, sitting on the stone windowsill of Raya’s room. She’d handed you some clothes after sneaking you in, and you’d told the horrible story of the past six months as you pulled on the simple brown pants and yellow sleeveless shirt. Not exactly a colour you’d usually wear but you don’t have a choice until your clothes are dry.

“How many other infected dragons are gonna be heading this way?” Raya asks, breaking the fearful silence.

“I was following a group of about fifty, but if all the infected are heading this way, then hundreds could show up.” You sigh, watching as Raya starts pacing the room in front of you. “The ones I was following dispersed after attacking a city northwest of here on the river, Fang I think they called themselves?”

“Wait, Fang was attacked?” Namaari practically shouts, leaping up from where she was sitting. “I need to go home and help my people.” She says, grabbing her satchel and quickly hugging Sisu and Raya.

“Of course, be safe.” Raya smiles. “Find the others and tell them to head back and warn their people too.”

“Sisu, you should warn your family and any others. They need to know to stay away from any dragons coming from the west.” You pipe up before Namaari leaves.

“Of course, yes!” The dragon in human form says, fidgeting as she rises from her cross-legged pose on the bed. “I’ll give you a ride, Namaari.”

You move forward before the dragon has a chance to leave, grabbing her arm to stop her. “Keep your distance when you do…” you tell her sadly “you don’t want to be the reason they get infected…”

She looks like she’s about to cry as she nods, making her way out with Namaari. It makes you sick to think that you could be the reason that she’ll become like the other dragons, that her saving your life could be what seals her fate.

From the half hour you’ve known her you can already tell she’s incredibly trusting and caring, you’d never want to see someone like that be torn away.

“I’m sorry” you tell Raya once it’s just the two of you left in her room.

“for what?”

“I could be the reason your friend loses herself, that you lose her…” you breathe, sitting down heavily onto her bed. “That was my brother that attacked me above the river… part of me was hoping… some of him was still in there. That he’d lead me the right direction and help me save him.” You tell her, running your fingers into your hair, feeling the pull against each strand. “But I was wrong… he’d realised I was following and lured me in to attack me.”

“I don’t blame you.” She says, taking a seat arm’s length from you. “Even if Sisu knew, she probably still would have saved you from the river. She’s like that” She smiles, her dark brown eyes showing great fondness for the dragon. “I’m sorry you had to go through that”.

The moment of emotion disappears quickly from her eyes as the worry for her friends and the other people of the region sobers her emotional thoughts.

“What was your plan?” she questions, shifting to face you better.

“I didn’t really have one… I was just following, and I guess hoping I’d just find the way to help them.” You admit, staring at your bare feet as you flex your toes.

“Well, you said the group you were following dispersed when they reached this river, maybe…”

“Raya, are you in here?” a man called freezing at the sight of a stranger in Raya’s room. “Oh, who’s this?”

“Ba, this is….” Raya starts, pausing awkwardly, realising they hadn’t asked your name when they told you theirs.

“[Y/N]. My name is [Y/N]” you bow, the same way you’ve seen a nobleman bow to a king. They both look at you oddly but say nothing, you assume it’s because woman usually curtsy?  

“An honour to meet you.” He bows his head before turning to his daughter. “Raya, I just saw Sisu and Namaari leave, is something wrong? The celebration lunch is almost ready.”

“Celebration?”

“oh, It’s my birthday.” Raya says almost dismissively. “How about we sit down and have lunch while I fill you in. Ok ba?” She practically drags the man, her father, from her room, gesturing for you to follow.

Unsure, you glance out the window. You really should continue trying to find where the hoard of rabid dragons went. You’re not sure if this detour is in your best interest, your time feeling far too limited. Yet you find yourself following Raya nonetheless. It sounded like she might have an idea and it might be better than the nothing you’re working with…  

-----

You’re fidgeting, your leg bouncing as you stare out the window carved from the stone. You didn’t have time to explain it the first time but now you’re waiting for Raya to explain it all again to her father. He’d placed a bowl of some kind of soup before you, Raya and himself, then settled down as if there wasn’t a massive war breaking out so close to his home. You’ve barely touched it despite your hunger and the delicious spicy taste. All you can focus on is saving your family, your species.

Your mind goes back to your brother as the two humans talk. He’d attacked you, no hesitation or recognition. You hadn’t seen him since long before everything started happening. He left the cave when he turned twenty, you were only fifteen, still a baby in your mother’s eyes. He visited a few times after, but once you too left the nest you hadn’t seen him again.                                                        To see him like that… it fucking hurt both emotionally and literally.

What are you supposed to do?

“I want to help her” you hear Raya say over your thoughts and your eyes shift to her brown ones that seem to be seeking your approval.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea… it didn’t end well for the last humans that tried to help.” You don’t want a repeat of that, and you definitely don’t want to be the one that causes it. just being here is already a risk.

“You said there was a horn that called the dragons this way, right?” she recounts, making sure she remembers what you had said.

“Yes…” you hesitate, wondering where she’s going with this. It’s been a constant, for a while the dragons attack places then the horn blares and all carnage stops. The raging dragons simply follow the sound as if all else vanishes.

“So, maybe we can find the source of that?”

“I’ve been trying find the source. But I’m not taking you. I’m not risking any more human lives.” You tell her, glancing at her father as you rise from your seat. “Not only am I at risk of getting attacked, but I could also be infected. I don’t want to be the cause of another death.”

“Do you have any of the symptoms?” her father askes and you shake your head no. “how long after symptoms show do they fully succumb to this illness?”

“Anywhere between a few days and a month.” you sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose in an attempt to remember certain details. “My friend theorised that it’s based on age or size… the smaller and younger ones snapped fastest I think.”

“You think?” Raya questions, the air of unimpressed at your uncertainty.

“He wrote it down, but his notes were lost when he died.” You tell her, rolling your eyes as you look out of the window overlooking to river, your palms leaning on the near smooth stone frame.

“How did he die?” you can hear the frown in her voice so you’re pretty sure she guessed the answer already.

“Burnt to death by one of the dragons he was observing. It doesn’t matter.” Dismissing the line of thought as you turn to face her once more. “What does matter is that I don’t remember his notes and I’m not willing to risk someone’s life if I’m wrong.” 

“I think you should stay out of it, Raya, we will seek shelter if needed, rebuild even, but we don’t know enough of these western dragons to help.” Her father states, a sense of finality to his words. but instead of backing down, the young woman glares at him.

“Ba, I spent six years alone, I can make my own decisions.” You notice the way the man seems to flinch at her sharp words, though you don’t understand the full meaning behind them, you can clearly see it upset them both. “She could be the only one trying to find a cure at this point, if she succumbs to it then there will be no one, she needs help!” She left her seat as she spoke, grabbing your wrist and pulling you closer to drive her point home.  “we can’t let this happen to the dragons.”

“Raya” her father warns, glaring at her as he too stands, the soups on the table forgotten.

“You told me a leader always does what’s right. I did what was right when the Druun took over and I will do it again now.”

You watch her as she speaks, her determination and passion clear as day. It’s probably her love for Sisu driving her to care so much about this dangerous plague. Maybe her love for her people making her want to stop the carnage before it comes to her door.

“You’re not gonna take no for an answer, are you?” you ask her, her dark brown eyes meeting yours with a smirk on her lips. There’s a fire in her eyes and you swear it rivals that of a dragon’s mighty breath, it makes your heart beat just a little louder at the sight of it. She’s determined and strong willed, clearly no matter what you or her father says she will help.

“no” she says, finally releasing the firm grip she had on your arm. “I’m gonna help, ba. You should make sure our people are ready for if… when the dragons come this way.”

She seems so sure of herself, though you’re not sure if that’s a good thing. You have missed having help… maybe she really can spot something that you can’t… I’m gonna regret this you think to yourself, listening to her ideas as you follow her back to her room.

You just hope you’ll be able to get her out of the way if something bad happens, cause she’s clearly coming with you.

A/N; had this little idea for a while, finally finished the first chapter!! Remember! Like and reblog to share the love!!!

A — Aftercare

what are they like after sex?

She’s extremely cuddly and affectionate after sex, wanting nothing more than burning her face in your chest and wrapping herself around you like a koala. Though if she has the energy to change back to her normal form, she does the romantic thing (by draconic standards) and curls around you and starts making a sort of purring sound that relaxes you and sends you to sleep. It’s something that her kind would do with their mates and whilst she’s a bit clumsy about it, her intentions are still clear and you appreciate it nonetheless.

B — Body Part

their favourite body part of their partner and themselves.

Whilst not a typical choice, Sisu has become more fond of her stomach over time. She loves being close to you and is extremely cuddly, so having a part of her that’s soft and makes a good pillow for you to rest your head on when you’re being cute and domestic is a blessing for her.

Though when it comes to you, it’s an easy decision. She’d have to choose…

(Fem!Reader) your thighs! Softness or size don’t matter to her as she isn’t bothered about the aesthetics of your body, she just enjoys having them over her shoulders or under her head. They’re her favourite pillow and her favourite headwear and you can frequently find her just randomly groping and massaging your thighs due to this peculiar fascination that she has with them. Though as a warning, wearing thigh highs might send her to an early grave so accessorise with caution.

(Masc!Reader) your chest! Strong or soft or large or flat, she has no preference and will be using it as a place to rest her head after sex or when you’re just randomly cuddling. She’s also been known to just bury her face into your chest and stay there basking in your body heat when she’s particularly stressed because she enjoys the intimacy that comes from being there.

(NB!Reader) your hands! No matter the size or the feel of them, she just loves having your hands on her body. Whether it’s the feeling of your palms rubbing against her nipples when you’re groping her chest, or the crooking of your digits inside of her pussy, she’s come to appreciate just how much your hands can do. In fact she often catches herself staring at them and fantasising about where exactly she wants you to put them next — with this particular wet dream or horny thought of hers coming to the forefront of her mind when she’s in heat.

(Trans Masc!Reader) your chest! Her partialism only starts to make itself known after you’ve gotten top surgery as you notice her becoming seemingly enamoured by the scars and the changes to your chest. Of course she still enjoys resting her head on your chest and is grateful that she can now do so without causing you any discomfort, but she also comments on how much more confident and comfortable you’ve become after your surgery. She finds that new confidence attractive and it’s why she’s become especially fond of your chest in recent years.

(Trans Fem!Reader) your thighs! Of course she’s careful where exactly she’s resting or touching if you’ve expressed any discomfort about that area of yourself, but she’s still very blatant about her partialism for your thighs. If they’re soft then they’re the ultimate pillows and stress balls, if they’re muscular then they’re her ultimate seat to ride on, if they’re slender then she’ll often allow her hands to wander there to grope and stroke them. No matter what type of thighs you have, she adores them and gets very aroused whenever you wear a dress/skirt or shorts that show them off.

C — Cum

anything to do with cum.

She’s much more likely to squirt than anything else because of just how sensitive she is. Sisu also finds it very attractive when your mouth and chin are soaked with her juices — flushing and offering to fetch you a rag to clean you up, making a joke of the sight to hide her blatant arousal.

D — Dirty Secret

what is their dirty secret?

She does very quietly have something of a size kink and when not in her human form does quite enjoy showing off just how much larger than you she is. She’ll strut around and straighten her back and wrap herself around you, all of which are displays that her kind used to attract partners as being a larger individual often meant you were a better provider and protector — thus making you much more attractive. Subconsciously she’s hoping to be able to turn you on or otherwise attract you with this behaviour.

E — Experience

how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?

Before you she probably only had a handful of casual flings — pairings meant to satisfy her instincts and nothing more. So she knows enough to be sure of what role she enjoys playing in bed, but she is by no means an expert at pleasuring someone. Thankfully, though, she’s a very eager learner and happy to take the time to get to know what you do and don’t enjoy in bed.

F — Favourite Position

what is their favourite position?

Normally she appreciates any position where you’re facing each other (think along the lines of missionary or cowgirl), but there are times where she just wants to be stuffed and bred. During the latter time she prefers one of two positions: concubine or mating press.

G — Goofy

how serious are they in the moment?

She does everything she can to keep the mood light and tends to default on humour and jokes in order to do so. Thus she’s very rarely serious and doesn’t like getting straight to the point unless she’s really desperate for your attention.

H — Hair

how well groomed are they?

Sisu doesn’t necessarily feel the need to trim or shape her pubic hair and generally lets it grow naturally. Like she might trim it a bit if it gets in the way of whatever clothes she’s wearing but she prefers to leave her bush as is.

I — Intimacy

how romantic are they in the moment?

She isn’t so much romantic as she is familiar and casual, keeping the mood light and not being too over the top with her love for you, whilst also focusing on the task at hand. Besides, her idea of romance involves what happens after sex and she has that covered.

J — Jack Off

how often do they masturbate? how?

Sisu doesn’t actually masturbate as she doesn’t see much of a point in it. She has you and back in the day she had plenty of options to go to take care of her arousal — and, regardless, she doesn’t get horny that often anyway. At most she might do it as a sort of foreplay if you ask her to, but due to her inexperience it’s incredibly clumsy and awkward. She just prefers to seek you out and so that’s what she does.

K — Kink

what are some of their kinks?

Whilst she isn’t the kinkiest person around, there are a few distinct things that she likes to indulge in. That list includes:

Praise Kink (giving & receiving)

Body Worship (giving & receiving)

Breeding Kink (receiving)

Creampie (receiving)

Thigh/Pussy/Ass Spanking (receiving)

L — Location

what are their favourite places to have sex?

Sisu isn’t fussy or prudish and is happy to have sex wherever is available for you to do so. But a particular favourite location for her, or type of location, is anywhere that’s in the heart of nature — being surrounded by colourful flowers and lush woodlands makes the whole thing more romantic and appealing for her.

M — Motivation

what turns them on?

She’s a simple woman, so seeing you fully or partially nude — or being teased or spoken to sexually — are solid ways to turn her on. Also seeing you panting after doing something physically exerting (such as a workout or a fight) has a good chance of making her more touchy than usual.

N — No

what won't they do in the bedroom?

Anything that could cause you serious physical harm is off limits for her, and so is anything relating to degradation. She just doesn’t have the heart to insult you or to be insulted by you, even if she knows it’s not genuine.

O — Oral

do they prefer to give or receive? how good are they?

She’s much more inclined to receive than to give, but either way it’s an extremely messy affair.

When she’s receiving, she’s a complete mess who’s only able to writhe and moan and gasp as you eat her out. She prefers to sit on your face and ride your tongue, but she doesn’t really last long enough to build up much of a rhythm and usually ends up just grasping at your hair and pleading with you to make her cum as she bucks and circles her hips downwards.

If you have a penis, then she prefers to use both her hands and her mouth so that she has the freedom to converse with and praise you as she sucks you off. She’ll only take the first third into her mouth, bobbing her head and hollowing her cheeks around you, whilst using her hand to jerk the rest of your dick off — trying to find a rhythm and failing quite spectacularly. In the end your dick and her face and neck will be covered in a mixture of saliva and cum and she’ll look a complete state, smiling and giggling up at you as she lets go of your cock, not even slightly apologetic about the mess she’d made of you both.

If you have a vagina, then she’s going to end up with her face and your thighs drenched in your cum (even being known to get some in her hair because she forgets to move it out of the way). She insists on laying between your thighs whilst on top of you whilst she eats you out and it is a very messy affair — with the lewdest, wettest sounds imaginable coming from her as she gets really into what she’s doing. She’s sloppy and will use her fingers inside of you whilst she sucks on your lips and clit, moaning against you as she does so, and occasionally breaking away to make sure you’re okay. By the end of it you’ll be seeing stars but you’ll have a substantial mess to clean up once you’ve managed to catch your breath.

P — Pace

are they fast or slow? are they rough or gentle?

Fast, erratically fast if you give her the chance to control the pace. But generally speaking she’s a bottom and will just try and match your pace as best she can, which usually requires her to be held down so she doesn’t give you both friction burns.

Q — Quickie

what is their opinion on quickies? how often would they have them?

Loves them — especially during certain times of the year. She finds them useful at helping to quell her hormones and sexual appetite when she’s particularly needy, and she can appreciate the use of partial quickies to help you get off when she’s not in the mood.

R — Risk

are they willing to experiment?

Unless it’s something that’s actually a threat to your well-being, she’s always down to try anything once. She’s adventurous and curious and loves keeping things as fresh and exciting as possible, so pretty much anything you propose is going to get an enthusiastic yes and will be incorporated into the next time you sleep together. Or, at least, the next time after you prepare everything you need to try out the kink in question.

S — Stamina

how long can they last? how many rounds?

Shockingly, Sisu doesn’t necessarily have that much stamina in her. She can go for two or maybe three rounds at most, but after that she’s basically dead on her feet and is a few seconds away from falling to sleep — so two is the limit if you need to do thorough aftercare.

T — Toys

do they own any toys? do they use them on their partner?

Not on her own as they weren’t really a thing before she was turned to stone and afterwards she didn’t really see much of a point in purchasing any. Though if you were to buy or bring some of your own into the mix then she certainly wouldn’t turn you down.

U — Unfair

do they like to tease?

Sisu does tease you, just not in the bedroom. Like she’ll trounce around whilst you’re out and about, intentionally moving in a way that’s inconspicuous to others but that shows off the parts of her body that you’re especially fond of. She’ll also encourage you to feel how wet she is by sliding your hand under her clothing. But that’s quite rare for her as it’s rare for her to get this horny unless she’s on her cycle.

V — Vocal

how loud are they?

She’s not especially loud, but she’s massively vocal — giving off plenty of gasps and moans and whimpers and pants whilst you’re pleasuring each other. She also tends to giggle a lot because of how sensitive and ticklish she is, so you’re never going to have a truly quiet fuck with her.

W — Wild Card

a random headcanon for the character.

All dragons go through something akin to heat cycles where they experience an intense need to build a nest, be around their partner and mate. Sisu in particular tends to get especially clingy during her cycle and will basically always be hanging off of your arm and rubbing herself against you, whining and groaning and begging you to just go somewhere private to have sex.

X — X-ray

what's under their clothing?

Sisu’s chest is pretty average in size and soft, not particularly perky but not sagging either, with small extremely sensitive nipples. Further down her labia are extremely small and tight, meaning that the inner parts of her pussy are on full display at all points.

Y — Yearning

how often do they want sex?

Unless she’s in heat, she tends to only really actively crave sex once or maybe twice a week. She’s just not a particularly horny person — but she’s happy to give you a quick handjob if you have a higher libido than her.

Z — Zzzzzz

how easily/quickly do they fall asleep after the act?

Very quickly. She gives her all into sex and tends to nod off as soon as her head touches your chest, lulled to sleep by your body heat, her closeness to you and her exhaustion. It’s adorable but inconvenient if you have a quickie and now need to explain why Sisu suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the day.

Mistletoe

[Raya and the Last Dragon] Raya x Female Reader

Summary: When you fail to take notice of the not-so-subtle hints Raya keeps dropping to get you under the mistletoe, she ultimately gives up on the hinting and pulls you in.

[A/N]: Taking a short break from writing for Val. I wish I had seen this movie sooner. Raya immediately stole my heart.

Enjoy!

“Namaari, look at Raya,” Sisu whispered, jabbing Namaari in the arm with her elbow. Glancing down at her and then to where she was pointing, Namaari bit back a small laugh upon seeing her friend leaning against the wall uncomfortably, failing almost miserably at flirting with the girl she was talking to. “God, she’s hopeless.” Sisu snickered, handing Namaari one of the drinks she had swiped off the table when they showed up to the small house party. Slowly, the taller woman sipped at the drink in the cup, silently wondering to herself how long it would take Raya to get over her nerves.

Sisu leaned over to whisper again. “Do you think we should help her somehow?” A shake of the head was her response. “No, she needs to do this on her own.”

For over two hours, Raya had been trying to guide you under the mistletoe that the host had hung in the doorway of one of the halls. Whether you were deliberately avoiding it or were just genuinely oblivious to the small decoration hanging overhead, she didn’t know. All she did know was that she was starting to get a little frustrated.

She had propped herself against the wall closest to you, smirking with her best look of feigned confidence as she tried her best to flirt with you. It seemed you weren’t entirely getting anything she was hinting at, unfortunately.

All she wanted was to let you know she loved you, and if she was being honest with herself, she had for a while. After being invited to the party and learning that you were going to be there too, she promised herself she would take it as her opportunity to finally confess. It had been difficult the past few months to be around you, especially considering that you were one of her roommates, and she was tired of constantly feeling helplessly in love with you. She wanted so desperately to get rid of that feeling and finally know if you felt the same way.

And there she was, trying to shoot her shot with you, and you just didn’t seem to notice any of it. She had finally managed to get you alone after talking with your friends for the majority of your time there, but your obliviousness made it seem like she was so small – like she wasn’t even there. You weren’t ignoring her. In fact, you were actively talking with her. It just felt like you were ignoring the flirty comments and remarks she continued to send your way.

She had seen a few other couples end up under the mistletoe – which was only a foot away from where you stood – and it upset her. They seemed to wander underneath it eagerly. Was she not being convincing enough? Did you not like her the same way? She was sure you did.

After several minutes of nonstop flirting, she was tempted to just blurt out what she was wanting. ‘Wanna join me under the mistletoe?’ It seemed so easy in her head. Why was this so hard?

For a moment, she could feel eyes on her. When she turned, she found Namaari and Sisu staring back at her with smiles, laughing quietly at her expense before motioning for her to keep trying. She rolled her eyes at them before her gaze fell down to the cup in her hands. A small sigh unwillingly slipped past her lips, catching your attention.

“You okay?” You asked, and, oh, Raya nearly melted on the spot at how softly you looked over at her. The corners of her lips perked up into a small smile at your concern. She nodded, not wanting you to worry over her. “Yeah, I’m alright.”

A moment passed where nothing more was said between the two of you. Eventually, Raya’s eyes wandered across the room. Her teeth sunk into her bottom lip and she quickly averted her gaze at the sight of yet another couple necking. Slowly, her eyes trailed up your body, stopping at your face, and she couldn’t resist the desire that bubbled up in her, wanting to know how your lips would feel against hers. She didn’t even know if you’d want to kiss her.

She wanted to think that you’d return her affections happily, that you’d enjoy kissing her as much as she enjoyed kissing you, that you’d pull her closer and only pull away once you were both breathless. The more rational part of her mind, however, reminded her that the opposite could become reality. Maybe you’d push her away, telling her you didn’t feel the same. What if you mocked her or thought she was gross for liking you? She knew you were into girls, but were you into her?

A hand landing on her shoulder and giving it a squeeze pulled her from her harmful thoughts. Blinking, she looked to the side to find you still studying her. Had you even looked away? “Are you sure you’re alright? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you like this.”

With a small groan, she ran a hand down her face and nodded. “Yeah. I’m fine.” You weren’t buying it, she knew that, but you still turned with a nod of your own and let your hand fall back down to your side. She had to stop herself from snatching your hand and keeping it against her skin. “Okay,” you murmured with a frown. Her heart throbbed. Ever since she met you, she felt physical discomfort anytime she’d upset you, even if it wasn’t over anything serious. She couldn’t bring herself to say no to you. She wanted you to be happy with her, not the opposite.

Huffing out a sigh, she turned to face you fully. “I just don’t get why you’ve been ignoring my hints and advances instead of at least addressing them.” It caught her off guard to see you stare back at her with pure bewilderment. Immediately, she regretted the tone she had used.

“Hints and advances?” You echoed, brows pinched together as you tilted your head in confusion. “What do you mean?” All she could do was stare at you for a moment, just as puzzled as you were. Had you genuinely not understood her motives? She thought she was being obvious. Namaari and Sisu clearly thought so too. “Well, yeah,” she started, internally cursing at the way her voice broke. “I’ve been flirting with you all night. I thought you were just ignoring it.”

You chuckled uneasily, shaking your head and glancing away for a moment. “No, I just didn’t know that’s what you were doing.”

She let herself chuckle, ducking her head back down and covering it with one of her hands. “Oh, wow. Okay.” Almost immediately, all of her anxiety seemed to fade away, and she quickly turned to grab your hand after placing both your and her cups down on a nearby table. Before you could question what she was doing, she pulled you over under the mistletoe like she had been wanting to all night. She pointed up at it with a grin, her hands dropping to rest against your hips and pull you closer to her. “Then I’ll be upfront here. Since we’re under the mistletoe now, is it alright if I kiss you?”

To her surprise, your face went red and you giggled – a sound she had never heard from you before. You tried for a minute to give her a verbal response, though you ultimately gave up and offered her a nod instead. Now elated, her smile widened and she let one of her hands lift to cup your face. Slowly, in order to properly gauge your reaction, she tilted her head and leaned forward. As a way to get back at you for being so blind to her advances, she paused when your lips grazed hers.

She chuckled when you pouted with your eyes still closed. After waiting, she dove into the kiss upon seeing you open your eyes again, likely ready to ask her what she was doing. Every dream of having you close to her like this over the past few months finally felt fulfilled. Your lips fit just as perfectly against hers as she had hoped, and it took everything in her not to devour until your lips were blue.

She would do that some other time, she promised herself, when the two of you were somewhere far more private. For now, she was just grateful that she had you in her arms.

Once she finally pulled away, she found you staring up at her in surprise, your pupils blown. Her heart fluttered at the sight of what just one of her kisses had done to you. She smirked to herself. She couldn’t wait to get more of those reactions out of you once you both made it home. Briefly, she glanced over at Sisu and Namaari, finding them not even paying attention. Her grin widened when she turned her focus back to you.

She’d have to ask them to leave the dorm for a bit.

Possibly for the entire night.

She hummed, watching you lean toward her again for another kiss. Happily, she closed the gap.

There was only one way to find out.

When I Looked Into Your Eyes, I Saw Stars For The First Time | Raya x Reader

╰┈➤ PLOT: Raya was helpless with her crush on you. What she didn't know was how much you liked her back. In other words, four times Raya daydreamed about you and the one time she thought you might be daydreaming too.

╰┈➤ WARNINGS: Hopeless Lesbian, Fluff, Long Oneshot, No Use of Y/n, Second Person, Not Proofread.

twenty-one. raya was twenty-one freaking years old and she still had a crush on you. it's been six years. six, and raya still had no clue how to get you out of her head. how could she want to?

when she thought of you, she thought of how your eyes sparkled during firework shows at night festivals. she thought of how your cheeks puffed up when you stuffed your face full of food and then how depleted you felt after.

to her, you were so cute it was sickening. downright nauseating and her knees were weak.

ONE

-

"wow, raya! are you sick or something? you're looking at that human like how noi looks at golden and shiny objects." the dragon lady commented. raya hummed in a measle response. she pushed a lazy shoulder towards the dragon and let her hat loosely hang from her fingers.

at the day market, you were negotiating with an elder merchant. as you walked by her table, you noticed some sparkly crystal-beaded jewelry. upon further inspection, the beads were fake. nonetheless, you still wanted the jewelry, but not at the ridiculous price she was advertising.

"all's good, sisu," raya slurred her words. she shifted her weight to her back foot, letting the other stretch out. in a love-stricken daze, she put a hand in her pocket.

"yeah, right," namaari commented. she took the hat from raya's fingers. with light movement, she placed the hat on raya's head. namaari continued to smack the top of the hat with a bonk!

"hey!" raya huffed. she tilted the brim of the hat upwards. "what gives?"

"what gives is your longing. stop being a baby and ask them out already." namaari rolled her eyes. she crossed her arms over her chest while a merchant went around advertising homemade bao.

raya scoffed. "i have no clue what you're talking about."

"oo, raya has a crush! who is it? who is it?" sisu bounced around hon her heels, grabbing a bao as she looked up and down the street for raya's crush.

on cue, you walked over to the group holding five bracelets. "i finally got her to mark the price down some. that lady had a tight grasp around her 60 jade per bracelet."

"per bracelet?!" sisu exclaimed. she snapped her attention to the shiny objects wrapped around your fingers. you nodded. you took a blue and purple bracelet from your collection and wrapped it around sisu's wrist.

"yup. 60. she's crazy but im crazier. i made her change the price to 15 for one or 20 for 5."

"whoa," namaari added. "that's a crazy price drop. how'd you do it?"

"a magician never reveals their secret." you gave namaari a dazzling grin as you slid a firey red bracelet around her wrist. raya tilted her head to the side and hummed again. the polishing of the crystals had nothing against the shine in your eye.

-

-

"okay, so, i gathered information from tail to fang and no one has anything on fermented bean sprout powder," you announced as your walked into the designated meeting room of raya's home. raya and namaari were sat at the table.

raya and namaari, up to no good as usual, were making some sort of potion or maybe a dish that required outlandish ingredients like dusted jasmine flower and fermented bean sprout powder. you weren't even sure if those things existed.

raya groaned, leaning her elbows on the table. she held her head in her hands. "are you sure? no one has any information on anything?"

"mm, nope." you placed the collection of papers you had in your hand on the table. beside the paper was a stack of books. "hey," you ran your hand across the thick leather cover of the first book. it was as thick as box of juice, its cover dusty and scratched up. the title of the book was intelligible. "can i scan through this to see if i can find anything?"

namaari, who's been quiet this whole time and enjoying the daze looked in raya's eye, turned her head towards the Heart princess. "yeah uh," raya sat up in her chair. she cleared her throat and scooted the chair closer in. "of course." with a thank you and a sweet smile, you sat at the table. you took the thick book off the top of the stack. it landed on the table with a thick thud. a puff of dust erupted of underneath. you simply swatted the dust away before reading.

raya tilted her head, resting a cheek in the palm of her hand. she was at the end of the table while you were on the opposite end and on the side. the same side namaari was sitting on. namaari was in the chair closest to raya.

raya let out a quiet, dreamy sigh. switching her head to her other hand as you flipped to another page. namaari groaned. she sat back in her chair and pinched the bridge of her nose. "seriously, you're still hung up over this? i thought you were done."

snapped out of her thoughts, raya glared at namaari. "may i remind you why we're here in the first place? no, I'm not done. stick a cork in it."

"stick a cork in it? stick a cork--" namaari stood from her chair. the chair scruffed against the flooring. the sound rang through the echoey room, but you paid no mind. raya grabbed her wrist and shoved her back down.

"stick a cork in it."

THREE

-

"i don't know, there's just, something about them," raya spoke to the stars. she sat at her bedroom window. she had the doors opened, curtains pulled back, and rested an arm on the seal. she sat on the cush cushions of the bench her father made her when she was young.

at first, it was so she could look at the stars without going on her tiptoes, but now it was a place for her to collect her thoughts and talk to the sky.

"i feel different around them. it was the same way i felt with namaari when we were little, but stronger somehow," she spoke out to the sky. "like, when i first met namaari, i was bursting with excitement. i was making a new friend, she was nice, and also a dragon lover. obviously, that feeling turned into hate for a little while, and I'm not saying i hate them or namaari--" she interrupted her ramble by groaning. she dramatically let her forehead fall to her arm.

she took a deep breath. "saying these feelings are so much harder than thinking them," she mumbled into her hand. she lifted her head up, placing her chin on her arm instead. "what i have with them is different than what i have with namaari. it's the excitement, the giggling, and the dizziness i get when I'm around them that's so addicting. i didn't get that with namaari. what i had with her was simply platonic." raya looked up into the sky. a cluster of stars gathered by some leaves of a tree. a soft breeze brushed her skin, forcing raya to take another deep breath. she closed her eyes. she let her shoulders come up to her ears and then deflate. she slouched, feeling a pull towards the ground. slow, she opened her eyes again. she was refreshed, renewed. she knew what her feelings meant now.

when she looked back into the sky again, a star that led the cluster twinkled. raya smiled, the breeze brushing past her ears. "yeah, i get it now. thank you."

-

FOUR

-

finally, the last time raya daydreamed about you co-sided with the time she realized you daydream about her.

there was a party at Heart. it was summer and Heart used every excuse they could to throw a party. Heart's Annual Summer Bash was something all the regions participated in. before the whole, saving the world thing with sisu, a sprinkle of people from each region would come, but since then, everyone came!

raya stood by the food table, resting on the half wall behind. with a fond look in her eye, she scanned the party. there was a couple dancing with their kid in the middle of the dance floor, kids running around with food all over their faces, and then there was you, happily talking to sisu. whatever you were talking about, it excited you.

your eyes lit up, their color even more vibrant than before. the apples of your cheeks puffed up because of how much you were smiling and laughing. raya felt like her chest was going to explode. she wanted to cup your face and kiss it, make you smile more. she wanted to hold your hands and feel how soft they were. raya wanted to do so many things with you, but she couldn't. she didn't want to creep you out.

"raya," her father said as he walked over with a smile. he was dressed up in his party wear, his hair in his usual man bun. snapping out of her trance, raya matched her dad's smile. she pulled him into a hug.

"hi, dad!"

"raya," her dad resumed. he pulled away from the hug. "this party is amazing. you and namaari outdid yourselves." raya waved him off with a sheepish chuckle.

"oh, it was nothing."

"nonsense. this party is better than any one i orchestrated." chief benja laughed, shaking his head. with a happy sigh, he leaned against the wall. "are you okay, dewdrop? i saw you spacing out earlier."

raya's smile softened. she turned around to lean her forearms on the wall's edge. she looked out the opening. she could see the bridge and sparkling water. even from far away, she could see the leaves moving in the wind. "yeah, I'm okay."

chief benja's smile matched hers. he rubbed the small of her back. "you saw them, didn't you? why don't you confess and tell them how you feel? it's been seven years--"

"-- six actually." raya stood upright. she held onto the wall as she rocked herself back and forth. "it's been six years since i had a crush on them. won't be seven until two months."

chief benja laughed. he put his hands up in defense. "oh, excuse me. six years." he opened his mouth to speak again, but from the corner of his eye, he saw a certain young adult walking up to them while fidgeting with a beaded bracelet. "oh, i think someone is calling my name," he told raya. "I'll catch you later."

"okay, dad--"

"hi, raya."

-

FIVE (technically one)

-

she just had to stand like that. with her thumbs in her pockets and her back against the wall.

you were proud to say your crush on raya has been a successful secret. no one, absolutely no one, knew you liked her. not even namaari, the girl who swears she knows everyone's secret. she was too wrapped up in her own life to notice yours. not that you were complaining though.

you had a crush on raya for years now; you didn't know the exact number.

there were many opportunities where you hinted your crush on her. like earlier this week, you bought her a bracelet. then, you volunteered to find that ingredient she needed, and now, you were at her party having the time of your life.

okay, so, maybe you weren't the best at hinting at your crush on her but today you had a plan. you bought an extra bracelet for her. you spent your free time during the week creating a personalized charm. it was a heart with your initials engraved into it along with a plus sign. it was the perfect gift to confess. or maybe it was creepy. you hoped she didn't see it as creepy.

"hi, raya," you spoke. your voice was soft and quiet. if you two weren't so close, you were afraid raya wouldn't hear you.

"oh," raya turned around. she stood up straighter, a smile spreading across her face. "hey, you. you enjoying the party?"

your heart was racing. her beautiful brown eyes were staring directly into yours. you could only dream of this moment. her, smelling of fruit and forest, and the strands of her hair neatly pulled back and braided. she even had a half bun to match her dad's.

swallowing hard and wondering where the heck the moisture in your mouth went, you nodded. "yeah! um, I'm having a good time. i actually came over here to talk to you about something."

"uh oh, that doesn't sound good." raya chuckled. she waved you over to join looking at the view with her. you obliged. you stood next to her and instead of looking at the view, you looked at her. "what's up?"

you took a deep breath. there was no time but now to confess. "i made, well, bought this bracelet for you and added the charm." you handed the bracelet off to her. as she grabbed it, her fingertips lingered on yours.

you felt fizz burst up and through you. it was like she knew the effect her touch had on you. your ears were ringing and goosebumps spread to your arms. raya chuckled softly, her own cheeks changing in color.

she inspected the bracelet. she dragged her fingers against the small and cool beads. "this is really cool, thank you."

anxious, you watched as her eyes scanned the item. she finally took notice of the charm. she brought the bracelet closer to her eyes, squinting to read the text. the new color on her cheeks got worse. her dazzling eyes met yours and then looked back at the charm.

"this... this is..."

"raya," you let out a breath. "i like you. i've liked you for some time now and keeping my feelings a secret, while wildly successful, it's also wildly stressful. i lay awake at night hoping and wishing i get to see you and hang out with you." you glanced up at her. she was staring at you now. her face was hard to read. you couldn't tell if she was intrigued or grossed out. either way, you continued. "and if the gift isn't your style or maybe I'm not your style, but i thought you deserved to know how i feel about you so," you trailed off. how else were you supposed to end that? she still hasn't said anything.

raya didn't have anything to say. she realized a few nights back that actions mean a lot more than words. after you confessed, she thought of all the times you were there for her or gifted her something. how couldn't she notice? you were right there. all the time

she held up her wrist to show off the purple bracelet you bought her earlier that week. with a teasing smile, she took it off. she slipped the new one on. after putting the old bracelet in her pocket, she held your hand up to hers. your bracelet on the wrist she held up. she intertwined your fingers, her teasing smile now a grin. "i like you too, jewels."

you laughed. the ringing in your ears calmed down, but that didn't stop the fuzzy feeling in your stomach and the roaring warmth on your cheeks. "jewels?"

she nodded. "you have a knack for buying me jewelry," she cooed. "it's cute, but you don't have to keep buying stuff for me anymore. so, no more hassling old ladies to make sure you got a great gift for your super cool and attractive crush." she poked your nose.

you swatted her hand. "hey, no teasing!"

"ahh," she let go of your hand to wrap her arm around your shoulders. "no can do, jewels. you have a crush on me, it's only fair to tease you."

"oh, so i can tease you back?" you held the hand that was around your shoulders.

"not necessarily, but, i can give you something in return."

confused, you scrunched your eyebrows together and tilted your head. she pulled away from you with a laugh. after digging in her pockets, she pulled out a necklace that had a mini glass bottle hanging from it.

"it's uh, it's forever powder. mari and i found out about it while searching through old books. legend has it that whomever you give this concoction to, you swear your friendship and loyalty to them." she gestured to the necklace, silently asking if she could put it on you. you nodded. raya carefully took the necklace and wrapped it around your neck. she fixed your clothes to make sure the necklace was showing off.

"it looks like we both have a thing for gifting jewelry," you teased her. a grin spread across your lips. raya gave you a dry laugh. she wrapped her arm around your shoulders again.

"seems like."

Characters: Fem!Reader x Roronoa Zoro

writer's notes: HEY! I'M BACK! I'm graduating for my BA soon, FINALLY! Being so busy and coming back to One Piece and writing has been such a refreshing and welcome feeling; I'm really glad to be back. I'm so excited to finally post a new chapter for you all! I wrote an extra long chapter to make it up to you guys for all the time I've lost, and truly, I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did writing it. PLEASE don't forget to reblog, like or comment, as that helps me a ton in terms of support! Enjoy <3 c:

Chapter Thirty-Six: Dragon Taxi

The echoes of exhilaration reverberate against the crumbling walls of the Draconian citadel, turning every curious dragon’s head in a thousand-mile radius. The beasts pause, mid-flight, wings aflutter before their proud chests like a halo of glittering thorns and observe.

Raya continues to scream, breath after breath after breath, her fingers rooting painfully into the metallic back of Aragnus, in the fear of slipping off. The wind rushes straight into her throat like heavy bullets, her dark hair wildly jumbling up into waves in midst of the ceasefire. Her fingers accidentally brush past his glittering scales, and she can’t help but laugh as each of them flitter in response to her touch. It’s been so long since the last time she’s felt happy – so happy, she’s intoxicated with the feeling and conveniently forgetful of the worries she normally harbours onto like a masochistic blanket.

Aragnus swerves into a harsh right, speeding through the airborne traffic of his fellow brethren; Raya glances around, and for a moment, it feels like time slows down. Her eyes raise upwards, her soft lips parting as she slowly lets out a breath. Beautiful, elegant creatures swerve on each of her vulnerable sides, the curved silhouettes of their bodies singing sweetly into the marrow of her bones. Colours – so many colours, she thinks passionately to herself– glint across their metallic talons, making them look so incredibly heavenly to her plain human eyes.

Without warning, Aragnus plunges upwards.

The obsidian beast drives her upwards like a slinging comet, his tail glowing hot white in reaction to the force of the pressure, before he lowly chitters in what could only be described as teasing as he takes the sight of his dishevelled, frightful passenger.

She accusingly stares back at his large, glossy eyes, shouting against the deafening atmospheric pressure. “What was that?”

He swerves his head away from her gaze. A presentation.

She laughs. Her whole body gleams to the bubbling drop in her stomach, and for a second her fingers seem to be swimming in a pool of glitter, her eyes blurring from the extreme dryness of the air. Her hair, wild and dark and present with palpable energy, begins to ascent above her shoulders in a pool of glow and she doesn’t know what to do besides scream to express her joy.

And then she hears it. The unanimous startled hum of the thousands of dragons within this enormous citadel.

Instantly, Aragnus slows, humming out a rough breath of endorsement. He treads air, facing his kind and offering them a look satisfaction.

Good, he mutters to himself.

“What?” Raya asks. She hesitantly pats his back. “You can keep going, I’m not against you wanting to perform, my little taxi.”

Aragnus scoffs enormously as a spark of fire exits from his snout. Please refrain from calling me transport. Besides, I think we have played quite enough.

“Alright, but…” The next words dies on the tip of the swordsmith’s tongue as she looks around, staring at the view as Aragnus soars them to their destination.

The way the tunnels and entrances are split off from the centre citadel are similar to ant colonies, she remarks, fascination bubbling in her eyes. Aragnus soars through one of the hundreds of tunnels present, gliding effortlessly in the embers of the fire.

When they arrive, Raya doesn’t know what to say.

Where they are now couldn’t be described as anything else but majestic in a wild sentiment. With eight towering boulders equidistantly set in a semi-circle, the rest of the cavern is empty except for the humongous platform in the centre. But Raya notices something – etched across the platform is an array of thousands of claw marks, so imprinted into the rock’s surface that Raya somehow felt the desperation and fear of the many who stood there before her. Raya can’t help but wonder what had happened to the owners of those marks.

Seven other dragons, similar to Aragnus’ enormous size, but not as broad as he, begin to slow to their descent onto each of their designated boulder. One yellow, the other red, and a glittering green all begin to snort in what sounded like chittering excitement – and for some inexplicable reason, it makes Raya’s blood run cold.

She swallows, now feeling incredibly distrustful of her taxi ride. Her brown eyes scan for his, yet they’re unable to reach them as they remain focussed ahead.

“So,” Raya casually says, desperately trying to steel herself from feeling the panic rising in her stomach. “Am I being publicly executed, or what?”

But Aragnus doesn’t respond.

Raya swallows. “I asked you a question,” she slowly enunciates, staring down at the dragon who now graces them onto the clawed out platform.

Calm yourself. We shall explain in mere moments.

She swerves herself away from him like a jerk reaction, now completely alarmed by his response.

“You didn’t answer my question.”

A scream echoes against the walls. Usopp, distraught, comes running through the entrance.

“Raya!”

Her head snaps towards her crew, her brain slowly taking in each of their panicking faces. A frightened Chopper, Usopp and Brook – they gape at Raya, who dumbfoundedly stands alone and vulnerable on the crumbling platform with eight looming beasts carefully tracking her movements.

Luffy, Sanji, and Franky – even she can feel the heat of their concern from miles away.

Nami and Robin.

“What…”

Nami is at a loss for words; her eyebrows are knit together with dread. Robin’s eyes cautiously flicker around the room, most likely trying to figure the situation out.

And, finally, a manic Zoro.

Her eyes lock onto his almost out of second nature, holding his gaze for a moment longer than the others. He’s silent – way too silent for her liking, as he darkens almost instantly when he sees her standing there, all frozen.

There’s a madness in his eye, that’s without question. His fingers instantly snap onto his hilt, furious veins protruding out from his scarred skin.

Then, everyone collapses onto the floor, shouting. A sudden wave of intense pressure invades their minds, their hands clawing at themselves in desperation. All thought and reason exits from their heads as they ground their knees deeper into rock.

We, the eights, call all forth. We, the eights, call all forth, multiple voices – masculine and feminine alike, resound heavily, echoing in clusters of hypnotising thrums in everyone’s thoughts.

Instantly, Usopp screams. He has his hands over his ears, his fingers clawing at his ears, his eyes, over and over with no thought but intense agony. Raya gasps as she remains the only one standing.

Even Luffy is on his arms and knees, but instead of screaming, he remains eerily still.

“Can you—” Bepo grunts out, lagging behind the Strawhats through tangled vocals. He stumbles over his own feet, Law immediately grabbing him by the shoulder. “Am I going crazy? Can you hear that?”

“Yeah,” Law says, raising his fingers as the blue circle around him merges outwards to absorb the incapacitated. He looks at Raya with pursed lips, deep concern shadowing his face. “It’s most definitely the dragons.”

A large swarm screeches in the distance, their wings billowing through the hollow colonies of caves like a thunderous harmony. They grow nearer and nearer to her judgement, making Raya worriedly twist around to stare at the great eight dragons.

Raya furiously swerves towards Aragnus, who now takes a graceful position on largest boulder of the eight. “How are you doing that? How are you speaking to them?”

Merely, the dragon’s eyes narrow. You think very little of us, caller.

“Raya, are you alright?” Sanji calls out, his teeth gritting hard in his jaw. “What the hell do they think they’re gonna do to you? I’m gonna beat the shit out of them, I swear.”

“Shut it, cook,” Zoro snarls maliciously, forcing himself onto his feet despite the pressure that slams thickly into him. His lips twitch from the pain, but instantly he erases the expression from his face. “You’re making things worse.”

He begins to unsheathe his swords, but Raya raises a hand at him with a fiery glare.

“No. Don’t even think about it.” She soberly looks at Aragnus. “I’m going to handle this.”

Suddenly, Zoro laughs out loud, his dark grey eye bulging with a sudden rush of insanity. His voice rises to an alarming level of anger - barely ever occurring for the swordsman in question which catches Raya off guard.

“Do you know what kind of fucking situation you’re in right now? What they’re gonna do to you?”

Luffy instantly snaps his head towards Zoro, his face darkening. “I’m not letting that happen.”

“Stop it, both of you. If she’s not asking for your heroics, then you don’t intervene.” Nami snaps, grabbing both of their arms.

“But—"

With an ear-splitting whoosh, the swarm now appears soaring through the room like screeching bats, shrouding the cavern into complete darkness. They soar behind the great eight, poising themselves in what seems to be crafted like a crude amphitheatre clawed out of stone. Thousands of beady eyes slink on her, watchfully gazing on their prey.

She bristles at their stares, causing her to gain more courage than she should be granted in a predicament like this.

“Why am I here? Is this some sort of morbid entertainment? You want me to fight till the death?” Her voice rises, staring each of the great eights down. She glares at the centre of the eight, onto the proud, towering Aragnus. She mutters lowly, “Because I’ll fight. Don’t think for a second I won’t.”

“Shut the fuck up!” Zoro madly yells, struggling to free himself from Robin’s impenetrable hands.

Aragnus merely chortles. It sounds like you have been bloodthirsty for much too long.

Zoro freezes. “I swear to fuck, Raya, don’t do anything-”

Raya swallows. “I’m parched.”

The samurai curses so loudly, his voice echoes again and again within the infinite chamber.

Then it will be an honour to aid your palate.

And he swerves towards her, his serrated obsidian claws ripping out from between its armoured skin. Zoro, finally bouldering himself out of Robin’s grasp, immediately tries to charge towards her, but Aragnus is too quick.  With one single flap of his wings, he musters enough force to throw the swordsman flying in the air. Zoro hurtles away like an asteroid from such intense pressure that even heavy-bodied Franky has to slam his fingers into a boulder to stop himself from flying away.

Crack.

The sound of multiple bones painfully breaking apart envelops the space.

Moments pass. Silence.

There’s a deep hole made in the wall, rock crumbling over like heavy rain, with no sight of Zoro.

Nothing.

Raya’s heart stops. Her face falters.

“What the fuck,” she mumbles through clenched teeth, “was that?”

Aragnus twists his head and takes a slash at her, but she dodges it almost immediately. He pauses to smirk at her.

A presentation.

Her breath comes out unevenly, the blood in her body rushing to her head in intoxicating patterns.

She swallows, fury consuming her as she says the next few words.

“I want your fucking head.”

Instantly, she unsheathes her longsword and strikes at his throat. Aragnus merely snaps his jaw at her advance, but that doesn’t stop Raya. She takes this as an opportunity to strike again – and strike, she does, as she spins herself around so magnificently and proceeds to slice the tip of Aragnus’ tongue.

Aragnus roars in pain. He claws at her again, but, again, it’s blocked, and she swears that now the metal sprouting from her skin begins humming to the blood that flows from her anger. This is exactly how light would feel like, she thinks quickly to herself, as she slams her longsword towards the distressed beast. The metal hums. Her blood thickens. Pure light flows. Glowing deliciously through her cache like fire, like dust, like power.

Raya, Aragnus roars, Granddaughter of the glorious. Niece of the burning. Kotetsu’s truth. You do not know who you are.

“Totally, because, like, I’m brilliant by association, right?” Raya mocks, tilting her head at him and twirling her hair. She scoffs, spinning her longsword across her shoulder to her hip, then piercing it into the ground before her. “Learning such plain facts about me is nothing but kind of… disappointing, to be honest, Aragnus.”

Is that so? The dragon drawls humorously. Then, I ask you to look at yourself. Look at your hands. Your hair. The metal in your skin. Do you know who you are?

“And who do you think you are, my behavioural therapist?”

The dark dragon spins instantaneously, his spiked tail thundering against the floor like a spinning boulder. Raya screams in a blend of pain and exhilaration, her fingers glowing brighter and brighter, her sword vibrating aggressively in her palms. She swings with an overarm, aiming her longsword across Aragnus’ metallic spikes – albeit instead of hitting her mark, stumbles before she does. The dragon thunders a claw onto the platform, splitting the rock into thin, crumbling veins.

You do not know of your true birth right, true or false?

Raya bristles at this. She screams out like a manic beast, completely taken over by her feral instinct. “Hey, how about you shut the fuck up and just fight me?”

Her arm strikes right in between nail and metal, slicing through impenetrable skin with ferocity and finesse. Her hair, flowing above her shoulders, moves as if it’s fire raging beneath a body of undisturbed water.

Instead of roaring, Aragnus only growls in what sounds like positive approval.

Who is your mother, Raya? He pesters. Who is your father? Who do you think you are? Look down at yourself, or I will make you myself!

Before Raya can even react, Aragnus hurtles towards her like a shooting star and slams her to the ground. The air blasts out of her lungs in an instantaneous explosion, her bones beginning to split from beneath Aragnus’ claw, and she cries out.

“Stop!” Luffy screams monsterously. His eyes flash and bulge with madness, with the agony of watching Raya pathetically lay there like that. But he can’t help, as Law continues to hold him hostage in his blue room. Luffy swerves around, slamming his fists on Law’s chest. “You fucking moron, that’s my crewmate!”

“Luffy, wait…” Brook mutters softly as he presses a bony palm against the blue wall. He stands there at the commotion, frozen.

Law doesn’t react to Luffy’s multiple attacks on his arms and chest, his fingers still raised in the air. His eyes are completely focussed on her. On… On who is supposed to be Kozuki Raya.

“Turn around, Mugiwara,” he says. “Look at her.”

Luffy falters. He spins around.

Aragnus pushes her head harder, forcing her eyes to lock onto her own body.

Look, I say.

Raya freezes in her position as she stares at herself. It hurts. It hurts to even look. Her eyes burn like they’re about to melt out of her face.

No. Surely this isn’t the power granted by her devil fruit.

This…

Aragnus poises himself upwards and lets her go, slamming his claw against the rock before her.

You shine. You melt. You release the metal from your veins that blossom like apples on a tree and glow with the power of a thousand consumed souls.

It’s gold. Glowing, beaming light. So bright her retinas are burning and the metal in her skin is melting in liquid silk. Raya stands with silver liquid webbing across her pulsating, golden form. She is ethereal. She is everything consisting of tan skin, golden light and silver steel. Breathing does not matter to her anymore. Her life is only in blinding colour.

Again, the beast charges at her; Raya screams, jumping out of her trance. She, too, charges forwards, and like a shooting asteroid, clashes her whole being, her sword, her arms, and her forehead, against his protruding nails.

You think a mere fruit offers you this? He chortles through his snout. No. This is in your blood. You were never altered. Your heart beats – yes, it has always beaten - with wrath.

“Then who am I?” Raya thunders, and with that burst of anger, a shining light pulsates around her form, forcing her crewmates and allies alike to cover their eyes.

Would you like me to show you?

Immediately, Aragnus soars into the sky and he moves in the most impossible way.

He begins spinning. He spins his entire heavy body like a tabletop turner. Slowly, at first, he moves as if to show off himself in his chromatic, gleaming splendour, twisting and twisting and twisting around until all fall in trance to the wonder of his existence.

He then gains momentum, swirling faster and faster until the dragon becomes nothing but a blur -a dagger-shaped blur - aiming right towards her crew. Raya’s eyes panickily flicker towards them, until she realises that the dragon’s shadow is not hovering over their path, no.

Instead, this looming, heavy beast has his beady eyes tracked on someone else. Tracking straight through the wide, human-shaped hole in the wall, spinning so furiously he turns into a shade of black, he’s found the immobile samurai.

Raya’s wet, silver face falters in horrid realisation. Aragnus lowers his dagger-shaped head, and into a curved dive, allows the rest of his body to elegantly ripple after him.

That was the absolute to Raya’s already manic breaking point, as the blood in her body begins to rush in an impossibly fast momentum throughout her, defying the biology of her simple human body. With one step, she lifts herself off the platform, grounding the rock beneath her into dust, before screaming out a battle cry and shooting into Aragnus’ line of sight.

It’s bright. It’s too bright.

In the corner of her eyes, all she can see and taste and smell is of pure, pulsating light. It consumes her, burns her - lungs, heart and veins alike – until she is nothing but an orb of metal and rock and gas and sulfur.

Her skin is made of gold. The metal that used to spike and plunder through her skin intertwines together all over her body like clasping hands, webbing her skin into an armour of light. She can’t stop screaming – not because she’s in any pain, but as if someone else has taken over her body. She can only feel the pulse of battle and the thrum of a warrior’s heart entwine into her own, her hands and arms blackening into a dark metallic splendour.

She clashes against Aragnus with the entirety of her being, and with an ear-piercing shatter, combusts everything and anything around them into matter of darkness and suffocation. A black hole expands from her hands, formed through the consumption and explosion of her own self, before it fragilely disappears back into herself.

A moment passes, her manic and bulging eyes locked onto the monster’s, before the dragon snorts and pushes himself away.

Everything goes silent. Franky’s body lays protectively over Chopper and Usopp, his robotic eyes wide in panic at the swordsmith. Law’s chest heaves, his fingers trembling before him as the blue orb around them flickers in hesitation. Luffy’s mouth doesn’t seem to be working, his eyes shadowed with a pure shade of Gear-five-purple.

And then, something clicks.

Raya and Luffy stare at each other as if they’ve only just met now.

What is this feeling? A yearning to embrace, to fight, to magnetise, to be whole.

Zoro grunts out loud from beneath the rubble.

Raya’s head instantly snaps over to his voice, staring at the man who lays immobile on the ground through the hole.

He does not even dare to look away from the brown-eyed woman, even as he’s paralysed, leaving himself broken and vulnerable in her sight. Raya’s throat goes dry, dread rushing through her.

Aragnus then releases a head-splitting roar, swerving through the air between her and Luffy.

My brethren, he starts, we see them again. We see Nika, the first half of the Sun, the caller of seas, the God of Liberation.

He turns to Raya, and then does the unexpected. His head slams into rock in some sort of deep, eternal bow, his breath fluttering out in humiliating submission.

We see Cyra, the other half of the Sun, caller of ours, the Goddess of Retribution.

Writing Patterns/First 10 Lines Game

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there’s a pattern! (If you don't have 10, do as many as you have!)

Tagged by my dear @pitiable-arisen. This is a super neat concept, I like this idea! But I'm gonna cheat a little and follow Kuri's example of posting the first paragraph.

Uneasy Revelations - Darien Gautier x Fem!Werewolf!Vestige

Darien took a shaky step back as the adrenaline cleared and he returned to his surroundings. His heart suddenly plummeted to his stomach- he couldn't believe what he was seeing with his own two eyes-

2. Reunions and Confessions - Bastian Hallix x Ebonymist (my Vestige)

Ebonymist lounged on her rented bed at the Cloudy Dregs Inn. The book that had been sitting on the nightstand when she arrived made for decent reading material, but it was more to distract her from the agonizing waiting. Bastian had left a few hours earlier to meet with his long lost sister, Clairene. He had offered his Khajiiti companion to come with him, but she didn't want to intrude- this was for him, and he needed to do it himself, if nothing else to heal his hurt heart.

3. Now We're Stressed Out - Bastian Hallix x Fem!Vestige

"What's that you're reading?"

4. Loving Remedy - Bastian x Fem!Dunmer!Vestige x Darien Request

Bastian and Darien were concerned- Raya hadn't left her room in several days. Normally this wouldn't bother them, but they also hadn't heard from her in that time.

5. Quelling the Beast - Fennorian x Fem!Werewolf!Reader

The Gray Host ambush was just that- an ambush. Masterfully planned and executed, Verandis' protégé and the Vestige were caught completely off guard. House Ravenwatch fought valiantly, and with the Vestige at their side it seemed to be going well. Until Fennorian tried to help Gwendis as a tag team and they both were sent flying back.

6. Night Watch - Fennorian x Fem!Reader

"We're in the Blue Palace," Fennorian said, slightly confused. "There's plenty of guards here. Why would you need me to keep watch?" If it were any other circumstance, Fenn would have been more than happy to stand guard for his friend. The Palace was probably the most secure place he knew of, so the question caught him off guard.

7. A Night Stayed In - Darien Gautier x Fem!Reader

"Hello, love!" a soft voice called from the kitchen in response to the front door opening. "How did the training go?"

8. A New Mother Figure - Maternal figure Caska, Aeliah Remnus

It was a relatively quiet afternoon at the Dragonguard Sanctum. There were no immediate dragon threats to deal with at the moment. This gave the crew of the Perfect Pounce a well deserved rest. Gods knew they needed it.

9. A Fresh Start - Darien Gautier x Fem!Vestige, Platonic Bastian Hallix

Losing Darien Gautier in the battle against Molag Bal was hard. It was nothing like King Dynar, who had been imprisoned for millenia and finally, *finally* had been set free. Even though he gave his life for the cause, his passing released him from Bal's torture and he was free to move on to Aetherius. Bittersweet, sure, but a fitting end for the noble king.

10. Soothing Hands - Bastian Hallix & Fem!Vestige

"How many times have I told you not to let their words get to you, Bastian?"

If it's not tooth-rotting sweetness, it's gut wrenching angst :,D

I Appreciate It

[Raya and the Last Dragon] Raya x Female Reader

Summary: You're the reason Raya's enjoying her life, and she wants to make sure you know she appreciates it.

Word Count: 6.52k Content + Warnings: Fear of rejection Category: Fluff || One-shot

[A/N]: Wrote this in one sitting and, as usual, didn't proofread it, so apologies in advance if some things don't make sense.

Enjoy!

A few steps away from her bed, a small set of hooks had been bolted in the wall to offer a supported display for Raya’s sword. She often kept it there now that serenity had been returned to Kumandra, having no practical use for it other than decoration. When she would go out training, whether she was on her own or not, she’d take it down just long enough for said occasion. Although there had been structures set after the attack of the Druun to prevent another fall into despair, thieves and bandits were still often left to their own devices, which drove them to the last resort of trying to attack or invade surrounding lands.

Heart just so happened to be one of the parts of Kumandra that drew the most attention. Raya figured it was because of the tales that had been beginning to spread about how peace was restored to the land again. Although the gem of Sisu had been broken, it was still the target of many thieves, regardless of the fact it had no proper use now that the dragons had been resurrected. “I guess I could understand why they still want it,” Raya once mumbled to you, standing by your side as she cradled the fractured orb in her hands. “It drove the Druun away for so long. It’s how Namaari and I were able to escape with our lives and rescue everyone in Fang.”

Even though attacks were taken care of easily and were slowly becoming less frequent, Raya still took it upon herself to make sure she was ready for whatever might come her way. With help from her Ba, she began to train the children who wanted to help defend Kumandra as a whole. Despite the five lands having returned to solidarity with one another, there were still the threats of the world outside of their borders. Armies were still formed over time and were placed on high alert to keep the people safe.

Raya spent three days out of each week to help train the younger generations, but she always made sure to reserve time for herself to keep her skills sharp. Though most of the reason was to ensure she would still be ready for the inevitable, part of it was to give her something to do throughout the day, something to keep herself busy. Often, she would invite you with her when she’d train solo, and as she meandered over to the makeshift shelf on her wall and lifted her sword from its pegs, that day was no different.

Slipping out of her bedroom and down the hall, she greeted each person she passed, the corners of her lips tugged upwards gleefully as her excitement to see you grew with each step. She did her best to suppress the twinge of queasiness making itself known in the pit of her stomach when recalling the entirety of her plan.

She had met you back when she was twelve, specifically right after being thrown into the river by her Ba. Wrecked with fatigue by the time she washed up close to the shore, her eyes had begun to shut against her will, the grip she had on the broken piece of the dragon gem faltering, and her arms and legs tiring of the constant battle against the frigid waves. Her vision was beginning to blur, voice breaking as she called out for help. Still, she fought to stay awake, able to feel the tips of her fingers grazing against the sand decorating the shoreline.

Her body had barely made it far enough to rest only partially against the land before it gave in beneath her. The waves once again swept her underneath, quick gasps and coughs her response as she once again began to thrash to the surface. The little bit of adrenaline she had left burned to life beneath her skin, and it only worsened when she felt something grasp roughly at her arm and pull. Once she was finally able to lift her head from under the water again, her brows furrowed together as she tried to squint through the bleariness blocking her vision.

When the figure ahead of her pulled her ashore and dragged her far enough away to avoid being stolen by the river again, it clicked in her head that she was being helped. The figure hovered over her as she laid there on her back underneath the blackening sky littered with stars. She couldn’t move any of her limbs in that moment, and ultimately she ended up passing out, her fingers finally releasing the broken gem once her eyes fell shut.

The next morning, she awoke to find herself violently coughing up the water from before. Her fingers had clutched desperately against her chest as she finally gasped for air, the pain subsiding only after the sputtering had come to an end. Groaning, she finally managed to pry open her eyes and stare down at the mixture of water and vomit beneath her on the sand. A grimace was her only reaction as she tried to recall all that had happened.

Her head turned upon remembering the shattered dragon gem, eyes trailing over the shore for the piece she had been handed before her Ba had tossed her and left her crashing through the surface of the river she used to admire. Fearful, her eyes widened when she couldn’t spot the glowing part of all that had been left behind by Sisu. With a panicked grunt, she forced herself to her feet, grasping at the side of her head in pain and hissing as she stumbled forward.

“Hey, be careful,” a sudden voice chimed in from beside her, a hand landing on her shoulder and prompting her to jolt and spin on her heel to face the owner. Instantly fixing herself into a stance of defense, Raya found herself staring ahead at a girl, no older than herself. You. You had clearly been startled by her motions as well and shakily stepped back, holding your hands up in surrender as you fought against your nerves. “Who are you?” She had asked immediately, eyes flickering across your body and finding a plethora of scratches and bruises, and when she briefly glanced down at herself, she found she was in the same state. You gave her your name in reply, then pulled at the satchel you had fixated over your shoulder until it slid off. “Here,” you murmured, arms outstretched to offer her the bag.

Curiously, she continued to glare at you. You were just a young girl like her, surely you were no threat. ‘No,’ she reminded herself. ‘Namaari’s my age too, and look at what she did.’ With a movement too quick for you to register right away, she snatched the satchel out of your hands and stepped a decent distance away to peer into it. Surprised to find the gem she had been looking for inside, she finally turned her attention back to you, expectantly waiting for you to explain yourself.

“You were holding it when I pulled you out of the water,” you started. “I just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t draw any attention, so I put it in there. It should make it easier to carry it around now, too.” Her features now riddled with confusion, she fully turned to face you again. “Why didn’t you try to steal it?” “Why would I?” She hummed, eyeing you. Maybe you were just a girl. Maybe you really weren’t a threat.

Still, she huffed and tucked the gem back inside before shutting the satchel. After lifting it over her head and slipping it over her shoulder, she turned around, glancing at her surroundings to try and understand where she was. “Where are you going?” You asked, finally gathering the courage to step up beside her. With a small hint of distrust glistening in her eyes, she glared back at you. “I have to get the rest of the pieces of Sisu’s gem back,” she replied, lifting her head to focus back on the land ahead. “But I’ll need to grab something from Fang first.”

She had only gotten to take a few steps forward before you spoke again.

“Could I come with you?”

“Why would you want to do that?”

“I don’t want to be alone.”

“What I’m going to do isn’t safe.”

“Well, staying here where the Druun could find me isn’t safe either, is it?”

You stepped forward then, planting your hands together and bowing your head as a sign of respect as you plead. “Please, take me with you. I don’t know where to go. My family was taken by the Druun, and I don’t know what else I could do.”

Silence fell between the two of you, her steps faltering before stopping as she turned to face you once more. Briefly, you could see her glance into the distance behind you before her shoulders slumped down in defeat, paired with a heavy sigh. “Okay, fine, but you’d better be good at fighting,” she mumbled. A groan slipped past her lips when you admitted you had no idea how to do so.

“Guess I’ll have to teach you.”

You followed her around for a bit. She had to spend a few weeks making her way back to Heart to gather supplies, and while she was there, she grabbed a few things she knew she would need, including her Ba’s sword. When she unsheathed it to ensure it was still intact, she couldn’t help the smile that graced her lips when she noticed you staring at it in awe. “You know how to use that?” She shrugged. “Not really, but I’ll have to learn. Come on, we’ve got to find something for you to use, too.”

Even though it was irritating at first to have to spend time training you as well as herself, as well as finding ways to feed the two of you and seek out shelter, Raya had learned to appreciate your company over the years. By the time Sisu had been brought back and everything was finally brought back to normal, she had grown to trust you with her life. And with the help of Sisu and Namaari (i.e. their relentless teasing during festivals and meetings), she realized with even more time that she had fallen for you as well.

Now that Kumandra was brought together as one again, training became more of a way for her to stay busy and to reminisce on how she helped teach you to fight. Even during the first session you had spent with her, she remembered the way you threw out compliments and words of encouragement with her fighting style and skill. It was one of the things she looked forward to most now: she wasn’t necessarily one to flaunt her talents to others, but you seemed to be the one exception.

She adored seeing the pure admiration in your eyes, prideful to know that it was caused by her. The few times when you weren’t able to join her, she’d often end up calling it quits within a relatively short amount of time. It wasn’t just the look in her eyes that she loved – it was also your praise. When you’d join in and spar against her, you’d still compliment her different tactics. She had gotten used to teasing remarks and insults when fighting Namaari as she had traveled to find the dragon gem’s missing pieces years before. It was always refreshing to have someone be so positive.

Your positivity was one of the main things that had drawn her to you. Growing up and trying to survive together over those six years brought the two of you close to each other very quickly. You had to put trust in one another, especially with how close you had to physically be in case of the attack of the Druun. Raya carried the gem rather than you, so she wanted you to stay by her side at all times to make sure she could protect you.

When the festivities had been held as Kumandra came together again the day Raya was reunited with her Ba, she had eventually ended up climbing to the top of the stone palace in Heart, needing a bit of time alone to fully solidify for herself that everyone was back. It wasn’t long after she had sat down to gaze out at the open sea before you joined her, murmuring small complaints to yourself about the dress you had chosen to wear for the event being hosted just below.

She laughed softly as you sat down beside her and plucked out stray branches and wiped away patches of dust from the skirt of your dress. “Didn’t think you’d be able to make it up here in that thing,” she blurted, eyeing the small tears she could see at the hems of your sleeves and skirt. “I nearly didn’t,” you responded, running a hand down your face before lying down on your back and trying hard to catch your breath. After a moment where she could only gaze down at you, she leaned back until she was lying by your side. With her fingers laced together and resting on her stomach, her focus landed above on the sky.

“I can’t believe it’s over now,” she mumbled, eyes closing as she delighted in the cool breeze against her skin. A hum left you in reply, combined with a small, almost unnoticeable nod. You shuffled over, similarly to how you did on the colder nights when warmth was scarce, and let your head move to rest on her shoulder, rolling onto your side to get more comfortable. “Neither can I.”

She was grateful that the light provided by the moon was so dim, too dim to see the way her face darkened with color at your closeness. It wasn’t anything new to have you by her side, but it felt so much more intimate in that moment than before. There was no threat nearby, nor were there any icy winds nipping away at your skin, and yet there you were: curled up against her side with your head leaning snugly on her shoulder. “What do you think we’ll do now?” You asked softly, letting your hand fidget with the edge of her bust-wrap poking out beneath her vest, failing to see how she tensed – almost bristled – at the contact.

“I don’t know,” she stammered. With a bit of hesitation, she slipped one of her hands into the one you had been using to toy with her clothes. “I just want you to be there with me.”

“Oh. Hey, Raya! What’re you doing here?” She blinked, finally coming out of her memories and back to her senses. Somehow, she had made it to your house without realizing it, too caught up in her thoughts. “Hey, just wanted to see if you’re ready to come with me for training.” You nodded. You had clearly been tidying up your place before she arrived, which was evident from the small basket of laundry you were carrying outside. “Yeah, just let me hang these up real quick to dry.” As you set the basket down and started to pick out different pieces of clothing, she stepped over and leaned down to grab a few herself. “Oh, you don’t have to help.”

Smiling with a shake of her head, she moved over to the clothesline and helped you pin up the few blouses you had after finishing her own. “I don’t mind.” When you grinned at her, her own smile widened. “Are you doing this out of the kindness of your heart, or are you just wanting me to hurry up?” Your words elicited a chuckle from her, making her shake her head again. “A little bit of both,” she admitted. “But it’s only because I have something planned for us after training that we have to do before the sun sets.”

Now filled with curiosity, you raise a brow at her and lean over. “Oh? What is it?” “It’s a surprise. I can’t tell you yet.” With a fake pout, you crossed your arms, watching her as she pinned your last blouse to the clothesline. “You’re no fun,” you replied, making her roll her eyes and playfully bump your shoulder. “You know that’s not true.”

“Oh, do I now?” Her fingers gently wrapped themselves around your hand as she pulled you to begin the short journey towards her usual training spot. “Yes, you do.” As you were tugged along, you eventually moved to walk beside her, shifting your hand in hers until your fingers laced together. Unlike months before, the reddening of her face was visible underneath the blazing heat of the sun. Had there not been a chill in the air, you would’ve figured it was caused by the rays casting down and conducting the dances made by the deep shadows beneath trees and behind the homes surrounding your own. She had no way to hide it now without turning away, which she didn’t want to do.

If she turned away, she wouldn’t be able to glance over at you and admire every little feature adorning your face, which she wanted nothing more than to cradle and pepper in kisses. Although she didn’t appreciate the visibility of her flustered skin, she was grateful for the sunlight at the same time. The softness of the light graced over every part of you that she could see, and for a moment she found herself staring at you rather than where she was going. You had to guide her around a few rocks and stumps until she managed to look away again.

When she did, she could see the small field ahead that she was aiming for. “We’re almost there,” she informed you, arching an eyebrow when you laughed. “Yeah, I know. I’m not the one who’s been looking everywhere but where she’s going.” This time she did turn away, only to hide the way the red dusting her cheeks brightened at your words. She cleared her throat a moment after and hummed, rubbing the tips of her fingers together on her free hand as she thought of what to say. “I just got distracted,” was all she was able to say.

“I could tell,” you replied nonchalantly. With a teasing shove, she scoffed. You laughed at her actions and she smiled, eyes softening once they met yours and tensed shoulders finally drooping back down. Once your head turned to the side to look up and over at the trees dancing almost overhead, she could feel the corners of her lips faltering. Although she would never admit it out loud, she wished you were as desperate to look her way as she was just to catch even a glimpse of you.

She admired every part of you, big or small, and silently she wondered to herself if you felt the same about her. The two of you had a bond that couldn’t be formed with any other. Being hardened by survival growing up, combined with only being able to rely on each other for years, you often found yourself leaning on her for support or even just for company, and she did the same. Just your presence alone was often enough to calm her and soothe her of her worries. Half of the time you didn’t even have to speak. Just having you near was enough.

You were a beacon of hope to her – one of internal and external beauty that she would never tire of. Even though your features had changed and matured over the course of growing up, she found herself loving each one the same. Your eyes were ones she could find herself getting lost in with ease, your nose was always her favorite place to poke or tap whenever she felt like teasing you, your lips looked perfect when they’d curve up into one of your stunning smiles she always tried to cause. She adored everything about you.

She loved you, and she wondered if you felt the same.

And although she was tense beyond belief about it, she would find out if you did later on that night.

“Hey, we’re here,” you stated suddenly, snapping her out of her small trance. Looking up and around, she nodded, realizing you were right. Centered in the empty field were a few makeshift props Raya had set up to practice her aim.

Outside of the training targets, the grass was vibrant and lively, recently trimmed specifically for an open space Raya could train in. Colorful wildflowers freckled the small plot of land. Droplets from the previous day’s rain decorated a few petals, which helped reflect the sunlight from above. From a distance, the flowers would simply look like specks of color below small sparkles. At the farthest end of the field rested a short row of large teak trees, where you often sat to watch her in the shade. On the days you weren’t there, she couldn’t help but picture you resting underneath those trees, drawing in the loose dirt or toying with one of her spare weapons like you usually did.

“Do you feel like sparring with me this time?” She asked, trying to conceal the hope in her tone. For a moment, you glanced over and eyed the small crate of extra tools and weapons she kept stationed in the field. A frown formed on her lips when you shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m kind of tired from cleaning all day. Maybe next time we can come here in the morning or something so I can join in.” Regardless of her disappointment, she nodded in response and watched as you made your way over to the trees. She trailed behind you and unfastened her cloak, which she then handed to you after sliding it from her shoulders.

Neatly, you folded it up and set it in your lap upon sitting down. When she turned and stepped away a bit to stretch, you felt the pads of your fingers softly pinching part of the fabric of her cloak between them, grinning down at the softness of it. Each time you saw it, you remembered how she’d drape it over your shoulders when you’d start to shiver, even now that you weren’t left to fend for yourselves. During those colder nights spent trying to recover the stolen pieces of Sisu’s gem, even if she was sat in front of you to lead Tuk Tuk ahead, she’d stop and take it off, turning to you and helping you wrap it comfortably around yourself.

On the rare occasion you were both able to rest for the night, she’d find an abandoned home or outhouse and pull you inside, asking Tuk Tuk to keep watch in the meantime. She’d sit down and lean against one of the walls before inviting you to sit with her. Even though you’d start off resting beside her with your head on her shoulder, you’d always wake up to find yourself seated in her lap, which she claimed she only insisted on so you could both rest under her cloak. “I don’t want to freeze to death, okay?” “Yeah, I got that, but why do I have to be in your lap?” “We need all the warmth we can get, including body heat.”

You knew that was true, but you never bought that as being the only reason she pulled you onto her each time. Regardless of how truthful she was being, you never complained, instead opting to tease her about it. After a while of this, you realized she had taken notice of your liking towards the warmth it provided either way. Each time you would so much as tremble, she’d immediately be reaching her arm towards you with the cloak in her hand, offering it to you without hesitation.

Some nights you’d find yourself keeping yourself warm with it as you slept instead of your blankets. It didn’t technically belong to you, but it quickly became one of your favorite articles of clothing.

Smiling to yourself, you finally looked up from the cloak in your lap and let your eyes land over on her already striking one of the targets with her heel, grunting and stepping back to shift her weight before lunging forward again with a similar attack.

As the blows she landed on the small target continued, you began to let out small cheers to encourage her, which she turned to you and smiled at before returning to her motions. That same smile never left her lips, even as she switched to her sword and started slashing. After cupping your hands by the sides of your mouth, you shouted a few more words of praise, watching with glee at the way her confidence in her movements visibly grew.

You must’ve sat there for an hour or two before she finally hunched over, supporting her weight by planting her hands on her knees as she panted for breath. After she straightened up again and you stood to join her, she lifted her head and checked where the sun was in the sky. When you made it to her side, she smiled at the sight of you with her cloak now draped around your shoulders. “What did you have planned for afterwards?” You asked, reminding her of the very thing that was forcing her nerves to spike in her chest.

“You’ll see soon enough, I promise. That’s where we’re headed now, but I do have to ask: are you up for a bit of a climb?”

Very briefly, Raya returned with you to her bedroom to drop off her sword and change into something more comfortable before heading back out. It didn’t take long for you to realize where you were being led. As you tilted your head back to stare up and watch Raya beginning to climb up the stone curve of the palace, you couldn’t help but sigh. Your body was already worn out and sore from cleaning and feeding the livestock all day, and while the couple of hours spent watching Raya train was a nice break, it surely didn’t take away the fatigue melting over you with each passing second.

She noticed you hadn’t started to follow her up and turned to glance down at you. “You coming?” “Yeah,” you started in reply, running your hands down your face before stationing your hands against the rocky surface, “but you’re carrying me back down.” A small laugh escaped her as she shook her head, turning back around and resuming her climb. Grunts erupted from your throat as you hoisted yourself farther up the steep structure. Your body screamed at you to stop, begging for some sort of relief. By the time you made it up, Raya had knelt down and helped pull you the rest of the way to the top.

You rolled over onto your back, arms sprawled out by your sides as you desperately tried to catch your breath, barely able to hear Raya chuckle again over the sound of your heart pounding in your ears. “Are you really gonna die on me right now from a simple climb?” She teased, sitting beside you and leaning over to look down at you. “You never had trouble like this before.” The backs of your knuckles lightly swatted at her arm in response. “It’s been three years since I’ve had to climb anything like this,” you muttered with a small roll of your eyes. “Give me a break. I’m not in shape like I used to be.”

Silence met you instead of the teasing remark you were halfway expecting. You were hesitant to open your eyes, worried you’d find her glaring down at you with disdain because of your state. Eventually, you managed to convince yourself anyway, and your eyes flitted open only to find her gazing back down at you with one of the softest expressions you’ve ever seen on her. The sight of her admiration-filled eyes and warm smile made your heart thunder even louder, hammering against your ribs almost painfully as color crept up to your cheeks.

For a moment, you only stared at each other, too enveloped in the fondness that wrapped around your hearts to tear the attention away from one another. Her lips parted as though she was going to speak, though nothing came out. A hum left her instead, and she finally turned her head to look over at the sun setting in the distance. You sat up under her gaze once it returned to you, breath hitching and trembling when her hand slid forward against the grass and took yours into her own.

“I want to show you something.”

You followed her without question as she pulled you to your feet and led you over toward the opposite edge. Upon sitting back down, Raya motioned forward, prompting you to follow her line of sight until you were met with a sight worth remembering. The late hour of the evening was bringing the sun lower to the horizon, partially hidden away already. The gentle waters surrounding Heart were littered with small boats that rocked almost hypnotically in sync.

Waves usually soaked with deep hues of blue were now painted shades of red and orange from the softening glow of the sunlight. As the ocean swallowed up the sun, the water below darkened slowly into purple before growing murky and black like the sky hovering just above, mirroring the specks of light from the stars and the moon. The sunlight almost seemed to remain above the sea as the fishermen lit their lanterns, brightening the glow dancing along the waves.

Awestruck by the sight, you failed to notice Raya now turning herself towards you. It wasn’t until her hand grazed over your forearm that you were brought back to your senses. You turned to her, letting your eyes drop down to where her fingers traced random patterns into your skin. “Raya?” It seemed she couldn’t meet your eye anymore, making you wonder to yourself if you had done something to upset her. The sight of her smile returning eased you.

“Do you like the view? I would’ve brought you here sooner, but I wanted to wait until the sky was clear.” Her voice sounded different than what you were used to. It sounded gentle – vulnerable – and almost scared. It helped very little to soothe her with a nod, but you weren’t sure what to say. Something felt different about the way she was acting.

“Is everything okay?” Was all you could come with, turning your body to face her properly as well. Her head dipped down briefly, chest rising as she sucked in a deep breath. “Yeah,” she whispered. “Just a little nervous.” You supposed the gentle chuckle she let out was an attempt to lighten the mood, though it didn’t have the same effect, instead making her seem even more worried. “You gonna kill me or something?” It was relieving to hear her finally laugh genuinely at your words and shake her head. “No, no, of course not. I could never.”

Shivers ran down your spine as she slid her hands down your forearm and across your wrist in order to cushion your hand in hers. It was easy to feel the roughness of her palms, scarred with callouses, and yet the way in which she touched your skin felt so tender. “I just wanted to be alone with you where no one could find us.” “Mm, still kind of sounds like you’re gonna kill me.” “Oh, for the love of – I’m not going to kill you,” she laughed again, jokingly swatting your shoulder. “Just relax, okay? No one is getting murdered, I swear.

“I just–” Her attention fell back down to where her hands met yours, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip as she fought for the right words. When nothing came from her, you followed her eyes down to find her thumb caressing the back of your hand. Slowly, almost painfully, she lifted your hand until her lips met your knuckles, sending a jolt of surprise through your veins and instantly bringing the color back to your face. When she lowered your hand and finally looked up at you, there was something in her eyes you couldn’t quite pinpoint. “There are some things I want to make sure you know.”

Too flustered by the unexpected action, you could only nod, wanting her to continue. Her eyes flickered down to the small bit of your skin she had kissed before shifting to the sea. “For starters, I want you to know that I’m glad you were with me those six years. If you hadn’t been there, Tuk Tuk and I probably would’ve taken longer to get around. That, and I wouldn’t have been as warm at night. I know I said I only held you like that on those nights to stay warm, but I’m pretty sure you saw it for what it was.”

She shrugged. “Well, that’s why I suggested sleeping like that at first, but I bet you realized that wasn’t entirely true after a while. I liked being that close to you. I still like being that close to you. I mean, you make me feel safe, and happy, and seen, and I just,” she sighed. Her words couldn’t conceal the fact that her hands had started to tremble. Ever so quietly, your name rolled off her tongue, and you met her eye once you looked back up at her. “I want you to know that I love you. I have for a long time now, but I’ve honestly just been too afraid to tell you. I don’t know if you feel the same way, and I didn’t want to make things awkward between us in case you say no, but I have to get it off my chest.

“It’s okay if you don’t feel the same, but I had to let you know sooner or later.” Had your eyes not already been wide from the new feeling of her fingers tracing over your skin before, they would’ve widened at her confession. “If, by some miracle, you do feel the same, I’ll be entirely yours so long as you’ll promise to be mine.”

You watched almost helplessly as the pads of her fingers caressed where she had kissed your hand, silently hoping to yourself that she would do it again. She regained your attention by repeating your name. “Every future I see for myself, you’re in it. Even though I’ve made you my wife in most of those futures, all I really want is to make sure you know that I appreciate every little thing you do. I love everything about you, inside and out, and all I can hope for – regardless of what your answer is – is that I’ll be able to make you feel as important and loved as you’ve made me feel.”

The sound of the waves hitting the shore below, the distant cries and songs of the birds, the rustling of the leaves as they danced with the steady gusts of winds – all of it fell upon deaf ears as you focused entirely on Raya’s words. You had suspected these feelings from her before, but had always instantly told yourself it was merely just your own feelings blinding you of reality. To hear her admit that what you were hoping for was true made you dizzy.

You gawked at her, mouth agape, and stayed silent. As the seconds passed, the glimmer of anticipation began to dim in her eyes. It seemed your silence had confirmed your answer for you, even though it wasn’t at all what you had wanted to convey. Disappointed, her head lowered and her hands slid away from yours, falling to her lap and picking frantically at each other. Even still, as your brain screamed at you to say something, you couldn’t form the words. The sight of her shoulders trembling and a few drops falling from her eyes finally coerced your mind to work again.

“I’ll be yours.”

For a moment, it didn’t seem like your words registered in her mind at all. You were ready to repeat yourself, assuming she hadn’t heard you, but were stopped by her head lifting in an instant and her eyes meeting yours. “Really?” Your heart fluttered at the shakiness in her voice, and once again your thoughts were reduced into silence, resorting to a nod. It felt like all of the guilt from making her cry before instantly lifted when a smile broke back out onto her lips. Her hands once again reached forward to take yours into her own, and although the sudden motion startled you, you didn’t resist her touch.

“You’ll be mine?”

You beamed, timidly lowering your head with another nod.

“Yes.”

Using the advantage of already having you in her grasp, she pulled you forward as she shifted onto her knees, letting her head move to rest against your shoulder as she held you close. Her hands left yours, one of them grasping at your blouse and the other moving to rest against the nape of your neck. “And I’ll be yours,” she promised, ignoring every part of her that wanted to stay there and instead leaning back to look at you again. “I love you. So, so much. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting to say that to you, and I can’t tell you how happy I am to know that I can tell you that whenever I want without worrying how you’ll react now.”

Your excitement mirrored hers, the smile on your face widening. “I love you, too. More than you could ever know.”

For the countless time that night, she linked your hands with hers, now grasping them firmly as the new sensation of unknown excitement flooded over all of her senses. The space between you fell silent again, though it was comfortable this time. The wonder of whether or not the other woman felt the same was finally relieved after so long, and you were now both content in just sitting together without sharing another word, reveling in the realization that you were officially together.

It took a moment for you to recall her specific choice of words. When it clicked in your head, you raised a brow and smirked to hide how giddy it made you feel, your eyes wandering up to her face again. “So,” you started, instantly catching her attention. “You plan on making me your wife in most of those futures, huh?”

She stiffened as if she had completely forgotten she had admitted those fantasies so bluntly. Still, she couldn’t deny it. “Yeah. I’ve been dreaming of those futures specifically for a while, honestly.” You chuckled, returning her sentiment from earlier and lifting one of her hands to your lips, eagerly peppering each of her knuckles with kisses.

“Well, with time, we can make those dreams a reality.”

“You promise?”

“I promise.”
