#rin should start with the flames next time things get frosty

[tonguetiedraven]

Inspired by your ice nephilim!bon

Bonrin au but Bon accidentally gives Rin frostbite through kissing.

This is sort of what I was originally imagining their first kiss like in the frost au, but I ended up going a different direction with that story. So I've spruced up this cut scene and expanded it a bit. I hope you enjoy! <3

— — — — — — —

“You’re not gonna hurt me,” Rin laughed, brushing his thumb against Bon’s knuckles. “I mean, look at me. I got this!” Rin flared with fire as he spoke. Playful little sparks that danced through his hair before igniting over his entire body in a warm glow.

Bon wanted to believe, and man, he wanted this. He cared for this boy —much too much — and he wanted nothing more than to dart across the space between them and press a long kiss to Rin’s lips. To see how the boy’s lips would feel against his own. Would they be soft? Warm? Rough? He’d read about kisses and knew the words people used to describe them, but he didn’t have any real idea of what that would feel like. Passionate, hungry, soothing, gentle, tender, affectionate, hot, devouring…

What would Rin kiss like?

“You can’t know that.” 

Rin wrinkled his nose and shook his head. “God, you never stop thinkin’, do ya?”

“One of us has to.” 

Rin stuck his tongue out playfully before shuffling closer. “Come on, big guy. I know you want to. It’s not like I’m asking for you to make out yet. We’ll keep our mouths closed. Just a peck. Please?”

Bon could feel himself blushing, and somehow that was almost as irritating as the chill in his chest and the nettle of Rin’s words.

“A peck is all it would take.”

“Then I’d already be kinda screwed by this.” Rin raised their joined hands and wiggled his eyebrows. “But lookie! No ice.”

Bon blew out a frustrated breath and Rin’s expression crumpled. 

“You know, if it’s the me of the thing, I—”

“You know it’s not that.” Bon dropped his gaze to their joined hands. “I don’t want to hurt you.” 

“It’s fine if you do.” Rin’s hand came up to cup the curve of his jaw. “I’ll heal and we’ll figure it out. Just like we figured it out when I kept stabbing you with my nails.”

The tight, worried thing in Bon’s chest eased slightly. “Those things are claws, not nails,” he teased, tilting his head into Rin’s hand as he did. A sharp nail brushed over his cheek, teasing at his facial hair before coaxing him a little closer.

“Nails, claws, talons, whatever. Can I kiss ya now?”

Bon stared into his blue eyes, eyes he loved in a boy he trusted. A boy he often trusted more than himself. Closing his own eyes, he nodded and squeezed Rin’s hand.

“Yeah, you can kiss me now.”

The thump-thump-thump of Rin’s tail was the only real sound in the room. That and Rin’s sharp inhale. Neither was loud enough to drown out the thundering of Bon’s heart.

His racing, excited, terrified heart. He kept his eyes closed, focusing only on keeping control of the strange power within himself. He would hold onto the ice and he would not harm the boy he loved. Rin would give him his first kiss, and it would be okay.

Rin’s hand shifted on his cheek, Bon tensed every muscle in his body, he felt the bed shift, a brush of breath against his lip, and then…

Then the gentlest of pressures. A warm touch, hardly more than a tickle, and then a slight shift and Rin’s lips were fitted against his. The pressure increased, just enough to feel it, not enough to overwhelm or push him back, and there was another puff of air against his cheek. A warm little burst that had his heart fluttering in its thunder.

It was over almost as quickly as it started, and Bon had a few answers for how Rin kissed. He spent a moment longer like that, with his eyes shut and his heart feeling a bit too full, before he opened his eyes and found his boyfriend smirking a few inches away. He’d be annoyed by that self-satisfaction if it wasn’t for how pink Rin’s cheeks were and how the flames in his eyes were flaring with their own emotion.

“See?” Rin asked, eyes burning all the brighter. “We’re all cool.”

“Ha-ha.”

Rin’s tail thumped against the bed and he shuffled a little closer. “Wanna try it again?”

Bon did, more than he’d like to admit, so he nodded. 

Rin, with a toothy grin, surged forward. Their lips pressed together, harder than they had last time, and Rin’s hand shifted up to fist his hair, holding him close as the kiss got messier. Ryuuji tried moving this time, and Rin was already moving, and it was entirely different and endlessly fantastic. 

Rin shifted up, moving in closer and capturing Bon’s bottom lip between his. He sucked on it a little, making Bon’s breath freeze in his lungs and his hands move to hold Rin’s elbow and hip, urging him closer as he tried to mimic the movements. 

Rin pressed closer, holding him, cupping his cheeks, kissing and kissing and kissing him until Bon was entirely breathless and wasn’t thinking about anything but getting more of it all. 

Not thinking about controlling himself, or about the ice rising in his chest and limbs. Just how it felt to be kissing Rin and the surge of emotions rising within Bon.

Rin was holding his face with both hands, and that was what did it. Feeling entirely held and wanted, Bon lost control for a moment, and a moment was all it took. 

Rin gasped, couldn’t pull away because ice froze, and then, with a blur of blue, he was sitting back and covering his mouth.

“Rin?!” The word fell from his lips in a frosty cloud, and that was all the proof he needed. He’d hurt him. He’d hurt Rin.

Bon scrambled backwards and off the bed as Rin prodded gently at his own lip and blinked in a stunned sort of way.

“Hey—” Rin shot after him. “Where do ya think you’re going?! Get back here!”

Bon froze a few feet away. He hadn’t intended to run — he didn’t run as a rule, even when it was all he wanted to do—but he had fully intended on getting back and giving Rin space. Rin who had every right to be furious. 

“Don’t heat it too quick.” His voice was tight in worry. “You’ll hurt yourself worse. Just—fuck, I’m so sorry.”

Rin’s swollen lip was already shrinking back to normal. The blackened and frozen skin was turning pink and healthy. Healing before Bon’s eyes.

“I’m fine, babe. Promise.” Rin took a step towards Bon with his hands raised. Moving like he was trying to calm a spooked animal instead of someone who was deadly and cold.

“I’m sorry,” he said again, and then again. “I’m so sorry.”

“Shh,” 

“I’m so sorry.”

Rin got closer, Bon had backed into a wall, and caught his arms. “Hey, shh. I’m serious. You’re fine, Ryuuji. I’m fine. Promise.” 

His lip looked okay, but Bon couldn’t believe it was that easy. He knew how much that hurt when it happened to him. 

“I told you I’d heal if anything happened. That was my fault. I shoulda kept it easy like you said.” He reached forward and carefully took Bon’s hand, His sharp nails scratched against Bon’s hand, no longer hurting like they once had. 

Rin smiled as Bon sucked in a breath. 

“Guess I underestimated how good you’d be at that.” He swayed closer, not touching, not yet, and leaving Bon’s right side open if he wanted to escape. “Got kinda carried away.” 

“You’re okay?” Bon asked, dropping his gaze to the floor and squeezing Rin’s hand tight. There was cold dread in his chest, but he had the ice on complete lock down. He was barely breathing, but the ice wasn’t getting out. 

“I’m good. Gonna wanna do a lot more of that though. Not the ice part, but I’m not opposed to things getting a little frosty.”

“Rin, I hurt you.”

Rin blew out a breath. “Man, I get it now. It’s annoying on this side.”

Bon risked a glance up. Rin was staring up at him with an amused smile and gave his head a little shake. “Huh?”

“Trying to convince someone they’re not scary. I get why you’re always so annoyed about it now.” Rin brought their joined hands up to his lips and pressed a kiss to Bon’s knuckles.

“You never hurt me.”

“Sure I have. I already talked about the claws. I’ve gone too hard in training too. I’ve bruised and scratched you.”

“I gave you frostbite.”

Rin shrugged. “Tomato potato.” 

“Tomato tomato, or potato potato.”

“No subject changing.”

He could feel the tension in his chest easing even though he didn’t want it to. Rin just did that to him. Rin pulled the panic away and made it hard not to trust.

“Then get it right, dork.” 

Rin grinned. “What was it you said to me? Practice makes perfect?”

“Rin, no, this is—”

“Don’t tell me no because you’re scared of hurting me. If you don’t want to ‘cause you don’t want to, that’s okay. But not because of that.” 

Bon dropped his gaze again and swallowed. He hated Rin throwing his own words back at him. Rin didn’t typically make good arguments. Bon did. 

But also…

Bon wanted this with Rin. He didn’t run away, even when he was scared, and that really only left him one option. 

“I want to. I just… I don’t know if I’ll be able to without hurting you.”

Rin made a thoughtful noise. “Then let’s try it a different way.” He stepped back and pulled Bon with him. Rin didn’t stop until they were back at the bed. He pushed Bon down and sat next to him, still holding his hand, and not going in for a kiss just yet. 

“Try it a different way?”

Rin’s smile was enormous as his entire body once again lit with a layer of fire. They brushed over Bon’s hand without burning, a pleasant kind of warmth. A layer of heat that covered everything, even Rin’s lips.

“That might actually work.”

“I’m just super smart like that.” Rin laughed, tugging on Bon’s head until they were a breath away. 

“Just make—”

“Yeah, I’ll stop ya. Now please kiss me, big guy.”

Holding his breath and saying a quick prayer, Bon did. This time, if there was any ice, the flames melted them.

The Great War Christmas Special

D&D 5e Campaign

The Great War

Christmas One Off

Wade pops in and pulls everyone including Maw through a portal and  lays them still asleep onto a ship. Wade himself falls asleep and is then grabbed up by The Red Queen. Upon waking up the party tries to look outside at their surroundings and the port holes are all frosted over. Angra opens the door, feels the frigid cold rush in and decides nope and closes it back. Ara heats up her hand to gently defrost one and look out of it. JJJ not used to his new breath weapon accidentally melts the window he tries to defrost and Tinkerman quickly repairs it. Tinkerman uses his monocle to look for anything magical nearby and is blinded by a bright light coming from a town off in the distance. Tinkerman quickly distributes some warmer clothing to help fight against the frigid climate outside and the party sets out towards the town.  

As they begin walking the snow under JJJ’s feet melts and Thefa’s aura provides a 15 foot radius bubble of protection from the harsh cold environment. Once in the town, the party is greeted by mysterious forgotten puppets, many of which  appeared broken or old, others looked just plain creepy. A couple of the party members gathered the courage to ask the toys a few questions to which the response was always the same, go see the red queen followed by a pointing in a direction. Finally the party gets to the building that the red queen is said to be in. The party was escorted to a dinner table where a big feast awaited them.  There was room for all of them and at the head of the table, there was a chair facing away. Then the chair suddenly turned. The party had been expecting the red queen, instead they got Wade in a dress. The party is shocked to see him say, Wade? As Tinkerman takes a shot in Wade’s general direction with his finger gun.

“Yes yes, I know I know, I should have gone with the black dress, no one wears white these days.” The amazingly funny Wade jokes as the entire party facepalm except for Rooklus who chuckles and responds, “Nonsense the white really brings out your eyes.” Wade retorts, and that is why you are my favorite big guy. Anywho lets get on with why apparently you are all here. The real red queen who for security reasons is now feeding me lines in an earpiece, has a quest for you guys. It would seem a threatening menace has taken residence up at the peek of this mountain behind us. It is he who shall not be named.” Wade then pauses and whispers “Krampus” and all the toys start screaming. “Anyway he has disrupted things here and we no longer have a way for these toys to find new homes. So I need you guys to go and fix it. Save Santa so things can return to normal around here. For a reward I will give you guys 2 trillion plat and free choice of the toys here to have sex with. Just a warning: the pinocchio one over in the corner is already slightly used by yours truly.” Wade motions over at pinocchio to call him and winks then looks back at the party as he pulls out a sack from behind him that is glowing inside and he starts pulling out stuff, first a stuffed bear, then an inflatable blow up doll, then a dildo, then finally he pulls out a bag of climbing gear for the party, the gear consists of metal claws to put in their hands and feet. “There. This should help you guys get up that mountain, now off with you. I have queen things to get done.” Wade says as snaps his fingers like a drag queen diva  and shoos the party off.

The party makes their way up the mountain when half way up they come across what looks to be some type of toy shop. The group enters to investigate and find a very strange race of elves. Unlike the tall pretty ones they are used to seeing they see a bunch of short ones that look like the love child of a dwarf and an elf. All of them keep singing “... Christmas is coming, gotta build toys, Christmas is coming, gotta make them for the girls and boys…”  The party sees them making motions with their hands as if they were making toys however they had nothing in front of them. There were broken and dismantled toys all over the workshop. The party then sees the head elf walk into the room and he asks who they are and why they are there. The party explains everything to him and proceeds to ask what's wrong with these little guys. He explains that they’ve gone a bit bonkers. Their sole purpose in life is to make toys and ever sense Santa disappeared and Krampus showed up... the elves interrupt screaming “KRAMPUS!!”... yeah, as you can see they aren’t right in the head anymore. Wade picks up a broken toy and sits it in front of one of the elves and they start fixing it as you see a small tear drop fall from its eye. Rin then walks up to the group of them and kneels down to their level. “Don’t worry guys I have a job for all of you. A very important one, I need you guys to get these toys made. You see we are here to kick you know who in the face and save Santa. We also just happen to know some children in some orphanages who could really use these toys because they don’t have anything else. So cheer up because there is work to be done, Christmas is coming.” Suddenly all the elves start smiling as tears of joy run down their face and they run around grabbing toy parts and putting toys together again. Thefa and Ara go outside with JJJ and start melting away a path while the rest of the party continues to look around the toyshop.

The rest of the party manages to find Santa’s sleigh however it needs some repairing done. Tinkerman sees that he can fix it and starts working on it. He then uses the messenger rings to tell the ones outside they can stop and come in, they found a faster better way up the mountain. Ara replies she will be in shortly, she is having fun. JJJ goes back inside with the others. Thefa stands watch over Ara while Ara calls on her inner artist to doodle in the snow using her fire as a pen. Once the sleigh is ready to go Tinkerman tells Ara to come on its ready. Ara and Thefa come instead and hop into the sleigh as the roof above them opens up. As the party hovers out of the building to fly up the mountain Ara tells everyone to look down. Below them are two drawings, one of a penis and balls, the other of a pair of boobs complete with nipples.

Once at the top of the mountain they land to the side and follow a path. On said path a bunch of snowmen warriors appear.  They use a spell that makes us all see the person we want to hurt the least. For Wade this is Lady Death. Upon taking the form of Lady Death it burst into flames and Wade heard her say, “No one shall take on my appearance my love.” Angra saw Bontu although he knew right away that Bontu would not appear here as he never leaves the country he is deity over.  Ara quickly puts an end to things using her fire and the party moves on to Krampus’s lair. The party quickly took out all of the snowman warriors with fireballs leaving only the giant snowman warrior. After a few more attacks the party quickly knocks Krampus down Krampus. Now the semi-melted snowman ate Krampus and burst into flames becoming transparent and jello like on the inside revealing Santa inside and slowly boiling to death. Tinkerman with some quick thinking shot the hat off the giant snowman warrior causing it to collapse into a puddle saving Santa and a stone fell down next to Santa.  Wade picks up the stone and he slowly starts turning into Krampus starting with his arm. Wade quickly chops off his arm to stop the transformation. Tinkerman asked what happened, Santa says the Red Queen had told him she was going to send him a gift and he looks at the stone and says “It is the Krampus stone.” He then realizes what happened and says “That bitch!” Tinkerman then picked up the stone with pliers, put it into a container and put it away.

Rin and Tinkerman quickly heal Santa. Santa now healed is still a bit croggy; he had been inside that snowman for a long time. Ara knew exactly what to do to make him feel better thanks to something Wade had taught her. Ara began to give Santa a lap dance as he sat on his sleigh while singing Santa Baby. Santa escorts Ara to the back of his sleigh and a small cabin appeared and sounds of moaning could be heard outside with lots of “ho ho hooo yeah.” Wade sticks his hand in and says what about me? Ara says later and keeps earning her christmas present. Rooklus pats Wade on the shoulder and says, “Let her enjoy the ‘yule log’ plus it sounds like Santa is enjoying it.” Santa sticks his head out once they are almost back to the Red Queen's castle tells them to make a couple more laps around the mountain and goes back to enjoying his christmas present.

Once they finally land Santa staggers out smiling. Santa shrinks the sleigh that Krampus had been using down to the size of the toy and tossed it to Tinkerman. Merry Christmas son, you’ve been a very good boy this year. He then sees Angra, “I see you like that hat that was on top of Frosty the Murder Hobo, keep it it’s yours. Merry Christmas!” They go inside to see Wade “The Red Queen.” Once there he grabs his magical bag and tosses everyone in the party a special present. Wade then drops 3 chests filled with plat. Then the real red queen shows up and rips the dress off Wade. Wade questioned what's wrong, she told him to give them a reward. She informs him no, she said to offer them a reward. She never said anything about giving it to them. She then threw wade into a chest and shoved him through a portal and the rest of the party was sucked in behind him. As they were being sucked out they heard Santa call her a bitch and start telling her to get the hell out of his castle.  The party lands in a park and the chest smashes to pieces and everyone stands up confused seeing all the tall sky touching buildings. Wade looks around and says “Omg, finally after a year and a half of portal jumping I’m home! I’m in Central Park!”
