A = Affection(How affectionate are they with a s/o?) (For the ROs)

Ok, here we go, I know you all deserve more insight AND background on the ROs, so I decided to answer this question while adding a bit more flavour to the overall interaction and hope that's fine with y'all. I picked the MC as their s/o to make it more approachable. Oh, and ...some delicate unspoilery spoilers for moments which you might or might not encounter on your journey. Read at own risk... (btw. long ass text ahead, don‘t forget to drink in between 😉)

The Heir The heir, who has known you for so long, is yet seeking to learn more about you every day, wishing for an intimate understanding of your being – the intricacies that make you unique, the nuances of your being, the light and the shadow that dance within you. They know how to trigger you and take delight in teasing you, be it through playful words or mischievous actions. Each reaction you offer them is treasured, for it is a gift that reveals another layer of you. Though they ensure that their playful teasing and jesting never crosses your boundaries, seeking only to witness the hues that color your cheeks or stir the dormant fire within. 

In their eyes, you are the anchor in their life, reminding them that they are more than just the weight of their royal responsibilities. Together, you venture beyond the confines of their obligations, embarking on small escapades and whimsical adventures that would make you shake your head in amusement - had they only given you a fair warning beforehand. Although they may not always forewarn you, there is a shared delight in the unexpected, a secret bond that strengthens your connection. Further, whenever they lead you into a situation that seems beyond your control, they are quick to find an exit strategy, minimizing any potential damage - well, most of the time.

And, of course, they always make it up to you in their own unique way. What is your favorite way for them to make amends? Sneaking into a theater show you could never have accessed otherwise? Sharing a secret meal atop the palace roof, indulging in exotic dishes you never knew existed? Or perhaps, daring to experience and intimately share your first moments together? They have dreamt of such intimate encounters for far longer than you can imagine, though they hesitated to make you blush - or themselves, for that matter.

They envision a future with you, one that may not conform to the traditional expectations dictated by their royal status. Running away with you sounds like an adventure worth pursuing, or perhaps, when the time comes for their reign, they might even dare to dismantle the entire system. Oh, the wonderful dreams they share with you of a future where anything is possible, especially with someone as extraordinary as you. They yearn for you to see your uniqueness, making it their mission to eventually help you recognize your own special qualities. The Commander

First off it has to be said, that if anybody wishes to earn even a fraction of affection from them, they must tread a treacherous path filled with pain, vulnerability, sacrifice and be open to the need for immense understanding and forgiveness. And even then there is no guarantee, the taste of their affection remains uncertain, and any glimpse of tenderness must be cherished as a precious gift. However, do not be deceived by naivety, for these displays are not your typical gestures. Only by reading between the lines can you discern them.

The Commander is burdened with an unwavering belief that they cannot afford to show weakness. Kindness and emotions, in their eyes, are synonymous with vulnerability - an attribute they have been taught to despise since a young age. Their unbroken pursuit of connection and affection has been relentlessly scorched by their father, fueling a deep self-loathing and a penchant for inflicting harm upon others - and themselves. This unyielding facade is rarely shattered, appearing almost imperceptible. 

When they desperately yearn to reach out, their attempts manifest in destructive ways – adding a scar upon your body as a reminder of hostile emotions you both shared, a conversation revolving around violent battles as a means to forge a bond born from struggle. Fragments of vulnerability are concealed within these hidden moments of fragile tension. Threats combined with insults become their twisted method of conveying that you have affected them, although they resent you for evoking such emotions. Amidst this darkness, they secretly observe you, their heart breaking as they witness the smile you share with others - a smile they yearn for but will never allow themselves to receive. As a consequence seeing no other way than punishing themselves for this. Yet, in moments of anger, when a mission fails and their father's wrath descends upon them without hesitation, their mind drifts to you. They contemplate your every movement - the way you walk, the way you tilt your head, the appearance of your hands and fingers as they interact with objects, the subtle furrowing of your eyebrows when once gain cruelty taints their words, the parting of your lips when they catch you off guard with a sharp retort. These conflicting emotions baffle and unnerve them. As a result, all you glimpse are the cracks in their façade. When their attacks truly wound you, for a fleeting moment, their eyes widen, their breath catches, and their hand reaches out before abruptly retracting, leaving you to question if your eyes deceived you.

But is there more to be revealed? More to be felt? That remains a mystery you must unravel. You must decide if you truly desire to venture further into their complex world, for the journey ahead is rife with darkness, conflicting emotions, and the delicate dance between pain and the possibility of something deeper.

The Sovereign

The bond you share with the Sovereign is unlike any other you have experienced before. It transcends mere companionship, reaching deep into the realm of intellect and philosophy. Engaging in profound conversations, they stimulate your mind, revealing that they hold you in high regard and value your unique perspective. They challenge your true intentions and encourage you to reevaluate your entire existence. Attentively, they listen to your stories, motivations, and opinions on leadership, appreciating your worldview and enriching your connection.

This profound bond allows them to surprise you with gifts that are catalysts for your personal development. Ancient scripts filled with knowledge that you never dared to explore before are entrusted to your care, guiding you along the path you seek. A meticulously crafted, one-of-a-kind weapon, carrying within it a potent power that can only be harnessed by you. Its purpose is to aid you in achieving your goals and unlocking your true potential. These gifts reflect their admiration for you and their belief in your capabilities.

Putting the intellectual connection aside, they revel in the delight of forging physical bonds of affection. They entice you into a world of pleasures you had never fathomed, be it in their exclusive company or alongside their trusted intimate companions. Possessiveness is inherent to their nature, yet their control over the situation should not bother you, as they ensure that the outcome is tailored to your utmost satisfaction. They may selectively choose to share their affections, as long as they retain authority over the selection process.

Perhaps, in rare instances, they may relinquish a fraction of control, allowing you to hold a semblance of power. However, this remains an uncertain prospect, as their dominance and need for control is deeply ingrained. Nevertheless, who knows what your own magical touch is capable of achieving? To fully explore the spectrum of their affections, you must delve into the very essence of their being, both mentally and physically or you will be forgotten just as quickly as just one of their other toys, maybe casting a slightly larger smirk on their lips if you managed to surprise them in bed. The Mage

The Mage's love for you is all-encompassing, making you the center of their world. They constantly think of you, and everything around them reminds them of your presence. Each encounter and discovery is evaluated in relation to you - would it bring you joy, cause concern, or align with your desires and needs?  They cherish moments you shared or things you mentioned. Whenever they come across something that they believe would bring a smile to your face, they make it their mission to obtain it for you, using their magical charm to ensure success. And once they have it, they can't wait to give it to you. They become excited, like a child, eagerly awaiting your reaction. They have to find a balance between worrying about your well-being and abusing their ability to understand people's intentions. They don't want to be overbearing or suffocate you, but they desperately want to show you that you deserve the best and to make you happy.

Whenever they notice even the slightest sign of need or any kind of discomfort, they want to shower you with attention and affection. They try to gauge your needs and make their actions more or less obvious, depending on what you require. They may gently touch your shoulder when you're feeling down during troubling times, carefully take your hand to get your attention during a vision – unfreezing you, or kiss your sleeve to comfort you when all you desperately need is to connect to the here and now again. They pull you close when you have trouble falling asleep after a nightmare, and listen attentively to the details of the dreams you recount. They create moments of happiness by planning surprises that express their deep affection for you. They write cute poems inspired by you, some of which become part of rituals you share. They are sweet and loving in their presence. But if a situation arises that requires it, they defend you with all the force and fury of a thunderstorm. They have studied you closely, allowing them to know you well, but they might not always succeed on holding back, ending up in being a bit too much.

The Mercenary

For the mercenary, their affection towards you becomes a constant battle between their irresistible attraction and their inclination to deny it. This inner conflict shapes their gestures of affection, which are carefully veiled and nuanced to avoid revealing their true intentions. They tread cautiously in your presence, always ensuring their watchful gaze remains discreet, unwilling to face your confrontation about their thoughts or desires. Preferring the safety of denial, they frequently frown upon themselves for being bothered by thoughts of you, growing frustrated when you do something they perceive as foolish or perilous.

Any demonstration of affection is executed with utmost care, often accompanied by sarcasm or hostility. Despite their gruff exterior, the mercenary harbors a tender side that occasionally breaks through their guarded demeanor. Beneath their sarcastic and hostile facade, they find moments of kindness to bestow upon you. For instance, they observe you smiling upon discovering a book at the bazaar that you couldn't afford. Secretly, they acquire it for you - just don‘t ask how, surreptitiously placing it within your belongings when your attention is elsewhere. However, they refuse to admit their role in procuring the book. Similarly, if they witness you sustaining a significant blow in your sparring session, they hurl insults at your perceived weakness, advising you to practice further with the wooden dummy. Yet, beneath their scornful facade, they cautiously approach, reluctantly checking if you are genuinely hurt, their concern mingling with their aversion to physical contact. Ultimately, they grasp you with less-than-gentle force to alleviate the tension causing pain in your shoulder, all the while continuing to mock your performance.

Moreover, the mercenary surprises you with acts of kindness that reflect their understanding of your desires and experiences. Sensing your nostalgia for a cherished memory or a place of significance, they deliberately engineer seemingly coincidental encounters, allowing you to relive those moments of joy and contentment. These orchestrated happenings, carefully planned behind their tough exterior, serve as a testament to their thoughtfulness and consideration for your happiness.

When it comes to your safety, they act without hesitation. Alert and ever watchful, their hostility flares towards anyone who dares cast more than a passing glance in your direction. Their hand instinctively finds the hilt of their daggers, lips curled into a snarl as a warning to all potential threats. In the enigmatic existence of the mercenary, affection is a paradoxical dance between conflicting emotions and guarded actions. Though they mask their feelings behind layers of indifference, their protective instincts and clandestine acts of kindness reveal the depth of their attachment to you. The Knight

The Knight's signs of affection radiate warmth, tenderness, and an unwavering commitment to your well-being. Though they may not speak openly of their emotions, their actions speak volumes about their deep care for you. Having opened their heart once again after such a long time, they cherish this connection and are determined to nurture it in every way possible.

Their caring gestures encompass both the small and more significant aspects of your life. They willingly take on tasks and responsibilities that alleviate your burdens, may it be planning the next steps of your journey or even helping with smaller tasks that seem to annoy you on a regular basis. So for example, observing how you pack your belongings, fuming pnce again at the chaos, they step in to lend a helping hand, ensuring your comfort and ease. 

Their concern for your well-being extends to equipping you with the necessary skills to protect yourself. They take it upon themselves to teach you the art of self-defense, guiding you through the most effective parts of fighting techniques. Patiently, they train by your side, helping you develop strength, agility, and the confidence to face any challenges that may come your way. With each practice session, they instill in you a sense of empowerment, ensuring that you can protect yourself and stand tall in the face of adversity.

Beyond their protective role, they weave moments of romance into your shared journey. They delight in the simple yet beautiful experiences around you - a street musician's melody, a breathtaking view - and eagerly share these moments with you. Tenderly reaching for your hand, they create a connection that speaks volumes about their affection. In these stolen moments, you both find respite from the world, wrapped in the warmth of each other's presence. Through sweet surprises, they bring your favorite fruits or introduce you to new delights, always seeking to bring joy into your days. Their attentive listening and genuine interest create a safe space for you to share your stories and experiences, knowing that being heard and understood is a precious gift. They aim to enrich your life, focussing on the fact that a relationship holds value when it enhances your experiences in ways that surpass what you could achieve alone.

Signs of Affection (8258 words) by KittyCargo Rating: General Audiences

muggle AU, modern AU, sign language teacher/student AU Summary: “Hello, everyone! My name is-” the professor did something quick with his fingers and the interpreter paused for just a moment before continuing, “-Remus Lupin. I’ll be your teacher for ASL I." When Sirius learns that he'll have a Deaf student in his class next year, he takes an ASL I summer course at his local community college. He didn't expect the professor to be so attractive though.

Comment: This was such a lovely and sweet fic, I love the premise of Sirius as a teacher learning sign language because he has a deaf student in his class, I love Remus as an ASL teacher and how they slowly get to know each other, and I love how well this fic captures the context and atmosphere of deaf culture!

I'm so happy that a shojo manga is being an anime! I don't know but I was missing seeing shojo anime, new shojo anime in the season lists...

Obviously I support that they let go the gender lablings that already happened in the gaming and in the western animation but mostly because of the bias related to the things directed to a female audience and not for other reason because I always watched anime and readed manga even that was shounen... Is just female directed things are always treated like trash and normally are even made with more care and love that the normal... I just see more and more how sad that bias makes the world even more now that I'm studying marketing... Well in marketing the gender labeling is mostly for orientation and not something like an barrier but society is the one that build that barrier and is sad... Just sad...

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

thinking about itsuomi….

MINORS AND AGELESS BLOGS DNI

you wrapped your legs tighter around Itsuomi’s waist, trying to resist the urge to roll your hips against his crotch as he kissed you, his hands grabbing the sides of your waist, squeezing your skin tighter every so often.

his body felt so hot against yours, making your skin burn even hotter with desire. he kissed you slowly, passionately, making you really feel every inch of his lips against yours. your chest touched his every time you inhaled, trying to keep your breaths quiet and devoid of whimpers that so desperately wanted to escape.

you hadn’t noticed, too consumed in focusing on the silver haired man’s lips, but you had been squirming against him for a while now, too aroused and overwhelmed with how good this all felt. itsuomi pulled back from your lips, his lidded eyes taking over your face, your lips parted and swollen from the kiss, eyes cloudy, as you looked at him patiently, waiting for his next move.

“do you want to stop?” he asked, his voice coming out soft as he tipped his head at you. you felt your face heat up, never having had someone be so gentle with you before. you shook your head, squeezing your legs around his to emphasize your words.

“okay,” he responded, a barely there smile cracking the corner of his lips before he leaned his face back down. you expected to feel his lips on yours again, but you were instead met with the plushness of his lips on your neck, softly kissing right over your pulse point.

you were unable to hold back the gasp that left your lips, your hand immediately coming up to press against your mouth, a preventative measure to make sure no more embarrassing sounds left your lips. itsuomi pulled back for a moment, his lips just grazing your skin before he spoke, “You don’t have to hold back your voice, same goes for your hips.” he said, exposing you.

you felt a rush of heat burn your face, making you tip your head in the direction opposite from him. “I want to make you feel good, if you need to move, move. I’ll do it with you if you’re too shy, okay?” he said sweetly, pressing another kiss to your pulse point.

Itsuomi watched from the crook of your neck as your eyebrows pinched together before you nodded shyly, your hand pulling back from your mouth, slowly dropping back down onto his shoulder.

you allowed yourself to relax against him when you felt his kisses on your neck turn to sucks, his warm, wet tongue caressing your skin between his lips. you were met with the shallow, slow thrust of his hips against yours, making you gasp again, a sound you tried not to feel too embarrassed about since Itsuomi had told you to let go.

he experimentally thrust against you again, a bit harder this time, making you suck a breath in between your teeth. “feels good?” he whispered between sucks against your neck. “mhm..” you responded quietly, feeling that same familiar throbbing intensify between your thighs.

itsuomi picked up his pace a bit, finding a rhythm as he rutted his hips against yours. you could feel something prominent and hard pressing right against your cunt, making you feel dizzy. you knew what that feeling was. just knowing Itsuomi was as aroused as you were was driving you crazy.

“move your hips back against me, you can do it.” he encouraged, one of his hands sliding down your waist and landing on your hip. his fingers curled behind your lower back as he pulled your hips against him, helping you out.

he released a breathy moan against your neck when you gave in and let yourself move against him, humping your cunt on his crotch when he rubbed himself into you. “just like that.” he praised, picking his head up from the crook of your neck.

you looked like you were being fucked for real, your jaw open as whimpers steadily fell out as his hard boner rubbed against your clothed clit, eyes fluttering in your head, eyebrows scrunched together.

you hummed against his lips when he connected them once more, the kiss a little needier now as he pulled your leg over his hip, making you wrap your legs around his back. you felt yourself gush when his tongue poked against your lips, asking for permission. you opened them more against him, letting his warm tongue enter your mouth and tangle with yours.

breathy moans were being pushed out of your mouth and into his by his hips rutting against you, his cock straining in his pants against you making you feel hotter and hotter with each thrust. you did your best to move your tongue with his, but his quickly overpowered yours as he explored every inch of your mouth.

you cracked your eyes open and noticed how red his face looked, even being so close to yours. his eyebrows were pinched together slightly, twitching every so often when he thrust against you, making his cock rub against the inside of his boxers just right.

Itsuomi swore he could feel how hot you were between your thighs through all the layers of fabric. he wanted so badly to just pull down your panties and stretch you open on his fingers while he sucked your clit into his mouth, but he knew he had to be patient.

Itsuomi was shocked out of his little daydream when your body tightened around him, your hips wiggling more and more, begging for friction against your clit. were you close? just from a little dry humping? Itsuomi pressed himself against you and rolled his hips in circles, making his bulge rub your clit around through your clothes, just like he would do with his fingers.

your lips started to slow against his as kissing him back proved to be harder and harder the closer you got to finishing. you tapped repeatedly on his shoulder, trying to get him to let up a bit so you didn’t cum in your pants.

“it’s okay, you’re gonna cum aren’t you?” he asked between kisses, not slowing his hips once even as he spoke. “you can cum, i got you.” he whispered, making you head feel fuzzy and warm. you wrapped your arms around his shoulders tighter, bracing yourself.

itsuomi wasn’t quite there yet, but he was alright with edging himself if it meant he got to watch you cum. there would be plenty of times in the future he would be able to cum, he wasn’t greedy.

he watched in awe with a slightly opened mouth as your lips detached from his, your eyes fully falling shut, squeezing together tightly. “there you go, good girl.” he whispered as your body shook against his, your abdomen curling into him as your orgasm hit you.

it felt so fucking good as he worked you through it with his hips, rubbing you just the way you needed with his boner. your gasps and cries as you came were like music to his ears, he could feel himself drip pre cum into his boxers just from listening to you.

when you came down he immediately started pressing kisses to your hot cheeks, his hands brushing the stray hairs from your face. “good job, felt good right?” he asked, smiling at you with that usual smirk of his. you nodded, still a little out of it as you looked away, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.

“heh, i know. promise i’ll make you feel that again. over and over, as many times as you want.” he said, his words making your face burn furiously. you nodded and pushed his shoulders away, trying to hide. itsuomi giggled and separated his body from yours, sitting on the side of the bed as he played with your inner thigh.

“cmon, gotta get you cleaned up. i’ll run you a bath.” he said, his head tipping in the direction of the bathroom. you furrowed your eyebrows, looking down at the very obvious boner in his pants. itsuomi caught your gaze and pulled his t-shirt down over his cock, doing little to conceal it. “don’t worry about me, it’ll go down on its own.”

you felt bad he didn’t get to cum, but he seemed adamant in his words. next time, you would be sure to make him cum too. you nodded and let him scoop you into his arms as he walked you to the bathroom.

itsuomi wasn’t worried in the slightest about his little problem. he already planned to take care of it in his room while you soaked in the bath anyways, using the image of you orgasming on him as material to jerk off. the scene replaying over and over in his head on repeat.

These hands that hold me, those eyes that gaze upon me… will see yet another new, uncharted world. I don’t want you to think I only see what’s around me, so I won’t say it to you, but I’ve even fallen in love with looking up at your face like this. Every expression you show me drenches me in a shower of light. On this day, February 21st, our worlds came together as one.
