—————

The little digital watch on your wrist beeped on the hour: 10PM. You carried with you a battery-powered mosquito lamp, a bag of nacho chips, and a jar of salsa. Your destination, barely a hundred meters from the door of your house, was a quaint playground in the roundabout-cum-cul-de-sac in your village.

To be more specific, your destination was Naoi Rei, seated on a big, decorative rock near the edge of the playground.

"You're late," she pouted.

"By less than a minute, hello?," you rebutted, setting the mosquito lamp right by her legs. In shorts, she needed it more than you.

"Hmph," she pouted harder.

"Don't fret now," you said, as you reached out to grab her shoulder, which she grumpily pulled away from you with a huff.

You clicked your tongue. "Alright, guess I'll just have to eat these nachos alone," you muttered, emphasizing the last word. In a snap, Rei moved a bit to the side to give you space.

"Apology accepted," she rolled her eyes.

As neighbors for the majority of your life, Rei had always been like this with you; this meeting spot was hallowed ground for your friendship, and talking time like this an inviolable agreement. Even when you both went to different colleges, got jobs, or experienced any manner of trouble in the dead of night, the rock remained the rendezvous point.

"Lemme guess," she said, forcefully grabbing the bag of nachos from your hands, "Sooyoung." You sat down, opened the jar with held breath, and took a loud sigh.

Tonight's agenda, as it had been maybe 3 or 4 times now: Sooyoung, a girl you met at work. Well, "met at work" is a loose description, considering you "met" for the first time when she asked you about chips at "work," in the convenience store nearby.

"Usual opening question," Rei asked, a mouth full of nachos. "You still wanna do this?"

"I'm not wasting any effort, okay?," you rebutted. "It's not over 'til she says it's over."

You've been trying to woo Sooyoung for nearly a year now. Successes include a meaningful chat over coffee, a fairly uninteresting movie where you held hands, and a less-than-stellar bar crawl.

"Okay," Rei said with a groan. "Here's a thought: offer to go with her clothes shopping?"

"Clothes shopping?," you remarked. "I mean, doesn't that come off... weird?"

"You're literally the only person I know who'd say that," she replied. "Unless you wanna stare at her tits in the dressing room like a perv, no, it's not weird."

"Bruh, what the fuck?," you reacted. "No, I meant it'd be weird to buy her clothes."

"Again, you're literally the only person who'd say that," she replied. "Women would never pass up an opportunity to get more stuff for their wardrobe."

You grumbled as you sat on the rock, back against Rei. This rock used to be big enough for the two of you; now both of you were more leaning on to it and using each other as ample support.

"It's not that, it's... she's not reciprocating, and I would be offering to give something material. Out of my own pocket. That's a waste of effort." You scratched your head, irritated.

"Well, you're not wrong there, though I'm pretty sure you've spent on her more than once," Rei said with a mouth full of nachos, still holding the bag hostage. "I mean, let's look at it now: you've taken her to the movies, you've had a café date, you've gone drinking without sex..."

"Rei," you groaned, remarking at the aside.

"You've offered hiking which didn't materialize, you offered a blackbox theatre date... That's as much as anything you can offer in this boring ass town, and you spent on those too," she continued.

You slicked your hair back in frustration. "I just wish I could get a clearer sign with her, you know?," you added. "That's it. I want to know if I should even...," you trailed off.

Rei let out another exasperated sigh. "Dude, obviously you don't want to stop chasing after her, so why wait for a sign? You could always just read into it that she's waiting for you to do the right gesture. Or offer the right date. If she's intentionally playing hard-to-get, play harder."

"That's why I need you here," you replied. "I have no idea what that would be or how else."

"So quit your bitching and just offer what I said," she retorted. "The worst that can happen is that she says no, and you'll beg me to come here for more plans. Big fucking deal."

Now, you and Rei are best friends without question, but you know when she gets worked up. An imaginary klaxon rang in your head: she was in that territory, and that was a first.

"Alright, sorry," you relent. "I'm just paranoid, I suppose."

Silence – rare even for Rei and her usual side comments about your questionable decisions. All you could hear was the quiet munching of nachos.

"Any nachos left?," you asked, and Rei shook the bag as audible proof it was close to empty.

"So, uh," you asked, "how's that guy you've been trying to ask out?"

"Gave up," she said coldly. "Unlike you, I know when to quit when I'm not wanted."

Silence again, no less awkward. So much more awkward that you're patting your thighs and tapping your foot silently, trying to resist the urge to walk away. But the sinking feeling in your chest wins out.

"Well, thanks for the advice. Keep the salsa," you said. "I'll... leave you to it then."

You slowly get up, trying to feign leaving, when Rei started sniffling. "I really wish you'd get the hint," she whispered.

"Wait, Rei, wh–"

"I said I wish you'd get the fucking hint, you doofus!," she hissed as she stomped her feet, looking back at you over her shoulder. "It's always Sooyoung this, Sooyoung that, or maybe even Vicky this, or Jen that, it's always gotta be someone else!"

You stayed frozen. "Rei–"

"And here I am, crawling to you every single time you need me because I want to be with you, hoping you're gonna realize it one day," she cried, almost bawling. "And all you ever do is just fuss over more women who will never give you what I can!"

You're not just frozen now; you're shellshocked. Sure, you always had a nagging feeling asking Rei about other girls would be a bit awkward, but you never assumed she'd ever take it personally. More than that – that she had any feelings for you to take it personally.

"Rei–," you tried to speak, more firmly, but Rei had already gotten up.

"No. I don't want to talk to you," she responded. "Not about work, not about your life, not about other girls. Just leave me alone." She walked briskly into the darkness; you sat there, surrounded only by the screeching of cicadas, the lamp and a jar of salsa on the floor, and the ringing silence in your ears.

The hundred-meter walk home felt more like a kilometer, the excruciating length of it fraught with rewinding to every single time you were with Rei.

"I wish you'd get the fucking hint."

There was this one night when you asked Rei for help when you were seeing a singer-songwriter who was very into Laufey, an artist you'd only heard by name before then. Rei made you an entire playlist even before you got to the playground. You spent the night listening to the music, and she would tell you all about the "lore" of her: her twin sister, her ethnic background, the jazz inspiration, etc.

"What's your favorite song of hers?"

She twirled a strand of hair around her finger pensively. "Maybe this one," she said, cutting the song to her choice.

One day, I will stop falling in love with you,

Some day, some will like me like I like you,

Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie, pretend that we are more than friends,

And of course I'll let you break my heart again.

"Wow," you reacted, "it has such an old sound you don't hear anymore."

"Hmm," Rei reacted, staring up into the black sky, even though there were no visible stars in your neighborhood.

"What do you like about it?," you asked.

She looked at you, her eyes glistening from the halogen streetlights. Her blank expression turned into a smile you'll never forget, only because you've almost never seen it on her: her eyes scrunched up until you could question if she could still see, her grin nearly ear-to-ear, hiding a deep chuckle.

"I guess I just relate to it a lot."

You laid quietly on your bed, tears welling in your eyes as the song blared in your headphones, staring up at the ceiling of your pitch black room.

You were worse than a doofus. You were a dumbass.

=====

"I think we should stop seeing each other," you said sternly to Sooyoung.

"O-okay, um," Sooyoung responded. "W-well, if that's what you want..."

"I just need you to answer me honestly," you added. "You were never into me, were you?"

"I mean...," Sooyoung scoffed, trying to find the words. "Look, you're a great guy and all, and I really enjoyed the dates, I really did. But... you're just not my type. And to be really honest, I was trying to let you down easy. I thought you'd never take the hint."

That stung, a little. Maybe a lot more than you ever ought to have felt.

"Then... before we call it quits, can I just ask you something? I need your... advice," you sighed.

"Okay? Go ahead, I'm listening," she said, turning the chair around for you. "You're taking this a lot better than I thought."

"Thanks. Uhh...," you scratched your head, trying to figure out a proper way to explain everything. "So, I've been talking to someone else to get advice. About our dates and stuff."

"Sounds like a great friend, if they suggested all those things we did," Sooyoung remarked.

"They did... she did," you corrected yourself. "Actually, more than just us. About a lot of personal stuff. But girls and dating in particular. Ever since we were kids." The more you explained it, the more ashamed you felt. "She... told me the other night she was hurt by me asking for help about the girls and dating part."

Sooyoung rubbed her neck. "Yikes. I sorta figured where this was going halfway through your story. I suppose you've figured out what that means, right?"

"Yeah. admittedly a little late," you paused. "But... am I too late?"

"What do you mean by that?," she asked.

"Let's say I wanna... try and date her," you continued. "Am I too late to ask her out?"

"Honestly?," Sooyoung replied, "It's not so much if you're too late or too early if she really likes you. But, if this girl were like me and I was in her shoes, I'd want some form of assurance that I'm wanted by you. I mean, you've literally told them you were interested in other people. Other girls. Girls that weren't her. It'll take a little bit more than 'trying' to date. You need to want her, choose her."

You fell silent. Sooyoung likely saw the gears turning in your head.

"Maybe start there. If you wanna take her seriously, why would you? What's there to like about her?," she continued. "You're a sweet guy, really. You don't need to change a thing about yourself, for now at least. But you gotta make all of that choose her, or she'll never believe you."

Sooyoung's phone started ringing. "I'm so sorry," she remarked, "just remember what I said. Do it with purpose, and with someone who can appreciate you more thoroughly." She then stepped out, both literally and figuratively.

"Goodbye," you whispered to the empty seat in front of you.

=====

The little digital watch on your wrist beeped on the hour: 10PM. You were sitting on the rock in the middle of the neighborhood playground, an unopened bag of potato chips in hand a battery-powered mosquito lamp by your feet.

You shook your foot anxiously, and checked your phone again, probably the 12th time in the past 10 minutes.

You looked at your text to Rei: "Meet at the rock, 10PM" – the same message you've been sending her when you ask to see her, and the same unanswered message you've sent after that night. This was night #4.

A part of you wanted to leave it with finality, to accept Rei was fully done with your shit. She had every right to be, and you didn't think she was wrong for it. But you remembered Sooyoung's words: act with purpose.

10 minutes passed. Then another 10. You thought you heard someone heading to you, but it was just a lone night jogger. Then another 15.

A hooded figure suddenly walked up to the streetlight, wearing a pair of light pink pajama pants with a still indiscernible cartoon print and chunky rubber slides. Her face was obscured, but you didn't need to see it to know who it was. You stood up in... excitement? Frantic? The feeling didn't matter.

When Rei was finally right next to you, she had no makeup on, her eyes very puffy and reddish. Her face was scrunched into a scowl, but softened as you looked at her.

You reached out to hand her the potato chip bag. Without words, she grabbed it gingerly before taking a seat on the rock. You sat the same way, back against hers.

You struggled to find the words to say, the right ones at least. You wanted to say everything right away, that you were sorry and you were insensitive and self-centered.

Rei heaved a heavy sigh. "You can say anything you want," she replied. "Stop overthinking it."

You tried to angle your body a little bit more towards Rei. "Remember that night after the school play?"

Silence, though you heard her breathing sound shaky.

---

"Um... I want to leave the Science club."

You dropped your sandwich. "What?! B-but why?"

"Because... I just got into the school play," she said with a subdued smile.

You slammed your hands on the table excitedly. "Oh, forget the Science club! That's amazing! When's the show?"

"End of the year," she replied, loosening up to your cheer. "But I need to quit to focus on rehearsals and all."

"Yeah yeah, totally," you said, and hugged her tight without thinking. "I'm so happy for you!

---

"Hey Jen," you asked your cute friend in the Science club, "what's a good color of flower to give someone?"

She looked at you, puzzled. "Color?"

"Yeah," you continued. "Or type. Design? I don't know, I've never learned about flower names."

"Design?!," she replied incredulously. "So you've never heard of poinsettia? Chrysanthemum? Geranium? Jasmine??"

"Um... violets like the color? And roses!," you replied excitedly.

Jen slapped her forehead. "O-kay. And here you are in the Science club."

"I'm a chemistry guy, okay?," you defended yourself. "Please help me."

---

At the end of the show, you waited by the backstage with a handful of three white roses and three violets. You didn't have that much money, but you wanted to get Rei her favorite flowers – fortunately the only flowers you knew. Rei stood out well, delivering her lines with clearly and making everyone laugh with her witty lines. She deserved these flowers.

5 minutes passed. Then another 5. Then another actor came out, noticing you.

"Oh, you looking for Rei?," he asked. "She went out with her friends in the other direction. Sorry."

Without thinking, you texted her right away. "Meet at the rock, as soon as you can."

---

"I waited for you that night," you continued, "even if you'd left. I ran to this rock and waited, even if you were late, like actually late. Even if I was tired, and sweaty, and full of mosquito bites."

You heard Rei sniffling.

"Rei, I'm sorry," you said. "I wasn't... attentive. I was selfish. Or self-centered. Whatever the word is. I wasn't looking at what was right in front of me." You paused, trying to gauge if Rei was still capable of listening.

"I hope you believe me, but before everyone else it was you," you said, holding back your own tears. "That was almost 10 years ago. I'm not going to pretend that I currently reciprocate your feelings for me, but I want to try to bring back what I felt a long time ago."

Rei paused and sniffled. "I still have them."

"Huh?"

She pulled out her wallet and pulled out a folded piece of paper, with one rose and one violet dried up and pressed on it.

---

It was almost 11:30PM. You'd been waiting at the rock for almost 40 minutes. You'd rushed to the rock, no snacks or mosquito lamp or flashlight; just you.

Your legs were shaking. You felt your heart race only slightly slower than how it was waiting outside the backstage. You felt your fingers get cold, even when your palms were sweaty. You barely could sit still.

Of all the classmates you've ever liked, this feeling was the first you attached to one – and it was Rei.

You heard and saw a car drive up to her house, and saw a figure step out of it. You stood up, wanting to see the figure better, but there was no need – the figure started running hurriedly to your direction.

"Rei! You were–" you tried to say, before all of her crashed into you at full speed. You almost got knocked off your feet, if not for the rock catching your fall. Which hurt a bit, but you ignored with Rei's tight hug.

"I'm so sorry! My friends just whisked me away, I was actually looking for you, and–," she frantically replied.

"No, it's no bother, really! You were great! I got you these–," you said at the same time, before stopping and pushing Rei away in shocking realization.

"Ow! Hey, what was – oh no!," she exclaimed.

In your excitement, you hugged with the bouquet between you, the paper wrapping ripped apart by the moisture and the flower petals bent out of their original shape. When you let go of each other, it had fallen to your feet.

Rei looked at you, tears suddenly starting to well up. "I'm sorry...," she said softly, "I didn't–"

You picked up the flowers, offering it to Rei anyway, feeling your cheeks flush with heat and your heart thumping in your ears.

"I got you these," you said softly. "Sorry it's a bit... yeah."

She went in to hug you, making sure the flowers stayed in your hand and away from you while she did. She held you in a hug for a long while, both of you calming down.

---

You held the paper in your hands while Rei spoke.

"That night, when I got home, I remember pressing the flowers one by one," she explained, "and I remembered that with every flower I did, I was extra careful and extra giddy. And that's when I knew I liked you." You folded up the paper the way she did.

"I didn't really... have a crush on you or anything either," she continued, her body starting to face yours. "But a part of me kept thinking, 'if he asked you out, I'd say yes right away.' So I waited."

Rei looked away again. "Then you started going out with Jen," she added, her face more distraught. "Then that didn't work. Then there was that girl you met at your freshman mixer. Then it was... I don't know how many girls you talked to me about. But every single one felt like there was one thing I had but two things I didn't."

You started anxiously biting your nails. How had you not noticed this sooner? How could you completely have ignored someone who you ran to incessantly?

"But I stayed because you meant a lot to me too," Rei said. "I don't regret any of it. I don't hold it... no, I did hold it against you for a bit. A while. A long while. Maybe I still do, just a bit."

She fell silent. She wasn't crying anymore, but you could imagine her face looking very close to weeping.

"I guess all there's left to say is," she added, "I wanna give you a chance."

You didn't quite have the words, but your body was telling you to move, to act.

Grabbing her into fireman's carry, you lifted her with all your energy to sit onto your lap. "Whoa, hey, what are you doing?!," Rei reacted. You were now both face to face with each other, foreheads and cheeks pressed up. You felt the warmth of her breath, and paused.

This was it, the feeling that was missing. You went through every single time you went out with Sooyoung, then all the times you went out with Rei. You thought about all the places you'd gone with Jen, then remembered all the times you went there first with Rei. You remembered every single date you've been on, then brought yourself right back to this moment. Rei was the missing piece – the yearning for reciprocation, for recognition, for a sign, and like a puzzle she belonged right there, in your embrace.

You didn't even think too hard about what to do next. You planted your lips on hers, briefly — and everything felt right.

When you parted from her, she looked at you, stunned, for a whole second, before she closed her eyes and dove into your lips, for twice as long.

"Finally," Rei smirked, "thought you'd never figure it out."

You kept on kissing, the screeching of crickets and birds around you interrupted only by the smacking of your lips against one another. Rei's lips softly cushioned yours as your heads twisted, trying to push each other in more deeply than physically possible; but such was your appetite for her, and hers for you, yearning to dig deeper for everything that was just unearthed.

You released your grasp on her and she looked at you, her scowl dissipated by a more sincerely warm and toothy smile. She didn't have to explain anything further, all her feelings told by the smile plastered on her face.

"Rei, I'm–," you started, but silenced by a single finger on your lips.

"Stop," she butted in. "Save it for later. Just hold me first."

You brought in your thighs under her to hold her more closely, still cradling her like a baby. She wrapped an arm around your shoulder and nuzzled her face on yours, releasing all the aggression she had pent up.

Every time you shifted your position, she used her other hand to fix it back in place with a light slap. "Stop ruining my moment," she hissed, though her tone gave away that it was less hostile and more clingy.

She released you from her grip and stared at you again. "I'm ready to forgive you now," she said, a hint of sass audible in her voice.

"What an honor," you replied, rolling your eyes. She grabbed your face between her fingers, squeezing your cheeks.

"Shh," she rebutted, "you're not off the hook yet." She stood up, offering a hand to you.

You held it, though looked at her puzzled. "Wait, where are we going?"

"My room," she replied, starting to pull you towards her house.

"Wait, but your family–"

"Not home," Rei said curtly. "Just trust me."

You dropped your hesitations and let her pull you in, following her into her house, up the stairs, and into her room. The lights were off, and before your hand reached the switch, she stopped you.

"No," Rei said firmly, "I wanna do this in the dark." Your mind started racing – was this really happening? You've never gotten this far with a girl, you've never prepared for it either mentally or materially, but you weren't against the pace things were going. Maybe you were even excited.

In the shadows, you saw Rei take off her shirt, her silhouette only accented by the plain white walls and cabinets in the room. You saw the curves on her body, the way her breasts rested on her body, her bare legs and thighs smooth and slightly toned. She stood a bit awkwardly, but with purpose.

"I don't just want you to like me back," she replied firmly, "I wanna prove to you I'm better than all of them."

Rei stepped closer, her body only slightly illuminated by the moonlight streaming from her window.

"Do you want me like this?," she asked, her voice shaky.

"Y-yes," you stammered, still shocked at the pace of things.

Your heart raced. You knew Rei to be competitive, or at the very least petty enough to do the most out of spite. You couldn't possibly imagine how she was going to utilize that burning passion in the moment.

"Rei," you said, "are you sure you wanna do this right now?"

She stepped forward until she was face to face with you, her breath warm just inches from your face. She removed your shirt and pants, letting them fall to the floor. Her eyes pierced into yours.

"Yes," she said with determination, "I'm gonna make sure you never forget me."

Rei pushed you down by your shoulders to sit you on the bed, and knelt by your feet. She pulled down your underwear and let it sit by your feet, then crawled up in between your legs until her mouth was right up to your groin.

"Look at me," she spoke sternly.

Keeping her hands on your legs, she dipped down to catch your dick in her mouth, held in place in between her lips. With her lips almost vacuum sealed against the tip of your erection, she shoved her head into you, forcing your length in as if her mouth were immovably tight.

The feeling of her lips grazing against your length, lubricated by her tongue swirling around your shafted continuously, was incomparable. When you let go of her gaze to throw your head back in ecstasy, she dug her fingernails into your thighs to grab your attention.

Rei sucked you off with almost mechanical pace; she covered your length from base to under the tip with consistency, not so fast that she was ramming herself into you, but definitely slow enough the you weren't writhing and ramming yourself into her in chase of stimulation.

"Fuck, Rei, fuck," you reacted, watching her eyes stare unmoved from yours. Even when your legs trembled, her hands held you firmly in place. She even moved her hands down to your ankles and heels, wrapping her forearms behind your calves.

"Fuck, Rei, that's so good," you continued, her pace only slightly picking up. "Holy fuck, holy shit."

As you approached your climax, you started uncontrollably bucking your hips, as if chasing after her. Yet Rei continued at her pace, unchanged even with your disruptions. It was almost torturous keeping yourself from finishing.

"Rei, please, I wanna cum, I'm so close, faster," you begged.

"Mmm-mmm," she said, shaking her head. Still Rei continued at her pace, your head now fully facing up at the ceiling. Your eyes were wide open, even rolled up as you approached climax.

"Rei, Rei," you called out her name. "I'm gonna, I'm gonna–"

Then she stopped, popping her mouth out from your cock. You twitched for a few times, then your hips started bucking in search of her mouth, thighs shaking uncontrollably. Rei stared at you with a devilish grin, as if mocking your current state.

"Are you okay?" she asked, rubbing your thigh. You didn't even know what to reply; it felt good – amazing, even – up until that moment she denied it from you. You just stared at her, wide eyed, confused.

"Great," she replied with a smile. From her bedside table, she pulled out a lip tint, applying it to her lips until it glistened in the moonlight.

"Okay, let's mark that... one," she remarked, gingerly tracing a single, horizontal line on the inside of your bare leg with the tint. "Ready for number two?"

"Hold up, what do you mean number–" was all you could utter before Rei took your cock in her mouth a second time. She engulfed your dick in its entirety in one go, until her painted lips landed at the base of your groin.

She kept the suction in her mouth as she slowly – very slowly, almost dragging her lips across every vein on your shaft – lifted her head. When she got to the bottom of your swollen head, she released her lips and took your length in again, repeating the process.

You've never felt the sensation before: you were sensitive, still close to your orgasm; but you could feel something still pooling up within the base of your cock, even adding to what was already there just before she stopped sucking you.

After three more slow and gentle bobs of her head, Rei's lip tint left a faint stain around the base of your cock, wet from saliva and very much visible – like she had wanted to leave it there. She teased you a bit more, sucking only the half inch right under your head, before releasing it with a pop. Your mouthed barely formed a coherent sentence, overwhelmed still by the ticklish sensation on the underside of your shaft.

She released you briefly to purse her lips, keeping them moist, before resuming back at the same consistent pace she was at just earlier. Rei stared at you with unmoving, almost dismissive eyes; you felt her soft, luscious lips press up against your groin as they landed at the base of your dick. Her tongue pressed up on the underside of your shaft, the tip just barely tickling frenulum. All that, and you felt her pace pick up, her face slamming a tad lighter onto your body.

"Fuck, I wanna cum so bad, Rei," you groaned. "God, you're good at this." Rei chuckled with your dick still in her mouth, the vibrations adding stimulation.

Again, you neared your breaking point. Your breathing turned into loud gasping and moaning, until all you were saying was her name over and over again: "Rei, Rei, Rei." The suction on her lips broke as she smiled, now shoving your dick as far deep into her throat.

Except it didn't reach the back of her throat, Rei's face and nose instead slamming into your hips. Even when it was practically buried in your pubes, she still stared at you with hungry, lustful eyes.

"Rei, I'm gonna– fuck, I'm– hah, fuck–," you bumbled, your torso rocking back and forth as she continued to suck harder and faster. You could feel the swelling tide of cum in your shaft, ready to burst, and you bucked your hips in the air...

Then Rei stopped, again, releasing you from your grasp. Your hips stayed in the air, chasing after her mouth, and you groaned aloud in frustration. One, two droplets of white spilled from your tip, which Rei watched as it slid down your shaft. You reached a hand for your cock, intending to stroke yourself to completion, but Rei suddenly lunged at you, shoving you fully onto the bed.

"I told you I wasn't gonna make you forget me," she said mischievously. "But you owe me for making me cry my eyes out the whole week."

You gasped for air, out of breath from being denied a second orgasm, but you didn't move as proof of submission. She grabbed a long ribbon from a drawer and sat you up, tying your hands behind your back. She made you sit with your back to the headboard of her bed, reapplied her lip tint, and drew another line down from the previous one on your thigh. "That's two," she cooed.

Now you felt a pain in your groin, like from the denial. You still felt a load ready to come out with the right amount of coaxing, but judging from Rei's treatment that wasn't going to come easy.

She took you in her mouth again, this time going even slower than before. Unlike the second time, where she was more frantic and hasty, she returned to her pace from when she started – mechanical, consistent, tantalizing.

But this time the sensation on your dick was different. It tickled, almost painfully, but in a stimulating way – you wanted it to keep going and end right now.

Still Rei sucked on, her lips covered in spit. She started to spill so much drool from her mouth that it began coating your shaft, slowly dripping over your balls and onto the bed. The trails left behind were cold in the air, even when it started spilling onto your taint.

Now you were seated completely on the bed, legs splayed outwards, while Rei laid on her stomach. You could see her ass in the dark, not wide but definitely sizable, like you could grab a whole handful of it. You've never noticed these features on Rei – not her boobs or her butt, maybe her thighs the few times your hormonal teenager self ogled at all the girls in your PE class – but you realize now that she was just as hot as a lot of the girls you've dated.

She let go of your cock to flick it with her finger a single time. "Ow! What the fuck was that for?!," you whined.

"I said, look at me," Rei growled, swallowing your dick whole right as she said it. The sharp pain from the flick actually made the load welling up in your shaft retreat, and now you weren't sure if she was grabbing attention or keeping your orgasm delayed again – maybe even both.

That delay never came. She picked up her pace again, the pain in your balls increasing as you could feel them trying to squeeze out a third one. Though it welled again at your base, you now felt all of your cum fill up your length, from base to tip. As Rei's sucking continued, you felt yourself twitch, and you swore that the trails of saliva she left started turning whiter.

"Rei, please, I'm so close," you begged. "I wanna cum so bad..."

"Keep begging," she muttered, as she picked up her pace yet again.

"Rei, you suck me so well, holy fucking shit," you praised, hoping that would encourage her to let you actually finish. "Your face looks so fucking hot while you take me whole."

Rei started moaning at your words, and you notice one of her hands, while the other was wrapped firmly around your base, was in between her legs. Each moan she made only brought you closer to finishing.

"Please, Rei," you begged, "I wanna cum so bad, I wanna cum for you so bad..."

Rei let her mouth go of your dick and started licking your frenulum vigorously. The extra sensation was enough to start breaking the dam, and your mouth blubbered to make sure she knew that "I'm gonna cum, I'm gonna cum, I'm gonna cum– agh!"

With one final thrust in the air, you burst, as Rei's hand around your base let go. For a split second, you swore time slowed down as you saw your cumshot burst into the air – which you've never, ever seen – then another, and another, and another. The sudden ecstasy of your release made you increasingly lightheaded, almost blanking out

After what felt like minutes, you came to, and Rei's face was completely drenched in white, viscous globs of cum, dripping onto her chin. Her mouth, agape as she caught her breath, bore strings of cum that spanned her lips, trembling with every pant she made.

You stared at each other. She smiled in satisfaction, licking her lips and lapping up all the cum she could with her tongue. You finally found the presence of mind to laugh, your high fully felt as it coursed through your bones. "Holy fuck, that was amazing," you remarked, and Rei gave you her toothy smile in pleasure.

She pulled out her tint again to mark your leg – a single line right next to the second, now looking like T mixed with an F. "That's three," she chuckled, "you're crazy, you know that?" You breathed heavily, gasping for air, still laughing.

Without warning, Rei gobbled up your dick again, now doubly aggressive than how she sucked you prior. Your eyes widened, your abdomen crunched, and your hips tried to retreat into the bed, only being stopped by said bed against Rei's relentless bobbing.

You writhed and laughed as the sensation turned more ticklish, as your shaft felt every ridge on Rei's lips rub against it. You laughed, groaned, even yelped as the sensation blended into the pain in your balls from being wrung dry.

"Rei– hah, stop! Fuck, stop!," you begged. Rei groaned her rejection of your request, replacing her mouth with the quick stroking of her hand.

"Come on, take it," she taunted. "You owe me all of it."

Your body twisted and contorted from the extreme sensation. But surprisingly, you could still feel something welling up in your shaft – your release merely held back by the ticklish sensation.

Rei rubbed you faster, scraping off some cum from her face onto yours until it was slick, sliding, and squelching with her grasp.

"One last," she reassured, "give it to me. I want it all over my face. I want it all over my mouth. I wanna feel your seed all over me. Make me yours. Mark me. Claim me."

Your writhing was frantic and aggressive. If not for Rei's weight on your legs you would have shaken yourself free, but your arms were still held back. No amount of retreat stopped Rei's unrelenting stroking.

"You're mine," she growled, taking your whole length in one last time. That last line of dirty talk was all you needed, and you cum another – a fourth? – time. It disappeared into Rei's mouth, but when she let go, a few streaks of drippy, clear fluid left a trail around your tip.

You panted, eyes heavy from exhaustion and ecstasy and head buzzing. You felt Rei trace another line inside your thigh. "Four," she teased, "if only we could make that five." Worn out as you were, you felt your dick twitch still, the prospect of being used by Rei surprisingly a turn on.

Rei clicked her tongue at the sight of you, slowly kissing your sensitive cock. Each one was light and cold at each touch, making you twitch and shudder harder and harder as she continued. She giggled as she continued, picking up the pace.

You heaved to catch your breath. "You're... very... pleased... despite... being sad..."

Rei paused her kissing. "Sad? I wasn't sad," she replied, dragging her tongue from the base of your cock to your tip, with a slow, dick-achingly long drag. "More frustrated. I've wanted you for so long and you kept wanting others. Now that you're mine, I'm never letting you go."

You laughed in panic. "Okay, I'm sorry... Fuck, I've never... never had a blowjob... like that.."

Rei giggled as she made another long stroke on your dick, your groans even louder behind hard-gritted teeth.

"You sound like you're in pain," she cooed, her tone seemingly mocking you. "You want me to stop?" she dragged her tongue once again, intent to continue until you stopped her. But you said nothing, merely groaning and gasping for air, eyes almost watering at how sensitive you felt. And Rei loved watching you squirm.

Like the end to an elaborate ritual, Rei took your dick in her mouth fully, wrapping her lips tightly around your head, forcing it through her mouth, and keeping the seal tight around your shaft – the same way she started. Inside her tongue did most of the work, stroking the full underside of your dick as she bobbed her head gently up and down the lower half of your shaft.

Painfully, you squirmed, feeling something pool at your base. "Fuck, stop! I'm gonna– fuck!"

Before you realized it, you squirted into Rei's mouth – squirted, meaning you felt a sharp jet of liquid spray out of your dick. Rei had let go of you just before you did, the fluids coating her face, your torso, your thighs, and the bedsheets.

With that, you let out a single laugh, and felt the ringing and the blackness in your field of view take over.

=====

When you woke up, the sun was almost about to rise. On Rei's bedside, her alarm clock read 5:39AM.

You tried to get up by propping yourself up with your hands – revealing that your bindings have been removed. Your groin ached and your member felt sore and sensitive, and you groaned to summon all the strength you had in you to get up.

Hobbling to the bathroom, you realize your skin felt surprisingly clean. You had been sweating and drenched in all manner of ejaculate last night, yet you felt like you'd taken a clean shower.

When you got to the bathroom, you turned on the faucet and rubbed your face, trying to wash the grogginess out of your system. When you opened your eyes, however, you found a little surprise: Rei left her lip tint counter on your thigh, the lines now forming the character 正. Around the base of your dick was a pink stain, the same ones caused by Rei's lips.

You grinned instantly – she accomplished her mission. "God damn," you muttered to yourself, "definitely the best blowjob I've had."

"Good," Rei replied, suddenly waiting at the door. You jumped, instinctively hiding your crotch in your hands. Rei tossed you your underwear and pants, and you swiftly put them on. She however wore your shirt, which fit her nicely – stretching down just past her hips that she was fully, but just barely, covered up.

She held your hands in hers, swinging them playfully. "I think I went... a little overboard last night..."

"You think?," you laughed at her.

She tilted her head and looked away. "Well... maybe I planned to go overboard..." She could barely hide her smirk.

You rolled your eyes. "I sure hope I've apologized sufficiently then."

"Hmmm," Rei replied cheekily, "take me out on a date first. Then we're even."

You embraced Rei tenderly, rubbing your hands on her back as she rubbed her face into your chest. Things felt right – for once you weren't just giving, but receiving twice over.

"I'm sorry for taking you for granted, Rei," you said softly into her hair.

"It's okay," she said, her face squished into your bare chest. "Don't go."

You held Rei by the shoulders and stared at her. She smiled from ear to ear, her eyes squished so much she looked like she couldn't even see. That's the Rei you liked.

"So," you replied, "how about we go clothes shopping?"

Batfam and Danny, Part 35

The next day, Wayne Manor, the in-house movie theater

Damian: Is everything set up Alfred?

Alfred: Yes Master Damian. The film has been uploaded to the projector, all you need to do is hit play on the remote, and the popcorn machine has all warmed up.

Damian: Good this has to be perfect.

Alfred: Don't worry too much Damian, Jon will be happy to just spend time with you.

Damian: You don't understand this our first date... is this a date? Whatever the case I don't want Jon to regret courting me.

Alfred (placing a hand on Damian's head): All will be fine, just breathe.

Damian (breathing): I know.

Alfred's phone dings.

Alfred: That must be him, do you wish to go with me Damian?

Damian: I'll finish preparing things, please escort Jon here.

Alfred: Very well Master Damian.

A few minutes later

Alfred: Here we are

Jon: Hi Dami!

Damian: Hi Jon.

They hug.

Damian: This feels weird...

Jon: I know... but why? We've hugged before.

Alfred (amused): I'll leave you two alone, do call if you need anything.

Damian (blushing): Let's grab some popcorn and sit.

Jon (also blushing): Yeah, let's.

The two of them grab a popcorn bucket, sit down next to each other and start playing the movie.

Jon happily watches the movie. Damian on the other hand watched the movie absolutely bewildered.

After the movie.

Jon: That was a great movie! What do think Damian?

Damian: It was awful! Well, the story itself was ok, but the assassin stuff was just awful. It is woefully inaccurate and honestly insulting. The movie doesn’t come out for a few more weeks, but as soon as it does, I’ll be writing a review! 

Jon: Taking advantage that the whole world knows you’re the grandson of Ra al Ghul?

Damian: Yes! Everyone knows I was raised by assassins for the first ten years of my life, I can provide an expert review. I am proud of my assassin heritage.

Jon: “I am proud of my assassin heritage” sounds very wrong out of context.  

Damian: ...True, I won’t phrase it like that, honestly a review won't cut it, I'm going to write a whole essay!

Jon: Why don't you make it a video essay? I could help you with visuals and editing.

Damian (smiling): Great idea! Let's go to my room and start writing.

Jon: Ok.

A while later.

Danny (entering Damian's room): Hey guys, how was the movie?

Jon: It was ok, but Damian didn't like the assassin lore the movie has, so now we're writing a video essay-review of the film.

Danny: Would you two like any snacks from the kitchen while you work?

Damian: Can you bring me some muffins, and pomegranate juice.

Jon: I'll also like some muffins and a hot chocolate, if it's not too much effort.

Danny: Sure thing, be back in a bit.

Danny turned intangible and flew out of the room through the floor.

Damian: Ok, as I was saying, the terminology used during the conversation five minutes into the movie is all kinds of wrong. I will first address why, and then what could have been said to make that conversation make sense... Damian looked up to Jon looking at him. Jon are you listening?

Jon: I am, but I'm also admiring how cute you are.

Damian (shyly): Shut up I'm not cute, al Ghuls are not cute.

Jon: Ok, would you prefer handsome? Pretty? Beautiful?

Damian: Shut up!

Jon: No.

Damian: Fine want to play like that? You're also cute, and very smart, especially during our patrols.

Jon: So are you, plus you're always the one with all the intel, we build on each other's strengths.

Damian (smiling): We're getting off topic.

Jon (smiling): Sorry for distracting you.

Damian: It was a welcomed distraction.

Damian and Jon smiled at each other.

Danny: Aww, you two are so cute.

Damian and Jon jumped, turning to Danny holding a tray with muffins, and their drinks.

Danny: Here are your snacks.

Damian (embarrassed, grabbing the tray): Get out!

Danny: But-

Damian (pushing Danny out of the room): OUT! Damian walked back to the desk and set down the tray. Let's eat and work.

Jon (smiling, grabbing his hot chocolate): As you wish.

[adhd-coyote]

Hi!!!

What about Echo (post skako minor) getting a kiss on the inner thigh? Dealer's choice for who (could be more than one person he has two thighs lmao) would be kissing him.

I'm excited to see!!! i love your work!!

Okay so I have not watched anything to do with tbb and that includes the tcw episodes so I’m just kinda wingin’ this

-

It was moments like these that made Echo glad he'd always paid attention during Tech's tune-ups. Not only was it best to know how his own limbs worked, but now, with Tech gone...

"Echo?"

Echo blinked as Rex's voice pulled him back into the present. His Captain - well, not technically a Captain anymore, but Echo would always think of him as that - was frowning at him, small and soft.

"You okay?" Tired eyes searched Echo's face, filled with quiet concern. "You had that look again..."

Echo did his best to offer a smile. He wasn't sure he succeeded. "I'm okay. Just got lost in thought for a sec."

Rex nodded. He didn't seem convinced, but he didn't push. Just pressed their shoulders together and nodded at the leg - Echo's leg - on the table in front of them. "You were saying?"

"Right, yeah, so-"

Echo managed to stay focused for the rest of it. Rex had asked for the basics so he could help if or when needed, and of course Echo had agreed. Which led them here, Rex listening attentively as Echo gave him the basics of how his prosthetics worked, how to do simple repairs, tuning, and the like.

"That's about it," Echo finished with a small sigh. "I know it sounds like a lot, but..."

"I'll get the hang of it," Rex nodded, voice still soft, but now carrying that stubborn determination Echo knew and loved. "Show me how to reattach it?"

"Yeah. Let me just..." Echo shifted in his chair to give Rex better access as Rex carefully picked up his prosthetic and crouched in front of him.

"Okay. Show me what to do."

"Here, just like this..." Echo leaned down to guide Rex's hands as best he could. They were warmer than Echo remembered, though that was likely because Echo ran cold these days.

"There." Echo took a second to make sure his leg was connected properly before trying to move it. He checked the knee joint first, then the ankle, then both at once. Everything seemed in working order.

"Good?" It was only because Echo knew Rex so well that he picked up on the anxious note in his voice. He nodded.

"Yeah, good. Thanks."

"'No debt." Rex pressed a lingering kiss right above the border where flesh met metal. His lips were even warmer than his hands, enough that Echo could swear he felt that warmth soaking in through that small point of contact and spreading through the rest of his body. What remained of it, at least.

"Rex?"

Rex hummed, regulation brown eyes flicking up to meet Echo's. "Was that okay?"

"Uh- yeah. Yes, yeah, that was okay."

"Okay. Good," Rex smiled and pressed another kiss to the same spot, this was briefer but no less warm. Echo shivered, only partly because of his Captain.

"It's just, uh- I need my pants, now. It's cold."

"Oh." Rex paused, then smiled, a bit sheepish. "Yeah, 'course. Sorry."

"'S fine," Echo hummed as Rex stood and pressed a kiss to his temple.

"I'll grab 'em for you."

Echo huffed and pushed himself to his feet. "You don't need to."

"I know. But I want to help. Here." Rex handed them over. Echo took them with a grateful nod. "I gotta head to the cockpit to check on some stuff. Join me when you're ready?"

"Yeah," Echo smiled. "I'll be right there."

-

Genuinely I am so nervous about this one. Hope I did okay! Thank you for the ask <3

Kiss ask game

[greennoobartist]

I seem to have acquired another question on your LGBTQ stance, if your ok answering, I know you said that you said you were gonna make a separate post answering my comment but I have more now 😭. So, do you think that there is anything morally wrong with being gay? or was it really just past experiences that made you push them away? Do you even think this should be a conversation and people should just mind their own dang business and respect if you say that you don't support something.

Alright, here I am. Sorry for the wait, but I wanted to give it my fullest for this question. I'll now address everything in detail!

Note: my LGBTQ stance is a lot connected to my religion, so all religious stuff will be colored in violet. If you're not fine with religious talk, especially religion that isn't Christianity, i suggest you skip violet colored paragraphs, but I can't promise that my stance will make sense if you do so.

With that being said, let's do this...

In my honest opinion, saying that i support LGBT is a strong term. I mean the term "support" is a bit like off, to word it that way. I cannot say that I support it, but the closest description would be respect it? Im not sure if even that can be near my stance. Just as mentioned above, my stance on LGBT is a lot, and actually completely, based on my religion. When it comes to my gender and sexuality, i completely lean on my religion for its guidance and orders.

In my religion, being LGBT is actually prohibited. That includes being transgender and/or genderfluid. Any adjustments to one's gender or sexuality is prohibited. In the religion i believe in, the only permitted option for one is to be cisgender and straight, which explains why i am so. Any changes to one's naturally given gender and sexuality is prohibited. Of course now, im only saying this for my religion, im not trying to be pushy, im only trying to explain my stance.

So, that explains why im cis and straight. Now supporting others in such act is also prohibited. Although, my religion is also about being respectful and kind to every soul Allah, s.w.t., brought to the World, so now being pushy and causing harm to someone different than me would also be a big mistake. What I'm trying to say is, no, i don't support it and i won't be encouraging it, my religion isn't allowing me to and I'm a religious person, so I'm not supporting it and I'm not the part of it, but I'll be respectful and kind towards such people.

Vidow?... This doesn't do with my religion at all, I really can't see them as anything more than best friends, really. I understand that the majority of the fandom ships them, but I don't. Do i care? Well, i can't change it. So, the only thing I care about when it comes to Vidow is that people accept and don't hate me because of my opinion. Another thing I care about is that my content I'll make for them isn't tagged and labeled as romantic Vidow. That's actually it. I can't change the majority of the fandom, so I don't care that much, i just want my opinion to be respected. I think im not asking for much.

About people praying on children when it comes to LGBT, yeah I also noticed that, and I really don't know what to say about that. I really find it annoying when people disrespect straight people and when they push LGBT into others, especially children. That's just not okay. I will respect it since I can't change your opinions and views, but don't push it into me. And into children? That's just low. I don't know anymore if I can label as a child anymore, depends on what we count as a child, but either way it's disrespectful to force people into anything, not just LGBT. Im afraid that continuing here would just cause a conflict since this could really be discussed into really really deeply, so ill leave it here to avoid any conflict.

Do I find anything morally wrong about being gay? Or is it just my past experiences that made me push them away? To be sincerely honest, it's both my experiences and my religion. When it comes to finding it morally wrong or not, that is completely dependent on my religion! Which says that yes, there is something wrong about being so. But again, my stance on LGBT is purely relying on my religion, so if you're not fine with my stance, then you're not fine with my religion either. And my stance is 90% everything that my religion says, not my personal opinions. I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm sharing the point of view of my religion, which I oblige to follow since my religion is my personal life decision. Me, personally, find being gay more unusual, probably since I didn't get used to being with such people and didn't have much opportunities in the past to interact with such individuals. I'm doing my best to be respectful, but my opinion stands.

For the last, i find it completely pointless to argue or to make a conversation about it. Everyone has their own opinions, so in my view, arguing over it is just purely pointless. Pushing your opinions into someone else or trying to prove why your opinion is correct just rises conflict and misunderstandings. It's not worth it. I find it fine to ask someone to explain their stance on why do they think so or to ask to confirm someone's opinion, but I honestly think that everyone should mind their own business and respect everyone's opinions, no matter how different they are. Why making conflicts? It's just not worth it. We just get nowhere. In fact, we might break friendships because of such. Sincerely, i really want people to not fuss over it that much and for everyone to focus on themselves and respect others. Asking questions and being curious is great, but being disrespectful and harmful is not.

To make my stance even clearer if it isn't clear what's my religion: I'm a Muslim. My religion is Islam. Islam doesn't allow any adjustments to one's naturally given gender and sexuality that was bestowed upon by The One and Only, The Almighty Allah. My stance on LGBT is purely on how prophet Muhammad, p.b.u.h., adviced and on how Allah The Almighty ordered. With respectful sincerity, I'm not changing my opinions.

For closing and as a note: If there is anyone who isn't fine with my opinion or religion, feel free to leave and block me and do whatever you want. I'm not going to force anyone to support me. I don't mind anyone blocking me or ignoring me after such addresses. I really don't mind. Don't hesitate, don't think it'll hurt me. If you're not fine with my opinions and religion, feel free to leave. I don't need anyone to disrespect me and hate me.

Huge thanks to everyone who gave their time to read through this. I really appreciate it and I hope that this cleared everything.

Sharing an umbrella with the rain code characters

A/n:since the hundred line came out (again no spoilers please) I thought about doing a couple of posts with other kinda death games to celebrate and since I do a lot of danganronpa posts already i decided to do the ones who have very few posts, so maybe expect a zero escape post soon......maybe

Shinigami

You and your death god girlfriend were casually walking around kanai ward looking for stuff to do on your day off

You sat on a bench and sighed tired of holding your umbrella, meanwhile shinigami was too busy looking around at all the other couples sharing their umbrellas to notice your annoyance

"The rain today is pretty bad huh?"

"I dunno, once you're here for a while you can't tell the difference anymore"

The death god pouted and sighed loudly and dramatically to get your attention

"My hair is gonna get all wet, it takes so much time to do twintails"

"......you......do your hair?"

"Obviously, you think it just spawns like this?"

"....kinda....you can magical girl transform but automatically doing your hair is out of your powers?"

"Even someone super powerful as me can't do everything y'know?"

"......sure, then why do you always have the same hairstyle?"

"Cause my hair is so long if I let it down its gonna go all the way to my legs"

"Ah I get it......now I kinda wanna see you with your hair down"

Shinigami put her hand on her head dramatically and started floating in the air even more

"Well you will soon if this rain keeps running it, ah! If only I had brought an umbrella"

You raised your head and looked at her weirdly

".......shini.....You're an incorprial being.....you can't get wet"

".............so?"

"So what?"

"Come on master! Do I have to spell it out for you? Just share that umbrella with me!"

"Why? The rain can't hit you"

"Cause it's romantic! Don't you see all the couples doing it? Or is it that you don't love me enough huh?

You looked around to see that there were indeed a lot of couples sharing umbrellas, so you sighed and raised your own so she could stand under it, which she did

"Thank youuuuu, I knew you still loved loved me master"

"At least don't float, you're already super tall and I don't want my arm to hurt later"

"Okaayyy~

She stopped floating and sat on the bench, she then started staring at you while smirking

"......what is it?"

"I dunno, just being here, with the rain, under one umbrella, it's such a romantic moment isn't it?"

"I.....guess"

Without saying another word she moved closer and kissed you passionately in the lips

"How about now?~"

".......why do you have to be such a good kisser?"

"Cause I'm good at everything"

"Except doing your hair it seems"

"H-hey! Come on master"

Halara nightmare

You and halara walked hand in hand outside of the casino you spent most of the afternoon in.

Once your partner closed the door behind them, they took out a stack of cash they had just won and started counting all the money while you took out your umbrella

"49....50...ok it should be everything, where do you wanna go now? I can buy you something if you'd like"

"I'd rather go back to the agency, I'm kinda tired now"

"Tired? Didn't you spend the entire day on my lap while I gambled?"

You blushed and tried to look away

"You told me I'd get bored just standing around.....and everyone looked at me weird"

"Calm down I'm just kidding, plus I think they regretted those stares now that I'm using their money to spoil you"

"Eh, that's true"

"OK let's go back then"

Halara put their hood on and started walking in the rain, but you quickly put the umbrella over their head, making them look at you confused

"You can keep the umbrella to yourself i already have the hood on"

"But then your clothes are gonna get wet"

"Baby, I go out in the rain in these clothes every day, I'll be fine"

"Just let me help please, you always do stuff for me I just wanna do this simple thing"

Halara looked surprised for a bit before smiling

"You're such a gentleman"

"It's just cause I love you a lot"

"Me too"

"Oh and before you say anything don't even think about paying me for this, it comes with being my lover packet"

"Alright, Alright but don't be surprised if that new game you wanted appears on your bed, that's not paying you am I right?"

"I know arguing on this isn't going to change your mind so I'll just accept it"

"Smart choice"

Fubuki clockford

You looked back at your phone one last time and sighed again the last message from fubuki was still a "I'm fully ready now I'll be there soon😊🥰👍" sent at least 30 minutes ago

A walk from the agency to the café you decided to have your date in was about 10 minutes and even if she had stopped to help a stray cat or an old person cross the street like she often did that would have taken 15 minutes at the max so your detective brain couldn't help but get worried and start thinking about every possible scenario that led to her being late

"Where is she now? Did she get lost again? But she would have texted me if she did, maybe the chief asked her to help on a case before she left? But he knew we had a date planned"

You continued thinking and sighed once you understood you couldn't come up with any believable reasons

"I should probably head back and check on her"

Just as you took your umbrella and were about to get up from your seat you heard a familiar voice yell your name

"W-wait y/n, I'm here"

You looked towards the voice and saw fubuki was there......with her hair and clothes completely soaked and panting as if she had just ran a marathon

"I am truly sorry for my lateness, I lost track of time,I....know how ironic that is, I hope you can forgive me"

"O-oh no its totally fine.....b-but why are you so wet? Did you not bring your umbrella?"

"I thought my hood would be enough but it seems the rain was particularly bad today"

"Oh I see"

"But don't worry, I can just turn back time to before I got out of the house and grab the umbrella"

"No please, I know how worn out you get after using your Forte. You already look so tired I wouldn't want to tire you out even more. We'll just share an umbrella to get back and.....I'll buy you some new clothes"

"S-share an umbrella? Oh yes I've heard of that, when a boy and girl share an umbrella that means they care about each other very much right?"

".....most of the time.....fubuki we're dating of course I care about you a lot"

Fubuki blushed and ran a hand through her wet blue hair

"Y-yes I suppose so, I apologize"

"There's no need to apologize, now just sit here, thankfully they have umbrellas on the tables, I ordered your favorite"

Fubuki got starry eyed and sat next to you

"Really? Oh thank you so much y/n, you are truly wonderful"

"You too buki, you too"

Martina electro

The moment you walked outside of your work building, even before you could start thinking about putting your hood up you felt that no raindrops were hitting your head so you opened your eyes to see Martina next to you holding an umbrella to cover your heads

"Oh hello miss vice director, any reason you're accompanying me home today?"

Martina adjusted her glasses and sighed

"You know you can drop the act with me y/n"

"Sorry, you're just so serious even outside of work, not that I mind, it's what makes you look sexy"

She started glaring at you and you got a bit scared at that

"I was joking, plus it was a compliment"

"I suppose.....well anyway what did I tell you about going out around without an umbrella, you're going to get sick"

"Oh yeah about that....I....couldn't find it"

You felt your girlfriend glare at you even more and get angrier

"Really? It's in the stand near the door, as always"

".....sorry"

She sighed but got closer, almost side hugging you

"It's alright just don't do that again ok dear?"

"Definitely, even though I wouldn't mind if it means I get to share an umbrella with you"

Her glare got even sharper and her tone more threatening

".......y/n....."

"Sorry, just kidding, I'll definitely remember next time"

"I'll hold that to you, now let's go back home, it's already late"

You nodded and started holding martina's hand and kissed her cheek as thanks causing her to blush a bit but hold onto you even tighter while walking together

Guillaume hall

You had nothing to do but wait for guillaume to come pick you up for your date so you just started scrolling through your phone making sure to cover it with the umbrella to not get it wet

"Woooh! Look at that super hot guy over here! He must be taken by a really hot and lucky girl~"

You looked up from the phone to see guillaume grinning at you with her beautiful and sharp teeth

"Oh hey babe, I'm glad you could make it"

"Obviously, you think I'd let anything get in the way of a date with you? Not even some boring peacekeepers meeting"

She practically jumped on you and hugged you tightly, making you notice her clothes were wet for some reason

"Sooooo what should we do today? I got lots of ideas but I'm willing to let you decide if you wanna, ohhhh I should have checked the tarots for advice, silly me"

"Before that, why are you covered in water? Did you not bring your umbrella?"

"Oh yeah about that, my horoscope said that if I didn't bring my umbrella when I go out something really romantic would happen, aaaaaand since I had to go on a date with you I thought it had to come true"

".....that was.....a very specific horoscope"

"Eh, I've had more specific ones, now come on let's go, I can't wait for that really romantic moment"

"Wait I can't let you get even wetter, at least get under an umbrella"

"....wait.....so that means....you and I.....are sharing an umbrella?"

"Y-yeah is there an issue with-"

"Kyaaaah that's so so so romantic, you and I holding onto each other under one umbrella with the rain pouring in around us...that's so sweet and romantic and perfect, oh my fortune telling was right as always"

".....sure, just get here"

"Of course love"

Guillaume hugged you again and put her head on your shoulder while smiling brightly

"Just make sure you hold that umbrella over both of us for the entire day, it's so cute like this okay? Okay~!"

"Yeah I was going to do it anyway"

Iruka

*Bang*

One last bullet hit the wooden target straight in the head as iruka looked at it proudly before turning to you

"So.....how was I?"

"You were great ruka, I think you did even more headshots than last time"

"I don't know.....I don't keep count....but thank you....having you here is nice"

"Don't mention it, you know I love watching you practice"

Hearing that iruka's face darkened and she grinned entering her more.....unhinged personality

"Oh yes, my love watching massacre those targets like I'd do to anyone who hurts him, how perfect! I'm glad you like it darling"

"...o-ok anyway, are you ready to go?"

"Yes, let's go"

Iruka put on her hood and you opened your umbrella, putting it over her when you realized she didn't have one

"Hm?"

"What? Something wrong?"

"No it's just......"

Suddenly iruka grabbed the umbrella you were holding and tore it out of your hands, before putting it in basically the same position it was in before

".....I could have....held the umbrella"

"You're the one without an hood, you need to be protected"

"......from the rain?"

"Yes"

Arguing with her would have been pointless, so you just stood closer to her under the umbrella as she held onto you tighter and tighter

"Are you comfortable?"

"Yeah, you're strong but it's nothing that hurts me"

"Good, if it starts to hurt tell me"

"Yeah don't worry"

"And if the rain hits you tell me too"

"Hehe, sure, what are you gonna do? Shoot the clouds?"

"..............."

"Oh my God ruka did you actually think about doing that"

ngl I've been increasingly struggling with the use of feminizing language and "but make them women" stuff in my main fandoms, all of which are about queer Asian men. It's always bothered me but I feel like it's bothering me even more now, and I'm not sure if that's because it's become more prevalent or if I'm getting more sensitive to it. I just can't help but want to point out, like...

1. If yall want women and lesbians... you know there are fandoms... with women and lesbians... right? Women and lesbians are great! I'm begging you to go read stories that actually are about them.

2. Like seriously if you want stories about women why are you in the gay guy bl fandom

3. White fans please unpack why you think that lithe Asian gay man needs to be a woman, needs to be pregnant, why you are calling him breedable, or babygirl, or malewife. Like I am begging people who do this to spend five minutes considering why they do, why you think it's okay, why it's maybe different than saying even the same things about white people, like yall just collectively forgetting decades of racist feminizing language weaponized against Asian men.

I'm not saying anything I haven't said before but it's just been really A Lot recently if I have to see one more post about any MXTX character needing to be a breedable malewife maid I'm going to scream.

Note: this is NOT about trans head canons or trans stuff. I love trans masc and trans fem stuff. Don't stop.

(Disclaimer: I am also white.)

Also note like... this isn't about any specific fan having a preference. People like mpreg. People like gender swaps. That's great! I support an individual's preferences! But just because behavior is okay on an individual level, that doesn't mean it doesn't start to get a little awkward at a collective fandom level. And idk, it's hard to divorce my personal discomfort with some of these things from an assessment of if it's actually ~a problem~ so maybe I'm just not recognizing my own issues here, but... yeah. I keep starting to write more then deleting it so I guess I'll shut up now.

Transcript:

Phoenix arrives home exhausted after a long day. He can’t wait to slide into bed next to Dawn. It seems impossible to sync up their schedules lately, and he’s missing her a lot.

When he walks into the living room, he’s surprised to find her asleep on the couch.

He crouches down and strokes her hair, feeling almost guilty for waking her.

Phoenix: Hi. Dawn: You’re home. Phoenix: Yep. You must’ve been tired, you’re still in your work clothes. Dawn: So tired.

He stands to help her up, but she doesn’t move, doesn’t even open her eyes. Phoenix: Do you want to come to bed? Dawn: Mhm. I’ll be there in… in just a minute. Phoenix: [unconvinced] Right.

---

The two of them wake up the next morning on the couch, still in their clothes from the day before, and wrapped in each other’s arms. Their alarm is beeping faintly from the bedroom down the hall.

Phoenix squeezes Dawn tight before forcing himself to sit up.

Phoenix: Good morning. Dawn: G’morning. When did you get home? Phoenix: Around eleven. I tried to wake you. Dawn: I know. I was so tired, I couldn’t move. Thanks for staying with me. Phoenix: Of course. It feels like sleeping is the only thing we do together these days. I wasn’t going to miss it.

Dawn: Ough, I know, we need a vacation. Phoenix:  We do. Where should we go? Dawn:  Hmm, somewhere tropical. I want to drink cocktails on the beach and swim with dolphins. Phoenix: Oh, that’s different. Dawn: I know. I know you prefer the snow, but— Phoenix: No, let’s do it.

Dawn: Really? Phoenix: Yes, really. It’ll be fun to go somewhere new. And if you have to walk around in your bikini the whole time, then so be it. Dawn: I see. You have ulterior motives. Phoenix: Definitely.

Phoenix kisses her then, softly but in a way that makes it clear just what those motives are.

Unfortunately, the alarm is still beeping in the other room, reminding them that there’s another busy day ahead of them. They both sigh and look at each other, wishing they could soak in this rare moment together a little longer… maybe they can.

Dawn: I’ll go shut off the alarm. Will you put on a pot of coffee? Phoenix: Yep. When do you have to leave? Dawn: About an hour. How quick do you think we can get ready? Phoenix: Thirty minutes? Dawn: Ooh, ambitious.  

---

Phoenix: So, when should we do it? Dawn: Do what? Phoenix: Take a vacation.

Dawn: You tell me. You have that look. Phoenix: What look? Dawn: That I’m-asking-a-question-so-I-can-give-you-the-answer look. Phoenix: I don’t do that. Dawn: So, you haven’t already come up with a plan?

Phoenix: Okay, maybe I do that. Dawn: Mhm. So, when should we do it? Phoenix: How about August? It’s far enough in advance to plan, and it’s the last chance I’ll have before things get crazy in the fall.

Dawn: And just in time for our anniversary. Phoenix: [feigning surprise] Is it? Dawn: That sounds perfect. I have to get going though, so we’ll have to figure out the rest later.

Phoenix: What time will you be home tonight? Dawn: Six. Seven, at the latest. Will you be here? Phoenix:  I’ll try to be. Dawn: Okay. I love you. Phoenix: I love you too.

Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.

Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!

It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!

I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha

I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then

I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...

The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.

It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.

Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.

I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.

I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.

I just love how you can tell that Hille is super excited and happy to be in Japan. Like he doesn't write texts or anything but just the amount of stuff he puts in his story very much tells zu everything you need to know

[arttsuka]

You don't have to draw all the requests sent your way! As you get more popular (and you will because your art is good) that will become literally impossible to do. I promise you not a single art blog answers every single ask.

But, but I HAVE to you don't understand :( the pressure is killing me, I don't want to disappoint people

[moonchild-in-blue]

I haven't really done much art for tumblr (at all) lately, cus life, but! Here's a lil something I've been working on (it's a Xmas gift) 💙

(also peep that lil January calendar painting 👀 i did mini squares for each month for myself, because I need to have a physical one always, and they each have their own colour 🥺)

y'all i've been upset about nanowrimo's shenanigans since last year, when kids weren't safe, and now there's this AI shitshow, and i want to cry about it again, because nano has been SO IMPORTANT to me since 2008--it helped me hack my writing process and make a bunch of cool shit, and i've written so many stories i love using it as a jumping off point. but. we gotta protect kids, and we gotta get the fuck out of here with AI bullshit.

so. the decision i have come to is that i will still be participating in nano. but now it stands for "now a's [that's me] novel writing month." i'm still going to write a book in november, and i'm still going to shoot for the 1,667 words/day (even though my finished projects wind up way longer than that, invariably), because i've structured my creative life around this routine, but i won't be using their site any more.

i will also not be tagging my november project posts as nanowrimo, but i WILL still be tagging them as "nano[YEAR]" (because that's been my tagging system for untitled projects for uh. years.). and it's now a's novel writing month :)
