i have a lot of favorite mdzs talking points but rn my favorite is how lan xichen being forced to live is a fate crueler than dying in guanyin temple
#i love a husk of a man who will never truly return to the person he used to be. a man who died in that temple and walked out of it.#i love 3zun that missed out on the poetic circular tragic ending and instead ended more fragmented than it began.#tagging for organization#mdzs

I have trembled before G-d in lonely adoration. At threadbare hours of the morning, During a merciless storm that dared bend the trees. I prayed to my G-d. I pray to my G-d, but I do not pray to yours. I have fallen in love with the G-d of Moses, of Abraham, of Isaac. The G-d of thunder, of justice, of duty to the sick. I keep Them with me, and go on in the world carrying Their duty. But what of your G-d? Does He not tell you of your duty to the subjugated, to the oppressed, to the helpless? Who is this G-d you pray to, that - you use His name to justify the killing of men, of women, of children? In the name of your LORD, you kill countless. You orphan countless. You leave them to become carrion, unable to return to the Earth. You use your G-d to justify this endless hunger for blood, And carefully conceal your lust for power in the filthy cloak of righteousness. You worship the death machine.
G-d is not smiling upon you. And one day, They will drown you in the blood you have spilled. It will fill your houses, and you will choke on it. You may not feel the endless weight of your guilt, but you will surely be crushed by it. G-d does not tolerate idolatry.
#fragments#you get my writing. once.#read that article i reblogged on main and had to dig this one up#because it really resonated with me. i wrote this back at the start in october and thought about submitting it somewhere but got scared#i have strong feelings about how zionists use their faith to justify genocide#how could you? how could you do this?#and i wonder of the zionists at my temple. i hope they are starting to realize what's actually happening#and i hope they feel incredibly fucking guilty.#i shook with rage when i found out my rabbi supported the genocide. and dared to present herself as an authority for questions#so i wrote this about it.

I think what people really mean by Twitter being 2015!Tumblr is that the age demographic of Tumblr has changed (based on polls, I think the age group with the biggest user size is early-mid twenties), a lot of shitstirrers left for Twitter in the Purge of 2018, a lot of guys who used Tumblr for p*rn also left in 2018 (seriously, when I interacted with a guy at uni once who wanted in my pants I mentioned Tumblr because I am socially inept and he was like, oh the website for p*rn? *smirk* and I was like no I use it for my Reylos... he was wearing a Star Wars t-shirt, it's a long story) and obviously in general anybody else who used it for that reason also left, but you know exactly what sort of demographic I'm talking about - far be it from me to unturn that stone, I understand it's a mixed issue - and then overall you've got the fact that Tumblr is slightly better than it was, but it's not perfect.
I do think platform culture influences the way people interact with each other, and there are definitely ways you can fit somebody's interaction patterns into a typology - but the style of detraction you might see in Reddit comments is exactly the stuff you see on Twitter and it is the thing you encounter on Tumblr. Because Tumblr allows you to run your own personal blog, though, you have much more control over your interaction style. If Reddit is a free debate space, Tumblr is curated by comparison.
But it's also just a human nature thing lol. There are plenty of teenagers who have growing up to do on here (I was one of them) and you see a lot more on platforms popular with teenagers (Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram) which changes the site culture. But I also think that teenagers need their own space to be edgy and get the angst out of the way. It's just much harder to do that when the platforms they're on also encourage putting your face, name, where you live etc. on it.
I find it a fascinating question because I don't think the Internet is wholly iredeemable and clearly we get some joy out of it - the things which concern me about the Internet have parts to do with social media and some not. I want to know what it is that makes Tumblr a pleasant site to use for hobbyist purposes. I can write longform posts, and consider topics which interest me, and curate my experience - by in large the the site has a slightly more mature userbase...
I also had on my mind recently how hard it is to write posts where you have people coming to you with the worst interpretation of what you've said. I think I am starting to accept again that I can't control that and people will read into what I'm saying because that's what they're looking for. That's something which still happens on Tumblr. It's a product of the Internet medium where it's very hard to clarify something you've said the way you could mid-conversation, and the fact that generally people are quite defensive. It feels like a combative space at times.
The real point I'm sort of trying to make is that like, part of what makes Tumblr a good platform is a consequence of its medium - it's a microblogging website - and part of it is a consequence of the userbase evolving. But I also think that loyal userbase is a consequence of what it offers in contrast to what others don't. Equally, issues with Tumblr aren't necessarily specific to platform, and I'd go so far as to venture that to be true of other social media websites. It's just very apparent that there are very bad decisions being made with them killing all user goodwill and reason to use them, but the myopic eye of short-term gains does not care for long-term growth and stability. It's a pretty sobering realisation to know that most of those guys up there think you're as dumb as a rock and will just take what you get. It's not some big conspiracy. They just think their site users are dumb. It's a pretty haunting and narrow view of humanity lol. There is no honour in it and yeah, it is actually nonsensical even from the view of a capitalist philosophy, because why would you willingly kill something with great brand and cultural foothold? Why would you abandon something that makes the platform what it is? This goes for Tumblr with its changes to the dashboard from Following (seeing things your followers post) to For You (algorithm).
#I censored the word p*rn because of Tumblr search#sorry about that#stirring the pot#I'm sorry I just find this stuff interesting because so much of it is actually very new#but I also find it interesting where it mimics IRL social dynamics and/or supplements it#I'm thinking of Heraclitus leaving fragments of his philosophy in the temples#where he intentionally wrote it so that it would be opaque except to men who practised philosophy#that's why his aphorisms are the way they are#afaik. don't quote me as a professional source. this is from a few years back lol

Vanimelde! Interesting! I think MĂriel seems like the easy answer to many people (including me lol) coming from the angle of *what happened to them* but I think you had a good point approaching this question from *what they believe in*! I definitely hesitate at AncalimĂŤ, the one who has the most brawling energy.
Tbh it never occurred to me that MĂriel would be angry at Eru (pre-drowning at least), but it makes a lot of sense, and I've been thinking about that since I voted and saw the partial results of that pool!
Glad u agree about AncalimĂŤ's brawling energy! Definitely see her younger self brawling other girls, but also sheep and goats đ
Personally I can't really imagine a reason, in the way I see them, for the other women to be antagonistic to Eru; but because the King's Men are antagonistic to the worship of Eru, and because Vanimelde is queen when they are becoming socially relevant, it just seemed that way to me. Like why would Erendis, Ancalime, Telperien or InzilbĂŞth be mad at Eru? It seems to me that their issues are more material and social, immediate, and not with the natural order itself... It occurs to me now that this answer says more about *me* than about NĂşmenor lol, probably one of those instances where you project your way of thinking without realizing đ But out of the queens, Vanimelde is the one whose rule seems to have faced the least controversy while she was alive, and we know she was interested in at least some types of art. Idk, just seemed to me she would be more attuned with the growing dissatisfaction with the metaphysical world happening in NĂşmenorÂ
#This is also me realizing I have a very particular interpretation of the unassuming line about her enjoying dancing and music#rather than ruling#:P#could be anything really#vanimelde#nĂşmenor#akallabĂŞth#echoofthemusic#hiii echo how are you <3#i guess this all just depends on SO MUCH headcanon... How do you see the way NĂşmenorians see Eru#Which is already bound to be an extremely fragmented answer#If the worship of Eru was anything like idk catholicism I would have imagined Miriel mad at him more easily#but it seems way more subtle than that#like in many ways I think Sauron is the one who invents catholicism in NĂşmenor -- after a fashion#but heâs the one with a temple and ceremonies and stuff#sauron invented having to go to mass in nĂşmenor is def a headcanon I have :P

[ CF/ ENTITY - 9899: SPOKEN SLOTH ]
"â Hey Mika, hold on, let me check out this cipher on the wall. Who knows might be important.
â Fine, but we need to hustle it after this. Abe one is still waiting for us on the other side of the ridge over there.
â I'll be quick, no worries.. let me see.. two-way camera in place, sweet.. so what, dafuck dose this say..
"Fremelaguardia, keeper of song.. watches over the Ki's temple, he takes the air.. a void of sound. Ehhmm.. By mornings, breath is born again.. a rage of speed Slhoto be.". slhoto? Eh.. ok.. this next part says something about speed, i think.. it ends with something, something, Nights Breath.. Ahhehh... I can't read shit, i swear to god a bear or something has been wiping its ass on this thing.."
[Mika can be seen on screen in shock as the giant entity rises from the ground. While his weapon can be seen immediately firing on CF-9899, no sound of any kind can be heard from him.
Thankfully, Agent Mika appears to have been capable of hearing Agent Gomez as he spoke and discovered that CF-9899 would Mimick the speed of its enemy, making it simple to avoid its movements in slow motion.
Unfortunately, this made the situation difficult, as the creature would not stop following them whilst also trying to kill them.
Attempting to shoot it was proven pointless as the Entity would mimicks the speed of the bullet it self an use it to try to attack them with a burst of speed or, in some cases, simply dodge the bullet for its own sake.
Agent Gomez and Agent Mika had to travel in slow motion for 5 hours until they were able to meet up with Abe 1 for sopport in the LZ.
In the process, Agent Mika lost an arm.]

Initiation!
Synopsis. âJust a small initiation, nothing too serious.â Couldnât be too hard, right? So why are you - the all-new frat sweetheart - being pinned to the bed and stuffed full from all ends by your frat brothers?
Pairing. Gojo Satoru x Reader, Geto Suguru x Reader, Fushiguro Toji x Reader, brief Nanami x Reader
Content. MDNI, fem! reader, fratboy! JJK men, gangbang, frat sweetheart! reader, cumplay, choking, oral (male + female), anal, double penetration, cunnilingus, Suguru is MEAN - so is everyone else, some heinous things idek how to tag, unprotected, no curses! AU, marking, pet names (princess, darling, doll), swearing.
Word count. 4.8k
A/N. Am not the same person I was before I wrote thisâŚ
Art by @_3aem on X.
Tequila was your best friend when Suguru and Satoru werenât around.
Which is probably why you were five shots deep before 9pm, heavy bass thrumming through your veins and sleek tabletop steady under your rocky heels.
Everything was a blur. The pulsing neon lights, cheers following your every sway and twirl, and the atmosphere heavy with beer and laughter in that heady Jujutsu Phi frat house.Â
You almost miss that familiar flash of cloudy white locks and those narrowed black eyes greedily watching your hips to the beat. Almost.Â
An excited exclamation of âThereâs our all-new sweetheart!â. And the world tilts.
Falling down really does feel good. Especially when the ground is so warm - and smells faintly of overpriced cologne.Â
âCareful, there, Satoru. Wouldnât wanna hurt the sweetheart right before initiation.âÂ
A pair of strong arms underneath you, and a deep voice hot against your ear. âHavinâ a lotta fun without us, huh?â
Oh, youâd recognize those devastatingly handsome faces anywhere. You blink, eyebrows furrowed slightly at your best friends as you tried to focus on their words. âSweetheart? Me?â
To your right, Suguru nods slowly, a sly smile playing on his lips. âAbsolutely. Who else? No one better we can think of, darling.âÂ
Satoruâs eager voice chimes in, âAs presidents, and the only men to binge Bridgerton with you, we love you. The frat brothers love you too, especially our supervisor.â
âMmm, I dunno. What do I hafta do?â face heating and words slurring together, in your alcohol-induced haze, you miss the devilish glance shared between the two.Â
Satoru chuckles, a dark glint in his eyes, âJust a small initiation, nothing too serious.â
Your laughter is infectious, and without much hesitation you raise your empty shot glass in toast, âHmm, deal! To the newest frat sweetheart! How hard can it be?â
---
The consequences arenât half as fun as the chaos.
Wincing at the dull ache reverberating in your head, you struggle to make sense of your surroundings in the dim lighting. Still disoriented and bleary-eyed, you sink into soft navy bed sheets.
Ah, soft. So soft. Warm, with a tinge of candied apples.
Satoru.
Slight panic setting in, and Satoruâs room swaying ever-so-slightly, you try to will away the overplayed pop pounding from the party still raging below - focusing on the whispered conversation at the foot of the bed..
â---blast at the party------â
â------frat---sweetheart.â
Head snapping up in a daze, the word âsweetheartâ echoes in your ears.Â
Something heated and prickly pools in your stomach as fragments of memories from not too long ago begin to piece themselves together.Â
Your dawning realization - and sense of impending doom - is interrupted by a soft hum of delight
âWell, well, look whoâs finally awake - our dear sweetheart.â Satoru teases, while Suguru, with his arms crossed, chuckles.
Liquor suddenly nowhere on your mind, your heart races - something about the suggestive gleam in their eyes doesnât exactly ease your nerves. Your cheeks flare, the room feels suddenly smaller, the air thicker.Â
You sit up, rubbing your temples, and the two of them exchange loaded glances that send shivers creeping down your spine.
Satoru pushes himself off the wall with a devious smirk, taking a deliberate step closer. âHowâs our sweetheart feeling? You knocked out for a good hour or two, yâknow. Was almost worried youâd miss the initiation~â
âWhat the fuck did I agree to?â you mutter to yourself. Yet, Suguru answers anyway, his voice a dangerous purr, âJust a little test of courage, darling. But donât you worry; weâll take very good care of you.â
Satoru nods, his gaze intense. âItâs all in good fun, princess. Youâll see.â His warm breath grazes your face as they tower over you, inching closer and closer. âNow, you wouldnât go back on your word, would you?â
Goosebumps erupt along your shoulders at the proximity - and the realization - all the way down to where your thighs were desperately squeezing together. Shit.
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru. It was hard to be best friends with them for years and not hear about the whispered rumors of how they were in bed. Enough to send a woman to heaven - or the hospital - they said. And you couldnât deny that ugly little part of you that was sinfully curious.
A beat passes in the suddenly charged air. As if they were waiting. Studying your reaction - like predators stalking their cornered prey. Will you run away? Will you fight? Will you submit to them completely?
The room is silent, except for the distant thump of the music below, seemingly miles away.Â
One. Two
Finally - not trusting yourself to speak - you manage a nod.Â
Darkened blue eyes meet Suguruâs half-lidded ones, a silent understanding passing between them before resting on you - splayed out on the bed and tight dress hiking up so enticingly.
Oh.Â
Oh, shit. You were in for it.
Without warning, Satoru surges forward, lips catching yours in a bruising kiss. You whine against his soft lips, the distinct taste of Baileys and Satoru completely filling your senses - you almost donât register the slow, purposeful trail of kisses Suguru leaves down your heated neck. Almost.
Skin searing where his lips linger along your jawline, Suguru murmurs, vibrations sending a jolt of electricity right to your core. âShhh, relax, darling. Weâll take care of everything.â
Maybe it was the way Suguruâs words were dripping in lust and something dangerous, tongue darting out to lick a long, sensual stripe up your neck.
Or maybe it was the way Satoru was sloppily licking at your lips, thumb pushing your chin down to suck on your tongue with his candy lips. But the room was spinning - and this time, it wasnât the alcohol.Â
âT-Toru- Sugu-â a muffled whine you barely even recognize rips from the back of your throat - and it was like something snapped. Maybe their restraint, maybe their sanity - definitely you by the end of this.
A hand hot on your thigh - Suguruâs or Satoruâs? You donât have the time to wonder, the sequins hit the ground before you even realize what is happening.Â
Skin-tight dress now in tatters on Satoruâs carpeted floor, you shudder as the cold air hits your heated skin. Large hands everywhere. Cupping your ass, tweaking your hardened nipples through your bra. Leaving your underwear in such a disarray as if it killed them to see you clothed.
âShit. Suguru, look at this.â Satoruâs groans lowly, predatory gaze transfixed on the sight of your dripping cunt..
âOh fuck, darling. Were you all ready and expecting this, hm? Our perfect lilâ slut.â Suguruâs smiles sinfully as he looms closer, a long finger playing teasingly with the thin fabric of your now-soaked panties.
You buck your hips, desperate for more fiction, as a manicured nail lightly grazes your swollen folds. Shit, and you thought Suguru would be the nicer of the two. âPlease, Sugu.â
âNow now. Behave, darling. Wouldnât want to get off on a wrong start to the initiation.â Suguru hums, pulling off your panties completely as Satoruâs iron-hold grip on your hips pin you helplessly to the bed. You struggle pathetically, leaking pussy aching for more more more.
And Satoru - your ever-merciful Satoru - listens to your desperate keens. Because, agonizingly slow, he drops to his knees, eye-level with your quivering pussy.Â
âIâll be taking this as payment, princess.â he hums, hot breath hitting your cunt in a way that almost makes you miss the way he snatches your wet panties right out of Suguruâs hands. As if a prize to be won.
Your face burns at the humiliation - or maybe at the way strong hands wrestle your thighs open. You gasp at the burn of the stretch, tense air grazing your throbbing clit as Suguru lets out a low whistle in appreciation.
You were so exposed. So vulnerable. And these fuckers hadnât even taken off their goddamn shirts yet.Â
Mouth opening to retort - or maybe beg for an ounce of friction, just anything that would-
Bang!
Dazed, you whirl your head towards where the door had now slammed open. In your lust-induced haze, you barely register the notion that someone else was going to see you so spread so shamefully and dripping all over Satoruâs sheets. Ah, they were going to scream. They were going to run away-
âAww, already started without me?â a deep voice rumbles, raspy, dangerous. âShit, these two brats werenât kiddinâ, youâre such a doll, arenât you?âÂ
Satoruâs smirk grows at the slick pooling at your core as you make out just who it was that stood so imposingly at the door.Â
Toji Fushiguro.
Someone youâd heard of more than youâd seen - for several reasons. Known around campus as the long-standing supervisor for Jujutsu Phi, but known more popularly amongst students as the man with a dick to die for.
The shutting of the heavy wooden door reverberates across the electrifying air inside. Your mouth drops into a soft oh as you spot the rock-hard cock straining furiously against Tojiâs trousers, a dark patch of precum already pooling at the tip.
Oh. No wonder they say his dick can split you in half.Â
Eyes following his every purposeful step towards the bed, you absent-mindedly wonder whether your best friends were hiding a matching achingly hard cocks.Â
âOh, fuck yes. Such a pretty pussy.â Toji appraises your cunt, greedily eyeing the way your walls flutter around nothing, slick pooling where Satoru was but a few inches away from where you needed him the most.
âYo, old man. Catch.â Satoruâs voice rings in the loaded air. Muscled arms flexing, Toji easily catches the flimsy piece of fabric thrown at him, a lecherous smile growing as he realizes what it is. âMâgonna have a lot of fun with you, doll.â
âDonât count us out now, Toji. Iâll be making sure sheâs absolutely ruined.â Suguruâs slow, sinful drawl has your head spinning.
Probably for the first time in his life, Satoru doesnât speak.
Instead, he dives nose-deep in your cunt. Pretty ruby lips meeting your swollen ones, urgently lapping up your sweet juices, as if a man dying of thirst.
âHah- Oh! Toru!â you whine, hips bucking up into his hot tongue as he bullies past your folds and into your quivering entrance, hurried yet methodical. You could feel Satoruâs lips curling at the lewd whimpers ripping from your throat. Bruising grip on your hips pulling you impossibly deeper onto his greedy tongue.Â
He wastes no time - stretching you out on his tongue so sinfully, dipping in and out of your dripping hole at a merciless pace. In and out in and out in and-
âHope you didnât forget us, darling. Iâd be heartbroken.â Suguruâs mocking words ring in your ears. Not completely present with Satoruâs dizzying abuse on your cunt, you can do nothing as Suguru snakes a hand down to your heated core.Â
âDonât move, doll.âÂ
And before you know it, two more sets of hands are unforgivingly on you.
All you can do is just lay there and take it as Suguruâs cruel, slender fingers tease your folds, up and down up and down - pointedly skipping your throbbing clit. A languid, sadistic smile spreads across his face as you whine in desperation.
Where Satoru was generous and impatient, Suguru wanted to make you cry. How could you ever have thought heâd be the nice one?
Hasty lips are on yours now, a small scar rubbing your lips in a way that so obscenely reminded you of the tongue still ruthlessly fucking into you right now. Pulling away mere centimeters, Toji murmurs lowly, âOpen your mouth.â
As if on auto-pilot, you groan as Toji's steady stream of spit hits your ready tongue. Eyes rolling to the back of your head at the warm feeling, tasting of sin and everything you shouldnât be doing.
Thick, calloused fingers squeeze your cheeks together, his spit now drooling down the corner of your mouth. âNow, show me what those pretty lips can do.â Toji grits out.Â
Your eyes widen as he pulls down his pants just enough for his furiously hard cock to spring free, sculpted thighs straddling the side of your face.Â
Thick and unforgiving. A prominent vein twirling delicately down his monstrous length. Precum leaking onto his sculpted abdomen, dripping erotically down to mix with your soaked underwear in his veined hand gripping the base.
Nervous eyes flitting between Tojiâs bulging cock in front of you, to the slick dripping down Suguruâs wrist, and Satoruâs hooded eyes, miles away, and grinning devilishly around your cunt - youâre sure of one thing - youâd be damn lucky to make it out alive.
Tojiâs throbbing head pokes your kiss-bitten lips, precum salty on your tongue. He spares no mercy.
âCâmon now. If youâre actinâ like such a cockslut then learn to take it like one.â Searing grip on your hair, Toji pushes his cock all the way down your ready throat, using your mouth as if it was nothing more than his favorite fucktoy. Maybe youâll become his favorite fucktoy.
Your pathetic, wet gurgles mix with the lewd squelches of your cunt as Tojiâs heavy balls hit your chin. Fat head hitting the back of your throat and your nose pressed into the tufts of thick, black hair at his pelvis. âMmm fuck yeah.â he groans, thick fingers pressing around your neck to feel his dick down your throat.Â
Drawing low hisses as you tongue at his slit, you breath in the heady scent of Toji and you on your panties and Toji-
âLook sâpretty gagging on his cock, darling.â Suguruâs voice is still silken smooth, mockingly pressing a kiss to your cheek. Pooling the trail of spit and precum on his tongue, before licking a long, languid stripe.
âF-fucking freak.â Toji huffs out a laugh, relishing the way you moan so lewdly around his cock. âOh? You like that, doll? Little slut, arenât ya?â
A dangerous chuckle, and heâs thrusting animalistically into your poor, pretty mouth. Balls tightening each time his thick cock disappears into your mouth, lips stretching almost-painfully to accommodate him. Tojiâs hand closes tighter around your throat, blocking your airway. Making you choke and gasp for air around his cock, blood roaring in your ears.
Shit, he was going to break you.
Suguruâs clever mouth was on your aching tits now, jolts of electricity going straight to your cunt as he tweaks and teases your hardened nipples. Thumb rubbing harshly over your sensitive tip the way he wouldnât with your clit. Over and over-
âSuguru, gimme the bra.â you whine, hips bucking as Satoruâs muffled words send vibrations exactly where you wanted.
In a flash, your bra is unclasped and thrown to Satoru. Wrapping it around one large hand, it disappears where you cannot see. Yet the jerky, impatient movements of his hand below - up, up, up - and down have your walls clamping down desperately on Satoruâs tongue.
Ah, he looked so pretty when he was shut up with his mouth full of your dripping cunt. Fucked out whimpers leave Satoruâs throat at each flick of his tongue, fucking your pretty pussy with his mouth till you felt raw.
Suguru - the ever-graceful Suguru - had his brows furrowed desperately. Lips messy with spit as he bites and teases your nipples hard, making you cry out in wet, little gurgles that muffle around the throbbing erection in your mouth, fucking into you with reckless abandon. Tojiâs heavy balls stinging your face as he bottoms out with each harsh shove down your throat.Â
He didnât care if you could breathe - as long as you sucked the ever-loving soul out of him.
The heady air is urgent now. Hasty movements now becoming more and more frenzied. Mindless with lust. Filthy. Debauched. It was so fucking sinful.Â
So it only made sense that your orgasm was the same.
You see white as you cum - or maybe that was the hot, thick ropes of seed that Toji painted your face with. Moans muffled and hips bucking deliriously, you moan breathlessly as neither of the three men give up their relentless abuse.Â
Your head shot up blindly in pleasure, sharp teeth digging into your shoulder - hard enough to break skin. Suguru.Â
Wrestled down onto the bed by three sets of strong arms still groping the expanse of your body, you ride out your white-hot high on the taste of Toji slipping down your throat, Satoruâs still merciless tongue, and Suguruâs index finally pressing down on your throbbing clit. Hard.Â
Blood roaring in your ears, your vision blurs as you sink into the mattress. You think youâre in heaven, and it was only fitting that these demons with angelic faces were the first things that you see there.
âYou alright, darling? Canât have you go passing out on us mid-initiation, now.â Suguru tuts, sharing a glance with Satoru, who was absolutely dripping in satisfaction - and your slick, prettily glossing his lips and nose.
âMmm- sâfucked out. Ah-â Your violent climax leaves you limp, and you feel like a fucking ragdoll with the way Suguru wraps a steady arm around your waist, pulling you impossibly close against him. You whine as your stinging tits meet his toned body, sticky with the heat of the room. When did he even take his shirt off?Â
Satoru isnât too far behind, with little care for the buttons flinging across the room as he rips his shirt open - creamy chest peeking out in all its chiseled glory. Shit.
You almost miss the bed shifting as Toji sits on the edge, watching the three of you with greedy eyes as he fists his cum-covered cock with your panties. Teasing, purposeful movements up his length.
Suguruâs hand stroking your face, Satoruâs on your hips.
âAfter all that princess, you deserve a little treat.â Satoru purrs lowly, lips glistening with your juices and breath hot against your ear. Shivers run along your spine - right down to where he was groping and playfully swatting your ass. Darkened eyes narrowed at the way it jiggled against his large hands.Â
âT-treat? Wha-âÂ
Your disoriented stammers are stuck in your throat as Suguru shoves two long fingers into your mouth. Whatever moans leaving your lips are choked and muffled as he forces you to taste yourself.Â
Fingers intertwining with your tongue, youâre delirious with the want for more more more - and evidently, Suguru is too, throbbing and leaking with need as he pushes his soiled boxers down. Something cold makes you flinch as your quivering thigh grazes his clothed erection.Â
Oh. Who knew your best friend had a dick piercing?
âFuck, darling. Really shouldâve done this sooner.â he murmurs, voice thick with lust and more to himself than you. âMhm. You donât know how hard it was to not bend you over and stuff you till you canât speak, princess~â a whisper from behind you - Satoru.
Before you know it, Satoruâs lips find yours in a fiery kiss amidst it all. As if he couldnât get enough of the sweet taste of your cunt - and probably never will.Â
Suguru is languid and unhurried where Satoru is impatient and starved, rutting desperately against your ass.Â
Every twirl of Suguruâs finger is deliberate, leaving a trail of lingering electricity in its wake. And with searing passion, Satoruâs tongue tastes you in all the ways he possibly could. The three of you tangled in an unholy act.Â
Fuck, it was messy. So fucking messy.Â
Delicate strings of saliva and slick connecting you to the two as drool drips down the corner of your mouth, eyes scrunched closed at the sinful pleasure.
âFucking freaks.â Toji spits out, eyeing Satoruâs fingers inching closer and closer to your ass, deftly prodding at your quivering entrance. Yet, his movements only grow more urgent, fucking his fist in desperate need to cum - to cum all over you once more.
Satoru pulls away, and you shiver at the cold feeling of his saliva hitting your rim. Once. Twice. Thrice just to watch the way your hole quivers so obscenely for him.Â
In the haze of the pure want of the three men around you, it slowly dawns on you that they wonât stop until theyâve fucked you half to death. And you cunt clenches in anticipation.Â
Maybe you really were a little slut.Â
Suguru only has his flushed tip kissing your folds, but you already feel so fucking full. Maybe it was the way Satoru was now bullying long, pale fingers through that first, tight little circle of muscle. Scissoring you open, hooking a thumb to stretch your slutty hole till he was more than satisfied.Â
Through the corner of your eye, you watch Toji. Eyes half-lidded, gaze locked with yours, and looming closer towards you.Â
Before you knew it, a rough hand grasps yours, wrapping so daintily around Tojiâs fat, leaking tip. Guiding your hand, thumbing his slit to pull his dick in harsh, mindless pulls to get off. It has your sensitive cunt so heated and dripping, slick trailing down your shaky legs.Â
âSuguru, think our little sweetheart is ready? Donât think I can hold back any longer, all her pretty holes are begging me to fuck her.â
You werenât going to make it out alive. Maybe you didnât want to.
He doesnât wait for a response. Your surprised yelps are gagged on Suguruâs fingers as Satoru sheaths himself in your ready hole. A low groan ripping from his throat as you clamp down on him, struggling to bear with the delicious stretch. Your eyes roll to the back of your head, despite the panic setting in, as he pushes deeper and deeper. Inch by inch. âFuck sâtight. So tight, princess.â
Was he even halfway in? He had to be, right?
Arm now burning with the feeling of Toji fucking his throbbing erection into your fist, you risk a glance behind you, catching a glimpse of the deliciously flushed cock pressing into you. Long, pale, so pretty - so Satoru.Â
Chuckling at the dilemma on your face, Suguru hums. âNow, Satoru. That hardly seems fair. Donât be greedy.â And at that last word, Suguruâs leaking tip pushes past your entrance - thick , with a long vein running down the middle, cold metal of his piercing making your walls twitch - grunting at the resistance that came with being so fucking full from both ends.Â
âJust getting to fucking her already. Look at the pretty doll, so eager to please. Sheâs begging for it.â you moan at Tojiâs impatient comment, his precum coating your hand a pretty gloss. Youâre fucking yourself in mindless, shallow, bounces that have you split open on both throbbing cocks.Â
Satoruâs hand snaking down to wildly draw circles on your clit, jolting at the overstimulation, whine deliriously as both Satoru and Suguru bottom out inside of you.Â
Deep moans bouncing off the walls - tight, so tight. You were going to make them pass out. Or worse, cum before you.
âSâalright hah- Fuck!â Suguru can barely get the words out, youâve never seen Suguru - all grace and poise - lose his composure like this. A slave to desire. And if Suguru was losing control then Satoru was on the edge of absolute insanity, darkened eyes blown-out and short, broken whines leaving his mouth at each breath.
You, on the other hand, have never felt more awake.Â
âOh- oh fuck. Canât- Too much. Hngh-â Raspy moans ripping from your throat at each little movement, hips moving in a mindless tandem with your best friendsâ as they start thrusting in slow, experimental thrusts.Â
You felt so unforgivingly full - organs secondary to the cocks splitting you apart till you could barely form sentences.
Filthy. Fucking filthy.Â
And the only place you wanted to be right now.
Pulse banging against your throat, sight spotty, you donât even know if what youâre feeling is pain or pleasure. Head only full of Satoru and Suguru and Toji and Satoru and-
âAwww, look at her- hah- Cock-drunk little whore canât even speak.â
Bruised tits bouncing as Suguru and Satoru move in sync, fucked-out, animalistic ramming of their cocks into your stretched out little pussy. Delicate tears stream down your face. Your pace on Tojiâs twitching dick now jerky, desperate movements to keep your sanity. âJusâ like that, doll. Yeah-âÂ
You could feel the burning stretch as their throbbing cocks rubbed against each other through your walls. Balls smacking against your stinging skin and their prominent veins massaging your snug cunt just right. The slapping of skin and Tojiâs squelching have your head spinning.
A wolfish bite on your exposed neck - Satoru - as he tried to keep himself together. Arching you deeper into him, thrusts stemming from a carnal, depraved part of him. Faster.
âOh. So good, princess. Hole sucking me in so good. Ah- fuck. Could do this for the rest of my life.â
âNasty girl. You love this, donât you?â Suguru purrs, amusement evident in his tone.
âY-yes! Love it! Love it Sugu- Toru-âÂ
With a harsh slap to your clit, both men speed up their pace in your sloppy holes. Relishing in the precum and slick dripping down their sensitive lengths, and the creamy rings forming around their bases.
More. More. More more more more-
This orgasm is more obscene than the last. Supported by Suguru and Satoruâs strong arms, spread open and stuffed so shamefully by their throbbing erections. Your head is thrown back, voice-shot as broken moans leave your swollen lips. Fist moving in a mindless rhythm - no reason or rhyme.
âF-fuck, darling. Gonna-â
All it takes are your half-lucid, fucked out mewls, walls wrestling with the effort to clench around them, for Suguru and Satoru to slam into you purposefully. Once. Twice. Before spilling into you in unison.Â
âHngh- Mâcumming. Oh, god mâcumming, princess. Ah! Milking me so good.â
Thick, hot ropes of cum that fill your snug holes. You could feel your stomach inflating, enough to make you feel like youâll explode.
Cock-drunk, youâre dead weight in their arms as Suguru and Satoru moan in relief, riding out their highs. Endless spurts of their seed splashing into you. It dribbles out of your overfilled cunt and ass, soiling the wet bed sheets beneath you.
Soaked in their cum, barely conscious, body aching all over. Ah, this was heaven.Â
âSwitch. Wanna cum in her pretty hole.âÂ
You jolt as Satoru snarks under his breath, pulling out his still-hard head with a lewd pop! A wave of his hot cum gushing out of your abused hole, pooling so sinfully beneath you.
Your knees buckle, brain not catching up yet. Too fucked out, your ready ass barely resists as Toji presses his rock-hard tip inside, pulsing with need.Â
âYeah, thatâs right. Take it.â Grunting lowly, veins popping out as his thick cum spurts uncontrollably from his twitching cock. Once. Twice. Thrice. Missing your hole slightly, splattering on your ass. Pushing his leaking head inside in desperate, shallow thrusts. He just needed it inside you.
Slowing to a stop, âNow, what do you say?â
âTh-thank you, daddy.âÂ
Vision blacking, you barely even register the words. Itâs all that is muttered out before Toji pulls out in one, fluid motion and youâre thrown around like a ragdoll. Suguruâs hand firmly pinning yours behind your back, glistening cock still in you, legs spread sinfully open.
He licks a long stripe down your cheek, your tears salty on his tongue. âDonât think the initiationâs done yet, darling.â
Cum leaking helplessly out of you, Satoruâs hungry gaze - blue eyes barely recognizable - meets yours. âOh, fuck. Just look at you princess. So defiled. Makes me wanna eat out all the cum inside you before pumping you full of mine again.â
âDonât cream yourself just yet, Satoru. I think weâre about to have another initiation coordinator.â
What?
Sure enough, distant footsteps steadily approach. Growing louder with each passing second, thick with anticipation.Â
Closer. And closer.
The door is suddenly thrown open, light filtering in through the door, illuminating the stern figure standing in the doorway.Â
Nanami Kento.
The frat treasurer, infamous as the devastatingly handsome impersonation of a stick up oneâs ass, known for rejecting any and every advance left and right.Â
His sharp gaze sweeps the charged room, dark eyes revealing nothing, catching on your teary, fucked out gaze, miles away. Body covered in cum and spit, marked like you were thrown to the wolves. Satoru grits his teeth with an impatient huff, looking like heâs ready to positively devour you, irritated at the interruption.Â
âWhat are you doing? This is an embarrassment to Jujutsu Phi.â
In the twinge of disappointment, you canât help but feel a brief glimmer of hope. Ah, Nanami Kento. Maybe he will be your savior - a temporary respite from the men who seem ready to eat you alive. And wonât stop till youâre not. Â
âIf youâre going to initiate her then show no mercy.â
The door slams behind him as he steps inside the heated hellhole. A cold shiver runs down your spine. Satoruâs burning whisper in your ear.
âWelcome to the brotherhood, sweetheart.â
A/N. Whew this turned out longer than expected. Tried a new formatting thing, how we liking it??

ch 3 // fractured realities
Streams of light filter in through the drapes of your bedroom, casting a soft glow across the room.
A groan escapes your lips as you feel a dull throb on your templeâa reminder of the countless glasses of wine and champagne you indulged in at the gala. But as fragmented images of the evening flood your mind, your headache doesnât end there.
You kissed Satoru Gojo.
Correctionâyou kissed the hell out of Satoru Gojo.
Each detail is more vivid than the lastâthe warmth of his breath, the firmness of his hold, the taste of him, and his soft groan that you swallowed against your lips.
God, it felt too real, too intense.
You sit up in your bed, rubbing your temples as you try to shake off the lingering effects of last nightâs revelry, but you canât ignore the fluttering sensation that stirs withinâyour cheeks growing hot from the memory.
Ugh. Being hungover and flushed is not a combination you enjoy.
When did Satoru start having such an intense effect on you?
You want to blame it on a lapse of judgementâperhaps the alcohol lowered your inhibitions? Sure, letâs go with that. That feels better than admitting that maybe you secretly wanted to kiss Satoru Gojo.
Heâs insufferable after allâyou canât stand himâŚright?
Fuck, this is confusing.
Why does it feel like there has been a subtle tension between you and Satoru that has been simmering beneath the surface for a while now, each interaction, each glance, adding fuel to the fire?
Every shared look carries an unspoken promise, every touch lingers a fraction too long, leaving your skin tingling and your heart racing. Itâs as if youâre both walking a tightrope, balancing on the edge of something profoundly transformative.
Are you imagining things?
Silently cursing yourself, you know these thoughts youâre having will only make things more complicated. This is simply a contractânothing more.
Transactional. Business.
With a deep sigh, you swing your legs over the side of the bed, hoping to shake off these intrusive throughs with a stretch of your muscles.
If only it were that simple.
Perhaps a shower will help clear your mindâa chance to cleanse yourself from the remnants of last nightâs indulgences.
Shuffling towards the bathroom, a yawn escapes your mouth as you rub your eyes tiredly, reaching for the door. But the moment you open it, you freeze in your tracks.
With nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, Satoru stands outside the shower, droplets of water glistening on his bare chest, each bead tracing the defined lines of his muscles. You canât help but notice the way the water trails down his torso, accentuating every ridge and curve. Itâs as if heâs been sculpted from marble, each detail painstakingly crafted to perfection.
For a moment, neither of you moveâa stunned silence filling the room as your eyes lock.
His damp hair sticks to his forehead in an almost boyish manner, contrasting sharply with his otherwise commanding presence, and your eyes trail downwardsâŚ
Oh.
The smooth contours of his abs carve a path down towards the towel hanging precariously low on his hips, leaving little to the imagination.
Your heart races, and you feel a blush rushing to your cheeks. Your eyes flicker back up to Satoruâs and fuck, he caught youâeyes twinkling with amusement as his lips slowly curl into a self-satisfied grin.
âGood morning to you too. Enjoying the view?â
The heat in your cheeks intensifies as your eyes widen, blinking rapidly, trying to snap yourself out of your daze.
âI... I didnât realize you were in here,â you stammer, voice higher than usual.
Satoruâs smirk widens as he reaches for an extra towel, rubbing it against his head to dry his hair. He then drapes the towel across his shoulders and meets your gaze with an alluring glint.
âWell, if you wanted to see more, you only had to ask.â
Pressing your lips together in protest, you try to regain some semblance of composure. Satoru had always teased youâdonât take it too seriously, you tell yourself.
Clearing your throat, you advert your gaze, though the crimson hue still remains on your cheeks.
âDonât flatter yourself. It was an accidentâbesides, youâre the one who forgot to lock the door.â
Satoru lets out a contemplative hum, feigning innocence as he walks towards the sink.
âGuess Iâm not used to sharing a bathroom,â he leans against the counter and crosses his arms, eyes surveying you with a mischievous glint, âYouâre to blame too though, couldâve at least knocked. Unless, you were hoping to join me?â he grins.
Your eyes widen, and you can feel the blush creeping up your neck.
âIn your dreams, Satoru.â
A low chuckle escapes him as his stare bores into youâoh how he lives for this. Satoruâs always loved seeing you flustered, but this? This is something else entirely, a new level of satisfaction he hadnât anticipated.
âSure, sure,â he pauses, then tilts his head to the side. âBut youâre still standing there, arenât you?â
You swallow hard, eyes flickering between his face and his chest, unable to decide where to look. His satisfaction grows with every falter in your gaze, his knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Each glance is a step deeper into a trap of your own making, an unspoken admission that he holds more sway over you than you care to admit.
âJust... put some clothes on, please. And yes, Iâm standing here because Iâd like to take a shower. Arenât you done? Why are you still here.â
âOh sure, Iâm done. You can shower, but arenât you gonna return the favor? Do I get a show too?â
Your breath catches in your throat at his boldness, the heat in your cheeks spreading down your neck. The intensity of his gaze pins you in place, a silent challenge that sends a shiver through your body.
âNot a chance,â you reply, trying to keep your voice steady. âThis isnât some kind of peep show.â
Satoru gives you an annoyingly innocent pout, rubbing his neck with a sly grin, eyes twinkling with amusement.
âTch. Too bad. Wouldâve been a great way to start the morning.â
You roll your eyes, pushing past him to get to the shower.
âOut,â you command, pointing towards the door.
He raises his hands in mock surrender, still chuckling as he walks out.
âAlright, alright. Enjoy your shower, princess.â
You lock the door firmly behind himâheart pounding and your thoughts in disarray. As you step into the shower and the warm water cascades over you, you canât help but replay the scene in your mind, each word and gesture etched vividly in your memory.
Heâs just teasingâyou remind yourself as you try to push away the fluttering feeling in your chest. Donât take his words seriously, your relationship is a charade.
You close your eyes, letting the water wash over you, but the confusion remains.
Fuck. This is getting complicated.
ę¨ď¸
The moment you close the door firmly behind him, Satoru leans against it for a moment, his smirk fading into a more contemplative expression.
He runs a hand through his hairâthe sight of you, wide-eyed and blushing, had done more to him than he cared to admit. Exhaling slowly, he realizes that heâs in deeper than he thought.
As his thoughts drift back to the kiss you had shared at the gala, a familiar heat pools in his lower abdomen. The way your lips had felt against hisâsoft and invitingâthe memory of your taste, the way you fit so perfectly against himâŚfuck. It stirs something primal within him.
He canât deny the growing attraction he feels. After seeing you there with your cheeks flushed and your eyes surveying him, he had wanted to pull you closer, to see if your lips were as warm and inviting as he remembered.
Satoru groans as he adjusts his towel, feeling the fabric brush against his growing erection, trying to focus on anything other than the way you looked at himâthe way the framework of your sleepwear accentuated your curves, the indent of your nipples peeking through the thin satin of your tank top. God, his desire only intensifies.
The contract was clearâno emotional entanglements. Yet here he was, aroused as his mind is consumed by you. He canât help but wonderâŚwhat would it be like to explore this connection further, to let go, to give in to his curiosity completely.
Would it be so bad to justâŚfantasize?
He hears the shower turn on from behind the closed doorâGod, he can just imagine what it would be like to slide his hands all over your bare body.
Reaching down, he unwraps the towel from his waist, his cock slamming against his abdomen as it springs free from confinement. He curses under his breath; this wasnât supposed to happen. He shouldnât be thinking of you like this, but he canât help but reach down and grip the base of his girthâhe needs this, he wants this.
He needs you.
A soft groan escapes his lips as he begins to stroke himself, his hand moving slowly as he traces a familiar path over his length. There's a dull thud as Satoru's head hits the door, his eyes fluttering shut as he gives in to his imagination.
He can picture it vividly in his mind, the way the water would slide over your body, the way you'd respond to his touch... fuck, he can practically hear the little gasps and moans that would escape your lips as he touches you, the sounds that would drive him wild.
He bites his bottom lip, his hand moving slowly, trying to be as silent as possible. The thought of you, just on the other side of the door, excites him even more.
His breath comes out in short gasps as he imagines you, wet and wanting under the spray of the shower. The way your body would arch beneath his touch as he slides his digits between your warm walls. The water would run in rivulets down your body and youâd shiver under his touch, whispering his name, begging for more.
His breathing grows heavier as he speeds up his pace, envisioning you on your knees before him, your head bowed in submission, wet and flushed, looking up at him with a half-lidded desire in your eyes.
He wants you so desperately it's painfully evident in every movementâitâs almost too much to bear.
Your name slips from his lips â a desperate plea rather than a simple invocation. Fuck, it feels so good to have your name rolling off his tongue as he does something so indecent.
He can almost feel your hot, wet tongue swirling around his sensitive head, tasting him, savoring him. His free hand trails down to cup his balls, rolling them gently between his fingers as he pumps faster, just as you would while you take every inch of him in your pretty little mouth.
âFuckâŚâ he hisses through clenched teeth, his pace quickening as he chases the release he so desperately craves.
He shouldnât be doing this, especially not right outside the bathroom door. But in this moment, he can't bring himself to care. Nothing else matters but you.
He pictures himself taking you right there, pushing you against the tiled wall, claiming your mouth in a fierce kiss as he thrusts himself deep inside you. The image of you quivering in pleasure drives Satoru further into madness. His strokes become erratic, desperate.
Satoru's entire body tenses, muscles coiling tight as he throws his head back. A desperate whine slips past his clenched teeth âFuckâŚIâm gonnaâŚâ
His hips jerk erratically, pumping his cock in time with the spasms wracking his body. He whimpers as spurt after spurt of hot cum coats his stomach and chest, the sticky fluid painting his skin with evidence of his forbidden desires. Your name falls from his lips like a prayer, each syllable punctuated by another forceful stroke as his hand continues to move, milking every last drop.
Panting heavily, he slumps against the door, his heart pounding in his chest while his spent cock twitches with residual pleasure. As he slowly comes back to reality, he realizes what he's done.
This wasn't supposed to happenâhe was meant to tease you, not end up teasing himself. But there was no denying the effect you had on him anymore.
Fuck.
What the fuck is he thinking? This canât happen again.
He needs to take another shower.
ę¨ď¸
Stepping out of the shower, you wrap a fluffy towel around your body as the warm steam curls around you. You begin to head back to your room, but the moment you open the bathroom door, you are caught off guard, immediately met by one of the house staff, holding out a freshly laundered robe.
âGood morning, maâam. Your robe.â
âThank you,â you hesitate slightly, trying to offer a polite smile.
Taking the robe, you begin to make your way to the walk-in closet, yet another staff member is waiting with a selection of outfits.
"I've picked out a few choices for today's events, Mrs. Gojo."
You take a deep breath, "Thanks, I'll take a look."
Itâs barely morning and you already have staff at your beck and callâsure, they mean well, but itâs suffocating. Youâre not one for a lot of attention.
As the staff member steps aside, you examine the array of outfits.
Your eyes scan the elegant dresses, tailored suits, and chic ensembles neatly arranged on hangers. Itâs not quite as elegant as the gala, but itâs clear that Satoru must have something important planned for the day. Each outfit exudes sophistication and class, far more extravagant than your usual attire.
As you run your fingers over the fabric of a particularly stunning dress, a ball of nerves settles within you. The thrill of wondering what Satoru has in store is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. You select the dress, hoping it aligns with whatever he has planned.
After slipping into the elegant dress, you make your way to your vanity. But just as your fingers curl around the handle of your hairbrush, a maid materializes at your side, yet again.
"Good morning, ma'am. Can I assist you with your hair today?"
Is a moment to yourself too much to ask?
Your headache from last nightâs wine lingers, and the incessant stream of people is beginning to fray your nervesâitâs really too much.
Offering another polite smile, you try to mask the mild irritation simmering beneath.
"No, thank you. I can manage.â
The maid nods and steps back, only for another staff member to glide in right behind her, almost as if choreographed.
This one carries a gleaming silver tray adorned with an array of high-end skincare products, each bottle and jar meticulously arranged, their labels promising luxury and perfection.
"Your skincare routine, ma'am."
You close your eyes momentarily, trying to remain patient, your voice as calm as you can manage.
"I appreciate it, really, but I have my own products."
The staff member hesitates, her expression a mix of confusion and professionalism.
"Of course, ma'am," she replies, inclining her head respectfully before retreating.
As the door closes behind her, you release a long, weary sigh. The constant attention is smothering, and you long for the simplicity of your old life.
Those quiet mornings, the sweet solitary moments where you could just⌠be â without the pressure of performing or living up to impossible standards.
But like it or not, this is your reality now. Guess youâll just need to find a way to navigate it without losing yourself in the process.
ę¨ď¸
By the time you make it downstairs, Haru is already seated at the elegant dining table, her small hands fiddling with her silverware. Satoru sits at the head of the table, reading through some documents.
The table is laden with a lavish breakfast spreadâperfectly arranged fruits, pastries, and an assortment of gourmet dishes. The scent threatens to overwhelm you as the lingering effects of last nightâs indulgence in wine and champagne churn in your stomach.
"Good morning," Satoru says, glancing up with a grin, looking annoyingly refreshed.
Rubbing the temple of your head, you attempt a tired smile.
âMorning.â
Satoru watches you with amusement as you slide into your seat. The rich aroma of the elaborate breakfast instantly greets your nostrils, prompting a groan to escape your lips. Â
"How are you feeling?" he quirks a brow.
"Like I drank half the wine cellar," you grimace.
Satoru leans back in his chair, his grin widening, and Haru giggles, watching you with wide curious eyes as you bury your face in your hands.
âMama sleepy,â she declares with the wisdom of a two-year-old.
âYes, HaruâŚMama is very sleepy,â you mutter, peaking at her through your fingers. Despite the hangover, that innocent laugh brings a small smile to your face.
Satoru chuckles, setting his documents aside as he reaches for his mug.
"You shouldâve stuck to the champagne, lightweight," he teases, bringing his coffee up to his lips.
You shoot him a half-hearted glare.
"Not helping."
A chef sets down a plate of perfectly arranged eggs benedict directly in front of you with a flourish, each element meticulously placed. The aroma wafts up and you instinctively push the plate away.
"Actually, do you have any toast? With jelly?" your voice tinged with a mix of disgust and desperation.
The chef looks momentarily puzzled, a slight furrow forming on his brow, but he nods politely.
"Of course, ma'am."
You abruptly get up, deciding to find it yourself. Making your way to the nearby pantry, you move with purpose as you begin rummaging through the neatly organized shelves. You feel Satoruâs amused gaze following your every move. Turning, you see him leaning back in his chair, a bemused smile playing on his lips as he watches you with evident curiosity.
âYou're like a college student after a party. All this gourmet food and you want toast?"
Your fingers brush past jars of exotic spices and imported oils until you finally find what youâre looking forâa simple loaf of bread and a jar of ruby-red jelly. The familiar, comforting sight of them brings a small, satisfied smile to your lips. You turn to Satoru, holding up the items triumphantly.
âI just want something simple.â
As you set the bread and jelly down on the counter, Haru, perched nearby with wide and curious eyes, giggles at the sight.
"Mama wants toast!" she announces gleefully, her little voice echoing through the kitchen like a bell.
A grin curls up your lips as you unclasp the bread bag.
"Yes, mama wants toast," you say, popping a slice into the toaster. Leaning casually against the marble countertop, you shift your gaze to Satoru. âAnyways Mr. Gourmet, whatâs the plan for today?â
Satoru leans back, his eyes narrowing playfully as he studies you.
"Well, I was thinking we could go over some things regarding Gojo Corporation. There are a few upcoming projects Iâve been meaning to discuss with you and Iâd like your insight."
You arch an eyebrow, mildly caught off guard by the suggestion.
"Really? You usually handle all that on your own."
He nods, the movement slow and deliberate.
"True," he concedes, "but as my wife, I think itâs time you start coming back to the office with me. I want you to be more involved, and itâs important for everyone to see us working together as a team."
Your eyes widen in surprise.
"You want me to be more involved? Iâm just a secretary."
Satoru shrugs with a casual air, but thereâs a determined edge to his voice that tells you heâs thought this through.
"Iâve taken on a lot more responsibilities lately, and I could use your help. Besides, your insights have always been valuable to me.â
You open your mouth to respond, but the sudden pop of the toaster pulls your attention away. Â Turning your focus to the toast, you carefully spread jelly across the warm slice, but the task does little to settle the fluttering sensation in your chest.
This is a big ask.
You've always been behind the scenes, a secretary who knew the inner workings but never sat at the table where decisions were made. And now, here he is, trusting you with responsibilities that feel like they belong to someone elseâsomeone more experienced, more confident.
Itâs strange, surreal even, that Satoru would entrust you with such a significant role. Even if this is just a charade, this role requires more than just understanding the business. It requires being a partner in the truest sense.
âSoâŚyouâre serious about this? Gojo Corporation, weâre doing this together now?â you ask, returning to your seat, your voice carrying a hint of uncertainty as you search his eyes for reassurance.
Satoru nods.
âAbsolutely. I think itâs time we show everyone what a true power couple looks like,â he replies, punctuating his words with a wink.
Leaning forward, he rests his chin in the cradle of his hand as he props his elbow casually on the table. His gaze locks onto yours, a glint of something more behind his deep blue eyes.
âBesides,â he continues, his voice softening slightly, âthe office just isnât the same without you.â
You take a slow bite of your toast, savoring the buttery warmth as it spreads across your tongue, but itâs nothing compared to the unexpected warmth blossoming in your chest at his words.
âYeah, right,â you murmur, âYou just want to make me do all the paperwork."
His grin broadens, the corners of his mouth lifting into that familiar, dangerously charming smile that always seems to disarm you.
"Guilty as charged."
Haru reaches out eagerly, her tiny fingers wiggling with impatience.
âToast!â she demands with all the confidence and adorable assertiveness of a two-year-old.
You tear off a small piece and place it into her eagerly awaiting hand. She takes it with a giggle, her eyes lighting up as she munches happily.
As you lift your toast back up to your lips, you catch Satoruâs gaze lingering on you. There is a subtle shift in his expressionâa depth of emotion, a certain tenderness that makes you wonder what he could be thinking.
"What?" you ask, a hint of defensiveness creeping into your tone, though youâre not entirely sure why.
He doesnât respond immediately, letting the silence stretch as a grin tugs at the corners of his lips. Thereâs a mischievous glint in his eyes as he finally speaks.
"Nothing," he eventually says with a playful yet genuine edge. âItâs just... interesting to see you choose something so ordinary.â
âSometimes less is more.â you counter, a hint of challenge in your voice. âBesides, not everyone grew up with chefs and staff at their beck and call. Itâs a bit much sometimes.â
Satoru leans back in his chair, the smirk widening as he crosses his arms over his chest.
âOh? Are you saying my lifestyle is too much for you?â
You gesture broadly around the lavish room.
"Look at all this,â you exclaim, your voice tinged with a mix of awe and exasperation. âThe staff, the gourmet meals, the constant attention. It's like I'm living in a palace. I can't breathe without someone trying to do something for me, and I canât even cook for Haru without feeling like I'm stepping on someone's toes."
The words spill out before you can catch them, each one landing with a weight you hadnât fully anticipated. Thereâs an undercurrent of something deeper in your tone, a tension that has been simmering just below the surfaceâan unease that youâve been trying to push aside, but now, in this moment, it bubbles over, impossible to ignore.
Satoruâs gaze sharpens and he arches an eyebrow as he catches the subtle shift in your demeanor.
"You miss cooking?" his voice softening with genuine interest.
âYeah, I do,â you confess, your voice tinged with a mix of longing and resignation. âItâs one of the few things that makes me feel grounded, like Iâm in control of something. Plus, Haru loves my cooking.â
He regards you with an intensity that catches you off guard.
âI didnât realize you felt that way. You know⌠youâre welcome to cook whenever you want. This is your home too, after all.â
Thereâs a brief pause as he seems to mull something over, his eyes distant before snapping back to yours with a newfound determination. He leans forward slightly, his eyes locked onto yours.
âHow about thisâyou cook dinner tonight? Iâll tell the chef to take the night off.â
You blink, momentarily taken aback by the offer.
âYouâd really do that?â
"Why not?" he says with a shrug. "This is your home now, for the next year at least. Besides, itâll be nice to see you in your element, and Iâm curious to taste your cooking."
A spark of excitement flickers within you at the idea, the thought of returning to something familiar and comforting lifting your spirits.
âAlright then,â you agree, a playful challenge in your tone. âBut donât complain if it doesnât meet your gourmet standards.â
âIâm sure it will be perfect,â he responds, his voice filled with a quiet confidence that sends a ripple of anticipation through you.
He leans in closer, his elbow resting on the table as he tilts his head, his intense gaze locking onto yours. The proximity makes your heart skip a beat, the air between you charged with an unspoken connection.
âIâm looking forward to it,â he adds, his voice low, almost a whisper, as if sharing a secret meant only for you.
You hold his gaze, trying to maintain your composure, though you can feel a flutter in your chest.
âJust promise me you wonât hover in the kitchen,â you quip, lifting an eyebrow as you lean back slightly, creating a bit of space to steady your racing heart.
Satoruâs grin only widens, a playful glint sparkling in his eyes as he mirrors your movement, leaning back as well.
âNo promises. I might want to learn a thing or two."
You cross your arms, challenging him with a smirk and a pointed look.
âYou? Help out in the kitchen?â
The disbelief in your voice is clear, though a small smile tugs at your lips. The idea of him, the polished and ever-confident Satoru, navigating the chaos of a kitchen is almost too absurd to imagine.
He laughs, a rich sound that fills the room, raising his hands in mock surrender.
âHey, I can follow directions,â he protests, his grin broadening. âJust tell me what to do.â
You roll your eyes playfully, shaking your head in mock exasperation.
âWeâll see about that,â you quip, though thereâs a part of you thatâs curiousâmaybe even hopefulâthat he might actually surprise you.
Before you can say more, Haru claps her hands together excitedly, her eyes sparkling with delight.
âMama cooking! Yay!â she exclaims, bouncing in her highchair.
You laugh softly, ruffling her hair with affection.
âYes, mamaâs cooking tonight,â you confirm, the warmth in your voice mirroring the smile on your face.
Satoru watches the exchange with a softening gaze, a rare moment of quiet sincerity passing over his features. But then, with a stretch that seems to shake off the sentiment, he stands up, rolling his shoulders back.
âIn the meantime,â he says, tone shifting back to business, âwe should probably get ready to head to the office. Thereâs a lot we need to cover.â
ę¨ď¸
As the car pulls up to the grand entrance of Gojo Corporation, you take a deep breath, trying to steady the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside you.
It feels as though an eternity has passed since you last walked through those imposing doors, yet as you gaze up at the sleek, formidable building, a wave of familiarity washes over you, making it seem as if nothing has changed.
The towering glass structure looms above, its mirrored surface catching the early morning sun and casting a dazzling array of shimmering light that dances across the pavement. The reflections create an almost ethereal glow around the building.
As the sleek glass doors of Gojo Corporation glide open with a quiet whoosh, you and Satoru step through together, hand in hand.
The lobby unfolds before you, just as you rememberedâspacious, modern, and a testament to impeccable design.
Polished marble floors stretch out beneath your feet, gleaming like a mirror under the bright, strategically placed lights. The air is filled with a soft, steady hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional click of heels against the floor.
Familiar faces turn towards you, their polite smiles masking the flickers of curiosity and speculation that dance in their eyes. You can feel the weight of their gazes, each glance a blend of respect tinged with a subtle undercurrent of skepticism.
The whispers are almost tangible, a low murmur that follows you as you move further into the lobby, their eyes tracking your every step.
Your hand instinctively tightens around Satoruâs, seeking reassurance in his steady presence. Satoruâs grip is firm yet comforting, his thumb brushing gently against the back of your hand in a silent gesture of support.
He leads you further into the lobby, his posture exuding confidence and ease, as if heâs entirely unbothered by the attention.
Each of your footsteps against the polished floor brings a flood of memories to you. Thereâs a palpable sense of nostalgia, a bittersweet longing for the simplicity and familiarity of your old workspace.
But everything has changed, hasnât it?
Now, youâre his wifeâat least, thatâs the role you must play.
The weight of that title hangs heavy on your shoulders, transforming the once-familiar surroundings into a stage where every glance, every whisper carries a different meaning.
And Satoruâhe has changed too.
The carefree son of the CEO you once knew has evolved into a leader in his own right. The transformation is subtle yet profound, etched in the way he carries himself, the way he interacts with the staff, and the way he commands respect without demanding it.
You can see the weight of responsibility resting on his shoulders, a mantle he has taken up with a quiet determination.
As you approach the elevators, Satoruâs hand slips from yours, the warmth of his touch lingering on your skin as he reaches out to press the button.
The elevator doors slide open with a quiet, mechanical whisper, revealing the sleek, mirrored interior. You both step inside, the soft hum of the elevator filling the space with a steady, soothing rhythm.
Satoru glances at you, his eyes catching the soft light reflecting off the polished walls. Thereâs a small, reassuring smile on his lips, one that carries a hint of warmth and something deeperâperhaps a silent promise that everything will be alright.
âSo,â he begins, his voice casual, though you can sense the underlying focus in his tone, âtoday we have a meeting regarding a potential corporate merger with Mei-Mei's company.â
âMei-Mei⌠I remember her,â you say, your brow furrowing slightly as you search your memory. âIsn't she from that high-end tech company?â
Satoru nods and leans casually against the elevator wall, his posture relaxed but his mind clearly working.
âThatâs right,â he confirms, his voice steady and assured. âSheâs quite influential in her field, a key player in the tech industry. This merger could be a significant step for us, opening doors to new technologies and markets.â
As his words sink in, you feel a knot of anxiety tighten in your stomach. You swallow hard, trying to push down the unease thatâs bubbling up inside you.
âAlright. Whatâs our approach for the meeting?â
Satoruâs eyes meet yours, his gaze steady and reassuring. Thereâs a quiet confidence in his expression, a belief in your abilities that helps to steady your nerves.
âWeâll present our strengths,â he explains. âWeâll show them what we can bring to the table, the value we offer. Your insights will be invaluable, so donât hesitate to speak up. Just be yourself. Thatâs more than enough.â
You nod, drawing in a deep breath to calm the flutter of nerves in your chest.
âGot it,â you reply, your voice more resolute now, bolstered by his confidence in you.
The elevator dings softly, and the doors glide open to reveal the executive floor, a space imbued with quiet power and understated elegance.
Satoru walks ahead, his stride confident and purposeful, and you follow closely, drawing strength from his unwavering presence.
As you enter the conference room, your eyes immediately land on Mei-Mei, already seated at the expansive table. Sheâs impeccably dressed, exuding an air of effortless elegance and control.
The moment she spots Satoru, her eyes light up with a warmth that feels just a bit too personal. A slow, sultry smile spreads across her lips as she rises gracefully from her chair.
âSatoru, darling,â she purrs, her voice smooth and honeyed as she glides toward him with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what she wants. âItâs been far too long.â
Seeing her in person brings a rush of memories, sharp and unbiddenâthe sound of her voice, the way she says his name...
Mei-Mei isnât just any business associateâ sheâs the woman who was once poised to step into the very role you now occupy.
Satoruâs father had been persistent he consider her for marriage, a match that had been pushed on him relentlessly.
The realization sharpens your senses, and as Mei-Mei continues to hold Satoruâs gaze with practiced ease, you steel yourself, determined not to let old rivalries or lingering doubts shake your confidence.
Satoru smiles politely, his expression composed and unreadable as he extends a hand to her.
âMei-Mei,â he greets her, his tone smooth and diplomatic. âAlways a pleasure.â
Mei-Meiâs eyes flicker with satisfaction as she accepts his hand, her touch light and fleeting, like a whisper of silk.
Her gaze shifts to you as she releases his hand, a spark of curiosity mingling with something more calculated behind her eyes.
âAnd who might this be?â she inquires, her voice carrying a subtle edge, as if sheâs already assessing your worth.
âThis is my wife, y/nâ Satoru says smoothly, his hand finding yours. âSheâll be joining us for the meeting.â
Mei-Meiâs smile curves at the edges, but it doesnât quite reach her eyes, which narrow slightly as she studies you more closely.
âOf course,â she says, her tone dripping with courtesy that feels just a shade too polished. âItâs lovely to meet you.â
She pauses, her gaze sharpening with a hint of challenge.
âI must say, I havenât heard of you before. What family do you come from?â
A twinge of discomfort ripples through you, a reminder of the stark difference in backgrounds. You swallow slightly, trying to keep your voice steady.
âI... I donât come from a well-known family,â you admit, the words feeling heavier than they should. âIâve worked with Satoru at Gojo Corporation for the past year.â
Mei-Meiâs smile shifts, the corners of her lips lifting just a fraction, but thereâs a condescending glint in her eyes now.
âOh, I see,â she replies, her voice laced with a faint, dismissive amusement. âHow quaint.â
You force a smile, though it feels tight on your lips, refusing to let her patronizing attitude get under your skin.
As you move to take your seat at the table, you watch as she leans in closer to Satoru, her fingers grazing his arm in a gesture that seems almost too casual, too familiar.
âI must say, Satoru,â Mei-Mei purrs, her voice smooth and saccharine, like honey with a hint of venom, âyouâve been doing an impressive job with the company. Your father would be proud.â
Satoru nods, keeping his tone professional.
âThank you, Mei-Mei. Weâve made some significant strides, and Iâm optimistic about the potential this merger holds for both of our companies.â
âOf course, Satoru. Iâm sure we can work out something that benefits both parties. After all,â she adds, her gaze lingering on him with a knowing smile, âweâve always made a great team, havenât we?â
Determined to assert your own presence, you clear your throat softly and lean forward, your gaze steady and unyielding.
âIâm looking forward to seeing how our strengths can complement each other,â you interject smoothly. âThereâs a lot we can achieve together.â
Mei-Meiâs eyes flicker to you. She offers a tight smile, the warmth in her expression barely masking the sharpness beneath.
âIndeed,â she concedes, her tone now laced with a hint of challenge. âLetâs make this a success, shall we?â
The meeting begins, and you do your best to focus on the discussion, but Mei-Meiâs constant flirtation with Satoru gnaws at your nerves like a persistent thorn.
You can feel the tension building within you, your hands clenched tightly in your lap as you force yourself to remain composed, every muscle in your body taut with restraint.
Mei-Mei finds every opportunity to brush her fingers against Satoruâs arm, her touch lingering just a second too long. Her laughter rings out, a bit too loud and a touch too sweet, echoing off the walls of the conference room.
Every compliment she directs at Satoru is overly effusive, dripping with a familiarity that sets your teeth on edge.
Satoru, to his credit, remains the picture of professionalism.
His responses are polite but distant, a carefully maintained detachment that you admire even as it does little to quell the irritation bubbling inside you. Heâs skilled at sidestepping her advances with an almost practiced ease, deflecting her attempts to draw him into her web of flirtation.
But despite his composed demeanor, each of Mei-Meiâs calculated gestures feels like a testâa deliberate provocation meant to unsettle you, to remind you of the history that lingers between them.
The subtle, unspoken challenge in her eyes whenever she glances your way only fuels the fire simmering within you.
âSo, Satoru,â Mei-Mei says, leaning closer to him, âabout the merger terms, I believe we should consider revising the profit-sharing ratio. It would be beneficial for both parties.â
Her tone is persuasive, almost coaxing, as she tilts her head slightly, letting her hair fall in a way that draws attention to the graceful curve of her neck.
But before Satoru can respond, you lean forward, your voice calm yet firm, cutting through the tension like a blade.
âActually, if you look at the numbers, the current ratio is fair and balanced, ensuring both companies benefit equally from this partnership.â
For a split second, annoyance flashes in Mei-Meiâs eyes, a subtle tightening at the corners of her mouth betraying her irritation. But she quickly masks it with a polished smile, her expression smoothing over as if the moment of discord never happened.
âI see,â she replies, her voice still honeyed but with a slight edge. âWell, perhaps we can discuss this further in detail later.â
Satoru, ever the diplomat, nods in agreement, his tone steady and measured.
âWe can certainly revisit that point,â he says, his gaze shifting between you and Mei-Mei, acknowledging both perspectives. âBut for now, letâs proceed with the agenda.â
As the conversation continues, Mei-Meiâs relentless flirtations with Satoru are becoming more and more unbearable.
Each coy glance she throws Satoruâs way chips away at your composure, and you find it harder and harder to maintain the calm facade youâve been desperately clinging to.
Just when you think you canât endure it any longer, Satoru glances at his watch and suggests,
âLetâs take a short break. Weâll reconvene in fifteen minutes.â
The words are like a lifeline tossed to a drowning person.
âIâll be back in a bit,â you mutter, barely managing to keep the tremor out of your voice as you slip out of the room.
The moment youâre out of sight, you quicken your pace, your footsteps echoing in the hallway as you make a beeline for the supply room. The small, confined space offers a momentary refuge from the oppressive atmosphere of the conference room.
As you close the door behind you, the faint scent of paper and office supplies envelops you, oddly comforting in its familiarity, like a reminder of simpler times.
You start to rummage through the supplies, your hands moving automatically as you try to distract yourself from the image of Mei-Meiâs hands brushing against Satoruâs arm, her laughter echoing in your ears.
The memory plays on a loop in your mind, fueling the frustration that bubbles just beneath the surface.
You grab a few itemsâa stack of sticky notes, a box of paperclipsâand begin organizing them on the shelf, your movements precise, almost mechanical.
Moments later, the door creaks open, and you look up to see Satoru standing in the doorway, a nostalgic smile on his face.
âDoesnât look like youâre taking much of a break.â
âI guess old habits die hard,â your voice clipped, betraying the frustration simmering just beneath the surface.
âSeeing you in here brings back memories,â he continues, stepping further into the room, his gaze sweeping over the shelves as if he, too, is remembering the countless times youâd both found yourselves in this very spot, buried in work and conversation.
The familiarity of it should be comforting, but today, it only amplifies the growing disarray you feel inside. You huff, shaking your head in exasperation.
âSince Iâve been gone, itâs obvious someone isnât doing the supply order right,â you gesture sharply to the cluttered shelves. âEverythingâs out of place.â
He chuckles softly, closing the distance between you with a few steps.
âYou always were meticulous about these things. Guess no one can do it quite like you.â
Letting out a frustrated sigh, you turn back to the shelves.
âThis whole day has been a mess,â you mutter, more to yourself than to him, the words escaping in a rush of pent-up emotion.
Each item you straighten feels like an attempt to impose order on something far more chaotic than these shelvesâa futile effort to regain control in a situation that seems increasingly out of your grasp.
Satoru raises an eyebrow, leaning casually against a shelf, his posture relaxed but his eyes attentive.
âReally? I thought things were going well,â he remarks, a hint of confusion in his voice.
You turn to face him, your frustration bubbling over, no longer containable.
âWell, theyâre not,â you snap, the sharpness in your voice surprising even yourself. âThis merger? Itâs a terrible idea. Itâs obvious Mei-Mei is just trying to squeeze as much revenue out of this deal as possible, and youâre letting her.â
Satoruâs teasing expression falters, replaced by one of seriousness. He uncrosses his arms, his posture shifting as he takes a step closer, his gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that wasnât there before.
âWhat makes you say that?â
You cross your arms defensively, glaring at him.
âThe terms sheâs proposing are ridiculous. Sheâs pushing for more than her company deserves.â
âWhy didnât you say something during the meeting?â he counters, his eyes narrowing slightly in confusion.
You throw your hands up in exasperation, your emotions spilling over.
âHow could I?â you quip, the words escaping in a rush. âMei-Mei was too busy batting her eyelashes and finding any excuse to touch you. Every time I tried to speak, sheâd cut me off or distract you with some flirtatious nonsense.â
Satoruâs eyebrow arches, and for a moment, a smirk tugs at the corners of his mouth, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.
âAre you jealous?â
Your cheeks flush involuntarily, and you turn back to the shelves, grabbing a stack of papers and slamming them down with more force than necessary.
âOf course not,â you retort, your voice tinged with frustration. âItâs just... unprofessional.â
He doesnât back down, the smirk still playing on his lips as he steps closer, closing the distance between you until heâs right in front of you.
âYouâre cute when youâre jealous, you know that?â he murmurs, his tone playful, almost affectionate.
Thatâs the last straw.
Your patience, already worn thin, finally snaps.
âYou know what? It's hard enough trying to fit into this world without someone like her treating me like I donât belong!â
You shove the papers aside, the sound of them scattering across the table punctuating your words, and start to walk past him, needing to escape the confined space.
Satoruâs smirk vanishes as he realizes the depth of your frustration. He grabs your wrist, stopping you in your tracks, and pulls you back to him. His grip is firm but gentle, his eyes searching yours for understanding.
âHey,â he says softly, his voice sincere. âI didnât realize how much this was bothering you.â
You look up at him, your vision blurring slightly as tears threaten to spill over. The vulnerability youâve been trying to hold back finally breaks through, and the words tumble out before you can stop them.
âItâs just... itâs not easy being here, Satoru,â you confess, your voice trembling with the weight of your emotions. âI feel out of place, like I donât belong and Iâm constantly being judged. Itâs like everyoneâs waiting for me to fail.â
He tilts his head slightly, his gaze softening as he studies your face, reading the depth of your distress.
âThis isnât just about Mei-Mei, is it?â he asks gently. âDoes this have anything to do with that guy at the gala last night? The one that was overly familiar with you at the bar?â
You blink in surprise, taken aback by his perceptiveness.
âWhat? No, this is different,â you stammer, caught off guard by the sudden shift in the conversation.
âIs it?â he presses gently, his thumb tracing soothing circles on your back of your hand. âBecause I saw how he looked at you. And how uncomfortable you seemed.â
You shake your head, a mixture of frustration and exasperation bubbling to the surface.
âNaoya was just being his usual self, trying to provoke me,â you say dismissively.
âNaoya, huh?â Satoruâs voice hardens slightly, his expression darkening at the mention of the name. âHe didnât just try to provoke you. He was trying to undermine you in front of everyone. Who is that guy to you?â
The intensity in his gaze makes your heart skip a beat, and you can see that Satoru isnât just curiousâheâs genuinely concerned, and more than a little angry.
The protective edge in his voice tells you that heâs not going to let this go easily, and you realize that heâs picking up on more than youâd like to admit.
You take a deep breath, trying to steady yourself as you weigh your words carefully.
âHeâs... heâs Haruâs father,â you finally admit, the words leaving your lips in a hesitant whisper.
Satoruâs eyes widen in shock, the sudden revelation hitting him like a physical blow.
âWhat? Haruâs father? Why didnât you tell me?â Thereâs a sharpness in his tone now, not out of anger, but out of the raw emotion of being blindsided by something so significant.
You drop your gaze, unable to meet his eyes, the weight of your past suddenly feeling like too much to bear.
âI didnât want to burden you with my past,â you say quietly, your voice thick with regret.
For a moment, thereâs silence, thick and heavy between you, and you can feel the tension radiating off him.
But then, gently, he lifts your chin with his fingers, forcing you to meet his gaze. His touch is tender, his expression softening as he looks into your eyes, searching for the truth in them.
âYouâre not a burden,â he says firmly, his voice steady, leaving no room for doubt. âAnd Haru is part of your life. That means sheâs part of mine now too.â
You hesitate, the weight of his words settling over you as you struggle to find the right response.
âSatoru, I... I just didnât know how to bring it up,â you admit, your voice trembling slightly with the vulnerability of the confession. âI didnât want to complicate things. Itâs just⌠I feel like Iâm constantly being tested, like I have to prove myself over and over again.â
The words spill out in a rush, the pent-up emotions youâve been holding back finally breaking free.
He sighs softly, his expression softening as he reaches out, his fingers brushing a loose strand of hair away from your face with a tenderness that makes your heart ache.
âYou donât have to explain yourself to me,â he says, his voice gentle, but thereâs an underlying seriousness in his tone. âBut we canât have any more secrets between us during this arrangement. If weâre going to make this work, we need to be honest with each other.â
The sincerity in his eyes, the warmth in his touchâit all combines to create a sense of safety, a reassurance that youâre not alone in this, even if this is just a charade, itâs the comfort you desperately need.
Tears well up in your eyes again, threatening to spill out as your emotions overwhelm you. You nod, swallowing hard to keep your voice steady.
âI understand,â you whisper, âno more secrets.â
Without a word, Satoru pulls you into a gentle embrace, his arms encircling you with a tenderness that takes you by surprise.
He holds you close, his presence a steady anchor in the storm of emotions swirling inside you.
âGood,â he murmurs, his voice soft but firm against your ear. âYou do belong, y/n. And Iâm not going to let anyoneâMei-Mei, Naoya, or anyone elseâmake you feel otherwise.â
As he speaks, his arms tighten around you, pulling you closer, and for a moment, you simply melt into his embrace, letting the warmth and security he provides wash over you.
Your heart races as his hand slowly moves up, fingers gently threading through your hair, his touch so tender it makes your breath hitch. You can feel the steady rise and fall of his chest, his breath warm against your ear, grounding you in this shared moment of vulnerability.
But then, you pull back slightly, looking up at him, and itâs only then that you truly realize how close you are.
Your faces are mere inches apart, and the intensity in his gaze is almost overwhelming, drawing your attention to the way his eyes flicker down to your lips.
Your breath catches in your throat, your pulse quickening as you feel the magnetic pull between you, the tension thick in the air.
Slowly, almost hesitantly, he leans in, his lips hovering just a breath away from yours.
Your eyes flutter shut, anticipation building as his lips draw nearer.
But just before they brush against yours, a sliver of doubt crosses your mindâthe reality of the situation, reminding you of where you are, and what you are to each other.
You pull back slightly, your voice barely a whisper.
âWe should probably head back to the meeting.â
Though you say the words, your voice lacks conviction, betraying your true feelings.
Satoruâs eyes search yours for a moment longer, his forehead resting gently against yours as he takes a deep breath, the sound filled with a mix of reluctance and understanding.
He slowly pulls back, his hand lingering on your cheek, his thumb brushing your skin with a tenderness that makes your heart ache.
âYeah, we should,â he agrees softly, though his tone carries the weight of unspoken emotions.
His hand slips from your cheek, the absence of his touch leaving you feeling a bit colder.
âLetâs get back to it.â
ę¨ď¸
As you re-enter the conference room, Mei-Mei is already seated, her perfectly manicured nails tapping impatiently on the table.
She looks up as you and Satoru take your seats, a sly, knowing smile playing on her lips.
âAh, there you are,â she says, her tone dripping with faux sweetness, the honeyed edge barely masking the underlying condescension. âShall we continue?â
Satoru clears his throat, his expression carefully neutral as he regains his composure. Thereâs a subtle shift in his demeanor, a steely resolve that wasnât there before.
âRight, letâs continue where we left off.â
Mei-Meiâs smile deepens, saccharine sweet and just as poisonous, as she resumes her position with an air of unshakable confidence.
She leans forward slightly, her fingers stilling as she clasps her hands together, a picture of poised professionalism.
âOf course,â she purrs. âNow, as I was saying, the merger terms weâre proposing are quite favorable, especially considering the current market conditions. Iâm confident that with a little cooperation, we can reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Perhaps we can revisit the profit-sharing ratio?â
Her words are delivered with the precision of someone whoâs used to getting her way, but you can feel the subtle shift in her gaze as it flickers toward you, her eyes cold and calculating.
You glance at Satoru, seeking the silent reassurance that only he can offer in this moment.
He meets your gaze and gives you a subtle nod, the unspoken signal youâve been waiting for. Your heart pounds in your chest, the adrenaline surging as you realize that this is your moment.
Itâs now or never.
Summoning every ounce of courage within you, you rise from your seat, your voice steady and clear as it cuts through the tension in the room.
âActually, weâve reconsidered,â you begin, each word carefully measured. âAfter reviewing the terms, weâve decided that moving forward with this merger is not in the best interest of Gojo Corporation.â
Mei-Meiâs eyes widen in surprise, her carefully crafted facade slipping for just a fraction of a second. The shock in her expression is almost imperceptible, but you catch it, the brief crack in her confidence before she quickly regains her composure.
âExcuse me?â she demands, her voice sharp with incredulity. âAre you saying youâre rejecting our proposal?â
You meet her gaze unflinchingly, standing firm with a resolve that surprises even you.
âYes, thatâs exactly what Iâm saying,â you reply, your voice steady and unyielding. âThe terms youâre proposing are not equitable, and itâs clear that your company stands to gain disproportionately from this deal. Weâre not interested in a partnership that doesnât offer balanced benefits.â
Mei-Meiâs smile tightens, the corners of her lips pulling into a strained curve as she processes your words. Her composure is slipping, the veneer of control cracking as she realizes sheâs losing her grip on the situation.
Desperation flickers in her eyes as she glances toward Satoru, clearly hoping to find an ally in him.
âSatoru,â her tone laced with forced sweetness, âsurely we can discuss this furtherââ
âI trust my wifeâs judgment completely,â Satoru leans back in his chair with a calm confidence, a proud smile playing on his lips as he watches you take control of the situation. âIf she says the deal isnât right for us, then we wonât proceed.â
The finality in his tone leaves no room for negotiation and the impact of his words is immediate.
Mei-Meiâs expression falters, the last traces of her confident facade slipping away as frustration and disbelief flicker in her eyes. She forces a tight smile, nodding curtly, her eyes hardening.
âI see. Well, itâs your loss. Our offer was quite generous.â
You hold her gaze, unflinching.
âWeâll find another opportunity that aligns better with our goals. Thank you for your time.â
Mei-Meiâs eyes narrow slightly, but she says nothing more. Instead, she gathers her things with an icy precision, each movement deliberate as she rises from her seat.
The tension in the room is palpable as she turns on her heel and strides toward the door, her demeanor frosty, the sting of defeat evident in her rigid posture. The door closes behind her with a soft click, the sound echoing in the suddenly quiet room.
You let out a breath you didnât realize you were holding, the tension slowly melting away as a surge of relief and empowerment floods through you.
The adrenaline rush of standing your ground leaves you feeling both exhilarated and slightly shaky, but thereâs also a newfound confidence simmering beneath the surfaceâa realization that youâre more than capable of handling whatever comes your way.
Satoru turns to you, his smile widening with pride as he meets your gaze.
âYou handled that perfectly,â the warmth in his voice is like a reassuring embrace.
You return his smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over you.
âThanks. I guess I just needed to find my voice.â
And find it you did.
ę¨ď¸
As the sun begins to set, it casts a warm, golden glow through the expansive windows of the Gojo residence kitchen.
The light dances across the sleek, modern space, highlighting the clean lines of stainless-steel appliances and the smooth, cool surface of marble countertops.
You stand at the kitchen island, surrounded by a colorful array of ingredientsâvibrant tomatoes, fragrant basil, and glistening cuts of meat, each carefully selected for the eveningâs meal.
Satoru walks in, rolling up his sleeves with a playful grin lighting up his face.
âSo, Chef,â he says with a teasing lilt in his voice, leaning casually against the counter as he takes in the scene before him. His blue eyes sparkle with excitement, âWhatâs on the menu tonight?â
You glance up from the cutting board, catching his gaze.
Thereâs a lightness in his demeanor, a boyish enthusiasm that makes you smile in return. The way he looks at youâlike youâre the most interesting part of his dayâsends a flutter of warmth through your chest.
âNothing fancy. Just some homemade pasta and a simple salad. I hope thatâs okay with you, Mr. Gourmet.â
âSounds perfect,â he grins, moving to your side, ready to help. âWhat can I do?â
You hand him a cutting board and a knife, pointing to a colorful pile of vegetables waiting to be prepped.
âYou can start by chopping these for the salad.â
He takes the knife, looking at it a bit awkwardly and glances at you with a sheepish grin.
âAlright, letâs see if I remember how to do this without losing a finger.â
You canât help but watch with amusement as he makes a few tentative cuts, each slice uneven and clumsy. Itâs clear heâs out of practiceâor perhaps he never had much to begin with.
The sight of him, usually so confident, struggling with something so simple brings a smile to your face.
âHere, let me show you,â you say, moving to stand beside him.
Sliding closer, you place your hand over his on the knife handle, your touch gentle yet firm.
âYou want to keep your fingers tucked in like this,â you instruct, demonstrating with your own hand, ensuring his fingers are safely out of the knifeâs path. âAnd use a rocking motion with the knife, letting the blade do the work.â
You move his hand with yours, the rhythm of the knife creating a soothing pattern.
Satoru watches you intently, the proximity making your heart race. The warmth of his hand beneath yours sends a shiver up your spine.
As you continue to guide him, your hands move together in sync, and you canât help but notice the way his focus shifts from the vegetables to you, his blue eyes flickering with something deeper than just concentration.
âGot it,â he murmurs softly.
You continue to guide his hand, feeling the rhythm of the chopping become smoother.
âLike this?â
âExactly,â you reply, meeting his gaze, your heart fluttering at the intensity in his eyes. âSee? Itâs not so hard once you get the hang of it.â
He chuckles, and his eyes remain locked on yours, a playful spark mingling with the more serious undercurrent in his expression.
âNot hard at all, especially with such a good teacher.â
The moment lingers, the air between you charged with a newfound intimacy. Reluctantly, you step back, breaking the spell as you release your hold on the knife.
âI think youâve got it from here.â
Satoru nods, his eyes lingering on you for a moment before he returns to the vegetables with a newfound determination.
There is a new awareness in the way he handles the knife, as if heâs carrying forward the memory of your touch.
The two of you work in comfortable silence for a while, the only sounds being the rhythmic chopping of vegetables and the sizzle of garlic in the pan.
It feels oddly domestic, a far cry from the high-stakes world of corporate mergers and charity galas.
The simplicity of this moment, shared in the soft light of the kitchen, is a refreshing contrast to the complexities of your usual lives.
âYou know, I never imagined Iâd be doing something like this,â Satoru admits after a while, his voice breaking the silence. âBut Iâm glad I am.â
You glance over at him, catching the sincerity in his eyes, and you canât help but smile.
âCooking is kind of therapeutic for me, you know,â you say, your voice thoughtful as you turn your attention back to the task at hand. âIt helps me clear my mind, and itâs something I can control, unlike so many other things in life.â
Satoru watches you for a moment, his expression softening as he absorbs your words. Thereâs a quiet admiration in his gaze, one that you can feel even without looking at him.
âYou know, I gotta say, youâre really good at this.â
âHm? Cooking?â you ask, glancing up at him with a curious tilt of your head.
âNo,â his voice softens. âBalancing everything. Being a mother, dealing with me, and now standing up in that meeting. Youâre incredible.â
His words catch you off guard, the sincerity in his tone wrapping around your heart like a warm embrace.
Your cheeks flush at the unexpected compliment, a warmth spreading through you that has nothing to do with the heat of the stove.
For a moment, youâre at a loss for words, the gravity of his praise settling in. You turn your attention back to the stove, stirring the sauce with a renewed focus, using the task to steady yourself.
âThanks, Satoru,â you finally manage. âThat means a lot.â
As you continue to cook, the tension of the day begins to melt away, replaced by a sense of calm that settles over you like a warm blanket.
The kitchen fills with the rich, mouthwatering aroma of simmering tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic, the scents mingling together to create an atmosphere that feels both comforting and intimate.
Satoru moves beside you with surprising grace, each motion purposeful and smooth, belying his earlier claims of inexperience.
You find yourself stealing glances at him, admiring the way his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, exposing the toned muscles of his forearms as he works.
Thereâs a quiet concentration in his expression, a focus that draws you in, making it impossible not to notice the way heâs completely absorbed in the task at hand.
âLooks like youâre a natural.â
Your words earn you a grin, his usual playfulness shining through.
âDonât jinx it,â he warns, making a particularly precise cut with the knife, his movements confident and sure.
You laugh, the sound light and carefree as you turn back to the sauce simmering on the stove.
âI think itâs time to taste this,â you say, stirring the rich, fragrant mixture with a wooden spoon. âWant to give it a try?â
Satoru nods, stepping closer, the space between you narrowing as he joins you at the stove.
You scoop a bit of the sauce onto a spoon, blowing on it gently to cool it down before lifting it to your lips for a taste. The rich, tangy flavors explode on your tongue, the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
âMmm, I think itâs almost perfect,â you murmur, savoring the taste, your eyes fluttering shut for a moment as you let the flavors linger.
âAlmost?â he asks, his voice tinged with curiosity and a hint of challenge.
You smile, opening your eyes to find his gaze fixed on you, the intensity in his blue eyes sending a shiver down your spine.
âHere, taste,â you say, holding the spoon up to his lips, your hand steady.
He leans in, his movements slow and deliberate, every inch closer making your heart beat a little faster. His eyes remain locked on yours with an unspoken intensity, and as his lips close around the spoon, you find yourself holding your breath, waiting for his reaction.
Thereâs a brief pause as he savors the sauce, his expression thoughtful.
âWow, thatâs delicious,â his voice low and sincere.
Just as youâre about to smile in response, you feel a light touch on your lip. Before you can react, Satoru reaches out, his thumb gently swiping at the corner of your mouth where a bit of sauce had lingered.
The unexpected contact sends a jolt of electricity through you, your breath catching in your throat.
Without breaking eye contact, he brings his thumb to his own lips, tasting the sauce with a playful smirk that leaves you momentarily speechless.
âNow thatâs perfect.â
The simple gesture, so intimate and unassuming, leaves you flustered, warmth spreading through your cheeks.
The kitchen seemed to grow smaller and the air thicker.
You quickly turn your attention back to stirring the pasta, desperately trying to steady your racing heart and regain your composure as you move the spoon in slow, deliberate circles.
âYou always know how to make things interesting,â you manage to say, your voice betraying the flutter of nerves that Satoru has stirred up.
He chuckles softly, a sound that vibrates through the small space between you, and you feel him step closer until his chest is nearly brushing against your back.
The warmth of his presence wraps around you, cocooning you in a sense of comfort and something moreâsomething electric.
âI could say the same about you,â his breath warm against your ear.
You turn slightly, your breath catching as you realize just how close he is. His blue eyes, so focused and intense, lock onto yours, and the world seems to narrow to just the two of you.
Satoru leans in, his voice dropping to a soft murmur that sends a shiver down your spine.
âYou have a way of making everything more exciting, y/n.â
You swallow hard, your throat suddenly dry as your eyes flicker to his lips and then back to his eyes.
The pull between you is magnetic, undeniable, and you struggle to maintain your composure.
âMaybe itâs just because youâre so easily entertained,â you tease, your voice barely above a whisper, trying to diffuse the intensity of the moment with a hint of playfulness.
He grins, the expression sending your heart into a wild flutter.
Slowly, his hand moves to rest on the counter beside you, effectively trapping you in place. The gesture is subtle yet commanding, his body language exuding a quiet confidence that leaves you feeling both exhilarated and breathless.
âOr maybe itâs because youâre just that captivating,â he counters, his voice a hushed rumble that sends another wave of warmth through you.
âOkaaay, Mr. Smooth Talker,â you manage to say, your voice tinged with nervous laughter as you attempt to regain some semblance of control. âHow about you help me with the garlic bread?â
The suggestion is your lifeline, a way to shift the focus and calm your racing heart before youâre completely lost in the moment.
Satoruâs grin widens, clearly enjoying your flustered state.
âWhatever you need, Chef,â he replies, his tone lightening as he pushes away from the counter and moves to the other side of the kitchen.
The distance between you offers a brief reprieve, allowing you to steady your breathing and refocus on the task at hand.
Get it togetherâthis isnât real.
ę¨ď¸
The table is set with a simple elegance that mirrors the meal youâve preparedâfresh pasta topped with a rich, fragrant tomato sauce, golden garlic bread still warm from the oven, and a crisp, colorful salad that adds a splash of vibrancy to the setting.
Haru, already seated with her eyes wide in anticipation, swings her little legs under the table, her excitement palpable.
âMama, pasta!â she exclaims, her voice filled with childlike wonder.
Her gaze flickers from the steaming plates to the basket of garlic bread, her small hands already reaching for a slice as if she can hardly wait another moment.
Satoru chuckles as he takes his seat beside her, his smile widening at the sight of her enthusiasm.
âPatience, Haru,â he teases, ruffling her hair affectionately. âLetâs wait for your mama to sit down.â
You join them at the table, a soft smile playing on your lips as you take in the scene.
Carefully, you begin to serve the plates, starting with Haru. You scoop a generous portion of pasta onto her plate, the rich tomato sauce clinging perfectly to the tender strands.
âThere you go, sweetie,â you say with a smile, placing the plate in front of her. âBut remember, eat slowly, okay? We have all the time in the world.â
Haru nods eagerly, though you can tell sheâs barely restraining herself. Her little fingers curl around her fork, her eyes never leaving the plate as she prepares to dive in.
Next, you turn to Satoru, serving him a plate with equal care.
The pasta glistens under the soft light, the aroma of garlic and herbs wafting up as you set it before him.
As you place the plate down, his eyes meet yours, and in that brief moment, thereâs a silent exchangeâone of gratitude, warmth, and something deeper, something unspoken but understood.
âThank you,â he murmurs.
You nod in response, your heart warming at the connection between you, simple yet profound.
Meanwhile, Haruâs eyes widen even further as she finally takes her first bite.
The flavors burst in her mouth, her little face lighting up with pure delight. She chews enthusiastically, her expression one of sheer happiness, and you canât help but smile at her reaction.
âYummy!â she declares, her mouth full as she grins up at you.
Her words are filled with such genuine enthusiasm and innocence that it makes your heart swell with pride.
Satoru watches Haru with a fond smile before he too takes a bite of the meal youâve lovingly prepared.
His expression shifts almost immediately to one of pleasant surprise, his eyes widening slightly as the flavors settle on his palate. He chews thoughtfully, savoring the blend of fresh ingredients and the care that went into the preparation.
âSheâs right. This is amazing, you really outdid yourself.â
A smile spreads across your face, a warmth blooming in your chest at their praise.
Itâs a simple meal, nothing extravagant, but the way theyâre enjoying it makes it feel like the most special dinner in the world.
âIâm glad you both like it. Itâs nice to be able to cook for you.â
As you begin to eat, the room fills with the sounds of contentmentâHaruâs happy chatter as she dives into her meal, Satoruâs occasional hum of approval as he tastes each dish, and the gentle clinking of cutlery against plates.
The meal continues and the three of you fall into an easy rhythm, the conversation flowing naturally.
Haru tells stories about her day, her voice animated as she shares every little detail. Satoru listens attentively, his focus on her unwavering, his smile growing with each of her excited exclamations.
At one point, Haru insists on feeding Satoru a bite of her pasta, her giggles bubbling up like a stream as she carefully maneuvers the fork towards his mouth.
Satoru, ever the playful one, exaggerates the motion, opening his mouth wide and making a show of how delicious the bite is. He rolls his eyes in mock ecstasy, his exaggerated reaction sending Haru into a fit of laughter that rings out like the purest music.
The way Satoru looks at Haru, with such genuine affection and warmth, causes a tightness in your chestâa beautiful, almost overwhelming sensation that swells within you.
His eyes are soft, his smile unguarded, and in that moment, you can see just how much he cherishes these little interactions with her.
Itâs a sight that tugs at your heartstrings, making you realize just how deeply heâs become entwined in both your lives.
Taking in this moment, you feel a deep sense of contentment, a quiet happiness that fills your heart to the brim.
This scene, so ordinary yet so special, feels like a moment you want to hold onto forever.
It is a culmination of everything youâve been striving forâa sense of belonging, of family, of home.
Ah, but this isnât realâjust a charade.
Just as this warmth settles in your heart, a pang of bittersweetness follows.
Yet, despite knowing the truth, you canât help but wish, just for a moment, that it could be.
Haru, now tired from all the excitement, leans against Satoru, her small head resting on his arm. Her eyelids grow heavy, her earlier energy now spent, and she begins to drift off, her breaths becoming slow and rhythmic.
Satoru glances at you, his eyes filled with a tenderness that makes your breath hitch.
âYou know,â he begins, his voice low and sincere, âI could get used to this. We should cook more often. Sharing meals like this... itâs nice.â
Your breath catches in your throat, and for a second, the line between reality and pretense blurs. You nod, but your mind races.
This is just a charade⌠right?
Yet, as you look into Satoruâs eyes, the warmth there makes you question everything. Maybe, just maybe, thereâs a part of him that feels the same way you doâa longing for this to be more than just an act.
ę¨ď¸
The late afternoon sunlight filters through the curtains of the Gojo mansion, casting a warm golden grown across the living room.
You sit on the couch as Haru plays on the floor, completely absorbed in her toys, her little hands guiding her dolls through an imagined world of adventure and make-believe.
Her soft giggles and murmured conversations with her toys bring a smile to your face, filling the room with a sense of peace and contentment.
Satoru had business to attend to, and before leaving, he made sure you had the rest of the day to spend with Haru.
Itâs a rare and treasured opportunity, these quiet hours spent together, free from the demands of the outside world.
As you watch Haru, you feel a deep sense of gratitude for this timeâthis simple, unhurried togetherness that feels so rare in your often chaotic lives.
But then, the doorbell rings, cutting through the tranquility like a sharp knife.
You glance toward the door, your heart giving a slight, uneasy flutter.
Pushing aside the apprehension creeping into your chest, you rise from the couch, taking a steadying breath as you approach the door.
When you open it, youâre met with the sight of a stern-looking man in a crisp suit, his expression as unyielding as his posture.
Thereâs something about his demeanor that instantly puts you on edge. Heâs holding an envelope in one hand, his grip firm, almost as if the paper holds some kind of weight beyond its physical presence.
âMrs. Gojo?â he asks, his voice flat, businesslike.
The formal tone sends a shiver down your spine, and you nod cautiously, a sense of dread unfurling in the pit of your stomach.
âYes, thatâs me,â you reply, your voice a little more tentative than youâd like.
Without another word, he thrusts the envelope into your hands, his gaze unwavering as he says,
âYouâve been served.â
The words hang in the air, heavy and ominous. Your fingers tighten around the envelope as confusion and alarm spike within you.
âServed? For what?â you ask, your voice betraying the anxiety thatâs quickly rising.
The manâs expression remains unchanged, impassive.
âCustody of Haru. Mr. Naoya Zenin is filing for full custody,â he states matter-of-factly, as if itâs just another routine task for him, another case on a long list.
The shock of his words hits you like a physical blow, your breath catching in your throat.
For a moment, you stand there frozen, the reality of the situation slowly sinking in as he turns on his heel and walks away, leaving you standing in the doorway, the envelope clutched tightly in your hand.
This canât be happening.
With trembling hands, you tear open the envelope, your eyes darting across the densely packed lines of legal jargon. Each word seems to blur into the next as your heart pounds furiously in your chest.
This is happening.
A cold wave of dread washes over you, settling deep in your bones as the reality of the situation begins to take hold.
Just a few feet away, Haru is still playing in the living room, her laughter and cheerful babble a stark contrast to the turmoil thatâs unraveling in your mind.
Sheâs completely oblivious to the storm thatâs brewing, her innocence a painful reminder of whatâs at stake.
As you stand there, frozen in place, your phone buzzes, snapping you out of your daze.
You glance down at the screen, your stomach knotting as you see Naoyaâs name flash across it. With a sense of dread, you unlock the phone and read the message.
Naoya Zenin: There, hopefully I finally have your attention. I suggest giving me a call if you want to avoid this all.
The words hit you like a punch to the gut, a toxic mix of fear and anger bubbling up inside you.
Your hands shake uncontrollably as you stare at the message, the smugness practically oozing from each word.
You force yourself to take a deep breath, trying to steady the whirlwind of emotions threatening to consume you.
With shaky fingers, you dial Naoyaâs number. Each ring feels like an eternity, and when he finally answers, his voice is dripping with satisfaction.
âY/n, I was wondering when youâd call,â he purrs, his tone as smooth as ever, but laced with an unmistakable undercurrent of smugness.
âWhat the hell is this, Naoya?â you demand, your voice trembling with a mix of fury and fear. âYouâre filing for full custody of Haru?â
Thereâs a pause, and you can almost hear the smirk in his voice when he finally responds. He chuckles softly, the sound sending chills down your spine.
âI see you got my notice. Good. Itâs time we discussed Haruâs future.â
The casual tone in his voice, as if this is just another business deal, ignites a fire within you. But before you can respond, he continues, his voice turning colder.
âIâm sending you an address. Meet me here tomorrow. Oh, and y/n.â his voice drops, becoming even more sinister, âI strongly suggest you donât involve Satoruâunless you want this to become a nasty custody battle.â
His words hang in the air, a thinly veiled threat that tightens around your chest like a vice.
You stand there, phone in hand, the weight of his ultimatum pressing down on you.
The line goes dead.
strap in guys we are approaching some angst 𼺠oh if only reader knew how down bad satoru is for her 𼲠i actually really struggled with how i wanted this chapter to be structured, there are a lot of scenes i ended up writing that i opted to move to a later chapter because i just felt it was too rushed. the slow burn of this relationship is really important to me, so ultimately, i think it was for the best. would love to hear your thoughts! thanks for reading my fic đŤśđť â onto the next chapter ę¨

Fragments of Starlight
Pairing: Azriel x Reader
Summary: With the impending war, Y/N is captured by Hybern's general. As they struggle to protect those they care about, they reflect on their unrequited feelings for Azriel and their insecurities within the Night Court.
Word Count: 4,585
Warnings: ANGST, violence, torture, dark themes
A/N: This is my first time ever writing anything like this. I am a true sucker for angst. This is meant to go along with some of the events of ACOWAR, but of course, itâs different. Please donât come at me for not following itâs exact story line. ALSO, I know that Azriel or Feyre would NEVER, but itâs just for the heartache okay!!
Part 2, Part 3
------
Now
All of it, it was all going to shit. I donât know how my ears werenât bleeding at the sheer amount of noise coming from the chaos around me. So much screaming, but was it Hybernâs forces, or our own? Everything was ringing, my head throbbing along with it. It was almost as if my breaths were not reaching my lungs. I was on the ground, all fours underneath me as I tried and tried to get myself to my feet. Everything was sore, it was like my muscles were not working. I stretched for the source of the aching on my temple and what I found was the warm, wet consistency of fresh blood.
My family, where is my family? Panic drenched me like a bucket of ice water.
With a groan, I grabbed my sword that lay beside me and turned to face the sky, now sitting at least. The sky, it was so blue. It almost felt like a disgusting joke to see something so beautiful, as dead bodies lay at my feet. Hybernâs forces were surrounding me, there was no escaping this.
I grit my teeth as I stand, my blade in hand. Dizziness rolls off me in waves, so much so that nausea is found coursing through my veins. I donât get very far up before Iâm slammed back down to the earth. My face hits the dirt as all the air leaves my lungs, leaving nothing but the taste of the earth and blood in my mouth. There is someone standing on my back, applying enough pressure Iâm sure Iâll have a broken rib or two.
âDonât go too far, sweetheart. We are just getting started with you.â A cry of pain leaves my lips as one of Hybernâs generals continues to crush my ribcage. The nausea and ringing in my head is too much. Then, with another blow to my head, everything is dark.
---
Before
âOh, come on now sweet cheeks! You can do better than that. Az and I trained you myself!â Cassianâs voice was oh so annoying as he pinned me to my back. Sweat was gleaming across both of us as we spent the morning training. I was panting as my mind continued to reel.
Life had gotten tense with the Inner Circle recently. Not only was Prythian on the cusp of war with Hybern, but now we had to juggle the two newly made Fae that were the Archeron sisters.
I honestly felt bad for them. They did not ask for this life. I can only image what it would be like to go through life having your humanity ripped from you. Now knowing that you are going to be around for centuries instead of decades. And I felt bad for Feyre, who never wanted to see her sisterâs dragged into this.
Usually, Azriel would be here with Cassian and me. Usually. It seemed as though Azriel had been getting far in over his head with the middle Archeron sister as of late. I would be lying if I said it didnât bother me. But, I would never admit that fact out loud. Elain was half here and half not. Whenever she did speak, sheâd just spew some crap that didnât make any sense. But, that didnât stop Azriel from spending any time he was not preparing for the war, with her.
Azriel. My heart seized at just the mention of his name. I had known the Shadowsinger for centuries. I stood by his side as he faced his own inner turmoil about Rhys being taken from us right under our feet. I stood by him even before that as I watched Windhaven and Devlon try to take was little he had away from him. Really, I had stood by everyone in this Inner Circle. But Azriel, Az was different. This too I would never admit out loud.
It took me holding him one night, after he had dreamt of his hands being lit aflame again, that it snapped. In all his vulnerability, it just, snapped. Az and I had shared a connection, a friendship, and I had loved him far long before the mating bond clicked in place. It only felt right that it was him. But, it hasnât snapped for him.
It hurt, every single day, it hurt. And to watch him try so hard to make whatever it was happen with Elain, who was mated to someone else, made me feel worthless. This too, was not his fault. How was he supposed to know when I refused to breathe a word of it. Honestly, it might be a good thing, the distance. It hurts, but Azriel deserves happiness. I donât know if Iâm the one who can give him that.
âDamnit Cass!â I grunted as I fought back from his restraint.
âYou are letting yourself get sloppy, Y/N. No room for that on the battlefield.â His face was smug. I felt some embarrassment creep up my neck and find its way on my cheeks.
âI know, I know.â I huffed. âJust let me up already.â I gave up on fighting back. Recently I found myself lacking the energy I used to have. I used to be full, driven, but I have found myself distant lately.
âLook, are you sure youâre okay, Y/N? You have not had your head in the game recently.â He stood and held a hand out to me. Cassian only wanted to check on me, it was nice really. I just wasnât used to it. I had been the one the members of this court had always leaned their heads on. There just seemed to be no room for the others to do the same for me. So, I never asked them to. I wasnât going to start now.
âIâm fine Cass, just tired.â I retorted.
âArenât we all sweet cheeks.â He said as he patted my back.
---
Now
Fire is crackling somewhere near me, but I canât feel its warmth. I feel myself chained up. My arms were far above my head, hanging me from a support post. My feet had been stripped of their shoes, and now chains wrapped around my ankles. My body hurt, breathing hurt, and my head hurt. I was sure that this hellhole was only going to make it worse.
âAh, there she is. Glad to see you actual awoke, we were starting to get worried.â Spoke the same general who broke my ribs.
I kept my mouth shut, only glaring at the direction of the voice. My vision was still blurry, and where I hope there was only one of him, I saw three.
The entrance flap of the tent open and closed to reveal another male. This one, I recognized. The King of Hybern himself.
âIf it isnât Y/N of the Night Court. I have to say, my men did a fine job bringing you in here for me. Wouldnât you say so?â His voice was gruff. âNow that youâre here, we some questions we need answered, and I suggest you do answer them, dear. Iâm sure you donât want to find out what will happen if you donât cooperate.â
I lazily lifted my head toward the King and sneered. âTry me.â I bit back, my voice laced with venom.
âOh, I was afraid youâd say something of those sorts.â The king waved in another male, he was in head to toe in black. Something similar to what Iâd see our very own Shadowsinger wear. Only this male was no where near the build of Az, but damn, did he look pissed.
The male pulled out a small dagger that was sheathed on their waist and made his way closer to me. I couldnât help but let a little laugh escape my lips, âSize does matter you know,â I quipped. I know this man was here to interrogate me, but I could not let these people know how truly vulnerable I felt.
âOh? I beg to differ.â The male stated as he plunged the dagger into the flesh of my calf.
---
BeforeÂ
Rhys wanted to have a family dinner tonight. It would be the first one in quite a long time. With everything going on, who was to blame anyone? I couldnât say I was looking forward to it though. I used to love the time I could spend with my family, but now, it wasnât the same. Not when my family was no longer the same.Â
Rhys had Feyre, who donât get me wrong, I love, and I love to see Rhys have the mate he has always deserved. But, with the additions of the Acheron sisters came with something strained. Cass hasnât said anything, but I see the way he looks at Nesta. Nesta, who wants absolutely nothing to do with him, or any of us for that matter. Mor and Amren hadnât been around as of late. Both were too busy preparing for this inevitable war. Mor with being an emissary and Amren with working out some logistics of the Cauldron.Â
And Az. Azriel was no longer seeking me out. No longer spending time in the training ring or the library with me. Instead, he was with Elain.Â
And then, there was me. Before this family all I was, was alone. Finding this family had saved me in more aspects than one, but I can feel it shifting under my feet, about to give way and take me with the edge of it.Â
This though, is something I would never speak about. There is enough going on as it is. No one needs to be burdened about me, my unreciprocated feelings for the Shadowsinger, or my silly feelings of insecurity. Iâm a friend to the court, a warrior, sometimes an advisor, but, I am nothing compared to the rest of them. I simply do not hold enough importance, and that is something I must live with. Something I am terrified they will realize as well.Â
I was the last to make it to the table. Cauldron, even Elain is here. And next to Elain was Az. Hazel eyed, messy haired, Az. We caught each otherâs eyes. I couldnât help but let a smile creep up onto my face in greeting, and he smiled back.
I took my seat next to Cass and Amren and looked at the table around me. Even though war was around the corner, it felt good to gather as if nothing was wrong. Conservation started buzzing, everyone started eating, and I drifted off to a place that wouldnât hurt me.
â-Â
Now
Sweat is dripping off me in beads. My body is littered with cuts and bruises. But, I didnât say a word. Not a single word about the size of our armies, not a word about what Rhys and the others had planned, not a word about our allies. Not a word. And I was paying for it.
Gods. They had left me here, giving me a break from the beatings and the torture. Whatever the used must have been laced with faebane because I have never felt this weak. This out of control of myself. I wasnât healing, and I was still losing blood. At this rate, it wasnât looking good. I was still hanging from my arms, Iâm sure at this point I had a shoulder out of itâs socket. A rustling began again at the entrance of the tent.
âBack for more?â I croaked. My throat was completely dry from the screaming. But, when I got my eyes open enough to see what the cause of the noise was, my heart stopped dead in itâs tracks.
Elain.
---
Before
I retreated from dinner early. As pitiful as it sounds, I couldnât be around it. I couldnât stand to see Azriel with her any longer. Not when I knew he was the one who was slowly healing her and ruining me.
Knocking at my bedroom door pulled me from my thoughts and I was looking into a book, not really reading it. âCome in,â I shouted.
The site of Azriel caught me off guard. Once upon a time, it was normal for him to seek me out from my room. Now, it simply wasnât. I couldnât help but tense.
âOh! Az!â I put my book down and stood. âHow are you doing?â I smiled up at him.
âYou would know if you hadnât left dinner so early.â He looked down at me, frowning and crossing his arms. It was rare that Az was upset with me.
âLook, Iâm sorry, Iâm tired after training today.â I gave him a sad smile, not wanting him to push the issue further. âBut please, tell me what I missed.â
This somehow made his shadows start to swirl around him and he huffed. âI was telling everyone how much progress Elain had made. Sheâs having actual conversations now.â He smiled at it, proud.
I tried not to show any hurt on my face. I have no right for this to hurt me. He was helping someone, and I had to be pitiful enough that I was jealous.
âThatâs amazing Az, youâve helped her a lot.â I let another smile grace my face. Before I knew what I was saying it was falling out of my lips, âBut, you do realize that she is mated, right?â
Azrielâs demeanor shifted. His shadows became agitated, âElain is a friend. She is going through a lot, and she needs support.â He sighed, âPlus, I think that cauldron could be wrong.â That sentence alone was enough to rip whatever was left in me to shreds. Why couldnât he see me?
I had to take a deep breath to keep the silver lining in my eyes in place. âAz, when in your life have you ever seen the cauldron be wrong? Why would it start being wrong now?â
âLook, maybe youâll understand one day, but itâs wrong about her and Lucien.â He crossed his arms now.
âIt sounds like you want to it be wrong. Whether it is, or not.â
Azriel was growing frustrated. His eyebrow ticked and he huffed, âCan you blame me for wanting something more?â
âShe is mated Azriel. Off limits.â I tried to stress him. âI donât want to see you hurt if it doesnât turn out the way you want.â I sighed. âI wouldnât want my mate ripped away from me, Iâm sure Lucien doesnât either.â He doesnât even realize that Iâm talking about him. Not a single clue.
âRipped away? Look Y/N, just because youâre alone, does not mean I have to be. Why are you making this about you?â He nearly snarled at me. Snarled. âI have finally found another purpose other than this war. I have found something, someone, to spend my time with and enjoy.â
His words hit me like an arrow to the chest. Alone. Maybe they all did see me, and they just didnât care. Why couldnât I be enough for him? Why hadnât in all the time and cherished memories we have together be enough. We had held each other in hardship. We had trained together. We had grown together. We had spent countless Starfalls together. We had shared so many laughs and touches. Why wasnât what we had enough for him?
The weight of Azrielâs words hung in the air, heavy silence settling between us. My heart ached with the sting of his remark, and I fought to keep any of my remaining composure.
I deflated, âAz,â I tried to sigh as he cut me off again.
âWell, maybe if you werenât so insecure, youâd see that Iâm just trying to help someone whoâs been through a lot. Youâre jealous and itâs clouding your judgment.â He stared at me, and I had to look away. I didnât realize it but I began to shake. I couldnât tell if it was from rage, or from the way my heart cracked as he spoke.
âI think you should go Az.â My voice began to break, and I could tell that my walls were going to come down. Not once had I ever asked him to leave.
His own eyes softened, and he reached for me, âWait.â
He tried to continue but I cut him off, âLeave, Azriel.â I turned to face away from him. I gathered my arms together. I couldnât let him see the tears that were rolling down my face, I wouldnât.
He pulled his arm back to himself and hesitated, seeing the pain he was causing me. Without another word, he turned and left, the door closing behind with a heavy finality.
---
Now
Elain. What the fuck was she doing here?
Seeing her tore me from my stupor. She acted as if she was in a trance, half there. I was really panicking now. I could take this torture and pain, Elain, I donât think she would last. I could hardly pull at my restraints at this point.
âElain! Elain!â I screamed at her, trying to get her attention. One of the males that was hauling her in, left her side and strolled to mine. Next thing I knew I was tasting my own blood in my mouth as his fist met with my face. As the blood welled up in my mouth, I felt rage hit me. I spat at him. His face now coated with the bloody saliva that he caused me.
He wiped his hand over his face, ridding it of its bloody covering. I snarled at him as he drew a blade. Good. This way the focus would stay on me and not Elain. He brought the blade to my face, slicing a thin mark down my cheek. âIf you wanted more, you couldâve just asked.â He trailed the blade down my neck, and now to my collar bone, all the while slicing lightly as he went. He brought his lips to my ear and his hand grabbed my face, âI have so much more than just blades and fists in store for you, girl.â
It was almost too hard to stomach. I didnât want to know what he was alluding to. Elain, do this for Elain. I told myself. I kept silent and he pushed me away, returning to the other male who was already putting Elain into restraints.
Why is she here? Why is she not fighting back?
As they finished with her restraints, Hybern himself walked back into the tent.
âCauldron be damned, if itâs not also Feyreâs cauldron made sister.â Hybern chuffed, âWe are truly going to have such a fun time together.â He chuckled as he looked between Elain and I.
He nodded at his men and they both reach for their knives. One for me. One for Elain.
âWait!â I blurted as I saw the man move toward Elaine, âPlease, leave her unharmed.â
âHmm,â hummed Hybern, âNow, tell me pretty thing, why would I do that?â
âSheâs a Seer. Please, you must leave her unharmed or she will be no use to anyone. She will not come out of any trance if she is harmed.â I didnât know if what I was blabbing was true. I only knew that I needed to protect Elain, for she could not protect herself.
Hybern nodded again at the male who was at Elainâs side. The male sheathed his blade and I let out a silent sigh.
âYou on the other hand,â Hybern turned his attention back on me, âI have some questions about pretty Elain.â A wicked smile reached the lips of the male in front of me, as he lifted his blade threatening. âYou, dear Y/N, best answer them.â
The male reached for my shirt and tore it in half. Now leaving my chest and abdomen exposed to the air, only a warriorâs wrap covering my breasts. I gasped at the bite of the air reaching my skin. My abdomen was littered with black and blue bruising from the beatings. The faebane in my system slowing any kind of healing.
I turned my face to a stone grimace. I could do this. I told myself. If nobody comes for you, then surely someone will come for Elain.
That truth hurt almost as much as the torture that I was being put through.
---
Before
It had been about a week since Iâd seen Azriel. The bond that used to hum in my chest felt vacant. Rhysand had sent me and Cassian to one of the Illyrian war bands that were positioned in case of an attack.
It was a single flaming arrow that was sent into a tent that set everything into utter chaos. Cassian was in the middle of a meeting with some of the other commanders, and I was in the training ring.
Hybernâs forces hit us as if we were nothing but an anthill in their way.
I donât know where Cassian was as I fought and fought, until I was brought down.
---
Now
I was hardly holding on. I had no energy to cry out anymore. No energy to even lift my own head up. My abdomen and back was near ribbons after that male drove his blade into me again and again.
Elain had seemed to snap in and out of it. When she was somewhat coherent, she would only cry. I felt bad for her, but I had done what I could do protect her. There wasnât a single scratch on her.
At thinking of Elain my mind drifted to Azriel. I wonder if heâs looking for me, if not, her.
The inner circle had to know that something was wrong at this point. I only hope that Cassian was also okay after we were ambushed. Iâm sure if he wasnât, heâd be right next to me also receiving the beatings I was.
Blood dripped down my back, creating a small pool under me. I truly didnât know how much longer I would last. I had never felt weaker in my life.
I shouldâve told him that night. Anguish was suffocating me. I found myself retracing everything I did as of late. The way I stole myself away from my family because I was being nothing but pitiful. The way they started to treat me differently. The way one no one would come to me anymore, and I would not go to them. No wonder they have left you here. You are nothing to them. My mind bit at me.
What truly bothered me was the downfall of mine as Azrielâs friendship. He was the one person I could always truly count on. If I had fallen in training, if I had drank too much, if some stupid male had broke my heart, it was always Azriel that had caught me, and me him. Itâs why I fell in love with him long before the bond snapped its place into my heart. And now I was going to die without him ever knowing. I was simply going to fade away as my blood pooled underneath me.
It's better this way. I told myself. Elain is unharmed, and I will fade before anyone knows of this bond. The war will be won and Az will be able to move on with someone he finds joy in.
I couldnât help but let tears run down my face. I wanted to scream, to find some way out, but with the faebane running through me, I was simply too weak.
---
I woke to the sound of rustling at the entrance of the tent. The rustling led to Elain, and I could hear her restraints being messed with. I nearly couldnât pry my eyes open at the sound. Maybe they would finally take me from my misery. I silently hoped. Thatâs when I heard a quiet gasp. I looked up to see.. Feyre? And behind her, the one messing with Elainâs chains, Azriel.
My heart lurched to a stop. They had come to help, we were going to get out.
âAzriel..â Feyre quietly said as he brought Elain into his arms.
âWhat.â He nearly hissed at her. Thatâs when he looked up and truly saw me.
âAz.. Feyre..â I choked on my words. Help was here. I was going to get out of here. To make it. Finally something positive bloomed in my chest in place of where that hole had found itself.
Azriel set Elain back down and rushed to my side. He put a hand to my cheek, âY/N, we couldnât find you anywhere. Cass, he said you were missing after the battle.â His touch sent shivers down my beaten spine.
My restraints still bore heavily into my wrists where I was strung up. Then, there was rustling and yelling coming from outside of the tent.
âHelp me down, please.â My voice was raw and pleading.
The yelling was getting closer and closer.
âAz, we have to leave, now.â Feyre said, trying to scoop Elain into her arms.
Azrielâs hand left my cheek, and panic flared into his eyes as he took in my state.
Hybernâs soldiers were coming, realizing something was wrong. Azriel looked between Elain and I, backing up from where I was strung up. He was backing away from me. Why was he backing away from me?
My own panic started to settle deep inside of me, long squashing any hope that had found itâs place.
âAzriel⌠please,â I coughed quietly. Dread was setting deeply inside of me. They didnât plan on saving two. They came here for Elain, not me.
A sob found itâs way onto my lips as he picked Elain from Feyreâs arms. Feyre herself looking torn, her eyes expressing so much anguish.
âWe will come back Y/N. I promise.â Azrielâs words were yet another punch to the gut.
I couldnât help but let the sobs I had been holding onto for so long bubble out of me.
âPlease donât leave me here.â I cried, no longer caring for the quietness. They both stiffened at the sound of my voice. âPlease,â I was gasping for air as this point, âIf youâre not going to take me, then at least put me down.â
Their eyes widened at my statement, but I couldnât hold for much longer. I needed this pain to end. This suffering to be over with.
âWe will be back. I will come straight back.â Azriel hushly stated. His eyes, those beautiful hazel eyes were boring into me. They were trying to convince me he was telling the truth, but I knew better. I knew that they were only getting into the camp once successfully.
They chose Elain. They were going to leave me behind.
âJust kill me, please kill meâŚâ I sobbed, âPlease if you are going to leave me behind, then just kill me.â
Feyre was crying now, and Azriel. I knew, that even though he was choosing Elain, Elain to save, and Elain to love, he still wouldnât harm me.
âIâm so sorry Y/N.â Feyre bubbled out of her crying lips as she quickly left the tent under her cloak.
Azriel and I made eye contact again through my sobbing, through the tears that were leaving my eyes in force. âI will be right back. I will come back for you.â And then, he was gone. With Elain in his arms.
I broke, truly broke. No weapon could hurt me as much as the sight of who I loved most, my mate, leaving me here, strung up and bleeding out.

by clicking read more you are agreeing to consume dark content. don't interact if you cannot differentiate fiction from reality.
"No, no, let's try that again, pet."
The monster looming above you muses, mischief gleams deep in those dreadful red eyes as Sukuna watches your trembling form at his feet. You're exposed to him, the white fabric of your drape drenched with blood and water from the unfortunate weather of the recent weeks; almost as if some higher being has been angered by your reunion.
Your hair is a tangled mess from where Sukuna's claws dragged you to kneel in front of him, and your lips are bruised thanks to a previous blow to your once-pretty face. The bitter taste of iron taints your tongue, yet the flavours pale in comparison to the horror that awaits every time Sukuna decides to let you out of your cage to 'play'.
"Iâ"
"Who do you belong to?" Sukuna interrupts, shattering the last fragments of your dignity.
"N-noâ"
No one. No one, you were trying to say. Youâve tried to tell him that for weeks, ever since he found you and claimed you, spouting wild fantasies of past lives and how, in every new one, he would always come to find you again.
But you canât even force those two small words past your lips before a harsh slap to your cheekbone sends fresh tears streaming down your face, sobs erupting from your throat. The claws digging into your cheeks sting, they tear at your skin as sharply as his words pierce your soul. "You belong to me. Youâre mine. My property, understand?"
He makes you nod, grinning as your tears glisten under the dim light of the fires dancing around his hall. "Repeat it for me." His deep voice rumbles ominously, the tip of his nose brushing almost affectionately against your tear-streaked cheek.
"I'm... I'm," you falter as your brows crease in disgust over the words about to escape your lips. Youâd rather die than give him the satisfaction, the defiant glare in your eyes stating as much as you meet his gaze.
"Say it," he drawls, his voice is sending shivers down your spine. Four eyes bore into you as Sukuna seems to grow larger with each passing second, his presence is suffocating.
Yet here you are, as helpless as an infant, yet as brave as a tiger whilst you shake your head in his iron grip. You donât even have time to blink before your face slams into the cold, unforgiving floor. Your cheek is pressed into a vile mixture of dried blood and water as a thunderstorm rages above, the temple trembling beneath its wrath.
You feel numb, the groan that escapes from deep within your lungs barely registering in your mind since you're fully overwhelmed by the high-pitched ringing that clouds your senses. But the violent tugging on your body snaps you back to this living nightmare as four hands tear at the flimsy fabric Sukuna dares to call a dress, leaving you naked and vulnerable under his cruel gaze.
Your tears mix with the blood running down the side of your temple as you stare up at him in horror. You wouldnât even be able to attempt to cover yourself, your limbs feeling as though they donât belong to you as they are pressed to the ground by two strong hands.
âLook at me.â
You comply, your eyes slowly focusing on the blurry demon as you blink the tears away. âStop, pleaseâŚâ you hear your own voice, shaky and weak, yet apparently utterly entertaining to Sukuna, judging by the grin etched on his face.
He guides your nimble fingers over his muscular body, across his black markings and prominent pecs, as his lips graze your ear. âIf youâd stop being so ungrateful⌠you could enjoy all of this,â his faint whisper tickles your neck, his hot breath contrasting with the icy cold water on your back. âJust say youâre mine. Admit it.â
âIâm not yours.â You donât even have time to groan as a third hand snakes around your throat and applies pressure to your airways, nails tearing through the first layer of your skin and continuing to dig deeper into your flesh.
âYouâre mine. You have been mine from the moment you were born, you dumb whore!â he snarls, fingers forcing their way through your tangled hair, exposing your neck to his teeth. Sukuna savours every drop of your blood, every dried tear and bead of sweat before his teeth sink into your body, eliciting a defeated whine from you. Yet itâs the fourth hand applying pressure to your hip bone that has you gasping in horror, a new set of tears welling up along your lash line as you vehemently shake your head in denial.
âYouâve been mine ever since your village offered me my soulmate, isnât that right?â he breathes, the devilish grin returning to his lips as he leans in to kiss you harshly. His tongue invades your mouth, spreading the taste of your blood to every corner before he pulls back, leaving only a thin string of saliva connecting your bodiesâ as faint and delicate as your bond to this monster.
âThey threw you at my feet. Offered me my toy to play with in exchange for protection.â His lips trail between your breasts, greedily pressing against your heaving chest and staining your skin as Sukunaâs journey takes him further south.
âDumb as they are. As if Iâd let anyone live who treats my property with such shame.â Sukuna traces the lines of your bondmark; the action almost seems adoring by how gentle his touch is before his nail redraws the lines in red.
âYouâre mine,â his eyes snap up to your face. âYouâll forever be mine. With every reincarnation, Iâll find you, claim you, and break you until youâre my queen again.â
Your voice finds its way back to you in this moment, as you cry out from the pain Sukuna inflicts on your body, his words reminding you of the horrors you witnessed that day.
How your mother dressed you in her finest dress and let you play princess, promising you the world as soon as you found your soulmate. Only for your father to push you to your knees in front of a demon, a curseâhim. Sukuna Ryomen.
And your eyes saw the lines on his side as the top of his yukata pooled around his hips. The same devious mark you had on your body ever since you were a baby.
You were cursed. The entire village treated you like a lesser being, like filth and a secret, promised to stay hidden until they could rid themselves of youâall because of legends passed down for hundreds of years about the only weakness the King of Curses holds.
They all too willingly tore the beautiful dress off your body and gave the devil not what he came for, but what he most desired.
âI don't want to be a monsterâs queen,â your bold statement makes Sukunaâs face deform into a hideous mask, violent laughter erupting from deep within his chest at the fighting spirit you try to uphold. âWere you not dreaming of the day your soulmate would find you like all those other pathetic little mortals do?â The words are nothing but a murmur; Sukuna doesnât even make it sound like a question, and he leaves no room for your reply eitherânot when black nails dig into the fat of your thighs or strong hands pin down your wrists to the floor. âI understand, you must be claimed, to learn to appreciate your life at my feet, pet.â
The most disgusting part of this moment is not the grimace looming above you, or the horror in Sukunaâs eyes, no, it's the feeling of a wet, hot tongue lapping at your cunt while this abnormality holds you spread open like youâre on a serving plate.
Sukuna sees the aversion on your face, the way your eyes squint before you have to look away once the pleasure starts to feel undeniable as he fucks you open on his tongue. The squelching is so lewd, you can only cry over yourself.
âStop your miserable act, whore,â Sukuna punctuates his words with a deep thrust of the thick tongue from his stomach, forcing a moan from you whether you like it or not.
The hand around your small wrists hurts, feeling as if Sukuna wants to actively burn his fingerprints into your skin as his eyes stare into the depths of your soul. You know where his tugging leads, know what you feel when the hot, sticky sensation meets the palm of your hand. Encased between your much smaller and Sukunaâs own large palm are his cocks. Your whimpers are unending as he forces your hand to drag over their shafts, his maniacal stare into your disgusted face unwavering. How dare you continue to insult him like that? You should feel grateful for his attraction towards you.
You whine the moment your head hits the floor once more, Sukuna easily pressing your form against the stone-cold ground, finally forcing your eyes to snap up to look directly into his red gaze.
There is no such thing as tenderness to be found in them, no love, no sympathy. The concept of soulmates is nothing but a nightmare for you.
âYouâre hurting meâŚâ you whisper in desperation, yet Sukuna only basks in this newfound tenderness in your eyes as fat tears stream down your cheeks.
âThen stop denying me!â Sukuna growls right next to your ear. His dominance and your own fear send shivers down your spine, rendering you limp beneath him.
The rough pads of his fingers squish your face beneath his gripâdisabling you from facing anything but him. âYou could have another fulfilled lifeâŚâ Is this tenderness you see in his eyes? Love he held for the yous from the past? It can't be. Not him. âBut you leave me no choice.â In one fell swoop, you find yourself back on your knees, your face brought up right in front of the tips of his cocks.
The cold flooring hurts your joints, making you wince once more, but your sounds are all the same to Sukunaâsimply confirmation of his influence on your body. In pleasure or pain? Who cares.
However, he notices the slight shake of your head. It's causing his grip on your hair to tighten, eliciting another loud whine from you.
Your dainty fingers try to ease his grip to no avail. âPlease, I don't deââ but the loud gulp of your throat cuts off any protest. The thick tip of Sukunaâs shaft spreads your mouth beyond your imagination, the salty flavour of his pre-cum coating your tongue and messing with your taste buds before he prods at the entrance to your throat, muscles trembling around his infiltration. You struggle to keep the choking at bay, swallowing back any disgusting liquids threatening to crawl back up.
Sukuna groans in satisfaction. His darkened eyes stare down at your weak figure, admiring your hollowed cheeks and stretched lips. His thumb sweetly swipes over your cheekbone, followed by a slap to the same area. When he pulls back, you choke up a mixture of nasty fluids, but there is no time to recover due to the way he forces your head to stay in place. Once more, you are overwhelmed by his length, his second needy cock now taking the spot inside your mouth. âSilence and a breedable womb are the best presents a woman can give.â As if to highlight his words, Sukuna pushes in deeper, the choked squeal of your panic drowned by his girthy cock as he holds your head in place, nails harshly digging into your scalp as he bottoms out.
His pelvis presses against your mouth and nose to further restrict your breathing. Every attempt at swallowing your saliva makes you feel his cock even more, it's almost impossible to stay conscious as Sukuna opts to abuse your throat only seconds after he enters you.
It hurtsâthe pistoning of his hips, the repetitive assault on your throat by his thick member, and the hateful words hitting your skin with no form of defence.
Demands to take it, to stop being weak and disgusting, are just a few of the many insults you have to endure. By now, your nails have left nasty scratches on his thighs as you desperately try to relieve some of the pain he forces on your body, while your mind isnât sure if passing out would be the safer option for your sanity.
Tears wonât stop running down your face. The mixture of your spit, tears, and his arousal creates a nearly disgusting flavour in your mouth, causing you to gag further on his cock.
âGet your act together,â Sukuna bites. At this point, it actually feels like he is ripping strands of your hair out due to his harshness.
But you canâtâitâs impossible, especially once you feel him twitch at the back of your throat, prodding against the muscles of your pharynx. The second your tongue can nearly trace the load of cum being pumped through his shaft, Sukuna pulls out. You didnât have time to notice him stroking his second cock, couldnât register fast enough the fate you were about to meet as one of his hands holds your head in place.
Sukunaâs deep moan rings through the echoing hall and sears into your memory while the white-hot seed lands on your face and chest, tainting your figure with his cum.
Itâs the most humiliating way of claiming you.
Sukuna kneels down to be at eye level with you, proudly taking in his all-white masterpiece before his thumb swipes part of his load off your cheek and holds it in front of your lips.
You glare at him, the hatred in your eyes a challenge he will fuck out of you. âDumb little bird,â he murmurs while smearing his cum over your tightly sealed lips before hoisting you up and over his shoulder in an instant.
Sometimes it is best to show patience. Most of the time, it is better to teach through pain. Your fate for the night shall be to learn to love your throne, positioned on top of Sukunaâs lap, stuffed beyond your capabilities until either your mind or your body gives out first.

Troilus design! (ft best dad Apollo) He's around 12 years old here.
Researching Troilus' story is not an easy task because unfortunately most of the ancient texts focused on him didn't survive and others only survived in fragments.
This story is brutal even for greek mythology standards so please keep that in mind if you want to continue reading this or do more research on your own.
Something that all of the versions seems to agree on is that he was a Trojan prince, son of queen Hecuba and was killed by Achilles. His father was either Apollo or Priam (Apollo fits more with the context of the story though).
Most of the versions also focus on Troilus' young age and he's often shown to be visibly shorter than Achilles on the vase paintings depicting his death.
The most popular version of the myth (which is also supported by ancient vase paintings) states that Troilus and his sister Polyxena (she's not preset in every version though) went outside of Troy on their horses and while they were at a fountain Achilles ambushed them.
Achilles then chased Troilus who tried to hide inside of Apollo's temple (possibly seeking his father's protection) but Achilles caught up to him and murdered Troilus either inside or in front of the temple and then brutally mutilated his body.
There 2 alternative reasons given for the murder:
1. There was a prophecy which said that if Troilus reached 21 years of age Troy would never fall.
2. Achilles fell in love with Troilus, tried to force himself on him and was enraged when the boy refused his advances. (This version seems to have more surviving evidence)
It could also be that the only reason that Achilles killed Troilus was the fact that he was a Trojan prince and therefore an enemy but this does not seem to fit with the brutality of the act.
Here are some vase paintings that show Troilus' death at the hands of Achilles
#please correct me if anything in the text is inccorect. Like I said this was hard to research and I don't want to spread any misinformation#Troilus#Apollo#Achilles#trojan war#tagamemnon#greek panteon#greek myths#greek mythology#greek gods#character design#my art#children of apollo

This is a non-burnt Vader fic. Everything is still intact and has been âenhancedâ by the dark side of the force.
âNow behave yourself, jedi, the lord will be with you shortly.â The male attendant sneered, taking great joy in your current predicament.
Standing there, wearing nearly nothing; you tried your best to maintain what little dignity you had left. You gave him a small nod and muttered a quick thanks, before stepping inside the room.
âTry not to have too much fun,â he chuckled darkly and closed the door behind him.
Hearing the locks hiss into place, you began to reflect on the events that led up to this moment.
It had only been a few nights ago that you stood in the templeâs meditation garden. Waiting patiently for your beloved master to return from an âemergency meetingâ. When your private comlink was hailed, his voice ringing out from it. âRun. Run swiftly. Run to me.â
Everything was fragmented and hazy after that.
The night sky was orange. There were cries of agony and pain all around you. The temple, your home, was engulfed in flames.
You felt utterly hopeless. Worried horribly about your master. Completely devastated at the thought of not saying those words to him one last time.
You tried to run, but someone tugged hard on your arm. Yelling at you to come with them, to ignore his call. Something happened to that someone in a blaze of blue light.
You were no longer being pulled, but carried away from the chaos. Being whispered to that it was âall going to be okay, youâre safeâ.
Thatâs when your whole world went dark.
When you awoke, you found yourself locked up in a holding cell. Dressed in the most ridiculous outfit you have ever seen. One that left very little to the imagination.
You did not remain there long. Soon after, the male attendant had arrived. He, along with a pair of clone troopers, then escorted you swiftly to their lordâs private quarters. Apparently, this Vader fellow wanted to have an audience with you rather badly.
It was with this grim thought in mind that the weight of your situation truly set in.
You were alone. Stuck on an unknown planet, which you could feel was entirely encompassed in the dark side of the force. You were without your saber, itâs comforting presence no longer hanging from your hip. And, most gravely, you were about to presumably meet a sith lord.
Scanning your surroundings, you hoped to find something you could possibly use to defend yourself. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the lavish bed chamber that would provide much help.
You heard the door behind you slide open and then close.
Swallowing hard, you tried to compose yourself. Your master had always said to keep your wits about you when facing down an enemy. To stay centered within the force. To keep your mind clear.
How you so wished he was here with you now.
âI am, padawan of mine.â
Your eyes grew wide. âMaster?â You asked, your voice barely a whisper. âIs that really you?â
Not waiting for an answer, you quickly whirled around. Instantly, a wave of relief washed over you. Standing before you, a gentle smile on his face, wasâŚ
âItâs meâ, Anakin muttered.
Without a second thought you ran to him. And he easily scooped you up into his strong arms.
Burying your face into his tunic; you finally let the hot tears flow free. âAni, it was horrible!â You sobbed softly.
Stroking your hair, he gently swayed back and forth with you. âSsh, itâs okay. Itâs all over.â
You squeezed him tight and whimpered. âI thought I had lost you.â
âHey, look at me.â Hooking two fingers under your chin, he tilted your face upwards. âWeâre never going to lose each other.â
Placing his hand on your cheek, he wiped away a stray tear with his thumb. âI made sure that we will always be togetherâŚno matter what,â he said malevolently.
Hearing his tone, it was as if you were suddenly released from sort of spell. Anakin was no longer the same, in oh so many ways.
His entire form had changed. He once only stood a head and a half taller, and now he absolutely dwarfed you. His hands were huge. His muscles blown enormous. He looked like an absolute beast, with yellow eyes and a heavy dark aura to match.
Maker, help you. He was the sith lord and you were finding it hard to resist him.
âAni,â you spoke slowly, reaching to place a tiny hand on his chiseled chest. âWhat have you done?â
âNothing you need to concern yourself with, angel,â he replied nonchalantly. âI did what was necessary.â
Tightening his arm around your waist, he somehow pulled you in even closer. âYou should be more worried about what Iâm going to do to you in that outfit,â he whispered huskily.
A small squeak escaped you as you were suddenly swept off your feet and whisked over to the bed.
Trapped underneath him, it truly sunk in how utterly massive he had becomeâŚand how tiny you were in comparison. You shivered at the thought. Whether it was from fear or excitement, you werenât quite sure.
âWhat is it, padawan?â He chuckled, hovering above menacingly. âAfraid of your master?â
You shuddered once more as Anakin brushed his clothed length against your inner thigh. Stars, he felt gigantic. âNo, master,â you whimpered.
A wide grin spread across his handsome face. âGood, because this is where the fun begins.â
He crashed his lips into yours. The kiss was hungry and passionate. The kind that made you wrap your arms around his thick neck and desperately pulled him closer, deepening it.
You could hear a rumble of approval in his chest. The sound causes a warmth to spread throughout your entire body.
Parting for air, Anakin gave you a mischievous look before burying his face into your neck. He kissed and bit at the sensitive flesh. Making you purr. Marking you as his for all to see.
His hand, all the while, lazily slid down your form. Coming to rest on your breast, he cupped and gave it a firm squeeze. Eliciting a soft moan from you.
âI love the sounds you make for me,â he muttered against your skin.
âAni,â you mewled, hands tangling in his golden curls.
âI wonder,â he murmured, his lips trailing down your body. âWhat kind youâll make when I do this?â
âKriff!â You cried out as his warm mouth wrapped around your nipple. Sucking and nibbling at it through the paper-thin fabric. Causing your back to arch, your hips glancing one another in a fiery touch. You both groaned.
âOr better yet,â he whispered, sitting back on his legs. âWhat delicious sound will escape you when I do this?â With the wave of his two fingers, Anakin used the force toâŚ
You let out a frightened squeal as the meager clothes were torn from your form. Instinctively you tried to cover yourself up with your hands, but he easily captured them in his much large one.
Pinning your arms above your head, he playfully scolded. âNow, now, donât be shy. Let me see that beautiful body, little one.â
That name, it made you shiver. You could feel the dampness and you both knew it had shot straight to your soaking core.
âOh? You liked that didnât you?â He taunted, running his other big hand up and down your leg.
Wriggling beneath him, your cheeks burned hot. âI-I did, master,â you replied weakly.
He laughed darkly at your embarrassment and gave your hip a firm squeeze. âTell me, tiny padawan of mine, what else would you like?â
âYour cock,â you whimpered. âI would like your cock inside of me.â
âAre you sure about that?â He mocked, flashing you a smirk.
Anakin used the force once more. This time removing his own clothes. RevealingâŚ
Your eyes widened and your mouth went dry. He was absolutely massive, a true monster. And yet, you wanted him oh so badly.
âPlease!â You begged; your voice laced with need. âWant it!â
âI donât know.â He laid his heavy cock on your pussy, dragging it slowly between your folds. âYou were barely able to take me before I became like this. Arenât you afraid of what will happen now?â
You moaned softly as you found yourself slipping into a haze. âDonât care! Need it!â
Suddenly, he removed all friction. You were about to whine in protest, until you felt him lining himself up with your entrance.
âAll right, donât say I didnât warn you.â
In a single, fluid motion, he pushed inside of you.
The two of hissed together, as you took every thick inch.
âSo tight,â he growled as he bottomed out.
âSo big,â you mewled. Relishing how full it made you feel. How his tip was dangerously pressed against your cervix.
Hiking your thighs onto his hips, he snaps them forward. Pounding into you at a brutal pace. Giving you no time to adjust to his colossal size.
âA-AniâŚâ You slurred, eyes going crossed from the stretch. âS-So big, An-AniâŚâ
He groaned at seeing your tummy bulge every time he thrusted back into you. âYes, so big and yet your tiny cunt is taking me so well. Tell me, hatari, how much do you love it?â
You could feel the heat beginning to build in your core, tugging at you. âI love it! Love it so much!â
âNeedy little thing,â he grunted. âBe a good girl now, let me into that perfect womb of yours. Going to fill you up so full. Going to make you heavy with the heir to my new empire.â
âM-MasterâŚâ You could barely form a sentence; you were so overwhelmed.
With a few more deep thrusts, he breached past the tight rim. Getting exactly what he wanted. âThatâs it, thatâs my sweet padawan,â he cooed.
You could feel the tears of ecstasy running down your cheeks. Your pussy clenching around him from the extra stretch. You were so painfully close and Anakin could tell.
âLet go,â he panted. âWeâll cum together, just like always.â
You went crashing over the edge. Mind blanking as waves of pleasure rolled through you.
His cock twitched inside of you. Filling you to the brim and beyond with his seed. Making your stomach round.
Catching your breath. Smiling warmly at one another. You both basked in the afterglow of it all.
Lacing his fingers with yours, still buried deep within you. Anakin placed a tender kiss on your forehead and whispered. âI love you. Youâre going to look so beautiful carrying our child, my empress.â
A cold chill ran through you as you came back down from your high. You knew you should be terrified. That you should be distraught over the events that led up to this.
But as you gazed up into those yellow eyesâŚnone of that mattered anymore. All that did was you being right by his side.
âI love you too, Lord Vader.â

The low buzz of conversation filled the ops room as the post-mission monitors cycled down to standby mode, casting the console banks in a moody dimness. You sank back in your chair with an audible exhale, shrugging off the lingering tension like a weighty second skin.
Beside you, Okonogi let her sleek locks tumble free as she dragged her ponytail loose. With her eyes closed, she worked delicate fingertips against her temples as if to physically dispel the lingering data streams from her consciousness.
"Well, that was...intense," Aiko groaned from across the room, her languid stretch making the chair groan softly. "But we killed it as always, ladies!"
Murmurs of exhausted agreement rippled through the cluster of support staff. You kept your expression carefully neutral, concentrating on your outward monitor while inwardly hyperaware of the pronounced ache between your legs.
Because with every micro-shift in your seat, you felt the thick, obscene remnants of Soshiro's ardent efforts from earlier...viscous evidence of the wild, punishing lovemaking session he'd subjected your body to before the mission ops couldn't commence in earnest.
Flashes of blinding rapture sparked behind your eyes in fragmented bursts: the brutally perfect sting of his palm cracking across your bare ass as punishment for making noise...the indecent squelching suction of his thick cock pounding into your swollen depths over and over until you sobbed...the sublimely cruel flick of his wicked tongue around your clit while your thighs shuddered against his ears...
You bit back an involuntary moan, silently thanking every deity you could name for the dimness concealing your furious blush. The ache in your core only intensified further with each subtle provocation reminding you of Soshiro's generous parting "gift" still smeared and throbbing within...
"Okay, but did anyone else notice Vice Captain Hoshina out there today?" Yumi's lower tones broke through the post-op daze like a splash of ice water. "Or am I just so touch starved that I'm projecting my thirsty vibes onto him?"
The suggestive lilt in her voice said she knew damn well she wasn't imagining things. An anticipatory hush fell over the desks as multiple sets of eyes swiveled towards Yumi with an almost audible gleam.
"Oh no, honey - I noticed him too!" Emi purred throatily without missing a beat. She reclined further in her chair, one foot propping up on the edge of her console as if to maximize her own visibility. "All that raw, barely-leashed power and brute strength just simmering beneath the surface and ready to BURST with each swing of that sword?"
Titters of salacious delight greeted her overtly lascivious pause. You tried to focus on keeping your breathing measured and even, but were viscerally aware of your pulse thundering against your blushing throat. Because Emi's lurid insinuations only cast your thoughts spiraling to how accurately she captured Soshiro's merciless, feral intensity when truly unleashed upon your quivering body...
You recalled with perfect clarity the last time you'd been the object of that simmering ferocity let fully off the chain. Three nights ago, behind the soundproofed walls of the training room after hours as he'd pinned your naked, sweat-slicked form against the mirror with punishing force.
"You want this, my sweet slut?" he'd growled in that sub-rumbling baritone saturated with bestial promise. "You want your master's thick cock stretching you wide and ruining this greedy little hole of yours once and for all?"
Your whimpering assent had shredded on a desperate keen when Soshiro abruptly hilted himself balls-deep within your swollen pussy in one brutally unhurried stroke. The volcanic heat of him stuffed so relentlessly full inside robbed your lungs of air, leaving you gasping and boneless as he loomed behind - a conquering force of nature poised to split you asunder over and over again...
You tamped down hard on the sizzling memories even as a fresh gush of arousal pulsed needily against your throbbing walls. It took every ounce of wherewithal not to audibly whine or squirm.
Meanwhile, the salacious gossiping had only escalated further while you spiraled.
"I bet the Vice Captain tastes as intensely delicious as he looks when he's all sweating and riled up like that, too." The explicit slurp Aiko tacked on left nothing to the imagination. "God, I would murder just about anyone for a chance to get a mouthful of him after a mission that brutal..."
A round of scandalous giggles rang out over the desks as your cheeks flamed darker than ever before. Of COURSE Aiko would imagine such depraved cravings towards the man. And of course, you knew first-hand just how utterly transcendent indulging in that very sordid desire really was when sinking to your knees before Soshiro. How his thick, punishingly delicious cock stuffed your mouth so completely full, your jaw ached exquisitely as he pumped in and out with escalating savagery...
You'd swallowed him down to the root on that occasion like the obedient slut he'd called you. Forced to breathe in desperate snuffles through your flaring nostrils as Soshiro grasped brutal handfuls of your hair, anchoring your mouth as an eager receptacle for his lust. Only when you were sputtering and drooling around his shaft did he allow you respite, thick ropes of salty cum hosing across your tongue while he groaned his perverse pleasure...
Another treacherous gush of liquid heat caught you off-guard, forcing you to shift minutely and bite your lower lip to stifle a plaintive noise. Outwardly, you remained every inch the demure, focused operative reviewing post-op data alongside some of your peers. Inwardly, you were a boiling maelstrom of lust-soaked humiliation and rampant need.
Because their casual, lurid fantasizing and rumors amounted to so little when held against the viscerally depraved undercurrent of your relationship with Soshiro. How he revelled in making you the most fucked-out, overstimulated little toy - rendered profoundly insensible from having every one of your limits smashed and boundaries redrawn around his potent,mercilcally uncompromising lovemaking.
"Wait, but...since we're on the subject of the Vice Captain getting riled up..." Emis's voice took on a lasciviously loaded tone that immediately commanded the room's attention. "Has anyone else heard the whispers going around lately about him maybe having a...special lady friend of his own that he's been getting alllll riled up for behind closed doors?"
The tension in the air immediately kicked up several shuddering notches as every support staff operative stopped breathing in unison. Even Okonogi's usually stern features betrayed feverishly piqued interest at those delicious implications.
As for you...in that endless suspended moment, you felt every ounce of arousal and lingering fluids sloshing within your abused and claimed body turn to molten panic. Because they were finally approaching the subject permanently etched into your every waking thought and fevered dream.
The forbidden, utterly perverse reality of you being the secret lover in question - Soshiro's chosen conquest and receptacle for every licentious, primal urge he couldn't vent upon any other. Your only role to feed his basest hungers and cravings for total carnal domination over a yielding, feminine form built for the express purpose of desperate pleasuring.
You shuddered hard enough for the wheels of your chair to squeak against the console alcove as a fresh bloom of humiliation washed over your features. The girls' speculating scrutiny prickled like smoldering embers against your cheeks.
Over the next few minutes, every tiny detail and explict rumor you'd been trying so diligently to ignore was about to spill forth like a bursting delta of perverse conjecture. They would doubtlessly paint vile, viscerally pornographic imagery with every crude supposition - all while failing to even graze the shuddering, soul-shattering truth.
That after each mission or training regimen, it was you and you alone who became Soshiro's personal oasis for slaking his needs. That he claimed you over and over in bestial, punishing raptures - stretching you to the point of delirium while spasming deep inside, pumping raw viscous lashings of his essence into your core until you grew drunk on his musky feral musk.
That he had turned you into an obscenely babbling, ruined thing - mewling and thrashing and enduring ritualistic despoilments of your body again and again without reprieve, your only solace being the sublime respites between each shattering orgasm where he whispered salacious praise into the sweaty hollow of your throat.
The mere reminder of what was to come while trapped among their obliviously speculating ranks caused you to silently keen. You covertly pressed your trembling thighs together, desperate to alleviate the liquid throbbing echoing from your innermost chambers.
But it was no use. Every subsequent rumor exhaled into the ripe air only stoked the smoldering coals of your hunger higher...until your entire being cried out for Soshiro's deliverance in the form of complete despoilment - mind, body, and soul - before their very eyes.
"Wait, back up - did you say the Vice Captain might have a lover?" Chika sputtered, eyes wide behind her glasses. "As in, some special lady friend he's been shtupping on the down-low?"
A weighted pause crystallized as all eyes turned towards Emi with rapt fascination. The sly grin curling her lips spoke volumes before she even had a chance to confirm the tantalizing rumor.
"Oh, there's definitely some people going around alleging as much," Emi purred in a treacly lilt that had your pulse kicking up a notch. "In fact, things are getting pretty heated about the mysterious identity of this supposed lover and just what kind of freaky bedroom activities might be going on..."
The weighted silence that followed her lascivious statement seemed to crush inwards from all sides. You fought to keep each inhale steady and measured, feeling the dense viscosity of Soshiro's earlier deposit shifting indecently within your clenching walls at every provocation.
Like a lurid siren song, it beckoned you to surrender to the truth - to reveal yourself as the one providing your powerful Vice Captain with succor in his most primal, unrestrained throes of need. The one bearing the stickied evidence of his virility at this very moment as a perverse trophy.
The thought alone made you shiver with humiliated yearning even as Okonogi tutted in clear disapproval.
"Oh for gods' sake...are we really stooping to such sophomoric gossip now?" she chided, glaring around the room. "Have some discretion and professionalism, ladies. We all know rumors like that are utter bullâ"
"But what if they aren't, though?" Ayumi suddenly cut in with palpable glee. "I meannn...let's be real here, Okonogi. Our Vice Captain is like, the human embodiment of raw alpha dominance, right? That kind of raw sexual intensity HAS to get channeled somewhere beyond just training and fighting!"
A salacious titter circulated in the wake of her words. You bit down hard on the inside of your cheek until you tasted copper, fighting the mortified urge to sink beneath the desks and simply disappear. Because where they projected lurid speculation and pedestrian fantasy, your reality with Soshiro dwarfed everything on an order of magnitude.
"She's kinda got a point..." Chika chimed in with exaggerated thoughtfulness. "Just picture it: the poor guy's probably all pent up after all those ops. He HAS to be unleashing that somewhere when the pressures build too much, right?"
More depraved chuckles and giggles swelled around you as a fresh gush of slick arousal pulsed deep within your abused body. Because that's exactly what transpired after each and every assignment - Soshiro storming into whatever private oasis you'd arranged, seizing your pliant form with bruising force and subjugating you for hours on end in an endless gauntlet of volcanic couplings.
His ruinous thickness would ream you asunder again and again in merciless strokes until the potent, musky seed he'd been hoarding boiled free in hot, viscous lashings...only for his ferocious hungers to roar back to life minutes later, the cycle beginning anew until you became a spent, thoroughly abused mess of oversensitized nerves shaken to your very core.
"Well aren't you all just charming today," Okonogi grumbled through gritted teeth. "Whether or not Vice Captain Hoshina engages in...intimate relations during his personal time is utterly irrelevant. We should focus onâ"
"Okaaay, but can we at least take a sec to appreciate what an absolute monster in the sack he must be?" Emi interjected before the lecture could gain momentum. "I'm talking full beast mode...utterly destroying some poor girl through multiple orgasms and leaving her wrecked in the best way possible for days afterward!"
You whimpered audibly before you could bite it back, memories of Soshiro's last marathon claiming session assaulting your consciousness in vivid detail. The look of ravenous possession distorting his chiseled features as he hilted himself inside your slick, swollen entrance over and over...the steadily escalating volume of your frantic cries as he hammered his pulsing, volcanic length against that sublime innermost cluster of nerves repeatedly...his ruthless stamina and refusal to allow you even a moment's respite as you pathetically begged for mercy amid each shattering climax only to be hurled towards bigger, more brilliant heights of rapture...
Emi released another lurid chuckle, either not catching your stifled noise or willfully ignoring it. "Ooh yes, I can picture it now...Vice Captain just railing her silly from behind, putting that athletic cock to goooood use stretching her out and making her see stars over and over again..."
A breathless chorus of tortured gasps and giggles greeted the gauche fantasy as more wanton giggling erupted. Only you remained frozen in mortified silence, dizzy from the memories and visceral recollections pummeling you alongside each descriptive stroke.
Because that was among Soshiro's favorite methods of possessing you completely - gripping your hair in a punishing fist and dragging you back into his waiting shaft in one ruthless stroke, mouth agape and vertebrae straining to accommodate his ferocious pace from behind. Over and over he would split your swollen pussy lips apart with violent snap of his toned hips until every upstroke ground agonizingly against that spongy cluster inside and sent you spiraling into oblivion.
Only after you dissolved into an animalistic, mewling wreck in the wake of your latest orgasmic spiral would Soshiro finally allow you ragged relief as he snarled his own savage release to the hilt. You'd gasp and shudder brokenly while he pumped obscene ropes of viscous heat into your abused quim, painting your womb in thick virile ropes until you grew delirious on the potent musk alone...
"Maybe we should...change the subject?" Okonogi's hesitant suggestion only drew more snickering derision, easily overshadowed by the wave of obscene conjecture washing over the room now.
"Nah, where's the fun in that? This is JUICY stuff, Okonogi!" Ayumi all but crowed with wicked delight. "But seriously, what are the odds Vice Captain Hoshina is super gentle and tender with his secret lover? I feel like such raw, unfettered power like that HAS to demand surrendering control in bed too, right?"
More affirmative murmurs of agreement cut through the low din, your fingers clenching into bloodless crescents in your palms. Because they couldn't be further from the truth in assuming any sense of vanilla 'tenderness' held sway during your trysts with Soshiro.
Instead, his almost ritualistic claiming of your body embodied the most exquisitely merciless domination imaginable. You were a powerless plaything to be subdued and thoroughly used until lying shattered and spent in the ruined aftermath, an empty vessel to be pumped endlessly full of his searing essence until leaking and insensate.
No, there was no 'surrendering control' to be had - only being stripped of all remaining autonomy in stages until you became an overwrought flesh-puppet and Soshiro held the strings. An endlessly overwhelmed conduit through which he vented his basest, most violently licentious hungers without restriction or limits of any kind...
"Nah, I bet with all that brooding quiet intensity our Vice Captain rocks, he's probably a total beast in the sheets!" Emi's husky intonation rang with shuddering promise even through the outrageous slang. "Pinning that secret lover down and making her whole world shake with how hard and deep heâ"
"Oh my GOD, do you even HEAR yourselves right now?!" Okonogi's outraged shout detonated through the crackling quiet with startling abruptness. Fortunately, you were ready - the ample distraction provided cover for a tiny, relieved gasp as more liquid fire blossomed outward from your very core.
For a long, pregnant pause, everyone simply stared at your flustered team leader in stunned silence. Finally, Aiko let out a bark of sardonic laughter that rapidly infected everyone else like a virus until you were surrounded by unchecked amusement on all sides.
"Aw relax, Chief! We're all just blowing off a little steam here after that crazy heat from the mission," she soothed with a placating wave. "No harm, no foul in a little good-natured gossiping about our dear Vice Captain's...extra-curricular activities, right? Isn't that what you innocent young ladies get off on fantasizing abâ"
This time, it was your turn to whip around with matching outrage painting your flush across your features - playing directly into the innocent, doe-eyed persona they'd all somehow cast you into over the years. As if you would never be party to such salacious conjecture about a direct superior's personal affairs!
That harmless, virginal act effectively sliced through the ribald atmosphere with startling efficiency. Though you knew it was only a matter of time before the torrid gossip stream picked back up in full force once more...
Leaving you hopelessly squirming and slickening around Soshiro's musky parting gift as each fevered recollection came barging back in to stake its claim upon your fracturing thoughts. Just another tantalizing prelude to the moment he inevitably stalked into your midst like a ravenous beast, senses immediately honing in on the debauched syrup of your delirium untilâ
The heavy thud of boot steps preceded Soshiro's arrival, each measured fall carrying an authoritative weight that sliced through the hushed atmosphere like a granite obelisk.
Conversations petered out in fitful spurts as he stalked into the ops room, shoulders rolling fluidly beneath his fitted jacket. You felt rooted to your chair in a full-body stilled trance, suddenly hyperaware of every indecent shift and subtle glug of Soshiro's lingering deposit pulsing within your depths.
His eyes were shuttered to mere slits beneath heavy lids as the Vice Captain executed a languorous sweep of his surroundings. Though outwardly relaxed, you detected the infinitesimal dilation of those flaring nostrils - scenting the airborne currents like a predator detecting potential incursions upon his territory.
Which is exactly what this space represented while the mission transpired and the room hummed with activity. His domain to command as he saw fit without interference or question. A realm you and the other operatives submitted to his watchful oversight in totality.
But something in the weighted stillness alerted Soshiro that some subtle line may have been edged over in his temporary absence. You could perceive the nearly subliminal stiffness entering his shoulders, each micro-movement radiating a sensual coiled menace as his roving stare continued dissecting every occupied station.
Until, at last, his searing focus settled directly upon where you remained trapped in posture of perfect stillness. His heavy-lidded gaze raked over your form in a molten brand, seeming to scorch away every layer of modesty and formality until only naked, vulnerable truth remained.
Soshiro's tongue peeked out to drag across his lower lip in one slow, considering sweep. You tensed imperceptibly, instinctively clenching around the tepid smear of lingering spend in anticipation of whatever unvoiced judgment roiled behind that burgundy stare.
"Everything all right here, ladies?"
The rich, sub-basso rumble of Soshiro's inquiry sluiced through the weighted quiet like a lascivious caress along your feverish skin. You struggled not to squirm, gut clenching at his tone's undisguised implication that something was clearly off-kilter upon his arrival.
"N-Not at all, Vice Captain!" Okonogi promptly squared her shoulders with a determination bordering on overcompensation. "We were just...discussing the mission debrief and objectives for the next cycle."
Soshiro's weighted stare didn't so much as flinch from its heavy study of your flushed expression. You could practically sense the potent curiosity and smoldering undercurrent of possession radiating off him in waves, inexorably dragging his next words straight into your core.
"I see..."
The low, gravel-rough utterance seemed to shiver along your nerve endings like a physical caress. Each subtle hitch and micro-tremor jolting through your frame felt magnified tenfold beneath Soshiro's watchful, piercing perusal.
"In that case, Y/N," he rumbled after a pause far too salacious and suggestive to go unmarked. "I'll need you to provide me a detailed account in my office shortly."
His tongue made another considering sweep over his full lower lip as the weighty syllables rang out with subterranean promise.
"There were a few operational aspects I want to go over more thoroughly..."
You shuddered finely despite your best efforts, feeling the salacious demand undulating between each lascivious cadence like serpentine heat. Some primal, feminine part of your psyche stretched out in breathless longing towards Soshiro's scrutiny - craving nothing more than to unfurl yourself for his rapacious appraisal behind closed doors.
To disrobe each inch of propriety and protectively he shielded you with until only quivering truth remained naked before his hunger. Open...pliant...ready to accommodate and receive whatever scorching reprimands or bestial attentions he deemed fit to inflict...
But outwardly you remained frozen with carefully cultivated opacity, painfully aware of the entire room's scrutiny trained upon the two of you with rapt interest. You forced your gaze to meet Soshiro's burning stare directly, chest constricting with the effort of keeping your voice level and unbothered.
"I...have reports to file, sir," you managed in a tone of vaguely apologetic neutrality. "Perhaps we could go over it another time?"
For an endless, loaded moment, Soshiro betrayed no outward reaction save for the slightest tightening around those sensual full lips. You imagined you could detect the harshgrate of enamel grinding mere inches away as his jaw torqued infinitesimally tighter.
Then, without fanfare, he inclined his head in a measured fraction of a nod - belying none of the raptor-like intensity simmering behind those hooded crimson depths.
"Very well," he rumbled in a cadence dripping with unspoken assurances. "Don't be too long - I'll be expecting that report on my desk by the end of the day."
He let the words resonate with iron finality for a suspended beat before turning on his booted heel with that same coiled, predatory grace he'd entered with. Not another look was spared for anyone else as the Vice Captain stalked out of the room, movements telegraphing that same subtle aura of male power and virility.
Only once the echoes of Soshiro's measured footfalls faded into silence did you become properly aware of the weight of multiple stares bearing down upon you from the others arrayed around the room.
Confusion, uncertainty, unmistakable embers of piqued curiosity and prurient envy...every shade of turbulent emotion simmered within their variously flushed expressions as if begging to breach the surface.
Yet you couldn't begin to find it within yourself to explain or dissemble before stoking those percolating flames any further. Instead, you simply exhaled a shaking breath and studiously avoided their questioning looks - too consumed by the lingering brand of Soshiro's stare and the soul-trembling promise it heralded for whatever was to come later.
Much, much later when you could finally unveil your truth for him once and for all. Just as he demanded with that low rumble and unspoken glyphs of lascivious fire smoldering in your wake.
The empty hallway stretched in shadowed silence before you as you made your way towards the exit, footfalls echoing with hollow finality. You'd lingered as long as possible in the operations room, determined to avoid any further confrontation after Soshiro's loaded summons earlier.
However, the steady emptying of staff as evening crept closer eventually forced your departure. You steeled yourself against the prospect of potentially crossing paths with the Vice Captain en route. The thickening tension simmering between you two felt ready to detonate into a supernova at the slightest provocation.
You rounded the corner, almost home free, when a powerful hand shot out and clamped around your elbow in an inescapable vise. A startled cry withered in your throat as you were forcibly hauled sideways with blistering momentum into the gaping threshold of an unoccupied meeting room.
The breath expelled from your lungs in a harsh rasp as your back collided with the wall. You had a fleeting second to take in the dim, stale atmosphere around you before an immense presence materialized - utterly blotting out all else as searing heat and masculine musk engulfed your senses.
"Did you really think you could avoid me that easily, little one?" Soshiro's subterranean rumble dripped with dark promise against the sensitive whorls of your ear.
You shuddered helplessly as his powerful frame pinned you in place, the scorching brand of his body aligned against yours in one searing line from chest to hip. Soshiro didn't afford you even a breath to respond before his mouth descended in a punishing, open-mouthed invasion.
The shocked gasp you exhaled was swallowed whole as he instantly took scorching possession of your lips. His tongue plunged past your slack defenses in a relentless, thrusting cadence that stoked blazing embers low in your abdomen.
Finally, Soshiro wrenched his mouth free with a carnal growl that reverberated straight to your shuddering core. You gasped desperately for air, mouth swollen and glistening with the lingering evidence of his ravenous claiming.
"I asked you..." he rasped against the reddened curve of your throat, drunk on drinking in your debauched state, "Did you think you could avoid me so easily after those tantalizing whispers started making the rounds?"
All you could manage was a tremulous whimper as Soshiro nipped viciously at the thundering pulse in your neck. Sharp bursts of pleasure-pain blossomed with each punishing graze of his teeth - possessive markers of his dominance scoring your sensitized flesh.
"I should have known better..." He snarled the words like ash and gravel, "Than to expect my sweet little slut could keep her mouth shut and her damn thoughts in order around the others."
He punctuated the heated condemnation by grinding his clothed cock against your core in one savage roll of powerful hips. You jolted against him with a gasping cry, suddenly aware of your own swollen pussy gushing fresh desire with each delicious provocation.
"Open," Soshiro growled against the pliant seam of your slack lips. "Let me see if your greedy little mouth can make up for your shitty excuses."
Before you could react, he seized a fistful of your hair in an unforgiving grip, cruelly angling your skull back as he plundered your mouth anew. His kiss was nothing but liquid heat and savagery - all violation and sin and rapacious demand to surrender utterly. You could only keen against the ruthless onslaught as his tongue forged deeper, stroking and consuming without quarter.
At last, Soshiro wrenched his ravening mouth free with a bestial snarl, the thin trail of saliva connecting your swollen lips only enhancing the depravity. His ruby gaze bored into yours with banked, molten intensity that made you want to spontaneously combust.
"Strip." The guttural command brooked no argument as he took an unhurried step backwards, freeing you from the cage of his lush heat. "Down to those cute little panties of yours, slut. I want to see the aftermath of my...earlier efforts before ruining you all over again."
You trembled bodily at the dark promise laced behind each provocative syllable. But you knew better than to hesitate or dissemble. Not when Soshiro's eyes had taken on that churning, vermillion glaze of absolute predatory hunger.
With shaking hands and stuttering inhales, you obeyed the directive - shucking your uniform until you stood nude before him save for those last shreds of modesty. Soshiro's intense scrutiny raked over your freshly bared form in long, devouring sweeps that made you want to instinctively squirm.
His eyes darkened to pools of crimson fire as they settled on the apex of your trembling thighs. You swallowed thickly, paralyzed beneath his raptor-like focus zeroing in on the ripe, musky evidence of his earlier claiming still glistening against your flushed folds.
"Look at you..." Soshiro growled in a tone skirting delirious rapture, "My sweet little whore - still dripping and swollen with her master's cum after all these hours, leaking like the perfect cocksleeve she is."
A tremor wracked your entire frame as fresh slick bloomed outward from your molten core at his crass words. The humiliating, delicious recollections flooded back in - vivid daydreams from earlier in the day, fueled by idle gossip and your teammates' unwitting conjecture.
Except in reality, their crudest suppositions didn't even manage to scratch the surface of your fealty and submission towards your utterly dominant Vice Captain. In the end, Soshiro alone reigned supreme over your broken, ruined form.
Only he could pour such perversities behind your ears with honeyed relish and make you swoon towards his very boots in supplication...
*"On your knees, slut," Soshiro ordered with an insouciant flick of his fingers as he began unbuckling his belt. "Since your efforts to remain discreet proved so utterly ineffective today, I believe my sweet little toy deserves an extra thorough inspection to ensure my seed took proper root this time."
You didn't even pause, immediately folding into a kneeling supplication and prostrating yourself at his feet. Soshiro's approving grunt made heat flush through your body as he unzipped his fly and fished out his rigid cock in a single languid motion.
It stood proudly from its nest of coarse black hair, the ruddy tip glistening with a droplet of translucent pre-cum. Your mouth instantly flooded with moisture at the sight, the need to worship and taste him once more a physical ache throbbing inside.
Soshiro's lip curled knowingly, as if sensing the direction of your thoughts. Then he was leaning forward, fingers winding through the silken strands of your hair in a cruel grip that forced you to arch towards his waiting shaft.
"You know what to do, slut," he purred darkly. "Open."
The moment the command left his lips, you did as instructed. Your mouth parted without hesitation, tongue unfurling and throat going slack in supplication. A soft growl of approval vibrated the air around you, accompanied by the heavy musk of arousal filling your nose as Soshiro began dragging his swollen cockhead back and forth against your tongue.
"So perfectly obedient for me..."
He didn't have to issue the next order, the unspoken command reverberating like an electric charge through your veins. Your lips immediately sealed around his throbbing tip and you suckled gently, laving the underside with wet, eager strokes of your tongue.
Soshiro groaned in low satisfaction as he fed inch after glorious inch into your throat. You swallowed around him, welcoming the weighty intrusion with practiced ease. He held himself there for a protracted moment, simply savoring the tight clutch of your throat constricting around his engorged head.
Then, without warning, he drew back only to snap his hips forward again with brutal intent.
You gagged violently, the thick glans punching the back of your throat and causing reflexive tears to spring into the corners of your eyes. You forced yourself to relax, jaw slack and breathing shallow, as Soshiro continued his punishing thrusts.
His pelvis rocked against your face in a steady, driving rhythm that made your cheeks hollow with each withdrawal. You sucked with desperate enthusiasm, coaxing and massaging every turgid ridge and bulging vein.
The air grew damp and stifling with each forceful collision, the obscene squelching of your drool and his pre-spend painting a lascivious picture. Soshiro's head fell back as he let out a ragged, feral moan that made your gut clench with anticipation.
"Such a good little toy..."
You preened at the praise, eyes fluttering closed in bliss as you eagerly accepted the brutal pounding. Your mascara had no doubt begun running in black rivulets down your face, joining the saliva dribbling out the sides of your stretched lips.
Your pussy ached fiercely, slick and swollen, desperate for the same ruthless attention Soshiro was lavishing upon your mouth. But you knew better than to seek any form of friction or relief. Not when the man standing above you owned every part of your being, commanding you like a well-trained plaything.
"I'm close..."
Soshiro's voice came out strained and guttural. You moaned in anticipation around the thick column of flesh impaling your throat, the reverberations causing a visible shudder to race up his spine.
"Swallow every drop, slut," he grunted between ragged breaths. "Don't miss a single fuckingâ"
He cut off with a choked cry, his entire body seizing in a powerful shudder as his orgasm exploded through him. You felt his cock swell even further within your mouth, the heavy spurts of hot, thick fluid painting your throat white as you greedily swallowed down his spend.
You drank him in with ravenous, eager gulps, determined not to miss a single drop. Only once Soshiro had fully emptied himself into your waiting maw did he finally release his punishing grip on your hair. He slowly withdrew his softening cock, giving it a few gentle tugs to clear away the last dregs of cum and saliva onto your swollen lips.
Then he was crouching down, forcing you to meet his hooded gaze. One hand reached out to cup the back of your skull, pulling you forward for a searing, languid kiss. He swept his tongue inside to taste himself within the heated recesses, drinking down his essence with a low, satisfied growl.
When he pulled back, Soshiro's lips remained mere inches away - close enough to share the same humid breath. He traced his thumb along the curve of your jaw, his expression uncharacteristically tender and indulgent.
"That's a good girl," he murmured huskily. "Such a good, obedient toy. So sweet and eager to please...and ready to take whatever I give you, aren't you, Y/N?"
You nodded, the flush on your cheeks deepening at his approving, almost worshipful words.
"Good," Soshiro hummed in satisfaction, his lips quirking up in a small smirk. "Now get up and bend over the table. I need to check just how thoroughly I've bred my little slut..."
He punctuated the command by trailing his fingertips lower, ghosting over the swollen peaks of your nipples before dragging across the slickened plane of your abdomen. Then, without preamble, he slid those digits lower - right past the waistband of your sodden panties and straight into the molten heat of your core.
You choked out a gasp, arching towards his hand as he stroked you with languid precision. Soshiro leaned forward, the warm puffs of his breath fanning across the sensitive shell of your ear as he purred, "Plus, I need to give you another loador two to replace what's dripping out of this lewd, perfect pussy..."
He punctuated the final words by curling his fingers deep inside you. You whimpered at the delicious pressure, clenching around him, craving something much thicker and harder to truly satiate your ravening hunger.
"That's it, baby girl," he rasped, the molten edge in his voice a physical brand against the delicate skin of your neck. "You know I won't be satisfied until you're stuffed full of my cum. So why don't you show me exactly how much you want my cock...?"
A shudder wracked your frame as Soshiro's fingers withdrew, leaving behind a sticky webbing of silken arousal bridging his glistening fingertips. Without pause, he rose and circled the table, the heavy thud of his boots against the carpeted floor ringing out in deafening finality.
You followed, the sound of your heart thundering in your ears drowning out all else. You bent over the edge of the conference table, ass presented shamelessly towards the man looming at your back.
There was no hesitation as you arched into the position, spreading your legs and pushing your sodden underwear down your quivering thighs. You heard Soshiro's rough exhale, sensed the intensity of his gaze as it raked over the slick, swollen lips of your core.
Then the weighty clunk of his belt buckle echoed through the still air as Soshiro freed himself once more. His hand grasped the ample swell of one cheek, kneading the flesh in his grip as he dragged the head of his cock through the copious slick between your thighs.
You shuddered in anticipation, eyes clenched tightly shut as his cockhead pressed against your entrance. You knew without a shadow of a doubt what was coming. But you could never prepare yourself for the mind-shattering pleasure-pain when Soshiro slammed his hips home, his swollen shaft splitting you wide open and hilting him balls-deep inside.
You cried out at the invasion, the sudden blistering fullness making tears prickle behind your closed eyelids. Soshiro didn't grant you even a second to recover before withdrawing and driving back in with a savage thrust.
You gasped at the force of the blow, nails digging into the polished wood surface as the entire table shifted under his powerful lunges. Soshiro fucked you with a brutality that stole the very air from your lungs, each punishing thrust driving you further towards the precipice of incoherency.
The filthy squelch of your wet pussy around his pistoning cock filled the room, intermingled with Soshiro's ragged snarls and your own gasping moans. The pleasure-pain was exquisite, a burning stretch that left you quivering and pliant beneath him. You didn't even realize how close you were to your peak until the sharp smack of Soshiro's palm against the sensitive flesh of your ass brought you crashing over the edge.
Your climax slammed through you in a tidal wave, making your pussy clamp down around his thrusting length and hot liquid gush from your folds. You felt Soshiro's hips stutter for the barest fraction of a second before resuming his brutal pace.
"Did I tell you you could come, slut?" He growled against the shell of your ear, his voice low and dangerous. "Are you really such a filthy little whore that a spanking was all it took for you to gush and cream all over my cock?"
The humiliation was an exquisite knife-twist, a lashing strike that made a fresh rush of arousal flood your pulsing core. Soshiro's answering rumble of approval vibrated against your neck as he nuzzled the damp flesh, inhaling your scent.
"So eager, so hungry for my cum. Well, since you've been such a good little cocksleeve, I think you've earned the privilege of getting a nice, hot creampie..."
You whimpered and arched against him, instinctively pressing your ass towards his thrusting hips in supplication. Soshiro's answering chuckle was low and throaty, sending another shiver down your spine.
"You enjoyed it, didnât you," he purred against the damp skin of your throat. "Being watched, gossiped about, having all those perverted daydreams of mine exposed. You fucking loved it."
His words were punctuated by a punishing thrust, the blunt head of his cock driving deep and making you see stars. Soshiro's hands reached down to seize a bruising grip on your hips, his tempo becoming erratic and savage as his own orgasm rapidly approached.
"You love it, don't you, slut? Knowing your friends and colleagues can only imagine what it's like to have me fuck them raw, but they'll never experience anything half as depraved as you do..."
Soshiro's hand snaked forward, his thumb reaching down to press hard against the throbbing bundle of nerves nestled within the slippery folds of your pussy. Your mouth parted in a keening cry, the tension inside you coiling ever tighter.
"You like knowing that youâre the only woman worthy of my attention, my lust, my cum...knowing that every filthy fantasy and daydream they can conjure will never, ever measure up to how it feels when I fill you up, Y/N."
A strangled sob wrenched itself free from your throat as the pressure building inside reached a fever pitch. With a snarl, Soshiro buried himself to the hilt, the swollen tip of his cock lodged deep against your cervix.
The feeling was enough to send you over the edge. White light burst behind your eyes as another orgasm ripped through your writhing form. Soshiro's name tore itself free from your lips as your pussy clamped around him, milking his shaft with greedy convulsions.
With a final, savage grunt, he followed suit - pumping rope after scorching rope of thick, potent cum straight into your molten core. You felt the heavy, wet spurts coat your inner walls, filling you up and searing him into your very being.
It seemed to go on forever, each twitching spurt accompanied by a hoarse groan of pleasure. At last, he collapsed heavily against your back, his panting breaths ruffling the damp tendrils of hair clinging to the curve of your throat.
Dimly, you felt Soshiro nuzzle the damp, heated flesh, his lips pressing gentle kisses against the thundering pulse in your neck. A shiver rippled through you as his spent cock twitched one last time, a trickle of sticky heat spilling out and coating the insides of your thighs.
"Fuck, I needed that," Soshiro finally rasped, his voice a low, guttural rasp.
You could only muster a soft moan of agreement, too wrung out and spent to manage anything more coherent. His answering chuckle was warm and indulgent as he slowly withdrew, the feeling of his softening shaft pulling free from your dripping pussy making you gasp.
The sensation was soon replaced by a thick, viscous gush of his seed flooding out, pooling onto the floor between your trembling thighs. You didn't have the energy to care, or even bother to pull your soaked panties back up. Instead, you simply sagged forward, letting the table take the brunt of your weight as you let out a long, contented sigh.
Behind you, you heard the rustle of clothing as Soshiro put himself back together. A gentle hand landed on the curve where your ass met your thigh before trailing up the smooth expanse of your back. You shuddered, biting back a moan, as those wicked fingers dipped down, tracing the seam of your swollen, well-used entrance.
"Look at you..."
Soshiro's husky drawl was thick with satisfaction. You didn't have to open your eyes or glance behind to picture the self-satisfied smile curling his lips. You could only shudder as he pressed his fingers deeper, swirling his fingertips through the sticky, pearly concoction dripping from your core.
"Fucked stupid and covered in my cum," he mused, the smug amusement lacing his tone making a flush crawl up your neck. "I'm not surprised the others couldn't keep their mouths shut after hearing the way you scream when I'm pounding this tight, slutty pussy..."
You couldn't stop the whimper that escaped at the provocative words, nor the renewed surge of heat flushing outward from your swollen, hypersensitive core. It was a futile effort to try and clench around his lingering fingers, but you couldn't help the reflexive motion.
You heard Soshiro's soft snort as he withdrew his fingers with one last, parting sweep through the sticky mess pooled between your thighs. You could hear him sucking the remnants from his fingertips, the obscene slurping noises only further stoking the embers of desire simmering low in your belly.
"Don't worry, baby girl," he crooned, leaning down to press a chaste kiss against the corner of your mouth. "We've still got an hour before we have to clean up. Why don't we spend it seeing how many times I can make you come and ruin this carpet in the process?"
You moaned and nodded weakly, opening your eyes and meeting his hooded gaze. Soshiro smiled, a wicked flash of white teeth and crimson heat.
"That's what I thought."

Looks vs. Loot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by The Antiquities Coalition (@/CombatLooting) on Twitter
Transcription below the cut
1: The #MetGala may be "fashion's biggest night," but tonight's event hides some dark truths at @/metmuseum...including a long history of looted antiquities. To spotlight some of the contested objects from the Met's collection, we are featuring #MetGala vs. Loot [THREAD]
2. First up: @/KimKardashian in @/Versace at the 2018 #MetGala posing next to the Golden Sarcophagus of Nedjemankh. The coffin was purchased by @/metmuseum in 2017 and repatriated in 2019 after this viral photo helped solve the case. (link)
3. Next, her sister @/KendallJenner in @/givenchy at the 2021 #MetGala as the 13th century wooden Temple Strut with Salabhinka, returned from @/metmuseum to the Government of Nepal in 2022, after it was determined to be looked from Itum Baha in Kathmandu. (link)
4. Another object from Nepal, @/rihanna in @/Margiel at the 2018 #MetGala as a 10th century Shiva in Himalayan Adobe with Ascetics. @/metmuseum was gifted the sculpture in 1995, but repatriated it to Nepal in 2022 along with the temple strut, after learning both were stolen.
5. Dakota Johnson in @/gucci at the 2022 #MetGala as a terracotta kylix (c. 470 bCE). This piece, valued at $1.5 million, was seized from the @/metmuseum in July 2022 after being linked to Italian antiquities trafficker Gianfranco Becchina. (link)
6. @/billieeilish in @/gucci at the 2022 #MetGala as the Fayum Mummy Portrait. Looted from Egypt and sold to @/metmuseum in 2013, it was seized in September '22 by @/ManhattanDA as part of a global investigation into an international trafficking ring. (link)
7. @/iamcardib in @/ThomeBrowne at the 2019 #MetGala as a painted linen fragment displaying a scene from the Book of Exodus, 'Exodus Painting" (250-450 CE), valued at over $1.6 million. The fragments were also part of the seizure by the @/ManhattanDA in September '22.
8. @/Beyonce in @/givenchy at the 2013 #MetGala as a 2,300-year-old vase that depicts the god Dionysus. The vase is linked to Giacomo Medici, an art dealer convicted of conspiracy to traffic antiquities in 2004, and was seized from the @/metmuseum in 2017. (link)
9. @/blakelively in @/Versace at the 2022 #MetGala as a bronze statuette of Jupiter. This object is among 27 antiquities that were returned to Italy and Egypt in 2022 after investigators seized them from the @/metmuseum. (link)

A SHARP ACHE PIERCES JACAERYSâS MIND.Â
It has lingered, ebbing and flowing in the corner of his vision since the news came by raven this afternoon; whispers of fury, nostrils flared around the Painted Table as gasps of shuddered grief echoed in the dusting quiet. A gust of sharp wind blows his curls from his temple, his lips wettened and chilled by the cold of eve.Â
Soil turns soft underfoot as Jacaerys stalks down a trail less frequented; the Outer Bailey of Dragonstone Castle is thick with land, and yet rather sparse in people - most of whom are within tubs. Or, more likely, tending to those within the tubs - though tonight, as much as it can be afforded, he wishes not to not remain within those suffocating walls.
Walls which still echo, in the slumbering quiet when candles are all snuffed and guards repose drearily against stone, with laughter and footsteps of his kin; walls which whisper of doves, wings clipped and soiled by blood of innocent, by hatred stale and harbored.
Walls which used to hold his family - which now cage the fragmented remainder of such a thing; of tense jaws and eyes that cannot help but glaze over each other in pursuit of some long predetermined destiny.Â
He sniffs against the chill of the evening, rather disturbed by the beauty, raw and wild, of the island - steep cliffs clumped by wildgrass and staggering up into sharp black slates, which yawn high into the sky; the Mont, steeping with heat and nesting ancient beasts within its belly.
And the garden, just ahead - a primordial thing, once shining and primed by the glory of a beautiful empire. When he'd stormed from the council room, he'd been rather dead-set upon the garden - if only in a bout of frustration lingering in the denial of his mother, yet projected as a sharp mind ache that laid somewhere in the bowels of Aegon's Garden. Searching for a figure, one that likely exists in only his imagination - the one he's seen through bleary eyes of his chamber window, dancing through leaves and past faces of stone; their presence a low hum in the back of his mind that pierces and grates against his resolve.
The castleâs hearths burn low now after supper, and the eve falls dreary upon quiet ocean-misted moors. His footsteps drag untenanted, burdened by the weight of some distant crown as he clenches tight to his pommel.Â
Those empty feet had indeed carried him all the way down from the tower; past guards and faces familiar, as though his mind was tethered to a memory, a shadow flickered in the distance of his chamber window.
The cliffs are black in the fall of night, the walls of the keep warm but crumbling in the lower Baileys. The Sept - a rather forgotten relic these days - has a soft glow from within; though through the thickening fog, Jacaerys wonders if the figures he sees within are truly there.Â
Silent Sisters, his mind whispers, though there is no body reclaimed for them to prepare. She lies with the Red Queen still; a war without bodies, though he fights the thought from festering - no bones to wrap, no flesh to burn. Only names, which will die on the tongues of those who are too agonized, too vengeful to mourn. Â
The trail is unkempt; it is not often the inhabitants of the island come to the Garden, less so now that looming war plagues the realms. Death grasps Dragonstone Castle in its implacable grip these days; and anger, that hungry beast that bites at the tail of revenge - it ravages his house.Â
He has known since the very first moon they came to Dragonstone, all that time ago - in the earlier years; Luke, Joff, and himself - stumbling over hilts longer than their legs, watching the spiraling towers of Dragonstone become swallowed by thick clouds. And there had been Maester Gerardys, in the first of many lessons to come round the table, tone imbued with something rather distant, gaze fixed upon the window.Â
Even now, years later, Jacaerys knows that the ground he walks is tainted - the Dragonmont looms, its acidic breaths falling in years over toppling years, watching Dragon Kings rise and leave for their birthright; and yet still it remains, sprinkling its volcanic acids to leech into the earth below.
The soil the castle was built upon is imbued with the very acid that grows beneath the islandâs crust - and from it, the plants in Aegonâs Garden now grow unruly, unbidden; No longer tended to by hands familiarized with their needs.Â
The soil is rich, Maester Gerardys had looked out the sharp window in the drum, eyes weathered as the skies. But even when the Conqueror landed, it was unfit for nurturing life. We eat not from the fruit which grows from this side of the island. The blooms stay within their home, and return with each cycle of life back into the ground.Â
Evening fog swallows the burst of trees on the other side of the Thorned Dragon; it twists into the sky high enough that Jacaerys can see the horns through the iron gates to the garden. Fresh sprouts crawl out of the earth from under the wall, curled with the kiss of frost which visits each evening and thawed by the island's sun come each morning.��Life into death.
The circle turns.Â
The gates to the garden are marred with the same rust that crawls up the chains lining the Western Docks; Jacaerys grasps the cold metal and pushes through with surprising ease.Â
A creak of groaning metal. Trees are gnarled; they twist and wind down the path that he walks, his mind lingering up in the thick clouds - a faint gust sends the scent of smoke through his nose.Â
Dragonfire.Â
A clench within his chest; the falling of the Queen Who Never Was echoes in his mind, the fluttering of ravenâs wings, the whisper in a chamber much too empty for all the people who occupied it - and a suppression of the stab of loss which threatens to crawl out his throat.Â
The garden is bright, despite the falling daylight. It bursts with untamed indigenous flora, thick with the air of blossoms - roses, red and thorned; bark, dampened upon twisted trees older than his motherâs mother, rough under his palms. Stoned statues loom with twisted grins in the half-light, some relic of his ancestors which turn now to mock him in his solitary march. Â
Jacaerysâs breath comes out in a puff of fogged chill - the evening brings a cool seabreeze, although his heart has always beat rather warm.
 A gentle caress seems to bring forth a curling smile from a bushel of red anemone blossoms as he passes - a twitch of a grin upon his own lips though the lingering feeling of walking deeper into a shadow looms within his mind.Â
Any semblance of peace is disrupted at the slither of fabric around a lingering statue of a melancholy ancestor, a rustled noise - his heart stops.Â
Though his mind is muddled with tumult, there is some life breathed back into him when he catches a glimpse of shining tresses around a tall thorny hedge, and the snaking curl of dress skirts around the bottom; and so he begins to stalk after the scent of earth, of some deep turn of late summerfruit.Â
Another flicker of movement, a rustle in the vines; and still he follows, heart slamming as the clouds roll over the sunlight.Â
In the deeper part of the garden lies the Thorned Dragon - a once-wonderful iron statue which now crawls with thick vines and time-bitten rusted holes; though below sits stoned benches for respite.
And there Jacaerys halts his footsteps, deadening at the sight before him.Â
Concealed, only the whisper of skirts near hidden feet, strands of glowing hair, the peek of one timid eye thickened by long wisps - of a brow that arches, peeking only just so from beside the iron Dragon.Â
A young woman.Â
âHello.â His voice is schooled with confidence - this is his island, after all.Â
The sun glints in a sharp fight against the rolling clouds; the foggy cloud around his feet swirl as he carries himself with curiosity - it is unusual for Housestaff to venture into such a place. At his voice, there is a flicker, a twitch - slither of skirts until his gaze meets the pair of wide eyes.Â
You stand on legs doelike and unsure, bent slightly at the hips as if prepared to skitter away at the slightest of movement; and he, with a skip in his heart at the glow of your skin, the flutter of lashes upon sweet cheeks.Â
âHello,â you echo his very essence, voice a mirror of his own tone though syrupy and curling with the warmth of summerfall.Â
He is struck at once by your beauty.Â
A breeze picks up; the scent of rich earth beneath his boots, the thick blooms even in so chill a climate. Skirts blown back gently, your hair rustles against the wind and he finds the soft beauty upon your visage arresting.Â
Your feet are bare. His brows drawn, he moves just slightly, cloak fluttering in the wind; and you, watching with owlish eyes as he nods cordially, struck with the natural compulsion to greet you with proper manners.Â
âI am Jacaerys,â he is rather unsure why he omits Prince from his introduction - though with a pang of storm clouds looming in his mind, he dwells not.Â
Indeed it matters little, for you offer some sudden beaming smile - a bright thing, a leap from his heart at such a blessing from the Gods as you have been given; and you nod gently, lips glistened and pale.Â
A sharp smile, something that would seem coy, unpropitious if not for the small flash of kindness that lingers in your stare.Â
â-Jacaerys Velaryon,â you finish, dropping into a curtsey that brings about a slight glide of interest over your form; he chastises himself sharply in his head, bowing back.Â
A Houseworker, then, though heâs never seen you in the halls; nor has he seen a maid or cook wear such material of their gowns. He reclines upon a stone bench; you follow after he invites you kindly, your eyes skittering over the fine folds of his tailored clothing, lingering on the line of his jaw, then hooking rather intently on the dragon upon his chest. Your own dress seems to shift with the light - it is white, then gray, then a near muted purple; it fits with the glow of your chest, with the glint in your eyes. Â
You tell him your name then and it lodges itself warm and wanting into the cavity of his chest. It drips with the glazed sweetness of blooms left in the care of the sun and preserved in the chill of shade. Â
Pines linger tall around you; a sea of green, though the true thing lies far in the distance, its tidal breath a slow roll in the evening air. Your fingers are lithe as they trace over a spiny vine hanging off the Thorned Dragon; and yet, peculiarly, you give no hiss as you press your thumb down against a thorn - in fact, your lips curl into a quick grin, eyes dark in interest when the thorn nearly pierces your flesh.
â-Why are you here?â His question is one rather improper, though he finds himself perturbed and cannot bring himself to feel remarkably bad. Indeed, your dreamy hum silences any doubt that may linger in the back of his mind, âIt was my assumption not many come to Aegon's Garden anymore.â He admits.Â
And something about his words must be amusing to you; a grin that you hide with a tilt of your head, your hand leaving the thorn on the vine. He can smell the scent of your hair; a honeyed thing, a gentle thing. A sweet thing.Â
âI tend to it,â you murmur, voice gentle as a psalm, though your eyes flicker off towards the peak of a twisted treeline upon the far end of the garden, past the murky bog. â-Though sometimes I feel as though it tends to me.âÂ
Dreamlike, your eyes glaze over - and Jacaerys is left rather uncomfortable against the cooling stone. A foreboding prickles at the edge of his mind; and as fog creeps towards the shore each morning, he has a sudden urge to back away from your curling chill - there is something familiar within your lilt, in the way your eyes shift under dappled sunlight. His aunt had much similar a tone when they were young; with fingers that slid between bars of small cages, prodding creatures which nuzzled back against her, musing words that never quite strung together right.Â
âAnd you?â You add now, fingers cupped within your lap. His brows draw as you murmur again, âWhat brings you here, my Prince?âÂ
Behind your shoulder is the long path narrowed by closing hedges, by twisted trees and creeping vines untamed and wild with life; with life, a part of him rejoices silently, life, though so much death looms over Dragonstone these days.Â
His hesitation lingers in the quiet thick fog that creeps through the grass. âIâmâŚâ His brows furrow, a sudden cloud of amnesia confusing weighing his tongue. He feels almost blank, save for the sweet scent of you beside him.Â
â...I donât know.âÂ
A flicker of your visage in his peripheral, as if youâve moved - though when he turns to your countenance once more, he wonders if the sharp, darkly unnerving smile that had flashed onto your face was only in his mind. It unsettles him deeply within his stomach as your eyes remain upon his, muscles lax, as though the smile youâd given earlier was the first in years.Â
His mind is too clouded - Rooks Rest has weighed heavy on the tongues of the council today, though it seems it weighs even heavier so on the mind. He must be rather exhausted.Â
 âIâŚâ He struggles once more, unsettled by the false image of that hungry grin, gaze focused upon the soil, fresh and puffy below his boots. âI thought I wasâŚlooking for something.â It is said absently, straining to recall his initial intentions - and it feels only slightly incorrect.Â
You do not say anything to this, and for the sake of his nerves, he pretends to ignore the growing smile slow over your countenance in the corner of his vision.
In a breeze cooler than expected, his unnerved eyes rise to the Castle - up, to the window of his own chambers high within the spire of the Stone Drum with such direct view of the garden, of this very statue.Â
Gulls cry in the distance; the blooms overgrown above your head seem to droop, as if bowing towards your companionship. A beauty Jacaerys has never once fathomed; though he is momentarily distracted by the movement of your hands, once so still within your lap.Â
It is with surprise when he finds your fingers delicately peeling away at some foreign fruit, revealing the glistening flesh within - and your lips, wettened with your tongue as you pluck at the tissue of its skin.Â
A heaviness in his throat, muddled bewilderment leaking through the cracks of his mind; though any true alarm melts away as you slowly bring the fruit to your gentle, awaiting lips, its crimson juice staining your fingers.Â
Slow bites, teeth sinking into tender flesh in the stillness of the bright garden; and Jacaerys, transfixed upon the glow of your skin, the gentle sigh from your chest at the taste. It is bizarre he has never once seen you here - perhaps you are new to the island; with the influx of residents within the castle, it has provided ample new jobs for the smallfolk around. He is certain heâd have remembered such arresting eyes.Â
It is a sight so innocent, yet so incredibly salacious in its sudden intensity - he finds it a battle to cast away his gaze; his toes drag through the dirt upon the earth, watching the sprouts bounce back upwards once the pressure of his presence is relieved.Â
âHave you ever had one?â Your voice curls through fog, some sweet melody that startles him. His cheeks are flushing red, though you are much too enraptured with the fruit, lips stained dark as wine. â-A fig,â you mend, an afterthought as your eyes rise once more to the larger of the trees deep in the gardens; and a buzzing haze that creeps through Jaceâs mind as the empty shell falls from your fingers onto the ripe dirt below.Â
He watches it lie to rest, bespeckled with the damp dark of soil.Â
The circle turns.Â
His mouth is dry, and he struggles to swallow; âNo,â he admits, clouded by dĂŠjĂ vu and a sudden, mild perplexity. âI havenât.âÂ
Your lips curve into that slow, knowing smile once more - less unsettling when it is fixed upon his gaze this time. Your fingers trace the smooth skin of another fig before your palm extends, offering it with a slight tilt of your head. âThey are divine,â your words lilt, syllables sung out into the gardenâs thick air. Divine.Â
And gods, you are divine - an arresting thought, one that jolts him out of the trance heâd so unwittingly tumbled into - and with a blink, he hesitates.Â
A half-remembered tale told in the dim light of hearths drawn moons, years ago - and he shakes his head, the thought of food at a time like this rather sickening. âWhere did you get them?â he wonders instead of accepting, though your palm remains outstretched, enticing. There is a thrumming in his ears, though he realizes with a start that his headache has ceased.Â
âThey come from me,â you reply coyishly; though there is some glint in your eyes, some shift of the breath you take - and he looks away just before that smile reclaims your face.
A strange girl, he decides. A strange girl, yet quite endearing.Â
He cannot help the smile he returns to you, a short chuckle, mostly out of nerves from him which is echoed rather enthusiastically, nearly unsettling in its fervor, by you.
His heart beats faster, though he cannot say why - his lips are wettened by the prod of his tongue, and he pretends not to notice the flush upon your hollowed cheeks, nor the way your head seems to dip lower to observe his countenance.Â
âNo, thank you,â he declines, voice barely a whisper; and his eyes search yours, your name echoing heavy in his mind - so familiar a name.Â
Your smile returns, though this time it is sharper; and with darkened eyes, the corners of your lips twitching as if you already knew what his answer would be. When you respond, it is not what he expects. âAs you wish, my Prince.âÂ
And then you bring the last fig to your chest, fingers delicate even when they tear at the little flesh as though you've been starved; his stomach rolls, entranced as a drip of juice rolls down your chin, crimson against your muted skin.Â
Night falls. Council will be called soon, he knows - and the bells will be rung though they are barely heard from outside the inner bailey. Jacaerys is hesitant to leave, yet there is a chill that has begun to seep through his bones; a pit that grows within his stomach. Each pulse of his blood through his heart, a bite of your teeth into the fruit of the fig - but he waits until youâve finished your repast to clear his throat.Â
âI must return,â he decides, a strike of hesitance at your look, that kind stare that flickers in the death of sunlight.
You hesitate as he rises, just for a moment - and then, leaning forward as crimson fingers grasp the stone bench, your smile drops. A fleeting thing, a sparrow upon a windowsill, a hummingbird through the morning air.
 âThank you, Prince Jacaerys.âÂ
His brows furrow; and you, staring up at him with a gaze so unalloyed, so pure - a lingering darkness in his chest that grows each day of unrest cooped up in his coddled little nest within the island.Â
Though he smiles only gently back at you - a twist of soft pity that bleeds into an odd affection for such a sweet stranger; a much needed respite from the faces much too familiar and suffocating in the choking smoke of war and duty.Â
âI suppose I find myself rather lonely,â you confess, eyes dropping to stare at the figs that now rest in your lap - a blink from Jacaerys at the sight of them, once more bewildered at their presence. âNot many come to the garden anymore. I worry I tend to it only for myself these days.âÂ
Jacaerys finds himself rather uneasy - there is that guilt that coils familiar, a serpent squeezing his stomach. The circle turns, he thinks. Â
âI will have to return then, my lady.â He feels rather uneven on his feet, âThis garden is quite beautiful.âÂ
And if you bristle at his assumption of your title, you do not show it; an absent look has plagued your seraphic features, leaving you with shallow breaths and a plumped lower lip. âI would hope so, Jacaerys.â
For a dreadful moment, he fears you might begin to cry; a stoke of regret and pity through him. Though it is quelled rather abruptly as you snap up, eyes staring down the row of hedges behind him before returning to his own, much more warm than before. Â
You hold his gaze for a horrible few breaths - and he knows not what to do, as you sit faraway and dreamlike, your hair moving in a breeze he cannot feel.
âAre you turning in soon?â He wonders, unable to quell his curiosity - he cannot imagine your duties much require you to extend your services into the dark of night, though he admittedly has paid less than staunch attention to the Housestaff as of late.
Your eyes remain distant, though a soft wisp of a smile grows as you rise to your height, standing oddly against the vines which creep down towards you.Â
You look back beyond his shoulder, a glint of firelight in your eyes though the sun still whispers its last stretches of breath across the indigo sky.
âNot so soon, I'm afraid. The roses need pruning,â you sigh. âI detest thorns.â
