hi! can i have a yelena x reader? reader has an ex that is still trying to get back with them and yelena doesn’t like that. reader tells the ex “no” all the time and he still won’t listen to the point where yelena has to take matters into her own hands. she’d go up to him herself and basically tell him to f off since they’re obviously taken by yelena and then i feel like she’d start teasing the reader in public and make sure he’s watching just to get under his skin, etc. thank you ! (:
hiii!! i live for these requests 😩
——————
yelena x gn!reader
tw: cursing, threats, mention of death, anger, light teasings
note : i’ve find the perfect image that would describes how yelena looks at him aha
modern au!
Tumblr media
leave us alone
——————
it’s been like 6 months that yelena and you are dating, everything was perfect but there was one thing that annoyed you so much. your stupid ex still trying to come back to you. every day in the past 3 months, he let you message like “please, [Y/N] come back i’m sorry for everything I did to you” and every time you answer him the same thing “you didn’t understand that i’m actually dating someone? we aren’t together anymore for 1 year now, so let me alone and get a fucking life.” but he doesn’t matter, he came back anytime. and this situation, seems not please your girlfriend at all and you know that. “you know [Y/N], you can block his number? i mean it would be easier than answering him everytime” she suggested. but you replied. “i know but that asshole will find another way to talk to me…” you sighed totally desperate by the situation. yelena looks at you and see that it was starting to tire you. she understands what you were feeling and so she hugs you tightly in her strong arms. you always feel safe in her arms since she was way bigger than average. suddenly, a sound coming from your phone tells you that you have received a message. without surprise, it was your ex and his stupid and useless message. yelena takes your phone before you can do anything with it “i’m done with this; i’m blocking his fucking number” she yelled. after that, she gives you your phone. “here now he can try to send you message” she assured sarcasticly. you were still lightly chocked of her action, “wow t-thanks you” you said. “no need to thank me shorty, i did what was better for you” she stated. after that, she takes you to the couch, and turn on netflix, so you can relax.
it’s been now a week since you didn’t receive anything from your ex, you hope he won’t come back.
you were alone at home, since yelena was at work, you decide to get up and do laundry, and stuff like this. your day pass without problems. suddenly you heard footstep coming from the entrance of your house, it was yelena coming from work. “i’m home, baby” she happily said. you walked toward her and almost jumping in her arms. “how was your day?” you asked, while raising to her “not bad for once” she announced. “seat on the couch, i bring you something to drink” you empathized. “[Y/N]??”, “yes ‘lena?”, "did your ex resend you something??” she questioned. “no fortunately!!” you settled. she sighs, now reassured. you sat next to her and lay your head on her shoulder. it took only minutes for you to fall asleep.
it was around 6PM when yelena heard someone knock at the door, so she gets up slowly to not wake you up and headed tp the door. when she opens it, the person who face her, seems familiar. “yes? what do you want?” she asked. “i want to talk with [Y/N], if they’re here.” the person declared. “can i ask you who you are?”, “i’m her ex”. at this moment, yelena’s face turn into angriness. “so, it’s you the asshole who harasses them with his stupid and insincere messages?” she hissed at him. “ah i guess you are the person who date them now? so they like dating beanpole now?”. he provoked but yelena grabs him by the collar angrily and look at him with her scary dark eyes. “yes and what’s your fucking problem by harasses them with your messages, huh? i bet your life have to be so fucked up for annoy someone. continue this shit, i will find you, and either my fist will end up in your face or or maybe even kill you. so you better leave them alone”. she threated him. your ex had a chocked face because of yelena’s threat, he don’t know her but he can say that she’s scary and kind of a sociopathic. “in addition to beanpoles, now they likes sociopaths” he says while leaving. yelena slams the door still mad of this quarrel. the loud noises of their argument, who were coming from the entry wake you up. “yelena? what happen?”, “your ex, again, so i decided to take care of his case” she assumed with a smirk. “babe? you didn’t kill him i hope” you asked her, knowing that she’s totally capable of “noooo, just some threats” she replied with an innocent smile. so that's what having a protective and sociopaths girlfriend, you thought.
days after, you and yelena decide to go shopping. so you took the car and go for the mall. you made the clothing stores and the grocery. after that, you stop to eat an ice cream on a bench. you were focused on eating your ice cream while yelena swept the small crowd with her eyes. suddenly, she sees a person that were familiar to her. again, it was your ex, walking alone with bags in his hand. yelena had an idea. she waits him to look towards you two. once he notices you, yelena turns her head towards you to kiss your lips. you were a bit surprised but didn’t emit any rejection at it. yelena kept her eyes open to see the reaction on your ex, and it was a win for her since he stood there, looking at you. therefore, for annoying him more, yelena put her hand on your thigh and strokes it slowly. “yelena we are in public, please” you begged. luckily, there isn’t too many people, and they didn’t even pay attention to you. so she got down on your neck, put a hickey on it, and she make sure he was still watching. she didn’t know why but he was still there with an annoyed face. his hand tightened on the handle of his bags, which mean he was possibly jealous or angry, but he can do nothing since he was only your ex. after this intimate moment, you look at her with an interrogative gaze. “why did you kiss me so suddenly?”, “oh your ex was looking at us, so i decide to irritated him a little and i can see that it worked” she stated with proudness on her face. she turns around to look at him but it seems that he left. she sighs and said “okay the idiot had left, i think he would finally let you alone darling. now what do you think about going home and finished what we start here?”. she said, with a smirk on her face. you blushed at her answer since you know what does she means. ;)

Merry Go Round of Life 2
Find my masterlist
Part two of the Howl’s Moving Castle AU! There will still be a blend of movie and book in this chapter. Still no Din, but we do meet a couple others! (I’m very curious to see your guesses about the as-of-yet unnamed certain scarecrow.) 
This will eventually be a Din Djarin x f!reader.
Warnings: Nothing much. A little unspecified swearing. 
Tumblr media
Chapter two: In which we meet a fire demon
You stood there for a moment, stunned into silence. What had just happened? Curse? What curse?
Shaking your head, you moved from behind the counter to go lock the door, only you couldn’t seem to walk as quickly. Indeed, you were almost… hobbling? Concerned now, you looked down at yourself. Was the ground closer or was it just you? 
And then you froze at the sight of your hands. Your hands were thick-knuckled, knobbly, wrinkly, with prominent veins. You blinked down at your own skin, confused for a moment, and then you rushed (as well as you could) towards the floor-length mirror you had set up for customers.
A little old lady stood in the mirror, in your blue dress, with white hair. She looked about ninety - a little hunched, knobbly all over, with wrinkles everywhere. You blinked, and the reflection blinked.
“Is that me?” you murmured out loud, and then jolted. Your voice didn’t sound right - a little more scratchy, something. It sounded off. You touched your fingers to the mirror and stared. The reflection was wearing your dress, so unless the mirror had been enchanted…
But no. She’d specifically said that you were under a curse.
“That’s really me, isn’t it?” you asked yourself. As the realization faded a bit, you felt oddly calm. Almost detached. With a low groan and a series of creaks and cracks, you hobbled over to the door to flip the sign to closed and lock the door. 
Well. This was… something.
You creaked and cracked and groaned your way up the stairs to your apartment. There were no wizards or witches in Kalevala, you knew this. So there would be no one to help you here. Which meant there was no point staying, honestly. Wizards were notoriously unreliable, from what you’d heard. You had no guarantee one would come even if you sent a letter begging them. 
So, clearly, the best choice was your next one: go find one. Surely if you found a wizard (or witch, you weren’t going to picky) one would help you, right? And of course there was still the mysterious wizard of the moving castle around, not far from Kalevala at all. Surely you could convince him to help. 
So you wrote a letter to Omera (in shaky handwriting that you had trouble reconciling as yours). As promised, you couldn’t write anything about the curse, and ended up wasting a few pieces of paper because of that. Finally, you gave up on that and simply wrote that you were taking a few weeks to travel for inspiration. 
Inspiration. Sure. Omera was going to read that and get half the town in an uproar. But it was the best you could do on such short notice.
That done, you gathered up some food and your favorite cloak. You locked your apartment, and sealed a spare key in with the letter to Omera, which you left on the shop counter. Omera had a key to the shop - she’d let herself in once someone realized you were gone.
(Someone would realize, right? Right. Of course.) 
With a faint wistfulness, you patted the shop door, and set off to find a wizard. Fortunately, though you’d aged quite a bit, you still seemed hale - your legs worked fine (after a few more cracks), and though you were slower than usual, you were able to get around just fine. 
The walk out of town to the hills was… something. It was odd. You’d left the town exactly once before, to visit your other sister Cara in the capitol once. But even then, you’d had transportation, and Omera beside you. Leaving on your own with nothing but your pack? It was frightening, and new, but somehow liberating. There was no expectation here. No inherited dress shop to run. No expectant clients to appease. No gossip to listen in on, or ignore. 
It was quiet.
Once out of town proper, you started climbing the hills. There were dirt roads up here for the farmers that lived out this way, and for now you just continued along those. You took a couple breaks, sitting on the side of the road to take a drink or eat a nibble, always turning to look back at Kalevala. 
“It doesn’t look so far away,” you muttered to yourself. “I could probably throw a stone into the nearest chimney!” 
Heaving yourself upright again, you started on again, until you spotted what looked like a stick. A walking stick, maybe. You could use one of those. 
Hobbling over, you grabbed the stick and managed to wrestle it free from the hedge along the road. Only it wasn’t a walking stick. It was some kind of scarecrow. You hefted it upright (with perhaps a muttered swear or two) and then squinted up at the scarecrow.
“Why is your head a turnip?” you asked, rhetorically. “Ah, well. Not a walking stick after all. Too bad, my friend. May you find a better field to stand in.” 
You continued on your way, grumbling a bit to yourself. It was getting late - the sun had not yet set, but it was low in the sky. Your daylight was limited, and you had no idea where you would bed down for the night. 
You stopped for supper on a low rock, sitting and stretching out your legs with a low groan. You could still see the town quite clearly. 
“All this walking and I’ve barely left home,” you grumbled. “This wizard had better be able to help me.” 
You gnawed on your food, stuck somewhere between melancholy, anger, and resignation. But you were far too stubborn to turn back now. After all, what did you have left to lose? Certainly not your good looks. You chortled at yourself for that. 
You had just gotten to your feet again when you spotted a likely-looking stick. Hobbling carefully over to it in the dimming light, you pulled a nice walking stick out of the hedge. It was a bit tall for you, but smooth and sturdy. 
“Now this is a fine find!” you muttered. “This will be a great help.” 
And with that you marched on. You were panting as you reached the top of the hill and you paused to look around. The land out here really was beautiful - rolling hills dotted with farms. Although you could see something moving towards you. Something big. Something big and grey and oddly bulbous, not very like a castle at all, actually. 
The wizard’s castle ground to a stop not far from you. It was odd, round where it shouldn’t be, not as tall as you expected, and an odd color. It was almost metallic, although surely it wasn’t actually made of metal. That would be preposterous. 
“Well, I wanted the wizard,” you told your stick. “I suppose I should go knock.” You started towards the castle, searching for a way in. There wasn’t one immediately apparent. It wasn’t until you hobbled around to the back that you found a door, and eagerly started towards it. 
The castle started moving.
“Will you slow down?” you gasped at the castle, hobbling as fast as you could. You managed to tap on the door with your stick, stumbling a bit and falling behind momentarily. With one desperate hop, you managed to grab the doorknob. Another hop and a skip got one foot on the doorframe, and you pushed the door open. Two more skipping steps got you in the castle, and the door slammed shut after you. 
Your first impression of the inside of the castle was… not favorable. While it wasn’t a total mess, it was cluttered. The large table in the center of the main room had objects strewn across it. More things lay on the floor, largely shoved into corners out of the way. (You didn’t quite dare to look too closely at these items.) A large fireplace dominated one wall, with a cushy armchair in front of it. Troubles momentarily forgotten, you made straight for the chair, sinking into it with a grateful groan. These old bones hurt more than you thought possible, but the warmth of the fire was slowly helping. 
“What a curious fire,” you mused to your walking stick. “Why, it’s almost got a face. Curious indeed what these wizards can do.”
“No wizard did this,” the fire snapped back at you. 
You blinked. The fire blinked back. There was a riot of bright red flames atop the face, and the face itself was vaguely feminine, all in yellow and orange with a touch of blue at the eyes. 
“The fire speaks?” you asked, sitting up straighter.
“Yes, the fire speaks,” the fire spoke. “The fire also has a name. You can call me Peli.” The fire puffed up a bit.
“Peli,” you repeated dutifully. You were still not convinced you were somehow hallucinating this. 
“So what brings you out here? Not many are willing to wander out so far away from the town, or so close to Tattooine.” Peli leaned forward a bit. 
“I’m seeking a wizard,” you told Peli. You noticed the logs in the grate were almost burned up, and leaned over to heft a new log into the fire.
“Oh that’s nice,” Peli hummed, settling in on the new log. “Why do you need a wizard? Oh, wait.” The fire looked you up and down, very obviously. “Aha! You’re under a curse, too!”
“I am,” you agreed. “What do you mean, too?”
“I am also under a curse,” Peli told you, lowering her voice. “But I can help you, if you help me.” 
“You can break my curse?” you asked, caught between eagerness and suspicion.
“‘Course I can!” Peli boasted. “I wasn’t always stuck to this grate, you know. I’m a very powerful fire demon.” 
“So I see.” You yawned. You couldn’t help it. You’d been traveling all day, the fire was warm and felt good on your old bones, the chair was comfortable enough.
“Hey. Hey! Will you help me or not?” Peli hissed.
“Alright,” you agreed, half-asleep. “I’ll help you, if you promise you’ll help me.”
You missed whatever Peli’s response was. Your head tipped back against the chair and you were out like a light.

i've been thinking about sitting in front of mirror in yoshi's lap while he's,, aha.. f i n g e r i n g you, and he's degrading you (maybe a little praise too) edging you, teasing you and he wants to hear you BEG. after you've begged for a little while he lets you cum on his fingers and then he overstimulates you.
i'm not good at writing but FUCK THIS SOUNDED BETTER IN MY HEAD
- ☁️ (I'M USUALLY NOT THIS EXPLICIT SO I'M LIKE EMBARRASSED)
•~ "Don't get embarrassed, princess," Yoshi purred, his fingers snaking between the folds of your sensitive pussy, "look at yourself, such a desperate little slut."
Your legs were draped over his, hooded eyes following his hand through the mirror as his lips teased your neck. A soft whimper escaped your throat, Yoshi's fingers spreading the warm slick over your pleading clit. Your hips bucked slightly, silently begging him to touch you properly, and a smirk danced his expression as he brought his fingers up to your wet, open lips.
"Do you want to taste yourself, hm?" your tongue wrapped around the gift, moans vibrating down his skin as you licked up every bit of your arousal, "what a good girl..."
Your concentration pinned on hungrily sucking his fingers, your body jumped to the sensation of his free palm tracing up your inner thigh. The pressure arrived once more to your clit, as he wrapped your arousal in a new pair of long digits. You could feel them slide down between your folds, approaching the area you so desperately needed filled.
And then they were thrusting deep inside of you, pads of his fingers immediately pressing against your yearning g-spot. You whined, loose around the ones consuming your mouth, as stars flashed before your weakened eyes. Chuckling, Yoshi's lips hovered over your ear, intensely watching through the mirror as your features completely submitted to his touch.
His digits began to provide you with slow, deep thrust, curling up to delve further into your already clenching pussy. You moaned, lightly, head rolling back against Yoshi's shoulder.
"Please," your breath caught, "f-faster..."
"What's that? I didn't quite hear you," Yoshi drawled, fingers popping from your lips to roughly wrap them tight around your neck.
"Y-Yoshi," you mewled, back arching with one particularly pleasurable thrust, "please..."
Yoshi's eyes sparkled, and your pleads were well met, with an abrupt change of pace. His two digits began pounding into you, position shifting on the chair to make for easier access to your pussy. You cried out, the wrists bound behind your back twisting in pleasure. You were completely and totally at his mercy.
"Look at me," Yoshi snarled, "God, can you see the pathetic whore you've become? Just from my fingers..."
Your lips rubbed shut, his palm pushing up against your throat, croaking a whimper of agreement. He could feel your walls already beginning to tense and shake around his fingers, hips rocking in rhythm with his rough movements.
"Oh no, no, I don't think so, angel," he sneered, "not yet, I'm not letting you cum just yet. Hold on a little longer for me."
Your breath hitched nervously, knowing a punishment awaited if you dared disobey. But you weren't sure you could last. Not when you could feel his warm skin flexing against your back, his dark eyes boring into your body, especially not when his fingers fucked you so, so well. Your forced yourself to relax your muscles, the total euphoria satisfyingly engulfing your limbs. You were on the edge, so easily pushed over the cliff, but your nails sank into your palms, meeting the reflection of his steady gaze.
"Please..." you strained, "please, let me cum..."
"I don't think my pretty little slut wants it badly enough," Yoshi sighed, "perhaps I should just..."
He feigned removing his fingers, and you desperately cried out, limbs now aching for release.
"No! No...please...Yoshi, let me cum," you moaned, "I'll do anything, I'll let you do whatever you want, p-please, let me..."
Trailing off as your throat tightened, you felt Yoshi's lips fasten against your neck.
"Okay baby," he purred, "cum for me, all over my fingers."
The green light almost immediately caused your body to seize up, gasping as your core clenched in sudden pleasure. The sensation shot through your limbs, engulfing your pussy, your hips, your core like a tsunami, completely consuming every inch of your shuddering body. Your muscles contracted gleefully, endorphins rushing through your veins, and your breath stopped - attempting to appreciate every second of the orgasm.
But Yoshi didn't stop. His fingers only began to pump faster into your swollen pussy, his thumb stretching to press into your clit, applying a pressure that made your whole body shudder and jolt in shock. You croaked his name, his fingers continuing to overestimulate you through to a second, more powerful orgasm - once that approached far faster than the first. Your thighs shook against his, twitching as your walls wrapped around his fingers. The sharp, shooting pleasure he was now offering your clit was reaching new highs of pleasure, and within moments your core was tensing once more. Your cursed with a cry, tears stinging your eyes from the overstimulation, and your chest flexed, as knots expanded within your stomach. Breathing beginning to falter, your buried your head back against his shoulder, lids screwed shut, just as an intense, relaxing sensation washed through your body. Your veins filled with pleasure, as Yoshi's fingers encouraged you to ride out our high, slowing to a careful, gentle halt.
"You did so well, baby," Yoshi purred, pressing open mouthed kisses along your shoulder as you breathlessly collapsed into his chest, "I'm so proud of you for being such a good girl for me." ~•
This was rushed ahhh I'm sorry baby

Always Here With;Diego Hargreeves
A/n: Aha, ha ha. Heyyyy so I maybe sort of had a huge wave of anxiety tonight and wasn’t doing too great. So, in a desperate effort to relieve some of what I was feeling I wrote all of this in one go. It really helped, and I hope it might help you. I’m being pretty vulnerable here but what the hell. Anyways, enjoy.
TW: anxiety/ mild anxiety attack/ all that scary stuff so pls don’t read if that makes you uncomfortable!
Tumblr media
It’s too damn quiet, the dark sleepy room is without a sound. It’s killing you, because as you head rests on the cool pillow below you all you can hear is your heart pumping, pushing blood all throughout you and into your skull. Usually, the stillness of it all would soothe you. Not tonight though. Tonight your mind can’t seem to stop racing, mulling over moments in your life that you figure anyone else would have forgotten by now. It’s harder to breathe, your damn lungs simply can’t collect enough oxygen between breaths. Sometimes, you wonder if the good moments in life are worth still being around for when, all too often, anxiety slithers it’s way throughout your brain and worms into your body. Every limb, every loose hair, tingles with each beat of your heart and god damn it if it doesn’t stop you’re convinced you’ll yell out one desperate shriek that begs this feeling away.
The steady breathing accompanied with a careful shift beside you aids in the realization that you aren’t alone in this god-forsaken state. Diego sleeps soundly beside you, and you try to push down the raging envy you feel for someone being able to doze off in blissfull peace. Why can’t you drift off like everyone else, why can’t you be normal? The moisture welling in your eyes makes the panic increase, fuck you’re so sensitive. Chewing on the corner of your thumb by default, the thoughts are pushed to the side when he stirs. You lay back down as he wakes, hoping he’ll doze back off and he’s not burdened by your current state. The silence continues, the stillness of the once familiar, comforting room haunts you as you anticipate the continuation of his steady breathing.
“What’s wrong?” The soft words fizzle out into the air, and you’re not totally convinced he’s actually spoken until he turns on his side to look at you. Fuck.
“Hmm? Nothing, I jus-just cant sleep.” You might have been convincing if it weren’t for the pathetically shaky tone or the crack in your voice as you reply.
“You’re shivering, and you’ve been awake for the past 15 minutes.” Damn him and his light-sleeper ass. Oh, you really were shaking. How long has he been awake? Immediately, guilt consumes you and the dread of worrying him becomes suffocating. You’re a burden.
“Y/n.” The three rasp in his voice snaps you out of it once more. Sitting up and shifting uncomfortably, you wrack your brain for a reply that will convince him to leave you alone.
“I jus-I won’t stop thinking. It doesn’t stop Di, it never stops!” In an award winning attempt to reassure him, a hiccup escapes your body and you’re overcome with sobs as the emotion forces itself out of you.
Diego’s shooting up in a flash, shocked at your sudden outburst but immediately grabbing onto your hips in a panicked effort to ground you. Bring you back to him, shield you from every thought or worry that fills your mind so you’re safe. He has to protect you.
“H-hey, hey. Please don’t cry baby, I’m here. I p-promise.” Fuck, if all the times he’s internally begged to speak freely, he could really use it right about now. But the shock of your sudden outburst has imploded his nervous system. With a quick shake of his head, he relaxes himself in order to communicate. He needs to be calm. He needs to level with you.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. Please just go back to bed Diego. I didn’t mean to wake you.” Your quiet pleas shatter his heart into pieces. And he wishes more than anything you two could trade places.
“I’m not going anywhere. You can talk to me. Please baby, just talk to me.” He doesn’t know what he should do with his arms, debating whether or not you’ll feel overwhelmed by physical touch in your state. Your sniffle and shaken intake of breathe interuppts his thoughts.
“Im just so tired. So, so tired. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I don’t think I can take it. I w-want everything to stop, it’s all moving so fast and I can’t fucking catch up! I’m tread-treading water Diego and I don’t know how long I can last.”
His eyes widen at your words, and he’s relieved you’re not facing him so you won’t be able to read his expression. Why hadn’t he known you were feeling this way? Had he pushed aside your body language, your attitude lately? Why didn’t he see you were in so much pain? All this time he was always alert for anything that could cause you physical harm. He’s seen enough shit to know this world is way too brutal for someone as good as you. But, despite protecting you from things on the outside, you were really being attacked from the inside. His stomach churns at the thought, and his arms wrap around you and pull you into his lap.
Your sobs falter at the embrace, and his tight hold on you brings a piece of you back to Earth. His warmth, his scent, envelopes your senses and weakens the the sobs escaping you.
Diego’s never been too good with words. And he so wishes he was able to communicate all the reassurances that are racing through his mind. Hopefully, his actions will successfully communicate all he’s trying to say.
“Is this okay?” You nod at his words, pushing your face further into his neck in an attempt to drown out the noise ricocheting through your mind.
“G-good. This is good.” You mutter, feeling soothed when you realize he’s slowly rocking you.
“Can you do me a favor and tell me one thing you see in the room?” He’s hesitant to ask, trying to remeber what his mom used to say when he’d become overwhelmed with his stutter.
“The-the photo of us on the b-bedside table.”
“Good, that’s good baby. That was your birthday last year. You looked so pretty in that dress, I’m pretty sure Klaus and Allison begged you to wear it.” Diego recalls, heart warming at the small giggle you let out through the sniffles and shaky breaths.
“How about one thing you smell?”
“Your body wash. It smells like...like cinnamon and a little bit of vanilla.” He smiles at your words, heart filling with adoration and pride for you. You’re doing so good for him.
“Okay, you’re doing awesome. Can you tell me one thing you feel?”
“Your heart beating...and your skin. You, I feel y-you.”
You’re relaxed now, and you shuffle impossibly closer to Diego as he hums softly. Blinking slowly, you notice how your eyelids start to droop as he continues softly swaying the both of you. Silence fills the room once more, but it’s warm. And it doesn’t feel so lonely or heinous as it did before.
“Thank you.” Your voice is so soft, and it sounds so little Diego longs to hold you forever. Not letting go so you never have to feel anything but peaceful. You deserve so much, he only wishes you’d realize you’re worth his entire world and then some.
“No need to thank me baby. I’m here, I’m always here.”
You’re filled with warmth, and you embrace the tranquility that finally consumes you. He’s here, and he’s not going anywhere.

✭ I’m sorry, this gif is too precious for me NOT to put on here. I’m back at it again with Banana Fish, but this time it’s a request from the lovely @wertzunge !! Thank you so much for requesting and I hope you like it!! <3 P.S. I had a lot of fun writing this!! You can always send me more if you want !! <333
Btw, I tried to keep the original prompt true so if anything seems off, I’m sorry. (Not really an experienced writer yet, but one day! ..One day!)
——————————————————————————
Title: “Ferocious Lynx.”
Pairing: EijiAsh ft. Skipper.
Summary: When Eiji hears a commotion coming from Ash’s room, the only thing to think is that something bad is happening - but when the poor boy walks on something else instead, he finds himself in a position where he can’t escape.
Warnings: Some swearing, I guess.. Other than that... It’s a wholesome tickle fic~!
Note: I’m gonna change the plot a little bit - instead of Skipper and Eiji getting kidnapped by Arthur and his men, let’s just pretend that Ash defeated them all with his mad skillz and got everyone safely back home. :)
——————————————————————————
It happened roughly a week ago. The deal that changed the black-haired boy’s life forever, the deal that made him considering running back to Japan as fast as he could. Due to the recent events, the attack at the bar by Arthur’s men, the concerned photographer asked to make a “deal” with the gang leader - basically letting him own Eiji for a week or two in return for protection.
The sly lynx, of course he’d accept because he was just too lazy to do anything himself! What Eiji hated the most of this, however, was the fact that it was so boring and lonely. The only people who came by were gang members, and of course Eiji couldn’t really speak to them - what would they talk about? ..it just seemed a little too awkward for him to start, and when asking questions and things to Ash, the younger one would just tease him about it! It made life miserable, but as long as Ibe didn’t worry about him, he guessed it was alright for now.
“..ahh,” Eiji sighed, sitting down on the older, slightly uncomfortable couch as he finished with his “job”. He ended up cleaning the entire living room, by himself might he add, because he didn’t know really what else to do. He wasn’t allowed to go outside, he would be easily recognized by everyone - he wasn’t allowed to mess around with Ash’s things (like he had anything there anyways) and most of all, he basically was treated like a maid. “Eiji, go get this, go get that” sort of thing from Ash. And while he didn’t complain at all, it started to grind his gears. Of course, he couldn’t get too mad because he WAS protecting him - it was the least he could do, anyways. “Safe, huh? ...well, if it makes Ibe happy..” he murmured, closing his eyes as he leaned against the headrest of the couch.
Suddenly, a loud scream was erupted from Ash’s room which made the exhausted boy jump in fear. ...what was that, he wondered as he stood up, a concerned look on his face. “That didn’t sound like Ash... but... something could be going down.” He concluded, face pale from the shock of hearing such a loud noise in the quietest of rooms. Standing outside of his room, he almost wanted to leave it up to him - maybe Ash could take care of it on his own. But if there was any chance that he was in danger, Eiji had to see him. He took in a breath, grasped the doorknob tightly, and opened wide. I’m gonna...
“AHAHAHA- W-WAIHAHAT! ST-STOP! PLEHEHEHEASE!”
...save you? Eiji’s eyes widened at the scene he was witnessing - Skipper, the one who saved him at the bar incident was pinned down underneath the ferocious lynx of a gang leader, basically begging for mercy as Ash launched a tickle attack on the poor boy. Eiji didn’t know whether to stand there or walk away - the initial shock of hearing the scream made him stand completely still, as if he was frozen. He could feel his face heat up incredibly fast, but he couldn’t move fast enough to hide it.
“...oh,” Ash calmly said, as he noticed the photographer’s assistant walk into the room, slowing his attack down so that Skipper could catch his breath. The young boy’s face was red with tears pricked at the corner of his eyes, grasping his sides ever so tightly. Eiji raised an eyebrow, fists clenched as he looked down in sheer embarrassment. So he didn’t need saving?! Why was he even concerned..? But then again, it felt kinda nice seeing that scene take place - Ash never really let his guard down, but in the split second that he saw of him tickle torturing a kid, he was totally relaxed. ..felt kind of odd, as well.
“S-Sorry, I... heard a scream..and thought something.. bad was happening,” Eiji mumbled as he fiddled with his hands, earning a slight chuckle from the blonde. He sat up, along with Skipper who was still out of breath, and raised an eyebrow. What was that look for, he thought as he mustered up enough courage to look up for a moment. The jade green eyes scanned him up and down before looking at his “little brother” Skip. “..Hey, do me a favor, yeah? Go to Chinatown and get Shorter, we have to do something later.” He nudged the other in the side, getting a squeal out of the latter - “FINE! Fine.. I’ll be back... in a bit..” Skipper said, standing up and walking out of the room. Which now only left a flustered Eiji and a devious Ash in the same room together. Alone. ..this could only end well.
“What? Jealous?” Ash teased, standing up slowly - the words sent another level of embarrassment through him and he shook his head, his nervousness getting the better of him. No words could escape his mouth, much less process through his head. Fact is, he wasn’t really “hands-on” with his parents much as a kid, so naturally stuff like this didn’t happen. Akira, his little sister maybe did it once or twice but that was so long ago that he’s already forgotten about it. “...ahh, so you are jealous. Huh. Well, if that’s the case, it’ll be a while before Skipper comes back so do you want me to tickle you?” Eiji’s face seemed to turn a deep shade of red, eyes darting back and forth. “..I mean... I g-guess,” he mumbled quietly. There was no getting out of it anyways, so he might as well just take it.
“..alright,” Ash grabbed him, as gently as possible and threw him on to the bed, pinning his hands above his head - a sinister grin was on his face, and the other really didn’t like where this was headed. Sitting on his waist, he leaned forward to his ear and blew softly on the outer part, watching the boy shiver and hunch up softly. “...huh. Would you like to tell me where you’re ticklish, then~?” His whole face turned red, shaking his head - even if he wanted to tell him, what would he say? ...it’s not like he remembered where exactly he was most ticklish. If he was ticklish, even.
“Gonna play the silent type, eh?” Ash asked as he gently slid his fingers around his ear, watching the boy’s eyes widen immediately. “...what’s the matter? You seem... a little squeamish today, huh?” Eiji couldn’t function anymore. Any words that had even the 1% chance of wanting to come out have immediately been stuck back in his brain. He was going to die - of embarrassment? Quite possibly so. “...mmm..” he shook his head, squirming in his grasp. There was so much he wanted to say, and yet, while looking deep into those jade green eyes - there was nothing he couldn’t read at that point. His face said it all.
“...you don’t know? Or do you not want to tell me~? That’s okay, I’ll figure out eventually,” those were the last words uttered before the blonde moved down and trailed at his pant line, making him squeak out involuntarily. “..w-wait,” Eiji choked out, the only word he could muster up before giggles slipped out of him. “Wait? Wait for what? For me to find your worst spot.. and then abuse it? ...mmm.. trust me, I can’t wait for that. Also... consider it.. payback for making me take care of you..” Ash grinned as his fingers wiggled teasingly underneath his shirt, making him clench his hands into fists. “Waihihit, s-stahahahap ihihit..! Ash!” Before he knew it, laughter was pouring out of his mouth - he can’t ever recall being this ticklish but the situation he found himself in seemed to answer his question earlier.
“What is it, Eiji?” Ash asked, his nails scraping gently across his pale stomach, making him want to jump out of his own skin. “H-Hehehehey! Nahahaha- c-cut ihihihit ohohohout!! Hahahahahahaha!!” Eiji’s giggles rose in pitch, making his voice sound very squeaky - something that seemed to edge the blonde ler on more. The sparkle in his eyes seemed to brighten the more he got a reaction out of the Japanese boy. “...p-plehehehehehease! Hahahahahaha!”
“...please what? Tickle you more? Oh don’t worry, you’ve got a lot of that coming your way~.” Ash slowly traveled his fingers way up, resting right underneath his arms. His fingers had not even starting moving, but the poor boy had already been sent into hysterics. Even just the light touch was enough to drive him up the wall. His whole body now was shaking, his legs kicking against the sheets of the bed.
“Does it tickle that much? I couldn’t imagine being that ticklish. Aha.” And that’s when the actual tickling began - the nasty ler scratched his delicate fingers into the center of his armpits, grinning as his work just only started. Eiji jumped out of his skin, squirming desperately as he could do nothing but laugh hysterically. “Woah, maybe that’s why you didn’t want me to know where you’re ticklish...” Ash couldn’t help but laugh with the hypersensitive boy. “HAHAHA- ASH! STOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIT! PLEHEHEHEASE-!”
“...now why would I do that? I’m only getting started..” the more he picked up the speed, the more increasingly squeakier his voice sounded - and Ash wasn’t going to lie: it was ... pretty cute. At first he was just surprised at the fact he was there, considering that originally he was checking up on them to make sure everything was as okay, but now? He was just surprised at how someone could sound so cute and not be known to him. “...aww, is it too much for you?” The blonde let go of his wrists to use both hands, using one hand to softly pinch his sides while the other digged mercilessly under his arm. “AHAHAHAHAHASH! F-FUHUHCK! STOHOHOHOP IHIHIHIT, PLEHEHEHEASE...!” Ash flinched back - ... that was the first time he ever heard the boy cuss. He knew it was getting bad then, if he had no other choice but to swear. His fingers stopped where they were, although they never really moved from their spot.
Out of breath and panting with still a couple of giggles flowing out, the other laid his head back and sighed in relief. It was finally over - at least, for now - and he could take a moment to take in all of a precious resource called ‘air’. “..t-thahanks..” he said, covering both of his eyes with his hands. Jeez, Ash did a number on the poor boy. “..are you that ticklish everywhere?” Ash asked with a somewhat serious tone, playful wiggling his fingers at him. “No,” Eiji said softly. “Not that I remember anyways. I haven’t been tickled since my sister did many years ago. I just..haven’t really thought about it.. until I saw you tickling Skipper..” There was a brief moment of silence before Ash burst out laughing, unexpectedly.
“H-Huh..? What’s so funny?”
“That’s cute,” he said, pushing his hair back from his eyes. Cute? Huh? The red hue on his face came back as he puffed his cheeks out, crossing his arms. “Cute, huh? What do you mean by that?”
“Just sayin’, it’s cute.” Ash repeated, turning around so that he was facing Eiji’s legs and Ash’s back was visible to him. Eiji was visibly confused - weren’t they ... done? A terrified shiver went through him. If... he’s doing what he’s thinking of, Ash might literally kill him. Physically and mentally. “Hey, Eiji?”
“Y-Yeah?” He asked, his voice seemingly small in comparison. There was a moment of silence before he turned around, holding eye contact with the pitiful male. “Are your feet ticklish?” His stomach dropped - nonononono... this was what he wasn’t looking forward to. He darted his eyes away, looking for an excuse to get away. “...er, actually, I j-just remembered ... I forgot to clean the kitchen! I’ll just, uh, being going now...”
“Can it. You cleaned the kitchen yesterday, remember? Oh, well, I guess you don’t remember me being there. I am a master of stealth, after all.” That little... his cheeks puffed up as he realized there was no getting out of this. Covering his face as he wiggled his socked feet, he remained silent - and that was all he needed as an answer. Tracing a single finger up the sole of his foot, the reaction? ...interesting, to say the least. The smaller one squeaked loudly, covering his mouth - eyes widened in surprise that he was the one who made that noise. “Jackpot,” Ash murmured, mostly to himself as he scribbled at 10 fingers on both of his socked feet.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-! WAHAHAHAHAIT! YAHAHAHAHAHAMERU!” Eiji couldn’t help but cry out in his native language, seeing as this was probably the worst torture in his life - Ash merely chuckled. “‘Yameru?’ Does that mean stop in Japanese? Cause if so, you already know my answer.” Tears pricked at the edges of his eyes, threatening to spill out - man, could Eiji have walked in on ANYTHING else? It feels like he’s being murdered! “PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE!! I CAHAHAHAHANT TAHAHAHAKE IHIHIHIHIT!!”
“Oh, poor ticklish Eiji,” Ash fake whined, dragging his nails slowly up the poor boy’s feet. All the while he’s doing that with one hand, Eiji doesn’t even notice the fact that Ash is taking off one of his socks and throwing it to the side of the room. But when he feels all 5 of his fingers against his bare skin - you’d start to wonder if he’s the most ticklish person on the planet. Eiji screamed, pushing against the blonde’s back weakly - from how much he’s been laughing, it feels like his chest and face are on fire, and his laughs have begun to turn a little wheezy. Picking up on this sign, the younger stops, getting a little worried.
“...ah, whoops. Did I kill ya?” Ash asked as he turned around to find a tear-soaked, messy haired Japanese boy laying down on his back. The other couldn’t speak at the moment - he was still processing the fact that he stopped, since there was still tingly sensations all over his body. It made him jolt a couple of seconds but it didn’t seem to affect him that much. “...n-no,” he wheezed out, “...y-you almost did...” there came a sarcastic and light chuckle out of him but when that was done, he was lucky to have air.
“You guys finished with your one-sided fight?” There was a voice that everyone in the room recognized - Shorter, the purple haired Chinese boss was standing right inside the doorway, his arm resting against it. But somehow, even Ash didn’t even see him coming. Eiji was too embarrassed to speak and Ash immediately went back to being a boss for the day. “Yeah, we’re done,” he said as he jumped off the other male, letting him be alone for a minute. “Let’s go get him, yeah?” Shorter and Ash fist bumped before heading out the door, leaving Eiji alone in the room where he just got tickled to death.
What a day this had been...

Chapter Summary: Montserrat does the opposite of what Calhoun begs her to do. She and Damian are on the same page when it comes to Gael's trial.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hey, where's your brother?" Montserrat startled Kara just as the woman was about to put on lipstick. Instead of going on her lips, like a normal person would do, it went over her cheek.
"Montse!" the blonde huffed and threw Montserrat a glare for her imprudence, not that the detective noticed.
"What?"
Kara gestured at her red-stained face. "I have a lunch date with Sonny!"
"Oh please," the detective snorted and looked away. "He's in too deep to notice any flaws in you."
"While that is both lovely and stress-relieving, I still like looking nice," Kara got up from her vanity desk's chair and went in search for a makeup removal wipe around the room.
"Okay but seriously, have you got any news on Damian? He texted me this morning saying that he might have found a clue of where that missing security feed video went but he hasn't texted me anything else."
"So why would he text me?" huffed Kara again. She'd found her makeup removal wipes and had returned to the vanity desk. She leaned close to the mirror in order to strategically remove only the lipstick smudge and not her entire makeup.
"Because I'm desperate and hopeful, what else?"
Kara mockingly glared through the mirror.
"So?" the detective went on like nothing. "Did he happen to text you?"
"No," sighed Kara. "And if he does, I will call you straightaway. I promise."
"Thanks," Montserrat said and moved to leave only to stop by the doorway to look back. "And why are you putting on so much make up anyways? You're going to be stuffing your face with food."
"Get out!" Kara pointed, making Montserrat laughed. She could hear Montserrat's laughter even as the woman left, but Kara secretly decided she would much rather have this version of her best friend than the totally depressed version she had not too long ago. She wasn't sure what it was that changed - since Gael was still on trial - but Kara was thankful that something did change.

The last thing Rafael expected to see in his office in the middle of the day was Montserrat comfortably sitting at his desk, in his chair. "What...are you doing…?" he closed the door behind him, not that it would matter since Carmen had the day off. He'd be in trials all day today.
"I own your office now," Montserrat waved him off as most of her focus was on her laptop in front of her.
"No, I'm pretty sure you don't," Rafael countered as he walked up to his desk, but even him putting his briefcase down with a loud thud wasn't enough to startle Montserrat out of his chair.
"I seem to recall that yesterday you said I owned you so-" she looked up with a big smile on her face, a sarcastic one at that, "-I own the office now too. So could you please…" she made a gesture for him to actually leave the office.
"I did not say you owned me, I said..." Rafael cleared his throat when he remembered the moment he uttered similar words to the ones Montserrat was saying. It involved a lot of kissing in which he might have lost some of his lucidity. "I said: 'You might have me wrapped around your finger.' Emphasis on the 'might'."
Montserrat still smirked at him, quite proudly too. "It's amazing what I can get you to say when these-" she tapped her finger over her lips, "-are at work."
Rafael didn't know whether to laugh or snap. He'd been in more puzzled states this week alone than he had been over any case he ever handled. But he liked it. A lot. "Get out of my chair," he instructed, though smiling now, "And stop being so sarcastic. I have a short lunch break today."
"I know, those cases Olivia has me reading to catch up are terrible," Montserrat leaned back on his chair. "I'm swamped in files and when I'm not doing that I'm tailing after Damian and going to my brother's trials. So, you want to try again and tell me to get up from this comfortable chair?"
Rafael rolled his eyes. "No, I guess not."
Montserrat smugly smiled at him. "I wouldn't have been able to get away with this-" she rubbed her hands over the chair's arm-rest, "-if I wasn't kissing you every so often now, huh?" Not too long ago he was snapping at her to stop sitting over his desk.
Rafael decided to skip her moment of high ego. His break was truly short. "You're extra smug today - is there a new development in your brother's trial?" he moved around the desk and tapped the top of her laptop.
"Sort of," she straightened up in the chair. "Damian said this morning that he may have gotten a clue of where the missing security camera video went, but he hasn't updated me. I want to go down there and find it myself already. It's agonizing waiting."
"You do that and you ruin your brother. Is that what you want?"
"...no."
"Then what do you think you should do?"
"...wait," Montserrat answered in a low mutter.
"There you go. Now get out of my chair."
Montserrat rolled her eyes but this time she listened and stood up. "Is there something I should know about that chair, or…?"
"Yes, it's my chair. And...it's my chair," he said dead serious, thinking it was a fairly good reason.
She shut her laptop down and switched spots with him so he could finally take his seat. "While I'm here, I just have to ask something really quick. And I wouldn't ask because...I know this-" she gestured between herself and him, "-is brand new. Like 3 days new, but…"
"You could get on with it before lunch is over, you know."
Her expression went flat. "I have to make sure we're on the same page, okay? Kara's noticed I'm a bit more…" her left hand went in circles while she came up with the right word, "...happier?"
Rafael's expression immediately turned into a smug smile. "Really?"
"Shut up," Montserrat pointed at him. She didn't want that smug look to stay on his face forever, because she was sure he could do that.
"I didn't say anything-"
"-but your face says it all. But being really serious here, I didn't tell her anything."
"Montserrat, I never told you to keep it a secret-"
"-I know, I know," She folded her arms over her chest and leaned against the desk. "I would just like to know...where exactly we stand."
"You mean telling people or not?"
"Aha."
"That depends solely on you," Rafael rose from his chair, giving her a small smile. He was fairly amused by her sudden nervousness. "I have no problem letting anyone know to stay away from you- I mean that we're together."
Montserrat shot him a look. But even if she wanted to pretend to be annoyed at the comment, she couldn't because she felt the same way towards him. She didn't want anyone else going near him.
But then again…
"Well," she pushed herself away from the desk and stepped closer to him, "I kind of like this right now. No one really knows except for Sonny but he's an easy one to keep quiet."
"You mean because you'll scare him to death?"
"Yes," she grinned then leaned on him with her hands on his chest. "I really like how you think."
"Really? Because that's not what you used to say," he curled his hands over hers. "In fact, it was just one of the many things you used to hate about me. Like my attitude…"
"Still hate that, actually."
"And my voice…"
"Only just getting past it, really."
"And my mouth…"
"Still hate that," Montserrat wiggled one of her hands from his to tap one finger over his lips. "I really hate it, to be honest."
"Oh, you still do?" Rafael gingerly pulled her finger off his lips and wrapped his hand over hers entirely. Now he could truly relish in her warmth and her softness — these 3 days, though casual so far, had made him feel the best he'd ever been in such a long time.
"I still do," Montserrat tried pulling her hand from his but he had a tight grip on it.
"I guess I still have some work to do, then," Rafael brought her hand to his lips for a soft kiss.
"Work hard then," Montserrat chuckled. She watched as he wrapped one arm around her waist while his other hand freely went up and down her side. She actually hated that he had this effect on her when he wasn't really doing anything except touching her. What irritated her more was that she had yet to find something that gave him the same feeling. Yes, he did clearly enjoy their time together these past days but Montserrat felt like there could be more feelings than what he expressed.
In layman's terms, she felt like she needed to figure out what made him tick. That way, she could drive him crazy...like he drove her crazy.
Just as they shared one kiss, Montserrat's cellphone started buzzing in her pocket. "Sorry," she pulled the phone out and saw it was a text. "Gael's case. Damian thinks he might have found the place where the video's hidden. I have to run."
"Uh, is it...is it just going to be you and him?" Rafael really hoped that question didn't sound as awkward as he thought it did. He fully blamed Sonny for putting that idea into his head, but then he remembered what he saw in the courthouse 3 days ago and…
Sonny may have been right.
And he may have been jealous.
Montserrat still didn't have a clue about it, so she just nodded and casually answered the question with a 'yeah'. "Casey's meeting us afterwards."
"Ah."
Montserrat stuffed her laptop into her bag then noticed his unusual quietness. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Rafael went to take his seat again, but even that movement was unusually shifty.
Montserrat's eyebrows wrinkled together. She put her laptop down on the desk and looked at him again. "Are we...good?"
"Of course we are," he smiled softly at her. It was convincing straight away.
"O...kay," she nodded slowly. "So then, we've agreed to keep things...quiet?"
"Do you want to?"
"...kind of? I mean, I don't want to keep it a secret forever it's just...you know that whole blissful bubble thing that most people look down upon?"
"Sort of?"
"I really like the bubble," Montserrat tucked a curl behind her ear, pursing her lips together. "It's just nice and...free? Does that make sense?"
Rafael nodded, close to chuckling. "It does, surprisingly. I agree. At least for the time being, it might be better if we just keep things between us."
"Exactly," Montserrat strung her bag's strap over her shoulder. "Well, you know, except for Sonny but...we might just kill him to keep the secret."
"Exactly," Rafael pointed at her, making her laugh.
"You're supposed to warn me that this is the wrong place to say something like that and especially not to say it in front of you, a D.A?"
"Right," Rafael looked away as he pretended to remember that rule he himself told her a long time ago. But in the end, he shook his head. "I might be giving you some special treatments."
"As you should," Montserrat pointed. She moved to his side, leaning down only to press a kiss to his lips. "I'll see you later?"
"Please," he said, making it sound like a beg more than a response. That was a novelty for him too.
Montserrat smiled at him. "I'll call you later, then." She looked at him for a few seconds before surprising him with a second kiss.
Her hand curled on the back of his neck as she finished the kiss. Now Rafael didn't quite like surprises, but he definitely liked her surprises. He realized that very quickly.
"I really have to go," Montserrat said as soon as she pulled away and forced her hands away from him. If they touched him again, she wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon. "See you."
Rafael watched her leave in a hasty pace and despite having this idiot smile on his face, once he remembered who she was going to meet up with...it faltered. "Goddammit," he muttered.

Damian had explained to Montserrat very quickly what he'd found. And what he thought he had found, was pretty damn convincing. It had Montserrat pacing back and forth in her apartment's living room.
"You think it's in that storage room?" Montserrat asked for the third time since Damian had finished telling her the story.
"I think so," Damian nodded fast. "I was rewatching the security feed from that day and I noticed there was a janitor that I hadn't really...noticed before." He scrunched his face after realizing that was a terrible way to describe it. "See, I know everyone who works with me, from the top to bottom. I've never seen that janitor before."
"You think he doesn't really work there?"
"I think he wasn't even a janitor," Damian clarified where his thoughts were going. "Because he only appears in the day before the building fell apart. He doesn't even appear the day Gael made the last evaluation, even when he turns in the paperwork. He's just not there."
"I gotta find that guy," scowled Montserrat.
"Yes but let's focus on the main thing right now."
"You're right," Montserrat stopped pacing and sat on the edge of the coffee table, an act that would always have Kara on her back. "If we find that video and show them the one you found with that janitor who's not really a janitor...we can end this trial."
"Exactly," nodded Damian. "I'll just go head back after lunch and do that."
"But we can't let that person know you're onto them. You'll need someone else to look for it."
"It's fine. He's not there anymore. He was literally only there for one day, maybe two days max."
"Just because he's not there doesn't mean he doesn't have eyes or ears on us," Montserrat wagged a finger. "I can go in. Hardly ever seen me before in that place."
"Oh no, you can't do that. You heard what Calhoun said. If Geraghty finds out you were anywhere near there, she'll make it look like you planted the evidence."
"But I can't just stay away! I need to be there when we get that video."
"How's about a compromise, then?" Damian leaned forwards on the couch. "I'm the one who has to go in, but you can wait outside. And I mean some place where you won't get caught by a camera because we really can't mess this up for Gael. Not when we're this close."
Montserrat exhaled and nodded her head. He had the right mindset. She couldn't ruin this for her brother, especially when it just because she wanted to go in. It didn't matter who went in as long as someone came out with the damn video. "Okay, it sounds good. But I have to say I don't like the idea of you going in alone."
Damian smiled at her. "Worried about me?"
"Always," she said. "You're family and we always watch our back. Sme malí, ale mocní," she offered him another smile.
"I have no idea what you just said but it sounded good," Damian pointed at her.
"We are small but mighty," Montserrat translated the Slovakian phrase. "We're a small family but we are strong as hell."
"Okay, so how do you want to play this?"
Montserrat thought about it long and hard. She didn't want to risk losing Gael his case but she wanted someone she could fully trust to go in with Damian in case he got hurt. "I got it," she declared and rose from the table with a newfound grin on her face. "You can go in, but I'll be sending in my own help."
Damian looked at her wearily. He knew her idea face all too well, but sometimes they didn't end like she planned. "Who'd you have in mind?"

"Just go in, go directly to that room and then get out," Montserrat walked between Damian and a friend of hers. Said friend may have been from 1PP but she wasn't a detective yet, so…
Fair game?
Montserrat preferred not to think about it.
"Okay and while I do that I'm guessing your friend…" Damian looked over Montserrat's head to the slightly taller woman — an olive-skinned woman with shoulder length black hair, "...keeps a look out for me?"
"Yes," Montserrat nodded and glanced at the friend in question. "Andra's been training and she's an officer now, so…"
"You want me to keep him safe, got it," the woman nodded her head. She didn't understand much of what was going on but she did want to help Montserrat. "Officer Andra Moressy," she then told Damian. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," Damian said, feeling more than reasonably awkward.
Montserrat stopped a few blocks before they reached Damian's job. "Okay, this is as far as I can go." She turned to the two. "You guys good? I'll be out here and if anything goes wrong just call me and I'll go, no matter what."
Damian put a hand over her shoulder, giving her one of those smiles telling her everything would be fine. "We got it, Montse. You didn't need to bring another friend, though. I can do this on my own."
"I just feel a lot better if someone else was with you," Montserrat smiled back, though not as strong as his was. She looked at Andra and sighed. "Sorry for springing this on you, I just couldn't think of anyone else that could go in without problems."
Andra waved a hand, indicating it was just fine. "Always good to have some practice, right? But can I ask...who exactly are we supposed to be looking out for?"
"Um…" Montserrat slowly slid her hands into her coat's pocket. "Some guy who pretended to be a janitor. He helped frame my brother and even though Damian says he hasn't shown up...I don't want to take chances. But if you see him, shoot for a leg because I was that bastard alive so I can ask — demand answers."
Andra wouldn't even point out how fast Montserrat's face had hardened. She got it. This was personal. "Okay." She looked at Damian with the same question he had. "You ready?"
"Oh yeah," he nodded. "Let's go."
Andra nodded again and started the way. Damian only lingered behind to give Montserrat a hug and remind her to stay away.
Now Montserrat knew this could be hours of waiting and the worst part was that she couldn't even call Damian to know how things were going. She'd busied herself at a small coffee shop, though she hadn't even drank what she ordered. At around five, late five, Montserrat got a text from Rafael. He was asking if she was alright.
She remembered she'd promised to stop by again later or call him. She picked up her phone to call, but then after thinking about it she put her phone back down. She couldn't involve him in this, not when it had the potential to harm his career and job altogether. It was exactly what he'd warned her months ago when he reasoned with her that they couldn't be together. She didn't want to prove him right.
After a few minutes of thinking again, she grabbed her phone off the table and responded with a quick text.
I'm so sorry, something came up.
Montserrat felt terrible lying but if she told him the truth he could try and stop her. But she definitely wasn't into the idea of lying so early in a relationship. I mean, every relationship has a little white lies but they definitely shouldn't have a big lie like this one. She sighed inwardly.
Two hours passed and Montserrat still didn't have a word from Damian. In that span of 2 hours, she did receive a couple more texts. One was from Rafael again asking if she was okay, to which Montserrat answered yet another short response 'yup' and moved on.
She might pay for that one later.
The second text was from Casey, asking where the hell she was because Calhoun was driving her crazy.
And the third text was from Olivia, requesting Montserrat read up on the latest case that had apparently turned into a staged night raid.
Out of those three, Montserrat felt like she could at least respond to Casey because that was the one that would get her into the least amount of trouble. And if it did get her into trouble, at least Casey would know what to do.
And in doing that, Casey came storming into the coffee shop 30 minutes later. "Montserrat Irene Novak, I cannot believe you are doing this!"
Montserrat straightened in her chair and, maturely, pouted. "Well, I didn't tell you so you could come and scold me."
"Someone has to!" Casey plopped down into the empty chair across her. She lowered her voice for the next time she spoke up. "Do you realize that you can lose your job by doing this? Not to mention lose your brother's case all together?"
"I'm being careful," Montserrat said quietly.
"Careful!?" Casey's eyes were wide with incredulity. "You're putting yourself in the wolf's den! If someone from Geraghty's team finds out that you arranged this, Montserrat I don't even know what the hell is going to happen to you."
"I don't care," Montserrat said bluntly and before Casey could scold her again, she explained, "I don't mean that as in 'I'm careless and I'm doing what I want' thing. I mean that as in someone framed my brother for a double murder and I can't let that go. Not when I have the means to prove that he's innocent and that he's been framed."
Casey sighed. "Montse, this is beyond dangerous. And do you even have proof of what you're saying?"
"It's the only logical reason for all of this," Montserrat made a gesture. "Gael is not careless in his job. He says he checked everything in final evaluation and I believe him. He would never let anyone get hurt us because he chose not to do his usual routine. Someone had to have framed him for this."
"But why? Why would someone do that?"
"I don't know," shrugged Montserrat. "But if we find the guy who did it, we can sure as hell ask them."
For a long moment, Casey stared at her cousin. Like Damian, she recognized Montserrat's idea face and feared the results. This wasn't an ordinary idea, nor an ordinary situation. It was a huge risk she was taking.
"Alright, fine," Casey sighed. "I guess we can wait here."
"Casey, you don't have to. I know it's putting my job on the line, you don't need to risk yours."
"But I do. Because my cousin is an idiot," Casey smiled so casually while Montserrat rolled her eyes. "So, might as well order a coffee. How long have you been here?"
"I'm going for nearly 3 hours now."
"Long wait," Casey understood then picked up a menu. Like Montserrat, she ended up ordering a vanilla latte. "So, how's life?"
Montserrat couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously?"
"Well, it's a long wait! I don't want to spend it in awkward silence."
Montserrat had to laugh one more time.
"Seriously. You do seem a bit chipper than usual, especially since your brother's facing trial for murder."
Montserrat no longer laughed but there was a secretive smile that Casey recognized fairly fast. "I'm good."
"You're hiding something," Casey pointed a wagging finger at her cousin. "What is it?"
"Something good, don't worry about it."
"Now I'm worrying. What are you hiding, Montse?"
"I said-" Montserrat leaned forwards on the table, "-don't worry about it. You'll know later in the future."
Casey narrowed her eyes on her cousin. But, before she could respond, Montserrat gasped at something behind her.
"Damian!" she practically scrambled to get out of her seat.
Damian and Andra had come rushing in, like they'd been running all the way there.
"Thought I might find you in here," Damian pointed at the chalkboard sign announcing Vanilla Lattes were half off. "You love those things."
Montserrat rolled her eyes and moved onto better things. "Did you get it!?"
"I found it! I found the missing video!"
"Seriously!?" Montserrat's entire face lit up like a series of fireworks. That was the best thing she'd heard as of late, with the exception of one other thing but that was for her and Rafael to know.
"Yeah. It was hidden through the old files that needed to be archived which - honestly - was a pretty good hiding spot considering no one wants that job!"
"So you've got it!?"
"Aha!"
Montserrat laughed in utter joy. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight. "The charges are going to be dropped!"
"Yup!"
"That's great," Casey got up from her chair, smiling like they were but she seemed more level headed than the pair. "So we should get that evidence logged in for trial tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Montserrat pulled away with a newfound scowl on her face.
"It's past five and by the time they actually get the charges dropped, it'll be way too late for tonight."
That put a real dampener in Montserrat's mood. She drew away from Damian and turned to her cousin. "But we need to get those charges dropped now."
"I get it, Montse, but we can't really…" Casey trailed off once she began to see Montserrat's impatient face. Even if she did spend 5 minutes lecturing about the rules and process, Montserrat wouldn't be listening to her at all. "Oh fine, let's go."
And just like that, the smile and beam was back on Montserrat's face. "That's more like it!"
Together, they sought out Calhoun to loop her in but as soon as she heard the news, she had a good go at Montserrat for her 'wrecklessness'. Montserrat couldn't say that she listened, nor that she cared. Of course it was Calhoun who put some sense into all of them as she started going off with the actual process to get the charges dropped. However, Calhoun was a fool if she believed Montserrat would leave her alone. Between the night before and the next morning, she had all of them working to put the evidence together so that first come tomorrow Gael would be a free man. If Calhoun had to say it…
"You are the most irritating woman I have ever met," she spat as she walked alongside Montserrat down a hallway. "And don't forget I've handled your squad's petty cases. And Rafael Barba altogether."
"Yeah, it's not the first time I hear that," Montserrat had her biggest smile that morning. "And I've learned to live with it."
Calhoun came to a stop outside an office door then turned to face the slightly smaller detective. She was used to handling all of the SVU detectives but it turned out Montserrat had enough to be the entire squad. "Can you keep yourself calm while I go in there—" Calhoun pointed at the closed doors behind her, "—and do my thing? Is that possible?"
Montserrat rolled her eyes. She might have been bouncing on her feet but she could definitely sit still for a few minutes while the two lawyers spoke with the judge on the trial. "Yes, of course. Just tell me that it's finally going to be over now."
"Yes, I showed Geraghty the last of the evidence and we've gotten the judge to listen to us before the trial is supposed to go on. So just, stay here and don't do anything."
Montserrat barely resisted the urge to roll her eyes again. Calhoun was speaking to her as if she were a child. Instead of responding to that, Montserrat only gestured for Calhoun to go inside already. As Montserrat waited, she saw her family, along with Damian and Kara, coming towards her.
"Hey, where's Calhoun?" Casey immediately started looking around for the woman.
"She's already inside," Montserrat pointed to the shut office doors behind her.
"Do I need to…?" Gael's pointed finger at the doors was shakey, as expected.
"No," she smiled at him. "You just stay out here and wait for Calhoun to give you the good news."
"I still cannot believe you disobeyed Miss Calhoun's instructions," their father still had the same scolding look on his face as he had when Montserrat first told him the previous day.
"It's done, Dad," Montserrat waved him off.
"And if we hand't done it, then we wouldn't be here right now," Damian added.
"Dad's still right, you guys risked yourselves too much," Gael shook his head, but soon Casey was shushing them.
Geraghty was coming up to them, looking none too pleased. "Morning." Even her greeting was sour.
"Geraghty," Casey flatout smirked at the woman. She kept her word that she would enjoy the moment Geraghty was forced to drop the charges.
Geraghty ignored her and the others as she walked into the office.
"She seems lovely," Kara remarked in a low mutter.
"She's a bitch," Casey turned to the group with no sense of regret of her vocabulary.
The meeting between the two lawyers and the judge lasted only fifteen minutes and when the lawyers emerged, the group could clearly see who won and who lost.
"You're free of all charges, Gael," Calhoun declared with a wide, proud smile. For a moment, it matched Casey's face.
Gael erupted into laughter, along with the others. They hugged and hugged until they heard Geraghty's scoff.
"Oh just admit, you lost," Casey told the woman. "I did tell you that this case wasn't going to last."
"That's great and all, but I do want to remind you people that someone made that building crumble. People still died."
"Yeah and we'll let Homicide take that over," Montserrat reassured but she definitely was beginning to see why Casey didn't appreciate the woman. "But you have to admit that you had the wrong guy. You put my brother through hell — his daughters too."
"What do you want from me? An apology?" scoffed Geraghty. "I was just doing my job."
"No, you were doing my job which I will happily take back now," Casey waved a goodbye. "I actually catch put the right person on trial."
Geraghty rolled her eyes.
"I hope you do," Gael spoke up for the first time. Geraghty still laid harsh eyes on the man but he didn't care. "Because that guy — whoever they are — planned this. They wanted to hurt people and threw me under the bus. You need to catch them."
"Like your sister said—" Geraghty made a lazy gesture at Montserrat, "—I'll let Homicide take over." She strode off without saying another word.
"Seriously, she seems lovely," Kara turned to Montserrat with a flat face. She was so glad that she didn't have to work anywhere near these types of people.
"I don't care, I just know that I'm finally free of any charges," Gael smiled so widely it could crack his face in two. "Miss Calhoun, I am very thankful for what you did."
"Yeah, now I can't really hate you," Montserrat dramatically sighed, making Calhoun roll her eyes.
"I'll remember that next time when we meet," Calhoun pointed.
Montserrat couldn't help but smile. "Thank you," she said, genuinely meaning to thank the woman for everything she'd done for them.
It was a strange sight for Calhoun but she gave a nod of her head and went on her way.
"Okay, now we can celebrate right?" Damian's expression was slowly turning into a smile.
"Yes, absolutely yes!" Gael nodded.
"I know a place," Kara raised a finger in the air. "If you guys are interested…"
"Please, lead the way," Gael gestured for her, making the others laugh with him.
Kara suggested they mainly go to a bar since drinking is all they wanted to do. Sure, they might have a meal here or there, but they mainly wanted those celebratory drinks.
However, Montserrat couldn't exactly celebrate all the way. She was into her third drink when she saw a couple at the counter sitting together. And suddenly she remembered she'd practically blown off Rafael's texts from the previous night. In all her excitement, she'd completely forgotten anything and everything that didn't have to do with her brother.
I am a terrible, terrible person, she lowered her drink to the table.
"What's up with you?" Kara was the one to notice how incredibly pale Montserrat had become all of a sudden. "You're white as a sheet."
"I just...I just remembered I…" Montserrat bit her lower lip and thought how to best word her problem without giving it away. She'd never really kept a relationship away from her best friend, and right now she really wanted to tell Kara.
"Montse?" Kara asked again. She looked over to her brother, Gael and Thomas. They'd gone up to the counter for a quicker service. Casey had left for the restroom. "Should we call it a night already?"
"No, no, absolutely not," Montserrat shook her head.
"Then what's wrong?" Kara's smile was encouraging but when she saw how much Montserrat was struggling, it began to fade. "Are you okay?"
"I'm...seeing someone," as Montserrat had said those words, she realized what it meant.
Kara, for her part, blinked for the first second or so. "Come again?"
"I'm...I just...started a relationship and I've already messed up," Montserrat pushed her glass away, as if that was the root of her problem. "Seriously, a 3 day thing and I've already blown him off."
Kara was trying to understand the fact at some point her best friend had initiated a relationship and she completely missed it! She put a hand on Montserrat's arm and forced the ginger to look at her. "You're going to have to explain this cos I'm not understanding it."
At this point, Montserrat figured she might as well say it. If Rafael was to be mad at her, it should be grand. Ignoring the logic of her reasoning, Montserrat rambled, "Three days ago Rafael and I pretty much said 'let's go for it's and he texted me yesterday 2 times asking me if I was going to stop by his office because I told him I would stop by and of course, since I was busy waiting for Damian to get the missing videos, I responded with a very short message saying something came up. And then he texted me again later in the night and I completely forgot to answer and now he hasn't texted me at all. Or called." Montserrat drew in a deep breath after everything was out. "How much trouble do you think that'll be?"
Kara shook her head. She was still trying to catch up. "Wait a minute!"
"Kara, please file all this under 'freak about later' and just help me right now. I'm nervous!"
"Just go, you idiot," Kara made a 'shoo' motion with her hand. "Don't think about any text or any calls. You messed up now you go and see him. Like face to face."
"I'm a little afraid…"
"I'd be too if that's who I chose to be with-"
"Hey!"
"You know I'm kidding," Kara waved her off. "But seriously, we'll talk later. You need to go."
"You think Gael's going to be upset if I leave?"
"Umm…"
Montserrat followed Kara's gaze back to the counter where she saw her brother happily drinking with Damian and their father. It almost looked like they forgot they were even there. "Okay, that's my cue."
"Good luck," Kara held two thumbs up. "You'll need it. How is he when he gets mad? Like properly mad."
"I don't know," Montserrat stopped to really think about the question. Sure, she'd seen Rafael get upset over a case or even with her but...a proper anger? That one was still unknown to her.
"How do you not know? You've pissed him off countless times - frankly, I'm surprised how this even worked in the end."
Montserrat rolled her eyes at the sarcasm. "Thanks, Kara. You're such a great help."
Kara smiled. "You bet I am."
Montserrat grabbed her things and left before it became even more late.
~0~
When Rafael heard the light knock on the office door, he expected it to be Carmen, or at least Olivia with some new turnout on their latest case. But, when he looked up from his papers, he found Montserrat nervously standing under the doorway.
"You're mad and you have every right to be," she stepped inside.
Rafael put down the glass of scotch he'd been nursing while undergoing the terrible load of work at the coffee table. "I'm not mad," he clarified.
"Yeah, you are," Montserrat walked over and plopped down next to him on the couch. "I mean, you should be…totally blew you off yesterday."
"I'm not mad," Rafael insisted, now even smiling a bit out of amusement. "I'm annoyed, yes, but I'm not mad."
Montserrat searched his face for any indication of the opposite, but that damn smile didn't appear angry in the least. "... you're not?" he shook his head. "But...you didn't text anymore, nor call."
"Look Montserrat, I'm not the type of person to blow up someone's phone because they didn't answer my calls or texts. I will probably never be that guy, actually."
"Still, regardless, I'm very sorry. Something did come up-"
"-I know. Your brother's charges have been dropped."
Montserrat blinked in genuine surprise. "What? How did you know?" She hadn't even told anyone from SVU yet.
Rafael loved her reaction. It was hard not to laugh. "I got a call from Calhoun earlier in the day saying I owed her big time. Apparently, you are - and these are her words, not mine - truly the most annoying woman she has ever met. Congratulations, I didn't think it was possible to irritate that woman more than I do."
Montserrat playfully rolled her eyes, though there was a hint of relief that things weren't as bad as she thought they'd been.
"I'm really happy your brother is free, though. Although I'm wondering how it was that he got free…" Rafael tilted his head at her, eyes carefully reading her shifty movements. "Calhoun mentioned you found the video…"
"Um, well, technically Damian found it. I waited outside."
Skipping over the fact she'd spent her entire day with Damian, Rafael wondered to what extent Montserrat involved herself in something as serious as interference. "You were told to stay away from their job."
"I was told many things," Montserrat pressed her hands to the hemline of her dress, acting as casual as possible.
Rafael shook his head at her. "I don't think I need to point out the big risk you took, right?"
"No," she shifted on the couch to face him, "I know. But you also know that I was getting desperate. When Damian told me he had an idea of where the video was, I had to do it. If there was a chance to prove that my brother was framed, I was going to take it."
Rafael stared long and hard at her before nodding in agreement. "Yeah you were." Because if he was in her shoes, he'd probably do the same thing.
Montserrat smiled in relief. At least she wouldn't be getting the same lecture from him too. Her brother, father and Casey all drilled her earlier. "And that's why I like you," she declared with the context of her thoughts backing her up. She got up only to sit again but on his lap this time, draping one arm around his neck. For a moment, it seemed like Rafael was frozen but Montserrat soon realized he had a lingering stare on her legs.
"Oooh, I think I finally found what makes you tick," she said with a growing smirk on her face.
Once Rafael knew he'd been caught he rolled his eyes in an attempt to be casual. "Don't start."
"Oh, but I will," she grinned as she crossed her legs. "I know to wear more dresses now."
"It's not funny," he insisted but the fact he kept looking away from her made it all the more amusing.
"I'm going to jot this day down as the day I got you flustered."
Rafael exhaled and concluded this was probably how their relationship was going to work. No matter, he'd figure out a way to get her back. Right now though, he admitted that having her sit on his lap was mesmerizing. He could smell her perfume, her sweet scent drifting towards him and, no doubt, setting on his clothes and skin.
"I almost forgot, I didn't know if you liked brownies but I did stop by my favorite place for some if you want a taste," Montserrat languidly pointed at her bag sitting at the corner on the couch.
"I do have a sweet tooth, actually," Rafael's admission had her nearly laughing. "I'm being very serious here."
"You just don't look like the type," she shrugged. "You want to dig in, then?"
"Sure...after I finish this," he had leaned forwards — making her do the same in the process — and reached for his glass on the table. As he was sitting back, Montserrat surprised him with a kiss on the cheek.
At his expression, she chuckled. "What's that face for?"
Rafael awkwardly cleared his throat. "What face?"
"The one you've been making each time I do something to you. Are you — are you not okay with me…?" she moved to get up but Rafael quickly pulled her back. "Okay, that's a 'no' so…" Montserrat tilted her head and studied him for a minute before realizing something. "When's the last time you've dated?"
"Are you saying I'm inexperienced?"
"Oh no I don't doubt that you are experienced. I'm just asking if it's been a while since you've last dated. And if the answer is 'yes' then I am more than prepared to remind you of the goodness that comes with dating." She leaned her body closer to his with the smuggest yet sweetest smile on her face. Rafael didn't think that was possible. "So, has it been a while?"
"...maybe." Now Rafael had to fight the urge not to roll his eyes at her growing smirk. She made it real hard not to want to bicker with her, but — if he was being honest — he preferred this way. If she wasn't who she was, the way she was, things would be so incredibly boring.
And Montserrat was far from being 'boring'.
"I'm not so shocked," Montserrat swiftly took the glass in his hand. She ignored his expression while she drank it down. He'd only been holding it so she might as well finish it for him.
"My profession doesn't exactly give the best time for dating. I've had a few dates here and there but nothing serious. I think my last serious relationship was back in college with Yelina."
Montserrat scrunched her face at the mention of that woman. "Nope, please don't talk about her with me. I don't like her." She put the now-empty glass on the table then looked back at him with an expression that left no room to even consider if she was joking or not.
"I should really tell you that she talked to me afterwards, explaining that she didn't mean any trouble…" but Rafael trailed off as Montserrat shook her head.
"I'm sorry, I just don't like her. And it's not even because of what happened but...it's because of what she did to you before, with Alex's trial. I don't like anyone — I won't like anyone — who tries to hurt you. That's final."
The smile that spread across Rafael's face was automatic. It'd been a long time since someone cared that much for him. He touched her face, feeling her soft, warm skin. He let his fingers wander down to the back of her neck to bring her in for a kiss. Montserrat quickly wrapped her other arm around his neck and gladly pressed her chest to his while they kissed. A couple seconds later, her muffled laughter filled the air as she'd felt Rafael's hand press over one of her legs and seemed to slowly be making its way up.
"So much for being subtle," she said after pulling away. They both needed to catch some air. Rafael wouldn't apologize for that one, not when she was smiling like that. "So, you want to start on those brownies?"
"Sure," he agreed and reached for the forgotten bag. He handed it to her and watched her eagerly pull it open to find those brownies she loved so much. "You know, maybe we can go out to dinner this week."
Montserrat paused just as she'd found the brownies. "Dinner? Like…a date? Our first date?"
"Yeah," Rafael nodded. "I hadn't asked because I knew it wouldn't be right while your brother was going through a trial but since he's good now...let me take you out for dinner. Maybe this weekend?"
Montserrat beamed. "Yes, of course! I would love to have dinner with you."
"Perfect," he matched her smile with his own.
"Just one more thing. I may have told Kara about us — sorry!"
"Wait, what—"
She pulled him back for another kiss.

Till Death Do Us Part (OumaSai)
Tumblr media
hey hey anon! im totally a-ok with yandere! i tried to maks this somewhat ship-y but it mostly just ended up angsty and one-sided lmfao. soz! also this is like slight nsfw? i mean barely but just in case theres your warning :00
title: till death do us part
summary: He didn’t know how or why he got here, but he was more terrified to find out why he was half naked in Shuichi’s basement. Little did he know that the day before would be his last day of being seen ever again.
word count: 1253
~~ prompt starts after cut! ~~
His eyes slowly had begun to come into focus as the room had started to appear more and more clearer. Where was he? 
The room wasn’t that familiar. It seemed like it was but he couldn’t process it fully. He glanced down and noticed his hands had been bound by rope behind a chair. Immediately, he tried to break free or scream but a scarf seemed to be tied around his lips as well. Tears had threatened to make their way out as the chair shook back and forth. He had no clue where he was or how this had happened. 
Fear had already taken over his entire body, visibly shaking the more he struggled to break free from the knots. It was until he heard a familiar voice that his mind was put more on edge that he had truly begun worrying. “Aha, so you’re awake? Good morning, Kokichi. Or should I say evening?”
It was evening already? Just how long had they kept him here? 
He gave a few muffled cries as the figure emerged from the corner, revealing themselves into the light. His eyes widened. Was he dreaming? That couldn’t be…
“Do you like the scarf? I made it just for you! I even made it checkered, your favorite!" 
The figure was now fully in light. His notion was correct. It was his classmate and former lover, Shuichi Saihara. Kokichi had no clue why he had done this. He thought they had broken up on good terms but he guessed Shuichi believed differently. "Aw, you poor thing. Don’t be so scared, Kokichi. It’s only me, I won’t hurt you.” His smile was sinister yet serene, his words tormenting him the more his ears listened. 
The back of his finger trailed down his cheek soothingly, curling under his dripping tears and under his chin. Kokichi’s mind raced, several thoughts piling one over the other. He needed to get out, and fast. He decided the best way to do that would to comply to whatever Saihara had wanted from him. “You’re all I ever think about. But ever since—Ever since they started hanging out with you, we hadn’t been able to talk much now have we?”
Oh yeah. It was all coming back to him now. He remembered why had broken things off. Miu, Kaito, Kaede, and Maki had all warned him about Shuichi, saying he was unstable and a stalker. They told him to break things off before things got out of hand for his own safety, and he believed them and did so. While he did love Shuichi, he loved his friends more. Kokichi submissively shook his head, which seemed to please Shuichi.
“I miss hearing your sweet, cute voice. You know what? Since you’ve seemed to calm down a bit, I’ll take the scarf off! How’s that sound?” He nodded slowly, his eyes pleading into Shuichi’s which he could physically see him weaken in the knees by. Shuichi removed the scarf from his lips. God his mouth ached.
His cheeks grew heated the more he stared at his captive; oh how lovely rope looked on his skin. He had to restrain himself from eating Kokichi whole. “Is that better? Can you say my name for me? Call me that nickname you like.” He demanded desperately, begging on his knees. Shuichi had his arms wrapped around his waist and around the chair, his hair pressed into his chest with a grin plastered on his lips.
“S-Shumai.”
“There it is! God, Kokichi you’re so, so very…” His arms moved from behind the chair and onto his thighs. His lips kissed Kokichi’s bare skin, licking around the edges of his body that he had missed so much. “Cute.” He lapped all around his skin, Kokichi bit his lip to hold back any noise. He didn’t want Shuichi to have that gratification. “You’re mine, do you understand? You belong to me.” 
His fingers traced up his chest, lightly thumbing over his nipple which caused him to whimper in response. "Y-yes, I understand.”
“Since you’re my pet, why don’t you give master a kiss? It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed one of my Kokichi’s kisses that I think I might just die if I don’t have one.” Shuichi looked up, noticing how flustered Kokichi was already. He looked beautiful. Kidnapping him was such a great idea. Now he can finally have him all to himself without any interruptions. “Yes… Master.”
Shuichi was still on his knees but due to their height difference, he was still able to reach him at eye level no problem, even if he was confined in a chair. Kokichi leaned forward and kissed his captor, trying his hardest to convince himself that Shuichi was still the same loving Shuichi he had known and cared for. A warm tear dripped down his cheek as their lips met. 
Shuichi, having free hands, took the opportunity to wrap his hand against his jaw, inevitably pulling him forward and deepening their kiss. He licked the bottom of his lip and Kokichi didn’t bother to fight back, allowing him to have his way without much force. Shuichi could feel himself getting more and more eager as Kokichi whimpered into their kiss. 
His hands travelled down to Kokichi’s school uniform pants and before he could go any further, Kokichi stopped him. “W-wait.”
“You wouldn’t do anything I wasn’t comfortable with… Right?”
“Right. I love you more than anything else in the world! I would never hurt you.”
“Then, can we wait to do this?” Kokichi knew Shuichi would listen to him, smiling through his anxiousness the more he locked eyes with Saihara. “Of course. We’ll have a lot of time to wait, so don’t worry.”
“W-what do you mean? Shumai… I-I have to go home eventually.”
He immediately regretted saying that sentence as a dark aura replaced Shuichi’s previous one. “This is your home. You’ve been so good till now, my pet. Don’t make me have to punish you…”
Shuichi tightened the scarf around Kokichi’s small neck slightly, not enough to where he couldn’t breathe, but hard enough for it or hurt. “This’ll make us closer, I promise. Just hold still.” The scarf was now pulling at his airway, breathing seemed to be harder and harder the more he tightened it. 
"S-Shumai, I-I c-can’t breathe…”
Shuichi snapped out of it briefly, sighing as he laid his head on Kokichi who had now begun coughing for air. “Say, Kokichi, let’s get married. Right now. So next time they touch what’s mine, I’ll cut their fucking arm off. How does that sound?” He smiled, drifting into his own daydream once more.
Memories had begun burning through his mind. This was no longer Saihara. This wasn’t the person he had fallen for. He finally broke down, crying in agony which had alerted the latter on slightly. But he seemed to mistake his reasoning for crying, “I’m so glad that you agree so much, you’re crying tears of joy. I promise I’ll make you happy, my love.” He squeezed him tighter, his frail body collapsing into the other’s. “Till death do us part.”
He had lost. He had lost to his own friends, lover, and more importantly, to himself. He had no clue how long it would be until he would be alive or see anyone at all, but all he knew was that the love he had felt for Shuichi still harbored in his heart, and that made waking up bound in a chair that much more painful.

Radiant Hearts: KHxStormlight Archive
Okay, so I’ve been trying to get more into cosmere stuff again, but my feels from the ending of KH3 are STILL lingering. So now I feel caught between the two, and instead of just leaning out of one into the other, my mind is going crazy and trying to combine them! So now I have far too many ideas for a Kingdom Hearts x Stormlight Archive crossover AU.
So may I present, from the madness of my mind, the Radiant Hearts AU:
Disclaimer: I don’t have perfect knowledge of the cosmere, nor do I have time to explain all the terms from the Stormlight Archive that I’m going to be throwing around. This is mostly just for fun after all, so keep that in mind.
Sora and Riku were born in northern Alethkar near the coast. They are lighteyes from lower dahns, so they tended to have good relationships with darkeyes. When they were still little they attracted the attention of an Honorspren and a Lightspren. Though nothing much came of it at the time.
Enter Kairi! Waking up on the beach with no memory. She is likely from Jah Keved (Red Hair and Violet-ish eyes), but stays in Alethkar and grows up with Sora and Riku, though she struggles with the safehand rule a bit, she’s not too fond of sleeves and usually opts for gloves instead. She too unwittingly gains the attention of a spren, a Cultivationspren, though like Riku and Sora, nothing comes of it at the time.
The three of then have a plan to explore all of Roshar, so they attempt to build a raft boat to first explore the Reshi Isles. It seemed like a good idea and actually worked out for a bit, until they got hit with a highstorm. They literally get flung apart from each other, each ending up in a different place. Honestly, they should have all died, but they were on the verge of forming bonds, so stormlight kept them alive basically.
They survived, but things were not well. Kairi, though alive, seems to be in a coma. Riku, gets found by a woman named Maleficent (who totally isn’t going to try to manipulate him.) Sora ends up pretty much alone at first.
Determined to find his friends, Sora sets off in search of them. Luckily, he soon gains a companion. Ventus, a lightspren, starts following Sora around. Ven had formed a bond during the Last Desolation, but his radiant passed away, breaking his mind and causing him to “sleep” for a very long time (Think of Syl’s situation.) Ven is a bit slow in regaining himself and he doesn’t remember much, but he supports Sora as much as he can as they go looking for Riku and Kairi. As their journey continues, Sora swears the ideals and becomes a Willshaper. (This is going off the little we know of that order, as they are known for a love of adventure and novelty. I may change this once we learn more ideals.) Sora has uses the Transportation surge to visit Shadesmar in similar fashion to a “Dive to the heart.”
Riku, teamed up with Maleficent, looks for his lost friends and does some errands (Usually involving fighting) for her to repay her for her help. He doesn’t much trust her, but tolerates her enough. The only person he actually confides anything in is a spren, Terra, an Honorspren. Riku had known Terra for a long time, but had always kept him a secret, never mentioning him to Sora or Kairi. Now Riku speaks more often to Terra, who encourages him to progress in hopes that he will find the strength he seeks, to protect the things that matter. Riku is doubtful, however, and Maleficent’s manipulations don’t help.
Soon enough, Kairi is located by Maleficent, still in a coma like state. Riku rushes to rescue her and runs into Sora! At first he’s relieved to see his friend again, but that soon turns to jealousy as Riku sees that Sora has made new friends AND has sworn enough ideals to summon a shardblade. Riku feels like a failure; he was supposed to be the one who protected his friends, yet he was weaker than Sora? This jealousy combined with the manipulation from Maleficent leads Riku to abandon Sora, essentially betraying his Oaths. This isn’t enough to break Riku’s bond with Terra, but Terra refuses to speak to Riku anymore. Now Riku was really alone.
Things then turn to a conflict between Sora and Riku over protecting Kairi. Riku gets a shardblade from Maleficent, and (Ignoring the screaming from the blade), precedes in his quest to wake Kairi, taking her to the Nightwatcher. Sora follows him, determined to save Kairi, and there he fights Riku. Sora, a Knight Radiant at this point, should have easily won, but he expended all of his stormlight protecting Kairi and was about to fall to Riku. And then... Kairi awakens. 
The Nightwatcher had blessed Kairi so that she might be able to awaken, but her curse was not yet known. Kairi quickly takes to stopping the fight between the boys, she succeeds for the most part, but Riku flees, his heart still overcome with jealousy.
Reunited, Sora finds a group to take Kairi home. She begs to come with him, but he insists that he wants her safe. She relents and journeys home, just in time for her curse to start taking effect! Her awakening allowed her to reunite with Sora, but her curse starts to slowly erase her memories of Sora! She realizes this is happening and desperately clings to every scrap of memory of him she can. 
Meanwhile, Sora finds himself in his search for Riku at a strange castle-like place. There he meets Naminé, who lies and does some slightly traumatic things to Sora in the name of her Brightlord, resulting in him falling in a coma (which seems to happen a lot in KH). Riku, who is being lead back towards the path of honor by a friend he made, Mickey, finds and kills said Brightlord to try and save Sora. Naminé, regretting what she had been forced to do, works with Riku to try and find a way to awaken Sora. Her seeking redemption and her previous affinity for lies attracts a Cryptic, who becomes her spren and she becomes a Lightweaver. Her spren took a liking to impersonating Riku, thus Naminé calls her spren Repliku (Replica Riku).
Meanwhile, a boy named Roxas is seeking the truth about himself. He’s done some pretty shady work in the past (possibly directly or indirectly for the Diagram) as part of an Organization. He made friends with a man named Axel, whom he worked with a lot. Roxas didn’t remember his past, but sought out the truth about himself and about other things. His seeking lead to him attracting a spren, Xion, appearing like light reflected off of a mirror. Roxas and Xion bonded as friends fairly easily, both didn’t remember much and wanted to learn more. Roxas kept their bond a secret, only telling Axel, whom Xion had taken a liking to. Roxas eventually became a Truthwatcher.
Yet things weren’t meant to be. The more Xion remembered, the more she began to feel that bonding Roxas had been a mistake. Yet there wasn’t much she could do. Breaking a bond wasn’t easy and would likely result in one or both of them being hurt/killed. She thought it was the right thing to do though, and sought a way to free Roxas of her. In the end, both of them disappeared. Axel, saddened at loosing his friends, sought a way that he might bring them back.
As Axel searched, Kairi remembered. Her curse had stripped away from her mind much about Sora, including his name, but she still remembered him. After waiting around, she decided to try and go find the boy she remembered. The spren that had been watching her all this time, Aqua, a Cultivationspren, began to act. Soon, Kairi spoke this ideal: “I will remember those who have been forgotten,” vowing to remember Sora and becoming an Edgedancer.
With Naminé‘s help, Sora awoke and set off once again to find Riku. He dealt with the shady people Roxas had been working for, an Organization that worked for the Diagram, in the meantime. Riku, seeking his own redemption, helps Sora from the shadows with Mickey. Slowly, Terra returns to Riku’s side and he swears an Ideal to protect the things that matter, making him a Windrunner. Good thing too, as Kairi, gung-ho about rescuing her boys, gets herself trapped. Riku helps her escape and they return to Sora’s side to finish off the organization and return home.
Axel, having escaped the organization’s destruction, had witnessed the power of the Knights Radiant. Figuring that Roxas must have been one, Axel decided that the best way to save a Radiant was to be a Radiant. So he finds a Radiant to become a squire to, a Dustbringer specifically.
Now, before this all had happened, Terra, Aqua, and Ven had been friends in Shadesmar. The unlikely trio of an Honorspren, Cultivationspren, and Lightspren had loved to spend time together. Aqua would grow good-luck charms for them. Terra was the first of them to move into the physical realm to bond with Riku. Ven soon followed after. Aqua, chasing after her boys, hadn’t hesitated to follow. At first, Aqua had considered bonding to Sora, but decided against it and later bonded to Kairi. When Sora, Riku,and Kairi reunited, Ven, Terra, and Aqua reunited.
Well, I guess that’s all I’ve got for this AU for now, aha. I wrote quite a lot. I guess I do have more I could say on why I chose certain orders for certain people, but I decided against doing that here in favor of a more story based organization. Still, we have more to learn about the Knights Radiant, so I may change this in the future, for now, thanks for reading!
