TW: messy crazy bs

(A/N: this series randomly returns because I just needed to get this idea out of my system for good. This might be the conclusion to it, but probably not... well, maybe you send me some ideas to where this could lead up to.)

"I'll get going."

Bomi kisses your cheek, that sore cheek, sore like every patch of your skin, every bone in your body and every damn muscle, some of them you didn't even know could hurt before today. Hell, you don't even have the strength to give Bomi a proper goodbye, a weak wave is all you can muster up.

She'll not be mad at you. For what might have been either 15 or 150 minutes, you have taken turns on her and Shuhua's pussy—licking, fingering, fucking them until those tight caverns each got a big load in them. In the meantime, Minju has been their plaything. Especially Shuhua has this cruelty towards her "friend", edging her with fingers, reddening her thighs with extremely hard slaps and always promising that she'll get your cock—just to claim you with her pussy again.

You turn around when Bomi closes the door. Shuhua and Minju wrestle on the couch, the latter clearly outmatched when Shuhua puts her in a headlock with her thunder thighs. Minju tries to escape with licks on Shuhua's clit but can't find it—the nightmare of so many guys.

"Cut it out, you two," you groan, fingers on your temple. 

"N-no," Minju whines. "Minju still needs cock, wants cum in her tummy!"

"I can't." Point at your limp dick, absolutely spent. "And I have a headache. At this point, I’ll start to hate sex. Fucking hell, I'll make myself tea."

"Oh, I have an idea," Shuhua smirks and reaches for her phone while you leave for the kitchen. Whatever it is, you don’t want to deal with it. You need something relaxing, something herbal, to heal all the soreness in your body. It’s incredible to think that there is something like too much sex. You’re really close to giving up on it, even though two nymphomaniacs have turned your house into sex hub.

“No, no, stay down. You’ll get cock soon,” you hear Shuhua belittle Minju, who just whines in her usual tone. She seems to not be a bit tired after all this.

“Well, it won’t be mine,” you shout back, watching the hot water fill your cup and turn the leaves into something magical.

“Yeah, I know, you’re basically useless at this point.” Ouch, that stings. “That’s why I called back up.”

“You what?!”

“They should be here any minute now.”

Shuhua is spot on. Before your tea is finished steeping, your door bursts open. But instead of a hung man, two rather petite women enter your house. Both have a bored look on their face and immediately get to undressing. Overcoats seem to be the shit right now, and no matter who comes through your front door, they always drop it on the floor. 

“Uhm, hello?” you carefully greet them before remembering that this is your home, your kingdom! You can’t let strangers just walk in like they own the place. “This is kinda rude, you know?”

“Don’t care,” says the taller one with long, raven hair, dressed only in jeans. “We have business to do. Also, it’s rude to just stand there, naked, while two ladies walk in.” You blush and hide your crotch with the tea cup.

“We aren’t ladies, stop kidding yourself,” the other snarks back, while climbing out of her skirt. “I bet he is a good fuck, you shouldn’t kill your chances already.”

“Eh, I’ll think about it, but first—” Both girls suddenly pull out two strap-ons from God-knows-where and put them on with the casualness one would wear a fricking hat. The taller one hasn’t even removed her jeans, wearing the harness over it, while the other is fully naked and flaunts her butt at you.

“Yeah, I know, we got shit to do.” The short haired girl slaps her butt and you almost drop the cup when she walks past you with a wink. “Shuhua, where is this needy bitch? Or are you the needy bitch?”

“Oh, it’s so nice to see you, Eunbi and Eunbi,” Shuhua greets them and points at Minju, still trapped in between her fat thighs. “Look who I found.”

“She is insatiable. Incredible that he can still stand,” the shorter Eunbi says.

“Hm, maybe he is a good fuck. Anyways, we’ll try our best to keep her down,” the taller Eunbi says. The three conspirators try to agree on a strategy on how to fuck the angelic girl. You’ve become invisible in your own house, your entry to the living room goes largely unnoticed. Except for Minju who pouts at you when the two Eunbis lift her up and put her in a doggy position. The shorter one is below her, the other is ready to press the plastic cock into Minju’s puckered hole.

"Should we do it at the—nevermind, you're already in." The small Eunbi groans in annoyance, the other looks unapologetic and starts to rut slowly against Minju's butt. The long shaft forcing open Minju’s hole, paired with the denim on her sore, pink buttocks, must feel incredible and incredibly painful at the same time. Who knows which of the two makes Minju wail and moan more.

"Come on, Eunha, shove it in her sex," Shuhua urges on the Eunbi below as she excitedly stares at the unholy sight of fake cocks on ready holes. Her eyes mimic the camera lens for a porn shoot, while you're the director, watching the scene play out. Either way, it's good content.

"Minju's pussy, Minju's ass, so full!" Minju is loud, louder than before. Shuhua is having none of it.

"Shut up. SinB, make her stay quiet. And don't let her cum."

Two hands move to cover Minju's mouth, two cocks move in and out at a rapid pace, two sets of eyes watch on in awe. Satisfied with what crazy madness she has come up with, Shuhua sits down next to you and lazily jerks your cock with two fingers. Oh, that victorious smile, glassy, lewd eyes, you'd love to wipe it off her face.

"You like what you see? Now you don't have to do anything anymore."

"What was that about me being useless?" Grab her by the throat and spit in her face. She looks pissed, you love it. "I came in you, even when Minju was willing to do anything to get my load and now you're still cruel to her? Seems mildly unfair."

"And what are you gonna do about it? Fuck her, if you can."

Shuhua is bratty, but just as much as she is bratty, she is also light. You easily place her nude frame on your thigh, her still dripping, creaming heat right on your skin. She hisses and you tighten your grip on her throat.

"I'm going to make you cum—you know I can, it's super easy—but only if you tell those two friends of yours to make Minju cum until she passes out.”

“Fuck, bastard,” Shuhua hisses. With your thumb on her clit, this is easily the quietest and tamest she has been for hours. Her body twitches, an honest reaction to how much she is addicted to the mind-blowing orgasms you can get out of her. Such a small finger, yet she is squirming, contemplating, faltering.

“Those two are so cruel,” you tell Shuhua, nose deep in her greasy hair. “They fuck her so hard, just to pull out at the last moment. Why do you want to torture Minju so bad?”

“Be-because she needs to get to the-the point.”

“What point?”

“The point where sex is no fun. She can go forever. She will never stop, your—fuck—plan to make her p-pass out, useless.”

This explains a lot. The Angel is insatiable, her lust seems infinite, but Shuhua’s plan—won’t it make things worse? At some point, SinB and Eunha will have to stop and Minju will be more desperate than ever. She will wobble through the house, tackle you the second she sees you and will force your cock in her pussy no matter what. A true tragedy.

“Well, I don’t care,” you say and tug at one of Shuhua’s nipples, she bites her fingers. “You’ve been too greedy, time for her to—”

“Fuck, fine.

“SinB, don’t hold back. Eunha, suck her tits, overstimulate this bitch!���

“What?” the two ask in unison and disbelief.

“Do-don’t ask questions, please, just do it!”

The way the two purple plastic cocks move in and out of Minju with the sole goal of too much pleasure has you satisfied and in a new heat, your cock hardening slowly but surely. With an ever increasing rhythm, you move your thigh up and down and Shuhua starts to ride, her loudness increasing again. She is as close as Minju and it only takes SinB pulling those messed up oak strands, you to rub Shuhua’s clit, for them both to explode. 

You focus not on Shuhua shuddering, shaking on you, but at Minju’s expression. Her eyes jump wide, then tears shoot out and flow down, just to be blocked by SinB’s hands on her mouth. She’d be so loud, words messier than her hair would fill the room. After this peak, both collapse. Shuhua meets the floor, Minju falls on top of Eunha, who still thrusts, even spanks the Angel’s ass. 

You’re hard again. Where is this going to end?

Hey so i saw a tiktok the other day and inspired me to write a little sort of microfic

So here it goes

(also in my mind reg is a cat animagus, that is how this prompt in my idea makes sense, also that's how he managed to hide from sirius)

Black brother estrangement angst fanfic idea

(I know it is a stupid name, but like i don't have a title)

Remus: "Why don't you just tell him? I mean I get it, but you can't hide this forever."

Regulus averted his eyes and sighed: "Maybe not forever but I'll put it off as long as I need to."

Remus: "That's consistent of you but you have to admit this is absurd. Surely you have missed him? Can't you put your resentment aside?"

Regulus: "It isn't my resentment I'm afraid of. He'll be angry with me I know it."

Remus: "Ok maybe he will be later and you'll talk about it, but i think it would make him an asshole if he started a fight right away with his long lost brother who he believed to be dead for years. I'm just saying it might not be as bad as you fear."

Regulus seemed lost in thought and for a moment Remus thought he wouldn't answer. To the untrained eye, his hesitence could seem like a consideration of what he had just been told, but Remus knew better: "No it will be. Sirius is nothing if not dramatic. And our problems aside I knew he cared. I think he'd expect me to come to him for help despite everything we had going on at the time. I know he'd help me. Or at least... I want to believe that he would. It must have hurt him that I didn't and then I allegedly died and now, I hate that I went about it this way but at the time... I was spiteful. I resented him for leaving me alone there... And I know that its selfish and I know that it was sadistic to expect him to take the abuse, and he knew it too. We fought a lot back then, I hated it. When he looked at me like, like- I was them and I was just as cruel and evil as our parents I just... I could see that he resented me and he was angry and maybe he even hated me I... I could never say the right thing. I always said I hated him right back and pushed him away when all I really wanted was him and now... I think its too late. He's better off without all this emotional baggage bullshit. Maybe I deserve this.

Remus could see through Regulus' avoidant bullshit a mile away but he was pretty sure Regulus could see it too. That means he must have truly believed it. So he decided to leave the topic and approach it later, he knew that Regulus felt trapped under what he interpreted as interrogation of any kind. So he turned back to leave the kitchen to leave Regulus alone with his thoughts when he saw him- this absolutely stunning man that was Regulus' brother. He had such beautiful eyes, a deeper shade than Reg's and the way he carried himself and dressed was absolutely divine. Remus was lost in thought and fully staring now and a small part of him was worried that he was gonna be caught but the object of his desires seemed to be rather occupied at the moment. He was just about to think what could he be looking at this dumbstruck when he realized, wait, Regulus' BROTHER?!

Remus: Uhm hey Reg, I think you have put it off as long as you could; this is it.

This is like the first cohesive thing I have ever written and English isn't my first language (don't get ur hopes up hehe) so pls be kind

Anyway yea this is it. Should i go on with it?Also here is an extra little dialogue although i don't know if id incorprate it in here somewhere:

S: I don't want to lose you again

R: I don't want to lose you at all

S: Yea no I don't reccomend it.

...

S: Just... if you go and don't come back... I will never be able to forgive you and I will miss you... I'll just be miserable. Please don't do that to me. Don't evade me. Not this time.

R: Ok

Saiwa's Therapy Game - Part 2 It starts -> here

Saiwa is still torn. Shall he stay as the Captain of the Sea Urchin or leave and follow his own path? Staying would mean he'd have to deal with all the stuff he ran away from and he has the feeling he's not strong enough for this right now. He sighed and delayed his decision and started the inventory list for the Vicegerent. It's still quite tempting to stay as the Pirate Captain. But what he wants and what he needs are two different pairs of pirate boots.

Saiwa finished the list by noon and stepped out in the bright afternoon, where the Vicegerent already waited for him. Saiwa guesses the Vicegerent will have the final say if he can leave or not. He might need some time to find a new Captain for the Sea Urchin.

Oh, it's NPC Wesley! (TMI: Wesley is Vlad's first love and partner of Vlad's arch enemy Leander ^^' but the other Boys like them.) Vicegerent Wesley: "That was your best tour so far. Amazing Job! I'll get your wage ready and we meet in the 'Salty Mermaid' later! If you keep it up like that you'll soon be more wealthy than I am haha!" (I have no idea why there is a carrot lying on that bollard ^^')

Captain Duath (=Saiwa): "Erm, about keeping it up. I'd like to take a break to - uhm - sort a few things out..." Vicegerent Kareem (=Wesley): "Sure, my friend. Take all the time you need. Captain Whittaker was pestering me for months now to get his own ship. He is raring to take over, don't worry." Captain Whittaker? The ghost dog from 'The Irish Rover'? Captain Duath: "Ah - thank you. I guess..." Does Helm Satureja look worried or relieved? Saiwa was relieved. He didn't think it would be that easy. But easily being replaced by a dog was a bit...

Captain Duath took a walk around Bacalao Bay before he entered the 'Salty Mermaid'. The others all already there.

Oh no! The piano player is NPC Jeb! Saiwa wasn't prepared for this. He tries to remind himself that this is just a game and that this Jeb is just a NPC Tiny Can created for his therapy. Probably an idea from the Little Goats... And after the experiences of the others, NPC Jeb shouldn't even know him. But he really isn't ready to face any version of Jeb. He should have waited with his Therapy Game. No matter what the others said and how well their therapy went... How the crew's expectantly eying him hahaha

Best he avoids Jeb and leaves after he said goodbye to his crew. But Saiwa made the calculation without the permanent flirty First Mate Guidry. (TMI: Claude René Duplantier Guidry has a quite interesting -> background story) First Mate Guidry: "Hey Captain! Isn't the new piano man amazing? You should meet him. I'll call him over. You will like him, he's hot and handsome! Look at his muscles. Ah, he's a sight to see!" Captain Duath: "Uhm, that's not necessary. Let him play. I just came in to say goodbye and leave before dawn."

First Mate Guidry: "Hey Jeb, come over and meet our Captain! He's hot and handsome!" Oh no, what to do? What to do???

Ok new plan, just say ahoy and then leave. NPC Jeb seems to be just as nervous as Saiwa. And for a few (too many and too long) seconds, none of them said a word. Until NPC Jeb blurted out: "You're utterly beautiful." (Hahaha the crews faces!)

First Mate Guidry: "Ayayay Jeb! That's not how you greet our fierce and ruthless Captain..." Jeb: "I'm so sorry." Guidry and Kili started to teach Jeb how to make a better first impression and Saiwa took the cue to take his leave. Captain Duath: "I'm leaving guys. See you again next time around!"

But Jeb followed him. Saiwa will have a word or two with Tiny Can when he's back! Jeb: "When will I see you again?" Saiwa: "Eh, I have to sort a few things out - for a while." Jeb: "Where are you going?" Saiwa: "Far, far away."

Ach. Saiwa's heart became heavy and to make matters worse, it started to rain.

Saiwa didn't know what to say to him. He can't stay here with Jeb. He needs time for himself. Even if it's only here in the game. No responsibilities, no sorrows. Only caring for himself and find out what he could be without his burdens.

But Jeb didn't want to let Saiwa go and asked again where he's going to. That was when a song came to Saiwa's mind and he told Jeb he could find him where the Blarney Roses grow. He couldn't look him in the eyes, though. (I don't know if you're familiar with the word 'blarney' (I wasn't ^^') it means: deceptive or misleading talk. There is a quite interesting story about the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle -> here. I first thought it was a hoax but it seems to exist haha) Jeb gathered all his courage: "I will find you there. I promise. Let's seal it with a kiss." Saiwa is utterly sure that Jeb will never find him so he gave in. Jeb kissed Saiwa chastely on his cheek. Aouwww. Saiwa is melting away and Jeb's kiss almost made him change his mind. But after all these years as the Boys' leader it's part of his flesh and blood to put his mission over his emotions. (Like he did when he started that damn fake relationship with Kiyoshi that teared them all apart - and brought him here...)

The Dead Man and his chest are watching them :3 It's a while ago he saw something so annoyingly sweet here at Bacalao Bay ^^'

And then Captain Duath left. And he took Jeb's heart with him.

Saiwa bought this little dinghy thing from his share. Let's hope it takes him far enough from everything so he can heal ö.Ö'

'There's roses in Killarney and there's some in County Clare But upon my word, the roses, lads, I can't find anywhere She blarneyed me for by the power, she left me broke, you know Did the damsel that belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow

Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow? It might be down in Limerick town, it might be in Mayo It's somewhere in the Emerald Isle and this I want to know Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow?'

Blarney Roses by The Willoughby Brothers (TMI: I only knew this live version from Fiddlers Green but I just found this one on youtube and it's so amazingly sung by these 6 brothers(!). Both videos have not many likes but this song is so beautiful. One of my favourite irish songs for sure.) Link to spotify below is yet another version from Fiddlers Green from their 25 years anniversary album (from 2015 omg ö.ö) ^^'

Authors note: It's honestly SO embarrassing that I'm posting this now LMAOAOAOA.

Uhm. I'm sorry. I hope you guys enjoy and leave some nice comments or feedback or anything tbh. And send me an ask, or comment below to be added to the tag list.

____________________________________________

Are you sure?” My uncle asks sceptically.

“Yes I'm sure.” I tell him firmly. 

This is the 10th time he's asked me this question today alone. What's a therapist gonna do? Besides, I'm sick of him pretending to care. 

“Uncle, I'm not really sure why you're so insistent on this. Is it because the press is outside? They want to interview you?”

It's a sharp dig at him and I know it. He's never cared about his own brother, never visited.

He scowls at me, “Careful, might I have to remind you that it isn't your father that's taking care of you, putting you in the best room with the best doctors.”

I glare at him as he walks away from the room. Well atleast the pathetic nice act is gone. 

Kyungsoo enters my room soon again, throwing a careful glance at my uncle. He was a big shot after all. With his more than successful firm.

“You good?” He asks.

“Yeah, um I think I'll just go for a walk.” I tell him rather shortly.

“Sure.” He says quietly, probably assuming I had an argument.

But truth be told, I'm avoiding him. I'm getting attached to someone who's just tolerating me for their job. It's not his fault I know but I can't get attached to those who won't stay once I'm up and gone. 

My mind goes to Jay for a tiny second. Hm. Maybe I should talk to a therapist. The dreams stopped for two days and usually I would be overjoyed at the idea of not just one but two full nights rest.

But I woke up feeling uneasy, I made a promise to Jay, someone who exists only in my head. But I made a promise nevertheless. 

There are so many things I want to ask him, so many. 

Why do I have no dreams? Why is it that I only ever have a blackout or nightmares?

Why is he saving me? 

I know I shouldn't, but my curiosity has gotten the better of me. I look down at my fisted hands and open them. There are two sleeping pills, I stole it from a nurse's bag when she wasn't looking. 

Sleeping pills and I aren't the best of friends. Sure they help me not have a meltdown from not being able to sleep for almost 20 hours but they also give me the worst types of nightmares.   Which right now happens to be something that I need. 

“Goodnight.”Kyungsoo tries to smile at me.

I meekly smile back , eager to down the pills and meet the one person who actually wants me to stay.

_________________________________________

The pills go down my throat ten minutes later. The small light creates a shadow of me in front.  The shadows shift, turning and twisting and I watch fascinated as they give a performance for me. 

I'm not afraid, a part of my brain thinks. What are the shadows going to do? They've been with me forever. Taunting me, trying to manipulate me. I've never given into any of their tricks. I've never trusted them. 

But when I'm all alone now, in a tiny closet peeking out from the hole and watching the shadows linger my heart picks up its beat. 

They come and they disappear again and again. I look through the tiny peep the closet gives and realise soon as they go behind every nook and creek that they are looking for none other than me. 

 

My hands reach out to clasp my mouth shut. My body folds itself as small as it can possibly go. Will the shadows think to look here too?

I shut my eyes forcefully. My other senses heightened until I could feel everything around me. The musty smell of the closet, my fingernails digging into themselves.  My feet numb, paralyzed. 

My breathing becomes slower, my arms start to unclench. I think they're gone. I think I can get out now. Escape to a place where they can't catch me. 

Before I know it, before I can even pull my hands away from myself. There's a strange hiss that comes inches away from me. A hand grabs my ankle and pulls me hard enough that I don't have time to scream. 

My head bangs against the hard wooden doors as I'm being pulled away. The impact is so hard that I can only clutch my head and groan as the hands keep pulling me away, dragging me on the rough wooden floors.

The splinters catch on clothes and skin. My chin is bleeding, but I can't even stop. Can't even catch a hold of myself as I try to catch myself breathlessly.  

There's a sharp turn to the right, and that's when I know that the shadows aren't just pulling me along aimlessly , they have a destination in mind. 

My eyes scan around desperately trying to catch hold of something to stop. 

Just then, a hand- a solid, real and warm hand catches me. A sudden stop to the journey. 

I know who it is before I can even look up. I clasp my hands with his. The shadows aren't pleased, they hiss and linger around My ankles. 

But when his hand keeps tugging me in, the shadows start to dissolve, materialise into nothing, losing their power. 

Jay's hands pull me again, even when the shadows disappear, he doesn't let go and I don't either.

When I gain a little strength into my limbs I finally pull away from the embrace. I look into his eyes, they are wide and scared, maybe even more than mine.

“Thank yo-”

“Why didn't you come?? You made a promise and you leave me all alone here?!” Jay yells angrily.

I pull away completely.  I was happy to finally see him again, but seeing his bloodshot face. The look of absolute rage in his eyes makes me stop. Brings the familiar uneasy feeling back into my stomach. 

“I'm sorry.” I mumble.

Jay looks at my crestfallen face, and immediately his face softens. 

“I’m sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. I was just scared you left forever.” He says softly, “You're hurt a lot this time. Come here, let's clean you up.” 

He rips off a piece of his sleeves and starts dabbing it on my wounds.

His reassuring words don't chase away the moths in my stomach. 

“Jay..do you think I should see a therapist?”

Jay frowns at my words, “A therapist? What's that?” He asks curiously. 

“Umm. It's someone who helps you with your problems, like stress, anxiety…nightmares.”

Jay stiffens upon that. His hand paused on my chin. 

“But why…? I can save you. I save you every time.”

I shake my head,

“I can save you again, you won't even have to get hurt next time. Just trust me. That's all you need to do!”

I take his hands in mine, his eyes are trembling, 

“What happens when you can't?”

“..what”

“What happens when one day you can't save me? I can wake up, but what about you? What if something happens to you instead?” 

He shakes his head intently, “I don't care, I only exist because of you. If you're gone, then I'm alone again, I have no purpose.”

I stay silent at that, avoiding his eyes. 

The world around me seems to shift again, faster than it did before. 

“I think I'm waking up now.”

“Yeah.”

“Can't you…can't you appear in my dreams too? Not just nightmares?”

“I don't know.”

I can feel my resolve slipping at the sight of his tired face. He looks my age, but at this moment his face seems to have gone through a millenia worth of sadness. 

“I'll come back okay?” 

Jay just nodded. His fingers slip away from mine as he watches me disappear again. I never stay for long. He wonders whether it's because I can't or I don't want to. 

Jay fidgets with his fingers even after I'm gone. 

He thinks long and hard about how he could make me stay. Every time I've left, it's only because he saved me.

What happens when he makes me believe that she can't escape the nightmare anymore?

Destined To Meet You.

1 - The Enchanted Forest | Where are we? - Paimon

Previous > m.list > next

Groups POV :

"Wh-What the heck?!" Paimon yells, "Augh.." Lumine groans as she rubs her head, "Lumine, you okay?" Aether asks, "Yep, perfect fine." Lumine replies, "Woah.." Paimon says mesmerized, "What a beautiful forest!" Paimon exclaims, "Is this still.. Teyvat?" Aether asks, "Uhh no.. I don't think so." Tighnari replies uncertain while looking around, "But the flowers are very pretty." Tighnari adds to his sentence, "I agree! But, how did we get here?" Paimon asks, "I think it might be my fault.." Aether claims, "How so?" Xiao asks, "Well, I touched some plant type thing at the lake, it doesn't look like it was from Teyvat, so I wanted to examine it closer." Aether explains, Xiao says nothing but sighs, "So.. How do we get back to Teyvat?" Paimon asks, Lumine shrugs, "For me and Aether this is pretty normal. We travel to different universes, so I guess we can find out?" Lumine asks, "Right.. Well, let's walk, maybe we can find someone and ask some directions." Aether suggests, "Good idea! Let's goo!" Paimon says excitedly,

Your POV :

Your ears perked up to the sound of distinct voices and leaves rustling, you turn to the direction where the sound is. You quickly turn into your kitsune form and rush to where the sound is coming from, of course. As the responsibility of the leader, and the leader of the forest, you need to protect it. You saw two blonde haired people, with someone with ash white hair, however they were.. Floating? You sensed that someone was fully alerted of your presence. You prepared to change to your half human half kitsune form, possibly using your mask. "Let's goo!" You heard a high pitched voice said, they walked in the forest, but you decided to observe them for now.

-

"Uhh.. So far we just saw some foxes." Paimon says, "Do you think we'll find someone?" Paimon asks, "Don't give up yet, Paimon! I'm sure we'll find someone." Aether says trying to in courage her, Tighnari's ears flicked, "Something wrong, Tighnari?" Cyno asks, "If someone is there, please come out." Tighnari says glaring at his surroundings, he heard someone sigh, "You caught me." You say standing up, "Is there something you need?" You say crossing your arms glaring at the group, "Uh.. Uh! Well.. We just w-want to know how do we get out of here and.. Stuff." Paimon says nervously, "I suggest you don't go to that direction, unless your asking for death." You say walking in front of the group, "You know this forest well, don't you?" A stern voice said, "I do. I grew up here." You reply looking at them, "Uhm.. Why can't we continue going straight..?" Paimon asks nervously, "Do you want to have a life long battle?" You ask, Paimon shakes her head, you sigh, "Follow me." You say, "How do we know we can trust you?" Xiao asks, "Because I own this land." You say, "I wouldn't do anything to it, I wouldn't even hurt the people who step foot in this area." You say, "Wait wait, so you're basically a god?!" Paimon asks shocked, "A.. God? No no, don't misunderstand. I'm just a leader, I can be replaced." You explain, "Can.. Can you explain?" Paimon asks, "Can I first lead you guys to a safer place? There's a chance one of the kitsunes attack." You say, "Kitsunes?" Lumine asks, "I'll save the explaining for later. Follow me." You say as you walk to your camp.

-

Once you've all arrived, you went towards the fire, "Take a seat. Care for some tea?" You ask, "Oo me please!" Lumine says, "I'll take you up on that offers." Aether says, you nod, "Alright, before I explain, please introduce yourselves and tell me how you all got here. You all don't look like kitsunes.." You say, "Uh well, Paimon is Paimon!" She introduces herself, "I'm Lumine, this is my twin brother, Aether." She introduces herself and her brother, you nod as you give the twins their cup of teas. "Tighnari." He says, "My name is Cyno.", he introduces himself as well, "I don't care, call me anything you'd like." Wanderer says, "Don't tell me that. I need a specific name." You said, "I said I don't care. But if it's necessary, call me Wanderer." Wanderer says, "Adeptus Xiao, or call me Xiao." He says, "Great, nice to meet you all. I'm [name], an Umi Kitsune." You say sitting down, "Alright, any questions?" You ask, "Yes, me. Where are we?!" Paimon asks, "You're in the enchanted forest."You say, "Enchanted.. Forest?" Paimon asks confusingly, "Yes, an enchanted forest. I don't know why the creator named it that way, but they did. And it's something it should be heavily respected." You say, "Oh okay.. But if there's a creator how do you own this land?" Paimon asks, "The creator of this land died, and from what I heard, the last Umi Kitsune will have the responsibility of controlling this land. Well, the last Umi Kitsune from the Umi clan, as known as the Umi's who fight in battle. I got the responsibility of controlling this land, I tried it for myself and.. The foxes did listen to whatever I said, I tried it on a kitsune and it worked. It's like I'm their leader, though I didn't want it. It was just given to me by force." You say, "Oh [name].." Paimon says sorrowfully, "It's okay. Don't worry." You say trying to reassure Paimon, "How old are you?" Xiao asks, "That's a strange question. But I'm 2,000 years old." You say, "You're so young..?" Xiao says, "How do you already have this much responsibilities?" Xiao asks, "It's inevitable, honestly. I never asked for this but I was born in the Umi family, and I was a relative of the Umi leader." You explain, Xiao sighs and looks at you in pity, then suddenly, you feel to little arms wrap around you, you looked to the side with your eyes to see Paimon hugging you, "Wahh! [Name]! We'll help you in anyway possible, and for how long we can!" Paimon says, you slightly smile, "Thank you, Paimon." You say happy, you heard Paimon sniff and let go of you. "You know, Paimon.. I'm just a stranger and you already trust me, enough to help me?" You say, Paimon nods, "Thank you, I'm glad.." You say quietly, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but, can we know what happened to your backstory?" Tighnari asks, you take a deep breath, "To summarize it up, my parents died in war when I died, then my brother died in war as well, then, when my brother died, my cousin invited me in a meeting or some sort, and I met other leaders of other kitsune clans. Then, she offered me to become a leader, of course, I accepted, because I could only trust myself. Then.. They had a plan, because there's a killer roaming around this place, then I don't remember the others.. I remember blacking out and waking up to.. My cousins dead body, and the other kitsune leaders bodies. I don't know what happened, but, I think I'm heavily associated with it." You confess, "You're.. Heavily associated with it? How so?" Xiao asks, "When I woke up, I saw some scrolls, I read them and.. Well, here." You say as you summon the scrolls for the group to read, "This was my cousins scroll. The most important one." You say, the scroll says :

"This scroll acts like my final words to you, [name]. I know you don't want to know this, but, your power is extremely dangerous, it's something you unfortunately cannot control, even any amount of training, you can never master it. However, you can at least try, you can may find a way to control that power, because you have mastered multiple powers even I cannot. I believe in you, [name]. In any no way do I blame you for us dying, it is your power that did it. It was controlling your body, but it's not you. I love you so much, [name]. Thank you for accepting my offer of being the leader."

That is the end of the scroll. "Done reading?" You ask, Lumine and Aether nods, "So you.. Killed them.." Paimon says sorrowfully, "I think so. But I have no memory." You say, "Take the time to sink in the information. I'll go hunting for some food for the night." You say walking off.

Groups POV :

The group was silent, the only sound is water running, occasional rustling, and birds chirping. The water running came from Aether washing the cups you gave to the twins for some tea, "S-so! [Name's] really nice huh.." Paimon says awkwardly trying to brighten things up, "Sure.. Yeah." Tighnari says uncertain, "C'mon guys, [name] is really kind!" Lumine says, "Sure, but we don't know. [Name] has a power that can kill all of us." Xiao says, "Yeah, but it's not her. She says she has no memory of it!" Lumine says trying to make Xiao believe her, Xiao sighs, "Plus, she'll tell us in advanced. She said so herself." Lumine adds, "That is true. Xiao, give it a break. So far [name] has given us shelter, and a place to sleep in. Look, she even went out to get food for us." Aether says as he wipes his hands on a towel, "You don't have to lower your guard, I'm just saying be a little more chill with [name]." Aether adds to his sentence as he pats Xiao's shoulder, "Yeah! Let's trust her for now." Paimon says, "..Fine." Xiao says in defeat.

Your POV :

As you're running around trying to find some luck for meat, you stumble upon a kitsune, though, not a normal kitsune, an Umi Kitsune, you transform to your human-kitsune form, and the other kitsune gets alerted and runs away, you sigh "I guess there's still hope for us Umi's." You mumble, you heard a rustle, and there you saw another kitsune, but rather, a kitsune that kills other kitsunes, however, fortunately for you, Umi's are their great fears. And though they can change into a human form, you can do it. You charge at the kitsune, scythe at your hand preparing to stab. Then, the kitsune blocked your scythe causing you to charge back, yes, it was expected as you were in plain sight. So you ran towards it, slashing your blade left to right, as well as up and down. For you, it was easy to read it's attacking powers, so you killed it in an instant. You knelt down to cut it's body to pieces, yes, this may seem as cannibalism, but how are you supposed to eat? The birds aren't reachable, and the other animals you're supposed to be hunting is in the enemies territory, even other kitsunes kill each other in the same clan to survive.

-

"[Name]! You're back!" Paimon calls, "W-woah! You have blood all over you!" Paimon says, "Hm? Oh don't worry. It's not mine. I'll be right back, I'll cook the meat." You say, "How do you say the so casually.." Paimon says, "I wanna help!" Lumine says as she follows you, you only nod and look behind you, "[Name] can be pretty cold though." Paimon says, "Yeah, I guess that's normal for this world." Aether says as he sits down, "But you can't lie, [name] is really beautiful." Aether says, Tighnari chuckles, "I heavily agree with that." Tighnari agrees, "Yes! I want to pet her ears.. And when she led us to the camp her tail was swaying.. I wanted to hug it!" Paimon squeals, "If you wanted to pet it so badly why didn't you?" You say behind Paimon, "Wahhh! How did you get here?!" Paimon says frightened, "Simply because I'm done? Lumine says she'll handle everything." You explain, "If you want to touch my ears or tail you're free to do so." You say, "Really?!" Paimon says as her eyes light up, "Go ahead." You say as you tilt your head to her. Paimon didn't hesitate and rub your ears. "Look at this!" Lumine says behind you, "Ah, you're finished." you say looking behind you, "The meat looks good." You say, "Need a hand?" You ask, Lumine shakes her head and smiles, "Eat up everyone!" Lumine says as she raises the plate with meat, Lumine places down the plate and Aether places the plates and utensils, they all sat down and Lumine gave everyone each portion, "Not gonna eat [name]?" Lumine asks, you shake your head, "I'm not hungry.." You say quietly, "I'm just gonna go to the cliff side. You can just call my name and I'll be there." You say facing away, "How can you hear it?" Paimon asks, you point at your ears, Paimon made an "Ohh" Sound and nods.

Your POV :

The feeling your feeling is very familiar, scarily familiar. You couldn't explain it, happiness? Sadness? Frightened? No words can explain. You didn't want to feel it, though. You're scared, you're scared you'd get attached. But, you were slowly getting attached, you didn't want them to leave, but you know to yourself that they're leaving. That other part of you just didn't want to believe it. You look down and sigh, "I guess this feeling is inevitable." You mumble to yourself while your eyes were closed, you opened your eyes to see a fox, you smile, "Hey little one." You say scratching its ears. You look up, "I guess it's just best of luck to me." You say looking back to come back in the forest, while walking, you hear a scream. Your eyes widen to the familiarity, "Lumine?"

Willow - Akiho/Kaito ficlet

Oooooh I'm back with another sappy moment between Akiho and Kaito!!

A little story I thought up while I was drawing my latest fanart.

In fact, this ficlet is an accompanying piece of my illustration that you can check out here. This is the first time I do something like this and if it's interesting, I might do it more in the future.

The title comes from Taylor Swift's "Willow", because I was listening to this song a lot when chapter 80 was released, and I had the first idea for this fanart.

Akiho here is 19, and she's by now in a relationship with Kaito.

They reached a point where they basically look the same age (like in my fanart) and still haven't found the spells they are looking for.

There's some "steamy" atmosphere between them, but....well, I'll leave it to you to find out! 😂Under the cut, as usual!! (don't miss the bonus with a certain special guest that I've put in my reblogs)

Akiho plopped down on the carpet in front of a heap of big cushions, holding a big, thick book with a nicely decorated hardcover, a freshly acquired treasure from the local public library.

Despite having already checked two different books, she was ready to take a deep dive into the mysterious contents of the heavy tome in her lap, which thankfully was written in a rune system she already knew, allowing her to decode it without much effort.

The thickness of the book suggested that browsing through it wouldn't turn out to be a quick task, but Akiho didn't seem fazed in the least.

She was in her natural element, after all.

The young woman had no magic powers herself, but in all these years of scouring libraries all over the world looking for two particular magic spells, she had become familiar with a multitude of concepts she only had grazed while living with her clan, reading magic books for them.

Kaito, of course, had filled her in for all sorts of things she didn't know. Magic sources, magic systems, magic jargon...by now, they held no secrets for her.

She knew she couldn't embark on this mission without understanding the matter fully, and she found it fascinating, so she didn't perceive it as a burden nor reignited her personal insecurities of the past. She might not have been blessed with magic in her blood, but it felt empowering to gather knowledge about it, in order to make her wish come true.

However, merely 20 minutes later, Akiho began feeling slightly frustrated at the content of this particular grimoire. She found out that some of the pages had blank spaces right under what appeared to be some sort of code names she never heard of.

"I'll never get to the end of it, at this rate", she murmured.

Yet, the more secretive a book was, the better chance for her to find the complex spells she was looking for. She knew that much.

"Kaito-san...? Could you help me here for a second?"

A few seconds later, the dark haired young man appeared at the door of the library room, pausing for a moment by the threshold. He peered at her intently for what Akiho felt were five very long seconds, and then walked towards her.

To her surprise, he sat down on the carpet and snuggled her from behind.

"Let's see..." he said nonchalantly as Akiho stared straight ahead at the blank space on the book, heat uncontrollably rising from her cheeks while she tried to keep her composure.

"Uhm...some of the procedures for these spells are encrypted with a code name. I'm pretty sure the description won't appear unless someone with magic decrypts them..."

The magician looked intently at the page Akiho was stuck on, and then confidently declared "Siliyaesta...ah, this should be a spell to transmute people into animals".

As if confirming the correct answer, runes appeared on the page among a myriad of colorful sparkles, filling the blank space.

Akiho stared in awe and then grinned enthusiastically.

"You're incredible...there isn't a single spell that can escape your knowledge."

"Just the result of a childhood spent shut in a library to avoid despicable people."

Akiho chuckled in response to his bitter irony.

"...I could've said the same. Well, too bad this has nothing to do with the spells we're looking for."

She quickly turned the next few pages to move to the next magic ritual, when she felt him tighten his embrace and lower his face dangerously close to her ear.

The shiver that went down her spine caused her breath to hitch, loud enough for him to hear. Much to her embarrassment.

"Kaito-san.... this is not the mom-" "Your hair was tickling my nose."

Despite the red of her cheeks deepened further, Akiho couldn't help but roll her eyes. She knew quite well what he was trying to do, even when he feigned ignorance like this. It slightly annoyed her, but also stirred up the butterflies in her stomach. "Damn", she thought while sighing, "he's so childish sometimes".

Kaito had the nerve to smirk, amused by the reaction of the young woman he was clutching tightly, with the eagerness of a three year old with his most beloved teddy bear.

"We need to check as many magic books as possible during this weekend. I have classes again on Monday and you know that between university and my commissions for book repairs, I won't have as much time on weekdays" she gently reprimanded him.

"You're tired, Akiho-san. Put that book down for a moment" he said candidly, with that unnerving grin of his.

"Are you trying to sabotage me?" she retorted, bewildered.

Both knew how important what she was doing was, and it's not like Kaito didn't help with the quest either. The more time passed, the more Akiho could feel anxiety creeping in the depth of her soul. Especially now that they looked basically the same age.

"I wouldn't call this 'sabotaging', I'm just making sure you still have some semblance of eyesight for your classes on Monday", he replied placidly.

Touché. The two books and half had taken their toll on her and, admittedly, her eyes felt quite strained at the moment.

"Alright," she finally turned around, still wrapped in his grip, "if that's what you want, then make me."

Blue topaz met amethyst, twinkling in the dimmed light of the library.

Akiho felt Kaito's hands on her stomach shifting, heart beating like a drum, anticipation stifling her breath. His eyes had taken on a devilish glint.

Then, a squeal echoed in the room.

"K-Kaito-san!! No! Please stop!!"

The magician had turned Akiho into a ticklish, laughing mess, grimoire successfully removed from her hands, abandoned on the floor.

After a few minutes he eventually decided to have mercy on the young woman wrestling and squealing in his arms, stopping his tickling attack.

Defeated and breathless, Akiho couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed at Kaito’s triumphant smile, for more than one reason actually, yet she was sure she had fallen in love with him even further, and she couldn't honestly understand how he did that to her.

It was a mystery.

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans

That's my man

[mochiwrites]

Guess who's back? Back again? Anons back! Tell a friend.

Lol sorry I'm once again back. The same anon who sent a bunch of questions about night life a while ago since I was rereading songbirds blood au. Soo uhm here's more

1. Mochi why does scar say in villainous thing that he has put his head in a werewolfs mouth??!?!?!?!?!? Scar mah dude u ok???? (Lowkey would wanna try it but I probably would leave the werewolfs mouth with a head 😊)

2. Grian.Trans.Canon? (Or scar? Or maybe both???)

3. With the glyphs is there only one way to use them or could you possible make them a tattoo and still you them. Since they are then constantly touching the glyphs they could possible do the magic of a mage. If they had multiple glyphs he could mix the glyphs somehow.(like how Luz mixes the glyphs by drawing them with eachother but instead they do it with their ✨️MIND✨️)

4. Also I love the idea of papapulse. Like I imagine Pearl or grian (most likely grian:^P) and Impulse going full demon mode tl protect them. (I saw that you tagged "Parent impulseSV (Video Blogging RPF)" in troubke in the dead of night🥺👏😍) Also is there different types of demons and what type of powers do they have?

5. In the fic "sitting in the garden at your feet" they have a whole picnic and all the adorableness. Do they go on more picnics frequently? (I really hope soo) I would guess they do since in villainous things they were also on their way to a picnic...but then yeah...poor birb tbh and poor scar

6. Have Ren and Martyn already have their wedding or are they still waiting? I wanna see treebark and I want to see mumbo ask grian go with him as his plus one to the wedding<3

(Though treebark owns my heart, Grumbo will always win) Don't talk about scarian I've never left the desert and don't plan to either😘

7. Okay soo in the fic "weight of living" there was this one scene where etho stared at grian. Here's the quote: "Etho eyes him for a moment, his gaze unreadable as he does so. It leaves Grian with chills. Weird."

Is it possible that etho is a Watcher? I'm mean   he is definitely not human(or maybe he is an immortal human?)  Etho may recognize grian, either as an old Watcher or a new Watcher to be made. Or maybe etho just thinks it is weird to see scar with grian(A HUMAN) The last one is more logical <:^)

8. On that note with Etho. You never confirm nor deny if grian is the "lost watcher" but what if I were to ask you if EFFO is the lost Watcher. I don't have proof but-...yeah idk

Wait wait just had another thought what if Pearl is the Watcher???? When the dream bugs ate her dreams there was a purple mist! Huh huh gotcha!/silly this is purely a joke🤣

9. Will we see a bad boy grian phase or possibly a drag queen phase🥺👉👈. Since it often mention that grian was a dare devil(still is:^P) or did grian have such phases. One of my friends is kinda a dare devil and he did drag once and I feel since grian might be the same there...

10. What did Scott do with the shard? Did he just entirely get rid of it? Also is Scott pure evil or broken. Maybe with the lost of his brother(Xornoth) did he turn evil or was evil just in his genes?

Those are all the questions and theories for now thank you for listing to my literal brain rot<3

This time it was numbered

(There will possible be more to come>:^] )

YIPPEE WELCOME BACK NONNIE :D

see me rubbing my paws together with a big grin >:3c no apologies needed !!!! I love questions hehe. as always, I can't answer everything clearly, because of spoilers but I'll certainly answer as much as I can!

1- WHEEZE scar just feels like the kinda guy to me to stick his head into the mouth of a werewolf for fun, y'know? he'd try it once just to see what would happen (and I mean, he's got no reason to fear dying, all things considered LOL)

2- GRIAN TRANS CANON !! honestly, just operate under the assumption that any grian I write is trans JFGDHFKKJDFG it's my comfort character and I get to project on him /silly (no trans scar though </3)

3- WAUG OKAY -- I've answered this kind of question before but for the life of me I can't find it D: I'm gonna keep searching for it, and when I find it I'll reblog this with that information mjfdhkfghfjg I don't wanna contradict myself LMAO

4- PAPAPULSE MY BELOVED 🥺I really wanna write more with him ueueue. I actually haven't done much world building for sb!demons but I'm going to say that yes, there are different types of demons! and they all have a wide range of different abilities :3

5- they def go on picnics yeah!!! I think it becomes one of grian's default methods to drag mumbo out of the manor when he can <33

6- ren and martyn haven't had their wedding yet :3 I actually hadn't thought about when their wedding would take place but ;w; oh that gives me some ideas....

7- etho isn't a watcher! the current lore is well. no one really knows what etho is. except maybe bdubs and joel. but their lips are Sealed (he's not the lost watcher either I'm afraid </3)

9- so currently I don't have any plans for a bad boy or drag queen phase to pop up in the story (though that could change, if any ideas come up) but they were certainly things he did when he was wayyy younger

10- what scott did with the shard hm? he broke it :) and I'm afraid evil is just in his genes unfortunately </3

hehe thank you for your questions!! :D

[hana-the-ghostieee]

alright alright alright iiiiiii had An Idea that i might want to share with the world it just came to me a week ago and took it's sweet time running around my head but i don't want to just dump this all on the one poor friend i have that has to know everything about me sooooooooooo. here. featuring a very silly rui & tsukasa cuz i enjoy their dynamic (whether it be platonic or romantic :P they're silly little guys and i like em for it)

okay. so you know the song Che- Che- Check, 1! 2! by WADATAKEAKI or KurageP, right? the same dude that made Chururira Chururira Daddadda! if you were wondering. (all of you wxs fans probably know where i'm going with this.)

i kind of want to hear a Rui and Tsukasa cover, kind of like the Self-cover that takeaki himself did. i know the song is about being a student that's just falling really hard for your teacher but i want to hear them do it *only* and i mean *ONLY* for the whole 1, 2 joke (cuz YEAH that's what i'm here for that's the only reason i made this post)

from the cut things are ruikasa (romantically, not platonically) so if you aren't into that. sorry you got my point you may leave now.

edit: i originally did this on computer but posted it on mobile and ??? it deleted my changes (you know. content descriptions and tags and such) so uhm mhm.

(alright now that they're gone, you guys are my favorites. hi fellow ruikasaer here is where things get ~ juicy ~)

ooh ooh but. if there's a 2dmv. the part where the lyrics go "That's why I'll go do something bad/I'll sneak into the broadcast room in lunch break and play it" is yet another prank, where our weirdo wombo combo sneak into the broadcast room and just play. not sure. silly random noises i guess. idk but instead of going to plan. muehehe. sorry for the evil laugh uhm.

(or maybe they walked around school just recording people say happy birthday or something to nene because well let's have them do something nice for once instead of blasting confetti-filled cannons left, right and center)

whoever's plugging the audio in for the *whole* school to hear. instead of playing said silly random noises. manages to instead. play a recording of his confessions of love to his partner in crime. and you can tell he had background assistance cuz in the back emu and nene are going "wooaaahhhhh☆!!! he's gonna love this!!! it's really mooshy-wooshy and warm!!!" and "...yeah, i guess saying he's the star that lights up the dark void that once was your universe would work. good luck."

ooh or they get caught but one of them forgets their phone and then. after the silly random noises end. the whole school hears the most sappy, sickening confession ever. and rui's just sitting in the back, realizing he forgot his phone in the broadcast room, knowing he left it on autoplay, and he can't do anything but sit in this pool of dread and regret

anyways yeah uhmm that's all i have nothing left to share :P

and then of course the whole school teases them into next year. including the teachers. apparently being boyfriends come with a consequence. nene magically disappears for the next week or two and every time emu comes over during lunch break she gets really confused why everyone's just acting weird? where's nene-chan? what's going on between rui-kun and tsukasa-kun? did they fight again? no wait, i don't think you hold hands and call each other ruru and kasa after you fight... huhh??? whuhh??? bwuhh??? did they - *ugly breath in* OH MY GOD DID THEY CONFESS WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! [she managed to give heart attacks to half the student body and staff with that one scream. i wrote this i would know. and if you want to manifest it into sound assume it sounds like that one KYAAAAA!!! she did from Positive☆Dance Time. im sorry]

PLEASE DO IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY

(link to previous post)

alright. doing this hc style because that'd be fun. Also committing a cardinal sin in writing directly into tumblr drafts instead of a second document so lets see how this goes.

uhm "let's see how it goes" it's been almost 5 months since i typed that. writing into drafts is the easiest way to forget about something it seems! Whatever I'll answer this now

and now its been 1 full year since i received this ask and i am only now finishing it up.... not doing graphics or putting this in my masterlist or anything so have fun finding it later on.

Under cut due to length! Primarily sfw with mentions of hooking up

RINNE:

Opens up a dating app profile for the fuck of it while he's really bored, it's not really his style, he'd much rather go out and physically meet someone tbh but why not

Matches with a good amount of people but tends to get bored of conversation with his matches realllly quickly. If he is vibing with someone though he's also really quick to invite them out to a bar or something

If you manage to catch his attention. and you accept his invitation, expect to be dragged around for a whole night of shenanigans

His ideal date is getting lunch, walking around until dark, getting tipsy, then bar hopping. He gets his duties done earlier on in the day so that he can spend the rest of the day with you.

If he ends up not liking you of course, he's not going to spend any more time with you than he has to. He comes up with some random excuse that you both know is bullshit and if you question him, he's not afraid to just tell you with no sugar coating that he's not into you

He'll be flirty and suggestive but he'll probably hold off on actually initiating anything until you either ask him to or make the first move yourself. He doesn't have something against some casual fun. He doesn't really have anywhere to take you back to thought so unless you have your own place, then an alleyway it is

He might actually treat you to a meal as thanks afterwards and just chill with you. After you get up to any kind of fun he's actually pretty calm afterwards.

He won't block you afterwards even if he wasn't really a fan of you. He'll still might hit you up again when he's bored as long as you weren't an explicitly bad lay. There's definitely potential to go from fwbs to lovers with him

Spend enough time with him and then one day he'll just show up and announce you're dating and from then on you'd be stuck with him lol

HIMERU:

So this either goes one of two ways. Either someone else signs him up for a dating app and secures him a date and he gets guilted into now leaving the person hanging OR when out of town he posts a profile with no images of his face just his body to get laid.

In the first scenario, he does his best to seem polite but ultimately disinterested. If you somehow manage to charm him and he has a good time, he'll be pretty conflicted.

He knows it's a really bad idea, but he won't be able to stop thinking about you. He might try to ghost you for a bit in hopes it'll smother whatever interest he had, but it probably doesn't work.

Either he caves when you message him after a good few days or he caves after a week and comes up with some excuse for not responding. From there it's complicated. He's very secretive and honestly it's a red flag but hey if you ignore it that's on you.

If it seems like you can't handle the way he keeps you at an arms-length for a while or that you might be a threat somehow, he will leave you. Most likely via sending a breakup text and then immediately blocking your number.

If we're talking about the second scenario though? His profile is just a pure thirst trap and he swipes on any person who seems like they'd be down for a no strings attached fuck. He's super quick to unmatch or block people if they give him the wrong vibes.

If you fit his criteria and seem like a good fit? He'll invite you to a hotel and spend a few hours with you. After it's all over he'll probably order some food for you both and stay with you until you fall asleep, then he runs off before you wake up.

Depending on how much he liked you and how trustworthy you seemed, he might thank you and promise to text you the next time he's in town orrrr he might also send a goodbye text then block you.

potential for FWB to lovers? would have to really be a slowburn but the potential is there.

NIKI

Ok so Niki is quite busy with his day-to-day life and I can't really see him going out of his way to set up a dating app account. He's another one who probably gets into this from someone else either making him an account or someone else convinces him to do so.

He's pretty liberal with his swiping. He doesn't exactly have a specific goal in mind while he's doing it so he kinda just goes for the ones whose bio makes it seem like they'd get along with him

He's pretty down to go out for a meal with most people relatively quickly but it might take him a bit longer for him to invite somebody out. When he does decide he likes someone enough to invite them out, he's honestly pretty likely to invite them to cafe cinnamon for a treat.

Niki's genuinely a friendly guy and seeks to know someone as a person and a friend before he makes any romantic or sexual moves on anyone. This doesn't mean he wouldn't reciprocate if someone else made the first move though.

If you make a pass at him, he's generally speaking down pretty quickly. Maybe not first date level quickly, but still pretty quickly. He's not really easily embarrassed or a prude by any means so if he likes someone as a person well enough, he doesn't see why not to enjoy himself.

He'll take you back to his place or go with you to yours without much fuss. After you guys have fun, he'll probably try to make some food or raid your kitchen for snacks. He has to feed himself first because of his condition, but he'll always feed you too.

I imagine he's probably bad at reaching out to people first to make plans and often loses track of how long it's been since he last talked to someone, but don't mistake that for disinterest! he's pretty non judgemental and as long as you weren't explicitly an ass, he's very likely to give you a second date.

Cal Lucia plays Fire Emblem Path of Radiance: Chapter 19

Okay, so I guess after chapter 17, we're now sort of falling into a new "business" of usual rhythm here. New battles against Daien, slowly making our way into enemy territory, the works.

And something new I only just now realized because the friend I was streaming for pointed it out to me: units auto-promote once reaching level 20 and then levelling up again?? I guess that explains why the game has been exceptionally stingy with Master Seals thus far. I always just thought that in this game units loop back around to level 1 without changing class.

. . .Naesala being there makes this not quite as "usual" as I would've thought. He's even on the actual map itself, which. . . uhm. Now that's going to be a thing to deal with.

The map has got ballistae, too! Cool for a gameplay mechanic, but a certified Tricky™ moment otherwise. Especially since Naesala is there as well and moves, with his attack range overlapping with said ballistae. Thankfully I already know that the way for getting him to leave is by having either Janaff or Ulki talk with him and having Reyson talk with him, but. Uh, actually getting the circumstances for that is another thing.

But, come to think of it, I do always deploy Tanith as well, who has the reinforcement ability. . . let's try this with cannon fodder.

Cannon fodder is doing the trick! The reinforcements managed to lure in Naesala, and them getting hit by the ballistae is also no problem.

. . .And Reyson can't actually talk to Naesala after Janaff has talked with him. I guess Naesala needs to do it on his turn? Oh boy. . .

But that worked out, I guess. He's talking to him alright.

Naesala really must mean a lot to Reyson if he's just willing to forgive him like that. Or, to be fair - it's not "just like that", but still relatively easy considering what Naesala did. It's definitely making Naesala a more interesting character though that he would leave the battle and his entire alliance with Daien just for Reyson, though.

Rest of the map went relatively well. . . until the boss. I was whittling his down just fine. . . until his skill activated, and he used it to kill Nephenee. Starting again!

Second go at the chapter went much smoother, especially since I realized that Naesala's attack was not as dangerous as it seemed. I lured him in with Nephenee and got his talks out of the way much sooner, and in a way that left more of his ravens alive, too. During my last go at the chapter, only one of them survived, whereas now, I think almost all of them did.

Now with a bit more care, I manage to take down the boss, complete with a redemption arc for Nephenee. Thank goodness that fucker didn't move.

As for the aftermath of the chapter. . . kind of odd that Daien would just randomly store so much gold in the middle of nowhere like this. Sure is convenient for the group though, eh?

I'll have to admit, when Ike had brought up needing 50.000 for a private matter, I had completely forgotten about the whole thing with Volke and his information. But the information he has. . . oh boy!

Well, I already knew that Mist's medallion was called "Lehran's medallion", and that a kind of god was sealed away inside of it. But the fact that it amplifies people's negative qualities or makes them mad. . . huh. I didn't know about that.

Likewise, I also had heard about the plot point of Greil having killed Ike's mother, but I had no idea about the circumstances. That. . . woof. Heavy lore dump there. But also good characterization for Greil, even if it is posthumously.

And Volke is joining properly now. Well, sure, why not. Also makes me doubt even more that he might be the spy, so I'm keeping my eyes on Soren for that one.

. . .Okay, that promotion for Volke was. . . a bit of a mood killer. Also, he's revealing his true self by obscuring even more of his face?? Pfft, okay.

And then right back to an emotional beat for Ike. . . yeah, not the best in terms of pacing and the like.

It's so familiar, and he knows him well

➤ AU!Arthur is alive and lives in Blackwater; He's Jack's favorite uncle obviously.

➨ Jack sat quietly under the evergreen tree to read the book that he just started the night before 'cause of his mother, who sent him to bed early (heck, it was just two in the morning).

The weather was cool, the sun was intense and so the wind, he liked it.

When he was just about to begin chapter fourteen of the book, he heard the gallop in the distance at the entrance to the farm. He raised his head to see who it was, although it would be difficult for him to tell 'cause of the rocks that would get in his field of vision.

He sighed and looked back at the book ready to resume reading. When he was halfway through, he heard Arthur Morgan's characteristic laugh.

ㅡ Whenever I come, you're immersed in a different book ㅡthe adult mocked, taking the cigarette out from between his lips and throwing it on the ground and then stepping on it.ㅡ What do you read?

ㅡ Uhm... ㅡhe whispered sadly.ㅡ Mom bought it for me and it's... uhm...

ㅡ Tell me now.

ㅡ It's "Pride and Prejudice".

ㅡ It's a good book ㅡthe adult murmured.ㅡ Are you liking it?

ㅡ I guess.

ㅡ You wanna come fishing with me?

ㅡ Fishing?

Oh, this conversation felt familiar.

ㅡ Sure, you're... old enough. Come on.

Jack stood up with the book under his arm, agreeing to Morgan's idea. He left his book in his room and returned with the adult, they went to look for the fishing rods that they kept in the barn and began their short trip to the same place where a few years ago Rufus was bitten by that snake, an experience painful for young Marston.

ㅡ And how are you adapting to this? You know... about Ross and the government guys...

ㅡ Pa killed Uncle Dutch?

Arthur didn't really know whether to answer him or not, or whether to tell him the truth.

ㅡ I'm not a child, okay? You can tell me.

ㅡ John killed him, and Bill, and Javier, remember Javier?

ㅡ A little ㅡhe opened up.ㅡ I didn't like him that much, neither did Bill... I liked Uncle Hosea ㅡhe smiled involuntarily, but he erased his smile a few seconds later.ㅡ It doesn't matter though, it's in the past, they're all dead.

ㅡ Your father and I are still here ㅡhe told him, grabbing the fish he had just caught.ㅡ Your mother too, and Uncle... sometimes.

ㅡ We are... the last thing left.

ㅡ We are the last thing left ㅡsaid the blonde looking at the landscape.ㅡ What a view.

ㅡ Yeah... my father chose a good place.

Morgan nodded slowly, looking at who he might consider his nephew.

They spent a few minutes in silence fishing, removing the fish from the rod and throwing them back into the water, although some of them were kept in the bucket that Jack had taken care of carrying. The tranquility of the atmosphere was interrupted by shots fired in the distance.

ㅡ That... ㅡJack stammered nervously.ㅡ That's...

ㅡ Hide ㅡArthur told him, leaving his rod on the ground. He took out his gun from the holster on his belt.ㅡ Now.

Jack didn't know how to react at the moment, he had to be pushed by the blonde behind a rock while he advanced up the hill. He saw him disappear, heard screams and more gunshots, then the horrible silence in the place.

Has he died?

His hands shook and he poked his head over the rock, there was no sign of Arthur.

He came out of hiding scared, wondering if he should call his uncle out loud. He swallowed hard when he heard footsteps on the ground coming his way, he closed his eyes fearing the worst.

ㅡ They left ㅡhe heard. He opened the orbs.ㅡ Are you okay?

ㅡ Y-yes... yes! ㅡhe answered nervously.ㅡ I... I-I wasn't afraid, no, no...

ㅡ It's okay to be afraid sometimes ㅡhe told him, patting his shoulder.ㅡ It was a lot of adrenaline today, don't you think? Come on, I'll take you home.

ㅡ Okay ㅡthe teenager agreed, still nervous.ㅡ Are you... sure they're not going to come back?

Arthur looked at him in silence and nodded, giving him a push to get on the horse which he went to look for, since he had fled due to the gunshots.

The ride back to his house was silent, Jack looked everywhere hoping not to see someone else, someone who might pull the trigger out of nowhere. When they arrived, Abigail was standing on the porch of the house next to John.

Ugh, how weird it was to see them kiss. They never have, or at least not with him nearby or in sight.

ㅡ Yikes, separate now ㅡhe said, climbing the few steps that led to the porch.ㅡ I'm going to cry blood, folks.

ㅡ Oh, close your mouth ㅡhis mother mumbled, John next to her chuckled.ㅡ Are you okay? You look pale.

ㅡ 'm fine ㅡhe answered.ㅡ We brought fish and... uhm... I'll go lie down.

ㅡ Hey, kid ㅡArthur called him. Jack turned to look at him momentarily.ㅡ You're okay, I know you are.

Perhaps Arthur Morgan understood him more than he could understand himself.

hi uhm announcement phil here! In my rush to get shit done I kinda forgot to announce that Tommy is going on a permanent(?)* hiatus the blog. Goodbye Big Man! o7!

In other news, I didn't get the chance to run this past Mod Boo, since she isn't active on discord at the moment, but I may go delete old request from the inbox and do a little restart for everything for this "new year" of the blog...

At the moment, all I know is that I desperately need to redo the anon list, because my notes for it are such an headache... I may just cut it down to frequent anons rather than every anon that ever sent a message, but I think I'll keep trying to write every anon down somehow... I dunno it will probably take a lot of tinkering for me to find something for this that is doable.

But uhm well I don't know how things will go just yet. Boo is still a Mod here and thusly I would like to consult her on anything I may do, but I do think changes are coming to the blog... I recall us floating around the ideas of doing like ask games and stuff a while back and I think maybe I'll play around with bringing that back!

Honestly if you have suggestions for things you may want from here I'd be glad to hear them out. Might as well do that while I have change on the mind yknow?

Hope you guys are doing well. Also sorry if I only appear sporadically, I'm between a lot of things right now. -Phil

*- Note: I say "permanent(?)" because I will not be removing his access from the blog. I'm gonna leave that door open for him to do whatever he wants with it. He's a founder yknow so uh yeah. I'm always gonna welcome him back to be a mod if he ever wants to be one again in the future.

Silly Birthday

Millet's Birthday 4★ story (1/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )

Location: kitchen (morning) | Characters: Millet, Jan, Hubert

Millet: … Ah, Hubert. I've already washed that plate.

Hubert: Ah, is that so? Sorry.

Millet: I'm the one who should be sorry, because I put it in a hard to find place too. Can I ask you to wash this one?

Hubert: Sure. Then I'll leave the pot to you.

Millet: Alright, got it.

Jan: Bert-nii, Bert-nii! Can I do somethiiing?

Hubert: Then, can you wipe the dishes after I wash them?

Jan: Okaaaaay! Wipe, wipe…

… Hey hey, Bert-nii.

Hubert: Yes? What now?

Jan: Lately I feel like I haven't been to a party in a long timeee. I wanna do more of them!

Millet: Hahaha, we can do it whenever there's a celebration.

Jan: Regular meals are delicious, but I also crave party treats. The last one we did was for Giotto-nii's birthday! I wanna do moreee!

Hubert: Hmmm… There aren't many opportunities for parties in September…

Millet: It's a shame, since it's autumn. Food is abundant, isn't it? I can think of plenty of dishes to showcase at a party.

Hubert: You can also make sweets with pumpkin, chestnuts and sweet potatoes.

Jan: Woaaah! That's good! I wanna eat theeem!

Millet: … Ah, right. Now that you mention it, it reminds me. I have some vegetables that I left untouched, thinking I would harvest them later. I'll go get some.

Hubert: Ah, alright. See you later.

Jan: Siiigh. It would be even more wonderful if I could have a birthday treat with sweets made by Bert-nii~

Hubert: Fufu. That would be very nice– … Huh? Come to think of it, the next birthday is…

—

Millet: I'm back, guys.

Jan: Ah, ah, uh, uhm, welcome back!

Millet: …?

Hubert: We'll save the harvested vegetables again. We may want to make pickles.

Millet: Ah, alright. Oh yeah, about what we were talking about earlier. I think it'll be Watteau's birthday soon.

Jan: Huh, but the next–

Hubert: … Jan.

Jan: I-It's nothiiiing!

Millet: …? What's wrong?

Hubert: Ah, no, it's just… R-Right, we were going to discuss the menu for tonight's dinner.

Millet: ? If that's the case, I thought we had talked about it over lunch…

Hubert: No, I thought about it again and decided that another menu would be better! Right, Jan! We were talking about that!

Jan: Y-Yeah! That's right! I said it's warm today and I wanted a cold meal!

Hubert: So, Millet-san, let's come up with something good for the menu!

Millet: I don't mind, but…

… Ah, how about using the vegetables I just harvested? They taste better when they're fresh and I want to hear what everyone thinks.

Hubert: Good idea. So, let's talk about a vegetable-based dish…

Jan: I want jelly for desseeert! The sweetest one!

Millet: That might be just the right thing for a warm night. Then let's think in the direction of making jelly too.

Jan: Yaaay! Thank you, Millet-nii!

Hubert: … Phew. I was able to fool him for the time being… wasn't I?

ㅤㅤ" oh— yeah. "ㅤa surprised chuff of a laugh escaping in a visible puff of air, si-u battles the urge to both pull his hands free of ellie's while apologizing as well as that to close his hands around hers to more quickly absorb some of her warmth. his inability to make a decision one way or another leaves him frozen in place, hands remaining awkwardly flat while ellie holds on to them, an uncertain but somewhat amused bit of a smile on his lips.

ㅤㅤ" don't like wearing gloves if i don't have to, "ㅤhe explains almost sheepishly, tentatively curling his fingers as though testing the waters, like he's half-expecting his hands to be dropped if he's not careful about it.ㅤ" and when i do, they have to be fingerless. i just, uhm. i hate having my sense of touch obstructed. makes it harder to get around. "ㅤbyan had once likened it to them putting on a blindfold and trying to find their way around, he remembers. for a moment, he considers repeating it here, but ultimately decides that he doesn't want to risk talking about it too much and being annoying over what might have been little more than an offhand comment on ellie's end. ㅤㅤ" ...maybe should've worn them today though, it's— it's colder out than i expected. "ㅤanother soft, embarrassed breath of a laugh, and the snow under si-u's boots crunches with an anxious shuffling of feet.ㅤ" i was actually on my way to get some coffee to warm up, though. would you... uhm. would you... like to come with me? i'll pay — consider it an apology for startling you with my blocks of ice in the shape of hands? " @lctibule 🔆continued.

the air was bitingly cold, but who was ellie to chastise si-u for not wearing gloves while she, too, was not wearing gloves. it's concern that colours her tone, and his gaze as it combed over her companion's face as though checking for some wound or damage, before settling on their hands, his mostly flat and unmoving over hers, until a gentle grip crept around that she easily returned, absentmindedly rubbing her thumbs, trying to create some friction for warmth. 

she listened, giving a small affirmative murmur so he knew she was nodding along, understanding. "kinda like if you told me to put my sleep mask on and then walk without bumping into anything. makes sense!"

"hang on, wait, i've got-" she squeezes, three times, a gentle pulse before slipping her right hand away, making sure to keep holding on with his left, cutting himself off as he reached into her handbag. the rummaging takes a moment, one-handed making it slightly more difficult before pulling out her prize. 

"do you mind holding things? you can hold my hand and steal my warmth as much as you like, but for your other hand..." pulling her left hand from si-u's gentle grip, followed by a muted crack of the gel in the hand warmers had acquired before turning si-u's hands palm-up and placed one in each, before swiftly latching their hands back together, making her intent not to drop them clear. unless he wanted to let go, of course. "you don't have to use them, i just... don't like the idea of you losing the use of your fingers." 

another gentle squeeze, hoping to alleviate some of his nervousness (she didn't think he had any reason to be but would give him the grace of not calling it out directly; perhaps another time, but not right now) accompanied a soft chuckle. "well, i'll never say no to good company and a hot drink, but if it's all the same to you, i won't be considering it an apology. your hand-shaped ice blocks are nothing compared to some of the doctors i work with, and they don't even have a good reason. inside with heating and ample coffee or tea. but i will take it as a sign of friendship if you really want to pay, but i will be catching the next one."

MER-LOVE!

Mermaid AU! Blue Lock x Researcher! Reader

FEAT. Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri, Nagi

NOTES. can be read as platonic or romantic!! while sea monsters could 100% be cool and everything, i like the idea that they’re all sparkly pretty mermaids (and idk any sea monsters except maybe a kraken or something).

Mer-Love! Masterlist here !

ISAGI and BACHIRA were your first encounter of many, many, more mermaids to come.

While the former needed some time to grow used to your presence, the latter embraced you with open arms (or fins you suppose), always having a toothy grin on his face as he happily assisted you in your endeavours. Whether it was gathering rocks, fish, or sea plants for your studies, they eagerly lent their aid, making research so much easier for you. You definitely got lucky with them, who knows what they might’ve tried if their intentions were more sinister…

It’s hard not to grow attached to the pair of them. Luckily for you, it seemed that the affection was mutual or at the very least, they tolerated you and that was good enough!

Isagi, in particular, welcomes your inquiries about mermaid culture and their species as a whole, answering them to the best of his ability. He’s so earnest and genuine that you begin to feel a little guilty not giving him anything in return, so you try to gift him random things he might like every now and then. Though, your first attempt still haunts you to this day..!

────

Isagi's reaction catches you off guard as you observe his face, his wide eyes fixed attentively on the trinket nestled in his palm. The longer the two of you remained in silence, the more panic built up inside of you. "…do you not like it? I-I'm so sorry, uhm, I'll just take it back—" you say, fumbling for the gift whilst dying of embarrassment.

In mermaid culture, is gifting them things disrespectful, or even worse, a sign of aggression!?

But before you can retrieve your gift, Isagi backs away from you, cradling the tiny object close to his chest protectively. His expression bordering on a pout as if he was offended that you’d dare try to take it back. "No, I want to keep it," he huffs, leaving no room for argument.

────

Bachira's affectionate nature contrasts a lot with Isagi's initial wariness. In the beginning when you remained safely aboard your boat (still debating on whether they’d try kill you or not), he whined that speaking to you while you were so far away was so difficult! Just come a little closer, he doesn’t bite!

Most of the time anyway.

But in the end, it was worth being patient because now the both of you are like two dolphins in a pod! The other merpeople often find him holding your hand in his or trying to drag you into the depths below. “What? It’s not dangerous at all! Can’t humans swim?”

He seems genuinely disappointed that you cannot stay underwater for more than a minute at best. The frown on his face is cute, but it tugs at your heartstrings any time you see it and you thought to yourself, maybe you should try to cheering him up?

────

The sudden weight on your shoulders startles you but the familiar voice that follows instantly calms your nerves. "It's really you! Did you finally learn how to grow gills?"

Bachira's words are accompanied by a radiant smile. He gestures to (what he thinks are supposed to be) your clothes with a curious expression. Unable to respond verbally with a snorkel pressed to your face, you opt to gently squeeze his cheek in affection. You should be mindful of indulging him too much though, knowing full well that his enthusiasm could set some unrealistic expectations.

As much as you cherish your underwater adventures with him, diving 24/7 is bound to come with a few side effects and your oxygen tank won’t last forever.

────

Overall, 10/10 experience with these two! Both are adorable, seemingly well-behaved (for you) and are very much so helpful.

As CHIGIRI joins Bachira and Isagi on one of their daily excursions to visit you, you're immediately struck by his appearance, a sight so beautiful that it leaves you slightly speechless.

However, your admiration is interrupted when you notice the scar marring one side of his tail. It’s only when he meets your eyes with an awkward yet understanding expression, that you realise you’re staring. Even with the mountain of apologies that spill from your lips, he reassures you with a gentle smile that he knows you’re not trying to be rude.

Because he looks like he’s in a mood on most days, you’re pleasantly surprised by his nonchalant personality and his sarcasm that was always delivered in a playful way (and not him being a jerk), never failing to make you laugh. He’s just naturally likeable, you think.

Once the initial awkwardness dissipates, befriending Chigiri is pretty easy!

Yet, despite your growing friendship, you hesitate to broach the topic of his scar, wary of going into potentially sensitive territory. There’s just some things you can be curious about but shouldn’t ask, y’know? It’s only when your concerns inadvertently slip to Isagi in passing that Bachira thinks to take it upon himself to ease the tension, a.k.a he tells chigiri everything.

────

Chigiri’s attempts to reassure you fall on deaf ears, as you continue to apologise for what seemed like the hundredth time.

“It’s fine, really. The scar’s just an injury I got a year ago, I don’t even think about it that much anymore…” he says again, patting you on the shoulder (which according to humans, should be comforting?)

However, your persistent apologies don’t seem to stop, much to his annoyance. With a swift flick of his tail, he splashes a wave of water in your direction, effectively stopping your stream of apologies mid-sentence.

────

He’s someone whose easy to get along with, easy on the eyes, and all in all easy to be around. What’s not to like?

NAGI captured your attention once you saw him sleeping on the sun-warmed rock, which prompted you to call out to him. After a brief pause, he wakes up, his metallic eyes flashing with annoyance that suggested your interruption was less than welcome.

Sheepishly, you attempted to ask him a few questions, but he simply closes his eyes and settles back onto the rock. With a resigned sigh, you retreat to the safety of your boat, choosing to bide your time and observe the surroundings while making notes for your research.

It’s only when Nagi begins to get tired of the waves sometimes thrashing against his skin or other merfolk bothering him that he decides, enough was enough. He’s kept an eye on the seemingly smooth surface that you often stand on, which could be a perfect spot for him to relax!

He proposes quite the enticing deal for both parties involved: in exchange for allowing him to nap on your water-house-thing, he’ll help with some research. “It’s just answering questions, right?”

Excited at the thought of more information, you eagerly accept his offer — completely unaware to the fact that he just sleeps. Like. All day. However you soon discover that in spite of this, he’s actually quite intelligent. Hand him a puzzle, a memorisation game or even something like Sudoku and he’ll probably solve it within a few seconds.

────

As Nagi places the final puzzle piece onto the board, effortlessly completing the ‘task’ you set him, a sense of satisfaction washes over you even with his complaints. You’ve grown used to his nonchalant tone, even if he unconsciously insults your decisions. “It’s just looking at the picture and making it, it’s not that hard.”

You smile, “I think you'll find that you're just quite a clever person.”

The compliment stirs a warm, fuzzy feeling that Nagi can't quite describe inside of him. "Mhm…" he murmurs softly, content to bask in your presence and allowing his eyes to shut once more.

────

He doesn’t do much but at least he doesn’t cause much trouble for you either!

Try, not trying

pairing. cyno x fem!reader cw/genre. slight angst, no comfort, sort of toxic relationship, short. masterlist! requests open!

Y/N forced himself to swallow his pride.

Now she was standing in front of his door, with him looking at her.

Y/N's words got stuck in her throat, her heart had prepared what she was going to say, but her pride was preventing her words from coming out.

"… Hi." She forced herself to say, her voice came out strained and awkward. She felt her palms sweat under his gaze.

Cyno looked at Y/N, his face expressionless and still not saying a word.

He didn't know what to think, nor how to talk about what happened in the past.

After a few seconds of silence between them, Cyno finally broke it.

"What do you want, Y/N?" He asked, not sounding mean or harsh, just neutral.

"Uhm…I was just coming to apologise." She spoke feeling embarrassed, with her willpower she kept her gaze on his eyes.

Cyno crossed his arms, looking at Y/N for a few seconds. He seemed to be contemplating what to do next, though he wasn't angry nor frustrated.

"Fine." He said after those few seconds, his tone slightly annoyed if not bored. "Come inside." He said, and moved out of the way from his door, making space for Y/N.

She nodded and walked into his house, her eyes swept over the place where there was a picture of the two of them, she sighed as she saw it still there.

"…as I said before, I'm sorry." She spoke, her paragraph she had practiced for this moment completely slipped her mind.

"I just…I really don't like how you leave for days at a time without telling me." She spoke again, a hint of frustration noticeable in her voice.

Cyno's face didn't change a bit, still as expressionless as before. He glanced over at the picture of them, sighing with Y/N.

He took a step closer to her.

"There are many reasons for me to leave for days, Y/N." He said, his tone still neutral. "I have my work as a matra to take care of, I sometimes do my TCG activities…" He continued.

"I know, but how do I know where you are? or what you're doing? or if you're okay? or if you're okay? or if…" Again, her brain played a trick on her, just like it did when they fought.

"…are you with someone else?" She continued her sentence, frowning at the possible idea of that scenario.

A slight annoyance flashed on Cyno's face as he listened to Y/N's words, though this annoyance didn't last. When she finished, he kept his neutral tone as always.

"So you don't trust me, Y/N?" He said. "Are you assuming something just because I won't tell you where I am or what I'm doing?"

"Do you want me to update you every five or ten minutes so that you know where I am and what I do?" He added, sounding sarcastic.

"Ah. No!" She sighed trying to relax, it looked like they were going to fight again. Besides the way he was responding left a lot to be said.

"It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just asking you to tell me when you're going to leave for some time." She spoke.

She does trust him, it's just that her mind won't stop tormenting her because of her past relationships.

Cyno looked at Y/N as she tried to compose herself. His face was expressionless, so there's no way for her to know that she was doing slightly well in getting through to him.

"So you're afraid I'll leave for so long you might think I'm cheating, is that it?" He asked again, crossing his arms. "You do know that I'm not cheating with anyone." He continued, still talking in a neutral tone.

"…"

"No, I don't know. I don't know if every time you leave you're seeing someone." She spoke, she was supposed to come to apologise, not to get back to the topic they didn't finish talking about.

At her words, Cyno's face finally twisted into a frown. "Are you serious? Are you actually thinking I'm cheating on you with other women? Is that what's eating you?" He asked.

"This is the reason why we split." He continued, still sounding frustrated. "This is the exact reason. Can't you trust me, Y/N? Can't you just trust me to do my work or spend time on my own without thinking I'm going to cheat on you?"

"Damn it…"

"I swear I do trust you, Cyno."

"Or at least I try to." Her voice sounded desperate and frustrated, if only she had healed the traumas of her past relationships, none of this would be happening.

Cyno looked at her, his frown staying put on his face. "Then why are you accusing me of cheating?" He asked again. "Are you still not over the way your previous relationships went or something? Not everything is about your exes. I'm not your ex."

"Can't you just learn to trust me or do I really not mean a thing to you?" He continued, still sounding frustrated and annoyed.

"I don't even know why I came to apologise to you if you behave like that too." She spoke quietly, gradually calmed down, then took about three deep breaths.

"Neither of us can understand each other."

Cyno let out a long sigh, crossing his arms as he looked at the ground. "Guess we can't…" He said, his tone becoming neutral.

"Look, just forget it." He continued. "It's late, too. You should go home."

A shaky sigh came out of Y/N's mouth.

"Yes, it's late." She glanced sideways at the picture of the two of them hugging.

"Have a rest." She spoke and walked out the door of her house. She was trying, she was really trying, but she couldn't do much if he couldn't understand because of her bad experiences with her past relationships.
