JEALOUS SAE HEADCANONS PLEASEEEEE
Jealous hc
Characters: sae, rin, kaiser, hiori, karasu, shidou
m.list | rules
Note: hiiii how are youuu thank you for your request hihi I had other characters bc I felt like doing it for them too
Sae Itoshi
he’s too prideful to be jealous, or he thinks so
in fact he get pissed off easily, anyone being a little to friendly with you bother him and he already doesn’t like anyone so imagine
he’s not subtile, even if he thinks he is
he’ll get closer, talk like shit to the person who’s flirting with you in his eyes
roll his eyes, click his tongue, you name it
Suddenly he wants to go home or leave for another place
You never honestly never thought you'll see him like that since he's confident and trusts you
I think he just doesn't like people and so by extension he hates people talking to you
He likes to think he's the only one who can make you smile like that, beside your friends (he's not insane)
So seeing some nobody making you smile, or even worst : laugh makes him jealous
He’s not into pda to save his life i think, that’s something he keeps behind closed doors
But oh man how he likes to kiss you when it happens, just to remind everyone that you're taken and you're proud of it
Be prepared to hear about this, he’s a nagging mom at heart
“Are you done ?” you’d ask and magically, yes he is
he will sulk yes, but close to you at least
Rin Itoshi
Bare with him, he acts tough but deep down he wants to cry
Just like his brother, he will get closer, his arm will probably stay around your shoulders after that
But he won’t be mean to them, just kinda ignore them or send death glare if they get too close
No touching, even in a friendly way, don’t be ridiculous
I think he appreciates it if you put a stop yourself
He’s more insecure than he likes to admit and it prove him that he can trust you
He’s gonna be clingy af though
When you two are finally alone, Rin won’t say a world but glue himself to you
He’ll need reassurance for sure :( this boy has abandon issues
Michael Kaiser
He’s an asshole (lovingly)
He let people flirt with you if it helps their ego and mock them for how long you can think, it’s almost an inside joke for him
The irony is that he’s really possessive, so it’s all fun and game until it’s not some loser that try to hit on you
Not that he feels threaten, please
But he still don’t wanna play with them and he doesn’t want you nearby
If you just happen to be friendly with someone then he’s bothered
What do you mean by being this happy to see someone else ?
He’ll ask a million questions and whine about it before brush it off as if he doesn’t care
It takes a lot to deal with him, his reaction depend on his phase
If he feels low then he’ll be a nightmare, you had to be sorry for someone hitting on you and tell him he’s your one and only
If he’s his confident self, it’s almost like he doesn’t care and let it happen
Being with him is a roller coaster
Tabito Karasu
Best man if is speak
He’s mature and he knows he’s projecting his own insecurity when he’s jealous, so he doesn’t make a big deal about it
He’s not gonna ruin the moment so he just keep his cool and act normally
Deep down you can feel there’s some awkwardness so you try to ask him silently, with your eyes or smile, if he’s ok
He loves you so much he feels dumb to even be jealous the second you do that honestly
Expect small pda like holding hands above your knees, playing with your fingers or the em of your shirt/ skirt
He’ll talk to you about it on your way back home or when you two are comfortable at yours or his place
He knows it’s normal to feel like this sometimes but it’s normal to reach for comfort right ? he’s not shy to ask
Nothings best than you playing with his hair, laying on your chest or thighs
Ryusei Shidou
He’s unhinged he scares me
I think he’s the most jealous among them
You’re his, that’s it so, he may seem lay back (and weird) but he’s cautious with every person coming near you
I hc him with abandon issues as well (give us his back story please and make it worth it compare to some character) so he’s always scared of you leaving
It’s still more in a possessive than an insecure way, he just can’t take it if he considered that someone is too close to you
He gets touchy oh my, he’s all over you, can’t keep his hands to himself just to let them know that you’re taken
He’ll talk to them straight in the eyes while his hand run up and down your thighs, he’s not ashamed of anything
You have to put a stop to it but always expected something more while coming home
Yo Hiori
He’s cute and I don’t think people take him seriously enough
You’re amazing and beautiful and fun to talk to, people already asked you why him
He kinda has war flashback ngl
Obviously he also think that he’s not enough and probably get jealous/sad quickly if someone get close to you and is really friendly
He’s scared to take things into hand I think, so he’ll just ask for you two to leave
He won’t tell you how he feels, he’s sure it’s not important enough to bring it up but you always ask him anyway
You’re so sorry that it happens at all honestly, you never want him to feel like this
He never ask for it but you’re clingy and want to do nothing with him, spending some quality time together, watching him play game while you stay on your phone or even sitting in his laps
It always make him feel better and remind him that you won’t leave him so soon
I hope you liked it ♡

Mirror
Rin x GN!Reader
Comfort Angst, experiences of anxiety attacks, Reader and Rin are both kind of obsessive lmao, some threats of violence but nothing happens, established relationship and also merry christmas though this fic has nothing to do with that!!
“Speak for yourself. I’m perfectly logical.” He eventually retorts. You actually laugh at that, though it definitely sounds weak and shaky even to your own ears. “…stupid.” You say with a fond smile. “At least I can be honest with myself.”
It’s a sunny day as you watch your boyfriend on the field, his figure distant as you sit in the stands, watching him practice. The birds are chirping, a few fluffy clouds decorate the sky and the temperature is mild if not a bit warm… it’s a beautiful day.
And you’re pissed off.
Not at him, almost never at him despite his oftentimes abrasive and harsh demeanor. But then again, you’ve always been exceptionally lenient when it comes to Rin.
No, the reason you’re pissed off isn’t because of Rin, rather it’s because of your own issues, your own stewing jealousy when a particularly pretty girl happened to confess her feelings to your handsome boyfriend in the form of a note in his locker.
Obviously, he rejected her, in that blunt way of his, but even then you couldn’t help but notice how he took the time to make sure he rejected her in person, still respecting her feelings despite the fact that he didn’t return them.
And it really shouldn’t bother you… but you’ve always been, unhinged, to say the least.
It’s hard to explain exactly, but, when it comes to the people in your life, when it comes to hobbies you have, anything that you’re passionate about, you tend to get absorbed in those things in a rather unhealthy way.
Like that time you dropped all your plans to cheer up your best friend when she was only mildly upset, or that time you watched a series and then made it your entire personality for a month straight… you’ve always been a tad obsessive.
And when it comes to you, it feels more juvenile to feel this way.
It’s hard to explain, but you’ve always been more emotionally honest than Rin, and for that reason you feel like you come off as more needy.
Or maybe that means you’re more emotionally mature.
Or not.
You don’t know, you hate going in circles like this, pacing around in your own mind. Sometimes you wonder if you were more like Rin and ignored your feelings it would be less annoying. But you suppose that self awareness is one of your strengths.
Although, you have to admit, self awareness is also a curse when you have to deal with your own negative emotions rather than having a philosophical discussion, which brings you back to your conflicting feelings.
You don’t like being jealous, no one does, but you feel especially icky about the types of thoughts it brings. You don’t like the fact that your first thought towards this girl was so negative, you don’t like the fact that you feel like a worse person because of that and you don’t like the fact that a very primal part of you wants to march over onto that field and kiss your boyfriend senseless for no reason other than to see his swollen lips afterwards.
Normally, you’d have no problem talking about your feelings with Rin, as emotionally closed off and brash as he is, but something about this makes you feel like you want to stick your head into a hole in the ground, much like an ostrich. Or, to put it plainly, you’re a mess and you’re losing your mind trying not to implode with all your emotions.
Imploding can wait though, you’ll dissect this when you get home, right now you’ll throw on a smile and talk to your boyfriend who you are most certainly not creating scenarios of sneaking off with this pretty girl with her stupid pretty smile and her dumbass cute hairstyle–
Right.
No imploding.
You sigh and shake your head, looking back at the field, watching as Rin begins to wrap up his practice and take that as your cue to make your way over to him after you hop off of your seat in the risers.
As you near him you can make out his features more distinctly, the sharp curve of his jaw, the length of his under lashes, the pretty teal of his eyes… he’s stupidly handsome as always, and it makes you feel even more ticked off, though you do your best to suppress those thoughts.
“Hey, you.” You say with a smile, picking up his water bottle from the bench and tossing it his way as if practiced, and he catches it with ease, popping the cap off to take a drink, his eyes meeting yours.
To this day, you can’t tell if you hate making eye contact with him or if you adore it.
“...Hey.” He answers after swallowing, his gaze darting across your form.
You’re not entirely sure what he’s searching for, but you hope he doesn’t notice anything different in your demeanor.
“I’d say you did good out there but I’d be lying if I implied I knew what I was looking for.” You say, in your usual slightly self-deprecating demeanor.
He scoffs, his eyes rolling slightly. “You don’t need to know anything, it’s me.”
Cocky bastard.
“That’s annoyingly cool of you to say.” You say with a small laugh. “I need to learn some one liners like that from you.”
“I wouldn’t bother trying.” He retorts, pushing his hair back in a move that nearly makes you choke on your saliva from how annoyingly good he looks before speaking again. “...how was your day?”
“Fine.” You answer almost too quickly, before pausing to elaborate.
“Just a regular day I mean, nothing extraordinary happened, unless you count the amount of times that I watched someone trip over that crack on the sidewalk.”
Rin furrows his brow. “What crack?”
“You haven’t seen it? It’s like right outside the window in homeroom, like right by the tree.”
“...is that what you’ve been paying attention to? Not the goddamn teacher?”
“Only sometimes! Besides, I’ve seen like five people almost eat shit, it’s entertaining in it’s own right.”
“You’re hopeless, this is the reason–”
You sigh. “Look, my grades are fine, I’m fine, let’s just move on instead of turning this into another stupid “see this is why you should focus more” speeches.”
He tilts his head at you, squinting like you’ve grown two heads, and you feel both annoyed and weirdly vulnerable under his analytical gaze.
“What?” You ask, almost defensively.
“You…” He says with a small frown. “What’s wrong with you?”
You laugh, though it sounds more like a scoff, and this time it’s more out of a sense of disbelief. “Wow, okay, rude. Do you want my therapist’s notes or something, jackass?”
Immediately after the words leave your mouth you feel yourself regretting them. They’re juvenile, stupid and childish and you can feel your face grow warm.
Great, you can’t even pretend right, what good are you?
His eyes narrow. “Maybe I do, maybe that’ll help me understand why you’re acting like–”
“Like a bitch?” You interrupt.
Oh gods. What are you doing? What is this?
He blinks at you, as if taken aback by your suggestion. “What the hell are you talking about?”
You close your mouth, feeling everything bubble up again inside you, the jealousy, the insecurities, the annoyance, the embarrassment, all of it is swirling inside you and suddenly it just feels like you’re choking on the weight of all of it, like it’s stuck in your throat.
It’s silent for a while, his hard gaze boring into you while you stand there, feeling like a complete idiot, chewing on your tongue while you try to find the will to speak.
He sighs then, breaking the silence between the two of you before speaking again. “...talk to me.”
And you do. You do want to talk to him, whether it’s to brush him off, or to open up, anything would be fine, you just want to speak. But you can’t.
There are too many thoughts, too many things piling up, but you just need to speak, just speak, speak–
He furrows his brow at the continued silence. “...if you have a problem, tell me, but if you’re just going to be childish and give me the silent treatment then this conversation is over.”
Childish? You’re not childish, you just can’t talk, it’s not your fault–
Is it?
Is it your fault?
Gods who are you kidding, of course it’s your fault, you can’t even fucking talk how pathetic is that? No wonder he’s looking at other girls you can barely even hold a goddamn conversation, not to mention, she’s so pretty and you’re not– maybe if you could just write some words down– but fucking hell you’re so childish, he’s right, you’re not ready for a relationship– all you have to do is say something– he must fucking hate you–
It’s only when you have to take a breath that you remember where you are, and Rin is staring at you with a look you haven’t seen before.
Shocked maybe?
But you don’t think you’ve done anything shocking, until you feel a warm tear roll down your face.
Ah shoot. You’re actually a moron, you’re crying. In front of him.
Come on, raise your hand, wipe away your tears, you’re fine.
Move your fucking hand.
Move.
Just do something. Don’t just stand there.
You take a breath, wiping away your tears with your hand.
Good. Now speak.
“...” You part your lips shakily to speak. “I–”
A sob escapes your lips and you slap your hand over your mouth and turn away from him, letting the tears just stream down your face.
“Shit.” Rin says softly from behind you, and you distantly think that if you were watching from an outsider's perspective that this would be hilarious.
Okay, stop, calm down, breathe. You’re fine.
You let out another muffled sob as your breathing runs ragged.
Okay, no, you’re not fine.
“(Name).” Rin says, in a tone so soft you’re almost taken by surprise, and you can feel his presence behind you, closer than before.
He places his hand on your shoulder and gently turns you back to face him, and you notice through watery eyes that his water bottle is back on the bench. You’re not sure why you notice that, but you think it's because you can’t stand to make eye contact right now.
“Listen to me.” He murmurs, his voice soft yet firm. “Breathe slowly, in and out, okay?”
Right. You can do that. In and out.
It takes a few breaths, but eventually you manage to get to the point where your breathing is less rapid, and it’s then that you muster the courage to look him in the eyes again.
It’s a small relief to you that you don’t see any judgment in his eyes, just concern.
“...what’s wrong (Name)?”
It takes you a bit to respond, but you’re finally able to speak after you pull your hand from your mouth, looking at his water bottle again.
“...I’m… ashamed.” You say quietly, and the admission feels like you’re being stabbed in the gut.
“Ashamed?” Rin asks, furrowing his brow again. “Why are you ashamed?”
You don’t even want to begin to explain yourself, but you figure you might as well just get it over with.
“... that girl, she confessed to you. I was jealous– I am jealous, and I feel stupid, because it’s embarrassing and I feel immature.”
He looks at you for a moment, really looks at you and then scoffs.
“You’re…” He pauses and then looks at you, seemingly thinking better of his words before speaking again with a sigh. “...you’re too harsh on yourself.”
You simply shake your head. “No, it’s dumb, and I was mean to you and I was mean to that girl in my head and I shouldn’t have–”
“Then what about me?” He asks sharply.
“What?” You respond, looking back at him again, confusion taking over.
“I–” He starts before huffing out a breath, his cheeks turning pink as he looks away. “You think I’m any better? At least you have the decency to be ashamed.”
You blink, the quiet settling around you.
Well, thinking on it now, it’s not like you’re the only one who’s like that, you’re no stranger to how Rin methodically practices his skills everyday, the way his eyes narrow into a glare when he sees his brother on screen, how he scoffs at your best friend when she hugs you in greeting… he’s just as bad as you, isn’t he?
Obsessive.
Jealous.
“…we’re so silly, aren’t we?” You ask, breaking the silence between the two of you. “So intense all the time, so needlessly absorbed, too emotional… You’re everything I despise about myself, but I don’t hate you. Aren’t we so strange?”
Rin looks at you finally, a complicated look on his face, flickering through emotions.
“Speak for yourself. I’m perfectly logical.” He eventually retorts.
You actually laugh at that, though it definitely sounds weak and shaky even to your own ears.
“…stupid.” You say with a fond smile. “At least I can be honest with myself.”
You look at him for a moment.
“I like to think I’m good with words, at least when I’m not crying, but there’s so much I want to tell you that I can’t say in the way I want to… what on earth can I say to you?”
Rin looks at you, eyes boring into yours, but you can’t seem to find yourself to be intimidated this time. “Dumbass, you don’t need to say anything.”
You look at him, at his stupidly sweet soul that he tries to hide with harsh words, and let out a soft huff, uncharacteristically frustrated.
“…sometimes I want to hurt you, because you make me feel so much. I could rip you apart.”
Rin’s eyes widen, as if surprised by your words, and briefly you fear that you might have overstepped, before his eyes harden into a steely gaze.
“Idiot… you think you’re the only one who feels that way?”
You blink at his words, not expecting his response, much less how surprisingly honest it is.
It’s… This is new.
You expect him to recoil from your words, from your emotions, from you. You expect him to leave. But his response, his understanding, it makes you so… emotional.
You take in a shaky breath, tearing up again.
His reaction to that is instantaneous, his eyes widening in shock, a flicker of regret in his gaze. A beat of silence lapses between you two before he speaks, his tone regretful.
“(Name)… I didn’t mean—”
“No.” You say immediately, though your voice is still shaky as you blink harshly.
“Don’t apologize. And don’t take it back.” You speak, your voice cracking. “I’m not scared. You get me, I get you… we’re a mess, but I’ll never find someone like you, and I don’t want to.”
You take a breath to steady yourself, before speaking again.
“I’m gonna say something, and you don’t have to say it back.” You say, before speaking again, your voice soft but firm. “...I love you.”
You’re not sure what possessed you to say it, those words that have been lurking in you for so long, and you for a moment, seeing his startled face, you wonder if you might have scared him off, if you were moving too fast, or maybe–
“Dumbass.” He says with a soft scoff before cupping your face and pulling you into a kiss.
It’s always so tongue heavy with Rin, and you’ve had to coax him in the past to appreciate a sweet, chaste kiss every once in a while, but you find this time you don’t mind this time as he desperately presses his lips against yours.
It’s his own way of saying it back to you.

Hey there! Glad to see you're back! ♥ Since you say you want headcanon requests... How would all our Uchiha's (mostly Itachi because I'm such a simp for him, but also Shisui, Sasuke, Madara, Obito and Indra and maybe Indra respond if their lover was confirmed to have been captured by enemy forces on a mission or during a war? And how would they respond if/when their lover was recovered alive but showing severe physical and mental damage from the torture they'd endured?
Hey my lovely, happy to be back 🤍
Uchiha reactions to a captured/PTSD suffering S/O
Itachi:
- would absolutely infiltrate enemy lines and retrieve their S/O, without sparing torture on the enemies. This man would torture them tenfold for every injury his S/O was subjected to. He would break their minds with Tsukuyomi and leave no survivors
- would be gentle and patient with his S/O, and it would break his heart to see them so broken after what happened to them. As a pacifist and someone who has a deep hatred for conflict and war, he would be furious and mournful that his SO has to live with the scars of the cruelty of the world
- He would definitely be the type to soothe his SO after nightmares, go for a walk in the moonlight with them to release pent-up stress, and generally be more protective of them. He would inform himself on how to best deal with panic attacks and try to therapise his S/O
- Itachi’s advice and “words of wisdom” may be of comfort but they may also fall flat because he tends to speak from a place of rationality more than emotion, and as a walking embodiment of PTSD, he’s one to talk. But hey, he is quite wise, and he means well.
Obito:
- Would literally go absolutely batshit crazy if his S/O was kidnapped and held hostage by the enemy. Cue the Rin flashbacks. Would destroy the world, burn it to ashes, go to Hell and back and make it rain blood. …Literally. He would be on his most unhinged, insane behaviour
- his SO should expect to never leave his side after that. He will be overprotective, like they are an infant who is at risk of dying with every breath
- would have nightmares about what happened and it would enrage him and break his heart to see his S/O broken by what they endured.
- wouldn’t know what to say or do to console them, except promise to always protect them and never let it happen again
Madara:
- you don’t fuck with Madara’s S/O. If you do, there is an incoming cataclysm your way. He would destroy their lineage for daring to hurting his loved ones. Would definitely worsen the war in an attempt to get revenge
- would be helpless in the face of dealing with PTSD. Madara is a strong person, who grew up not really learning how to express his feelings, and therefore, he doesn’t know how to deal with them
- would be the type to stand a few feet from them, stiff and awkward and boiling with fury and sorrow inside at the sight of their S/O hurting, but somehow, he can’t come up with anything worthwhile to say. Will probably say something like “it’s over now. It won’t happen again” and that’s it
Indra:
- oh boy, you messed up. His S/O is like his most prized possession to him, and no one can take that from him and break one of his things. Takes it more as a personal insult rather than anything else. Will kill everyone who disrespected him like that
- will probably be saddened but also frustrated by his S/O’s inability to get over what happened
- “it’s over now. No point crying about it”. He doesn’t mean to be cruel, but it’s just a matter of stating facts to him.
- what, his S/O doesn’t trust him to keep them safe or something? Do they doubt his strength?
Shisui:
- would definitely activate the other side of Shisui. Would efficiently and ruthlessly kill everyone who sought to hurt the person he loves. He would be there in a second
- the safety and comfort of his S/O after such a horrible ordeal would be his priority. A bit like Itachi, he would always be there to offer comfort, a shoulder to cry on or a distraction in difficult times to follow
- However, unlike Itachi’s therapy sessions, he is more the type to try to lighten the mood and lift his S/O’s spirits. He would make it his mission to make them laugh and keep them happy, sometimes to the point of stifling them and making them feel a little alienated
- if he’s asked to have a serious conversation about what happened, however, he is very serious about it, and very protective and comforting
Sasuke:
- cue a revenge plan. He is not joking around. This man has lost every single person he loved, and if his S/O is abducted and tortured, he is there in the span of 0.1 second raining hellfire on the people who dared hurt a person he loves
- This man is like a big ball of PTSD, and not the best at comforting and offering advice on how to heal. It’s taken him years, a self-discovery journey, an obsessive friend beating him up and exploding his arm to heal. Expect him to be there like a silent presence hovering around his S/O like a cat sensing something is wrong with their favourite person but not knowing what to do about it
- would wake them up from nightmares and sit with them in silence to calmly listen to them vent and cry. Sasuke is a very emotional person underneath, but he thinks he needs to be strong for his loved one, to be a safe haven but mostly an anchor to rely on
- would be terrified himself of losing his S/O again, and therefore be quite overprotective (he stalks his S/O secretly wherever they go)

YOU HAVE 30 UNREAD MESSAGES...
SUMMARY: Rindou loves you and all but...you really aren't supposed to be spamming his phone during a meeting right now.... A/N: This is absolute crack, based off a recent convo and dedicated to my unhinged moot @plebbypebblepleb WARNINGS: Sanzu on drugs and swearing
>>look at this cat I found
>>he's so cute!!!!!!
>>IM GONNA DIE FROM CUTENESS can we pls pls adopt him???
>>never mind
>>HE BIT ME
Rindou felt his eye twitch. He discreetly swiped away the notifications on his pinging phone away under the table. Thankfully no one had noticed yet, although Ran was grinning slyly at him he always was.
Twenty messages.
Barely ten minutes had even gone by in the meeting.
Luckily he had turned off volume for his phone. Mikey wouldn't be too happy to have his Bonten meeting so frequently interrupted so unprofessionally. Rindou didn't have much interest in being laughed at or questioned by the others either.
>>riiiiiiin
>>I was watching some videos
>>would you become a 100 foot boa constructor who eats British children boiled and gets skinned to be used as socks or boots for a Russian lady I consumed three centuries ago (she tasted like coconut)
I'm in a meeting<<
And no???<<
Rindou continued to nod at Mikey's words, doing his utmost best to divide his attention between his rapidly typing fingers and his boss while Ran ducked his head under the table curiously and came up with a wink and a very obvious smirk. Koko eyes them both suspiciously.
He was used to this. Absolutely. One thing that came with dating you was that you had a tendency to spam his phone with updates of what you were doing, odd things you had seen, the most creative of questions and pictures bordering on unhinged.
He wouldn't change it for anything, of that Rindou was certain. He loved you to Pluto and back and in an every day fight he'd take your side over Ran (even despite the elder Haitani’s “miserable” theatrics of supposed betrayal). The texts livened up the dreary work of being part of the number one most wanted criminal gang.
But…
>>I'M NOT FINISHED
>>or drink fruit juice that will give you the seven most deadly diseases
Both are terrible<<
>>[image attached]
WTF<<
>>Like it?? <33
I don't want close up pics of your feet<<
>>how dare you
…it was quite the inconvenience when he was supposed to be working.
Like right now.
Rindou reached up and rubbed his temples. Mikey was getting to the important part and he was really struggling to concentrate. It wasn't like you didn't know he was busy. He had specifically mentioned it today. Rindou couldn't fault you either - this was just your love language and…this was probably revenge for him misplacing your favourite shirt.
He briefly considered ignoring your texts for now, until he could answer them later. But then it'd probably spiral to a 100+ and the vibrations were really starting to get to him. And he did once promise to never ignore anything you said after you apologized for talking too much. You might even call him.
Ugh. What a conundrum.
Ran’s smile widened and a new notification sprang up on Rindou’s phone.
>>Ah ah ah lil bro
>>texting your gf in a meeting?
>>you're very obvious about it
>>I'm sure Mikey will notice soon~~
Great. Two idiots were spamming up his phone now. Couldn't he ever catch a break? He caught Kakucho’s frown at him and adjusted his poker face again.
Shut up<<
You're on your phone too<<
>>I'm just warning you~~
Rindou exhaled sharply and kicked his brother under the table. Childish, but Ran was a child and he deserved it.
>>Rin???
>>guess what!!
>>my fav singer just dropped a new album!!
>>can we buy it later
>>pleaseeeeee
“Haitani Shithead! What are you doing under the table?”
Crap, Sanzu caught him. Rindou shrugged, leaning away from his side-eyeing neighbor. “Nothing, just need to arrange some things on my phone for some debts to be collected,” He lies casually.
The pinkhead is probably too high to realize the holes in the fib. Thankfully he lets it go with another pop of a pill. “Sure, don’t gotta be so secretive.”
“Also, don’t call me Shithead.”

Yes, Rindou wanted to scream, he absolutely had to be secretive…with the cursed pictures you had just sent him. Thirty unread messages already and the meeting wasn’t even ending yet! God, Ran wasn’t helping either - he too was now spamming Rindou’s chat.

You know what, he could make his excuses later. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Rindou massaged his temples again, sighed deeply and looked down on his phone.
He blocked the both of you.
***
Of course it came back to bite his ass when he went home later that night: having taken extreme offense to the block you had promptly banished Rindou out of your once shared bedroom and he was exiled to the couch.
Which was being hogged by Ran who claimed he was there first for his sixth nap of the day.
Maybe next time he should just “lose” his phone before a meeting.

Okay here’s a fun bit of off-the-cuff, unhinged rambling:
So I’ve been playing some Yugioh Duel Links lately, specifically the current Arc-V event focused on Rin and Lulu. And I noticed that Rin has some rather interesting dialogue when summoning both Clear Wing and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragons (for context, the ace-monsters of one of Arc-V’s Shonen-Protags; Yugo. For whom Rin is the plot-designated love-interest).
Stuff like; "I know you'd rather fight by my side than with Yugo!” for Clear Wing Dragon and “A monster this awesome is wasted on Yugo!” for Crystal Wing Dragon.
And not only is it rather interesting and frankly fun for a designated-shonen love-interest to be making comments like that, but she’s also not exactly wrong either…
For one, mechanically-speaking the Clear Wing dragons slot EXTREMELY well into Rin’s Windwitch archetype, which is very effective at getting out Level 7/8+ WIND Synchro monsters. To the point of even being a bit better at it, or at least a bit more reliable/consistent, than Yugo’s own Speedroid archetype.
And aesthetics-wise, the Windwitch’s whole motif is that of Icy Wind. And well…
Clear Wing Dragon, Crystal Wing Dragon, Crystal Clear Wing Dragon…
Sounds like something what would go quite well with an ICE motif, no? Certainly just as well as the ‘speed’ motif of Yugo’s Speedroids. Heck, those crystals on Crystal Wing Dragon look quite a bit like ice crystals, don’t they?
So! With all that in mind, combined with both the fact that Rin frankly deserves another badass ace monster after all the disrespectful shit her series put her through AND how the idea of a designated shonen love-interest making off with the protag’s best cards and possibly even making better use of them is frankly EXTREMELY FUN…
Yeah as far as I’m concerned, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is Rin’s monster now whenever I play Duel Links and will have a permanent place in all of her decks.
And heck, while we’re at it let’s take this idea of Rin using Clear Wing Dragon a bit further and envision the story potential of this.
Consider if you will: An alternate version of Arc-V where Yugo is the one who gets damsel’ed and/or fridged, and RIN comes into possession of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. To the point of even eventually becoming/revealed to be that dragon’s TRUE partner.
Sounds ludicrous, right? After all, Rin is one of the fragments/incarnations of Ray Akaba, who is basically the nemesis of the four Dimension Dragons.
But consider also: This would have made for a way more INTERESTING STORY for Arc-V!
Imagine a version of Arc-V where multiple character, mostly villains/antagonists, spend the show hyping up how the four Yu-boys are ‘destined’ to become one and recreate the terrible Zarc, and that the four bracelet girls are likewise ‘destined’ to become one and recreate Ray in order to stop him.
Only for multiple characters and events across the show to subvert and DEFY this so-called ‘destiny’.
Like say, some of both the ‘Zarc’ and ‘Ray’ fragments rejecting merging together on such a fundamental level that they CANNOT merge like what we saw in the anime?
Or one of the Yu-boys learning a summoning method that perhaps Zarc himself originally rejected? As in, RITUAL summoning.
Or one of Ray’s incarnations defying all conventional expectations and actually bonding with one of Zarc’s Dimensional Dragons, to the point of said dragon rejecting Zarc himself.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds WAY more interesting.
Also, because Clear Wing Dragon seems to be a girl dragon, I am definitely shipping her with Rin for the sake of underappreciated Yugioh yuri*. Heck, it’s a fragment of Ray in love with one of Zarc’s dragons so it’s basically an ‘enemies-to-lovers via reincarnation’ thing XD
--
*NO, not the smug Melvin-wannabe who SHOULD have gotten his ass kicked by Alexis Rhodes.

Fang Runin vs Aelin Galanthynius
This has been a debate for a while. Who would win: Rin from The Poppy War or Aelin from Throne of Glass? The answer is Rin.
Rin's crimes: She committed genocide by burning Mugen to ashes, killing the guilty and innocent. I can understand where she's coming from because of what the Mugenese did to her people and Nikan/Golyn Niis but genocide is still a crime. She also called them animals and that it was necessary. There were innocent women and children that she killed. She threaten to kill a baby and killed a dad in front of his family. Rin is also batshit insane, she would burn Terrasen off the map and not give a single damn.
You think Aelin is unhinged? She's nothing compared to Rin. Aelin may be "morally grey" but Rin is morally black.
I've seen comments say that these two would be friends but there is no way. Aelin has lived some of her life in luxury but Rin has suffered her whole life. And the comment Aelin made about conquering other countries if she was bored is fucking crazy (I haven't gotten to this part so I gotta wait). Rin has dealt with colonization and imperialism in the books.
The Phoenix will not let her lose, she's the last Speerly for a reason. Aelin has her assassin skills but Rin went to Sinegard, the best military school in the country and is one of the martial artists. Rin would find a way to use Aelin's kindness against her.
This is my opinion and I'm sticking with it, I don't see Aelin winning against Rin. And Aelin lost almost all of her power at the end of her series (got spoiled for that) and Rin is dead at the end of her series so...but the only person to kill Rin is herself🤷🏾♀️

One of the things I find so interesting is how Jing is so very much not what a FL’s endgame love interest, especially in an epic xianxia, looks like (I mean in terms of character and narrative, not physical looks. Deng Wei is a ridiculously handsome man, like the rest of XY’s choices.)
I wonder if that is where at least some of puzzlement over XY’s choice/dislike of Jing as endgame that I’ve seen come from.
Jing is NOT the male lead - that is Cang Xuan, XY’s cousin who she never has even a glimmer of romantic feeling or attraction to. But Jing is also not the biggest badass or most magically powerful or most ambitious or with most status or most grand gestures or most epic story or even most outsize interaction with FL (vampy took her on dates to freaking underwater with his magic while Jing got her a practical gadget to use to go underwater herself; Vampy gave up one of his nine lives to heal her; Jing was only able to preserve her body so it would not be beyond saving and also try to die himself. Vampy’s power is battle while Jing is a tracker. Jing’s love is all-consuming and devoted but it’s also quiet.)
Jing does not come out first in anything except possibly torture (tho honestly that’s a bit of an open season on that one) and abnegation for FL’s sake. I mean the three guys are (future) emperor, a legendary rebel general with nine lives and an insane amount of magic and a…wealthy merchant.
And in a lot of ways it goes against the accepted usual narrative. Of course the top alpha dog would get the FL - the biggest bestest dude!!!! There are not many dramas where FL ends up not with ML and the ones I can think of still have a guy with outsize power/not that quiet/unhinged charisma - think of Ji Chang Wook in Empress Ki for example. The closest I can think of is in The King Loves also based on a novel where FL did not end up with the royal ML but the SML, the quiet royal bodyguard (but even there Rin was the best fighter in the drama.)
And of course the other thing that reinforces this whole departure from the usual narrative and can drive frustration is if you look at the three arcs/obstacles to FL for the three men. Cang Xuan is freaking fighting and scheming to win an empire! And accepting the whole drama maxim “love is never fated for an emperor.” Vampy is literally a sworn enemy of XY’s brother and fights to restore the long-defunct kingdom. So we have a would be emperor and a rebel leader. And then Jing’s problem is getting out of his engagement to an awful woman to be free to marry XY and/or leaving his monster family and abandoning his name to follow XY. I can see someone going “that’s nothing!”
BUT!
I love the narrative for getting that to a person living it, it’s all-consuming but also sticking to its guns that who XY will end up with is not about the usual tropes but what makes sense for her as a character. And so there is a reason Cang Xuan is the ML but Jing is the endgame and she does not end up with Vampy either. Cang Xuan’s wishes and plans drive the plot but that is precisely both why Jing is secondary in the plot but the one XY picks - she wants someone who will not drive the plot because what she wants is someone she wants cottagecore life with and there is no plot in cottagecore. The very fact that all Jing yearns for and all he fights for is domestic bliss (a traditionally FL obsession) - even all his scheming to help CX ascend is because he wants to assist FL’s desires - is why she ends up with him.
As she pretty much point blank stated in 33, everyone in her life put her second to a great cause and she’s done with that. The girl does not want a man who will change the world, she wants someone who is content to live in it with her.
ETA: I keep saying it but what the audience would pick in her place remains irrelevant. I mean I would not pick any of the three myself - I don’t feel like eternally sharing my man with 100 women as anyone with Cang Xuan would have to, Vampy’s greatest desire is to perish in the fight and the lack of appeal of that as a dating quality is obvious, and with his fam, marrying Jing would be like marrying into the Manson Family. But I am not XY so here we are.

The Forbidden Taste of You (34)
Amaimon x Reader
This chapter has a lot of smut.
AO3 Friendorfoe22 - if you want to read it from the beginning. I've actually edited the first 20(?) or so chapters, so it flows better.
You disentangle yourself from Amaimon and gaze at the wall, trying to make sense of everything. “This is all so stupid, I shouldn’t have come here," you groan. “Let’s go.”
“Go where?”
Unsure, you shrug and leave the apartment, sending your mother a quick message to inform her know you are leaving. “My dorm? Your room? Where do you want to go?” you ask as you grasp his hand. Amaimon looks at you for a moment before pulling you closer. “And you said I’m insatiable,” he murmurs, pressing his lips against yours. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” you huff as he pulls away.
“Part of being a good mate is knowing when your mate needs you.” He counters, pulling you closer again. “Amaimon.”
“Yes?”
“Shut up, we’re going grocery shopping. I want to try to bake that strawberry lemonade cake.”
--------------------------------------
As Cassian walks through the words, he searches for a spot with a decent clearing. There’s no telling how the idiot will react, and it’s better to be safe than sorry, so he carefully checks for an area where fire can’t spread.
Once he locates the area, he drops some wood and various holy items to help keep the fire contained in one spot.
He watches carefully as the orange flames slowly change to blue.
“Cassian, it’s been too long.”
Cassian furrows his brow at the voice emanating from the blue flame before him. “Why do you sound insane?” The tone is different from the last time he heard his friend speak. He seems utterly unhinged, though given what Cassian has learned recently, perhaps it’s Satan has truly lost his mind.
A manic laugh emanates from the flames, causing Cassian to cringe. “I heard your beloved daughter has fallen in love with one of my sons.”
“Yes,” Cassian sighs, narrowing his eyes at the flickering flame. “Amaimon.”
The flames grow larger as the manic laughter starts anew. “I’m surprised you permit it; he is the weakest of the kings.”
Cassian glances at the flames with an unimpressed expression. “As long as he loves her, I couldn’t care less. I’m strong enough to protect my family."
Satan laughs once more. "Still, The Demon King of Earth. I am curious as to why you would willingly hand over your precious daughter to him of all people."
The air around Cassian grew colder at the mention of Amaimon, yet he kept his stoic composure intact. "Idiot, I didn’t hand her over to anyone. Anyway, I’ve heard you have two biological half-human children of your own. I’ve also heard you intend to use one of them as a vessel.”
“Yes! Rin Okumura, he’s almost-”
“I don’t want to hear details of how you plan to use your son merely as a vessel.” Cassian sighs; this was not the conversation he wants to have with his best friend. He had just wanted to know whether or not it is true; he can’t help but wonder if Satan would still seek to use them if he had been the one raising them. Cassian could never imagine harming _____ in such a way. Yet, he has his own vessel, and he knows it’s much easier for angels. “I wanted to confirm something with you,” Cassian says with a heavy sigh. “You’ll leave my family alone. Honestly, after hearing you speak just now, I felt the need to check; you sound absolutely insane.”
Satan’s voice slightly levels out to sound somewhat more normal. “Cassian, you’re my only friend. As long as you don’t stand with them, I won’t let any harm come to your daughter from my side.”
Cassian frowns at the flame. “My wife too.”
The flames slightly flare up once again. “Fine, fine.”
“My family is important to me," Cassian muttered under his breath, his voice barely rising above the crackling flames.
A stillness envelops the scene before soft laughter flickers back to life amidst the flames. “Oh, Cassian,” Satan drawls mockingly. “We shall see how long that lasts."
Cassian scoffs as he stands up and reaches for the jug he brought with him. “I love my family," he declares bluntly, pouring the holy water over the flames, cutting the connection with his old friend.
There are many things he had wanted to ask Satan, but Satan is clearly not all there at the moment, and he’s not interested in speaking to a crazy person. “I can’t imagine wanting to use my own child as a vessel. It’s disgusting.”
-----------------------------------
“Try this," you say, holding a spoon to his lips. The lemon curd is still warm; it will taste even better once it’s cold, but you’re curious to see if he’ll like it. He opens his mouth and looks thoughtful for a moment. “Well? Do you like it?”
He gives a sly smirk, a playful glint in his eyes as he leans closer, his breath warm against your skin. His lips meet yours softly at first, teasingly, before deepening the kiss. With gentle force, he slips his tongue into your mouth. The sharp, tangy flavor of lemon bursts into your mouth, enveloping your senses. “Do you like it?” He throws your question back at you while kissing your cheek.
“Idiot, I already knew I liked lemon. Do you like it? Maybe you should wait until it’s cold to get a better- Leave the mark alone!” You pinch his hips as he runs his tongue along the mark on your throat. “Can you go twenty-four hours without touching it?” you huff. “Do you want me to go twenty-four hours without touching it?” He gently nibbles at the mark as he questions you. You bite your tongue. “Hm, that’s what I thought.” He teases. Suddenly, Amaimon's lips are no longer on the mark but whispering into your ear. "There's something else I'm more eager to taste," he mumbles in a sultry voice.
You gently push against his chest while playfully admonishing him, "Don’t forget, we have cakes in the oven." The faint aroma of the cakes and lemon curd wafts through the kitchen.
"Hmm," Amaimon replies nonchalantly, effortlessly beginning to undo the button on your jeans without even glancing at it. His gleaming gold eyes remain fixed on yours—predatory yet playful—sending a shiver cascading down your spine.
His lips graze the sensitive area just below where the jaw meets the neck, while his cool fingers slip into your already loosened jeans, igniting an instant blush across your cheeks.
It all happens swiftly—too quickly for rational thought to catch up. Your back presses against the countertop as his fingers glide over your covered slit, eliciting soft gasps swallowed by lazy kisses. “Amaimon, not in the kitchen,” you grumble against his lips. Amaimon withdraws his hand from your pants and glances at the sofa behind you. “Take off your pants and lie back on the sofa; we have plenty of time.”
You shake your head at him and slip free from his loose grip, creating some distance between the two of you. "The cakes, we don’t have enough time." you remind him again with an exasperated sigh. Amaimon's smirk remains steady, becoming more pronounced as he leans casually against the kitchen counter, nonchalantly popping a piece of candy into his mouth. For most, that grin would send shivers down their spines, an unmistakable indication of his inhuman nature as a demon. Yet, here you are, drawn to him, unable to resist his charm.
"Let them burn," he drawls carelessly.
“No, I’ve worked hard on them.”
“_____, I want to eat you out.”
“Amaimon, don’t say it like that!”
“Well, my beloved mate, " he says sarcastically. “Remove your bottoms and lie on the sofa so you can receive what only I can give you.”
“Here," he mutters nonchalantly, tossing a pillow onto the plush sofa—its intentions clear. It's not so much an invitation or request but rather... a command wrapped in sweet expectancy. He pushes you back against the sofa and quickly crawls over you.
His hands wander back to your waist, maintaining eye contact as his fingers tease the edges of your denim. Slowly, they shimmy down the pants that hug your curves like a second skin. “Still acting shy?" Amaimon cajoles seductively while coaxing off stubborn material inch by inch until there’s nothing left but naked skin marred with ownership marks only visible to him. His tongue darts out, licking his lips in eager anticipation.
As you narrow your eyes, he raises a brow. “If my touch bothers you…" Amaimon offers in amusement, his tone clearly teasing, as he raises his hands.
"No," you rush to refute him, words tumbling out too quickly for clear articulation. "It doesn't bother me," you admit weakly under his unyielding gaze.
"I know it doesn't," he replies, sounding rather smug about how much power he holds over you with just a few light touches. He playfully nips at your lower lip before pulling away, leaving behind a lingering taste reminiscent of sweet candies.
He leans back to sit on his heels and spreads your legs. “Do you always have to stare?” you complain, attempting to close your legs, but he refuses, forcing you to keep them open. “You smell so good, my queen,” he groans, completely ignoring your complaints before lowering his head to run his tongue along your slit. “And taste even better.”
"Shut up," you groan, a mix of annoyance and pleasure in your tone as you weakly try to swat his head away. However, Amaimon merely chuckles darkly at your feeble attempt, his hands firmly holding your thighs apart as he continues his ministrations.
Your body betrays your protests as a moan of pleasure escapes your lips. A low hum resonates against your sensitive skin, causing another shiver to course through you — Amaimon laughs softly without halting his movements, his golden eyes sparkling with devilish amusement as they meet yours.
"Mmm," he purrs, the vibration sending a thrill through your body. "Delicious." His fingers trace delicate patterns on your inner thighs as his tongue ventures deeper. Each lick and each nibble sends tiny electric shocks through your body and puts your mind in disarray.
In the background, the oven timer dings, but you barely notice. Amaimon is a master of distraction, especially when his complete attention is on you like this. You squirm against plush cushions; a lustful moan slips past parted lips, luring him further into intoxicating heat until there's nothing left but blissful pleasure and Amaimon.
"Someone's enjoying this," he chuckles against heated skin. His fingers slip inside you with ease as his tongue swirls around your nub. The dual sensation pushes you to the edge faster than you thought possible.
Ignoring the rush of pleasure, you attempt to push Amaimon away, blindly pointing toward the oven. "The cakes could burn…" Your voice is breathy and uneven.
He gazes up at you, his golden eyes swirling with amusement. "Let them burn," he replies languidly before returning to his previous obsession – lost in savoring your sweet taste.
As Amaimon continues his tantalizing acts, you give up on reminding him about the cakes. Your fingers thread through his dark green hair, tugging him closer.
He continues his ministrations, letting your pleasure build, drawing out intense sensations before he curls his fingers and sucks gently on your clit, pushing you over the edge. It's an exhilarating experience that leaves you breathless and satisfied beneath him.
Amaimon straightens, his golden eyes glimmering with wicked delight. His green hair is tousled as a result of your earlier tugging. He flicks his tongue out lazily to moisten his lips, savoring your lingering essence. With a pleased smirk, he gazes at you, exuding an air of smug satisfaction.
You attempt to slow your breathing to a normal pace, but it's challenging with Amaimon's eyes fixed on you. He gently presses a kiss to your forehead.
You lie there for a moment before shooting up. “My cakes!” You quickly grab the underwear he tossed aside and rush to the oven. Thankfully, Amaimon didn’t keep you on the sofa for much longer after the timer went off. “I hope they aren’t dry," you mutter to yourself as you pull the cake from the oven. You added a water bath, so they should be fine, and the lemon curd should help mask any dryness. Amaimon follows behind you, watching closely as you pull the three cakes from the oven.
As the three cool on the rack, Amaimon steps behind you and wraps his arms around your waist. “I didn’t say we were finished. Don’t you want more?” he whispers in your ear, gently biting the mark on your throat.
“You’re so horny.”
“Yes, but you smell so good, I can’t help it.” He groans, slightly grinding against you while tugging at your underwear again. “My queen, let’s go to bed.”
"But," you start to object, attempting to put up a fight in the name of unfinished culinary tasks. You should probably make the icing. You know the mark has strengthened his insatiable appetite for you and his expectation that you’ll comply immediately. "
Amaimon must have detected the feeble resistance in your voice because he skillfully redirects your attention, his hands gliding upwards to cup your breasts and a low growl escaping his lips. “The cakes won't run away,” he murmurs into your ear.
“I have to make the icing.”
“You can do it tomorrow.” His hot mouth finds a sensitive spot behind your ear, his teeth nipping softly at your skin before his tongue soothes it. “Leave them. I want you.”
“You just had me.” You try to sound exasperated, but the truth is you are finding it extremely hard to resist his advances.
“Well...” Amaimon's voice lowered to a sultry whisper as he pressed even closer against you. “I’m not satisfied yet.”
"But-"
"Shhh," he whispers, his lips tracing your neck. His fingers delicately roll your nipple between them, causing you to gasp. "No more talking about those cakes, my queen."
He snakes one hand back around your waist, the other still occupied with the tender flesh of your breast. With a swift movement, he tugs your underwear down, letting it pool around your ankles before kicking it aside.
You let out a sharp gasp as his fingers come in contact with your still-sensitive folds, his thumb expertly finding your clit. His ministrations are slow but relentless, each gentle swipe of his thumb sending waves of pleasure through you.
"Off to bed," he murmurs against your skin, nipping at the lobe of your ear playfully as he picks you up. He doesn't give you any chance to protest or reciprocate his touches; he's finished playing games - now he's all about claiming.
With a soft thud, Amaimon deposits you on the bed before he crawls above you in one fluid motion. His golden eyes take in every inch of you lying under him; he looks absolutely mesmerized by the sight, making you blush under his intense gaze. He quickly removes the rest of your clothing.
“Are you ready for me?" His voice is a mere husky whisper, and it sends shivers down your spine.
“No.”
“No?” He pauses, looking confused, and pulls away. “Is something-” You cut him off by pushing him onto his back, your face burning as you stare down at the wide-eyed king. Before he has a chance to question your actions, your hands reach for the button on his pants. He huffs and unbuttons his shirt, allowing you to remove his pants. He’s bare a couple of minutes later, watching with slight amusement as you grasp him. “Ah, my queen is just as addicted to me.” He laughs, reaching out to place his hand on the back of your head. “Go ahead then.”
You make a playful pout before placing your lips onto him, the deep rumble of pleasure he emits sending sparks of anticipation through your body. You leisurely run your tongue along the rigid length, reveling in the way he writhes under your caress. His fingers entangle themselves in your hair, directing your actions.
His voice is a guttural groan, urging for more as he pushes his hips upwards in search of that scorching warmth. He directs your head lower, and before long, you're taking him all in. With a soft pop, you pull back only to descend again, keeping your gaze locked with his. His usually golden eyes are now wide and dark, brimming with intense desire that sends shivers down your spine. It excites you.
"_____, you’re perfect." Amaimon breathes out heavily, the praise making your heart flutter. Your pace quickens as you feel him hardening further in your mouth. The salty taste and musky scent intoxicate you, making your mind go fuzzy with desire.
"That's enough," he grunts, finally pulling you off of him with a bit more force than necessary. In an instant, he flips both of you over, so now he's on top, and you're underneath him. "Why?" you whine in disappointment; it's embarrassing to admit, but his taste is addicting, and you want him to release down your throat once more. However, you can't bring yourself to say those words.
“Because I want to cum inside you.”
“Technically-” You’re cut off as he slips himself inside you, letting out a low groan as he does. Your nails dig into his back at the sensation.
"Feels good?" His voice is strained, husky with his own pleasure. He bends to nuzzle the curve of your neck as he fills you, each inch driving a gasp from your lips. He bites the mark, and your hips jerk at the sensation. You wonder for a moment if the mark will always be this sensitive during sex or if it is just for a short time.
Always..." The word feels strained against the onslaught of sensations. You cradle his face in one hand and draw him in for a hungry kiss, delighting at how eagerly he returns it—how hungrily those sharp canines nibble on your lower lip.
Amaimon's pace picks up slightly as he draws back from the kiss and starts pushing into you again, deeper this time. Every thrust shakes through both of you like an electric current coursing through every nerve ending until white hot spots dance around your vision, threatening to pull all coherent thoughts away.
He gasps and goes rigid for a moment before relaxing into it, his rhythm changing to long, languid strokes that make him nearly pull out entirely on each withdrawal.
"You like...this?" His words are choppy between thrusting movements, anything beyond the ecstasy strangling rational thought left unuttered. The bed creaks under the strain of Amaimon's relentless motion.
You nod furiously despite not knowing whether or not you understood what he said- all too focused on how deliciously good he feels inside—how every stroke sends searing waves of pleasure through your body, arching against his, seeking more than just skin-on-skin contact.
"Look at me," Amaimon commands hoarsely, breaking away from kissing along the side of your neck covered in fresh bite marks overlaid upon older faded ones. “I love you.” He whispers, leaning down to sweetly press his lips against yours.
Suddenly, Amaimon switches tactics at just the right angle. You groan loudly, clutching onto him desperately, suddenly realizing why he adjusted his approach. Each thrust is torturously measured, now hitting deeper than before, making tears prick at the corners of your eyes from the sheer intensity.
He hooks one leg around his waist, giving himself better access while the other hand rests on damp sheets. His tail wraps around the leg on his waist. "I love--" Your words are swallowed by his lips as they crash onto yours again, desperate and needing. The kiss is hot and fervent.
He pulls back slightly to align himself better at your entrance before he slams back into you, making stars explode behind closed eyelids from overwhelming pleasure enveloping every inch inside-out.
The sensation spurs him on—his pace quickening as your climaxes approaches for both of you until you finally release each throbbing nerve end. He reaches his climax a few moments later, his warm seed filling you. You groan at the feeling.
He collapses atop you then – sticky skin clinging against each other. You reach up to run your hand through his hair. “I love you too.” He hums, showing he heard you, lifting his head to kiss you. “You’re perfect for me.” He whispers against your lips. “It only took thousands of years for me to find you.” You grin. “It only took me eighteen years.”
Amaimon nods, “You made me wait a ridiculously long time.”
"Better late than never," you whisper back with a smile, your hand tracing the familiar lines of his cheek.
He merely grunts in response before nuzzling into your neck, his hot breath fanning over your skin and making you shiver. His arms wrap around you, pulling you even closer against his body if that was even possible. “You should take a bath.” He comments, pinching your hip.
“Do I smell bad?”
“No, you smell amazing,” he murmurs against your skin, the vibrations sending tingling sensations coursing through your veins. His long fingers trace lazy circles on your back. “Too amazing, come on, I’ll get in the bath with you.” You tug on his tail. “You want to bathe in my dorm building?”
He sits up and reaches for his pants at the foot of the bed; digging in the pockets, he pulls out a key. “No, let’s go back to my room.”

Writer Questionnaire
Thanks @drchenquill, @the-letterbox-archives, @the-golden-comet and @ominous-feychild the tags!
I haven’t posted in a little bit because of real life, but I might be back soon. I miss you guys…
how long have you had your writing tumblr/writeblr? a fast and loose estimate is fine!
Just over a month.
what led you to create it?
I wanted to chat about my world and I really didn’t like the atmosphere in other social medias.
what’s your favourite thing about the writeblr community?
All of the talent and love <3 Making this account has motivated me to plan 3 different WIPs and write the first few chapters. I had never been able to get to this place before, so thank you everyone!
what’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you?
Feel free to ask things. Even if it is just a hello! I love interacting with people, any questions about my world or my writing process. Or Physics if you are particularly curious…
is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash?
I like my dash. Lots of great people!! I wouldn’t really change anything.
which wips or writing projects are you noodling about, lately?
I have just finished by full outline of the Xaeren WIP and have written a draft of chapter one. I have also finished chapter 3 of Paeliae.
how long have you been working on them?
Well I started building the world years ago, just daydreams, maps and languages. I wrote the history mostly last year and this year and then the characters developed from the places and history.
do you remember what inspired them/what got you started?
The world was a project I started just for fun, then acted as a setting to tell stories in. I then liked the stories a lot and decided to write them.
how much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?
A long time. Not even just my current characters, many many more people who don’t even fit in this world as well.
when someone asks the dreaded, “what do you write about,” question, what do you usually say?
Umm… I say Sci-fi fantasy, and worldbuilding, then when they look blankly at me I say like tolkein and then they leave me alone.
name any characters you created. side characters, protagonists, antagonists, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!
The main characters in chronological order:
-Ez and Rin (they are the the first romantic relationship I wrote and I love them.)
-Paeliae (His story describes the dissolution.)
-Xaeren (The inventor of most runes and the last godkiller.)
-Apollo and Tyro (Essentially modern day)
-Marsh and Daimion (I’m still not sure how future-ish I want this.)
who’s the most unhinged?
That really depends.
I’m sure lots of people would expect Marsh, but while he has no internal rules against murder, he keeps closely to the rules he does hold for himself and is really loyal when it comes down to it. Even if he doesn’t realise this he does care deep in some hidden part of him.
Xaeren cares the least about his own moral code. The only motivator he has is killing the goddess, and there is nothing he won’t do to get there regardless of the fact he knows it is wrong. He assumes he will die in the attempt so lives like a dead man because he has no life beyond this purpose. He might appear kind at first but you will always be second to his mission.
who comes the most naturally for you to write?
Apollo or Marsh. Apollo because he is lovely, I always like writing him comfort the team and also his fight scenes are really cool. Marsh because he acts so carefree and his humour is great.
do you ever cringe at them?
Yes. Mainly because I hate my writing, but also I just don’t like writing romance in general, so writing Zahra and Daimion has always been a bit weird. Strangely I never got that vibe with Ez and Rin, that might be because they are such a beautiful tragic couple that the story feels less like a romance.
how much control do you feel you have over your characters? do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? to what degree? are some less cooperative than others?
Well… I have a very clear idea of who they are and would much sooner change a plot point than a character so in that sense I have little control, but also they are my people so I can get them to cooperate.
do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? and do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? for example, as asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on ao3, etc.
Yes!!! I love it, any method is great! I am more likely to see asks and reblogs, but anything works!
what makes you want to follow another writeblr account? do you follow ‘em as you see ‘em, or take time scoping out the blog to make sure you align with its content? do you follow based on wips, or vibes?
Vibes. If they seem cool, I will follow them. I’ll likely do a quick check to make sure that they seem like a real person and that they make posts that I would like to see, but this is not usually based on their WIP type.
what makes you decide against following?
If I wouldn’t like to see their posts, I won’t follow them. This could be for many reasons, but common ones include: They seem like a bot, they post overobscene stuff, they make me feel uncomfortable, etc.
do you interact with non-mutuals often?
Sometimes, but if I interact with someone I am likely to then follow them.
do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle?
Yes! I have so many peoples characters whom I love and cherish.

isagi thinking he's normal when really he's the most unhinged bc his brain does NOT work like a normal person's. He just looks more normal from the outside until he gets on the field! Which part have you gotten up to? are you reading the manga or watching the anime? I actually saw the ads for the anime and ended up reading the entire available manga before the anime even aired lololol
Im blitzing though the manga. I have just met Rin and I can tell he’s gonna be the MOST unhinged teenager. The asshole sports rival vibes are terminal. I diagnose him with bitch baby who’s gonna get got behind the waffle house at 3 am
(The tech in this manga makes no goddamn sense! Compels me though :) Sure you can have a goaltending hologram based on the best players in the world. Why the fuck not. )
isagi is HYSTERICAL as a sports manga protagonist. It’s like the author took a stereotypical dude from the end of a soccer manga and decided to ctrl-z all the Sports Morals he learned out of his head one by one. He’s a protagonist in reverse. He actively decides to become a Worse Person!
I am having so much fun in case you couldn’t tell
#Has anyone read whistle! ?#The other soccer manga I’ve read (if I had a nickel for every soccer manga I’ve read etc etc). It’s way more typical of a sports manga thou#But it’s like the author took sho and made him a sociopath when he’s playing! It’s so jarring!!#It’s just soccer but they take it so seriously 😂😂😂😂#I can’t get over it I love everyone in this club#You’ve got questions we’ve got answers#blue lock

August Reading Log
My August was full of political machinations, capricious gods, trauma recovery, and outrageous amounts of slow-burn mutual pining, yes even in the smutty books. I finished seven books this month and DNFed one. Overall, I had a great time and I’m excited to continue several of the series that I started.
First off, I finished Godkiller by Hannah Kanner. This is book one of The Fallen Gods series and it was a fun fantasy adventure with good characters and an interesting world. Kissin, one of the main characters has very strong Geralt from The Witcher vibes, and she, along with Skedi, a minor god of white lies were my two favorite characters. It was quite short for an adult fantasy, so in some ways, it felt more like a teaser than a full novel, but it still packed in some cool world-building details and set up a larger quest for our protagonists along with a mystery to solve. So I’m invested enough to keep reading the series. I’ve already purchased the second book, Sunbringer.
Meanwhile, I listened to The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky, written by N. K. Jemisin and narrated by Robin Miles. These are the second and third books in The Broken Earth trilogy that started with The Fifth Season. I had previously listened to the first few chapters of The Obelisk Gate but then lost steam and set it aside. This time I was determined to finish the whole series and god, it was so worth it.
Some people will tell you that The Fifth Season can function as a standalone and while they are technically correct, the first book is just the tip of the iceberg. You don’t understand even half of what is actually going on until you are at least a few chapters into The Obelisk Gate, and most of the real answers and resolutions don’t come until The Stone Sky. This series as a whole is a masterpiece of narrative structure, world-building, and character-building. It is so worth the effort it takes to finish all three books.
After Godkiller and The Obelisk Gate, I was in the mood for something more romantic, so I picked up A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows. This is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read. Val is possibly the most sympathetic, multi-dimensional, nuanced depiction of a sexual assault victim I’ve ever seen. And it’s within a larger story about slowly becoming a happier, healthier, kinder, and braver version of yourself when you are suddenly removed from a hostile environment and placed in one where you can thrive in the open. I think one of my favorite quotes from Val sums it up really well, “I have lived a cramped life, it seems. So shy of having my greatest indiscretion discovered that I seldom dared indulge in the simpler ones.”
Moving directly from such a tender love story to a filthy monsterfucker romance might seem unhinged. But the heart wants what the heart wants and I wanted A Bone in His Teeth by Kellen Graves. I went in expecting eerie atmospheric coastal settings, a smattering of the kind of delicious body horror only non-cis people seem able to write, and lots and lots of freaky genderfucker monster smut, and boy howdy this book delivered on all that, and then some. What I was not expecting was a surprisingly tender love story about two people who could never quite fit right into the unjust systems they were born into and chose to burn it all down for the chance of finding a way to fit all their jagged, broken edges together. Alba is my favorite protagonist of any book I’ve read this year, and Eridanys is a literal force of nature with two dicks and a thirst for human flesh in more ways than one. This is Graves’ best book yet and I cannot wait to read what they publish next.
Riding the high of several delightful books in a row, I started Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco with confidence that I had another banger on my hands. With vampires, body horror, a gloomy atmosphere, and a poly romance, this book had a lot of elements that I expected to love. However, the clunky prose, sloppy world-building, and meandering plot so drastically reduced my enjoyment of the book that I abandoned my read at 70%.
Needing a palette cleanser after that, I turned to a guaranteed hit and picked up A Restless Truth by Freya Marske. And Marske did not miss! This is the sequel to A Marvelous Light which I read earlier this year and loved, so I was excited to pick it up. Marske is a master of character-driven smut, a.k.a. Sex scenes that serve a purpose to the story and reveal aspects of the characters we would not otherwise know. The setting and core murder mystery were also excellent and kept the plot moving at a decent clip. Maude had been one of my favorite side characters from the first book, so having her as one of the main characters really worked for me. Her love interest, Violet was charismatic and brought her own interesting baggage both to the plot and to her romance with Maude. On the craft level, Marske is one of my favorite authors working today. Her prose is so bright and evocative in both its emotional and physical details. Her settings are lush and full of historical easter eggs. And her characters breathe with multi-dimensional life. I have one book left in The Last Binding series and I will probably devour it this month, seeing as it just arrived in the mail this week.
My final read of the month didn’t quite measure up to A Restless Truth, but I still had a fun time with Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell. This was another arranged marriage romance set against a backdrop of courtly intrigue, espionage, and a fantastical setting, except this time it was a space opera instead of a historical fantasy. I thought Maxwell struck a good balance between romance elements and space opera elements. The settings were appropriately grand and gorgeous in scale and the political web was an effective tangle of different conflicting interests with no clear immediate solution. However, I felt that the two main characters lacked dimension and uniqueness. I fear part of the problem was that I had so recently read A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, and Winter’s Orbit just could not stand up to the inevitable comparison. Still, it was an easy, entertaining read that kept me engaged while stuck in bed on a sick day. Maxwell has a second book set in this universe and I think I will probably pick it up at some point.
Overall, it was a great reading month with only one dud. For September, I have a few books I know that I want to get through. While I don’t keep a strict order to my TBR, I know I want to finish The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri for my local book club (I’m about ⅓ of the way through at the moment). I am also still listening to A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, which is really starting to pick up in the second half. One of my most anticipated reads of the year, Reclaimed by Seth Haddon arrived in the mail this week, along with the conclusion to The Last Binding trilogy, A Power Unbound by Freya Marske. So, while I’m not certain of what I’ll finish this month, I have a few suspicions of what I will gravitate towards.
Hope you all had as good of a reading month as I did. Let me know what your best book of the month was and what you thought of any of the books I read this month. If you pick up any of the books I recommended, please let me know your thoughts. I’m especially excited to talk to anyone else who reads A Bone In His Teeth. It was such a unique read!
