Imagine being Azula’s favourite friend who she recruits first. The two of you have always had an unspoken attraction which neither of you were brave enough to acknoweldge...until you save her life and Azula decides to reward you

Background

You and Azula attended the academy together and had initially started as rivals. You were an above-average fire bender and because she didn’t know you Azula saw that as a threat. So she made it her mission to ruin your life when one day she found you arguing with Zuko. You didn’t hesitate to yell at him or point out his faults and from that moment on Azula knew she’d misjudged you. Azula be-friended you and you became a part of her group. Over time you became her favourite. She trusted you and could feel your loyalty to her, which was something she grew to respect more and more as Mai was compromised by Zuko and Ty lee became even more whimsical. You soon became inseparable and as the friendship grew it began to feel like more...you realised you liked Azula as more than a friend. You enjoyed every second you spent together and thought she felt the same. The tension between you grew and although Azula would grow flustered around you when you flirted with her she never reciprocated your feelings openly. You were heartbroken but understood that falling for the princess of the fire nation hadn’t been a very smart decision on your part. So needing some space to mend as soon as you graduated from the academy you joined the army. It hurt to be around Azula every day and to know you could be something great together if only your nation was more progressive. So you ran away from the situation and didn’t see Azula for years. You managed to stop thinking about her constantly after a few weeks and soon your heart didn’t feel as broken anymore...but you knew deep down you still cared about her. The princess would always be your first love.

Your POV

The army was tougher than the fire nation academy for many reasons. For one your name, reputation and grades didn’t matter once you passed through the doors. They didn’t care if you'd sparred with the best fire benders or got the highest grades in combat skills for ten years, you were reduced to a number and treated as one. You hated every second of it but the alternative was to return to your family and you’d take anything over that so you stuck it out.

One day all the recruits were ordered to wear their best clothes and report to the large training hall which could only mean one thing. Someone wanted to buy troops. High ranking generals or rich businessmen could hire trainees for missions or any jobs they needed completing. The buyer could choose who they wanted after watching you all in training and you would then decide if to accept or not. You took every opportunity you could and so stared straight ahead for inspection, trying your best to look hirable when a voice broke your resolve. "I’m looking for something in particular" Azula told your trainer and you only just managed to keep your head forward but a small smirk broke out on your face. Azula spotted you and walked down the line slowly before stopping in front of you. "Well, well who do we have here?" she asked. You looked up at her and matched her smile "long time no see huh?". Your trainer was horrified at the way you addressed the princess and rushed to yell at you when Azula cut him off with a laugh. She took your arm and you hugged her tightly. Your stomach exploded in butterflies and you clutched her tightly, you’d missed Azula dearly. "Your highness i don’t know what...i’m sorry for this one’s behaviour" the trainer started obliviously and Azula rolled her eyes "are they all as dumb as you? Obviously i know y/n". You smirked and Azula was spurred on by that beautiful expression she’d missed. "You really have no idea who she is?" Azula asked laughing "this is y/n l/n, her father is friends with my father and she is a personal friend to the royal family. To hear you haven’t treated her appropriately is very displeasing" Azula frowned and you smiled as your usually cruel and horrible trainer shook. "I’m sorry we had no idea who she was! We will treat her better, promote her actually" he babbled. "No that won’t do" Azula said "and that wont be necessary, y/n will be leaving with me for a job and won’t be coming back here". The guard hesitated "i...you can’t just take a recruit". "I’m not but i could" Azula growled "i think you’ll find it’s more y/n quits". "She can’t quit" the guard replied “she made an oath” and Azula raised an eyebrow in response "are you tell me what i can do? Are you telling a noblewoman what she can do? Any debt she owes you will be wiped by my command, understand?" Azula barked. The trainer paled but nodded "yes princess" and bowed his head. "Good" Azula nodded and she strode with you right out of the front doors.

Azula brought you to the lodgings she was staying at in the nearest town and you were amused to see it had been given the royal treatment. Red everywhere, freshly polished surfaces as far as the eye could see, gold and silver decorations lay on every available service and of course a large portrait of the fire lord hung on the wall. Over a lavish dinner Azula told you the mission making you realise you’d accepted and left the army without even asking for any details. You were fine with hunting the avatar and Zuko with Mai and Ty lee but you also recognised you would’ve accepted almost any mission Azula gave you because you’d been so happy to see her. Azula had always had this effect on you and time apart hadn’t done anything to lessen that. You were as much in love with her now as you were the day you left two years ago.

After dinner Azula led you to your shared apartment, it contained two bedrooms with ensuites and a large living room which you were pleased to see and you sunk into the sofa happily. "Your hair’s shorter" Azula commented suddenly and you nodded touching it self consciously "yeah it was a target in sparring". Azula scoffed "seriously? Don’t they teach the other recruits proper fire bending moves as opposed to childish tricks?". You shrugged "they told us to win by any means. That it doesn’t have to look good so long as you win". Azula laughed again "amateurs all of them! Of course it should look good". You smirked "well when it comes so easy to you" and glanced over her. Azula shrugged but had a large smile on her face "well I suppose I have been blessed in that aspect". You laughed again and smiled "this is nice". Azula smiled too "it is" and you locked eyes for several seconds before she looked away slowly. Azula stood up abruptly "we should get some sleep we’re moving on foot tomorrow to go get Ty lee and then Mai". You were excited at the thought of seeing your old friends and grinned "great! Also don’t think i didn’t notice you came for me first" you called as Azula made her way towards her room. She halted and you smirked "I always knew i was your favourite but really Azula to make it so obvious" you grinned and Azula paused. You walked to your own room and Azula finally responded "i always made it obvious you’re my favourite, it’s nothing new" and went into her room.

You stepped into your own room and leant back against the closed door blushing vividly from the encounter with Azula. You’d spent all your time in the army trying to convince yourself your relationship with Azula was purely platonic. That the fact your heart sped up whenever you thought of her or how you dreamt of her often was just because you were close friends. You managed to convince yourself you weren’t in love with Azula and that she didn’t feel anything for you either but less than a day with her and you knew that was a lie. You couldn’t deny the way she made you feel and how she smiled at you in a way she never did with anyone else...as much as it made you nervous your realisation also excited you. You couldn’t wait to be around Azula again and felt a happy glow spread over you. You settled in your bed, a smile still on your face and burrowed into the exquisite cushions. You expected to fall to sleep easily but a while later you were still awake. You frowned confused as to why. You were happy, you were with Azula and the bed was comfy so why couldn’t you sleep? You figured maybe the bed was too soft compared to what you were used to in the army so went into the living room to try the sofa. You laid down and realised this was better, more like the beds back at the military. You had just closed your eyes when Azula’s door opened. "Trouble sleeping?" she asked and you nodded "i think the bed’s too comfy". Azula laughed "i thought the opposite, really y/n your taste has worsened in our time apart". You shrugged "it’s better than what i’ve been sleeping on for the last 9 months". Azula lay down on the sofa next to you and you looked at her. You didn’t ask why after finding her own bed soooo uncomfortable she came to lay on a sofa barely a foot from where you were and just enjoyed the silence. “So, anything else i missed you didn’t put in your letters?” you asked. Azula hadn’t written to you much at the academy and honestly that had been a good thing. You’d have just missed her more than you already had but she did send brief updates once a month. Azula nodded "probably tons, i couldn’t write often". You didn’t point out she wrote to you on the first of each month religiously instead you turned on your side to look at her. Mai and Ty lee had also written to you but you’d noticed compared to their letters and the changes in their lives Azula’s had been...well boring. You felt almost sorry for her, you’d all moved away to different things but Azula had been stuck at home with a father who was cruel, the ghost of a cold mother and the memory of a banished brother. Azula quickly discussed some events that had happened and then also turned on her side to face you. "What about you then? How was military life really?". You shrugged "not as i expected". "I knew that job would be awful" Azula commented "why did you stay so long then?". You sighed "well i liked some parts of it, the physical training was similar to what we did in the academy which i liked, the mental tests were better, they made me use all my brain". "That’s a first" Azula chimed in and you rolled your eyes "i liked those parts of it...could’ve done without the abuse from the trainers, food restrictions and ban on leaving". Azula raised an eyebrow "remember what i always told you y/n no self-pity, you could’ve left at any time. You chose not to". You thought Azula sounded a bit angry when she said that but you shrugged "i could but that would have meant going back home not coming back to the capital and I’d rather fight all the trainers at once than that" you said through gritted teeth and Azula saw you’d tensed. She recalled you never got along with your family but she hadn’t realised they were part of the reason you’d taken such an awful job so soon after graduation. "They hated my move to the capital and said if i failed at all they’d have me back and married, i had one shot to escape them, there’s no way i’d give it away because i didn’t actually like what i’d chosen". Azula didn’t comment she just watched you conflicted, she hated self pity and weakness but you were so like her, she’d have done the exact same thing in your position. "But you did leave" Azula commented “you left to come with me” and you looked down "i did...". Azula saw the way your face changed, filling with worry and she actually felt slightly guilty. You’d left instinctively for her when she asked, no matter what it might mean for you in the long term. You did all that for her and it proved to her again why you were her closest ally.

Azula laughed and you looked at her confused "y/n do you really think i’d make you give up your job for a small mission?". You frowned "what?". "Your parents won’t be angry because this a much better job, you’ll be paid more and you’re working with me" Azula said pointedly. "They can’t say anything against that, as long as you’re with me they can’t touch you" she smiled and you grinned at Azula "you’d vouch for me?". Azula nodded "of course, i want you with me and that’s what i’ll get, i don’t care who your family are they’re not taking you anywhere ever". You were equally touched and shocked "ever?". Azula nodded "well obviously you might not be here forever but they’re never taking you back to tie you to a marriage, i’ll just keep coming up with excuses to keep you in my company until you’re too old and then they’ll have to leave you alone with me" Azula explained and you smiled "sounds perfect".

Azula laughed and met your eye, seeing how intensely you looked at her gave her chills. Azula had missed you greatly in the capital but honestly she’d let you leave without a fight. She sensed a growing attraction and longing for you which she knew had to stop. So she let you go figuring some distance would be good but as soon as she needed allies the first face in her mind was yours. The second she saw you she knew she’d made the right choice but she also felt the attraction just as suddenly. Laying here staring at you made it more apparent than ever and it scared Azula. She blushed and turned away from you, facing the back of the sofa "try and sleep" she commanded "we'll be up early".

You didn’t comment on how much Azula was blushing or how she’d chosen to sleep out here with you. You just smiled and closed your eyes basking in the feeling of all she’d said and the safety of her. “Good night Princess” you whispered and you fell asleep almost instantly.

The next day you reunited with Ty lee and then Mai. Ty lee had launched herself at both you and Azula when she saw you and the same occurred for Mai. Mai grunted and hugged Ty lee begrudgingly. "I thought you ran away to the circus?" Mai asked Ty lee and she nodded "i did but y/n and Azula showed up and well they called louder than the universe" Ty lee smiled. "Wait y/n and Azula, isn’t the circus closer to the capital than the military?" Mai asked looking from you to Azula. "Yeah so?" you said confused and Mai shrugged "nothing just seems like it’d make sense to go to the circus first then military but hey i’m sure Azula had her reasons for coming to get you first" Mai smirked slightly. You didn’t look at Azula but Mai and Ty lee exchanged a look at the matching blushes you were both sporting, some things never change. Azula recovered first and pretended Mai hadn’t said anything about the two of you and began explaining her plan. You joined in after a few seconds of recovery but still felt giddy at Mai’s words.

Throughout your trip you and Azula grew closer and closer just like you’d done at the academy. Although neither of you spoke about it you felt drawn to one another and Azula acted differently around you. She sought you out more than the others, always kept the closest proximity to you and paired Mai and Ty lee and you with herself whenever you had to split into teams. As you fell into old habits all the past feelings came back and you began to worry at all the dangerous situations Azula was putting herself in just to please her father. She’d infiltrated Ba Sing Sei without any backup besides you, Ty lee and Mai which terrified you. Of course her plan worked but still you were so grateful Azula had been unharmed and managed to take over the whole city without any mishaps. You hoped it’d be smooth sailing from there but of course she wanted her brother and the avatar too. You did exactly what she said to try and help her but you couldn’t escape the feeling something would go wrong. Azula had left to go and face the avatar all alone apart from her dai lee agents and you couldn’t get her out of your head. Azula had put you in charge of making sure the earth king and his bear were looked after but you wanted to ensure she was okay so left it to Ty lee and Mai. You followed the secret passage you’d seen Azula take and found your way into a massive cavern filled with people. You spotted Azula fighting the avatar and saw her shoot him with a lightning bolt. He fell to the floor and you gaped at the fact Azula had likely just killed the avatar. The water bender with the avatar then went into a rage and flew through the air using a massive wave to catch him. Azula smirked ready to engage with her and you saw Zuko standing beside her. You were surprised to see Zuko beside her, never thinking she’d actually manage to get Zuko on her side but of course she was a master at manipulation. You smiled at all she’d achieved when you noticed Azula’s uncle Iroh was approaching them. He had flames in his hands and was looking right at Azula who was fixed on the water bender. You gasped at Iroh’s intentions and how nobody was aware of what was going on behind them. You broke out into a run and leapt down the cliff as quick as you could. You were getting closer but you still weren’t close enough. Iroh raised his hands and you went into panic mode. “Stop” you yelled and threw your own fire as Iroh released his own. Your strike managed to hit his off course and it hit a rock beside Azula. Azula and Zuko both jumped and Iroh turned to you. You were now stood blocking his path to Azula and you sensed he still wanted to take her down. You anticipated his attack and blocked it instinctively before firing back your own. Iroh was much stronger than you so you were heavily outmatched when suddenly two flames burst onto the scene. Azula sprang in front and began attacking her uncle savagely while Zuko helped. You were again slightly surprised by Zuko but quickly joined in. With three on one even the dragon of the west couldn’t last long and with a final hit from Azula he fell to the floor. “Seize him and throw him in a cage” Azula spat and walked past him to you. “I thought I told you to wait upstairs” she said fixing her intense gaze on you and you shrugged “I wanted to help and I think it’s a good job I did”. Azula shot you a look at your boldness but you could tell she was more amused than annoyed. “You appear to be correct” she replied curtly before walking past you. You smiled after Azula, admiring how happy she looked and why wouldn’t she? She’d taken over Ba Sing Sei, possibly killed the avatar, brought down her uncle and convinced Zuko to ally with her, all in all it had been an excellent day and Azula had proved herself a force to be reckoned with. You began following her when you saw the guards walking Iroh in the opposite direction. You were going to look away when you noticed he was still staring at Azula. You could feel his anger and knew what his intentions were, he meant to finish the job. In the blink of an eye Iroh burst out of his restraints, threw his guards to the side and took a stance. “Azula get down” you yelled sensing the electricity in the air but he had an excellent shot at her and she had nowhere to go. Instinctively you threw yourself into the path of the lightning.

Azula also responded instinctively. She conjured her own lightning to meet her uncle’s when she saw you running into the fight, You tried to raise a wall of fire but there wasn’t time, you got hit by the bolt and collapsed. Azula only just managed to direct her own bolt away from you and felt her heart beating rapidly. As the smoke cleared Azula saw your body on the floor rage consumed her. She conjured a huge amount of electricity and sent it all at her uncle. He tried to block it but Azula’s bolt sliced through his defences hitting him square in the chest. Azula didn’t even check to see if her bolt had met its mark, she knew it had so rushed to your side. “Y/n” she yelled and she knelt beside you staring at the smoke coming off your back where the bolt had hit you. Your uniform was partially melted and Azula could smell the burning flesh strongly. "I need water” Azula yelled grabbing you and trying to feel for a pulse. She felt one and felt her own breathing somewhat stabilise too. "Now" Azula yelled and people rushed forwards. Azula poured the water over you "it’s okay" she told as you winced as she poured more. "We need to get her into the pool" she called "someone help me get her to the water". Zuko appeared and helped Azula carry you to a fountain. You were semi-conscious which made Azula hurry even quicker, she wanted to reduce your pain as soon as possible. Azula climbed into the fountain first and told Zuko to pass you to her. She took you carefully and laid you on your back floating. Your eyes closed as you passed out and Zuko called for a doctor. Azula clutched your by your arms keeping you close to her in the water "you will not die y/n" she snarled "you will be fine do you hear me?". You didn’t respond.

Later

You woke up face down on something soft and tried to move your face away from it when shooting pains erupted along your spine. You felt like your back was cracking open and groaned loudly. "Careful y/n" you heard someone say and saw it was Ty Lee. "Ty lee? What happened?". "You got burnt" she explained "on your back..luckily Azula cooled you in time to stop any long-term damage but it’s still really sore so be careful". You reached for your back and flinched at the slightest touch of it. "Stop" Ty lee told you "Azula said i’m to watch you and make sure you rest, apply more soothing cream on it every three hours and just basically always make sure you're okay!" she told you cheerfully. You shook your head "Ty lee i’m fine you don’t have to sit guard over me" you tried to sit up and went pale from the pain. "Don’t do that" Ty lee cried rushing to your side "if you want to get up i can pile some pillows in front of you for you to lean on. I don’t think you can sit up for a while". You pouted annoyed but asked Ty lee to bring you said pillows and managed to pull yourself up onto your elbows "so what happened? Tell me everything". "Well thanks to you we managed to stop Iroh escaping and hurting Azula, we took Ba Sing Sei and the avatar is dead". "Wow" you said surprised "That is... a lot". Ty lee nodded “Ow and Zuko’s back on our side". You nodded and smiled "I bet Mai is happy". Ty lee grinned too "she is i haven’t seen her since we started for home". "We’re on our way back?" you asked and Ty lee nodded "yes but Azula said me, you and Mai are to stay with her even after we arrive back in the capital, she said she still has a need for us". You smiled laying your head down blushing slightly, Azula had kept her promise, she wasn’t letting you go. You sighed happily and Ty lee smiled "y/n?". "I’m just glad to be going back" you smiled "i think we'll have lots of fun". You had been dozing when the sounds of the door made you jolt awake sending shooting pains down your back. You winced but prepared yourself for an attack until you saw her. Azula raised her hands as she saw you jump and she smiled "just me". You relaxed "Azula, sorry i was asleep". "Don’t apologise you need to rest after what happened, i just wanted to come check on you. We'll be in the fire nation in a few hours". "That’s good news" you smiled and Azula nodded "how does the back feel? Ty lee says you’re doing as well as can be expected" Azula’s eyes drifted to your back and you froze. You were now very aware you were laid on your front with only a blanket covering your bare torso from Azula’s eye. Azula stepped closer and you rushed to explain and stop her inspecting you. "I’m fine" you told her "the burns aren’t too bad, they hardly hurt at all". Azula raised an eyebrow "then you won’t mind me having a look?" and stepped beside you. She reached for the blanket and you grabbed her hand with an uncomfortable strain "wait, i lied...i don’t want you to see it, Ty lee says it looks bad. It’s in the blistering stage and yes it hurts but everything has already been done for it and me so you don’t need to see it or check on me". Azula titled her head to one side as you couldn’t meet her eye and she sighed sitting on the floor beside your bed. "It will scar but unlike Zuko you can wear yours with pride" Azula said forcefully and you looked up at her shocked "with time i’m sure it will simply resemble a tattoo" Azula explained. You turned on your side to look at her, something you’d practised with Ty lee and could now manage. "Ty lee told me you did as much for me as you could...i can’t really remember it but..". "Do you remember jumping into the path of lightning for me?" Azula said "without protecting yourself or even any concrete attempt to do so, and what for?". You sighed thinking Azula was angry at you "i...i know it was reckless and stupid, it went against everything we were taught at the academy but I don’t know Azula, i did it without even thinking. I saw it heading for you and you weren’t ready! It would hit you and i just did it without hesitation, i know it seems stupid and emotional but i don’t regret it Azula i’d do it again" you told her sighing, feeling she wouldn’t understand. "I know that might sound stupid...why i’d do that for you but Azula i..." you started as Azula cut you off "y/n". Azula gently raised your head with a hand helping you to look at her. You were confused by Azula’s gaze, it was soft but at the same time intense, you couldn’t recognise the emotion, was she angry? Happy? Excited? Apparently it was somewhere in the middle. Azula leant down to you, hand on your cheek as she ghosted her lips over yours. You felt a sensation like water being thrown over you as Azula kissed you softly and quickly before pulling back "i don’t completely get it but i understand" she smiled blushing softly "i think I can imagine why you did it" she said looking away from you "thank you for saving me". You were speechless, Azula was thanking you? Azula understood why you did it? Did that mean she liked you too? She’d just kissed you so of course she did! Or was that what she thought you wanted? Azula had been used all her life, did she simply think you did this in order to make gains with her?

Azula smiled slightly to see your brain short-circuiting at her actions and stood up. "i just wanted to make sure you were okay so now I know you are i’ll let you go back to sleep. I’ll wake you when we’re there". You nodded still confused and watched Azula walked away. You weren’t sure what had just happened but you knew you had to make Azula realise you didn’t do this just to use her. "Azula" you said suddenly "is that...what you just did...if that was my reward or what you think i wanted from you after today...i didn’t save you because i was expecting a reward or anything from you so what i’m saying is you don’t have to compensate me if you don’t want to. I didn’t do it for any reason other than to keep you safe".

Azula blushed suddenly and felt her emotions swirling, she realised she was happy. To hear you express openly your desire for her safety filled her with excitement and she realised nobody had ever cared for her before like you did. Azula nodded slowly "that is welcomed news y/n" she smiled "but i didn’t reward you like that as a forced compensation either" she told you "although my intentions were personal and selfish i suppose”.

You smirked slightly and nodded "good...i mean fine with me". Azula nodded "i’m glad we understand each other, good night y/n". "Good night princess Azula" you said savouring the words and Azula’s eye twitched but she maintained her calm expression and bowed leaving. You lay back giggling as realisation (and the medication you were on for the pain) set in. Azula had kissed you and told you she didn’t do it because she thought she had to but because she wanted to! For selfish reasons!!! You wrapped yourself in your blankets and didn’t stop smiling even in your sleep.

____

Is it just me who loves the idea of being in a secret relationship with the princess of the fire nation? I feel like Azula would excel at sneaking around the palace and would like rebelling against Ozai for once

BESTIEEEE hopefully i'm not too late but can you please write poly!jinlia with brat!lia convincing a very obedient sub reader to go down on her even though ryujin specifically said not to and they both get punished 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

this got a little long, im sorry!

ryujin pecked your lips (yours only) before getting off the bed and into the bathroom. she wouldn’t kiss lia as a part of her whole punishment. which included you not giving in to her no matter what she said or promised. you knew the rules, and ryujin made sure to remind you them before going in the bathroom. you felt bad for her, of course, no matter how much of a brat she was or how mean she was, even with you, you always felt the need to please her, specially when she’s been painfully edged by your girlfriend the previous night.

you tried to keep yourself occupied, and for the first two minutes, lia just sat there, hands intertwined on her lap, over her pretty sundress as she stares at them with her lips pursed in a pout. she’s thinking about it, how to go on about asking you to break the rules for her again. when she turns her head to you hesitantly, you already know what’s going to come out of her lips.

“babe” you’re trying. really trying not to answer, but the petname... and it’s lia... how can you say no to lia...“babyyyy” she turns around now, on her side with her hand laying on her waist "are you mad at me too?"

"im not mad" you finally look at her, smiling when your eyes connect.

“don’t sit so far” she pouts again, scooting closer to you. “hey”

“hi” you chuckle, putting an arm over her shoulders and letting her rest her head on your shoulder. “what’s up?” you regret asking, because she immediately gives you her famous puppy eyes, and you already know what she wants “she said no”

“and you're going to listen to her?" she snorts, earning a glare from you "pup.." she whispers

"she's in the bathroom"

"it'll be so quick, she won't even notice" she's on her knees now, hands wrapped around one of yours when she sees you look down, hiding your tongue behind one of your cheeks as you think about it "won't you help mommy out? please"

"i'll do it for you when she won't" she proposes

lia notices the way your eyes change when you look up at her, and her own orbs lighten up in excitement and somewhat relief as she climbs up the bed until she's got one leg at each sides of your face without needing to tell you what she wanted, because you're already looking at her cunt like it's some forbidden fruit.. and when she lifts her skirt and flashes you a glance of her bare pussy, you remember ryujin told her she wasn't allowed to wear underwear as part of her punishment.

you can still hear the water running when you drag your tongue up her folds the first time, glaring at her when she gasps loudly, only receiving a mouthed 'sorry' from her and her placing her hands one on her mouth to prevent any louder noises, and the other behind your head to encourage you to taste her again 'hurry' she whispers, adding a please quickly after

all that you hear are her whispers and choked moans, all that you see are the curves and crevices of her body, and all that you taste are her juices that have you fooled and rope you in every time. it doesn't take long for her to move her hips, whispering lots of yes and 'right there puppy' and so much telling that she's so close, and part of you wishes you weren't so focused on hearing her moan but more on the shower shutting off before you were done.

"you don't waste any time do you?" she immediately climbs off your face and shuts her legs closed. you on the other hand have nowhere to escape "whatever she promised you is not true"

"i only said i'd help her when you punished her. because you're fucking mean" lia spits, glaring at ryujin that was fixing her ponytail after coming out of the shower.

"i'm mean? i'll be mean to you, don't worry" she struts quickly, grabbing lia by the hair and dragging her down the bed until she was on the floor, on her knees. but of course, she wouldn't let the blonde do what she wanted with her, she dug her nails into her wrist and tried her hardest to be heavy for her to move, but she's still tiny, so ryujin dragged her with ease. "you're making it worse"

"fuck you"

"maybe if you earned it" she shrugs and undoing the knot of her towel and letting go of her hair to walk towards the dresser and take out one of her favorite straps. ryujin puts it on glaring at you, and stands in front of lia again. she knows what to do, but she wont, she wants to spit on her face and cum while she watches, making a joke of her authority. but the last thing the blonde will do is beg, so instead she calls you over with her hand, watching you crawl quickly to kneel beside the smaller girl. "why don't you show unnie what she's supposed to do?"

you nod, all that is running through your head is pleasing both girls next to you, so you wrap your lips around the head of the toy, looking up at her through your lashes before slowly making your way down. your girlfriend approves from above, putting her hand at the back of your head to control you if necessary. she let's you go at your own pace though, up, down, sucking, until you gag, she stares in adoration and mumbles an "awe, poor baby" feigning worry as she pulls you off her dick, and wipes whatever drool spilled around your mouth.

"that's nice baby, that was really nice. but you still disobeyed me." ryujin pushes you up and on the bed, only your upper body, leaving your legs to support you as she steps behind you "you know what happens now right?" she whispers in your ear but loud enough for lia to hear a couple of feet away. you nod, thinking she's going to fuck you until you're so close you can taste your orgasm and then rip it all right away.

however, she first turns to lia, also manhandling until she was on the bed and quickly after retrieving a bullet vibrator from your toy drawer. "suck" she orders, and her, who is much calmer than before, does as told, still a little bitchy towards the blonde in general. as soon as ryujin pulls out the toy with a pop, she stuffs it deep in her cunt, but not without first turning it on in it's lowest setting "slow and torturous while you watch"

lia gasps as soon as she feels it, immediately whimpering at the lack of stimulation and the sight of ryujin pushing into you slowly, making your lips form an 'o' shape and your fingers immediately fist the sheets. "no one's going to cum, understood?"

"yes daddy"

"understood??" she asks again, mainly to lia that hadn't responded before. the brunette rolls her eyes and nods quickly "say it"

"i understand, daddy" the name spills out her lips like venom, she's too proud to say it, but she knows only bad things come from disobeying when she's this mad. and ryujin is mad at you too, but not as much as she is lia, so she treats you a lot better, kissing your temple and pressing her nose against your skin

mumbling things like "you like that? i bet you want to cum so bad"

"i wanna cum, i wanna cum please." you look up at her raising your head, moaning when she thrusts deeper and presses a kiss against your lips. she only has to squeeze your jaw slightly for you to understand she wants you to open your mouth, spitting on your tongue afterwards

“swallow” you obey her order, moaning at a specific thrust she gives. “im watching you” she’s not speaking to you, but to lia, who pouts and pulls the hand away of her clit

“im not doing anything” she raises her hands in innocence

“spread your legs, i want to see” ryujin’s breath is ragged as her thighs slap against your ass, she hasn’t stopped fucking you even when ordering lia around, and she does as asked, way more compliant than earlier but still not sending her any more than glares.

“ohh-“ you don’t even realize your orgasm came that fast, washing over you silently before ryujin notices you shaking under her, she was too focused on lia this whole time she forgot you were being punished too.

“did you just cum?” she wraps her hand around your throat, roughly pulling you back so you’d look up at her. “did. you. just. cum.”

“n-no”

“and you’re lying too? that’s it.” she pulls out, quickly throwing you on to the bed next to lia, spread just like her and snatching the nearest wand before placing it on your clit, not caring of the way you shake and gasp at the overstimulation. “you want to cum? you’ll cum. in fact that’s the only thing you’ll do tonight. and you will watch. until you’re both begging for forgiveness”

Spin the Bottle (Akaashi x Reader NSFW one shot)

Summary: You are tired of Akaashi’s dual personality toward you and decide to get to the bottom of it with a bottle of wine and a late night alone.

Warnings: NSFW, name calling, quickie, alcohol consumption

Word Count: 2793

The day you moved in you knew that Akaashi was going to be a troublesome roommate. The landlord assured you that the boys she already had living in the room were nice young men, one of them hardly ever home in the first place, and since you were desperate for somewhere to live before the start of term you didn’t figure that you had much of a choice otherwise.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Bokuto cheered as he set down the last box. “Barbeque dinner time yeah?! You promised!”

The door to Akaashi’s room was already shut before you had the chance to answer, leaving you alone with the silver haired extrovert. What you didn’t realize was that Akaashi had his back to the door, cheeks bright pink as he slid to the floor, staring at the ground as he tried to collect himself. He had hardly the occasion to speak two words to you before but he’d seen you on campus freshman year and now…? Well, he’d have to talk to you… unless…

You and Akaashi have been basically battling back and forth leaving each other subtle hints for nearly two months. The crush came fast, made of little reminder notes left on bathroom mirrors for both you and Bokuto and cups of coffee left hot for you on the kitchen counter in the mornings. You caught him sneaking little glances out of the corner of your eye before and it was sincerely sweet how he’d work late with you at the small kitchen table, his books spread over half of it while your side was just as messy. He’d make you little snacks at midnight, bring you coffee during especially strenuous study sessions, but when you would try and joke with him like you would with Bokuto he’d shut you out completely. It seemed almost impossible to you that these two men, so opposite in personality, could be such close companions but… You supposed that crazier things have happened.

“Oh come on Akaashi you and Bokuto have to have a little more in common than that,” You teased one evening.

“What do you mean?” He asked quietly.

“Well how is it that a guy like Bokuto who’s all machismo and confidence make friends with a-” You watched as his face fell, a blush on his cheeks as he shut his laptop hard.

“I should be getting to the library.”

“Wait, that came out wrong I-”

“No, no I’m not offended I really have to be going.”

Then you’d sigh and slump in your chair, working alone again. You were getting tired of how evasive Akaashi was, especially since you and Bokuto were really starting to get closer as friends.

“You just intimidate him!” Bokuto promised you one night as you sat at your favorite small dive bar. “He’s not used to having two pretty faces to deal with!”

“First off I’m not that pretty and second off how could I be intimidating?” You laughed, shaking your head as you took another sip of your drink.

“Well, okay, Akaashi only had like… Two girls he ever went on a date with that I know about. Being his best friend, I think I’d know! So… What are you going to do huh? Maybe you could get him to do a movie night when I’m gone next weekend.”

“You’re going to be gone?” You muse, thinking it over. It’d be nice to spend more time with Akaashi and besides… The mystery had a little bit of an allure to it.

As you and Bokuto walked home you thought about it more and more. Why were you so determined to be Akaashi’s friend anyway? What did it matter if he hated you or something, Bokuto was clearly happy with you being at the apartment and besides it wasn’t causing you any trouble so why did you care so damn much about this handsome fit setter? But that’s when it began to hit you. The kindness of those notes about things you had due, the thoughtfulness of how he started getting snacks he’d know you’d like for your midnight essay writing, staying up with you when he didn’t need to to cram for tests… You were starting to fall for the way he showed you how he loved you, even if he couldn’t say any of this out loud… yet. That next weekend, when Bokuto was away for a game, you were going to figure out if the seemingly insane thing your brain came up with had any merit to it whatsoever.

You hear Akaashi come home, the door slamming behind him as he dragged himself over to the couch. You could see how the semester was stressing him out, wincing as his tired eyes turned to you. He had hardly been home for the past two days, holed up in the library as finals approached.

“I turned in that paper, Y/N,” He said softly, a proud smile on his face. “I can finally relax…”

“Oh?” You smiled as you joined him on the couch, noting how he made just enough room for you but didn’t quite move far enough for there to be any more than a few inches between the two of you. “Well then it’s a perfect time for a wine night isn’t it?”

“Honestly that sounds.. really nice…” He mumbled, blushing and clearing his throat as he thought about the advice Bokuto gave him.

It’s obvious she likes you too! Just… Say yes to it! Go with what she wants to do and then you’ll figure out the perfect time when it hits, just like we always have!

That wasn’t how they always had, true, but he understood the sentiment Bokuto was getting at. Shutting down opportunities to spend time with you wasn’t helping him one bit so… Why was this so difficult? He let you run off, getting the bottle of wine and the opener before you sat back down, filling two glasses.

“To work well done and reward well earned,” You smiled, clinking glasses with him as you eased into the couch.

Akaashi blushed, nodding with the toast as he leaned back as well, absent mindedly wrapping an arm around your shoulders, his cheeks hot with embarrassment the moment he realized it. But it was too late now, wasn’t it? If he pulled away you’d for sure notice and then think he didn’t want to have his arm around you which he totally did but if he leaves his arm and you don’t want him to have his arm around you then he just comes off as creepy, doesn’t he? He’d been maintaining a distance between you two for his own protection but now that you leaned into the way his arm had been wrapped around your shoulders that had vanished into thin air… and what surprised him most was how grateful he was for its absence.

That small touch was enough to put him at ease, not thinking about how the wine flowed until you were both three glasses deep, sharing stories from high school as he told you more about how Bokuto would practically form mushrooms pouting when he messed up in Volleyball. He felt your weight shift a little to look more at him as he decided to finally get bold. A tad bit woozy, he set the glass down before taking your face in both his hands, squishing your cheeks and his legs onto the couch.

“I want… to kiss you.” He mumbled, his blue eyes flickering all over your face, trying to memorize the way you heated up as he made his infamous split second decisions. “But I cannot…” He whispered, bursting out into laughter as he fell back onto the couch, clutching his chest like his heart had been pierced with an arrow.

You crawled between his legs, leaning over him with a grin.

“I could kiss you then,” You offer, leaning in to do just that before he puts his hand over your mouth, his palm pressed to your sweet lips.

“No,” He whined, shaking his head firmly. “You can’t.”

“And why not?” You pouted, voice muffled by his hand and reminding him of Bokuto’s pout just enough to inspire a large goofy grin.

“Because if I kiss you… I wont stop… and I want to remember… everything about that, Y/N-chan.” He purred, his hand moving quickly to behind your head, pulling you down to rest your head on his chest, taking a deep breath as he held you. “I like you… a lot… And… I just want to fall asleep with you like this… Can you stay with me tonight?”

His voice had just the slightest whine to it, clearly reluctant to let you go even if it was just to walk down the hall to his room. He could hardly remember the rest of the night, his leg hooked in between yours so you couldn’t wander off, his arms wrapped around your body so you were enveloped by his warmth… He fell asleep in his clothes, not caring that he was in jeans and a button down which are arguably some of the least comfortable sleeping clothes one could wear. The next morning when his head stopped spinning he spent almost twenty minutes just staring down at you, admiring how peacefully you slept with him, sighing contentedly. This was exactly how he wanted things to be with you…

He almost began to pretend to be asleep when you woke up but the way you said his name, mumbling it before you cuddled into him… He smiled down at you, kissing your forehead softly.

“I know Bokuto-san will be home soon but… I… I wanted to…” He stammered, his cheeks getting tomato red as you looked up at him with such big loving eyes.

You didn’t give him an opportunity to finish his sentence, pressing your lips to his so sweetly he could swear that he felt a cavity pop up right as it happened. He smiled into the tender kiss, one hand gently tangling into your hair, pulling you closer as your bodies pressed to the other, desperately seeking their touch. He couldn’t fully hold back his moan as you rolled on top, happy to let you straddle him as you kissed lovingly over and over, his face radiating heat as he realized what you could probably feel despite his jeans.

“You know I’m sure it wasn’t comfortable sleeping in your dress shirt like this…” You mumble as your fingers delicately begin to work on his buttons. He lets a shiver run down his spine, the morning sunlight making you glitter like a deity above him as he lets you completely take control.

“If this is what you want I-” he whispered before you started to giggle, making him furrow his brow. “What’s so funny?”

“Oh nothing,” You tease. “Last night you were all ‘oh if I kiss you I’m not stopping’ and here you are, letting me be the dominant one.”

Akaashi smirked, huffing a little as you challenged his dominance. He quickly started to help you with his buttons, slipping out of the shirt as he sat up, throwing the garment aside as he wrapped an arm around your lower back, easily flipping you onto your back. “If you’re going to hold me to my promises like that, my little flower, then I suppose I have to do my best to fulfill every last one of them.”

His hands slipped up your shirt, fingers playing with your nipples as he pressed his lips to yours again, tugging and rolling them between his fingers, trying to illicit any reaction he could as he nibbled and sucked your bottom lip, reveling in your every small moan or noise.

“Keiji,” You whine as he moves his kisses to your jaw, finding a sweet spot by your ear before going for the pleasure centers in your neck.

“What is it, my flower?” he purrs, backing off of you just enough to slide your t-shirt over your head and throw it to the side, abandoned with his own in the corner.

“Y-You said… Bokuto could-“

“I don’t want to talk about him. I want to focus on you.” He growled, clearly a little jealous that he hadn’t rid your thoughts of everything and anything but him right now.

“N-No, Keiji he could walk in on us if we a-aren’t… you know…” you mumble, blushing darkly as you melt under his intense stare.

“Well… Then I suppose I’ll have to savor you another time, hmm? I should just punish you now then, is that it? Punish you for teasing me?”

You blush, shaking your head as he pulls off your sleep shorts, smirking to see the arousal already evident. “No underwear huh?” He chuckled. “Figures. You know who finds your… dirty panties in the bathroom, don’t you?”

Your brain is practically melting now, thinking back and remembering times when you must have forgotten to pick them up after showers. You always had all of them, you thought at least, and he’d never brought them up before so you hadn’t noticed.

“What if Bokuto-san had found them, hmm? What would he have said?” Akaashi growled, his digits quickly making work to stretch you out for his waiting, throbbing member as one hand worked on undoing his jeans. “Unless that’s what all this was, hmm? Playing us against each other? So fucking dirty, aren’t you?”

He pulled away just long enough to take off his pants, leaving them exactly where he was standing as he crawled back on top of you now completely nude, still towering over you as he pressed a finger into your mouth, making you suck your own need off of them. “Now be a good little flower, won’t you? Let me fuck your brains out.”

His pace wasn’t meant to let you adjust. If you were going to bring Bokuto up, remind him how Bokuto could be back at any minute, ruin the morning he’d been dreaming of then, well, he was going to ensure your pussy would be made into a perfect sleeve for his cock regardless of what you thought on the matter. He sucked on your neck as he drilled into you, carefully hitting your sweet spots as he held your chest to his, leaving marks hungrily all along your exposed skin. Keiji didn’t care to let anyone have even the slightest opportunity to imagine you without being reminded that he’d be there. One hand slipped back down to your sex, fingers working at a furious pace to get you off as your orgasm approached. You two were practically animals in heat, howling for each other as you took advantage of Bokuto’s absence.

“Fuck I’m so close,” he muttered, not realizing that was the first thing he’d even been able to say since he’d sheathed himself into you for the first time.

“Come on,” he whispered into your neck, not letting up on his speed. “Fuck baby I need you to cum…”

He begged for your orgasm, fingers working like mad as he finally felt you climax, gasping as his eyes widened, the hand working your sex quickly going to his own as he squeezed hard around the base, pulling out as quickly as he could to spill his cum on your stomach, panting as he painted it white with his sticky juices.

“F-Fuck,” he chuckled, still shaky as he tried to catch his breath. “You certainly know how to… take it out of me…”

He sat back on his heels, admiring how beautiful you looked covered in his cum after your own orgasm. “If I had any idea where my phone was I’d take a picture but… I suppose I can wait for next time…”

“Next time?” You said, ears perking up.

He furrowed his brow, confused and a little frustrated. “Wait you didn’t think…? Boke.”

Akaashi shook his head, sighing softly with a light smile. “Let’s clean you up before Bokuto gets home alright? I think I… Can finally tell him I have a girlfriend…”

He gently stroked your cheek before getting a tissue, happily cleaning your stomach as he let you sneak back into your room, out of the view of the living room. He stood in the door to your room, wearing some casual sweatpants and an old volleyball t-shirt, wrapping his arms around your body for a moment and giving you a soft kiss to the top of your head. “Let’s go make breakfast yeah?” he mumbled.

“I was thinking pancakes!” Bokuto laughed as he passed by the two of you, heading to his room at the end of the hall, making Akaashi freeze. “By the way, a little quieter next time yeah? Might wake the neighbors!”

Memories

Part three to Home

Suna x fem reader

Atsumu x fem reader

Tags: still angst, light fluff, just a lot of Suna simping.

AN// let me know if you want me to continue the story.

Part Two: Silence

Part Four: Chance Encounters

You were the most beautiful girl Suna had ever seen. When he saw you that first day of school it was like the clouds in his normally dreary day parted and he could feel the sun. You weren’t in the same class much to his dismay. That didn’t stop the middle blocker from searching for your face in the crowds of the halls or the cafeteria. Though it was rare he stilled catch some glimpses. In those moments a war waged in his mind part of him wanted to go introduce himself, he wanted to know your name. To just be around you. But another side of his brain forbid that. Stating that he was fine were he was he would just interrupt your day. What would he even say to you. Hi I’m Suna I’ve been watching you since the first and even though I know next to nothing about you I can’t get you out of my head..... yeah no. He’d just sit back and wait for opportunity to knock. Suna curses himself for his laziness. He can’t describe how his heart stop the day his friend brought you to practice and introduce you as his girlfriend.

Though he kept his composure he felt as though the air was stolen from his lungs. This is the closesest he had ever to been to you and it was overwhelming to say the least. You stood there at Atsumu’s side smiling and greeting the team memebers and when your attention drew to Suna he realized his favorite thing about you was your eyes. You beautiful (e/c) eyes shown with so much light and happiness. When you smiled you smiled with your eyes, always getting this cute little crinkle. He shook his head at these feelings. You were taken and by one of his friends no less.

From that moment on you presence was always close by joining the boys for lunch or stopping by practice with little snacks you had made the team. Suna almost resents how easy he gets along with you. How simple it is to fall into a banter with you. He hates how calming it is when you’d sit next to him and laugh as you showed him some meme. He wanted to be annoyed with you ever time you’d put your foot down and insist he let you wrap his finger after a bad block. But he couldn’t you were just such a caring person. He’d try and give you some petty insults, maybe if he caused a rift between the two of you he’d feel better, maybe then if there was more space between you he’d feel less guilty for always being enraptured by you. But you’d always snap back with something just as clever or petty. You could go toe to toe in trading insults but both of you knew neither of you meant it. You’d always break out into that breathtaking smile after a few rounds of back and forth. He realized soon that he’d much rather keep you in his life as a friend even if he could never have you because at least he’d still see that smile. At least as your best friend he’d still see your eyes shine bright and he could take a small pleasure in knowing he brought some of that happiness.

“You need to calm down,” Suna turned to see Osamu taking the seat on the bench next to him.

Suna's hands run through his hair gripping the roots in frustration as he let out a yell.

“How the fuck am I supposed to be calm, she could be hurt or missing, and that ass is just sitting there! Two weeks! Lord knows what could have happened by now.” Hes shaking part of him wants to go back up and give Atsumu a few more licks but he knows no good will come from it.

“YN is a grown woman and she’s smart and strong and you know damn well she’d bitch you out right now for thinking she couldn’t handle herself,” the former ace chuckled.

“I’d much rather her here bitching cause at least then she’d be here,” he groaned rubbing his hand down his legs trying to let out some of his nerves. “Did you know?” He asked the grey haired twin.

Samu gave his quick glare of offense. “Absolutely not believe me if I’d known I would have been the one to deck him , you just beat me to it.”

“The last i heard from her was her birthday, maybe if I’d had stopped by and brought the Onigiri myself I could have been there for her,” he sighs.

“We’ll find her don’t worry,” his friend pats his back, “and then you can finally confess,”he smiles.

“I’m that obvious huh,” he sighed.

Samu let a loud laugh “ OH PLEASE we all knew, well maybe not YN she can be kinda blind ya’know,”

Suna shook his head laughing. He has to see you.

They returned home today from nationals. The loss to Karasuno was really starting to sink in now that was Suna was home sitting in his room alone the house quiet. He laid there berating himself for balls he failed to block. If I had just done better maybe my team would still be playing. Maybe - he was disrupted from his thoughts by the chime of the door bell. His parents were out of town this weekend. They had assumed like many Inarizaki would still be out in Tokyo fighting for first place. It was fine though Suna was used to being alone. But that just confused him more as he made his way to the door. Who could possibly be here. All he can say is he’d never except to open the door and see you standing there. Like always you stole his breath away.

“What yer not gunna let me in,” you teased “and to think I brought you snacks!” He just realized now she was carrying a grocery bag that looked pretty heavy.

“Give me that ya Dummy,” he said taking away the snacks, he stepped to the side allowing her entry.

“I figured you were hungry, but try to save me some,” she giggled. Suna just rolled his eyes as she took a seat on his couch.

“What are you doing here?” He questioned taking his seat beside her making sure to leave a respectable distance. Though he wants nothing more than to hold you close. He dismisses the thought as he rummages threw the goodies waiting for your response. He smiles seeing the package of milk bread you bought. He took it out and tossed it to you knowing it was your favorite. You smile and give a slight nod as a thank you.

“I figured you wouldn’t want to be alone after the game, I know your probably thinking a whole bunch of nonsense right now aren’t ya?” She looked at him with a solem but knowing look. He cursed how well you knew him. Seeing as he had been doing just that before your arrival. His heart squeezed at the thought of you wanting to comfort him. It almost gives him a slight hope. What about Atsumu, he lost that game too.

“Why aren’t you with you boyfriend, he’s probably taking it harder than me,” he asks knowing he might ruin this little fantasy he has here with you. He sees a sad look cross your face at the mention of the setter. It’s not a look Suna wants to keep seeing.

“You’re right about that, Tsmu’s having a tough go of it,” she gave a soft smile. “But he said he didn’t want my pity and asked I leave,” Suna could see your eyes get a little glassy thinking back to the conversation.

“He’s an Ass.” The middle blocker states plainly.

“He’s just got a lot of emotions right now and wants his space, it’s okay.” But Suna can see your hurt. He knows it wont do any good to keep talking about it.

“His loss, now I get all of the snacks,” pulling out a bag of chips. “Want to watch a movie?”

That’s how the evening went the both of you curled up on the couch Suna had brought down some pillows and blankets and he wouldn’t lie he loved seeing you wrapped in his comforter. You went on and on about this anime you started and you nearly died when he agreed to let you show it to him, pumping your fist in the air going off about your favorite character and how he’s totally going to love him. Suna looks over at you and your wearing the biggest smile eyes wide with joy. This is will always be his favorite moment he thinks.

He’s right that moment still sticks out in his mind. He has plenty of great memories but that one right there is his favorite. He’s been thinking back on a lot of his memories of you lately.

It’s been seven months since your birthday and no one in your former circle new anything about where you were. You hadn’t talked to anyone. Your number was no longer in service and all of you socials have gone silent.

After a couple of days of looking for you Suna was ready to go to the Police and report you missing, ready to call every hospital and pray you are safe. At this point that’s all that matters to him. He can’t bare to think about anything bad happening to you but it’s hard to keep his mind out of the dark place. Osamu was the one to stop him. Luckily they had gotten in touch with their former captain and while Kita was sorry to hear about the situation and very disappointed in his junior for his actions. Every one was upset with Atsumu for his actions. Kita was gladly willing to help in the search. Still being in their home town he was able to pay your parents a quick visit. And while he was happy he could inform them both that your parents had heard from you the other day so your fine. That was all your parents could tell him, stating that you had requested to keep your privacy not wanting to talk to anyone. So while they knew the biggest detail they still knew nothing.

It hurt Suna the most. How could you just cut him off like that. You were the most important person to him how could you not know that. He fretted. He knows your hurting but why did you have to cut all of them off most importantly him. Part of him was so incredibly angry how could you not even say goodbye to him. Did his friendship really mean that little to you. But another part of him understood that he couldn’t possibly know what you are going through. All he knew is how much he missed your smiling eyes. He would give everything to see you again.

Lazzle's Rune Factory 5 Review

Alright so here are my thoughts and experiences with RF5! This is a big boy so buckle in earthmates...

Obviously this review will contain spoilers, read at your own risk.

Initial thoughts upon playing...

Great opening! I enjoyed the jazz music~ I did feel like it leaned a bit more towards the male player though. It definitely feels like a rune factory game. It's familiar, and controls are easy to get accustomed to for the most part. The mold is there and rf5 doesn't stray too far from its predecessors which is comforting for veterans. That being said, I'm not going to pull any punches and will critique this game harshly. Keep in mind as updates for the game are released not all things discussed in this review will be as relevant overtime!

Let's hear some thoughts on...

The story/plot. The plot is enjoyable overall. I'm not crazy about the whole Seed organization thing but it was a neat idea. They address the Sechs Territory and it is confirmed that the game takes place some decades after RF4. But by the end of it, I didn't feel like I really accomplished anything because it felt like I barely did anything really. Also they left a lot of stuff unanswered. I'm not even sure I understood the message they were sending, if they were trying to send a message at all. The main story is too short, and it doesn't involve enough of the townsfolk. You're basically doing everything yourself in secret the whole time and the townsfolk barely know what's actually going on. Out of the love interests, Lucas plays the largest part in the story, followed by Priscilla and Scarlett. The story feels targeted at male audiences--at least that's how I felt. You, the player, have a larger role in the game, much like in RF3 and I was glad to see this. As of right now there are only two arcs. Praying for DLC 3rd arc...!

Protagonists. The latest protagonists to join the crew of Earthmates are...decent. Their designs are nothing special unfortunately, though I appreciate Alice's more than Ares's. Appearance-wise they lack personality and creativity. Personality wise I am pleasantly surprised with how sociable they are. They're not exactly quick witted and sassy like Lest/Frey were in rf4, or as endearing as Micah in rf3, but they have a certain realness to them that makes their reactions to things believable. I'm certain Xseed will see to making them a bit more sarcastic in their localizing efforts, so let's all look forward to that. Overall though, while I appreciate their mannerisms, they don't really measure up to all the previous amnesiacs we've grown to love over the decades.

Characters. Overall I enjoy all the characters introduced in Rune Factory 5! I feel like there is someone for everyone in this game on some level. The voice acting was pretty good for every character. The designs are very much Rune factory. Like OG runefa, compared to rf4 ( 4 kind of strayed from their usual style) which I like. Characters still have their own signature quirks that you find endearing. Although I would have liked to see more variety? Like we've had mermaids, univir, half monsters, vampires, etc in previous titles but rf5 only gives us the usual (half) elf, dwarf, and then a succubus (physically she doesn't have unique features aside from the ears and heart eyes), and some were-people. I was hoping for something more unique to really give that classic runefa vibe.

Dungeons/Battles. I'm pretty split on this one. On the one hand, the dungeons have more depth due to the 3D aspects. They've included more contraptions that are very fun to see even if they aren't executed that well. So I'm grateful for that. On the other hand, the dungeons are insanely short imo. It doesn't take long at all to get to the boss. The puzzles are also pretty subpar and few compared to RF4. Fighting monsters is similar to the other games. You can lock on now but I only use it when I'm trying to use my Seed Circle. The lock on feature is actually counter-intuitive and makes it harder to dodge. Weapon mechanics have shifted a bit. There’s a feature that makes you invincible to damage if you time the R button dash correctly. Axes and Hammers are significantly slower than in older games? Like. I thought I was in slow motion it was so slow. Lances are also harder to use as well? I'm questioning my sanity here. I don't know if it's a bug or intentional either.

Farming. Not much has changed from previous games mechanics wise. They added new types of special crops which is neat. The camera view changes to overhead when you go near your fields though, and it can make you dizzy/uncomfortable. It actually makes it a bit difficult to see at times so I wish there was a way to adjust the angle. If you are tilling corn or dried weeds to improve the soil, you need to place them separately if you don't want to use the entire stack. Otherwise, it will till the entire stack on the land if you place them all down at once. The flower shop is unlocked late in the story. Weird thing to do considering you need flowers to make medicine. Not to mention the fact that you wont have access to the fertilizer that increases defense against typhoons? During typhoon season? Thinking emoji...

The town. I have to say Rigbarth's design is poor compared to Sharance, Selphia, etc. It's too big and it takes too long to get around. Everything is too spaced out and there aren't enough warp points to make it easier on players. I don't want to walk an entire mile up a hill to talk to one person and then walk all the way down to the beach to speak to another. It doesn’t really feel like a ‘town’.

OST/BGM. Music was good, though nothing really stood out to me where I'd go "damn this slaps" or something. I think they might've had some old soundtracks from rf2 or something because it felt really nostalgic at times.

We need an exterminator. (Bugs Bugs Bugs)

Marvelous, I don't know how to tell you this buuut...your customers are NOT your testers. When you release a game, you need to make sure it's not littered with glitches because customers don't enjoy dealing with them and will drop the game!

Here are some of the types of glitches I encountered:

Crashing. Game would randomly crash or freeze and close at any moment. Sooooo frustrating! Sometimes you get lucky with the autosave feature, but the autosave only activates every morning at 6am in your room and then when you warp to a dungeon level/floor. So when you're in the middle of your daily tasks in town and it crashes, you have to start all over. Marveloussss no one enjoys losing their progress in a game I promise you that much.

Lag. The dialogue bar is seriously slow, especially after loading your file. Crafting/Cooking screen lags. When you press the Y button to skip through dialogue it lags like hell. Pretty much after every time you load the game will lag, the audio will lag if you're in a battle, everything is just. so. slow.

Repeating dialogue. So if you close your game entirely (or if it crashes) naturally you'll reload your file to continue where you left off. There's a bug that will cause all NPCs to repeat the last dialogue that occurred from whatever plot related thing you did last. So for example, if the last thing you did in the story was unlock Ludmilla, everyone in town will naturally have some dialogue about her. But even after seeing all this dialogue and even saving, if the game is closed and reloaded you'll have to read all that dialogue again from townsfolk. It got really annoying after a while.

Monster taming. One time I tamed a monster but once I named it and hit 'ok' the monster never showed up in my barns? Just. gone. Okaaaay then...? Additionally, I expanded one of my monster barns but all of the monsters I tamed wouldn't appear in the added room. You get 4 monsters for each room but the monsters I tamed would show up in the original room. Meaning I had like 7 monsters in one room! I tried to bring them into the newly added room but they would just warp back to the other room. Sad.

Pond Glitch. I fished in the pond located in Sasayaki Forest and left the fish I caught but didn't want laying around the water's edge. If you leave fish around the pond's edge and go to sleep, the next morning you will be teleported to the pond and trigger the fairy dialogue as if you had thrown all of the fish into the pond??? So the dialogue of her telling you she wants 'X item, not this!' will trigger over and over for all of the fish you left at the water's edge. RIP.

Party member Bug. I had Martin in my party and I made him leave. Then when I went into my monster barns to get a monster pal to join me instead it showed me Martin's portrait???? Also I've encountered a bug where I can no longer ask anyone to join my party for some unknown reason. The R &L button prompt was just gone when I reloaded.

Errors. When cooking or crafting, the dialogue box shows up sometimes...

Typos. Random average typo here and there. Not a real biggie but there is one instance where the heroine will use the japanese male pronoun "boku" instead of "watashi" which really convinced me that this game was completely intended for men lol.

Let's talk about Pros

The good stuff. The stuff that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Plot Advancing. Now I'm gonna put this as a pro because I'm certain the average player will enjoy this even though I do not. There are now markers on the map to show you where to go to advance the plot. This is all well and dandy, but it also made the story less appealing for me because you don't need to go around town and speak to residents for clues or assistance to advance anything in the story.

3D Graphics The 3D models are all amazing. The interior designs of the houses/buildings are also incredibly detailed and realistic.

Collecting items. Now there's a feature that will allow you to collect items into your inventory just by walking over them. This is pretty neat and welcome for the most part. Once the item is sparkling, you can walk over it and it'll go into your rucksack automatically. This also makes lumbering and mining go much faster. Yay!

The miraculous L pocket. Now you can customize the categories that appear in your L pocket by going to the rucksack tab in the menu. This is a super neat feature that makes things easier on players who want to manage their items in a format that suits them.

Weapon/Tool Toggling. You can now toggle between your equipped weapon and tool by pressing the left or right buttons on the trackpad.

Collecting lumber/material stone. Oh lord this is probably the most welcome improvement moving forward from the previous game. You can now put all of the lumber and material stone from your inventory into its storage at once. This also applies to fodder for tamed monsters. Well done Hakama.

Autosave. This feature is a welcome addition to the series. The game will save your data every morning and every time you enter a dungeon. Autosave has really saved my ass a few times when I made a huge error in judgement so I'm incredibly grateful for this feature. And it doesn't save over your actual save file--there's a separate autosave file at the very top. So if you messed up something but already saved on your main file, you can still salvage your mistake by reloading the autosave! I just wish it activated a bit more often sometimes.

Warping. Now we can warp to each level in a dungeon as well as certain places on the map in town. It's pretty convenient for the most part.

Increased party members. Now you can have up to 3 members in your party! Hooray! Party members act more intelligently than in older games. Scarlett can use the Seed circle to assist you in fights. I think she also tosses healing potions at you occasionally. So far, no one has tossed a dish at me if I haven't eaten like Kiel and Clorica did in rf4. But I have been hit by a failed dish (from reinhardt?) and a healing potion (from scarlett). Scarlett, Priscilla, and Reinhardt are the most helpful when dungeon crawling in my experience. Some of them however, (looking at you Doug) don't shut the hell up with their one line of dialogue they have and repeat it constantly.

Seed Circle. This neat feature allows you to capture monsters. By charging it and releasing you can capture monsters for the bounty system or add them to your party temporarily. If you throw it without charging it, you can stun monsters in place momentarily or grab things from far away. When stunning monsters, it can also give you the monster's drop item occasionally. Unfortunately it uses a lot of RP so it can be difficult at times.

Combo attacks. This is a neat feature that I appreciate and use often for boss fights. They do some serious damage so it's good to save them for the bosses. The actual cutscenes aren't that impressive, and feel kind of subpar when you get down to it but I think it's a start in the right direction.

Farm Dragons. I'm listing this as a pro although I really just see it as a new feature. Farm dragons have fields on their backs that you can place monster barns on and farm on. Giving them certain crystals will give your fields boosts in certain criteria, like length of growth, soil quality, you get it. I personally don't use the crystals because I couldn't give a shit lmao I have men and women to woo here. But if you're into this kinda thing then it's a pro.

Storage. When opening your storage box, fridge, etc. you can actually hit the R & L buttons to switch between ALL of your other storages. Looooove thissss. Great addition. So much faster to put items away in their respective places.

Crafting/Forging. Now we can also use the R & L buttons to alternate between the different weapon types/accessory/gear types instead of having to exit the menu and going back in each time you want to make something different.

Cooking. More recipes have been added. Yay!

Days are longer now. More time to get shit doneeeee ayyyy

Fishing. They've added many more fish to the game! Now the player will shout something when you get a bite, making it easier for you to hit B at the right moment. Nice. Also if you fail or press B too early, the fish doesn't vanish most of the time. Also nice. There is now a feature to fish with another person's assistance. Once a day you can investigate the sign near the fishing station and someone might offer to lend you a hand. Press the B button at the right moments on the slider and you can get a rare fish that can't be caught normally.

Monsters. New types of monsters! Love the designs. Even the monsters that are the same but just have different skins are really neat. They look great in the 3D format too. You can even ride with up to two people on certain monsters! Some bosses had awesome designs while others...were bad.

New Types of Furniture. The carpenter store has a wide arrange of furniture you can buy for your home. It also has wallpapers and stuff which is really neat. Though unfortunately you can't even sit on some of the furniture so that's a shame.

Events. Now there is a system where events are triggered by approaching an icon on the map. This is probably an improvement to RF4's randomized system, though personally I found it annoying because it meant that I had to see the events before I could just enter a building normally. Sometimes I just wanted to get shit done and not have to read through walls of text for someone's love event when I just want to buy something.

Voiced Lines. The protagonist seems to have more voiced lines, as do other characters. Good!

Let's talk about Cons

Not including glitches. Oh boy. So many cons. Where do I start?

Dialogue. Probably the most notable con in the entire game. The dialogue is drastically minimal in comparison to previous games, especially rf4. There is probably a quarter of the amount of dialogue compared to rf4's insane amount of content if not less. Townsfolk repeat themselves. Often. Too often. Am I playing Harvest Moon? Originally I thought it was because the dialogue is randomized, but I think it's actually because more dialogue is unlocked as you raise townspeople's FP. Despite this, there's no linear build up where you start off as acquaintances and eventually become very close like in rf4 because of how sporadic the LP/FP is. Townsfolk don't even talk to each other. One of the greatest perks about runefa is the conversations townsfolk can have with one another. Residents randomly gathering in small groups to talk about anything. Previously you could add someone to your party and sometimes a dialogue will occur if you speak to the right person at the right time with that person in your party. This is nonexistent now. The only time they do this in rf5 is during the festivals. But, it will only trigger if you have unlocked all the characters in each marriageable lineup and they can't be in your party. The residents will talk about one another but that's pretty much it outside of town events. They got rid of all the minor dialogue that occurs too. Trying to sleep in someone's bed while they're right there? They wont comment. Inspecting objects in stores while the shopkeeper is present? Wont say anything. Take a character with you to a dungeon/boss fight? Their lips are sealed. Where's my sense of community? :(

FP/LP This ties into the dialogue issue. The rate at which LP/FP increases is sporadic as hell. You can go from 1FP/LP to 4FP/LP just by giving a gift sometimes. I wouldn't even speak to people and their affinity increased by like triple for no reason. Then it increases by like 2% for the longest time. Argh!!!

Graphics. I don't consider myself very picky when it comes to graphics. I don't really mind that the foliage and scenery are at the level of a ps2 game at best. I tried playing on my television initially, but the lag and camera operability was too much so I fully switched (haha puns) to handheld. One thing that sucked is that I literally cannot tell the difference between medicinal herbs, antidote grasses, and green grasses without the captions because the graphics are so indistinguishable. So when you're trying to pick up multiples of those items by holding the A button, you're just randomly walking over anything green in the hopes that you'll get the right ones...

Lack of Sound Effects. Something I noticed is they got rid of the sound effects that will play when you complete a puzzle or add someone to your party. When you try to brush a monster there's no sound for the '♪' they make when you successfully brush them. So it was hard for me to tell if I had actually brushed them or not. I was a bit saddened by the lack of cute sounds.

Too much free range. From the very beginning of the game, you're allowed to go pretty much wherever you want when leaving town. It was too easy to stumble into high enemy level territory without knowing, so when I was like level 5 so I got KO'd immediately.

Artwork. The portraits seem to be lower in quality somehow. Runefa has always had shitty portrait art imo but this time it's even worse. Many character's eyes looked fucked up. Though the 3D models are insanely good for mostly every character except Terry. Terry's 3D model looks Terryfying and I prefer his portrait.

Festivals. They've added some new festivals. Some I enjoy. Some not so much. They changed the format of the eating contest. It's horrible. Good luck with that one.

L pocket + R button? They got rid of the feature that lets you skip to the other end of your items when opening the L pocket by pressing R button. I really liked that feature because it made it faster to reach my items so I was bummed that they got rid of it.

Gotta go fast. Now when you speak to someone, it doesn't 'stop time' as you might say it did in previous games. So people are still moving about as you speak to someone, making it harder to catch up to people! Annoying!!!

Catch and release? Not in my farming simulator! Say goodbye to being able to toss a fish you caught back into the water. In fact, say goodbye to tossing anything you don't want anymore into the water. Now you just have an army of fish flopping on the ground around you. And with the auto pick up feature, they're probably going to end up in your inventory anyways once you try to move. There are still certain ponds with fairies that you can toss stuff into, but you'll have to deal with the fairy harping at you for giving her something she doesn't want.

Shop Hours. Oh god. The shop owners don't even open their stores at the correct hours? It says open at 9am. If you speak to them they won't open their store until like 9:07??? But Priscilla and Lucy will show up to work their part-time jobs at around 8:30am and you can buy stuff through them before 9am. So the actual shop owners (for the bread shop and general store) are pointless usually. Additionally, if the store is empty (but open) you can no longer add a shopkeeper into your party and then enter their store with them to buy things from them. Why. Just why. When you want to buy something that only a specific person sells (Only Hina sells fish, only Heinz sells misc items) you have to wait for them to finally decide to work in their own store. Wonderful.

Monster Item drops. Maybe I'm crazy but the monster drops are seriously a lot harder to get than in previous games. Especially boss drops. It's almost impossible to get the rare drops now. I don't even want to try anymore. And as far as I know, the only place to buy monster items is through Heinz, but his items are actually misc. items, not specifically monster drops. So you'll be lucky to check his store (whenever tf he decides to actually work) for any monster items you might want instead of farming for the drops. Sighs.

Difficulty. This game is too easy. There is little to no challenge whatsoever. I had to increase the difficulty setting to hard mode and it was still too easy. I beat it at level 139, never once did I need to grind or level. In fact, your character levels up way too quickly for the pace of the story. I had zero trouble with any of the bosses and even the final boss was a breeze. Quite sad. Though because I am not new to the franchise, it's likely that newcomers would have some trouble in the later parts of the story.

Fishing cons. Idk how you fck up fishing but they sure did. You have to stand further back now because the pole is so long that you'll miss the fish you're aiming for. In fact, it's seriously hard to aim period. You'll end up recasting more often than not. Fish come in the various sizes but they don't seem to have the darker or faded characteristics that can indicate whether it's a rare fish or not. The graphics make it hard to tell. The pros that i've already mentioned are welcomed but it doesn't negate the fact that I do not enjoy fishing like I did in previous games.

Mining/Lumbering Cons. You can no longer strike three times consecutively when mining/lumbering. This sucks lol. Even when you upgrade your axe or hammer, powering up the tool does nothing for getting wood and material stone--it only expands the area of your strike. So it takes longer to get wood/stone from stumps and rocks now since you have to strike the full 9 times but it's not too bad. It's also harder to aim now as well so that's also unfortunate.

Seasonal Fields? Kiss them goodbye! That's right, there are no seasonal fields in rf5 because devs are insane! You instead have the farm dragons that seem to look seasonal based on the fact that they are designed after elements like earth, water, and fire. But no, these dragons are simply extra fields for you to use. Here's a spoiler: you're not going to use those fields. You're just not. They're kinda useless unless you're obsessed with farming. Now you have to grow your crops out of season like the sad farmer that you are.

Farming cons. Seeds no longer tell you how long it takes to grow the crop. Why. As of June 29th, they fixed this with an update. But I still had to play the whole game without it so fuck you marvelous. The joystick is really sensitive? So when you're trying to use a fertilizer or something on your field you're likely to place it on the wrong 4x4 tile, wasting your fertilizer. So it’s best to hold down the R button when farming. Also the crops look uglie as hell.

Sleeping and warping cutscenes. Just like in rf4 there's a cutscene when you go to sleep that can be skipped easily by pressing A. In rf5, there's a cutscene to sleep and a cutscene when waking up. It takes a bit more than a second to skip these scenes so it gets annoying after a while. Warping is this new feature that replaces our beloved escape spell. Overall I appreciate the feature but I hate it for two reasons. One: there's an annoying ass cutscene for it each time you use it that could be much shorter. And Two: townsfolk now use warp even when inside the town. In previous games, someone exiting your party in town would just manually run to wherever they need to be. So you could easily chase after them if you need to talk to them or give them something. Now, party members use warp regardless of where you are at the time. So say you have someone at 7 hearts and you want to try confessing to them. You would have them join your party, save your game, and then have them leave your party and immediately speak to them and confess before they can run off. If it doesn't work you reload until it does. In RF5 this wouldn't work anymore because they will warp. Now you would have to save, run around town trying to find this person and hope they accept the confession. Otherwise you'll have to play hide and seek again because reloading your file will randomize the resident's locations (if they are not working in a shop)!!!! I often just waited until a festival day because then they will be at the plaza for most of the day and it has a warp point there.

Crafting/Forging/Cooking. They've removed the feature where you can press Y on the ingredients in the menu to add more of that particular item. I miss this feature :'(

Lacks incentive. There is no trophy room from my knowledge. The final dungeon that is meant to be like the sharance maze/rune prana isn't that hard to beat for skilled players and is only 20 floors. After you beat the main story and this dungeon there's not much else to do really.

Request Board. Unlike in rf4, you need to make sure you have accepted requests before you complete them or else it will not count. Previously, you could complete all sorts of tasks and Eliza would still recognize your work even if you accept their request after the fact. ie, shipping goods, harvesting crops, etc. So make sure you don't harvest your special crops before accepting the request it's for!

Return of the "Loli" Dragons... Yeah you read that right. We got more dragons in children's(???) bodies with skimpy clothes. I don't know anymore????¿¿¿

Can't marry the Milfs or Dilfs. Tragic.

Still no homo. Grow up Marvelous.

Reverse Proposal? Reverse Uno card-- Laid low by the patriarchy. You now have to buy the double bed and craft an engagement ring to propose to your man if you're playing as Alice. Marvelous this isn't what we meant when we said we wanted equal rightsssssss This can be seen as a pro if you're a softhearted babey who doesn't like rejecting bachelors' proposals because you feel bad :'( But this is a con for me because I don't want to spend money and materials on a double bed dammit!!!

Misc. Still can't stack dishes or fish. There's no green elemental fairy???All the other elemental ones are there except the green one? why??? Still can't tame the giant Wooly. Some bosses that have insanely awesome designs cannot be tamed and makes me wanna eat glass.

Let's talk about Love~

Relationships. We want them. And half of us only play these games for them. I've only played as the female heroine so far but I'll be updating this review as soon as I finish with the bachelorettes as the male hero.

Confessions

As usual, we must raise the love points of our beloved to 7 hearts before we can attempt to date them. However unlike in rf4, if you fail at a confession once, you will need to raise the LP up an entire level before you can try again with any chance of success. It's imperative you save before attempting a confession now.

Love Events

Each love interest has two love events that must be seen before you can date them. They're reminiscent of older game's style but I felt they could have been a biiiit more interactive or so? Or involved the town a bit more for some of them.

Dating

Once you get your honey to be your bf/gf, you get to choose the nicknames as usual. Then you can go on dates. The first three (non-festival) dates are actually events. You need to see all three events to get married.

Marriage Event

The final event you need to clear before you can marry your sweetie. In my honest opinion, so far for the boys, these events were rather disappointing. They lacked the drama and angst that sort of 'test' the love between the two when compared to rf4. Also this is a huge con for me personally and a minor spoiler but there are no special cutscenes at the end of the marriage event like in rf4. Instead, the cutscene takes place during your actual wedding. I was saddened by this because it took away the depth from the marriage events and the actual character? As it is just a cut and paste type of thing instead of an original cutscene for each person. They lack individualism this way. Also it kinda felt like a way for devs to avoid gay relationships and cut corners :^/....sus.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes...

Children!!!!!! This is actually one of the coolest additions in the game. Just like in rf3, you can have up to 3 children again! Your first child will resemble you, and you will have the option to choose its gender as well as its personality. There are 6 different children, (3 boys and 3 girls), all with different hairstyles, mannerisms, and seiyuus. Your answers will determine which child you get. A year after your first child is born, you will get the option to have a second child. You'll end up with twins, both resembling your partner. You won't get to choose the genders (it will be a boy and girl) but you will get to choose the personalities once more. The children all have canon names too and each kid is incredibly cute. And of course, you're still able to take your kid with you in your party~ ...Though you can only take one kid with you at a time.

So is RF5 good?

Yeah it's a fun game! My theory is that Marvelous forced the devs to release the game earlier than they were ready for, and that's why it's so lacking. But that doesn't mean it's not worth playing! I'd rate it 3.5/5 stars hehe. Not nearly as good as RF4 (full stop 5/5), or RF3 (4/5) but enjoyable nonetheless. I wouldn't recommend it as a first game to play from the series for newcomers though, I feel it's best for vets who can overlook all the cons thanks to loyalty and nostalgia. By the time it’s released in the West, the bugs should all be dealt with too.

So! Definitely buy this game! We want the series to continue and we want RF6 to be better than this--and hopefully Marvelous will make sure of that next time. If you're not a picky person I think you'll enjoy rf5 a lot. If you're like me and have high standards then, well, still pick it up and let it run its course. Then dust off rf4sp and cleanse your gaming palette >;^)

Request: Hey i never ask for a request before but here: like George and female reader are together and she is the daughter of Sirius then the year with Umbridge come and wont leave the reader alone because of her last name then George get very protective and make sure nothing bad is gonna happened to the reader. Ps i really like your writing! AND Hii! I like your writing and i was wondering if u could write a George Weasley imagine where the reader is Sirious Black daughter and its during the year where Umbridge is there and she’s giving a hard time to the reader and George is there to protect her and help her? Sorry this is veery long! Thank you

A/N: Thank You for Requesting. BTW Requests are always open. I kinda ran with this idea and played up dad!Sirius because I love that image. I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you!

Mr. Protector Man

There were only a few weeks left of your summer before you returned for Hogwarts for the final time, at least as a student. Your years at Hogwarts had been filled with twists thanks to the appearance of one Harry Potter, but you really couldn’t complain. In fact, you were quite grateful for his appearance. With someone with a more famous name than yours, you could finally move out of the spotlight and into something that you could call confidence. Not that you were not a confident person, but the constant reminder that your father was a murderer didn’t help in the whole “making friends” part of your life. Luckily, a pair of twins made their way into your life, and you could never explain how eternally grateful you were for their presence.

In your fifth year, however, the attention turned back to you when your father escaped Azkaban. It would have been terrible for you, had you not had Fred and George constantly reminding you of how incredible you were. Overtime, however, you grew more comfortable with the knowledge that your father was free, and when Remus met with you to tell you all that he had learned, you were ecstatic. Finally, you could say that your father was worth the love that you had stored away for him.

Your sixth year also brought about changes to your personality. You found that your confidence grew since people were no longer talking about you and your father. To say that you were grateful Harry was placed in the tournament was selfish, but you were happy to know that you could live your life without being put on trial for everything that you said and did because of your last name. Throughout that year, you were able to send a couple of letters to Sirius that were filled with your life story. He was thankful that you grew up to be happy and didn’t suffer at the hands of muggles like Harry did. All he ever wanted for you was for you to be happy, so when the summer came around, he was stuck at Grimmauld Place, you jumped at the opportunity to finally be with your dad. There were people, those that will not be mentioned, who thought that this was a terrible idea, but Remus suggested that this would be a good opportunity for the both of you.

When you finally moved in, you were nervous to be around the man who was never there to raise you. There was a part of you that resented him, but you understood the circumstances and swallowed your pride. When he saw you for the first time, he practically burst into tears, and you didn’t hesitate to launch yourself into your arms. You were both filled with joy at the thought of finally being able to become a sort of dysfunctional family. The rest of the day was filled with tears and laughter as he told you about his school days and you told him about yours. When Remus came to visit the happy family, he was shocked by how quickly you two got along. He thought there would be some awkwardness, but instead it felt as if the two of you had been together the whole time. He was delighted to see one of his oldest friends return to the world of the happy and see his smile be genuine.

When the Weasley family joined what felt like a party of two, you were even more excited than before, although you were slightly disappointed at the loss of time that was going to be spent with your father. Your routine had changed to accommodate the gingers, but worst of all, you had to keep things under control with George. Sirius was aware that you were seeing someone, but he chose not to think too much into it. It wasn’t until he found the two of you cuddled up on the couch that he realized that your boyfriend was sleeping in the room right beside yours. Now, cue the protective father instinct, and you find Padfoot sleeping in the hallway between the two doors most nights. The problem with this logic was that Sirius was a deep sleeper, and so long as you didn’t step on the poor dog, you could get away with just about anything. You easily tiptoed across his sleeping body to find your boyfriend. George was worried about making this move, so he often let you do it to avoid him losing his life.

With only a few days left, you found that you were beginning to worry about what school would be like when you got back. There were rumors spreading and false information making its way into headlines. Both you and Harry were at risk to some bad treatment from the school, but you just remembered all of the stories Sirius told you about his time at Hogwarts and tried to channel his cool energy. Sirius could sense your change in demeanor, but he chose not to question it. He even looked to George to see if he noticed it as well, and he was pleasantly surprised to see that your attentive boyfriend was indeed acknowledging these small changes. They both wrote it off as some before school jitters, but Sirius and George were still worried about you.

Now, fast forward to meeting the pink toad. Everything in your body ached at the sound of her shrill voice. More than anything, you wanted to throw something at her in hopes of finally shutting her up. It wasn’t until your first class with her, that you really began to feel hatred bubble up inside of you. You were aware of how she mistreated others, especially Harry, so you tried to stay off her radar. Sadly, she was very aware of who you were and reminded you of it every chance she got.

“Miss Black, please put away your wand.” You grimaced at her voice but maneuvered your wand away from the view of the wretched woman. You sighed and started writing down the useless information from the book. Everything that was written down and published was nearly a lie. You put your head in your hand and continued to sketch down those ideas of what a useless institution called “defense against the dark arts.” How was this even true? You lived with Remus and for a while with your father. Both people taught you defense knowing that your last name would be troublesome. This information was vital to your life, but this class was killing you slowly.

“Ahem,” her voice made you want to shove the quill into your ears. “Miss Black, sit up straight and show some respect. It seems that you cannot act like a lady in this class. I will see you in detention tonight. Maybe then you will learn how not to act like the daughter of a murderer.” You scoffed, but you remained quiet. You thought back to your last talk you had with Sirius.

“You know, there are still going to be people who will say things about me.” You sighed at your father.

“Of course I know. I know the truth though, and for now that’s all that matters.” Sirius smiled at your commentary, but he knew that words about your family can hurt, especially when they are pointed at you. He was someone who was unaware of the comments that can be made. He was worried before you were born that his name would be troublesome, but there was never a time that he believed that it would be his own fault.

“I need you to understand that it is not your duty to defend me. The world will not believe the truth, especially given these times. They don’t believe Harry or Dumbledore, which means that they are not going to believe you. Please, promise me that you will take care of yourself first.” You reluctantly nodded your head.

“Fine, but I’m not going to be happy about it. I hate being a reflection of a lie.” You wanted the rest of the wizarding world to know what an amazing man your father was. You wanted to be seen as more than the daughter of someone who murdered his friends without a second thought. You gave your father a hug and murmured a promise to him that you meant to keep.

As you stand before the door that led to the devil, you questioned why you would make a promise that constituted you to put yourself in danger and to lose all that you had worked so hard to maintain in your life. Your night was spent with a throbbing, bloody hand, and a single tear that was not for the physical pain, but the emotional loss you acquired by allowing this witch to have an impact.

The following weeks, you met with the toad in detention. Most of the time, they were small offenses that typically would go unnoticed by other professors. You kept your word to your father the entire time, despite the physical and emotional turmoil of these events. The word “insubordinate” stained your hand and was a constant reminder of how you felt. You felt useless and worthless. This didn’t go unnoticed. George saw this change in your behavior. Your smile was forced, and your eyes were red with tears that he was certain met only your pillow. He knew that he had to take action. He felt terrible for doing something before, but he never knew how bad it was until he saw you that one night in the hallway.

You sat down on the ground and let your back trace the freezing bricks. You took your hand and wrapped it in a bandage, something you knew to bring with you now. You placed the wrapped hand against the wall, as a way to numb the stinging. You didn’t let any tears fall. Instead, you stared ahead of you and drowned out any noises. That was how George found you. He walked over to you and sat down beside you. No words were shared in this exchange. He didn’t know what to say or do to help, so he stayed by your side in silence, hoping that you would say something.

“I’m sorry that you have to see me like this. I will head back up to my dorm and get some sleep. You should too.” You stood up and placed a chaste kiss on cheek and walked briskly to your dorm. George watched your retreating form and realized that he failed to protect you like he wished he could. He made a promise to himself that he would not allow anything else to happen to you.

You were sitting in the great hall when George appeared beside you. He pulled you into his body and kept his arm over your shoulder. You forced another smile and tried not to get emotional. It felt strange to be held like you were so important to someone. George didn’t let you go for a while. Then you both made your way to the classroom that was known to bring pain and grief to many of the students. You sat down and tried to keep your cool. No matter how hard you tried to not cause any trouble, the woman always found a way to bring attention to you in a negative light.

“Miss Black, you should know by now that I am not a fan of your attitude, but this is unacceptable.” You weren’t even sure what she was lecturing you about. Honestly, you couldn’t care less what the issue was.

“Professor, I think you should be respectful of this girl. She has done nothing wrong. You just don’t like her because you don’t like her last name. You should mind your tongue.” Those harsh and direct words came from the mouth of the one person who would always have your back.

“Mr. Weasley, I will see both you and Miss Black in detention. Now, sit down and do your work.” George scoffed and walked over to where you were sitting.

“I don’t think so. This class is over for today as far as I’m concerned.” His act of defiance came to a close with you being led out by him with a shocked look on the woman’s face.

“George. George, stop it right now. We can’t just walk out of class. We are going to get into more trouble.” As you two continued down the hall he stopped abruptly.

“No Y/N. I am not going to stop. You’re the one who needs to stop lying to me. You can’t keep letting her have an effect on you. We both know that you are so much more than the reputation that comes with your name. She’s just jealous that you are more famous and pure than she ever will be. She’s a disgrace to the world. Not your dad, and most certainly not you.” His words brought the tears back. His love for you was unbelievably pure and unconditional.

As George watched you fall apart in front of him, he held you. You clung to him as if he was going to disappear if you let go. You both stood in the middle of this empty hallway without a care in the world. Neither of you were aware of how much time was spent there. Your tears started to dry, and your hiccups eventually dissipated, much to your appreciation. You two only became aware of your surroundings when the sound of footsteps echoed.

“Mr. Weasley, Miss Black. Why aren’t you in class?” You turned your head in the direction of Professor Mcgonagall. As she saw your tear stained expression, her face dropped. She assumed what the issue was. Throughout your years at Hogwarts, she saw a lot of Sirius in you. You reminded her of the chaos your father and his friends brought to school, but you also reflected his kindness and sincerity. There had always been some dissonance between you and some of the professors, but she had always had a soft spot for you. With the terror of the woman in pink, she could only assume that you and Harry were getting the brunt of it. The Weasley twins as well, but she suspected that they were intentional in their actions.

“Sorry professor, but I couldn’t sit there and listen to her talk to Y/N like that any longer.”

“Please professor, it was my fault. Don’t let George get in any trouble for protecting me.” You couldn’t handle knowing that you were the reason George was in trouble two times in the span of an hour with two different professors.

“Did you two receive detention from her?” You both nodded. “Well, I will make sure that it is spent with me instead. Now, I don’t expect you to return to that class, but please try to be punctual to the others. Oh, and Miss Black, don’t let her words get to you. We both know the truth.” She offered you a smile and assured you both that she would see you in her office for detention, which you both know would not be a real detention.

That night, you sat by George and talked. For the first time in too long, the two of you discussed how you were feeling.

“Y/N you know that your name is not a representation of you. Her words are nothing more than a jealous filled disgust. She holds the opinion of the ministry who refuses to acknowledge the truth of our times. But I need you to come to me if she ever says or does anything to you when I am not around. I will always do what I can to be there for you because you are worth the world.” You shifted to move closer to his body, and you nodded. You were grateful to him for being there as your voice when you couldn’t be there for yourself.

“Thank you Georgie for being there for me. I love you so much.” He chuckled quietly.

“I love you too, but this wasn’t a one time thing. I am here to be your hero, which I have already proved to be earlier, if I might add. You and I are going to do this together, and I’m not going to let her hurt you anytime soon. I will, however, be working with Fred to get some revenge going. You are welcome to join me, but you can’t be out in the field with us. I’m not going to let you get caught, and get into more trouble. Understood?”

“Yes George, I understand.” You giggled. “Mr. Protector Man.”

“That was all you came up with? I’m ashamed.” He laughed, and you joined in.

“Give me time, I’ll come up with something better eventually.”

When you returned to Grimmauld Place for the holidays, you were ecstatic. Your dad was just as happy to see you, especially to spend the holidays with you for the first time since you were an infant. Sirius was also aware that he owed a lot to your boyfriend. George had sent a letter to his mother that included an additional note for Sirius. He wrote about the issues that you were dealing with due to the pink witch, and how you did everything you could to uphold your promise to him, despite the physical pain you endured. Sirius was proud of you for being strong, but he felt guilty knowing how hurt you were because of him again.

“Y/N, come here. I think we should talk.” You walked over to your dad and sat down beside him. “I know you made a promise to me earlier on, but I hope that we can acknowledge that this woman is not worth your time and energy. I know, because you're a lot like me, that you want to tell her off, and I think maybe you should. I just need you to be careful about it, because I don’t want you getting hurt anymore.” You nodded and thought about all that you wanted to say to her. You always bit your tongue, but you also thought that maybe it was a blessing in disguise that you never told her off. George knew exactly what to do and say to avoid you getting into any more trouble, but you knew that if you spoke your mind, then you probably would get into more serious trouble.

“Thank you, but I think I’ll keep silent a little longer. Plus, I’ve been helping Fred and George with their pranks, so I think that is enough for now.” Sirius’ face lit up knowing that you pranked the toad. That is exactly what he and James would have done.

“So, this George guy,” Sirius began with a smirk on his face, “I approve of him. He’s a good one, and I’m happy he’s with you.” You smiled at your dad.

“Me too. He really is the best.”

“I think him and I need to have a word though.” You sighed at him and gave him a knowing look. “It won’t be anything bad, entirely.” You laughed and stood up and patted him on the back jokingly.

George appeared in the doorway and made his way over to your father. You left the two of them alone, knowing that their conversation was going to be a good one.

After a long while, longer than you expected, George reappeared.

“So, what did you two talk about?” You urged, pointing a finger at his chest.

“You know, a little of this, a little of that. He just wants to know that you’re happy and that I am doing my job. Protecting you of course, and he offered a nice little threat that I should never even think about hurting you because then he would willingly find himself back in Azkaban.” You gasped playfully, knowing that your father would never actually hurt him, and that George could never hurt you either.

“Well, the ministry thinks he is a murderer, so who knows what he might do.”

“I am your own personal Mr. Protector Man, so I don't think that he is going to be able to touch me.” You both laughed at his comment.

“I thought you hated that name. You told me you were ashamed.”

“It’s growing on me. I love you Miss Black, surname and all.”

“I love you too Mr. Weasley, but I think I like Mr. Protector Man a bit more.” You giggled and rested your head on his chest.

Anon asked : hey! you have a beautiful name mairah, it sounds exotic.. i just read you were a Scorpio rising, can i ask what do you look like? sorry if it too personal, i just feel scorpio rising just some how very hot so.. i wanted to ask, or can you do a scorpio rising culture?

[ Note : this post is completely based on my knowledge in astrology. ]

I added some more points to this post which was answered by me long ago.

They have very dark eyes. The way they look at people - uff! They can lure anyone with their eyes.

And i have noticed that when they are listening to people they tend to have a very intense eye contact with them.

they have very strong and sharp features.

i dont know but they seem to look good in suits even the women, most of them love to wear suits

they usually have a tan skin-tone

they tend to have this dark aura around them that seems somewhat evil.

If they have no expressions on their face they can look some what angry? (mars influence i suppose)

all of them are very sassy

they are no - nonsense and straightforward people

they always seem to look like they are plotting something

something about them just screams - mystery, secret, sex.

resting bitch face

they dont smile, they smirk.

they have distinct noses or just prominent ones.

they love to wear black or any dark colors even velvet.

i think somehow all of them have a habit of touching their chins while thinking or talking

they might have a habit of touching their nose too

they seem cunning.

they can easily make people obsessed with them

They have sharp jaw lines and bone structure.

Huge foreheads.

They love wearing formal attire.

They love wearing clothes that make them look dominant and powerful.

They can command people easily.

It's hard to not notice them - they can easily catch your attention.

The mars influence makes them athletic

So even if they don't work out that much - they have a good stamina and flexibility.

Their voices are usually deep and seductive.

Something about them screams 'silent leader' to me

Like they don't even have to try - leadership comes to them naturally.

They have the habit of clenching their jaws and hollowing their cheeks

Not to forget the iconic rolls of their tongue.

They like playing with fire - literally or metaphorically.

They walk confidently - like they own the place.

They might have a habit of running their hands through their hair.

They can come off as Rude without meaning to.

They can be pretty moody sometimes

They can be either literally or metaphorically surrounded by the thoughts of dead and the unknown - sex included.

They are possessive.

Either the people around love them or they hate them or some may even may fear them. Not like they care though.

They always receive strong reactions from the public

They are very hardworking and energetic in their workplace.

They are very critical of themselves, take for example - social media: they will not post anything just like that. They will make sure that everything is perfect in the post. They will recheck it thousand times before actually posting it - they might even not post it in the end because of their overthinking.

Hella stubborn and Sometimes petty.

They can pick up the energy in a place so well.

They can see right through a person's facade.

And I am not even kidding - they are very observant - they can predict your next step correctly - how? By looking at your face and body language.

They can even sometimes complete sentences for other people.

They are very secretive - this shouldn't come as a surprise. They might know everything about you but you will know very little about them. They won't open up completely unless they trust you.

They love money ok? They might've understood the importance of having money from a young age.

Trust me, they have been through shit.

They seem experienced.

They can see the dark side of things which people ignore.

They are strategic AF. Every move is well planned by them. They don't rush.

They can pick up energies of people very well. They will ignore people who give them a bad energy.

They have amazing intuition!

They are more mature than their age.

They don't trust others easily - but people easily put their faith in them.

It seems like they had to grow up at a young age. Like before their peers.

They are interested towards the occult and the unknown. They might've feared it when they were young - but eventually they got curious about it as they grew up.

They can achieve fame easily. It's as if they are meant to. ( 10th house Leo )

They mostly like to be alone.

They will only allow you to see things that they want you to see.

They have no filter. They say what they think and do what they want.

You can always find them sitting with a frown on their face.

They have a huge self respect for themselves.

They are very individualistic - they wont ask you for help unless they really need it.

They are very intelligent.

They all have beautiful smiles but they don't smile very often.

Low-key perfectionist.

Good taste in fashion though.

Extremely critical of people and themselves.

Chapter 17 - Speak.

Episode 3. *Back on the mountain, things seemed to be slowing down* Adrian: Sam.. Sam: Mh? *He was deeply concentrated in taking care of Adrian's wounds, getting to know his body on a more personal level, so he could better tend to his Alpha in the many years ahead of them* Adrian: *He sighed soft from pain* Will you play that song for me again? Sam: *He startled a bit and looked questioning at Adrian* Do you think that's a good idea? Wont that inevitably lead to more pain? Adrian: *He sighed soft* The text is a bit of a blur to me, a lot of things happened and it was as if it put me into some sort of trance* Sam: *He couldn't hold back a tiny smile* That's your anchor... Adrian: .... I guess that means you're my anchor.... does that mean that you and I? Sam: No *he sighed soft* I wish it were that simple, but no. All sorts of people, things, places, even scents or music.. movies... tastes... you name it... anything can be your anchor, anything that you have a close personal connection to, which eases you and puts you in a state of calm, or in this case THE closest personal connection. But that doesn't at all have to mean love in that way, or love in any sort of way for that matter. Adrian: *He staid quiet for a while, then spoke instead of groaning from pain* So you would say you... love me? In... that way... I mean....

Sam:............ *he sighed soft* Let's not complicate things further than they already are. *Truth was, he did, he had tried to deny it for months, not very successfully, but he had quite skillfully kept it under some sort of control, until a few weeks ago where his guards suddenly had slowly dropped one by one. He couldn't pinpoint the exact moment he had fallen for Adrian, or if it was even important, he frankly was still very new at love and knew very little from his own experience of it*

Adrian: *He understood the unspoken words, even if he tried his best to deny that he did, so he just kept quiet and tried his best to block out the pain of not only the wounds, but also the broken bond, by grabbing Sam's free hand, squeezing it tight*

Sam: Perhaps we will be lucky that a different, much stronger love will grow out of this *he said in a hopeful voice and returned to tending Adrian's body*

Adrian: *He grunted soft and sighed* Are you done soon? There's only so much of this burning sensation I can stand!

Sam: .... *he chuckled soft* Don't be a grumpy baby! I'm done when I'm done. *Truth was, he had been done for a short while, but he had no idea where they would go from here, so he had started stalling, to be able to be close to Adrian as much as possible*

Adrian: Sa-aam *he spoke in a deep, annoyed voice, and grabbed his hips, pulling him closer against his own body* You *he groaned deep and hoarse* are playing with fire....

Sam: *He closed his eyes and sighed with pleasure of feeling Adrian's wet naked body against himself, although he was still wearing clothes. One palm of his now pressed against Adrian's hairy chest, the other hand still holding the small herb bowl. But not for long. Cause as soon as he felt Adrian's breath against the side of his neck, he lost all control, and the bowl too, sending the wooden bowl clattering down on the bathroom floor. He gasped soft and pulled away from Adrian* I need to make a phone call! *He quickly stood up and jumped out of the bathtub, nearly slipping*

Adrian: *He quickly grabbed onto Sam, and prevented his fall* Careful!

Sam: *He blushed lightly as he nodded and tried to avoid eye contract with Adrian* Thank you

Adrian: You aren't usually clumsy... isn't that your dads thing?

Sam: *He frowned soft* You.... make me nervous

Adrian: *He looked at Sam surprised* Do I scare you, because of what happened?

Sam: No. Not at all. *He sighed deep* Nervous and scared is not the same. I'm not scared of you. But I am nervous around you because of what's happening between us and what isn't. I'm sorry, I gotta go make that phone call, it's important..

Adrian: *He nodded soft and looked at himself* Am I supposed to sit here?

Sam: No.. sorry *he sighed soft and handed Adrian a big towel* Well you can, but you can also get up. Everything above the water is closed and dried by now.... you don't have many cuts below your waist and the ones you do aren't deep. Leave the bathroom as it is, I will clean it when I come back down... get some rest. You have probably already figured it out by the looks of it, but the room down here in the basement is Andy's... make yourself at home *he forced a soft smile* I'm sure you will find your way around the tv and what else you need. I will bring down something to drink, and if you're hungry I can-

Adrian: *He shook his head lightly* I'm not, but thank you

Sam: *He sighed soft and pointed at the sink counter* There's some lose sweat pants, a big hoodie and socks... I forgot boxers... I can get you some and then I have to go and-

Adrian" S'fine *he mumbled soft* Go do your thing...

Sam: *He nodded soft* I'll be back down as soon as possible

*The shopping explorers arrived at Ezra's place, shortly after thanking Caleb, saying good night, setting up a portal and jumping it*

Andy: *He was still making whiny noises as he marched directly into the living room, looking directly at Ben, signaling for him to take his earphones off* Can we go please?!! *he looked at Ben with a desperate puppy face* Now! *he just wanted to get out of there before his still amused fan base would catch up with him* We can go to my place... please!

Ben: Uhm... what about Pete?

Andy: *He whimpered at Pete's name* He was going to stay here anyway!

Ben: Yes, but is he okay?

Andy: *He whimpered soft* Pete is fine! He's with Daniel

Ben: With?

Andy: BEN FOR FUCK SAKE! CAN WE LEAVE PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!

Daniel: *He walked into the living room still mighty amused* So listen to this! Andy and Gizmo got so drunk they ended up making out in a fucking storage closet!!! *he laughed* Gizmo thought that Andy's butt was Willow's and Andy thought that Gizmo was P-

Pete: NO! *He quickly jumped Daniel's back, smashing the rest of his ice cream into Daniel's face/mouth area, the both of them tumbling down on the ground, landing in a big, messy pile, legs and arms everywhere*

Ben* *He frowned suspiciously*

Willow; *Who had seen it all from the hallway, quickly walked into the room, chuckling amused* Fucking idiots!

Ben: Gizmo was? *he looked at Andy*

Andy: Uhm *he scratched the back of his neck nervously* Damon Albarn... I discovered that apparently I had a crush on him since the 90's....?

Ben: *He looked at both Andy and Pete suspiciously* What did you guys do?!

Andy: *He chuckled nervously, getting the feeling IF he had actually made out with the real Pete, Ben wouldn't at all have approved!* Actually nothing... well not together at least! Uhm Daniel and Pete hung out most of the time after we bought him clothes and I was... *he frowned deep* Busy!... look, I wanna go home now, and you are more than welcome to follow, but I am leaving right now! Oh and Adrian wont be available tonight, he's at the mountain with Sam and Reena.... did someone fill you in on everything or?

Ronan: I filled him in *he suddenly spoke from a dimmed corner of the room*

Andy: *He squealed loudly and made a little startled jump* WHY THE FUCK DO YOU DEMONS ALWAYS SIT AROUND IN DARK CREEPY CORNERS?!?!

Ronan: *He chuckled amused* There's a lamp right there! *he casually pointed with a pen in his hand, at a small reading lamp, standing right next to him on a small side table*

Andy: *He frowned deep and whimpered*

Ronan: Yes, Ben has been informed, and him and I have agreed, that for now, and until Adrian gains some more control, it's best he stays away from Adrian. There's no need for defenseless people to stay too much around an untamed wolf, there's simply a too big risk to end up as a roasted rabbit, in a case like that *he smiled soft at Ben and sighed, then looked back at Andy* So the two of you are free to head to Hidden Springs if you wish, just stay away from the mountain.

Andy: Yes, of course Ronan! *He said in a slightly dramatic tone* I'm not so fucking dumb that I will drag Ben directly into the lion cage!

Ronan: I never called you dumb, but sometimes you don't have the best judgment.... as for example mistaking your childhood friend, who looks nothing like "Damon Albarn"... to be "Damon Albarn" *he chuckled amused as he looked at Pete* Who knows what might happen if you enter that "mountain".

Andy: FINE! *He bit back* I wont enter the fucking "mountain"... jeez! It's not even worth it with the drama that would probably follow if I did enter "THE MOUNTAIN"!!

Ronan: Good *he smiled satisfied* Glad we agree.

Andy: Thanks dad! *he rolled his eyes, then looked impatiently at Ben* I'm fuck out of here! You can follow if you want, but I'm fucking done with this company for the night!

Ben: Uhm yeah *he stood up slow and looked at the pile of Daniel/Pete on the floor* I guess you will be okay over here?

Pete: *He nodded eagerly* Go!

Ben: *He nodded soft and grabbed Andy's hand* Okay...

Daniel: *As Andy and Ben left the room, he looked at Pete, half trapped beneath him, and licked his face, big and juicy* Mmmmm! Would it be problematic as well, if I wanted a bit of "THE MOUNTAIN”?!

Ronan: *He couldn't help but laugh* There's certainly new meat on the menu, huh?

Pete: Ehehehehehehehehehehehehe

*The wind had picked up on the mountain, shaking the old pine trees, making them creak and swoosh, rain falling hard against the windows. In the distance a thunder had started rumbling, and it was as if the sky felt exactly what Adrian was feeling, as he laid lonely on Andy's bed. But in reality it was just typical mountain weather during late Autumn*

Adrian: *He sighed as he turned around, the bedsheets smelling so strongly of Andy, he could swear he was almost feeling his presence right next to himself. But every time he moved, he was met with the reality that he was all alone in the bed, and Andy was millions of miles away. He tried to focus on listening to the sound of Sam from upstairs, without listening in on the conversation, but it was hard, he didn't have much control over his wolf hearing yet, specially under the influence of alcohol, so before he realized it, he ended up listening to parts of the conversation*

*On the phone*

Sam: Doru.... *he sighed soft* I'm sorry I'm calling so late.... I know I just talked Akin's ears full with medical stuff, but if it's possible, I would like to take up just a tiny bit of your time as well, before the two of you go back to sleep?

Doru: *He sighed sleepy, but genuinely didn't mind, answering in his usual warm and caring voice* Of course, Samuel, what is the matter?

Sam: *He sighed deep* I guess I am calling for an advice. From Beta to Beta. Or to be more clear, from a Beta who's in love with his Alpha, who's Alpha doesn't love him back, to a Beta who-

Doru: Used to be in the same position?

Sam: Something like that, yes... *he sighed deep and sat down on a chair*

Doru: I see. *He sighed soft* Well. The very important question here is; what is most important to you? Your feelings for Adrian, or your loyalty as his Beta?

Sam: My loyalty as his Beta.

Doru: Hm. And now answer as Sam, not as a Beta.

Sam: The answer stays the same. *He answered without hesitation*

Doru: Good. As long as that is your priority, you can remain professional and keep your position as Beta, but if it ever shifts, you know you must resign.

Sam: *He nodded soft* I am aware, yes. But how do I be a successful Beta for him, while having such feelings? How do I keep the balance.

Doru: By always putting your Alpha's needs first.

Sam: Really? *he sighed deep, he had hoped for another answer*

Doru: No Sam. It is our written duty, yes, but that doesn't mean we should completely forget ourselves. Look, I can't tell you what to do, because we are all different. Even Beta's. I can only tell you what worked for me, and perhaps it will be useful for you as well, or spark and idea of how you can get this thing to work for the two of you. Or perhaps you will realize being Adrian's Beta will compromise yourself too much, and you will freely resign on your own.

Sam: That's never going to happen. *He said firm and confident*

Doru: Okay. I didn't think so either, I am simply laying the cards on the table.

Sam: Alright *he sighed soft* then please tell me how you handled it.

Doru: Pretty alright for the most part. Other times I struggled, a lot. But it got easier over the years. Decades. I learned to take whatever I could get from him. And if I must give you an advice that would be exactly it. Learn to take whatever he gives you, no questions asked. There will be times where he will need the very closeness of you, and it will seem almost as if your feelings are returned, Live for those moments, however short or long they might be. They will give you the strength you need to stand by his side in everything that might come your way. You have a long and windy journey ahead of you two that you must walk together as Beta and Alpha. And no matter how much we might at times disagree, Beta's rule is ALWAYS to take care of Alpha and put his needs above anything else. Even kids. Love is just a side quest, Sam. Don't get too caught up in it, or you lose yourself. Take what he can give, and give him exactly what he needs in return, when he needs it. Not sooner, not later. There will be enough curve balls down the road to deal with, no need to turn this pit stop into the main event, cause it will only break you apart and make your job impossible. And if you fail him, you put him in danger. An Alpha is only as strong as his Beta. Meaning by allowing yourself to become weak by your feelings for him, you weaken him as well. Exposing him to all sorts of danger, which might even lead to his fall. So find a way to be as casual about your feelings as possible, even if they aren't casual at all. And keep them that way. Only let them flow when he needs them, then pull them back as soon as he no longer feast from them. And perhaps fate will one day smile at you, like it did to me, and grand you with the love from your Alpha that you have wanted for years. And if that ever happens, it's a truly magical feeling, Sam, and you will know he was all worth is.

Sam: *He sighed deep* I already know he is.

Doru: Then you are possibly wiser than I, Sam. I'm sure you will find your own rhythm soon enough. Be patient with him, but most of all be patient with yourself. You will both need that patience.

Sam: *He sighed deep and nodded* Thank you.

Doru: No problem, my young Beta, and most importantly, remember to find space to take care of your own needs in between.

Sam: *He nodded slow and sighed* I'll try my best.

Doru: I know you will. If anyone can do this, Sam, it's you. I have my faith in you. You and I are made of something very similar, so don't doubt yourself. You will succeed and be the best Beta Adrian could ever need, if you put your mind to it.

Adrian: *He was slowly dozing off by now, and was no longer paying much attention to their conversation*

Doru: And Sam, he might get jealous at times, and at first it will spark your hope that he might be falling for you too. In my experience this will mostly mean that you as his Beta, are sorta his territory, I know it sounds wrong and so anomalistic, but we are after all. So when... if... he gets jealous, try not to let yourself get carried away. He loves you, yes, you belong to him, yes, you are his, undoubtedly, but not necessarily in the ways you might be dreaming of. I'm sorry to be the party pooper here, but I wish someone would have told me these words centuries ago! This way my time with Akin would have spared me from a lot of unnecessary heart ache.

Sam: *He sighed deep*

Doru: It sounds like you need a break. Take care of your own immediate needs, then return to take care of his.

Sam: *He looked towards Reena, sitting on the couch, watching Scoopy Doo* I guess I will do that.

Doru: Take care Sam, and if there's anything else, feel free to call, day or night.

Sam: Thank you.

*Meanwhile in Hidden Springs valley*

Andy: Ughhh *he rubbed his temples as they arrived at his room via a portal* I'm getting a fucking headache... I think my hangovers already started, I'm getting fucking old!

Ben: *He forced a soft smile and shrugged* Maybe I should leave you alone then?

Andy: No *he grabbed Ben and pulled him into a tight hug* No fucking chance of that *he planted a soft kiss on his hair* I fucking made out with Gizmo tho *he wrinkled his nose*

Ben: *He shrugged lightly and looked up at Andy with a soft smile* It could have been Willow

Andy: *He frowned deep and whimpered* Fuck you Ben! *he chuckled hoarse* I'm taking a shower! *he pointed his tongue at Ben and quickly walked to his bathroom, shouting from out there* Make yourself at home!

*Back at the mountain Sam had quickly checked on Adrian, and since he had dozed off he thought he'd do as Doru had told him. So he found some leftover food, heated it for Reena and him, and after they had munched it all, he now laid on the couch, relaxed and quite drunk from the large amount of wine they had sipped with their food*

Sam: You know *he pointed aimlessly into the air* I'm fucking horribly unlucky when it comes to love!

Reena: *She chuckled soft and shook her head* No, you really aren't. He loves you, Sam, maybe not in the way you could hope for, but he does in fact love you. Nor has he denied your love. I think he has been quite reasonable with you, and not in any way pushed you or your feelings away. And regarding Ava, I am positive it was quite hard for her to leave you, and even harder to stay away. But she did what she had to do for herself, and you should follow that lead.

Sam: Doru said ssssomething similar!

Reena: *She chuckled soft* He did now?

Sam: Yes... he said I should take care of my own needs, then return to take care of Adrian's needs.

Reena: Wise *she smiled warmly* And what is your needs then, Sam? *She tilted her head, observing him* You called me for a reason right?

Sam: Mhm *he nodded soft*

Reena: Do you remember that reason? *she spoke in a warm sensual voice*

Sam: *He nodded slow*

Reena: And do you still feel like that's a need you need covered?

Sam: *He nodded again and moaned soft*

Reena: Then we better take care of it as fast as possible *she purred, and slowly crawled up on his lap, unzipping his pants* My my already hard *she smirked playfully and grabbed his dick, stroking it soft*

Sam: .... what if I think of him?

Reena: Well try not to *she chuckled soft* but I wont mind, as long as you don't start calling his name *she said confident as she slowly lowered herself on his dick, moaning soft*

Sam: *He moaned soft and arched his back*

Reena: You just enjoy yourself now... relax, and let me take care of you.

*Down in the valley*

Andy: *He was in the middle of his shower as he heard small feet tapping over the bathroom floor and couldn't help but smile* I can hear you...

Ben: *He snorted soft* Shit! I wanted to surprise you.

Andy: *He chuckled hoarse* It's still a surprise... are you coming in or what?

Ben:..... if you want me to? *he answered in a hopeful voice*

Andy: Believe it or not, I'm not in the mood for anything, but if it's just for being cozy together, sure, you are more than welcome to come in

Ben: *He slowly opened the door to the shower cabin and jumped in, leaning his head against Andy's chest with a satisfied sigh* This is perfect!

Andy: *He smiled soft and wrapped his arms around Ben* It sure is!

*Back on the mountain, Adrian's nap soon enough was disturbed*

Adrian: *He startled awake from loud moans coming from upstairs*

Sam: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Reena: OHHHHHHHHHHH MY LOOOOOOOORD!!!!!!!!!!

Sam: *Loud groan of pleasure as he came*

Reena: YES BABY!!! YES!!!! GIVE IT TO ME!!!! *loud moan of relief as she came as well*

Adrian: *He frowned deep and grabbed a pack of cigs from the table, pinning one between his teeth as he got up, found some Converse All Stars on the floor, put them on and walked out into the garden. A storm was raging by now, but he didn't care. He lit his cig, and sat down on the middle of the lawn, observing lightning and thunder over the valley, as he sat there in the rain*

Sam: *About 20 minutes later he dragged his tired, still slightly tipsy body down to the bedroom, but suddenly startled more awake, at the sight of the empty room and the open door Adrian had left, not to mention a bunch of wet leaves that had blown in on the carpet* Shit! *He quickly ran to the door and peeked out into the weather raging garden, right away spotting Adrian sitting on the lawn* Fuck! *He rushed out into the garden, stopping in front of Adrian* WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?! *he had to yell in order to be louder than the thunder, rain and wind*

Adrian: Smoking *he mumbled, Sam barely able to hear him, so he had to tune in with his wolf ears*

Sam: YOUR CIG IS SOAKED!!! IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN SMOKING FOR A LONG TIME! JESUS!!! YOUR LIPS ARE TURNING BLUE!!! WE HAVE TO GET YOU INSIDE!!!

Adrian: S'fine!

Sam: S'NOT FINE!!! *He frowned deep* NOTHING IS FINE ABOUT ANY OF THIS!!! WHY ARE YOU IN THE GARDEN, ADRIAN!??! YOU'RE SOAKED!!!

Adrian: ......... You were having sex with Reena!!!

Sam: *He frowned questioning, then remembered what Doru had said* Right... territory *he sighed soft and grabbed Adrian's hand*

Adrian: *He quickly pulled his hand away from Sam* S'fine!

Sam: *He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, then looked back at Adrian* I'm sorry I had sex with Reena!

Adrian: *He looked at Sam, wet strands of hair stuck to his face* It's not like you are cheating on me, Sam...

Sam: ........... *he shrugged and stuck his hands in his pockets* Then why does it feel like I am?

Adrian: *He sighed deep and looked at the grass, clearly affected by Sam's words which could only mean he felt it too* I don't know?

Sam: *He observed Adrian for a short moment, then decided to go with his guts. He ran back inside, dried his wet hands, sat down on the bed, grabbed a guitar, and started playing* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpxW75yi0MI

Adrian: *He quickly got up as he heard the first notes of the guitar and walked back to the room, although he didn't walk inside, he staid in the open door frame, observing Sam closely. And this time he heard every word and every emotion behind. Understanding exactly how important it was.*

Sam: *As the song stopped he sat still with the guitar, not quite knowing what to do, or if he should even look at Adrian*

Adrian: *He was the first that moved, slowly walking into the room, closing the door. He walked almost silently over the floor, grabbed the guitar and slowly laid it on the table next to them. he didn't say anything, he just grabbed Sam's wet shirt and tucked it lightly*

Sam: *He understood the message and slowly stood up, lifting his arms so Adrian could pull the wet cloth off*

Adrian: *He threw the wet fabric on the floor, slowly tabbing a foot against one of Sam's then kicked off the wet Converse from his own feet, followed by his own wet hoodie*

Sam: *He slowly kicked his brown leather boots off, then his socks*

Adrian: *His hands gently rested on Sam's hips, as he slowly pulled him closer, end bend down, kissing and licking Sam's abs passionately*

Sam: *He sighed soft from pleasure, resting his hands on Adrian's cold back, hoping it would somehow warm him up, although his own hands was almost as cold as Adrian's skin*

Adrian: *He moaned soft and warm against Sam's skin, and quickly unbuttoned his pants letting the wet jeans drop to the ground, slowly slipping his boxers off too*

Sam: *He sighed soft as he observed himself standing naked in front of Adrian, his Alpha, still kissing and licking on his upper body, the sensations running through Sam, was almost too much to handle. So he reached for the elastic waist of the sweatpants Adrian was wearing, and slowly pulled down the soaked fabric, sighing soft from satisfaction when he got reminded that Adrian wasn't wearing boxers*

Adrian: *He slowly stepped out of the wet pants and pressed Sam backwards, till they fell down on the bed with soft moans*

Sam: *He instantly wrapped his legs around Adrian's legs, moaning soft and inviting, needing to feel his Alpha as close as possible*

Adrian: *He quickly found his way to Sam's mouth, kissing him deep and passionate, craving to be intimate with his Beta. Much more intimate than they had ever been before, so he slowly kissed his way down Sam's neck, chest, stomach, all the way down to his thighs. He sucked and bit them gently, planting demanding kisses here and there*

Sam: We don't *he sighed the words out between tiny moaning sighs and light shivers* we don't ever kiss while-

Adrian: We do now *he mumbled against Sam's skin, having noticed they had suddenly seemed to have added that to the menu, although at the very beginning of them getting involved sexually, they had agreed that kissing was off limit, since it was way too intimate for any of them to commit to it. Another thing that had never fully been on the menu, was blow jobs or rim jobs*

Sam: *He sighed steamy from the pleasure of hearing Adrian commit to them kissing* ❌Short sex scene START - readers must be 18+❌ ❌ (To skip sex scene, scroll till next marking) ❌

Adrian: *He licked his way up Sam's thigh, and before anyone could second guess it, his tongue slipped over Sam's balls*

Sam: *A surprised moan escaped him, and he quickly bit into his knuckles to prevent himself from having an even stronger reaction*

Adrian: *His tongue slowly followed all the way up Sam's dick, his lips locking around the tip, as he gave it a juicy, greedy suck*

Sam: *He moaned deep and arched his back, digging his fingers into the sheets* We *he gasped* don't do that either!

Adrian: *He moaned soft and let Sam's tip slip out of his mouth with a wet slobbering sound* I guess we do now *he said in a hungry drowsy tone, already way too into the moment to stop, and he observed hungrily as a string of pre-cum ran out of Sam's tip, and down his shaft, Adrian quickly leaning down, licking it up*

Sam: *He moaned loud from pleasure and arced his back and neck backwards, his whole body buzzing with intense pleasure, all hairs on his body standing up, goosebumps spreading on his skin*

Adrian: *He got on his knees, slipped an arm under Sam's lower back, hugging him tight as he dragged him closer, swallowing his dick as he instantly slipped two of his fingers from his free hand inside Sam*

Sam: *He moaned even more surprised than before, and couldn't help but chuckle from the intensely overwhelming pleasure he was feeling, unlike any pleasure he had ever felt before, and he couldn't help but chuckle again, when a thought crossed his mind, of how amazingly talented a handyman really could be with his hands! This grumpy greased up mechanic, operating his body as if it was just another car in need of service, and Adrian knew exactly where every button, wire and dent would be found*

Adrian: *He moaned deep and slobbered on Sam's dick, enjoying how much the taste of Sam's pre-cum made his mouth water. He wiggled his fingers inside Sam, and got beyond turned on by the way it made his body squirm like a worm on a hook. He had never tasted or felt Sam in this way before, and he was determined to let himself get lost in this intense pleasure between the two of them*

Sam: *He moaned loud and begging as he felt cum already shooting into Adrian's mouth, digging his fingers into Adrian's hair, demanding his head closer, so Sam's dick automatically slipped into Adrian's throat*

Adrian: *He gagged lightly and quickly pulled away from Sam's dick, gasping hard for air* Damn! *He took a deep breath and lowered himself onto Sam, stroking his hair lightly* Sam.... ❌Short sex scene END - readers must be 18+❌

Sam: Mmh? *he mumbled soft and drowsy*

Adrian: *Anything else he wanted to say, seemed too difficult to let out, but somehow it seemed as if Sam got it anyway. There were suddenly a deep understanding in his eyes, and Adrian could swear he even saw him nod. So as he leaned back in to kiss him, this time it was much softer, still with great passion, but more tender, loving. And as he slipped inside Sam, there were nothing rough about it as there usually were, it was warm, soft and careful, intimate. This time, Alpha made love to his Beta. This time both their needs were met.*

*This night, someone became pregnant. Someone not anticipated. A spark of destiny that one day, not so far away from this very night, would lead to someones death.*

Sparkle: *It was early morning, the sun had just started rising as she sat in the ruins of the burned down house, watching the swamp lake running by it. The pink sun, coloring the swamp in naturally romantic shades, and if she had had her artist paints and an easel, she would have quickly painted a sketch. And for a short moment, she longed for home and familiar tools. She snapped out of her daydreaming as she heard him sigh behind her* What's the matter? *She asked in a soft, yet distant voice*

Raven: I was just observing you *he answered in an unusually mild voice* Your body handled the pregnancy well.

Sparkle: I got stretch marks, but I don't care. They are evidence that something I once longed so much for, were actually there, for a moment in time.

Raven: *He was quiet for a while* It suits you. Both the scars, but also the new curves. You have very nice hips now, very feminine silhouette.

Sparkle: What do you want? *she hissed slightly annoyed by his sudden flattery*

Raven: *He snorted soft* It was an honest compliment... I'm rusty

Sparkle: *She shook her head and turned around to face him* There's no need for compliments, your dick is pure business. It happens that we're here together, you have a nice dick, and you certainly know how to use it, and that's all you are to me. An escape from a life I desperately need a break from, and the first truly good fuck I ever had!

Raven: *He kept laying there, just looking at her, not saying a word. And in the rising sun, she noticed for the very first time, just how breathtakingly beautiful he was when all his guards had fallen, and he laid there all soft and vulnerable on the old creaky wooden floor. And for a moment he reminded her of a lost puppy, and she started feeling bad for the words she had let fall from her poisonous lips. Wishing she could take them all back.*

Lonely Together Masterlist

Chapter 4: Waves

You were still getting used to everything, which no one could blame you for. You weren’t used to being around humans let alone lovey happy couples all the time. It was all… disorienting to you. You understood why the rest of the pack acted the way they did with their mates, in a way you also felt some primal need to be the same with Jihoon. But it was just… quite a big adjustment for you.

It wasn’t bad by any means! You knew you’d get the hang of most of it eventually. But there were some things you weren’t sure you’d ever get used to. Like the constant PDA of the couples around you. You didn’t understand the need to be that close to someone all the time or need to be that handsy. You always wondered if maybe Jihoon wanted to be like that, but you never really had the courage to ask in case you wouldn’t like his answer.

You also knew you’d never really like the fact that the pack seemed to refer to you more as a mate than as a wolf. You grew up being a wolf above all else, you considered yourself a wolf first. Now, you were Jihoon’s mate. Just one of the girls. You ate with them, you hung out with them, and you were treated like them even though you were just as strong if not more so than most of the males. Soonyoung didn’t get treated that way even though he was technically Seungcheol’s mate. It seemed unfair. That thought seemed to leave a bitter metallic taste in your mouth, but you just dealt with it because that’s just how it was now.

And you knew you’d NEVER understand the need to give your partner sweet little gooey nicknames. I mean, who the hell decided it was an adorable idea to start calling the person they fuck baby? How the hell was that SUPPOSED to be cute? It was creepy to you. You could tell it visibly bothered Jihoon that you hadn’t called him anything other than his given name, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to call him by anything else. Every cutesy petname you could think of just felt… wrong to you. Sweetheart? Shit didn’t make sense. Hearts were NOT sweet. Sugar? He wasn’t composed of glucose or fructose so that wasn’t right. Prince? He wasn’t royalty, well, at least not that neither of you knew of. Daddy? Even creepier than baby. So you just opted to leave it at Jihoon.

As for you and Jihoon, you’d been doing alright. You were still rather shy around each other, but you were definitely more obvious in your affection with each other. For instance, at breakfast you always seemed to find yourself scooting your chair as close to his as you could manage. And he always made sure you were within his sight. You weren’t sure why. Where could you have possibly gone when you were stuck with a bunch of wolves? But it did make the chambers of your heart constrict extra whenever you noticed him trying to look for you. You had to admit, It was kinda cute.

There was still one problem. You two hadn’t… consummated your bond yet. You were still unmarked even though it had now been weeks of being in the same house together. He hadn’t even tried to sleep with you. It had you confused, shouldn’t he have wanted to have sex with you by now?

“Dude quit being a little bitch and just do it already!” Soonyoung groaned at his younger brother while he pinched the bridge of his nose.

You were currently outside learning how to play soccer with Somi, just far enough away to where you couldn’t hear what was going on inside. They were all watching you guys from the window. You felt someone staring at you so you looked up from the ball next to your feet towards the house. Your mate was eyeing you and had a fond smile flashing brightly at your from his spot. You gave him a sweet one back with a little wave added before you continued on with your fancy foot maneuvering past the younger girl and scored a goal, causing you to jet your hands in the air in celebration. God he loved you.

Jihoon looked away to sigh and he ran his shakey hand through his slick hair, “But how am I supposed to do that? You fuckers are here every second of everyday and she can hear everything that goes on the same as I can. You’re all way too distracting. If she’s anything like me-” He was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

“Which she is.” Mingyu stated with a giant grin on his face while crossing his arms over his chest.

“IF she’s anything like me, she doesn’t want you guys listening in or around when we’re going at it. She’s too private for that” Jihoon emphasized, trying his best to contain his annoyance at the taller boy for his smugness, “Plus, you’re all too lovey with each other, it makes us both awkward and uncomfortable.” He admitted.

Joshua laughed and slapped his hands on his knees where he was sitting down at the table, “So you’re telling me that WE make YOU GUYS uncomfortable? Have you ever even been in the same room with yourself? You’re both ridiculously intimidating to the girls because you’re so quiet. WE know it’s because you’re just shy. But THEY all think you’re some sort of psycho killer dude!”

“Yeah if looks could kill, we’d all have been long dead by now!” Snorted Wonwoo, who had his arm wrapped around his mate possessively.

Jihoon raised his chest out defiantly, slightly annoyed at his pack mates for making fun of his cold exterior, “Yeah? Well at least I can keep my hands off my mate for more than a split second!”

He never really understood the need to keep partners away from other people. That is, until the other day when Chan had accidentally brushed up against your front while trying to reach for a plate. He all but chewed him up and spit him out for it, though you didn’t know that as he did it once you had gone up to bed. He couldn’t help it. His inner wolf just snapped at the poor kid. Though looking back, he’d still do it again. No one should be touching you but him.

“Not for long. You’re getting soft. You’re laughing more at the things she says, you’re joining us on errands more because she goes with, you’re getting more and more protective over her because she’s not marked and you don’t want anyone taking her away from you” Mingyu proudly spoke up much to Jihoon’s shock. He happy that he had taken the smaller wolf off guard with his statement, “You’re getting just as whipped man. You want my advice?” He asked, seeming pretty genuine with his question.

Jihoon nodded at him. Mingyu was surprisingly one of the few who could actually keep a few feet’s distance from his mate. Out of everyone in the pack, he would’ve DEFINITELY expected him to be the one most likely to be attached to his lovers side. But he when he found his mate, he didn’t get possessive over her at all. He just let her do her own thing with relative freedom. He figured he must have had some sort of secret behind being able to control himself and, for your sake, Jihoon figured he should take any help he could get before he got bad.

“Mark her as soon as you can. It helps. You wont get as jealous, at least around us, because we’ll smell you on her.” He shrugged towards his elder, quickly going over and kissing the top of his mates head who was sitting on the ground braiding Josh’s mates hair.

The thought of marking you sent a weird feeling through Jihoon’s veins. He WANTED to. But the real question was, would you LET him? “I don’t know. It could help I guess. But again, you bitches are always here and if I EVER want to do anything with her, you assholes can’t be anywhere near or she’ll refuse.”

“Okay okay! What if we were to all go visit Taeyong’s pack later? Then would you get the stick out of your ass and just fucking get it over with?” Seungcheol interjected with a heavy chuckle.

He was just as glad that his younger brother found you as everyone else. He really needed you in his life, even if he didn’t want to admit it. So he knew he had to help him figure out how to finally make things ‘official’ with you.

Jihoon thought for a moment. There didn’t seem to be a reason why that couldn’t work. He’d just have to make sure you knew to stay behind which, considering how touchy feely the others were, you’d probably be more than happy with that, “That’s….. actually a good idea.”

“Yeah no shit Sherlock. That’s why he suggested it” sneered Jeonghan. Jihoon sent him a small warning growl before Hannie went and collected the other mates and boys to tell them the new plan for the day.

He couldn’t lie, he was super fucking nervous. Other than that day you found out you two were mates, he hadn’t been left alone with you. At least not completely. There was always someone how because of how many people that lived in the house. He didn’t have much experience with girls. He had more experience than you did, but he was still trying to grasp the whole ‘mating’ thing. He didn’t know where to even start. He couldn’t just go up to you and go “hey I need to mark you or I’m gonna go crazy so we need to fuck like rabbits.” I mean, what kind of loser did that? He had to start thinking of a more subtle approach.

And, as if on cue, in came you and Somi from outside after Jeonghan had called for you both from outside. Your cheeks were a bit flushed from being in the sun and your hair that was once put up in a neat ponytail was now falling out in locks towards the rest of your face. You had grass stains on your knees and you had a bit of dirt on your forehead. You looked like you had gotten into a fight with the ground when in all reality, it was just your first time playing a child’s game.

“So, we’re going somewhere?” Somi ran up and kissed Chan on the cheek before he cuddled her in his arms.

“Yeah. WE are. THEY’RE staying here.” He let a playful grin plaster on his face as he pointed at your and your mate.

You cocked your head to the side in confusion, “We are? Why’s that?”

Chan gulped down his dry throat and shifted his eyes towards Jihoon, who was now staring daggers into him, “Oh… um- well… because…”

“Because we’re gonna be doing coupley shit over at Taeyong’s today and Jihoon said you wouldn’t want to watch us make out.” His sentence was quickly interrupted by the oldest alpha, much to your mate’s relief as his answer seemed to satisfy you.

“Ew yeah no. I’ll stay here that sounds gross,” you shook your head and scrunched up your nose in disgust, “Though I think I’ll take a shower. I feel almost as gross as you all are together.” You chuckled as you mad your way up the stairs and to the bathroom.

A little while later after everyone had got themselves together and understood why they suddenly had to leave, they began to head towards the door to depart. You were now upstairs in your bedroom, a towel tightly wrapped around your body and hair as you read a book to work on your Korean. You were pretty good with the actual speaking portion of the language, minus your accent of course, but you were still having a bit of trouble with the spelling and reading. And since it was the native language of most of the people who lived in the house, you figured it was best you study up on it a bit more to become more fluent.

Before you knew it, the others had left. You began focusing on a page of plural ways of speech and were brought out of your gaze by a soft voice near the doorway of your bedroom, “How’s the studying coming along?”

“It’s going about as well as dealing with humans after centuries of avoiding them.” You figured, putting your book down on the bedside table and looking at your mate who was now moving to sit at the end of your bed.

“That bad huh?” He joked while bringing his hand to touch your naked thigh. It brought a light pink blush to your cheeks, but you did your best to avoid it as much as possible and continued the conversation.

You shrugged the heat one your face away, “It comes and goes in Waves. Besides, It could be worse”

“And how’s that?” Jihoon questioned, giving you a tilted head in response.

“I could have had to go watch all the other suck face all day with another pack.” You laughed in amusement at your own joke.

Jihoon hesitated for a moment before he responded, “Well… yeah… about that…” he trailed in an effort to avoid the situation.

“What about it?”

“Wellllll….” He took a deep breath in so he could finish his sentence, “They decided to leave for me- well for us- so we could… have some time alone together…” he brought his newly hot face down to look at his lap so he didn’t have to look you in the eyes as he spoke.

“Alone time?” You bit your lip to hold back a knowing grin. You knew exactly what he was trying to say. But you really wanted to HEAR him say the words. Half to confirm your suspicions, half so that he would squirm a bit.

“Uh yeah. Alone time…” he started to pick at his nails to distract himself. He had never really been this nervous before. Why was he even nervous? You were his mate. It’s not like you’d have an issue with it all… right?

Your pulse was starting to race. The thought of what could happen was heating your body up to the point of concern. You weren’t sure why you were reacting this way, maybe it was because he was your mate, maybe it was because now you could go into heat, you didn’t know. But you did know that if he was going where you thought he was going with his sentence, you’d definitely not be complaining.

You gave him a wondering look, “What do you mean by alone time?” You faked innocence in your question, playing with the edge of the towel wrapped around your body.

He groaned in frustration and threw himself to the bed, landing on his back with a light thud while his hands found their way to his face, “They all left so I could mark you okay?? I knew you wouldn’t want to do anything like that with them here. But I knew I needed to do it soon so that my jealousy wouldn’t get the best of me. So Cheol agreed to have everyone leave for the day so we could just-get it over with” He sighed out, hands still covering his eyes so he could ignore your no doubt astonished face.

But instead, you found yourself straddling him in your easily droppable attire. His hands automatically sent themselves down to hold your hips once his body realized what was happening.

“You know, you could’ve just said that to begin with you know” you seductively let out. His face was absolutely stunned at your sudden behavior change. What actual fucking alien world had he stepped in when he came into your shared room?

what are your tips for making good fantrolls, ive been stuck on it for a while

I am so sorry I left this one in the box for a while, I've been very distracted but I hope this can help.

Note neither I or anyone else should be the say all end all for characters, especially OCs because they are yours you should be able to have the freedom to do what you want. I also wont touch on things like clothing or visual designs because those while they can make a character look cool they arent what make a good character. Just like people someone’s looks dont relate to how interesting, nice, or relatable they are. However these are things that work for me. “Good” is up to interpretation but what I can tell you is what makes a solid and understandable or relatable character.

Cornerstones:

One thing that really helps with any type of character are cornerstones!(they can also be called core themes but it just means the same thing) I know I have said this before but cornerstones are extremely helpful when making a character. They can help with design the most but can also give you lil hints at personalities. Think of it like an oak tree seed. You plant the seed and it grows, it has different branches that go off from its core but it's all part of the same tree. Cornerstones can be anything and with a bit of research you have pretty much everything you need, not to mention it will go super fast. Example: Troll based on Aconitum.

This plant is commonly known as wolf's-bane, give them a wolf lusus and wolf ear horns. (or you could use any of the other nicknames)

The flower is purple,make them a purple blood.

Gender identity: presents as female due to the other nicknames “women's bane” or “queen of poisons”

Aconitum comes from the Greek ἀκόνιτον, which may derive from the Greek akon for dart or javelin, there's your weapon.

Name? Easy could be any of these if you wanna do 6 letters: firmum, flavum, or pascoi. Each are part of the species of Aconitum.

That took maybe 10 minutes looking through wikipedia. So this is like a really easy way to make a character who has a solid theme. So you see how helpful cornerstones are especially with trolls since they are usually based on themes! (also yes anyone can use the example)

Personality:

Personalities are always big ones. Character personalities will also change overtime but characters who are really enjoyed by people are ones who are understandable and relatable. You can even pull off god mode characters if you have the personality and reasons to match up with your character.

Questioning: Usually the more you ask questions about a character like “Does that match them?” you will slowly start to see a personality form. The best characters are ones you don't actually control and you know you have one where they kind of start telling you things about them. Instead of you commanding like “He/she/they do this” it changes to a question “Would He/she/they do this?” and the character will give you an answer. This also allows a character to sort of grow into their own so they're not just copies of their creator’s personality and whims.

Realism: Now realism doesn't mean “non fiction” in this sense, what it means is that a character acts in realistic ways to their environments and stimulus. You sort of need to think about what they would do in situations that would arise in their environment and how they would react based on what you know about them. Things like RP or putting characters in different AU’s helps a lot with this but you can also do it with just coming up with a random prompt and sticking them in it. With realism you also need to know what your characters' limits are, what they can and can't do or what they would and wouldn't do. Trust me giving characters limits to their power isn't bad, it actually makes them more relatable, just like us there's always someone better than us but there's also always someone worse off. Reasons: Every character has their reasons, even super powerful characters have to have reasons to be understood. They can have logical reasons or emotional reasons, it always depends on the character but a mix of both is the best one.

I hope this helps! Also please remember this is just what I have found works for me, everyone will have their own way to create and each way is just as valid! If anyone wants to add on what works for them go for it!

The main 3 (Bakugo, Todoroki, Deku) accidentally hurting y/n during a fight (Mentally and psychically)

Warnings: Angst! (Fluff/ Comfort endings)

Bakugo

Y/n and him had fought, once again, on his anger issues

Y/n hated the fact that he got so mad he would hurt people, and how it effected his reputation as a hero student.

This time was pretty much the same as any other. Deku gets in his way some how during training, he yells, Deku tries to defend himself via apology, Bakugo gets even more angry and yells even more.

The difference was… he burned Deku, to where he had to go to recovery girl for burns.

Y/n was furious.

“How can you take his fucking side!?” Bakugo yelled, his voice ringing through y/n’s ear drums. He held himself strong and firm infront of his dorm, while y/n stood the same.

“I’m not taking sides, Katsuki! I’m saying that I’m not going to let you hurt anyone again over a small argument!” Y/n yelled somehow louder, the whole class crowding around them wanting to cover their ears.

“Shut the fuck up! You know your taking his side! With how much you like that shitty nerd, why don’t you get with him instead!” He could feel his heart pumping as it always did during fights. He may easily argue with the others without a tablespoon of guilt, but whenever he fought with y/n his heart seemed to break more and more by the second.

“Stop being overdramatic! I’m not taking sides, and I don’t like him like I love you, idiot!” Y/n tightly closed their eyes knowing that tears would come up any second now. The fact that he told them to get with someone he seemed to hate made their blood boil. They loved him and only him.

He walked forward, noticing the tears running down y/n’s face. He wanted so hard to wipe them away and for them to bury their face in his chest, softly combing his hand through their hair and telling them that he didn’t mean that, that he loved them so much, he would give up everything for them.

He put his hand firmly on their shoulder, trying to tell them that he wanted to help them right now. And he wanted to stop fighting.

But, of course, this was right after late night training. He was still sweaty and hot. And as his quirk works… he burned their shoulder. Not enough for recovery girl, but enough to leave a mark.

Y/n stepped back, processing what had just happened. They were in shook and didn’t feel the burn at first, but soon the numbness gave away. It hurt like hell. They quickly ran in the other direction to their own dorm, violentlypushing the others out of the way.

Bakugo’s face of shook made the others feel unsettled. They quickly separated, all ready to talk and gossip about it in the morning.

His footsteps echoed through the halls, not able to catch up before y/n slammed and locked the door.

“Y/n! Y/n, please! I’m so sorry, I-I was still sweaty after training and I was so worried about you crying and I just-“ He slammed his fist against the door, much harder than he intended.

He then quieted down, wanting to see if he could hear anything. Gently, clearly trying to be hidden, small cries came from the other side. He heared slow footsteps towards the door and y/n leaning their head on the door.

“…” Y/n started quiet. Bakugo leaned his head on the spot he thought y/n leaned theirs. “That hurt, Bakugo Katsuki.” They said just loud enough to be heard though the door.

“Please, Firecracker, let me in. I need to tell you that I’m sorry.” His eyes dropped with regret. A part of him wished everyone else was there still to see how much he really cares for his lover.

He could feel them slowly open the door, a small creak coming from the crappy floorboards.

“Firecracker?” He said with a sad smile as y/n peaked out from the inside. They nodded to themself and opened the door.

“Katsu? Are… are we okay, right now?” They mutter, standing, trembling at their door. Bakugo didn’t dare touch them, knowing he would scare them again.

His pride returned from y/n opening the door for him, seeing him as good enough for it. He wanted so hard to apologize. But being Bakugo Katsuki, he had a hard time saying sorry.

“I- um… I’m really, really, really, really sorry, Y/n. I know I shouldn’t have yelled at you, you were just trying to help, and I was being petty and telling you to get with Deku, and I was so emotional in the moment and my quirk just went without thinking-“ His ranting was interrupted by y/n cupping his face with their hands.

“It’s fine, Katsu. I’ll need an ice pack, but beside that I’ll be fine. I’m glad you said sorry, I love you so much. Really.” Y/n said, their skin feeling warm on Bakugo’s cheeks. Bakugo gently smiled, his eyes closed, and held y/n’s hands to his face, wanting so much more but at the same time for nothing to ever change from this moment.

“Do you think it’ll leave a scar?” He asked under his breath. Y/n paused and nodded.

“Not a big one. Wont last forever, maybe a few days.” Y/n sighed, knowing this would make Bakugo feel awful. He was visibly saddened by this, as expected.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault for being so angry all the time.” He looked away, not daring to look them in the eye. His eyes switched from their bed to the doorframe, back to the bed.

“How about you try showing this side of you, one that can feel guilt and cares about others, to other people besides me?” Y/n asked in a rather joking tone, even though they weren’t joking in the slightest.

He looked down at his bare feet for a second, then back up, into their eyes that he could get lost in forever. “I think, maybe I could. I like having that side only being yours, though. So you know I’m yours, and your mine.”

Y/n chuckled. “Maybe share that love with the whole world.” They got on their tippy toes and kissed his forehead. “Now, you should go to bed. It’s about nine, which is late for you.”

Todorki

Y/n and him barely argued.

If a issue came up they would sit down and talk about it like mature adults, even if the others tried to drop in and put thier opinion in because they found it funny.

Y/n very much understood that Todoroki, even after Deku’s empowering speech at the sports festival, didn’t like using his fire quirk.

There would be times where he would use it with a small grudge, and others where they could tell he wanted to stop using it so badly.

But the difference between this time and any other using his left side, was that they couldn’t see and ounce of guilt in his eyes as he practically burnt Bakugo to a crisp while defending Deku.

It was normal for Bakugo to make fun of the Dekusquad, to their faces. Todorki usually stood and took it, occasionally asking him politely to shut his dirty mouth.

But this time instead of his normal polite suggestion, Todorki decided that the best way to get him to stop was to leave a mark. Something to remind him when he tried.

Y/n was disappointed, they thought Todoroki could hold his cool like normal. They didn’t want to yell. Or scream. Or tell him that he should regret it. Of course not. But… it just came out. Sometimes, you just need to scream.

“You can’t just burn someone alive, Todoroki!” Y/n shouted across the empty common room, staring down Todorki like he was a completely different person. And like the rest of the night, he stared right back, in complete silence. No emotion, expression, nothing.

Y/n bite their bottom lip. “I’m so mad at you right now!” They pulled themselves in, slouching into themselves. “I know he sorta deserves it but still! You didn’t even feel bad!”

Todoroki looked emotionless. Uncaring, zoning out from the quiet mutters of hurt y/n so didn’t want him to hears. But he wasn’t. He wanted so hard to say sorry, yell it from the roof tops that he regrets it and he knows he lost himself.

He knew that the image of flames circling around the two, burning the parts of Bakugo that weren’t used to such heat, must be repeating in y/n’s head. If it weren’t for his quirk Bakugo would have been even more hurt.

Y/n stood, silent. No more words could possibly explain how they felt in the moment. They wanted to run and hide from the shame they felt from Todoroki’s calm face. Yet at the same time they wanted to jump into his arms and tell him that they didn’t want to hurt him, that he was trying his best to do good and they know it.

So they ran, and ran, and ran to their dorm room. The grey walls seemed to close in on them, shoving them into a little box of angst and worry.

Todorki, right after processing what happened, went straight to Deku. He, being the one other person in the class with a girlfriend or lover, was someone who had to know what to do when their upset.

“Hm. Well, last time Ochako got mad at me I let her have a little while to herself to think everything through, and then we talked and everything was better! I’m sure they can’t be mad at you forever!” His sympathetic smile let out a little bit of warmth in Todokri’s cold thought. They won’t be mad forever, because they just can’t be. Unlike him.

So, he waits. He gives them a day, starts walking to their dorm, thinks “maybe it’s to soon?” Waits. Then, the same thing again. And again. Till it’s been a whole week and the two haven’t talked once.

Y/n swallows hard, not sure if they have the courage to go up to Todoroki.

“To-Todoroki?” They said, hovering over him as he read Sherlock on the common room couch. They had already slyly shooed doors everyone out of the room back to their independent dorms.

“Y/n?” He gently said, glancing over his book. They were glad he still held onto the small warmth in his voice when he said their name.

They sighed. “I’m so sorry. Are we okay? I know I should have yelled at you but it just came out, and we should’ve just talked it out like normal, and I-“ They said, running their hand through their hair. Till Todoroki gently cupped their face with both his cold yet warm hands.

“Thank you for apologizing. I realize now that I should have let you think about it for so long, I asked Deku what I should do and he said to give you time to think.” He softly, yet awkwardly, chuckled. “I guess I gave you a little more time then needed.”

Y/n’s eyes glossed and they lowered their head, giving him a small peck on his forehead. Their whole body let go of tense that y/n had no idea they had as soon as they hit contract.

“I love you.” They whispered, lowering to their knees and resting their head on his knees.

“I love you, too. More then you can ever imagine.”

Deku

Deku always hated arguments. (Same)

Similar to Todoroki, Y/n and him agreed a long time ago to just… talk.

So here’s the tea sis……. He may or may not have broken ANOTHER BONE during a villain fight that he didn’t need to get in at the grocery store 👉👈🥲

Arguement in the recovery room

“Izuku, what is wrong with you!? I swear, I was gonna have a heart attack when Bakugo, of all people, told me!” Y/n yelled, talking with their hands. They weren’t even looking at Deku, a small part of them knowing he would either be crying or on his way to be. “I mean, there was a hero across the street in the footage! Across the street! He only didn’t notice cause he was wearing headphones for some dumb reason!”

They let out a loud groan and put their hands into fists, facing the window. “I just hate that you keep hurting yourself.” They looked down, their eyes looking droopy.

“I’m sorry, Y/n. You know I love you.” He stuttered, not knowing what else he could say. They glance back at him, their eyes glossy. They stayed silent for a few moments.

“This is not about wether or not you love me. I know that you do, and I love you too. But you know… it hurts me when you get hurt.”

His eyes widened. “How would me getting hurt hurt you? You look just fine-“ Deku started, quickly interrupted.

“Not physically!” You faceplamed. “It hurts me so much when you carelessly break a bone, sometimes several! You always talk about how your doing everything to live up to how people have helped you, yet your hurting them so much from hurting yourself!”

If he could have he would have taken a few steps back from surprise. He hasn’t ever seen you angry. Of course he was used to people being mad at him, heck, he was friends with Bakugo for years.

But seeing the love of his life, hurting, angry, bought to tears because of how much they saddened from him getting in danger.

He had long realized that break bone after bone wasn’t good for him. But this moment, seeing boiling hot tears stream down your cheeks, staring right in his eyes, wanting so much to say something that would possibly explain what your thinking… it hit.

“I- love- I- I’m sorry, I-I- I never realized I was h-hurting you, a-all of you-“ He hiccuped, unable to keep his tears down when staring right back at you.

You wiped your forearm across your face not wanting to cry right now. You were meant to be angry, be boiling, be furious. You were, only seconds ago. But right now what you needed was for him to hold you, and to tell you that both of you are going to be okay.

“I’m sorry, Izuku.” You bite your lip, hard. “I’m so sorry. I’m so stupid, how can I expect you, brave, fearless you, not to try to save someone! Even when someone’s around you have to be so overwhelmingly selfless!” You cried.

“Love.” His exhaled, unable to feel anything different for you. “Please. Just… just come here, I- I need you right now.”

You slowly sta on the chair next to his bed, moving it as close to the bed as possible. You laid your head on his stomach, arms crossed on him. You had your eyes just above your arms, looking right on him and his freckly features.

He set his hand on your head, gently playing with your hair. “I’m sorry. I’ll make sure not to hurt myself. I don’t wanna hurt you, or anyone.”

heartbeat concerto

[ ffxivwrite2021 ] ★ [ masterlist ] ★ [ prompt #03 - scale ]

[ alphinaud/wol ] ★ [ 2,605 words ] ★ [ nodame cantabile au ]

scale: an arrangement of the notes in any system of music in ascending or descending order of pitch

Illya prays to the heavens that the man beside her does not hear the fortissimo that was her pounding heart.

“Rachmaninoff?” Her voice was equal parts confused as it was alarmed, hiking in pitch that sounded like an ear piercing squeak, almost grimace worthy. Trepidation rings loud in her chest, like shrieking white noise that deafens her. “I’ve never played a concerto in front of somebody before.”

She had hoped that admittance would allow him to grant her some fraction of mercy. After all... for as gracious and supportive a tutor as he was a diligently observant audience for her playing, he surely wouldn’t throw her into the deep end after she’d just barely able to make some progress, right?

The boy merely smiles, navy blue eyes softening in its gaze as he waves the music sheets in his hands before placing them delicately upon the piano stand. He exudes an aura of gentle reassurance, but knows that his resolve to push her past her comfortable limits is implacable.

“Now would be a good time for a first then, wouldn’t you agree?”

Illya heart sinks, lips pressed into a thin, paling line as she glances at the score that awaited her - notes upon lines that were rapidly blurring into nothing but squiggles and incomprehensible doodles in her vision... as if taunting her, daring her to butcher one of the most iconic piano concertos to have ever been composed - by one of the greatest virtuoso pianists to have ever lived no less?

Sonatas were one thing - it took Illya a good amount of time to be able to even bring herself to play the first movement of Sonata Facile to completion in front of him without breaking down into a mess of cold sweat and trembling fingers.

But concertos... by the twelve, even saying the word brings her chills down her spine.

She was nowhere near good enough for pieces that demanded such high amounts of skill, precision and talent... nowhere even close to being able to perform alone on stage for a crowd to behold... let alone in front of an entire orchestra.

When she had met the violin prodigy that had been her new neighbor and he’d offered to help her overcome the performance anxiety that had crippled her ability to play the piano in front of others for years, she hadn’t expected for him to have such sky high expectations for her - expectations that she was certain she’d never in a million years be able to meet.

Alphinaud is a confident, assured young man. Performing was only natural to him, came as naturally as music does flow through his very veins - he had even stated so on the very day that they’d met. Music is for ears to hear, for the world to enjoy. What point was there to keeping music hidden behind four walls? To hide away the sound of their instruments is an affront to the very reason those instruments were made in the first place.

He moved into this apartment complex for a very different reason than she did - and she understood that he too, in his own ways that she could not yet fully understand, had his own troubles which kept him from reaching the heights in which he, and his family had aspired him to be.

But the notoriety behind the difficulty of the pieces he plays has never once made his bow once falter, nor has it ever put him off the idea of even trying. Certainly, there were aspects of his playing to critique... but his determination and confidence alone makes him more of a capable musician than she is - something she both deeply envied and admired.

Would that she could even possess half the amount of talent as he- she’d constantly tell herself, and it was a thought that possessed her even as she hung her head in defeat, trudging to the piano that sat in the middle of the living room before sitting herself down on the cushioned bench, the dent in the corner of the wood still visible from their first meeting when she’d knocked it over onto its side from panic.

Violet eyes glance down at the black and white keys with a gulp - her greatest friend in her darkest times of sorrow... yet also the cause of many of her biggest regrets and worries in life.

She stalls for a moment to pick her train of hair up from the floor and let it unravel gently behind her on the bench, her cotton slippers kicked aside to place her feet upon the pedals that were propped up by a well used extender - a necessity due to her short stature.

With stiff, slightly shaky fingers that now laid delicately upon the surface of the piano keys, Illya sharply inhales, and forces herself to quiet the raging thoughts of potential failure and humiliation as she presses down to play the first notes.

Alphinaud stands behind her by the window, quiet so as to not disturb the girl... but even with his considerate silence, Illya could not help but be acutely aware of his eyes staring holes into the back of her head. She could only begin to imagine what he was thinking - and while she’s befriended him long enough to know he was a man who was above ridicule, she still hated to disappoint - especially the first person who has heard her play the piano for the first time in years.

A symphony fills the apartment, bright as the rays of sunlight that shone through the window, making Illya’s starspun hair appear to glow like a halo. Like little bells, the piano sings out a melody that is as light as the air. It sounds easy on the ears, gentle and kind as the timid pianist who was weaving this piece into being with her fingers.

And that was the problem.

Rachmaninoff composed Piano Concerto No 2 during some of the darkest moments of his life - the piece that would go on to save his career as a floundering, helpless musician had been written from the very pits of his own despair - a song of tragedy and sorrow that tells of a struggling pianist and composer who feared to lose the very thing that gave his life meaning; something many other aspiring musicians would surely understand... something Illya herself knew all too well.

And yet when Alphinaud listened to the piece being played, it conveyed none of that sadness, none of the essence of what made Concerto No 2 become such an iconic classical piece in history.

Illya played without fault - that much he is certain. She’s taking great care to play the right notes, attentive to her own pace that would be fitting were a choir of violins and cellos playing after her tune. But he can tell, even without looking upon the tense, rigid scowl upon her face that she was focusing too much on the technicalities that she’s lost all of what made him so captivated with her playing before - a mistake that he himself has been criticized for countless times.

Father has chided him for that before - praised him for being a genius and young violin paragon both while at the same time admonishing his lack of improvement even after three years of performing professionally - three years of the same critique that would come back to haunt him over and over again.

Music was more than playing perfectly - it was about the inflections, the subtleties in the way one moves their finger across the piano keys, or the way one draws a violin bow... The emotions that would stir one’s heart in a way only music would be able to convey and can never be properly emulated with computerized digital sound.

When Alphinaud closed his eyes, he did not hear the disquiet of a child’s heart as he heard the echoes of church bells ringing on a Sunday morning... but, just as it is - a nervous pianist who was pressing keys because she was told to, because she is doubting herself.

“Illya.” he calls her name, softly so as to not startle... but more importantly, to convey that he wasn’t mad, disappointed or upset with her - as she is wont to often assume.

The piano stops abruptly, and the girl turns to look at him, her piercing stardust hued eyes shimmering with a glossy layer of worry - it suits her less than the rare blossoms of joy that sprouted in her eyes whenever she seemed to genuinely be enjoying his company.

“Y-Yes?”

The young man pauses for a moment to casually stroll up beside her, before gesturing for the lady to move. Though confused, she scoots over to her right to allow him space on the bench, questioning expression apparent on her face about his intent.

When he sits, the close proximity between them brings him warmth, and he feels the corners of his lips instinctively pull into a gentle smile.

“I’m sorry, you must have been caught off guard with such an unreasonable request from me.” He apologizes before quickly holding up his hand when he sees the young lady’s lips part in an impulsive need to protest.. but it is quickly lowered when she draws back into herself and swallows her retort. “Maybe... a little warm up would be better before we move on to such a challenging piece.”

His slender fingers stretch, the pad of his index finger resting gently upon a D key, but not pressing down.

Alphinaud has only the basic understanding of how a piano is played... and he has in the past tried to expand his musical repertoire to cover the undisputedly most popular classical instrument of all time, but he regrettably never quite got the time or chance to. But he is aware of a routine piano players would use to practice, not too dissimilar to the way violinists would warm up as well.

“May we perhaps practice scales? Just for a little while?”

The humility in his tone with his request compared to before doesn’t escape Illya’s notice, but she refrains from commenting on it as her eyes widen up at him.

“Um... s-sure.”

The hesitation in her response is only natural - after all he’d just challenged her to play a difficult piece of piano concerto only to reduce their practice down to repetitive scales - something even the most amateur of players could easily do.

Perhaps he’d felt a tad sorry for his earlier forwardness and the not so subtle way he’d intimidated her into playing something she was clearly not completely comfortable performing for him.. and the only way he knew how to make amends was to correct the damage of his own transgression’s doing.

Getting Illya to relax was important - not just for her music but for the sake of herself as well. If her Rapunzel length hair, lack of fresh foods in her pantry and well worn and weathered pink camise was any indication, the girl wasn’t the best at taking care of her own wellbeing in her pursuit for musical perfection.

Illya’s shoulder is still relatively stiff as she begins to play, though not nearly as much as they were before while she was playing the concerto. Her fingers effortlessly glide across the keyboard to play an ascension of notes before moving back down.

By the third repeat, she’s begun relaxing considerably and picking up speed, and her hands were moving with a practiced, ethereal fluidity that was akin to waves of the ocean... as were the sound of the notes being played - reminding Alphinaud of the push and pull of the tides upon a sandy shoreline.

She transitions from C major to C minor, weaving in the scales of D-flat major and minor before the scales moves further and further up in pitch, so seamlessly that anyone who isn’t familiar with notes in the slightest would have trouble even realizing the switch in scales until she’s reached F major.

In the face of something that comes naturally to Illya, she is at ease... and the piano is once more harmonizing in tune with her love for the instrument.

It’s a not so subtle way of giving her a confidence boost, but Alphinaud claps as she finishes the B minor scale with a flick of her arms - and though her confusion is still apparent, he can tell just from the adorable tilt of her head that she’s relaxed now.

“Wonderful, Illya... It’s clear as crystal with the way you played how seasoned you are. I’d dare say you’re quite a prodigy yourself.”

Having a lofty title thrust onto her so suddenly without warning burns her cheeks a bright shade of red, and the girl is quick to shake her head.

“I-I... I appreciate it, Alphinaud... But I know you’re just saying that to make me feel better.”

“Be that as it may...” He retorts before leaning forward to close the distance between them, his blue eyes swirling with a sincerity that begins to mirror in Illya’s bejeweled ones. “My praises are always truthful and well deserved. You’re a wonderful pianist, Illya.”

Something compels Alphinaud to continue speaking. Perhaps it was the twinkling of Illya’s eyes that held the radiantly clear reflection of himself within... or the dust of pink speckled upon her cheeks and across the width of her little button nose and pointed ears... or maybe it was the soft sound of air being inhaled through her barely parted lips - glossy, pink and befittingly cute for a woman of such beauty. But he deigns to open up his heart and speak his mind freely- he finds himself being able to do so more easily towards her than any other person for some reason.

“Besides... It was because of my own selfish desire to be able to hear you play that I offered to be your tutor. Being able to be by your side here like this and watch you play alone is an honor I would always treasure. So you needn’t be so afraid of playing how you wish to with me.”

When Alphinaud leans back, he finds the delightful cherry pink shade upon Illya’s face to have darkened, and her flustered quivering of her lips as him self-reflecting upon his own statement which causes him to dart his head to the side in an attempt to hide his own blooming blush.

Not that it’d be noticed by Illya in the first place, as she tilts her head down to hide her thoroughly embarrassed expression beneath the shadows of her white bangs.

“I-I’m sorry. Maybe I said too much.”

Illya doesn’t respond, and the young man is almost thankful she doesn’t... because he’s determined to force himself to recover and continue on with their practice.

Clearing his throat unabashedly, his head turns slowly back to look at the girl beside him.

“Well. Shall we continue? I could pick out an easier piece for you to try, this time.”

She nods, as halfheartedly as she did earlier when he’d asked her to perform Rachmaninoff’s piece for him. And though her playing of Mozart was even more shaky, off-pace and lacking in original intent as it did with Piano Concerto No 2 before... Alphinaud could only acknowledge her efforts with an apologetic and bashful smile on his part... for the deep red flush upon Illya’s face never once dissipates during her performance.

Nor does the trembling of her fingers - which, if nothing else, conveys the pounding of her racing heart more than clearly and loudly for him to hear.
