5 and 24 with nanami 🤓
(nanami as a grumpy dom bodyguard.. PLEASE SEE MY VISION Y'ALL)
𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅!𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊
plus “you’re doing great” ⊱ brat taming, fingering, a bit of car sex, oral (f -> m); the Clichés ™
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who was hired by your father to keep you safe and away from trouble, though he was warned you could be a bit of handful sometimes.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who can’t stand brats, every time you attempt to escape without him noticing he feels like tying you up and fuck your face until you’re crying begging for his forgiveness and promising to be good.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who’s super professional, wearing a full suit and tie everyday, keeping the mysterious look by wearing sunglasses even inside the house. You of course can’t get a hold of yourself and invade his personal space poking his cheek and teasing him for looking so grumpy.
“Aren’t I behaving well today? You know why? Cause I got a date” you whisper the last part as a secret, asking him to not tell your father.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who knows he would just cause more trouble to himself if he tells on you, so with a tired sigh he takes the keys and drives you to the restaurant, not failing to notice the way you pushed your breasts and wore a sweet perfume for the date. He waits patiently by the bar keeping an eye on your table, especially on your date that he can tell almost immediately it’s not worth a damn penny. The way he can’t keep his eyes on your face for more than 3 seconds without dropping to your cleavage and always bringing the topic back to himself makes Nanami wants to break his nose.
“Did you listen to our conversation?” you ask your bodyguard discretely after telling your date you were going to get a drink at the bar.
“A little bit, yes” he lies, of course he heard the whole thing.
“What do you think of him?” Nanami studies you, your fingers are nervously kneading a clean napkin, your eyes are shiny and wide expecting an answer from him, the blond side looks your date who was smiling down at his phone.
“Are you seriously asking me this?” his answer is harsh, you should’ve seen this coming.
“Sorry, it’s just that I haven’t had much luck with men lately” you confess in a moment of vulnerability, “Do you think we can sneak out without him noticing?” Nanami empties his glass of whiskey in one go before placing his hand on your lower back and leading you to the exit.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who keeps wearing sunglasses inside, but he uses it as an excuse to shamelessly stare at your body. You’ve grown too comfortable around him, barely using a bra anymore, bending way too low in that little shorts and showering with your bathroom door open where, even though he can’t see you, the smell coming out of the bathroom and your humming is enough to tempt him into joining you.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who thinks you have been quite good lately, it’s even a little concerning, but peace doesn’t reign for too long and as soon as his guard is down you leave the house on a little party dress and go club.
You manage to get yourself almost two hours drinking and dancing with strangers before your partner has his hands abruptly taken away from your hips as Nanami twists his arm, you look over your shoulder to see your bodyguard murmuring a threat the man you now see it was not nearly as handsome as the one holding his arm to an almost breaking point. You attempt to tiptoe your way out of his sight but he’s quick to catch your wrist, you gasp when meeting his angered features.
“Don’t make this harder than it needs to be” he threats tightening his grip on you.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who fingers you in the passenger seat of the car, wanting nothing more than to rip that ridiculously short dress into pieces.
“You’re so difficult and for what? Is this what you wanted all this time?” he groans working his fingers firmly while still trying to drive without crashing.
"What you gonna do to me?" you ask biting your nails in antecipation but don't have to wait longer before your bodyguard is roughly throwing you onto the same bed he sees you go to every night with a different nightgown and has to restrain himself from joining you.
Not tonight though, tonight Nanami is getting what he wanted this whole time.
"That's the only way to shut that bratty little mouth of yours, huh" he mutters with your hair around his hand guiding your head between his legs. You ran your hands from the firm muscles of his thigh to the abs under his white shirt feeling it twich on your palm, tugging the material with your other hand as plead through gags for him to take it off.
"Alright, just because you're doing so great" he opens his buttons one by one and gets rid of all the clothes covering his torso, "C'mere" he pulls your hair until his cock slides off with a string of saliva and precum connecting him to your mouth.
🝮 Bodyguard!Nanami who helps you straddle him smiling widely as he sees you pout, "Don't make this face" he runs his thumb on your lower lip, "I'll make it good for us, but before you have to work for it, it's only fair after what you put me through" Nanami slaps your ass, you understand how stressful it must have been for him so you comply, not before picking his tie from the mattress and putting it around your own neck, your bodyguard smiles giving it a hard tug until your lips are on his.

… I hear you.. AND BOY DOES THAT GIVE ME IDEAS!! 🤩
An image of how Reader heals the Pilgrim gang~
✨Wukong✨
Gentle as can be~ takes her time to slowly heal every possible (or imagined) scratch and bruise, all with a loving hand~ …. And while teasing the absolute shit outa him… 😜
🤝🏻 Sandy 🤝🏻
Her bestie? Her BFF?? The go to method for healing the big blue good-boy™️ is of course their secret best-friends handshake~ 😎
😐 Pigsy 😐
Every time this guy tries to go in for a hug.. and every time he gets slapped in the face.. healing through violence… somewhat contradictory? Perhaps, but it works~
🙏🏻 Tang 🙏🏻
… She pinches his nose in a firm grip, and start lecturing him.. “repeat after me, I will NOT listen to Pigsy and go near the obviously suspicious Bogota in the distance, especially when everyone else tells me not to!” basically a Mom moment~
🐴 Ao Lie 🐴
Gentle head pats.. after his own Father sentenced him to death, the poor kid deserves some form of genuine affection.. another Mom moment~
YOU. You get it.
And if you don’t mind me adding on to this~ because this in turn gave me more ideas lmao
Honestly Wukong doesn’t even go to you for healing to begin with. He’s the Monkey King??? Immortalx6???? He doesn’t need your healing he can just heal himself 🤨. Yes it does hurt him to have to regrow or repair himself, I imagine it’s less that he heals himself and more just…speeds up the process of the injuries healing themselves meaning he gets a fuckton of pain all at once, but given he is both immortal and impatient, he doesn’t really think much of the pain…or he tries to tell himself that anyway.
But after one of the battles where he’s forced to go to Guanyin for help he finds himself angrily sulking because he doesn’t like having to ask for help. But then you come over and just…place a friendly hand on his shoulder and heal him. He is prepared for it to hurt like how he heals himself but it doesn’t?? In fact it feels nice??? What the Fuck™. He could have been getting THIS the whole time??
Every battle after that he is first in line to get healed (listen it’s just quicker if you heal him ok don’t look too deep into it-) even going so far as to push Pigsy out of the way at points. Don’t come between the monkey and his (excuse to get your hands on him) heals. See he thought he knew what he was getting into. A quick heal and (your touch…) he’s back to full health. He was wrong because reader is wise to his schemes and makes it their personal mission to fluster the shit out of him.
“Why is this taking so long??”
“Because you keep fidgeting”
“Well you need to hurry up!!”
“I’m adding on a minute of heal time for every time you rush me.”
“What?? No just finish up already!”
“Three minutes.”
“Stop going so slow!!”
“Four! Do I hear five?? Goodness your gonna give me the wrong idea if you keep this up. It’s like you want my hands on you~”
All the while you’re slooowly dragging your hands across him and he’s doing everything in his power to not think about how good it feels, how nice it feels to have your gentle and delicate touches on him and looking anywhere other than at you. Jokes on him though he may not blush super easily but his ears are always the first to show it.
Sun Wukong was NOT prepared for this. He’s used to admiration from his subjects, fear from his enemies, respect from those he’s fought. But this??? This is new. He’s not used to this. Even back on flower fruit mountain he was never subjected to this kind of attention. He doesn’t…hate it per-say, but he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He might try to cross his arms, make himself look intimidating he doesn’t know-
“Nah-ah, uncross those arms mister I need access to your chest.”
He is suffering. Your going to kill him he’s sure of it. This is how he dies. Just by being subjected to your ministrations. Yes he knows he could leave at anytime but he’s not going to.
It doesn’t really occur to him that you’re taking your time on purpose at first because it’s not exactly like he was paying attention the first time you healed him and he accepts your explanation of it being more precise when you touch him like that readily enough. To his credit he does eventually catch on to what your doing by being purposefully slow and handsy. But like by that point he’s down bad and doubles down.
He flips the script BIIIG time when he goes from “feelings are dumb” to courting/relationship status though. If he was a menace before now he is INSUFFERABLE.
“You missed a spot”
“Oh? Where?”
“Move your hands lower”
“WUKONG.”
“I am injured! Don’t you want to see me get better? 🥺”
Or otherwise now he is intentionally doing whatever he can to increase how long it takes
“Hey you still intend to go slower if I rush you right?”
“Probably? Why do you ask-“
“WOW you are going so slow you need to hurry up and finish already because this is taking forever, we’ve been here like all day seriously how much longer is this going to take??”
“…”
“How long does that buy me?”
“…”
*Insta-Heals him*
D:<
As for the others,
Sandy/Sha Wujing is an absolute sweetheart, always patiently waiting for his turn to be healed or for you to finish. Always asks for heals with a please and thanks you every time. Secret handshake is absolutely how he gets healed. 10/10 would heal again. Best patient ever.
Tang is….fine most times. He’s real sorry for making you go through the trouble though. Really sorry. Has he told you how sorry he is? Because he is. He’s really really sorry. Swears he won’t do it again. A simple shoulder pat is all he really needs as he feels reaaaaally sorry and just feels the worst about this. No but fr he feels SO GUILTY. Healing him is part actually healing him and part feelings jam because he probs needs to be reassured that what happened wasn’t his fault.
Oof but when it’s because of Pigsy starting shit again and pulls him into danger? That’s when the pinching starts. How many times have you and Wukong told him not to listen to Pigsy?? So many times?? AND YET??? …he’s still really sorry tho
Ao Lie doesn’t really need healing all that often due to being a horse most of the time but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t occasionally sidle up to you and push his head under your hand to ask for it. Carrying the monk all that time has gotta be tiring, even if he is a dragon. Especially since he isn’t even doing it in his natural form! So that little boost of energy you give him really helps him out. Also a sweetheart 10/10 (why can’t Pigsy be like you and Sandy FR)
Pigsy tho…bless Reader’s heart you TRIED to actually properly heal him once. But unfortunately with Pigsy being Pigsy that went about as well as expected. As soon as he found out you heal through touch it was all over. “Oh my fair friend I am dying!! Only your sweet kiss can heal me. 😚” which did result in the slap heal. To his…tiny tiny bit of credit he does stop the antics after the first few times. Not because he realized that it won’t happen, but because Wukong won’t let him. Literally, he tries to be his fail-suave self during a time when Wukong is standing right behind you and one very intense glare coupled with a hand going to his ear to pull out his cudgel is all it takes to get him to stop….mostly. Still tries it when Wukong isn’t around though. Always results in a slap.

You had finally calmed down from your anxiety attack, the tears long gone but the gentle hiccups that resulted from a hard cry were still jolting your body as you tried to take in steadier breaths. Bakugo was sitting with his eyes closed, breaths coming in a steady rhythm but his hand against your back, fingers rubbing small, gentle circles let you know he was still awake. You couldn’t quantify how much time had passed since the whole incident started, the ache from the release of the rubber bands where burning rings of skin was left told you it’d been long enough for your body to catch up with itself.
You were exhausted.  
You huffed out a quick breath of air, and fell forward on Bakugo’s chest, resting on your chin to look up at him and nose at his throat again. Bakugo cracked one eye open with a quirk of his brow and looked down at you.  
“What’cha think you’re snoofin’ at, Pup?” Bakugo grumbled with no malice in his tone.
“Ah-!” His sudden awareness of you startled you, a sheepish smile appearing on your face. “Y-you smell good, wanted to smell it again.”
“Mm, still smell Red and TetsuTetsu on me, hm?” Bakugo mused.
“No,” when you shook your head, still resting against him, your cold nose dragged against his skin, and it sent a shudder through his body. “S’different than them, something better.”  
Unnoticed by everyone else, but Bakugo could feel the tips of his ears and the back of his neck heat up at your revelation that it was purely him that you were finding pleasant. Bakugo shifted in the seat, legs and ass sore from sitting for so long in one position, and you bounced up on him as he did so – a tiny yelp-like giggle escaping you which he broke a crooked, fanged grin at you. Your guys’ time together finally being interrupted by someone behind you clearing their throat. You whipped your head back, nearly upside down which caused your newly-floppy ears to stand up straight due to the backward angle of your head – this caused everyone to smile at the silly display.  
“Puppy,” the Director had come forward, just shy of a foot away from the pair as she smiled fondly down at you, letting your head rest in her hands as she raised them to cradle your head, her eyes darting up to meet Bakugo’s quickly as he simply nodded. “I think it's time for us to let Mr. Bakugo go home for today, and we need to get you to the facility Doctor to check on your ears – they have to be hurting you, yes?”  
“Mmm... yes, but-” you shifted your eyes, looking back at Bakugo with a conflicted expression. “You don’t want to stay longer?”
“’Course I do, Pup,” Bakugo said, reaching up to gently pat your cheek. “But it’s been a long day for everyone, and I think getting some rest would be good for us, too, don’t you think?” You just nodded with a sigh, and let Bakugo lift you up in his arms, carrying you like a toddler with your arms around his neck as he followed the Director into a different building in the facility where one of the many highly trained hybrid doctors would be able to check you over. Bakugo noted the way your ears seemed to flatten a little further against your head as he said a quick goodbye, telling you he’d see you again soon and left the room. Hana had excused herself to walk Bakugo out, the Director giving her a nod as she followed the blonde Pro. The Director finally turned to you, sitting with legs swinging atop an exam bed awaiting a doctor to come and see you.
“Puppy?” The Director asked, and your response was a small hum as you glanced up at her, shoulders drooped and demeanor a bit more down. “You like Mr. Bakugo, don’t you?” The Director had her answer in the way your cheeks tinged pink and your ears and whole body seemed to perk up at the idea, fluffy tail swishing behind you as it lazily thumped in time with your thoughts.  
“I do,” you finally said out loud, not looking up to meet her gaze.  
“Would you ever want to be adopted out again?” She pressed further and you drooped again, clearly thinking hard about the implication of what that meant for you. “Would you want Mr. Bakugo to adopt you?” Your eyes widened but you didn’t say anything, didn’t move but you were soon betrayed again by your fluffy cloud of a tail, thumping wildly behind you at the idea.  
“H-he wouldn’t want to adopt me,” you finally sighed, tail still technically wagging but clearly dejected. “I caused so much trouble, and I bit him-” you were startled as the Director cut you off.
“Puppy, what if I told you he had already put in an application for you?” You froze.
“For me?” You whispered, more to yourself. “He did?” Your mind began running through so many different scenarios – the most prevalent thought being why Bakugo would ever want a hybrid like you. You didn’t feel like you could offer him anything, felt like trouble only followed you wherever you went, and bringing it to Bakugo’s doorstep wasn’t something you wanted to do.  
“What’s holding you back, Puppy?” The Director’s calm voice brought you out of the string of incessant, negative thoughts and you glanced up at her while nibbling down on your bottom lip.
“What if he decides I’m not good enough and sends me back?” Your voice was so tiny it was almost imperceptible.
“Puppy,” the Director had kneeled in front of you, meeting your pouty expression with a kind smile as she took your hands in her own. “Mr. Bakugo has been taking all the classes, and learning about you, and has come to the same decision over and over again – that he still wants to adopt you. I think he’s really hoping you’d consider it, too... there’s also a good support system in place with him, too, since you’d be able to see Mr. Kirishima and TetsuTetsu as well,” she finished, watching as your tail picked up at the mention of your silver-haired friend.  
“Who’s Mr. Kirishima?” You finally asked, and the Director simply chuckled.
“Tall, red hair, he brought TetsuTetsu to visit a while back – do you remember?” Your eyes lit up as you nodded vigorously.
“Red! M’sorry I didn’t know the other name,” your sheepish grin was a welcome sight as the Director patted your shoulder. It wasn’t much of a wait after you finished speaking with the Director that one of the hybrid doctors – Dr. Sato – entered the room and began to examine your ears. He was careful with his handling of the newly exposed areas, dictating his findings to the Director as she sat in the far corner of the exam room. Dr. Sato took his time cleaning the area, stating that he wasn’t certain your fur would grow back, but the area that was nearly necrotic, and was caught just in time to be treated and you wouldn’t have to have any surgery to your ears which you were grateful for – slumping a little at the realization of what could’ve happened in you continuing to avoid your real ears. Dr. Sato prescribed some antibiotics to help with the minimal infection around the area and gave you a cream to spread on the hairless ring at the base of your ears to help with accelerating the healing of the area. You nodded along, promising to follow the treatment plan, and the Director chimed in that she would help in reminding you about taking the medication and doing your daily cleanings.  
Dr. Sato and the Director both had continued having a conversation, while you were waiting to be released, your mind swimming with the fantasy of being adopted again.
Being adopted by Him.
Something about Bakugo drew you in, even with his terrifying stature and harsh demeanor; something about the blonde man simply made you feel the safest you had ever felt in your life that you could remember. He was friends with your friend, and his owner. He didn’t hurt you when you bit him, didn’t get angry or yell or throw you off. You caught the tail-end of the conversation between Dr. Sato and the Director, and as she was leaving the room to follow the Doctor with the expectation you would follow as well, you spoke up.
“I do,” the Director stopped at your sudden words. “I want to be adopted,” your body felt electrified with the uncertain future, but you knew at the very least you’d be around people you felt the safest with. “By him,” you clarified, “I’d like to accept his application.”
The Director took in your apprehensive demeanor, noting that it didn’t seem you were truly afraid of being adopted by Bakugo, just appeared to be nervous in general which she didn’t blame you for given your history. The smile spread across her face as she held out a hand for you to take, and you did as you jumped down from the exam table.  
She was excited to make the call – her only dilemma was wondering if she should wait for morning to give the explosive hero the good news.
˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗
Bakugo had finally arrived home, the events of the day and the high emotions left a heavy weight tied to his ankles, dragging him, and to his heart; his body on autopilot as he took off his gear from the day, leaving them scattered across the table and floor of his genkan – he stripped down to his pants and the black tank worn underneath his hero costume as he slipped into his slippers and shuffled to his bathroom. His mind was running a mile a minute, going over the day's events as he tried hard to fight off the exhaustion he was suddenly hit with. While Bakugo was always vigilant and expecting something to happen given his understanding of the world, he truly didn’t anticipate encountering a scumbag extra like the piece of trash who thought he could even come close to touching you today. Bakugo wanted to blast that son of a bitch sky high and then some, but when the officers had come for the man, and he noticed you, he simply couldn’t bring himself to fight when it looked like you needed him more.
Bakugo swallowed hard. His heart thumping wildly in his chest as he remembered how light you felt in his arms, how soft and warm you were against him – how easy it felt holding you and toting you around. His mind then switched to how terrified you looked when that rubber band snapped, how your instincts overrode everything else when you bit down to get out of his arms. Bakugo couldn’t help but wonder just what memory was triggered when that rubber band broke, when he held you tighter and you fought with an admirable strength to escape – wondering what you had to fight to escape in the past. He swallowed the hard lump that formed in his throat and just shook off the heavy feelings. He showered, he drank nighttime tea and quickly downed a spicy instant noodle just to have something in him before he dropped down into bed and closed his eyes. It wasn’t long before Bakugo’s thoughts stilled, and he finally fell asleep.
Bakugo awoke in a place he had never been before, or rather, it felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t place his finger on it. He sat up, propping himself up on his elbows on an uncovered mattress, filthy and creaky, with a spring jutting out into his forearm as he put pressure there. His face contorted in a disgusting scowl as he looked around the vaguely familiar room, the piles of trash and various half-broken boxes revealing equally trashy contents. Bakugo stood up, kicking around the room before settling himself by a dresser near the door, thumbing through the scattered papers with half-written nonsensical sentences in chicken scratch handwriting.
He couldn’t explain how, or why, but he knew he had to be somewhere important. Someone was waiting for him, and his feet took him down a dingy hallway, and out into the dusty expanse of a rundown warehouse yard. He could hear a hushed road of shouting, cheering and curses in the adjacent building and he walked over, treading carefully, not knowing who he would encounter there. When he pushed open the heavy metal door where the sound was coming from he was met with cheers and wide, yellow-toothed smiles and some missing more than half of their teeth before he was patted on the shoulder and led closer to the center of the warehouse where men and women of various scummy degrees were shouting and waving tickets, cursing at each other and drinking as their eyes all stayed toward the center.  
“Thought you wouldn’t make it, man!” The man leading Bakugo shouted over the rest of the noise around them. “Fight’s already been set up, but you haven’t missed much, just the intros, bro, time to take your seat center stage man!” Bakugo just followed along as the grimy extra kept a grip on his bicep, leading him toward the center of the large room. Between the smell of smoke and liquor, body odor and dust Bakugo wanted to puke but he let himself get absorbed into the atmosphere, waiting to see what waited for him as he was led to a bench at the top center above an in-ground pit where Bakugo could see two incredibly large wolf hybrids chained up, just enough slack in the metal to allow the brutes to get attacks in on each other. What froze Bakugo’s blood the second he heard it, and then saw it, was the scared yip! As one of the hybrids decided to take his attention away from the hybrid opposite him and snap hungrily at a tiny hybrid chained to the wall.
It was you – his little Puppy.
Bakugo watched in rapt horror as the wolf hybrid caught your tail and bit down, a fresh, wet matting of blood ruining the soft look of your fur. Floppy little ears were pressed back against your head, nearly flat, as Bakugo took notice of the flood of tears welling up in your eyes and spilling over your cheeks. Bakugo wanted to shoot up, to jump down into the pit and knock out the two hybrids just to get to you – to tell you everything would be okay, that you’re safe with him. Bakugo soon learned, however, that his part in this play was one of control – being in control of this whole situation, being the one who put you in the pit.
The people around him cheered on as the wolf hybrids took turns attacking each other to near-death before turning their aggression on you, only barely being able to reach you just enough to mark you and get a taste of blood.
The fight was called not long after, Bakugo watching at a limp wolf hybrid was pulled away by a downcast man, apparently having lost the fight. The winning hybrid was in no better shape but could be led away by his chain with no additional support. You were shaking on the ground as the man who led Bakugo into this horror show earlier picked you up and threw you out of the pit, walking over to your collapsed form to grab the chain around your neck and drag you behind him with no care if you could keep up or were even capable of walking. Bakugo shot up after him, trying to get him to let you go but he just gave a dry laugh, saying you had to go be seen by the Boss.
The Boss – the mention of the name caused you to shrink further in on yourself, and Bakugo wasn’t sure how that was even possible with how small you already were making yourself. You were led back into the house where Bakugo had come from, being pulled toward a room he didn’t see earlier until you were thrown to the ground in front of a man dressed in all black. Slick black hair and even colder, lifeless black eyes regarded you and tsk’d as he lent down and tugged on one of your floppy little ears until you screamed.
“Didn’t I tell you to get this shit taken care of?” The man scowled, spitting in your face as you flinched away from him. “Floppy fuckin’ mutt ears, what kind of prize are you to offer up if you look like a piece of mixed breed trash, hah?” The man kicked forward, knocking you down onto your face where you stayed, too afraid to get up. Bakugo had been led to a couch just two feet away from this scene, where he watched the man from earlier strip you of the worn little dress you were covered by, hands immediately fighting for the fabric as you clawed at the man trying to take your cover away. You received a swift boot to the back of the head by the man who Bakugo recognized from earlier: the owner of the winning hybrid. Wondering what was going on for only a second longer before it all clicked – what the Boss had said, how he said it, why you were being stripped... Bakugo’s stomach turned as he watched the victor lead his wolf hybrid forward, the large brute leaning forward to sniff and lap at your exposed body before you were mounted. Bakugo found that the only movement he was capable of (that was his own in this dream body) was a tight grip of his hands. He could almost feel his palms heating up to explode as the grotesque scene in front of him unfolded, sparks burning into his fingers as they curled into his palms. Bakugo could nearly force the explosion he so desperately wanted to set off as he heard your crying turn to screams, his eyes deadly at the sight of the knot bullying its way into your body.
Bakugo awoke in a cold sweat to the sound of his phone vibrating on his bedside table. Sitting up as he coughed and choked on nothing, the recollection of his dream burned into his mind's eye as he tried to shake the residual hopelessness he felt at seeing you like that, and not being able to help you. He grabbed at his phone, not even glancing at the Caller ID screen before answering the call with a low growl of a ‘Wha’dya want?’ before the familiar voice instantly set him on high alert.  
“Is everything okay? Did something happen? I can be back down there in an-” Bakugo was cut off by the Director’s quick apology, and explanation.
“No, Mr. Bakugo everything is alright, I’m so sorry to call so late. It sounds like I disturbed your rest,” her tone was truly apologetic, and Bakugo had grown quite fond of the woman over the last few weeks, unable to hold onto his anger. “I wanted to relay some news to you and felt it couldn’t wait until morning.” This had Bakugo sitting straight up in bed, his heart pounding wildly in his chest as the edges of his vision blurred, the panic already taking a hooked hold in his chest.
“I’m listening,” is all he could manage out with his normal tone of voice.  
Did you decide to reject his adoption application?
Did something happen when she took you to see the hybrid doctor? Was everything alright?
“I wanted to extend my sincerest congratulations,” she finally said and Bakugo’s whole body froze. “I had a talk with our little Puppy, and she has accepted your application for her adoption. We can have arrangements made for you to bring her home by tomorrow if that’s suitable for you?”
You said yes.
You said yes?
YOU SAID YES!
Bakugo’s whole body buzzed with relief, excitement and anticipation. He couldn’t hide the stupid grin he felt taking over his face as his right leg jumped anxiously hearing what the Director had to say about the process of scheduling a pickup.
“Yes,” Bakugo finally agreed, “I can be there first thing in the morning.”
˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗
Morning couldn’t come soon enough for Bakugo, rushing through his shower, throwing on an outfit of all-black casual clothes... rushing out the door to meet Kirishima who offered to drive him again instead of letting him take a paid service, or use the agency provided drivers he knew Bakugo disliked.  
“Good morning, Bakugo, ready to go?” Kirishima’s bright voice greeted the rough blonde as all he got in return was a deep grunt... or a growl? but was met with a content sigh as Kirishima held up a coffee he picked up for Bakugo on the way. The exhausted blonde inhaling a deep breath of the coffee steam before tipping the cup for a drink.  
“Thanks,” Bakugo muttered, sipping the hot liquid as he put his seatbelt on and sank back into the seat.  
“Are you excited, bro?” Kirishima asked, peeking at Bakugo from his peripheral, to see Bakugo’s body go rigid as he looked out the window.
“M’nervous,” he finally said after a momentary pause, on bad days I can barely take care of myself... hell there was that month you had to come and stay with me just so I’d eat and shower... what if I fail at taking care of her when she needs me the most? It’s not just my rehabilitation, it’s hers too...”  
“Hey man, don’t worry too much about it,” Kirishima’s voice still held his normal joyful tone, but the underlying was he spoke was deep, and comforting to Bakugo. “I think you’ll be better at taking care of someone else than you are yourself, and she’ll help to remind you of how important it is to take care of yourself - because if you’re not feeling good enough, you can’t do good by her... and you know you always have me to ask for help, too, I’ll always be there for you Kats...” Bakugo just nodded, holding back a strangled sob in his throat as he continued to face out the window, afraid that if he saw the loving, understanding look on Kirishima’s face he’d just burst into tears.
The drive was quiet except for the music Kirishima was playing at a low volume, the sounds of the comfortable silence mixed with the occasional stuttered sip of hot coffee had the moment feeling perfectly... regular. It calmed Bakugo down to have his friend here with him, although the closer they got to the facility, as the large building came into view on the horizon, Bakugo felt a rush of acidic bile rise in his throat with his nerves. This was it. This was really happening!
Kirishima had pulled up and around the circular driveway and parked in front of the building... Bakugo was frozen in his seat as his eyes were glued off in the distance to something other than where he was, his head visibly out of the moment.
“You good, Kats?” Kirishima’s voice was a soft, reassuring tone, gentle but firm as his hand reached over and patted Bakugo’s thigh, before his large hand wrapped around the muscled thigh and squeezed. The action brought Bakugo back and he glanced down at the hand on his thigh and then up Kirishima’s arm to his kind, friendly face.
“Yeah, m’good just...” *Bakugo shuddered a little, this vulnerability making him a little queasy. “Nervous, is all... more than I thought I’d be.” Kirishima couldn’t help the way his toothy grin widened even more at Bakugo’s admission, and gave him a pat on the shoulder.  
“Don’t sweat it, Kats,” Kirishima reassured the blonde. “She chose you, too, and there’s a whole system in place to support you guys... everything will be fine.” Bakugo just nodded, hesitating for a moment more before downing the rest of his coffee and finally steeling his nerves enough to walk in.
˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗
“Mr. Bakugo, welcome in!” A new desk worker greeted Bakugo, one he had met briefly at the recent community day, his smile bright and friendly.
“I’m here to see the Director...” Bakugo’s normally brash and aggressive voice was closer to a meek whisper, though his baritone always carried a strength to it.
The staff member continued to smile kindly, making a quick call as he motioned down the hallway, hanging up. “The Director is expecting you; did you need an escort to her office?” Bakugo just shook his head, already heading the now familiar route to the Director’s office as the pit of anxiety in the bottom of his stomach expanded and threatened to swallow him whole. Once he reached the familiar door, he knocked softly and was greeted with a soft ‘Come in!’ and upon opening was met with the sight of the Director, and you... you who looked so small and happy with your newly floppy ears tilting cutely as you leaned back and looked up at Bakugo.
“Mr. Bakugo, welcome back... we were just going over our little Puppy’s ear care, please, sit,” the Director said with a friendly tone, motioning for him to sit in the chair beside you. You, who despite looking away from Bakugo with a slightly nervous expression now, still wagged the fluffy little cloud of a tail behind you, unable to hide your emotions. “Now, she must apply this antibiotic cream morning and night to the areas affected where the rubber bands were, and she also has a pill she needs to take to ensure no spread of any internal viruses, right, Puppy?”
You only nodded, biting your lower lip as you looked down at your folded hands, fidgeting with them in your lap. “Yes, rub on ears and take the pill...” you said softly, nodding to yourself.
“Good girl,” the Director praised, and then turned to Bakugo, but not before adding. “Puppy why don’t you go and get all your stuff together and make sure you’re not forgetting anything? We’ll come meet you shortly, okay?” You nodded, hopping down from the chair and padding out of the room softly as you closed the door behind you... The Director now turning to Bakugo. “Before we finalize everything, are there any concerns you have at this moment?”
Bakugo thought for a moment, good and hard before shaking his head. “No, I think we’ve covered everything up until this point, and I feel pretty supported by you... and Kirishima has offered to help me adjust as well.” The Director nodded, a genuine smile on her face.  
“I, as well as my staff are here to be a resource for you, Bakugo, and we will keep in touch via email, and I am only a phone call away... I’m happy you have a friend supporting you as well, it will make the transition easy knowing someone who has been through the same thing.”
“I appreciate all of your help, and all of the courses you provided too,” Bakugo admitted with a soft look on his face. “I feel better prepared now, even if I still feel like I’m out of my element here...” The Director gave Bakugo a soft look before standing up and motioning him to follow.
“Let’s go get our little Puppy, shall we?” She said gently, leading Bakugo down a new hallway he hadn’t yet been to, to finally land in front of a white door. The Director knocked and then slowly cracked the door, peeking inside as she smiled, calling your name. “Are you all packed up, Puppy?” She said softly, opening the door and Bakugo’s heart almost melted at the sight of you sitting on your bed with one little bag beside you on the floor, your legs swinging on the overhang of the bed as you glanced up, a small, nervous smile on your face as you nodded. Bakugo watched you jump down, grabbing the bag and walking forward, opting to take his hand as you smiled up at him.
Bakugo almost fainted from the varying emotions in his body: fear, anxiety, happiness, love, a little cuteness aggression.... when you held his hand, looking up at him with a smile when you said... “Ready!”

Could I humbly request a Dreamling 1 or 19 for the Soft™ fic prompt meme 👉👈 
1. slow dancing or 19. ‘it made me think of you.’ 
I somehow managed to fit both prompts in here 👀 👀 
Sorry for being slow about this one friendo, work’s been kicking my butt lately but hopefully this was worth it! <3 
Fic could be considered a companion piece to this fill, since I'm such a sucker for weddings ahaha.
—----------------
“Please welcome the newly wedded Gadlings!”
Hob pulls Dream excitedly through the entrance to the ballroom as soon as they’re introduced. They’re both flushed with excitement (and wine from the Dreaming) as they wave at all of Hob’s friends from his current life.
The crowd for their wedding reception is sizable, not nearly as large in attendance as their wedding in the Dreaming, but still large enough to cost Hob quite a bit of money in food and alcohol. He doesn’t care. The glowing and easy smile on Dream’s face is worth far more than any worldly currency.
“And now,” the DJ announces once they’ve reached the center of the room, “it’s time for the newly wedded couple’s first dance.”
The lights dim everywhere except for where they are standing. Hob pulls his husband (his husband) flush against his own body and wraps one arm around Dream’s waist, the other settling into his open palm. They move easily together once the piano intro begins to play, and Lionel Richie’s voice echoes throughout the room.
My love There's only you in my life
“You’ve always had a strange sense of humor,” Dream says, brow raised in amusement as they sway and step easily around one another. Hob knows Dream’s body like he knows his own breath, and it is little effort for him to step back and easily maneuver Dream into a quick twirl.
“Excuse you,” Hob says with mock offense as he pulls them back together. “Endless Love is a classic wedding song.”
“Is that so?” Dream asks, eyes literally glittering with stars and mouth turned up in a challenge.  
Hob nods assuredly. “It was Diana’s Ross’s best selling single,” he says, diving into his encyclopedic memory for music. Dream’s expression lights up as he continues to talk.
“Couldn’t escape this song on the radio back in the 80’s,” Hob continues. “It was nominated for a lot of awards. too. You could say it’s one of the defining songs of the decade,” he adds, then wrinkles his nose. “Film’s absolute shit though.” 
“You say that about many films,” Dream notes, probably remembering the time Hob had given him a twenty minute mini-rant on the origins of Tears in Heaven. Or maybe it was Can’t Help Falling in Love. Come to think of it, most of Hob’s favorite records were tie-ins to terrible movies. 
“Yes, well,” Hob shrugs before he pulls Dream closer to him. “Sometimes great music is made for shit films.” 
“So I take it ‘Endless Love’ is not on the list of your ‘must see films’, then?” Dream huffs, tilting his head playfully towards Hob.
“Not even close,” Hob grins before he leans and captures Dream’s lips with his own. The crowd around them erupts in applause and cheers.
When they pull away, Hob twirls Dream once before, before he tilts the Endless backwards into a dip. Dream’s back arches beautifully, and it steals Hob’s breath for a moment before he remembers to pull Dream back up. When their bodies are pressed together once more, Hob dips his head and admits a secret against Dream’s ear.
“I also may have picked this song because I’m a sap,” he whispers, grinning as he feels Dream shudder beneath him. “It made me think of you a lot, you know.”
“Did it?” Dream asks, pulling his head back to meet Hob’s gaze. 
Hob nods as he begins to mouth the next verse, his focus solely trained on Dream: 
And love, I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure You know I don't mind 'Cause you, you mean the world to me
“I think I’m beginning to see the appeal,” Dream says before he kisses Hob once more.

Here's a Chase doodle and some headcanons because he is seriously my favorite
He always has a pack of mentos mints on hand. No matter the circumstance, there's always mints in his pocket
I think its because he used to smoke cigarettes
He calls them "cancer sticks" now
Speaks pretty good english, but forgets some words/gets them mixed up and often just opts for replacing it with the French word
This is more common when he's tired or frustrated
Julia often corrects him with the english word he was looking for
"Miss Argent, could you pass me the- uh. The um. What is the word..."
"The white board?"
"Yes that thing. Thank you."
He's a bi disaster and didn't even know it until fairly recently (Ivy told him she was dating Carmen and it made him do some reflecting)
I honestly don't know if I hc him as trans or not, but I really love the concept and all the fanfics that come with it jgdgjhkdsh
Chase probably didn't have the nicest family
He has a sister named Angeline that he hasn't spoken to in like. Seven years or something
He rarely speaks about them to anyone, but when he does, it's either a very brief/vague mention or a whole oh shit that got real moment
Chase is very aware of his arrogant/egotistical tendencies, and he has a lot of guilt about it
("I feel like Im the worst so I always act like I'm the best" - Oh No! By MARINA)
He is very prone to migraines (especially after the truth extractor) but often works through them until someone forces him to stop or he is on the verge of Death Itself™
Same thing with sickness in general, despite taking days off with that excuse, you would never ever catch him taking an actual sick day off
He treats Zack and Ivy like his own kids despite claiming he's terrible with children
They get up to extremely stupid shenanigans and Julia is the mom friend that pinches the bridge of her nose in the background
CHASE DEVINEAUX PLAYS ANIMAL CROSSING AND SPLATOON, DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME
He and Julia both moved from Poitiers to San Diego to be closer to team red and ACME
They live in the same apartment complex, you can pry this one from my cold dead fingers
He's honestly just a silly goofy man with an unknown traumatic background fr

pit babe ep 8 thoughts
Tumblr media
(a peteken obsession was born)
first of all: i cannot believe i have to wait another week for the next episode. how am i meant to focus on anything when The Thing might happen but ALSO the other thing. things are happening. i am stressed and horny.
- i am sooooooo in love with kim. i know i say that every week but holy fuck his strength of character is admirable. i have no idea how the kimkenta thing is going to develop when kenta hasn't even started his redemption arc yet. HOWEVER........ that look™ between them when kim was bloodied, beaten and thrown into the elevator............ yeah.
- ALANJEFF. my angels. so much open communication from them both. i can't believe all it took for jeff to open up was one (1) handsome older guy in a tank top with kind eyes and open ears. that boy needs someone to lean on so badly. he's done so much reflecting. him finding a place of comfort in alan, no expectations or ulterior motives, is so important. (also low key worried alan is gonna turn jeff down at first re: the preview but we move.)
(- unrelated but i'm a nose guy and sailub's nose.......... amazing. can't stop staring at him.)
- GIVE ME MORE OF JUNE. those arm garters. holy fuck. are they a staple in his wardrobe or did they shoot both bar scenes the same day
- way in his villain was to be expected but him straight up implying he's gonna carry out an evil plan to his SPONSOR is insane. like, apparently pete knows way more than he should so he isn't surprised in the slightest but way shouldn't know that 😭 like girl are you so set on your revenge and bitterness that you're willing to throw your team's finances to the wolves as well (the answer is yes) (he's gonna do way worse things) (i'm excited)
- i love jeff and charlie's bond. jeff's doomsday thinking (which.... is warrented, lbr) and charlie's optimism should be clashing but i think they ground each other.
(- Not A Fan of how often charlie expressed that he'd do and risk anything for babe in this episode. yeah it's foreshadowing and He Means It but i love him so much. thinking about what might happen, keeping in mind jeff's visions, makes me so anxious. charlie is my puppy.)
- PETE AND KENTA. listen. he called him ken. those looks. the exasperation from kenta and the calmness from pete. there's history there. FUCK. i wish we didn't already know that pete/way will be a thing because the chemistry in that scene..... holy fuck. idk if they're ever gonna address it but in my mind, they're 100% exes who split due to external circumstances (kenta staying with tony because of his low self-esteem, pete needing to leave because of his conscience and need for independence). there's obviously still lingering feelings. i could eat off that tension for a lifetime.
- also pretty sure that garfield could have chemistry with a tree
- i saw someone wondering why there was so much (undried) blood in kim's hotel room and like. yeah. but, because i like to make excuses for the shows i enjoy, to me it was A Trap. they made it easy for them to figure out where kim had been staying. they left the door unlocked. they staged The Crime Scene to be as dramatic as possible in order for whoever would come to investigate to have Lots To Look At. so they could get them, too, while they were distracted. tony was watching a recording of that hotel footage almost in real time, wasn't he?
- tony seems to be stupid as hell, not gonna lie. are the cogs just now starting to turn?????? girl
- charlie starting to get acquainted with babe's senses is so cool. like, yeah, he can't really utilise them well yet but. baby steps. he is our collective baby after all.
- the amount of charliebabe protecting each other and throwing punches at goons in this episode gave me so much serotonin. dream team with maybe a handful of brain cells between them
- i love jeff but him going back to tony's mansion a) after he just told alan he'd never be dragged back there and b) seemingly without telling anybody about it is sooooo frustrating. babygirl this wouldn't have ended well in any universe
- all i could think when kenta was pressing jeff against that wall and deleting his Exposing Way message was "i wish that was me". the arms 🥴🥴🥴
- i need somebody, ANYBODY, (preferably pete or kim) to give kenta a convincing reason to leave. like, he's obviously conflicted but tony's abuse has its grips on him. tightly. like, i KNOW that man cries himself to sleep every night but maybe the tender touch of another man could heal him
- i had to pause the charliebabe doctor scene sooo many times (and then rewatched it for half an hour). i'm too fucking single for this. their little faces and banter and Visible Love-Eyes. have some mercy on me.
- that being said... we've had public sex. breeding kink. mommy/daddy kink. now medical kink. (scenting is a given.) is anyone doing ao3 tag bingo
- alan noticing that jeff's not there and being worried about him even though it hasn't even been a full day is so 🥺
- i felt so bad for andy like. a fucking GPS bracelet? the guy who's bought him seemed creepy as hell. they named him so i hope we're gonna get to see them free him (and hopefully other kids) too.
- good on way for helping out the boys when they were in a pinch but. i can't help but feel like everything he does has an ulterior motive now, despite (or maybe especially?) because of his talk with babe earlier
- charliebabe looked so fucking good in those maroon shirts 🧍🏼‍♂️
- how i'm tryna be:
Tumblr media
might make this my new header somewhere.
- NORTH AND SONIC. my little gremlins. i still feel so bad about underappreciating them at the start of the show. their romantic tension is so good and silly and they were out there risking their lives with less than zero of a plan 😭 sweet boys
- winner is such a loser. he wins at losing. over and over again. it's so much fun.
- listen........ i get that they had to get away from the goons (thank u alan) but.... could they not have grabbed kim at the last second 😭 there was a truck between winner/the gun and kim and the goon, was there not? it's self-preservation above all else but........ my baby got a kick to the fucking face 🧍🏼‍♂️
- jeff with the sneaky escape plan 👁️👄👁️
[preview talk]
- JEFF WITH THE LIES TO GET AWAY FROM TONY 👁️👄👁️
- way being the one (1) enigma basically confirms what he's there to do and. uhhhhhh. if we're also getting The Incident in next week's episode or episode 10 then...... he might actually try. [throws up in my mouth]
- ALANJEFF? jeff being the one initiating contact for once? "alan's boy"?????????????????????
- charlie talking in that deep voice, the Mirror Scene Preview, him throwing his head back. uhhhhhh. i rewinded that more times than i'd like to admit. make that scene 5 minutes long please 💓
- didn't jeff have a vision of tony killing someone with a katana. why was he pulling that while in his office. (hopefully not) while talking to jeff lol
idk how they do it but i'm even more excited/ scared for next week's episode than i was for this one. it's about to get bonkers

Pokemon x DP
This idea just won't leave me alone for some reason.
So yeah, it's been a millenia and Danny has been the ghost king for a very long time.
Probably longer since time flows inconsistently and in a nonlinear fashion in the infinite realms.
He just finished all of Pariah's Neglected paper works and messed up and he's Stressed and Dead Tired™ that he needs to relax.
He completely skim through every media entertainment he could get his ghostly hands in to, managing to finish One Piece, Detective conan, MCU, DC, Spongebob, the entire pokemon franchise (games, manga, anime, movies included), complete slew of movies of different genres, games and many, many more.
He's still stressed though…
So Vacation it is!
He had a hard time deciding where he would go before someone joked about going to another multiverse just for a vacatiin and you know what? Danny like that.
(Tucker wasn't serious obviously, he was just kidding!
"Danny! Wait—! Aaaaaan he's gone."
Sam entered the office with a bunch of ghost behind her carrying ghostly paper works and request from multiple Gods, Death Gods, and Eldritch entities.
She take one glance to the office and to tuckers sheepish expression and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Okay spill, where's Danny?"
"Funny, you see—"
After the explanation, Sam sighed.
"You do the paperworks then."
"What?!"
"You dig your own grave and your own coffin, you sleep on it."
"Excuse you! I'm not Vlad! And FYI! I sleep on my Sarcophagus!"
"Don't care, what ever.")
Danny then remembered pokedex entries:
[Phantump–the Stump pokemon]
[These Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died in the forest. Their cries sound like eerie screams.]
Just like the kind of universe he belongs to!
Ignoring Tucker's voice, he opened up a portal and immediately dive in.
(He could sense the presence of the dreadfull paperworks getting closer, better skedaddle before he got caught)
He grinned and transform himself into human before shifting his age to that of a teenager, this is gonna be fun.
___
If you tell Paul previously that he would end up travelling sinnoh again with a fresh team and a traveling companion like a certain World Champion from Pallet town does all the time, then he would have scoffed or sneer at you before insulting youe intelligence.
"GET DOWN HERE YOU MENACE!!!"
Paul screamed at the tooof his lungs towardshus travelling comoanion. The said menace just grin before—
"WAIT—STOP!!!"
The menace jumped off the fucking cliff.
Paul almost have an heart attack before his companion harmlessly lands on the ground with both of his feet.
There was a big explosion of dust and dirt that Paul had to cover his eyes. The ground gave in and he could see the dark haired teen standing on the crater unharmed.
He gawked, before sighing in resignation.
Of course, he just have to get a super human, just like a certain boy from Pallet, for a travelling companion.
"Come—on Paul! Live a little would ya? Look at me, I'm half dead yet I'm having more fun than you! Give it a try for a yourself!"
Its official, this is karma for being awful and for all the things he did and said before.

fever
a pediatrician and a bar owner. what could go wrong?
tags/warnings: ABO, no quirks, heat cycles, phone sex, dildos, knots, mutual masturbation, dirty talk, licking
taglist: @pharaohanubis0
Word Count: 9.6K
A/N: back at it again with the tumblr bestie @endeavours-jockstrap
“hey girly pop,” mina, your best friend, grins from the doorway of your office. “ready for a fun night out?”
you look up at her, confused. “i’m sorry?”
“i told you we’re going out tonight, remember? this new alpha i’m seeing—so hot by the way—his friend owns the komori club and he got us in for free.”
“oh yeah, i remember,” you smile and finish arranging the files. “i’m not really feeling so hot. i’ve been working all day and—“
mina puts her finger up. “imma stop you right there. i don’t care. you’re turning thirty tomorrow and tomorrow is the only day you have off all week so we’re going out tonight, end of story.”
you pout, knowing you can’t argue and reluctantly agree. “okay…”
“yay!”
she helps you press your hair and pick out a cute outfit, practically dragging you into the uber. the komori club is the hottest club in town. anybody who is anybody went there.
mina shoves you both through the line to the bouncer at the door.
“i’m with eijirou kirishima,” she says confidently with her hand on her hip.
the bouncer gives her a once over. “i’m sure you are. back of the line.”
“ugh, bitch!? he’s literally my boyfriend!”
“that’s what they all say.”
she angrily takes out her phone and dials a number while you just stand helplessly next to her playing with your scent patch. mina yells into the phone for a full minute before handing it to the alpha bouncer. he listens intently for a moment, then gives it back. “my bad. come on in.”
“yeah, that’s what i thought, bitch,” she scoffs and pulls you inside as you mouth apologies to the bouncer.
it’s loud inside. loud and crowded. your nose is bombarded with a cocktail of scents despite a strict scent patch rule in crowded places like this.
“there he is,” mina squeals and hops the velvet rope of the vip section. she sits on the lap of a stocky redhead, kissing his face over and over again.
“mina,” you whisper-shout. meeting the gaze of the scary bouncer. “hi.”
thankfully he lets you through and you scurry up the short steps into the booth. “oh my god he’s so scary.”
“eiji, this is my bestie y/n,” mina introduces as you take a seat across them and sink into the soft cushions.
“help!” you squeal and flail your legs.
the electric blonde next to you helps you sit, laughing uncontrollably. “are you okay?”
“mhm,” you hum. “thank you.”
“no problem. my name’s denki.”
“y/n.” 
he goes back to talking to his friend, sipping a yummy looking cocktail. you try to get a waitress’ attention to no avail and just end up sitting stiffly on the couch. mina’s occupied with her new man, playing with his dyed red hair while he rubs her thigh.
so you just play the sims™ on your phone and get lost in your own little world.
the plush couch suddenly dips, jerking you sideways into a very solid torso.
“watch it,” a voice growls above you.
“s-sorry,” you squeak and scramble to sit upright, eyes fixed on your phone. the alphas scent fills your nose: something smokey with an undertone of burnt caramel. daring to sneak a peek, you catch a tattooed arm peeking out of a folded silk, black sleeve and more in the open button-up chest.
“katsuki!” denki grins and reaches over to rub the top of katsuki’s shaved head. “what’s up bro?”
katsuki smacks the hand away. “don’t touch my fucking head.”
“my bad. it just feels like a peach.”
katsuki’s red gaze finally settles on you. “who’s this?”
“eep,” you squeal when you’re perceived.
“she’s with mina,” eijirou supplies.
“tch, whatever.”
you’re shoved again by someone sitting between you and katsuki.
“hey babe~” an overly sweet smelling brunette sing-songs and rubs katsuki’s chest. “sorry i’m late, traffic was crazy.”
huffing, you try and get your purse out from under her ass. “umm, excuse me?”
she turns with a bored expression, blue eyes darting from your toes to your head. “what?”
“you’re sitting on my purse.”
“mm.” she ignores you and goes back to talking to katsuki.
unbelievable.
“excuse me…excuse me!” you say a little louder.
the bitch ‘accidentally’ sloshes her drink with an exaggerated laugh and a few drops land in your low neckline.
“ma’am!” you huff.
she finally turns and plasters a condescending smile on her face. “look, you’re kinda harshing my vibe here so can you just…not?”
“you are sitting on my purse!” you finally snap. 
she gets up, sweeps it onto the floor with her hand and sits back down. “there you go.”
“ugh!” you scoff and pick it up. “mina!”
she’s too busy chatting and laughing to pay attention. you abruptly stand up and stomp down the steps up to the bouncer. “where’s the bathroom?!” he raises his brow at your tone. “i’m sorry,” you say a little quieter. “where’s the bathroom, please?”
“right there.” he points towards a graffitied wall.
“thank you.” you make your way through the crowd to the quiet solace of the bathroom hallway. of course there’s a line. you don’t even need to pee, you just need to clean up and take a breather.
a drunk omega bulls into you as she exits the bathroom, apologising through slurred words no matter how many times you say it’s fine. you see her scent patch is peeling and offer one of your own.
“oh my goooshhhh, you’re sooooo nice,” she smiles and tears up when you plaster it on. “you’re like, my new bestieeee.”
the wonders of club bathrooms. “you should totally hang out with me and my friends at our table. this guy i went to highschool with owns the place and he’s my boyfriend's friend’s friend so we’re totally cool.”
wow, this owner has a lot of friends doesn’t he? you ponder the offer. it can’t be any worse than the nonsense you just went through. she touches your hair softly.
“oh my gosh you’re soooo pretty. imma wait for you right—right here.” she leans against the wall.
“umm, let’s just get you back to your friends first,” you chuckle and help her off the wall. “can you show me where they are?”
“ohemgee yassss, i’ll show you.” she takes your hand and leads you to another set of vip booths where a bunch of women are sitting. “girls, i made a friend~! she’s so nice and we’re literally sisters now.”
they all start squealing and fawning over you, complimenting your hair and makeup.
you feel loads better after you finally get your virgin long island iced tea and get roped into pictures with these random girls.
“it’s actually my birthday at midnight,” you tell them and they collectively gasp.
“how old are you?”
“i’ll be thirty.”
“oh my god you look soooo freakin’ good for thirty,” the omega from earlier, who’s name you learn is camie, slurs. “what’s your secret?”
“camie you’re thirty two and look twenty,” a red haired alpha woman giggles.
“yeah but that’s cause of surgery. did you get surgery?”
“um, no, i didn’t,” you laugh. “thank you though.”
she convinces you to stand and dance with her, pulling you to the dance floor. you shyly try to follow her steps, giggling when she bumps you with her hip.
a wrong move makes you trip and nearly tumble into someone.
“oops, my bad,” you apologise and look up to see it’s the alpha from earlier.
“you again?” he says.
“oh…hello.”
camie appears and squeals, hanging onto katsuki. “suki baby! where have you been?! this is my new best friend in the entire world w/n.”
“y/n,” you correct.
“that’s literally what i said,” she pouts. “this is katsuki, my boyfriend’s friend's friend.”
wait but that would mean, “you own the club?”
“yeah,” he replies curtly.
you blank, not sure what to say to that. “okay.”
he holds up something pink and glittery. “this fell out of your bag back there.”
you gasp. “my phone. thank you so much!”
camie groans. “this is boring and my feet hurt, let’s sit down.”
katsuki surprisingly follows you back to the booth, sitting next to you. camie squeezes next to him, sighing dramatically. “suki, rub my feet.”
“i’d rather die.”
“meanie.”
you giggle and sip the rest of your drink as you go through your phone. there’s a dozen texts from mina asking where you were. you respond and tell her you’re okay and just having fun with some other people and she should enjoy her time.
katsuki rubs his chin, peering down at you through the corner of his eye. you’re cute, a little shorter than he’s used to but he likes what he sees.
“what’s your name again?”
you peer up at him with doe eyes. “y/n.”
“mm, okay. can i get you a drink?”
that takes you back. why would the owner of the komori club want to buy you a drink?
“umm, okay.” you smile politely.
both of you sit bide by side in one booth, leaning in close to hear each other over the music.
“so what do you do?”
“i’m a paediatrician.”
“so you deal with bratty kids all day?”
you take another sip of your drink and nod your head. “i do. i love my job.” 
he shrugs and picks a speck off his orange shirt. “i couldn’t do it. think that’s more of an omega thing.”
“we have lots of alphas there too and—“
camie’s squeal right in your ear makes you wince. “ohemgee y/n it’s midnight! happy birthday!”
you smile and let her clumsily hug you. “thank you, camie.”
“s’ your birthday?” katsuki inquires.
you nod and read the messages coming in from friends and family. 
“happy birthday or whatever.”
you grin up at him. “thank you.”
under the colourful lights you don’t see the slight blush on his cheeks.
hours pass and you start getting sleepy.
“think i’m gonna head home,” you murmur and stand up. the girls all whine and protest and it makes you sad but you get their numbers with vague promises to hangout.
katsuki stands too, towering over you. “i’ll walk you out.”
“ooohhhh~,” camie swoons. katsuki flips her off behind your back.
mina meets you outside with eijirou, absolutely plastered and grinding up on her amused boyfriend.
“thank you again,” you thank katsuki shyly. without the loud music and dim lights, you feel a little more nervous talking to such an intimidating alpha.
“whatever,” he says offhandedly. “gimme your number.”
you gasp loudly, and he stifles a laugh behind his hand.
“take the damn number,” mina grits out, not so quietly.
your hands shake on your phone as you exchange information.
“y-you can call me whenever,” you mumble. “not whenever, i mean i’m usually free after six o’clock but i’m free all day tomorrow.”
“mhm.” he looks down at you with heated eyes, making you squirm.
thankfully the uber arrives so you can help mina inside before she can pass out.
“goodbye.” you wave at katsuki and eijirou as you enter.
eijirou waves excitedly while katsuki just watches the car leave.
“your scent is swelling,” eijirou comments. “you got a lil crush, bro?”
katsuki ‘tch’s’. “whatever. i don’t do crushes.”
“mhm. we’ll see.”
*
mina wakes up in your shared apartment, in your bed after she insisted on sleeping there, more hungover than she’s ever been. she groans and rolls over to see you wrapped in a towel, just getting out of the shower. 
“hey birthday bestie,” she smiles before groaning softly. “ugh my head. you’re up early.”
“i left you aspirin on the bedside table.” you pat her thigh and pick out some loungewear. “drink plenty of water and rest.”
“yes nurse.”
“i’m a doctor, not a nurse.”
mina sticks her tongue at you before reaching over for the medicine. “so, what's the plan for today?”
“nothing?”
“you’ve gotta go out, y/n! treat yourself and do something. you’ve only got one life y’know.”
you hum and put on two floral scent patches on your neck. “i like to use my day off to relax, mina. sit down with my computer and watch netflix.”
your phone vibrates, and mina sneaks a peek. “uh who’s this calling you ‘bestie’?”
“hm?” you pick up the phone and read the message from the unknown number. “no idea.”
“want me to tell them off?”
“no. i think i know who it is.” you text back, and sure enough, it’s camie. “it’s this omega i met in the club. i didn’t expect her to text me to be honest.” 
“hmm, is she nice?”
“i think? she was plastered when i met her and after she dragged me to her friends she was teasing that guy who owns the club and was all over him.”
“maybe they’re dating?”
you hum softly and shake your head. “i don’t think they were dating. she said he’s her boyfriend’s friend’s friend or something.”
“boyfriend’s friend's friend? woah. what does she want?”

bar girl
>>a friend or a *friend*??? 😏😏
>>or a fwb  uwu
you look at mina. “you two will get along.”
you and mina get dressed and drive to the address camie sent, meeting her in the parking lot.
“i always pass this place but never go in,” you hum and let her hug you.
“well today’s the day!” she giggles before reaching out to give mina a handshake. “hi, i’m camie.”
“mina. love your dress.”
“thank you! i love your hair. it’s so big and pink. like cotton candy. i love cotton candy, it’s soooo yummy.”
“thank you,” mina snickers.
“let's go in, i got us a table already and there’s bottomless mimosas.”
“oh, i’m driving so i can’t drink,” you tell her.
“boooo,” camie pouts.
“tomato tomato,” mina adds, mimicking throwing tomatoes at you.
you playfully shove her inside and follow camie to the window booth.
you sit down and idly chew one of the bread sticks while camie goes on about how much she travels and where she wants to go for winter. perks of being an influencer you suppose.
“you should totally try it, you’re really pretty,” she grins. “just take some pictures.”
“pfft, her social media is so dry you could use it to light a fire,” mina chides. “she barely posts anything.”
“it’s not that bad,” you mumble and open your instagram. all you have is a few milestone pictures and some of you and your family. the last time you posted was two years ago when you officially became a doctor.
“realising how bad it is?” mina snickers.
“shut up, it's not. i think it’s practical.”
“uh huh.”
camie peeks at your phone. “like…ew.”
“ew?
“it’s so empty. who’s this?” she taps her acrylic on a picture of you and a cousin. 
“my cousin. it was his birthday.”
“he’s cute or whatever, but girllll, what is this dry ass shit?!”
you thank the waiter that puts your pancakes down. they’re cute and heart shaped with ‘happy birthday’ spelled out in chocolate syrup. “yay, pancakes.”
“we’re coming back to this after eating.”
“aw,” you pout and take a bite.
“don’t feel so bad, bestie. everyone gets busy.”
“i don’t feel bad, what’re you talking about?”
“you’re clearly in denial,” mina shakes her head.
“no i’m not.”
“sure. let's finish eating.”
mina listens to camie direct you on how to update your social media while eating her biscuits and gravy.
“but i don’t understand why i have to take a picture of my food.”
“to show what you're eating! also to show how good it is!
your eyes dart from the food to the phone. “okay. i have a follow up question.”
“just take the picture.”
“okay! okay.” you snap a photo of your pancakes and show it to camie. “is this good?”
“no. the angles are weird and the lighting is off.”
you huff, not wanting to make her mad but you put your phone down. “i’m just going to eat my food if you don’t mind.”
“wait! take the photo now! the lighting’s perfect.”
you sigh and take the picture anyway. a message pops up before you can add a caption.
scary alpha from club
>>wyd?
mina waves her hand in front of her face. “whew. why do you smell nervous?”
“really?! is my patch peeling up already?” you touch the scent patches on your neck.
“no, bestie, your scent just bled through it just now. are you okay?”
“yeah, um, that guy from the club last night just texted me…”
“who?”
“katsuki?!” camie gasps loudly. “he never ever ever texts anybody! what did he say?”
“he just asked what i’m doing. should i just tell him?”
“yes!” “no!” camie and mina shout simultaneously.
“huh?”
“don't listen to her. let him know what you're doing. he seems interested in you enough to text you. did he say happy birthday?” camie asks eagerly.
“he did at the club and he bought me two drinks.”
“oooh, that's a good sign.”
inhaling deeply, you text back.
me
&lt;<eating brunch with camie and mina
scary alpha from club 
>>cool
>>you busy after?
you stare at the phone wide eyed. 
“well, what'd he say?” mina asks with a big grin. 
“he asked if i'm busy after this…”
they both squeal, drawing a few stares.
“well, what're you gonna say?!” camie gasps.
“no, i guess?”
“say ‘no, why?’ and add a smiley face!”
“seriously?”
they start talking over each other, overwhelming you. “okay, can we calm down? i’m just going to tell him i’m not busy and see what happens after that.”
“my bestie's going on a date!” camie squeals.
“your bestie?! i've known y/n since high school.”
“umm club rules say we’re literally bffs forever now.”
“the last ‘f’ is already ‘forever’”
camie blinks at her. “oh…i knew that.”
ignoring their bickering, you text katsuki.
me
&lt;<;no i’m free after
&lt;&lt;fhtdrkt
&lt;<we’re going shopping for a new outfit for her
&lt;&lt;;ajdheieo
&lt;<sorry, camie took my phone
katsuki looked at his phone and let out a subtle snicker.
eijirou walked into the living room of their shared penthouse. “hey man! woah, are you smiling at your phone?! who is it? tell me tell me please?”
katsuki rolls his eyes as eijirou gets in his face. “back off, shitty hair! you're like a nosy golden retriever.”
eijirou keeps trying to peek before stopping when katsuki growls at him. “fine then, keep your secrets. it’s probably that omega from yesterday~”
the spike in katsuki’s scent tells him he’s not wrong.
“oooh you do have a crush~” eijirou teases. “she’s cute though.”
katsuki side-eyes him and sends a scent out that clearly says ‘back off’.
eijirou raises his hands in placation. “relax bro, i’m not going after your omega, i have mina. you should just talk to her.”
“duh, that’s what i’m doing.”
“like an actual person and not a throwaway.”
“yeah. this time, i actually am.”
“good for you, man. so what’s the plan?”
“said she’s birthday shopping with mina and— what’s icy hots friends name again?”
eijirou stares blankly. “shoto has friends? is it that kid from that extra course you took?”
“yeah. his girlfriend i guess. that girl who talks like a valley girl.”
“oh camie,” eijirou realises. “i like her, she’s cool. a little dumb though.”
katsuki stands from the couch and stretches his shoulder. “let’s go.”
“where?”
“shopping.”
“ooh, where?”
katsuki stopped for a moment.
me
>>where are you guys going shopping
club omega(cute brat doctor)
>>this is camie (^ω^)
>>going to the daimaru mall
>>tddkhvk
>>i’m sorry about her
>>but yh apparently that’s where we’re going
me
&lt;&lt;;i’ll c u there
you squeak in terror. “what does he mean?! is this code for something? camie!”
“y/n, relax, he’s just meeting us there.”
“he’s meeting us there?!”
mina sips her orange juice, opting to drink something else after her fourth mimosa. “it’ll be fine bestie. i think i had too many drinks.”
camie orders a pitcher of water. “suki knows all the best shopping spots. his parents are fashion designers. you know the bakugous.”
“i think i’m gonna pass out…” you mumble, fanning your face. 
“it’ll be fine. let’s finish our food and head out,” mina suggests.
camie nods and you take a deep breath.
“okay.”
you sit near the fountain in the mall as camie and mina talked to some guy at a kiosk about a set of diamond earrings.
“hey,” a voice calls out.
you look up and see katsuki’s tall and bulky figure before you, his chest and abs defined underneath his black shirt.
“eiji!” mina jumps and hugs eijirou, wrapping her legs around his side waist. “what’re you doing here?”
“kat said we’re going shopping so i just followed him,” eijirou tells her and rubs the top of katsuki’s head. his hand gets smacked away immediately.
you stand abruptly, lost for words. “you actually came?”
“i said i would.”
you swallow nervously and fiddle with one of the patches on your neck. scanning through your brain, you give him the first compliment you can think of and say, “i like your hair?”
“…my hair.”
mina facepalms.
“yes? a shaved head suits you.” you give him a stiff thumbs up. 
“are you alright?”
”yup, i’m great. perfectly fine.”
he waves his hand over his face. “you’re stinking up the place.”
you clap loudly and smile. “i need to use the bathroom. excuse me.” you cover the side of your face to avoid his gaze and stride past him towards the bathroom.
mina looks in your direction and follows after you. you’re splashing water on your face in the sink when she finds you.
“hey, bestie, you okay?”
“i’m a fucking idiot…”
“nooo, that’s not true.” 
“it was horrible! he probably thinks i’m stupid now!”
“no, you were just nervous. everyone gets nervous when they meet someone they might like. c’mon, let's go back. i’m sure this will go over well.”
back at the fountain, katsuki sat with arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
“don’t worry man, i’m sure she went to wash her face. you were nervous too when we got here.”
“shut up shitty hair…”
as you and mina walked back over, katsuki noticed you were still nervous but not as much as before. 
“hey.”
“hi.” he nods.
“sorry about that,” you apologise and play with the pink sleeve of your sweater.
“don't worry about it. where did you guys want to go shop?”
“ooh, dolmas,” camie grins. “then some jewellery from tiffany’s.”
katsuki looks down at you. “is that what you want?”
you peer up at him. “i’m fine with anything but i wouldn't mind going to h&m.”
“what do omegas even like? soft shit, right?”
“i like comfy stuff…”
“good to know. you really wanna go to h&m?”
“what’s wrong with h&m?”
“you can do better.”
“but i like h&m. i got my outfit from there.” you look down at your outfit.
“your outfit looks nice, sure, but an omega like you should have a couple lavish things or something. follow me.” he and eijirou start walking in the opposite direction.
“an omega like me?” you repeat and look at camie. “what does that mean? is that bad?”
“relax, girl,” she dismisses. “it’s a good thing.”
the three follow katsuki and eijirou towards a store where you see a mannequin in a white button-up and a pink plaid skirt. you go inside and search for it before your nose wrinkles when you look at the price . “oh lord, that’s like a month of groceries…”
a looming presence stands behind you, making you nervous.
“you like this?” katsuki rumbles above you.
“huh? oh yeah, but it’s too much for me.”
“get you size then hand it to me.”
“huh?” you stammer. “n-no i can’t let you do that.”
“consider it a birthday present.”
you reluctantly look through the options and thankfully find the size you always wear. “i should try it on first. these things usually run small.”
“i’ll be out here waiting for you. what size are you? i saw something else i thought you’d like.”
you tell him and he hums, wordlessly walking off.
“how’s it going?” mina whispers after witnessing the scene.
“he’s so…weird.”
“weird how?” 
“i dunno, just weird. not bad weird though. he’s different than what i’m used to.”
“different is good sometimes. he seems nice based off of what eiji told me but he just looks mean on the outside.”
“very mean,” you mutter and look at another dress. “we’ll see.”
you’ve never really been a fan of shopping. more likely to just buy stuff online and hope it fits and if it doesn’t just send it back. so you’re exhausted after just two hours of looking through different stores.
“my feet hurt,” you whine. “i shouldn’t have worn wedges today. mina can we go home?”
“we still have like five more stores.”
you whine louder.
katsuki comes back with a long-sleeved dress and notices your irritation. “you okay?” 
“my feet hurt and i’m tired.”
“how about you sit outside. i’ll buy the dress and i'll meet you there.”
“okay,” you hum, stepping out and looking for the nearest bench. you see some empty ones around a little kakigori stand and buy some.
“strawberry for the pretty lady,” the cashier grins. “i put a little extra something on the side.”
“hm?” you hum, look at the side of the cup and notice a number written onto the sparkly paper. “oh…thanks.”
you sit and eat some of the ice, feeling a little awkward about the unsolicited phone number. but he is cute. maybe you’ll text him later and see what happens.
katsuki comes out of the store with a small bag of clothes and sees you eating your treat while darting your eyes between it and the guy behind the kakigori counter. ‘what the fuck is going on…’
the guy comes over to talk to you, making you laugh slightly at something he says before he hands you a small piece of paper and goes back to the stand.
katsuki comes over and turns his head at the smell of horny alpha. ‘ew.’ “you feeling better?”
“i am, thank you,” you smile.
katsuki side eyes the alpha who shrinks into himself and scurries off. rolling his eyes, he sits next to you and looks at your food. “how much was that?”
“700¥.”
“what size is that?”
“a small?”
“700 for a small?! that’s not worth getting up for. y’mind sharing with me?”
“oh, um, but i only have one spoon. let me ask for another one.”
“we can still share.”
you chew your lip. “that’s not very sanitary.”
“it’s not like we’re sick or anything. just hand over the spoon,” katsuki sighs.
“the doctor in me says germs are everywhere…”
“and the not doctor part?”
you think for a moment, then hand him the spoon. “i might as well let loose a little on my birthday.”
“good,” katsuki grins and scoops some of the ice. “is this strawberry?”
“it’s my favorite,” you smile.
“mine too.” he noms the scoop, licking over his lips and fangs. 
you clear your throat. “i never asked what you did outside of owning the club.”
he passes you the spoon and rubs his chin. “i used to model for my folks but i got bored of that. but i’d say the clubs are all i do.”
“is there any other stuff you’re interested in?”
“i don’t know really. the clubs are interesting and the business is good.”
you hum and eat some of the kakigori. “so it’s just business with you?”
he searches his mind for something else. “i like to cook.”
“are you any good?”
“all the food served at the clubs are my recipes.”
“ooh. i didn’t try any but hopefully one day. i’m not a good cook, which is ironic since i love to eat.”
“i could teach you,” he offers.
“really? i don’t want to be a bother,” you mumble.
“you’re not being a bother trust me. just let me teach you the basics.”
“i’d like that.” you smile and his alpha preens proudly.
he glances at the piece of paper and sees it’s a number. when you’re not paying attention he slides it over to himself and crumples it up.
“totes cute,” camie comments from where she’s watching with mina and eijirou.
“i’m happy for him,” eijirou smiles. “so manly.”
mina playfully rolls her eyes at eijirou before smiling at you while you share shaved ice with katsuki. “they have to get together. she always messes up relationships cause of her anxiety.”
“uh mina, kat has anxiety too. he just doesn’t show it as often.”
“really? they’re both perfect for each other then.”
*
eijirou helps load the bags, and mina who’s finally tuckered out from those drinks, into your car.
“i had a great time,” you smile at camie. “we should hangout more often.”
“ohemgee, we should! you can totally come to my place whenever and we’ll have so much fun. also, happy birthday,” she grins, handing you a small bag from tiffany’s.
“camie, you didn’t have to,” you gasp.
“but i did. you’re welcome. inasa said he’s gonna pick me up so i’ll see you two again, okay?”
you nod and give her a hug. “thank you.”
you walk over to katsuki and smile up at him as he playfully raises an eyebrow.
“what is it?” he scoffs softly.
you take out a packet of tissues from your purse and wipe his mouth. “you got syrup on you, katsuki. today was fun. whenever you’re free, you can teach me how to cook like you said.”
“sure, tiny.”
“i’m not tiny, you alphas are just big for nothing.”
“you’re small to me, tiny. you’re practically fun-sized,” he chuckles as your chubby cheeks puff up. ‘cute.’
“can we gooooo?” mina groans from the passenger side. 
“i’m coming, relax. bye katsuki.” you wave.
he holds his hand out for you to shake, which you do with a little amusement. some of his scent from the gland on his wrist rubs off on your sleeve.
“later, tiny.”
“bye, giant,” you scoff before walking back to your car and driving off.
a few minutes after you and mina leave, camie squeals and shakes katsuki’s arm. “you like her~” 
“i’ve only known her for two days.barely two days, a day and a half at most.”
“babe i can tell you like her. my crush meter is never wrong!”
katsuki scoffs and walks to his audi. “whatever. let’s go, shitty hair.”
“bro we can’t just leave camie,” eijirou protests. “that’s so unmanly to leave a lady by herself.”
“good thing you’re with her then.” katsuki enters his car and starts the engine.
“you’re not seriously leaving me here are you?!”
katsuki gives him a look.
“bro!”
“so not cool,” camie pouts.
“fine. get in the car so we wait. i don’t feel like standing and waiting for that bald headed bastard.”
eijirou and camie stifle their laughs. “bro, you’re bald too.”
“i’m not bald. it’s a buzz cut, shut up.”
“i can see your scalp, babe.”
“i’m blond! of course it looks like this.”
“if you say so.”
over the next week, you and katsuki have been texting each other a lot, sharing recipes, and getting to know each other. throughout the week, he’d have someone deliver food to you for lunch under the claim of wanting you to eat right while being busy. the food was amazing, and you’d tell him every time after you eat the dish. monday, he made you kushiyaki, tuesday, it was gyoza, and wednesday, the delivery man comes as usual and meets you outside the hospital but he comes empty handed. he also looked a little different. taking off his hat, he revealed himself to be katsuki.
“katsuki!” you gasp. “hi.”
“hey tiny. i like your getup.”
“it’s a lab coat,” you huff. “what did you bring today?”
“nothing, i’m taking you out for lunch.”
“what, are you serious?”
“yeah, let’s go before your lunch is up.”
“ i can’t go too far but there’s this yakisoba vendor just around the corner.”
katsuki bends his elbow for you to slide your hand into, he rumbles when you do and bleeds happy alpha pheromones into the air. your cheeks heat up, and you suppress a purr as you walk.
the yakisoba is delicious. you happily eat it, blissfully unaware of katsuki watching you.
“yours looks yummier than mine,” you complain half-heartedly and point your chopsticks at his packet.
katsuki tilts it and smiles softly when you twirl your stick in it and take some. you hum and fan your face, swallowing the bite. “spicy. very spicy. oh my god.”
“can’t handle the heat?”
“i like spicy food, i just wasn't prepared.”
“whatever you say, tiny,” katsuki chuckles and hands you the coke he’s drinking.
“thank you,” you hum, drinking some of his soda before eating more of your noodles. 
katsuki walks you back to the clinic after lunch, stopping at the entrance.
“i’ll see you soon, tiny.”
“i hope so. thank you for lunch.”
your genuine smile makes his alpha preen and starts rumbling.
“whatever, you don’t have to be so soft about it.”
“im just being polite but, okay.”
you save at katsuki as he starts walking down the block, your omega swooning a little as you go back to your office. 
“someone smells happy,” mina comments when you walk into the apartment. “did you see another cute baby?”
“yes but that’s not why i’m happy,” you hum and kick off your shoes. “katsuki came to see me for lunch.”
she looks up from her laptop. “oh?”
“yeah. he was really nice and we ate yakisoba.”
“so you went on a lunch date~”
“we did,” you squeal and plop onto the couch next to her. “he’s so cute.”
“you think he’s cute? ooh, bestie has a crush!”
“mina stooop,” you whine, hiding your face in a throw pillow.
“next thing you know he’ll ask you out on a date, then he'll be your boyfriend!”
“no way. an alpha like that is not going to date a paediatrician.”
“he seems pretty interested in you already. who knows, it might go well. so are you going to spend your heat with him next week?”
you gasp, scandalised. “no! he has better things to do and im still too nervous,” you pout.
“you gotta be confident and put yourself out there bestie! he might even say yes!”
“i dunno…”
mina loops her arm over you for a hug. “you’ll get it.”
next week, you took your mandatory week off from work. the first few days aren’t so bad; just hot flashes, hunger, and horniness.
mina gives you as much space as you want but brings you food and water.
on the third day, you turn around in your nest, whimpering loudly. 
you moan in pain as you get another cramp, your fingers not enough to ease the pain in your pussy. your eyes settle on something pink hanging from the laundry basket, your scent mixed with something sweeter catching your nose. standing up, you pluck the sweater you wore last week and press it to your nose to inhale the smell of burnt caramel.
your eyes roll back as you let out a loud moan. ‘alpha. need alpha,’ your omega whines. 
you blindly reach around for your phone as you rock your hips against your hand.
katsuki finishes loading the dishwasher, pressing the button to start the cycle.
his phone buzzes in his back pocket as he opens the fridge to grab water before after morning workout.
y/n(tiny omega) is calling…
katsuki’s eyes widen as he sees the contact. ‘oh shit.’
rushing up the stairs, he shuts the door to his room and sits on his bed. “hey tiny.”
on the other end, you let out a cross between a keen and a moan.
“tiny? you okay?”
‘alpha. need you,’ you whine. ‘miss you.’
“y/n, are you okay?”
‘no, hurts too much,’ you whimper. ‘want you.’
‘she’s in heat. i can’t just hang up on her,’ katsuki thought to himself.
“i’m here omega. it’s gonna be okay,” he mumbles as you whimper softly. “imagine i'm there with you, ‘mega. spread your legs for me, can you do that?”
you whimper out a yes and spread your legs a little wider.
“good girl. lemme know how you're feeling, okay?”
you whimper into the phone and start rubbing your clit. ‘alpha.’
“you're touching yourself aren’t you? what’s running through that pretty head of yours?”
‘you, alpha,’ you keen.
“yeah?”
‘mhm,’ you hum into the phone.
“what would you let me to do to you, pretty girl?”
‘anything,’ you pant. ‘whatever you want.’
katsuki fishes out his dick, languidly stroking himself. “what’re you wearing?”
his phone buzzes again.
y/n(tiny omega)
>>{image}
katsuki opens it and sucks in a breath when he sees the picture of you from the neck down in the familiar loose pink sweater and nothing else, the collar loose enough for him to see the swollen scent glands shiny with oil.
“fuck, you look so hot,” he groans softly, stroking himself.
you whine on the other end and press two fingers into your slick hole. 
‘do you have a heat toy?’ he asks you.
blearily you pull your fingers from your pussy, your omega whining at the loss, and open your bedside drawer to take out a purple and pink jelly, knotted dildo you bought ages ago to help with your heats. “i do,” you whine into the phone.
‘fuck, change the call to face time, pretty girl. i wanna see you.’
you roll onto your back, contemplating if you should. ‘need alpha,’ your inner omega whines.
you tap the button on your phone and set the phone at the head of your bed while you wait for him to switch the call. you softly rock against the toy and whine softly before it finally connects.
‘you look so fuckin’ pretty like this. you wish it was me, don’t you?’ he chuckles, groaning as he fists himself a little faster. ‘you wish it was me stuffing you full right now, pretty girl? show me how you like it.’
you lay on your side and bend your knee towards your chest, giving him a full view of your front. you reach behind your thigh and press the dildo to your hole, sighing in relief when it’s buried up to the knot.
“wish you were here, alpha,” you whimper as you rock against the toy before slowly withdrawing it. katsuki sees the thick, shiny, slick clinging to the toy and your hand, and licks his lips.
‘holy shit, you’re soaked, pretty girl,’ katsuki groans as he starts bucking into his hand. ‘keep going, just like that.’
you swallow thickly, gathering up the courage to ask him to move the camera. “can i see you? please?” there’s some desperation behind the question, how you breathlessly beg for him to show his dick. the sound of your whimpers fill his ears, riling up his alpha. 
katsuki flips his camera around, showing his hand wrapped around himself, his cock, shiny from the precum while his knot was starting to swell from seeing you like that.
‘alpha, you’re so big,’ you gasp from your end before moaning when the dildo ghosts over your g-spot.
“yeah? is it the biggest one you’ve ever seen?”
‘i’ve never seen an alpha’s dick before…only betas,’ you admit shyly.
“oh yeah? well what do you think?”
‘you’re so thick, katsuki.’
“call me katsuki again,” he groans as you keep thrusting the toy in and out.
‘i want you katsuki. you and your knot, alpha,’ you whimper and smell your sleeve again to imagine he’s there. ‘fuck.’
“what was that?”
‘my sweater smells like you, alpha. you smell so good.’
katsuki squeezes his knot, trying not to cum. he exhales loudly, his voice tight as he fights off his orgasm.
‘wish you were here, katsuki,’ you whine and push the toy deeper inside you. the fake knot catches your sore rim. ‘you’d treat me so well. you’d be such a good alpha. you’d be the best sire to anyone’s pups.’
“shit, pretty girl, you can’t just say things like that,” katsuki groans as he tries to hold back.
‘but it’s true,’ you moan. ‘anyone would be lucky to have you as their mate.’
“even you, pretty girl?”
your eyes widen as the words slip from his mouth pushing you over the edge. ‘fuck!’
katsuki watches as the knot disappears between your legs as you buck wildly. ‘shit that was hot,’ he thinks.
you whine into the phone and look into the camera. ‘katsuki?’
“hmm?”
‘i wish it was you, instead.’
katsuki’s eyes roll back as his nose scrunches up, his groans echoing throughout his room. “fuck.” his knot pops, pulsing as his dick spits cum all over his abs and hand.
‘alpha?’ you call out from the phone. ‘alpha are you still there?’
katsuki flips the camera so you can see his face. “i’m still here, pretty girl. don’t worry.”
you start to whine and whimper, your omega disappointed in the fake knot. katsuki hears the door open and some footsteps.
“whew. you’ve been busy,” mina exclaims and taps your shoulder. “uh oh. this is why i told you to get a heat partner.”
katsuki’s alpha growls at the sight of someone else touching you when you’re so vulnerable.
“bestie, who’s—shut up, you didn’t! i’ll go get some rags and some food for you but i’m so happy! she’ll be out for a couple hours.”
katsuki watches the beta give you aftercare, growling when she reaches between your legs to take out the toy. you whine and grab her arm. “knot!”
“it’s okay, you can use it later. you’re such a good omega.”
you purr at the praise, letting go of mina and resting your head on the pillow with a blissed-out expression.
mina picks up your phone. “i’ll let her text you later. byeee~” she sings and hangs up. katsuki stares at his home screen for a moment, then becomes hyper-aware of the cold cum on his stomach and hand. “ew.”
katsuki goes into his bathroom and takes a shower before opening his window and changing into a clean pair of boxers and sweats.
walking inot the living room, he passes eijirou while making his way towards the kitchen.
“damn, bakubro,” eijirou calls out. “what’s got you all worked up?”
“nothing. i’m just getting something to eat.”
“you stink.” he waves his hand in front of his face for effect. “is your rut early?”
“mind your business, shitty hair!”
“did you get cockblocked?”
“shitty hair…”
eijirou holds his hands up in surrender and goes back to watching his movie.
you wake up sore, the fog of heat a little clearer after an orgasm and a nap. you turn over and see mina sitting behind you with her laptop in hand watching a movie. “mina?” you mumble.
“nice to see you’re awake, bestie,” she hums.
you glance at her sitting on your blanket. “you’re in my nest…”
“i can go if you want me to. i just wanted to make sure you’re okay.”
“how long have you been here?”
“about an hour.”
you sigh and lay back down. “i’m just tired. what happened?”
“apparently you spent an hour long face time call with katsuki.”
“what! oh no no no no no. i probably acted like a horny bitch,” you whine and cover your face in shame. “i’m a terrible omega.”
“what, no you’re not, bestie. you’re a great omega and anyone would be lucky to have you as their mate. and he texted you back.”
she shows you the notification on your phone.
not so scary alpha katsuki
>>text me when you wake up
your omega purrs but you shut her up. “i’m so embarrassed.”
“this is a good thing!”
“what if it’s not!” you whine.
“only one way to find out.
me
&lt;&lt;hey
he replies almost immediately.
not so scary alpha katsuki
>>you okay?
me
&lt;&lt;yeah
&lt;&lt;;feeling better
&lt;<i’m sorry for bothering you
&lt;<i probably did sumn weird
not so scary alpha katsuki
>>no you didn’t
>>don’t worry about it
“he’s being so cool about it,” you mumble. “why?”
“almost like he likes you,” mina says and steals a fry from the takeout bag.
“no he doesn’t, does he?”
“he wouldn’t have stayed on the phone if he didn’t.”
“maybe you’re right. hopefully he does like me back.”
“are you saying you like katsuki?”
“i’ve only known him for two weeks, mina. but i think he’s cute,” you say quietly.
“bestie’s got a crush!”
“no, i don’t, shut up!” you whine.
she squeals quietly. “your first actual crush on someone you know in real life and not just instagram models.”
you huff and feel your stomach start to flutter. “i—i should call my alpha.”
mina packs up her things and puts the leftover food on your nightstand. “i cleaned your toy and left it in the drawer. good luck.”
when you’re alone again, you call katsuki and hold your phone to your ear.
‘hey pretty girl,’ katsuki’s voice echoes through the speaker.
“hi alpha,” you smile to yourself.
‘you feeling better?”
you whine and it tells him what he has to know.
‘go get your toy, pretty girl.’
*
two days later you’re coming down from the peak of heat, extremely tired and spent. mina leaves you wrapped up in your blankets with plenty of water, netflix and snacks before going to work.
in the middle of watching inside job, you hear a knock at your front door. you trudge your way over in your self made burrito and open your door. the smell of burnt caramel and smoke hit your nose instantly. “alpha!” you chirp, hugging him and rubbing your cheek on his chest before pulling him inside.
“glad to see you’re feeling better, pretty girl.” katsuki rubs his chin on the top of your head, scenting your bonnet.
you purr contentedly, hugging him tighter. “what’re you doing here? how did you know where i lived?”
“eijirou’s girlfriend gave us your address so i can check on you. i brought food.” he shows you the brown paper bag.
“such a good alpha,” you mumble and pull his free hand. “come into my nest.”
“are you sure, pretty girl. i don’t want to impose on you.”
“i want you to see it. please?”
“all right, lead the way.”
you show him your bed piled high with pink and white blankets and a pastel pink throw. a cat squishmallow sits by your white headboard.
“cozy,” katsuki comments as he sits.
you purr happily as you sit next to him in the nest. “what’d you bring?”
“omurice.”
“that sounds yummy,” you chirp and tug the front of his shirt. “can you take this off so i can put it in my nest?”
“you want my shirt?”
“mmhm.”
katsuki chuckles as he removes his shirt and adjusts himself so he lays on his side. “is this better?”
your eyes trail along his torso, ogling his large pecs, slight six pack and the full sleeve on his right arm and pec. “yeah.”
you tuck the shirt under your pillow and lay down so he’s spooning you and can see your computer screen.
“what show is this?”
“inside job. the guy that made gravity falls is a producer.”
“mm,” he rumbles and rubs your hip. “never heard of them.”
you giggle at the feeling and watch the episode, letting the conspiracy jokes flow through your ears.
“is that a half dolphin half human man?” katsuki mumbles.
“yeah, he was in some military testing and it went wrong, but it’s funny.”
“you’re weird sometimes, but it’s cute,” he mumbles as he presses his nose to your neck. “and you smell so good.”
your omega preens but you choke up, suddenly freezing as katsuki’s rough tongue laps against your skin.
katsuki groans as he tastes your butterscotch scent, his hips rutting against your ass.
you turn your neck enough to face him. “katsuki, i don’t want to go all the way during my heat…”
“that’s okay,” he rumbles. “i won’t push you.”
“you’re so sweet,” you purr, tilting your head back to smile up at him. “but…we can do other stuff if you want.”
“like this?” katsuki whispers as he leans in and cups your face, eyes flickering down to your lips before laning in and kissing you softly.
you turn around and lean into the kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck.
katsuki rumbles softly as he cups your face, deepening the kiss.
“alpha?” you murmur as you pull away.
“mhm?”
your scent flares a little with post-heat heaviness.“need you.”
katsuki’s pupil dilate at the change in scent. ‘holy shit.’ “you sure, pretty girl?” he mumbles as you stare up at him.
“please?”
he kisses your neck and shoulder, tongue darting out to taste your scent gland. his hand slips your sleep shorts off and your legs open on impulse. his alpha rumbles loudly but he knows your heat is the one talking.
“where’s your toy, pretty girl?”
“drawer,” you whine, tilting your head allowing him to nose more against your scent gland. you cling to him while he stretches his arm to your drawer to take out the dildo.
you whine when you see the toy, pulling his sweatpants. “knot!”
“can’t give you the real thing yet pretty girl. not when you’re like this,” he coos, kissing your forehead.
you whine and paw at his sweats. “alpha.”
“i’m sorry but i’m not taking advantage of you like this.”
you whine and you try rubbing your ass against him.
“no, y/n,” he sighs, gripping your hips so you stop. he adjusts both of you so he sits on his knees between your legs while you lay on your stomach. “i’ll still help you.”
he leans over you and allows you to inhale his scent. your hips buck up against him, covering his sweatpants with slick.
“easy, pretty girl. i’ll give you what you want.”
rubbing the dildo along your hole, he taps it a couple of times on your clit before slowly pushing it in.
“oh fuck, alpha!” you whine as you buck your hips.
“i’m right here, y/n. y’like that don’t you,” he whispers as you moan into your pillow.
his eyes focus on the way the dildo easily glides out of your cunt, slick starting to drip down and wet his fingers. the air is thick with your scent with the lingering heaviness of heat but not as strong as a few days ago.
your hands grip the blanket next to your head.
“is it too much for you, pretty girl?”
“more,” you whine. “please.”
“faster or harder, omega?”
“yes,” you whimper, arching your back more.
katsuki places a hand on your lower back as he moves the toy at your request and leans over you, kisses behind your ear. “you’re such a good omega, y/n.”
you choke on a moan when you cum, whining into your pillow. your hips cant backwards against the toy. “alpha, knot me please!”
katsuki pushes the toy ask the way inside you with a soft pop, grinding the tip of it into your g-spot to draw out your orgasm. your body falls flat on the bed, knees and arms weak but your omega is satisfied.
“good girl,” he whispers, rubbing your sides and kisses your cheek. “you stay here, i’ll go get your food and some water.”
you whine at the mention of katsuki leaving. “nooo,” you mumble. “alpha stay.”
“just relax. imagine this is my knot.” he wiggles the toy and you sigh. ‘it’s not as big but it’ll do.’
katsuki kisses your temple and walks out of the room to get the omurice he made. ‘dammit it’s fuckin’ cold. i might as well just remake her food.’
about ten minutes later, katsuki comes back in with two plates of food. “you awake, pretty girl? y/n?” he calls out as you groan softly.
“alpha?”
“there she is. i brought you food.”
he places a plate on the other side of the bed then goes into your bathroom looking for a washrag so he can clean you up.
once he’s done he helps you sit up and sets you upright, draping an arm over your shoulder while handing you the plate of food. “eat up, pretty girl. can’t have you starve during your heat.”
“such a good alpha,” you mumble with a dased expression. 
katsuki chuckles softly and scoops a piece of egg and rice up. “y/n, you gotta eat. open wide for me, pretty girl.”
you rest your head on his shoulder and open your mouth. “ahh,” you groan softly.
“you want me to feed you?” he chuckles after you take the first bite.
“no, i can—i can do it,” you mumble, reaching for the spoon. “this is good.”
“i know,” he chuckles as you drowsily feed yourself. 
“what about you?”
“huh?”
“aren’t you gonna eat?”
“not right now, i’m worried about you.”
you pout as you look up at him and scoop some of your rice and move it towards his mouth. “eat.”
“it’s not for me, y/n. thats yo—”
“no, eat.”
he takes a bite, chewing as you take your own bite.
“yay,” you hum taking your own bite before feeding him again. you squirm happily and keep doing this until you finish your food. “oh, there’s no more…”
“are you still hungry?”
“no. can we cuddle some more?”
he takes the bowl away and puts it on the nightstand. “sure.”
you turn around and rest your head on katsuki’s chest. your omega purrs happily at the closeness. “katsuki?”
“yeah?”
“thank you,” you hum.
“no problem, tiny.”
mina returns in the late evening and sees the pair of slides by the door. your scent is in the air but mixed with another.
“y/n? i’m home. who’s car is by the curb?”
mina doesn’t get a response. 
“y/n?”
she knocks on your door before peeking her head into your room, instantly holding her nose as she smells yours and katsuki’s heavy intertwined scents with an undertone of sex.
she peeks into your room and sees you wrapped up in your blanket burrito next to katsuki sitting up on your headboard. your head is on his chest while you sleep and he watches netflix. “oh, you two have been busy,” she chuckles. “hi bakugou.”
his head perks up at the sound of the door opening. “you saw nothing,” he glares.
“how is she?”
“satisfied. we didn’t do anything so don’t get any ideas.”
you let out a small snore and shift closer to him, rubbing your face on his chest and purring from his scent.
“i wasn’t worried about that. i’m glad you care about her,” mina smiles as you purr quietly.
“yeah yeah. go tell your boyfriend i’ll be late tonight.”
“i will,” she giggles.
“and don’t go making it a big thing!” he hisses.
she will.
katsuki gently shakes you awake after you’ve been asleep for an hour. “i’ve gotta go, tiny.”
you pout and stop your omega from whining. “do you have to?”
“i’ve gotta go to work tonight, so yeah. i wanted to ask you something before i go? are you free next saturday?”
“saturday? mm, i have a shift but i could sacrifice my day off for a free saturday. why?”
“i wanna spend time with you. my parents have a show that day then i could take you out for dinner.”
“katsuki, i’d like that,” you smile as he looks down at you. he grabs the shirt but you grab the other end. “can i keep it?”
“i have to wear a shirt, tiny.”
you look up at him with big pleading eyes, bottom lip wobbling. katsuki relents and lets it go. “fine. you can keep it.”
“yay!”
“alright, i’ll see you then, pretty girl,” he chuckles and kisses your cheek before climbing out of your bed.
you watch him walk out of the room and swoon softly. “bye…”
the front door shuts and immediately, mina rushes in, flopping onto your bed. “tell me everything. he didn’t take advantage of you during your heat did he?”
“no.” your eyes dart to your drawer. “he didn’t. he was really nice and helpful, he even made me omurice.”
“anything else?”
“we watched netflix together and cuddled. he asked me out on a date for next saturday. now i just have to find something to wear…”
“i have just the thing!” mina squeals. 
“i don’t want anything short! mina your clothes aren’t my style.”
“mmm, nevermind. ooh, what about that outfit you bought when katsuki went with us to the mall?”
you think about the pink plaid shirt sitting in the back of your closet with the long-sleeved white shirt. “i would but i don’t want to mess it up.”
“girl, this is the first date you’ve had in ages. wear the skirt.”
“okay okay. i will. now leave, i wanna do…stuff.”
“uh huh. have fun,” mina snickers before walking out and closing the door behind her.
you fish out the shirt from under your blanket and bring it to your nose, shuddering slightly. ‘alpha.’
eijirou hears the front door open as he’s getting ready in his room and peeks out. “hey bakubro. where’s your shirt?”
“don’t worry about it.”

Welp, it seems the ISWM brainrot has claimed another victim (namely, me). I’m especially fascinated by Captain Y/N ourselves and our apparently superhuman ability to make everyone in the galaxy simp over us (but no one more than our trusty Head Engineer, of course~).
With that in mind, uhhhh... Here’s a Scenario™, I guess? (Partially inspired by this headcanon(?) post.)
So... picture this:
Gunther, Celci, and Burt are discussing something that, for whatever reason, they don't want Mark to hear. So they pull the Captain aside and ask if Cap could keep him busy for them. Just for a little while.
Cap's like: "I've got somewhere I need to be in a minute, but... wait here, I'll try something."
The crewmates watch as the Captain wanders over and says a few words to Mark. They can't make out what Cap is saying exactly, but by the soft smile on Cap's face and the increasingly idiotic grin on Mark's, they can guess it's probably something sugary-sweet and complimentary.
As Cap talks, their hand goes up to the back of Mark's head and into his hair, sloooowly petting it. Mark's gaze is LOCKED on the Captain's, and his eyes even go a little glassy. He almost seems to stop breathing.
The Captain boops his nose and walks away.
Mark remains in place.
The whole exchange took about 45 seconds.
Cap returns to the group. "Alright, that should do you. By my estimate, Mark won't remember anything that happens within the next ten minutes or so."
Gunther: [removes his shades] "...Holy shit. You straight-up HYPNOTIZED him."
Celci: [shaking her head, smirking] "What an idiot."
Burt: "Captain, the power you wield is both impressive and terrifying to behold."
Cap: "I know. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to get to with Navigation." [salutes and leaves]

Listen, I have no idea how that’s even possible, but the second episode is just as good as the first one, if not better.
  I’m actually struggling to think of anything that was not to my taste, so again, I’ll begin with cons, since I have a feeling those will be much shorter:
1. Alicent harming herself 🙄🤨😒
Not so long ago I’ve made a post about different show where I’ve pointed out this newest trope writers use. They make the most unlikable character in the story either a victim of rape, self harm, or a minority in order to make them look more sympathetic. More often than not, they do that to female characters. It’s disgusting, it’s on the nose, it has no place in this story. I hate it. Let women be bad characters, we are only people, we can be terrible bitches just like any other random dude.
2. The Wigs™. Nothing new here, still bad though. The one for Laena is sending me 🤣🤣, they did my girl dirty.
3. Rhaenys’ talk about men not choosing her, when she was supported by two Great Houses and the House with the largest fleet in the Kingdom 🙄. This woman should know better than anyone that the Great Council was a suss and the voting was cheated. I have to say, though, that there is a big chance she was simply manipulating Rhaenyra, just like Corlys was manipulating Viserys. I’m putting this in cons just in case for now.
4. I hoped that they would change Dragonstone’s design, at least the interior. That’s an ancestral seat of the Royal family at the time of their peak. It kinda made sense for it to look dreadful in GOT, but not in HOTD.
5. The little figures shown during the choosing of the next Kingsguard were pretty and all that, but what was the point of them? I have no idea.
6. It seems they’re not going to make Strongs members of the Oldtown Triad conspiracy, and that’s a shame. It takes away a lot of depth from Harwin’s character, if not all of it. It also simplifies the coup for ‘common viewer’. As if we were not capable of understanding it. Not to mention we’ll no longer have the tragic irony of Viserys replacing Otto with Lyonel thinking he made a difference, when in fact this changed nothing 😞. 
And that’s it. The rest was wonderful.
1. I simply adore Corlys being a manipulative asshole, playing for himself and his family and for no one else. I was so worried that the writers would go for Velaryons being Targaryen’s bitches and besties and *Yay! We are so proud to be light!Targs* thing. It sure is what most of this fandom has thought about them for years. Corlys twisting the situation on the Stepstones into an excuse to wed his daughter to the King and going after Daemon as soon as Viserys puts him aside was brilliant. The fact that he straight out admits by the end of the episode, that the situation on the Stepstones puts HIS House in danger 🥳😍. Love to see it.
2. We can witness Rhaenyra slowly trying to gain her voice during political meetings and how quickly the entire Oldtown Team shuts her up. It shows us so clearly, that they’ve used her for their own agenda and that with Daemon gone, nobody, even her own father, gives a single fuck about what she wants to say. It’s so heartbreaking, seeing just how strong Otto’s grasp on Viserys is.
3. Rhaenyra choosing Criston was such a great scene covering multiple pieces of storytelling. The way she has to stand on an increase, to make us understand how ‘small’ she still is. Rhaenyra smiling, truly smiling for the first time in the entire episode before she sees Daemon again, while she chooses a man who will later bring death to her and her children, almost brought tears to my eyes. Also, her already having stronger backbone and doing something Viserys couldn’t do for years – standing up to Otto. The fact that she picks Cole not because she’s smitten, but because Criston is a great fighter.🤌🤌 
4. Love the little detail of Otto trying to put someone from House Crakehall or Mallister on the Kingsguard. Crakehalls will later fight for the Greens, while Mallisters wanted to fight for the Greens and changed their minds only after Velaryons’ threatened them intervention.
5. I still hate Alicent being Rhaenyra’s friend, but their scene was full of brilliant characterization. They used it perfectly to show the contrast between the two. Alicent being this pious, well-bred Lady, who knows her place, does her fathers' bidding, goes to Sept, prays for her mother and tells Rhaenyra that she should not get involved with politics. And Rhaenyra, talking about men plotting behind her back to a person who is actually plotting behind her back (and good lord, I love this scene!) and trying to act for herself. It’s a beautiful build up from the last episode, with Alicent being terrified of the septa and feeling this pressure to learn, because that’s what is expected of a Lady vs Rhaenyra already having the knowledge, because it’s an interesting story worth knowing and remembering, as well as the iconic „fuck the septa”. 
6. I love how the show emphasizes the difference between Valyrians and the Andals and how Rhaenyra and Daemon are the main representatives of their culture. They refuse to abandon their traditions, to forget their language and faith. I love how it shows them not really belonging in this country, in their own court. Love how it explains Oldtown preferring Viserys who managed to acclimatize better. Rhaenyra doesn’t even know what to do in the Sept, because those are not her gods, yet she’s still being respectful. But that was never enough for the Andals, was it?
7. I’ve changed my mind. Velaryons being at King’s Landing actually explains the large plot hole of just how Laena managed to bind Vhagar to her, when Velaryons haven’t been around any dragnos (except for Meleys ofc) for years in the books.
8. I like how smooth the exposition for Rhaenyra’s age was. Viserys talking about her being fifteen makes perfect sense, because what father doesn't find the adolescence of his little girl to be terrifying? I salute all the idiots screaming about her being eleven.
9. The microexpressions Emily gives are just cheff's kisses👌. Alicent knows very well what she’s doing.
10. Rhaenyra wearing Daemon’s necklace even after all this time and ‘the heir for a day’ rumor 😭. She doesn’t believe it for a second, and I love it!
11. Viserys straight out admitting that he thinks of Otto and Grand Maester as the Small Council. Not that he’s wrong, but the fact that those cunts don’t even have to pretend, yet still do, shows you just how calculating they are. The little comedy Otto does with Mellos, trying to make it look like one is for Laena and the other is not, yet we still got treated to the little look maester gives Otto, like „c’mon man, this is your line now”. I want to kiss the showrunners.
12. Laena asking after Vhagar. Yes girl, you have your priorities in the right order!
13. The fact that they point out Lords making vows to Rhaenyra and how it does change everything. Finally somebody understands how feudalism works. Rhaenys storming off with a huff, because she knows she’s been talking nonsense and trying to twist the facts, yet it’s still not working on Rhaenyra. „Your father is not a fool”, please Rhaenys, you can do better than that.
14. Otto jumping out of his chair to stop Viserys, because he knows that if he allows the two brothers to meet, they will make up and all of his hard work will be for nothing. The audacity this man has, to say that Daemon would harm his brother, when he’s the one plotting House Targaryen demise!
15. I know I’ve made many jokes about it as soon as I saw it, but the scene on Dragonstone is actually brilliant. Daemon increasing his provocations to the point where he can no longer be ignored was a smart idea to make his brother meet up with him. If not for Otto, it would have worked. The fact that he takes the specific egg, hoping that if he doesn't get to see his brother, he at least gets to see Rhaenyra, again shows you that this man just wants to be with his family. And when it doesn’t go as he’s planned, he at least makes an attempt to rouse Otto, counting on him to take the bait and give Daemon an excuse to finally kill the cunt where he stands.
16. The dismissing way in which Daemon addresses Ser Cunt, the “very good” line. Oh, how well we were served this week 🤭🥰.
17. The way this episode makes it explicably clear that dragons are the most deadly weapons in the world and that dragonriders are a tremendous power the King wields. And show writers are hammering it down hard. First when Rhaenyra points it out to her father, who’s constantly being manipulated into forgetting just how large of a force he has at his disposal. Then again when Otto calls the egg weapon. And then again when we see Ser Cunt, the rest of the Kingsguard, and Otto cower before Caraxes. Yes, Cole might be a better knight, yes, Kingsguard might be better trained than City Watch, but it still makes no difference because Targaryens have dragons. It was a great scene to make viewers understand, that if you wish to get rid of Targaryens, you have to do it without openly challenging them. Because if you do, you’ll lose every time.
18. The face Otto makes when he sees Caraxes 🙌👏. The fact that book readers can see the moment he remembers Hightowers' own prophecy. That if they ever dare to fight dragons, the Oldtown will burn. The fact that he almost believed the lies he’s been feeding Viserys and forgot for a second why Targaryens are the Royal family in the first place. His forced calmness, the way he straightens his back and gives his men the command to stand down. That was some wonderful characterization done with only one line of dialog. And it makes him look like a badass even though he’s retreating.
19. Daemon standing down as soon as he sees Rhaenyra, his little smile when she lands, him throwing her an egg. She’s been so alone this whole time, with both Rhaenys and Alicent dismissing her new role, her father ignoring her, the Small Council basically treating her like a joke. And here Daemon is, giving her what she wants without any fight. It’s also such an important little detail for how this story will unfold. This man hates the mere idea of Rhaenyra being angry at him, she’s the only family member who still loves him implicitly and for a man who craves love as much as he does, it makes perfect sense that he’s ready to do anything to prove himself to her. The fact that Otto is right there to see it, explains even more the Oldtown Triad using this affection against them later on.
20. By the way, I love how Otto begins this episode with absolutely ignoring Rhaenyra as an opponent and only seeing her as a naive girl, who's there just to serve his purpose (the same way he uses his own daughter), only to realize by the end how much of a real threat she is. He’s just caught up to the fact that he made Lords of Westeros swear fealty to a woman who’s a dragonrider, a dragon hatcher, is actually very comfortable with her valyrian roots, has a very good relationship with another dragonrider, and who at the age of fifteen dares to challenge him and straight out ignores his council. The irony of replacing Daemon with someone much, much worse is slowly starting to bite him in the ass. 
21. The writers really be out there, pissing on all those morons claiming that Daemon is a power-hungry madman, who wishes to take his brother’s crown. „I’ll speak of my brother as I wish. You will not.”
22. I loved watching Corlys exploiting Daemon’s position in order to get Caraxes to deal with his war. It’s a really well-played move.
23. And here we have it, Rhaenyra’s final realization that she’s truly alone, that she can’t trust anyone, that nobody at court stands in her corner. Which will later explain her need to find someone just for herself, and the way she’ll see and use Criston, and her happiness at having Daemon back again, and jeez, it’s such a well-writen story!
So yeah, another episode that turned out to be great. I was still not over my shock from last week and they did it again, they gave us good ASOIAF content. Can’t wait for more.

Dating Inumaki Toge (Black!GN!Reader) would include…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: Literally nothing but tooth rooting fluff lmao
a/n: Greetings to anyone who stumbles along this fic and decides to read it! This is my first time writing for the JJK universe and I hope that y’all enjoy! Side note: These headcanons are long cause I got carried away writing for my favorite JJK character and one of my favorite anime characters of all time. So please excuse the ramblings and infodumping style headcanons lmao. Expect more from me that has to do with JJK especially when it comes to Inumaki content. Also smol heads up, I low-key wrote this with a darker skinned!reader and 4type hair!reader in mind unapologetically so oop!! Anyways please have a fun time reading this and remember to reblog it if you ended up enjoying it! :))
If you want to be tagged in any of my content, don’t be afraid to tell me via my ask box or through messages! Just remember to be clear about what specific kinds of content, characters, and fandoms you want me to tag you in or if you want to be put on my general tag list! I’m always looking to add more people and I’d be more than happy to add you (if you wish)! :3
Tumblr media
Where to start with Inumaki, how about imagining the softest & most wholesome relationship that you possibly can that transcends words and in fact doesn’t need them in order for your relationship with him to function or feel complete/valid
Your relationship together functions a lot on both the little things in life but also the little gestures in life that convey things that most words (or signs) cannot
Not that signing or speaking is any less valuable, Inumaki is more than willing to teach you some Japanese Sign Language
Though you’ve got the food language down pat
No really Inumaki will reply with rice ball ingredients and you’ll dissect what he’s saying better than a world renowned English professor
This fascinates literally everyone that y’all come across, hell even for as long as Maki and Panda have known and come to understand and decipher what Inumaki says, they’re still in awe at how you read and communicate with him
You swear that it’s all in the eyes and it really is
Toge doesn't really hold back emotions or suppress his thoughts about something around anyone in general so that helped with understanding him immensely
You’ve come to be able read every little crease and fold that Inumaki’s face will make within various moods like tea leaves
At times you even know his mood better than he does and vice versa
For as much as you’ve learned about him, he’s made sure that he’s done his due diligence and done the same for you
For some people that would frighten them because it means no longer being able to really hide certain parts of yourself or certain emotions during tough times
However the two of you welcome this intimacy and vulnerability, though it of course took sometime and learning
Especially when it came to recognizing and accepting that physical touch would be a main form of communicating between the both of you
Goodnight kisses are often animal kisses, which holds a lot of meaning for Toge since he has to let his high collar down in order for you two to touch and rub noses together
It was an incredibly nervous and anxious moment for him when you suggested animal kisses as a form of affection for the first time
To make him feel better you asked him to close his eyes and by the end it left him wanting more
Which he gladly stole from you cause he’s That Guy™
Whenever you want some attention from Toge, you like to hold your hands out, palms facing upwards, and then allow him to come to you and proceed to settle his palms on top of yours
This gesture along with the touching of foreheads is such a frequent occurrence from you both
Expect Toge to always initiate forehead touches with you whenever you and him have to split up for a mission
These touches linger much longer than normal, and even have an added nuzzle in them
At times he'll close his eyes as if to relish and store the moment inside his stash of memories of you but also secretly wish you good luck internally
If you hold this boy's head with both of your hands while doing so he will melt on a nuclear scale :"
Honestly discussing which forms of intimacy to try out or implement usually happen over text, especially at later hours within the day
You love to huddle underneath the covers and just text away to Inumaki about anything and everything with only the screen of your phone to light up your room
He’s a pretty insight and thoughtful guy, regardless of how he personally chooses to express that
That thoughtfulness really shines when one day he requests to start helping you do your hair
If you have longer natural hair, he’ll watch tentatively and take notice of how much maintenance it requires
This also goes for any protective styles that you put your hair in that require work or any weaves that you use and maintain
Hell even if you have short ass hair, he will take note of how you care for it and yearn to aid you in doing so
Also does not mind if you just walk out the door with you hair in its natural shrunken state
So yeah from weaves to waves, this man will absolutely learn all that he can in order to make your hair care time run smoother
Feel like he’s the type to really be able to express how he doesn’t have the words to describe how much he’s in awe when your melanin shines in natural sunlight
Whenever you two are in public, he will unapologetically stare at your hands especially when he holds him
He does this thing were he’ll lift up your hand and try to get the sunlight to hit it at just the right angles
Gets routinely lost in thought whenever you’re around him and in broad daylight because he is yet again admiring your skin tone
Will try to collect and buy accessory items that he thinks best compliments it
Speaking of accessory items, he does enjoy crafting you little trinkets and baubles for you to either wear or just keep around you
If you make him something he’ll honestly short circuit, like no really Toge has left the chat that is life!
Will keep that item on him at all times, whether it be visible or not, he just prioritizes how it makes him feel to wear it and know who made it and gave it to him
Loves to look at and caress it before he goes to bed and after he wakes up in the morning
He'll want more stuff for decoration and what not for his room so that he'll have items that you have made and remind him of you in his personal space
Also I forgot to mention, you and Inumaki also speak through hugging
No really like whenever you two hug in public or just in front of other people, when you and him pull apart, you’ll reply to whatever his hug was meant to convey
Like you and Toge are having a full blown conversation with hugs and no spoken or signed word and it will make jaws drop
Certain squeezes in certain areas for a certain time all have their own little individual messages within the nuances of the actions
Sometimes it’s obvious to everyone what Toge means to tell you or vice versa cause there’s a chance that he might not ever see you again and is making sure that if this is the last time that he’ll ever hug you, you best know loud and clear what he’s trying to get across to you in that moment
But there’s also touches for less intense moments that are just meant to be cute and endearing and not really read deeply into as well
Like whenever you boop Toge’s nose or poke his side playfully, it’s pretty much a form of playful banter between you two but without spoken word
I feel like I’ve been talking about mainly touch or non verbal communication a lot so onto some headcanons that don’t revolve around that lmao
I feel like Toge and his partner would be two incredibly mischievous people or at least Toge would convince his partner into partaking in some shenanigans every once in a while
Like they’re two little shits in a pod but nobody ever sees them coming, guesses that it was them, or believes others when people call them out sksks
Being a little shit with Toge includes pulling light pranks, annoying people with your excellent sense of understanding between one another, and photobombing anyone and everyone
Like no y’all will do this thing that’s almost like a skit where you and him just talk back and forth in rice ball ingredients and you’ll catch and understand literally everything that he’s saying but others can NOT understand the both of you and it drives them MAD
You've undoubtedly pissed off both Maki and Megumi the most with your antics while giving Itadori brain rot whiplash cause that boy isn't smart enough to understand you two and takes the conversations way too seriously
Also for the photobombing people, you have formations and plans for those moments and it’s almost like you two choreographed photobomb poses n stuff
[Cue the Formation B line that Gojo says but its you saying it and rushing alongside Toge to jump into camera view of someone’s family vacation photo
Some people don’t mind or care, others join in on the fun, while some have some color words to exchange with you and Toge lmao
Also feel like Inumaki is a pretty good gamer so despite your personal skill level, he will always be down to chill and play something that the two of you can really get into together
Oh and if you know how to play a musical instrument, Toge will jump to organize a little jam session with you before you can even blink
Expect there to also be movie nights and show binge watching with Toge as well, like you have not LIVED till you have seen this man scream OKAKA !!! at the TV cause a show ended on a cliffhanger after being cancelled
Eventually you join in on yelling rice ball ingredients at TV screens while also throwing popcorn cause screw shows ending on cliffhangers permanently
You and him absolutely share playlists and watchlists of any kind together
Whatever you listen to will get absorbed into whatever Toge listens to, and he’ll play your favs whenever he’s thinking about you or about to walk out the door to start his daily training
If he catches you listening to what he likes to listen to personally or songs he’s recommended you based on your own personal taste, expect him to bring that up and how happy it makes him during your daily midnight texting convos with each other
Music is a bit of a key part within your relationship with him cause it expresses another form of intimacy between you and him that can sometimes incorporate words or not
It symbolizes and mirrors a ton of similarities within your relationship while being a way to communicate non verbally with one another while embracing so many complex emotions, all at the same time
This is the main reason why he steals you away to slow dance to something playfully or just bask in some tunes that either you or him found and shared with each other
For him he never wants the music to stop, he wants what the two of you have to persist and stay closely intertwined with one another
No matter what tune or melody is currently playing in your life, as long as he has you for a dancing partner, he’ll face the dance floor with you on it by his side

🌠. Take the Lead
Tumblr media
Kinolett entry for the Ballroom Event by @bluerosethornrp ! I'm late since I had some busy last weeks but I still wanted to participate because couples dancing make me go feral 💕
Tumblr media
Pairing: Scarlett/Kino. Kinolett. Summary: Kino got invited to a Ball at the Demon World. It was decided that Scarlett would attend with him, but there is a problem... he has little-to-no experience in Ballroom dancing. Scarlett will gladly teach him all he needs to know to be a great dancer, before her own hidden insecurities flare up when she faces an event full of high-rank demons as a low-rank Ghoul herself... Word count: 5.5k. Warnings?: Long (7 short parts). Lots of fluff. Like one kiss per part. Canon-atypical supportive lovers. Insecurities and vulnerability from both sides. Implied impostor syndrome. Slightly suggestive scene. OC lore. Character growth (?). A/N: It was going to be something short but I got carried away with the idea of Scarlett teaching Kino how to dance (+why she has to) and overall the bonding experience of overcoming Minor Inconveniences™ lmao. Those who aren't too familiarized with Scarlett may find bits of lore regarding her past as a servant and her Ghoul status getting the best of her, but I tried to make it the least ambiguous possible ^^; Hope you enjoy💕
Tumblr media
🎶.
“One, two, three, one, two— No!”
The music stopped again, and with it the barely consistent dance session of the two. Although, at times it seemed like a dance lesson from teacher to student. To an extent, it was.
“You almost step on my foot again,” Scarlett sighed, holding the bridge of her nose with exasperation.
“But I didn’t,” Kino defended himself, also tired of the relentless orders, complaints, more detailed orders, repeat. He threw his head back to stretch his neck, holding his right shoulder to relieve some tension. 
“You have been making the same mistake for a while, I can tell you were going to.” 
“Maybe my teacher isn’t that good after all…” he mumbled, knowing the risk that it meant.
“Excuse me?” Scarlett glared at him. The harsh, offended look on her face was telling enough that Kino’s words hit where they intended, and Kino’s own growing grin helped the case. Questioning her musical knowledge –either around instruments or ballroom dancing– was something impossible for her to allow or let slide, “...again, from the top. Fix your posture.” 
One, two, three, the Waltz began to play once more...
🧧.
It all had begun when Kino received some invitation to a Ball in the Demon World. Excited to have someone to go with this time as a proper attendee, he told Scarlett about it. The Ghoul was thrilled, wondering what to wear, how to arrange her hair, what makeup to use… and it soon became evident that, while Kino was part of the Demon Realm like many others, he hardly got invited to those events. And if he did, it never ended up well. 
Maybe that’s why they stopped inviting him.
Scarlett could empathize with that, as she had attended those events as a Maid rather than an attendee. Considering her options, she asked a handful of questions about the events he did attend, and so she discovered Kino lacked skill in dances with a partner the most. 
“It can’t be that bad,” she had said to this new information, knowing how he loved to over humble himself, albeit usually too much.
“...it can. I can only learn so much watching tutorials and having no real partner to dance with, you know?” 
Admitting a lacking skill was harder than actually failing, there was no doubt in Kino's mind. Maybe that particular situation left in evidence how lonely he was most of his life, something he actively ignored on the daily, which made it worse. It had been a while since he was no longer alone, but that didn’t make it less humiliating to acknowledge. 
Therefore, he had decided not to engage in the dancing and have fun with some other activity instead. Knowing that many important members of the Demon World were going to attend and he had no reason –so far– to ruin it, he did want to give a good impression. Or a better one. Especially when he could have someone by his side this time around.
Scarlett, however, had different plans.
🎶.
Back to the dancing lessons, it seemed like she was the one leading the dance all the time, something Kino wasn’t very amused about. He tried to follow the rhythm she marked and the instructions she gave, but it was too much new information too soon. One, two, left, right, forward, backwards, twirl? They never got to the twirl part. 
“Slower,” her voice took him out of his mind, “you won’t learn faster if you do this faster, it doesn’t work like that,” he was about to protest with another snarky comment, but she continued, “if you really want to learn, follow my lead for now, okay?”
In the end, he said nothing. He did want to learn, he couldn’t let this be a failure by giving up. It was true that no one would know who taught who or how they learned... They probably wouldn’t even look at him! They never did unless he’d set up a scene, there were more important things to worry about, so, of course—
“Kino, you’re rushing again.”
“Ugh…” he sighed, they both did, “let’s take a break, I’m tired already.” 
Scarlett looked at the time, “it’s been a few hours, I believe a break won’t hurt.” 
The music was left playing at a lower volume. Kino flopped dramatically on the couch, she watched him mumble in annoyance. 
“We still have a few days for you to learn…” 
“I wanna learn nooow…” The cushion underneath his face muffled his frustrated whines. Scarlett shook her head, going over to the couch herself to sit down as well, but he occupied all of it. No matter how much she nudged him, he wasn’t moving.
So she sat on his back instead, like he sometimes did, and chuckled when he whined again.
“Haa… I’m tired too. You’re not making this easy…” Quick enough, she shifted positions, in a way that she’d lay flat on top of him. He uncovered his face, resting his head on its side while her own face laid on his shoulder. Kino sighed, deeply, “I won’t give up if you don’t. You will be the fruit of my tutoring, I can’t let that happen!” 
“Hm,” the Vampire continued to be upset, “how did you learn this anyway? Was it this tough? No way.”
“Yes,” she closed her eyes, “when you have to teach your Young Lady, you are taught harshly. You either learn... or learn.” 
“Well, I don’t have to teach anyone,” he pouted. His frustration knew no limits, he had to fight the urge to ragequit.
However, that silly remark made Scarlett think. It was true, there was no need for such a reckless lesson for him, it just happened to be the only way of learning she knew. “You may be right…” Think, think. She couldn’t make her lesson a videogame, and rushed or inconsistent practice only made everything worse. There had to be something else… 
Ping!
“...what was that?” 
“A notification,” Kino explained, not moving a muscle, “either my lives are full again, or I can claim my daily reward. I’ll check later. There’s no event today, so—” 
Chu.
Scarlett kissed his cheek. 
“—!? W-what, why?” Kino got caught off-guard, random kisses were still unexpected the majority of times. He didn’t dislike the feeling, but a ‘because I wanted to’ was hardly an excuse when he was in the middle of answering something she asked. 
“A reward,” she said, serious. They made eye-contact, looking for something different on each other’s eyes; Kino tried to understand, while Scarlett tried to send her message across. 
None of them got any answer. 
“... ... ...huh?” After a while, Kino’s confusion became audible. 
“We have this… Event. And you can get Rewards–” Kino had to hold back to not laugh at her poor attempt to make her lessons youth-friendly. Or modern-day-friendly, as none of them were particularly young. She sounded like a robot, but his interest was caught, “I will give you a kiss for every step you learn correctly. The more you accumulate, the better… right? O-or you can get a hug every ten kisses—?”
That was enough for Kino to burst out laughing. 
“Hahahahaha!” Scarlett felt her cheeks reddening, did she get that wrong!? At the same time, she couldn’t even get mad when his pout became a laughter, “that was terrible, but nice try. Hahaha~” he took the chance to roll over so he could face her from below, “ahh… you’re so cute when you try to get on with the times.”
“Shut up…” She looked away, her attempt at getting angry completely failed, “I want you to learn too, yes…? You want me to teach you, so I will. Maybe sugar stars are a better reward?” 
He chuckled more, his arms coiled around her in a hug, “how about you give me something I can’t get myself?” 
Looking at how he leaned in closer for a kiss, Scarlett got the message. She should think about something else entirely, sweets and kisses were easily obtainable, indeed. Especially when asking without words like that seemed to be even easier for her to indulge. 
“Well…” Her lips called for his, there was little she could do to deny it. However, one last sane thought crossed her mind and came out as a whisper moments before she’d get lost with him in a kiss, “you can’t seem to level up your dancing skills without me to begin with.” 
“...Touché.”
☔.
One, two, three, one, two, three…
The two lovers continued to practice their dance every day. Kino was getting visibly better at it the more they danced around the house; Scarlett changed her approach to something more spontaneous. Music could start playing at any moment and any place, and he would have to earn a reward of his choice. For better or for worse, it worked.
Soon he started to lead more and more, until Scarlett had only a few details to correct that were rather unimportant. They switched waltz pieces to make sure he would follow the steps no matter the music playing. Admittedly, seeing the results of their practice had him in a better mood, and he boosted his knowledge with tutorials on the internet to make sure he’d be the best dancer of them all. Plus, to have his lover indulging him with whatever he asked her to played a big role in that change of attitude.
Nonetheless, the time they spent together learning and dancing put whatever reward he earned in a second place.
Now he wanted to dance everywhere. Not quite to practice, but to show everyone what he could do and how good he was at it. He started choosing when the music began to play, outside, by the window, at the kitchen... Scarlett enjoyed his excitement, not minding his antics most of the time as she eventually learned that it was close to impossible for him to constantly remain proper and well-mannered.
On the afternoon before the event, Scarlett was resting on the couch, rereading the invitation, while Kino looked outside the window at the rainy weather.
The sun was hidden behind the dark clouds as they poured relentlessly on the surroundings. After a while, the redhead joined him by the window, and, for a moment, the rain was all the noise between them, the distant thunders added variety to the otherwise white noise. Scarlett’s head rested on Kino’s shoulder and she half closed her eyes, enjoying his company in peaceful silence. Kino pulled her closer, together they admired the outside world being showered by the sky.
Whenever they found themselves like this, it was a silent agreement to say nothing; no comments, no questions, no pointing out how they simply yearned for the other’s proximity and nothing else.
It was Kino who broke the silence.
“Have you ever danced under the rain?” 
Scarlett opened her eyes slowly, not judging the sudden question, but rather analyzing her answer. 
“I have,” she whispered, “but… alone.” 
The purposeful addition worked like a green light for him, who offered a wide smile before heading out with her.
Cold droplets didn’t take long to soak both dancers; between laughter and shudders from the freezing rain they began their last practice, with only weather and their own voices as the music, much more improvised than technical at all.
In no time it became nothing but an off-beat excuse of a dance, which Scarlett struggled to follow or predict at all, much to Kino’s amusement. He’d make her twirl without any warning, leading every part of that randomized dance, as if it was some sort of payback for when he had to follow instead— but, not quite. Perhaps in the past, that would be something his mind would scheme, and while it was certainly similar, one thing made a big difference: they both were having fun now, together.
Scarlett’s usual need for control and structure got vastly attacked, and it was moments like those where she realized she couldn’t care less. She taught him something useful, and he learned it enough to know how to break its own rules. A win in her book.
In the midst of their little moment, a thunder illuminated the sky before loudly striking, taking both by surprise. Scarlett instinctively looked up, as if she was angry at the sky for ruining their moment. He simply snickered. 
“Scared?” He asked, in a tone that could have been a whisper, were they in silence. She only sighed after rolling her eyes, “let’s go back inside, it’s almost time.”
“Right…” even after all they did to the awaited event, she almost didn’t want to go anymore. But then again, because of all the did, she couldn’t step back, “can I have one last thing from you?”
He attracted her body to his, reading her mind, “Oh, I don’t know… can you?”
“Please?” Her soaked face pleaded subtly, and he wished he had his phone to capture that expression. The water had smudged most of her makeup, it was both funny and adorable. And a little scary.
👗.
With nothing else to add, he lifted her up in his arms to grant a wish they happened to share quite often. Her hands cupped his face with adoration, and so they both shared a messy kiss under the rain.
A few hours later, Scarlett found herself in front of the mirror, fixing her earrings. They had taken a bath after coming back inside, and she took a lot of time doing her hair right after. Kino has been ready for while now, and his impatience mixed with his anticipation to show off had him restless. 
She was taking too long.
As she gave the final touches to her makeup, Kino made his way into the room, walking over until he has right behind her, both facing the mirror. Scarlett offered a smile when she looked at his reflection, which became a surprised one when he embraced her from behind. Her higher heels made the height difference much smaller, so he had easier access to the crook of her neck to hide his face in.
“What are you doing?” Her soft giggle was hard to hold back, his hair tickled her, “I’m almost done!”
“I’ve waited enough,” using that as all the given warning, he bit down on her neck. The sharp puncture of his fangs triggered a cry from the Ghoul, her body tensing instantly as he held her in place.
“Protocol,” he shrugged, leaving a few kisses on her now reddened skin, “if you get lost they’ll return you to me.” 
“W-what now…!?” She managed to say, controlling her breath the best she could until she was released. He hadn’t drunk too much, but the mark was visible, even after he licked off the overflowing blood from the new wound.
“That is not how it works.”
“And I know you won’t get lost anyway,” he simply continued to display his affection. He smiled in secret when he noticed the makeup brush ended up on the floor; he had successfully gotten her attention only for him. Now he had to keep it, “...you can mark me too. I know you want to.”
Something within Scarlett’s insides moved at that suggestion. Of course she wanted to, but when they were supposed to go out shortly…?
“...are you hesitating? Did you actually catch a cold?” Kino’s hand touched her face, in clear satire. 
“...Please. You know whatever mark I do to you will heal by the time we get there,” she picked up the brush from the floor, putting it aside and picking up her perfume next, “unlike this one.” 
One splash of her citric perfume at each side of her neck, below her ears, and she was finally ready. Kino admired her in silence, but he caught how that expression of hers changed right before his eyes.
“Then make another one,” he suggested, resting both hands on her hips, “and repeat when it happens again. Easy.”
“I’m not trying to make a scandal there…” they both knew how dangerous overfeeding could be. She could easily give a worse reputation to Ghouls than they already had with so little effort.
Besides, she wouldn’t be able to hide her nature as she did in the Human World to begin with, for her eyes and ears would expose her immediately in the Demon World.
Bottom line, if they could hurt her, they would. She could never lower her guard. Despite being aware of how things were different now, it was still a ghost from the past that refused to leave.
Truth be told, some questions and insecurities never left her mind, despite many of her experiences saying otherwise. Demons looking down on her -or him, as her lover– due to her status was certainly possible, hierarchies were all most of them cared about, after all. She could outsmart most people and brush any ill-intentioned comment aside, but little did it matter when they'd poke her confidence wall, easily shattering it to pieces with their clear superiority, because of the tag that her nature carried around.
The redhead Ghoul leaned on her lover, silently asking for comfort.
“You think too much,” he commented as he held her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss her knuckles, “more than any of the airheads attending that party. Focus on me, alright? Let’s just dance.” 
She breathed in, taking his scent, the smell of his blood flowing through those veins under the skin of his neck, presented right in front of her. Thinking too much. He was probably right, she had to think more than feel to get where she was. Maybe she should do it less once in a while…
Scarlett nodded before gripping onto him tightly and plunging her fangs into the soft flesh of his neck. She felt his body tensing, letting out grunts between gasps for the sudden action of her own mark being mercilessly bestowed upon him. 
🥂.
The night didn’t take long to arrive and send both individuals to the Demon Realm. Scarlett held Kino’s hand tightly, and he hid both their hands inside the large pocket of his coat. He was confident that it would go well, and for once he almost needed to be confident for both of them. He’s got this.
A frilly white shirt showed beneath a long leather coat embracing the frame of the Vampire, with an all-white undone scarf decorating the overview of his attire –while barely hiding a certain bite scar on his neck–, along with a few necklaces and a shiny pair of black trousers. His hair was messy as always, but a good-looking way of messy, adding to the laid-back vibe, to his standards. 
The woman by his side shared a similar choice of colors, always letting her vibrant red hair be the protagonist of all her outfits. A sleeveless dress with a black top and a puffy white skirt with black undertones dressed the Ghoul elegantly in tune with her partner. A pair of long black gloves decorated her arms and a plain black choker surrounded her neck, not big enough to fully cover a bite mark left on her skin. She had her hair collected with not many wild hairs poking out, long hours of fixing that issue made sure of it. Despite her subtle makeup, given that the party was being held within the Demon World, the white of her eyes had tainted themselves obsidian in color, and her ears grew pointy the moment they arrived, showcasing the Ghoul nature she couldn’t possibly hide in that place.
Both arrived at the place hand-in-hand. Scarlett looked up at the building, trying to relax while Kino didn’t slow down the pace of his walk. His eyes shone reflecting the multiple lights of the place, a sight that she could catch whenever he looked back at her if she suddenly slowed down. He was excited, undeniably, and she couldn’t help but sigh with tenderness.
Many known and unknown faces filled the main hall and the subtly decorated stairs, the entire building drowned in crowded noise, random chatter and strident laughter, all the demons gathering seemed to be minding their business with those they happened to know. 
However, Scarlett’s keen eye didn’t fail to catch eyebrows raising, noses wrinkling, side eyes looking into her direction before going back to gossiping with one another. Even if her scent wasn’t as strong as it could be if she kept living at Rotigenberg, it still was a Ghoul’s scent. Dismal, bitter, obvious. 
Maids and butlers walked around serving drinks and snacks to the attendees, and that made everything more painful. Most, if not all, of those servants were Ghouls. To think that if it wasn’t for fate’s wild turn of events, she could still be one of those people... That memory made her heart sink into a void of some unrecognizable feeling.
Her hand squeezed Kino’s, who got himself two glasses of what looked like champagne. He turned to see her, finding an absent-minded girl looking at everything and nothing at the same time.
He flashed both glasses in front of her face to catch her attention, they made a cling sound, “is anyone home?”
The Ghoul blinked, her darkened gaze turned to meet her partner. His expression solemn and calm became her now point of focus, further below was the mark she had made on him, their hands were still intertwined, and he offered a glass to share. 
She accepted it, “I apologize.”
“Why are you apologizing?”
Scarlett shrugged, looking away. That wasn’t like her at all, like she forgot how to be herself under that wave of judgmental stares. She wanted to ignore them and tell them off, but that wouldn’t work. If anything, it’d feed their amusement, making it all the more frustrating to deal with the status gap.
“They look at you because you look better than them,” Kino suddenly added, smelling the content of his glass, “and they look at me because they are jealous.”
She couldn’t help but snort, “how can you be so sure of that?”
Kino shrugged this time, bringing his glass between them, “why wouldn’t they be jealous of us?” Scarlett looked away, struggling to believe it, and also frustrated for not doing so, “everyone is underdressed, of course they are jealous of this Prince and his Princess.”
“Stop that…” she couldn’t hide her flushed reaction, her fangs poking out beneath her lips, “you don’t have to do that.”
“I have to because I’m right. They hate us. Try it!”
“Kino, I think you are projecting.”
“They wish they were me,” he continued, “they wonder how I became this lucky…”
Kino was the one looking away now, at the others, at nothing. Most likely projecting, but he wouldn’t know. Ugly thoughts attacked him as harshly and often as they attacked her, although he did a better job –or so he hoped– pretending otherwise.
Red lipstick left a subtle stain on his cheek when the Ghoul gave him a smooch, “that’s enough. I believe you…”
“Cheers, that would certainly make them jealous...” they proceeded to clink their glasses and take a sip, focusing on each other as if the entire place and its people had disappeared.
They shared a knowing glance, both their glasses brought close, “that’s the spirit. Wait until they see us dance! Cheers?”
🩸.
They planned to head to the ballroom, they had intentions to go, the time was right… but something happened in the middle, they momentarily got sidetracked.
An overstressed Scarlett had enough drinks to get tipsy, and soon she began to chew on her lover’s neck to redo her mark. Kino didn’t do much to stop her, in fact, he encouraged her actions thoroughly, which involved a more private space. 
Inside a room perhaps half as big as the main ballroom, illuminated only by the dim light coming from a few candles carefully distributed on the walls, soft gasps and muffled moans of delight were the only proof that someone was inside.
Scarlett was sitting on Kino’s lap as they both laid on the floor, after a careless pounce of the hungry Ghoul that made them lose balance; her arms surrounded the Vampire while her fangs were now forcefully attached to the flesh of his shoulder, chewing and sucking the life essence hidden within.
Kino wasn’t a pain-lover, but something about being desired like that made it much more endurable, and the intimacy of bloodsucking drove him crazy. With both hands on the cold floor, supporting his body from behind, he tried to remain relaxed and not make it more painful than it needed to be, he let her taste him, eye-closed, knowing well that people were passing by at all times right behind those closed doors. Part of him wanted them to see how desperately someone needed him, while the other wanted to keep the moment for himself only. Alas, the thrill was there, and he wasn’t afraid to let his voice get a little louder to possibly catch some curious ears from the other side.
“Quiet down,” Scarlett’s voice ordered amongst heavy breaths of her own, tasting the deliciously sweet flavor of his blood, “we’re in public…” 
“That’s the best part,” he teased, shifting his vocal expressions closer to her ear, and enjoying the way she shivered from them, “let them know, I don’t care…” 
“I do,” she bluntly replied, “I don’t want anyone to see you like this,” she moved away a little. The blood continued to overflow from the multiple bites on his bare skin in a messy display of violent yearn, red droplets traveled down his collarbones and chest, since she had removed his white shirt to avoid staining it. Like that, covered in his blood and her marks, he looked absolutely delicious in her eyes, and he probably knew it.
“Why not…? I’m such a snack~” his sing-song tone challenged, his head thrown back, as if inviting her to continue.
“Because…” Frustrated, Scarlett held up his chin, and her blood-red lips whispered against his mouth, “this sight is something only for myself to see.”  
Loving the sudden hitch of his breath, the Ghoul grinned and leaned in for another kiss, taking full advantage of the fact that he couldn’t bite her while she was in that form without consequences, not until they got back to the Human World. For now, Kino was left with a kiss of his own blood, and the knot in his stomach caused by her possessive words.
💃🏻.
Not too long after, when no more noise came from the halls, they stepped out of their hiding place in time to notice that the event had already started. Chopin’s Waltz no. 2 echoed from the ballroom, and Scarlett had no time to process any anxiety as Kino held her hand and ran towards their destination and dragging her with him.
“Ready?” He asked once at the entrance, hardly waiting for an answer, although she nodded anyway.
The place was full of couples circling many areas, dancing together in the entire place. Kino was the first to step inside, taking pride in having arrived late, since many eyes were on them now. Scarlett followed suit, ignoring the rest of the audience and only focusing on how Kino wanted to dance at the very center of the room. 
Zigzagging amongst other dancers, it was made evident that he lacked etiquette overall in those events. But it no longer mattered. After finding an empty spot, he left Scarlett’s hand to go for a moment to face her and properly invite her to dance.
“May I have this piece?” One arm behind his back and the other reaching out for her to take her hand, he bent 45 degrees forward when she vividly followed his game, as rushed as it was.
“You may,” Scarlett didn’t hide her amusement, it was the first time she got invited to dance like this, little did it matter how it played out. They positioned themselves as they had practiced, the Ghoul’s hand elegantly laid on the Vampire’s shoulder and the other held his, while his own free hand found its place on her waist. She looked up as if waiting for the exact beat to start, then quickly started marking each beat with her head, mouthing, “lead me?”
Kino’s expression got more serious and determined. He’s got this.
Steady, accelerating, slowing down, following their timeless practice they began to dance and mix with the other dancers while, in their heads, they continued to stand out in the best of ways. They neatly followed the rhythm of the piece, and Scarlett’s happy smile was brighter than the luxurious jewels any other Demon wore. As though music controlled her movements from the inside, it showed how her passion for music brought her utmost joy. 
By the time that piece ended, he made her perform a longer twirl, a non-scheduled move that caught her by surprise once she was found back in his arms. Her fingers grasped the fabric of his sleeves, watching, expecting, until he leaned in for an awaited kiss that lasted until the next piece started. After all, he earned it.
💓.
The two continued for as long as they were allowed to. Scarlett only needed the first notes to figure out the piece they were about to dance to next and quickly mark the tempo. Chopin’s Grande Valse Brillante, Tchaikovsky’s Valse Sentimentale, Shostakovich’s Waltz, no. 2… Kino found it amusing how she’d name them before they even started, like she was a fan of all those classical guys. They had actual musicians playing for the event, something that seemed to fill the redhead with more nostalgia and passion for the dance.
After a few pieces that never seemed long enough, the musicians took a break and the attendees could have a snack or a drink if they wished. 
Kino didn’t move from the center of the room, however. He remained in place for a little longer, hugging Scarlett and swinging side to side despite having no music.
“I was right,” he whispered after a while, “they are jealous. They better be.” 
She simply giggled at the comment, “maybe, but that no longer matters. Did you have fun?”
“I did,” he quickly responded, “...how was it?”
“Excellent,” she left yet another kiss on his cheek, “I have the best dancer with me tonight, I did a wonderful job teaching you~.” 
Kino chuckled, “of course. Aren’t I the best learner ever?” 
“You certainly are,” she assured, hugging his arm when they separated, as Kino’s chest filled with pride for the acknowledgement.
Before saying anything else, a Maid offered them drinks.
Scarlett locked eyes with the Ghoul maid, both pairs of obsidian glances stared into one another, and she felt as though she was looking into a mirror of the past, with a sole difference… 
That Ghoul wanted to say something. She bowed to them after Kino grabbed the drinks, “if I may…” Scarlett’s ears perked up, she made a gesture inviting the maid to keep going, “... to see one of us on the dance floor was... refreshing. I could not take my eyes off you, Young Lady… and Young Master. Excuse my intrusion.”
One more bow, and Scarlett was too shocked to speak. When the Maid turned around, she called her over, “excuse me…!” even though she felt the need to speak, she had no idea what to say now that the Ghoul looked back. She babbled nonsense until one coherent thing came out, “...th… thank you! Keep doing a good job, okay?”
In response, she received a big smile and a nod from the Maid before she continued with her duties.
“Oh~ See? It was good that you’d come with me…,” Kino embraced her from behind, Scarlett continued to stay quiet, “...I don’t think that was jealousy.” 
“...it wasn’t,” she whispered. If anything, it felt as though she had inspired someone by putting herself out there, making everything she’d been through worth it in a second. Kino hugged her tighter, making her squeal, “...i-if you do that I’m going to cry, can you hug me later?”
“... …,” he nibbled at her ear, “you won’t cry.” 
Whatever his intention was, her eyes became watery regardless, but now a sob came out with a big smile on her lips.
“...no, wait!?” Scarlett giggled when Kino started to panic.
“Ha, I warned you.”
Kino looked everywhere, looking for some distraction to stop the waterfall, quick, “ah! Come here, they have peaches.” 
“They do!?” Quite a quick recovery, her gloves gently dried her eyes before they ruined her makeup. Close call, she did not want to cry.
They wandered off to the snack area to take a break from everything that had taken place as of late… and gain some energy before another round of ballroom dance. The night has improved a lot, for both of them.
Kino got approached by others on occasion too, she watched him brag about his outstanding dancing skills while she stuffed her mouth with peach slices. At a terrible timing, he walked over to her.
“Yeah! I came with my beautiful—”
Scarlett covered her peach-filled cheeks as the demons she was introduced to stared in silence. She waved at them, trying to eat faster.
“...girlfriend,” Kino chuckled, then pinched her cheeks, “she likes peaches. Isn’t she cute?”
“Mmmhm!!”
They laughed and teased the two, Scarlett found no malice in that exchange. Or, perhaps, she didn’t care anymore. After eating her peaches, she introduced herself properly, and got more accepted than she expected. She even got to learn that apparently those guys happened to be Kino’s... brothers!?
There was still a lot to be learned...

An Uncanny Resemblance
➢ pairing: Silvio Ricci x MC/Emma [Ikemen Prince]
➢ prompt: Forced to wear an ugly Christmas sweater
➢ word count: 1,950
⚠️ content warnings: minor language and slightly suggestive content towards the end, otherwise it’s just tooth-rotting fluff
This is my first time writing for the Cybird games, but I read the list of prompts for @xxsycamore and @voltage-vixen​’s ‘Tis the Season for Love challenge and it gave me Ideas™ so I hope you don’t mind me joining in! It's super self-indulgent since I'm currently experiencing Silvio brainrot, but thank you both for giving me an excuse to try writing for IkePri and to embarrass him the way he deserves. Happy holidays :)
Tumblr media
Silvio took a long look at the sweater laid out in front of him, feeling his nose involuntarily crinkle up in disdain.
Christmas was as lavish a celebration as any other in Benitoite, so every year the prince was used to receiving gifts of the highest—and most expensive—quality from nobles and foreign merchants looking to gain favor with the royal family. He had admired some gifts before, sure, but he couldn’t remember ever being so astonished by one. Nothing had ever left him as speechless as this… nauseatingly colorful heap of wool.
The very thought sent another wave of frustration through him.
Damn it, why should this be the thing that finally gets to him? And what sentimental value could that woman possibly find in it?
He could still see the look on Emma’s face when she came up to him in his study, the way her eyes were sparkling with anticipation as she presented him with the sweater. She’d admitted herself that it was ugly, but according to her, that was supposed to be the charm of it. Apparently it was a tradition in her country to cozy up during the holidays with an ugly festive sweater. So much for Rhodolite being the land of refinery, he’d thought dryly, but held his tongue.
Or, at least, he meant to hold his tongue, but then she said something about how it reminded her of him and he just couldn’t withhold his indignation at that. The moment he snapped at her, however, he regretted it immediately, watching her face fall.
But why would she be so hurt that he was insulted, anyway? She wasn’t expecting him to be flattered, was she?
He knew perfectly well that Emma saw the world differently than he did, and on some level he’d already accepted that he might never understand her completely, but that didn’t mean he would give up trying. It made him deeply uncomfortable to watch her and that damn dog giggling together over the sweater without being able to understand what they were going on about (that damn dog, who was all too quick to agree that oh yes, it looks just like him, though whether he was trying more to appease Emma or insult Silvio was anyone’s guess). As he scrutinized the sweater now, he searched for anything they could possibly see that he couldn’t.
Roughly knitted into the center was a little humanlike blob in a red suit, sitting on something green. It appeared to be Santa in his sleigh, which was being pulled by what was definitely not a reindeer, although he couldn’t quite tell what it was supposed to be. A dog, maybe? It had four legs, at least… and it was white with black spots... and if that part there was meant to be its face, then it looked somehow smug and self-satisfied, with a lopsided half-smirk.
It didn’t look like him at all. Emma was just crazy, and the design made no sense, and it was a sorry excuse for proper craftsmanship. He’d have to go find whatever merchant she bought it from and get her money back.
But still... he couldn’t stand knowing that he’d made her upset.
Emma looked so dejected when he refused to take the sweater from her, pushing it away when she held it out to him. He’d insisted that she take the sweater and the damn dog and leave him alone, because he was busy and he had no time to waste on something so childish. If only he’d known that this was actually important to her, maybe he would’ve been more careful about what he said. The truth is, he wasn’t offended, he was just confused and embarrassed to be given such a gift in front of the dog. He never actually meant to hurt her feelings. 
In fact, he had no idea how much he did hurt her feelings until the dog came knocking on his door later, shoving the sweater back into his arms and angrily demanding that he go apologize to his mistress.
Apologizing was never Silvio’s style. But, well… maybe there was something else he could do to make it up to her.
He gingerly picked up the sweater, holding it at arm’s length like he expected to catch a disease from it. To his dismay, as he stood there with it awkwardly, he could feel his cheeks starting to burn in that telltale way. He had to ask himself again, why was this such a big deal? He was someone who had survived the roughest journeys at sea imaginable. He’d been everywhere and seen everything, and his presence alone was enough to command a room, no matter where he was. If he could do all that, then he could at least put on a stupid sweater.
Before he could change his mind, Silvio cussed under his breath and tossed his shirt to the side. Yanking the sweater over his head, he tried to ignore his discomfort at its scratchiness as he pulled it down to cover his body. He smoothed down his hair, which had been ruffled up in the process, and adjusted the sweater a little bit, finding it itchy and roomy and—oh, well, actually... it was warm enough, at least. He tugged at the sleeves, rubbing the fabric through his fingers to test the quality.
Well... it wasn’t terrible. That much he could admit.
But when he turned towards his mirror, any semblance of appreciation he might’ve felt vanished immediately at the sight of his reflection—himself swimming in a frumpy, oversized sweater, the long sleeves dangling down past his hands. His hair was frizzy, standing up in all directions from the static. His face was still red, and the more he looked, the more it deepened until it seemed to match the exact shade of the sweater itself.
If he didn’t know better, he’d even say that the doglike creature in the middle was looking at him with that smug smirk.
Hell no. Screw this.
Silvio tore his eyes away from his reflection and began fumbling around, clumsily trying to pull his arms out of the sleeves so he could get this thing off him already. Emma would just have to get over it on her own, because no way was he going to let her see him like this.
But then, at the worst possible moment—
“Silvio?” A knock on the door. “Are you here?”
—karma struck, and the prince was frozen in the middle of trying to remove the sweater when the door opened and Emma poked her head inside the room.
“I just wanted to...”
Whatever she was about to say, she trailed off abruptly when she caught sight of him, her eyes widening. For a second, they only stared at each other in shocked silence. Silvio was the first to snap out of it.
“You’re supposed to wait for an answer before you come in, woman.” His voice came out too flustered for his liking. Suddenly remembering how red his face was, he spun around to turn his back to her, muttering a stream of profanities as he continued to wrestle with the sweater. “Damn it... Are you just gonna stand there or what? Close the door!”
He heard the door shut quickly, and for a second he was relieved that she was merciful enough to make sure no one else saw this. But then she began to do the only thing that could make this even more humiliating.
“Hey—don’t laugh at me!”
She was obviously trying to hold in her string of giggles, but somehow that made it even worse. Giving up trying to rip off the sweater, he turned back to face her with an exasperated sigh, the empty sleeves swinging around in the process.
“I’m serious!”
But oh, the sight of Emma smiling sweetly, eyes glimmering with delight as she tried to cover her laughter with her hand. Seeing her like that, he could almost forget about his embarrassment for a moment. But then she was crossing the room over to him, and his guard was back up again.
“Sorry,” she managed, though she didn’t sound sorry at all as she continued to giggle. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing. And you didn’t see anything, either, got it?”
“Well, I did see something.”
“You—hey—”
“I saw my fiancé trying to make me smile, right?” Once she was close enough, she leaned up and pressed a kiss to his bright red cheek, and Silvio was stunned into silence by the adoring look on her face when she pulled back. “Or were you just trying on the sweater because you love it that much?”
He glared at her, but she only smiled back at him softly, understanding his silence as enough of an answer. “Silvio... thank you.”
“...You’re a weird woman. This kind of thing impresses you, seriously?”
“You did it anyway.”
“Yeah, I did. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to wear this thing in front of anyone else, you hear me?” Silvio pointed his finger at her for emphasis, forgetting that his arms were still inside the sweater, so the action was hardly noticeable. “And you better not tell that damn dog, either.”
Emma smiled, shaking her head. “All right. But Rio will probably come looking for me soon, so you should hurry and take it off if you don’t want him to see.”
“Then help me out already, will you? This thing’s like a wool prison.”
Emma reached up and helped him tug the collar of the sweater over his head, the rest of it quickly following suit with her guidance. She didn’t realize until too late that he wasn’t wearing anything underneath and flushed when she suddenly found herself face-to-face with a shirtless Silvio, who tossed the sweater onto the bed with a sigh. The moment he glanced back at her, saw her expression, and realized what was happening, though—
“Hm. Not laughing anymore, huh?”
The smirk that graced his features was undeniably gorgeous, and Emma had to admit that she was glad to see his confidence restored, as endearing as it was when he was flustered. She didn’t even have time to be amazed at how quickly their roles had flipped before Silvio’s hand was around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
When his lips landed on hers, their kiss was full of its usual heat, but this time there was something else, too—gratitude. On Emma’s part, because Silvio had swallowed his pride to take part in a tradition from her homeland and cheer her up. And on Silvio’s part, because Emma was the only woman in the world who could catch him looking so foolish and love him even more because of it. Besides, she was the only woman in the world he would risk looking so foolish for, anyway.
“Ah, wait, Silvio—” Emma broke the kiss not without reluctance, her face now as red as his as she looked away embarrassedly. “Really, Rio will be here any second. You need to get dressed.”
“Fine. Hand me that shirt over there.” Silvio’s smirk only stretched across his face, pleased that he was able to get such a reaction out of her so easily. “We’ll continue this later.”
He chuckled at the way her blush deepened at that last remark. As Emma scrambled to grab the shirt, trying to hide her flustered face from him, he turned slightly to cast one more glance at the sweater lying in a heap on his bed, still oblivious to any resemblance he shared with it but inexplicably satisfied when his eyes landed on that little knit dog.
That’s right. Who’s smirking at who now, fido?
