𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, Shu Speaking

Original work by rumalumasuns, 5,175 words (it's long sorry haha), unedited but I will do so when I have time later :)

Once upon a time,...

There was a handsome, young prince by the name of Shu Yamino de Luxiem of the Kingdom of Ninisani. Shu was a peculiar prince. He wasn't like his oldest brother Vox, the Crown Prince, his older brother Ike, an infamous novelist, his younger brother Mysta, an acute detective, or his youngest brother Luca, the Captain of the Imperial Guard. Instead, he was a sorcerer - one with a high aptitude for performing curses.

Although his art was looked down upon by those around him, as curses were seen as taboo, his brothers didn't mind, and even supported him! Shu was a prince, and he could (within reason) do what he desired. His art wasn't useless either: with the help of his curses, many monster and demon subjugations went smoothly.

So, what went wrong?

As stated, Shu was a peculiar prince. It wasn't just because of his curses. Rather, he was interested in many peculiar things, including tales of sky dragons and fairies and mermaids, as well as unusual trinkets. While strolling through the woods, Shu stumbled upon something glowing within the bushes. His curiosity peaked, and he absolutely HAD to see what the glowing substance was, possibly bring it home for research.

Once Shu parted the bushes, he came upon a glorious, glowing piece of...excrement. AKA poop.

"Huh? Why is this poop glowing?" thought Shu, as he began to, without thinking, reach for the poop. Before he could get his hands on it, however, he was stopped by a screech.

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU DARE LAY YOUR HANDS ON MY PRECIOUS EXCREMENTOUS SUBSTANCIOUS???"

Shu whipped around in panic, even though he didn't even touch the poop. Behind him was an infuriated gremlin. It stomped its feet and roared in rage, waving its magic staff around. At this point, Shu was confused by such actions.

"But...but it's just glowing poop?"

"NO! IT IS MY PRECIOUS! FOR YOUR CRIME, YOU WILL PAY!"

The gremlin roared and hastily waved its staff around, chanting.

"WITH MY CURSE, ONE NEEDS TO FIND SOME-ONE WHO SEES BEAU-TY, IN EVE-RY-THING EV-EN IF IT'S THE WORST YOU'VE EV-ER SEEN! BUT WHO ON EARTH WOULD LOVE A BEAST AS HID-E-OUS AS HE? NO ONE, THAT'S WHO! AND SO THE NAR-RA-TIVE CEAS-ES TO BE!"

"Wait!"

But before Shu could stop him, the gremlin cursed the prince. A glow surrounded Shu, and all he could hear was the gremlin faintly cackling as his vision filled with white.

When his vision cleared, Shu found himself on a grassy cliff covered by a forest of tall oak trees that overlooked a small town. In a daze, Shu vaguely noted his location as he scanned a sign that was posted in front of the small town's entrance, showing "Petit Mura of the Kingdom of Ninisani".

".......What just happened??"

Shu gasped, then grasped for his throat, thinking it was weird that his voice came out in a much more low and gruff tone, only to retract his hand quickly after feeling not flesh on his neck, but fur. His eyes widened once he caught sight of his hand- er, paw. A paw with black fur. He then looked down at his clothes, now wrapping around his black fur-covered body. His shoes were gone, replaced with large black paws with sharp silver claws. Shu quickly looked around for anything reflective near his location and found a lake a couple meters behind him. Shu hurriedly ran to it to look at his reflection, and his eyes widened. His face now had a fuzzy snout and thick, pointy ears. The only things that could show that he was Prince Shu were his violet eyes and a small ahoge that was reminiscent of his yellow hair back in his human form.

"I'm...a panther beast? Well, cool, but I have to go back home. My brothers are probably waiting."

So, Shu tried to undo his curse and go on his way, thinking that it would be easy since he specialized in curses. However, he discovered that he couldn't undo it. In fact, he couldn't do curse magic at all, besides summoning a couple shikigamis, which he lovingly called his Yaminions. Perplexed, but getting his priorities straight, he sent one Yaminion to the castle to let his brothers know that he was okay.

Shu then tried to think about what he should do next, but before he could reflect on his situation any further, his train of thought was halted by a small voice singing, coming from the town behind him. Curiosity, as always, got the better of Shu as he crept through the trees until he got to the edge of the cliff and peeped over, not wanting any locals to spot him and chase him away in horror.

"𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞…𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞."Shu observed the person singing as they sang about how they are stuck in a town with life that was too repetitive. They held a book in their hand titled Sorcery Through the Ages.

"They seem kind and knowledgeable...Maybe they're understanding enough to give me some help and shelter until I can figure all of this out..."

Shu’s main objective was to look at the townspeople and find potential people who could help him, including the person with the book. He continued to watch as the person went through the little town, as others (for some strange reason Shu couldn't fathom) began to join in singing. The song by the townspeople was filled with insults and praises alike: how weird the person was for reading such strange books, and how beautiful this person was despite their flaws - in short, the townspeople talked about how the person was nothing like the rest of those in the town. He also learned the person's name through the song: Beau/Belle (Beau or Belle depending on what y'all prefer).

Shu saw how they sighed at the townspeople who doubted them, and how they had to shoo two people - possible suitors of Belle/Beau - away before they went into their home.

After looking over the town for a little longer, Shu decided he needed to find or make a temporary shelter for the evening. He went to one of the nearby oak trees before asking his four Yaminions to help him build a treehouse (really just a wooden tent on a sturdy branch), climbing the tree easily with his new body, and eventually resting in his shelter.

His eyes drooped promptly after settling down, as he reflected on the day's events.

"... What a day...," said Shu, before his eyes closed, and slumber came to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shu was abruptly awoken in the dark by one of his Yaminions, who was frantically indicating to the ground. His ears perked up upon hearing rustles and cracks coming from below. Cautiously, Shu craned his neck out of his shelter to direct his vision downwards, where he saw an old man harvesting what appeared to be faintly golden-glowing acorns. Shu watched as the old man hemmed and grumbled about how peculiar his child was to always want these for their birthday.

Resolving to find a proper shelter, Shu slowly and silently shimmeyed (lol try saying that 5 times fast) down the tree. When he was a couple feet behind the old man, he carefully cleared his throat. The old man whipped his head behind in a panic, wondering who on Ninisani would be awake at this hour besides him. He didn't see anything besides the slight glimmer of Shu's amethyst, beastly eyes.

After Shu noted that the old man saw him, he opened his mouth.

"... Please don't scream. I would only like some assistance from you if that is alright?"

The old man pondered a moment before nodding his head.

"Come into the light, please," said the old man. Slowly, Shu emerged from his place in the dark to the dimly lit area that the old man with his faintly glowing acorns was in.

The old man’s eyes widened as he let out an audible gasp. Shu’s full panther beast form was shown to him, something he’d only heard about through the stories that his child read to him while he was working with the acorns. Unable to overcome his shock, the old man fainted.

Shu rushed to the side of the man.

“Oh no, oh no, please wake up!! I just wanted... to ask... for... help..."

Shu tapped the side of the old man’s face and shook his shoulders slightly, before sighing and looking around for a safe place to put the old man (as Shu did not know where the old man lived).

Eventually, Shu decided to bring the old man back to his makeshift shelter, and with the help of his Yaminions, he leaped up to the treehouse, carrying the old man on his back.

After securing the old man in place so that he won't fall even if he woke up in a panic, Shu sighed deeply, hoping that tomorrow morning he could have an actual conversation with the man. He assigned one of his Yaminions to keep watch before he fell into slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫? 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮!… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐬… 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬… 𝐎𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞!"

Shu's ears perked up upon hearing the sound of a person venturing through the woods. Lazily, one of his eyes opened, as Shu noted that it was now late morning. Beside him was the unconscious old man, whom Shu believed was the father that the person below was looking for.

To see who the person was, Shu looked out from his shelter, only to have his eyes widen in surprise as he saw the Belle/Beau from the day before now in the woods.

'They must be this old man's child...'

Shu then thought of a plan. Although he never wanted to bargain using someone's life, in this case, he had to if he wanted to gain even a slim possibility of the help that Belle/Beau could offer. So, he called out to them from the treehouse.

"You there! I have your father. I have kept him safe in the woods after I found him passed out. However, I will not release him yet."

Belle/Beau looked around for the source of the voice before spotting a faint outline of Shu's rickety treehouse near the top of one of the oak trees.

"𝐔𝐡𝐦… 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐞𝐭? 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭? 𝐈 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦, 𝐧𝐨𝐰!"

"I'm afraid I cannot do that, unless you promise me something."

"…𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥, 𝐬𝐢𝐫, 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫."

"That... well... I need some help and shelter. You see, I was cursed-"

"𝐇𝐦𝐦? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞?"

"I said I was cursed- darn it, why can't I say it??"

"…𝐒𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤, 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤."

"Th-There's no need for that! I... I'll come down. But first, may I ask if you have ever encountered mythical creatures before? Such as beastmen?"

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐝𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧- 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬… 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬𝐤, 𝐬𝐢𝐫?" asked Y/N in a suspicious voice.

"... Well, you're about to meet one, so..."

Y/N's face pulled into one of surprise before they quickly composed themself.

"𝐀𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭."

Y/N stared at the tree leaves, getting ready to use the book in their hand to defend themself, and waited. Eventually, they heard the rustle of the leaves and something heavy made its way down.

First, Y/N saw a black, long tail. Then, they saw pants and a coat. Eventually, all of Shu was shown as he made his descent from the top of the tree, and Y/N saw it all: a panther beastman with amethyst-colored eyes and their father on his back.

"𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫!" exclaimed Y/N as they rushed to his side, shaking him awake. Eventually, the old man awoke, dazed and confused as to why his child was shaking him so hard. Then, he looked around and slowly began to recall the events of the night before. Quickly, he stood up and shielded Y/N away from the beastman.

"What have you done to me?"

"Uh, I haven't done anything. I brought you back to my temporary shelter because you fainted after you saw me..."

"... Oh. Well, what do you want with us?"

"I only would like a place to stay for a couple of months. You see, I have a situation that requires me to find a shelter..."

"What situation?"

"I... I can't say. B-But! I will prove to you that I have no bad intentions. I'll cook and help you with things if you need it: I only ask that you provide me a place to stay for a couple of months. Afterwards, I will reward you greatly."

"Pfft- reward? What could you possibly offer us?" asked the old man with a scoff.

"𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞?" asked Y/N, with a glimmer of hope in their eyes as they clutched their book harder with their hands.

"Uhm, I don't know of other beast people than me, but I can provide you help with my curses, and my Yaminions."

"𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬?"

Shu then summoned four shikigamis, each swirling around him before tentatively going towards Y/N, who looked upon them with wonder. Noticing their child's excitement, the old man considered taking the beastman in.

"...Alright, we'll let you stay with us. But, if there is any funny business, just know that we will not hesitate to defend ourselves," said the old man, who moved his hand towards a gun that was resting on his hip. Shu nodded in understanding.

"I promise, no funny business."

After a moment of silence, the old man sighed before he motioned Shu to follow him. Shu, the old man, and Y/N went on a path that was covered, likely to prevent Shu from being seen by the townspeople, who would definitely try to chase him out of the town, or even kill him.

While walking, Shu ended up side by side with Y/N, who then turned to him and introduced themself.

"𝐈'𝐦 𝐘/𝐍 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞/𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 𝐋/𝐍. 𝐀 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞/𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐦𝐞. 𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦."

"...I'll call you Y/N if that's alright?"

Y/N's eyes brightened before they nodded and smiled.

"𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞?"

"...I'm Shu. Shu...Kurano."

"𝐖𝐨𝐰, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦."

"Haha... do I?"

"𝐘𝐞𝐩! 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜! 𝐈𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠!"

Shu watched as the person continued to praise him (unknowingly), feeling slightly warm inside. No one had liked his practice in curse magic, much less find it interesting. Everyone else besides his brothers feared or disliked it, even his own servants. But, not this person.

'This is nice,' thought Shu, as he continued to converse more with Y/N. Through their conversation, he found out about how Y/N moved to this town when they were little, and grew up being told how unusual or strange they were for being interested in peculiar things.

"Me too, I'm like that also. Growing up, the people around me thought I was weird, haha."

"𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥, 𝐈 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧!" laughed Y/N.

Y/N then talked about how they recently were constantly bothered by these siblings who were infamous in town, Gastro and Gastria LeGuem, who tried to court them and show off to them.

"𝐈'𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 '𝐍𝐎'! 𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭? 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝?"

"Not at all, they sound like tough people to deal with."

"𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞."

Little did Y/N know, Gastro and Gastria were obsessed with Y/N. They both knew Y/N's habits, their favorite foods, and their three sizes - and they wanted to know more. They wanted to make Y/N theirs (to share, they weren't sure yet but they figured they could battle it out). So when Gastro and Gastria detected a new presence entering the L/N household, they became on edge.

Just after Y/N helped Shu settle in, they heard a frantic knock on the house's front door. Y/N peeked out from the little window in Shu's room, only to groan when they saw Gastro and Gastria outside.

"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚��𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐭? 𝐈'𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦."

"Why are you looking for your soulmate?"

Y/N turned from the window to look at Shu.

"…𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥, 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬.

"That... sounds so amazing! I've never heard of something like that."

"𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮."

The two smiled at each other for a moment, until loud banging came again from the front door. Y/N groaned again, muttering curses under their breath.

"𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐢, 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭. 𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦."

"Alright, good luck!" Shu gave Y/N a thumbs-up as they left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~downstairs~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭?" said Y/N in a slightly harsh and frustrated tone.

"MY LOVE! I am so happy you could grace us with your presence," said Gastro, who bowed deeply and tried to reach for Y/N's hand to give them a kiss on it, before he was pulled away by his sister.

"YES, MY LOVE! We came to make sure that everything was okay in this household. Is there someone who came to visit? Your house smells... different. Musky. I do not like it."

Y/N sighed.

"𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲, 𝐧𝐨, 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭."

"I SEE! Well, Gastria, I guess it is alright then. Will you, Y/N, let us into your house for a moment? I would like to give my greetings to my future father-in-law," said Gastro, as he began to force his way into the house.

"𝐍𝐨! 𝐆𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮!" and with that Y/N slapped Gastro out of the doorway. "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞!"

The door slammed in Gastro and Gastria's faces.

"...Brother, something is not right. Y/N clearly lied to us just now."

"I know, sister. It is obvious that Y/N loves us."

"Well, there's that, but I clearly sense another presence in there. It is not our future father-in-law, but it is definitely male."

"*Gasp* No! Well, we just have to kill him off, don't we sister?"

Gastria grinned maliciously.

"Yes brother, we do. Let us go get our guns ready."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple months passed, and Y/N thought that these might be some of the best months of their life. During that time, Y/N and Shu got to know more of each other, and Y/N did not see the LeGuem siblings at all. They were satisfied, thinking that they finally got rid of the siblings once and for all.

Y/N and Shu read books together, discussing the content, and Shu talked about his adventures and encounters with peculiarities. There were the occasional admiration speeches from Y/N whenever the topic of curse magic was brought up, as it related to Prince Shu.

"You know, you're really an odd one Y/N. N-Not in a bad way or anything, but in a good way! It's just, don't you think curse magic is scary or weird?"

"𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝? 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐝. 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰?"

Shu's chest felt warm. Lately, he kept getting these warm feelings whenever Y/N expressed their interest and acceptance of Prince Shu and his curse magic (well, because it's about him, obviously). He had a feeling he knew what this warmth meant, but he decided to push it to the back of his head for now.

"Alright you two, come and eat some breakfast," said the old man. The old man had been observing the interactions between his child and Shu, and while he was at first afraid that Shu would do something, he found Shu to be quite helpful and kind. Much better than anyone else in the town (besides their town's librarian, who always had books to share with Y/N). If only Shu wasn't a beastman...

His train of thought was interrupted by someone bursting through their door. Shu whipped his head up, only to make eye contact with the LeGuem siblings.

"AHHHHH Y/N MY LOVE! YOU ARE IN DANGER! I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE INVESTIGATED SOONER!" exclaimed Gastro, looking at Shu in rage and in disgust as he started to raise his gun.

"Y/N, SWEETIE, LEAVE HIM TO US. GO HIDE WITH FATHER-IN-LAW!" said Gastria in a shrill voice, as she grinned and cocked her gun to Shu's chest area.

"𝐍𝐨!" exclaimed Y/N, as they pulled Shu to the side just as the first shot was fired. They took Shu's paw and urged him up the stairs, as the old man threw some plates at Gastro and Gastria to distract them.

Once Y/N and Shu got in his room, Y/N brought out a bag of emergency supplies for Shu.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞! 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞-"

"But what about you!" asked Shu, as his paws enveloped the hand he was holding.

"𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞! 𝐆𝐨!" said Y/N, as they opened up one of the back windows and pushed Shu out. Shu landed on his feet paws before he turned to look back at the window. He saw Y/N motioning frantically to the road they took when they first brought him to their home. Although Shu didn't want to, he eventually sprinted down the road, not looking back. His speed as a beastman allowed him to quickly get back to the area he was in before: the forest on a cliff overlooking the town.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple days passed, where Shu was lazily living a solitary life in his treehouse, worrying about Y/N, when one of his Yaminions, which he sent to watch over Y/N, frantically floated to him.

It made motions on his paw, crumpling up like origami and animating with its paper form who he assumed to be Y/N getting brought to a stake a burning.

He sat up with a start.

"They're going to burn Y/N at the stake?? But I thought Gastra and Gustrio or whatever loved them?? What happened? What about their father??"

The Yaminion crumpled up into a different scene and showed Gastro and Gastria beating up the old man, who kept trying to protect Y/N from them before Gastria raised her gun and shot him in the head. Y/N fell to the floor, shouting curses at the siblings, before clutching their father to their chest. The siblings left Y/N with their dying father in some room, and locked them up, as Y/N continued to cradle their father as he slowly died. He said something to Y/N, then went limp. Y/N sobbed silently over their father's corpse. The Yaminion then went back to its original shape.

"...So, just because they refused to like the siblings back, the siblings killed their father and now are going to kill them? WHAT?" Shu stood up, enraged, and resolved to help Y/N, even if it meant getting killed. Y/N was one of the only ones who believed in and accepted him, even as a beastman and Shu was willing to finally acknowledge what he felt for them: love.

He jumped down the tree, his Yaminions floating after him, as they rushed towards the town. Dusk was approaching, meaning Shu did not have much time left to save Y/N.

When he got to the entrance of the town, Shu sent his Yaminions to find where Y/N was placed for preparing for the "burning ceremony". Lately, Shu had found that he could perform a little bit of some other magic as long as he used their elementary spells (level 1 and 2 spells). So, he used his level 2 spell of cloaking with the shadows to be able to sneak around town and find the siblings who were causing all this trouble. If possible, he wanted to deal with them before they could harm anyone else. People in the town were milling about, lingering around the stake that Y/N was going to be burned at.

"I heard that they were a witch who enticed a magic beast to come into town for a while before the LeGuem siblings caught on and saved us!"

"Oh, bless those siblings! They are always such a help when it comes to the big hunts."

"Yes. They're also so charming! It's about time that Y/N got their retribution for rejecting such amazing people so often."

Shu scoffed internally at the gossip from the people he passed by.

'The siblings aren't charming, they're crazy!' thought Shu. 'You can have them, just leave Y/N alone!'

After a couple minutes of searching, Shu found the LeGuem siblings in a pub, as the people within sang praises of them for protecting them from the "witch" Y/N and for being so good-looking and strong.

Shu waited for the siblings to come out, before he revealed himself, much to the horror of the townspeople.

"IT'S THE WITCH'S COMPANION!"

"SAVE US, GASTRO! SAVE US GASTRIA!"

The siblings smirked at the desperate cries of the siblings before they pulled out their guns and started shooting at Shu. Shu called upon his level 1 wind magic spell "Deflect" and was able to make the bullets go around him and stop their motion. Gastria became uneased, as she never had to deal with an opponent who used magic, while Gastro growled in frustration, disliking Shu's move. He began to recklessly shoot at Shu, and the bullets began to go toward the townspeople. In a panic, the townspeople scattered away to their houses, screaming.

Shu didn't pay any mind to the screams as he started to make attacks of his own, summoning level 2 fire spells to burn the clothes and hair of Gastro and Gastria, leaving Gastria bald and Gastro's shirt in smoldering tatters. The siblings yelped as they continued to reload and shoot at Shu, though their attempts were futile. Shu would've won if it weren't for the fact that Gastro and Gastria directed their attention to someone behind him.

Gastria and Gastro cackled in madness, before shooting at Y/N, who had a yellow outfit adorned with gold, probably for the burning ceremony.

"NO!" Shu sent a gust of wind to direct the bullets away from Y/N, who held their father's gun in one hand and a shield in the other. They would've been fine even if Shu didn't do anything, but Shu didn't care. His priority was to protect them.

And he did, at the expense of his own protection. Laughing harshly, Gastria pointed her gun at Shu.

"For Y/N's love!" she exclaimed before firing her remaining two bullets into Shu's chest.

"For our love!" exclaimed her brother, who followed suit and gave Shu bullet wounds in the leg and arms.

"𝐍𝐨!" cried Y/N, as they aimed their gun and shot at Gastria and Gastro's hands. As they practiced with this gun a lot with their father, all of Y/N's shots met their mark, leaving Gastro and Gastria to scream in pain and leaving their hands immobile. Their guns left their hands and flew to the ground near Y/N, who then crushed them using the shield in their hand.

Shu's Yaminions flew from behind the shield (as they were there reinforcing the shield in case any bullets came for Y/N). They hit the back of the necks of the LeGuem siblings, knocking them unconscious, before quickly going to Shu.

Y/N followed them and ran to Shu's side. They gasped at the multiple bleeding wounds he had, and his Yaminions, who once frantically floated around Shu to try and save him, were now drifting to Shu's side and fading away.

In a frenzy, Y/N ripped off a part of their sleeve and applied pressure to the wound bleeding the most, gasping as tears formed in their eyes.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲- 𝐨𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐢𝐭'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝-"

"Y/N..."

Y/N looked over at Shu in shock, tears streaming down their face as they continued to try and staunch the bleeding.

"… 𝐘𝐞𝐬, 𝐒𝐡𝐮?" replied Y/N shakily as they continued to apply pressure.

"... I love you."

"𝐒𝐡𝐮, 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲, 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰!-"

"Y/N... I'm afraid I'm running out of time."

Shu chuckled weakly, his smile strained and pained, and he looked upon Y/N and placed a hand on their cheek, slowly wiping away a tear.

"I love you."

Those were Shu's last words before he closed his eyes.

Y/N sobbed, as they desperately clutched onto Shu's hand, and looked at Shu, his clothes now soaked with blood.

"𝐌𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨… 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨, 𝐬𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐬𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞. 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒, 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄!"

Y/N's tears fell onto Shu's face as they looked upon him, before letting out a quiet sob as he remained unresponsive.

Then, they remembered something, and hurriedly took off their pendant made out of the wood of the glowing acorns and placed it over Shu's heart. Y/N then started chanting.

"𝐌𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐈 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐞. 𝐁𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞! 𝐒𝐨, 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞, 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐌𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞!"

Their pendant glowed and Y/N saw the bullet marks in Shu heal as the bullets popped out from his body.

It was silent after the pendant stopped glowing. Y/N held their breath, eyes trained on Shu's chest for any breathing movement.

After a couple moments of dead silence, Y/N was about to lose hope before Shu gasped suddenly and sat up. He pawed at the places where he was shot, only to find that he was completely healed.

He turned to look at Y/N, who had tears streaming down their face before they hugged Shu fiercely, muttering "𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐓𝐚𝐳𝐮𝐦𝐢-𝐬𝐚𝐧" and "𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲!"

"You... you saved me? With your acorn pendant? But, you were supposed to use that for your soulmate..."

"𝐒𝐡𝐮, 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞."

Shu looked at Y/N with shock and disbelief.

"Are you sure? I thought you wouldn't like me since I’m this way and all..."

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐒𝐡𝐮…"

Y/N shook their head before gently holding Shu's paw.

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝, 𝐧𝐨, 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐈 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮."

Shu felt his heart stutter before he brought the hand that was holding his paw to his chest, bringing Y/N closer to him. The two seemed to have the same desire, as slowly they began to get closer and closer. Y/N placed a hand on Shu's face, making him lower himself until the top of his snout was now below their lips.

A moment full of tension passed, before Y/N put their lips on the top of Shu's snout, giving him a gentle kiss.

Shu felt his face grow hot, as his tail started moving around in happiness and wrapped around one of Y/N's legs.

Y/N pulled away, a satisfied grin on their face before it turned into one of shock as Shu's body suddenly started to glow a blinding white. In a panic, thinking that the acorns didn't do their job and now Shu was going to go away from them, Y/N reached out for him with one arm, while the other arm covered their eyes.

"𝐒𝐇𝐔!"

But just as quickly as it started, the glow ended as well, leaving not Shu the panther beast, but Shu the human sorcerer prince.

"…𝐒𝐡𝐮?"

Shu's eyes were closed, as the light blinded him as well, before he slowly opened them.

"...Yea?..."

"𝐘𝐨𝐮… 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧?? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝? 𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭, 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥?"

"Uh, huh?" Shu looked down at himself. His shirt was loose and in tatters, though all his articles of clothing were able to shrink back along with him. In place of his paws were his pale hands, and he was barefoot.

"I, I'm back! I turned back into a human!" exclaimed Shu, before looking at Y/N who was confused.

"I was cursed, but I couldn't say this to you at all. But now, I'm back so... I-Is it weird?...," asked Shu shyly, as the silence afterward stretched longer and became slightly awkward.

Slowly, Y/N walked to Shu, before hugging him.

"𝐈, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐮. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐝," said Y/N in gentle joy, as they gripped onto Shu tighter with their arms.

Shu, still in slight disbelief over his sudden transformation back into a human, hugged them back tightly. He lightly started sobbing.

“Thank you…thank you for loving me.”

Y/N grinned.

“𝐎𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐧𝐨𝐭, 𝐡𝐚𝐡𝐚.”

After they broke apart from the hug, Y/N looked at the side of Shu’s face as he held onto their waist, pulling them into his side. Shu looked in the distance, towards the direction of the castle where he had to go next. Y/N smiled at him in understanding before looking at the same space.

Together, they reveled in the peace that they earned.

Then, Y/N broke the silence.

“𝐁𝐮𝐭…𝐒𝐡𝐮…𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐞…𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝.”

Shu froze before turning to look back at Y/N, horrified but laughing at the same time.

“NOOOOOO- I mean I love you, but NOOOOOO-”

Their conversation continued filled with giggles, happiness, and love.

And they lived happily ever after~

The End.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Epilogue:

“SHU!!!! YOU’RE BACK!” shouted Shu’s brother, Mysta, who was sobbing loudly, face flushed and with tear stains down his cheeks as he ran to Shu.

“SHUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!” exclaimed Shu’s other brother, Luca, who ran excitedly to Shu, passing Mysta, and gave him a big bear hug, not noticing that Shu was holding someone’s hand.

Ike was descending the stairs of the palace entrance in a much more calm manner, although his excitement and relief were shown through his fast walking strides towards Shu and his face showing a wide smile.

Vox was right behind Ike, laughing in relief at the sight of Shu, while also noting the presence of the person standing behind him with mild interest.

While Shu was staying in Y/N’s town, he had been regularly corresponding with Vox through his Yaminions, so Vox had a feeling that this person was this Y/N Belle/Beau L/N who was mentioned in Shu’s letters. Vox was happy that they were both safe, especially after the LeGuem incident. The LeGuem family happened to be a small barony that supported the town that Y/N was in. They were now stripped of their title, with the LeGuem siblings being put in the imperial prison on the outskirts of Ninisani.

He watched in amusement as Ike managed to pull Luca and Mysta off of Shu before asking the person next to their brother to introduce themselves. The person proudly introduced themself as:

“𝐘/𝐍 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞/𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮 𝐋/𝐍, 𝐒𝐡𝐮’𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 :)”

“…..WHAT?!?!?!?!?”

Vox chuckled to himself.

Things were going to get even noisier in their Palace de Luxiem.

It’s been a while since you and your boyfriend really had any time to spend with each other, resulting in you both feeling a little more touch-starved than usual. Although Shu really needs to finish his work, you can’t help but see how far he’ll let you go to get some of his attention.

Part 1 of Under-The-Desk Shenanigans

First | | next >>

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

Shu is an interesting person to be dating. From the small pranks, he would play on you — to his insane memory, buying things you had offhandedly mentioned months ago. Without a hint of hesitation, you could say he was a unique boyfriend. And one you loved very much.

The only thing that honestly threw you off was his ability to absolutely dodge when you're trying to fluster him. It actually had been a minor problem before you’d started dating; not really knowing if he liked you or not. You were only a hundred percent sure when he was standing right in front of you, confessing how much he wanted to go out with you. Man, that was a veritable whirlwind of a day.

Currently, you were on your way over to Shu’s place. Seeing as he had given you a spare key, you invited yourself in. As you were hanging up your coat, subsequently sliding the keys into one pocket, you heard footsteps coming down the hall. About ready to turn and greet the sorcerer, except you jumped when muscular arms suddenly wrap around you. Giggling, you leaned your head back to rest on his shoulder, looking up at him. “Why hello there? Feeling quite affectionate today, aren’t we?”

Shu smiled, his eyes squinting happily as he looked at you, and that was enough to cause a rush of heat to your face. God, you loved his smile. “More like trying to make up for the fact that I’m kinda busy with something right now.”

Your smile dropped into a pout, reaching a hand to pinch his arm lightly. “Shuuuu! You should’ve told me. I would have stalled on the way here!” The sorcerer laughed at the way your voice whined. He planted a chaste kiss on your forehead before releasing you from his grasp.

You turned towards him as he stepped back, seeing fully now that he was still in his sorcerer attire but missing many key accessories. As he saw you pout, he was quick to explain himself. “I’m sorry, but I’ll be real quick, I promise! I just need to make my schedule for this week. It shouldn't take long, and then we can hang out and do whatever you want.” He pokes your forehead and smiles. “Does that sound good?”

Huffing, you rolled your eyes but nodded your head all the same. “Fine… I concede, go get your work done…ya nerd.” Shu gasps in mock offense, albeit still with a smile on his face, before heading back to his room.

Sighing, you decided to make yourself comfortable. Shu was clear at the beginning of your relationship that whenever you come over, you could treat this like your second home. At first, you were hesitant, but it’s been a good while now, and you come over so often that you have a small routine now. Slipping off your shoes, you put them beside his at the door. Making your way to the kitchen, you decided to make some tea while you wait, thinking that the process would take long enough that waiting for him wouldn’t seem so unbearable. You moved swiftly, already knowing where he kept everything in the kitchen. While you were preparing your drink, you couldn’t help but let your mind wander as to why you were here.

You have been feeling awfully lonely the past few days. Just feeling like you need more affection as of late. And who better to get it from than your pretty, and incredibly buff, sorcerer boyfriend? You just… haven't brought it up to him yet. And you know he said he had work to do, and you didn't want to bug him but… Okay, maybe it was a bad idea to dwell on it. Quietly whining to yourself, you try to prepare your drink faster. Maybe he’d at least let you sit in there while he worked.

Once the drink is ready, and you’ve cleaned up after yourself, you carefully take hold of the mug and make your way toward his room. Shuffling down the hallway before coming to a halt in front of his door. Leaning your head towards the wood, you try to keep an ear out for any talking. When you don't hear anything, one of your hands remains around the mug and the other raises to knock lightly against the door. There’s a moment of quiet before you hear Shu call a muffled “Come in!” from the other side. Opening the door slowly, your head peeks into the room just enough to see him seated at his desk. Your eyes meet his as he turns to look over his shoulder at the sound of the door opening.

Shu couldn’t help but chuckle; amused at how quiet you were trying to be. Normally, you would knock and wait for his response before walking straight in and making yourself at home on his bed. ‘Something must be up’, he thought as he turned his chair fully to face you. Giving you a small smile, he asked, “Hey there, did you need something?”

Fidgeting with the mug in your hands, you felt your body heat up in embarrassment. Now that you were here, you felt a bit childish. Yet you couldn’t lie to him. It was very hard to lie to Shu. Taking a deep breath; you move further into his room so you are no longer hovering in the doorway. “I just, umm, wanted to see you is all…”

The sorcerer raised an eyebrow. “Is that all you wanted to do?” He kept his gaze on you, trying to get a read on your emotions, making it difficult for you to maintain eye contact. Except averting your eyes didn’t help much. Whether it was his sorcery or just his eyes, you could still feel them on you.

With a huff, you visibly deflate, finally fessing up. “Nooooo… Could I–can I just hang out here? I really missed you and–” You pause, your lips pressing together in a line before glancing back up to his face. His gaze was softer than before, causing you to feel even more embarrassed than you already were. Quickly averting your eyes again, your face feels extremely hot. “I–... I just really wanna be around you right now. Can I, like, sit in your lap or sit next to you or something?”

Shu chuckles but does not outright refuse. He’s been feeling a bit affectionate today as well; a reason he didn't want to tell you that he had things to finish today. But work is important. He glances at his monitor and then back at you, thinking over the options you’ve given him. “I think… you being in my lap might be too distracting. And I also don’t have a spare office chair for you to pull up next to me…” He seemed to contemplate his options, one hand tapping at the arm of his chair. Any direct contact would just make him slower in his work. You were very cute, after all. How could he not end up being distracted if you were sitting so close to him? “Would sitting on my bed be alright, babe? I promise I’ll be as quick as I can with the schedule.”

Your expression dropped a bit, but you quickly regained a smile. It was something, at least. “Sure, as long as I’m in here with you, I’ll be good.” You swiftly made your way to his bed, picking the corner closest to his desk. Stretching your body in order to place your mug down on said desk, before shuffling back and pulling your legs up to sit criss-cross on the plush bed.

Shu sighed in relief before leaning over to brush some hair out of your face, looking at you lovingly. “I promise I’ll work fast, then you’ll have my undivided attention.” And with that, he pulled back and got back into work mode. Typing away and occasionally checking the shared calendar for plans and collab's, as well as checking Discord and Slack for any responses.

And the pair of you stayed like that for a while. Scrolling through your phone, occasionally looking up at the progress he was making on the schedule. 'Man, those things look complicated to make. Having to check permissions, wait and check on potential collab's, and get all the time zones correct; ugh.', your brain hurts from just thinking about it. The longer you looked at it, though, you knew it would take a while - even with Shu working at max speed. You bit back a sigh, eyes closing in disappointment. 'Why did my dumb emotions have to act up today? ' You open your eyes again, peeking at your boyfriend. Completely immersed in his work, purple eyes flickering around his monitors.

Your eyes trail over his face, thinking about how handsome and pretty he is. Thinking about him looking at you and the way his expression softens whenever he does. His cute smile when you lock eyes with each other. The way his hands softly caressed you whenever he held you. Cupping your face or your neck, running a hand along your side… You were getting more restless the more you thought about it; your mind quickly spiraled into more… inappropriate things. Shaking your head, you stand up a bit flustered, but with a plan in mind.

Shu looks over at the sudden movement but turns back to the screen just as fast. He thought you were just getting up to go to the bathroom, or maybe you were getting a snack. Continuing to type away, he barely even noticed you coming behind him and jumped a bit when your hands rested on his shoulders.

Leaning down, you bring your face closer to his; breath grazing his cheek as you speak. “Shuuuu…” The sorcerer peaks at you. His cheeks are a bit pink, but he replies to you calmly.

“What’s up, babe? Are you going to get something?” He gives you a soft smile and reaches a hand up to pat one of your hands on his shoulder. You pout slightly, you don’t know if he’s teasing you by feigning ignorance, or if he’s actually oblivious.

Sliding your free hand down his chest, resting your cheek on his now free shoulder. “Shu… baby…” Shu froze. He knew that tone of voice. You rarely pulled it out on him, but whenever you did, it was never for anything good. Or rather; never anything seiso. Shu forces his eyes to remain on his monitor, taking a deep breath to remain calm and retain his innocent smile.

“Babe, you're gonna distract me with your cute face. I swear I’ll be done soon.” His words almost caused you to falter in your plan, but held strong. Lifting your head to kiss him on the cheek, letting your lips linger on his skin. You can see his ears turn pink and you chuckle to yourself. The hand you had sliding down his chest comes to a stop on his stomach.

“Babe, I’m sure you’ve been working all day…” you whined in a teasing tone, using your other hand to play with the strands of his hair as you talked into his ear. “And I have a perfect idea. It lets you still work,” you place a light, feather-like kiss against his ear “and it gives me a ‘taste’ of affection from you.”

The sorcerer peaked at you, the light dusting of blush along his cheeks the only thing visual confirmation that, at least, on the inside he’s flustered. You wanted to get him fully, though. You wanted to see him fully express how embarrassed you can make him feel. He looks at your face, attempting to study it in order to figure out what you're planning. ‘Maybe they just want to touch me… the most extreme thing I can think of would be making out…’ Shu pondered for a moment, before reaching a hand up to pat your head, smiling at you.

“Alright, if it won’t interfere, then go ahead, babe.” You surprise him by taking your hands away, fist pumping in the air. He chuckles at your silliness but is brought into confusion when you then proceed to crouch on the floor. “Umm… hun?" Shu raises an eyebrow, looking down at you. “What are you doing?”

You giggle, eyes full of mischief. “Don’t worry, you’ll see…” Dipping your head a bit, you crawl into the space beneath his desk. After a moment of adjusting, you pop back up in between his legs. Reaching up, you tug at his chair to bring him closer to his desk, resulting in your face being very close to his crotch.

Shu’s hand quickly grips the edge of the desk to stop himself from being moved any closer. His thoughts raced, mentally scolding himself as he fully connected the dots of what you had planned. You look back up at him, flashing him an innocent smile that he knows isn’t genuine.

“What’s the matter, darling?” He huffs a bit from your nonchalant tone but keeps his cool as he quickly tries to think of a way he could counter your plan. In almost no time at all, he returns your false innocent smile with one of his own, causing you to almost pout.

“Nothing babe, you just startled me. I’ll get back to work now.” He adjusts and actually scoots in this time, causing you to shuffle back a bit. Shu’s hands and attention returned to work, typing away as you heard the telltale ‘click-clack ’ of his keys. Mentally, you curse to yourself. He wasn’t planning to budge an inch. However, just because he won this mini-battle didn’t mean he won the war.

With newfound vigor, and an intense desire to see him flustered, your hands reach up to unbutton his shorts. Pulling the zipper down, you bring your face closer to his crotch, intentionally letting your hot breath fan against his boxers. Glancing up at Shu, you notice his face is a bit redder than before, but otherwise, he remains solely focused on making his schedule. You huff, looking back down at his length, attention now firmly on his cock. ‘We’ll see how long you can keep up that calmness, babe.’ Moving his boxers down slightly, you gently helped his cock out. Seeing his leg twitch from the contact caused you to smirk a bit. You examined how he wasn’t hard yet and, with a light grip, started stroking.

Above you, Shu took a deep breath as he felt your hand start to stroke him, reminding himself to keep all his concentration on the monitor. Shu couldn’t let you win in this little game. Not when he also liked to tease you.

Taking your hand away for a moment, you licked at your palm. Getting it nice and lubed with saliva before you wrapped it with a tighter grip around his length. Stroking with more intent now, you started to feel his cock harden. Pre-cum starts to collect at the tip. As your thumb rubbed over his tip, you felt him twitch in your hand, his breathing getting a bit heavier than before. He’s still not making a sound though, not even showing that he’s turned on, which only means you would need to go further.

Licking your lips, you slide your hand down slowly, and with your other hand, you push your hair back as your mouth moves closer. You begin to press kisses to his cock, sighing in pleasure as you do. With your hand stroking closer to the base and your lips pressing kisses, his twitching became more frequent and you could taste the pre-cum as it started to leak more and more.

Shu’s eyes widened a fraction at the sudden feeling of your soft lips on him and darted a hand up to cover his mouth. On the outside, he looks fairly unfazed, clicking away in ‘After Effects’ as he works diligently. Inside his mind was a different story, however.

The sorcerer was struggling not to make any noise and his brain was arguing with itself; one side wanted to drop work and just focus on you taking care of his cock and the other side knew he needed to get this schedule done. He closed his eyes to collect himself, yet they shot back open at what you started to do next.

Still not getting a reaction from him, you could feel a bit of frustration start to bubble within you. So, with that frustration, you wrapped your mouth around his cock and swirled your tongue around him. A strained sound reached your ears, quickly drawing your eyes to his face. Sadly, or luckily in Shu’s case, he was quick to correct himself. His eyes remained focused on his screen, seemingly unbothered by your actions. Taking him deeper in your mouth, the hand you had at the base moving to caress his balls; Intent on giving him the best blowjob you could muster. It wasn’t as if you were completely unaffected either. You feel the heat begin to build, your thighs clenching together; sighs muffled as you bobbed your head.

Shu was tense in his seat. He is determined not to move his hips into you, no matter how amazing you feel. If his hand wasn’t covering his face, you would see just how red he is, his lips slightly parted. ‘God, it feels so good… it’s taking everything not to just look down. Don’t know how much longer I can ignore them…’ The grip he had on his computer mouse was tight, and the hand against his mouth had his nails slightly digging into his cheek. He scrambled to think of a way to regain control; to not fully melt into your teasing. Shu’s eyes blinked quickly as an idea popped into his head. With a quick glance, he enacted his plan, removing his hand from his face.

You were so focused on pleasing him, your eyes closed, you didn’t notice Shu’s hand making its way down to you. It wasn’t until you felt his fingers on your hair that your eyes opened, thinking you'd finally gotten him. That thought was short-lived as you felt him collect your hair into a ponytail, tilting your head up to look at him. Only being used to Shu softly petting your hair when the two of you were intimate like this, you are more flustered than you’d like to admit. His grip was tight, and you swallowed back a moan that you didn't realize was building up.

Looking up at the source of your embarrassment, he hadn’t even looked down at you, his other hand still working diligently. Your ministrations hadn’t stopped but had slowed a bit from your moment of shock. With a deep breath, you return to your previous pace as your thighs rub together. Feeling more aroused as the hand in your hair had unintentionally positioned your head to constantly look up at him. Yet that bubble of frustration returned with a vengeance. You were supposed to be seeing him flustered, not the other way around!

Fully embracing the heat that had built up inside you at this point, moaning and signing into his cock. Your thoughts are a mess, your eyes taking in every feature of your sorcerer boyfriend, as it only fueled you more at this point. Eyes trailing down, you can’t help but look at the arm holding your hair, the muscles flexing as he keeps a firm grip on your hair as you bob on him.

It’d be no lie to say that Shu Yamino has gorgeous arms. They are well-defined and, in the words of his friends, 'jacked as fuck'. Which got a good laugh out of you the first time you hung out with them. You don’t know exactly why his arms are so muscled, especially since Shu doesn't really like to work out. It being in relation to having to deal with sorcery and curses is the primary theory you have. However, you didn’t really care at this moment, as just looking at the way his arm flexed filled your lust-clouded mind with all sorts of thoughts. Mind spiraling, you removed your hand from the base of his cock and started to take more of him down. Deep-throating him as your eyes remained locked on his arms, mouth-watering to a point where the extra saliva leaked from the corners of your mouth.

Shu gasps, the feeling of you taking all of him into your mouth, sending shivers up his spine. He lets out a barely audible “Shit...” before peeking down at you. If he had been any further gone, he thinks he could cum on the spot. You are fully dedicated to sucking him off, no longer worried or caring about flustering him anymore. He was quick to notice the way your eyes focused on his arms, and the way your thighs rubbed together to give yourself some form of friction; your hands firmly set on his thighs. Seeing just how enraptured you were, he finally allowed his body to relax, now showing the full signs of his pleasure as his cock twitched, itching for a release.

He’s surprised when you suddenly remove your mouth from him, panting heavily as you blurt. “Shu, please cum in my mouth. Baby, please cum in my mouth.” The words came out as a whine as you look up at him briefly, before getting back to deep-throating him. He didn’t think you even registered his flustered face before you got back to work. Though he didn’t ponder too long on it as he felt more heat creep across his face from your words. That alone was enough to get him to the edge. He takes his other hand off his mouse, grasping the armrest of his chair as he looks down at you; hips jerking upward softly.

Moaning against his cock, you feel him pushing further inside your mouth ever so slightly. The hand grasping your hair tightened, but never pushed you in further. Your eyes meet in sync. Shu rolled his hips, voice coming out as a low moan as he spoke. “Babe… I’m cumming.” You nodded your head vigorously, eyes closing as he came into your mouth. Pushing your head all the way down to the base, you took it all in your mouth; swallowing every drop as it came. Both his hands moved to hold your head, no force being used as he ran his thumbs over your cheeks.

By the time you gulped down every last drop, Shu had composed himself. Although he is still flushed from what just happened, his face had a calm smile on it. While you pulled your head back, your eyes opened and trailed to his; your hair is a mess and mouth is wet from a combination of drool and cum. He lightly pushed some stuck hairs away from your face as you took a few deep breaths in order to calm yourself a bit.

You smiled mischievously, not wanting to show how much his soft touch affected you and how turned on you still were. “Told you we could do that while you work.”

Shu chuckled and shook his head. “I think your plan backfired a bit, babe.”

Your eyes widen. “You knew???”

“Haha, I could tell you were up to no good from that tone of voice you used earlier. Plus, getting under someone’s desk… There are only a few ways that you could take that.” With a huff, you looked away as Shu pressed his palms into your cheeks to squish your face. “You did fluster me a bit in the end. So I guess we both won.”

“Yeah, true,” Pouting a bit, you take a few more deep breaths, calming yourself down from how worked up you had gotten. Still feeling very horny. The sorcerer pulled his hands away from your face, tucking himself back in after cleaning himself off with some tissues on his desk. As he looked back down at you, he could see your thighs tightly pressed together. He figured with how ‘ into it ’ you seemed that you were getting turned on as well; his head leaned down to meet yours, making you look up at him from the proximity.

Gasping as you see your boyfriend's face inches from yours, you question him. “S-Shu, why are you so close?”

His mouth opens before closing again, a bit of heat returning to his face. “Do you… can I give you some help?”

Blinking up at him, your head tilts to the side as you think for a moment. “Mmmm…” a smile tugs at your lips before shaking your head. “No, I’m okay.”

“Are you sure? I know it was a game but—”

You give one of his thighs a pat before leaning in enough to press a kiss to his cheek. “It’s really fine babe, thank you, though.”

Shu watches you for a moment before nodding and moving his chair back so you can get out. “I think we should get you some cold water and maybe a cold shower - you’re kinda messy, Babe” He laughed, and you pouted, standing up and minding the desk so you don’t bump your head.

“Hey! I–I’m not that bothered or anything!” Shu chuckled as he placed his hands on your waist, looking up at your standing form.

“Of course not.” He didn’t believe you at all. “I'll get some extra clothes for you, and I’ll clean our tea mugs. Oh, and I grab you that water while you get yourself collected. We can’t hang out if we're both too tired to.” You sighed, he was too good at reading you, and most of the time it was at your disadvantage. He was right though, you had wanted to hang out when you got here; still wanted to. Despite this little distraction you planned. You nodded along with his words before leaning down to peck his cheek again.

“Thank you for indulging me, babe.”

“Of course, anytime.” The sorcerer pauses after saying that, before letting out a flustered laugh. “Well, maybe not when I’m supposed to be working.” You let out a loud laugh, lightly smacking his arm. 'God, he is such a dork.'

⠀⠀"No."

"Oh come on! You didn't even hear what we were going to ask you!"

"I know from your faces, you two are gonna ask for something stupid."

A whine and an offended gasp were hurt, making you finally turn away from the paper you were writing. Looking at the hulking build of the mafia boss wilting and the lean build of the fox detective who had dramatically raised a hand to his chest in offense, you sighed.

"Fine. What is it you two want?" Perking up, the blonde mafia boss immediately bounded up to you and wrapped his arms around your waist. You swore that if he had a tail, it would be wagging at an impossible rate.

Mysta slinked over, gracefully draping himself over your back as he rested his chin on your shoulder. A little too fox like at times, you steeled yourself in preparation for his request and subsequent sly coaxing methods.

"Well, we were thinking of going to visit our dear juniors at their dorms," Mysta started, letting one of his hand trail shapes on your forearm. You rose an eyebrow at what he said. There was no way that was all they wanted so you prompted them.

"And?"

"Mysta bought some water balloons so we're gonna pelt them with that!" Luca chimed in, lifting his head from your stomach where he had previously buried his face. A smack was heard behind you as Mysta facepalmed.

"LUCA!"

"What?"

"So why are you two asking me knowing I would say no especially after I heard your reasons?"

"Because they're not the only ones who want it."

A groan leaves your lips as you watch the red voice demon saunter into your room, dragging along the novelist and sorcerer. A resigned look painted on the blue novelist's face as a wary 'eyyy' left the purple sorcerer's lips.

"You got everyone in on it too?" An exasperated tone in your words, you turned to Mysta, who gulped at the close distance between your faces. He nodded slowly, a blush forming on his cheeks as his eyes darted down to glance at your lips.

Rolling your eyes, you shrugged the male off, letting him fall to the floor with a yelp as you pushed Luca off gently, standing up to stretch. As you did so, you could feel the heavy gaze of Vox as he stares at your shirt riding up.

"Did Ike and Shu consent to it?" You asked, hands on your hips as you watched the two aforementioned males dangle slightly above the floor. Vox raised a finger and opened his mouth, ready to speak, subsequently letting go of Shu who fell with an 'oof'.

"Without you three idiot peer pressuring them to." At that Vox put his finger down and closing his mouth before avoiding eye contact. This time Shu was the one who spoke up.

"I'm not against it exactly?" fiddling with his jujutsu, he shrugged as he juggled a small ball of fire, earning cheers from Luca and Mysta.

"Unlike the other two beside me, I explicitly said no." The glasses wearing male said as he turned his head enough to make eye contact with you.

"Until they forced you."

"Until they forced me."

Crossing your arms, you looked at the group of five males in your room, accidentally making eye contact with the blonde sitting by your feet who was making puppy eyes. A beat passed, then another, before you let out a defeated exhale which caused the group (save for Ike) to let out excited whoops.

"I'm only there to be civil and talk to them. I'm not in any way part of this. Agreed?" You spoke up, exhaustion already seeping into your bones just thinking about it. Ike immediately echoed the sentiment of your statement as the other boys nodded, albeit in discontent at both your participations.

"Let's get this show on the road!" Mysta whooped loudly as he steered you towards the door, the others following along with various degrees of excitement. It was gonna be a long day.

luca kaneshiro × gn!reader

angst

characters : luca kaneshiro

side characters : -

warnings : character death, hurt no comfort (i think you know what's up), suicide❗❗❗, implied self harm❗

please do NOT interact if you are sensitive to the topics marked with exclamation marks (❗)

summary : your husband's asthma has been getting worse, but he's been saying that it's fine, and that he didn't need to go to the doctor. but...

i managed to cook up something!1!!11

⇚ ↺ ⇛

you are the significant other of luca kaneshiro, a boss of one of the most famous companies in the whole world.

you were doing chores, like sweeping & mopping the floors, cooking, organizing, being a responsible housekeeper.

you hear some footsteps, and are met with a hug from your dear husband.

"welcome home, dear." you greet, smiling as luca keeps you in a warm embrace.

"hey..." he greets back, still hugging you tightly. then, he coughs.

"oh, are you sick? or is your asthma acting up again..?" you ask worriedly, as luca tries holding back coughs.

"it's okay. i'm fine, don't worry about me." he says, patting your back reassuringly.

"if you say so... but please go to the doctor if the symptoms get worse..." you get worried. luca rarely got asthma attacks the past few weeks, but it seems something happened.

"you should work so hard, you know...? take a break, working without rest is harmful to your health." you advise, your voice soft, worry visible in your words.

"it's fine. the bills won't pay themselves, you know?" he jokes, however you didn't laugh.

"well... your inhaler is on the table. i'll prepare something that won't make your asthma worse, okay?" you say, before pulling away from his hug and going to the kitchen. luca just nods, letting go of you.

he goes to the bathroom to shower after a long day at work, while you prepare some chicken & rice with spinach and kale. you also cut up some fruits.

luca came to the dinner table, ready to eat. although he didn't enjoy vegetables a lot, he knew he had to eat them.

you two enjoyed dinner, and decided to do your own things. luca did his normal things like working.

it was 10pm, and you both decided to get some rest so you could wake up early for a new day tomorrow.

you two hugged and cuddled together, and eventually fell asleep.

the next few days were similar. his asthma getting worse, yet him refusing to go to the doctor and telling you not to worry.

⇚ ↺ ⇛

you both went to bed early, because you both had matters to attend to — luca needing to go to work and you needing to run a few errands.

when you woke up, you realized luca was not by your side. you thought that he probably just went to get ready.

when you went out, you saw luca.

but... he didn't give you a hug and big smile. instead, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥.

"luca!? a-answer me..! luca!" you realized tears were forming in your eyes. you immediately ran to get your phone, then called 911.

"h-hello!? 911...! my husband passed out, his asthma has been worse lately, but he saw it as nothing... but this morning, i found him passed out on the floor...!" you manage to sob out, you were so scared of what was gonna happen to him.

"calm down, where's the address? we'll send an ambulance right away!" the officer on the other side said, getting ready to dispatch an ambulance.

"i-it's xxx, b-block b xx..!" you tried calling yourself down, but you just couldn't. you started crying, breaking down.

"okay, i have dispatched an ambulance. stay on the call with me." she says, telling you reassuring words how your husband will be fine.

when the ambulance came, they immediately brought luca into the ambulance and set off to the hospital asap, as the officer on the phone hung up.

you drove the the hospital, and searched for the room luca was in.

you waited and waited outside, waiting for the news about him. your heart was racing, you were nervous.

a doctor went out of luca's room, and you hoped that he went to bring out good news. but, he seemed really sad.

"𝙬𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮. 𝙬𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜." the doctor said, "please be patient. really, we tried everything. but... 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵."

just those four words were enough to make you burst into tears. you were in denial, there's no way he's gone, right...? you two were being all lovey-dovey the other day... how...?

⇚ ↺ ⇛

ever since that day, you were in a deep depression.

you couldn't do anything, you couldn't even get out of bed.

you couldn't bear it. you couldn't bear the fact that your dear husband for five years, has passed on.

you didn't want to believe it. you tried convincing yourself that it was just a dream.

but, you have to face reality.

he's gone. and there's nothing you can do about it.

you sobbed day and night, you were so guilty. why didn't you bring him to the hospital, when you knew it was the right choice?

you felt like a horrible person.

⇚ ↺ ⇛

eventually, you got up. not positively, though.

you started hurting yourself, whether it be cutting yourself or not eating at all.

you felt horrible. you had no appetite, you didn't feel like you could ever be happy ever again.

one day, you chose a choice that will never be able to be reversed.

you chose to 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭. hoping that, maybe you'll get to see luca in heaven, and you two could meet up happily again.

you went to the beach, and made sure to go to an area where there was nobody guarding it.

you slowly walked into the water, without stopping.

you went deeper and deeper into the water, you didn't care if your clothes were soaked by now.

slowly but surely, your lungs started getting filled up with water.

you couldn't breathe, though you were holding in your coughs to make sure there wasn't any unwanted attention.

eventually, you 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. everything was dark, and you hoped no one would find you. you were nowhere near the shore, after all.

maybe luca wanted you to live a long life, but you couldn't bear to live like that when your dear husband has passed on.

Story Snippets 🔪 Cornered

I promise I'm still writing this thing, Eki is still holding me by the scruff asking me to finish it. With that out of the way enjoy the second preview of Eki being Eki! Don't forget there's naughty naughty scene ini this fic/preview :D

[Master List/Links]

A black heel is suddenly at your face, the flats pinning your cheek down while the point of his heels is inching dangerously into your mouth. You could feel his pride and joy oozing out of that action alone as he puts more of his body weight into the step.

Your face forced to the side as the flats of the heels carved itself into your cheek, every small rocks and pebbles acting like little spikes, digging into your skin. Eki seems to relish at the scene because he immediately squish your face flat to the floor, your other cheek pressed cold to the floor.

The point of the heel inching closely to your mouth until it's fully inside. Due to the positioning, your tounge is forced to make contact with it. You could taste the debris that manage to stuck on to it. Whimpering, begging for Eki to stop.

"Oh poor thing.. do you want to taste some more? I'll gladly give you more."

The pressure from the heels lighten, giving you momentary relief. You caught you breath before Eki nudges your face upright before stepping on your face. The flats planted in your forehead while the point of the heels is in your mouth again.

"Lick them clean for me, will you? I'm sure you won't fail such a simple task."

Eki applied more pressure to his shoes, the flats pressing your face harder into the floor while the point is dangerously inching closer to your throat. At this rate you could choke to death.

Through your obstructed view of him, Eki give a fond smile to you. One that's different than before, not oozing out pride and joy but gentleness. "Oh dear dont worry, I dont want you to die. Not yet anyway."

As fast as it appeared, the gentle smile he wore on his face twist into the smug that fits his aura. "Come now, I hope you didnt forget what I ask for you to do." He purrs, those eyes telling you something dangerous and deadly will happen if you were to disobey now.

Random Event :D (Closed)

Ends 10/31 and any unfinished request would still be posted because I’m not cruel.

╰┈➤ What is it about?

○ I will write stories about your interaction between your requested characters and the three oracle cards I pull out. I will be pulling three cards from either of the two decks I created. I will emphasis the decks I have further down below.

╰┈➤ Who will you write for?

○ Genshin Impact (minors excluded)

○ Luxiem of Nijisanji EN

○ Jujutsu Kaisen

○ Tokyo Revengers

╰┈➤ How do I request?

○ Preferably by your zodiac, your initials, what deck you want me to pull from, and a little bit about yourself and your personality. For example:

Zodiac: hkjfhaf

Initials: DN

Deck: Amodeus or Aphrodite

About me: yer mom

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

╰┈➤ So what are my choices?

・❥・First deck, Lord Asmodeus

○ He is the demon sin of lust. He is also known as the god of revenge and gambling. (I’ll willingly sell my soul for extreme luck at genshin. There’s a limit sadly.) Lord Asmodeus is a King and expects to be respected and so for this deck I focused on having power. I also focused on pure lust. This deck is best for smut and revenge. Literally sex or murder.

・❥・Second deck, Lady Aphrodite

○ She is the goddess of love and beauty, sometimes war. Love and hate are just on opposite sides of the same coin. In this deck I focused mostly on different aspects of love. Innocent love, soulmates, and pain.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

request rules.

NOTICE!!! REQUESTS ARE CLOSED!!! I’m only working on OLD requests from my inbox, I will not be taking on any new requests. Thanks so much for your patience!

lost? masterlist. / welcome page.

little disclaimer: I'm a dance student in an arts college at the moment, so requests may come and go depending on the season. Slot sizes may also increase or decrease depending on my crazy my work load gets. Requests may also take a week to a month if I'm super busy. I apologize for any inconvenience! >o<

REQUESTS ARE CURRENTLY: CLOSED :O

At the moment, I'm fine with writing the following: - Bungou Stray Dogs (any characters, like literally anyone... i know everyone by heart, including the characters from Stormbringer) [please request the Flags... i would like to write about them...] - Jujutsu Kaisen (any characters introduced in the anime) [im behind on the manga...] - Nijisanji EN content is currently on pause for me in light of recent events. - Obey Me! (Brothers + Datables) I CAN WRITE IN THE FORM OF: - scenarios - headcannons - or a combination of the two (usually both in a shorter format)

JUST SOME RULES WHEN IT COMES TO REQUESTING: - NSFW requests are cool with me just as long as the character isn't a minor. (suggestive requests are ok too if you're uncomfortable with full blown NSFW) - Anonymous requests are allowed for any type of request. (NSFW requests are fine, so long as you are 18+; i'm putting it out there now that it's fine to request it anonymously, but because I cannot confirm whether or not you're 18+, i'm not responsible if something happens. please be mature and honest otherwise this rule will change.) - I will only write gender neutral requests because I want to respect everybody. I am also non-binary, so it's something that I'm more comfortable writing. - I will deny requests for whatever reason (eg: i need more context, feel uncomfortable, etc). I may not respond to them. - Rules can and will change!!! - Ship requests are fine too! I would just ask that you don't give me any ones that are problematic. (iykyk)

I may also just go rogue and write some things in here for fun that are on my mind (headcannons, thoughts, etc). You're allowed to comment anything in my inbox if you'd like :) I don't mind and I'd love to hear your thoughts/headcannons/comments. I look forward to your requests >:D (Please ignore tags... I can't put everyone in there lol).

PROLOGUE

TRAiN TO 200 FLLWRS EVENT PAGE

READER'S PROFiLE - ...GN!reader. it is whoever you are, isn't it?

DiSCLAiMERS - in no way am i a professional writer, i just like english lol. please know that these writings are a work of fiction and are the appearance and persona of the character! not the person behind the screen.

iMPORTANT NOTE - the kickoff event writing! no specific pairings for this one, you'll see what happens.

Standing under the overhanging ceiling of the station, you waited for your train. The skies were turning a violet blue, speckles of glowing white stars in it when you boarded your night train.

You didn't exactly know how you got here, all that it was that you and several other people received an invitation to "the dream realm." Whatever that was.

Looking around the place, you could tell it was made with careful attention to detail. By the corner of your eyes, you could've sworn you saw a rift of purple-blue light somewhere. But it disappeared as soon as you tried looking for it.

Comfortably seating yourself in a comfortable corner, you examine what you'll be working with on your trip. The train was split into rooms instead of seats, leaving enough room and privacy for each guest to have one of their own.

Your room had a small bed, fit for one person, a mini tray(like the ones on bullet trains or airplanes), and a long seating area that connected to the wall. There was also an engraved shelf full of things, with a sign saying, "Complimentary Snacks & Drinks."

'Huh, neat,' you think, turning yourself towards your temporary bed. Setting down your bags on the wall seat, you lay down on the bed, surprisingly comfortable for a night train.

After several minutes, you hear footsteps coming closer to your room. Looks like someone was checking in with every guest.

Knock, knock! You open your door to reveal a shorter woman with wide fennec fox-like ears. She wore a cute lolita dress with flowy sleeves.

"Hello there, you must be [name], right?" she asked, smiling. Oddly suspicious that she recognized you without you ever meeting the foxy woman.

"Yep, is there something wrong?"

"Not at all, I'll be explaining about this trip to you. My name is Kuraitsune, but please, call me Kura. Just for simplicity."

"Oh?" you tilt your head slightly to the side, curious to what Kura would have to explain.

"As you know, you were invited to this train to visit... a dream realm. In which where you will find all your dreams come to reality. You may rest freely whenever you wish, once we reach our destination... you'll find everything that you could've ever dreamed of. Whether it be a certain scenario or perhaps a thing you wished to happen, you'll find it there."

"Just take a deep rest until we get there. You'll know when we arrive, [name]. Oh, and if you need anything, ring that bell by the shelf to call for me and I'll be there. Have a great trip and enjoy your stay!" she gracefully bowed before closing the door and leaving to the next cart of the train.

"Where... I find all my dreams come to reality..?" you say softly, thinking of your ambitions. You absolutely think that they could never come true.

But that Kura girl. She seemed truly genuine in her words... Sighing, you lay down in your bed, preparing for probably the longest sleep you'll have. It'll be worth it, you kept repeating to yourself.

"Where all dreams and ambitions come to reality..."

NOTE - hehe, tbh this seems pretty controversial because well uh i can't exactly make everything a reality. but, we can always keep dreaming. at least, writing is like another world. don't you think so too?

enjoy the rest of the event! (at least once i finish writing everything <3) and thank you for the current 170+ followers!! kuraitsune, signing off for today.

DO NOT: repost or copy any of @kuraitsune's works! sharing is fine with credits.

— authors note : a small piece to bid farewell to both the streamer and character mysta rias :) i'm crying will writing this so there is probably a lot of fault and i need to proofread that later [ i probably won't because it will hurt too much to look at anythings Mysta related after he leave ]

Mysta was a detective, you knew that, you knew that he never was going to stay, he told you that he was there to solve the mysteries of this city.

You knew that at some point there will not be any mysteries left for the detective to solve. You knew that at some point he will have to leave to another city, this was the way things went.

But you didn't expect it to be that soon, two years could be seen as a lot but it flew so fast, two years felt like a few months, the day he sat down and told you, that he was going to leave in a month you felt so shocked and sad.

After so much time spend together he was leaving ? But you knew you couldn't force him to stay, after all you wanted to best for him, and you knew the best for him wasn't to stay in this city, you knew that it been a while that Mysta though of leaving this city.

And what could you do other than support him ? Even if it made you sad you knew what the best decision you could made was to accept him leaving, accept him leaving this city, accept him moving on, accept him changing.

After the month passed, you were looking at the detective making his bag, today's was the day he was leaving, and the day you were saying your goodbye. You smiled at Mysta, he was talking to you like normal while packing up. He acted as if everything was normal.

You accompanied him to the door, the detective smiled at you and simply said 'goodbye' and walked off, you watched him until he disappeared from your field of view.

You let out a small sigh, grabbed your own suitcase and ran after Mysta.

After all it wasn't because he was leaving this city, that you couldn't stay with him, even if he wasn't the Mysta Rias of this city, he was still Mysta Rias.

#— in case anyone is confused about the end #'you' follow Mysta in his new city #the Mysta Rias of this city = niji Mysta Rias - and the 'he was still Mysta Rias' means that even is his next reincarnation isn't Mysta Ria #he is still the same person we watched #mysta rias x gender neutral reader #mysta rias x reader #mysta rias #mysta rias x yn #mysta rias x you #luxiem x you #luxiem x y/n #luxiem imagines #luxiem x reader #mysta x reader

Snippets of time showing how you and your partner care for each other.

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

From the second you’d woken up, it had become pretty obvious that it was going to be a low-energy day. Thankfully, no plans had been made for today and you could try to rest as much as possible. How this had all led you to stand in your kitchen looking down at the counter, you had no clue. However, trying to remember why the hell you’d come in here… your mind had totally blanked, thoughts clouded with static. Giving up on trying to remember, you decided to make your way back to the bedroom.

However, as you get closer to the bedroom, you can hear your boyfriend talking. Now standing outside of it, you try to recall if he had a stream to do today, but come up blank. Trying to be as quiet as possible, you push the door open and peek inside.

Almost immediately, Shu catches the movement out of the corner of his eye. “Oh hey, babe.” Turning his head towards you, he smiles and gestures for you to enter the room. “Not streaming, if you’re worried about that. We’re just playing for fun.” Amethyst eyes flicker back to the screen and a bashful giggle falls from his lips. “They all say hi.”

You can’t help the smile that tugs at your lips and you give a small wave before realizing they can’t see you. This causes Shu to laugh harder as you immediately hide your face in your hands. As the sorcerer explains what happened, you shuffle closer to him. Once you reach his side, you give his hoodie a light tug. His eyes meet yours and it’s then that he seems to realize what’s happening. With quick movements, he excuses himself for a second before muting his mic and giving you his full attention. “Blue day?” He asks, tone gentle. When you nod, he continues, “What can I do to help?”

“Can I–” you hesitate, worried that this might be too inconvenient for him, your gaze falling to the floor. A hand wrapping around yours breaks your line of thought as he gives your hand a gentle squeeze. “Um, can I sit in your lap while you play? I think your body heat would really help me right now.”

With zero hesitation, Shu moves his mic out of the way before completely turning his chair around so you have enough space to climb into his lap. And you waste no time doing so. Once you are settled, face buried against his shoulder, he shifts back around to face his computer. He pulls his mic just close enough to pick up his voice and unmutes.

As he continued to play more rounds with his friends, whenever he died or they waited for a new round to start, one of his hands always found its way back to drawing soothing circles along your back or stroking over the back of your head.

Eventually, you feel yourself drift off, and in your last conscious moment, you feel his lips press against the crown of your head. Their softness blessing you with sweet dreams.

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

( CAN'T FOCUS ? ) LUXIEM X GENDER NEUTRAL READER 18+

❥ in which you send them suggestive pictures while they're on stream

❥ WARNING: NSFW, MINORS DO NOT INTERACT ( VERY LONG LOL )

VOX 👹 — verbalizes the string of thoughts running in his head while the scenario unfolds for his today's asmr roleplay stream, rarely taking glances at the guide he wrote that consists of two or three lines in front of him that he prepared prior to going live.

the situation develops with an unexpected turn of events, his kindred screaming and typing in the chat mostly praises or musings of unholy things. contented with what he had done until now, he decides to pause for half a minute. from his peripheral vision, he sees his cellphone screen light up from blank black, a notification bar then pops up with an endearment he chose for you, followed with the words 'sent you an image'. as a great multitasker he is, he unlocks his phone with ease and proceeds to check the photo you sent him. and oh goodness, was he caught off guard just like that? he couldn't believe the sight in front of his naked eyes, you all prepped up for a naughty picture just for him and him only to lavish and indulge upon. such thought makes him excited and wanted to delve deeper into his fantasies made up of you, doing everything to enjoy the long night.

a lingering silence plays in his stream, dragging on for too long that the viewers found off a little while. vox then snaps himself from the trance and continues his roleplay stream— incorporating the teasing you've done to him, "oh dear, you really like to tease me like that huh?" were the words he uttered and drove the chat insane with his way of words. his voice sounded cold yet intimate, so close yet so distant. only someone like vox akuma is truly capable of such thing. his tone laced was with mischief and extreme eagerness of wanting to feel your body next to his. he heaves a heavy, long sigh then rubs back and forth to calm down and cope with the feeling of wanting to punish you as soon as possible. he felt like a predator ready to devour its prey, he grows antsy minute by minute. this was when he started to realize he's losing his cool. massaging his temples with his calloused, long fingers, vox then simply lets out a breathy yet prideful chuckle, proceeding to turn his phone off and place it back on his desk table. "prepare yourself, you wanted this after all." he arrogantly says and you feel your blood gush with delirium from his chilling, striking words as you were tuning in his stream once you sent him your exposed pictures. it was supposed to be a silly little prank but it looks like you're in for a ride once he finishes with his duty.

MYSTA 🦊 —'s stream for today was a collab of luxiem with noctyx playing valorant together. as anticipated, he winged several of their games not until you thought of distracting him as payback from what he did to you long ago. you decided to watch his stream in real time and also prepared the pictures you're about to send him, and it definitely didn't help when he revealed recently that he liked fishnets and would like to see you wearing a pair someday. the thing is, you were well prepared for that day, you were just plotting when to show him all along. their fourth game just finished and they agreed to take a three minute break as of the moment. seeing this as the perfect opportunity to lure the fox into jumping over the fence, you sent him your almost-nude pictures wearing only the fishnets and onyx black choker with a fox charm adorning it in the middle as a bonus touch. mysta picks up his phone to pass time and swipes it to the left with his slender fingers, only to see notifications from telegram the very first second he used the gadget. he cocks his brows as to what were the images and the next thing he knew was his heart started beating loud and fast as if there was no tomorrow. he brazenly stares at your pictures— the fishnet stockings reached up to your thighs and perfectly hugs your size, every nook and cranny of your body can be seen from the angle you took it in. such view he can only see knowing you perfectly catered to his taste was well enough to titillate him. he taps on each one and swipes after memorizing every little detail of your nude, something hard under his white slacks bulging a second after.

"ah fuck—" a breathy curse he lets out unintentionally and a "huh?" rises from ike. there mysta realizes his thoughts slipped from his lips and you may have gotten through to him this time. "oh, nothing, nothing, nothing." mysta chants the word thrice and attempts to shrug off the accident, trying to ignore the symptoms of lust coursing through his body. a little dissatisfied with his reaction, you still watched his stream to see if he'd actually budge from his frail façade of getting everything together. the collab stream of luxiem vs noctyx on valorant continues, mysta was confident of shrugging your nudes at first but then a little while after, he started to get killed one match to the other in a span of a short minute that threw off his so-called mysta gaming. more strings of curses slip from his mouth, followed by whining and complaining, "what is happening to him". you couldn't help but feel sorry for him but since he was such a brat to you the last time you did it, one word you could say is: deserved.

LUCA 🦁 — you laugh at the male for the many times he's been spooked already because of visage. a horror game with his heart rate monitor shown in the streaming screen for an addition. being a supportive partner, you wanted to ease the feeling of fright persisting in his mind because of the few jump scares he'd gotten for just thirty minutes of livestreaming in. and so, you decided to send him a couple of nude pictures saved in your phone with a somewhat 'pure' intention. his phone that he put on silent to minimize distraction vibrates from the tabletop and he immediately picks it up, thinking what it could be. usually, if it's unimportant, he'll attend to it later on when he finishes streaming but upon reading your name with a heart on his screen, he didn't hesitate to check your message. he stops by a corner in the game and clicks setting to pause it, proceeding to check the images you just sent him. once he opens the conversation, he inhales heavily at the sight and widens his eyes in disbelief, he couldn't fathom how you'd send him suggestive pictures especially right now that he's streaming. a view he could only see anytime he wanted to— it made him melt like a putty and feel weak. the heart rate number rises, the chat grows suspicious of what luca would've been doing for his heart to be racing in such a short minute. he couldn't keep it to himself, the libido in his body manifests into physical effects like his palms sweating and pants growing tighter by every second that's passing.

"boss! are you alright!?" similar sort of questions get asked by the chat left and right to which he immediately answers by "yes yes! i am fine, thank you for asking." he quickly responds to your message with a few taps on his screen and continues to do the horror game streaming. even so, his heart rate hasn't calmed down anytime now. even when he's just strolling around the enormous haunted house, his heart beat picks up every minute. luca however continued to reassure his audience that he's fine, and the chat just decided to laugh at how quick his heart is pumping just by walking around the map with no sense of direction or whatsoever. being the so-called 'golden retriever' type of boy he is, he laughs it off as well and plays it off by saying sham excuses like "i just got some water hence why my heart is beating fast." a couple days after, a youtuber clipped this particular moment and it shook the community. it is now one of luxiem's top mysteries. you couldn't help but cackle upon remembering these moments.

SHU ☯️ — among the boys, shu is the most seiso streamer of luxiem or so the fans deem of him. shu avoids cursing and dodges unholy things like the plague and you couldn't help but feel curious as to how he manages to suppress such dirty thoughts and feelings even when surrounded by such people who make dirty remarks almost 24/7. apparently, even having gone through numerous quality time spent with shu and learning more of what he likes and dislikes holistically, something felt incomplete. a terrific idea lights up in your mind like a newly-bought bulb from the store, you want to see him lose his composure and that might have been your fantasies since then. no worries, you already got permission from shu to do such things. it was just a question of when you'll do it that he will perhaps never know. it could be tomorrow, the other day or today and bullseye! today is the day. while shu was taking a quick water break from the stream, you grab the perfect timing to send him the pictures you've exerted quite a lot of effort on. scrolling down his news feed from various applications, he then sees the notification from the top portion of his screen and was curious what it could be about that you're messaging him during his livestreaming hours. gulping down the bottle of water on hand, he nearly spat out his drink as he opens the conversation and saw pictures of you wearing a loose, wet white shirt with no garments underneath. the shape of your body, your chest down to your lower region were barely concealed by the clothing.

his orchid rosette irises widen into two full new moons and his jaw falls agape, he didn't expect this to happen that soon. he tries to hide his heating face with his hand as if you were physically there to avoid seeing him beet red. nonetheless, he mutes his microphone on stream and taps the call sign on your conversation with no hesitation. whatever you're plotting right now, it's driving him crazy. as soon as you receive the call notification, you were panic-stricken instantly, thinking hard if you did the right thing or what. you decided to not waste anymore time so you tap the green circle and respond, "yes shu?" a short pause occurs and the silence was slowly becoming deafening for the two of you. thankfully, shu finally parts his lips open, "you want to . . talk about that?" he asks, voice a bit shaky and not so unfazed as he usually is. "look i'm so embarrassed i can't do this right now" you lean to the defensive side and shu tried to gasp for air silently, a result of how flustered he is right now. "listen, i— i will come there later when i finish and then let's talk about it, yeah?" you hum in response and crack a sheepish smile, you feel a drop of sweat trickle down your forehead. only the heavens above know what will happen next. he goes back to his seat and plays it off to continue the stream, to which you were taken aback of because he's capable of getting back on track just like that.

IKE 🖋 — is an interesting person to know for sure. he's always calm and collected except for the times he gets spooked by jump scares or getting tilted, or made fun of but usually it's his soft, chilling voice that seals the deal for his viewers. he's soft spoken, and may be the most sane of luxiem, everyone's dream boy. you have no idea how you landed such a pretty man— it was calming whenever you'd hear his voice chime into your ears like music, and whenever you come across such problem ike is there, ready to solve it. from these little acts of appreciation, you wanted to pay him back, but in a different way. there were moments where he was a little suspicious for the seisus things he says, and you picked up those details for sure. his stream for today is nothing out of an ordinary, but a zatsudan. he proceeds to start the stream and engages with his viewers, entertaining questions from the superchats with entertaining answers. one queried, "ike, if you were to receive a gift from someone, how would you like it to be?" he ponders for a moment, eyes looking up. "hmm, i think it's the thought that matters the most when it comes to gift giving. i'm not quite picky but if the person were to give me a gift as thanks or something similar, i'd want it to be unique and i also want the person to put a lot of thought into it." and that was your moment of revelation that you did the right thing. after that, you started to grow impatient as your mind pushes you to send him the suggestive images you took earlier (yes, this was your token of gratitude for ike).

eventually succumbing to your urges, you finally pressed the send button and within 30 seconds, ike sees the pictures you sent to him. while entertaining his viewers, he responds, "i love you but what is this" you feel every ounce of shame creep into your body as if your heart skipped a beat. you pull an attempt to play it cool and make up of a childish excuse, "ike, this is my gift for you <3" ike couldn't help but crack a small smile from your attempt of returning the favor to him, even though it was a bizarre way of thanking someone, he still appreciates the fact that you wanted to gift him a little something. he mutes his microphone for a second and sends you a voice message, "feeling bold today, are we? if you want to bring out that side of me that much then i will do so." he says with his usual tone and voice ever, not unfazed one bit. in fact, you could feel him flashing his iconic, kind smile whilst playing the voice message over and over again and it was too much for you to handle. in the end, you couldn't say anything but reply "yes."

⇚ ↺ ⇛

you were having a nice dream when suddenly, your alarm clock woke you up.

you groaned, while reaching out to find where the alarm clock is and press the button to turn it off.

you got up from bed, and started stretching.

you then made your way to the kitchen to look for something to eat.

as a college student, you didn't have much in your pantry, so you just took out some bread & peanut butter along with some jelly to make a simple pb&j.

you decided to toast the bread because why not? and you also didn't want to have stale bread which was refrigerated.

when you finished making it, you ate it. what else were you gonna do with it? c'mon, ada anak di afrika yg kelaperan tuh, jgn boros makanan!!

then, you went to the bathroom to get ready. you thought of what to wear, however, before you could even decide, there was a message from the group from the secretary.

she said that class was cancelled because it was snowing pretty hard that day and the teacher and some other students reported to be unable to go to class.

you hadn't really noticed it, but the snow outside could reach up to your knees. wait, is that even possible?

well, class was cancelled, so you just changed into some comfortable clothes.

when you got outside, it was very chilly. you decided to just stay inside and keep yourself warm in your blankets.

you just sat on your bed and opened your phone. you saw a good morning text from your golden retriever boyfriend, luca.

you sent him a good morning text back, because how could you not?

right after, you heard a notification from him. he asked if he could come over.

you wanted to stop him because it was snowing pretty hard, but at the same time, you could really have someone to cuddle with you and warm you up.

however, you didn't get a chance to answer when you received a text from him that said “oops nvm I accidentally walked out the door and started walking to your house lol”.

you couldn't help but smile at your endearing boyfriend's personality! gosh, why is he so cute?

after a bit, you heard a knock at the door. when you opened it, you were met with the sight of your boyfriend, standing infront of your doorway.

he immediately went to hug you. it's been a bit since you guys met, because you two were in different classes as he was a year older than you.

“pog, I missed you!” luca says, hugging you tightly. you hugged him back, answering with a “I missed you too.”.

you invited him in, and he joyfully entered your house. you told him to make himself at home while you went to prepare snacks.

he said you didn't need to, but you just *had* to, because it's your boyfriend! you wouldn't let him stay at your house without any form of hospitality.

you came back with some snacks, ones that you could find, and some hot cocoa you both could drink to warm up.

luca thought of watching a movie while cuddling, and you couldn't say no to that, so of course, you agreed.

after thinking about what to watch, you finally agreed on one and started watching it while embracing the warmth of each other's body heat.

when the movie finished, you looked at luca. he looked at you back, smiling.

“how was the movie?” he asked, taking a sip on his hot cocoa, decorated with some cute small marshmallows.

“it was great, and interesting!” you answered, taking a biscuit and eating it.

“I'm glad.” he looks at you with a content smile.

you two spend the rest of the day just cuddling, enjoying each other's warmth.

Story Chapter #1 🌊 By His Fingertips

Congratulations! Looks like Christmas came early this year :) ✨ I decide to post this fic both in Tumblr and AO3 ! So please choose which one you would like to read it on, thank you for staying with me <3

Master Links | Chapter Selection | AO3 Link

Summary : What happens if an old God suddenly take interest in a priest from a nearby fishing village?

[ Eki is getting too handsy on a specific human and it's causing chaos wherever he goes ]

Chapter 1 : Beginnings

The gentle wave sweep the beach. Bringing the sand new critters to live in every nook and cranny.

Far away from the sandy beach, away from the little village living off of the sea, far beyond the deep blue, a creature look at them in awe and curiosity.

From it's point of view, it could see a well built man dressed neatly from head to toe. Black silk hugged his form as a silver necklace hang around his throat.

"How interesting," it mused, "It would not hurt to pay them a visit." And so it retreats back into the deep ocean blue.

------------------

The docks creak as a traveler put his feet down on the old wood. He made his way through, taking casual steps towards a village living off of the sea. He could notice children playing with the sand and fisherman coming back from the sea with fish and kelp. It's a lively little place, perfect for the traveler.

He made his way to a building much bigger than the rest, stained glass decorate it's windows and greenery surround the supporting pillars. Taking a peek from one of the window, he notice a man dressed in black inside.

The man is well built, the silk hugging his form not helping him. But instead highlights his muscle and form. Guessing from the position he's doing right now, it seems the man in black is a preacher of sort.

Letting curiosity lead the way, the traveler knock on the twin wooden door before giving it a gentle push. The door open slowly, revealing the man on his knees just in front of the altar.

"Hello?" His voice echo through the room as he take a step inside. "Sorry was I bothering you?"

The man that was on his knees stands up, his height fully towering the traveler. The black silk hug his wide shoulder, highlighting every form and muscle. He turn around and greets the traveler.

Confusion clearly written on his face but he tries his best to be friendly to the traveler. "No worries. But it looks like you're not from here, are you a traveler perhaps?"

The preacher eyes the traveler up and down. Long white coat over the smaller figure body with red undershirt alongside bright yellow ropes. Just by the waist is a small bag with a book attached. He notice the traveler's bright yellow eyes and the red highlights on the tip of his hair. A strange look for sure but not surprising.

"Yes I am, I've stumbled upon your village and thought I could come and rest here." The traveler answer simply, looking back to the preacher's eyes.

"Well you must be tired from your journey, please sit down and let me get you something to eat and drink." The preacher urge the traveler to sit down on the front pews. He give the traveler a smile before heading off to fetch the food.

The traveler follow where the man had dissapeared, an indescribable look on his face as he take every single detail of the man and commit to memory.

Eventually the man came back with a plate of sliced apples and a glass of water. Without the seat in the front pew obstructing his way, the preacher bends over and put the plate right next to the traveler.

The traveler smiles back at the preacher, both as a thank you for the meal and a very good view of the man's rear.

"I'm so sorry I haven't introduce myself," he rest his arms on the area where you would clasp your hand together, giving the traveler a sweet smile. "People around here call me MC, nice to meet you."

The traveler nod, "MC? Is that an abbreviation for something?"

The man laugh, his chest rising with joy. "You better ask the others for that, so what is your name traveler?"

The traveler look at MC in the eyes, those yellow eyes piercing into the man's soul. He swears he could see a faint flicker of light in the traveler's eyes.

"Oh please, just call me Eki."

MC smiles, his smile lines showing on his face. He leans closer to the traveler before speaking.

"What a unique name, Eki. Though you did say you're a traveler right? You must be tired from your journey."

MC looks at Eki with a gentle fond and a slight worry, it amuses the traveler but he replied with a simple yes.

"Oh well then please feel free to rest in our village. It's not uncommon for those from the seas taking a rest in here."

He motion to a hallway which Eki presume will lead to guest room that MC would offer to passing traveler.

"Though, if you want to you can always stay elsewhere. I can help you ask around-"

"No need preacher, I think I much prefer staying for the night. Especially knowing this place is guarded by someone like you." Eki tilt his head slightly, putting emphasis on his final words. That alone seems to caught other man off guard.

MC chuckle, giving Eki the sweet smile he's always wearing on his face. "Why that's a sweet compliment, thank you. But back to the matter at hand, on your right will be a halfway that lead multiple empty rooms."

His hands motion to the hallway again, "You can pick any room you like. And don't worry they're clean, I personally tidy them myself."

His hand went back to the arm rest. "And if you need me I'll be on the other hallway. Just knock on the first door you see and I'll be with you right away."

Eki follow to the left hallway, where MC would presumably be there to help him. He cant help but wonder if the man truly live in this holy building.

"I can see your curiosity, yes I live here. So please don't be afraid to ask me for anything."

Eki hummed, nodding along to the man's explanation. "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind." He eyes the man Infront of him one last time before continuing, "I'll stay here for a moment, after that I'll check the rooms you've graciously provide for me."

MC twinkle just from Eki's short comment. Saying to the traveler that he'll lay his head down first and bid him farewell. Eki is alone in the quiet main room of the church.

The candle flickering slightly as if they notice something is a miss.

Eki sees as MC dissapeared into a corner, presumably to his own private chamber to rest for the night. And though Eki would love to rest now, he have other things to deal with.

"Oh preacher," he says to himself as he look up to the altar, "I admire your loyalty and kindness." A strong breeze manage to slip inside and blow out one of the candles flickering on the altar. The room feeling slightly colder than before.

"Your naivety, it's amusing. I hope you rest well tonight." He stands up, the clicks of his heels echoing through the walls as he make his way to his own private room.

"Truly, it would be a shame if someone like you didn't get their shut eye."

------------------

The wave gently sweep the beach, creating beautiful sound that's iconic to the seaside. Though the view is pretty today and the sounds are in harmony, a quiet wind blew through the village.

As Eki emerge from his private room and into the main hall of the church, he could see MC sitting on the stairs that lead to the altar, his hands on his face. He let himself known by the clacks of his heels, MC noticing the approaching man and pull his hands down.

"May I sit?" Eki ask gently, not wanting to upset the man more than he already is. "Yes, I'm sorry you have to see me in such a state." Eki sits down next to him and gently pet the other's shoulder, rubbing soothing circles. "It's just, the doctor.. he dissapeared. We've been looking everywhere for him."

MC stops his talk after he realize he's venting his problem to a stranger. "Oh I'm, sorry I shouldn't have burden you with that it's just–"

"It's alright," Eki stops him midway, "if it makes you feel better please, continue. I'm all ears." That alone had cheered up the preacher, and with that he continues with his worries.

He let out a sigh before continuing, his hand crossing on his chest. "This morning, he just dissapeared. No one know where he went. No boats were missing and theres no trails that lead deeper into the forest." MC burrows his eyebrows, confusion clearly on his face. "I'm just.. what would happen to those who are sick? What would happen to the village?"

Eki let MC pour it all out until he have no more words to speak, only a defeated sigh and a frustrated groan is left. "I'm sorry.. you're a traveler, I shouldn't burden you with problems from a stranger." He look up to Eki, as if asking for forgiveness.

Eki only shook his head, rubbing more soothing circle to the man's shoulder in hopes of easing him. "Please, dont apologize. Its normal to get worried." He give the preacher a gentle smile before continuing, "if it ease your worries, I know a thing or two about treating those who are sick." MC practically beam at those words, his attention fully on Eki.

Eki could only giggle at the other's behavior, "I can help you treat those who are sick, if that's alright with you." His smile shined once more, putting a gentle warmth to MC. "Well that's alright of course! But aren't you a traveler? Don't you need to go elsewhere?"

"You have a point yes," Eki stops his movement, now focusing on MC, "but I have no plans on leaving this place so soon. You've accepted me, bought me food and shelter me. The least I could do is help you."

"Thank you so much Eki. I don't know how I could repay you." MC look at Eki like a puppy hiding from the rain, his thoughts clearly clouded with ways he could repay the traveler but none came to his mind. Eki smiles again, continuing his motion on the other's shoulder, "Please it's alright. If it makes you happier I consider my rest here as your payment."

It feels like Eki is accompanied by a big yet kind hearted puppy. MC smiles sweetly before urging Eki to follow him outside.

"I'll tell the others about you, please join me" he beam as he take Eki by the hand and open the twin wooden door.

Apparently a small crowd have gathered ever since the news of the doctor spread. A few of them are those who are sick, the rest are their family member and concerned villagers.

"Priest have you thought of a plan?" one of them question while holding their own child, their face pale from the sickness they're experiencing. "Everyone please don't worry," he ask them to quiet down and motion to Eki, ushering him to come forward, "for now this kind traveler will help us as a temporary doctor until we can find the one who went missing."

Eki give them a sweet smile before slightly bowing his head down to the crowd. "Pleased to meet you all, come I'll treat you to the best of my ability."

MC had prepared a makeshift medical room within the Church's walls. Complete with beds and basic medicine for Eki to treat and use for the people in the village. While the men search the doctor's house and into the surrounding area, to the sea and to the forest.

The few who's sick and injured are immediately brought inside. One by one Eki check them, from head to toe. Giving them the appropriate medicine for them to take. For those who's injury are harder to heal, he ask for MC to fetch him kelp and seawater.

"Why do you need these?" MC ask as he enter the room carrying a small bottle of seawater with kelp floating inside. He give it to Eki and he immediately opened it, pouring a good amount into a towel and pressing it into the wound of a villager.

"The sea is always giving," he apply a bit of pressure to the wound, prompting the villager to wince, "it is filled with gifts." He talk to the villager for a while before giving them normal medicine to take.

"MC can you please help them to their house? Make sure they rest in their bed and not take the towel off until tonight?" Eki looked at him, all the while disinfecting his head with water and alcohol.

"Of course! Come now I'll pick you up." He scoop up the injured person and walk out of the church.

Eki watch as the priest dissapear around the corner. He could hear chattering amongst the villager.

"That new person, Eki right? He's such a good doctor." One man said, a woman following suit.

"I had the worst headache of my life yesterday, so he gave me a small pill to drink. The moment I get out of the church, the headache disappeared!"

"He's a good traveler and doctor. I'm glad he's here."

Eki smiles hearing all those praises coming from them. He's only been here as a doctor for a single day and everyone is applauding his good deeds. The view of MC beyond the windows stops his train of thoughts. His attention immediately shifting to the priest.

Like a predator stalking its prey, Eki watch the man from afar.
