╚═══°∴,*⋅✲══〖✰〗══✲⋅*,∴°═══╝
New Year's Eve.
I had just broken up with my longtime boyfriend, and my two best friends promised me a night that would make me forget he ever existed. Reluctantly, I agreed to let them whisk me away to a party at a local hotel bar, complete with a suite rental so we didn't have to worry about driving home after consuming an obscene number of drinks. I had no idea what to expect, but I can tell you this: it sure as hell wasn’t what ended up happening to me that night. Allow me to elaborate, if you will...
“Ya know, he was a loser, anyway,” Willow slurred, leaning drunkenly against my shoulder after gulping down the rest of her drink. “You were too good for him. And you. Deserve. Better.” She punctuated each of those last three words with an index finger poked against my cheek, falling into giggles at her own ridiculous antics.
“I know, I know.” I studied what was left of my own drink, tracing my fingers absently around the rim. She’s right, I thought. But it doesn’t make it hurt any less. 
Chad. Stupid, lying, cheating bastard that he was. He denied everything when I confronted him, thrusting his phone in his face to show him I had proof of his infidelity in text form.
“Who is Lauren, Chad? And why the hell is she calling you ‘babe’?” 
“I can explain! Please, I-”
I threw his phone at him, shaking my head. “Don’t bother. Kiki already saw you together two days ago. This just confirms it.” My vision blurred with hot, angry tears, but I refused to let him see me cry. “Merry Christmas to me, yeah?”
It was the beginning of our end. Christmas Eve, and there I was, kicking my boyfriend out of our shared apartment while he begged me to let him stay. 
“It’s Christmas, for God's sake! What kind of sadist are you, anyway? Where am I supposed to go?”
I was furious. I didn’t give a damn where he went, as long as it was away from me. My cheeks were blazing, the tears spilling freely now as I threw his belongings into a black trash bag. “Why don’t you go stay with Lauren? I’m sure she’ll be happy to take you in.” I paused, then added, more to myself than to Chad, “I’m sure she already has more than a few times, anyway.”
“Yeah? Well fuck him,” Willow spat, slouching over her empty glass.
Kiki nodded in agreement, looking like she was about to pass out, eyes blinking slowly, a tired, blissful smile plastered on her face. “Yeah….fuck ‘em.”
“Excuse me, ladies. Who are we fucking?” An attractive male voice cut through the din of music and conversation around us. He sounded young. He sounded hot. The three of us shared a look, then fell into giddy giggles. I turned around to answer and was met with a pair of eyes so intense, their golden hue cut so purely through the relative darkness of the venue. I couldn’t be sure, but his hair looked to be dyed a pale lavender color- whether on purpose or a remnant of a botched dye job, I didn’t know. And quite frankly, I didn’t care at that moment.
He took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled, his chuckle coming out in visible puffs of smoke as he studied the three of us, probably looking positively ridiculous after a few hours of drinking and dancing.
“Whoever he is, he’s a lucky man.” His eyes lingered on me, and for a moment I thought I recognized him. He reminded me of someone I had known in high school. I think it was those eyes…
Willow kicked me in the shin and looked up at him, her tone teasing, mischievous. “We were just talking about an ex boyfriend. Total douchebag. Old news.” She lifted her glass, the remaining slivers of ice and watered-down rum nearly sloshing out over the side. “To New Year’s Eve. To new beginnings!” She went to take a swig and realized there was nothing left worth drinking. “Hey, you should buy us another round, misterrrr…?”
“Shaw. The name’s Shaw.” He smirked, taking a step closer to us, his eyes never leaving my face. I felt myself growing even hotter, his intense stare causing me to feel a tad uncomfortable, but...incredibly turned on at the same time. “What’s in it for me if I do?”
Willow opened her mouth to answer but was cut off by Kiki, springing upright in her seat and slapping the bar with her hands. “Guysss that hot weekend band is here!”
“Weekend band?” I asked, briefly looking from Shaw to her and back. His smirk widened into an amused grin.
“They’ve played the bar near my place a few times. On the weekends. The singer is suuuuper hot.”
Can’t be any hotter than what’s right in front of us.
“Does the band have a name, Kiki?” I asked.
She looked at me, incredulous, her eyes swinging to where the band was almost set up, ready to play. “Um, does it really matter when that is center stage?’
I looked toward the commotion on the stage where the emcee was handing the mic off. He was a vision. Perfection. Distressed jeans, a black shirt that hung open halfway down his chest, sleeveless to showcase the tattoos that ran down one arm. The light reflecting off his white hair was blinding. A guitar hung across his back, the body shaped like a gun. The singer turned, eyes sweeping the crowd. 
Course I’d been wrong before…
I turned back to Shaw, giving him a head to toe sweep of my gaze, trying to look as seductive as possible. I reached out and traced my finger down his abdomen, my breath catching at how firm and warm his muscles felt under my touch. “So, about the next round. What is it you want?” 
He leaned over the back of my chair, so close I could feel his breath on my neck. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” I felt his teeth on the cusp of my ear; teasing, exhilarating. My inhibitions lowered dramatically by the alcohol, I turned my chair around to look him square in the eye; my hand locked around his wrist as his fingers grazed the inside of my thigh.
“You didn’t ask for permission to touch me.” He dipped his head, locks of his hair falling into his eyes as he chuckled. Kiki and Willow watched us without saying a word, holding back their squeals of delight.
“You touched me first. Besides, you were practically begging me to touch you.” I scoffed, my pulse pounding in my ears, heat pooling in my gut. He called my bluff, but I wanted to keep the banter alive. This was flirty.
Hot.
Fun.
Dangerous.
“You’re sexy. Your boyfriend is an idiot,” he said, leaning in close.
“He’s not my boyfriend anymore, Shaw. And you know what else is sexy?” I licked my lips and watched his mouth fall open. “Consent.”
He hummed, his lips so close to mine that I could feel the vibration, the pungent smell of tobacco and hard liquor on his breath. “Can I kiss you, then?” His question was met with my mouth crashing against his, hands rising to fist into the collar of his shirt, pulling him as close to me as I possibly could. It was reckless. It was wild. But I threw all caution to the wind, hearing my best friends screech beside me as I made out with this perfect stranger like it was my job.
He was first to break the kiss, pulling away, to suck in a breath. Just as he did, the lead guitarist of the band struck his first chord, letting it ring out over the crowd. People cheered and whistled, and stage lights cast a hazy glow all around. The singer stepped forward and grabbed the mic stand, leaning forward slightly to speak as he centered himself under the spotlight.
“How’s everybody doing tonight?” The crowd cheered again, and a woman somewhere behind us screamed, “WE LOVE YOU, HELIOS!” He must have heard her, because he smirked playfully and pointed in her direction. “Love you, too.” The drummer kicked them into gear; soon the whole place was pulsing with driving bass, drums, electric guitar, and the edgy, gritty, soulful rasp of Helios's voice. Kiki had dragged Willow into the crowd, and I spotted them easily, their bodies writhing to the music. I felt Shaw’s hand on my shoulder, hot and insistent with some unspoken desire, and I looked up at him, brow arched.
“Need something?” I asked.
“Yeah…” he began, leaning in to pin my bottom lip between his teeth, releasing it with a pop. “You. On me. Let’s dance.” Before I could protest, he was pulling me into the crowd, grinding his hips on mine to the beat. He had rhythm- I gave him that. He also oozed confidence and sex appeal, snaking an arm around my waist, letting his fingers trace circles on my backside as he bent to taste my neck, my jaw, and finally kiss me full on my lips again, hungry and wanting. I felt like he was searching for some deep, lost part of me that had been buried long ago. He kissed me like he had nothing to lose, and I kissed him back with the same fervor, my intense need growing with each flick of his tongue across mine. Maybe it was my messy breakup a week ago. Maybe it was some primal need to be devoured that he had awakened in me, but there with him, his body pressed urgently against mine amidst the other bodies around us, coherent thoughts clouded by lust and alcohol, I made up my mind that I was going to fuck him. It was beyond want at this point. It was an unequivocal need. I needed to forget...what’s his face? My ex-boyfriend’s name was just a fleeting thought when I felt the unmistakable push of Shaw’s bulge against my core, ready and eager to be driven inside me in some dark, secluded corner.
Or, right there on the dance floor. I was so turned on at that point, I didn’t care who saw it. 
I rode his thigh, grinding myself against his jeans, the friction almost enough to make me come right then and there. I dug my nails into his triceps, pulling him against me. His forehead rested against mine for a moment before he turned to speak, lips fluttering against my ear, “You got a room here tonight?” I nodded, tucking my bottom lip under my teeth while I tried to read the expression on his face. “Well?”
“Well, what?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.
“You gonna invite me up, or what?” The nerve of this guy! I mean, I was every bit the drunk, loose woman that night. It was stupid, really. I was playing with fire and just asking to get burned, but I didn't care. I was hurt, horny, and looking for a fling, and the heavens had heard my cry and sent me Shaw.
I was a tigress, hunting her prey.
And I had him cornered, ready to pounce.
But I wasn't done teasing him just yet.
"That remains to be seen," I whispered against his ear, licking the cusp for good measure and secretly thrilling in the buck of his hips. I looked up and saw how close to the stage we had migrated, then locked eyes with Helios as he sang the chorus of the last song of the night. I hadn't realized how long Shaw and I had been dancing, but it must've been for the better part of an hour, off and on. Even in the poor lighting and haze of smoke, I could see his eyes: ocean blue, haughty, cold. He didn't smile when our eyes met, but he stared. Long and hard, like the cock I imagined he was packing in those ripped jeans. Jesus, get a grip, I told myself. Shaw seemed to sense my hesitation, because he suddenly grabbed me behind the knees and lifted me, hooking my legs around his waist. I squealed and locked my arms around his neck as he spun me away from Helios, who watched as Shaw nuzzled my breasts with his nose, playfully nipping at the exposed skin at the deep v-neck of my shirt.
"Focus, baby. I'm all yours." The way Helios watched us stirred my longing for him even more, and I was struck with an idea so filthy, so completely sinful that I was surprised I wasn't knocked dead right then and there and set into the pits of Hell.
I wanted both of them. Together. The three of us, engaged in carnal, lascivious, sleazy, lecherous, immoral activities that I had only ever read or fantasized about.
"I want him, too." 
Shaw stared at me, incredulous. "What did you just say?"
"You heard me. I. Want. Him. Too." To further entice him, I flattened my tongue against his Adam's apple and licked the rough path to his chin, nipping at his bottom lip with a snarl and a low growl.
"Easy there, tiger. Let me see what I can do." He surprised me by taking strides toward Helios, who was talking with a couple of fans. Setting me down, he patted me on top of my head, told me to 'stay there like a good girl', and promptly hoisted himself onto the stage where he began unplugging equipment and winding up cords. He's one of their tech guys, I realized then. It hadn't dawned on me until then that he was alone when he approached Kiki, Willow, and I. No friends, no girlfriend or even a date with him. Just Shaw and his brazen self, swaggering up to us like he knew what he wanted, and he was going to get it. 
As he was expertly looping one of the amplifier cords over his shoulder, he sidled up behind Helios and said something, looking at me the entire time. Helios turned and looked at me, something akin to a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, though his eyes remained cold. They shared a laugh then, with Helios watching my face for a reaction. I refused to give him much, but my heart was racing along at such a frantic pace I could barely breathe. And when he stepped off the stage and met me face to face, my soul left my body and I was promptly sent into overdrive. My pussy was throbbing so hard that it hurt. 
"Shaw tells me you're looking for a little fun." He reached out, brushing damp hair away from my face before trailing rough fingertips down my jaw. The girls he’d been talking to stared daggers as he slowly circled, humming appraisal as he went. He stopped behind me, hands around my waist sliding down to squeeze my ass through my jeans before stepping up and asking quietly, “you sure you can handle both of us?”
I swallowed, the heat rolling off his body like standing under the summer sun. “Yeah, pretty sure I can take it.” Need. Want. Will. He circled back to facing me, a sinful grin on his face. He leaned down and I popped up on my toes, meeting his lips halfway. He was softer than Shaw, lips moving slowly against mine with agonizing tenderness. I was aching for more, and I was determined to get it. I bit his lip before sucking his tongue in my mouth, tilting my head in a silent request. He obliged, teeth and tongue leaving me a whimpering mess before you pulled away.
“Well then, if that’s how you want to play it.” Soft lighting reflected in his gaze like a burst of gold. And when his eyes fell to my heaving breasts-and lower, to where my core pulsed-I knew that I was in trouble.
Nope. There was no walking away from this one now.
〖✰〗
Clothes littered the floor from the door to the king size bed. Helios was the first to crawl onto the mattress, apparently not feeling any shame in sprawling himself out naked. He reached out and grabbed my hips, pulling me flush against his chest. His erection felt like a brand against my back. He reached around, kneading my breasts before running his hands down, ghosting over my thighs and grabbing under my knees, opening my legs to Shaw who watched intensely. 
“I suppooose,” Helios’s voice was a sing-song tease in my ear as his fingers trailed up my inner thighs. “Since I’m the guest, I could let you go first.” He was looking at Shaw as he licked a line down my neck, calloused fingertips teasing my wet slit.
Shaw stood at the foot of the bed, stroking himself languidly, amber eyes watching every flick of those fingers across my skin. My head was spinning from the alcohol I had consumed, and I allowed myself to fall backward onto Helios’s broad, tattooed shoulder, opening my mouth as I moaned, taking in the vision before me. It was as much a show for him as it was for Helios, whose fingers worked themselves inside further at the sound of my cry.
“But I wouldn’t mind helping, if that’s okay.” Helios’s teeth skimmed my shoulder and he waited for an affirmative nod from Shaw.
“As long as we’re all in agreement, I’m down for whatever.” He took a step toward us and climbed onto the bed, that perpetual sneer now inches away from my own, hungry mouth. I pitched forward, eager for another taste of his lips, but he drew back with a click of his tongue.
What a goddamn tease.
“Easy now. We’ve got all night.”
Helios’s lips tickled my jaw and with a smirk I turned my head, kissing him instead. He wasted no time, tongue curling in my mouth the way his fingers curled to find my g-spot. I moaned and bucked my hips, brushing against Shaw’s jutting cock.
“Well, that’s just rude.”
“Play bitch games…” I whispered breathlessly. Helios chuckled.
“Win bitch prizes?” His wintry eyes met Shaw’s as he finished the sentiment.
“Now, now, there’s only enough room in here for one smart ass and that would be me.” Shaw reached out and pinched my stiff nipples, making me squirm. His touch softened, tickling and fondling my breasts before moving down to trace circular patterns on my belly. Helios seized my lips again, a slow expedition, barely affording me the chance to breathe.
Between the two of them I felt like a paper boat tossed in the ocean, pitching on the waves before starting to sink beneath the surface. I wondered idly if the noises Helios made was due to how my slick walls are starting to clamp down on his fingers. Shaw dipped his head, tongue lapping torturously at my nipples. “Gentlemen!” I finally gasped, breathless. “We may have all night, but if someone doesn’t fuck me now I’m going to lose it!”
Helios could barely contain his amusement. “You heard the lady.” He pushed his fingers deep, grinding his palm against my clit. Shaw crawled away, fumbled through the haphazard string of clothes for his jeans, produced a condom from his back pocket, and rolled it expertly down his intimidating length. In my drunken arousal, I hadn’t really looked closely at his cock until now; his girth was impressive, and sucked in a breath as Helios continued his ministrations, preparing me for the experience at hand.
“You ready for this, baby?” Shaw knelt in front of me, grabbing roughly at my hips and slotting his eager mouth against mine. Much to my chagrin, Helios withdrew his fingers, teeth and tongue tracing a path down the sensitive flesh of my back. His hands then traveled up my spine, vertebra by vertebra, as if he were memorizing the bumps and dips on the path to my neck. Then, gathering my hair at the nape of my neck, his other hand sliding around to rest at my throat, he squeezed-  just enough to thrill and terrify me at the same time. He lifted my chin and sucked hard on my shoulder, meeting Shaw’s eyes with a subtle nod, as if to urge him on. Shaw lined himself up against my throbbing, aching sex. In a suddenly tender moment, he pushed my hair away from my face, cupping my cheek in his palm. "Be gentle with me. It's my first time," he cooed, the corner of his mouth lifting into that signature smirk.
“I refuse to believe any of this is a first for you~” my reply trailed off to a loud moan as he pushed his cock inside me, Helios’s fingers tightening ever so slightly around my neck. They’ve definitely done this before. I briefly considered asking them if they were keeping track of all the roadies they had fucked together, but Shaw’s thickness stretching me in all the right ways left me without a second to even think straight. God, he felt good. 
Helios kept a tight grip on my hips as Shaw found his rhythm, coaxing me on in his breathy rasp. “That’s it, baby. You like it when I hold you up for him to fuck you?” I could only moan an affirmation, the room beginning to grow hazy as I felt my release coming quicker than I wanted. His arms slid upward, hands locking onto my breasts to pull me tighter against his chest. I leaned against his shoulder again and hooked an arm around the back of his neck, where I grabbed a fistful of his hair and yanked, drawing a low growl from him. “Easy, killer. You gotta be careful doing things like that, or I might not let Shaw finish." He threw a look at Shaw, who-of course-laughed, the sound leaving his throat in staggered pants. A delicious, ruddy glow spread over his cheeks, a sheen of sweat glistening on his tanned skin. I pressed my palm to his cheek and hooked my other arm around his neck, pushing him flush against my own sweat-slick chest. His tongue caught one of my overstimulated nipples and teased pebbled flesh; then he sucked it into his mouth, effectively sending me over the edge. My pussy clamped down around him and he slowed his pace, obviously enjoying the sensation. I was vaguely aware of his breath on my ear, of a bead of sweat rolling down between my breasts and mingling with that of Shaw's skin. 
"Yeah, baby girl. Ride it out. God, you feel good, squeezing my cock. Unh…" Our ragged breathing mingled with the throaty grunts of Helios behind me. 
"Fuck. You don't mess around, do you?" Helios marveled, sweeping my damp hair away to lick the column of my neck once more, sending shockwaves throughout my already spent body. I searched for the words to retort, but I had none. I hadn’t meant to come so fast. I wanted to ride the wave, to feel Shaw working inside me for longer than those first few minutes, but I had been so painfully aroused before we started that I just couldn’t take anymore. His release came soon after mine began, his cock pulsing against my walls while his hips bucked uncontrollably against mine. I went limp against Helios’s firm chest and whimpered, quaking with pleasure, having lost any and all control over the movements of my body. 
Helios’s patience was strung thin. Watching, feeling me writhe against him as I came on Shaw’s cock was torture in its purest form. Shaw rolled to the side, taking me with him, and Helios slid to the floor. He picked his jeans up at the foot of the bed and pulled a string of three condoms out of the back pocket, tearing one off and tossing the others.
“Show off.” Shaw mumbled, grinning as he cradled my face in his hands and kissed me.
“Jealous.” Helios replied, tongue flashing between his lips in a childish display. “Now if the opener is finished he should make way for the main act.”
“Is it too late for me to apologize for him?” Shaw said with a laugh. I felt empty as he pulled away. Helios sauntered back, grabbing my ankles and chuckling when I squealed as he dragged me to the edge of the bed. He leaned over and kissed me, lapping a hungry line down my throat and between my breasts. I didn’t realize I was holding my breath the lower he went until his tongue passed over my clit and plunged into my overly sensitive pussy, making me exhale in a head-spinning groan. He braced my feet against his shoulders before grabbing my thighs, holding me in place as he pressed his mouth against me, pushing his tongue as deep as it could go. I reached down, twisting my fingers in soft white hair. My throat felt dry no matter how many times I swallowed, unaware of how loudly I was moaning. Letting my hands do the work of guiding him, Helios ripped the foil and rolled the condom down his throbbing shaft before reaching up and sliding two fingers inside me. My pussy clenched, his tongue swirling around my clit as he rubbed my g-spot. I didn’t think it was possible for me to come again so quickly, but I could feel my muscles tensing as the wave built low in my belly. Charles...Carl...what’s-his-name had never pulled this off.
“I...I’m gonna...gonna come-!” I wailed, bright spots flashing in my eyes, a small gush of fluid wetting the bed beneath me. I didn’t even notice Helios pop to his feet, dragging the back of his hand over his mouth as he lined himself up and filled me with one smooth thrust. My thighs snapped against his hips and my mouth fell open noiselessly.
“Ssshhit!” He hissed, grabbing my ankles and spreading my legs. I was still coming, my pussy fluttering around his cock. “You feel so good.” He fucked me deep and hard, using his grip on my legs to add leverage to every thrust. My vision swam, I couldn’t focus on anything but the feel of his cock driving into me over and over. 
“You didn’t forget about me, did you?” Shaw’s voice was soft and I jerked as his hands slid under my shoulders, hoisting me up so he could hold me against his chest. His hands skated over my body, one hand pressing against my mound, the fingers of the other coming up to trace my lips. I numbly parted them, sucking on his fingers as they slipped over my tongue. Shaw’s hand danced up my leg, replacing Helios’s grip on my ankle so that Helios could reach down to grab my hip. Shaw’s lips pressed against my ear, tongue tracing the contours. 
“And what if..ah...I did?” Each word I managed was a conscious effort; my throat was so dry and raw, and I licked my lips, desperate for moisture. Shaw sensed my need and rewarded me with another kiss, pushing his own tongue through my parched lips. 
“Look. Watch him come. ‘Cause once he’s finished, I’ll need your help again.” He shifted himself so that I was propped against his chest again, my head trained downward to where Helios was pumping furiously in and out of me, Shaw’s fingers expertly strumming my clit, his cock pressed hard and hot against my back. I whimpered at his command, not sure just how much more pleasure my body could endure. 
I was seeing stars at that point, tears pooling at the corners of my eyes. Every muscle in my body was limp and feeble, and I was thankful for Shaw’s support, as I don’t think I would have been able to hold myself up to meet Helios’s eager thrusts. And when I felt him twitching within, saw his cerulean eyes flash with a silent outcry of ultimate gratification, I came for a third time, my hips lifting high off the mattress and taking him in fully, completely. I think we all cried out together, sweat-slick bodies sliding together effortlessly, as if the three of us were one being. I had never felt more sexy, more desirable, more alive as I did in that moment. It was overwhelming in many ways, and when Helios pulled himself out, leaving me feeling barren and empty, I whined softly, curling myself against Shaw, the tears of euphoria I’d kept in check before now streaming freely.
Helios saw what was happening and sat beside Shaw and I, his fingertips tracing over my shoulders in a sensual, yet comforting way. They exchanged a look of concern, and Shaw covered my ear with his palm, whispering to Helios, “I think we broke her, man. Why’s she crying?”
“She’s spent, Shaw. Look at her. She is tapped the fuck out.” He hooked his fingers around a few damp locks of hair that were plastered against my cheek and pushed them away, then placed an achingly tender kiss on the newly exposed skin. I opened my eyes and found his gaze, my vision blurred but still able to discern his smile, edged with a hint of concern thanks to a furrowed brow. I tapped his chin with my fingertip playfully, my lips twitching into a grin. 
“You two lied to me,” I said, fingernails raking the stubble on his cheek.
They exchanged a look of confusion, with Shaw bending close, turning his ear toward my mouth to better hear me. “What did you say?”
“You said it was your first time. But you’ve done this before. There’s no way in hell you haven’t practiced that on another...helpless...victim…” I felt myself succumbing to exhaustion quickly, now slumping into the supportive arms of Helios, my hands clasped together under my chin, head resting against his chest.
I felt the vibration of Helios’s chuckle against my ear. The bed dipped slightly as Shaw stood and stretched his arms above his head with a loud groan, then staggered off to the bathroom. I soon heard the sound of rushing water, presumably from the shower. That soothing sound, coupled with the comforting heat of Helios’s embrace was enough to send me into a deep, restful sleep. When my breathing steadied, Helios slowly, silently slid away and covered me with the rumpled sheet before stepping out onto the balcony, naked, taking in the view of the city below.
After his shower, Shaw joined him, a towel tied around his waist, damp hair tousled and wild. He lit a cigarette and leaned on the railing, blowing smoke rings into the black, starless night.
“Guess there’s a first time for everything, yeah?”

Unforseen Timeline. The "Unhappy ending" MLQC/ToT ***SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.***
I've been really into Tears of Themis recently... but I can't help but want a fan fiction crossover with TOT and MLQC 👀 MC will be the same, maybe in one of the timeliness, after MC loses her evol that's when she finally starts to give up slowly. Yes she still miss having it, but then she starts wondering what it would be like to live a normal life. No longer having the queen power nor wanting to be the queen due to the responsibility and pain it comes with. She finally reaches a breaking point with all of the boys, never being satisfied with what she currently has with them. Each and everyone of them has brought her pain in some way. Finally she resorts to trying to have a normal life, she cancels miracle finder since it would be easy for the boys to find her if she were to still have a TV show she would have to constantly promotes. Perhaps she decided to become a lawyer, that way she's still helping people while also fighting for justice in her own way. I thought it would be fun to think that she eventually gets to her dream and moves to Stellis. After all, TOT does take place in 2030, (even tho there would be many,several plot holes lol.) She could get help from Shaw, we know that he'd helped MC create a fake identity before hand. So why not again? He'd be the only one tk ever contact MC while she's in Stellis only because we know Shaw would be hella petty if she up and left him after he helped her out. And so Youran then becomes Rosa. Leaving Lucien, Victor, Kiro and Gavin without a trace and with no warning. Just like they did to her all those years ago and multiple times. Never knowing if they'll be back or if they're alive and well. Figures it would be better this way, no more Black Sawn members keeping tabs on her, no more lies and hidden truths, broken promises. She joins Themis lawfirm and works under Mr. Wing, she's taken a liking to him. A boss would really be this nice? She would have never thought after spending all that time near the "tyrant" Victor. Even if as a lover he was sweet, as a boss he had always put so much pressure on her. She is delighted to be near Dr, Ritcher, always learning interesting and unique things. How he's always there to lend a helping hand and is always so kind. She doesn't have to worry about Vyn being after her genes or wanting to gain her evol back. (I like to think that in this AU scenario Loveland would be the only place where Evol's exist, like as if some force is stopping people from other places to gain access to the serum. After all I think they only did expirements on people from Loveland, as in that's where it started. But I could be wrong) Her curiosity peaks when she's with Marius because of his flirtatious nature and the way he's always teasing her. Knowing for a fact that even if he annoys her to no end, she can be assured that he is only Marius and no one else. With Luke... haha plot hole, I guess we could change it if it's an AU of sorts. Perhaps they come across each other in Stellis once MC moves and decides she wants to study law there? They become rather close, two peas in a pot. They have a lot in common! With Rosa now knowing Luke is in the NXX as well, he can let her know ahead of time if he's leaving and for what. No more waiting for Gavin to come back after months of being gone just so he can sneak in her room for a few minutes before having to leave again. So maybe solving murder cases and illegal drug cases isn't the most normal life to live. But there are at least no more people from black swan keeping tabs. She doenst have an evol and "the world" no longer needs to rely on the Queen's power. She at least live in peace for it.
Then for additional angst if you'd like just have the boys make an NXX mission telling her they're headed to Loveland. She freezes upon hearing these words but she tries her best to remain calm. She can only pretend to not know the place or boys for so long. Eventually she crosses paths with them once more... only for the boys to find out they've been replaced. The biggest shock to them was that their MC is still alive, she was missing/gone not dead like they had originally thought. After all, she got a new number. She never responded to their text or calls or even emails. They received nothing all these years. A mixture of so many emotions would consume the boys. Victor being replaced by Artem. Gavin being replaced by Luke. Kiro being replaced by Marius. Lucien being replaced by Vyn. And there's Shaw who's just chilling. Like "Hey Youran, long time no see? Or should I call you Rosa?" Anyway, this stupid thought came to me after playing tot and I wanted some angst since I do love both games. Major plot holes and problems for this AU/headcanon but I thought it would be fun lol

Adrien!
This is an ask directly related to this and I'm finally here to answer it. Or at least part of it. Tagging @non-canon-central because they also asked for Adrien but I was unable to get to him at the time. For some reason Tumblr doesn't want me actually tagging them I guess, so hopefully this freaking works??? So let's make one thing pretty clear; I don't hate Adrien but I do hate his character. That sounds like an oxymoron, I am aware. The best way I can describe this is, it's like the opposite of liking a villain's character but fundamentally hating them as a person. Like I love the idea of Adrien. I think he has plenty of fun potential and it wouldn't take much to make him more intriguing but I just hate how he's written. I'm sure that comes as a shock to absolutely no one. I say this about almost every Miraculous character. I wanted to clear this up because a lot of people seem to believe that if you talk bad about a character, and it isn't some kind of joke, that you just hate that character entirely. This isn't the case with me. Now I mentioned a while back that the only way I believe I could ever hope to explain my frustration with Adrien's character is by comparing him to other similar characters or similar character arcs. My goal is to compare him to a few characters. I tried to keep it to characters within his age range but there are one or two on here that are adults (though I would be referencing a lot of their childhood for at least one). Since I will be comparing Adrien to these characters this means spoilers will be very hard to avoid so I'm just going to warn you now. If you don't want spoilers for the following I suggest looking into these things yourself; Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic the Hedgehog Archie comics, Sonic Universe Archie comics, Sonic the Hedgehog IDW comics, Mr Love: Queen's Choice the Gavin and Kiro story arc, Koi to Producer: Evol X Love the Mr Love: Queen's Choice anime, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Omniverse, and Miraculous Ladybug. I was initially going to include Raven Saga from Webtoon but decided against it since it's not nearly a big enough franchise as compared to the others and the author would most definitely not benefit from it. I highly recommend reading it and then you can guess what character in there I found similarities to Adrien in but was just actively done better. I will most likely be splitting this into parts just to make it an easier read. Part 1: Mr Love: Queen's Choice and/or Koi to Producer: Evol X Love - Kiro (Helios)
One of the reasons I believe Mr Love: Queen's Choice's characters are comparable examples to Adrien (despite all the characters presented are adults through most of the story) is because it is an otome game, which means its primary focus is romance much like Miraculous. But also, much like Miraculous, it involves high actions scenes and beings with superpowers. It balances these things quite well whereas Miraculous (in my opinion) does not. And unlike Miraculous, it presents itself as a romance first and foremost, making it clear where their primary focus is whereas Miraculous doesn't really do that. In fact, most of its marketing is pointing at girl power. At least MLQC knows what it's about. Since MLQC knows exactly what it's about it may not come as a shock at all to you that they know exactly what their characters are. And there are two characters in this game that share quite a few similarities to Adrien. However a main difference is that both characters have a clear direction their headed towards but Adrien doesn't.
So let's talk about Kiro (Helios). This is the character I know the least as compared to the others. Most of what I have learned about him I got from the anime which I have learned is not entirely accurate but I will be referencing most of that (sorry die-hard MLQC fans, I am a very slow reader) as well as some scenes from the game.
Who is Kiro, exactly? And who the heck is Helios? Let's define him. Kiro is a mega popular popstar (so popular that girls practically fall at his feet) with a love for junk food and sweets (despite his agent forbids him from eating them). He's musically gifted, being able to pick up and play any instrument after a very short period of trial and error. He is also known to moonlight as a movie actor and a model. He's got a child-like wonder to him and a huge appreciation for superheroes, specifically ones without powers (Batmen, for instance). He shows affection and comfort through cute gestures and physical touch. He's, in essence, a big teddy bear. He's such a teddy bear that the narrative often compares him to one. This perfect teddy bear like nature is easily comparable to Adrien's perfect sunshine character. They both are hugely popular and beloved by their fans. They both show incredible talent, able to take on many tasks given to them such as modeling, acting, and instrument playing with ease. They both show comfort and affection through cute gestures (though Adrien's can be more grandiose) and physical touch. Pretty similar, right? Here's the massive difference; Kiro has flaws. Kiro has secrets. There are things he actively keeps from the MC and behavior one wouldn't associate with his supposedly perfect teddy bear likeness. There's actually a narrative reason why Kiro is presented to be so perfect. There's a reason why it's shoved in your face. We're gonna get into huge spoiler territory here for Kiro. This is your only warning.
Kiro is secretly a vigilante code-named Key (a name passed down to him by his father figure that taught him everything he knows). Key is an expert hacker. Able to hack through almost anything. There's very few things he cannot bypass. He likes to think of himself as a hero and loves to play the hero role (much like how Adrien took to Chat Noir so comfortably). Kiro prefers to use his own wits and hacking skills rather than his evol. That's right, he has evol, which in MLQC is the equivalent to superpowers. His evol is absolute charm. This was actually not fully a secret to us, the reader, but it's a shock to MC. It's heavily implied that Kiro used this power almost unintentionally purely because he's selfish. He longs for people to love him and his power responds to his wants. It's implied he's not aware how much he may use it but it could only be at his concerts. In fact, Kiro may have only been made aware of it when evolvers control over their evol was lost due to tampering with, I believe, electro-magnetic waves. Where, at one of his concerts, his fans began to tear each other apart to prove they loved him more. This is such a shock to him he quits being a popstar immediately because he can't bare the idea he caused that, even if it wasn't his fault he lost control. Now here's the really annoying thing about Adrien; I could totally believe he secretly has absolute charm with the way people just fall in love with him and he's just totally unaware of it but the problem is it's also pretty clear Adrien doesn't even want the attention he gets. And despite how obvious he makes that people blatantly choose to ignore it. This includes Kagami, Chloe, Wayhem, and nearly the entire class! He's not trying to hide it guys! It's pretty obvious he's unhappy with it! What is the purpose of this? To show he's so unfairly treated? How none of this is his fault? He couldn't possibly be unintentionally feeding into some of this because he's perfect and that would be too interesting of an idea. /s Ah, yeah, but I guess it ain't totally obvious because he's totally cool with Ladybug and his best friends giving him that same attention (except in season 4 I guess). Double standards much? What the freak do you want, Adrien?
But let's get back to Kiro because we aren't near done yet. Now here's a fun thing, Kiro actually possesses another evol. This evol he tends to refuse to use unless he has to. It is revealed to us and to MC at the same time. It's important to note that neither of us were aware of it until he had absolutely no choice. I'm gonna try to explain this without giving away too many spoilers because this game is awesome; Kiro refuses to use this power probably because it goes against what being a hero means to him. I should also mention that over using evol can be harmful and even deadly to the evolver. This is also why Kiro probably only ever used absolute charm. Keeping this all in mind, Kiro only decides to use it when he and MC are being chased by the bad guys and there's no way to escape. He has to painfully make the choice to use it on her when they reach the door to the heart of the issue which buys her some time while he fends them off. He risks her hating him just to buy her time so she can destroy the machine and save everyone. He also risks dying due to the sudden amplification of evol power. This self-sacrificing may slightly remind you of Chat Noir but the main difference being... Kiro actually had a reason. There is only about 2 or 3 times Chat Noir's sacrifices had ever made sense in the narrative and were presented as possibly the only action to take in that moment. I cannot stress enough to you how horrifying it is that almost every time Chat Noir self-sacrifices there are clear other avenues they could take and yet he immediately just jumps to the extreme. It makes you think Adrien just wants to die but something as serious as that is never at all focused on beyond one small comment from Ladybug in Lies! For Kiro there was no other option. If they entered the room together they would almost certainly be caught and since in this world they use guns, MC or himself could be dead before he ever got the chance to use his powers. And because MC effectively believes him to be dead after this Kiro takes on a new identity. An identity that isn't the perfect cuddly teddy bear Kiro or the heroic Key but rather someone akin to an anti-hero. Kiro becomes Helios; a cold, methodical man not afraid to use guns and his own power against the enemy. Helios even tricks MC into believing that he has no idea who Kiro is. He actively tricks her just to preserve her good memories of Kiro because there's no way MC could like this cold man, there's no way she could like who he really is. And he does state this a few times, that Helios is the real him even though he seems to almost fear this side of himself. It is MC who had to help him learn to connect Kiro and Helios and to not separate himself. He is Kiro and Helios.
This could almost be compared to Adrien's relationship to Chat Noir. Expect, rather than fearing this other side, he actively chooses Chat Noir over Adrien in most instances. He actively believes Chat Noir to be his true self and does not respond well to being turned away as Chat. This could be interesting and a great way to cause, not only outside conflict, but inner conflict. But this is not even explored. One could argue Kuro Neko did it explore it. But it really didn't. Instead of focusing on who Chat Noir is it, instead, chose to focus on how much Chat Noir loves Ladybug and how she needs him there for... no reason? No, seriously. They give absolutely no good arguments as to why she shouldn't just keep Catwalker around. The one good argument they possibly had they didn't even use. And that was that he freaking distracts her. No, instead their argument here is that he's "too perfect", whatever that freaking means. Excuse me? I believe, since your whole city is at freaking risk, that's exactly the kind of individual you'd want for the job. Never mind you want Chat Noir back for your own personal reasons (whatever those are because they do a very poor job communicating it). Why the freak would anyone turn away someone that's "too perfect"? The only reason I can think of is if she's suspicious of him but she so obviously isn't. They don't even try to explain why Adrien should even keep Chat Noir around if he's apparently only argumentive, not taking anything seriously, and effectively just another member of the team based on the visuals alone. The only thing keeping Chat around is cataclysm. That is it. And that's such a weak argument to stand on when literally anyone else could wear that ring. But no, that can't happen because we have to keep the status quo, I guess. That Ladybug is awesome and Chat is there to just make us laugh and give her an inspiring speech every season finale.
You know what's great about Kiro and Helios? That the narrative doesn't demonize Helios like Kiro does. It goes out of its way to show you how Helios is just as important as Kiro!
I don't get why it's so hard to just show that Chat Noir is just as important to Ladybug as Adrien without having to reference cataclysm or that it's because he's Adrien. How about it's because he's Adrien and Chat Noir? Why are the writers so afraid to merge these two together as if they aren't the same person. Heck, you even have one episode where you do just that but it's a what if episode so it's therefore non-consequential! And I hated Ephemeral but at least it bothered to do that despite pretty much every other episode tackling a similar issue absolutely refusing to do so! But this also required Marinette finding out he was Adrien and then only coming to love Chat that way. Which isn't entirely horrible but it just feels kind of shallow. I would have much preferred she realized she liked Chat but didn't want to "betray" Adrien in her mind so she refused to acknowledge it and then this reveal allowed her to combine the two and except that she has the best of both worlds. In many ways the romance of MLQC lends itself well to the character of Kiro/Helios but the romance of Miraculous seems to fight against the character of Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir. Probably because Kiro and MC's relationship feels like she (and the writers) have fully accepted and loved who he is where Adrien and Marinette's relationship feels like her (and the writers) love only one side of him and the other part is kind of just a small bonus. Oh, but don't worry this works the exact opposite way. Where Kiro actively loves MC, all of her (even though she can be kind of stupid), Adrien over here seems to only freaking like Ladybug. Like, yeah, he's nice to Marinette and he blushes around her occasionally but oftentimes that just feels like he's only blushing because their in oddly intimate positions often for some unknown reason. And also because he likes her as a friend. In Chat Blanc it feels like as soon as he realizes Marinette is Ladybug he suddenly recognizes this out of no where crush (that was barely hinted at). With Kiro he fell in love with MC first, before he found out she was a badass and then he fell even harder. Which makes it all the more ironic that he's willing to except all of her, even her flaws, but he can't seem to do the same for himself. In fact, Kiro even fell in love with MC in a similar way Chat did for Ladybug. MC was his hero. Someone who saved him and others by constantly being around to cheer people up despite the very dark situations of their childhood (which I won't get into because again, I'm trying not to spoil too much here). But that went from just outright admiration to genuine love. Chat's crush feels like he's just been holding Ladybug up on a pedestal the whole time except for kind of near the end of season 4 which I'm not sure why it had to take him that long.
I am not asking for Adrien to be exactly like Kiro. I am asking for him to feel like a sturdy character like Kiro. I am just trying to show that despite the similarities Kiro's character was able to find success where Adrien's character seems to only find failure. Kiro is most definitely not a perfect character. No character is ever perfect. But that's why we love them, isn't it? Because they're imperfect? So why can't the ml writer's seem to pull Adrien out of that bubble? Just let him be selfish without somehow justifying it! Also, keep in mind that this is just my interpretation of Kiro based on my experience with the game and anime. Some of this could totally be wrong or misinterpreted but it speaks volumes I am able to come up with all of this about his character based on what little I know yet for Adrien I have to compare him to characters to even try to explain why he annoys me! But that's just one of the successful characters I could compare Adrien to. The next part I'm going to talk about Gavin, also from Mr Love: Queen's Choice, and see how he also compares to Adrien.

bullets and blood - helios (ml;qc)
Tumblr media
pairing: helios x reader
genera: fluff
summery: running from the cops with helios. that’s it.
word count: 1,409
notes: hbd kiro!! i know that kiro’s birthday was yesterday but i still wanted to post something to celebrate 👉👈
Tumblr media
The police sirens wailed in the distance, but Helios never once hesitated or slowed down his pace. Instead, he held onto your hand even tighter as you ran through the dirt-filled alleys and tightly packed buildings. The sky was gloomy, blanketed with thick grey clouds. A few large raindrops fell around you gently, creating the illusion of serenity — a striking contrast between the chaos of the moment.
Helios stopped abruptly, catching you off guard and causing you to collide into his shoulder. He could only spare you a glare before returning to his phone and pulling up a map. He skillfully layed out a route for you to follow to safety, but as soon as he was about to grab your wrist again, you heard footsteps behind you.
“Stop right there!” A voice called out.
You turned around only to be met with a young man in a police uniform and the cold gleam of the muzzle of a gun pointing straight at you. The man’s stern eyes pinned you in place, unable to move.
You felt like a deer in headlights.
You suddenly felt Helios’ grip tighten around your wrist before he pulled you into a sprint. You heard the gun fire a few times and tried to duck down to get out of the raining bullets, but only ended up falling — and almost dragging Helios down with you at that. He grabbed at your arm and quickly pulled you back up to your feet.
“Go! Run!” He commanded sternly.
With that, he stopped and took out his own gun before firing a few shots. You could hear the police sirens growing louder, no doubt the officer had called for backup.
“Helios, you—“
“Get outta here.”
Before you could protest he looked back at you with a grim glare, leaving you no room to argue whatsoever. It wasn’t like you could do anything to help him anyway, so you just kept on running. It tore you up inside — seeing him handle all this danger by himself and not even being able to help. Instead, you just fled like a coward.
There was a commotion behind you before you heard another shot being fired and sudden intense pain in your lower leg.
You let out a yelp of discomfort but continued to run, rounding corners and further burying yourself in these maze-like allies. You kept on doing so until the police sirens were barely heard in the distance. You found a little shed on the side of a building. It was stale and rickety and smelled like old vegetables, but it was enough to protect you from the incoming danger.
After you settled down in the protection of the shed, your thoughts started to race. What happened to Helios? Did he make it out safely? What if he got shot? But suddenly, everything was cut short with the mind-numbing pain in your leg. With trembling fingers, you carefully rolled up your legging to find blood dripping down the side of it. There was a bullet wound that grazed the side. You couldn’t see exactly how deep the wound was, but that only frightened you more. It seemed the adrenaline was wearing off too, because with each passing second the pain grew heavier and heavier.
It was only until a knock sounded that you finally tore your eyes away from the injury. The door of the shed swung open and Helios appeared before your eyes, a halo of light surrounding him and making him look almost angelic.
“You look like an injured animal, all curled up in here,” he said upon seeing you.
…almost angelic.
Still, you couldn’t stay angry at his feisty remarks for long as the questions returned to your brain all at once.
In the end, the only thing you blurted out was, “are you okay?”
Helios scoffed as he entered the shed before he closed the door and crouched beside you. The tight space plunged into darkness.
“Why are you always so worried about me? Don’t you have your own problems to worry about?” He ignored your question, instead, he pulled up a flashlight on his phone, “Come here, let me see your leg.”
Hesitating, you carefully scooched over to Helios, being cautious so as to not graze your leg against anything. He shone the flashlight on your injured spot and you flinched upon seeing the amount of blood. You opted to look the other way while he inspected it closely. You felt his cool fingertips skim the other side of your leg and you could feel your heartbeat speed up at his gentle touch.
“It’s fine,” he said after a while, “you’ll live.”
You looked back at Helios, “are you sure? It looks pretty bad to me…”
“Hey, I said that you’ll live, not that you were gonna keep your leg.”
Your posture stiffened at his words. It wasn’t until you heard his chuckle that you finally realized something and calmed down.
“Relax. I’m just teasing you. So gullible.”
You then heard the tearing of fabric, followed by a shuffling noise.
“Did we lose them?” You asked after a moment of silence.
“Yeah, we did. Although we have to stay here longer until we can be sure we’re safe. Hold still.”
You felt Helios wrap a black piece of fabric around the bullet wound, which probably came from his top. You clawed at the rigid boards below you to stifle a cry of pain as he quickly worked to cover up your injury with the cloth, finishing it off with a cute-looking bow.
“There, that should prevent any infections from getting in. But we’ll have to get you to a hospital later, just to be sure,” he spoke.
You finally let out a sigh of relief, “thank you, Helios.”
He rolled his eyes, “whatever. Just make sure you don’t get into situations like this again. I won’t save you a second time.”
With that, Helios pulled out his phone and started typing away.
The rain had stopped at some point and the sky gradually turned dark. The last golden rays of the sun seeped through the cracks in the walls of the shed, as if reaching out to you in a final farewell before the darkness settled.
You let out a yawn, feeling your eyelids getting heavier. The temperature dropped quite a bit and you began to shiver a little. Upon seeing your pitiful form, Helios shook his head lightly. The next second his heavy winter coat fell over your shoulders, enveloping you in his scent.
“Hang on a little longer. I can see them on the cameras. They’re just a few blocks down.” He said.
You glanced over his shoulder in curiosity. He hesitantly angled his phone toward you to give you a better view.
“It’s okay. You said it yourself, I’ll live. I’m just a bit tired.”
The dull pain in your leg was still there, but you tried to focus instead on Helios’ calm breathing and the warmth that was emitting from him.
“You should try to get some rest. We might need to stay here for a while longer,” he spoke.
You nodded lightly and then carefully rested your head on his shoulder. You looked over to examine his expression, and when you found that there was no sign of protest, you gently sighed and closed your eyes.
You slowly relaxed with Helios’ reassuring presence beneath your head. You felt safe from everything with him, even the coldness of the night. Maybe somewhere in the distance impending danger was waiting for you, and you were sure that the future held much more of it. But for now, you felt content with this intimate little space you have created. And you were sure that later, the future will worry for itself.
“Hey..?” Helios gently called your name, “are you asleep?”
All he was met with was your calm breathing.
He looked down at your face. Your eyelashes quivered lightly but with one reassuring squeeze on your hand, all nightmares seemed to dissipate into oblivion. It was something he never understood — how come someone as dangerous and ruthless as himself bring so much reassurance and comfort to you? Why did you seem to adore and support him even though he wasn’t Kiro the Perfect Superstar? Perhaps he would never know.
“Sleep,” he spoke softly before carefully kissing the top of your head, “I’ll be here when you wake up.”

[CN] Kiro's Unbiased Mirroring Mind's Quest (Part 2)
🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a date that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸
Tumblr media
[Note: This date was translated with the help of Google Translate]
Note: In order to better engage with this date, please read the main story (Season 1 at least), Clinic Date, and Unconditional Surrender Mind's Quest :>
Read Part 1: HERE
——*:・゚✧——*:・゚✧——
[PART 4]
MC: I'm home!
MC: Apple Box, you forgot to wipe your feet again! Kiro, help me get the towel, please!
Before Apple Box could run into the house, I grab him and call out into the house.
Kiro: Wait a minute!
After a while, the sound of footsteps begin to grow louder. I lower my head and pick up the scattered fur off of Apple Box and stretch out my hand towards the owner of the footsteps.
MC: Please help me, I can't ever trust Apple Box to wipe his feet... Huh?
Tumblr media
I finally find something to be off in my peripheral vision. When I look up, I see Helios' face.
He is dressed in all black and fully armed, as if he is about to go out.
MC: Where are you going...?
Helios: I need to wrap up the BS stuff from the day before yesterday. This'll make it easier to move around.
Tumblr media
MC: Oh~ so you're going to be a "bad guy" again.
After that night, I couldn't stop myself from teasing him like this. Sure enough, Helios raises his eyes towards me.
Helios: What sort of "bad guy" would hold a dog and wipe its feet?
Apple Box: Woof!
Apple Box responds as well. Helios holds up its paws and makes an attacking gesture at me.
Tumblr media
Helios: If you use that term to tease me again, I will get angry.
MC: Hmph, you can't do anything to me when you're angry. The most outrageous thing that happened was the night before yesterday.
Helios arches his eyebrows a bit after hearing my provocation, as if my retaliation surprised him, and then raises the corners of his mouth.
Helios: Why do I feel... like Miss Chips has gotten a lot more arrogant towards me since that night?
I feel the same way.
After the night, there was indeed a small invisible stone that we both kicked away in tacit agreement.
While there's obviously no change in our dynamic, he seems to be a lot more relaxed than before.
I wipe off Apple Box's last paw and hand him the towel.
MC: Yep, I think a certain someone is satisfied with me as I am now.
Tumblr media
MC: Go on~~ Wash the towel before you head out.
Tumblr media
Helios: ......
Helios' throat freezes and he narrows his eyes - I have to admit that his current threatening look is indeed a bit more intimidating than Kiro's.
But only a little bit, I internally chastise myself.
We look at each other for about three seconds. Helios obediently takes the towel and goes into the bathroom to clean it.
He rinses out the water and turns around to glare at me.
Tumblr media
Helios: I will find a way to "pacify" you.
Tumblr media
MC: Yeah, okay~ But before you pacify me, don't forget to kiss me when you go out.
I naturally pucker my lips at him and Helios leans down. Just as our breaths are about to merge, he suddenly steps away.
Tumblr media
Helios: ....It's time for the bad guy to go.
A chuckle passes by my ears, and the person in front of me quickly slips out the door. I am left momentarily stunned.
MC: KI! RO!!!
-
Is it possible that that night turned on some strange switch between us?
After Helios leaves, I lay on the sofa and watch TV absentmindedly, replaying the experiences from the past few days in my mind.
It constantly feels like we've gone from accommodating each other to competing with each other.
But this change of dynamic isn't annoying, but more...
Tumblr media
MC: ...Tantalizing?
I can't help but cover my face after muttering that word and toss around a couple of times on the sofa.
The cell phone besides me suddenly vibrates twice, and Kiro's text message pops up.
I open the page and find a review link for a private club and a newly opened arcade.
Kiro: Which one do you want to go to?
MC: Are you done?
Kiro: Not yet, I'm currently beating someone up and texting you with one hand.
MC: ?? Kiro, why are you using force to solve things again?
Kiro: Under special circumstances, would you like me to give you a voice call for you to listen to?
Before I can reply, I get his incoming voice call.
MC: ....!
I subconsciously press the connect button and carefully hold the phone away.
??: Boss, what you're doing is completely contrary to our philosophy. Now...
What comes from the receiver isn't a horrifying scream, but an impassioned male voice speaking. I can't help but let out a sigh.
Helios: Did you hear that?
MC: Are you... in a meeting?
Helios' muffled laughter overwhelms the man's voice and reaches my ears.
Helios: Uh-uh. It's been going on for almost two hours.
MC: Then you lied to me about beating someone up!
Helios: I am beating them up.
Helios: Every time I hold a meeting, nothing comes from it except for intrigue, rhetoric and slogans. I beat them all up a hundred times in my mind.
MC: Pfft--
Helios doesn't even lower his voice when he says this. I can clearly hear the choking of a male voice, along with a low laugh coming from the side (A/n: Obviously Hephaestus, HAHA).
??: No one ever takes calls from outsiders at BS meetings. Helios, don't go too far!
Helios: Really? Then I'll be the first.
Helios: Also, the person on the phone is no outsider. Isn't that right, Queen?
Hearing his nervous and cold tone, all I can do is think about how funny and cute he was being, and I'm unable to keep myself from singing along with him.
Tumblr media
MC: That's right, how can I be considered an outsider!
Helios: So, how does the "wife" think I should retort to that gentleman just now?
MC: There's nothing to refute. You're the Boss, let him listen to you!
Helios: Okay. [To the others] Queen says she wants you all to listen to me, so shut up.
Helios: [back to MC] Is there something else you wish to convey?
MC: Get off work quickly. A two-hour meeting is already long enough!
Helios: No problem, it'll be over now.
Helios: Don't forget to choose a date location for me.
After hanging up the phone, I carefully look at the two links he sent and send him a reply.
MC: Let's go to the arcade.

Tumblr media
Even after I arrive at the arcade, my mind is still preoccupied with that phone call from earlier.
The fact is that Kiro rarely ever engages in such provocative high-profile things. He's always had the habit of shouldering responsibility alone first, and then asking me for my opinion.
As long as I show the slightest bit of hesitation or trepidation, he would retreat back to the safest boundary.
And now, when he gives orders to those people without warning, he keeps reminding me of the confession he made while holding my hand on the airship. (Reference to Unconditional Surrender Mind's Quest :>)
The same bravery, the same fearlessness.
I suddenly understand all the love scenes in those third-rate novels and tv shows that I often scorned.
--Turns out that this is really exciting!
I cough and try hard to control my expression so as to not let passers-by notice my mood being on a high.
I feel inexplicably good, and the wait is no longer as boring.
I put in coins and play for a while, but unfortunately I get nothing. So I send a message to Kiro.
MC: I clawed a bunch of air. Waiting for Master Kiro to come and help~
Three minutes later, I send a second message.
MC: This video arcade just opened. There are very few people...
After another five minutes, I sent a third message.
MC: I just took a look at the traffic conditions. Seems like there's a traffic jam. You don't need to worry~
Another ten minutes pass by... Kiro doesn't reply to single message.
Those high-strung emotions begin to ebb, and I become increasingly anxious about waiting. My thoughts involuntarily wander--
Besides the meeting today, did he have anything else to do?
But he was injured before, so he shouldn't be going overboard, he...
I lean against the claw machine. After ten minutes pass after the agreed upon time, unable to hold myself back any longer, I press the call button.

[Memory Silhouette]
In the massive conference hall, the stagnant atmosphere slowly fills the air.
Hephaestus: It's "just" a laboratory for marginal projects, so shut it down and sell it as soon as possible? How generous of you guys.
BS Member: It's not you who invested money and manpower into it. There are many people eyeing this piece of meat, all competing with us.
BS Member: Why not let them have this small profit and use the money to do more profitable business? Wouldn't it be better to support the long-term development of BS?
Hephaestus: What kind of business is so profitable? It wouldn't "happen" to be covered by your industry again, would it?
As soon he finishes speaking, the man throws the document down and turns to Helios like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
Everyone's eyes are instantly focused on the person in charge.
Helios casually leans back in his chair, twirling his dagger in one hand. His cold eyes do not even focus on the man.
He has long grown tired of these boring conflicts of interest.
Tumblr media
Helios: I have nothing to say.
BS Member: That... why?
Helios: Too much nonsense and no focus.
Helios: I don't care what sort of blueprint you have. If you don't have anything practical to say, it's better to keep your mouth shut.
As he speaks, he hooks his dagger with his fingertips and slowly places it on the table. Then he raises his gaze and glances at the man coldly.
Helios: Otherwise, no matter how passionate your tone is, it'll just be an incompetent excuse.
The air becomes quiet, and he vaguely hears the members of BS taking a breath.
BS Member: Understood, I will report a more elaborate plan right now.
An impassioned report sounds again in the conference hall. Unfortunately, the part that implied interests is mixed with too much uncertainty. Helios almost hears through one ear and out the other.
He misses her voice a little.
He taps on his cell phone to send a message to MC, and after receiving a satisfactory response, he directly gives her a call.
BS Member: So you see, Boss--
Helios: Rejected.
BS Member: Boss, what you are doing is completely contrary to our philosophy. Now...
The call connects, and the girl's voice drowns out the man's noisy retort.
Tumblr media
Helios: Did you hear that?
Helios can't stop himself from curling his lips when he hears MC respond. Compared to the obscure noises of the meeting, her voice is as clean as a clear spring.
Helios: Every time I hold a meeting, nothing comes from it except for intrigue, rhetoric and slogans. I beat them all up a hundred times in my mind.
The report immediately stops. From the corner of his eyes, he can tell that everyone in the conference hall is obviously shaken. Even Hestia has stopped recording, and Hephaestus can't help but laugh.
The boring meeting reaches its climax, leaving him very staisfied.
So the two of them continue to tacitly sing along, cutting off the meeting in time before it turned into a farce of mutual criticism.
Tumblr media
Helios: Okay. Queen says she wants you all to listen to me, so shut up.
Of course, the consequences of making such shocking remarks are subject to a lot of discussion, bringing rise to new topics in the conference hall. Phrases such as "out of line" and "arrogant" are often heard from time to time.
Out of line? All he wants is to be out of line.
Helios nonchalantly holds his phone to his ear, seeming to appear particularly attentive.
Tumblr media
Helios: Don't forget to choose a date location for me.
Everyone: ......
This sentence successfully puts an end to the final discussion. Only Hephaestus is unaffected by the uncomfortable atmosphere and shows a mischievous smile.
After hanging up the phone, Helios stands up under everyone's astonished gazes, passes the person giving the report, walks through the extra large conference table and heads straight for the door.
When he passes by Hephaestus, he casually mentions.
Helios: Give me the minutes of the meeting later. If you don't see a breakthrough, break it yourself.
That one sentence makes his position clear. Hephaestus nods, but some members speak up anxiously from behind him.
BS Member: But it's best to have the Boss in charge of the meetings... Are you in a hurry?
Helios doesn't stop, he opens the door and walks out. Only a cold and arrogant voice sounds from afar.
Tumblr media
Helios: I'm going on a date.
——*:・゚✧——*:・゚✧——
[PART 5]
Tumblr media
Beep-- beep--
The long busy tone strikes my eardrums again and again. As soon as the call finally connects, I speak hurriedly.
MC: Kiro, where are you right now? Why haven't you replied to any of my texts?
As soon as blurt out those words, I realize how off they sounded. After all, it's not like I waited long, so I quickly add on.
MC: I don't mean to rush you, but I'm afraid something might have happened to you on the way...
Helios: Why did Kiro's and Miss Chips' calls become about us worrying about each other again?
Helios interrupts my confession, his voice rising with obvious laughter.
Helios: Well, Obviously the way you spoke to Helios before made you seem very domineering. If I didn't know better, I would've thought there were two Miss Chips switching back and forth.
MC: I...
I am left speechless for a moment. After being treated like this by him, I seem to find that I have some "deferential treatment".
While I feel a little guilty, I can't help but be harsh.
MC: I'm not that sophisticated... I was obviously talking to Kiro, okay?
MC: Do you prefer me when I speak rudely?
Helios: I like your frankness.
He gives me a very straightforward answer.
Helios: Remember what I told you before? That I was worried I didn't give you enough security? (Reference to Unconditional Surrender)
MC: Mm, of course I remember.
He and I have been groping for a solution to this problem, and now, I have a vague feeling that we are close to finding it.
Helios: When you make requests and frankly express your emotions to me, I feel like you're giving all of yourself to me.
Helios: The good, the bad...
Helios: And me taking over all of this is what Kiro really wants to do.
Helios: So tell me, what are your true first thoughts that you want to convey to me?
MC: I....
You can be willful, you can be less scrupulous, and give yourself entirely to him.
I take a deep breath and purse my lips.
MC: I think it's annoying that Kiro hasn't replied to my messages for a long time. I'm growing impatient waiting!
MC: You should explain yourself to me immediately and coax me!
Helios: Hahahahahaha!
Unbridled laughter resounds from the other side. A long time passes before he stops, but his voice is still lilting.
Helios: You're really bad-tempered. That's nice.
Helios: Well... I originally skipped the meeting and wanted to rush over to meet you, but as soon as I got in the car, I was stopped by someone careless.
Helios: However I did follow your instruction and avoided using force myself. Instead I used the power of being the Boss to send them away.
Helios: The atmosphere was so tense at the time that I didn't pay attention to my phone for a moment. So I missed the messages you sent.
Abrupt music mixes into the receiver, accompanying his explanation, as if he was quickly walking through a noisy hallway.
Helios: Fortunately, I didn't miss your call.
Helios: And that concludes my report. Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with it, Miss MC?
MC: So-so.
I hum twice, already sweet and sour bubbles floating around in my heart.
MC: Now it's your turn. After all, you caught on to my feelings, and I need to take care of you.
MC: Kiro, what are your first thoughts?
Helios: Mine?
Tumblr media
The sound of the music is clear, and it gradually overlaps with the tune coming from the game console next to me.
I'm not left with much time to put down my phone by the time that familiar breath approaches me.
Helios: When I went out, I still owed you a kiss.
Helios: It's time I made up for it.
A hand covers my eyes.
The shallow pecks have Kiro's taste, but as his entanglement deepens, it gradually turns into a more sensational request.
He ensnares me, trapping me between the machine and his arms, leaving me unable to retreat. All I can do is make do within this square inch of space.
--This isn't the way to kiss when out in public.
My fingers are a little weak and I can hardly hold the phone, so I give up struggling and grab his collar.
Leather, unfamiliar, not a style he often wears.
My covered sight makes it impossible for me to distinguish whether the one kissing me was the golden one or the silver one.
But no matter which one it is, it is Kiro who I love.
At some point, the music above my head has changed, and it seems like a century passes before he lets go of my lips.
With my sight clear, I see Helios' face.
I lick my moist lips, and when I speak, my voice sounds so hoarse that it surprises me.
MC: That... was not your first thought.
Helios: What was?
MC: That you owed me.
No hesitation. I have nothing to worry about around him. I repeat this silently in my mind and grab his collar a little harder.
MC: ...You didn't change back to Kiro's appearance. Is it to make dating easier?
Helios: No.
Helios stares at me, his eyes full of calm.
Tumblr media
Helios: I feel that both Kiro and Helios belong to me, so I can show you whichever side I want.
I chuckle and raise my eyebrows at him.
MC: How are you going to show it? Or are you going to show me some Kiro style cuteness first?
Tumblr media
Helios: .....
Helios: You really seem to be getting more and more devious.
Tumblr media
MC: But you already admitted that you like me like this.
I answer confidently. My fingers loosen his collar and at the same time, slowly slide up his throat, along with his breathing.
MC: Are you really not going to show me my sun god?
MC: I'd love to see it.
Tumblr media
His Adam's apple, against which my fingertips are pressed, violently slides up and down. Helios' blue eyes turn into a deeper indigo under the refraction of the light.
Helios: It's a bit weird to act cute with this face, can I ask for a compromise?
MC: What do you want to change?
He restrains my rebellious hand, and before I have time to react, I find myself falling into his arms.
Some overbearing friction renders me unable to move, and his playful laughter kisses the shell of my ear.
Tumblr media
Helios: It's inconvenient to show it in an arcade, so I'll tell you another date location.
