“I might be in love with you.”
How they realized they were in love.
ft. Xiao, Wanderer
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Xiao:
When you held him amidst his karma.
The most interesting part of the tale? You weren't there. But he saw you. Even through the fights with himself and the surrounding darkness, he saw you— the way your sleeves fell loose on your shoulders, the way your feet glided along a garden of lilies and the way the silk and linen of your clothes weaved around your body. Even when he felt his body shatter in vigorous pain, Xiao saw the luminous glow of the moonlight reflecting off of your skin. The scenery of the dark, star-filled sky with the vibrant glaze lilies surrounding you had crafted such a beautiful picture in Xiao's head that, when he snapped back to reality, he could no longer feel the hurt. There was simply you. He couldn't see you, but he thought of you, and, even with his loyalty to Rex Lapis, he still smiled, thanking you for saving him from his karmic outburst.
But, wait a minute.
You weren't even there? How did you save him? Xiao pondered back on the image he created in his mind. It definitely wasn't something he saw, and it definitely isn't something happening now. It is night, but it is far too dark. The vibrancy of the moonlight is not present, and the bright, shining stars are instead clouded by fog and translucent mist. He definitely couldn't picture you outside right now, especially at this hour.
Hold on. What if you really were out? He is on Wuwang Hill, so of course it's foggy. What if it was brighter for you? What if the moonlight found its way to you instead?
What if that vision of you was real?
Without a second thought or consideration for his duties, he teleported to the balcony of Wangshu Inn, where he could have the possibility of seeing you, and indeed, he did see you. He teleported to a tree that stood by you, leaning on it. The remaining pain of the karma seemed to whisk away, yet his heart beat hastened. Something about how you brushed your finger against the bulb of a sweet flower made him smile.
“Xiao?” You whispered, and he swore he could feel the sun rioting the moon and rising amidst the darkness of the night.
“You called?”
“Oh!” You nearly jumped out of your skin. “That was unexpected. You actually came!”
“Of course I did. I made a promise to you, and I will honor it.”
A smile fell upon your face, and Xiao froze in place.
“Especially because it's me, I presume?”
“Wh—” Roses blossomed on his cheeks, and his heart exploded into petals.
“I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to walk home with me? I haven't seen you in a while, so maybe we could catch up?”
“Uh–m, I— Sure. That would be... Quite nice.”
“Oh, wow, you actually said yes!” You cheered, and Xiao's eyes glistened. It was perfect, this moment, because the clouds dispersed, and the stars and moon finally found themselves visible, shining through the clouds. You've conquered the spotlight tonight, and you've conquered Xiao's world, even if he couldn't tell.
But, you extended your hand to Xiao. This was just like his illustration of you from earlier, but he was now included. The moonlight reflected on your skin, your clothes weaved magically across your body, and surrounding the two of you were a field of flowers.
Xiao, without much thinking, grasped your hand tight, and you held it, too.
He felt a bloom in his heart, and the world around him brightened. Even as you were talking, he couldn’t pay attention to a word you said. You were graceful, and he felt the strangeness in the way your fingers interlocked with his.
You weren't holding him, really, but you held him somehow. In fact, you stole him away from the old world he lived in, introducing him to something new, something unique.
And in that moment, somewhere in the combination of his mind and heart swelled, sweeping in to tell him and make him realize that he was in love.
That he was in love with you.
Wanderer:
When you fell ill for the sake of him.
Kuni remembers it. His birthday came soon, and because it never snowed in Sumeru, the flowers still found themselves vibrant. Though, something in him found you to be more colorful and much more appealing to look at than a few colored petals and a stem, yet he could never bring himself to admit it; his pride would shatter and you would become giddy, and— if there was finally a heart to replace his hollow body— he would feel a twinge in his chest and an ache in the hollow shell of himself. Kuni figures that, because he has no heart, he is therefore heartless, meaning that this twinge in his chest can not be love like Nahida had suggested time and time again. Rather, this ache symbolized a feel of annoyance. After all, if he did have a heart, how would he be able to mercilessly kill so many people and commit so many sins?
Yet, he would catch you again and again, plucking the most beautiful, rare, and exotic flowers in Sumeru. Many of which were far too dangerous to even obtain, and that was something he realized far too late. He trusted you slightly. Actually, he didn't trust you. Kuni trusted Tighnari because you have consulted the expert many times about the flowers you picked.
But, one day, you fell ill. It wasn't due to the flowers or anything similar, but due to the weather. Kuni had been coincidentally passing by for a research project, and he stumbled upon you by a hillside, unconscious, bleeding, and sickly. You were lucky enough to forget your basket of flowers, meaning you hadn't lost any of your previously collected ones, but you were still quite unlucky. It was pouring, and atop a hill was a beautiful kalpalata lotus flower. It wasn't a terrible walk, except you were sick, and you ended up slipping and falling to what could've been your doom.
The moment Kuni saw you, he paid no mind to the flowers, nor did he care at all about his research. He needed to help you, and he, as quickly as he could, flew you over to Gandharva Ville, where he almost screamed for forest rangers to come and help you.
As you laid on the bed unconscious, Kuni stayed with you. He never left your side once.
And then you woke up.
“...What?” The pain in your head wrung from side to side, front and back. Your nose was significantly stuffier. Kuni, happy and terrified, immediately rushed over to you.
“Idiot! What were you doing out there?” He yelled, holding back the urge to punch himself for not finding you sooner, “You could've died from that sort'a height!”
“Sir, please, lower your voice. Y/N's healing process could falter if you don't shut up.” Tighnari hissed, and the two glared at each other.
“Fine, sorry. But still, what were you thinking? My birthday or whatever isn't that big a deal, and it's really not worth your damn life.” Kuni sat down on the stool next to the bed, and you looked down at the provided blankets.
“I mean, I'm not dead,” you conjure up a smile and hold in a cough, “but yeah. That was sort of stupid, but it would've been worth it if I did get you the flower.”
“What? You're mentally insane.”
“I could be.”
“That's— That's so stupid!” Why do all of that... for me? Kuni feels his chest ache again.
“Oh, it was. But hey, I'm really stupid when it comes to you.”
“What?” Kuni's eyes furrow, and Tighnari almost slams his head into the desk after hearing that.
“I mean that I'm literally stupid for you. Why else would I leave and get flowers when it's raining and when I'm sick?”
Something clicks in Kuni's head. He saw some of his peers in class talk about this phrase and suddenly connect it to some girl who was in love with a guy and...
Wait.
“I'm leaving. I'll be back— you'd better be conscious!”
“I can't guarantee that, but I'll try.”
Kuni leaves the room, frustrated. Nahida has said that he likes you, his peers have said the same thing, and maybe...
“I'm literally stupid for you.”
“That idiot..” He smiles, looking through the window to see you talking to Tighnari, who appears to be scolding you for being so careless with your health. Kuni holds in a chuckle and turns around. His ache resurfaces in his chest, and he grips the part of his top that covers his 'heart'.
Maybe, just maybe—
“I'm making a bouqet for you on your birthday!”
—maybe he is in love with you.

Tommy manhandling Buck all over his apartment (casually picking him up because he can, wrestling him to pin him to the bed, Buck curling into Tommy and reaching for him and just needing to feel held, Tommy pressing him against counters and walls to kiss him until he's all weak and pleading)
Okay. So.
Tumblr media
The first time it happens, Buck can't help letting out this surprised little squeak. Tommy's strong, he knows that. But Buck's a big guy, he's used to doing the manhandling.
So maybe Tommy stayed over the night before and now Buck is in the kitchen, peering into the fridge as he talks about what to have for breakfast. He's in a pair of sweatpants that sit low on his hips and his chest and feet are bare. And as tempting as that sight is, Tommy's eyes keep straying to Buck's ridiculous bed head and the way the sunshine streaming in from the windows catches in his curls.
Tommy can't help it. He needs to touch.
He goes round the kitchen counter and gently shuts the fridge. Buck's about to grumble—because, hello, hungry—but Tommy cuts him off with a kiss.
Alright, so maybe breakfast can wait.
And things are starting to get heated. Tommy uses his weight to press Buck back against the fridge and his hands have threaded themselves into Buck's hair. The contrast between the cold of the fridge and Tommy's big, warm body makes Buck shiver, and he wraps his arms around Tommy even more tightly, pressing right up close against him.
Tommy's hands begin to wander. They slip lower and lower until they're cupping Buck's ass, and he uses the grip to grind their hardening cocks together. It's a dizzying feeling and Tommy doesn't think before lifting Buck into his arms and carrying him the short distance to the kitchen counter.
"Shit," Buck squeaks, arms tightening around Tommy even further, and not letting go even after Tommy's set him down.
Oops.
"Was that okay?" Tommy asks breathlessly, pulling back as much as he can to check his expression. Buck's wrapped around him like an octopus, eyes wide and lips—pink and glistening and Tommy's thisclose to kissing him again—parted.
It takes Buck a few seconds to answer because... like. Wow. His brain needs a little time to reboot because this is a first that Buck hadn't ever anticipated. Because he's the one who sweeps the girl off her feet. He's the one who has to be mindful of his strength. He's the protector.
It's not the first time that Tommy's turned his world upside down. Buck hopes it won't be the last. He licks his lips as he meets Tommy's gaze.
"Do it again."
Tommy's smile is brighter than the early morning sunshine. It's impossible not to mirror the expression as Buck closes the distance between them again, tasting the joy on Tommy's lips as he kisses him.
It isn't long before Tommy's tugging Buck off the counter and shepherding him back towards the bedroom. He takes every opportunity to push Buck up against the walls and furniture, using his weight to keep him pinned while he luxuriates in the hungry little sounds Buck makes every time he does it. They make it up to the bedroom—each on their own two feet, those stairs are a goddamn death trap and they've both been to too many calls where some lothario has dropped his date on their head—and Buck is grinning, running his palms up and down Tommy's arms, squeezing.
And okay, fine, maybe Tommy's showing off a little bit, but so what? He hasn't missed the dazed, slightly awed, look Buck gets every time Tommy manoeuvres him just how he wants him. So as soon as the bed presses against the back of Buck's knees, Tommy pushes him down onto the mattress. He watches as Buck peers up at him from beneath his lashes, spreading his thighs to make room for Tommy between them.
This fucking kid is going to be the death of him. And what a way to go. So Tommy crawls up over Buck's sprawled out body and takes hold of his wrists, pinning them above his head.
Buck's buzzing, giggling as he gazes up at Tommy. He tests the strength of Tommy's grip and can't help but just marvel at how easily the other man holds him down. He knows that he can free himself if he wanted to, knows that it won't even be a fight because as soon as he says the word, Tommy will let go.
And for the first time, maybe since Abby, Buck feels... safe.
But he's distracted from the fluttering in his chest when Tommy begins to grind down against him, rutting against Buck through their sweatpants. He gasps, eyelashes fluttering, as pleasure flashes through him. It's instinct to pull against Tommy's grip, to try pulling him closer, but Tommy doesn't budge.
Fuck.
So he does the only thing he can. He wraps his legs around Tommy and arches his hips, meeting him thrust for thrust. Tommy grunts above him, warm breath ghosting over Buck's already overheated skin as he picks up the pace, working them closer and closer to orgasm.
It's hot and sticky and kinda gross, and Tommy wouldn't trade it for anything. Tommy peppers kisses up the column of Buck's neck and along his jaw, loving how responsive he is, how he whines and bares his throat for him.
"Come for me, Evan. Come for me now."
He feels Buck shuddering against him, hears his panting breath, and he's so close that it's a kind of agony. But he wants to bear witness to this, to the beautiful way Buck comes undone.
Buck's eyes flutter open after a long moment, and he feels boneless and blissed out. He gazes up at Tommy, at the... fondness in his expression that never fails to make Buck's heart skip a beat. And then he realises—
"You didn't come?"
Tommy smiles ruefully, finally loosening his hold on Buck's wrists to brush an errant curl off Buck's forehead. "I was a little too busy watching you," he admits.
A blush creeps across Buck's face and he ducks his head. He isn't sure what to say to that, can't name the feelings blossoming inside his chest. He opens his mouth to protest because, seriously, he can't be the only one to get off. But Tommy hushes him and presses a kiss to his brow.
"Just let me hold you a little while, yeah?"
He can still feel Tommy's erection pressing into him and uncertainty nags at him. Is Tommy really okay with this? Tommy doesn't give Buck the chance to argue. He rolls over onto his side before pulling Buck along with him, arranging his limbs until he and Tommy are slotted together.
They fit perfectly.
It isn't long before sleep begins to tug at him. He snuggles deeper into Tommy's embrace, tucking his face into the crook of his shoulder and breathing him in.
He has this big, strong, gentle man in his arms, and maybe... maybe it's his turn to be taken care of.

vox x reader ; please?
Tumblr media
Nobody really understood how it happened— it just did one day.
You ended up really hitting it off with the man of Voxtech himself; and wow lookathat, you’re dating him now.
It wasn’t unusual to be waking up in his bed, either. But what something Vox wasn’t used to, was a sunshine personality like yours. Of course you have your devilish charms still, as thats what drew him into you to begin with. But, the small appreciations you had for just about everything? It was weird, right? For a sinner in hell, it was marked as a rare occurrence to see someone like you.
( Other than the Princess of Hell, though she was much more over the top than you were. )
As your eyes opened, surroundings gaining a much clearer focus, you let out a tired little sigh.
There’s a soft buzzing beside you, where Vox was passed out in a deep sleep. It was such a nice state to see him in. Calm, not stressed out and dealing with everyone’s chaotic bullshit.
Honestly, it was nice being awake before everyone else. You could just take in the small beauties of silence before everything got obnoxious.
Your eyes flicker over to the windows, and see a bright neon sign with arrows pointing downward towards its front door.
A brand new building had just opened up, and it was a place you’ve been waiting to check out for a while now. Honestly, you couldn’t contain the excitement. It seemed like it took forever to finish, as most demons tried to overrun it while it was still in a vulnerable state.
With a little gasp, your hand falls to vox’s shoulder, and shake it lightly. “Oh my god, Vox, wake up!”
A static noise enters the air, as a small groan of annoyance leaves the tv screen. “What—”
You smirk, leaning over his shoulder to view his annoyance. “It’s finally open~ we gotta go!”
He heaves out a heavy sigh, turning to lay on his back with a dull, tired expression. “Y/N,”
“Please?” The little pout you made usually got him to do what you wanted, but this time it didn’t. He looked tired and visibly annoyed. Honestly, fair. You did kinda just wake him up in one of the worst ways possible.
“Can you at least let me wake up a little, first?” His lopsided smile made your heart flutter. Fuck, he was just so cute no matter what.
“Okay, fine. Just don’t fall back to sleep.” You fully sit up, crawling over his figure, and hoping to avoid stepping on any part of him in the process of getting off the bed. Standing to your feet on the floor, he **almost** chuckles. “What the hell even is the place you wanna go to, anyway?” His one eye widens out of curiosity over at you.
You roll your eyes, annoyed that he never usually remembered the little things. “The first like, ever, plant shop in hell. Somebody actually got things to grow down here,” you inform, taking a step in front of the mirror. “I think they used, like, human world magic or something.”
Vox sat up, stretching his neck and letting out a little groan. “Since when can anybody just get access to earth?”
You deadpan him briefly, “Does it even matter? I need one.”
He shakes his head, sitting up.
“I don’t know how you can be this happy so early in the morning.” He smiled at you. Holy shit, he actually smiled at how stupid your little obsession with this place was.
“Did— did you just smile~?” You decide to point it out, a smirk curling up to your features.
His eyes widened, body slightly startled at your reaction to him. “What?”
You inch closer to him, a brighter look of excitement as he stares at you in curiosity. “Oh my god you did! I saw you, so there’s no denying it.”
Vox takes on the tv effect to his tone as he looks up at you. “Alright, alright.” He then stands, and you notice how he slightly towers over your idling frame. “Only you can convince me to do shit I normally wouldn’t do.” His screen looks away with an almost embarrassment to it.
Your arms gently slip around his waist, causing him to tense up, arms raising.
“Thank you.” You smirk up at him. It didn’t take much to get him wrapped around your finger.
Vox sighs, lowering his arms, and slinking a hand around your waist. He gently guides you forward into his figure. His little smile comes back, and for a moment, you can actually feel him soften his outer shell with you. “Anything for you, my dear.”

IkeVamp HCs: Beautiful Reader
How do they react when they meet a reader who is one of the most beautiful women they have ever seen?
Suitors: Napoleon, Arthur, Galileo, Drake
Tumblr media
Napoleon
When the woman lost in the halls of the mansion met his gaze, he knew being the woman's protector would be the chore to end all chores.
In this day and age, women already weren't safe. Much less when they looked like they were handcrafted with love and care, the way she did.
He wasn't looking forward to it.
And he himself, though not aloud, found he was curious about the stunning stranger who'd stumbled into his life. He'd seen beautiful women before, but she was on a completely different level.
"I'm going to have my hands full with you, nunuche."
He ruffled her hair with a smirk as she merely blinked at him in confusion.
He would definitely be aware of many eyes on her, admiring, lusting, but they wouldn't get near her when she was with him.
Beautiful as she was, Napoleon knew the risks of letting her be alone for too long...but there were only so many complaints he could have when he was in the company of such a gorgeous madonna. There were worse ways to spend his time.
He's not telling her that directly though. Not in those exact words at least.
Arthur
When he first laid eyes on the maiden fair, he knew life in the mansion would be just a little sweeter.
He had no qualms about saying that to her the first time they met.
"Well now! The stars are shining just a little brighter tonight. Such a bonny lass you are."
His urge to tease her only grew when she reacted with a timid averted gaze, her lovely cheeks painted pink.
He commonly made sure to compliment at least once a day, usually referring to her as the 'Lovely Y/N'.
The author was commonly surrounded by women, but whenever she went anywhere with him, most of them kept their distance, intimidated by the ravishing lady by his side, regardless of the nature of her relationship with Arthur.
"I'm afraid that nobody holds a candle to a heart stopper like you and anybody with eyes knows it."
"Arthur!"
Teasing her just see that cute blush on her beautiful face would be enough to make his day.
Galileo
He wasn't one to generally take much notice of women, though the particular girl ambling through the halls of the university didn't escape his notice.
Galileo knew women could be pleasing to the eye, of course, but that was a fact of life, not something that actually touched him.
But she was objectively the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and he found that slightly disconcerting. Almost as disconcerting as the fact that said woman was not paying attention to her surroundings and was to trip on a loose tile.
He moved quickly, catching her shoulder as she stumbled. When she turned to thank him, her beauty hit him full force from up close as he took her in.
She was a vision of loveliness, an earthly Aphrodite. Her lips parted and her cheeks reddened in embarrassment, only adding sweetness to her visage. She suddenly spoke in a soft tone.
"Erm...thank you sir...that was clumsy of me."
Her voice broke the spell as he let go of her, stepping back. If she had any effect on him, it certainly didn't show.
"Be more careful."
Was his only response before leaving.
He will find himself thinking back to that lovely face from time to time, often when the word 'beautiful' happened to cross his mind.
Drake
When he called to the lone woman passing by the Seine, intending to invite her into his boat, he didn't expect anything out of the ordinary. But when she turned around, his eyes widened as he blinked in surprise.
"Wow. You're beautiful."
Those were the first words out of his mouth, his head tilted in near confusion as the lady blushed at his forwardness.
The man was a sailor that traveled the world and seen different places and people, so he knew a beautiful woman when he saw one. And her? Breathtaking. She could make the hardest of pirates fall at her feet.
When he managed to convince her to take a ride with him, winning her over with his friendly disposition, he playfully told her that getting such a beauty into his boat was risky because alas, he may not return her, much to her amusement.
"Sir, I would appreciate being put on solid ground at some point..."
"Haha, just kidding. You're just so pretty, I want to keep you."
He said with a bright smile, but he was only half joking...
Drake would definitely want to steal her away. Pirates don't just let go of treasure.

cheers to the birthday boy!!
Tumblr media
y.itadori x f!reader — (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚in honor of yujis special day !
*: ・゚- yuji itadori is the type of person who sees his birthday as any other regular day. Growing up his grandfather would only wish him a Happy Birthday, and that’s all he really got the rest of the day. Thus, he never really felt it was any special.
*: ・゚ - But you felt the complete opposite. You’d been friends with yuji for a short amount of time, but he grew really special to you. — He meant everything to you actually.. so how else would you show him that? By throwing him the best surprise party ever of course!
*: ・゚ - Yuji woke up in a daze .. the first thing he did was check his phone to see a text from You, “Get up . We’re going to eat brunch !” Your plan was to keep him outside his dorm as long as possible, so everyone else can set up the decor for later . — “Give me 5 min! i’ll meet you there .” Was all Yuji said before getting ready .
*: ・゚ - “Happy birthday Yuji!” You said randomly while he was chowing down at his food — He was stunned, he really didn’t think you’d even remember his birthday, “is this why you brought me out to brunch?” — “Yes. and because i’ve noticed how much you’re improving skill wise!”
“You deserve it.. really.”
*: ・゚ - All of this was already gonna bring him to tears, he felt so special! “Wow.. i feel so spoiled right now!” He chocked a raspy laugh. He was clearly still waking up..
*: ・゚ - The rest of the day Yuji was by your side like a lost puppy as you took him out to do various activities. This was the most fun he had in a while with somebody else. He was so glad to have spent his day with you.. little did he know you were about to rock his world with the biggest surprise.
*: ・゚ - The both of you were standing right outside his doorway. Yuji was quiet for a second, trying to find the right words to say to you. “Are you okay?” You ask, “Yeah it’s just.. i’m really greatful for today. You really are-“ and as he was opening the door Yuji was interrupted with a roar of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”
*: ・゚ - Colorful Balloons and cake shoved in his face as he nearly fell back on his ass! “A surprise party?! (name) were you also up too this?” — “Duhhh we wouldn’t be here if weren’t for her!” Nobara shouts from the small crowd. Yuji turns to you, and it’s as if his smile couldn’t get any brighter.
*: ・゚ - “You really are the best (name.)”
Tumblr media
— (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ something short and sweet for my bby yuji!! he deserves the bestttt birthday ever

Eating His Prey
author's note: I really wanted to write a fic about Ike, more specifically sadistic and yandere Ike because holy shit it was kinda hot what he was doing sheeeeeesh Summary: Being such a sly (apparently my keyboard wanted to make you slay so you're also very slay) and mischievous little fox you are, you decide to mess around in a wolf's territory. However, you're in for a wild reality check... Contains: degrading oh wow, dom Ike, hes literally using you, and all that spicy stuff mmm
Hunting in the wolf's territory was an adventure within itself, the new terrain and yummy prey was something that you desired very much. Besides, wouldn't be fun to mess around a bit? You are a great predator yourself, enjoying making your prey squeak and cry underneath your arms. You'd drag out their suffering for a good while. It was all fun and games for you.
You are currently traipsing through the forest full of crowded trees, scattered patches of sunlight kissing the grass floor. You finished having a good meal of a rabbit, a cute little thing you almost felt bad for devouring. Your nose quivered, sniffing the air and catching a scent.
Wolf scent. But your senses told you he was away at the moment. You grin, lips pulled back to reveal canine teeth. His little home! Maybe you could get some sort of rabbit shit and litter it all across his home. Maybe you could build a little fort out of sticks for him.
You dart in and out bushes with ease, your feet silently tapping the ground. Your prey hardly ever heard you coming, which was fortunate and unfortunate at once. Unaware little things. Thank god you were an excellent predator and not some weak ass prey!
You find yourself at the mouth of a cave, looking awfully gloomy inside. You sniff once more. Yup, his scent is much stronger here. Without a care in the world, you skip on inside.
It was very dark for a good few feet, your night vision clicking in after a few seconds. Bones lay scattered across the cave floor: skulls, ribs, femurs, arms. Some even arranged in twisted ways, like horrific art. Wolf must be some sort of sick freak. Not like you were anyone to judge. But still. Freak.
But it gradually began to get brighter, and you walk faster, you didn't want to dilly dally after all. You emerge within a bigger room, with a hole on the ceiling like a window. You notice there was no patch of leaves or soft grass for rest (what the fuck does he actually sleep on this hard ass rock? The wolf is literally a psycho) and surprisingly, no weird bone art. Just tallies on the wall, made with his claw you presumed, lining the walls. Several rows after row. What is this? his body count?
Eh. you don't care. You just wanna create a mess out of his home.
You drag some of the bones from the corridor and toss them around. Snapping some in half and creating your own work of art. You giggle as you line up some bones, a picture of a cock on his floor now. Your tail swishes back and forth with excitement. Perhaps you should go back to the riverbed, gather some mud and plaster it all over the wolf's walls. A nice touch to such a bland room.
You turn your head and freeze. Your heart rate increases.
The wolf himself is here, staring you down with golden eyes. Glowing from the darkness, expression blank as he watched you. Caught-red handed. How long was here there anyway? How did you not hear his entrance? as for the smell, his scent was all over the place, and it is very strong. Luck was simply not on your side.
"Well well well," the grey wolf chuckles darkly, sending electricity down your spine. Instinct told you to run your ass out of there, but you froze, out of fear. "What's a little fox doing here in my domain? Wrecking my home, hm?"
You say nothing, eyes glancing behind him. The only exit. A laugh, as he approaches still.
"Since we are going to get very acquainted, my name is Ike Eveland," the wolf says cheerfully and you furrow your brows because what the hell? "And now, answer me this: what gave you the idea to come here? Death wish?"
"...b-because i wanna," your shaky voice replies and you clear your throat. You straighten your body and stare back at him, never backing down. Not too some puny wolf. "I go wherever I want."
Ike tsks at you, stalking closer. "Now now, I like the confidence yes, but do you realise your situation, dear?" He smiles, sharp teeth bared. "I'm going to eat you alive."
Finally, he launches himself at you, claws glinting in the sunlight. Immediately your legs tense and push you, sprinting below him out of the room and into the corridor. Your heart roars in your ears as you run as far as you possibly can out of the cave, breathing heavily.
What a fucking insane little shit! He was definitely a bit smaller than other wolves you met, but something about the way his sinister gaze sent shivers down your spine. You hated to admit it, but the wolf was actually pretty intimidating. His eyes were such a lovely shade of gold though...
You shake your head and keep running, hopping through a small river to make him lose your scent. You turn towards another direction, toward the familiar big tree you liked to lean against when you wanted to think. It was a good distance from the wolf's territory, so you should be fine. Besides, why would Ike come all the way over here for one silly fox? Heh.
You arrive at the foot of the tree and plop down, regaining your oxygen. Damn, you've never ran so much in your life. You curl your fluffy tail around you, plucking out leaves. Your beating heart slowed a bit as relief flooded your veins. That was simply a vibe check from the gods above. You have learned to stay away from there in the near by future, because if you went there again, you wouldn't have a future.
You lean down with the balls of your hand on the grass, stretching with your ass in the air and felt every bone crack in your back. You sigh contently. It has always felt good to do that after a run.
Your ear twitched and a sound of rustling bushes interrupts your stretch. You sit back, suddenly alert. You sniff the air, but only smell your wet fur. You survey your surroundings, and seeing nothing. A squirrel? However, you stayed cautious and kept your ears open.
While you were cleaning your teeth, another sound, the noise of a twig snapping under a huge weight. It is closer to you than before.
With no warning, you high-tail it out of there, not even turning to see who it is because you could already tell by that menacing aura alone. The grey wolf is hunting you.
"Go away!" you shout, shooting through bushes and swerving around thick trees. "Go find some dumb rabbit to devour!"
"You're much more intriguing!" Ike calls, and you're startled by how you can't hear his footsteps and yours is loud as shit. "Let's play a game, huh?"
"I don't play no games!" You snap, diving into a fox hole made from another fox and scurrying through the small tunnel. He couldn't get through because he's too large! ha!
"It'll be fun!" He calls from outside the tunnel. "Let's play hide and seek, little one!" Ike sings, and you find it oddly pretty.
Dude, really?
You shoot out the other end and continue sprinting. Fuck out of here with that hide and seek nonsense!
"I'll be the seeker," Ike says from behind, startling so much you almost stumble. "I'll give you some time to hide!"
His voice fades and you glance over your shoulder. Gone. Kapoof. Finally, holy shit, his presence was getting annoying as shit. Wait. Is he actually going to play hide and seek?
You curse in your mind, running as far as your legs could carry. You pause, chest heaving as you breath rapidly through your mouth. You turn in a circle, attempting to find a good hiding spot. You spy a big tree with a hollow center, obscured by a flower bush. It is right by a river too!
You dive into the hole without delay and try to rein in your breathing. You quickly adjust the bush so it didn't look like it was rammed through. It was not long before you felt that ominous presence again, your tail poofing up instantly.
"Little fox, where are you?" Ike coos from a good distance away. You cover your mouth with both hands. "You're a sly thing, huh? Walking around my own territory like it was your place. Now, it's time to make sure you learn your place."
You press yourself against the wall so hard, the grooves start to imprint on your skin. You're starting to regret your decisions. It seems like the wolf will never let you go until he captures you. You silently pray to whatever gods were listening.
Turns out they were not. They said screw you kiddo you're on your own.
"I will find you," Ike promises, his voice a tad closer. "I can feel your heart. So fast. Am I making you nervous?"
You grind your teeth, stopping yourself from growling. This cocky bastard.
"I tend to get that reaction a lot. I didn't think I was that horrifying, being on the smaller scale," Ike says and you roll your eyes because who the fuck asked? "I give off threatening vibes, supposedly. that's what the last one said anyway."
Huh?
"The last prey I had," the wolf continues, almost as if he just read your mind. "You must've seen the lines on the walls. All animals I've killed and perhaps devour. Sometimes, I kill for the fun of it and leave the carcass for other animals. Oh, how thrilling it is, watching the blood seep onto the floor and the life draining out of their eyes!" Ike sighs and your blood goes cold because it's outside your hiding place. A big hand reaches out to touch the flower in front of you. "Their blood, such a pretty shade of red just like this poppy."
The hand snakes out like a viper and snatches your ankle and you yell, kicking at him but he drags you out of the tree. Still kicking and screaming bloody murder, you kick his face in sheer desperation. His head turned toward another direction but his hand still latched onto your ankle.
"That wasn't very polite," Ike says, his gaze on you and you still. "What's wrong? Sad because you lost?"
"No way!" You claw at his hand but he doesn't budge. Just watches your pathetic attempts. "Let go!"
He leans in close to your face and you halt your actions. His breaths on your face as the wolf holds eye contact with you. The flecked color of brown in his eyes are mesmerizing to look at, entrancing. You swallow hard. Ike's hand slides from your ankle to your knee, to your thigh, sending goosebumps across your skin. He squeezes, his nails digging in slightly and you wince.
"No. You're mine to play with now, cute little fox."
Something about the way his voice went lower, or was it the hand movement? made your heart beat faster, and not in a frightened way. The wolf's hand travels to your hip and your breath hitches, still staring into the eyes of your enemy. The hand goes all the up from your arm, feather light, skins your collarbone and finds itself a new home on your neck. Wrapping his fingers around your delicate neck, Ike begins to squeeze lightly. Still looking down at you with those pretty eyes, hovering over you with such a smirk on his lips.
Ike stops squeezing, evidently surprised. He sniffs the air, but still a hand around your throat, his nose dipping lower. His nose bumps against your thigh and he growls low in his throat, yanking your legs apart. You squeak.
Arousal. Pure arousal, glittering in the light. Ike stares for a moment, still sniffing. His gaze slides back up to you and you stop breathing.
"Little fox..." he says quietly, and excitement jolts up. "Are you... aroused, right now?"
You don't respond, a bit ashamed. Why the hell were you getting horny for the man about to kill you? Who in their right mind-?
You gasp as you feel a hot mouth against your pussy, lapping up the juices with a shocking pace. You whine, struggling to get away but both his hands are on your thighs now, keeping you spread open and down on the grass as he ravaged your pretty little hole.
You tasted so fucking good, more than he could ever imagine! His nose bumps your clit as his tongue glides in and out of your wet hole, making squelching noises. You moan loudly, digging your nails into his scalp as you push him into you. Ike growls, sending more electricity up your spine. His teeth grazes your clit as he suckles the bundle of nerves and you gasp.
"Oh fuck fuck fuck- mph!" You cover your mouth, attempting to muffle your embarrassing sounds.
The wolf stops, narrowing his eyes at you. "Who said for you to hide those pretty noises?"
You bite your lip, legs squirming as the breeze hits your pussy. "I-I, well..."
"Keep our hands. Off. If you do so again, I'll make sure you never do it again, do you understand?"
You nod quickly, getting even more aroused by his threat and you subconsciously think, 'what the FUCK' and he smirks.
Ike eats you out like a wolf starved, fucking and teasing your hole with such accuracy you start to see stars, and watching him eat you like you were the best meal he ever had turned you on even more and you felt your walls clamp around his tongue.
"Good slut," Ike whispers against your clit, sucking on it for a brief moment before sinking his teeth into your thigh, making you yelp. "Horny little thing, for a predator who was going to devour you whole..." the wolf chuckles.
Your slick slathered across his face, buried in you, legs over his shoulders was a sight to see. You moan, "a-ah! Mmm, right there, t-there!" Your toes curl, eyes rolled back as the orgasm comes over in waves, making your body shake from pleasure as you release soft whines. But Ike isn't done, he's just getting started.
A finger pushes itself into you and you gasp yet again. It explores your walls, tickling that one spot. Then another is added, and Ike slowly pumps his fingers into you, watching with fascination as your pussy eagerly swallows his digits. Pulling him in.
"What a fucking whore," he notes, flicking his eyes up at your flushed cheeks and the drool leaking down your chin. "I haven't even put my cock in you yet."
Your walls squeeze around his fingers at the sentence and he laughs darkly. He bites your other thigh, drawing blood as you wince in pain. The wolf quickly laps up your blood with a groan. His fingers pump faster, curling at the right time and you moan in a mix of pain and pleasure.
"Greedy bitch. Do you want me to let you cum?" He asks, gold glowing between your legs. New hickeys flourish all over your inner thighs along with obvious bite marks.
"Yes please," you moan, angling your hips up and he repeatedly hits that delicious spot. "Hah- f-fuck! N-ngh! Pleasepleasepleaseplease... "
Ike pulls his fingers out and you immediately protest but he shushes you. The loss of his fingers inside you was making you insane, until you get filled up by something entirely different.
"O-oh... " you moan quietly, his cock hard inside of you.
"Dumb fox." Ike takes your wrists and pins them above your head as he looks down at you. Your breath hitches. "Dumb, horny fox."
He snaps his hips and you make a guttural sound. Ike's pupils are big, drinking in every single detail from your sweat collecting on your skin, your body squirming underneath him, to your mouth popped open slightly. Oh, and those luscious lips of yours, appearing soft and unkissed...
Might as well make you his new toy now, eh?
Ike smashes his lips into yours as he fucks you fast and hard, shoving his tongue inside your mouth as you open to moan. Tongues dancing together and his muscle exploring every single space within your mouth. You tasted so delicious and felt so delicious, there was no way in hell he was letting you go now.
Satisfied with your bruised lips, the wolf goes to mark your neck. Biting, kissing, sucking. Your legs wrapped around his waist as he digs his nails into you. Tears running down your face as you hiccup, crying and saying "it's too much, it's too much'.
Ike could not give a damn. You brought this upon yourself, and now he's going to have fun with his new fucktoy.

Tumblr media
a look at what’s coming your way for capricorn season 🪄🚪⌛️💡
please only take what resonates, listen to your intuition closely. don’t second guess that gut feeling!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pile 1 - blessings: king of pentacles, five of cups, four of coins, eight of swords. lessons: seven of pentacles, six of wands, four of cups, page of wands.
a tough and brave energy is radiating from you this capricorn season, pile one. i’m seeing that whatever you were dealing with before this energy shift is less intimidating now, as if you realize that it’s not as scary as it seemed in the first place. your blessings are a sense of personal power, a confidence to overcome what seemed impossible before.
whether that be going after a career, studying a field or just a project you’ve had your sights on for a while but didn’t quite have the motivation? your blessing will be that final burst of strength to crack the cocoon so you can fly.
you’re excited aren’t you, pile one? as you should be. life looks like it’s taking a turn for the best, your applied efforts being met with recognition (maybe even that boost of self esteem/self recognition).
overall, your lesson this season is that things aren’t as bleak they seemed, your inner and outer world getting brighter and easier.
Tumblr media
pile 2 - blessings: six of pentacles, seven of cups, ten of wands, the fool/king of swords. lessons: three of swords, seven of coins, ten of pentacles, four of swords.
ready for rest aren’t we, pile two? well please be assured, your blessings for this capricorn season is the balance of relief where you may have been overworking yourself (physically, mentally, emotionally). you’ve been doing a great deal of inner work haven’t you, pile two? it’s okay to allow yourself to celebrate, you’re in the final stretch.
you seem to be energetically wedged right between capricorn and their watery cousin, cancer during this season. but do remember that cancers tarot card is the chariot of completion and victory through righteous willpower. and capricorn is associated with the devil tarot card which often represents systems of power, self destruction and control.
with that being said, your lesson is embracing this more powerful cancerian energy of moving past that heartbreak of feeling trapped by your circumstances or delays and trusting you’ll succeed at what you’ve worked hard at.
embrace your self-understanding and know you’re headed in the right direction, pile two! your lesson is knowing your effort will never be fruitless if you’ve given it your all.
Tumblr media
pile 3 - blessings: king of swords, page of swords, two of cups, eight of swords. lessons: nine of swords, three of cups, queen of cups, nine of cups.
looking sharp, pile three! you’re being blessed with an ardent venture in one way or another. there could even be something specific here that you may have been pursuing already but there is incoming information about it- a development of some kind that will reveal its full potential and make you even more sure about it.
almost as if you have already been fulfilling that capricious energy and now is the time where you can actually cut to the bone of your efforts.
it’s a very exciting and assured energy that is coming from you. you are ready but i feel that you may not even realize the actual magnitude of this pursuit! like you’re already like ‘yeah! i’m gonna do this, and this, and this-!’ and then it finally comes and you’re like ‘oh wow, that’s so much more than i expected’ in the best way possible.
overall, the lesson here is that you deserve the stuff you’ve been wanting. not only that, it looks like it’s finally a chance to actually relax this year (and the upcoming). like, this feels like the biggest christmas present you’ve ever received, pile three. i mean seriously, i’m seeing fun and abundance that will genuinely blow your mind lol. stay excited and focused, and expect the best, love!
Tumblr media
that’s it for now, hope this helped and you got everything you needed! & please remember to like/reblog!

My shot at @abbeyofcyn’s CTIYS!
Fun fact this is actually my first time ever doing something like this (or even posting art in general) and I might have gone a bit overboard with it. I coloured it twice because I had two ideas wanted to try both. My finger needs rest and I can’t fathom that Ibis is telling me that I spent 16-nearly-17 hours on this lol. But! I’m happy I did. This was so much fun to do! I only recently started with digital art and I decided to try and do new things with this. Who knew shading could be so enjoyable? I also found it very entertaining to try and shove as many small details as I can into this (an example being in the first one, Donnie’s bags (?) actually being Leo’s (he has them in the show :] ) that he *cough* borrowed to store interesting things he finds in the apocalypse).
ANYWAYS ENOUGH YAPPING HERE IT IS!
First one (what I call my normal attempt): “Gold”
Tumblr media
(I actually forgot that his mechanical arm is green too and only realised it when I was late into the second one lol) I wanted to emphasise with the colours that they are still in the apocalypse, but it’s but brighter with those you care for. They’re the most valuable thing in the world, and hence, Gold! I also wanted to try doing a golden hour scene and MAN did I struggle. But, I’m proud of it :)
Small trigger warning! The next one contains a bit of blood and implied death.
Second one (Angst tehe): “Hollow peace”
Tumblr media
(MY QUALITY NOOOOO-) This was actually my first thought on the CTIYS before I changed my mind and started on the other. I had the thought that maybe Leo “failed”, losing them in some recent battle and now is just chilling with their ghosts and ow that hurts saying aloud. They stumble upon a new area, and it’s so peaceful and beautiful, but Leo can’t enjoy it. He wouldn’t even know how to. He can’t remember how to feel, how to think beyond ‘survive’. He’s failed everyone and everything. He cries without knowing for what. He’s a husk caring for the hauntings of his kids, they’re the only thing keeping him alive. And as long as they’re still here, still smiling at him despite him being a monster and failing them, he still has a purpose. He will live on.
Wow I talk a lot. Anyways go follow @abbeyofcyn they’re super cool and post amazing art. They inspire me so much on so many different levels and I am very happy to be able to do this. Rad person with stunning fanart and stories.
(Incredible line art done by @abbeyofcyn (sorry I’ve tagged you thrice in one post))
And here’s the link to the Original Post if you want to try yourself! I recommend, but you do you. :D
Thanks for listening to my rambles and have a lovely rest of your day/night! :]

like real people do: solomon
they've seen the world shift and change throughout their long, long lives, but if they could they would have given it all up just to be with you.
~~~~~
I would not ask you where you came from I would not ask and neither would you. Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do.
~~~~~
There’s a dull ache in his back as Solomon works on his new project. It’s a memento he was to bestow upon them, yet another gift that’s meant to protect them from the demons they’re surrounded with on a daily basis. Solomon has convinced himself that if he works hard enough, he can have them for just a day longer, he can make space in the universe for just a little bit more time in their lifespan, all without directly affecting their mortality. He doesn’t want them to turn out like him. He doesn’t want them to watch everyone around them grow old and forget their face, to be a wisp of what was once human as time slips away from them.
The brothers often compare him to a demon. Though he is still a human at heart, there is very little humanity left in him.
Solomon has come to terms with the fact that he will never have a chance to truly be with them, as they’re always surrounded by the brothers and the Prince of the Devildom himself, plus the prince’s own butler and an angel that could give them far more than Solomon ever could. He cannot fascinate them with wings or shift forms to protect them, nor can he wow them with extensive knowledge of a world they are not familiar with. Though Solomon hides it well, the fact of the matter is that he will always feel inferior to everyone else that chases after their heart, and yearns for the moment when they turn their eyes to him and promise him their entire being. He wants their soul, he wants their body, he wants anything and everything they have to offer. He wants to swallow them whole and clutch them to his chest, if only to keep them safe from all the demons (and angels, too, as Simeon is just as devious as a demon) that might try and lead them astray.
Solomon takes a moment to admire the finally finished product, intertwining his fingers and thrusting his arms over his head. His joints crack pleasantly, and he pushes himself up out of the chair with a satisfied sigh. Now that the little object is complete, all he has to do is cast a protection spell on it. It’s a simple thing, just meant to keep the brothers out of their room when they want their own space, something that he knew they would appreciate on days when he wasn’t there to whisk them away from the chaos and loudness of the House of Lamentation.
It was silly to worry about him not being around, as they were the ones with a much shorter lifespan.
How silly of him to lament on such an obvious thing.
Solomon sighs again, gently lifting the precious little object into his hands.
“Spirit of affection, spirit of love, spirit of benevolence, offer your power to the object before me, so that the loved one I bestow it upon shall be protected of all they deem a threat.”
A soft glow emanates from it, and Solomon slams his eyes shut in order to pour as much love as he can into it. His heart opens like a set of floodgates holding back a tsunami, and he’s reminded of the urge to consume them whole. Fuck, he needs them. He needs them so much, every day is so much brighter with them and it’s like he doesn’t need to be lonely anymore. They’re so terrible for making him so dependent. He doesn’t know how he’ll manage anymore, not when he’s pledged his everything to you for as long as his lifespan drags on. He can only open his eyes and wish he was a better man, wish he could say for certain that he wouldn’t go digging in every spellbook he could find for a way to bring them back once they've passed.
That’s not his choice to make.
He mutters another incantation under his breath, and this one brings him right into their room. Ironically enough, he’s the one invading their room. Didn’t he make this for them so this wouldn’t happen?
Just the demon brothers, he thinks as he sets the gift on your bed, Just them.
Because obviously, Solomon is special. He means more to them.
Right?
He wants to mean more. He wants to be number one on their list, always.
He’d drop everything for them in a second if that's what they wanted him to do.
He decides to wait for them, since they’re most likely gaming with the Avatar of Envy right now. Whether they’re doing it to pacify his jealousy or because they genuinely like spending time with him, he doesn’t know. He hopes it’s just to pacify Leviathan. He wants them all to himself, being the selfish man he is.
He wishes he were a better man.
He only has to wait a few minutes more before the door clicks and swings open, their form slipping into the safety of their room. They turn around after the door is shut and jump when they see him, but they don’t scream. They smile.
Fuck, he’s in love with that smile. He wants to see it every day for all eternity.
“Hey Solomon.” they hum, approaching him far too quickly and smoothing back his hair like they’ve done it a million times before, “Do you need something for me?”
He needs so much from you.
“I wanted to give you something.” he snickers, a mischievous grin masking the fluttering butterflies in his belly, “It’s a gift. Don’t think too hard about it.”
They laugh, and he resists the urge to take them into his arms.
“Oh, when you say things like that it makes me nervous.” they shake their head, amusement evident as they take the object from him, “So, what do this one do? Prevent Beel from eating my snacks? Stop Mammon from stealing my spare Grim?”
“Even better.” Solomon chirps, “It’ll be helpful in the future, I can assure you.”
“You’re avoiding the question.” they roll their eyes, but there’s no malice behind it, “It’s never easy to get an answer out of you, huh?”
“I promise it’s nothing dangerous.” he jokes, eyes trailing after them as they sit down on their bed.
“It’s okay, Sol. I trust you.” they pat the spot on the bed next to them, an affectionate mirth blooming on their face, “You’re always doing so much to protect me...makes me want to protect you too.”
A moment of silence. Solomon doesn’t move. Sol sounds so much like Soul that it has heat creeping onto his cheeks and his pupil blown wide. Shocked by the affectionate name, he laughs.
“Don’t laugh! I know I can’t protect you as well as I'd like yet...and you’re capable of protecting yourself and me.” they murmur, holding the silly little thing he made them so gently in their hands.
“I can’t protect you from everything.” Solomon says seriously, taking their offer to sit down. He’s closer to them than he should be, he knows this, but they don’t pull away so he doesn’t either, “I can’t protect you from your own mortality. You must know this.”
Their smiling face turns equally as serious in the blink of an eye, but Solomon stands his ground. It’s an inevitability that they steer clear from, something they don't discuss even if it feels as though it’s going to break them apart. It will eventually, he reminds himself, and he has to be careful or else he’ll become too greedy and selfish and ransack the world—no, the three realms—for any way to make you just as cursed as he was.
“I can protect myself from that. I’ll find a way.” they say, so certain that they will.
It sends a shiver down Solomon’s spine.
“After all, I can’t just leave you alone, now can I?” they hum, turning away from him to place his newest project on their bedside table, “Not my Solomon. I’m staying with him for all eternity.”
“You don’t know what you’re saying.” he laughs shakily, desperately hoping that what they’re saying is true and that they actually mean all the things they say, because if that’s the case that means they genuinely want to stay with him for that long and he’ll never have to be alone anymore. It means that they’re willing to give up their humanity for him and the rest of their loved ones and the world they know right now.
All of it. All of it pales in comparison to him in their eyes.
He’s going to cry.
“MC...I can’t let you do that. You know I can’t.” he mumbles, reaching out for them. It doesn’t matter what he touches, he just needs to feel them, to know that they’re there and they won’t leave him even though it would be better for them if they did.
“It’s not your decision to make.” they say, and they meet him halfway with their gentle hands that hold him like he’s breakable even though he’s been through far more than they have.
“Can I not influence it a bit?” he laughs brokenly, slamming his eyes shut so he doesn’t have to look at their face.
“Not if you’re going to tell me no or all the reasons I shouldn’t stay with you.” they whisper, using their free hand to tangle their fingers through his hair and pull him into their chest, “Why are you denying yourself love? Why do you try to perpetuate this cycle of loneliness that you’ve been trapped in? I’m not saying my decision will fix everything or make it better, but I want to be with you even if it gets worse. Just trust me.”
Solomon does.
He trusts them and he believes them, so much so that that is the problem.
“I do.” he sighs, leaning into them like they’re the last person he will ever touch, “I trust you completely, and that’s the problem. I know that you’re being honest and I know you fully intend to pursue immortality, but-”
He stops to catch a breath, and they wait patiently for him as he tries to make sense of all the swirling thoughts in his mind. Even a millennia of experience wouldn’t have prepared him for what he was facing right now. He can’t let them do this. He just can't. He knows better than they do what being immortal entails, he can’t let them go down the same path.
“I…Please, listen to me.” he cries out, feeling tense behind his eyes as he begs them not to go through with it.
“I can’t just die.” they whisper. Those four words sound like shattered glass, cutting up his heart and he’s sure they’ll leave scars, whether they succeed or not.
“I know.” he concedes, head bumping against their shoulder defeatedly, “I know you can’t. I don’t want you to.”
They make a soft sound of acknowledgement, and he knows they’re aware of his internal conflict. They figure everything out so easily. He wishes they weren’t as smart.
They busy themselves by stroking the back of his head while he’s silent. Solomon leans into the loving touch, and finds himself listening to the steady thumping of their heart. It’s an unimaginable feeling for someone like him, being so close to another person, a fragile person, a person that cannot be as frivolous with their lifespan as he is.
And so he listens, and takes it all in.
Their hearts stutter.
It’s aching, he can sense it.
Despite the pain they both feel, it’s like their souls are being interconnected just by the closeness of their fragile human bodies, and he wishes their soul would be all his. He wants to feel what they feel, absorb all of their pain and sorrow so he can protect them even further.
“I’m not going to ask how you became immortal.” they mutter into his hair, giving him a gentle squeeze, “I know you won’t tell me. I’m going to figure this out by myself, and prove to you that I can handle immortality by your side.”
You can't do that is what he wants to say.
He can’t bring himself to say it.
If only he were a better man.
“I love you.” he says, and whether it’s a response to what they said or an impromptu confession he doesn’t know.
All he knows is that the reciprocated “I love you more,” is all he needed to hear.

synopsis: that one time you accidentally lost ushijima in a mall on christmas. tags: fem!reader, fluff a/n: helloww sweet @ohtokki, your secret santa here! wishing you a wonderful time with your family and friends!<33 i really hope you like this little something i wrote for you and ushiwaka^^ it's actually my first time writing for him so i hope it's not too ooc ehe..
Tumblr media
Like in a crammed can of sardines, people tried to navigate through the crowded streets and stores. Some of them looked for last minute gifts while others enjoyed the mesmerising decorations and lights ornamenting the city that seemed even brighter and more vivid once dusk fell. Watching some of the people rush down the halls of the mall you were currently strolling through, arms packed with packages and bags, wide and frantic eyes glancing from one shop window to another, you were more than relieved that Ushijima and you belonged to the second category of people.
“Wow, good thing we bought everything at - " Losing a nearly 6’4 tall boyfriend was hard. "Toshi?" But not impossible.
Especially in a crowded place like this one. With a deep sigh, you looked around, hopefully trying to spot Ushijima somewhere in your proximity though apparently it was not going to be that simple. A young man accidentally bumped into you. The pink gift bag he was carrying slipped out of his hand, though with a hectic hand gesture he managed to grasp it before it touched the floor. “I’m so sorry, Miss!” The teenager blushed and quickly bowed his head before scurrying off. 
Meanwhile somewhere in the same mall, Ushijima paced from one shop entrance to another, curiously peeking over other customers’ heads, shoulders slumping every time he did not spot you. The “E” in the corner of his phone display mocked him when he pulled it out of the pocket of his jacket, and it seemed like no store nearby offered free wifi for him to at least send you a quick message.
Of course he could have anticipated that the shopping centre would be this packed today, though when you had asked him to accompany you to get your favourite dessert from the patisserie that was supposed to be somewhere around here, Ushijima had not been able to decline. 
A soft tug on his pants pulled his attention away from his phone, and instead of a bright screen, he was gazing into big, teary eyes as a little girl shyly stared up at him, her height barely reaching up to his thigh. “Um, you’re ‘Shijima-san, right?” Had he not crouched down to her height, he would have probably not even been able to hear her question over the loud Christmas music that all of a sudden started playing in the background. 
“Yes.” He nodded, somehow not finding it in him to correct her mispronunciation of his name, and instead patiently waited for her to continue. “My Nii-chan always says you’re the coolest so- uh, will you help me find him and mommy?” There was a light shake in her small, gloved hands as she played with one of her dark pigtails, the glittery red bows in them sparkling with every movement of her head. 
A curt nod of his was enough to make the little girl smile as if he had just now shown her the entire world, and once he picked her up like she weighed nothing to place her on his shoulders, he indeed did show her an entirely different kind of world. Ushijima’s hands swallowed her much smaller ones, making sure that she was safely positioned and holding on tight. So this is what a giant’s view looks like, she thought, completely in awe about how she could truly see everything and everyone from up there. 
“Where was the last time you have been with your mom and brother?” He inquired and looked around for… not exactly sure who. A panicked looking mother? A similarly frantic looking boy? While at the same time trying to catch a glimpse of you amidst the people moving past him. 
“We wanted to buy cupcakes!” Her little legs dangled excitedly down the volleyball player’s borad shoulders while she explained that her mom was planning to buy mentioned cupcakes for her fourth birthday. “But then poof! Nii-chan and mommy were gone.” She gestured with her hands as if they had disappeared into thin air.
Poof, huh? Sounded pretty familiar to him when he thought about how you were one minute walking right beside him and the next- 
The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Ushijima carefully fished it out with one hand while the other made sure the girl on his shoulders would not fall over. 
“Hello? Toshi, where are you?” The sound of your voice eased the tension in his shoulders and he did not dare to budge from the spot that, thank god, provided him with some decent signal. 
The little girl on his shoulders involuntarily eavesdropped on the giant’s conversation since, with whoever he was talking to, the small gentle smile on his face made it obvious that talking to them made him clearly happy. 
“I’m on my way to the patisserie. There’s this girl I just met and she-” 
“But we have just been there? And what girl?” It was not a rare occurrence for Ushijima to get held up by fans, yet right now you really just wanted to get home as soon as possible. The crowded space and your missing boyfriend were slowly but surely getting to you and tiring you out so much that you could not help but sound a little snappy over the phone. Whatever fangirl he was dealing right now, he better- 
“Love, she’s four.” 
"Huh?" Oh. 
You loosened the woollen scarf around your neck once you heard your boyfriend’s breathy chuckle on the other end of the line, a light heat creeping up your neck out of sheer embarrassment. Manoeuvring your way through the slowly dissipating crowd, you listened attentively to Ushijima as he explained the little girl’s predicament as well as his current location to you. Since it seemed that you were not too far away from them, you agreed on meeting them at a flower shop in front of which they were currently standing.
“Was that your girlfriend?” The little girl asked curiously once Ushijima hung up, both his hands now securely resting back on her thighs. “Did she also get lost?” 
“You could say it like that. But she’ll get here soon and then we will go to look for your family together, alright?” 
“Yes! Thank you, Shijima-san!” She exclaimed gratefully, her arms wrapping around his neck in a tight hug that made his heart swell. Remembering that she was now even taller than the giant himself, she figured that she could help him too find someone dear to him.  “So, what does she look like?” 
“Hm? Well, she’s wearing a long coat, a thick white scarf, she has long brown-” 
“Is she pretty?” 
Ushijima was a little taken aback by her question, since she made it sound as if an answer to it would be more helpful to pinpoint you than a detailed description of your appearance. Yet with a deep sigh and significant warmth in his eyes, he answered truthfully. “Yes, very so.” 
And somehow, as if satisfied with his answer, the little girl quietly looked ahead of herself and rested her chin on top of his head. With each passing minute, the mall got emptier, customers wrapped up their purchases before leaving, cash registers in certain shops looked less busy, and even an employee who was wearing a santa costume looked like he had finished his shift as he walked past Ushijima, waving kindly at the girl who happily reciprocated the gesture. 
“There!” The girl suddenly perked up after noticing a young woman hurry towards them with a fond smile on her face. 
And how could you not smile when the sight of your lover with such a sweet looking young girl perched on top of his shoulders was so endearing to you. You approached them finally and reached up to greet the girl with a light squeeze to her calf. 
“I see you’ve made yourself comfortable over there. What’s your name, sweetheart?” 
“Chiyo!” She answered with a bright toothy grin before she fervently started to tell you about how she had gotten lost and found "Shijima-san".
Eventually, you made yourself on the way to the patisserie where you hoped to find Chiyo’s mother and brother, since it was the only place where you could get fresh pastries at this time of the day. By the way she clung to Ushijima, you could tell that she had warmed up to him pretty fast, and the same could be said about him. He looked so effortlessly handsome as he carried the child in a way that you would think he had never done anything else in his life. In a way that made you wonder what it would be like to have your own little gremlin sit on top of him and call him a “giant”. 
Warmth suddenly engulfed your left hand, and his rare physical display of affection astonished you a slightest bit. But as he squeezed your hand gently, his thumb stroking the back of it back and forth, he simply stated matter-of-factly. 
“Don’t want to lose you again.” 
Right, Mr. Shijima, you thought knowingly. Admitting that your short lived disappearance had made him feel uncomfortable and that going through the same dilemma would probably make him age a few months more- that was definitely not something he was going to admit today. 
However, when he had to put Chiyo back down and watch her run over to her Nii-chan, who coincidentally was the same young man who had earlier bumped into you, Ushijima had to admit that he was a little dejected about the fact that his adventure with the little girl was over so soon.

Hi hun hope you’re staying warm! I’m sorry this is a last minute holiday one! I was wondering you could write a Christmas Eddie x reader where the party all do secret Santa and Eddie ends up getting reader? They aren’t dating just crushing and Eddie is freaking out because he wants to get her something really special *cue Dustin’s help* and it ends on a sweet note. Thank you! ❤️
hi love!! i hope this is good <3 it’s my gift to u, merry christmas | 0.7k, fluff, fem!reader
Secret Santa was a great tradition amongst your friends, and when Eddie joined the group, you were all happy to have another name in the hat.
It’s the second Christmas with Eddie around and you can’t deny that the holidays feel better with him. Brighter. You also can’t deny how much you like him.
You’ve grown close, and he’s so much more than what you were expecting. The crush started out as just that, a crush, and grew and grew until it became something huge. A certain four letter word kind of huge.
Though you’re clueless to it, the same goes for Eddie. He’s convinced that he was in love the moment he met you. His world shifted, something clicked into place.
That’s why his stomach drops when he picks your name for secret Santa this year.
He likes you so much—loves you, even—and he knows he has to get something special. He cares more about whether or not you’ll like your gift than he ever has for anyone else and it’s stressful.
Naturally, he goes to Dustin for help.
“Listen, it has to be really good,” he says. “Like really, really good.”
“You’ve said that like ten times,” Dustin replies, his usual sass present as always.
“Because it’s true! Help me.”
“Doesn’t she like to read?”
“Yeah. Loves it.”
“Get her a book. Problem solved.”
“Wow, thank you so much, Henderson. A book. How special,” Eddie deadpans.
“Make it special, Eddie. You know, with your pizzazz.”
Make it special with your pizzazz. What the fuck is he supposed to do with that?
Days later, Eddie finally figures out a special present to do with books. He worries over and over that it’s stupid, that you’ll hate it, but it’s the best thing he’s come up with (thanks to Dustin, after all).
Secret Santa occurs on Christmas Eve, and that’s where you are now.
Eddie greeted you with a hug when he saw you, holding you tight longer than usual, trying not to obviously breathe you in. Your smell, your comfort. When you pulled back, he was almost stunned by how pretty he finds you.
It’s not a new thought. He notices constantly, but sometimes it just hits him. He blames the holidays for it this time. You’re wearing a Christmas sweater vest, a plain long sleeve beneath it, and jeans. It’s perfect on you.
“I like your outfit,” he says, when he really means that you’re the prettiest person in the entire world, he thinks.
“Thanks, I like yours too,” it’s the same as he always wears, but he knows you mean it.
He’s a mess when the gift exchanging starts, his leg bouncing. He wants you to like it so much. He hardly notices when it’s his turn to pass his present, lost in his head.
“Eddie?” You move to catch his gaze.
“Hm?”
“It’s your turn.”
“Oh, sorry.” He grabs the present he spent way too long wrapping, hands it to you slowly, “Merry Christmas.”
When you take it from him, your fingers brush. Even after the contact, they’re left burning with the memory.
You unwrap it gently, like you’re trying to savor it. Eddie watches your face the entire time, eyes searching for any reaction. What he gets is a look, your mouth in the shape of an ‘O’ from surprise.
“You didn’t,” you say.
A chorus of ‘what is it’s sound from your friends. You’d almost forgotten they were there, too.
“It’s a first edition,” Eddie says.
A special book. Your favorite one, first edition, with a card tucked away in its pages for you to find later.
“Eddie, this is perfect.”
“You like it, then?”
“Are you kidding?!”
At his shy smile you can’t hold yourself back from springing up to hug him. He’s still sitting, unprepared, so you lean down and wrap your arms around his shoulders. His come around your back quickly.
You bury your face in his neck, press a kiss that’s so light Eddie’s not sure if he dreamt it, and mumble, “thank you.”
“You’re welcome, babe.”
With his arms around you, Eddie decides that he’s going to ask you out as soon as you’re alone. He can’t keep hiding his feelings when you’re the only person he’s ever felt them for. They practically seep out of him now.
Robin leans over to Steve, “how much you wanna bet they’re dating next time we see them?”

For the Solstice: “Invictus”
Tumblr media
In the dimness he woke and knew it was too late. Morning never came so late unless the world was ending.
Fortunately, he knew what to do about that.
He blinked and ruffled his feathers, looking around. This was his place. Surrounding a patch of grass were two holly trees, a pine, a cypress whose branches all went the wrong way, and much shrubbery, mostly beech and thorn. The shelter was good here, even on nights like last night. And in the holly, food appeared hung up: good food that tasted of fat and meat. It was all his. Later, when it was time for sex, there would be someone else who’d get some of it. But right now, he owned it.
This cold white stuff on the ground did complicate matters. It came and went without warning, and here it was again. Now, others who might have spent the morning scratching around the ground instead of stuffing themselves full up here would be turning up in his territory, eating his food. His feathers ruffled up again, this time with rage at the thought. Bastards. Bastards. Kill them all.
He hopped up onto the branch that had the best view across the patch of grass and into the bushes, and sang. Bastards! Who wants a piece of me? Come and get it! Because this was when it had to be said, no matter how much you might have preferred to sit quiet with your feathers fluffed up, conserving your heat. The dim sky was already paling toward that too-cold blue. It would be a bad day, cold, everybody and his family would turn up here trying to get at the tree food, which was what you needed this time of year if you meant to stay alive until dusk —
And suddenly he heard the harsh dark cawing coming from across the hardened path, across the wall, in the wood full of tall starved pines. He shivered. Not so early! he thought. What are you doing up at this hour? But he knew. That one wanted the tree-food too. It had come for it before. Now, in the silence before the morning wind, he heard the flapping of its huge wings.
Hastily he turned to the food cage, ate a few mouthfuls, felt the fat melt down his throat like blood, like life. Almost before he finished, the darkness had landed with a noisy thrash of leaves and branches up in the holly. A great expressionless black eye gazed down at him.
He sang. It was almost all he could do. It’s mine! Stay away, or I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! But the outcome was hardly so simple. The black-headed, white-backed shape with the axe-like beak bounced down another branch, and another, its eye on that tree food, that meat. It liked meat too. He’d once seen it zoom down onto the pond and simply pick up a baby duck and fly off with it. I’ll kill you if you get any closer! Don't push me! I will!
It came closer. It was winter, it was death, the shape now only one branch of holly away. He sang as if life depended on it: because it did. If he had enough to eat, the sun came up. If the sun came up, the world was safe. It was as simple as that. Go away! I have to eat the food or the world will end! I’ll kill you to keep that from happening! Monster, go away, don’t make me rip you up—! He fluttered at the monstrous gaping head, enraged, desperate.
A clacketing, rattling noise came from behind. The black eye went wide. The awful pale-backed bulk roused its wings and flapped clumsily out of the holly tree. Desperate with relief, he flung himself at the food-cage again, and ate with frantic speed as the sky paled brighter, toward day-blue: and between mouthfuls, he sang at the top of his lungs, shuddering with relief and triumph. Bastard! I warned you not to mess with me! Victory! Victory!
The sun peered up over the far hill. The shadows fled. He gorged himself as the black bird flew off, and stopped, and shouted again, Victory!
...She stood there with her tea mug in one hand, looking out across the backyard snow at the dot of red breast deep in among the holly branches, pecking furiously at the suet in its little cage. “Wow,” she said to the husband, back in the kitchen, “listen to that little guy. You’d think he’d just won World War Three.”
“Yeah. ...Where’s the milk?”
The door closed. On the snow, the sun of the shortest day shone.
Victory!

Klaroline WIP Wed - freaky friday time travel fic
my prompt was the future Caroline Mikaelson and Caroline Forbes swap places and I was like, okay, I am going to shoehorn an entire plot in here after prom but before graduation. author is loading canon and firing it into the sun
-------------------------------
The package was sitting innocently enough on the porch swing when Caroline got home from school. After a weird day of fielding concerned questions from her peers about Elena’s whereabouts–Stefan and Damon locking her in the Boarding House all weekend after prom was a last-ditch effort that looked like it wasn’t working–Caroline wasn’t really in the mood for a surprise. 
When a cautious sniff towards the box brought her the acrid smell of oil paint and turpentine, though, she had to bite down on her smile. The smell liked to cling to Klaus after he’d been painting all morning, as she’d discovered two days ago, the morning after prom. She’d been crossing the Square, coming from the Sheriff’s department toward the Mystic Grill to meet Matt for lunch and flashcards, when her name being called pulled her head back to the here and now.
“Caroline!” Klaus’ smile was delighted to see her as he crossed the street to meet her on the grass, dimples brighter on his face than the sunshine, and god wasn’t that cheesy and ironic, just like her agreement to be friends with the nightmare creature that had plagued their lives for months. Even stranger, that she actually wanted to. Okay, maybe he hadn't been plaguing their lives very hard recently. What with the others unleashing Evil Dead and Elena taking home all the queen bitch prizes previously scooped up by Katherine, Klaus had almost seemed like your friendly neighborhood serial killer in comparison. 
She waited until he caught up, swinging a large brown paper bag by string handles. “A word of advice?” she offered. He raised his eyebrows in intrigued curiosity. “Don’t go loudly chatting up the Sheriff's teenage daughter in the middle of town when you look like… that,” She gestured at all of him, including his loose-necked henley and comfortable jeans liberally smeared with paint, “Unless you want to get called a dirty old man behind your back.”
The laugh was practically startled out of him. He looked like an artist grad student at most, the kind that would debauch you on the furniture props, but judging by the slightly judgy looks from a few faces she could see around the square, that was too old for just barely eighteen Caroline. Oh yeah, Liz would be hearing about this before the day was out, and wasn't that just what Caroline needed?
Klaus leaned forward slightly, for all the world looked like he was sharing confidences with her. "Do you find me old, sweetheart?" he asked, dimples on display.
"Ancient, decrepit," she deadpanned.
His voice dropped a little softer, and unconsciously this time she leaned in a little to hear him. “You know our kind don’t measure time in years, sweetheart, it’s more about experiences.”
With a scoff and an eye roll, she leaned back. “Oh my god, you did not just ‘Age is just a number’ me. It’s jail for you, sir.”
“Mmm, they haven’t built a prison that can hold me yet, but if you prefer that sort of role-play, I'm sure I could think of something,” he said cheekily.
“Wow, okay!” She laughed, trying not to think of ‘Klaus’ and ‘role-play’ in the same context, “You are feeling much better than the last time I saw you.”
He seemed to sober, tension pinching his soft mouth. “Silas hasn’t shown himself that I’m aware of. Elijah is refusing to hand over the cure to either Rebekah or myself. Her on the grounds that she failed her trial, and me…” Klaus glanced away.
Caroline tried to dredge up some sympathy, really she did. “Well, we are all very much hoping there will not be an apocalypse hell-on-earth. I never met your parents and I would like to keep that track record going, thanks.” Klaus ducked his head, laugh soft, and Caroline nearly preened. “So, what’s in the bag? Thumb screws? Arsenic? Stolen lollipops?”
“Your imagination is a never-ending delight, love. There’s an art supply shop down the street that orders my paints for me. Which is fortunate, I was getting low on Cadmium Orange.” His fingers fiddled with the bag string.
“That is a very specific color,” she teased gently.
He tilted his head to the side in a self-deprecating sort of way. “Well, I need it for a very specific bit of shading, you see. The fall,” he gestured vaguely with one hand at some unseen painting, “Isn’t quite right. I’ve been working on it all night.”
Wrinkling her nose at him, she adjusted her purse on her shoulder. “Is that why you have that ‘freshly bathed in linseed oil’ smell?” Knowing she was about to set the tongues wagging but unable to resist the look it would put on his face, she reached out and snagged his hand, flipped it over backside up. Bright yellow paint was smeared on his skin. “You missed a spot.” she pointed out helpfully.
He rumbled softly in his throat. “So I did.” When Caroline looked up, his hungry blue eyes were on her, quiet, watchful of what she’d do next.
“So,” she said, drawing out the vowel, “I’m supposed to meet Matt for lunch.”
“The human?” Klaus managed to fit a world of disgruntled judgment into two words.
“Ugh.” Caroline dropped his hand with a bit of force. “Matt is failing some of his classes and needs a study buddy. I happen to be queen of the flashcards, thank you very much. Finals are next week, and I just want…” She paused, emotion clawing up her throat and she swallowed. Blinked. The sun that seemed so bright before–but not warm, never warm, never again–seemed a pale imitation of itself. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Klaus’s hand hovering next to her arm as if wondering if his touch was unwelcome.
This wasn’t helpful, this wasn’t what she needed, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the Square, for god’s sake. Her chin raised, she looked Klaus in the eye. He looked solemnly back. “I just want us to make it through graduation. All of us. So.” She pasted a smile on her face. “I do what I can, which means flashcards.”
Something bitter tilted his mouth. “The talents of a general and they have you tutoring the quarterback.”
Caroline scowled at him. “It’s not a waste of my time to care about my friends. You certainly benefited from that.” With a huff, she turned to go, and he stepped sideways into her path.
“Admitting you care, love?” There was something predatory about the glint in his eyes.
Raising her eyebrows loftily, she pushed past him, trying to ignore the heat from his body that seemed to cling to hers. “In your dreams, Klaus,” she shot over her shoulder as she headed toward the Mystic Grill.
While her vampire hearing might have been bogged down by the noise in the Square, she was annoyingly attuned to Klaus’ presence. His parting words reached her easily: “Someday, you will.”

GILBERT VON OBSIDIAN MAIN ROUTE....
Tumblr media
BOTH ENDINGS BONUS.
translations are not 100% accurate. expect mistakes.
trigger warning: mildly suggestive.
minors and ageless blogs dni.
I decided not to love anyone anymore.
I decided not to trust anyone anymore.
I broke that old vow without hesitation.
It was very frightening.
Emma: How is it, Lord Gilbert?
Emma dances in an empty dance hall wearing a jet-black dress that looks like the night sky.
There is no music, no audience, only a dance hall that has lost its former glory,
Emma’s dance was more alive and brighter than the starry sky that covered the windows.
Tumblr media
(I don't know what you enjoy so much….) // (I don't know what's so fun about it.)
The dance partner is a sickly man who has been forced to live on a bed for years.
Unlike most of the world's most skilled dancers, I am by no means a good dancer.
Even so, Emma’s smile was bright with joy.
Gilbert: You're getting better than you were the first time.
(When you danced at Rhodolite, it was like you just learned on the spur of the moment….)
Even if she were to join society today, no one would doubt that she was from a commoner family. // Now, if she were to join in a social gathering, no one would suspect that she was a commoner.
Gilbert: Who did you practice with?
Emma:….No one.
Gilbert: Eh— really?
Emma: You already know that, don't you?
Gilbert: I'm being a skeptic man.
Emma: Please rest assured. Since Lord Gilbert always had his eye on me, no one would go out with me.
Gilbert: Ahaha. That's good to hear.
Emma:…..It's not good.
Gilbert: What, you want to dance with another man?
Emma:…….
The eyes that are looking at her with a steady, questioning gaze are passed off with a smile.
She is the only woman who is so undaunted by the royal family, the symbol of terror.
Gilbert: By the way, I won't allow you to go around the place just to show off. It's a big deal if pests come near you.
Emma: Originally, I had no intention of showing off except to Lord Gilbert. // Originally, I was only going to show it to Lord Gilbert.
Emma: And this is...well, a party…to celebrate your recovery.
Gilbert: To celebrate my recovery. If that's the case——
I tugged Emma’s hand and pressed her lips against mine.
Gilbert: Does that mean I can do this too?
Emma:….Of….course.
Not only her face but also her ears turn red, and she kisses me back.
The fact that it is awkward no matter how many times she has done it is a sign that she’s not used to being with men.
I placed my hand on her cheek to chase her lips, which quickly parted, and takes her breath away again.
(…But to be honest, I didn't expect to be loved by you.)
(I thought I was going to die without ever having been involved in love or anything like this.)
(It's truly amazing how a series of coincidences have led us to where we are now——)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gilbert: Hello, big brother.
Akatsuki: Ah, you're here again, pipsqueak.
The time I spent in the beautiful country of Rhodolite, full of roses and art, was filled with joy.
Among them, I was especially looking forward to the second-hand book market that is held regularly under the blue sky……
I got along especially well with the merchant from Kougyoku(Ruby), who opened his shop almost every time.
Gilbert: Wow...there are a lot of interesting books again this time.
Only his store had so many rare books that I couldn't understand why people were avoiding it.
Akatsuki:…Every time, you only pick up the most difficult books, don't you?
Gilbert: I like academic books from other countries because they contain a lot of things I don't know.
Gilbert: I've read all the books from my country, so it's boring. Oh this book looks interesting——
When I reached out, I bumped into another hand reaching out from the other direction.
Gilbert: Ah….
Blonde boy:……
He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was clearly an aristocratic boy.
He's a little taller than me, but he's about the same age as me.
Gilbert: Are you interested in this book?
Blonde boy: Yes.
Gilbert: How strange. It's the world's first legal book written in ancient achroite script….
Blonde boy:…I'm surprised anyone else can read this.
He was clearly different. And I instantly knew it.
He, like myself, deserves to be classified as a genius.
Gilbert: Then, shall we read it together?
Tumblr media
Gilbert: My name is Gil. And you are?
Blonde boy:……
We went into a nearby back alley and read the book we just bought side by side.
The blonde boy was surprisingly quiet.
Gilbert: I wish you could tell me your name. // You could have at least told me your name.
Blonde boy: We’re not going to get along.
Gilbert: But if we read a book together, that means we're friends.
Blonde boy: What's with that rule?
Gilbert: I just decided. I wanted to be your friend.
Blonde boy: Why?
Gilbert: Because I’m lonely.
Blonde boy:……..
Tumblr media
Gilbert: You seem to have no problem making friends like this, so…..I'm never letting you go.
Blonde boy:…..Sighs.
Tumblr media
The first friend I made at Rhodolite was a blunt, impertinent boy who honestly didn't seem to be good at socializing.
Still, he is intelligent, and he is willing to engage in discussions that even adults could not come close to.
Every time I met him at a used book market, we would exchange books while reading it together.
Gilbert: I wonder why people with powers are always so corrupted.
At one point, I sat on a barrel in a back alley, closes a thick book on my lap, and uttered a few unrelated words.
This is my impression after reading all the history books of the continent written in ancient languages.
The blonde boy, sitting on the ground with one knee, was listening while reading the book without stopping.
Gilbert: They say continental history is from the nobility, but there are none.
Gilbert: Those who killed their own people to gain the throne, those who cheated other nations to expand their territory, and those who turned a blind eye to the suffering of their people……
Gilbert: Because it has a long history, there should be someone with a benevolent and kind monarch who is equal to everyone.
Gilbert:……No, people like that don't go down in history.
Blonde boy: No wonder.
Blonde boy: In today's society, a monarch who claims to be loving and equal would be the first to be eliminated.
Blonde boy: The one who has seized power will never let go of it again. If there is even a slight disadvantage, they would turn a blind eye.
Blonde boy: I don't know about the pain of others. That is part of human’s nature.
Gilbert: Hmm, I see.
I put my dangling feet on the ground and smiled brightly.
Gilbert: I think human beings are inherently conscientious creatures.
Gilbert: It's the world that makes people greedy, not the people themselves.
At this time, the images of Albert and my mother were in my mind.
The loved ones always lavish their affection on the sickly prince.
If Albert survives the battle, he will take the throne,
I was sure that he would be a king of love and equality.
While knowing that our homeland is a land of deceit and corruption,
I thought people had a conscience and took it for granted.
Blonde boy: According to your theory, there are no real bad people in the world.
Gilbert: Yeah. Because the essence of human beings is love.
Gilbert: The rotten monarchs who spun history could have been kind to others if the world was different.
Blonde boy:...You say very dreamy things, don't you?
Gilbert: It is, but whatever.
Gilbert: I like people.
My friend snickered at me, but at the time I was really thinking about it.
Tumblr media
The sickly prince was surrounded by kind people——
Because they didn't know about the real deception and corruption.
Tumblr media
Akatsuki: Hey, pipsqueak, what's up? You don't look so happy today.
When I arrived in the land of roses and the four seasons had come and gone, the letters I had received from the home country suddenly stopped.
A sense of foreboding swirls in my heart, and my smile is drawn back into a tight line.
Gilbert:…I think it's time for me to go home. Today is the last time I'll be here.
Akatsuki: I see.
Gilbert: Hey, big brother. Here, I got something for you.
I looked around, made sure no one was near us, and then, I handed him over the pass to Obsidian.
Obsidian, which had strict checkpoints since that time, was a difficult country for outsiders to enter.
An exception to this rule is the passport issued by the royal family, which allows easy entry into the country.
That is how strong the position of the royal family was in the country.
Gilbert: I wonder if you can sneak in and sell some books for me.
Akatsuki:…..All right. I also wanted to visit this country once.
Akatsuki: I promise I'll sell you books.
Gilbert: Thank you. Then, big brother is also my friend.
Akatsuki:….Yeah.
Perhaps the reason I wasn't too surprised when I handed over my Obsidian pass was because I had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.
Akatsuki puts the pass in his pocket and pats my head.
Akatsuki: I know it's a tough country. But....don’t change, pipsqueak.
Akatsuki: If you grow up to be the man you are today, you will become a wise ruler.
Gilbert: I don't know if it’s true....but, thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: ——Today is the last time I'll see you.
Blonde boy:…….
After Akatsuki, I have to bid farewell to the blonde boy.
Tumblr media
In the past year, even though we had a fair amount of interaction, nothing had changed, whether it was bluntness or impertinence.
Gilbert: You're so heartless. I can't believe you're not even sad for me.
Blonde boy: You've always been a one-sided talker. // It's probably just that you were always talking one-sidedly.
Gilbert: Well, that's right, but in the end….please tell me at least your name.
Blonde boy: It's a hassle.
Gilbert: Even though we are friends.
Blonde boy: I’m not sure. // I don’t know.
Gilbert: I'm going to cry.
Blonde boy: Then cry.
My first friend sighs in annoyance and hands me an envelope.
Gilbert: What's this?
Blonde boy: You’ve been coughing violently from time to time.
Gilbert:……
Blonde boy: I have a foolish younger brother who gets sick a lot. The doctor has been giving him tea regularly, but he's been sulking.
Gilbert:….I can't believe you’ve been nice to me at the very last minute.
The envelope is even carefully marked with the sender's name.
"Chevalier=Michel"...that seems to be his name.
I knew that, but it's the name of a prince of Rhodolite.
Gilbert: Hehe, thank you.
Gilbert: I'm Gilbert, by the way. Gilbert Kloss.
Chevalier:…."Kloss"….yes…
Gilbert: I hope we can remain friends the next time we meet.
Chevalier: We’ll see about that.
There are no more words for each other——
The exchange with my first friend also ended there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gilbert:……Albert…..
Gilbert: Mo….ther….?
The first thing that awaited me upon my return to the land of deceit and corruption was a row of corpses lining the walls.
The two stared into the distance with empty eyes.
The happy and peaceful time in the land of roses crumbled all at once.
Gilbert: Ah——……..
Gilbert:……Aah….AAAAAHH!
━━FLASHBACK━━
Albert: Listen, Gil. I'm on your side no matter what.
Albert: I promise. I won't leave you alone…..okay?
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
Gilbert:…Liar…..
Gilbert:…You Liar….
The sunset stained my eye.
The sunset was like the color of blood.
As I stood frozen like a stone statue in front of this unacceptable reality, a tap on my shoulder came from behind.
He was the patriarchal grandfather of the Kloss family, one of the noblest bloodlines in Obsidian.
Grandfather: Gilbert, I hope you are all right. I'm glad you didn't do anything foolish.
Gilbert: Foolish?
Grandfather: Yes. Of course, those two were against the emperor.
Grandfather: They deserve to die. They’re a disgrace to our family. Gilbert, you're the only one who can't bring any more shame on us.
Gilbert:……
The gentle world shatters into pieces.
And that's how I finally learned about the real world.
Tumblr media
Eldest brother: What, you're still alive? You're so stubborn for a sickly man.
Eldest brother: But the brother you loved is dead. There's no one left to protect you now.
Eldest brother: You can't wait to die eventually, but you want to see Albert as soon as possible, don't you?
Eldest brother: He took my idea seriously that if he wanted to stop killing each other, he should give his opinion to the emperor…..
Eldest brother: Ahaha, he’s an idiot. The Kloss family doesn't need weaklings like you guys.
Tumblr media
Gilbert:…..Is that all you have to say?
As we passed each other, I stabbed my brother's heart with a knife.
This was the beginning of the trampling beast.
Eldest brother: Y….You…..
Gilbert: What an idiot. We are in the middle of a battle for the throne, aren't we?
Gilbert: The weaklings should disappear quickly from my sight.
Mocking people's deaths and covering up the truth with deception.
There is no one who takes pleasure in oppressing the weak, and there is no one who cares for the weak.
There was a world out there that I could not have known when I was bedridden.
The land of corruption that Albert and my mother hid so well was full of stench and unbearable…..
I killed and killed and killed.
Tumblr media
The innocent boy who believed in love found himself killing almost all the members of the royal family,
I have done things that no one with "love" would ever do.
My own heart was false love.
Every time I kill someone, I realize that there is no such thing as love.
Both my mother and Albert betrayed me.
The foolishness of choosing death with the mouth that spun love is truly false love.
Whenever I saw something beautiful, I began to suspect that it was all just a trick of the mind.
The trampling beast has gone as far as it will go.
Tumblr media
The emperor: You…..
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Ahaha, you fool. I can't believe you fell for such an easy trap.
Then, after 10 years, on the bloodstained rose day.
The Emperor, who had decided to march on Rhodolite, was running across the battlefield,
He used several bribed soldiers to get false information and lure him into a deserted area.
The mad emperor, the root of all evil that caused the brothers to kill each other.
But I kept him alive until this day because I was not strong enough.
The emperor's swordsmanship was so divine that if we tried to interfere, we would be killed.
To kill him, I needed a weapon.
The weapon was finally completed on bloodstained rose day.
Gilbert: If you die, I will be the only member of the Obsidian royal family now, won't I?
I pointed the rifle of my cane at the emperor.
The normally bloodshot eyes of the emperor were somehow calm on this particular day.
Gilbert: I've been working on this weapon without your knowledge.
Gilbert: I am an impotent member of the royal family, so I have to use my cowardice to fight against you, a barbarian…..
Gilbert: Well, no words will ever reach you, so I guess that's enough. Good-bye.
The emperor: ——……As expected, of my red eyed son.
The moment I tried to pull the trigger, my fingers stopped at the words I heard.
Facing his own death, the emperor suddenly clapped his hands in praise.
The emperor: A beast among beasts. Indeed, the future of Obsidian is safe.
The emperor: You are the one who would be the best suited to the bloodstained throne. I have longed for such a successor.
Gilbert:……
The emperor: Come, kill me. And it would be better if the bloodstained country was more blackened by your generation.
The emperor: In the end, you were destined to become a trampling king…..just like me.
The emperor: Haha…..ahahaha!
Gilbert:…….
This time, I pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The emperor's body is thrown back and falls down the cliff.
Deep in the woods, where no one would ever come, became the graveyard of the mad emperor.
Gilbert:…. I see. I was wondering how a crazy emperor like you was born…..
Gilbert: I….guess I went the same way as you. // I….must have followed the same path as you.
I have killed relatives, I have killed nobles, my body has been defiled, my heart has been shattered.
Killing my biological father doesn't make me feel anything, but rather makes me smile.
Anyway, I couldn't stop laughing.
Gilbert: I’ve already….
Gilbert: Gone insane.
━━FLASHBACK━━
Tumblr media
Akatsuki: ——There's a girl who recently started coming to my store.
I suddenly remembered a trivial conversation that Akatsuki had with me while he was selling books.
Akatsuki: She's as lovely and adorable as a little rabbit.
Akatsuki: The girl had given candy to a crying boy in front of the store.
Akatsuki: That candy was her reward for helping me.
Akatsuki: She was happy to receive candy, but she gave it to someone else without hesitation.
Akatsuki: Seeing the boy stop crying, she looked even happier than when he received the candy.
Gilbert:….Heeh?
Akatsuki:…I thought she was just like you when you were at Rhodolite.
Akatsuki: She's a beautiful girl with a pure heart, just like you.
Perhaps Akatsuki had noticed.
That the innocent boy's heart has been broken and soiled…..
He may have started talking about her in an attempt to keep me forgetting about my broken heart.
She is a girl from the land of roses, like my former self, who believes in human love and has no doubts.
Every time I hear about her story, I am reminded that there are beautiful people in the world.
Even if I can't believe how beautiful it is….
Even if the child's heart is also false and may change someday anyway….
The "other me"(little rabbit) was my last hope.
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
Gilbert:…Oh well.
I put down the cane and looked up to the sky.
Gilbert: Even if it was an act of madness——
Gilbert: I don’t want her to be trampled by anyone other than me.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: ——Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was my first love.
Emma: First love?
Tumblr media
After returning to the room from the dance hall, Emma reacts sensitively to the words she accidentally spilled.
Emma: Did you have your first love, Lord Gilbert?
Forgetting that she was completely naked on the bed, she blinked her eyes.
Gilbert: Why are you so surprised?
Emma: Since I came to this castle, I haven’t seen any women hanging around with Lord Gilbert at all, which is surprising…..
Gilbert: Oh, man, I'm a handsome man, too, you know?
Gilbert: I do this kind of thing to you every day.
When I bit into Emma’s soft chest, her delicate body bounced while she was on my lap.
The fingertips that were on my shoulders tightened, and I secretly smiled.
Emma: W—What kind of person were you?
Gilbert: Let’s see….
Gilbert: I won't tell you for free.
Emma:……
(I don't think it's worth asking.)
(….Or maybe I don’t think so myself.)
When I looked into her eyes with a smile, a warm hand was placed on my cheek as she kissed me.
As she repeatedly nibbled over and over again to transfer heat to my cold lips, I felt more frustration than satisfaction.
Gilbert: Hey, are you doing this on purpose?
Emma: What…do you mean?
Gilbert: More like….this?
I put my finger in her mouth and lightly stroked her tongue, and she seemed to understand what I meant.
She nodded with a bright red face and kissed me again, deeper than before.
Her tongue was entwined with mine in a stuttering manner, and I felt the heat circulate not only through my lips but also through my fingertips.
As I teased her heat with my fingertips, and suddenly our kisses turned sloppy.
Emma: Haa…..nn——
Gilbert: That was close.
Emma:….It wasn’t good….?
Gilbert: Yeah, you got comfortable first. // Yeah, you made me feel good first.
I bit down Emma’s neck, which covers her face with both hands, and then leaves bite marks on her shoulder and chest.
Sometimes sucking on the skin and adding long-lasting marks.
The remnants of daily lovemaking pile up, and Emma is full of marks now.
Gilbert: Hehe…how pitiful.
When I kissed her to caress the marks, the hand that was holding my shoulder trembled.
Emma: If that's how you feel, then go easy on me.
Gilbert: I can't go easy on loving you.
Emma:…It's not fair.
Gilbert: I've only ever done this to you, by the way.
Emma:….Really?
Gilbert: Yes. I’m all for you.
Gilbert: I just wondered if this moment was my first love.
When I confess, Emma freezes for a few seconds and then lightly taps me on the shoulder.
Emma: Was it me….?
Gilbert: Yes. My first love is strong, isn’t she?
(Whenever I told Walter about the girl Akatsuki told me about, he would always ask if she was my first love….)
(….Yeah i might have loved her.)
I hate pure things because you never know when they will get dirty.
But at the same time, it reminds me of how I felt when I loved someone.
Akatsuki has told me about the little rabbit over the years…..
She showed no signs of changing, but I somehow developed a liking for her.
(Even if I forced myself, I wanted to see you at the end….)
(Maybe it's because I wanted confirmation that "no matter what happens, it won't get dirty.")
The "Last Judgment" was not intended to see if a compromise could be reached through communication.
If she doesn't change no matter what happens, then I think the essence of human nature is still love…..
I just wanted to do such a final struggle.
(….Actually, I was thinking about just watching over.)
(I had already sowed the seeds of malice in Benitoite and Jade….)
(By watching her face them, I was able to make the final judgment.)
But...in the end, I didn't.
There was no way I could hold back in front of Emma, whom I had admired for so long.
(I ruined her peaceful life for my own personal reasons….)
Gilbert:…Hey, Emma.
I inserted my fingers between her legs and asked her while she’s writhing.
Gilbert: Am I crazy?
Emma:……
(No, I don't even have to ask.)
Gilbert:…..Sorry, just forget about it.
Gilbert: If I’m not crazy, then who——
Emma: I….don’t like crazy people.
(…….)
Emma: You’re troublesome, difficult, jealous, and you do bad things without a care in the world….
Emma:….Never have I ever thought you were crazy.
I was hugged tightly around my head.
(….After I've killed so many people.)
(…….)
(Ah, but...I see. There is only one difference between the mad emperor and me.)
Gilbert: Because you were there for me.
The emperor loved no one as much as he loved himself.
But I decided to love again at the very end of my life. // But I decided to love again in my last moments.
The presence of the little rabbit, brought to me by Akatsuki, has connected our hearts,
Perhaps that’s the way of rebuilding my broken heart now.
Gilbert:….Don't go anywhere.
Our bodies flushed together.
When I hold her slim waist close to me, her sweet breath and voice stir my ears.
Gilbert: And you can't die before I do, okay?
(….I feel hot….)
I took off my shirt and hold Emma again.
At the time, the scars from the treatment were not very good to show, but now it's healed properly.
Emma: Aah…Lord Gilbert…please live…a long life.
Emma: I…would be lonely….without you.
(….I know.)
(Loneliness is a disgusting thing.)
(….It's an emotion she shouldn't have to experience as beautiful as she is.)
Gilbert: How bad has it gotten for the little rabbit to ask such a favor from the evil emperor?
(I thought the blood of the royal family should be eradicated….but like any human being, I got greedy.)
Because it is a wish that is contrary to ambition, I laugh bitterly at what to do.
(But……we'll figure that out later.)
Now I have another desire.
(To be honest, I'm still afraid to trust her…..)
(At the end of my life, I wanted to love her.)
(….That's all.)

My darling Bakerᰔᩚ
Fatgum x Black!Reader
When Fat gum first met you, he was hooked. But you were stubborn, as a black person is, So he just wins you over, step by step.
Quirk: Ivy. You are practically Ivy from Marvel, Only if you overuse your quirk, you will very well die because the plant quirk makes you pretty immune to shit. So when you do get sick, HELLA Fatal🥰
Tumblr media
Y/N was a owner of the Bakery downtown, "The Blooming Garden" . The bakery was your dream since you were little, as you weren't exactly(allowed/ didn't want to/ wasn't qualified ect. ) to be a hero.
You loved your bakery. It was your pride, your livelihood. You couldn't imagine being without your bakery because of a villain. It was too horrible for you to imagine.
The first time you met Fat gum was when he was in his slim form and needed to refill. Fatgun was around 5'11 or 6'0, you couldn't tell.
Now in his normal form, he's a solid 8'2. But you've never seen Fatgum, nor his slim form. So you, the innocent baker, though he was just a new customer.
"Wow.. I didn't expect a actual garden..-" He said, genuinely impressed at the flowers and vines that gave the place a cozy meadow vibe. Taishiro would look at the baker who was kneading some dough and his heart skipped a beat.
Why were you so perfect? The way the afternoon sun hit your dark skin and how your hair swayed with each movement of your hands, he thought he had died and went to heaven.
It took you a minute to notice the tall man. Once you did you smiled warmly at him and stopped what you were doing. "Welcome to my Bakery! What is on your cravings list Today dear?"
Oh sweet cinnamon rolls you done got this man way to deep
His face flushed a bright pink and he smiled nervously. "Ah- Well I'm new around here so, Can I get one of everything?" He asked, taking notice your taken aback expression.
Not once did ANYBODY say they wanted one of everything. That's damn near 150 dollars. You raised a eyebrow and huffed.
"Listen, I get you are new to this bakery, but I don't do things like that unle-" You paused as he got out cash money. So he was serious??
"How much would that be?" He asked, smiling at you with that bright aura of his. It was obvious he didn't hear what you were just saying as he was absorbed into his own world.
"... 150.00-" Y/N sighed in defeat, going behind the counter and putting one of every baked sweet you had in their assortment boxes, then proceeding to hand him the bag after ringing up the items.
The hero smiled even brighter at how you had given up on denying him and just snickered at how adorable your pout was. "Cute.." He mumbled before turning to walk out the door.
"Bye hun, See you soon." Taishiro said, eating a blueberry muffin as the door jingled at his exit.
A hour later you were closing up shop when you remembered him. "Seriously, Is he ok.." You muttered.
After closing the bakery you couldn't help but feel a bit more uneasy at how dark it was.
"Is it seriously 7:00?" Y/N questioned she made her way back to her house. Now you weren't dumb or oblivious, so you noticed it quickly when you felt the eyes of a unknown person on you after walking past a alleyway.
You especially knew it was on you went past the police station and the feeling you were being watched dismissed only after you past said police station.
Eventually you paused and turned around, dropping your bag with a clenched fist next to you and staring into the darkness that you just left. You opened your mouth and intensified your stare.
Being the one person who has actively planned out a death but never went through with it you just stood there. The offender took a step towards you and you instantly lifted your hand. He raised an eyebrow as you opened your mouth to speak.
"Alright you disgusting stalker weirdo come on over so I can knock some sense into you.." Y/n said through gritted teeth as she rolled her sleeves up and prepared herself for a fight.
The person stepped into view and smiled. "Why there's no need to be violent baby, we can talk this out at my place with a bottle of wine, what do you say?" This guy was a new female offender, as he was now known for stalking women before convincing them to go with him, then he'd kill them.
"Touch me and you lose your ability to tell you mouth from your ass." You said, Your hair now covering your eye as the guy ran and laid a nasty finger on your shoulder.
The next morning you were at the bakery, making some cinnamon rolls that was called in, along with some beef teriyaki, when Fatgum in his fat form and his work study students walked in. The red-haired one looked around in awe at how nature themed the place was. The purple haired one with his hood up just stayed hidden behind Fatgum.
You didn't know any of them. You remembered faces, and Fatgum seemed similar to the guy who came in yesterday, the jackets were the same. As you finished frosting the cinnamon rolls, you heard the red one say how Manly your bakery was. It made you snicker at how honest he sounded.
"Why thank you, built it myself and nearly died." You said as the red one's eyes widened. You took notice of all three's shocked expression as some other customers walked in with gifts. You were quite confused, it wasn't (birthday) yet, was it??
Just as you doubted, it was your birthday. These people were your friends from high school, and some recent friends who frequent your café. They all focused on you, not even sparing The three a word other than "Excuse me." or "Morning." before smothering you in endless love and support.
You got them to settle down just enough to apologize to Fatgum, Kirishima and Amajiki. "I deeply apologize about this. I don't know why but around these parts of town my birthday has become some time of celebration."
You said before packing up the large cinnamon rolls and the beef teriyaki. "And it's on the house." After handing the two boxes to Fatgum everyone walked out the bakery and gave you enough space to close it early for the day.
"Oh yeah, Y/N you have a stain that looks like blood on your bag." One of your friends said and you deadpanned you slowly turned to them with murder in your eyes. "I killed someone before opening the bakery." You said, making it unable for everyone else to tell if you were serious or not.
"I'm joking!" You said, flicking their nose. "It's ketchup from the spaghetti I had last night." Y/n laughed and her friends laughed. "You are a dark person." Your male friend said before both of your friends walked you away to you're favorite hangout spot, leaving Fatgum and his students standing at the bakery.
A/n- This is gonna be a part one and I'll work on the dabi part two when I wake up tomorrow. Love y'all <3
