Take It All Back (Black Clover)

Okay so...I don't know how to explain this one kjarkjajkrjek I had a really bad case of Zorafin on my hands and needed to write it out! The ship has taken me by the jugular and I'm okay with that lols. I hope you like it!

CW: Swearing, Angst, Black Clover Ep. 87 spoilers!

Cloud 9 (Taglist Peeps):

@duckymcdoorknob @rachi-roo @imjusthere07

Summary: Finral's having severe self doubts about himself and his place in the Black Bulls. He finds comfort and something more from an unlikely source.

Finral would call his self-confidence a work in progress.

There were days where he thrived, pulling out all the stops during a practice session with the Bulls or saving the day with his portal magic just when they needed it. There was a rare but special tug of pride in his chest when that happened.

Then there were days like today where that tug of pride felt more like an anchor in his chest, dragging him further and further down his high and reminding him of all his shortcomings. “You’re nothing more than a taxi.” “Who would ever want you? Your own parents didn’t even want you!” “You’re a waste of space in the Bulls. You’re nothing without them- a living breathing parasite-”

“Boo.” A finger jabbed his hip from behind, making him jump forward with a startled squeak. “Did I scare ya?”

“No- I just make that noise in my downtime.” Finral grumbled as he turned around, finding none other than Zora Ideale before him. Something about the masked redhead made his spine tingle, sending goosebumps along his skin beneath his long sleeves. “What do you want, anyway?”

“Oo, someone’s grumpy today.” Those damn eyebrows- he looked so smug! “What’s the matter? Captain got you delivering toilet paper to him again? You’re kinda like a delivery man.”

Nothing but a taxi.

He was wounded, and it must have shown on his face by the wide eyed surprise Zora wore. “Shit- sorry man. I didn’t mean to cut you.”

“No- no, it’s not-” Finral willed his face to neutral out, trying to force the stinging behind his eyes back. “You didn’t do anything wrong; I just…” Something hot ran down his face. Shit. Shit, shit, shit.

“Finral…” Zora looked alarmed, reaching out.

“I gotta go! Erm, important business; bye!” He whirled around and ran, opening a portal as he did. Zora’s cry for him to stop was the last thing he heard before the magic closed out all sound, including the weak sob he made.

~~~

Weak. Pathetic. What kind of senior bull member was he to suddenly start crying in front of the rookie?

Finral slumped in his bed, the sentiment pulsing through him like a wound as he glared into his wet pillow. He’s not usually so quick to tears- and when they did come, he learned to hide them well. What the hell happened out there? Why of all people did he have to start crying in front of Zora?

Was it too late to fade away in the walls? He supposed he could do a Gordon; become so quiet and soft spoken he’d be nothing but a ghost.

…He really shouldn’t view his teammate like that.

Before he could wallow in shame further, someone knocked. Slow and heavy; not like Vanessa’s quick and playful ones- nor were Magna’s aggressive banging. This was the kind of knock he wasn’t familiar with at all. “Hello?” He called out.

“Hey…it’s me.” Zora? Finral felt his heart drop into his stomach, a surge of anxiety hitting him so strongly he felt nauseous.

“H-Hang on!” He called, running to the bathroom with shaky legs. Splashing water on his face, he tried to wipe away his earlier tears, cringing at how red his eyes looked. Fixing his hair, he straightened up, smoothing out his shirt and taking a quick breath. It was what it was.

Opening the door, he put on his best smile, the one he used to charm the ladies in town. “Hello there, Zora. How can I help you?”

The second he met Zora’s eyes his confidence crumbled. Green irises took him in, from the wetted down hair to the fragile smile to the shaky pose. “Hey…can I come in?”

“Sure! Sure, have a seat!” Finral stepped back, trying to breathe. God, this was falling apart faster than he planned. “Your probably wondering why I ran away-”

“I’m sorry.”

“That’s my line.” Finral blurted out, then froze, embarrassed. “Wait- huh?”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that- the delivery man thing.” Zora ran a hand through his hair, the tops of his cheeks heating in shame as he looked away. “I hadn’t realized how it came out. I’m really sorry.”

“...I…” Finral gaped, looking for words. He was the one that was supposed to apologize- a senior Bull running away from his rookie over a dumb comment; how unprofessional of him. That’s what he figured Zora came by for; not this! “It’s okay, really. You don’t need to apologize-”

“I made you cry.” Zora looked angry, but not at Finral. “I hurt you.”

“...No, no you didn’t.” Finral sighed, gesturing for him to sit down. “It wasn’t you that made me cry, I’m just having a bad day.”

“My comment didn’t help.” Zora argued, no heat in his tone. Finral shrugged, a tired laugh escaping.

“No, it didn’t. But I forgive you.”

Zora nodded, something like relief passing over him. “Do you…erm, do you want to talk about it?” He seemed so awkward then, like it was new territory he was crossing. It was new for Finral too.

At first, he didn’t say much, just reiterated that he was having a bad day. But after a gentle push from Zora, he let it go. He found himself talking about his insecurity and how lately he felt as if he’d contributed nothing to the team. How he could easily be replaced by a speedy broom and a map, and how while he was making some progress in using his spacial magic for more than transportation, it wasn’t enough to justify his place in the team.

At some point, Zora had moved over so he was sitting beside him on the bed. Now he was supporting him, an arm rubbing soothing circles against Finral’s back as the other sniffled out the last of his pain, wiping at his tears. He didn’t push for details, nor did he give any commentary; he just sat there and listened.

Finally, when his tears came to an end and Finral could somewhat breathe again, Zora hummed in thought. “That…sounds like literal hell.”

Finral snorted, oddly comforted by Zora’s way of words. “It is. But it’s not the team’s fault. No one makes me feel this way, it’s just my own stupidity.”

“You’re not stupid. You're the farthest thing from stupid.” Zora cut in firmly, taking Finral by surprise. “Don’t call yourself that.”

“But it’s true. Why else would I feel the way I feel?” Finral shrugged, something bitter in his gesture. “I’m in a team surrounded by amazing people, and yet here I am wallowing in self pity. Surely that makes me seem pathetic, doesn't it.”

Zora stared at him, stunned. Then he glared, a look so ferocious Finral felt taken aback. “How dare you.”

“Huh?”

“You dare talk bad about the Finral of the Black Bulls in my presence?” Zora raised up some, eyes glistening with unreadable rage. “A man with such brilliance for strategy and a kindness you can’t find anywhere else- and you dare call him pathetic?”

“Zora, what the hell are you saying- whoa!” Finral yelped when he was pushed back into the bed, the redhead hovering over him. “Zora?”

“I’ll make you pay. Take it back right now.” Zora growled. The mask made him even scarier, yet Finral felt no true malice in his presence. Was he braver than he thought?

“I don’t know what you’re going on about.” Finral decided after a moment. “But as your senior Bull member, I will not acknowledge your threats. I ref-ehehehehehehehehehehehe!” He couldn’t finish his statement before fingers found his ribs, worming gently along the warm fabric of his tunic. “Zohoohohohora, whahahahhait!”

“I told you to take it back. You’re gonna apologize for saying such foul things about Finral or I’ll make you!” Zora was inches from his face, fingers carrying on their game as he walked them up and down the other man’s sides. This close, Finral could see the truth now. Zora was far from angry.

He was looking mighty mischievous.

“Noohohoohoho way! Thehehhehey’re true! I knohohohow- I ahahahham him!” Finral giggled out, gently swatting at Zora’s hands as they moved to his lowest rib set. “Thehehehehy’re faahahha-AHAHHACTUAL!”

“Impossible- you can’t be Finral! The Finral I know would never call himself those things. He’s not a parasite, he’s not a taxi, and he certainly isn’t a pathetic person! He’s great- he makes good coffee in the morning and listens to me ramble about stupid shit throughout the day- and he doesn’t care if I nap during practice!”

“I dohohoohoohohoho chahahahahhahre! Yohohohohou juhuhuuhuhust doohohohon’t lihihihihisten!”

“Hm…yeah, you got a point.” Zora mused, moving back to his highest ribs and making Finral squeal. “But mine still stands- you're a great guy. I’ll ask one more time before I go all out; take that bullshit back.”

“Eheh…ehehehehe….heheh…” Finral gasped for air when the tickles came to a pause, weighing his options. He knew where this was going; and he knew if he did as demanded, Zora would keep his word. He could be spared.

But…

“Nohohooho way! I mehahhahan it!” Finral raised his chin, firm in his decision. The look in Zora’s eyes did funny things to his stomach. Seems like they were on the same page now.

“Oh do you?” Zora raised a brow.. His smile was particularly dangerous as he pulled Finral’s arms up and over his head, pinning them in place with a single grip. “Shame.”

The next few minutes were a blur in Finral’s mind. The second those dastardly fingers touched his armpits it was all over. “AHEHAHAHAHHAHAHA! OOHOHOHOOKAY OHOOHOHHOKAY I TAHEHEHEKE IT BAHAHAHCK! I TAHAHHAHAHKE IT BACK PLEAHAHHAHAHSE!”

“Hmmmm….okay.” Zora decided just as Finral grabbed his collar; yanking him down and throwing him off balance. The redhead shot his arms out, stopping a full blown collision.

“PLehehehase!” Finral gasped, slowly coming too as the tickles faded. “Please….oh, hello there.” He felt himself flush for a new reason: Zora's face inches from his own.

“Hello to you too. Come here often?” His voice was a husky whisper, blue eyes like the deepest part of the ocean as they gazed down into Finral’s. He even had long lashes!

Finral always liked long lashes.

He felt his breath catch, eyes starting to droop as Zora reached up for the corner of his mask-

A bang on the door drew them both apart, Zora shooting up in a daze and leaving Finral feeling somewhat cold. “Finral- whatever your doing in there, hurry up. We got a mission.” Captain Yami’s voice boomed even through the thick wooden doors. Footsteps faded soon after, sobering the younger man.

“Shit- I’m so sorry! I don’t know what happened-”

“Nah, you're fine. I came here to comfort you and-”

“I dragged you onto me! What kind of guy am I-”

“No complaints here.”

That last part stopped Finral in his tracks. “What?” He blinked, staring at the redhead.

“No complaints. In fact-I wouldn’t mind if we picked this back up after your mission.” Zora waggled his brows, a gesture so cheesy Finral couldn’t help but laugh. “Interested, teleporter?”

It all felt like a blur, this whole thing. One minute he was wallowing in self-pity, the next he was being comforted AND tickled to death by the strange redheaded mage before him. And now…

“Are you…asking me out?” Finral tried not to sound so unsure. Zora only smiled at him.

“Would you say yes if I was?”

Finral considered. Then he raised his chin stubbornly. “Not like that. If you’re gonna ask me out, do it right. Like this.” He stood, standing tall before the older man and putting on his best smile. “Would you go out with me, Zora Ideale.”

“You stole my line.” Zora sounded almost breathless, shaking his head with an easy grin. “Sounds fun. Yes, I will.”

Thanks for reading!

Zorafin animal transformation

its been so long since ive written about these two... lets see if ive lost my touch X’3!!

“What the heck is going on in here?” Zora asked loudly as he stepped into the common room. Yeah, the Black Bulls were always a rowdy bunch but somehow they felt even crazier than normal. He could only imagine what’d gotten them all so worked up.

“Booby kitty! Booby kitty!” Luck cheered.

“Am I supposed to know what that means...” Zora replied flatly. Though if he had to guess, he’d look towards the squad’s number one source of boobs. Zora glanced over at the couch that Vanessa was stretched out across and saw that she did indeed have a cat asleep on her chest. All right. He didn’t get the big deal about th-

The light brown cat’s tail flicked in its sleep and Zora was surprised to see a flash of green fur. The same color green as a certain member of the squad liked to dye his hair. Zora didn’t take his eyes off of the cat as he asked, “Where’s Finral?”

“He got hit with a spell and turned into Finnyan!” Luck laughed as he pointed to the sleeping cat.

“Yeah, he was acting crazy too! Just like a real cat!” Magna agreed loudly. “Guy wouldn’t stop rubbing against the captain’s ankles then he kept getting too close to Luck and causing little static shocks to anyone that touched either of them. He also tried to chew on my shoes like a jerk. After Charmy fed him a meal fit for a king he found the most comfortable spot he could and passed out.”

Zora watched in disbelief as Vanessa rubbed the cat’s little head and cooed at him. She received a soft meow before he rolled over.

That did not sit well with him at all. Something ugly bubbled in his gut and he stomped over to the couch then snatched the cat off her. He hugged Finral to his chest and snapped, “What is wrong with you people? Why is no one looking for a cure?”

“Theyyyy... diiiiid... looook...” Henry’s voice came from seemingly nowhere. “It’s going... tooo... lastttt-”

“Only a couple weeks is the estimated time, ya jerk!” Magna finished the thought.

Zora sucked his teeth and shook his head. “He’ll never survive that with the likes of you idiots.”

“Are you taking responsibility for his wellbeing then?” Yami asked around the cigarette in his mouth.

“Anyone got a problem with that?” Zora grumbled.

“I never knew you were a cat person, Zora!” Vanessa looked amazed. She took a swig out of a wine bottle she pulled from god-knows where then laughed. “But if you get tired of him, my chest is always free!”

Zora didn’t dignify that with a response. He took the little fuzzball to his room and shut the door. Only then did he finally release Finral and let him wander free. Ugh. What a mess. Zora fell face first onto his bed with a grunt.

He didn’t know what’d gotten into him back there. Even if Finral had caught his eye a while ago, he’d been so good about not letting that show. Not that it was difficult since the guy never had any interest in him either. Just like earlier, he was comfiest with the fairer sex.

A soft trill caught his attention then he felt something land on the bed. Zora lifted his head and watched Finral sniff him curiously. That fluffy tail of his was entirely too stylish for a cat. He held out his hand and Finral immediately rubbed against it. Zora turned his hand so he could scratch beneath the cat’s chin. He watched those purple eyes fall shut before Finral began to purr.

“Why can’t you act this interested in me as a human, huh?” Zora asked. As expected, he didn’t receive a response. He simply watched as Finral headbutted his hand gently then licked his finger. He was adorable no matter what form he took. That just wasn’t fair.

[snip...]

♡♡♡

Zora opened his eyes and blinked slowly. There was an unfamiliar weight against him. He glanced down at his torso to find Finral back to normal and fast asleep. After the majority of two whole weeks of hanging out with him in cat form it was almost a shame to have to go back to anything else. Almost.

He bent his arm so he could pet Finral’s hair. It was just as soft as the cat fur he’d gotten used to stroking. Though there was one thing that the cat form couldn’t hold a candle to. That was just how pretty the guy was. Zora wasn’t sure they’d ever been this close before. He almost didn’t want it to end.

As if in response to his thought, Finral stirred. He blinked once, twice, then it seemed like the situation hit him. He yelped in surprise and bolted upright. Only then did he notice his nakedness. He yanked the covers up to hide his shame while stuttering nonsense.

“Welcome back,” Zora muttered.

“What! Why am I-! Why are you-!” Finral couldn’t even finish his thoughts. He could only shake his head and let out strangled sounds.

Zora explained the situation as calmly as he could. He was sure he sounded indifferent, actually. Which was probably for the best. He watched the way that Finral’s cheeks darkened as he thanked him for looking out for his wellbeing. Too bad that was an entirely selfish act. He didn’t deserve thanks.

Finral’s gaze fell downward as he muttered, “I should, uh...go to my room and get dressed then go see the captain...”

And so just like that everything would be back to normal. Zora hated the thought. Normal sucked. He sat upright, unashamed by his own nakedness, and hugged the other man. His surprised yelp was too cute. But Zora couldn’t focus on that right now. His voice was barely above a whisper as he sighed, “Don’t go back to acting like I don’t exist.”

“I... huh?” Finral blinked rapidly.

Zora released him, laid back down, and rolled over so that his back was to him. He waved a dismissive hand in the air as he replied, “Nothing, forget it.”

Finral grabbed the nearby empty pillow and hit the redhead with it. “Aren’t you the one who always acts like I don’t exist!”

“How the hell do you figure tha...t?” Zora stopped when he turned back towards the other man. Finral’s frown was cute as heck but that’s not what gave him pause. No, it was the pair of light brown cat ears atop his head that’d blended in with his hair until he’d gotten upset. Now they were faced backwards with his displeasure. Zora couldn’t do anything but burst into a fit of laughter.

“Are you a crazy person?” Finral asked as he hit him with the pillow again. “What’s so funny!”

Zora reached up and tugged on the ear closest to him as he replied, “Says the guy with cat ears!”

Finral squeaked then put both hands atop his head. He felt the ears and went pale. Something slapped the bed behind him and when he turned to look he saw a brown tail as well. Finral hid his face in his hands and mumbled, “It’s not completely worn off! I can’t face everyone like this!”

Zora finally managed to stop laughing. The room went silent. He waited for Finral to peek at him through his fingers then held out his arms and muttered, “All the more reason to stay here with me, then.”

Finral opened his mouth then shut it again. He let out a defeated sigh then accepted the offer and laid down. He scooted close to the redhead, seeking warmth. Things could’ve been worse, after all.

Zora made sure they were both covered with the blankets. Then he went back to idly playing with Finral’s soft hair. He smiled to himself when he heard soft purring. Maybe this cat thing had been a blessing in disguise all along.

Hi hi! Could i please req zora and finral with ❤be mine for the event? I'm the same person whose requested them before lol and the way you write zorafin is just so amazing and cute so thank you so much for accepting the other reqs 💖💖💖

Oh my goodness, heyo! :D Welcome back friend! And ahhh, zorafin! I was hoping for some black clover for the event, and these two are perfect! :D Of course friend! Thank you for coming back to give us some more zorafin goodness!

Mild content warning for suggestive flirting- I feel like Zora would make it his life mission to get Finral blushing, you know?

Be Mine: "Oh that is IT! Come here!"

“How dare you.” Zora huffed, giving Finral a once over when he walked into the room. “Walking in here looking like that? You’ve got some nerve.”

“Walk in looking like…?” Finral blinked, confused by his boyfriend’s annoyance. At least- he thought he was annoyed- it was hard to tell with that mask on. “I’m just walking in.”

“That’s the thing! You came into this room looking like a whole snack!” Zora sat back in his chair, nodding in approval. “Scratch that- you’re looking like a whole meal. Got any utensils? Or should I just use my teeth?”

“Tch- shut up.” Finral rolled his eyes, turning away to hide the blush spreading down his neck. Okay- definitely not annoyed. Annoying maybe…

“Why? Can’t handle it, hot stuff?” Zora’s eyes danced, clearly pleased with the reaction he was getting. “I bet I could. Just so you know- you’re always welcome to portal into my room at any time.”

“Y-You!” Finral whirled, face beat red and eyes wide. This motherfu-! Zora was oozing smugness, eyes dancing with glee. “Don’t make me come over there-”

“Ooo, whatcha gonna do to me? Actually- don’t tell me. I wanna be surprised.” Zora had the audacity to wink. WINK!

“That is IT! Come here!” Finral stormed over, more of less tackling the other into his seat. Zora’s eyes flashed with intrigue, thinking this was going somewhere.

Oh it was alright.

“Aww, couldn’t reist me, ba-ahehehehhahaha! Hohoohohld on! Wahhahahait a miihihihihnute!” The redhead yelped as fingers danced along his sides, scratching at his bare skin with relentless pressure. “No dohohoohn’t!”

“Aww, I thought you said you could handle it.” Finral cooed back at him, deeply amused by Zora’s growing giggles. Reaching up with one hand, he undid the mask, taking in his boyfriend’s beautiful smile. “Since we’re on the topic of snacks, I’d say you’re a pretty fine one yourself, babe. What a grin- like a painting in a museum. I could stare at it for hours.”

“Thhahahahaht was shohohohoohoh chehhehehehehhehessy! Ahehahahahha, whehehehre’d you gehehhehet thathhaht? A Huhuhuhundred and Ohohoohone wahahahhays to flihihihihirt?” Zora jeered through his laughter, arching with a cackle when Finral went for the center of his belly.

“Oh, you really are asking for it!” Finral snickered, enjoying himself. “Alright then- have it your way! One life size serving of tickles, coming your way!”

~Send me a pairing and a candy heart phrase~
