Letâs try pinning this one again! If youâre still getting harassed by anonymous asks that declare rumors or lies about me, I kindly ask you to read this post! I think I covered everything in it.Â
Anyways, welcome to my blog and my silly list of fanfics! Most of my stories have tickling in them, so if you donât like it, then you donât need to read it! Iâll write for the fandoms I love the most, and occasionally take requests! Enjoy!
First, I get that sheâs not âuwu and wholesumâ but whatever you think of Safi donât go to artists works and type that unnecessary shit??
Imo Safi was probably the best part of double exposure. But I donât go to people who hate that game or her character to let them know cause well, THEY DIDNT ASK
Some of you need to learn how to behave and give your negative opinion or take whenever in the right place at the right time WHEN ASKED
âââ
Second âI just think youâre better than thisâ
Hereâs the thing
I DONT KNOW YOU PEOPLE
Iâm just an artist from the internet, unless weâve been in the same server for some time and we talk in private
Other wise IM JUST A STRANGER TO YOU WHO POSTS ART OF CHARACTERS YOU LIKE
There were times in the fandom where people crossed my boundaries and I had to hold back cause I donât wanna come off as âdifficultâ or have my words be misconstrued (esp as someone who ships a controversial couple)
And third thing, Iâm allowed to like flawed characters as much as I like!
I love most of the grand theft auto protagonists who did some heinous unforgivable shit, at least safis motives make sense sheâs not completely evil sheâs mad as hell cause every person in her life failed her and maya (INCLUDING HER OWN MOTHER)
Also as a long time middle eastern lis fan, I appreciate safi for being a complex and complicated Arab character- I never thought Iâd ever see something like this in this white as hell franchise
Just let me have it for gods sake, sometimes I regret posting stuff when I get comments like these
A/N: I finally watched Kpop Demon Hunters and while I was skeptical at first, I fell in love these three ladies from the start. I simply had to write for them. This takes place towards the end of the movie so if you haven't seen it yet, consider yourself warned for spoilers!
Summary: Rumi keeps isolating herself in her room after the events of the Idol Awards.
Warnings: Spoilers if you haven't watched it yet!
Word Count: 2925
Rumi found herself on her bed in her room, covered in a blanket as she stared out of the huge window. She had no idea how long sheâd been sitting there for. Her mind was repeatedly going over everything that had happened in the past few days, and it made her lose track of time and space. The Idol Awards. The Saja Boys. Demon Mira and Zoey exposing her true nature to the world. Jinu tricking her. Jinu sacrificing himself to save her. Zoey and Mira coming back to her. Saving the world and restoring the Honmoon. So much had happened in so little time, and while they had managed to restore balance to the world, it felt like her own balance had been destroyed in a way. Everyone knew what she was. A demon. How long before they would turn on her. How long beforeâ
âRumi?â A voice asked, making her head snap up. Zoey and Mira stood in front of her bed, unable to hide the worried look on their faces. She hadnât even heard them enter.
âOh, hey there,â She said, forcing a smile that fooled nobody.
âYouâre doing it again,â Mira pointed out as she sat down on the bed next to Rumi, making the other hunter look up at her.Â
âDoing what?â Rumi asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion at her. In all honesty, she wasnât sure what Mira meant specifically.
âYouâre covering yourself up again, and youâre isolating yourself in your room,â Zoey finished as she sat down too, gently tugging at the blanket that was wrapped around her shoulders. Oh.
âItâs nothing,â She muttered, yet it couldnât be further from the truth. No matter how hard sheâd tried to pretend she was fine after saving the world, something had fractured inside of her that day.
âLiar,â Mira said, yet there was no venom behind the accusation. Instead, it made Rumi laugh softly as she shook her head.
âYeah no, that didnât even convince me,â She sighed before resting her chin on her pulled up knees. Mira and Zoey shared a sad look.
âDo you want to talk about it? You donât have to, but weâre here for you,â The black haired hunter said while gently placing her hand on Rumiâs leg. Did she want to talk about it?
âItâs just⌠I keep having nightmares. About everything that happened that day,â She started, chewing her lower lip as she looked at the two. It wasnât a complete lie, but it also wasnât the full truth. Not the actual thing that was hurting her. When they gave her an encouraging nod, she opened her mouth to continue yet no sound came out. What did she even want to say? Where to start? How could she possibly say this to them without making them feel bad? As if able to read her mind, Mira placed a hand on her arm.
âItâs okay,â She simply said while looking into Rumi's eyes, and somehow that was enough to break through the dam of emotions sheâd been trying to hold back. Tears suddenly made her eyes sting, and she quickly wiped them away.
âI canât help it but⌠every time I close my eyes I can still picture you both backstage, aiming your weapons at me with looks of disgust like IâmâŚâ She said, her voice cracking at the end. Like Iâm a monster, she thought. She tried not to wince at how both of her friends flinched at the words. She knew they felt very guilty towards her, which was the main reason she hadnât brought it up earlier. But she couldnât hold it back any longer.
âRumiâ,â Mira started, yet stopped as the leader of the Huntrix shook her head.
âI know I shouldnât hold you accountable for it. I know you both merely reacted how you were trained to. I know better! But⌠to me, it just confirmed my worst thoughts, the thoughts I had been fighting for years. That Iâm a monster. A mistake. That Iâm untrustworthy, that I donât deserve good things in life and that I should just be alone. That I donât deserve to live,â Rumi continued, her voice nothing more than a whisper. When she felt two pairs of arms around her in an embrace, she was pulled out of her own thoughts with a soft gasp.
âYouâre not a monster, Rumi! You never were!â Zoey said, making Rumi look up at her face. The younger hunter had tears in her eyes and she sounded desperate.
âSheâs right, Rumi. I fucked up badly for pointing my spear at you. I should never have done it, I should have trusted you, and Iâll never forgive myself for making that mistake,â Mira said, sounding equally desperate. Rumi could only shake her head at them.
âNo, you⌠you only did what you were taught. You were right not to trust me, I lied to you both for so long about what I am,â She muttered, grabbing Miraâs and Zoeyâs hands.
âAnd you were only doing what you were taught. Iâm pretty sure Celine made you keep quiet and hide it from us, because âour fears and faults must never be seenâ right?â Zoey asked carefully, making their leader blink.
âHow did youââ Rumi asked, yet this time she was stopped by Mira gently placing her hand on her face, making her look into her eyes.
âBecause we know you, we probably know you better than you do. We know that if you had the chance, you would have told us from the start. We⌠I was angry and caught off guard when I saw your marks, and most of all I was scared. But this is not an excuse for what I did, because those marks donât make you evil. Youâre good, you have a good heart and we know this because weâre your family,â She said, brushing her thumb over her cheek. Unable to hold back her tears any longer, Rumi simply let go and buried her face into Mira. They both held her tightly as she cried her heart out, and for the first time in what seemed forever their leader felt safe. Protected. Finally accepted for who she really was. After what felt like an eternity, Rumi finally pulled free from the hold as she sat up.
âThank you. Both of you. You two may have just⌠fixed something inside of me that broke a long time ago,â She said, using the blanket to wipe her tears away. Mira and Zoey looked at each other, before leaning in to place a kiss on each of her cheeks.Â
âItâs the least we could do. We love you,â Zoey smiled while brushing a string of purple hair out of her face. Rumi couldnât hide the massive blush appearing on her cheeks, so she opted to hide her face by yet again burying it into Miraâs shoulder, making the other two chuckle. The three of them sat like that, cuddled up and entangled with each other until they lost track of time. Their peaceful silence ended when Zoey lifted her head.
âCan I see them? Your marks?â She asked with about the kindest smile Rumi had ever seen. Her heart jumped.
âYou want to see them? Arenât you⌠scared or disgusted of them?â Rumi repeated carefully, looking from Zoey to Mira. They were still the proof of what she was.
âTheyâre part of you, and we love you. All of you,â Mira said, making Rumiâs eyes widen. She thought back of her conversation with Celine in front of the tree, when the Honmoon was about to be destroyed. How Celine had been terrified of her, so terrified she couldnât even look at her.
Their mentor had been scared of her for who she was, even when sheâd been just a child, and had forced her to keep everything a secret. So for Zoey and Mira to ask permission to see her marks, and tell her that they fully accepted her? Rumi closed her eyes and took a deep breath before slowly unwrapping the blanket from around her, revealing her crop top and the almost glowing patterns all over her body underneath. Her marks had changed after they had reformed the Honmoon, and she looked at them as if seeing them for the first time. They were no longer purple, but an almost opal color, shimmering under her skin.
âWhy couldnât you love me?!â
âI do!â
âAll of me!â
âTheyâre beautiful,â Zoey immediately said, almost entranced by it as her hand hesitantly reached out, as if she considered touching them. After a second of her own consideration, Rumi brought her arm closer to her, giving the other hunter unspoken permission.
âThatâs the first time ever someone said something positive about them,â She huffed, yet smiled. When Mira grabbed her other arm, the smile grew a little wider.
âItâs almost like you have diamond veins,â She said, her voice full of awe as she traced a single finger over one of the marks all the way up her arm. When Zoey traced a line on her side and stomach, Rumi let out a giggle and shifted away from their touches.
âHey now, careful with those wandering hands,â She warned playfully, yet remained in the same position between them. Sheâd usually wear a sweater or at least several layers to cover up the purple lines all over her body, so she wasnât used to being so exposed. And neither were Mira and Zoey, judging by the look on their faces.
âOh?â Mira asked with a smile while sitting up straight, innocently wrapping her arm around Rumiâs shoulders.
âNow why would I need to be careful?â Zoey asked teasingly, laying herself across her leaderâs legs to keep her stuck on the bed, playfully wiggling her fingers at her.Â
âDonât start a fight you canât finish, darling,â Rumi warned with a smirk, flexing her own nails at the younger hunter. Sheâd beaten Zoey countless times before.
âOh but she will be able to finish this one,â Mira chimed in from beside her, sending a shiver down Rumiâs spine. She didnât need to see her face to know there was an evil grin there. Before she could even think about rolling off of her bed, Zoeyâs hands were already all over her and Mira was pinning her shoulders down.
âI donât think youâre ready for the takedown~!â Zoey sang teasingly, her nails dancing up and down her bare sides. Rumi threw her head back and immediately burst into giggles.Â
âZohohohoey! Get ohhohohoff!â She laughed while reaching for the invading hands. Miraâs hold unfortunately kept them just out of reach, and Zoeyâs weight on her lap kept her pinned on the bed. This was mutiny.
âWhatâs the matter, too ticklish now that you suddenly donât have seventeen layers of protection?â Mira teased, positioning her hands so she could wiggle a single finger into each underarm. Zoey grinned evilly and started drilling her thumbs into her hips.
âAAahahAHAaha! This is unfahahaAHAHAIR!â The oldest hunter cried out and crossed her arms over her chest, trying to shield herself from Mira. Her legs kicked so wildly she accidentally sent a pillow flying directly at Derpy, who was napping in her room. The Tiny Hat Bird flew away from his head just before it hit, and the giant blue tiger let out a purr as he slowly raised his head to look at them.
âYour tiger wonât save you, Rumi,â Zoey giggled, repositioning herself by sitting on top of Rumiâs hips. She shot her a wink before reaching her hands backwards, gently yet quickly squeezing the area right above her knees. If her legs had been kicking before, it was nothing compared to now.
âZoeheEHEHEY NOHOHOHO!â Her laughter filled the room as she sunk deeper into her bed, feeling light and carefree. She finally could be herself after all those years, without having to constantly worry about anyone learning about her secret.Â
âZoey yes! I think this is the perfect opportunity to discuss borrowing some of her off-limits clothes, donât you think?â Mira suggested with an evil smile, grabbing Rumiâs wrists as she pulled them away from her body. Due to her weakened state from laughing so hard, the lead hunter was helpless to stop her as her arms got pinned over her head.
âOh thatâs a great idea! Iâd say one sweater each, for a week or something! And I want dibs on the yellow jacket! Thatâs a good start, donât you agree sweetheart?â Zoey said in that sweet, mischievous tone as she followed up on Miraâs plan. Both of her hands reached up and dealt the finishing blow, her nails rapidly dancing under Rumiâs unprotected arms.Â
âAAHhahahahA! Okay okahaHAHAY! STAHAHAP! You wihihihIHIN!â Her back arched as she used all her strength to bring her arms down, yet it was futile. All she could do was hope for their mercy. Thankfully for her, Zoey stopped her attack soon after.
âItâs a deal! And you better keep it, or else~â She giggled, wiggling her eyebrows mischievously at her. Rumi let out a playful groan.
âAnd then Iâm the demon?â She teased, trying not to show how insecure she actually felt while making the joke. When both of them burst into laughter, she let out a relieved breath and a chuckle.
âDonât get me wrong, Iâm pretty sure Zoeyâs just the devil or something,â Mira smirked as she released Rumi from her hold, shuffling until she was laying on her side next to her.
âYouâre one to talk!â The younger woman protested with a grin, laying herself down on top of the lead hunter. Rumi wrapped her arms around Zoey and looked between the two of them, smiling widely.
âYouâre both idiots,â She giggled. Her idiots, she thought. When they kept staring at her, she raised an eyebrow at them. âWhat?â She asked curiously. Neither said a word and for a second it almost felt awkward, before Zoey finally made a move. Just not the one Rumi expected.Â
Zoey leaned in and cupped one of her cheeks, before kissing her on the lips. When she pulled away a few seconds later, there was a blush burning on her cheeks and a smile playing on her lips. Rumi was still trying to process what just had happened as her cheek got cupped a second time, this time by Mira who was staring at her with eyes full of love. She too leaned in to kiss her lips, and while Rumi had been more prepared the second time her heart still felt like it was about to explode. When Mira pulled away after a long kiss, Rumi was left speechless as she looked at the two of them.
âIâve been wanting to do that for a long time,â Zoey admitted sheepishly, giving her a loving smile.
âMe too. I wasnât sure if I still could... after everything I did. I was scared Iâd ruined my chance with you,â Mira said, reaching for Rumiâs hand. This was too good to be true, Rumi thought.
âYou both love me?â She asked, her heart beating faster as she looked at the two women sheâd loved for such a long time. Sheâd never allowed herself to admit it out loud, not until she was âfixedâ.
âOf course we do,â Zoey said, intertwining her fingers with her own.
âNo matter what,â Mira added, giving her another kiss on the side of her head. This time Rumi wasted no time and pulled the two of them on top of her, holding them tightly.
âThen Iâm the luckiest person to exist,â She said, giving each of them a kiss on their forehead. Zoey and Mira then proceeded to place kisses all over her face, neck and shoulders until Rumi was a giggling mess beneath them.Â
âIâve also been wanting to do that for a long time,â Zoey teased, giggling loudly as Rumi squeezed her side.
âSo what do we do now?â Mira asked, laying on her side again as she leaned on her elbow.Â
âI think I have the perfect idea. How about we go to the bathhouse and then spend the rest of the day on our couch?â Rumi suggested with a smile. The two women gasped loudly.
âOh my god finally! We finally get to take you to the bathhouse!â Mira exclaimed, clenching a fist as if sheâd won the greatest victory.
âYes! Iâll go pack the towels, meet you at the front door in five!â Zoey yelled as she quite literally bounced out the room.Â
âItâs really that special, huh?â Rumi chuckled as she stood up from the bed, looking at her wardrobe. What did you even wear to a bathhouse.
âYouâll see it when you get there. And for the record, you really are beautiful,â Mira said as she stepped in front of Rumi, cupping her chin to give her one final kiss. She couldnât help but giggle at the flustered look on Rumiâs face. âAnd youâre super cute when you blush~âÂ
âAlright, go get your stuff!â Rumi laughed as she pushed Mira out the door, who happily skipped to her own room to get her stuff. When she closed her door, Rumi placed her forehead against the wood with a wide smile. Growing up she had feared for her secret to be revealed, and most of all sheâd feared to end up all alone in this world. Now she finally realized she had nothing to be afraid of, because she had nothing left to hide. And sheâd never be alone again.
