✉ — @maneoxhisoka​ said: "lie to me then.”

Lie to me. Fei sighed, leaning down to tie up her Venor-assigned combat boots (albeit, with some not-so-assigned pink ribbon laces). It was ridiculous, really, how often the couple found themselves in this exact situation. One of them would be called out to attend to a matter with their respective organization with the other left to worry for their well being until they came back home. As much as Fei would like to be offended by the second-handed jab at her ability to stay alive, she understood far too well how it felt when Hisoka was the one arming herself as she said her goodbyes and stepped out the door. They were both fully capable assassins who’ve made it this far in life without fucking up bad enough not to make it home, and yet logic flew out the window as soon as one of them pictured the other in a dangerous situation. Wasn’t it funny how love could make you second guess everything you know to be true?

“It’s a foolproof mission and I’ll be back by morning. Is that what you wanna hear?” The succubus’s tone let out how obviously frustrated she was by the request, and yet she still spoke gently, refusing to raise her voice. Soka didn’t deserve that, especially when she was so worried. Tugging one final time at the bows she’d made on her boots, Fei stood up and made her way across the living room. Her girlfriend was still in her pajamas, arms crossed over her chest as she supervised Fei getting ready. “I’ll be fine,” she reiterated, not lying in the slightest this time. Past experience was on her side, after all. “I’ll call you as soon as I’m free, okay? Promise.” The succubus planted one last kiss on her girlfriend’s cheek before she reached for her backpack. “Don’t worry too much. And get some sleep, yeah?”

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @maneo-yeonjun​ said: "you look pretty today. i like you in blue.”

Fei paused at the unexpected compliment, glancing down at the sparkly dress which, believe it or not, was supposed to help her blend in with their surroundings on this mission. A gala, nothing out of the ordinary for the social and economic elite of the city— this used to be the succubus’s scene. Perhaps she still fit in at one of these events a little too well. “Thank you. I mean, it’s no pink dress, but it’s still pretty, I guess,” she commented. If it were entirely up to her, she would have bought some extravagant millennial pink ballgown from a well known designer, but she wasn’t exactly meant to stand out on a mission such as this. The undercover specialists back at HQ had chose a long, sparkling blue dress for her— just expensive looking enough that she looked like she belonged there but not over the top enough for anyone to bat an eye in her direction. That would be bad, considering the sheer amount of knives and firearms that were currently strapped around her thighs under her skirt.

“You also look quite handsome if I do say so myself,” Fei returned the compliment, reaching up to adjust her partner’s tie. Focusing back on the task at hand, she linked elbows with Yeonjun’s real arm, leaning her head casually against his shoulder as they made their way through the crowd. Entirely unassuming, as if they really were just some young, wealthy couple here to donate a few bucks to a cause they didn’t really care about for reputation points. “Lead the way, kind sir.”

naraxmaneo​:

OPEN STARTER // TW: blood, mental unstability, violence.

alone, in her home- binding herself to a near pitch-black bedroom, nara’s mind and her curse was in action. she didn’t fear the darkness surrounding her, but the darkness in her own heart, feeding off her consciousness. that would explain why she was cowling into the corner as if her mind wasn’t the culprit.  where else can she run though?… when her enemy is herself? 

this wasn’t like any other mind facing a mental demon either, this was something far beyond it. the power her conscious had was foul, and didn’t care for boundaries- even now, it manifested an infant boy; knowing that she’d come crawling toward it, her arms outstretched, crying. ignoring the voice cutting into her.

‘i have to admit, i’m not buying it, nara. you didn’t love, taejo.’ 

 she didn’t even think to respond, her mind was set on wrapping her arms around her baby.. taejo. but, as she expected, the moment her fingertips grazed his the child morphed into herself like she was looking in a mirror-.. except this one had black eyes and livid dark intent. the look-alike walked toward nara, a sinister smile on her lips, taunting her. the skinwalker recoiled, dragging herself back into the corner. 

‘your weeping does not impress me.. a killers tears, does not impress me’ 

nara this time had something to say, covering her face with one arm and holding up a sword with her other, using that to block the double from coming closer. “be quiet-.. be QUIET.” hearing the other continue to speak, nara repeated herself over and over, swinging her sword until she was chasing ‘herself’ around the house. her mind was literally, taunting her- so much that she didn’t even care that she destroying her home, she wanted her.. it, whatever it was, dead. 

eventually, nara was lured out of her home, looking for her enemy. hearing steps around the corner, maybe a voice, her paranoia sprung into action; and before she knew it, she’d pinned a random person, and her sword was pointed right at their neck. blind to the fact, they weren’t her. 

wiping the blood coming from her nose, she sniffled. “does this impress you, hmm? i can kill you right now. i can- i will do it.” 

Fei checked her phone again, in hopes that Nara would have responded to the multitude of texts and phone calls she’d sent to the older woman in the span of the past few hours. It didn’t seem that she was responding— not to her, not to anyone back at the Bureau— and that much was concerning. Fei wasn’t supposed to search for her alone, not in compliance with Mason’s orders, but the worry the younger girl felt overruled her orders in that moment. They often did. But then again, if that was something Mason was willing to cut her off for, wouldn’t he have done it by now? She was practically invincible, if only because she was everyone’s unofficial baby sister.

Boots disturbing puddles along the sidewalk from the earlier evening’s rainfall, the assassin carefully made the familiar trek toward Nara’s place, eyes shifting periodically as if she might come across clues to lead her to her older friend’s current location. Was that how this stuff worked? She wouldn’t know— she wasn’t exactly a detective, after all. Her tracking skills were far better through the scope of a rifle.

Though— it didn’t seem that tracking skills would come in handy in this case.

Just as she rounded the corner to approach Nara’s front door, her fight or flight response kicked into overdrive as the woman she’d been looking for lunged straight for her. “Wh—” Fei gasped as she stumbled backward into a wall to avoid the swing of Nara’s blade. Pinned, the sword pointed directly at her throat. Instinctively, the assassin’s hand reached for the pistol tucked into the back hem of her jeans, though she didn’t dare pull the gun on her superior. Wide eyes studied the older woman’s deranged expression for a quick moment.

“I— Unnie, it’s just me. Mind, um...” the succubus paused for a moment, swallowing the sliver of fear which manifested as a lump in her throat. “...Mind putting the sword down?”

yoonkaixmaneo​:

— open to: VENOR !

kai hasn’t celebrated his birthday since his adoptive mother passed away. even before she took him in, there was never anything fun to do on his birthday. any mermaid he’d ever met never cared too much about birthdays, so it was natural for him to not celebrate it. after his parents were taken and he went to the orphanage, he didn’t celebrate either. to be fair, there wasn’t enough money to have parties for all the kids in his group home every time someone’s birthday came around so they just didn’t do it for any of the kids. he celebrated his birthday for all of three years while he was living with his adoptive family. it wasn’t nearly long enough for it to stick, so kai still doesn’t even think about it. the first of june is just another day on his calendar, as far he’s concerned.

the thing is, even though he doesn’t remember his birthday, venor never lets him forget. as soon as he walks into the building he’s being told “happy birthday!” from every person he crosses paths with. he smiles and says thank you as often as he can, but it can be overwhelming sometimes when it’s such a drastic shift from what he’s used to. he’s making his way up the medic wing of the building when someone stops him in his path. he looks up from where he’s replying to yet another birthday text and sees a familiar face. the mermaid can’t stop his own face from breaking into a smile until he sees the wrapped present in their hands. his mouth drops open and he blinks at them before pointing to the gift, “is– is that for me?” he asks.

Fei was nothing if not festive. Well— that might’ve been a bit of a stretch, but the succubus was and always would be the first one in Venor to celebrate any occasion no matter how small. Holidays, birthdays, little victories on the field, even long awaited divorces... Fei would be the first to shout congratulations and liven the mood. When it came to Kai, though, that was something special— because Kai was someone who Fei felt she owed this much to. The same could probably be said for any Venor medic who had ever put her back on her feet after some sort of fuck up in the field, though the assassin didn’t care to make the distinction. Kai deserved nice things on his special day, and so she would deliver.

Millenial pink heels tapped against the sterile tile floors of the Bureau, navigating the familiar hallways toward the med bay. It was funny how one could become so accustomed to a particular route that they didn’t even have to pay attention to their surroundings in order to navigate it. Glancing up from the gift she was ever so carefully trying not to accidentally tip over, Fei caught sight of a figure from the corner of her eye. “Kai!” she greeted, smile wide as she sped up to fall in line with him. The medic’s reaction to the pristine wrapped gift in her hands was priceless, already so worth the effort behind it. “’Course it is, who else would it be for? Someone else havin’ a special day today?”

“You always smile like you’re about to cry.”

“I have a right to be angry!”

“You hear my heart beat? Just focus on that.”

“I’m going to protect you.”

“Give it back.”

“Shh. Stop fussing. I’m just braiding your hair.”

“How about a kiss?”

“Here. Let’s share the blanket.”

“No- just. I really like you in my clothes.”

“Wait. Don’t pull away…not yet.”

“I’m supposed to hate you for what you did.”

“Maybe we should work on the fact that you go in fists flying when things don’t go your way.”

“Don’t look at me like that, like you’re afraid of me.”

“I thought we were friends!”

“Lie to me then.”

“There’s no time to run.”

“It’s fine. I can wait.”

“I hate you!”

“Don’t let me go.”

“Bite me!”

“You’d be a great mom.”

“You’re one hell of a guy.”

“Why are you naked?!”

“You have…superpowers?”

“Put me down!”

“There’s only one bed…”

“First one to make a noise loses.”

“Did you just…agree with me?”

“You’re insane!”

“I know. Isn’t it great?”

“Why is he bleeding?”

“Want to see what kind of trouble we can get into?”

“Do you sleep anymore?”

“It’s just a papercut.”

“You’re not as evil as people think you are.”

“I don’t give a damn.”

“It’s a long story.”

You’re a part of the family, didn’t you know?“

“Woah! Slow down, what’s going on?”

“This is a one time thing.”

“You smell nice.”

“Did you just lick me?”

“Stop telling me you’re okay!”

“What a pretty sight.”

“Take off your clothes.”

“Car sex looks way easier in the movies.”

“Where are your clothes!”

“When did we get a cat?”

“He did what?!”

“You look pretty today. I like you in blue.”

“Stop calling me that! That’s not my name.”

“Are you flirting…with me?”

“Oh! That’s not my leg!”

“I like your voice.”

“You’re still here and making- pancakes?”

“No, I said we were safer. Not safe.”

“If we get arrested it’s your fault.”

“Do you ever think we should stop doing this?”

“Are you scared?”

“Promise me you won’t take it off.”

“They’re afraid of me.”

“Don’t lie to me!”

“I lost a bet.”

“I don’t regret anything.”

“You’ll break his heart if you do this.”

“What’s in your hair?”

“You don’t want to know, trust me.”

“Are you always an ass, or am I just special?”

“Did you hear something?”

“I can’t stop shaking.”

“You got about as much charm as a dead slug.”

“Oh! This one’s pretty.”

“Shut up and get over here.”

“You’ve got to believe me!”

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.”

“What’s up with your dad?”

“Please. Don’t stop.”

“Take my hand.”

“Don’t bleed on my floor.”

“Would you please put your tongue away.”

“Deep breath now.”

“Is that a lighter in your pants or you just happy to see me?”

“Why can’t you love me?”

“I like your face.”

“God, I could kiss you right now. Wait- uh…”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“Who are you?”

“How did I get here?”

“That’s disgusting. You’re lucky you’re cute.”

“Five minutes! And that’s it!”

“Eyes up here, amigo.”

“You like me?”

“I don’t like the dark.”

“What is that?”

“Are you smiling or is that a grimace? I can’t tell the difference.”

“We’re not going to die.”

“You wrote me a poem?”

“Stop staring! It’s rude.”

“Bend over.”

“Kiss me, asshole.”

✉ — @maneosoobin asked: 12 - sharing jokes

Fei’s laughter rang out through the living room, the loud giggles soon accompanied by laughter of Soobin’s own— though, Fei wasn’t quite sure if that’s because he actually found his own joke funny or because the younger’s laughter was simply contagious. Probably a mixture of both. Plus, the fact that the drinks were beginning to set in wasn’t exactly helping keep peace and quiet in the household.

She loved nights when she got to hang out with Hisoka’s family. The only person she’d personally call her own family was Mira— but she got to see her roommate practically every night, so it was nice to be able to integrate herself into a family a little bit bigger for a change. The di Sorianos were always just as endearing and humorous as Hisoka herself, never a dull moment when they were around.

The girl in question was in the kitchen, insisting that everyone stay away so that whatever meal she decided to make would be a surprise, and as much as Fei would love to be draped over her girlfriend’s lap right now, her brother didn’t make for bad company at all.

“He better not be showing you embarrassing pictures, I swear—” Hisoka’s voice rang out from the kitchen, only fueling Fei’s laughter more.

“Wait, do you have embarrassing pictures?” She asked then, eyes sparkling as she looked at Soobin expectantly. An almost evil smile stretched across the werewolf’s face.

“Plenty.”

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @maneoxvince asked: 88 getting to know each other better

“A Wu, huh?”

“I just wanted to be upfront... Because I don’t wanna bring your family any harm— especially Soka, she means the world to me, but I just... I feel like I might’ve hurt people. In the past. Or at least been an accomplice to it, but that’s not me anymore. I play for an unbiased team now.” Silence fell over the room as her fiancee’s father took a swig of his drink, seemingly contemplating the confession. Quickly, Fei scrambled to add, “Wu Yihai isn’t my father anymore— I haven’t acknowledged him for years. Since I was nineteen.”

Silence again, and Fei cringed internally before the pack leader finally spoke up. “Cheers to growing as people, then,” he replied simply, raising his glass. Dumbfounded, the succubus simply went through the motions of clinking her glass against his subconsciously. 

“That— that’s it?”

“Yeah. You’re my family now too, remember? You said you’re no longer a Wu, and that’s because you’re a di Soriano. I’m choosing to trust you, Feihung, don’t make me regret it.”

She outwardly cringed at the use of her full first name, but knew it was his way of staying firm even with such welcoming words. A small, hopeful smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “I won’t. Promise.”

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @maneoxhisoka asked: 113 getting to know each other’s family and friends

Fei’s hand was gripping the fabric of Hisoka’s sleeve as the taller led her through a crowd of people, all presumably part of her family— though, Fei wasn’t sure how much of a biological root this family had, if only because of the sheer amount of people who had showed up to what her girlfriend had specifically called a ‘family get together’. That was fine. Fei had no family herself, could only rely on the bonds created by water over blood. But it was intimidating, knowing that all of these people held a special spot in Hisoka’s heart, and she had to impress them if she wanted their approval.

“At least hold my hand, cara mia, no need to be so awkward,” the blonde giggled as she came to a stop, carefully shaking her arm from Fei’s clutch just to replace the empty space with her own hand. Seeing the look on the succubus’s face, however, her expression went soft. “Fei? Everything okay?”

It was dumb, Fei knew it was. “What if they don’t like me?” Before Hisoka could even manage to speak up, she continued. “I’m serious! They’re, like, really important to you— What do I do if they hate me? Just die, I guess?”

“Okay, now you’re just being dramatic.”

“I’m not—”

“Hi dad!”

Fei’s eyes widened as she looked up, only to find her girlfriend’s father nowhere in sight and the djinn beside her erupting into laughter. “That’s not funny...” the succubus attempted, though the laughter bubbling up from her throat betrayed the sentiment.

“All you needed was a good laugh, see? You’re relaxing already. They’ll love you, cara mia, I promise.”

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @maneoxmira asked: 103 trying to have a whole conversation with only eye contact and facial expressions

Venor meetings were never a dull affair— and that wasn’t to say that there was never a boring topic brought up ( because there definitely was ) but rather that Fei and her fellow members always managed to find a way to pass the time through those parts. Sometimes even without alerting their leader to the fact that they weren’t paying attention. It was rare, seeing as Mason had known them all long enough to be able to read them without hesitation, but those were odds that they were willing to face.

Mira had sent a look in her direction after Mason had turned around to pull up a picture on the projector, so of course Fei had to twist her features strangely to send a look back— that’s just how those things went. At this point, though, they were having a full on silent conversation, carried on every time their leader wasn’t looking in their direction. Impressive, truly, but what was to be expected of a pair of friends who had declared themselves sisters years ago? 

The vampire averted her eyes in the direction of Zero, who was sitting peacefully beside her, before she looked back at Fei, who must have somehow understood what she was trying to say, if only based on the scandalized expression she gave in return. From the corner of her eye, she caught Yeonjun staring at her in confusion, to which she replied with a shake of her head. A simple don’t ask. Which must have caught the attention of Zero, as he glanced between Fei and Mira with the same confusion written plain on his face. The two girls made eye contact before simultaneously lifting a hand each to block the view of their faces from that side of the room. 

“Everyone with me?”

Everyone sat up straight as the room erupted into a chorus of yes and yeah and a resounding sure that Fei was almost certain came from Kai. Mason gave a simple nod before he turned back around to continue. Hopefully that wasn’t too important.

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @maneoxhisoka​ asked: 41 butterfly kisses

Fei’s thumbs scrolled idly through the instagram of one local boutique or another, eyes flitting aimlessly over the pictures of the models, setting sight on an item or two that she would eventually give in and click the link in bio to purchase. That was, after all, how the assassin’s nights usually went when she wasn’t sent on a job— curled up on the couch in the comfiest pajamas she could find, ogling pretty pictures and spending her money irresponsibly. There was something different about tonight, however, and that something went by the name of Rosalia Leona Hisoka di Soriano. Quite the mouthful just to describe the simple euphoria of the very pretty, very sleepy blonde curled up at her side with her head resting delicately upon her shoulder. Euphoria indeed.

Hisoka’s phone was also lit up somewhere in the corner of Fei’s peripheral, though she wasn’t sure how much the screen had actually moved in quite a while. Not that she really expected much from her girlfriend tonight— the other had clearly stated that she’d had a long day and was exhausted when Fei had texted to see if she could come over, but that only fueled her instinct to bring takeout and make sure she took care of herself before she inevitably crashed.

“Soka?” the succubus whispered, as to not disturb the weary assassin should she have actually managed to fall asleep. To her surprise, however, the girl beside her gave a quiet hum of acknowledgement, lifting her head just as Fei turned her own. 

Oh. 

Hisoka’s eyelashes fluttered against Fei’s cheeks as she struggled to keep her eyes open, little butterfly kisses blessing the succubus’s skin. She struggled, for a moment, to remember what she was even going to say.

“...Nothing, qīnài de. Why don’t we go lay down in bed, hm? Someone’s looking sleepy.”

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @maneo-yeonjun​ asked: 108 - taking photos together

The halls of the Bureau, usually bustling with life, were dimly lit, the only footsteps that could be heard were those of the cleaning staff working their after hours shifts. Trainees were safely tucked away in their dorms, most Venor officials had turned the lights off in their offices and called it a night. And yet, found creeping through the dim hallways, were Fei and Yeonjun.

“Junnie oppa,” the succubus whispered, hand immediately reaching out to catch his wrist. “What if we get caught?”

“We’re S-Rank, they can’t do shit— they need us.”

Well. That did make sense, at least to Fei’s slightly inebriated brain. Though, truthfully, her and alcohol were not a good mix. She tended to throw logic out the window and simply go along with anything that was said to her. Like when Mira dared her and her partner in crime to take a selfie in Mason’s office after he’d already gone home. Yeah... she didn’t have much of a conscience when she was drunk.

The two agents’ footsteps were light as they navigated their way through the dim office building, coming upon the door to their leader’s office without trouble. Except...

“Wait, we need a key. Did you get a key?”

“I thought... you were doing that.”

It was a good thing these two weren’t expected to be competent agents under the influence.

[feixmaneo]

✉ — @masonmaneo​ asked: 94 with mason (making up their own words or slang)

“So when I give the signal, I want you to take down the target. Any means possible.” The wind whipped through Fei’s hair as she nodded in response to Mason’s command, the abandoned rooftops they used for training a scenic backdrop to Fei’s evaluation. The assassin had been nervous for this— then again, she wasn’t quite sure why she felt butterflies in her stomach at the thought of just doing her job in hopes that she’d come out of it with a higher rank on her badge. She’d been trained by Mason himself, after all. If he thought that she was ready for an evaluation, then that probably meant he knew she would pass it. Right? So there was nothing to worry about.

“Got it. So what’s the signal?” Wide eyes watched expectantly as her leader stopped in his tracks, hesitating.

“Y’know... the signal.”

“How would I know what the signal is if you don’t tell me?” Fei paused, thinking it over. “I think the signal should be something fun, something no one else would say, y’know? Like... like fish queen!”

“Why would fish have a queen?”

“Exactly! Nobody would ever say it in a normal context, it’s perfect!”

“...Sure, kid. Signal’s fish queen.”

A breathy giggle escaped Fei’s lips as she returned her attention to setting up her sniper rifle. “Sounds funnier when you say it.”

🎠 + 🌞🌜 + 💢

🎠 - your character is at the carnival.  what kinds of rides or games do they check out to entertain themselves?

fei is an adrenaline junkie at heart. she tends to go for the big rides first— roller coasters, towers, anything that goes fast or goes high. whatever stands out as the biggest ride in the carnival is usually what her eye and her heart is drawn to first. 

🌞🌜 - is your character an early bird or night owl? what makes them that way?

fei used to be able to describe herself as an early bird, but after years of training and missions which keep her up until the early hours of the morning, she can no longer say such a thing. she wouldn’t exactly characterize herself as a night owl, though, but rather someone that’s been made to stay up as late as she does by circumstance.

💢 - what frustrates your character more than anything?

fei is most frustrated by her own failures. if she can’t figure something out, she gets worked up very easily and tends to deal with it in less than healthy ways, becoming determined to overcome her own stupidity.

💋 - your character was just kissed by someone they can’t stand. why and how did it happen?

there aren’t a lot of people that fei truly can’t stand. she doesn’t have a lot of hatred within her tiny body, and most of it is directed toward people she never plans on seeing ever again. should she be kissed by someone she isn’t attracted to, however, it was probably a fellow venor agent, and they probably did it to keep their cover. 

📼 - an interrogation tape emerges regarding a recent interview with your character. what are they being questioned for?

fei’s an elite assassin. what isn’t she being questioned for tbh?
