sylus has twin boys and one of them is shyer than the other :<
baby one takes after his smug, charming bravado— speaks with a loud playful voice, emotes like a cute little cartoon and always ready for a spotlight. baby two is quieter, just wants to be held, hides behind papa's pant leg when he's introduced to new people and buries his face in mama's neck when he's asked for his name.
sylus is gone for forever (two days) before finally coming home. your voice is hoarse of repeating "papa's not home yet, angel," to little boys who want to play on their moving, talking, loving jungle gym of a father.
baby one runs headfirst towards him to play-fight— pulling at his hair and tugging on his ears— while sylus lifts him up, tickling him and blowing raspberries into his round cheeks.
baby two waits. he toddles after sylus only once he settles on the couch and sighs the stress of the day away. with great effort, he climbs up. sylus hears the squeaking stretch of leather, then feels the familiar weight on his side— a little ball of warmth nuzzling his cheek and shoulder to his papa's torso, squeezing himself under his arm to receive an embrace.
sylus responds quietly, bringing him closer and placing a tender kiss in his messy starlight hair. baby plays with the fabric of his expensive sweater, pulling and crumpling it in his little fists, just as mesmerized by the sensation as both are by the crackling fire.
baby one— a rocket— climbs on him too.
sylus has learned more sound effects since his sons were born, beyond your own favorite "bang!" when you poke his side. baby one's little fingers dig into his father's cheeks, as he goes, "pow!"
sylus lets out an indulgent play-dead 'eugh'— then a completely involuntary 'oof' as his son plops on his stomach before he slides to the other unoccupied arm. sylus's palm hovers over his head ever so slightly, making sure he lands safely. there, he also winds down and stares at the flames.
"pa?" baby two says, lifting his head. sylus turns to him— it still astonishes him how much of you he sees in his little angel's sleepy gaze. he carries your same wide, gentle look, now blinking slowly, dreamily.
"hm?"
"home?"
sylus hums. baby feels its steady rumble beneath his fingers. "mhm."
the baby nods slowly— only now understanding the word fully. connecting the dots between when mama says he's not and when he is. this is home. this feels like home. papa is home.
to that, he murmurs a soft m'kay and nestles his head back where it was before.
and you find them bathed in firelight, their white hair turned orange in its glow. his carbon copies, little lips parted, their chubby cheeks squished against their father's warm embrace. and your darling husband, head tilted back against the headrest, arms wound protectively around his sons.
you walk around, pressing a kiss to the crease between his brows before slipping a pillow underneath the base of his head. the photo you take of them stays as sylus's lock screen— until further notice.

Sweet.
A taste that Sylus never thought he’d experience once more, until he met you, again.
Even then, you had him taste bitterness the second time he met you, and he'd wonder to himself–did he do something wrong in between? He resented you for a while, wondering what turned you like that.
He resented the idea of having to start over again. He resented that it was as if you never knew him at all, especially when you spent so much time with him before.
Ironically enough, he still tried, and the resentment softened, way quicker than he'd thought. The realisation hit him like a freight truck one night when he watched your chest rise and drop slowly beside him–he could never resent you.
In Sylus’s eyes, you are the same person before and now, and it dawned on him that he'd still fall in love with you over and over again.
The day is dragging on at an agonising pace. He still has business to deal with. It's one of those days where you've slipped into the crevices of his mind, and suddenly, all he's craving is to have you wrapped around him, in his tight embrace.
The coin twirls aimlessly around his fingers. His ears are listening to the empty words of his business partners accompanying the sounds of poker chips and cards strewn across the table, but his mind is filled with you, you, you.
As if the universe had infiltrated his mind, the phone in his pocket buzzes. He contemplates ignoring it but something in his mind is bugging him to check.
So he does.
He fishes out his personal phone from his pocket, and the second he notices your name on his lock screen, he immediately unlocks his phone.
[Kitten sent a video.]
A soft smile spreads across his lips. He wonders if you've sent him more media of you catching cats, or doing the utmost to torment Mephisto.
But the moment he opens the preview, his smile immediately drops.
It's a video of you, in nude, in his bathroom. The glass panels of the shower are fogged up–you’re using his hot water. You're lathered in his soap (how did you manage to reach it?), the foamy bubbles sliding down the curve of your ass down your thighs, to the floor. A huge lump of soap lather covers your nipples.
Sylus feels both his fist and pants tighten.
Kitten: stole some of your new body soap 😛 come and punish me for it~
He knows he shouldn't be watching this, other than it being slightly inappropriate, but mostly because he doesn't want anyone to know about this side of you.
But the video continues to play.
The light bounces off your skin when you turn to the side, your curves highlighted under the warm lights. You stand back further, letting your face come into view, the cheeky grin splayed across your lips. It makes Sylus subconsciously touch his.
Of course, your hair is soaked wet, drips of it falling off the ends, splattering and disappearing onto your body.
Then you walk further from the camera. Sylus’s eyes follow your movements–the way your ass jiggles at every step, the way your hips move so enticingly.
The water runs, and the soap is washed off instantly. Sylus watches the soap slide off your body, leaving droplets of water to sit on your skin. If you’d bend over any further, your pussy would be bare all for him to see.
Instead, you turn around, your perky nipples coming into full view since the soap was rinsed off. Sylus feels himself swallow hard.
And at the final 10 seconds of the video, you turn around once more, and bend over, fully enough that your glistening pussy comes into full view.
You don't say anything throughout the whole video, and Sylus is thankful you didn't, because if you had uttered a single word, he would have burst right there and then.
“What's your decision, Sylus?”
The man before him asks.
“Fold”, he curtly replies. He dumps the remainder of his chips, throws the cards and leaves, taking his jacket with him.
There are no speed limits in N109, Sylus recalls telling you. And right now, every single traffic light that turns red is pissing him off.
When he bursts through the doors of his mansion, you're there–lounging on his black leather couch, wearing nothing but his black dress shirt. He sees that your hair is still slightly damp.
“You're back already, Sylus? I thought you'd be taking awhile”, he hears you say. Your voice is driving him insane.
“Have you eaten yet?”
He doesn't bother answering that question, at least, not yet. He, instead, carries you into his arms, and he's silently relieved that you don't resist.
“Not yet. How'd you know? I’m starving, kitten.”
Your arms wrap around his arm, keeping Sylus impossibly close to you, and you press a kiss on his jaw.
“Welcome home, my love.”
Sylus hopes he isn't being rough when he has you under him on his bed. He adores the way you're eye fucking him when he unbuttons his shirt, then un-buckling belt and then his trousers.
“Aren't you staring too much, sweetie?”
You'd tilt your head and scoff playfully, as if you heard the most ridiculous thing.
“I was given eyes for a reason, Sylus.”
He groans at the way you’d lick his cock and tease him through his underwear, as if his precum wasn't enough to soak the fabric. The sensation of your tongue pressing and teasing the base of his cock makes him bite his lip a little harder.
“I should punish you for that video you sent, hm?”
You look up at him, feeling his slender fingers run through your hair, the wetness between your legs making you clench even more.
“What did you think of it?”
“Plain evil, kitten.”
Sylus pushes you back onto the bed, and your head is dizzy with anticipation when he forces your legs open and leans in closer.
His fingers undo the button of your shirt in less than a split second, and he continues south until he realises that you're literally wearing nothing underneath.
Sylus joins you on the bed, his knee intentionally pressing up against your wetness, and it makes you squeeze your legs, trapping his knee.
His thumb is on your chin, grazing your bottom lip.
He knows you look away when you get shy, so he ensures he traps you to fix your gaze onto his. He doesn't need to use his aether core to bring out your desires. Maybe, he’s the one who has his desires bleeding out of him, all out for you to see.
“Open for me, sweetie.”
Your fingers rake through his locks when you yank him towards you. He could never get tired of your taste.
“Sylus…please. I don't think I can wait”, you whine, your hips grinding against his knee.
He chuckles softly at the way you're begging for him. He likes it when you're feisty with him, and he adores it when you beg for him like that.
Just a little longer. “Be patient, kitten. Good girls get rewarded.”
To you, it's teasing. To Sylus, maybe it is teasing, but that's on top of wanting to feel your body, to elicit pretty reactions out of you.
He traces your skin, your curves, your rawness with his fingertips. He feels the way your nipples have hardened under the fabric, and he uses his thumbs to flick them, savouring the moans you give him.
“How does it feel?”
“You're teasing me again…”
“I'm not, sweetie. You know how much I adore listening to you tell me what you like.”
He switches over to rubs by applying pressure–and the pleasure sparks through your body.
You've yet to even cum, but you've begun staining his sheets already.
He presses his tongue on your clothed nipple, his tongue rubbing soft circles. He feels you tug his hair, rolls of your moans washing into his ears, begging him to do more.
Sylus really likes it when he gets you wet and sticky for him, before he even starts fucking you. He likes playing with his prey before he devours them.
The sound of your pussy squelching when his fingers enter you is another thing he loves. He likes watching the way your pussy sucks them right to the knuckle, the fluids going from clear to white and creamy.
“Sylus ... please, please. Fuck.”
Do you know what you're even begging for?
Sylus has one of your legs rest against his shoulder, giving him a better opening of your soaked little hole. He fucks himself with his hand, then lines himself to your entrance, and thrusts in.
He watches you fist the sheets and your back arch, your pussy perfectly tight for him, your soft walls devouring him in soft pulses.
He lets you adjust, and shifts a pillow under your lower back to support you. He watches you relax against the pillow.
Sylus can't get enough of the way you struggle to fit him. When he sees his bulge in you, it turns him on.
“I'm gonna start moving, kitten.”
His rhythm always starts off steady, mostly for you to adjust to his fat cock. He'd bite and kiss your calves to distract himself from how tight you are.
Your moans start off soft, and they grow more needy and lewd, just how Sylus likes it.
When the tension builds, Sylus gets a lot greedier. He’d fold your legs and push them against you, his cock completely sinking deep into your cunt, and he knows it drives you nuts when he does that–forcing himself into your hole. It feels so fucking good.
“I love it when you do that.” He knows. Sylus loves it when you say that.
You let him touch you all over when he fucks you when the pace accelerates–his hands are all over you. He thinks it's a waste to leave any patch of your skin untouched. After all, you're his.
When your thighs start trembling, Sylus knows your body like the back of his hand.
“You're cumming soon, kitten?”
Your eyes would be watery from the pleasure by then, nodding desperately.
“How close are you?”
He watches your abdomen contract when his fingers rub your clit.
“Fuck. So fucking close. It feels so good. You feel so good, Sylus.”
He loves undoing you like that–making you reach to your high–the way your voice climbs in octaves when you're screaming that you're cumming on his thick cock, your eyes rolled back and shut, your cunt so wet that friction barely exists there.
He pauses and rests his tip in your hole, his breathing growing heavy when he watches you visibly cream on his dick, the way your pussy convulses and squeezes him uncontrollably forces him to use all of his restraint not to burst in you, not yet.
The overstimulation when he continues to fuck you through your orgasm makes the pleasure all the more so delicious.
“Keep fucking me like that, please”, you moan into his palm. How could he not want to?
“You're so cute when you’re like this, all fucked out for me”, you hear the slight strain in his voice. He plants more kisses across your lips to your cheeks, to your jaws, to your temples.
White spills into his vision while he spills into you, his cock throbbing and filling you up. The way he would shut his eyes and furrow his eyebrows, while red dusted his cheeks. He squeezes whatever body part of yours he had his hands on.
Breeding you full is easily his favourite part.
He thrusts himself into you a couple more times, letting you milk him completely dry, so that when he pulls out, he can see his pretty creation leak out of you in loads.
Sylus never forgets to kiss you after fucking you. You would giggle or sigh when he does, and he'd clean you up before fetching a glass of water to cool down.
You're surprised his shirt stayed on you for the whole duration of it. Not that you were complaining.
Sylus sits up against his pillow slightly, pushing and tucking away strands of hair from your face.
“You know, Sylus, you’ve ruined intimacy for me.”
He scrunches his eyebrows in confusion. His heart drops.
“What?”
You pout, cupping his face with your thumb and fingers.
“I said, you've ruined intimacy for me”, you repeat.
Sylus isn't following. Why tell him this now? He tries to ignore the sting in his heart, and the myriad reasons why he's ruined it for you. Suddenly he's prepared for you to leave.
Instead, you glance downwards to his lips and press yours against his.
“Because I don't think I can do it with anyone other than you.”
Sylus grits his teeth, not because of stress, but because you always have ways to get under his skin like that, and he knows he wouldn't mind otherwise.
“Scared you a little, didn't I?” And you still have the cheek to giggle at him.
His palm presses against your forehead in retaliation, and you squeal in surprise.
“Do that one more time and see what happens, kitten.”
You stick your tongue out at him. Then you're swept into his arms, and it catches you by surprise.
“Where are we going?!”
“You're showering again, sweetie. This time with me.”
He tops his words with a kiss on your jaw.
It's so… sweet.
Knowing that he loves you, you don't have to say it to each other, sweet.
Sylus reads thrillers and murder mysteries before bed
Fans have been headcanoning what genre Sylus is into, not hard to figure his interests😉😉of course he'd be into the darker stuff. I imagine he also enjoys Poe and Lovecraft
Tell something you have in common with your favorite (s) LI(s) then tag someone else
Me and Zayne are both lightweight. Y'all I can't drink alchohol to save my lips 🤚💀 without ending up tipsy just a glass of wine is enough to make my head spin .
Me and Rafayel are both dramatic but only with people we care about , I like to get on my friends and family's nerve (that how I show my love 😔)
Also giggling rn bc yall are about to read about all five guys since I like them all.
- Rafayel and I are both pisces and we are also the type to purposely act like we’re upset at you when we’re not, even after you apologize for something silly or beg us. So when you suddenly stop giving us attention, we’re like “!? 😦😧😟😔heyyy😕😣waittt😖 :( continue..”
- Xavier and I are both INFP personality & we love sleep so much that if someone moved us to a bed on top of the ocean, we probably wouldn’t even realize. We also love meat & look innocent but we can be freaky~ 👅. (HELP IM KIDDING) (no) (YES I AM💔) (not) (I AM😭) (..)
- Zayne and I are both in the med field as I’m a pre-med student 🥹and we have a sweet tooth hehe
- Caleb & I both own (or in my case would like to own) a Lamborghini. PLSS that was so random but I just thought it was so hot that he drove a lambo since it’s my fav car brand. And look, people will call this delusion but… I call it a sign that my caleb is out there & one day we would swallow each other in his lamboWHO SAID THATT. (sorry)
- Lastly, Sylus and 6-7 year old me could not rhythmically dance to the beat of a song AT ALL. It was so bad that my mom still has vids of me dancing faster than the speed of light at parties until I ended up randomly waking up one day to realize i didn’t need to be doing all that…
BUT YEAH LMAOOO THATS THE LITTLE SIMILARITES I COULD THINK OF AND I HOPE IT MADE U SMILE AND KNOW ME BETTER

Sylus || we both don’t like the sun. Yes, I live in darkness (my eyes and skin are very sensitive to light. Like his) so that’s why my sleep schedule is always messed up (like his😂). We buy sunscreen, vitamin D and K in bulk.
Rafayel || I suppose it’s the duality? I am very happy go lucky, relaxed(?) most of the time. But when I get upset like really seriously upset which almost never happens, I’ve been told that I’m very scary irl. (ME? Ball of anxiety me? *insert surprised pikachu face* I would like to disagree.)
Caleb || we both are the typical Asian older sibling that had to play parent, then left the house to study with pain in our hearts because our younger siblings and/or grandma were left back home. The way Asian families literally tie an emotional knot on the eldest child. (Hugging younger Caleb bc I know the weight on that poor child’s shoulders).
This was so fun but also really hard! Some comparisons are more surface-level while others are more intricate.
Thank you for the tag, Omi! I always love doing these 🥰

Caleb
Eldest sibling syndrome. We both hide our pain behind humor and often put other's needs (specifically emotional needs) before our own. As a result we have a very difficult time opening up and expressing our negative emotions with other people because we don't want to be responsible for bringing down the vibe or putting our emotional baggage onto others even though we constantly feel like we're drowning.
Rafayel
Kind of bratty and easily annoyed. We both want instant gratification but must suffer under the expectation of patience. I've also had a soft-spot for mermaids for as long as I can remember, so there's a connection there as well.
Sylus
Wants to appear like Big Bad Scary Confident Baddie on the outside but it's a defense mechanism because we're actually Soft Self-conscious Cinnamon Roll Babies on the inside. We want our favorite people to thrive and be the versions of themselves that they will be the most proud of.
Xavier
We never want to leave our house because staying home with take out and our favorite (books, movies, games) is the place we feel most comfortable and like ourselves. We hate being perceived.
Zayne
I also have a sweet tooth that can't be satisfied. Sugar will be our downfall, I fear. That's really it though. I think the thing I love most about Zayne is that he is the complete opposite of me as a person. We would balance one another.
ooooo thank you for the tag @dem0batz & @spiderlilypetals & @a-maru-writesback — I always feel so special when anyone thinks of lil ol me xx
I love this thread! Nothing like some self-psychoanalyzing on this fine weekend 😌
Hopefully I’m not double tagging anyone: @pomegranatepip @leighsartworks216 @mythblossoms @starmocha + and anyone else who’d like to join in! ,,> ᴗ <,,
Aaand in no particular order:
Zayne >> *sweats* hellooo, struggles with intimacy and vulnerability. Though the elements that contributed to Zayne’s struggle with conveying his true feelings and emotion don’t necessarily match up with mine, the result is the same. I feel like I’m perceived as very stoic in person even though I’m feeling all the feelings on the inside, and that’s definitely by design. Seems like Zayne is slowly branching out of it though, so maybe my day will come soon!
Sylus >> There’s a perfectionism and attention to detail in Sylus that really resonates with me. He juggles so many things from his businesses to his relationships, and yet he always makes sure that all those things are buttoned up and completed or accomplished to the best of his (or Luke and Kieran’s lol) abilities. Holding yourself and others to a high standard is definitely a similarity of ours (though Sylus seems to take pride in this quality more than I do lol)
Caleb >> Jumping on the ‘eldest sibling’ trauma train here. A lot of masking and suppressing of pain or anything that might cause conflict to avoid burdening others or being in the spotlight. Caleb also latches onto those closest to him, especially MC, and has an unwavering sense of loyalty (sometimes to his own detriment) and I do see some of those characteristics in myself.
Had to do some thinking because I forgot who I am as a person lol 🙂↕️ thank you for the tag @deepspacenova and @lavlynyan 🥹💖
Caleb — We both like cooking and eating sour food! While I'm not the eldest in my family (I'm the baby), I have been saddled with handling a lot of family matters concurrently, including insurances, medical visits, etc. so I do feel like I understand the weight Caleb carries on his shoulders.
Zayne — We are both perfectionists who like having things organized a certain way, and we both have a dry sense of humor. We're also...beginner kalimba players lol? Zayne and I also share the same last name when translated from Chinese to Vietnamese or vice-versa. We're both pears lol 🥹🍐 My middle name also means winter, so you could say we're both associated with winter 🙂↕️
Sylus — We both share the same mindset that other people's opinions or perceptions of you don't matter. What matters is being true to yourself and to the people you truly value in your life. Sylus also likes sour food like me, and red also happens to be my favorite/signature color IRL.
So many people have been tagged, so sorry if I tag you again. Feel free to ignore if you want ._. @nerdyladyrebel @irandial @sylusfluffymeow @quiet-oracle @valkyyriia

"Sweetie, what are you doing?"
You shush him, focused on whatever the hell you were up to right now. Sylus quirks a brow at you.
"I think I have a right to know, since you're holding my face hostage," he teases, speaking in a languid murmur, raspy.
You'd found him asleep in one of his many lounge chairs; legs out, arms crossed, head back. It was impossible to ignore the desire to sneak around behind the chair and hold his face. Of course, doing so woke him up, which led you here.
"I'm just appreciating how pretty you are," you tell him. And it's not technically a lie. You are appreciating his beauty. Just, a specific part of his beauty.
"And you can't sit in my lap and do that?" He reaches back behind the chair. His large hand finds your back easily and begins tracing light shapes into your sides, your spine - wherever he could reach.
You giggle and squirm away from his ticklish touch. "No, now stay still and hush."
He huffs with exasperation, but he does as you ask. His hand settles on your lower back, loosely holding you close. He appreciates you in turn with his crimson eyes, half-lidded with sleep.
You run your thumbs along his cheeks. His skin is smooth, pliant beneath your fingers. He seems so untouchable - and he is. To everyone that isn't you. The fact you're this close means more than you'll ever be able to fully grasp.
You lean down and press a delicate kiss between his eyebrows. His fingers twitch against your back. You trace under his eyes, coaxing him into closing them and putting his full trust in your hands. You kiss the spot again.
The next spot your lips find is perhaps half an inch down, at the point where his nose begins protruding from his face. It's an odd place for a kiss, he thinks. You must be up to something, yet he allows it anyway.
Kisses are slowly peppered down his nose. Each one takes its time, each following the strong line of his nose, over the bump and the wide bridge, down to the tip. Each one pours into the lazy smile tugging at his lips. You really woke him up just to "appreciate" his nose?
The kisses retreat towards his brow, but never reach it. One kiss, then two placed at the most prominent part of his nose's definition, and then-
He cracks an eye open. "Did you just bite my nose?"
You hum with a slight nod, kissing over the spot again. "I've been wanting to bite it for weeks now. This seemed like the perfect opportunity." Despite the nonchalant way you say it, he can practically feel the heat radiating off your face and onto his.
He chuckles softly and draws you closer by your back. "Do it again."
Truly, you didn't expect for that to be his response. You anticipated this being the one and only time you'd ever be allowed to do this. But he's encouraging it, with clear amusement.
Your teeth settle on either side of the bridge of his nose and not very far down, not even as far back as your canines, and gently bite down. It's not a lot of pressure, either. Realistically, it's more of a light nip, but he hums his approval. When you pull away, your lips catch on his skin, just as his do when he bites your hand. It's perfect.
His eyes watch now with unreserved affection. His hand trails up your back, reaches to cradle the back of your neck and the base of your skull. "Come here," he murmurs lowly. You're guided forward, drawn down as he tilts his head further back to meet his lips.
Your mouths move together in languid, drowsy kisses. The faint wet sound of your lips parting and shared, soft breaths fill the room. His nose presses against your chin, and yours in his, but neither of you move from the awkward angle except to deepen the kiss.
You feel the smirk on his lips before you see it. He pulls away and your body is suddenly weightless, floating through the air, carried by playful tendrils of energy.
"Sylus! What're you doing?!" You're flipped over him, slow enough you don't get lightheaded, to the front of the chair and directly into his lap. His arms wrap powerfully around your waist to draw you against his chest. Light kisses trail along your neck.
"You woke me from my nap. It only seems fair to keep you here," he says against your skin.
There's no point trying to push his arms away or wriggling free. He's much too strong for that. So, you give in. You sigh with a playful roll of your eyes and lean back into him, trying to find some comfortable position. Once you're settled, one of his arms slips from around you, and gently fingers turn you by your chin to face him.
"I also need to return the favor, don't I?"
He takes his sweet time doing so. A trail of kisses, all light pecks, winds from your jaw to your chin to your cheek. They finally come to your forehead, where he places one between your brows. Down to where your nose begins. Down over the bridge, to the tip, and back up.
Your breath catches in your throat as he tilts his head and carefully lines his teeth up in just the same way you did. He bites down, gentle in a way that seems unfathomable to anyone else who knew him. After a second, he pulls away, lips catching on your skin.
He leans back into the chair and guides your head to his shoulder before wrapping his arm around you once more. He sighs, long and low, with content. "Wake me up in four hours," he murmurs.
"And what am I supposed to do until then?"
"You should have thought about that before you snuck in, sweetie."
