今はストーキングを止めて二階でうたた寝中なのは把握済みですが…
さあ。連休中のメインイベントです。先般見つけた猫風゜呂さんのカリカリ柄の肉球もとい手ぬぐいを浴衣にして、Jさんに着せてみよう!の回です。
お前首いいのかよ、というツッコミはさておき…すっごいいい姿勢でチクチクしたんです、私。頑張ったの(苦笑)
何。起きたの。
寝てていいよ?
寝起きを襲って着せます。帯はポリの半襟を転用。
あー、予想どおり、豆力士っぽい。
半眠りです(笑)いやおっさん、似合いますよ?
そのまま人のベッドに突っ伏して寝始めました。
意外と悪くないですがはだけていくので、がっちりマジックテープで止めるのが良さそうです。でも今日はこれで満足。Jさんにもおいしい夕ごはんをあげなくちゃ。
Paradise or paradise? @todayintokyo I guess you can see the flair 💓

When you work hard
Good night
MLQC Boys and Fights With Their S/o
Let me tell y’all…I’ve been sitting on this request for like six months. I’ve been trying to figure out how I should go about this because I couldn’t see them having full on arguments which prompts you to leave for a while. Maybe Victor because that mouth can and will get him into hot water with you. Maaaaybe Lucien… But KIRO?! GAVIN?! It was so difficult! I apologize if they come across as OOC! Please enjoy!
Warning: Angst
———————————————————————————————————
Kiro
You knew what dating a celebrity would entail. Keeping your relationship a secret, hiding from fans, and dodging questions from overly suspicious paparazzi.
Every now and then it did bother you whenever you saw him in an interview and the interviewer tried to pry into his love life. Kiro skillful dodged all questions which was good, but it also made your heart hurt.
You two loved each other and you shouldn’t have to hide that. It also didn’t help that so many people tried to throw themselves at Kiro thinking he was available.
News outlets would report the potential connection between Kiro and other celebrities. Costars and musicians that were probably way more qualified to handle the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
You did your best to grin and bear it…up until his latest interview. Paparazzi had caught the two of you as you were taking a few selfies while on a date and when he was questioned about it, he gave the impression that you were just a fan.
A fan? A FAN?!
You were way more than a fan!
When you finally brought your feelings to his attention, it was the day he was leaving for a weekend event.
In typical Kiro fashion he tried to joke it off. You knew that was just his way to try and make you feel better, but all it did was piss you off. You didn’t need him to joke about this. You needed him to acknowledge how much of a problem this was.
You weren’t sure what you wanted him to say. It wasn’t like this was his fault, but you had reached your limit. You were tired. Tired of feeling like some shameful secret Kiro wanted to hide from the rest of the world.
It was almost unheard of for you and Kiro to fight. Disagreements maybe, but a full on argument?
Kiro is extremely apologetic the moment it happens. He tries his best to calm you down, but with Savin blowing up his phone and the blaring car horn outside his studio apartment, he has to cut the conversation short.
He takes your hand in his and squeezes it tightly.
“Miss Chips, I… We can talk about this when I get back, okay?”
You look at him with tears in your eyes, but your hard stare remains. Letting go of his hands, you take a step back.
“I don’t know who you’ll come back to, but it won’t be me. Maybe it’ll be one of your fans.”
You push passed him before he could say anything, heading for the door. Opening it, you were met with Savin who was on the verge of knocking. Not even giving him a proper greeting, you walked out of the apartment with Kiro racing behind you.
He firmly grasps your hand and looks at you with pleading eyes.
“Please… Just wait for me.”
And you did.
Kiro left with Savin leaving you still feeling unsatisfied with the turn of events and you’re not the only one…
Kiro is the type of person that will do whatever he can to make you smile. He never wants to see a frown ruin your beautiful face and it would destroy him if he’s the reason you’d make such a painful expression.
Kiro knows how hard its been for you having to deal with so much when it came to your relationship.
This whole situation was hard for him too. He wanted to be able to tell the world about you. He wanted to be able to love you openly and without fear of the media and his fans ripping you to shreds.
That was it. His contract or the possibility of losing his popularity as an artist wasn’t what stopped him, it was what this could mean for you.
The entertainment world wasn’t as glamorous as many people made it out to be. Kiro has seen so many of his fellow entertainers go through so much and you not being accustomed to this life might lead your relationship to ruin. He wanted to protect you from the chaos and keep you selfishly to himself.
Kiro is spamming you with text messages on his way to the airport and since you’re still swept up in your negative feelings you refuse to respond.
Its like that for the rest of the weekend. Him calling and messaging you and you ignoring his attempts. Ignoring him was next to impossible, but you were stubborn and refused to let your resolve wither away.
Deep down you couldn’t help but feel bad. It really wasn’t Kiro’s fault that the circumstances made it hard for you to be together openly. You knew he’d shout out how much he loves you from the highest rooftop if it was possible.
You loved Kiro more than anything and you didn’t want him to choose between you and his work, but at the same time….
When Kiro finally returns home he doesn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around you. Want to push him away? You can try, but Kiro will make it difficult.
You won’t resist him. In fact, you just wanted Kiro to hold you just like this while you cried out all the frustration you had pent up.
Being angry and not talking to your boyfriend for two days really took a lot out of you.
You let out a muffled “I’m sorry” and looked up at him with teary red eyes.
He uses a thumb to wipe away the stray tear as he gives you a small halfhearted smile.
“I should be the one apologizing! I made my beautiful Miss Chips cry! I just…” His pauses trying to find the words.
“I don’t want what I do to ruin what we have. The entertainment world is scary and can sometimes be ruthless. I don’t want to lose you because of it. If…If this is too much I’ll leave it all behind. We can move into the country if you want! I’ll dye my hair and change my name too!”
You were listening to the ramblings of a desperate man and you weren’t sure how to process his words. Did he realize what he was saying?
“Kiro…” You placed a hand on his chest to get his attention.
“I chose to be a part of your life and that means accepting all the parts that define you. That includes accepting Kiro the artist and Kiro my amazing boyfriend. I don’t want you to make a choice just because I got upset.”
Kiro shakes his head. “If I have to choose between this life and the woman I plan on marrying someday, I’ll always choose you.”
WELP HERE COME THE WATER WORKS.
Poor Kiro doesn’t know what to do at this point. Did he just make things worse?!
“Miss Chips, I’m sorry! Please don’t cry! I’ll shut up!”
Kiro is panicking!!
You sniffled a little but managed to give him a small smile.
“It’s just that. I keep forgetting how good you are with making me feel like i’m the most important person in your life.”
“That’s because you are! I think I’d go insane if I didn’t have you in my life and I plan on making you happy for as long as you’ll have me!”
You spend the rest of the night cuddling in your adorable animal onesies and enjoying each others company.
After a week, the two of you decide to make your relationship known to the public. It was surprisingly well received by many. Almost an hour into the announcement you have ship name and hundreds of positive messages from his fans.
Best believe Kiro is spamming his social media with pictures and videos of you that he has saved on his phone.
Gavin
Gavin’s job is dangerous. You knew that before getting into a relationship with him and you were fine with it.
Did it bother you to see him come home bruised and hurt? Of course. No person in their right mind would be okay with the love of their life going through near death experiences on a daily basis.
But you respected Gavin’s work and never wanted to make him feel like he had to choose between you and his job.
It wasn’t until he mentioned an upcoming mission that he refused to go into detail about. You were okay with it at first, but as the day of his departure grew closer you became apprehensive.
“I don’t think you should go.” You said as you watched Gavin pack his essentials to leave.
“Its out of my hands now. Don’t worry too much. I’ll be back before you know it.” He gave you a quick kiss before leaving.
Gavin was good at contacting you while he was away. Not a day went by where you didn’t get an “I love you.” “Make sure you eat.” and the occasional “Good morning” or “Goodnight” texts, which put your mind at ease.
The messages stopped on the fourth day of his absence, but you figured he must’ve been really busy. You sent him a few messages just to test the waters and would get a response or two a few hours later.
That didn’t stop the nagging feeling in the back of your mind.
His responses were extremely brief and while Gavin wasn’t the talkative type especially through text messages there was something off about his responses.
On the sixth day you got a call from Eli. He didn’t go into details but he told you Gavin was in the hospital because of a gunshot wound.
Of course, you were on full panic mode and when Eli gave the phone to Gavin, you were ready to have a full on heart attack.
“Gavin, are you okay?!”
“Don’t worry. I’m-” You didn’t let him get a chance to finish. He wasn’t about to give you that spiel again especially not when he’s laying in a hospital bed.
“You keep saying I shouldn’t worry like its that easy. You got shot, Gavin. You didn’t get a paper cut! You had a bullet go through your body! I knew I should’ve stopped you from going.” You were beginning to ramble, but could anyone blame you? You heard Gavin heavily sigh.
“This is exactly why I didn’t want to tell you.”
“So you were planning on keeping this a secret?” His silence gave you your answer. He had no intention of telling you and was probably going to do everything he could to hide his injury. You wanted to cry. You felt the burning sensation in your eyes as the tears began to form.
“Ba-” He began but you interrupted him.
“I thought this would be a partnership and we’d support each other. But you take things on by yourself and you forget that I’m here. What’s the point of me even being with you if you can’t rely on me? If me wanting to be there for you is such an inconvenience in your life then I’ll stop.” Your voice shook slightly at that last part causing you to suck in a sharp breath.
“What are you saying?”
“Don’t worry about it.” Not wanting to take the conversation further you hung up on him. You tried to fight back the tears, but like a dam you broke and within seconds the tears stained your cheeks.
That was the first time you’ve ever hung up on him and you felt terrible. You knew Gavin would do anything to make you happy, but his reluctance to have you a part of his life fully hurt and you were honestly fed up with it.
Your phone vibrated and you glanced at the screen with Gavin’s picture and pet name illuminating from it.
You didn’t have the energy to talk to him. Your heart was too heavy and as much as you hated fighting with him, you were still upset.
Everyone knew that when it came to you, Gavin was your protector. Even if he wasn’t taking care of himself, Gavin always made sure you were okay.
He hated seeing you upset and he hated it even more when you were upset with him. That was why he tried to shield you from anything remotely dangerous when it came to his job.
Most wouldn’t just sit back and let their loved one battle death practically every day. Gavin was grateful that you were so understanding and continued to be by his side.
When you hung up on him, it took Gavin a few seconds to realize what had just happened.
He called you a few times and when you refused to answer he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Checked himself out of the hospital despite the doctor and Eli trying to convince him otherwise. While his injury wasn’t serious they wanted to run a few more tests before letting him go, but your man is stubborn!
He makes it home within an hour!
When he sees you’re nowhere inside the home he won’t immediately freak out. There’s a reason he put a tracker in your brac- It says you’re here?!
Gavin finds the bracelet he made you on the kitchen counter and that’s when he starts panicking. You never take it of. NEVER. So why now? Were you THAT mad? Were you finally at your limit? Did he push away the one person in his life that brought him happiness? He had to find you.
The minute you walk through the door the suffocating feeling of despair that felt like a weight on Gavin’s chest washes away as he envelopes you in a hug. You’re almost caught off balance by the sudden gesture. The bags in your hand falling to the floor.
After your conversation with Gavin, you decided to pick up a few things to bring to the hospital. A few balloons, a get well soon card, and ingredients to make his favorite meal so you could sneak it in to give him. While you were upset with him you still wanted to make sure he was okay.
In the process of getting ready, your bracelet got stuck in your hair and you forgot to put it back on after removing it.
You don’t have time to question why Gavin is here or why he left the hospital so early because he’s already apologizing for everything.
“I’m sorry. I should’ve told you, but I didn’t want… I never want you to worry about me. I want to be the person that makes you happy and feel safe. What good am I if all I ever do is make you feel the opposite? I know I screwed up, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. Just don’t…don’t leave. Please.” You hear the shakiness in his voice. The sound of desperation evident in his words…. Your heart couldn’t take it.
Never have you heard Gavin sound like this. So fearful. So….defeated.
You cupped his grief stricken face in your hands as a few tears fall against your cheeks.
“I love you too much to ever consider leaving you. I know the things you do are for my protection and I appreciate it more than you know, but we are a team. My fights are yours and vice versa. You don’t have to handle these things alone. Even if the thought of you never coming home scares the hell out of me, I want to be a part of your life. That includes the ugly parts of it.”
These are one of the moments where Gavin believes luck was on his side when you chose to be with him. He loves you so damn much and will forever make sure you know it.
You won’t have to worry to much about Gavin keeping secrets from you again. He will do better with communicating with you in the future.
Victor
You’ve been working closely with Professor Lucien on an upcoming project much to Victor’s annoyance.You knew the two of them had some unspoken hatred for one another, but you never understood why.
You ignored it for the most part because you had no interest in getting into the middle of whatever they had going on.
You went over to Lucien’s to work on some last minute notes.You honestly enjoyed Lucien’s company and saw him as a good friend so you didn’t find it weird when he offered to cook you dinner after you were at his place a lot longer than you intended. Who were you to say no to food?
Halfway through your meal and interesting conversations you get a text message from Victor asking about your whereabouts.
“At Lucien’s place be home in a bit.”
The minute you sent the message you realized your mistake. You knew how insufferable Victor got at the mention of Lucien’s name and you were currently at Lucien’s apartment having dinner.
When you got home Victor was giving you the silent treatment much to your annoyance.
So you called him out on his bs.
“Lucien and I work together, Victor. Aside from that he’s my friend. I shouldn’t have to justify that.”
“Friend? You sure that’s all it is?”
And that’s when things took a turn…
Victor wished he could take back the harsh words he said to you during the heated argument.
He knew he was wrong the minute his venomous words left his lips, but he was too stubborn to let up and now you were gone. You had grabbed your purse without a single word and walked right out the door.
Victor figures you need space, so he graciously gives you 5 minutes before he calls you. You don’t answer and that only frustrated him more.
By his tenth attempt, your phone went straight to voicemail. Did you turn it off?!
The two of you needed to handle this like adults! Even though…this whole thing was sparked by his childish jealousy.
Victor hated to admit when he was wrong, but he would hate it even more if he did something that pushed you away.
When three in the morning rolls around and he has yet to hear from you, Victor is riddled with worry. Spends most of the night looking for you. He checks your office, his office, the park, the hospitals…EVERYWHERE.
What if something happened to you?! What if… What if….
The thought of you going back to Lucien’s place did cross his mind, but you wouldn’t do that, right? Victor didn’t push you into the arms of another, did he?!
Victor honestly feels horrible for ever thinking like that of you, but with the way he acted earlier that night he wouldn’t have blamed you in the slightest.
He had half a mind to go to the professor’s apartment to check when another option crossed his mind.
Souvenir…. Victor recently gave you an extra set of keys leading into the establishment which you often visited in hopes of finding his secret stash of pudding.
Lo and behold there you were practically passed out with a cup of coffee and half eaten pudding by your side.
When Victor saw you it was like a wave of relief washed over him.
The sound of someone entering the restaurant is what stirs you awake.
You tiredly rub the sleep out of your eyes, your vision finally focusing on the disheveled man in front of you. You must have passed out without realizing it.
It wasn’t your intention to fall asleep at Souvenir. All that fighting made you hungry and you knew Victor always had an extra pudding or two hidden in his private fridge at Souvenir.
You were only going to have quick snack and then return home, but it looks like your body had other plans.
You half expected him to scold you for being out so late. Knowing him, he probably blew up your phone and was beyond upset with you for being out this late.
There was a small part of you that liked the idea of making him worry. It serves him right for how he acted towards you.
But you also weren’t ready for a round two with the man.
Maybe if you softened him up before he got the chance open his mouth things would go smoothly.
You’re caught off guard when Victor suddenly kneels before you and pulls you into the tightest hug he can muster.
“Vic-” He cuts you off.
“I’m sorry.” You hear him say in a hushed tone.
It takes a lot for Victor to admit when he was wrong in anything that he said or did. So when you hear him utter those words ever so softly against your skin, you know he means it.
Victor didn’t fear a lot of things, but the thought of not having you in his life terrified him and he finds it hard to express that.
Victor was never the type to wear his heart on his sleeve. It was sometimes hard to tell what he was feeling which was always a drawback in your relationship, but you know he tries hard for you.
You return his hug and sigh softly, gently stroking his back as if to sooth him.
“All I want is for you to respect my friendship with Lucien. I know he’s not your favorite person, but he’s my friend. Promise me you’ll try?”
Was that really so hard? Just putting in a little effort to get along with your friend?
Surprisingly, Victor didn’t object to your pleas.
“I will… For you.”
You smile brightly and give him a quick kiss on the lips. “Good! I was afraid I was going to have to lock you two in a room together and hope for the best.”
Victor wasn’t sure what you hoped to accomplish with such tactics. It was obvious they would try to kill each other.
And then Victor would go to jail for murder….
Lucien
Lucien was a man who kept a lot of things to himself, which you respected.
You had no issues with Lucien keeping certain things private as long as it wasn’t something that would impact your relationship.
It wasn’t like you had much to worry about anyway. Lucien treated you with the utmost respect and showered you with the kind of love that most could only dream of.
Nothing made you question his love for you.
It wasn’t until you just so happen to overhear a private conversation between him and who you assumed was a colleague, when you went to see surprise Lucien with lunch at work.
“It would be a shame if your little girlfriend found out that you’ve been playing her from the very beginning. Two years really is a long time to be playing house, don’t you think?”
“Did you really come all this way to needle me? You being here will jeopardize everything I worked so hard to achieve. I suggest you leave before I escort you out myself.”
While the person was unknown to you, it was Lucien’s voice you could barely recognize. It was low, acidic, and brittle. A complete contrast to the voice filled with warmth and compassion that you came to know and love.
You suddenly couldn’t breathe, the world around becoming a blur. You weren’t sure how long you had been standing there until the door to his office opens and the two find you standing there with tears welling up in your eyes.
You looked from the person to Lucien who looked shocked to see you. Lucien motioned forward ready to say whatever he can to ease your mind, but you’re already gone before he can open his mouth.
That was a week ago. Since then you’ve been staying with a friend; ignoring all of Lucien’s calls and messages. What was he going to say that could make this right? That you misunderstood the conversation? They weren’t talking about you?!
When Lucien saw you standing by the door leading into his office his heart sunk to the pit of his stomach. He knew you overheard his conversation with his associate it. He also knew that nothing he could say or do could rectify the situation, so there was no point in lying.
What you heard was indeed true. He was using you for plans he couldn’t even begin to explain. You were supposed to be someone he used and disposed of once he got what he needed.
He knew how to play with people’s heads to get what he needed, but you put a wrench in his plans. What was supposed to be a year of lies and deceit turned into something unexpected.
It turned into Lucien never wanting to never hurt you, wanting to love you the way you deserved, and wanting to spend the rest of his life being by your side.
He got in too deep and didn’t know how to get out of this. Unfortunately, for his employers he didn’t want to.
You don’t know what possessed you to meet with Lucien again. Maybe it was the pep talk you received from your friend or the fact that you missed him so much and hoped that maybe this was all some poorly executed joke.
When you agreed to meet him at his apartment, he greets you with his usual calm demeanor, but you could tell he wasn’t sleeping well with the noticeable dark circles around his eyes.
You weren’t going to let the sight of him prevent you from finding out the truth. So you got straight to the point. You didn’t want to beat around the bush or give him a chance to find a way out by lying to you.
“When you said you loved me was that a lie?”
All the dates, your plans for the future, nights filled with passion, and words of appreciate and love casually passed between the two of you while you did the most mundane of things had to have been real at some point.
He looks at you for a moment. The silence and tension that filled the room, suffocating.
“You have no reason to believe me, but I meant every word.”
You wanted to believe him so badly. Why? Because you loved him. You didn’t want to believe that after two years of being with someone who claimed to love you was all lies.
“If you walk out of here tonight, I won’t stop you. But if you stay, I’ll tell you everything.”
When you don’t respond he takes a cautious step before you. You wanted to move. You wanted to let him that this wasn’t something a few words could fix. He needed to be upfront with you about everything.
Between trying not to cry, keeping a steady breath and keeping your focus on Lucien, it was becoming hard to multitask.
You let Lucien snake his arms around your waist, pulling you against his chest.
You can feel him trembling slightly into the hug and a pang of pain strikes at your heart. The tears you’ve been pushing back for so long staining your cheeks and his shirt as you sobbed into his chest.
“I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I deemed necessary whether it was good or bad. It didn’t matter who it hurt as long as the plans I put in motion were carried out without fail. Falling in love with you wasn’t a part of the plan and yet here I am; a love sick fool…”

NSFW, Female!Reader
The whole ballroom shines golden, more so when you take into account the partygoers inhabiting it as if they are collectively in defiance of the rainclouds starting to form in the cobalt night. Le Comte, the only reason you are attending this ball commemorating some Duke’s something, is once again being swarmed by many charmed men and women of the high elite, and you’ve taken this opportunity to make a beeline for the food.
An hors d'oeuvre rests delicately between your fingertips as you watch the scene from afar:
Your benefactor, and most recently lover, surrounded by some of Paris’s most important people, men and women alike, some of which you recognize from previous parties. He is the picture of patience, replying with only the amount of words necessary to be polite and sociable at the same time. Having lived a long life as a vampire, he surely has the art of small talk mastered, but it is chiefly his poise and graciousness that attracts these people to him—this much you understand, for you are no different than them.
A lady, young and enchanting, extends a gloved arm to him and he gently kisses the back of her hand. It is a common gesture of the time, but you notice the look in her eyes as she looks down at him.
You know what lies in that gaze. Want.
That same not-so-well-concealed desire lingers even when she stares at him as he stands up straight again, as her plush carmine-dyed lips curl into a pleased, meaningful smile. As Comte speaks, she slowly hooks her arm with his, fingers drawing slow, sensual circles through the fabric of his waistcoat as if coaxing him to please, tell me more. She watches his lips form words.
And when he turns to look at her, he smiles. A pleased, meaningful smile.
You start to feel sick in your throat, chest, and stomach. The first you think to do is look away and take deep breaths, as much as your corset permits. Clearly, your emotions have taken too much control, but it’s too late because you feel jealousy sinking its ugly roots at the bottom of your gut. They were just being friendly, you’re sure. After all, etiquette is of utmost importance in the 19th century.
In your head, another voice replies to you—one that sounds like your own. She is being awfully friendly. The look in her eyes and the curl of her lips enter your mind’s eye again, and you cannot deny the purpose that lies behind them. Beautiful and treacherous she, waiting patiently to lure the Comte with her siren song. That sounds like a lovely story, she would probably say. Please don’t stop there.
God, you sigh, feeling as though you are split into two. You find that you are hating everything, and it has been less than ten minutes since the two of you entered the ball. It is undoubtedly going to be a long night.
A long night, you find yourself imagining the woman whispering that into your lover’s ear as she drapes herself atop him, and you grit your teeth. He has lived a long immortal life, much of which you don’t know about. Surely there were many more before you—women, men, all of them pretty and prim and lusting for him all the same? They must have held whatever place you hold in his life, too.
You try to shake the thought away. Have you become that overly-possessive, jealous person? You shake your head to yourself. That would be horrendous, and you would hate yourself for it.
He probably didn’t even notice that you’ve slipped away.
You swallow the doubt down with a flute of champagne, courtesy of a waiter passing by, and you find yourself glancing at the scene again.
The circle of people has significantly reduced in size. They’re laughing together.
At the exact moment you decide to pray to the higher powers to give you the boundless strength you need to get through the ball, a man approaches you, effectively covering the sight of your lover across the room. You recognize the friendly smile he beams at you—he is no stranger, but a son in a family of knightly nobility you have made acquaintance with from the many encounters at various events around the city. He has one flute of champagne in each hand.
“I was going to offer you a drink, Mademoiselle, but I see you’ve gotten a head start.”
You offer him a curtsy and a smile before downing whatever measly amount you have left within your glass, placing it onto a waiter’s empty tray, and taking his in your hand.
“Sir, I can handle one more.”
He guffaws, more than amused, and the two of you fall into a perfectly natural conversation about how life has been—the perfect distraction for your current situation.
You miss a pair of watchful golden eyes from across the room.
He steals glances at you while doing his best to maintain a sociable countenance with boiling blood, still surrounded by three-four people.
It is testing, even for him, because you seem to be engaging in animated conversation with the heir of the house of Monfort, and he said something to make you laugh. Not the polite laugh you reserve for small talk, but a genuine laugh, one that sends you flashing a grin wide enough you have to cover your mouth with a hand.
The grip on his glass of champagne is dangerously strong, and the Mademoiselle that is persistently latched to his arm has undoubtedly interpreted the flex of his arm as a result of his forbearing towards her unsubtle physical approach rather than his ever-rising temper aimed at the Monfort heir. You mentioned that the two of you have been talking more regularly at parties lately, largely because you judge that he has no romantic intentions towards you, but Comte knows better.
The noble of Paris are always planning. He might not want to romance you, but Lord on high knows there is a great chance he wants to bed you. Engage you as a companion. Comte closes his eyes, willing negative visualization away from his mind, but to no avail, for he has already pictured you in the man’s arms, blushing at the suggestions he whispers in your ear…
A gargle of laughs snaps him out of his thoughts. He wishes he could close the distance between the two of you, kindly tell the Monfort heir to look for another woman to ‘make conversation with’, and whisk you back to the mansion for a proper lesson to remind you who you belong to.
Comte quickly realizes that he hasn’t completely outgrown his rashness from his younger days. Taking another sip of champagne, he tastes nothing but the sour of it and decides to wait.
“Is something the matter, cherie?” he asks as soon as the carriage door closes. “You look like something has been bothering you throughout the ball.”
You swallow, quietly cursing his unbelievable insight—or your very easy-to-read countenance—or both. You realize that this is not something you can skirt around, especially with the amount of time you’re taking to come up with an answer, and the coaxing look Comte is giving you clearly means you cannot back away from this. You take a deep breath.
“Please don’t be upset with me,” you finally say, looking down at both your feet pointing at each other like it is the most interesting thing in the world.
If only you have the courage to look at his face instead, you will find that the placid, peaceful mask he wears at the ball is slowly crumbling.
“I, well, I’m not sure how to say this,” you begin, “but there was a woman you were talking to. Earlier at the ball. The one with the maroon dress…?”
Realizing where the conversation is going, Le Comte’s gaze darkens, uninhibited feelings beginning to bubble from the pit of his stomach. “Mademoiselle de la Roche. Continue.”
You are still not looking at him, opting to observe the moving scenery of the city outskirts from the carriage window instead. Even so, you feel the intensity emanating from the person sitting across you. Something about the night sky and the quiet of the outskirts helps you come forth with honesty.
“Well, I thought she was awfully close, and got a little jealous. Not a little,” you quickly correct yourself, smiling sheepishly, “you obviously noticed. I was jealous. I’m sorry, it was childish. I trust you.”
And that is when you meet his eyes, seeing the gold of his iris melted into caramel by his dilated pupils, the way his lips are slightly parted as he looks at you. Your breath hitches in your throat.
The coach lurches forward, and at the same moment, Le Comte uses the momentum to pull you towards him until you are sitting on his lap, chest to chest. You gasp at the sudden sensation of him pressed so tightly against you, and from above the hammering of your rabbit heartbeat, you hear the coachman from the front.
“Terribly sorry, sir! Other carriages are heading into the city, so there’s a bit of a jam here.”
“That’s quite alright,” you hear your lover reply before he quickly draws the curtains. And to you, he whispers. “Keep your voice low.”
You sigh, because the next thing you know he is kissing your mouth with a different kind of fervor, and his hand snakes up to cup your breast from over your dress. Your hands quickly find their way to his shoulder and into his hair as your body responds to the pleasure—sudden, but not entirely unwelcome. He groans into the kiss, muffling the sound, but from the way his teeth bite your lips and his fingers work the ties of your corset, he is growing impatient.
“You are cruel,” he whispers, moving down to your jaw and neck, “Did you not feel Monsieur Monfort’s gaze on your body? This body,” he says, accentuating his words with tugging the front of your corset, allowing your bare breasts to spill out for his eyes to see. His fingers tease you, pressing and circling your nipple, and you bite your lip so as to not make a sound, too stunned to do more than encourage him by stroking his shoulders.
“You’re so oblivious,” he continues while he litters your neck with deep kisses. “Man wants, my sweet, especially one that already has everything, like him.”
“He’s just a friend,” you gasp as he bites the top of your breast, lapping at the skin seconds after as if offering consolation.
“And Mademoiselle de la Rouche is nothing but another social climber.”
“Ngh!”
He finally slips a hard peak into his warm mouth, tongue flicking and toying with it while his hand on its twin mirrors his movements. You melt, all the tension and anger you’ve kept in your blood throughout the ball fading, replaced by an escalating desire. Warmth pools between your spread legs situated on his lap—Comte feels it, and his hand move further south.
“Don’t—”
He stops, unlatching your nipple from his lips to look up at you. The sight knocks the breath out of him.
You’re almost properly topless, save for the remains of the dress hanging helplessly around your frame, your face red and wanton, with parted lips and hooded eyes looking down at him, your naked chest heaving with each hasty intake of air—the very picture of desire.
“Don’t mention another woman’s name while you’re fucking me.”
Whatever remains of his calm is quickly discarded out the metaphorical window as he kisses you again, this time more desperate than the first, like he can’t get enough of your taste. You moan when you part, and he quickly covers your lips again to muffle the sound, hands on your breast and between your thighs. When met with a hot wetness seeping through your underwear, he smiles into the kiss.
“Then it’s only fair for me to erase all of the traces Monfort has left on you, yes?” He leans down again to pleasure your breast, while his finger insistently presses your clit. You throw your head back, a hand against your mouth and the other in his hair, quietly begging him for more. He laps and sucks and nips in a way that is best described as a man starved. His hand slips under your dress, stroking your thigh and playing with the garter, teasing, making you anticipate. The other is still on your clit, relishing the wetness that you’re coated in. His breath is hot on your chest, and even with your eyes closed, you know he’s looking at your face. He always does.
“That man’s eyes were all over you, cherie, did you even notice?” He asks, panting, admiring the work he’s done on your now flushed breast. Moving to the other, he begins again, this time with his fingers pushing your panties aside and sinking into your heat. You let out a ragged breath against your knuckles, willing your voice to never escape your lips, else the coachman finds out. Comte lets out a sigh amidst his ministrations, enjoying the softness of your flesh against his mouth.
“I’m sure he’s fantasized about this,” he says, and the quality of his voice makes it sound like he’s in a daydream, “about taking you home and having his way with you.” You whine at the sensation of a third finger being added into the foray, and the little control you have over your body and mind is now close to snapping.
“I’m a man who has everything, too,” he sighs your name and you resort to gripping the lapels of his coat as the pressure on the bundle of sensitive nerve grows, “and I want more of you, cherie. Come.”
And you do, breaking down silently into a mess from his fingers alone, inside a carriage taking you home. Your lips form mainly his name and other nonsense like oh god and yes while your body quivers at the impact of your orgasm. He watches with glazed eyes, drinking in the scenery that is making his mouth water, his appetite far from whetted. Comte strokes your cheek, waiting for you to come down from your high, observing your breath slowing down.
The first thing you do when you open your eyes is to search for the buckle of his belt. You work on undoing it with urgency, your eyes glinting still with a desire that reflects his, and when he sees you licking your lips and kneeling at the sight of his erect member, he nearly loses his mind.
“Sweetheart—”
“I want it,” you cut him off before he stops you, gently pumping him with your hand. “I want to give you pleasure too, you know,” is the last thing you say before taking the tip of him in your mouth. Le Comte’s hands fly to your hair, uncaring of the mess his fingers make by combing through them, and his head is thrown back, eyes locked on the scene unfolding before him. Every time with you reduces him into a helpless, desperate, hungry man that only wants one thing.
Your lips are slick with his precum, and when you look up at him and chuckle, your breath on him racks shivers up his spine. He watches as he sinks into you again, in and out, your hands caressing where you don’t reach with your mouth. He can’t take his eyes off of you, and with the knot in his stomach ever-tensing, he quietly calls your name like a mantra.
“Stop,” he finally says, feeling too close to release, and you immediately do as you’re told, looking up at him with concern. He resists the urge to groan at the absence of pleasure, but he manages to whisper to you.
“I want to come inside you.”
“Comte—” you sigh as he coaxes you off your knees and on his lap again, this time with the hardness of him pressed against your very core. Before long you’re panting, because he’s brought your hand up in his, kissing your gloved fingers as his other hand slips your panties to the side, allowing him to enter slowly. Your lips fall open at the sensation, and he hurriedly kisses you, unable to quiet his voice at the feel of you around him.
“Ma cherie,” he breathes, “as much as you’re mine, I’m yours.”
He begins thrusting and you gasp, because the carriage is suddenly moving again, at first slowly, but then gradually becoming faster. With each bump of the wheels against cobblestone, it rocks, pushing him deeper into you, and you no longer have the control to govern over the sounds coming out of your mouth.
“Ah, ah, ah—”
Comte presses a kiss on your throat before sinking his fangs, a catalyst to the most pleasure the two of you have ever felt in a lifetime. He relishes the taste of you, and the impossibly wet tightness encapsulating him like a velvet glove. You whisper his name, slave to the sensation coursing through your veins, body growing mad with wanting more. He pulses inside you, and knowing that he’s close, presses a finger against your clit and pulls you into a kiss.
Your hands on his chest stay still as you come undone a second time, the first of the night for him, the moans you both spill barely quieted by the kiss. You’re left weak and satisfied, but only until you see the look on his face when you open your eyes. Comte presses his lips against yours one last time as the carriage slows down into a stop. He hooks his arm under your knees, ready to carry you upstairs despite your unkempt state. You let out a small laugh in defeat, hiding your bare chest by pressing yourself as close to him as possible.
Right before the coachman opens the door, he leans down to whisper to you, a scandalous smirk on his lips.
“We’re not done yet.”
Everyday life in Tokyo
I have been working on other things this year - sketches, stories, concepts for things, etc. I’m also working on the one big commission that (with the helo of my fabulous Patreon supporters) will allow me to stay afloat this year, so I’m quite busy. I managed though to make this bigger illustration with watercolors and fountain pens.
You can see the process and hear me talking in more details about it here:
I’m thrilled to get back to this style of storytelling illustrations with a bit more complexity to them, characters, and a proper backstory - things that I liked about my “Cold in Yokohama” or “Bicycle Boy” series. This time I got inspired by a really old photo that I took in Kyoto’s Arashiyama just after a storm that caught me there passed - the still dark sky was maybe not as ominous as the one in the picture, but it started this idea.
Tools: - Canson Moulin Du Roy paper (cold press) - Fountain pens: - Indigraph EF (Rotring ink) - LAMY Safari M (Rotring Ink) - Platinum President F (Carbon ink) - Schmincke Horadam watercolors - white poster color paint

From that recent event in JP app where the LI meets MC in modern day. Didn’t look at the event title carefully.
So, do you think Comte looks good in modern day clothes? I thought it might be something smarter, like a pressed white shirt with light color pants and that scarf of his as shown in the picture.
