The title of the fic is a reference to this song of the same name! There's no relation beyond that, I just think it's a cute song :D
You were supposed to meet up with Lohen & Theodore at the formerâs apartment 30 minutes ago. Unfortunately, one thing led to another and here you are, showing up fashionably late. You sent a text in the group chat to let them know about your predicament, but got no response.
As you walk up the front door of Lohenâs abode, preparing your rant about how much the universe hated you today, you hear some⌠peculiar words.
âTaking them out to a shooting range on the first date is a terrible idea!â
You slow your steps at the sound of Theodoreâs voice. What on Teyvat could he possibly be talking about?
âHey, Iâm trying my best here! How am I supposed to know good places to take someone on the first date?â You hear Lohen respond.
Theodore sighs, âYou should focus on telling them how you feel first.â
âIâm working on it.â Lohen grumbles.
âYouâre not working on it hard enough. Youâve been crushing on them for months now, and the closest youâve gotten to confessing is telling them âI like your shade of blood.â while they were sleeping.â Theodore deadpanned.
Hold up. Lohen has a crush on someone? Lohen? He has feelings for someone?!
You quickly unlock the door and let yourself in.
âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?!â You exclaim, barging into the not-so-secret conversation considering Lohen and Theodore were talking so loudly you could hear them clear as day through the formerâs front door.
Both of them whip around to face you at the sound of your voice. Theodoreâs looking at you in shock while Lohenâs face quickly turns red.
âHey- are you okay?â The sight worried you. You quickly make your way over to check if Lohenâs coming down with something. The last time you saw his face this red was when he got extremely sick with the flu in fifth grade.
As you brush Lohenâs hair out of the way to place the back of your palm on his forehead, his face somehow becomes even more red.
âIâm fine!â Lohen tries his best to say it with his usual air of charisma, only for his voice to crack as the words come out.
He felt like he was burning up. You are very much not convinced that heâs fine.
âHe just uh⌠saw his crush walking by outside the window!â Theodore stammers out.
You gasp, quickly running towards said window, slamming your palms besides either side of your head as you smush your forehead against the glass. âWhere?â
âOh they've already gone inside by now.â Theodore nervously chuckles, shooting a glare at Lohen while youâre still focused outside.
(He wasn't lying per say, just stretching the truth a little. Lohen had been watching you approach the apartment complex while you were still quite the distance away, and now you're inside.)
You let out a disappointed sigh before giving up and going over to flop down on Lohenâs couch before pouting at him as you repeat your question from earlier, âWhy didnât you tell me?â You sounded hurt.
âI⌠thought you would get jealous?â Lohen wants to punt himself out the window with that line delivery. He doesnât need to turn around to know that Theodoreâs got an exacerbated look on his face as the brunette fights every urge in his body to facepalm right then and there.
Lohen was always a ferocious child. Heâs gotten into (and won) so many fights over the years. So how the hell is he losing to you in a battle you didnât even know existed?
âLohen.â You sit up straight, grabbing both his shoulders and pulling him close to you. âIâve been trying to get you to make some more friends for years now. Why the hell would I be jealous?â Your words came out with just a little too much malice.
God you looked so attractive when angry.
If Lohen wasnât mortified about the current situation (and if Theodore wasn't here), he would absolutely close the distance between your lips right now.
âBecause Iâd be spending less time with you?â He tries to reason. At least it sounded believable.
Your angry expression morphs into a stunned one before you start laughing, âYou have got to be kidding me! Weâve been friends for so long now. Go confess your feelings to them! I know you wonât stop spending time with me just because you get a partner.â Your words sounded strained.
âMaybe you can help him with that.â Theodore interjects.
Lohen mentally adds him to his poisoning hit-list.
Two days later, here you were, sitting in front of Lohen so he can practice confessing his feelings, while Theodore is quietly snicking in the corner.
The two of you were seated across from each other at his dining room table. You thought it would be helpful to set the scene as if you were on an actual date. Theodore is playing the role of the waitstaff while you act the part of Lohenâs crush. He did seem oddly jittery about this whole thing, maybe this will help him be better prepared for the real deal?
(This definitely wasn't your poorly veiled attempt at feeling like you were on an actual date with him. Your crush. Definitely not.)
Though, the only things Lohen thought were âhelpfulâ in this situation were the dimmed lights. They were doing a lot of the heavy lifting in concealing his raging blush.
âToday was just wonderful, wouldnât you say?â You said, dreamily, looking into Lohenâs eyes with a soft smile.
âIâm, uh, glad you had fun?â His voice went up a little too high near the end there, but at least it didn't crack this time.
You signal him to keep going, this was the best heâs done all day! But to be fair, nothing can be worse than him thinking a good way of impressing his crush was by playing the knife game with his own hand.
You would've been a lot more concerned if only you hadn't seen him do that a million times by now. Sometimes you even let him use your hand when youâre bored. You trust he knows what he's doing.
(Lohenâs been asking to use your hand much more frequently these past few months. It's the perfect excuse for him to hold your hand, if only for a moment. He's even managed to convince you to let him play with your palm faced up. He says it's to spice things up. It's not. He just wants an excuse to stare at those pretty veins on your wrist.)
To help aid him, you reach across the table to hold one of his hands in your own, giving it a comforting squeeze whilst trying your best to ignore the butterflies in your stomach.
Lohen looks down at your entwined hands, pausing for a moment before finally saying, âYour hands would look great around my neck right now.â
He cannot be serious.
âLohen. Respectfully. What the fuck?â You deadpanned, âOkay, that may work on me, but youâre supposed to be pretending that Iâm your crush right now!â You let out a sigh, âLetâs try it again from the topâŚâ
Theodore bursts out laughing from behind you as Lohen wishes he could burst out the front door.
âSo⌠are they here yet?â You ask for the fifth time that hour alone.
âNo. And stop asking, youâll blow our cover.â Theodore shushes.
âWe are standing in the arcade holding newspapers in front of our faces. This is the exact opposite of what having cover is.â You hiss back.
The three of you were at the local arcade, a place Lohenâs crush supposedly frequented, due to your insistence on at least seeing who said crush is. Youâve been there for almost four hours, doing nothing but slightly shuffling locations every so often, hoping to find them.
You did think that was a bit odd though. You and Lohen came here pretty often, so how the hell would you have missed seeing them up until now? Plus, you were starting to get bored. Who the hell goes to an arcade just to stand around all day? Well, the three of you but thatâs besides the point.
You sigh as you tilt your head up and let your hands fall, bringing the newspaper down with them, âCall me back over when they show up, I wanna play some of the rhythm games.â And then off you went.
As soon as you were safely out of earshot, Theodore speaks up, âOkay this is getting ridiculous, you have to tell them that you like them!â
âAbsolutely not,â Lohen hisses back, âIâm willing to chance a lot of things, this is not one of them.â
âDid you even listen to what they said the other week? âOkay, that may work on me, but-â Theyâre receptive to your shitty flirting, thatâs gotta mean something.â
Lohen hates that Theodore had a point. He crosses his arms and looks to the side.
Big mistake.
His eyes fell on you as you hit every note on the game you were playing with accuracy & precision. You were slamming on those poor buttons at this point, but it looks like you were going to get the full combo, so why did you look so upset?
(You have no idea how attractive you looked to Lohen right now. He wants nothing more than to march over to you and beg you to take your frustrations out on him instead of that stupid machine.)
Lohen only breaks his gaze off you when he sees your eyes light up at something in the distance before you start walking back to where he and Theodore still stood.
âThey got a new shooter in, come on, letâs go try it!â You eagerly linked your arm with Lohenâs, quickly tugging him towards the machine.
He doesnât miss how tight your grip on him is, nor does he miss the peeved expression on your face.
So you were getting jealous.
Theodore excuses himself to let you two have some alone time before giving Lohen a thumbs-up for encouragement.
He receives a middle-finger in response.
âIâm starting to think this mystery person doesnât exist.â You sigh.
Lohen almost choked on his water when you said that out loud while studying together in his living room. Yet you sounded⌠almost relieved?
âWhat makes you say that?â He was going to crush his water bottle with how tightly he was squeezing it.
You shrug, âWell, it's been a whole month and they've never showed up at any of the places you and Theodore claimed they frequented.â
âYou've just been really unlucky then!â Lohen tries to laugh it off, âIâve seen them. Many times.â
He really shouldâve thought that through, âPlease donât ask me where please donât ask me where please donât ask me where-â
âWhat if they're avoiding me on purpose? Lohen, what if they hate me?!â You sound genuinely worried as you hold your head in your hands.
âI'm sure that can't be the case, who could hate someone like you?â It was a miracle he managed to say that smoothly.
âBut what if they really don't like me and want us to stop hanging out once you're together?â You were slowly starting to spiral now.
Lohen was offended by that.
Did you really think he'd up and abandon you, his best friend for almost two decades now, just because some rando, crush or not, asked him to?
He flicks your forehead before pulling you into a hug, nuzzling his face into your neck.
âYou're such a dummy.â His voice was soft, âWe've been together for how long and you're worried about something like that? You're never getting rid of me, bunny, not even if you, or anyone else, tried.â
You don't know what to say in response.
Lohen continues, âYou mean so, so much to me. Please don't ever leave my side.â His grip is bruising, contrasting the gentle tone of his voice as the words rush out of him.
It wasn't out of the ordinary for him to be physically affectionate towards you, but something felt different about this.
This felt too close. Too intimate.
It only made it harder for you to push down your feelings for him. You wrap your arms around him as tightly as you can around him.
You don't want him to let go.
You donât want this moment to end.
âYou're acting like you'd rather date meâŚâ You joked, picking your words carefully, desperately hoping for a sign, any sign that your feelings were reciprocated.
âYes.â The word comes out of Lohenâs mouth before he even realizes what he's said.
Your eyes widen. Thereâs no way you just heard him say that⌠right?
âWha- What did you sayâŚ?â You managed to verbalize, as you loosen your arms around him. You wanted to look at his face, but couldn't with how tightly he had wrapped himself around your frame.
Lohen can't tell if your response is positive or negative.
For once, he feels fearful. He didnât want this to be how he told you how he felt, but there was no going back. All he could do now was hold onto you even tighter, hoping that could somehow change the outcome for the better if you didnât feel the same way about him.
Lohen takes a shaky breath, before slowly repeating, âYes.â
âLohen. Look at me. Please.â
He could never refuse anything you asked of him.
He gives you one last squeeze before following your command, loosening himself from you just enough so he can look into your eyes.
However, your eyes weren't looking into his.
Your gaze was instead focused downward, on his lips.
Oh. Oh.
Without hesitation, he closes the distance between your lips, bringing one hand up to the back of your head, pulling you deeper into the kiss, while the other pushes your legs together before finding the back of your knees and lifting you up, carrying you to his bedroom.
He was not letting his precious bunny go tonight.
Theodore gets a text from Lohen the next morning.

Guess whoâs dating now :p

⥠(one of author's personal favorites)
You really werenât sure you could follow this tutorial of his.
âSo you step back with one foot like this,â Lohen said, tilting his body with the backward movement of his leg. âThen you hold your hands like this. One by your chin, one in front of you. And when you go to throw a punch, you justâ.â He pivoted on his right foot, launching the fist by his chin straight forward as his body snapped with the motion.
âWham! Like that.â He grinned, placing his hand on his hip. âEasy enough, yeah?â
You felt a nervous sweat dot your brow. Wringing your fingers before yourself, you said, âUm, show me again?â
âSure, sure. Step back like thisâŚone fist to your chin, the other in frontâŚthen wham!â
The way Lohenâs fist punched through the air was already giving you a heart attack. You gawked at him when he started to bounce back and forth on his heels, explaining to you, âYou can even throw a jab like this! Then a straight! Then a good old uppercut!â
His lithe body moved through the steps as your mind struggled to come to terms with them. Massaging your hands together, you winced when Lohen let out an excited laugh. His crimson eyes twinkled as they stared at you, a smirk pushing one corner of his lips higher than the other.
âOh, donât look so scared. It kinda turns me on.â
âShut up,â you said, heat pooling in your cheeks. âI just donât want to hurt you.â
âWhat? Thatâs, like, kinda the whole point.â He grinned, popping his eyebrows at you. âCome on, you know you wanna try it. Give it a go. Hit me!â
He spanned his arms out like he was waiting for a hug, but you knew Lohen better than to assume that. You probably would have preferred if he was in a snuggling mood, though, because you werenât even sure how to approach the act of punching your boyfriend in the face.
âI donât know,â you stammered. âIt doesnât really feel natural. LikeâŚI donât think Iâd be able to hit you just because you asked me to.â
âBun, youâre overthinking it.â He flapped his fingers inwards, towards himself. The smug grin on his face persisted when he said, âJust do it. Will it help if I tell you I want it?â
Not really, because you could already tell thatâs what he wanted.
âHm.â Lohen crossed one arm over his chest, the other coming up with his pensive fist. He rubbed his chin, observing you with a raised eyebrow as he continued to let out thoughtful hums. He raised one eyebrow, let it fall, then raised the other eyebrow, and let that one fall too.
âStop doing that,â you mumbled. âIt makes me uncomfortable.â
âOh yeah?â Lohen asked, shifting his brows across his forehead again. âDoes it make you mad?â
âNot mad, just uncomfortableâ.â
âWhat if I burned down the library?â he asked chipperly. âWould that make you mad?â
âWhat?! Iâd be devastated!â you shot back. âLisa and I have spent so long arranging every text in that library! Thereâs centuries of knowledge in there! You canât just go and burn it down!â
âMm,â Lohen said, his teeth biting into his grinning lower lip. âI like it when you yell at meâŚbut Iâm afraid that wonât stop me from burning your precious books to the ground, sweetheart.â
âYouâre not actually going to do something like that. I know youâre just saying that. R-right?!â
The words left your lips, but your brain was already fixated on an image of chaos. Lohen, sneaking into the Knights of Favonius library with a match in his hand, waiting for you to organize every last book return and label each new addition before casually setting the place ablaze.
Oh, that was definitely a possible outcome. Knowing him, heâd be so covert about it that you wouldnât even notice until the whole place was nothing but ashes.
âYouâre maaad,â he said in a sing-song voice. âSo mad you could punch me. Right?â
âAre you trying to threaten me into beating you?!â
âPft! Oh, come on, you know Iâd never do that! Itâs just a bit of light coercion.â
Was he bluffing or was he serious? Did you really want to wait around and find out?
âHey, what was the name of that porn book youâve been reading?â Lohen asked, tapping his chin. âThe one from that series youâve been waiting on for the past two years?â
Your cheeks smoldered into flames. Indignantly, you snapped, âFateâs Glimmer is not a porn book! Itâs a romantic tragedy that analyzes the conflicts between conquest and birthrightâ!â
âYeah, yeah, whatever.â Lohen waved his hand dismissively, his smirk growing wider. âIâm pretty sure you left your porn book on my nightstand. Wouldnât you just hate if something were to happen to it? I mean, you went and got the collectorâs edition and allâŚâ He clicked his tongue, shaking his head. âWaste of money if you ask me. Why read porn when you could just fuck meâ!â
âWHAP!
Lohenâs head whirled from the impact of your fist against his cheek, his words struck dead on his tongue. Your knuckles protested with throbbing pain, but by the Archons if it didnât feel good to wipe that smug smile off his face. It was one thing for him to burn down the library, but to incinerate Fateâs Glimmer: Collectorâs Edition Vol. 24? He had gone too far!
âItâs a romantic tragedy!â you barked. âIt's a brilliant analysis on how war impacts families and intimate relationships! Any explicit content is solely for the purpose of accompanying the plot, but you wouldnât understand that, youâŚ! YouâŚ! Ugh!â
Lohenâs mouth hung open, his eyes wide during your whole tirade. As you came down from your moment of fury, you quickly snapped back to your senses.
You had just punched Lohen in the face. Over a book. You assaulted your boyfriend; over a novel.
You winced. âIâm sorryâ.â
ââfuck,â Lohen said over you, red seeping into his face. He tongued at the inside of his cheek, moaning. âGood job, Bun. Now do it again.â
âYou are just soâ!â Your hands curled up into fists before you let out a ragged sigh. âNo, Iâm not going to hit you again!â
His eyes turned half-lidded, a perverse smile settling across his lips. Slowly, he drawled, âThen I guess Iâm gonna piss in your porn book.â
Before you could stop yourself, your body was launching across the room, barreling straight into his.
Lohen liked playfighting a bit too much. Maybe it was because youâd stand no chance against him in a real fightâand you wouldnât ever be foolish enough to try. Since he couldnât spar with you, he spent most of his time finding other ways to force you into a tussle.
His face loomed over yours, cackling.
âHey, Bun! Remind me what the characters in your âromantic tragedyâ were doing in that last chapter you told me about?!â
You let out an anguished groan, heat bathing your cheeks as you stared into his mocking red eyes. Lohen laughed, his hands pinning your shoulders to the ground, and in a teasing voice asked, âWhy the hesitation, sweetheart? I thought it was an analysis on war!â
âUgh, screw you!â you spat, pushing up into his chest with the flat of your palms. âCorina and Zand finally reunited after a whole year! Itâs only natural for there to be tension!â
âAnd what did they do during their glorious reunion? Whatâd they do with all that tensionâhuh, Bun? Enlighten me!â
You shoved your body weight forward, and even though he was far stronger than you, he pretended to flip onto the ground anyway. He grinned from ear-to-ear as you sat atop of him, your hands curled into the collar of his shirt.
âTheyâre in love!â you sputtered, the burning sensation in your face intensifying. âThey havenât seen each other in a year! Itâs only logical they wouldâŚ!â
âItâs only logical they wouldâŚ!â he mocked in a high-pitched, girly voice. âLogical they would what, Bun? Do a little bit of this?!â
You yelped when he bucked his hips underneath you, sending you bouncing atop his lap as his laughter filled your ears. You pressed your hand to his mouth, trying to suffocate those uncontrolled chortles under your palm, but Lohen only moaned and bit you.
âOw!â
âYou like that, bunny?â he asked, his grin splitting his face in two. âYou wanna bounce on me just like Corina bounced on Zand?â
âStop!â you whined, stuck between a strange cross of irritated and horny. âYouâre so annoying!â
âThat didnât sound like a no to me!â
His hips popped up into yours again, the bulge in his trousers meeting the skirt of your dress. Glaring at him, you snapped, âYou canât seriously be horny right now!â
âOh, yeah,â he groaned exaggeratedly. âYell at me some more, wonât you, babe? I might just bust.â
âWhy are you like this?!â
âOh, I can be worse! Wanna hear my best impression of you when youâre bouncing on my dick?â
âNo, of course I donâtâ!â
âAh, ah, ah!â he mimicked, rutting up against you all the while. âLohen, slow down! Iâm gonna cuuum!â
With a furious scream, you lifted him by his collarâwhich he let you doâbefore thrusting him back into the ground. His laugh was borderline-maniacal, tears budding at the corners of his eyes as he play-struggled beneath you. But before you could think to move, your world was spinning, and with your back pressed solidly into the ground, Lohen was on top of you again. He rutted against you with sharp, sporadic thrusts, mimicking, âLohen, Lohen, Lohen!â
âFucking stop it!â you blurted.
âOh, but youâre wet, arenât you? I donât even have to touch you to feel it.â
No you were not wet for Lohen while he dryhumped you across the floor of your living room and imitated the way you moaned for him when he fucked the living soul out of youâ.
âIâm wet,â you mumbled, your heart pounding against your ears.
âOf course you are,â he purred. âYour brainâs all addled from that porn book of yours. You donât even notice how horny you get when you read it, do you?â
âStop,â you complained, pressing your eyes closed. âI most definitely do not get horny while reading it.â
âYou do,â he purred, hips rocking, hands rising to your face. âI sit and watch you read sometimes. When you start biting your lip, thatâs how I know youâre at the smut part.â
âI donât do that,â you protested.
âYeah you do, Bun. And you start looking around too, trying to make sure I canât see those filthy little pages of yours.â
Of course Lohen would notice something like that, even when you thought you were being covert about it. There wasnât much you could hold over his head in the surprise varietyâyou even stopped trying to hide his birthday presents after the third foiled attempt. After you got together, he suggested that next time you cut the gimmicks and show up with a bow taped to your tits and a dagger in your hand.
Lohenâs laughter drove the scene from your mind. He leaned down to press a chaste kiss to your mouth, after which he said, âWant me to fuck you?â
You closed your eyes and whimpered, âYes.â
Your fingers curled into Lohenâs shoulders as he moved atop of you. Legs tucked over his back, you encouraged the forward motion of his hips with each of his hard thrusts. Lohen nibbled at your chin, his nails scratching against the hardwood floor beside your head.
âYouâre so embarrassed,â Lohen said, laughing against your jaw. âHow adorable.â
Your cunt throbbed in response to his provocation, squeezing around his girth. Lohenâs tongue plopped onto your chin, and with a lazy drag upwards, smeared his wet saliva all over your face. When he reached your mouth, you stubbornly kept your lips pressed closed.
âHuh?â he asked. âYou donât want your kisses? When youâre the one who always whines about them?â
He snapped his hips forward again, making you release a strained moan into the air. The way Lohen fucked into you mashed against the sweet bundle of nerves pocketed inside, and he wasnât a stranger to abusing that. He angled himself better for it, and it was somewhat painful when he stabbed into it again, but your pleasure was undeniable. Lohen tried for your mouth again, and you quickly clamped your panting lips shut.
He chuckled, his teeth nipping your upper lip. You flinched, and he giggled more.
âYou mad at me?â he asked teasingly. âJust âcause I made fun of you for reading erotica?â
Your brows furrowed together. âItâs not erotiâ! Mm!â
Ah, he had gotten you with that one. While your mouth was open, snapping at him, he had leaned down to slot his against yours. His hot tongue broke past your lips, waltzing around between your teeth like it owned the place. He moaned against you, stroking his thumbs over your cheeks, and gave you another solid thrust.
Your nails dug into the fabric of his shirt. Eyes fluttering shut, you felt yourself slip into a state of pure bliss.
But then things started to get cold. You thought you were imagining it at first, that maybe it was just a shiver, but then your teeth started chattering against the soft of Lohenâs tongue. He crooned a naughty little giggle, and the reason behind your frigid state became startlingly clear.
Shuddering, you wrapped your arms around him, pulling his body further into yours. You turned your face away from his kiss, clinging to his warm frame as you barked, âWhy are you doing that?â
Of course, you were referring to his inappropriate use of his cryo vision. Lohen snickered.
âI like it when you cling onto me,â he purred. âMakes me feel good.â
âItâs c-cold,â you complained.
âThen I guess youâll have to cling a little bit harder.â
âLohenâŚâ
You groaned, but you wrapped yourself around him tighter anyway. With both arms and legs holding him in a vice-like grip, you hooked your chin over his shoulder, your cheeks warm. He nuzzled into the side of your face, pressing sloppy kisses to your cheek all the while. For a guy who complained about the mundanity of kisses and cuddles, he sure was a hypocrite whenever he was on top of you like this. You had even started wondering if he liked it more than you did.
Your palms, flat against his back, stroked across his blue button down. He let out a breath against your cheek.
âYou feel good,â you murmured.
His hips stuttered. Lifting his face back over yours, Lohen grinned at you, red consuming his cheeks from ear to ear.
âYeah?â he said. âYou like me or something, Bun?â
You cracked a smile back, rolling your eyes. âYouâre so silly.â
âHehâŚcheeky girl. Iâll show you silly.â
He rammed into you harder, his brows furrowed, but with a satisfied smile still etched across his face. You moaned his name, your eyes trained on that wicked grin of his. When his mouth descended onto yours, you dug your nails into the fabric of his shirt.
âMm,â he moaned. Between wet, sloppy mashes of his mouth against yours, âGonna fuck you silly, Bun.â
Embarrassing, but you liked the sound of it.
âGonna make you go, oh, Lohen!â
Okay, now he was just being a dick. Your cunt was still throbbing though, so what did that say about you?
âAh, Lohen, stop!â he mocked, his shoulders shaking with his laughs. âGood impression, no?â
âCan you not make fun of me while youâre fucking me?!â
âAw, but I like it! Youâre so cute when youâre mad, Bun!â
âJust shut up and fuck me!â you sputtered.
âHa! Well, if you insist.â
âOh,â you moaned suddenly, feeling the stroke of his cock shift into a pound. His tip fucked that spot you adored like heâd never get a chance at it again, and as pleasure shot through your core in hot waves, you sputtered, âYeah, justâŚjust like that.â
âIâm gonna make a bingo card next time,â he purred. âFill it full of the shit you say when youâre about to cum.â
Why, oh why did you like it when he made fun of you like that?
âI wonder if itâs gonna be slow down! or not yet! this time. What do you think, Bun?â
âSlow down,â you slurred, your heels digging into his hips. âFuck, Lohen, slow down.â
âLike music to my ears.â
âIâm gonna cum,â you whimpered. âPlease stop.â
âBut I want you to cum, pretty girl.â
Oh fuck him.
Lohen laughed when you slipped into it, your hands clawing at the back of his shirt while you mewled and moaned the exact way he had made fun of you for. You felt the sting of his hips into yours, a bit of biting cold that he couldnât control, preceded by the lively throb of his dick inside you. Your back arched as though you were being pulled to Celestia, but Lohenâs body kept you tethered, holding you right where you were.
âFuuuck,â he drawled, his eyes unfocused. He grinned, but the expression twitched, shifting his face between a smug one and a desperate one. Fingers clawing into the floor beneath you, Lohen half-spat, half-moaned, âBunny.â
Fuck, fuck, fuck, you were cumming againâ.
âGoodâŚgood job,â he said, his voice lilting into a whimper. âYouâre myâŚmy everything, Bunny.â
Tears budded at the corners of your eyes. Holding him ever so tight, you whined back, âI love you.â
He exhaled a shaky laugh. Lowering his head, the tip of his nose brushed against yours.
âPretty girl,â he crooned. âI love you more.â
With an ear-splitting smile, tears ran down your cheeks as you laughed. Lohen craned down to kiss you, swallowing your giggles and salty tears along with your hot tongue.
âMm,â he said when he withdrew. âStill gonna make that bingo card.â
Your smile immediately fell flat. Whamming your fists against his shoulders, Lohen only nuzzled into you and laughed.
What a pain of a boyfriend. He was stupid, reckless, and borderline psychotic.
Yet in the depths of your heart, you knew you wouldnât want him any other way.

Idea by this lovely person right here: @darkmodeilluga
Itâs wonât be so good and might be ooc but I hope you have a good read!!
You have known Lohen, The Vice Captain of the Fifth Company, for long enough to know about his tendencies and behaviour.
Yet it is something that you did not mind, as it is still a part of him and that is enough for you. Loving him wholeheartedly is enough for both of you.
And yet, it does not stop people from talking.
Lohen did not attempt to silence anyone who spoke the same words as the last- â{âŚ} is such a strong person, how can she handle The Vice Captain?!â
It was simply amusing to him, because he had once thought that you may not fully accept him due to his obsessions and love for violence.
But on the other side of the coin was you, who actually did not like any of this at all. Many praised you for being able to handle Lohen as if he was a hassle, a burden on your shoulders instead of a man you wholeheartedly love and adore. You considered him to be far more than a simple battle maniac. He has his own things that he loves and care about, maybe a little different than a normal person but thatâs makes him even more endearing in your eyes.
How idiotic.
Sitting in Angel Share, simply for the food since your lover dislikes alcohol, while waiting for Lohen to arrive from a task, Huffman decided to plop down on the seat that was saved for Lohen. The brunette before you clearly had some respect toward you, even if you were not a part of the knights. He would speak formally and politely as if you were the Grandmaster in the flesh. But you were not obviously and both you and Lohen had caught on to his intentions. It was a hassle to you and entertainment to your lover. A good thing that you are on the second floor since it is not as busy on this fine day.
âGreetings, Miss {âŚ}. Fine day, isnât it?â
Offering a nod and a polite smile, you agreed to his statement. It was indeed a fine day with the clouds protecting Mondstadt from the sun.
âMay I get you a drink?â
WellâŚ.awkward, that you certainly were the moment those words left his lips. He did know that you were waiting for someone and it could easily assumed to be Lohen since the both of you were inseparable.
âNo thank you, Iâm waiting for Lohen at the moment.â
The dimming of the glint in his eyes was easily noticeable but the knight tried to act casual by leaning back against the chair.
âAh, Vice Captain Lohen. Itâs a wonder how you easily tamed him-â
âIâm gonna stop you right there, Sir Huffman.â
His lips were sealed shut with his shoulders tensing a little. There was no doubt that his words had bothered you with the way you were glaring lethally at him. Itâs not the first time he tried to compliment you in that way, of being able to handle Lohen as if he were an animal.
âDo not dare to speak of my lover as if he were a monster to be tamed. It is not the first time that you said such words. You speak of my lover before me, not some animal, and I want you to speak his name with the same respect you give me.â
The sound of the silence was deafening within the second floor of the tavern. He was stunned before shame began to appear on his features.
âI-â
âTell that to your fellow knights as well.â
âIâm sorryâŚ.â
With clear shame and embarrassment, he stood up and looked at the top of the stairs which leads down. But the way he froze beside the table made you curious as you glanced over your shoulder-
Lohen.
Lohen himself was there with a smirk on his face.
He stepped forward, patting Huffman on the shoulder as he passed him.
âSlacking on duty I see.â
This made Huffman mutter a quick apology before scurrying away, which made you turn to look at Lohen with curiousity.
âHe had duties?â
âNot the thing we should be talking about now, bunbun!â
Instead of sitting on the other side of the table, he pulled the chair to make it beside your own. A an arm rested on the back of your chair to drum his fingers on your shoulder. With a tilt of his head, he gazed at you deeply like he did whenever he was full of affection at moment.
Which is every second of the day.
âNot some animal yet you call me a hare whenever you get the chance-â
He chuckled affectionately, as if he wasnât bothered by Huffmanâs words that were aimed toward him.
âBecause you act like one!â
âAct like one? Then do you really want me to act like one? To show their affection, hares show it by testing their partnerâs strength-â
âDonât even think about it.â
That got a laugh out of him before leaning on your shoulder, nuzzling closely. It was slowly becoming calmer, the air more quiet aside from the noise of the drunkards downstairs. You can even pick up Huffmanâs frantic tone as he talks to someone quickly.
ââŚbunâŚâ
You hummed in response to his call, to which he pressed closer to your side. Deep down, you know that he had realised how loved he is at that moment, genuine love from someone who is neither his parents nor Adorno.
âThank you for staying with meâŚâ
âI always will, Hare.â
That got a soft and shared chuckle between the both of you, truly relaxing at the moment. Settling your head against his own head, you finally let out a sigh of relief.

đĽ WARNINGS: lohen gets slapped, twice. him being an idiot, flustered, awkward, and the like. idky they're really cheesy and just fluff. mentions of diluc. creative liberties with his background (only a smidge though (i still havent met him in game (i deleted the game))). reader still has/implied mommy issues; not fully proofread; expect mistakes!
⪠FINAL NOTES .á hi gang hahaha... i lived! so sorry for the lack of updates on this acc i fear i may have. um... been maxxing with the evil residents. REGARDLESS ITS HERE YAY!!! it kinda derailed from my initial outline but wtv, it's still lohen. art credits: @.su3ka_ on x!
you come to realize fairly quickly that master diluc, the most sought-after bachelor in all of mondstadt, is a great host. it shoudln't come as a surprise â you've met him enough times in galas and celebrations to know that his manners are impeccable. the kind of fortress you can't take down even if you had an archon's blessings at your fingertips. he's also, without a doubt, exceptionally kind. kind enough to assist you out onto the roof after another heated argument with your mother.
in that quick bumping of shoulders in the dim-lit hallways, there's a part of you that regrets not being more mindful of his letter all those months ago. warm, ruby eyes that remind you of the flames the villages in snezhnaya would light to guide their traveling companions home. diluc ragnvindr, when he takes your gloved hand in his, leading you outside to soak in the evening breeze and away from your mother's screaming.
you let go of his hand once you're out of earshot. partly in fear of never letting it go, another feels like you're betraying your fiancĂŠ by taking the hand of another man.
"thank you, master diluc," you expressed with a forlorn, tired smile. arms hugging yourself for comfort as the shouting slowly grew quieter.
diluc only nods in understanding, slowly making his way to stand beside you, being mindful of his distance from you. "i used to come here often, too. when i was younger," he confessed, eyes straining to watch the distant clouds shape themselves into a childhood memory â distant, intimate, but no less important.
you don't meet his eyes, not even sparing him another glance as you stare at the hand he held. he was a warm presence, the complete contrast to the brief contact you had with lohen at his tavern earlier today.
"i'm sorry for causing such an uproar so late in your own home, no less."
"there's no need to apologize," he reassures. you think he turns to face you, and in your mind, you can imagine an understanding smile creeping up his face. "arguments are normal."
not ours. you thought. they were normal in the sense that they happened too often. you'd even go as far as comparing it to breathing â natural, easy, a necessity.
"did it ever get better?" you ended up asking before you could stop. arms hugging yourself tighter and tighter when the wind caressed your figure. it was warm, surprisingly enough. it reminded you of home, wherever that is.
diluc hums. "it does with time. you just have to be⌠patient."
"speaking from experience?"
at that, he chuckles. his shoulders bounce with the quiet sound as he pushes himself up to his full height and returns inside. "yes, unfortunately."
you don't press further, only offering him one quiet "thank you" under your breath. you stay on the porch for a long while until your father comes to get you. you don't pay attention to how he begins to explain why your mother lashed out, nor do you care enough to play pretend when her tears greet you as you enter the living space.
you nod, accept, and bid them good night.
lohen's first impression of you that night in the tavern can be summed up with one word: miserable. you looked utterly, and wholeheartedly, miserable.
it was hard not to notice when he grew up with people who smiled all the time and laughed as if tomorrow wasn't guaranteed. you stood out like a sore thumb, even in the quietest corner of angel's share, with your hand absentmindedly swirling the drink in your cup, letting others pass you by as if you were some spectre meant to haunt the establishment.
maybe that's how he finds himself in this⌠precarious situationâ
"vice-captain�!"
â with him, right outside of your bedroom window, balancing his weight on a nimble branch on a tree.
"what are you doing? that's dangerous!"
lohen sighs heavily with a shake of his head. he should've expected this. why hadn't he? after all, you were the new pretty face in town who had no idea what his character entailed. but a part of him, that overbearingly, big part of him that loved the thrill, enjoyed your frazzled expression. how you hurriedly opened the window, hair still an unbrushed mess, leaning against the windowsill with your hand outstretched for him to take.
"what are you waiting for?! take my hand and get inside before you hurt yourself!"
he taps a finger on his chin, pretending to think about your suggestion deeply. a grin threatened to break out of his face as he swayed on the branch, purposefully stepping on one that couldn't hold his weight, and watched as you sucked in a terrified breath. "hmm⌠what about, no!"
"'no?!'" you startingly asked, "are you asking for a death wish? that drop is going to hurt you!"
he places a hand over his heart, a slight jut to his lips as he dramatically plays the act of a wounded man. "ouch, do you think of me so weakâ"
"i think of you as stupid! now come on," you cut him off, bunching up the fabric of your sleepwear and leaning further out of the window. "get inside!"
"your grace, hold onâ"
"for the love ofâŚ! just come here!"
"you're going to fallâ!"
lohen can't even begin to imagine the expression on his face when your palm slipped from the windowsill. his body is moving faster than it ever has, adrenaline pumping into his veins as he leaps off the branch to wrap a secure arm over your shoulders, letting gravity pull him down as he uses his own body to shield yours from the impact.
"oh barbatosâŚ" he curses under his breath, feeling the wind in his lungs get knocked out of him.
"shitâŚ! are you okay?! come on, let me see if you hit your head."
"relax a little, your grace. i can take a little fallâ"
"that was not 'little' by any means!"
when lohen comes back to his senses, he thinks he is doomed.
your hand is cradling his jaw again, your brows furrowed, and your lips set in a deep frown. his fingers flex, his throat goes dry, and his entire being freezes over like a lake during a horrid snowstorm.
you weren't wearingâ
"what in the tsaritsa's name are you two doing?!"
lohen quickly sits up, taking you along with him. hands securely on your forearm while the other is wrapped around your waist. when he looks at you â really looks at you â there's a flush on your cheeks, and your mouth is agape. and when lohen slowly turns around, your mother is there, anger flaring in her eyes as your father and diluc rush out because of the noise.
he flashes her a strained smile, "duchess⌠good morning!"
"lohenâŚ" diluc pinches the bridge of his nose as he helps him up and gives him a pointed look. he only chuckles nervously, or as nervously as his system would allow him, before it's overridden entirely with a new emotion blooming in his chest. "are you alright, your grace?"
"i'm fine, thank you."
lohen quietly hums to himself as you're ushered inside, leaving him alone with your seething mother and unreadable father. you take one last glance at him over your shoulder, and he sees it again â that same miserable look in your eyes.
your father clears his throat, pulling his attention from you to him. "vice-captain lohen, i expect to receive a reasonable explanation."
he sighs again. he's in deep shit now.
dawn winery is as lohen expected: bathed in a deep crimson curtain, carrying the afterscent of crushed grapes, and a tense, almost foreboding atmosphere as he's taken up to diluc's office on the second floor.
your parents followed behind the young master wordlesslyâthe duke kept his hand on the small back of the duchess as she spewed out every known insult in her mother tongue. lohen sighed, a deep, irritated sound as he caught your eyes when he went up the stairs. the worry is almost misplaced, with your hands interwined with one another and clutched at your chest. it's not like lohen was going to war and will never make it out aliveâit's just another small scolding for his behaviour, something he's gotten used to since he joined the knights.
still.
lohen still flashed you a smile, praying it didn't come out depricating. he thought it might have worked when you finally eased your shoulders, reciprocating his own smile, though yours never quite reached the edge of your eyes.
he wondered in that moment what it would be likeâif you smiled freely without another worry.
"vice-captain," diluc called out, one hand held the door open as your parents entered first. the business tycoon only raised a brow when lohen sighed, his fingers brushed off any remaining dust on his uniform, and fixing his hair.
he may not be the picture-perfect knight you had imagined to marry, but he could at least try to play the part in front of your parents.
when lohen entered, he crossed his hands behind his back, straightening his posture and met the duchess's eyes with unyielding force. the older woman hid half of her face behind a golden fan, her eyes narrowed into a deep glare, and lohen caught the slightest of frowns on her face. it took everything in his willpower not to poke fun at her; she was still your mother after all. it didn't mean he held her in high regardânot after he overheard the way she spoke to you as if you were a child in the streets of mondstadt.
lohen may be a lot of things, but he did not meddle in others' affairs, and he never will.
"young master diluc, are you sure you won't change your mind? clearly, this vice-captain is ill-suited for my child!"
it didn't mean he can't feel angry on your behalf, too.
"your graceâ" diluc tried to argue. keyword: try. he couldn't even get a full sentence out as the duchess erupted into a flurry of reasons on why lohen shouldn't marry you.
"did you not see what happened earlier today?! who in their right mind would try to break into my child's room through the window! it's entirely improper, and downright incivil! my child has never wanted to marry the vice-captain in the firstâ"
"forgive my imprudence, your grace," lohen chimed in, a hand raised and that chilling smile on his face. his red eyes left the duchess to instead hold the duke's. clearly, he was more reasonable than his fury-striken wife. "but how can you be sure that the young heir doesn't want to marry me? have you asked?"
"lohen, your words," diluc warned, stepping in closer behind him.
"ask?!" the duchess exclaimed, her fan snapping shut as she pointed it accusingly at him.
lohen only smiled, his hand dropping to his side as he tilted his head. "yes, ask! you know, one of the crucial steps in understanding what the young heir wants? don't tell me you haven't asked a single thing?"
he knew he was entering treacherous lands. lohen could practically feel the hiss that diluc let out as his voice chirped into a higher toneâlacking the discipline of a knight and taking the form of a madman pointing mockery like a blade.
"with all due respect, duchess, i don't take you for the type to know your child at all!"
"lohen, enoughâ"
diluc's interventions go in one ear and out the other as he continued. the air turned icy as his hand tried to reach for the dagger hidden in his cape. the glare on the duchess's face remained directed at his smile. mocking, strained, and above all, knowing.
"your child doesn't trust you, do they, duchess?"
an echoing snap reverberated into the air as lohen's head flew to the side. the stinging followed, and then another harsh hit was directed at the opposite cheek. it wasn't the duchess's hand, but rather, her fan.
"duchess!" the man in red rushed in, his hand seizing the older woman's in his to stop another hit from landing on lohen's face.
"you vulgar, utterly uncivilized, monsterâ!"
"enough of this!"
if not for the duke's shouts, lohen was sure his wife wouldn't stop until his skull cracked open. cool, sticky blood dripped from the cut on his right cheek. he hissed when he dragged a finger on the open wound, but he kept his expression unreadable. a distinct contrast to the woman who stood before him, red in the face, and her hair coming undone from her outburst.
the duke looked to lohen, something akin to pity and a quiet apology swimming in his eyes. "vice-captain, i appreciate you wanting what's best for my childâ"
"i somehow doubt that," lohen whispered under his breath. he received a warning glare from diluc, who now stood behind him, as if he was daring the older couple to make another rash decision.
"but they are my heir. our family name holds great expectations, and we want their future partner to help ease that load."
lohen held his tongue. he's quite sure he'd receive another unforgiving hit to the face if he made another comment about his wife.
"with your reputation and your hunger for battle, we can't help but worry that my child will be put in dangerâ"
"your grace, i can assure you," lohen cuts off, feeling the iron grip of diluc's hand holding the one behind his back that prevented him from unsheathing his dagger. "i have no plans of putting anyone in danger."
the glare in lohen's eyes remained, jutting his chin up at the duke as his smile dropped. "i care not for what you've heard about me. you can call me a monster, a barbarian, or anything along those lines. but do not even assume that i will put an innocent life in danger. i am a knight, and for you to insinuate that i can't even keep my fiancĂŠ safe, well, it's rather offensive."
he broke free from diluc's grasp and turned his back on the couple, uncaring for the duchess's shouts for him to stop. he swung the door open and let it shut with a loud bang. the stray maids and workers in the hallway flinched at the noise, but lohen paid them no mind. not when you're waiting by the end of the corridor, that look in your eyes again when they fall to the cut on his cheek.
"your grace!" he chortled, hands immediately crossing behind him as he sauntered to stand in front of you. his finger twitched, tempted to ease that furrow of your brows and tease you about getting wrinkles. "we we're just wrapping things up. now, why don't you go change. i have a tour toâ"
"who hit you?"
lohen paused. his mouth hung open for a few seconds, no sound leaving his lips as he tried to come up with an answer you'll be satisfied with. he knew, thoughâhe knew that you already knew the answer and you're already taking the blame.
"vice-captain, i asked you a question." your tone changed. no longer as quiet, but it comes out as a whisperâas if you were asking him to confess a crime he had committed.
he only sighed, a hand coming to press on the wound. a poor attempt at hiding it when your own came to hold his wrist in place. your frown deepened, stepping closer to his face to inspect it.
"it's nothing i can't handle, your grace," he assured. "this is practically a papercut in comparison to what i'veâ"
"that's not my question. i'm asking you who dared to lay a hand on you."
"⌠oh!"
lohen internally grimaced. of all the things he could have said, he chose the lamest one. he tried to break away from your gaze, finding more interest in the swaying chandelier in the main entrance, but you stepped right into his line of view.
"lohen."
this was the first time you called him by his name, he thought.
"who did this to you?"
another sigh, and lohen yielded. his shoulders relaxed, practically slumping into your arms. he doesn't answer, not the one you wanted to hear anyway. but you only dragged him further into the manor, taking a sharp left and unlocking a door. you ushered him inside, and lohen can only limply follow.
he took in the interior of your temporary roomâstill dominated by the color of red, a bit of gold, and a few pieces of parchment on your bedside drawer. he stood in the middle of it all, unsure if sitting on the foot of your bed would be too casual, rude, but you beat him to it by dragging the chair of your vanity.
"sit," you ordered, lohen followed without another word.
you worked quietly to patch his wound. he noted that your vision lay ignored in a wooden box to your right as you dabbed a cloth to his cheek, while your hand held the other to keep in place. you'd apologize quietly when lohen winced, and he'd only assure you with a playful grin that he could handle the pain.
"say," he started, eyes landing on the dendro vision on your bed. "why not use your vision like you did last time?"
"i can't," was your only reply.
lohen tilted his head in curiosity, to which you reprimanded him for. he only chuckled out an apology as the question lay heavily on the tip of his tongue. he noticed, of course, your faces were mere inches apart. if he leaned just a little closer, he was sure your lips would ghost over his. he wondered what it would feel like? lohen wasn't one for romanceâbarbatos forbid if he picked up those cheesy romance novels from inazuma his team would indulge themselves in.
but still, he can't help but be engrossed in the idea of it. you're his fiancĂŠ, he'd have to kiss you at the wedding. the idea douses him in a fluster, making him cough as you worriedly ask if he's alright. he waved you off, another chuckle leaving his lips as he lets you tend to his wound with utmost care.
the thought came back, a little quieter this time. your hands were gentleâsoftly wiping away the blood and placing a bandage over the wound. you eventually tilted his head to the side, and a frown settled on your face as you saw how red it truly is. it was unlike anything he's ever felt before. there was no sharpening of arrowheads or harsh training regimes. it was quiet, not like a night spent hiding behind the curtains of a ransacked carriage, but the kind when a storm had finally settled, and you can finally open the window and greet the sun.
"is it because of her? your mother?" lohen sneered, his eyes held yours in a locked stance. "is that why you can't use your vision?"
you only shook your head, "it's not importantâ"
"but it is," he insisted, a gloved hand held you in place before you could even take a step back. "it is importantâto me. i am your fiancĂŠ, and it's my job to know what's bothering you."
you stared at him, your mouth opening and closing as you mull over his words. mincing every little shift of his expression, but lohen remained steady in his proclamation. you quietly sat on the edge of your bed, his red eyes not once leaving your figure as you reached for the vision, placing it on your lap.
a sigh escaped you. lohen felt your palm lay flat on his unwounded cheek as the smell of dewdrops and soil invaded his senses. he realized then, as your fingertips glowed with a light green, that you were using it to heal the sharp pain on his face.
"do you think flowers can grow under the ice?"
"pardon?"
you flashed him a sad smile, retracting your hand as you returned the vision in its wooden box, snapping the lid shut and shoving it under your pillows.
"there's this story, one from my childhood that my mother would often tell me," you recounted, and lohen leaned forward, his arms braced on his thighs as he watched you. "the story tells the adventure of a gardener and his dying wife. there's no cure for her ailment, and her only wish is to see the flowers in their garden finally bloom. but they lived atop a snowy mountain where the sun is constantly behind the cloudsâno flower could survive its harsh climate."
you took a deep breath. "the gardener, determined to find a way to grant his wife's wish, ventured into the unknown in search of a flower that could withstand the snow. he eventually finds it, but comes home too late. his wife had already passed, and struck with grief, the man burned the flower he found. when it was time to bury her, he realized grimly that there were flowers in their gardenâhidden beneath mountains of snow."
"then flowers can grow under the ice," lohen noted.
you only shook your head, "it's not about the flowers, vice-captain."
"then what is it about?"
"the moral of the story is that, when under harsh circumstances, love pushes you to ignore the things that matter."
he frowned. "so, the garden never mattered?"
"it didn't, not as much as his wife did," you correct forlornly. "love cannot take root under such harsh conditions, but it's still love nonetheless."
his tongue prodded against his cheek, eyes landing on the floor as his foot started tapping. his mind mulled over the fairytale until it all clicked. when he looked up, you're already looking at him, patiently waiting for him to catch up to what the real reason you've been forbidden to use your vision.
lohen only scoffed. "don't tell me you're calling that love."
you're wrong, the thought. if love cannot take root, then it can't be love.
it shouldn't have to struggle in harsh conditions to begin with.
the vice-captain only sighed, a hand coming to ruffle his hair as he stood. "okay, enough mopping. go change, i'll wait for you outside," he announced, already making his way to the door.
"hold on!" you tried to catch up to him but he's already out of the room. faintly, you heard him call out to you.
"oh, and bring your vision!"
the vice-captain told you he'd be taking you on a tour around mondstadt, and he did. well, only in one area in particular.
"vice-captainâ"
"lohen."
you stared at the back of his head, burning holes as he held your hand and practically dragged you across the fields of dorman port. he hasn't once turned to look back at you unless it's to catch you when you stumble on uneven ground, or when you tug at his hand to stop and greet the villagers.
"lohen," you tried again, and this time, he hummed. "where exactly are you taking me?"
"it's a secret," he quipped, and you let out an exasperated breath.
"are we even allowed to be here?"
he chuckled at your words, "relax, your grace. i am the vice-captain for a reason. if we get in trouble, i'll handle it."
"i'd prefer if we didn't get into any trouble at all."
"well, a little trouble won't hurt anyone."
you raised an amused brow at him when he finally turned around, catching your gaze with equal mirth in his eyes. "it can land a fan on the cheek, apparently."
lohen blinked at you, stopping dead in his tracks, and you fear you may have overstepped. but much to your shock, lohen leaned closer to your face, his head tilted to the side in glee.
"so you can take a joke. good to know!"
you let out an offended sound as he lohen returned to dragging you to archon knows where. "and what is that supposed to mean?!"
"nothing!" he shrugged off.
"it clearly does."
"and i'm telling you, your grace, it means absolutely nothing."
another exasperated sigh escaped you before finally giving up on questioning the man. he had no intentions of answering you directly or telling you where you're going. with a shake of your head, you turned your gaze away from him and to the setting sun in the horizon. there are beds of wild grass and flowers as you walk further and further away from the main city.
"i used to practice archery around here," lohen suddenly spoke. he stopped and you bumped into his back. with a quick apology, he gently guided you to look at where his eyes had landed. "i would watch my dad set up the targets, and he'd spend the entire day shooting them down only to set them back up. pretty boring routine, if you ask me."
you remained quiet behind him, not making any effort to follow him as he crossed the small river in front of you. but still, he continued his story.
"he never let me practice, that's why i never fought back that night," lohen turned back to you, his hand outstretched, waiting for you to take. you had a faint idea of what he was referring to. rumours travel fast, especially if it's about a grim tragedy that involved your fiancĂŠ's involvement in a kidnapping case years ago. "after that, i'd sneak out to train. fight a few hillichurls here and there. and then slip back into my room so my mom wouldn't realize."
he noticed your hesitation, so lohen stood in the river, letting his boots be soaked in cold water, his hand still outstretched. "you asked me if flowers could bloom under ice this morning. it reminded me of how my mom would always plant flowers in our backyard when i was a kid. my old man would call them a waste of time, and she got so mad, she hid his bow and all the arrows, forcing him to work on the garden with her."
a chuckle escaped him; his eyes stared distantly at his own reflection on the water. he only raised his head when another pair of shoes stood right across from his, and his reflection rippled to replace it with yours.
"can i ask you a question, your grace?" he asked, barely above a whisper.
you only nodded, and you felt his hand tighten around yours as he took a deep breath.
"can a flower bloom if it's unloved?"
you stared at him in shock, brows furrowed as you questioned, "what do you mean?"
"don't pretend, your grace," lohen bellowed. "i'm starting to wonder if you're even allowed to do anything under your mother's scrutinizing gaze. does she even love you?"
a flash of hurt swam in your eyes as you abruptly pried your hand out of his grasp. but lohen was faster, seizing your wrist before you can turn away from him and run where he couldn't follow. "forgive my imprudence, i seem to be doing that a lot nowadays, but i can't sit idly and let you accept this."
"why do you care?" you seethed out, shoulders shaking.
"i'm your fiancĂŠâ"
"on paper, vice-captain. we are expected by everyone to be married."
"but do you want to?"
lohen turned you around, his hands came up to hold you by your shoulders as his presence demanded you to meet his gaze. he didn't glare, not reallyânot at you. but his jaw is locked, his shoulders are squared. as if he's waiting for some monster to hit him on the back when he least expects it.
he repeated the question, "do you want to, your grace? do you want to get married to me?"
"why so suddenly?" you asked in bewilderment, ears ringing with each ragged breath he took.
"because i refuse to be like them. you deserve to choose what you think is best for you," lohen mumbled, his grip on you loosening as his eyes fell to where your shoes are both soaked. "i refuse to take away something that was yours to begin withâyour ability to choose. so answer me: do you or do you not want to marry me?"
it sounded like a pained plea, as if lohen was already stricken with a deadly blow and was bleeding out in your arms at this very moment. he very well may be just that, with the way his lips are tugged into a deep frown, or how his voice came out shaky, lacking that recklessness you've come to associate him with.
"say something, your grace. you're killing me here."
your mind is telling you no. no, you don't want to get married, not to him, not to anyone. but your heartâthat traitorous little thingâhad taken reign of your emotions as you continued to look into lohen's eyes.
you looked back to the night you met himâall spunk and blood and flowers. flowers you've kept safe from your mother's hands by hiding them behind your clothes in the closet. you remembered the maids of dawn winery helping you slip into a spare room to overhear the conversation in diluc's office, uncaring of how improper you had looked as curiosity took over. you recalled the flush in your cheeks as lohen defended your honor vehemently against the person who made it her job to break you down in pieces.
lohen stood still in that room, going against all instincts that told him to fight backâall for your sake.
and now, he's taken you hereâto where he grew up and told you a story of his ownâto give you something no one has ever offered you.
a choice.
your mouth moved before you can fully catch up.
"i do."
you relished it, you thought to yourself, the way lohen's head snapped up at your voice and how his cheeks immediately flushed.
"y-you⌠do?" he sounded meek, so unlike the brave vice-captain who moved before danger could take a step in their direction. your selfish heart can't help but want all that to yourselfâthat vice-captain who would blush, and stutter, and give you a choice.
"yes, i do," you decided then and there, that everyone was wrong about him. you flashed him a smile, hands reaching up to brush the hair that shielded his eyes from your view. that rush of delight came back when lohen straightened his back, a curled fist hiding half of his face as he fumbled out a reply.
"⌠okay. okay! that settles it then!"
you don't point out that he's rambling, or how that blush on his face never really cooled down. he'd tug at his collar, look at anywhere but you, and when he caught it, lohen would quickly duck with a clear of his throat. a quiet laugh left your chest as you look down at your handsâyou don't even recall when his fingers had intertwined with yours.
"we⌠we should go back," you uttered, eyes watching the sun dip over the horizon until you can barely see it. "they might be wondering where we are."
lohen nodded stiffly, clearing his throat one last time. "you're rightâŚ"
you only hummed as you both began the journey back to dawn winery. it would take a while, but you didn't mind. every now and then, you'd try to catch a glimpse of lohen, who would always look away when your eyes locked. and each time, you'd laugh under your breath. it felt strangeâto see this fighter, known for his unmatched desire for danger, be so shy. it almost felt unreal.
a shiver racked up your arms as a chilly breeze came to greet you. by the time you had fully left dorman port, the sun had fully set. in the distance, you both could hear the gallops of horses. when you met lohen's gaze, who was already looking at you, you both share another laugh.
"i suppose they've come to get us," you surmized.
lohen only hummed, his fingers unclasped the cape on his shoulder and draped it across yours. "i guess so. it has gotten pretty late."
"lohen, iâ" before you could finish, a familiar boisterous voice interrupted you.
"there you are, your grace, lohen!" varka trutted in on his stallion, a wide grin on his face as a lantern is held in his grasp.
"of course it's the grandmaster," lohen grumbled under his breath, to which you chuckled.
"i'd be more surprised if it wasn't him," you murmured back, waving your hand to notify the gradnmaster that you've heard him.
varka quickly left his horse and jogged up to you, his blue eyes surveying your form wrapped in lohen's coat. his gaze eventually settled on the vice-captain, a smirk on his face as he called for the other nights to hurry.
you're eventually escorted onto the back of a carriage as lohen conversed with the grandmaster. you faintly heard the rise in his voice, and when you looked in their direction, an amused smile made its way to your face as a fervent blush overtook his pale cheeks. he eventually stomped his way to your carriage, freezing in the motion of lifting the curtains to find you staring at him with mirth in your eyes.
he glared at you, but it only spurred you to laugh louder.
"taking the grandmaster's side now, are we?" he hissed with a roll of his eyes.
"it wasn't my intention to eavesdrop," you admit. but lohen only rolled his eyes again, playfully pushing you further into the carriage to make room for him. you raised a brow in question when he settles right beside you, "don't you have your own stallion?"
he dramatically clutched at his chest, "so you don't want me here?"
"that's not what i meant!" you argued back, but it barely registers when you're a giggling mess.
"no, no, i understand," he's already trying to get up with a pained sigh. "i'll ride on my horse, let my back be in pain until we reach the city, while you stay here."
"lohen," you whined out, a smile on your lips as you caught the edge of his sleeve. a playful grin on your face as you lowered your voice to a whisper, "won't you stay and keep me warm?"
the reaction is immediate. his cheeks erupt into another blush, his voice breaking as he stammered out a reply. you don't hear any of itânot like his words made any senseâand tugged him down to sit again. this time, you took the initiative to slip your fingers into his. relishing in the way his pulse jumped when your brush against his pulse point.
"you're making fun of me," lohen huffed, his lips ghosting just the crown of your head. you don't hide the smile on your faceânot when you felt him lean back and the carriage finally be set in motion.
you scoot closer to him, looping your arm in his as you only hummed. your other hand tugged his cape closer to you, letting yourself be wrapped entirely in him. lohen hesitantly raised an arm to fix the cape before it settled across your shoulders.
"i'm not," you retorted.
he only chuckled, his arm tugging you closer until your head lay on his chest. "sure, whatever you say, your grace."

Ren Amamiya x Fem! Reader
⯠Spring Rain - Oscar Dunbar
Synopsis: You find Morgana in the rain, not knowing that his owner is the cute boy you've had a crush on. You bring him to your apartment, and with nothing much to do, you confide in the little cat about your feelings towards Ren, surely he won't tell on you since he can't talk, right?
Genre: fluffy fluff
Cw: Morgana being a devil. Mutual pining. Ren usage. Mentions of being sick. I fear I failed to capture Ren's nonchalantness. I also fear I might have rushed the ending a bit.
Wc: 3.2k
You were walking along the flooded alleyway. Each step carefully splashing against your stockings with every puddle you come across.
Your jacket was draped over your school bag, walking home in the rain would've been fine if you had an umbrella. Your entire body was drenched with rain water. The fog from the rain were surrounding your ankles, despite the winter uniform you were wearing, you were freezing.
Shivering with every step, you cover your bag with your body, not wanting the electronics in it to get any water damage.
You felt the rain grow harder on the ground, the wind flowing harsher against your hair, your jacket was flinging around, you were for sure getting sick tomorrow.
You looked around, searching for a building you could run into until the rain stopped. You eventually run into an alleyway, hoping the tarp between the two buildings were strong enough to handle the rain. Said buildings were locked, under construction.
You stood on the minimal space where it was dry. Rainwater dripping from your hair and clothes, right onto the floor. Your hands ran through your hair, brushing it out of your face.
A loud crash of thunder echoed throughout the sky above you, bouncing on each wall. The sound made you stumble back in surprise, the heels of your feet bumping into the boxes behind you. Before your could catch yourself, your back clashed with the dusty cardboard with a bang.
Sitting up, rubbing your soaked back.
You heard a soft noise, head whipping back so fast. Maybe it was a woosh, perhaps the rain?
Not quite. It was a meow.
A loud meow, frantic and shocked. You could make out that it was coming from beside you, buried deep within the scattered boxes. Quickly, your feet startled up, supporting yourself with an arm on the pile.
Standing up, you looked over and peeked through the cracks of the boxes. They were barely covered by the tarp. Your hands slowly moving the beige papers apart. Eyes squinting through the darkening sky.
Before you could reach your arm in, a small, black and white cat jumped out straight into your arms, claws extracting, digging deep into your stomach through your uniform, desperately clinging to the white blouse.
"Woah!" You yelled out, stumbling backwards, hands instinctively shooting up to catch him by his small torso. Hissing at the way the water on your uniform stung into the claw marks.
Landing on your back, you try to steady yourself, pressing your palms flat on the ground. Tightening your grip on the small creature's body. Catching your breath, you sat up, carrying his weight between your hands.
"Oh, you silly cat.." you sighed out, earning an angry meow in response, you were shivering on the dirty concrete floor. Small patters of rain hitting your face. That didn't bother you too much though, the only thing clouding your mind was how sick you were going to be tomorrow.
You were so deep in thought, you couldn't hear the footsteps behind you. Not until the small bits of rain seemed to stop, by the umbrella right over you. You looked up, face meeting directly with someone all to familiar with you.
Ren Amamiya, the cute boy in your class.
He's a bit weird, glasses always fogged up too easily, hair always messy and disheveled. The smart boy in your class that seemed to know every answer the teacher would throw at him. The boy everyone rumoured to be a delinquent.
The first few days you've seen him, you heard the rumours, the reports that he had beaten someone up when he was still living in his small country town.
A part of you believed in those whispers, the way he was quiet, silently watching, barely saying anything ever. You saw him hanging out with another known delinquent on his first day, you saw him arguing with Kamoshida during his second week.
You started to talk to him after Kamoshida admitted to all the horrific things he had done. You caught him looking at his bag, as if he was listening to it. A bit weird, but whatever.
You tapped him on his shoulder, s very startled look on his face when he jumped on the spot and turned back to you. You asked him, asked him about what happened since, you heard Kamoshida give him a suspension. You didn't accuse him of anything, god forbid you add onto the many dirty rumours about that was most definitely having a negative effect on him.
You only asked if he was okay.
That was a few months ago, right now, he was looking for Morgana, that titchy cat was running around all over the place. He completely forgot about him though, eyes only focusing on your figure running into the alleyway. He made his way, umbrella clutched in his hand, speeding up a bit after the clattering sounds rang throughout his ears.
He peeked through the wall, seeing your figure on the floor, trembling, next to you, was that annoying, black and white cat that ran away hours ago. He groaned in frustration. Before making his way to you. Hovering his umbrella right above your head, he looks down to your sitting form, eyes meeting yours.
You give him a smile, sheepish and awkward, eyebrows lacing together in embarrassment as you felt your face heat up from the situation you were in right now; drenched from the rain, you probably looked insanely weird right now.
For a while, the both of you just looked at each other, breaths forming into a fog out of your nose, you could still feel the coldness surrounding you, but it somehow didn't hurt like it should. Almost like Ren's smile was enough to warm you up. Insanely cliche, but, true nonetheless.
You raised your hand, palms open, reaching for him, "help me up" you said with a smile. His lips form a returning one, before grabbing your hand and pulling you up. You stumbled a bit, reaching forward to grasp on his shoulders. Steadying yourself, ignoring the heavy thump thump thumps deep inside your chest.
An angry meow snapped the both of you back out of each other's gaze. His neck snapped towards the cat on the floor, glaring straight at the glasses wearing boy, as if they were having a mental arguement.
You looked between the two of them, wondering if Ren disliked cats. He didn't look like a dog person, if anything, he was the most cat person you've ever met.
You reached down, picking up the blue eyed cat. Earning a startled mewl from him. Gripping his small body, cuddling him closer to your chest.
"Be careful," he tells you casually, eyes still glaring at the feline creature in your arms. "He might have fleas." A twitch of a smirk briefly flickered on his face. Subverting his gaze to yours.
"I don't think so." You look down at the cat, who was reaching his arms out to Ren, claws out and feet flailing. "He looks clean, and well-groomed." The cat meowed in satisfaction, switching from struggling out of your grasp to rub his head to your chest and further snuggling up into you.
"Where are you headed?"He asked you, ignoring the jealousy bubbling up in his chest from how close that freaking cat was with you.
"Uhm.. I'm just waiting out until the rain stops." You chuckle awkwardly, earning a playful sigh in response. "You're going to get sick."
"I probably already am." You laughed out, coughing mid-sentence further emphasising your point.
"Let me walk you home." He reaches out to hand you your forgotten school bag that was on the floor. Wrapping your drenched jacket on his other arm. You quickly stop him, well, you try to.
"You don't have to, I'll hold it." You insist, trying to reach for your jacket. Not wanting to bother him further than you already were. Not to mention you were still holding the cat that he (probably?) hates.
"It's okay." He reassures you, squeezing out the rainwater that's been soaking through your jacket for the past thirty minutes. Water dripping down with harsh splatters on the concrete ground.
"Let me help you out." He smiles. The light in his eyes practically reflecting from his glasses.
The walk to your apartment wasn't as long as you had hoped it was. You tried walking slowly, wanting to spend more time talking with the man closely beside you. The distance (or lack thereof) making you fumble in your words every so often.
You didn't forget about the cat in your arms either, the occasional meow and small licks to your hand would resound from him. Though, sometimes while Ren would be talking, he'd earn a meow, usually a loud one. Ren responding with his witty quips, he'd speak to you, but it was clearly directed to the cat by your chest. It was, strange, to say the least.
"Do you.. know this cat?" You couldn't help but ask, the amount of passive aggression directed towards the cute cat was odd. Much like an owner with their pet of ten years.
"He likes to bother me whenever I'm in LeBlanc." He says, looking straight ahead, ignoring the angry grunts from the creature in your arms. You nodded, hands absentmindedly scratching his small head.
"I call him Morgana, by the way." He's still walking, hand tilting the umbrella further down your side, effectively covering you more than he was.
"Morgana.." you repeated, before chuckling lightly to yourself, "what an interesting name, how'd you come up with it?"
"It sorta just came to me."
Before you knew it, you were already by the front door of your apartment. Fumbling with your keys for a bit, trying to find an excuse to get him to come inside. Ultimately you tried to tell him that he should just wait out the rain, besides, he had a cat to take care of.
You tossed your bag to the floor, directing Ren to leave your jacket on your bathtub to let it dry.
"I'd stay if Sojiro wasn't so strict on my curfews." He said in annoyance. You knew about Sojiro, he's the tired old guy that owns the cafe Ren stayed at. You wondered if he knew about the cat at all.
"He doesn't"
Oops, maybe you said that one out loud. You nodded in response.
".. Do you mind if you took care of him for a while?" He asks you, you paused for a second, glancing at him over your shoulder. He was trusting you with such a thing?
"Sure, but.." you trailed off, unsure how to word it, you weren't that close with him. Taking care of (his) cat is a bit.. intimate. Something that really close friends do. Much like his blonde friends.
"Do you trust me with him?" Such a weird way to phrase it. He only smiled at you, how he didn't look at you weirdly was a miracle. You could've said it in a better way but the sentiment remains. He trusts you.
"I'll get going." He tells you before making his way to your front door. You noticed how Morgana stayed perched on top of your kitchen counter, glaring daggers at Ren while he narrows his eyes in annoyance.
Ren glanced back at you, offering a "see you on Monday." His eyes flicker to Morgana's after he let out a meow. As if he could understand the little cat. Very silly.
You waved him goodbye, leaving you with the cat that was slowly making his way to you, jumping on each each chair like a makeshift path to you.
You let out your hand, letting him snuggle up between your fingers. You let him do his thing, making him comfortable. Before straightening up on your spot, grabbing him by his torso once again. Lifting him up arms length in front of you.
"You need a bath." He looked at you, offended it seems. He made a noise in protest as you made your way to the bathroom.
"Is it true that cats hate water?" You murmured, mostly to yourself. "Well, I've never seen a cat in water, so.." you're not sure if you were talking to yourself or to the cat. Perhaps both.
You took a small bucket from the cabinet underneath your sink, placing it in your bathtub and filling it up halfway with water. All the while Morgana was looking up at you, as if he was listening to what you had to say.
"Did he get you the bandana too?" You referred to the yellow bandana tied around his neck. You're not sure how well the yellow matched with his vibrant blue eyes-- which admittedly, you've never seen in a cat-- had matched with each other. It was very unique, to say the least. Almost like it his signature colour.
You grab him again, slowly lowering him inside the bucket or water. You scooped the water onto his back, rubbing gently.
"Ren looks at you like he understands you." Not sure what warranted that. Morgana seemed to think the same, his head whipping from observing your bathroom to your face. "He looks at me like he understands me, too." You smile softly to yourself.
He's helped you more than once, whether it be from Kamoshida's advances, or from Kawakami's judgemental stares from how you were hanging out with not one, but two delinquents. Or when you started hanging out with his entire group of so-called 'misfits.'
You were one of them, obviously. A misfit, as people would call it. You've been frequently let down by the many adults around you, by the system, by society, by almost everyone. 'Grateful' isn't even close enough of a word to express your feelings towards Ren, for understanding you, for looking through your past and knowing you for you.
Much like you've done with him, the many rumours surrounding him, the whispers, you didn't pay attention to them. Since you decided to get to know him; figure out his personality for himself.
"Ren's a cute guy, I wonder how he came to domesticate you." Perhaps the cat was also another misunderstood fella Ren had just decided to befriend. "I guess he didn't really domesticate you, you just kinda stuck around, huh?"
Speaking of, Morgana was just looking at you expectingly throughout your rambling. Head tilted to the side, while he closes his eyes each time you gently scrub the fur on his head. Maybe he was listening, or maybe he just looked at everyone like that.
"I wish I could help him out, y'know? It seems like he's going through a lot." This earned a meow from the cat below you, like he was agreeing with you. Your movements slow down, deep in thought.
"I'll let you in on a secret." You say playfully, words coming out of your mouth before you thought too much about it. "I kinda like that guy." Your lips twitch into a smirk, grabbing a sponge and scrubbing his small figure.
He looks up at you almost to quickly, ears now perking up, "woah!" You laugh out, "I guess cats do understand people after all." A purr echoed from the back of his throat as his eyes close.
You sighed, finding yourself so weirdly pathetic for confiding in a cat about your feelings for his... owner? Friend? Whatever Ren was to the cat, you have feelings for him.
"He's just so mysterious." You exclaim with another laugh, as if you were a teenager gossiping with her friends at the playground. "But he's also really caring, it's like I've known him for a while. It's a shame that he probably doesn't feel the same." You let out a pitiful laugh.
You pick him up again, out of the bucket of water and onto the rug. Grabbing a fresh towel, rubbing up and down his little cat body. Drying him off, you cradle him in your arms, grabbing his face with both of your hands and squeezing slightly. He just looks so cute!
Making your way to the couch, you placed him on the cushions, to which he immediately drops down to the floor and shakes his body. You go to your kitchen, looking through your cabinets, looking for something cat-friendly.
There's someone as sweet as her actually likes Ren Morgana wonders, observing you search around the kitchen. Oh how he wishes you could understand him, there are so many questions for you. Why do you like Ren? What has he done? He isn't even that charming.
And sure, maybe he's a just a bit pissy because Ren took the attention of Lady Ann, but that's neither here nor there.
At least he has something to tease him about.
The rest of the night consisted of you feeding him (after googling foods that are safe for cats to eat), ending the night with him snuggled up between your arms, falling into a deep slumber.
The weekend had passed. Morgana had left your apartment and made his way back to Cafe LeBlanc. Your chest felt lighter after ranting to the poor cat, you had been avoiding any realisation of your feelings for Ren, not having anyone to tell. You were glad you let it out.
Though today felt like... Ren was treating you different. Not bad different, quite the opposite in fact. It was anything you've ever wanted. He was initiating conversations with you, holding your gaze whenever you'd accidentally make eye contact with him. He was more touchy too, maybe on accident, maybe not. Hands brushing yours whenever he found himself standing right next to you.
"Hey" he approached you after school, you were standing in front of your locker, changing out your shoes. You look up at him, noticing the way there was a slight pink on his face.
"Let's grab something to eat." He says before you could greet him back. You stare at him for a while, brain stuttering, unsure what to say. You only nodded, in fear of saying something wrong.
He smiles at you, lending out a hand, helping you carry your school bag. He nudges his head toward the exit. You walked next to him, close enough you could hold his hand.
"Morgana got home cleaner than he usually was." He started. "Thanks for taking care of him."
You smile, waving him off, "don't worry about it, he's a nice cat."
He laughs at your statement, yeah right.
"And..." he stops right next to you, facing you, the pink tint never fading from his face.
"Thanks for helping me out."
Help him out.. where have you heard that before?
"Of course, I feel like you understand me, y'know?" Your cheeks might as well match his, with how flustered you were. You wondered, where did this side of him suddenly come from?
"I'd love to get to know you even more." His words made your heart stutter.
"Really? Why so sudden?" You laugh nervously.
"Well.. it's simple really," he's impossibly closer to you now. Obviously he won't let you know that the second Morgana returned home, he spilled all the beans about what you told him. All giggly and teasing.
"She thinks you won't return her feelings." He told him, and, well, Ren couldn't have you think like that
summary: it's been a few days since lohen nearly got himself killed fighting rerir, and he's still under your care â convalescing, clingy, and shamelessly milking every second of it.
topics: lohen is down really bad, nsfw (morning & sleepy sex, vaginal penetration, a little bit of voyeurism i think), lightkeeper&medic!reader

english is not my first language. please correct me if i got something wrong, thank you!
A few days had passed since Lohen had been seriously beaten up by his fight with Rerir, and you had to admit he had never frustrated you and impressed you more than he did that day.
You happened to be stationed at the camp that time, filling in for a colleague from your unit. You didn't mind it, and it seemed like it was shaping up to be a genuinely peaceful day.
And then evening came, and Varka ran into the medical tent with Lohen on his back. Given how bloodsoaked Varka's clothes were, you were certain he was the injured one â until he laid the vice-captain down on the bed.
His condition was terrifying.
Had it not been for the fact that Lohen somehow still had his eyes open, his lips curving into a smile at the sight of you, you would have been certain you were only looking at his corpse. A moment later he naturally allowed himself to faint, now that he was aware he no longer had to try, because you would take care of him and keep him alive.
It took you the entire night to stabilize his condition. As an experienced and skilled medic, you had dealt with similar cases many times before, and even though you had been in a relationship with Lohen for some time now, you had managed to keep your emotions in check throughout. You knew that this damn idiot would live, because people like him always had luck on their side â but when, near dawn, another one of his wounds reopened, you could no longer hold back tears of frustration.
That was when Lohen woke up too. "I've died, haven't I? That's why I'm seeing an angel."
The tears of frustration turned into irritation, which you poured entirely onto Lohen for being reckless and irresponsible. You were so swollen inside with your own feelings, stress, and exhaustion that in the midst of it all, you didn't notice the expression on his face. This time he wasn't hiding his true emotions.
He knew perfectly well that he had failed: he had been too weak. He was a weak, insufficiently strong mortal. He had nearly gotten himself killed, and if not for Varka â and yet he had the audacity to claim he would be able to protect you?
But despite how absurdly furious you were with him, you were still incredibly proud of him. Surviving a clash with such a powerful anomaly and on top of that remaining conscious through kilometres of Varka's marathon with him on his back was already an enormous achievement. Most knights â or even Lightkeepers â wouldn't last even a minute on that battlefield.
Lohen listened to this with wide eyes while you wiped yours, tears still streaming down your face. He had expected everything: that you'd curse him out, call him a stupid, mindless idiot, that you might even break up with him. And while a genuinely unkind string of words did leave your mouth, he never would have thought you'd tell him that it wasn't luck that he survived.
Luck was for inexperienced, average knights. You, Lohen, are stubbornly and genuinely strong. If you had walked this earth as long as Varka, you would match him without hesitation. Doesnât change the fact that youâre absolutely fucking idiot.
After those words, Lohen pretended to faint again, and you sighed, calmed yourself, stitched his wound closed once more, and then, completely spent, carefully lay down at his side in a way that wouldn't accidentally hurt him. You finally fell asleep, leaving him completely undone by your words.
While Lohen had already known before that you weren't going to let him go, he was now certain he had to somehow ensure that even after death, you would never know a moment's peace from him. Never again.
Tonight you were, of course, sleeping beside him again. Lohen hadn't even needed to push you into it (though he had been prepared to) because his condition was still poor and required constant monitoring. And for some reason he had become terribly clingy, so you'd had to temporarily abandon your duties â for which Varka had to pay Starshyna two of his knights to compensate for your absence from the team â in order to look after him. He was like a sick child who needed attention and comfort at every turn.
"OhâFuck," Lohen groaned quietly, waking from a very intense dream.
Dawn was nearly breaking when Lohen felt a painful erection straining against his trousers. Although his entire body ached, his libido, rather than dropping, had surged sharply â and the worst part was that he knew perfectly well why. He desired you more than usual after your recent words. You had appreciated him. You had unknowingly comforted him in the worst possible state he'd ever been in mentally. Now he needed to properly fuck you for it, or he felt like he'd die if he didn't do it soon.
For the past few nights he had somehow managed to restrain himself due to his limbs being non-functional, but today he felt significantly better. Before you had fallen asleep you had noticed that too â by the way he had wrapped his arm around you and pulled you close against him in the night.
Through a gap in the tent he could see that there was still enough time to deal with his peculiar problem, so without hesitation he got to work, slowly kissing along the back of your neck.
God, he really had missed being fully functional. The pathetic rubbing against your backside and breathing in your scent as he left damp kisses along your neck made him tremble with arousal. He needed you so badly, so desperately needed you, that he didn't even notice his grip becoming more and more possessive. It even briefly crossed his mind that if he had died that day, he would have resurrected solely to kill anyone who dared comfort you in his absence or try to take care of you. You were his and his alone â he would never let you go.
A soft, tender bite to your earlobe had your eyes fluttering open, drowsiness washing over you. For a moment you were certain you were still dreaming â until you felt a warm vibration against your ear.
"Good morning, nightingale," Lohen whispered, his left hand travelling from your waist to your thighs until it slipped beneath your nightgown. You let out a small squeak as your warm skin met his ice-cold fingers.
"Lohen, what the hell," you mumbled, flustered, immediately flushing. It wasn't the first time Lohen had shamelessly made a move on you, and you had no objections to it in principle â but not when the camp would soon be waking up, and when there was still a considerable risk that his body would suffer for it. "Go back to sleep, for archons sake."
"Mm, I don't think so," he chuckled, then dragged his fingers low enough to slide along your folds. You grabbed his hand to stop him, but he only threaded his fingers through yours, using your own hand to touch you through the fabric of your underwear. You inhaled sharply, and that set him alight even further. "I need to fuck you, archons. Fuck, let me do it, please."
As he said it, you felt his hardness pressing against your backside, his face still buried in the curve of your neck. His warm breath and lazy, languid kisses against your skin sent shivers through you. You glanced toward the gap in the tent and swallowed, noticing the light growing outside.
It hadn't escaped you that Lohen had asked. Never â not once in your life together â had you heard the word please from his lips. His low, hoarse voice, dripping with quiet desperation, sent an electric jolt down your abdomen and straight to your core.
"L-Lohen, fuck, we can't," you answered, trying to stop his hand. He stilled, and you turned your face slightly toward him to look at him. And that, honestly, was a mistake. You had never seen him more aroused or more hungry-looking â his eyes were practically devouring you, and if not for the fact that he couldn't make any sudden movements, he most certainly would have been fucking you already. "Everyone's about to wake up, first of all. And second of all, your wounds could reopen. Do you have any idea how much work goes into stitching them back up?" you added, pressing your thighs together to steady yourself.
Lohen, however, wasn't listening to a single word of your speech, staring at your face as though it were a painting. Fuck, those sleepy eyes of yours could send him to war â you were so unbearably endearing when you were still half asleep.
"We still have a little time, darling," he murmured, amused, moving his hand to your hip. He winced slightly with pain â and pleasure â when you tried to gently push him back, but it only created a delicious friction (and pain from his still-unhealed ribs). "Don't make me suffer. Take care of your patient."
"Lohen, for archons sake, you have a broken arm, broken ribs, a sprained ankle, massive unhealed wounds, and â"
"And a perfectly healthy cock," he finished for you, grinning roguishly. You rolled your eyes, so he moved his hand along your hip to your cheek, turning your head further toward him to kiss you tenderly.
Lohen kissed you in a thousand different ways. From stealing quick pecks in public when no one was looking, just to annoy you, all the way to intense attempts to steal the breath from your lungs when you were completely alone. Every time he was infuriatingly insufferable about it â he loved tormenting you, loved sucking on your lips until they grew sensitive and then biting them, often until they bled. He loved, to your endless exasperation, pushing his tongue as deep into your mouth as possible, as though he meant to devour your soul or somehow leave his mark inside you permanently.
Sometimes he kissed you as though the world was ending tomorrow, and sometimes he drew out your kisses in such a languid, unhurried manner, as though you had all the time in the world within your blissful little universe.
This time it felt like something in between â and you felt it through your entire body. A shiver passed through you.
When he pulled away, a thin thread of saliva lingering between you, he pressed his forehead to yours and stroked your face with his thumb. "You don't even realize how badly I need you right now."
Fuck. In your entire life you had always been quite good at being assertive. You also knew very well that you should be refusing him right now.
But the moment he said those words, looking into your eyes as though you were the only person capable of saving him from whatever was happening right now, or in his head in general â even you couldn't say no to him.
"FuckâAlright," you said, at which he nearly lunged at you immediately, so you had to grab him by his choker to hold him in place. "But not here. Not like this. You'll reopen your wounds. We need toâ Archons, come on, I'll help you up."
You propped yourself up on your elbows and hauled yourself off the cot, which had only been serving as a makeshift bed anyway. It was genuinely a miracle it had held two people, but apparently you were both within the weight limit.
Lohen obediently accepted your arm to lean on. Only then did you notice the sheer size of the tent in his trousers, and you swallowed. Archons â what had gotten him like this? Because this didn't look like his usual morning erection that showed up from time to time.
With slow, careful steps you shuffled over to the desk. You sat him down in the chair, checking that everything was alright and that nothing was hurting him. Even if it was, he was evidently hiding it well enough â so you sighed and sank to your knees to untie the drawstring of his pyjama trousers. He threaded his good hand through your hair, watching you with devotion, and exhaled sharply when his aching cock finally sprang free from his underwear.
You wrapped your fingers around him and stroked slowly a few times, and when you were just about to take him into your mouth, Lohen tugged on your hair to pull you back.
"As much as I'd love that â I actually, truly need to feel you, nightingale," he muttered, and his tone sounded as though he were drunk. God, you were genuinely starting to worry about him, but you couldn't deny that you loved hearing him admit it so openly. He always tried to draw those admissions out of you instead, often through methods that left you voiceless. "Fuck, I'm going to die if you don't start riding me right now."
You were too confused and still too half-asleep to tease him about it. Instead you swallowed, stood up, pulled your underwear down and off, and stepped toward him. You braced one hand against the arm of the chair, and he pulled you down into a deep, passionate kiss as he slowly guided you to sink down onto him.
You moaned into his mouth when you felt the head of him brush against your clit. You broke the kiss.
"L-Lohen, if you notice anyone coming near, we need to stop immediately," you started, looking at him seriously while he smiled at you with that wicked glint of his. "And we go slow. No unnecessary movements on your end, understood?"
He nodded â just get on with it already. He slid his hand beneath your nightgown and closed his fingers around your waist, and you took hold of the base of him and sank down, painstakingly slowly, until you felt all of him inside you.
You both breathed sharply into each other's mouths. Lohen didn't look away from your eyes for even a second, staring into them with an intense, consuming focus. You could have sworn he was already trembling, as though he were close â which made you hide your face shyly in the curve of his neck and wrap your arms around his. That sudden shyness of yours, and most likely the fear of being caught, only fuelled him further.
He nearly thrust his hips to set a proper pace, when your hand came down to his chest to hold him in place. He understood the message, so he tipped his head back against the chair and exhaled roughly as you set your own slow, sleepy rhythm.
"Fuck. You're going to kill me, sweetheart," he whispered.
Lohen's body was usually terribly cold â this time, though, you felt almost scorching heat radiating off his skin. You couldn't help it that your eyelids began to droop against his neck, desperately chasing after the last scraps of the sleep he had brutally stolen from you earlier. Still, you kept enough focus in your movements not to hurt him.
For Lohen, however, it was nothing short of torture. He genuinely, truly needed to drive into you as deep and as hard as he possibly could. He couldn't hold back the quiet, pained but deeply erotic sounds falling from his lips into your hair as you rode him like you were punishing him for something.
To find even a little relief, his fingers found your waist again â this time closing around the fabric of your nightgown rather than your skin, so as not to grip you too hard. He sensed that might read to you as a signal that something was wrong, and he absolutely did not want you to stop. The camp could come under attack right now and he still wouldn't pull himself out of your tight warmth. Not for anything.
"Haâfuck, you feel too fucking good. You're taking me so well. I missed you so fucking much, nightingale," he said, almost deliriously.
He'd had relationships in his life, of course. And he liked sex. But he had never felt this matched with anyone the way he did with you. You awakened something animal in him â his libido had grown considerably since you had met, which was already absurd, and now it had somehow climbed even higher â and he simply could not keep his hands off you whenever he had the chance. You fucked like rabbits, and archons, Lohen had no idea how he had ever lived without you.
Thinking about it now, swallowed up by your wet, clenching walls, he thought he might have actually killed himself if you had rejected him that day. Not only had you thoroughly scrambled his mind to the point where he couldn't stop thinking about you â his body needed you the way someone needs something they've become addicted to. The thought that there could exist some reality in which he had tasted you and then lost you filled him with a sick, hollow dread.
He felt you quicken, as though you wanted to fuck those thoughts right out of him. In any other circumstances, being the masochist he was, he would have been absolutely beside himself with your pace. This was, technically, gentle sex â or at least it was supposed to be â and yet, purely because of his sexual frustration, he was whimpering and whining as though you were taking his virginity.
He helped you along a little with his hand, allowing for slightly deeper movements. You moaned against his collarbone, tightening your fingers on his neck and shoulder. Lohen growled low in his throat, feeling himself slowly approaching the edge â it was almost embarrassing, it had never happened to him this fast before.
"F-fuck, I'm close," he muttered, sounding completely delirious by now â which made you shudder, and with trembling, already-tired hips you gathered the last of your strength and pressed down harder, still maintaining that slow, sweet, sleepy rhythm. He groaned, feeling an overwhelming urge to sink his teeth into your neck to muffle the pathetic sounds coming out of his mouth. "I cannot f-fucking wait to â ah, fuck you properly. I-I won't let you go for fucking h-hours, sweetheart."
You clenched tighter around him at those words. Lohen's thighs were shaking with the effort of holding back from driving up into you with everything he had.
And then he heard footsteps.
He lifted his gaze toward the gap in the tent. Damn, it was already light enough outside â someone had evidently gotten up early. But he was so desperately close to his release, and he could feel from you that you were just as close. He pulled you in against him, sliding his hand to your back, and inhaled sharply through the pain as your chest pressed against his ribs. It blurred instantly with the pleasure, but he had done it solely to be able to better control the situation.
Your soft moans were echoing in his ears when someone suddenly approached the tent. Through the gap, one of the knights peered inside â as it happened, one of Lohen's own subordinates, Gunther â who went completely still at the sight.
Gunther made eye contact with Lohen and felt dread crash through him, but his body refused to obey, transfixed on the scene before him. He watched your hips rise and fall so enticingly on the vice-captain's cock, as though you were his own personal little plaything (oh, if only he knew it was Lohen who had been begging for access to you... and that if Lohen could have, he'd have been fucking you senseless himself already...). Your moans were absolutely beautiful, practically hypnotic. Fuck, you were worth every sin.
Your relationship with Lohen was a secret â not because you wanted to hide it, but because you didn't feel the need to announce it. You still had your respective duties, and some might consider it unprofessional, especially given the seniority of both your positions.
Remembering that, Lohen possessively bit down into your neck, holding eye contact with his cadet with sick satisfaction. Mine.
The unexpected bite made you nearly cry out with pleasure, clenching around him harder than you ever had before. He felt you come undone on his cock, felt how greedily you took all of him for yourself. And still your movements didn't stop â you kept going, carrying him over the edge too. As his own peak crested, Gunther had already fled, newly blessed with the sight of your climaxing body.
Lohen came inside you with an intensity that left you breathless â you could feel him filling you to the point where your eyes rolled back, your legs giving out from beneath you, undone by his drawn-out, low groan and the iron grip of his hands on your waist.
You collapsed against him, spent and unable to move, panting against his skin while he stroked your back soothingly.
"Thank you, doctor. I feel so much better," he laughed softly, and you pulled back to look at his face. He was completely flushed, his smile curled in a way you knew all too well. Like he'd just gotten away with something. Catching your suspicious look, he quickly pulled you into a tender kiss. "Fuuuuuck. Stay with me like this for a moment, nightingale."
"Y-you know I can't, Lohen, ugh, let me go," you wriggled out of his hold, reluctantly. Lohen let out a mournful groan as the warmth of you left him. You felt, with some embarrassment, his release beginning to trickle down your thigh, so you quickly pulled your underwear back on â though Lohen, as ever, looked thoroughly delighted by that sight, making you flustered. "Fucking clean yourself up, I'll be right back."
He rolled his eyes in amusement, then did exactly as you'd told him. You disappeared behind the curtain, and he heard the rustle of fabric â you were most likely getting yourself ready to start the day. The thought that you would be walking around all day with his release inside you made his cock pulse again.
He tipped his head back against the chair. Archons, have mercy. Heal me so I can fuck her soon properly.
When you returned from behind the curtain, you were already dressed for work. He smiled, almost boyishly, as you helped him back to bed with a perfectly composed, professional expression. A moment later the noise outside had already begun â the sounds of hungry, freshly woken knights making their way to breakfast. He could see you breathe out in relief, unaware that anyone had caught you at all.
"Sweetheart," Lohen addressed you, as you leaned over his bandages to check that everything was in order. "After breakfast, would you send Gunther to me? If you don't know who he is, you definitely know Ursula â just ask her to point him out. Tell him I have some duties to hand off to him."
You nodded, and just as you were about to leave, Lohen caught you by the back of the neck and pulled you down into a teasing, yet unbearably deep and almost longing kiss. Oh, there he is.
"I'll bring you coffee with breakfast. I think you can have caffeine again by now," you murmured as you pulled away.
"What would I ever do without you, darling?" he smiled sweetly, a knowing glint in his eyes. "You're the best."

You always got home before Lohen did. This wasn't because you worked less; you just preferred to go to your family's bakery early in the morning rather than stay late preparing orders. One of the good parts of this difference in schedules is that it gave you a chance to get comfortable before your partner came home.
Resting on your couch, your cat softly purred quietly in your lap while you read a book from the Knights of Favonius Library. It was a tranquil way that you spent many of your afternoons after work. However, this silence was brought to an end by the sound of a doorknob jiggling while being unlocked.
"Hi, Lo!" You say cheerfully. But after looking at the state Lohen was in, you realized it probably wasn't the time for playfulness. He looked like a mess. He was covered in dust and dirt and clearly exhausted. Anyone else's partner would have freaked out seeing their fiancĂŠ come home in such a state. But you? You've been with Lohen long enough to accept that this is part of the norm. So, you let out a quiet sigh and stood up.
"Oh, you poor thing, you must be exhausted. Here, let me help you." You said while walking over towards Lohen. "Tough day? Did you get in trouble with Jean again?" You ask, not entirely expecting a response. Normally, the more gross he comes home, the better of a day he had, but today felt different.
Your expectation was correct. He remained quiet. But as you tried walking away to go fiddle with something else in the kitchen, you feel a hand snake around your waist. Lohen pulled you in and, resting his head on your shoulder, positioned your back to him while you stood in front of him.
After a few moments of silence, you feel Lohen raise his head off of you. This action was quickly followed by a peck on your cheek and Lohen letting his arms fall from your body. "Ahh, I missed you. To answer your question, no. I did not clear out camps. That's for the rookies to do before they start their training for today! I decided to mess with their equipment beforehand. You should've seen them panic when they couldn't find their bullets!" He said excitedly. "Even when they did, their muskets backfired and blew gunpowder right into their faces! That'll teach them to check their gear before firing." He explains, clearly proud of himself.
You quickly realize his whole sad puppy act was just that, an act. So you return his playful energy. "Oh yeah? Seems like someone should rest after working so hard. Who would be there to make their lives a living hell-I mean, hold them accountable- if you don't take care of yourself, hmm?" You tease as you wipe some of the dirt off his clothing. You yourself weren't a knight, but you saw how much Lohen pushed his crew. While his methods were...unconventional...you did see the method to his madness. Even if his subordinates didn't.
âYeah, I suppose you mayyyy be right about that. On the bright side, being at home means I get to spend my afternoon with the most beautiful woman in Mondstadt. I suppose I would sacrifice an entire evening of monster hunting for that.â He smugly replied. Lifting your left hand, he admires the engagement ring he gave you. âThen again, Iâd also kill all the monsters in Teyvat if it means youâd even glance my way.â He flirts. He was teasing, but you know he actually meant it.
Gently, he guides you back towards the couch. You both sit and get comfortable. Though that doesnât last long before Lohen pulls you onto his lap. âAha, much better. What do you say?â He teases. His arms find themselves perfectly on your waist. âNow I can do this-â he cuts himself off by pulling you into a gentle kiss.
AHHH, thanks so much for reading. I mostly write these drabbles as a warm-up before I work on my longer piece I have in the works. As I get better, I may open up requests or spread to other characters. I'm sure the more comfortable and confident I get in my writing, the longer these drabbles/one-shots will be :)
Summary: Dating a womenâs studies major has turned Sukuna into the frat houseâs most feared feminist. Now the frat boys canât make a sexist comment without getting a lecture, while you sit back and watch.
A/n: just fun lil thing i thought of :)
The frat house was unusually quiet, no music, no party, no sports discussions.
This was because Ryomen Sukuna was standing in the living room with his arms crossed, looking genuinely disappointed.
âDid you just call her a bitch?â
Satoru Gojo, halfway through stealing someoneâs energy drink from the fridge, blinked. âWhat?â
âYou called that girl a bitch.â
âShe literally stole my hoodie after our hookup,â he shrugged him off.
Sukuna pointed at him. âAnd? Speak like a man. Have some respect.â
The fraternity and sorority had gathered in one room to brainstorm ideas for a charity fundraiser. People were throwing out suggestions.
Raffles. Bake sales. Auctions.
Then Satoru snapped his fingers. âI got it.â
Immediately, you looked concerned, because he never had good ideas.
âWe do a joint event with the sorority.â Satoru grinned. âThe girls wear maid outfits and serve drinks.â
The room erupted into approval.
âThatâs genius.â
âPeople would love that.â
âEasy money.â
Across the room, Sukuna slowly lowered the energy drink from his hand.
âInteresting.â
âNO,â Gojo yelled. âLet me have this one good idea,â he groans.
Sukuna stood. âLet me understand⌠the women wear maid costumes.â
âYeah.â
âAnd serve drinks.â
âYeah.â
âAnd what are the men doing?â
Toji shrugged. âWe could do some strength challenge.â
âWhat kind?â
âI donât know. Lifting something heavy.â Several people nodded.
âClassic.â Sukuna stared. Then looked at you, looking for approval to go on a rant.
Sukuna turned back to the room. âThe women get assigned a service role. The men get assigned a strength role.â
More silence.
âBased on gender.â
The room collectively sighed.
Sukuna pointed dramatically. âWhy.â
Satoru finally spoke. âBecause thatâs what people want.â
Sukuna gasped.
You smiled proudly at your boyfriend, waiting for him to call out their blatant sexism.
âPEOPLE EXPECT IT?â
âYeah?â
âSo weâre just reinforcing traditional gender roles for profit now?â
The room erupted.
âITâS A CHARITY EVENT.â
âYOUâRE MAKING IT SOUND EVIL.â
Sukuna ignored them. âMisogyny is evil.â He pointed toward the sorority members.
âWhy are they the ones serving drinks?â
One of the sorority girls raised her hand. âHonestly, I donât want to wear a maid costume.â
âTHANK YOU.â Sukuna was fully activated.
You were delighted to see how this was playing out.
âExplain to me,â Sukuna continued, âwhy the men canât wear maid costumes and serve drinks.â
The room went dead silent, and you almost spit out your drink.
Toji blinked.
Satoru blinked.
The sorority sisters were stunned. âWhat?â
âThe men.â Sukuna spread his arms.
âNo.â
âWhy not?â
The room burst into laughter.
âIf serving drinks is easy money, then congratulations.â He slapped the table.
âThe fraternity is serving drinks.â
The sorority girls immediately started cheering.
âYES.â
âMAKE THEM DO IT.â
Toji looked horrified. âAbsolutely not, Iâm not wearing a maid outfit.â
Sukuna leaned forward. âFragile, typical response from men. Toxic masculinity, machismo, societal expectations.â He says pointing a finger at different men around the room.
You had your face in your hands, trying to hide your laughter. You had to show support for your boyfriend, but couldnât handle him naming every term he could think of.
Sukuna pointed around the room. âIf the costumes arenât degrading, wear them.â
Silence.
The sorority girls were having the time of their lives. One of them pulled out her phone. âIâm ordering maid costumes right now.â
The fraternity erupted in panic.
âSTOP HER.â
âWE CAN STILL NEGOTIATE.â
ââ-
Two weeks later, the fundraiser ended up being the most successful event in frat history.
Mostly because nobody could resist paying money to watch a group of deeply embarrassed frat bros serve spiked lemonade in maid outfits.
Toji looked dead inside.
Satoru refused to make eye contact with anyone.
Meanwhile Sukuna carried a tray through the crowd completely unbothered.
His maid outfit fit surprisingly well, as he served you a drink.
Across the lawn, Satoru was being forced to say âWelcome home, masterâ for a twenty-dollar donation.
The sorority was making a fortune.
Sukuna took one look at the donation total and smiled. âLook how good weâve done so far,â he said enthusiastically.
âIâm so proud of you,â you said before leaning in for a kiss.
âBy the way, I think you should bring home this costume when youâre done here,â you said; snapping the thigh high sock on Sukunaâs thigh.

art creds here!!
this was a comm for my angel @cantarcantar!! ty for understanding that my life was like INSANE - ilysm for being patient <3 wc - 10.1k
It took you almost two years of crushing on Satoru Gojo to actually become his girlfriend, and youâre loving every minute of it. From being too damn shy to admit you like him, to very awkwardly trying to confess and every chance just utterly failing â to then instead becoming the very best of friends.
You two were finally âofficially togetherâ as a couple.
Oh, and it was everything, being in his arms, swallowed up by those huge biceps he had hidden underneath his starch white dress shirts. Hearing that little laugh from his lips, all of those sweet little kisses he bestowed upon you â truly, all the feelings blossoming between the two of you in the most beautiful way, especially over the months of truly being his girlfriend.
Heâd take you out for all day movie marathons, going to play bumper cars, mini golf, you name it â Satoru was down for it. Every date was a meticulously planned out one too, with little to no down time aside from the drive to and from. Perhaps thatâs where you would sneak just the littlest pecks on his neck, hear his sighs as he gripped the gear shift of that fancy sports car.
Satoru adored you â and you adored him.
You were all his. There was no one else in the entire world than the boy who could never quite tie that tie on correctly, always just a little crooked for you to straighten out.
Yet with that came you being unreasonably horny all the fucking time, who wouldnât be with Satoru though? Those long fingers pressing into your waist, the way that bulge pressed between your thighs, plump lips slipping up your throat. Every time it even got just a little close, maybe you were grinding so good that you were about to cum from that â he paused it.
Wearing a cute, bashful little smile on his face, fogged up, thick rimmed glasses â murmuring sweetheart in a voice thatâs designed to make your pussy drip, and you feel like a complete pervert for wanting to beg for more. God, imagining his cock in your throat alone had you desperate and needy, let alone having him filling you, pumping you full, taking you first.
Maybe you are a pervert, truly.
Youâve tried so hard to be patient, you want him to want it as badly as you do, but every time youâre making out with your boyfriend â the top of the deanâs list and ultimate dungeon master for DnD â Satoru Gojo?
Every time his big ass hands grip your waist and he drags you down against his length, before he puts a pause on it?
You canât even think about it.
Youâre pumping your fingers in your needy cunt just thinking about it after every damn date with this boy. Whining out in your bed with your hips bucking up, gasps escaping your lips desperately in your empty room. Pumping faster and faster until youâve got that sticky release all over your hand.
Itâs almost as if you have this sort of ritual now, before you see your boyfriend and right after/.
Your rose toy is probably fucking tired of you.
As if you donât you ache so damn bad around him itâs painful, hard not to shamelessly hump his thigh till you cum. No, the toy? This takes the edge off just a bit, but even the way you moan his name in your sleep is endlessly hilarious to your poor roommates that have to hear you between the walls of your off campus apartment.
âStill a virgin?â Utahime asked with a laugh when you had woken up this morning, getting ready to see Satoru.
âNot by choice,â you grumble, shaking your head and grabbing a coffee pod from the little rack, popping your favorite inside and pressing the on button. The aroma hits immediately, waking your tired brain.
Youâd had the filthiest damn dream of him fucking your tits, cock sliding up and down in messy strokes that had you needing a damn shower right now.
Youâre just perpetually ovulating.
Satoru is the perfect boyfriend, truly he is. Heâs sweet, heâs a gentleman despite his blue eyes and where they glance too long. Mostly, he cares. Youâve fallen so in love with him so quickly over these past few months, but every time you think that things might progress, Satoru stops it. Gently lifting you up off his lap and sighing, kissing his way up your jaw, his snowy lashes tickling your cheek.
âSweetheart, letâs pause this,â he would murmur those words all sweet and sultry against your skin after almost sucking on those nipples that just stay hard around this man, instead hovering a breath away so it ghosts your tits. Those huge hands brushing just underneath them.
Itâs torture, really.
âOh, okay Toru,â youâd whisper back, heâd moan and kiss up your neck, breaths tickling your skin. âMnhâŚâ
âYouâre so beautiful, god look at you.â
It was just wrong to talk to you like that!
âYou poor baby. At least you have your toy collection,â Shoko teases, sneaking in and brushing your hair back. âExtensive, too.â
You flip her off, peeking at the phone then and seeing Satoru's name pop up.
Study session?
âDick session?â She asks, you gasp, as if affronted at such a suggestion.
âI would never assume such a thing!â
You hope so.
*****
Itâs not.
No, itâs not a dick session at all.
It really is an actual goddamn study session â both of you were sitting there in Satoruâs living room, his place was far fancier than anywhere, but that came from him being the Deanâs very son. It intimidated you a little at first, but now youâve grown comfortable, as he made you feel so special.
Today though?
Well, you canât focus on anything but how badly youâd love to kneel and suck your nerdy boyfriend, his thighs spread wide all slutty.
God his legs are long.
You bet his cock is-
âAnd this equation?â Satoru teasingly asks you, distracting you from your slutty freaking brain.
You're not even sure what stumbles out of your mouth for an answer, without saying how thick you think the circumference of his cock must be.
That is something youâve done with your past experiences, and you know youâre good at it. You could easily deep throat a man and you wanted to see his cock so damn bad â could he be a challenge, though?
Your eyes drift down his chest, he peeks at you curiously.
âWhatâs wrong, sweetheart?â He asks casually, spinning his pen between his fingers and studying you. âHard question?â
âUm⌠yeah, a very hard timeâŚâ
Stop that! Stop looking at his dick print!
âThe question is hard?â
âUh⌠the question⌠yes.â You feel like a damn pervert every time youâre around him, canât you chill and let things happen when they happen?
He sighs and stands up, stretching his arms up over his head, his abdomen revealed when his dress shirt rides up, showing those little v cuts that make your ovulating brain just a million times worse. Itâs like youâre in heat. It's so pathetic right now â maybe you should avoid him till it stops.
âLetâs take a break then.â
âYeah?â
He chuckles at how eager you are at the thought and comes up to you, leaning down with a hand on each arm of your chair, tilting his head so some of that soft white hair falls over his forehead. You brush a bit of it back and he kisses your palm, lips warm and sweet.
âYouâve been such a good girl, how can I not treat you a bit?â Your heart hammers in your chest, until those next words spill from his lips. âBoba?â
âWhat? Huh?â You blink as he eases back, pulling up his phone and leaning against the desk. âBoba??â
âYeah, Boba, Iâll buy you some, I know you love it,â he smiles curiously as you bury your face in your hands. âNo Boba? Matcha then?â
âIâm umâŚâ About to cum if he touches you once even. âNo, I guess Boba is fine. Thanks Toru.â you manage to say, thighs pressing together, Satoru frowns, kneeling now and gently taking your hands off your face, seeing your blush.
âAre you sick!? Youâre all flushed!â
âIâm not-â
âYouâre burning,â he touches your cheek in concern, and you almost fucking feel bad â youâre not sick, youâre ovulating. âBaby girl, letâs get you to a doctor right now!"
âNo, no I feel fine, Iâm not warm because of that,â you shift in your seat and whine out at just that friction. âPromise.â
He frowns and watches you carefully. âYouâre hurting, it could be the start of something!â
âWell yeah I hurt,â you sigh as he spreads your thighs and kneels between them, shoving at him. âYouâll make it even worse down there.â
âIâll make what worse, exactly? YourâŚâ He trails off then, seeing your panties and blushing himself, pink dancing across his high cheekbones and dusting them in that rose. âY-your⌠your panties are so⌠uh⌠s-soaked andâŚâ
You should freak out at this proximity, at just how much he can finally see of you, but all you can do is whine again, as his eyes shoot back up to yours. âIâm okay, promise.â
âAm I neglecting my pretty girlfriend?â He asks softly, just a little nervous. Satoru has never touched anyone but you, but heâs extensively studied the female anatomy, and how to make you cum.
He just wanted your first time to be perfect.
Thatâs why he was waiting â the last thing he needed was for you to not enjoy your first time, though he knows youâre a little more experienced than he is â Satoruâs hardly kissed anyone before you. Not because he couldnât â he just had no interest in that sort of thing until he met you â and even then, he really couldnât find the damn courage to ask you out forever.
âNo Iâm being a damn pervert,â you cover your face and he chuckles at that.
âYouâre being a what, now?â
You sink into the seat, mumbling. âYou heard me.â
Heâd been your best friend for so long, thinking there was no chance in the world â always jerking his cock with any article of clothing youâd leave in his room, like a filthy depraved pervert â and you think you were one perverted here?
Does him wanting the timing to be just right making you think that?
Satoru exhales softly, just a hint of what he wants to say slipping from his plump lips.
âWhat, do you touch your little pussy thinking of me?â
His voice has you lowering your hands, he spreads those thighs and slides up your skirt, making you moan out, head falling back, your hands gripping the arms of the chair even tighter.
âWha-?â You canât even finish your damn word.
âAsked you a question, baby.â
âGod,â heâs diabolical without knowing â or maybe he does know. Youâre trembling as you lean back, letting his thumb brush on your clit and gasping at the touch, already getting slick from a brush on your skin. âWhat question?â
âNot paying attention, tsk,â he clicks his tongue and his teeth nip your inner thigh, sinking in and making you whine out. âDo you touch her?â
âY-yes,â he hums a bit, tugging your panties up until your lips are visible, that dark spot growing as slick starts pouring. âPleaseâŚâ
âBe patient, baby,â he leans back now, smirking at you. âShow me?â
âAre you sure youâŚâ
âPlease? I wanna see so bad,â you blush now, you masturbate sure â but not in front of people! âIâll show you?â
âShow me you um⌠jerking off?â
âYeah, I mean⌠yeah?â You sigh a bit.
âToruâŚâ
âMmm?â
âWhy donât I um⌠suck you?â He is bright red now, heâs almost busting just thinking of your mouth â that wonât do. His first blow job and he busts in one go!? No, Satoru has to jerk it three times before he gets the privilege of fucking your pretty little mouth, of feeling your pink tongue on him.
âNot yet.â
âNot yet? But youâre so hard,â you giggle and tease him with your foot nudging his thigh, he glares and catches it, shoving it wide. âNot yet, then. So you just wanna see me touch myself?â
âGod yes, dreamed of that sinceâŚâ He trails off then, he doesnât want to admit just how long heâs jerked off to you, because it was before you even knew who Satoru Gojo was. âLemme see.â
âOkayâŚâ you lean back, running your fingertips over your panties, slipping underneath and leaning your head back, eyes fluttering shut, hearing Satoruâs soft little whine. âToruâŚâ
âFuck,â he thought he could handle this, but heâs utterly failing, he canât even see your pretty pussy and heâs already throbbing, leaking so much pre it hurts, sticking to his brand new digimon boxers. âYouâre sâpretty, sweetheart.â
You blush as you look at him with dazed eyes, running little circles right around your puffy clit, coated in hot slick as it dribbles out of your panties. He swipes some of it on his fingers, studying it carefully, his tongue going to lap at it, moaning as the sweetness coats his tongue.
âOh youâre t-tasting me,â it makes you needier, until you have to plunge two fingers inside your messy, quivering hole, that loud squelch echoing in your ears. Heâs gripping your thigh with one hand bruising until you cry out.
âFuck, so s-sorry⌠baby I hurt⌠y-youâŚâ
âNo, no, like it,â he moans and puts his hand back on your thigh, squeezing again so hard it aches. He's jerking his cock faster, whining out when he sees your slick fingers pull out of your panties. You press your cum soaked fingers to his lips and he eagerly wraps them around, sucking them off. âToruâŚâ
âSo sweet, my pretty girlfriend,â his glasses fog up when he leans down, licking your inner thigh that is trembling, sliding higher until his tongue is on you â but it's not on your skin, it's on the soaked cotton of your panties.
âFuckâŚâ he moans as he gets those juices that are spilling through the fabric, his and squeezing his own cock as your thighs sit over his shoulders.Â
âMore, please,â you're tugging at his hair so hard it hurts, bucking up your hips for more. âI need you, please.â
âSuch a needy girlfriend,â he murmurs, thumb circling his drooling tip, looking up at you with desperation in his pretty blue eyes. âYou want me to lick it more for you?â
Your answer is a little nod, even having him lick you over your panties is more than you've ever had done, and fuck it feels good. Sinful as he trails a long, slow stripe over the fabric, the tip stopping right over your twitchy clit, his moan is muffled against the damp cotton.
âToru!â He's lost in your scent, in that taste, the little hints of lace decorating your panties rough against his tongue, the sound is fucking filthy.
Satoru tugs those panties up more firmly, strings of gossamer saliva dripping and dissolving, peering up at you with flushed cheeks. âLike that, baby? Is this what you were thinking about instead of studying?â
Your only answer is to nod quickly, a jerky little motion as he sees those puffy lips just swallowing the damp material. He swipes his tongue over and over, the heat and wetness of his mouth making your entire body tremble. You feel it heating up, hearing the messy sounds of his own cock fucking his fist, wishing it were your throat instead.
"Oh god, Toru," you whimper out it so pathetically, your hands tangling in his soft white hair, fluffy and silky underneath your touch, trying to pull him closer, to shove his face where you need it. âNot enough, mnh!â
He chuckles against your puffy cunt, the vibration and the quick lave of his tongue have you on edge. Pulse racing as he had the audacity to tease you, landing a wet smack on your cunt that had you pathetic.
"Ah - ah," he clicks his tongue, catching your wrists in one of his stupidly large hands and pinning them against your waist, smirking at you in a way that's utterly not dirty at all. "No touching yet, sweetheart. I'm taking my time with you."
âMeanie,â he chuckles again, but you love it â feeling that strength as he grips you so tight. âMy panties are ruined, Toru.â
âMmm. Yes they are,â he tugs them again, looking at how wet the material is, just a pathetic little scrap of fabric with your juices pouring.
Instead of showing you mercy and moving them, he just presses them further against you again, tongue shoving that fabric until it's flush with your needy clit, you swear you can feel his tastebuds as that tongue drags through the fabric, pausing everywhere that has you jerking and honing in.
Like this nerdy boy is studying you.
Oh. He is.
He's methodical, almost clinical with his research of your needy, clothed cunt just separated by this pathetic little piece of fabric, his tongue pressing more firmly against your soppy lil hole. She is pulsing around nothing, torturous strokes, pressing his fingers up and down, you're hot and sticky underneath his touch.
âToru!â Your wrists are still pinned, his cock forgotten even though it's dripping down onto the soft, plush rug below his knees. Satoru finds your clit again and looks up under snowy lashes, you watch the drips of slick connect with that wickedly long tongue.
âMmm. I bet I could see myself inside you,â he whispers, you suck in a breath at that, as if he is measuring the distance of your entrance to your belly button, easing your wrists to tug up your top, nipping your puffy lips over the fabric. âScientifically.â
âThen experiment, scientifically.â He chuckles like the little shit he is, finding your clit once more, a hand pressing where he imagines his cock would bulge out.
âYou are so needy f'me, s'pretty like this,â his words slur as he wraps his plump lips around your twitchy clit, barely concealed and swollen underneath the cotton material that is dripping wet. He pulls it in his mouth and sucks it hard through your panties, humming against you.
You're aching, cunt filling his hungry mouth as your hands land back on his hair, his movements making you cry out and buck your hips against his mouth for more.
âSo sweet right now, god, look at thatâŚâ
Satoru is so close to cumming when he grabs his cock at the base again, squeezing so goddamn hard â he could almost bet that if he felt your cunt without the fabric, he'd spurt his white ropes everywhere.
Make a mess of you.
âMnh. You close, sweetheart?â
Your answer is a jerky little nod, as he keeps torturing you with this fucking barrier, his teeth grazing that tiny clit ever so lightly through the fabric, making you scream out, your head falling back. Your panties are absolutely ruined now, utterly transparent with your slick and his spit coating them, your sweet little cries rushing through his ears.
Satoru? Well, he laps at the mess he's making happily, his tongue coating the entire area in circles that deliberately avoid that spot until you're twitching, tears falling down your cheeks.
"Such a messy girl," he moans out those words, eyes black when they peek up at you, his voice husky as your slick clings to his lips. "Soaking these pretty little panties fâme.â
âPlease, Toru⌠move âem please,â he smirks and decides to have mercy on you, tugging them to the side of one of your lips and exhaling, watching the slick drool and spill down. You gasp as the air hits your cunt, already aching and needy, the dampness making it a cool shock.
âFuck, you're so pretty,â he murmurs, his cock just about to bust without his touch, he glides his tongue from your ass all the way to your clit, looking right up at you. âIs this what you were thinking of, hmm? My tongue inside you?â
âYour cock, too,â he chuckles against you, but just a couple more flicks has you close, as he spreads your cunt wide, studying your every expression.
âLook at that. My slutty little girlfriend.â
Satoru is trying his best to hold it together, but when his tongue glides into your gummy walls and they grip him, he's too far gone, slurping up every bit of the cum that just pours out. You shatter so damn pretty, squirting all over his face, dripping down his chin until it's glossy, his cock starts pulsing right with your hole, imagining her milking him.
âF-fuckkâŚ.â
âToru, mnh! S'good I⌠pleaseâŚâ Youâre overheated, body sensitive, itâs just not enough, even with his tongue lavishing every bit of your pussy.
Not enough.
âPlease what, baby? Mnh,â he grips his veiny cock as he cums with his tongue on your clit, more of your mess drenching his throat, his face, his shirt. His white ropes coat his hand, lashes fluttering shut as he savors your jumping clit in his mouth, whining against you.
âWant your cock in my mouth, Toru pleaseâŚâ he exhales, breath making you jolt, looking up at you with a blush.
âI umâŚâ he leans back on his knees and you see the mess, blushing at it.Â
âI didn't touch you thoughâŚâ
âDidn't need to,â he's clearly a little embarrassed, you take his cum soaked hand then â dripping white â and wrap your mouth around one of his thick fingers. âOh fuckâŚâ
You suck him right off, tasting that salty white substance and moaning as it hits your taste buds. Satoru pulls back and laps it off his own fingers, before kissing you right with it, the mess spilling between your mouths and dripping down.
Satoru Gojo â your nerdy boyfriend with an insane Digimon collection was a fucking freak, greedily drinking his own cum off your mouth.
Youâre trembling when the door knocks, and you faintly remember that he has ordered you boba. Heâs the epitome of a perfect boyfriend after that, considerate, caring, cleaning the little rivulets of your own release from your inner thighs â youâre stuck back on the opposite side of the bed, cuddling him and watching a movie.
Satoru even has the audacity to snore after, heavy body wrapping as you ache to get filled by him â at least the movie was so damn boring you drift off right next to him.
****
âIâm gonna die a virgin,â you mumble to Shoko and Utahime the next weekend, aside from more heated kisses and grinding on Satoruâs thigh after your well planned out dates â nothing.
Youâre aching.
How much use could your rose toy really see!? And now you even have two more toys going along with it, though you doubt any of them are getting close to Satoru and how good he must feel. No âclit suckerâ could come close to what that nerdy little mouth could do.
âYou look like youâre dying, girl, damnâŚâ Utahime earns your glare. âIs it that bad?â
âHe finally got me off andâŚâ You blush now, unable to finish your sentence, remembering his tongue drinking up your juices.
âDoes he know what a clit is?â
âVery much so, it was so good.â
They look surprised.
âYou all have no clue, he really was,â Shoko laughs at that, leaning back and hitting the vape, handing it over to you. âNo, no.â
âYou need a smoke, sweets,â you grimace, brushing your hair back, pacing back and forth as the two girls watch you, snuggling with each other. âYouâre pacing holes in the carpet.â
âI canât handle this, I just⌠god I wanna suck his dick, is it so terrible? He hasnât even let me touch it. I sound like a horny ass man, I hate it. I wanna respect him, I really do.â
âYou wanna respect him with his cock in your throat?â Shoko finishes.
âYes. I mean!? I will respect him without the cock in my mouth! You two are menaces.â
Theyâre laughing like the brats they are, blowing smoke in each otherâs mouths, you damn near moan in frustration. Satoruâs gotten you off that one time, then since then he has gone right back to worshipping you in the sweet way he always did, as if youâll what â forget about his tongue?
His stupidly long fingersâŚ
The cum on your tongue that you lapped right off!?
The taste.
âUgh -â you lean back and sink further into the couch. âI really am gonna die.â
âCanât die, weâve got that party tonight,â Utahime teases, kissing Shokoâs lips and giggling just a bit, you pout at the two of them.
In public Satoru would kiss your hand at best.
Where on earth even had that freak come from that spit his cum in your mouth last week!? Heâs all gone again â the pocket protector wearing Nerd Gojo in his place, like some twin fucking took over for a minute.
âI canât go to a party and get drunk, Iâll make a fool of myself around him, one drink and my pussy has a mind of its ownâŚâ You finally sit down, plopping back into the seat. âI feel like a pervert.â
âYou are! Letâs just call you fucking pervy Sage.â
âHey!â You glare at Utahime, Shoko is inhaling another puff of smoke, you cough just a bit.Â
âHah â Sanji from One-â
âDonât even!? Iâm not that bad,â you huff at her, frowning now. âI swear I'm not trying to be pervy. God, what is in this weed?â
âHmm,â Shoko tugs Utahime on her lap. âI wonder if he's scared you'll like ⌠bite his dick.â
âYou're so fucking mean,â you cough a little more, eyes watering as you scowl at the two of them.
âLook slutty, like really slutty,â Shoko walks up now, tilting your chin up and crooking her lips up at the corner. âSomething that screams â fuck me.â
âHe licked my panties and didnât evenâŚâ
âReally slutty,â Utahime agrees, tapping her chin. âOoh! I know, I have the perfect outfit in mind, that little black dress of yours.â
âBut itâs too small for me now! Itâs from like high school, and thanks to you two cooking all the time, my hips-â
âExactly.â
âExactly what? OhâŚâ
You trail off now, realizing what everyone knew â that Satoru loves your hips, he grabbed on to them every chance he got, even when he was just a little bit shy.
âOkayâŚâ
They kiss again in front of you, laughing a bit, making you lovesick for your man â your nerdy man who you wish would kiss you in that way, tongues all dripping. Itâs not even fair.
âAll lovey dovey, fuck you both.â
Theyâre so hot and rude laughing at you â you decide to just disappear, you donât need your hot ass best friends making out in front of you when youâre already in pain from the constant edging from Satoru. You are rushing to your room and trying on outfit after outfit, before finally deciding on the exact fucking one they brought up.
You would look as sexy as you could and hopefully get your boyfriend to not be able to resist you.
But also youâll respect his decision, dammit! You can wait as long as he wants to, even if you were absolutely gonna put your tits and ass out there for him. Looking in the mirror and touching up your lipstick, swiping a finger across your lower lip to smudge it just a tad.
âOh damn you look hot, Sanji,â Utahime says when you come out.
âI am not Sanji.â
âYou are.â
âFuck you both!â
*****
Satoru canât keep his damn eyes off you.
Fuck youâre pretty tonight.
That damn little black dress clinging to your skin is fucking ruining Satoruâs mind, brain short circuiting as the two of you navigate the insanely packed frat house, one of his hands on the small of your back protectively. People are all bumping into everyone, stumbling around, absolutely no chance he lets someone hurt you by accident.
Moreso, Satoru Gojo canât get his fucking hands off you, no, he can feel your warmth right through the thin layer of cotton material, fingers splaying across it. He reminds himself in his head over and over just what a horrible thing it would be to fucking take your first time at a frat party, even as he has to adjust his cock, turning from you to face the wall for a moment.
âEverything okay, Toru?â You ask softly, hand on his back, he laughs, a fake and terrible attempt at being normal, turning right back around to you.
âMe!? Yes, yes. Do you need a drink, babydoll?â He asks.
The music kicks on as he speaks, and all you can see are his plump lips forming words, ringing from how damn loud theyâre blaring the worst dance music known to man. âWhat!!â
âA drink!!â
âHuh?â
âA DRINK-â
The music pauses for just a minute, switching to something else but leaving multiple people to stare at Nerdy Gojo shouting.
You blink a bit at his shouting, he swears heâll kill Suguru and Nanami for having the audacity to fucking laugh at him and his pain. Them smoking weed earlier and trying to give him every tip known to man on how to bury said tip right against that surely cute little cervix.
As if Satoru hadnât studied extensively.
âYes, please,â you smile all pretty, letting him guide you through, he just about loses it from the sheer amount of eyes locked onto you, gripping you just a little too tight, feeling the curve of those breedable hips underneath his fingertips.
Imagine having them bent over, his hands fit so perfect-
No, he can make it another night, a dumb frat party was not the time or place for something so precious as your first time. Even if you smell that good, and youâre dancing all over him, giggling, your ass brushing right against where his cock has tented his dark jeans.
Your drink in one hand, the other in his as he pulls you against him, for a nerdy boy, Gojo can absolutely move his body. You feel so goddamn good against him, with your waist in his grip now, his lips pressed against your ear â he can inhale that sweet scent you just naturally fucking have.
Thatâs when he realizes heâs about to cum if your ass rubs up on his cock one more damn time with those heels making you tall enough, he could bend you over and slide it right in. God he bets youâre so wet too.
Satoru has to pull back, making you blink just a bit in confusion, he downs the rest of his drink, smiling apologetically.
âBathroom, sweetheart.â
âOh, um⌠okay, want me to-â
Satoru runs the fuck off.
Maybe youâre doing too much, shit⌠you were absolutely grinding all up on Satoru because you were craving him so bad. You needed to give him more time! If the roles were reversed, you know he would, even if he may want to as badly as you do. Going to pour yourself a shot, you throw it back and let your eyes shut, sighing just a bit as it burns your throat.
You need to ease up and let Satoru take his time, even if you have to press your thighs together to resist the needy urge of rubbing your cunt on anything right now.
Maybe you are fucking Sanji.
*****
Satoruâs leaned back on the door, unzipping his pants and seeing his reddened cockhead, and just how fucking swollen it is. Heâs jerking his cock desperately, whimpering out as the door gets knocked on, banged on in fact by fucking Sukuna of all people.
âGotta take a piss man, stop jerking it.â
âIâm not!? Iâm pissing right now â w-wait,â Satoru is jerking it of course, but how dare Sukuna call him out on it. Dickhead fratboy that he is, heâs chuckling outside of the door, but none of it is getting rid of Satoruâs throbbing erection.
Heâs just way too needy, too sensitive, he can see his reflection in the mirror â those flushed pink cheeks. Sukuna thankfully fucks off, but Satoru can't even cum with just his hand, not when he knows your little fist would feel so much better, when your mouth and pussy would grip him.
No, Satoru is left tortured.
*****
You are alone for some time, concerned if he was somehow drunk or sick when the leader of the frat â the slutty ass, pink haired jock named Sukuna comes up to you, sipping his cup and flickering his red eyes up and down your face.
âHmm, Gojo left you all alone?â
âAnd?â You scoff, rolling your eyes at him now, he smirks just a bit, leaning close. âHeâs busy. Okay?â
âMmm⌠yeah,â he peeks over his shoulder now, then looks right back down at you. âSo.â
âSo, what?â
He grins all big. âWanna play beer pong?â
âBeer pong?â
âMhm,â he tugs at a little lock of your hair. âBet I stomp your ass at it. Look like such a good girl.â
âHah you think I've never been to a party!?â
âNever seen you before aside from with your nerdy lover boy,â he pours you a drink now and inclines his head.
âI've partied, just⌠usually me and Toru are busy.â
He snorts at that.
So busy your boyfriend is jerking his cock in the bathroom.
âI see, so busy, huh?â
âYes butâŚâ you curse now, shaking your head. Satoru has been gone fifteen minutes and won't answer a text, a game of beer pong wouldn't hurt. âFine then.â
It doesnât take long until there is an entire gathering of people to watch you absolutely annihilate Ryomen Sukuna in beer pong, to the point he is fucking furious. You're landing the pong ball in every cup, decimating the entire frat at a certain point, giggling as you study them, down to the last shot, against Sukuna again.
âBeginners luck or some shit,â heâs fucking furious â you swear you see his vein ticking underneath his jaw.
Satoru is still not here.
Youâre worried but youâre also enjoying the cheers, especially when you land that last one, giggling as the frat brothers who were talking all that shit about the nerdy girlfriend of Satoru moments before are now staring in disbelief. With one final, perfect arc, the ball splashes into the last cup.Â
It really is beginner's luck.
But.
Also, fuck Sukuna.
"Damn, girl!" someone yells, and you take a little bow, rubbing it right in Sukunaâs face now, who is slamming down the rest of his beer.
Surely he drank enough to get annihilated â but somehow still standing just normal, big ass man has some insane tolerance because those eyes look completely aware.
"Guess I'm not such a good girl after all, huh?" you tease Sukuna, who's standing there looking down at you, setting the cup down and crushing it.
âHmmm,â his red eyes dilate just a bit as he steps closer to you, suddenly making you feel just a bit nervous.
Satoru hates Sukuna.
Itâs well known, since high school the two of them have been overcompetitive and absolutely insane against each other. Heâd be fucking furious if he saw you anywhere near him at all. You peek and see him across the crowd then, getting a text from Shoko blinging on your phone.
Heâs really mad.
He is.
You get another text now from Utahime, biting down on your lower lip.
Make him jealous and maybe youâll get dicked down, Sanji.
âIâm not Sanji,â Sukuna raises a brow, lips twitching. âIâm not.â
âSanji? Who the fuck is that?â
âOne piece?â
âNerd â hey, wait,â youâre turning and he grabs your wrist for just a moment. âShit, I mean⌠youâre right, youâre not a good girl, huh?â
âI sure beat your ass,â you say, pausing when he reaches out, his fingers surprisingly gentle as they brush a stray piece of hair back from your face, rough knuckles brushing against your cheek for a second too long.
"You did, you're full of surprises, brat.â
âBrat? WhateverâŚâ
You can feel Satoruâs eyes on you â youâd pull back, but part of you wonders if making him jealous would bring that freak out that spit cum in your mouth â maybe you are a brat. You sip your drink, remaining normal.
âIâm dating Satoru, youâre too close.â
âWould nerdy ass Satoru know what to do, how to handle your ass?â He taunts, your eyes narrow, his laugh echoing despite the music as your boyfriend starts shoving his way through. âShow you that digimon collection?â
âIâm very pleased, thank you.â
âYou look like you need to get your attitude fucked right out of you,â your fingers itch to slap him now. âIf he fucks up, you know where to find me.â
âNo thank you, I- Toru!â
Satoru is between you and Sukuna, shoving him off and glaring right at him â perhaps the two tallest men at the party right face to face, Sukunaâs smirk making Satoru want to punch him.
âWhy are you so close to my future wife?â
âWife?â You blush and he glares at you.
âYes, and baby momma â but youâre being a brat,â he whispers, Sukuna snorts at that.
âShe is a brat.â
âYou canât call her that,â he shoves the big ass man and takes your hand now. âShe has better shit to do than talk to you.â
âAw, but we were having fun,â Satoru is dragging you away, you blink just a bit, almost scowling at Sukuna who blows you a kiss.
What a dick.
BUT.
Satoru is fuming, and heâs hot.
Youâre so toxic!
âWhatâs wrong, Toru? I was just playing some beer pong,â you say all innocently, as he drags you past everyone, youâre struggling to keep up with his long strides. âUm⌠whatâs wrong?â
âWhatâs wrong!? Hah,â heâs laughing, psychotic and feral like you turned on a switch in his brain, when he finally starts getting some privacy. âEverything.â
âI donât get itâŚâ
âHe was hitting on you,â Satoru yanks you away in the center of the party, you barely bite back your giggle at how excited you are to see him this way, looking ever so serious when he glares down at you.
Maybe you are evil, loving how mad he is, how jealous he is when he presses you against the hallway wall on the other side of the party, you can feel the music humming through the walls, but not as fast as your heart is racing looking up at your blue eyed boyfriend. Blue eyed angry boyfriend.
This isn't sweet Satoru at all, no â he's completely fucking unhinged, his chest rising and falling with his quickened breaths, cupping your face and jerking your chin to look up at him.
âYou think he was?â You ask softly, making him raise a brow. âI thought he was just⌠being nice?â
You make him laugh without humor now, thumb brushing across your lip. âAre you being bratty, sweetheart? Teasing me, making me jealous?â
âWhat? No,â you straight up fucking lie to his face, batting your lashes all innocent and cute, but you can tell my that little smirk he doesnât buy any of it for shit right now.
âNo?â
âNo, I was just talking, Toru. Isn't that fine?â You trail your hands up his chest, wrapping your fingers around to hook behind his neck, tugging him down to face you. âItâs fine for me to make friends, isnât it?â
âNot when he's looking at these pretty tits,â he cups one, making you suck in a breath â your needy boyfriend is never this bold. âThey're not his to look at.â
âOh?â You lean forward now, tip toeing as he leans low, thumb brushing over a nipple, making it perk up for his touch. âAre they yours? Yours to look at?â
Heâs losing it, his pulse hammering behind his ears, in his wrists, everywhere was hammering, his mouth practically salivating as he cups that tit right where anyone can see, big hand squishing it. You gasp out at the sensation, your lashes fluttering closed, little whines mingling against his lips.
âYes, mine, every inch of you is mine,â Satoru shakes his head now with a soft laugh. âHe thought he could dance with you. Kiss your lips? Lips that are mine.â
âAll yours,â you open your eyes and giggle again, earning his scowl. âSorry you're just so cute like this.â
Satoru blinks.
âOh, Iâm cute?â
You go to press a kiss when he snatches you up in one swoop, you gasp and wrap your arms around his neck now. Thighs trembling as he carries you to some room he finds, stumbling you in and shoving you right against the door.
âYou think I'm cute,â he presses his cock against your slick heat, slutty little panties practically ruined for him, grinding his cock until you're gasping out. âWell I think that you're a brat.â
You gasp. âMe?â
Two people calling you that.
Well⌠maybe you are.
âYou are bratty, with those pretty fucking lips,â he's kissing you filthy, tongues dancing, saliva dripping between you both, easing you down so that you slide against his body achingly slow. âMaybe I should shut your bratty mouth up.â
Oh fuck.
âYes please?â He glares at your big fucking grin.Â
âOn your knees then, sweetheart,â you so eagerly obey, he laughs softly, his heart hammering in his chest, a mix of being utterly furious, nervous about his first time, and dumbstruck by the sight of your heart eyes. âLook at you, beinâ such a good girl â but are you really that desperate to suck me?â
âPlease yes,â you have no shame â all you want is Satoruâs cock deep and buried in the back of your throat. âIf you want though! C-consent.â
âAs if I havenât wanted this for years,â he shakes his head and tilts your chin up, sighing. âI wanted to do it all perfect, to lick and kiss every inch, worship your body until you were writhing, so fucking needy for it.â
Satoru unclicks his belt, the metallic click hitting your ears. âMnh⌠years?â
"Years," he repeats softly, unbuttoning his jeans entirely too slow for you, you go to move your hands and he halts them with a little smack, you bite down on your lip, aching. âHands on your thighs, youâll listen to me for once, since youâve been driving me so fucking crazy.â
âMe, making you crazy, really,â you do as he says though â eagerly â palms on your thighs, he laughs a bit, the sound of his zipper lowering echoing in the room even with the reverberating walls.
âYou know every time you drag that messy cunt on me it ruins me, right?â He draws out that word, sighing now. "Every time you wore those little skirts and bent over, every time you'd bite your lip while concentratingâŚâ
Satoru drags a thumb down your lip now, achingly slow against the plumpness that moves underneath it, your teeth nip on his thumb teasingly, and then you let him push your mouth open.
âOpen real wide, sweetheart,â you do just that, and he canât help but whimper as he presses down on your tongue, as if heâs studying the recesses of your open, eager mouth. âWider, canât you? For me?â
You listen eagerly, opening wide and fucking obscene, your tongue out for any bit of him he wants to give you, core just aching.
âFuck, I've imagined this exact moment."
Satoru wonât tell you just how long he has, either, he swallows â just a bit nervous now.
âSuck,â you suck his digits, slurping them and moaning around them, imagining his cock instead, loving how dominant heâs being. âStop.â
You obey, making him raise a brow.
âYou like me tellinâ you what to do? Is that why you got me so fucking mad, so jealous, to have you listen?â
âYeah,â you whisper, as he shoves his jeans down, and the hard, thick length of his bugle strains against the thin fabric of his boxers. âPokemon? You traitor!â
âI canât wait to shut your mouth up tonight,â you giggle at that, Satoru sighs and frowns at them, brushing your hair back a bit. âThey were a gift, okay?â
âIâll buy you digimon ones.â
âGod, youâre so perfect,â youâre still giggling, when he gently smacks your face â the lightest little touch that has you almost moaning. âOpen up again, yeah? Be a good girl, baby.â
âMmm, yes,â you nod your head, doing just as he says â the side of freaky Satoru you only saw hints of last week when heâd lavished your panties with his long tongue.
âYou got me jealous on purpose, yeah? Wore that slutty outfit to fucking ruin me, wanted cock in your throat that bad? Got me fucking leaking so much⌠fuckâŚâ
Your answer is to keep that mouth open, leaning forward as you lap your tongue along the damp spot where his pre cum has already soaked through, right over a traitorous yellow pikachu. Youâll make more fun of that later, right now heâs jerking his hips, hissing at the drag of your cute lil tongue on him.
âFuckâŚâ Youâre teasing him just like he did you â licking and sucking his tip over the damp cotton of his boxers. âAct so sweet and youâre evil, shouldnât feel that good through that⌠mmmâŚâ
Satoruâs letting you suck around his fat cockhead, slurping every bit of his white cum from it, tongue lolling right along that slit over and over.
âTorturing me back?â
âYep,â you lick your lips, making him sigh, shaking his head now.
âGo on then, take whatâs all yoursâŚ" his voice is low, hoarse damn near as he for the very first time pulls his cock out, letting it spring free, slapping against his lower abdomen with a loud, wet smack. âCan you fit all of it?â
You knew heâd be big.
You didnât know heâd be that big, with his jeans undone all slutty, his pokemon boxers shoved down â his cock is perfect, just the right amount of thick and entirely too fucking long, with a prominent pale blue vein running along the underside. Youâre literally drooling as he strokes it right in front of you, the head flushed a deep, pretty pink as it leaks white.
Youâre soaked, fucking ruined.
âI can.â
You cannot.
Maybe?
You will try!
âGo on then, sweetheart, lemme see how good you can take all of me,â he chuckles as you lean forward without hesitation, pressing a soft, open-mouthed kiss to the tip. âTeasinâ me more?â
You lap your tongue up, keeping your hands right where he asked you too, sliding underneath so you hit that frenum. His sharp inhale is met with his huge hand tugging in your hair so hard it hurts, pulling at the hairs on the nape of your neck.
âFuck⌠greedy lil mouth,â heâs damn near slurring his words when you swirl your little tongue around the head, lapping up the salty taste of his cock underneath, brushing along that vein. He whimpers out when you wrap your lips around it and suck. âOh my⌠f-fuckâŚâ
Satoru loses it the first time you really suck his cock, his hand coming to rest on the back of your head, pushing you down further as his other hand rests on the doorway, beginning to move so that heâs choking you. Youâre whining out, aching to touch your cunt so bad you slide your fingers down.
âSo desperate,â he tuts his tongue, fucking your throat now, his cock slamming the back of it as tears spill. âB-baby, is this sâokay?â
You pull back as he does, with a wet, filthy pop, grinning. âI want it, all the way deep in my throat, Toru, I can take it.â
âYou can take all of it in that tiny lilâ throat? When sheâs this tight?â He whispers, your nod makes him glare now. âHave you done this?â
You blink a bit. âYes?â
âThen Iâll fuck your throat so hard youâll forget anything but me,â he takes you over now, slamming deep inside, youâre whimpering as one of his feet spread your thighs, and youâre soaking his black boot. âThatâs it, rutting on my boot and taking cock like a little slut, hmm?â
âMnhghâŚâ youâre done for, this is exactly what you needed, him railing your throat until you canât think, until youâre gagging and tears are spilling.
âLook at me,â he orders softly, you do just that as he presses deep, sniffling as you try to take all of him, he hisses as he feels his tip stretching that tight throat, his Adam's apple bobbing. âYou know I fucking love you? And respect you?â
You giggle around him and he glares.
âYou have to know if Iâm gonna say all this,â you pull back again, fingers all coated in your slick, gliding it along his sticky tip.
âI know you love me, Toru. I love youâŚâ He sighs, touching your cheek. âI love you talking to me this way, you could be meaner.â
âOh? Fuck my frustration on your throat?â
âPlease?â
âYouâre ruining me,â he mumbles, slamming right back inside, now that he knows youâre okay, he can lose control, see how much you can take, as you grind on that shoe, nails now pressing in the muscles of his thighs, jeans slipping down. âWant our first time to really be right against this door? Shove your slutty skirt up and ruin your cunt for fuckinâ anyone?â
God, Satoruâs sexy like this, fogged glasses and all.
Your answer is to take him all the way, your nose brushing against the white hair, the tufts of it tickling your nose, heâs stuttering now, unable to stop himself from fucking faster, harder, the wet sounds mixing with his whines. He doesnât hold them back, either, every time he does he feels a fresh gush of wetness even over that leather, he can see it shimmering as he pulls back and slaps his cock on your mouth.
âSlutty girl, this all fâme, huh? Not that fucking loser downstairs?â
âAll you.â
âHold that tongue out,â you do just that, and Satoru slaps his tip on your tongue over and over, as you keep grinding on him. âCanât believe youâre this much of a pretty little whore, god I thought you were a good girl?â
âToru⌠pleaseâŚâ
âPlease what?â You just keep rubbing. âDesperate, fuck⌠stand up.â
You can hardly do that when he helps you by tugging you up, spitting directly in your mouth, you swallow it greedily, earning his pathetic moan as he turns you, shoving you against that door. âMnh!â
âStop me before I fill all your fucking holes with cum,â heâs kissing down your neck, his glasses cool against your neck, whines escaping his lips as he shoves that slutty lil dress up the gentle curve of your hip. âAll of them, Iâll have your cunt drippinâ, your throat full, fuck that ass while Iâm at it.â
âMngh, please, please,â itâs all you can do but to arch.
âThat needy?â Heâs tugging your panties to the side, dragging his tip up and down over and over, moans escaping his lips when he bends down, turning your face to him. âFirst time in a frat house against a door? Youâre so wet do I even need to finger you right now?â
âAlready did,â you answered, he laughs, shaking his head and kissing you, rubbing even more, teasing your slit with the fat head of his cock until youâre weak, your thighs shaking. âPlease, pleaseâŚ.â
âPlease what, fuck your cunt for the first time? Thatâs what youâve been wanting, me to lose it, huh?â
âYeah,â he scoffs, teasing even more, mouth messy and mean as he bumps your clit, until you squirt right down his length, dripping all down the carpet.
Sukunaâs carpet â itâs his room you faintly notice, as you see the little pictures on the walls.
You wonder if Satoru meant that.
âSquirting already, havenât even fucked you yet,â he pulls back and bends down, slamming his cock so deep you scream out, head falling back as he tugs your hair, making your ass arch out as he fills you. âOh my g-god⌠babyâŚâ
âToru,â he lets you adjust to his thickness, the very first time your cunt has ever been filled â and this wasnât how he wanted to do it.
He wanted to stretch you out â one finger, two, then three â but youâre so soaked you suck him right in. Such a tight, perfect fit he can hardly take it, bending down to press sweet kisses on your bare shoulders, easing back and shoving in again, taking your hand and placing it on your tummy, pressing so you feel it all.
âFeel me here?â He asks softly, desperately â worried for a moment with how tight you are that heâs hurt you, but your answer is to look back at him with those slutty, parted lips and dilated eyes, nodding. âWhoâs inside you?â
âYou, Toru.â you answer, cunt spasming as sheâs already close, his body overtaking you, wrapping and tugging, shoving even deeper.
âWhoâs first?â
âYou.â
âWhoâs gonna make this cunt stretch out?â
âY-you and⌠ah!â
âMine, mine⌠fuck youâre all mine,â Satoru gave you that minute to adjust, a last mercy before your nerdy boyfriend fucking loses his mind. âMine, this pretty body, this perfect pussy⌠you⌠mineâŚâ
âYours,â you whisper it over and over as Satoru fucks your messy cunt, even though itâs hard to take, youâre so full it feels perfect, letting his hand wrap your throat, fingers pressing on either side of your windpipe. âAh!â
âHah â such a perfect fit, made fâme,â heâs fucking you so deep you feel him everywhere, cock gliding in and out of your sticky, gummy walls, fucking you so goddamn messy it's dripping down between your thighs. âB-babyyyâŚâ
You arch for more when he pulls out of your cunt with a filthy squelch and you whine from the loss. âBack in, pleaseâŚâ
He lifts and carries you to the bed, thighs shoved wide, feral now as he shoves back inside and sees himself moving inside you. Every slick glide smoothing your puffy cervix, until she is bruised and aching, that dress shoved higher, panties tugged firmly to the side. He uses both to move in you, laughing as you gasp out, as your thighs tremble.
âAw, is it too much, sweetheart? Too deep?â
Feral Satoru is here, mixed with sweet Toru, but his cock is anything but sweet â the way it stretches you out, fucking ruins you, pummels your cunt so deep youâre about to cum all over his length, already sensitive.
âMhm!â
âFull of me?â
âNghhhhâŚâ
You don't know how the fuck else to answer, it all is entirely too much, the way he can see his cock print, his insane laugh, those blue eyes glittering with the frames fallen off. So blue it hurts to look at, eyes almost threatening to close.
âNuh-uh, eyes on me, that's it,â Satoru keeps pumping into your cunt, leaning up to shove your thighs against your tits, smushing them as he fucks you dumb.
He knows it too.
âCan't think?â
âmmm, nnnhhh,â your answer is pathetic and just a babble really, as your nerdy, once virgin boyfriend pummels your messy, needy cunt until she's stuffed so full it hurts. Your nails pressing into biceps, digging in as he stretches your puffy lips on it.
âCanât even fucking talk â already?â Your eyes roll back in your skull as his cock ruins your pussy, so deep you do feel him all over.
âGonna pump you so full, hah will you finish college without me breeding your cunt?â Satoru Gojo is batshit insane, as he leans over you, bending you so that you're folded in half under his heavy weight. âWhat would you do then, hmm? If I breed your slutty cunt? Make you mine.â
âWant it, mmm,â youâre utterly fucking shameless about it, feeling his bruising grip, his cock getting creamy at the base as his heavy balls slap.
âJerked it in the bathroom, had me so hard,â you bite down on your lip, gasps escaping your throat, eyes locked. âYou love that, huh? Driving me insane, slutty dress, pretty body⌠godâŚâ
He presses your thighs down enough to tug your tits out, gripping them and exhaling, thumbs brushing your nipples until theyâre peaks.
"Look at you," he pants, "taking my cock so well, pretty girl. Youâre just such a good little slut for me, aren't you?"
You can only moan in response, your body trembling as he hits that spot inside you that makes your vision go white, your answer is to grip his hips with your thighs, letting him cup your face, pumping you so full that you can feel it all over. Warm and hot when he whines out so pathetically in your ringing ears, slutty little moans falling from your lips.
âTakinâ all of it, godâŚâ He kisses you even as you shatter, your cunt spasming all around his veiny length, milking him for every drop. âSo fucking greedy. So needy.â
He leans down and captures your lips, spurts of cum still pouring, you can feel him twitching, nails pressing into the strong muscles of his back. âToru⌠l-love⌠toru y-youâŚâ
âCock drunk, sweetheart?â He teases, like the menace he really is â but he also lovingly caresses your cheek. âYou took me like you were made for me.â
âI did?â Youâre so damn drunk off him youâre slurring your words, pussy achingly empty, feeling his cum slipping out.
âYou did a very good job. Such a good girl.â
âYay!â
Satoru snorts at you, shaking his head and peppering kisses, leaned up on an arm, his shirt half open, revealing the hard planes of his chest. âYouâre sâcute⌠I wanted to take it easy your first time.â
âI loved it,â you admit, yawning now, peeking around the room. âMmm, can we go home though?â
âOf course we will,â he kisses down your body though, breath ghosting your thighs, spreading them to watch the filthy mess of his cum pour out, groaning. âYouâre wasting it all, baby.â
âHmm? Ah!â Satoru scoops some of that mess up against his fingertips, shoving it right back inside your quivering hole. Youâre gripping him tight, thighs clamping down on his hand, as he smirks. âToru youâre⌠crazyâŚâ
âMmm, you really have no idea what I have wanted to do,â he clicks his tongue, pushing that cum deep again, watching your every expression. âGonna keep you so full of cum itâll drip everywhere.â
Satoru does not just fuck you once, no â he makes sure to bend you over in the backseat of his car, fucking cum back inside. Once you're at his house he is pumping ropes of cum on your tits, laughing at how messy you get coated in white, before spreading it all over your body.
Satoru fingers and fucks all that cum inside until you're a trembling mess in his arms, passing out and snoring.
âSo funny you started all this but then couldn't keep up, hmm?â He teases softly, cleaning you up, cock sore from how you gripped him, how much he came. But even the sight of milky drops escaping your hole had him damn near twitching back to life, groaning against your skin.
*****
âGood morning,â your nerdy boyfriend is littered in pretty kiss marks, indentions of your teeth all down his neck, a loopy smile on his face as he stands there shirtless, glasses firmly back on.
âOh! Good morningâŚâ you thought you'd be the one to ruin Satoru Gojo, ride his cock till he whimpered and cried from overstimulation.
You had no clue he'd fuck you so good you couldn't sit up right without his help, cupping your face and leaning down to kiss your lips, tilting your chin up and smirking. You're a mess.
A pretty mess.
Hair fucked up, covered in fingerprints and hickies, taking the coffee he brings and sipping it, sighing as it hits your tongue. âMmm⌠good morning.â
âDon't you look pretty in my bed?â He muses, smirking on his features. âI wonder what Sukuna thought of his bed covered in your squirt.â
A blush heats up your cheeks. âI didn't squirt that much!?!?!â
âYou really did,â you shove him playfully, giggling then. âMy cum too though.â
âYou did it on purpose, his room!â
âMe? Never.â
Satoru absolutely did.
That's what Sukuna gets for hitting on his girlfriend, dried up cum all on his blankets â as if he could handle you â¤ď¸
heheh i hope ya'll liked horny reader for a change!!!
you know that trope where itâs princess + knight, but theyâve both been captured by the bad guys and the princess is now gripped by the jaw by the villain, receiving a thin cut to her cheek while remaining completely still with a defiant look in her eyes even as a droplet of blood begins to trickle out of the wound, all while 3 people AT THE VERY LEAST need to have their hands locked on the knight because heâs thrashing around like a wild animal, trying so so so desperately, violently, to get to her?
Warnings: Implied smut, Lohen tapping the reader's butt lightly a few times, sadomasochist Lohen, making out in public, slight enabler fem!reader, established relationship.
a/n: got this idea from @justacube thank you for letting me make a fic of this prompt!!
Lohen stared at the carpet of the Grandmaster's office as he knelt on it in front of the Acting Grandmaster. The reason??
"Lohen, Vice Captain of the Fifth Company of the Knights of Favonius," Jean declared his entire title, as if he was being sent for capital punishment, "We have received another batch of complaints regarding your 'methods' to evaluate knights for the Nod-Krai expedition. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Those damn snitches," muttered Lohen.
"The complaints are Anonymous; there is no one for you to hold a grudge against," said Jean.
"Well, it's clear who submitted them. Doesn't take an Akademiya scholar to figure out it was one of those cowards. I swear the Knights need to recruit people with actual nerves," he remarked as he shuffled a bit on the carpet.
Jean pinches her nose to stop the stinging of an incoming migraine. It doesn't help.
"Lohen, I understand that your standardized tests are brutal, but -"
"But my tests are so simple, Acting Gransmaster!" insists Lohen.
"All they have to do is NOT drink the poison, and what do they end up doing?? Drinking the poison! I assure you, if they didn't drink it, I'd just spar with them for a minute or two and let them pass!"
"That's not what I-" she rebuts.
"Jean! Are you in there?" a knock, following the most melodic voice (in Lohen's opinion), speaks out.
"Yes, come in." Jean sighs, taking her hand off her nose.
In walks the most beautiful girl in Tevyat. You didn't notice Lohen the moment you stepped into the office, distracted by the bundle of papers in your hand, but he very much noticed you. In fact, he can never do anything but notice you. The way you walked, spoke, and how those thigh-high boots fit on you.
You really needed to step on him with those on one day.
But he was aware you were there for Jean rather than him. Such are the woes of life. You were rumored to be the Dandelion Knight's successor, much like how Razor was to Varka. Though you weren't raised by Jean, you had a loving family. Your father and brother both worked in the church, and your mom ran a local bakery. How you stumbled into being a knight will forever be a mystery, but, hey, maybe you just like fighting, just like he does.
Which makes you even more attractive to his eyes, and if anyone on Tevyat disagrees, they're gonna catch his hands one way or the other. Because no one insults his wife- sorry fiancĂŠe, and gets away with it.
Yes, you're engaged to this maniac. He really put a ring on it before anyone could even say 'windblume'. Though to the public, you two were just budding lovers.
"I just received a report from Dornman port, we need-" you paused, almost squeaking your boots as you halted, just noticing the figure kneeling in the middle of Jean's office, looking too happy to be there.
(He's just happy he's kneeling in front of you instead of Jean now. And he gets to have a nice view of your legs as well :3 Barbatos must be smiling on his luck today! Can you blame a man for appreciating his lady from a different angle? If it's Lohen, the answer is probably yes.)
"What did he do now?" audibly annoyed at the bullshit he's pulled to get into trouble. Again.
Jean sighed, massaging her temples with her hand now, "The Vice Captain has complaints that his tests are too dangerous and risky to take, so I was explaining to him the importance of keeping the new recruits' morale up while deciding on a punishment."
You nodded, "I see. Well, anyway, the knights from Dornman said- OH MY GOD IS THAT DVALIN ON THE WINDMILL OVER THERE????"
"What? Where?!" Jean panicked, opening the window and leaning out to get a better view.
"What the fuck, Lohen! What did you do that made them snitch on you?" you snapped, whisper-screaming at him now that Jean was distracted.
He shrugged, "I only did what I always do, Liebling, I just poisoned their wines a little, just enough to sedate them, and these idiots drank it. How was I supposed to know they're that big of pussies."
"Oh my Barbatos, you swore you'd never use poison again for your stupid tests again. This is why I don't wear my ring outside," you snapped.
"Excuse me!?" Lohen raised his brow, visibly offended.
"You're excused," you smirked at him, "Anyway, want me to bail you out or something?"
Jean turned back, after searching and not finding the large blue dragon, "I don't see Dvalin outside. Are you sure you saw it here?"
You chuckle awkwardly, "Oops, must've been just a big crane. I really need to get my eyes checked."
"I see. I'll schedule an appointment at the church then, you should get your eyes checked soon. Anyway, about that report you were saying-"
"Was that a jumpty dumpty I saw right there??" Lohen butts in.
This clearly concerned Jean more than the Anemo dragon, as she turned around haphazardly and leaned over the windowsill, almost about to fall over, and yelled, "WHAT?! KLEE!!!"
"You'd bail me out?" he asks expectantly.
You pondered over it for a bit. It wouldn't be hard to ask Jean to let you handle him. Although being her assistant and successor, you also had to act fairly.
"Well, only if you behave and take a minor punishment from me."
"You'd punish me too??" His eyes lit up, he looked as if you had gotten onto your knees and agreed to spar with him using hilichurl batons.
Meanwhile, you stared down at him (not helping the situation, he loves that too) as if he were an invasive pest on Jean's carpet, "âŚ..on Barbatos's name, why did I even say yes to this man."
"Because you love meeeee~" he trilled.
Before you could say anything back to him, you heard Jean's distressed voice as she yelled out the window, "KLEE COME TO MY OFFICE THIS INSTANT!! YOUR DODOCOS WILL BE CONFESTICATED AND YOU ARE GOING BACK IN SOLIDARY CONFINEMENT FOR THE DAY YOUNG LADY!!"
"Yes, Master Jean." A sorrowful child's voice, which you can only assume is your resident Spark Knight, responds back.
"Wait, I thought you just said that just to distract her," you ask.
Seeing as Lohen also looked a little taken aback, it was clear he did not expect Klee to actually be outside, nor did he expect her to actually be causing trouble. "I did, I didn't expect Klee to actually be there. Gonna have to buy a lot of sweets for her again to apologize."
"Yep. Wait, what do you mean again?"
"Anyway, sorry about that." Jean turned around, her migraine now increasing tenfold as she plopped down on the chair. "So about that Dornman Port report?"
"Ah, yes, the Knights said that they needed more manpower for the port as Inazuma has started opening their trade again. We're going to need to send a few Knights there. And here's the full report for that." You stated, stepping forward to ignore your fiancĂŠe, and actually get business done for once.
"Thank you. You can put it on the desk here." She sighed, placing her head in her hands.
You paused, looking at your mentor, and coming up with the best solution for her and Lohen. "You look stressed, Jean. You should take some rest."
"I will. Once I'm done dealing with him, then Klee, then organizing the books with Lisa like I promised her, then send Knights to deal with that Cryo Lavachurl at WindriseâŚ." she ranted on.
You kick Lohen slightly before he could say, "You can send me."
"How about this,' you said, "I canâŚ.deal with this guy, and organise the library while at it, and later I'll evaluate which knights to send to Dornman port, kay?"
Jean shook her head.
"No, no, it'd be too much to ask of you-"
"Jean. I see those eyebags of yours. You haven't been resting well, even after the Traveller dealt with the Dvalin crisis. Come on, trust me a bit more, please? You're not burdening me at all. Promise. I'll do all the tasks perfectly." You pleaded with her.
As much as you were doing this for Lohen, you were doing this for Jean's sake, too. She always had a bad habit of overestimating herself and kept working herself to the bone. An evening off would do her good.
"That's not what I meant- whatever, I suppose a visit to the Angel's Share won't hurt. I'll entrust you with those tasks then."
You perked up, happy that Jean's finally entrusted you with some of her tasks and getting drinks with her friends. "Alright then. I'll come back with a few headache pills later in the evening. Come on, you, let's deal with you first."
"Yes, ma'am!" Lohen chirps, way too happy to be following you.
"At least try not to sound so excited when I'm bailing you out. You should be lucky I was even there in the first place." You scold him once the two of you step out.
"Oh, you have no idea how lucky I think I already am, and every day you keep making me realise how much luckier I can get," he says, hugging you from behind, and planting a few kisses on your cheek.
You blush and try to break away from his grip, not wanting to scar the knights in the hallway to be traumatized with Lohen's PDA. However, you soon gave up when you realised the more you tried to squirm away from him, the more he tightened his grip on you.
You sigh and walk towards the library with a human-sized leech attached to you. "Whatever. Well, let's get down to the library then. Sorting books shouldn't take that long."
"Hey, didn't you say you were gonna deal with me first? What are we doing going to the library?" he asks, still latching onto you.
"I will, I'll deal with you in the library."
He perks up at that and loosens his grip, allowing you to slip away, "Ouuuu are we gonna make out behind the shelves again? Kinky~"
You rolled your eyes. Does this guy think of nothing but thrill?
"Are you an idiot? No. Also, last time we did that, Lisa zapped my butt so hard I couldn't sit on a chair for a whole week. So no, I don't want that again."
"Ah, I thought that was because I spanked you that day. Explains it now. I was worried I actually hurt you." He smirks, giving a few gentle taps to your butt.
Heat creeps up your back as you remember that day. Lohen was particularly worked up, having taken down several Treasure hoarders and Hilichurl camps. He was practically panting the moment he set foot in the headquarters, and when he hunted you down in the library, sorting out expedition maps, he pounced on you and dragged you behind a 'secret bookshelf'.
Lisa eventually found you two, not because you two were making a ruckus (you were trying to keep your voice down for the two of you), but because Lohen was so obscenely loud, his voice kept echoing through the entire room. Both of you got into trouble for that.
Did Lohen learn anything from it? No. He proceeded to take you to his room and fuck you on his mattress, digging his fingers into your skin, and went on to the point where both of you passed out. You were lucky you could even walk the other day (and luckily Lisa didn't tell Jean, otherwise you could never look her in the eye knowing she knows you got caught making out in the library).
"Liar. You were anything but worried. I saw you looking like a smug cat whenever I used to squirm in my seat." You mumbled, turning your face away.
Lohen only smiled at that, "Oh, then will you bash my head with a hardcover book?? Please please please pick the Boar Princess. It has the thickest cover you can bash my skull all you want my queen-"
"Nope, nope, and nope. You will do this while I help Lisa organize the library books."
You led him to a table and sat him down, dumping a bunch of papers in front of him.
"My punishment is.......paperwork?"
"Nope." You say, looking for the Knights of Favonius handbook and slamming it next to the stack of papers.
"Your punishment is to copy the entire handbook three whole times. Including the Index and the Appendix."
"INCLUDING THE INDEX??" he groans, loathing the task already.
"Liebling, please don't do this to me. I'm-I'm begging you. I won't poison another new recruit for the whole year, I promise."
"No can do. You have to do this. Unless....."
He seemed to cheer up at the idea that you thought of another punishment for him. He'd even lie down and let you walk over him a hundred times if that's what it takes.
"Unless what? Go on, anything, but this will suffice. You can even try choking if that's what you want-"
"Sex ban for a month. And I'll let you off."
"WHAT!?" Lohen yells, which earns him a sharp 'shush' and a stare from the resident electro vision-wielding librarian.
You stare him down, smirking at his misery. He deserved this for making you the butt of the joke last time you two were here.
"Iwilldothewriting," he murmurs.
"Hmm? What was that, Vice Captain? Couldn't hear you very well~"
"I said, I will do the writing." He says, sulking and opening up the Favonius handbook.
As much as you enjoyed his misery, you couldn't help but give him something to look forward to. After all, it was your duty as his lover to keep him happy.
You quickly did a sweep of the floor to check for any people who might see, and leaned over the table to get close to his face.
"If you do this and stay out of trouble for today, I'll give you a reward in our room later~" you purred in his ear, delighting in the way you saw him shiver
You stepped away as you head towards Lisa, informing her about Lohen's punishment, and asking about the books she'd like you to help with.
As you follow her upstairs, you feel a similar shiver down your spine, only to turn back and notice a pair of bloodstained eyes, piercing into you in a way only you know means he's undressing you with his eyes.
'Barbatos help me,' you beg to your Archon as you turn around, 'I am absolutely losing my ability to walk tomorrow.'

ALBEDO
You spend a lot of time in Albedo's lab. You're not entirely sure when it started becoming routine, but somewhere between him seeking your presence and you deciding to stay longer than necessary, it just... happened. You'd sit in the corner with a book or just watch him work, the way he moves through his experiments with methodical precision.Â
Today, though, you're in the Favonius library instead. Albedo needed to research something specific, and you went along with him without question. You're sitting at one of the tables while he browses the shelves, pulling down various tomes with focused precision.
Lisa is at the front desk when Albedo brings his stack of books to check them out. You're waiting nearby, and she glances between the two of you with that knowing smile of hers.
"My, my, someone's been spending a lot of time with our dear Chief Alchemist," she says to you, her voice sweet as honey. She's already flipping through the first book. "Taking quite the interest in his work, are we?"
"Just curious," you say, suddenly very aware of how close Albedo is standing.
"Mm, how thoughtful of you." She continues scanning, her eyes flickering up to Albedo for just a moment. "Your lover must appreciate having someone so interested in what he does."
She says it so casually, so mixed in with the mundane task of checking out books, that it takes a moment for the words to actually register. By the time they do, she's already moving on to the next book, completely unbothered.
Albedo pauses. You notice it immediatelyâhis hand stills on the counter, and there's a moment where he seems to be processing something. His gaze drifts to the side, not quite looking at Lisa, not quite looking at you. He's just... considering. Turning the words over in his mind the way he does with everything else.Â
Then, just as quietly as the pause came, he seems to release it. He doesn't correct her. Doesn't say anything at all. Just sets down the remaining books on the counter in that careful way of his.
âOh, uhm,â You begin, looking over at Albedo. âWe, uh, arenât together.â
Lisa glances up, catches something in his expression, and her smile widens slightly. But she says nothing more.
Later, when you're back at the library and Albedo is focused on his research, you find yourself thinking about what Lisa said.
"Do you think I'm a distraction?" you ask casually, not looking up from your book.
Albedo doesn't pause in his work. "No." The answer is immediate. Certain. You turn a page.
"Lisa thinks we're together," you say.
He sets down the vial he held with careful precision. Turns to look at you fully, and for a long moment, he doesn't say anything. His soft, analytical gaze is fixed on you, and the silence stretches outâlong enough that you start to feel uncomfortable, long enough that you begin to wonder if you've said something wrong.
And then, as though he had reached a conclusion so simple and obvious, "Would that be so strange?"
You realise you don't have an answer for that. And more importantly, that perhaps, no, it would not be so strange after all.Â
AYATO
The Kamisato clan commissioner rarely ventured into the markets. Usually, he would have sent either Thoma or one of his other myriad helpers to fetch whatever it was he or Ayaka needed. But, today, perhaps as a change of environmentâaway from the towering paperwork he had to fillâAyato decided to accompany you in your shopping. He always had a peculiar habit of trailing behind you, even when it was unnecessary. You had gotten used to his presence in your life. A shadow. An extremely coy and teasing shadow, that is.Â
Besides, perhaps the presence of the commissioner would snag you a couple of good deals while out and about.Â
You curled a bolt of silk green fabric around your wrist. Pretty, smooth. Ayato peeked over your shoulder, scrutinising the item in so much more detail than you were at all.Â
You turned back to look at him and huffed, a sound of amusement, âWhat, is it not to your liking, Ayato?â
âWell,â he seemed to draw out, catching your eyes. âI hardly think itâs your shade.â
Not your shade? Just as a retort bubbled up in your throat, you were interrupted by the sound of the vendor. âAh, commissioner!â He said. âInterested in imported silks, are you?â
The man seemed to be pulling out more cloth, shades of different coloursâsilver, lavender, pink, blue. His hands moved with practiced efficiency as he laid out the fabrics over the counter. He seemed to be going on and on about where each piece was imported fromâthis one from Liyue, the other a local craftsman from Inazuma, the other cultivated in the meadows of Mondstadt.Â
But then he picked out a specific piece and looked over to Ayato. âIâm sure your lover would look stunning in the deeper blues,â he said. âDoes the lady have a preference, or should we let the commissioner decide?â
You tensed.Â
Lover? And the man had said it so casually, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. You felt your cheeks warm and suddenly you seemed to become all too aware of the little distance between you and Ayato. As though hypersensory, you could feel the way Ayatoâs hands stilled, resting for a moment at your hip. You looked over at him.Â
And yet, there was no change in his expression. If anything, the small smile he had on his face had stretched a fractional amount. His head tilted to the side.Â
âI think she would look rather beautiful,â Ayato said. Simple and casual, his eyes snagging on you for half a second. It was like he hadnât even heard the former part of the sentence. Or, scratch that, like he hadnât heard anything the vendor had just said.Â
The vendor was simply ecstatic to have sold something to the commissioner, andâapparentlyâhis âlover,â and had left to wrap the item.Â
You paused for a second, before turning to the man next to you. âWhat was that?âÂ
Ayato hummed non-commitally as he looked at you. âWhat was what?â He feigned ignorance, that smug idiot. He never missed a single thing. Once you had changed the scent of your perfume from Sakura Bloom to Naku Weed, and he had caught it the moment you stepped into his office; there was no way he hadnât heard that.Â
âHe just called me your lover!â You pressed.Â
Ayato just tilted his head, his fingers tapping against the wooden counter. âYes.â
âAnd you didnât correct him.â
âNo.â
The heat in your face seemed to rise in temperature. Just what exactly was he playing at? Why was he staring at you like this was the most normal thing ever? Was he not bothered? And the way the merchant had said it, too, it was like everyone in the entirety of Inazuma knew about this except for you!
âWhy not?â You asked, growing more shifty by the second.Â
Ayato let out a laugh, a sweet, melodic little sound, âYou didn't seem eager to correct him yourself.â
You opened your mouth to argue, and then closed it again. âW-Well, I was just aboutâbut then, IâŚâ Any and all justification that rose in your throat withered away. Especially when Ayato was staring at you like that. Like he was challenging you to question that assumption, daring you to change it.Â
That day, the two of you walked away having bought an expensive indigo fabric. Matching the Kamisato insignia.
CHILDE
The training grounds were empty except for the two of you. You'd been sparring with Childe for the better part of an hour, and he was still grinning like he was having the time of his lifeâwhich, knowing him, he probably was.
"Your footwork's off," he called out, circling you with that predatory grace he had when he was actually engaged. "You're telegraphing your next move."
"Maybe I want you to know what I'm doing," you shot back, lunging. He sidestepped easily, but you'd anticipated that, spinning to catch him off-guard with a follow-up strike. He blocked it, and the impact sent a jolt up your arm. "Or maybe you're just slow today."
"Slow?" He laughed, and there was an edge to it nowâthe kind that meant he'd stopped holding back. He came at you with a series of quick strikes, testing your reflexes, and you matched him, parry for parry.Â
Your muscles were already burning from the previous rounds, but you pushed anyway because he'd give you that look of approval when you did, that slight nod like you'd passed some invisible test. "You're the one who's slowing down. Your last five moves have been predictable."
"Only because you're boring me," you said, breathing harder now. You twisted away from his next strike, used his momentum against him, and nearly got him off-balance. Nearly. He recovered with infuriating ease, but you caught the flash of something in his expressionâgenuine interest now, not just amusement.
The sparring continued, and at one point, you overextended on a strike. His hand came out to steady you, gripping your arm just above the elbow. It was meant to be instructionalâa correction of your formâbut he held it for a moment, his thumb brushing against your skin before he released you. Neither of you acknowledged it. He just stepped back and said, "Again. Better this time."
You came at him again, and somewhere in the middle of it, there was a moment where he caught your wrist mid-strike. His hand was warm, his grip firm but not painful. He could have thrown you. Instead, he held it for a fraction of a second longer than necessary, and you were close enough to see the slight raise in his eyebrowâa challenge. You twisted your arm, trying to break free, and he let you go with a grin.
"Getting better," he said.
"I've always been good. You're just finally noticing," you replied, and charged at him again.
By the time you both called it, you were both breathing hard. Sweat dripped down your temple, and your arms felt like lead. Childe was still smiling though, that infuriating, easy smile of his that suggested he could do this all day. He grabbed his water bottle, tossed you one, and you caught it easily. The cold water was a relief as you drank, trying to catch your breath.
You were leaning against the nearby pillar, still catching your breath, when you heard voices approaching. Not close yet, but getting closer. You recognized one of them immediatelyâPaimon's high-pitched chatter, and underneath it, Lumine's quieter responses. You didn't think much of it. They were probably just passing through the training grounds on their way somewhere else.
Childe was standing a few feet away from you, already looking refreshed despite the exertion. He had that energy about him, the kind that didn't seem to deplete no matter how hard he pushed himself. He caught you looking at him and raised an eyebrow.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" he asked, already moving toward you.
"Just wondering how you're not completely dead," you said. "Normal people need recovery time."
"I'm not normal people." He stopped beside you, close enough that you could feel the warmth radiating off him. Without any real thought to it, he reached over and fixed a strand of your hair that had come loose during the sparring, tucking it back behind your ear. It was such a casual gesture, the kind of thing he did without thinking. Your breath caught slightly, but he was already pulling his hand back, already grinning at you like he hadn't just done something that made your heart rate pick up for reasons that had nothing to do with the exercise.
"Definitely not normal," you muttered, looking away.
"Hey, Childe! Lumine and I were justâoh!"
You looked up to see Paimon floating toward you both, her expression shifting to something almost knowing as she took in the sight of you two standing close together, both flushed and breathing hard. Lumine followed behind her, her eyes flickering between you and Childe with that quiet observation of hers.
"We were just heading to the Adventurers' Guild," Paimon continued, but there was a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "But wow, looks like you two have been going at it pretty hard. I'm just glad Childe's finally found his special someone! But sheesh, do you have to go that hard on her?"
There was a beat. You opened your mouth to correct her, to clarify whatever assumption she'd just made, but Childe moved first. His arm came around you without hesitation, pulling you against his side in one smooth motion. It was the kind of casual contact you two shared all the time, except it wasn't casual now. Not the way he was looking at Paimon, not the way his hand rested at your hip like it belonged there.
"Yeah, well," he said, his voice easy and warm, "took me long enough to find someone worth the effort."
Lumine's lips curved into the faintest smile. "That's one way to put it," she said, and there was definitely something knowing in her tone.
You felt your face flush. You pushed against his chest, your hand flat against the fabric of his shirt.
"You're insane," you said, but you were already laughing despite yourself, despite the way your heart was doing backflips.
Paimon giggled, seeming satisfied with whatever she thought she'd figured out, and Lumine gave you both a small wave before they continued on their way. You watched them go, still half-pressed against Childe's side, and the moment they were out of earshot, you pushed away from him properly.
"You want to enlighten me on what you were implying there?" you asked, turning to face him.
Childe's grin was still there, but something underneath it had shifted. He wasn't quite looking at you directly, was instead focused on something past your shoulder, his expression caught between amusement and something you couldn't quite read.
"Was I implying something?" he said, but there was no real teasing in it now.
"You just told them we're together."
He finally looked at you then, and his expression was softer than you'd expected. Still smiling, but there was something real behind itâsomething that made your stomach twist in a way that had nothing to do with the sparring.
"And?" he said softly. "I wasn't lying though, was I?"
KAEYA
You'd been coming to the tavern with Kaeya for weeks now. It started innocuously enoughâhe'd asked if you wanted a drink after a particularly grueling shift, and you'd said yes mostly because you were too tired to say no. Somewhere along the way, it became routine. Every few nights you'd find yourself at the counter with him, and he'd order for you without asking. He always got it right, which was irritating in its own way.
Tonight was like any other night. You were sitting at your usual spot, the one that had somehow become your spot, when someone approached. One of the regularsâa member of the Adventurerâs Guildâsomeone you'd seen around enough times to recognize but not enough to know by name.
"Kaeya," the man slurred, leaning against the bar. "Your girlfriend's looking particularly radiant tonight."
You felt your spine stiffen slightly. Girlfriend. The word hung there for a moment, waiting to be corrected.Â
You looked over at Kaeya, waiting for him to say something, to clarify, to do whatever it was he normally did when people made assumptions. But he just smiled. That easy, lazy smile of his.Â
"Isn't she always?" he said, and the man laughed like it was the most charming thing he'd ever heard, and walked away.
You stared at your drink. The ice was melting slowly, diluting the amber liquid into something weaker.
"You could've corrected him," you said, looking over at him with barely concealed flustered confusion.
"Could have," Kaeya agreed. He wasn't looking at you, was instead focused on something across the bar with that detached amusement he wore like a second skin. "Didn't seem worth the effort."
You let it go. It was small enough, harmless enough. Kaeya was always like thisâplaying into characters, scenarios, whatever amused him in the moment. And besides, this was the tavern. People were drunk, made assumptions, barely thought twice about anything. Everything Kaeya said carried that thin veneer of humor, that deliberate lightness that suggested nothing he did was ever meant to be taken seriously. This must have been yet another attempt at his particular brand of entertainment, or maybe an effort to fluster you. Which you weren't falling for. Obviously.
But a few days later, he suggested dinner at Good Hunter's. You'd gone, mostly because you were hungry and he was there. Sara smiled when she saw you two sit down underneath the parasol.Â
âMaybe the both of you would like a seat thatâs more private instead?â She had suggested. Your face erupted into flames when she suggested that. And although you tried to correct it, Kaeya had already confirmed, and you found yourself in a shaded area to the side. The kind of area that everyone implicitly agreed was for honeymooning couples.Â
You sat across from him, irritated, and tried to focus on your food. Kaeya, for his part, seemed entirely unbothered. He ate with deliberate slowness, and at one point he leaned across the table, his eye catching yours with a particular brand of teasing softness.
"You're scowling," he said, like it was an observation about the weather.
"I'm not scowling."
"You are." He reached over and tapped your forehead with one finger. "Right here."
You pulled back, but he'd already retreated, that infuriating smile still in place.
By the time you were walking back through the city, your irritation had crystallized into something sharper. Something that demanded to be addressed.
"What are you doing?" you asked, stopping abruptly in the middle of the street.
"Walking," Kaeya said simply. "Same as you."
"Don't be difficult. Everyone keeps thinking we're together and you're not correcting them. You're actuallyâ" you gestured vaguely at the space between you, "âplaying into it."
He was quiet for a moment. Then he laughed, that low, warm sound that always seemed to come from somewhere deeper than his chest. When he looked at you, there was something in his expression you couldn't quite place. Something that felt almost like he'd been waiting for you to notice.
"I think you like it more than you're willing to admit," he said softly. His eye was half-lidded, that familiar amusement still there, but underneath it was something else. Something that made your chest feel tight. "The question is whether I should keep pretending not to notice."
He was already walking ahead, already moving past you with that lazy stride of his, and you were left standing there, flushed and furious and unable to quite articulate why his assumption felt less like teasing and more like he'd read something in you that you weren't ready to show him.
Damn Kaeya.
LOHEN
The training grounds were filled with apprentice knights, all watching intently as you explained the formation they'd be running through. Lohen stood beside you, arms crossed, and you could already feel the restlessness radiating off him like heat.
"This is boring," he said, not bothering to lower his voice. "Just let them fight something real."
"They need to understand positioning first," you replied firmly, not even looking at him. "We're not sending them into the field unprepared."
"Unprepared is half the fun," he said, and you heard the grin in his voice.
You turned to face him. "You know what? Not everyone gets a thrill from almost dying."
"Their loss," he said, and there was something playful in his eyes, something that suggested he enjoyed getting a rise out of you. One of the younger apprentices nudged their friend, both of them watching the exchange with barely concealed amusement.
"This is why we have strategy," you continued, turning back to the group. "Lohen charges in andâ"
"And it works," he interjected.
"And you get lucky," you corrected.
He laughed, "Lucky. Right. That's what we're calling it."
The training started smoothly enough. The apprentices moved through the formations you'd drilled into them, and you were positioned to observe and correct. Lohen was supposed to be doing the same, but his attention kept drifting, his foot tapping with barely contained energy. You could see him watching the apprentices with the kind of hunger that meant he was already bored. At one point, you caught him staring at you instead of the recruits, and when you raised an eyebrow in question, he just grinned wider.
After about an hour, one of the younger recruits approached as you and Lohen were standing together reviewing the performance. The recruit was still catching their breath, clearly impressed by how well the formation had held.
"It's lucky that the two of you are paired together," they said, glancing between you both. There was genuine respect in their voice. "Aren't the two of you together?"
The moment those words left the apprenticeâs mouth, you could see something wicked shine in Lohenâs eyes. You opened your mouth to clarify, but Lohen moved before you could. He crossed the distance between you in a few strides and pulled you against his side, his arm wrapping around your waist like it had always belonged there. Your face went hot immediately, but he was looking at you with that chaotic grin of his, like he'd just been handed the best entertainment of his day.
"And she's the only person who could ever keep up with me," he said, loud and theatrical, and you could tell he was leaning into it now, performing for the apprentices. You felt your cheeks burn as you realized what he was doing, deliberately making a show of it, spinning this into something bigger just to see you get flustered. The manic energy was at full throttle, and he was clearly enjoying every second of your embarrassment.
Your face went hotter. One of the apprentices bit their lip to keep from smiling, while another looked away, clearly uncomfortable with the display. But most of them were watching with interest, waiting to see what would happen next.
"Lohenâ" you started, trying to extract yourself, but he didn't let go. His grip on your waist was firm, not painful, just insistent.
"And she's brilliant," he continued, spinning you slightly so he could look at you properly. His hand was still on your back, and he was looking at you with an intensity that made your breath catch. "Everything I'm not. Everything that keeps me from getting killed in a ditch somewhere." There was something underneath the chaos when he said it, something that suggested he meant it more than he was letting on. A few of the recruits exchanged glances, and one of them smiled knowingly.
"You'd be lost without her," one of the bolder apprentices called out, earning a few quiet laughs from the others.
"Completely lost," Lohen agreed, but there was something in the way he said it that wasn't entirely joking. For just a moment, the manic energy seemed to settle, and he looked at you like you were the only thing in the training grounds that mattered. "Actually, yeah. I would be."
Then he released you, and the chaos returned. He was already moving away, already tossing some comments to the apprentices about formation angles, leaving you standing there flustered and hyperaware of every eye on you.
The rest of the training passed in a blur of corrections and positioning. By the time you finally dismissed the apprentices, your face had only just stopped burning. Lohen was already collecting his things, and you found yourself watching him move with that restless energy of his, wondering what he'd actually meant in that moment when everything had seemed to pause.
THOMA
You were sitting in one of the Kamisato estate's quieter rooms, mending a tear in one of the ceremonial clothes when Thoma appeared with tea. He set it down beside you without asking and settled into the seat across from you.
"That's going to take forever," he said, watching you work the needle through the delicate fabric.
"Only if I rush," you replied, concentrating on your stitching. "You taught me that."
He smiled at that, leaning back and watching you work. It was comfortable, the kind of silence that didn't need filling. You'd been coming to this room more often lately, always finding some reason to be here. Mending. Reading. Just sitting. And somehow Thoma always seemed to find his way in.
After a while, he got up and moved to sit beside you instead. He didn't ask permission. He just shifted closer until his shoulder nearly touched yours. He picked up a different piece that needed mending and started working on it without preamble.
"You're still doing that stitch wrong," he said after a while, no judgment in his voice.
"I know," you said, not bothering to correct yourself. "But you always fix it for me anyway."
He smiled, and you swore you could see the pupils of his green eyes dilate a fractional amount. His hand came over yours, guiding the needle through the proper motion. His fingers were warm, and he moved slowly, making sure you understood. When he pulled back, you found yourself missing the contact.
You worked like that for a long time. Sometimes he'd hum something soft under his breath. Sometimes you'd ask him about his day, and he'd answer while still focused on the mending. At one point, you reached for more thread at the same moment he did, and your hands brushed. Neither of you moved away. You both just continued working, shoulders close, existing together in the quiet of the afternoon.
"You're thinking too hard," he said once, glancing at your face.
"How can you tell?"
"You get this little crease," he said, reaching over and smoothing it away with his thumb. It was such a gentle gesture that you forgot to breathe for a moment.
You were so focused on the mending that you didn't notice when Ayaka appeared in the doorway. She had a few attendants with her, but she stopped when she saw the two of you sitting close together, heads bent over the work, your shoulders nearly touching.
"Oh, there you two are," she said warmly. "I've been meaning to mention something." Thoma looked up, and you followed his gaze.
"There's a couples' festival coming up at the end of the month," Ayaka continued, her tone genuinely kind.Â
"I thought perhaps you two might enjoy attending together. It would be nice for you to have some time away from the estate."
You felt your face warm. Thoma's reaction was immediate. His entire face flushed a deep red, from his neck all the way to his ears. He set down the cloth quickly, maybe too quickly, like he needed something to do with his hands.
"Oh, we'reâ" he started, his voice slightly strained. He cleared his throat, and when he spoke again, he was trying for his usual politeness, but the fluster was unmistakable. "We're not actually together, Lady Ayaka. We just spend a lot of time together because of work, that's all."
The correction was gentle, the way everything Thoma did was gentle. But there was something in the way his hands gripped the cloth a little too tightly, the way he wouldn't quite meet Ayaka's eyes, that made your chest tighten. One of the attendants looked faintly disappointed.
Ayaka's expression softened with understanding, and she nodded. "I see. My apologies for the misunderstanding." She excused herself politely, and the moment she left, the room felt smaller somehow.
You picked up your mending again, but your hands felt clumsy. Thoma did the same, but neither of you were really focused on the work anymore. The ease you'd had before was gone, replaced by something tense and uncertain. The afternoon light filtered through the screens, and the silence stretched between you, heavy with things unsaid.
When the sun started to set and you finally set down your work, Thoma was already moving. You said something soft to break the tension, just to ease it.
"That was kind of awkward," you said quietly, not quite looking at him.
He paused, his hand lingering on the cloth. You could see him turn it over in his mind, searching for something.
"I didn't mean to be rude," he said, finally meeting your eyes. "She was just... it caught me off guard."
"I know," you said, offering him a small smile. "It's fine. These things happen."
He looked at you for a long moment, and there was something in his expression that made your breath catch. Something that looked like regret, like he was reconsidering something he'd just said.
"Actually," he said, and his voice was steadier now, "about that festival."
You looked at him, waiting.
"It might not be a bad idea," he continued, and there was a careful consideration to his words, like he was choosing each one deliberately. "For us to attend together, I mean. Not because anyone thinks we should. But because..." He paused, searching for the right words. "Because I'd like to spend that evening with you. If you'd want to."
Your breath caught slightly. There was nothing casual about the way he said it, despite how carefully he was choosing his words. There was intention there, and something that looked a lot like hope.
"Yeah," you said softly. "I'd like that."
VENTI
Venti had dragged you out to yet another performance. You weren't sure why he felt the need to do thisâinvite you specifically, stand you in a particular spot in the crowd where he could see you, like your presence mattered to the mechanics of him playing. But he'd shown up at your door this morning with his elfish smile and asked if you were busy. A pointless question, really. He would have begged and whined until you relented had you said no.Â
On the way to the fountain, he'd been insufferable. He kept humming fragments of melodies, stopping abruptly to ask your opinion on them, then laughing at your answers like you'd said something hilarious when you were just trying to be helpful. At one point he'd grabbed your wrist and spun you around on the street for no reason, just to see your expression, probably.
"You're going to make me dizzy," you laugh, pulling your hand back.
"Is that a complaint, windblume?" he asked, and there was something in his tone that suggested he already knew the answer.
"Yes," you lied.
He had just smiled like he could see right through you.
Now, standing near the fountain while he set up, you watched him adjust his lyre with great care; the kind of care reserved for especially special things in oneâs life. Which, for Venti, was music andâyou were noticing more and moreâyou.Â
He kept glancing over at you, making sure you were in the right spot, making sure you could see him properly. You found it funny, it was almost like a nervous tick. A flick of his gaze to you every few seconds to make especially sure that you had your eyes on him. It was unnecessary. Of course you could see him. You were always looking at him anyway.
Another bard approached as Venti was finishing his setupâsomeone you recognized vaguely from around the city. They exchanged greetings, the kind of easy familiarity that suggested they knew each other from the musician's circles. You turned your attention back to the fountain, not really listening until the other bard said something that made you tune back in.
"Your recent stuff has been different," he was saying to Venti. "All of it sounds like it's about the same person."
You felt something shift in your chest. His recent stuff? You hadn't really paid that much attention, if you were being honest. But now that it was being pointed out, you found yourself wondering if that was true.Â
You'd been hearing him play new things lately, pieces you hadn't heard before, and now you were suddenly wondering who they were about.
The bard glanced over at you, then back at Venti, and you watched something click into place behind his expression.
"That your muse?" he asked, gesturing vaguely in your direction.
Venti laughed. It was the kind of laugh that made people turn their heads, that seemed to move through the air like something physical. He spunâactually spun, his coat catching the lightâand when he looked at you, there was something deliberate in the movement.
"The best one I've ever had," he said, and he was looking directly at you when he said it.
Your face went hot. The other bard laughed too, charmed, and the conversation continued between them, but you weren't really listening anymore. You were stuck on that phrase, on the way Venti had said it, on the realization that apparently his recent compositions had been about you and you'd been too oblivious to notice.
An hour later, after the performance was over and you'd managed to slip away, you found yourself at the tavern. You were nursing a drink when Venti sat down beside you. He waved a hand to the bartender, and Charles just sighedâa routine. And then Ventiâs gaze was fixed on you.
"You've been thinking about what I said," he observes.
"I haven't," you say, which is a lie and you both know it.
"Mm." He's amused. You can hear it in his voice. "That's exactly why youâve been zoning out since my performance?â He had that teasing lilt in his voice. You wanted to puncture his voice box.Â
"You can't just say something like that and expect me not toâ" you start, then stop because you're not actually sure what you're going to say. Expect you not to what? Wonder if he meant it? Wonder what it means? Wonder if you're reading too much into it?
"Not to what?" Venti prompts, and there's that tilt of his head again, that soft amusement in his expression.
"You know what," you snap, trying not to sound flustered.Â
Venti, all he does is laugh. You really want to puncture his voice box.Â
warnings: readerâs wrist is accidentally sprained from being grabbed too hard
You could hear scuttling from somewhere else in the garden, an estate more than sizable enough than the game afoot.
You were under the distinct impression though that the bats and birds are playing with you similar to how they would a child. Slower, weaker, and less experienced than the big kids. You weren't complaining though. Because, frankly, it was stressful. They tend to operate more like theyâre in a warzone than a game, you felt like you were about to be sniped out at any second.
Rightfully so, apparently, seeing how silently Stephanie had crept up on you.
âHey,â Stephanie hissed, ignoring the way you jumped. âWeâre doing alright for ourselves,â she said smugly.Â
âYeah,â youâd nodded, like you agreed with her more than you probably did.Â
âOkay listen, I think the flagââ what flag? ââis by the fountain so, I think because thereâs three of us and two of them, we should bait-and-switch.â
âWeâre on teams?â you asked, no longer completely sure you know what youâre playing.Â
âWe are now!â she smiled, starting to run. âIâll bait!â
She stopped briefly in her tracks and turned back to you hissing, âDonât trust Cass,â before scurrying away.
Rather than sit around and wait there forâŚsomething?...to happen, you jumped up darting in the opposite direction with little to no indication whether this is a good move.
What you didnât see is Cass rapidly approaching from your rear.Â
What you also didnât see was Dick crouched down in a row of shrubbery, which gave him the perfect opportunity to snatch your arm up and yank you down with him. Youâd mewled a bit as your wrist made contact harshly with the grass, immediately buckling under you.
Cass was keen to your pain immediately, slowing her sprint to a stroll as she observed you.
âAre you okay?â she signs.
âYeah, yeah, Iâm good.âÂ
The response was instinctual and you didnât actually have time to register whether or not you were okay by the time you gave it.Â
You pushed up on your elbows, trying to figure out whether Dick is even on your team, but the way the others approached had you halting consideration. Theyâre savvy to the situation at a speed in which you can only attribute to their vigilantism, looking at you with concern.Â
âYou good?â Tim asked, approaching languidly.
âThat looked like it hurt,â Cass commented, crouching down next to you to see your wrist better.
Dick shook his head, âNo, sheâs okay.â He turned to you, prodding, âYouâre okay.â
âYeah, Iâm, umâŚâ you winced, looking at your wrist. âIt hurts a little.â
Cass examined it closely, tilting it gently to the side. âIt might be sprained.â
Dick paled.Â
âNo.â
Tim pointed a thumb back towards the manor, âWe can get it wrapped upstairs.â
âNo.â
You were only then able to clock the barely contained grin on Stephanieâs face, begging to break. Â
âOoooh. Heâs gonna kill you.â
Cass had then kindly offered to take you inside and wrap it up for you, which you accepted, unexpecting of the plus-one of Dick trailing behind you like a guilty puppy all the while.
âYou know I didnât mean to grab you that hard right? IââÂ
Cass laughs quietly as she wraps the bandage around your wrist, amused by Dickâs now-third explanation/apology for the incident.Â
âI know, Dick,â you say, trying to appease him.Â
âIâm sorry,â he tells you genuinely, but you can tell thereâs more there that he isnât verbalizing.
You nod, âI know, Dick. Itâs okay. It was just an accident.â
Cass pins the wrapping in place securely and with a smile, signs to you that sheâs all done.Â
You rotate your arm a bit, testing your movement under the wrap. As Cass leaves with the first aid kit, Dick remains sat at your side, leg thumping up and down.
He takes a deep breath, âWhat ifâŚwhat if you avoid him until it heals?â
âDick.â
He takes your uninjured hand in his with urgency in his eyes.
He looks down at your jointed hands before loosening his already mild grip significantly.
âAre you going to tell him?â he asks, looking like heâs bracing for bad news.
You shake your head sympathetically, âNo. I canât guarantee you that he wonât find out, but I wonât tell him.â
Dick takes a deep breath, looking at the ground with intense focus. âOkay. Okay.â He stands, âI need to go.â
You watch in amused bewilderment as he staggers out the door, looking around frantically.Â
Within the next few minutes, he creates and enacts his plan A. He walks into the living room, sitting down next to a very disinterested Tim, eyes forward and serious.
âIâll give you two grand right now if you tell him it was you.â
Tim barks out, âAbsolutely not.â He looks at his brother, still laughing. âNo fucking way.â
Dick breaks the serious facade immediately, looking at him. âFive.â
A deadpan from Tim.Â
âYou donât have five thousand dollars.â
Dick throws his head back, back thudding against the couch. âDude, please! Heâll kill me!â
Tim scoffs, âHeâd kill me!â
Dick huffs, âNo, itâs different for me! Do you have any idea how many times he told me not to do that?âÂ
âWell then it sounds like you fucked up,â Tim sneers.
âOh my God.â
He takes off again, combing through different rooms in the house with hope of finding a quick but effective hiding place for, say, the next twenty years?
He bursts through the study, unwittingly interrupting Bruce and Alfred having a discussion over tea.
The latter sits up with a tense brow, âMaster Dick?â
The former turns around in his seat, âWhatâs the matter?â
Dick struggles for a second before confessing, âI accidentally sprained someone's wrist.âÂ
Bruce scans his face slowly, nodding. âAlrightâŚyouâll have to take responsibility for their patrol dutiesââ
Dick cuts him off with a sharp breath, âSaid person doesnât have any patrol duties to be affected...â
Bruce processes for a moment before shaking his head.
âI canât help you.â
Dickâs panic takes over again, prompting him to continue his scurry through the room, towards the other door.
Alfred interrupts his process with a very logical argument, âYou donât think running away will make this worse, Master Dick?â
âIâI donât know!â Dick whines, stopping in his tracks. âI donât know what to do!â
Bruce purses his lips, gesturing, âDick, when you make a mistakeâŚyou have to submit to the consequences, you know that.â
Dick gapes, âThis is not a normal consequence!â
Meanwhile, youâve busied yourself with fiddling with the knick knacks and mementos lining the shelves of Jasonâs childhood bedroom.Â
Youâre admiring a picture of him and Alfred from when he was young as the door creaks open behind you.Â
âSweetheart?â Your boyfriend calls out, head barely poked in through the crack.
âHey, Jay,â you smile, setting the picture frame back on the shelf.
He enters fully, covered in motor oil and grease, and smiles his sweet, easy smile when he sees you.Â
Moving onto the next trinket on the shelf, you pick up a stuffed animal placed intentionally at the front. Your gaze finds the mirror, watching his reflection as he pulls the stained shirt off his back.Â
You smile to yourself, noticing the way his back muscles flex as he adjusts. âHowâs the bike?â
âBetter than it was this morning,â he sighs. âWhereâve you been?â
He turns around to look at you, taking easy steps towards you.Â
You return the toy elephant to its place, moving to face him. âUh, we were outside, playingâŚat least three separate games at once.â
The second youâre in proximity, your hands join like itâs second nature.Â
He nods, all too familiar with the familyâs unique methods of gamefair.
âDid thââ He looks down at your intertwined hands, brow furrowing as soon as he spots the bandage wrapped around your wrist. âWhat happened?â
You glance down, shrugging. âOverexerted myself playing tag.â
He looks at you skeptically, but says nothing about it.
He turns your hand over gently, asking, âIs it sprained?â
You nod, relaxed. âYeah. Cass said itâs mild.â
âDoes it still hurt?â
âNo,â you say, sweeping his hair back with your other hand. âBarely hurt then.â
He nods, but he doesnât look satisfied with the conversation.
Regardless, he turns away again, shuffling through a drawer for a clean shirt.Â
âYou, uh, you wanna stay for dinner tonight?â he asks, pulling his arms through, his head following.Â
âYeah,â you say gaily. âAlfred said heâs making his âspecial spaghettiâ, apparently itâs a household favorite?â
He wavers, halfway to between decisions. âYeahâŚâ
He huffs quietly, turning back to face you fully. âCan I see it?â
You nod, happy to ease his mind.Â
You start to unwrap the bandaging, him doing half the work for you. The work is done silently until your wrist is exposed, revealing your bruised skin.
You both see it at the same timeâthe hand-shaped bruise wrapped around your wrist.
Youâre both quiet for a secondâhim putting pieces together and you waiting for the shoe to drop.
He takes off suddenly, clearly having come to a likely very accurate conclusion about what had happened.
âFucking idiotââ
You try for his hand but heâs out of reach before you can grab it.
âIâll be right back,â he grumbles behind him.
âJasonââ you sigh, âAt least help me wrap it back up first.â
He hesitates, halfway to the door, ultimately returning to you in defeat. He takes your forearm gently, scanning it over again before beginning to wrap it.
You watch his face closely, noting the clear vexation. âIt was just an accident,â you tell him.Â
He scoffs, âIt better have been.â
You drop your shoulders and lull your head to the side. âJason. Iâm not made of glass, you canât expect other people to act like it.â
âI donât. I expect him to mind his own strength, and if he canât do that, he needs to keep his fucking hands to himself.â
You sigh, âJust donât do anything harsh. Please. I think heâs worried youâre gonna punch him.â
âHe should be,â he says shortly. He finishes off the wrapping, pinning it in place firmly.Â
You grab onto his forearm before he can pull away, âYouâre not going to. Right?â
He doesnât answer so you try to make his gaze meet yours, âRight?â
His eyes roll, âYeah, fine.â
You smile, holding his face. âI love you.â
He huffs as though heâs inconvenienced, but confesses the obvious truth nonetheless. âI love you.â
He looks you in the eye, face serious. âYou promise me it doesnât hurt?â
âI promise,â you nod, brushing your fingers against his palm.
âDick!â
The angry voice bellows through the tall halls of the manor, heavy footsteps thudding.
He stomps into the living room, Tim, Cass, and Stephanie watching the entryway with wide eyes.Â
âWhere is he?â
Unwitting shoulders shrug and heads shake. Truthfully, at that. Dick, smartly, did not tell anyone where he was hiding.Â
Jason scans the trios faces, looking for any sign of apprehension.
He clocks the grin shamelessly plastered across his sister's face quickly. âStephanie?â
âI donât know,â she says honestly. âBut let me know when you find him, I wanna seeââ
But Jasonâs moving onto the next room before she can get the last words out.
He enters the dining room, looking right to left before finding his target, halfway to stuffing himself behind the fine china cabinet in the corner.
Thereâs a brief, tense moment in between where the pair realize what theyâre seeing and when Dick sets off in a sprint towards the kitchen, Jason quick on his tail.Â
âReally? Really?â Jason shouts.Â
âIt was an accident! It was a fuckingââÂ
He narrowly dodges a swipe from Jason, then ducking before a ladle could make contact with his head.
âAre you stupid? Are you the dumbest motherfââ
Dick rounds the kitchen island as fast as possible, Jason testing him on the other side.
Dick takes a breath, âDude, itâs fine now, itâs not that big of aââ
Jason recoils, ââItâs not a big dealâ? Come here. Let me sprain your wrist, asshole!â
He circles the counter quicker than the elder boy can think to move away and lunges at him.Â
Dick throws his hands up in front of him, âWait, wait, wait! Truce! Truce! Truce?â
Jason drops his shoulders, leveling his older brother with a look. âYou canât call a truce if youâre the only one who did anything wrong.â
âIâŚâ It doesnât take him long to piece together that his defense makes no sense, so he resorts to his last option.Â
âPlease?â Dick asks, nothing short of imploring.Â
Jason relentsâslightlyâupon hearing his brother's tone, but still finds it in him to shove him, though not nearly as hard as heâd been planning to.Â
âI told you a hundred fucking times not to grab her so hardââÂ
Dick nods heavily, waving a hand. âI know, I knowââ
âClearly you fucking donât!â Jason shouts. He huffs, running a hand over his face. âYou sprained her wrist. Youâve been doing this vigilante shit for fifteen years, how do you still not fucking know how to control your own strength?â
Dick grimaces, âI do! I do, I just screwed up, Iâm sorry!â
âDonâtââ Jason narrowly holds back a scowl, âDid you apologize to her?â
 âYeah, of course I did!â
For a split second, Jason looks ready to keep arguing before purposefully dropping the anger from his body.Â
The resulting relief almost drowns Dick.
It only lasts a moment though, before Jason looks at him again, sneering, âIdiot,â before pushing him once more.Â
âJason.â
Your voice has Jason dropping all turbulence in an instant. He and Dick both whip their heads towards the door, equally unexpecting of the interruption.Â
You tilt your head at your boyfriend with a knowing but disappointed stare.
He looks back at you like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar, lips parted.
âI didnât hit him.â

You confront Zanka about him leaving you in bed extremely early, not knowing that he's been going through it. Figuratively and literally.

wc: 5.5k (I got EXTREMELY carried away đ)
all characters are aged up
Zanka has been in a real predicament these days.
He has some ideas on when it started happening, he swears to his life that the reason behind Zanka's pain is the continuous nights of you sleeping in his room.
Not that he minds though, Zanka absolutely loves it whenever you sleep over his sometimes, cuddling to sleep with you is one of his favourite additional parts of his meticulous night routine (even if he won't say it outloud).
But the thing is, Zanka has... Zanka's been getting morning wood every time you decide to sleep over. Waking up in cold sweat very early in the morning just to see his raging erection over the blanket. And that happens like what? four times a week? That's a bit concerning, no? Well, it's also insanely embarrassing, Zanka would have to fight the urge to bury himself six feet underground at the thought of getting caught by his lover, jerking off in the bathroom first thing in the morning like the pervert he thinks he is.
Naturally, Zanka obviously can't control it. But he swears that if he can, a hundred percent he would've done it already. He feels really bad about it too.
It gets even worse when one quiet night, you tell him the cause of your frequent sleepovers.
"Zanka?"
"Mhm... Yeah?" he hummed beneath you, shifting slightly to raise his head that was buried onto your neck. You stared at his deep blue irises for a bit, his cheek now squished on your plane of your shoulder while his eyes were as wide as ever, looking up at you.
You sigh out, Fingers fiddling with his tassel earrings. "The thing is.. I can't really sleep well in my room these days, but when I sleep over here with you, I'm able to sleep peacefully. I think it's because my body feels at ease in your presence"
After a moment of silence, Zanka blinks. He didn't reply or say anything but before you fill the awkwardness, he suddenly lifts your torso up with his arms that were tangled up on your waist.
Now sitting on his bed, you get a good look at Zanka's state. His features are now illuminated by the moonlight that seeped through his blinds. Zanka was undoubtedly flushed from his neck to his ears, his funky eyebrows now scrunched with his lips in a small pout.
"If that's the case, then... Then ya can sleep in my room whenever ya want. Wellâ if it'll make ya feel better, I ain't gotta problem with it" Zanka murmured, his eyes shifting to yours and down his fingers fidgeting with your own. Still, the bashfulness remains in his face, Zanka would be lying to himself if he said that his heart's not beating a million times per minute because of your words right now.
In the midst of you, and Zanka's sweet little moment, one heavy line you dropped felt like a vinyl scratch. A sad frown was evident on your face, Zanka felt his heart drop to his ass.
"Then why do you leave me in bed so early?"
"Iâ"
"Is there some important activity you can't tell that you'd sneak out on me? In the crack of dawn?"
Zanka has never been this paler. His adams apple bobbed as his brain scrambled to decide on which words are right and which would lead to your relationship's demise. It's also ten times more difficult when an annoyed expression is apparent on his girlfriend's face.
He huffed out, a palm covering half of his face in shame, "Promise me ya won't laugh"
You raised an eyebrow at him, but decided to hear your distressed boyfriend out. "Sure. Go on"
Zanka exhaled dramatically, "I... I've.." he sighs for the nth time. "for some reason, every time we sleep together, I always wake up with a damn boner" oh God he actually said it. You're probably gonna think he's weird and perverted, a creep who can't keep his dick in his pantsâ
Soft giggles interrupted Zanka's train of thought. He can't believe it, he takes a peek from the gaps of his fingers. Your head lowers down, a hand muffling your mouth as a horrible attempt to save Zanka's pride.
Zanka could only fall back into the sheets in distraught. Both hands are now covering his face, your laughs still ringing in his flushed ears certainly did not help.
After a few more cackles on his demise, you crawl up at Zanka's body. Now leaning onto him with arms supporting you up, "Zan-zan? look baby, I'm sorry for laughing" you softly murmur, trying to lure Zanka out. The only response you got is his fingers twitching, but you've never met anyone as stubborn as your boyfriend. He refused to give in, the hands are still glued to his face. "Say something? Please?" this time, you purred on his ear, fully laying on top of him.
That seemed to do the trick
You knew he'd fold easily with a teensy bit of pressure. But the brat avoided eye contact, his head now in the opposite direction of your face. A little more push would surely bring him back.
Bringing a hand to grab his chin, he complied with no resistance, blue orbs now staring back at you. Faces centimeters away, Zanka's stuttering warm breath fans over your lips.
A smile formed on your face, "you're so cute"
You closed the gap between your lips, gently connecting them. It never fails to amuse you at the perfect fit of your lips with his, always feels like both of you were made for each other. The soft yet sensual pace made Zanka's head swirl, accidentally slipping out a moan on your lips in which you greedily swallow down. He feels like exploding.
Your fingers ghost over his wrists, feeling his pulse under your thumb made you grin a little. Having your usually cocky boyfriend under you like this felt euphoric. Obviously, you're continuing this til he breaks.
"Darlin'â" You barely give Zanka any time to talk nor breathe as your lips crashes back on him. Tilting your head to get a deeper angle, tongue sliding against his, Zanka was now only mindlessly obeying your ministrations, the warmth of your mouth is slowly melting him from the inside, the way your tongue swirls with his tenderly is making him weak in the knees, no doubt that you can feel his throbbing and already leaking cock twitching beneath you.
With that being said, your hips rolled down at the tent of his pants, Zanka choked on his moans, literally. The almost violent coughs prompted you to quickly break the kiss, finally giving the poor guy some air.
"Heyâ oh my goodness, Zanka breathe!"
A hand surged panicked taps on his chest as if it'll do something to his choking. But with a shaky exhale, his breathing returned to normal.
You laughed dryly at his state, "You're such an idiot, Zan-Zan"
"am not!" he coughed out
It's not everyday that you're blessed with this sight of Zanka, laying beneath you, a soft shade of pink painting his cheeks, lips now chaffed, damp and shiny from spit. He looks so cute like this, so pliant.
Your hips started moving once more, "You know, you honestly could've just woken me up if your dick's bothering you every morning"
Zanka's eyebrows pinched together, mewling slightly as he tried to match the slow grinding.
"C-can't, ya always looked so peaceful sleeping. I can't get myself toâ Mnghâ! Can't get myself to wake ya up jus' 'cause I'm horny" Zanka clawed the sheets when you started to quicken your hips, his moans are getting louder, getting needier.
Low sighs have also been escaping your parted lips, the delicious friction was starting to get to you. "Yeah? How sweet of you. Good boys deserve to be rewarded right?" you coo at him. The slut nodded eagerly, tears now forming on his eyes.
"Yes! Please I've been s'good to ya!" he croaked out, voice now strained from his continuous wailing.
You put a halt to your movements, giving Zanka one final kiss to the cheek to cut his complaints off before scrambling your hand down to free his aching cock.
With his tip already leaking like a faucet combined with your slick, sliding down on him was a smooth task. You place your hands on Zanka's chest for leverage, he has his own on your thighs, unintentionally gripping them. A tiny whine left your lips, having him in this position is making you lightheaded
"So deep.." you muster before rolling your hips, picking up a steady pace, the sound of skin slapping was almost deaf to your ears due to your needy moans and Zanka's whimpering. The curve of his pulsing cock was hitting the sweet spots inside you, your eyes rolled back.
You whine out Zanka's name, your bouncing getting sloppier, focusing more on chasing your release. "Z-zan, haahâ feels so good, so good for me baby" your voice weak from your consistent noises, but still, your praises drove Zanka to the edge.
His hands travel to your waist to help your already aching thighs, his hips pistoning up to meet yours. Your cunt squeezed around him tightly, earning a hiss from Zanka and an urge to thrust up his lower body faster. "Nghâ! just like that, keep going baby!" You can feel your orgasam tumbling closer, feeling it build up as you meet Zanka's thrusts. His hands are definitely leaving marks.
You can also feel Zanka's nearing his peak, the steady rhythm of his thrusts stutter and get more desperate. He also somehow got louder, moans turning into shouts. Zanka cries out, "Iâ I can't anymore, pleaseâ fuck , 'm gonna cum!"
You throw your head back with a gasp as your orgasm crashes down, your slick gushing down on Zanka's pelvis. It's not long before Zanka's twitching cock spurts out his warm spent, back arching as he flooded your insides. After a few more pumps of his load, you collapsed in his chest, Zanka grunts but wrapped you up with his arms.
Heavy breathing filled the room, not a word spoken. The two of you silently bask in the aftermath, he's still inside you and you didn't mind one bit. All you need right now is Zanka's warmth, he seems to be thinking the same.
It's safe to say that Zanka had a good night's sleep and did not wake up once before his alarm. Thanks to his girlfriend, obviously.
I'm sorry if there are any mistakes, I was half asleep writing the ending đ
â â§ READ WITH CARE: mdni, semi-public indecency, dry humping, handjob, edging, shifting power dynamics, banter, marking, somewhat of a brat enabler Blade (he has a lot of patience for once)
â â§ WORD COUNT: 5.1k (I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IM SORRY)
đ¤ PREMISE: restraint and longing are Blade's dearest companions, but something about the warmth of the mountain springs and the heated passion of his lover's touch unravels him faster than he might have ever anticipated
Thick steam wafts slowly across the surface of the hot spring, crafting a curtain of allure that blurs the edges of the mountain surroundings and hides the inn behind dark silhouettes underneath the night sky.
The entire world feels far away here in this near forgotten place, which is barely more than a refuge for people trying to catch a break.
Far from the endless cycle of violence that follows Blade like a curse, far from the constant ache buried beneath his ribs, far from the exhaustion that settles into his bones whenever memory turns its claws on him again, he relaxes in the natural minerals that embrace his weary bones almost as tenderly as his lover could... if only she was here.
The spring is quiet except for the soft overflow of water spilling from the rocks and the distant rustle of wind through pine branches. Here, he sits submerged beneath the heat with his eyes half lidded and one arm stretched lazily along the edge behind him.
His damp hair clings to the lines of his throat and collarbones, while droplets of water trace slowly over scarred skin before disappearing beneath the surface. Though his expression remains unreadable in that familiar way of his, there is something distinctively softer about him tonightâas well as a thick layer of impatience.
Yet that doesn't mean his senses have grown mellow. He still hears you long before you enter the spring, that familiar sound of your movement announces your (late) arrival. Blade also registers the telltale hitch in your breathing as the heat of the water reaches you, as well as the rustle of thin fabric shifting against your skin.
However, he does not turn immediately despite the way every sense of his focuses on your approach.
He tells himself he is unaffected, that he has simply grown accustomed to your presence after travelling together for so long without interruption. Yet the moment your scent reaches him through the steam and unwelcome distance, the first of many locks inside him loosens with an humiliating ease.
Warmth spreads low in his chest before he can entirely register what is happening, causing his fingers to flex once against the edge of the spring. After another, intentional moment of avoiding you, does he slowly glance toward your shape from beneath dark lashes.
For one suspended moment he devours the view you spoil him with while your figure emerges through the drifting mist as you pause near the edge of the spring.
Suddenly, you feel more aware of yourself beneath his attention despite all the confidence you usually carry. The chemise, which hugs your body, is thin enough to feel indecent under his stare even before the water touches it. It is concealing and revealing in equal measure, and you almost regret choosing it at all⌠almost.
But then you become aware of how intensely Blade notices you. To anyone else he may seem unchanged, but you have been with him long enough to notice the gentle flex of his jaw and the flustered way his gaze flicks across the water's surface. He acts as if he has no interest in looking at you at all, which only makes the truth far more obvious and amusing.
"You're avoiding me," you murmur eventually, and try your hardest to cover your own nerves behind a thick layer of teasing confidence despite the butterflies fluttering inside your stomach.
"You took long enough," he replies instead, in a voice that is almost too smooth. Blade's gaze shifts at the darkened sky with maddening composure while entirely unwilling to acknowledge the accusation, though the slight roughness beneath his tone betrays him anyway.
The first step into the spring sends warmth curling around your ankles and calves immediately, which eases a soft breath from your lungs as the heat seeps into your body. Chased away is the the cool mountain air with every step you take, but the stone beneath the water is smoother than expected and your balance falters briefly.
Before you can steady yourself, Blade lifts one hand toward you through the steam without even looking directly at you. As much as he may feign disinterest beautifully, he still offers you everything all at once. The gesture feels so natural that it reveals how caring he can be under all the gruff layers.
Your fingers slide into his palm, and his grip tightens instinctively around your hand with a warm and certain hold the moment your skin touches his. It is then that Blade finally looks at you properly, now that you descend further into the spring. This time he fails to conceal the way his stare clings to your curves as the water soaks through the thin fabric instantly.
His eyes flick downward before returning quickly to your face as if he resents his own lack of control, but it is already too late. The view is seared into his mind; how the chemise clings to every curve of yours, outlining your body while a single droplet slides slowly along your throat and collarbone.
To him it feels like another eternity has passed until you finally settled beside him in the water, close enough for your shoulders to almost touch while the spring envelops you completely in a soothing heat. For a long while neither of you speak at all, you can't even remember the last exchange before silence became your closest companion.
Yet, the sound of silence has never frightened you with Blade; these moments have never felt empty. Rather, they are rich with the tells of his breathing, the awkward shift of his body, and eventually a curiosity when he feels safe.
Steam drifts between your bodies while the scent of cedar and salty minerals wraps itself around you both, and little by little you begin closing the distance yourself. Your knee brushes against his first beneath the water, then your shoulder nudges his in the most innocent of touches. Were it not for the accidental graze of your fingers against his own, Blade might have ignored all your cues entirely.
But instead, you receive a reaction, however subtle it may be since Blade seems to freeze further. Until you turn your palm upward beneath the water, an offering without words that his eyes understand now that he gazes toward the movement before they lift up slowly back to your face.
There is always hesitation with him when tenderness is at play. Not that he means to reject you, but rather that intimacy requires him to surrender to something much more scary. As though he still cannot understand why softness continues reaching for him despite all his sharp and ruined angles.
Yet after a pause that stretches long enough, his fingers finally slide against yours and intertwine carefully beneath the water. The contact draws a slow breath from him that he tries unsuccessfully to hide thanks to the comforting notes of your scent that have begun to mix with the steam of the hot spring.
"You look tired," barely more than a soft murmur while you trace your thumb along his knuckles. Blade's lashes begin to feel heavy at the faint touch, his body instinctively seeks more of you rather than the hard stone.
"I'm always tired." He tries to sound dismissive as per usual, but his hand feels impossibly warm despite the spring as it lightly squeezes yours even at the tough act he wants to upkeep.
"That's not what I mean." A gust of air sings between the cedar trees as silence follows before Blade exhales through his nose, not quite amused and not quite resigned either. "You notice too much."
"I'd rather call it... that I only have eyes for you." It's another one of your playful attempts to loosen the tightly wounded knots around his heart, and sometimes, like tonight, it works.
Blade's gaze shifts toward you again with that familiar unreadable intensity that always causes your pulse to stumble once he arches a brow at you.
In these unguarded, private moments Blade has the habit of looking at you like someone who is trying very hard not to need something; trying very hard not to want someone.
So you lean in closer, in careful stages, since rushing won't ever do you any good with this Blade. Eventually, your shoulder presses fully against his, and your free hand rises slowly to brush a damp strand of dark hair away from his face.
Blade closes his eyes for the briefest second at the contact before reopening them again, yet he looks at you much softer now.
"You don't have to act unaffected with me," you whisper while allowing your fingertips to linger against his temple. "We play this game every time where you try your hardest to convince me that you don't want things. I know you want things."
Blade sighs softly at that, and the first response he can offer is a gentled headbutt in a flustered attempt to get you off his case. But you don't cease, you press, you cradle, you care. Which causes Blade's jaw to faintly tighten before responding with honesty. "Every time we touch, every time I want, I wait for things to end badly."
"Not this," you resist softly, with such honesty that Blade has to wonder where you find the audacity to trust in him so much. "I can promise you this won't end badly," another insistence of yours that tugs at the corner of Blade's mouth.
He turns his face slightly into your touch before seeming to realise what he is doing, and the restraint that snaps right back into its place makes you ache for him even more. It's like playing cat and mouse, though the cat doesn't realise it's a predator.
"If I didn't know you any bettter, I would assume you to be fishing for compliments," you go on while tenderly pushing your fingertip against Blade's cheek. "I'm not-" He begins, only for you to continue."You make me feel good," a quiet confession, because your voice feels nearly drowned out by the sound of water moving around the rocks. "Wanted. Safe. Happy." Your fingers drift lower against his jaw. "I wish you would stop behaving like wanting me is something shameful."
Blade stares at you in silence after that, he seems almost offended at the choice of your words.
You watch the conflict move behind his eyes while your thumb strokes slowly across his cheekbone, and eventually his hand leaves yours beneath the water only to settle against your waist instead. Large fingers spread over the soaked fabric clinging to your body before tightening gradually, to pull you closer between his spread knees until the warmth of him surrounds you entirely.
"Shameful? Is this your way of provoking me tonight?" He wonders in a soft murmur. Your mouth stretches into a small grin before you simply dare to giggle right into death's face. "Yes, apparently only drastic measures work with you."
Blade exhales close to a laugh before his eyes flick briefly toward your lips. His restraint hangs by threads now, you can confirm as much through every lingering touch, every prolonged stare, every measured breath against your skin.
So you kiss him first. Kiss him slowly, so sweetly which would allow him to pull away if he wishes so. But he never doesâonce you're in, he is falling.
The sound Blade makes when your lips meet is lithe enough to disappear beneath the steam, yet you feel it vibrate through his chest as one arm slides firmly around your waist and the other lifts toward the back of your neck.
Then he is kissing you in response, his infamous restrain unravels second by second the longer you remain pressed up against him. Each slow give of his mouth against yours grows heavier with all the wanting Blade usually buries beneath silence every day. His fingers flex against you through the fabric of your chemise while your own hands drift over his shoulders and throat, where they trace scarred skin and discover old tales.
You lose count of how many times your mouths meet. The only thing you are certain of is that Blade follows you whenever you part slightly for a breath of air while he greeds for more kisses, more touches, more you.
"Needy," you whisper against his lips eventually, yet your tone is covered in honey, decadently drenched with affection more than teasing. Blade opens his eyes just enough to fix you with a deep look that utterly fails to conceal how affected he is. "This is your fault," nothing more than a wanting rasp whispered against your lips since he already seeks you out again.
"Whatever happened to your restraint?" You whisper then as you deny him the kiss by leaning back, only for his hand to tighten warningly at your nape. The gesture causes a soft laugh to bubble from your throat.
Blade's forehead lowers briefly against yours, in a way that leads to an intimacy which nearly steals the breath from your lungs entirely. You feel him exhale slowly against your mouth before his hands finally guide you fully into his lap until you straddle him.
The heat appears to increase once your thighs settle against his own beneath the water. Now, your soaked clothes cling between your bodies while Blade leans back slightly over the stone edge of the spring to look up at you properly.
A fierce surge of unparalleled want rises through you at the beautiful sight painted in front of you: He looks so full of want and strange surrender beneath you. Damp and dishevelled hair frames his face, while kiss-swollen lips beckon for further attention as unbearably gentle eyes swallow you whole.
Your fingers drift slowly along the scars crossing his shoulders and chest, where his palms roam your body with increasing confidence as they slide over your hips and waist in attempt to memorise the shape of you through soaked fabric and heated skin alike.
It is then that you kiss him again. Again. And again. Every kiss slower than the last, deeper than the last, until the world beyond the spring disappears entirely thanks to the overwhelming lust overtaking every flicker of doubt.
The pressure of his hands, the warmth of his mouth, the subtle shift of his breathing whenever your hips move unconsciously against his beneath the water makes restraint seem like a folly.
In a moment where his lips are inhabited, Blade's head tips back briefly at one particular movement before he catches himself. Though you saw the moan he swallowed thickly, felt the dig of his fingers as they clung to your thighs⌠and you definitely feel the growing hardness insisting on your attention.
"There you are," you breathe so light like cotton candy and smile so sweetly against his jaw as embarrassment finally flickers across his features for the briefest moment. "You enjoy this too much." Oh, how Blade tries to make his voice sound like a warning, but it's gentled down now, mellow from his desires he always attempts to keep in check until the last minute.
"And you are cute when you lose composure." You whisper the words with nothing short of unbridled adoration; yet how come such words drive a man into madness? Blade lets out another low exhale that nearly resembles laughter before one hand slides upward along your spine beneath your wet hair, pulling you flush against his chest until your heartbeat presses directly against his own.
Heat blooms immediately between your bodies now that there is no defence zone to remain while your thighs spread wider across his lap. When your hips shift instinctively against him this time, the reaction you draw from him is impossible to miss. A rough breath catches low in his throat, one that you feel much more rather than hear it since Blade is an expert at stifling his sounds against the curve of your neck.
Here, he presses slow lingering kisses against damp skin that make your entire body melt into him without resistance. The sensation of his lips against your pulse feels unbearably intimate in the drifting steam and mountain silence, while his hands worship your body with a hunger that becomes harder to conceal.
Though the truth spills from him in dozens of tiny betrayals once you learn where to look. The slight furrow appearing between his brows whenever your nails scrape along his shoulders and back, or the way his eyes lower whenever you praise him too sincerely. His entire body grows still when you hold him gently, as if part of him still cannot believe tenderness remains aimed at him.
You can feel him wanting more. Feel it in the way his grip tightens whenever your hips shift against his; feel it in the way he breathes your name against your skin. Then he kisses you once more with enough longing behind it to leave both of you breathless.
The spring grows hotter the longer you remain tangled together, though perhaps it only feels that way because Blade has finally stopped pretending he is unaffected by you.
His hands no longer hesitate when they settle along your waist, and his mouth no longer pulls away quite so quickly after kissing you. Even his gaze changes little by little beneath the lantern glow, growing heavier each time your hips grind against the heavy bulge hidden underneath the soaked towel wrapped around his waist.
Though the sweetest indulgence of all is how terribly responsive Blade is to softness. Every time your fingers comb through the damp strands at the nape of his neck, every time your lips brush slowly against the corner of his mouth, and every time your eyes lock with his, you feel his hands tighten around you in silent demand for more.
The final nail in Blade's coffin is the moment your hand settles lower beneath the surface. His stomach tightens sharply beneath your fingertips while the muscles along his thighs tense underneath yours, and suddenly the restraint he has been clinging to all evening is nothing but a frighteningly fragile memory.
Sudden, crude touches have never unravelled Blade. No, what does it for him is the slow, certain descend of your handâthe only hands whose touch he welcomes. At least with you he can be a glutton, greedy to feel your touch all over while your mouth continues kissing him with unbearable gentleness, as if you are comforting him and teasing him apart all at once.
Your hips have been rolling against his lap for several minutes now, the soaked fabric trapped between you doing absolutely nothing to lessen the sensation. Every slow drag downward has him swallowing sharply. Every careless grind of your hips pulls another strained breath from him. The water disguises how desperately his body responds to you, but not completely, at least not from you.
Then, finally, the mask slips entirely as his fingers dig into your hips, firm enough to still your movements for one suspended second. His lashes flutter lower as one hand clamps hard against your waist, and the other braces against the stone edge behind him like he suddenly requires the support.
You feel him growing harder beneath the heat of the spring every time you shift against him, feel the subtle jerk of his hips whenever your body presses too perfectly into his. And now your hand is making matters worseâmuch worse.
But you would be insane to let him retreat now, not when he is this affected. No, you chase him, you lean in over his body and press your breasts flush against his chest as your lips find his all over again. "So responsive," you whisper over his lips rather than kissing him once more, unable to help the smile that pulls at your mouth.
Blade opens his eyes just enough to fix you with a stare that might have felt intimidating if his hands were not still clutching you with such obvious need. "You enjoy provoking me."
"You make it so easy tonight." Shot back too soon, too sure of yourself which causes him to smirk in response as pure want flickers in his body. "Brat," he breathes out before the clashing of your lips as a soft sound escapes him then, indecisive whether it be exasperation or reluctant amusement, but you feel the tension inside his body loosen another fraction.
Blade rarely laughs outright, but moments like this come close enough to feel precious. You brush your nose gently against his before kissing him all over again, this time slower to savour the way he immediately follows your mouth when you attempt to pull away again. He cannot help it anymore, cannot keep himself from bucking his hips against your willing hand as the wanting in him has risen too close to the surface.
He drops his forehead heavily against your shoulder while your fingers curl more purposely around his girth beneath the water. A rough sound leaves him then, low and strained and startlingly vulnerable compared to his usual nature.
He is trying so hard not to lose himself; proven in the unsteady grip against your waist, in the uneven rhythm of his breathing against your throat, in the visible effort it takes for him not to move helplessly into your touch.
"You're trembling," you note too casually as you speak softly into his damp hair. "It's cold outside," Blade mutters hoarsely against your skin, though the words lose all sharpness when his hips betray him with an involuntary thrust beneath the water.
He makes you chuckle against his temple as affection spills through your chest at the terrible excuse. "Liar." But you kiss him all the same before he can retreat behind embarrassment, while your hand continues to pump along his erection with agonising patience.
Blade melts into the kiss instantly, his mouth parting against yours with a rough inhale before he suddenly takes over control. His hands roam your body almost desperately, to squeeze your ass and slide the drenched fabric of your chemise further up your hips like he needs to feel you whole, right inside this very open space of the hot spring.
Spread deeper over his lap, the movement presses you directly against him for heat to shoot through both of you at once. A breathless gasp slips from your throat this time, now that your hips rock more fully against the prominent hardness trapped between your bodies, and Blade nearly breaks apart from it.
His eyes shut tight while the friction turns messy quickly after those slow rolling movements become deeper without either of you consciously deciding it. Your thighs tighten against Blade's lap while his hands guide your hips helplessly against him again and again.
"You feel too good," he breathes eventually, his voice carrying a roughened cadence that makes you wish he were to always sound like that. "Stop feeling so good, stop moving like that," Blade tries so hard to regain his mind, his composure, under your relentless kisses as your mouths continue meeting between words.
Which only makes teasing him even more irresistible. You shift against him again, slower this time, to bring a strained breath forward while his hands flex hard against your thighs, trying (and failing) to steady either of you properly.
"Careful," he warns quietly, though the word sounds entirely too wrecked already. "You say that," you murmur while brushing your lips along his jaw, "but you're the one holding me down in your lap. You want this even more than I do."
The statement dissolves into another low sound when your fingertips threaten to undo the knot of his towel the same moment your hips grind down into his lap again. One trembling exhale leaves him then, and his head tips back far enough to expose the long line of his throat to you entirely.
He looks beautiful like this; ruined by softness, ravished by wanting.
Unable to resist, you kiss along his throat, while his hips jerk once more beneath you despite all his attempts. Blade curses softly under his breath, though the sound gives way for another ragged inhale when you suck gently at the pulse beneath his jaw.
"You're cruel tonight." A grin spreads slowly across your mouth at the accusation because he sounds genuinely overwhelmed, his usual composure reduced to shaky breaths and grasping hands. "You're really that close?" you whisper against his skin with obvious delight, and Blade opens his eyes just enough to glare at you through visible embarrassment.
"You have your hand wrapped around me. How do you expect me not to be close?" He spends so much of his existence holding himself together through sheer force alone that witnessing him unravel willingly inside your arms feels intimate in a way words could never capture.
"And?" You seem entirely unbothered though, almost coaxing in the way you wait for him to fill the rest of the sentence as you give him another, generous grind of your hips.
Blade exhales sharply at that, as a faint flush finally appears high across his cheeks beneath the lantern light. "And you keep grinding against me like you want me to lose control," his eyes narrow at you with wounded dignity.
"You're adorable tonight," you murmur before kissing him again, so faint he is not sure if it truly happened. "All desperate."
"Watch yourself. I am not desperate." The great terrifying Stellaron Hunter sits half-submerged in steaming water while growing visibly more flustered because you called him adorable, or maybe it was the way you said desperate.
You cannot help the soft laugh slipping free against his mouth and Blade actually groans afterwards, dragging one hand down over his face briefly while his chest rises and falls harder than before. "Don't laugh at me."
You kiss him before he can regret saying it aloud. Though this collision is messy, needy, wilder as your fingers cling to damp hair while Blade nips on your lower lip, while his tongue conquers that filthy mouth of yours, and his intent steals your thoughts.
Too much happens at once, to the point it is hard to tell apart instigator from victim. One moment he, once again, encourages the grind of your hips as he moans into your mouth and bucks his heavy length up into you, before he just as suddenly forces your movements to still completely. His fingers are firm at your waist now that he presses his forehead against yours and exhales shakily through his nose.
"Enough," he mutters eventually, yet his voice still sounds wrecked. Blade is trying to regain control, trying very, very hard to the point you cannot find pity within you. "If you continue, this ends badly for me," he adds to get the message across, "and you."
"Ow," you whisper but the chuckles make it impossible to appear compassionate. "That sensitive?"
Blade lets out a low groan before lifting his head just enough to meet your eyes again, visibly struggling to steady himself while steam clings to his lashes and damp hair shadows his expression. "You need to stop."
"You don't sound very convincing." You brush your nose gently against his, while smiling so sweetly it only makes his expression grow more tortured.
"We are in public." The strained seriousness in his voice only causes the devil in you to do its worst. "There's nobody here," You sound so smug, so sure to get away with driving Blade to the brink of madness with your constant grinding and how nicely, very nicely, your fingers pump his length.
"There are rooms directly above us." He looks genuinely torn now, caught somewhere between desire and self-restraint while your fingers remain trapped gently inside his grip beneath the water.
"But you're not stopping me, not really," you whisper near victoriously. Blade's composure has unravelled so thoroughly that even his usual sharpness appears softened around the edges, buried beneath warmth and embarrassment and the terrible realisation that you know exactly how much power you hold over him tonight.
"You are enjoying this far too much," he mutters against your throat while closing his eyes briefly since the sound of your laughter alone might undo him all together. Then he exhales slowly before releasing your wrist beneath the water, but his hand immediately settles possessively at your waist again.
"Because you're cute when you're overwhelmed," a whisper filled with enough love it causes Blade to slowly open his eyes again. Successfully lured out of his spot, he locks you down with a stare that is more dilated pupils than anything else. The embarrassment remains, yes, but it has shifted after being teased so thoroughly.
The sight of him makes desire curl through you all over again, with damp hair falling into his eyes and lips swollen from kissing, while his cheeks remain flushed from how close you pushed him in the water.
"You won't be laughing later," he warns quietly, but before you can respond properly, Blade catches your mouth in another kiss and drags you flush against him again. One final slow grind of his hips against yours pulls matching breaths from both of you then as you feel exactly how hard it is for him to stop here.
How badly he wants to let go beneath your hands and mouth and praise. Yet somehow he manages it anyway, burying his face briefly against your neck anew while his breathing steadies little by little against your skin.
"You're insufferable," he murmurs, though his hands refuse to let you go. "And you love me." The statement calls for a pause, before his response almost disappears beneath the sound of the lapping water. "Enough to let you get away with this once," Blade answers against your mouth.
Once.
Your pulse stumbles instantly beneath his threat, but you would be caught in a web of lies were you to confess your regret over the torture inside the hot springs. Never has he ever let you get away with mischief close to the level of tonight, which makes this all the more precious.
Blade brushes one final kiss against your mouth before deciding. "We should go inside." The way he says it leaves very little room for misunderstanding, causing you to smile immediately despite the heat rushing through you. "Finally giving in?"
One of his hands slides slowly along your thigh beneath the water while his eyes remain fixed on yours. "You've spent the entire evening provoking me," he murmurs. "You can deal with the consequences."
Anticipation spreads through your body at the sound of his promise, and at the thought of the night that waits ahead. Blade appears almost playful beneath all that lingering restraint, loosened enough by affection and longing that a lightness finally peeks through the cracks.
You kiss him once more before his hands slide slowly down your thighs, where he lifts you carefully from his lap despite your soft protest. The moment you stand from the water, the soaked chemise clings transparently enough to your body that Blade visibly loses his train of thought for a second time that evening.
His eyes drag slowly over you before he exhales sharply through his nose and looks away with obvious effort. You cannot help your grin, cannot stop judging how cute he appears to be tonight. Before all that cuteness vanishes as the sudden predatory grace to his movement when he reaches for your hand to throw you over his shoulder and carry you inside your room.
Not a hint of that flustered man from the hot springs remained ever since.
hi! can you write a story where wife reader and zuko have an argument over him being too risky going on dangerous adventures with the gaang when he has a wife and newborn at home and they go to bed mad at each other maybe even the fire lord sleeps in a guest room and it causes rooms to circulate around the palace and itâs him dealing with her silent treatment for a week and apologizes? like man is wrecked without his wife and baby and barely does his duties bc he misses them so much
silent treatment
summary : zuko frequently leaves to adventure with the gaang, but when you have your first child your concern for his safety grows and so does your feelings of neglect. another letter from aang leads to a fight, and a long week of silence for zuko.
pairing : zuko x fem! reader
cw : sfw! arguing, fluff.
divider by @cursed-carmine
zukoâs spot in the gaang had been secured long ago. he knew that, you knew that, everyone with eyes to see knew that. they were like his family, being of more importance than his nation, but never you. almost.
and yet, despite being the fire lord, responsible for an entire nation, he still felt the need to leave on wild adventures with aang and his friends to agni knows where.
this was fine and well when he first became the fire lord, when you were both young, when it was just the two of you.
however, the moment you fell pregnant you began to see the many issues surrounding his crusades. while he was gone you would walk through the castle, dreading any letter that arrived in fear it would be news he would not return.
any messenger who arrived from afar was turned away, in case they brought with them the announcement of his death.
you were beginning to picture the worst every time he stepped foot out of the borders of the fire nation.
itâs not like this fear was completely unwarranted either as he often returned injured or otherwise, unable to attend court for days.
then the baby came. you expected him to slow down with his adventures, make them every few years instead of every few months. but when a letter came, addressed to âflameo hotmanâ himself, he was rearing to go.
you took it upon yourself to remind him that you JUST popped out his baby, to which he failed to see the issue. thankfully what he lacked in brains he made up for with his care, being there for much of your recovery. so you acquiesced, allowing him to go with a kiss and a long string of prayers for his safety.
one more. one last big crusade, then he can stay home to help you. that was his promise. he never went back on his promises. at least thatâs what you thought.
and then another letter arrived, and he saw the fire nation through you like he never hoped to, red, hot, fiery anger blazing in every piece of you as you chastise him in the confines of your bedchambers. despite your anger, you know better than to disrespect him in the public eye of his court, especially as his âlowlyâ wife.
âyouâve been back for 3 months at the least, do you have no desire to be with your wife and child?â the letter crumples under your tight grip, and zukoâs displeased wince has you squeezing it harder.
âwhat? of course i do, how could you even say that?â his eyes are full of concern and hurt.
âhow could i say that? here, allow me to enlighten you. three months ago you promised me, you swore, zuko, that this would be the last one for a âlongâ while.â you feel immense relief that your baby is with your ladies in waiting, unwilling to allow her to ever see this side of you. even if sheâs unlikely to remember it.
âand i thought that would be the case! i want to stay with you, i do!â
âso turn him down! you have every capability to reject his invitation. or is this your subtle way of saying that you would rather be free from your responsibilities? from us?â
âmy love, câmon you know thatâs not what this is.â
âyouâve done nothing to show me that's the truth.â you toss the letter towards his feet, daring him to reach for it. he is smarter than you give him credit for, youâll admit, as he steps over the crinkled paper.
âwhere is this coming from?â he reaches out for your dress, and you swiftly swat his hand away, in no mood to entertain his puppy eyes and delicate hands. in no way ready to accept an indirect apology through gentle touches and soft whispers, as he cares for you like a porcelain vase. you remind yourself that this discussion is for the wellbeing of you and your daughter and you will not be swayed by mediocrity, you want acknowledgement and reflection.
âdo you have any idea what i went through during my whole pregnancy while you were gone on your little adventures? do you? i couldnât be sure if you would back unharmed, let alone alive. i had to worry about not only the health of our baby, but also my husband who would rather risk his life for his friends that live in safety with his family.â
your eyes burn with tears you didnât notice brewing. youâre not sad, youâre brimming with a rage that has been building for months and months.
he is silent and unmoving. the only indication of his attention is the furrow of his brow and the way his chews on his lip in frustration. even if he wanted to speak, you donât allow him the opportunity.
âlet me ask you this, lord zuko, is your fun worth more than your life? worth more than coming home to your wife, or your daughter having a father?â
âyou know itâs not! you two are worth more than the entire world to me.â
âthen you know how you will answer aangâs letter.â
âmy love..â
âiâd like to be alone now. in fact, iâd like to be alone until you know for certain where your priorities lie.â you approach, gaze pointed as you brush past him, leaving him alone in your shared chambers.
that is the last words you speak before, what he will always remember as, the long week of silence. the first time a fight has left the room with you and carried itself alongside you like a protective shield, preventing him from getting in close. you wonât even let him near the baby, which may be a tad unfair, but youâre angry and not thinking straight.
you continue to perform your duties as the fire lady, diligent as you are, but youâre mean about it. heâs not âzukoâ anymore, not your love, he is lord zuko. fire lord zuko. youâve shrunk him to not so much as a colleague in your mind.
itâs the only way you continue in your position as the fire lady, playing the role of dutiful wife for his court then leaving right after the dismissal of said court with a curt bow.
the tension between you two is felt throughout the castle by all. the court notices the subtle distance between you but doesn't verbalize this observation.
you sleep in the nursery with your daughter. your back is stiff, and your neck is crimped, from sleeping on the tiny futon within. you are kept awake all night long by the light of decorative fire ornaments, night lights for your baby. you donât rest well.
neither does zuko.
he lays in the empty space of your previously shared bed, staring at the ceiling. his mind races with how to win your favor back. how to speak to you. he misses you. misses his daughter. he reminisces on your touch like itâs been years of your absence, when really itâs only been a few days.
heâs already rejected aangâs invitation and you know that, so why have you not returned to him?
when the end of the week approaches he begins to feel ill. distracted. and of course, you notice, but you are stubborn and strong willed.
you miss him too, but the hurt from feeling second to his âfreedomâ, an idea concocted completely on your own, overwhelms you too much to give in just cause he appears to be losing sleep. you want him to feel your absence a little longer, the way you felt his for nights on end. at least, you reason, he knows you and your daughter are alive and well.
the grand chamberlain drones on and on in the confines of zukoâs royal office, to which he casts a spiritless gaze. his thoughts are not on the affairs of his court, rather they are anywhere but.
he only thinks of you, of your baby. have the two of you eaten? what are you doing now? are you in the gardens? in the capital? in your bedroom.. alone.. without him..? should he go to you?
have you forgiven him?
âmy wife...â
âwhat?â
âhm? oh.. um, what i said was, my life. as in.. i would give my life for this court, of course, chamberlain.â
âi believe you spoke of the honorable fire lady, lord zuko.â he stares at zuko with a silent contempt, then relinquishes his harsh gaze upon fully taking in the shell of the fire lord in front of him.
âi suppose.. my mind may have drifted.â zuko sighs, head falling back against his chairâs backrest. a pause, a moment of understanding and quiet contemplation between them, before the chamberlain speaks again.
âforgive my asking, lord zuko, but have you done something to upset the honorable lady?â
âwhy? did she speak to you? what did she say?â he straightens, like an arrow, gaze pinned to the chamberlain whose head shakes in dismissal.
âi assure you, lord zuko, that is not the case. in fact, it is quite the opposite, as the honorable lady speaks to none but your own child.â zuko frowns, another wave of guilt flooding his already weak stomach.
âshe has not spoken to anyone?â
ânot in the last week. perhaps she has taken a vow of silence to honour the beginnings of your childâs life?â itâs more than a stretch to suggest this, considering your daughter has been in the world for over three months now, but the chamberlain suggests it despite this. zuko releases a weak huff of laughter.
âyes.. i suppose, it may be that. thank you, advisor, that shall be all..â zuko waves him off with a gentle flick of his hand, the opposite palm sliding down his weary face. finally, he decides, this silence has gone on long enough.
he leaves his office with a start, tripping over his feet as they try to match his fervor. he searches high and low for you, every nook and cranny where you could be hiding from him. until it dawns on him, youâd barely left the nursery since you took shelter there.
he approaches the nursery quietly, cautiously. his palm, slick with a thin layer of nervous sweat, reaches for the door knob and hesitantly pushes it open.
you sit on the rocking chair in the corner, baby in hand, cooing at your daughter until the door creaks and makes his presence known. your eyes meet his for less than a second before they are stubbornly focused on your daughters chubby cheeks.
one glance at you is enough to have him feeling better, not whole, but no longer ill with worry. he walks to you, steps slow, like he doesnât rule the nation but rather like that of a hesitant child. he points to the foot stool, unused, muttering a small âmay i?â
âyouâre the fire lord, you donât need my permission to do anything. youâve made that fairly clear..â
âiâm asking you if i may join you..â you nod, but still your eyes avoid his. he sits.
âare you well?â you nod once more. âand the baby?â
âshe is fine as well.â
âgood.. that is good,â he clasps his hands together, contemplative as he searches for his next words, âi rejected aangâs invitation.â
âso iâve heard.â
âbut you didnât come back..â
âi wasnât ready to.â
âand now?â
âyou tell me.â
he sighs, slipping off the stool to kneel in front of you.
âplease, donât dirty yourself on my behalf, lord zukoâ
âenough.â his tone is not unkind, but firm. your brow raises and his nods in apology, you listen despite this, eyes finally on him.
âi understand what you're doing.. and why. and iâm sorry,â he reaches for your hand and you can tell he expects to be swatting away again, a visual that makes your heart hurt, âiâm sorry for everything.â
you hold your daughter, who is drifting in between sleep and wakefulness, close to your body. zukoâs thumb rubs across the back of your hand, searching for forgiveness before he continues.
âi will never know how you felt back then, when i was gone, but i know now the power of absence. you have been gone from our bed mere days and i cannot sleep, i cannot eat, i can think of nothing but you. and i know that my safety is questionable on aangâs crusades. so.. i understand why you do not want me to go as often, if at all. i do enjoy a break from being the fire lord but i.. i never want you to think that i value my freedom more than you. i did not know the meaning of the word until you, until .. her.â his eyes drift towards your daughter, soft and longing.
âi know..â you admit quietly, freeing your hand from his grip to cup his cheek.
your thumb swipes across his scar, his eyes close like a dog being pet. your eyes sting with the threat of tears, but the closeness of him after days of distance overwhelms that part of you, a strange happiness patching any sadness lingering within. you tuck his hair behind his ear, his handsome face on display.
âyou do?â
âof course i do, i married you for a reason, i know you value this family.. i was just hurt.â
âi know, baby, iâm sorry.. iâm gonna do anything and everything to make up for that.â
âthis is enough for now.. i missed you.â
âyeah?â he smiles weakly, like heâs unsure if that's allowed. when you smile back, it grows more sure. he falls forward, arms wrapping around your waist and face resting against your stomach, âi missed you. so much. both of you.â
âi.. donât mind if you go with aang every once and a while, but we need you here. safe.â your hand rests on his head, which he raises to look at you once more.
âi know. iâm gonna be better. iâll be around so much youâll both get sick of me.â
he stands, offering his hand for you to do the same, which you do. you calmly offer him your daughter, his face lights up. his back straightens, like weight upon weight are being rolled over his shoulders one by one. he takes your daughter in his arms, kissing your temple.
âour chambers have been so quiet without you, youâll come back right?â you nod. âright now?â you smile at his eagerness, hand resting on his arm.
âsure, lord zuko, letâs go, i am dying for a nap on an actual bed. youâll watch her right?â he leads you out of the room, and down the hall, baby in his arms as he wears the widest grin youâve ever seen on his face. Itâs infectious, bleeding onto you and making your lips curl upwards.
âyeah, iâll watch her,â he looks at you with a sincerity youâve never seen, âweâll be right where you left us when you wake up, promise iâm not going anywhere anytime soon.â
Hi, could you write a short scene where Sal and the reader share a pair of headphones so they don't wake up the others at the sleepover?
á˘đŠ shhh..
the room was dim except for the soft glow of a lamp in the corner, casting long shadows across larryâs floor. the rest of the group had already crashed, blankets tangled, quiet breathing filling the space, but you and sal were still awake. maybe it was the adrenaline still running through his veins, from earlier, when heâd been getting high with larry, or the way his quiet, nonstop chatter filled the room, giving you something to focus on instead of sleep. his voice had that restless energy to it, words slipping out one after another like he couldnât quite turn his brain off. not that you minded, though. if anything, it made the night feel a little less quiet, a little less still.
you sat shoulder to shoulder on the floor, backs against the side of the bed, a single pair of headphones split between you. one earbud in your ear, the other in his. the cord stretched awkwardly between you, forcing you closer than usual.
sal shifted slightly, careful not to tug the wire. âif this wakes anyone up, iâm blaming you,â he whispered, his voice barely audible over the music.
you just rolled your eyes, though he couldnât really see it in the low light. not like he could anyways if he tried. not with his messy blue hair falling into his face, casting soft shadows across his features in the dim light, making him look even more effortlessly captivating. you looked away, trying not to stare. âyou picked the volume, sally.â
âyeah, but you didnât stop me.â
a small smile tugged at your lips. fair enough.
the music played softly. just loud enough to hear, quiet enough to keep the room asleep. every now and then, your shoulders brushed, and each time it happened, neither of you moved away. it just stayed like that.
comfortable. warm.
sal tapped his fingers lightly against his knee in rhythm, then paused. âdo you like this song?â he asked, turning his head just slightly toward you.
âmhm,â you hummed. âitâs good.â
there was a short silence before he spoke again, softer this time. âyou can lean closer if you want. the audioâs kinda uneven, yâknow?â
you knew that was only half the truth. still, you leaned in just a little, enough that your arm pressed against his more firmly. the earbud wire slackened between you, no longer pulling.
âbetter?â
âyeah. way better.â
he nodded, though his posture stiffened just a bit, like he was trying to act normal about it. his fingers curled slightly against his knee before relaxing again, like he didnât quite know what to do with them.
another song started.
neither of you talked this time.
the quiet wasnât awkward. it was the kind that felt full, like you didnât need to say anything. just sharing the music, the moment, the late night calm while everyone else slept.
at one point, you let out a quiet breath, almost like a laugh. âkinda nice,â you whispered.
sal glanced at you. âyeah?â
âyeah.â
you leaned your head against his shoulder, and for a moment he went still, before relaxing just slightly, not pulling away, reaching for your hand.
