long distance f/o where you can hear them cum and then breathlessly pant into the phone "I love you, I miss you, I wish you were here" in their post-orgasm haze 😵💫
thinking about Ryuu helping me put my foot/ankle brace on really gently and kissing it bc he would never shame me for something I can't control like hypermobility 🥹
a/n: this one is part rabbichat part fic! I wanted to work in some of our bad texting habits (falling asleep. forgetting to send. etc), but also the roirom synergy collab was actually real!! I'll add the video and article links in a later fic! <3
Ryuu:
Ariiii!!! Guess what!
(delivered 4:16)
Ari??
(delivered 4:19)
Hmmmm... Maybe you're sleeping??
Just text me when you get this ok?
(delivered 4:30)
Ari:
OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY
(sent 7:55)
I was exhausted after work and
closed my eyes and passed out
for like three hours ;w;
sometimes I get so tired with all my
allergies and stuff or forget to take my vitamins
and my body is like. nope. and crashes...
Ryuu??
Ryuu:
Ari!!
(sent 11:30)
I'm so sorry, I thought I hit send!! ;w;
I was up early for a shoot and thought
you might be around after work.
Hope you had a good nap...
though you might be asleep again now.
time zones.
anyway if you are still awake,
can I call you?? we just got a new collab
and I wanted to tell you about it!
we have lunch break, so I can chat for a few minutes.
Ari:
YEAH! I'M AWAKE STILL HANG ON
PHONE OR VIDEO CHAT?
Ryuu:
Oh! Video would be fun
Gaku and Tenn are here
Ari:
crap. lemme grab a sweater
fix my hair. hang on.
Ryuu:
you don't have to do anything special
it's just us.
Ari:
I'm going to pretend you didn't say that~~
Ryuu:
???
Ari:
:3 okay I'm decent now
call away
Ryuu hit the facetime button, taking a bite of his sandwich as the call started to ring in. Ari's face lit up the screen, wearing a dark blue thin-strap nightgown and oversized cardigan on top, hair clipped up into a messy updo. He tried to avert his gaze from her breasts, peeking over the lacy edges of the pajamas. Maybe he wouldn't share her with Gaku and Tenn after all~
"Ari! Hi!"
She waved hi, eyes still sleepy, but with a beaming smile.
"Hiiii! Nice to see you again! It's lunchtime for you already?"
He nodded, holding up the sandwich and taking another bite.
Gaku leaned over into Ryuu's personal space.
"Oh is that the baker girl again??~"
Ryuu's cheeks flushed slightly but he nodded. "I wanted to tell her about--"
"Oh?~" Tenn leaned in from the other side, peering at the screen with a little wave. "Hello."
She smiled back, returning the wave. "Hiiii! Good to see you guys again."
Gaku elbowed Ryuu, ♡"Translate for us, right?"♡
♡"Yeah, yeah. I want to talk to her first though. I asked her to call."♡
♡"Mhm, mhm, your cute little girlfriend?~"♡
Ari waited on her end, blushing too when she recognized the word kanojo in passing.
"Ryuu?"
He was busy scolding Gaku, but turned back to Ari, clearing his throat. "Yes?"
"You said you had something to tell me about? A collab?"
"Ah!" His face lit up and he pull the camera closer.
"We're actually filming today! There's another idol group called Roirom and they wanted to collaborate with us! We're learning the choreography from one of their songs and they're learning ours! We have a joint interview later too that Nylon will publish on their site!" He panned the camera up behind his shoulder to show 2 new idol boys, practicing a dance. "We've had a lot of fun together! I'll make sure to send you the videos and interview once it's live!"
Ari was grinning, putting one hand on her cheek. "That's so exciting!!! I'm glad you're having fun!!! I can't wait to see you guys dancing when it drops! Oh, and!"
She leaned over the phone to reach her desk, accidentally giving Ryuu (and the other boys) a closeup of her boobs. Ryuu's ears flushed red, tilting the phone screen down for privacy while she looked for something.
Gaku smirked. ♡"Shit dude, I didn't know she had--"♡
Ryuu glared daggers. ♡"Shut up, Gaku. She didn't mean to..."♡
Tenn snicked, taking a sip of his drink. ♡"For someone who's 'not dating' she seems pretty casual with you, Ryuu~"♡
♡"She probably just didn't think about it--"♡
Ari's voice came from the lowered phone. "Ryuu?? You still there?"
"Ah, hai!" He raised the phone again, cheeks still flushed. "What did you... Oh!"
"Tah-dah!!" She held out 2 Trigger CDs proudly, showing off VARIANT and the single for Places. "I want to get more, but this is all I could get for now!! I know cd sales help support you guys for the music rankings, but the import fees can be steep. I'll get more when I can."
Tenn sniffed, elbowing Ryuu this time. ♡"Tell her to get Trois next."♡
Gaku chimed in, ♡"She might like the single for Suisai too."♡
Ryuu stood up. ♡"Okay, I'm going to find some privacy! Bye!"♡
Tenn clicked his tongue with a "tch" and Gaku returned to his lunch, laughing to himself. Teasing Ryunosuke was one of their favorite pastimes, but he was more sensitive to the other three when it came to relationships. (For good reason, he had been at the center of a tabloid relationship scandal and he didn't want to go through that ever again).
Ari stared into the camera, curious. "Everything good over there?"
Ryuu nodded, walking down the hall towards the changing rooms/bathrooms. "Yeah, we still have a little time before we practice again and then film. We've almost got all the choreo down."
She smiled, leaning back into her pillows. "Thanks for letting me call. I love seeing what you're up to."
"You should chat me from the cafe some time! I like seeing your life too." He paused, smiling softly. "And thank you, for buying our cds. It means a lot..."
"I'll make sure to bring my filming stand with me next week! And of course! I love your guys' music. I'm so glad you came into the cafe! Lucky..."
Ryuu sat down in the changing room, leaning his head back against the wall. "Yeah. Lucky..." Smiling, he looked at the screen, trying again to not stare. "I guess I really haven't seen you since we were in your office. Just texting."
"Aha, yeah, you're right. That was nice though." Her eyes softened, a warm smile on her face. "Kinda weird we can't sit together like that now, huh?"
Ryuu nodded, wiggling his fingers. "We'll just have to imagine."
"I'm there in spirit." She grinned, tapping the camera with her finger. "Maybe by some magic I'll close my eyes and boom!! I'll transport through the wires and be right there next to you."
"And my next magic trick is...!!" Ryuu grinned, laughing with her. "Maybe one day it will come true."
"Maybe so~" She smiled, letting the warmth of the moment sink in. "I'll let you go, I don't wanna take up all your lunch."
"It's all good, I don't mind." Ryuu sat up, brushing back a stray lock of hair.
"Yeah, but you need your off time too. And I gotta sleeeeep."
"Okay, okay. Talk to you soon?"
She nodded, finger hovering over the end button. "See ya later! Goodnight. Er, afternoon??"
Ryuu laughed, giving her a single nod. "Goodnight~"
The call ended, returning the text screen and turning black as Ryuu shut his device off. Leaning back onto the wall again, he let out a long breath.
I've been thinking so much about life with Ryuu this past weekend and :C
just seeing him in the morning making coffee and breakfast and getting to smile at him and long hugs and laying my head on his chest while I'm still a little sleepy and feeling him kiss the top of my head and and
idk I just don't think there's anything more delicious than a slowburn that lets people get more and more intimate until the passion is consuming them alive and they have to fuck about it in the most tender and hungry way
thinking about anniversaries reminded me that I never decided when the AriRyuu anni is???
I remember Dec 2024 was when I saw the 3rd beat ep where he was so hot telling off Ryo....
^ my oblivious ass was like oh what if I do a general x reader for summer.... my queen..... I have some news......
and then by April I finally realized it was selfship territory (did u know... I considered both Yamato and Gaku from i/7 before finally realizing it was Ryuu endgame???)
July 14th was when Kendall beloved helped me decide AriRyuu was the right ship name <3
but then the first official fic was September 25...
