raihan’s demeanor notably brightens ; a fanged grin splits across his face just as a soft look creeps into his bottleblue eyes. in the dragonkeeper’s chest, a fire burns, one that burns hotter when anyone mentions the singer by name : its a very public secret how he feels about piers, and arceus help whoever asks about him because they’re destined to get an earful.
❝ i’d give anythin’ for him. sounds barmy, i know ... but of all the overworked and undervalued blokes in this world, piers tops the list. i’d trade any of my pokémon if it meant givin’ him somethin’ he needs, though i reckon he’d never let me. got a whole playlist in excalibur’s database about him. piers is just a really good guy, and i’ll throw down with anyone who says otherwise! ❞
the ‘ i love him ’ goes unspoken, but shines bright in his eyes.
// listen, i’m TOTAL KBNZ TRASH. i can literally spend hours talking about them, separate and together : they’re great characters and a great relationship. i will try to keep this short but holy shit it will be difficult.
i play piers myself ; i know first hand how awesome he is and i adore him. i have a lot of issues with how the fandom treats him at times, and its really nice to see someone who hasn’t caved to a lot of those tropes ( at least from what admittedly little i’ve seen so far ). its possible to be a darker character without being goth or edgy or conforming to shitty anime tropes ; after all, piers’ entire existence is about breaking the mold and raging against conformity. i fully believe that there’s a soft heart beneath those spikes, a heart that wants to be loved earnestly and not for what piers himself has to give ; and raihan is probably one of the first people who has genuinely cared about piers for who he is as a real, true, and honest person. the raw honesty of piers and raihan’s relationship is what draws me in so closely. i have a very special place in my heart for piers, and his relationship with raihan is so wholesome and genuinely fills a hole in my soul.
i also have issues with how the fandom can treat raihan, and kbnz as a whole. i feel like there’s a pervasive misunderstanding about piers’ interactions with raihan being dismissive and avoidant, and raihan’s interactions with piers being annoying or overly boisterous, but i just don’t see them that way. people are more than the sum of their boring anime tropes ; piers isn’t just some depressed ship fodder to turn into somebody’s uwu bottom bitch, and raihan isn’t some dumb annoying feral dude who tops everything he sees, and i hate when people force them into those boxes. but who knows —— maybe i’m the crazy one for seeing them in a mutually beneficial and loving relationship. i know loving piers can’t be easy, and raihan knows it too : but piers is worth the challenge.
so tl ; dr —— raihan considers piers a romantic, sexual, and intellectual equal, someone he can come to both as a lover and as a friend and truly be himself with. nobody gets him like piers does, and he’s honored to call his best friend his lover.
“There is no reason it should be important to me,” she replied matter-of-factly.
Looking back, she could only see where she came from and all the people she’d known before Rose as impediments to her success. In her memory, all eyes were uncaring and doubtful, and all hands were determined to tear her down.
“Had you chosen to relocate, you certainly could have brought Ms. Marnie along with you. She is a relative, after all, and a dependent. Regardless of what you may think of him, Mr. Rose would not presume to separate the two of you. Considering that, it is quite beyond me why you chose to remain in that town instead of moving to someplace better for her sake...”
An equally disoriented voice replied back. He still wasn’t awake, awake. The sunlight was only serving to piss him off while he tried to gather up his scrambled thoughts. Least he made it to his hotel room. And by the other voice it seemed he landed in bed with another man.
Nice.
He let out a yawn, arms around a pillow, which he would much prefer a body but there were always some rules when it came to one night stands. Or what he thought was going to be one. Though the gentle touch to his scarred back made him realize the other person wasn’t as anti touch as he was used to.
Well now he should face who he was dealing with.
Untangling himself from the pillow he lifted himself up, just barely so he could roll over. His head was throbbing at that point. Any more complicated movements and his brain might just explode from his head. His pretty amethyst eyes looked Piers up and then down, a cheeky grin lifted on his face,
❝ Aye, no wonder I let you cum in my mouth twice. Quite the looker aren’t cha? Care for a smoke and some hangover cuddlin’? ❞ Might as well shoot his shot. Worst that can happen is the stranger rejects him and leaves. Wouldn’t be the first. Probably wouldn’t be the last.
❦ Today, Milo has learned that most every Piers has an immeasurable amount of sass packed into that monochromatic hair. Milo will pout and no longer have concerns about Piers’ arguing with each other.
Ever.
No more concerns.
