Thinking about Ais and chubby MC/you, how his hands must flex a little by his side thinking about palming your softness and how it would be molded to fit in his large hands.
Belly, chest, thighs, arms—every plane of softness decorated with ribbons of stretch marks all make his fingers itch to touch.
It starts with lingering touches and playful pinches to your sides, wanting to see your round face scrunch up, angry at his teasing.
It evolves more to resting his hand on the dip of your back as he passes through a crowd or even holding your waist to pull you in when you need to hide. Anything to color your chubby cheeks.
At first it was just a fascination, something to both tease and admire from a distance with how cute you look compared to him. How odd it is to see such plushness in a world made mostly of sharp angles and gristle.
In a sense he almost wants to protect you—keep that softness preserved, lest the only thing that’s even remotely interesting in this world be sapped of its vitality and vibrancy like everything else has.
Preserving a softness he wishes to see in the world, even if the idea never passes his lips.
A little plump sparrow, cute and round and ready to chirp at him at a moment’s notice when his pinches get on their nerves.
More to love, more to tease.
It definitely crosses his mind how your doughy flesh can be squeezed and give under his grip when pounding into you; the need to breed scratching at the back of his brain (no help from a certain god) and seeing your round face in pleasure with rolls jiggling in each punishing thrust.
But he behaves.
He wants to hear you beg for it.
Softness and a shitty attitude—his ultimate weakness.
However, his affection for their plush form isn’t all playful and sexual; there’s an undercurrent to it.
One that he struggles to accept and let it be known: It’s an anchor for him.
Your softness is tangible, something to hold on to when the grip of reality slips through his fingers like sand, when Ocudeus takes hold and makes his mind a hostage in his own body.
To touch a softness that can drown out anything related to the Seaspring, the groupmind, Ocudeus— Even just for a moment, it makes the grit and harshness of a cruel world made slightly more bearable again.
The way his hands cherishes the folds, rolls and sagging skin is honest. Sometimes too honest for his own liking.
You’re a softness that he wants to protect. It’s not just for you, but for him as well.
A brutish monster that’s only familiar with destroying shouldn’t be given this kind of thing, shouldn’t be given you. Violence seeps into every pore of his being.
But despite himself, despite the whispers of Ocudeus coaxing to corrupt you to the Seaspring, the blood and gore soaked hands he has, wishes to hold you tenderly—even if the fantasy will only live in his head. Even if there’s a guilt wanting that.
It’ll never be spoken out loud. He’ll always hang back and protect from the sidelines just far enough to not reach your gaze if you don’t look for him, but close enough to always linger.
Close enough to protect, but far enough to not break you with his own strength.
Teasing, but still restrained in the chains of his making.
It’s what he believes he deserves for a monster like him—that it’s what’s best. That you deserve to kept in one piece.
And maybe someday it’ll stop hurting the way that it does.
drew an Acute chibi which means filling charts because i go crazy for those... some notes/rambling below
Acute's stupid luck stat is why they always escape from crazy situations and it validates their belief that they're pretty much invincible. they think there's someone, something looking out for them which is why they allow themself to be so reckless. that may be stupid of them BUT they haven't been proven wrong so far!
they also kind of love being in danger because it makes them feel alive. So they're also like that just for the hell of it
and for random relationship notes......
For Acute most interactions with others feel like they're being tested. Usually they disregard the feeling anyway but it's always refreshing to hang out with someone who doesn't seem to have some kind of expectations from them. Which is why they enjoy talking with Ais! Honesty is something Acute has always valued whether it's in others or herself but since coming to Eridia they appreciate it even more. So hanging out with Ais always feels like a nice break for them and they really just talk about anything. Also they like when he fights people because they get some kind of second hand adrenaline rush from it. Yeah
Acute doesn't even have to go out of her way to visit Kuras because by pure coincidence she usually runs into him once per day. It doesn't matter if she tries to avoid him because meeting him Will Happen. Not that she would do that anyway because she enjoys talking to him. They usually discuss very mundane things. His presence feels familiar to her somehow, but that probably means nothing and she has nothing to worry about
Acute likes Mhin (😮noooo way) and pretty much fell for them at first sight. I didn't end up putting it in her likes but Acute admires strong people and I'm mentioning this because I think Mhin saving them from a Soulless made a strong first impression on them because she was like 'wow. they're so skilled' and I think it did fuel her crush on them... Mhin hates how Acute is so ready to put herself in harm's way but they've probably saved her more than once. That asides they mostly run into each other when Mhin isn't doing commissions. Acute really likes watching them fishing but honestly they could be watching paint dry and she'd see it as a perfectly fine way to hang out
Vere eludes Acute. I actually wouldn't say they straight up dislike him, it's more like they feel neutral leaning towards negative. They have trouble understanding his intentions and everything about him and they don't like that. Also they just find him frustrating to deal with... their first encounter put a bad taste in their mouth
Acute trusts Leander... she considers him a good friend but they're not super super close. Still she's attached to him because he's the first person she's ever held bare hands with as far as she remembers and that has to count for something. In the chart I wrote "doesn't see herself getting any closer to him" and I think it's straight up her sixth sense making her feel like Yeah this is as far as things are going to go with him
this is what i have for now but knowing myself ill definitely majorly change something. maybe soon. but i at least wanted to post this here!
AHHHHH, I LOVE IT SM! Thank you for sharing it with me! The way he looks at reader got me biting my fingernail and twirling my hair ughhhh. I cackled at "voluptuous breasts" LMAO. Leander jiggle physics is REAL!
