requests are open, you say??? /bursting through your door

may I have a little bit of Haru? I dont really have a prompt idea, but I've been so starved of Haru content ;-; if I were to choose, I'd like to see him pining desperately for the reader (⃔ *`꒳´ * )⃕↝ but I'm open to anything – fluff, smut, yandere, I accept any crumbs 🤲

Sorry this took a while! My dumb-self decided to open up asks two days before I moved and then totally underestimated how exhausted I’d be after the fact!

But! Here you go! One Haru pining after the reader (feat. a bit of smut).

Enjoy the small crumbs I have sprinkled onto the ground. 💫

Jabberwok had always been a breath of fresh air. At least, this is what Haru had settled on in his own mind. Even with the various anomalous animals that would trot about the grassy plains or charge or nip or bite or simply just exist- it was peaceful in its own right. The simplicity only seemingly a surface level ideal. In reality, it was time consuming and chaotic and harsh and beautiful. It was beautiful.

A few anomalous cassowaries stamped their feet into the ground, angrily strutting about and letting out their loud screeches- much to Haru’s chagrin. Hands going to cover his ears briefly before watching them stomp away. Their daily routine of angrily nipping disrupted only by the sudden breach of your arrival. Haru’s day disrupted as well. A gentle breath as he would take in the sight of your gentle frame. Heart feeling as if it filled just as time would still itself.

God… you were a beauty.

Of course, even with the slowed nature of it all, Haru was fast. Arms thrown up in the air with enthusiastic greeting. “You made it! And just in time!” The words filled with energy that was matched by his quick and ecstatic tempo. Arms claimed out as if to wildly gesture at a small blanket that had once been neatly set down- now littered with wrinkles.

“It’s a beauty today, ain’t it?” The voice rang out, a lofty grin as Haru would confidently stride over to the blanket that was laid out. He’d plop down, patting the spot next to him- beckoning for you to come over.

With a slightly slower stride, you would find yourself soon sitting beside the Jabberwok Captain. The plush grass underneath allowing some give as you made yourself comfortable. The familiar weight of an arm casually flung around your shoulder as you’d turn to look over at those always crescent shaped eyes. Your own expression filled with brief confusion and a subtle tilt of your head. Haru would extend his other hand, the fabric of his glove gently grazing your cheek.

You found yourself unable to look away, your own hand extending over to gently brush some of his rusty red hair out of the way. His skin warm to the touch as a gentle breath drew from your lips.

The warm glow of the sun hung low in the air- an array of colors washing over the Jabberwok landscape. Oranges and pinks painting the skies above before morphing into more subtle purples and darker blues. Stars would begin to dot above, providing light that the sun had formerly offered. Twinkling as your body naturally would scoot closer to warmth as the night air grew only a little chilly.

There had been no words spoken in all of this. But the silence wasn’t unwelcomed. The two of you had spoken of this day- planned out meticulously. Such plans needed to be made in advance with how busy Haru found himself. But for you? Of course, he’d make the time.

The gloved hand that had been gently caressing you would move to take hold of your chin, turning you to face the ghoul- your heart picking up.

“Are you sure you wannna do this?” He would ask, his tone soft and searching for confirmation that this was something you wanted.

“Yes-“ was all you managed to breathe out, the smile Haru wore melting your heart.

The hand that had held your chin now guiding you in for a kiss, lips pressing to one another. His own only slightly chapped if only from the apparent neglect he put himself through to ensure all the anomalous animals were taken care of. It wasn’t off-putting, though.

Melting into the connection, you found yourself being pulled closer into Haru as his arms would guide you so you now sat atop his lap. The crashing of your lips grew more intense, filled with passion as the breathing between you both would fill the night air.

Soon, there was a shift and you had your back pressed into the wrinkled blanket- wide eyes staring up at Haru, who was towering over you. Even with his eyes closed, you could tell he was studying your every feature and taking in the sight of you beneath him.

Chirping from crickets would sing to the both of you as Haru would begin to undo the buttons of your shirt, pulling it open. Your chest bare and bathed in moonlight. A raspy breath shook its way from the ruddy redhead as both his gloved and ungloved hand would explore the exposed skin. You felt your breath hitch as two fingers would pinch a nipple, giving it a soft tug.

Body lightly twisting underneath as the hands would return to their roaming and exploration. The peeling of clothes was slow and drawn out- playful. Some garments removed with teeth and chuckles shared between the both of you at just how silly the ordeal had been.

Soon, the two of you were both bare, only the stars in the sky a witness between the intimate scenery below them. Limbs entwined and tangled as heavy breathing lifted in the air- kisses bringing you both closer. A few more giggles and breathless gasps before Haru had reached down to let his fingers dip into you, getting a feel for your inner warmth. A shudder running up his spine as the two fingers would slowly begin to pump inside of you- brushing lightly against the inners of your walls. Slow and methodical before they would spread to stretch you.

As the fingers would pull out, Haru would reach down to grasp his already glistening erection before pressing the tip against your prepped hole, holding it there as he let his head rub small circles before inching in. Each inch slow and stretching as a drawn out moan would pour from your lips, eyes screwing shut.

“Open them-“ Haru spoke through low and breathy words. “I want you to keep them open.”

You couldn’t help but to feel your cheeks burn as you’d oblige. Eyes slowly cracking open as you were met with the flushed cheeks of the ghoul above you. His own lips puckered as he gasped and settled himself deep within you- fully submerged. There was a brief pause, Haru wanting you to have a taste of the fullness within you before hips drew back and gave a purposeful thrust back in. Moans filling the night air as the repeated slow and forceful juts would cause your eyes to water and roll back. Hands found themselves busy with feverishly exploring your naked form.

Each time Haru would fully press in, he’d stay seated for a moment, roughly grinding and pressing deep inside of you. Each moan it would illicit from you causing the ruddy-red to shudder out a moan of his own. Hands shaky as nails would softly drag lines along your skin- never enough to break and draw blood. No, he never had intentions of hurting you. And this moment was too sweet to ruin with any accidents.

The passion between you both lasting as long as the ghoul wanted to drag it out- relentless in his drawn out movements. They would build up their pace as Haru felt his stomach squeeze- knowing it wouldn’t last much longer for him. A race home to get you to your edge and spill over. The quickened pace met with soft whines from the both of you as he’d jackhammer away, leaning down to sloppily meet your lips with his own. A thin sheen of sweat building up on your skin and his hair clinging to his forehead with sweat. The world buzzing in your ears, unsure if you were moaning loud or not. You were.

“Haru-“ the name wrenching its way from you as your own gut would squeeze and a warmth pooled around.

Haru knew exactly what that meant. He reached his goal, the thrusts unbearably fast and ragged before coming to a stop. His girth pressed deep inside as his seed would spill inside- remaining pressed in as his hips subtly would grind into you. The motions slowing to a still before he would catch his breath. Your body sprawled out on the blanket, which had become a tangled mess everywhere where there was not direct weight holding it down.

Staring up, you would watch the rise and fall of both your chests. Haru letting out a breathless chuckle followed by a soft groan when he pulled out. Some of the mess you both made spilling out.

“Aht… that won’t do-“ Haru would whisper out- unable to raise his voice any higher as he was quite spent from your intercourse.

“What won’t-?” You didn’t have a chance to finish asking before you were already receiving your answer. The lips you had moistened with your kisses now down below and giving the same passionate attention your mouth received. You couldn’t help but to gasp out, toes curling and legs screwing up as your hands shot down to grab onto the sweaty messy red strands. A light tug as you felt a tongue delve in to clean the mess that had been made.

Your eyes would close, melting once more as you felt yourself coming undone once again. Already sensitive from your last high. Haru, however, was relentless in the attention he’d give you. His tongue slipping in and out with practiced ease. The nights he had dreamt of exploring you with his mouth now finally coming true.

If he could, Haru would have gone another round. And then another. But that would leave you both ragged and unable to walk. The thought making him chuckle against your entrance.

“What..?” You breathed out, your own voice veering into a soft laugh. Haru was just infectious like that.

Pulling back and peering up with his crescent eyes, the ghoul would then move to pepper soft kisses to your inner thighs before murmuring against your skin, “You’re just so beautiful.”

The way he said it- it made your chest warm up. It was clear he meant it. And it made you feel so loved. Easy to believe anything he said. But Haru never struck you as a liar.

“And you’re handsome.” You’d respond back which only caused Haru to chuckle again. It’s not that he doubted your sincerity. It was just so warming to know that you thought he was attractive at all. After all, you were ethereal in your own right.

The night would end with the two of you cuddled against one another- fingers tracing lazy shapes into each other’s bare skin as you’d stare up at the night sky. Talk of constellations and dreams of the future spilling between the two of you until the air became too chilly and a few mosquitos decided to have a small snack of you both. Clothes returning and you’d return to the dorms, Haru going to gently cover your bug bites with anti-itching cream.

Hi! Hope you're having a good day! :D

I saw the tdb (is this the abbreviation?) requests and came hurrying to the inbox since the fandom is just starting to grow.

Anyways, for my request : current!MC still gets on my nerves a lot (is the devs i konw ) due to the lack of options in term of answers/interaction (like personally,curiosity would kill me no to go an discover this new world AND the mysteries around the boys ,home girl legit gets told about a clash that took place in the place she resides in as in the church?and just goes oh anyways ciao )

So I'm asking you what type of person would get the boys best in terms of compatibility?

(in no way I am saying that MC isn't a good match , i jist wanna see mor personality)

Have a nice day!!

Compatibility

What each of the boys would look for in terms of compatibility in a romantic relationship!

⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂☆

Frostheim

Jin

╰❥ A classy lady would be more of what he’s accustomed to. Dressed to the nines and back. Formal and proper. Someone who listens to what he says. A bonus if you could play piano with him. Or better yet, if you sing to his piano playing. Don’t mess up, though. He would expect you to always put your best foot forward. At least, in the public eye. Speak formally and quiet enough to never step over him. And a well paying job would be a must. That or you’re dedicated to staying full-time at home. The appearances matter, even if he, himself, stays locked up all the time.

Tohma

╰❥ There are two types of partners Tohma would find ideal. Someone completely wild that needs to be tamed- he likes a challenge. Or someone who’s a bit more on the quiet side- not shy. Just well-placed words. He would prefer someone who’s intellectually smart and knows how to read the room. Acting foolish isn’t an option. If you do, he’d let you know as such. A partner who plays chess and can keep on par with him would bring him the most joy.

Kaito

╰❥ If you exist and show him interest, he’s already into you. Will it bring him long-term happiness? Probably not. He needs to build some confidence in himself, first. Someone who’s willing to try new foods and go on silly walks and just act goofy with would be the best option. A laid back person who takes things in stride. But also patient with him and his self-deprecation.

Lucas

╰❥ Morning runs and then stopping to get coffee for the walk back- if you’re into that, then I think the two of you would hit it off well. Lucas would want to be able to support you and any endeavors you may have. So just communicate your worries to him. He’d love someone who wore their heart on their sleeve and were genuine in the way they held themselves. Kind hearted and sociable. He would want to be with someone who cared for others and takes action to help those in need.

Vagastrom

Alan

╰❥ In truth, Alan finds himself drawn to those who have themselves put together. He likes someone who’s headstrong but not stubborn. A go-getter, if you will. He especially likes someone who enjoys a lot of outdoor activities and a lot of quiet time. He’s not exactly on the up and up with technology or the current slang. But what he does know is that he just enjoys being around someone who can appreciate the quiet times and bask in the beauty of nature. He would prefer someone who is a bit on the patient side, as he is, but also enjoys someone who can tell him what to do from time to time. He’ll happily do it- so long as it’s in his scope to do so. Just don’t expect big and flouting words from him. He says it as it is in a simplistic manner. And he prefers someone who doesn’t have hidden meanings laced with each sentence strung together.

Leo

╰❥ You have to look aesthetically good for Leo to even consider you. Or rather… for it to be made public, this would be the case. He has to upkeep that vapid image of himself, after all. In reality, as long as you’re down to go along with his schemes, he’s going to entertain you for a while. If it’s sincere is up for you to decide. He’ll never tell you. If you’re truly trying to win him over, you’ll need to exercise a lot of patience and understand that he’s a man with a very clear goal and that will take priority. Just be there to catch him when he falls. He might fall head over heels, then. Maybe.

Sho

╰❥ Sho is sort of a mixed bag. His biggest thing is if he finds you interesting. Interesting being- are you vocal about what you like. He, like Alan, prefers someone forthcoming. But if you have some hidden meanings, he doesn’t mind either. Sho is here for a good time. Just don’t mind the fact that his best friend can be scathing at times. If you play sports, that’s a huge bonus. But if not, he’s also cool with you cheering from the sidelines. Date nights are a must for Sho. So be prepared to go on a lot of adventures together.

Jabberwok

Haru

╰❥ Work hard but play harder. That’s the motto you should live by if you want to impress Haru. He definitely needs the helping hand and he appreciates it too. But make sure you also take time to unwind! You have to love nature and animals enough to spend time caring for all the features in the anomalous safari regardless of the weather conditions. Kindness for all living things is a must but expect a lot of spontaneous dates and random purchases.

Towa

╰❥ Love and all things love related are important to Towa. Expect to be showered with many superficial understandings of love. And return these in kind. For Towa, it’s important that you can enjoy whatever whims he’s privy to. Saying no probably won’t do you any favors. So being agreeable and willing to drop whatever you’re doing would be the most beneficial. Lots of forward affection and hand holding and big and earnest hugs. Just be prepared to try and ease him whenever he’s upset.

Ren

╰❥ More than anything, Ren would love to find someone who’s an introvert and into gaming like himself. Movies- especially B Horror ones- are a date night must. Sarcastic humor is always appreciated. But be prepared to also give him lots of personal space. He’s not an outdoorsy guy. So indoor hobbies to compliment his own would likely draw him towards you the most. Have a stockpile of memes ready at your disposal because he also enjoys internet humor. Just don’t tell him you’ll be his discord kitten. He might freeze up at that. Outward affection would be harder for him to digest so subtlety is your friend when trying to win Ren over.

Sinostra

Taiga

╰❥ Good luck getting Taiga to remember you. You really have to stick out in his mind for him to even deign to care. A key way of doing as such would be to provide him with delicious anomalies. Once you do that, then you might have a chance. He’s going to prefer someone who simply provides what he wants. Which is fresh anomalies. If you can do that, then that’s all he really asks. Just don’t be surprised with his erratic behavior and violent tendencies. Especially if he suddenly forgets you.

Romeo

╰❥ For Romeo to so much as even look at you, you must have keen fashion sense. And not a blundering idiot. He doesn’t ask you to be a genius. Just act like you have an actual brain behind that thick skull of yours! Listen to whatever he demands from you and don’t make him repeat himself more than twice. If you enjoy runway shows, then he’d be more than happy to talk about the latest fashions with you. Skincare is also important. Much like Jin, he wants you to upkeep your appearances. But not for the face of it all. It’s because to be the best, you must look the best.

Ritsu

╰❥ Ritsu hasn’t really considered dating in the past nor has he put much thought of it for the future. At least, not on a deeper level than securing someone to continue the family name. However, if you’re strait-laced and by the book, he’s definitely going to think you’re a stand-up citizen and may feel privy to discussing the latest anomalous law lessons with you.make sure your mind is sharp and your tongue sharper. You shouldn’t show any struggle to keep up with his intellect. Just- remind yourself that he has a one-track mind and if he sees something as such, then it is. No matter how convincing you are.

Hotarubi

Subaru

╰❥ Subaru is a quiet and reserved guy. Which is to say, he would also prefer his partner to be quiet and reserved. If only so that unnecessary attention is not drawn to the both of you. He would prefer a partner who is on the gentle side, though perhaps a bit more firm than he is. And you should have some appreciation for the arts and theater. Someone who isn’t into too much touching would also be ideal- as he still feels insecure about being able to read others as he does when he makes that contact. Not to mention how it drains him. You would need to have confidence for the both of you, however.

Haku

╰❥ Laid back and going with the flow are two things Haku would definitely appreciate the most from you. As long as you’re not stressing out over every little detail, then he’s pretty happy. He would absolutely adore if you made him a bento box. The fact that you thought so highly of him to go out of your way to prepare a meal makes his heart melt. Just be prepared for him to disappoint you. At least, that’s what he’ll always say. He’s not worth the effort- or so he claims. So you’ll have to remind him often that he is, in fact, important.

Zenji

╰❥ Do you like the arts? Theater? Poetry? Dramatics? Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? If so, then Zenji will absolutely adore you to pieces. He’ll spend your every waking moment serenading you or showering you with words that can barely articulate his deep and confound passion for you. After all, you are epitome of beauty. Would you allow him to use you as his muse? Please say yes.

Obscuary

Ed

╰❥ Ed has had many a partner in his life. So he’s learned exactly what he likes in another. That being said, he does venture outside of his normal preferences often. Hard to not do so. It’s not that he gets bored but things become a tad predictable. He would absolutely love it if you watched YouTube videos with him but, for the most part, he’s just appreciative if you don’t nag on him like Rui does. Sure, you’ll have to ignore a few littered clothes on the ground and some blood stains on the bed and mystery liquid cups. But don’t worry! Rui will handle those! Rui handles everything! And maybe you can help Rui out, too? If it matters that much to you, at least. You just have to either look past his sloppy demeanor or help Rui out.

Rui

╰❥ Always the one to put effort and care for others- Rui seldom takes time to relax. Then again, it’s not as if he really could. He hates sitting around. He’ll be appreciative, though, if you help him out. The endless praises of thanks he’d sing when you help clean the bar up or tackle Ed’s disaster of a room. Just don’t expect to get too close to Rui. Physically or emotionally. There’s a wall there that he built to keep everyone around him safe. Near impenetrable. Even if you manage to get him to confess his feelings, he’s still guarded and insist you look for someone else. He understands, after all. There’s just certain things he can’t do for you. But he’ll do everything else he can to compensate. And he’ll never hold it against you if you leave him for someone better.

Lyca

╰❥ Don’t be weird about things. Too forward and he’ll be flustered and embarrassed. Probably even grossed out. But too reserved and he’ll just be confused. Hints will go way over his head. But what he does know is that he likes spending time with you because you’re fun! You don’t take things too seriously and you don’t freak out about him being part werewolf. He also appreciates that you take the time to help him figure things out. Just be sure to have patience to explain to him why certain things are not okay. He might be confused and frustrated but he still tries to learn and listen.

Mortkranken

Yuri

╰❥ Yuri is going to want someone who can listen to what he says and boss around. That isn’t to say- he wouldn’t be attracted to someone who makes the first move. He’d definitely be flustered, though. What he thinks he wants versus what he actually want are two different things. What’s important is that you are an intellectual. But not smarter than him. Oh no. He can’t have that. He wants to be the smartest in the room (for his ego).

Jiro

╰❥ You’ll have to have quite a bit of medical knowledge and an understanding that things are as they are. Patience will be required. And an understanding that sometimes things simply won’t happen due to Jiro’s own limitations. If you can offer that up, he’ll be as thrilled as he can show. It’ll be even better if you spend quiet nights sipping tea with him after his long stretch of working hours.

𓊆 Thank you for taking the time to read this! And thank you for the patience in waiting! I hope this is satisfactory for you. But if not, whoops! I tried my best so if you disagree, that’s cool. If you see spelling errors or typos- no you didn’t. 𓊇

[zomboivex]

Hi there! Hope you are doing super well. I have a HC request. How would Jin, Romeo, Ritsu, and Taiga; react to hearing MC singing and playing an instrument? Like a guitar, piano or harmonica.

Anyways! Stay hydrated and be sure to eat. I look forward to reading your work.

The Sound of Music

How Jin, Romeo, Ritsu, and Taiga would react to hearing my any musical talent from MC.

.・✫・゜・。. .・✫・゜・。. .・✫

Fingers would position themselves at the ready. Each key hit with the varying intensity needed- soft subtle tunes carrying through the building you called home. The piano, when you first found it, had been quite dusty. Clear that no one had paid it any mind for some time. Your hesitation to actually take a seat and play clad with the trepidation of each note that carried out from your delicate touch.

The build up from each key growing louder as you found a budding confidence within you. It had been some time since you last played. Since you last found any joy in music. Especially since you first came to Darkwick with the newly placed curse. That fact weighing heavy on your chest. But.. your time was nearing an end. The anomaly inside you growing- gnawing and chewing away at your own consciousness. Each day becoming that much harder to push through. So.. the least you could do was pour your heart out through the sound of music.

Each note carrying the weight of your feelings. Even if no one were here to listen, you hardly cared. It was a mournful song for yourself. Lamenting over what was to come. What had passed. What will never be.

Engrossed in your own melody, you wouldn’t hear the footsteps approaching from behind you.

𝓙𝓲𝓷 𝓚𝓪𝓶𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓲

Hands appeared beside you, the slender fingers carefully pressing onto the keys to complement the melody you were so carefully crafting. The subtly of your duet echoing up through the high-rise ceiling, reverberating throughout the Clementia halls. The two of you made quite the pair on the piano, the melody coming to its end before your eyes met the Frostheim Captain. His gaze icy and unwavering.

A nervous chuckle worked its way from your lips. “I wasn’t expecting any visitors.”

Jin’s gaze piercing through you before his answer, which came out in an assured mumble- what an odd combination, “I didn’t expect you to know how to play.”

Anxiously, you would look back at your fingers. The tips resting gracefully atop the keys. Long slender ones reaching over to now place gently over yours, pressing down as a few notes rang out in response.

“When did you learn how to play?” The question must have caught Jin by surprise because he would let his eyes rest to his hand resting on yours.

“Does it really matter?”

Maybe it didn’t. You asked to try and get to know the ghoul before you just a little more. But he didn’t seem too keen on giving away more information than necessary. Why would it matter, anyways? You wouldn’t exactly be around to remember the details, anyways. Not with the curse transforming you as it was.

“You play nice.” Your words quiet. Topic shifting from your question.

A smirk, albeit small, formed on the male’s lips as his hands pulled from yours, resting in position as he began to play once more. Your fingers going to match the duet. Notes of musical splendor dancing between the two of you and throughout the room and no words shared. There wasn’t a reason for either of you to say much else, enjoying the simplicity in the moment, instead. Let things be as they were. Enjoy what you could while you were able.

𝓡𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓸 𝓢𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓾𝓼 𝓛𝓾𝓬𝓬𝓲

You continued to play, the tempo picking up and crescendo building as the climax of the song began to take off. You were fully engrossed in the music you were creating, lost in the melody that carried your thoughts to a world with less worries. A more carefree time- before you had been cursed. Every ounce of feelings poured into each brushing of the keys until the music would lull down and stop.

A soft clap followed by their own build up as you felt your body stiffen up. Turning your head, you were greeted with a gaze that could pierce through your soul.

“I didn’t expect you, of all people, to know how to play. Color me impressed.”

Your posture relaxed slightly. Romeo wasn’t one to give compliments. So it was odd he found himself here, in Clementia, listening as you play. This time, you were acutely aware of the approaching footsteps as Romeo would come closer- now standing behind you.

Fingers brushed along the keys, the melody carrying your melancholy throughout. Gentle. Soft. Sad. The notes each heavy on your heart before the lilting sound came to a natural end. No clapping followed this time. Only silence.

A reminder that Romeo was there when he spoke, “You’re not allowed to give up, BB.”

Ah. There it was.

“Who’s going to be the one to help me keep that BTH in check!? And don’t even suggest Shinjo! He’s almost worse! I can barely keep it together! So you’re not allowed to turn into that thing! Do you understand me!?” The histrionics following as his words echoed throughout the cathedral of Clementia.

You couldn’t find your voice- letting Romeo on his tirade of colorful words before he finally seemed to stop, voice catching in his own throat. His emotions on full display. He always was one to make his displeasures known. But you were surprised he actually cared.

“I understand.” You respond back quietly, turning once again to look back at the Sinostra student. His eyes aching and the threat of tears lingering. So unlike him. And yet- perfectly like him, at the same time. “We still have time.” You reassured him. You reassured yourself.

𝓡𝓲𝓽𝓼𝓾 𝓢𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓳𝓸

The entrance of another was not lost on you, your playing coming to an abrupt halt as your gaze would turn to look over at the approaching figure. Ritsu Shinjo. The last person you had ever expected to see visiting you.

His expression was that always confident gaze- unwavering in the assuredness of his entire being. You had grown fond of this aspect of Ritsu. If you had any doubts, they were quashed when you saw how sure of any outcome Ritsu was. Never faltering. It had given you your own strength to pursue breaking your curse. Even now, with the end nearing, you still found yourself feeling hopeful with how sure he was.

“You play well. As expected of my partner.” The words of praise reaching you. And you couldn’t help but to smile at them.

“It’s just a small hobby. Nothing to boast of-“ you tried to remain humble.

To which Ritsu immediately would call you out on, “Why be shy about it? The world should know just how great you are!” He definitely seemed confused on the matter. Why wouldn’t you want everyone to know?

But the thought was banished when your hand gently pat the seat next to you. “Do you play, Ritsu?”

The paralegal would, with poised posture, sit beside you as you had requested. Hands covering over the keys before giving that trademark grin of his, “I do.”

And then he’d press down, an elegant melody following. One you barely recognized. But the strokes were simple and easy enough to follow along so you’d let him take the lead.

The two of you would play together, your trepidation of each note clear while the radiant confidence from Ritsu would guide you along. Eventually, the song would reach its conclusion and, ever so gently, you felt a brief touch to your hand. The ghoul having brushed his fingers softly to the top of your hands before retracting. As if he could only interact momentarily. And- for a second- you thought you saw a hint of melancholy in his eyes. Brief. But it was there.

Perhaps Ritsu wasn’t as confident in the outcome as you had been hoping he’d be.

“The fuck is this?” A familiar voice spoke out, your hands pausing and head whipping around. Surely, you were just as confused as Taiga was. After all, what was he doing here? Of all the people to walk in on you- it had to be him.

“Taiga, what are you-?” Before you could continue asking, the ghoul would lazily plop down beside you on the bench. His eyes landing on the keys. For a moment, you thought that the two of you would have a moment. His own hand hovering over as if ready to press down. Did Taiga know how to play…?

This thought was quickly banished when the loud mashing of notes caused your ears to ring and eyes to squint. The abrupt noises ending as quickly as they had started and wild eyes meeting yours.

“How’d you make it sound so good?” Another mash of keys as if to emphasize his question. A bit of a smile tugging at your lips in response.

Fingers going to delicately take their place before softly pressing down. Once. Twice. Then you’d speak, “You press gently. Slow.”

Taiga observed for a moment before he’d go to place a finger on the key, pressing down as the string would vibrate to create a softer sound than before. A few soft taps. And then he’d stop, watching your hands.

“Show me how you made music.”

You would oblige, going to begin a softer melody. Taiga watching and observing. He would never remember how to play. But he wanted to remember how you played. So he would etch the melody you presented into his mind as best as he could.

You had been practicing for hours, it seemed. The instrument firm in your hands as fingers plucked at strings. Thankful you lived alone in Clementia. Not because of shame but it made practice less distracting. The twinge of strings resounding throughout as your banjo played its bop. You had been engrossed in what you were doing- the gasp that followed shocking you as your eyes widened to meet equally (and surprisingly widened) eyes. Ones you had never seen before. Though you looked away quickly- afraid to make contact for long. Your cheeks burning.

“You know how to play banjo!?” The words excited as they left the ghoul in question.

“Y-yes.” You stammered.

Haru would give a toothy grin. In true Sims fashion, he would produce his own banjo from his pocket. And he would begin to play. Your nervous demeanor melting as you’d soon join in. And the both of you joyously playing the banjo together in Clementia halls.

Thank you so much for your patience! I hope this is satisfactory for you. I’m not really much of a music person, myself. But I still had fun writing this.

How Each TDB Guy Would Brutally Reject You

You ever wonder what the guys would say when rejecting you? Now you can find out through this post.

Enjoy.

⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂☆

Today was the day. Your chest racing with excitement as you clutched onto the little flower bouquet you picked out. You were going to confess your feelings! You had mustered up the courage to finally tell him how he’s made your heart flutter and squeeze with excitement and joy. As you approach him, you feel each step quiver and your breathing quicken. Your legs carry you quickly as you spot him. And before you know it, you shove the flowers away from your chest and out to him and blurt, “I really like you ___!”

Frostheim

Jin Kamurai - Jin was currently standing next to Tohma. They were seemingly discussing some important business. With your sudden outburst, the Frostheim king gave you a once over before his face scrunched into obvious disgust. Without address you directly, he speaks to Tohma, “Tell this poor to get away from me. I can feel myself slipping into poverty every second they breathe the same air as me.”

Tohma Ishibashi - “Oh. How….” Well, how did you expect him to really respond? You could tell he was trying to think of what words to conjure up. You hadn’t expected him to finish with, “Utterly basic and tactless. I’m afraid I’m far too busy to try and pretend to entertain your antics right now. Now if you’ll excuse me.” And he simply walks past you as if you were just another stranger on the street.

Kaito Fuji - An awkward laugh escapes him as he averts his gaze. He’s unable to make eye contact as the words leave, “I know I complain that Lucas steals all the girls but…” He would let a hand move to rub the back of his neck, trailing off. At your deflated expression, he quickly adds on, “I’m sure there’s someone out there who’s into you! Just- not me.”

Lucas Errant - The confession took Lucas by surprise, taking hold of the flowers you thrust upon him. Eyes widen at your nervous demeanor and he tries to play off the situation, “Oh- I think I hear someone calling my name.” He turns and leaves. Quickly. He doesn’t want to stick around and continue this conversation with you. You can see him, further in the distance, toss the flowers into the trash and continue on his way.

Vagastrom

Alan Mido - “No.”

Leo Kurosagi - The confession immediately brought a laugh out. Taking the flowers gingerly from your hands, his honeyed eyes meet yours. And then, as you feel as if perhaps this went over better than you anticipated, it began. He’d pluck each petal off. One by one. An insult for each petal removed and flippantly tossed in your general direction. “Your skin looks like a dried and cracked road. You literally look like you wear clothes you fish from the dumpster. I get confused and think I got lost in Frosthell whenever I pass you because of all the dandruff your weed-looking hair produces-“ the insults continue until each flower is bare and he shoves them back at you. And leaves.

Sho Haizano - He was busy working in his food truck when you confessed. His brow raised. “I would rather drink all the frier oil in here than ever hear you say those words again.” And proceed to return to work. If you try to speak to him any further, he simply ignores you. He cannot hear. The kitchen is loud.

Jabberwock

Haru Sagara - Peekaboo was currently being fed as you snuck up and poured your feelings out to the unsuspecting Jabberwock Captain. As you finish up, he awkwardly looks between you and Peekaboo before giving a salute and speaking his incantation. “Bahnti!” And he bolts away. He will avoid you at any cost until you simply get the hint.

Towa Otonashi - The disgust on Towa’s face was clear. He’d yank the flowers from you angrily and toss them to the ground. His foot coming down to stomp on them. Clouds bubbling in the sky and rain suddenly pouring down, drenching you. A cracking noise filling the air. You book it before the interaction can escalate any further.

Ren Shiranami - “No thanks. I’m only into 2D girls.” He doesn’t even bother looking up from his phone to really acknowledge you. He has better things to do and more interesting (2D) people to talk to.

Sinostra

Taiga Hoshibami - “Who the fuck are you?” He grabs his gun and cocks it, pointing it at your face. “Get the fuck away before I paint the walls with you.” You can’t even get another word out as he begins to count. You scurry away.

Romeo Lucci - “I would rather experience poverty than to ever be seen with the likes of you. If I ever considered dating you, it’s because my life has hit the ultimate low and I’m practicing self hatred.” He doesn’t even stop to take a breath. “You’re a BB who doesn’t know their place. Why would I ever consider being with someone who’s more insignificant than the dust next to my nonna’s urn.”

Ritsu Shinjo - The uncanny smile never leaves him. “If I am to be Japan’s greatest lawyer, I would need a partner who matches my enthusiasm and passions.” He shakes his head and places a hand to his chest. Eyes closing briefly before reopening as he’d continue, “I would be doing myself a great disservice to consider letting you become my partner. Respectfully, I decline your offer.”

Hotarubi

Subaru Kagami - A confused expression forms. Subaru wasn’t sure you were actually confessing to him. This surely had to be some sort of… set up….? His eyes searching the area around to see if there are any snickering bystanders that put you up to this. Then his eyes fall back to you. An apologetic smile forming. “I’m not sure I’m hearing you correctly. You’re wanting to date me..?” You give a nod. And the ghoul seems to consider how to respond. “Not every flower attracts bees, I’m afraid.” And then he excuses himself and walks away.

Haku Kusanagi - “What do you expect me to say to that?” He shakes his head, a palm pressing to his forehead. He would let the hand drop back to his side before sighing. “I’m not sure either of us are worth the effort.”

Zenji Kotodama - “Oh! The dramatics, my dear!” He gasps out- believing your confession to be a form of artistry. But you stare at him expectantly and it dawns upon him that you are, in fact, being serious. He speaks again, “Perhaps it is because I’m no longer of this world- but I do not feel any excitement rushing through my chest at your words.” A pause. “You should send your confessions to that lout, Haku! The two of you would be a much better pair than you and I.”

Obscuary

Edward Hart - “I have lived a very long time, my dear, and have been confessed to a thousand and one ways.” A pained sigh leaving the vampiric captain. “Of all the confessions I’ve received, yours is the one that invokes the most disgust from within. I can feel my bones ache just from simply entertaining the potential thought of us together.” He’d look around, “In fact- can you find Rui and ask him to let my misery end? I don’t think I can continue after that brazen display from such a simplistic face.”

Rui Mizuki - At your sudden confession, Rui would blink and stare. It took him a moment to really process your words. Sure- he was confessed to a lot. But yours was just…. well… it was something. He’d take one of his gloves off and then carefully take the flowers, letting them wilt from his touch. Then retract and put the glove back on. “I don’t think a relationship with you would be worthwhile. Why don’t you ask someone with lower standards? Like Ed.”

Lyca Colt - “What?“ He seems more confused than anything else. And his face soon scrunches up in annoyance. “You’re talking like those girls that are obsessed with that blond gigolo.” His disgust was becoming apparent. “Don’t talk like that to me again. It makes me feel gross.”

Mortkranken

Yuri Isami - “Are you seriously disturbing my studies for something so trivial as a confession?” His words exasperated and almost shrill. “Why would I even consider someone with an IQ so low it detracts from my own?” He shakes his head. “Now, either make yourself useful and help move this body. Or get out of my way. I don’t have any more time to waste on your pointless feelings.”

Jiro Kirisaki - Staring down at you, his expression remains neutral. You can’t tell what he’s thinking until the words tumble out with no filter. “This seems like a conversation that you should have never started.” He then returns to the job Yuri had given him, ignoring your presence until you simply leave.

Hello hello hello,

May I humbly request Sho (my babygirl) taking the PC for a ride on his motorbike? And then when they get where they gotta be maybe he made food for them and they have a little picnic under the stars 👉👈

Thank you for having the patience of a god. I will now sprinkle upon you a date with Sho under the stars.

Reader x Sho

ஓ๑♡๑ஓ

“What are you up to, lazy bones?”

Your thumb brushes the screen to hit send, flipping back against the plushness of your bed. Eyes falling up to the ceiling with a dramatic sigh wrenching out from you. In truth, you had been incredibly bored the last few days. And the fact that no one had seemed to go out of their way to interact with you had driven you up a wall. Truly maddening.

A ding from your phone and your eyes fell to the screen. Oh. He messaged back quickly. A bit of the boredom now leaving your eyes as you excitedly read the words across your screen.

“Just about to take Bonnie for a ride. Wanna come with?”

A moment to collect yourself. You didn’t want to come across as too eager to hang out. That would be totally lame on your part. So you let a few minutes pass by- not long enough for your texting partner to up and leave. But enough to make you not seem as desperate for attention.

“Rly? That would b rad.” Send.

Apparently Sho didn’t seem to care if he seemed eager. His message back prompt enough.

“Meet me at the garage.”

Sitting abruptly from your bed, you’d go to check yourself in the mirror. After all, you didn’t want to look like a total slob. Your inspection passing before throwing on a Jean jacket and mussing your own hair so it didn’t look too flat. And then prompt and quick footsteps from your room down the creaky wooden steps. Through the halls of the cathedral’s chapel- stained glass shining from the light outside. And then out the door. The air cool, inwardly glad you grabbed the jacket. Being on Bonnie would only make things chillier.

Vagastrom wasn’t terribly far from where you stayed. Not as far as Jabberwock- which felt as if it were on the outskirts of the Academy. Or Obscuary, which was hidden behind that gloomy forest. Or Sinostra, an oasis in the middle of an aired desert. Your brisk pace slowing to a more meandering one as you quickly shot a text to Sho.

“Omw. Just passing the main hall.”

Another quick response, “Take ur time.”

At this, you found your pace quickening. Sure, Sho said to take your time but- how could you possibly keep him waiting any longer? Your legs carrying you all the way to Vagastrom through the car park and then to the garage. The familiar scent of gas and oil hitting your nostrils, scrunching up briefly from the assault of scents.

Eyes would peer around the room, suddenly your nerves hitting you as your legs feel like jello. You were too fast, it seemed. Sho wasn’t ready yet. He wasn’t here. Your emotions causing you to briefly deflate.

A hand on your shoulder, nearly jumping from your skin in surprise. “Didn’t think you’d sprint to get here.” The words teasing. Your expression going from surprise to mild- albeit playful- annoyance.

“Sprint? Hardly.” The words leaving in mock frustration before you could no longer hold back your giggles.

“I’m just teasing.” Sho responded back, hand falling from your shoulder to now rest by his side. The other holding a bag. “I just fed Bonnie so we’re good to go.” His stride long before stopping in front of the familiar bike. A hand patting the cold exterior. “She’s eager to go.”

That said, the Vagastrom ghoul would mount said bike, throwing a helmet on and motioning for you to do the same. You had grabbed one of the spare helmets, securing it nicely before getting onto the bike and wrapping your arms around the firm waist of your riding companion.

Not much was spoken as Sho would hit the gas and speed you both from the garage. The wind whipping at your jean jacket and helmet. Your adventure taking you around campus in speeds you normally don’t get to travel. And just a further out until you had reached what was seemingly a field. Sho parking Bonnie and slipping off. His hands offering to help you to your own feet. Then a gentle pat to his bike.

The spot you had arrived to was unfamiliar to you. Having never been to this part of campus.

“Where… are we?” You asked tentatively, your hands shoving into your pockets as Sho seemed too busy about the bike before grabbing the bag he initially had.

“Darkwick Academy.” He answered.

You rolled your eyes.

“Where, in Darkwick Academy?” You prompted further, hoping to not get another half-assed answer.

“Just a bit away from Mortkranken.”

Oh. You weren’t sure why you had expected a different answer. But you wouldn’t dwell on it. Instead, you would look at the rolling fields of green. Breeze gentle as your hands moved up to remove the helmet. Hair messy but not in a way that was flattering like before. This earned a laugh from Sho as he would reach over to brush fingers through your hair to help tame it.

“So-“ you spoke, playfully swatting the hand away when your hair was a bit more manageable, “What are we doing here?”

“Hmm? It’s not obvious?” The Vagastrom silverette tilted his head in confusion. As if you had asked the most oblivious question in the world. “We’re gonna eat.” He hoisted up the bag. “Made some bourbon chicken.”

You gave him a slow blink before a laugh escaped from you. “Alright. Sure.” Going with the flow as you’d follow Sho from Bonnie to the grass. No real fancy set up as you two sat down and watched the clouds float on by.

The food, in of itself, was delicious. But that was hardly a surprise. Sho was an excellent cook. The way the sauce on the chicken soaked into the meat- the tenderness of it all. Then there was the rice and black beans- perfectly seasoned. The warmth it brought your belly and the fullness it gave you.

Casual conversations filled the air as you both discussed your time at Darkwick, hopes and aspirations for the future- and just generally shooting the shit. Laughed filling the air before the blue sky began to morph into orange and pink hues. Then purples and finally darkened as stars began to fill the sky. Neither of you had realized just how much time has passed in your conversation- unbroken in your shared time together.

The air had started to grow chilly and you found yourself unconsciously scooting closer towards Sho. A large arm wrapping around your shoulder and tugging you close. Head now resting on his own shoulder. Both of your eyes up at the night sky.

Maybe it was because Darkwick was on an anomalous island. Normally the light pollution caused the sky to look dreary. Lightened. But… here…? The full galaxy felt like it was on display tonight. Splatters of far distant lights scattered on the sky. The surrounding sound now a low hum of crickets.

“You know-“ you began.

“I know.” Sho responded. Whatever you had to say, he was aware of it. A squeezed side hug. “You don’t have to say it. I know.”

You rolled your eyes. “You have no idea what I was even gonna say.” A laugh but you didn’t seem like you were actually annoyed.

“Hmm… let me guess-“ his words veering into teasing again. “You’ve fallen so madly in love with me.”

Your cheeks dusted pink.

“Bingo.”

“W-well!” You began to stammer out, “I wouldn’t say it like that!”

“Then how would you say it?”

“Just that you’ve become like…. super important to me. That’s all.”

“That’s all?”

“Yeah.”

“You’ve become super important to me, too.”

A romantic date with Alan

Please and thankiess

One romantic date with Alan coming up (very much late but shhhhh)

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Alan x Reader Short Fic

Light Fluff

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Alan had never been the romantic sort. In fact, dating wasn’t something that he had really even considered being on the table for him. Much too preoccupied with fixing up anomalous cars and his duties as Captain. But here he was, fumbling with his phone in his large hands, unsure of what words he could really say to confess what was on his mind.

Words were hard, after all.

‘I need to talk to you’

No.

‘I want to twll you something’

Deleted.

‘Come talk to ne’

He couldn’t send that.

Eventually, he settled with, ‘Meet me at fhe garag2’.

The message sent and there was no going back now. It came through with ease to you, unable but to stare a bit confused at the message.

It was unlike Alan to request your presence unless it was something important. So you replied with a simple, ‘Is everything okay?’ in hopes to get a little more information.

‘Yes’

Okay….

‘I willl see you art 3.’

Well…. You didn’t really get any further answers as to what it was Alan wanted. So, with a light sigh, you focused on your remaining classes for the day. Not that you had many left. Only two and both were in subjects you performed rather well in.

The classes, as you had predicted, slipped by quickly. Rushing out the door and to the Vagastrom territory. Even though Alan had said everything was okay, you still couldn’t help but to feel a bit uneasy. A lump settling deep within your stomach as the lot with cars came into view.

Your steps hastened and soon you found yourself in the garage you had grown familiar with. The various whirls and scrapes of tools one you had grown used to hearing. Oil, gas, and other fumes thick in the air. Groups of rowdy students either talking loudly to one another or eying you as if you were prey. Shrinking in on yourself, you stepped further inside and nervously would look around for the Vagastrom Captain.

“What’re ya doin’ here?” One of the particularly larger students asked, practically looming over you. If you were ice, you would have melted right there on the spot. “Lost?”

“N-no-“ the words sputtered from your lips, shrinking in further as another of the students approached with a booming laugh. You felt as if you had walked into a den of lions ready to read you apart. No matter how often you came to the garage, it was still a frightening experience without any familiar faces.

“Bet they’re lookin’ for Cap!” The student who greeted you first spoke up.

“Ohhhh right- right!” The laughing guy added on with a knowing grin as the two exchanged a look. “I’ll go get ‘em.” And with that, he turned to walk inside, leaving you with the menacingly tall student from before.

“Cap’s been talkin’ ‘bout you nonstop.” He finally spoke up. Your cheeks a bit rosy before confusion took over.

“What…?” You asked, meekness seeping in.

“Oh. Yeah. Said he wanted to tell you-“ before he could finish, a large hand came down on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze. “Aahaaaa- Cap, I was just tellin’ your friend that you were talkin’ ‘bout ‘em.”

Steely eyes would look you once over- expression stoic. Voice matching, “Let’s go.” His hand removed from his fellow student before going to walk off, hands returning to his sides.

You would glance at the student once more before going to follow Alan, who was walking out to the car lot you had just come from. Each step Alan took you’d have to match with two of your own- the ghoul making note of and slowing his own pace down. Your confusion washing over you as you weren’t sure where exactly the large ghoul was going.

“Alan-“ you spoke up, almost breathless.

No response, but Alan would slow his pace down further. A more reasonable one that you could match.

“Where are we going?”

No response, still. You found yourself growing flustered with the lack of answers, your foot stomping into the ground briefly and the words boomed from your chest before you could really even stop them, “Alan! Tell me where we’re going!”

Stopping completely in his tracks, Alan would turn to face you. Expression unreadable until he gave an apologetic gaze.

“Sorry.” A long pause. “I wanted to show you my favorite spot on campus.”

You found yourself blinking in surprise at this. And then an embarrassed chuckle escaped.

“You should have just started with that-“ the words pressing out through awkward and nervous laughing.

Alan was quiet, again. Steely eyes watching you briefly as if to contemplate what to say next. You could tell he was putting careful consideration into his words, eyes dropping down to the ground in thought before raising up to meet your own, again.

“Sorry.” Another simplistic response. “I wanted to surprise you.”

At this, you couldn’t help but to soften your gaze, a smile tugging at your lips and chest warming from within. There was just something endearing about the way Alan spoke. Simple and to the point. Even if he glossed over the details. It was direct yet soft at the same time.

“It’ll still be a surprise when we get there.” You responded with your own gentle voice, wanting to remove any discouragement that may have followed the Vagastrom Captain. It seemed to work as his normally neutral face formed a small smile followed by a nod of understanding.

Alan began walking, again. This time, starting slow so you could keep up. The walk to the destination silent. A comfortable one that the two of you shared in. Winding through a path that went out just past the Jabberwock grounds and then a little further out until you reached the edge of the island.

The sandy surface a surprise as you’d briefly glance over to the ghoul. He would walk along the shore before speaking up, “Usually, I prefer the woods.”

This information a surprise to you. Alan rarely spoke of his own interests. He was a quiet man who simply acted rather than explain. A charm about that. But- here he was now- telling you about his own preferences.

“So what do you like about this place?” Your words quiet- as if trying to maintain the gentleness of the conversation.

“The waves.”

You must have given Alan an odd look because he soon launched into an explanation.

“No one comes here so you can listen to them.”

Ah… so he found it peaceful out here. Briefly, you wondered if Alan was the type of person who enjoyed fishing. But that thought was brushed off as he would meander off a little ways. Following behind until he stopped at a log. A hand gently patting the spot beside him. You’d join him, getting situated as silence settle between you both.

Remaining like this, the two of you would enjoy the simplicity of one another’s company. No words really needed to be spoken, the sea waves being all the noise either of you needed.

For the first time, since coming to Darkwick, you found some inner peace. Quiet. Complacency.

“I like you.” The words sudden, tearing you from your trance of the ocean. Your head turning slowly to look at Alan.

“What…?” Had you heard him correctly?

“I like you.” Repeated. Voice raised only subtly. Your eyes carefully examining that neutral expression. Was…. this a joke….?

No.

Alan wasn’t the type to tease you like that.

Your heart was on its way to thump out of your chest. Cheeks burning as you opened your mouth to speak only letting out a soft gasp in surprise.

“I- like you too.” You managed to stammer out.

Alan’s face softened at this. Hesitating as he seemed unsure of what to say. So he simply returned to silence.

“Alan-“ his name soft from your lips, “you make me feel safe.” A brevity of silence. “You’re patient and kind. Gentle. You put others before yourself. And you’re safe. I never feel like I’m in danger when I’m with you.”

“You should-“

“But I don’t.”

More silence. Alan’s body rigid as his gaze returned to the gentle waves lapping upon the shore.

You decide to inch closer. Legs brushing against one another as you look up at the tall ghoul. He didn’t pull away. And so you took that as a sign, your arms reaching up and around his shoulders- neck- lightly pulling him down so your foreheads could press against one another.

“I like you, Alan.” Reiterated with more confidence than before. “You should like you, too.”

The quiet made you unsure if you had said something wrong. Then strong arms would wrap around you, tugging you in close and pulling you into his chest. A hand running along your back gently before you relaxed into the touch and closed your eyes. The embrace warm as the sea spray cooled you both down from a sudden large crash. Pulling back from the chill it sent up your spine, you began to laugh.

It was now Alan’s turn to look confused. Brows furrowed deeply with observation. No questions came, though. Instead, a large hand moving to push some strands of damp hair from your face- thumb brushing lightly along your brow bone. Your eyes meeting his and your hand reaching up to bring his large one down to caress your cheek.

Fingers brushed gently against your skin as you both would stare into each other’s eyes. The Vagastrom Captain dipping down briefly and your heart skipped a beat. His voice a low rumble, “Can I kiss you?”

A nervous swallow. A quiet, “Yes.” And then you felt his lips upon your own.

Maybe you had been holding your breath the entire time because when he parted, you would shakily exhale.

“Are you okay?” The question serious.

“Yes-“ a pause “kiss me again.”

And another soft press of the lips as your arms wrapped around his large frame. His own hands pulling you in closer to his chest. This one lasting longer, lashes batting up at Alan- his gaze soft. Making you feel as if you’d melt on the spot.

The breeze would pick up, a small chill running along and causing goosebumps to form along your skin. Clouds gathering above and threatening to burst. Eyes drifted towards the sky. This island always did have temperamental weather.

“We should go back.” Alan spoke, verbalizing what the two of you had been thinking.

You give a light nod and stand. A brief moment of hesitation before you decided to take Alan’s hand in your own, working your fingers together. As you did, rain began to sprinkle down. Slow, at first, before building up into a downpour. The two of you rushing to find shelter from the sudden storm.

Looking at Alan, you couldn’t help but to laugh again. His own hair stuck against his skin, reminding you of a wet cat. Your free hand reaching up to push his bangs from his eyes, admiring him for a brief moment. He’d only pull back to remove his jacket, the leather drenched as he’d turn from you to shake it out- an attempt to keep any more water from hitting you. Then, Alan would turn back around, going to place the jacket over your shoulders.

“I don’t have an umbrella.” The words apologetic. And you smiled up at him.

“That’s okay.”

With the jacket snug on your shoulders, you would huddle closer to the Vagastrom Captain, soaking in his warmth briefly. The rain didn’t look like it would let up any time soon, the ground soaked. A deep breath.

“Want to run through it?” You asked, glancing up at the ghoul.

He would blink in response- a bit perplexed by the suggestion made.

“I don’t think it’ll stop raining in the near future.” You reiterated lightly.

Alan thought it over for a moment. An idea striking him.

“I’ll carry you.”

Your head tilted slightly.

“Hold the jacket over us and I will carry you back. We might stay dry, then.”

“O-okay.” The word stammered out slightly and, without hesitation, Alan would scoop you up and place you on his back. You would lift the jacket to cover your heads- a bit of your back exposed to the chilly air. Strong hands holding your thighs in place as the trek back to Vagastrom would begin.

The world wet and damp as the garage came into view, Alan would only set you down once the both of you had made it inside. The concrete at your feet now wet with footprints. Another shiver ran up along your spine, Alan noticing this.

“Stay here.” Short and to the point as he would go to turn and walk inside. Alan would return shortly after, a fuzzy and warmed towel in hand. He’d wrap it around you, burritoing you and making sure you would be dry and cozy.

When the weather finally let up and you no longer were soaked to the bone, you’d wave your goodbyes to Alan. A renewed sense of comfort in your companionship with the ghoul- heading back to your own residence.

Amalgamate

Ed x Rui - 18+ MDNI - 2k Word Count - Not Proof Read

Death clung to him, like a thick lacquer. Hardened and discoloring. The scent carrying thick in the air. But nothing stuck out quite like the look in his eyes. Hollowed out. Dark rings circled under his eyes in deep shades of purple. As if sleep evaded him.

In truth, it did.

But was that necessarily a problem?

Rui was sure if he did manage to find sleep that his nights would be endless hauntings of those around him withering away. A single touch only bringing upon decay. And those sunken faces with their own hollowed eyes would stare back. Deep into the abyss that was his life. The thought quickly shaking away.

No. He wouldn’t entertain this chain of thoughts right now.

The cool air whisking the reaper cursed male back into reality. Better to not lose focus. That’s how accidents happen…

One gloved hand carefully lifted the wilted bud. Seems this one wasn’t quite cut out for this world. A finger lightly caressing the lifeless petal. Once colored and bright now ready to crumple to the touch. A pair of small sheers raised, clipping the dead bud from the tree. Perhaps this was symbolic…

For the tree to flourish, you had to rid it of decay. Maybe.. this was what his life would be now? These thoughts only briefly entertained. Focus.

Focus…

A soft exhale followed.

Onto the next tree. A repeated process.

Focused.

Once any rot was clipped, Rui would silently go to collect the falls from off the ground, placing them into a bag to burn for later. Maybe roast something in the fire. After all, it was the simple things.

Little moments in time that you learn to appreciate.

Thoughts often ran through Rui’s mind. Racing and never ending. No real way for a brief respite. So it was the little things that kept him sane.

Pruning and weeding the garden.

Soil clinging to his gloves.

Smell of the earth. Damp. Soft.

A bed of flowers.

Wiping down dust from the railings and bannisters. Polishing the floors.

Shoes and socks strewn about. Carefully collected and placed in their rightful homes.

Tidied and organized.

Clothes washed and hung out to dry. Silken sheets belonging to each member of the house. All occupied only by their isolated bodies.

The smell of detergent.

A crackling fire, warm in its embrace.

The glow filling the hall.

Burning wooden scent throughout the home.

Cozy endless nights.

The bar and its occupants. Spilling out their woes. A place of echoes with a gentle smile, accepting these worries and responding with his own kind words.

Bonding moments.

Thoughts.

Thoughts like these.

And the occupants, lively in their own ways, made Rui feel less alone. There was Ed, with his endless mountain of laundry and disheveled appearance. The room he often would remain within a mess in its own right. His overly flirtatious nature almost rivaled Rui’s. Though, Rui would always say he had a bit more class than Ed. Still, there was also a hidden wisdom in every spoken word. Like a puzzle with pieces hidden away with purpose. Ready to reveal the full picture but only when Ed was ready to show his hand.

Then there was Lyca. Also messy. Not as messy as Ed, though. His own was contained to his room and only applied to how it smelled. Appearance wise, it was fine. Aside from a few strewn about clothes and an unmade bed. Not the worse. His energy certainly was infectious. Loud and boisterous. Bumbling in excitement and always asking a million questions or saying something utterly baffling and blunt. But pure in his demeanor.

Still - lively was good. It kept Rui busy.

The work in the garden went by seamlessly as these thoughts circled about. Returning and repeating. Until every weed was pulled and anything that withered was pruned. A bag filled soon enough and brought over to where the reaper cursed male often burned the remnants away.

Maybe tonight- he’d have a bonfire.

Inviting Ed and Lyca to join him. They might decline but- the offer always stood. And even if he wound up alone, Rui would simply treat himself. A little self-care went a long way.

Onto the next task.

Always the next task.

Stepping inside, pale ruby eyes would scan the foyer, shoes slipping off and exchanging into the comfortable indoor slippers Rui was fond of. A trail of socks greeting him. Hadn’t he just picked these up…?

A sigh worked its way out from the reaper cursed male as he would go to grab a basket for collection. Bending over, each sock was gathered before Rui made his way first to Lyca’s room. A gentle knock.

“Lyca, are you in there?” No answer. He must be out. Good for him. It was important for him to try and integrate with others. A hand reaching to turn the knob before entering. A few clothes scattered about soon placed into the basket with the socks. The blanket Lyca adored remaining on his bed. Well- Rui would just pretend to not notice it.

Then, off to Ed’s room. A place Rui was intimately familiar with. If only because he cleaned it frequently enough. Every inch having been scrubbed at some point. Meticulous. Only for it to wind up dirty quicker than he could really keep up with it.

A soft knock. Greeted with, “Come in.” And a stream of coughs.

Stepping inside, the first thing Rui would spot was the utter chaos of the room. Clothes strewn about. Mystery liquid cups everywhere. Ugh. He didn’t even want to think of what was inside those. Moonlight basking over and creating a pale glow throughout the room. On the bed, stark naked, was his captain. Legs entangled in the sheet. Hair mussed and eyes glazed over as they would stare fixedly into the small screen held in his hands.

“When’s the last time you cleaned in here?” Exhaustion evident in Rui’s tone.

“Mmm…. Rui, you know I’m no good at cleaning.”

This was only met with a quiet grumble of, “then what are you good at?”

The Vice-Captain was carefully collecting dirty clothes, ignoring the fact that the vampire was completely nude- save for small sections wrapped in his blanket. His movements brisk but careful. Only glancing over towards Ed when he heard shifting on the bed. The vampire now sitting upright, crimson red eyes meeting the pale ruby ones and lips slipping into a devious smirk. Knowing.

“I’m wounded, Rui.” Here he goes…. “I’m good at plenty of things.”

An eye roll was earned and the basket set aside. Attention moving to the mystery cups. Carefully picking them up with disgust as the reaper would toss them into a nearby bin.

Ed continued, “Rui, don’t you want to know what I’m good at?”

“Being a menace?” More trash thrown away. A rustling noise before hands had greedily grabbed onto the belt loops of his pants. Tugging back.

Panic would wash over the reaper, body attempting to pull forward. The grip only tugging him back again.

“You like when I’m a menace-“ the words a dangerous whisper against his ear. A shudder rippled along Rui’s spine. Words failing him and Ed took this as a sign to continue. “If you didn’t, you wouldn’t have such dirty little thoughts about me.”

This was enough for the Vice-Captain to finally pull away. Cheeks red and an exasperated look plastered on Rui’s face. Ed only let out a breathy chuckle. “They’re brief but they’re there. And you always get so flustered when they cross that pretty little mind of yours.”

Still, Rui remained silent. How could he deny such a thing when it was true?

“Even now, you’re thinking about how you’d want me to bend you over my dresser and fuck you relentlessly.” The hands would reach back over, settling on Rui’s hips. Thumbing against the fabric. “We both know that I’m the closest you’ll ever get to experience with touch again.”

The fingers pressing in and tracing small circles, lips ghosting a mere hair away from skin. Murmuring lightly, a lack of breath to warm Rui as he continued to speak, “I could make all of your little fantasies come true.”

Rui could feel the hairs on his neck rise from the tension alone. Legs feeling somehow both solid and liquid at once. Rigid but jello-like. Swallowing the lump building up in his throat.

“You needn’t say it out loud. Your thoughts can remain inside. I just need you to say yes.”

Mouth hung open, the hands had returned back to his hips, gripped and holding him steady. A pounding noise filling Rui’s ears from his racing heart. He couldn’t hear the word leave his lips but Ed could. And it was all he needed. A “yes-“ unsteady as it was.

The hands would go to guide and pull Rui over to the bed, pushing him down with careful movements. A tug of the blanket he was pushed atop, which caused the reaper to roll over before his back was steadied on the mattress. Blanket tossed over and a weight now pleasantly pressed against his hips.

The blanket, itself, was plush and inviting. Rui practically melting in the velveteen and silken fabrics. Enveloping and engulfing him. The weight creating friction of hips brushing against one another with the barrier between them. This drew out a long and languid gasp from the reaper cursed male. The air under the blanket growing hotter. His own hips arching up to meet the rubbing sensation as a tent began to form.

Fuck… was he really this needy…?

The thought caused Rui’s cheeks to flush.

“You poor thing-“ Ed’s voice cooed, only dampened by the clothe, “You’ve been so neglected. Let me take care of this for you.”

A more pinpointed pressure applied. Ed palming the growing erection. Rui panting a bit more with need. The hand continued its blanketed petting, a chuckle escaping the vampire before retracting. This earned a soft whine from the covered reaper- hips moving up against his will to try and earn the friction back.

Ed breathed out a chuckle, keeping his hand away before shifting on top of the blankets once more. Legs straddled the mound beneath him. “If we do too much now, it’ll be over too soon-“ the words a singsong tease.

Rui would pant softly, feeling overly hot under the blanket. A light wiggle underneath and Ed would begin the grinding motion again. This drew out light moans from the reaper cursed male, hands clutching onto the sheets and hips raised up. Soft panting replacing the moans as the vampire stilled his movements again- Rui trying to create the friction by grinding up.

Firm hands moved to press the blond’s hips back down into the mattress, holding him still. “Aht.. aht…” Ed would muse out. Rui’s response soft whimpers. “What did I say about ending things too soon?” Another low whine escaped his Vice-Captain and a breathless chuckle escaped the vampire.

A few more panting gasps and Rui would feel the hands roaming against the blanket, feeling him through the fabric and squeezing. The attention and pressure working out more gasps as they’d build up and release into moans. Ed took this as a sign, this time not stopping his motions. A goal to now get the reaper desperately calling his name. An attempt to increase friction as the bulge beneath the blanket remained firm. The grinding now becoming relentless.

“Ed-“ the goal was reached quickly as the name drew out in a shaky breath.

“Mm?” A subtle prompting for more wispy words.

“Please-“

“Please what?” More urging to get Rui to say more.

“Do more-“ the words shuddered and staggered.

Deciding to spare Rui, Ed wouldn’t press on what ‘more’ had meant. Hips brushing against covered hips. It was the most they could do, now. But it seemed to do the trick. The under of the blanket hot from heavy breathing and bodies pressed and rolling along. The friction only increasing with Rui throwing his head back, the blanket shifting slightly and causing blond tufts of hair to pop out. Then pale ruby eyes- half lidded would reveal themselves and peer up. Soft gasps morphing into moans and crimson eyes observing the housemate below.

Rui’s expression scrunching as the Vice-Captain found himself nearing his climax. A tinge of embarrassment that this was what he was getting off to.

The continued grinding seemed to do the trick. At least, for now. Ed was sure they’d have plenty of moments like this in the future. After all, they only scratched the surface and his reaper companion certainly was needy. A final whimpered moan worked its way out and a sticky mess filled Rui’s boxers- cheeks flushed with shame. A few more little grinds against the fabric before Ed pulled off.

“We’ll try more together, later.” A knowing grin. “We have to get you to last longer, first.” A hand motioning at the door. “I’ll let you go so you can clean yourself up. I know you’re fond of keeping yourself tidy.”

Everything about this made Rui want to seep away into nothingness. Face going back under the blanket until he was ready to slip out and retreat to the bathroom to clean up. An amalgamation of emotions forming in his chest. Feelings he would have to explore later.

[Lol I did not intend for this to become what it did and tbh I sort of just felt like writing and then forced some kind of ending because I was done with it. Enjoy or don’t. That’s cool with me.]
