I want you to fuck me like a colosseum. Love me like a killing. Want me like a wild thing.

(this is the most tumblr will allow. click for the full version and the +ring version!)

Ryou sneaks out of the birthday party thrown in his honor when an innocent question unexpectedly strikes him hard: Why do you always hide what you want?

When he arrives home, Bakhura (the King of Thieves) is surprised to see him back early, and Bakura (the Spirit) points out how he looks unsettled more than usual, "What's wrong with you?" Tonight's events ignited a fire in Ryou's veins, and with his personal conviction as fuel, he purposefully strides over to the two and pulls Bakhura into a fervent kiss. An incredulous Bakura asks what the hell he thinks he's doing. Reluctantly, Ryou extracts himself from a speechless but, nevertheless, receptive Bakhura and turns to the other.

"Taking what I want... Don't you always say I should be more honest?" His voice is low, breathy, desire wrapped around every word. Invitingly, Ryou tugs at Bakura, who goes willingly and reciprocates the kiss with the same intensity. "So have me. Both of you. Right here..."

---

Ryou is the first to pass out, and following some aftercare, the two tuck him into bed. After a long and passionate night, Bakhura's brain is swimming in a pool of happy chemicals, and he doesn't resist the call of the many pillows for his bone-tired body. He slots himself beside Ryou but pauses upon noticing his pale counterpart merely sitting at the edge of the bed, unmoving like a statue and staring at Ryou's sleeping face. A fleeting thought crosses Bakhura's mind that makes him chuckle. As he slides under the covers, Bakura asks what's so funny. "You're still here, is all. Didn't think you were the type to stay the night."

Bakura huffs indignantly, displeased with being profiled but concedes. "You're not wrong." He goes back to watching Ryou and, contrary to his bold words, decides to shuffle under the blanket after an endless minute.

Another chuckle, unmistakably mocking this time. "You just can't keep away, can you?"

Bakura scowls. "Shut up." He knows his glare won't reach the thief, so his ire ebbs as quickly as it flares. He studies the soft features of his host earnestly, quietly bringing up a hand to caress his cheek with the back of his fingers. "Today's special. It's his birthday." A beat passes. "And the first time he's ever been honest."

I collected my art tips on hands over the years. It ended up being 54 pages of notes I took and some guides I tried to create for myself. Maybe some of these can be useful to others as well. You can buy the pdf here or join my Patreon to get it for free.

七夕（たなばた）

Today, 7 July, is Tanabata, a Japanese festival centered around stars, the milky way, romance, as well as hopes and aspirations for the future.⭐✨

If you want to find out more about the customs and history of Tanabata in simple Japanese, take a look at the texts and articles below. Most of these texts have a reading level fitting for JLPT N5 and N4 readers and all texts are freely available online!

Hirogaru （ひろがる）

The article on the website hirogaru introduces the star festival with large pictures and few sentences. You can toggle furigana for this text in theory but it might not work depending on your device. However, all text also has a read out loud function. There is also a small reading comprehension quiz at the end.

Watanoc （和タのC）

Although the free web magazine Watanoc hasn't had new articles for a while now, their article about Tanabata still holds up and gives a great overview about the festival. You can hover over words and phrases to get the reading as well as a translation into English. After each paragraph you can also click to translate the entire sentence into English as well.

Hukumusume （福娘物語）

There is a legend behind Tanabata and you can read it in a simpler Japanese version on hukumusume, which is a place for free online children's stories. Although this text is not written with learners in mind, it features both furigana and cute colorful illustrations that guide readers along.

Please scroll past the videos at the beginning of the page. The full text is just below.

Tadoku no Hiroba (たどくのひろば)

For learners approaching intermediate abilities (N4-N3), I can recommend this short story by Tadoku no Hiroba. It is both longer than the articles above and features more complicated grammar points and speech registers, but still features 100% furigana on all kanji.

Bodille does not know to want, she does not know to ask, nor pray the heathen way: through words and asks and barters. She wants nothing, and so she certainly does not want to not kill him, of that much she is certain. He will die by her hand, as is his fate, and she revels in the fact so earnestly it blurs the lines of duty, right and whim. Is that enough? What use would there be in surviving to a rotting world, as its last pair of starving maggots? reward / e4-e5
