This is my interpretation of Takumi’s soulmate tattoo from SovereignZenith’s LeoKumi fan fiction “Kindred Spirits” on Archive of Our Own.The story is amazing and emotional. Plus the whole idea of soulmates having special tattoos to find one another is pretty unique. Check it out with the link below:

The day Leo obtained his mark had been…dreadfully mundane.
To be quite honest, he expected something better. Fireworks and shooting stars behind his eyes and a feeling of completeness perhaps; not this. Not the searing pain splitting his shoulders, the talons digging into his back and the deafening wail of storms in his ears.
Because out of all the stories he's read, and all the tales he’s heard, he never expected it to hurt like it had.
I can say I’ve tentatively finished chapter 8! I say tentatively because this monster still has yet to be betaed and edited and some parts may or may not need to be expanded on XP
But overall, we are (finally) approaching the finish line!
Everything blew over with minimal damage or flooding. We only lost power once for an hour or so before it cut back on.
I’m incredibly thankful that flooding is a rather rare occurrence where I live and the forests surrounding my house offers ample protection from the wind.
Anyways, now that that’s over and my mind is clear, I can get back to writing! XD
Got most of everything done for chapter 8 except the ending but I don’t think I’ll write any more this week due to Florence.
Normally, these things blow over with minimal damage where I live but I don’t think- as far as I can remember -a hurricane has ever slammed into the Carolinas like this. Especially at this category.
So my minds been a bit preoccupied with that lately XD
Progress on the next chapter is running smoothly especially recently and I'm sorry i haven't updated sooner! This will be a beast of a chapter and right now, its sitting at twelve pages in my pages document.
I figure it'll be even more than that so, in the meantime, thank you for your patience!
Maybe a sick-fic, with Leo taking care of Takumi? I am a simple girl, I guess. haha
Ahhh! I’m sorry this took so long!
tw for vomit? or just strong nausea? strong nausea.
He felt it again, pulsing over him in sweltering waves, nausea sweeping him up in fitful tremors as he hunches, miserable, over a bucket.
He was hot, sweating through his undergarments yet, at the same time, shivering from the cold.
He didn’t know what he had; he hadn’t seen Sakura or any of the other healers, having been too tied to the bucket to do much of anything, and fearing humiliation if he ends up expelling last nights dinner outside. He decided then, with gritted teeth and pathetic whimpers that he’d ride it out. The healers were busy anyways, as soldiers returned from a previous battle, he figured their wounds were more urgent than…whatever he had.
Another tremor wracks through his body and he chokes on air, feeling his throat instinctively close up; his body and mind denying him relief.
He feels the most vulnerable when he’s sick. It leaves him feeling guilty after knowing he’d taken up some of his siblings time to take care of him. It makes him feel weak and worthless. So when Leo announces his presence just outside his tent, Takumi feels mortification sweep through his being. Because Leo was the last person he wanted to see like this.
And, Takumi, being ever eloquent hunched over and heaving only ends up mustering a weak “Don’t.” in response to Leo’s request to come inside obviously prompting a rather disgruntled “What?” from the other party. It evidently didn’t help how he’d gagged through every syllable and, in an instant, the knight was inside his tent, expression worried. He was still clad in his ebon armor, cheeks dusted pink from the long trek back from the previous battle, although he isn’t given much time to ruminate on why he was here as another wave of nausea has him groaning over the tin.
Leo, is at his side immediately, firing off questions like, “Whats wrong?”, and “Do you need anything? —Water? Medicine? A healer?”
To which Takumi responds, voice low and shaken, “G-Go.” before the nausea overwhelms him and he ducks his head, feeling tears well in his eyes and bile pool in the back of his throat. His breathing was ragged now, gulping down air in an attempt to stave off the inevitable. He was hyper aware of everything and yet nothing at all, overwhelmed by the hair clinging to his sweat slicked forehead and the feverish tremors he undergoes.
It isn’t until he feels the cool brush of metal claws against his cheeks, brushing away his bangs that he realizes Leo had stayed.
“It’s okay. It’s best to let it out.” And while he couldn’t see the mage’s expression, his tone was every bit as calm and poised as the strategist himself and Takumi leans into him as Leo delicately held his hair back and as his nausea finally overwhelms him.
~~~~~~~~~~
After emptying almost everything and then some, Takumi drifts in and out of the thralls of fever. Time was a blur and he hardly remembered the time between the first day and now, recognizing only a few faces that came to visit, mainly his siblings or Leo, before blurring back into the background.
Now, he was awake and feeling…ok.
He weakly sits up in bed when he hears the flaps of his tent rustle.
Leo strides in, dressed in casual wear, and holding a steaming bowl and glass of water on a silver tray. Upon seeing the archer, the mage jumps back a bit, a small ‘ah’ leaving his lips, eyes wide with surprise before composing himself, “I…didn’t realize you’d be awake.”
He remembers the gentle slide of metal on his skin and he shivers, looking away as he feels warmth rush to his cheeks. Now isn’t the time.
“H-How,” he croaks, straining against the dryness of his throat, “How long has it been?”
“A couple days.” Leo says, tone neutral and he places the tray on his lap. Takumi hums in response, eagerly taking the glass of water and drinking it down as if he were lost in the desert for days. Curiously, Leo stays, standing patently with his hands crossed behind him, eyes shifting between him and the soup, obviously fidgeting when Takumi finishes the glass and glances at the bowl.
“You make this?”
Leo visibly stiffens and glances elsewhere, “Yes. I hope it’s to your liking.”
Takumi rolls his eyes playfully, inciting a huff from Leo before shakily lifting the spoon to his lips and blowing softly. Leo eyes the movement.
Takumi has to admit, it was one of the better soups he’d tasted, but that could also be from his overall hunger and sickness. Perhaps his fever was driving him mad or perhaps Leo was unfairly talented at making soup.
“So…how is it?”
“Okay, I guess.” He says, smirking at the mage who narrows his eyes. He sank into their usual banter rather quickly.
“Just okay now?”
“Yep.”
“That’s rude.”
“What is?”
Leo ‘tsks’ smiling when Takumi lifts the entire bowl to his lips, “I go through all this trouble to make you some soup and this is the thanks I get?” He lifts an arm to his head in an overdramatic display, pained expression and all, “A simple ‘okay?’. Unbelievable. Unheard of. Insulting.”
Takumi snickers, placing the empty bowl back on the tray, “Gods, you sound like Odin now.”
“Ugh, he is rubbing off on me isn’t he.” Leo bemoans.
“Nah, you’ve always been dramatic.”
“Wow, full of compliments today aren’t we?”
“I’d say that’s a compliment.”
“How so?”
“Well, it means you don’t have that stick up your ass like you used to.”
“I’m reconsidering our friendship.”
Takumi laughs at that, tipping his head back in mirth and soon Leo is leaning on the bed, chuckling as well.
“I’m…” The mage starts, smiling that smile that makes Takumi’s stomach twist, “I’m glad you’re okay. You…gave m—everyone quite the scare.”
Takumi frowns, leaning back against the pillows, “I’m sorry.”
“For what? Getting sick? That’s not something you have control over.”
“I guess…” Takumi leans back against his pillows, placated, pushing the tray toward Leo, “Thanks for the soup—and everything else.”
“Everything else?”
“Yeah, y’know,” Takumi half mumbles, glancing away, “being there for me, I guess.”
Leo hums, voluntarily looking elsewhere as shades of pink dust his ears and cheeks, “It’s nothing.”
“It,” Takumi tries, dipping his head as warmth blossoms along his chest, “means something to me.”
And he looks up catching onto intense russet eyes staring at him intensely, thin lips parted slightly and a rosy blush coloring his cheeks as he leans forward, lifting a hand to brush against the mages pale skin, cupping lightly before softly pillowing his lips against Leo’s other cheek.
It lasted no more than a second and he withdrew feeling lightweight staring up at the mage who looked back at him, with a visible yearn for more that Takumi almost gives in. Almost.
“What—,” Leo started, voice low, and timbre much like a stack of cards ready to collapse with the slightest breeze, “What was that for?”
“A thank you?” Takumi says, still riding off the wonderful high he was on, “But I guess it doesn’t really make up for everything, huh?”
“I—“
“You’re staying, right?”
“That’s awfully presumptuous of you.”
“Is it?”
“A little bit, yeah.” He says, easily sliding next to the archer, moving the tray to the nightstand.
“Mnn, I don’t think so.” He yawns, sudden exhaustion weighing on his eyelids and he turns to face Leo who’d already situated himself under the covers, bringing his arm around the archer and pulling him flush against his chest.
“Perhaps you’re right.” The mage whispers against the top of his head, and Takumi shivers, his eyes shutting as everything begins to fall into obscurity.
God ok for some reason tunglr mobile is being really weird and mixing up my main blog with my side/writing blog? And I just realized now?? Like, my main was my default for posting art and reblogging and now my side blog is??? If that even makes sense???!!! Wtf tungls!!!
Like it was so easy to manage and now I have to constantly check which blog I’m posting too or reblogging from which is a nuisance
Either way, I apologize if I accidentally post/reblog something other than writing or writing updates since this is exclusively a writing blog XD
A little update on the next chapter, I am slowly churning through the words although I feel as I am not even halfway through XD Progress is slow as I’ve sorta hit a little inspiration wall :/
Granted, these things normally pass but to fill the time(and hopefully get my inspiration back) I’ve decided to take requests? Or - more accurately - attempt at taking requests. XD
So, just send the prompt in(preferably leokumi but if you have other ships that’s fine too) and expect a 300-1000 word story sometime in the following week(s).
Just as a heads up, I can do both sfw and nsfw but will NOT do in//cest or nonc//on.
Also also, I am aware of a little glitch on tumblr mobile(and tumblr period) of a bug where long blocks of text appear despite having a ‘read more’ mark. To rectify this, I will be tagging these prompts as ‘long story’ as well as having a ‘read more’ cut so you may blacklist the tag if you don't want to scroll for a long time. :3
I will notify when requests will be closed in maybe two or three days XD
I apologize for the break of updates but my energy has been low as of late but rest assured I'm starting on the next chapter as of now :3
Also, I apologize if I haven't responded to your lovely comments on the fic! I have read them all and think all of them are wonderful and very very appreciated! I’ll respond properly maybe later today, but just know for now that I am so very grateful for all of your wonderful comments!
I think I’ve almost finished chapter 7 XD It’s a shorter chapter and I may need to flesh out some parts but I’ll let my beta read over it and give me some feedback before I edit it and stuff :p
Takumi, shaken with excitement, lays out a large mat, delicately smoothing it over the stony floor of the seaside cave. This was second nature to him and he doesn’t flinch when a faint splash can be heard at the mouth of the cave. Excitement buzzes through every vein and he doesn’t hesitate to stand and watch as the visitor draws closer.
A sinuous creature winds through the beryl water, circling the small pool before noticing his presence and coasting toward him with a few quick beats of its long serpentine tail. Takumi does not linger and quickly approaches the waters edge just as a pale figure breaks the water's surface. Takumi surmises he will always be breathless at the sight of Leo; his pale skin glistening as rivulets of water cascade down his form, pale blonde hair sopping wet and sticking against his face and over his eyes, which gleamed an iridescent red, shining through pale bangs. By all means, he should be scared, after all, not many have faced a siren and lived to tell about it another day, but Leo was different. He’d known from the day he’d saved him on that beach, covered in his own blood and too weak to move.
Leo had taken a liking to him after an extensive rehabilitation period and Takumi likewise. It was an unlikely friendship which tentatively grew into something…more. Of sharing sweet seaside kisses, and diving for pearls. Of long talks on the beach at sunset soaked in golden sunbeams with Leo’s tail curled reflexively around him. Of long talks quickly dissolving into slow, sweet kisses and impassioned sighs. They never took it too far, but perhaps today...
Leo upon noticing the matt huffs out a small laugh, “Plan on staying here long?”
Takumi rolls his eyes, hands crossed and a bit stiff, “Maybe.”
Leo’s eyes flash back to him suddenly, eyeing him with apparent interest. They scan his form, up and down, taking him in and Takumi nearly shivers under his gaze. His ebon scaled tail arches lazily, showing off his long spiny fins, tipped in gold before leisurely swaying back into the water, sparkling clouds of sand getting kicked up from the motion.
“Will you stay?” Leo half whispers against the water's surface and Takumi smiles, stepping into the warm clear water, sinking slowly into the pool as Leo swims up beside him, his clawed hands softly gripping his sides and he brings his forehead against his. Takumi’s hands lightly run over his smooth skin, up his sides, over his chest until they rest at his neck and eyes following a stray bead of water that glides over his lip. His back nearly leans against the shallow end, with Leo holding him up, his leg brushes up against the side of his tail before they wrap around his hips and he hears Leo sigh in his ear, long and wistful, “I missed you.”
Takumi laughs airily, exposing his neck for Leo to kiss and nibble, “I wasn’t gone long.” He groans when Leo presses open mouth kisses along the column of his neck, “Just a couple days.”
He hears Leo whine when he presses his lips to his temple, growling between gritted teeth, “Too long.”
Takumi hums in agreement, “Well, now I’m here” He says, hands resting on Leo’s cheeks, and he rolls his hips forward and sighing when his member brushes against the underside of Leo’s tail, smiling at Leo’s surprise, “A-are you sure you want...me? I’m not-”
“Leo,” Takumi affirms, “I’ve been sure for a while now.” At Leo’s unsure expression, “Leo, I’m hard and if that isn’t evidence to how much I want this-”
“Okay, okay...I was just making sure. I’m not human so…”
“I know.” Takumi kisses Leo, nibbling at his lower lip. Leo pulls away suddenly, whispering huskily in his ear, his claws brushing past the hem of his robe and flattening against his chest, “May I?”
He nods and Leo is hastily peeling off the offending garb, uncovering more and more of his bare body until he’s left completely exposed.
“Gods, you’re…” Leo starts, eyes drinking him in as the pads of his fingers barely brush against his hip, “...you’re not cold are you?”
“No, but if you keep sitting there staring I might be.” Leo snorts, immediately wrapping his arms around the smaller man’s body, pressing his lips to the top of Takumi’s head, “May I...try something?” Takumi feels a buzz of excitement course through him like electricity; tepid and unrelenting.
“Sure.” Leo’s gills suddenly flare and he ducks into the water causing Takumi to yelp at the sudden splash of sea foam soaking his features.
He’s puzzled momentarily, wondering what Leo has in store until a searing warmth suddenly engulfs the head of his cock and he tips his head back, immediately tangling his fingers in soft blonde locks. Leo’s tongue artfully swirls along the ridge of the head before teasing the slit and Takumi’s hand curls into a fist as pleasure washes - tepid- through his veins. A clawed hand grips the base of his shaft and gently massages, mindful of his claws while Leo’s tongue continues to tease the tip.
Takumi’s mouth is slightly parted, panting lightly and when Leo inches down ever so slowly, that searing hit enveloping all of him, he groans, sighing Leo’s name even though he’s sure he can’t hear him below the water. Leo bobs his head and Takumi feels the pleasure build quickly - too quickly. The warmth of the water and the heat of Leo’s mouth sucking him in is too much and gently pushes Leo’s shoulder, not enough to push him off but enough to garner his attention and the siren easily finishes his work with one final stroke of his tongue and surfaces, smiling at the apparent mess he’s made of Takumi, who is leaned back, panting hard and eyeing him with half lidded eyes.
“Well?”
“S-shut up.” Takumi feels his face burn and turns away until Leo shifts toward him, burying his nose in his neck. It’s then Takumi notices Leo’s own arousal, erect in the water and he tentatively wraps his fingers around it. Leo tenses almost instantaneously.
It’s long, slender and a deep red rather than a fleshy color, but Takumi didn’t linger. Instead, he gives it a few exploratory pumps, delighting in Leo’s shivers before clambering back toward the matt. Leo follows, albeit clumsily as his spiny tail winds out of the water, pushing himself onto the mat, watching as Takumi fumbles with a small satchel until he finds a bottle, uncorks it and lathers a clear liquid on his fingers. Takumi then clambers beside Leo lightly pushing the siren on his back before straddling his hips running the hand not currently soaked in lube over Leo’s chest while he presses a finger against his entrance, slowly teasing the ring of muscle before entering, his face twisting in a grimace and Leo quickly rubs his sides reassuringly.
It isn’t long before he adds a second finger, stretching himself a bit more, eyes unfocused and trying his best to ignore the strange sensations that come with preparing himself. His eyes trail downward and he notices Leo staring up at him with wide eyes, awe plastered on his features and when he adds a third finger, his body quivering at the sudden protrusion, he feels Leo rumble out a small moan.
When he’s confident he’s prepared he removes his fingers and grabs Leo’s cock, aligning himself before slowly sinking down.
It’s...a strange feeling. Much like preparing himself, he isn’t really used to the sensation just quite. However, it’s not...unpleasant. Still, he gives it a few minutes before the initial sensation isn’t quite as overwhelming. Below him, Leo’s claws are tearing into the fabric as the siren all but squirms underneath him.
“Takumi…” Leo whispers, his hands suddenly gripping his backside and squeezing, “You feel so good.”
Takumi swallows, excitement coursing through his body and his heart was pounding in his ear, “Y-you do too. I’m gonna move, okay?” The siren nods and Takumi takes his cue to slowly lift his hips before dropping down, his senses suddenly assaulted with a new feeling, faint but pleasant, behind his navel and he repeats his earlier motion, until pleasure is rapidly replacing the earlier unpleasantness and he’s tipping his head back to moan. He feels Leo’s grip move to his hips as he helps lift him before bringing him down, the siren trying to match his steadily building rhythm and thrust upward, however with his hands occupied and without much in the way of support he’s simply left writhing while Takumi bounces on his cock. The siren’s tail twists and arches beautifully, delicious and unadulterated moans slipping from both parties lips, echoing throughout the cave.
“T-Takumi,” Leo whines, choking off a groan when Takumi grinds against him, “Takumi, you’re s-so good,” Another moan, low and drawn out, “so good.”
Takumi tries to form a coherent response, but all that comes out is slurred gibberish that dissolves into impassioned sighs and pleasure-filled sobs. Takumi shifts his angle a bit, relishing in the new sensation as sparks of pleasure shoot up and down his spine and he grinds faster chasing that exquisite peak. The molten heat curling behind his navel was fit to burst and, judging by how loud Leo was being, he could guess the siren was approaching his climax as well. Desperate to finish, Takumi wraps his fingers around his own length, pumping frantically. He was almost there. A particularly hard grind has Leo’s member brushing against his prostate and sending him over the edge with a loud cry. Leo was close to follow with a shrill animalistic shriek of his own as his claws hook themselves into the mat in order to avoid puncturing his skin and the sirens back arches off the ground.
Takumi, finally spent, collapses onto Leo’s chest, the warmth of the cave quickly becoming colder as the ocean breeze brushes past sweat slicked skin. However, he isn’t cold for long, as Leo wraps his arms around his waist sharing his soothing warmth. Their coupled panting is the only sound aside from the soft sound of water lapping at the water’s edge.
“I love you.” Leo sighs, in between short gasps and the grip around Takumi’s waist tightens ever so slightly.
“Mn, I love you too.” Takumi hums, burying his face in the crook of Leo’s neck. The siren’s ebony tail gently stirring at the edge of the pool as the sound of waves crashing against the shore becomes a distant lullaby as both succumb to their exhaustion.
