Thinking about sub Mikasa...
NSFW under the cut.
I don't really know what this is, I've been wanting to write but I've just been feeling like shit. This also might be shit but we'll see.
~
Who, after a long day of work, just craves to be buried between your plush thighs, lapping your pussy and sucking on your clit, feeling your juices running down her chin. Tasting just how sweet you are, relishing in just how sticky you get for her, slick dripping from your core.
Mikasa, who is surprised when you take the initiative, coaxing her into your lap with sweet, honeyed words, gliding your hands along her jean-clad thighs, feeling her tense muscles slowly melt away under your tender ministrations.
Mikasa, who melts against you when your lips meet hers in a soft, sweet kiss, your hands moving higher to hold her hips, thumbing under her shirt to feel her skin start heating up as the kiss grows in desperation on her end.
Mikasa, who tangles her fingers in your hair, pulling your head closer as she drags her tongue across your bottom lip, a soft mewl escaping her lips before she can stop it. One that you swallow greedily, drinking in every gasp or sigh she gives you as your tongues glide across one another, spit steadily beginning to pool in your mouths.
Mikasa, who whimpers lightly into the kiss when one of your hands delves into her jeans to rub through her slick folds slowly, ghosting over her clit before tracing her entrance, murmuring against her lips how good she was being, how proud you are of her.
Mikasa, who chases your lips when you pull back too far, slotting her spit-coated ones with yours as your fingers slowly slide into her cunt, working her up to her high. She watches you through hooded eyes, panting against your mouth, murmuring and whining your name when you crook your fingers expertly, pressing against that one spot that has her thighs twitching.
Mikasa, whose chest rises and falls quickly when she nears her peak, her head falling back and her eyes fluttering shut when your lips press against her pulse point, kissing and sucking heart-shaped marks onto her pale skin. Her pussy clenching around your fingers each time your palm rubs against her clit, her slick beginning to soak through her jeans.
And, when she finally does cum, with a long, drawn-out moan of your name, her body shakes with the force of her orgasm, her thighs threatening to snap closed, though you keep them apart with your free hand, cooing soft praises her way as you thumb over her clit.
Mikasa, whose body melts into yours when she comes back down from her high. She buries her face into your neck, her breathing slowly starting to come down as you lick your fingers clean, rubbing her back once you're done.
She peers up at you with wide, unfocused eyes, her gaze dropping to your lips before you lift her head back up, smiling softly at her before pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, coaxing her to curl into you and rest after a long day.
<3

She ain't talkin' 'bout burgers
ā€¼ļøMDNI- smut below the cutā€¼ļø
Not proofread, afab reader.
~
ā€œAww, look at her. Poor thing. ā€˜S too much for ya, baby? Pretty little pussy canā€™t take it? Youā€™ve still got four more of us to go, angel. Cā€™mon, you can do it.ā€
Different pairs of hands run all along your body, squeezing and feeling your softness in their much rougher hands. The man talking, giving you mock sympathy, mimics your pout, listening to you whine and watching you squirm when his cock rubs against the spongey spot inside you. His own hands grab at your hips, eyes darting down to watch his length sink into your pretty little cunt over and over, your slick coating your thighs and part of his pelvis. Itā€™s messy, itā€™s frenzied. Itā€™s hot. So fucking hot. Watching one man shove his tongue down your throat, your hands being guided to stroke two other cocks, another manā€™s tongue flicking over your pebbled nipples, and his cock disappear between your glistening folds. Watching you go dumb between the five men, seeing the submissive state youā€™re in, babbling nonsense when the man kissing you finally lets up. A dark chuckle comes from the man fucking you, a hiss escaping him when you clench so tightly around his length. ā€œGonna cum for me, baby? Do it. I wanna see you creaming all over my dick.ā€ A groan echoes in the room ā€” mixed with your mewls, deep grunts, and squelching sounds ā€” as he picks up his tempo, losing the rhythm he had in favor of pounding into your sweet cunt. One of his hands darts between your thighs to rub your clit, swollen from the countless times the five men in the room had made you cum on their faces. He watches with rapt intensity as your jaw goes slack, feeling your pussy clench impossibly tighter had his own orgasm crashing over him. When you cry out his name, his own moans mingle with yours, curses tumbling from his lips. ā€œOh shit ā€” fuck yes! Ahh, fuck! Good girl, fuuuck, good job, baby.ā€ When he slowly drift back down, his eyes meet yours and he grins down at you, pulling out of your fluttering hole. ā€œNumber two?ā€

my sweet sweet angel!! I feel like (bc it has been) ages since Iā€™ve seen your gorgeous self on my dash and that Iā€™ve gotten the chance to speak to you. So I just wanted to pop in and say hello!! I hope that life has been treating you well and that things have been going good!
ya know I need some life updates and to see that my baby is flourishinggg! Are we still doing the internship? How are the little ones?? Anything else exciting been going on? Iā€™ve been away for a while so I hadnā€™t had the chance to respond to your msg (Iā€™m so sorry šŸ˜­šŸ™šŸ¾) but I still love you and miss you alll the same, my dear!!! I hope that this week and new month are kind to you and that youā€™re taking good care of yourself.
I always get the biggest smile on my face when I see you in my inbox! ur messages make me so freakin happy, you have not the slightest idea šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ©·šŸ©·anyways, I am rambling bc I missed you sm but I hope that you have a great day in whatever ur doing right now and know that I adore you. mwah šŸ’‹šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸŒø
My sweet darling girl, how Iā€™ve missed you. šŸ„¹
Iā€™ve been pretty good, doing well in my classes and such. I am on the last week of my internship, which saddens me ā€” Iā€™ll miss the kids dearly ā€” but Iā€™ve loved the experience overall. The kids are disappointed that Iā€™ll be gone soon (weā€™re on spring break over here), but Iā€™m gonna make the best of my last days! šŸ’Ŗ
I miss you dearly as well, my sweet! I havenā€™t been as active as I want to be on here as well, but Iā€™ve started a few writing pieces that Iā€™m excited about (a Sukuna on, Nanami one, and a combination of jjk men with a pornstar reader šŸ¤­šŸ¤­). I canā€™t wait to finish those up and dish them out. I also want to start branching out more and interacting with more people, but Iā€™m still much too shy!! One day though! Trust. ā˜ļøšŸ˜
This month hasnā€™t started off very well (I got devastating news about a family member of mine, so my family is struggling right now), but I hope that the rest of the month will be better. I also need to go gift shopping for my younger sibling, which is a problem. I want to get the little booger everything, even if theyā€™re a pain in my behind. šŸ˜ (Iā€™m also a broke hoe.)
I hope your week/month has started off better than mine, however! Tell me about yourself, baby! Iā€™d love to know how youā€™re doing, I always adore hearing about you. Iā€™m so happy that Iā€™m seeing you more on my dash (I really have missed you, mi amor). I love seeing you thrive on this app again, put them hoes in their place, baby! (Youā€™re actually so fine when youā€™re letting them stinky bitches have it.)
Iā€™m glad I can make you smile with my silly messages/asks. I love popping in with my randomness, even if you take forever to respond. šŸ™„ (Iā€™m just pulling on your leg baby, itā€™s okay! ā€˜M just glad my silliness brings you joy! ā˜ŗļø)
Please take care of yourself, mi cariƱo. I wish you a lovely day, week, month, and year. May you flourish in everything you do and more. The universe is in your favor, mi vida. I can feel it!
Please donā€™t hesitate to send me a message or ask, I adore seeing you in my inbox. It gives me an excuse to brag about my wife to everyone. šŸ„°šŸ„°
I love you very, very much, my beloved.
Hugs and millions of kisses, honeybun. šŸ’‹

Forever With Me
"Does this make me a bad person? Do you think I'm a bad person?"
"I think you're a fucking monster."
"Do you really? Is that by your own free will or what you've been led to believe by other people, my love?"
"Does it matter?"
"To me it does."
Chains rattle as hands raise up, showing off wrists rubbed raw. "It's my free will." A click of teeth, a hand running through messy hair, an annoyed huff. "That's not true. Don't be so cruel to me."
A sharp laugh followed by a scoff, head whipping up to meet crazed eyes. "Cruel?! You've got some balls. You're the one who chained me up."
The cold metal of a blade presses against warm flesh, digging into skin and just barely piercing it, and a low voice beside an ear. "Come on, don't be like that. It's me and you until the end. You're with me. Forever with me, my angel."

Thanks for the tag @cherryblossomsenpai !
An interesting fact about me isā€¦hm.
I really really really love listening to the soundtracks of the Descendants movies, all three. I love the songs so much, theyā€™re in my Spotify playlist. Does that count? I was also in ballet for two weeks in my old elementary school, if that counts too. šŸ’€

Hi!! I was the anon asking about cherryblossomsenpai, I had no idea she went on random blocking bursts šŸ˜­ it was definitely the age indication that got me blocked cause I donā€™t usually put any age on my socials for privacy reasons but for her I recently did. Thanks for answering though, that was really nice of you. I really enjoy reading your work, you gained a new follower! I canā€™t wait to see what other wonderful creations you come up with ā¤ļø donā€™t forget to stay hydrated!!ā¤ļø
Hello again!
Iā€™m glad I was able to help you out! :D
Thank you for your sweet words, my darling, I really do appreciate it.

Hi! Iā€™ve started reading your account and realized that we both follow @cherryblossomsenpai but I donā€™t know if itā€™s just me but their account has just disappeared šŸ˜” love your fics btw theyā€™re very good! But yeah idk if itā€™s just me or not, but I wanted to reread some fics and all of a sudden, poof! No more cherryblossomsenpaišŸ„²šŸ„²
Hello my sweetness!
Thank you for the kind words. šŸ’•
If my darling cherry senpai is nowhere to be found for you, it could be that she blocked you ā€” either for being a blank/ ageless blog (no age visible) or for being a minor (anyone under 18) interacting with her smut content.
She is known for her notorious purges, often she gives a warning ahead of time, but I donā€™t doubt thatā€™s what happened. She is on a semi-hiatus due to personal issues, but she does go on from time to time to check her notifications and block anyone she needs to.
Other than that, I canā€™t think of any other reason as to why sheā€™s not showing up for you, as her blog is still up. She makes it very clear that she blocks ageless/ blank blogs, and minors, so that could be what happened.
Have a lovely day, anon! šŸ’•

Locked in with @chrollohearttags šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž
I did it guys. Found myself a pretty little wife. šŸ¤­šŸ¤­
Whatcha want, babe? A cottage? Beach house? Cabin? Penthouse?
My absolute love šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤
My, love!
I think itā€™s timeā€¦ Iā€™m ready now!
Iā€™ve felt this way for a long time and Iā€™ve thought about it long and hardā€¦ I just have to say it or Iā€™ll burst! šŸ’„
Weā€™ve fought so many battles together āš”ļø went on so many adventures šŸ—ŗļø spent nights together šŸŒŒ and so much more! Youā€™ve been on my mind since the moment I laid eyes on you! Itā€™s become impossible to sleep, to eat, to shower (šŸ˜‰), to spend time with family, to studyā€¦ because youā€™re always there, in my mind. If I had a quarter for all the times Iā€™ve thought about you, Iā€™d have a singular quarter, because youā€™ve never left my mind. Weā€™ve become stronger, together! Bested everyone who dared to try us, together! And learned, together. I canā€™t hold back any longer, canā€™t pretend like this feeling inside me isnā€™t real, canā€™t go on acting like Iā€™m okayā€¦ when Iā€™m not. Youā€™ve corrupted every fiber in my body, in my soulā€¦ and I let you. I allowed you to break through and surround me in your magnificent light, drown me in your being, itā€™s outrages.
My mind is yours, my body and soul you control, and my heartā€¦ well, I think we both know itā€™s been in the palm of your hand all this time. So, Iā€™m gonna do it! Iā€™m gonna be brave, face my fears, challenge myself to become betterā€¦ for you. Because youā€¦ complete me. You make me better, you always have.
Soā€¦ Cherry, will youā€¦
Will you be my Valentine? šŸ’šŸ«šŸ’šŸ“

Dā€™AWWWWW MY SWEET ANGEL!!!! šŸ˜«šŸ„¹šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤ I am going to cry oh my goodnesss!!! Literally hands down the sweetest thing Iā€™ve ever read! You already know you and I are locked in forever, not a single thing changing that!! Iā€™m so happy to have met you and to have you in my life. My absolute everything. I would be so honored to be your Valentine this year and many more to come! I love you so very much šŸ¤šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ«¶šŸ¾šŸ«¶šŸ¾

Tumblr media
You remember perfectly the way your motherā€™s jaw dropped when Satoru Gojo proposed to you. Youā€™d never seen the man, and you still hadnā€™t. Heā€™d asked to marry you via messenger, a simple letter delivered by hand with a list of all the things heā€™d be willing to pay for your hand. Offers of money, land, protection, connection- anything so long as he got you. Youā€™d thought it was a joke. Your father nearly took a shovel to the head of the poor messenger, thinking the letter was some kind of cruel prank, some sort of targeted disrespect. Youā€™d only started to believe when you really looked- saw the Gojo crest embroidered on the manā€™s suit, the fine leather of his boots. If it was a prank, somebody had spent a great deal of money and effort to pull it off.Ā 
Youā€™d asked for proof nonetheless, and youā€™d gotten it. Documents signed and sealed with a well-known waxen crest, gifts that could only have been purchased by a wealthy lord. The one thing you never got was the lord himself. He refused to see you, to come down from his mysterious castle on the hill. It didnā€™t surprise you. He rarely deemed town worthy of his presence. He had a reputation as a recluse, as a man who only ever liked to see and never be seen. What little glimpses people got of him were usually through the dark window of his carriage. Still, his appearance preceded him. White hair, light eyesā€¦ ā€œhauntingā€ said those who had the luck to see him. Those who went to work for the lord tended to returnā€¦ changedā€” if they returned at all.Ā 
You accepted, of course. How could you not? You were a peasant family with no status or wealth to your name. The promises Lord Gojo had made would make your parents into aristocrats all on their own. But that left you wonderingā€¦ why did he want you? You offered him no benefit. If anything, you sullied his bloodline. The question scratched at the back of your mind. It came to you while you ate breakfast, while you washed your clothes, while you weeded in the garden. Some part of you told you that you needed the answer before you ever stepped foot in that castle. You needed that answer, but youā€™d never get it.Ā 
Your wedding wasnā€™t even a wedding- just a piece of paper that had already been signed and witnessed, once again delivered by a familiar messenger. You signed at your dining room table andā€¦ that was that. You were married.Ā 
Later that night the carriages arrive. Men flood your home, all dressed in blue velvet, the Gojo crest embroidered on their chests. They seem puzzled when you tell them youā€™ve packed all your belongings into a measly three bags.Ā 
You say a quick goodbye to your parents, drawing them into stiff embraces. You love them, and they love you, but you canā€™t bear to see their faces as they send you away to a man who couldnā€™t even show his face for your wedding.Ā 
The carriage ride is somehow longer than youā€™d thought it would be- apparently, the castleā€™s size makes it seem deceptively close. The trip is rocky and twisty and altogether unpleasant as you steadily make your way toward the castle gates. By the time you reach them you think youā€™ve probably dozed in and out of consciousness at least half a dozen times.Ā 
The castle is even more intimidating up close. Spires that swirl into the clouds, sculptures that stare, doors that look more suited to being locked than opened. Itā€™sā€¦ terrifying.Ā 
When you finally roll to a stop, you move for the door. When you swing it open you get your fair share of strange looks from your attendants and remember that you should have waited for the footman. Your face heats as you climb out anyway, unwilling to subject yourself to the further humiliation of waiting for assistance.Ā 
Your feet hit gravel and all you can do is stare- up, up, up, to where the castleā€™s peaks disappear into the fog. When your eye flashes to a window on the east side of the manor you think you see a swaying curtain. You tuck your arms around yourself and shiver, but itā€™s not from the cold.Ā 
You nearly stumble over your feet on your first step inside. The entrance hall is larger than your former house, with ceilings that stretch so high you can hardly make out the figures on the frescoes that adorn it. Silver and blue drape everywhere, the Gojo family colors. You swallow when you see a chair that is most definitely worth more than your familyā€™s annual income.Ā 
The floors are marble and when your worn heels clack against it, you only feel reminded that you donā€™t belong here. That question pricks in your mind again as you pass portraits of every Gojo heir to have lived in the last three hundred years. Why me? Why me? Why me?Ā 
Your footman deposits you in your room, a place more lavish than youā€™ve ever seen. You have a four poster bed with a canopy of blue velvet, a window that overlooks a sprawling estate, and more square footage than youā€™ve ever dreamed of.Ā 
ā€œPull this if you need any sort of assistance, maā€™am.ā€Ā 
You turn to see your footman referencing a silver cord at your bedside. You assume itā€™s one of those contraptions that rings a bell in the servantsā€™ quarters. You try to hide your amazement- youā€™ve never seen one in real life before.Ā 
You clear your throat and give your most ladylike nod. ā€œThank you, um-ā€ you pause, your brow furrowing. ā€œIā€™m sorry, I donā€™t think I asked your name.ā€Ā 
Your footman appears stunned to silence, like heā€™d never expected you to care about his existence, much less his name. He recovers quickly, though, and forces a small smile. ā€œThomas, maā€™am.ā€
You smile and itā€™s genuine. ā€œThank you, Thomas.ā€He bows and makes a beeline for the door, but you have one more question. ā€œOh, um, Thomas-ā€ He freezes, turning slowly on his heel to face you.Ā 
ā€œYes, my lady?ā€Ā 
You cringe at the title. The sound of it creeps across your skin, foreign andā€¦ wrong. Why me? Why me? Why me?
You clear your throat again. ā€œDo you know, um, well-ā€ You shift, trying to word your question properly. ā€œDo you know when I might see the Lord?ā€Ā 
There is a pause, a moment of tension and silence, and then an answer. ā€œNo, my lady.ā€
Thomas does not stick around for more questioning. The door clicks shut behind him and then you're left with only the sound of retreating footsteps.Ā 
Youā€™re stunned to say the least, mouth still halfway open, more questions on the tip of your tongue. Should you seek him out? Was that proper? Would he come to you? Would he meet you for dinner, perhaps? Surely he would come to your room tonight toā€¦ consummate. Would that be the first time you lay eyes on him? When heā€™s over you?Ā 
You sigh. Thereā€™s nothing much to be done about it now. You find your way to the bed and sit down hesitantly. It feels like a crime to rumple such primped and polished cotton. You do it anyway- itā€™s going to happen sometime, right? You fall back against the mattress and donā€™t fail to notice how utterly comfortable it is. The silvery patterns on your canopy swirl and bend together. Youā€™re tired. You didnā€™t sleep much last night, anxious for the morningā€¦ and itā€™s only mid-afternoon now. You had time for a nap, right? Your eyes are closing before you can convince yourself itā€™s a bad idea and then youā€™re swept away into a world of warm darkness.Ā 
You wake with a start. Your first thought is that itā€™s dark now. Your room is pitch black except for the stream of moonlight passing through your stupidly large window. Your mouth feels dry and your skin is cold, like youā€™ve just woken from a nightmare. If you have, you donā€™t remember it. Perhaps thatā€™s a blessing.Ā 
You sit up, combing a finger through your hair and laughing pitifully when you realize that you left your shoes on as you slept. You hope Thomas didnā€™t walk in to find you in yet another unladylike position. A glance at the foot of the bed reveals he might have. Your bags have arrived- all three of them. You eye them with a combination of longing and contempt. They don't match this place. Theyā€™re worn and used- everything here is shiny and new. Still, theyā€™re all you have, and all you have left of your life before. All you have left of home.Ā 
You stretch your arms above your head, nearly groaning at the burn in your muscles. The carriage ride did your body no favors and you suspect youā€™ll be sore for many days to come.Ā 
You rise, no longer content to lie in bed. Youā€™ve had your rest and, from the state of darkness outside, you suspect your new husband might be joining you soon. The thought twists a certain tightness into your gut, but you push it aside. If that was the price you paid for all he gave your familyā€¦ then youā€™d pay it gladly.Ā 
You start with candles, finding a box of matches at your bedside. You light every candelabra you can find. The room, the castle, seems so perpetuallyā€¦ black- like it soaks up every ray of light it touches. Even when youā€™ve finished it doesnā€™t feel like enough. You make a note to ask Thomas for more in the morning.Ā 
You find a meal, carefully prepared and preserved, on a table near your dresser. Judging by the fact that itā€™s still warm, you conclude that it canā€™t be much past mid-evening. You originally intend to pick at the food as you unpack, but one bite has your mouth watering. It is the most delicious thing to ever touch your lips, complete with dessert waiting on the side. You clean your plate before moving onto your bags.Ā 
You lay your clothes out on the bed. A few dresses, riding pants, undergarments, an assortment of ribbons and bows. At one time these items had been the finest things you owned- now you owned a castle.Ā 
You find an armoire that looks like a master sculptor carved its edges and grab a dress, intending to hang it. Instead, your dress hits the floor when you part the doors to find the hangers already full. Your lips part. Luxury dresses of silk and satin line the rack, fading into some that appear more casual outfits of cotton and linen. You stretch a hand out, curious and utterlyā€¦ amazed. To think your new husband had gone to all the effortā€¦ Your hand brushes purple silk and-Ā 
ā€œDo you like them?ā€Ā 
You screech, jumping to face the voice at your back. It takes a moment for your eyes to find him, leaning casually against one post of your bed. Your breath is stolen for a second time. Snow white hair, piercingly blue eyes, pale soft skinā€¦ you know who he is even without looking at his dress, at the air of authority he claims. Heā€™s your husbandā€¦ and he is the most devastatingly beautiful thing youā€™ve ever seen.Ā 
He laughs, then, and itā€™s a warmer sound than youā€™d thought it would be- rich and full. A sound that seeps into your bones and settles in your soul.Ā 
ā€œSorry. Didnā€™t mean to scare you,ā€ he says, but the twinkle in his eyes makes you think that perhaps thatā€™s a lie.Ā 
Your heart pounds and your eyes flash to the door. Itā€™s shut. You didnā€™t hear it open, nor did you hear it close behind him. You also didnā€™t hear footsteps, didnā€™t hear breaths, didnā€™t hear him.Ā 
He follows your gaze and laughs again, though it sounds a bitā€¦ strained?Ā 
ā€œI have a habit of being unintentionally lightfooted. I apologize.ā€Ā 
Your heart is still pounding but you find it in yourself to have some decorum. You snap your jaw shut and bow your head slightly in respect. ā€œYou must be Lord Gojo. Forgive me for my insolence.ā€Ā 
Thereā€™s a beat, and then footstepsā€“ ones you actually hear this time. You clench your jaw when he stops before you and then nearly gasp when he takes your hand and brings it to his lips.Ā 
ā€œSatoru, please,ā€ he winks and you think you might stop breathing. ā€œI am your husband after all.ā€Ā 
You force yourself to nod, to swallow, to act normal. But how can you in the presence of a man that looks likeā€¦ that? Thereā€™s something too unreal about him, too perfect. Itā€™s almostā€¦ unsettling.Ā 
ā€œOf courseā€¦ Satoru.ā€Ā 
He straightens and shows you a close-lipped smile that digs a dimple into his left cheek. You have to look away to avoid stumbling over your own feet.Ā 
ā€œSo, do you like them?ā€ Your brows furrow- ā€œThe dresses,ā€ he clarifies.Ā 
ā€œO-oh.ā€ Your features relax into an easy smile. You turn back to your armoire, running a hand along another gown. You donā€™t think youā€™ve ever touched something soā€¦ finely made. ā€œI like them very much. I donā€™t know how to thank you.ā€Ā 
Thereā€™s a little chuckle as you turn to face him again and you have to steel yourself before you meet his eyes. Heā€™s mesmerizing, too mesmerizing. You think you could probably lose yourself in those eyes foreverā€¦Ā 
ā€œNo need to thank me. If they donā€™t fit, weā€™ll call for the seamstress in the morning.ā€Ā 
You nod softly, still lost to the situation. Thereā€™s a beat of silence in which your husband does nothing butā€¦ look at you. His eyes roam freely and the hair on your arms stands under his gaze. He traces the lines of your nose and jaw and lingers on your pulse. Can he see just how fast your heart is pounding?
ā€œDid youā€¦ get dinner?ā€ Itā€™s a stupid question, you know, but you donā€™t think you can bear another second of that look heā€™s giving you. ā€œI fell asleep and found a plate. I hope I didnā€™t prevent a proper mealā€¦ā€ You trail off. Perhaps you shouldnā€™t have pointed out your own shortcoming?Ā 
He gives you another smile and you swear he inches just a little closer. ā€œYou did no such thing. Iā€™mā€¦ perfectly satisfied.ā€Ā 
You nod, glad that he doesnā€™t seem upset at the very least. Your lips press together, unsure of what to do or say. Youā€™ve never had a husband before. Wasnā€™t he supposed to just sort ofā€¦ put you on the bed andā€¦ do it?
Your eyes flit to said bed and your husband must see because he hurries to continue.Ā 
ā€œWell, Iā€™ll see you in the morning then, hm?ā€ His eyes flit to your armoire and back again. ā€œWear the blue dress with the lace to breakfast, yeah? Been dying to see it on you.ā€ He chuckles like heā€™s just told some sort of amusing joke.
Your brows furrow. That wasā€¦ not the topic youā€™d been expecting. ā€œYouā€™re notā€¦ā€ You feel your cheeks heat and tighten your jaw. ā€œNot staying the night?ā€Ā 
His lashes lower a fraction and those eyes pierce you again. You donā€™t think you could move even if you wanted to, even with him prowling closer, each step eating up the space between you. He doesnā€™t stop until youā€™re nose to nose and you can feel his breath fanning over your cheeks. Itā€™s cold somehow, chilling, and you shiver. He smirks.Ā 
ā€œNot tonight.ā€Ā 
His head dips and for a moment you think heā€™s going to kiss you, but then heā€™s bypassing your mouth altogether and- his lips connect to your pulse. His mouth is cool, just like his breath, and you shiver uncontrollably under his touch.Ā 
His touch is just a fleeting moment, just a wrinkle in time, and then heā€™s gone. His footsteps are quiet brushes on the hardwood and the creak of the door even seems tamed in his presence.Ā 
ā€œGoodnight,ā€ is all he says, and then heā€™s gone.Ā 
You climb into your bed an hour later wondering what in the world just happened.Ā 
~Ā Ā 
You do wear the blue dress to breakfast and you can only gape in the mirror when you realize that it fits perfectly. It has you second-guessing yourself. Had you sent your measurements in advance and forgotten about it? No, youā€™d only sent a handful of pieces of information to the Lord prior to your marriage and you remembered all of them very clearly. Everything had gone through a messenger, everything had been clear and directā€“ you would have remembered sending your measurementsā€“ you didnā€™t. So had he justā€¦ guessed?Ā 
That seemed impossible with how everything fit you like a glove, but it was the only explanation you had. The only one that made sense.Ā 
When you join Satoru for breakfast itā€™s in a sitting room as lavishly decorated as the rest of the castle, but perhaps organized to be a bit moreā€¦ liveable. He has no plate in front of him, only a tin cup that hides the contents of whatever heā€™s drinking. You assume coffee or juice. Perhaps heā€™s just not a breakfast person.Ā 
ā€œIt fits!ā€ he says. His hands clasp together in front of him and he smiles again, dimples and all.Ā 
You nod and fight the heat that bubbles beneath your cheeks as you take your seat. ā€œYes, perfectly.ā€
A plate is set before you and a glance up reveals itā€™s Thomas serving your breakfast. You smile, hoping for some acknowledgement from him, for a small piece of comfort. Instead, you get his averted gaze and quick retreat. Your brows furrow, but before you can say anything, Satoru is back to speaking.Ā 
ā€œI hope Thomas treated you well yesterday?ā€Ā 
You glance up, but Satoruā€™s eyes arenā€™t on you, theyā€™re on your footman. His smile is bright, but itā€™s anything but friendly. You fight a shiver.Ā 
You glance at Thomas. Heā€™s perfectly still, perfectly straight, but you think you see a muscle clench in his jaw. You clear your throat. ā€œY-Yes. Thomas was very helpful.ā€ When Satoru keeps staring the boy down you add, ā€œ-and very respectful.ā€Ā 
That seems to satisfy. Satoru breaks his stare and some of the tension in the air instantly eases. He shoots you another dimpled smile, this one with a little more warmth. ā€œPerfect.ā€Ā 
Thereā€™s a beat and then heā€™s standing, draining whatever he has in his cup and then straightening his jacket. ā€œWell, I have some work to do. Iā€™ll see you for dinner?ā€ Heā€™s grinning again, like itā€™s so normal for a man to abandon his bride on their wedding night and then again the morning after. All you can do is nod. He chuckles. ā€œSee you then, princess.ā€ And then heā€™s gone.
~
If this is to be your life you don't know how you will survive it. You spend the day milling about. Through the gardens, through the castle, through the stables. Thomas is never far behind, but any attempt at conversation is nipped in the bud by hit shortness. Itā€™s like he fears coming too close. Heā€™s never closer than a couple paces except when he has to bring you something, only to retreat again as soon as possible. The other servants barely pay you any mind apart from giving you a respectful greeting and then immediately averting their eyes. There is no work to be done, no guests to be had, no parties to planā€¦ and no Satoru. You donā€™t see your husband once on tour around the grounds. You ask Thomas where his office is only for him to vaguely point out a window in the east tower. You donā€™t see so much as a ripple in the curtains.Ā 
Dinner comes around at the pace of a snail. When itā€™s finally time to get dressed a ladyā€™s maid whose name you donā€™t even catch arrives to help you lace your dress. As soon as your corset is deemed tight enough sheā€™s back out the door with a curtsy. Thomas leads you to the dining room and your eyes roam the whole way. Even after having spent the whole day exploring, there are halls and corridors that youā€™ve yet to step foot in.Ā 
The dining room is just as gorgeous as the rest of the placeā€“ filled with singular items that could feed entire families for years. Somehow, you think youā€™ve already grown accustomed to such things, since the only thing you truly care to look at is your husband. Satoruā€™s already seated, but he stands when you enter, looping around the table to pull a chair out for you.Ā 
You give him your most genuine smile, accepting a kiss to your knuckles in greeting before you settle. ā€œHow was your day?ā€ you ask as he takes his seat again.Ā 
He chuckles. ā€œPerfectly fine. And how was yours, princess?ā€ Your nose crinkles. Thatā€™s the second time heā€™s called you that. Something about it feels wrong. Youā€™re still getting used to being a lady. Princess feels even worse.Ā 
ā€œIt wasā€¦ good.ā€
You watch a perfect white brow arch in the candlelight. ā€œOh? Just good?ā€ You donā€™t miss the way his eyes flicker to the cornerā€“ to Thomas.Ā 
You hurry to elaborate. ā€œWell, I justā€“ I canā€™t help but feel as if thereā€™s not muchā€¦ use for me.ā€ Servants flood in, some carrying wine, others carrying trays that hold more food than the both of you could ever possibly consume.Ā 
That brow arches impossibly higher. ā€œUse?ā€ His lips crack into that smile again, but itā€™s tight this time. Too tight. ā€œYou have no use. You only enjoy yourself. Surely Thomas has told you that.ā€Ā 
A plate of steaming food plops in front of you. Even its heavenly smell canā€™t quell the sudden dread in your gut. ā€œOf course! Of course he did.ā€ Your stomach twists and you decide that perhaps now is not the time to press the subject. ā€œIā€™ll justā€¦ Iā€™ll try riding tomorrow.ā€ You hate riding, but itā€™s the first thing that comes to mind.Ā 
Satoruā€™s smile thaws into something less menacing. ā€œIā€™m sure youā€™ll enjoy that.ā€Ā 
You nod eagerly. ā€œIā€™m sure I will.ā€Ā 
You grab your fork, eager for a new subject. From what you can tell, dinner is roast chicken and vegetables, though itā€™s the luxury version as everything seems to be. The spices are intoxicating and the green beans are even arranged in a pretty little pattern that makes them look too good to eat. You do anyway. The first bite nearly makes you moan, but you chew slowly, delicately, trying not to let your upbringing show.
Itā€™s not until several bites later that you realize youā€™re the only one eating. A quick glance reveals your husband has no platter, no chicken or green beans. Heā€™s onlyā€¦ watching you. You clear your throat, dabbing at your lips with a napkin.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re notā€¦ eating?ā€
That permanent smile grows a little wider and you canā€™t help but feel as if thereā€™s somethingā€¦ menacing about it. ā€œAte before I came.ā€Ā 
Your brows furrow. ā€œOh. Were you on the road?ā€Ā 
You think you see something wild flash in his eyes. ā€œNo.ā€Ā 
The rest of dinner passes slowly, almost painfully. Satoru doesnā€™t eat a bite, doesnā€™t even look enticed. You wonder how thatā€™s possible when it smells like a spice bomb went off in the dining room.Ā 
By the time youā€™ve cleared your plate youā€™ve discussed everything from the number of horses in the stables to kinds of crops grown on the estate. Itā€™s comforting to know a little more about your new home, but itā€™s not enough.Ā 
ā€œIs there a library?ā€ you ask. Youā€™re on dessert now. Itā€™s the best chocolate cake youā€™ve ever had and it takes everything in you to hold back a moan each time it touches your tongue.Ā 
ā€œOf course.ā€ Your husbandā€™s eyes flicker to Thomas again and youā€™re honestly starting to fear for the poor footmanā€™s life. Everytime you ask a question itā€™s like Satoru is angry it hasnā€™t already been answered. ā€œItā€™s yours to use as you please.ā€Ā 
You smile lightly. ā€œPerfect. Thank you.ā€Ā 
He softens a bit at that. ā€œIs there anything specific you wanted to read about?ā€Ā 
You shrug. ā€œThe estate, I suppose. I should know my homeā€™s history, no?ā€
His eyes get that wild look again, that sparkle that you know speaks to nothing good. ā€œOh, absolutely. I have some personal favorites to recommend. Iā€™ll leave them aside for you?ā€Ā 
You swallow and give him a shallow nod. ā€œThat would be perfect. Thank you.ā€Ā 
He chuckles. ā€œMy pleasure.ā€Ā 
When dessert is finally over, you stand slowly. Satoruā€™s not far behind you, saying heā€™ll walk you to your room. Your heart leaps at his words. Will he stay with you tonight?Ā 
He offers you his arm in the hall and your mouth runs dry when you feel the corded muscle beneath his jacket. By the time you reach your room, youā€™re thinking of tugging him in behind you. His denial to stay with you last night was not only confusing, butā€¦ off putting. Nearly offensive. Did he not like how you looked? Did he think something was wrong with you?Ā 
You muster all the courage you possess and force your lips apart. ā€œWill you stay with me tonight?ā€Ā 
His eyes spark again and you hold your breath. He presses closer. This is it, you think. His lips hover over yours, eyes glimmering in the candlelight. And then he dips his head, his mouth pressing to your pulse.Ā 
ā€œNot tonight,ā€ he whispersā€“ and then heā€™s gone.Ā 
~
You wake suddenly. Itā€™s the middle of the night, you gather. The light streaming through the window is weak enough to only be that of the moon.Ā 
Your heart is pounding and your skin is slick with sweat despite the chill in your bones. A nightmare, you think. It must have been a nightmare.Ā 
As you settle back into your sheets you swear you see a ripple in the darkness. You close your eyes. If your nightmare is real, youā€™d rather not see it coming.
~
The library is huge. Itā€™s sprawling and smells of paper and leather and everytime Thomas lights a candle you flinch at the idea that one misplaced spark could end thousands of years of knowledge.Ā 
The books Satoru left you areā€¦ perfect. Just what you were looking for. Theyā€™re all comprehensive volumes of the history of the estate, many of which reference each other. Youā€™re stunned to see that several are written by very well-known authors of both the past and the present. You knew the Gojo familyā€™s influence reached far, but not that far. You peruse the titles. The Gojos: A History, A History of the Gojo Crest, History of the Gojo Castle, Revisiting the Gojo Family: A Comprehensive History. Altogether you have well over a few thousand pages of informationā€“ but thereā€™s one book that doesnā€™t fit with the rest. Itā€™s relatively unassuming. A black cover with some sort of gold rune etched onto its front. When you flip to the title page it reads ā€œCreatures of Myth and Where To Find Themā€. Your brows furrow. You slide it to the sideā€“ must have gotten mixed in with the others, you think.
~
You ask Thomas to bring the books to your room. He does. Very respectfully. He sets them on your bedside table and then retreats like a kicked puppy with only a polite goodbye. You sigh. His behavior has only gotten stranger in the past few days. You think the servantsā€™ coldness must have something to do with Satoru, but you canā€™t figure out why. Had he ordered them to stay away? Why would he?Ā 
You decide itā€™s a question for another day and dive into your books. You spend hours, days, reading every chapter, page, and word. The pure amount of information is dizzying. Apparently this specific estate had been in the hands of the Gojo family since the eighth century (with several razings and consequential rebuilds). You also learn that Satoru was not only the most wealthy lord on the continent, but the most wealthy man. Even wealthier than the king apparently, though that fact was kept fairly under wraps to protect the crownā€™s ego. The estimates of your husbandā€™s net worth made your head spin.
Satoru joins you for breakfast and dinner every day. You never see him eat a morsel. Itā€™sā€¦ unsettling to say the least. Itā€™s always just that tin cup, filled with something you could never quite see. You develop a pattern of waking in the night, too, with the overwhelming sense that something is watching you. Sometimes you could swear you feel the bed shift as you jerk awake. Each time you simply close your eyes and try your best to slow your heart, convinced your mind is playing tricks on you.Ā 
Your days feel a little more productive with a book in your hands, but youā€™ve read them all three times over by the time a fortnight has passed. You find yourself packing them up to return to Thomas when a certain black cover catches your attention. You grab it from the pile and settle back into your seat. Youā€™ve nothing better to do, right?Ā 
You flip back the cover, revealing a familiar title. ā€œCreatures of Myth and Where to Find Themā€. You donā€™t recognize the authorā€™s name. A quick scroll through the table of contents reveals nothing particularly interesting, but you pick a random chapter on ghouls and decide to start there.Ā 
Itā€™s fascinating. Nothing about the style is boring and the words fly by. Your silly little myth book is a page turner. By the time you notice the light has started dying youā€™ve read about ghosts, fairies, werewolves, and goblinsā€“ all of which have been a delightful little read. A glance at the clock reveals you have a half hour before dinner. One more chapter, you think. Your eyes skim the title. ā€œVampires [Vampyr]ā€.Ā 
You skim the first paragraphs until your eyes settle on a line that catches your eye.Ā 
ā€œContrary to popular belief, vampires are not always crazed blood-hungry monsters. Many live among humans quite comfortably and are able to avoid detection with a little well-placed effort.ā€Ā 
You purse your lips. What aā€¦ terrifying thought. You skim a little further.Ā 
ā€œA vampireā€™s key characteristic is, of course, their desire and need to drink human blood as sustenance. However, a vampire can be spotted sooner if one is able to recognize their subtler traits. Vampires often have skin lacking any sort of flush. The lack of blood in their veins results in a sickly pallor, even after the most rigorous exercise. Their skin is also noticeably cold to the touch. At best, a vampireā€™s body will reach room temperature. Vampires can also be noted for their preternatural beauty. They will stand out as the most attractive person in any crowd. Finally, a vampire will have fangs. If one wishes to identify a vampire, one only needs a good look at their teethā€.
A chill settles over your skin. You flip ahead a few pages.Ā 
ā€œVampires are unable to consume typical human food. Should they attempt to, their bodies will immediately reject any and all foreign substances.ā€Ā 
Your stomach drops. You donā€™t want to think about why. You skip the rest of the paragraph.Ā 
ā€œVampires possess several supernatural abilities that set them apart as a humanā€™s predator rather than their equal. Vampires are known to move unnaturally fast and are notably light footed. If a vampire does not wish to be heard, they will not be. A vampireā€™s strength is inhuman, well over ten times that of the average man. They also have a penchant for darkness, an ability to hide away in the shadows that cannot be explained. Oftentimes they will seem to appear from thin air.ā€
You skip ahead again.
ā€œVampires have been known to take mates. Mates usually come in the form of another vampire, but in some cases a human has been chosen. Vampires are fiercely protective of their mates, bordering on obsession. Any person deemed a threat to their bond or their mateā€™s safety is usually disposed of quickly. Oftentimes, vampires make these decisions with haste, with little regard for whether or not the threat was real. A vampire will do everything in their power to please their mate, but have been known to forcibly restrain their mates in situations of unrequited feelings. Above all else, vampires wish to possess their mates. Two bonded vampires will sometimes spiral into gloriously destructive fits in their endless desire to protect and possess one another. A vampire bonded to a human will show an increasingly protective nature, often isolating their mate from others.ā€
Your heart pounds. A bead of sweat rolls down your back. You flip the pages, desperateā€“ desperate for a piece of information that will save you from the thoughts spilling in your mind, from the thoughts you will do anything not to believe. You reach the ā€œWhere to Find Themā€ subsection and nearly gasp with relief. Surely, vampires do not pose as wealthy lords of Europe?Ā 
ā€œVampires can be found everywhere. They do not exist in only one country or continent, but all over the world. Odds are that you have faced at least one vampire in your life, unknowingly or not. Some vampires choose to live solitary lives, surviving in the wilderness where human society will not attempt to tame their wild nature. Others choose to live among humans, some even existing in positions of very high authority.ā€Ā 
No, no, no. This canā€™t be happening to you. It canā€™t be real. Youā€™re dreaming, youā€™re having one of those nightmares again. Youā€™re going to wake up any second.Ā 
ā€œOne tale recounts a razing of the Gojo estate in the 12th century.ā€Ā 
Youā€™re panting, hyperventilating. This isnā€™t happening.Ā 
ā€œSoldiers of the enemy force recounted a singular man, the son and heir of the then Lord Gojo, taking out a minimum of 800 men. He was described as having his familyā€™s characteristic white hair as well as blue eyes. Eyewitness accounts depict the Gojo heir as covered in blood and killing savagely and with inhuman strength.ā€Ā 
No, no, no.Ā 
ā€œ(See next page for only existing portrait)ā€
Your fingers tremble but you canā€™t stop them. Thereā€™s no way. Itā€™s not possible.Ā 
You flip the page and Satoru stares back at you.Ā 
Knock! Knock! Knock!
You nearly scream. Your door rattles angrily, but youā€™re not sure you can answer it, not with the knowledge flooding your mind. The knocking continues. You run your hand over your face and smooth down your hair. You feel frazzled, dirty, despite not having moved from your chair all day. Another knock prompts you to set your book aside and stand. You do your best to compose yourself, to put on a straight face. You fail instantly when you pull back the door not to reveal your faithful attendant, not Thomas, but Satoru.Ā 
You bite back a shriek and instead force a smile. Youā€™re suddenly very aware of the blood pounding in you veins and of the fact that he most likely knows.Ā 
ā€œHello,ā€ he says, but his voice is lower than usually, more intense.Ā 
You force a breath into your lungs. ā€œHello,ā€ you answer, but it sounds more like a squeak than a greeting.Ā 
Something flashes in his eyes, something familiar, something that is no longer interesting but rather terrifying. ā€œAre you alright? You seem a littleā€¦ flushed.ā€ The concern on his face feels anything but genuine.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m fine,ā€ you answer, but even you can tell that reply too quickly, too eagerly. You rush to cover it up. ā€œIs it time for dinner? Whereā€™s Thomas?ā€Ā 
His lip twitches and you see a muscle in his jaw flex. ā€œThomas hasā€¦ left us.ā€Ā 
No. This wasnā€™t happening to you. There was no way this was happening to you.Ā 
ā€œHeā€¦ what?ā€ Thereā€™s an unmistakable wobble in your voice that only causes Satoruā€™s face to fall further.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s no matter. Heā€™s gone. Now itā€™s just you and me, hm?ā€ He chuckles and the sound rattles your bones. ā€œIn fact, I was thinking Iā€™d cut down on the number of servants we have entirelyā€¦ā€Ā 
You mind races with the memory of knowledge you wish you didnā€™t have. ā€œVampires are fiercely protective of their mates, bordering on obsession. Any person deemed a threat to their bond or their mateā€™s safety is usually disposed of quickly.ā€
You nearly stumble, but lean against the doorframe just in time. Your husband had disposed of a man, all because he brought you meals and books?
ā€œWhat have you been up to today, princess?ā€ The question breaks your trance just in time for you to see your husbandā€™s eyes flicker behind you.Ā 
You wet your lips. ā€œJust some reading.ā€ You plead that he doesnā€™t ask anything further. He does.Ā 
ā€œAbout the estate?ā€ he asks.Ā 
You nod and try to swallow the lump in your throat. ā€œYes.ā€
His smile returns and this time itā€™s not forced. ā€œYou got my books, then?ā€Ā 
You try smiling back, but youā€™re fairly sure it looks more like a grimace. ā€œYes.ā€
ā€œAnything interesting?ā€ he presses.
This isnā€™t happening. This canā€™t be happening. Does he know? Does he know that you know? ā€œYes, of course. Lots.ā€Ā 
He pauses and you see the debate and then the decision in his eyes. You think itā€™s the first time youā€™ve felt true terror when he meets your gaze again. ā€œI think we should skip dinner tonight. It seems we have so much to discuss.ā€
You donā€™t even have the wherewithal to scream when he steps into you, forcing you back until heā€™s shutting your door behind him. He doesnā€™t stop there, though. He keeps pressing, keeps pushing until your knees hit the bed and youā€™re falling to the mattress. He crawls right after you.
ā€œWho knew my little wife was such a reader? All those books in such a short timeā€¦ You must be simply spilling with information.ā€Ā 
You retreat across the mattress, squeaking when your back hits the headboard and his arms cage your waist. Youā€™re trapped.
His hands find your hips and youā€™re all too aware of how cool his touch is. Even more so when he pulls you right into his lap.
ā€œSatoru-ā€ your voice is pitiful, breathless, and youā€™re ashamed to say itā€™s not just from the fear in your gut. Heā€™s never been this close before, never touched you, held you like this. ā€œThomas-ā€Ā 
ā€œDonā€™t speak his name.ā€ His face pulls into the first scowl youā€™ve ever seen and the sight is enough to root you to the spot. Never have you seen anything more frightening. A creature so beautiful, so perfectly angelic, filled with an insurmountable rage. Itā€™s wrong. ā€œHeā€™s gone. Heā€™ll never bother you again.ā€ Heā€™s closer now, his breath skating over your skin. Itā€™s cool and now you know the reason why.Ā 
You shake and tremble and you knowā€“ Thomas is dead. Your husband killed himā€“ killed him for getting too close when all he did was stay at a distance. Satoru killed him. Killed him.Ā 
He buries himself in your neck, his voice a near whine. ā€œThought I could put up with it, just so youā€™d have someone to take care of youā€¦ā€ He groans. ā€œI was so wrong, princess. Couldnā€™t stand it. Couldnā€™t stand the way you smelled more like him than meā€¦ā€Ā 
You feel him melt against you then, relief washing over his body in a wave. ā€œBut heā€™s gone. And now itā€™s just you and me, hm? Just you and meā€¦ā€ He hums, like remembering that fact is all heā€™s ever needed.
Heā€™s kissing your pulse again, now, and your heart is racing faster than ever. Your fingers curl into his shoulders. You should push him away, away, away. Heā€™s a killer, of thousands no doubt. Youā€™ve never felt at home here, never felt like you belonged. This is why. Youā€™re not even the same species. Heā€™s something else, something your hands were never meant to touch.Ā 
Your mind screams at you to do go, to shove and kick at him and leave this place behind. Go, go, go your gut saysā€¦ but you donā€™t. You canā€™t. Itā€™s tooā€¦ good. The feeling of his cool lips against your skin, of what youā€™re sure is his tongue prodding at your pulseā€¦ itā€™s intoxicating. He is intoxicating. How could anyone blame you for wanting more of someone, something, so divine?Ā 
ā€œHave you figured it out yet, love?ā€ Your breath hitches and he chuckles, licking a long stripe up your neck, before he settles back at your pulse. Always your pulse. ā€œI can feel those little gears turning. Tell me, what have they discovered?ā€Ā 
He knows you know. But heā€™s going to make you say it. You swallow and feel his grip on you tighten. ā€œYouā€™reā€¦ā€ Your breaths come faster. You canā€™t. Not aloud. Aloud makes it tooā€¦ real.Ā 
ā€œYessss?ā€ he prods. Heā€™s licking at you again, all the way across your throat to find your other pulse-point.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re notā€¦ā€ Something sharps nicks at your skin and you bite your lip to hold back a whimper.Ā 
ā€œGo on, princess.ā€ You think heā€™s just smelling you now, just burying his face as close to you as possible and taking you in.Ā 
You close your eyes tightly, holding back tears. ā€œNot human,ā€ you breathe. A piece of you breaks with the admission.
He huffs a little laugh against your skin and pulls back to look you in the eye. ā€œThatā€™s good,ā€ he purrs. ā€œBut I think you can be a little more specific, no?ā€ His lips press to your chin, then the corner of your mouth, then down to your jawā€¦ ā€œTell me.ā€Ā 
Your lips wobble, muscles clenching tighter with each passing moment. You donā€™t want to say it, donā€™t want to speak it into existence, but you also donā€™t dare to disobey him.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re aā€¦ā€ You shake and tremble. He draws a line up your neck with the tip of his nose.
ā€œMhm?ā€Ā 
You open your eyes, thinking this might be the last time you see. ā€œVampire.ā€Ā 
He chuckles and you feel his teeth press to the skin of your neck. ā€œThatā€™s right, princess. So smart.ā€Ā 
He smiles and you suddenly realize youā€™ve never seen his teeth before. Everytime he smiles at you itā€™s close-lipped and dimpled. But thisā€¦ this is the smile of a predatorā€“ all white and pointy and fitted with a set of menacingly long fangs. You sob at the sight.Ā 
ā€œShhhhh,ā€ he coos. He has your chin in his hand, forcing you to truly look at him, to see him for what he is. ā€œI wonā€™t hurt you, love.ā€ You want to believe him so badly it burns, but his laugh washes away any fire and turns it to ice. ā€œNot unless you want me to.ā€ He wiggles a brow like itā€™s just a little joke, like heā€™s not an actual fucking vampire that had his fangs over your neck just moments ago.Ā 
ā€œSatoru,ā€ you beg. Youā€™re not sure what youā€™re begging for. Release maybe? But, no, thatā€™s not right. You donā€™t want him to let you go, not when you finally have him close after all this time. ā€œWhy did you pick me?ā€Ā 
The question slips out. You hadnā€™t even been thinking about it, hadnā€™t even noticed it scratching at the walls of your mind, but it made its way out nonetheless.
His brow creases, but not in confusion. Moreso inā€¦ thoughtfulness. ā€œDo you think about that a lot, princess?ā€Ā 
You nod and you suddenly want him closer, want him to touch you everywhere, hold you like his life depends on it. You want him, no matter how horrible it might be.Ā 
He nods and hums, kissing the tip of your nose lightly. ā€œWellā€¦ā€ he says. His thumb swipes over your lips when he leans in to whisper in your ear. ā€œAt first I wanted you for this.ā€ His head dips to your neck again and you feel the familiar brush of his lips against your throat. ā€œYou smellā€¦ā€ he chuckles. ā€œLike heaven. Which is a place Iā€™ll never get to on my own, so I had to bring my own little slice home, no?ā€ He laughs again, a little louder this time, genuinely amused. ā€œWent into town one day and caught your scent on the street. At first I thought I must be walking past the bakery, but, lo and behold, there was no baker in sight.ā€ Heā€™s still kissing at your pulse, worshiping it. ā€œWent crazy, princess. Didnā€™t think I was going to be able to contain myself when I found you. Thought it might be quite the scene.ā€ He huffs a laugh and you shiver, somehow both terrified and intoxicated. ā€œBut then I saw youā€“ā€ he groans and something clenches deep at your center. ā€œAnd I knew I needed more than just your blood. Needed you.ā€ Heā€™s rocking into you now, and your breath catches when you feel something firm against your backside. ā€œWent to you in that little room you slept in every night. Watched you. Couldnā€™t stay away. Knew I had to have you.ā€ You feel him smile against your skin. ā€œAfter a week I couldnā€™t take it anymore. Sent you that letter, married you. Made you mine.ā€ He groans again. ā€œThen I met you and you were so pretty, princess. Already knew it, but hearinā€™ you talk to me, look at me.ā€ Teeth graze your pulse. ā€œNeeded you more than ever. Almost took you right on the fucking floor in here while you were lookinā€™ at those dresses.ā€ You whine when his hips roll into you again. ā€œOh, but I knew I couldnā€™t. Youā€™re so fragile, love. Had to wait, had to make you feel safe, yeah? Spent all this time forcing myself to stay away, ā€˜fraid of what I might too if I was in your presence too long. Had to control myself. Had to make you realize you could trust me.ā€ He panting, like heā€™s so pent up he can hardly sit still. ā€œDo you trust me, princess?ā€Ā 
Your brows scrunch. Say no, say no, say no a part of you screams. Run, run, run. You canā€™t. ā€œYes,ā€ you breathe.Ā 
You feel him smile again, feel the pleasure of submission. ā€œGood girl.ā€Ā 
Youā€™re on your back. It happens so fast your eyes donā€™t even have time to gasp. You donā€™t see Satoru, but you feel him. Everywhere. His hands are roaming your body softly, sliding under buttons and laces and popping them off. Your dress loosens with every passing moment until Satoru reappears above you, diving straight for your neck again. ā€œSo good, princess. Letā€™s get you out of this dress, yeah?ā€Ā 
You nod wordlessly, entranced. He finds your mouth as he rids you of your clothes. His tongue presses in and you flail against him, unsure of what to do, of how to handle the intrusion. The kiss is heavy, too heavy, but Satoru canā€™t seem to stop. He devours you as he gives up on laces and buttons and simply shreds your dress down the back. You tremble when the cold air hits your skin, when his cool fingers dust your collarbone.Ā 
ā€œI always forget how many damn layers they make you ladies wear,ā€ he chuckles. His hands run beneath your shift, up across your bare thigh. You gasp at the touch. No one has even been so close to you before. You feel the threads of your corset snapping away, feel your breaths growing deeper. You tremble when he pulls your sleeve down past your shoulder and runs his mouth along the newly exposed skin.Ā 
ā€œSatoru,ā€ you gasp, and your hand pulls at his flowing white shirt.Ā 
He chuckles, pulling back just enough to see your face. ā€œYou wanna see me too?ā€ You nod, lips parted and eyes glassy, and he laughs again. He lips dust over the corner of your mouth. ā€œAlright.ā€Ā 
His hands shift from you to himself, working at the laces on his chest. His movements are speedy, practiced, like heā€™s been lacing and unlacing shirts for hundreds of years. Your throat tightens when you realize that he has.Ā 
You gasp when he reveals himself, when his shirt slides away to reveal an expanse of pale skin and carved muscle. Youā€™ve never seen a man like this and seeing one this close up for the first time is nearly blinding. Heā€™s art, you think- nothing less.Ā 
ā€œTouch me, princess,ā€ he says. You canā€™t. You shouldnā€™t. Heā€™s too beautiful, too perfect to be beneath your insignificant hands. ā€œNeed a little help?ā€ he asks, and thereā€™s a lilt in his voice that makes you sure heā€™s grinning.Ā 
His hands find yours and bring them to his chest, running your palms over his collarbones, his pecs, down, down, down across his abs that you can feel each and every oneā€¦ You whimper, watching your own fingers grope his skin. He pulls you lower, lower, lower, and you gasp when your fingertips brush the waistband of his pants. But then heā€™s laughing again and heā€™s throwing your arms over his shoulders and pulling you closer, kissing your neck like it pained him to be parted from your pulse for so long.Ā 
ā€œNot so fast,ā€ he says, like he wasnā€™t the one nearly stuffing your hands down his pants. His hands are on your corset again. You can feel it dangling onto you by a thread, literally. All he needs is a couple more pulls and youā€™ll be bare. By the look he gives you, you can tell heā€™sĀ 
thinking the same thing. ā€œYou touch me, now I touch you, yeah?ā€ Thereā€™s a tug and a tear and then so muchā€¦ cold. Youā€™ve never realized how cold this castle is, not until youā€™re exposed to its elements fully. Youā€™re naked.Ā 
Satoru sits back on his knees and just watches. His gaze is searing, burning, despite the iciness of his being. Itā€™s too much. Your hands move to cover yourself, to maintain some modicum of your dignity-Ā 
ā€œNo.ā€ Strong hands find your wrists and pry them apart. ā€œLet me see you,ā€ he says. His tongue darts out to lick his lips.Ā 
Your jaw clenches and your frame shakes, but you do as he asks, letting your hands fall limply at your sides. Thereā€™s silence for many more moments and it seems to go on so long that you can only squeeze your eyes shut under his gaze. Surely he will turn you away now, get up and leave, tell you this was a mistake, tell you that youā€™reā€“Ā 
ā€œBeautiful,ā€ he breathes. Your eyes snap open to find him already staring at you. ā€œBeautiful,ā€ he says again, and then heā€™s on you, lips at your pulse, hands on your skin. His touch is cool and you squeak at the chill that runs up your spine. Youā€™re not sure itā€™s entirely from his temperature.Ā 
His mouth seeks yours and he devours you. You feel as if heā€™s sucking your soul out through your lips. ā€œTell me youā€™ve never done this before,ā€ he begs. ā€œTell me Iā€™m the first to touch you.ā€Ā 
You whine against his mouth, both aching for more and overwhelmed by what heā€™s already giving you. ā€œY-Youā€™re the first,ā€ you whisper.Ā 
His groan is deep, primal. It rattles through your chest and you whimper when his hands dig into your waist hard enough to bruise. ā€œYes,ā€ he breathes, and you shiver again. ā€œLie back, princess.ā€ Your eyes widen, with anticipation or fear youā€™re not sure. Probably both. He chuckles. ā€œDonā€™t worry. Iā€™ll be gentle.ā€Ā 
You pray he means that. ā€œJust relax, love. Here, hold my hand.ā€ His fingers find yours, twining them together. When you swallow, his eyes follow the bob of your throat. He leans back again and your body twitches when his free hand skims the skin of your thighs. His tongue darts out to wet his lips as he finds your knees and you gasp when he parts your legs, revealing you so completely to his gaze. The way he stares, like heā€™s committing you to memory, itā€™s nearly enough to make you snap your thighs shut, but a squeeze from his hand reminds you to relax, to trust.Ā 
His palm skates up your thigh and settles near your hip, his fingertips inching closer to where you can feel an embarrassing throb.Ā 
ā€œTell me, love. Have you ever touched yourself here?ā€ His fingers dust low on your tummy- just low enough for you to catch his meaning, but not low enough to give you any relief. Your face heats and your teeth dig into the flesh of your cheek. You have, you have touched yourself there, but itā€™s the last thing you want to admit to your new husband. Itā€™s shameful, itā€™s dirty, itā€™s- ā€œDonā€™t think Iā€™ll judge you, princess. Just wanna know.ā€Ā 
You gulp down a breath. You should come clean. ā€œY-yes,ā€ you stutter, and the sound of your voice so weak and helpless only makes you flush further.Ā 
He chuckles and squeezes your hand again. ā€œOn the outside or the inside?ā€Ā 
Your eyes widen. I-inside? Youā€™d never considered thatā€¦ ā€œJ-just the outside,ā€ you answer.Ā 
Your eyes grow even wider when his head rolls back and he moans straight up to the ceiling like your answer is heaven-sent. When he looks back to you his fangs are on full display. ā€œWell, I think you and I are in for a little treat today, hm?ā€Ā 
Your brow furrows and your lips part to ask him what he meansā€“ his fingers travel those last few inches down your tummy and find your clit. You squeak and jolt so violently that he presses a hand to your hip, holding you to the mattress. ā€œSomebodyā€™s sensitive,ā€ he chuckles. He holds you still for a moment and then lets your hips go free. ā€œTry to stay still. I promise itā€™ll feel good.ā€
You nod hopelessly, but this time youā€™re prepared for when he touches you again. Your muscles clench at the first touch, at the foreign sensation of a touch down there that wasnā€™t your own. But then itā€™s more. Itā€™s languid, slow circles around a spot that youā€™ve never been able to pinpoint so well on your own. Itā€™s heat building in your tummy that seeps through every vein and into every pore. Itā€™s relaxation that youā€™ve never known, that has you melting into the mattress despite the chill of the touch.Ā 
Thereā€™s a little huff of a laugh and then his voice. ā€œGood girl. Feels nice, yeah?ā€ You nod hesitantly and squeeze desperately at his hand, searching for an anchor. His head cocks to the side and you watch the smile slide across his lips. ā€œItā€™s about to feel even nicer.ā€Ā 
By the time you realize what heā€™s doing itā€™s far too late to stop him. His mouth closes around your cunt and you yelp, trying to wiggle away from the overwhelming sensation- but heā€™s got his freehand on your hip again and his grip is bruising, punishing, as he holds you in place. He licks a stripe through your folds and you find yourself jolting again, uselessly so against the pressure of his palm on your hip. ā€œStop that, princess.ā€ Your heart drops at the admonishment until you feel his guiding touch. ā€œRock into me like this.ā€ His hand rocks your hips into his mouth and the pressure of his tongue against your clit is so delicious that you whimper. ā€œGood girl,ā€ he says and your heart rises right back up. ā€œKeep doing that, now.ā€ You donā€™t dare defy him. You rock like he showed you, a little jerkily at first, and then you find a rhythm that has you seeing stars. ā€œThatā€™s it, love,ā€ he says, and the sound is muffled against your cunt. ā€œHere, put your hand in my hair.ā€ He finds your wrist and guides you forward until your fingers are tangling in those snowy locks. Theyā€™re even softer than youā€™d imagined. ā€œGood girl,ā€ he whispers and suddenly heā€™s taking one last long lick and lifting his head to meet your eyes. ā€œā€˜M gonna put my fingers in you now, princess.ā€ Your chin wobbles. ā€œIt might hurt a little bit, but stay still, okay?ā€ You canā€™t do anything but nod.Ā 
His eyes return to your cunt and you can feel him prodding at your entrance, circling the hole as you clench in anticipation. ā€œRelaaaaaax, love,ā€ he says and you nod. A deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouthā€“Ā 
You feel the exact moment he pushes into you and a whine of pain rips from your throat. Your walls clamp down like a vice, angry at the intrusionā€“ but itā€™s already too late. Thereā€™s a beat of silence, of anticipation, and then heā€™sā€“ laughing?Ā 
Your brows furrow when you hear it, your head lifting to a sight that locks your limbs in shock. Satoruā€™s hand is lifted in front of his face, his pointer finger coated inā€“ blood, you realize. Your blood. And heā€™s a fucking vampire.Ā 
ā€œOh princess,ā€ he coos, and the manic look in his eyes makes you tremble. ā€œYou really are perfect.ā€Ā 
Things seem to slow as you watch him take his blood covered finger into his mouth. Youā€™re sure youā€™ve never seen an expression more blissful, more lost to sensation. His eyes roll back and his body shivers, like heā€™s ascending to some higher plane. Maybe he is.Ā 
When he pulls his finger from his mouth itā€™s completely licked clean. You hold your breath. Heā€™s going to go for your neck now, right? Heā€™s had a taste and now heā€™ll want more of it, all of it?
ā€œFuck,ā€ is all he says. His mouth is back on your cunt so fast you donā€™t even see him move.Ā 
Your mouth falls wide. It hurts, the way he is so desperately licking at you. You feel his finger again, pressing in, in, in, only to pull back and suddenly be joined by another. The stretch tears at you. You thrash and jolt, but Satoru doesnā€™t bother telling you to stop this time. His arm wraps over your hips, holding you in place. He seems immune to how hard your legs squeeze at his head or your hands pull at his hair. Heā€™s lost. You can feel him licking, lapping, and prodding at you like youā€™re a fucking gold mine. Heā€™s lost to desperation, to the need for more, more, more. Every so often he lifts his chin and you see his mouth smudged with a mixture of your wetness and your blood. He laps at his lips like an animal, dragging his thumb across his chin and sliding it into his mouth to make sure he gets every last drop.Ā 
Youā€™re not quite sure when the ravenous pain turns to a ravenous pleasure, when it turns from terrifying to downright delicious. You donā€™t notice your moans filling the air until Satoru joins you, groaning and whining into your cunt and telling you to keep going, to keep making those sounds. The hand you have buried in his hair doesnā€™t fight to push him away any longer, only to pull him into those now practiced rocks of your hips. His fingers thrust deep, curling into a spot that makes you feel so good and his mouth has found your clit again. He sucks your nerves lightly between his lips, tongue swirling in little circles. Your thighs start to shake.Ā 
ā€œYes. Yes. Give it to me.ā€Ā 
ā€œS-Satoruā€“ā€ you breathe. Warmth and tightness pool in your tummy, and you recognize it as your approaching orgasm, though you know this one will be far different than any youā€™ve ever managed to give yourself. Your body shakes and your breaths tremble and thenā€“ you fall over the edge, rocking your hips senselessly, losing all form of rhythm. Warmth tingles in your spine and seeps all the way down to your toes. You think you cry out, cry for your husband, cry for more, cry for less, but if you do you donā€™t hear it. All you hear is the pounding of your pulse, of pleasure throbbing in your veins until the world slowly seeps back in through the corners of your vision.Ā 
Satoru is grinning. A speck of your blood clings to his chin and his fangs peek out from behind his lips. The sight makes your blood run a little colder. If any part of you doubted what he was beforeā€¦ well, there was no doubt any longer.Ā 
Thereā€™s a shift between your legs, his hips slotting between them, and youā€™re suddenly snapped back to reality. From the look in his eyes, youā€™re not done.Ā 
Frantic hands find his pants and he undoes each button with a quickness that is almost inhuman. You wonder if he could go even faster, if heā€™s holding back so as not to scare you. If he is, it isnā€™t working very well. Fear surges in your veins right alongside anticipation.Ā 
ā€œS-Satoruā€“ā€
ā€œItā€™s alright, love.ā€ His hand finds yours without his eyes ever looking up. His grip is just a little too firm, a little too cold. ā€œJust stay still.ā€Ā 
You whimper, but you donā€™t think heā€™s paying attention to that, and soon enough, neither are you. His pants slide down just past his hips, just enough. You gasp.Ā 
Youā€™ve never seen a man in the nude, never even dared to think about what it might look like, though it seemed you no longer had to guess. His hand wrapped around his shaft, giving one long and slow stroke that made his breath hiss through his fangs. The tip was flushed, angry, and leaking something that looked clear and sticky. You couldnā€™t help but notice it was a lot thicker than a finger, or even two. If his fingers had hurtā€¦
He moves with that alarming quickness again, leaning down to hover over you, chests nearly pressed together. ā€œGonna take you now, princess. Gonna make you mine.ā€ His eyes bore into yours, blue and shimmering with something wild. His hand presses into the mattress beside your head. ā€œStay still, now.ā€
Itā€™s all the warning he gives you. You feel like youā€™re splittingā€“ straight up the middle. You wail, hands flying out to claw at his back. It hurts. It hurts.Ā 
ā€œSatoru, p-please! Itā€™sā€“ā€Ā 
Lips catch yoursā€“ hungry, feral. The kiss is not gentle, not soothing. It shuts you up, it keeps you quiet, it keeps you still as you feel him sinking further, deeper into you. Itā€™s too much, you try to say, but the poke of sharp teeth against your lips keeps you silent. Your hips jolt and wiggle trying desperately to escape the stretch but itā€™s no use. By the time heā€™s fully inside you, tears are streaking down your cheeks, fat and heavy. His lips break away and his eyes reappear. You shake when you see that none of the wildness has been tamed, that youā€™ve only just begun.
ā€œGood girl,ā€ he coos, and a cool finger traces a line across your jaw. ā€œTook me so well.ā€ You hold back a sob when his hips shift a little, testing, prodding. He must see the pinch of your eyes, the twist of your mouth, because heā€™s quick to comfort. ā€œJust hold my hand, princess.ā€ His hips rock in earnest this time and you whimper, squeezing down on his hand with all your might. Youā€™re panting as he chuckles. ā€œBreathe, love. Breathe. Soon youā€™ll be begging for more,ā€ he laughs. Itā€™s not long before heā€™s rocking into you sincerely, setting a pace that stretches you to the brink of breaking. At first itā€™s all you can do to grasp onto him, to bite your lips through the whimpers and hold his hand. And then itā€™sā€¦ more. Itā€™s heat and warmth despite the coolness of his body on yours. Itā€™s sensation andā€¦ pleasure. He laughs when the first moan slides past your lips, burying his face in your neck once again. You hear him at your ear, panting his hot breath across your skin.Ā 
ā€œFeel good, princess?ā€ You nod, letting your hips rock against his as he showed you before. It feels goodā€“ it feels right. He chuckles, but thereā€™s nothing light about the sound. ā€œWanna feel even better?ā€ Something sharp pokes at the skin of your neck, hard enough to make you squeak, to make you freeze at what you know he wants.Ā 
He pulls himself back, pressing his forehead to yours, searching your eyes with his. Something like a cruel smile dances on his mouth. ā€œJust a taste, love. I promise it wonā€™ hurt.ā€ His tongue darts out and licks across your lips, his thrusts rocking just a bit faster. ā€œYouā€™ll feel sā€™ good anā€™ Iā€™ll only take a little.ā€ He laughs again and it sends a chill through your bones. ā€œPromise.ā€ He sounds breathless, like heā€™s struggling to restrain himself. The increase of his pace makes you whine and you squeeze his hand again. He buries himself back in your neck, panting. ā€œCome on, love. Say yes. Say yes fā€™ me.ā€ Your eyes glaze over. Your body justles with each new thrust. Heā€™s desperate now, seeking a release that you donā€™t think is any kind youā€™re familiar with. ā€œYes, yes, yes,ā€ he chants in your ear. Youā€™re not sure when his words twist in your mind, when they settle on your tongue and push past your lips, but you know it feels so right when they do.Ā 
ā€œYes,ā€ you whisper.Ā 
His fangs clamp around your pulse. You scream when the sting rips through you, violent and savageā€“ but it only lasts a moment. Pain fades toā€¦ ecstasy. You feel his throat bobbing with each swallow, feel your blood seeping from your skin and onto his tongue. Youā€™d thought it would feel slicing, draining, like the life was being sucked from you. It doesnā€™t. It feels wonderful. Heat spreads under your skin, emanating from your neck and down to your toes. It feels like breathing for the first time, like sugar being pumped into your veins. It feels like heaven. Your hand tangles in his hair, holding him close. You donā€™t want it to stop, not ever. You could die like this, have him suck every last drop of blood from your veins and thank him for it with your dying breath.Ā 
Heā€™s moaning now, hands curling into your hips while he fucks into you relentlessly. The pace is grueling and brutal. You know it should hurt but only feels perfect. Anything less would not be enough. Anything else would leave you wanting. You feel it building, feel that familiar twinge at your core. The ecstasy flooding through your veins has it coming faster, has you teetering on the edge in moments.Ā 
ā€œSatoruā€¦ā€ You hadnā€™t noticed how dizzy you felt until you tried to speak. You wonder whyā€¦ ā€œā€˜M gonnaā€¦ā€Ā 
He fucks you harder, something menacing and deep rumbling in his chest. The sound makes you shiver, makes you whine, makes you come.Ā 
Your body shakes and a cry rips from your throat, cunt clenching like a vice around him. Your eyes roll back, hands scraping trails down his back. Your thighs quake with the intensity, with the overwhelming senses of pleasure that erupt throughout your body. Every nerve is firing, every hair rising. Itā€™s an unstoppable current, one that sweeps you away, helpless to its pull.Ā 
His thrusts grow sloppy and untimed. His grip on your hips tightens, holding you in place while he makes you his. His teeth break from your neck and when you look up through blurry eyes you see his head thrown back, your blood streaming down his chin in thick little globs. You feel it when he cums, feel the thick ropes of it seeping into your womb, feel the way he keeps fucking you, pushing it deeper and deeper inside. Heā€™s moaning, chanting your name like a prayer at the heavens.Ā 
When the moment ends he slumps over you, eyes half lidded and tired. Thereā€™s a familiar grin on his lips, one that inspires both comfort and uneasiness in your gut. You canā€™t help but stare at him, at the blood that stains his chin and cheeks, that reddens his lips so beautifully. You want to reach out and touch him, touch his blood-soaked skin and see what it feels like, what it tastes like. What you taste like.Ā 
His eyes slide to the side, finding your pulse again. You groan. Yes, you think. Please, yes. More. You donā€™t think youā€™ll ever get enough of that. Of his teeth in your flesh, of the euphoria flooding your veins. More, more, more, your mind chants.Ā 
He chuckles lightly and shakes his head. ā€œNo, princess.ā€ He raises a finger to trace the curve of your neck. ā€œI took more than I should haveā€¦ā€ His expression doesnā€™t tense with worry. His cheeks pull into a smile, those little dimples shining through. ā€œBut what can I say? You just taste so good.ā€ Like he needs to emphasize his point, his tongue darts out to trace his lips, lapping up some of the remaining blood on his chin. ā€œYou taste like mine.ā€
You whine. More, more, more. Itā€™s all you can think about. You lift an arm weakly. You want to pull him to your neck, to make him drink, to make him fill you with the heaven you had just moments ago.Ā 
He catches your wrist and brings it to his lips, inhaling deeply. His lips split into another grin and you see his eyes spark again with the wildness you crave.Ā 
ā€œNot yet, princess.ā€ he coos. ā€œBut soon.ā€ His smile grows even wider, until those fangs are on full display, until youā€™re trembling again. ā€œForever,ā€ he whispers.

@cherryblossomsenpai is so Inosuke coded.
With everything. The way she eats (she steals food off of everyoneā€™s plate), her mannerisms (she wants to fight everyone like the gremlin she is), she chases Tanjiro, and she bullies Zenitsu.
Sheā€™s just Inosuke. Plain and simple. She is him, and he is her.
