COMMISSIONS!!

Hey all, disappeared for a bit because real life was happening and being busy. Unfortunately I don’t have as much time as I’d like to have for drawing silly little pics of hot buff men. And unfortunately I don’t have time to draw all the lovely requests people have sent in. But, in an attempt to remedy that, I’m going to start doing commissions!!

SFW, NSFW, OC’s, ship stuff, pin-ups, etc, DM if you’re interested! Will probably start at 20$ and go up from there, depending on complexity and color and number of characters and all that. I can also do comics, which would of course cost more too. Feel free to ask any questions you have!

Payments would be via PayPal.

(Im tagging this post with Baki cuz that’s the current fandom I’m in but of course I will draw other stuff)

Begging on my hands and knees, where did you get the Gaia to Sikorsky manga

My sister bought them from eBay

P sure there’s a decent amount of manga reselling on eBay (also fyi these volumes are in Japanese, pretty sure there’s no English volumes available)

Good luck on your manga-finding escapades :)

Dialogue (in fists)

Secret Santa gift fic for @gosht-ov3rthr0ne

Retsu x Male Reader (Muay Thai fighter)

Cannon typical violence, some minor blood, as requested there’s a bit of angst in it :)

Merry Christmas, hope you enjoy! This is my first time writing a x reader fic so I hope it’s ok!

As soon as Retsu sees you, before you can even slide the door to the dojo room closed behind you, he asks “what happened?”

No use hiding it, the limp in your step, the bruises on your face, the cut lip, the blood under your nails. You could have washed up before coming over, you could have scrubbed all the blood off, but that sort of subterfuge would have be all for naught; Retsu was too well versed in the world of fighting to ever miss something like this.

“I just got into a fight,” you say, as his eyes continue to run up and down your body, taking stock. “Don’t worry about it.”

And Retsu looks like he’s about to say something in return but he bites his lip, swallows those words back down. You know what he was going to say, did you win? It’s kind of him not to ask. He can see you just fine, he knows how to assess injuries.

So instead of asking a question, he just says, simply. “You’re injured.”

You’re used to the worry in his voice, but it’s not what you want to hear right now. You’re used to his kindness, but right now the kindness feels like pity. You don’t need pity. You don’t need comfort, or at least not this sort of comfort.

“I’m fine.” You say. “This is nothing.”

And you’re not lying, not really. Nothing is broken, no injury will be permanent. You don’t think anything will scar. It’s not like you lost a leg. You’re fine.

Retsu frowns, and you can see the subtle annoyance in his expression. Maybe you’re being stubborn but so what, you’re a man, you have your pride, any martial artist will act the same way.

“I’m fine.” You repeat, as if that might change his mind. “I’m good to go.”

You are there to spar, after all. A date, or what counts as a date for men like you.

With Retsu being a teacher at and a close friend of the current director of the Shinshinkai, he gets more or less free range of the dojo. And so you can meet him here, after hours, when there’s no one else in the building. Not to keep your relationship secret, per se, but that’s part of it. The other part is that there’s a good chance no karate practitioner would want a Muay Thai practitioner on their home turf like this, so best to meet when no one else is around.

Still, Retsu is frowning, but his expression, the worry, has shifted to something less soft, something more steeled for battle. Good. He shrugs his coat off, and you do too. But as he stands there, chest bare, you keep your shirt on; he doesn’t need to see all the damage. That might make him go easy on you (or easier than he normally does; you’re under no delusion that you’re as powerful as he is). Let him discover the damage later, after sparring, when you’ll both inevitably shed the rest of your clothing.

For now, Retsu takes a stance, feet staggered. You take a stance too; feet closer together, more upright, fists up. For a moment you’re both still, but as soon as you shift your weigh he’s moving. You can barely see his fist but you’ve sparred with him enough that you know what to expect, you just barely block but the force of it shoots up your arms, enough to rattle bones. It hurts. It’ll bruise. It’ll be added to the rest of the bruises that are already well on their way to forming.

You strike back, lightning quick, fist connecting with the solidness of his chest. He’s taken hits much stronger than this so he’s fine, and you’re sparring, exchanging blows, back and forth and back and forth. Featherlight footwork against to dojo floor, movement barely audible. Shortly, you’re both sweating, breathing heavy.

It’s not anger that you feel, it’s more subtle than that. It’s frustration, it’s annoyance, it’s a degree of embarrassment, you got in a fight and you lost and it’s not like the other guy got away unscathed but you got the worst of it. And you’re not going to talk about it, not with Retsu and not with anyone, even if some tiny part of you thinks you should. It’s a barrier between you and others, between you and Retsu. But that’s how life is, for men like you.

Retsu’s foot connects with your side, just under the ribs, and you’re pushed back a step. It hurts, it truly hurts, you’ve already been hit there today, but it’s not bad. If anything, it’s good. You close the distance between the two of you, get close enough so you can knee him in the stomach. It’s a dialogue, it’s a conversation that would never take place out loud. It’s a language you share. And it works. More so than words ever could, or any other type of action could convey, fighting allows for a closeness, an understanding. To most people, it might seem strange, but for the two of you, it’s as to be expected.

With each exchange of blows, your frustration wanes just a bit more. You’re not happy, not quite, not yet, you still lost, bruised your pride, but it’s closer to acceptable now. And maybe it won’t matter. Maybe. You can think about that later. For now, you block a strike, you retaliate. Your already bruised knuckles sting. Retsu’s hands break through your block, grab at the collar of your shirt. You don’t pull away, you don’t move, for a brief moment the two of you are still. Retsu’s dark eyes are alight with passion for fighting, and they bore into you, into your soul, and it sends a shiver up your spine. From this close, you can see his long, thick eyelashes, really appreciate his full lips, watch as a bead of sweat drips down his cheek, jaw, falls to the floor. You smile. A smile breaks across his lips, small, reserved, mischievous yet sweet. He pulls you forwards at the same time as you step towards him, your lips meeting his.

It’s not gentle, not even close, but that’s intentional. You know Retsu doesn’t have a lot of experience but neither do you, and who cares how a kiss is supposed to be; this is perfect. It’s Retsu’s hands gripping your shirt, tight enough for the fabric to rip. Its teeth accidentally hitting teeth, a faint taste of blood. It’s your hands at the nape of his neck, the few short, stray hairs that escape his braid soft under your fingers. It’s hot breath, it’s difficult to breathe, it’s the smell of sweat and the searing heat of skin on skin and it’s violence, in a way, and it’s sparring, in a way, and it’s a date.

You both end up on the floor, it’s not grappling but it’s similar, it’s not fighting for dominance, it’s just the closeness. After a minute you’re on your back, you’re still kissing. Retsu’s hand are still on your shirt but now on the bottom hem, pushing it up, over your toned stomach. To reveal bruises, cuts and scrapes, and Retsu doesn’t expressly make a show of noticing, but he does notice.

He’ll ask, when you’re done here, if he can treat your wounds to whatever degree is necessary. And you’ll say yes, of course you will, you would truly never rebuke his kindness. You will, inwardly, appreciate the gentleness of his hands.

But for now you let him take off your shirt, hands now on your skin. The contact is searing hot, delicious, and somehow cooling comfort on your wounds. Fingers trace up your sides, to rest on your chest, knead at the thick, taut muscle. You wind your arms around Retsu’s shoulders, pull him closer, closer, closer. Any closer and you’ll inhabit the same space. Good. You need the contact, the intimacy; the more skin on skin, the easier it is to communicate.

You slide your hands down, push down the waistband of Retsu’s pants. Just a few inches. You feel him smile into the kiss, let out a soft laugh directly into your mouth. So you push father, and Retsu’s hands unbuckle your belt quicker than should be possible.

“Someone doesn’t have much patience.” You say, grinning.

“I could say the same about you.” He replies.

“And what of it?” You roll your hips, up against him, delicious contact.

“Nothing. Nothing at all.”

And you re-instigate the kiss, eliminate the need and possibility for talking. An action is worth a thousand words, or however that saying really goes. There’s nothing you or Retsu could say that conveys anything as well as skin on skin, fists on fists, physical violence of physical intimacy. That’s how it is, for men like you. And that’s fine. If you could change it, you likely wouldn’t. It’s fine. It has to be.
