Feb 14: An Early White Day

Happy Valentines Day Lovelies! @enchantedforest-network held an event for the residents of the forest. This piece is a gift for @h8ani. Happy Valentines Day love!

Synopsis: You and Rindou Haitani are close. He wants to repay you for all your Time, Love and Tenderness after all these years.

CW: penetrative sex, foreplay, sensory deprivation, choking, squirting, creampie, AFAB!Reader

A/N: This piece is written with @h8ani in mind but everyone can enjoy it!

For anyone else he was someone to fear, but when he was with you… Well to say that the younger Haitani was a different person. He was sweet and compassionate with you. To say that it took several years of just being friends with him to be able to see that side of him, would be an understatement. 

Rindou is fully aware of how much you like him. You were always close to him when you hung out, even if Ran or Kakucho were there. And soon the two of you were having dinners together. Then came going to the movies, shopping, and clubs together. The soft side of Rindou Haitani came through and you were falling harder. Years of Friday night dinners, weekends of going on the town, and nightly sleep overs cause your feelings to grow. Rindou feels it too, it’s been a long time coming on his end. He adores you and the things you do together. He loves that you are always there for him and he loves being there for you after a long day. He’s fallen for your giggle when he pokes your nose and the way that you fit against him when he holds you while the two of you sleep. Rindou loves that you put so much love into the meals you make to share with him. He loves the blush you get when he gets really close, almost lip to lip.

Now, Rindou is a fairly popular guy. That comes with the territory of being an executive in the most influential dangerous organization in Tokyo. Women throw themselves at him all the time, allured in by his status as a member of Bonten. He’s at a point where he retches every time one of these women confesses to him, they aren’t even on the same level as his princess. “Like I’d want a nasty groupie like you,” he spits. The woman's jaw drops as the mullet donning Haitani discards her feelings like a used tissue. His demeanor changes when you enter the club. Rindou pushes past the woman who is trying to recover from his rejection. The other women who were near the Bonten VIP area were all stunned. Soon they turn back to the other execs enjoying the perks of owning a club.“Hey princess. Looking stunning as usual,” he smiles, pulling you close as he greets you. “Let’s get out of here.” 

Normally, meeting him at the club means hours of dancing and drinks. Not this time.This time Rindou has other plans. He escorts you like a gentleman; arm around your waist, keeping you on his right side, fingers gently digging into the plush of your right hip. “Rin, where are we going?” you ask. Of all the things that Rindou is known for, structure and schedules hasn't really been on that list. And you knew that. You knew that he liked to do things randomly on occasion but he did usually give you a rough idea of what was gonna happen on your escapades. “Trust me,” He whispers, leaving a soft kiss on your hair.  He guides you down the sidewalk to this nice looking restaurant. The facade had roman style pillars and some strange looking kanji on the sign. “Rin, this place is too nice,” You breathe. The lighting was low and romantic. There was soft music from a harp, piano, and violin. Tables are decorated with roses, hearts, and chocolates. There was heat coursing through your veins. It felt a little shocking as dinners together didn’t really come across as romantic dinners. Maybe it was that you usually were cooking for the two of you in one of your apartments.

“No place is too nice for my princess,” He pulls out your seat and nods at the host. Servers bring out a nice dinner, all your favorites made with lavish and fancy ingredients. A server pops open a bottle of champagne and pours two glasses before putting it back on ice. “Seriously, what is this?” you ask, sipping the sweet bubbling drink that was set in front of you.

“Think of it as an early White Day gift,” he smiles. “You deserve to be treated to a nice dinner out after all the nice meals you make us.” Together you enjoy the meal. When the plates are cleared and the drinks finished, Rindous' car is brought around and the two of you head back to his apartment. He bridal carries you into the abode and takes you straight to his bedroom.

Stepping into the room, the lights are low. There are flower petals on the bed and the sheets were a deep purple silk. “Rin…” you breathe, almost dumb founded at the sight before you. “Do you trust me, princess?” he asks, leaning close, lips ghosting over the shell of your ear. His breath is warm and he places a kiss on your neck. 

“Y-yes,” you moan softly. Your hands press against his chest. You close your eyes and lean in to give him a kiss, but are denied. The feel of something soft and silky covers your face. “Rin?” “Yes, princess?” he smirks, the shape of his mouth changing the tone of his voice. “Blind fold?” “That it is,” he smooths your hair. “Still trust me?” 

You nod. You feel his hands on your back, pulling the zipper of your dress down. The sparkling fabric falling from your body, revealing your soft bare skin. Rindou hisses as he eyes your body. “No undergarments? Such a naughty princess,” he pulls you by your waist and tosses you on the bed. His hands give your feather touches as they map the swell of your breasts and commit the topography of your pussy lips to his memory.

“Aah! Rindou! What…” you gasp, hips raising to grind against his hand. “What are you…”

“Repaying you all the love that you’ve shown me for all these years” he mumbles as he leaves open mouthed kisses on your lower belly and at the apex of your arousal. His tongue swirls patterns over the sensitive skin. His fingers lightly graze over your belly and you go to grip at his hair. “No,” he moans, pulling away to tie your hands up above your head with a silk scarf. The restriction of movement makes you whimper.

“You okay?” he asks quietly, nipping at your ear lobe. His thumb gently caresses your cheek. He drinks in your vulnerability. His thoughts drift to how pretty you look all tied up and blindfolded. The other hand gently nestles between your plush thighs, teasing your swollen clit.

“Y-yeah,” you breathe. “I’m okay. Feels good,” you take slow deep breaths. “Why all the attention suddenly?”

“Because I love you, dummy.” He has wanted this more than anything for sometime now. His will power has been waning each night you’re next to him. 

“Rindou, I-” your heart flutters. His finger presses to your lips, preventing your confession. “Do you trust me?” His lavender eyes meet yours. “Yes,” you are feeling impatient. The sensations continue to grow stronger and the heat that was flowing through you during dinner is now pooling in your core. This is what you wanted… what you had been dreaming of for so long. Especially after all these nights of just sleeping next to him and the occasional cuddle.

Then his hand gently closes around your neck, applying slight pressure right under both sides of your jaw. Your back arches as your senses start to go wild. You can hear his breath and the tiny fluctuations as he becomes more and more aroused by your reactions. 

His grip tightens ever so slightly as his free hand takes a flower petal and lightly drags it down to your apex. His fingers drag through your folds, gathering your slick as he rubs slow but tight circles over your delicate clit. Rindou knows exactly how to make you squirm. He’s seen the content you consume while you lay next to him in the mornings. “So wet and I haven't even been inside you,” he keens as your whimpers get louder. “My needy princess,” he leans over and wraps his lips around your pebbled nipple. 

“Rindou!” you gasp and his grip tightens again. You knee him in the thigh furiously, eyes wide as you try to think of something ridiculous to say. “Rin, polka-dots! Polka-dots!” He snaps back to reality and his grip loosens completely. “Sorry baby, did I go too tight?” He asks, softly stroking your hair. “Blindfold and hands okay?”

You nod, taking some deep breaths. “Yeah, those are fine. Thank you.” He resumes teasing you to the edge. Again and again, he edges you until you beg him to let you cum. “Please Rin, wanna cum.” 

“Not yet,” he keens. You feel him spread your legs, pulling you so that your hips are flush to his. He ruts against you, his cock dragging through your folds as he grunts. “Fuck, you’re so fucking wet f’me,” he slides deep into your pussy, bottoming out as you moan his name loudly. Hours pass. You lose track of how many times you came for him. “So close princess, got one more f’me, yeah?” He leans down, trailing kisses from your mouth to your nipple, peppering in little bites along the way. His thrusts are getting sloppier, breaths more ragged. “Rindou!!” You scream as your pussy squirts and he cums. Thick ropes of cum bury themselves deep inside your wanton walls. 

“Mine,” he growls, kissing you deeply as your walls milk him dry. Breaths come back under control, noses rub against one another, fingers lace together.  He holds you close. “My princess,” he murmurs against your hair. “I love you, Happy Valentine's Day.” A soft blush kisses your cheeks as the heat slowly fades from your system. “I love you too. Happy Valentine’s Day”

spring's temptation

Three times Kisaki Tetta attempts to confess to you, and one time it works…a little too well. -> 5,211 words. gn!reader (reader wears heels to a party), fluff, mutual pining, slow burn, texting, college universe/au, hankisa-centric, mentions of throuples/polyamory. pet names ("pretty girl", "doll") -> a/n: love a good slow burn moment. this is VERY very selfship coded...this may or may not have been modeled off of a text convo my partner and i have had in the past...whose to say! no smut/nsfw this go around, just good old fluffy slow burn. my entry into the enchanted forest network's spring feelings collab!

INSTANCE #1: March 21st, 2005

Your eyes crack open to the sound of a lone mourning dove, cooing as it takes its place on a telephone wire, nestling next to its companion in the bright morning sun. It’s…warm. Warmer than it’s been the past few days. There’s a peek of pink and green from behind your curtains, asking to be let inside.

Your bed is soft, but with a groan, you arise, slamming your alarm off by smacking your phone screen and rubbing at your eyes. The smell of breakfast creeps into your nostrils as you get dressed, and a ping from your phone catches your attention as you check the screen.

Shuji <3

Ready yet, doll? We’re here.

Sure enough, two sets of bike tires faintly squeak against the asphalt, Shuji’s high-pitched giggle echoing through your now-open window that you release the lock on, pushing the curtains aside. Your two boys are down at the edge of the fence, Shuji pocketing his phone and looking up at you with a massive smile. His companion doesn’t make eye contact with you, fiddling with his shirt instead, his glasses slowly sliding down his nose.

Kisaki.

You wave at them both, a grin to match Shuji spreading across your face. “Be down in a minute!” you call to him, and he nods, elbowing Kisaki to look up at you. He complies, begrudgingly, a blush flushing his cheeks as he looks up at you. He waves at you, and you cheekily blow a kiss at him, to which he flushes an even deeper scarlet and looks away. Shuji’s laugh echoes in your ears as you shut your window, making your way downstairs.

Your mother greets you quickly, making sure you have everything you need, before pressing a kiss to your cheek as you leave the house, bounding down the stairs and grabbing your own pink and blue bike to join the boys.

“There’s my pretty girl,” you hear Shuji say, walking up to you and leaning down to press a kiss to your temple, pushing your hair behind your ear. You giggle at it, your face a little warm as you take a sniff of the surrounding air. It’s spring, all right; there’s the scent of freshly cut grass, the sharpness of Shuji’s cigarettes, and the clean linen scent of Kisaki’s laundry detergent hanging in the air around you.

Speaking of, the boy in question seemed to be hanging back today. You peer around Hanma to take a look at Kisaki, who almost looks like he’s pouting. “What’s up, Tetta? Need some attention?” you coo at him, and he snorts, rolling his eyes. “Jesus, don’t treat me like a baby,” he says in a low voice, but you can’t help walking the two steps over to him and giving him a hug. His arms don’t wrap around your own, but you can feel his heart absolutely racing against you.

Hmm. Weird.

Hopping on your bikes, you make your way to the bakery around the corner for some fluffy confections. Your mother has always waggled her finger at you for doing so, complaining that you’re going to rot your teeth before you’re twenty-five, but you simply laugh and take a massive bite out of whatever pastry your eyes were set on that day.

Today, it’s blueberry scones.

They’re fresh, the daily special, the scent of warm bread and blueberry drifting through the air as you three pull up to the storefront, hooking your bikes up before wandering in. Hanma takes his place right behind you, a large hand splayed across the small of your back, with Kisaki next to you. Your arms brush every so often, and you can almost feel a flinch.

Mega-weird.

The woman behind the counter gives you a soft smile when she hands you your bag of treats, and you return it before exiting with the two boys following you closely. The breeze that hits you as soon as you walk out is ethereal, like that first sight of a daffodil peeking out from the snow, or seeing the suggestion of cherry blossom bulbs beginning their push through the trees’ branches.

“Wish it could be like this forever,” you whisper, and Hanma moves in front of you, his face so close to your own with a massive grin on his lips, giving you a wink before moving to his bike. You turn to look at Kisaki, who has obediently stayed back behind you and Hanma during the exit, but seems to not know what to do now, looking down at his feet.

“Right, Tetta?”

You saying his first name causes his head to jerk up, before he scrunches his nose. “I guess,” he says slowly, his words heavy. You roll your eyes, grabbing his shoulder with one of your hands, the other occupied with the bag as you flash him a smile, to attempt to get him to give one back to you. It almost works; you can see the hint of one tugging at his face.

His mouth opens.

“Yeah. I wish it could, but maybe it’s a good thing that it won’t.”

Huh?

He says nothing more, moving to his bike to unhook it, Hanma already ready to go. “Come on, doll, you’re gonna make us late!” he shouts, and you huff, placing the bag on your bike’s carrier in front before mounting it yourself. You three make it to campus with plenty of time, Hanma’s claim of being late a far cry from the truth as always; he never failed to be the most dramatic of you three.

What Kisaki said somehow still weighs on you, and not even the still-warm blueberry scone in your hands can dispel the peculiar sense that weighs in your chest.

Shuji <3 [5:32 PM]

Hey doll you seen Kisaki anywhere

You [5:34 PM]

Shuji <3 [5:40 PM]

INSTANCE #2: April 10th, 2010

Five years, and now you’re head of the garden club at school as a freshman in college. Of course, Hanma and Kisaki both made it into the same university, and you’ve all been enjoying freshman year with everything you have. You’ve both grown closer over the years, naturally; but that feeling you had with Kisaki all those years ago has since festered. You’ve pushed it away, consistently, but it never fails to linger. Hanma doesn’t notice, or is ignoring it, and frankly, you’re relieved about that. The last thing you want is him jumping down your throat about it.

You wander through the rows of colors, letting your hand drift across all of the soft petals as you approach the small outhouse, grabbing one of the straw hats left for the volunteers. You wrap an apron around you as well, tugging gloves on before you hear a cough behind you.

You almost jump six feet in the air as you whip around and come to face—

“My God, Tetta,” you say, exasperated, your hand on your chest in mock surprise, “don’t scare me like that! You could’ve just asked to come with me today, you know.”

There’s a hint of blush on Kisaki’s cheeks as he pulls the books in his arms closer to him with a tch and a roll of his eyes. “I guess, but it’s a public garden,” he points out, the know-it-all in him becoming even more loud, “anyone can come in and out. You should expect visitors.”

He’s right, he’s always right.

You wave him off anyway, handing him some gloves and a trowel. “Well, since you’re here, I’ll put you to work. I’ve got some flowers to plant where the pansies died last year, and I’ve dug them up already, so I’ll need your keen eye to know if I’m planting them correctly.” The sentiment in your voice is clearly not lost on him, as he all but throws his books into the outhouse next to your bags and tugs on the gloves, following you like a puppy as you move through the rows, landing on an empty bed with fresh soil.

It’s quiet, the activity; he pulls the flowers out of the store-bought plastic containers, and you tuck them into their new place, patting them once as you go to make sure they’re solidly planted into the soil. The bed becomes a flush of color as you both make quick work of it, with reds and yellows and purples exploding across the empty space.

There’s a problem plant that Kisaki ends up dealing with, whose roots have made it almost impossible to pull out. He’s been struggling for a few moments now, continuously trying to get it out and then reverting to another sprout and returning to the stuck plant after. Seeing his frustration caked with dirt on his face makes your chest flutter just a little bit as you reach over—

Your hands make contact, and even through the gloves, you feel a spark.

Your hand moves back unconsciously, almost yanking it to your chest as you play it off with a laugh, but Kisaki’s eyes go wide as he looks at you. There’s a beat of nothing, before he nervously laughs with you. “Must have some static electricity,” you say, attempting to smoothen out the awkwardness as you reach for the plant again, “but let me.”

He hands it to you, and you slip it out as easily as if it were never stuck at all, his jaw dropping and eyebrows scrunching in anger. “Well,” he begins, and he stutters as you look at him with an eyebrow raised, patting the problem child into the dirt, “I-uh-I just loosened it for you. Obviously.”

“Obviously,” you repeat back to him, but there’s no malice in your voice. The blush on his cheeks is even more red as he looks away from you, grabbing the next flower to remove from the pot, refusing to say more.

The sun is still high in the sky when you finish the bed, and it looks gorgeous as you sit in front of it, sharing water with Kisaki. His hands freed from the gloves, he reaches out to brush against the petal of a snapdragon, the cherry red contrasting nicely with his emerging tanned skin.

“Antirrhinum.”

You don’t miss a beat. “Bless you?”

He laughs, then, a genuine laugh that you hadn’t heard in a while. His mood around you hadn’t gotten worse, but it hadn’t gotten better, either, since that day at the bakery. You still don’t know why he’d been acting so weirdly, why he said that he wished things would change; it had been five years, you’d think you’d know by now. Why did he think that? Were you and Hanma not enough for him after so long? Did something happen at home? Did—

“It’s the genus that snapdragons are from. It’s ‘cause they look like dragons when you squeeze them. They’re actually not compatible with themselves, a lot of the time. They can’t self-pollinate.”

You nod, humming. “Sure know a lot about plants, huh?”

Kisaki’s face couldn’t be redder or he’d look like a tomato. “Yeah. One of the weird things I like to study, I guess.”

You’re not sure what prompts you to move, but you do, so your hand is covering his own. Skin touching skin, the spark isn’t there, but there is an odd sense of warmth. The peculiar sense comes back again, one that you can’t put your finger on. It’s not weird or wrong, just…odd. Nevertheless, you don’t move away, and he doesn’t either. Your eyes meet, and it’s like time is suddenly frozen, waiting for a choice to be made. You can’t help but flicker down to his lips and back up, and you can tell he’s noticed as his white teeth appear to bite down on his bottom lip gently.

You cough, moving away, going to remove your hand. “Sorry.”

He shakes his head, gripping onto your hand so you can’t remove it. “Don’t be. We’re friends, right?”

The smile he gives you doesn’t reach his eyes.

There’s the peculiar feeling again, tightening your chest.

Shuji <3 [9:26 PM]

Alright, doll, enough fuckin around.

You [9:26 PM]

huh????

Shuji <3 [9:27 PM]

You invited Kisaki to do the stupid garden shit with you and not me? :(

You [9:27 PM]

Shuji <3 [10:08 PM]

Shuji <3 [10:10 PM]

You [10:11 PM]

Shuji <3 [10:20 PM]

You [10:21 PM]

Shuji <3 [ 10:50 PM]

INSTANCE #3: MAY 15th, 2013

“Kisaki!” you slur, your drink sloshing in its container as you stumble your way over to him. Hanma is behind you, one of his large hands keeping you steady as he meanders over with you, a matching grin on his own face as you both adventure over to your third, who is currently sitting at the bar nursing his only beer of the evening, scowling.

“What’s got ya so bummed out, huh?” Hanma asks, resting one hand on the bar and the other on your shoulder as you slide in front of him, between the two men, your eyes sparkling as you look up at Kisaki. His glasses are new, clear frames that make him look more mature. He’s forgone the buzzcut he used to have, instead opting for an undercut. No more dyed hair, either, at least not at the level he used to have. The highlights are more exact, a barber having done them rather than a fourteen-year-old rebellious boy.

He looks good. Too good.

Hanma has also changed quite a lot, although not to you. To you, he’s still the possessive boyfriend he’s always been, goofy and laughing and never taking anything seriously. He’s also opted for shorter styled hair, being much less ridiculous than his “skunk haircut” that you forever teased him about. However, he has a look that he gives Kisaki, one that you either hadn’t picked up on before or that you simply hadn’t noticed…

It looks like yearning.

Kisaki takes a sip from his beer before looking at Hanma. “You know this stuff isn’t really my style,” he drawls, a finger circling the rim of his glass, “I’d much rather be at home, honestly. Reading a book sounds like a much better use of my time.”

You clap your hand on him, ignoring the flash of shock in Kisaki’s eyes. “Come on, Tetta,” you whine, “life isn’t just about books. It’s all out here! Waiting for you to explore!” You brandish your arms around you, gesturing at the bar’s dance floor, crammed with sweaty bodies and solo cups and tongues inside of wet mouths, filthy noises barely being dulled by the horrifically loud bass echoing around the room.

Luckily, where you three are, it’s relatively quieter. Sofas line some of the walls. There’s a girl grinding on her choice for the night, her cherry red lips leaving faint marks on his cheeks as they kiss sloppily. There’s a hint of drool on his chin as his hands move to grab onto her hips, moving her gently against him, grinding her down onto whatever is hiding in his pants.

You tear your eyes away, only to see both Hanma and Kisaki staring at you. “What?” you exclaim, shrugging your shoulders, but the alcohol has a grip on you now. You need someone to touch you, and whether it’s Kisaki or Hanma, it seems to not matter to your horny brain. Your skin feels like it’s on fire with every moment that passes.

Your logical brain, however, goes for Hanma, due to the fact that he’s your partner, your lips brushing against his neck. “Kinda wanna go home,” you whisper against his sweaty skin, and you feel his throat rumble as he laughs, pulling you close to him. “Sorry, doll, this is my party,” he says, “but lucky for you, I have a good friend willing to take you home, since he wants to go so badly.”

You look over at Kisaki, who looks like he’s staring daggers at Hanma. There’s a beat of silence between them, tension hanging in the air so thick that you could cut it with a knife, when Kisaki sighs, finishing his beer and extending his hand. “M’lady,” he says, a smile on his face, and you follow him happily, planting a kiss on Hanma’s lips before you go. “I’ll let you know when I’m home,” you shout back, and he nods, lifting the glass at you and blowing you an air kiss.

The walk home is slow as you stumble, eventually ripping off your heels and choosing to walk in your bare feet. Kisaki doesn’t notice, moving a few paces ahead of you. Once he realizes you’re no longer right next to him, he looks back at you, and then at your feet, and—

“Jesus, why are you walking barefoot? Come here.”

You don’t get a chance to say anything before he’s picking you up, slogging you onto his back in a forced piggyback ride. Your heels thud lightly against his chest with every step he takes. “D’you work out or somethin’?” you slur, your cheek resting against his shoulder, your breath on his neck. He nods, effortlessly huffing as he adjusts you without you even doing anything, a squeak falling from your lips. “Tetta!” you exclaim, giggling, and you can feel his smile without even seeing it.

“I work out so I can make sure someone as pretty as you gets home safe without a scratch.”

Pretty. “Pretty,” you say slowly, weighing it on your tongue, “I s’pose I am. Thas’ a weird thing to say about your friend, you know.”

You’d always joked with Kisaki that you were just friends. Sure, he got touchy when he was drunk, and he did do things for you that felt boyfriend-level, but it was nothing serious. Hanma was always there, anyway, clearly the boyfriend in charge with his loud voice and raucous laugh taking up the space that Kisaki himself left for him. They’d been good to you, both of them; they’d always been good to you.

Your apartment appeared much faster than you wanted it to, having felt so content being carried by Kisaki that when he set you down in your entryway, you almost collapsed to the ground. You giggle at the mistake, picking yourself back up and dusting yourself off, before looking up at him.

You’d have thought he’d been looking at the stars with the way he looked at you in such fascination. You ignore it. You have to ignore it, because you can feel that peculiar feeling rearing its head again. It had been years since you’d felt it, so why now? What about right now, other than the alcohol flooding your veins, made you feel like this?

“Thanks for, uh, for gettin’ me home,” you say, breaking the silence and picking up your heels and going to move further into your apartment, but a hand lands on your arm. There’s a plea in Kisaki’s eyes when you meet them, but it’s gone before you fully realize it.

“You’re welcome,” he chooses to say instead, “make sure you drink some water.”

He disappears before you can respond, the door clicking shut behind him.

When the refreshing water hits you, after you meander into the kitchen and fill a glass, the realization does too.

The peculiar feeling, the feeling you’ve felt every time you come into contact with Kisaki. The feeling you had all those years ago when he’d mentioned how he wanted things to change. The spark between you two that felt so much more than just static electricity jumping from one’s skin to the other. The fact that he took time out of his day to come help you at the flower gardens (which you never questioned, either, oddly enough).

It all pointed to one thing, one staggeringly shocking revelation that you almost can’t fathom as you slide onto the linoleum floor.

You were in love with Kisaki.

Kisaki was in love with you.

And you, despite your best efforts, were in love with Kisaki and Hanma.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

INSTANCE #4: MAY 31st, 2013

Having your boyfriend know that you’re in love with his best friend and also having the realization that he is also in love with your best friend is, frankly, a best case scenario for the ridiculously comical love triangle that you find yourself in now.

Neither of you have said anything to Kisaki, of course. It’s been a few weeks since the party, and you’ve both concocted a plan together; to drop hints and see how long it takes Kisaki to realize what’s going on. Given his innate ability to read people, you both bet that it’ll take him a week at best.

A week stretches into two, then three. Consistent touches are met with a smile but nothing more, helping out around his apartment gets a “thank you”, but he’s not giving either of you any room to move further or even bring up a discussion. It’s a bit ridiculous, actually, and while you know Hanma can last forever when it comes to a good slow burn (particularly if it involves Kisaki), you do not have the same patience.

It’s a wine night after you finish your junior year of university when it all comes out.

You three are piled up on the couch, and you unstick yourself to move into the kitchen, sighing as you pour another glass of wine. There’s a sound of shuffling, before you see Kisaki enter the kitchen with you, pouring his own glass. “It’s good, right?” you say, swirling your glass up to the light in mock analysis as he grins, the wine flushing his cheeks a sweet pink.

“Sure is,” he says, and the silence that fills the space after is…a little awkward.

“Say, I wanted to thank you for, you know, not making things weird.”

Your gaze moves from the glass to his face, and with the drunken flush on his cheeks it looks like he’s finally grasped onto a string of bravery.

“Weird about what?”

There’s a clink as his glass lands on the countertop. “Calling you pretty. Was just a slip of the tongue, I’m sorry. That wasn’t right.”

“Ever the example of honesty, I see,” you joke, sitting on the countertop with the glass. You can hear the TV in the living room slightly lowering its volume, and you know for a fact Shuji is listening in. Why wouldn’t he? The look you gave him after you left the room, the wink he’d tossed your way, he knows what’s going on.

Kisaki swallows so harshly that you’d think he was attempting to swallow an apple whole. He looks as if he’s debating on what to say, how to respond to that, because you know he’s not being truthful. He doesn’t know that you know, though.

Luckily, you don’t have to wait long, because he takes a deep breath, and out it comes.

“I’m tired of pretending that I’m not into you. It’s a lie, it’s a massive lie that’s been poisoning me for years and I am so exhausted with pretending that I don’t feel something for you.”

You stare at him in mock shock, trying your best not to laugh.

He immediately backtracks, his hand brushing against the back of his neck. “Fuck,” he whispers, “fuck, I’m sorry, now I made it weird, I know you’re with Shuji and I shouldn’t have said anything, I know, I—”

“God, Tetta, shut the fuck up for once,” you finally say, snapping. The resistance that you’ve held the past couple weeks has suddenly crumbled, watching him stumble over his words and ignore the love he has for you based on…what? Your commitment to Shuji? You’re basically a throuple anyway, it’s like he’s been blind to it all. Blind to the love that you and Shuji have for him.

He looks at you with real shock, and you roll your eyes, tugging on his shirt to bring you closer to you, slotting between your legs. “Shut up,” you repeat against his lips, and you crush yours against his own.

He’s speechless, unmoving, like a statue as you kiss him, slowly, gently attempting to unravel his nerves that are bubbling underneath his skin. Slowly, he softens in your hands, meeting the motions you’re giving him. He cups your cheek and tilts your head and his tongue slides in, skating across your teeth. You let out a soft moan into his mouth, but he doesn’t stop. The restraint is off, disappeared, dissolved in the space between you two.

He’s shuddering against you, like he can’t believe he’s doing this, but like he’s so excited to finally kiss you and break through whatever mental block he’s put up. He’s panting against you, red-bitten lips pounding as he looks at you. There’s so many emotions in his eyes; betrayal, shame, lust, excitement, all colliding in a wild kaleidoscope.

“Sorry.”

His voice is raspy, and he goes to move away, but you lock your legs behind him so he can’t move. He stiffens, looking back at you with surprise as you lean back, your palms flat on the countertop as you roll your eyes. “Tetta,” you respond, in a sing-song voice, “don’t apologize. I liked it.”

“But Shuji—”

“Are you stupid?”

He slowly blinks in confusion. “M-Maybe?” he stutters, alarm in his voice, and you giggle.

“You know he likes you too, right?”

There’s a snort that breaks the air, and Kisaki’s head all but whips to the kitchen entrance as he looks at his newly-emerged friend, brushing his long fingers through his black and blonde locks, grinning.

“Silly Tetta,” he teases, walking up to you two, “silly, silly Tetta. How are you so goddamn analytical but you can’t tell when both of your friends are in love with you? Fucking idiot.”

If Kisaki could get any redder, he’d be morphing into a tomato as he looks down at your lap, suddenly incredibly embarrassed. “I-I don’t know what to say,” he finally confesses, and you cup his cheek in the same way he did to you moments ago, pushing his face to look at you. “You don’t have to do anything right now,” you say to him softly, “but I would like to snuggle some more with you both, if that’s okay.”

Shuji laughs, swinging an arm around Kisaki and dragging him back into the living room. “C’mon, love,” he calls behind him, and you follow, bringing the wine glasses and placing them on the coffee table as you collapse onto the couch with Shuji’s head on your shoulder, Kisaki’s on your lap. Your hand falls into Kisaki’s hair as the other removes his glasses, and he hums, shockingly fine with the way events are progressing given his embarrassment earlier.

“Just me and my boys,” you giggle, and Shuji can’t help but laugh, pressing a kiss to your cheek. Kisaki joins him, brave again, kissing your other cheek.

Your face hurts by the end of the night, having the two men you love more than anyone draped over you. It’s more than you could ever ask for.

Would main storyline Laoft have gone differently had Remus not been sent on his quest?

we discussed this several years ago and i generally landed that Durant wouldn't have died. Even as angry as she was, Greta wouldnt have bulldozed through Remus to get to him, and Remus - who does not have a family, or even really friends, a support network of any kind - at that point in the timeline would have absolutely died trying to save him.

So that leaves the protagonists (if we count remus as a protagonist for these purposes) at odds - Remus wants Durant to stay alive, and has convinced himself that Roman being a traitor will mean Remus is his favorite again, and that saving Durant will make Durant finally permanently Happy With Him

LAM and basically everyone else want both of them either executed or banished if execution cant be swung

And Roman and Bell, alone against the world, the only people who are desperately trying to get Remus away from Durant

i have a feeling there is maybe a sliver of chance Durant gets redeemed by this, but he would be banished either way. the question is whether he leaves remorseful or not, and whether or not remus goes with him

all sorts of options. maybe remus goes and comes back years later with a you-were-right. maybe he never does. maybe they convince him to stay at the last second and we see Durant on the edge of the enchanted forest realizing he's completely and utterly alone.

Xerneas and Yveltal are Fungi: Let Me Explain...

Source: Bulbapedia, Wikipedia, Bulbapedia, Enchanted Nature

Xerneas and Yveltal are my favorite legendary designs. There's something weirdly alien about these bio-luminescent approximations of fauna, like they're trying to look like animals and failing. I've always thought they looked a little bit...fungal.

Xerneas and Yveltal are like batteries. They're life energy brokers; Xerneas distributes life, while Yveltal drains it. Supporting and draining life is one of the main characteristics of fungi. In fact, it's like their whole thing.

Some fungi have a mutualistic relationship with their hosts, where they actually benefit their health. And in general, fungi are essential to supporting the ecosystem. Then there's fungi that are simply parasitic.

Fungi can also go dormant, as well as their spores. Staying still is their thing, just chilling in dark places. Xerneas and Yveltal's dormant forms are especially weird, showing just how anomalous these creatures are.

Now allow me to lichen fauna to fungi.

Sources: Bulbapedia, New Forest Pics, Wikipedia, Mushroom Diary Blog

This is xylaria hypoxylon, also known as Stag's Horn fungus. (Not to be confused with Yellow Staghorn.) It reminds me a lot of the dormant form of Xerneas, or the "deactivated" form it takes in the PC.

Stag's Horn is also bio-luminscent, which means the tips of the fungus faintly glow - much like the tips of Xerneas's antlers.

Speaking of the first legendary Fairy Pokemon, mushrooms are often associated with fairies. Fairy Rings are circles of mushrooms that are connected by mycelium underneath. (I'll get into mycelium in just a second.) There are too many myths about Fairy Rings to get into here, so for now I'll just point out the Fairy Ring around Valerie's Gym in Laverre City.

Sources: Bulbapedia, Sussex Wildlife Trust, Enchanted Nature, UK Wildlife

I'm not sure whether Bulbapedia or Dr. King on Pokemon Amino first likened Yveltal to Devil's Fingers, but the similarities are uncanny. Like Yveltal emerges from its cocoon, Devil's Fingers emerge from what is called their "egg stage". I tried to find the least unsettling picture of this that I could. Enjoy...?

I mean, what kind of bird turns into a cocoon, anyway? Honestly though, fungus isn't supposed to hatch from an egg either, so this is all mixed up.

Okay, so Xerneas and Yveltal are based on different aspects of Yggdrasil. But if you were going to design Pokemon based on Yggdrasil, the World Tree that connects the universe, wouldn't you base it on fungi rather than an actual tree? Mycelium can actually partner with the roots of plants and other fungus to create a widespread beneficial mycorrhizal network, a truly interconnected ecosystem of organisms.

Source: BBC News - How Trees Secretly Talk to Each Other

And that's why Xerneas and Yveltal are fungi. Or it could be part of their inspiration, at least. They're not necessarily inspired by these specific fungi, but I think the concept may be part of their design. Either way, Gen VI is especially fun to research!

Psigaric – Small plant, neutral

Fey beings tend to grumble when psigaric mycelium encroaches on their enchanted groves and glades. These mycelial networks are host to countless intermingling psyches, fungal entities that are so alien as to be incomprehensible. In truth, psigarics prefer not to interact with the fey either. They spend their days in dreamlike reverie, exploring realms of emotion and imagination while floating about as ethereal mist inside their fungal homes. They can, however, manifest physically, emerging from their mycelium to poke and prod at the three-dimensional world. When they do, they love to mimic the strange characters they encounter, though none would ever mistake a psigaric for a typical forest creature.

JAPAN TRIP - DAYS 20 & 21

We spent the weekend exploring the enchanting city of Kyoto, and I must say, it completely captured my heart 💖 The beauty of this place is simply captivating, and the people here are incredibly kind. Kyoto is adorned with numerous stunning shrines, and we had the opportunity to visit a few of them. One of the highlights was Kifune-jinja Shrine (貴船神社), a serene and picturesque spot. Another remarkable visit was Kamigamo-jinja Shrine (上賀茂神社), which left us in awe of its grandeur. However, it was Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine (伏見稲荷) that truly stood out. This important Shinto shrine, located in southern Kyoto, is renowned for its vast array of vermilion torii gates, stretching across a network of trails behind the main buildings. These trails lead into the mystical forest of sacred Mount Inari, rising 233 meters above the shrine grounds! The sight was truly mesmerizing, and we felt a deep sense of reverence as we explored this sacred place 💖 Kyoto has left an indelible impression on me, with its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking scenery. It's a place that I will always hold dear in my heart 💕

Now, we're heading back to Tokyo. Our journey leads us back to the Aman hotel, where we will rest and prepare for what lies ahead. Unfortunately, the upcoming day poses a challenge as I am scheduled for surgery at the hospital I was hospitalised at two weeks ago. After receiving a call from my doctor regarding the results, it became clear that this step is necessary. I won't lie, I'm a little concerned 😢

Beneath The Cherry Blossoms

A/N: My entry for the @enchantedforest-network Spring Feelings Event. Dividers by @benkeibear.

Synopsis: Ah, spring at last. The sakura are in full bloom and your friend (and crush) wants to go have a picnic under the sakura in a secret spot.

CW/TW: Kisses, hand holding, SFW, Chigiri x AFAB!Reader, nicknames (princess, honey),

Spring Feelings Master List

Spring has sprung. All the flowers are in bloom, making the neighborhood smell amazing even if your allergies are in full effect. The sun is up and you feel alright. You’ve taken your medication and it’s kicked in so the day is gonna be good. A familiar chime of your phone makes your heart flutter. It's Chigiri, your best guy friend (and current crush). CH: Hey princess! I have the day off. Wanna go out for a hanami picnic?

Your heart is racing, staring at the message for a moment before replying to him.

Y/N: Chigs! Yeah, I’d love to. I’ll make lunch. You get drinks and dessert?

CH: You got it. Meet me at the training facility at 12:30? Y/N: Copy that. See you soon.

You get cooking after you respond for the final time. Your heart is still racing. You move quickly to make some chicken katsu, steamed rice, a simple salad, and some vegetable tempura (specifically broccoli and sweet potato since that is all you have). You layer each bento with rice and a chicken katsu cutlet in the lower compartment, and the salad and tempura in the upper compartments. The boxes nestle into your lined basket. You even pack sauces and your favorite furikake. 

Now that the meal was out of the way, you went to pick an outfit. You opt for your favorite light wash jeans, a baby pink peasant blouse and a mint green cardigan. A soft nod to the cherry blossom motif that is everywhere this time of year. By the time you finish primping, it’s ten til noon. You quickly spritz your perfume, pick a blanket, and grab your basket. It would take you 25 minutes to get to the training facility. 

There are days when the train ride isn't so bad. Today is not one of those days. It’s packed and the train smells like feet. You sigh, focusing on the sights passing outside and before you know it the train is at your stop. You hurry off the train, taking deep breaths of the fresh air. After brushing the wrinkles out of your top and adjusting your hair, you head to the bench where you always wait for him. A soft breeze blows, billowing your baby hairs and the edge of your top. When you look up from your phone, there he is. “Hey, good to see you. Ready to go?” He smiles warmly and your stress melts away. “If you don't mind, I’d like to stop and get dessert and drinks on our way to where we’re gonna picnic.”

“Yeah, that’s what we usually do.” You smile and gather the basket and blanket. Normally as you walk towards the convenience store, Chigiri just keeps his hands in his pockets. Today was a little different. He walked closer to you and as people passed by, his arm wrapped around your waist. You gasp softly as the contact, hoping he doesn't notice. 

Chigiri looks at you with a gentle side eye, making a mental note at how you reacted to his touch. The corners of his lips turn up as he pulls you closer. The two of you get to the store, Chigiri picks drinks and sweets for the two of you. When he reemerges from the shop, he replaces his arm around you and starts guiding you towards the park. 

“There's a place I want to show you,” He leans in and whispers to you. “Do you mind if we go there instead of to the park?” 

You turn your head, looking at him. “Yeah, we can go there.” When you look up, his soft maroon eyes look back at yours, glistening with something you’ve never seen before… or at least what he's never let you see. Pure adoration. 

The journey to this place that only Chigiri knows does take you through the park. The two of you meander under the blossoming cherry and plum trees. His fingers gently gripping your waist. Your path takes you to the other side of the reflective lake. There was a small glade, surrounded by quince bushes in full bloom. Their dark salmon blossoms attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and honey bees. He pulls you into the glade and lays the blanket down. He sits, patting the blanket next to him. 

“This is very private. How’d you find it?” You ask, lowering yourself next to him. 

“I was looking for a place to read over old match notes and stumbled onto this cove.” He whispers, brushing your hair out of your eyes. He sighs, “You look very nice today, princess. Like a delicate flower.”

You blush. “Th-thank you. You look nice too.” “Honey, you’re even cuter when you blush,” his fingers gently cup your cheek. “It’s nice to have you all to myself.” He leans closer, resting his forehead on yours. His eyes close, and you can hear how his breaths even out. 

“Hyoma…” your voice is soft like the breeze as you nuzzle your nose against his. Your eyes are closed and you can feel your pulse begin to race. There's a warmth building between the two of you.

“Yeah, princess?”

“I… I adore you.” “And I you.” 

A gentle wind blows quince petals into your hair as you share the first kiss of the rest of your lives.

New game! Their Majesties’ Pleasure by Leia Talon

New game! Their Majesties' Pleasure by Leia Talon! is now available on Steam, and in the Heart's Choice app on iOS and Android. It's 33% off until June 22!

https://www.choiceofgames.com/hearts-choice/their-majesties-pleasure/

In this enchanted sexual escapade, will you revel with mysterious rogues, wily Fae, the Prince, or the Princess? Where will your heart and loyalty lead you as the kingdom trembles on the edge of war?

Their Majesties’ Pleasure is a 225,000-word interactive erotic fantasy novel by Leia Talon, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

As a member of the royal guard, it is your duty to protect the heirs to the throne: the rebellious, fun-loving brother and sister who lead you on a merry chase outside the palace. They open you up to a world that you never knew before: a secret network of assassins, corrupt city officials, and a cabaret brimming with songs, spirits, and sex. And when you are done carousing in the city, you can move into the dark of the magic-filled forest, where demigods and Fae throw jubilant, bacchanal revels, which include orgies for those so inclined.

But the forest is not a peaceful neighbor, and as the enmities of generations past rise up, the realm begins to tip towards war. You are at the center of a tangle of intrigue, and your loyalty is tested at every turn. Your actions could spell the difference between a tentative peace or fierce battle on two fronts. 

Where will you find pleasure? Will you seduce the dark-haired Princess Lissa at a revel in the Darkwood, as she indulges her insatiable thirst for magical secrets? Or do you prefer her lithe, muscular brother, Prince Julian, entrenched with enemies of the Crown? Perhaps you'll have Javier, The Rogue King, the broad-shouldered crime boss who runs the the city's cabaret? Or Queen Edenia, the curvy Darkwood demigoddess who will let you taste her elixir of stardust? Or Galen, a golden-haired Fae prince whose warrior instincts are as honed as his skills in bed?

And what happens if your allegiance to the realm comes into conflict with the devotion of your heart? Which will you choose: loyalty or love? Can you find a way to have both?

• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi; asexual; monogamous or polyamorous.

• Romance a provocative prince, a feisty princess, a rogue king, a demigoddess, or an immortal warrior.

• Choose high-heat or sweet options, or avoid sex scenes entirely with lively conversation.

• Pledge your loyalty to the King, turn away from the Crown to side with its enemies - or become a spy to play both sides against the middle.

• Plunge into a steamy urban underworld full of assassins, criminals, and riotous taverns.

• Indulge in mysterious Fae revels, with magical food and drink to heighten your senses and otherworldly music to accompany your dances.

• Uncover the secrets of ages past to help prevent - or to incite - a future war.

Indulge your fantasies in Their Majesties’ Pleasure.

Exploring the Enchanting Wilderness: Sundarban Tour Package

Sundarbans, a name that conjures images of lush mangrove forests, elusive Bengal tigers, and tranquil waterways, is a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. Nestled in the delta region of West Bengal, India, and Bangladesh, Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Embarking on a Sundarban tour package is not just a journey; it's an immersive experience into the heart of nature's beauty and wilderness.

Unraveling the Mysteries of Sundarbans

Mangrove Majesty: The Sundarbans is renowned for its intricate network of mangrove forests, where the roots of trees intertwine to create a labyrinthine ecosystem. Exploring these mangroves by boat is a surreal experience, where every turn reveals a new vista of natural splendor.

Wildlife Encounters: One of the main highlights of a Sundarban tour package is the chance to spot the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat. Along with tigers, the Sundarbans is home to diverse wildlife, including spotted deer, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the opportunity to see rare avian species like the masked finfoot and the Mangrove Pitta.

Rivers and Rivulets: The Sundarbans is crisscrossed by a network of rivers and rivulets, making boat safaris the primary mode of transportation. Navigating through these waterways offers a unique perspective of the landscape, as well as the chance to witness daily life in the Sundarbans, with local fishermen casting their nets and villagers going about their routines.

The Allure of Sundarban Tour Packages

Safety and Convenience: Traveling with a tour package ensures safety and convenience, with trained staff equipped to handle any emergencies that may arise during the journey.

Tips for a Memorable Sundarban Adventure

Pack Light: As the Sundarbans is a remote and ecologically sensitive area, it's essential to pack light and only bring the essentials to minimize your environmental impact.

Stay Hydrated: The humid climate of the Sundarbans can be taxing, so remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout your journey.

Respect Nature: While exploring the Sundarbans, it's crucial to respect the natural environment and wildlife. Avoid littering and follow the instructions of your guides to minimize disturbances to the ecosystem.

In conclusion, a Sundarban tour package offers a gateway to a world of natural wonders and adventure. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a unique travel experience, exploring the Sundarbans is sure to leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
