“Move, I’m fine!”
“But Grandmaster, your wound!”
Bi Han was so stubborn sometimes, returning to the temple, blood dried on the side of his head, holding his ribs.
“Bi Han-“ Seeing him like this had tears swelling in my eyes. I’d never seen him in such a state.
He always worried me when he went out for missions and coming back like this, refusing help? I wouldn’t allow him to limp around.
“Bi Han, come with me,” Everyone moved away from us as I took his hand, Bi Han’s eyes beaming at me:
“I said I’m f-fine-“
Stuttering on his words and groaning in pain, I didn’t care how much he wanted to tell himself that he was okay when he clearly wasn’t.
“Stop being so stubborn and let me help you,” I sniffled but was firm; He still decided limped away with me following, we got away from everyone’s sight and he finally dropped his tough act, letting me help him as I placed his arm around my shoulder, leading him to our bedroom.
It was easy to see that his ribs were bothering him, so I made sure to be as gentle as possible, sitting him down on the bed and helping him get out of his clothes.
“Stay here while I go get something’s to patch you up, okay?”
“Fine,” He sighed, groaning in pain, but stayed still.
I returned with some wraps for his ribs, gazes and a bowl of warm, soapy water to clean his cut.
Beginning to wrap his ribs carefully, he was fighting louder groans of pain, kissing the top of his head as I finished with that toughest part.
“I’m all done with your ribs. Now, be careful laying back. You can try to relax while I finish up, okay?”
Nodding and holding his breath, I delicately guiding him to his back on the bed, making sure the pillow was holding his head upright; he kept huffing, taking deep breaths and hissing at his ribs and I tried to be as helpful as I could, cooing and kissing the top of his head:
“I’m going to take good care of you. I know it hurts, but I have you, love.”
“I know,” He inhaled, closing his eyes as I took the warm, soapy rag, cleaning away the blood, making sure his wound was cleaned so it could begin to heal.
“Please be more careful the next time you know you’re going to face danger. You worry me till I’m sick, sometimes,” I whispered as I covered the cut, kissing it softly, “I know you’re strong, but I can’t help but worry about you.”
“They got lucky,” He growled, holding his ribs; I didn’t know exactly what happened, but regardless, he came back injured.
“I love you, Bi Han,” Connecting a deep gaze, I needed him to know how much I cared for him, ”And I hate seeing you this way. I know it’s hard given your responsibilities and the many challenges you face, but I worry every second you’re gone. I don’t ever want to lose you or see you hurt.”
The tears that were built up began to leak out, cleaning my face, quickly looking as he took my hand.
“You won’t lose me, dear,” He was confident in his words, squeezing my handle softly as he whispered, “I love you too.”
Bi Han didn’t express his feelings with words so directly. He didn’t say, ‘I love you’, often. I knew that he did, but hearing him say it always filled me with joy.
My tears faded with a small smile as he pulled me close to him, kissing me softly. I wanted to hold onto his kiss for as long as I could, but knew he needed rest, kissing one last time before I picked myself up, “I love you so much, Bi Han. You’ll be feeling better soon. I’ll make sure of it.”

Possession | Johnny Cage x m!reader
『••✎••』
↳ ❝ “Fuck, I love it when you get so possessive”
With Johnny Cage if you have do it already ❞
: ̗̀➛ Johnny doesn't like it when he spots someone else trying to steal his spotlight.
: ̗̀➛ gets a little nsfw near the end, dom/sub dynamics, swearing, jealousy and possessive behaviour.
: ̗̀➛ MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
•─────────────────★•♛•★────────────────•
Gently, Kung Lao rested his hand on your shoulder as he laughed along at some joke you had told; the two of you had always gotten along brilliantly, which had never really posed an issue before and had never really caused any problems except the odd distraction from his duties here and there.
Small, insignificant issues and problems were easily dealt with, usually laughed off with ease.
You had always been good friends, though, and mostly everyone had always understood that the relationship was more akin to brotherhood than anything else; Raiden picked up on it early, as did Tomas and his brother Kuai.
You acted like brothers, after all, and it was obvious that you did love each other as such, too. But as he laughed at your joke, you couldn’t help but to look out of the corner of your eye and notice your boyfriend Johnny.
He looked pissed, pouting and folding his arms across his chest. You figured that either Raiden or Kuai had told him off for taking selfies again, so you shrugged it off as you grinned at Kung Lao.
He seemed to notice Johnny’s discontented look, and chuckled as he shook his head, nudging you.
“Looks like your Hollywood star isn’t too happy… what’d you do? Tell him you didn’t like one of his films?”
You shook your head as you pushed him gently, trying not to laugh. “I like all of his films, thank you very much - even the ones that suck.”
He didn’t seem convinced as he scoffed and rolled his eyes, looking over at Johnny, who was now sat down and scrolling on his phone, his brows furrowed and his lips in an obvious frown; you looked over, and shook your head before you got up and headed to Johnny’s side.
Sitting on the rock beside him, you gently nudged his knee to get his attention. He looked up at you, then quickly returned his gaze to his phone again. 
“Johnny?” You hummed, inching a little closer and resting your chin on his shoulder. “Talk to me, baby.”
He locked his phone, stuffing it back into his pocket as he sighed and shrugged. “You sure you wouldn’t rather spend time with the chosen one?”
“Very much,” you nodded, reaching under his arm so you could hold his hand tightly, your thumb gently tracing his knuckles. “C’mon, talk to me… I know somewhere private we can go.”
Johnny glared at you for a moment, then told you to lead the way as he quickly followed behind; you were lucky, you had a place just on the outskirts that was usually undisturbed, so you could quickly head over with Johnny, all too eager to get the door open and unlocked, even more eager to have him press you against it once you were inside.
His kiss was heavy, all breaths and wandering hands as he kept you pinned between his body and the heavy door; you were all too greedy, welcoming every second of the kiss as you did your best to keep up with him, grinning as you buried your hands into his hair and tugged softly at the velvety brown strands.
He pulled away, breathing somewhat heavily as he scowled and grumbled softly.
Softly biting at your bottom lip, Johnny sighed as he tried to regain some composure to at least speak. “Mine. All mine.”
“Oh, Johnny,” you grinned breathlessly, gently smoothing down his hair. “Fuck, I love it when you get so possessive…”
“C’mon, say it,” he harshly pleaded, his hands on your sides as he squeezed gently. “I need to hear you say it, please.”
You couldn’t deny such sweet begs and soft pleading, doing your best not to grin as you nodded and hummed quietly under your breath. “All yours, Mister Cage - morning, noon and night.”
“Yeah?” He whispered, daring to smile as he licked his lips and dropped his gaze down to your mouth for a moment. “You mean that?”
You nodded, letting your hands drop to his chest as you smiled back and dared to laugh softly. “Ever since I met you on the set of that film about the cunt in the mask.”
“You mean the one where I played the handsome sheriff?” He mused, raising a brow.
“That’s the one,” you agreed, daring to softly kiss his cheek. “Best horror film I ever watched, because you were in it.”
Johnny grinned, holding you a little tighter as he dared to murmur in your ear, ��y’know, I’ve still got the costume back home.”
“It does look great on you,” you told him gently. “But, y’know, we’ll have to see what happens when we get home.”
He nodded, although it was quite reluctant; he never was the patient one. “Do we have to?”
“We’re only here for a few days,” you told him. “And then we’ll be back at your mojo dojo casa house.”
“I wish you wouldn’t call it that,” he muttered, although clearly smiling. “You still gonna come to the premier of Timequake?”
You nodded, smiling as you dared to hum softly under your breath. “Of course - what kinda boyfriend would I be if I didn’t show up to support you, Mister Cage?”
Johnny nodded as he gently tugged at your belt, slowly gesturing for you to get on your knees; you did so, gently grabbing his thighs. “You’re all mine, aren’t you, baby?”
You nodded at him, looking up at him as innocently as you could, knowing that he could never say no to the puppy dog eyes, his ultimate weakness. “All yours, only yours, Mister Cage… what would you like me to do?”
Unzipping his jeans, Johnny raised a brow slightly as he tilted his head to the side and gently swiped his tongue along your lower lip. “I think you know what I want you to do, pretty boy.”
You couldn’t help it, gently gripping onto his thighs a little tighter as you bit at your bottom lip and tried your best not to grin. You knew it was going to be a long night, but you were more than happy to stay awake.

syzoth x reader brainrot below the cut
• Your first kiss is kinda weird. Syzoth isn't used to giving/recieving affection in his human form, so your faces bump into each other a few times before you finally meet your target. His eyes are open the whole time, and you try to hold back giggles as not to discourage him.
• As he becomes more accustomed to kissing you, makeout sessions also become a thing you tutor him on. He seemed curious the first time you slipped your tongue into his mouth, not disliking it but also not really understanding it. So you guide him in moving his mouth against yours, and it doesn't take long for his prehensile, forked tongue to slip past your lips as he wraps his arms around you.
• Sometimes his long, scaly tail makes an appearance out of nowhere, even when the rest of his body is visibly human. You have learned through accidentally petting it before that it is... a particularly sensitive zone for him. You still blush when you think about the soft moan that escaped his mouth the first time you ran your fingers along the individual scales, hard muscle lying underneath.
• Syzoth is gentleman when it comes to kissing and caressing you... until you ask him to do otherwise. When you urge him to be a little more rough, to leave marks along your neck and grind down into you like an animal in heat, well, he can certainly deliver.
• Foreplay is also a newer experience for the Zaterran, at least in his human form. When your encounters start to get spicier, you have to show him the ropes a little here and there, but he's a quick leaner.
He takes immense pleasure in fingering you, the smell of your arousal driving him wild as he elicits whines and moans from your slackened jaw. Eating you out also becomes one of his favorite activities (and yours as well), as his tongue can drive you absolutely wild and make you cum like no one else ever has.
As for recieving, he's a little shy about it at first, but with time opens up to your gentle caresses and strokes, being driven wild whenever you have your hands on him. It's a constant struggle for him not to cum immediately when you take his length into your mouth, his pale green eyes rolling back into his head and legs shaking beneath you.
• He's very versatile when it comes to sex. There aren't any complaints if you want him to top you (though you do develop a system of how hard you want it, after a while, as some days you want to get dicked down like it's mating season, others, you want it nice and slow). Although he'll blush bright green if you point it out, he absolutely loves it when you're on top, and enjoys holding on to your waist as you ride him.
• He's a cold-blooded boy, so he'll definitely choose to snuggle close to you after activities, or during the night, to share some of your heat and take a little nap.
• Taking him to Walmart and buying him a tupperware of live crickets from their fishing section (his fav snack).

Treating you // Liu Kang one smut (part one)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Omg thank you. I gotchu, Tehehe 🤭
︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶
★ Liu Kang absolutely loves you, but being earth realms protector can sometimes drive you apart, causing you to feel a bit lonely.
★ “Starlight? Are you okay…?” He asks, approaching you with his gaze lingering on your face, hoping to read any expression it may make.
★ “Yeah…I’m fine.” You lamely reply, shooting him a fake smile. He gently sits next to you, placing his hand on your thigh.
★ “You know we can talk about it if you need.” ‘How sweet’ you would think to yourself before relenting.
★ “I just feel like you’re gone a lot, we barely get to see each other anymore and when we do… it’s always for a short period of time. I’m lucky if I get to have a night of sleep with you by my side throughout it, I get lonely, I just…miss you.” You choke up a bit as you express yourself.
★ He sits there, silent for a moment, letting your words sink in before speaking softly to you. “I never knew you felt so alone, I should have predicted this would have been an issue, I am sorry, Y/N…”
★ He gently cups your face with both of his rough, calloused hands. Caressing your lips with his thumb, admiring their soft appearance.
★ Looking at each other for a moment, your eyes glued to his piercing gaze, you wait for him to have some type of response to your feelings, besides ‘sorry’. Cut short from your internal dialogue, you were frozen speechless, as he suddenly pulled you in to press his lips against yours lovingly, then pulled away to look at you admiringly.
★ “Y/N…” he gently whispered, looking at you with a tint of sadness in his eyes. He knows he’s gone a lot. But he didn’t know he was neglecting you in such a way. His chest tightened as he felt a sense of guilt. You are his lover, this shouldn’t be an issue with the relationship, yet here you are, pouring your heart out right before him.
★ You couldn’t even react, he leaned back in, to gently place another soft kiss on your lips. “I love you.” He whispers right before going back in for a more passionate lip-locking session. The kiss felt like a dream, and you quickly began to melt into it.
★ “L-Liu…” you would breathe into the kiss, as your tongues intertwined in a passionate fight for dominance, of course, Liu Kang being victor in the end, would turn you into a puddle quickly within his grasp. You began running your fingers through his fine, black hair, relishing in the physical contact that you had been so desperate for. The kiss would last just a few minutes, causing you to want more when he separated for air.
★ His lips released from yours, and began trailing down your neck, while he held your head, gently in place with his hands still cupping your rose-tinted cheeks. he would successfully elicit a small whimper from your mouth as he cornered a sweet spot in the crook of your neck, abusing it slightly, he sucked and nipped at it.
★ “How could I have been so foolish to leave you feeling this way, my love? “I’m truly sorry, and I am grateful that you stay patient with me, starlight…” “I don’t know what I would do without you, my angel.”
★ Liu Kang would whisper small praise in between kissing your neck and leaving small love bites. Apologies flooding the air as he moved his hands to your hips, pulling you in closer, to sit comfortably on his lap.
★ “I promise to try better with how I use my time with you, I never knew you felt so neglected by me, my love.” “Please forgive me…” He seemed to get almost emotional, with his realization. You simply shake your head in an attempt to reassure him. “I-It’s okay… I just-“
★ You were cut off, when he picked you up and laid you down on the bed, gently onto your back. You looked up at him, face flushed as you took in his towering figure above your own. “Don’t dismiss your feelings, Y/N.” He simply stated as he began to slowly crawl over you. “I’ve been a fool, neglecting you the way I have been…”
★ Not even able to protest, as he began running his rough hands down your sides, hiking your shirt up, enough to expose your beautiful skin. Liu Kang leaned his head down to plant of slow burning kiss onto your lips for the umpteenth time, savoring the taste of them as his hands snaked beneath your shirt, feeling you up before he cut the kiss short, guiding his mouth to the nape of your neck, trailing down past your collar bones.
★ You would let out a small gasp, as your lover kissed his way down from your collarbones to your stomach. His hands were both on each breast, fondling and playing with your nipples as he teased your sensitive flesh with his mouth. Sprinkling kisses he felt your body react to his touch. Once he felt satisfied with the small section of skin he was littering with kisses to the next, up until he reached your lower stomach, teasing the hem of your shorts.
★ Looking down at him, your eyes glossy from the intimacy, awaiting his next move, Liu Kang takes this time out to admire the way you react. Looking into your eyes with his bright, glowing ones. “I cannot believe I have this wonderful being at home, and I’ve been neglecting her…” he spoke with a sweet tone, as he continued. “All just for me, I must be mad to think something as sweet as you could go on as long as you have been, without any of my attention…” “I do apologize Y/N…”
★ After saying this, he lowered himself to the floor, swiftly pulling you closer to the edge of the bed by your plush thighs in the process. You let out a small yip in surprise, but that is shortly cut off when he uses his left hand to pull your shorts to the side, revealing your dampened panties to him. “Just look at this, you’ve been so good, waiting for me patiently. I think it’s time I reward you, sweet girl”
★ And with one swift movement, he pulled your soaked panties to the side, alongside your shorts. Leaving you bare to his demand. Of course, he was going to make the most of this moment and began praising your beautiful pussy, soaked in its own sweet, sticky nectar. He couldn’t help but plant a loving kiss on it. Licking the small trace of your essence off his lips. “Mmmh…”
★ Nothing else was said as he simply delved deep into your core, nuzzling your clit with his nose as he lapped at your juices, eating you out like it was his last meal. Flicking his tongue just right, he continued teasing your small bud with his nose, his arm locked over your stomach, keeping your hips in place as he tongue fucked you. Using his other hand to continue fondling your breast, he began pushing deeper working you, just barely touching that sweet spot with his tongue's length.
★ Your hips would buck involuntarily begging for more, as he picked up his pace, keeping your hips pinned in the process so you wouldn’t squirm away. His hand left your soft tit, making its way down your vulnerable body, and to his lap, palming at his hardened cock as he focused on pleasuring you, before moving it back up to between your legs. He would stop his lapping and replace it with his thick middle finger, pumping in and out of your needy, tight cunt.
★ “You’re doing so well for me, Y/N.” Liu Kang would talk you through it as he added a second finger, leaning back into your heat, flicking his tongue onto the small bundle of nerves while he quickened the pace of his fingers inside of you. Feeling your walls tighten around his fingers, he keeps his pace exact, bringing you closer to the edge.
★ “ I- I feel close~” “Aha- don’t stop~” you would muster the last bit of your strength to say that sentence coherently. “Yes my love~” Your lover hummed in response against your core, feeling the vibrations of his voice throughout your body caused goose bumps to form on your soft skin. he curled his fingers, hitting your sweet spot over and over again, relishing in the taste of your clit as his digits worked their magic within you. You gripped the sheets above your head, back arched. feeling the build-up begging for release, and without further thought you let go.
★ Coming undone, squirting roughly onto his hand, your mind is in a complete state of bliss, as he laps at your folds, savoring the juices while his fingers continue their movement, milking you for every last drop. Your brain would go fuzzy when he finally released from your heaving cunt. Bringing his hand up to his mouth to lick his fingers clean, before climbing up onto the bed, pulling you in close to him. He knew he could push you further if he wanted to, but he was content to simply watch and enjoy the glowing aftermath of your orgasm. Resting his chin on top of your head as you two cuddled in that moment, he gently spoke.
★ “Would you like to bathe, starlight?” He would ask genuinely, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, pulling your hand up to his lips and kissing it. You nod, and he simply picks you up bridal style, carrying you off to after care.
(Will most likely make a part two with a spicy shower scene)

Comfortember 2023 Day 6: “Notes”
A/N: My sporadic contribution to Comfortember. It’s short but Johnny Cage bbs come get y’all juice. It’s my birth month and I’m closing in on the end of my semester so I can’t promise anything but please enjoy!!
Pairing: Johnny Cage x Reader
Warnings: none, fluff :)
Tumblr media
Notes. Johnny left them everywhere. Don’t get him wrong. He definitely preferred the convenience of using his phone to send you little memos. It was instant and Johnny could really accommodate his own attention span by using his phone but when he found out on accident how much you loved them, he made a point of it.
You both still remembered the first of its kind.
A pink sticky note on the back of your script that said “And it was all a dream!” with the most hastily-drawn smiley face ever.
You laughed when you saw it. It was a miracle that it hadn’t become a casualty to the rough handling of your scripts before you discovered it.
He had to have done it when you were putting your post-its in your script, marking it up the night before. You hadn’t thought much of the clumsy kiss he gave you when he checked in as the sun went down. Then again you hadn’t been paying that close attention to him or anything else for that matter. A glass of water. A “How’s it going, baby?” A stumble and a peck. And his leg and hand knocking right into the back of the thick stack of 8.5 by 11 copy paper in your grasp as he had moved to sit next to you.
The bump into the script in your hand had been completely intentional, you realized with delight at the table read. It made your Instagram story in seconds accompanied by the words ‘original illustration by @johnny.cage’ and some pink hearts in the top right corner.
That had sealed it.
The next one you found was in your purse. Well, not your purse exactly. It was in the compact in your purse. Blue. “Hey, good-lookin.’” A winky face. It had fluttered out as you were landing out of the country for a shoot. You still had your neck pillow on. You sent Johnny one of the ugliest selfies you had ever taken with it. Against your protests, it became his lock screen photo.
Then they truly popped up everywhere. Your boyfriend was relentless.
A set of expensive rings you’d stared at a little too long on Rodeo. Purple sticky note. “For my precious.” A noble but indecent-looking stick figure attempt at Gollum was near it, partially scribbled out.
Surprise coffee in your trailer. Yellow note. Sunshine with sunglasses.
New boots, courtesy of Johnny. Pink. “Step on me in these.”
Sleeping in while he had left at the crack of dawn. Pink. “Busy all day. Sushi at our regular spot for dinner.” Heart.
Almost all of them made your Instagram story. The dick that looked like it had been drawn by a middle school boy on a blue sticky note slapped to the bathroom mirror, for example, hadn’t made the cut. The ones that did though… Johnny reposted each within 5 minutes, no matter what time it was.
Like the orange sticky note you woke up to under your glasses that said ‘Jinkies!’ You had gone to bed and left them on your nightstand at 4 am. Johnny had stayed up with you. He had left at 6 am for the day. It made you worry about his sleep schedule.
It didn’t matter that you couldn’t keep up with his god-like speed in making unique sticky notes. You posted them. And you kept and remembered all of them. All of them. Yes, even the blue doodle dick.
Again, Johnny definitely preferred sending you texts and voice memos as soon as he felt like you were forgetting how hot you were, which was usually several times a day. It should also be noted that the sticky notes never detracted from the amount of attention he was already giving you. Johnny was a beast at reminding you how much he loved you.
As he had said it once: “There’s no threshold, baby. I’ll die telling you how sexy your walker is; the last sticky note I ever leave you will tell you the same thing.”
He slapped one on your ass after he had said that. Yellow. “Johnny Cage wuz here.”

Tumblr media
"And then one random night - when everything changes, you won't reply and we'll go back to strangers"
Warnings: angst, fluff, depressing topics, ghosting, situationship, implied smut at end, etc.
Another read message.
Looking down at your phone, the message you sent -
"Wanna go on a drive again?" < read
You let out an audible sigh as you slumped into your chair. It was a common occurrence to get ghosted by the Hollywood star. You knew it was likely trust issues from his recent divorce - I know right? A cocky man like him? Have trust issues? Seems very unlikely.. but he hides it well.
Your eyes seemed to engrave the message screen engulfing your phone. You almost hope he blocks you sometimes. You hate when he does this, and then texts you in the middle of the night asking if your up.
You're used to getting bothered by him 24/7, text messages, calls, pictures, etc. Although it was different when you found out he was training as a champion for earthrealm.. he tried to explain it the best he could with what little knowledge he knew himself. You knew how busy he would be, yet that never seemed to stop him half the time. The other half? He was like this. You had enough.
You glared down at your still read message - it's been 15 minutes. You give an annoyed sigh and began typing again.
"Keep ignoring me Cage, I don't know what we are but I can't handle when you do this to me. Don't try to call me again."
< sent
With a huff you soon retreated to the backseat of your own car. Pulling your knees to your chest staring out of your left window.
You didn't bother checking your phone from that point. Feeling so conflicted in your own mind you seemed to get lost in time.
You don't know how much time has passed but you know you've been sitting in your car for a while. Your eyes feeling heavy - yet you weren't really tired.
You were brought back to your conscious, getting pulled away from your thoughts as you hearing a voice yelling out.
"Y/N open the door please.. I'm sorry!"
The familiar voice of Johnny ringing in your ears, you looked over to see his form pounding his fist at your front door. Then standing there in a silence, almost looking defeated by the second.
You heard a sigh escape the man before he turned around, while going to walk to his car he spotted you in yours. Locking eyes for a moment before you turned your head and looked back outside the other window.
It wasn't long before you heard the door to your car open, and a shift in the seat next to you, then the car door shutting. You stayed in silence for a while before hearing a sigh from the figure beside you.
"How long are you going to ignore me hun'?"
Not falling for the Hollywood's words you pursed your lips further together and locked your eyes to the stars painting the sky from your window. You heard a shifting motion before you felt strong hands slink around your waist and a weight fall on the back of your shoulder, a feeling you often felt when receiving comfort from Johnny.
"You know I don't mean to do that.. I- ...I'm sorry.."
You heard the man sputter over his words, trying to refrain from excuses. His warm breath hitting your neck and his hands squeezing your waist. You at first - didn't want to give him the satisfaction of a reply but quickly realized that the man was not joking this time - yet was serious.
"Please..."
His hands slightly clinging tighter around your waist, like he was afraid you would disappear. You release a breath you didn't even realize you were holding.
Feeling his head turn up to your face slightly as if he was expecting you to say something.
"Fine..."
You huffed out in defeat. You knew you couldn't be mad at him entirely, he was always busy and you knew he didn't mean it.
You felt a growing smile form from his lips as his face buried into your neck, before feeling the same soft skin press light kisses all over your neck.
"I knew you couldn't stay mad at me."
Yet the man still joked. Receiving an eye roll from you. It wasn't too soon before he finally gave out and pulled away from you, then hearing a thud as you looked back to see his frame, laid on his back as he looked up at the ceiling of the car. You couldn't help but smile at it all. Letting your own car seat fall back and slowly laying back on your back as well, beside him. You two stayed in comfortable silence before you spoke again.
"So what are we exactly, Johnny?"
You questioned the man beside you, turning your head towards him. You saw his lips purse into a thin line for a moment before opening.
"Whatever you want us to be, as long as I get to be right next to you like this."
His head finally turning to yours. Smiling to yourselves as you felt the small gap between you two shrinken even more. Watching as his form leaned into yours as his body rolled to his side so his arms could slink around your waist again and pull you in.
Your lips connecting felt like the missing puzzle pieces to your whole world, connecting together, everything felt perfect. Between the soft kiss when you two pulled away to catch your breath, you heard him speak in soft praises, before you finally got some words out yourself.
"I want to be yours, Cage."
Tumblr media
Author's note:
It took a while to write this lol, i was honestly debating weather I should post it or not.
Idk if I went too off w his character, but I feel like Johnny is secretly a sweetheart. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this regardless ! <3

For the past two days, I had been waking up sick. It would fade away just to come back worse than before. I had an idea of what it could have been, but I wanted to be sure.
Unlike me, my husband, Bi Han, was somewhat worried and impatient to know the cause. It was rare for me to get sick, and to such intensity had him pacing back and forth:
"I am getting tired of waiting."
"Relax, Brother," Kuai sighed at him, only trying to help, "I am sure that Y/N will be fine."
"Don't tell me to relax," Bi Han growled at him, freezing and staring as the doctor stepped out of the room, whispering to Bi Han with a smile:
"She will be just fine, but she does have something to tell you. It's best if you hear it from her."
With the door open, I could see the confusion on his face. He marched into the room, shutting and locking the door.
"Don't look so stressed, Bi Han. I'm fine, I promise."
"Then why are you sick?" He groaned out of impatience, sitting at my side on our bed, growing serious as he asked, "The doctor told me that you had something to tell me. What is it?"
"I know why I've been dealing with this sickness," I smiled. My smile confused him till I took his hand, his eyes carefully following it as I placed his hand on top of my stomach.
His eyes shot over to mine quickly, knowing what was going on but needing to hear me say:
"You're going to be a father, Bi Han."
"I'm going to be a father," He repeated, smiling more with my nod:
"It's why my nausea was so strong, love."
"I'm going to be a father," He repeated again, his hand sliding under the blanket and under my shirt to feel my stomach.
I wasn't far along, but as his palm met my skin, there was this overwhelming happiness that washed over me; I sniffled as I nodded to him again:
"We're going to be parents, dear."
Seeing my swelled-up tears, he fixed me up a little so he could hug me, which only made that happiness stronger, squeezing him as he cooed to me:
"And we will be great parents."
"I'm so blessed to be your wife and the mother of your child," I sniffled, back to smiling as he wiped a tear from my cheek:
"There's no other in this world that I'd want to be that for me."
As our foreheads met and I stared into those brown eyes, I just knew our future was filled with even more joyful moments than this one, holding his face as he smiled at me softly, kissing him:
"You and our child are my whole world, Bi Han."
Kissing me back, he only turned away as there was a knock on the door, getting up to see Kuai and Tomas.
"I truly hate to interrupt brother-" Kuai began, just for Bi Han to immediately shut him down:
"Whatever it is, it can wait. I just learned that I'm going to be a father."
"But-" Tomas went to step in but stopped as he registered what Bi Han had said, "Wait a second. Y/N's pregnant?"
"Yes, she is," Bi Han clarified, shocked but smiles on their faces as they learned that they'd be uncles, Kuai congratulating us and making eye contact with me:
"That would explain why you've been sick. Congratulations. I'm happy for you two."
"As am I," Tomas bowed, saying quickly, "Sorry to disturb you, brother."
As they shut the door, Bi Han returned to me, his hand latched to my stomach again. I'd never get tired of that feeling, placing my hand on top of his, squeezing softly:
"I can't wait to meet our baby and be our own little family."

A Red Dragon Made of Blue Ice | Kuai Liang x gn!reader
『••✎••』
↳ ❝ "It's not much but... I need you to know I love you to the point of creation with Kuai Liang please re read ice snake and really these prompt make me think of it
But whatever you feel like if you want to do it :) ❞
: ̗̀➛ Kuai Liang does his best to do right by you as much as he can
: ̗̀➛ swearing
•───────────────★•♛•★──────────────•
Kuai Liang grumbled as he looked at the small and broken sculpture in his hands; he had made it himself, trying for hours on end to no avail, trying to get every single scale and every single knock and notch just right.
It wasn't going right in the slightest, and he hated the thought of giving you something that didn't perfectly explain just how he felt; how his heart fluttered and swelled when he saw you smile.
How his lips tugged into a grin every time you waved at him as you passed him by on the grounds. He wanted it to show just how much he loved you; how he thought of you constantly whenever you weren't around, how he missed the feeling of warm sheets next to him when you got up in the mornings.
He needed to show you just how much he adored you; he knew he was far from the best of partners, but he was trying. Kuai Liang had an entire clan to lead, people to train - although you had taken up the maintenance side of the buildings and gardens after moving in, as it kept you busy.
He never thought he had time for love. Romance was never something afforded to the Grandmaster.
Yet Kuai Liang still stumbled on you, he had found the one person who was able to crush the icy walls he hid himself behind; romance and love were hard to come by, but you had changed everything. Kuai Liang knew that he could never be a perfect significant other, but he did genuinely love you, and he wanted to show you.
He knew that he could not write, and he could not draw, but his talent with ice was far beyond compare; with deft and sure fingers, he could conjour the ice easily and attempt to shape it as best as he could.
A great red dragon carved from thick blue ice. Four thick legs adorned with sharp claws; two large and expansive wings made of dense scales. Sharp spines along its neck and back, and a triangular tipped tail and tongue.
A powerful, extraordinary beast that Kuai Liang could not help but compare you to; a powerful, intelligent, brave beast. Yet stunning and brilliant to gaze upon.
He hummed as he worked on it yet again, slowly starting to lose his temper with what he was doing despite his overwhelming patience; when he felt a hand upon his shoulder, he almost flinched, very nearly dropping the sculpture in his hands as he let out a hitched breath.
"Oh," he breathed out, looking up with a smile. "It's only you."
You nodded as you sat down beside him, your hand gently coming to sit on his shoulder as you tilted your head to the side, looking at what was in his hands. You hummed under your breath, nodding curtly. "What's this?"
Kuai Liang shrugged, feeling completely hopeless as his shoulders slumped and he frowned. "I wanted to make you something, but I can't get it right."
"May I?" You asked softly, and when he handed it to you, you couldn’t help but to grin. Tears prickling at the corners of your eyes as your lip quivered, breath caught in your throat for a second. "It's beautiful..."
"I know..." he shook his head. "Look, my love, it's not much but... I need you to know I love you to the point of creation and I... I am truly sorry for not being there for you as often as I should."
You shook your head, gently raking your fingers over the great spines along the back and neck as you laughed softly, sniffling. "Oh, Kuai Liang, for a smart guy you're really stupid, aren't you?"
He furrowed his brows tightly, scratching at his scruffy jaw. "Beg pardon?"
"It's gorgeous," you started, "look at the detailing on the wings, and and the scale pattern is a perfect ratio, I mean, you even got the stomach scales down perfectly! You say it's not much, but it's more than anyone has ever done for me before. It's gorgeous."
All tension and hopelessness and anxiety dropped from Kuai Liang as he let out a long and drawn out breath, his shoulders slumping as he looked at you so fondly, nearly laughing. "You really like it?"
"I adore it," you told him. "Thank you. You didn't have to, but-"
"I wanted to," he corrected with a shake of his head. "And I... I will happily make more, if you like it."
"Would you?"
He nodded. "I would make a thousand for you... a thousand little dragons, all for you."
"I wouldn't ask you to," you whispered. "I wouldn't want you to feel used."
Kuai Liang shook his head, gently pressing his forehead against your temple for a moment before giving it a soft kiss. "I would want to, though. Romance is... it's new to me, you know that. I want to do everything I can to show you just how much I love you, at all times. I know you do it for me, I've seen the red camellia flowers you plant in the gardens."
"You really noticed?" You asked, almost flustered that he ever would.
With a nod, he laughed softly. "They're my favourite, of course I noticed them... planted right next to the yellow daffodils."
You shrugged, gently nudging him. "I couldn't resist, but... I'm glad you noticed."
"I love you," he told you seriously, waiting for you to gently put down the little dragon before he tugged you close, holding your face in his gentle but calloused hands. "I really do love you."
"I know," you murmured, taking his face in your hands and trying not to laugh at how his scruff tickled your palms. "I love you, too... if you have some time free... do you wanna go listen to Cherry Pie by Warrant?"
"I love that album."
"I know," you grinned. "That's why I'm suggesting it."
He nodded, licking his lips as he hummed. "Lead the way, my darling."

Hey sorry I’m the Liu Kang requester that accidentally put you through a tone of pain (sorry bout that)
Gimme angst of him seeing the woman he loves dying and getting reincarnated over and over again and no matter what she keeps dying in his arms by unnatural causes. This is his last time, his final try to save her. Will he save her? Or will she die again?
Firstly, no need to apologize lol. I’m just brain empty 6/7 days of the week. Funny enough, once you sent this I got more ideas for Liu Kang so we’ll see more of him once I finish all my requests. Secondly, I really like this prompt. I really like this trope in general. But I feel like I wrote it so bad😭. I don’t feel like I did it justice. As I was writing it I was like “the hoes not gon like this. Why is my brain buns?”. So, apologies in advance-
When Liu Kang returned with Raiden after speaking to the Elder Gods, the last thing he expected was to see a blood bath caused by Sindel. 
Bodies laid on the floor perfectly still. It was like someone laid a bunch of mannequins down and dressed them up to look exactly like the kombatants he cared for, and honestly if this was all just some cruel joke and everyone stood up and laughed, he would've breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe the anger would kick in later, but he'd sigh and say how happy he was to see everyone still alive. 
The only body that moved was yours. 
Your legs moved very slightly and your voice was so quiet, he was sure he wouldn't have been able to hear it if he wasn't silenced by shock. 
He ran over to you and crouched by your side, “you are alright” he tried to offer both of you some sort of hope even if he knew it was not true. In reality you looked terrible. There was a deep slash that went from the side of your neck and diagonal down your body. Blood covered your clothes and soaked the floor beneath you and in all honesty, he had no idea how you were still alive. Perhaps it had something to do with the theory about animals. He wasn't calling you an animal and he didn't see you as a pet, but there was a theory that pets waited for their owner to return to them before they died instead of dying on their own. No one knew why. For comfort in their final moments? To say goodbye? For one last moment together? It was a question that would never get an answer and Liu Kang wondered if that theory went for friends and lovers as well. 
“Don't speak. Preserve your strength. We'll find you help”. Your hand went up to caress his face and Liu Kang leaned into it, his face memorizing how your fingers felt against him. He wanted to have hope. You were strong enough to raise your hand to him so surely you'd be ok if they got you medical attention. 
That hope was snipped from him within seconds. 
As quickly as your hand raised, it fell back to the floor and your body went limp. That was it. There was no inspiration speech you gave before you died or some emotional moment he'd see in the plays he watched. It was over as soon as it started. 
Your death upset him, yes. What really pushed him over the edge though is that his trip to the Elder Gods meant nothing. Shao Khan got closer and closer to invading Earthrealm and the Elder Gods refused to intervene. Their absence should've meant something. He should've came back with good news, but instead he came back with no answers, no help, no idea what to do next and hardly any friends left. 
Your death plus the others is what ultimately led him to going against Raiden and his own untimely death.  
In one universe, that was it. His pain was over. Liu Kang died, Earthrealm was invaded and Shao Khan killed everyone else. It's not what he wanted but being dead meant no more sorrow. Your bloody body was no longer imprinted in his mind and he would never touch his own face while imagining it was your hand again. 
That's what happened in that timeline. 
In another timeline, things were different, yet you still fell victim to a brutal fate. 
The past and present merged for reasons unknown. You, Liu Kang and Kung Lao were sent to the Academy to make sure your enemies would not reach the Grotto. After dealing with traps, Scorpion and a Revenant Jade, he could feel how tense you were. 
“You are silent” he stated, “it is not like you to be so silent”
“It's nothing”. You responded too quickly, but Liu Kang knew you. Sure, you could be quiet at times but completely silent? Your face bunched together? Fingers tapping against your leg as you walk? It wasn't “nothing” and he was sure he knew what you were thinking. It was something both you and Kung Lao seemed to think. Kung Lao had just been the only one to voice his concerns. 
“They were mistakes-”
“How many mistakes can one person make?” You interrupted, “how many lives can be lost because of 'mistakes’? Raiden seems to make constant mistakes that hurt everyone around him, yet he escapes”. He understood your frustration. After all, he was told Raiden murders him himself, but was it murder if it was an accident? Could any of this be pinned on Raiden, the man he worships and respects?
No. This wasn't on him. Everyone made mistakes and some of your deaths weren't on Raiden at all. Some of you made your own stupid choices that led to your death. His version of Raiden would never do something so foul to any of his followers on purpose. 
Liu Kang grabbed your hand -ignored Kung Lao's immature disgusted noises- and stopped the both of you from walking any further. “You can't lose faith in Lord Raiden”, you went to protest but he stopped you “if you want to blame him, then you have to blame me as well”. 
You looked even more displeased than before, like he had said something treacherous. Was it though? Liu Kang didn't blame Raiden when it came to all of your deaths. He blamed himself. He's Earthrealm's champion, the chosen one if you will, and he couldn't save anyone? Wasn't that the point of him? To save everyone and give everyone a sense of hope? 
Then his mind went to his Revenant self. In this timeline he saw his friends slaughtered like pigs and lived with this guilt, even if it was only for a short while. And now they were all revenants and Liu Kang couldn't help but wonder if this twisted version of himself still carried that guilt or did he see it as a blessing now? 
Your fingers touching his cheek brought him back to reality, but that calming feeling only lasted so long. He didn't know how to describe it or why he was feeling this way, but he felt this tenseness all over his body like something terrible was going to happen. 
“Why would I blame you for my death?”
That tense feeling became worse and he couldn't help but look around as he spoke, “I accompanied Lord Raiden to speak with the Elder Gods. If I had been there, then perhaps…” he didn't have to finish for you to understand. You snapped your fingers in front of his face and drew his attention back to you, 
“I don't blame you for my death”
“And I don't blame you either. How sweet” Kung Lao said impatiently, sarcasm seeping through his words. “Now can we keep walking?”. He supposed he was right, even if he hated it. Before he started walking again, you placed a kiss on his cheek and Kung Lao once again voiced his disgust with sarcasm, “can I give you a kiss too?”. 
“Something you wish to tell us, Kung Lao?” You joked and if it wasn't for the danger you three were in, he'd say he was really enjoying the quality time you three were spending together. 
Kung Lao went to respond, but was interrupted when a figure came into view. A man with brown skin and these weird cracks that made him seem like he had been broken and put together multiple times and golden clothing. He was tampering with something he should not have been and Liu Kang knew he was in for another fight. 
“Is there any point to us asking you to put those back?” he asked. 
The male hardly regarded him and responded with “they said you'd come”. 
“Who said?”. 
An eerily familiar voice spoke out from the darkness, “who do you think Kung Lao?”. 
Bright red eyes. 
That's the first thing he saw. 
Three pairs of these eyes lit up in the darkness, and the only time Liu Kang was able to focus on anything other than that, is when they all came fully into view. They were you, but a twisted version. The versions of you that were corrupted and no longer cared for Earthrealm, but about what they could gain and destroy. Your revenants. That feeling of dread got stronger and he put his body in front of yours like a shield. 
Revenant him spoke next, “welcome to your future. Courtesy of Raiden”. 
“Our future may be tragic, but it's not Lord Raiden's fault. You've all been warped by Shinnock's evil”. 
“Raiden’s continued ignorance gets others killed” revenant you said, “how many times can he excuse deaths by saying they're mistakes? While he consulted with the Elder Gods, Sindel wiped us out”. 
“Shao Kahn snapped my neck in the arena” revenant Kung Lao said. “Raiden saw it coming, and did nothing!”. 
“I would have defeated Shao Kahn, but Raiden wanted the glory. His lightning cut me down”
“No!” Liu Kang exclaimed, “I don't believe that!”. 
“One day Raiden will betray you. Then you'll believe”. 
What happened next is something Liu Kang has tried on numerous occasions to forget. It's why he tries to stay busy. As long as he's busy and his mind is preoccupied, his mind will hopefully not replay the events that happened. 
“It happened so fast” is clichè to say. He knew this, but it genuinely went by so fast. One moment he was fighting against himself, and the next everything went wrong. 
That sense of dread and fear got worse and worse and it wasn't for Kung Lao. He worried about him the normal amount you'd worry about your friend in kombat. All these feelings were about you. He had been so distracted and constantly looking over his shoulders at you, that he hadn't realized how desperate the revenants had gotten for a win. They were losing and they had to do something about that. 
Liu Kang didn't see “Kung Lao” take off his hat and throw it at him. All he remembers is seeing you run at him, colliding with the floor after you kicked him away, and the hat decapitating you. 
It was one of those moments where everything seemed to stop. In reality, he only stared at you for a few seconds. In his mind it felt as though he stared at your limp frame for hours before the blood pooling out of your neck was too much for him and he had to look away. 
He had failed… again. 
~
It seemed as though the Elder Gods enjoyed laughing at his torment because they gave him what could be his final chance. 
“Are you upset with me?” Liu Kang asked. Not too long ago he was forced to reveal the truth about the past timelines and the danger you were all in and since then you kept quiet and to yourself. He wouldn't blame you for being upset, but he really hoped you weren't. Confused or shocked, yeah. Just not upset. 
“I'm just thinking about our plan against Quan Chi and Shang Tsung” you answered quietly. He hated you weren't looking at him and for the first time ever he wished he had the power to read minds instead of fire. Maybe that was a blessing though. Your thoughts could possibly destroy him. 
“But that is not all” he challenged. “Tell me”. 
“Is that an order from my creator?”
He frowned and although he wanted to touch you, he kept his distance. “It is a request from your lover and friend”. You turned to face him and thankfully, you didn't seem upset. He expected something worse, like you yelling and looking at him and horror but instead you just looked lost. That was the best way he could describe it. 
“I'm sorry, that's not fair to you”. 
“You don't have to apologize to me. Just please, tell me what you are thinking”. You sighed and after what seemed like some debating, you stepped closer to him and grabbed his hand and the beating in his chest slowed. 
“Were we lovers in the past timeline?”, he nodded and he had a feeling he knew where this was going. “We are replacements for what you lost and that means-”
“No” he said louder than he planned to. 
“The memories you have with me aren't actually with me. I'm not the actual person you're in love with. You want me because you want her”
“You're wrong” his voice came out stern and his eyebrows lowered, “the reason I am yours is because I adore everything about you. I brought you back because I valued who you are as a person, but I was not drawn to you because of who you were”. He brought your hand to his cheek, the feeling being familiar in a painful yet comforting way. “I see you for you, and our memories are ours to make”. 
You smiled at him and instead of feeling relief, a familiar feeling of dread creeped up on him. 
No… no this wouldn't happen again. It couldn't. 
His calm facade slipped and the pain of the memory showed on his face. He tried to cover it up, but he was too slow. “Memories?”, you asked. He nodded. “What happened to us in the past timeline?”. 
He shook his head, wanting the memories to go away. “A story for another time” he replied grimly and stepped away from you. As bad as it sounded, Liu Kang didn't want to love you. He wanted to bring everyone back, including you, but he wanted nothing to do with you romantically. A mentor type of relationship would hopefully make the possibility of losing you hurt less, but fate brought you back together again. When fate brought you together, it always seems to cut you down. Two steps forward and three steps back. 
“I don't know if this will help, but if something terrible happened to me… I don't blame you. None of us blame you for any of our untimely deaths”
“I don't blame you for my death”
That was the last thing you said to him. 
Your words were so similar yet different, and that uneasy feeling got stronger. 
“Perhaps it would be best if you stayed behind” he tried to say as calmly as he could. Maybe this was the wrong decision, but he didn't wanna scare you and telling you about your untimely deaths in both timelines seemed like the wrong idea. 
“What?” You asked confused, “we need all hands on deck. I'll be fine”. 
“You can help in your own way”
“How?”. He hadn't thought of a task or an excuse to use and as he tried to rack his brain for an answer, you spoke again “for your sake I can stay right on your tail. You'll always know I'm right there but Liu…” your hand found his again, “over worrying only leads to bad things. Remember that”. 
What he felt next was weird. He considered your words and as he did so, that feeling of dread started to slip away. He didn't understand why and he didn't realize what the best course of action was until it was too late. 
You accompanied him and many others to stop Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and that went as well as anyone with his luck could expect. He had found out Shang Tsung from the original timeline was still alive and actively trying to destroy his era of peace, and then to make matters worse, an evil Raiden and Sindel made their appearance. Raiden was simple but being there and watching Sindel challenge them all gave him memories he didn't even have. 
He wondered if this is what happened to the past version of you. He wondered how different it was. He knew Sindel killed you and other kombatants. Is this how it happened? His attention went to you and that feeling of dread got stronger and stronger. 
This was it. This is when it'd happen. 
He stayed close to you the entire time and since he was so distracted, Sindel took the opportunity to use her hair to grab both your ankles and knock you both down. 
Liu Kang saw you try to get up to assist Sindel with her evil counterpart, and he gripped your ankle and pulled you towards him. 
“What are you doing?!” he saw how angry you were and he hated it, but he'd hate you dying even more. He kept a grip on you, so concerned with keeping you down, that he stopped paying attention to Sindel. He was only alerted to what had happened when he heard Kitana and Mileena scream. 
Sindel had been fatally wounded. 
Guilt pushed down on his shoulders and he let you go. Why couldn't he do both? Protect you and save Sindel? Then he felt even more guilty because he let out a sigh of relief when he realized that he broke the cycle. He won! 
He won. 
He won?
Why did that feeling of dread get stronger?
~
The feeling of dread and death got so strong, his shoulders actually felt weight on them. It felt like multiple people were pushing his shoulders down, while he tried his best to stand up. 
One last battle was left and he knew you absolutely could not go. This timeline must've been different. It made sense. The first one Sindel killed you, the second one revenant Kung Lao killed you. It must be the battle that kills you in this timeline. 
He couldn't let that happen. 
“You've gone mad if you think I'll stay here!” You weren't exactly taking his command the best, but he knew this was for the better. This battle had to be what would kill you. You had to stay far away and locked away. 
“I realize now what I must do to save you. You have to stay here until the battle is over. You'll be safe”. He tried to stay calm, hoping it'd ease your mood but it seemed to do the opposite. You weren't known to be angry, so seeing you look so bitter and hateful made his heart ache but he knew he was making the right decision. 
“You're insane. I have to help” you tried to walk away but he grabbed your wrist and pulled you towards him harder than he meant to. 
“No! Do as I say” he meant for it to come out commanding, but there was an edge of pleading. “Have faith in me”. 
“Faith?” You gawked, “faith? In you? What about you having faith in me?!” You yanked your wrist away from him and rubbed it. “I could've helped Sindel and saved her life, but you kept me down!”
“Sindel would have killed you! Forgive me if I can't allow that”
“So my life is more special than everyone else's? You let everyone fight, get hurt and die but somehow I'm more special? Do you not see how twisted that is?”. He didn't wanna think about it that way. He felt awful after Sindel's death, but he would've been paralyzed if it was you instead. It made him feel guilty, as if he personally killed Sindel himself. It wasn't like that though! You wouldn't have stood a chance! Why couldn't you see that?
“You never let me do anything. I love you, but you suffocate me! I can't be more than two steps away from you without there being a problem”. He was protecting you like he knew he had to. 
“I worry-”
“You worry too much! What good comes from being paranoid? I've said it before. Only bad things happen when you over worry”. You tried to walk away again and he grabbed your wrist again. 
“I can't let you fight with us!”
“Why can't I be your champion?!” You shouted. “Why Raiden instead of me?!”
“He won-”
“He won a mini tournament you didn't even let me participate in, even after I asked you to!”. You were right. He remembers you begging for days, but he always said no. He made the excuse that you were better by his side and for immediate support but in reality, you in Mortal Kombat was a risk he didn't want to take. 
You did something he didn't expect next. You pulled out the amulet Raiden was supposed to have, out of your pocket. “This should be mine”. 
“How do you have that?”
“Raiden is easy to steal from. I don't know how he's survived this long” you said dismissively. He didn't like it. That amulet gave you more confidence and he couldn't afford that. You'd understand why he was so protective once the fight was over. 
“It doesn't belong to you for a reason. You're not Earthrealm's champion for a reason. You can't fight in this war for a reason”
“You want to lock me up like I'm your enemy! Like I'm a prisoner! I'm not Bi-Han!”
“You are not a prisoner. You're protected”
You let out a frustrated sigh and took a moment to collect your thoughts. “I'll return this, but when are you gonna realize the only way we're gonna work is if you let me out this cage you built?”. The sudden softness of your words took him by surprise and his grip loosened enough so you could slip your wrist out. 
You walked away and the further you got, the more that pressure eased up on his shoulders. It didn't make sense. Why was that feeling changing now when you were leaving him? You weren't supposed to leave! You were supposed to stay here, safe and sound and wait for him to come back to you!
His mind was moving fast and without truly thinking, he shot fire in front of you. “Stop!”
He regretted it immediately. You had no warning and as the fireball passed you, it burnt one of your hands badly. You screamed and held your hand with your other, trying to soothe a wound he knew wouldn't stop aching that fast. 
His heart sunk and he froze. To say he felt awful would be an understatement. He wasn't quite sure how to place it, but “bad” or “awful” weren't the right words. He never meant to actually harm you. It was the last thing he wanted to do. 
Feelings of dread reached an all time high when you turned around, a mix of hurt and rage on your face. “You'd hurt me to make me stay?! Enough of your madness! If I have to fight you, then so be it!”. 
He felt the same feeling he had when he watched you die. Everything was so fast, yet slow at the same time. 
You pulled out the amulet and lightning flew. Liu Kang shot fire at it and that's when he realized his mistake. 
A reaction happened and since the lighting was attached to the amulet, all that power surged back at you, throwing you back and severely burning you. 
“By the gods! No!” he shouted and ran towards your body, which seized before going limp. 
No. This was not meant to happen. 
This isn't what he wanted. 
He held your now bloody and burnt form, hoping that someone you'd make a recovery. He wanted to scream and burn everything down to the ground. How did he manage to fail again?!
“Forgive me…” he muttered. 
You said nothing in return. 
As he sat there in complete silence, the smell of burnt flesh filling his nose and tears falling down his face, he thought back to your words from before. 
“Over worrying only leads to bad things. Remember that”. 
“You worry too much! What good comes from being paranoid? I've said it before. Only bad things happen when you over worry”.
That's when it hit him. 
Your death to Sindel may have not been his fault, but him carrying the guilt of your death plus others clouded his judgment. He refused to listen to reason. He attacked Raiden and he was killed because of it. 
He was so focused and worried about you during your battle against the revenants, that he became sloppy. If he was focused, he would've noticed Kung Lao throwing his hat at him. He would've reacted in time. You wouldn't have had to kick him away and you wouldn't have died. 
If he let you go, you could've helped and saved Sindel. 
If he let you join the final battle instead of being paranoid, he wouldn't have accidentally harmed you and you wouldn't have attacked him. He wouldn't have had to fight back and you wouldn't have died. 
If he wasn't so paranoid to begin with, you wouldn't have been as frustrated and maybe you would've actually stayed behind. 
How did he not see it before? He gave up his power as a Titan, fearing he'd go insane like Kronika, but in his own way he had done the same thing. His need to protect became over worrying and that became paranoia and he allowed it to destroy himself and worst of all, he allowed it to destroy you and your relationship. 
The crushing feeling getting lighter when you talked about him letting you go, or you walking away, was because that's what he was supposed to do. There was nothing wrong with protecting, but his paranoia led to your downfall more than once. Maybe there were even more timelines that ended in your death or both of your deaths. 
The more he understood, the more his chest burned and the louder his sobs got. How could he have been so blind? How many times had he failed? Why did the Elder Gods punish him instead of the actual evil people in the world? He wasn't perfect by any means, but where was this sort of punishment for people like Shao? Or Shang Tsung? Or Quan Chi? Or anyone else who had wickedness in their heart and fed off chaos and strife? Why did he have to suffer such a cruel fate over and over again?
Maybe if he could somehow get his powers back or see if Geras could reverse time or erase this timeline and start again, he could do better. 
He could erase all he did wrong. He could keep his era of peace. He could save everyone. He could save you. 
All he needed was one more chance. 
Although I think this is buns, the reader’s death mimicking Liu Kang’s death in MK9 eats down

Given the extremely violent bloody trailer for the game, the chamber music and awkward quips between the characters feel jarringly funny, but then you remember this is Critical Role, and how could it be anything else 😂 the great bit is that they also have the bloody gore, because they're also like that, but it's just. a balanced meal. you will laugh and recoil in horror
