Shared Kiss - Rui x Reader
Synopsis: Rui wants to protect you, so, so badly. But will he hurt you more?
Word Count: 446 words
‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿
Rui passed you a drink, the liquid nearly spilling over. It never did though, no matter how many times he slid glasses.
You grab the cocktail– mocktail for today. You didn’t feel well today, and you didn’t know if you’d feel better. Only a few months remained before the curse overtook you and turned you into a mindless beast. The stress caught up to you today, and Rui could tell.
He could always tell.
“For you, it’s on the house!” It’s always on the house for you, but he never had that part out loud. It showed through anytime you came to the bar. Anytime you needed help. Anytime you needed him.
Swirling the drink, then taking a sip. It was made to your tastes, suited just for you. “It’s really good, thank you.”
“I could tell you needed a pick me up.” He leans on the counter in front of you with a smile. And frankly, he was right. Going on cases takes its toll, and you look ragged.
You sigh and bury your head into your arms. “Good to know.” You grumble. From the corner of your eye, you could see Rui reach out to you.
You’ve seen him nearly touch you several times. When you run into danger for Lyca, his hand instinctively reaches out to you. He wants nothing more than to protect you, who he holds dear.
But he knows he’ll hurt you more than he can protect you. His blood turns cold, which makes him freeze every time. In an attempt to protect you, what if he accidentally touches you?
“Don’t worry MC, you always look as pretty as can be!” His hand retreats like a wounded soldier. Rather him than you, he thinks.
You raised your head to really look at him. He looked slightly haggard himself, though poorly disguised. What a hypocrite!
You point a finger at him and purse your dry lips. “What about you? You also look exhausted…”
He raised both hands in admission and a sheepish laugh, “Haha caught me there! The bar’s been so busy lately, I’ve barely had a moment to take a break. Until you came, cutie!”
You snort a laugh and push the drink over to him. “Sounds like you need this just as much as me then.”
He hesitantly took the cup and drank from it. Would this technically be his first kiss? It was elementary school logic to consider something like sharing a kiss, but… it was everything Rui could hope for. He looked at you, a smile playing on your lips.
Oh, you had realized the same silly notion.
Rui took a slow long sip, enjoying every moment.

Rui x Reader who is really affectionate, but can't touch him because of The Curse.
A/N: I'm alive!! Rui my beautiful beautiful tragic boy. I've actually been having a lot of brainrot for this game, particularly an isekai AU that made me contemplate making RP blog (I love you guys btw. This is probably my first fandom where they're so active, I've been really well connected with this fandom somehow and it's so fun!!), so I figured I might as well be writing it down now. This is an idea I've had spinning in my head for a while, so it's VERY self-indulgent/insert, but enjoy!! AO3 link here
Rui's POV. Second-person pronoun "You" is used. Angst! But also fluff!! (825 words)
You’ve always been an affectionate little thing. It’s something Rui finds adorable about you, staying optimistic despite all that looms over you, not letting any of the ghouls he KNOWS can be more than a little much sometimes destroy your positive attitude. It’s as if you decided to be the light in a place that literally has dark in its name, and he lov admires you for that.
He can’t help but feel the bitter green of envy though, when he watches you ruffle Lyca’s hair after he whines at you for treating him like a dog.
He pointedly turns away from the look Ed gives him over your head when you relax into his chest after he leans over your shoulder.
He just laughs along at your drunken antics when you nuzzle into Haru’s hand, somehow even more touchy when your cheeks are flushed with alcohol.
He tries not to remember the flash of hurt, confusion, the first time he’d backed away from your hand when all you wanted to do was give him a pat for a job well done. He doesn’t know if it hurt more when your face morphed into regretful understanding, or when you apologised and told him you’d try not to do it again.
Rui tells himself it’s for the better when he notices you’ve been avoiding him for the past week. He’d have done the same to you anyway, if he realised his feelings were starting to fester. He tries to not let it get to him when he hears you enter the Obscuary mansion, only to quickly patter up the stairs without stopping by the bar first, as you would have done previously.
Maybe before, he would have made it a little competition to see who could mess up the other’s hair more. He’d watched you run your fingers through Lyca’s after you’d tousled it out of place, anyway. Maybe in another life, you’d gently hold his face as you showered him with kisses. He’d do the same to you anyway, if he wasn’t forced to keep his hands to himself.
If he didn’t notice you hold your hand back every time you saw his mask slip. If he didn’t see your hand stop short before pulling it back to tell him he had a bit of hair out of place.
It’s all just part of the cursed life, he tells himself. He should be getting used to it by now, he sighs as he walks down the hall over to his room.
Behind him, he hears the jingle of the bell you like to wear on your keychain. He turns at the sound of your quick steps approaching.
“Rui! Ruiruiruiii!!” You call.
“Ah, there you are! Haha, I’m not going anywhere you know~ though I guess I don’t mind being chased?” He teases as you approach.
You smile up at him brightly, “I have something to show you!” You tell him, he notices now that you have a hand behind your back.
“Hm? Aw, did you get me a gift? And here I was thinking you were hiding from me!” He regrets the words the moment they leave his mouth. Your smile falters a bit as you blink at his confession.
But before he can backtrack with a “Just kidding!” your smile lightens again, eyes filling with some sort of resolve as you pull out… a glove on a stick? in your other hand.
He doesn’t pull away when he feels the simulation of a hand on his head. He can’t, when you look into his eyes with such unmistakable fondness. The awkward, stilted movements as you try to run the imitation hand through his hair communicates how long you’ve wanted to do this, and the tears that well up in his eyes betray how much he’s needed it.
He feels the cloth soak up the tears when you move the glove down to hold his face. It feels soft under his skin, and he can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.
“How long did it take you to make this?” He asks as you let him lace his fingers with your hand extension. He squeezes the plush hand, feeling the soft give before it reaches the stick inside, inspecting where the glove and stick are attached.
“Um! A week? It took a bit of experimenting to get it to stay on… And they don’t really sell gloves on campus either.”
Your eyes crinkle when you look at him, the corners of your lips pull up triumphantly when he lets go of the hand to let you pat his head again.
“You deserve at least this much,” you tell him. “I know it’s not really the same or anything, but I don’t wanna leave you out, y’know?”
“It was worth it though, if it made you happy.” You look into his eyes as you say this, and he can’t help but believe you.
Reblogs and Comments are appreciated! I love you (◍•ᴗ•◍)��✧*。

Virtual Intimacy (Rui x Reader)
Based off my silly headcannons for the ghouls!
Beginning notes;
Originally this wasn't gonna be an x reader, but plans change! things happen! And I couldn't pass up the opportunity of Rui fluff with a tinge of angst
I also realized this is my first tkdb x reader? Yay me!
sfw, GN Reader, Reader and Rui are dating, fluff,
You were scrolling aimlessly through WickChat when Rui, your beloved boyfriend, texted you.
Hey my little bunny 😘
"Bunny". That's what he called you. You used to think it was cheesey, but the name has grown on you.
You free to come over? I just had the greatest idea ✨
-An idea?
Yup yup! You'll have to come over and see! ❣️
You couldn't help but feel a little curious. Rui always knew exactly how to keep you hooked.
-I'll be over soon <3
Yay!!! See you soon, bunny
You smirked at your phone before turning it off and shoving it into your pocket and making your way out of your room.
Because of Rui's curse, the two of you couldn't be physically affectionate in any way, so you've come up with other ways to show your love. You usually change it up every month or so to keep things fresh.
Lately you've been giving him a new succulent every time you come over to Obscuary to see him. There was something kind of romantic about nurturing a plant and giving it to a loved one for them to care for. This time, you were going to give him your string-of-pearls plant. You almost felt a little bad, bombarding him with all these succulents, but the image of his bright smile washed away any doubt that they were a burden.
Before you knew it, you were at the front door of the gothic Obscuary mansion. You reach your hand outward to knock on the door, but it swings open before you can even lift your hand above your waist.
"Bunny! There you are!"
You're greeted by an enthusiastic Rui, smiling widely at you.
"Hey, Rui! I brought you another succulent- I hope you don't mind..."
You present Rui with a small pot, no bigger than the average person's hand, with the string-of-pearls rooted inside it. He takes great care not to touch you even with his gloved hands as he lifts the pot from you.
"Aw, thank you, bunny! You're such a sweetheart"
Rui holds the door open for you as you step into the victorian abode.
"C'mon, I need you to help me find the perfect spot for this little guy."
He gestures for you to follow him, leading you into his room. Rui scans over a long shelf filled with succulents, looking for the perfect spot for his new plant baby. You watch him with adoration as you crawl into his bed and hug one of his pillows. It's the closest thing you have to actually hugging him.
"So- about that 'great idea' you had..."
Rui turns his head towards you with a grin.
"I wanted you to play one of my favorite games with me!"
You cock your head as you squeeze the pillow tighter. He makes his way to his computer, logging in and booting up The Sims 4.
"I thought it'd be fun if we made each other in game! I'll go first, mkay?"
You nod along and pull up a chair beside him, trying to get as close as you can without putting yourself in danger. You watch as Rui quickly gets to work, making a sim in your image. His eyes dart around the catalog as he finds the perfect clothes for your virtual twin.
"What do you think of this, bunny? isn't it cute?"
"Eh... it's not really my style"
Rui pouts a little.
"You're right, my bad!"
He quickly clicks through each clothing tab, looking for the perfect outfit with an intense focus. You stare deeply into his concentrated magenta eyes. It's kind of adorable seeing him so passionate about something.
"You're... really into this, aren't you?"
"Of course! I wanna make sure I get every single detail of your beautiful self as accurately as possible!"
Rui smiles at you before pushing himself off the desk and rolling away in his chair.
"Bunny~! It's your turn to make me~!"
You scooch forward in your chair and grab hold of the mouse. It's still warm from Rui's touch. He watches you with adoration as you explore the UI of the game. You hesitantly begin molding the virtual avatar into the image of Rui, a little afraid that he wouldn't like your version of him. Every time you glance back over at him for reference, he gives you a smile or blows you a kiss.
"Sorry... I'm not as good at this game as you are..."
You apologize after finishing the digital clone. Rui happily pulls himself back in front of the desk as he looks at your work.
"Wow bunny! It looks just like me!"
With a weak smile, you watch as Rui skillfully clicks through text boxes and confirmation popups.
"What city do you think we should live in? San Myshuno? Maybe Willow Creek? Ooh how about De Sol Valley or Windenberg?"
You stare blankly at your boyfriend who's practically speaking gibberish to you.
"Let's.... just go with Willow Creek. It's a classic."
You nod along, still not understanding a thing.
"I usually build my own houses when I play, but I'm so super excited to play with you! So, pre-made lot it is!"
"Mmh-hm...okay"
It was obvious you felt completely out of your element, but Rui seemed to be enjoying your company regardless.
"You wanna decorate the house before we play?"
"It's fine as is. Besides, you look like you're gonna pass out from how restless you are to actually get into the game."
"Guilty~!! You know me so well, Bunny!"
You let out a little laugh at Rui's compliment. Your adorable boyfriend wastes no time before laughing with you.
"Mkay, this is what I wanted to show you so super badly!!"
You raise your eyebrows as Rui clicks away at more text bubbles.
"Ready? Ready?"
Not even waiting for your response, Rui clicks one last time before the digital avatars you made wrap their arms around each other in a tight hug. It obviously didn't make you feel any of the physical stimuli gained from hugging, but it was sweet to see yourself hugging your beloved boyfriend. It's something the both of you fantasize about often, but seeing it so vividly, even if it's just in a game, gives you both a warm tingling feeling of joy.
Rui looks at you eagerly with his bright charming smile.
"So? Did you like the surprise??"
You smile back at him while you squeeze your knee as if to squeeze his.
"I did."
It wasn't as groundbreaking or exciting as if you were actually able to hold him, but you could tell by Rui's expression that this was a big thing for him.
"Great!! 'Cus there's so much more we could do in the game!! We can kiss and cuddle and get married and have kids!! If you want, of course!"
Rui ecstatically beams, his smile like a bright light in the deep abyss of the ocean. His sweet and genuine grin warmed you right up like a ray of sunshine.
"I love you, Rui."
You say, just barely whispering. And somehow, his smile widens even more.
"I love you too, Bunny."
Ending Notes;
Woohoo!! (pun intended) I'm finally finished with this!!!

On Tohma's Birthday Tarot: hey isn't this reversed
idk if everyone else knew this already but i saw this and went holllyyy shit holy shit
The JP account for TKDB has revealed Tohma's birthday card! I'll link it here in case it counts as a spoiler: https://x.com/tokyodebunkerJP/
Anyways, something fascinating that this card tells us is that the orientations of the tarot cards matter. I didn't think much of it at first with Rui because it's hard to tell whether he's upside down or just falling, but with Tohma's card release I'm absolutely certain. The rain is falling upside down in his card!
The rain is a part of the traditional Three of Swords card design, which shows us a heart with three swords stabbing into it underneath a raining sky. The fact that the rain is falling upwards means that it's almost certainly meant to tell us that Tohma is Three of Swords reversed.
Furthermore, if you look at the meaning of the Three of Swords: Upright seems to mean pain, disappointment, betrayal, etc. While reversed seems to say that it's time to let go/in the process of letting go, healing, optimism, etc.
Considering Tohma's role in Jin's life and his active movement towards trying to reconcile Jin and Alan in whatever their love triangle drama is, I would think the reversed card fits him quite well.
It also implies that the swords are there next to Tohma because he's been removing them from his chest. The swords on the ground seem to be the ones he's discarded, and he's in the process of removing the very last one. It makes sense, narratively, because the last we saw of their crisis is when he confronted Jin with Alan at his side he's getting close to moving on properly.
Even in his tarot card, he's in active defiance of that heartache innate to the Three of Swords... That's so cool, Tohma!!! 💪 I mean, Imagine being assigned the the card that is traditionally a bunch of swords stabbed into a heart because it symbolizes emotional trials where your relationships are to strain and possibly even break and then you🔥remove🔥the🔥swords!!!! Tohma the GOAT!!!
In regards to Rui, also: Now that you look at his card, doesn't it seem like the flower petals above his hand are actually falling upwards? I thought that maybe they were thrown, or floating nebulously, but it seems like he's a true Death Reversed tarot. Death upright usually is associated with change and an end of a phase rather than death of life, or anything. It tends to symbolize that a person should let go, and something new will start. In contrast, death reversed shows a fear of change that keeps you stagnant, decay due to routine, and refusing to grow... It's a bit worse than death upright.
That fits Rui better than the upright one though, right? Considering how conflicted he looks about his curse whenever it comes up, and how compliant he is with Darkwick most of the time... it seems like he's having quite a hard time.
Also, on a completely different note: is Leo eating a grape in his tarot card because his gum is grape flavored? That's hilarious lmfao

@titanloveraaaaa ,
Your romantic matchup is…
Subaru Kagami!


❥ So I’m very much aware that Suba is your favorite, but that’s not why I paired you up with him. Admittedly, it definitely helped to know that you like him but I picked him because you two are similar and he does fit your criteria the best in my opinion. When it comes to personality, I find him to be the most like you out of all the ghouls. Other people may describe the both of you as meek, mature, and kind, but you see yourselves in a very different light. You both seem to have a more nihilistic view of the world. With Subaru, he views humans as much more vile and despicable creatures than anomalies. Not that he totally hates humanity as a whole, but he’s definitely critical towards them. You on the other hand don’t really have any positive world views, so I think this would be an area of mutual understanding of the other.
❥ While you both enjoy being of service to other people, you’re more low energy and become anxious from talking to others too much. I feel like romantically pairing you with someone higher energy would be draining so I figured Subaru was perfect. He’s not all that talkative and as a partner, I think he’s the type who prefers to just soak in your presence. Given that the both of you don’t have the most positive world views, I think you guys would have your fair share of deep conversations— conversations about anomalies, humans, and other world matters. You could even bring up psychology and he’d listen to you. But there would also be many periods of comfortable silence, again he’s just the type that likes to soak in your presence.
❥ Knowing you, I know that you have a more raunchy or goofy sense of humor (as can be proven by your “I have a dick” comment and the posts you send me). Now, if you ever happen to mess with him, Subaru will be very caught off guard. He’ll make that face where his eyes go all wide and he’ll stammer like crazy, so good luck! I feel like he might be bold with you at times too though, so it’s not always a one way thing. I do think he likes to take charge sometimes but it’ll be when you least expect it.
❥ I think Subaru is similar to you in the sense that he appreciates the more meaningful and pretty things in life. Art, music, and nature would be examples of that. And on that note, a lot of your dates would be related to any of those. I think he’d prefer to spend time with you within the privacy of the Hotarubi dorms. Card games, drawing together, conversing, walks, and anything else that allows him to just soak in your presence is ideal for him. You guys don’t even have to be doing the same activity as long as you’re just there with him. And whenever you come over to the Hotarubi dorms to spend time with him, he’ll bring out a special tea blend and some snacks for you! It’s constantly raining in Hotarubi so it’ll overall be very cozy.
❥ Given that the Hotarubi dorms are surrounded by water, Subaru would also take you around on a row boat. Again, it’s constantly raining so he’ll keep an umbrella for the both of you. No one really ventures in those waters so the atmosphere would be very serene and intimate. It would be just the two of you rowing around and taking in the surrounding wisteria trees and tranquil waters.
❥ I do think Subaru’s main love language would be acts of service. Keeping an extra umbrella, brewing up tea blends to help with your stomach issues, and even keeping snacks specifically for you on him would be things that he does for you. Subaru would love and cherish every bouquet of flowers and cat that you sculpt! I know that you said you don’t expect anything in return, but I do think he’d give you flowers in return. He’s always careful to arrange the bouquets in an aesthetically pleasing way and wraps them up with a little ribbon accompanied by a small note.
❥ While being meek isn’t a defining quality, Subaru is still very gentle. He’s very polite and never wants to overstep any of your boundaries. Because of this, I think he’s very observant and notices the small things about you. Even when you guys start to date, he’s always asking for permission to hold your hand or asking “is this okay?” whenever he initiates any sort of physical touch. More than anything, he doesn’t want to risk making you feel uncomfortable, so he watches your reactions. He notices the small things about you to ensure he doesn’t break a boundary.
❥ Overall, Subaru is very attentive as a boyfriend. His presence is soothing and his touch is gentle yet intentional. He'll constantly look after you and is a very open communicator.
Your moodboard

Runner Up... Rui Mizuki
Your platonic matchup is...
Zenji Kotodama!


❥ So I was originally going to give you Rui, but Rui was actually a close runner up for the romantic matchup and I didn’t want to give you the same character twice, so my mind went to the next best option for the platonic matchup!
❥ Given that you got paired with Subaru romantically you’ll likely spend a lot of time in Hotarubi, which means seeing Zenji a lot! I think you and Zenji would get along very well even from the start. Given how eccentric and amiable he is and how influenced you are by others, I think he’d bring out your silly side! And yeah, he won’t really understand the cat stuff but he likes cats so he’ll go along with it.
❥ When it comes to interests, you and Zenji share a lot in common. You both appreciate the arts in one form or another. Zenji doesn’t draw, but I think he’d really appreciate your art. He might even get inspiration from it! You two both write, so I think that could be an activity that you two bond over. Zenji would be elated to find out that you write too and from that point on, he’ll recite everything that he writes back to you. However, I will warn you, when he opens his mouth he doesn’t stop. He might start out by reading you one of his pieces but then the conversation will steer into a totally unrelated topic.
❥ Not going to lie either, I feel like he’d act as your wingman when he finds out about you and Subaru. Him and Subaru have been friends for a while so I could imagine he’d only want the best for him. You’re also another good friend to Zenji, so I think he’d like to see his two best friends happy together!
❥ Overall, Zenji is a wonderful friend. He’s a bit of a worry wart so he might eavesdrop on your conversations sometimes or warn you if he feels that something bad is about to happen, but it all comes from a good place. He may not be Subaru, but he definitely gets excited when you come over to the Hotarubi dorms.

@sweetlikevanilaaa,

I sent my replies! ₊˚⊹ ᰔ
Your romantic match up is...
Rui Mizuki 𖹭.ᐟ
✿ At first I have difficulties to choose between Rui or Sho, since I see both have the patience to really know you and have emotional intelligence (friends to lover trope fr). But if you're looking for the one who's gonna make the first move and to be the lead, I see Rui is more perfect for this since Sho is kinda laid back and have slow pace in relationship.
✿ Be fr, he has a whole curse that prevent him to touch any living being (which in here I assume his curse already broken before you two dates), this result in him being touch starving. He's gonna be content even if you two just cuddle and doing nothing, bask in each other presence. Plus, He's so used to do everything in Obscuary, He used to do anything by himself but will not hesitate to lean on you once you’re close to him.
✿ I can see he bought all of the love languange, not really holding back himself to spoil you (you can't blame him, he's been waiting this for so long), but at the same time he knows when to let you have your space. Being in Obscuary and nurture his team, he learned to instantly recognize and respond to what people need.
✿ You both give off that “I’m the one my friends vent to” energy — the type who’s known for being strong and reliable. But with each other, you’d finally have someone to soften with. Rui would cherish being your safe space, and in turn, he’d find peace in being seen and cared for without having to put up a front.
✿ Rui would definitely be drawn to your kindness and warmth. You're sweet, you uplift others, and your presence is healing, that’s something Rui would be quietly mesmerized by. You bring light into every room you enter, and he’d find that addictive. I can see him being totally surprised (but lowkey delighted) by your sass and raunchy humor. It’s that contrast between your sweet exterior and chaotic side that would catch him off guard and he’d absolutely match your energy when you least expect it.
✿ You're clean, tidy, and love order. This man literally manages half of Obscuary. He’s organized, he cleans, he cooks, he bartends. He’d definitely respect your rules about no shoes on the bed and would never mess with your cleaning routine (He totally gets the pain of a messy space. After all, he lives with an old grandpa and has to keep things in order constantly). He even would love to help you to clean your room and keeping everything organized (I can see he's a clean freak too since his motherly instinct always kick in).
✿ Your sentimental nature would really resonate with him. You keep wrappers, notes, and little memories and Rui would remember every detail (He's a hard yearner, real). He has an impeccable memory too. He’d know exactly how you take your tea, what plush you sleep with, and what perfume you wore the first day you met. He’d keep the ribbon from your first gift to him in a drawer somewhere, no doubt.
✿ He’s protective in that quiet, dependable way. Rui watches out for everyone without needing credit, but with you? He’d go out of his way to make sure you felt safe, emotionally and physically. You mentioned you get overwhelmed during conflict, and Rui would never push you. He’d be the calming presence by your side, grounding you with his voice and presence when things get too loud.
✿ I think Rui would court you in the quietest, most intentional way. Not with grand gestures, but through the kind of care that seeps in slowly and stays. He'd start by try to understand you fully before making a move. Instead of flashy words, he’d offer small, thoughtful acts like his steady presence beside you when the world feels too loud. Rui wouldn't rush you. He’d let things unfold naturally, spending quiet evenings by your side, listening more than speaking, always making sure you feel safe. And when he finally confesses, it wouldn't be dramatic, just a simple truth, spoken softly, like, “I don’t want to imagine my days without you anymore.” With him, you'd feel not only loved but truly seen, held by a bond that’s deep, quiet, and unshakably real.
Your moodboard ⊹ ࣪ ˖
Your runner up is… Alan!
✿ He's a little bit at loss for word when facing your friendly attitude but it actually make him happy. over all your time with him, he start to develop some fondness with you being there. But he's a stiff man when it comes to romance so he always take a step back even before he start when it comes to this.
Your platonic matchup is...
Romeo S. Lucci ⋆✴︎˚。⋆
✿ I know it maybe suprising, but the first thought that came to my mind as to your platonic friendship, I could think nothing but Romeo. He's a beuty freak that really care about his skincare and anything relate to it. You know him being a total clean freak and always strict with his own standard.
✿ You being a clean obsess will be matching his standard and will always found a topic to talk because your interest align so perfectly in my opinion. I could picture you both mainly talk about skincare routine, cleaning standard, and maybe some gossip.
✿ You being a positive person that could still stand even after receiving his harsh critic probably would impress him, but he will not say it loudly. He maybe sound harsh, but when he finally soften up after you still stay the same when receiving his end nagging and critic, he would be your best gossip companion ever.
✿ Sure, he will be a little taken aback a little knowing your sassy and mean side when you both got close, but rather than feeling offended (a little actually, but ignore it. he'll be fine I promise) he feel your snarky reply a good thing. Don't want someone just could trample his people easily and let off without any proper fight, doesn't he? Still, if he ever found that, I bet he's the one in fire to fight this people.

Taking a break from writing to make this Venn diagram. Me when. A fucking blonde guy apparently
Elaboration and extra notes:
I clocked the 3/4 UNDEAD from the very start but writing Rui and having Kaoru on the mind is messing with me I think
Friends with a mean bitch and guy with too much energy: Izumi/Romeo and Chiaki/Haru
They actually both have mommy issues to me because. Look at this guy.
I wanted to talk about the War/Clash because the first time the Clash was mentioned my first response was ENSTARS REFERENCE???
I feel like Kaoru is way more open with a lot of his feelings, so some of these are more accurate to !-era Kaoru than !!
I wanna say they both are malewife and have self-destructive tendencies, but Kaoru isn't enough of either of those things to me
Normal one of the group: Kaoru has his whole "human of UNDEAD" shtick, but Rui is interesting. Outside of the curse, he's kinda just. Some guy. He wants to be some guy soooo bad. But the curse.
But he's still the normal one of the group compared the the guy who's 400 years old and the guy who was in prison for 2 years because of racism and has no social skills
Anyway I love them both

TKDB NSFW Alphabet - Rui Mizuki
Note: The Haku NSFW Alphabet was received quite well. Thank you so much for the lovely comments (and tags because I saw all the wonderful things y'all said there too)
As promised, I'll be continuing this series. Though probably quite slowly since I'm busy with work and other irl stuff.
Also, for this one, let's just all assume that all the stuff happening here is right after Rui finally breaks his curse :)
Minors don't interact!
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
He's a really great fella with a great personality. It doesn't end when you two are done having sex. He'll shower you with kisses, massage all your sore spots lovingly while asking you if you had fun or are you hurting somewhere. He'll happily clean you up and get you everything you need such as food and snacks before he gets cozy and cuddles with you.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
It's canon that Rui takes pride in his looks. I think he's mentioned it jokingly in the homescreen lines that it's his only redeeming feature (I disagree because it's only ONE of his many great features, but I'm just biased). Rui is handsome and he knows it. He knows he can charm people easily, but none of that would really matter if he couldn't charm you.
On his partner.. Rui can be a bit greedy. He just doesn't like one body part of yours. He loves your neck, shoulders, chest and breasts. He would litter them with his marks, branding you as his. He'd admire his works after and the blooming red-purple love marks will only make him want you more.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Rui likes doing it raw so he'd also most likely enjoy cumming inside of his partner. If you're not using any protection, and didn't want him to cum inside of you, he'd just quickly pull out. He's already mastered the art of pulling out lol
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
I think he sorta fantasizes about having sex while both of you are inebriated or under the influence of some kind of aphrodisiac where the two of you can barely think of anything else other than fucking each other until you pass out.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Pre-curse, he's probably had plenty of experience. Though he might need a few refresher and re-familiarization once he's freed from that curse and is allowed to have sex again.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Definitely missionary and cowgirl. He just likes seeing the expressions you make while he's making you feel good. He gets filled with so much love when he sees you working hard on top of him, riding him until you both come.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Cracks a joke or two, or lets out flirty remarks which definitely gets a reaction out of you. Though if the sex is more serious, he wouldn't even think about it because he'll be too busy fucking you.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
NGL I think Rui is one of the few TKDB men who shaves it all down there lol. He's really smooth and clean down there (you'd just want to suck his dick every time)
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
He's definitely very romantic. I just think a lot about how much he missed being so close and being able to touch anyone without the risk of killing them due to his curse. Now that he's freed, and he has you, he's going to show you just how much he wants you.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
The moment he's freed from his curse (and you become his partner), he would never masturbate again. He's grown tired of masturbating as it's the only thing he could ever do over those years when he was cursed and restricted from touching people. Whenever he'd feel horny, he'd just come visit you (or make you visit him) and fuck you to relieve his need.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
He's got a praise kink. Tell him he's done really good with work today, or that he looked really handsome with his fresh haircut and you'd end up in bed again.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
He likes having sex in the intimacy of your rooms, but he also likes to do it in his bar.. on the counter, specifically.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Lace lingerie paired with sexy stockings and garter belt and a pair of heels. And also a little sip of some alcoholic drink before you get started with your evening together.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Sharing. Ed probably teased him into sharing you with him a few times, but he's always rejected the idea. He gets a little jealous with the idea of having you look at other men other than himself, especially when it's about sex. He's not about to let another touch and pleasure you for as long as he is alive.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
He's missed getting blowjobs so he tends to be a little greedy with receiving at times? Though, he lives to see and hear your reactions when he's making you feel good so he enjoys giving you head just as much as he receives them from you.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
It's usually more sensual and slow with Rui. He always wants to show you that he worships you and the ground you walk on. Expect lots of kisses being littered all over your body, his hand caressing your skin, and sensually thrusting his hips onto you as he expresses how much he missed feeling someone this close and how thankful he is that it's you he's sharing this intimate moment now with him.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He's always game to have sex whenever you want to so it's definitely happened a few times. Your usual quickie location is his bar.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
He's happy to experiment always. He felt like it's been so long so he needs to have you suggest things so he can look them up and decide if he wants to do such new things with you. He's probably gonna find out about things he'd want to try too but, your comfort always comes first. If you don't want to do it, then it's definitely not gonna happen.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He can do about 2.. probably more if you just let him take a break. That is, if you'd even still think about continuing once he gets to cuddle with you and begins to whisper romantic stuff to you. I feel like the cuddles will be so good, they're gonna be so effective in lulling you to sleep after you have sex.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
He probably owned a few since we all know he can't touch people when he's cursed. But he's still a man with needs, so he has to find creative ways to relieve himself.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Not really much of a tease in the bedroom. When he's busy making you feel good, that's all he's pretty much thinking about. He's really down bad for you that he wouldn't dare remove his focus on you.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Quite loud, if I'm honest. If he's feeling good, he's always happy to let his partner know. Though he can hold his noises if you happen to be doing it in the Obscuary house because Lyca and Ed will definitely hear (they still hear you going at it even when you keep your voices down).
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He has this little game he plays in his head where he tries to guess what kind of underwear you're wearing. "Is it the black lace set I got her a week ago? or maybe the pink one she wore for me on the night of my birthday?"
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Quite long with an average girth. As I've said in H, he keeps himself hairless down there. His tip is extra sensitive.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
HIGH. Look, the man was deprived of physical contact for years. Once he's allowed to touch people again, he would want sex almost every day to make up for lost time.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
He gets really sleepy but he will always make sure that your needs are taken off first. Also, he likes to shower you with praises and cuddle you until you fall asleep.

In another life (What could have been, what it can still be), Part 1
A/N: Hiiii, I wanted to post the whole thing at once because I feel like it's better experienced that way cause of how they continue between each other, but I started to feel pain writing it so I'm just posting it in two parts 🙏
Rui's POV! Second-person pronoun "You" is used. Somewhat established relationship in some of them. 5 universes he could have lived + 1 he still can. Is this a Rui x reader disguised as a character study, or a character study disguised as an x reader? Your guess is as good as mine. Rui gets so so much affection in this. World’s most touch-starved man meets writer who just wants to give the guy so many headpats (3019 words)(and counting!)(This is the longest fic I've written guys) AO3 link here
The anomaly is fast, zipping around in the air, defying the very laws of gravity itself. Its eyes are bright in the dim lights of the laboratory, phasing through states of matter as Lyca jumps and slashes, his claws doing nothing as its body shifts into nothingness, then back again as Lyca lands, growling at it in frustration.
Rui can empathise, leaping aside when it dives at him another time, leaving cracks in the tile floor where he was standing. It's obviously corporeal, and he has landed a couple lucky shots at it, though it doesn't really seem to care.
“Amazing. Amazing! This goes against everything we've learned! This, this could lead to an incredible breakthrough!”
Rui hears the scientist exclaim somewhere behind him, who would've been the next victim had they not stepped in.
“Um, ma’am-” he hears you start to say, but the shouting seems to have gotten the anomaly’s attention too, as it turns to face the both of you.
“Hey, wait!” you shout, as the lady marches forward, dragging you along when you try to hold her back.
He watches the anomaly rise into the air again, glowing eyes aimed at you, now in front of the scientist as you try to push her back.
Rui tries to rush to you, warn you, arm out to push you out of harm’s way, stopping short when he remembers how that malevolent spirit looked after he had drained the life force out of it. How you had startled away from his hand after.
Then, the anomaly dives.
And he's brought back to his first mission with you. How he had hesitated then. How he had failed to keep you safe.
How he promised himself not to let it happen again.
He does the only thing he can think of.
The anomaly crashes into him just as he steps in its way.
His back hits the ground hard, the anomaly crouched over him, its clawed feet pinning him by the shoulders. Its eyes seem to shine into his soul, like a searchlight into his mind, and it opens its gaping mouth to shriek in his face.
It is loud, and then it is nothing.
Rui would be worried he'd gone deaf if he wasn't staring into its mouth, like a sea of stars in the night sky that he just can't look away from, glittering specks of colour in an endless expanse. He sees stars, planets, universes, surrounded by the vastness of space, enveloping him like a blackhole he just can't escape.
And then, everything goes dark.
2.
The sun is warm in Jabberwock, shining down on Rui as he ruffles the soft wool of the anomalous sheep, a small smile on his face.
Suddenly, he leaps back from the living creature, staring between its startled form and his ungloved hand in horror. It retreats away when Haru runs up to him.
“Rui! Wha happened? Everythin’ okay?”
Rui looks up from patting himself down, still processing everything that just happened.
“Harurin! Where- where are my gloves?”
“Huh? Whaddya need gloves for?”
Rui pauses. Looking into the distance, where the sheep are, he tries to pinpoint the one he just touched, eyes tracing the grass for piles of ash.
“You okay buddy? You look a lil tired.”
Rui turns back to his friend, worry written all over the redhead’s face, and he realises he does feel tired. Like all the energy he's accumulated over the years never existed at all. He's hasn't felt like this since-
“It's alright!” Haru interrupts his thoughts, “I can handle it for today, you go get some rest! Don't want you gettin’ heatstroke now!”
Rui almost argues, but he sees Haru start to approach, to push him toward the dorm, and instinctively takes a step back. Haru backs off in surprise, but if he's offended, Rui doesn't wait to see.
“Yeah you're right. I think I'll go back.” he says, turning back to the Jabberwock house, throwing a half-hearted wave back.
He stuffs his hands in his pockets. It's not the coolest pose to be walking in, but his hands feel too exposed to care.
He breathes in the smell of the grass and flowers on the walk back, trying to figure out how he got here in the first place. He tries to remember what happened after the darkness. The stars. The shrieking. Slamming onto the tiled floor. Stepping in to protect you. You.
He does a full body jump when he feels hands on his shoulders. You quickly let go, startled by his reaction.
“Woah! I didn't mean to scare you! You just seemed so lost, and you didn't hear me call out!” you quickly try to explain, in that flustered tone you use when you try to defend yourself.
He chuckles reassuringly, relaxing a little at your appearance. He puts everything else aside for now.
“It's okay, it’s okay. What did you need me for? You know I'd do anything you ask~” he lilts, throwing in a wink.
You giggle, handing him a case file, “I've been assigned another mission with Jabberwock, so I need you to look at this!”
He takes the file carefully, avoiding your hands, and gives you a look of confusion, “Wait, then why are you showing it to me?”
You blink. “Because Haru’s not here?”
“Shouldn't you be giving it to Towa, then?”
“Well, you're the vice-captain, so I thought…”
“You can't be showing the Obscuary vice-captain Jabberwock documents you know~” he tells you gently, shaking his head. Maybe you got confused somehow, he thinks.
But your previously raised eyebrows have become knitted, and suddenly he's not so sure.
“Lyca’s not vice-captain yet. Subaru and I barely even got him out of trouble with the general students,” you say, slowly. “And you're the Jabberwock vice.”
That can't be right. Your voice feels far away as he tries to piece everything together. Maybe he really is just tired, because suddenly everything isn't making sense, and he's just not used to it because he hasn't had this little energy since the curse and-
He feels a warmth on his forehead. It's comforting, even under the sun. Grounding him back to reality.
Your face is close to his as you feel his forehead with your bare hand for a fever, another on your own forehead to tell if it's warmer than usual.
His blood runs cold. He can't look away as he waits one dreadful moment for your body to start disintegrating.
No. Not again. Not you. Please. Especially not you. He can't lose you like this.
Nothing happens, as he waits, continuing to plead in his mind, but he realises he doesn't feel the rush of your life force becoming his own. Not even the pull of it under where your bare hand makes contact on his skin.
Your touch is just warm, the way he always imagined it would be, when he threw glances at you handling glasses when you weren't looking, or ruffling Lyca’s hair. What he doesn’t expect is the comfort it brings him. Not just from the relief of not seeing you wither away like so many others, but from how long it’s been since he’s had anything like this.
“It doesn’t feel different…” you mumble, finally looking up, “Ah! But your face is so red!” Rui’s sure his face becomes redder when your hand slides down to his cheek instead.
“It’s heatstroke!” he squeaks. It’s too much too fast, and he doesn’t quite know how to deal with it. He backs away quickly, pushing the file back into your arms and running off. “I gotta go. Haru’s in the fields if you need him!”
“Huh? O-okay!” he hears you call behind him, “Feel better soon! Remember to drink lots of water!”
“I will!” he returns, waving back.
“I didn’t even know ghouls could GET heatstroke.” You mumble to yourself, but he’s already long gone.
-
“Hey, did you hear? They’re gonna make the werewolf vice-captain!” Rui hears a girl not-quite-whisper to her friend.
“Eh~ really~? Poor Subaru-kun’s had his hands so full because of him…” her friend doesn’t even pretend to keep her voice down as she fidgets with the lavender jewel on her lapel.
“I guess it makes sense since Obscuary doesn’t have a vice yet…” she trails off, missing the grimace on Rui when he hurries past.
-
Rui finds himself in the familiar woods of Obscuary, stumbling through the overgrown weeds.
‘Someone really needs to clean this place up,’ he thinks, carefully stepping over the untrimmed plants.
As he nears the mansion, he hears the familiar sound of Lyca yelling.
“You gotta clean this up you moth-eaten casanova! It’s starting to smell bad!”
“Ah, but I’m not used to the new machines of this era you see. I have no idea how that washer machine works.”
Opening the door to the mansion, Rui finds random junk scattered across the floor. It’s less decorated than he left it, the walls stark of paintings and decor. It reminds him of the mansion when he first moved in, brimming with ill-gotten energy in a new environment.
The memory urges him to the bar, or where it should be. As he opens the door, he is greeted with a room that is mostly bare, save for a table and a few chairs. He paces to where the bar would be, tracing the walls empty of shelves. He decides not to linger, following the noise up the stairs.
Lyca whips around and growls, ears up, when Rui enters Edward’s room. He’s right, it does smell. Clothes are scattered about everywhere, far worse than he’s ever seen. He doesn’t even want to imagine what the strange green sludge on what’s probably a table is.
“There you are.” Edward says easily at what Rui suddenly realises might be an intrusion.
“You know this guy?” Lyca asks the vampire, eyes darting to him for a second before going back to keeping his eyes on Rui. Even the fur on his tail is upright.
“I’ve seen him around.” Edward replies, leering wide at the blonde. “The body you’re in isn’t going to be very happy to be here, you know.”
Rui’s response dies on his tongue as Edward approaches him, Lyca still watching cautiously behind them.
“Here, let me help you out.” Edward says. Rui doesn’t know what he does before he’s out like a light.
3.
A sterile light shines over Rui, blinking in disorientation. He just barely manages to make out the surroundings of a lab in time to hear Yuri finish his explanation.
“That’s right. I, Dr. Yuri Isami, have cured your curse!”
“What?” is the only thing Rui manages to say. He blinks. What?
“I- Weren’t you listening!?” Yuri shrieks, hand to his chest and lip curled.
“I think the patient might be in shock.” Jiro says in his defense. Yuri opens his mouth, then huffs.
Jiro tells him something else before they both leave the room, but Rui is too overwhelmed to notice.
His curse is cured? Just like that? Everything is just happening so fast. He can hardly believe it. He tries to remember everything he wanted to do when his curse was cured, everything he thought about doing, before the disappointment made him stop. He wishes he made that list now.
When was the last time he’d gone surfing? Felt the sun on his bare skin? Not worried about the potential danger?
When was the last time he’d felt grass on his fingertips? A dog licking his face?
When was the last time he walked around in a crowded street? How many festivals had he missed? Why couldn’t he remember?
When was the last time he reached out to someone? When was the last time it was okay?
“Rui..?” you call out to him hesitantly, bringing him back into the lab with you, still sitting on the medical bed where the other two left him. “They were briefing me about your curse, cause you looked like you weren’t going to be listening for a while…”
You approach slowly, hands tucked into your chest as usual as you come close. You stop in front of him, an expression he can’t read on your face.
Cautiously, you raise your hands, like you’re presenting them before stopping near his face, in front of the apples of his cheeks. It takes everything in him not to flinch away. You look into his eyes, and he knows the question before you say it. He thinks you might know the answer too.
“May I?” you ask.
“Yes.” he breathes, barely above a whisper.
Slowly, your fingertips. An experimental touch.
Then, your palms on his cheeks, cupping his face. He puts his hand over yours as he leans into it.
Your thumb brushes his bottom eyelid, and he realises he might have started crying, though he doesn’t know when. You are there to wipe away all the wet hot tears with gentle warm hands.
What strikes him now, of all the things happening in the moment, is the expression on your face as you gaze at him. Your eyes are soft despite the hard lights, but he feels the sneaking urge to rub his finger between your knitted brows.
He’s pulled into you, your arms around him and your hands clutched on the back of his shirt. A hug, when’s the last time he had one of those? He wraps his arms around your waist, his head buried in the crook of your neck. He breathes in a shuddering breath.
He smells the shampoo in your hair, stronger than all the times he caught a whiff of it when you walked past him just a little too close. He catches the scent of your fabric softener, which he’d only gotten once when you’d forgotten your jacket in the bar, and he’d been feeling particularly needy.
It’s comforting, familiar despite having never held you this close before. It feels like coming home after a long day. Feels like being greeted by your loved ones at the door. Like a sense of normalcy he didn’t think he’d ever be allowed to have again in this life.
He doesn’t remember Edward’s words to him just before he got here.
-
The two of you walk back to Obscuary together, hand in ungloved hand as you lead Rui along the path. You explain that although the curse has been cured, he will still keep all the excess energy until he runs out, but he will gradually be able to start sleeping and the like.
He squeezes your hand gently, like he has a dozen times already during the walk back from Mortkraken. You squeeze back, like you have a dozen times after, your thumb stroking the back of his hand.
You don’t let go even as you’re opening the door to the mansion.
“I guess all those tests really were worth it in the end, huh?” you say, smiling back at him.
He begins to question you but stops short when he’s greeted by the sight of his friends at the door, streamers lining the walls, creating a sharp contrast with the gothic furniture. Someone’s even managed to wrangle a party hat on Lyca.
“Is this…real?” is the only thing Rui manages.
He doesn’t notice the look Edward fixes on him as you giggle, “Well, we figured that after everything you went through, this is cause for celebration, no?”
“You’ve been through a lot all this time.” Haku says, clapping a hand on his shoulder. If he notices Rui flinch at the contact he doesn’t mention it.
Rui can’t help but laugh, each breath like a gasp of disbelief, almost startles when he feels his tears on his bare skin when he goes to wipe them, but it’s a genuine happiness he feels. The party feels almost like a haze in the midst of it.
He makes himself a drink alongside Haru and Romeo’s.
Lyca begrudgingly lets himself be convinced to stay still as his hair is ruffled.
You stay latched onto his arm all the while.
Rui steps out into the chill air of Obscuary for a breather. Despite the act he puts up, he doesn’t quite know what to do being in the centre of attention for so long. It’s a little dizzying, so much close contact after so long, but he feels a fullness in chest he doesn’t quite know how to describe.
“Enjoying yourself?” he hears Edward’s voice behind him. He turns to see an enigmatic look on the vampire’s face. Rui doesn’t manage to respond before Edward continues, “No matter. Celebrations can always be held again.”
He disappears back into the mansion to let Rui figure out what he meant by that. You follow him out shortly after, so he doesn’t.
That night, you stay over in his room. Your body pressed against his, only your clothes separating the two of you. Before, it would’ve been too little, too risky. Now it feels like too much in the way.
He toys with the hem of the T-shirt you borrowed from him before you gently guide him under it.
“I didn’t think I’d get to do this, have this ever again…” his voice is barely above a whisper, his words only for you to hear. Your flesh is soft and pliant under his hand when he kneads your belly. You giggle when he pokes your side a little too hard, and he thinks he’d like to hear the sound over and over again.
“You deserve it. You can have it as many times as you want.” you press your forehead against his in response. Your hand running down his chest leaves him feeling breathless. The motions of your hand slow until it rests on his back, your breath slowing and evening out. He doesn’t notice himself matching you as he watches the rise and fall of your stomach, each a reminder that you are alive.
He holds you close, and closer still. He hopes this is real. He hopes he gets to stay here forever.
When he sleeps, he dreams of stars.
I don’t really know what I’m doing, but that’s okay, because I just know that I wanted to feel, and I did. I hope this made you feel too (I hope you enjoyed it).
