Kaiser yap.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚₊

Thinking about starting a secret alliance with Kaiser on love island because neither one of you were each others first choice (he’s hot and foreign but realistically, he is arrogant and people will tire of that quickly), and unprepared to face rejection and not wanting your experiences to be cut short so soon you fake a connection in the first recoupling to stay in the villa.

As time goes on you two explore and literally go after everyone but each other, making people think you’re problematic.

Only for it to come down to you, and the connection he was currently exploring in the villa to be dumped off the island. Unable to bear losing you, he stands up before the others in the villa and theatrically reveals the true nature to your connection, shocking everyone and yourself when he picks you.

This stirs up some shit though bc he in fact does not communicate this with the other girl. Bc he didn’t use his brain for this one. MESSSYYYYYYY

-`♡´- first kiss with sae itoshi!

your first kiss with SAE ITOSHI didn't arrived gently. it had torn through him. through you. through everything.

the tension between you had been a living, breathing thing: coiled tight in every look that lingered too long, in every word he almost said but swallowed like it might burn. it lived in the way his gaze flicked to your lips and then away, over and over, like he was punishing himself with restraint.

it had built like a storm, heavy and electric, until something inside him snapped.

and then—he kissed you.

he kissed you like it was the last thing he’d ever do. like he was finally giving in to a fire that had been smoldering beneath his skin for too long. his mouth crashed into yours with a raw, aching intensity that made your breath stutter. it was all heat and fury and need. like he hated how much he wanted you—and wanted you anyway.

his hand had come up to your face, trembling with the force of what he was holding back. his grip wasn’t soft—it was desperate. like he needed to feel you, to ground himself, to make sure this was real.

and when he finally pulled away, just barely, just enough to breathe, he had looked at you like you undid him. like you shattered something in him and he didn’t know how to survive it.

“you ruin everything,” he had said, voice low and wrecked, each word falling heavy between you.

it hadn’t been an accusation. it had been a confession. you ruined the way he used to exist. you made him feel. and he didn’t know what to do with it.

still, he didn’t leave. didn’t step back. his forehead pressed to yours, his chest rising too fast, his hands still holding you like he was terrified you'd vanish. and when he leaned in again, slower this time, lips barely brushing yours, it wasn’t about hunger anymore.

it was surrender.

that second kiss was different—gentle, aching, laced with the hush of everything he could never voice.

it was the moment the storm inside him finally went quiet, when resistance melted into reverence and want gave way to devotion.

in your touch, he unraveled, not as the boy who kept the world at arm’s length, but as the soul that had already belonged to you.

and though his lips never shaped the words, the truth echoed in his kiss—across lifetimes, across longing, across all that he could never say, it had only ever been you.

my take on the itoshi bros in a royal!au inspired from this (check it out. it's bomb)

A messenger from the western provinces arrived early that cold, spring morning. Boots caked in mud, face pale beneath the royal insignia pinned to his chest. You had heard the commotion from the lower hall. You had barely returned from your morning tasks when you were summoned and by the time you arrived to the east solar, the palace already seemed to hold its breath.

“You will take this to the princes,” the steward said curtly, pressing the sealed envelope into your hands. “See that it reaches them immediately. And say nothing.”

“Yes, my lord.” you murmured, fingers closing around the thick vellum.

You weren’t to know its contents, of course. But the seal pressed into the wax—the unmistakable crest of another kingdom's—told you enough. No idle letter crossed such distance, not under such haste.

You turned away swiftly, and made your way through the familiar halls. You were no stranger to the royal wing. Once, you had run these very corridors barefoot with two young boys destined to rule—playmates before you were ever the royals’ attendant. You were no longer the child who dared tug at a prince’s sleeve, nor the girl who laughed unbidden in royal gardens. Those days had passed now, dulled by years and duty. Now, you were placed in their lives with your head in honed respect and steady hands. You bore no illusions about your station anymore.

But it was strange—the ache in your throat as you neared the solar where they spent the morning.

Two guards stood posted outside the doors. They recognized you instantly and allowed you through without question.

Inside, the room was quiet and warm with firelight. Several chamber-servants were at work; one tending the hearth, another arranging books upon a side table, and two more setting out a light meal.

Prince Sae stood by the tall windows, sea-glass eyes fixed upon the distant woods beyond the walls. Prince Rin sat half-curled in a velvet chair, a book open and forgotten upon his knee. They looked up as you entered with your head bowed.

You crossed the floor with careful steps, and bent before them, offering the letter with outstretched hands.

“A courier arrived this morning, Your Highnesses. The steward bade me bring this to you directly.” You spoke clearly, keeping your gaze low.

Sae turned from the window at once. His eyes fell to the seal, a flicker of sharp recognition there and then up again, gaze cutting through the room.

“Out.” He commanded coldly, voice sharp as a blade.

Without hesitation, all of the chamber-servants gathered their things and hurriedly left, casting uncertain glances as they passed you.

“You, remain. You we're already part of this room.” Sae added—softer, but no less commanding—to you.

Your breath caught.

“Yes, my prince.” You whispered, dipping your head again. You stepped aside, as the great doors closed behind the others with a heavy thud.

Sae took the envelope without a word. You caught the faint narrowing of his eyes as they fell upon the crest. He breaks the seal with one smooth motion, unfolded the vellum, and scanned its contents with cold, lidded eyes. His gaze moved swiftly across the page—once, twice—then lowered the parchment with care.

“It is as expected,” he said flatly.

Rin rose and came to his side, reading over his shoulder. You saw the shift in his stance, the darkening of his gaze. His gaze flicked toward you, softer—as if he read the question in your lowered eyes, though you dared not ask it aloud.

“They have pressed the match.” Rin thought aloud, voice low. Tense.

Sae only nodded, folding the letter as if the act in doing so would contain the consequences within. “A strategic alliance.” Sae replied, words clipped.

You busied yourself with a forgotten tea set the chamber-servants have left behind from Sae’s jurisdiction.

“Father will have to agree,” Rin muttered, pacing now. “He deems it politically expedient.”

You kept your gaze on your work, carefully pouring, setting each cup down in perfect silence.

You had known this day would come. Of course you had.

They were princes. You were a servant. The gap between you had widened with every passing year—with every new title, every coronation, every court appearance.

And yet.

And yet they still looked at you sometimes like they had when you were children, racing through the garden, climbing trees you were scolded for later. They still spoke to you sometimes as if they had forgotten what your address was meant to be.

You weren’t foolish enough to think it could mean anything. But you weren’t strong enough not to feel the ache of it, either.

You stare at the stone floor, throat tight.

“Speak,” Sae said suddenly. Tone sharper now. “I see your thoughts stirring. Voice them.”

Your hands stilled. Rin, mid-step amidst his pacing, stopped aswell. Slowly, you set the porcelain cups upon the tray. Careful. Careful.

You smoothed your skirt with trembling fingers. When you lifted your head, two pairs of piercing teal eyes watched you now.

“I—” You faltered, breath shallow. Then steadied yourself. You then lifted your gaze with caution. “It is not my place, my prince.” You answered softly.

“You were not silent when we were children,” Rin said softly. “Say it.”

Your throat tightened. That was before, you wanted to say. Before I knew better. Before we were grown, and the world was watching.

But what came out was only, “You are to be wed, my prince. I only wish you happiness. Nothing more.”

Sae’s expression was inscrutable. “Do you.”

You kept your eyes lowered.

Sae studied you then, with a gaze carved from winter glass, cold and unflinching. A faint, bitter curve touched his mouth.

Without a word, he turned toward the hearth, the letter remained clenched in one white-knuckled grasp, folded neatly, as if to leave it open would be granting it breath it did not deserve.

And with a flick of his wrist—unceremonious, resolute—he fed it to the fire.

The flames leapt to meet it, as if starved. They coiled around the vellum with greedy tongues, tasting the ink and royal wax alike. The seal of that foreign crest—promise of a bethrothal that would never be—curled and blackened beneath their hunger.

The fire devoured it as Sae would any such notion—without hesitation, without mercy. No alliance forged by ink and duty would bind him. No crown would dictate the shape of his future.

You could only watch in silence as the letter crisped and curled upon itself, its words lost to smoke. Beside you, Rin did not move; he, too, would have cast it into the flames without pause.

Ash drifted upward like the bones of a dead thing. And when at last Sae turned from the hearth, the last of the embers still glowing faint and defiant, it seemed the matter was settled. He crossed the chamber toward you—each step echoing in the stillness.

You remained rooted, though your pulse quickened.

He passed close, so near you could scarce breathe—and spoke in a voice so low and quiet, brushing your ear like a blade sheathed in velvet.

“You always did lie poorly.”

Then he turned, the folds of his cloak whispering against the floor as he departed. Leaving only the fading scent of smoke and the brittle hush that followed ruin.

Rin remained by your side a moment longer. When he looked at you, it was not as prince to servant, but as something far older, far sadder.

“Stay close,” he said softly, a hand brushing your sleeve in passing. “You may yet be needed.”

He glanced toward the great doors. “The council summons us soon.”

With that, he follows Sae through the grand wooden doors, their echoing shut leaving you alone beneath the vast arches of the chamber. The faint scent of burnt parchment hung in the air, mingling with the clean promise of rain. The untouched tea sat cooling on the table, forgotten. And though your hands were steady, it was your heart that trembled.

Rin and Sae x Reader

Blindfold challenge— Season 7, Ep. 2

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚₊

Hairs stand on end as the hostess approaches you and your fellow islanders. You’ve found a sweet connection with Rin Itoshi. You didn’t have anyone steal him from you, and you didn’t steal him from anyone in the first coupling of the season, he was up for grabs. Getting to know him has been sweet and you certainly have yourself strapped in for a slow burn.

Now, following the hostess’s instructions; You’re blindfolded in a chair a few feet away from Rin’s. The other couples are seated in a similar fashion, all creating a circular formation. You’re free to kiss anyone in the villa you please, or, to stay true to your couple and remain seated. The hostess goes around one by one, silently tapping you on the shoulder to allow you to make your decision. You remove your blindfold and move silently if you wish to explore another connection, and it’s all left completely anonymous.

It’s silent on your end and Rin’s end, across the way you can hear the silent padding of feet through the turf—followed by the sounds of wet kisses and shallow breaths if you squint.

You’re fairly certain that you haven’t caught anyone’s eye, nor has anyone else really caught your eye. So imagine your own surprise when you feel a presence standing before you. Silent and commanding of your attention, a cold sweat prickling your spine as the figure silently stepped closer to you.

His presence was calculating, even in front of you he was more silent and harder to detect than those you heard moving about. A finger hooks beneath your chin as if to warn you, breath ghosting over your lips slowly. Though when his lips finally press to yours the kiss is firm, slow and wet. Fucking phenomenal, may I add. It’s silent, and you can’t help but melt into it. Leaning forward just for a little more. Not that you have to worry, at this rate you’re not sure if he ever plans on stopping.

Until he does, the coolness in the air hitting your now wet lips and you’re forced to shut your mouth before bugs seek entry.

There’s a long silence as the figure slips away like he was never there. The scent wafting in your nose and you hope that Rin can’t hear the way you’re inhaling to get just one more wiff.

And as if by some invisible force its back again, the scent hitting you full force. The same presence, sleek and silent, though this time a hand positions itself on the back of your neck and tugs you in—a small breath escaping you you’re sure others heard before your lips collide with his again. Once more a wet kiss, firm, but slow enough to where you could hardly even hear.

The smooching ceased, and you’re instructed to remove your blindfolds. Other ladies of the villa rushing to fix their smeared lipstick—you attempt to signal to one of them they’ve got it on their nose but your attempt to warn is futile.

The hostess is giddy, taunting all of you with what she just saw, then announcing the arrival of the two bombshells—who are no where to be seen. That’s when you and one of the guys receive a text at the same time. (Not from the same person..)

Come find me in the Hideaway.

Draft dump

Kaiser loves being the center of attention, even now, that trait remains unyielding. You’re at the height of your desires, the insatiable hunger for blood being passed through the neurotransmitters in your brain. Your body surging with excessive amounts of strength and hunger that you don’t know what to do with. And you feel it, every pulse pushed through your arteries into your bloodstream—or what’s left of it. Vampires essentially being the living dead rebranded, your body will consume the remains of your blood against your own will. You remain far from him, hiding in a corner as you bite down on your own hand to keep from accepting his offer, one of blood.

His fingers unbuttoning the top of his shirt to expose pale skin and the dip between his pectorals as he crouches down to your level, an arrogant grin on his face. Your stomach gurgles. The sight of his defined collarbones, or the flexing of his pulsing jugular calling out to you. You so wish to sink your teeth into the outline of his tattoo, you wonder if the tattoo affects the taste.

“beiß mich.” he provokes you. He aches to be the object of your desires. He relishes in it, the fact you’re so visibly writhing in order to resist him. You’re physically restraining yourself in order to resist him. Your eyes fasten shut and you shake your head, your heart throbbing senselessly at the base of your throat.

“Bite me.” He echoes in English, accent thick and demanding.

“I won’t be able to stop if I start,” you warn, and those words trigger the wild look in his eyes. One that hints he may just be more hungry than you.

LOVE DIVE !

feat. yukimiya kenyu, itoshi rin, nagi seishiro & shidou ryusei x gender neutral reader note. wooo this was a long one. hope you guys like it!! contains established relationships, suggestive themes ( bc it’s shidou, duh ) but overall sfw〳fluff [ please reblog if you enjoyed it helps me so much + masterlist ]

YUKIMIYA KENYU.

he leans in, his voice barely above a whisper. “are you sure about this?” his eyes search yours, looking for even the smallest trace of doubt. you nod, your heart pounding like it wants out of your chest.

you haven’t been dating yukimiya long, and you know he’d never push you into anything you weren’t ready for. but still, you can’t help the feeling that you want something more than just hugging and holding hands.

yukimiya’s touch is warm, gentle, grounding, and it sparks something in you that feels both overwhelming and safe. “we can stop whenever you want,” he says, his thumb brushing a slow, steady circle at your waist.

you nod again, barely whispering, “i know.” your fingers find his. it’s not rushed and definitely not perfect. but it’s yours.

you lean in and kiss him.

it’s short, a little awkward. your lips don’t quite know what they’re doing, and you pull away.

“okay,” you mumble. “that was kind of bad.” yukimiya lets out a quiet laugh, not teasing, just soft. “yeah, but that’s okay,” he says. “we’ll get there.”

ITOSHI RIN.

you aimed for rin’s cheek, really, you did, but he turned his head at the exact same moment, and suddenly your lips were pressed against his.

you froze, then jerked back, horrified.

“oh my god, i’m so sorry, rin,” you stammered. “that was supposed to be a cheek kiss, as a thank-you for grabbing that for me, i swear!”

he blinked, clearly caught off guard. “…you kissed me.”

“accidentally!”

“don’t apologize.”

he looked at you. not cold, not aloof, just rin. his expression soft in a way that was rare from someone like him. “you don’t have to apologize for kissing me.”

your breath caught in your throat. “um, o-okay.”

rin’s mouth twitched, just slightly. not quite a smile, but close. then he reached up and casually closed the cabinet door like nothing happened.

“could’ve just said thanks.”

“yeah, well. lesson learned.”

he handed you the box he’d gotten down. “next time,” he said, brushing past you, “warn me first. and aim right.”

and if you were looking closely… you might’ve noticed the tips of his ears turning faintly red.

NAGI SEISHIRO.

you’re laser-focused on the crane game in front of you, determined to win that miffy plushie. you hardly notice nagi leaning in, quietly sliding himself between you and your shoulder.

he doesn’t say anything at first—just stands there, warm and heavy against your back, arms loosely wrapped around your waist. you glance at him from the corner of your eye. “what are you doing?”

“nothing. just focus.”

you try, but it’s not exactly easy with him pressed up against you like that and his breath tickling your neck. you tighten your grip on the joystick, eyes locking onto a rabbit with a blue shirt. you take a deep breath and hit the confirm button.

the claw drops, grabs the plush, and it lands right in the prize chute. a happy little jingle plays from the machine. you light up. “look, sei! we did it!”

he hums and leans in just enough to press a soft kiss to the corner of your mouth. “good job, baby.”

you cradle the plush to your chest, grinning like you just won the lottery. “he’s so soft,” you murmur, already imagining where you’re going to put him. “think he’ll get along with choki?”

nagi glances down, eyes half-lidded. “dunno. depends if miffy’s annoying.”

you elbow him gently, but you’re still smiling. “you’re the annoying one.”

“mm.” he rests his chin on your shoulder again, arms still wrapped lazily around you. “you still like me.”

you roll your eyes, but you don’t argue. instead, you lean back a little into him, the plush squished between you.

“wanna try for another one?” you ask.

“nah.” his embrace on you tightens a little. “already got what i wanted.”

SHIDOU RYUSEI.

“you wanna make out?”

“what the fuck.”

“what, c’mon. don’t be lame.”

shidou’s grinning like he just dared you to jump off a roof with him. “we’re literally standing in front of a vending machine,” you deadpan. in public, you might add.

“yeah, and? romance can strike anywhere.” shidou cracks open a drink like this is the most casual thing in the world. “i’m just sayin’, if you wanna kiss me, ya don’t gotta make it complicated.”

“i never said i wanted to kiss you.”

“didn’t say you didn’t, either~” he sings.

you glare. he smirks. then shidou leans in, way too close. “you’re thinking about it now.”

“i’m thinking about shoving you into this vending machine.”

“kinky,” he says. “i can work with that.”

you groan and turn, but he follows like a shadow. “you’d like it,” shidou adds. “admit it.”

“what, kissing you?”

he clicks his tongue. “nah. me.”

you stop walking. “you’re the worst.”

“but i’m hot.”

“unfortunately.”

shidou grins, eyes glinting with that reckless spark. “so… we making out or what?”

you groan and before you can talk yourself out of it, you kiss him. just a quick peck, fast, like ripping off a band-aid.

“damn,” he says, licking his lips. “guess you do wanna make out.”

“that wasn’t making out,” you mutter, already turning to walk. he follows close behind, a little bounce in his step. “it was a solid warm-up though.”

“don’t push it.”

he laughs, completely unbothered. “too late. i’m already planning round two.”

[harpval]

🧎‍♀️ I’m sat.

about that latest oneshot you wrote... how do you think rin will react when he found out that his best friend and his big bro is now a thing? will he actually start crashing out or will he just go "wow you're stupid for falling for my brother"

best friend, itoshi rin has noticed some changes in your behaviour as of late, normally he'd just assume it's because of a new show/series/character that you're choosing to obsess over.

but no, this is different, you've been distant, more secretive, less talkative, always looking at your phone, grabbing it the second it beeps with a notification, smiling at your phone more often, and rin— rin is not okay, at all.

because as much as he would never admit it out loud, he misses you, this is so sappy because you're right here, next to him, but at the same time you're not.

he misses your constant chatter about what you did for the day, the constant 'ding' in his pocket coming from his phone due to your daily messages, he misses the occasional late night calls when he's too pent up from soccer to fall asleep, or when you're too stressed about an exam that's due the next day, listening to your whining about how you're sure you'll not make it this time around.

but you always do, because rin is here.

he wouldn't let you slip away, not when he's around.

so, why was he feeling off about all this, you've been closer to him ever since you first came to his house, you come over more often now, the routine goes like this:

dinner, rin dragging you to watch movies, some video games, random talking until he ends up falling asleep and you're gone by the time he wakes up in the morning.

something is off.

and then he starts to have his suspicions, sae has been acting strange, far stranger than you. it's weird because ever since his brother came back from spain, they haven't spoken much.

but everything feels different.

he notices instantly.

ever since sae started to put more effort in his looks, his clothes, he's wearing his hair down more often, he's always in a good mood not that his face says anything different, it's just— he looks happy.

and rin? he'd be glad, because sae has been treating him like he used to, slowly but surely they're going back to their old ways, starting with those popsicles they used to get when they were kids.

this time, rin's luck doesn't play by his side.

you lose.

he looks down at the stick in his hand and then towards his brother, who takes the finished popsicle out his mouth to see the text engraved on the stick.

...

you win.

rin expects sae to scoff at the stupid thing and say how something so insignificant can't judge his luck like he used to do.

but no.

it's there, so, so, so fucking faint, but it's there— a smile on his lips.

"i'm going to put this away, be right back." the older itoshi says as he gets off the couch, leaving rin with his thoughts.

just what has gotten into the people around him?

his question answers itself, when he hears a 'ding' next to him, he grabs it thinking it's his phone, probably something from you, he doesn't have notifications on for people other than this family and you.

it's not his phone.

but he can't be bothered to care because—

you [11:47pm]:

hey, come over today? i got your favourite chocolate and i have practice in a few days so i'll probably be busier, i need my fill of someone stupid til then.

cariño [12:29 pm]:

hii

i think i can!!

i'll ask rinnie if he can hangout tonight then >:D

also bribing me with chocolate isn't fair <\\3

you [12:36 pm]:

i simply made a request with no ulterior motives.

spoiling my girlfriend is seen as a crime these days?? how bad has society gotten.

cariño [12:40 pm]:

suree, keep telling yourself that..!

see you tonight, I love you <33

...

he shuts the phone off as soon as he hears sae's footsteps coming back to the room.

and before he knows it, he's back in his room, the door locked and his ears hot and ringing. he grabs a pillow off his bed, tossing it to the picture he has of him and sae on his desk, which is childish but rin's vision is blurry and his eyes feel hot.

it's not fair, not fair, not fucking fair.

why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?—

why the fuck does itoshi sae get everything? does he not have enough of his own things? why is he stealing away the one thing rin had kept to himself, the one thing rin had allowed himself to be selfish over. it's not fucking fair— why his best friend?

he was planning on taking it slow, he thought he had finally found someone that understood him, someone that he could trust with ease and he doesn't do feelings, but he was willing to try, so why?

why now? when he has realised his own feelings? when he was planning on asking you out? right after he finished with blue lock and the u20 match, when he was waiting for the perfect day to finally have you? to make you his?

and if it isn't already enough, his phone buzzes on his desk.

and the universe mocks his existence.

stupid owl [12:40 pm]:

rinnieee.

can I come overrr :000

stupid owl [12:47 pm]:

rinrin?

rinniepoo

loml, star of my eyes rinrin !!

we can even watch that new thriller that came out recently !?

stupid owl [12: 55 pm]:

rin? you good? you're not even 'seen' zoning me like you normally do, woah! :((

...

okay, if itoshi sae wants to play like that, so fucking be it. rin isn't a kid anymore, he can be mature about this— and by mature he means..

you [1:00 pm]:

sure.

why don't you stay the night?

The OG’s Vs. The Bombshells

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━🌺━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚₊

🌿THE OGS🌿

Isagi Yoichi

Here for a genuine connection with pure intentions, while he is strategic he wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s knocking on the dressing room as the girls ready themselves for the day, greeting them all with a wide smile but making sure his girl is fueled for the day with nicely made avocado toast and a drink of choice. He’s got a fantastic memory, he’ll know if you want coffee, tea, or house made orange juice to start your day. He’s silently competitive, you rarely see anyone get under his skin. The only time you might is if your connection is strong and you’re exploring other options.

Itoshi Rin

If you’ve seen season 6, Kordell is related to Odell Beckham—and doesn’t mention it a lot. Rin would be a bit similar, he would never bring up Sae. It wouldn’t be until someone makes a comparison about the two, their eyes, and the last name. Rin seems more shy, a bit closed off. He knows how to play the game so he’d approach first but you’d ultimately have to get a jumping point for the conversation. Once comfortable he’d be unexpectedly passionate, during a re-coupling he’d hold your gaze as he spoke, making it known that you’re the one he’s picking. Unintentionally too. The producers have to correct him for the next recoupling to *not* stare at you the entire time until he announces it.

Reo

While Reo can be a sweetheart, he can get petty extremely fast. Initially he’s the sweetest man you’ve ever met, friendly, and easy to talk to. But the moment someone else kisses you in a challenge? He’s fucking seething, he’s not used to not getting what he wants or getting his way and it’ll unfortunately show. He will actually crash tf out, he can’t let things go either. But, on the plus side, he’s ambitious and goal driven. He’s someone people gravitate towards not because of his money, but because of his warm outward demeanor. He’s going to surprise you with breakfast in bed every day, the two of you sprawl out on the couches while he massages your legs etc. still very much a sweetie.

Nagi

Nonchalant king, cannot lie. Signs up for the show because Reo wanted to experience this with him. Nagi requires patience and heavy communication, he’s a bit lazy, but nighttime is the best. He’s a fantastic cuddler with a thumb gently stroking at your side or your hip. Fantastic eye contact, you two lounge around the villa and talk about mundane things while he stares up at you with big sweet eyes. But unfortunately all these small things won’t be able to save him in a future recoupling. Reo is on his ass 24/7 about doing some grand thing for you, but his lack of action leads to his demise.

Gagamaru Gin

He’s immediately everyone’s first pick because of his height and initial nonchalant demeanor. He’s so unintentionally funny though, making the most unhinged comments in the calmest tone. He’s still pretty attractive but he’s got this weird sense of humor and way of doing things that just makes him a fun guy to be around too. He’s got fantastic advice surprisingly, and most of the girls in the villa cozy up to him for relationship advice. I can see him forming a solid relationship after a bit of exploring, he’s fairly confident and his laid back nature would allow for him to not get his feelings hurt—so long as he isn’t in too deep. If you want a guy to make you laugh, he’s it.

Bachira Meguru

Becomes a fan favorite without question, from the jump he’s energetic and eccentric. He quickly becomes friends with everyone, and definitely does explore his options. He usually goes for someone who’s interested first due to his own self esteem. But he’s very honest about it because the last thing he wants to do is hurt someone. Manages to stay friends with everyone, a big hugger—jumps on everyone and throws his arms around them. During challenges he’s very shocked whenever he’s picked but he makes sure that you do NOT regret it. Kisses always end in giggle fits between you two and you’re never bored with him. Opens up to you only if you’ve been together a long time, and definitely loves to surprise you. The absolute BEST partner for competitive challenges if you’re looking to make memories and have fun.

🔥THE BOMBSHELLS🔥

The season prior to yours is the record holder for one of the biggest betrayals in love island history. Kunigami Rensuke was dumped from the island. His true nature and desire to play fair and be a gentleman left him vulnerable when a snakey bombshell pulled the rug from right under his feet. His experience was cut short after a few sweet lies were told by the girl he was coupled up with. Is asked to return to the show as a bombshell, and isn’t the outwardly honest gentleman viewers saw in the previous season. It’s his turn to make a dramatic entrance, he’s hot and captures the attention of the girls of the villa, he’s a flirt and fairly dry until you crack through his exterior. Sort of like Miguel, maybe. He flirts around a lot, ruffling some feathers, but it’s all worth it when he finds the one for him.

Barou Shoei

The bombshell ever. His aura is what makes him desirable, he gives off an outwardly bad boy-esque demeanor. He’s more than ready to step on some toes, stir up some shit. He goes into the villa with a goal. And he’s unafraid to make that known. It does not matter if you’re in the strongest couple, if he sees what he wants he is going to go for it. Though, he doesn’t wait around, if he sees a better connection elsewhere he’s going for it. On the contrary, he forms the strongest connection there. Makes you breakfast. Likely the first to go into the hideaway with you. If you two are strong then it’ll take a lot to turn his head, but he’s definitely a romantic and treats you like a queen once he’s got you—which is what makes people like him.

Kaiser Michael

Oh this man was born to be a bombshell. He was born for the big screen, he turns this shit into a movie. He explores his options, since he’s certainly got so many. He’s foreign, he’s charming, he has an accent, and he’s got an edge to him that the girls and viewers are itching to see. He purposely goes for the girls in the strongest couples just because he can, and so he can cause a trail of fire whenever he goes. A fire of drama, he has a flare for the dramatics and definitely has a theatrical way of acting—much like Rob from S6. But worse. His self esteem is secretly low, so he compensates for that by kissing you infront of your couple, making direct eye contact with the man as he does so. Points and winks at the camera, etc. It’s hard to form a solid connection with him because his walls are up, but once you manage there’s no going back. But trust me, you wouldn’t want to. Once he opens up he can be the best lover, it just takes a hell of a lot to get to that point.

Ryusei Shidou

He’s here for a good time, not a long time! He’s driven by his own desire for excitement. He brings the drama, the chaos, all of it. He’s got no shame in his game and will fully kiss you even if you’re in a couple, just cause he wants to. Has kissed someone just because he thought it would be entertaining before—caused the couple to fight, relished in it. He can be a good lover though, if you’re what he’s looking for. He needs someone who matches his freak, someone who keeps him on his toes. You can match his freak in private or be just as eccentric as he is, if you manage you’d become a power couple. But, if not, he leaves the show pretty soon. His time was short but his presence was lasting. Tries to fight Rin.

Alexis Ness

He’s a charmer, but overshadowed by Kaiser as he enters the villa with him. Ness has a snake like approach, and isn’t afraid to step on some toes to get what he wants. Though, he does it in such a way that your couple won’t even know what hit him till you’re choosing Ness in the recoupling. Aside from the fact he’s pretty strategic in how he moves, he’s genuinely a sweetheart and explores maybe one or two people before beelining for you. Goes after someone who sees him for who he is and appreciates his presence. Definitely someone that forms a lasting connection without the unnecessary drama. He’s open and honest too, and very fun to be around.

Oliver Aiku

The girls flock to him, the way he carries himself is enough to make him the perfect bombshell. He’s an avengers level threat for sure, sweet talking his way into a girl recoupling with him and ditching her other guy. But it’s hard to hide your true nature for long, he’s not very communicative and is definitely telling you and another girl the exact same things. He goes after nearly every bombshell, and comes back from casa amor with another girl. So he’s not the best lover on the show, he will never see the hideaway, but his departure is still sad since he was friends with anyone who didn’t get caught in the crossfire.

Otoya Eita

He’s a smooth talker, he’s captivating and has no trouble in sweeping girls off their feet with a few sweet promises whispered into their ears. He’s calm and laid back which makes him appear easy to talk to. But he quickly becomes love islands biggest heartbreaker, as he loses interest at the drop of a hat. Once he has you he’s moving onto the next thing. A fan favorite because of his lazy dry humor and relaxed approach to everything, definitely pisses off about half the girls because he can’t seem to make up his mind. His heads on a swivel, dropping his couple for any hot bombshell that enters the villa. Does not make it through the show, casa amor is his demise.

Sae Itoshi

A celebrity guest on the show, brought to stir up shit between him and his brother. He’s oblivious to his brothers silent rage, just playing the game like anyone else brought on the show. Doesn’t go out of his way to start drama, but won’t hesitate to step on some toes if he really really wants someone who’s in a couple. He’s looking for someone mature, and honest. He’s not going to stay in a couple just for the sake of being on the show, if he doesn’t like you or find a connection worthwhile he’s fine going home. He’s just here for the media coverage, to be fair. He’s not hard to get to know if he likes you though, once he’s got what he wants he fully intends on leaving the villa with you. He’s caring—making you breakfast, always having a hand on you respectfully, but also blunt. If he doesn’t like how you’re acting he’ll only tell you once before moving along. But he’d never leave you in the dark.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Isagi Yoichi

Could see him potentially being into that sort of thing. He doesn’t strike me as the type to feel even the slightest bit threatened by it, as a matter of fact it’d be a bragging point. Whether you’re muscular because of your sport or simply because you lift, he couldn’t care less.

The “oh yeah, that’s my partner,” goes crazy. He’s loud and proud.

Canonically obsessed with thighs, correct me if I am wrong. But whether they’re more mass or definition doesn’t matter to him, a strong pair of legs is enough to constantly catch the boy’s eyes on your legs.

Above all, however, he admires you for your strength. Watching you workout or play your sport leaves him feeling motivated. You two may or may not be able to train together depending on your training restrictions since most athletes have to stick to a schedule specific to the skill set required for their sport.

You do eat together, very often. He’ll geek out about soccer to you (and whether you have any clue what he’s talking about or not doesn’t matter, the way his expression lights up is just the sweetest.)

Secretly wants to train you in soccer, assuming you don’t play that is.

Constantly talks you up about how your legs give you the perfect prerequisite for playing the sport. You smile and nod.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Itoshi Rin

His reaction depends on if he knows you’re an athlete or not. He wouldn’t be surprised you had muscle on you if he knew you played a sport or lifted. But how muscular you are may strike him a bit.

If you lifted just to lift however, he’d often make comment about how you should put your physique to use because there’s ‘no use in having all that muscle and nothing to do with it.’

Though subconsciously he’ll seek your approval, puffing out his chest a little more whenever you’re around. Keeping his arms crossed with his hands planted beneath his biceps to accentuate the muscle there.

When he’s working out though he doesn’t care. He won’t work out with you because that’s just how he is. You likely don’t want to workout with him anyway, he’d act like a coach. But you may catch him looking from time to time between sets, he’d never admit it.

Let’s say you play soccer, and somehow convince him to go down to the field with you and shoot for a bit. Since you’re a girl and he’s got that teenage boy mentality (let’s be real here) he doesn’t expect too much from you, but then you actually give him a run for his money—He gets all flushed and is now scrambling to impress you.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Itoshi Sae

Similar to his brother, it doesn’t affect him much. But it’s pretty known he’s an ass man so I could see him honestly leaning towards someone with a more athletic build. We all know he likes booty.

He’ll use that as an excuse for why he’s staring. “It’s a shame really, you have the potential to be a good athlete but you just don’t do anything with it.” Once again, similar to his brother. “Is your only goal to look nice?” A compliment if you squint.

Gives you advice on training. He’s not the type to mansplain so he won’t be insufferable, and he won’t workout with you either because he refuses to do anything that won’t assist him in soccer. He doesn’t give a shit about body building type training, so to speak. But his advice is good, he’ll correct your form. If you’re having a hard time with RDLs he’ll keep a hand hovering against your lower back as he talks you through the movement.

If you’re bigger than him though, which realistically soccer players aren’t known for their mass, I wouldn’t see that sort of thing really affecting him. He’s more aware that you have different training styles.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Ryusei Shidou

He’d be your biggest fan. And most feral. He fucking bites you. Sexual or not he’s going to bite you at some point in the day. Your biceps, your thigh, hamstring. You should consider equipping yourself with a spray bottle or rolled up newspaper to ward him off.

He’d be another to be loud and proud about it. “Yeah, I tap that.” In a more joking manner to see you get flustered. Or something along the lines of, “you could beat the shit out of me and I’d say thank you.” “Can you?”

Will jokingly call you mommy. If you ask him to do something his reply is always some variant of “yes mommy.” (Cue “daddy long lashes”)

He’d have more fun play fighting with someone stronger, it would feel like more of a challenge. He’d find your presence and strength utterly exhilarating. You pin him down and he giggles like a hyena under you. I’d say maybe you’re both around the same strength, which he adores. You can match his energy 10x better than the average person.

He doesn’t tease and play fight for the sake of winning, he engages with you in such ways for the sake of excitement. He’d go after someone who excites him.

Extremely excited by your strength. Certainly likes to test your endurance and stamina. Once more, do with this what you will.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Karasu Tabito

I feel like he’d be normal about it, but initially surprised to see just how much muscle you have regardless of how you train since it’s common knowledge that not being a male makes it harder to have nice muscle maturity. He’d be impressed.

He’d have a lot of respect for you since he sees it’s a sign you work hard. Canonically he has respect for those he sees as surpassing mediocrity.

His initial conversation starter with you was about athletics and lifting, seeing as it’s something you may be able to talk about he calculated out the conversation before approaching you.

Likely met you in the gym or in some semi social setting.

Let’s say you were a bit stronger than him or more athletic. He wouldn’t feel emasculated but he’d feel mediocre. He likes you so he wouldn’t risk your opinion of him (any more than he already feels he has already being as ‘mediocre’ as he is) by challenging you, but his jaw tenses when he sees that you give him a run for his money in certain areas.

He gives me the vibe that he’d brag about you being able to pushups or pull ups. He’ll whisper in your ear about how he’s got the best/strongest partner of all his teammates.

He just needs reassurance, that’s about it.

If I wrote for him in the future he’d certainly be an unreliable narrator

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Michael Kaiser

Okay. This one was a bit harder for me to think of, since it’s hard for me to imagine him even wanting to be in a. Relationship or how he’d act. On one hand I feel he has the potential to be a good man but on the other I see his past holding him back from happiness.

Initially, he’d be put off by it. (Not unattractive, it certainly awakened something in him and he did NOT like that!) Whether you’re a phenomenal athlete or just muscular for whatever reason, it lit a fire under him. To put it simply, you keep him on his toes.

He’d have more respect for someone who he sees as almost a “threat.” He wouldn’t go out of his way to approach you so the situation would be more of a “forced proximity.” He’ll be boyish, challenging you to compete with him regardless of your set of skills.

It takes seeing your strength in real time to know he’s in trouble. You’re actually good at soccer? You can do more pull ups than him? Push more weight? (I wouldn’t say play fighting. I don’t think he’d take kindly to being pinned down. I don’t think he’d talk to you again if you did.) ptsd. I can’t imagine him liking being over powered in any instance tbh.

He never considered dating someone muscular before, he didn’t care, he had more important things to think of before a love life.

But the sight of your back muscles contracting and flexing beneath him awakens something in him that’s almost primal. Do with this what you will

Also another unreliable narrator if I wrote from his POV

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Alexis Ness

Oh. Oh.

He never imagined how it would be to date someone muscular. But boy he is enamored with you. He’s a worshiper for sure, absolutely entranced by your body like you’re some sort of work of art, a statue sculpted out of marble.

He would work out with you if you asked, to which he’d get yelled at by Kaiser for risking his soccer potential.

Ness wouldn’t feel emasculated but I feel like he’d try to become more muscular with the assumption that since you’re pretty fit that you want someone who can be at your level. He becomes a bit obsessed with it, trying to become more like you. Which, you’d need to shut that down right away before he becomes out of control.

He’d admire your muscles, fingers tracing over every dip and curve in your skin while you’re both laying down in silence.

He’s always watching you, his eyes never leaving your form. The way he looks at you is the furthest thing from casual and everyone can see it.

He likes being pinned beneath you. That’s it😛

I never know how to write ness like do I make him obsessed with reader or still obsessed with Kaiser URGH

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

Shouei Barou

He’s not turned off at all. In fact he admires your strength, so long as you don’t outshine the king.

One thing that would put him off is if your hands are calloused. He’d wrap your hands for you before a lift if you refused gloves, but he’d buy you lifting gloves otherwise and scold you. “don’t come crying when you’re hands hurt.” He’d mumble under his breath. Secretly admiring the way your hands feel in his while he wrapped them but he wouldn’t give you the satisfaction of his “weakness.”

It gives him a sense of security knowing that you’re strong enough to hold your own, on the off chance he isn’t there to protect you from whatever it is you need to be protected from.

He’s big on making sure you stretch and roll out, once again scolding you if you forget to stretch before and after. He’ll huff and pout under his breath about how you don’t take care of your body while he massages the knots out of your muscles.

You two meal prep together. He likes to be prepared for the week, so every Sunday you two make a day of shopping for groceries and then prepping your foods for the week. He’s bossy in the kitchen, so do be patient. He’ll assign you a job like peeling the shell off the hard boiled eggs while he diligently cooks the chicken, the rice, the sides, the ground beef etc. control freak

Caught between Kaiser and Isagi.

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━🌺━━━━━━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚₊

Kaiser exudes movie star confidence, the crowd loves him and evidently so. He's not going anywhere. You got to know him and examine the cracks in that exterior, you want to know more. You want to know what keeps him up at night, the inner workings of his mind. He is thrilling, and the sweetest in silence because while he has stated he wants to explore his options on Love Island, there's a hint of lover boy in him you manage to bring out. "I'm gonna explore." proceeds to choose you twice in the recoupling. He brings out the competitive side of you during challenges, and a confidence you never knew you had. So long as you can handle the flair of drama that comes with Mr.Kaiser, you'd be a power couple.

Isagi is a fucking sweetheart. He lays it all out on the table from the moment you first chat. He's different in a romantic setting than on the field, he'll forever be sweet to you-you won't really see the venom he displays on the field. He is competitive though, there's no denying that. The moment Kaiser has his sights set on you it's all or nothing. He asks about you first, only talking about himself when you ask. Everything he does is strategic, he'll remember the smallest details and honestly is the ideal boyfriend. The guys either love him or fucking hate him because while he doesn't have the swagger of Kaiser, he is a charmer with a sweet smile and that makes him dangerous.

Any time the two are alone the camera zeroes in on their interactions-in the kitchen the two of them are caught staring at you after someone else pulled you for a chat. Their mics picking up on all the petty digs they take at one another, and you can see the vein bulging in the side of Kaiser's neck when Isagi gets the upper hand. #plotarmor

Kaiser also gives me Rob vibes from S6, mostly in the sense that he would also be very theatrical and bring on the dramatics.

Dearest reader,

It seems that this season, there has been a delay in selecting our fair diamond. However, I am certain Her Highness is taking care of her most meticulous selection. But allow me to lend you my watchful eyes, as there are a plethora of young ladies who shimmer above the rest.

Because who else is as discerning as the scribbling madwoman who has dedicated her craft to observation and unveiling the hidden truths of this society?

Some outperform the rest in skill, some rise above in natural charm, and there are those with the presence of an angel and a heart of gold. A lady with eyes like emeralds framed by thick lashes, and hair akin to the roses in the royal gardens, her looks and gentleness have certainly caught this writer’s eye.

Scorned by the actions of her elder brothers, she rose to the task of her debut this very season. The one and only daughter of our Duke and Duchess may be the final thread holding their tarnished names together, as it is always the ladies who are left behind to clean up the mess. Lady Nora Itoshi sweeps her way through the crowds with ease, capturing the affections of only the most noble of gentlemen.

A woman who speaks for the rest of us deserves recognition, for there is not a diamond this season fairer than she.

Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers

“She is capable of mercy,” Lucia says as she sits in the drawing room beside you, tracing a perfectly manicured nail across the page. Your attention is drawn in as you lean over to read the contents. She looks to you, awaiting your response.

“I can’t imagine the Queen being so pleased.” You mumble. Your mother looks over her shoulder, a sigh escaping her.

“Girls, what have I told you about the scandal sheets?” She says, holding a hand out, beckoning Lucia to hand it over. Lucia submits, resigned as she watches your mother fold the sheet into a small square.

“What would you think if she wrote about us?” You lean against the armrest and ask your mother. Her prim and perfect brow quirked.

“It depends.”

“On?” Lucia chirps. Your mother hums to herself as she passes the folded-up paper to Lenore, who takes it out of the room.

“If she were kinder with her words, then perhaps she would earn my kindness.” She says simply before smoothing out her skirt and approaching the window. “She is young, one can only assume. Back then, there was no ghostwriter, only the gossip from our lips. A woman like her ought to be cast from society for blabbering away on a gossip sheet. You two are proper ladies of the ton, and it is not a good look to have your noses buried in gossip and rumors. Besides, her majesty will not take kindly to being challenged.” Your mother pinches the bridge of her nose between her forefinger and thumb before sighing.

“Right,” Lucia composes herself and turns her gaze to the floor. You can only watch the energy in the room shift into silence. Your gaze followed your mother’s to the window. It is a pleasant day outside, a robin taunting you from the branch that crosses the path of the window. The orange underside of her belly catches the light as you watch.

Just then, a small gush of wind brushes past you from the entrance to the drawing room. You rise, and your sister follows as the footman stands there, chest puffed with his hands behind his back.

“The Most Honorable Marquess, Lord Kaiser.” What. Next to you, your sister’s composure falters, the slight widening of her eyes and slump of her shoulders before she bows her head. You follow suit, as does your mother. In comes the blonde man, a stark contrast from how you’d last seen him. Shaking and sweating, babbling as he snapped at you like a scared canine. He stood tall, shoulders squared, and he exuded an energy akin to a king.

“Good day,” He says. His tone was calm with a tinge of pride to it.

“My lord, we are pleased to make your acquaintance.” Your mother spoke. Her words were measured and deliberate as she regarded the noble. He bowed his head.

“The pleasure is mine.” He says, words rolling off his tongue like honey off a spoon. She doesn’t show it, but beside you, your sister is expectant. It would make for a fun jest if not for the matters he was here for. You were certain he was not the type to call upon anyone, especially without reason.

“I’m here to call upon Miss (Name).” His eyes land on you, cold, calculating. Electrifying. Your sister’s eyes drift to you, her brows rising unexpectedly. Frankly, if he had called on either one of you, it would still be quite the surprise. To everyone’s knowledge, you and the Marquess have only been introduced and nothing more. Then you meet your mother’s eyes and swear you see her pupils flicker to slits–her mind wrapping around you like a serpent as if to squeeze a response out of you. Swiftly, you meet his gaze, heart hammering.

“My lord,” You approach him with a curtsy.

“My lady.” He echoes, a sudden twinge of dryness in his once honeyed tone as if the mere thought of your presence vexes him. You do not remark, under the watchful eyes of your mother and sister, how can you?

Across the room, your mother and sister are sitting on the sofa, your sister suddenly interested in embroidery as your mother guides her through, though with your mother’s lack of nagging, you are acutely aware she is attempting to listen. Thankfully, you have found yourself on the opposite side of the room, at the sweet table. You look over the various decadent desserts, ones that would only antagonize the growing pit in your stomach.

“What brings you, My Lord?” You break the silence softly, not making eye contact.

“Not for what you, or your mama, thinks, that is certain.” He must believe that he has insulted you. Your lip quirks into a smirk before relaxing. The two of you are exceptionally stiff; you shift over to the window, a pleasant smile on your face, but only for your mother and Lucia.

“I had hoped not,” you say sweetly, words like sugar to combat his once honeyed ones. A huff of air escapes him, and the nostrils of his narrow nose bridge flare.

“I’d like to discuss the incident at the races.” His voice lowers, his gaze briefly flicking in the direction of your mother and sister. You keep your eyes on the window, beginning to piece together why he’s come. He is going to blackmail you, that is for certain. You wrinkle your nose and lift your chin, ready to defend yourself.

“What about it?”

“I want you to promise me that you won’t speak a word of it.” He mumbles. His tone was stern as if he had any authority over you. You bite back a grin; if not for your mother’s presence, you would have barked out a laugh. Or not, maybe.

“Are you intending to blackmail me, my lord? Because I will have you know that your reputation will be just as tainted as mine, if not more-”

“No, that is not what I’m doing, girl.” His jaw flexes and his gaze narrows at you, sharp–like a serpent. The crease in your brow is undeniable at this point,

“I never intended to tell anyone. I do not care. I am not a gossip.” You whip your attention back to the window and gaze at the lush green grass that stretches on for what seems to be miles.

“How can I trust you?” Does he truly have nothing better to do than to declare a debutante his enemy?

“Because I was alone with you, unchaperoned. I have no more reason to talk than you do.” Your gaze flits up to him, you wish this would end. Desperately. Quite frankly, you wish Lord Luna would call on you instead rather than wasting your precious time. Perhaps, you would never have discovered Lord Kaiser in his fit in the first place. Whatever he may have been suffering from. Perhaps a disease, you begin to wonder if he is infectious.

“Right.” The only word that slips from his mouth in response, his gaze narrowed.

“I’m glad we–” You begin, but are cut off by the gust of wind from his quick pivot and advance towards the door. He stops before it, bowing his head before your mother and sister, who both stare daggers through you. To add insult to injury, Victor crosses the threshold, stopping dead in his tracks as he is passed by the Marquess. All three of your family members looked anything but pleased.

“What could you have possibly said to offend him?” Lucia is the first to speak as she crosses the room swiftly. She’s furious. “You cannot be serious, the Marquess has not called upon a single lady this season–he has not even danced. He has not engaged. He calls on you?” Your sister’s perfectly manicured hands ball into fists. She acts as if she were the one who was rejected. You sigh, attention shifting to your mother, who joins your sister’s side.

“I hope you know that if he opens his mouth, your season is as good as over. As well as Lucia’s.”

“He won’t,” you say sternly, glaring at your sister before she can open her mouth. “I will not relinquish any details, but I can assure you we are far from ruined. He is a child of a man, I know that much.” Lucia just scoffs and heads back for the sofa, your mother’s eyes remaining on you.

“He is a brute of a man, let him go, mother.” Victor’s voice emerges from behind your mother.

“Nonsense, he is the Marquess. She had the opportunity to become the Marchioness.” Your mother’s words earn a glare from Victor, who sighs and turns to face you with his hand gesturing towards you, fingers spread with his palm face down.

“He is an abuser of power, he is a cold man, I have heard things about him. Men talk too. My judgment will be taken into consideration, understand?” Victor’s eyes are wide and bouncing between you and your mother. When he receives no response, his brow quirks, the lines on his forehead deepening. You and your mother nod in response. Your mother retreats to the sofa, and the breath you were holding in escapes you. Victor is watching you closely, seeming to be the only one pleased with this outcome.

“Do not bother yourself with men like him. He is a lonely sap and has only the company of the bottle.” Your brother sighs. “I would never know sleep again if I were to send you off with a man like himself.” Victor places a firm pat upon your shoulder, however, it is not strong enough to tear your gaze away from the threshold, heart hammering. You only manage a nod.

The day is young, your mother decides it to be the perfect opportunity for a promenade. Your sister pesters you as you get ready, Lucia examining her cuticles as she waits for the ladies’ maids to finish your hair. A simple updo is nothing compared to the elegant designs you display for a ball or even a soiree.

“Just what did you say to him?”

“Nothing, it must’ve been my silence that offended him.” You say before rising to your feet, once the last floral decoration was embedded into your up-do. Her nose wrinkles.

“That’s simply a lie, men love when you’re pliant and allow them to boast.” She’s caught you dead in a lie, Lucia being more knowledgeable about this subject than you, fuels the heat that rushes to your cheeks.

“Lucia, I will not speak of this. Do you understand?”

“You’re Bird-Witted.” She huffs, turning her perfect little nose up at you before heading off with a gentle patter of her heels. You pay no mind to her words, palms smoothing over the fabric of your dress. You thank Lenore before following out the way your sister left.

The weather is nothing short of perfection. You walk with your arm hooked through Laurence’s, Victor escorts your sisters, and your father walks with your mother up ahead. On the glistening river, a couple rides by on a canoe. The girl was twirling her sunny-colored parasol.

“Say we rent a canoe, sister, and tip Lucia out of it.” Laurence drops a suggestion into your ear. A suggestion you find most satisfying at this time. Lips quirking into a devious smirk.

“Only this time.” You joke, still not pleased about how she reacted to your interaction with the Marquess. Laurence is thankfully none the wiser. He rambles on about whatever mischievous ideas come to his mind, his voice fading into the noise as you catch a set of eyes on you from across the river. Walking parallel to you and your family across the river is the Marquess, eyes locked on you. He had a girl on his arm, the ever-so-persistent Porsha. Almost as if your morning adventure had been a figment of your imagination.

His gaze was unwavering and sharp. He wore a high black collar, paired with something blue, and his usual black gloves. He paid no mind to what the woman beside him spoke about, her gaze ahead as you watched her lips flap ceaselessly beside him. Trailing behind them is her mama, chin lifted and back straight. She looked down at the passersby through her nose. You bite back a smirk, though your lips soon drop as you meet his gaze again.

“Sister?” Laurence asks, following your gaze. Your brows shoot up at the realization.

“Yes?” You reply before his lips curl into a devilish grin.

“Oh, I see.” Please, don’t. “Porsha, Hm?” His words come out quietly as he faces you. “The Marquess looks even more miserable than before.” You give a forced laugh in agreement, nodding as your eyes wander back to the tall blonde. Gaze locked on him, one he swiftly reciprocates with a scowl. You avert your own, keeping your eyes ahead. Though you still feel those eyes of his burning through your form.

Much to your dismay, the bridge is approaching. Ladies and gentlemen are crossing from either side of the river. The impending sense of doom creeps in on you as you watch Porsha and the Marquess cross the bridge. Though it is not him you worry so much about.

“Lady surname, what a surprise!” Porsha’s voice greets you. Her elbow hooked through the Marquess’s, yanking him back from walking any further. Behind the two, her mother appears with that same serpent smile. A single dark spiral of a curl hanging over Porsha’s shoulder.

“Lady Halton.” Your mother greets the other two ladies with a forced smile, her shoulders tense as her head cocks to the side. “The weather is wonderful, isn't it?”

“Indeed, it is. It was the perfect opportunity for my Porsha to spend more time with the Marquess.” Her lips set into a line as she smiles, head tipping to the side as her eyes dart to her daughter and Kaiser. Porsha gives you and your sister a sharp smile. You look to the Marquess, who's already staring at you. Your gaze drops to the floor, brow twitching. You fear you may crumble to bits beneath his azure gaze. Lucia does what she does best, bringing her voice to a pitch before tipping her head to the side.

“I do agree, being so early in your second season, one can only imagine how hasty a lady would need to be.” Victor clears his throat, cutting your sister off before securing his arm through hers tightly. Porsha scowls at Lucia as she’s dragged off by Victor. Your mother and Lady Halton share dry, dragged-out laughs. Meanwhile, you follow the rest of your family over the bridge.

It’s a losing battle against your self-control as your head turns to look behind you, Porsha and her mother busy conversing–or throwing grown woman temper tantrums–so engrossed in their feelings, they fail to see the Marquess staring at you for what may very well be the one hundredth time. His gaze is stern, commanding, and exuding power. You’d be a fool to deny it didn’t ignite something within you, something you can’t quite name. This time, he breaks your eye contact first. To which you swiftly look ahead.
