RAHHHHH LOVE ATTACK! *tackles him and squishes his little cheeks before peppering his face in kisses*

💌 —

Rafayel's face burns brightly the moment he is bombarded with kisses, and he automatically closes his eyes to get away from the overwhelming sensation of your lips against his skin. He is already quite sensitive to touch, so he squeals in his place and tries to get a grip on you to stop. Alas, it is too late!! You know exactly how to get to him, and he finds it infuriating and endearing all the same.

Embarrassed by the fact that he is succumbing to something so simple yet overly affectionate, Rafayel sinks deeper into your arms and clings onto you like a koala hoarding a tree branch for its own. To say that he looks utterly dishevelled is an understatement, for the usually aloof man in magazine spotlights and the epitome of nonchalance during interviews is long gone - watered down into a flushed puppy who doesn't even know he's gripping onto your clothes.

"(Nameee), Stoppp!! Stop it!!!" he huffs out a breathy chuckle, which is meant to be an angry puff of air to showcase his anger - yet it seems even his expressions have backfired against him. Getting his hands on you is not the problem, it is the part where he has to pull you away. Truth be told, even he cannot help but pull your wrist impossibly closer to his lips. "You're such a meanie, have you noticed that I actually haven't been able to control myself? It's your fault."

But poke at him all you want. A witty predator always has an alternative to get what it wants.

// I haven't been active in this account lately, so I'll be back to answering asks after work 💙 I was lucky enough to get Raf's new card in my first 6 single pulls and then Xavier's 2 pulls after 🫣😭😭 hopefully I haven't used up all my luck for this month!!

Yo Rafayel! I got a question. If someone you know suddenly transforms into a.... cat... will you still like them or nah? Come on now, be honest dude... >:)👏

💌 —

“I don't understand why you keep mentioning cats in our conversations!” Rafayel grimaces, his arms crossing around his chest to shield himself away from you. Just the thought of their perky fur and microviruses are enough to have him glaring daggers towards a wall. Maybe if he imagined it was a cat, it would make him feel better. But then again, he doesn't actually want to see one. “And don't cats carry around diseases too? Rabies? Fleas? Humans really are careless as they are equally stupid to trust those monsters. To answer your question, it depends. Are they someone I trust or are just someone I know? If so, then I'll just ignore them as I would even if they weren't a cat. Liking them is out of the picture.”

Hey Raf? What's the culture of Lemuria like? What are your customs? What are your traditions and norms? Is the art created there different from ours? I'd love to hear it if you'd like, because I'd really like to learn more about you, what shaped you, and what you care so much about. Maybe I could even participate in doing some of the customs too! It would be an honour Raf ^_^

“Lemurians are passionate creatures. To us, art is also a sensation. If you only rely on your eyes to judge, it loses its emotional meaning.” It's evident from what you see, Lemurians are driven by what they are dedicated to the most. When they put their heart onto something, the intensity of the devotion towards their craft often gets them recognized for it. Talia with her singing, Rafayel with his paintings, and the picturesque beauty of Lemuria's art history. Perhaps it is what differentiates both worlds from one another. Humans focus too much on the process of making rather than the sensation that comes from it. The idea comes from their minds, not from their heart. Expressionism is slowly getting lost through time, and the concept of art is barely comprehended anymore. In fact, the judgement that came from others towards his art seldomly bothered him. In the end, his feelings are only his to understand.

”And as for our culture...” The boundless land and sky had once been a dream of many Lemurians, yet they couldn't have imagined turning it into a never-ending nightmare. Lemurians... Are also sentimental, just as they are passionately driven. Their heartfelt traditions aside - Lemuria is a civilization not only forgotten about, but also heavily misunderstood. Tales of sirens and mermaids never let on the true beauty that was of Lemuria. Deceived, taken advantage of, captured and tortured as he was forced to endure the loss of the spark inside of him, Rafayel still remembers the hoarseness tone in his voice from that very day. He sung not to serenade, but to mourn the loss of his beloved.

Rafayel blinks, finally reawakening from the repetitive call of his name. He realizes that he is no longer stuck in the velvet waters of what he used to call his home, and his hands aren't dyed from the crimson traces left by his comrades, but with the paint he made together with you.

You.

He graces you with a wistful smile, stringing in between the borders of longing and pain. They say the eyes are the windows of the soul, yet you cannot understand the emotions that dance around his irises. “Nevermind, I don't want to talk today. Can I just spend some quiet time with you instead?”

In between painting and holding your hand, Rafayel hums a melancholic tune. Perhaps in the future, you'd know of its meaning.

[romxnticism]

Rafayel, I will not hurt you or abandon you. You are safe with me. So please turn to me when you are hurting or need help. You don't have to shoulder all your burdens alone. You help me with so much, and I wish you'd let me do the same for you. You are always telling me not to act tough. Well, right back at ya. Sure, you make a big deal about a papercut, but I can see in your eyes that you are dealing with a lot more than you let show on the surface. I can handle it. Turn to me for help. I'm not fragile. I can walk through the dark with you, as your bodyguard, your best friend, and your lover.

💌 —

For a thing such as love, Rafayel is the type to feel it deeply. His heart tightens in his chest, and all of a sudden he feels vulnerable, his arms heavy with the need to hold you- or better yet, be held by you. He kneels on the ground and puts his head on your lap, content with looking like a man desperate for a sliver of your touch. Rafayel closes his eyes, letting the overwhelming sensation of his feelings soothe his frayed nerves. “Am I not too high maintenance for you?” He muses, his nose brushing over your fingertips in an affectionate graze. Despite masking on an obvious exterior for the sake of putting up with his responsibilities, Rafayel had always been vulnerable. His eyes, as beautiful as they are, always carry a melancholic glint everytime he professes his love. “I suppose I'm like a goldfish in that regard... And just like one, I constantly demand attention and reassurance. You'll get yourself stuck with a stray who continuously visits your house for a chance to experience what being loved feels like.” His voice falters as he continues, and he's back to his habit of staring into nothing again, completely lost in his thoughts.

There are just some things that he cannot say, even if you ask.

[romxnticism]

hiii you're accepting anons right? if so can i be 🦭 anon? love your portrayal of raf, he is so cute 😭

Of course!! Welcome, 🦭 anon!! You have a special place in my heart 💓

[romxnticism]

My turn! My turn! My turn on the claw machine!!!!! 😔😔

💌 —

“Later! Later when I get this plushie for you!!” Rafayel eyes the plushie behind the glass with extreme focus, almost as if he is threatening it to come out. He's so close yet still so far, with only a translucent wall getting in his way. He has heard of others using their evol to cheat whenever the staff aren't looking, but for a fire evolver like him, the plushie would just be burnt to the crisp! He presses the button and follows the claw on its way down the bottom, and just as he thought he finally got the angle right, it lands on the empty spot beside it, completely irrelevant to the plushie's placement.

Silently and without looking at you, he grabs another token out of the box in your hands. “...That one was an obvious win. It's just the perspective that tricked my eyes into thinking I got the right angle. This time, I'll look at it from all sides of the glass.” Please be sure to not let him continue to look like a fool as he circles around the claw machine.

hi hello raf, uh, would you well, be okay with me asking for a hug and some words of comfort since work has been extra horrible and my burnout is just on the horizon so- it's fine though if you don't want to, okbye- *starts to run 🏃‍♀️*

💌 —

“What makes you think that I won't?” Rafayel gives you a loving smile, his arms wide open as an invitation for you to come running over. When the harsh tides of life come crashing towards your way, Rafayel will always be there to hold you ashore. His arms warmly wrap around your figure, like a cozy blanket on a chilly night. If anything, it looked as though it was Rafayel who wanted the hug. He holds onto you tight, and as tight as one would do if they were given the chance to hold the world in their arms. “No matter what happens, you should always take the liberty to enjoy life. Work is important, but not as important as you. You deserve the time to rest and rejuvenate.”

Amidst his gentle whispers, he slowly pulls back to create a comfortable distance between the both of you. A spark of a pale flame appears on his fingertips and dances around him passionately, until it burns into a pink butterfly that dissipates into flares the moment it pecks the corner of your lips. It didn't hurt, more like it felt like a real kiss from Rafayel himself.

“Just like the waves of the ocean, life ebbs and flows. It has its highs and lows, but there's always a new dawn on the horizon. So, whenever things feel too heavy or overwhelming, remember that it's just a passing phase and soon it shall pass.”

[romxnticism]

I hope I’m doing this correctly if not I’m sorry I have never done this before)

Ok so Rafayel what is your favorite art medium to use and what do you do when you wants to draw/pant something but when ever you do the drawing/painting it never feels right

Because that’s what is happening to me right now and it stinks

💌 —

As a painter, his answer would have already been obvious without needing to ask. But carrying a canvas anywhere can be quite the hassle, and Rafayel sees his art as a form of self expressionism. Just give him a pen and paper and he'll be happily sketching. “I like a lot of art forms. Anything can be art as long as you put in the passion to make it. Like for example, watercolors are fun to work with, and drawing with oil pastels end with you and a messy masterpiece. Though, I do prefer painting. No medium is like the touch and flow of paint on a surface. It allows me to express myself while also creating a physical object that can be treasured. The canvas takes on a life of its own, making it almost like a living entity. Plus, it's easy to mix the colors and create new ones, which adds diversity.” Not only that, but his beautiful mess of a studio adds onto the reflection of his being. From the sky blue paint that's been intentionally scattered on the ground, the vases of roses complimenting the artistic feel of his home, anything and everything is his canvas. The splashes are no mere accidents, but are a connotation of his freedom.

Rafayel puts a hand on his chin to your second question. He knows how to answer, but somehow can't find the right words for it. After all, even the strangest things can spark up his motivation to create. “Whenever I feel that my art isn't flowing properly, it's probably because I'm forcing myself too much, or that I'm lacking inspiration to finish it. I like to take my time to completely rekindle that feeling again. Art is never meant to be rushed.”

Rafayel takes your hand and leads you towards the cabinet sitting in the corner of his room, filled with art supplies and patterned paper. It has a childish sensation to it , but perhaps it's something you currently need. “For now, let's go doodle with some crayons! The best way to get your inspiration back is to feel like a child again. I won't divide our spaces anymore, so we can freedraw the entire paper.”

Moments later, you see Rafayel doodling ducks on the corner of your shared drawing.

[romxnticism]

Yo Rafayel! Has anyone ever told you that you're a goofy goober? If not then i'm glad to be the first. You're welcome ;)👍 *magically disappears into thin air*

💌 —

“Excuse me? What an insult! And you're planning on leaving just like that? You really are heartless.” Rafayel averts his gaze from you with a pout, his brows furrowing into a calculating curve. Though, the name is quite adorable. The thought of it reminds him of an old friend about the size of his palm. “Goober sounds like something I would name a fish. Actually, I have a fish in mind right now. It's about the size of my palm, but not because it's big. It's just really fat.” He says, putting up his palm to emphasize on said fish's weight. “It actually deserves that silly nickname. One time, I happen to pass by it in the aquarium but it completely ignored me. It . . .” And so, the endless chattering of Rafayel began. Good luck getting out of this one.

[romxnticism]

i can't believe i'm this incredibly stupid to like you so much... but i guess i'll gladly be dumb for life if it means i get to have you. *gives a peck on the cheek*

💌 —

His breath momentarily gets caught in his throat at the intimate gesture, and a huff of a laugh merely escapes him the second you pull yourself away. For Rafayel, loving you stupid is meaningless. When he loves, he loves with his heart in its entirety. The only problem is trying to explain something he feels so deeply. “Silly girl. You're making it sound like loving me is a chore.” He gives the side of your cheek a gentle thug out of impulse, or maybe it was just the endearing expression on your face that made him want to put a hand on you. Nonetheless, his playfulness disappears as quick as it had came. "If I had to explain my love for you, I don't think I'll say it's stupid. It's more of like... Hearing about your favourite tale all over again.” Rafayel chuckles, his eyes crinkling and a love-struck smile returning to his face. “Your existence is a treasure that only exists in fairytales. I'm lucky to have found you.”

(“as I have in many lifetimes.”)

💌 —

Rafayel flinches at the all too menacing sound of a meow inside his studio, his eyes widening and form recoiling in a comic fashion. “Is that what I think it is?” he asks, a dramatic change of tone present in his voice as his eyes confirm the monstrous furball that is in your arms. He steps back a few times to avoid taking in the full imagery of what is before him, unwilling to even play around with you when you jokingly lift it off the ground. “What are you doing? Get it away from me! Why did you bring one here? You're supposed to be my bodyguard!” Rafayel whines, his hand quick to point towards you like you've done something to betray him. In which, yes, you definitely have! “I-If you dare try to move it around any further, then leave my house right now!”

[romxnticism]

rafayel, would you still love me if i was a worm 🥹

💌 —

“Would you still love me if I was the worm?” He laughs, quickly turning the question back to you. “Just kidding. Well, it depends. But I have to ask, is my beloved a picky worm? Do I have to buy high quality dirt to please you? The answer depends on how financially stable I'll be in the process.”
