Fun HarmoKnight Facts! #10
We're in the double digits now! Whoo! Anywhoo, you may already know that the Legendary Staff that Tempo uses pulsates to the beat of the song... but did you know that the UI does the same as well? Because it does! It's a pretty handy indicator to see how fast the song goes, so use it to your advantage to time your actions right! [BPMs are included for funsies! Also yes i did have to grab a metronome recording off youtube for warrior vs winterwulf why do you ask]

I think this is how Viper would sing if hes not trying to sound really good? I'm not saying this song doesn't sound good, his voice is beautiful here but idk how to explain it
I think it'd be cute if he really only sang like that around Stinger
Also, just for fun, this is how Viper normally sings:
He can try singing in other styles (no guarantee it'll be good though), but if you just asked him to sing something, that's what you're gonna get
And this is how he sings slower and prettier sounding songs
Everyone knows him for singing more higher pitched, making his voice sound "squeakier" and singing at faster tempos, and while he does love doing that, he also has so much fun singing slower songs with lower notes. He likes sounding as pretty as he can

Tumblr media
Ch. 7 | Ch. 9
Series Masterlist Here | Regular Masterlist Here
Synopsis: You pick up where you and Ryuzaki left off... and things get steamy. Right after a peak moment of climax, you're interrupted by an apologetic Matsuda who leaves behind a very interesting set of documents. The next day on campus, you run into Light's new....girlfriend?!

a/n: at the end!
WC: 9.4k
~~~~~~~~~~
If you had to guess the exact tempo, you would put his heart rate at a speeding 170 bpm as it pulsates beneath your lips. For a man of relatively few words, the sound of his voice fills the room as you bite and suck on the flesh of his throat and grind down on his hips. Gruff sighs and moans spill from his mouth as his head tilts further back to urge you even closer to his neck.
You hollow your cheeks and increase the suction on the sensitive part of skin while your nose tickles the area under the gonial angle of his jaw. One hand is flat on his chest to keep him relatively still while the other is pushing away long strands of dark hair that fall in thick tufts around his nape. While your torsos are relatively stable, L’s hips are twitching and squirming as you sit on his pelvis angled over him.
“Nnghh.. Ahh!-- t-that’s…!”
He bucks his hardening erection up into your fully clothed cunt and furrows his eyebrows; eyes squinted shut as his mind seemingly melts from the new sensations flowing through him. 
After a few more moments, you run your tongue flat over the bruised skin in a silent apology for the abuse and pull back from his neck to admire the work. The radio is still playing idly in the background, but the pants from Ryuzaki’s lips are the real music to your ears.
As quickly as you pull away, his eyes are shooting open and pouring into yours; black pupils dialated to dissolve the gray irises, he searches your face for reasoning of the pause.
“You.. finished?” he asks, hands keeping you firmly planted on top of him as his voice shows obvious signs of disappointment. 
You shrug and smile to yourself, tracing the outline of the blossoming dark purple and red bruise that glows against his pale skin. “Mmmm, I can leave a few more if you want.”
Ryuzaki blinks once and immediately nods before peeling his eyes down to where his hands dig into the plush curve of your hips. Swallowing, he leans his head back down and stretches it back a bit more to open up the entirety of his throat to whatever you have in mind. 
The protrusion of his Adam’s apple bobs once in anticipation as you swing back down and run a flurry of small kisses around the other side of his neck. Lips moving and pecking every square inch, Ryuzaki lets out a mixture of nearly giggles and gasps as you tickle him with the action and shifts in his laid out position.
“Gonna be hard to leave another mark if you keep moving around.” You murmur against his throat before sinking your teeth into a chunk of flesh and sucking on it. 
Fingers dig into your waist from the sudden action and Ryuzaki shudders with his head back as you continue the assault on his neck. “C-Can’t necessarily.. haaa help it– …. This position isn’t optimal for… ngh critical thinking… “
Ah yes, his explanation for the strange sitting positions was to help him optimally think– to cut off circulation to his limbs to prioritize blood flow to the brain [so he claims.]
You run your tongue against the chunk of flesh in your mouth and move to another spot on his throat before grinding down slightly. 
“Ahh-!”
So now that he’s all sprawled out beneath you…that means the blood is finally running to the other parts of his body. The raging hard on in his jeans jerking up into the crotch of your sweatpants is more than enough evidence. 
Pulling your lips from his neck and sitting upright once more, Ryuzaki lays beneath you panting as if he had just run a marathon. Cheeks flushed pink and chest heaving as he attempts to ground himself, he only peels his eyes open once the radio cuts to a run of advertisements. 
“You ok there?” You tease lightly, enjoying the way he seems to melt beneath you. 
L swallows and drags his blown out eyes over the bummy outfit adorning your body as if it were the most sexual arousing pieces of fabric he’s ever seen. Hands that lingered on your waist tug to the kangaroo pouch of your hoodie before pinching the lower hem of the article. 
“It’s my turn, right?”
Your coy smirk falters slightly as Ryuzaki pushes himself up onto his elbows and slowly grinds his boner against your cunt as the angle of the position changes.
You blink slightly, taken aback. “Huh? O-oh..”
He sits up all the way and leans against the armrest to keep himself upright before leaning his torso to essentially hug you. Still sitting on his lap, his face is eye-level with your breasts as he tilts his head up to stare into your eyes; his chin and part of his cheek are essentially squished into your right tit. 
“Yea…you can leave some on me now.”
Sharp canines poke from his lips as Ryuzaki smiles up at you with eyes glazed over before he turns his attention back to the oversized fabric that keeps him from your flesh. Slender fingers tug the hem once more. “So…can I take this off then?”
You suck in a breath and admire the image of him so patiently sitting beneath you; the dull sound of the radio and the food on the table long forgotten as Ryuzaki looks up with his neck littered with a variety of markings you left on him. 
“Of course, L.”
Ryuzaki pauses slightly but swallows it before you can notice the small shift in his demeanor. The fabric of the oversized hoodie bundles together as he pushes it up and you take the folds to pull it over your head completely. 
Your bummy ‘at home outfit’ isn’t risqué by any means, now sitting on his lap with uni sweatpants and a tank top, but the exposure of flesh makes you shiver as he takes it all in. To be fair, it’s the most exposed version of you he’s ever seen.
Dark eyes trail from the band of your sweatpants up to the soft skin of your biceps, to the dip of your collarbone that pokes up from your basic tank top. You squirm slightly in your position, feeling so vulnerable despite the layers of clothing you both still wear; the shift of your hips grinds against his erection once more.
As if snapping back to the task at hand, Ryuzaki sits further upright to shift you lower in his lap to point where his head is back at the same level as yours. Slender hands raise to push a few strands away from your face before tilting his head forward to mold his lips into yours. 
The objective is to mark up your neck, instead he rocks his head in a waving motion to keep his lips attached to yours. Ryuzaki pulls back once to tilt the opposite direction and reconnect your mouths over and over again as if he needed it to live. Nearly every kiss you share feels ‘different’, as if more emotion is being poured into the action from the last. 
He kisses you like it’s the most natural thing in the world to do– as if the stress and worry of the task force doesn’t exist; as if you were simply two twenty-something year olds with nothing else to do but enjoy each other’s presence. 
Ryuzaki pulls back first but keeps his eyes shut as his lips trail to the soft perfumed flesh of your neck. He breathes deeply through his nose, the light air gust making you giggle at the sensation, before he latches onto the same pulse point you had marked on him. 
The sensation is one you haven’t felt in a while, and you can’t help but lean into desire for more. Tangling your hands in his dark hair, sighing when he pinches his teeth around the skin, and rocking your pelvis against his erection with craving. 
“I thought you said we weren’t supposed to move” He teases before trailing his lips to another spot and running his tongue along it. 
You chuckle and let out a slight groan when he begins to suck another large bruise on your jugular. “Ahh– would you rather me stop?”
The moment you pause to dry hump against his crotch, Ryuzaki bites the skin a little harder and groans into it. Reverberations making you shiver, L slides a hand from your waist to the under plush of your thigh to pull you back into the rocking motion on his lap. 
“N-Never said…” he murmurs along your neck, placing far more hickies on you than you got to on him. “Never said to stop…”
Ryuzaki continues biting and twitching his hips up into you until he’s effectively left an exponential amount of bruises against your flesh. From just under your jaw, to the ridges of your collarbone, to the very seam of your neckline above your breasts is covered in bite marks and hickies. 
The raw feeling makes you shudder, pulling his hair slightly to tug his mouth away from its current position on your shoulder. 
“I think you’ve done enough, no?”
Ryuzaki’s hooded eyes barely look into yours, instead he finds more focus on all the other parts of your body that seem to call his name– waiting to be signed with his mouth. 
He pouts his lip when you keep his head a safe few inches away. “Mmmm, but there’s a few more areas not covered yet…”
It’s a strange sensation to see such a renowned detective effectively pouting at being denied biting your shoulder, but there’s bigger issues at hand. 
You run a hand to push his hair away from his face and smile to yourself at the way it messily refalls to cover his eyes, before pushing a hand flat on his chest to lay down flat once more. With a short sigh, you stand on your knees to kneel between his splayed on the couch, watching the way he tilts his head in careful attentiveness to the action.
Ghosting a finger over the swell in his jeans of his throbbing erection, any hesitation you’ve been harboring over the past few days is thrown out the window. You need this.. And with a stressful lifestyle of solving the world’s most difficult cases, you’re more than certain he probably needs this too. 
Pinching the hem of his baggy white crewneck, you look up at L and silently tug it; he blinks once and places his hands on top of yours for a moment before nodding and guiding the fabric up and off. 
The material hits the throw rug of your living room floor in a silent fall as you take your time to admire the open canvas of his torso. He’s pale. Like.. REALLY pale. His skin is fair enough that the blue and purple veins that tangle inside his body can be traced rather easily with your fingertips.
Ryuzaki stares at your face, trying his hardest to read your mind as you drink in the physique he always keeps hidden from the sun and everyone else’s gaze. Years of sitting inside in front of screens and paper documents have left him with a nimble build with a low body fat percentage, but not necessarily boney. 
It’s obvious he’s athletic of sorts, hearing a few stories of his tennis match against Light before you joined the task force, but he’s not sporting muscles like a gym bro. There’s a softness to his belly when he breathes deeply, and touching the faint outline of his abs makes him tense to reveal the beginning of an Adonis Belt. 
L squirms slightly as you silently trace the swell of his pecs before finally trailing down his navel to the very obvious beginning of a happy trail that disappears into his jeans. His erection throbs in ache the moment your fingertips even ghost the copper button of the denim restricting it. 
“Is it… ok for you?” He whispers. 
You blink once and turn back to him with a reassuring smile on your lips. “Oh, yes! Yes… its– you’re perfect.”
Ryuzaki lays as still as a cadaver, unable to move as your praise for his physique renders his mind completely blank for the first time in a long while. Though he doesn’t dislike the feeling of being out of control. If it means his physical senses get to be at 100% performance then he’d gladly lay beneath you whenever you call for it. 
You smile down at him and lean to place a slow kiss to his lips as Ryuzaki regains the ability to move and places his hands gently on your shoulder blades– unsure of exactly where to put them at a time like now. 
Dragging your lips away from his mouth, you graze further south from his neck, leaving nips and kisses to his erect nipples, the upper swell of his pecs, until you reach the soft flesh of his stomach. Hovering and crawling down lower and lower, your lips plant small pecks to the light ridges of a V-line while your chest is flush against his clothed cock. 
“Oh…” a low grumble escapes L’s lips as his head tilts back into the armrest and digs his hands into your hair out of primal instinct of wanting you to go even further. “Ngh..that’s good…feels good..”
You blush at the praise and continue until the pubes that litter his lower navel tickle your nose and your breath is ghosting the most sensitive area of his body. 
It’s hot. Everything is hot. 
The mature resolve of a genius has melted into the pathetically yearning man beneath you. The way your thighs stick together as your arousal soaks through your painties in a pathetic need. How, despite all the stupid pretenses you both use as an excuse to see each other, your bodies both know how genuine the desire is. 
Tracing the belt loop of his jeans, your gaze falls on his erection once more before his hands are tugging your head up and away from his cock. 
“W-Wait.”
Immediately you pause and sit upright, cursing yourself for letting your stupid hormones get in the way and moving too fast for his comfort. 
Rocking back, he winces slightly when you tug your hands away and raise them in apology. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to pressure you at all… we can stop–”
“No–!”  L swallows his rushed answer and sheepishly looks down at his discarded shirt. “I mean… trust me I want to keep going…”
He pauses to make a gesture to his very obvious arousal with his chin before tracing the elastic waistband of your sweatpants absentmindedly– as if not touching you would be the cause of his death. 
“I don’t want this or anything further to happen under the explanation that you’re doing it to ‘show me what you did with your ex’ or ‘because it’s part of the job’.” He states, slowly working out the sentence as it processes in his mind. 
You wet your lips and look at him, all of him, beneath you as he continues. “I know the little stunts we’ve pulled in the past were for protection, and I still stand by their usefulness. But… I don’t think I can lay here and spend time with you and be fine with pretending it’s all part of an act when I think there’s something more going on.”
“I agree.”
It’s the only words you can find in this very sexually tense moment to describe the mutual understanding he’s just put on the table. Is it a proclamation of love and a devoted long term relationship? No. Well.. if it is, then you aren’t really able to gauge that level of commitment without something a bit more clear.
But it’s an acknowledgement that whatever tension you were feeling, he was too. A shared agreement of exclusivity which opens the door for a face-to-face chat of a real label. For now though, it’s enough to feel comfortable moving forward.
Ryuzaki places his hands back on yours and places them idly at his navel once more. “You agree?”
“Yea...” You run a soft graze along his knuckles before looking up at the half naked man on your sofa. “I want this because it’s with you. Not just because of the case, but because I like this– I like us.”
Ryuzaki half undressed with a raging hard on isnt’ the ideal scenario to sit and have a proper conversation on something more official, but this mutual understanding is more than enough to calm both of your anxieties it seems. 
L smiles gently and blinks a few times to himself, no doubt processing not only a new wave of physical simulations he may have never previously felt– but also experiencing the feelings of something more than friends for the time ever in his life. He seems to be taking it well, drinking in the information before swallowing thickly and releasing his grasp on your hands letting you continue taking the lead. 
You let out a small chuckle of air, as the erotic scene is acknowledged by you both, before you lean down to pepper a few more kisses to his torso. The light sighs and twitches that escape the man beneath you are more relaxed and natural as his body loosens up to the pleasure coursing through him. 
Peeking at him one more time, you turn your attention to his jeans and release the button and fly before shimmying them down. Ryuzaki raises his hips on your command to tug the material to his mid thigh before groaning loudly when your hands ghost over the very large saturated stain on the front of his boxers. 
It looks nearly painful. Light gray boxers host a sopping puddle at the peak of the tent as his cock throbs and twitches at being one step closer to freedom. You trace the outline of his swollen tip once, then twice– enjoying the way he squirms in anticipation for more, before moving to grasp the flimsy elastic of the material. 
“Ngh.. t-that’s nice..”
A smile adorns your lips as you trace the length one more time before tugging the fly of the boxers open just an inch to let his cock slip partially through. The change in temperature makes him suck in a shallow breath as you admire the scene in front of you. 
Though not totally freed from the fabric, you can tell he’s decently long with an average weight; his tip is a warm pale blush color [#d1a19b] that shines with pearls of precum dripping from the slit. Smearing the drippings with your thumb down to his frenulum and rubbing slightly, Ryuzaki throws his head back as his hands clench the sofa cushions below. 
“You ok?” You soothe, releasing the slight pinch on his tip to rub a bit more of his own lubrication down the throbbing vein that sits underneath his shaft. 
“Y-Yea, of course.”
If it weren’t for the way his mouth hung partially open and his voice was wavering with sensitivity, it would almost look like Ryuzaki was in pain. His eyes are wired shut and his knuckles are pure white from their grip on the cushion– though the way he profusely leaks and twitches makes you wonder if he’s so hard that it actually does hurt. 
You hum once and remove your hand, to which he immediately cracks an eye open, until he feels you shimmy his boxers down to join his jeans. Now fully freed, you can take a better moment to enjoy the complete sight.
7, maybe 7.5 inches, throb against his navel as a thick and untamed patch of pubic hair covers his base and most of his balls. His cock is thrumming in an eager desire while his balls hang heavy, most likely undrained from days without the time to jack off. 
How often does a guy like him even masturbate? It’s not like he sleeps often either… so when's the last time he could take a moment to himself?
You shake out the meaningless thoughts and can feel your nipples hardening against your bra and your panties becoming uncomfortably sticky. L can feel you’re taking an extra moment, but before he can question himself again, you lean forward and let a long string of saliva drip from your lips and land on his cock. 
Smearing it with his precum, you give Ryuzaki a few testing pumps and gauge his reaction before leaning down to place a few licks to his tip. By the time your lips wrap around him fully and begin to suck, the man is gone. 
“Haaaa oh my– ngh…!”
There’s not a thought in his head as you inch down lower and lower until your nose is tickled by the long strands that litter his pelvis. His hips twitch beneath you, edging up into your mouth until you gag slightly at the pressure of his tip rutting against your throat.
“Ah s-sorry, just ngh feels…. Haaa”
The lack of a coherent thought process is made up for with physical sensitivity as his hands leave the sofa cushions and tangle in your hair. His cock throbs against the flat of your tongue as you take turns between hollowing your cheeks and sucking, and spitting against his length and jacking him off when your jaw begins to ache. 
Ryuzaki’s jaw is slack and open wide as moans shamelessly fall from his lips as his head is tilted over the armrest and hanging idly. It fuels your ego at seeing him unravel so quickly under your control, and a hand leaves your hair to shakily cover his mouth as the sounds increase in volume.
It’s as if you were sucking the soul out of this man– you’re not even sure it’s your best performance given the angle and your own pent up desires, but Ryuzaki squirms and sighs beneath you as if he’s viewing heaven’s gate. 
This is what he’s been missing his whole life. 
At this point his pubes are saturated in a mixture of saliva and precum, essentially matted to the flesh of his base and balls. It’s an erotic mess of moans and bodily fluids as Ryuzaki’s twitches get more and more impatient and his cock throbs within your mouth. Heavy balls pulse in anticipation as your hands move to massage them and your tongue ruts against his frenulum a few more times.
Babbles and incoherent phrases leave his lips in a volume louder than his normal speaking level as saliva dribbles from your lips, down your chin, and drips onto his thighs. 
There’s a mix between a sharp inhale and a choked moan before Ryuzaki’s hips jerk forward and he’s cumming. Hard. 
“Oh my– AH–”
One hand is still tangled in your hair, ensuring his length keeps pouring hot seed down your throat, while the other is between his teeth as he bites down to muffle his own sounds. It’s barely been 3 and a half minutes and L has already come completely undone, panting as if he’s just run a marathon. 
You swallow what you can– it’s obvious he hasn’t cum in the last day or two given the amount of ropes pouring from his cock– and a few drops escape your mouth and trickle down the sides of your lips. The viscosity is a bit thinner than honey and the taste is relatively neutral with a twinge of sweetness to it considering the amount of sugar that must be coursing through his body.
Ryuzaki seems lost in his own world before you cough slightly at the lack of airflow and he immediately removes his hand to allow you to slide off his length. 
“O-Oh sorry! I didn’t… haaaa… didn’t mean to cum so early… would’ve given you a better warning..”
You wipe the few drops from your chin and rock back onto your heels, swallowing the rest of the thick viscosity in your throat and shoot him a reassuring smile.
“No it’s alright… actually kinda fuels my ego a little.”
Ryuzaki nods once but keeps his gaze on the ceiling as he takes several deep breaths. His erection slowly softening, a mixture of cum and saliva dripping from his tip down to his balls, and sweat beads forming on his forehead. 
You rub a reassuring hand on his thigh as L comes down from his high, leaning down to plant a soft kiss to his chest right above his heart, before getting up to grab a glass of water. You take a few gulps before refilling it and padding back to let him rehydrate; he chugs nearly half the contents before looking up to you and tugging your hand.
It’s a silent plea that you answer, tilting at the hips to plant a slow and soft kiss against his lips; the remaining taste of his own seed tingling on his tongue as he molds his mouth against yours. 
“Thank you…” He mumbles quietly. 
You smile and unconsciously clench your thighs together, wondering if reciprocation was in the cards, before sliding back next to him and watching the way he tugs himself back into his boxers. 
“How are you feeling?”
L sits upright, still shimmying his jeans, “Well, I think it goes without saying but–”
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
“Hey! Are you home?”
….
You’re silent. The slight smile on Ryuzaki lips dies immediately as the metal front door to your apartment rattles against the hinges. 
You glance down at L with a worried expression which he returns with a questionable look. “Are you expecting someone..?” He barely whispers.
Before you can answer there’s another set of knocks at the door as whoever is on the other side is obviously getting impatient. Staring down at Ryuzaki for another moment, you slink off the couch and take a few quiet steps over to the kitchen; L stands up and follows suit with a shrug and obvious confusion. 
You pause beside him and usher him to the door which he responds with a head tilt. It’s a semi-silent whisper/telepathic argument for him to check the peephole. He may be half-naked and covered in hickies, but he's the guy, so you usher him forward to the shoe rack by the front door. 
Ryuzaki gets maybe another 4 steps away from the peephole before the metal rings out again with another series of knocks.
“Come on, I know you’re in there! Watari told me L already stopped by to drop a few things off–” the voice rings out. Matsuda’s voice. 
Immediately you both scramble to swap the positions as quickly as possible; sliding on the wooden floorboards in your socks as you rush back to the living room to throw on your hoodie and scoop up the clothing articles of Ryuzaki. 
Erection still deflating in his boxers, you bundle up his crew neck and shove it into his arms as you coerce him into the coat closet next to the entrance. Fluffing your hair and throwing the hood up to cover the sides of your neck, you rush over to the door and swing it open to reveal Matsuda’s hand raised in preparation to knock once more. 
“WOA– Ah!” Matsuda startles back slightly. “Geeez, give me a heart attack while you're at it! What took you so long to answer?”
You awkwardly step back and swing the door open wider to invite him inside, taking note of the small bag in his hand as you try to calm the pounding in your chest. 
“Ohh, just uh.. Took a shower!”
He watches you shut the door and raises an eyebrow at your very dry hair. 
“It was a rinse! Hahah.. Just took a run and rinsed off…”
Matsuda shrugs but doesn’t bother it any further before sliding off his shoes and noticing the obvious other pair of men’s shoes sitting at the entrance. This, he has to comment on. 
“Is there someone else here…? Ryuzaki–”
“Just a spare pair of his!” 
He pauses at the entrance to your kitchen, just briefly passing by the coat closet, completely unaware of the hidden presence of his boss in your apartment. It’s clear Matsuda is a bit confused by your behavior, but he doesn’t have the motivation to pry much further.
“Right, well I don’t want to take up too much of your time.” He shuffles to the kitchen counter and places his messenger bag on the surface before turning back to you with the small paper bag in his hands. “It’s nothing big, I just wanted to apologize.”
You peel your eyes away from their cautious glance at Ryuzaki’s hiding spot and blink once at Matsuda. “Huh? Apologize for what?”
He places the bag in your hands, and peering down you can briefly make out what seems like a small pastry box. “I know that it took a lot of courage to be open with the group about you and L… and I also know that you both probably don’t appreciate that your relationship becomes the but of a lot of jokes– so I wanted to apologize.”
Ah! He’s so sweet you could probably cry. 
Sure, a lot of the off-handed comments are annoying, but that’s all they are at the end of the day. Especially since the remarks are about a relationship that barely fits the definition of an ‘official’ one anyways. 
You smile at Matsuda nonetheless and thank him for the goodies regardless. “Was there anything else that you needed?”
He exhales slightly and shifts his attention back to the messenger bag he usually carries with him, taking a moment of silence to stare at the contents before deciding to turn and face you once more. It doesn’t take a trained detective to catch on to the nerves eating away under his skin.
“Well there is one more thing… but it’s not exactly my position to explain it entirely.”
You raise an eyebrow and reach forward to grab the manila folder in his hand, scanning the documents with a frown. Each page seems to be a list of contacts, addresses, and connections to a variety of police organizations scattered across the globe. 
Matsuda awkwardly rocks on his feet and organizes the rest of his belongings in an eager desire to leave.
“What…. Is all of this?”
You flip through a few more until a heavy feeling forms in your chest. Emergency contact papers. Though they aren’t for Matsuda– instead it’s a variety of the world’s next best detectives and agencies that can be contacted for assistance if a crisis were to happen. 
“It’s from the NPA. Just… a few traditional outlets for help if–” Matsuda looks at the corner of the kitchen and hunches over slightly in a forlorn expression. “If things don’t quite work out under L...”
“Huh?!”
You don’t mean to get mad at him, he’s just the messenger after all, but the tension in the room is palpable. 
“So what does this mean? They don’t trust Ryuzaki or us enough to let us make our own decisions?”
Matsuda winces and rubs a hand against the back of his neck. “I’m not sure to be honest, and you had the same reaction as Aizawa. He thinks the NPA is just trying to save face after the death of the FBI agents– if something goes wrong, they want to have jurisdiction again.”
“They were the ones that cut off task force funding in the first place. And besides, what do they even mean if something goes wron–”
You pause and look back down at the names and a heavy silence falls back into the room. Matsuda slings the bag back over his shoulder and inches forward, unsure if he should give you space or offer a reassuring pat on the back. 
“It’s unlikely to happen, ok? The only way the NPA can weasel back in is if L lets them.”
If it weren’t for the pair of shoes peeking in the corner of your vision, you would’ve completely forgotten that Ryuzaki was still in the coat closet listening to every word. Matsuda holds your gaze in a mutual understanding that ‘L letting them take control over the investigation’ was synonymous with ‘if L were to die’.
It’s an uncomfortable topic, especially considering your position, and you pity the short straw Matsuda drew to be the one to deliver this information. The list of contacts has a variety of names redacted and edited for everyone’s safety, but a location southwest of London catches your eye. The entirety of the name is blacked out with the only information being the town. There's nothing significant about even the lack of phone number, but your attention lingers on it for a moment regardless.
For a fleeting second you almost feel the same way you did the first night you joined the task force; a feeling of uncertainty on who L really is. Sure the man at the hotel introduced himself to you all as him, a mutual trust formed, but who’s to say that’s really ‘him’. Or if L is an idea, a group, or another person and the man in your closet is merely a vessel or placeholder for that. 
Matsuda shifts side to side in an awkward anxiousness and adjusts the straps of his bag. “Well that’s all I’ve got for now. Do you already know where you’re posted for tonight?”
You take a breath and place the folder on your counter before tightening the strings of your hood. “Mmm I’m on PR duty for Misa’s manager– drafting up documents for arrest charges for assumed drug possession. Not like I really know when we’ll be detaining her though…”
“Ah lucky, I’m supposed to be with Ryuzaki reviewing her most recent marketing campaigns for anything that could link her in a better timeline to Light.”
You stifle a laugh and he raises an eyebrow while sliding on his shoes. “Maybe you’ll wind up liking her content.”
He rolls his eyes at you and replies sarcastically. “Ha. Ha. Veeeery funny. Mogi and Aizawa are on call for the transportation of her arrest while I’m stuck in a room with L watching dumb advertisements.” He pauses for a moment. “Ah, that reminds me, I should probably give Ryuzaki a call and let him know I’ll be at our observation spot a bit early.”
You refrain from egging him on even more, knowing full well that the said ‘dreaded activities’ would be taking place with company currently hidden, and push his cellphone back into his chest. “Maybe wait a bit; he messaged me earlier about having to make a few international calls and won’t be available until early evening.”
Matsuda doesn’t question the information and instead heads out the door with a grateful smile. “Thanks for the heads up! Would’ve been awkward if I interrupted something haha.”
You offer a shrug and wave him a ‘goodbye’ before shutting the door and placing a soft knock against the coat closet. 
Ryuzaki slides it open a crack before peering at the front door and then looking up at you expectantly. “Is reviewing her materials that much of a dreaded task? I thought it would’ve been rather relaxing for him.”
His shirt is on backwards given the darkness of the closet but his boxers and jeans are back to their usual low position on his hips. Ryuzaki’s neck is still covered in bruises, but the fact that this night’s meeting will be split positions means you won’t have anyone giving you grievances.
“Mmm well consider this his payment for actually interrupting.”
Ryuzaki scoffs in a partial laugh and swings his crew neck around to face the correct position and pads over to skim the documents that Matsuda delivered. “I don’t take this as hostility, but their sudden interest is inconvenient. This isn’t just a list of emergency contacts in case of my absence, but could essentially serve as a hit list for Light.”
You watch him skim through them and shrug. “I doubt it’s information he doesn’t already know considering he probably has access to all the files his dad has. It’s also not like there’s names or photos listed.” 
Ryuzaki keeps his gaze on the papers a moment longer before his phone pings with a message from Watari for their agreed pick-up time. 
L wanders back over the shoe rack and awkwardly shoves his feet in his own sneakers but doesn’t make an effort to leave. You walk to the edge of the kitchen floor, his baseball hat and sunglass disguise in tow, and hover slightly behind, the list of addresses still fresh in your mind. “You wanna talk about England? I don’t know of any investigation groups near Winchester.”
The man blinks and stands back up, his back against the wall and his shoulder slightly angled away. “At a later time perhaps. Though I was surprised you caught it considering the many  notable agencies listed.”
It’s the answer you expect, a dodge with a small compliment thrown in there to appease your curiosity enough to stop prying. You purse your lips indifferently, already aware you weren’t going to get a straightforward answer. “It just stood out to me is all…. Not like I know what half of those contacts actually are.”
Ryuzaki hums to himself with a faraway look in his eyes and gnaws on the corner of his lips, as if making a mental to-do list and organizing them in order of priority. He waits an extra moment until satisfied and turns his full attention back to you. “I’m sorry to leave suddenly, I was hoping we’d have more time.”
A pink dusts your cheeks and you shrug as casually as you can, as if your panties weren’t plastered to your cunt in arousal from the shared moment only minutes ago. “It’s fine… you can just pay me back next time?”
“Huh? Oh, yes! Yes, I would like to return the sentiment if that’s alright.” He snaps the elastic of your sweatpants against your hips once. 
You laugh at his phrasing and nod in approval as he slightly beams in excitement. He moves to slip on the disguise and take the door handle but pauses to give you another glance; Ryuzaki is silent but peers at you through the corner of his eye like a dog.
Despite him not wanting to say it, the look is written all over his face that he’s clearly waiting for ‘ahem’ something. Shaking your head and sighing lightly, you step down to the genkan and lean in to plant a small kiss to his lips. 
The exhale he releases through his nose tickles your cheeks and when you finally pull back, he chases forward to plant just oneee more peck and spin back around to the door. “Alright, now I’ll be off!”
*****
The evening meeting is split up with varying tasks, members fulfilling a variety of different positions for the upcoming arrest. Matsuda is with Ryuzaki reviewing Misa’s content to ensure the timeline of her and Light match, Mogi and Aizawa are solidifying the transportation method given the threat of apprehending a Second Kira, and Mr. Yagami and Light are at the monthly NPA meeting to give updates on the investigation– of course to also ensure Light’s uninvolvement with Misa’s arrest. 
It’s hard to concentrate, though the task at hand doesn’t require much brain capacity anyways. Filling out legal forms, ensuring police warrants are in line, and filing an array of suspected evidence for when lawyers eventually come calling isn’t the most entertaining job, though it’s relatively straightforward. 
You almost feel guilty everytime your mind wanders back to how little you really know about the man who reciprocates your interest. For every lingering touch, breathless kiss, and moment alone with him, there seems to be an equal force shrouding him in more mystery. 
Part of you doesn’t care at this point, not bothering to get hung up on trivial matters when the connection between you both is so solidified. Who cares if his identity is a mystery that literally only… one[?] person knows the truth of? You enjoy spending time with him and he feels the same… so why should it matter?
You fill out the next line of signatures on paperwork and flip the page, gnawing at your lip and sighing. Of all the times to have what seems like the beginnings of an actual relationship, of course it happens during an investigation for a world-wanted serial killer and with your communicationally void boss. 
Whatever, you can settle down officially later…once you catch Kira….graduate…get a job, and a good income… the list is impossible. Maybe you’re doomed to rot away in your apartment alone for the rest of your days.
The evening is relatively dull, with occasional updates from the members before you finish the task and begin to wind down. To you it doesn’t matter who Ryuzaki is, just having him around, alive, is enough to satisfy. 
*****
Summer classes are a scam. 
Even if you get an additional set of credits that are ‘supposed to put a competitive edge on your resume’, the amount of brain power it requires is not worth it. Most of your friends are enjoying the warm weather on vacation, tanning at the beach, picnicking in parks, and getting some well needed rest after a grueling academic year; you are standing in the cold-ass lobby of the criminology building shivering in a sweatshirt. 
The AC is on waaay too strong for the relatively mild weather outside and you're torn between ditching your desire for a diet cola to get a hot coffee when the automatic doors swing open. Too focused on the string of vending machines, you barely register another person on a relatively desolate summer campus until a hand is waving in the corner of your eye. 
“Sorry! I was wondering if you could help me–”
You blink and turn to face the voice, immediately dropping your hand from its position at tapping the buttons of ‘A6’ for a compromise of an iced coffee container. Long blonde hair is pulled into partial ponytails while intense evening makeup adorns her features despite the time only being half-past 2pm. Her eyes seemingly flick upwards to a space above your head before her voice pauses in surprise with the same shocked expression you both wear. 
Not realizing the two of you indirectly know each other, neither of you make a move until Misa blinks in remembering her request for help in the first place. 
“Ah sorry miss, you just look familiar is all haha! I was wondering if you could help me out?”
Her eyes dip to the tattoo of bruises on your neck with an intense scowl, eyes nearly turning red, before she swallows it and continues. “I’m looking for the criminology building.”
You adjust the floppy collar of the hoodie and sheepishly point to the ground. “Oh, this is the criminology building.”
SHIT. 
Shit. Shit. Shit. This is exactly what you DIDN’T want to happen.
Misa blinks in embarrassment and turns to face the large floor to ceiling windows of the lobby that open to the courtyard of the eastern part of campus. There’s not too many people walking around, especially during summer classes, aside from a few tour groups guiding potential students around. A certain figure…s.. catch your attention though. 
A young man walking casually towards the building with a woman right beside him; the two pause for an extra moment to talk and Misa takes a sharp inhale and begins to sputter an excuse to leave. She barely gets two steps away from your position as the woman who was just speaking with Light waves him goodbye and a man sitting on a nearby bench waves him over instead. A man with terrible posture and tacky looking sunglasses on. 
Ok, was there some sort of meeting you were unaware about? 
“Light?” “Light?”
You say it at the same time and sheepishly smile at each other before Misa runs out of the criminology building and you scurry after her. 
This is bad. REALLY bad. If she’s the Second Kira and gets a glimpse at L’s face… the only thing she’ll need to kill him is a name. 
The drink falls to the retrieval area but you’re already out the door and running across the courtyard to bother mourning the wasted beverage. Misa arrives there a second before you, though you bypass her to step directly in front of Ryuzaki and shimmy off your sweatshirt to throw at him.
Both men, partially stunned at the encounter of both of their girlfriends, exchange a look before glancing at the company. You stand with your back to Light and Misa, focused on trying your best to cover his appearance as quickly as possible. 
“Ah, you left your hoodie at my apartment!! Better take it now or else I’m keeping it!!” 
L lets out a half chuckle but doesn’t protest your attempts at dressing him in your own clothing nonetheless; he lets his head be guided through the hood and tugs the oversized fabric to fit a bit more comfortably. His eyes lighten at your appearance as his gaze traces the bruises that are now on full display from the t-shirt neckline that leaves them exposed. 
“Thank you, I was beginning to wonder if you were holding it for ransom as a reason for me to come over.”
Misa, who was previously gushing over seeing her boyfriend, spins around at your conversation and relaxes slightly. L’s gaze is still locked on you, even when you side step to remain in front of him and away from the other woman’s stare.
“Perhaps it’s time for introductions?” Light offers through grit teeth, a hollow smile and empty eyes crinkle at the forced civility. 
Ryuzaki leans from over your shoulder, his breath tickling your ear, “A wonderful idea Light! I would love to meet your girlfriend.”
A happy pink flushes Misa’s cheeks at the ‘g-word’ and she steps forward with her hand outstretched. “I’m Misa! Light’s girlfriend.”
There’s an awkward tension between everyone else at that phrase, but no one feels like addressing it. L side steps past you, despite your intentions to keep him hidden, and meets her hand. “I’m Ryuzaki, and this is my girlfriend.”
Misa pauses with a confused expression, her eyes once again glancing upward before laughing slightly. She smiles at the reason for the hickies littering your skin not being because of Light while the aforementioned man scowls deeply at L. You take Misa’s hand next and offer your name and brief working relationship with Light and his father while the campus gets more and more crowded. 
A hand now casually holding your waist, Ryuzaki has an uncanny grin plastered on his lips while Light’s brows are furrowed. Before you can shove an elbow in L’s ribs at what his genius plan to get out of this situation is, he tugs you tightly behind himself and protects you instead. 
“You know I’m actually a fan of yours, Miss Amane.”
Light steps forward slightly but Misa cuts him off and beams at him. “Really?!”
“Mhmm, my girlfriend here follows your social media. She showed me your movies and the little cafe spots you recommend.”
Despite the response being for her, Light knows the entire meaning is directed for him– a not-so subtle way of letting him know how close an eye he’s been keeping. If Light wants to stalk your ex-boyfriends, why not dig up dirt on his ‘current ‘relationships’?
Misa expectedly turns to you. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
“Oh! I just didn’t want to make a scene…”
A scene that was very much happening right now. 
Despite there not being ample reason for a crowd, a small circle of students and visitors begin crowding around the four of you and whispering. 
“Isn’t that Misa Misa? What’s she doing here?!”
“Woa and with the most popular guy on campus…?”
“And there’s Ryuga… that guy barely shows up to classes at all so what’s he doing?”
“Kyahh~ that emo guy is totally my type!”
“You need better standards…”
“The two smartest guys on campus each have a baddie?! Maybe I should start studying…”
Misa doesn’t seem to mind the crowd, instead she flourishes within it and takes the time to offer selfies and promotional content for her big movie or tv show or whatever magazine she’s going to be appearing in. However, the more she entertains the crowd, the busier it gets.
As the group becomes more and more squished together as the onlookers crowd in closer, the grasp on your waist is replaced with a quick squeeze to your hand. Ryuzaki steps slightly to the side and is immediately lost in the sea of people fawning over Misa, with calls for autographs and photos drowning out your voice. 
You stumble through the crowd slightly, grabbing onto Light’s forearm for balance when you bump into him; there’s a mixture of excitement in his eyes but a frown plastered on his face when his gaze drags over your neck. 
“I should grab Misa and get out of here” he offers with an energetic smile. 
Despite the idea of having peace and quiet sounding more appealing than anything, the change in his tone leaves you nervous. Before you can offer a response, a shriek rings out through the crowd and several people back away when Misa screeches out.
“Hey! Someone just grabbed my ass?!” 
She looks over to Light with a pout, recognizing his far distance from her meant it wasn’t her boyfriend getting frisky, but instead a pervy onlooker. Several men raise their hands in defense, but when the circle around her clears slightly, there’s a very conveniently placed Ryuzaki standing too close for comfort.
Misa stomps the ground and throws her hands onto her hips while he sheepishly smiles and slowly backs up. “Uhh… I’ll get to the bottom of this! I won’t rest until the culprit has been found and dealt with!”
He slinks further backwards and you frown as the crowd squeezes him out to regain their proximity to the celebrity. 
Ok, it’s obvious he has a plan. … right? Not like you’re mad or anything…. 
…. But why the fuck did he need to touch her in the first place anyways??
Before you can let the anger fester, Light tugs you away from the crowd once he sees a very angry management team pushing through people to reign Misa back in. Ryuzaki waits by a bench idly, stepping forward when he sees you and reclaiming the spot beside you as Light scoffs at the business of the campus. 
There’s a bit of a scuffle as Misa’s manager essentially drags her away from the crowd of fans and berrates her about an intense schedule she’s threatening to ruin. Misa doesn’t pout much, she offers a small apology and waves frantically to you all in an eager attempt to offer a future ‘double date’ when she’s not busy. 
The crowd slowly filters out and when Ryuzaki makes an effort to grab your hand, you pinch the flesh on his knuckles and shoot him a sideways glance. A pout forming on his lips, he stays silent and takes your pinky finger between his index and thumb to soothe any tension; Light sighs as he watches her disappear, though there’s a faint smile on his lips.
“Well, sorry about the commotion, everyone. Especially you, Ryuzaki, I know how much you hate crowds.” Light’s voice is void of genuine sincerity. 
Ryuzaki shrugs. “Not at all. Her surprise appearance is certainly interesting, but I’m glad to have met her regardless.”
There’s an unspoken tension between you three, and before Light can open his mouth again, you cut between them. “I’m going back to class. Walk me there, L?”
His gaze lifts from Light and instantly relaxes when you finally take his full hand in your own; fingers intertwining and tugging him back towards the criminology building. You both give a slight wave off to Light, but before you can question Ryuzaki, a cute ringtone pours out from the front pocket of his jeans. 
L shoots you a small smirk and flips it open. “Heellloooo?”
You pause. And apparently down the pathway, so has Light; he stands motionless with his phone pressed to his ear. 
“What are you doing, Ryuzaki?”
“Oh wow! I guess in the middle of the chaos she must’ve dropped her phone! That’s rather unfortunate.”
The exaggerated voice from his lips makes you think back to the time he called you, when you were on a lunch ‘date’ with Light. It’s coy and way too energetic to be natural; you drop your hand from his to cover the laugh escaping your lips and Ryuzaki looks up with the same pout as when you refused his hand earlier. 
Light has stopped responding at this point, and L leans into the phone repeating ‘hello?’ and wondering if the service dropped until there’s a tap on his shoulder. 
Pissed off doesn’t begin to describe the emotion dripping off of Light, but Ryuzaki doesn’t seem phased in the slightest. Instead, he shuts the cellphone and slides it into the other man’s hand with a petty smirk. “Ah Light you’re still here! Maybe it would be best to give that back to Misa since you’re in close contact.”
“Right. I’ll do just that.” Each word is spit out and Light doesn’t bother waving goodbye to either one of you before turning west towards the main quad. 
Before you can watch him walk off or look around to see if anyone suspicious might be lingering, Ryuzaki reclaims your hand and tugs you into the lobby of the criminology building once more. He walks over to the large windows and flips the blinds down one by one while you pad over the vending machines to see if your iced coffee might still be sitting at the bottom. 
It’s not. 
Pushing the air out of your lungs, you reach around in your pockets to search for your coin purse until Ryuzaki grabs your arm to steady it. 
“I only did it to grab her phone.”
You don’t need a definition of it to know he’s referring to grabbing Misa’s cellphone. “I know.”
He looks like he wants to say more, but settles on silence instead; he looks at the wall clock and tugs the hood of the sweatshirt off. 
“Wait, what if Misa isn’t the Second Kira? And maybe there’s someone waiting nearby to get a glimpse of you–mpfh”
Soft lips cut you off as L rocks his head against yours and wraps his hands around the curve of your waist. The shut window blinds make the lobby dark as the LEDs overhead haven’t been turned on yet given the early time of day; the irises of his eyes are darker than usual.
You pull away when there’s the sound of commotion and people yelling echoing across the courtyard, but Ryuzaki takes your chin and kisses you again. Everytime you try to break it to speak, he molds his mouth back to yours and slips in his tongue to play with your molars and silence you. 
After the fourth attempt at prying him back, you raise an eyebrow and turn your attention to the windows; his hands are still firmly on your waist to keep you pressed into him. He doesn’t let you move, instead he pivots to shelter your face entirely from view of the windows with his back to them and your head in his chest. 
“Ryuzaki– what’s going on?”
“Do I still need an excuse to kiss you..? I can think of one quickly if you give me a moment.”
Before you can roll your eyes, he tugs you back to his lips and groans slightly when his cock begins to stiffen in his jeans and grind against your pelvis. Parting for air, he takes a hand from your hip to trace the hickies that litter your neck and frowns when one or two of them seem to be already half-faded. When he doesn’t answer, you pinch his bicep and peer up. 
L’s gaze remains on the open spaces of your neck for an extra moment before thinking. “Well… it’s nearly 3pm? It should be nearly finished.”
You pause and look up at the clock with an intense expression. Outside the windows there’s a few more muffled shouts and the sound of police sirens gets louder as a new crowd forms to witness the arrest of Misa Amane.

Heart Rates in MotoGP 🫀
There’s this post about the doctor in the movie Faster (2003) comparing Valentino Rossi's and Max Biaggi’s heart rates, and Vale’s maximum being only 125 bpm while Max’s was 170 bpm was a bit unbelievable to me so I’ve decided to do some research because those who know me know this is one of my favorite topics.
What I found when searching for this topic was a gold mine for people who are interested in hearts, so I thought I’d write a post about it because I think it could be interesting for everybody, especially for new fans (like me) who don’t already know about these heart-related things in MotoGP.
Important information: I don’t have a medical background, I’m just a cardiophile/someone who’s interested in hearts so this post isn’t about the medical side of this topic, it’s only to share the interesting stuff I found.
So, according to this article (which is basically the copy of this but I found the other one earlier), the riders’ highest heart rate is typically around 160-170 beats per minute. But what makes this really interesting is that I’ve discovered that there are a few riders that are an exception because of their extreme cardiac output like Maverick Viñales, whose highest heart rate barely exceeds 130 bpm, or like Jorge Martín, who’s the opposite extreme with his heart rate reaching 200 bpm during the highest points of qualifyings and races. Both of their resting heart rates are around 40 bpm, which is surprising because I expected Jorge's to be higher.
instagram
MotoGP began broadcasting the live heart rates of riders in 2019 with Maverick’s being shown first (as he writes it in the caption of the post above) and that was when his heart became a sensation because of it beating significantly slower than the hearts of other riders. The video above is him doing a hot lap at the 2019 Japanese GP weekend. That was when they discovered that his heart was different from the other riders’ hearts and in this video, they asked him about it because some people doubted if the monitor was accurate. (After seeing this, Vale's 125 bpm from the beginning of the post doesn't seem that unbelievable anymore.)
Tumblr media
As you can see above, in 2020, during the Austrian GP weekend, they compared Maverick and Jack Miller’s heart rates, to which Jack’s reaction was, “I don’t know what Vinales is, a snake or something, or his heart is not working!” (jokingly) “I just saw they did a comparison and I am sitting at 160 and Vinales on 120-something. I’m sure mine wasn’t even at the highest point when I was doing those laps.”
And then Jack talked about his heart rate a bit more:
“I’ve never been in the 200s, I think the most I had in a test – and this was 3 years ago – was 199. If I’m training on the bicycle it’s 175-180. I think the best I have had on the bicycle has been 188. I think the start of the race, the lights, would be the highest point for me. And if you're in a fight especially in the first couple of laps it’ll be through the roof. Then you can sort of stabilize it around 160.  I know with the motocross bike it stays around 172. That’s my normal average for a 25-minute training moto.  Like I say, it’s not like I'm blowing out of my arse or anything like that, it’s just that Vinales is a bit of a ‘snake’! His just doesn’t work in the same way as mine… He’s got a bigger stroke, less rpm!”
And something worth mentioning here is that Maverick posted about his pre-season medical check-up and someone in the comments asked about his VO2 Max result and he answered the question in a video posted in his Instagram story (you can see it below), which was really surprising to me because I don’t usually see people openly sharing information like that.
(For reference, the average for people his age is 31-41.9, good is 42-49.9 and >50 is excellent. So his results of 64-70 are incredible.)
And some other things I found while doing some more research for this post:
Jorge talking about having an overheating problem and a heart rate of 230 bpm during the 2023 Indian GP.
Álex Rins racing with an average of 190 bpm (remember, the maximum is 160-170 bpm usually) during the 2024 Japanese GP (and finishing last despite trying really hard to get a good result).
And here is a video of Marc’s start in the 2012 Moto2 Valencia GP where his heart rate goes above 200 bpm. In this interview, he said he usually doesn’t monitor his heart rate during a race, but he did during this one. I think it was a good idea because it shows us how his heart behaves during the start, which is one of the most stressful moments of the race.
-
I really enjoyed writing this post and getting to know the incredible hearts these riders have. I hope I could show something new and interesting to those who didn't know about this. Thank you for reading it! ❤

The longer version of the Nico Hülkenberg fitness test video. Tranlsation below: Speaker: „How well the factor fitness is accounted for with a driver is examined at Team Sauber in extensive tests before during and after the season.“
Dr. Kitschmann (Team doctor Sauber F1): „We don´t need marathon runners, we don´t need weightlifter, but we must have pilots who can hang on through a race without suffering a loss of concentration.“
Speaker: „Like with the car every detail must be right with the driver. At the physiotherapy check the optimal setup is found for the body and the athlete is scanned completely.“
Hülkenberg: „When you see how advanced Formula 1 is, how much money is poured in, of course everything  must work out, so the driver´s body is our asset and extremely important.“
Speaker: „Special importance is attached to the endurance factor. In the cockpit the physical work is extremely hard with heart rates reaching the upper limits.
Trainer: „Next level…“ Dr. Kitschmann: „We do see extreme [HR] values up to 170…180 bpm and have also measured those over extended periods of time like half an hour or so.“

A last Komi brainrot i offer. The biology group she is in has to choose a topic to talk about in class, so they decide to talk to the whole class all of Komi's health issues and horrible vitals and how horribly deformed they are from the original value.
"So yeah, while a normal standy heart rate is around 70 bpm, Komi's heartrate is around 170 bpm! thats because..."
Tumblr media
All the while they prod grope and pinch her lardy body.. Explaining what obesity of this level can do to someone who isn't a goddes like komi (she suffers from akl those obesity diseases as well her classmates just ignore it..)
Tumblr media
Grabbing her stuffed gut as she holds in a moan explaining the subcutaneous fat buildup there in her thighs and butt.
. Her heart rate spiking as they explain that a person as fat as komi probably wouldn't live to be 30..
Tumblr media
She tries mustering the courage to say something but the biology team just plops a stick of butter in her face as a reward for helping them before leaving..

Blues Thoughts
Hello everyone 👋🏻 it’s been a while! I was last active on here in January but haven’t been around. So, let’s get into a life update
The pregnancy was rough. I had HG as I’ve mentioned and lost about 3 stone. I was on IV drips three times a week up until about March and things settled.
But, finally, after 9 long months, baby girl arrived on the 10th May 🩷
Tumblr media
You think after such a rough pregnancy, and with her being my second child, the birth would’ve been easy. Wrong 🤣 I was in labour for about a week before and since contractions kept stopping and starting the ward would not admit me.
I eventually took myself to the hospital on the Friday due to high BP, where my waters went spontaneously. Contractions started to become regular six hours later and I laboured naturally, unaware that my pulse had reached 170 bpm, my temperature was rising and they couldn’t track baby’s heart rate.
Turns out I contracted sepsis and was rushed to theatre for an emergency section. I was given a spinal, which eradicated the pain, but you can still feel things happening.
After baby girl was born, and the lifted her above the curtain so my husband and I could see her, I then began to haemorrhage on the table, losing about a litre of blood. Also, puking whilst you’re abdomen is open is not a fun experience 🫠
After a few days of me and baby girl hooked up to IV antibiotics (poor baby had a cannula in her hand 😭) we were sent home, because this is the UK and hospitals boot you out immediately 🫡🇬🇧
A lot more has happened, there’s been a few trips to hospital since being sent home. Me and baby girl have slowly been recovering. My husband has been my rock. My little boy HATES his new sister and has been a handful 😅
I’m honestly traumatised. But time heals all wounds I guess, physical and mental. Thank you to people that checked in on me in my inbox, it was nice to know you were thinking of me whilst I was gone these last few months 🖤
So writing wise, I’ve honestly been a bit discouraged. With the whole AI thing on AO3 and art not being protected, it has put a dampener on things. And obviously I’m very sleep deprived at the moment so it’s at the bottom of my list of priorities.
I’m hoping now season 3 has started filming and we start getting snippets of behind the scenes and more Ewan content, it’ll spark my interest again and inspire me to write. I know how ODAM will end, I have always known. There’s still a couple of storylines I want to explore, and some are quite brutal so my mummy hormones won’t let me write them yet 😅 but I have the skeleton of most chapters, it’s just a matter of bulking them out.
Until then, I’ll be lurking in the background, reading more Aemond fics and trying to engage more with posts. I’m glad to be back

Utah Valley Marathon, 2nd go-around
Ok, here's the big post in which I list out all the relevant details from the marathon this year. I finished in about 3 hours 41 minutes (8:25/mi), which is a massive leap from last year's 4 hours 14 minutes (9:40/mi).
Differences in the paragraphs below.
Joints: This time I wore trainers (for practicing) instead of long-distance-racing shoes (lighter/faster shoes), so I had more support. I also ran faster. What killed my time last year was primarily my joints, so I wore trainers to delay knee-asplode. I ran faster because, well…I realized that this wasn't a 5K. I could afford to be tired after the first third of the race, because I would be constantly recovering. And, relating once again to joints, my speed didn't matter, just the number of impacts. I could run faster, getting farther in the same number of impacts, and end up feeling better.
Watch: I wore my Garmin watch. Last time, I don't think I did; in any case, I used my watch a lot this time. Checking my pace every few minutes, checking my heart rate and stride count/rate, looking at my total elapsed time for my "overall" pace. It helped so, so much. I tried to keep my stride count high, and was pleased to note that it was usually around 170 spm (should be 180, but I'll take 170). I upped my pace when I felt like I could, and re-adjusted my effort to keep my pace constant (how fast I felt varied wildly over the course of just a few minutes; how fast I actually was varied only by like 5 seconds/mile every few minutes). When I noticed my heart rate was especially high (i.e. at 170+ bpm), I hyperventilated to bring it back down and reduce anaerobic metabolism. So basically always, but the watch served a very good reminder of "if this feels hard it's because your heart is pounding, and also remember to breathe a LOT."
Fuel: At miles 7, 12.8, and 19.4 there are GU-brand fuel gels provided. Basically 100 calories of thick sugar water, flavored to help it go down. They're disgusting but they stay down easy during a run, unlike solid food. Last time, I brought one caffeinated Maurten gel (unflavored: just sugar), but this time I brought two -- and also another un-caffeinated gel of my own, which I downed on mile 5. Additionally, aid stations are at every other mile (more or less) with Powerade and water. Last time I would alternate between the two until the last 10 miles in which I took one of each. This time, I only took Powerade for the first several aid stations, taking water only once. Again, for the last 10-ish miles, I took one of each. I may have taken more than two in the last few miles.
Morale: I didn't expect to follow with my brothers. I knew from the outset they were far faster than me, so I didn't try sticking with them for the first mile (like I did with my older brother the first time). I felt really good this race, knowing what was in store and knowing how much pain to expect instead of getting surprised.
Blow-up: Last time my leg pain progressed until it felt shattering at the aid station at mile 19.4 -- at which point I walked for almost a minute, and then alternated running and walking. This time I took a pee break in the bathroom there, and then as I ran out my knee went asplode, forcing me to walk, same as last time. But this time I knew that it wasn't game over. Walking hurt almost as bad as running (this time, at least; I don't remember last time well enough to say), so I convinced my knee to stop encouraging walking. I only walked for 30 seconds or so, just enough to catch my breath and recover my knee a little, and started running again.
So, all in all, lots of factors. Still, incredibly happy with my time and I hope I'll catch up to my brothers next year (by, you know, actually following the training plan and not skipping half my runs).
This was the "why it was better" post. My reblog will be the "what certain miles felt like" which was in my mega-post on Strava last year. Not that you can see it, cause I haven't shared my Strava account here, but yaknow. The format will be the same.

And there's the name of a song on the setlist that I've never heard of before
Tumblr media
Vse kar si želiš at 170 BPM. That's by far their fastest song on the entire setlist. Anybody heard anything about it?
