Today in Renzou fashion: XOXO

[tonguetiedraven]

Can you write demon Ryu getting in a territory fight with another demon over Rin? (Funny and scary at the same time, like a cat fight lol) Set durring cram school, and Ryu being a type of demon you haven't written about before <3

I got @marble-wolf to help me with this one <3

Here's a snippet of the fic, and there's a link to the full thing at the end. Thanks for the ask!!!

-- -- -- -- --

Ryuuji had kept it a secret since he was little. As much of a secret as he could keep it, which had not been much of one in recent months. 

Konekomaru and Renzou knew, of course, because there was no hiding it from them. They'd grown up together as family, and he'd simply been too young to hide it for a while. 

He was certain Lewin suspected as well, mainly because his master was eccentric enough to think it and observant enough to notice the hints Ryuuji wasn’t quick enough to hide. 

He’d almost given it away to everyone in Kyoto the first time, and he knew he’d given it away with the reaper, but thankfully Rin’s flames had existed and kept Rin from realizing Ryuuji had frozen the reaper when it was trying to bite Rin, and Rin’s flames got the stupid demon to back up.

He often wondered if it was why Amaimon had gone for his throat that first time. 

Izumo figured it out when they were in the lab being surrounded by zombies, which meant at this point, Rin and Shiemi were probably the only ones that didn’t know. No one knew what Takara knew, and Yukio had probably figured it out in that closet. 

The rest of them finding out didn’t bother him, but Rin finding out worried him. For a lot of reasons. He didn’t want to be judged for what he was, and he didn’t want Rin getting weird around him. He wanted Rin to see him, and not that. 

Despite trying to hide that secret and be normal around Rin, Ryuuji struggled hiding the most around Rin. He’d struggled since the beginning, and he had deluded himself for a while that it was because Rin was a nephilim too and drew that part out of Ryuuji, but…

Truthfully, it was because everything about Rin drew Ryuuji in, and the demon part of himself was not content with Ryuuji’s decision to not do anything about his massive and distracting crush on Rin.

He was blaming the demon entirely for why they were here. Kinzou’s concerts were fun enough with ear plugs, but any kind of concert was always a bit of a risk for him. 

A siren couldn’t exactly sing without side-effects. 

Rin had come up to him with that toothy (fangy) grin and those big blue puppy dog eyes, and Ryuuji had gotten lost in them and come back to himself to find he’d agreed to going to a concert with Rin and the others.

Now he was standing shoulder to shoulder with Rin and Konekomaru, and thanking the Myōō that Kinzou was loud and trying not to look at Rin in his punk outfit. The white fitted jacket and the hoodie were very Rin, but the leather gloves and the ripped slacks with chains were another touch, and the blue studs in Rin’s ears were devilish and Ryuuji was entirely convinced they were there solely to break him.

Rin was bouncing in place and singing happily (but not very well.) His hand caught Ryuuji's sleeve and shook his friend with an excited noise.

He tugged and called, “sing with me!” 

He was high off the energy around them and Ryuuji seemed distracted. Rin would pull him out of it.  

Ryuuji’s eyes went wide and a small noise that was not a squawk left him. Thankfully it was entirely swallowed by the volume of the crowd.

“Sing?” He mouthed at Rin. Ryuuji couldn’t sing. Singing was a problem for him. 

Rin's eyes lit up at the surprise in Ryuuji's eyes. It was fun to draw out that expression.

“Sing! You don't need to sing good!” Rin comforted if that was the issue.  

Ryuuji’s problem was the opposite. He sang a bit too well.

Konekomaru bumped him with his elbow as Kinzou went back to the chorus of BRS. 

Ryuuji’s eye twitched as he tried to think what to do. He could fake it with most anyone else, but Rin with his stupid (attractive) demon hearing would know he wasn't singing because he could pick out voices despite the overwhelming volume of the music.

“Just like aria class,” Konekomaru whispered around a cough. 

Ryuuji glanced at him and did not glance at Rin and his big eyes and locked his gaze back on Kinzou who was bouncing around the stage with more energy than anyone should have when they were growling out their lyrics like that. 

Just like aria class. Ryuuji could keep the magic out. 

The first few notes didn’t make the world end, so Ryuuji let himself sing a little louder. He did like this song.

Rin's next bounce was a little too high as he gave an excited fist bump and sang with Ryuuji. His tail was wagging wildly and he really might ignite. (But if he did that, Kinzou might haul him up on stage because his flames were cool to the Shima.)  

A particularly high jump had Ryuuji stupidly looking over, and his useless heart gave a hard thump at the obvious excitement Rin had. He’d never met someone who just felt so strongly about every moment and let himself really feel his excitement without hesitating even though he had every reason to with the flames. Even his tail was out there for everyone to see. 

He sang a bit louder and a bit more earnestly, hardly noticing himself starting to lose control of his voice. 

He wanted to dance and sing like that with Rin. (And maybe a bit more.) 

Rin liked Ryuuji's voice. It was better than Rin's. He could actually carry a note.

Rin sang louder with Ryuuji and he could hear other voices too!  

Ryuuji let himself start to move a little with the music, feeling the pull of it and not watching his voice like he should. 

The music swelled louder around them as Kinzou’s song reached its climax, and the audience was dancing and jumping and moving together, and Ryuuji was singing the lyrics at full volume as the song ended.

Rin gave the loudest sort of cheer and he beamed at Ryuuji. He didn't look worried or grumpy or distracted anymore and Rin called that a win! 

Ryuuji's singing voice was great too!  

“Your voice is beautiful!” A voice was drawing Ryuuji’s attention momentarily from Rin, and at some point when he hadn’t been looking, he’d gotten himself surrounded by people. Mostly girls, though there was a boy too.

His eyes shot to Konekomaru in alarm who gave a tired sort of nod. 

“Please,” the second one asked, pushing in and reaching to grab his arm, stepping on Renzou’s foot to do it. “Please, can I have your number?”

“No! Give me your number!”

“Can I have a dance?”

“Can I record you singing?” 

Rin's face changed from his elated excitement to pure annoyance as he grabbed onto Ryuuji's arms (gently!) and pulled him back. 

“He's shy! Go away!” Rin hissed, obviously annoyed. “You can't just crowd people.” 

Especially not Ryuuji!  

Ryuuji’s eyes shot to Rin in brief confusion (and something excited about that defensive tone) and Konekomaru stepped between them with that distraction to quickly (and quietly) speaking a mantra to stop the bewitchment.

“We’re in a crowd,” the boy growled, “you can’t stop—”

The mantra took affect and the crowding teens backed up, looking confused as Rin pulled him further away. Izumo and Renzou had closed in on his other sides, keeping them back. 

Next time Ryuuji got invited to a concert, he was going to say no, distracting blue eyes or not. He was a siren, and singing had consequences. A lot of them.

Here's Renzou as Yamantaka From @29rynoah and @yukiokumura fic 'If you can't beat them'. This took awhile since I could not figure out his outfit. I have three more versions drawn but this is my favorite.

Also the shadows from my phone and arm just made the picture better in my opinion.

[revoleotion]

ao no exorcist DND AU except that I haven't played in ages and don't know the English terms or how the game works. Enjoy. Feel free to add. Feel free to run with this. I'm just happy to write about my chaotic boy.

.

Liu goes overboard with many things in life but Yukio has never seen him quite like this. It's a bit too early to assume he is excited about this but perhaps this might be exactly it. It all started when the exchange exorcist brought a huge bag of dice to their first meeting and dumped it onto the table.

"I will take the red ones. For luck," he announced with a grin. It was in that moment that Yukio realized how out of place it felt to see the exorcist without his uniform or clothing that indicated his field of work. There was something about someone he admired - and still admires, if he's honest with himself - in such a casual scenario.

He still thinks it's weird, with his dice stacked on top of each other in front of him and a character sheet in front of him. He tries not to look, for he is sure that a glance might turn into something very embarrassing.

They've had a few sessions by now and Yukio is slowly starting to understand the game. Liu's outfits range from casual to "clearly just left a work meeting" but it doesn't seem to change his motivation. With no fail, he'll start the sessions with a bright grin and an excited narrating voice. He's happy, and Yukio might be happy as well. He enjoys trying to figure out the characters on Liu's shirts, all of them seem to be puns that he can vaguely understand with his knowledge of Kanji but doesn't know the pronunciation of. He enjoys the game.

He realizes another thing. The worst and best thing about the whole affair is that he can feel his different experiences, different acquaintances, all melt into one entity. One life. And it works. Why does it work? Why does it feel right to sit next to Shima Renzou and exchange banter with his character, while trying not to stare at Liu's face or yell at his brother? It works and it feels like he's part of something without being out of place. Yukio isn't too young or too old for this. All he needs to do is pray to the dice gods - this is funny to them as they are all aware that the divine can very much be proven but dice gods might not be a part of it.

By the fourth meeting, Yukio has to officially admit that he is looking forward to this. Things are starting to get complicated by then.

It starts with a side character Liu introduces. A small demon that Yukio recognizes to be from a children's book. Liu explains that one of his ancestors was credited to have performed an exorcism on the demon back in the day - and even if there's no truth to this at all, it seems to be a nice way to honor the man's heritage.

Then Rin announces, "I want to befriend it."

Liu clearly intended for this to be a minor boss battle, at least Yukio assumes this judging by the look on his face. He's smiling, an unsettling expression on his handsome features.

"Why?" he asks. "That's a demon."

"Well, so am I."

Liu looks over to Yukio who offers a little shrug.

"Let him try," Suguro Ryuuji says before Yukio can open his mouth to say the same.

"It might be fun!" Shima chimes in, which might not be the way Yukio would phrase it but very in character.

Liu lifts one of his red dice, the D20, and rolls it between his slender fingers.

"Roll for Wisdom," he instructs Yukio's twin. "Animal handling."

For a second it looks like Rin is about to protest but he sighs and nods. Yukio assumes that Rin would rather roll for that than charisma - or maybe he just doesn't want to ruin his chances. Rim's dice are bright blue, not unlike his flames. Yukio leans closer to follow the movement. The dice jumps on the table, just once, before slowly coming to a stop.

A natural 20 faces up.

"Does that work?" Rin asks with the biggest grin Yukio has seen on anyone, ever.

Liu says a word that seems to have more than one meaning because even though Yukio knows it to be very harmless, it seems to be a curse word in this context.

"You befriend the demon," Liu says after a couple of seconds. "And now excuse me, I have to rewrite this entire game for unrelated reasons."

Sneak peek of an incoming one-shot~!

This was an idea I had while reading the webtoon ‘Mage and the Demon Queen’, and the entire time I was reading, I couldn’t help but think that Malori and Velverosa were giving me maaaajor Yukio/Shima vibes. Though, you don’t have to have read the webtoon to understand this one-shot! I just wanted to give a sneak peek on here, before I post the full oneshot on ao3 later (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Renzou saw him for the first time, coincidentally, on his first day as one of the tower's demon generals. He was a first floor general, in charge of the more introductory level, weaker demons that adventurers faced first on their challenge. So, he was used to seeing quite a few people passing through (and ultimately defeating, killing, and sending back to their church to be revived).

But this one? Oh dear God above, did this man stand out.

Renzou almost laughed, when he first saw this adventurer. The man was wearing an outfit layered mostly with shades of white and grey, and how foolish was that? To wear such an easily damaged and stained color when challenging the tower- the guy either had to be a poser, or ridiculously confident in his abilities.

The second thing he noticed was the man's eyes. An incredible shade of turquoise, hidden behind the frames of glasses, but clouded over with boredom and apathy. He was completely blank faced, and when he stepped into Renzou's floor, he just seemed to breathe both confidence and yet derision at the same time. He carried no weapon, and made his way straight for the stairs at the next level.

"Oi," Renzou had called out to him, grinning lazily from his perch on the floor, leaned up against the wall. "You seem like you made your way up here pretty easy. I hate to have to send such a cool guy back to the church after an entrance like that."

Sure, he had been a little overconfident, but could anyone really blame him? It was his first day defending the tenth floor, and he hadn't lost a battle yet. But the man only glanced over at him, pausing for only a brief moment. "...ah. You're not Kinzou."

"No, I'm not," Renzou sighed, his smile dropping. Damn, it was like he couldn't go a minute without someone bringing up his brothers! "He left on some tour with his band mates, or whatever. This is my position now."

"Is that so?" The man asked. There was something like curiosity in his voice, barely there, but then he was turning back towards the stairs. "Goodbye, then."

"Hey, wait!" He scrambled to his feet, indignation rising up as he crossed the room to stand before the adventurer. "I'm not letting you past, dude! This is my first day, I can't end this off in a lame way like that!"

The man opposite him only blinked, then looked away. "I suppose you're looking for a fight, then."

"Hell yeah, I am!" Renzou declared. He couldn't embarrass himself in front of his new colleagues by letting someone just waltz past him!

"Alright then."

The man reached a hand out, and there was a flash of blue light that solidified into something long, and bent. The light flashed away, and suddenly a bow was held in the adventurer's hand. Another beat, and then he had an arrow in the other hand, and as he drew the arrow back, a bright blue flare popped up again at the arrow's tip. 

Renzou only got one last glimpse of blue flickering across the features of the man's face before the arrow loosened, and for a brief second, the only thought that occurred to him was that now, looking at him up close, this had to be the prettiest man Renzou had ever seen in his life.

And then everything promptly turned black.

To be continued on ao3~!

He also loves your southern accent

He thinks it’s adorable 

Asks you if Lewin always smelled bad

And maybe even about his background since he’s so secretive

Mephisto:

Maybe a little bit off a turn off at first

Only because it instantly reminded him of Lewin

Maybe your southern charm kicked in?

He tells you about the times he’s visited Texas

He also calls you his ‘Little Squirrel”

Spongebob reference

He treats you to Texan cuisine whenever your feeling homesick

Or he can do one better, and poof you both right there!

“Hey, is it true your all fat?”

“How come you aren’t fat, Babe?”

“Do you all live on ranches?”

“It must be nice having fresh eggs and milk every morning!”

“Do you like, ride horses instead of driving cars and taking the train?”

“Is it true that you all have your own cattle to take care of?”

“Can you wear a sexy cow-girl outfit for me?”
