“It’s time to wake up, my love.”

You feel lips against your head and grumble, tucking yourself firmly against the warmth pressed against your cheek. There’s a deep chuckle that rattled your bones and for a moment, you are under the wrong assumption that you’d be able to go back to sleep.

Instead, you’re lifted clean up, and your eyes snap open, large and silver as you scramble to hold onto the giant so rudely mocking you with his dumbass handsome face.

“Good morning, Y/n.”

You stare at him, unimpressed, and for a moment you lament not being able to shift into your SeaBorn form at will. You’d found slapping Seonghwa with your tail was surpiringly effective when it came to him teasing you.

You could only do it when wet, though.

For now.

Speaking of wet, you blush feeling a distinct wetness run down between your legs, reminding you of last night's messy love making. You huff, crossing your arms as Seonghwa held you up off the ground.

“How wrong are you going to hold me up?”

Seonghwa looked at you for a moment in confusion before he chuckled.

“Long.”

You arch a brow.

“Yes, you’re wrong.”

He shook his head, gently, touching your lips.

“You’re still getting used to your new language. Here, follow me.”

Seonghwa repeated the sentence and you flush, realizing your clicks had, in fact, been off. You’d come a long way since you and him mated a week ago, but you still found yourself stuttering over your clicks or holding down a note too long occasionally as you spoke to him.

As flustered as it made you, Seonghwa found your pattern of speech rather cute, calmly helping you every time you stumbled.

He’d actually been pleasantly surprised when he found out you wanted to talk to him only in your new language, and for the first three days after you’d mated, you couldn’t understand a damn word he was saying.

Seonghwa had been surprised by how adamant you had been to understand, fumbling through your tones and hums until he’d perked midday through the third day, hearing you call to him and ask him for a kiss because you were frustrated.

The look on your face when you’d gotten the desired kiss all but made him fall in love all over with you again.

“I dod it!”

“‘Did’ it, baby.”

“I did it!”

Back to the present, Seonghwa walked you to the beach, the salty air blowing his bangs as he looked out at the ocean. You look up at him and then follow his gaze.

“...Wanna go tell Hongjoong the good news?”

You don’t miss the way he perked, his eyes lightening, excited as he nodded. You kiss him, cupping his jaw lightly before he walked you to the water.

“Remember, don’t panic. I have you, and I won’t let you drown. Ever.” He assured you. You smile and kiss him gently.

You hadn’t gotten the hang of holding your breath quite yet. Seonghwa had assured you the more you did it, the longer you’d be able to do it, and you’d be able to talk freely as well.

For now, all of your focus usually went into not panicking while underwater.

Seonghwa waited until you were ready and gently waded into the water, holding you bridal style so your legs would shift, the dark grey speckles of your legs stretching up to your torso, a thick, rather smooth tail forming. Seonghwa ran his fingers up the speckles, smiling to himself despite the shiver that ran through your body at the intimate touch.

“Sorry, I got distracted. Let’s begin. If you do well, we’ll go down and visit Hongjoong.”

You smile and nod, floating vertically with your head above the water as Seonghwa let you go. You drifted a bit from him before gently keeping yourself in place, your hips working gently as you watched his tail slap the surface in his usual fashion.

You feel his hand lace into yours and dive in, smiling as he pulled you lower.

The water is pleasantly cool, but you find yourself marvelling at Seonghwa’s tail.

While yours was a simple grey, dotted with different colored splotches, and much rounder and thicker than his, Seonghwa’s tail had definitely gained some color since you both had mated.

Before his tail was a simple, yet elegant ombre of platinum and gold, now it held many intricate designs and colors along the expanse.

Thick, brown stripes started along the midway point of his tail, with beautiful orange and yellow dots speckling the space along the stripes, all the way down to his tail, which was a contrasting black with a single, distinct electric blue stripe going along the tips of his tail fin.

You found yourself mesmerized by the upper half of his tail, which was the same electric blue as the tips of his tail, a series of mesmerizing (and sometimes glowing) platinum rings drawing your gaze directly to him.

He smiled at you and swam backwards, encouraging you to follow after him, and you clumsily do so before you get into the groove again.

The two of you swim in tandem, twirling around one another, swimming through reefs and enjoying each other. Seonghwa didn’t rush you, and instead waited until you took your breaths before continuing. Each time, he’d keep you for longer and longer, encouraging you with clicks and words of affirmations.

After the fith dive, you hear a loud, distinct bellow that drew your attention.

“My, look at this.”

You look down and find Hongjoong casually circling you, his expression interested as he eyed your tail. You smile and wave at him.

“Helho!”

He blinked before chuckling and swimming closer, greeting Seonghwa with a gentle nudge.

“Hello, Y/n. You’re learning the language a lot quicker than any human I’ve ever met, besides myself. How are you handling swimming?”

You purse your lips, frowning for a moment.

“I still can’t stay underwater indefinitely.”

He chuckled and crossed his arms.

“You wouldn’t be able to, anyway. It’s the Landling in you. We are Reborns. Humans turned Seaborn. We have to come up for air eventually. It's just a matter of perfecting closing down one breathing system and using the other.”

You blink slightly and tilt your head at him.

“‘We’ have to? Hongjoong? Were you also-”

“A story for another day, but yes. I was.” There’s something…dark in his eyes the moment you mention him previously being a human, and you immediately decide it’s none of your business to pry.

Hongjoong seemed to appreciate you not doing so, and in an instant, you watch his eyes lighten back up as he looked at Seonghwa.

“You’re doing a wonderful job, Angelfish.”

Seonghwa’s scales tinted pink for a moment before he coughed and looked away bashfully. Both you and Hongjoong noticed immediately, matching grins on your faces.

“Cute~” You both chirrup.

“Oh oceans no, please don’t start ganging up on me” Seonghwa immediately half heartedly complained. You laugh, raising yourself to the surface for a fresh breath of air with both of the men trailing behind you.

When your head surfaces, you find its night out, the stars twinkling in the sky as a crescent moon illuminated the surface of the water.

The three of you don’t say a word, simply bobbing in the water as you enjoy each other’s company. Seonghwa kissed the top of your head, a calm smile on his face as he hugged you close to his body.

“I think it’s about time she meets the others, don’t you?” Hongjoong inquired sometime a while later. You hadn’t even realized you’d been nodding off, your head resting on Seonghwa’s chest as he held you from behind to keep you from drifting.

Seonghwa let out a nervous laugh that made your head perk up.

“I’ll call them, Wooyoung probably will need to be warmed up first.”

You frown and turn your head to look at his expression. His eyes were tinged white around the edges, something you’d never seen before.

Was he…afraid?

“Who is Wooyoung?” You quietly speak up, reminding both of the men that you were not only right there, but able to understand them through the bouncy notes and hums of their conversation.

Seonghwa looked at you and gently rubbed your hips.

“He’s our best friend. One of them.”

You purse your lips.

“So why do you look afraid?”

Hongjoong chuckled quietly.

“Because he’s worried Wooyoung might not exactly take it kindly knowing you stabbed Seonghwa and nearly killed him.” he answered honestly.

You feel the weight of the world slam into you. Your lips part and you find yourself unable to speak. It hadn’t came up again since you’d dragged Seonghwa to the ocean to save his life. You glance at him again, and Seonghwa doesn’t respond, staring at the dark inky waves as he held your hips, the cogs in his head turning quickly.

“What…what exactly does ‘not take kindly’ mean?” You ask slowly, putting your hand over Seonghwa’s. Hongjoong clicked his tongue, floating past both of you, looking at the sky.

“Do you want to tell her?” He looked at Seonghwa but the SeaBorn simply shuddered and kissed your head.

“It’ll be fine. I’ll talk to him tonight using the resonance stone.” He muttered. You could smell his scent, tinged with anxiety and fear, and press yourself back into his chest more to comfort him as much as you could. Even though you had no idea what was going on.

Hongjoong hummed and gently flicked his tail hard enough to send both of you drifting to the left. Seonghwa sent him a curious look before Hongjoong waved his hand dismissively.

“Go to sleep. I’ll check back on you both tomorrow.” He encouraged before he dove down, disappearing into the dark waters. Seonghwa took your hand and guided you to the shore, carrying you once you got there.

You cup his chin and kiss his cheek several times until you make him turn his gaze down to you. When he does, you steal a kiss from his lips.

“I really am sorry I hurt you.” You whisper. He nodded.

“I’ve long since stopped being angry and hurt about it. You were scared and defending yourself.”

You nod and then gently press your forehead together with his.

“I’ll explain myself to this friend of yours. Even if they yell at me, I deserve it. So don’t look so sad. We were having such a wonderful day, tomorrow will be the same.” You encourage and Seonghwa sighed, closing his eyes for a moment.

You had no idea the beast of a man that Wooyoung was, but Seonghwa would undoubtedly handle the man’s ire first that way you could meet everyone worry-free.

It’ll be fine.

When he opened his eyes again, they were back to their normal emerald, and he gently walked you back to camp, settling you in your bed. Since you couldn’t hold your breath as long as Hongjoong could, you still preferred to sleep on land and Seonghwa didn’t mind accommodating you.

You find yourself drifting once more against his neck and he gently sung, soft, airy notes swirling through your mind. Seonghwa rubbed the space between your shoulders, kneading out any tension his fingers found there.

“Just rest. Tomorrow I’ll make a big breakfast for us.” He promised. You smile and let the embrace of sleep pull you under.

For the briefest of moments, you feel as if you’re being watched by the sky itself, but you pay it no mind and drift off.

.·:*¨¨* ≈☆≈ *¨¨*:·.

Something warm began to rouse you from your sleep the next morning. There are undeniable puffs of air blowing directly onto your face, and while tinged with the scent of amber, you couldn’t help the way the hair at the back of your neck stood on end.

You should wake up.

“Rrrrr.”

The moment you hear a growl, your eyes fly open, and in an instant, you’re greeted with a mass of hair, a GIANT canine standing over you with blazing, molten eyes that looked like fire peering out at you past their undeniably bear-esque face.

You stare up at them in horror, your voice caught in your throat. The canine doesn’t move from their spot above you, though you watch where you assume the ears are under all of that fur twitch and rotate, listening. They raised their head, looking North East before looking back at you, letting out a bark that rattled your bones.

You scream and scramble up to your feet, grabbing your knife in a hurry, but the dog made a snap at your heels, and you decide running is much more viable for you in this moment.

“SEOGNGHWA” You scream, rushing into the trees with the giant dog on your heels. Every time you moved to make a turn and shake them off, they threw their massive body in that direction, howling and barking and forcing you to pivot in the opposite direction.

Had you had been a bit of a calmer mind, you’d realized this demon dog was much faster than you, and seemed to be corralling you in whichever direction they wanted you to go in.

You, however, are not of a calm mind, and keep running for your life, screaming Seonghwa’s name, panic flooding into your system when you realize he hadn’t came for you yet.

Above you, the sky is blotted out for a brief moment as something humongous flew overhead, obscuring the sun for a few seconds before it was gone, also heading in the direction you were running in. There’s the sound of a primal roar that vibrates the air.

You pay none of that any mind, nearly tripping over your own feet as you catch a root on your ankle. The dog grabbed your dress in their jaws and spun their body, nearly hurling you in the direction you were running in. Surprisingly, the maneuver doesn’t tear your dress, and you keep sprinting after the close call, finally breaking the treeline.

Seriously, where the fuck is Seonghwa?!

“SEONG-”You stop yourself, eyes wide as you finally see your lover.

Your stomach drops in an instant.

He’s being held above the water of the ocean by his throat, a different man staring at him with an unimpressed look in his eyes. They were glowing a shifting deep purple and blue.

In an instant, all of your fear melted away, your claws elongating and your eyes bleeding red. Seonghwa looked in your direction, and threw his hands up.

“Y/n, wait, no!”

You don’t heed his words, rushing over, tossing the sheath to your knife away, your feet moving faster than they did even with the dog on your heels.

You don’t ask questions, driving and twisting the knife hard into the man’s back, throwing your body between them as much as you could and biting down on his forearm, tearing the skin and crunching down on bone.

Seonghwa paled and the man hardly flinched, his gaze, once fixed on Seonghwa’s face, now snapped down to you.

You don’t back down, your nose scrunched as you lock your jaw, biting harder. His blood runs down between your lips, into your mouth. You ignore all of it, glaring hateful daggers at the unmoving and infuriatingly smug looking man.

“So. You’re the mate, hm?”

“Wooyoung, listen to me, calm down.”

You don’t hear anything but the blood rushing through your own ears. Wooyoung smiled at you, but you can see a wild look in his eyes as he cocked his head ever so slightly to the left.

“Is this how you did it? Did you stab him the same way here? Or was it a little higher? How about to the left? Mm? Hit any organs? How about we try again? I don’t quite feel like I’m getting the full experience, little seal woman. Though, the bite is certainly new.”

You hear a bark from somewhere behind you and Seonghwa reached to touch your head and try and push you off.

“Y/n, baby, my angel please I’m begging you, let go. You’re making it worse.” He genuinely looked terrified, his eyes pale platinum as he glanced at you and Wooyoung.

“No, no, Seonghwa. Let her do what she wants. I’m finding out every little thing I need to know here.”

You hesitate and Wooyoung’s arm flexes in your mouth, in a moment, he lets Seonghwa go, grabbing your jaw and leaning into your face.

“I don’t take too kindly to having harm fall upon my loved ones. So, what should I do, seal woman? I’m facing a dilemma.” He sighed dramatically, ignoring Seonghwa’s rapidly protesting and trying to separate you both.

Suddenly, he perked, looking at the tall SeaBorn for a moment.

“My, that was a dangerous thought, Park Seonghwa. Were you thinking of biting me too? Putting your fist through my chest? Are you sure that’s what you want to do here?”

Seonghwa froze and you frown. He hadn’t said anything threatening. Hadn’t even moved. But the look on his face told you everything you needed to know.

Who is this guy?

Instantly, purple and blue eyes are back on you, as deep as the night sky, speckled with stars.

What is this guy?

“Jung Wooyoung. Eldritch god. Any other questions? I’d be careful, if I were you. I’m not sure how much of my blood you’ve consumed~ Who knows what could happen to you consuming the blood of a god like this.” He teased.

You let go in an instant, and everything hit you in an instant, horror crossing your face.

This was the friend, the one Hongjoong mentioned. You look at Seonghwa and he looked distraught, reaching for you. Wooyoung narrowed his gaze, and a barrier instantly separated him from the two of you.

“Haven’t I let you do whatever you want for too long, dear Hyung?” He inquired, though the honorific sounded more like teasing venom with his tone of voice. Seonghwa locked his jaw, red bleeding into his pale eyes as anger began to swell in him.

“Wooyoung, that’s enough.”

“Is it? You nearly die, don’t call me even once to save you, and now you think the person responsible can suffer no consequences? When you fell, did you crack your head, perhaps? I gave each and every one of you a resonance stone and instead of it being anywhere near you for a case of emergency, where is it? Hm?” He turned his gaze to you, and you shrink back from the overwhelming pressure coming from him as he looked at the peridot earring dangling from your ear.

“I was hoping you’d help protect her from harm in case I wasn’t enough.”

“Protect her? She almost killed you.”

“The spider almost killed me. The toxins would have killed me before I bled out.”

Wooyoung looks infuriated, turning his head in an instant.

“And WHO could have avoided all of that if he’d just called me? Are you out of your mind, Park Seonghwa? Do I need to remind you of how important you are to m-”

You can see he’s about to lay into him, and before you can think, you reach out, grabbing his face and forcing his head back to look at you.

“I’m sorry. Whatever it is, I’ll take responsibility, just…please, enough of this. My mate is upset and I hate this. You think I don’t already feel horrible for what I did? I did then and I do now, every time I see him, I see the scars he got from that day and it won’t go away, it never will. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love him. So whatever it is that you’re going to do, whatever punishment you feel I need or deserve for it, just do it already so I can go back into his arms. This has been a very long and fucking chaotic morning.” You speak a mile a minute and Wooyoung stared at you with a half lidded look once more.

“So, you’ll die? Because that’s what I deem appropriate for hurting one of my seven.” He answered flatly, all emotion gone from his voice. You hear a bark again, and a different noise that sounds like a growl, but you don't tear your eyes away from Wooyoung. Seonghwa pounded on the barrier, frantic and enraged.

“WOOYOUNG?!”

You feel his killing intent, but don’t look away from him.

“If that’s what you think I deserve. Just make sure he’s not hurt.”

Seonghwa’s voice nearly breaks from the sheer rage in his voice as he slammed on the barrier, and for a moment, you think you hear a crack. Wooyoung looked into your eyes for a long moment before looking down at your stomach, cold fingertips pressing against your abdomen. A thoughtful hum left his lips. Seonghwa’s enraged voice grew louder.

Wooyoung looked up, meeting your unwavering gaze. You were terrified, but you didn’t back down. A long pause stretched between the two of you.

Then, he chuckled.

“Welcome to The Fold, Seal.”

He snapped his fingers, and in an instant, you feel the world rush by. Colors and scents whirl past you until-

-you jolt upright, heart hammering. You’re back in your hut.

…what were you doing?

Seonghwa startled from beside you, and the moment you lay eyes on him, you burst into tears, kissing and embracing him tightly.

“Y/n? Why are you crying, my love?” He inquired. You open your mouth to ask him if he was alright after seeing…who, again?

Why are you crying?

Seonghwa looked at you, checking your head, your face, and your neck for any injuries. You relax the moment you feel his touch, putting your hand over his.

“I guess I had a bad dream. I’m okay as long as you are.” You kiss his nose and smile. He sniffed gently, making sure you weren’t hurt before he kissed you deeply, hovering over you.

You run your fingers down his abdomen, smiling at the way he rumbled and shuddered into the kiss. Seonghwa’s scales turned pink around the edges of his eyes and he smiled.

“Oh? Is this how you want to start your morning?” He purred, pressing his hips down and grinding between your legs. You smile and thread your fingers through his hair, intending on pulling him into a kiss when a bone-shaking bark drew a loud scream out of you.

Instantly both of you jolt up and Seonghwa looked perplexed for a moment, standing and sticking his head out of the hut.

It took a brief second before a black and red blur tackled him back into it. You scream again, reaching for your knife and then frowning when you note it definitely wasn’t where you’d left it last.

When the hell did it get so far from you?

“Yunho!”

You turn your head to the sound of your mate's voice, and in an instant, you relax when you hear Seonghwa laughing.

Your gaze falls upon this massive mass of black and crimson fur. They appeared to be a canine, and you got the confirmation when they licked Seonghwa’s face, nudging his hand until he began roughly rustling and ruffling their fur.

“Y…Yunho?” You parrot, slowly coming closer, the knife forgotten. Yunho turned his head towards you and keened.

“This is one of my best friends. What are you doing here?” Seonghwa inquired. Yunho wagged his tail, sitting straight. You were amazed at his massive form, and you nearly forgot to wave in greeting to the canine.

“Wooyoung said we had to meet your partner.” Yunho spoke despite his form. Seonghwa paused, and you could smell the twinge of anxiety in his scent.

“Oh, please. Just come outside, we made this feast for you and it's going to be eaten completely the longer we wait.”

You hear a voice seemingly coming from the sky and Yunho made a gruff keen before turning himself around and lowering himself, seemingly waiting for you both to get on his back.

“Yunho, I’m too big to be riding-”

You jolt as Yunho let out a dramatic yowl, slamming his weight playfully against Seonghwa and nearly knocking him over. Seonghwa caught himself and sent him a scandalous look.

“Fine!” He huffed and turned to you, smiling sweetly and picking you up. He kissed your nose and raised you high, setting you carefully on Yunho’s shoulders. He rumbled and you smile, gently scratching his ears. He radiated warmth, but he wasn’t uncomfortably hot to the touch. Seonghwa mounted him next, wrapping his arms around your waist. Yunho rumbled and stood up to his full height.

If you weren’t tightly clenching your thighs to keep yourself in place, you're sure you’d fall right off. Falling from this height would hurt like a bitch.

Was Yunho as tall as Seonghwa on all fours like this? Was he taller?

"Hold on, I'm going to go fast." He warned before he walked outside. Seonghwa tightened his grip on you, kissing your head before Yunho broadened his stance and took off like a shot.

You let out a scream before you cover your mouth and burst into joyful laughter as Seonghwa held you. Yunho wove through the trees as if he’d done it a thousand times before.

When he stepped foot on the beach, he slowed down to a trot, walking over to a group of men talking amongst themselves.

“I brought them.” Yunho keened, closing his eyes and wagging his tail as the tallest of the group, a man who towered over the others, scratched below his chin.

“Good job. I hope you didn’t startle our new friend too bad.” the man with the golden hair with the deep orange tips spoke. Yunho nudged his hands.

“I didn’t mean to, if I did.”

You look at the two of them and then take the time to survey your surroundings.

Hongjoong is here, his arms crossed as he looked down at a man who was sitting on….air? His legs crossed and a cup of tea to his lips. A man with long hair and a ponytail stood with them, seemingly scolding the man sitting on nothing with his quiet gaze.

There was a fire pit on the beach, and beside that was another man clad in tight, form fitting black clothing. He had part of his pendant in his mouth, and he seemed to be focused on getting the food on the fire cooked to the perfect degree. The man beside him watched on quietly, though he cast you a few cautious glances, the scorpion tail swaying behind him twitching every now and again.

Seonghwa got off first, gently letting you down and smiling before he looked over at the man floating in air. He took a breath, seemingly steadying himself.

“Just wait here, I’ll go talk to-”

“There’s no need.”

You’d blinked, and in an instant. The man with the teacup was floating in front of you, his blue and purple eyes twinkling like the night sky itself. You startle, Seonghwa’s hand instinctively goes in front of you.

“Wooyoung, I want to-”

“I said there’s no need. I’ve learned everything I needed to know already. Isn’t that right, Seal? Or, rather, Y/n?” He inquired, offering his cup to you. You blink at him and then gently take the cup, sniffing.

It smells sweet.

Seonghwa looked stunned, watching the two of you and the look of joy bloom on your face as you sip the tea. Wooyoung smiled casually and leaned back, sending Seonghwa a mysterious smile.

Seonghwa pursed his lips.

“Did…did you do something? You’re taking this a lot…calmer than I expected.” He admitted. Wooyoung shrugged a shoulder.

“Have I done anything? Is there something wrong with me greeting one of my seven’s partners with open arms and a cup of healthy, immune system boosting tea?” He inquired, looking in your direction as you drank another sip, peeking over the rim of the cup at the two of them.

Something about him seemed familiar, but you couldn’t put your finger on it. Seonghwa touched his abdomen subconsciously but then he relaxed, putting an arm around you.

“Y/n, these are my seven. They’re…the most important people in my life. I didn’t know everyone would come to greet you.” He shied, rubbing his neck as he looked at the others. Hongjoong shrugged, wearing attire you weren’t familiar with, though he looked comfy as he approached you. It dawned on you that you hadn’t seen him on land until today.

The man who was beside him followed and stopped in front of you, a row of freckles stretched across his cheeks and nose, and a nearly heart-shaped, splotchy birthmark at the corner of his left eye. You stare at him for a moment, taking in the unique look of his eyes. They were an interesting mixture of blues and pastel yellow and they glittered in the morning sun as he smiled sweetly at you.

“My name is Yeosang. I’ve heard you’ve had quite a rough time. If there’s anything I can help you with, please let me know.” He greeted, glancing at your stomach for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment before looking back at your face.

The man with the gold and orange hair towered above you, smiling and extending his hand.

“Name’s Mingi. The weather is quite nice out here today.”

You took his hand, marveling at how huge every part of him was. Two thick horns sprouted from his forehead and the moment you nodded and greeted him back, you noticed his massive tail swaying to and fro behind him.

Speaking of massive, the dog you’d come to know as Yunho shifted before you all, standing taller than Seonghwa, as well.

The corners of his crimson eyes had smudges as if left from the cinders of a once-burned fire and he smiled from ear to ear as he offered his hand to you, as well.

“Hi, Yunho. Thank you for carrying us here.” You smile and hand Wooyoung back the now-empty teacup. Yunho’s tail wagged so fast, it thumped into Yeosang’s hips.

“Who are they?” You inquire, pointing to the men by the fire pit. Seonghwa took your hand and gently brought you over to the two.

The man with the scorpion tail tensed for a moment before relaxing the moment Mingi sat to his left and Yunho to his right. His ears, rounded, yet cat-like, twitched and swiveled.

“Good morning.” He quietly greeted. You nod and sit across from him.

“Good morning..uh…sorry, what is your name? My name is Y/n.”

“....San.”

He didn’t meet your eyes, but you found Mingi subtly opening his posture so the man could press closer. The small, yet familiar action made you smile.

‘He must be nervous because of something.’ You think, not realizing you’re doing the same, leaning into Seonghwa’s chest as your eyes fall upon the last man.

The one with the black clothes and hazel eyes. He had a laser focus on the food in the fire, his pendant firmly in his mouth as he turned the fish and gently stirred the pot that had what looked like a stew inside of it.

Where on earth did he get that on this island?

“Jongho, baby bear, you’re being rude.” Yeosang gently scolded, touching the back of his neck to get his attention.

He tensed in an instant, his spade-shaped tail sticking straight up. That was the only indication of him being startled aside from his wide eyes. In an instant, he relaxed and looked over the fire at you, smiling.

“Oh, uh. Sorry. I spaced out. My name is Jongho. It’s nice to meet you.” He greeted. He smelled incredibly sweet, almost mouth wateringly so.

You waved at him and introduced yourself, looking at the group.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of meeting all of my mates…seven?” You’re not sure what the significance of them calling each other their ‘seven’, but you don’t pry. They all seem very close with one another, no matter what.

“We figured we might as well stop by and say hello just in case a certain angelfish decided to not bring you around to greet any of us.” Yunho answered, staring as Jongho finally finished one of the bigger pieces. He nodded in his direction and he picked it up right out of the fire, seemingly unbothered by the flames nor the heat of the fish as he immediately tore into it. Mingi followed suit, splitting his piece with San and continuing between bites.

“Our den isn’t exactly ready for other people to be in it.” He rumbled. San made a sour face before biting into his fish to seemingly keep his comment to himself.

He didn’t seem privy on you being in their ‘den’ yet.

You hummed and accepted a cooler piece of fish on a stick Seonghwa had passed over to you. It was full of flavor and you can’t help the seal-like bark of joy that came out of your mouth.

All eyes land on you and you blush, clearing your throat and looking away.

Wooyoung smiled smugly as Seonghwa gently broke off more of his fish to hand to you.

“Jongho, make sure to give our lovely new friend extra.” He instructed. Jongho nodded and handed you a bowl.

You look down into it and tilt your head.

“It’s full of protein, and I brought some freshly harvested veggies to stew in there. I added some spices, too. Not too many, though, I promise. It's very good for you.” Yeosang smiled softly and handed you a spoon. You sniff gently, the aroma smelling slightly spiced and savory. You take a sip with the spoon and smile, going in for more.

Seonghwa leaned over your shoulder, blinking owlishly.

“I want some.”

“It’s not for you.” Hongjoong muttered flatly. Seonghwa gasped in horror while Wooyoung laughed, leaning on Yeosang.

“Why not?! There’s a whole pot full of it!” He complained. Hongjoong arched a brow at him and San eyed the two of you before speaking up.

“Y/n needs the extra protein.” He spoke gently, wiping his mouth. He seemed to be trying to convey something, but it seemed to have gone over Seonghwa’s head.

Instead, you tilt your head and look at the bowl before sneaking him a spoonful anyway.

“It’s okay. I know I’m still growing into my size now that I’m SeaBorn, but I still will share with him, and you all, too. I can’t possibly eat an entire pot full of food all by myself.” You tell them.

They seem to exchange a look with one another before Yeosang sent you a gentle smile.

“Well, it’s alright. We’ll all eat until you’re full. If you want more, just call us back and we’ll be happy to make more. Or, Seonghwa can bring you around The Whetū Faewilds and I can cook something different, but just as nutritious for you.” He cooed, and you can see the freckles along his skin twinkle and glitter.

“I’d love to visit everyone’s home one day. Maybe I can make some food from my old home for you all….”you trail off, thinking about your village.

Oh.

You’d been so engrossed in your new life, you forgot your promise of revenge. You stare idly into your bowl of food, brows pulled together.

Wooyoung looked at you from across the pit, eyes narrowing for a split moment before he gently was slapped on the back of the neck.

“Stop reading the poor girl’s mind.” Yeosang scolded him, his voice low. San, Mingi, and Yunho perked regardless, looking over at you as you nurse your bowl in your hands, unbothered by the heat. Your eyes had begun to bleed into a deep red color.

“Not my fault her thoughts are so loud. That woman’s mind has a storm just festering below all the goody goody emotions Angelfish is giving her.”

Yeosang blinked before he looked over at you, as well. A stormy expression crossed your face before it disappeared the moment Seonghwa kissed you. Your grip on the stone bowl in your hands loosened and you relaxed once more into his grip, clicking and purring as he peppered kisses all over your face.

“Give it a few months, tops. She’ll call us. I’ll bet on it.” He rumbled, leaning on Yeosang. The faerie exhaled and looked at him.

“True as it may be, you need to let it come to pass naturally. For now, stop prying.”

“Yeah, yeah. You’re no fun.”

You eat and listen to the stories of the group of unlikely friends until you feel yourself dozing off, your eyes growing heavy. Seonghwa wrapped his arm around you, smiling softly.

“I think it’s time we head to bed, everyone. I promise I’ll be better about visiting.”

San sent him a look and then looked at you instead.

“....I’ll let you in our den if you make him stop by. This one is terrible at keeping his word. He gets too comfortable on this island taking care of sea turtle babies and monkeys and neglects us.”

“I do not!” Seonghwa gasped, scandalized. Jongho snorted and Mingi arched a brow.

“You haven’t stopped by in months.”

“It was during Season! You two were-” His cheeks flared red before he cleared his throat, San's face igniting as well while Mingi stared back, unbothered.

“And I told you, you could have joined. I have two-”

“I’llDoBetterLet’sJustDropIt.” Seonghwa muttered quickly, his face dusted with pink scales. You looked at him before snickering.

“It’s a promise. I want to visit, anyway.” You tell them through a yawn. Hongjoong gently motions with his hand.

“Go rest. We’ll clean up.”

You wave goodbye to them and get on Seonghwa’s back, your limbs dangling as he chuckles and disappeared back into the trees.

The seven remaining men watched the two of you leave and Yeosang glanced at Wooyoung.

“I know what you did in the first meeting, Wooyoung. Must you threaten people like that all the time? What if the stress was too much?” He scolded. Yunho sent them a curious look before tilting his head.

“Did you do something? Is that why I have this weird sense of deja vu?”

Wooyoung yawned, stretching his limbs before he flopped back, his head resting on San’s thighs. San gently ran his fingers through his hair, looking down at him.

“If anyone intends to get near you, they go through me. I needed to see if she was worthy. Besides, she’s not nearly at the point where overstress would be a concern. If I were you, I’d worry about that hatred she’s got in her pretty little head instead of me testing her.” Wooyoung checked his nails before locking eyes with a concerned Yeosang.

“That woman has murder on her mind. It’s below the surface, quieted only by her love for him, but it’s there. All we need is one monumental event, and it’s all over for that sorry-ass village. And when that time comes…”Wooyoung trailed off, humming softly.

“We help. Where she goes, Seonghwa goes and where he goes, we go.” Hongjoong cut in.

In an instant, all of their eyes hardened. Wooyoung’s lip quirked.

“Now who’s the one who’s being threatening?”

Yeosang looked at him flatly and threw a ball of magic his way. It exploded into dandelion-esque puffs and Wooyoung instantly began sneezing.

“Oh, shut up, you sound like a damn villain. Help us clean up the beach.”

.·:*¨¨* ≈☆≈*¨¨*:·.

1 Month Later

.·:*¨¨* ≈☆≈*¨¨*:·.

You feel the wind blow by you, and your lungs protest from the strain as you rush through the trees.

Several tree branches snap behind you, but you pay it no mind, rushing faster through the island’s forest.

You’re almost there. You’re so close.

Goodness, you’re a bit more winded than usual today, aren’t you?

In the briefest of moments, as your mind trailed off, you feel yourself get swept off of your feet.

“I caught you.”

You look up, sweat running down your temple as you meet Seonghwa’s gaze. He’s looking at you with deep magenta eyes, his chest rising and falling as he catches his breath.

You smile.

“You won this round. I won before. That means we need a tie breaker.” You tell him through pants, reaching to wipe his face. Seonghwa gently set you on your feet and held you close to him instead, burying his face in your neck.

You look at him, smiling softly. He’s breathing in your scent deep, and with him so close, you find yourself doing the same, grazing your fangs over his shoulder, pressing yourself against his sturdy body.

“How about we do something else?” You coo, running your fingers through damp blonde locks and tugging. Seonghwa purred deep from his core, his cock hard against your thigh as he tilted his head back.

“Kneel for me.”

Seonghwa doesn’t make you ask twice, getting down on one of his knees before you and looking up. You run your fingers through his hair, pushing it back before you lift your thigh and set it on his shoulder, smiling sweetly.

“Go ahead. Enjoy your meal.”

Seonghwa let out a keen, grabbing both of the globes of your ass and pulling you flush against him after muttering a soft ‘thank you’.

You clench and sigh, feeling him work his tongue into you, his claws leaving indents in your skin as he curled his tongue.

You move his head, thigh flexing every now and again as the sparking pleasure from his saliva started to creep into your system.

“Don’t make me cum yet, I want to make a mess of your cocks.”

You watch his pupils dilate, a reverberating growl tearing from his lips as he looked up at you. You smile, sweet as nectar as you push his face flush between your legs, challenging both him and yourself to actually fulfill that wish.

Seonghwa, for his own credit, ate you out slower and more deliberately than he usually did, kneading and panting against your pussy as your juices ran down his chin.

You don’t think you’ll ever get tired of the look on his face when he’s between your legs, dazed with his eyes deep and pink.

He could be there for hours, if you let him. You’d tested that one day and he’d only stopped because your eyes were full of pleasured tears and your legs were trembling.

You pull and tug at his hair and grit your teeth. Reluctantly, he stilled all movement, looking up at you with half lidded eyes.

“Where?” He growled, short and simple. You growl back at him, trembling and impatient.

“Right here. Both.”

He stared at you for a moment before he chuckled and pulled away from you, letting your thigh down and slowly licking his lips. He stood to his full height, backing you against a tree and leaning into your space, tilting your chin up to make you gaze deep into his eyes.

“My, you haven’t had a single time where you didn’t ask me for both.”

You stare back at him, brow arching.

“Why should I? You’re mine and that means both of them are mine too.” You fire back, running your fingers down the expanse of his abdomen until you stopped over the slit at his pelvis, smiling at the way his eyes darkened.

“You’re insatiable.” He whispered, though it distinctly lacked any real reluctance. You smile, regardless.

“Am I?”

“Yeah.”

You pretend to think for a moment before nodding, kissing the tip of his nose.

“Okay.”

He blinked, head tilting, and in an instant, you bolt back through the trees, leaving him stunned in your wake.

“I’ll take care of myself, then~” You call over your shoulder.

It took another second, and you fight the urge not to laugh as you hear the loud, undeniable roar of your name come from behind you.

The birds in the trees squawked and flew off as Seonghwa tore through the island, chasing you with renewed vigor.

“Y/N!”

“Seonghwa~!” You mock him lovingly, calling his name as you make sharp turns and pivots through the familiar terrain. This island had become your home in your time here, you were more than familiar with all it hid.

Seonghwa, of course, knew this place like the back of his hand and in no time he skid into your view, scales shimmering and glittering beautifully in the sun as he laid eyes on you. A smile stretched across his face as you rush to the left, giggling to yourself.

You find yourself at a familiar rock formation, the same from when you first arrived on the island, and realize with a pout that you’ve hit a dead end.

The sound of Seonghwa growling behind you confirmed it and you don’t even get the chance to turn around before you’re being embraced from behind. Seonghwa purred, planting kisses upon your shoulder and up your neck and ear before he nibbled the shell of it, clicking slowly.

“I caught you again. What do I win?” He purred. You smile and turn your head to kiss him, taking one of his hands and guiding it between your legs. He got the hint, long fingers working you open while he held you flush against his body.

You sigh and relax into his grip, moaning as your head rolled onto his shoulder. Seonghwa kissed you with an urgency his fingers did not share, and the mixed speeds made your head spin.

You move his other hand to your breast, smiling as he kneaded it in his free hand, rutting his cocks against your ass. You can feel him dribbling against the dimples at the small of your back and you have a passing thought.

‘He’s wasting it.’

You’ve long since stopped being flustered about these thoughts, and cup your hand over his, pushing your own fingers in beside his as you kiss him with a tad more aggression.

“Want you.” You growl, hoping he gets the hint. Seonghwa moaned into the kiss and pinched your nipple between two fingers.

“Bend over.”

You pull your fingers from yourself, sending him a searing look over your shoulder as you lick them clean. Seonghwa followed the movement with his eyes before they drifted up to yours.

“Ah ah, down here.” You spread your legs and hold your folds open, your core aching. Seonghwa pressed himself against you in an instant, slowly guiding his cock coated in essence into you first. Your eyes nearly roll back at the pleasure of finally having his warmth inside of you. A shaky gasp left your mouth as he held your hip, pushing the other into you once he was sure you’d adjusted to the first properly.

Seonghwa waited until you were ready, kissing your head and singing sweet nothings into your hair.

“Put your arms back.” He instructed and you do so, feeling him work one of his arms through both of yours, pinning them back as he slowly rolled his hips forward and keeping you arched.

“Seonghwa~”

“You’ve become such a fast baby, Y/n. I wonder what you would have done if you got away from me. Maybe I should’ve let you this time, just sit back and watch you pleasure yourself just right.” He growled against your ear, taking your earlobe between his teeth. You whine, clenching down possessively on his cocks.

He noticed, a deep, throaty groan ripping from his chest as he snapped his hips up before reminding himself he wanted to drive you crazy, slowing himself back down.

“I would have called to you-ah…faster, it’s too slow-” You whimper, trying to rock your hips back. Seonghwa’s arm flexed between yours as he held them back, clicking his tongue in your ear.

“I’m enjoying my mate. Be still.”

You shudder and feel yourself gush around him. Your body is getting hotter again, and you loosen up. Feeling precum run between your thighs as he moved faster over time.

You stand on your tiptoes as he rocked into you, moaning his name like a chorus as he nuzzled your neck.

“Sweet…you smell so sweet.” He panted, both of his cocks rocking hard into your gspot at the same time.

You feel your brain disconnect for a moment, your mouth falling open before a guttural moan of pleasure fell from your lips as Seonghwa repeated the action. Encouraged by your song, he angled his hips, focusing on making you melt in his arms, his teeth sinking into your shoulder.

Beautiful, glittering silver droplets run down as you feel him let go of your arms, pressing them above your head on the smooth rock wall as he thrusted into you.

“Seonghwa! S-seonghwa slow down I’m gonna cum-” You try fruitlessly to drag it out for longer. Seonghwa had other plans, his free hand finding its way between your legs, rubbing your clit in rapid circles as he licked your shoulder bites closed.

“Cum for me, then. You sound s-so pretty for me, clenching me like a vice….c’mon, don’t hold back. Make a mess. That’s what you want right? To make a mess of your mate’s cocks?” He chuckled into your ear, both of his cocks throbbing deep inside of you. You can feel them, and your mouth waters at the undeniable need to be bred swirling in your mind.

“K-kiss me?” You plead, nearly crying in relief as he immediately tilted his head to do so, his tongue melding against yours as you feel yourself standing on your tiptoes due to the force of his thrusts and his heights.

Your stomach bulges from the size of his cocks and the moment you hear him growl ‘I love you’ into the kiss, you feel yourself clench down, fingers flexing and clenching as you came with a spine-shaking orgasm.

Seonghwa moaned, your scent flooding his senses as he sped up his own thrusts, cumming deep inside of you and keeping himself still as he kissed you, keeping you pinned between him and the wall.

“Love you, I love you.” You pant, mewling as you look back at him, your eyes no doubt matching his in their magenta color. He smiled and hugged you close, keeping himself inside of you.

“I love you.” He rumbled, letting both of you catch your breaths and settle down before pulling out, watching as his cum and essence roll out in thick pearls, leaving a glittering puddle on the stone between your legs.

You pant, and for a moment, you consider cupping yourself to keep it inside, but you blush and perish the thought, instead.

Seonghwa picked you up, kissing your temple and carrying you off to the waterfall where you both had first gotten intimate. He gently guided you into the water, chuckling at the way your legs instantly shifted into your tail.

You look down and he ran his fingers over your tail, smiling fondly.

"Your tail really is beautiful."

You look at the gray speckles and purse your lips.

"Yours is stunning. Mine is just…"you trail off and Seonghwa clicks disapprovingly.

"Beautiful." He ran his fingertips in small loops, tracing words of love and patterns of lace along your tail and chuckling as you shudder.

"You can always tell the difference between a Seaborn who was born that way and one who used to be human. We call them Reborns, at least, the older generations did. As Hongjoong told you, humans who were turned into Seaborn will retain mammal traits. Namely, the tail." Seonghwa hummed, drumming his fingers along your tail. You look at his face, watching the cogs turn.

"Everything else is basically the same no matter the type. Our strength, our longevity, our basic anatomies, how we give birth, it's very similar regardless of being Reborn or Seaborn." He continued, beginning to wash your tail with long caresses after opening the container of self-made soap he'd left at this particular waterfall since it held sentimental value for you both.

"How do Seaborns give birth?" You inquire. He blushed and rubbed his neck.

"Laying eggs and keeping them warm?

You blink at him.

"Laying eggs…and then keeping them warm after that?"

"Yes."

"Like a chicken?"

Seonghwa gave you a funny look, his eyebrows and nose scrunching up.

"....did you just compare us to chickens?"

"....its kinda chicken-like"

He stared flatly at you and pushed you into the water further, face deadpan as you came back up laughing.

"Seonghwa! I'm right!"

"No, wash yourself, chicken girl"

You snicker and come close to him, resting your arms on his knees as you feel him work his hands into your hair, gently washing and scratching your scalp.

“Our village is fortunate. There is an underwater volcano within our territory. There is a nursery nearby that is protected by magic and round the clock security. This is for couples who are active in hunting or may not have time to incubate them above water, in sand. During particularly busy egg hatching seasons, Yunho will come and stay within one of Hongjoong’s gardens and use his body heat to keep them warm. We have had our numbers quadruple and our success rate for hatching guppies almost perfect itself because of him and Yeosang enchanting our nursery gardens for Hongjoong." Seonghwa explained, purring softly as you close your eyes.

You don't even realize the way your tail slapped the surface of the water, just enjoying the feeling of him taking care of you. He chuckled and reached in, picking you up out of the water as he continued to wash you.

His hand wanders as he sings and hums to you, but so do your lips, and it takes but a few minutes of him cleaning his essence and cum out of you before you press your face into his throat, kissing and nibbling at his pulse.

Seonghwa opened his mouth to tease you again, but paused. Once again he can smell it. That sweet scent lacing your usual one.

His fingers twitched. As you place nips and kisses along the edges of some of his scales, you can hear him rumbling.

".....sweet."

You look at him, blinking.

"Sweet?"

"Yes. You smell sweet."

You blink before you hum quietly. Your eyes drift between your legs.

"Your fingers are still inside of me."

Seonghwa’s platinum scales along his cheekbones and the corners of his eyes turn a dusty pink, but all he did was hold you close.

"Y/n."

"Yes, Seonghwa?"

You can tell there was nothing to panic about-yet-Seonghwa had spoken in a calm tone, his scales never paling or his scent tinging with fear.

Instead, excitement? Nervousness?

"I think you're pregnant."

You stare at him.

He stared back.

For a while, you think the world had stopped, had it not have been for the rushing sound of the water behind you and the gentle, steady sound of splashing as he continued to wash you with gentle, reverent hands.

Then, your eyes well up. Seonghwa bit his lip and smiled as you bring your hand to your stomach.

“Pregnant?”

“Your scent has changed. It’s sweeter than usual, gentler.”

He gently ran his hand over your stomach, landing on top of yours.

Tears roll down your cheek as you pull him down for a kiss, feeling like you were floating. He smiled into it, holding you securely as you both sang and purred words of love and adoration to one another.

That would explain…a lot, actually. The hunger you felt growing steadily, your portions growing significantly, getting winded easier while doing work around the island and in the ocean, and the increased clinginess from Seonghwa.

You two clean up and Seonghwa held your hands in his, smiling softly.

“How about we visit The Whetū Faewilds tomorrow? Yeosang may be able to help us out. He’s really good at helping out new families and I want him to give you a protection enchantment. I need to see if I can have my own seagarden somewhere here for our eggs so you can lay them separate from everyone elses. Maybe if Yunho brings a magma stone we can keep them warm on our own and-”

You watch fondly as Seonghwa excitedly chattered on about setting up your own nursery for your eggs. You cup his cheek minutes later and he stops mid-sentence, looking into your eyes.

Neither of you say a word and he simply pressed his cheek into your palm, smiling.

“Let’s get settled into bed early. We’ll leave for Yeosang’s early tomorrow.” Seonghwa suggested. You nod and smile, letting him carry you off to bed, a new kind of joy settling in your body as you cuddle into his arms that night.

˚*＊✿❀༓❀✿＊*˚

“So how are we getting to Yeosang’s faewilds? Do we swim?” You inquire, looking over at Seonghwa the following morning as you both stand on the beach.

Seonghwa fiddled with his ear, blinking as they brushed against a peridot earring.

He had a feeling something had been misaligned, but couldn’t put his finger on what. Instead, he gripped the earring and called out to the ocean.

“Wooyoung?”

There’s a silence that stretches between you both. The ocean swayed calmly, unbothered.

Seonghwa furrowed his brow and opened his mouth.

“I’m right here. What do you need?”

Both of you look behind you, finding Wooyoung standing on the air above both of you, looking down as you clutch your chest, startled. Seonghwa rubbed the small of your back and Wooyoung cocked a brow.

“You two don’t look like you’re in danger. What do you want?” He yawned, stepping off of whatever invisible platform of air he was standing on, getting right in both of your faces.

“We need a lift to The Whetū Faewilds, please.” Seonghwa informed him, smiling in greeting. Wooyoung blinked before looking at you.

Whether you noticed or not, you’d been idly rubbing small circles along your stomach, taking note of the subtle bulge forming.

“Oh, good. You both realized she’s pregnant. I see.” Wooyoung stretched and ignored the stammering coming from Seonghwa.

“You knew?”

“We all knew. Now, c’mon before I change my mind. I don’t recall when it was I said I was suddenly a transportation service.” Wooyoung grumbled. He took a few steps towards the ocean, and you could see trails of stardust glinting with his every step.

You blink.

His feet never actually made contact with the sand, now that you looked closer.

Wooyoung made a sweeping motion and in an instant, a tear appeared before you all. You frown, looking at the unnatural tear space and peer through it, holding Seonghwa’s hand. Through it, you can see a lush forest.

“I don’t have all day, go on.” Wooyoung urged, nodding towards the tear. Seonghwa smiled at you, kissing your knuckles before he pulled you towards the spacial tear, guiding you into it.

Immediately, the aroma around you changes.

The smell of sea salt disappeared into the distance, now replaced with fresh rain and flowers. You breathe deep, smiling as it caresses you and brings about an instant calm. The forest seemed to welcome your presences, and you watch as a tiny, cotton ball shaped entity bounced over to you.

It made a noise you could only describe as a puppy-like squeak before it ran down a row of fragrant plumeria and gardenia bushes.

“That’s a faerie, they’re leading us to Yeosang.” Seonghwa explained. You smile and turn to thank Wooyoung, but find him already missing.

“Oh-uh, okay, let’s go.” You take Seonghwa’s hand and follow the fae through the forest. You are careful not to step on any flowers along the way. A few other fae peeked out of the bushes, watching you before they began following you both, some of them cooing and climbing up Seonghwa’s body with a sense of familiarity.

You smile, watching as the small glowing puffs dot your mate. One of them crossed the bridge between your and his shoulders, squeaking as it pressed against your cheek and began to shake in what you assumed was excitement.

“Ah, you’re here. Welcome.”

You look up and blink in surprise, finding yourself standing in front of a beautiful hut in the center of a village you don’t remember walking into. You look around, lips parted as you spy faeries of all shapes and sizes, looking curiously at you as they held fruit and flora in various baskets.

Your eyes drift back in front of you and you find Yeosang smiling softly at you both, his hair secured back in a clip and a dangling jewled hairclip catching your attention as he walked closer.

“You kept your word and stopped by. I appreciate it. We’ve missed you,Seonghwa, and my people have wanted to greet you, Y/n.” He gently gave Seonghwa a hug. Seonghwa closed his eyes and leaned down, pressing his forehead to Yeosang’s. Yeosang closed his eyes back, gently holding Seonghwa’s forearms.

When they pulled away, Yeosang muttered something in a tongue you couldn’t understand, smiling softly before he looked at you.

“Do you mind?” He asked, holding his arms open. You smile and lean into his embrace without a second’s hesitation. Yeosang smiled and hugged you back. He pulled away after a moment or two and you follow what Seonghwa had done, closing your eyes and tilting your head up slightly. You miss the small look of surprise on Yeosang’s face before it melted into a fond look, with him leaning down to press his forehead to yours, breathing gently.

A sense of warmth and welcome washed over you, and just like with Seonghwa, Yeosang pulled away and muttered something. This time you could understand him.

‘Welcome home.’

Seonghwa put his arm around you and guided you into Yeosang’s home, sitting down first and patting his lap. You sit down with a small blush, settling into his embrace as Yeosang began to move about his home, grabbing some decorative cups and setting them in front of you both before he set down a few small ceramic bowls.

“So, I can smell the excitement on you both, and I noticed you had Wooyoung bring you here instead of making the day-long swim…I’m assuming you both have come to realize you are with children, yes?” Yeosang inquired, his movements graceful as he removed the lids of each bowl. You lift your head to peek, seeing dried flowers and fruit inside of each one, as well as the one at the end having some form of glittering powder.

“Was I really the last to know?” Seonghwa frowned. You laugh behind your hand and kiss his jaw after turning your head and Yeosang chuckled, gently adding certain petals and leaves to a small bag, tucking them carefully into it.

“It’s alright. Love is as exhilarating as it is blinding.” Yeosang mused, looking at both of you with a gentle fondness in his eyes.

“How are you feeling, Miss?” He inquired. You wave gently.

“Y/n is fine, Yeosang. I’ve been slowing down a bit but I’m okay. I imagine in the next eight months that may change drastically.”

Both he and Seonghwa looked at you curiously before Yeosang hummed gently, adding dried apple and lemon to one bag.

“Seaborns do not hold their eggs for nine months like humans do their young. You will probably need to lay in about two or so months. You’re a month in, so you’ll notice your body adjusting and changing fairly quickly from here on out.” He explained. You feel your lips part, staring at him in surprise.

“Two months?”

“Or somewhere about that time, yes. I recommend you keep your stress levels down and try and stay away from dangerous situations until then.” He met your eyes and you feel like there’s something he’s not saying in this moment. You don’t look away, rubbing Seonghwa’s knuckles as he adjusted his embrace.

“What would I be doing that’s dangerous, Yeosang?”

Yeosang’s eyes didn’t betray anything in his head, and instead he only shrugged a shoulder.

“I don’t know, I’m just warning you regardless.”

He put the bags in the cups and gently poured the water into them. A pleasant aroma flooded the room and you find yourself sniffing eagerly, watching as he covered each cup with a small lid made of some kind of wood.

He closed his eyes and took a moment, seemingly thinking before he looked at you both once more.

“You would like me to place a protective enchantment on your womb, correct?” Yeosang inquired. You and Seonghwa nod in unison and Yeosang hummed, staring at the cups.

“Have you chosen a place to lay your clutch?” He inquired, looking into Seonghwa’s eyes.

“On the island, in a mini spring with a waterfall.”

“Is it deep enough to have a magma stone placed in it without overheating it?”

“I would need a smaller stone than usual, but yes. It's a good twenty-five feet deep. At least.”

Yeosang tapped his lip and nodded quietly, humming to himself. He took the lid off of the cups and gently grabbed some of the glittering dust from the final ceramic bowl, sprinkling it into your cup before smiling softly and handing it to you.

“Here.”

You take a moment to take a deep breath, enjoying the aroma of hibiscus mixed with dried fruit. You sip gently and lean back against Seonghwa’s chest fully.

“How many guppies do Seaborns usually have?”

Yeosang looked at Seonghwa, arching a brow. Seonghwa rubbed your hips, putting his chin over your head.

“If all goes well, usually two or three. If they aren't incubated properly, they won’t make it. We also would have to watch for predators. Usually, the creatures of the ocean stray clear of Seaborns but nurseries that aren't properly guarded have been known to have opportunity hunters go after the eggs.” he sighed.

The sound of a growl drew both of their attention to you. A deep leer settled on your face, your eyes bleeding into crimson as you gripped the cup tight.

“Baby?”

“I’ll kill anything that comes near my fucking babies, Seonghwa.”

He blinked in surprise before he rubbed your hips and kissed your cheek.

“I know, baby. Nothing will get close to our nursery.”

Yeosang watched the two of you and moved closer, sitting in front of you.

“Can you lift your shirt? Just so I can see your stomach?” He inquired. Seonghwa moved his hands away from yours so you could decide and after you sit up a bit, you lift your shirt up until it was bunched over your belly.

Yeosang’s eyes gleamed, and he held his hand over your stomach, fingertips glowing. He blinked for a moment before he exhaled, laughing to himself. You frown at him, worry settling in your brow.

“What? What’s wrong?” You ask quickly. He waved and pressed his palm firmly against your belly.

“Nothing, just thinking. Hold still for a moment.” He instructed. You hold your breath without thinking. Yeosang’s fingertips begin to glow with a soft, pastel yellow twinkle, small symbols appearing around the curve of your stomach before he pulled his hand away and gently lowered your shirt.

“I’ve put some protective magic over your womb. Remember to be careful, it doesn’t make you immune to injuries, but it simply makes it easier for you with carrying and eventually when you lay. I’ll send you both home with some fae meals to keep your energy high and boost your health. Because you are a Reborn, you will find that your body will most likely begin to lactate, as well. Only Reborns can, seeing as you hold onto your mammal genetics to some extent. You can come back to me when your guppies are born and I will provide you with more Fae meals in order to keep your body healthy and cleansed of toxins so you can nurse them…if you choose to do so.” Yeosang explained, moving to sit back down, taking a sip of the tea in front of him. You touch your stomach ever so slightly and looked over at the kind Fae man.

“That’s so kind of you…all of this is…Is there anything I can to repay you for your kindness?”

Seonghwa kissed your head and pressed a kiss to your temple.

“Yeosang, I’d like to show her around the village and your forest. Is it alright if I do it alone? I want her to see the Vermillion Gardens. If you don’t want anyone there, I understand, too.” Seonghwa spoke gently, and you could tell from the way Yeosang had paused his drinking, this was something of a special place.

He rose his gaze up to the two of you before he smiled, his nose scrunching slightly.

“Just be mindful of the flowers. Do not stray too far from them. My Faewilds may be friendly towards those I welcome here, but that does not mean you shouldn’t watch your own back.“

Seonghwa smiled wide and took your hand, pulling you out of the hut and guiding you through the beautiful village.

Yeosang watched the two of you leave and sat down, bringing a cup of tea up to his lips.

“I never expected you to be such a softie for an addition of The Fold.” He spoke into the brim of the cup. For a moment, there was no response in the seemingly empty room.

Then,

“A ‘softie’? You wound me. I don’t give a damn about that woman or those kids, I just want to make sure-”

“There was an Eldritch rune on her womb long before I touched her. I wonder who that came from.” Yeosang cut him off and motioned to the empty spot beside him, his fingers glowing as a second cup of tea began brewing. Sure enough, Wooyoung emerged, taking a seat beside him, pouting.

“I really can’t hide a thing from you, huh?” He grumbled. Yeosang sent him a smile, eyes twinking with mirth.

“No, you can’t. I don’t even know why you try at this point.”

˚*＊✿❀༓❀✿＊*˚

You step carefully as you trek through the Vermillion Garden, the petals of countless spider lilies tickling your ankles as you walk beside Seonghwa. There was a gazebo in the center of the field and Seonghwa carefully helped you sit in a bench, touching you with added care, as if you were to lay at any moment.

It was as equally adorable as it was endearing.

Seonghwa put an arm around you, looking at the illuminated flowers as he took a deep breath. You admire your surroundings, holding Seonghwa’s hand.

“This flower field…is it special?” You inquire. Seonghwa nodded, looking up at the stars above. The sky was a much different color than the one back on the beach.

Instead of a pitch black or a deep blue, the night sky was a deep purple. A shimmering aurora flowed through the sky above the two of you, and for a few moments, you forget to breathe, simply taking it all in.

“The heart and soul of the Faewilds. It all started here. Yeosang always brought us here when something good would happen in our lives. Something about the flowers helping lift the soul and spirit. So…its only right I bring you here.”

You blush and smile, kissing him slowly. Around you, the flowers begin the glow, wisps of light dancing around the night sky like fireflies. You cup Seonghwa’s face, feeling like you were floating.

Everything was going to be alright.

….right?

no PLS yess.. also i don’t want to yap AT you i want ur opinion plsss more switch!matthew i think the dynamic between dom!jiwoong and switch!reader, switch!matthew goes crazyyyy like especially if the 3 of u live together or like matt and y/n are roommates and jiwoong visits… a LOT.

matthew can be a great dom sometimes but also he is such a good subby boy. i feel like he is/could be very obedient to jiwoong and would definitely be sooo flustered and dumb and bratty if jiwoong was provoking him.. like maybe y/n isn’t dating either but jiwoong knows matty likes you, so he’s always flirting with you and coming over to hangout just to piss matthew off but he also knows matthew would never make a move on you on his own because he wouldn’t want to make jiwoong mad at him >:(((( so matthew waits until jiwoong sets up a time for the 3 of you to “get to know each other better” but he’s so mad that jiwoong is getting to touch and kiss you, despite knowing that matthew has a crush on u so he gets so desperate and mean and ultimately subby for you because he wants you so bad that it hurts and he’ll do anything he needs to, to have you, even if he ends up humiliating himself <333333

i just kinda have a fantasy of legal zb1 members like jiwoong, and hanbin, and zhang hao cucking matthew (i think he would go crazy for it, he’d deny it but it’d be such a turn on for him)

- 🧁 anon

no bc even tho i keep pushing the soft dom!jiwoong agenda ,, maybe he was the real mean dom all along bc he lovessss to see matthew getting all upset but not being able to do nothing bc in the end u r not together so ....

went kinda crazy with this one woopsie so im putting the rest under the cut

n tbh cant even blame him bc matthew would look soooo cute all sulky n upset n doing anything u ask of him just bc u got a little too touchy with jiwoong in front of him ,, deep down he loves it tho („• ᴗ •„)

taking from what u said like almost at the start of ur ask , lets say u n matt r roommates , n jiwoong comes over often - sometimes just to hang out with the two of u (mostly just u while matthew sulks in his corner of the couch n acts like a kicked puppy until u give him some attention) , usually to have threesomes . n then theres the secret third option , which is when u - insanely oblivious abt matthew's crush - dont rlly feel like fucking both of them . thats cool thats valid , but instead of going to ur roommate/fwb/pseudo-situationship u decide to just call jiwoong .

he'd be so enthusiastic abt it bc to him thats a double win : he gets to fuck you AND he probably somehow gets to piss of matthew in one way or another

while u , still oblivious as ever , think u r doing a nice thing by giving matthew a heads up abt the fact jiwoong is coming over , poor poor matt thinks u r so cruel .... not only r u fucking his #1 arch enemy , you're also rubbing it into his face like its nothing ?!

clearly , the most reasonable thing for matthew would be just leaving for a walk or something until u r done with whatever u need to do . except matthew is anything but reasonable , n as much as he hates to admit it he does get off to the thought of jiwoong having u all to himself n fucking u in another room while matt cant even look at u , let alone join in .

which is why he'll probably find himself right beside ur door , listening to ur moans as jiwoong fucks u and desperately jerking off to all the sounds u let out . maybe in the hopes of either u or jiwoong catching him once u r done .. he wouldn't mind getting punished for being a dirty little perv :3

also the last thing u said REALLL SO REAL

My Main WIPs

The Best Years of Our (Resurrected) Lives

After a hostage situation gone awry during a field trip, many of the Townsville citizens agreed to have the beloved Powerpuff Girls taken out of public school to ensure the safety of their peers. From the ages of 9 to 15, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup Utonium were homeschooled by Professor Utonium. With many of Townsville's most notorious villains locked away indefinitely, crime in Townsville has managed to calm down (mostly). This leaves the girls' main concern to be one of their toughest arch enemies ever, The Rowdyruff Boys, who the girls haven't had a run in with since they were seven years old.

Unbeknownst to the girls, the Rowdyruff Boys had their own troubles. With Mojo being a permanent resident at Pokey Oaks Penitentiary, and HIM disowning the trio, the boys were truly on their own. Desperate, starving, and weak, Brick, Butch, and Boomer managed to literally fall onto someone else's doorsteps. Years after living in a group home and completing their house arrest, their caregiver, Marie, pushes the boys to integrate into society by enrolling them at Townsville Central High.

A year later, Principal Green invites the girls to TCH in an attempt to pacify the concerns of students, staff, and loved ones who still feel unsafe around the boys. Forced to face one another, the six super-powered beings make amends, all while dealing with regular, human high-school issues, former and new enemies out for their blood (in both a figurative and literal sense), and uncovering the corrupted underbelly of Townsville's politics and how it all connects to some of the major villains to have ever roamed the streets.

Main Ships: Lowkey still don't know tbh but I'm thinking either Bluegrass (Bubbles x Butch), Cotton Candy (Blossom x Boomer), and Christmas Ornaments (Buttercup x Brick) OR Blues, Reds, and Greens (or I might just post two very different versions of the same story lol).

Also, the boys might get two moms and Princess Morbucks redemption!

All Grown Up (Kinda)

The City of Townsville has had its ups and downs, but without the superhero sister triplets, The Powerpuff Girls, the city would be left in ruins. Thanks to the construction of Townsville's newest, tightest, and strictest prison, TBA, many of the severe, repeat offending villains can be forever detained, leaving the other reformed villains to live amongst the innocent. Mini Dynamo robots invented by Professor Utonium take on the tougher, more difficult jobs for the cops. So where does that leave the girls? Retired. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup's main concerns now are their own personal problems. Blossom's in grad school, still somewhat unsure of what she wants to do after and struggling with her serious, long distance relationship. Buttercup, a former Olympian, had recently been barred from competing after her cheating scandal, which also resulted in the loss of her brand deals, forcing her to move back home and take a teaching job at their younger sister's middle school. Bubbles, while the most secure in her personal identity outside of her sisters, overworks herself with her activism and charity and her entertainment gigs, with barely any time to herself. Or to spend with her sisters, only God would know how long it's been since the three have been in the same room for longer than five minutes (without arguing).

The Rowdyruff Boys, on the other hand, are doing quite well for themselves. Boomer, a rather populated ghost writer and producer, stars his own subsidiary music label. Butch opens his own gym, while still DJing at the club they all own. Brick owns an apartment complex that doubles as a restaurant on the first two floors, where tenants can work to pay in labor if needed, and also recently opened a theater. Their days of attacking the Powerpuff Girls are over, thanks to the deal they've made with HIM. Every night, once a year, the Rowdyruff Boys must complete a favor in exchange for their freedom and they must not speak of their deal to anyone. So long as they don't get caught, they're in the clear.

Fate, however, decides to have the six reunite. And while the interactions were much calmer and more civil than anticipated, the timing couldn't have been worse. Former, now rehabilitated villains have been found murdered, with messages left behind for both the boys and girls. Now, the six will have to work together to find the culprit, all while learning how to "adult".

Main Ships: Blues, Reds, and Greens

Professor Utonium is also married and has a biological daughter and step-son.

Also, the Rowdyruff Boys might get two moms.

Mean Boys

Elmer Sgloo had never attended a real school after his monstrous rampage through Townsville. But at the ripe age of 17, his parents felt that now was the best time for Elmer to reintegrate with his peers at Townsville Central High. While the Powerpuff Girls are more than happy to show him around on the first day, he catches the attention of the most infamous, dangerous, and out right belligerent triplets to ever live in Townsville; the Rowdyruff Boys. No one has ever had the opportunity to infiltrate their small circle, but after accepting their rather casual lunch invitation, he becomes the Powerpuff's newest pawn to spy on the boys, and investigate their newest weapon, a "Burn Book" crafted from the depths of hell.

Main Ships: Still unsure, I'm almost certain it'll be Reds, Blues, and Greens with Elmer x Julie Bean (she's the Aaron Samuels equivalent), but I think Elmer x Brick would be a cool plot twist (or I'm considering making it one-sided on Brick's end). Idk, it's my newest idea, I'm still working out the details.

Wrapped In A Bow (title pending lmao)

Blossom Utonium's...friendship with Princess Morbucks had never made sense to anyone, not even her sisters. Their intense, competitive nature had led everyone to believe that they hated each other's guts. But ever since high school, the two were peas in a pod. Blossom supported Princess's interest in robotics and was the perfect study buddy, while Princess was the devil on Blossom's shoulder, encouraging her to let loose and have fun.

And once Princess learns that Blossom got into her dream school for grad, she's right at her side in her flying Gucci modded heels, begging for one night out on the town. Clubbing, partying, and drinking were more of her sisters' forte, but Blossom eventually agrees to one night for the hell of it.

What she hadn't expected was a run-in with Brick Keane, another former arch-nemesis of hers, who tags along with the girls.

She wakes up the next morning with articles and videos trending of the three redheads having the time of their lives, and the guilty parties laid next to her naked on her left and right. Possibly dating one former villain was scandalous enough, but two former villains could be quite a handful. Blossom's mostly pristine reputation is now in danger, and if there's anything Blossom cared about, it's about how she's perceived. Could she make this work?

Main Ships: R3ds (Blossom x Princess x Brick), maybe Greens and Blues, but I'm also considering other ships to explore outside of them.

i have no idea what episode this is part 2

part 2 of this post i think?? tbh i found the clip in some random youtube video i have no idea if this takes place directly after or not and im just judging based on the time of day/setting

(i actually did search through like. the last few episodes of season 1 and the first few episodes of shou and i couldnt find shit so i'm assuming that this episode happened in one of the places i didnt check. not for lack of trying but because the website i was using straight up died on the spot trying to load them all so quickly)

(edit: it's episode 16 of durarara season 1 ty @/pineapplething)

this screenshot is killing me actually. i had to pause instead of doing the 0.25 speed thing because i need his hands to be on his hips so it looks like he's just. staring down at the thing judgingly. izaya's pose is so funny because right before that he's like

'what the fuck are you doing shizu-chan'

i forget the context of this scene too but like. why wasnt he pointing the knife at shizuo?? what were they doing. bro i love not having ANY context whatsoever and being too lazy to look up the actual episode

anyway babygirl looks so ugly in those shots god bless

bro why you arching your back like that 🤨

in front of izaya too. god

the way they have four separate reaction shots for izaya. bro the things that must've been going on through his head were NOT safe for work on god.

the way he says 'seriously' and then remembers to point the knife like bro had to take a second. he was processing. he almost looks enamored in that first shot actually (<- delusional)

izaya's rectangle prism ass never ceases to amaze. glad he keeps that in both art styles

shizuo looks so funny from this angle i bet you could get the most unhinged smear frames every time he goes rage mode

can we get like an angry shizuo aesthetic moodboard except it's all either low quality or smear frames. it'd be really funny trust

also incredible how shizuo can extend the length of the guard rail to like. twice its size. it was not that big in the previous images. i wonder if that's a metaphor for something

god these SUCKED to get pictures of because celty comes in so fast and there's no indication of when the frames will switch but i do it for you (im doing this for me. im obsessed. i have a final on tuesday for the class i have a B in but actually i think it's a D now)

these would probably be much easier to screenshot if i just downloaded the videos but why would i do that when i can press the back arrow key 50 zillion times and listen to the crunchy 0.25 audio explode every time shizuo opens his mouth

this image gets me every time ugh they almost look like they were having a casual conversation or smth (<-delusional)

just. arch enemies both being distracted by something long enough to stop beefing with each other does something to me. i dont even know it doesnt have to be romantic i just like watching it (although it's usually romantic because im a sucker for enemies to/and lovers if you couldnt tell by my usual ships)

that's the end of this scene (or at least the youtube clip of it. you cannot ask me to load all those anime episodes again) but like man. good shit ill be replaying this in my brain for the next week or so

#shizaya #if anyone knows what episode this is...please tell me...im dying #im pretty sure it's sometime in shou and probably near the end but i cant load ittttttt #i need to know what happens after this so i can write a canon divergent fanfic of it where they go home and bang #izaya orihara #shizuo heiwajima #durarara

i am facing the fears of coming off anon here but anyways here’s all the roosters as “friends”:

i feel like pursuit!rooster would be the easiest to get along with if ur “normal” like me. he’s fairly loyal, maybe he’s pinning after his best friend while dating another girl (everyone can’t be perfect ok), but besides that he’s pretty decent & rlly funny too! he’ll finally fuck u after 8 years of rlly sexual eye contact & soft physical touches in ur mutual best friends fiancés parents cabin too! & if u call him daddy or lieutenant it makes it even better!

mfiy!bradley seems to also be “semi” normal besides being an ashole towards girls…so overall guys (until he hooks up with their sister… *cough jake* who seemingly had no issue with bradley being a dick up until he did what he does TO EVERY GIRL to his little sister) love him!! he’s secretly a whore for u if ur rlly feminist though, at first he finds u annoying then he realizes how much he wants u to ride his dick & tell him how much of an asshole he is (while u choke him) for being sexist.

tip!rooster? def a good friend if you’ve got daddy issues. he can talk to the “younger” crowd with no attachments. gives amazing advice, however this might become an issue in the future if there’s physical attraction. no really, he has a thing for younger girls who have daddy issues & he can’t help himself bc it somehow fixes his own daddy issues.

subrosa!rooster? an absolute king. he’s friends with everyone, even old people. like literally he’ll go to a movie with a 58 year old… until he meets ur daughter & wants to fuck her…. that’s when things go south in ur relationship (i’m sorry ice. ik u love nick’s kid until u found out he was the reason ur daughter had a “sore throat so she can’t talk a lot at dinner”)

foroldtimessake!rooster is the best friend you could ask for. he’ll be ur dd AND fuck u the next morning in bed (that happens to be at ur dad’s house who also happens to be his god father). three times, twice with just his mouth/fingers. what an amazing friend wow! no but fr he’s such a sweetheart, he will fuck u like a whore but then treat u like a princess. what a king.

now nervesofsteele!rooster would be a good friend but a better frenemie. he will literally fuck the brat out of you without asking (yes there’s always consent dw) & wont even except ur “thank you” ‘s. he’ll do it for free, WHILE simultaneously catching feelings for you. now that’s a good friend if u ask me. esp considering ur older brother is his arch nemesis.

ceasefire!rooster is so sweet to you. the best boy, you might even have a crush on him. the only issue is he doesn’t reciprocate the crush… he actually wants to fuck ur mom, which he will never admit to bc he knows it’s gonna hurt ur feelings. he’ll always be there for you, unless ur complaining abt ur mom, then he’ll for some odd reason be on her side.

dogfight!rooster (this is my favorite fic of urs besides pursuit & sub rosa, not like every fic u right isn’t amazing… it’s just u got friends to lovers to enemies to hate sex SO good here) is an amazing friend. except for when he catches feelings. then it ruins everything. but you figured out if u pretend to hate him it actually turns him on & the hate sex is so good that even hangman wishes he could be as much of a bitch as u can so someone could tame him that well.

sowhydotheycallyourooster!rooster would be sweet but for some reason i feel like he could be critical and condescending. mf is always judging ur s/o’s but that is j bc he secretly wants to be them.

helpinghand!rooster will gossip with u abt work drama & drama in general. i’m fr he’s a gossip addict. everyone knows this. except sometimes he can use the gossip to his advantage like when u told him ur ex didn’t make him cum & that very night he ended up in ur bedroom.

i’m done that was quite fun tbh

omg hi!! I reblogged one of your posts earlier and had no idea it was you!! You’re too sweet for all of this!

Pursuit rooster would be such a good friend bc he’s fiercely loyal but I think all the sexual tension and pining would finish me off

I absolutely think that MFIY Bradley is someone that believes that guys and girls can’t be friends bc they’ll always end up fucking. And then some headstrong girl becomes his best friend and he’s like oh wait, maybe we can. And then they probably fuck

TiP Rooster is a whole can of worms, I think pre-Hawaii he probably would’ve been fine as a friend. During Hawaii is his off the rails era and post Hawaii… well… you guys’ll see

Sub Rosa Rooster!! Oh my god “sorry I’m the reason your daughter had a sore throat and couldn’t talk at dinner” killed meeeeee!! Yeah he’s a great friend. He’ll be besties with your dad - until your dad tries to ruin his career for sleeping w you :p

For OLD TIMES SAKE ROOSTER MY BELOVED!! I loved this so much, this comment alone made me want to write about them again! 😭

Nerves of Steel rooster is an incredible friend if you stay on his good side but an even better fuck if you get on his bad side and I stand by that

Ceasefire rooster literally being the guy from Stacy’s mom has killed me 😂😂

I 100% agree with the dogfight rooster analysis, especially the his feelings ruining it part. I’m a firm believer that when rooster feels things, he feels them in a big way

This was the most perfect thing in the entire world!! Thank you so much for writing it <33

Fate and Phantasms #15P: Euryale

Now that Gudaguda’s done and dusted, we can get back to going back to older servants in pathfinder! Today we’re showing off Euryale’s new form, where she’s become a Starlit Span Magus to combine her skill with a bow and arrow with her natural charms. Those charms are also why we pop into the Celebrity and Captivator archetypes, and once we run out of stuff from there we’ll head to the Archer archetype once more to arch slightly better.

Check out her build breakdown below the cut, or her character sheet over here!

Next up: Can PF2E do suicide attacks better than D&D? We’re about to find out the hard way!

Ancestry and Background

When we were making the snek sisters in D&D, Yuan-tis did a lot of heavy lifting for them. Unfortunately, Yuant-ti don’t exist in pathfinder. But if you want to make a small mischievous person who messes with people using magic it’s hard to go wrong with the Sprite. While this means you take a dip to your strength, you make up for that with an extra boost, giving you +2 in Intelligence, Dexterity, and Charisma. You also have to put up with a slower speed than most, but your low-light vision is helpful, and your Magical Strikes will make every hit you make a little more special even after you’ve run out of spells.

You’re also tiny, which is a little too small for our taste. Instead, become a Pixie so you’re only Small sized instead. You also gain Evanescent Wings, letting you reach higher shelves. Euryale doesn’t really fly, but some of those flips she does in her animations are clearly defying gravity.

At level 5 you can whistle a Catchy Tune as an action, making a performance check against enemy wills. If you succeed, they’ll slow down and become flat-footed for a round. It’s basically a charm without being a charm effect.

At level nine you can put on a Fey Disguise, casting illusory disguise once per day, allowing you to better match the beauty standards of those around you, what with you being the “perfect idol” and all. At seventh level this will disguise your sounds and scent as well, and at 9th you can even copy individuals perfectly if they’re the same size as you.

At level 13 you can use a Sprite’s Spark as an attack if you run out of arrows. It’s a ranged unarmed attack that deals 1d4 mental damage.

Finally at level 17 you can Energize Wings, giving you a proper flying speed of 30’ for one minute each hour. I mean you’re practically cupid, might as well be able to fly properly.

While “literal goddess” still isn’t a background in pathfinder, you can at least be Blessed by one. This gives you another boost in Charisma and Intelligence, and you become trained in the lore of the goddess who blessed you. So… Euryale Lore. Or maybe Stheno, it’s hard to tell. Either way, you can also cast Guidance at will, or maybe your DM will come up with something else for you. It’s an extra +1 bonus for a creature once per hour per creature, and that’s never a bad thing.

Class Levels

1. Euryale hits people with arrows and charms them, that’s a Magus if ever I did see one. This gives you another boost to Dexterity as your key ability, you also get trained in Perception, Arcana, Reflex saves, weapons, and unarmored, light, and medium armor. You’ll also get training in Religion and Diplomacy now, and Stealth, Deception, Occultism, Nature, and Society as your brain gets bigger. tbh I’m not sure if Euryale magic counts as religion or occultism, but you’ve got both now so whatever. On top of that, you’re an expert in fortitude and will saves, goddess core and all that.

Anyways, onto the important stuff. At level 1 you get another Ability Boost in Dexterity, Intelligence, Constitution, and Charisma. You gain some funky Arcane Spellcasting from a spellbook you carry around with eight cantrips and four 1st level spells, plus two more spells every time you level up. Much like a wizard, you can copy spells you find in later, but unlike a wizard you have very, very few spell slots. Two in your highest level of casting and two in your next highest level, to be specific. For most of the build anyway, make sure you check your handbook for the exact slots per level. You can heighten spells to cast them with the higher level slots, though.

The big part of the class is your Spellstrike, which lets you use a spell attack and a weapon attack at the same time. The attack takes two actions, and recharging for another spellstrike takes one action, or when you cast a focus spell. Right now you can only use spells that attack a single target, but we’ll mix things up in a second.

Normally spellstrikes have to be melee, but since you trained in the Starlit Span, you can use ranged attacks as well if you’re targeting something within the first range increment. For a shortbow, that’s 60’. Your focus spell lets you make a Shooting Star, a ranged strike that ignores concealment and reduces the effectiveness of cover. If it hits, then every attack against that creature gets the same bonuses for a round. Pink glowy arrows, right out the gate!

You can also enter an Arcane Cascade after you cast a spell or make a spellstrike to add extra damage to your weapon attacks. Your melee weapon attacks. So yeah, it’s useless here.

Finally, we have to talk about actual spells. You get eight cantrips and four spells, but you can only prepare 5 cantrips and one spell cast each day, at least for now. We’re only going to bring up four cantrips here, since that’s how many really fit, but we’ll talk about all the spells you get.

For cantrips, grab Detect Magic to sense magic. It would be awkward if you and your sister got in each other’s way, right? You also get Prestidigitation for minor magical effects, Time Sense for a perfect sense of time (… look they can’t all be super cool), and Protect Companion to improve Asterios’ AC when you fight by his side. In the same vein, Ant Haul will beef up his carrying capacity for a few hours, and Mage Armor increases your AC while you’re not wearing armor. You can wear armor, but that clashes with your look. Aside from that, you can Befuddle and Charm enemies, confusing or, well, charming them respectively.

2. At second level your Expansive Spellstrike lets you use spells that don’t directly attack a creature, so now you can charmlock motherfuckers while hitting them in the face at the same time.

Once you run out of spell slots, you’re still a Charming Liar, letting you make an impression at the same time you lie, as long as it makes sense for the lie to puff up your importance. You’re a goddess, make sure everyone knows it. Even if you’re only level 2.

This is also the first time we can take an archetype, like the Celebrity Dedication, letting you Upstage enemies as a reaction, making the same skill check they did. If you do better than they did, you get a +1 bonus to attacks, checks, and saves for a round. You also Earn Income more easily by mentally enslaving some poor shmucks.

We also get more combat-oriented spells like True Strike for advantage on one attack and Magic Weapon for improved odds with all your attacks. Though, all your attacks are already magic, so it’s not quite as big a deal as usual.

3. If you want to upstage people, you need to be good at just about everything. Fortunately, you’re a goddess, so your Untrained Improvisation is on point. That gives you half your level as a bonus on untrained checks, and at level 7 that increases to your full level.

Also, your Diplomacy gets a little better. We can mind control people, but that’ll eat through your spell slots so fast it isn’t funny. Best have a backup.

You can also play Mind Games to stun an enemy, making them lose a few actions each time they fail a save. We also pick up the first of your vampirism options this level. I don’t know why you’re a vampire, but you are. Umbral Mindtheft is weird, but it kind of fits the bill- you can make a steal action to take a lore skill from a creature- on a success you deal psychic damage, and you gain that knowledge. Is that what NP charge is? Probably not, but it’s cool.

4. At level four your Steady Spellcasting makes it a little easier to prevent disruptions while concentrating on spells. Losing mind control when you’re relying on it is super bad, don’t do it.

Even better, win people over without spells by Glad-Handing them as soon as you meet them. You get a demerit to the check, but you can try again at the usual time anyway so there’s literally no harm in trying.

Finally, as a celeb you Never Tire, letting you push off being fatigued for up to a minute. Again, goddess core baybee. No negative status effects allowed!

These spells are literally just Goddess Core again- Endure Elements protects you from either severe heat or cold, and Slough Skin helps you remove persistent damage and you get a bonus against contact poison. It’s gross, but you are snek after all.

5. Fifth level’s easy. an Ability Boost in Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Also, your Lightning Reflexes increase your reflex saves to expert, and you also gain expertise in Arcana and weapon attacks.

Fifth level also gets you third level spells, and it’s time for Vampiric Touch. It’s actual vampirism, with the only downside being that you have to be in touch range to- oh, what’s that? You can literally shoot spells at people? Well, isn’t that just dandy! You can also Enthrall people. It’s neat, they have a hard time noticing anyone else.

6. At sixth level, your Knowledge is Power. If you critically succeed at recalling knowledge on a creature, you get a +1 bonus on your next attack on them, to your AC on their next attack against you, and your next save from their effect- you can even give this to your allies! It works once per option, but lasts a minute. I mostly wanted it for the save boost, but the whole kit’s nice.

You can also Trick Magic Items, letting you use your Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion to use a magic item that you normally wouldn’t. You spend an action, and if you succeed, you can use your other actions to use the item. We’re only getting Arcane and Occult spellcasting in this build, so this’ll help you reach godhood.

Finally, something more directly Euryale-ish. Your Mesmerizing Gaze can fascinate a creature who fails their will save once you lock eyes on them. It’s not stone vision, but it’s still pretty stunning, if I say so myself.

For your other third level spells, Hypnotic Pattern and Distracting Chatter will both ruin someone’s life- the former works in a specific area, hypnotizing anyone inside. The latter forces some poor sap to hear dozens of voices from nowhere, generally interrupting his day.

7. At seventh level, your Arcane Sense lets you detect magic innately. You’re just better than other people. Also, this way you and your sister don’t stumble into each other’s magical nonsense.

You also get better at lying to people about which sister you are thanks to your expertise in Deception, and if that doesn’t work you can shoot them harder with your Weapon Specialization.

The unique thing this level is your Studious Spells, which give you two extra 2nd level spell slots which can only be used on a reduced list of spells. The only important ones right now are True Strike and Darkvision. These slots also level up as you do, and we’ll go over them again when that happens.

You’ve gotten so convincing you can tell people something has a False Nature and they’ll naturally believe you. Call a piece of wood stone and everyone who didn’t see it before will immediately agree with you until they break the illusion the old-fashioned way. If someone sees you do this they get a save, but that’s still not a guarantee they won’t fall for it.

You also gain some Reflective Scales, giving you resistance against one type of elemental damage. As they block damage, they store that energy- as a two action move, you can end the spell early to blast that energy out in an area around you. The explosion isn’t very Euryale, but the protection’s nice.

8. Eighth level makes your Arcane Cascade actually do something for a change- while in the stance, your Starlit Eyes lower the DC to target hidden and concealed creatures, removing the check entirely for striking a hidden creature with Shooting Star.

You also learn how to Sow Rumors during your downtime, altering other peoples’ ability to gather information on a subject. Rumors like how tall your sister is, for one.

We’ll also pop into a new archetype this level as a Captivator. This will make you a master of Deception, and you can Daze and Phase Bolt enemies innately.

You also get more magus spells- Dimensional Anchor prevents a creature from leaving this plane, attempting to counteract any teleporting spells cast on them for up to an hour. This is meant to be used to keep slippery enemies from escaping, but there’s nothing preventing you from using it for extra protection against spellcasters.

You can also use Enervation to weaken people. This doesn’t quite have the 100% vampirism we’re doing for, but any excuse to weaken an enemy is a good one.

9. Another fast one. Your Resolve makes you a master at will saves, and your successes are always critical. All the others are flat increases- expert in Perception and Arcane Spells, master in Diplomacy.

You can use that extra spell power to create a Blood Feast. The flavor is terrifying, but it’s basically big vampirism- deal a bunch of piercing damage, gain temporary HP for a minute, and you can even deal persistent bleed damage on a crit. While this is another touch spell, you’ve got a bow.

For a more standard Euryale spell, check out Glimmer of Charm. You gain an aura for a minute- any creature ending its turn near you needs to make a will save or they’ll like you more and can’t take hostile actions against you.

10. Tenth level is another beast entirely. You get an Ability Boost in Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, and your Rapid Recharge lets you refill your spellstrike as a free action once per day.

You might use that extra action to let out a Bon Mot, distracting an enemy with a clever insult, reducing their will saves for up to a minute, or until they have a proper comeback. You’re good at needling people, and this weakens their saves against your charms. Win-win! If we’re counting you as both halves of the win. Which we should!

You also get Basic Captivator Spellcasting, letting you cast a first, second, and third level spell for free once a day. Basically it’s three more spell slots, which we desperately need. Command and Enthrall are pretty self-explanatory, but we also grab Touch of Idiocy to dumb down anyone hanging out too close to us. If they fail a wisdom save, they’re stupefied, reducing all their brain-based checks and saves. On top of that, they have to pass a check to cast any spells.

You can also put on a Cloak of Colors for protection from most attacks. Nearby creatures are dazzled by your glory, and any creature making a melee attack against you needs to make a will save or become blinded, or even stunned for a round.

For a slightly closer to FGO rendition of vampirism, Shadow Siphon eats away at magical power as a reaction, attempting to counteract a spell and make it deal half damage. Since it’s only half a counterspell, it gets a bonus to its counteract check too.

11. At eleventh level, your Doublespeak means people who don’t travel with you regularly can miss out on what you really mean. God know I have no fucking idea what you’re talking about in your interludes. Also you’re an expert in Armor and Religion.

On top of that, your studious spells are third level now. You get more, but none of them are really needed for the Euryale experience, so just keep upcasting.

Eleventh level magi get sixth level spells. True Seeing is detect magic on steroid, letting you see through any illusions nearby. We’ll also give you Flesh to Stone for shits and giggles.

12. At twelfth level you grow a Spirit Sheath, which I’m desperately trying to not make a joke about its name. It’s a secret compartment for your weapons, and it’s hard to notice, giving you a bonus to concealing items in it. It’s still possible to get owo what’s this’d, but it’s harder. You can also draw your weapon as part of the same actions you use to spellstrike.

If you need to lie about your sheath, your Slippery Secrets will make that a lot easier since it lets you make a deception check to lie to even magical effects.

Speaking of magic, Expert Captivator Spells. Same as last time, but higher level. You get Subconscious Suggestion now, another brain bender, as well as Mirror’s Misfortune. Summon Stheno to an adjacent space, creating an exact copy of you. If an enemy hits Stheno instead of you, they get to make a Will save, taking disadvantage on their next few attacks if they fail.

Vampiric Exsanguination is probably a little too powerful for Vampirism C, but screw it, let’s live a little. You deal negative damage to creatures in a 30’ cone, and gain temporary HP based on the creature you hurt the most.

If you prefer a little subtlety, Vibrant Pattern creates a floating pattern that lasts up toa minute, dazzling creatures inside. Additionally, creatures inside need to make a will save, or they become blinded for up to a minute.

13. Thirteenth level is another one of those “more of what you got” levels. Mastery in Arcana and your Weapons, plus your Studious Spells are fourth level now, and you can pick Freedom of Movement as well. You ever try holding onto a child? It’s impossible.

Contingency is neat if you need to slip on some magic in a pinch, though using two slots for one spell is a high price to pay when that’s half your best slots gone in one go.

Also, your Entrancing Eyes can force a will save on creatures, stupefying and fascinating them if they fail a will save.

14. If you’ve spent time this turn casting spells, you can turn that magic into an Arcane Shroud, giving you an Arcane Cascade as well as a free copy of a spell based on the school of the spell you just cast.

You also get Assurance in Deception, so you can ignore any positives and negatives affecting the roll and just take a 10 plus your proficiency bonus. It’s cost-effective magic.

Speaking of effective magic, your Effortless Captivation lets you sustain illusion and enchantment spells as a free action, so now you really can mix fighting and casting without missing a beat.

Your Prismatic Armor protects you from every elemental option at once, and can even blind attackers instead of dazzling them. Again, we’re mostly here for the resistances but it’s free blinding, who doesn’t love free blinding?

Your charm magic gets powerful enough to Warp Minds, forcing a will save on a target creature- without the option of using counterspells, might I add. Depending on how badly they roll, they could be confused for an action, a minute, or forever.

15. At level 15 you get an Ability Boost in all your soft stats and constitution. You’re also a Juggernaut now, making you a master of fortitude saves, and your successful saves are always critical. You don’t look the part, but when in doubt blame Goddess Core.

You’re also an expert in Stealth and know Greater Weapon Specialization. It’s more damage.

For something new, you can now make utterly Shameless Requests of others, reducing the DC needed to succeed on outrageous requests, and preventing a loss of standing if you critically fail.

This is where we start reaching the awkward point of spellcasting. To be honest, we simply don’t need the highest level spells to emulate Euryale, so feel free to take what you want. Though Scintillating Pattern is still a good option. Again, it makes an illusionary area, confusing or stunning creatures inside.

16. At sixteenth level you can make a Hasted Assault as a focus spell, giving you an extra action each turn that must be used to strike for a minute.

Off the battlefield, you’re a Confabulator, making it a bit easier for you to cover for lies that didn’t go the way you planned.

You can also Command Attention as an action, giving nearby creatures stronger saves against visual effects (because they’re too busy looking at you) and giving anyone using visual attacks a hard time if they try to target someone else (because they’re looking at you). Being the center of attention isn’t easy, but it’s your destiny.

17. At seventeenth level you become a Master Spellcaster, making all your charms harder to resist. You also become a master with your Armor, and an expert in Occultism as well.

We also get ninth level spells, and there are a few I want, actually. Last ones though, promise. Bilocation lets you summon Stheno properly, giving you a second body to move around in. They share the same HP pool, and you don’t get any extra actions, but they can move at the same time, and when the spell ends or is dismissed, you can pick which body sticks around. It also only lasts 10 minutes, but that’s ten minutes of Shining-tier twin time, baby!

You can also use Divinity Leech to eat away at the godliness of a divine spellcaster. Every time they try to cast a divine spell, you gain HP, and have a chance to destroy or weaken the spell in the process. This is the closest we can get to FGO’s vampirism, though sadly this doesn’t give you more spell slots.

18. At eighteenth level you can perform a Cascade Countermeasure once you’re in an Arcane Cascade, giving you resistance 5 against spells. Goddess core and all that, you get it by now.

You can also shadow Mark using a Shadow Mark, making it harder for people to notice you following them. You snuck into Chaldea at some point around the second singularity and we never noticed you since. Very sneaky!

Finally, once per day you can make your target Look Again to recast an innate enchantment or illusion spell. You have to call your shot, but it makes risky moves slightly less risky. It’s worth noting this doesn’t work with Spellstrike.

19. Speaking of spellstrikes, at nineteenth level you can make a Double Spellstrike- when you cast a spell with spellstrike, the next time you use it in the next minute you can spellstrike again with the same spell, no slot required.

You can also make A Home in Every Port thanks to being humanity’s perfect idol. Spend 8 hours, and you’ll find someone willing to put up with you and your friends for a full day at no cost. To help you along, you’re now legendary in Diplomacy.

20. Our final level nets you a Supreme Spellstrike, giving you a permanent extra action that must be used to attack or spellstrike. The flavor text says you make it look effortless, which makes sense since again, god.

For your final mind trick, your Legendary Negotiation lets you make an impression even on people you’re actively fighting. It’s not exactly mindbending magic, but it’s pretty close.

Finally, since we ran out of stuff to give you from the other archetypes, you might as well get the Archer Dedication to separate you from Stheno. It gives you your Critical Specialization with bows and arrows- if you score a crit, the enemy gets posted into a nearby wall by the arrow, taking an action to break free.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Thanks to your spellstrikes, all your spells have enhanced range, hitting up to 60’ away no problem. Turning your head into a giant mouth and eating people who get to close is scary. Doing all that from across the room is terrifying. Also, since you’re attacking and casting at the same time, you’ve got more flexibility when it comes to the moment-to-moment combat.

High level enemies probably have strong debuff resist, but you’ve got a ton of debuffs to work with, so odds are at least one of them can get through. Worst case scenario, you just go with the greatest debuff of all- death!

You have good AC, you can fly, you can heal yourself, and you don’t have to get into melee range to fight effectively. All this means you are a terror to take down. And that’s before we get into the twin shenanigans you can pull off.

Cons:

You have six slots from being a magus and six from being a captivator. While you do have some focus spells to help out too, that’s not a lot of casting to get you through a full day. While you can bend reality to your whims, you’ll have to pace yourself.

Ranged attacks and casting spells are both things that can be interrupted by melee fighters. We haven’t gotten to Asterios yet, so for now anyone who can keep up with you will be a big hassle. And keeping up with you is easy when you can fly, since your stubby little legs don’t move too fast.

Your limited spell slots require you to plan ahead, preparing your magus slots down to the exact spell each will cast. Even with doubled spellstrikes, that means you have no flexibility after you’ve made your choice for the day. Who would have thought an intelligence caster would require a big brain to play?

One Spyro Level a Month Until the Next Spyro Game Releases - July 2024 - Dry Canyon

Intro/Rules

Previous Level

Next Level

It's too hot. Oh, we're talking about Spyro? It's also too hot. Hot and muggy where I am, but hot and dry where Spyro is. TBH if I hadn't already decided to go to Dry Canyon, I'd probably have headed to Icy Cavern since seeing cold locations actually does help.

Anyway.

Entrance

Welcome to Dry Canyon! We have to look up to see the lovely arch architecture (seriously I don't think I've actually seen this angle before) and we can see an enemy in the distance.

Oof, blur. These enemies have a ranged attack, shooting a cannonball at us after a few seconds. The cannonball can be Charged to no damage for Spyro.

Every enemy in this level can be Flamed, including these! But if they have their shield up, then Charging (or waiting) is our only option. They're basically the guys from Dark Hollow but with a better offensive weapon.

Thief Chase

Looking very carefully around the corner, we see a secret area! This includes some enemies, some treasure, and a thief carrying a dragon egg. Better get that egg!

Conan

Back onto the main path, we spot a dragon - Conan! He doesn't have anything interesting to say: just "Thank you for releasing me!" in I believe the exact same voice clip as Thor.

The Other Enemies

Right after Conan are examples of the other two enemies in the level! On that empty perch, not pictured, are birds that will go after Spyro after a couple of seconds. I have no pictures of them because they attacked while I was getting the camera ready. Every single time. Even if I thought I was out of their range, I wasn't. Luckily they're easy to take care of - either a Flame or a Charge will do. You just have to notice them coming.

The big guys are basically exactly the same as the big guys in Dark Hollow, just with a different weapon. I don't really think a bird is an upgrade from a club, but you go, guy!

Boris

Continuing to head along the main route, we spot another dragon off to the side. This is Boris! He tells us that Dry Canyon rewards good gliders. Huh. Haven't needed any gliding so far.

???

We reach the end of the level and. . . how do we get over there, I wonder?

Alternate Path

Well, past Conan was a split path. Let's take the upper one!

This leads us down a tunnel, Peace Keeper style and into an entirely new area.

Ivor

Inside the fortress on the other side is an elder dragon named Ivor. Nice to know that Peace Keepers can at least sometimes have a long lifespan! They must be pretty good at keeping the peace.

Ivor again hints at Spyro being destined for something great. "Ever since you were a wee puff of smoke, we've known. . ." But unfortunately he forgot what they knew.

Fun fact: there is absolutely nothing in this corner (other than the cactus), and it bothers me every time.

This area is also the first appearance of fireworks chests, I think! Charge them and you get hurt - you have to Flame them and back away to collect the treasure safely.

But all that, we get to the end of the area and we don't get to the dragon. In fact, you find a locked chest you can't open. Try gliding from the area it takes you to in the main level and you're nowhere near where you need to be. But where could it be?

Boris Wasn't Kidding

Head back to Boris and there's another secret area. A little entryway with some enemies and treasure beyond!

It ends in a dead end with some interestingly-placed gems.

Maximos

Glide around the mountain where the gems are leading and you'll easily get to the canyon wall with Maximos. He congratulates you on your gliding skills and comments on how tasty vultures are.

Returning to the locked chest, we get the last few gems. Level complete! We are now at 20% - a whole 5% more than last time! And I thought 3% was a lot last month.

Lore Talk

Dry Canyon seems to be a defensive stronghold. All of the dragons aside from the elder are positioned so that at least one of them can see every part of the level.

Except the area past the tunnel where the elder is. There's just him and he's inside. That area is up against a cliff, and since they don't seem to care to defend it from that angle, it probably means their enemies can't fly. So the Peace Keepers aren't policing inter-world dragon conflicts, but an army against non-dragon foes.

The question is: what are they defending? Maybe it's just treasure? Or maybe weapons, like the Gnorcs have in this level. I think it might be treasure, though, given that the best sources of treasure in this level are in that area the elder is in, which is the most difficult place to get if you don't have wings.

Also: monthly reminder that Peace Keeper dragons have fur and spots. They are leopard dragons.

Next Stop

Might as well keep in order. Next time we'll be heading to Cliff Town.

Concurrent Spyro Events

No news that I know of this month.

NFWMB | cmj.

NFWMB | spicy headcanons

Pairing: choi mujin x female reader

Request: what would sex be like with choi mujin?

Genre: smut headcanons, nc-17!

Word Count: 1.5k lmao

Warnings: lots of filth (because why not???), explicit sex, dirty talk, unprotected sex, aggressive sex, slight impreg kink, foul language, sentence fragments + my scattered train of thought lmao, etc. DO NOT READ AND DO NOT INTERACT IF UNDERAGE.

Recommended Listening: Track 1, Track 2

Author’s Note: ty for the request, anon! this was a nice lil exercise to get into the right headspace to come back to writing heh. please enjoy!

If I was born as a blackthorn tree I’d wanna be felled by you, held by you Fuel the pyre of your enemies Nothing fucks with my baby Nothing, nothing, nothing

Mujin doesn’t let just anyone into his bed. He’s extremely picky about partners. He knows what’s at stake, he knows what he has to lose. Dongcheon has always come before anything and everything else.

And so when he eventually (jfc) chooses a partner, you can bet that it’s going to be a long-term, exclusive arrangement.

Here are the facts: Choi Mujin does not share. Choi Mujin calls the shots. And, lastly, Choi Mujin does not half ass anything. If he’s going to fuck you, he’s going to fuck you.

Once he sets his sights on you, he knows he has to have you. It’s weeks in the making. His team is intent on gathering as much intel as possible. It kind of ruins the mood for him tbh but he knows the organization comes first. He could never let anything dangerous potentially enter their midst.

But once you two have passed all the hoops and obstacles, you are together. Just a man and a woman.

Finally.

Choi Mujin always burns hot, this uncontrollable fire of a man, but he is nothing if not patient.

He will take his time with you, especially in the beginning. He will pick you apart, piece by piece, until you fall apart -- and then will painstakingly put you back together again with the same attentiveness too. He will want to know every freckle, every birth mark. Will memorize the spots that make you keen and shudder.

(This initial process may take days, maybe weeks. He will seem almost possessed, in the moment, intent only on learning every single inch of you. He denies himself sex and simple pleasures so often. He has a lot of pent up energy and lost time to make up for lol. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat when he tells you to. You’ll need the energy to keep up with him tbh.)

You’ll learn quickly that oral sex is an artform with him. He will lay you out on his bed, on his desk, on his couch, on his bar. Will have you sprawled out, legs over his shoulders, back arching off of the floor of his hotel executive office suite. Will eat you out anywhere and everywhere. If he’s craving it (and lbr, when is he not?) and your legs are parting, willing, he will take you and eat you out like a man starved.

Maybe you’ve had bad experiences with oral sex before. Maybe your lovers haven’t enjoyed it nearly as much in the past. Whatever the case, Choi Mujin will destroy every single preconception or insecurity you may have had around it. Pussy is a delicacy. There’s no place better than having his face pressed between your legs, nose pressed into you, breathing you in. Mouth sucking noisily at your clit. Jaw dripping wet and your thighs burning from his stubble dragging along the soft skin there.

The noisiest pussy eater ever tbh.

Likes when it’s messy, likes when it’s wet. Likes coming away from between your legs with his entire mouth and face dripping with your want all over his chin and jaw. Shows him just how much you wanted this -- wanted him. He lives for this shit.

Overstimulation to the max. Will drag out orgasm after orgasm just with his mouth and fingers alone. Probably hasn’t even taken off his dress shirt yet, when you’re already shivering and shuddering and twitching on his floor.

Expect lots of dirty talk. He’s not one for degradation though. He isn’t here to call you a bitch or a slut. No, no, no. That’s all wrong. You’re the one he chose, the one he wanted, the one he craved. He’s going to treat you like a princess. He’s going to treat you like his queen.

Fuck, baby, you’re beautiful. Look at you. Perfect. Gorgeous. Look at the mess you’ve made. Such a messy, messy girl. Do you want my cock? Tell me you want it. Tell me exactly what you want. I’ll give you everything you need.

The size difference is extreme. He’s a big man. Big hands, big feet, big chest, big cock. And even if not for the sheer size of his person, his energy is even bigger. It wouldn’t matter if you were a foot taller than him, he has a remarkable talent for making everyone standing in front of him feel unfathomably small.

(Side note: His cock isn’t some monster porn cock lmao. Maybe slightly longer than the average man. But it is t h i c k. Wide and thick and heavy in a way that you probably aren’t used to. Good luck.)

It’s interesting to see him unravel during sex. He remains firmly in control for the first few sessions, I think. Is still testing the boundaries. Still seeing how far he can push you, how much you’ll take, how much you want him. Is gentle when he first slides into you, knows he may be too big. Presses his fingers into your mouth so that you have something to cry into and comforts you in a low, quiet murmur.

Is soft, that first round. Slow. Thrusts are unhurried, almost lazy. Lets you feel him, inch for inch, until you can adjust to his girth. Takes his time fucking you until you think you may become wild for it, fully adjusted and slick and desperate, your own hips lifting up off the bed to meet his. Tell me what you need, baby. Be a good girl and tell me what you want.

After that, all bets are off the table. I hope you have your seat belt on.

Mujin is animalistic during sex. Once he’s fully comfortable with you (and you with him), he will fuck you like a man deranged.

Loves wild, desperate sex, your fingers clawing down his back and his hand pressed to your throat. Loves when you buck against him, desperate for his cock, all inhibitions gone and thrown away. That’s it, sweetheart. Take what you want. Let me give you what you need. Expect tons of growling and tightly gripped hands and wet, sweat-drenched skin. Will plow into you like there’s no tomorrow.

Will also mark the shit out of you. His teeth and mouth will be everywhere. There won’t be a piece of clothing out in the world that can hide just how much he’s marked up your neck and back and thighs. Is extremely possessive. Needs to know that the world will know you belong to him. Needs you to know that you belong to him.

Honestly, a few sessions in, when he’s barely lucid and already completely safe and comfortable with you, his dirty talk will probably get even filthier. Want me to fill you up, sweetheart? Want my come all over you, inside you. You belong to me, baby. Honey. Let me fill you up. Fuck this cunt. Fuck this pussy. My pussy. My good girl.

Is almost always barebacking, I think. Especially once you two have that kind of established relationship. There’s just something so animalistic and satisfying, for him, to be able to cum inside of you. To watch it dribble out of you after. To know that you will walk around in the world, on the streets, past strangers -- all these men and women -- who will not know that he is leaking out of you.

Or maybe they will? Maybe they’ll be able to smell him on you? Maybe his scent, all wood and leather and cigarettes and sex, will be so deeply embedded into you by the time he’s had his fill.

It’s shit like that that gets him off most tbh.

Oh god I’m already past 1k LMAO let’s wrap this up... THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIMPLE EXERCISE CALLA WYD

Okay but after everything is said and done, he will hold you and let you curl into him. Will smile when you fold yourself to fit against him, your flushed, red face pressed thankfully into the expanse of his sweaty chest. Enjoys when you let him care for you like this. He is as protective as he is possessive. Let him protect you, let him hold you.

You will be sore all over and Mujin’s chest will be heaving from the effort. Who knows how long you two have been at it? How many days has it been? How many times did he feed you by hand, when you were too dazed and barely lucid to feed yourself?

He will press a glass of water to your mouth. Will swipe your sweaty hair away from your face. Kiss your temple. Probably draw you a bath.

...And bide his time until he can do this all over again. And again, and again, and again...

So... what would sex be like with Mujin, you asked, anon??? Expect to be destroyed. He will ruin you, in the very best way possible.

see you around- j.jh

Inspired by @writing-prompt-s: You're immortal and have passed the 'hero' phase centuries ago. You enter a small corner shop one day to find it is owned by your millennia-old arch-nemesis. You really, really need milk though.

I tweaked the prompt a little bit :)

Summary: You were once part of the world’s most renowned superhero organization, NCTsuper. Now centuries later, you’re still alive and you don’t know where anyone else is or if they are immortal like you too. The last person you expected to see after all these centuries was a member of NCTSuper, nonetheless your biggest rival within the organization. You really don’t want to talk to him, but you really need that milk.

Genre: enemies to lovers except it's more like one-sided enemies at this point, fluff, angst, attempts at comedy, set in the future, slight fantasy aspect

Warnings: mention of weapons, y/n and jaehyun can be kind of annoying at times, one fight scene with bullets, implied death of three minor characters, and bad grammar? grammarly and my brain can only help me so much T^T. mentions of suggestive activities but no actual suggestive activities,i’m bad at coming up with superhero names (let me know if i missed any)

Pairing: jaehyun x reader(gender not specified).

Other idols: taeyong, mark, doyoung, seulgi, and yuta are mentioned like very briefly! Not paired with y/n just like other characters

Word Count: 6,995

A/N: Hey the long awaited fic is here lol. tbh idk what i’m doing so i apologize in advance if this is bad hehe. hope you enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I am in no way claiming this is how these celebrities mentioned in my story behave in real life. This story is all fiction.

This is also my original work minus the prompt so please don’t copy or repost (reblogging is fine<3 )

“Yo! Y/N! We ran out of milk!” Your roommate shouted from the kitchen. Your eyes drifted from your computer screen to the door of your room. You paused your drama and walked to the kitchen.

“Why does it matter? We are lactose intolerant anyway,” You sighed as you scanned the fridge for the carton of milk you bought three days ago.

“Yeah I know but I want to bake these cookies for Mark! And the recipe I’m using calls for milk!”

“Oh my god, Veronica,” you surveyed the mess of baking ingredients on the kitchen island. “Why didn’t you check for all the ingredients before you started making the cookies?”

“I know, I know I know! I’m sorry, but can you please go and buy some milk? Pretty pretty, please? You can have 2 of the cookies I bake?” Veronica begged with her best puppy dog eyes.

“Three cookies or no deal,” you bargained as you walked towards your room.

“Okay fine!” Veronica agreed.

“You are lucky that I was planning to go outside anyway,” you called back.

“Omg, thank you so much! Love ya!”

You tucked your phone into your pocket and grabbed your wallet and keys from the stand.

“Can you also buy some gummies?” Veronica asked

“No,” you replied as you shut the door.

Ugh, I can’t believe that decades ago I used to be part of the world’s most renowned superhero organization. Now, I’m helping my roommate run errands. Times really do change.

Here’s the thing, you are immortal or that’s the only conclusion you can draw. Strange right? It’s too confusing to explain, so you refrain from telling people. All you know is that as time passes your loved ones pass along with it, yet you still remain and never age. Being immortal does have some perks to it: you don’t have to worry about running out of time and getting gray hairs. You can also live to see all of humanity’s amazing achievements from sliced bread to smartphones and the more recent flying cars.

Your time under NCTsuper was one you’ll never forget. You were on a task force with people from all over the world. There was a division of NCTsuper all around the world: Korea, China, Japan, Thailand, Canada, United States just to name a few. Together you helped fight crime in your respective cities. Your superhero name was Butterfly, due to the butterfly tattoo on your wrist that you derived your powers from. It used to glow, but after you lost your powers it was like any other tattoo. Eventually, the world stopped accepting superheroes, and NCTsuper died out. You were never able to maintain contact with any of the members.

You exited your apartment and walked downtown. You heard of this new store opening within walking distance of your apartment. This is great because even though you are immortal and have all the time in the world, you still have zero clue how to drive a car. Luckily for you, Veronica can drive. But now that there is a store close to you, you don’t need to hail a cab or wait for the bus to get your groceries.

You stood in front of the store. It was much smaller than you expected it to be. You opened the door and felt the cool breeze from the air conditioning hit your bare arms. You shivered a bit as you entered the store and picked up a basket. You walked to the milk section and picked out a carton of milk. You walked around the store and bought a couple of other groceries. You walked into the candy section and picked up a bag of gummy bears. You started to feel the weight of the basket on your arms and decided that it was time to pay. You walked up to the cash register and made eye contact with the cashier.

“You have got to be kidding me,” you huffed.

“Y/N?” he stared at you with equal shock.

“I told you not to call me by my real name, Lightning.”

“Sorry my bad Rollerblades,” he smiled at you with the smile you wished you would never have to see again.

“Oh my god, that was one time-how do you still remember i-” you gritted your teeth.

“Of course, I remember the one time you put on the wrong shoes and ended up wearing rollerblades. Then, you crashed into the formula we were going to protect and burned yourself in the process! How could I forget!” he laughed, his dimples showing.

“It's been centuries, and you still can’t drop that nickname?” you rolled your eyes as you loaded your groceries onto the conveyor belt.

He chuckled, “It was hilarious seeing you get yelled at by Doyoung. Plus, it still has a nice ring to it.”

“Why can’t you just call me by my hero name? It’s there for a reason.”

“You are my favorite rival, I can’t just call you by your hero name, that's so dull.”

“Oh wow, you’re ranking your rivals now?” You scoffed.

“You know you are my number one!” he blew a kiss in your direction.

“Oh my god,” you rolled your eyes “What are you doing here? How-How are you still alive?”

“I could ask the same to you.” He laughed as he scanned your items.

“Just. Answer. The. Damn. Question.” you said through gritted teeth as you grabbed your card from your wallet.

“Still as feisty as ever I see. But to answer your question, I own this shop. I moved here last week. As to why I’m still alive? Uhhh I didn’t die?”

“Hahaha so funny, I’m sooo glad you kept your humor throughout these years,” you remarked.

He laughed, “So what about you, what are you doing here? And ‘why are you still alive?’”

“I live here, and I don’t know why I’m still alive. I guess it’s the same answer as yours ‘I didn’t die.’ I guess I’m immortal or whatever.” you answered as you scanned your card.

“That makes two of us,” he smiled at you.

Why is he always smiling? When you used to be under the same organization, you were both rivals. You don’t know quite how it started. All you remember is that the two of you always clashed heads. Ever since you first met him when he transferred from Korea to the United States branch. He always tried to one-up and teased you any chance he got. Due to this, you guys have this mutual rivalry and hatred towards one another.

“That’ll be ninety dollars,” He said as you snapped out of your thoughts.

“Oh wow, not only did you try to sabotage my mission by popping my tires, but you also overprice your goods,” you scoffed.

“Hey, a man’s gotta make a living,” he held his hands up in defense. You rolled your eyes and loaded up your groceries. You threw the bags over your shoulders and pushed open the door.

“I hope to run into you again Y/N,” he waved you goodbye.

“Not a chance, Jaehyun,” you called back as you left the store.

You can’t believe it. There is no way Jaehyun is still alive. How is he alive? Does that mean other people from NCTsuper are still around? Does Jaehyun still have his powers? How come you are still alive? Does that mean all the villains you fought are also alive? These thoughts and many others race your mind as you opened the door to your apartment.

“Omg, you are back!” Veronica exclaimed. You handed the milk to her in a daze.

“Omg than-” You shoved the packet of gummy bears into her hands. “Oh my gosh, I thought you weren’t going to buy them! Thank you so much!” Veronica’s smile widened.

You don’t hear Veronica as you mindlessly walked to your room. You sat down on your floor without changing into your pajamas. There is no way that was Jaehyun. You leaned your head on your bed. “Agh, I have to be going insane.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You didn’t see Jaehyun for the next three weeks and managed to convince yourself that the whole experience was a fever dream. Even though you did eat three of the cookies Veronica made with the milk you brought. After that interaction, your life stayed pretty much the same. You woke up, went to work, ate, slept, and repeated.

One day, your boss let you and your colleagues leave work early in the afternoon. Due to the fact that the company you worked for was going under some renovations. You missed your daily morning coffee since you were in a rush. You decided to stop by the cafe on the next block for your much-needed caffeine. You weren’t paying attention as you opened the door to the cafe and collided with someone’s chest. A string of apologies fell out of your mouth as you tried to squeeze past the person you bumped into. You soon realized that they weren’t moving. You decided to look up and see who it was.

Wrong move.

“I knew that I would run into you again, Y/N. Although, I did not expect it to be literally,” Jaehyun chuckled.

“Oh my god, not you again,” You groaned as you tried to squeeze past the gap between Jaehyun’s arm and the door frame. But unfortunately, he caught you.

You quickly detached yourself from him, “what do you want Jaehyun?”

“Hmmm, money, world peace, unlimited pieces of vinyl, free coffee for the rest of my life, one of those flying cars! Oh, and you,” Jaehyun jokingly winked.

“Oh my god-”

“Is that the only phrase you know? You have said that twice already,” Jaehyun chuckled.

You rolled your eyes, “Please move. I need my coffee, and I have no patience for you today. I was convinced you were not real, but I guess I was proven wrong.”

Jaehyun would not leave you alone, so that’s how you found yourself sitting at the window seat of the cafe sipping on your coffee.

“Have you tried contacting Doyoung? Or Taeyong?” Taeyong and Doyoung were the leaders of NCTSuper. They were the ones in charge of everything: what weapons you used, who you went with, which missions you went on. You were closer to the former than the latter because Taeyong did more fighting than Doyoung did.

“I have, but I can’t find anything on them. Or NCTsuper for that matter,” Jaehyun answered as he took a sip of his ice americano.

“Hmm, that’s odd. Is it only us then?”

“Probably,” Jaehyun answered mid-bite into his pastry.

“Do you still have any of the numbers of anyone from NCTsuper?” You asked before biting into your cake.

“Yea, but like I said before, no one picks up. It could be due to how phones back then were different than the ones now.” Jaehyun answered

You nodded in agreement. “Jaehyun? Do you still have your powers?”

Jaehyun turned his head to reveal his dull lightning tattoo behind his ear, “nope. They’re all gone.”

“Same.” You showed him the tattoo on your wrist. He nodded.

A silence fell over the two of you. The only thing you could hear was the soft jazz music playing on the cafe’s speakers. As well as, the sounds of indistinct chatter from other cafe goers. You looked at the window and saw that the sky that was once a light blue is now a dark blue, almost black.

You let your thoughts ruminate and it seemed that Jaehyun was doing the same. Your eyes landed on the table next to yours. The young girl was sitting with someone who seemed like her boyfriend. She was drinking a pink liquid. That’s when it hit you.

You didn’t know it at that time but it was your second to last mission. You and Jaehyun were paired together.

“Doyoung! Why do I have to be paired with Jaehyun? You know we don’t get along. You should have paired him with Seulgi. They have similar powers and they get along. I don’t like Jaehyun and we clash all the time. I can’t work well with him.” You huffed into your mic.

“I can hear you,” Jaehyun complained.

“We went over this! Only you and Jaehyun can deliver this potion. If Seulgi and Jaehyun went together and they needed to use their powers it would impact the potion negatively. Just bare with each other.” Doyoung sighed into both of your earpieces.

“Fine,” you relented. Jaehyun parked the car in the back of the alley. You guys got out. The minute you set foot on the pavement the hairs on the back of your neck stood up. Something felt off, but you weren’t sure what. It was in the early hours of the morning, and it was hard to make out your surroundings. The only light you guys had was the moonlight. You walked behind Jaehyun as he led the two of you into the warehouse. The mission was to meet up with Exoplanet, another superhero organization, and bring the potion to them. The potion was two vials filled with a pink odorless liquid. Doyoung told you guys that this potion belonged to the Moonlights, a villain organization, who were going to use the potion to go through with their plan. To this day you still have no clue what the Moonlights’ plan was. You stuck close to Jaehyun as you entered the warehouse. The feeling that something was off was pooling in your stomach; you tightened your hold on your gun. After all, your powers could only help you so much.

“Lighting and Butterfly,” A voice sounded behind you.

You and Jaehyun turned around and were face to face with three of the members of Exoplanet.

“You have the vials right?”

You and Jaehyun nodded; the both of you reached into your jackets for the vials. The feeling in your gut only increased. You were about to hand the vials over when something moved in the corner of your eyes.

“Jaehyun duck,” you whispered.

“What? Why should I duck?” he answered.

“Just do it, something’s up,” you whispered back.

“You’re overthinking, don’t worry about it,” Jaehyun dismissed.

You saw something flash in the corner of your vision, “JAEHYUN DUCK NOW!” before he could retort you pulled him down by his arm, just as a bullet flew past your heads. It would have hit Jaehyun square in the head if he was still standing. You tuck the vial back into your jacket and drag Jaehyun to a place to hide.

“What is going on?” Jaehyun breathed.

“I don’t know, ask Doyoung!” you gritted your teeth.

“Doyoung? What's going on?” Jaehyun growled into his earpiece.

“Doyoung...Doyoung…” you tapped on your earpiece. No response.

Another bullet flew over your heads, you crouched lower and took your gun out.

“There’s no time to wait for Doyoung, turn your earpiece on so Doyoung can hear what we hear!” Jaehyun ordered. You nodded and looked up and saw that the members of Exoplanet were nowhere to be found. You looked around some more and saw that the three members of Exoplanet were lying on the ground unmoving with bullet wounds. “Jaehyun look,” you gestured to where the members of Exoplanet were. Jaehyun’s eyes widened. The two of you slowly emerged from your hiding space.

“Can you guys hear me?” Doyoung spoke into your earpieces.

“Yes,” you responded.

“It seems that Moonlight learned about Exoplanets' attempt to get the potions. You need to get out of there now.” Doyoung informed.

“Well, what do you think we’re trying to do,” Jaehyun rolled his eyes.

You were about to say something when three people emerged from behind you. Before they could do anything, you used your powers to remove the weapons from their bodies.

Everything happened in a flash, people were emerging from everywhere. You and Jaehyun were only two people. Your power was only able to take care of three people at a time. Jaehyun’s power too but you were way too outnumbered.

The both of you were surrounded. “Drink it!” Doyoung’s voice broke in through your earpieces

“What?” You asked while kicking someone’s stomach.

“Just drink it!” Doyoung ordered.

You and Jaehyun made eye contact.

“Why? We don’t know what’s in it!” Jaehyun exclaimed while blocking someone with the butt of his gun.

“Dr-...Drink i...Drink it…” Doyoung’s voice through the earpiece was breaking out. You both heard loud feedback and the line was dead.

“Agh...Doyoung? Doyoung? There’s no response!” You screamed at Jaehyun who was on the other side of the warehouse.

“Just drink it!” Jaehyun shouted back while you saw him already open the vial. He was able to create a shield around him so no one could take his vial.

You followed suit. You managed to push everyone around you away which gave you enough time to time drink the potion.

Everything after that was a blur. Before you knew it, you and Jaehyun were back at headquarters. Your head felt light and heavy at the same time when you opened your eyes.

Jaehyun’s eyes followed your gaze toward the next table's pink liquid. “Jaehyun! Is it because we drank the that pink liquid meant for Exoplanet?!” You exclaimed.

Jaehyun’s eyes widened in realization, “are you saying that pink liquid is what made us immortal?”

“I’m guessing that’s why? Unless you can think of anything else?”

“No. No, what you said makes sense.”

You stared at each other in silence.

“I guess that means everyone else is gone.” Jaehyun breathed.

“Oh my god..” your eyes glossed over with tears.

“You can cry it’s okay, I’ll shield you if you don’t want people seeing,” Jaehyun offered.

You looked at Jaehyun and saw a sad expression that mirrored yours.

You didn’t realize you were crying until you heard splashes coming from your coffee. You wiped your tears away. Jaehyun reached over the table and handed you some napkins. “It’s okay… I’m okay… thanks.” You took the tissues from Jaehyun’s hand. “I have thought about it before that I was the only one left, but it’s…”

“Different now that we have a potential reason,” Jaehyun finished.

“Yea,” you sniffled. “But I am glad… that you are still here… it would be extremely lonely if I was the only one left. At least, now I know that there is someone else who has been through what I have.”

Jaehyun smiled, “I’m glad too.”

You called a taxi home that night. You won’t lie; You felt a weight lifted off your shoulders. You now have the closest thing to an idea of why you were still around. You spent the rest of the night mourning for your lost friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You felt the sunlight on your eyes before you heard the blare of your alarm. You hit snooze and crawled out of bed. You had a pounding headache from crying all night. You slowly crawled out of bed and stumbled into the kitchen.

“Morning!” Veronica greeted, “Is everything alright? You came home crying last night.”

You looked up and saw the concern in Veronica’s eyes.

“No, yeah, I’m fine… ha ha… it’s nothing. just a...rough day at work...but I’m...uh good now,”

“Okay, well…” Veronica still looked unsure before continuing, “Mark and I are going on a date tonight so just cook for yourself.”

You hummed in acknowledgment as you cooked yourself some eggs, “Have fun on your date!”

“I will,” Veronica called back as she left for work.

You heaved a sigh, “what do I do now?”

At that moment, your phone dinged with a notification. You turned your head and saw an unknown phone number on your screen.

+1-214-097-1270: Hey Rollerblades

You: jaehyun?

+1-214-097-1270: You know I can see the read receipts right?

+1-214-097-1270: Hello?

You put your phone face down on your nightstand and collapsed onto the bed. You were not in a mood to deal with anything. Everything felt so surreal. The new information you found out last night still didn't feel right, but it’s the only reason you have. If you and Jaehyun are the last people of NCTSuper around and the only people who are “immortal”, it would be smart to get along. Right? You decided to sleep on that train of thought. Hopefully, more sleep will chase the pounding headache away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two weeks have passed. You have finally been able to come to terms with the fact that you and Jaehyun are the only ones left of NCTSuper. You decided that you might as well take Jaehyun up on his offer. If the both of you will live forever, might as well try and get along with him

You: ughhh fine.

You: i’ll take you up on your offer

You: where do you want to meet up?

The reply comes almost immediately.

+1-214-097-1270: I KNEW IT! You did not block me

+1-214-097-1270: you obviously wouldn’t

+1-214-097-1270: No one can stay away from me for long

+1-214-097-1270: That’s why back in the day, I was such a ladies’ man

You: i think i just barfed in my mouth

You: pls never ever refer to yourself as a “ladies’ man”

You: i actually take back what i said. you are too annoying

+1-214-097-1270: Okay fine my bad my bad

+1-214-097-1270: I get it your jealous

+1-214-097-1270: Not everyone can have as much game as me

You: 😑😑😑

You: yea sure... not because you flirted with anything that moved🙄

+1-214-097-1270: Rude

+1-214-097-1270: Anyways… let’s meet up at the ramen shop around the corner from my store

+1-214-097-1270: Does Friday work for you?

You: yea sure

+1-214-097-1270: Okay, see you then

You: Liked “Okay, see you then”

Friday came sooner than you expected. You and Jaehyun decided to meet at 7.

“Are you finally going on a date? It’s about time Y/N,” Veronica said as she walked into your room.

“It’s not a date Veronica,” You said while fixing your hair.

“The way you keep fixing your hair tells me otherwise,” Veronica giggled as she took a seat on your bed. “Your outfit looks great by the way.”

“Thanks and I’m just meeting up with an old…friend.”

“Okay… sure your ‘friend.’ Let’s hope he becomes your BOYfriend,”

“How did you know my old friend would be a guy?” You raised your eyebrows as you put on your earrings.

“Just best friend senses.”

“Sureeee,” You fixed your hair one last time. “Okay, I’m ready to go!”

“You look great,” Veronica smiled.

“Thanks,” you gathered your stuff and left the apartment. Your walk to the ramen shop was a quiet and relaxing one. You arrived in front of the ramen shop shortly after.

The restaurant was a cozy one. The tables were all filled, but the restaurant still managed not to feel too packed. You saw Jaehyun sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant.

“Hey,” You greeted.

“Oh Y/N! I was really thinking you weren’t going to show up,” Jaehyun chuckled.

“Hey! I wasn’t that late,” You rolled your eyes.

“Yea, I probably got here too early,” Jaehyun muttered.

“Huh?” You questioned while looking at the menu.

“Nothing,” Jaehyun said while he picked up a menu.

You spent your evening eating ramen and talking with Jaehyun. Surprisingly, Jaehyun isn’t all that annoying to be around. Though, there still was the occasional banter. You will never admit it to Jaehyun, but you had fun that night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following weeks carried on more or less the same; instead, now you had the addition of going out to eat dinner or lunch with Jaehyun. You’ve managed to start anew with Jaehyun. And to your surprise, you and he make pretty good friends.

“Are you going on yet another date with Mr. Mystery Boy?” Veronica asked.

“It’s not a date” you deadpanned. That’s what you keep telling yourself.

“I’m starting to think you spend more time with him than me! Your roommate!” Veronica dramatically collapsed on your bed.

“What are you talking about? I live with you,” You rolled your eyes as you put on your earrings (the butterfly ones you went to the mall with Jaehyun to buy).

“Ugh, stop lying! I can hear you giggling at your phone every time I pass your room-”

“Who said I was laughing at what he said?” You were definitely laughing at something Jaehyun sent you. Because let’s be real, who else would text you besides Jaehyun and Veronica?

“And I can’t forget that I can hear a man’s voice coming from your room at midnight! And we both know it's not from a booty call!”

Ah yes, the midnight FaceTime calls with Jaehyun. But those are strictly platonic! You are just getting to know Jaehyun beyond the annoying and competitive coworker you had 100s of years ago. Right?

Right.

“Ugh, plus I have never even met this man before! When am I going to see him? I introduced you to Mark after a week of knowing him! You’ve known this mystery dude for like months already!” Veronica threw her arms up in the air for dramatic flair.

“Okay, yea but you liked Mark at the time. He wasn’t just your friend!” You retorted back as you fixed your hair. “I don’t like this guy.”

“Can you at least tell me his name?” Veronica asked.

“Oh yea, it’s Jaehyun. Oops, I forgot to tell you.” You laughed.

Unlike you, Jaehyun learned how to drive. He picked you up outside your apartment.

“Jae, you did not tell me where we are going tonight?” You asked as you stepped into the car.

“Well, yea it’s a surprise!” Jaehyun rolled his eyes as he turned on the music.

As the music filled the speakers your eyes widened, “No way you still listen to Chet Baker?!”

“Huh? Oh yeah, his music is still great even after all this time,” Jaehyun said as he turned the volume higher.

Jaehyun ended up taking you to an open field.

“Darn, I knew it was too good to be true. I guess today is the day you finally kill me, “ You dramatically sighed.

“I’m not going to kill you, Y/N,” Jaehyun deadpanned as he opened the trunk.

“That’s what they all say,” You called back as you exited his car. You see Jaehyun carrying a brown basket and holding a rolled-up blanket under his arm.

“I’m here to take you out on a picnic! The weather is perfect! Look, the sun is still out,” Jaehyun gestured towards the sun.

Jaehyun was right, the weather was nice. You felt the warm heat on your neck as you followed Jaehyun into the field. You watched as he set up the picnic blanket. He patted the spot next to him when he finished setting up.

“I hope you still like Mars Bars,” Jaehyun said as he started to unload the basket. There were also sandwiches, fried chicken, fruit salads, french fries, ramen, brownies, and soda.

“Yea, I still love Mars Bars. I’ve been looking for them everywhere! How did you know I liked them?” You asked as you grabbed one of the Mars Bars.

“I remembered you would always eat one before our meetings,” Jaehyun said as he took a bite of the sandwich he packed.

“Oh, you noticed?” You raised your eyebrow.

“Well, yeah. I’ve always been paying attention to you Y/N,” Jaehyun smiled.

Huh? You cleared your throat and grabbed the nearest thing to eat, which was fried chicken, and took a bite.

Jaehyun let out a chuckle and continued to eat. You glared at him before finishing your chicken.

You two spent the rest of the afternoon eating and sharing stories.

“There is no way you were that dumb-”

“Hey! I was young and in love! Don’t tell me you wouldn’t serenade your lover,”

“I would serenade them, but not on a ladder! And I would definitely not fall off of it, “ you laughed.

“You may say it was dumb but she loved it so, ha!” Jaehyun stuck his tongue out.

“Yea, well I also didn’t break my arm because of it!” You jabbed your finger at his forehead.

“Ow!” Jaehyun rubbed his forehead. “In my defense, this was the 80s and I was also carrying a boombox, so my balance wasn’t the greatest!”

You laughed even harder, “Boombox? While standing on a ladder?”

“Okay, yea I know it sounds stupid now, but that is also because it’s like 2050.”

“Well, I’m glad one of us used their immortality to live an…eventful life." You took a bite of the ramen you were sharing with Jaehyun.

“Hey, if you are gonna laugh at me you do not get to eat the ramen!” Jaehyun tried to grab the ramen cup from you.

“No!” You whined while you got up and tried to move away from him. You drank some of the broth to avoid spilling it all over yourself while you ran away from Jaehyun.

Eventually, Jaehyun caught up to you. He wrapped his arm around your waist and in your brief moment of shock, he managed to pry the ramen away from your hands.

“Hey, give me my ramen back!” You screamed while running after him.

You spent the rest of the afternoon under the bright sun eating all the goods that Jaehyun brought.

“Hey, it’s getting dark. We should head home,” Jaehyun said as he packed up the picnic blanket.

You got up and watched Jaehyun as he packed everything up. He gave you a dimpled smile when your eyes met. You quickly looked away trying to hide your red flushed cheeks (it didn’t work. Jaehyun saw you).

“Hey Jae, thank you so much! I had so much fun today,” You said while unbuckling your seatbelt.

“Yeah, no problem. Oh before you go,” Jaehyun turned around and grabbed something from the back seat.

“Mars Bars?” Your eyes widened as he placed the entire box into your hands.

“You can take all the Mars Bars,” Jaehyun's eyes crinkled in a smile.

You couldn’t contain your joy and thanked him before heading up to your apartment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If one hundred years ago someone told you that you would be spending your birthday with Jaehyun, you would have written that person off as insane. Yet that is exactly what you are doing. You are turning God knows how old, but to your friends, you are turning 24. How exciting! With how long you have been on Earth, the idea of birthdays isn’t appealing anymore. But you still played along because everyone else seemed to love celebrating birthdays.

You are currently standing in front of your mirror picking an outfit for your small birthday dinner. The only people you invited were Veronica, Mark, and Jaehyun. You heard a knock on your door before Veronica popped her head in.

“Hey, you ready? You are 24 now! Oh my god, this is so exciting!”

“Veronica, it’s not that big of a deal,” You rolled your eyes as you adjusted the hair out of your face. “Okay, I’m ready!”

“Great, I started the car and Mark said he will meet us there,” Veronica said as she locked the door.

You climbed into her car and made your way over to the restaurant. You decided to eat at a high-end Japanese restaurant. When you arrived at your table Mark was already there.

“Happy Birthday Y/N!” He said as he leaned in for a hug.

“Thanks,” you smiled as you hugged him back. You took a seat across from Mark who sat next to Veronica.

“We are just waiting for one more person,” You announced as you started to look at the menu.

“Oh, who are we waiting for?” Mark asked as he picked up a menu.

“We are waiting for-”

“Her boyfriend!” Veronica cut you off.

You narrowed your eyes at Veronica before returning your gaze to Mark, “He’s not my boyfriend. We are just friends.”

“Haha, not dating yet!” Veronica smirked.

Before you could fire back, you felt someone slip into the chair next to you.

“Hey everyone, sorry I am late. The traffic was much worse than I expected. I am Jaehyun by the way, Y/N’s friend.” Jaehyun smiled. He exchanged greetings with the other people at the table before his gaze shifted to yours. “Happy Birthday Y/N.”

You quickly thanked him and reverted your gaze to the menu.

Surprisingly, Jaehyun got along well with Veronica and Mark. You were busy shoveling down your fifth sushi roll when you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned your head around.

“Hey, can you step outside with me for a minute? I need to give you your present,” Jaehyun whispered.

“Wait, you can give it to me now and I’ll open it at home,” You suggested.

“No, I want to see you when you open it,” Jaehyun said while standing up. You eyed him weirdly.

“I’m going to step out for a bit,” Jaehyun told your table before he got up.

You watched him as he walked towards the exit, “I’m going to step out too.”

Veronica raised her eyebrows at you and smirked.

“Oh my god, Veronica shush!” You rolled your eyes as you pushed your chair in.

“Hey, I didn’t even say anything,” Veronica laughed.

You weaved your way through the various tables and crowds until you reached the exit.

“Jaehyun, what is it?” You asked as you closed the restaurant’s entrance behind you.

“I just wanted to give you your birthday gift!” Jaehyun said as he fished a box from out his pocket.

“Jaehyun? You could have just given this to me inside,” You looked up at him as he placed the box in your hand.

“Yeah, but um… I also wanted to ask you a question.” Jaehyun shifted as he put his hands in his pockets, "but first please open your gift!”

Your fingers lifted open the delicate lid. Behind the lid sat a blue and black jeweled butterfly pendant.

“I’d thought I'd buy you a butterfly necklace to match the butterfly earrings,” Jaehyun mumbled.

“Thanks, I love it,” You smiled while you began to unclasp it.

“Wait! Let me help you put it on,” Jaehyun grabbed the necklace from your fingers.

You smiled softly while Jaehyun put the necklace on for you. You felt the breeze on your neck as Jaehyun placed the necklace around you. But the breeze was not the cause of the shiver you felt run down your spine.

“Okay! All set,” Jaehyun awkwardly clapped his hands together and stepped back.

Your cheeks flushed at the sudden contact from him but you managed out a small “thanks.”

“No problem,” Jaehyun chuckled.

“So is this all you called me out for? Because if so I kinda wanna go back inside. My sashimi platter is calling my name and I simply can not ignore it.”

“I-uh… that is not all. I have uh one more question,” Jaehyun answered as his gaze shifted to his shoes.

“Uh cool. What is it?” You tried to make eye contact with him, but he kept avoiding your stare.

“Well, um… I’ve been wanting to uhm ask you this but uhm the Yuta thing happened and I uh…” Jaehyun stuttered out.

“Spit it out bro. What is it?” You asked tapping your foot jokingly.

“I uh...I like you. I was uhm…wondering if you want to uhm date?” Jaehyun lifted his gaze to meet yours. This time it was you avoiding eye contact.

“Date?” You raised your eyebrows.

“I mean uhm… I kind of always liked you. I thought that you were very cute. I only teased you because you didn’t seem to want to talk to me uhm regularly.” Jaehyun sheepishly smiled.

“Wait. You liked me this whole time?” You asked your eyes popping out of your eye sockets.

“Uhm…yeah. Hehe,” Jaehyun’s gaze shifted from your eyes to the ground.

“I mean-”

“If you uhm want to reject me. You can just do it. You don’t uh have to feel bad,” Jaehyun muttered.

You chuckled before you responded, “I was going to say that I also thought you were cute too.”

“Huh?” Jaehyun’s head snapped up at that.

You had a big smile on your face as you said the next words, “I’d love to date you.”

“What?”

“You heard me Jaehyun. I. Would. Love. To. Date. You.”

Jaehyun took a step closer before enveloping you in a hug. He spoke into your hair with a big smile on his face, “I’m so glad. It would be so awkward having to ask for the necklace back.”

“Wait what do you mean?” You said before placing your hand over the necklace.

“Uh, the necklace was more so kind of gift for us dating. Not a gift for your birthday. So if you said no to dating then I would have to take the necklace back.”

“So what is my birthday gift?”

“Dating me!” Jaehyun said smugly.

“Oh my god, you are so annoying,” You rolled your eyes while hitting Jaehyun’s chest lightly.

“So it’s official? You are officially mine now!” Jaehyun said as he linked your hands together.

“Yep, I guess,” You smiled as you guys walked back into the restaurant together.

“Not my boyfriend, my butt!” Veronica exclaimed when you walked in and she saw your linked hands.

“Hey, he wasn’t at the time.” You said with a roll of your eyes.

“Congrats guys,” Mark said as he lifted his glass.

“Thanks, Mark,” You smiled before raising your glass in return.

You spent the rest of your night with your hands in Jaehyun’s. You and your friends talked about everything and ate the cake Veronica brought.

“Since it’s your birthday, I’ll pay for our meal,” Jaehyun said while taking out his wallet.

“Wait, you don’t need to. You guys came out for me, I can pay,” You said reaching out your hand to stop Jaehyun.

“No, I like where your boyfriend is going with this. Listen to him,” Veronica laughed.

You sighed but quietly agreed.

Jaehyun came back not too shortly after, “Okay, we are all set. Y/N, do you need a ride home?”

“Oh, I’m good. Veronica can drive me home,”

“What are you talking about? I’m not driving you home.”

“Huh? But I thought-”

“I’m going home with Mark.”

“Are you seriously ditching me on my birthday?” You groaned.

“No, I’m allowing you to spend time with your boyfriend hehe,” Veronica said while wiggling her eyebrows.

“You are unbelievable,” You laughed.

“Well, gotta go now! Happy birthday babe, be safe hehe,” Veronica waved goodbye.

“What is that supposed to mean?” You asked while Veronica laughed.

“Happy Birthday Y/N,” Mark said before following after Veronica.

“Bye, Mark,” You waved goodbye.

“Guess you are stuck with me now,” Jaehyun chuckled before relinking your hands.

“Unfortunately,” you joked before pushing open the doors.

“Hey!” Jaehyun whined as he opened the car door for you.

The music from the radio filled the car as you guys drove back to your apartment. Not before Jaehyun stopped by an ice cream shop.

“Can I get one Mars Bar Shake?” Jaehyun asked into the drive-through speaker.

“Shut up! They sell that here?!” You exclaimed.

“Of course sir, that is going to be $6.99. Pull up to the front window.” The voice spoke.

“Thank you,” Jaehyun thanked as he drove to the front window. He turned to you with a big smile. “I saw that they were selling them during this month, so I had to buy one for you.” Jaehyun took the shake from the cashier and handed it to you. “Happy Birthday Y/N!”

“Oh my gosh,” you took a sip from the drink. “Holy! This is so good! Thank you so much Jaehyun!”

“No problem." Jaehyun smiled as he pulled out of the drive-through and drove you back to your apartment.

You arrived shortly after, and you were about to get out of the car when Jaehyun stopped you. He ran around the front of the car and opened the door for you.

“Jaehyun, I have hands. I can open the door myself.” You laughed.

“Oh shush, I’m trying to be romantic,” Jaehyun said as he lead you to your front door.

“I see,” You chuckled. “Well, this is me,”

“Oh, uhm…have a good night Y/N,” Jaehyun slowly unlinked your hands, “see you around.”

You leaned in to kiss his cheek, and Jaehyun cheeks turned a light shade of pink. You giggled at how cute he was. You brushed the hair out from his eyes and met his dimpled smile. You waved goodbye to him as you entered your apartment and couldn’t wait to see that smile of his again.
