[lilyuzuiaizen]

Rut season came early

Shinya Kamihara x Fem Y/N

Word Count: 969

Shinya was DESPERATE. He could smell your scent over everything. The pillows, the bedsheets, hell, even his clothes. So as day three of you being gone hits, and he doesn’t have patrol, he decides enough is enough. Your constant updates that you miss him just as badly aren’t helping, so he crawls into the bed and grabs your blanket and places it over his nose as his hand strokes his hard and leaking cock with desperation. He’s growling so loudly he’s sure the neighbors can hear him, but he doesn’t care. He’s the number 4 PRO HERO for fucks sake. To hell what they think. He’s so lost in his desperation and desire for you to be home he doesn’t even register the sound of the door lock clicking open.

Then he sees you standing in the door. Without missing a beat he activates his quirk, slinging you over his shoulder and tossing you down to the bed in a matter of seconds. “Clothes off. Now.” You comply, his tone a demand you can’t deny, and your clothes are on the ground and he spreads your legs so wide you swear you can feel your pussy clench around the emptiness. With a intensity that borders feral, Shinya descends between your thighs and licks and sucks at your dripping cunt like a man starved. Like you’re his last meal on the planet. “Missed this pretty girl right here so much. I’m going to eat her until she’s weeping, wife. You’ll be a fucking mess by the time I’m done with you.” He murmurs against your flesh and seals his lips around your throbbing clit sucking hard on your sensitive bundle and thrusting two fingers into your dripping cunt and growling, “You already started quivering the second I stuck my fingers in you dirty little minx. You better not come until I tell you to, otherwise you won’t get my cock.” As he degrades you his fingers curl into that spot inside you, making you cry out and grip into his hair. “Shinya please!” He chuckles and thrusts his fingers harder into your now soaking pussy as he licks and sucks at your clit ravenously. “Not yet Y/N. Hold it back a little longer. Be a good girl for daddy and I promise I’ll reward you and this needy little cunt.” You whimper and whine as he denies your orgasm and your hands grip tightly into his long silver hair. The lewd sounds of him licking, sucking, and thrusting his fingers into you repeatedly fill the room along with your mewls and whimpers of pleasure. He feels your walls clamp around his fingers harder, tighter, and groans. “Cum for me baby girl. Let me taste your pleasure.” Your body bows off the bed and you let out a loud cry of pleasure as your orgasm crashes over you in wave after wave of unbridled ecstasy, flooding his mouth and dribbling down his chin, his fingers never ceasing their movement milking your pleasure until your walls are fluttering from the aftershocks.

As you try to regain your breath you feel the tip of his cock at your swollen and sensitive pussy and he chuckles. “Eyes on me wife. We’re going to count how many inches you can handle this time.” At his demand, your eyes snap to meet his and you swallow hard before noding your head yes. Shinya smirks down at you before hoisting your legs onto his shoulders and easing his cockhead into you. “I said count princess.” He growls out and looks into your eyes with his. His normally soft and kind grey eyes are blown wide with lust and animalistic desire, nearly robbing you of your breath as you shakily say, “O-One.” As you stammer out the word his hand comes down on your ass hard and he growls, “Louder. I want the neighbors to hear. Matter of fact, I want the entire apartment complex to hear. Let everyone know who owns your cunt, womb, and every delicious inch of you wife.” You obey crying out, “One.” as loudly as you can and he eases two, then three, stretching you wide and filling you. What feels like hours of torture and pleasure later you squeak out, “N-Nine. Nine!” and your head lands to the pillow and you feel your entire pussy clenching around his thick cock. Suddenly you feel him press your legs above your shoulders and he pulls out to just the tip and whispers in your ear, “Now for the fun part. Take a deep breath, because your in for a wild ride now.” With that, he surges forward and groans as the tip of his cock kisses your womb and your walls grip him so tight he can barely think. He ruts into you like a man possessed, needing to claim you, breed you. His growls and your whimpers fill the room, and you cry out, “C-Coming. Shinya. I’m, nghhhhhhh!” as you cum, Shinya roars and clamps down on your shoulder as his orgasm triggers and fills every inch of your pussy, threatening to leak out, and he collapses to your chest pressing you into the mattress. “God damn I missed you.”He whispers as he catches his breath and rolls you onto your side and pulls you into his broad and muscular chest, his softening cock still inside you, and you whisper, “Missed you more, my little ninja.” He chuckles and nuzzles into your neck and inhales deeply, “I highly doubt that, my little strategist, but I appreciate the sentiment.” He whispers and smiles. As you both relax you feel your exhaustion kick in and your eyes flutter close. As you sink into sleep, you hear him whisper, “My beautiful wife, and now, the mother of my children… God, how did I get so lucky?”

Redemption v2.18

Fingers moved with precision and grace, like a conductor orchestrating an intricate symphony. Beside the cold metallic table, Touma's attention was entranced by the dance of digits, as if they were translating melodies from another realm. In his mind's soundscape, he discerned the delicate notes of a sonata, each movement resonating with a harmonious rhythm.

Redirecting his gaze from the spectacle that lay upon the blood-smeared gray surface, Touma's focus shifted to the pale and fragile form sprawled before him. His keen eyes rested on the clenched, trembling hands of his captive creation.

"You're still alive?" Touma's voice held a peculiar blend of surprise and amusement. The sound of a latex glove snapping resonated, punctuating the heavy silence that enveloped them. Blood stained his gloved hands, a testament to his artistry in this theater. "Did you know that music possesses the power to modulate heart rate, respiration, and even blood pressure?"

“Why… are you doing this? Do you truly think… I’ll beg you to let me live? You’ll pay for your sins,” Altoromagi's words were a mere whisper, his eyes shut tight against the glaring light. He shifted his gaze towards Touma with a lethargic effort, his movements betraying his weakened state.

Touma's lips curved upward, a smile that mirrored a conductor savoring the crescendo of his symphony. Laughter, like music, flowed from his lips and reverberated within the room.

"Your words imply a connection to some higher plane," Touma's tone dripped with disdain. "Yet, the role of arbiter is not yours to claim. Where is your god now? For wherever he is, he just loves this."

Aligned with his own internal symphony, Touma's fingers sought their instrument from an adjacent metal surface. A knife blade glistened, each droplet of blood resembling a note in an intricate composition.

“Touma-kun, you’re sick. You’re mental,” Altoromagi's voice quivered.

"Existence granted solely by birthright," Touma's retort was punctuated with conviction. "However, I suspect you have now comprehended... that dominion over our world is reserved for those who assert their authority."

Altoromagi's scream tore through the air, a dissonance against the unfolding composition. His body quivered, a counterpoint to the melody that enveloped them. With a calculated yet almost reverent movement, Touma drove the knife into Altoromagi's abdomen. A gasp escaped his lips, his heart quickening as he felt the rush of warmth, the visceral presence of blood saturating his gloved fingers.

As hours passed, Yashiro found herself ensnared within a dimly lit room, an unfamiliar figure looming before her. Without a hint of hesitation, she propelled a black pen into the man's chest. His body crumpled, life extinguished, crimson blood seeping from the wound, staining her hands and garments in an indelible hue. As the room appeared to gyrate around her, an adrenaline surge propelled her back onto her feet, urging her to flee. Echoes of her steps resonated through the corridors, composing a haunting melody of escape.

Navigating the labyrinthine passages, her exit etched a visceral narrative. Blood-soaked skin and attire, relentless pursuit by shadowed figures—they all contributed to her flight. Bursting into a scene of exultant festivity, the school's celebration was a stark contrast to the turmoil engulfing her mind. Amidst the oblivious throng of students, parents, and teachers, her eyes honed in on Touma Kouzaburou. His enigmatic smile seemed to taunt her as he raised a glass in her direction. Suppressing an involuntary shiver, she pressed forward, feeling the accusatory weight of the whispering crowd—abomination, mistake.

Stepping out into the caress of the night's cool air, a surge of desperation engulfed her as the grim reality set in—the inspectors and enforcers had cornered her. Dominators were trained on her, yet remained unresponsive. Her eyes locked with Kougami Shinya's. And then, another weapon came into view—a firearm, its barrel aimed at her. The gunshot shattered the air, ringing in her ears as her vision collapsed into darkness, the ground rushing to meet her.

With a gasp, Yashiro's eyes snapped open. Dawn's gentle light filtered through the room, the lingering dread slowly receding. Her breathing was ragged, her body trembling as she grappled with the visceral aftereffects of the dream. She reached up to touch her forehead involuntarily, as if still feeling the impact of the bullet, its haunting presence lingering for a moment before dissipating.

As the residual tension from the dream gradually subsided, Yashiro found herself seated in the cozy ambiance of the Oso Academy's dining hall. Morning light filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow over the space where she shared breakfast with Kirino Touko and two of her friends. The clinking of cutlery and soft chatter filled the air as the students savored their morning meal.

Amid the easy flow of conversation, Yashiro's thoughts occasionally drifted, her mind still entangled in the tendrils of her dream. Engrossed in her own reverie, she absently stirred her coffee while Touko’s voice intermingled with the voices of her friends.

"Takahashi-san, did you hear about that new exhibit at the art museum?" Touko's question managed to puncture the haze of Yashiro's thoughts, yet the words seemed to take a moment to fully register. “Takahashi-san?”

"What?" Yashiro blinked, her attention shifting to Touko. She was met with a concerned gaze from her friend, who gently touched her arm.

"I asked if you heard about the new art exhibit," Touko repeated with a small smile.

"Sorry," Yashiro replied, her voice slightly distant. "I must have zoned out for a moment. No, I haven't heard. What's it about?"

Touko's friends exchanged amused glances before one of them chimed in, "It's a collection of modern sculptures and interactive installations. I think it's supposed to challenge conventional perceptions of art."

"Oh," Yashiro replied, offering a faint smile, her thoughts still lingering on the dream's lingering impact.

"Is everything okay?" Touko's concern was palpable as she leaned closer.

Yashiro managed to shake off her preoccupation, her smile becoming more genuine, "Yes, just lost in thought for a moment. Don't worry about me."

As the conversation continued, the gentle hum of activity was interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. Touko's phone lit up, and she quickly excused herself to take the call. Yashiro absently swirled her coffee once again, her thoughts ensnared by the impressions of her dream. The casual chatter of her friends seemed to blur into the background.

“Emi!” Touko's voice carried with an upbeat tone, her grin evident. “How's it going? Did you manage to see the dentist?”

“Hey, Touko, have you spoken to your dad recently?” Emi's voice sounded over the phone.

“I think he tried to call me earlier. Why are you asking about my dad?” Touko inquired, taking a sip of her tea.

Yashiro blinked and glanced up at Touko, her friends continuing their discussion.

“Well… there was a murder at the Ueno Zoo. I happened to stop by for a dentist appointment,” Emi's voice wavered slightly.

“And?” Touko leaned in, curiosity dancing in her eyes.

“Apparently, some guy... murdered a lawyer and placed his body in a chimpanzee enclosure. They found your dad's ID in his wallet,” Emi continued, her tone growing somber, as if holding back tears.

Touko reclined with a chuckle, “Oh, come on.”

“Try calling him right now, because I've already tried, and I can't get through,” Emi insisted.

“We've known each other forever. You'd recognize his face if you saw it. What you're saying doesn't add up. We were at Oso's anniversary event,” Touko shrugged. “It's probably just a misunderstanding. He's fine.”

“The thing is… the zoo is on lockdown. Security drones everywhere. Entrances sealed off. No one's allowed in or out. I'm telling you what I heard from some of the zoo employees. It seems to be connected to the recent string of murders, like the politician Hashida, remember?” Emi's voice trembled with a mix of disbelief and concern.

“Alright, I’ll try calling him. But if he picks up, you owe me,” Touko pulled her phone away from her ear momentarily to initiate the call.

“What's going on?” one of Touko's friends queried.

“Emi's saying my dad's dead,” Touko chuckled, waving it off. “She's just messing with me.”

Laughter echoed around the table, though Yashiro's expression remained pensive.

“You almost gave me a heart attack,” another friend chimed in.

“I'm going to try calling him anyway,” Touko sighed, lifting her phone to her ear. Moments stretched into silence, the anticipation palpable. The waiting tone continued to play, and Touko’s smile faded with each unanswered attempt. “What's he up to? Ignoring my calls again? Is he doing this on purpose?”

Touko stared at her cell phone for a beat before abruptly rising and walking away, seemingly oblivious to her friends' laughter and shifting topic.

“Wait,” Yashiro swiftly stood and quickened her pace, moving to catch up. “Kirino-san, you can't just go like that.”

“How do you even know where I'm headed? Did you see something?” Touko abruptly turned, halting Yashiro in her tracks. Yashiro remained silent. “I'm heading to the Ueno Zoo. Don't even try to stop me, or I'll make sure the principal hears that you were at the school anniversary event when you're suspended."

An hour later, the setting had shifted from the tranquil campus to the Ueno Zoo, where an air of tension replaced the usual cheerful atmosphere. The sun hung low, casting long shadows over the pathways and enclosures.

Touko made her way through the entrance, her determined steps carrying her past the anxious faces of zoo employees. The news of the gruesome discovery had spread like wildfire, casting a solemn hush over the once-vibrant grounds. Yet, Touko's gaze remained unflinching, resolutely fixed on her purpose.

Navigating the premises with a practiced ease, she artfully eluded the watchful eyes of the security drones. Her familiarity with the zoo's layout allowed her to move in the shadows, evading their prying sensors. As she approached a side entrance leading to the primate enclosures, a sharp voice cut through the air.

"Isn't she the girl we met in Ogishima?" Kougami Shinya's voice carried clearly to her ears, sparking a quickening of her heart.

Touko's attention was drawn to the source of the voice. There, not far from the entrance, stood Kougami and Sasayama, their expressions a mix of curiosity and recognition.

"Kirino Touko," Sasayama responded to Kougami's inquiry, confirming her identity.

Her mind racing, Touko's focus lingered on Kougami as he directed a sharp glance towards Sasayama.

“Did you call her?” Kougami's frown deepened. “You punk.”

“You know I wouldn’t,” Sasayama's retort was swift and forceful.

Before she could fully process their presence, Kougami's attention turned back to her. He closed the distance between them purposefully, his hands gently coming to rest on her shoulders.

"Kirino-san, how did you get here?" he inquired, concern evident in his eyes.

"I heard about what happened. Is it true, my dad?" Touko's gaze met his, her voice laden with urgency.

Kougami's expression tightened, and he shook his head, "You shouldn't be here."

“Where’s the ambulance? Are you taking him to the hospital?” she pressed for information.

"Kirino-san, listen to me," Kougami's tone was firm. "You need to go home now. We are taking care of things here.”

"Let me go," Touko's frustration flared.

In a swift motion, she pulled away from Kougami's grip, determination etched across her features as she walked past him, heading deeper into the zoo's grounds.

"Kirino-san!" Sasayama's voice echoed after her, and he reached out to grab her wrist, but she slipped away.

Without looking back, Kirino fled into the sprawling expanse of the zoo, her heart pounding with a mix of fear, determination, and the burning need to uncover the truth behind her father's fate.

Amid the hushed atmosphere, the chimpanzees had been temporarily relocated to a separate enclosure as the investigation unfolded. This precaution was taken for the safety of both the animals and the involved staff. The scene was under close scrutiny, with small, spider-like drones systematically scouring the area.

Standing near the fence of the cordoned-off enclosure, Yashiro narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on a distant figure. The man's body had suffered the grisly fate of being partially consumed, his form a gruesome testament to the events that had transpired. Strewn nearby was a blue ball, its once-bright hue now tarnished with blood. A curious thought flitted through Yashiro's mind—had the man's stomach also been used to carry something? Perhaps more than just sustenance?

A series of noises—a mixture of footsteps and the mechanical hum of drones—drew Yashiro's attention. Through the foliage on the opposite side, she caught sight of Touko's figure, her hands gripping the fence as if seeking solace. With a sudden burst of determination, Touko disengaged from the fence and made her way towards the enclosure's entrance. Yashiro's concern deepened, and she moved swiftly to intercept her.

"Kirino-san!" Her voice carried a mix of urgency and apprehension as she entered the enclosure behind Touko. "Kirino-san—"

Touko's progress was halted by a slight stumble, causing her to fall to her knees in the soft dirt. Despite the distance, her eyes fixated on a brown leather watch that lay on the ground nearby. With a delicate touch, she cleared the broken glass from the watch's face, her movements mechanical and detached. She exhaled a shuddering sigh, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. Rising unsteadily to her feet, Touko moved forward once again, but Yashiro intervened, placing herself in front of Touko. 

"Kirino-san, no," Yashiro's voice held a mix of sympathy and insistence.

In her desperation, Touko attempted to push past Yashiro, her movements tinged with a raw sense of grief. However, her strength faltered, and she stumbled backwards, falling to her knees once more. Yashiro acted swiftly, supporting Touko to prevent her from colliding with the ground. Touko's arm involuntarily came to rest on Yashiro's shoulder, her grip tight around a brown leather watch.

Yashiro wrapped her arms around Touko's back, offering a gentle embrace. She felt the tremors that coursed through Touko's body. From a distance, the hurried sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, a stark counterpoint to Touko's soft, suppressed cries.

Raising her gaze, Yashiro's eyes met the penetrating stares of two men standing outside the enclosure, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and concern. The one with short brown hair clutched the grille with his fingers. Yashiro's brows knitted in a mix of frustration and determination, her hands involuntarily forming into clenched fists.

As they exited the enclosure, an air of heightened security enveloped both the zoo and the immediate vicinity of the crime scene. Security drones maintained a vigilant presence around the perimeter. The fence was demarcated with holographic yellow tape, serving as a clear warning against any unauthorized entry.

Amidst the somber backdrop, Touko found respite on a nearby bench, her silence a reflection of the turmoil within her. A woman with sleek black hair elegantly tied in a ponytail settled beside her. Kneeling before her, a man with short brown hair clenched his fist and declared, “I’ll catch him no matter what. You have my word.”

"I'm Ginoza Nobuchika," the man's keen green eyes locked onto Yashiro's, as he displayed his holographic ID. Standing beside him was a figure of slightly smaller stature, with sleek black hair and piercing gray eyes. "And this is Kougami Shinya," he motioned to his partner. "We're inspectors from the Criminal Investigation Department. Were you aware that you were in the midst of a crime scene, and your presence could potentially compromise the integrity of the evidence?"

“Yes,” Yashiro replied, her gaze briefly shifting to the trench coat-wearing man next to Kougami, whose features were marked by short brown hair.

“This area is restricted. How did you manage to gain entry?" Ginoza's brows furrowed.

“I climbed over the wall,” Yashiro's answer was forthright and succinct.

“You climbed over the wall,” Ginoza's voice reverberated, his wrist lifting to assess her crime coefficient. The holographic numbers materialized, revealing a value of 61. His attention then shifted towards Touko. “Do you know her?”

Touko's gaze momentarily flickered towards Yashiro before retreating into her own thoughts.

“Yes,” Yashiro confirmed, her voice steady. “We rushed here as soon as we heard the rumors. I intended to prevent her from witnessing the scene.”

“Kirino-san entered the area unaccompanied,” Kougami pointed out.

"I had arrived earlier and accessed the zoo through a different route," Yashiro clarified, her voice maintaining its calm demeanor.

"You were waiting for her," the trench coat-clad man interjected.

"Yes," Yashiro acknowledged, her gaze transitioning between the trench coat-clad figure and Touko.

"What were you doing during your wait?" Ginoza's gaze held a sharp intensity as he continued his line of inquiry.

“I was watching,” Yashiro responded, her reply concise.

“You were watching?” Ginoza's frown etched deeper lines onto his forehead. “Precisely what were you watching?”

“The body,” Yashiro's reply was direct.

A subtle ripple of reaction passed through the group. Ginoza's eyebrows shot up, his intrigue intensifying. His eyes then flickered towards Yashiro's crime coefficient hologram, displaying an unexpectedly low number.

"You saw the victim's body?" Ginoza's voice held a mix of astonishment and disbelief.

“Yes,” Yashiro affirmed, her unwavering gaze meeting Ginoza's.

Both Ginoza and Kougami exchanged fleeting glances. 

"Aren't you concerned about your own psycho pass in light of witnessing such a traumatic event?" Kougami's voice penetrated the charged silence that had momentarily enveloped them.

Yashiro's gaze briefly shifted towards Touko, who still sat on the bench, her demeanor subdued. With deliberate intention, Yashiro returned her focus to Kougami, her eyes conveying a depth of consideration.

"I was concerned about hers. I was apprehensive about the potential impact on her psychological state after encountering the scene."

"We acknowledge your intentions, but entering a restricted crime scene during an ongoing investigation has serious ramifications," Kougami intervened, his voice even-keeled.

"I understand," Yashiro replied, her exterior demeanor maintaining its composure.

"Takahashi?" Sasayama approached, a cigarette dangling between his fingers. The scent wafted towards Yashiro, causing her to wrinkle her nose in subtle distaste. "It's Sasayama."

“Takahashi?” Kougami sighed, a faint smile curving his lips. “Could it be… are you Takahashi Yashiro?”

“Yes.”

Yashiro's attention sharpened as Sasayama's gaze settled upon her, the weight of his scrutiny heightened by her distinctive hair color. A faint furrowing of her brows betrayed a momentary annoyance, an emotion quickly masked. Yet, she could not entirely conceal the flicker of displeasure that danced in her eyes, a fire quickly banked.

"Brown suits you well," Sasayama commented, his tone carrying a tinge of familiarity.

“Do you have any leads on who might have done this?” Yashiro redirected the conversation, steering the focus back to the core matter at hand.

"We are still investigating,” Ginoza's response remained cautious. “Do you have any relatives we can contact on your behalf?"

Unfazed by the suggestion, Yashiro's reply was matter-of-fact, "I have uncles, but I'm not sure if they're in town. I’ve never really considered them. If you call, they might answer since you're an inspector. They wouldn't respond to me."

The exchange passed with minimal notice, save for a frown from one individual—Enforcer Masaoka Tomomi, who had his hands in his trench coat.

Sasayama's voice entered the conversation, punctuated by a puff of smoke from his cigarette, "Kirino-san mentioned a teacher from her school might be involved—Touma Kouzaburou. Kirino Abele was head of a charity organization that got him out of Ogishima. There's a personal grudge between them. She believes he's likely the last person who interacted with her father. During a school event, she witnessed them conversing. Afterward, both men seemed to vanish. Kirino stayed with friends, thinking her father left due to work commitments."

Ginoza activated a holographic interface above his wrist, "We've identified a suspect, Touma Kouzaburou. Shion, run a background check and send us his address."

"You know this guy?" Sasayama directed his question to Yashiro.

"He's a social science teacher," Yashiro replied. "He should be at the academy now."

The results of the background check were conveyed, "No criminal record. He's a teacher at Oso Academy. Linked to Kirino Abele through his involvement in his relocation from Ogishima at the age of fourteen. No siblings. His mother's demise stemmed from substance abuse when he was young. Notably clear hue. Address incoming."

"We're heading there for further questioning," Kougami affirmed.

"I'll handle things here," Ginoza concluded, deactivating the hologram. "Be cautious—we don't want to escalate the psycho hazard."

"I'm well aware, Gino," Kougami sighed.

Turning her attention towards Touko, Yashiro gravitated to the bench near the chimpanzee enclosure. Taking a seat beside her, Yashiro's presence exuded comfort and understanding.

"They have a lead now. They're en route to our school."

“It's my fault," Touko's voice trembled, her eyes betraying a shimmer of unshed tears.

"No, it's not," Yashiro countered, her tone resolute in its support.

"If I had been with my dad, this wouldn't have happened," Touko's words were heavy with self-blame, her emotions threatening to overflow.

“You can't possibly know what his intentions were,” Yashiro's brow furrowed.

"I should've answered his call. We argued yesterday. Maybe he was reaching out for help and—"

"You don’t know that," Yashiro's words cut through, firm yet compassionate.

“I should have," Touko raised her voice. "My dad saw through him when he encountered him in Ogishima. A clear hue, a smile… all while his mother lay dead in bed. He must've been the one who killed her, like the others."

"It's over now, thanks to you," Yashiro patted Touko’s clenched fist gently. "Just… be mindful now. People often seize opportunities when they perceive vulnerability."

"You're right."

"Have you reached out to any family or friends?" Yashiro inquired softly.

"Only you,” Touko's response was raw and honest. “I'm heading back to school."

"Can I ask you not to?" Yashiro's plea held a gentle earnestness.

"I need closure. I can't bear sitting there, hearing people talk about my dad. I have to do something, or I'll lose my mind."

Yashiro's eyes widened, her gaze locking onto Touko's determined expression. For a brief moment, she hesitated, as if contemplating the significance of Touko's words. Then, her lips curved into a soft smile.

Together, they began walking towards the waiting patrol vehicle. Sasayama caught Kougami's attention with a subtle nod of his head, followed by a casual toss of his cigarette. Kougami followed Sasayama's gaze and turned around, noticing the approaching girls.

Their expressions held a mixture of surprise and approval, unexpected at the girls' choice to accompany them. Kougami's lips curved upward in a subtle smile, a flicker of respect gleaming in his eyes. Sasayama's gaze lingered a moment longer than necessary, his demeanor briefly softening as he locked eyes with Touko.

#106 - diruheads deserve to tear each other apart from the inside out

[curiousquirks]

Kinktober (+18) | Day 7

Pairing: Edgeshot | Shinya Kamihara x Fem!Reader Prompts: Cuckolding | Contracts | Aphrodisiacs Content Warnings: Cuckolding, Consensual Cheating, It’s just kink fulfillment lmao, Aphrodisiacs, AFAB dialogue used for Reader Word Count: 1,911

Summary:

You and Shinya had a preestablished agreement that allowed you both to fulfill aspects of your respected kinks with mutual consent. You decided to take things a step further, and he gave you his full approval.

Once you two got comfortable around each other, you both decided to come clean about various kinks and fantasies that you’ve had. Your fingers danced along the table as you listened to every bullet point on the list Shinya was holding. He was currently discussing points that he wanted for one that you brought up recently, listing out everything that you’d both be comfortable with so that there’d be no room for any potential issues. 

What you had brought up recently was a specific kink you remembered he fantasized about: He wanted to watch another man fuck you. You had no issues fulfilling this little desire for him. You loved Shinya, you truly did, and being able to allow him to safely engage in this was your top priority. Thankfully he wasn’t a strongly jealous man, but he would want the other man to be a complete stranger. Someone neither of you would have to interact with, and definitely someone that wasn’t close to either of you. It avoids awkward conversations and quiets any jealousy that could arise outside of the encounter. 

“So you’d want to be in full view?” You asked, stilling your fingers. “Like tied to a chair?”

He nodded simply as he replied. “Not too close to the bed, I’d like some distance so I can see more.”

“Okay, I can work with that.” You smiled mischievously. 

“One last thing,” He said, placing the papers down, turning his complete attention to you. “He’s not allowed to finish inside of you. Understood?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he won’t.” You said, reaching your hand across the table to pick up the papers. “I’ll start making preparations.”

━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━

You entered the bedroom, a small box in your hand. You moved your way in front of Shinya, his form currently sitting impatiently in the chair you moved into position. His arms uselessly tied behind him, beautiful shibari ropes decorating his legs. He glanced up at you when you entered.

“I have a surprise~” You said excitedly, as you opened the small box.

You took out a small piece of chocolate from the box, and his eyebrow furrowed in confusion. You laughed as you placed one side in between your teeth. Your hands cupped his face, tilting it up as you forced his mouth open. You brought your face closer to his, before releasing your grip, allowing him to take the other side of the chocolate. Your mouths moved closer as you both made way, eating the chocolate, until your lips met. 

Your tongue pushed its way into his mouth, as your kisses turned messy. The flavor of the chocolate was strong as you made sure he got a good taste. You hummed, the noise drowning in his mouth. You broke apart, Shinya was panting slightly as some saliva was dripping down the side of his mouth. You chuckled as your thumb reached up to wipe it off of his face. 

“Just a little teaser,” You humored. “The real fun is about to begin.” 

“What was that?” He questioned, his brows furrowing again as he felt his body start heating up. 

You giggled, ignoring him as you glanced back towards the clock, noting the time. “Well, I’ve got somewhere to be.”

You grabbed his face, kissing his cheek roughly before heading out of the bedroom. Shinya threw his head back, groaning. Whatever you gave him was working awfully quickly; causing him to struggle to maintain control to ease himself into the rushing arousal slamming into him. Hopefully it was working on you just as quickly and you’d be home soon. 

━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━

You met up with your mysterious stranger, giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek as you greeted him. You picked an expensive hotel bar, where a few floors up, your adoring boy was patiently waiting for you to return. You took a seat on the bar stool, shifting in place as you started feeling the effects of your little trick from earlier. You cleared your throat, bringing out a folded stack of papers that you slide across the bar counter to him. 

“Just go ahead and sign these.” You said as you picked up the drink he ordered for you, taking a sip. “I know we’ve already talked over the details but this was the last order of business.”

It was security mostly, considering Shinya’s position as a Pro Hero. It also laid out all the ground rules for all parties involved, so this stranger knew everything before he agreed. He quickly scanned through the documents as you finished off your drink. He took out a pen and jotted down his initials and signature. 

“I see you two really went professional for this.” He joked, finishing off his drink. “I’m surprised someone like him would be into this sort of thing.”

“Everyone’s got their secret desires.” You mused, dancing your fingers over his leg. “You agreed to this, didn’t you?”

He chuckled, his eyes scanning over your body. “That’s true.”

You bit your bottom lip, finding it hard to control how desperate you were to get railed right now on this counter. Your fingers moved dangerously close to his growing erection, as your eyes met his. You leaned over, moving your mouth next to his ear. “What do you say we get out of here, hm?”

His fingers ran over your arm softly, turning his head so that there were only inches separating you two. “I’d like nothing more.”

━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━◦○◦━

Your mysterious stranger couldn’t keep his hands off of you the entire time you stood in the elevator. His hands grabbing any part of you he could as he pressed you up against the wall. His lips sucking and licking along your neck, as your fingers struggled to stay gripping his shirt. It was driving you wild, cursing the fabric preventing more satisfaction for your aching. You were causing your lip to bleed trying to keep all your moans contained, only small whimpers managing to escape. 

The ding signaled your correct floor, causing you two to pull yourselves together in case there was someone needing to get on. Thankfully no one was there, your hand reaching out to grip his hand as you dragged him quickly down the hallway to get to the room faster. In your frantic, lust filled haze it took a few tries to successfully unlock the door. It didn’t help that the stranger was grinding against your ass the whole time. 

You pulled the stranger into the room quickly, slamming the door right before he shoved you against it. Your lips crashed together clumsily, your moans getting swallowed. You wrapped your legs around his waist as he lifted you up. He gripped tightly as he navigated you two towards the suite’s bedroom. He threw you onto the bed, grinning as he glanced towards Shinya.

You propped yourself up on your arms as you looked over at Shinya. He looked rough: his hair was becoming frazzled, his skin flushed as a sheen of sweat coated him, and his rock hard cock not well hidden under his dress shirt. You grinned over at him before jumping up, joining your stranger in stripping off all of your clothes. 

“I’m going to need you to hurry up.” You teased, helping the stranger out of his pants. “I’m dripping and in need of a good fuck.”

You pushed him back onto the bed, wasting no time as you straddled him. You licked up his chest, nipping at his neck. He cursed under his breath as you grinded down on his cock, your pussy painfully soaking as it rubbed against him. You whined at the friction against your aching cunt, leaning back up as you placed your hands on his chest before grinding down against him again. You lifted up your hips, moving your hand to line his cock up with your entrance. You moaned loudly as you sunk down on his cock, throwing your head back. 

“Fuck baby,” You gasped when you started moving. “It’s so big.” 

Your hands moved up your body, grabbing your breasts, as you moved yourself on his cock. You glanced over at Shinya, who was paying close attention. You kept your moans loud, letting yourself be as vocal as you wanted knowing that it was driving Shinya wild. And it was; Shinya’s cock was twitching as it begged for some release, pre-cum had long since been coating his stomach and shirt. His breath was getting rougher, the flush covering his body getting warmer by the second. 

During your distraction, you barely noticed you were getting moved until you got flipped over onto your back, the stranger ruthlessly slamming his hips into yours at a new angle. Your fingers gripped the sheets as curses slipped loosely out of your lips. Shinya was entranced as he was watching you come undone. You were getting close, he could tell. Your fingers slithered their way down, circling your clit, trying to push yourself over the edge faster. Your legs were starting to shake, your eyes barely open as you moved them towards Shinya.

“Yes, that’s it” You whined, panting as your other hand fisted the sheets. “Make me come all over your big cock, baby.” 

“You’re fucking me so good,” Your eyes snapped shut as you rambled out your words. “That’s it…love your fucking cock. Just like tha-” 

Your head was thrown back against the bed as you screamed out, your walls clamping down around his cock. Your legs were shaking, the mystery stranger groaning out as he gripped your hips roughly. He pounded relentlessly into your pussy, holding back no mercy as he chased after his own release. Your arms lazily covered over your face, pathetically moaning out as you were fucked into the mattress.  His grunts lasted only a few more moments before he pulled himself out of your cunt, which caused a whine to escape you. You moved your arms down to cup your breasts, propping yourself up slightly.

“Come on, baby. Cover me in your come, I want it everywhere.” You encouraged, grinning lazily up at the stranger as he quickly stroked his cock before spurts of his hot semen started coating your chest.

You hummed in delight as you bit your bottom lip, as the stranger panted above you.  You collapsed against the bed, your arms spreading to your sides. You laid there, waiting as the stranger collected his clothes and quickly dressed himself. He bid you goodbye and closed the door behind him. You closed your eyes and attempted to control your breathing again, barely hearing the movement from beside you. Shinya cracked his joints when he was standing again, having used his quirk to escape. He climbed over your form on the bed, straddling your waist as he pushed your legs apart. 

“Look at you,” He mused as he ran a finger through the semen coating your chest. “Fucked absolutely senseless after being thoroughly used, hm?”

You giggled, peaking an eye open to look up at him. “My pussy is pretty sore,” You joked. “You poor thing, so desperate you’re willing to fuck someone else’s mess?”

He grinded against your still soaking cunt, a quiet moan spilling from his throat. “If you’ll let me.” He whispered. “I want to fuck you.”

Your hands moved up to cup his face, pulling him closer so your lips met. “Fuck me, Shinya. Make me regret ever fucking that guy.”

And that’s all he needed to hear.

---------------------------

This time, I was so far in the back and it was way too hot compared to the front yesterday. I was constantly wondering how Dir en grey were able to wear two or three layers of clothes on stage...

The background music was the same concept as yesterday, but I think there was one remix that we had not heard yesterday.

The band actually seemed to have started earlier than usual. Odd as well is that they come in to undefined music and the only video we see is near Kyo's entrance, where we got a bit of fire and the name of the tour.

Shinya wore a similar outfit, if not literally the same. His pink/purple hair really looked probant at times. Die at first looked like he was wearing something akin to what he had in mode of Macabre or mode of Vulgar, somewhat ample black top with a simple V-neck, as well as his necklace from yesterday, quite large in the centre, and at first it seemed like he had a scarf? But it was off in the first song, so either I dreamt it, or he took it off when his guitar got handed to him. Toshiya, next, wore a black dress shirt with what looked like a full turtle-neck white shirt, but if it was the same piece he wore at the encore, then it's sleeveless amd it has some gems on the front, courtesy of the d'Or probably.

Now, Kaoru... It took me so many peeks to figure out what was up with him.

First of all, the theme tonight was definitely orange. Both Kyo and Kaoru had that colour scheme going.

Kaoru was dressed like... The McDonald's thief and/or some Beetlejuice character? I don't have enough knowledge in either to tell for sure hah. So, his long-sleeve shirt was black with large orange horizontal stripes. But on his left, he wore some wardrobe cape-ish thing that had wide sleeves, but it definitely did not cover both of his sides. And then, I thought at first that it was an undergarment or another shirt underneath, but he had some kind of accessory scarf that went down to his belly at least that, from afar, honestly looked like it had a pattern of hamburgers hahah? Hence my reference to the McDonald's thief. Oh and he had huge raccoon makeup with thin stripes sparking his eyes on his temples. His mouth was a whole other story, also in reference to hamburgers or something... His lips were really dark and he had orange or purple drippings on his chin and down his neck. Either he overindulged, or that was supposed to be vomit.

Kyo now! His hair is orange starting from today! He and Kaoru had their hair sleeked back with gel, almost parted the same way too, from what I could tell. Kyo had orange on the exterior side of his eyes, which truly reminder me of David Bowie. Am I imagining that he did some similar makeup? His lips were once again heavily accentuated with black, it was clear that the makeup boldened beyond just his lips.

In terms of what he wore, hahah... It was a bit like pajamas? Very, very ample checkered pants, a somewhat oversized very long beige coat with black lines criss-crossing it. That one seemed more luxurious than the pants, for sure. His shoes, from what I briefly saw of them, looked too big for him, so they gave me the impression of being slippers, but I must be wrong hah. Underneath the almost trench coat he wore, Kyo had a white dress shirt with a black collar, and the jacket was slightly open in the centre to show a black T-shirt underneath. I couldn't tell exactly what it was, maybe the one he wore for those recent Phalaris magazine photoshoots, but all I could think was: "How are you sustaining this heat in so much clothing?" He even took at least two songs before removing that coat, although he did lower one shoulder quickly enough.

This time, I don't know if he just felt better today to begin with or if it was kind of strategic to hype up the crowd from the start, but Kyo absolutely had a better experience today. And very early on, it was the: "Can we become one?", "Can you go on?", etc. etc. He did a lot more interventions today, which sounds bad but really isn't. Yesterday, his silence actually let on his frustration, like there was no need to bother even trying anything.

The first few songs went kind of as you would expect them but of course, they had a lot of energy. Machiavellism was nice to hear! I can't remember if it was that song, but there was one where Kyo sang it very whiny-ly.

After one of the interludes to change gears, Toshiya drank water, turned to us, leaning with one arm up very casually on his speakers to stare at us intensely. Then, a really energetic song started and he spit so many particles of water upward above him, it came out of nowhere, from his mouth! It set the mood for the hyper song that followed hahah. Was it TDFF?

There were two huge smoke moments, one of them definitely being in Saku. We had seen from DVD performances that the beams of light all focus on Kyo at some point, but there was suddenly a lot of smoke behind him too, it was kind of surreal.

One thing I might have forgotten to mention yesterday about The Perfume of Sins is that it's the heaviest track ever because Kyo fucking death growls the "nose eyes ears" part, it's not just the whispers from the studio song. So imagine heavy panting while the static plays, a worrisome violin swaying in the midst, then the band bangs and Kyo growls out his lyrics like a beast.

This time, the gestures for "hitotsu oboete hoshii soko no inochi" were different, like there was one finger pulled from his left hand which then went out one year to vanish, but the hand and four fingers remaining disintegrated, so that makes me question the official translation a bit.

Toshiya was gesturing so much during Oboro, it was very sentimental. In the introduction, he did the "father, son and Holy Spirit" across his chest, and I think there was a wide arc he did with his arms later on.

I had more opportunity to observe the backdrops today since heads often blocked my view of the members. For 13, the video starts with bodies in... bodybags hung by their ankles, with multiple birds circling the sky above them, waiting to prey on them. It also showed a crucified hand. This time, I can't believe that they would have changed the video for one day versus the previous, but I strongly remember that yesterday, the fire shown at the end (kowashitekure subete o - destroy it all) was way too simplistic, but today it was more unique and it had a charred skeleton in it at some point. Overall, the imagery was very much: "killing what's already dead", I find. Or further desecration.

Oh and for 13, Toshiya and Kyo totally reproduce the amalgamated bass/umunjanai part even in the live, it sounds so fucking good. It's totally intentional, they're in synch.

I guess now I will always remember that Die has a part where he does not play, in Child Prey. Because for some reason, he decided to spray water from his bottle right during the song and then he threw it to the crowd. And the backup vocals seemed more dynamic now compared to yesterday, where it was one of the last songs. Also funny to look at the contrast between Toshiya and Die when they sing: Toshiya is frowning and lines form around his mouth from how seriously he does it, whereas Die is all relaxed hah.

Flawless throw of the mic stand by Toshiya this time! He makes the mic almost stay level, only making the stand itself rotate 180° around it vertically.

We clapped so much today as well for the encore. It seemed endless, and we definitely sped up uncontrollably three times at least. Hopefully it made the band members proud.

For the encore, Toshiya had his white sleeveless shirt that he probably had underneath, with two collard somehow. Die and Shinya had the tour T-shirts, both with sleeves cut, I believe. Kaoru had this sick sleeveless black jean jacket with what looked like a custom drawing in the back? It was totally a kind of big ghost head in his style. And he had a black T-shirt under. Finally, Kyo arrived at the very end of G.D.S. wearing the Perfume of Sins tour T-shirt with a frill collar that drapes his shoulders. I think he wore it and is once again bringing back stuff from his past outfits, but right now I'm not sure... Maybe a recent Desperate outfit accessory? Anyway, same wide pants.

Schwein no Isu was played rather energetically, with Kyo slashing his throat with his thumb, from what I remember. However, throughout the ending of the song, you could hear clicks, which did not coincide with Kyo or any of the other mics hitting anything. And as a matter of fact, Kyo's mic died before he could sing the final: "eins zwei drei vier", pointing his finger to a guy on the righthand side of the stage and signaling for him to come, before throwing his mic to the ground, sadly soundlessly. A guy hurried to connect the mic back. Overall, I think Kyo took the incident lightly, because as soon as it was fixed, he said something like: "I'm not done" or "We're still going on, right?"

But then, it was Die's turn to have technical issues hahah. The first notes of Jessica started but we soon abruptly stopped hearing Die's guitar. The whole band then stopped because it just ruined the song, they could not let Die return naturally into it with a new guitar seconds later. Kyo once again MCed but I totally didn't catch everything he said. He definitely joked around the technical issue. My guess is that it was like: "Don't worry, we're actually gonna play it. This isn't a tease. Seriously." Or something about how the issues spread on not just to him. The band had a lot of fun playing it afterward, whereas Die looked pissed off at least at first. He began playing with another guitar, I think, and he was looking head bowed toward his console in the back for the first few seconds.

When Toshiya was given his black bass, he brought it to the front and held it high in his right hand. And literally everybody knew, we all reached the same conclusion: "Oh shit, it's the WAKE UP! MOTHER FUCKER bass, we're going to get Hageshi sato!" And we did indeed!

One thing I noticed from seeing more people in front of me is that even if they are basically all a knot members or people rich enough to purchase a resell ticket, there are a lot of them who don't know the first notes of the songs, or when the headbanging parts stop... It's worse in tours abroad undoubtedly, but I would still expect much better from shows for the fan club.

One such moment was with The Final. I put up my hand as soon as I heard the first note, but everybody put up their hand only when Kyo put up his, seconds later.

Man, Kyo's ending note before the last words, you always feel as if you're holding your own breath with him and it feels endless. This time, there was an echo effect added to his singing exactly then, way too pronounced, and the fact that we kept hearing the last sounds while he sang the new ones kind of ruined the moment in my opinion.

For Rasetsukoku, Kyo told us something about ruining our necks. Hell yes! Kaoru's headbanging seemed way softer than on DVDs, now that I paid attention to it.

I can't remember exactly what song it was in, but something flew into the crowd while Kyo was crouched screaming or growling to the left of his crate. Then shortly after, maybe once the next song had started, he came back to that spot to throw water or squirt it directly on someone, throwing it intentionally in the audience afterwards.

But the finale was great. Kyo did not even bother growling the ending, he just kept headbanging while grasping the border of his crate, until he became still for a while. As Shinya ramped up the last of his drumming for the final bam, Kyo got back up onto his crate with his fingers already forming a fox sign! Then he waved bye and left, looking really satisfied. What a change from yesterday!

Toshiya brought a folded Club Citta towel and really made a big deal of showing it to us, I guess to convey his appreciation for this venue, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Then he left.

Shinya definitely threw a couple of drumsticks. Die also showed his throwing skills once again with a big proud smile. I don't think he threw much else?

Kaoru took a large handful of picks to throw in the crowd, and pointed again toward the back like: "Can you guys believe it, 25 years?" but then he turned his finger toward us with the same fond expression and that was just so heartwarming.

[woodblxssomcrowned]

It was a heavenly respite. Rare were the times that Kaname left the village, even rarer were the times that she left it for her own pleasure.  She held a great fondness for the hot springs of Konoha… but she likes this one more simply for being far, far away from the village. And she could not have asked for better company to share the escape with. Kaname’s neck rests across the Ghost Tiger's arm, leaned back and eyes closed. If it wasn't for her fingers idly tracing patterns across the arm around her shoulders and the content smile that curled her lips, one may have believed her to be asleep. 

The change of scenery. The escape from the life in Konoha she so often wondered if she could leave behind. And time with Shinya in a place that did not know either of them. It was a feeling of relief and freedom. A wonderful breath of fresh air, and one she deeply, almost painfully mourned, knowing she’d have to leave it behind come morning. But whatever awaited them there, she hoped he knew nothing would change. Not for better or worse.

“Hm...I am shocked you have not already memorized me,” she whispers softly as he breaks the comfortable silence between them and kissing her cheek, opening her eyes to the serene scene surrounding them; the shifting light of the fireflies, and beyond them the stars speckling the night sky.

The wet polished jade around Kaname’s wrist shimmers in the sparse light as she raises her hand from where it had rested in her lap and out of the murky, hot water. "You're right, though." Dripping fingers lightly trace the shape of his jawline, something she had done what felt like a thousand times by now. 

Her movements are slow, trying to disturb the water as little as possible, as she then shifts away from her comfortable recline, to instead straddle Shinya’s lap, dark brown eyes holding hazel ones in a deep, intimate gaze. Her smile is happy and blissful.

"If it's our last night here, let's make it thoroughly memorable."

@woodblxssomcrowned sent: Heated Hot Springs (Kaname & Shinya)

It's a peaceful night with cicadas chirping and a gentle breeze sweeping through the trees, offering relief in the sweltering summer heat. Fireflies dance above the tall reeds surrounding the hot spring. Their light is magical and fleeting, like the stars in the sky when night turns into day.

While bathing in the hot spring, Shinya gazes up at the night sky with Kaname resting on his arm, the smoke from his kiseru dancing from his lips. After sharing two blissful nights at an onsen, miles away from the Hidden Leaf, he cannot help but dread tomorrow when they have to leave. Knowing that they have to return to their roles, knowing a potential suitor awaits her.

"Let's make the most of tonight, hm?" Shinya says, removing his kiseru to plant a soft kiss against Kaname's cheek. "I want to commit every part of you into memory before the night is over."

If he had it his way, they would never leave this onsen.

working out with Shinya at the most inopportune times.

times when literally no one in the Public Safety Bureau is clocked in to work. Yet alone other enforcers even awake to be frequenting the gym areas if they wanted to. Making it the perfect time for the two of you to have more than just a morning wake up call of a good workout together. Shinya always a little groggy even after he's worked up a sweat alongside you so you do a little more to keep a fellow hunting dog in tip top shape for the day to come.

encouraging him to workout in anything he wants, who's gonna see besides you? Meaning you get to watch the sweat roll off his muscles the more worked up he gets. No slouch yourself as you workout alongside him and watch him get more and more out of breath. Partly because of his routine. Partly because you see how hard he's getting in his shorts just from being on display like this for you. No hiding the fact you're grinning as he shows off for himself and you in the room full of mirrors.

without a single place to hide it either. Wall to wall mirrors in front of the two of you supposed to be used for watching one's form when they workout. Instead you not hiding the fact you're staring at Shinya's cock straining against his jersey shorts when he pauses for a drink of water.

that pause is all the invitation you need.

sweat rolling down his chest means when you press your sweaty front into his back the wonderful musk of your body odors mix. Instantly turning you on. And making Shinya throb in his shorts. It isn't exactly a good clean fuck you're looking for. That would be to boring for the two of you.

post work out musk suffocating between the two of you. Only heightened by the smell of sex the second you begin teasing him. Finger toying with him from behind. Neglected cock starting to leave a wet mark on his shorts. Bleeding through with precum in the moments you play with his ass. Deep chest rumbling groans leaving the man as he can't help but grip the barre in front of him. Knuckles turning white and chewing the inside of his cheek in attempts to keep quiet and subsequently not be caught. Though, you're both latent criminals, what do they expect?

shinya pressing back into your teasing. Huffing like an impatient prude but the second you slip a finger inside him the man's legs are trembling and his cock is leaking beads of precum. Thick scent of sex almost overpowering the smell of sweat. Almost.

one knuckle leading to two, until your fingers as deep in him as it will go. Shinya's cock freed kindly by your other hand. Still remaining untouched though as you grip his hip and add another finger. Pumping them into him just to find his prostate and the gush of slimy precum that lands in glops between his feet. Legs spread like a whore as Shinya grips the barre in front of him. Spread in front of the mirror of all places with you behind him and his head bowed unable to contain himself.

when the wisps of precum drip from his throbbing cock and he's pushing himself back onto your fingers like he needs more. That's when you finally give some more relief to the mutt of a man. Reaching around and circling your fingers around his cock. Pulling back on his foreskin to watch him nearly break in front of the mirror at such a minor addition to the sensation of your fingers stretching him.

fingers encircled around his cock. Pumping Shinya slowly as your fingers inside him swish and abuse the sweet little spot deep inside him that can only be reached from behind. Face doused in blush, lips parted and breathes ragged. Once from the labor intensive work out. Now from the way you unrelentingly finger him in time to the strokes of his cock. Squeezing the tip just right to see those beautiful dribbles of precum slowly beginning to show color. His moans just as much of a tell tale sign that he won't last but maybe a few more seconds.

and what's better than seeing such a brute of a man unravel before you and the rest of the empty room. Savoring Shinya's orgasm at all angles because of these wonderful mirrors. Fingers pressed hard against his prostate and the friction of your hand around his cock. Too much so all he can do is attempt to fuck himself on your fingers as his orgasm hits it peak. Cum being splattered all over the mirror. Thick stringy globs of it drooling down from where it lands. Loosing count in fact of how much he cums until you literally can't pull your fingers from his twitching hole and the mirror before him is soiled with nasty globs of cum.

when the moments finally pass. Shinya is able to stand without his legs wanting to give out. And his breathes becoming more steady. Is always the moments in the morning when he gets down on his knees. Fingers pulled from him. And now just the cum streaks on the mirror. Incriminating evidence if you ask him. Meaning that hiding it is the best bet not to get caught.

shinya following it up like a good mutt as he licks his cum off the mirrors. Cold and musky as he runs his tongue over the surface of the mirror. When he's finally done cleaning up the mess he very explicitly made. Shinya can always expect to turn around to find the warmth of your cunt. Exposed to the air and begging to be licked clean. After all you need a good start to the day just as much as he does.

Worrying Thunder - Thor x Reader

(A/N)

I would like to say thank you and I am really happy to see that you guys liked the very first story that I’d posted, so here’s some Thor fluff! I also truly appreciate the new followers (thank you so much!) As I’d said, I’m a huge Thor simp (though Poseidon really is testing my loyalty), and I have a lot more stories saved in my little Notes app on my phone dedicated to our god of thunder; excited to share it with y’all! (I also have a lot of Thor x Reader x Poseidon stuff, do let me know if you guys want to read em!)

The following story is just for shits and giggles. I do not own any of the characters, they are the property of Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui and Ajichika. I also do not own you, the reader.

Warning: Swearing from my disclaimer.

Worrying Thunder

Thor x Reader

After a long day hard at work, and by work, Thor spent some time sitting in the throne room then resigned to someplace else outside the palace to look for any challenger that dared trespass his realm, he was finally allowed to see his wife.

Down the hallways and past the wooden doors he went, his sole destination being where he was certain he would find his wife in, absorbed in writing as usual.

The door creaked open and from which his eyes were once softened with glee upon finally resting on the beautiful sight of you, were now twisted with alarm and concern as he beheld you lying down on the floor, drool at the side of your mouth, and at first sight, unconscious.

Faster than the speed of lightning he knelt beside you, calling your name desperately. What had happened? Did you injure yourself? Had anyone dared hurt you? Poisoned your food—

“Oh! Mngh, hello!”

Thor’s train of thought ceased, and his dark eyes widened while you stirred in his arms, reaching up with one hand to wipe away some saliva that was dripping down your chin. In your sleepy haze, you stretched then smiled at him, unaware of the wave of emotions he felt in a short span of time.

“Welcome back, Beloved.” You leaned and kissed Thor’s forehead, the latter still unmoving which caused you to tilt your head in question. “Did work overstress you that much? Don’t worry, I can give you a massage...”

Thor came out of his stupor quickly then narrowed his eyes at you, heaving a sigh of relief despite feeling somewhat annoyed at himself for failing to notice that you were simply asleep.

“Why were you on the floor?” Thor asked, not budging, completely unaffected by your attempts to standing up.

“Oh, it was too hot while I was writing so I decided to lie on the floor where it was cold,” You bit your cheek. “The weather’s got me too sleepy lately too, so I guess I must have fallen asleep.”

That made sense. Although naturally Thor’s face remained collected, he made no attempts to disguise the worry he felt in his actions.

Realization hit your face and immediately you cradled his head in your arms and apologized. “Oh! Sorry to have worried you, and right after you went to see me after the labors of your day too.” You hugged him tight.

Of course, the thought of blaming you never even crossed Thor’s mind. You were neither on the wrong nor right, it was just a matter of circumstance. He gently lifted his head up only a fraction to stare at you, feeling the tension in his body being released slowly at the gentle bondage of your touch. From your perspective, this has always been such a mesmerizing view: his normally stern eyes hungry for battle were nothing of the like, the yellow orbs clouded with a softness akin to Egyptian cotton, holding no hostility whatsoever, only filled with understanding.

“You need not worry,” A small smile lingered around the corners of Thor’s mouth as he picked you up easily, then carried you on his back to your quarters. “Simply subsequently, do find a pillow for your head when you decide to sleep on the floor again.”

You nodded with a smile against his back, whispering, “...I think I remember bringing a pillow with me to the floor. Strange how it has just disappeared.”

After a short moment of silence, you and your husband shared a sigh, finding the familiar in the strange. “Loki,”

hope you feel better, eclair <3

Tsunagu is drunk. He’s not drunk drunk, beer’s a little bit too light for that. He’d call himself tipsy at best. Everything feels warm, and fuzzy, and his body is loose and relaxed. He hasn’t felt like this for years, with… everything going on. He’s sitting up high, in the crow’s nest, sipping on beer, enjoying the wind and how the moon lights the clouds up, staining them silver. Tsunagu sighs, leaning backwards, back against body-warmed wood and legs crossed. 

He props his head on a hand and looks at the stars. Up there was the six-headed serpent of the seas, Nilau- they were a ferocious beast, the wrath of the ocean incarnate. Storms, lighting, and tragedy followed in their bath. Nilau’s longest head, curved fangs of stars dripping nebulae, pointed towards their rival. Ichimi.

Ichimi’s myth was slightly older than Nilau’s, if only because the latter was linked to the ocean, but Ichimi was linked to the winds. She is the fortune-favoured, the remmanents of a long-dead ship, blessed and cursed by the world as a whole. Ichimi had once had a captain, crew, and they sailed her all around the world. 

Then Nilau stuck. Death. Tragedy. Two new fated rivals, each with a burning hatred for one another- and in the sky, the center of their constellations pointed in two different directions, fundamental opposites. Ichimi’s was true north, the homecoming star, and with her story that was a tragedy in motion. What was a ship without her crew? Where was the crew without their ship? 

Nilau was the ever-shifting star, forever moving across the sky. The star crowning their belly was erratic, dimming one night then flaring up the other. It was said that whenever their star flared, a storm happened. 

It had been bright, brighter than Ichimi’s star, the past week or two. The curse was affecting the ocean. 

Tsunagu takes another sip of the beer. If the star did predict storms, and it might, then the entire ocean was fucked. He supposed that it was, but, well, the sky didn’t need to call all of them out for this. 

He stands up. The beer is finished, and if he gets any more drunk, Tsunagu might legitimately need to stay up here for a few hours. The ropes of the ship are as sturdy as ever, and his hands are steady as he attaches himself to the zipline someone had rigged up. Tsunagu checks the knots, pulls once, and jumps. 

Wind rushes through his hair, and Tsunagu can’t help but let out a ringing, resounding, laugh. His momentum carries him until the end, which is when the rope stops, and oh shit he’s forgotten how to- 

Water catches him. 

“Really, Tsunagu?” It places him gently onto the deck of the ship, untying knots. 

“Look me in the eyes and tell me you haven’t done the same.” Tsunagu puts the rope down. “...Thanks.” 

“Mhm,” Shinya says, nursing a bottle of- 

“Is that- wind-wine?” Holy shit, a bottle was worth double its weight in gold. What the fuck, Shinya. Then again. This was the Cursed Captain. Tsunagu really should stop being surprised at the levels of 'how the fuck' he generates. 

“Yep.” Shinya takes another sip. He’s sitting on top of a wooden crate, legs dangling and with two more bottles at his side. He tips the mouth of the bottle towards Tsunagu. “Want some?” 

-

Oh, they’re both so fucking drunk. Tsunagu giggles at the sight of Shinya trying to put his hat down… or it could be the other way around. He’s not sure. “No, wait, captain- cappy-tan?” Tsunagu pauses, enthralled by this line of thought. “Capya?” He wonders out loud? 

“What?” Shinya squints at him. Over the course of the thirty minutes they’ve been drinking, he has downed more cups than Tsunagu. To be honest, if Shinya could walk in a straight line, he’d be very impressed. Wind-wine was strong. Very strong. “Who?” 

“You, silly.” Tsunagu tries to poke him in the side, fails, and almost falls of the crate, and wow was that not fun. “Ow…” His face falls. 

“Clumsy,” Shinya says. “But also cute. You’re kinda like a, like-“ He waves his hand though the air, searching for words. Then he turns and claps his hands down on either side of Tsunagu, straddling him in the process. “Deer. That’s the thing. A little clumsy baby deer.” 

Tsunagu cocks his head. “W-huh?” His voice goes high-pitched at the end there, but how was he supposed to respond to that?” Shinya hums. 

“Mhm. An infuriating little shit. But a very cute one… you’re warm.” He slumps closer to Tsunagu. 

“You know what?” Tsunagu reaches for the bottle. “I think we both need more alcohol.” 

“Yep,” Shinya sleepily says. “It’s good. Makes everything a little less sharp…”

-

“You are making- making my exis- exists- life so weird! It’s hard!” Shinya flings his arms up, pacing on the deck, back and forth. “I keep looking at you and it’s like, oh hey Tsunagu’s looking good today. And no! You do not look good! You are maddening!” 

Tsunagu pouts. “You’re not even alive alive, why are you complaining? If anything, you’re the one haunt- ghosting? Ghosting me! Don’t blame me, blame yourself and Midnight! She choked me out! I was literally kidnapped!” 

“Oh, and who was the one that got cursed again?” Shinya whirls around and stabs a finger in his direction. 

“You, from the last time I checked-“ Shinya pulls at the ocean to tug him down. “W- I- hey!” He straddles Tsunagu, sitting on his stomach. 

“You,” Shinya snaps out, jabbing a finger to his face. Tsunagu can’t help but notice the way the moonlight reflects off of him, turning pretty in to perfect. Shinya looks like he’s carved from marble, and the only thing stopping him from being a statue- cold, unfeeling, uncaring of all troubles, is the scowl on his face. Tsunagu wants to touch it. Make him mad. “And your stupid, pretty, fucking- fucking green eyes! I want to strangle you.” 

The first thought that comes to Tsunagu’s mind is Shinya’s hot when he’s mad and how the fuck and huh??. But this is what he says “Like you’re tall enough to reach, captain.” A grin slides onto his face, taunting, mocking, menacing.

Shinya makes a noise humans usually wouldn’t be able to. A mix between a snarl and a growl, and he bares his teeth. “You’ve sunk low enough for me to reach, rich boy," He snaps out. "I could just-"

Their faces are so close together. If a strong wind blew they would be kissing. Tsunagu can smell the sugar put into the wind-wine from here. "Could just what?"

Shinya responds by throwing water into his face.

Another rainy day but a rainy day with a concert. However I was held hostage in bed by my cat so I only arrived in Kawasaki at 4 and at the venue past 5.

Ticket exchange was very smooth and I was inside very quickly. There was a bit longer queue for goods but I didn't wait longer that 10 mins. Today's sticker design has Shinya.

Then (well after the loo run) I was at my seat waiting for the concert to start. It was weekend so the schedule was 30 mins earlier than the previous day. This time they started almost on the clock.

The sick people in the SE video were also representing people with mental conditions. There was 'RIP AMERIKKKA' on the US flag, another sign (road sign/informative sign?) had a longer text that included something about disabilities.

The band members started to come out and fans greeted each of them with clapping.

Shinya's new haircut is quite nice, he wore the cream jacket. Die had a long vest and black sleeve kinda things (they accented his arms in a very nice way). Toshiya had the jacket with gold embroidery. Kaoru a suit with thick black and white stripes.

Kyo had a white shirt with frill front and black fitted vest. He wore special make up that looked like a fool clown mask - the white paint covered most of his forehead but from the eyeline down started to narrow, so it really looked like a mask. The overdrawn lips went outside the white.

SE finished with the burning letters forming the tour title. Then they were replaced by DIR EN GREY that looked like it was made of ice.

Rinkaku was a good song to start with. The silence after MINERVA but with all hands in the air.

Then with NwK the energy levels were really high.

And then I heard the first notes from Karasu Love the guitars there, Kaoru was so interesting to watch.

But Kyo was easily pulling my eyes back! He kept such a good contact with audience today😭❤️

Yet one more stolen moment during Karasu: Toshiya got his bass close to upright then reached for the mic stand, basically using it to play for a moment like an oversized bow (he didn't lift the stand just leaned it toward the bass).

And I can't pinpoint the exact songs but he went to the right side of the stage few times today, also came to the stage edge many times.

And by then Kyo's make up was already starting to melt and drip with sweat which really just added to the performance.

Aka had Kyo using the mic cord to create a loop.

Which song was it with the war scenes? There were many dates from the European theatre of WWII but it at some moment showed a medieval battle. And they also added more scenes from Middle East.

One more video I can't place is zombie subway game.

D.T.F.F. aka the song you will want to experience live at least once, I promise you. IT IS A LIVE 'let's have the audience go crazy' MASTERPIECE.

I can't write about each song, they were all just so raw and hitting at all right places. I was headbanging, jumping, fist-pumping, rocking basically non stop (thank you my aisle seat that gave me space allowing to reasses the definition of 'excessive headbanging'😂).

But one thing that changed for me for sure, yesterday I could still feel very keenly the loss at not being able to sing and scream my heart out, but today it was gone. I felt more confident that we can communicate our feelings and reactions to them even without it.

Kyo gave us 'let us hear your heart voice' just as they were starting Utafumi, and during the song hitting his chest with the mic. It was🔥🔥🔥

And then the main part was over and we were clapping and clapping and clapping👏

They came out for encore in different clothes. Kaoru had a black tshirt without sleeves, Toshiya a black blouse with the flower piece from the day before, the string kind of tie is actually part of the piece I think. Shinya also wore a black t-shirt, same as Die I think (not 100% sure).

Kyo had a white piece with black straps that was almost like a white version of the alice uaa piece he wore for Androgynos, but it was asymmetric, one side was sleeveless. He wore the same (I think) wide cropped pants underneath it as with the black piece.

Oboro had the video in the back.

Vinushka had more current scenes added to the video, it could be Afganistan but definitely some scenes from a conflict in the Middle East. Kyo definitely reached very deep into us.

Followers after Vinushka was a genius decision. The energy again was just❤️

And then before saku Kyo started announcing last song, screaming 'LAST! LAST! GUYS!! GIRLS!! Let us hear your heart voice!!!! LAAAAAAST!'

During saku all members were going to other side of the stage, Toshiya went to play in front of Shinya for a bit as well. And Kaoru was for a moment headbanging with Die. Kyo moved around his stand coming to the edge of the stage and kept looking at the fans as we were headbanging and fist-pumping.

Then when the encore was finished Kyo stayed on the stand, the emotions on his face😭😭😭😭😭❤️

He then stood up and pointed at the audience, from his eyes to the audience and again and again. He waves us goodbye before leaving.

Shinya left very quickly, Toshiya came to the edge of the stage before leaving. Kaoru took one pick and saluted us. Die waved as he was walking off.

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

hehe, angsty snippet from a potential sequel/continuation to my edgejeanist Band AU oneshot (featuring lots of uncharacteristic swearing

"Hey," Tsunagu jerks himself away from Shinya. "No!"

"Oh, so fucking me is completely fine, but fucking you is going too far?" Shinya sneers, wiping off the spit on his mouth with the back of his palm. "You know how fucking stupid that sounds right? Whether you top or not doesn't matter, you still cheated on Riku. So don't pretend to have any shame."

"Shut up." Tsunagu snaps.

"No, you don't even love him--"

"Of course I do!"

"Oh, really?!" Shinya's words drip with a venomous sarcasm. "Then why do you keep fucking me, after every show, every performance, even on the road to our gigs. You can't tell me you're thinking of him the whole ti--"

"And what if I am?" Tsunagu's eyes flash.

Shinya's grey eyes narrow, but pain swirls in their depths and his voices wavers with uncertainty. "You aren't."

"Well, I am." Tsunagu lashes out defensively, intending to hurt the guitarist, and get him to drop this. They were working fine, why does he need to complicate things? "Stay the fuck out of my love life."

"Well, maybe you should keep your dick out of mine!"

What does that even mean? "Fuck off." Tsunagu snarls.

"No, fuck you!"

#118 - the last remaining band member that hasnt gotten voted out yet

[canmom]

people tend to associate desires - the abstract things that motivate us to act - and happiness - a good 'desirable' state of mind. i think often it feels like the logic goes that if you want something, you at least think you'll feel happy if you get it. i don't think that's necessarily true though. wants or desires (and other modal verbs like shoulds and musts) seem to be the fundamental object, the part that... we can explain them in the sense that we have some idea how to inculcate them but when actually confronted with them, they're inexplicable, monolithic, all you get is the force pushing you towards something.

(discussion of sex under cut)

this ties into sexuality i guess in terms of the fact that things people want are only loosely coupled to the pleasurable state of 'orgasm'. many years ago i saw a clip from an animated comedy series called the venture brothers in which the villain of the week is a burglar who turns out to be a tech fetishist. one of the characters remarks that 'he can only get off when he's surrounded by machines' or something like that. so as a rational actor he puts into play a plan to achieve the desirable state. this seems to have it the wrong way round: the fetishes have motivating power even if they are unlikely to lead to orgasm, although chasing them may make it stronger and more satisfying?

i don't want to overstate this... if you feel like you want to idk, have wax dripped on you, and you try it and it sucks, you'll probably not want it so much anymore. but i guess it's like... a matter of framing. like, saying 'you generally want to achieve pleasure so you act rationally on your desires on the belief that they're signals of how to achieve that', vs 'you want certain things no matter the result and when you act on these desires, you may experience pleasure that reinforces them'.

this may sound like sophistry, but the reason i end up thinking along these lines is, i find myself constantly caught in the wind of conflicting motivations. i see an impressive animation, and i want to create a similar picture; i read an insightful piece of writing and i want to cultivate a similar insight; i think about the gacha game and i want to make the numbers go up. if my former landlord says something false to claim the deposit, i want to correct him. in many cases, there is no rational way to think this will lead to happiness. most obviously, if i play the gacha game, i will probably feel frustrated and disappointed in myself. but equally well, if one day i learn to animate as well as weilin zhang or shinya ohira or bahi jd or mitsuo iso or create independent films as well as jonni phillips or vewn or telepurte, will i be happier? would i feel satisfied at any point? it seems very unlikely. yet this does not weaken the compulsion by any means; if i imagine various possible futures the one in which i spend a lot of time animating and creating things and 'improving' seems like the one i feel most 'true to my idea of myself' if i can pull it off, but there will clearly never come a point where I'll be so good that i can pat myself on the back and relax and feel happy about it. unless i learn to do that as an entirely separate skill which i have no idea how to cultivate.

it occurs to me that the point where i felt happiest in the last few years was the month i spent in America. it felt like the pressure was off for a bit. if i was a rational actor pursuing happiness then i would pretty much just seek to earn enough money to go out there again as quickly as possible. but there are many other things i feel it's important to do to live a good life, other wants and other loyalties, not that I'm really doing a very good job at holding up any of them.

this is why i say they're inscrutable. i just have this vague inexplicable feeling of what is important and what i want to be doing, which is not considered, and often seems to actively resist conscious planning. idk if that's just the Human Condition or the brain disease they label 'adhd'. either way i can't really explain why i do anything i do. like why am i lying in bed writing about this rather than going to the shops and doing some drawing or work? i can invent stories but often it seems my 'conscious mind' is just along for the ride, a helpless observer like biwa in heike monogatari. anyway none of this is new, i guess I'll just keep itching at it, it's about as pointless as any other activity

@unshackle​ asked:                             ⛓️    ||     ✎

How long had he been there? He remembers being knocked out, a steel pipe coming in contact with the back of his head. He saw stars painted black before he fell unconscious, away from the group. 

They were still tying him down when he woke back up, doing everything he could to escape them. He fought them, whoever they were. People against the MWPSB? Were they trying to get secrets on how the relationship between enforcers and inspectors? Or was it a deeper job, one that Yuuji didn’t really care about hearing. He escaped their bonds, fighting against the offenders until they fired a bullet into his leg, right into his shin. That quickly got him down. He may still be a kid, but his body endurance terrified anyone. The only to stop him was to incapacitate him in some way or kill him; and Yuuji wasn’t going to die so easily. 

After he fell, they gathered him up, sticking him into a chair, and cuffed him. It’s the feeling of metal burning into his skin, throwing him back to when he was fifteen, cuffed and thrown into the rehabilitation center. In his weak state, he’s struggling against the cuffs a little more aggressively than he should. Blood dripping down his fingers as he did so. 

They started asking questions, and Yuuji’s guess was right. They did want dirt on the MWPSB, they wanted to take it down, they wanted to take down all of the Sibyl System. Yuuji didn’t want that, not yet. So he stayed quiet for as long as he could, earning the reward of a few hits to his face. They promised if he talked, they’d get him out of the country. But, where would he even go? He had no one, only the voice in his head. The voice begging to be set free, begging to kill. A few more questions go unanswered before Yuuji is punched hard enough to knock him out again. 

There’s a small area of blood pooling around his foot when he wakes again to the sounds of distant gunfire. His eyes peak open, looking at the door that held his escape. Yet, the cuffs still pinning him down with the illusion that he can’t move. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t slip them free. 

And suddenly the door swings open and Yuuji’s head snaps up. He makes eye contact with none other than Shinya Kogami. He’s sweaty in his usual suit and tie, definitely not the attire for a full on fight with some ratty gang trying to uplift society.     ❝     Mr. Kogami?!     ❞     There’s adrenaline pumping through his veins, causing him to forget the pain he’s in.     ❝     You’re here?     ❞     Does that mean the others were here? Had they all come to rescue him for the sake of rescuing him?     ❝     Why are you here?     ❞     He’s still dazed from the blows to his head and the growing blood loss from the bullet wound.

How things change when the time stands still.

Warnings: death, panic, bombs + explosions, angsty thoughts. Yeah, a lot of panic.

Tagging: @ohpleaseiwillendyou @kiriderp @kure-san and @theshisthings (hope you don’t mind me tagging you, I just thought you might like to see this!)

—————————————

Tick.

The world froze as Tsunagu looked out at Shinya with pain in his eyes. He knew what was going to happen, and he knew that the other would have to bear the pain of him leaving in the worst way possible. He felt bad, he really did.

Tick.

There was a time in his life where he wouldn’t care how his loved ones would be hurt by him leaving, or how much pain they’d be in for the rest of their lives....but this time, it was different. This time it wasn’t his choice. And this time....this time it was going to happen.

Tick.

I guess things did change...only, not always for the better.

Tick.

He felt his heart break as he saw the realisation slowly dawn on Shinya’s face as he clutched his mother’s scarf, eyes filled with fear and dread.

Tick.

‘I’m so sorry...Shinya, please forgive me...’ the fiber hero tried to silently tell the other, no words forming but tears threatening to fall.

Tick.

————————

Prior to this moment, Tsunagu had already had the feeling that something would happen. And that it would be himself who would have to take the hit.

Hearing the ticking inside the house, he reached out to grab Shinya’s hand, rubbing circles over the other man’s bruised knuckles.

Tick...tick...

Ignoring the fact that they were surrounded by many other heroes, who were all looking at the house in joint dismay after their failed attempt at a rescue mission, he brought their hands to his lips and kissed Shinya’s scars gently.

“What are you doing?” The silver haired hero quietly asked, squeezing the other’s hand in his own.

Silence. Nothing but the ticking noise could be heard as a response failed to emerge from the taller man.

Tick...tick...

“Hey...please...answer me, Tsunagu, what are you doing- what are you planning?” Shinya anxiously questioned, his voice becoming shaky and unstable from the thoughts that flooded his mind.

The blond man felt as if someone had taken a spear and sent it flying through his heart, shattering what was left of his confidence and breaking his strength into pieces, as he listened to the smaller mans panicked words.

Tick...tick...

Gazing down for one last time at his partner who was standing by his side, he let his hand slip out of the younger mans grasp and felt his body rush towards the deafening sound, just after telling Shinya the last words he’d ever hear from him.

“It’s going to be okay- it’s all going to be alright, okay? I love you, I love you so much- please don’t blame yourself for this-”

Shinya felt his body tremble at the words that his partner had just said to him. ‘No no no- god no please!’

He tried to call out but his voice didn’t make any sound. He tried to run towards him but his body wouldn’t move. All he could do...was watch.

‘Tsunagu!’

—————————

Tick.

Switching back to the present, Tsunagu felt his mind implode as he tried to focus on everyone’s faces and the people he loved all at once.

Tick.

‘Keigo...I’m so happy I got to see you grow. To see you all happy now and finally free from those who locked you away from the world....’ he gazed at the winged man. They had shared so many laughs and even through the toughest of times, he had always been there to lighten things up when they got too dark. ‘I’m sorry....I’m not going to be there for you. And you won’t even be able to sit through my endless puns anymore...well, I guess that’s not a bad thing...heh.’

Tick.

‘Rumi, there’s been so many times where I wish we could’ve gotten along better...but the times when we found something to laugh about? We couldn’t stop laughing to save the world! And there’s nothing I wouldn’t do just to laugh like that one more time...’ Tsunagu felt his eyes soften at the memories of those times. They never failed to find things that made them howl with laughter. And that had always been the strongest moments of their friendship. ‘I’m so sorry I can’t be here to laugh with you one last time...’

Tick.

‘Endeavour-san....I know we don’t exactly see eye to eye...and I know that we’ve had plenty of misunderstandings. But despite everything, you are a strong hero...and it’s been a pleasure to fight by your side whenever the time came.’

Tick!

‘Oh god, please-’ Tsunagu’s heart started to race even faster than it already was.

Tick!

‘Ecto, Higari-san...I’m sorry, I can’t keep my promise, you won’t get the chance to see me get married...but please know, that ever since that day, I’ve never been happier at the thought that I could someday be as happy as you two...and make you proud...I’m sorry...say goodbye to little Yuna for me...she’s a strong kid...a strong kid....’ Tsunagu felt tears start to drip down his cheeks. He’d been there to see the two of them get married all those years ago, and they had insisted that he promised to let them be there for his own wedding. They felt proud of how far he had come, and Tsunagu felt ashamed that he couldn’t even keep his promise.

Tick!

Married. They were going to get married. Him and Shinya were going to get married.

Tick!

They’d been planning it for months and had finally set a date. Only life always had a way of interrupting these things...as pro heroes.

Tick!

They didn’t mind though. They just had to stay alive for each other so that they might get to see that day...

Tick!

Stay alive...

Tick!

Stay alive...

Tick!

Stay alive!

Tick!

‘NO NO NO!!!’

Tick!

Tsunagu scrambled to gather his thoughts before it was too late, snapping his head around to face his partner, tears now streaming down his face as he struggled to breathe.

TICK!

‘Shinya...love, I...shit- I can’t breathe...please-’

TICK!

‘I have no time, I-’

TICK!

‘I love you...I love you so so much, I’m so sorry...’

TICK!

‘I’m sorry, I promised you so many things and I couldn’t even keep them...’

TICK!

‘I’m sorry, it all ended up how you feared- I’m sorry it couldn’t be different-’

TICK!

‘I tried so hard to help you move away from your past, but in the end I’m just bringing it straight back to you-’

TICK!

‘Please stay alive for me-’

TICK!

‘Stay strong for me-’

TICK!

‘I love you...I love-’

TICK!

‘Oh god-’

TICK!

‘No please-’

TICK!

‘I NEED MORE TIME-’

TICK!!

‘Ai- I’m sorry for the pain-‘

TICK!!

‘I’m so sorry for all the pain I’ve ever caused you...my recklessness-’

TICK!!!

‘You are the best sister anyone could ask for-’

TICK!!!

‘Mother-’

TICK!!!

‘Wait-’

TICK!!!

‘Shit!’

TICK!!!

‘Father, I’m-’

TICK!!!

‘I CAN’T- oh god, please please no-’

TICK!!!

‘MY FAMILY-’

TICK!!!

‘I NEED TO SEE THEM-’

TICK!!!

‘I LOVE-’

TICK!!!

‘I LOVE YOU-’

TICK!!!

‘PLEASE NO-’

TICK!!!

‘I NEED MORE TIME!’

TICK!!!

‘I need more time-’

TICK!!!

‘I need more...’

TICK!!!

Tsunagu felt his silent screams grow faint as he pulled what was left of his strength together to cover the house in anything he could to contain the blast. It was all he could do.

TICK!!!

His mind now stripped bare of any thoughts, the only thing that was left, was the image of the man that stood in front of him.

TICK!!!

Shinya.

TICK!!!

Standing there, his eyes streaming and his mouth open, imitating an empty scream.

TICK!!!

Clutching Tsunagu’s locket that he had slipped into his hand before he ran off.

TICK!!!

The locket that held Tsunagu’s own words, the words that only Shinya could read once the other was gone.

TICK!!!

The locket that he had slipped his engagement ring onto the chain so that Shinya could hold it close to himself once again.

TICK!!!

The locket that held their memories....their love....

TICK!!!

Tsunagu locked eyes with the other man and smiled.

TICK!!!

He was glad....glad that his dying moments, would allow him to gaze upon the person he loved the most.

TICK!!!

He was grateful, that he could smile at Shinya one last time.

TICK!!!

Closing his eyes, Tsunagu took a deep breath in and took a step backward, allowing the whole house to be engulfed in one massive explosion...

‘...time...’

BOOM!!!

—————————

Watching as the house went up in flames, Shinya felt himself start to fall to his knees. He felt the others around him start to rush about. Some running towards the house, some comforting each other, and some...some gently edging towards him, knowing how much pain he was in.

He could feel Hana’s hands try and steady him as she saw his stance falter.

He could hear the rage in Ryuko’s voice as she cursed the heavens for what fate they had given them.

To one side, he could see what was now left of the top 5, mostly frozen in shock. Keigo and Rumi turning to Shinya in realisation and rushing over to catch him...Endeavour was standing there....remorse in his eyes but clearly unable to process what had happened.

To the other side, he could feel the hurt in two particular teachers’ voices as they clutched onto each other in pain, in regret, their other hero colleagues joining them as they stood paralysed in horror. ‘His promise....I was going to be part of that promise....I was going to...’

There was no more ticking...there was only pain, and the ringing silence left from the absence of the other.

Looking down at the locket that he clutched tightly in his hand, he remembered the final words that Tsunagu said to him.

“-I love you...”

He never got to reply sooner.

He never got to move quicker.

He never got to tell him one last time.

Tears clouding his vision, he screamed out at the pain his heart was in, only no sound could be heard.

Reaching out, he whispered his reply.

“...I love you too...”
