I came up with my own thoughts from watching the first episode of Helluva Boss season 2: So...Striker should kill Stella, not Stolas. She deserves to be assassinated more than Stolas and being betrayed again is suitable. How shall it be done? While Striker attempts to murder Stolas, Moxxie and Millie (those who were assaulted by him in the last fight) should knock sense into Striker, causing him to lose balance, and accidentally snipe Stella instead of Stolas. He then realizes Stolas actually is a great king, thus sparing him and joining IMP.

❝  have you even taken the time to let yourself feel it?  everything that’s been happening.  eventually,  you have to slow down and let it feel real.  ❞

For Nyra because I feel great potential for good old hurt/comfort!

why yes it's the dear old commander

not very spoilery i think it's just vaguely champions right

At first, their stares are in awe. How does she do it? She's always on her feet, does she even sleep? Does she ever stop? Tireless, involved, is she even human anymore, it must be Aurene's aid, no it's her own willpower. She trains with soldiers, she works with tacticians, she mediates, she watches for signs of danger, she's here, she's there, she's everywhere. She's the first to wake and last to go to bed.

Then, they're frowning in worry. Like bloodhounds, they sense the breaking of the seams. They sense her worsening moods and violent stares. Nobody dares contradict her. They're scared of her. Does she ever stop, does she ever sleep? No, Nyra wants to say, I don't because dreams are frightening, because if I stop I'll fall apart. It's old habits kicking in again; it's the troubled and restless limbs; it's the overwhelming feeling that if she stops, it will all fall apart. Must outrun, her instincts scream, run, what good are those legs for if not for trying to outrun yourself, why are they so restless then, what good is a leader who doesn't persevere? What good is a hero after it's all gone to shit? What good?

And she should know better, she knows better, she knows what it is. It's stress, it's the impending doom, the anxious wait. It's the losses going up. It's the fact she can't do anything more than she's already doing. And she's losing herself in it.

You can do it, Alysannyra Ainsaph, her own voice taunts.

Do what? she gurgles against the water that suffocates. Do what?

No answer. So in order not to drown in it, she doesn't dare stop.

And the loop starts again.

And one day, suddenly, the dam breaks. Phlunt says something, she doesn't even know what, and it breaks. She flings herself at him like an enraged beast, breaks his chair till it's little pieces, holds him by the ear and screams at it all while he's whimpering and shouting in pain. It takes Rytlock, Logan and Trahearne's minion to overpower her; their grip doesn't relent till she stops trashing and begins shaking instead, staring at the ground with the insistent taste of tears on her tongue.

"I--" she begins pitifully. I couldn't do it. Whatever it is. "I--"

"You're okay, Nyra," Logan says gently, removing sweaty hair from her face. She clings to him, shaking like a leaf, hiccuping from sobs. Everyone stares at her, fear in their eyes. They're afraid of me. Gods, they're afraid of me. Good Gods, what have I done?

Trahearne's voice is firm and authoritative. "Logan, Rytlock, can you take over for a bit?" he asks, but it's really an order. Even drained as she is, she can't help but feel a smidge of pride. Rytlock growls affirmatively at the same time as Logan's nod, though he doesn't let go of her till Trahearne comes closer.

Raw, Nyra attaches herself to him as soon as she can, not trusting herself to handle her own despair. He gently leads her away, holding her close, whispering soft things into her hair. He feels like an anchor, a lifeboat, a wooden board she clings to not to drown.

"They're scared of me," she croaks once she finds her voice again. "Good Gods, Trahearne, what have I done? What have I done? Lyssa's slippers, what have I--"

"We'll talk once we sit down, okay, Lyss?" he interrupts.

She nods weakly. He sits her down in their little room and removes himself from her. "Don't go," she shouts desperately and reaches out her hand, "please, don't go!"

"I'll be back, Lyss," he promises gently and she retracts her hand. She nods again, feeling utterly stupid, and focuses on breathing. In and out. In and out. In and out. She wants to stop shaking so badly, but tears aren't relenting. She digs her face into her palms and breathes loudly. In and out. In and out.

Then she feels him sit beside her and push something into her hands. Smell of tea, a precious wartime resource, fills the room. "You needn't have to," she says quietly. "It's-- We need that. Not for me, but for-- for those war veterans, you know? Those who don't like bombs going off and rifles going off and they've still come, you know, not for me."

"What are you, then?" he asks, folding a hand over hers. "Drink. No, seriously, if you aren't a war veteran, what are you? A Vigil recruit?"

"A Warmaster," she replies.

"Warmaster. Not War recruit. I'd say you deserve it just as much as them."

She sighs and drinks a sip. He wipes her cheeks dry as much as he can. "You're being awfully nice to someone who almost killed an ally of hers," she points out.

"Between you and me, Nyra, he deserved it. Put some fear into those self-absorbed bones. Besides," he adds seriously, "you had to hit a roadblock somewhere."

"I know, I should've done better. I know better. It just got the best of me. I wanted to stop, I just didn't know how. Or where. Or why. But I wanted to. I swear."

"Do note my lack of judgement for you in my statement," he offers. She takes another sip of the tea. "But I don't think we can talk about that yet. For now, what I want you to do is just calm down. Take your time. We can talk about that in the morning."

She grumbles into the cup. He's right, of course. Doesn't help her feel less like shit, though. She slurps down another big sip and pushes the cup in his hands before going to lay on his lap in clumsy, heavy move. He's quick to run gentle fingers through her hair and they both descend into a comforting silence.

Comforting enough that, after a while, she finally closes her eyes and drifts off into sleep.

Hawks x f!reader -> Cockwarming

Event Masterlist

a/n: soft hawksie, comfort, slice of life <3, cockwarmin.

there are times your work, your day absolutely drains the fuck out of you. you want nothing more than keigo and to be covered in the duvet of his wings. today you were late from work, reaching home at 10 pm. it was irritating— you were drained and your shoulders were slumped, keigo noticed the lack of ease and effortlessness in your body language and facial expressions in the morning itself. a sudden murmur when he wore his hero jacket, “why don’t you take an off from work sweetie? take my card and spoil yourself a bit mm?” keigo tried, but you dismissed his proposal. “no, im good thanks kei” your smile also seemed forced—

now that you had returned home, keigo came over to you immediately. wearing his grey joggers and a white tee. fuck he didn’t even have to try !! he was so ethereal. the blazing sun had toned down in japan & keigo’s golden tan with it. you walked towards him, hugging him eagerly. a musical chuckle escaped him as his hands groped your back, “aww~ my cute little birb.” he mumbles, leaning back and kissing your lips softly, melting away your stress and worries. “dinner?” he muses, tucking a stray strand of your hair behind your ear.

“mhm, what do we have?” you asked him, nuzzling against his palm when he cupped your face. “mm, whatever you want is what we have. keigo’s kitchen especially catered to his baby girl.” he grinned. you love that he addressed himself as keigo and not ‘hawks’ in front of you.

“some chicken soup.” you hummed, smiling back at him tenderly, through tired eyes.

“gotcha~” he took out his phone to check for outlets and you chuckled, “hey now, wasn’t this keigo’s kitchen?” keigo bit his lip, blushing with a grin. “yes it is, just out sourcing some stuff.” he winked, sounding exactly like the man of your dreams — oh wait, he is.

the dinner came in quick, by the time you were out of the shower, a stray plume caressed your cheek, making you giggle as you paved your way towards the dining area. “dinner is ready missy, sit down.” keigo looked at you, still in the bathrobe and whistled. “oh my~” you blushed and rolled your eyes at his antics, sitting down and having dinner with your husband. things seem so great when you start counting these little moments that life awards you with your man.

once the dinner was finished, where you talked to him about work, he talked about his— well, as much as he could share of course. you got up. flustered at what you’re about to ask. “wanna, cockwarm.” the words came out of your mouth easy. keigo smirked, “mm? want to feel daddy that close huh?” you nodded, blushing and looking down.

you nodded, looking into his eyes because you know he likes it. “yeah, wan’- wan’ to feel you close keigo.” you looked down, fuck his siren gaze with his marked golden eyes made you shiver. “and too tired for the whole sex.” you pouted, while keigo observed you in awe.

“mkay, if my sweet little girl wants that, who the hell am i to deny her demands? don’t want to be a bad daddy to my kid.” he winked, carrying you bridal style, a low purr escaping him when you lean against his chest as he took you to your shared bedroom.

“looks like gotta work you up first mm? how else are you gonna take daddy’s cock?” keigo smirked, oh he had no filter at times… you pouted, quite impatient and wanting to feel stretched & full already. after all these years with you, keigo has become an excellent mind reader. “okay okay~ let me get the lube, mm?” he cooed, pulling the knot of your bath suit and kissing your exposed tits. tugging at your nipples just to check how far he could go with them. they get really sensitive depending upon the time of the month & keigo doesn’t want to hurt his darling.

spreading your legs, pupils dilating in anticipation, keigo lubed up your pretty pussy and groaned when you arched your back at him rubbing your clit. “there she is, there she is.” he hums, spreading your cunt lips and thrusting himself in slowly. you arched your back and whined, gasping at the stretch. “fuck— i can’t.” you moaned when keigo pressed your pelvis, making you feel just how deep he’s reaching.

“that’s it sweetness, that’s it. ssh~ you’re taking it so well.” he crooned, kissing your neck and stilling. your eyes were glossing up. overwhelmed by the smouldering amount of love keigo showers you with. “i love you.”

“i love you too.” he said it like a silent prayer, smiling tenderly at you and leaning beside, adjusting your position & kissing your forehead deeply. “cute. my cute little angel birdie.” he smiled, kissing your eyelids. “let it go for me okay? all your worries, all your stress. because i’d always be here.”

and he’ll always be there for you. <3 you don’t doubt that.

Remember the female Kalim in the remarried empress.

🌞Remember how the sultan in aladin stuffed those crackers down iago his throat what if she did this in the beginning of meeting qween(because she can't lie she uses it as a excuse that queen wants a cracker. )

https://youtu.be/qFWRyJGxYzg

🌞Imagen her coming back for a visit and letting navier and heinley go on the flying carpet and heinley being the pilot because of his flying experience(poor mckenna flying behind them for safety reasons ) .

🌞Her teaching them the song and whole new word because this couple is so adorable and deserve to fly on a carpet and take their mind off the eastern empire drama.

🌞Her showing pictures of her 30+ siblings and her being the inosent sunshine she is saying I hope you have also so many children to navier and heinley so she can spoil them (that's after she learnt navier was pregnant.)

🌞Her giving navier a book on how to speak with animals (especially birb) and her trying to learn in with heinley in his queen form (I can imagine her being ether really good or her acedently making a cute mistake. )

🌞How would the relationship between her and kosiar be like now she can come visit them more I'm interested.

🌞How would the 2 gremlins of the eastern empire react to her return and the news of her letting navier and heinley fly on the carpet and how the intre Western empire found them so adorable.

I’m going to mess with the request a little bit so that it doesn’t seem choppy. 

Sovieshu

When he had caught word from some merchants that ‘The Jewel of Luipt is back for good’, he knew that he had to see you again. So, he invited you (and Duke Kaufman) to the Eastern Empire. Upon seeing you just as joyful as you were last time, and that you were permanently staying in this realm, he was hoping you would reconsider his offer of becoming his mistress.

However, you stated that you could never imagine doing something like that to Rashta, as she was his new bride after divorcing Navier. Plus, the Grand Duke refused in your place once again. Kaufman has been appointed as your guardian as he takes you around (really to Kosair, but anyways), so he thought it would be irresponsible of him to get you involved in a bunch of Imperial drama.

But, that doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t continue your friendship with the Emperor. During one of the days you were staying in the Eastern Empire, you were sitting in the garden and sifting through photos of your many siblings. Sovieshu noticed and sat next to you, and you started talking about how much you would miss your family back home. That’s when he noticed a golden engagement ring on your left hand, and his heart shattered.

Guess who popped open a new bottle of whiskey that night as he saw the woman that he ‘loved’ (read: was currently infatuated with) slip away from his grasp into another man’s arms: Kosair Trovi. It wasn’t like he could do anything about it, considering that the man was in the Western Kingdom and under the jurisdiction of a different ruler entirely.

Rashta

Upon hearing that her husband had invited you to the Eastern Empire, she let out a gasp and a tear at how scared she was that Sovieshu would ask you to become his mistress. To be fair, she would be getting a taste of her own medicine, but you would be taking her original place in the palace. So, her super-pregnant self was very paranoid.

You, thankfully, reject Sovieshu’s ‘proposal’(?), saying that it would be wrong to do Rashta and their child like that. The Empress let out a sigh of relief upon hearing your answer, but she still couldn’t help but be scared that the Emperor would grow bored of her and continue to pursue your heart. It could honestly be qualified as a phobia at this point.

Eventually, during your stay, you request to visit her in her chambers. She let you in, and you both had a nice chat. You even said that you hoped she would have multiple children that you could spoil, and you even brought out some pictures of your siblings to show her. But, what you didn’t know was that as you were showing her photo after photo, you caused her to panic. She was flooded with the memory of Ian and she started hyperventilating.

The only thing that served her any comfort was the engagement ring around your finger. You were taken by another man, and you seemed to be happy with that. But she could tell that Sovieshu was distraught at this discovery. You didn’t seem to wish them any ill will, and once you had to set sail for the Western Kingdom you even gave her a hug and bid her good luck with the pregnancy. 

Navier

She was very excited to hear that you were back in the realm from your travels, and immediately sent an invitation to both you and Grand Duke Kaufman. Upon seeing you, she pulled you into her arms and into a hug, one that you gladly reciprocated almost immediately. It was like seeing your older sister again after years of being apart.

You told her about your visit to the Eastern Empire and how Sovieshu asked you to be his mistress, but you turned him down because your heart was in the hands of another man. Navier smiled as she remembered who you were referencing. She knew that her brother had been heartbroken ever since you left, so she saw an opportunity and our lovely lady is smart enough to take it.

During your 7th day in your new home, you requested an audience with the Queen in the palace gardens. This is where she would tell you she was pregnant and you would tell her that you missed your family back in Twisted Wonderland. You pulled out pictures of your siblings and showed them to her, but got restless as you exclaimed that you hope she and Heinrey have multiple children so you could spoil your nieces and nephews.

Once she saw the golden engagement ring on your hand, she let out a small gasp as she gently held your hand in hers to admire it. You made an uncharacteristically quiet comment about how she would ‘officially be your sister-in-law’ with a smile on your face, and she smiled at the irony. She was indeed very happy for you and her brother, and she couldn’t wait to see your journey.

Heinrey

Navier had told him that you were back, and he sent out a ship to collect both you and the Grand Duke Kaufman free of charge. He was there himself in the shape of Queen, but once you spotted him you greeted him by shoving crackers in his mouth as a gesture of gratitude. He squawked in surprise as he choked the dry crackers down his throat.

The two of you had a very close friendship because you were the one who helped him out when he was still trying to win over Navier’s heart. You told him about your visit to the Eastern Empire and how Sovieshu tried to get you to become his mistress, and the man rolled his eyes and said ‘typical’. He jokingly said that you didn’t have to worry about that because his heart was in his Queen’s hands and in her hands only.

After you had arrived and got settled in, Heinrey and Navier announced that there would soon be two children in the palace, and you let out a squeal of excitement at the thought of spoiling your future niece and nephew. You showed the two that you were capable of being a babysitter and showed them pictures of all your siblings and how you had a close bond with each of them.

When you got engaged to Kosair, Heinrey deemed it necessary to celebrate your engagement. He swears that he has never seen his brother-in-law smiling so much like how he did when he was just looking at you. The bird-man walked up to Kosair and put his hand on his shoulder as they both stared at you and Navier who were talking to each other: two simps in love.

Kosair

When he heard that you were back in the realm, he swore his heart started beating again. This man sent a letter to Luipt with a golden engagement ring attached, and in the letter he told you that he didn’t want to know your answer until you arrived at the Western Kingdom. So, until your family’s ship docked, he was waiting each day at the wharf.

Once you got there and the ramp was put down, you let out a scream of excitement as you saw him. You just about ran to him, grabbed his face, and pulled him into a kiss. The kiss went on until you both ran out of air and the Grand Duke Kaufman cleared his throat. But you then showed him your ring finger and he let out a gasp of happiness upon seeing the ring he sent you.

The two of you announced it to Heinrey and Navier once you got settled in the Western Kingdom, and the two were happy for you both. Heinrey threw a celebration for your engagement, and what you didn’t know was that while you and your future sister-in-law were talking to each other, your fiancé and your future brother-in-law were staring at the two of you like fools in love.

But, as time went on, you grew to find yourself missing Twisted Wonderland. Kosair sensed your growing sadness and you said that you missed your family and that they had no idea that you were about to be married. One day, he found you looking through pictures that you had brought with you, and he asked who the people in the photos were. You said that they were your 30+ siblings, and his eyes went wide at the number. You said that they would all love having him as a brother-in-law, and it made him flustered.

[f1-disaster-bi]

A small little fic for @f1-birb because her actual get well soon fic is gonna take some time ❤️

"So Daniel, are the rumours true?"

Daniel pulled a confused face. He blinked at the reporter that had stopped him in his way out of the paddock. He'd been lost in his own thoughts, excited to get back to the hotel and taking a long bubble bath with his husband. He wasn't expecting anyone to talk to him on his way out.

"Uh, what rumours?", Daniel asked, his still recovering hand cradled carefully against his stomach as he smiled at them.

"Well, both you and Norris haven't been wearing your wedding rings lately. He wasn't seen at the hospital eith you before or after surgery, so the rumour is that you have divorced quietly after realising your marriage was a mistake", the reporter grinned, a sleepy look in his eyes that made Daniel want to scowl but he didn't.

Instead he squared his shoulders, preparing for battle but before he could even open his mouth, Lando appeared beside him, wrapping an arm around his waist.

"We can't wear rings in the car, and after almost losing them, we've stared wearing them on chains", Lando smiled but it was all fire and protectivness in his eyes as he used his free hand to pull his chain freebof his shirt, displaying his ring, "There haven't been pictures of us because I have been focused on helping my husband recover instead of snapping pictures for the 'gram"

Daniel felt a tingle run down his spine.

He loved when Lando got like this. Everyone always expected to be able to bully or walk all over the younger man, they never expected him to be able to stand up against bullshit like this. They expected him to joke it off, but he didn't.

And Daniel loved that about him as he leaned down to kiss his cheek before beaming at the reporter.

"As you can see, we're still happily married and pissing off homophobes everywhere", Daniel laughed, tucking Lando into his side, "In fact, we adopted our daughter six months ago and couldn't be happier"

The reporter spluttered as Lando groaned. His husband buried his face in his hands as Daniel smiled, pulling out his phone to pull up a picture of their little girl to show the stunned reporter the proof.

"This is our little girl. Her name is Pit Stop, Pit for short", Daniel held up his phone, showing off a picture of Lando being booped on the noise by the sweetest looking little cream coloured Siamese kitten with grey around her ears and her blue eyes, "Isn't She the sweetest thing?"

The reporter was shocked into silence, looking between the two of them as Daniel showed a video of Pit playing with a little ball with a feather sticking out of it.

"Daniel, Daniel we discussed this. You can't keep telling people we have a kid", Lando burst out into laughter. The kind that made his cheeks pink and his whole body shake in a way Daniel found adorable.

"But she's our baby girl!", Daniel chuckled, waving at the speechless reporter as he tossed an arm around Lando's shoulders and started to guide him towards the drivers car park.

"You're unbelievable", Lando brushed away a few tears from his eyes as he shook his head.

"You say that as if you don't love me"

"No, I do. So fucking much, you weirdo"

"Cheers cunt, I guess you're alright too"

She’s loyal and friendly and sees padawans as a Jedi's friend, as well as a student. She really likes kids. She still holds the council in high regard and will not disrespect direct orders even if she doesn’t agree with them unless they conflict with her core values. Has a similar view of them as Obi-Wan. She promotes emotional stability opposed to emotional suppression and sees love and attachments as a strength when handled in healthy ways. She has a tendency to come across as monotone or blunt when not meaning to, causing others to read her tone incorrectly. She’s also quite sarcastic.

A year before the clone war begin Gen was kicked out of the order after it was discovered that he had a spouse. Jinera was angry with the council and left the order without permission from the them, in solidarity with him, going to Corellia where she married Aaron and changed her name to Julana Drace.

She gifted her light saber hilt to her daughter, telling her that one day she would find a Kyber crystal of her own to power it.

in the wake of the empire, her and her husband are killed by an inquisitor and her daughter is taken by Darth Vader.

Ask Game: List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers :)

Ooh, thank you for this ask! I like it! 💕

Five things that make me happy are:

I have a border collie mix named Talaria and a cream tabby called Tingum. The cat lives with my husband in the Bahamas most of the time (long story, but we're happily married) so I miss him a lot when they're on-island.

Writing! I've been in a non-sims slump for a long time which hasn't been amazing for my career, but my motivation is back and that makes me incredibly happy.

Rainy days. I live in Florida so they're fairly few and far between most of the year, but we're coming up on rainy season and I can't wait.

All things Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I like her as an actor, but I especially love her writing. I strive to write more like she does but I don't think I'm there yet.

Birbs! All of them. Even the mean ones.

[ravensim]

GUYS IT HAPPENED AGAIN 🥰

For those who have followed me for a while have seen my birb updates.

TLDR- I started feeding a wounded pigeon 1 year ago, but after a few days she started bringing her husband lmao. (she's ok now!) After that she showed me all her baby birds, and today she showed me #5. I'm always so honored when they trust me enough to come show me their little baby! Here's a picture!

Demon Bride Ch51 Urogi Earns A Day Out

(Warnings: Karaku IS his own warning. Possibly some innuendos. Urogi hits his head flying into the ceiling but he's ok.  WARNING!!!: Sakura was going to give Karaku a love potion but he's ok and nothing else happened, she didn't even get a chance to try to but this warning is important just in case.

Get ready for Urogi to act like a birb.

Important Edit: I ask everyone to have patience for future chapters since some irl things are taking place. At the same time I am working on a second story and two oneshots for other fandoms I enjoy. Thank you all for reading this and continuing to read my works. Hopefully things will straighten back to they're usual pace soon.)

"I think she might be too young to train. It seems like all she's doing for now is eating and sleeping like a young puppy."

"When can she play?"

"Not until she's a few months older. Don't worry about it. Just take care of her the way Sekido told you to and she'll be fine...Minus the training bit for now."

It was certainly a  surprise for you to see Rui and Sekido not only get along for a little while but actually talk. Well...Sekido mostly talked at Rui while he played with his many toys and the sleepy puppy. Sekido went as far as to assign a specific servant to care for said puppy. It was nice to not have them fight and not be at each other's throats. But that was last night. Now it was morning and Rui had to go back to school. You caught him trying to sneak out both the puppy and a few of the toys he gotten. You took them from him, he threw a small fit, and eventually he then left pouting  without them all leaving you alone. Well except for the puppy. Arachnid Rui called he if you remembered right. She just flopped over in a random part of the room and went back to sleep. Leaving you to just do whatever it was you usually did.  Read. So there you were reading a book Aizetsu recommended you, some kind of murder mystery thing.

"The murderer is either the Stepmother-in-law or the farm hand since they're the only ones with motives. Unless they worked together then it'd be both of them," you spoke to no one in particular, "It could be the Husband but he really loved his wife despite her affair and he doesn't know about the death yet... Unless he hired someone to murder her! It's possible. I wonder if Kyogai wrote anything like this before."

No one answered you obviously. No one was there except for you, the puppy, and the lilies Sekido shoved into your hands the other day. It was silent except for you talking to yourself and the sounds of you turning the pages whenever you finished reading one. You just sat there and kept reading the book as time slowly began to stretch onwards. Until there was a very familiar sound at your door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!

You looked up slightly annoyed from your book and stared at the door as more knocking continued from the other side. Great. Who could that be now? Still couldn't be Douma. He would've blabbered talking by now...Sigh. It was probably one of the brothers again. You groaned before placing your book to the side and standing up to head to the door. More knocking louder this time.

"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" You grabbed the door and pulled it open. "What do you-..." You blinked. Pausing as no one was there. "...want?"

No one was there? You blinked again before shaking your head and leaning your head out to look up and down the halls. No one was there. Not even a servant. The perfectly polished halls stood empty and devoid of all life. That was... strange. You could've SWORN you heard someone knocking. You know you did. Was this a joke? You would've heard someone run away from the door if they did. Unless they could float or turn invisible. Was there a ghost running around? Was the dwell haunted?! ...Or maybe it was just your ears playing tricks on you after you've been bothered so MANY times? You sighed and was about to close the door when something suddenly dropped from the ceiling in a blur of black and brown feathers 

"HI!"

"AHHH!!" 

You shrieked as a face suddenly appeared in front of your face and scared you into screaming at the top of your lungs and stumbling back tripping over yourself and falling onto your behind panting and staring wide eyed at a- ... Laughing face?? What? You blinked panting as loud laughter filled the air and you stared at a figured hanging upside down, holding his sides, and laughing wildly at you. It took you a few seconds to register who exactly it was but then you scowled.

"UROGI!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"The harpy brother of the quadruplets was there hanging upside down like a bat laughing his head off at you. Urogi of you remembered correctly. You immediately stood up and marched up to him. "I ought to kick your ass!"

"HAHAHAHA!! You should've seen your face!," Urogi cackled pointing a talon at your face as you rose a brow and looked up. "I made you jump so high!"

"Uh huh." So that's how he did it. He was clinging to one of the wooden beams above you both by his feet talons. Your hand was held up and your own claws reached out. "It's just too bad you're so low." With that you harshly pinched your claws into his left bird leg.

"YEOWCH!! AH!!" He lost his footing and down he fell in a heap of feathers with a loud thud. "OOF!!"

You didn't give him another chance to speak before the door was closed in his face. Urogi cursed indignantly before scrambling up and opening your door to walk in and meet your annoyed, cross armed, and frowning face. You watched him ruffle his feathers and shake a bit before looking at you again with a big smile.

"That's no way to treat your date is it?"

"No it isn't! And you're not getting one for that stupid stunt you pulled!" You glared at him as he suddenly froze mouth open. "If that's your way of asking a lady out for a date then I'd hate to see how you'd ask for anything else! Now get out!"

"What?! N-N-NO! WAIT!" You turned your back to him only to hear a few panicked flapping of wings before he popped up again to your side smiling nervously. "Look! Sorry I scared you! I-I was only trying to make a funny joke!"

"Well I didn't find it funny at all!" You again turned away and again he followed looking nervous to pop up in your view.

"Ok! You don't like being scared! I get that now! But don't hold it over my head! Let's go out and have fun! " you have him a glare and again turned away and he followed you holding up his hands. "I'll make it up to you! We can go wherever you want! How about the green houses? Or a dress shop?! Girls like that right?!"

You hummed.. before looking at him raising a brow. "I don't know if I want to go out since Sekido was nice enough to do that with me just yesterday. Why are you here anyways?"

"It's my turn to court ya! My old man said so! He didn't say when I had to come over, so the sooner the better right?"

You still narrowed your eyes at him. "Uh huh...And you want to earn a chance with me?"

"Aw. C'mon, Dove!" He smiled wider in an almost pleading way. "I already said I was sorry! A-And I promise to make it up to you! Anything you want!"

You huffed rolling your eyes. "How about taking me outside so I can see the sun for once?"

"DEAL!" You blinked and stared at him as he smiled brightly and nodded. "I needed to stretch my wings anyways! Do you know how hard it is to fly in a place that at any moment a whole house can appear in front of you? So this is a good idea for both of us!" 

"Wha-..." You shook your head before pointing at him. "Hang on. Really?!" He happily nodded. "No. Seriously. You're not just telling me that and then twisting my words later?"

"Nah! I'm getting bored just staying inside this place anyways. It's boring and I can't move around how I want. My back is starting to hurt from dragging my wings around and my feet hurt from walking around so much." He held up one of his feet and made grabbing motions to get his point across. "It'd be nice to get out again!"

You could..go out? As in outside OUTSIDE!? AS IN NOT INSIDE THE INFINITY CASTLE?! You eyes widened at the possibility of that. Purple eyes looked Urogi up and down cautiously. The last time you were out was with Enmu and he purposely didn't let you know a way out so you couldn't leave whenever you want. But...If Urogi could show you a way out and you could remember it..You could possibly have a way out! That could be an escape way for you and Rui! But it all depends on how you play your cards with Urogi. He could end up with the jack of cards for fooling around too much but if you messed up then you'd just be handing over a full house of aces into his awaiting talons. These demons were a LOT smarter than they looked. You learnt that the hard way from Douma. Urogi may be an arrogant demon that liked to play around but that didn't make him stupid. You had to approach this very carefully and cleverly.

With a calm sigh, you looked back to Urogi's hopeful grin and nodded. "Alright. I accept your apology and you've earnt a day with me." You then pointed at him sternly. "BUT there better NOT be anymore jokes like that! I don't like being scared and next time I might throw a punch instead of running away. I'd rather not hurt anyone if I can avoid it. Got it?"

He nodded eagerly. "DONE! Where do you wanna go outside?! Human settlement? Woods? Maybe the Coast-..Uh..Yeah. Maybe not anywhere near water. But I can definitely take you for a fun time!"

Well he seemed very energetic didn't he? "Anywhere would be fine. Although somewhere nice and bright would be a nice start."

"Woods it is then! There's so much to do there! Hunting, fishing, finding small crystals in caves- HEY! I KNOW THIS GIANT FIELD WITH LOTS OF FLOWERS AND STUFF!! YOU'D LOVE IT!! SOMETIMES THERE'S OTHERS THAT SELLS STUFF THERE!!"

"Why would someone set up shop in a random field I'm the middle of the woods?"

"Sometimes it's a hot spot for travelers or just used for giant meetings to sell useless stuff nobody wants! But you'll like it definitely! You wanna go now!?" He lit up brightly. "We can go now!" 

You nodded making a mental note to remember which way Urogi brought you outside for later. "Alright then. Now." You gestured to him. "Lead the way." 

He smiled and grabbed your arms pulling you after him Towards your door as his wings spread out and up enough to block the view of the door completely before he stopped. One of his clawed feet slid open the door and he proceeded to pull you out. Before completely dropping his wings.

You completely froze.....You blinked.

Lush green brush surrounded you both as the sounds of birds and wind and forest ambience hit your senses all at once. Tall trees swayed in the wind. Grass felt soft under your feet. REAL sunlight gleamed down everywhere and you stared... Before whipping around only to discover that the doorway and entire room was gone and replaced by BEAUTIFUL lush forest. You just stared before slowly looking at Urogi who only giggled at the sight.

"Ok. HOW did you do that ?!"

"Simple! I bugged Nakime to open a doorway for me once I entered your room! That way we could just go where we needed! I also made her promise to teleport us both back when it hit one in the afternoon! I also promised Sekido I'd spend time with Zoha today! Why not split the day in half?"

You opened your mouth...but closed it. Nakime. Of COURSE that's how Urogi did it. Akaza mentioned that she could teleport the Kizuki around. "...You did that for the sole purpose that I wouldn't know the way out.. Didn't you?"

Urogi's smile turned to a face of shock for a split second before smiling widely again. Can't tell her Muzan have strict orders to Keep an eye on her. "Haha!...Heh. It's a pretty day isn't it?"

"You're making it very obvious that it's a yes, and I'll be talking about it later with Ms. Rei." Urogi  felt his eyes get smaller in worry before you then looked around. You two were in the middle of the woods alright. You slowly breathed in the air holding your arms up to stretch. Everything smelt so...fresh. And it felt so..OPEN AND FREE. "Which way is the field?"

That way three miles by flying." He pointed to the left with a smile. "Let me carry you!" He reached out his sharp hands to you but paused when you immediately stepped away. 

"No thanks. I think you've flown me quite enough."

"What? But flyings the best part!," He insisted holding out his wings. "It'll take too much time just walking there and Nakime might teleport us back by then!'' He whined and gave you a puppy dog eyed look. 

You rolled your eyes. "I'd rather walk and get there without daring heights."

"Dare?" He blinked before suddenly gaining a thoughtful look. A hum escaped his throat and a talon tapped his chin as he smiled slyly smiled before looking at your deadpanned face. "Ok! Let's have a date! It'll be so much fun!"

"Pass."

"Just hear me out first! There's a single pine tree between here and the field one mile where I pointed." He then smirked at you pointing. "If you can run and get there before I can catch you then we'll walk the rest of the way there! If I catch you then you gotta lemme fly you there!"

"So you'll chase me down like a hawk chasing a mouse?" Your brow rose as you hummed at his excited look. "Alright. Deal. But if I win, then you have to wear a dress for the rest of the week!" 

"Oooh.~ Getting bold there, Dove,~" he cooed before nodding with a few chuckles. "Alright then. But just so you know I can totally pull that off!"

"Getting ahead of yourself there?"

"Nah. I meant the dress. My hips are better fitting for it than Sekido's." You blinked as he struck a pose with one hand behind his head and the other on his hip making a ridiculous kissy face. "I'd totally fill it out."

You stared at the ridiculous sight... before a smile forced itself onto your face. "Pfft. Hahaha!!" And a bout of laughter escaped your mouth.

Urogi paused in shock. He... actually wasn't expecting you to laugh. If anything he expected you to be annoyed or brush him off but no. You were smiling and laughing. It made him pause for a moment before smiling widely. 

"Yeah. Sure my wings might be a problem but you can't tell me that I wouldn't look good in it.~" He then placed both hands on his hips and sashayed a little bit aways from you.

You nearly doubled over in laughter now hugging your stomach and leaning over slightly. "Y-Y-Youre r-ridiculous!!" You spoke between rounds of laughter. This was a Kizuki demon? He was utterly ridiculous! "E-Enough! Enough! Hehehe. W-When d-did you wanna s-start?"

He smiled. Wings opening and leaning down pressing his feet in a position to launch himself. "I was thinking maybe about...NOW!!"

FWAP!!!

Two giant wings flapped down. A body launched himself right at you. All the wind left your body as something large hit you. Something strong wrapped around your body. And up you went. You SHRIEKED at the sight of the earth quickly being left behind you. A panic spoke went down your spine as branches snapped and broke from the force of Urogi's body barreling through them and leaves scattered down from the branches almost like a makeshift smoke trail. You logically did the most logical thing any calm, smart woman would do. You shrieked again, threw your arms around Urogi's neck, pulled up your legs in a curled up pose, and buried your face into his shoulder as the demon laughed.

"What's wrong?" Strong wing beats could be heard from each powerful flap his wings took. He looked amused by the sight as he held the trembling woman bridal style. "You showed no fear last time we did this."

"PUT. ME. DOWN!!" You shrieked over the wind and refusing to look up from him. He was oddly warm. "THIS IS CHEATING YOU ASSHOLE!! I WAS DISTRACTED!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"

"I never stated when I would start! And being distracted was your own doing that you'd find me that funny." You didn't respond to him after that and he gently nudged you. "Hey. C'mon, Love bird.~ Don't give me the Silent treatment now. Just take a look at the view."

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I HATE HEIGHTS!! WE'RE PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF FEET OFF THE GROUND BY NOW YOU FLYING CHICKEN!!" 

"Actually, we're just above the trees. That can't be more than two stories off the ground. Look. I can still touch the leaves if I perch." You didn't answer again but slowly opened up one purple eye. Your stomach did flips feeling the strong wind whipping about you making your hair blow all around you. "Trust me. You're not gonna fall...As long as you don't pierce my throat with your foot again. ... Unless you're into that.~" 

You snapped your head up in anger at him. "YOU BIRD BRAIN!! ARE YOU JUST A SECOND KARAKU?!" H smiled seeing your face. "I'm...gonna..." You stopped slowly eyes going wide.. before slowly looking down. And seeing branches and leaves so close you can touch it going by, and past it the ground fat away but much closer than you expected it to be. You slowly inhaled in and out before looking back at Urogi's smiling face. ".... You're DEAD when we land, Urogi "

He giggled and tilted his head. "I doubt that. But now that I have your attention." He nodded out to the air. "Just look at the view."

You didn't want to. You really didn't, but you did. And what you saw made your eyes widen. Purple eyes blinked against the wind until vision refocused and widened at what they saw. The world was going by in blurs. Green trees and land were essential smears as they sped through the air. The wind knocking again your skin so fast it combated the hot rays of the sun right in the big blue sky. It...reminded you a bit of the time Enmu took you on that train ride. You stared out for a moment at the admittedly pretty sight before relaxing a little and breathing a bit easier but you didn't loosen your grip even slightly on him.

"Sooo? Whatcha think?"

"I think I'm still going to kick your ass once we land. It's pretty." You narrowed your eyes at him in a way that made him gulp. "But you're still dead for pulling that stunt."

He chuckled nervously. "Ahehe. You're funny. Just wait til you actually see the place. It's a great spot for hunting rabbits."

Oh you doubted that. He still refused to let you down until you got near an opening in the tree tops and you yelped when he suddenly nose dived dove towards it. FWAP FWAP FWAP!! His wings beat against the wing making you jolt to a stop and he landed on his feet.

"Well here we are, Dove. Quiet and peaceful just like you asked."

You wriggled until he put you down and you have him a glare before looking around. It was a grassy field alright. It looked like a good five houses big and wide all around in a semi circle kinda shape smack dab surrounded by trees and other plants and there seemed to be a little pond of some kind. You looked around at the Peaceful field filled with wild flowers. It was pretty you had to admit. You only wished you brought a book to read while here.

"Well... I'll be honest and say you were right about it being beautiful. Now about that payback I owe you!" You frowned looking behind you..only to blink finding Urogi gone. "...Urogi?" 

Where did he go now? Oh he better not be playing another prank on you! You'd definitely slug him this time! But ..there wasn't any place for him to hide in the field. The grass was too small and he was too big! And you would've heard him if he ran or flew into the trees. Purple eyes looked around until you saw him. Oh. There he was! He was a little bit aways from you... pulling up...grass?? And... jumping?? You blinked and just stood there watching Urogi shuffle about one specific area jumping up and down, stomping in certain areas, and grabbing large handfuls and talonfulls of grasses and nearby small bushes and twisting his head this way and that before stomping again and placing the grass and bush parts and flowers down. 

"Hey, Urogi! What are you doing?!," You called out to him but he didn't respond. 

Just continued to do what he was already doing. It made you raise a brow totally lost and confused... Maybe he was digging? Or dropped something and was trying to find it? After a moment you slowly walked over but stopped a few yards away from him. And blinked at what you saw. It was an almost perfect circle of grass stomped down flat and around the edges of said circle of stomped down grass was a pile of bush branches, leaves, grasses, wild flowers, and whatever else Urogi grabbed. Wow...He was fast. He did all of this in such a short amount of time too. You blinked as he hopped out of the circle and you just....stared at the thing before you..What the heck was this? Was this some kind of weird symbol in demon language or something?

Coo.

Your attention was drawn back to the demon as he finally looked at you. But you could've SWORN that you heard a dove cooing. As soon as you look at him the demon puffed out his chest and his wings splayed out poofing out his feathers and looking proudly.

You just blankly stared at him .....And slowly blinked. "Are you good?"

...He blinked. "Huh?"

"I asked if you were ok?," You said slowly raising a brow and looking between him and the weird... circle thing. "Did those branches hit you too hard on the head when you took off or something? Or maybe you hurt yourself?"

He continued to stare at you. Then at the circle thing. Then back to your confused face- FWAP!  You blinked as a gust of wind hit you as his wings snapped shut and an extremely embarrassed smile strained on his face.

"Haha! Yeah! Totally fine! I was just...Um....C-Clearing a spot away for us to sit! Yeah!," He said quickly smiling at you.

"Um...Ok. That was very nice of you." Your brow rose but decided to drop the subject for now. "So you said this place had lots of rabbits?" You said changing the subject to make it less awkward.

Urogi rolled with it. "Yep! " he quickly relaxed turning himself away from.. from... whatever it was that he had built. "But it doesn't look like there's any today! If you wanna see animals the pond over there usually has fish and frogs and turtles and stuff."

You lit up. "Hey! That sounds great! If you can catch one I can cook it for us!"

THAT made his head snap around in interest immediately wide eyed and jaw smiling. "You can cook fish??"

You nodded. "Been doing it for years. Had to eat somehow. It'll be fun to be able to cook my own food again." You then gestured to where you stood. "You can get the fish and I'll make a small fire pit here. Ok?"

He instantly nodded giving you a thumbs up. "I can absolutely do that! Give me a few minutes and I'll drag you out the biggest fish in there!"

You nodded. "Alright then. I'll leave you to it."

With one last nod and FWAP of his wings, Urogi took off and  flew back toward said pond. Now then. Where could you find some rocks and branches? You ended up finding everything you needed by the edge of the field and in the trees. And you ended up making a small fire pit in the area Urogi flattened out. The flat grass would be a nice place to make a small fire. So the rocks were tightly packed together in a circle, branches were frown in the middle, and with a little elbow grease a small fire was started by you furiously rubbing two sticks together. Ok. Perfect! You heard a distant splash as the fire was first starting but paid it no mind just assuming Urogi was just catching a fish. Urogi did catch a fish. He did bring it back to you. However...He stopped seeing your form standing in the space he flattened out..And instincts he couldn't control bubbled up-

CHIRP!!

You jumped hearing such a loud sparrow like tweet behind you and snapped around only to see...Urogi...Hopping?? You blinked as Urogi again puffed out his just and poofed his feathers up before taking quick bird hops. Three hops to the left and then three hops back to the right. His head tilted in question at you similar to an owl-

CHIRP?

You blinked again as an honest to gods bird chirp left Urogi's throat but it sounded more...questioning before he made his feathers ruffle again and hopped twice backwards, twice back forwards, and cooed like a dove. You just ... stared at him.

"....Ok. Did you  seriously hit your head or is this some weird joke I just don't get?"

He blinked. Your words seeming to snap him out of... whatever state of mind he was in. And he blinked. "...What?"

You rose a brow and crossed your arms. "You literally just started tweeting like a bird.''

"I... N-No I wasn't!" He was quick to straighten up and clear his throat. "Here! I caught you that fish you wanted!" He then quickly thrusted a decent looking bass in one of his taloned hands. "Biggest one in the pond!"

Your pose and expression didn't change. "Ok. Yes you did. I'm not stupid and I clearly made those noises." He suddenly looked embarrassed straining that grin. "What's gotten into you? It's like you're acting like a-..." You slowly froze in realization.

Bird.

Urogi was acting EXACTLY like a bird. Making noises like a sparrow or dove. Hopping around like them too. Your eyes slowly looked down at the flattened circle of grass. This wasn't some kind of symbol. This was a NEST!! Urogi had built a nest! And he kept tweeting and hoping about like a bird would when they-

You slowly looked back to the now red faced demon. "Are you flirting with me...like a bird does?"

SQUAWK?!

An indignant turkey sound left his mouth as his feathers puffed out in shock. If possible his face got even more red. "NO!! I WAS JUST...M-M-MESSING AROUND WITH YOU!!"

"Your red face tells me otherwise." He sputtered as you slowly smiled amused. "Are you serious? Oh that is just too precious!~" Urogi gave a chicken choking sound as you quickly just grabbed his cheeks before he could react and laughed. "That is the cutest thing I've seen since Rui drew me a picture!~

"I-Im not cuuuuu- MMMMMMM!!! CHIRP!! "He quickly cut himself off and chirped again loudly when you brushed a hand over his cheek. Before slapping a taloned hand over his mouth in flustered horror.

You couldn't help but giggle again and continue to coo over his face. "OH MY GODS!! DO THAT AGAIN!! IT'S SO CUTE!!"

He tried to not to..he really did..but he somehow ended up sitting cross-legged holding you in his lap with his wings encasing you giving happy dove coos and thrums as he nuzzled his face into yours. You couldn't believe this. HOW CUTE WAS THIS?! A big bad Kizuki demon acting like a love struck dove. It made you almost forget about his earlier stunts. Almost. The fish was just stuck over the fire impaled by a large stick as you watched it. Until Urogi loosened up his grip to allow you to move and you took the chance to lean forward and turn the fish onto the other side. Nearly ready now- But you paused as you felt sharp talons take a piece of your hair and..Run down it. You blinked. It happened again and again. Urogi gently running a talon down a different part of your hair... before smiling.

"Cute." He froze. "Are you trying to preen me now?"

"...NO!" He squeaked out before pulling his talons away making you giggle. So cute. "B-Besides! If I was preening, WHICH I WASN'T, I -I-Id preen me since my wings have been so dam itchy lately!"

You turned back to him blinking. "Your wings itch? Why?"

He blinked.. before actually pouting and glaring at a wing. "I'm shedding some old feathers. But I can't exactly grip the loose ones with these." He held up his hands. "It's hard enough to write or even eat with them! You think I can even reach the teeny tiny ones in the back?"

"Well...what do you usually do when this happens?"

He shrugged. "Usually Aizetsu or Karaku helps me get them out of I shake them out eventually. Takes forever though. Luckily it doesn't affect my flying."

You blinked at him before looking at his wings. Huh...now that he mentioned it, they seemed kinda .. Clogged? As if there was feathers on top of feathers. And when you looked at where you both were sitting, you were surprised to see the many, many feathers strewn about. He was loosing a lot of feathers. Urogi blinked as you just got up without saying anything and walked behind him. His head followed raising a brow. 

"Hey, Dove. What are you dooooo- CHIRP!!!"

His face went a red, and his feathers rustled out as a single hand grabbed at his wings and pulled down through them. Immediately a plethora of feathers tumbled from the wing as Urogi froze...and then relaxed back as a relieved feeling started to replace the dull, annoying itch that plagued him for days now. You noticed that a LOT of feathers immediately fell from him as you just started to run your hands through his wing and he slowly stretched it out fully for you. A series of rapid fire happy little chick like chirps leaving his mouth. AW! CUTE!!  He must feel better. It couldn't be good for his health to just leave all these loose feathers in. You continued your actions of combing through his wing again and again until barely any feather really fell out and it didn't look as full of feathers. Then Urogi stretched out his other Wing with a look over his shoulder questioning. You obliged doing the same thing to the other wing until minutes later both wings looked the same and there was enough feathers on the ground to stuff a giant pillow with. Urogi stood up and stretched out his wings and arms.

"How do you feel?"

"ALOT BETTER ACTUALLY!!" He happily looked over his shoulder and flapped his wings lightly a few times. "They're not as heavy anymore so it's not as stressful on my back! And the dam itch is gone!"

"Anymore loose feathers?"

"Probably a few but it's not enough to bother me anymore! You really know how to treat a guy! Uh..." He sniffed the air before humming. "Is something burning?"

"MY FISH!" You were quick to run around Urogi and yank the fish on the stick...only to deflate seeing the charged black fish. "Oh no. It's burnt! It's inedible now."

"Burnt or not. Hand it over! I'm starving." You watched in disbelief as Urogi plucked it from your hands and without deboning it or anything opened his mouth and bit off half of it.

You blinked at him messily eating said fish.. before shaking your head. "I'll just take some dirt and put out the fire."

After you made sure the fire was put out, you both just sat around some more for a while before Urogi got bored, stood up, and stretched out his wings. "Hey! I bet I can take off a lot faster now than my wings are lighter! Wanna see?!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! Just watch!" He raised his wings rotating his shoulders as he did-

STRUM!!!

One moment you were sitting in a grassy field, the next you were in a polished wooden hall....What? FWAP- THUD!! Urogi launched himself up, only to ram head first into a thick wooden ceiling and tumble back to the ground in a heap.

"...Ow."

"UROGI!!" You were quick to crawl back over to the groaning demon and pulling him up into a sitting position. "Are you alright?!"

He shook his head before smiling. "Oh yeah! Nakime must've teleported us back already...I should really talk to her about timing though."

You helped him stand as he rubbed his head but otherwise he seemed perfectly fine. Until you both heard clapping and turned down the hall. And saw none other than Karaku snickering and clapping his hands. KARAKU?! WHERE'D HE COME FROM!?

"Nice landing, Bro. As graceful as a swan!"

"Hey! That hurt!"

"You laughed every time I was kicked!"

"Hmm....Touche."

"Anyways..." Karaku smiled at you. Uh oh. And walked down the hall until he was in front of you both and leaned against the wall. But... didn't look cocky?? In fact his smile seemed genuine happy. "Since my brothers had their turns...What time should I come court you tomorrow?~"

You stared at him. ".....Never."

He froze. Urogi froze and stared at you wide eyed. "...What?" Both asked in shock.

"You're not welcome around me after how you've acted."

"I..Wha-" he exchanged looks with his brother before looking back at you like he was slapped across the face. Stuttering at your deadpanned face as you crossed your arms. "Yo-Yo-You and Sa.." he stopped himself before saying the whole name.

"Sakura?" Karaku froze up again..and you softened your look and sighed. "Look. I don't know what Douma told you but I didn't fight Sakura for your hand. I fought Sakura because she insulted my friend and attacked her. I had no idea she was going to challenge me for you."

Urogi just looked shocked between the two of you as Karaku just...well his face went blank.

"Douma must've misunderstood my intentions but I might as well straighten it out here. However that's not my only reason for saying that. Karaku... You're not giving me the impression you're taking this seriously. You're acting impulsive and thoughtless with this courtship and pushing my boundaries even after both myself and Akaza warned you of the consequences of that. An example of that is when you tried to kiss me after you asked. I didn't say no but I didn't say yes either," you explained before pointing at his face, "You also provided no of fulfilling your promises to me before approaching me. Yes. You all did what I asked but you don't seem to take this seriously as I am taking it. While you might've apologized for everything and fulfilled what I asked you I can't do anything until you prove to me that you're actually serious. ...Until I see that, then I won't be courting you...Good day Karaku." You then turned to Urogi, reached up and then pecked the shocked harpy on the lips. "Thank you for the fun time, Urogi. I hope your dinner with your family goes well." 

You then patted his shoulder and turned to leave. Or you would've...If Karaku hadn't literally dropped to his knees, and hugged you around your legs. Looking up at you in a mix of panic, pleading, desperation and... longing.

"WAIT! P-PLEASE!! GIVE ME A CHANCE PLEASE!! I- ILL MAKE IT UP TO YOU I PROMISE!!" His grip slightly tightened up on you. "I-I-ILL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!! JUST PLEASE!!...PLEASE DON'T TAKE AWAY THAT CHANCE!!" He heaved.. looking up at you pleading almost as if..he was going to cry. "...Please...Please....I  LOVE YOU! I WANT YOU! I DONT WANT HER!!"

His voice echoed throughout the hallway as the two of you stood there staring at Karaku... Before Urogi kneeled down and grabbed his brothers shoulders in worry but Karaku didn't budge from your shocked body. 

"....What did she do to you?"

Karaku choked on his air blinking in shock..so his brother spoke. "She was going to give him a love potion."

You blanked for a moment. "WHAT!?" Before snapping over to Urogi.

He just grimly nodded. "Yeah...He walked in on her trying to make it. That's when he got out of there and the crazy bitch started being crazy."

Karaku stared between you two.. before sighing and letting you go letting his arms flop to his sides. "Yeah. Alright. I fucked up. Alright? I fucked up!" He glared at nothing. "But do I really gotta be punished for it! Gods! I know it was stupid to pursue her after Sekido said not to! I get it now! Ok!?"

He panted sitting there for a long, long silent moment as you both stared at him. In the cold, silent hallway... before you slowly turned and began walking down the hallway making both brothers blink.

"H-Hey! Where are you going?!"

"To beat her ass or commit murder. I'll decide when I get there!"

WHO GOT YOINKED BY BIRB BOY. WHOM WAS IT??? How is their relationship with the Great Hawk? 😃😃😃😃

It was ........Angel lmao💀😭😭😭 i was playing around with their save file and studying the writing in dol for a future post i wanted to make and then i was like. Fuck it we go ball and then i went and got them a husband💀😭😭

Not sure if if i want this to be a strictly game thing or like incorporate it into her story but like. ...let's say they do get kidnapped by the great hawk...

Angel(they/he/she)

It's uh ......awkward tbh💀💀💀 Angel is fully prepared to pluck some feathers when Great Hawk sets them down but then he's like. "Hey man this is ur home now, I'll go get some food for you. Also ur my spouse now lmaoooo" and they just (._.)

Because this surely did trigger smth within them (thanks to Kylar babe😍😵😘), and they had pure rage in her eyes for like the first few minutes before they were confused by GH's behaviour🚹

Bc as much as he wants to wring his neck and choke him to death for kidnapping her, they also have a tendency to like. Really really judge someone before throwing hands. Doesn't want to feel guilty after yk.

So after GH goes out to fetch food, Angel's scouring the place for stuff to defend themself with. And then GH comes back and just treats them with utmost respect and kindness and angel's just "huh."

So yeah. They spend their time with him, gently explaining that she is NOT his wife or husband no thank you, i have partners already. They were pretty much on board with skipping school and not having to deal with Bailey but they really quickly realised that they miss their friends and partners so they just start pleading GH to let her go🚹🚹

"bro please please i swear dude i won't forget about you like. I'll love you forever man please bro I'll BUILD A SHRINE FOR YOU DUDE PLEASE"

Uh. Yes. They occasionally do visit Great Hawk but they're definitely not overnight stays. Some part of them wants to introduce him to Robin and Sydney but she's also afraid they'll start preferring the bird man over them so they just. Don't🚹

They do tell about him to the others though, considering they've been away for so long and all.

While living with him they only take baths while he's away for food, no one gets to see the goods honey

They scolded GH the first time he got them a lurker and almost cried when they saw how disappointed he got🚹🚹🚹 He got them one the second time too...Angel was so hungry by the time he went out again that they werent as against eating a lurker but nah he just pop in with regular human food so that's good 👍

All in all it's more of a comedy than anything😩😭
