i think Steve needs a bitch lover. like they need to be bitch4bitch. maybe rival coworkers who butt heads and are trying to get Keith's managerial spot and are so snarky and huffy around each other and then when they lock up, they defile the workplace counter <3
I also think that S3 Steve looks like that, all dreamy and glossy lipped, is because post-Nancy breakup, he went out and got absolutely strapped down by some (bitch possibly...) college girl in the city and hes been chasing that feeling ever since. Absolutely devasted when she left and took the flesh colored plastic with her. Thats why I think he was practically throwing himself over the counter at Scoops because he was hoping that if he bats his long lashes to the right one, they might just take him home, pull down his slutty little shorts, and play eith his hole, but alas :(
you get me.
yeah see that’s how I feel about s3 Steve too. just begging to be bent over. doesn’t care how or why. and then s4? that stubble, that rumpled dishevelment… he doesn’t care any more cuz he met god. and she was on the other end of a strap.
bitch4bitch coworkers absolutely unbeatable combo. like Steve needs SOMEwhere to put all that pent up flirting, certainly not wasting it on Robin and striking out with all the babe-customers recently. you’re his second-favorite Family Video employee and his first-favorite flirting target.
but he learns quick that he gets a bigger reaction when he’s just a bit mean. tugging the ends of your hair to get your eyes to snap to, poking you in the side whenever he passes behind you- sure to be met with a hit he does his best to dodge, silver ring clipping his ear all the times he’s too slow. he gets a sick thrill out of your wrath, like a teenage boy that clings to negative attention as a coveted form of any attention.

a very official and unserious ranking of chinese mini-dramas I've watched. Mini-drama = 5-15 min episodes. Color coded "sets" that had same actor or writer.
1. Night of Love with You (2022) - the unbeatable. the ULTIMATE. villain 4 villain romance with a protagonist who knows she is in a manga series... but something has gone wrong, because how did she and the heroic female lead get switched this time?!
2. Provoke (2023) - Republican era noir revenge saga. Unresolved sexual tension. Glamour. Great lighting. Hot people in period costume giving VIBES. She married her mortal enemy as a concubine and keeps a murderboard. I'm in love w her.
3. The Deliberations of Love (2023) - Married consort of a prince dies with him due to the struggle for the throne. Then she wakes up in the past, only for this ambitious idiot to get them killed again! Receiving yet another chance after 2 awful deaths, she's determined to choose life over love and not marry into the royal family again. But it's not quite so simple... especially when the prince starts to feel echoes of their past life together. The romantic chemistry is what sells this lil tropey drama. She keeps subconsciously drifting back into acting like his familiar spouse and then he starts vibing too.
4. A Familiar Stranger (2022) - Like with Provoke, I think everyone's seen this one? Conniving prime ministers daughter face-switches an innocent girl who is searching for her sister and pining away for this hot general who saved her once. Wow what luck, the horrible marriage the prime minister's daughter wanted to escape is with her dream man. This all sounds very wtf but this director x screenwriter combo creates these moody pieces that have a certain dream logic.
5. Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shong (2022) - The emperor's sister is tyrannical and keeps a stable of hot men. Political intrigue ensues. ngl this one is real choppy but is ranked high due to my bias for achingly hot leading ladies who step on a breathless delicate ML. 🔥 She makes me SWEAT.
6. The Killer is Also Romantic (2022) - Mr and Mrs Smith in costume drama imperial era china. It should be higher, but for an English speaker it's dragged down the list by terrible subs.
7. My Decoy Bride (2023) - Hidden identities, assassin marries her target in imperial era china. Same male actor as Deliberations of Love who builds good energy with his costars. But less budget, worse subs, choppy editing. Still fun. Probably ranked way too high but idc I was entertained.
8. Dong Lan Xue (2023) - 3 min episodes of broken Murder Couple ❤. The slighted 7th prince and his ex-prostitute maid who are out for blood & revenge. (It's that badass lady & her delicate suitor again. Love this webisode pair. love herrrrrrrrr)
9. Miss Mystery (2023) - Republican era revenge drama in a similar vein as Provoke but lacking it's elite lighting, sets, & cinematography. To her it's Fake Marriage but he agrees because he liiiiikes her. The couple has chemistry, gives good power-couple, and the FL is out for bloody revenge. It's a fun ride. But the writing isn't as strong as Provoke and the uneven acting of the supporting cast drags it down the list.
10. What's Wrong with My Princess (2023) - The standard reborn revenge tale played straight. Female general helped a prince fight for the throne, then he & her sister have her murdered when vulnerable and pregnant. Gasp! She wakes up years earlier on her wedding day to this other prince she'd married once, only to kill for her evil lover boy. Now she plots the downfall of lover boy & her sis, joining hands with the husband she betrayed the 1st time around. It's... exactly what it sounds like lol. Nothing stands out and the script is a string of tropes. But it delivers exactly what it promises.
11. Everlasting Bride (2023) - Republican era revenge with added spy games. Like Miss Mystery & Provoke, strong character intros & first meeting. They're mysterious and well-dressed and dangerous to know. More polished than Miss Mystery. The leads here are more filtered and more conventionally attractive. But I have to admit that there's a charm about how rough around the edges Miss Mystery is. And I like the lead actress in Miss Mystery a lot more. The first 3rd is pretty fire, then it lost steam for me.
12. Forever Love (2023) - It's that smoldering guy from Maid's Revenge (absent from this list because due to crap ending). Absolutely extra in every way, a tropey hormonal mess, to the point one can argue it circles back around to be ART. Female protagonists for 1-10 are all great & fun. Alas I can't say the same for #12. 💀
Haven't Finished:
Butterfly Lover (2023) - I have a serious hate for open-endings and I heard this has one, so I paused on it. It's from that amazing director&screenwriter combo, though (Provoke, Familiar Stranger, Killer is also Romantic...). So I know it's worth watching.
Romantic aka Love Strikes Back (2023) - I started this but stalled out. idk it wasn't compulsively watchable for me. Other people loved it.

Wip of the Phantom Thieves AU prequel
Rated M
Pairing: Terukane.
Warning: OOC for being a decade older. Violence. Teru and Akane are mostly in the 'enemies' stage of their relationship here so they are assholes. Sexual Tension. Sexual Comments. Lust. Questionable consent in 1 scene. Incompleted scenes. No beta reader.
Word count: 9000 (HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT LONG)
Title: Catch Me (I Know You Can)
There was something off with this room. He knows some rich assholes consider minimalistic decor fancy, but the cheap glass roof, and colorful paintings didn’t scream money, just a marble floor isn’t enough to mask how barren it all feels. No furniture. No decor. 
Like the room has been emptied beforehand.
He narrowed his eyes at the lack of windows
Or maybe it was never occupied in the first place, build like a cage, not a room.
Click.
A door opened.
Akane immediately jumped to the darkest corner of this fancy cage.
The unwelcome visitor glowed in the weak moonlight the glass ceiling offered, so it must be a high-ranking officer with their pristine white uniform. Not that Akane cares, recruits and admirals alike are child’s play to deal with.
Akane picked a spoon roughly the same weight as a key from his pants pocket and approached the officer as quietly as possible, noticing a sheeted sword and the metallic hint of a gun partially hidden by his cape, focusing on a much smaller glint on the opposite side of his belt.
Bingo.
Akane lunged, as quiet as he could in this echo-y marble floor,  touching the edge of the key and  freezing when his moves were stopped by a firm grip on his arm.
That’s unusual, he tends to be too fast to be caught.
“Phantom Thief, so glad you came.” The cop said, his smile polite but his blue eyes cold, glowing like radiation in the dark “You’re as foolish as the rumors say.”
Foolish?!
Akane bristled, abandoning his jacket to slip out of his hold. The man stared at the empty sleeve in his hands with a frown, but he didn’t panic, throwing his jacket on the ground “And just as slippery.”
Akane didn’t comment, trying to search for a way out. The room was pretty big, but just as he had suspected: there wasn’t a window he could use for a grand escape in sight.
“You’re under arrest for multiple robberies, unauthorized possession of poison-”
“Poison?” He doesn’t have poison, what the fuck is he talking about?
“-and assault of seven officers,” The man said, raising two fingers up and immediately turning on the lights, making everything too fucking bright. It confirmed his suspicions this place only has one exit, but now what? “If you turn yourself I’ll be generous in your sentence.”
“Does that offer ever works?” Akane mocked, walking towards the only door and feeling just a tiny bit wary of the calm way this man followed him, still composed after witnessing Akane's speed.
“You would be surprised,” The man said, grabbing a whip from behind his cape, which is an odd weapon for a police officer, odd enough for Akane to pause, connecting the dots: Golden hair. Glowy eyes. Whip. Now that’s a combo that sounded familiar.
Akane resisted the urge to laugh, realizing he is dealing with the very top of the food chain, the chief of the police, infamous for being a monster in every criminal bar Hanako had dragged him against his will.
Akane doesn’t feel any camaraderie with other criminals, finding way too many rotten people in the ‘business’, but their popular rumors are worth listening to: The sewer is a good emergency exit, no cop will ever dirty themselves for their dear law. The industrial area is so loud you can fire a gun without being noticed if you time it right, so criminals and police officers alike are bolder. And if you fall for one of Chief Minamoto’s traps, it’s wiser to surrender on the spot.
It made his heart speed up, getting some hope for the asshole in the uniform. He would hate to end the night with his hands empty, but if he steal something from this monster, he will be unbeatable.
The chief badge is perfect. He wants it.
What he wants, he takes.
Akane has never been caught before, no doubt his name has plenty of rumors attached to it as well. He isn’t scared of monsters, just because he never ‘raised the bar’ of his crimes, as Hanako so stupidly puts it, doesn’t means he isn’t the best in his field. He can handle a pompous asshole with a whip.
Akane threw his cape at his face and run for it the second it got close enough to hide Teru's eye, cursing the easy way he keep his predatory eyes on Akane’s shadow, slashing the air in a perfect arc that caught Akane’s cape mid-air and slammed the ground far too close for comfort, the sound of his whip breaking the air made Akane’s ears ring, forced to jump back.
This demon is fast.
Teru's voice changed from coldly polite to authoritarian, “Get on your knees and put your hands where I can see them or I’ll be forced to use violence.” 
“Fuck you-” Akane eyes widened, barely dodging his attack and running farther out of range, waiting for an opportunity to try to steal his keys again-
He yelped when a slash nearly hit his head, the force of it damaging the wall behind him. Holy shit, is the bastard trying to kill him?? Akane sped up, needing a proper plan-
He felt something wrap around his leg, yelping at how it burned his skin and losing equilibrium when Teru pulled. Akane slammed on the ground, hitting his chest on the hard tiles and breathlessly cursing the fucker.
 “Watch your tongue, thief.”
This piece of shit-
Akane tried to jump back on his feet, but was smashed on the ground by a slash on his spine. The impact hurts like hell, and the fall didn’t help, making him get familiar with the ground again in the spam of a minute.
Something heavy pressed on his back.
Shit shit shit
“Get off me!” He tried to shake him off, panicking at how little he could move as he feel his arms be restrained “Watch your hands you son of a-”
Click.
Hard metal wrapped around his wrists. Akane froze, having not been caught in one of these in years.
Teru pushed him by his restrained wrists and analyzed him as if he was a chore, Akane tensed up, doing the same: The chief looks weirdly young, can’t be older than thirty, his disgusting cop uniform and the cold apathy in his eyes putting Akane on edge. 
Akane usually likes beauty, but it was impossible to care about his ‘long lashes and ocean blue eyes’ when the bastard looked at him like he was a piece of trash.
“What’s your name.” Teru ordered.
Akane spat in his eye, annoyed by the easy way he dodged, acting as if Akane was a badly behaved child. He grabbed his handcuffed wrists and roughly pushed him back on his feet.
“Get off me!” Akane snarled, his cursing cut by a pained hiss when Teru pushed his hair.
“Name.”
Akane just snarled, trying to get off the handcuff. These chains aren’t the cheap ones but he can do it.
Akane waited until he was sure the bastard wasn’t looking to slip the hairpin he hides inside his gloves to the tip of his finger.
“I’ll save the interrogation for later.” Teru commented, keeping a firm hold on his shoulder as he dragged him. His grip was uncomfortably tight, even if Akane didn’t have handcuffs on, he wouldn’t be able to slip out of it. 
Tch.
Akane pretended to have given up, not resisting when Teru unlocked the door and pushed him out but still glaring when the chief narrowed his eyes, wary of his ‘docile’ attitude.
Teru grabbed his hand and confiscated his hairpin, startling Akane. 
Teru ignored his curse, keeping a firm hold on his shoulder as he confiscated the hairpin on his other glove and pat him down.
Akane snarled, watching all the tricks he hide up his sleeves, shoes and pants be confiscated, feeling almost naked without any of it.
He was visibly more grumpy but he didn’t complainwhen Teru picked up the pace, taking note of an open window ahead. It was the one he had used to get inside this hell hole: two meters up, which isn’t ideal: Still, an escape route is an escape route, if he used Teru’s body as a step ladder he could make it.
He tried to steal his key, able to do so the second Teru glanced at the window Akane has his eyes on, but his victory was short lived, barely getting enough time to twist himself out of Teru’s hold before his scalp burned, the damn cop not gentle when pushing his ponytail.
“Escape attempts will only increase your sentence.” He said in a pleasant tone, smile falling as Akan’s handcuffs clattered on the ground. “You already unlocked?”
He sounded almost impressed. Almost.
“What else would I do with a key?” Akane hissed, changing his approach. If the wary bastard won’t let him out he’ll do it by force.
He grabbed his arm, aware his shoulder throw is a force to be reckoned with, but being tripped the second he touched Teru, losing his balance.
There must be metal on his boots cause his kick hurts.
Akane held his injured leg, cursing when he was restrained again.
“Keep this up and I’ll resort to violence.” He said calmly.
Ha! As if he wasn’t already fucking using violence.
“Eat shit and die.”
“Very well.” Teru's smile gained a sadistic edge to it, punching him straight in the gut.
Akane felt the air leave his lungs, swaying on his feet, his vision got blurry at the edges. The only reason he did not fall was the firm grip on his arm, dragging him.
“...Bastard.” He groaned, trying to dig his feet on the ground to make his life harder but all he achieved was to trip on the stairs.
.
He was shoved on a cell, his clothes changed into an awful striped prison uniform. Even his tie was confiscated, making his long hair stick to his neck.
…Great.
At least the handcuffs are off, this city’s prison cleaner and more spacious than the one on his old town.
.
“They really caught you, pal” a very familiar and annoying voice said “Thats rough.”
Great. Just who he wanted to see in this shithole.
“I’m not your pal No.7” Akane glared, his mood dropping even lower “What are you doing here?”
“Just visiting, thought you would be lonely in this cold cell.”
“I will call the cops” Akane deadpaned, hoping that demon whipped the smirk off Hanako’s face.
“Awww~” Hanako eyes crinkled, amused “You want me as your cellmate that bad? I missed you too my fellow thief!”
One of these days he will be charged with murder and if the bastard doesn’t disappear right now, he’s afraid the allegations will have basis.
“Police! Help!” He yelled, pretty sure they wouldn’t care, but trying to send Hanako a message by giving him a deadpan stare “I am being harrased.”
“You’re so mean to me~” Hanako whined but he looked happy.
The lonely brat probably just wants attention, doesn't matter if is good or not.
Loud footsteps made Hanako immediately shut up, getting out when the door opened.
Hanako didn’t even grab a key for him. What a waste of space of a ‘partner’.
“Thief!” A young officer with bright blue eyes and way too much enthusiasm said “What’s the problem?”
Akane raised a brow, both by how similar to the chief he looked, and by his question “I am in a cell”
“For your evil deeds,”
He snorted.
Sure. Very evil. “Like stealing?”
“Of course”
“And trapping and hurting a person?” He said, snorted went the young man nodded, taking a moment to notice Akane was showing off his damaged wrists.
The boy opened his mouth but didn’t come up with anything to say, looking stupid.
Must be an amateur
Akane tried to steal his keys, surprised by how quickly the young man grabbed his hand “You’re not escaping this prison, evil villain!” He gave him a determined look “I, Minamoto Kou, will make sure of it.”
Another Minamoto?
Just his luck.
.
His meal was way better here than in his last city's prison, it actually tasted pretty alright, filled him up too... Who would have thought?
.
Akane was pretty sure he figured out a way to escape by the end of the day, Kou may be fast but he seems easy to trick, eager to impress.
“Hey Minamoto!” Akane yelled, getting ready to put his plan into action, when the wrong Minamoto opened the door, his high-heeled boots clicking on the concrete floor.
Well, shit.
Akane held on tighter to his prison bars, looking up at Teru with a mocking smirk “Well well, if it isn’t the chief! What brings you to my cell?”
“Phantom Thief.” He greeted back, with the same cold smile. “I have a few questions for you.”
Of course he does. It would be a miracle if they could shut up.
“Were you behind the heist of the central bank last week?”
“Yes?” Akane was so confused he didn’t even try to withhold information “I thought that was the whole reason I am here?”
“Just making sure,” Teru commented, sounding a bit curious…? Maybe? It’s hard to read his mood.  “Why?”
“I like kicking your arrogant subordinate back in their places” Akane was honest, staying as close as he could to the bars “The money is a good bonus.” 
“I see” Teru gave him that cold smile  “I’m glad I’m working with such an honest criminal." He picked up a sheet of paper "Now, I have countless witnessed that claim the phantom thief have smuggled poison.” His eyes narrowed “Would you care to tell me more about It?”
“Wrong thief.” Akane sighed. “Hanako is the one you're after. Bastard stole my title. I think he is butthurt I don’t want to be his partner, but I have no idea what goes on in his head.”
Instead of not believing him, Teru nodded, putting a hand on his chin “So there truly are two phantom thieves… What is your name then?”
“None of your business.” Akane waved him off, walking away.
“Are you an illegal immigrant?”
Akane didn’t reply.
“Very well” Teru grabbed his whip.
click
Akane froze, turning around and lo and behold, Teru entered the cell, that coldly polite smile on his face “Now now, we don’t need to drag this out longer than it have to.” His eyes flashed dangerously “I have better things to do”
Akane felt a shiver down his spine, his muscles still aching where he had slashed him.
.
Akane spat blood on the ground of his empty cell, narrowing his eyes at the stain in his otherwise clean cell.
Bastard is clearly holding back but his lashes still fucking hurt, those cold eyes making him feel like a bug he would have no qualms in ripping it limbs one by one.
Despite what some people may say, Akane doesn’t like pain, so he gave Teru the fake name of “Shiki Nagisa” to buy himself time. It was incredibly annoying to give the bastard the satisfaction of even a fake full name.
‘You didn’t win anything’ Akane wanted to growl at the cop's pleased face, but he held back to only a glare ‘Good luck finding Nagisa, bitch.’
.
He tries to steal from Kou again the next time he saw the guard, playing up his injuries and putting effort into distracting him, able to keep the conversation going for long enough for the teen to lower his guard and not realize the keys in his belt were missing.
When Kou got out to get him bandages, Akane was soon to follow, leaving his cell behind.
He spotted Teru talking to a lieutenant near the building entrance, and fought back the urge to punch him. Even with the element of surprise, Akane isn’t sure he is faster than Teru's reflexes, so he settled with stealing more keys and throwing them to every captive he crossed.
.
“Akane-kun.” Aoi greeted him with big eyes, “Did something happen? You didn’t visit last week at all.”
Akane smiled awkwardly, not sure how to tell her he was in prison. She knows about his late-night robberies but not in detail, not that he is the phantom thief or that he is considered one of the seven most skilled criminals in town. 
(...Which he doesn’t particularly like, hating the other thieves he have been lumped with)
“I was on a trip, for my night job”
“How exciting! I hope you had fun,” Aoi hummed, understanding he was talking about his life as a thief when he mentioned a night job “Do you want the usual?”
“I will like a blue lagoon today, Aoi-chan” He smiled “And a raspberry juice too.”
Aoi nodded, going to the kitchen.
The raspberry juice was a bit emptier than his by the time she came, both knowing it was asked for Aoi.
“You don’t usually ask for alcohol, is everything alright?”
“Met an asshole on this trip” Akane sighed “I have a feeling my job will get harder”
.
Aoi either hate his heists, or is jealous of them. Till this day, even after knowing her for three years, he wasn’t sure.
She had once told him he isn’t fit for thievery, that he likes to give more than he likes to take, and that he should become a waiter at the cozy coffee she works on.
It is a lovely idea, Akane know they would have fun talking about clients behind their back and working side by side, but he can’t picture this dream like scenario lasting.
He was born to be on the run, filling his pockets with gemstones and wallets and on instinct, his insides burning when he set his sights on something that he cannot have. There is an itch under his skin that didn’t let him stay still or play nice for long, lingering in the danger zone to catch every hint of fear and awe in his chaser’s eyes, the insult thrown his way only fuelling the fire in his veins. 
He shouldn’t worry her.
.
Akane had no trouble finding Teru’s house. It wasn’t as stupidly extravagant as most noble mansions but it was still far too big for someone that reportedly lives alone.
Akane very carefully sneaked to a balcony on the second floor, expecting the chief to already be out and about, leaving his house free to be robbed but finding someone curled up in bed, engulfed by fancy blankets.
What.
It’s already 7 am. The police station opens in half an hour.
…Was his info-gathering flawed? Does Teru actually live with someone? Did he have a secret lover no one is aware of?? 
Akane was about to open the window, and do proper research, when a yawn made him freeze up, ducking and only occasionally glancing at the very sleepy man stretching: the man was slim, and not very intimidating, but he knew that pale hair and glowy eyes anywhere.
The chief rubbed his eyes like a little kid and dragged himself to one of the three doors in this bedroom. Of course the rich bastard's bedroom has a personal closet and a private bathroom.
Akane waited in pure silence for a bit, relaxing at the sound of the sink being turned on and using it as cover to sneak the window open, testing the floor.
.
Akane glared when Teru slammed him on the ground, keeping his restrained wrists in an uncomfortably tight hold above his head.
He tried to get free but teru only used more force, his smile tenserp “You never learn, thief.”
“You're a bad teacher"
Teru grabbed his neck and Akane snarled.
.
Teru narrowed his eyes when Akane threw his handcuff into the horizon but immediately started running after him, jumping high, and hitting the ground with a roll, the sword on his hip scratched the concrete, his long coat not made for this, but Teru kept his eyes on him, not slowing down.
Akane cursed, jumping off the roof and sliding into a balcony, using it to reach the fire escape in the next building and yelping at the feeling of a whip wrapping around his leg.
Shit
His jump lost power, barely able to reach the edge of the fire escape, holding on tight to the rusty metal.
“Too slow.” Teru pulled him back to his side, stepping on his chest the second he his back landed on the rooftop ground, his heavy boots digging in his ribs.
“I hate you,” Akane groaned, trying to kick him, and freezing at the way he grabbed his cravat, pushing it until the back of his neck hurt.
Teru took his cravat off and give it a quick once over, throwing it away.
“Hey!”
Teru ignored him, putting a hand on his hips and making Akane freeze, his eyes widening when Teru took off his belt, his gloved hand on his stomach far too warm.
Akane heart skipped a beat, panicking.
He tried to fight him with more vigor, face growing hot with frustration but the chief just held him tighter, keeping him pressed on the concrete.
Akane shivered at the dark look in those eyes, not remembering anyone who had ever immobilized him so easily.
“That should do,” Teru said.
“What?”
Teru wrapped the belt around his wrists, keeping it extra tight and pulling at it as if it was a leash, forcing their faces near “Now,” His polite smile was overflowing with malice, “be a good boy.”
Akane felt blood rush to his face as he stumbled to his side, the spark he had felt turning into rage. He tried to bite his nose, hating how unimpressed he looked, grabbing his neck before he could even scrap his teeth on his face. “Keep treating me like a fucking dog, and I’ll bite you.”
Teru's nearly choked him, the pressure making Akane cough.
 “Don’t make me buy a leash.”
Akane snarled, finally having the bastard off him, and hurrying up to keep up with his pace, barring his teeth. Teru seemed amused by it.
Asshole.
They walked in silence. Akane tried to undo the dead knot of his belt restrain, but it didn’t budge, all attempts rewarded by Teru tightening the knot.
Well... This sucks.
'At least my pants are tight enough to not fall without the belt,' he tried to be optimistic. 'it could be worst'
drip.
Akane blinked.
drip
He frowned, staring at the grey sky. It will rain.
Great. Wonderful even...
Teru pulled at the tie when he slowed down, seemingly ignoring the increasing rain as he headed to a small store “Have you ever hurt a civilian?”
“...No?” Akane blinked, not expecting this line of questioning. Frankly, it was a bit offensive “I am a criminal, not a monster.”
Teru was unimpressed, but his track of only bullying cops must have led to enough credibility to earn the benefit of the doubt.
“Can I trust you to behave inside the store?”
He hissed “I can ‘behave’ just fine when people aren’t a stuck up pieces of sh-”
“If you make civilians feel threatened I’ll punish you.” Teru tugged harshly at his wrists, dragging him far too close for comfort, and narrowing his glowy eyes without a hint of a smile, the rain sliding down his cap forming a small waterfall between them “I want your word.”
Akane felt a sting in his chest, never seeing himself as a danger for civilians, but understanding how someone might get wary about a ‘criminal’ in a bad mood.
“...Fine.” Akane said as if it physically hurt him, hating that he can see Teru’s point.  “I promise I’ll behave.”
Just while they are at the store, it will be quick.
Teru nodded sharply, the silent warning heavy in the air, and twisted his hoster, putting his gun in the back, out of view, before stopping in front of a big store.
He forced himself to relax when Teru opened the door, wearing an innocent look and staying quiet. He looked at Teru instead of the customers, even if he could feel their eyes on him.
He was surprised by the way Teru behaved, not teasing him for playing nice, merely buying an umbrella and a bag to guard his wet cape, smile far kinder than the one Akane is used to, tone comforting, far from humble but still grateful when the owner gave him a discount, the warm talk alluding Teru have helped them before.
The energy was so cozy it felt like being hit in the head. Either he is one hell of a good actor, laying deep into the image he was given, or Teru has more than violence in his heart, he just… doesn’t see Akane as a person.
The idea was annoying.
(It hurt, but Akane refused to acknowledge anything about the demon could hurt him.)
Akane tried to pocket a candy to distract himself from this creepy ‘sweet’ side of Teru, but before he could dream of touching it, Teru made a show of raising his hand to scratch his cheek, which tugged at the belt trying Akane’s hands, keeping them far away from his goal.
Tch.
He didn’t glare though, he keep his promises.
When they got out Teru was back to being a dick “I’m impressed you only tried to steal once.” He opened the umbrella “Good job, I’ll give you a treat~”
“Oh, I’ll show you a treat you two-faced pig.” Akane dropped the docile attitude too, yelping when he was tripped, nearly stumbling on his arm. 
“Watch where you’re walking” He mocked.
He made a face at the way he had to almost lean on the bastard’s arm to escape the rain, “Watch your step, bitch.”
Akane huffed, but he reluctantly appreciates being protected from the rain, Teru’s fancy jacket was warm and dry from having been under his discarded cloak.
Akane had no idea what to do so he stayed silent, watching the downpour eat up the city, the road infested by puddles. His socks was wet and uncomfortable, clearly more on the edge of the umbrella than Teru, they haven’t even crossed a block and half of his fringe was already dripping wet.
Teru was starring at him when he focused on the asshole again.
“Like what you see?” He mocked, 
The chief wordlessly tilted their umbrella, soaking Akane to the bone.
Akane spluttered, trying to take his wet fringe off his eyes and yelping when it only earned him a harsh tug, his belt digging into his wrists, burning his skin.
“Oh I do” Teru smiled maliciously.
Akane glared at him, uncomfortable at the way the demon blushed, liking to make his life harder. So he wasn’t imagining, the bastard really is a sadist.
He smiled pleasantly at his anger, and Akane resisted the urge to spit on his eye again.
After two blocks, the rain slowed down, still strong but not enough to create a river on the streets.
“It’s weaker” Teru commented, keeping his hold on the tie tighter, but his shoulder was not as tense.
“You stole Hyuuga’s necklace haven’t you?”
“Damn right,” He smirked “You couldn’t catch me.”
Teru gave him a side look, mood impossible to decipher “And you returned it”
Akane's smirk fell “So what?”
“Why?”
Akane sighed “He was bawling his eyes out about it, I can’t just take his only connection to his lover or whatever his 'Lady' is”
“How nice of you” He mocked.
“Fuck you too”
When they had to climb a set of stairs, he noticed Teru was making an effort to keep him under the umbrella, focusing more on measuring their steps. It was… admittedly not something he had expected of him, but he still wouldn’t call it ‘kind’: Teru pulls are harsh when Akane slows down, and he doesn’t try to warm him up, letting akane stay soaked, smile still unreadable and eyes cold.
Is a blessing in disguise. The idea of being hugged or borrowing his jacket makes Akane stomach twist, not wanting to cozy up to the sadistic cop with a rotten personality or feel comfortable while being led to prison.
Prison... 
He bet the cell will be very cold tonight. Way too cold.
He can’t have that.
Akane tripped Teru when they were near the end of the wet stairs, being pulled down with him but able to sneak out of his belt, and running away and grabbing the umbrella while he was at it by instinct “See you later chief,”
Teru got back on his feet quickly. Always fast to act.
Akane smirked, disappearing into a back alley. It was hard to hold on to drenched posts and plants littering the wall with his hands tied but he managed.
Akane peeked from the balcony, not surprised, but still feeling adrenaline make his heartbeat ring in his ears at the way Teru was chasing after him, with his little cape and cap, rain be damned.
Akane jumped away from his whip with a smirk, umbrella under his arm, making his escape harder, but worth it from how being wet annoyed Teru. There was a sharp edge on a window, so Akane used it to nick his belt and get enough of an edge to undo his restraints, picking up speed and leaving the chief in the dust.
Teru had taken the fire escape, his cap getting lost at some point, rain dripping down his hair, getting in his eyes.
Akane opened the umbrella, more to show off his victory than really get any safety from the rain. He is drenched already, they both are. It’s no wonder Teru isn’t smiling, a cold look in his eyes.
There was something about watching him struggle to catch up, hair darker and flatter, that was hard to look away from. The way he whipped his fringe off his eyes is too pretty for such a bastard, it’s a wonder he turned into a cop instead of a cover model.
“You look like you’re having trouble” Akane yelled to be heard over the rain, throwing a closed umbrella at him, watching him grab it before it hit him in the face “Don’t catch a cold chief!”
And off he went.
.
“Careful, you wouldn’t want me to involve your sibling-”
Teru kicked hard enough to feel like he broke his spine when he hit the ground, barely able to cough before he stepped on his chest and put a blade on his throat, the tip of the cold metal pressing him on the ground with enough force to damage some of his skim.
“Touch my family and I’ll kill you” He has never seen such a cold expression on his face, his tone making it clear this isn’t a threat. It’s a promise.
Akane narrowed his eyes, feeling scared, but unwilling to show it “Ha!" The laugh made the blade dig deeper "Bet Kou would adore to learn his dear bro killed someone-”
A sharp pain made Akane scream, surprised to have Teru slash his chest, soaking his shirt with blood.
.
He only got his wound treated at his cell, when Teru realized he wasn't being serious.
He didn't let Kou guard him Akane again tough.
Akane clenched his fists as he cleaned his bleeding shoulder, sure it would be harder to escape now.
.
Akane usually only went out into the night after careful planning, once every two week, or every month depending on how busy his life have become, but there was a buzz under his skin, a desire to see Teru again, attracted to those glowing eyes like a moth to a flame, wanting to scream at him, prove to himself that he is worthy of the chief's attention.
It’s no good, no good at all.
He is no fool, he knows the chief is a real threat, but he still wants his eyes on him, he wants to be the one to trip him, to tear that condescending smile apart with his teeth.
So he went out again.
.
Akane smirked, the chimney proving to be a good shortcut. He stopped right before he hit the ground and stepped out of the coal’s way. 
He grabbed a bag of expensive clothes and jumped out the window, using the electricity post as a boost and support to reach the top of fancy wall, feet in between two spikes.
“Too late chief!” He laughed darkly, looking back with malice and feeling this euphoric adrenaline crash at the sight of a baffled commander whose name he doesn’t even know.
What.
No!
He want to leave Teru in the dirt, outrun him- It wasn’t worth trying something new on these guys, he could have escaped even by walking through the front door.
Akane glared, slipping into the house he jumped over instead of running back to his home.
Where was that stupid cop?
After picking from three more houses, with no sight of Teru, Akane huffed, frustrated by his absence. 
He grabbed the haul successfully though so he should be happy. Usually this would be a big win, but he only felt a vague disappointment. Dropping the gems in his bed and freezing at the realization he had been looking forward to mocking Teru.
.
Oh, would you look at that! the missing chief!
Akane silently moved through the shadows, smirking at the way he analyzed writing on the walls, Sumire’s doing, that one is a dangerous girl. Till this day he has no idea if she causes destruction on accident or on purpose.
“My, if it isn't th-” Akane started his monologue, surprised by the gun pointed his way, the barrel dead set on his face.
Akane froze, too tense to notice his finger wasn’t on the trigger.
Teru's unreadable look didn’t disappear, but his shoulder slumped “Thief.” He lowered his gun, still far more tense than usual.
“On edge aren’t we?” He mocked, feeling a drop of sweat on the back of his neck. “Did a filthy criminal outsmart you?”
Teru's face closed up “Do you have any ties with the masked murderer?”
“I don’t associate with murderers” Akane deadpaned “and masks aren’t uncommon for criminals-”
“A skull mask.”
Oh.
Akane face closed up, he know the guy. Hates his guts, sure No.6 used to work with a cop, a while bback. A true disgrace for a criminal.
“Why would I tell you?”
“I won’t try to run after you if you do”
“Oh?” He smiled “You’ll let a filthy thief get away?”
“A murderer is my priority over stolen jewelry” Teru deadpaned “Do you have any information or not?”
Murderer…? Sumire is not a murderer.
He froze.
There is blood on his cape. He cannot tell if it’s Teru’s or someone’s else, but from the bloodstain angle, he is inclined to say it’s someone else.
Ha.
“Shouldn’t you lock yourself up then?” Akane mocked.
Teru smiled politely “No info then.”
Akane dodged his whip, still not on the same level as the bastard, but knowing him well enough to hold his own in a chase.
.
When they saw each other again, he had the urge to make him bleed.
Everything about the chief always felt too cold, too calculated. He wonders if he is even human underneath it all, if he will drop the politely amused smile if Akane choked something out of him.
He didn’t care about an image anymore, he grabbed Teru's jacket and kicked him as hard as he could, dragged Teru to the ground with him.
He probably sprained his ankle, it hurt, but Teru was down as well, immediately focusing on grabbing his arm so Akane didn’t run, “Why would you think this would work?” Teru hissed, a hint of annoyance in his voice “Stop always struggling!”
“Sorry for not liking jail, asshole.” Akane sassed, spotting a hint of red under his fringe.
Hah
He does bleed.
.
When Teru dragged him by the collar, Akane felt a shiver down his spine, wary of his smirk, panicking when it looked like he was going to kiss him-
“Watch your tongue” Teru used his authoritarian voice, shaking his bones. It made him tense up for all the wrong reasons “If you tell me how you got to the museum, I’ll give you a blanket for the night.”
The disappointment when the kiss didn’t happen was such a shock Akane didn’t have a witty comeback.
.
Akane glared as Teru disappeared.
That’s not good.
Akane paced his cell, understanding the man is beautiful but this is ridiculous.
Akane hates cops, disgusted by their superior attitude and their incompetence, the way they stretch the definition of what’s ‘legal’ the second it becomes convenient, putting a price on lives as easily as the criminals they condemn.
The highlight of his heists is always outsmarting them, the rush of pulling the rug from under their feet, to kick them off their high horse with only his shadow in their memories, watch what rumor they come up with to protect their pride.
And Teru is everything he hates the most, the arrogance, the clear sense of superiority, and sadistic tendencies. He would never get excited by his pretty face.
‘Behave’ That mocking smile came to mind, as infuriating as it was attractive, dark gloves holding on tight to his hair. ‘Or you’ll be punished'
Akane shook his head at the mental image, disgusted with himself. If he was that needy he should just get a one-night stand.
Akane isn’t very fond of those, he may not be as romantic as he used to be in his childhood, but he still believes being intimate is better with someone you trust.
(Even if the thrill of bringing a stranger to his bed and dangling his identity in plain sight is hard to beat, a road that can get addicting.)
Akane huffed, rubbing his wrists, unable to get any fluttering feelings when he pictured the asshole, at most begrudging respect for his skills, so at least it wasn't something as stupid as a crush.
.
Akane laughed, distracted by how close they are “And here I thought I was being subtle.”
“Oh thief,” He leaned even closer, his amusement cruel, the condescending smirk begging to be ripped to shreds “You’re as subtle as a dog near a slab of meat-”
Akane closed the distance, stealing a kiss to shut him up.
Teru’s lips are far softer than he expected.
The chief’s hold grew slack when he forced his mouth to open, eyes wide in a way Akane haven’t seen before. 
(It set of a spark in his stomach, adoring how big his eyes looked when knocked out of his high horse.)
He will be lashed for this regardless of what he does now, so Akane didn’t hold back, sneaking out of his restraints to grab his silky hair and deepen the kiss, intrigued to feel something sharp, a pair of small fangs on an otherwise flawless set of teeth. He could feel Teru’s mouth turn into a snarl, unsurprised Teru wrapped his fist on his collar the second the shock passed, pushing Akane off and slamming him into the wall.
Akane's brain bounced at the impact, not sure if he felt dizzy because of the blow or because he actually kissed the bastard. He inwardly laughed in the the face of his anger, not giving Teru the time to get his cool back before he dragged him down again for another kiss, trying to take the lead and succeeding, shivering at the way Teru tasted, getting on his tiptoes when Teru was able to straighten his back, lifting Akane to his level by lifting him up and scraped his back on the concrete wall, the pain only serving to blur his vision, making it all feel more surreal.
Akane got his tongue bitten for his audacity but he couldn’t stop, having never seen those icy eyes so wide before, his discomfort tasted like victory. 
He wrapped a hand around his neck when he felt the pressure on his back lessen, not wanting to lose this equal height, and tilted Teru’s head, getting more demanding. Teru did not like that, slamming him back on the wall and sinking his fangs where he could hurt him, but kissing back regardless. The hand on the collar of his shirt choked him at some point. It hurt.
He was out of breath by the time Teru threw him away, straight to the ground. The persistent ache on his bitten tongue even after getting air back, and blood on his gums, reassuring Akane this is real. 
Teru stared at him with hatred, his shoulders tense, hands turned into fists as he breathed a bit faster than usual. He wasn’t amused anymore, his wet lips with a brand new bruise on it.
Akane felt heat coil in his stomach at the sight, addicted to his unease, for once being the one to look down on him.
Akane resisted the urge to kiss him again, using Teru’s wariness as an opportunity to jump away, feeling invincible to taste freedom while his mouth is still bleeding.
(He could have run, but he stayed near, watching him, mesmerized)
Teru spat on the ground, and cleaned his lips with the back of his glove, positively furious “Have you grown desperate enough to use cheap seduction tricks?” 
“Have you sunk low enough to enjoy them? ” He licked his bruised lip, “You’re pathetic,” His smirk widened into something cruel, high on the way his eyes glowed with hatred, forgetting it all to focus on Akane and Akane only  “Just throw your badge away chief, go use your mouth for something useful, I’m sure you’ll have fun sucking dic-”
Teru jumped his way with a murderous glint in his eyes, fast as lightning.
Akane tried to run away, heart skipping a beat for all the wrong reasons, but he was grabbed by the neck before he could jump to the next building, coughing harshly at the tight grip but still high on the way he had ripped that condescending smile off his face, his anger uncontrolled for once.
“W-What?” Akane wheezed out, well aware he can’t escape his iron grip but still feeling victorious “Can’t handle the truth? Thirsty bitc-”
He expected the punch, frankly, he had expected sooner, but the explosion of pain in his gut was far stronger than usual, packing enough power to make him lose his conscience.
Akane woke up to see a dirty concrete floor, his vision blurry… Body moving without his consent. He vaguely registered that Teru was dragging him by his hair because of a sting on his scalp.
Hah…
He really angered the asshole this time.
Akane felt a hint of satisfaction before blacking out for good. A few days in jail is worth it.
.
Akane startled awake, cursing at the feeling of water dripping all over him.
He shivered, trying to clean his face and nearly falling, realizing he was sitting on a slippery surface, his hands handcuffed behind his back and wrists aching from the awkward pose, completely unprotected from the rain. 
Akane froze, slowly processing that he was trapped on the rooftop of what seemed to be an abandoned house located who knows where, his stomach still hurt from Teru’s punch, and the creeping night made the surroundings dim.
That son of a bitch.
Akane rested his back on the cold chimney he was handcuffed too and groaned at the way it was too short to offer much back support, its cone tip digging his spine. The rain didn’t take long to completely soak through his clothes as he tried to get out of his restrains and not slip down the wet shins. There is a window near this chimney, so at least he will get immediate cover once he is out-
Akane paused his struggles, taking a better look at the dirty window and noticing a shine on the windowsill, the key to his handcuffs innocently resting on it, out of reach but only by a meter.
Ha
Ha!
“You’re one petty fucking bastard.” He hissed, remembering Teru’s anger and smirking.
.
The chief was always so cold, so high and mighty and unbearable, it felt strange to realize he is endearing. 
He hid it well, rigid when Akane forced him into a dance, always ready to use violence, but he got tense by his flirting after being kissed, making a conscious effort to not let his eyes linger on his lips, clearly affected by his stupid taunts-
That’s so cute.
He was aware he should run, but the urge to make him angry, see if he could make him cry, made him greedy. The feeling was addicting, not resisting when Teru grabbed his hand, counting on it.
“You can kiss me back, is only fair~”
Teru laughed, so disgusted Akane may have misunderstood his intentions “Fair.” He grabbed his chin, fingers digging into his jaw “Is to put you in your place.”
Akane shivered, wanting to kiss him, pour gasoline until his eyes burned with hatred again but the merciless kiss he had hoped expected never happened, pushed down the fire escape stairs.
.
“I wish he’d fuck me” Akane admitted after swallowing another glass of alcohol, blinking slowly when Hanako choked on his wine, but unfortunately didn’t die from it. 
“What?” Hanako was looking at him like he was insane.
“He is pretty.” Akane shrugged, not understanding why Hanako looked sick, or why his body was shaking so much.
Or wobbling? Yeah wobbling. Everything was kind of wobbly now the he think about it...
Wait no, Akane’s vision is the wobbly one.
Hum…
… Maybe he is a bit drunk. 
Or tipsy? It’s been a long while since he drank more than a polite glass of wine.
Was this even wine? What the hell is he drinking?
His head hurt when he tried to read the label of his bottle so he just re filled his cup. It tasted good. So whatever.
“He nearly cut your arm off.” Hanako pointed out.
“Pretty and strong” Akane agreed, smirking at his discomfort but feeling a hint of annoyance at the thought of Teru's stupid face as he watched Akane scream “Mean too… Hate his guts. Need to get off his stuuupid high horse.” Akane frowned at his glass, imagining his bitten lip and blushing at the memory of his undivided attention as he glared at Akane, wanting more of it, “I want him to look at me. Break his back for once, bastard is so cold...”
He would lose a limb if he try to kiss him again, definitively die if he squeezes his ass, but it would be so worth it, just to see the rage in his eyes again.
‘He has been more violent with me lately… Bet he can’t get me out of his head’ Akane licked his bruised lips with self-satisfaction.
Hanako seemed traumatized.
Heh… That’s funny.
“Pussy.” Akane mocked, stumbling out of his seat and raising his glass up high “Hey! Who here wanna fuck the police chief?!”
He expected a solid three people to agree, aware that much beauty can blind some folks even after said pretty man ruin their lives, but a solid one third of the bar raised their glasses, starting a roll of yelling both of agreement and of judgment.
“Make him pay!” someone in the back snarled. 
“Yeah!” Akane cheered, taking a swing of his drink. Something about the number was too high for comfort, it made him annoyed, he wasn’t sure why, but he really didn’t like it.
Half these people wouldn’t be able to escape prison, so they must have never gotten their face smushed on the ground within seconds by Teru, or felt their lips split open by his fangs.
What do they know? Bet they don't even know the bastard have fangs.
Akane frowned, feeling an annoying itch in his stomach. Surely they would have bragged about it if they had kissed Teru.
…Right?
Fuck it, he raised his glass again “Who here has kissed the guy?!”
The bar got silent.
Akane laughed, this time louder, far more genuine.
“...You didn’t” Hanako paled.
Akane smirked, giggly with victory. Now that’s more like it.  “And I’ll do it again!”
“Thief, what the fuck-”
“How are you still alive??”
.
Akane woke up with a hangover and four different wallets on his bed, two more on the floor, which had likely fallen when he moved in his sleep.
He has no idea who he stole from, but he really hopes one of his targets was Hanako.
Akane got up, groaning at his aching head and drinking a generous amount of water before looking through his haul, smirking when he found a flashy wallet with 320 bucks in it, and another with no identity card and way too much paper money, the picture of the newbie reporter, Yashiro, making it obvious Hanako was the owner.
Nice.
Akane blinked at a picture of the youngest Minamoto hidden between two bills, amused to realize the fool also seemed to be interested in a Minamoto.
He feels sorry for the kid, Hanako's way of flirting make people's life hell. Akane would know.
.
Akane agreed to be his informant.
Why? He doesn’t fucking know.
He seriously considered not showing up to their meeting spot, but the mental image of Teru's disappointed look and a condescending “Shouldn’t have expected anything else from a thief” made him fume.
Akane kept his hair in a tight bun and wore a pair of reading glasses, which is a low-effort disguise but it worked since people rarely see the phantom thief in the night anyway, seemingly only knowing him from his cape and his ponytail. On his way he could hear a commotion, reluctantly checking it out when he realized it came from a jewelry store he planned to rob when he had the time.
He couldn’t get too close, police were blocking the way, but he could see a broken window and hear a girl, around twelve, maybe less, screaming for her mom.
Teru was speaking to her in a tone that was very gentle, too soft for Akane to discern words. He looked uncomfortable.
The girl stopped screaming but she still cried and shook her head, visibly shaken.
The chief orders were noticeably less loud and authoritarian when he asked his subordinate to get her a blanket, measuring his volume near the civilian.
Akane just stared, noticing Teru never touched her, keeping a certain professional distance, but he let her hold on to the edge of his long coat for support, seemingly genuinely trying to calm the girl down despite his discomfort, talking in a quiet tone.
When the officer he requested a blanket shook his head, Teru seemed a bit troubled, unclasping his cape, offering it to the girl with a gentle smile, and letting her wrap herself in it.
Akane felt frustrated by it all, ceirtain now that Teru isn't a demon, he just just doesn't consider Akane human enough for kindness.
( but also felt weird at the sight, something more sticky and troublesome. )
He has been vaguely aware Teru, in all his arrogant and cruel ways, is not as simple to pin down as the other cops he dealt with: He carried a sword and a gun, but rarely used them. He refused bribes, only locking up those he was confident were guilty for their crimes but Akane know nobles well enough to know there must be something shady going on with the Minamotos. Teru failed in many areas, treating people like garbage the second they were deemed a criminal, but he made an effort into keeping his men in check, putting work. He doesn't seem to trust anyone. But he help citizen.
Is odd, even if he reluctantly understands Teru lowered the town crime rate considerably, he does not like his approach, he can’t help but tense up at his presence. Hating his arrogance, his stubborn attitude, and his pristine little murderer uniform.
And yet…
When Teru smiled at the girl, the stranger, there was so much kindness put in the spotlight, the dangerous glow of his eyes soft and comforting.
For the first time, he perfectly understood why so many civilians called him a prince, a hero.
‘I’ll protect you, everything will be alright’ His actions seemed to say, keeping his energy light when asking her to describe the “bad guy” that invaded the place.
(It felt wrong, like a fake advertisement, and yet…
Akane couldn’t help but remember the umbrella store.
He couldn't look away.)
.
Akane held his face, his gentle touch making Teru narrow his eyes. Hard to read.
‘I want you’ He thought, but he couldn’t have that, so he settled for gently  brushing his fringe behind his ear and using his shock to steal his hat, hiding it behind his back and flashing him a smug smirk “See ya chief!” He gave him a mock salute, only exchanging his small tophat for the chief’s cap when he reached the next house roof, smirking at the immediate sound of footsteps after him.
“Thief!” Teru hissed, his voice commanding, reaching his very soul. “Return it. Now.”
He looks good without a hat.
“Came get it!” Akane egged him on,  jumping on top of a lamp post and using the momentum to dive straight into a four-story mansion balcony, disappearing inside the room and walking out too quickly for the arguing couple in front of the fancy bathroom to notice he was ever in their house.
From there he just had to climb one store up and hop around, determined to run away, keep the cap as a souvenir. He run until his legs ached, crossing many restricted areas and civilian houses any law-abiding citizen would have trouble walking around willy nilly.
He lost Teru after a few blocks, disappearing into the night and slipping inside his bedroom window. 
“My win” Akane laughed in his empty room, touching the dumb white cap in his head with pride, the sight of him with it in the mirror made him feel weird. He hates cops and their pretentious uniforms, but he couldn't deny he felt something at the idea this isn’t just a cop’s hat, but a part of Teru’s uniform.
It made him feel closer to the chief.
“How pathetic” He mocked his reflection.

Smoke Breathing+Forms:
Smoke Breathing is a direct split from Sun Breathing and Flame Breathing. What's left after a raging fire? Smoke and ash, and unfortunately Amari and Hayate, her teacher, know this firsthand. This style isn't particularly difficult to learn as long as you have strong enough lungs and a nimble enough body for it. Amari has the ability to breathe through the smoke that this breathing style produces for long periods of time. The technique usually means demons die of suffocation, as opposed to decapitation but she does have enough strength behind a few forms to be able to behead them as well. The smoke from this technique can vary in color based on its user and their traits. Her mentor's smoke was a vibrant green color. He was honestly very surprised to see hers be completely grey, dull, almost lifeless in color when she was able to produce the forms for the first time. However, he'd also never seen the different forms be used in such a deadly and efficient manner from himself or anyone prior (he's only the third Smoke Breathing user that he's aware of, first Pillar). There is now wisteria found in the smoke used in this technique. The wisteria found in it is simply a result of Amari ingesting wisteria on a regular basis, an idea of hers that she got from Lady Kocho. If she didn't, Smoke Breathing would still work, though it would definitely be more reliant on her ability to behead them.
Tumblr media
Smoke Breathing Forms:
First Form: Ashes in the Wind. The most direct attack which goes straight for the neck. This is usually a first attack, when there's an opening caused by another one of her attacks or a last resort that uses all stored adrenaline or all strength reserved to push for a final attack if the demon appears to be unbeatable by strategy alone.
Second Form: Smoke Left From a Burning Soul. Not used very often. A broad range attack that is kept for any types of traps they may wander into or multiple demons. She's able to spread the smoke over a larger area to start the suffocation process on any demons nearby her and her comrades. The smoke itself represents her burning home from the day she lost her siblings.
Third Form: Shadow Dancing Slash. A close attack that's reserved for lower level demons or for training when she wants to work on increasing her speed and reflexes. It's a quick combo attack that allows her to make multiple strikes starting at the enemies feet and moving towards their head.
Fourth Form: Clashing Ash and Dust. She's able to summon a haze that spreads over the area and makes it seem like there's one, then two, then multiple different clones of her. They lunge at the enemy at different moments before dissipating, disorienting them because they're not supposed to know which is the real one (though this move wouldn't necessarily work on upper moons because the clones have no smell or fighting spirit). She hides safely out of the way until she can find an opening to strike.
Fifth Form: Dancing Smoke Sweep. This is more of a defensive attack to help her get closer to the enemy. She goes for the feet and remains low to the ground as she works up speed by deflecting the enemies oncoming attacks. She moves in quickly before appearing in front of the enemy and aiming to do an almost completely vertical strike to throw them off balance or possibly even move in for decapitation.
Sixth Form: Pipe Dreams. While all different forms summon some form of smoke or disorienting type of smoky haze over the battlefield, this one is directly connected to her passionate nature. It's also directly connected to her energy levels. If she's too exhausted, she can't use it. This form is strictly a large, heavy cloud that settles over the entire area, almost giving the appearance of a forest fire/building on fire (depending on where the fight is). She hardly ever uses it because of how thick it is and so her teammates can't usually handle the intensity of it, but it's also the most efficient and handles lower level demons quickly. This is why she prefers running most missions and any patrols she may have on her own. It's just easier.
Seventh Form: Grey Blanket. Amari's invention, and basically Smoke Breathing's version of Dead Calm. The few minor differences are attacks aren't deflected, she's just able to dodge them faster than vision can follow, but they're small enough movements to make it seem like she's not moving. While the enemy may seem momentarily distracted by either her ability to dodge or the smoke that appears to exit her body, this is when she takes the opportunity to decapitate the demon. However, instead of a calm stride leading to a clean strike, this is a dramatic full circle swing, leading to the decapitated head being thrown away.

Chinos and Sneakers: The Perfect Casual Combo
Tumblr media
Introduction
When it comes to achieving a blend of style and comfort, chinos and sneakers are an unbeatable duo. This combination has risen to prominence for its ability to merge casual ease with a touch of sophistication. Whether you're off to a casual gathering or just navigating your day-to-day activities, pairing chinos with sneakers creates a look that’s both versatile and trendy. Curious about why this combo works so well and how you can make the most of it? Let's dive in!
Why Chinos and Sneakers Make a Great Pair
Comfort Meets Style
So, what’s the secret behind the perfect match of chinos and sneakers? It’s all about their complementary qualities. Chinos for men offer a polished, tailored appearance while maintaining a casual vibe. Sneakers, on the other hand, bring in comfort and a modern edge. Together, they create an effortlessly stylish ensemble that works for various occasions.
Chinos: The Versatile Essential
Chinos, made from lightweight cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, are designed to be both comfortable and adaptable. Their structure allows them to be dressed up or down, making them suitable for a range of activities. Whether you opt for premium chinos or a more budget-friendly version, their versatility shines through. Mens chinos can seamlessly transition from a relaxed weekend look to a semi-formal outfit with ease.
Sneakers: The Ultimate Casual Footwear
Sneakers have come a long way from their gym roots to become a fashion staple. With designs ranging from classic white sneakers to the latest trends, they offer a mix of comfort and style that pairs perfectly with chinos. Their cushioned soles and stylish aesthetics make them an ideal choice for everyday wear.
How to Style Chinos and Sneakers
Wondering how to perfect the chino pants for men and sneakers look? Here are some tips to help you nail the style:
1. Go for Classic Color Combinations
Classic color pairings can elevate your look. Opt for neutral-colored chinos, such as beige or navy, and match them with white or black sneakers. This timeless combination is always in style and suitable for almost any occasion.
2. Experiment with Patterns and Prints
Feeling adventurous? Choose trendy chinos for men that feature subtle patterns or prints. Pair these with sneakers that complement or contrast with your chinos. This playful approach can add personality and flair to your outfit.
3. Tailoring is Key
For a sharp, polished look, ensure your mens chinos fit perfectly. A well-tailored pair of chinos enhances your silhouette and pairs better with sneakers, creating a harmonious and refined appearance.
Chino Pants: A Detailed Look
The Evolution of Chino Pants
Chino pants have a storied history, originating from military uniforms and evolving into a fashion staple. Designed initially for comfort and durability, they’ve become a go-to choice for modern wardrobes. Today’s mens chinos come in a range of styles and fits, from slim to relaxed, catering to various preferences.
Cotton Chinos for Men
A popular option, cotton chinos for men offer breathability and softness. Their natural fabric makes them ideal for everyday wear, ensuring comfort throughout the day. Cotton chinos are also easy to care for and versatile enough to be dressed up with a blazer or kept casual with a tee.
Choose the Right Sneakers for Your Chinos
Selecting the right sneakers to pair with your chinos can make a big difference. Here’s a quick guide:
Classic White Sneakers: Timeless and versatile, these sneakers go with nearly any color of chinos.
Bold Colored Sneakers: Add a splash of color with sneakers that contrast or complement your chinos.
Minimalist Designs: For a more refined look, opt for minimalist sneakers in neutral shades.
Chinos vs. Other Trousers with Sneakers
Understanding how chinos compare to other trousers when paired with sneakers can help you make better fashion choices. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Material
Chinos: Typically made from cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, offering a lightweight and breathable option.
Jeans: Constructed from denim, providing durability but with less breathability. They can be bulkier compared to chinos.
Dress Pants: Made from wool or polyester blends, offering a formal look but less breathability and comfort.
Fit
Chinos: Available in slim, regular, and relaxed fits, providing flexibility in styling and a balanced look with sneakers.
Jeans: Usually come in slim, straight, or relaxed fits, but can be bulkier and less sleek when paired with sneakers.
Dress Pants: Often feature slim or tailored fits but are more structured, which can clash with the casual nature of sneakers.
Occasions
Chinos: Versatile for casual, semi-formal, and some business settings. Their adaptability makes them ideal for pairing with sneakers.
Jeans: Suitable for casual and smart-casual occasions. While they work with sneakers, they may not have the same refined appeal as chinos.
Dress Pants: Best for formal and business settings. Pairing them with sneakers can create a stark contrast, making them less suitable for casual looks.
Comfort
Chinos: Known for their high comfort level due to their soft and flexible fabric. They’re perfect for all-day wear with sneakers.
Jeans: Offer medium comfort with denim’s rigidity. Sneakers add comfort, but jeans can be bulkier.
Dress Pants: Generally offer medium to low comfort and are less flexible. Sneakers may not fully complement their formal structure.
Maintenance
Chinos: Easy to care for with simple washing instructions. They resist wrinkles and are practical for everyday wear.
Jeans: Require regular washing and may fade over time. They can shrink if not properly cared for.
Dress Pants: Often need dry cleaning and special care to maintain their formal appearance.
Conclusion
In summary, chinos and sneakers create a stylish and functional combination that’s hard to beat. Chinos offer versatility and comfort, while sneakers add a modern and casual touch. This pairing is perfect for a range of occasions, from casual outings to semi-formal events. Ready to upgrade your wardrobe? Embrace the chic simplicity of chinos and sneakers for a look that’s effortlessly cool and endlessly versatile.
