eiden and quincy just absolutely devouring yakumo once he gets off his waiter shift. yes, at the same time!! yakumo’s room has not known quiet for at least three nights now.

jealous possessive quincy is something we’ve seen a few times before, but jealous possessive eiden?? getting fed up with having to watch yakumo be flirt with and ogled all day while he can’t do a single thing about it?? yeah, that’s a good idea

“m-mr. eiden? i-is something wrong? you’ve been.. s-staring at me..”

“…you look so damn good in that outfit it took me every bit of my willpower to not just jump on you right then and there.”

“…….oh.”

yakumo gets so flustered by the idea of eiden being so forward and feeling possessive over him he nearly combusts. not to mention quincy of all people openly admitting what he wants to do to yakumo. out loud. the poor thing’s system basically overloads and he can’t think about anything but the feeling of being so shamelessly desired.. good thing quincy is there to catch him before he can pass out, and then not-so-subtly drag the serpent away in the direction of the bedroom, where the three of them won’t be seen until tomorrow afternoon.

[pwurrz]

haven’t thought about yakumo purring in a while.. eiden scratching under his chin while quincy runs his fingers through his hair and yakumo just sits there, absolutely flustered and embarrassed from the attention but feeling far to content and blissful to really do anything about it <33 they like to team up and give him the ‘ultimate head rub!’ because they know from experience it always makes yakumo feel better. his adorable reactions are just an added bonus.

eiden can’t help but coo over how cute yakumo is, which of course makes him feel terribly shy and embarrassed, but.. on the other hand, it’s really nice to be the center of eiden’s attention and praise.

sometimes quincy just reaches over and ruffles yakumo’s hair for the fun of it. he started petting the serpent as a way to praise him, or to calm him down when he was anxious, but eventually he found himself being endeared by the cute quiet purrs that slipped out when his fingers would pet just the right spot.

[pwurrz]

eiden: “yakumo, i need you to ask quincy for a favour for me! he’s become immune to my puppy dog eyes but no one can resist your cuteness!!”

[pwurrz]

yakumo observes the way eiden uses the excuse of snowy weather to get quincy to come inside and cuddle with the two of them and feels.. a little confused.

because on one hand, he doesn’t know how non-serpents respond to the cold, but he knows for sure that the weather is freezing. if he could nest in a warm cocoon of blankets and maybe eiden’s sweater for the whole winter, he’d be happy.

on the other hand, quincy seems not to be bothered by the cold? yakumo’s sure he feels it, but he also knows from personal experience that quincy is naturally very warm. he seems absolutely fine, standing out there chopping wood for the fireplace without his shirt on; absolutely massive frame on display as he lifted the axe high above head with ease, showing off the strength in his biceps before bringing the axe down, effortlessly cutting the log in half, chest flushed and glistening as he wipes the sweat from his brow and.. wait. what was yakumo talking about again?

anyways, eiden being the cheeky troublemaker he is, realized that quincy caught on to his little game of pretending to be freezing to bring quincy inside, and thus.. has started using yakumo’s inability to regulate his own body temperature instead.

“quincy! come inside, quickly! yakumo’s freezing and i don’t think i can warm him up all by myself!”

“wah!? mr. eiden i-i’m absolutely fine, i’m okay m-mr. quincy!”

but, credit where credit’s due, it seems to work!!

yakumo’s unsure of what to be more flustered by, eiden using him as a scapegoat to get more Quincy Cuddles™️, or the fact that quincy almost immediately comes inside (despite yakumo embarrassed ramblings that he’s warm enough) to bundle the two of them up and lay down beside them, much to their delight <3

[pwurrz]

yakumo is already scary when he’s angry but when he’s angry at the people he cares about it’s less ‘cold, threatening anger’ and more ‘passionate, emotional anger’.

…

eiden is sick. very sick. he’s overheated, in pain, exhausted, and generally miserable. yakumo, as the one most familiar with handling domestic affairs like caring for a sick person, immediately took it upon himself to personally nurse eiden back to health.

quincy has also decided to stay. not to look after eiden, he trusts that yakumo has that covered, but to keep eiden company while he rests. he doesn’t fear getting sick himself, after all it really wouldn’t affect much of his daily routine. yakumo is skeptical, worried that he’ll eventually have to care for two sick people, but quincy convinces him to let him stay by assuring he’ll actually make eiden rest.

because eiden is.. stubborn. he can’t sleep because of the fever, and there’s a little voice in the back of his head that criticizes him for simply lying in bed and waiting to recover. cuddling with quincy and being doted on by yakumo is nice, but part of him feels like he could be doing more. he could be working, studying in the library, doing something to repay yakumo in advance for looking after him.

the first time yakumo finds eiden wandering the mansions hallways and not in bed where he’s supposed to be, he’s confused as much as he is concerned. did eiden need something he didn’t provide? was he not checking on eiden enough?

eiden manages to soothe his worries by whining about how he needed to stretch his legs and get out of that stuffy room. yakumo huffs and gently scolds him for leaving his room alone in the condition he’s in. eiden relents sheepishly and gets back into bed with quincy, who ignores a stern and suspicious look from yakumo by pretending he’s asleep.

it’s about the fifth time this happens that yakumo finally erupts. he comes in to deliver eiden some revitalizing soup, made with love to help him recover faster, and gasps in affronted shock at what he sees.

eiden isn’t in his bed, where he’s supposed to be. he is instead hunched over at his desk, papers and open books strewn everywhere to show that he’d been there for quite some time. and judging by the miserable expression on his face, he wasn’t hit by a sudden burst of inspiration caused by his improving condition.

“mr. eiden!!”

eiden whips around, eyes blinking a few times to clear his vision and immediately regretting it when he gets a look at the very angry serpent standing in his doorway.

“just what do you think you’re doing?” yakumo doesn’t raise his voice very often, if he can help it. but considering the lack of restraint he puts on his volume this time, eiden knows he’s pissed.

“oh! y-yakumo! i was just- i-i’m feeling a little better so i wanted to get a head start on.. work..” the excuse sounds weak and unbelievable as soon as he says it, and yakumo sighs in pure exasperation.

“you’re clearly not feeling better, look at you! i’d say your fever has even gotten worse! you’re never going to get better unless you stay in bed and rest!” eiden opens his mouth to argue, but feels the little strength he had remaining fizzle out. before he knows it, he’s being scooped up in yakumo’s deceptively scrawny arms and plopped back into bed. when eiden weakly tries to struggle out of bed once again, the serpent takes out a slipper (where did he get that from? does he just have that on his person at all times??) and holds it menacingly above his head with a glare on his face that could strike fear into the hearts of even the most fearless yokai.

“i swear mr. eiden, if i come back in this room one more time and i find you out of bed for any reason other than to use the restroom i’ll.. i’ll..! throw this shoe at you!!”

and normally eiden would call his bluff, yakumo? making threats? much less following through on them? the idea is almost laughable in its impossibility. but the fire burning in yakumo’s eyes tells eiden to simply nod and stay put.

“and mr. quincy!!”

the man beside eiden tenses slightly before opening his eyes, realizing his act of pretending to be asleep had not saved him from the serpent’s scolding.

“i’m trusting you to keep mr. eiden in bed, okay? i know you’ve been taking pity on him and letting him do what he wants, but that needs to stop if he’s ever going to get better!”

quincy opens his mouth to attempt to refute that statement, but yakumo beats him to it.

“and don’t tell me you were sleeping!! i know what you’re like when you sleep next to someone, you would’ve been awake the second he made a move. no more of that, okay?”

quincy lets out a grunt of defeat and understanding.

“good. mr. eiden, i made you some soup to help you recover sooner. make sure to drink it all, okay? don’t waste a single drop!” and just like that, yakumo resembles a sweet and attentive househusband once more. when eiden nods, he leaves the room with a satisfied smile, shutting the door softly behind him.

the two remaining men in the room make eye contact, and eiden struggles to contain his laughter.

“i’ve never seen him get so fired up before! he didn’t stutter even once!”

quincy nods, the same soft smile he usually has when he talks about yakumo gracing his features.

“hm. he’s quite cute like that.”

[pwurrz]

quincy comforting yakumo and telling him he can sleep soundly knowing quincy will do everything in his power to keep eiden safe (even from him, as much as he doubts yakumo will lose control), so yakumo doesn’t have anything to worry about and he can finally get some rest

[pwurrz]

hmmm. eiden yakumo quincy sandwich. if you know what i mean.

edmond yakumo quincy sandwich is also very, very acceptable.

[pwurrz]

i posted a yakuquinei thing on my… coughs…. other blog 👀👀👀

[pwurrz]

yakuquinei is.. really good actually

like obviously i already knew this but

it allows yakumo to see a more bratty, even more teasing side to eiden. because sure, eiden teases yakumo, but he’s not.. borderline annoying about it. quincy’s deadpan responses and general seriousness really makes eiden want to push his buttons in a rebellious sort of way that yakumo hardly ever gets to see. it’s cute, and if it weren’t for quincy’s overwhelmingly dominant personality it might make yakumo feel a little possessive.

and then there’s quincy himself. he is.. a lot to take in at once. if yakumo wasn’t already shy he’s sure he would be around a man like that. if there’s ever a way yakumo’s going to realize quincy is fond of him, it’s through watching quincy and eiden interact. because while he doesn’t claim to be observant, too lost in his own thoughts a lot of the time to notice more subtle things around him, the way quincy treats eiden and how similar that is to how he treats yakumo is too obvious to ignore.

also quincy’s unexpectedly nice, stepping in when he thinks eiden is going too far with his teasing, in a way that while he’s grateful for, yakumo doesn’t think is necessary. eiden believes so too, judging by the knowing look he gives yakumo when he says “it’s okay, quincy. he likes it.. don’t you?” (to which yakumo squeaks and nods even if he’s bright red and eye contact seems impossible). but eiden does ease up, a little anyways. he knows how he acts around quincy can slip over into how he acts around others if he isn’t careful.

and eiden’s absolutely delighted to see the blossoming relationship between quincy and yakumo. he knows what yakumo thinks of quincy, having drawn that out of him one night not too long ago (and oh how interesting that was to hear), but he can’t really tell how quincy feels about others without seeing them interact. it’s so.. interesting how quincy is almost immediately fond of yakumo, seeing a gentleness to how he treats the serpent that he only gets to see on special occasions. it would make him jealous, if he didn’t understand completely. yakumo is extremely cute and it seems like he fits into the category of cute things quincy’s fond of perfectly.

anyways. yakuquinei >>>>
