Skip Beat! Vol 2

[candidcallalily]

It was extremely difficult to not pull faces from every page of volume 46, but we're going into copyright infringement territory with EVERY DAMN DELICIOUS PANEL!

BOOP! I mean they both basically cats with how aloof and withholding they've been up until this point. Makes sense head bonking is involved.

Bigger! BIGGER! MAKE THEM FISHIE PEEPERS POP!

Oh that expression is going to GET HER PLACES. Keep that in your back pocket, girl, highly effective.

She gave him an inch and he TOOK A MILE!

There is an oppressive dread of being given expensive jewelry with sentimental weight. I get it.

I got no jokes, just utter appreciation for Yashiro. The idea that getting together and then you live happily ever after is broke. The work has only just BEGUN PEOPLE!

Kyoko's making a friend accomplice!

married life ! ┊ft. nene, aoi, akane, teru

synopsis. married life with them.

content. fluff, gn reader, intended lowercase

her notes. can mokkes be used as a pillow

— yashiro nene

married life would be quite calm and relaxing.

housework is split 50/50 but if you or her is very tired from work one of you would offer to do the other's chores for a bit

even the simplest things like the two of you cooking together makes your heart skip a beat !

the two of you have a pet hamster by nene's request :3

if the two of you aren't busy, she'd plan small dates around the town or city you reside in.

the dates would commonly consist of looking at cute appliances, furniture and whatnot.

grocery shopping is quite a hard thing because most of the time the two of you end up with a few of the things you planned to buy and the rest consist of junk food

either way, married life with her is really comforting : ) she'd always be there for you like you'd be there for her

the early morning light entered through your shared home, illuminating you and your beloved in bed, you awake while nene was still asleep.

you cherished moments like these, the warmth and comfort felt around made you feel so safe. even having her beside you is already enough for your heart. not to mention how cute she looks. despite her sayings that there are better people out there, she forgets that you chose her, and she chose you.

you felt so lucky to have her.

— akane aoi ; m

married life with him would be busy yet fun!

in terms of housework, it's 50/50 aswell on mosy occasions but he'd really prefer to do the job for you! especially if you're tired from work.

he'd be the type to wake up earlier than you to cook you breakfast :3 and i feel like he's not really a morning person but he feels better if it's you he's waking up for.

another hc is that he commonly listens to jazz or classical music, and when he plays it out loud while both of you are cleaning you two would end up dancing : )

for dates, he prefers them the typical way. a romantic dinner, a walk on the dock at night, etc. despite it being generic, he'll always enjoy any second he spends with his significant other.

if the two of you go shopping, he becomes very strict and acts like your babysitter TT he wouldn't allow any things that aren't planned to be bought. althoouugh,, if you bat your eyelashes at him, tilt your head, and ask in the most polite way, he reluctantly allow to let you buy something.

it was 8:57 pm, and the sound of water running and dishes clashing were the only thing to be heard at the moment. you and akane had just finished eating dinner and you offered to do the dishes considering he already ran the rest of the errands earlier.

until, akane caught you off guard by wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his head on your shoulder. it was uncommon for akane to do this, yet it still continues to surprise you. "kane, im doing the dishes, you can hug me later." you giggle out yet he just tightens his hold around you.

"but i want to hug you now." akane said nonchalantly. accepting it, you continue with the dishes while your beloved was embracing you.

— aoi akane ; f

married life with her would be fulfilling.

despite the fact that she's popular and whatnot, i feel she'd prefer a secluded and comforting life

for housework, she'd offer to do all of the chores but of course, you need to help aswell so she reluctantly lets you TT

she'd be the type to buy you flowers !! and with this, your house would probably be filled with flowers too

in the privacy of your home, she lets herself unwind and confide in you, without anyone else's expectation of her : )

she'd like cuddling too! just the two of you on the couch, close to eachother while simply watching a movie makes her happy

for dates, i feel like she'd enjoy on of those craft studios, specifically pottery making! even though its quite cliché, she likes it when you're behind her, helping her through the pottery process too >< oh and she'd definitely love dates to the zoo aswell !! especially if she's with you,she likes admiring the animals : )

she's kinda lenient with letting you put whatever you want in the shopping cart when you two are going grocery shopping, but she's the type to secretly put them back too 😭

"thank you for the date, [name]." aoi said, the two of your were walking around the zoo whilst talking about each other's day and jobs. "it's no problem aoi, i love being with you, really." you responded while aoi blushes a bit a your statement.

"well, for this date, i'd like to treat you to!" aoi beamed. "how about some ice cream? what flavor do you want?" she continued to ask despite you really insisting its fine. but, you faltered against her, seeing her focused face makes youe heart melt and you eventually let her treat you.

"thank you for the ice cream too, aoi" you said, while the both of you continued chatting with your ice creams.

— teru minamoto

married life with him would be chaotic but fun.

teru's good on almost all aspect of housework! except cooking.

he'd try to cook you breakfast but he fails at even cracking the eggs TT for some reason the eggs exploded when he tried cracking them???

another time, he tried baking and the cookies came out burnt and charred.. and incredibly salty too..

after those times, you forbid him from the kitchen.

he'd be clingy, super clingy. if he comes home exhausted from exorcist work, he'd only want to have you in his embrace and won't let you go until for a few hours.

he'd be super romantic when it comes to dates. literally giving you a bouquet full of roses and asking you out for dinner. with the tuxedo suit too.

grocery shopping with him is a 50/50. most of the times you get what you need and only that. but the other half, you two end up getting unnecessary things TT

a loud bang could be heard from the kitchen, it was early in the morning and you noticed your lover out of bed. you could have only guessed what happened. you immediately got out of bed and headed to your shared kitchen, seeing your husband's focused and beautiful face on.. charred eggs?

"ah, [name] you're finally awake!" teru said, his eyes lighting up once he saw you. "i made you breakfast, do you want some?" he asked as you stepped forward to him, taking a look at his work. it was, unidentifiable? you guessed that the beige colored whatever the shape was pancakes..? the look on his face and the food he made was really contradictory.

despite that, you offered to cook breakfast instead. even if your husband can't cook, that doesn't take away from the fact you love him.

[shunsuiken]

CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU.

pairing. kamisato ayato x fem!reader

genre. fluff + he’s so fucking in love with you (we love to see it)

synopsis. your husband notices how you seem to look away whenever he makes eye contact with you. so tonight he finally confronts you in his own way.

wc. 0.8k

an. yall i love this man so much omg i cant i was literally blushing while writing this goodbye i'll see myself out now 🚶🏻‍♀️

“ah if only i was reborn as the mirror on your vanity," your husband sighs from behind you.

you laugh and swipe the last bits of your moisturiser on your cheeks. “why?”

“because you get all close and personal with it...” ayato trails off and stares at your figure with steady eyes. “...but not with me."

you raise your brows in confusion, and for some reason your heart skips a beat. "what ever do you mean?" you ask without even looking at him.

ayato walks towards your sitting-figure. tonight, his lavender stare is not one he looks at you with when he wants to share an intimate night with you. rather, it's one of curiosity. he wants to know why you look away every time he has his eyes trained on you. even now you do not meet eyes with him. why is that?

do you not love him as much as you used to? was there something he didn't realise he did wrong? were you bored of life as the yashiro commissioner's wife? he can't seem to think of any other reason for you to look away from him. besides, he loves your eyes! they're such a wonderful shade so he can only wonder why you turn away and limit the time he gets to stare into them.

while those thoughts flood ayato's head, your palms are sweating at how close he's become. panicked, you turn around and stand to meet his eyes at a less strained angle, using the back of your foot to nudge your chair underneath your vanity.

ayato's pout almost makes you laugh if not for how his eyes do not leave your face. you can already feel a herd of butterflies making themselves at home in your stomach at how closely he's observing your expression.

"you're doing it again."

"w- what?" you question, eyes flickering from his gaze to his vanity on the opposite side of the room.

ayato's brows crease ever so slightly, an ungloved finger rising so he can tilt your face towards his. "sweetheart, look at me please."

your cheeks heat up as your hands scramble for something to hold onto when you realise he's closed the gap between your clothed bodies. you then feel a hand planted on your waist. oh archons. "i- it's—it's going to be really difficult if you look at me like that!" your voice does nothing to defend you, high-pitched and breathy.

ayato tilts his head, as if wondering what you mean and you're not entirely sure if he's faking it or not.

you blink, moving your gaze away by an inch but your husband is quick to gently manoeuvre your jaw back so you continue to face him. your expression creases in protest. he only chuckles at your reaction, a smile finally appearing on his handsome face.

he traces circles with his thumb on your waist as an attempt to calm you down. after seeing how you've reacted to his forwardness, the yashiro commissioner is able to put two and two together. "tell me what's on your mind, dear." sigh, does he even realise your string of sanity is about to snap?

you're so out of it. you can't even bear to focus on his words when he studies your facial features like that—ooh that's not good for your heart. your bottom lip is quivering.

you are all he sees.

"n- nothing," you say in a hushed tone.

even after sharing so many lovely nights together, it seems that you still cannot handle the way he looks at you. adorable. he thinks. but he can't just leave his wife suffering all by herself like this. after all, what kind of husband would leave his wife in a state like this? hands pawing on his chest softly, lips curved in nervousness and eyes blinking as if to help you cope with his loving gaze.

"you say 'nothing' but so much is written across your face," a short giggle leaves his lips in amusement. "why don't you join me in bed, hm? i can look at you some more there."

you whine and shove your face into his shoulder. "don't mock me."

ayato takes his chance to pull you in between his arms for a warm embrace, sighing contently. "now i'm not mocking you, i'm simply saying that you are a delight to look at and as your husband, shouldn't i be looking at you the most?"

a playful scoff leaves your lips, momentarily lifting your head to meet his eyes. "oh don't say that—or your reports will come after you."

your husband groans, "darling, don't remind me. i've personally had enough looking at those useless documents." you then hear him click his tongue. "don't try changing the subject either, so join me in bed, will you?"

you sigh an exasperated 'okay, fine' before yelping as you're unceremoniously dragged on to the bed by your giggling husband.

Doumeki and Control

One of the things I have noticed in Saezuru is Doumeki's complicated relationship with control. Control is a double edge sword for Doumeki.

On the one hand, control is like a lifeline for Doumeki, and we see firsthand what happens when he loses complete control. The first time we see Doumeki lose complete control was when he beat up his rapist father almost to death. Although he did that to save Aoi, in the eyes of the law, he still committed a crime and needed to go to jail. With that, he lost his identity as a cop and became impotent as a response to the trauma. He uses his impotency as a way to control himself. The second time Doumeki loses complete control was when he had sex with Yashiro. Despite trying to keep his distance and control, Doumeki gives in to his sexual desire for Yashiro several times. It culminates to them having sex, which resulted in Yashiro pushing Doumeki out of his life. After the time skip, Doumeki admits to restraining his feelings so that Yashiro won't run away. Control keeps Doumeki from crossing a certain line again.

On the other hand, his need for control also brings out his possessive side for the person he loves. This is mostly directed at Yashiro, and we see how it affects Yashiro's mental health in recent chapters. We know that Doumeki doesn't have too much experience being in a relationship, and that Yashiro is the first person he ever loved this deeply. Seeing Yashiro being self destructive brought out this need to control Yashiro's actions. As his feelings grew to love, it morphed into possessing all of Yashiro. Will Doumeki see that his possessiveness is hurting Yashiro and be ready to let him go? Can he change?

ayato’s not one to love.

as the head of the yashiro commission, there’s really no room for things such as love in his life. 

the elders try to get him into the dating scene but to no avail. because every person they’ve attempted to get him with was just not compatible at all. each one has walked out of his life claiming that he was just too much of a monotonous person to bear, or too little of a conscientious romantic partner. 

and to be fair, ayato agrees. there are other matters to focus on than the topic of love. 

the bustle of inazuma city’s streets snaps him out of his thoughts as he walks through the small crowds around each shop. 

this has to be the first time he’s ever gone out shopping alone; without the assistance of thoma. because each shopping stall he walks by seems so unfamiliar, each one with various trinkets, clothing, accessories, or food to be sold. 

eventually, his eyes caught onto a lone shop in the distance, not far from the rest of the stalls. ayato lights up almost immediately as he reads the painted bubble letters of the word ‘boba’ on the sign.

“5000 mora!”

the lady behind the stall smirks. she crossed her arms before outstretching an open hand out, expecting a bag of mora from the blue-haired man. ayato can’t help but stare at the lady’s open hand dumbfoundedly. 

of course, money was never really a problem for ayato. but 5000 mora for a drink of boba? it was ridiculously overpriced, and even he knew it. ayato cursed under his breath, before reaching for the wallet in his pocket. it was no wonder this shop had no customers at all. 

“ah, don’t be like that, yuki!”

curious, he turns to the person next to him and his heart skips a beat at the sight. you stand next to him, and he swears you’re glowing, hand on your hip as you seemingly haggle with the lady running the boba stand.

“c’monnn, we’ve been friends for so long! do me a favor just this once, hm? you owe me, remember?” you wink at yuki, and she grumbles something incoherent under her breath as she uncrosses her arms and looks at ayato. 

“3500 mora. take it or leave it.” yuki mutters, and he hears a ‘pfft!’ from you beside him. “you can do lower than that!” yuki immediately glares at you, whereas you grin at her cheekily. he hears a tongue click in yuki’s direction, and he assumes it’s one of irritation as she glares at ayato next. 

“2000 mora. I’m not going any lower than that.”

“that’s more like it, thanks yuki” you chuckle. yuki grumbles in response before she moves to prepare the sweet beverage. 

“don’t mind her, she’s just like that” ayato turns his full attention onto you. 

“oh, are you… okay?” you point out his open mouth, wide from surprise at the situation that just played out in front of him. how did you manage to haggle a price from 5000 mora to a cost as low as 2000? he snaps out of his daze and his cheeks flush into a pale pink as he closes his mouth, cursing internally at having been acting like a fool in front of the incredibly attractive person in front of him. 

“ah, apologies” he coughs into his fist before bowing, “thank you… for doing that for me, i appreciate it.” ayato flashes you a smile, and you chuckle in turn. “don’t be! It’s fine, really. some of the people here tend to overprice the things they sell so i’m more than glad to… negotiate prices hahaha”

he can’t help but stare at each one of your features, each one being so unbelievably gorgeous to him as you continue to make conversation while yuki prepares his drink. “sorry, i’ve forgotten- but, your name?” you ask, tilting your head as your mouth curved into a smile.

“ayato. delighted to make your acquaintance…?” he trails off, looking at you expectantly. “it’s y/n! nice to meet you too, ayato.” 

he grins, “delighted to make your acquaintance, y/n.” 

“well as much as i’d like to stay and chat with you, i have somewhere else to be right now.” 

ayato wishes you didn’t notice his face instantly going downcast at your words. 

“i’ll see you around, ayato”

“oh. yes, goodbye then.”

you flash him a sympathetic smile, before moving past the crowd and disappearing from his sight. he lets out a sigh, yet the corner of his mouth tugs up into a smile at your interactions with him. 

ayato’s not one to love.

but for you? he’ll make an exception.

“Take a break”

Pairing: Kamisato Ayato x Fem!Bodyguard! Reader

Storyline: Ayato starts to fall for you after you take care of him when he overworks himself.

Contents: fluff, silly goofy ayato, pining, reader is super oblivious

word from the author: did I miss anything? Also this is super rushed and it’s one of my first fanfics! Pardon if there are grammatical errors!

Pun of the day: why did Adele cross the road? To say hello from the other side.

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

Kamisato Ayato, Head of the Kamisato Clan and The Yashiro Commissioner.

These were but a few of his many titles in Inazuma. He was a busy man, burdened with the responsibilities of overseeing various matters in Inazuma, often found solace in the relentless pursuit of his duties. However, as his days turned into nights and his workload increased, he began to neglect his own health and well-being.

One fateful evening, after tirelessly attending to numerous matters, Ayato stumbled on his way to his room, strength failing him.

You were one of Ayaka’s bodyguards, commonly known as one of her shadows. You were in charge of protecting her, ensuring her safety.

After making sure she was asleep, you wander around the Kamisato estate aimlessly, looking for a way to pass time. While walking around, you suddenly hear someone stumbling around.

Concerned, you cautiously take a look, immediately recognising the snowy blue-haired man. Why was he up so late? You take notice of the dark circles under his violet eyes, and the way he was a lot paler than usual.

Ayato looks up, a weary smile painting his face as he mumbles a hushed greeting. “Ah… y/n… how’s Ayaka?”

You take a second to register his words. This idiotic man… even in this state, he still cares for his sister.

You bow, reassuring him that Ayaka was safe. “You should… take a break, you know?”

Ayato shakes his head, “it’s fine, it’ll go away soon enough.”

He watches as you sigh and lead him to his bed, telling him to lie down while you get some water for him. His eyes follow your figure as you flutter around, handing him a cup of water and a bowl of warm soup and rice.

He listens as you chastise him for overworking himself, smiling sheepishly and nodding. He knows when you stay with him through the night, and he notices when you pay extra attention to him.

After all, nothing ever escapes his watchful eye.

As his interactions with you increase, he finds his face growing warmer when you lean in to check his temperature, his heart fluttering when you laugh at something he said. He scolds himself for falling so hard and so fast for you, he knows you probably have another life outside of your job as his sister’s aide. He understands that what your doing is just your duty, you have no romantic feelings for him at all.

If he knows all this, then why, just why does his heart still skip a beat when you smile at him in the hallways of the mansion?

Radish Salad

Ayato Birthday Special 2023

→ Masterlist || → Taglist

Pairing: Ayato x (gn!) Reader

Summary: Ayato invites you to dinner on his birthday (Ayato 2023 birthday special)

Tags: Fluff, SFW

A/N: The simp in me spurred me on to pen something for Ayato's birthday... and after seeing his birthday artwork I just knew I had to. So here we are. Happy Birthday, Ayato <3

You coincidentally ran into Ayato this morning as you were out running errands on your day off. 

As usual, it was a pleasant, albeit rare, encounter to see your employer, the Yashiro Commissioner, casually drink tea in the courtyard of Komore Teahouse. You knew he didn’t get time for himself a lot. Usually, he was either too busy dealing with public affairs which caused him to be rarely at home. Or he was drowning in so much paperwork that he holed himself up in his office.

You shyly waved in his direction and smiled which he returned with an enchanting smile himself.

You were just about to walk on again when you heard him call your name. Inevitably your heart euphorically skipped a beat in your chest. Yet you were aware that harboring the feelings you did for your employer wasn’t right or appropriate so you tried to limit your interactions with him as of late. You knew being too hopeful about it would just end up in a heartbreak.

“I see you’re enjoying your day off.” he remarked with a kind smile. “Care to join me for a cup of tea?”

“Oh, uhm. I’d love to Lord Kamisato but I’m somewhat occupied right now.”

“A pity.” he hummed taking a sip out of his teacup before speaking once more after he set it back down on the table. “I had a package brought over to your house earlier. Make sure to open it today, I have extended an invitation for my birthday banquet later today and I want my most trusted staff to be there as well this year.”

You had not been aware that today was Ayato’s birthday, as he was a man who usually kept his cards close to his chest. So it wasn’t a surprise you didn’t know about it. Yet for some reason you felt guilty about not knowing as well.

“Oh, I had no idea, my apologies. Happy Birthday, my Lord.” you bowed your head in reverence to which he was quick to lift his hand.

“No need. I appreciate the birthday wishes. And I hope to see you later at the Estate.”

“Of course.” you agreed excitedly, unable to stop the corners of your mouth from crinkling upwards in anticipation. You knew you shouldn’t read into it too much but he did say he wanted his most trusted staff to be there as well, which meant, you were amongst them. It made your heart swell with pride as well as hope. Although you didn’t want to admit the latter.

You rushed home to retrieve whatever package he sent to you, only to find it leaning on the stone steps in front of your home. 

It was a small package with a pastel blue envelope stuck to it. Your name on it, as well as the letter itself, was written in Ayato’s elegant penmanship. 

The thought that the man of your dreams sat down to carefully pen your name on this very envelope you were holding, made heat rise to your face and a tidal wave of emotion wash over you, enveloping you in a cozy and soft warmth that radiated throughout your entire body.

The feeling however would prove to be fleeting as soon as you saw what the package contained that the letter was attached to. You carefully unwrapped it with an erratically beating heart, fantasizing about what the package could contain. But instead of what you envisioned, all you found were… radishes?

Was this supposed to be some kind of joke you didn’t get, a custom you never heard of, or perhaps a secret message? You were puzzled beyond belief but quickly decided to make some radish salad out of them to bring to the banquet later. Maybe everyone invited got some sort of vegetable they were supposed to prepare something with, right?

A couple of hours later as the sun was already setting on the horizon. And with a bowl of freshly made radish salad in hand, you found yourself standing in front of the Kamisato Estate. 

Your heart was beating fast as you knocked on the big front door. You were sure you could even hear it, no thanks to how quiet it was at the Estate today overall.

Additionally, it seemed to stay quiet inside. After waiting a couple more minutes you knocked again without success before deciding to walk to the garden of the Estate to see if you’d find anyone there.

Were you too early?

Walking along the stone path you soon spotted Ayato who seemed to be in the midst of sword practice.

Entranced by his fluid movements, you found yourself slowly sneaking closer to him in order to not disturb his focus.

“Lord Kamisato?” you ushered as soon as he halted his movements for a moment.

He visibly flinched, turning around in just the blink of an eye with the Katana in his hand extended in your direction, the blade turning into liquid blue with only a flash of his vision. 

“My apologies. I did not realize it was you.” he exclaimed, his eyes widened in shock as he put the katana back into its sheath before walking over to you.

“No please, I should apologize. I didn’t mean to startle you, my Lord. You must’ve been focused.” you shook your head slightly before extending the bowl with the radish salad in his direction with a sheepish smile. “I made this. It may be nothing special but I didn’t know what else to do with the radishes.”

“Radishes?” he questioningly raised an eyebrow while training his eyes on the salad.

“You sent me radishes. The package?”

The confusion on his face made your heart drop. You must’ve misunderstood the message and had now embarrassed yourself beyond belief in front of him.

“There was nothing else in the package?” he inquired.

“No. Nothing, my Lord.”

“No necklace?”

“No neck– w-what?” you stammered. What did he mean by necklace? Why would he send you a necklace?

He inched closer to you, gently taking the bowl out of your hands to place it on the stairs next to you, before leaning on the fence next to you with one arm.

His face was now hovering so close to yours that you could see the sheen of sweat from his training glistening in the evening sun. His enchanting lilac eyes trained on yours as a soft smile played around his lips.

“You heard me. I had a camellia necklace made just for you. It reassures me to know that this is why you’re not wearing it right now, my dear.”

He carefully tipped your chin up with his hand, brushing along your cheek with the back of his hand. You practically melted at the sensation as you felt the heat rise to your cheeks. The fluttering of your heart was so loud in your chest that you were sure he must be hearing it as well. You closed your eyes as you hesitantly leaned into his touch.

He watched your reaction before playfully biting his lower lip and almost boyishly smiling to himself.

When you opened your eyes again his face had become so close to yours, you could feel his breath fan over your lips and smell his aftershave. His long eyelashes accentuated his half-lidded eyes he had now trained on your eyes once more.

“I have a favor to ask of you… Please, call me Ayato from now on.” he whispered and with that closed the remaining distance between your faces, sealing your lips with his in a silent confession.

Inami/Yashiro and why it will end badly for Doumeki

Firstly I think something will happen with Inami purely based on the fact that he’s so present post time skip. The reason why it will end badly for Doumeki is the visceral reactions he has to the existence of Inami near Yashiro. It began by seeing his name on Yashiro’s phone, but I think what’s sealed their fate was Doumeki telling Inami to stay away from Yashiro. Inami will never leave Yashiro alone for two reasons - one the sick pleasure he derives from him and also the fact it brings such extreme responses out of Doumeki.

I think, in part some of Doumeki’s feelings towards Inami are driven by the fact Yashiro kept him around and tossed Doumeki away. But that’s because Inami is symbolic of Yashiro’s previous world views, that he’s a masochist that needs sex from those types of men to survive. One of my favourite parts of the original sex scene with Yashiro and Doumeki was Yashiro saying ‘Don’t break me’. Of course Doumeki would never break him, but in loving him and treating his body with care he did break him, because everything that Yashiro feels towards Doumeki goes against everything he told himself. Doumeki doesn’t seem to really see that side of Yashiro’s continued interactions with Inami, he just sees red.

Which is why I think murder could be on the cards. Doumeki went to prison once before for almost beating his father to death, now he’s living that Yakuza life, taking down Inami would probably be easy for him should a good opportunity for it occur.

chapter 51 musings/impressions

This chapter caused every synapse in my brain to fire off like cannonballs during a battle at high sea. This isn’t anything coherent, just word vomit as I process everything that’s happened. I may go back and edit as I think of more things or decide how to phrase other things better. cut for massive spoilers below. 

By the way, this is fantastic for non-Japanese reading fans because there is barely any dialogue. Just mad, bad, and rad touching, baby

-          The color pages are so ominous. Let’s get this pissed-off parade going

-          I don’t like Doumeki shoving Yashiro like that. With that being said, Yashiro SHOT DOUMEKI IN BOTH OF HIS LEGS and LEFT HIM IN AN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE. Not to mention Yashiro gets him back tenfold (twenty-fold?) in this very same chapter. So I can probably get over it.

-          Doumeki, who hasn’t moved a facial muscle in days, yells at a resisting Yashiro to stop acting like that when they’ve already done it; his expression is nothing like the cold, remote Yakuza he’s role-played as, but pure-cut Doumeki from pre-Sakura days, pre-hospital days: it’s not just anger at all, but desperation.

-          And Yashiro sees it: he realizes Doumeki is truly angry –the angriest he’s ever seen him, he thinks— and the switch is flipped. Doumeki’s indifference has eaten at him throughout the time-skip chapters; no matter how he prods or ingratiates himself, Doumeki seemed to be as unmoved as a mountain. I know there were even readers who questioned if Doumeki still loved Yashiro (which is, you know, absurd.) But now—now Doumeki is furious and it shows all over his face and his actions - and it’s because of Yashiro. Doumeki, who was unreachable, is suddenly right here. You can see Yashiro visibly relax into the ministrations; he pets Doumeki’s hair and even begins to pull the other man’s jacket off, which is shockingly active for him as a participant in sex.

-          Of course, this causes Doumeki to freeze in his angry lovemaking. Because he seems to know that Yashiro will be Pretty Unhappy with the back tattoo – the bridge that cannot be uncrossed, the hope of any reintegration to normal society extinguished. But how upset was he anticipating? Maybe he expected some disgust, or being called stupid, or for Yashiro to roll away and close himself off.  

-          I think it’s safe to say he didn’t expect Yashiro to have a genuine meltdown and proceed to beat the shit out of him with his bare hands. Yashiro’s eyes resemble the same wide, unhinged look when he tried to kill Hirata with a rock –but Doumeki was unconscious then. He’s never seen Yashiro out of control, especially with his emotions. In their first conversation, Doumeki relays that Yashiro “smiles even when he’s mad”, so he knew off the bat that Yashiro hides himself. He’s seen Yashiro kick Nanahara to injury, but there was a distance in that act, like a parent calmly disciplining a child. This rage feels like the child himself is screaming and pounding on the ground to exhaustion.

-          And Doumeki can see it. He lets Yashiro just pummel him right in the face. I think, in this world they’re in plagued with violence, this is as damning as a love confession. If Doumeki’s reaction is anything to go by, which is that after Yashiro exhausts himself, Doumeki cups his cheek and then kisses him full on the mouth.

-          Their pose near parallel to their first kiss, with Doumeki kissing from above with Yashiro’s eyes still wide open in shock.

-          But this time, instead of pushing away, Yashiro meets Doumeki fully: their kissing becomes heated, and it builds until Yashiro is all but sitting in Doumeki’s lap. There’s a frame of a single line of spit connecting their lips and it’s beautiful and filthy and a precursor to the feral sex that’s about to happen.

-          Naturally it ends here, because sensei wants us frothing at the mouth and ripping the upholstery apart for the next chapter as always.

- so what’s next? I think the sex is an absolute given; Doumeki’s hand is already dipping into the back of Yashiro’s pants (and Yashiro jolts / shivers in response) on the last page, so unless Kamiya comes barging in - well, actually, even if he does come barging in, Doumeki is going to use his entire Yakuza Superior Authority and make him leave, so. I think 52 is going to be raunchy as hell, and also sad, and also intense, because that’s saezuru.

- I mean, they’re gonna break the bed, right? that flimsy-ass frame that only holds Doumeki and not a single pound more? they might have better luck on the floor, but somehow I feel like both want to deliberately fuck that poor mattress into the below neighbor’s living room.

- And what happens from here? There’s still an investigation happening; the bad guys are still out there, targeting Doumeki. Yashiro now has to contend with the idea that Doumeki is fully “in”. Will he rejoin the Yakuza despite finally getting one foot out the door? It’s really hard to say. Personally I think they should just move abroad to Hawaii or somewhere and live peacefully and anonymously on Yashiro’s hoards of cash he’s accumulated in the last 4 years.

My Saviour: Part 5

Warnings: emotionally abusive parents, mentions of murder attempt, Very fluff, lots of love coming for the next 2-3 parts! As the story progresses I might even write a smut scene, but let’s see! Enjoy<3

Ayato held you in his arms for a long time in your room. He just couldn’t let you go, not after seeing you so broken, so frail and weak. He also hadn’t seen you since a month, and the separation made both of you crave for the other’s warmth. Eventually, he pulled apart gently, kissing the remaining tears away from your face and looked at you with a gentle smile. “Come on Daarin, let’s go downstairs hm? It’s time for you to finally leave this prison and enter your palace..”

You looked unsure for a moment, thinking about it. Of course you wanted to leave this place, but you also knew both of your status as noble people. “Ayato..people might talk nonsense, spread rumours about us if I were to live with you before marriage..” he chuckled softly, shaking his head reassuringly. “Do you trust me Daarin?” “With my life” you said without a moments hesitation. You really did trust him a lot, he had proven time and time again how much he loved you.

Ayato’s smile widened, as he held his hand out for you. “Then take my hand, hold your head up high. You are the queen of the Kamisato Clan, the queen of the Yashiro Commission and the queen of my heart. Don’t show them your tears, show them your pride. You are my pride love, and I’m going to show you what happens to the people who dare to mess with you.”

You felt your heart skip a beat at those words. He held you in such high regard? It felt unbelievable. From being an unwanted child, a burden all your life, you had gone to become the queen of the Yashiro Commissioner’s heart. Nothing else mattered anymore. With ayato by your side, you were ready to face anything. Feeling a newfound sense of confidence and purpose, you nodded, wiping the tear stains off your face. You placed your hand in his, standing up once again like you always did after your parents crushed you down. But this time, you had Ayato’s hand to hold. “Let’s go downstairs then.”

The man in front of you felt his heart swell in pride. He was going to make sure you would never again have to bow down in front of anyone. Your respect, your pride and your safety was his responsibility and his priority. Just like he had always kept Ayaka safe, he would now protect you too. His family is his everything. “That’s my girl!” He said, the familiar twinkle in his lavender eyes making you giggle softly. He truly managed to make you smile no matter what. He intertwined his fingers with yours, giving your hand a reassuring squeeze as he led you back downstairs.

The scene you came across downstairs was far from what you were expecting. In the living room were your parents, on their knees. Chisato and her parents were also there, and you noticed the anger and shame written all over their faces. Kujou Sara and Kujou Kamaji were present along with a few guards from the Tenryou Commission. And lastly, Ayaka came to view, her expressions full of concern and anger. It was the first time you had ever seen anything other than her lively smile on her face, and it’s safe to say she looked intimidating. You frowned, looking at Ayato who himself held a stern and stoic expression on his face. You were absolutely confused, and noticed everyone’s faces turn towards you both as you finally entered the area.

“I sincerely thank you all for coming here on my request. Lady Sara, I trust you have found and verified the evidence?” You heard Ayato say, his voice had once again become authoritative and his speech was formal. “Yes Commissioner, everything has been verified as the truth. But we will still need Lady Y/N’s narrative on her issue.” Sara replied, as she looked at you, giving you a respectful nod. You reciprocated the action, but the confusion never left your face. Why was such a big ruckus being created about your matter that all the 3 commissions were present here? Surely what your parents had done to you was not enough to gain such magnitude of attention.

“Please..forgive me for being impolite, but surely the treatment I’ve had to endure wouldn’t gain the attention of the Tri-commission?” Ayaka came to you, hugging you softly and finally cleared your confusion, which left you shocked and disgusted. “Along with the cruelties your parents inflicted upon you, we have also found evidence that they had ulterior motives of arranging your marriage with brother..”

“Ulterior motives?” You spoke, your eyes glancing at your parents who refused to look at anyone in the eye. Ayato caresses your hand gently with his thumb, adding onto what Ayaka had said. “Your parents wished to overthrow Lady Chisato and her parents to become the head of the Kanjou Commission. Along with that, Ayaka and the Shumatsubaan also caught their spies in the Kamisato Estate, trying to steal important documents from my office while I had gone to search for you.” Your eyes widened at this, and you were left shocked and disgusted. How could they stoop so low? You could not believe you were the daughter of such selfish and shameless people.

“It doesn’t end there Lord Ayato..” spoke Chisato’s soft voice, but you could sense the anger in her words. You saw everyone turn their attention to Chisato, who held up a bag which contained perhaps the most horrifying contents you had ever come across. In that bag was a dagger, and some pills. “These pills…are the ones that can cause a mother to miscarry a child. They were specifically ordered by your parents Y/N, in case they found out that you were going to give birth to a daughter in the future. And the dagger…well, if their plan hadn’t worked, they were going to kill their own daughter.”

Everyone in the room apart from Chisato and her parents gasped, and Ayato immediately stepped in front of you protectively. How dare they even think of harming you like this? His anger now knew no bounds, as he drew his sword, his hydro vision glowing dangerously. “How.Dare.You.Two” each word he spoke sent a shiver down everyone’s spine, but Sara stepped in front of him, trying to calm him down somehow. “Lord Kamisato, your anger is completely justified. But killing them will not solve anything, rather it will pose difficulties for you and your clan.” Ayato stopped, but did not keep his weapon away. You could see the sword surrounded by water, and you knew only you could calm him down. You silently signalled Sara to step back, and went in front of Ayato. Looking at you he immediately felt his eyes soften, but just the thought of you getting harmed was enough to enrage him.

“Lady Sara, Lord Kamaji and Chisato, can I please request you to escort my parents and everyone here somewhere else? Im afraid the longer they’re here, the more difficult it’ll get to pacify the situation.” They all nodded at your words, as the guards harshly led your parents away. Now it was just you, Ayato and Ayaka in the room. You gently placed your hands on Ayato’s cheeks, making him look into your eyes. “Look at me Ayato. Im alright, you saved my life. No one is going to harm me. Please calm down, killing them will only dirty your hands, nothing else.” “It does not matter Daarin, they had plans to kill you, to harm..our future family. My family. How can I sit back and let them get away?”

“They’re not getting away Ayato…their crimes are way too many, the Tri-commission has been involved. Their reputation and pride are gone. This is perhaps the greatest punishment in itself.” Ayato kept his sword away, as you saw it disappear back into the golden particles that had appeared when he summoned his sword earlier. “They deserve to rot in hell for their crimes, this is nothing.” “Brother, Y/N is right. If you harm them in everyone’s presence, it’ll complicate things for us and ruin the impact of all the evidence. Their punishment will now be decided by the Almighty Shogun herself. One thing the Shogun despises the most is disloyalty and betrayal, and the crimes of these people will not go unnoticed by her. For our sake brother, please let go of your anger..”

You saw ayato relax a little, sighing softly as he just hugged you and Ayaka tightly. He really was so protective. You Both smiled at each other, hugging him back. “You both are my whole world..I cannot imagine what would happen to me if someone harmed either of you..” you felt so indescribably safe in his arms, placing a tender kiss on his cheek. “With you in our lives, no harm can come to us Ayato..we all are safe. But, how did all of this even happen? And when?” You saw Ayato smile as he looked at his sister with a proud smile. “It’s all thanks to my dear sister. She knew that your parents kept you trapped here to lure me out. That is why the guards outside this estate hadn’t even tried to stop me. But your naive parents did not know the power of the Shirasagi Himegimi of the Yashiro Commission.”

You saw Ayaka smile at the praise her brother gave, and you knew she felt so happy to have helped him this way. “You compliment me too much brother! This was a collective effort really. Chisato helped us a lot, she was the one who convinced Kamaji and Sara to help us out, not to mention the fact that she found out about their sinister plans too.”

“I am so thankful to all of you, especially you both…i..I don’t know what I did to deserve a family like you and Ayato. You all saved me, I’m forever indebted to all of you..I don’t know how to thank you two..” Ayaka laughed, hugging you. “Oh come on, since when did we both become so formal? We are family now! Family always look out for one another right?” You smiled with tears of happiness in your eyes. Ayato then kissed your forehead, holding both of you close in his arms again. “You don’t have to thank us my love..you are so important for both Ayaka and I. And now you will get the love of a real family. Your days of despair are over my angel.”

Am I the only one that thinks doumeki gets unfair treatment from the saezuru fandom? Like he is one that gets blamed yashiro have low self-esteem after the time -skip all because he acts indifferent towards him.

I think people forget that he has every right to be mad at yashiro because no matter how you look at it what he did was wrong his intentions are pure but how he did it was wrong but I saw some people saying that doumeki doesn't have the right to be cold or indifferent since he was the one following yashiro around. It's just so sad how people treat that poor man when all he has ever asked for was just to stay by the man he loves side.

What do you think about this?

You are definitely not the only one who feels that Doumeki is treated unfairly lol I get a good amount of asks about it. I will always be a Doumeki defender but I also think that he deserves some criticism. I don’t think it is his right to decide if Yashiro has sex with other men or not but that looks like it will be touched on in the story itself. But I also think Yashiro deserves just as much criticism. I don’t think one is worse or better than the other but only one typically gets assigned the blame or responsibility. I feel for Doumeki that he got his heart broken and all he wanted was to stay with the man he loved but Yashiro chose to let him go and he accepted that decision. The way Yashiro went about it is something Doumeki is resentful of but a lot of us would be too. It wasn’t a nice end; Yashiro shoots Doumeki, Doumeki keeps Hirata from killing Yashiro, and then Hirata shoots Doumeki. He then wakes up in the hospital and Nanahara, not even Yashiro, is the one who breaks the news that Yashiro forgot him and that he is basically let go. Doumeki was knocked out when Yashiro beat Hirata with the rock so he didn’t see that. After all that, Yashiro acted like Doumeki didn’t exist (in Doumeki’s eyes) so of course he is resentful and angry. Not to mention the way Yashiro was acting overall in volume 6. I get that Yashiro was doing it out of desperation but that doesn’t make Doumeki’s pain any lesser. Both things can be true at the same time. As for Doumeki being the reason for Yashiro’s low self esteem, I really disagree with that. Yashiro’s problems didn’t start with Doumeki and Doumeki’s problems didn’t start with Yashiro. As for opinions in the saezur fandom, we’re not always going to agree with others. Some of it is really harsh towards Doumeki, some are fair criticisms of him and some are empathetic towards him. You just have to choose the ones you agree with.
