A Selkie and A Succubus
A03 Link
"Linkkkkkkk. I'm hungry." Ravio's tail batted insistently against the selkie's leg, draping himself over Link's shoulder.
"Can't wait?" Link leveled a flat stare at his boyfriend. Ravio's little bat wings fluttered impatiently, and he made a big show of pouting.
"Fine. Here." Link set down the skillet he was frying eggs on and kissed the succubus on the cheek. Ravio trilled in delight. "Thanks for the snack."
Such a glutton. Link had given him sleepy cuddles this morning for a full hour. That was basically a three course meal for the succubus. Sure, the food might be more mild than others of his kind went for, but Ravio had admitted to never wanting anything spicier than some kisses. Even then, he preferred neck kisses to mouth kisses, citing grossness.
Even after getting his snack, Ravio clung to Link like a koala, tail snaking around his leg and squeezing in a miniature hug. Link rolled his eyes, but smiled all the same. Ravio was such a cuddle bug, in a way Link was 100% sure had nothing to do with the sustenance he got from affection.
“You’re going to have to get dressed and go to work eventually.”
“Nooooo,” Ravio whined, curling his tail tighter. “Sleep. And food.” His wings fluttered behind him.
“Guess that means we won’t have any rupees to spend on a date night this week,” Link teased. “I’ll just have to leave you all alone while I go dungeon crawling to pay for your lazy days.”
“Ugh. You’re the worst.” Ravio pouted, puffing out his cheeks and making sad puppy eyes. Still, the promise of money and dates was enough to spur him into his morning routine, pulling off oversized pajamas and donning his usual purple robes. There was a slit in the robes for his tail to curl out, and the back had been cut out from his shoulder blades to mid-back to make room for his wings. 
“See, was that so hard?”
“Your eggs are burning.”
“Shit!”

Ravio’s Rabbit Rentals was a two person outfit. Link explored dungeons, killed monsters, and collected everything that caught his interest while exploring. Then, Ravio would take the spoils and do his best to rent or sell Link’s items to any less experienced adventurers wanting an edge in their own quests. Link would complain that he did all the hard work while Ravio just stole his things to sell, but it was all for show. He wanted nothing to do with customer service or figuring out the market on how much magical items would be worth. Not to mention Ravio actually had to go out and do collection runs to get his rentals back, which seemed like no fun. So for all Link would whine, he was quite happy with the arrangement.
Ravio had a winning smile and perfect suck-up tone when he was on the clock. 
“You seem ruggedly handsome, like you could climb the cliffs of Death Mountain alone! With the Tornado Rod to help speed things along, I’m sure you could tackle the Tower of Hera.”
“Oh, you look so clever, Miss. Why not take a bomb bag rental? You seem like you could find so many ways to use them.”
Link didn’t get it, but he was happy he didn’t have to.
Some time later, Link was doing basic weapon maintenance, sharpening swords, refilling the mana on enchanted rings, when he heard it.
“You’re the local succubus, right?” A woman’s voice sounded.
“Ravio of Ravio’s Rabbit Rentals, that’s me! Would you be interested in our wares? I have a lovely fire rod with your name on it!” So overzealous in his sales pitches, that one.
“Actually, I was more interested in a service you provide.” Her tone was sultry, making Link roll his eyes. Sometimes customers would come in and try to flirt. Ravio usually took advantage of their interest to make them leave with arms full and wallets empty.
“A service? Oh, are you looking to rent? Or perhaps pawn, we are willing to do minor loans for dungeon loot!” Did they do pawn services? Eh, best not to think about it. Ravio was just responsible enough for Link to let him handle the business without oversight. Emphasis on ‘just enough’.
“I’m looking to rent,” The customer purred. Honest to god purred. Like a cat. Was she a werebeast? Link couldn’t help but peek his head from around the corner. Nope. Vampire. So she was just shameless.
“Well, if you want an itemized list of all rentals we have available or are expecting back within the next two weeks, I can go get the inventory log for you-”
“Oh I’m not looking for something in inventory. I’m looking to rent some time with you.” There was the sound of shuffling and cloth meeting cloth. Was she backing Ravio into a table?
“O-oh. Um. I don’t really? Do that sort of thing?” Ravio squeaked.
“C’mon, you’re a succubus. You’re going to say no to money and food? I heard you’d do anything for a quick rupee.” If it were in any other context, Link would agree. Ravio would probably eat glass for five rupees. But with the terrible flirtatious tone she was using…
Ok, that was it, Link was stepping in. “Excuse me, can I help you?” He made sure to bring his sword with him, and intentionally sheathed and unsheathed it to make an audible shink, smiling as the woman flinched back. Ravio let out an audible sigh of relief as he walked in.
“Huh? You didn’t tell me there were other people in here!” She looked accusingly at Ravio.
“Oh, did you not hear? This is my partner and supplier, Link. He is the source for all our wares. He’s braved Lynels, hordes of Daira, and even fell the evil sorcerer who kidnapped the princess some years back. He’s very talented.” Ravio took the chance to slip away from the customer’s reach and hide behind Link, reaching to squeeze Link’s right hand.
“Sorry about not finding what you want here. Ravio has a discerning palate.” Link smirked as she caught the underhanded insult, mouth opening and closing like a fish. To punctuate his point, Link leaned over and gave Ravio a peck on the cheek, never taking his eyes off the vampire.
If she had blood left in her veins, her face probably would have paled. Instead, her eyes just widened and she hurried to make her leave, accidentally stubbing her toe on the leg of a table in her scramble to leave as fast as possible.
“Thanks for the help, Link.” Ravio returned the kiss on the cheek, smiling gratefully. 
“No problem. I swear, your customers get the dumbest ideas.”
“I mean, I get it. I’m not really normal,” Ravio sighed, eyes cast to the floor.
“Hey, hey. What do I keep telling you? There’s nothing wrong with you.” Link cupped his hands under Ravio’s chin and gently pulled his gaze back up. “You can eat or not eat whatever you want, nobody else gets uppity about food preferences.”
“I know, I know,” Ravio put his hand over Link’s leaning his cheek into the touch. “Sometimes it’s just hard to remember when people like her come in. And it’s not like I avoid it, I know I get close to customers when I make sales pitches.”
“Hey, calling someone handsome or pretty is by no means free reign for someone to come in and ask for ‘services’.” Link pushed his forehead against Ravio’s. “Are you ok? Do you need to close the shop early?”
“No, I’m fine, thanks to you.” Ravio leaned in for a quick peck on the lips. “Thank you for saving me, Mr. Hero.”

"That pelt you're wearing around your shoulders, it's selkie, right?"
Ravio shifted uncomfortably. Two belligerent customers in one day? Seriously? "Ah, yes, but-"
"I'll pay top rupee if you're willing to part with it. Those go for high prices, even without the monster they're attached to. I mean, that's potentially eternal servitude right there. Not to mention how high quality the magic inside is." When he had first seen the man come in, his thick wallet had excited Ravio. Now, dread was pooling in his stomach.
"This isn't for sale, but maybe I can point you to some wonderful magic tunics from the depths of a dungeon?" Ravio forced a smile on his face, trying to redirect.
"Hah, don't you worry. I'll spend enough to buy you a legion of servants to replace your selkie. If you need him for the food, I can ensure you'll be feasting on the finest love money can buy."
Ravio's eye twitched. "I don't need servants, and I'm perfectly content with my eating arrangement as is. Please look only at wares on display. Otherwise I'll need to ask you to leave."
"Now, now. Everyone has some price. Please, ask for anything your heart desires, I can make it happen-"
Ravio's tail snapped in anger, hitting the table next to him. "Sir. The thing my heart desires most in this moment is for you to shut the hell up, buy something that's actually for sale, then leave and never come back to my house again. If you want a selkie pelt so badly, go scrape up some stinking dignity and convince someone to give theirs to you. I doubt you ever can because you think no matter how atrocious you are, you can pay to make up for it. There's not enough rupees in the world that would ever have me tied to a sniveling, old money brat who waves around his wealth to make up for the inadequacy of every other thing about him. So either get something that actually has a price tag, or get out."
The man sputtered, red in the face. He tried and failed to make a comeback, then angrily tried to yank the pelt around Ravio's shoulders. Really? Stealing? Ravio stepped back, and whistled for backup. Sheerow swooped in, pecking the man relentlessly.
"Ow! Owowowowow!" The little white bird pecked the man onto the welcome mat and out the door, slamming the door behind him for good measure.
"You're such a good business partner, you know that?" His friend landed in his cupped palms, and chirped happily as Ravio snuggled him close to his face.
“That was kinda hot.” Link was leaning against the door frame, a grin splitting his face. Ravio flushed red and jumped, realizing he wasn’t alone.
“Ah! Sorry you had to see that. Do you want your pelt back?” Ravio adjusted the pelt around his shoulders. When they first started dating, Link gave it to him as a sign of trust. Link would still take it with him when he needed to swim in the oceans, but most of the time he left the soft pink fur in Ravio’s hands. Still, there were some nights when Link would take the pelt and hold it close to his chest, eyes foggy with awful memories. Ravio wanted him to feel safe and secure; his Hero deserved that much.
“Why would I? Clearly it's in good hands.” Link sauntered over and kissed into his hair. The succubus’ tail flicked and his wings fluttered. Link’s kisses were always so delicious; his boyfriend spoiled him with how well he ate.
“I won’t let anyone else touch it. You’re so important to me, you know that?” Ravio looked up at Link, feeling the affection burning in his chest. “Even if I’m a coward, I’ll still protect it with my life.”
“I know you will.” Link’s voice was filled with so much love and trust, Ravio felt the satiation of fullness as he drank up the words. 
Ravio truly was blessed.

hello! could you make a headcanons of (saga,mu,shaka,aiolia,milo and kanon) with the readers on the beach please 🌸!!
Here you go! Sorry it came out so late! 
Warning: Reader gets catcalled in Saga’s and Kanon’s HC’s, protective boyfriends
Saga:
Saga is a big man, both in height and muscle wise. When you mentioned wanting to go to the beach, he smiled and agreed to your idea. 
Saga had on normal black swim trunks and a white t-shirt while you had on a dark navy blue bikini with a flower print on it. 
You had your hair pulled back into a ponytail and sunglasses on with a wide smile on your face.
When you and Saga reached the beach, you climbed out of the car and ran towards the water. Saga just shook his head with a soft chuckle. 
He got everything out of the car and found a spot to put everything down.
As he stood up to go and meet you in the water, you ran right to him and hid behind him. He turned to see you slightly shaking but there was something else that seemed to have scared you
A loud whistle brought the Gemini’s saint’s attention to a group of men who were catcalling his girlfriend. 
“Hey beautiful! Come with us and we can show you a real good time!” 
Saga felt his eye twitch in annoyance before he shuffled over towards the men. Before they could even protest, Saga landed punch after punch towards their faces. 
“Don’t ever catcall or whistle towards my girl again. You hear me!” Saga snarled. 
The men nodded in fear and raced away from him and you. Saga returned to your side and wrapped his arms around you. “That will never happen again.”
Shaka:
You had begged Shaka to take you to the beach for days now. He finally caved and said that he would take you. 
You had on a one piece spring yellow swimsuit with a swim skirt that had daisies on it. 
Shaka just wore white swim trunks. A soft smile sat on his lips as he watched you climb out of the car and race towards the water. 
“This girl is going to be the death of me one day.” Shaka said, chuckling as he pulled the beach chairs, and lunch cooler from the car. 
Shaka had just finished putting everything up and had the umbrella situated behind the chairs to block the sun when he heard you running towards him.
He turned around to find you with sand in your hair, a red mark on your face and tears falling down your face. 
“What happened?!” He whispered, pressing his hand to your face while you cried into his chest. 
You pointed towards a group of girls laughing and mocking you. Shaka grew angry. He intertwined his fingers with yours and walked towards the water. 
Once in the water, he gently cupped some water in his hand and got your hair wet before giving you a gentle smile. 
You moved to your knees and allowed Shaka to dunk you under water. 
One of the girls swam over and tried to pull him towards their group but he threw her off and grinned in satisfaction when he heard her splash in the water. 
Aiolia:
Aiolia decided to surprise you with a trip to the beach. A smile on his face as he watched your excitement turn into pure joy when the beach came into view.
When the car pulled to a stop, you jumped from the car and ran towards the water. However, you stopped and walked back. A smile on your face. 
“I need the sunscreen first.” You mumbled, causing Aiolia to chuckle before pulling the sunscreen from the bag. 
“Would you like me to get your back?” he asked, genuinely worried that you would get sunburn in random spots on your back. 
You smiled and nodded your head. You pulled your hair up into a ponytail before turning around. 
Once the sunscreen had been applied, you then ran towards the water. The white bikini with the blue flowers and hearts looked so pretty on you. 
Aiolia quickly got everything from the car and began setting things up when the sound of laughter, splashing, and a submerged cry for help caught his attention. 
He turned around to find a group of girls laughing as one of them held you down in the water. 
Aiolia raced towards them and pushed the girl that was drowning you away causing her to cry out. 
“What the hell is your problem?!” He snapped at the girls scaring them. One girl tried to pull you from his arms but he just pushed her away from him, anger emanating from his person. 
The rest of the time Aiolia never left your side. He glared at anyone that came too close to you or him for that matter.
Mu:
You couldn’t contain your excitement anymore. You hadn’t been to the beach in the longest time.
Mu smiled at you and watched you with a soft smile on your face. “Are you ready for our date hon?” He asked. 
You smiled and nodded your head. “I’m so excited, I can’t even tell you.” You said turning to face him with the biggest smile on your face. 
Once you had gotten the car parked, everything on the beach, you darted for the water. 
Mu was just about to pull his shirt off and join you but grunted when you ran into his back. 
“Baby, what’s wrong?” He turned to face you but all questions flew out of his mind when he saw you crying. 
He looked towards the water and found a group of people looking towards them laughing and pointing. He narrowed his eyes. 
“What did they do sweetheart?” He asked, before noticing a tear in the new swimsuit you had bought. You had bought a pretty dark pink one piece with black and white polka dotted swim short shorts and now the swimsuit had small holes and tears in it. 
Mu and you walked down towards the water only for Mu to scare the ever living shit out of them before a giggle left your mouth making him happy. 
The group glared at him but decided to leave the spot and never came back to bother you again.
“Thank you Mu, I can’t believe I almost let them ruin our date.” You mumbled softly. Mu leaned forward and pressed his lips to yours in a gentle kiss. “It didn’t ruin our date at all.” He whispered.
Milo:
Milo is definitely not one to go out and about especially if the place has a lot of people there. 
However, when it's you that asks him to go with you to the beach, he can’t really tell you no. He loves you too much.
“What do you think?” you asked, walking out of the bathroom in your bikini. It was a red top with a black and white polka dotted swim shorts.
Milo smiled softly before walking towards you. “You look absolutely stunning my dear. Shall we go?” He asked. 
You smiled and nodded your head. You quickly pulled your hair in a ponytail and then braided the ponytail.
Milo was bound and determined to give you a good time and decided that he would wear his swim trunks in case you decided to drag him into the water with you. 
When you reached the beach, you helped Milo get everything from the car and on the sand before you took his hand in yours and pulled him towards the water. 
He shook his head but chuckled as he followed you. 
While you and him were splashing around in the water, a group of girls made a crude comment about you causing you to become really self conscious. 
“Let’s leave.” You told Milo, tears threatening to fall down your face. 
Milo didn’t let what those girls said slide. You turned your head at the sound of screaming and found Milo splashing the girls and not letting up. “Don’t ever say that about my girlfriend ever again.” He snapped.
Kanon:
“Please!!!!! It's so hot outside and going to the beach sounds like so much fun!” You pulled at your boyfriend's arm in hopes that he would give and go to the beach with you.
He sighed but smiled up at you and nodded his head. “Alright. Go get in your swimsuit and I will change into mine.” He mumbled. 
You darted for your room and smiled when you quickly got into your swimsuit. 
It was a black bikini with white, pink, and purple polka dots. Smiling, you braid your hair while humming. 
When you finished, you helped Kanon get lunch prepared and get the beach chairs in the car. A smile present on both of your faces.
When you both arrived at the beach, you couldn’t contain your excitement and Kanon couldn’t help but smile at you. 
“Go and have fun, I’ll get the chairs and things up and then join you.” Kanon said, pressing a kiss to your forehead. 
You smiled at him before racing towards the water. You dove into the water and Kanon let a loud laugh ring out.
Kanon stretched out his back when he felt you ram right into his back. He turned around to see you shaking like a leaf. 
His head snapped up when he heard a cat whistle from a group of boys walking towards them. “Come and hang with us, beautiful!” one of the boys called out. 
You had tears falling down your face and Kanon was pissed down. He walked towards the boys and your head shot up when you heard punching and yelps. “Don’t ever come near my girl again, or there will be something much worse that happens.” Kanon spat out towards the boys who nodded and ran away.

Good Omens season 1 & 2 spoilers
I don't know if someone already did this
But we all know that scene in Good Omens where Aziraphale puts his wing over Crowley to shield him from rain
Tumblr media
We all thought he was the kindest and cutest (protective bf) ever
He is
However now that there is a season two we got something incredibly
Because in season 2 we get to know more about their history, how they bonded over all these years and, most importantly, how they met in the first place
Tumblr media
This was minutes after they first talked to each other and in this scene Crowley put his wing over Aziraphale to shield him from meteors
So, right after they met Crowley was the one who was the kind (protective bf) stranger and not the other way around
Aziraphale doing the same gesture back to Crowley just means that he never forgot about how they first met and what kindness was once (and probably still is) inside of this man and believes in him no matter how often Crowley denies it

When the wing spiker on the opposing team calls Oikawa a “faggy whore,” Kageyama is under the net in a millisecond, Atsumu leaps around it, and Ushijima charges right through it, tearing it to shreds.
The guy is extremely lucky that he himself is not torn to shreds in the seconds that follow.

Peter & Bob treffen auf Brittany und sind nicht glücklich darüber.
Peter: Ich weiß, ich sollte keine Frauen schlagen, aber...
Bob: Hey, ich bin für Gleichberechtigung! Außerdem wenn du nichts sagst, sag ich auch nichts.
Brittany: Hey, hey Jungs... das würde Justus doch nicht wollen...
Peter: Oh, mach dir mal keine Sorge um Justus.
Bob: Er wird davon niemals etwas erfahren.
Peter: Und wenn du es ihm erzählen willst, wird er dir nicht glauben.
Bob: Weil du eine Lügnerin bist.
Brittany: Eh... a-aber er wird es herausfinden. 
Bob und Peter sahen sich amüsiert an.
Bob: Oh Brittany, wir kennen Justus für den größten Teil seines Lebens.
Peter: Und während er wirklich sehr viel bemerkt...
Bob: ...muss man als sein Freund irgendwann lernen, wie man seine Geheimnisse vor ihm beschützt.
Peter: Sonst wüsste er all die Dinge, über die wir nicht sprechen möchten.
Bob: *vielsagender Gesichtsausdruck* Mhm~
Brittany: Was soll denn das bedeuten?
Bob: Du willst nicht, dass einer deiner Freunde immer weiß mit wem du letzte Nacht geschlafen hast.
Peter: Oder mit welche alten Feinden man sich rumgeschlagen hat.
Bob: Ha! Rumgeschlagen *knackt die Fingerknöchel*
Peter: *baut sich noch breiter auf als ohnehin schon* Letzte Chance abzuhauen!
Ich würde es lieben, wenn Bob und Peter sich Brittany annehmen, damit Justus sie nicht noch mal trifft. Es wäre nur noch etwas besser wenn meine Protective Boys Tante Mathilda auf Brittany hetzen. Die würde die Bratpfanne zücken und Brittany windelweich schlagen.
Natürlich bluffen Peter und Bob hier nur.

The fact that hell’s directory of angels tells any demon who has had any interactions with Aziraphale to immediately report to Crowley is such a funny detail. They really have been playing the long game.

I just noticed when Ozzie appears behind Fizz, the initial explosion shows his sigil for exactly ONE frame (replacing Mammon's sigil we've seen plastered throughout the episode). I just thought it was a neat little detail, Asmodeus essentially summoned himself in that moment.

Dune: Paul Atreides x female reader
Warnings: se&ual harassment / angst / curses / hateful words / comfort
If someone means harm to the girl he loves, Paul won't hesitate
Words: 1k
_______________________________
You stare at the men and women right in front of you. All of them were looking at you with the same emotions pictured in their faces. Disgust. Outrage. 
Today was the first day after Paul announced your relationship to his people. The Fremen welcomed you with open arms… well some of them at least. Your roots lies with none of the big houses. All you know about your family is, that they were travelers who never lived at the same place for more than a couple of years. You are one of the Lost Ones. But when Paul rescued you from being tortured by the brutal Harkonen a couple months ago, you never thought about traveling somewhere else again. Your people always praised that the soul is a free from wich never settles and never find the one and only home. Paul changed your way of thinking. With him you felt at home for the first time ever. 
„The Mahdi can’t be with someone who is lost“, one of the believers growled as you were passing by. All you wanted to do was taking a walk and exploring the hallways of the Sietch, one of the rocky formations what the Fremen call their home. And now you are standing in front of a hand full of believers who are talking bad about you. 
A old, wrinkly woman hisses. „You don’t belong here, Lost One.“ 
You look at her fully blue eyes. The same color your eyes have turned as an outcome to the effects of spice everywhere. „Please let me through. I don’t wish for trouble.“ 
Now a young man steps right in front of you. Too close to be comfortable with. You try to move and bring some distance between the two of you, but your back almost immediately hits the wall. Your chest tightens up. This feels like a cage. A cage of people who hate you. 
„But you are trouble, whore.“ He couldn’t have been more than five years older than you, but he was so intimidating that you wanted to flee before he would hurt you. You still are one of the Lost Ones. Their are no fighters. Your people staying alive because they run for dear life when problems appear. That’s why the Fremen always looked down on your kind. 
„All your people do, is stealing and living in the shadows. You are not worthy to be here. Your are not worthy to be with Muad’Dib“, he grabbed your neck with a tight grib. „But I’ll find some use for u, don’t you worry.“ 
The others looked away while he is dragging you to a shallow corner at the end of the hallway. Your screams got muffled by his greasy hand and silent tears filled your eyes. The back of your head hit the wall hard and your vision flickers for a moment. Fear crawling all over your body, followed by the tip of his knife. You’re trying to beg for him to stop, but all he does is giggling at your helplessness. 
„I will show you your worth and after that I will give your body to the desert. I will…“ 
A voice is shouting at the near distance. „Where is she?!“ The man fearlessly let’s go of you and hiding his knife. You fall down on your knees as Paul rushes around the corner. Gentle hands pulling you up and you begin to sob, hiding your face at his chest. 
„How dare you to touch her!“ Paul growls at the man who is now lowering his head in respect for his Duke. 
„I did not want to bring any disrespect to you, Mahdi. But this woman damages you reputation. She is not worthy to be …“ but Paul cuts him off. 
„She is equal to me. I am who I am today, because of her. How dare you to speak about her like that?“ His voice became dangerously silent and you could feel under your palms how tense his muscles were. As you look around you discover that people have stopped and watching the scene with wide eyes. 
You reach up to gently touch his cheek, so Paul would look at you. „I’m okay, Paul. Nothing happened. I’m unharmed.“ 
For a moment the coldness in his eyes vanished, but as he looked down at your neck and saw the bruises … he was ready to kill someone. Paul kisses your forehead and it feels like that he needed to do it just to calm himself down, before he would actually cut a throat. His grip around your waist thightens but not in a hurtful way. You never felt more protected as right here in is arms. 
Paul turns his head slowly. A deadly look on his face. The man kneeled down in fear of his punishment. „I will only say this once and for all. Who ever touches this woman and mean harm to her, will be sentenced to death. Without exceptions.“ He looks around, making eye contact with everyone who is watching. „Spread the word. I will personally kill everyone no matter if man or woman.“ 
The Fremen quickly leaving the place murmuring and chattering. The message was clear. If you break this rule, death by Muad’Dip will find you. 
„And for you“, Paul looked down at the man who tried to do unspeakable things to you. His voice full of dark rage. „If you ever come near her again or look at her even from afar, I’ll break your neck.“ He gave two other men a sign to carry him away. 
„I should have known that something like that might would happen“, Paul curses. „I’m so sorry. I should have never left you go alone.“ His eyes meet yours and the deep sorrow in them breaks your heart a little. 
„You couldn’t ever have guessed that. This isn’t your fault and it’s not your job to see something like that before it happens.“ 
Paul pulls you closer now that the two of you are alone. „But is is my job to protect you.“ 
„And you did.“ 
He leans his forehead against yours, taking a deep breath. His body is still tense but his touch is so gently. „I don’t want to imagine what could’ve happened if I weren’t be here on time … I couldn’t…“ his voice breaks. This is the side of him no one ever sees. The softness and the vulnerability. To everyone he is the fearless Muad’Dib. But to you he is Paul Atreides. The man who owns your heart. 
„Then don’t. You saved me. I am right here.“ To prove your point you get on your tiptoes and kiss him softly. Paul cups your face with his hands, holding you so close to him that nothing would have room in between.

What drives me even more insane about this scene is how you'd expect Gojo to imagine High school era! Geto in the crowd. Or at least not the cult leader, worst of all the curse users Geto Suguru. But no, it's the cult leader Geto. It's Geto as Gojo last remembered him. As Geto last was. Whatever choices Geto made, wherever his choices led him and them, however he was, whoever he was, traumas and messed up ideas and bad choices and ill reputations and scorns and all. Gojo wanted Geto Suguru there. Not any ideal version. Not any "what if" version. Not any "at some point in time before things went downhill" version. Not any "when your hands weren't stained with innocent blood" version. He knew very well what he wanted. And he wanted it all the same. He wanted Geto Suguru. However he was. He just wanted him to be there. He just wanted him to be.
And he didn't want him to help him, he didn't want him to fight with him even if they were strongest together and always fought together for a while. He just wanted him to be there in the crowd and cheer him on. He just wanted him to stand there and give him one of his sweet, heartwarming smiles that shaped his eyes into crescent moons. He just wanted him to be. Then even if Gojo had died in the end anyway, he would have been satisfied. It would have been worth it. Only if Geto was there.
