Chapter 287 - Aw flashback time 🥺 Urokai baby,,, also Roctis. You're cool too dad ig.

- "Your visits are becoming more frequent" and how do you feel about that Raizel? I ask him this while having him lay down on a couch because I am now his therapist. Every time he speaks I gently ask him to explain how he feels and at the end I give him a sign to wear saying "please ask me how i feel whenever i say something so i don't cause misunderstandings".

- Rayga being told to fight better like "huh I've never needed to because us nobles are op"

- Aww Urokai's being bigoted again <3 But yeah on a serious note pls stop,,, Also it's basically confirmed in this scene that it's a mixture of Frankenstein being a modified human + Raizel giving him attention that has Urokai so mad. Which, the modified part is fair if you consider that aside from Frankenstein all other modified humans have been the result of major pain and suffering. Ofc he should still actually try to get to know Frankenstein and learn the truth instead of just being an ass but nobody's immediately gonna believe that Frankenstein got this strong just because he tested on himself just like that.

- Anyway I'm pretty sure Rayga saying Urokai isn't usually so agitated making him flinch is actually showing how he's not allowed to be himself and instead must keep a calm elegant facade. Like he'd be looked down on if he was himself even if he didn't hate Frankenstein. Meanwhile Roctis just chill as Urokai throws his tantrums. Dragon clan solidarity 😔

- I love mvp lord so much I- "damn i thought you'd be seduced by my blood. should I just have done it the old fashioned way and seduced you with my body? hmm you're not really my type though-" and so on and so forth. I want to be there to help him make fun of his clan leaders and Frankenstein and Raizel.

Chapter 288 - Let Ashoka talk! He has to work all day and sit on that throne 24/7/365 and nobody talks to him but you can't be bothered to let him go on a tangent? If it was me I'd be steering the conversation to the topic of his favourite clan leader to cause drama smh.

- "Why is he cooped up inside all the time? How does he cope? Isn't it suffocating? Isn't he lonely?" I think the lord might be showing his own feelings about his own life here,,,

- Ashoka's right though, if I was a vampire I wouldn't want to bite random ppl. That's why you gotta seduce them into taking a shower first.

- Zarga who was just heading to visit Raizel normally but ended up having Roctis and Urokai tag along and stayed silent the entire time... i think he was probably going "i just wanted to have a staring contest with ser raizel in peace why did yall have to make it dramatic" inwardly

Chapter 289 - No seriously Zarga's first word in this flashback is "Urokai" because he's keeping him from murdering Frankenstein...

- I mean it's not that Raizel doesn't like visitors, he's just terrified of having to kill ppl he cares about. So it's less dislike and more of an existential dread I feel considering that he does actually love the traitors. Get it right Frankenstein.

- Zarga's just 🧍‍♂️always. He's the true statue representation among nobles.

Chapter 290 - You know something's wrong when even Roctis and Zarga are all "why Frankenstein got you so mad bro". They just don't get how much he cares about Raizel... They hang with Raizel for the staring contests, Urokai does it as paparazzi, y'all aren't the same. But Zarga's second speech bubble so far is telling Urokai he gets weirdly angry when it comes to Frankenstein.

- Lagus looks like a stick. I know that all those lines are supposed to show how old and shrivelled he is but yeah to me his skin is just actual bark. Anyway ignoring canon lagus for young pretty boy propaganda <3 tho tbf I do still have him as he is in canon and he only shifts back to being pretty when asked to by someone who knows hes just faking.

- Lagus straight up saying that Urokai is more emotional,,, yeah. All I can see Urokai thinking is "shut up old man" tho lmao

- Zarga's third speech bubble "Frankenstein annoying us is hilarious <3"

- Fourth "Frankenstein figured out we're evil because we visit ser Raizel" but like tbh anyone who looks at the expressions Urokai makes would have figured it out imo. Like guys he's your pet dog surely you've noticed what he does with his face.

- All of Zarga's talking is repeating info or commenting on what's happening/giving insight when it's not about Urokai. The things that actually give him personality aside from that is the third speech bubble and him just always... standing there doing nothing. My lazy king who babysits Urokai and loves him... ily

- No but if Urokai used a shred of critical thinking he'd probably go "huh. why do the humans have something belonging to a person Frankenstein cared for deeply... huh why do the assholes working with us hate Frankenstein? Huh." Like all the other traitors i think def figured it out. Urokai's just gone stupid from hatred. Zarga might not know but not because he's stupid. It's cos he's zoned out head empty no thoughts always.

- I'm just saying

- I think Gejutel and Lagus are friends because Lagus is just friends with everyone while Gejutel is too but when Lagus became an old stick man Gejutel's farm brain came out and went "stick important. can make farm tools. Is best friend now"

- How tf is a lance similar to a glaive Gejutel? Also you know Urokai wants to murder Frankenstein why are you allowing this spar to happen? And why tf are you spectating when you have duties that prevented you from sparring in the first place? Lies. All you spout are lies grandpa.

Chapter 291 - I've mentioned this b4 but it really took them several hours to find a sparring spot, huh? Like it was just bright daylight but now it's night. Or did they like arrange a time and place and reconvene in which case why couldn't you just be the one he sparred grandpa? Going insane.

- Lagus "The totally not evil humans I work with say Frankenstein is evil" and because Zarga doesn't want to make the mood weird with Gejutel around he goes "theyre probably full of shit though"

- And then Rayga also came to spectate out of fucking nowhere. Mr gargoyle with his entertainment sensor. Between Rayga and Zarga I think they're the airheaded pretty boys of the clan leaders. Their looks appeal to different types of ppl.

- HOW IS A LANCE LIKE A GLORIFIED SPEAR

Chapter 292 - Lagus and Roctis comment on how Urokai being angry is bad but Zarga just goes "Urokai" like??? Urokai what? Please add an emoji after so I can understand. Is it "Urokai <3" or "Urokai 😥" or do you just like saying his name or? What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

- They only do a close up of Zarga when Urokai loses his eye like okay more fodder for me misinterpreting things. Thank you <3

- Also like maybe it's just me but if someone lost their eye in a spar I would immediately be interfering instead of continuing talking with the other spectators and then going "hey you should stop now guys" while still standing on a cliff way overhead. Like put your body between them guys.

- Look obviously Urokai is at fault for being an asshole and having ulterior motives but it was also super fucked up of Frankenstein to be planning to severely harm Urokai too??? Like Gejutel, Rayga, you two mention yourselves that Frankenstein was aiming for worse damage and losing an eye was less damage than planned. Hell even Frankenstein says that. Do you guys not realise that in such a case, Frankenstein is the one at fault? Even with the capacity of healing that nobles have, aiming to incapacitate them intentionally in what is meant to be a friendly spar is horrifying. Imo we should give both Frankenstein and Urokai the Rael treatment. Throw them in jail for a decade. If this had been a neutral or friendly clan leader who didn't have ulterior motives but was similarly impulsive and easily manipulated and tricked... I think losing a fucking eye in a spar would be good reason to hate Frankenstein forever afterwards.

If Frankenstein truly suspected something was extremely off about the spar, he should have just refused the offer. Just. Wtf is wrong with this entire spar... Both participants go in planning to incapacitate the other from the get go, the spectators are inclusive of idiots who are on victim blaming territory, even the spectators on Urokai's side don't particularly care about the injury aside from maybe Zarga, how do you live with these fools lord? Like what if Frankenstein had completely succeeded with his attack? Nobles may be able to heal greatly but I don't think Urokai would survive getting part or all of his head blown off guys. Would you all still be so chill then? "Actually it was Urokai's fault for underestimating Frankenstein so the murder is okay <3" fuck off. Like none of these idiots are thinking anything through at all. Maybe just getting an eye destroyed is commonplace for nobles not that that's true either from all the training we've seen the nobles do but i think dying isn't which is the logical conclusion to what would have occurred if Urokai hadn't been lucky. Nobody cares about Urokai except me and mayhaps Zarga apparently and I really want to scream at everyone present in the screen right now. Including Urokai for the shit he's doing too.

Chapter 293 - Oh Tesamu flashback within a flashback chapter,,, please heal my anger with the inherent cuteness of a child.

- I always did wonder why Frankenstein didn't just... take Tesamu with him. Like he's implied to be an orphan and considering he's a Noblesse character I don't think he has anyone aside from Frankenstein so... as Mevek would say, it's free children!

- So like once again, I'm guessing all nobles noticed that Frankenstein was consumed and not just Ashoka and Raizel.

- I know Raizel says he never goes out but like... he very obvious practices poses with Ashoka fairly often.

- Wow Urokai, your gaping wound hurts after the lord and noblesse appear to interfere? I wonder why. Couldn't possibly be the vibrations and power from Frankenstein's attack and the overwhelming power of the two strongest nobles being detrimental to an already horrific injury. Nope, not at all. But like he does look cute here lol. Baby.

- Okay yeah Urokai is at fault for being bloodthirsty but he isn't at fault for losing an eye Ashoka. Please read my two paragraphs complaining about it above. I'm gonna go scream in the local well as one does now.

Chapter 294 - Oh, a noblesse using their own blood when they need more power is straight up canon lol. Pretend I never said that was a hc of mine 😣

Chaoter 295 - The angry face Urokai makes after talking to Frankenstein 😶 He has such a sweet smile while he's lying too like goddamn.

- No but you should have told Raizel straight up that you put your blood in his tea... Consent bro. You're just lucky Raizel doesn't even hold a grudge against ppl who try to fucking murder him.

- Aaaaand end flashback

Sidenotes - I think nobles who have rituals forcing people into death and a toxic culture that condones heavy bodily harm should sit down in a circle and share their happy childhood stories. Oh wait their parents abandon them and they're traumatised and they are put in charge and the cycle repeats so there aren't any. Sorry let's start again. I'll share some happy stories and you guys have to tell me what the moral is. If you're wrong you dont get a sticker that says you're a good girl/boy and because i know you nobles all crave validation it'll torture you all if you dont get any so this plan will work. So let's start :)

- Ashoka is so pretty. If only he was a woman,,, same goes for Urokai and Ludis and all the other men mistaken for women by some fans. Wish that was me.

Shapeshifter AU - 4

Iwaizumi x f!reader

<< Part 3 | Part 5 >>

Summary: Iwaizumi goes stargazing with Y/n at a park in the forest. She tries to find out what he knows. She then stays the night with him for more info, but what’s the plan? Sakusa just wants his friend to be safe.

Word count: 2.8k

Warnings: y/n makes bad choices, and is kind of a creep but confronts that, poor Sakusa’s driving skills get shit talked and he ain’t even here, murder mentioned (1) one time, I prob got too detailed with the car reveal, sakusa is best boy, iwa’s a total dad

Genre: sfw (for now, 18+ regardless), shapeshifter au, strangers to potential enemies to friends to lovers

a/n: I probably wrote too much about the car, but I’m a car guy (gal? person?). I hope yall like stars/stargazing. This is like borderline fluff. Also did you like Sakusa’s contact name. Cause I thought it was funnier than it actually is.

Part 4: It Can’t Hurt

Now outside the bar, the two of them headed for her car. There was only street parking when Y/n arrived earlier, so she had to walk down the street for a good 5 minutes or so to get there; all along they chatted about Ikuno. She never really came here except for the dive bar. It was only about a 15 minute drive here from work, so that was a bonus, but otherwise she had no reason to be in Ikuno.

Reaching her black Civic, the doors unlocked. She crawled into the passenger seat herself as Iwaizumi agreed to drive to the park. Being a shifter, she’s not too afraid of being in the car with a stranger. Surely she could defend herself against one guy - she’d be alone with him in the car and at the park. On the other hand, if he thinks there’s something weird up with her, such as being able to turn into a wolf, she wondered why he would even agree to tag along. Wouldn’t he be afraid of her?

Once he was in and shut the door, he was checking out the interior: black with red accents on the dash, doors, and steering wheel. In dash computer, racing style seats and petals. “When you said you drove a Civic, this isn’t what I was expecting.” He found the push start before bothering to ask for the keys.

“She’s cute, huh? ‘17 Type-R. My baby,” she went on, running a hand over the dash affectionately and giving it a little pat.

“’Cute’.. Not sure if that’s the word I’d choose.” He gave her a concerned look, “You really want a stranger driving your.. ‘baby’?”

“What are ya shit at driving?” She teased, “Please. I’m not letting you take off without me.” The memory of Sakusa learning to drive a manual in Type-R when it was new popped in her head. That was a rough day for her poor car. If this guy really knows how to drive a manual, then it can’t be any worse for it than when Sakusa is driving. She chuckled, “A friend I let drive it, I taught him to drive stick in this. He still isn’t great, but he doesn't stall it nearly as much as he used to.” She shrugs and taps on the screen in the dash, setting the GPS for the park.

“You taught your friend to drive in this?” He started the engine, put it in first gear, and pulled out of the parking spot flawlessly.

“To drive a manual,” she corrected, “He could already drive. He just only drives automatics. I tried telling him these are a lot more fun.”

The bar isn’t that far from the highway, so they were on it in no time. Driving down the highway, again he was shifting through gears smoothly. A nice change from the rough shifting she usually experiences while riding passenger. She should really get Sakusa to practice more. Not that he wants to. Deciding to text Sakusa, she pulls out her phone and sends him her GPS location for their little outing. Just to be safe. It’s not even quite 10pm yet, so he shouldn’t care. Though regardless he’d never complain about this sort of text.

More time went by as they traveled down the highway. They sat in silence, other than the engine and various street sounds. It wasn’t too awkward and Iwaizumi has yet to complain like she’s used to. If anything, he might be enjoying the ride.

With a buzz, she checks her texts. Sakusa replied and asked that she check in later so he knows she's safe. As much as she mentally shit talks his driving, she knows he’s an amazing friend and she loves him to death.

Checking his text, she was reminded of Oikawa’s text in the bar essentially asking if she were single. Though he was likely teasing and just trying to text something other than ‘hi’ or his name, but why not have fun with it.

>> To ’Oi-chan‘: “who’s asking?”

“So,” she breaks the silence, “Have you been to this park?”

“What one is it again?” He glanced at the GPS’s listed destination, “No, I haven’t been in that area. At least not that I can’t think of.”

“But you’ve been south of there then?”

He hesitated. “I haven’t been in the forest or surrounding parks. I've just been by them. I have friends that live around there and down the street is a convenience store right by the tree line that I sometimes run to if I’m over there.. But other than that, I don’t know the forest or the area for that matter.”

“I see.. It’s really beautiful out there.”

“Maybe I’ll have to go sometime when the sun’s out then. You’re a regular, right? Maybe you can show me around?”

Well. Sort of.

Not a regular at the trails and parks. Or being there during daylight hours. “I wouldn’t say regular.. I haven’t been to this park in ages.”

He had no response. Only looking out the windshield as he exited the highway. The GPS showed only 8 minutes left. The area ahead full of trees.

Y/n directed Iwaizumi where to park as the gates to the parking lot were closed. All nature parks are closed at night after all. There was even a sign stating that and warning visitors not to enter after dark, but where’s the adventure in following those warnings?

“You.. Sure we should be here?” Iwaizumi asked warily, walking alongside her in the grass. They left the car along the road, but no one should be out here this late so it’s fine.

“Like legally or..?”

“Y/n!”

She laughed and led him to an open field. The trees were far enough from this spot to give a clear view of the sky, stars twinkling, crescent moon shining. This really is the best place to stargaze. She wasn't lying about that.

“Hey! Don’t run!” He yelled as she took off for the middle of the field, giggling in response.

“I’m sure you can catch up, Mr. Athletic Trainer!”

“That’s not-“

But she wasn't listening. Instead she was slowing down as she reached the perfect spot, sitting down in the grass. Very soon he was sitting down too, a couple feet from her.

He wasn’t even in arms reach. “Okay, so what now.”

She smiles at him then looks to the sky. It can be hard to see the stars with how bright the city was, but out here was far enough away from any unnatural light source that she could pick out constellations. Well, the ones she knew anyway.

The both of them sat quietly, looking to the stars, hearing nothing but the nocturnal sounds of the woods surrounding them. Generally such spaces were incredibly calming, but with the anticipated conversation her heart was pounding. She still didn’t know anything for sure and her excuse of too many people around to ask questions, like at the bar, didn’t work here. Alone, far from anyone, in her element - what better time to find her answers.

In a low voice, still admiring the stars, she spoke, “So.. You’ve seen me ‘round before, huh?”

She peeks at him from the corner of her eye. No response, he’s only staring forward. So she continues, “Like at that bar? ..I’m not in Ikuno much, and deeper in the city can be so crowded, I doubt you would have noticed me anywhere there.” She tried not to jump straight to the point. Frightened prey always ran after all.

In a similar tone, he answers, “Maybe the bar.. Maybe we crossed paths elsewhere..”

Still looking up, though not at anything in particular, she hummed. “I think I’ve seen you before too.” She could feel his eyes on her now, but chose to not make eye contact and instead point up to a small constellation she found. She named what she thought it was aloud, pointing it out to Iwaizumi.

“Where?” He squinted at the sky, no idea which stars she was pointing to.

With a snicker she inched closer to him. Tracing a finger in the air, “Look. Right there. A few kinda go in a line and some off the side.”

He keeps staring at the sky, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Pretty sure you’re just crazy.”

The look she threw his way was comical, “No! I’m not!”

“Uh huh.. Definitely crazy.. You didn’t bring me out here to kill me, did you?” He looked back to her, serious as ever, “..‘Cause Oikawa will be so upset if I don't show up for lunch tomorrow. Seriously. He’ll whine so much, and he has your number now. He’ll absolutely call you and whine, thinking I’m ignoring him. You don't want that, right?”

She stared blankly at him. For a second there she really did think he was serious. “..Yeah. That sounds really annoying. I’d hate to have to deal with a sobbing Oikawa.” She attempted a playful tone that may or may not have failed. She followed up with a chuckle for good measure, “Guess I can’t commit murder then. That’d look bad on my record anyway. Plus, someone as pretty as me in prison? No thanks.”

He laughed and leaned back on his hands, gaze back at the sky. Tension down, she scooted closer. “There really is a constellation there, I swear.”

“Yeah. I see it.” He glanced towards her for a split second, “I was just fucking with you.”

Her jaw dropped. “Rude!”

She returned her attention to the sky, searching for any other constellation she might recognize. He even pointed one out to her, though he couldn’t remember what it was called. Unfortunately, she couldn’t either, but it was definitely a constellation. Had to be.

“..The convenient store you said your friend’s by. I think I’ve seen you there before. Maybe you recognized me from there?” Silence, but she noticed he was looking at her again. Slowly she turned her head to meet his gaze. Keeping calm, she gave him a light smile. He didn’t look all that uneasy, like she felt in her gut. She spoke with warmth, desperate to keep the conversation from getting uncomfortable, “Iwaizumi?”

The corners of his lips ticked up and mischief shined in his eyes. “What are you a stalker or something?” He laughed as she scoffed. “Fine. I've probably been there enough times. Maybe I did see you there before.”

Leaning her head back, she looked at the sky once more, but this time she wasn't searching the stars.

He doesn't seem like he’ll be a problem..

She was sitting much closer now than when they first arrived at the park. Carefully, she leaned her head on his shoulder, inhaling orange and sage and something else. She glances up to him before quickly averting her eyes to the stars one more time.

Soon both of them were walking out of the field. “I can take you home,” she offered.

Iwaizumi was trailing close to her side, heading back to the car that was left forgotten along the small paved road. Luckily, no authorities showed up. “I might take you up on that. It won't be out of the way will it?”

“If you’re in Ikuno, then that’s not too awfully far off from my drive home.” She gave him a teasing look, “Unless you would rather go to my place.. Though Ikuno is closer. Maybe I’ll just stay with you.”

He rolled his eyes and complained, “Are you really inviting yourself to my apartment?” Nudging her arm with his, and teased, “Think I wouldn’t invite you myself?”

She cocked a brow, “Oh?” Car now in sight, she heads for the driver’s door, making the car unlock. “I’ll drive.” Opening the door she added, “Just put your address in the GPS for me.”

Mini mission complete.

>> To ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’: “didn’t die. didn’t go home tho”

Following Iwaizumi into his apartment, Y/n kicked off her shoes by the door and hung up her coat. He had done the same and was headed for the kitchen to the right. “Hungry? Want anything?”

“Nah, thanks though.” She helped herself to the armchair in the corner across the room. His home felt warm and cozy, the sofa now to her right looked just as comfortable as the chair she’s in, coffee table mostly neat with books and a stack of papers. A soft area rug covered the center of the living room, covering a large portion of the wooden floors, the walls were a soft tan and to her surprise not completely bare. An entertainment center sat against the wall opposite of the sofa, a bookcase next to that. And there’s the large window to her left on the wall behind her. It gave that homey vibe. Looking lived in, but not a mess.

>> From ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’: “Do you plan on going home or are you going on one of your late night runs?”

>> From ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’:“Should I stay up waiting on a I’m home text?”

Iwaizumi walked in from the kitchen with two glasses of water and placed one on the coffee table in front of her.

>> To ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’: “neither and no”

>> To ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’: “go to sleep sakusa”

>> To ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’: “and thank you”

>> From ‘Emergency Contact (‘Kusa)’: “I want to ask but also don't want to know so goodnight Y/n. Don’t do anything stupid.”

Without spilling his water, Iwaizumi fell back on the sofa, watching as she typed away on her phone. “Letting someone know where you are?”

“Maybe,” she mumbles, setting her phone in her lap, she reached for the water.

“I mean, that’s a good habit to have if you are.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Sure you don't want anything to eat?”

She laughed, “Do you normally parent the people you bring home from bars?”

“I’d hardly say I brought you home when you invited yourself over and then complained about being tired halfway here,” he complained.

“Well, I appreciate that ya offered to take over and aren’t forcing me to drive home tired.” She smiled then looked around again. “Do you have a dog or anything? Anyone live with ya? ..Ah! If you don't mind me asking.”

He shook his head, “No. No pets and it's just me here.”

Finishing her water, she carefully set the glass back on the coffee table. “I’m not hungry, but don't let that stop you from eating if you are.. If you don't mind, I may clean up while ya eat.”

“Of course,” he leaned forward to set his half empty glass down and retrieved hers before standing. “I’ll show you where everything is.”

She followed him down a short hallway as he led her to a bathroom. He pointed out anything she might need and got her a towel, as well as offering her clothes to sleep in to be more comfortable. She sniffed different soaps and such while he stepped out for a moment. Returning quickly with what appeared to be a t-shirt and sweatpants. She thanked him as he left the bathroom once more.

“Oh hey,” he stopped in the doorway and pointed in the opposite direction of the living space, “My room is that way. I’m just going to sleep out here.”

“Oh no no no,” she held a hand up, “You sleep in your bed. I’m fine with taking the sofa. I’m already using your place for tonight, it's no bother.”

“I can’t let-“ With the look she shot him, she cut him off. He lifted his hands, “Okay.. I’ll be in the kitchen for now.”

And with that he was gone, door closing behind him. Flipping the lock, she turned back to the shower. Turning it on, she messed with the temperature until it was just right before stripping and getting in.

After a probably longer than necessary shower, she felt clean and now smelled of sage, orange, and black pepper. Sweeping her damp hair back and out of her face, she got into the clothes he left for her. Which admittedly didn't fit the best, but they’d work. She stared at her dirty clothes for a moment before deciding to just leave them in a neat pile in there and picked up her phone.

Stepping into the hall, she didn't hear anything. Walking around the kitchen and living room, she determined he must be in bed already. Setting her phone aside, she situated the newly found blankets and pillows on the sofa and turned off the lights after opening the curtains to let some light into the room so she could find her way around the unfamiliar space. Crawling into the blankets, she played on her phone quietly, too awake and unsure about the decision she made to stay here. She was supposed to find out what she needed and go home. And yet somehow she was in the home of the very person who kept her up all those nights ago, wondering if he had seen her and what was going to happen if he did.

But nothing has happened. And the last sighting was over a week ago.

And he’s been nice to her even though she’s been a total creep.

What’s the plan?
