Tumblr media
“Hmm… What about here?” Uki muttered, already starting to grow a little impatient as he wiggled his fingers into Fulgur’s midriff.
“Nothing,” Fulgur chuckled, raising an eyebrow, “are you done trying?”
“How can you not be ticklish?!” Uki groaned, sitting back into the cyborg’s lap as he fiddled with the other’s shirt. “It’s not fair.”
While the previous attempts didn’t make it, seeing the cute pout on the psychic’s face made Fulgur let out a hearty laugh, resting his hands over the other man’s, caressing them with his thumbs as if to comfort him somehow. “Perks of being me, I guess.”
He wasn’t sure what sparked such interest in Uki all of sudden, just that he came to him out of the blue and tried to tickle him. Well, it clearly didn’t work as he expected.
“Aw, come on, Uki,” Fulgur chuckled, seeing the clear frustration in his face. Deciding to do something to get rid of that frown on the psychic’s face, the cyborg slowly let go of his hands, gently moving them up. “Uki… ~”
“What?”
“Come on ~” Fulgur said, reaching for the man’s waist, pinching it softly and making the other jump in place. Realizing his intentions, Uki quickly reached for both of Fulgur’s wrists, trying to pry them off.
“Fuhulgur! Nohoh,” he whined, letting a soft gasp escape his lips as the cyborg squeezed the spot again.
“But I don’t want to see you frowning like that, Uki,” Fulgur said, sitting up as he wiggled his fingers into Uki’s sides, “we both know how handsome your smile is ~”
“But- ahah, n-no tihihickling,” he protested, trying to squirm away from the cyborg’s hands, but Fulgur kept pulling him back into his lap, refusing to let go of him.
“Now that’s not fair, Uki,” Fulgur interrupted him, grinning as more giggles poured from Uki’s lips, “you’ve been tickling me for the past 10 minutes, it’s my turn now.”
As his hands spidered up the psychic’s sides, Uki threw his head back in a cute fit of laughter, his body trembling as he giggled, attempting to somehow protect himself, but all with no avail.
“Yohohou a-are nohot tihihicklish!”
“Well, maybe not as you,” Fulgur teased, bringing Uki’s body closer to his as he fingers continued to trail over the man’s torso, “now, let’s see where else you are ticklish ~”

He's a 10 but he head-over-heels and bound by fate with an enemy assassin who soul-shifted in a light-sensitive person's body that became his master but has to pretend to be his maid who is doomed to be petrified but like the body she is in now is actuall–

There's this running joke that Ukie is lazy, unmotivated, spoiled and while he may be those things at times, at his core he's such a good person: life has been knocking him down since he was born but he's still able to see the beauty in monsters and understand the fear of people socially lower than him enough not to dismiss them as fools.

Uki and Ren are doing irl Collab! The two have done a meet up, and are looking forward to this stream. The chat is zooming with heartfelt messages. And silly messages. And what ever you may think of.
"I think it's time to properly begin Ren!" Uki happily announced to Ren. Ren making happy squeals. Uki giggled at Ren's little squeals.
"hello, chat. How are we all doing today?" Ren asked his wholesome chat. "Ahhh, you all are having a good time! I'm pleased to hear it!"
"Ren you forgot about me!!!" Uki poked Ren's side. Uki made a small squeak.
"Uki I didn't forgETEHE- I was about to say you're here too!" Ren replied to Uki a warm pink blush appearing on his face.
Uki mesmerised by Ren's adorable reaction, he kept it in mind.
"Haha, what ever you say, Ren" Uki smugly replied Ren playfully rolled his eyes.
"As you have probably has known from the tweet, I have said we will be doing a little challenge." Ren giggled. "We're going to see if we can beat Minecraft together!"
"I can already tell this is going to go wrong " Uki teased Ren.
"SHUT UP!" Ren said playfully amused. "also, L + ratio"
Uki pretended to gasp. And nudged Ren.
As the two was in the game, reading chat. Uki was on the ASWD keys and Ren was doing the mouse.
"UKKKKKIIIIIIIII STOHOHOHOP GET- TURN AROUND!!!" Ren loudly said, Uki crackled.
"HUHUHUH? I AM DOHOHOING THE TUHUHURNING! IDIOT- YOU MOVE YOUR MOHOHOUSE!" Uki replidd back with laughter.
It was night time in the Game, and a creeper was behind them. Ren took an opportunity and did the annoying thing ever. He faced the creeper.. BOOM!
The "you died" screen showed up. And Ren boomed with laughter, Uki coukt help but smile at him. Too adorable..
A supa appeared on the screen, and Ren was too busy laughing to see it. Uki saw, the supa.
"A Ren and Uki collab?! Ren laughing is too cute. That sound from earlier which Ren made sounded like a squeal. Did you tickle hiim? If you did could you do it again?! Thank youuuuuu!"
Uki's model smiled whilst reading the supa and nodded. And proceeded to tickle Ren's tum. Ren laughed surprised.

"oh what's chat sayin?" Uki asked teasingly looking chat chat. "awww I agree too, Ren is a little cutie"
This made Ren laughing more. Ike, Alanyan, Sonny, and Luca joined the VC the two was in.
"AWWWWW SOOO CUTEEEEEE!" Ike cooed. He was being honest after all.
"Sooooo adorable" Luca also said.
"AWWWWWW, get him Uki!" Alban said to Uki encouraging.
"Uki Uki daisuki, Ren your laugh is so contagious, and cute!!" Sonny said in a cute way to make Ren even more flustered.
Which indeed made Ren flustered.
"NOHOHOHOHO YOHOHOHOU GUHUHUHUYS AHAHAHAHA-" He couldn't finish his sentence as Uki's. fingers travelled to his neck. "nOHOHOHO Uhuhuhuhuki!"
"Nah, I'll stay here. I like it!" Uki said poking his neck and squeezing it gently.
"UHUHUHUHUKI NOHOHOHO!" Ren said laughing, "trying" to fight back.
"Stahahahahp!!!" Ren giggled. Uki did stop and give Ren little raspberries, which drove Ren a little bit crazy. "EEHHEHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA!!!"
"AWWWWWW!!!" The 5 said in unison.
Chat was having the time of their lives. Ren being tickled was so cute to them, hearing Ren laugh like a child is very sweet to hear. Uki patted Ren's neck to get the ghost tickles away. And the two hugged.
Luca, Sonny, Alban, and Ike was smiling so much.
"Well I guess chat this stream is gonna be fun!" uki said and grinned.
"hahaha, yea" Ren giggled replying back.

My pinned post is me sharing all my interests and the only two things I've posted about are vtubers (derogatory) and monster high (affectionate). But those are also the only two things I think about outside of tumblr too so. Accurate.

TickleTober2023/Day 30 - Fantasy
Nijisanji EN/Vtubers - Uki Violeta x Shxtou
⚠️ Suggestive/N$FW-ish content under the cut
Tumblr media
“A-ah! Ukihihi ~ N-nohohot thehEHere!” Shoto gasped, pressing his eyes shut behind the blindfold as if it would ease the sensation to any degree. A fruitless attempt. Those delicate, but evil, fingers continued to dance over his restrained soles, tracing lines from his toes down to his heel, scribbling the ball of his foot and tickling over the terribly ticklish arches.
The noise from the chains - that bound his hands together above his head - echoed throughout the bedroom along with Shoto’s laughter, a melody to Uki’s ear. In delight, the psychic hummed a tone, letting his hands trail up to the demon slayer’s thighs, digging into any ticklish spot he found along the way.
“You are such a sensitive little thing, aren’t you, Shoto?” Uki chirped, grabbing the other man by his waist while taking a comfortable seat on top of his legs. “It almost makes me want to go easy, almost.”
Uki grinned, using his thumbs to massage Shoto’s hip bones with a scary precision, making the poor restrained assassin howl in laughter. He curled his toes and clenched his hands, but nothing seemed to make things better. In fact, it seemed like it tickled more and more, overwhelming the rest of his senses, occupying all the room inside his brain.
“PlehEHEase! I caHAHan’t! AhAHAh, U-Uhuhuki!! It’s sohOHOho bahAHahad!” Shoto cried, arching his back as he squirmed inside his restraints, twisting left and right in the hope to find some break from the tickling… but Uki didn’t feel like letting it happen. Not anytime soon, at least.
Using his nails to rake Shoto’s sides up and down, Uki smiled fondly at the adorably pitiful state of his partner that, for some reason, only made him want to go on and on and on. “Then maybe you should save your energy, hm? Instead of talking nonsense…” He grinned, drawing random shapes over Shoto’s ribcage, making the man under him shudder, giggle and desperately gasp.
….
“Uki? Hey, are you hearing me?” Shoto waved his hand in front of the psychic face, furrowing his brows in concern.
“...what?” Uki muttered softly, blinking a few times and looking around. He wasn’t at his bedroom, neither was Shoto bound to his bed and left at his mercy. And they weren’t- ah, Uki looked down in disappointment, it was just a dream, a wild fantasy of his mind praying a prank on him. “No, sorry,” Uki muttered, looking up to Shoto, who sighed in annoyance.
“I just told you my plan to our next collab, agh,” he groaned, sitting back down before starting to explain it all over again.
Uki pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath. He needed to do something about this fantasies… or he would get in trouble sooner or later for daydreaming about this kind of stuff.
Tumblr media
A/N: I've been wanting to try to write for those two in a while and, considering how naturally sussy they are, why not leave a spicier prompt for them? Ehe

Jang Uk will always be the superior male character, because...
In Mudeok/Naksu's first meeting with both Seo Yul and Go Won they are holding a sword at her. And very obviously could and would have hurt her. And both of those times Jang Uk protects her.
Then there's her first meeting with Jang Uk. Where she holds a, very unconventional, weapon on his throat, and she could kill him very easily. And his reaction to this is to chuckle and flirt with her and tell her that her eyes are pretty, making her flustered instead. My boy is so smooth. That too with a weapon on his throat!
The head tilted, eyes shining, mischievous , slightly smirking, "nun-i yeppue-guna", will be seared into my memory forever.

• How do i explain this, woozi and jane have a different and unique kinds of relationship. They could be "normal", joking around, being weird, and doing stuff that carats could not fully understand (even the member themselves). • Sometimes, they will look at each other through silent stare then laugh. Making the other member around them confused. • Jane likes to vidcall woozi, especially when he's in the recording studio. And vice-versa. • Jane loves to write poetry especially when she's alone in the beach or mountains. Then, she will call him to give her writing and asks for feedbacks.
જ⁀➴ Jeonghan x Jane
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

When he can' t be with her, he make sure to call her to hear about her day. • During pre-debut, he always made sure that Jane's well being are okay especially when it comes to cooking her food because she's too lazy to buy or make anything • Loves helping drying her hair when she showered at night/swimming/any scenarios because jane's too lazy to do so. He kept scolding "Jein, you should dry your hair before going to bed or else it'll give you a major headache", while drying her hair ofc • During TTT water sport, jeonghan kept making sure that Jane have her towels by her side to protect herself from the wind.
જ⁀➴ Joshua x Jane
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Relationship Dynamic : fun uncle with her niece vibe, "remember that time we first met that i said that you're cool? i take that back" Nickname given by Jane for Joshua : josh/uncle hong Nickname given by Joshua for Jane : jane/jennifer(?)
• When joshua first join pledis, she strike up a conversation immediately, getting too excited knowing that there will be someone also having a hard time with advance korean comes from a country that speak english as their first language too (even tho he's way older than him) • Joshua always throwing the most corniest dry joke (which sometimes other member hate it), but not jane and vernon, SHE LOVES IT TOOO MUCH • He's always there to brighten up her day when she's feeling down.

જ⁀➴ DK x Jane
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Relationship Dynamic : dumb and dumber that has a big heart. that's it. "will you jump if i jump off the cliff?" "... i literally jumped after you jumped off the bungee thing 30 seconds ago" Nickname given by Jane for DK : dikey/seokmini Nickname given by DK for Jane : jein/ok
• We know both of them is an "I" aka introvert.. but whenever they were stuck together... people don't think they're an "I". Especially DK tho... • Jane will never miss a single musical show that DK stared in. Even when she misses attending one of his show, she always made it up by buying huge bouquet flowers or buying foods. • DK is one of the reason she can express herself freely and be "wild-free" during her pre debut. (being one of the few female trainees among bunch of male trainee + a super shy introverted person makes it harder to become herself) • Even tho they seems like a 3 year old children running around, deep down DK cared a lot about Jane and vice versa.
જ⁀➴ Seungkwan x Jane
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Relationship Dynamic : duo of "i was going to give you a nasty look but i see that you've already got one" Nickname given by Jane for Seungkwan : kwanie Nickname given by Seungkwan for Jane : jein/uki
• We all know that Seungkwan.. is not that patience. But, Jane can be the only exception for this. Maybe, this is because she always defend seungkwan in mafia game to not get killed on the first round (even though she's one of the mafias) • Jane really love listening to his tips and tricks about losing puffiness (even though the other have enough of it). • Jane likes to suddenly came by to one of Seungkwan's friendly game match with his friends to show support and brought some snacks and drinks. • Both of them are known for their "honest reaction", which is iconic.

☆*:.。. o ME o .。.:*☆
I am Seungmin from Stray Kids’ frying pan!
I go by Echo online, though close irl friends may call me Evy/Evi. Pronouns: she/any
I joined Tumblr because of my wonderful friends irl. And also because Pinterest doesn’t hit as hard as the actual Blr.
Asks are a little icky for me. You kinda have to bait me out by either being a mutual (love them sm) or mentioning one of my hyperfixations when I’m in the right mood.
Please don’t hate on me for what I like. No matter your opinion, I will continue doing what I love. I am human and sensitive to emotions and pain too. If you are going to tell me anything negative, please give it in the form of constructive criticism, and NOT hate. You will be ignored or blocked </3. I may be a softie and have self-esteem problems but I DO know my worth.
• I respect everyone’s opinions, but please do not try to force ideas onto me or others/mutuals. However, I have little tolerance for people who show homophobic, transphobic, or racist behavior.
• Pls only do asks if ur a mutual :]
- — — Other Interests/About Me — — -
• Kpop, Genshin, and Nijisanji enjoyer :D
• I don’t have HSR but I do love it :’D
• Kpop groups I stan (mostly a bg stan): Stray Kids (Ult?, ot8), BTS (ot7), TxT (ot5), Enhypen (Jungwon/ot7), Ateez (ot8), Oneus (Seoho/Leedo), Onlyoneof (Nine/Yoojung), Seventeen (Hoshi/Minghao), Twice (J-Line), Itzy (Yeji/Ryujin), Newjeans (Hyein/ot5), Le Sserafim (Chaewon/Kazuha) Babymonster (Ahyeon/Ruka) Red Velvet (Irene/Seulgi), Kard (no bias yet), Astro (Moonbin… I’ll miss you), IU, Sarah Kang. • Vtubers I watch: Uki Violeta (fav), Vox Akuma, Shxtou, Alban Knox, Ike Eveland, Hex Haywire…
• I love to dance (my main types are (k)pop, hip hop, and contemporary styles).
• Dance styles I’ve learned: contemporary jazz, lyrical, acrobatics, hip hop, kpop. I’ve also done a few classes but am less focused on latin jazz, horton, ballet, and some others.
• Dance styles I’m learning: tutting, waacking, vogue, hip hop, house, kpop
• Dance styles I want to learn: popping, waving, more waacking and vogue
• Fav dancers… 1million, Artbeat. Especially love Tina Boo, Spella, and Bada Lee. Also Konon & Kathleen Carm </3
• Maybe I’ll post a dance cover one day… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ probably not on Tumblr tho
• I like Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. • I play flute!! Totally didn’t forget about that
• I know English and Chinese (Traditional), though I���m also learning Spanish and some Korean :]
• I use emoticons and emojis way more than necessary. • Funnily enough… I love exercising…
If you made it to the end of this post ty for reading it all <3 or sorry you accidentally clicked “read more” </33
And to mutuals: get ready to read some wild reblogs. Though most of you post wilder things so I should be okay…

HONESTLY LOVE THAT THEY AREN'T CAGING MUDEOK INTO BEING WITH SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR. SHE IS FREE TO CHOOSE WHOMEVER SHE LIKES AND THESE MEN WILL RESPECT IT. YES, THEY FEEL PAIN, OR SORROW BUT THEY WILL LET HER DO WHATEVER SHE PLEASES. THIS SERIES FOCUSES ON LOVE AND DRAMA BUT STILL EVERYONE IS SO WELL WRITTEN AND THERE IS A LOT OF CHARACTER GROWTH
Like, IS HE GIVING YOU TROUBLE QUEEN?? I KNOW YOU CAN HANDLE IT BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TROUBLE YOURSELF BC I CAN DO IT FOR YOU.
IT HOLDS SO MUCH MEANING THAT SHE CHOOSES TO STAY WITH JANG WOOK EVEN WHEN THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF HER
Tumblr media
I just hope this theme continues throughout the series.

Father of Mine
Summary: Master Lee respects Kim Doju's response to his offer.
Author's note: Yeah it's official I'm obsessed with the second older couple, I was so sad they had no scenes together today lol (Go away Park Jin don't capsize my ship!!) I can't stop imagining them as one big happy family so here I go again with more Master Lee and Kim Doju.
Tumblr media
He understands immediately what she's doing and while it does make his chest ache with its indirect stab he accepts the non answer to his request for courtship.
He sits at the table sipping on a fine cup of tea wondering what excuse will come out of her lovely mouth this time.
"Oh, Master Lee I did not intend to keep you waiting but unfortunately I cannot take a walk with you today. I must..." He calmly watches her eyes dart around the room as if praying that something will simply manifest and save her from entertaining him. With a sad but complacent smile he finishes the last of the jasmine infused tea, ignoring the burn on his tongue. Her rejection hurts far worst than that anyway.
"I understand."
She pauses looking guilty for only a moment before asking, "You do?"
He nods solemnly before standing to take his leave. He dips his head in a bow regardless of their positions, it was nice to feel such passion for another. He intends to remember it fondly.
"I best take my leave."
Carrying himself with grace that he does not feel inside, he walks with ease towards the door.
But quick as lightning, she's moving chasing him with panicked eyes glancing at him in question before grabbing the sleeve of his robe, her fingers tight on the smooth material.
It feels like she has pushed her hand through his chest and gripped his heart directly. It's hard to breathe.
"Wait! I- I cannot go but Jang Uk is visiting, he could keep you company so this would not have been a waste of your time."
This already the furthest thing from a waste, he was able to see her, drink her tea and feel her hands on his sleeve, it was all worth more than anything he owned.
But he does not dare utter such damning words lest he make her uncomfortable with his unwanted attention.
He contemplates his response, he had intended to return to his room and tend to his wounds but hope shines brightly in her distracting eyes and he cannot deny her anything especially this, he can admit that he enjoys spending time with the boisterous boy. He is intrigued to say the least, Uk's talent is undeniable and unlike others he does not think that power always leads to corruption. Uk is good, and he can remain this way with guidance.
The decision is easy in the end.
"If he is not previously preoccupied." He hums easily, trying and failing to ignore her hand still clutching him firmly.
His eyes widen as she jumps suddenly in glee, an adorable sound leaving her lips as she shakes her head in decline.
"He's not busy at all!"
Then he's left standing alone as she finally releases him to go retrieve her young master and in his eyes adoptive son.
They were quite the pair.
--------
She knows that she should halt her silly trickery but how can she when Uk had come home with such evident pride and joy on his face after their fishing trip?
She had tried her hardest to be a mother figure to him, knowing she could never dare take the place of his real mother but when he had looked up at her with those huge curious eyes she knew in that moment she was a goner. Her heart belonged to him.
As a boy it was easier to hide him from his reality- showering him with all her love so he wouldn't ask about his parents but as he grew so did the questions and his self loathing. He would watch let kids with longing so clear in his eyes it made her want to hide him away from the world and its cruelties.
"Did they leave because I'm not good enough?"
She refuted his question adamantly hugging him tight as he sobbed into her arms, angry tears wetting her shoulder and shattering her heart.
He cried most nights until one day he just stopped.
Stopped caring.
Stopped crying.
Just stopped everything. And that she found, wasn't any better.
But now there had been a change in her Uk, something profound and she couldn't quite put her finger on it but he was happier, smiling more and determined- the little boy that hid behind her legs and snuck honey biscuits when he thought she wasn't looking was finally becoming a man, it was enough to make her cry tears of relief.
And she wants to keep adding to that happiness, he deserved to have his cup run over. It has been empty for so much of his life.
Master Lee was a surprise but a welcome one.
He was kind, calm, soft spoken and gentle. She had never met a man quite like him before, he made her feel....
She shakes her head stopping those thoughts. This wasn't about her, it was about Jang Uk. Of course no one could replace his father but it was obvious how much he admired master Lee.
It was a feeling that she truly understood.
Even know as she surreptitiously watched them sparring in the center of the manor she could see Uk, taking his shouted directions and twisting to meet his sword head on. Master Lee was.... captivating to say the least his magical powers so strong she had never seen him wield a sword until now. But his swordsmanship was evident in the deft way he moved and easily evaded her Uk. They were clearly no match, at least not yet but she had full faith that Uk would make himself one day.
She was already proud of him for refusing to let the world break him.
"Not bad. I'm impressed that you haven't given up yet. Not many people can last this long in a spar with me."
"Are you bragging right now?" Uk quips back, while grinning at the backhanded praise.
She gasps in shock at the impertinence of her young master, that was no way to speak to an elder and the urge to admonish him and twist his ear was overwhelming. But she stays hidden curious to see master Lee's reaction.
She doesn't have to wait long.
His brows raise before one side of his lip follows, humour clear on his face.
"I do not brag. Stating facts are not bragging."
Her young master looks vaguely disgusted at the reply, his tongue poking out in jest but to her shock instead of reprimanding him Master Lee only grins wider before launching himself at her master who is unprepared, knocking his sword from his hand.
Uk looks disappointed staring at his sword before starting to rise with a sigh.
Her chest squeezes as the older man extends a weathered hand to her defeated master.
"You have a long way to go."
He tugs her young master easily to his feet, moving his hand to his shoulder now.
"But you are going. You should be proud of your progress."
Ah.
There it was, that smile.
She can't help but smile along with her young master, watching fondly as they walk away together.
Distantly she can hear Uk's loud childish whining.
"Why did I have to bet my biscuits? Don't you get enough biscuits from Kim Doju, why do you need mine too?"
Oh! That reminded her, she would need to pack more biscuits for Master Lee and his favorite foods.
He was doing her such a service it was only right that he was properly rewarded.
-----
He has fun. He's been having a lot of fun since he stumbled upon the fiery young master and his loyal "maid" who he had noticed watching their spar raptly.
But he knows that he can no longer stay here, it wouldn't do to make Kim Doju uncomfortable in her own home. He would meet Jang Uk outside and hope that they could all move past this transgression.
He glides to the exit, it will be easier to go without a formal farewell. He already told her that he understood so anything more wasn't necessary.
She was a beautiful woman in far more ways than her face. He just hoped that the man who received her heart cherished it the way she deserved.
He's almost at the door when he hears rapidly approaching steps and pants filling the otherwise silent air. He knows who it is without even turning. Can already feel her immediate effect on him.
"Master Lee! Wait!"
He sighs closing his eyes for but a second, finding his calm before spinning to meet her gaze flooded with confusion.
"Where are you going? Why are you leaving without saying goodbye?" 
He struggles not to make an unsavory face, remembering how she lied and tried to escape his presence earlier. Her behavior made no sense now.
"I thought this was better."
"How is this better? Is this how you treat someone that you claim to-"
She screams slapping a hand over her mouth, her eyes wider than he's ever seen them.
He processes her words, dissecting them piece by piece before doing the same to her face.
She was blushing.
Her heart rate was abnormally fast, he could see in a vein in her throat.
Her hands were twisted in the furling material of her dress.
"You're embarrassed....and upset?"
She looks away with a huff, the first time he's seeing this infamous temper that others have warned him about. Uk's warning the loudest.
Unfortunately for him, her ire does nothing but make his heart pound even faster.
"How could I not be when you leave without any word?"
"Kim Doju, I have come to see you three days this week. You declined my offers each time. Surely, you know that I would understood what you were telling me."
She blinks slowly, mouth falling open comically before realization unfolds on her face like badly conceived origami.
"Oh. You thought...."
There's no need to finish the sentence, the rest is crystal clear.
"Yes. I told you earlier, I understand. You are politely rejecting me. I've never done this before, but even a fool like me gets that much."
The shock minutely starts to melt from her face as he speaks, but it's merely transfered to him as he watches her eyes melt into something too soft and too tender.
Too much to be pointed at him.
Worse than a blade.
"You thought I was rejecting you yet you still spent time with Jang Uk today. You still trained with him and praised him and--" the rest of her words are swallowed by the sob that tears through her lips.
His body moves towards her before he even makes the conscious decision.
He had made her cry.
He wants to attack himself.
Placing both hands on her shoulders he speaks in his most soothing tone.
"Do not cry. This will not affect my relationship with your young master. I like him and enjoy spending time with him, I know it makes you happy but I also wanted to do it. So you don't need to worry."
It's not until she looks at him that he realizes how close they are standing, her face filling his vision and desires that he shouldn't have swarm him like pests.
"I....I should leave."
He lowers his hands with finality, taking one, two, three steps backwards before turning and continuing his journey- he will go stay with Heo. His pupil will be too eager to house and tend to him. He had been so offended when he had informed him that he would be staying at the Jang Manor.
"Yes!"
His foot pauses mid step, arms frozen by his side.
Was she agreeing that he should leave? That seemed superfluous as he was already making his way.
So she must be agreeing to something else.
He retreats once more.
When he turns her eyes are on the ground but the flush on her cheek is even more blinding than before.
"Look at me Kim Doju."
She pouts, shifting nervously before following his request.
"Yes? What are you saying yes to?"
More shifting. She looks more nervous than soul shifters in front of Gwigu. It almost makes him laugh.
"To the offer you made. Before. My answer is yes."
"You want to take a walk?"
"What?"
She glares at him. He stares back blankly.
"I have made you many offers recently. Most that you have already turned down. So please be specific. I do not want to get confused."
She bites her full bottom lip and he's tempted to know how it would feel if he did that to her. Or her to him.
Lord, he needed to have more tea.
"Your less gracious than I had originally thought."
He shrugs, moving closer to her. Eyes never leaving that face that haunts him.
"I just prefer clarity. I want you to clearly tell me what you want."
She gets that same glint in her eyes that he's seen on a certain troublemaker before she steps closer with thunder in her eyes.
"You."
This time he stumbles back, his face feels like it's on fire.
"Was that clear enough for you Master Lee?"
He should be scared that the smirk on her face does nothing but make him want her even more, he desperately wants this whirlwind of a woman.
"I never meant for you to think that I was rejecting you. I just... spending time with you makes my master happy and I wanted him to be happy. Seeing you together makes me.... happier than I thought I could be. His father left when he was young and I've been all he's had but now he has you too."
His heart warms as he listens to her explanation, not at all surprised that she was motivated by her love for her young master. Any anger that lingered behind disappears as he stares at her in disbelief at the implications in her words.
Too heavy for him to conceive them now.
For once he's speechless and he can only nod his understanding.
"I'm free for a walk tomorrow." She says without preamble, reaching out and tenderly squeezing his hands dangling between them clasped together.
His skin feels too thin for his body.
With a serene smile, she bends to place something at his feet before she starts to walk away.
It's only have he escapes his daze that he realizes the myriad of food at his feet, all wrapped up neatly and prettily with silk and bows.
With a fond smile, he picks it all up making his way to the room that Kim Doju had set up for him. He needed to get some rest after all, he had very important plans tomorrow.
