As someone who wakes up spooning her blankest I'm curious what would HW Aemond do if Lady Tully was like that? Let's say they sleep with pillows in between but somehow she managed to throw them or roll over them and now Aemond is the little spoon. I think he would hold it over Lady Tully's head in a 'you love me too' way but then again he doesn't talk much and everytime he talks he says wrong things so...
How We Can Fit
Pairing: THW!Aemond x Reader;
Warnings: surprisingly... none? Some usage of strong language, but that should be all
Author's Note: Okay, I was planning to reply to this in my usual 3-4 sentences answer. BUT my mind kept thinking about this while in class, so have this sort of one-shot headcanon piece (?) that could have plausably happened in the "Harshest Winters" universe!
I did this while on the 30min ride back home, so don't really consider this a full on fanfic? More like a little snippet into what could have been idk :"))
Tumblr media
Sometimes he wishes he got to you first. What would have been then?
Tumblr media
And so cruel morning arrives, stirring Aemond awake, as would a mother’s gentle hand. Golden threads of daybreak light thread themselves into his silver hair, falling like a hailing echo down her calming face, giving her the image of naught else but a flaming Goddess.
His eye widens at the proximity between them. His right hand twitches in alienated bliss. Almost immediately, he stops his movements – his breathing – all in the hopes of not waking her up.
He trails his stare over her lips, slightly parted in their merry sleep, and over her plump cheeks, marred slightly red by the blissfulness of her dreaming.
His heart is hammering out of his chest, for he can feel her limbs entangled with his, holding him closer yet to her heaving form.
For but a moment, the calls of blasphemy and duty pull him away from the glorious sight before him. It was past dawn, and he had a war to win.
Still his heart broke upon thinking of leaving her unintentional embrace.
Perhaps he could stay in bed some more.
Tumblr media
Two, mayhaps three hours passed.
In her tender slumber, the girl’s hands remained snaked around the Targaryen’s lean chest. Her chin was plopped above his head, leaving a very conflicted Aemond to wrestle underneath her bosom, and hold her gently by the nape of her neck, and small of her back.
A low purr almost escaped his lips, as her tiny heartbeats reached his contempted ears.
But all good things must come to an end. And his perfect morning stopped abruptly, as his Lady took in a deep breath, and slowly tried to rouse from their entangled sheets.
“Mmm…” She sighed into the warm pillows, “... Jace?”
All his blood that had gone to his crotch, now left for his ears. Aemond pursed his lips tightly in response to her sleepy question, and only drove his head further into her neck. If he closed his eye fast enough, then maybe…
A near-horrified shriek parted from her downturned mouth, and the woman made haste to rise from her resting place, peeling her warm body off of Aemond’s.
This had not been the right approach, she chastised herself relentlessly, whilst biting on her lower lip. If he wasn't already awake before her, he most certainly was now.
Her cheeks were set ablaze, both embarrassed and offended, as she noticed the separating wall she’d made between them… discarded away, on the Prince’s half of the wide bed.
“I know you’re awake, you know.” The woman hushed to the Targaryen, while crossing her arms over her aching chest. “Pretending to be asleep is beneath you.”
“As were you, My Lady, whilst coddled up to me.” The older man mused to himself, and whistled lowly, while his voice oozed out with confidence – although his lilac orb had strayed away, glimmering with a look akin to a growing discomfort.
Uncertainty.
“Should I assume your desperation to blossom from feeling cold at night? … Or, on the contrary, for feeling too hot near me?” A taciturn smirk pulled at his lips. “I should be very happy to help relieve you. With either affliction of the two.”
The Lady’s face turned sour, and her nose scrunched up at his advances. “I should find myself in ample heat, Prince Aemond, thank you. Do not worry yourself to touch me further.”
Familiar anger swirled dangerously inside his purple hue, and the Prince Protector of the Realm took a deep breath to soothe his nerves.
“Ungrateful wench.” He hissed through his gritted teeth. “You act like a bitch in heat, trying to seduce me, and then you pull away?”
Her mouth slouched open at his cutting words. “Excuse you?” She almost spat out in a low churl, “As if it wasn’t you who removed our barrier sometime along the night.” His irking remarks had brushed off any reminders of her mellow sleep. “Honour me by answering this, my Prince – between the two of us, who’s acting more like the bitch in heat?”
(Y/N) didn’t think Aemond was capable of blushing – but as she gave him a haughty glare, one that he couldn’t look away from, his face turned of a violent hue.
She had a point. He had removed the pillows that kept his body away from her, and did encourage her movements throughout his sleepless night.
Wordlessly, he scowled, starting to regret sleeping in with her.
“Do not flatter yourself, My Lady. You are no better than any maid I can find at any brothel.” His body burned with shame at his own words, and yet he couldn’t stop the flow that followed. “Hmm, but dare I even compare you to one?” His mouth contorted to a painful scowl, “At least there I should be able to rise up their skirts and see what’s underneath. Go as far as to pay two silvers for a real maiden, too.”
Long and hard had he awaited her next reply, but to no avail. After a quick quirk of her brow, the woman had turned around, getting off the bed and gathering the pillows from the cold floor.
“You won’t say anything? Do you care so little for your honour?”
“I care not what you think of it. And I certainly have no reason to prove myself to you.”
“Aeveris ābra.” He growled at her lack of interest. “Skoro syt līs ao qrimbrōzagon issa sīr?”
Still fuming with dissatisfaction, the young Prince slid out of the bed and began putting on his leather pants. His ire had reached peaks of no return, but he would be damned if he ever tormented the girl further.
His words had done nothing to aid him. His countenance, even less. There was no point in him staying in her presence any longer.
As he put on the last reminder of his clothes, the King Regent of the Seven Kingdoms made four wide steps towards the big, oak doors.
“I shall return later. We’ll dine together, as we do every night.”
Her silent treatment broke him from the inside out. He would apologize to her, when the time was right.
The ridiculous thought put an end to his automatic movements.
… Since when does he feel the need to do that?
Since he dared to love her, came his bitter reply.
His hand reached for the door, but her voice rang out through the wide chamber.
“Nyke dōmrī daor naejot naevlor iksum. Olvie less ao.”
Hearing her proud and crystal words, Aemond allowed a stilling smile to grace his lips.
"Nyke ȳdra daor jaelagon naejot naviras ao. Dōrī ao." He corrected her as he stepped away.
"Fret not, there is plenty of time for me to teach you."
… If only he’d gotten to her first.
Tumblr media
Translations:
“Aeveris ābra.” = Vile woman.
“Skoro syt līs ao qrimbrōzagon issa sīr?” = Why must you curse me so?
“Nyke dōmrī daor naejot naevlor iksum. Olvie less ao.” = (in a VERY broken High Valyrian) I never meant to tempt anyone. Much less you.
Tumblr media
Yeah, Aemond is kinda dumb when it comes to romance <3

This public poem was written as a response to a Biblical story from the Book of Judges that stopped me in my tracks (The Levite and his Concubine.) Here is the epitaph: "At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight." Judges 19:26
Feel free to fill the tip jar: Pp is [email protected] and KOfi is KOfi.
Tumblr media
eliza myrie, horrific/ headline
The work of art best visually sums up the poem. Here are excerpts:
Is she blunted cotton, a battered head, a curled fist ? Little girl, go to bed.
Bruised chests readymade for fig cakes and dripping bones.
At dawn an overabundance of straw; the glassy eye of a withered coral.
She was to be pounded into copper yeast; a cluttered doll, after all.
Impossible yet plummeting; a cup of marred wine for maws; nothing to hold.
They kept opening doors, a plundered watery town hall. The dog, bloated and awry.

mars - gojo x reader
based on the song "mars" by sleeping at last
genre: angst, established relationship, gn!reader ; wc: 0.8k
warnings: general angst, blood, violence, graphic imagery, major character death basically i got really carried away and it's disturbing
Tumblr media
This mission could very well be your last - the one that put a decisive end to your career. Or your life.
You realized as much while you belted on your armor and weapons for what could possibly be the last time. It was a macabre sight for sunset - you are young, still, and so were all the others whose lives would be on the line. How many would die you didn't know.
"Hey, hey, don't look so depressed! We'll be fine!" he said, wrapping an arm casually around your shoulder, "I hate not getting to fight with you, but I'll see you on the other side, yeah?"
"Yeah, I'll see you on the other side." You let yourself lean into his shoulder, "I love you, Satoru."
With a giggle, he kissed you on the cheek, "Aww, I love you too. Now let's go kill some curses, and if we're done early enough I'll take you out on a date, kay?"
You couldn't help but chuckle at his nonchalance. "I'll hold you to it."
His calm was enviable, a bit of his confidence trickling into you as you began making your way to your post. Neither of you looked back.
Tumblr media
By daybreak, there was only carnage. The battle - hours, it must've been - was blurring together in your mind, the hundreds of creatures you cut down combining into a horrific mass in your memories. There was blood on your clothes, some yours, some from the curses, some from the others-
The others.
Satoru.
Satoru.
He was supposed to be nearby, but you knew, you knew how he fought: for all you knew he was in the next county over. But still you ran, heaving your heavy and aching bones forward, searching for that stupidly carefree man. Though each step sent splinters of pain through your muscles, you ran, searching blindly and desperately for his white hair and bright laugh.
It was Ijichi, standing deathly still on the battlefield, who served as your landmark. One of the many cleaning up the mess.
"SATORU" You called, running faster, tripping over your aching feet, falling with every step but unable to stop. Ijichi watched you with a hollow gaze as you approached, quivering in the air thick with smoke.
At your feet was a body, broken and bloodied. Whatever had ended this life was not merciful, and the twisted limbs and pools of blood were testimony.
Those ice-blue eyes had never seemed so lifeless.
Satoru.
"SATORU" You cried, falling to your knees with a crack, searing pain shooting through your brutalized body. "SATORU YOU PROMISED. YOU PROMISED WE'D MAKE IT OUT OF THIS."
Your throat burned from the screaming and the smoke, and the tears stung as they escaped your eyes. Water tainted by blood and dirt dripped onto Satoru's lifeless form, Satoru the man who was never injured, the man who laughed in battle because he knew he would see the light of the next day. But this time he did not.
Satoru's final daybreak had passed. And yours had not. How backward that seemed - you were the one who wondered late at night what might happen if you were to become one of the casualties, the one that was reassured every day that you won't die.
"Satoru... Satoru.... I love you." you whispered, though your words held no weight now. Had they ever? The late-night conversations, the gentle kisses, the teasing and flirting and wholehearted love - did any of them matter? At one point you'd hoped that those words would become your life, your future, your forever. But that could no longer be so. Because Satoru was gone.
Gojo Satoru, confidence personified, indestructible, was dead.
Ijichi tapped your shoulder gently. "We best be going. They're here for him, and you need a doctor."
You stood up hollowly, watching Satoru's body be picked up and carried away as Ijichi led your half-dead soul to a car. The memories replayed like broken records in your mind.
Tumblr media
You lived through three more daybreaks before you saw Satoru again. Though it wasn't really him - only what remained, a dull greyish powder in an unremarkable jar. There was no life, nor even an echo of the brightness he once was.
When you received the call, you pondered again if this mission would be your last. And this time there was nobody to console you, nobody to make empty promises to smile with you again once it was over. Only the broken recollections of him.
Go, make a better life without me. He would've told you. Keep my students safe, fight more curses, and find love again. Be full of life.
Gojo Satoru always had too much faith.
Tumblr media
oh god that hurt to write... happy heartbreak ig

Louis-Étienne Saint-Denis’ description of Napoleon and Marie Walewska on Elba:
As the visitors arrived late we hurried to serve dinner. This being an informal occasion His Majesty himself carved the meats and poured the wines; he took great pleasure in serving the ladies himself; during the entire meal the Emperor was very gay, gracious and charmingly gallant. He was happy. Marchand and I attended to the service.
Madame Walewska must have been very beautiful in her youth. Though nearing thirty she was still lovely, though her otherwise flawless complexion was somewhat marred by a few tiny red veins. Apart from that her skin was milky white with a pink cast—evidence of good health. She had a very nice figure, a lovely mouth, fine eyes; her hair was very light chestnut or dark blonde; there was great sweetness about her; she seemed to me like an excellent person. It was obvious that the Emperor found her very attractive.
Her sister looked charming. She must have then been about eighteen or nineteen and radiantly fresh. She had regular features, but was not as tall as Madame Walewska. The young boy looked a bit pale and his features were very like the Emperor’s; he was rather serious for his age.
The Emperor saw the ladies to their quarters and returned to undress in his tent. It must be said that at Elba the Emperor was surrounded by people who were new in his service and did not know about discretion. What they saw they repeated. It is surprising that he, who had such a liking for secrecy, would have behaved in what seemed to me a rather incautious manner. Both evenings of Madame Walewska’s visit he came out of his tent wearing a dressing gown and went to her room where he stayed until daybreak. It was obvious to all what was going on... Even the most humble of his subjects would have been more skilful at conducting a secret love affair than the Emperor. I have often noticed that in matters of love humble people are much better at preserving appearances than the grand seigneurs.

I have Irida and Adaman in Pokémon Masters so I thought I'd give you an update because I recall you being unsettled by the concept. Their event had them fall through a rift like the one about Mount Coronet and, though they argued, quickly accepted oh we're in the future/far away (a trial from Dialga/Palkia), displaced just like the player characters/warden Ingo. Then event with time distortions happen, Adaman and Irida get confused about Arezu (Mars) and Coin (Saturn) respectively, day is saved, but the Rift they came through is still there and accessible. The two decide to stay for now to learn about the people and Pokemon's bonds and act as help for any future past time travelers coming through (future Hisuian pairs ayooo) before heading back. Irida is scheduled to be in the lodge next month (minigame where you talk with the characters) but her voice fits and I enjoy the dialogues I've gotten so far - she has learned about gym leaders and decides she would be an ice type gym leader, she's excited to meet the Kahunas of Alola and find out what kind of Pokémon they are (wait they're not pokemon?). Adaman is in the Lodge already. His events center on him asking your character to teach him how to use a phone, and then waking you early with an ominous phonecall before revealing he made food as thanks but got excited. Two of his "Very Interesting" conversational topics you can choose is "Melli" and "Mai"! I can report with more as they come if you'd be interested! (I was worried too but they've been handled well I believe)
Thanks so much for this! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me, and I’m happy that you’ve been enjoying the game ^^
There’s some interesting stuff here, and some of it makes me really happy because it’s very much based on canon details from pla! They’re also details that I personally treasure about the characters, so it’s cool that the writers used/expanded on them and funnily enough both come from (or are confirmed) by the daybreak update.
Not to “um, actually” (I’m excited to share information!!) but this wouldn’t be the first time that Irida has learned of gym leaders, or even expressed her desire to become one! She actually learns of the concept during a conversation at the very end of the update (also Adaman and Mai’s faces alskalaldjsk)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mention of Adaman cooking literally made me smile so hard because he is heavily implied/is confirmed to have a passion (or at least an interest) in cooking. As seen here Adaman reveals that he’s been spending time learning from Beni, more specifically recipes (and also ninja skills pfff)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is also seen helping out and serving food in the end titles photo. Adaman is totally a foodie
Tumblr media
Irida mistaking the kahunas as pokemon is absolutely adorable lmao. I can’t blame her for being confused, what with her having no context and all, but it’s still very endearing. Also Adaman calling someone super early is totally an Adaman thing to do. He is a canon early bird, and we know he has a tendency to just. Do things. Abruptly. So I think that really fits his character well.
I do have a few concerns with some of what I’ve read here, but nothing too major. Again, thanks so much for the info! I really appreciate it 💜

GARGOYLES no.10 • cover art • David Nakayama [Mar 2024]
Brooklyn's attempts to lead the Clan have left him feeling disappointed and estranged from those he is closest to. But when news of a kidnapping comes in, it's up to Brooklyn, Lexington, and Broadway to save the day. Can they come together in time to make the daring rescue? Or will daybreak stop them in their tracks?

Imagine you’re Luxu for a second. Your master/father (figure?) has told you that your role is to watch over the future until you die, pass on the Keyblade he gave to you, and keep tabs on a box. He also told you that you couldn’t interfere with events. Except you’re clearly the wrong person for the job, being as impatient and concerned about others as you are. So what do you do?
Violate the Master’s direct order and body-hop through the ages, learning to imitate—no, to become your current body to such a degree that you start losing your sense of self, just a little. Your personality is made up of bits and pieces you’ve collected over the eons. You brush it off, you would’ve changed over time anyways with new experiences and interactions. That’s what you tell the mess that is “yourself”, anyways.
Your current body was a loner, standoffish. Kept to himself. Perfect target. You’d started possessing the outcasts and abandoned, easier to assume their roles or invent an entirely new persona for them that way. You still had to observe their mannerisms to pass as them, but it wasn’t as much work.
His Your name was Braig, before you had your heart ripped out and the Sigil placed in your anagram. You, as Braig, somehow managed to get into Ansem the Wise’s good graces and became a guard and apprentice. These days they call you Xigbar.
You wouldn’t be able to fulfill your role if you’d actually become a Nobody; that (non)existence defeats the whole purpose of possession. So you waited until the opportune moment to insert your heart back into “your” body.
“Mar” something had a familiar air to him. The youth’s heart was ancient, like yours. You’d gotten a feel for how different hearts shone in the many you had to release from your victims. It had been an age since you felt that special light of a Daybreak Town wielder. Well, there was Ventus, but he didn’t count. Based on what the old coot had told you, it was obvious he was from the Age of Fairytales.
Same with the only lady of the Organization at least until Poppet came along. It was odd that they found Larxene in the same world as Marluxia, but you put the thought aside. No need to focus on such coincidences when your role was nearing its completion. The scapegoat was finally here in the one thought to be the Child of Destiny, and that meant the Keyblade War would happen again. And you would live to see it again, but not before your “death” and subsequent recompletion at the hands of the true Child of Destiny.
The Graveyard was the same as when you’d left it over a decade ago. Of course it was. Why wouldn’t it be? Time does not touch this place.
You told Luxord to find the Box. Not because you’d lost it, that’s just silly! He’d confronted you in Thebes later, immediately calling your bluff. That’s what you get for dealing with a gambler, you thought to yourself. But you took comfort in the hope knowledge that the Box would be safely back in your care by the time or directly after the Keyblade War was over.
Your old companions, in all their colorful, animal-themed glory, coalesced from the dust and wind. They gathered around you. All were exactly as you remembered them in personality and mannerism, from Aced’s insistence he knows what’s going on to Gula’s quiet and pointed observations. It was nice to see everyone again, but you’d changed. Ira pointed out as much: “Is that you, Luxu? You look different.” Looking back on it, if your Master had simply given you all roles which matched your strengths, none of this would’ve happened. But he chose the wrong roles on purpose, you recall with a roiling in your chest, in order to create conflict and allow Darkness to feed on it.
“I hope you like long stories,” you’d said, before explaining everything as concisely as possible. You conveniently left out the Master’s true intentions. They didn’t need to hear that part. When the tale was done, the horror settled on your friends’ faces behind their intricate masks. They hid their identity with them, as you had with your semblances through the years.
“It’s still me, underneath it all,” you’d told Invi. But was that really true anymore?

D4DJ Voice Actor's and Headcanon Voice Actors.
Tumblr media
This will be a little different than my usual VA headcanon posts because this will actually feature both canon AND headcanon VA's from this series.
The only instance where D4DJ has been dubbed in English is the first season of the anime, which primarily featured Happy Around, Peaky P-Key and Photon Maiden, and while the other units made cameos and had voiced scenes, they didn't really get the spotlight. I wanted to include all the characters in the post though, because I very quickly fell in love with this series and the storylines, and characters sing to me, pun not intended.
So this is kind of a roundup of the voice actors of the characters in English, as well as who I think would voice the characters who DON'T appear in English. The rules are the same as ever.
The most important thing to remember is that the unnoficial VA's are NOT CANON. They are HEADCANONS ONLY. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.
Characters who are NOT official will be marked with an asterisk (*) to distinguish them from the official ones.
So here we go again:
Tumblr media
Rinku Aimoto - EMI LO
Also Voiced:
Lucy (Cyberpunk Edgerunners)
Rena Ryuuga (Higurashi: When They Cry)
Suma (Demon Slayer)
Mirai Shishio (Dr Stone)
Destiny (takt op. Destiny)
Maho Akashi - KARIN KAGAMI
Also Voiced:
Urara Haneyama (Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress)
Timar (The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak)
Akane (Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress)
NOTE: Karin Kagami voices Maho in both the English AND Japanese dubs of D4DJ First Mix. Currently she is the only voice actress of any Bushiroad property to accomplish this.
Muni Ohnaruto - LILYPICHU (LILY KI)
Also Voiced:
Sayu (Genshin Impact)
Yoshi (Don't Toy With Me, Ms Nagatoro)
Onion Cookie (Cookie Run Kingdom)
Juno (Omega Strikers)
Megumi Okura (Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress)
Rei Togetsu - ANAIRIS QUINONES
Also Voiced:
Mirko (My Hero Academia)
Echidna (Re:ZERO)
Nessa (Pokemon: Twilight Wings)
Yoruichi Shihoin (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War)

Ketu and Purpose of life
The sooner your talents and limitations are identified, the more blunders you can steer clear of!
Identify your mission!
In the Vimshottari dasha system of Vedic Astrology, Ketu and Rahu both have their own periods, with the primary Ketu period lasting seven years. If Ketu is not in the proper position, it is said that one cannot endure more. In a sense, Ketu pulls a person into a spiritual existence throughout its phase by eliminating material ties.
Every planet has its own season throughout the year. The peak summer season in India, which falls in May and June in the West, is tied to Ketu along with the Sun and Moon.
Ketu gains more power during Dakshinayan, like all malefics (when the Sun passes along the northern path - from June 21 to December 22).
The days throughout the month when the Moon passes over the Ketu-owned Nakshatras of Ashvini (Aries), Mahga (Leo), and Mula are when Ketu is most potent (Sagittarius).
Additionally, Ketu is associated with Chaturthi, or the fourth lunar day of a waning or growing moon. And in Krishna Paksha, Ketu is most potent (the time when the Moon is waning).
Every day of the week has a distinct planet linked with it, as you are all aware. And because of his excellent relationships with Jupiter and Mars, it is said that Ketu is most potent on Tuesday and Thursday.
Ketu's powers are most potent during daybreak and the early morning hours. In Vedic culture, this period is known as Brahma Muhurta. The Creator's time is now. The astral spheres are at their greatest during Brahma Muhurta, making this the ideal time for meditation and devotion. You may now feel the Divine and have a spiritual experience.
People who are born at night are most impacted by Ketu in their life since, like other malefics, he is strongest during the night.
The time of Ketu in a person's life is between the ages of 47 and 54. When they get close to this age, people change. Depending on the placement of Ketu and the planets in the horoscope, a person may acquire a lot at this time or lose everything.
A spiritual journey is thought to begin at the age of 47.

Ruki Mukami x Reader: 1st Year Anniversary
Tumblr media
Word count: 3,650
Author's note: This was a joy to write as chaotic, plot convenient, and all over the place as it was. I hope you all enjoy! All art and writing is done by me.
“We’ve been together for one year now, Livestock. Can you believe it? Our first encounter is certainly one to commemorate. It was quite the fateful day, finally taking you in as a prey of my own. You often interrupted my reading and teased me enough to warrant harsh discipline, whether it was sinking my fangs in you until you fainted or confining you in solitude… but I think today should be celebrated in a very special way, one that you will remember for the rest of your life. I wouldn’t be a very good master if I only ever punished you, now would I? Let’s leave this quiet manor for once and indulge in a bit of merriment downtown,” said the Vampire as he gathered several necessary belongings for an excursion to places far more entertaining and enriching than the same old living room, study, dungeon, and so on. “Don’t dawdle, now. We have the whole day and night to ourselves and I won’t tolerate a single idle moment from you.”
Daybreak shone through the stone-paved entranceway of the Mukami manor and the sapphire skies above to welcome the imminent change of seasons, foehns of summer giving way to pre-autumnal gales that caressed Ruki’s atramentous strands of hair as well as your own. Not too humid, nor too dry; ideal enough to venture outdoors without risking the sun’s permanent assailment upon marred skin thanks to the Vampire’s bites as a frequent reminder of ownership. Clad in an argentine blazer with lapels that subtly ruffled in the wind’s wake, the remainder of his ensemble reminiscent of his own hair, he proudly took your hand in his to embark and welcome the new chapter ahead: another year of love expressed in what others might define as ‘abuse’ on the surface, yet a relationship you’ve come to appreciate in the most twisted of ways. Perhaps Stockholm syndrome finally settled in, perhaps he broke your addled mind, but for now the outing ahead superseded your interest.
“Ah… Soon you’ll have to dress a tad warmer than before. This very path we’re treading,” a glance around the surrounding woods offered him a surprising yet welcome peace of mind, “is much like when I first allowed you outside of this place. How does the fresh air feel against your skin? I’m sure prey like you ought to be thankful.”
Birds soaring through celestial sang their routine serenade; tree branches waltzed with the zephyr overhead; shades of verdant adorned the beloved surroundings. A drastic contrast compared to that of the morose and gray mansion you knew so well by now. Evergreens loomed; sunshine filtered through foliage. Averting his gaze upward, Ruki couldn’t help but reminisce on the holiday that Vampires hardly ever celebrated. Another polar opposite, the sweltering rays dusted an undeniable warm upon their skin unlike the delicate snowfall of December.
“These trees remind me of the one my brothers and I erected in our home for Christmas that one time. It’s incredibly rare for us to celebrate such a human-specific frivolity, but nonetheless I enjoyed spending that holiday with you at my side. Perhaps this year we’ll have a different kind of feast compared to before… And you’ll finally get that special item of yours that you’ve been eyeing all this time,” the Vampire teased with a light head pet against the crown of your head. “Nothing gets past me—not even your piqued interest in the most mundane things. If you behave yourself, then you might just be spoiled this year.”
The festive season. The rambunctious commotion of the four Mukami brothers gathered around the illuminated tree with carefully wrapped presents of their own all felt so long ago somehow like a distant memory from a fever dream. They say time flies by when you have fun, and while this family of impure Vampires were the last people you ever expected to have fun with, Ruki managed to demonstrate everything from his irredeemable sadistic moments to his laughably ordinary, almost humanlike sides of himself, especially during Christmas. Then came New Year’s, flooding forth a plethora of memories from neon fireworks, staying up to watch the first sunrise, and visiting the shrine for your fortune thereafter. The eldest truly never allowed a moment of respite amongst the busy schedule, today being an exception raising unfathomable curiosity for what he had in store.
“It’s been many months since then, but have your so-called New Year’s resolutions come true? That would rely on your own efforts, of course. I still think the idea of setting those yearly goals for yourself is a bit juvenile, but nonetheless I commend your hard work. There have been many changes in both of our lives, some we’re more willing to admit than others, but I’d say overall we have grown and developed for the better. Wouldn’t you agree, Livestock? Every day you continue to prove to me that you are more competent than you look… I’m impressed.”
Chatting with Ruki left your nostalgia-infested thoughts so occupied that you didn’t even notice the two of you eventually stopped by one of your favorite restaurants. Very seldomly the Vampire would take you here to indulge in the most delectable brunch food. Not only did the cooking rival his own, but also the menu offered a wide variety of dishes to satisfy anyone walking through the bell-chimed doors indicating a new visitor has arrived. Those same tintinnabulations resounded as you two entered, reserving a private table for two on the veranda outside. It would be a shame to eat inside when the picturesque scenery outside was right there, after all, or so Ruki most likely thought in his inner monologues. Seated under a canopy for shade, both of you glanced down at the menus below, each item and description written in the most elegant of cursive fonts.
“Hm, I think I shall order my usual. As you may have surmised by now, soup is my favorite for a multitude of reasons. Ones that I have already explained to you many times. How about you, Livestock? It’s my treat, so order whatever you would like.” When the Vampire heard your response, he simply raised a brow and narrowed his eyes in both disbelief and slight frustration. “Oh, please. This is not some fast-food chain. You can have that dish anywhere, so you might as well order a special dish.”
Stingy as always. Darting your attention to another, much more unique cuisine from the menu of your choosing, ultimately you settled on that instead. After several more minutes of small talk, the waiter finally set both your plates filled to the brim with the most mouth-watering food atop the table. Anyone would’ve marveled at the sight of the freshly prepared meals, so much so that even Ruki began to scold you for your rushed eating speed.  
“Slow down. The food isn’t going anywhere. You act as though I don’t already feed you enough,” he chastised, taking a hesitant bite of his own. “It sure is delicious, even I must admit. Even so, that’s no excuse to inhale everything.”
As he ate his own bowl of creamy chicken and wild rice soup, for a while the Vampire could not help but observe your countenance rather intensely. Reaching for a napkin, he leaned close towards you, mere inches away from across the table.
“Hold still. You have some food on your face. Ah, this bit isn’t coming off…” a few attempts with the napkin proved insufficient in removing a certain sauce stain on your cheek. With an exasperated sigh, Ruki had no choice but to lick it off himself, much to your embarrassment. Relishing in the dusted blush across your visage, he let out an amused chuckle, smirking to himself upon the sudden intimate proximity. “Heh, how adorable. Do you truly think I care whether we’re in public or not? You’re mine no matter where we go. I can lick my livestock’s face as I please,” said Ruki matter-of-factly, returning to his seat. “Besides, I never tire of watching you get so flustered at your master’s touch.”
Retreating his spoon deep into the broth, he brought the utensil to your lips.
��Here, try some. I promise you’ll enjoy it.”
Hesitant, you followed the Vampire’s orders. Throwing all your expectations to the winds, the soup he ordered exceeded what you anticipated. Everything from the hearty taste, the savory flavor, chunks of vegetables and creamy texture like paradise in your mouth completely blew you away. With a closed-eye smile, Ruki removed the spoon and snickered a bit at your reaction.
“Perhaps I’ll cook it for dinner one of these nights.”
Thankfully, the rest of the brunch date went smoothly and without any more humiliating mishaps. Both of you satisfied your hunger to the utmost fulfilment, leaving little room for any other food thereafter yet not too stuffed.
“Dessert, huh. I think I’ll pass. I’m not one for sweets anyway—though I must admit those chocolates look an awful lot like the ones I made for Valentine’s Day. Do you remember, Livestock?” A finger glossed over the photographed image of deluxe chocolates and bonbons arranged in heart motifs with other fanciful décor. “Your blood already makes for the perfect dessert anyway… Kidding, of course. I won’t suck from you yet.”
Once the Vampire paid for everything, the two of you departed the cozy restaurant ready to tackle today’s agenda with a full stomach and lifted spirits. Nearby the chain of cafes and eateries lied a string of various shopping districts, malls, boutiques, and just about any place that would thrill the hearts of shopaholics everywhere. However, you knew already that Ruki only ever visited the store to buy the necessities given his frugality with Karlheinz’s funds. Raising your hopes now could lead to disappointment, or so you speculated. Again, he entangled his hand with yours, fingers locked in a possessive grip as if you could float away any moment.
“Now that we’ve sated our hunger, there’s somewhere else I’d like to take you. It’s near where we went together for my birthday. And no, we’re not there to do groceries as usual. I’ve been thinking lately that you are in need of some new garments, so consider our next destination a reward of sorts.”
Thunderclaps of footsteps resounded from hundreds of many other patrons wandering the city as you and Ruki traipsed passed various establishments, hand-in-hand like a seemingly ordinary couple rather than Master and Livestock. People walking in cardinal directions from shop to shop, meanwhile the Vampire beside you stopped momentarily at the ringing of faint wedding bells from a nearby chapel. Since Ruki stopped, you had no choice but to halt your pace as well, pivoting your head where his gaze directed.
“Well, would you look at that…? Those two lovebirds over there look like they just got married. What traditional wedding clothes… I remember seeing a similar sight when I was a young child attending an after-party.”
Suddenly, Ruki turned his whole body to face yours, squeezing the grip he had on your hand with a gentle smile to betray the protective grasp he maintained over you.
“Let’s do it one day, too. Marry, I mean. Well, it may be a long while until then, but for now…”
Retrieving a small ring from his blazer’s pocket, he swiftly slid it along your finger. White gold, sparkling brightly under the sunshine. On the other side of the band were both of your names engraved.
“I want you all to myself, Livestock. I’d hate for an interfering whelp to come in between us, so this will have to do. Of course, I can always inflict more of my bite marks on you, but I had this prepared for a while, truth told,” he whispered against your pinna. “Think of me always as you wear this.”
Warmth and fondness suffused each syllable of Ruki’s words as he drew you close for a tight hug, administering comforting back rubs along your spine to show his undying appreciation for you. All the snuggles and cuddles he often lavished you in always felt bittersweet, an amalgamation of the past bloodsucking and tender moments clouding your thoughts, yet even so you couldn’t help but reciprocate the sentiment, arms draped around his shoulders.
After a while of hugging, the two of you finally visited the store he originally intended to step foot in. Racks of ornate clothing sporting bold and beautiful prints lined the walls from every corner including the displays in the center of the expanse, barring several changing rooms in the back. As he browsed the merchandise, his fingertips lingered upon a particular stunning piece, one you certainly wouldn’t mind donning yourself. Immediately taking notice of this, Ruki snatched both the apparel and your hand once more and headed for a changing room.
“Go and try this on,” he ordered as he practically threw the clothes into your arms. “I’ll be waiting out here.”
Despite the curtains separating you both, somehow you could feel the Vampire’s gaze on you as you changed into the new ensemble. Seemingly exchanging burlap for the finest of silk with how extravagant the attire looked, you reluctantly exited the changing room after wearing what he instructed you to, unaware of how well it appeared. Sure, it may fit like a glove, but only until you stepped out did you see your own reflection in a gargantuan mirror, obscured only by an impressed Ruki with mouth slightly agape and enlarged jewels upon your resplendence. Effulgent chiffon, bedazzled buttons along the seams, and an eye-catching contrast of hues. Draping his arms around you from behind as you viewed your vertically flipped image, the Vampire locked his gaze with your reflection. On top of the ring he gifted you, a new set of garments seemed to good to be true yet even so he didn’t seem to harbor an ounce of malicious intent as his lips met your cherubic cheek in adoration.  
“This outfit looks lovely on you, Livestock. In fact, you no longer look like mere prey with this on… Instead, you look like the most exquisite person I’ve ever laid my eyes on,” he said after withdrawing from the brief kiss. “You truly endear me… It’s almost a crime to have you out in public like this when I want to bury my fangs into you.”
Without changing back into your original attire, Ruki bought the cherished ensemble for you soon you two departed the store. By now, sunset approached by the minute, skies in a glorious gradient of aquamarine to sherbet orange with a blanket of stratus clouds lining the horizon. Fewer people roamed the streets, easing you into a sense of comfort with quieter crowds and less congestion all around.
“It seems we still have an hour or so of daylight left. Care to join me for a stroll along the nearby shores? Not like you have much of a choice, anyway. Not when I’m never allowing you to leave my side.”
A few more blocks, down a spiraling flight of stairs, and your shoes met with the soft particulate sand below. Salty sea breezes and the balsamic gusts sifting through your hair greeted you both in tandem with the to and fro of foamy waves kissing the shoreline. Behemoth mossy formations of dark rock bordered the outskirts of an otherwise deserted beach, you and Ruki being its sole visitors for whatever mysterious reason. How could anyone elude such a beauteous sight, sparkling oceans and iconic blue? Islands lost in the atmosphere beyond and floating structures dotted the vanishing point. Blissful tides as reassuring as the Vampire’s gentle smile took your imagination to the very image of tropical idyll; an immaculate harmony between the imminent dusk and shadows framing the beach from clifftops and precipices standing tall above. Seashells, ranging from pearlescent to coral red threatened to prick at your feet, yet the two of you successfully avoided any odd obstacles for now.
“What a magnificent vista. It’s best we delight in sights like these before the winter prohibits us from doing so.”
More shells and intriguing sea critters crawled the arenaceous grounds as you both traipsed around the area. An attractive glimmer in the corner of your eye, however, soon caught your glance. A treasure of some sort? A token of appreciation you could retrieve for Ruki? Either way, your feet thought faster than your head and you eagerly skipped towards the object of your interest.
“Oi, Livestock. Just where do you think you are going? Get back here,” said the Vampire with a hint of playfulness as he followed. “If it’s a chase you want, then it’s a chase I’ll give you. Of course, you are no match for me.”
Ignoring his teasing threats, you accelerated your stride as if sprinting an Olympic marathon, turning your head back once to shoot the Vampire a light-hearted grin that screamed ‘catch me if you can.’ Steering towards an elevated part of the beach with a plethora of barnacles and rocks, you ran past two parallel structures of large cliffs to seek out the enigmatic jewel.  
“Wait…! I mean it this time,” he growled out. “It may be dangerous… Oi! Enough.”
Much to both your alarm, a foreboding, rumbling noise roared from overhead. Perhaps the beach had been deserted for a reason. Finally, the Vampire caught up to you, but as if on cue a landslide of boulders avalanched downhill. Without a moment to think, Ruki shielded you in his arms. Stone crumbled in the wake of the natural disaster, precipices shortening with their vestiges freefalling out of inconsideration towards your well-being, enclosing you in a secluded cove where you both sought shelter. As if nighttime arrived early, umbral dark surrounded you both, stealing your mortal sight. Instinctively you clung to the Vampire’s silk onyx shirt for purchase, hoping the two of you could escape the obstructed cavern soon. Thankfully your ring still remained intact on your finger, though the same probably couldn’t be said about your clothes, soiled from sand and dirt.   
“Good grief…! You could’ve been killed!! What am I to do with you,” he hissed. “You surely are a glutton for danger and the like… Sometimes I can’t handle it.”
While you might have been as blind as a bat, fortunately Ruki could still view the area adequately well. At least well enough to determine the height of the cove and where the boulders that nearly killed you eventually landed. Placing a hand on the algid, rocky surface, a grunt of indignation left him at the realization that for some peculiar reason, he lacked the means to teleport the both of you to the other side of the unforeseen formation. How strange indeed, like the boulders themselves were enchanted with an immunity to magic.
“Quick, I need your blood. I need to be strong enough to get us both out of here safely. If I make an exit with my own two hands, then we can finally leave this wretched place.”
Hearing that very suggestion sent shivers and chills throughout every fiber of your being even if you grew accustomed to his bite after this long, arduous year. Yet, you knew the two of you had to escape this enclosure somehow. Without waiting for your confirmation, Ruki tugged at the collar of your newly purchased clothes and hurriedly his fangs descended deep into the ample adipose. Metallic odors filled the cove, followed by black swallowing crimson. Shrouded in the dark, his pleased grunts and hums only became more noticeable than ever. Even if it pained you to feel the blood leaving your system, one couldn’t deny just how attractive Ruki sounded as he fed from you. At some point it felt less like a dire emergency and more like he got lost in the cloying redolence of your life essence, arms snaked around your waist to hold you snug against him.
“Ahh… That’s it. This is the blood that would make any Vampire thirsty for more, rather than slake my thirst from the get-go. Hm… You’ve always tasted sweet beyond compare,” Ruki praised, plunging his sharp stakes further into your flesh. “Almost there… Haah, I can feel it… You make me stronger than ever. With you, I’ll be able to carve us a way out of here.”
Finally withdrawing his fangs, he lightly set you down on the cold cove’s floor as his nails honed into vampiric claws. Tapered enough to slice through concrete itself, the newly strengthened Ruki slashed through the boulders with ease, grunting in resistance with each motion. Slowly but surely the sunset filtered past shattered rock, and much to your relief, he crushed the sediment to a large enough opening to allow you both to escape. Scurrying away from the bay, you both heaved heavy sighs and collapsed onto the seaside.
“Count your blessings that I caught up to you in time. If I lost you, then honestly I would never be able to forgive myself. My brothers, Karlheinz-sama… They’re all very important people to me but losing you would devastate me more than anything.”
Rising to his feet, Ruki helped you up and in doing so, pulled you into his solicitous embrace. Evening washed away the aflame scarlet skies, the celestial akin to that of the cove from which you just fled. Brushing a strand of hair away from your face, his lips met yours more hungrily than his fangs pierced your skin in a bloodied yet impassioned kiss. All trepidations melted away like the alpenglow as you entrusted yourself to the Vampire’s caring osculation.
“Never leave my side again.”
When Ruki pulled away from your lips, curiously enough a swarm of ignited lanterns ascended to the heavens. Flickering, glowing, irradiating the night sky in a spectacular golden display.
“I love you, Livestock. Stay with me always… This year, the next, always.”
