Valentine's Day Fic Teaser: Rein Isaka x Reader x Haruhito Amano

I had hoped to have a smut fic finished in time for today but as usual I kept procrastinating. But I thought I'd post a sneak peek of the little bit I have so far... ~~~~~~~ His languid pace slowing to a complete stop, Rein's interest is piqued by the selection of crimson satin and delicate black lace. Scantily clad mannequins are dotted throughout the large display, surrounded by a sea of heavily glittered cardboard hearts that twinkle like stars in the brightly lit window. Posed in a slightly provocative manner, the unrealistically proportioned dummies look more like they belong on the set of a horror movie, the red spotlights casting an eerie glow onto their poorly defined features, lifeless eyes fixed on passers by, their permanent stare strangely unsettling. "Do you want to go in?" Haruhito's effervescent voice pipes up interrupting the angel's train of thought, gently reminding him of his presence. His hand trembling with a nervous excitement, Rein gingerly pushes the glossy pink door, only to be met with resistance. Struggling to contain his laughter the lanky demon steps in front of his best friend, opening the door with ease. "You have to pull." He says with a grin, pointing a slender finger to the bold black letters above the handle. "I don't know why you look so worried. It's just underwear." ~*~ Tugging at his shirt collar, Rein swallows thickly, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat as a glamorous shop assistant totters towards him, her thin stiletto heels scraping against the floor like nails on a chalkboard with each ungainly step. "Hi." She smiles, twirling one of her platinum blonde curls around her finger. "Is there anything I can help you with?" His pale cheeks beginning to flush with embarrassment, the Irishman's gaze flits between the helpful employee, her eyelids drooping under the weight of her false lashes coated in a thick layer of jet black mascara, and the racks of skimpy undergarments. "Well, I er- I'm looking fer- " "It's okay." She pats him on the shoulder with a well manicured hand, her dark purple nails almost claw like. "We get a lot of guys in here at this time of year that don't have a clue where to start." Completely oblivious to his friend's discomfort, Haruhito ambles to the back of the shop, intrigued by the unusual objects littering the shelves. "Rein, c'mere!" Silently thanking the juvenile blond for the chance to escape, Rein politely excuses himself and scurries in the direction of the familiar, booming voice. ~*~ "What about something like this?" Convinced he has made the perfect choice, Haru proudly plucks a costume from the rail and thrusts it towards Rein with a wink. "She'd make a pretty cute little devil, if you ask me." "No!" His soft lilt replaced with a low growl, he snatches the skintight outfit from Haruhito's grasp and quickly stuffs it back onto the tightly packed rail. "Nobody asked ye, anyway." Unperturbed by the irate angel's response, Haruhito scans the shelves determined to find something that is guaranteed to give his favourite couple a memorable evening. Examining a pair of handcuffs that he found dangling from a hook on the back wall a little too eagerly for Rein's liking, his expression turns serious, pewter eyes glinting like the sleek metal nestled in the palms of his hands. "I'm jealous. I'd love to have someone to play with in bed." Haruhito's peculiar turn of phrase eliciting a string of high pitched giggles, more suited to a pack of hyenas from the gaggle of beautiful women stationed behind the tills, Rein groans, burying his burning face in his hands. "You can play with me anytime you like, gorgeous." A short, full figured sales girl leans against the cluttered counter, fluttering her spidery eyelashes. "You know what they say about tall men." Her flirtatious banter going over his head, he flashes her a dazzling smile before turning his attention back to the task in hand. This time, Haru chooses a pair of dice unlike any others he has ever seen. He studies them intently, his fair brows raised in surprise as he reads each side. Throwing them a little more vigorously than he intended, they land on the heavily scratched linoleum with a dull clatter. "Would you really lick someone there?" Rein lets out an exasperated sigh, his jaw clenched, he reluctantly glances at the floor. "Aye-" He trails off, thoughts drifting to you. "She really likes it when ye-" Biting his lip, he stops himself just in time, mentally berating himself for coming so close to carelessly blurting out such intimate details. "When you what?" Shaking his head, Rein strides back over to the racks crammed with figure hugging silk and satin, filled with a newfound enthusiasm to find you the perfect gift for Valentine's Day. "Never mind. It's not my job te teach ye about the birds and the bees." The sound of expensive leather hurriedly tapping against scuffed tiles fades into the distance, leaving Haruhito enthralled by the realistic looking lipstick sending powerful vibrations through his right hand. He fails to notice his new admirer slink towards him like a lion cornering its prey, her hips swaying as she closes in.

“Satisfied?” he asks in a low voice. They’re standing so close together that he has to look down his nose at her. Like clockwork, the high points of her cheeks flush scarlet as she looks up at him in return, her eyes shining, more honey-brown than ink in the bright daylight.

“Yes,” Neve answers simply. But it seems to catch in her throat, a hint of rasp on the word. Her heart is hammering in her chest.

Fucking hells. That’s going to have to be enough assurance that she’ll be receptive, because he isn’t going to make it another day without a taste.
