"A Jealous Encounter"

||| MDNI |||

Hot take:

Dawnbreaker is a sub for MC

One sentence I wrote for him has stayed in my mind for a while now: "I would surrender to you"

He's just happy he's able to touch her, and every touch fills him with such unbelievable joy that his pleasure, his needs are not even something that comes to mind

All he wants is to make her happy

Whatever she wants him to do, he'd do it

And if MC wants him to be more dom, he'd have a hard time doing the things she wants him to do but he'd do it

If it makes her happy

Even if it does leave him feeling guilty afterwards

But he draws the line at degradation. He can't say the things she wants him to say. Even though they both know it's all just a fantasy, the words evaporate on his trembling lips

"Please... Don't make me say that. You mean too much to me. I can't... I can't..."

This desperate, fragile man who would crumble to pieces if MC was ever displeased with him...

All he wants is to hold her, to love her, to show her how much he cares about her

Maybe after living together for a few years, he'd be able to fulfill all of her fantasies

But after finally getting the chance to touch her, all he wants...

Is to be loved by her

*Everyone is playing a board game together*

MC: I will put 'A' down to make 'A'.

Xavier: I will add onto your 'A' to make 'AT'.

Rafayel: I will add onto your 'AT' to make 'RAT'.

Zayne: I will add onto your 'RAT' to make 'BIOSTRATAGRAPHIC'.

Rafayel: *flips the board*

Dawnbreaker takes over Zayne's body but he's in the middle of a kitty cards game

He doesn't know how to play so MC ends up winning quickly in one or two turns

And he gets to see her be so happy that she finally beat Zayne in a match

All Dawnbreaker ever wanted was to see her smile and there she is right in front of him, smiling because of him. A genuine, pure joy, because of him

It's only when MC notices him staring at her with such a sad look on his face, the look of someone who's lost it all and knows he'll lose more, that her smile drops

Fear and panic flash in his eyes. He never wants this moment to end, yet it's because of him that it ends

The moment she asks "What's wrong?" is when Dawnbreaker is pulled back to his own reality, as if hiding himself from the one he wants to show himself to the most

So, about a hundred years ago @mustardyellowsunshine issued a handful of fic writing challenges. I started and abandoned several. Here’s one I randomly decided to finish, I’m so sorry to inflict it on you lmao.

Written in response to the Dialogue Only challenge. This...doesn’t deserve a title lol.

“Just go.”

“I can’t.”

“Just go!”

“I can’t!!”

“Kagome!”

“Inuyasha!”

“Stop being stubborn and just go.”

“This is so embarrassing!”

“What? I’m your husband!”

“So?? It’s bad enough we had to get a chamber pot for the million times I have to pee at night, but this—!”

“Please, you think Miroku never did this for Sango while she was pregnant? I guarantee he did!”

“Inuyasha, you dug me my hole, thankyouverymuch, but really I can take it from here.”

“Pfff, what, so you can lose your balance and fall ass-first into that hole and not be able to get up? Then I’d just have to come get you anyway.”

“...”

“Here, just...keep hold of my hand so you can squat down...”

“I’m actually going to die.”

“Shaddup. I know you’ve been having problems with this and now you finally need to go so just do it!”

“Okayyyyyeargh! Oh, ouch! Ow, ow, ow ow ow owowowowouch—! Ohhhhh thank goodness...”

“There, see?”

“Mmhmm.”

“Don’t let go, just use your other hand.”

“I am! Oh, geez...”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just...a little blood.”

“You okay?”

“Yeah I’m fine. Not really surprising, the way that stung.”

“If you’re sure. Alright up you go...one, two, hup—!”

“Well, I still maintain this is the most humiliating moment of this pregnancy. And I’m counting when I puked in front of your brother.”

“Ha!! That was great. Sprayed on his fur and everything.”

“Don’t remind me!”

“Just let me fill this in and I’ll take you to the stream to wash up...holy shit Kagome.”

“What??”

“No really. Holy shit. The gods must have helped you push that thing out.”

“Don’t look at it!!”

“Honestly, I’m impressed. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a shit that big.”

“Shut up!!”

“It’s damn near the same size as Shippo.”

“Inuyasha.”

“Looks like something Sesshomaru would drop in his true form.”

“INUYASHA!”

“I think I need to show this to Miroku, we can’t just bury this legend without anyone else seeing it.”

“I am going to murder you.”

“Really Kagome, you should be proud of yourself. And hell, you can stop worrying about pushing out the baby when you already handled that fucking thing!”

“You really want me to ‘s’ you when you’re standing over that hole?”

“You wouldn’t!!”

Zayne - Collapse of Multiple Deepspaces

Time to drop another #delulu for Zayne! It’s my first time writing about Zayne and all “thanks” to my friend all my ideas recently stem from *tragedy*.

So yeah sorry Zayne boi, you’re first!

I hope you enjoy this version!

What happens if Zayne and Dawnbreaker meet each other....

Collapse of Multiple Deepspaces

"You are no different from a weakling."

This phrase had echoed relentlessly within Zayne ever since he witnessed his friend transform into a Wanderer right before his very eyes.

If others were given a chance to judge, they would tell Zayne that his hesitation or fear, his inability to act, was entirely natural; no one could stand firm in such a dire circumstance.

To witness someone you know slowly morph into a beast and then have to end their life with your own hands? Who in their right mind would willingly undertake such a horrifying act?

But Zayne knew that the "shadow" that disdainfully uttered those words of criticism through its scornful gaze was no longer a normal person.

******************************************************

How long had it been since Zayne last felt this rush of anticipation, as if he were about to enter a battle?

Before him were blood-red eyes that forced Zayne to instinctively channel energy from his right arm as a defense mechanism.

It was this very power that had been the source of many of his tragedies.

But compared to the shadow standing right in front of him, Zayne could sense that the pain he had endured was nothing compared to the anguish reflected in those judging eyes.

Though shrouded by the night, Zayne recognized the person before him, for the power surrounding that figure was familiar to him. It was the power of ice—the same power he wielded.

In other words, the person before him might be none other than himself.

It was as if he were the embodiment of the Grim Reaper he had always feared.

Zayne also realized that the person in front of him not only possessed his own aura but also harbored an unpredictable emotion he couldn't quite grasp.

This emotion was like a drop of poison, ready to overflow at the slightest disturbance, spreading its lethal intent throughout the icy energy. It was this realization that helped Zayne recognize that the figure before him and he were separate entities. He would never allow himself to be consumed by such murderous intent. He was a doctor, committed to saving lives, not taking them. This was his life's principle and the oath he had sworn to uphold.

Yet, the eerie resemblance between them conjured images of two opposing reflections in a mirror, similar yet different, creating a sense of dual existence. If one of these images were to vanish one day, what would happen to the remaining one? Would it also dissolve, mirroring the original?

**********************************************************

While Zayne was observing the shadow, it was silently scrutinizing Zayne in return.

A weaker version, blessed with a life he craved.

Is this yet another part of the dream? But if it is a dream, then why is she not here?

Could even the fleeting dream of being with her be interrupted and dissipate like this?

Or perhaps…

*********************************************************

As Zayne pondered the bizarre occurrence before him in the dark space, he sensed a shift in the atmosphere between them.

A sudden, piercingly cold wind enveloped him, as if trying to freeze his entire being.

This chilling gust, like a raging beast, seemed determined to devour him whole, mirroring the fury of its creator.

Why had the shadow suddenly become so enraged?

Before Zayne could react, crystalline shards of ice hidden within the snowstorm hurtled toward him, catching him off guard.

The surging murderous intent warned Zayne of imminent danger, compelling him to instinctively unleash his own energy.

A formidable ice wall sprang up, separating Zayne from the lethal ice shards.

Yet, the relentless assault and overwhelming malevolence forced Zayne to retreat.

He panted heavily, striving to regain control over his chaotic emotions and energy. Why had the shadow, just moments ago in a state of observation, suddenly sought to end him?

This remained a mystery to Zayne, causing his hesitation to strike back.

Perhaps the gentle world he had come to know had softened his heart, infusing his decisions with the compassion and magnanimity expected of a doctor. But facing the figure before him, such ideals held no meaning.

Clearly, in this struggle for supremacy, in terms of both resolve and strength, Zayne was losing.

As the blizzard engulfed him, with icy spears closing in from all sides, Zayne realized the figure before him wielded far more power than he had imagined.

Arrows of ice began to pierce through his ice wall, embedding themselves in his body, inflicting excruciating pain and a chilling wind that froze him to the core. The agony was so intense it felt as though a curse had been cast upon him, rendering him immobile and leaving him at the mercy of the storm.

This sensation… why does it feel so familiar…

As Zayne struggled to rise, the shadow approached, revealing a familiar face.

The Grim Reaper… the Grim Reaper Zayne had seen before… the one who had look at him with an implication that he was merely a weakling.

With the same face, the same demeanor, the samepower, Zayne saw his own reflection in those blood-red eyes.

Is this… really himself?

Before Zayne could process his shock, the Grim Reaper moved closer, looking down at him with disdain:

“In the end, you are just a useless fool, incapable of protecting the one thing you were fortunate enough to have.”

These words felt like a curse, tightening Zayne’s heart in agony. He knew what his one lucky possession was, for he had felt this same heartache in his dreams countless times: the pain of not having her by his side…

Could it be…

Before Zayne could grapple with the implication, a shard of ice materialized in the Grim Reaper's hand. Its purpose was clear.

But what stunned Zayne more than the imminent threat was the Grim Reaper’s next words:

“If you are now useless, then it’s my turn to protect her.”

*************************************

“Zayne… Zayne!!”

Zayne jolted awake at the familiar call.

He sat up, gasping for breath, his body drenched in sweat as if he had just escaped a horrifying ordeal.

Fear clung to him, but a gentle touch on his back, mirroring his racing heartbeat, offered solace.

Looking up, Zayne’s eyes met the worried gaze of a familiar, tender face.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a glow on you and making you appear angelic, which had greatly soothed Zayne as though he were in heaven after wandering in endless darkness.

Unable to contain himself, Zayne pulled your close, seeking your comforting warmth. Only then, with your voice laced with concern, did his surroundings come into focus. The familiar scent of medicine, not the metallic tang of blood, filled the air.

A lingering sense of malevolent energy persisted, a stark reminder of the dream's icy grip. He touched his neck, the phantom pain of the ice shard a chilling echo. Dream or reality?

As he began to lose himself in his thoughts again, a warm touch on his cheek grounded him.

“Are you okay? Why do you keep zoning out? Did you sneak sweets before bed again, making it hard to breathe and sweat so much?”

Like sunlight dispelling the cold, Zayne's heart began to calm. Perhaps it was just exhaustion, a figment of his overworked mind. He clung to this hope, desperate to ease her worry.

Zayne looked at her lovingly, then embraced her once more, yearning to hold onto the warmth only she could provide.

“Thanks for being by my side.”

*****************************

“Zayne, promise me you won’t try to bear everything alone or make decisions by yourself, okay? Always tell me first.”

Seeing her cheerful yet concerned expression, like an old lady fussing over him, made Zayne chuckle—a rare sound for him.

Perhaps the dream was merely a manifestation of his fear, a fear of someday regretting his own "weakness." But what truly defined this weakness? Was it the lack of courage to destroy what could harm her, even if that meant it had once bear the form of a… human?

As Zayne began to drift back into his thoughts, the alarm on her hunter’s watch went off, accompanied by a warning:

“Alert… alert… Wanderer monsters detected… Level A… coordinates X Y… please evacuate residents from the danger zone.”

Both Zayne and you knew what needed to be done in such situations.

As he instructed you on the tasks and cautions for your mission, a rift opened before Zayne, followed by a Wanderer bearing a striking resemblance to…

William…

In an instant, as Zayne stood frozen, the Wanderer lunged, swinging a deadly scythe-like arm at him.

William… is it really you?

Zayne felt his heart stop, memories from that day flooding back.

At Mount Eternal… where the secret he wished to bury lay… where he had once been weak… William… I’m so sorry… turns out, even now… I’m still useless…

“ZAYNEEEEEEE!”

A piercing scream echoed as Zayne snapped back to reality. Before him lay the image of her, shielding him with her body. Blood spurted from her back, splattering across Zayne’s face.

In his arms was the girl he loved, falling.

The blood on his hands was warm…

But this…

Was not the warmth he wanted to feel…

In a heartbeat, everything around Zayne was swallowed by an endless night.

A night filled with murderous intent…

And amidst this darkness lay a path, lined with the bodies of countless fallen.

Zayne didn’t want to tread this path, but it seemed fate had already chosen it for him.

A voice echoed within him, as if from a distant past…

“If the law is a curse… why perfect it… just… destroy it all…”

That's right... destroy everything... only then can I... protect you...

Like a skeleton approaching its tomb, Zayne walked heavily past the rows of piled corpses, heading straight into the endless darkness. And at the end of the road, what Zayne saw was the throne with its many icy blades.

Zayne saw another figure resembling him dressed in an ancient sorcerer's garb... as if he had been sitting there for a long time... just waiting...

Waiting....

"For that daisy..."

As if echoing his heart, the voice of the Grim Reaper opposite him, now replacing the figure holding the staff, sat on the ice throne.

So who was who? He himself no longer knew and no longer cared. Because at this moment, he knew that he and the figures before him had only one thing in common, and that commonality was what all his beings cared about and wanted to have.

You... the daisy we've always sought...

In the quiet night, the cold voice of the Grim Reaper rang out like a warning bell:

"You... are the exception, because only you can have her."

Zayne understood what the Grim Reaper had said.

He sank weakly to the floor, realizing how lucky he was but also how powerless.

"But... you too... are the weakest..."

He knew... he knew... he was weak.

"So... if you can't become strong..."

Before his words could end, Zayne’s chin was grasped, forcing him to face the blood-red eyes right in front of him.

"If you can't do it, then it's my turn. There's no room for the weak."

****************************************

The blaring sirens of rescue vehicles… the screams of the townspeople… only you… seemed to be lying still… in firm arms…

You tried to get up but were held back by those strong arms, preventing any movement.

It seemed that the wound on your back no longer pained you, only a soothing, cool sensation remained.

It looked like Zayne had tended to your injury.

You knew what you had done was dangerous, and you would surely be scolded by him, but you still felt warm inside knowing he was safe….

These past days, seeing his exhaustion, you wanted to do something. But the more you looked at him, the more unsure you were of what to do, as if he was fighting a battle within himself, silently enduring.

That was when you saw him in danger, and you immediately shielded him without a second thought, just to spare him from more pain.

Thankfully… he was unharmed…

As you nestled in Zayne’s embrace, you couldn’t shake off a strange feeling, an unnamed sensation, like you had felt it long ago when you looked into his eyes…. as if… you were seeing a different Zayne…

While lost in thought, Zayne’s hand reached out to touch your cheek.

Fearing he would reprimand you for acting impulsively, you scrambled for excuses in your mind, avoiding his gaze to escape his scolding.

But when you met his eyes, you knew…

Without giving you time to think, the unfamiliar man who resembled Zayne looked at you and smiled, sending a chill through your body.

“Nice to see you again.”

Yes, when I said "help me concentrate on studying" I meant "clean your gun threateningly while you watch over me so i know my only choices are study or die"
