MINOR AND AGELESS BLOGS DNI. Masterlist

The village was silent. Too silent. Not the eerie hush of a place where people slept, nor the somber quiet of a mourning home, but the absolute absence of life. The kind of silence that only follows death.

You knew before you stepped past the crumbling torii gate that your pay had been stolen from you.

The air smelled of blood. Thick, metallic, and cloying, it clung to your skin as you stepped through the ruins of what was once a grand estate. Red lanterns hung askew, their paper bodies torn and stained, still flickering with dying light. The cobblestone courtyard was slick with fresh carnage, and the walls, once pristine, were now painted in crimson streaks. Corpses lay where they had fallen—guards, servants, and the nobles who had once ruled this place.

Your employer, a pitiful man with too much wealth and not enough sense, lay among them. His eyes, frozen in horror, reflected the flickering torch light from the shattered lanterns around him. His throat had been torn out, the wound jagged and messy, as if done in passing, without care.

You clicked your tongue.

No payment, then.

Annoyance flickered through you, but it was distant, dulled. All that effort. Days of tracking. Weeks of maneuvering through the shadows, making kills in silence, setting the stage for a perfect strike—gone. The man you were meant to collect your pay from, dead.

You had lived too long in the shadows to expect fairness. You killed for money, nothing more, and you had learned long ago that the world owed you nothing.

Born of human and curse, you had been despised from the moment you took your first breath. Your mother had made a mistake, and you had been the consequence—a child too human to be a true curse, too monstrous to be accepted by men. They had feared you, hated you, tried to kill you before you were even strong enough to fight back. But you survived.

You always survived.

Your extra limbs had been a curse in your youth, proof of your inhumanity, but they became your greatest weapon as you grew. Strength, speed, precision—six hands worked better than two. And when you learned to hide them, to pull them close and pass as something almost normal, the world became your hunting ground.

Assassination had been the obvious choice. No morals, no allegiances, only the cold certainty of coin. You did not care who died, only that they did.

But now, your target was already dead, and yet you gain nothing. And there was only one man who could be responsible.

A shadow moved within the ruined estate. Slow, unhurried footsteps, the deliberate kind that spoke of confidence, of amusement. Someone who had never once feared death, because they had never needed to.

You turned your head slightly, just enough to acknowledge his presence without giving the satisfaction of immediate attention.

Sukuna Ryoumen.

A demon. A calamity in human form. His legend reached your ears long before this day—stories of the King of Curses who razed villages for sport, who devoured men whole, who fought gods and won. You’d always found such tales exaggerated. No one could be that monstrous. No one could be that untouchable.

But seeing him now, standing amid the ruin of his own making, you had to admit the stories had barely done him justice.

He was taller than any man you had ever seen, broad and thick with muscle, with skin inked in cursed markings that coiled around his arms, chest, and throat. Four arms—an anomaly, an abomination, yet he carried them as if they were his birthright. The left side of his face was something not meant for mortal eyes, warped and grinning with unnatural delight. Blood dripped from his claws, pooling at his feet as if the earth itself bled for him.

He turned, sensing you. And when his four burning eyes met yours, something twisted in your chest. A deep, primal instinct screamed at you to run. But fear was not something you entertained.

Instead, you sighed. Loudly. Dramatically.

“Well, there goes my payment,” you muttered. “What a waste of time.”

His crimson eyes found yours, and you felt it immediately—the weight of his attention, the way his gaze lingered, as if trying to place you.

"Another rat," he murmured, voice low, edged with amusement. "I thought I was done with you vermin tonight."

You smiled. Not a kind smile. Not a warm one. A slow, knowing curl of the lips, the sort that had sent men to their graves in fits of paranoia, wondering if they had just met their end before your blade ever touched them.

"If you were," you said, "I wouldn't be here."

A flicker of something crossed his face—amusement, curiosity, something sharper underneath. Interesting.

Most people quaked at the mere mention of his name. They fell to their knees, begged, pleaded, cried. The ones with a sliver of backbone tried to fight and died screaming for it. But you? You were calm. Unshaken. Unimpressed.

He took a step forward, tilting his head slightly. His presence was suffocating, heavy in the air like a storm waiting to break. "And who might you be, boy?"

You glanced down at the bodies strewn around you, at your employer's lifeless face, the blood soaking into the dirt. "Someone who was supposed to get paid tonight."

A chuckle. Low, rumbling. "Ah. And now you won’t."

You shrugged. "No."

"And what do you plan to do about it?"

You met his gaze and held it. "Haven’t decided yet."

The truth was, you had decided. From the moment you saw the carnage, from the moment you realized who had caused it, you knew there was only one path forward. Sukuna had wasted your time. Had stolen your prize. It wasn’t about money anymore—it was about principle. Sort of, not really.

You did not let things go unanswered. And neither did he, you imagined.

The silence stretched between you, thick with unspoken words, unreadable thoughts. And then, slowly, ever so slowly, Sukuna grinned.

"You’re not afraid of me," he said. It wasn’t a question.

You exhaled, long and slow. "Should I be?"

His grin widened, sharp and wicked. "Yes."

For the first time in a long, long while, something stirred in your chest. Not fear. Not anger. Something that made your fingers twitch with anticipation.

Your heart beat steady, unfazed. You took a step forward, just enough to challenge, just enough to provoke. His grin didn’t falter. If anything, he looked pleased.

"You’ve killed my employer," you said. "So now, I suppose I’ll have to settle for a different prize instead."

Sukuna's laughter rang through the night, rich and full, the sound of a man who had not been entertained like this in centuries.

"And what would that be?" he grinned, blood coating his teeth before he licked it off. 

“Your head.”

The first strike was fast. Not fast enough to be unexpected, but fast. A blade aimed for his throat, smooth and silent. Sukuna leaned back just enough for it to miss, feeling the edge of it whisper against his skin. No hesitation, no wasted movement. This wasn’t some arrogant fool swinging wildly—this was a trained killer, someone who knew how to strike to end a fight, not prolong it.

Sukuna’s grin widened. Good.

His own arm shot forward, one of four, grabbing at your wrist. He expected resistance, a twist to break free, maybe a counter—what he didn’t expect was for the stranger to step into his grip, moving with him instead of against him, using the momentum to spin a dagger toward his ribs.

Clever. Sukuna barely avoided the stab, using a second hand to shove him back. He was enjoying this. A rarity.

Sukuna grinned, clearly enjoying himself. “You’re quick.”

You smirked. “You’re slow.”

That wiped the grin off his face—a scowl replacing it. Then, he lunged.

His elbow slammed toward your ribs, but you twisted, feeling the heat of his skin just barely graze yours before you ducked low, shifting your weight to avoid the claws swiping at your throat. You countered with a kick, aiming for his knee, but he caught your ankle mid-strike, twisting your leg to throw you off balance.

You didn’t fight it. You let him pull you off your feet—because as he did, his grip loosened, and that was all you needed. You bent at the last second, twisting unnaturally in the air, and slammed your palm against the side of his head as you used the momentum to break free. Sukuna staggered back half a step. Just half a step.

But you saw it. His eyes gleamed in the dim light, his sharp grin curling wider. “Not bad.”

“I know,” you said easily. And then he hit you.

The pain of the stab hit your entire body like a death knell, making you hiss in pain. You felt the bones beneath your skin break, felt the heat of torn flesh, but it didn’t matter. Because it put you exactly where you wanted to be. You grinned, lips parting just enough to whisper, “Got you.”

It wasn’t the first time you’d been struck in this fight, and it wouldn’t be the last.

His hand shot into your ribs, raw power ripping through your flesh and organs like paper. But instead of pulling away—like anyone with common sense would—you leaned forward.

Sukuna’s eyes widened, the briefest flicker of surprise.

You dropped your blade before using your first pair of hands to grab Sukuna’s arm and pulling it into you, until his hand went through you, blood coated his hand as it emerged from your back. Right before your extra limbs surged from their hiding place, bursting forth in a blur of motion. The additional arms wrapped around him, slamming into his flesh with the precision of a predator finally sinking its claws into its prey.

You felt flesh tear beneath your fingers, watched as his blood splattered against the ground. It was like two rabid dogs, two survivors, ripping each other apart by their necks. A perfect pair, no?

He snarled, not in pain, but in exhilaration. You could see it—the raw thrill in his expression, the unhinged excitement of someone who had finally found a fight worth having. But you didn’t let up.

You pressed forward, extra limbs moving in perfect harmony with your own, a seamless blend of attack and defense. You were faster now, stronger, your movements unhindered by the usual limitations of human anatomy.

Sukuna adapted quickly. He fought like a beast, like a demon given flesh, and yet there was intelligence in his strikes, a predator’s cunning in the way he shifted.

Blow after blow, you clashed. The estate around you had long since faded from thought. There was only this moment, this fight, this exhilarating, intoxicating rush of battle.

Until finally—

His attacks met your defenses, his strikes clashed against yours, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, you reached an impasse.

Neither of you could land a fatal blow.

The taste of blood lingered in the air, thick and heady, as Sukuna rolled his shoulders. His wounds were already knitting back together, flesh stitching itself back into place with unnatural ease. It had been a long time since he’d bled like this—longer still since anyone had managed to hold their ground against him.

And yet, despite the thrill of the fight, his amusement had started to wane.

He clicked his tongue, shaking off the blood from his fingers before turning on his heel, stepping over the ruined bodies that littered the ground. The estate was nothing but a corpse-strewn ruin now, silent save for the crackling of fires still burning in the distance.

"Annoying," he muttered under his breath, not bothering to glance back at you.

You hadn't died, which was already irritating enough. But beyond that, you had the nerve to grin at him, to tease him mid-fight like this was all some kind of game. The sheer audacity. He exhaled sharply, already deciding it wasn’t worth his time anymore.

"I'll kill you next time," he called over his shoulder, his tone almost lazy, as if this was a mere promise rather than a threat.

And then he walked away. That should have been the end of it. It wasn't. Because not even a few steps later, he heard something that made his brow twitch.

Footsteps. Light, almost soundless. But they were there. Following him.

He stopped.

The footsteps stopped.

He resumed.

The footsteps resumed.

Sukuna’s jaw tightened.

Slowly, deliberately, he turned his head just enough to catch sight of you out of the corner of his crimson eyes. There you were, walking at a perfectly casual pace, the first pair of arms behind your head as the other two pairs were tucked into your yukata, as if you hadn’t just been fighting him to the death minutes ago.

Annoying. That was what you were.

Not impressive. Not worthy. Just a nuisance who had managed to worm his way past his usual boredom, wriggling there like a splinter he couldn’t quite dig out. Yeah, that was it. Definitely. (not)

He stared. You smiled. Multiple pairs of eyes blinking right back at each other.

His fingers twitched. Then, without a word, he swung a fist toward your face.

You tilted your head—not even hurriedly, just a small, effortless shift—and his strike missed by the barest margin, passing through empty air. Your smile grew impossibly wider, eyes crinkling.

His eyes twitched.

He tried again. A quick, sharp jab toward your ribs. Blocked. You blinked as an almost imperceptible shield ebbed around you, reacting to Sukuna’s punch.

"You done?" you finally asked, tilting your head at him.

Sukuna hated how unbothered you looked. He hated how naive you looked, he hated how much you two were alike.

His teeth ground together. His irritation swelled. So he struck again. And again. Each attack was dodged or softened before it could land, and through it all, you didn’t stop smiling.

"Quit dodging, bastard."

"Then stop trying to hit me."

Sukuna let out a low growl, his patience officially gone. His hands blurred in rapid succession—right hook, left jab, a strike from his lower set of arms, followed by a quick kick—each one aimed to throw you off, to catch you when you least expected it.

And yet, every single strike either missed or failed to deal any real damage.

You grinned. "This is fun."

"It is NOT." Sukuna bit out. This was ridiculous.

He had carved through entire armies, crushed the strongest warriors, slaughtered men like they were insects beneath his heel. And yet, here he was, brawling with you in the middle of a dirt road like some petty street fight—and losing, if only in terms of patience.

At this point, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to kill you or just throw you into a river and see if you floated. He stopped abruptly, his shoulders rising and falling with controlled breaths. "Fine."

You tilted your head. "Fine?"

He exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand down his face. "Do whatever the hell you want. Just—stop talking." Your grin widened.

Sukuna grumbled something incomprehensible under his breath and resumed walking, pretending you weren’t there. But he knew you were.

And somehow, despite everything—despite the irritation bubbling beneath his skin, despite the exhaustion creeping at the edges of his mind—he found himself almost entertained. Almost.

The wind was sharp tonight, cutting through the trees like a whisper of ghosts. It carried the scent of blood and frost, mingling in the crisp Heian air, yet despite the eerie quiet of the frozen village behind them, the warmth of the crackling fire in front of them made the night feel almost… peaceful. Almost.

A child, barely more than a wisp of a thing, pale as the frost that still clung stubbornly to their clothes. Silent, observant, and eerily composed for someone their age, considering the way Sukuna and you had found them—crouching in the center of an entire village turned to ice, their expression as blank as the frozen corpses surrounding them.

Most children would have screamed. Ran. Cried for their parents. But not this one, not as if they had any more parents to run to.

No, they had simply blinked up at the two of you, completely unaffected by your presence—the two most dangerous men in the Heian era standing before them, drenched in the remnants of battle, destruction lingering in the air around you like a storm.

Sukuna, ever the skeptic, had initially deemed them useful only for their abilities. "Would keep the meat from spoiling," he had muttered with a smirk, clearly pleased with the idea of a walking icebox. But you? You had seen it immediately—the spark of something familiar in Uraume’s gaze, the way they looked at you both like… like you weren’t monsters. This kid was just like you and Sukuna.

And somehow, against all logic, against the natural order of things, the two of you had kept it. Uraume, it told you its name.

A ‘demon’. A half-curse. And a child who had slaughtered an entire village without meaning to. Sounds like a start to a very, very bad joke.

Somehow, it was… oddly domestic.

At first, Uraume had been quiet, following orders with a cold efficiency that reminded you of yourself when you were younger. It wasn’t surprising—survival demanded obedience. They had likely learned that early on.

But, as time passed, something shifted.

They clung to you when Sukuna got too loud, hiding behind your back when he roared in frustration at something trivial. They sat beside you at night, close enough to steal warmth, but never quite touching. They watched the two of you bicker with the quiet amusement of a child who understood far more than they let on.

And then, one evening, they called you “Father.”

You had choked on your food. 

The Heian Era was a golden age—for the strong. For those who could carve their existence into the bones of the weak, who could leave a trail of ruin in their wake and call it a legacy.

And for you, for Sukuna, for your little Uraume—it was nothing short of a playground.

The village burned behind you, flames licking at the sky, thick black smoke curling like a dying beast’s final breath. The air was heavy with the stench of charred flesh, metallic with the scent of fresh blood. Corpses littered the ground, torn apart, their bodies split open in jagged, grotesque displays of what had once been human. Some still twitched, struggling to hold on to the last vestiges of life. A mistake.

You stepped over a writhing man, his guts spilling from the gaping wound in his stomach, his trembling fingers trying in vain to push them back in. The look in his eyes—desperation, horror, confusion—was intoxicating. He hadn’t even seen the strike that felled him. He hadn’t even realized he was already dead.

"Pathetic," Sukuna scoffed, his voice thick with amusement as he leaned on a collapsing pillar, watching the dying man like one might watch an ant struggling underfoot. "You’d think after hearing the screams, they’d run. But no. They stay, they pray, they beg." He rolled his eyes, red gleaming in the firelight. "Like insects waiting to be crushed."

Uraume crouched beside the man, tilting their head as they observed the way he trembled, the way blood bubbled from his lips. "He’s still alive," they noted, voice devoid of sympathy.

You met Sukuna’s gaze, a slow, knowing smile tugging at your lips.

Uraume didn’t hesitate.

"Then fix that."

The ice formed instantly, blooming from their fingertips like a creeping frost, delicate and beautiful in the way it spread across the man's skin. He gasped, choked, his body convulsing as the ice crawled over his throat, sealing his lips shut, freezing the blood in his veins. Within seconds, he was motionless—an intricate, crystalline statue, forever locked in the throes of his last, pitiful moment.

"Good," You hummed, patting Uraume’s head with the same affection one might give a favored pet. "Quick. Efficient. You’re learning!"

Uraume beamed, a glint of pride flickering in their cold eyes.

And then the slaughter continued.

You moved like a specter, slipping through the shadows, striking where the light could not reach. They never saw you coming. You were the whisper of death against their ear, the last thing they felt before their world went dark. Blood spattered across your skin, warm and slick, soaking into your clothes.

Sukuna was chaos incarnate, tearing through bodies with the same ease one might rip through parchment. Limbs flew, heads rolled, entrails spilled like ribbons unfurling from a torn gift. He laughed, gods, he laughed, the sound of it low and rich, a song of bloodlust and madness.

And Uraume—oh, they were the perfect student.

"Not like that," you chastised like a mother, stepping behind them as they struggled to drive their icy blade into a flailing woman’s throat. "You’re hesitating. Don’t. Hesitation makes you weak."

Uraume nodded, adjusting their grip. You guided their hand with a firm but gentle claw, twisting the blade at just the right angle before pressing down. The woman gurgled, her body seizing before falling limp, her blood spilling in thick waves over the dirt.

"There, much better, no?" You beamed, wiping a stray droplet of blood from Uraume’s cheek with your thumb.

Sukuna watched, arms folded, a smirk playing at his lips. "Sweet," he mocked, voice dripping with amusement. "Teaching them so gently. You’d make such a kind parent."

You shot him a look over your shoulder, sharp and knowing. 

The dance of death continued, bodies falling like leaves in a storm. You killed when Sukuna told you to, and Uraume followed suit, obedient and precise. But Sukuna too—he killed for you. If an enemy managed to get too close, if a blade even dared to graze your skin, they were erased. Their screams barely had time to leave their lips before they were torn apart.

You were exactly where you belonged.

meanboyfriend!toji fucking his innocent virgin girlfriend :3

your ruffled lace socks are on either side of his head as he rolls his hips against your plush ass, thick cock stretching you past your limits. he looks down at your soft belly, eyes gleaming with amusement as he watches the way his cock bulges through it. "am i too big for ya' baby?" he coos, there's so much mock softness in his voice it’s almost sickening, stroking your cheek with the back of his hand like he actually gives a damn. "i can see myself inside of ya'."

a choked whimper is all you can manage to respond with, your fingers dig into his muscular arms as he leans over you to steady himself on top of you, caging you in beneath his heavy body. you squeeze your eyes shut as you feel his fat cock sinking itself deeper from the new position, splitting you open and it burns. the stretch forces a high, broken whine from your throat, your walls fluttering helplessly around him.

clinging to his strong arms, your eyes flick nervously to the plushies lined up on your shelf—those innocent little stuffed animals with their glossy plastic eyes all pointed your way. they’re watching.

it makes your face burn hotter.

toji notices. of course he does.

“what is it, princess?” he teases, slowing his thrusts just enough to draw your attention back to the deep ache between your legs. “your little friends seein’ you get fucked for the first time?”

you squeeze your eyes shut, hiding your face in his arm. “d-don’t look at them…” you mumble, humiliated.

he laughs, a low, breathy sound, and leans down to press a kiss to your temple. “you’re so fuckin’ cute.”

then he shifts, hips snapping forward, forcing another whine from your throat as your gummy walls flutter around him, trying and failing to accommodate all of him.

toji clicks his tongue, leaning down to press a firm kiss to your damp forehead. "does it hurt, baby?"

"n-no... keep going." you huff softly, biting your lip.

you're a mess beneath him, cheeks flushed, sweat sheening your skin, hair sticking to your forehead in damp strands. your lips are kiss-swollen, puffy from the way he's been biting at them. your tits bounce with every sharp thrust, every punishing grind of his hips, pulling ragged cries from your throat.

he knew it was your first time, and he'd actually debated wether he'd be sweet to you, do that cheesy romantic shit he hated, whisper pretty words and take it slow—play the role of the perfect boyfriend only for tonight. or if he should fuck you hard, that would he fuck you so good, so deep, until then only word you could babble was his name. now that he's inside of you, it's starting to feel like a mix of both.

grunting, he hooks his arm under your back and lifts you off of your bed, hugging you against his chest tightly as if you weigh nothing. your arms wrap around his neck, legs locking tight around his waist as he keeps bulling his cock into you, hitting your cervix so hard you swear he's gonna break you.

his breath his hot against your face as he inhales your sweet perfume sharply, furrowing his brows as he keeps fucking you until you start going limp in his arms.

“i’ll love you forever, you hear me?” his voice is rough, almost strained.

a weak, breathless “yeah.” is all you can say.

but toji smirks, knowing you'll remember this for the rest of your life.

He’s never been jealous before.

Not once in his entire life. Not when his classmates paired off in high school, not when his friends bragged about their conquests in college, not when some girl he fucked once or twice found someone else to warm her bed.

Because why the fuck would he? He’s Gojo Satoru.

There is no competition.

But then there’s you.

And there’s Ryōmen Sukuna—the leather-clad, cigarette-smoking, law-breaking bastard who somehow got his claws into you first.

Sukuna, with his wolfish grin and blood-stained knuckles, who does whatever the fuck he wants whenever the fuck he wants, dragging you along for the ride. He treats you like you’re his little doll, something to dress up and fuck rough and parade around like a prize, and you—

You love him.

It drives Gojo fucking insane.

Not that you notice, oblivious little thing. Always so focused on whatever book you’re burying your nose in, sitting pretty in class, and looking like you don’t belong anywhere near someone like Sukuna. Like you belong somewhere safe. Somewhere quiet.

Somewhere with him.

It’s not that Gojo wants you in any particular way. That’s what he tells himself. He just hates seeing you wasted on someone like Sukuna. You’re too intelligent to be following around a fucking brute. Too soft to be caught up in that bastard’s world.

He tells himself that’s all it is. That the slow burn under his skin whenever he sees Sukuna wrap a hand around your throat is nothing but disdain. That he doesn’t think about it, not really, when he watches you leave campus on the back of Sukuna’s bike, gripping onto him like your life depends on it.

And then one day, it happens.

You walk into class with bruises on your thighs. A few peeking out beneath your skirt, just barely visible when you shift in your seat. Sukuna’s marks, no doubt. The realization slams into him like a freight train.

You let that bastard fuck you raw last night.

And Gojo feels something new. Something ugly. Something that tastes like fire and blood and mine.

And it only gets worse. Because you’re happy.

You sit there, twirling a pen between your fingers, a small, barely-there smile tugging at your lips. And for the first time, Gojo wants to ruin you.

You don’t get to smile like that over another man.

Not when he’s right here.

So, he waits.

Because Gojo is patient. He can bide his time. He can play his game. You don’t even realize what you are to him yet, what you’ve always been. But you will.

It starts with little things. The way he blocks your path in the hallway, leaning down close to murmur something about how pretty you look today. The way his fingers brush over yours when he hands you a paper, lingering just a second too long.

The way he talks about Sukuna.

“Can’t believe you’re still with that asshole,” he says one day, watching you pack your bag after class.

You don’t even look up. “Don’t talk about him like that.”

His grin is sharp. “Like what? Like he’s a thug who treats you like a fucking accessory?”

You glare at him. He loves the fire in your eyes. Loves how defensive you get. “You don’t know anything about us.”

“I know enough.”

“And I don’t care.”

You snap your bag shut and move to brush past him, but he catches your wrist. It’s the first time he’s ever touched you with intent, and he can feel the pulse beneath your skin jump. Can see the way your breath hitches, just for a second.

It makes him want to tear you apart.

“Don’t be like that, sweetheart,” he murmurs, voice low. Intimate. “I’m just looking out for you.”

You yank your hand away. “Stay the fuck out of my business, Gojo.”

He watches you walk away, the heat from your skin still lingering on his fingertips.

Oh, sweetheart.

You don’t get it, do you?

You are his business.

And he’s only just getting started.

✦✧✦✧

It starts with a drink.

Sugary, sickly sweet, laced with something invisible to the eye but potent enough to make your limbs go loose, your breath slow, your thoughts grow thick and sluggish. You barely register the way he watches you as you take another sip, tongue peeking out to swipe the remnants of syrup from your lips, a movement that makes his fingers twitch around his own glass.

"Atta girl," Gojo murmurs, a slow smirk spreading across his face. "See? I knew you could have a little fun."

You blink up at him, confusion flickering in your gaze, but it doesn’t last. The drug is already sinking its claws into your nervous system, dulling your instincts, numbing your resistance. You sway, and before you can even think to catch yourself, he does it for you. Hands smooth, deceptively gentle, gripping your waist like he’s been waiting for this exact moment.

"Oops," he chuckles, breath warm against your temple as he steadies you. "Looks like you need some help, sweetheart. Good thing I’m here."

You try to push him away, but it’s useless. Your limbs don’t listen, fingers barely managing a weak grasp against the fabric of his hoodie before slipping away. Panic flutters in your chest, but even that feels distant, like you’re experiencing it through layers of cotton. You know something’s wrong. You know this isn’t right.

But Gojo is already moving, already sweeping you up in his arms like you weigh nothing, already carrying you somewhere quiet, somewhere away from prying eyes.

Somewhere Sukuna won’t find you.

✦✧✦✧

The first thing you notice when consciousness fights its way back is the smell of sugar.

The second is the weight pinning you down.

Something sticky smears across your stomach, a mess of syrup and melting cream dripping between your thighs, coating your skin in a way that makes your stomach churn. The sheets beneath you are ruined, stained with streaks of something viscous, something pink, something white.

Something sweet.

And then there’s him.

Gojo is above you, one knee pressing between your legs, forcing them apart. His glasses are gone, his eyes bare, sharp and hungry, filled with something terrifying and possessive and hot. His hands are coated in the same sickly mess, fingers smearing remnants of some dessert along your inner thighs, his thumb dragging along your folds in a slow, lazy stroke.

"Knew you’d look good like this," he muses, tilting his head as he watches you try—try—to move, to resist. "Covered in sugar, begging to be tasted."

Your mouth opens, but nothing comes out beyond a soft, broken noise. You feel like you’re drowning, every nerve slow to respond, every movement sluggish. He notices, of course he does, and his smirk deepens.

"Don’t worry," he coos, fingers dipping lower, pressing, pushing, spreading. "You don’t have to do anything. Just lay there and take it like a good girl."

"Gojo—"

"Mm, nah," he muses. "Think I like it better when you call me Satoru."

Your breath comes fast, ragged. You can’t think, can’t breathe past the lingering fog in your brain. "What—what the fuck are you doing?"

He laughs. Actually laughs.

"Sweetheart," he murmurs, leaning down until his breath fans over your lips, the scent of sugar thick between you. "What do you think?"

And then he kisses you.

It’s slow, deep. His tongue parts your lips effortlessly, sliding past them to taste the remnants of chocolate he forced down your throat. He groans against your mouth like you’re the sweetest thing he’s ever tasted, like he’s been starving for this, for you.

You try to turn away, but he fists a hand in your hair, tugging you back into place. "Nah, baby. Don’t be like that. You’ve been teasing me for months." He nips at your bottom lip, sharp enough to sting. "Time to take responsibility."

You barely have time to gasp before he’s shifting, yanking your camisole down to expose your breasts. The cold air makes you shudder, but the heat of his mouth replaces it instantly, lips closing around your nipple as he groans, sucking deep.

"Fuck," he mumbles against your skin. "Taste even better than I imagined."

Tears sting at your eyes. "Please—"

"Oh, we’re getting to that part," he says brightly, grinning up at you with sugar-slick lips. "Begging already? Cute."

His hands roam lower, hiking up your skirt, fingers slipping beneath your panties. He finds you dry—of course you are, this is sick, this is wrong—but he only hums, unfazed.

"Don't worry, baby. I got somethin' for that."

You hear the crinkle of plastic before you feel it. Something cold presses against your clit, sticky and thick, and then he's rubbing it in, spreading the sweetness over your skin. The scent hits you immediately—strawberry syrup.

"Told you I had a sweet tooth," he murmurs, before dipping his head down and licking a long, slow stripe up your slit.

You choke on a sob, body jerking against the silk restraints, but he just presses you down harder, pinning you in place as he feasts.

Your body jerks as he sinks in, one digit first, then another, twisting and stretching as something wet and humiliating drips between your thighs, mixing with the syrup and cream. You want to fight. You want to scream. But all you can do is whimper, your limbs useless against his weight, your body betraying you in the worst way.

It doesn’t take long for your body to betray you. The drugs still lingering in your system make everything hazy, pleasure and disgust blurring at the edges. He moans when he feels you getting wet, tongue pushing deeper, lapping up the mess he made.

You’re shaking when he finally pulls back, lips and chin glistening. He licks them clean, eyes half-lidded with something almost like reverence.

"Fuck, look at that," he breathes, eyes locked on the way you shudder, the way your walls clench around his fingers despite yourself. "See? I told you. You were always meant for me."

The camera clicks.

Your stomach drops.

Your head lolls to the side, and there it is—his phone, propped up, recording everything. Every sound, every movement, every twitch of your body beneath him. Gojo leans in, his breath hot against your ear, his fingers still moving, still fucking into you in slow, deliberate strokes.

"You know, sweetheart," he murmurs, nipping at your jaw, "I think Sukuna should see what you look like when you’re with a real man."

Terror crashes over you like a tidal wave.

"He thinks he owns you, but he doesn’t. Not like I do." His tongue flicks out, dragging along the shell of your ear. "Not like I will."

And then he’s pushing inside you, tearing you apart, stretching you too much, too full, too deep, his weight pressing you down, trapping you beneath him as he starts to move, each thrust dragging a broken, unwilling noise from your throat.

You scream—or try to. But it only comes out as a choked gasp as he snaps his hips forward, splitting you open with several deep thrusts.

"Fuck, you're tight." His voice is rough, strained. "Like a fuckin' vice, baby. Gonna ruin you."

He means it. He pounds into you like he’s got something to prove, like he needs to brand himself into your skin. He keeps the phone steady the entire time, angling it to capture every detail—the tears streaking your cheeks, the way your breasts bounce with each brutal thrust, the raw stretch of your cunt around his cock.

"Bet Sukuna thought he had you all to himself," he pants, biting at your throat hard enough to leave a mark. "Bet he thought you were his."

He fucks you harder.

"He’s wrong, baby." His teeth scrape against your ear. "You’re mine."

✦✧✦✧

And worst of all—you can’t stop him from filming every second of it.

Hours later, when your body is sore and wrecked and trembling, when your voice is hoarse from crying, when your skin is marked and ruined with his touch—

The video sends with a simple press of his finger.

A message attached.

Your little doll looks better in my hands.

And then Gojo grins, licking the last traces of sugar from his lips.

"Sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted."

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐫! 𝐒𝐮𝐤𝐮𝐧𝐚 ✦✧✦✧

There wasn’t a single soul on the block who didn’t know the name Ryōmen Sukuna.

The man was a legend. Or a menace, depending on who you asked.

With ink crawling up his neck, silver piercings glinting under streetlights, and a cigarette dangling lazily from his lips, he had the kind of presence that choked the air out of a room. Sukuna didn’t ride a motorcycle; he owned the road. His name was etched into asphalt, into the bones of men who had crossed him, into the terrified whispers of those too weak to hold his gaze. He didn’t do relationships, didn’t believe in love, and certainly didn’t give a damn about anyone other than himself.

Until you.

You weren’t supposed to be here.

This world—his world—was a warzone of fists and gasoline, of blood and engine oil smeared into pavement. You didn’t belong anywhere near it. But somehow, some way, you had stumbled into the orbit of the devil himself, and instead of burning, you had stayed. You were a contradiction, the kind that pissed him off because he couldn’t figure you out. Small, quiet, way too smart for your own good. You never reacted to his taunts the way others did. He’d call you names, push your buttons, just to see how you’d crack—only for you to blink up at him like he was nothing but white noise.

He should have crushed you. Broken you down into something small and trembling. That was what he did to people who didn’t know their place.

But you had this strange habit.

You cared.

Not for him—fuck no, you weren’t that stupid—but for things that had no business surviving in a place like this.

Stray cats. Limping dogs. That one scrawny little brat who hung around his nephew, Yuji.

It started with the kid. Some dumb punk, maybe thirteen at most, all gangly arms and scraped knees. Sukuna hadn’t given him a second glance—wasn’t his fucking problem—but then he saw you crouched in front of the boy, voice soft, brows furrowed in concern as you pressed a bandage over a wound that wasn’t your responsibility.

“Hold still,” you had murmured, not even sparing Sukuna a glance as you focused on the boy’s bleeding hand. “You’re blessed it’s not deep.”

The kid had blushed like a damn idiot. Sukuna almost ripped him off the curb right then and there.

But the worst part? That was only the beginning.

Because it wasn’t just one kid.

It was all of them.

Yuji. His quietly sassy friend, Megumi. That bratty girl with the sharp tongue, Nobara. Stray kids, teens with nowhere to go, the ones no one gave a shit about—you had a soft spot for all of them, and Sukuna hated it. Hated how easily they flocked to you, hated how you spoke to them like they mattered, hated how you let them steal bits and pieces of your attention that should have belonged to him.

Hated that he cared at all.

✦✧✦✧

It came to a head one night at the shop.

The garage reeked of oil and cigarette smoke, engines grumbling as Sukuna’s boys worked on their bikes. The door was open, summer air thick with the scent of asphalt. He was leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching you talk to Yuji and his little band of idiots.

His nephew was grinning, the usual dumb, wide-eyed expression on his face as he listened to whatever you were saying. Megumi looked mildly disinterested, but he was paying attention in that brooding, quiet way of his. Even Nobara, brat that she was, had softened, hanging onto your words with an expression Sukuna didn’t like.

They looked at you like you were something holy.

And you? You let them.

A muscle in his jaw ticked. His cigarette burned low between his fingers, the embers crackling like a warning.

“Oi.”

You turned, blinking up at him. There was no fear in your gaze—there never was—but he saw the way you stiffened, the way your fingers curled slightly at your sides, bracing for whatever storm he was about to bring down. The kids went quiet. Yuji’s smile faltered.

Sukuna flicked his cigarette to the ground, crushing it under his boot.

“You got a fucking job here, or are you running a damn daycare?”

You exhaled slowly, but you didn’t flinch. “They’re just hanging out.”

“They’re a fucking distraction.”

“They’re kids.”

Something sharp crawled up his spine. He took a slow step forward, crowding into your space, forcing you to tilt your chin up to meet his eyes. “They ain’t your fucking responsibility.”

Your gaze flickered—just a flicker, but he caught it. A crack in that perfectly composed exterior. And fuck, he hated that he noticed, hated that he wanted to peel you open and see what made you tick.

“They’re not yours either,” you murmured, voice even.

His lips curled. “You sure about that?”

You said nothing.

He scoffed, stepping back. “Get back to work.”

The kids scattered, taking the hint. But Sukuna didn’t move, didn’t take his eyes off you as you finally turned away. He should have been satisfied. He should have let it go.

But he wasn’t. And he didn’t.

Because as much as he hated it—

He wasn’t the only thing you gave a damn about.

And that? That pissed him off more than anything else.

✦✧✦✧

The heat of the garage clung to your skin, thick with the scent of gasoline, metal, and the faintest tinge of nicotine. The rumbling laughter of Sukuna’s crew faded as you stepped inside, the weight of his gaze already sinking its claws into your spine. You barely had time to register the shift in the air before a rough hand clamped around your wrist, yanking you past the workbenches, past the half-built motorcycles, straight into the dimly lit back room.

The door slammed. The lock clicked.

A slow, dragging inhale came from behind you, the burn of cigarette smoke laced with something darker, heavier. "You got a fucking death wish, sweetheart?" Sukuna’s voice slithered down your spine, low and sharp.

Your pulse stuttered, but you didn’t shrink. You knew better. Showing fear only made him worse.

"I don't know what you—"

"Don’t fucking play with me. That little shit outside—the one sniffing around you like a damn dog. You like that? You like letting these punks think they got a shot?" He was behind you now, heat bleeding through your clothes as he loomed close. His fingers grazed your neck, featherlight. "'Cause I don’t fucking share."

Your breath caught. "He's just a kid."

"Bullshit."

Fingers curled in your hair, yanking your head back, forcing your gaze up to the ceiling. The stretch burned, your scalp prickling where he held you in his grip. He wasn’t gentle. He never was.

"I see the way they look at you. The way you let them. Walking around here like you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. What kind of fucked-up game are you playing, huh?"

You swallowed. "I’m not playing anything."

"Then why the fuck are you shaking?" Sukuna’s lips ghosted against the shell of your ear, his breath scalding. "Not so tough now, are you?"

A sharp pull dragged you backward, your body colliding against his chest. His grip shifted, fingers closing around your throat—not squeezing, not yet, just holding. A warning. A promise.

"Tell me to stop." His voice was velvet wrapped around barbed wire. "Go on. Say it."

Your nails dug into his wrist. Your body locked up. The air between you crackled, an electric storm of defiance and something far more dangerous.

You didn't say a word.

His chuckle was a slow, lethal thing. "That’s what I fucking thought."

The world spun as he shoved you forward, your palms smacking against the cold surface of the metal workbench. You barely had time to catch yourself before he was on you, his body caging yours, heat radiating off him like fire licking at your skin.

"You wanna act like a fucking tease? Letting those little shits think they got a chance?" He ripped at your waistband, the rough fabric of your jeans dragging against your hips as he wrenched them down. "Fine. Let’s see how much you like attention when it’s mine."

A choked sound caught in your throat, your fingers scrambling against the metal as his hand pressed down between your shoulder blades, forcing you flat against the workbench. Cold steel bit against your stomach, a stark contrast to the feverish heat of his body.

"Sukuna—"

A sharp slap across your ass made you jolt. "You don’t get to fucking talk."

Another strike, harder this time. Your breath left you in a shuddering gasp, humiliation curling in your gut. He was reveling in this—the way your body responded, the way you couldn’t stop it.

"See, this is the problem with you," he mused, dragging his fingers along the curve of your ass, down to where you were embarrassingly slick. "You walk around here, thinking you’re untouchable. Like you’re better than all of us. But look at you now. Bent over my fucking workbench. Dripping."

You squeezed your eyes shut, heat burning through you. "Fuck you."

His laughter was dark, razor-sharp. "Oh, you will."

The sound of his belt unbuckling sent a fresh wave of dread slamming into you. Your stomach twisted. You tried to push up, to scramble away, but his hand pinned you down, fingers tightening around your throat. Not enough to cut off your air. Just enough to remind you who was in control.

He leaned in, lips brushing the shell of your ear. "You're mine, sweetheart. Every fucking inch of you."

The blunt press of his cock against your entrance made you freeze, your breath catching as the reality of the situation crashed over you. This was happening. There was no stopping it.

Sukuna didn’t wait. Didn’t ease in, didn’t let you adjust. He was cruel, relentless, pushing in deep with a low, guttural groan that sent a violent shudder ripping through you. The stretch burned, every inch forcing your body to accommodate him, to take him whether you wanted to or not.

"Fuck, you feel good like this," he rasped, his grip bruising as he held you still, his hips snapping forward in sharp, punishing thrusts. "So tight. Bet none of those little shits could ever fill you like this. Bet you wouldn't let them."

Your nails clawed at the metal, your body trembling as he fucked into you with a brutal, single-minded focus. There was no tenderness here, no gentleness. Just raw, unchecked possession, his jealousy bleeding into every vicious snap of his hips.

"Gonna ruin you, sweetheart. Make sure every time you fucking walk, you remember who did this to you. Who you belong to."

The worst part?

Somewhere in the haze of pain and shame, a tiny, treacherous part of you believed him.

His pace quickened, his breathing ragged against your ear. "Tell me," he growled, his fingers tightening around your throat, dragging you upright so your back was flush against his chest. "Tell me who fucking owns you."

You clenched your teeth, refusing.

He let out a dark chuckle, his free hand dipping between your thighs, rubbing tight circles against your clit. "C'mon, sweetheart. Say it. Or I swear, I won’t let you fucking come."

Your body betrayed you. The pleasure coiled, white-hot and unbearable, the cruel rhythm of his fingers forcing you closer and closer to the edge. Your breaths turned ragged, your body trembling.

"Say it," he snarled.

You bit down on a whimper, your pride warring with the overwhelming sensation that threatened to consume you.

His teeth scraped against your throat. "Last chance, baby."

The coil snapped.

Your body convulsed, pleasure tearing through you with brutal intensity, and the word slipped past your lips before you could stop it.

"You."

His groan was raw, triumphant. "Damn right."

His pace turned erratic, his thrusts growing rougher, deeper. His grip on your throat tightened, his other hand branding your hip as he chased his own release, his body tensing before he buried himself deep with a shuddering groan, claiming you in the most primal way possible.

The room spun.

The only sound was your ragged breathing, the slow, languid drag of Sukuna's fingers over your skin as he pulled back, tucking himself away like nothing had happened.

Like he hadn't just shattered you.

Like he hadn't just marked you as his.

A rough hand gripped your chin, tilting your face up. His eyes burned into yours, dark and possessive.

"Next time," he murmured, his thumb dragging over your lower lip, "you remember who the fuck you belong to."

And just like that, he was gone, leaving you slumped against the workbench, wrecked and ruined, with his name carved into your very bones.

And the worst part?

You knew this was only the beginning.

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫! 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟-𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧! 𝐑𝐞𝐱 𝐋𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬 ✦✧✦✧

There was a time when you were obedient.

That was the only way he had ever known you—an intelligent woman with sharp wit but the necessary restraint to respect his word. You were raised well, crafted under the precise structure of discipline he so generously offered. His lectures, his lessons, his expectations—what you were, what you knew, what you excelled in—were all by his design. Your education, your intelligence, your success belonged to him.

And now, you're ruining yourself.

He does not react, not at first. That has never been his way.

As the professor of history, a strict and authoritative figure, he does not succumb to the petty whims of lesser men. Rex Lapis has lived countless lives in countless forms; he has ruled, destroyed, built, and endured. He has been the father of nations, the warlord of centuries, the god of unbreakable contracts. Mortal pleasures are fleeting distractions.

And yet—

He sees you, his precious, obedient girl, transformed into something unrecognizable. You used to listen. You used to lower your gaze in his presence, used to nod obediently when he assigned you readings, used to hang onto every word like scripture. You used to understand your place.

Now? Now you dress yourself in sin.

Short skirts, tight blouses, jewelry that catches the light like bait. Your nails are manicured like talons, your lips glossed, your scent laced with something wickedly sweet.

You smile at men. You let them touch your wrist, your shoulder, your waist. You let them speak to you, let them lean too close, let them believe—foolishly—that they could ever deserve your attention. And worse than that? You encourage it.

He watches as you laugh at some dull, brainless boy’s attempt at wit. Watches as you tilt your head, watches as you slide your fingers along your own exposed throat in a thoughtless, meaningless gesture, something unconscious, something only an observer as keen as himself would ever notice.

A lure. A trap.

Rex Lapis was never meant to feel the things he does now. A god does not succumb to the venom of jealousy. But when he sees you flirting, your body language betraying every sharp, calculating game you play—he knows you’re not just naive. You’re choosing this.

You’re choosing to act out, choosing to defy him. And he will not allow it.

✦✧✦✧

The first time he speaks to you about it, it is a warning.

“Sit.” His voice is measured, controlled. The very sound of it, low and commanding, makes the air in his office still.

You hesitate, and that hesitation alone sparks something primal in him, something he does not allow himself to feel.

“Now.”

You sit.

His office is quiet, save for the rhythmic ticking of the antique clock on his desk. You fold your arms, cross your legs, and regard him with feigned innocence.

“Do you think I don’t see what you’re doing?”

You blink, and he knows you’re considering your answer. A lesser man would be fooled by your performance.

“I don’t know what you mean, Professor.”

Lies.

His fingers tap against the desk in a slow, deliberate cadence. “Your grades have not faltered. Your academic standing remains pristine. And yet, your behavior has… changed.”

You lean back, entirely too confident. “Is that a problem?”

His jaw tightens. You smile. You’re goading him. He knows it, and yet, that knowledge does not lessen his ire.

“You’re dressing like a slut.”

You don’t even flinch. Instead, your lips curl, as if amused. “And?”

Rex Lapis has never been a man to act on impulse. His control is absolute, honed through centuries of war and diplomacy. And yet—

You are testing him. Deliberately. Consciously.

Why? What changed? What made you so reckless, so insubordinate, so eager to provoke him?

He leans forward, his golden eyes locking onto yours.

“You are an intelligent woman.” His voice is smooth, sharp as a blade. “You are capable, cunning, and perceptive. So tell me, little one—why are you acting like a cheap, brainless whore?”

Your breath catches, just slightly.

And there it is.

The subtle break in your performance, the flicker of something beneath your confident facade.

But you recover too quickly, tilting your head in mock curiosity. “Oh? You disapprove?”

A taunt.

The heat in his veins surges. Rex Lapis is not a man who allows disrespect. His patience is legendary, his composure unshakable—but the moment you choose to play this game, to behave as though his word, his presence, his influence no longer holds dominion over you—

Something inside him shifts. He lets the silence stretch. Lets the weight of his presence, the gravity of his authority, press against you.

“You will cease this behavior.”

You laugh. It is a quiet, dangerous thing.

“Or what?”

His grip tightens against the desk. There it is—the line you have drawn, the challenge you have issued. You are waiting, watching, daring him to prove that he still holds control over you.

And Rex Lapis? He is not a man who tolerates defiance.

You have made a grave mistake, little one.

He will not be ignored. He will not be disrespected.

And most of all—

He will not allow you to forget who you belong to.

You realize your mistake too late.

The door slams shut behind you, locking the two of you inside his office. The sound is final, inescapable, ringing in your ears like the toll of a death knell.

Your breath hitches. A lifetime of instinct screams at you to run, to escape, to do anything but remain under the weight of his unrelenting gaze. But you don’t move. Not because you don’t want to—but because his presence roots you in place.

Rex Lapis—Professor Zhongli—does not look human in this moment.

His golden eyes are slitted like a predator’s, his sharp features even sharper in the dim glow of the antique lamps lining his office. His long fingers press against the heavy mahogany desk, tightening just enough that you hear the creak of wood under his strength. His posture is composed, still, the control of a man—a god—who has never known jealousy until you forced it into his veins like poison.

He was never meant to feel this way.

And now, you will suffer for it.

Your back hits the wall before you can even think of fleeing.

A sharp gasp leaves your lips as he is suddenly there, his presence overwhelming, too much, pressing against you like a force of nature. His large body cages you in, his scent wrapping around you like an inescapable fog—amber, sandalwood, dragon’s breath.

"You think this is a game?" His voice is quiet, but no less terrifying.

His fingers slide along your jaw, tilting your chin up. His touch is deceptively gentle—but there is a dark promise behind it, a warning that should send you to your knees in terror.

You try to shake your head, try to deny, but his thumb presses against your lips, silencing you.

"Do you know what you have done, little one?" You swallow hard.

"You—" Your voice breaks. "—are my professor."

He chuckles. A deep, dark, humorless sound.

"I was never just your professor." And then he's kissing you—if you can even call it that.

His lips crash against yours, brutal, consuming. His large hands seize your waist, yanking you against his unyielding body. There is no tenderness, no softness—only raw possession, only a claim being forcibly carved into your flesh.

Your fists slam against his chest, a pathetic attempt to push him away. He doesn’t budge. He doesn’t even acknowledge your resistance.

"You wear the scent of another man." His breath is hot against your ear, his voice dripping with venom. "Tell me, did you think of me when you let him touch you?"

You try to speak, try to deny, but it’s useless.

His grip tightens. "I should tear you apart for this."

And then he does. Fabric rips.

A sharp gasp tears from your lips as he shreds your blouse like it’s made of paper, leaving your exposed skin to the mercy of the cool air. You barely have time to process it before his hands are on you again—searing, possessive, everywhere.

"Pathetic," he sneers, fingers bruising your waist. "All this effort to make yourself desirable. Do you think it gives you power? Do you think batting your lashes makes men weak?"

You cry out as he yanks you forward, bending you face-first against his desk. His large hand presses against your back, keeping you in place as his other hand rips away the remainder of your clothing—until you are bare, exposed, completely at his mercy.

"You are nothing without my approval."

You tremble, "You— You can't—"

But you already know the truth. He can. He will.

Something presses against your entrance—thick, inhumanly thick. Your breath falters, a sob choking in your throat. The sheer size of it is impossible, terrifying.

"You will take it." He gives you no choice.

Your scream is muffled by the wooden surface of his desk as he buries himself inside you in one devastating thrust. Your walls stretch, burn, struggling to accommodate the sheer, monstrous girth of him. It feels impossible, like he’s splitting you apart, too much, too much—

"Hah… still so tight."

His voice is ragged, strained, but there is no mercy in his movements. He pulls back only to slam back in, forcing your body to take every punishing inch of him.

"Struggling?" His chuckle is cruel, mocking. "How quickly you forget—I made you. You exist to serve me."

Your fingers claw against the desk, desperate for purchase, desperate for relief. But there is none. There is only the merciless pace he sets, each thrust harder, deeper, forcing the air from your lungs.

He grabs your hair, yanking your head back. "No more games, little one. You will remember your place—beneath me. Belonging to me."

Tears slip down your cheeks. He thrusts, forcing a shattered moan from your throat. And he laughs. A dark, guttural sound—victory.

"That’s it… you feel it now, don’t you?" His hips snap against yours, filling you too deep, stretching you too wide. "No other man will ever satisfy you now. No one else will ever reach this far."

Your mind is breaking, slipping into a haze of overstimulation, of helplessness.

And he knows it.

He leans down, his lips brushing your ear. "Say it."

You shake your head, refusing—

He thrusts deeper.

A broken scream rips from your throat.

"Say it. Admit it."

Your body is betraying you, pleasure writhing through your veins despite the pain, despite the degradation. You are losing. You are his.

"You…" Your voice is weak, trembling, a ghost of resistance—

His claws dig into your waist, his hips snapping harder.

"Say it."

And finally—

A whisper, choked, shattering:

"I— I belong to you."

A satisfied growl rumbles in his chest.

And then—

The knot swells.

Your eyes widen, realization slamming into you too late.

"No—!"

But he doesn’t stop. He forces his knot inside you, locking you in place, keeping you stretched around his massive length. Your body convulses, a scream wrenched from your lips as the overwhelming sensation breaks you.

And then—

Heat floods your core.

His release bursts inside you, filling you too much, too deep, spilling into every crevice of your body. You shake, panting, spent, ruined. His arms wrap around you, holding you there, keeping you trapped against him.

And then, a whisper against your temple—

"Now you will never forget."

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥! 𝐀𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 ✦✧✦✧

He has never been jealous before. Never needed to be.

Emotions were nothing more than mild inconveniences—obstacles that lesser men allowed to cloud their judgment. He prided himself on his logic, his detachment, his unshakable rationality. There was no need for frivolous distractions like lust, love, or petty human possessiveness.

And yet. You have proven to be an exception. An aberration. A crack in his carefully curated world of control.

You.

The same sharp-tongued, insufferably intelligent girl who has been a constant thorn in his side since your first year at the university. You, who challenged his theories, defied his logic, and matched his wit blow for blow. A perfect foil, an exquisite rival—one he should have discarded as nothing more than another intellectual adversary.

But you were never just an adversary, were you? Not to him.

He watched you. He studied you. He cataloged every detail of your existence with the same precision he applied to his research. He knew the cadence of your voice when you argued, the way your lips curled when you called him an asshole, the way your hands trembled when he leaned too close during debates.

And yet, despite all his meticulous observations, despite all his efforts to remain detached, you still managed to slip through his defenses and plant something insidious inside him. Something irrational. Something dangerous.

Something he didn't recognize until he walked into the campus library and saw you sitting across from Arataki Itto.

The brute. The fool. The brain-dead delinquent who barely scraped by on assignments.

You were tutoring him. Your head tilted as you explained a concept, your expression patient. The same patience you had never once afforded him.

That should have been enough to irritate him. Enough to make him scoff and walk away, dismissing you as a fool wasting your time on someone so beneath you.

But then Itto laughed. Loud and carefree, like he had every right to bask in your attention. And then—then he saw the way Itto looked at you.

Like you belonged to him.

A noise he didn’t recognize slipped past his lips, something low and guttural, something wrong. His fingers twitched, and for the first time in his life, his own thoughts were incomprehensible—disjointed, a mess of static and white-hot noise.

You noticed him then, your gaze flickering up in that way that always made his breath hitch, the way you always felt him before you saw him.

“Hey, asshole,” you greeted flatly. “Need something?”

Yes. You.

His eyes darkened. His jaw clenched. “We’re leaving.”

You blinked, expression turning annoyed. “Excuse me?”

He didn’t acknowledge you. Didn’t even spare a glance at Itto—he wasn’t worth it. His hand wrapped around your wrist, his grip tight, final.

“Now.”

✦✧✦✧

He doesn’t speak as he drags you to the apartment you both unfortunately share, his grip unrelenting, his pace unforgiving.

You’re seething. Your protests are sharp, livid, but you might as well be screaming into the void. His mind is already made up.

The moment the door slams shut, his patience snaps.

He pushes you up against it, one hand gripping your chin, tilting your face up to meet his gaze. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice?” he murmurs, voice quiet—too quiet. A stark contrast to the unhinged glint in his eyes. “Did you think I’d tolerate it?”

You glare. “You’re insane.”

He hums. “That’s not an answer.”

You try to push him off, but he catches your wrists, pinning them above your head. His breath is hot against your ear, his voice dropping into something nearly affectionate.

“You’re mine.”

It’s not a declaration of love. It’s a fact. An irrefutable, undeniable truth.

Your body stiffens. “I’m not—”

His lips brush the shell of your ear. “Say it again.”

Your stomach twists.

“I-I’m not yours—”

The moment you refuse him, his grip tightens just enough to make your breath hitch. His laugh lingers, low and vibrating against your skin like a terrible promise. "Wrong answer," he murmurs again, savoring the way your pulse quickens beneath his fingertips.

You barely have time to struggle before he hauls you deeper into the apartment—past the living room, past his bedroom, straight toward the one door you’ve never been allowed to open. His private sanctum. His domain.

The sex dungeon.

A sharp click of a lock disengaging, and the heavy door swings open. The sight within is both horrifying and meticulous. Leather, steel, chains—everything gleaming under dim, ambient lighting, arranged with the kind of obsessive precision he dedicates to his research. It is clinical. Cold. And yet, it pulses with something raw and violent.

Your stomach twists. “You—you fucking psychopath—”

He doesn’t respond. He simply pulls you inside and lets the door shut behind him. The finality of it is suffocating.

The first thing you feel is the cold bite of metal as he fastens a collar around your throat—tight, unyielding. He takes his time, securing each buckle with slow, deliberate movements, drinking in the way your body shudders beneath him.

"You always fight," he muses, brushing his lips against the shell of your ear. "That’s what makes this fun. But let’s see how much fight you have when I break you."

The bindings come next—your wrists locked above you, pulled taut by an overhead chain. Then your ankles, strapped apart with a spreader bar, leaving you exposed, vulnerable. The way he looks at you then—like a prized specimen under a microscope—makes your skin prickle with equal parts rage and something else you refuse to name.

"Do you even understand what you’ve done?" he asks, tilting your chin up to meet his gaze. "Do you know what it felt like to see you with him? Laughing, indulging him like he had the right to breathe the same air as you?"

You grit your teeth. "He’s my friend, you controlling freak."

His expression darkens. "Friend?"

His hand strikes your thigh, the sharp sting making you jolt. He watches the way your breath stutters, the way your body instinctively reacts. His smirk is knowing.

"That was a warning," he says. "The real punishment starts now."

What follows is merciless. A methodical deconstruction of your resistance. He tests your limits with cruel efficiency—flogger, riding crop, clamps, vibrating toys that push you to the edge only to deny you release. Every gasp, every involuntary twitch is studied, analyzed, exploited.

“You look so pretty like this," he muses, tracing the welt blooming across your thigh. "All this defiance—it’s adorable. But we both know how this ends."

Your body betrays you. Humiliation burns hot in your cheeks, but he revels in it, drinking in every reaction like a man starved. His hands, his voice, his relentless control—it consumes you whole.

By the time he finally takes what he wants, you are too wrecked to fight. His possession is absolute, branding itself into your skin, your bones, your very breath.

✦✧✦✧

The first thrust knocks the breath from your lungs.

He doesn't give you time to adjust. He doesn't give you anything except the overwhelming force of his cock slamming into your cunt, the brutal stretch forcing a choked scream from your lips. The chains above rattle as you jolt, wrists tugging at the cruel metal, body writhing against the bonds that keep you helplessly spread open before him.

Alhaitham watches with clinical detachment, like he's studying the way your body reacts, the involuntary tremors, the way your walls clench and struggle to accommodate him. His grip is unyielding, fingers digging bruises into your thighs as he holds you still, his pace punishing. The wet slap of skin against skin echoes in the dimly lit dungeon, each thrust deliberate, methodical, precise.

"You always fight," he muses, voice smooth, cold. "And yet, here you are. Helpless. Spread open for me."

Your breath hitches at the sick pleasure in his tone. It’s not lust—not entirely. There’s something deeper, something darker in the way he drinks in every quiver, every choked sob. He’s reveling in it.

You squeeze your eyes shut, turning your head away, biting down on your lip to suppress the sounds threatening to escape. It’s humiliating. The slick wetness betraying your body, the way he forces pleasure and pain into the same unbearable space. Your defiance only fuels him.

"Still trying to act stubborn?" he scoffs. "Even now?"

A sharp slap lands against your inner thigh, the sting making you jolt. His other hand slides up your stomach, fingers curling around your throat, squeezing—not enough to cut off air, but enough to remind you of his control. His grip tightens just as he angles his hips, hitting that devastating spot inside you that sends white-hot electricity shooting through your nerves.

Your body betrays you.

A strangled moan escapes before you can stop it. He stills.

Then—

He laughs.

It’s low, cruel, dripping with triumph. He leans in, lips brushing the shell of your ear as he murmurs, "There it is. The sound I wanted."

Your nails dig into your palms, the bite of your own restraint almost enough to ground you. Almost. He resumes his pace, faster now, sharper. Every thrust forces a new sound from you, a broken whimper, a stifled gasp. He drinks them in like they’re proof of his victory.

The collar around your neck digs into your skin, tight enough to remind you that you belong to him now. The cuffs securing your wrists creak as you thrash, but there’s nowhere to go, nothing to do except take what he gives. And he gives you everything.

"This," he breathes, voice dark with satisfaction. "This is what happens when you push me. When you let another man think he has a chance with you."

His fingers find your clit. A cruel, slow circle.

"Was he better than me?" His tone is light, mocking. "Did he make you feel like this?"

You hate him.

You hate the way your body responds, the way heat coils low in your stomach, the unbearable tightness building with every stroke. You hate the way he knows, the way he sees through you, the way he never lets you hide. His control is absolute, orchestrating your pleasure and your suffering with the same meticulous precision he dedicates to everything else.

The coil snaps.

Pleasure rips through you violently, too much, too sharp. Your body seizes, back arching, toes curling, a shattered cry breaking free from your lips.

And Alhaitham—

He doesn’t stop.

"Look at you," he breathes. "So desperate. So weak. You break so easily."

You barely hear him through the haze of overstimulation, the unbearable sensitivity as he continues thrusting, fucking you through the aftershocks, prolonging the agony of pleasure turned cruel. Your throat is raw from the sounds you can’t hold back, tears burning hot at the corners of your eyes.

"Good girl," he murmurs, voice smooth, condescending. "Now let’s see how many more times I can make you come before you break completely."

He doesn't stop.

And you are left with no choice but to endure.

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐎𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 ✦✧✦✧

The champagne flute trembles in his hand.

Not enough to draw attention—no, never enough for that. His grasp remains firm, his smile impeccable, his demeanor as polished as the diamond cufflinks at his wrists. But the tremor is there.

He watches you from across the grand ballroom, golden light bathing your delicate frame as you twirl in the arms of your fiancé. Phainon. A man of high status, of prestigious blood. A man your parents deemed worthy of you.

A man who is not him.

Sunday has never felt jealousy before. He doesn’t entertain such base emotions, much less let them control him. He is above such vulgar impulses—always has been. But now, as he watches you tip your chin up at Phainon with that demure little smile, as his gloved hand settles against the bare skin of your lower back, something curdles in Sunday’s chest.

He does not move immediately. He takes his time, swirling the golden liquid in his glass as he sips, assessing. Analyzing. He is nothing if not meticulous.

His sister, Robin, tugs at his sleeve playfully. “You’re awfully stiff, brother. You look like you’ve swallowed something foul.”

His eyes flicker to her. She is beaming, utterly oblivious. Sweet, innocent Robin, who has never needed to question the things he keeps from her.

“You approve of this match?” he asks smoothly, voice betraying nothing.

Robin grins. “Of course! They look perfect together, don’t they?”

Perfect.

Something in his chest twists, tightens. He sets his glass down, offering his sister a small, tight-lipped smile before excusing himself. He does not make a beeline for you immediately—no, that would be foolish. Instead, he moves with grace, lingering along the edges of the crowd, watching, waiting, calculating.

Phainon leans in, whispering something against your ear. You laugh—soft, shy, utterly unlike the way you are with Sunday. You never laugh like that around him. You only look at him with wary, sharp eyes, as if trying to decipher what lurks beneath his poised exterior.

You are so cautious. So careful.

And yet you have failed to consider the most important thing: He is a patient man. But not a merciful one.

Radiant and oblivious, smiling up at your fiancé as he leads you in a slow, poised waltz. Phainon, the golden boy, the heir of another prestigious family. He holds you with the ease of a man who believes he owns you. His gloved hand lingers at the small of your back, fingers curling ever so slightly. It is possessive, almost territorial.

It makes something in Sunday snap.

The realization is an ugly, monstrous thing: You're mine.

Not by blood, not by law. But something deeper, something primal, something that makes his fingers flex around the stem of his wine glass.

She does not belong to another man. Not like this. Not when she has always been his to mold, to shape, to control.

The moment the dance ends, Sunday moves. He is a shadow in the lavish crowd, gliding towards you with unshakable intent. Your eyes widen when he appears, your lips parting slightly as if sensing the shift in the air, the creeping wrongness clinging to him.

"Brother," you greet, voice hesitant.

His smile is kind, affectionate. A perfect deception. "May I steal the bride for a dance?"

Phainon hesitates, but he is polite. Foolish. He steps back, offering a gentlemanly nod.

Sunday takes your hand. His grip is firm, almost bruising.

"I thought you didn't care for these things," you murmur, trying to read his expression.

"I don't," he replies smoothly, leading you to the center of the ballroom. "But I care about you."

The waltz begins, and you are trapped. Sunday moves with a precision that makes your heart race for all the wrong reasons. He guides you effortlessly, his grip just a touch too tight, his presence suffocatingly close.

"You looked beautiful with him," he muses, voice deceptively soft. "So radiant, so peaceful."

Your throat tightens. "I—"

"I almost believed it. That you could belong to someone else." His fingers dig into your waist, his breath warm against your ear. "But you wouldn't do that to me, would you?"

The dance slows, the air thick with something unspoken, something suffocating. Your heartbeat hammers against your ribs.

"Sunday, let go."

His smile remains, but his grip tightens. "Not yet."

His free hand glides down your back, tracing the dip of your spine through the thin fabric of your gown. It is too much, too intimate.

"You're trembling," he notes, voice almost amused.

The waltz ends, but he does not release you. Instead, he guides you away from the ballroom, seamlessly slipping through corridors unseen.

You struggle. "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere private. We have much to discuss."

Your pulse is frantic. "Let go."

He doesn't.

✦✧✦✧

The first thing you notice when you awaken is the cold.

The second is the sensation of silk, smooth and cool against your bare skin.

Your breath hitches. You try to move, only to find your wrists bound above your head, your legs spread apart by soft, unyielding restraints. Panic blooms in your chest, violent and immediate. Your head whips to the side—and there he is, seated beside the bed, his elegant frame bathed in the dim glow of candlelight.

Sunday.

He does not speak at first. He merely watches you, one leg crossed over the other, the very picture of composed authority. But his eyes—his eyes tell another story.

“Phainon must be disappointed,” he murmurs, tilting his head. “Losing his precious fiancée on the night of their grand celebration.”

Your stomach twists. “Sunday—”

A gloved finger presses against your lips. “Shh. Not so loud, little wife.” He exhales softly, almost as if amused. “Or have you already forgotten your place?”

Your place.

Your mouth goes dry. “You’re insane.”

He hums, trailing his fingers down the length of your jaw. “Am I?” He leans in, breath warm against your cheek. “And yet you let him touch you. Let him hold you.” His voice hardens, sharp as a blade. “Tell me, did you enjoy it?”

You recoil, struggling against the restraints. “Let me go.”

He sighs. “You’re making this difficult.” He reaches for something beside him—a knife, gleaming under the candlelight. Your heart stops.

“You don’t listen,” he murmurs, dragging the flat of the blade against your throat. “I give you everything. And yet you still act as though you belong to someone else.”

He leans down, lips brushing against your ear. “Shall I remind you who owns you, little wife?”

The blade disappears. His hand replaces it, wrapping around your throat with just enough pressure to make you gasp.

Then he kisses you.

It is not gentle. It is not kind. It is a punishment, a claim—a searing, possessive thing that steals the air from your lungs. His other hand drifts down, grasping at your thigh, pushing it further apart.

“You’ve always been so obedient,” he breathes against your lips, pressing his hips against yours. “And yet you disobeyed me tonight.”

A gloved hand trails down the curve of your stomach, slipping between your thighs.

You jerk against the bindings, breath coming in panicked gasps. “Sunday—don’t—”

His fingers stroke, slow, precise. “Do you know what happens to disobedient little wives?”

Your body betrays you. He is cruel, measured—he knows exactly how to unravel you, how to coax the reactions he desires.

“You let him touch you,” he murmurs. “You let him put his hands on what is mine.” His fingers press deeper, his grip on your throat tightening. “Tell me—did you wish it was me instead?”

You shake your head furiously, eyes burning with fury and shame. “I hate you.”

He smiles. “I know.”

His gloved fingers trace absent patterns against your stomach, a featherlight touch that makes you shudder. "You're shaking," he murmurs, almost curious. "Are you afraid?"

Your breath hitches. "Sunday—please—"

"Please?" He exhales a quiet chuckle, his other hand reaching for your face. He cups your cheek with a tenderness so at odds with the sharp glint in his eyes. "You begged him like that too, didn't you?"

The mention of Phainon sends a fresh wave of dread through you.

You shake your head frantically. "No—I didn’t—"

"Liar."

The silk of his gloves drags down your throat, down to your collarbone, teasingly slow as he watches your every reaction with surgical precision.

"It’s cruel of you," he muses. "To make me feel this way. Do you understand what you've done to me?"

His hand slips lower, ghosting over the curve of your breast. Your back arches involuntarily, the restraints biting into your wrists. He watches the reaction, inhales softly, then presses his thumb against your nipple through the thin fabric of his glove.

"You make me ugly," he whispers. "You make me cruel."

You whimper, turning your face away. But his other hand grips your chin, forcing you back to him.

"No, no, little wife. No running away. Not when I’ve finally claimed what’s mine."

His gloved fingers pinch, roll, tease with an agonizing slowness. Heat coils in your belly, shame burning under your skin.

You grit your teeth. "I hate you."

His lashes lower, a delicate flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. Then, suddenly, he moves—leaning in, lips brushing the shell of your ear as his fingers slide lower.

"Such wicked words from such pretty lips," he murmurs, the barest hint of a smile in his voice. "But I don’t believe you. Not when your body sings for me so sweetly."

His hand drifts between your thighs, fingers pressing against the slick heat there. You jolt, thighs instinctively trying to close—but the restraints keep you spread, exposed, helpless.

Sunday clicks his tongue, featherlight strokes parting your folds. "So wet," he notes, voice deceptively gentle. "And yet, you claim to despise me. A contradiction, don't you think?"

He slides a single finger inside you, slow, controlled. You choke on a gasp, body arching as he curls it just so, just enough to make your stomach tighten.

"You’re trembling," he observes, pleased. "Do you remember how you looked at him? That sweet little smile? Did you think I wouldn’t notice? That I wouldn’t care?"

He adds another finger, scissoring them, stretching you open with patient cruelty. Your breath stutters, heat coiling unbearably tight.

"I care," he breathes, pressing a kiss to your throat. "I care so very deeply. More than you could ever comprehend. And yet, you still insist on testing me."

His fingers withdraw, leaving you empty. Before you can protest, he’s undoing his belt, the soft clink echoing in the quiet room.

Your stomach twists in fear—and something else.

Sunday notices. He always notices.

"Look at you," he murmurs, stroking himself with unhurried grace. "Already shaking, and I haven't even begun."

You squeeze your eyes shut. "Please—"

His fingers thread into your hair, jerking your head back. "Look at me."

You do.

His expression is serene, beautiful even. An angel carved from marble. But his eyes burn, his restraint fraying.

"Say it," he orders, voice softer now, coaxing. "Say that you belong to me."

You shake your head, tears spilling down your cheeks.

His grip tightens. "Say it."

His hips press forward, the thick head of his cock nudging against your entrance, teasing, pressing—but not yet giving you the relief you dread and crave in equal measure.

Your pulse hammers against your ribs, breath shallow, body betraying you in the worst way.

"Say it," he breathes, rocking forward just enough to make you whimper.

You choke on a sob. "I—I belong to you."

He exhales softly, pleased, and then, without further warning—he sinks into you.

The stretch is unbearable. He is slow, deliberate, pushing inch by inch, watching your every reaction with rapt fascination.

You cry out, wrists pulling against the bindings as your body struggles to accommodate him. But he only hushes you, stroking your thigh, whispering sweet nothings that do nothing to mask the cruelty of his claim.

"There you go," he soothes. "Taking me so well. Just like you were made for me."

A single thrust, deep and unforgiving, robs you of breath. He doesn’t wait for you to adjust—he sets a punishing rhythm, each snap of his hips forcing sobs from your lips, forcing pleasure into your unwilling nerves.

"Mine," he breathes against your skin. "Always mine."

You don't know how long it lasts. Time becomes meaningless, reduced to the obscene sounds of skin against skin, of your own traitorous cries, of his measured breaths as he claims you over and over.

Your body gives out before your mind does, pleasure crashing over you in a humiliating wave. He watches you unravel, drinks in the sight of you breaking beneath him.

His lips press against your temple, deceptively tender. "Good girl."

And then he ruins you. Again. And again. And again.

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧! 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 ✦✧✦✧

The bar reeks of whiskey, sweat, and desperation. Ain’t nothin’ new. Ain’t nothin’ Boothill ain’t used to. He’s been sittin’ in joints like these since he was old enough to throw a punch, old enough to fuck, old enough to carve his name into the world with blood and bullets.

And yet, tonight, somethin’ gnaws at him deep. A slow-burnin’ rage, coiled tight in his gut like a rattlesnake ready to strike. It ain't the booze or the sorry-ass excuse of a jukebox croonin’ out some sad, forgotten tune. Ain’t the busted floorboards or the smell of stale beer stickin’ to his clothes.

It’s you.

You, sittin’ all sweet and soft, laughin’ at some fucker’s joke like he’s got the right to make you smile. Like he’s got the right to be anywhere near you. And it don’t sit right with him. Don’t sit right with him at all.

Boothill’s watched you grow up in the shadow of his sins. Watched you turn from a wide-eyed innocent little thing, to a woman with a smile that could ruin men. And Lord help him, he knows what kind of world you’re livin’ in. Knows it like the back of his damn hand. Knows what men see when they look at you.

Knows ‘cause he’s one of ‘em.

He’s kept his distance. Fought like hell to keep his hands clean where you’re concerned. But you—

You’re makin’ it real damn hard tonight.

The bastard next to you leans in, whispers somethin’ low, and you—hell, you tilt your head just so, give him that look like you ain't got a care in the world. Like you don’t see Boothill sittin’ across the room, eyes cuttin’ through the dim light, fixin’ to murder a man where he stands.

He ain’t never been jealous. Ain’t never had reason to be. But tonight, he knows what it feels like. Feels it in the tightness of his jaw, the way his fists curl ‘round the neck of his beer bottle, white-knuckled and near crackin’ the damn glass. Feels it in the way his blood runs hot, his cock half-hard just from watchin’ you toy with another man like he ain’t sittin’ right there, like you ain’t been his since the moment you took your first breath.

And then that bastard touches you.

Fingers draggin’ slow over the inside of your wrist. Familiar. Too damn familiar.

Boothill’s on his feet before he even registers movin’. One second, the fucker’s grinnin’ like he’s just won the damn lottery, the next, his face is meetin’ the table with a sickening crack. The room goes silent, all eyes on Boothill as he presses the bastard down harder, watches the blood trickle from his busted nose.

“Git,” Boothill spits, voice like gravel. Ain’t loud. Ain’t a need for it to be. It’s the kinda command men listen to.

The bastard don’t argue. Don’t even look back as he stumbles out the door, one hand clamped over his face.

Then it’s just you and him.

You’re starin’ at him, wide-eyed, breath caught somewhere between shock and somethin’ else. Somethin’ that makes his cock throb against the seam of his jeans, makes his hands twitch at his sides, itchin’ to grab hold of you and make sure you never pull some shit like this again.

You done fucked up, darlin’.

And you’re about to learn just what that means.

✦✧✦✧

Boothill ain't never been a good man. Ain’t never claimed to be. Grew up mean and wild, fists first, questions never. Ain’t had no mama worth a damn, just a father who taught him that the world don’t give a shit ‘bout weakness. Taught him how to fight, how to fuck, how to take what’s his and never let go.

Then came you.

A mistake, some might say. A product of a night he barely remembers, a woman whose name he don’t give a damn about.

But when he first saw you—so small, so damn helpless—somethin’ inside him shifted. Weren’t love. Weren’t nothin’ soft. Just a realization.

You were his.

And Boothill don’t let go of what’s his.

Raised you the only way he knew how. Taught you to shoot, to stand your ground, to never let no man take what ain’t his to take. Kept you close, closer than he should’ve. Closer than was right. But you never questioned it, never pulled away, just looked up at him with those big eyes like he hung the damn moon.

But you ain’t a little girl no more.

And tonight? Tonight’s proof you need a reminder of who you belong to.

✦✧✦✧

The truck’s cabin smelled like whiskey and smoke, thick with the scent of leather and old blood. The weight of his glare pressed against your back, heavier than the boot he propped on the dash, rattling the empty beer cans that littered the floor. The neon lights of the bar you’d just stepped out of still flickered behind you, casting slashes of color against his weathered face.

He hadn’t spoken since dragging you from that dive, his fingers leaving bruises around your wrist. Boothill never got jealous. Not once in your life had he ever reacted to the men you flirted with. You’d spent years pushing, provoking, knowing how much he hated seeing you giggle at some dumb bastard’s joke. But tonight was different.

Tonight, he snapped.

You felt it the moment his fingers dug into your skin, dragging you through the lot like you weighed nothing. Felt it when he threw you against the side of his rusted-out truck, the door creaking open with the force of his shove. The cold leather of the seat bit into the backs of your thighs as he climbed in after you, slamming the door so hard the frame shook.

The silence crackled like static between you.

“You real proud of yourself, sugar?” His voice was slow, syrupy-thick, the drawl edged with something rough. His cowboy hat sat low, shadowing his gaze, but you could feel the weight of it, feel it tracking every twitch of your breath.

You didn’t answer. You never did. That was part of the game.

His nostrils flared as he exhaled, the scent of cigarettes and bourbon hot against your skin. “Ain’t gonna say nothin’?”

Your lips barely parted before his hand was on your throat, squeezing just enough to steal your air. Your pulse hammered against his palm, and your fingers clawed at his wrist, useless against the solid heat of him.

“Nah, you ain’t got to,” he muttered, leaning in until his lips nearly brushed yours. “I get it, baby girl. You think you’re real smart. Think you can fuck with me.” His grip tightened, his breath heavy against your cheek. “But you just made the biggest fuckin’ mistake of your life.”

He released you so suddenly you gasped, your hands flying to your neck as you sucked in desperate lungfuls of air. Your victory was short-lived. Before you could shift, before you could scramble for the handle, he had you flat on your back, his massive frame caging you against the cracked leather seat. His knee wedged between your thighs, prying them apart, while his fingers snapped the buttons of your blouse one by one.

“Lettin’ some little shit put his hands on you,” he hissed, his teeth grazing your ear as he wrenched your top open. “Let him think he could touch what’s mine.”

Your breath hitched, your body thrashing as his hands moved lower, tearing through the fragile fabric of your skirt like it was paper. His calloused palm pressed flat against your stomach, pinning you in place as he loomed over you, eyes dark with something primal, something possessive.

“You think this is funny?” he snarled. “Think I won’t fuckin’ ruin you for that?”

You barely managed to shake your head before his belt unbuckled, the metallic jingle swallowed by the low rumble of his growl. His cock was already hard, thick and pulsing against your trembling thigh. The realization sent a fresh wave of panic through you, your nails biting into his forearm as you struggled.

He only laughed.

“Oh, sugar,” he drawled, voice thick with condescension. “You picked the wrong fuckin’ man to piss off.”

His hand gripped your hips, dragging you down the seat, positioning you exactly where he wanted. The truck’s frame creaked as he pressed closer, the heat of him branding your skin even through the layers he hadn’t torn away yet.

His fingers traced the curve of your jaw, almost gentle, before tangling in your hair and yanking your head back. His lips ghosted over your throat, lingering at your pulse point, relishing the frantic flutter.

“Gonna fuck you right here, baby girl,” he murmured. “Right where any bastard passin’ by can see.”

Your stomach lurched, shame burning hot in your chest. He wouldn’t. He wouldn’t.

Except he would.

The first push stole the air from your lungs. He was too thick, too big, stretching you open with no warning, no mercy. Your nails scrabbled against his chest, your body arching, trying to escape the overwhelming intrusion.

“Fuckin’ tight,” he groaned, voice ragged. “Knew you’d be. Knew no worthless piece of shit’s ever been where I am.”

Tears burned your eyes, a choked whimper slipping past your lips. He only grinned, his grip tightening, keeping you exactly where he wanted as he pushed deeper, filling you until there was no space left between your bodies.

“That’s it,” he rasped. “Take it, baby. Take your daddy’s cock.”

Your stomach twisted, revulsion and humiliation warring with the relentless sensation of him inside you. Your body betrayed you, slick growing against your will, easing his brutal thrusts as he set a punishing pace.

“Fuck, shit,” he gritted out, his cowboy hat tipping back as he rolled his hips, dragging every inch of himself against your unwilling walls. “Ain’t never lettin’ you tease me again. Ain’t never lettin’ some sorry bastard think he can have what’s mine.”

His fingers wrapped around your throat again, cutting off your weak protests. His free hand slid between your thighs, his thumb pressing cruel circles against your clit, forcing your body to react, forcing pleasure through the horror.

“You feel that?” he whispered against your lips. “Feel how fuckin’ good I make you feel?”

You wanted to scream, wanted to deny it, but the pressure coiled tight in your gut, your body betraying you in the worst way. His thumb pressed harder, his cock slamming into you with brutal precision, and the pleasure cracked through you like a whip.

The orgasm hit you like a betrayal, leaving you shaking beneath him, gasping, shuddering. His laughter followed, low and dark, filled with cruel satisfaction.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

His thrusts grew erratic, harder, sharper, until with a final groan, he buried himself to the hilt, his release spilling inside you, marking you from the inside out.

The silence that followed was deafening. His breath was ragged against your skin, his weight still pinning you down. Your body ached, every inch of you raw and used, slick with sweat and shame.

Slowly, he leaned back, dragging his fingers through the mess he made between your thighs. He lifted his hand, spreading his fingers, smearing it across your stomach with a smirk.

“Now,” he murmured, voice dark with satisfaction. “Now you know who you fuckin’ belong to.”

He pulled back, zipping his jeans like nothing happened, like he hadn’t just destroyed you in the cab of his damn truck.

You barely registered the door opening, barely registered the sharp night air kissing your ruined skin.

But you felt his hand on your ankle, dragging you toward him.

“C’mon, sugar,” he said, his voice thick with amusement. “We ain’t done yet.”

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 ✦✧✦✧

You never noticed his eyes on you.

Caleb had always been your older stepbrother, the reliable, easygoing one. The towering giant with a lazy smirk, always ready with an arm slung around your shoulders and a dry, teasing remark at your expense. You never thought twice about the way he looked at you, how his eyes followed your every move, how he lingered when you left a room. It had been years of patience, years of carefully curating the role of the harmless, goofy brother.

Until now. Until this.

Your lips, swollen, wet—tainted by someone else.

A kiss. Not his.

Your fingers curled around the front of your dress, oblivious, adjusting the hem, smoothing out creases like nothing had changed. Like you hadn’t just shattered the careful, painstakingly built restraint he’d held all these years.

Caleb stood just beyond the club’s exit, breathing slow, measured breaths. His fists clenched inside his jacket pockets, nails biting into his palms.

You didn’t know he had been watching.

You didn’t know that your crush—the man you’d been pining for—had been nothing more than an insect under his shoe, a passing amusement, one he had tolerated because you had never acted on it. Until now.

His jaw ticked. A muscle twitched beneath his cheek.

You would have gone home with him. Caleb could see it in the way your body had swayed, unconsciously leaning closer, in the half-lidded gaze you had given the bastard. The fucker wouldn’t have needed to work for it, wouldn’t have needed to carve his way into your life the way Caleb had for years.

No. He wasn’t letting that happen.

It had taken him this long—too long—to realize that waiting was a fool’s game. That pretending to be patient, that pretending to be the ‘nice guy,’ had only given you time to slip further away from him.

Never again.

✦✧✦✧

The first time Caleb realized you were his, you were six years old.

He had just turned ten, and his mother had sat him down, voice soft, hands gentle, and told him he was getting a little sister. He had scowled, kicked at the leg of the coffee table, and declared that he didn’t want one.

But then you arrived.

Small. Fragile. Helpless. You had stared up at him with wide, unblinking eyes, and something in his chest had shifted. You had reached for him, tiny fingers curling around his thumb, and it had clicked.

Mine, his young mind had whispered.

He had taken the role easily, instinctively. No one picked on you. No one got too close. He was always there, hovering, watching, ensuring that no harm ever came your way. At school, on the playground, at home—his presence was a constant shadow, an unshakable force. You had looked up to him. You had trusted him.

But then you grew up.

And suddenly, he wasn’t the only one in your world anymore.

At fourteen, you had your first crush. Some idiot kid in your class, some faceless, nameless little shit that had made you blush and giggle in a way that made Caleb’s teeth grind. He hadn’t understood it, hadn’t been able to place the slow-burning anger that festered in his stomach. He had shoved it down, convinced himself it was just overprotectiveness.

At sixteen, you had your first boyfriend. Caleb had hated him on sight. He had never been cruel, never outright told you that you were making a mistake—but the guy never stuck around long, did he? None of them ever did. A comment here, a well-placed insult there, a few carefully crafted rumors whispered into the right ears, and they would be gone, scurrying off like frightened rodents.

You never noticed the pattern.

You never noticed that the common denominator was him.

At twenty, you had your first heartbreak. He had watched, expression unreadable, as you curled into yourself, as you moped around the house, as you swore off men altogether. It had taken everything in him not to smile. He had comforted you, held you, whispered reassurances into your hair, all the while knowing that this was for the best.

He could wait.

He could always wait.

But then tonight happened.

And now? Now he was done waiting.

✦✧✦✧

The night air still clings to you, the last remnants of the club’s heavy bass rattling in your bones, your body still warm, still buzzing from the heat of the dance floor. You don’t notice him. Not at first. Not when you step out onto the street, not when you inhale deep, reveling in the cool relief of fresh air, not even when you shift your dress over your thighs, fingers smoothing over the fabric without thought.

But he notices you.

Caleb had always noticed you.

His fingers twitch, tightening inside his jacket pockets. His heartbeat is slow, measured, calculated, but the muscle in his jaw ticks, his temple throbbing. It’s a mistake, isn’t it? Letting you out of his sight. Thinking you were still the good girl, his good girl, untouched, untainted. That you would never stray. But here you are, skin flushed, lips swollen, kissed by someone else.

His stomach knots, his lungs empty, a deep, burning pit opening in his gut.

It’s not jealousy. It’s not.

It’s rage.

He follows you home.

You don’t realize it. Not when you fumble with your keys, not when you slip inside, humming softly under your breath, not when you lock the door behind you, confident in your solitude. Caleb has always been good at waiting. Good at biding his time. But tonight, the patience he has cultivated for years has finally snapped.

And you will know it.

Your bedroom is warm, the air thick, the lingering scent of perfume and alcohol clinging to your skin. You don’t hear him enter. Don’t hear the door ease open, don’t hear the soft sound of the lock clicking back into place. But you feel it—

The shift in the air. The sudden, stifling presence behind you.

“Did you have fun tonight?”

The voice is low, smooth, almost lazy. Familiar.

Your blood runs cold.

You whirl, eyes going wide, breath stuttering in your throat. Caleb leans against your door, the barest hint of a smirk on his lips, but there’s something else, something unreadable in his gaze. Something that makes your stomach twist.

You take a step back. “What are you—?”

“Answer the question.” His voice is sharp, cutting through your feeble protest, his eyes pinned to you like a predator, like he’s already decided something you aren’t privy to yet.

You swallow hard. Your fingers clutch at your dress. “Y-Yeah.”

His smirk doesn’t falter. If anything, it deepens, slow and knowing, curling at the edges with something dark, something dangerous. “Yeah?”

You don’t notice the movement. The way he closes the distance between you in one smooth stride, the way his hand grips your jaw, tilting your face up, forcing you to meet his gaze.

“That why you let him put his hands all over you?”

Your breath hitches.

You barely have time to react before he shoves you back, the force knocking you onto the mattress. Your vision spins, the world a blur of movement and heat, but before you can scramble up, he’s there, a knee pressing between your thighs, pinning you down.

Your hands push against his chest, weak, useless. “Caleb—!”

A hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back, exposing the delicate curve of your throat. His breath is warm against your skin, his lips barely ghosting over your pulse, drinking in the way it hammers wildly beneath his mouth.

“You let him touch you.”

A shudder wracks through you. “I—”

“Did you let him fuck you?”

Your breath stutters, horror clawing at your chest. “No!”

His fingers tighten, tilting your face, his eyes burning into yours. “Did you want to?”

The heat of his body is unbearable, suffocating, his presence swallowing you whole. Your silence is enough of an answer.

Caleb clicks his tongue. “Slut.”

Your gasp is swallowed by his mouth. It isn’t a kiss. It’s a brand, scorching, claiming, his teeth dragging against your lower lip before sinking in, the sharp sting of pain forcing a whimper from your throat.

His hands are everywhere—gripping, tearing, claiming. Your dress is bunched up around your hips, your panties tugged down, and there’s no hesitation, no pause as he presses a knee against your stomach, keeping you down as his fingers slip between your thighs.

“So fucking wet,” he breathes, almost laughing. “You really are a whore.”

You thrash, panic surging through you, but he’s stronger, so much stronger, and the weight of him pressing against you leaves no room for escape.

“Caleb, stop—”

A sharp prick at your thigh. A sting, barely noticeable at first, until—

Your body ignites.

A slow, pulsing heat unfurls in your stomach, blooming outward, spreading like wildfire through your veins. Your skin tingles, too sensitive, your limbs suddenly weak, boneless. Your breath comes in short, shallow gasps, and the realization slams into you, cold and unrelenting.

The needle. The drug.

Terror claws up your throat.

“Shh,” Caleb soothes, brushing damp hair from your face, his fingers light, almost gentle. “It’s just to help.”

Your body betrays you. Heat pools low in your stomach, your muscles twitching with need, your thighs trembling beneath his weight. Your mind screams, begs, fights against it, but your body—

Your body begs for more.

Caleb hums, watching you, fascinated, delighted. “See? So much easier when you listen.”

His hand grips your hip, flipping you onto your stomach, his palm pressing between your shoulder blades, pinning you down. There’s no preamble, no hesitation. His cock drags against your slick folds, teasing, tormenting, before—

A sharp thrust, a brutal stretch. A broken cry rips from your throat, your fingers clawing at the sheets, at anything, but there’s nowhere to go, nowhere to run. He’s too big, too deep, the burn of it splitting you open, wrecking you.

Caleb groans, his fingers digging into your waist, holding you in place as he pulls back, only to slam into you again, setting a brutal, punishing pace. “This is what you needed,” he breathes, voice thick, strained. “Not him. Me. Always me.”

Your mind fractures, pleasure and pain a twisted, tangled mess, the drug dulling the edges of your resistance, leaving you pliant, shaking, helpless beneath him.

He fucks you like he’s branding you, like he’s making sure there will never be another, that no one else will ever touch what belongs to him.

And you know, deep down, that he’s right.

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲! 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐨 ✦✧✦✧

You think you're clever about it. Discreet.

You're not the type to scream and flail like some mindless fangirl, throwing yourself at the feet of some celebrity or fictional character with doe-eyed devotion. You don't prattle about your obsessions in public, don't gush to your friends, don't leave a visible trail of your affections for just anyone to follow.

But you're obsessive. He can tell.

You hoard. You hyperfixate. You dedicate yourself to the things you love with an intensity that borders on madness, a quiet, insidious fixation that no one notices because you keep your voice down and your hands still. The signs are subtle, but he sees them. The methodical way you collect merchandise, the careful way you arrange it. The deliberate ritual of your mornings when you check the forums, the auctions, the new drops. The way your fingers linger on the edges of your phone screen, scrolling through the latest art of your precious prince charming—your perfect, fictional man.

And fuck, it pisses him off.

At first, he doesn’t care. He barely notices. It’s just some dumb little hobby of yours, another quirk of your quiet, weirdo personality. He’s known you forever, sat next to you in class, tormented you when you least expected it, because you were easy to push, easy to rile up. Even when you didn’t react, he could feel the tension in you, could sense the way you seethed beneath the surface. He liked that about you. Liked getting under your skin, even if you pretended he didn’t.

But then he starts to see it.

See the way you linger at the bookstore, fingers ghosting over the limited-edition hardcover of the latest volume like you’re touching something sacred. See the way your lips press together in concentration when you're hunting for merch, tracking down obscure, expensive collectibles with a drive he never thought you were capable of. See the way your eyes—your unreadable, guarded fucking eyes—go soft and distant when you stare at the screen of your phone, transfixed by some new voice line, some stupid romantic scenario featuring him—that prince of yours, that perfect, spineless little fantasy you keep feeding into.

It starts to get under his skin.

It starts to make his blood boil.

He’s never been jealous before. Never needed to be. He doesn’t do jealousy. It’s a useless emotion, a fucking weakness. And besides, who the fuck would he be jealous of? No one in this goddamn world is better than him. No one.

But then there's you. And your stupid, childish obsession with him.

He sees it all, piece by piece, and it grates at him like a fucking wound that won’t close.

You don’t even like guys like that in real life. That’s what pisses him off the most. You’re quiet, but you’re not naive. You don’t buy into the bullshit, the fake romance, the perfect gentlemen with their fake-ass smiles and their pretty, empty words. You don’t trust people like that. He knows you don’t.

So why the fuck is he different?

Why the fuck does this goddamn, nonexistent, pretty-boy bastard get to have your fucking heart in the palm of his hand?

He starts watching you closer. More than before. More than he should.

You don’t notice, of course. You never do. You think you’re so damn careful, so subtle in your affections, but you’re not subtle at all, not to him. He sees the way your fingers tremble when you finally win a limited-edition figure off some overpriced auction site, sees the way you press the box to your chest, inhaling shakily like it’s something precious to you. He sees the way you handle your collection, dusting each piece meticulously, arranging them just so.

He catches the way you react when you play the game—when you interact with him, that pretty-faced fantasy. Your breath hitching on certain lines, your lashes fluttering when he calls you princess.

Princess.

His fingers curl into fists.

The realization creeps in slow, insidious. It doesn’t hit all at once. It sneaks up on him in little moments, in the tension that coils in his gut when he watches you indulge in this stupid fucking fantasy, in the way his fingers itch to take it away from you.

Because that’s what he should do, right?

That’s what he’s always done. He’s always made your life harder, always reminded you of your place, always knocked you down when you got too comfortable, too secure. It’s practically second nature to him at this point.

So why hasn’t he done it yet?

Why is he watching instead?

He doesn’t realize he’s spiraling until he starts seeing red at the mention of the guy’s name. Until he hears some stupid fucking voice line from your phone during lunch break and feels his throat tighten, his teeth clench.

Until he finds himself waiting to catch you in the act, hovering just out of sight when you unbox some new, expensive piece of merch, watching with narrowed eyes as you cradle it so fucking tenderly, as if it’s something that actually deserves that kind of treatment from you.

Like he doesn’t deserve it more.

Like he’s not the one who’s real.

It all clicks into place when he catches himself fantasizing—not about you, not about your body, but about wrecking everything you’ve built up. About shattering every one of those delicate little figures, about deleting your save files, about ruining this for you so thoroughly that you’ll never even think about that stupid fantasy again. About leaving you with nothing—nothing but him.

His fingers twitch at the thought.

He lets himself think about it, lets the image settle in his mind: You, crying, devastated, completely and utterly destroyed. Because of him. Because he took it all away from you.

And then he lets himself imagine what happens after.

When you finally turn those unreadable, guarded fucking eyes on him—not with disinterest, not with fleeting irritation, but with fear.

When you finally realize there’s only one man in your life who actually matters.

And it sure as hell isn’t some fictional, spineless little prince.

No, he’s the only one who gets to own you.

And he’s going to make damn sure you fucking learn that.

✦✧✦✧

The destruction is methodical. Calculated.

It’s not like he flies into a mindless rage. No, that’s not how this works. That’s not how he works. He’s angry, yeah. Furious. But it’s a cold, simmering kind of wrath. The kind that spreads slow, poisoning everything it touches.

Your books, your posters, your neatly organized shelves of merch—all of it reduced to shredded paper, shattered plastic, broken fucking dreams. He tears down your shrine with his bare hands, watching with vicious satisfaction as your perfect little world crumbles beneath his fingers. The limited-edition figure you tracked down for months? Snapped in half. The signed illustration you framed and kept pristine? Ripped to shreds.

He doesn’t stop until there’s nothing left but debris.

And that’s when you find him.

Your gasp is sharp, raw.

“Katsuki—”

Your voice is tight with something unfamiliar. Something he’s never heard from you before. Panic.

And then—something else.

Anger.

It’s brief, but it’s there. A flicker of fire in your normally composed expression, a spark of real fucking rage as you take in the wreckage. For once, you don’t just swallow it down. For once, you fight back.

Your hands shove at his chest, weak and useless. “What the fuck is wrong with you?!”

His grip is on you before you can take another breath. Fingers tangling in your hair, yanking your head back, forcing you to look at him.

Oh. Oh.

He wants to fucking ruin you.

“Wrong with me?” His voice is low, dangerous. “What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?”

You twist in his hold, teeth bared. Good. Fight him. Struggle. Make this fun. “You destroyed my shit, you psycho—”

His hand clamps around your throat, cutting you off.

Your eyes widen. He can feel your pulse hammering beneath his fingers, a frantic little bird trapped in a cage. Your nails dig into his wrist, desperate, but he doesn’t let up. Doesn’t want to. His cock is already hard, already aching.

“Look at you,” he murmurs, voice thick with something dark and insidious. “Getting all worked up over some fake fucking asshole.”

Your body jerks as he shoves you against the nearest surface—your ruined desk, your broken shrine, the wreckage of your obsession scattered at your feet. You’re struggling, but it’s useless. He’s bigger. Stronger. And he wants this. Wants you.

His knee wedges between your legs, forcing them apart. His free hand rips at your clothes, tearing fabric, exposing soft, untouched skin. The sight of it—the vulnerability, the unwillingness—sends a violent shudder through him.

“You want perfect, huh?” His teeth graze your jaw, your throat. “Some weak-ass, spineless little prince to whisper sweet nothings in your ear?”

He yanks at your underwear, dragging it down, shoving it aside.

A rough, gloved hand forces your thighs open further.

“Too fucking bad.”

He’s not sweet. He’s not gentle. He’s not what you want.

He’s what you need.

The first thrust is brutal. Unforgiving.

You gasp, a broken, choked-off sound that makes his blood fucking sing. Your nails carve lines into his arms, his shoulders, your body tensing like a vice around him. Fuck, you’re tight. So tight it’s like your body is trying to reject him, like you’re not ready, like you can’t take it.

Too bad.

He buries himself deeper, grinding against the resistance, forcing your body to mold around his.

And the look on your face—

Fuck.

Tears spill down your cheeks. Not silent ones. You’re making sounds, now. You’re whimpering, gasping, pleading.

But he doesn’t stop. Doesn’t slow. He fucks you through it, against it, into it.

Your hands push at him uselessly, your thighs trembling. The raw friction is unbearable, agonizing. His grip is bruising, his pace merciless, and yet—

Your body is betraying you.

He feels it. The way your walls spasm around him, the way your breath catches on every thrust. You’re still fighting, still crying, still shattering beneath him—but your body is starting to take it.

Good.

He forces your face to his, biting at your lips, your jaw, tasting your tears. “Cry all you want,” he growls. “S’not gonna change shit.”

Your body is his now. Your fucking soul is his.

And if you ever—ever—so much as think about another man again—

He’ll do worse than this.

Much, much worse.

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐲! 𝐀𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐮 ✦✧✦✧

You never realized just how deep the rivalry ran. Not until it was too late.

Atsumu had always been a bastard. The kind of asshole who charmed his way into your friend group with an easy smirk, all swagger and arrogance, making the people around him simultaneously hate and love him. He was the type to push boundaries, to make crude jokes, to tease until it was cruel. But he never seemed to care—not about anyone, not about anything.

You never thought he cared about you, either. Not really.

His twin, on the other hand, was everything he wasn’t. Osamu was steady where Atsumu was reckless, kind where Atsumu was caustic. You gravitated toward Osamu naturally. He made you feel safe, like the world was a little less chaotic when he was around. And, perhaps most damning of all, you liked him. Not Atsumu. Never Atsumu.

The Miya twins had always been your constants.

They were your childhood, your tormentors, your so-called best friends. The neighborhood kids whispered about how you, the quiet, deadpan girl, managed to keep up with them—the golden storm and the shadow beside him. But you knew the truth.

You weren’t special. Atsumu had told you that enough times growing up.

“Yer like a lil’ pet, y’know?” he’d say, a teasing grin stretching wide, the same one that made girls' knees buckle in high school but made you feel like a bug under a magnifying glass. “Me ‘n Samu, we share ya.”

He never meant it romantically. It was an ownership thing. A possessiveness that had nothing to do with love. The twins were like that—selfish in the way brothers could be, hoarding whatever they deemed theirs. You were no exception.

But then Osamu broke the rules.

You weren’t supposed to have a favorite.

✦✧✦✧

Atsumu had always been a fuckboy. That much was obvious. He flirted with everything that moved, never meant a word of it, and laughed at anyone who took him seriously. Women adored him.

You were different, though. Not in a way that made you special. Just… separate. An anomaly he could never figure out. You never giggled at his teasing. Never rose to his bait. He’d spent years pressing all the right buttons, poking, provoking, waiting for you to crack. But you never did.

Even now, at twenty, when he saw you at the summer festival—dressed in soft colors, yukata swaying against your frame—your expression remained impassive, empty. Like you weren’t even really there.

Except—you were. With Osamu.

And that—that made something in him break.

It was instinct at first. A twin thing, maybe.

He’d been in the middle of another meaningless hookup when the feeling crawled over him—restless, wrong. He’d abandoned the girl without a second thought, following the tug in his gut.

Then he saw you. Saw his twin with you.

The two of you stood near a food stall, Osamu’s arm lazily draped over your shoulder, his hand casually brushing against the fabric of your sleeve. It was nothing. But it wasn’t nothing. Not when you were letting him. Not when Osamu was looking at you with an expression he’d never worn before.

And worse—

You were looking back.

Atsumu felt sick.

He watched from the shadows, eyes trained on the tiny, almost imperceptible shifts in your body language. You never let people touch you. Even he, who had spent a lifetime testing your patience, never got that kind of softness.

And Osamu—he fucking knew that.

Because they were twins. Because he understood you just as well as Atsumu did.

So why the fuck did he think he could have you?

Why the fuck did you let him?

Atsumu had never been jealous before.

Sure, he’d fought with Osamu his entire life—over grades, over volleyball, over dumb shit that never mattered. But it had always been fair game.

This wasn’t.

Osamu had stolen something that Atsumu hadn’t even realized belonged to him.

Something he wasn’t willing to share anymore.

✦✧✦✧

You didn’t notice the shift immediately.

Atsumu had always been an asshole. That much was normal.

But there was something different now. A new edge to his cruelty. A sharper bite to his words.

When he cornered you after practice one evening, it didn’t feel like the usual teasing.

“You been avoidin’ me?”

His voice was light, casual. But his eyes—they weren’t.

You barely glanced up, unmoved. “No.”

A muscle in his jaw twitched.

“Liar.”

He stepped closer, too close, his presence suffocating. The gym was empty now, the lights dimming. Your fingers curled at your sides, but your expression remained blank.

“You pissed about somethin’?” he asked, though he already knew the answer.

Silence.

And that—that pissed him off more than anything.

His hand shot out, gripping your jaw, tilting your head up. Your pulse was steady against his fingers, your face devoid of fear.

“You like him that much?”

The question caught you off guard. Your brows furrowed slightly. “What?”

His thumb brushed over your bottom lip, not gently.

“You like Osamu that much?” he repeated, voice dangerously soft.

You didn’t answer.

Something flickered in his eyes—something dark, something dangerous.

Your knee jerked up, aiming for his crotch, but he was faster—always faster. His hand shot out, catching your leg, shoving it back down. And then—

Crack.

Pain exploded through your skull.

Your vision blurred, the sharp impact of his fist knocking your head against the metal with a sickening clang. The world swam, and for a split second, you couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe.

And when the world went dark, he smiled.

✦✧✦✧

You wake up to the feeling of something wrong.

The air is thick, oppressive, pressing down on your chest before you even fully register where you are. It’s dark—too dark. Your room isn’t supposed to be this dark. Panic scratches up your throat as you blink, trying to adjust, trying to move—and then you realize.

You can’t.

Your wrists are bound above your head, the coarse bite of rope digging into your skin. Your legs are spread, ankles tied to the foot of your bed. The position is humiliating, leaving you open, vulnerable, entirely at his mercy.

And then you see him.

Atsumu, perched on the edge of the bed, shirtless, his lean, athletic frame cast in sharp relief. There’s something in his golden gaze that makes your stomach twist—something feral, something unhinged.

“Ya talk in your sleep, y’know.”

Your throat clenches. You pull against the ropes, but they don’t give. “Atsumu—”

He clicks his tongue, reaching out to grab your chin, forcing you to look at him. His touch is rough, his fingers digging in hard enough to bruise.

“Say his name again,” he murmurs, voice low, dripping with venom.

Your brows furrow. “What?”

But then you remember.

The dream.

The warmth of Osamu’s arms, the softness of his voice, the way you whispered his name like a prayer.

Realization dawns in Atsumu’s eyes, and his grip tightens. His smirk stretches wider, crueler. “There it is.”

Your stomach plummets. “Atsumu, please—”

The slap is sudden, a sharp crack splitting the silence. Your head snaps to the side, the sting searing across your cheek. Tears burn at your eyes, but you don’t cry. You refuse.

“Don’t beg,” he sneers. “Ain’t gonna change a damn thing.”

His fingers thread into your hair, yanking your head back. His breath is hot against your skin, his teeth grazing the curve of your jaw.

“Ya really think I’d let that slide?” His voice is almost amused, but there’s something darker beneath it, something lethal. “Ya dreamin’ about my brother while yer mine?”

You shake your head frantically. “I—I’m not—”

Another slap. This one harder. Your ears ring, a whimper escaping before you can swallow it down.

He laughs. “That’s cute, sweetheart.”

His hands move lower, fingers hooking into your shirt. With one brutal yank, he rips it open, buttons flying. The cool air kisses your exposed skin, and you shudder.

Atsumu hums, dragging a finger down the valley of your chest. “Ain’t nothin’ 'Samu can do for ya that I can’t do better.”

You thrash, trying to kick, but your legs are bound, useless. Your struggles only seem to amuse him.

“Aww, look at ya.” He grips your chin again, forcing you to meet his gaze. “Fuckin’ helpless.”

His hands travel lower, skimming over your stomach before settling between your legs. You clench your thighs, but it’s pointless. He yanks your underwear to the side, exposing you. The cool air is unbearable, and you feel the heat of his gaze as he drinks you in.

“Fuck,” he mutters. “So fuckin’ pretty.”

You bite your lip, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a reaction.

But he doesn’t need one.

His fingers part you, dragging through your folds. He groans, low and guttural, as he spreads you open, his touch rough, possessive.

You jerk against the bindings, but he just presses down harder.

“Atsumu, stop—”

The punch knocks the breath from your lungs.

Your vision goes white for a second, your body convulsing from the sheer force of it. Your lip splits, the metallic tang of blood filling your mouth.

“Don’t tell me what to do,” he growls.

You cough, gasping for air, but he doesn’t give you a moment to recover. His fingers plunge inside you without warning, two thick digits forcing their way in. The pain is immediate, sharp, and you cry out, your body convulsing.

“Fuck, yer so tight,” he grunts, scissoring his fingers inside you. “Knew ya’d take me good.”

Tears spill down your cheeks as he stretches you open, his pace unrelenting. He crooks his fingers, pressing against something that makes you jerk involuntarily, a traitorous spark of pleasure blooming through the agony.

He notices.

And he laughs.

“Look at ya,” he taunts. “Cryin’ and drippin’ all over my fuckin’ fingers.”

You shake your head, denial bubbling in your throat, but he’s already pulling his fingers free. He shoves them into your mouth, forcing them past your lips.

“Suck,” he orders.

You gag, trying to turn away, but he grips your jaw, keeping you in place. His fingers press against your tongue, the taste of yourself coating your mouth.

“That’s it,” he purrs. “Good girl.”

When he finally pulls his fingers free, he reaches for his waistband. Your stomach lurches as he tugs his pants down, his cock springing free—thick, flushed, leaking.

“You wanna be fucked by a Miya so bad?” he growls. “Guess I’ll give ya what ya want.”

Before you can even scream, he’s lining himself up, the thick head of his cock pressing against your entrance.

Then he slams inside.

The pain is blinding. A raw, splitting agony that rips through you, and you sob, body seizing around him. But Atsumu groans, head tilting back, shuddering at the way you squeeze around him.

“Fuckin’ perfect,” he pants. “Made for me. Not him. Me.”

He doesn’t wait. Doesn’t let you adjust. He sets a brutal pace from the start, pounding into you with unrelenting force. Each thrust is punishing, every drag of his cock inside you a brutal, violating stretch.

You scream, but it only seems to spur him on.

“Mine,” he snarls, his teeth sinking into your shoulder. “Mine, mine, mine.”

His nails rake down your thighs, leaving burning red welts in their wake. His hands find your throat, squeezing, cutting off your air until your vision dots with black.

And still, he doesn’t stop.

He fucks you like he’s trying to break you, like he’s trying to brand himself into your very soul.

And maybe, in some sick, twisted way, he already has.

Because when he finally cums, spilling deep inside you with a groan of satisfaction, you know one thing for certain.

You will never escape him.

Never.

⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧! 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮 ✦✧✦✧

He has never been jealous. Not once in his entire damn life.

Barou Shouei does not give a fuck about people. He doesn’t need anyone, doesn’t rely on anyone, and certainly doesn’t let petty emotions like jealousy get in the way of his dominance. The field is where he thrives, where he obliterates every other weakling with pure, unshakable will. His pride is an unbreakable fortress.

Or at least, it was. Until you.

You were different. Not in the way that people throw around that word like it means something, but in a way that pissed him off in ways he couldn’t explain. You were too easygoing, too warm, too open. It wasn’t that you were an extrovert—you weren’t. You were quiet, withdrawn even, but once people got close enough, you let them in. Too much, too easily.

And they all fucking loved you for it.

Shidou, that damn freak, always found ways to tease you, dragging you into his chaos just to see you laugh. Rin barely tolerated anyone, yet even he spoke to you without that disgusted look on his face. Chigiri, Bachira, Nagi, hell, even Ego himself had a certain level of begrudging respect for you. It made no sense.

But none of them compared to Isagi.

He doesn’t understand it at first. He’s not like Isagi, he doesn’t think in complex strategies or analyze the people around him. But he knows when something is off. And when it comes to you, something is definitely off.

The way you and Isagi are together—it's different.

You’re best friends. You’ve known each other forever. You grew up together, you say, laughing when Barou throws an insult at you the same way he does to everyone else, and you don’t flinch. “Guess I had practice,” you say, nudging Isagi, who just smirks.

Practice. Like you were already used to dealing with people like him.

That thought doesn’t sit well with him.

It only gets worse from there.

You’re always with Isagi. Always talking, always laughing. You have inside jokes he doesn’t understand. There are casual touches—too casual, too easy. You’re not fucking dating, he knows that, but something about it still pisses him off.

And then, the moment that finally breaks him.

You’re on the sidelines during practice, watching the others play while Barou finishes a drill. You’re leaning against Isagi, scrolling through your phone as the bastard peeks over your shoulder, grinning.

“You still have that picture of me?” Isagi laughs.

“Shut up, it’s a funny photo,” you snicker, nudging him away, but not before Barou catches a glimpse of your screen. It’s an old photo of Isagi—one where he looks ridiculous, probably mid-blink, caught at the worst possible moment.

It shouldn’t fucking matter. But it does.

Because you’re smiling. Because you kept it. Because it’s him.

Barou clenches his jaw, forcing himself to look away. The irritation lingers like a bitter taste in his mouth. He tells himself it’s just because he hates Isagi. It’s because the guy is annoying, always yapping, always acting like he’s smarter than everyone else. That’s all it is.

But that doesn’t explain why, later that night, he can’t stop thinking about it. About you. About the way you look at Isagi, about the way you laugh, about the way you never fucking laugh like that around him.

And then it clicks.

It’s jealousy.

Barou Shouei is jealous.

The realization is as infuriating as it is undeniable. It festers inside him like a sickness, twisting, seething, growing stronger with every second. And once he acknowledges it, there’s no stopping it.

He starts watching you more. Studying you. Not in the way Isagi would, not with careful analysis or logic, but with pure instinct. He notices things he never noticed before. The way you adjust your grip on your water bottle, the way your fingers twitch when you’re thinking, the way your lips part slightly when you’re surprised.

He notices the way people look at you.

The way Isagi looks at you.

The way they touch you.

The way you let them.

And it pisses him off more than anything ever has.

You don’t notice it at first. Why would you? Barou has always been Barou—distant, irritable, impossible to deal with. But something shifts.

He starts standing closer to you. Just enough that you feel his presence looming over you, a silent reminder that he’s there. He interrupts conversations you’re having with other people, not even looking at them as he pulls your attention back to him. When Isagi cracks a joke, Barou shuts it down with a sharp glare before you even have a chance to laugh.

And then there are the touches.

They start small. A hand on your lower back when he walks past you. Fingers brushing against yours when he hands you a water bottle. A grip on your wrist that lingers just a second too long.

You think nothing of it.

Until the night he finally snaps.

It happens after another practice, late at night. You’re packing up your things when he corners you, blocking your exit with his sheer size alone. You don’t even have time to react before he’s pressing close, his breath hot against your skin.

“You’re too fucking friendly,” he mutters, voice low, dangerous.

You blink, confused. “What?”

“With everyone,” he growls, his fingers tightening around your wrist. “You let them get too close. You let him get too close.”

Realization dawns in your eyes, and for the first time, you look uncertain. “Barou, are you… jealous?”

The word is a spark to gasoline. His grip tightens, yanking you closer, his body caging you in.

“Shut up,” he snaps. “You don’t get to fucking say that.”

You swallow, your pulse quickening. “I don’t—”

“Do you have any idea how fucking stupid you are?” His voice drops lower, rougher. “The way you act, the way you let them touch you—you don’t even notice, do you?”

You stiffen. “They’re my friends.”

“They’re fucking men.” His jaw clenches, his eyes dark with something unreadable. “And you’re mine.”

Your breath catches. “Barou—”

He doesn’t give you a chance to finish.

The kiss is brutal, all teeth and possession, swallowing your gasp as he pins you against the wall. His hands grip your waist, fingers digging in hard enough to bruise. He’s not gentle. He’s not kind. He’s claiming you, taking what he’s already decided is his.

You struggle, pushing at his chest, but he doesn’t budge.

“You think Isagi would stop me?” he breathes against your lips, his voice a dangerous whisper. “You think any of them would?”

✦✧✦✧

Barou isn’t stupid. He doesn’t miss the way your lips part, the flicker of something—excitement?—sparking in your eyes before you shove it down. You pretend to be flustered, pretend to be afraid, but you aren’t. He can see it. He can feel it in the way your body responds, the way your fingers twitch like you want to fight him and taunt him all at once.

And that pisses him off more than anything.

“You’re fucking enjoying this.” His voice is low, disbelieving, a snarl curling his lips as he stares you down. The air between you is electric, crackling with something dark, something raw.

You blink, but your silence is telling.

Barou’s fingers dig into your hips, holding you in place, his body pressing you against the wall. There’s no escape, not unless he allows it. And he won’t.

“I should’ve known,” he breathes, tilting his head, his eyes narrowing. “You always liked pissing me off, didn’t you? Always running your mouth, always hanging off Isagi like some needy little bitch.” His lips curl into a cruel smirk, something dangerous lurking beneath. “But you weren’t doing it to be nice, were you?”

You swallow. Say nothing.

Barou chuckles darkly. “You were waiting for this.”

His grip tightens, and your breath hitches as he drags you closer, his body heat suffocating. He’s always been big, but like this, caging you in with sheer dominance, he’s terrifying.

And you fucking love it.

The realization twists something in his gut, makes his blood burn hotter. He should be furious. He should hate you for this. But all it does is make his cock throb, make his need for control snap into something more vicious, more primal.

“You think this is a game?” he hisses, his breath hot against your ear. “You think you can play me like some cheap fucking toy?”

You smirk. “Worked, didn’t it?”

Barou snarls.

The next thing you know, you’re on the ground, your back hitting the cold floor with a dull thud as he yanks you down with him. His hands are everywhere, rough and unyielding, dragging your clothes up, shoving your legs apart like you belong to him.

And in this moment, you do.

Your laugh is breathless, teasing. “That all you got, King?”

Something dark snaps in his eyes.

His fingers wrap around your throat, cutting off your next taunt as he forces you to look at him. His grip isn’t enough to choke you—yet. But the threat lingers, heavy and thick, and your body shivers with anticipation.

“You’re such a fucking brat,” he mutters, shoving your legs wider, pinning you down with nothing but brute force. “Always running your mouth, always fucking testing me.” His fingers tighten slightly, just enough to make your pulse pound against his palm. “You really don’t know when to quit.”

You gasp, your nails digging into his arms, but it’s not in protest.

And he knows it.

A slow, predatory grin spreads across his face. “You like this,” he murmurs, more to himself than to you. His free hand slides down, shoving aside the last barrier between him and what he wants. “You fucking love it when I treat you like shit.”

Your body betrays you. The way you shudder, the way your hips arch involuntarily against his touch, the way your breath catches—he doesn’t miss a single thing.

“Filthy little thing,” he mutters, his voice thick with something dark, something possessive. “You were never innocent, were you?”

You smirk up at him, defiant even now. “Never.”

Barou doesn’t give you time to prepare.

The stretch burns, his cock forcing you open with no patience, no mercy. You gasp, your fingers clenching around his wrist as your body struggles to take him. He doesn’t wait, doesn’t give you a second to adjust—because you don’t fucking deserve it. You wanted this, you pushed him, and now you’re going to take everything he gives you.

His pace is brutal from the start, every thrust knocking the air from your lungs. He grips your hips hard enough to bruise, slamming you down onto his cock like he wants to break you.

“You think Isagi could do this to you?” he growls, his teeth grazing your jaw. “Think he could fuck you like this?”

Your moan is involuntary, wrecked and breathless, and that only drives him further.

Barou snarls, his grip tightening. “Fucking answer me.”

Your eyes flutter, your mind fogging with pleasure, with pain, with the sheer intensity of him. “No,” you gasp. “Only you.”

He fucking knew it.

His thrusts get rougher, punishing, his dominance absolute. He’s never been jealous before. Never let himself care. But now, he understands.

Then, finally, he speaks.

"Try that shit again," he mutters against your ear, his voice still rough, dangerous. "I dare you."

You grin.

Because now, you know exactly how to break him.

busy woman

teeny tiny sneak peak ahead, pls comment to be added to tags <3 first part will be up tomorrow (this was originally supposed to be a oneshot but it ended up way too long for that so I decided to split it up)

You'd seen the ending from the beginning.

They might've sucked you in, but you never fought back. Just stood still and let the quicksand take you until you landed here, sharing the middle bedroom in what some (yourself, included) would consider an unconventional living arrangement. Unstable would probably work too.

You were fucking Satoru, who was probably fucking Suguru, who was also fucking you.

If you didn't move out soon, the single thread holding the tightrope you were barely balancing on was going to snap, and you didn't think any of you would be able to pick up the pieces of whatever was left - as roommates, friends, lovers, or just strangers.

It'd been over from the first day you moved in. Really, the moment you'd met.

Satoru had been all smiles, so eager it was almost ridiculous how funny and charming you found him, his hand sliding over yours and squeezing like he'd known you forever instead of five minutes. He tutored you in your second to last year of college, forged a flirty friendship of sorts, waiting until you were clearly choking on your huge crush on him to introduce you to Suguru. You'd never been able to tell if he was his friend or boyfriend, but it didn't really matter, did it? Because even now, after the past four years, all the time you'd spent trying to carve yourself a place in their lives and living with them, it never made a difference.

There was them, and then there was you.

Their shared laughter and secret smiles, the tender touches and the way their eyes landed on each other from across the room - the subtle looks they exchanged like they were the only people who actually understood each other, you'd have to be stupid to miss any of it. Which, you guessed they thought you were considering the fact they both always waited until the other one was busy or had plans to bend you over the counter or pull your panties off on top of the washing machine and fuck you like you were the roommate they wanted.

"Suguru's gonna be home soon," You tried to warn him, but everything came out muffled, breathless, your face pressed against the soft mattress in Satoru's room, his hips smacking loudly against your ass. He hadn't even waited for you to finish brushing your teeth this morning to burst into the bathroom to whisk you away, throwing you on his bed and splaying you out like he'd been waiting all week for this.

And yeah, you did feel stupid for the faint flicker of hope that maybe he wanted this half as much as you did.

author's note. i miss my man

The sky had been burning when the world ended.

You were fifteen—just a kid with scraped knees and a heart too big for the horrors it was about to witness. 

Sirens wailed through the streets, helicopters thundered above, and the sharp stench of smoke and decay clung to the air like death itself. One moment, your parents were urging you to run, voices trembling with fear. The next, everything shattered. A scream. Blood. The gurgled breath of something that wasn’t quite human anymore.

You had survived. Somehow. Alone.

But the cost of survival was everything.

-

The woods are silent, save for the crunch of your boots over frostbitten leaves. The moon hangs high above, pale and cold, casting everything in an unforgiving glow. You keep your knife gripped tight in one hand, the other cradling your growling stomach. It’s been three days since you last found anything remotely edible.

Every snap of a branch, every whisper of wind feels like a threat. Years alone have trained you to expect the worst.

Then you pause.

Smoke. Just a wisp of it in the air. You sniff again, slower this time. It's faint, but definitely there.

You move like a shadow, quiet and cautious, weaving through trees toward the scent. And then you see it:

A flickering campfire nestled in a hollow clearing, throwing gold and orange light onto the figures beside it. Two men. Asleep—at least, you hope they are. One is lying flat on the ground, the other propped against a log, limbs long and sprawled, a blindfold covering his eyes.

There’s food by the fire. Real food. Bread. Cans. Water.

You inch closer, heart hammering. It’s been years since you’ve seen other people. You don’t know if that makes this moment safer… or far more dangerous.

You creep into the circle of warmth, fingers itching toward the supplies. Just one thing. That’s all you need.

You barely breathe as you crouch beside the campfire, the heat brushing against your frozen skin like a long-forgotten comfort. Your fingers tremble as you reach for a loaf of bread—real bread—but just as your hand closes around it, your boot nudges something metallic.

CLANG.

The tin can hits the ground, and for a moment, silence swallows everything.

Then—movement.

You whip your head toward the two figures by the fire. One shoots upright in an instant, long-limbed and alarmingly fast. The other groans awake, slower, disoriented. You don’t even have time to run.

"Don't move," the taller one says—voice low, commanding. You meet his gaze and—holy hell.

Snow-white hair, cerulean eyes. He stands like someone who’s fought the world and won. His blindfold hangs around his neck, exposing everything. It's him—the one with the voice that makes your skin prickle and a face that doesn’t belong in this nightmare world.

"Well, well," he drawls, taking a step forward. "And here I thought we were the only pretty faces left."

You swallow, frozen. His companion grabs a weapon, steps forward too, more cautious.

"Who are you?" the second man demands.

The white-haired man’s eyes never leave yours. He smirks.

"She’s hungry. Look at her. Poor thing."

You clench your fists. You’ve survived too long to be pitied.

"Touch me and I swear to god—"

The man raises his hands, mockingly innocent.

"Easy, sweetheart. No one’s touching you… unless you want us to."

You scrunch up your face, disgusted and his grin widens just a little.

You lift your knife. “I don’t want trouble. I just need food.”

“I’d say knocking over our supplies in the middle of the night is kinda trouble,” the dark-haired one says. His hair is tied back, strands falling loose around his face, his grip on his weapon steady. “Who are you?”

You swallow thickly. It’s been so long since anyone’s asked you that. Your voice is hoarse. “Just someone trying to survive.”

The white-haired one takes a lazy step forward, hands raised in mock surrender.

“Chill, Suguru. She’s not here to kill us,” he says, and then turns back to you. “You got a name, mystery girl?”

You eye him warily. “…Why do you care?”

He grins. “Because mine’s Gojo Satoru. And this grumpy one is Suguru.”

Suguru rolls his eyes. “Don’t tell her our names, dumbass.”

But Gojo—Satoru, apparently—just shrugs, looking far too amused for someone who just woke up to a stranger trying to rob him.

Your fingers tighten on your knife. But something about him… those eyes… that voice…

“You really gonna stab the guy who might be your best chance at staying alive?” he asks, cocking his head. “Come sit. Eat. Or run. Up to you.”

Your stomach growls loudly.

Satoru grins wider. “That’s what I thought.”

You slowly lower your knife, but don’t put it away—not yet. Your eyes stay locked on them as you inch closer to the fire. The warmth should be a comfort, but your muscles are still taut, ready to bolt at the first sign of danger.

Satoru sprawls back onto a log like he’s done this a hundred times. He’s still smiling—lazy, smug, like he’s enjoying this little show. Suguru doesn’t relax. He stays seated, but his eyes follow your every move, knife still held tight in his hand.

You kneel beside the fire, close enough to reach the food, far enough to lunge away if you need to. There’s a dented pot with some kind of stew, still warm, and a few pieces of bread wrapped in cloth.

“Help yourself,” Satoru says, waving a hand like he’s offering a royal feast. “We even warmed it up for you.”

You shoot him a glare but reach out cautiously, taking just a little. You sniff the stew first. Watch them.

“Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned,” Suguru says dryly.

“That’s what someone who poisoned it would say,” you mutter, tearing off a bite of bread.

Satoru snorts. “She’s got a mouth on her. I like her.”

You ignore that. Instead, you eat slowly, eyes flicking between them. They don’t move. Suguru keeps watch. Satoru lounges like this is the most interesting thing that’s happened all week.

“How long have you two been out here?” you ask finally.

“Long enough,” Suguru says, tone clipped.

"Too long," Satoru says, tossing a pebble into the fire like this is just another lazy night for him. "We move around, but we've got a base. Old prison, about twenty miles from here. You?"

You don’t answer right away.

“Alone,” you say after a beat. “I’ve been alone.”

The fire crackles between you.

Suguru’s gaze softens—just for a second. But Satoru’s smile stays.

“Well,” he says, stretching out his long legs, “you’re not alone anymore.”

You narrow your eyes. “I’m not staying.”

“Didn’t say you had to.” He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “But something tells me you might not leave either.”

He’s not threatening. He’s just… certain.

You’re crouched by the fire, still tense, still not entirely trusting, when Satoru leans back on his hands, head tilted.

“You should come with us,” he says, like it’s the simplest thing in the world. “You’ll be safer.”

Your eyes flick to Suguru—he doesn’t hide the way his jaw clenches.

“She could be a liability,” Suguru mutters. “You don’t know her.”

“No,” Satoru agrees, grinning at you. “But I like her.”

Suguru sighs, deep and disapproving, but you see it—that soft flicker in his eyes that means he’s already given in.

Satoru turns back to you. “We’re heading out at first light. If you’re in, pack whatever you’ve got.”

You nod, hesitant. But, maybe… maybe this is the start of something.

-

A gentle nudge to your shoulder. Then a voice, light and annoyingly cheerful.

“Wake up, sleepyhead. Big day today.”

You blink awake to Satoru crouching beside you, white hair a wild halo against the rising sun. He grins.

“You snore, by the way.”

“I do not.”

“You do. It was cute.”

You groan, dragging a hand over your face. “Remind me why I agreed to come with you again?”

“Because I’m charming,” he beams. “Now come on. We've got a long way to go—and Suguru’s already in a mood.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Maybe he wouldn’t be if you stopped talking.”

“Ohhh, savage!” he clutches his chest, stumbling back like you just stabbed him. “You wound me, stranger.”

You roll your eyes and sling your bag over your shoulder. “Not a stranger anymore, remember? You practically adopted me last night.”

Satoru grins, falling into step beside you. “True. You’re my problem now.”

“Joy,” you mutter, but your lips twitch despite yourself.

Suguru’s already waiting up ahead, arms crossed, brow arched like he’s already tired of this nonsense. “You two done flirting or should I keep walking?”

You open your mouth to protest, but Satoru gets there first.

“Jealousy doesn’t suit you, Suguru.”

“I will leave you in the woods,” Suguru replies flatly.

“You’d miss me in an hour.”

“You wish.”

You stifle a laugh and glance between the two. “Are you always like this?”

Satoru flashes you a grin. “Buckle up, sweetheart. You haven’t seen anything yet.”

-

The trek through the forest had been relatively quiet—birds rustled above, trees whispering overhead, and Satoru talking your ear off. But midway through the journey, something shifts.

Suguru’s head tilts first, eyes narrowing at the faint crunch in the distance. Not a squirrel. Not a rabbit.

You hear it next.

Low. Guttural.

A hiss.

Then another.

They come from the trees. Slow at first—one stumbles into view, then two, then more. Rotting limbs. Glazed-over eyes. That sickening gurgle of hunger.

“Aw, shit,” Satoru grins like it’s a party. “Looks like we’ve got company.”

Suguru already has his blade drawn, calm as ever. “Don’t play around, Satoru.”

“No promises.” He rolls his shoulders, cracking his neck with a sharp tilt. “Time to impress the new girl.”

The first zombie lunges—and Satoru moves. A blur of motion, too fast to follow. The undead’s head twists unnaturally before it even hits the ground.

Suguru moves more fluidly—clean, precise slashes. No theatrics. Just deadly efficiency. His blade slices through two more, not even a drop of blood on him.

But they just keep coming.

Your heart pounds in your ears. Adrenaline surges. You’d been careful to avoid confrontation all these years, but this is different. You're not alone anymore. And you won’t be dead weight.

You draw your blade—sharpened scrap metal turned makeshift machete—and steady your breath.

One charges. You duck, spin, and drive the blade clean through its skull. Another reaches for you. You kick it back hard, burying your weapon in its chest before pulling it free with a grunt.

Satoru whistles low. “Well damn.”

“Focus,” Suguru mutters, cutting another down.

You move together now, three separate forces of destruction.

Satoru’s grinning like a madman, whirling and laughing with every kill. “You seeing this? She’s got bite!”

Suguru flicks blood off his blade. “You could take a lesson from her.”

Zombies litter the ground within minutes. The forest falls silent again—except for your panting breaths.

Satoru walks over, brushing blood off his cheek. “Well, that was fun. You good?”

You nod, chest still heaving. “Peachy.”

“Okay, badass,” he says with a grin, then nudges your shoulder playfully. “I take it back. You’re not just some lost little stray. You’ve got some claws.”

Suguru simply gives you a once-over, silent approval in his gaze.

You sheath your blade. “Told you I could handle myself.”

Satoru grins wider. “Yeah, and it was hot.”

-

The journey's been long, your legs aching from the endless trek, your guard never once lowered—not even with Satoru’s ridiculous jokes or Suguru’s unnervingly sharp eyes on you.

But when the trees begin to thin and the rusted silhouette of a massive abandoned prison looms ahead—walls towering, fences lined with jagged barbed wire, and lookout towers standing tall like watchful sentinels—you feel something you haven't in years:

Hope.

Gojo stretches lazily, like the walk didn’t faze him at all. "Home sweet hellhole," he grins. "Bet you weren’t expecting this kind of palace."

Suguru doesn’t say much, just gestures for you to follow. The guards on the watchtower whistle low when they see the trio approaching, and the gates creak open. Inside, the prison yard is alive—people bustling, fires burning in steel barrels, children laughing (actual children), and survivors moving with purpose.

You're stunned. You didn’t think this kind of order still existed.

A kid runs up to Gojo. “Satoru! You’re back!”

“Obviously,” he winks, tossing his jacket at the kid. “Miss me?”

You stare, wide-eyed.

“You’re like… respected here?”

“Terrifying, isn’t it?” Gojo deadpans. “Stick with me, newbie. I’ll show you the ropes. Maybe even let you survive.”

Suguru glances back, quiet for a moment. “Don’t get too comfortable. It’s safe, but it’s not paradise.”

Gojo leans closer to you as you're led through the gates.

“Don’t worry. If anything tries to eat you—aside from me—I’ll kill it.”

Your face burns and he just smirks like he’s got you all figured out.

“Aww, don’t get all shy, now. Where’d all that bite from earlier go?” he teases, voice low and entirely too smug.

You shove him with a scowl, cheeks still flaming. “Shut up, lecher.”

He stumbles back with a dramatic gasp, hand clutching his chest. “Lecher? Ouch. You wound me, sweetheart.”

Suguru sighs ahead of you. “Ignore him. He gets like this when he’s not punched often enough.”

Gojo just throws an arm around your shoulders, unbothered and still grinning. “Admit it, you missed human interaction.”

You glare up at him. “I missed silence.”

“Too bad,” he chirps, “you’re stuck with me now.”

You follow Gojo through the looming gates of the old prison turned fortress, the creak of rusted metal echoing off cold concrete walls. The place is… intimidating, but secure. High fences, makeshift watchtowers, guards with weapons patrolling like hawks. Survivors glance your way—curious, cautious—but no one approaches just yet.

“Well,” Gojo grins, throwing his arms out dramatically, “welcome to paradise, sweetheart.”

You shoot him a glare, but before you can answer, a voice calls out.

“Don’t call new recruits that, Gojo.”

A tall woman leans against the infirmary doorway, cigarette dangling between her fingers, lab coat stained with faded blood. She looks you up and down, then flicks ash to the ground with a sigh.

“Ieiri Shoko. I’m the doctor over here,” she says. “You look like hell.”

“…Thanks?”

“She means ‘you’ll fit right in,’” Gojo says brightly, nudging your shoulder. “She’s got a warm heart under all that… nicotine.”

Before you can respond, another figure approaches—sharp, calculating, blond hair swept neatly back and a stern face that reads no nonsense allowed.

“Nanami Kento,” he introduces himself. “I hope you know how to follow rules.”

You stiffen slightly. “Depends on the rules.”

Gojo chuckles. “Play nice, Nanamin. She’s new.”

“And she’ll stay alive longer if she learns structure.”

You barely have time to absorb that before someone barrels into the conversation like a human golden retriever.

“Gojo-sensei! You’re back!”

A pink-haired young man skids to a stop beside you, eyes wide with excitement. “Whoa—new person?! Hi! I’m Itadori Yuji!”

You blink, overwhelmed by the sudden burst of energy.

“Yuji,” Gojo sighs fondly. “Tone it down a little, yeah? She’s been through it.”

Yuji’s smile softens. “Right, sorry. Still—welcome. You hungry? We’ve got canned peaches! They’re not that bad if you hold your breath.”

A scoff cuts through the chaos.

“That’s how you welcome someone? ‘Peaches if you hold your breath’?”

You turn to see a girl with sharp eyes, short auburn hair, and a confident stance stroll up like she owns the place.

“Kugisaki Nobara,” she says, hand on her hip. “Don’t let the dumb smiles fool you—Yuji’s annoying, but he’s not dangerous. Usually.”

Yuji pouts. “Rude.”

And last, from the shadows near the barracks, a low voice.

“Don’t overwhelm her.”

A tall boy steps forward, dark hair, brooding expression. Cold eyes meet yours briefly before shifting away like he’s already bored of this interaction.

“Fushiguro Megumi.”

You blink. “Nice to meet you… all.”

“You’ll get used to the chaos,” Nobara says. “Eventually.”

Gojo’s grin widens, like a proud dad watching his weird little family.

“See? Told you you’d like it here.”

You’re not sure yet. But for the first time in years, you’re not alone.

-

The base is a repurposed prison, all concrete walls and rusted bars, but the way Gojo walks its halls, it might as well be a palace.

“Welcome to paradise,” he grins, pushing open a barred door that creaks like it’s complaining. “Don’t let the charming décor fool you. The rats love it here.”

You roll your eyes but follow him in. He gestures with a dramatic sweep of his arm. “Your very own cell—er, suite.”

The room is small, but clean. A bed shoved into one corner, a patched-up mattress, and even a chipped mirror on the wall. You nod, impressed despite yourself.

He leans against the doorframe, arms crossed. “I gave you the one with a window. You can thank me later.”

You smirk and step back out into the hallway. “Trying to impress me, Gojo?”

“Oh, absolutely. I’m a peacock in the apocalypse, baby.”

You laugh under your breath and follow him down a narrow hall. There’s a dip in the concrete, a crack in the floor you don’t notice until your boot catches—your heart jumps as you pitch forward, but Gojo’s arms are immediately around you.

Strong. Steady. Warm.

“Careful now,” he murmurs, voice all silk and smugness. “You fell for me already?”

You’re pressed against his chest, your breath caught in your throat, face heating up. He doesn’t move right away—his hands settle on your waist, casual and intimate in a way that makes your stomach flip.

You shove him off with a flustered glare. “Shut up, lecher.”

He grins, wide and infuriating. “That’s more like it.”

The rest of the tour is quieter. You pass rooms where others sleep, the mess hall, the infirmary where Shoko’s set up shop. You even glimpse Yuji hauling supplies with Nobara snapping at him in the distance.

But then Gojo stops in front of a heavy iron door—no windows, no markings. His face changes. The joking fades.

“Whatever you do,” he says, voice low, “don’t go into the commissary. Not alone. Not ever.”

You blink, caught off guard by the sudden seriousness.

“Why?”

He doesn’t answer immediately. His blue eyes sharpen beneath his snowy lashes.

“Because even monsters like us keep our secrets somewhere,” he says softly. “And some doors are locked for a reason.”

You stare at him, heart knocking against your ribs.

Gojo Satoru, unshakable, untouchable… looking haunted?

Your skin prickles.

But he flashes you that lazy grin again, like nothing happened. “Now come on. You haven’t seen the courtyard. Yuji likes to wrestle people out there—it’s horrible. You’ll love it.”

And just like that, the moment passes… but the warning stays.

-

The rooftop’s quiet late at night.

The chaos of the base fades into a hush, just the distant hum of wind brushing over cracked cement and rusted fences. You lie back against the cool surface, arms behind your head, eyes fixed on the sky above. For once, it’s clear. A spatter of stars gleam like glass shards across a velvet sky.

You let yourself breathe.

No infected. No screaming. No fear.

Just the stars.

Footsteps approach—light, familiar, cocky.

“I knew you were a stargazer,” Gojo says, easing himself down beside you with a dramatic sigh. “You’ve got that dreamy, melancholic look. So poetic.”

You don’t look at him. “You’ve got that annoying, uninvited energy. So parasitic.”

He barks out a laugh. “Ow. You wound me, sweetheart.”

A beat passes. Then another.

You can feel him watching you, but for once, he doesn’t speak.

And somehow, that’s more unsettling.

“…You alright?” you ask, finally glancing his way.

He’s leaning back on his elbows, white hair messy from the wind, blue eyes locked on the stars—but they’re distant. Quiet. A far cry from their usual teasing glint.

“I’m heading out tomorrow,” he says casually. “Scouting mission. Few days tops.”

You blink. “Oh.”

Something flickers in your chest. It shouldn’t. Not like this.

“Oh,” you repeat, softer. “Right.”

A part of you wants to ask why he’s going. Another part wants to pretend it doesn’t matter. You settle for neither, chewing your lip, trying to ignore the weight settling in your gut.

Satoru glances at you then, his smirk lazy but his voice just a touch softer.

“Try not to miss me, yeah?”

You scoff. “I’ll throw a party the second you leave.”

“That’s what they all say,” he murmurs, leaning just a little closer. “Then they realize how boring life is without me.”

His smile is all mischief—but behind it, there’s something warmer. Something real.

And for once… you don’t fire back. You just look at him.

Maybe you’ll miss him a little. Just a little.

-

You don’t expect his absence to linger. But it does.

You feel it in the small silences—the way the mess hall feels quieter without his dumb jokes echoing through it, how sparring sessions feel colder without him barging in with some smug, offhanded comment about your form.

At night, you find yourself back on the rooftop. The stars are still there, but they don’t sparkle like they used to. It’s stupid, you tell yourself, because what kind of person starts depending on a man like that?

He’s loud. He’s infuriating. He teases you relentlessly.

But… he saw you. When you thought no one ever would again.

Shoko notices the way you’ve been spacing out more. She doesn’t say anything until the third night.

“You okay?”

You nod. Too quickly. “Fine.”

She squints at you. “You’re not fine. You’re moping.”

“I’m not moping.”

She clicks her tongue. “Acting like someone’s girlfriend.”

You nearly knock your cup over. “I’m not—!”

But you don’t finish that sentence. Because the words feel too close to something you’ve been avoiding.

You try to bury it—tell yourself it’s just concern. You’re just… grateful. It’s not like that. You don’t miss his stupid smirk or the way he always stands too close just to fluster you. You don’t care about how his hair always looks so damn soft, or how his voice drops a little when he’s serious with you.

You don’t.

You don’t.

Then the whispers start.

“No signal from the scouting team.”

“They were supposed to be back by now.”

A cold chill snakes down your spine.

You start going to the gate more. Just to check. You pretend it’s coincidence.

It’s not.

You catch yourself gripping the straps of your bag harder than usual. You’ve never hated waiting so much in your life.

Until one evening—

The gates finally creak open.

Your breath catches in your throat as the guards call out a name. Several figures walk through the archway, dust and blood clinging to their clothes.

And there he is.

White hair, blue eyes. One sleeve ripped off, a gash on his collarbone, dried blood staining his neck—but he’s alive.

“Satoru,” you whisper, already walking forward.

His eyes find yours instantly. That grin pulls at his lips like it never left.

“Aww, did you miss me?”

You don’t answer. You just hit his shoulder. “Idiot.”

But then your hands linger, and before you can stop yourself, you’re pulling him into a tight hug.

He stiffens, just for a second. Then his arms slide around you, strong and warm.

“Try not to cry too hard,” he mutters, voice light—but there’s something tight beneath it.

“I hate you,” you mumble into his shirt.

“Sure you do,” he chuckles, and when you pull back, his smile softens.

You don’t know what this feeling is. Or maybe you do. You just don’t want to name it yet.

But you know this: You’re glad he came back.

And for now, that’s enough.

-

You wander the halls of the prison alone, the hum of fluorescent lights above your head flickering inconsistently. Satoru had taken the kids out back for training, and with nothing to do and no one to bother you, you figured you’d finally explore the rest of the base.

The place was massive—too massive. Each cell block looked like the next, corridors looping endlessly into each other until your curiosity outweighs your sense of direction. One door, rusted and slightly ajar, catches your eye.

You should’ve turned around.

You push it open.

Inside is dark, dusty. Shelves line the walls, broken crates and old rations tossed everywhere. You wander deeper, hesitant but unaware. That is…until it hits.

The smell.

Rotting flesh, stagnant air, the thick, unmistakable stench of death.

And then—movement.

Shuffling. A low groan. Shadows twitch. A hand smacks against a shelf and knocks it over with a crash.

They're here.

Your eyes snap wide and panic sets in instantly. There are so many.

You run.

You shove a metal shelf in their path, throw an old stool, anything you can get your hands on to slow them down. Your breaths are shallow, desperate. But just as you near the exit—

Your ankle gives out.

A sick snap, searing pain, and you crash to the floor with a cry. You scramble backward, pressing yourself against the wall, using your good leg to kick anything that comes close.

This is it. This is it.

You squeeze your eyes shut, heart pounding.

Gunshots.

The sound like thunder crashing right next to your ear.

You blink up, barely processing the white blur tearing through the undead like paper.

“I told you not to go in here!” he shouts, voice slicing through the chaos.

“Satoru—!”

The zombies turn just in time for Satoru to drive his fist into the nearest one’s chest, cracking bone and sending it flying back into the others like bowling pins.

“Seriously?” he growls, stepping in front of you, his broad back shielding your crumpled form. “I leave you alone for five minutes.”

One lunges from the side. Gojo ducks effortlessly, grabs it by the throat, and slams it into the ground so hard its skull splits open on impact. Another claws at his shoulder, but he just grabs its wrist, twists, and kicks out its knee in one brutal motion. It collapses, and he doesn’t even look as he drives a sharp piece of wood through its head.

And then—you're in his arms. Just like that.

Lifted effortlessly, pressed against his chest as he strides out of the hellhole.

You cling to him, trembling.

“I didn’t know it was the commissary,” you whisper between sobs. “I didn’t mean to—I didn’t know—I just—God, I’m so sorry, Gojo, I—”

His voice is low, firm, but gentle. “Hey. Breathe. I’ve got you.”

You look up at him, lip quivering. “I—I made you worry…”

“Yeah, you did,” he says with a wry little smirk, but his eyes are too soft, too relieved to match it. “Don’t ever do that again, got it?”

You nod.

“Good,” he murmurs, brushing a sweaty strand of hair from your face. “Because if I lost you... I’d have to kill the rest of the world just for pissing me off.”

Your breath hitches.

You stare up at him, heart pounding, face flushed from more than just the sprint for your life.

“W-What kind of psycho logic is that?” you mutter, trying to deflect, your voice barely steady.

Satoru smirks down at you, still holding you effortlessly in his arms like you weigh nothing. “C’mon, don’t act so surprised. I’m dramatic, haven’t you noticed?”

“You’re insane,” you whisper, trying not to combust under his gaze.

“And you’re blushing,” he points out smugly, nose nearly brushing yours. “Kinda cute, actually.”

You twist in his hold, hiding your face against his shoulder. “Shut up,” you mumble, voice muffled.

He laughs softly, the sound vibrating through your chest. “Can’t. Teasing you is the only thing keeping me sane these days.”

You can feel the tension slipping away, replaced by something heavier, warmer. He lowers you gently onto a nearby bench just outside the danger zone, kneeling before you like it’s second nature, hands skimming your calves as he examines your ankle again.

When he looks up this time, his expression is different. Less playful. More raw.

“I meant it, you know,” he says quietly. “You scared the hell out of me in there.”

You blink, caught off guard by the sincerity in his voice. “I didn’t mean to—”

“I know,” he cuts in, hand brushing yours. “But next time, brat, wait for me. No solo adventures.”

Your lips twitch. “You’re calling me a brat now?”

“Borrowing the title. Think I earned it after saving your ass.”

You huff a laugh, cheeks still warm. “…Thanks.”

His grin softens. “Anytime.”

And just like that, you both sit there—his fingers still wrapped gently around your hand, his thumb rubbing absent circles over your knuckles—as the adrenaline fades and something else takes its place. Something quieter. Heavier. Charged.

-

Satoru insists on carrying you the whole way to the infirmary, ignoring your every protest.

“This is unnecessary,” you mutter, burying your face in his shoulder to avoid every curious glance.

“You twisted your ankle and almost got mauled. Humor me,” he says, smug but gentle, like the two can coexist in him with ease.

He kicks open the infirmary door with his foot.

“Delivery for one idiot who wandered into a no-go zone,” he calls out casually.

Shoko looks up from her desk, raising a brow at the sight of you both. “Well, well. If it isn’t the base’s golden boy and his damsel in distress.”

“I wasn’t distressed,” you blurt out instantly, wiggling in Gojo’s hold.

“Oh?” she hums, amused. “You sure? Because I could’ve sworn I heard ‘Gojo! Help!’ from all the way down the hall.”

You splutter. “That’s not— I mean—”

“Loudly,” she adds with a pointed smirk.

Satoru just laughs and sets you down on one of the cots, his hand lingering a little longer than necessary on your back before stepping aside.

“She’s fine. Just the ankle,” he says. “But maybe check if she sprained anything else. She fell pretty hard.”

Shoko moves closer, completely ignoring the medical part for now, because she’s too focused on watching the both of you squirm.

“Ohhh,” she teases, eyes sparkling. “Look at the two of you. Cute. Almost like a couple.”

You and Satoru freeze at the exact same time.

“Nope!”

“Not a couple!”

“Definitely not!”

You shoot each other a panicked glance and then immediately look away, flustered messes in stereo.

Shoko snorts. “Uh-huh. Sure.”

You glare. “Can we just focus on my ankle now?”

“Fine, fine,” she drawls, clearly enjoying herself. “Just sayin’. Wouldn’t be the worst match. You get saved, he gets to play hero. Very fairytale.”

“I hate all of this,” you mutter under your breath, while Satoru just smiles to himself, unbothered but definitely pleased.

When Shoko starts wrapping your ankle, he leans against the wall with his arms crossed, watching.

And you swear you see it—that tiny, knowing glint in his eyes.

Like he wants her to say it again.

Because maybe, just maybe… he doesn’t mind the idea.

-

It’s later that night when there’s a knock at your door. You’ve barely had time to settle in, still awkwardly hobbling around on one foot with your bandaged ankle.

“Who is it?” you call.

“It’s your favorite,” comes the unmistakable voice from the other side.

You roll your eyes but can’t stop the tiny smile tugging at your lips. “Didn’t know Nanami suddenly got chatty.”

A muffled chuckle. “Ha. Hilarious. Open up.”

You limp to the door and unlock it. Satoru is standing there, a little disheveled, hands full.

“Brought you dinner,” he says casually, holding out a tray with two mismatched bowls, steam still curling from the soup. “Figured you might be tired of Shoko’s painkillers and snark.”

You blink, caught off guard. “You didn’t have to.”

“I know,” he says dramatically, stepping in without being invited. “That’s what makes me so noble.”

You laugh despite yourself, and he grins like that was the goal all along. He sets the tray down on your little desk, then gestures toward your bed.

“Come on, sit. Can’t have you falling over again. One near-death experience per day is my limit.”

You sit, trying not to look too charmed when he settles next to you—close, but not too close—just enough for your knees to brush.

“I still feel terrible about earlier,” you say after a moment, poking at the edge of your bowl. “I didn’t mean to worry you.”

“You didn’t worry me,” he says too quickly, too nonchalantly.

You glance up. “Liar.”

He sighs and leans back on his hands, eyes fixed on the ceiling.

“Fine. Maybe I panicked a little. Sue me.”

A silence lingers, not uncomfortable. Just… warm.

Then, softer: “Don’t do that again, okay?”

You look at him, really look at him—the shadows under his eyes, the slight dip in his brow, the way his voice softens when it’s just you and him.

And something in your chest stirs. Something that’s been creeping in, slow and steady, ever since he offered you food by a fire that first night.

You nod. “I won’t.”

He glances over, catches your gaze—and doesn’t look away this time.

There’s something unspoken passing between you. Familiar. Intense. Safe.

“You’re really something, y’know that?” he murmurs.

You raise a brow. “That supposed to be a compliment?”

He smirks. “Depends. You gonna fall harder for me if it is?”

You flush instantly. “Satoru—”

He laughs and nudges your bowl toward you. “Eat before it gets cold, princess.”

You grumble under your breath but dig in.

And Satoru?

He watches you with that same lopsided grin, heart doing something stupid in his chest.

Because yeah—maybe you fell.

But maybe he’s been falling, too.

-

It’s past midnight when you stir.

The pain in your ankle has dulled to a throb, but it isn’t what wakes you. It’s… something else. A presence. Warm. Close.

You blink against the low glow of the hallway light seeping under your door, and when your eyes adjust—

You see him.

Satoru.

Slouched in the chair by your bed, long legs awkwardly folded, head tipped to the side, snowy hair falling across his face in soft, messy tufts. His mouth is slightly parted, breathing slow and even. His arms are crossed, like he hadn’t meant to fall asleep there.

Like he was just keeping watch.

Just in case.

Your heart does a little flip.

You shift quietly, trying not to make a sound. But even with all your care, the mattress creaks—barely. His eyes snap open immediately, hand twitching toward a weapon that isn’t there. Pure instinct.

Then he sees you. And relaxes.

“Oh,” he breathes, voice gravelly with sleep. “You’re awake.”

You sit up slowly. “Were you… here all night?”

He rubs the back of his neck. “Not all night. Just since… y’know. Evening.”

You squint at him. “Satoru.”

He sighs. “Fine. Yeah. All night.”

You stare at him. “Why?”

He shrugs, suddenly sheepish. “Wanted to make sure you didn’t wander off again and get yourself eaten.”

You frown. “You should’ve slept in your room.”

He smirks. “What, and miss out on babysitting you?”

You chuck a pillow at him.

He catches it easily and grins. But when he sees you holding his gaze, that grin softens.

“I just wanted to make sure you were okay,” he admits, quieter now.

Something gentle settles in your chest. You pull your blanket up and scoot slightly to the side.

“…There’s space. If you’re tired.”

He blinks at you. “Are you asking me to cuddle, orrrr…”

You glare. “I’m offering you a more comfortable sleeping arrangement.”

He doesn’t hesitate.

He slides in beside you carefully, so carefully, like you’ll break if he jostles you too much. And then you feel the warmth of him next to you, his presence steady and solid and safe.

“…This okay?” he murmurs, his voice a whisper in the dark.

You nod.

And slowly, slowly, you feel his fingers brush yours under the blanket. He doesn't hold your hand—not yet. Just touches.

Testing the waters.

You don’t pull away.

And in the silence that follows, you hear his breathing even out again.

But yours?

Yours is all over the place.

-

Morning sunlight filters through the barred window, casting soft stripes across your face.

You're warm. So warm.

Your cheek is pressed against something solid. Something that rises and falls gently beneath you. And there’s a hand resting at the small of your back, pulling you closer, keeping you there.

Your heart skips.

Your eyes blink open—and there he is.

Gojo Satoru. Asleep. Face relaxed and serene, messy white hair haloed in gold light. His other arm is curled under your pillow, supporting your head like it was the most natural thing in the world.

And you're lying on top of him.

Your breath catches in your throat.

You should move. You need to move.

But just as you're about to untangle yourself—

Click.

The door creaks open.

You freeze.

“Oh my god,” comes Shoko’s voice, casual, amused, and way too smug. “Well, well—what do we have here?”

You nearly leap out of bed, scrambling to sit up—only for your body to protest painfully, and you wince with a hiss.

Satoru wakes with a start, blinking up at Shoko in confusion before slowly realizing the position you're in.

“Oh,” he says blankly. “Morning, doc.”

You swat his shoulder. “Say something useful?!”

Shoko just leans against the doorway, arms crossed, grinning like she’s discovered the world’s juiciest secret. “No no, don’t let me interrupt. I was just checking on the patient, but clearly, she’s in very good hands.”

You’re burning. “It’s not what it looks like!”

Shoko raises a brow. “Oh, so you weren’t cuddled up like two lovebirds all night? Should I tell Nanami you’ve finally found someone willing to put up with your nonsense, Satoru?”

He stretches lazily and pulls the blanket back over himself with a smirk. “Actually, yeah. Tell him. Maybe then he’ll finally stop lecturing me about responsibility.”

You groan and bury your face in your hands. “I’m never going to live this down.”

Shoko chuckles, walking away. “Nope. I’m telling everyone.”

The door clicks shut behind her.

Silence.

You glare at Satoru through your fingers. “This is your fault.”

He grins. “You offered me a spot on the bed, your majesty.”

You shove a pillow at him. He catches it—again.

And then he smiles, soft and teasing, voice still a little raspy from sleep.

“...So. Want me to sleep over again tonight?”

“Get out.”

-

The first few days are rough.

You try to walk without limping. Try to reach for things on your own. Try not to feel like a burden.

But then there’s him.

You wake up to warm food at your bedside, Satoru leaning against the doorframe with a smug grin. “Brought you breakfast in bed, sweetheart. Don’t get used to it—I’m not always this nice.”

He very much is.

He offers his arm without asking when you need support. Doesn’t mention it when you wince or grit your teeth. Just lets you lean on him, like you’ve always belonged there.

You try to carry something heavy across the hall—he appears out of nowhere, snatching it from your hands. “Tsk. You trying to die or what?”

You try to help in the kitchen. He catches you wobbling and swoops in with a hand around your waist. “Whoa there, Bambi. What happened to ‘taking it easy’?”

You try to sneak off to explore the base again. He corners you in the hallway with a look that says absolutely not. “You’re still healing, brat. Unless you want me to carry you everywhere again?”

Cue your entire face combusting.

He’s annoying. Cocky. Ridiculously persistent.

But…

He adjusts your blanket when you’re asleep on the couch. Tucks a water bottle by your side without saying anything. Teaches you how to balance properly on one foot so your ankle can recover without straining the other.

And at night, when you think everyone’s asleep, you catch him checking on you—quietly, carefully. Making sure you’re okay.

You pretend not to notice.

But your heart notices. It notices everything.

-

You stand in the middle of your room, shifting your weight onto your healed ankle, then back again. No pain. No tightness. Just a deep breath and the quiet realization:

You’re better. Finally.

The door creaks open without warning—because Satoru never knocks—and in he strolls with his usual swagger and two mugs in hand. “Morning, sweetheart. Brought you—"

He stops in his tracks.

You’re standing. Not limping. Not clutching the edge of the bed for balance.

Just… standing.

He squints, slowly lowering one mug. “...Why aren’t you in bed?”

You raise a brow. “Because I’m not dying?”

“Oh no. Absolutely not.” He sets the mugs down and points a very offended finger at you. “You don’t just get to get better without warning me. I was emotionally invested in this arc.”

You laugh. “Sorry to ruin your Florence Nightingale fantasy.”

“Ruin? Excuse you, I was thriving. Who’s gonna let me spoon-feed you now?”

You roll your eyes, limping toward him just to mess with him. “I could pretend, if it makes you feel better.”

“Don’t tempt me.”

He walks over before you can say anything else—his hands hover, cautious at first, then one slides to your waist. “You really okay?”

You nod. “I’m good. Really.”

Satoru lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. Then he grins. “Alright. Guess that means I can stop being your personal nurse and go back to being your favorite nuisance.”

You’re smiling. He’s back to teasing. But there’s a softness in his eyes that lingers a little too long, a thumb that brushes your hip before falling away.

He missed taking care of you.

And maybe, just maybe, you kind of miss being taken care of.

-

You’re jogging laps around the edge of the prison yard, the early morning chill nipping at your cheeks. It’s peaceful—quiet enough that your footsteps and the rhythmic beat of your breath are the only sounds you hear.

Until a familiar voice breaks through the silence.

“Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite brat, back in action.”

You slow down, a smirk tugging at your lips as you turn toward the voice—and promptly choke on air.

Satoru.

Stretching.

Shirtless.

His snowy hair tousled from whatever ungodly workout he’s been doing, sweat gleaming on the hard lines of his chest and abs like the universe conspired to craft a Renaissance painting just to spite you. His sweats hang low on his hips, revealing that infuriating V-line that should not be legal in a post-apocalyptic society.

You blink. Once. Twice.

He grins, catching the way your eyes are very not subtly stuck on him.

“Like what you see?”

You scowl, instantly turning your gaze to a very fascinating patch of dirt on the ground. “Please. I’ve seen better.”

“Mmhm.” He takes a deliberate step forward, arms crossing over his annoyingly perfect chest. “Name one.”

“...”

“That’s what I thought.”

You huff and start jogging again, forcing your eyes to stay forward. But then he jogs up beside you—shirtless and smug, of course—and easily matches your pace.

“You sure you’re fully healed? What if you, I dunno… trip and fall again?” he says, tone mockingly sweet. “Need me to catch you, princess?”

“I’d rather faceplant into a zombie.”

He laughs, low and lazy. “I dunno, that sounds painful. Better to land on something soft. Like me.”

You glare at him, cheeks burning. “You’re the worst.”

“And yet,” he nudges you playfully with his elbow, “you’re still jogging next to me. Who’s really winning here?”

You roll your eyes, trying to ignore the warmth crawling up your neck. But deep down, you know.

He’s definitely winning.

-

After the jog, Satoru insists you “cool down” with some light sparring. You roll your eyes, but follow him to the training mats anyway. He’s already bouncing on his heels when you step in front of him, still shirtless, still smug.

“You sure you’re up for this?” he teases. “Wouldn’t want to break you again.”

“I’m more worried about bruising your ego,” you shoot back, taking your stance.

He whistles low. “Feisty. I like it.”

The sparring begins—light jabs, easy dodges. You’re nimble, focused, but he is... effortless. Every time you swipe at him, he ducks with a grin. When you go in for a kick, he sidesteps and lets out an exaggerated yawn.

“You done yet, sweetheart?” he asks, still dancing around you. “At this rate, I could do this blindfolded.”

“Shut up and hold still!” you lunge at him again—this time faster, bolder—but he grabs your wrist mid-swing and spins you around so fast the world tilts. Before you know it—

You’re pinned.

Back hits the wall. His hand holds your wrists above your head, other arm braced beside you. His body is dangerously close, breath fanning your cheek. His tone shifts, deeper. Rougher.

“You keep mouthing off like that,” he murmurs, eyes gleaming, “I might start thinking you want me to put you in your place.”

Your breath catches. “I—”

“Hmm?” he leans in, lips ghosting your jaw. “No witty comeback now?”

You try to move, but his grip tightens just slightly. Not enough to hurt. Just enough to remind you that this isn’t a game anymore.

“I could kiss you right now,” he whispers, “and there’s nothing you could do about it.”

Your heart hammers in your chest. “You wouldn’t.”

He smiles. Slow. Dangerous.

“Wanna bet?”

Your breathing is shallow, heat rising to your cheeks. You’re acutely aware of how close he is, the way his chest brushes against yours with every breath, the sharp glint in his eye, the smirk that’s far too smug for your sanity.

And then—

His lips graze your neck. Barely there. A soft brush of heat against your skin. You flinch—not out of fear, but from the jolt that shoots down your spine. Goosebumps bloom instantly. His breath tickles your skin.

“Sensitive,” he hums, lips ghosting up toward your jaw, “...cute.”

“Satoru—” you whisper, voice barely audible.

He pulls back just enough to look at you. His gaze drops to your lips, heavy and unblinking. And he leans in, slower this time, like he wants you to feel the anticipation. You can feel your heartbeat in your throat—

And then—

“AM I INTERRUPTING SOMETHING?”

You both jolt like you’ve been electrocuted.

Satoru spins around with a groan, still caging you against the wall. “Shoko. Seriously?”

She stands a few feet away, arms crossed, one brow cocked and a wicked smirk playing at her lips. “Wow. Could cut the tension with a scalpel. Should I come back later or just pass you a condom now?”

“Shoko,” you squeak, face on fire, squirming to escape Gojo’s hold.

He lets you go reluctantly, chuckling under his breath. “You wish you caught the good part.”

“I did catch the part where your face was buried in her neck like a starving vampire,” Shoko deadpans.

You bury your face in your hands.

Satoru just laughs. “You jealous?”

“Please. I'd rather not watch my coworkers dry hump in public,” she says, already turning on her heel. “Anyway. You two lovebirds done? I need one of you to help with supplies.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Gojo waves her off. Then he glances back at you, still all flushed and flustered, and leans down one last time to whisper in your ear:

“To be continued, princess.”

And just like that, he strolls off like nothing happened.

You're left against the wall, heart pounding, neck tingling, completely and utterly undone.

-

It’s quiet for once.

Most of the clan is out on a supply run or patrolling the perimeter. You’d offered to stay behind, helping Shoko reorganize her medical supplies before wandering off with a basket of laundry—warm clothes folded under your arm as you pace the empty corridors of the prison, barefoot, relaxed.

You finally set the basket down in the communal quarters, humming under your breath while sorting through what belongs to who. It’s… peaceful. The late afternoon sun slants in through the high windows, bathing everything in warm light.

Until—

“Picking up where we left off?”

You jolt, nearly dropping the shirt in your hands.

Gojo.

Leaning against the doorframe, casual as ever, sleeves pushed up, hair a bit messy like he just woke from a nap. His eyes are glinting beneath the lazy droop of his lashes, and that smirk—that godforsaken smirk—is unmistakable.

He saunters in before you can get a word in.

“Geez, you sneak up on people like a damn ghost,” you mumble, cheeks already burning as you turn back to the laundry.

“Aw, don’t be shy now,” he teases, coming closer. “You weren’t so shy when I had you pinned against the wall.”

You stiffen. “You got interrupted. Big difference.”

“Oh? So you wanted me to kiss you?”

You glare at him over your shoulder, but he’s already behind you, arms slipping around your waist—loosely at first, giving you a chance to push him away.

You don’t.

“I was thinking about you,” he murmurs against your ear. “All damn day. Thought I’d come see how you were holding up without me.”

“I was fine,” you huff, but it’s so breathless it betrays you instantly.

He chuckles. “That right?”

His hands glide up your sides, slow and sure, fingertips teasing the hem of your shirt. “C’mon, sweetheart. Just admit it—you missed me.”

You turn in his arms, glaring—but it’s weak at best. “You’re so full of yourself.”

“Maybe,” he leans in, forehead brushing yours, voice dropping, “but I still remember how fast your heart was beating last time.”

You swallow.

And this time? There’s no Shoko to walk in. No patrols due back. No reason to stop.

You hesitate for a beat.

And then you pull him in by the collar.

The kiss is feral. All teeth and tongue and breathless gasps. Weeks—months—of tension snapping all at once. His hands find your waist, gripping tight as he hoists you up like you weigh nothing.

“Fuck—” he groans against your lips. “You’ve been killing me, y’know that?”

You wrap your legs around his waist and tug him closer. “Good.”

He pulls back, grinning. “Oh, you wanna play it like that?”

You don’t get a chance to answer before he’s kissing down your jaw, your neck, dragging that maddening tongue of his down your collarbone. His hands are everywhere—palming your hips, your thighs, sliding under your shirt like he owns you.

Which, at this point, maybe he does.

“Tell me to stop,” he pants, hovering over your lips again. “Tell me now, and I will.”

You look him dead in the eyes, tug his shirt over his head, and whisper:

“Don’t you fucking dare.”

Your back hits the nearest wall with a muffled gasp, Satoru’s mouth already on yours, hungry and hot. His hands roam your body like he’s memorizing it with touch alone, fingers tugging at fabric with a frustrated groan.

“Off,” he growls into the kiss, already pulling your shirt over your head like it's offended him. He sets you down to pull your pants down along with your panties. And the moment you’re bare before him, he stands back, breath catching in his throat. His eyes—icy blue and blown wide with lust—roam your figure, landing on your chest like he’s just been given the meaning of life.

“…Can I motorboat your tits?”

You blink.

You laugh, startled and breathless. “Are you—are you serious right now?”

His lips curve into a wolfish grin, and he’s already surging forward to kiss you again. “Maybe next time,” he mumbles between kisses. “I don’t think I can wait to taste you now.”

You arch a brow, teasing, breath catching when he trails his mouth down your jaw. “Next time?”

He chuckles, low and dark. “You think I’m letting you off the hook after this?” His hands slide down your waist, thumbs stroking your hips. “Nah, sweetheart. I’m gonna ruin you.”

Then he sinks to his knees.

The grin fades into something hungrier, more reverent as he kisses the inside of your thigh, dragging his teeth gently across soft skin. “Spread ‘em for me,” he says, voice a whisper but firm. And when you do, he groans like he’s just tasted something forbidden.

You cry out the second his tongue touches you, hands flying to grip his hair. He doesn’t stop. Doesn’t want to. It’s slow, torturous—his pace deliberate as he works you open, devouring like a man starved. His moans vibrate against your skin, and when your legs tremble, he just pins them open wider, groaning, “That’s it… let me hear you, baby.”

Your back arches as Satoru licks another slow, devastating stripe up your core, tongue curling at your entrance before he moves to suck gently on your clit. Your fingers tighten in his hair, thighs instinctively trying to close around his head—but his arms loop under your knees, spreading you wider, holding you open like he owns you.

“You're not going anywhere,” he mutters, eyes flicking up, glazed over with lust and something dangerous. “Told you. I’m gonna ruin you.”

Then he’s back at it—slower this time, tongue flattening against you, then circling, dragging soft groans out of you as the tension coils tight in your belly. He eats you out like he’s trying to memorize the taste of you, savoring every movement, every moan he draws. He alternates between deep, dragging strokes and sharp, teasing flicks, lips closing around your clit to suck just hard enough to make your breath hitch.

You cry out, hips bucking up into his mouth, and he growls—low and throaty—as if turned on by how wrecked you already are.

"Fuck—so sweet," he groans, voice muffled against you. “Could stay down here all night.”

And he means it. He shifts slightly, tongue plunging into you now, slow and shallow, nose nudging your clit as he drinks in every sound you make like it fuels him. Every little tremble, every whimper—he devours it.

He doesn’t stop. Not when you start trembling, not when you whine his name in warning. He keeps going, lips slick and relentless, until—

Your vision whites out. Your body tightens, back bowing, mouth falling open on a silent scream as you fall over the edge, pleasure shattering through you like a storm.

Only then does he pull back, lips and chin glistening. He breathes hard, eyes dark and blown, grinning like he just won a war.

“That’s the sound I wanted to hear.”

He stands up again to pick you up, carrying you to the nearby table, settling you on it, completely bare under the low light, legs parted slightly, chest heaving. You’re flushed, trembling—not from fear, but anticipation. Nerves. Heat. It’s all crashing together in your head, and he sees it.

His hands move to his waistband, fingers curling beneath the fabric of his pants. He tugs them down with practiced ease, freeing himself—and your breath catches.

Your eyes drift down instinctively, and your stomach tightens at the sight of him. He’s big. Thick, flushed, already hard and aching.

Your pulse stutters, nerves flickering to the surface. “Oh…”

“Hey,” he says gently, fingers brushing your cheek. “You okay?”

You hesitate, biting your lip. “It’s just… I’ve never done this before.”

Satoru freezes for a moment. His expression doesn’t shift much—but his eyes, bright and blue, soften in an instant.

“…You haven’t?” he asks quietly, tone a stark contrast to the sinful smirk he wore earlier. You shake your head.

He exhales slowly, like he’s grounding himself. Then he leans in and kisses you—slow, patient, loving.

“Well, fuck,” he murmurs against your lips. “Now I really have to behave.”

You blink up at him. “You? Behave?”

He chuckles, brushing his thumb over your lower lip. “Okay, maybe not completely. But I’ll go slow. Make it good for you. You trust me, right?”

You nod.

“Good.” His voice drops a little. “Then let me take care of you, yeah?”

He’s gentle—so gentle it almost breaks you. His lips move from your mouth to your jaw, down your neck, to your chest. He pauses there, kissing over your breasts, fingers caressing your sides as though you might disappear if he’s not careful.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he breathes. “Gonna remember this forever.”

When he finally lines himself up, he doesn’t rush. He keeps kissing you, whispering into your skin.

“Breathe with me,” he says. “Nice and easy, baby. Just relax.”

The stretch burns, but his voice never leaves you. His hands never stop moving—stroking your sides, brushing your hair from your face, thumbing away the tears that prick at the corners of your eyes.

“You’re doing so good,” he murmurs. “So tight, fuck—squeezing me like you were made for me.”

Your breath catches, eyes fluttering shut.

“Look at me,” he says softly, “I wanna see your face.”

You meet his eyes—blown wide with emotion, affection, reverence. And that’s when he starts to move. Slowly, so slowly you can feel everything. Every drag, every pull.

“Feels good?” he asks, and when you nod, he smiles like you’ve just handed him the universe.

“You’re perfect,” he groans, picking up pace just a little. “Takin’ me so well, sweetheart. My pretty girl, lettin’ me be her first.”

You moan—part embarrassment, part bliss—and he kisses the sound from your mouth.

“Can’t believe no one’s touched you like this before,” he mutters against your skin. “But I’m glad. Glad it’s me. Glad I get to show you.”

He starts rolling his hips deeper, each thrust slow and purposeful, coaxing pleasure out of you bit by bit.

“Let go, baby. I’ve got you.”

You’re already gasping—your body burning, overstimulated from the build-up and the way he moves inside you. Every drag of him is a stretch, a delicious ache, and you’re trying so hard to keep up, to breathe, to hold yourself together—but it’s too much.

And then it hits.

Your climax crashes over you like a tidal wave—louder, sharper, more intense than the last—and your body tightens instinctively, your walls fluttering around him like they don’t want to let him go.

“Fuck—” Satoru’s voice breaks, a guttural groan tumbling from his throat as he stills, trembling above you. “You’re gonna ruin me, baby…”

His grip tightens on your waist, jaw clenched as he tries to hold back—but you’re squeezing him so tight, so perfect, and his restraint shatters.

“You’re killin’ me,” he grits out, starting to move again—deeper, slower, more intentional—but there’s an edge of desperation now. His forehead presses to yours, breath ragged. “Feels so good—fuck, I don’t wanna hurt you.”

You shake your head, nails digging into his shoulders. “Don’t stop,” you whimper, barely able to form the words. “Please…”

He kisses you hard—like he can’t help himself, like you’re the only thing keeping him grounded. “You’re doin’ so good for me, sweetheart. So, so good…”

“‘Toru-” you whimper.

That breaks him.

He groans, slamming into you harder, mouth finding your neck as he nips and kisses down to your collarbone. “Fuck. Say it again.”

You whimper again, brain hazy. “‘Toru…”

He kisses you slow then, deeper. Rough pace never faltering, but his hands gentler now—one wrapping around your waist, the other brushing the hair from your face.

“Mine,” he murmurs against your lips. “You’re mine now, yeah?”

You nod desperately, legs locking around his hips. “Yours.”

“Damn right,” he grits, driving into you harder, chasing both your highs with everything he has.

The overstimulation has tears stinging your eyes, your legs trembling, voice catching on every moan. And when that next orgasm builds too fast, too hard—it snaps through you like a live wire. Your body arches off the table, clamping down around him again—

—and Satoru snaps.

“Shit—take it, baby. Let me fill you up, yeah? Gonna make you mine, fuck, you already are—look at you...” he chokes out, thrusting deep one last time before he comes, spilling into you with a long, breathless groan. His arms wrap around you as if to anchor himself, holding you so close, like he needs to feel every inch of you, inside and out.

“Look at you,” he murmurs between pants, pressing kisses across your face. “Takin’ me so well… You’re mine now, yeah? All mine.”

You nod, dazed and boneless, wrapped in his warmth.

And he stays like that, inside you, forehead resting against yours as he murmurs soft, reverent praises—like this wasn’t just your first time.

Like it was everything.

Your body’s still trembling—nerves fried, skin flushed, heart thudding against your chest as if it’s trying to burst free. You’re barely aware of anything except the warm, strong arms pulling you into a careful embrace, the kiss he presses to your temple like it’s the most sacred thing he could ever do.

“Hey…” Satoru murmurs, voice all honey and rasp, rough around the edges but impossibly gentle. “You okay?”

You nod, chest rising and falling against his, cheeks still hot, but there’s a smile on your lips.

“Yeah,” you breathe. “Just… wow.”

He laughs softly, the sound low and breathy as his fingers brush along your spine in lazy, soothing strokes. “You were incredible,” he says, and he means it. Every word. “So good for me. So perfect.”

Your face scrunches with a flustered noise, burying it into his shoulder. “Stop…”

“Never,” he grins, nosing into your hair. “You don’t get to be all pretty and sweet and make those sounds and expect me to stay quiet about it.”

You groan. “Satoru—”

“Shhh.” 

His palm rests on your back as he holds you close, thumb drawing lazy circles. You can still feel the dull, pleasant ache of him inside you, the heat he left behind. His breath is warm against your cheek. Safe. Comforting.

“You did so good, baby,” he murmurs again, pressing a kiss just beneath your jaw. “First time and you still managed to rock my fucking world.”

Your heart stutters. “Wasn’t just the sex,” you say quietly.

He stills for half a second—and then he smiles, soft and genuine.

“I know,” he whispers.

You’re still breathless, body flushed and boneless in his arms when Satoru gathers you close, lips pressed gently to your temple. The air between you is warm, quiet save for the distant hum of life around the base. He shifts a little, glancing down at the table beneath you both, and you catch that flicker in his eyes—guilt, soft and creeping.

“I should’ve…” he starts, voice low, almost sheepish. “Shit, I should’ve taken you somewhere better. A bed, a blanket, something that wasn’t a hardass table. It was your first time and I just—” He pauses, brows pinching like the regret’s eating at him now. “I got selfish.”

You lift your hand to his cheek, thumb brushing over the corner of his mouth. “Hey,” you whisper, leaning in until your lips ghost over his, shutting him up with a kiss so soft, so full of emotion it makes his heart stutter.

When you pull back, your smile is small but sure. “It was more than okay. Because it was with you.”

Satoru blinks, breath caught in his throat. And for once, the man with a mouth like a wildfire doesn’t have anything to say.

Until he pulls you tighter into his chest and mutters, “You’re gonna be the death of me, you know that?”

You just grin into his skin. “Guess we’ll go down together then.”

Then silence. Not awkward, not tense—just full of warmth. Full of everything. His arms around you. Your fingers laced with his.

You don’t say it. Not yet. But maybe one day soon.

For now, the way he holds you like you’re something to be cherished?

It’s more than enough.
