why does he sit Like That
why does he sit Like That
In honor of V-day I'm sharing more takeryo I wrote (the title for this one is still a favorite):
@fanprompt "stir"
Spectre adds some honey to the cup; he stirs the tea a couple time before holding it out to Jin.
"Here."
Jin grunts in thanks as he accepts it. He idly stirs it once, twice himself.
"Did you poison it?"
Spectre smiles at the familiar question, "What do you think?"
"I think," Jin doesn't smile back and stares at the cup as he stirs, stirs, stirs, "I wouldn't have minded if you had."
Carefully, Spectre rests his hand on Jin's and stops his movement. He takes in his profile, the hollow look on his eyes, the dark circles underneath.
"Drink," he says, guiding the cup to Jin's lips, "It's not poison, but it will help you sleep."
A beat, two, then Jin takes his first sip. His hand, freezing, slowly warms up from the heat of the cup and Spectre's palm on top.
"Did you do this for your liege, too?" Jin asks at one point.
"Occasionally," Spectre hums, "Ryoken-sama would often suffer from insomnia or nightmares, as well."
"Huh..."
When he's done drinking, Spectre takes the cup from him and turns towards the kitchen.
"Did you stay with him, too?"
Jin's voice stops him in his tracks. His posture seems more relaxed, hunched down and pulled down by exhaustion, but there's still a taunt thread of tension remaining.
"When we were young, yes," Spectre settles the cup down on the table with a clink. He traces the rim with a finger, "But with time, he would start dismissing me. He wouldn't allow me to remain beside him." No matter how much he longed to comfort him; a wall had been built, and they were merely a leader and his right hand man.
"Then," and finally, Jin glances up at him through his bangs, "Would you stay, if I asked?"
Spectre walks towards him; he grabs the blanket on the back of the couch and unfolds it, watching it flutter before settling it over Jin's shoulders like a cape, reminiscent of his LV avatar.
"If my prince asks," he kneels on the floor in front of him and takes Jin's hand, a devoted knight, "how could I refuse him?"
@fanprompt prompt: tongue
Ryoken's staring at him.
"Do I have something on my face?" Takeru arches an eyebrow at him.
"...Your tongue," Ryoken says after a bit, pointing at his own lips, "There's... something..."
"Oh!" Takeru brightens and he sticks out his tongue, wriggling it around. "I got it done not long ago. Cool, huh?"
The tongue piercing was a simple metal stud, glinting in the light.
"It's..." Ryoken's still staring at his mouth. He swallows. "It's certainly interesting."
"Interesting," Takeru snorts, retracting his tongue, "You don't like it?"
"I did not say that," Ryoken hand brushes his mouth in thought, "It must've hurt."
"Oh, yeah. Nothing I couldn't handle," okay he might've been boasting a little.
"Doesn't it feel...odd?"
"Only at first. I got used to it," and then because he has no brain to mouth filter he blurts out, "Wanna feel it?"
A beat passes. Takeru's face grows warm.
"Um, sorry that sounded--" "Yes."
Takeru's mouth snaps shut. Ryoken finally meets his gaze and, oh, his eyes are dark with an emotion Takeru can't place but it makes his insides flutter wildly.
Ryoken reaches out for him and cups his face, "May I?"
In lieu of a response, Takeru parts his lips and sticks out his tongue again, pulse beating erratically.
At first, Ryoken brings his thumb down on the round jewel, just a touch. His nail makes a little clacking sound when it meets the metal.
"It's cold..." He observes and, seemingly spurred on, rubs slow circles around it, brushing the sensitive flesh of Takeru's tongue. It's weird but not unpleasant and Takeru lets out a small noise at the back of his throat.
Ryoken's eyes snap to his. His cheeks are pink, too, highlighting his freckles.
"Did that hurt?"
No, Takeru wants to say, but Ryoken's thumb is still in his mouth, and he has the urge to bite down on it. He doesn't, but he does curl his tongue around it, rubbing the metal stud against the pad of Ryoken's finger; Ryoken's breath hitches and his hand twitches on his cheek, and okay, this has gone beyond simple curiosity (but it's never simple, with them).
Before he can grow even more flustered, Takeru grabs Ryoken's wrist and pulls his hand away. He swallows, hard, and tries not to think of Ryoken's fingers in his mouth; or his tongue, or something else.
"So, uh," his eyes flicker to the side and back, "Thoughts?"
Ryoken hums. He frees his wrist and his thumb brushes the corner of his mouth.
"It suits you, very much," he murmurs, closer, and his lips are curled in a very dangerous smirk. "But I would like a closer look."
[2021] My designs for Spectre, Miyu and Jin avatars !! (For Spectre's I just tweaked with his original design a bit)
I'm still fond of these, I should re-draw them sometime
Warum unbedingt Shiny Knarbon/Crimanzo? Es sieht aus wie das normale nur mit blauen Augen.
Ja, nun. Ich habe da so die Angewohnheit mir #Pokemon Teams für #YuGiOh Figuren zu überlegen. 🙈
Dabei habe ich mir in den Kopf gesetzt, dass Ryōken Kōgami aus #YuGiOhVRains ein Shiny Crimanzo hat, weil er auch so auffallend blaue Augen hat. 🙈🙈
Der Spitzname ist auch an Ryōkens Deck Thema angelehnt.
I'm catching up on YuGiOh! In addition to poking at Duel Links again, I'm also going to randomly dive into the YuGiOh! anime(s). Tonight we're live blogging Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains!
Sorry, not sorry.
Now watching S1xE1: Link into the VRAINS
Idk if there's any #YgoVrains fans out there who like reading live blogs (or ppl who like reading live blogs in general) I archived my #YuGiOhVrains live reaction recently and I just wanna share it with ppl
