Trapped and Dreaming Freedom

So I've been reading these two webtoons lately about female leads stuck in very toxic and unhealthy relationships (while being aware of it), and I'm loving every second of it!

If you know me, you know I just love a badass cool female lead and I also love seeing characters stuck in very difficult situations and watching how they use their brains and/or skills to get out of it, and both comics excel at these aspects!

First series is "Trapped", a comic about this taxi driver who got tangled by accident with a vampire who develops an obsession with both her and her blood after she manages to outsmart him a couple of times, something that hasn't happened to him in years.

It feels very "Tom and Jerry" with both characters trying to get the upper hand on their relationship, and you would think it would be super one-sided but vampires actually have quite a bit of annoying rules on how they work that severely limit their freedom and our female lead exploits as many of them as she can to make him eat sh*t! It's just glorious!

"Dreaming Freedom" is... somehow less dark, and at the same time way darker of a series.

It's not as violent or gory but it deals with more realistic problems that hit closer to home for some like school bullying, abandonment, harassment, family abuse, and so on.

The premise is that our female lead teams up with a guy that has the power to use dreams to affect people in the real world, and they use this ability to get revenge on all the girl's classmates that harassed her, but the more our female lead does that, more the male lead gets obsessed with her and we later find out that he has some serious anger issues making him extremely dangerous.

Our lead basically goes from "I can use him to get payback!" to "Oh my God, I'm the only thing that's keeping this dude under control and away from people!"

It feels like you're being handed a living knife that you just pray won't run out of control or turn itself against you. It's so uncomfortable but at the same time so thrilling!

While I really don't like when unhealthy relationships are glamorized and used to send some kind of "Oh, he's kinda dangerous... But at least he loves you, so it's okay, right?" message, I do like it when the unhealthiness of the relationship is the focus AND is painted as a problem that needs to be fixed.

I like how both female leads always call the male leads on their bs and keep them in check whenever they start going too far, and it's fun to see how they use them whenever they're backed into a corner by the antagonists of the stories.

Also like the themes these series explore, about how when you keep dealing with people that act like monsters you see yourself slowly turning into a monster yourself and start to attract other monsters as well, eventually making you question how far can you go? How far should you go? Can you get back from it? And so on.

But most of all, I like that both series make sure to show that these "bad boys" were their last freaking options. Not the first, not the second, but the very bottom of the barrel. They went to them only after they felt they had no other choices and were sure that nobody else would take their side.

This isn't just "Oh, I went to him because he's a hot bad boy", this is "The world turned its back on me so I'm gonna use the only cards that I have left."

They basically made a deal with their devils and now the fun is watching to see how/if they're gonna get out of it.

This is how I like to see problematic relationships. You don't paint them as something normal or something good, you paint them as a hardship that needs to be dealt with and use it to do clever commentary on the worst aspects of humanity so we can learn how to be better and as a source for good and intense drama to make us worried for the main characters and invested in seeing them get out okay.

Heyo, I got it done finally. Never mind the lack of backgrounds. Please reblog and leave notes for me to adoringly not know how to respond to.

EDIT- This has already circulated quite a lot already, but I added a line that I accidentally cut.

Commentary under the cut to avoid clutter.

I had gotten thinking about Avatar the Last Airbender when Zuko confronted Ozai during the eclipse invasion. Zuko gave a little speech, and I took that, made some alterations, and that's what this is.

This also expresses my desire for Hunter to be able to do magic now, because Flapjack is still there, just in a slightly different way.

The fully animated bit was honestly just supposed to be two frames, but I made some posing whoopsies and apparently fixing that required animation. Don't question my logic, it worked out in the end. I'll make a dedicated post for it later, so keep an eye out for that. I just want this to gain some traction first.

IN YOUR ARMS

~~~

Asking them to lift you with one hand so you can sit on their forearm <3

gn!reader + diluc, itto, kazuha, established relationships

warnings: fluff, reader is smaller than them

:readmore:

~~~

Diluc

- He is surprised at your request but you look so exited, its impossible for him to say no

- No struggle for him at all, he bends down, asks you to hold on to his neck and with one motion you are lifted up and pressed close to the red head

- What he didn't anticipate was the amount of praise spilling in his direction, crowned with a kiss on his cheek

- A glare at your direction, trying to hide his fluster while you giggle at him, he realizes you are at a perfect distance to kiss

- You may stay on his arm for a while

~~~

Itto

- The guy is so excited! And of course doesn't niss the opportunitiy to boast about his strenght

- You should have clarified what you meant tho, because now you are dangling from under his arm like a sack of potatoes

- He sees your pout, puts you down and asks what did he do wrong. He is so worried inside that he screwed up

- When you explain you wanted to sit on his arm, not hang from it, he scoops you right up, no warnings, you barely have time to loop your legs around his torso

- As you come to your sences from the sudden movement (and the embarassing yelp you let out) , Itto's other hand is proudly on his hips, having the biggest grin, demanding a reward

- You guess he deserves a kiss

~~~

Kazuha

- You were half joking, but you're a fool if you think Kazuha would pass up an opportunity to be close to you

- But not before the right amount of teasing. Just gently nuging you and asking what novel did you find this idea in

- The task prooves harder than it seems, not because of his lack of strenght, but for the fact that he can't get enough of your flustered face while he stands close and slowly loops his arm around you

- He takes your hand himself to put around his neck, giving it a kiss when it rests on his shoulder

- You are about to bail on this when he gently hoists you up and you grab onto his clothes

- If you didn't look like a tomato yet, you surely do now, him gazing up at you like you are the sun

- Even before he could say anything to tease you further, you decide to shut him up with a kiss. Let's not mention that this was your plan all along

Genshin Men Being Jealous

Pairing: Kaeaya, Diluc, Childe, Dottore, Pantalone, Itto, Zhongli x Reader

Tags: fluff, hugs, possessiveness (Dottore, Itto and Zhongli), scratches, hickies, kissing, slightly suggestive content

A/N: I love all of them but Dottore and Itto are really doing things to my mind.

Kaeya isn't normally the jealous one. He's always the guy others are jealous of so to be on the other end of it is odd for him. He would try not to let it show too much though, can't let it crack his suave image after all. What he would do is put his hand on your lower back, casually rubbing soothing circles and looking at you with the most dreamy look, just a bit of mischief gleaming there before he fixes his icy gaze at whoever was chatting you up.

Diluc is a little insecure about his relationship in the beginning so he used to get jealous a lot. He would hate when he would let it show a lot, an embarrassed blush spreading across his face whenever he would take you by the hand and guide you somewhere hidden away from view to kiss you breathless and leave you panting. He'd hug you close and apologize for his behavior, not expecting you to kiss him back and telling him he has nothing to be sorry for, you like this more forward side of him, but in the future he's welcome to talk if there's something bothering him.

Childe never expected to get jealous over anything other than someone being stronger than him. But when he saw so many people openly flirting with you, right in front of him no less, his blood definitely boiled for a fight. Yet he decided against it, he could prove his worth of you in a slightly different way. He would come up behind you and lean in close, his lips tickling your ear, telling you how beautiful you look that night and it'd be a shame if someone were to ruin your outfit. The blush on your face would rival the color of his mask you you drag him away from the others, Childe not missing the opportunity to smirk triumphantly at the group that was talking to you.

Dottore isn't good with jealousy, he firmly believes you're his and his alone. When he's jealous you know someone's gonna get hurt. Not you of course, but the person or people he happens to be jealous of. You however will get a very... thorough reminder of who you belong to. He will make sure every inch of you is covered with the proof of his claim on you. Of course over the course of it he's gonna make you say that you're his, he wants to hear you say it over and over to make sure you unerstand.

Pantalone is a little more subtle with his jealousy. He'll stare at you for a while from across the room before approaching you slowly. He'd wrap his arms around your shoulders and kiss the top your head, your ears and your neck. He doesn't make of those spicy, merely teasing you and making sure to keep you close for the rest of the night. He doesn't glare at anyone, nor does he threaten anyone. Just keeps his arms around you at all times, giving you kisses here and there. But what you don't know is that he also makes sure to make eye contact with who ever was flirting with you every time he kisses you.

Itto gets very pouty when he sees someone touching in a flirty way or making flirty remarks at you. He'd somewhat angerly stomp his way over to you and pull you in close, almost growling at the person who was flirting with you. You blush very hard whenever you hear him growl and you hide your face in his muscular chest as you ask him to take you home. While you walk you always loop your arm with his and he can't help but smirk at you. As soon as you sit on the bed he'd pull you into his lap and kiss you, lightly nibbling onto your bottom lip as he murmurs his love and appreciation for you.

Zhongli tries to maintain his stoic expression a lot and most of the time he's successful at doing so. There are times when he slips though, rare times but they can happen. During such times he will sort of hover around you, casting you not so subtle glances and touching your lower back as he passes by. When you're alone he'd press you against the door and lower his head onto your shoulder, his breath causing goosebumps to appear all over your skin. The gasp you let out when his fangs and claws come into play and he leaves you panting and scratched up is exhilarating to him, not that he will admit it most of the time but he is quite territorial, especially with you, his greatest treasure.

genshin men x love at first sight

characters included: ayato, zhongli, childe, itto, xiao. <3

ayato: man? he is so mesmerised!! how the hell can someone as stunning as you even real? he always is looking out for the finer things in life, he is spoiled enough so he thinks he deserves it <3 he is the head of the clan am i right? :V so when he crosses paths with you on one of his journeys outside inazuma, he is stunned. stopping between his path and walking towards you, “excuse me, i don’t mean to be creepy, or won’t even be the slightest of daring and audacious… but what is your name?” the sincerity in his voice is so genuine that it feels natural. “y/n” you mumble. ayato swears his heart can’t take it, the way your voice echoed over and over in his head, damn!

zhongli: he first saw you when he was out as wangshang funeral parlor’s consultant. somebody had died in your household, what a grim vibe and atmosphere. he almost feels guilty for not being able to take his eyes off you. how you look devastated only makes him imagine over and over how gorgeous would your smile look. would you get dimples? do you smile with your eyes? he can’t keep that sight out of his mind. zhongli had a reputation throughout liyue, for the first time he was thankful for it, the opportunity to have a one-on-one with you. it could be something meagre, like his condolences of course! “greetings, i am here to offer my sincerest condolences for your loss, it must be truly painful,” he softly spoke, kissing your knuckles like a gentleman. “i know how it feels to lose your kin, your dear ones…” he continued, and somehow you could find the tranquility in his voice that you just needed<3

childe: you were at the northland bank for some transactions, and childe swears he hasn’t ever seen you before. how dare you miss his eyes? he looked at you and for a moment, malfunctioned 💀✨ you could swear he was speechless, absolutely stunned. “h-hey girlie,” he blushed, grinning at you with a chaotic, tooth rotting sweetness of a smile. “hello, childe,” you spoke. he was famous in liyue, for good and bad reasons. it was normal for you to know him hence, but boy! oh boy?!!?! childe never expected that :3 “you know my name?” he raised a brow, widening eyes and clearing throat to gain composure, “uh…” he smirked, turning on his charm switch and leaned closer, “it’s only fair i know yours,” the rest is history 🥰 ok? ok.

itto: he saw you when he was running from the kanjou commission, (his story quest get the gist pls) -,- he wanted to find beetles to fight with, but he laid his eyes on you. you were there, picking lavender melons. for the first time he felt an emotion that was… weird! his heart started racing, cheeks dusted red, “oh my god oh my god oh my god-” he looked at you like an excited kid, “GOD DAMN!” he groaned, watching you intently, completely forgetting about the onikabuto battle ok? and that’s saying something 😤 “tell ya what these bigger ones are actually the worse, they taste like shiiit~” he interrupted you, grinning and giddy. let’s just say you got a great friend that day, and an even greater boyfie xoxo

xiao: the yaksha basically rescued you from a group of samachurls. “worthless,” you hear him utter with absolute rage, absolute ruthlessness and the unflinching determination to slay. you noticed it took him mere seconds to finish them off. then he finally saw you, normally he doesn’t even remember the face of every civilian or a non-adventurer traveller that he saves. but to you? he comes closer and asks, “are you hurt?” you had a few scratches, nothing too serious. but boy were you traumatized. you shivered, shaking head no and quivering lips. it was then the alatus spoke, “i will protect you, always. don’t fear these monsters, just say my name and i’ll be there. my name is xiao,”

ZHONGLI —

Fighting with him is like talking to a brick wall. He’s stubborn and refuses to actually talk about the situation seeing as he’d much rather just “let it pass”. But you were so tired of that. You were so tired of just “letting things pass” because, at the end of the day, so many problems went unresolved. He lacked communication and he acted so nonchalant about whatever argument you two had gotten into.

This new argument, though, made you reach your limit. You can’t exactly remember what caused this argument- which usually tends to happen- but you just know that you were fed up, growing more and more irritated by the minute due to his lack of compassion.

“You’re making a big deal out of nothing, y/n,” Zhongli states, taking yet another sip of his tea which made your eye twitch. “Nothing? Seriously? If it was ‘nothing’ then maybe this argument wouldn’t have even occurred!” you exclaimed, throwing your hands in the air, huffing as you looked at him with wide eyes.

He only stared back at you for a second before sighing and taking yet another sip of his tea.

Your shoulders drooped in defeat, your own eyes closing as you brought your fingers to pinch the bridge of your nose. You took a few deep breaths in attempts to calm yourself down from the boiling anger than stirred in the pit of your chest.

You turned around, no longer facing him as you sighed. Eyes still closed, hoping that the tears that threatened to fall wouldn’t escape. You were tired- tired from all the arguing, tired of the one sidedness, tired of his lack of care for your relationship.

“I’m.. I’m gonna go. I’m tired of this,” you spoke, voice shaking as you fought to detain the sobs that scratched at the back of your throat. You couldn’t find it in yourself to continue to fight for your relationship, and all you wanted to do was go for a walk to clear your head.

But Zhongli didn’t see it that way.

‘I’m gonna go’ replayed in his mind over and over again. His amber eyes followed your sullen figure that walked towards the door. Was this really it? Were you finally tired of him? Is this your way of finally forgetting about him?

He couldn’t have that. He couldn’t have you leave. He wouldn’t be able to function without you. Who would make his tea in the mornings and afternoons? Who would hold onto his arm as he walked through the streets of Liyue? Who would greet him with soft, gentle kisses when he arrived home from the funeral parlor? Who would tell him they love him? Who would he make more memories with?

It had to be you; it needs to be you. You were the only one who he truly saw forever with. You were the finest gem in his eyes. You were what he treasured most. He would set aside Liyue if it meant he’d get to be with you. You were- no- you are his everything. He wouldn’t stand to live without the one he found true happiness and love with. You were the only one who let him feel like there were no contracts, no bindings that had to be kept, no secrets, no settlements. You gave him genuine and unconditional love, and all he has ever wanted was to do the same for you.

But it seems now that he’s ruined that as he fights his body to stand from his seat to stop you from leaving your shared home.

Before he can even blink, before your hand even touches the handle of the door, he finds himself wrapping his hand around yours. His fingers desperately intertwine with yours, and finally pulls you closer to him.

Your back is pressed against his chest, his face buried in the crook of your neck. He brings his other arm to wrap around your waist. He lifts his head slightly, the hand that held yours brought up to his lips. He places a soft, but tender kiss to your skin.

At this point, you’re unsure of what to do. Your mind tells you to push him off, but your heart aches to hold him in your own arms. The battle of your thoughts comes to an end when you hear his voice.

“Please… Please don’t leave me. If you go, you’ll forget me and I.. I don’t think I can live with that,” Zhongli’s voice trembles. His tone is quiet and timid but is laced with longing. You don’t respond, instead you close your eyes, still unsure of what to do.

“I’m sorry, y/n. I’m sorry for never communicating how I feel whenever we fight. I’m sorry for brushing it off instead of working with you to fix it. I just,” he pauses, taking a deep breath to soothe his own nerves before turning you around in his arms so that you are face to face with him.

Your gaze rises to meet his. His amber eyes, glossed over and apologetic, stared back at you. Just with that look, you knew he was being sincere. His expression told you everything, but he still wanted you to hear it from himself.

“I love you too much to see you leave. I figured that if we just let the arguments and the tension pass, we could still be happy. I thought it would help to avoid us falling apart… But I was mistaken. I will do better for us.. For you. I’ll even make a contract with-“

You stop him with a kiss. Your lips molding perfectly together like the last piece to a puzzle.

For what seemed like eternity, you finally pulled away. You look up at him once more, your hand going to cup his cheek as a small smile forms on your lips.

“There’s no need for a contract, Zhongli. There never was and never will be. I don’t want to fight either, but we both have to work together. A relationship doesn’t involve a ‘you do this so then this will happen’ situation. It involves love, compassion, care, communication, and trust. I love you, and I don’t ever want to leave your side,” you take a breath, letting out an airy laugh. “In truth, I just wanted to go for a walk to clear my head. I never thought of leaving you for good.”

You give him a sincere smile, gently caressing his cheek with your thumb, brushing away the single tear that slipped from his eye.

He sighs in relief, his body relaxing, but still holding you close in his embrace. “I love you, y/n. You shine like gold in my eyes.”

“And I love you, Zhongli. You are, and always will be, my favorite memory.”

TARTAGLIA —

Whenever you two argue, he always finds a way to make a snarky comment that makes your blood boil. He’ll make snide remarks, almost mocking your anger. He’ll even makes cruel jokes if the situation was really heated. It was frustrating- toxic, even, but somehow you both had always found a way to make amends.

But this time didn’t show any signs of a resolution. This time, the argument had been going on for hours. You had started just before sunset, and now the stars in the night sky were hidden away amongst the darkness.. Just like the hope you had for your relationship.

“So you mean to tell me that I’m crazy for thinking you were with some random person, out and about on the streets of Liyue, instead of being at the Northland Bank doing paperwork?” you shouted, almost laughing in disbelief. You know what you saw, and you saw your boyfriend with another person in his arms. He had smiled at them, that same smile he always gave you every morning. It broke your heart to see someone, that wasn’t you, receiving the attention that you thought was exclusive just for you.

“What? Can you not hear me? Or do I need to slow things down for you? Jeez, y/n, the craziness really is getting to you,” he answered, a sly smirk spread across his face, seemingly proud of getting on your nerves. You looked at him, eyebrows knit together as you sucked your teeth, shocked at the mere fact that your boyfriend was standing before you calling you crazy. “At a loss for words? That’s alright, I’ll be waiting here while you cool off. Let the craziness subside and-“

You didn’t allow him to finish his sentence when the palm of your hand collided with the side of his face. A rather loud smack echoing in his ears.

He brought his hand to his stinging cheek, taken aback by your sudden hostility, but he kept his cool. You and him both knew you were never one to raise your hand at anyone, so this truly caught him by surprise as it did to you. But just as he did, you regained your composure, bringing your finger to his chest.

“Don’t… Don’t ever try to gaslight me. I know what I fucking saw. I know I saw you being a disloyal bastard, Tartaglia,” you seethed, your tone an eerie contrast to your shouts from earlier. It was dripping with venom, and it made his body begin to crumble with anxiety. You always called him Ajax or an endearing nickname, but the use of his harbringer name was what made him look at you with wide eyes, similar to that of a deer in headlights. You only ever used that name when he really angered you, which was rare. But you had used it now, and it seemed that- in this moment- there was no way for him to redeem himself as your lover.

You backed away from him, your eyes narrowing and shooting daggers at him before turning around and heading straight for the door.

But he was faster than you, rushing to grab your wrist and pulling you back to him. You writhed and fought to get him away from you, punching at his chest. Though, your hits began to weaken as cries and sobs filled the air. You demanded he let you go, begged him to leave you be, and cried that you wanted him to go away.

Ajax let you cry and scream at him, he let you vent out all the cruel things you wanted to say to him, but he didn’t loosen his hold on you. He didn’t want to. He never wanted to let you go because every time you walked out on him he always feared that you would never come back. And you always came back to him.

Why? Because you loved him more than anything, and he loved you just the same. No matter how infuriating and tiring these arguments were, you both always found your way back to each other even if you tried running away. He was always so grateful to have you back home with him in his arms, and he swore to never let you go. And he meant that with every fiber of his being.

You were the only person who made him feel like he was enough, who filled that emptiness in his chest that he had felt since he was a child. You were the light at the end of his tunnel. You were what made him believe that he was a good guy, and not the monster he was raised to be.

“Y/n, please… Please don’t leave again. I can’t stand seeing you walk out that door every time we fight. I hate it. I fucking hate it because… Because I fear that one day you’ll never come home,” he pauses, swallowing down his pride and putting his walls down just for you. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have joked around with you. I should never try to make jokes during something so serious. I shouldn’t have called you crazy because, you’re right, you aren’t crazy. But I swear to you, y/n, it truly wasn’t what you thought it was.”

Your crying falters at his last sentence, eyes opening to look at his. You notice the tears that streamed down his cheeks, the way his lips quivered ever so slightly as he tried to refrain from sobbing. “Then what… What was it?” you asked, your voice hoarse and just barely above a whisper.

He looks you right in the eye, a serious and sincere expression cascaded over his features. “I was at the Northland Bank doing paperwork, but then I decided to take a break and head into town to get something to eat. I didn’t realize that you were going to be out either, but it just so happened that you were there when the person who was ordering food in front of me turned to leave with their food and tripped. I caught them so they wouldn’t hit the ground and drop all the food they had just paid for,” he pauses once again, letting out a nervous and airy chuckle.

“It sounds silly and ridiculous, but I promise you that’s what happened. I wasn’t trying to gaslight you, but I know I shouldn’t have called you crazy. I would never even think of giving my love or attention to another. I only ever want you, y/n.”

His voice cracked during his last sentence, more tears forming in his desperate eyes that searched for a response in yours. His explanation did sound ridiculous, but it made sense and you knew he was being honest. You turned away from him once more, trying to regain your thoughts. But he needed an answer from you, worried with every second that passed that he was losing you.

“Please say something,” he begged quietly, his hold on you tightening just a bit. He hoped that his touch would keep your heart close to his. You took a deep breath, your watery eyes watching as your hand laid on top of his. “I believe you, Ajax.”

Relief washed over him, his tears spilling from his eyes once again as soft, muffled apologies, ‘thank you’s and ‘i love you’s fell from his trembling lips. You turned around in his arms so that you were fully facing him, allowing him to bury his face in your chest as he continued to cry. You rubbed soothing circles against his shaking shoulders.

You knew he loved you, and he knew that you loved him. No matter how many times the both of you would fight, you always managed to be right back in each other’s arms. You were his forever, and he was yours forever.

ITTO —

You and Itto rarely fought. Most times, your relationship was in tact; happy and healthy. But in those rare moments that the both of you did fight, Itto’s pride got in the way, making him act like he could never do anything wrong. He would come off as arrogant, which falsely amused and angered you.

Neither of you were sure how this fight escalated this quickly, but neither of you admitted defeat. Whatever it was that you both were arguing about, you knew you were in the right, but Itto had felt the same for himself in this situation.

“How could you say that, y/n? That’s completely unfair!” he proclaimed, rollings his eyes as he threw his hands in the air. Your arms crossed over your chest, a sarcastic laugh leaving past your lips, “Unfair? You know what’s unfair, Itto? The fact that you always think you never do anything wrong! I’m standing here, trying to explain to you why you upset me, but- oh, no! How could the great Arataki Itto ever do anything wrong?”

It was his turn to laugh, turning away from you as he rubbed his chin. “Real funny, y/n. How can you explain something that I’d never do, hm? You know I’d never try to purposely upset you-“

“And there it is!” you let out, amused by his lack of awareness. He gave you a questioning look, and you answered, “You’d never try to purposely upset me, yes, that’s true. But you never ever try to think about the fact that there are times where you unintentionally do hurt me! I know you, Itto. I know you always try to be good to me, and I appreciate that, but god! Your stupid Oni pride gets in the fucking way! It goes straight inside that thick skull of yours. You never fail to make others happy, but you also never fail to disappoint me.”

His expression changed at your words. His eyebrows furrowed, his gaze dropping to the floor, his lips forming into a frown. He was at a loss for words, trying to wrap his head around the fact that ‘he never failed to disappoint you’. It made his heart ache, it was like he could feel his heart crack. “I… I disappoint you?” he asked, his usual confident tone now sullen and timid.

Your eyes widened at his sudden change in demeanor, your arms falling to your sides as you stared at his deflated figure. You watched as his clenched fists relaxed, but not in the way that you hoped. You could sense the sadness that radiated from him. Knowing that, as an Oni, Itto did have a lot of pride, but most of it was because he was raised that way so that people would respect him. That same Oni pride was what also urged him to be generous, compassionate, and sincere to those around him- especially you.

He loved you. He loved you so much that he could never express it enough in words. He always told you he loved you, he even told you through his actions. Whether that be things as simple as holding the door open for you or something as intimate as holding you close to him at night as he whispered sweet nothings into your ear to help you fall asleep. That same Oni pride urged him to be the best lover for you, to be the one who protected you from harm’s way, to be the one that you could go to when you felt disheartened and hurt. He wanted to be everything and more for you.

But how could he be that if he never failed disappoint you?

You took a step closer to him, but he didn’t seem to notice as his gaze was still glued to the floor. Your words played over and over again in his mind, almost screaming back at him in his ears. But you wanted to silence them.

You grabbed his hand in your own, cautiously closing the distance between the both of you. “Itto, I,” you began, your voice quiet and gentle. “I didn’t mean that. You’re not a disappointment, okay? You never are to me. I said that out of frustration, but I shouldn’t have said it at all. I’m so sorry, Itto.” You brought your free hand to his cheek, lifting his face so you could properly look at him.

Your face softened, cupping his cheek as you gave him an apologetic and loving smile. You saw his tear stained cheeks, making tears of your own brim your eyes. “I’m so sorry,” you whispered, pulling him into a hug. You felt him slowly wrap his own arms around you before you felt the shaking of his shoulders against your body. You squeezed him gently, rubbing his back to soothe him. “I love you so much, Itto. I love you for you and I love everything you do for me. I appreciate everything you do for me. I’m so sorry, my love. I know I can’t take back what I said, but I promise you that I don’t ever see you as a disappointment.”

You hear your boyfriend sniffle before feeling him pull away slightly, his arms still holding you. He looks at you, and it was like looking at a puppy who was begging for forgiveness and love. You attempted to stifled a chuckle, but you couldn’t help it, he just looked too precious. His eyebrows knit together, his mouth forming into a small pout. “Why are you laughing? You just hurt my feelings,” he mumbled, looking back down. But you brought his eyes back to yours, placing a small kiss against his nose. “You’re so cute, I can’t help it.”

His demeanor once again changed, back to the same old Arataki Itto. The Itto that was confident and boisterous. He puffed his chest out, looking at you with this endearing look of determination, only earning more laughter from you.

“I’m not cute, I’m sexy!” he paused, his expression softening to a gentler one, a soft smile tugging at his lips, “But I love you too. I always have and I always will… Even if you do call me cute when you know I’m obviously the cool, sexy type.”
