It’s dark when Haku opens his eyes. He’s sitting on a bench outside; classes are finished for the day and all Haku can feel is the slight breeze of a warm summer night.

Haku lets out a soft sigh, resting his eyes as he relaxes onto the bench. The wind feels quite nice against his face tonight and it provides him a small break from this hectic day.

First, he had class in the morning and then a student from Hotarubi asked him for help on an urgent problem. After dealing with that, he got roped in to do a long, and unwanted, task for Professor Moby. Finally, way past noon, he headed towards Hotarubi’s reception room, meeting up with Subaru, Zenji, and you.

Ah, yes. Hotarubi had a mission they were assigned to, now he remembers. He remembers discussing the facts of the case and going over any precautions when encountering this mission’s anomaly. He remembers getting on the Galaxy Express with everyone and heading toward their designation. He remembers entering the dusty building, your hand grabbing the hem of his shirt for security and comfort. He remembers pulling you in closer towards him as he leads you through the area and–

Wait. What was he doing after that?

Haku’s eyes shot wide open. Why is he at Darwick? Looking around his surroundings, he fails to spot any students walking nearby. It’s strange. It isn’t that late for no one to be around. There should be people here.

Suddenly, a shriek erupts in front of him and there you stand on the grassy field. Except you don’t look like anything you did when he last saw you.

Your neck and hands are now covered in flowers and thorns. Some pieces of your uniform are ripped from the sudden intrusion of flowers. The vines quickly spread up your arm as more petals sprout out of them and you scream as your tear-filled eyes meet him.

“A-Ah! Haku! Help, please. Please, h-help me! I’m scared…I’m so scared…The curse!”

Haku’s throat goes dry as he hears your sobbing pleas. Hand automatically extending out towards you, he shouts, “Princess!” 

He attempts to get up, run towards you with all his might so he can try anything to ease your pain, but suddenly, a strange, unknown voice stops him in his tracks.

“They look like they’re in a lot of pain…Do you blame yourself?”

Haku’s sight focuses on you, wondering if you were the one who spoke to him, “W-What?” But this isn’t your voice and now you’re on your knees, hunched over on the ground as you yell out in anguish.

“Well, it’s quite common for people in this situation to feel some sort of guilt.” 

The voice is behind him now and Haku turns around to look for the source. He knows he should rush to you, to aid you, but if this voice is worsening your curse, he wants to deal with it. Yet, in the dark surrounding, he can’t see, or feel, anything. 

Haku yells into the night, “What?! What situation are you talking about?”

A mocking snicker rings through Haku’s ear as whatever he’s talking to laughs at him, “Don’t you see? Look at them. The curse. They’re being consumed by it. It’s your fault and you should feel guilty about it.”

A sudden pressure forces Haku to turn to face you again. You’re writing in pain. Several more flowers have erupted from your body since the last time he saw you. He hears cries of how your whole body hurts, how incredibly itchy everything is, and now you’re scratching at your arms for any sort of relief.

Haku absolutely hates to see you like this. He anguishes seeing you in so much agony and he can’t do anything about it anymore. He’s too late. A year has already come by since you first were forced to this school. A year since he personally brought you to this school.

“A-Ah...It’s right…That voice. It’s right. This is all my fault. It’s all my fault that you’re suffering right now!”

He dashes towards your curled body, whatever force that was stopping him before seems to have disappeared. 

Reaching you, Haku crouches down beside you. You shake as the pain of the curse overwhelms your mind and calls of his name fill his ears. His hand shakingly reaches for your back, “Princess! I’m here! I’m–”

Sorry. 

That’s all he can say right now. All Haku can think about is apologizing and begging for your forgiveness. What could he possibly do in this situation? Kyklos’ curse is already fully in effect. He’s not strong enough. Him and what powers?

“Dammit!” Haku’s head hangs low as he yells out in frustration, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry for not breaking your curse. I’m sorry for not doing more! I should’ve helped more. I should’ve been beside you more. I should’ve taken care of you more. I should’ve–”

He shifts his attention towards you as your cries abruptly fade and a silence replaces it. Haku stills, horror and anxiety filling his mind. Hand still shaking, he moves his head towards you, just to make sure he can hear your breathing.

Quiet murmurs flow out of your mouth and Haku prays for a miracle. 

“It…Isn’t…”

Fully bloomed flowers still continue to sprout out of your back yet instead of screams, your voice rises to repeat the same sentence. 

“It isn’t your fault. It isn’t your fault. It isn’t your fault.”

Haku slightly shifts away from you, your repeated mantra startling him, “W-What? But I-”

You suddenly lift up your face to look at him. Your face is in disarray. Multiple red and purple florals cover one of your eyes. They reach the back of your hair and wrap around your neck. Your other eye, though empty of any flowers, is bloodshot and wet as tears continue to fall down your cheek. Small self-inflicted scratches from your nails paint your face. 

Yet, there you are, adorning a soft smile just for him. 

Haku’s heart sinks seeing you like this. Nobody should be subject to this curse; especially you, his inspector, his princess. Though happy to see your smile, he saddens at the thought of you putting on a smile to make him feel better. He should be the one to make you feel better in this situation.

His voice quivers, “Why? Why are you smiling? I-I couldn’t save you…”

“Haku…” you reach out to cup his cheeks with both of your hands, “It isn’t your fault.”

Drops of tears fall from Haku’s eyes as you speak those words. As they fall down his face, you use your thumbs to wipe them off. Even though no one freed you from the curse, not even Darwick, or the other ghouls, or even him, you still chose to not blame anyone. 

“It isn’t your fault…So, get out of here, Haku. I know you’re stronger than this.”

“What–”

Suddenly, his body tips backward and his back hits the ground. Darkness envelops him, dizziness instantly hits his head as your flowery scent starts to disappear. Closing his eyes, nothing but the sound of your voice fills his mind. 

“Haku…”

“Haku.”

“Haku!”

Eyes jolting open, Haku faces three familiar faces. You, Zenji, and Subaru stare at him, face contorted with worry. Vision still blurry and back aching, Haku lets out a small groan.

“My friend!” Zenji’s voice rings in Haku’s ear, “I’m glad you woke up!”

Subaru lets out a long sigh of relief, “Thank goodness you are safe. We were all worried.”

“Haku…” 

At the sound of your voice, Haku’s head turns to face you. There you are, no hints of the curse manifesting in sight except an anxious look on your face.

Are those small tears in your eyes?

“I’m glad you’re okay. All of us got hit by that anomaly’s hallucination ability but you were the last one to wake up. I’m so relieved you’re unharmed.”

“Yeah…Thanks Princess, you helped me get out of there…” 

“I did?!”

Haku lets out a small chuckle at your exacerbated expression. Yet, it dies down as he takes in what you said, “What hallucinations did you all experience?”

Eyes widening at his question, you turn your head away from him, avoiding his eyes, “O-Oh nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Abruptly standing up, you dodge his question, “We should get going now. Who knows if we’ll get hit with another hallucination.”

Haku turns to look at Subaru and Zenji with confusion. Both shrug at your avoidance.

“When I found them, they were mumbling your name,” Subaru answers, “I tried asking too but they didn’t answer. Seems like it was a bad one, though.”

Haku sighs as he swats the dust off his clothes, “We probably all got bad hallucinations thanks to that anomaly.” Moving to get up with the help of Subaru, Haku looks at your retreating form.

Shit! You’re already 30 minutes late to your meet up with Lyca.

What was going to be a quick trip to the library turned into a full blown conversation with Rui. You had initially gone to check out a book about curses, which unfortunately for you, was too high up for you to reach. Struggling as you reached out for it, Rui arrived at the perfect time to help you. Appearing behind you, he made conversation about curses and the book, and talking with him made you lose track of time.

Heaving as you attempt to catch your breath, you reach for the handle to the door to Obscuary and it opens with a small push. Lyca did tell you he’ll keep the front door unlocked. You step indoors, locking the door behind you, and you head up the stairs towards Lyca’s room. 

Knock Knock.

You knock on Lyca’s door, wishing to get permission before entering, but what greets you is an empty room as the door opens by itself. 

Hm? Where’s Lyca? Maybe he went downstairs or to the bathroom while he waited for me… 

Stepping inside, you hope he doesn’t mind your intrusion. You observe his room. His bed is made, except for his blanket, and there’s no clothes on the floor. It’s quite tidier than you imagined and you can’t help but wonder if he cleaned up specifically for you.

You walk up to his drawer and on top of it lies his sketchbook and some pencils. The sketchbook is opened up and you pick it up. Drawings of both you and Lyca fill the page. You remember this day; the two of you decided to have a stay-at-home hang out and ended up drawing each other while sitting at Rui’s Bar.

As you smile remembering the memory, someone envelops you from behind.

Sniff. Sniff. “Why do you smell like that Blond Gigolo?” Lyca grumbles behind your ear as he tightens his hug around you. Only his chest is pressed against you.

“L-Lyca!” You yelp as you drop the sketchbook back on top of his drawer, “You surprised me, I didn’t hear you come in at all!”

He ignores your comment, “Did you just see him before you came here? Is that why you were late?”

“Hm? Rui? Yeah, I did. He helped me grab a book from the library. I’m sorry for being so late.” You attempt to turn your head around to face him but his hold around you stops you from moving much.

Your arms are now extended to the drawer for support. Lyca isn’t fully pushing you against the drawer, yet, but you feel some forward pressure from his hug.

“Why does this part of you smell so much like him?”

You hear his voice slightly fade as he removes his lips near your ear. Shuffling is heard and you feel his face being pressed against your neck now.

“I-I told you. He was helping me get a book down from the library…” Your voice starts to die down as you feel the ghoul press soft kisses to the back of your neck.

“He helped you from behind? Like this?”

Suddenly, you feel him move closer towards you, pushing right up on you now. His semi-hard length is now pushing against your back, “A-Ah! Here, Lyca?” 

With his hold on you, Lyca pushes your hips back to meet his, “Is this how that Blonde Gigolo helped you? Why didn’t you ask for me to accompany you to the library?”

Finishing his questions with a slight pout, Lyca continues to softly rut against you. Spurred on by his antics, you start to feel hot too. His cock is still clothed but the small stimulation already makes the two of you feel warm.

He gives a slight gasp as you continue to help push back against him, “Shit. Can we do it, [Name]? Can we do it here? I don’t like it when you smell like him. I need to get rid of his smell off of you.”

Hearing his jealousy against Rui makes your heart flutter. Though you had feelings for Lyca, you weren’t sure if you simply saw you as a friend or even just a mentor-like figure. You didn’t know he wanted you this badly and now with the confirmation of his feelings, you want to show yours as well.

You nod, “Yeah, get rid of his smell for me.” So you start to lift up your skirt, exposing your panties as you start breathing heavier with anticipation, “Y-You can put it in between my thighs.”

Loosening his hold on you, Lyca moves his hands to his pants. You move to take off your own panties and you can already tell how wet you are by how it stuck to you. At the sound of his pants falling to the ground, you turn your head to look at him. His underwear is pushed to his knees and his cock is already in his hands as he gives it a few pumps, precum glistening at the tip. 

You continue to look at him as he goes back to pressing against you. Cock in hand, he guides it to your thighs and the slicks from his precum helps it slip right in between. His nose nestles right against your neck, arms wrapped around you again and he lets out a moan.

You squeeze your thighs closer together as he starts lightly thrusting back and forth.

Kissing the back of your neck, Lyca grunts, “You won’t smell like him anymore. I’ll make sure of it.”

He starts sloppily fucking harder against you and the force makes you hold onto the drawer for support. Looking down, you blush seeing the tip of his cock peeking from in between your thighs. His groans, his kisses on your neck and shoulder, and the stimulation of his cock rubbing against you results in whines falling out of your own mouth. 

Lyca’s grip on you tightens when you move your thighs against him. Your thighs are already so warm that he can’t wait to go further with you, “N-Next time, can I put it in you? Ngh…”

“Yes. Yes, of course. Next time we can do it on the bed too,” you turn your head to face him, “Kiss me, Lyca, please.”

A hand goes to cup your face and he presses his lips to yours. As you probe into his mouth, your tongue mixes with his. The kiss is rushed, probably due to him being close to cumming, but it helps to further chase his high.

Your thighs are completely soaked, arousal from the both of you mixing together. One of your hands reaches for his and you move it on top of your clothed chest. He gropes them while his pounds become more erratic. The sounds of the drawer creaking from his thrusts gets louder and the unabashed moans of Lyca become more frequent.

“Haah. Hah! Feels good. It feels so good–Ugh!”

Breaking the kiss, Lyca makes a strangled noise and buries his face against the back of your neck as he cums, painting your thighs and the drawer in front of you. He continues to slowly jerk his hips towards you for a few seconds until they come to a stop.

Aside from heavy breathing, the two of you stay silent as Lyca comes down from his high. Cock still in between your thighs, you feel his tongue licking the sweat around your neck. 

Subaru doesn’t even know how long this has been going on for.

The two of you were enjoying a nice cup of warm tea in Hotarubi’s reception room. Both of you have been so busy this entire week, having almost no instances to spend time together, so as the weekday came to an end, your boyfriend invited you to come over to relax. 

You sat across from Subaru, still in the school’s uniform as you rushed to come over the second your classes finished. Sipping the tea that Subaru served, the two of you make simple small talk. He talks about what he learned in Anomalous Biology while you retell the various missions you were sent on by Darkwick. Eventually, a quiet and comfortable silence envelopes the two of you. Subaru can’t help but think it’s always so relaxing when he’s with you.

Suddenly, you place your tea cup on the table. The sound makes Subaru look up from his cup to face you; you must be finished with your tea. 

Thinking you wish to head back home to your dorm, he speaks up, “Are you finished with your tea? Shall I walk you back to–”

“Subaru,” you cut him off with a call of his name. As he stops talking, you gently start to crawl over to where he’s sitting. “Subaru. Can I try something with you tonight?”

He quietly gulps as you now sit in front of him. What did you want to try? Yet, he simply nods his head to your question for now. 

You smile at his cute face as you reach to grab his hand, “Let’s go to your room.”

The two of you stand up, leaving your cups and plates on the desk. Subaru should technically clean up the mess right away but he’s curious of what you have planned. He hopes Haku doesn’t mind the clutter. 

As Subaru leads you to his room, his mind is full of questions and thoughts. What did you want to try with him? The two of you have just recently started dating; only having had a couple of, albeit intense, make out sessions. He starts to feel hot recalling the past intimate affairs.

You shut the door behind you as the two of you enter his room. Still having your hands interlocked, you pull him towards his bed and the both of you sit down on the edge. 

“Do you want to rest your back on the bed frame?”

Subaru nods, following your suggestion as he attempts to lay comfortably on the frame. Staring at you with a blush on his face, he stays quiet, waiting for you to explain what you’re planning. 

You nervously fidget with your hand, occasionally gripping his bed sheet to occupy your hands. “Do you—Um, I mean. Can I try playing with your dick?”

Subaru eyes widen at your request. Playing with it? What did you mean? 

“U-Um…What do you mean playing with it?”

An embarrassed laugh escapes your lips as you try to explain yourself, “What I mean is that, I don't know much about it and I want to try learning with you. Of course, if you don’t mind me…”

“Yes…” he whispers, a red flush further spreads across his face, “Yes, if you would like. Of course I would not mind.”

You give him a slightly too eager smile and nod. Truth be told, you’ve been wanting to do this for so long. Even before the two of you officially got together, images of you sucking his dick would occasionally pop into mind. Whenever he gave you a sweet smile or blush while complimenting you, you’d always dream what his beautiful face would look like when you had his dick in your hands and mouth.

“Okay. Just lay there. I’ll make you feel good.”

He gulps at your promise, his head already feeling hazy for what’s to come. 

With his legs slightly spread out, you go position yourself in between them. Hands reach for his pants and you look at him to see his reaction. 

Subaru is staring at you intently, watching your every move as you motion for him to lift up his hips a bit. He does so, helping you pull down his bottoms towards his thighs, leaving him in just his boxers. 

Reaching for his boxers, Subaru shudders as you pull out his cock. Half-hard dick finally out of his confines, he lets out a small gasp when your hand gently grips his cock. Bringing your face closer to it, you give a tentative small lick on his tip and he moans.

“A-Ah!” Subaru whips a hand to cover his mouth trying not to make too much noise; he was still in his dorm after all. Warmth starts to spread throughout his body as you start swirling your tongue around the slit of his cock.

Glancing up through your lashes you coo, “It might take a while for me to learn. I hope you don’t mind.”

Subaru doesn’t have time to respond as you go back to slowly licking up his shaft. You use the hand holding his length to slowly stroke his base, using his dripping precum as lubricant. 

You look so gorgeous right now. In between his legs with his cock in your mouth. Everything feels so much more intense and real and he bites his bottom lips from making more sounds.

But it’s no use. Subaru’s muffled whines and shallow gasps start to loudly fill his room. You continue to slightly bob your head, teasing only his tip. You moan as he lightly thrusts into your mouth and the vibrations further stimulate him. He must have already been sensitive as his orgasm is quick to approach.

“I-I’m cumming!” Subaru whines, trembling as he grips his bed sheets for some support.

You don’t stop your movements, continuing to softly move your hands up and down his shaft while occasionally giving small licks near his tip. 

With a twitch of his dick, Subaru cums, spurting his liquid in front, onto the bed. It’s wet and messy, soaking into his sheets. A few drops land on your hand and you move it to your mouth to lick it off. He groans seeing you lick your fingers. 

Using your other hand to pump his length a few times as he comes down from his high, you give him a small grin, “Can you go again?”

-

Subaru looks fucked out of his mind. Slight tears develop at the ends of his eyes as the overstimulation fully kicks in. His arms are limp by his sides and he dizzily stares at your actions.

He thinks he’s already cummed twice? Maybe three times now. But you don’t seem to care; you look so happy and captivated by his dick right now. 

He’s out of breath, panting and light-headed, and he can’t properly hear what you’re saying. All he can make out is a few ‘So that’s how I should do it’ or ‘He seemed to like this.’ You’re not even looking at his reactions anymore; completely dissolved in playing with his cock, like it's a brand new toy and you’re trying to figure out all its functions.

Your wet mouth moves to envelop his still semi-harden dick. A few slow pumps on his base and a massage to his balls got his dick fully erect again.

His cock moves smoothly in your hand as his cum acts as lubricant. Holding the base, you finally push his cock in your mouth as deep as you can, gagging a little bit as it reaches your throat. You pump the rest that doesn’t fit, hollowing your cheeks as his hips meet your hot mouth.

Body limp on the bed, Subaru whimpers as he attempts to control his breath. “H-How much longer are you g-going to do this?”

You pull off cock with a small pop as you meet his teary eyes, “Until you tell me to stop?”

You’re right. You did mention after his first orgasm that he could stop you anytime he wants, so he could technically get you to stop right this second. Yet, he knows he has no intention to do so. IHe feels too good. Too addicted to this blissed out feeling, he wishes you would never stop touching his cock.

You prop your head on one hand while the other returns to engulf his length. Languidly stimulating just his shaft, you tease, “You gonna cum again for me, Subaru?” 

Subaru whines for the umpteenth time as he feels himself close to coming. A few tears are now actively falling down his face. He’s so sensitive to even small stimulations that he can’t stop the jolting of his hips into your hand.

“A-Ah–I’m close again. Please, hah, don’t stop,” he begs, moaning unabashedly.

And of course you’ll listen to your adorable boyfriend.

You start stroking his cock a little faster, making sure to touch his full length from base to tip. Not forgetting his balls, you use your free hand to fondle them. With a final roll of your thumb on his slit, Subaru cries, an arm covering his clenched eyes as he climaxes again.

After a couple of soft tugs, you release your hold on his cock, giving him some well-deserved rest. The only thing Subaru hears are his pants and the pounding of his heart as he attempts to calm himself down. You seem to be enjoying the way he looks right now as you endearingly give him a smile. 

“H-Hah…” He looks away from your stare as he tries to lessen his heaving chest. Once he seems to have calmed down, Subaru speaks up with a whisper, “O-One more?”

You laugh at his eagerness as you lean down to press small kisses on his inner thigh making him shudder, “Anything for you.” 

As he relaxes against the bed, he thinks he must be addicted to your touch; he has to be. Because he doesn’t ever want this to stop. Even though he just said one more, he knows he’ll be craving it again; either right away or soon later.
