now azul is very insistent of the fact that he is ‘above’ jealousy — that he’s more than comfortable and confident enough in his place as your boyfriend (and, naturally, future husband) to ever give into the influence of such a petty emotion — but if you’ve known him for longer than a few short minutes you’ll know that he’s lying through his teeth. and it’s such a blatant and bold faced lie, even compared to the tales he spins to get a good deal out of the poor unfortunate souls he works with on a daily basis, that you can bet every thaumark you have to your name that the twins would be giving him the worst ribbing of his life if they ever heard those words leave his lips… which is precisely why azul is careful to never broach the subject when either of them could be in earshot

because not only is azul very much so not above jealousy, but he has the most prominent jealous streak of anyone either of the tweels know. of course he is rational enough to recognise that his jealousy isn’t your fault and he never takes it out on you if he can help it, but after the severe bullying and ostracisation he faced in his youth and all the lingering insecurities he has as a result he can’t help but feel a bit antsy and uncomfortable with the idea of you spending more time with others. especially those that could offer you more than he can… even if he would sooner let floyd squeeze him until he literally popped than ever admit as much to you

and no matter how long you two have been together, no matter how secure he otherwise feels in your relationship, that little voice in his head insisting that you can do better and that he doesn’t deserve you will always be there. and it will be that much louder whenever you give him even the slightest of signs that the student he’s jealous of is something that you actually like, even if you’re not doing it intentionally and truly do just feel platonically for the other person. of course that little voice does get quieter and more easy to ignore as he gets older and starts to actually address his personal issues, but growth isn’t easy or linear and it will take him a long time to truly make any progress — years, even… but that’s beside the point

the main way that his jealousy shows is through his very personal and intentional targeting of whichever person he’s jealous of, with azul using every single means he has at his disposal to get them under his thumb so he can keep them away from you. and the methods he utelises to do this vary from obvious to subtle enough to make the sea witch herself proud, including:

having jade snoop around to find out what they want and what they need so he can entrap them into a contract where they get their heart’s desire (or the closest possible equivalent he can get his hands on; resourceful as he is, azul is still only a student) and he gets the peace of mind that they will not be going anywhere near you for the rest of their life. a true win-win situation, as well as an excuse to show off the true benevolence of octavinelle’s housewarden… and thus his preferred method of dealing with his jealousy because it’s just so simple and unassuming, but unfortunately for him this isn’t always an option so he does have to resort to some less elegant solutions every now and again

rearranging their entire work schedule, if they work at the mostro lounge, to ensure that they either never cross paths with you at all or that they’re too exhausted to even properly acknowledge you when you do stumble across each other — thus causing a rift in your bond with the other person that he is all too happy to watch grow and worsen. though he is convincing enough with the reasons he provides for swapping their shifts and duties around (e.g. the lounge is short staffed on those days and need the extra hands, the previous person that performed those exhausting/undesirable duties quit and he will compensate them fairly for picking up the slack, etc.) that there’s every chance that they, and thus you, never catch onto what he’s actually pulling

enlisting the twins to… talk to the individual in question and politely advise them to never speak to you again, unless they want another visit of course. it’s a messy solution and one he will only ever use as a last resort as it involves both letting the twins know that he’s jealous (as he can’t exactly excuse these requests for being in the interest of the lounge as he might a brief research request) which will result in him getting teased to hell and back, and running the risk of you finding out what happened as the leech boys don’t exactly scream subtle when they do dorm visits… especially not floyd who is somehow both the best and worst option for this particular assignment. but if things get to this point he likely doesn’t have the option to be picky anymore so… yeah

yeah… there’s pretty much nothing that he will not do if it means keeping you by his side, even if he knows that his jealousy is completely unfounded, because he’s a problem solver to his core and he can’t help himself but try and correct what he perceives as a disaster waiting to happen. and if he can do all of that while keeping you mostly in the dark about his insecurities flaring up then that’s a bonus

granted, for as sneaky as he can be when it comes to working out ways to keep the other person away from you he is also tremendously unsubtle about his jealousy in other ways that are clear as crystal to you. like how physically clingy he gets with you, his clear displays of anxious body language like pacing and nail biting and averting his eyes, and how much he questions you about the people in your life and your own relationship while trying (and failing) to be completely nonchalant about your answers. so, really, you’d almost have to be trying to remain oblivious whenever his jealousy spikes

so… maybe don’t let him fester in his negative thoughts for too long and drag him into a cuddle pile and start kissing him senseless the second you start to notice the signs, lest he end up ruining some poor student’s life out of jealousy. unless that’s something you want to see him do for whatever reason? but even then, be sure to assure him that you’re not going anywhere because sevens know he needs to hear it

j a m i l v i p e r

after a lifetime of servitude and learning to bottle up all of his emotions in favour of performing a carefully honed neutrality to the world and people around him, it almost goes without saying that jamil has a pretty solid poker face. one that you are unlikely to be able to see through if he’s actively trying to keep it up, unless you’re exceptionally observant or he opens up to you about whatever he’s actually feeling on his own terms. and even after his overblot and his embracing his new freedom as much as he has, it’s still gonna take him a while to actually let himself open up to you like that. don’t take it personally, old habits just die hard for him… even when he really doesn’t want them to

all that to say that while he does have quite the prominent jealous streak, he also knows better than to act irrationally because of it. after all, not only does he have his family’s reputation on his shoulders but he also has to consider how his actions will impact you as his partner, and as a result he is very careful about how he acts around whoever he’s jealous of. not to say that he’s above being petty with them, because he’s not, just that he’s going to be a lot more thoughtful and intentional in how he goes about being petty — he has to have plausible deniability, after all

though his first instinct for a while, before he even considers messing with the other party at all, is to try and work through these uncomfortable emotions on his own. like he does for most things in his life and has been doing pretty much for as long as he can remember. of course this isn’t exactly a successful strategy and he will pivot eventually, but it’s effective enough and he’s stubborn enough to try and stick with it for as long as he can… which, in hindsight, is perhaps a while longer than he should have

eventually though he will end up caving and broaching the topic with you himself, hinting at it over several days to test the waters before actually setting aside a chunk of time one day for the two of you to actually sit down so he can tell you about what he’s been dealing with. because for as much as he hates showing off his vulnerabilities and insecurities to you in such a clear way, he does also want to make this relationship work in the long term and understands well enough that this is very much so a necessary step in ensuring the two of you don’t end up drifting apart or growing resentful (you may be his first real partner, but having spent a lot of time blending into the background he’s been privy to watching many couples implode over one person’s jealousy and he does not want the two of you to end like that. or at all, actually… but that’s beside the point)

and after that conversation, difficult and awkward and uncomfortable though it may have been for the both of you, you’ll come out the other side much more confident and assured in the stability and openness of your relationship. and you, in particular, will have your eyes open to all of the signs you likely missed that pointed towards just how jealous jamil was… which you now can hardly believe you didn’t find as blatantly obvious before he confessed his discomfort to you

like how he would glare at them whenever they were near you, or whenever he saw them around school in general, his eyes observant and judgemental and burning holes into their skull only to return to a more neutral, almost bored, expression the second they looked in his direction. a clear sign of his dislike for the other person to those who were close to him in the moment, namely ace and floyd, but one that was easily missed as he excelled at quickly masking his hatred and blending back into the background before they realised he was the one staring them down

and the way that he’d almost habitually position himself in front of you whenever the two of you bumped into the other person, placing a physical boundary between you and wordlessly but irrefutably cementing his role as your boyfriend to them in a single, outwardly inconspicuous gesture. even inserting himself silently into your interactions with them just to reassert his place and the fact that they really ought to back off, even if he never actually said as much to them

and then there were all the times that he would actively interrupt your conversations with whoever he was jealous of, though he always came to you with a believable excuse so you never really thought to question it. after all, it really wasn’t so out of sorts to think that kalim had thrown another last minute party and your boyfriend desperately needed someone to keep him sane while he did all the prep, or that you had promised to study with him during your free period and it had slipped your mind because of all the chaos you experience on a daily basis, so you’d always bid your farewells and follow jamil without complaint (much to his unspoken relief, and smugness — because once again you chose him and not them)

and the way he’d become more publicly tactile with you whenever they wandered over to you both… though he always kept his gestures on the more appropriate side (e.g. fixing your uniform, kissing you on your hands or cheeks, offering you his arm to hold onto while walking between classes, etc.) so you didn’t necessarily pick up on the more possessive and intentional undertones to why he was suddenly being so physical in those moments. but, saying that, you can’t exactly bring yourself to complain about it as it was nice having your boyfriend be so openly tactile for a change…

… but, hey, hindsight is fifty-fifty and jamil can hardly blame you for not really picking up on his jealousy since he was otherwise going to such lengths to keep it under wraps. though now you know what to look out for moving forward, so do whatever you will with that newly acquired knowledge

l e o n a k i n g s c h o l a r

despite leona’s claims that he ‘isn’t the jealous type’ and that ‘it’s just called being territorial, herbivore. all beastmen are like this’, he is, in fact, a very jealous person. mainly because of his own insecurities and that lifelong fear of coming in second once again, this time in his own relationship with the one person in his life that has actively and consistently chosen him over anyone else. and while he will not take that jealousy out on you — unless, for whatever sevens forsaken reason, you decided to actively try to make him jealous and he knows that’s what you were doing — and while he does do his best to try and hide his jealousy as best as he can, he is also tremendously unsubtle about the whole thing, especially so if you happen to know him well (like, say, ruggie who is usually the first to call him out on being jealous whenever he’s around)

the first sign that you’re likely to notice that gives away just how unhappy he is with the amount of attention you’re giving to or receiving from another person is just how much he’ll be glaring at them. over your shoulder, behind your back, his entire expression cold and calculating and threatening, only to become noticeably neutral and unbothered the second your attention returns to him — an unspoken challenge and threat that is usually enough to force any savanaclaw student to get the picture, and to at least unsettle other students into leaving after a while

(though, granted, his resting face isn’t entirely dissimilar to his expression when he’s jealous and starting to get pissed off — especially if the other party doesn’t know him all that well beyond what little they may have seen/heard of him from his dorm mates — so it’s entirely possible that they’ll just not notice what’s going on and continue on as usual. but, eventually, even the most oblivious of individuals is sure to start feeling unsettled by how intensely leona is staring at them, so it’s a matter of whether he gets tired of inaction and moves to make a more obvious show of possession or whether they finally take the hint and leave first…)

then, if that fails to ward them off at all, he’ll escalate to practically draping himself over your body — making his presence impossible to ignore and really showing off the fact that you’re taken and the other person needs to take the hint and back off. of course he’s careful not to put his full body weight on you because for as funny as he finds it to bother you like that he doesn’t want to crush you and this is solely a matter of staking a public claim on you as your mate, but nonetheless the very blatant gesture is usually clear enough of a sign to get most students to clue in on the fact that you’re his and scamper off with their tails between their legs

he may even go so far as to start growling and threatening them if he feels it’s necessary. though really he’d rather not have to lower himself to that level and it takes a lot more than you’d think for leona to feel truly compelled to start acting so aggressive with another student — granted instincts are instincts and if it’s another beastman that’s trying to infringe on your relationship he has no qualms reestablishing the pecking order in the dorm if he needs to, but if he can get away with it he’d much rather take the easy way out and have them leave before any actual verbal or physical confrontation takes place

and if the passes start to become a bit too blatant and bold for his taste — i.e. they cross the line from excusable or mildly complimentary in tone and turn obviously flirty and disrespectful to you and to your relationship — then leona will just straight up pick you up or drag you away by the arm to go and nap somewhere private. both so he can properly scent you again and remove you from the offending party’s presence, and so he can slowly sleep off his frustration before he does something that gets you annoyed with him

(you’re not even safe from this when he’s not there in the moment to see this all going down either, because his sense of smell is so strong that he’s very quick to pick up on the fact that you ‘stink’ of someone else — which then immediately puts him in a sour mood and results in him pretty much holding you captive in his arms while he naps to rid you of the stench)

he may — emphasis on may — even start attending his usual classes if you and the person in question are part of his cohort, if only to ensure that you don’t end up having to work with them (after all, why pair up with them for a project when your boyfriend is right here?) and thus that they have absolutely zero chances to get close to you in any sense of the word during class hours. not physically, as leona will be setting up shop right next to you and glaring anyone who tries to sit in his seat (no he doesn’t care that they were assigned that seat, it’s his now), or through bonding as he makes it very clear that he’s gonna be your default class partner for every class you have together. no he’s not being obvious… shut up

he will also go out of his way to make sure that you smell like him afterwards, usually by all but forcing one of his jackets on you and insisting on you wearing it for the rest of the day — partially as a very clear visual indicator that you’ve been claimed by him even when he’s not there to literally drape himself on top of you, and partially because the jacket smells like him and if you have his scent clinging to you there’s no denying that you’re his person. his mate. and that usually is enough to ward off pretty much any other beastman that you may cross paths with, and most other students too (aside from the bold or oblivious, but he has his ways of dealing with those too if he needs to do so)

while this isn’t something he particularly wants to do, or that he’ll default to unless he’s exhausted all of his other options, leona can and will fight anyone who simply refuses to take the hint that you’re his mate. and he will win, so don’t worry about that. though, again, this is very much so a last ditch effort from him to really send a message and the vast majority of the time the most you’ll see of his jealousy is what’s listed in the above points instead

r i d d l e r o s e h e a r t s

to say that riddle wears his heart on his sleeve sometimes may very well just be the understatement of the century — after all, anyone who has ever crossed paths with the former rose red tyrant is surely all too familiar with just how quick he has been to anger in the past, as well as just how visibly obvious it was whenever his temper was even just starting to rise. and that very much so extends to how his jealousy tends to manifest now that the two of you are in a relationship

of course he does usually try and rationalise his way out of this headspace when he can (he trusts you dearly, after all, and would very much so like to believe that he’s made some progress towards anger management since his mortifying overblot at the start of the semester), but even so there will be many instances in which you, or whoever is nearby at the time, will be treated to the sight and sound of a positively fuming riddle whenever his jealousy happens to get the best of him. which is more often than not because someone is getting way too close to you for it to be innocent in his presence

riddle has absolutely zero poker face when it comes to how he feels about you, and even if he manages to keep his mouth shut and his temper (mostly) contained all it will take from you is a single look in his direction to realise just how jealous your poor boyfriend is. because, well, there’s really no missing the frightening shade of red his skin flushes from the neck upwards, nor the sour look on his face, nor the way his hands tighten around whatever he’s holding in a way that very clearly indicate just how hard he’s trying not to lash out — like you’d have to be trying not to notice at that point

he will make a point of positioning himself between you and whoever he’s jealous of in the moment, or failing that he’ll just stand by your side and make it abundantly clear through that prolonged proximity that you’re very clearly taken and they ought to back off — or, at the very least, knock off whatever offending behaviour they were engaging in before he moved to intervene… after all, with his reputation being as widely spread as it is its rare that riddle actually has to go so far as to escalate beyond this little show before the other student politely backs down and makes an excuse to leave. especially so if said student happens to be a member of his dorm (and, thus, very familiar with just how bad his temper can get) or if they are close to another student who is (and are consequently keenly aware of how bad of an idea it might be to test his patience and his boundaries when it comes to you, his lover)

and, because riddle is riddle and old habits die hard, he also has a nasty habit of lecturing the hell out of whoever he’s jealous of — systematically scolding them for every tiny infraction that he can think to apply, no matter how niche or unimportant, until they finally break and leave with their tail between their legs… and an apology on their lips too, ideally, but being a housewarden has taught him that accountability to that level is very rare at night raven so he doesn’t really expect that. frankly, as long as they leave he couldn’t care less about what they have to say

he may even try and find an excuse to collar them if he felt their offence was severe enough — though, unfortunately, riddle isn’t so keen to fall back on the same bad habits that led to his overblot so he does actually make an effort to not just collar people because they made him jealous… however if he finds them guilty of breaking a rule at the same time and that warrants being collared, well, that’s fair game in his eyes

the second the two of you leave, or he finally gets the other person to leave, he will be complaining about them for the rest of the day… or until you manage to get him to move onto another topic, but even then he will be quietly stewing on the whole interaction for hours after the fact. and his complaints vary from understandable (e.g. they were rude, they interrupted you too much, they were mishandling their pen and could have hurt someone, etc.) to downright petty in a way that somehow manages to be both deeply amusing and bewildering in the most riddle way possible

in the hours, days, and sometimes even weeks, following a particularly rough experience in regard to his jealousy, riddle will make a point of keeping you even closer than usual. partially to make it even more abundantly clear to those around you that the two of you are an item, but mostly to soothe his own insecurities and upset without him having to ask outright for that comfort. and that involves everything from walking you to and from your classes and sitting beside you during lunch, to personally inviting you to the dorm for sleepovers and unbirthday parties and study sessions — which both gives the two of you plenty of chances to spend time together and grow closer as a couple, and makes it much more difficult for anyone else to try and capitalise on your time in that way that sets his teeth on edge

and sevens help him if the person he’s jealous of happens to be someone that you’re naturally very close to independent of your relationship with him. doubly so if that person is more traditionally likeable than riddle is. because that will only make his insecurities that much worse to contend with as he spirals in ways that are clear as day to everyone around him…

lilia vanrouge

a complete and utter wind up merchant to his core, a fae that strives to cause mischief wherever he goes, and endearingly softened by his age and his time as a parent, it should almost go without saying that your first kiss with lilia is sure to be about as romantic and memorable as it will be spontaneous and perhaps even startling — as most things tend to be whenever he gets involved these days… oh how far he’s come from his days as a general

there really is no shortage of circumstances under which your first kiss with him could happen, regardless of who initiates, because of just how much lilia likes to live in the moment — and, in return, just how much he gleefully encourages you to do the same

maybe he dropped down from above with every intent to startle you out of your own skin, but found himself enraptured by how the light danced in your eyes or lost himself in the chiming sound of your laughter and instead shifted his focus on the spot — dropping right in front of you and placing a kiss square on your lips, swallowing your startled gasp, stealing your breath, and leaving you buffering in place for a good few minutes while he laughed at both his own childish impulsivity and the charming look on your face

maybe you were in his dorm room, messy though it may be, using his own notes as a reference for an essay you’re writing while he loses himself to the latest shooter game he and gloomurai have gotten into — something something war… the title eludes you, but you’re glad he’s having fun. and maybe he wins that round and cries out in victory, smiling so widely you can see his fangs poking out in the most adorable way, and when he looks at you to make sure you were paying attention you just couldn’t help but gently grasp the side of his face and peck him on the lips. brief and impulsive and yet still enough to pinken his cheeks and leave you scrambling to apologise before he assures you that he had absolutely no objections to what you just did

maybe you two were out on an actual date, to a local theme park perhaps, and after plenty of prompting and teasing from him you two ended up on a rollercoaster that had absolutely no business being created. taller and faster and more looping than anything you’ve ever seen, and while you’re caught between screaming and laughing, watching the sights and burying your face into his shoulder, lilia is just watching you and getting a kick out of both your bravery and your hilarious response. and then you look at him, trusting and terrified and clearly hyped on adrenaline, and he leans over to press his lips against yours without even a second of hesitation — bumping his nose against yours awfully in the process due to his own bad timing

but no matter what prompted your first kiss you can be sure that it will very swiftly be followed by the second, and third, and about as many more as he can get away with giving to you before you two have to pull apart once again — grinning and giddy as children, the taste of mischief and laughter and something red on your lips all the while

malleus draconia

after a lifetime of social isolation, of being feared as a monster or revered practically as a god with almost no one that ever treated him as anything in between, malleus goes into your relationship wholly lacking any sort of meaningful experience but wanting nothing more than to be the boyfriend — husband, ideally, but that can wait until you’re ready — that you deserve. and that unwavering determination, that earnestly given fae promise, to do this right naturally lends itself to a first kiss that happens with intention, a great deal of planning, and absolutely no surprise for you

after all, for as prideful as malleus can be he’s also terrified of scaring you off or offending you due to his lack of experience with social norms and practical courting behaviours, so unlike his father he makes it a point to ask you before he even thinks about taking that next step

he takes great pains to plan out the time and location, ensuring that you won’t be tailed by your nosy friends or interrupted by his retainers by asking for your time well in advance and meticulously tracking the weather to find a night with the clearest sky — no clouds, no rain, not too cold and not too warm… and if the weather turns he can always cast a quick spell to help set the atmosphere he had in mind, it’s not like it would be especially difficult for him after all

it happens during a midnight walk through the forest on campus, of course — a staple of your acquaintanceship, then friendship, and now relationship that has come to be a comforting and oh so very needed part of his routine — where instead of leading you to some ruin he’s stumbled upon and wanted to share, as he usually would, he instead tenderly leads you out to a clearing. somewhere private and quiet, with a clear view of the moon and where the distant chatter of campus, which always manages to continue no matter how hard the housewardens push for a consistent curfew, can’t reach you

once you’re there, glowing under the faint light of an uncountable number of stars and you can see the moon reflecting in his eyes, he gracefully, regally, lowers himself to your eyeline and asks, with the utmost formality (as he always does) and an unfamiliar undertone of vulnerability, if he could kiss you. more of a plea than a question, really, and for those few moments between his ask and your approval it’s easy to forget that he’s a dragon wearing fae’s skin

and when you kiss, finally and inevitably, it feels warm and final and right. clumsy and inexperienced, still, but slow and loving and passionate enough to make up the difference. and after returning home, you fall asleep with a smile clinging faintly to your lips and dream of his warmed cheeks and dilated eyes and hands trembling with the effort to be gentle in ways he’s never known how to be before you

riddle rosehearts

riddle rosehearts is, despite the leaps and bounds he’s made in bettering himself in the aftermath of his overblot, someone who lives his life with a very specific set of rules in mind. of course there are the rules left behind by the queen of hearts, the 810 golden guidelines by which he governs himself and his dorm, but there are also the unwritten rules of life that he had drilled into him by his parents and the other adults around him when he was growing up — rules about how one ought to go about relationships, how one ought to structure their life, and so on

and while he’d like to say that he’s become more open to spontaneity in recent months, riddle has still found himself falling back on those unspoken expectations when it comes to your relationship. so if left up to him your first kiss would end up occurring in a very specific and, to him, expected way — with some room for surprises as he’s not quite so mad as to presume you’d act precisely how he thinks you should… not anymore, anyway

you’d be on a date, at least your fifth or perhaps later depending on how long you’ve been together at the time (no amount of scheduling can account for all of the maddening situations the school throws at you both, after all), having a wonderful conversation over some tea and baked goods, and while walking you back to your dorm (as any gentleman should!) he’d ask for your permission to kiss you farewell. and it would be chaste and sweet and you’d part ways equally flustered and happy… okay, perhaps he’d be more visibly flustered by the whole thing, but that’s beside the point!

but, of course, real life and your relationship aren’t so easily scheduled and things didn’t go quite as riddle had hoped — though, frankly, he can hardly say he minded

maybe you beat him to the punch and surprised him by asking for a kiss during a study date or while helping him with unbirthday party errands and caught him so off guard that he went bright red (but nodded his permission anyway), maybe you just couldn’t help yourself and pecked him on the lips impulsively while bidding him good night and got to watch your poor boyfriend go red and struggle to regain his composure for a good few minutes afterwards, maybe you two actually made it to the date but he got so in his head that he forgot to ask and you put him out of his misery and kissed him instead

no matter how it happened, though, it surely left you grinning, perhaps a bit amused at your dear riddle’s expense, and left with the faintest taste of strawberry jam and fresh pastries lingering on your lips and tongue for a bit afterwards… maybe you should ask him to have trey bake some more tarts for your next date. to celebrate your first kiss, of course (the first of many, especially if he keeps responding so strongly to them…)

silver vanrouge

silver vanrouge: an infamously oblivious founding member of the ‘facepalm brigade’, a young man who practically embodies the idea of the chivalrous knight, and someone who will not think to initiate your first kiss unless pushed in the right direction by his father, by a particularly pleasant dream, or by a very straightforward request by you — because sevens know that just hinting at it will not get through to him, not unless your particular style of ‘hints’ are the most heavy handed requests on the planet

after all, as you’re his partner he wants to prioritise your comfort and wellbeing as much as he possibly can and, as such, takes a much slower and almost traditional approach to your relationship — letting each milestone come at whatever time felt right rather than rushing towards some arbitrary deadline just because your classmates insisted you two were falling behind. because you come first to him, and silver is honestly just happy that he gets to call you his, so unless you state a desire that’s contrary to what he’s doing he will just continue to go down the chivalrous route

but whether he’s pushed by a dream (or his father, or you), or you finally take matters into your own hands, your first kiss with silver will still end up being a rather spontaneous affair. not anywhere near to the same extent as, say, his father, but unplanned and earnest all the same

maybe you’re laying together under the shade of a tree after a particularly exhausting day, surrounded by his woodland friends as they scurry and settle around you both, and as he tries to fight sleep he finds himself staring at you and recalling all of lilia’s teasing remarks over the past few weeks — suddenly much more awake than before as he finally puts the pieces together. and then, maybe, he sits up, takes your hands gently in his own and asks you, his voice unbearably soft and sweet and slightly deepened from an earlier nap that he still hasn’t quite fully shaken off, if he can kiss you, face somehow both stoic and softened in a way that gives away just how nervous and yet certain of himself he is as he awaits your response

or maybe you found yourself completely and utterly enamoured with him while watching him spar with sebek, entranced by his strength and precision and the way the sun reflected off of his aural eyes in a way that should definitely be illegal, and couldn’t help but pull him to a semi-private nook close to the training area and press your lips to his. stealing his breath and composure in a single chaste peck, and leaving him pink about the cheeks and speechless in a way that immediately gave away what happened and surely earned him a lot of teasing from his dorm mates — not that he’d ever complain about such a wonderful gesture… he only wishes he’d been able to reciprocate properly in the moment, that’s all

either way though the kiss itself is soft and chaste and sweet, more of a gentle brushing of his lips against yours but still warmed by passion and so rich with adoration you can taste it. and, of course, it’s swiftly followed by the second and third and fourth until you lose count, curled up in each other’s arms and smiling so broadly your cheeks start to ache, and yet neither of you is especially keen to pull away, to end this blissful moment. and silver is left, afterwards, hoping beyond hope that this wasn’t a dream… and if it was that this particular dream could last forever

skully j. graves

skully is someone who prides himself on his chivalrous and gentlemanly nature, who greets others warmly and with a chaste kiss to the back of the hand, who always offers his arm when you go out together, who makes every effort to be polite and earnest in his courtship of you even when he’s nervous beyond belief or at a point in his life where he’s starting to embrace a more whimsical and playful side to his personality. so, then, it’s pretty fifty-fifty whether your first kiss with him will be a spur of the moment thing initiated by one of you, or something that he goes a bit out of his way to plan

if left to him, he’d do whatever he could to ensure that the whole experience — because, naturally, he plans a whole date as a preamble to your first kiss because he is a gentleman — is as memorable and enjoyable for you as possible, catering to you both by planning activities he knows you’ll both enjoy. maybe even theme it around halloween despite it not being the right season, just in a more subtle way, if only as a means of easing his nerves a bit

but chances are one of you will break and initiate something out of the blue before he ever gets around to arranging the romantic evening he had started to plan — not that he’s complaining, of course, but the point still stands

maybe you’re walking back home after running some errands and he’s gushing about all the wonderful plans he has for halloween and how he can’t wait to spread his beloved holiday all over the globe, and you’re so enamoured by his passionate words and the determined glint in his eyes that you can’t stop yourself from pecking him on the lips. unfortunately stopping him in the middle of his sentence as his mind stalls and his whole face flushes a delightful shade of pink, too flustered and flattered and happy to form a proper thought for an embarrassing few moments before he collects himself enough to grin, wide and giddy in a way that shows off that charming tooth gap of his, and thank you properly

or maybe you two were busy decorating his dorm in advance for the halloween season, laughing and joking and being all disgustingly adorable in that way young couples tend to be, and then the lamp light catches you just right and he finds himself struck by how happy you look. how broad your smile is, how your eyes are glittering with glee. and all because you’re with him, because you’re indulging him with his greatest passion in a way no one else ever has. and that realisation has his mouth working before his mind as he asks, reverent and impulsive and lacking all of his usual purple prose, if he can kiss you. and then he does, like you’re the only thing that matters

He wants your hand wrapped around his thick neck. He won’t ask you to squeeze—he won’t give in that easily—but he’ll definitely be thinking about how much he wishes you would. He’ll provoke you into it, push your buttons just right until you get mad enough to do exactly what he wants. He’s a complete masochist, no doubt about it, and if you asked him, he’d admit it with a wicked smile on his face.

Some days, he’ll want you to act like a helpless, soft, submissive girl. Fuck, he’d love that side of you. You can experiment, act however you want—he’ll eat it up either way. Whether you come at him with intent or pull away with a hint of fear, it doesn’t matter. He wants everything. Give him everything.

Something that instantly turns him on is your soft, delicate tongue on him. On his cheek, his lips, his chest, his thighs… fuck, just thinking about it is enough to get him hard. He could be your candy without a problem. All he needs is you tasting him where he’s sensitive, feeling your warmth, and the way you smile against his skin.

Rindou

It’s simple. From your shortest skirt, barely covering an inch below your ass, to the expressions and the blush spreading across your face when you sit on his face… he’s satisfied with even the smallest things.

Rindou gets turned on very easily, honestly. And for him, it’s not a problem—he admits it openly. He’s that shameless. If you get him hard, he won’t even try to hide it. He’ll ENCOURAGE you to touch him the way only you know how.

What he always loves most is when you tease him. I’d say those are the moments when he gets excited the fastest. Just grind against him, and you’ll have Rindou on top of you in seconds—he won’t pull away for anything in the world, I swear.

Keisuke

Your touch is incredibly arousing to him. He’s the kind of guy who gets turned on by every little contact, every brush, even the slightest one. He especially loves the moments when you grab his biceps (which is exactly why he’s been working so hard at the gym) and hold onto him firmly. Fuck, he loves it—he loves it when you cling to him, your soft fingers pressing into his skin.

When he fucks you… yeah, he needs you to scratch his back hard. Ruin him. He wants you to leave marks on him, he craves it—wants everyone to see that he’s yours. Gripping his shoulders, his arms, his waist, his ass… everything. He just wants your hands all over him.

Draken

Being called “daddy.” There’s really not much else to say about that.

Draken grew up fast, surrounded by girls of all ages, even teenagers. He knows how to give good advice, he’s responsible, and extremely level-headed. He likes getting credit for what he does, sure—but he also needs to be taken care of every now and then. He probably doesn’t want kids, not in such a fucked-up world… so you could indulge his little thing, right?

It turns him on when you ask him for something with that fake innocent look on your face—and he completely loses it when you say the magic words. “Please, daddy” or anything along those lines. Just one word—one fucking word—and Ken Ryuguji is at your feet. Whether it’s to hear you say it again… or to start kissing you from your ankles all the way up to your thighs.

Manjiro

Control.

What turns him on is having complete control over you in intimacy. But only physically—because emotional control is what he needs from you. He can handle you easily, tell you not to speak, to stay still while he fucks you… and you obey every demand.

And yet, even then… you always seem to be one step ahead of him. Outside of intimacy, you don’t fear his dark side. You know how to calm him, you understand him without him having to say a single word—and for Manjiro, that’s more than enough.

You complement each other in a way that’s almost absurd. The connection between you is so intense that Mikey, who was never a man that got turned on easily, now feels that heat creeping up on him just from having you close. That’s why what excites him the most is exactly that—the fact that he has control over you… and that you could take it away from him at any moment, if you really wanted to.

Mitsuya

He loves to look.

Mitsuya is a serious man, but fuck… sometimes it’s actually annoying how he insists on measuring your body, even after doing it at least ten times before. What turns him on is aesthetics—the clothes you wear, the accessories… or the lingerie. That’s what drives him crazy. Now imagine him seeing you wearing something he made himself. He loses it.

It doesn’t matter if what you’re wearing is outdated. For Mitsuya, that’s not a problem. He’ll just tear that horrible piece of fabric apart and, after taking his time observing you, he’ll make you a new outfit. And honestly, he’d love to do it all over again.

Of course, there are other things that excite him—your chest, for example. He’s definitely a boobs man, no doubt about it. But the number one thing on his list will always be seeing you in his clothes… or without them.

Hanma

Provoke him.

Provocation is what sets Hanma off.

He loves to provoke, he loves to play, to mock his enemies—so do it. Play with him right in front of his face. In less than a minute, you’ll have him hard as hell, just as intense as he is.

He wants you in tight crop tops with cleavage, tiny skirts… or walking around his place in a robe right after a shower. Or something as simple as drinking wine and letting a few drops fall down your chin. That alone is enough. And if your thumb moves to wipe it away… fuck, he’ll be on top of you without saying a single word.

Takemichi

He’s honestly… very sensitive.

With just a hint of your perfume reaching his nose, he could already be embarrassingly turned on. But what really excites him are hugs. Yeah—hugs. He just can’t handle it when you press him against your body, when your chest brushes against his. Feeling you that close completely messes with his head.

And those times when you hug him and wrap your legs around him… he’s done for. Not literally, but he panics. His heart starts racing so fast that for a second he feels like he might pass out.

Please—if you’re going to do that again, at least warn him before you jump on him.

Inupi

Flirting.

What turns him on is you flirting with him anywhere, at any time of the day. The fact that you dare to do that to him pushes him right to the edge, and he can’t help it. He’s tough, mostly serious, not the type to act recklessly… and yet, he can’t help falling right into your trap.

Bite your lip slightly, look at him with that shameless intent… and he won’t take long to lose control. He’ll get painfully hard, to the point he has to do something about it.

If you’re in public, he might hold it together for a bit… he’ll cover his face with his hands, maybe a low groan slipping past his lips. But in the end, he’ll give in. He’ll grab your hand and pull you along, dragging you to the nearest place so you can deal with what you started.

Kakucho

Whispering in his ear is something that turns him on way more than it should. It might seem simple, but imagine this: he’s focused on fixing something on his bike, or at least trying to figure out what’s wrong with it.

Then there’s you, leaning in close to his ear, whispering his name along with something completely ordinary.

But that sudden whisper makes his hands tense, his back straightening instantly. His breathing shifts, and all his focus goes to shit in a matter of seconds. He can feel your breath, and that alone is enough. The closeness pushes him past his limit.

Izana

Begging.

There’s nothing that turns him on more than seeing you beg. Your voice dropping, your hesitation, the way you look at him waiting for something… it completely wrecks him from the inside.

Get close enough for him to feel how you tremble with anticipation. He’s capable of touching every sensitive part of you, pushing you right to the edge—only to pull away just enough to watch your vulnerable expression. That only encourages him more. He wants to see you like that, so desperately needing him.

He’ll watch you in silence, a smile forming on his lips as he takes it all in. He loves it. And just when you’re about to stop begging, when your breathing starts to steady…

he’ll lean in and touch you again.
