𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔: Kenshi Takahashi, Kung Lao

𝑻𝑾: a bit of smut

❥︎ 𝑲𝑬𝑵𝑺𝑯𝑰 𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑨𝑯𝑨𝑺𝑯𝑰

𝑺𝑭𝑾

❥︎ Kenshi tends to think of himself as quite skilled at analyzing people. The way you'd shy away from him, the way you'd flinch when he called you by name, your fidgeting eyes darting anywhere as long as it's away from his face. He mistakes your shyness for fear. He knows that, has an ex-Yakuza, his reputation can be quite disturbing to most but he thought his calm demeanor would have done something to ease your worries.

❥︎ Only after a bit he starts to pick up on the clues that had previously went unnoticed: your reddened cheeks, the stutter in your speech, the way your hands flex when he's near, yearning to hold him... and he has to admit he's flattered. He finds your shyness endearing and sweet, he might feel a little guilty about making you so nervous.

❥︎ It takes a while for him to be able to meet you alone, but when he manages he makes sure you're the least uncomfortable possible, quite difficult since you're confessing to him. When your words finally tumble out of your mouth, jumbled and thick in your throat, Kenshi smiles softly and embraces you, strong arms enveloping around you as the scent of lychee and white musk envelops you.

"That was really sweet," he says against your ear, stroking your hair in slow, tender motions. "I'm glad you told me."

❥︎ Even when you start your relationship, Kenshi always makes sure you're okay with him initiating physical contact: he's not a particularly touchy man, but he enjoys basking in your warmth, he finds it comforting. Every hug, every held hand, every feathery kiss is preceded by a softly spoken "Is this okay?", almost too cautious, afraid of hurting you with his affection.

𝑵𝑺𝑭𝑾

❥︎ Kenshi is passionate by nature, he pours his heart into his every act of love towards you and that includes sex as well. To someone as shy as you it might feel almost overwhelming, how his hands dig in your hips in a firm hold and his sweaty skin glides onto yours as he thrusts into you. His eyes are so full of love, of adoration, as he gazes upon your naked form sprawled on the mattress, hypnotized by the way your breath hitches and your voice twists into whimpers of his name.

❥︎ If he notices you're getting overwhelmed he slows the pace, his hips rocking against yours like gentle waves upon the shore, and starts littering your face in butterfly kisses, sweeping your hair away from your forehead he holds your hand in his own, his thumb stroking its back.

"It's alright, hanii. You're doing perfectly..." he assures you softly, his breath uneven as his hand drifts down to caress your thigh soothingly. "I love you, I love you so much... You're so beautiful."

❥︎ He's a little clumsy when it comes to aftercare, but he puts his best effort in it. He prefers to cuddle for a while before going to get cleaned up, wanting to bask in the afterglow of your love making. He takes his time to shower you with compliments, to check if he upset you by doing anything wrong and if you need anything. He'll help you get dressed afterwards, regardless if you're able to do it on your own. His main love language is acts of service, let him show you once more how much he cares.

❥︎ 𝑲𝑼𝑵𝑮 𝑳𝑨𝑶

𝑺𝑭𝑾

❥︎ Contrarily to Kenshi, Kung Lao immediately notices how smitten you are with him. It's so obvious, you're always around him, glancing up at him whenever you think he's not looking, torturing the hem of your shirt when you meet his gaze or speak to him. And I'm sorry to tell you that, if Kenshi showed you kindness, you won't find any mercy withing Kung Lao.

❥︎ He's a relentless tease, the playful kind of course but still a tease. He'll pull you into his lap without a warning, bear-hug you from behind when you least expect it, purposefully lean closer to you with the excuse that he can't hear you. All of that just to hear that weak, embarrassed yelp leave your lips, your eyes wide and your cheeks tinted in a rosy hue. It's the greatest gratification he can get from you.

❥︎ He basically corners you and doesn't give up until you finally cave, almost yelling in his face in frustration. You cover your face, feeling your cheeks heat up and your head spin. You think he's going to laugh but he doesn't, and when you look up there's the goofiest grin on his face.

"I knew it." he chuckles, hugging you so tightly he pushes the breath out of your lungs. "But it's so great to hear it from you!"

❥︎ Kung Lao loves PDA, it's a way for him to show you off to others, so expect him to always hold you in some way or the other when out and about. He most commonly has an arm wrapped around your waist, tracing figure eights on your hip. If it makes you uncomfortable he'll tone it down, but he'll never stop doing it completely.

𝑵𝑺𝑭𝑾

❥︎ If he can already be an insufferable tease in public, you can rest assured he's even worse in the bedroom. He makes you ride him purposefully because he knows how embarrassed you become, his hands driving you to bounce on him over and over again as you desperately try to hold in your moans and whines.

"Aaaw, look at you." he coos, the most smug smirk against your neck as he nibbles softly at your neck. "You're so cute... Feels good, huh?"

❥︎ When he sees you getting overwhelmed his attitude shifts immediately. He rolls over, laying you beneath him as he stops moving entirely, wanting to make sure you're actually okay with what you're doing. He plays with your hands, flattening his fingers against yours as he smiles tenderly, whispering soothing words of encouragement. It doesn't matter how terrible he can be, your pleasure and well-being will always come first to him.

please, said so many times i’ve forgotten how to say any other lines

us, whispered deep in the night so fragile by the dawn it withers and dies

you, engraved in my mind letter by letter every curve a vine

that pulls me closer but from me, you are miles.

missed chances, missed opportunities, for me to be less

𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔: a little body insecurity and mentions of violence

❥︎ 𝑪𝑨𝑺𝑺𝑰𝑬 𝑪𝑨𝑮𝑬

❥︎ You bring her back to her skater girl era. You'll catch her shamelessly staring at your skateboard like a little kid, keeping herself from asking you if she can ride it because she knows how jealous you are over it.

❥︎ Your metal baseball bat is the funniest weapon she's ever seen, honestly. You just go around, speeding past your enemies as you give them permanent traumatic brain injuries like a lethal spinning top out of control! The first time she saw you whack your weapon on someone's head she burst out laughing, tears in her eyes and with her hands on her belly.

❥︎ 𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑬𝑫𝑨 𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑨𝑯𝑨𝑺𝑯𝑰

❥︎ He used to be a skater boy, and a passionate one at that. Though, after the first time he stole your skateboard as a joke, you chased him across the entire SF headquarters with your baseball bat and he learned not to do that again.

❥︎ Speaking of that baseball bat, don't ever go near him with that ever again. Don't get him wrong, he thinks it's absolutely hilarious how you just bonk your opponents, but it's not as funny when he is a potential target.

❥︎ 𝑲𝑼𝑵𝑮 𝑱𝑰𝑵

❥︎ Bewildered, is what Jin is whenever he sees you rolling around the battlefield smashing heads like it's an Olympic sport. He's seen many odd fighting styles at the Wu Shi, but they don't even come close to yours. He doesn't dislike it, however.

❥︎ Jin suffers from slight body insecurity due to the fact that he's so much physically bigger than the rest of his family and friends, so he kind of vibes with your baggy clothes. He starts wearing something similar when he doesn't have to wear his Shaolin clothes.

❥︎ 𝑱𝑨𝑪𝑸𝑼𝑰 𝑩𝑹𝑰𝑮𝑮𝑺

❥︎ Jacqui used to be a baseball player, and a very good one too, when she was a child. She left the sport when she joined the military, but the sport never left her: sometimes she just steals your bat to give some empty strikes to the air, wanting to see if she's still got it (she does).

❥︎ The skateboard however... she hates that hellish board on wheels, because she cannot stand on it for all that is dear. She used to hate Cassie's when they were kids and she hates yours too, regardless of how cool you look riding it.

❥︎ 𝑭𝑼𝑱𝑰𝑵

❥︎ Very amused by your fighting style, and he thinks the acrobatic stunts you can pull are something to behold: he loves seeing you so effortlessly float mid-air as if you were weightless, you don't even need his help to do that!

I know it's been a long time since I last posted, and I'm really sorry for that. The Italian school sister fucked me over so badly that I stopped doing everything I loved: writing, drawing, playing videogames... I was too drained to do anything except withering away at a desk, crying over grades.

But now, I graduated. I'm slowly getting back into my old passions, slowly going back to being the person I used to be. And that means, I want to start writing again.
