Man I'm sorry for the spam but more brainrot, this time Raath related.
Raath with someone whose default expression is B| and rarely changes from that. They generally seem very unaffected by his shenanigans, too, he shows up to do his usual 'Blood for the blood god!!' spiel but the person he's trying to intimidate does the equivalent of checking their watch and going 'Miette, move, work starts in 10' and nudges him out of the way/walks around him. First time this happens, Raath is so baffled that he lets it happen. Unfortunately (?) for that person, it also triggers his hyper fixation and now he's bothering them at least once per day.
He pulls a knife on them, trying to intimidate them and get a reaction out of them but what happens is that they either grab their own knife or steal Raath's and stab him in the side instead cause 'It's my pet turtle's feeding time, you are dragging this out unnecessarily.'
In the middle of the night, Raath tries to get them to crack by seeping in through a cracked window and trying to do his shadowy 'Ohoho contract? I can make miracles happen' thing after finding a perceived weakness. The person's like 'my business hours for you in particular are from none til never, please come back accordingly' before rolling over and trying to go back to sleep despite Raath throwing a huge tantrum.
The audacity of this bitch (gn) is pushing all of Raath's buttons!! In the best ways!!! He is LOVING this!! But he also HATES it because he craves their attention.
And oh, the day he gets a reaction?? Maybe he's resorted to, gasp, being vaguely personable and he makes a loud, violent remark about something but it somehow tickled that person's funny bone and he gets to witness their lips quirk up into the tiniest of smiles. He hones in on that tiny reaction like πππ Oh???? Proceeds to make more remarks like this to narrow down what actually netted him that reaction and tries to sprinkle more of that into their interactions.
Hell, maybe he follows that person home via shadows (as he does these days) and they end up harassed by some random folks. And yes, they can hold their own (hot) but they end up tackled into a wall by a boulder of a person and they end up looking dizzy and confused and in pain and it lights Raath's fury because fucking what?? Only HE is allowed to see their expression shift out of their default state!! So he enters the fray.
(nvm that the relief seeping onto their face upon seeing him does massive things to his ego, his dick and maybe the shriveled little thing which is his heart. The widening of their eyes, the way their lips part. The way they breathe out his name, part hope and worry, he's their lodestar.)
Raath getting even more keyed up when, during the fight, his person attacks someone for him. It's cute, he could have tanked the hit, would have reveled in it but this? Seeing the seemingly expressionless face twist into anger FOR him? He's going to dig his fingers into their softest parts and crave his name into them over and over again. He's going to crack them open until he knows them inside out and until they know nothing but the sound of his voice and his smoke in their lungs.
(Meanwhile, the object of Raath's affections has been liking him from day 1 but they really are somewhat emotionally and socially constipated buuut this cat and mouse game does Things for them and after that fight? They want to blow out Raath's back and make him cry. His violent tendencies are SO hot to them and after all this, they think he deserves a little treat.)
I have been so goddamned busy these past couple weeks lets talk about some asks i've got squirreled away
I cannot stress enough how badly Raath needs his buttons pushed, he gets so mad when he's not immediately Feared. Also he will end up being so ragebaited by a cold exterior that he can't just leave it well enough alone. And boy you are so correct that this is the express lane to him getting weird and possessive. Also i know blowing his back out might give him the attitude adjustment he needs for five whole minutes, i know he's got it in him to be a slinky, nasty little slut, so.
