~Storytreading catlady~

you nearly trip as you round the final corner that separates you. but when you finally reach the room where his meetings are held, the hulking figure looming outside gives you pause. 

“you need something?” 

he’s one of sylus’s men—bruce, if you remember right—but you haven’t spoken to him much. surely, though, he’s seen you around?

swallowing thickly, you wring your hands out in front of you. “i was looking for sylus. i was hoping i could talk to him.”

if he notices the tremor in your body, he doesn’t say anything. “boss is busy right now. you can come back when he’s done.” 

when he’s done? 

“um…are you sure?” you protest weakly. “he usually doesn’t care if—”

“i’m sure, alright?” for some reason, he sounds exasperated. “look, this deal is important to us, and he doesn’t need any distractions. just wait for him to finish.”  

the words bounce in your brain. they feel wrong. you feel wrong. but if your presence ever sabotaged his work, you’d blame yourself for weeks. 

biting your lip, you nod once and turn on your heel, dragging your feet back to your shared bedroom. 

you’ve been hugging your knees for what feels like hours when the door creaks open. almost immediately, the scent of home fills the room, wrapping around you like the hug you needed earlier. 

“sylus?” you croak, pushing yourself up on the mattress. “are…are you free now?”

he pauses for a moment, then flicks the nearest lamp on its lowest setting. in the warm, reddish light, you see his elevated eyebrow. “what do you mean?”

“i know you were in a meeting. i almost went to see you, but the guard said i shouldn't disturb you. so i’ve been waiting here.” 

“disturb,” he repeats, like the word is foreign on his tongue. “you…disturb…me?” 

his head is angled to the side, like a puppy’s during its first encounter with the bathtub. you decide against telling him this, only nodding instead. 

as soon as you do, the shadows of snarl creep onto his face. “why were you coming to see me?”

“i was just anxious, i guess. it wasn’t that much worse than usual.” the back of your neck warms, and you scratch it nervously. “since you usually help me, i thought maybe you could this time, too. but it’s okay,” you rush. “i feel better now.”

he shuts his eyes, letting out a three-second sigh. then, he comes to the bed, sits down beside you, and tucks you into his side. “he’s fired.”

startled, you raise your head as much as his bear paw of a hand allows. “what?”

“the guard you ran into. he’ll be gone by morning,” he says simply. 

your heart hammers in your chest again—this time, out of guilt. “but—i’m sure it was a misunderstanding. he was only trying to make sure your meeting went well, and i could have come in at a bad time, and—”

the wry curve of his lips tells you he’s not convinced. “alright, sweetie. let’s say i keep him on. this first time, you’re upset, and he thinks it’s not worth telling me. what happens next, then? you’re hurt, and i don’t find out until it’s too late?”

he takes your silence as a sign to continue. 

“if you were in danger and someone kept you from coming to me,” he begins, voice dipping in with conviction, “i’d do much, much worse than fire them. consider this a blessing, sweetie. you’re doing the man a favor.”

you chew your lip and fiddle with your hands, unable to fully believe him. “i guess.” 

gently, he takes your chin between his thumb and index finger, tilting your head until your eyes meet. “i want you to see me anytime, no matter the reason. even if you don't have one. your problems are my problems, and my time is yours.”

you can’t hold his gaze for very long—you never can. but when you wrap your arms around his torso, he knows he’s gotten through to you. 

“good. now, why don’t you tell me what you were so anxious about?”

you stiffen against him, but only momentarily. “i don’t really want to.” 

he lets out a bewildered scoff. “hmm?”

“you’re here now, and i’m happy. i want to focus on that instead,” you say, shoving your face into his chest. 

he lets his body buckle slightly from the force, his rich chuckle setting your mind at ease. “alright, then. how was the rest of your day?”

a week later, a taller, bigger, much nicer guard knocks on the dark oak door. nodding your head in thanks, you enter after a moment’s preparation, and the mix of deep voices falls to a hush. 

the meeting is over. you know that as soon as sylus’s eyes find yours, softening from warmth and relief. “thank you, morgan,” he calls to the new guard. then, he cuts his eyes across the sleek round table. “i’ll have the room now. follow up in three days.” 

scraping their chairs against the hardwood floors, the other men nod their heads and clear out. once the door shuts behind them, sylus turns his chair toward you and pats his thigh. you rush into his open arms without a second thought. 

“hi, sweetie,” he murmurs into your hair. “what is it?”

heat rushes to your cheeks. you bite the inside of your left one. “i…”

humming inquisitively, he gives an encouraging squeeze to the side of your waist. “you…?”

“i…am bored.”

pulling back a bit, sylus examines you carefully, checking to see if you’re serious. when all you do is stare back at him, fighting the urge to cover your face, a snort builds to a wheeze, then to a bark of laughter. “and we can't have that, can we?” he teases, eyes twinkling like roses in starlight. 

sheepish, you shake your head and try to double down. “we can’t. my problems are your problems.” 

“they are. you’re a quick learner,” he rumbles, gently bringing your foreheads together. “how lucky is it that i’m bored, too? had that meeting gone any longer, i would’ve had to remove our honored guests from the base.” 

shifting on his lap, you squint down at him. “by kindly asking them to leave, right?” 

“something like that,” he replies, and you try to suppress the image of fifteen bodies being flown out the front door. “in any case, what should we do instead?”

“well, there’s this rainforest documentary i want to watch. or we could keep watching that vampire drama, or we could play that game i beat you at last time—”

“i have no memory of that.” 

“I do.” you steamroll over him. “or you could walk me through the armory again, or…”

as you spew out options, you’re almost oblivious to the way he maneuvers you in his hold. soon enough, though, you’re intensely aware of the kisses he scatters over your cheeks, stealing your focus until your lips tug into a frown. “you’re not listening, are you?”

“of course i am,” he whispers, hands roaming over your skin. “your ideas are great, kitten. it’s just…there’s no need to rush. why don't we start going down the list, say, an hour from now?”

you can barely nod before he pulls you into a searing kiss, any and all boredom going up in smoke. you don’t know how long you stay there with him, touching until your bodies blur together. an hour, two—you’re not sure, you don’t care. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Phainon tries to be respectful and not cum on your body aside from your tummy or ass. If he does get it on your skin, he apologizes and helps you clean it off. He feels bad if he gets it on your face, though a part of him secretly likes how you look covered in his seed.

He generally prefers to ejaculate inside because it deepens his connection to you but will respect your wishes if you tell him to do it outside. He also asks for permission to cum inside the first few times you have sex until you tell him he doesn’t need to ask every time.

Loves being covered in your juices, though. Feeling your slick coating his face from eating you out or your juices drenching his dick really gets Phainon going. To him, it’s a testament to how good he’s making you feel.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Back when he was crushing on you, Phainon once had a wet dream about you and him making love and woke up to find his dick pitching a tent in his pajama pants, much to his embarrassment. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy that dream (in fact, he sometimes uses it as masturbation material) but he was also ashamed for having thought of you in an inappropriate manner even if it was unintentional. He struggled to look you in the eye for several days afterwards since the dream remained so vivid in his mind.

Phainon managed to successfully keep the dream a secret from you up until you had sex for the first time. When he finally joined bodies with you and was showering you in reverent praises, he accidentally let slip that the way you felt around him was much better than in his dream. He realized it all too late but handled the situation with grace when you asked him for more detail about it, though his face was tomato-red. Will happily re-enact the dream for you if you ask, though.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Is a virgin. Phainon believes that sex is an act best done with the person you love so he’s been saving himself for that special someone.

He does have a general idea of what to do and where to touch to make his partner feel good (he’s seen his fair share of… literature at the Grove’s library) but he relies mainly on your reactions and feedback to gauge what feels best. Phainon is devoted to your pleasure and diligently studies every inch of your body to find all places and ways you like to be touched that make you keen and turn your mind blank. If you’re more experienced than him, he will carefully listen to your directions and trust you to guide him on how to best please you. Though he knows he’s not perfect, he wants to be the best lover he can be for you because he wants to see you happy with him.

He's also very gentle with his feedback, giving you lots of praise when you do things that make him feel good and lightly guiding you to adjust your technique if something wasn’t quite working. He’s very communicative and encourages you to voice your thoughts, as well, because he knows the only way to improve and enjoy good sex is to openly discuss each other’s preferences and give feedback.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Phainon prefers positions where he can see your face, so missionary and lotus tend to be his favorites. He wants to see your face melt with pleasure while he thrusts into you, wants to give you kisses and whisper sweet nothings beside your ear, and above all, he wants to look into your eyes and see the love he feels for you be reflected back at him.

If doing missionary, Phainion hikes one of your legs up onto his shoulder for deeper penetration or wrap his arms around you to hold you close, practically pinning you down with his weight while he covers you in kisses and bites. He also loves it when you lock your legs around his waist to keep him close.

In lotus, Phainon likes to hug you close while thrusting up into you, whispering words of love in your ear and brushing the hair out of your face before capturing your lips in a kiss. He also finds it a great position for holding hands since you can use it as leverage to bounce on his lap easier.

Phainon is also fond of spooning. The skin-to-skin contact of spooning you from behind while leisurely fucking into you is really nice to him. He enjoys experimenting with leg positions by lifting one of your legs in the air at various angles to see which angle makes him hit the best spots inside you. He also takes advantage of this position to gently bite the nape of your neck and nip at your ear or play with your clit. Phainon loves this position in reverse even more because that way he gets to gaze into your eyes and exchange kisses more easily. Face him while laying on your sides with your legs tangled together and your hips grinding against each other.

In the event you’re both too horny to take things slow, Phainon will bend you over a flat surface and take you from behind. He presses his chest against your back so he can whisper filthy things in your ear and reaches between your legs to play with your clit. He’s also fond of cowgirl because he likes seeing you take pleasure from his body. The sight of your body bouncing on his lap is very erotic to Phainon and he’ll be positively mesmerized by it. Will encourage you to ride him harder by guiding your hips and thrusting up into you.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

While Phainon doesn’t joke around much during intercourse, he does try to keep the mood lighthearted and romantic by showering you in lots of praise, heartfelt confessions of his love, and kissing your hands and face. He wants you to feel safe being this vulnerable with him. He never brings negative emotions into the bedroom because he wants both of you to enjoy such an intimate experience.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Has a tuft of thick, white hair that he lets grow out and trims when necessary to keep it tidy.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Phainon treats sex as something more than just a means to a pleasurable end. To him, it’s one of the most intimate experiences one can have with their partner. It’s a time to bond on a level that goes beyond the physical. As such, he often makes love instead of fucking. Even rough coupling is still imbued with his love for you through eye contact or affectionate words and touches.

He’s also passionate. Phainon is already very affectionate outside of the bedroom, but he pours out all his love for you during intercourse. You’ll be kissed senseless, praised like a goddess, touched with the utmost reverence and possession. You will feel loved, desired, and cherished—Phainon will make sure of it.

He is also a romantic. As mentioned previously, Phainon likes maintaining eye contact with you to make the sex more intimate and emotional, and to use it as a way of communicating the unspoken feelings between you. Even if you don’t believe his sweet words of love, he hopes you will understand just how deeply he loves you by looking into his eyes. He also likes holding hands and intwining your fingers together and pressing his body flush against yours. Phainon just really likes physical contact, he finds it more intimate when he can feel your skin against his. Additionally, he whispers sweet nothings in your ear when the mood is romantic.

Is the type to sprinkle rose petals and light candles when he wants to set a romantic atmosphere, usually for anniversaries or other special occasions to make the session feel extra special.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Phainon masturbates a few times a week to blow off steam. Being a Chrysos Heir is tough work, especially when he has other people’s expectations and hopes riding on his shoulders. Phainon may face every challenge with determination and a smile but he’s still subject to feeling stress. Masturbation is one of the most effective methods for helping him relieve it.

He uses his imagination a lot while touching himself, usually thinking about erotic scenes he’s read in books and imagining it were you and him in those roles or thinking back to his wet dream of you. While stroking himself, he imagines what it would feel like to kiss your skin and caress your curves. How his real name would sound on your lips as you moaned it. He imagines what it would feel like to have your mouth on his cock and how you would feel wrapped around him when he finally joins your bodies together. How you would writhe and move against him, consumed by the pleasure he was giving you. How your expression would melt, and your eyes would glaze over with lust as you looked at him.

Phainon can easily get lost in thought and picture very vivid scenarios in his head that get him off better than any piece of erotic literature ever could, though after orgasm, he always feels guilty for thinking of you in such lewd ways.

Once you enter a relationship, he will masturbate less since he now has you to help him relieve his pent-up urges. Plus, he finds it more fun to get off with a partner than do it alone with his hand. In the event you’re not available, Phainon will use your lewd texts or recall all your past sexual encounters and use those memories as fap material, though he’ll wish you were around to help because doing it alone really isn’t the same anymore.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Phainon is a switch but leans more dominant. He’s perfectly happy to let you take the lead and call the shots since it absolves him of some responsibility and it ensures he’s doing things that make you feel good. Plus, he just wants you to be happy, and if taking charge is what you want, then he’ll eagerly comply. Blindfold him, pin him down, order him around—he’ll find your confidence and commanding presence a turn-on.

When dominating, Phainon likes to employ gentle dominance. He won’t degrade you, hit you, or yank you by the hair and force you to comply. Instead, he gives sweetly worded suggestions to coax you to obey. For instance: “Darling, could you please come here and sit on my lap? I want to hold you close and feel your warmth against me.” or “You’re doing great, my love. Your mouth feels so good around me, it’s hard to hold back. Relax your jaw and take a little bit more. Can you do that for me, sweetheart?” He also rewards your obedience with kisses, caresses, and praises, “You did so well, darling. Thank you for being so good to me” and “You look absolutely stunning like that, my love. Your beauty takes my breath away.”

Aside from praising you, Phainion also loves receiving praise. Tell him how good of a job he’s doing at pleasing you, how attractive he looks, or even how safe and desired he makes you feel. Though Phainon knows he’s making you feel good, it still does a lot for his confidence and ego to hear you say it out loud. Being praised on his looks is also nice ego boost since he likes hearing you find him desirable.

Phainon is also into body worship. He mainly prefers to give, but he’s fine with receiving too. He worships your body with reverent caresses, loving kisses, and sweet compliments, letting you know just how beautiful and sexy he finds you. If there are aspects of your body that you feel insecure about, Phainon will compliment them to reassure you that these traits don’t make you any less attractive in his eyes and he hopes you can grow to love these parts of you, too.

Another one of his kinks is lingerie. Dress up in lacy lingerie with frills and cute bows that flatters your figure and show off for Phainon. It will instantly arouse him to see you looking so delectable and dressed up all pretty just for him. Forgive him if he stares at you for too long, he simply can’t get enough of how good you look in lacy undergarments.

Face-sitting is another one of his kinks. Take charge and sit on his face. Phainon will eagerly lap at your pussy and relish the feeling of you grinding against his face. He may struggle to breathe but fuck if it isn’t hot to see you taking your pleasure from him and smearing his face in your juices.

Finally, Phainon enjoys a bit of light bondage to spice things up. It can be you or him who’s tied up, it doesn’t matter much to him, though he takes extra care to be gentle on your skin if you’re the one being tied. He prefers to use ribbon, string, or leather belts to tie you up, but if nothing is available then he’ll pin your wrists down with his hands.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Phainon prefers privacy when making love, so his main choice will always be your home. He’s fine with having sex in pretty much every room in the house, but the bed is his favorite since it’s comfortable and makes it easy to cuddle afterwards. A private bathing pool is his second favorite since there’s something intimate about bathing and making love in the bath.

If you play your cards right, Phainon can be convinced to go for a romp in the Chrysos Heirs baths when no one is around. However, Aglaea will know (her golden threads are everywhere, in case you forgot) and she’ll make you and Phainon clean the baths as punishment.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Aside from dressing in lingerie, Phainon gets turned on when you touch him with the intention to seduce. Kiss his neck through the gap in his choker, trace your tongue over his sun tattoo and feel him shiver as a wave of desire washes over him. Press yourself against him. Let him feel your soft curves against his body or grind against his leg and whisper that you want him. It’ll drive Phainon absolutely crazy with desire to know you crave him.

Another thing that can get Phainon going is playful teasing and banter. Engage in some lighthearted and sexual back-and-forth with him, say some innuendos, or make a bet where the reward is something pleasurable you can both enjoy. Phainon will find your wit and ability to give as good as you got incredibly sexy.

Finally, a good date can also get him in the mood. If you had a romantic evening with Phainon where you had a lot of fun and connected on a deeper level, he won’t be ready to let the date end. Phainon will touch you (respectfully) and try to convince you to spend more time together to exchange more words and affections that will naturally lead to something more carnal. It’s not so much a planned event as it is a result of one thing leading to another and the mood being just right.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Phainon is open to trying many things, but nonconsensual acts and physical abuse are where he draws the line. He doesn’t want to do anything that doesn’t have your explicit consent, and even roleplaying non-con scenarios makes him uneasy and turns him off. He also refuses to hit or choke you. He can lightly spank you if you’d like but anything more than that will get a hard no from him. As such, whips, paddles, and the like are not his thing.

Phainon also doesn’t like sharing as he’ll get jealous and insecure and start questioning whether your relationship means as much to you as it does to him. He struggles with self-doubt and thinks he’s undeserving of you sometimes, so you wanting another partner in the bedroom will make him think he’s not satisfying you enough. He gives his entire self to his romantic relationship with you, baring his very heart and soul, so you giving yourself to another will hurt him.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Phainon loves giving and will even get pussy drunk. He’s devoted to your pleasure and gets off on making you feel good. He’ll bury his face between your legs and suck on your clit, lap at your folds, and fuck you with his tongue until you’re tugging on his hair and begging him to stop because you’re overstimulated.

While eating you out, Phainon keeps his eyes on your face. He likes watching your expression turn blissful from him flicking your clit or fingering your G-spot and will even tell you to keep your eyes on him when your gaze grows unfocused. If you look closely, you’ll see his own eyes glaze over with arousal because pleasing you turns him on. Hearing your moans, praises, or bucking your hips against his face gets him hard, and it’s not uncommon for him to cum in his pants when he finally sends you careening over the edge.

He also gets painfully hard when you sit on his face and grind against it. Cover his chin and cheeks in your slick, grind your clit against his nose—he’ll eagerly welcome it.

While Phainon prefers giving, he won’t say no to receiving oral sex. When you take him into your mouth, he gets vocal, murmuring praises about how good your mouth feels around him and gently guides your head to take more of him. While he tries to remain still for you, sometimes his control falters and he starts to shallowly thrust into your mouth to chase his pleasure. He tries to be careful to not choke you. If you manage to deepthroat him, you will successfully render Phainon speechless and his mind blank.

When he comes, Phainon’s entire body shudders and he tosses his head back with a choked cry of your name. While he doesn’t expect you to swallow, he’ll feel an immense sense of satisfaction if you do.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Phainon is pretty flexible. He can go slow and sweet during lovemaking to make the moment more tender, or he can go fast and hard for a more passionate fuck. It all depends on the mood. He prefers to take things slow when making love, purposefully rolling his hips in such a way as to hit your sweet spots and watch your eyes roll back in bliss. It also gives him an opportunity to give you slow and deep kisses and whisper words of love in your ear.

However, he can also go rougher if it’s what you’re in the mood for. He himself sometimes has a lot of pent-up lust and craves a faster pace. At times like these, Phainon will fuck you with quick and hard, yet still purposeful, thrusts. They’re not hard enough to hurt but you’ll feel them in your core. He keeps a tight grip on your hips to keep you in place and angles them for a deeper penetration.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Phainon rarely goes for quickies. He prefers to take his time exploring and worshipping your body, to show you the appreciation and reverence he believes you deserve. He doesn’t want to fuck you like some horny animal, though he recognizes that sometimes quickies are necessary to blow off some steam. If you’re both needy but don’t have time for a proper session (especially for several days), Phainon will opt for a quickie.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Phainon is willing to take a healthy amount of risk in the bedroom. He’s eager to make you happy, and if experimenting with kinks and dynamics is what you want to do, then he’ll go along as long as it’s consensual and doesn’t put either of you at risk of harm.

He himself is interested in trying light bondage (giving and receiving) and experimenting with things like oil massages or food play to spice things up.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Has really good stamina from training so he can last a long time, but Phainon is mindful to not push you past your limits. Sessions with him last a while since he likes taking his time with foreplay, so he usually goes for 1-2 rounds, but he’s willing to go as many times as you want until you’re satisfied.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Doesn’t own any toys but is open to experimenting with them if you bring up that idea. Most toys are a bit much for Phainon, though he does have fun trying out a few to see what you both like. His favorites to use on you are vibrators to stimulate your erogenous zones, though it’s just as fun when you use them on him.

Phainon doesn’t mind if you use toys to satisfy your urges when he’s not around to help, but he makes sure to thoroughly remind you later that the touch of a lover is far more satisfying than some plastic.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Phainon likes playful banter, so he tends to verbally tease you about small things such as dressing up specially for him or being so eager for his touch that you’d make the first move. His teasing is always light-hearted, though he can sometimes unintentionally say something a tad mean and profusely apologizes if you get offended.

Otherwise, Phainon doesn’t tease you much. At most, he’ll toy with your nipples or play with your pussy by lightly touching your clit or skimming a finger through your folds to gauge your state of arousal but won’t edge you. Phainon’s mission is to make you orgasm as many times as possible until you’re thoroughly sated, so he’ll hardly ever deny you that pleasure. The only time he would is as revenge for edging him first.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Phainon is very vocal during sex. One could even say the man hardly shuts up. He moans, groans, and gasps, voice pitching lower from arousal. He also talks a lot, sometimes devolving into senseless babbling when he nears orgasm, usually when you’re the one in control. You will hear him say a litany of praises, compliments, heartfelt confessions of love, and if the mood is right, some romantic dirty talk.

For example, he might say things like “I love you. I love you so much. You feel so perfect against me, as if we were meant to fit together. I’m the luckiest man to call you mine.”

“You’re so beautiful. You have no idea how much the sight of you turns me on. I want to kiss every part of your body until you’re lost in the sensation of my touch.”

“You’re squeezing so tightly around me, my love, it feels amazing. Does this spot feel good? Do you want me to hit it again?”

He talks less when you’re having a more intense coupling since he’s too busy working both of you towards climax to think straight, but in exchange he gasps and moans more, in particular your name.

Loves hearing your moans and sounds of pleasure. Tell him what he’s doing feels good and Phainon will swell with pride and be even more eager to keep going. Moan his name, as well. He likes hearing you call out his name in bliss, it gets him going. He also frequently wonders how his real name would sound on your lips if you were to moan it.

Phainon positively melts when you say you love him. His heart swells with so much love that he fears it will burst, and he’ll hotly whisper that he loves you too before kissing you deeply. He adores exchanging words of affection and love during intercourse, it makes him feel cherished and he hopes to make you feel the same way.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Have an assortment of random headcanons.

- Phainon gets competitive even in the bedroom and sometimes has little competitions with you to see who can make the other orgasm first (usually in the 69 position to keep things fair) or who can refrain from climaxing the longest. One of his favorite competitions is seeing who can give the other the most orgasms since he usually ends up winning.

- He’s amused by your insistence for him to keep his choker on during sex. You claim it makes him look hot, so who is he to deny you? Though expect him to tease you about it.

- Aglaea may have burned his atrocious ochre-yellow shirt and dromas-purple pants, but she did not get her hands on Phainon’s collection of lame underwear. He thinks the dromas and Kephale patterned boxers with gaudy colors look cool and doesn’t understand why you find his choice of underwear funny.

- Phainon enjoys sexting. He’s very good at coming up with erotic yet tasteful messages that get you going and can sometimes get too absorbed in describing all the delicious things he wants to do to you in great detail. He sometimes uses your responses and pictures as masturbation material.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

(A reminder than girth is circumference and not diameter)

Length is 13 cm (5.1 inches) and girth is 10 cm (3.9 inches). Has a pink tip and one vein running along the length of his shaft.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Has a healthy sexual appetite. About 3-4 times a week is the sweet spot for Phainon but depending on how busy both of you are, he will suffice with once per week. To make up for fewer sessions, Phainon will try to make that one session count by making it extra passionate since he’s missed being intimate with you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

You tend to fall asleep before Phainon since he tires you out, but he doesn’t mind. He just wraps his arms around you and holds you close. He kisses your forehead and murmurs for you to get some rest and that he’ll be with you while you sleep.

Phainon doesn’t fall asleep quickly unless he’s really tired, so he spends that extra time admiring your sleeping features with a soft smile on his face. He gently brushes away a few strands of hair out of your face and ensures you’re properly tucked under the covers so you won’t get cold.

he would definitely be the type to love surprising you from behind. how would he do it? hugs! his arms would find its way around your shoulders or waist. he gets to witness everytime how your body tenses up, peeking upwards as to who it may be, he loves watching you relax when you realize it’s just him. he would rest the side of his face against the top of your head, even turning his head to press kisses down on your head. if he’s willing to tease you, which would certainly be common, he would tap your shoulder, then move over to the other side as soon as you rotated your head to see who may need you. once your attention is brought back to what you were previously doing, his arm comes around your waist, pulling you into his embrace, squeezing you tight!

he loves cuddling — there are the rotations, he doesn’t mind being the big or small spoon, it just matters if he is able to hold you! phainon grew up with a dog, so it would be no surprise if he’s cuddly. his favourite spot to cuddle would have to be in the golden wheat fields of his hometown, the thought of resting beneath the sun, with you in his arms? that is something he looks forward to everytime he’s in Aedes Elysiae with you.

2. ACTS OF SERVICE

phainon had explained countless times that whenever his parents would grab their sickles and head over to the golden wheat fields, phainon would grab his, too, and follow them, because he always loved to lend out a hand to people, whether they needed help or not. so it would make sense if He loved to be the one to anticipate your needs, whether hanging your guys’ laundry to dry out in the sun or fetching the groceries to make dinner for you and him.

when your health goes downhill, phainon is on the move to clean your guys’ shared space — vacuuming, dishes, laundry, cooking. please, just leave all of that to him. he panics everytime you try to get up and assist him, he urges you to go lie down. unless you’re the stubborn type, he will lift you off your feet and good luck trying to get off, he’s a pretty strong guy for a man with a puppy-looking face. We all know that from when he ripped aquilia out from the sky. (THAT SCENE, AHAHSHA 🫦)

he will always come and fetch you from where ever you may be; after a hangout with your friends, visiting your family, or finishing a day of work. one message or phone call, he will immediately pick up. Once he knows your location, don’t ever be surprised from how quickly he manages to get there.

3. AN HONOURABLE MENTION: WORDS OF AFFIRMATION.

praises, he will overuse them on you. he would gladly remind you hundreds of times on how you are the dawn light he wants to see every morning when he first awakens.

PET NAMES:

‘(my) dawnlight’.

this specific name is the one you will never escape from, because Phainon’s fondness for the dawn never vanishes away. by the end of everything, a wish of his would be able to witness the dawn rise, as he hopes to see your face first before anything else. when he calls you out by that name to grab your attention, his tone is much lower, allowing the gentleness to really seep out and you can catch how Phainon’s face softens when your eyes meet his, as if you were the real dawn beginning to peek out and phainon was observing the sight.

‘wifey/hubby/partner’.

his intentions are to tease. whenever you are being introduced to somebody by phainon, he would try to trigger a reaction by saying “meet my wifey/hubby/partner, (name).” people start to coo out from how cute the two of you are, making your face explode in a hue of red, while phainon proudly chuckles from succeeding in making you flustered.

PROTECTIVENESS:

is phainon alright with you chatting with others? of course he is, you can chat with whoever. what if it was someone he didn’t know and they were making you feel uncomfortable? that’s the moment he needs to step in.

If the person you are with begins to get handsy towards you and your discomfort was starting to peek out, he makes his way over to your side and brings his arm around your shoulder. his expression neutral, his eye kept on you to ensure your well-being. after that, he will ask if you’re alright or not, listening to any complaints you may or may not have.

however if the person who is with you has a more… unacceptable approach, trying to get closer or pressuring you into something and they are not taking a hint of your visible discomfort, phainon’s approach will be different. rather than his arm moving up to come around your shoulders, his arm will wrap itself around your waist and pull you closer to him — a silent way to reassure you that he will protect you. to get the person to back off, he would give a word that him and his dawnlight will be taking a leave as they have somewhere urgent to head off to. when you two are by yourselves, he would allow any emotions you have built up to come out, whether it may be tears or frustration, he will listen and give the best words he could. It’s clear that you, as a person, are his number one priority.

(a/n): i haven’t written in forever and it lowkey makes me feel bad… :,) i’ve been SOOO busy with exams and have little to no motivation to write. even worse, i’m sick! :((( i hope the people who came from my tiktok are alright with this reupload. for those who are new, i hope you loved my headcanons!

would anyone else like to get tagged in my work? :)

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He cums an average amount. It’s thick, has no smell, and is a healthy white color.

Diluc prefers to come inside you for the added intimacy since he feels closer to you that way. It’s a perfect ending to the otherwise already great moment.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Diluc will never tell you this, but before you had become a couple, you once took a stroll with him around Dawn Winery, when it suddenly started raining. Both of you were soaking wet by the time you made it back to the manor, and the way your wet clothes clung to your figure caught his attention.

Diluc got an eyeful of your bra and cleavage showing through the see-through material of your soaked blouse, and that image seared itself into his brain. Though he quickly averted his gaze and covered you with his coat (“To prevent you from getting cold,” he said, and while true, it was also in part to preserve your modesty), the image never left his mind. It got to him more than he wanted to admit but didn’t show it. If you looked very closely, you would have noticed his reddened cheeks, but otherwise, he remained a cordial gentleman.

Afterward, whenever he masturbated to relieve stress, that memory of you in see-through, wet clothing would float up to the forefront of his mind, arousing him even more. He’s ashamed to admit he masturbated to such fantasies of you, but it would be a lie to say he didn’t enjoy it.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Diluc has no experience. As a young knight, he believed in saving himself for marriage, and after his father’s passing, he was simply too busy to find a partner. Moreover, he has a reputation to uphold as a Ragnvindr nobleman, so Diluc takes care to not tarnish it by sleeping around. As such, he has very little experience with sex, but he is knowledgeable about how to please a partner.

He’s naturally a thorough person, so his approach to sex is thorough, as well. He’s a quick learner and pays careful attention to your directions, so he will hone his bedroom skills fairly quickly. Everything from eating you out, to the type of foreplay you like, to how deep or fast you like it—Diluc will find out everything and take that information to heart. That said, he would love it if you directly told him what you liked and disliked so he could better cater to your needs.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Diluc is fond of positions where he can see your face and easily share kisses or hold your hand. His top favorite is missionary because it allows both those things, plus he enjoys feeling you cling to him during the act.

He also enjoys spooning and feeling your body pressed flush against him while leisurely thrusting inside you.

Diluc is also fond of hiking your legs up on his shoulders or pushing your knees to your chest for a deeper penetration and tighter squeeze around his cock.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Diluc takes sex seriously, so you won’t find him acting silly or cracking jokes. However, if you’re more on the goofy side, then he’ll play along with you and even engage in a tickle fight if he’s in the mood. Overall, he’s serious yet romantic during the act.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Diluc keeps himself well-groomed down there, so he occasionally trims his pubic hair to keep it tidy. If you ask, he’s willing to clean-shave, but otherwise will keep a patch down there. His pubic hair is a few shades darker than the hair on his head.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Diluc is a romantic by nature, so he falls into the category of men who view sex as more than just stress relief and a fun time. To him, it’s an act of making love where he can deepen his relationship with you on all levels. His motto is to woo you before even thinking of engaging in sex. He will wine and dine you, give you a massage, cuddle, take you on a date etc… basically, do all he can to create a relaxing and romantic atmosphere to deepen your connection.

Diluc’s goal is to make you feel loved and appreciated as his lover. He knows he’s not always the best boyfriend at making time for you due to his busy schedule, so he goes all out in trying to relay his romantic feelings and appreciation for you through sex. Sex is not just a physical connection to Diluc, but also an emotional one, and he works hard to maintain that bond.

He’s very gentle and sweet with you. You will be pampered and have your every whim catered to (provided it’s not something harmful). Diluc also whispers a lot of “I love yous” and praises about how beautiful you are. He’s very passionate and romantic during sex.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Diluc doesn’t masturbate often. He is very busy with his day and night jobs, so he doesn’t have a lot of free time. When he does have time to unwind, he prefers to do something more productive than getting himself off. However, there are days when he can’t ignore his sexual urges, so he succumbs to the desire and masturbates. When he does, it’s generally in the bath/shower where he has privacy and can easily clean up the mess from his orgasm. He’s good at staying quiet, but he doesn’t want to risk being caught doing something so improper by his servants.

When masturbating, he used to think about scenes in erotic books he once read or of scenarios he found hot, but after entering a romantic relationship with you, his thoughts gravitated toward you instead. He would remember the sounds of your moans and heated praises, your facial expressions during orgasm, how you tasted on his tongue, and how your mouth felt on his flesh. His memories of you are always effective at getting him to climax, though they come with the side effect of him wanting to experience these moments with you again, making him lust for you.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Diluc is mostly vanilla and is unlikely to try any hardcore BDSM kinks or something risky, but he does have a few kinks he likes. For example, he enjoys worshipping your body by giving you massages, kisses, and compliments. He also has a thing for seeing you in stockings. Whether thigh-highs or sheer tights, he loves them all if they’re on your legs. There’s something so appealing about fucking you with your legs on his shoulders and seeing them clad in stockings. If he gets frisky, Diluc is not above ripping your tights at the crotch to have better access to your pussy but will stop if you chastise him for it.

Diluc likes seeing you in fancy lingerie, the kind that has lace and frills. He thinks you look beautiful and sexy in it. Due to his affinity for your neck, he also enjoys seeing you wear chokers (not collars though). Additionally, Diluc likes to mark your skin in love bites in areas usually hidden by clothes, such as your chest, tummy, and thighs.

Aside from those kinks, Diluc is also intrigued by food and temperature play due to his love for sensuality. With food play, he likes the idea of decorating your body with fruits or drizzling chocolate or whipped cream on it and licking it off. For temperature play, he enjoys blindfolding you and keeps it vanilla and goes for safe options like ice cubes, sex toys, and his mouth and hands (his body temperature is higher than average due to his vision). If you’re interested, he’ll also play around with textures such as running a feather or paintbrush along your erogenous zones or touching your bare skin with gloved hands.

He can also be convinced to try light bondage by tying you up with silk scarves or rope (specially treated to avoid rope burns), and he’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover he enjoys having you at his mercy. He prefers to be in control of such play since he’s more on the dominant side, but he’s open to having you do all of the above to him as well and will find it refreshing to change up the dynamic and be showered in your attention.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

The only places Diluc feels comfortable having sex are your shared bedroom, bathroom, and his office. He values privacy (even more so for an intimate matter like intercourse) but because his manor employs a lot of servants, the only real privacy the two of you have is in your bedroom and bathroom. If Diluc is not expecting visitors or if it’s late at night, he will also fuck you on his office desk, though only once he’s certain the door is locked. His greatest preference is the bedroom, though, because it’s private and has the comfort of your large and extravagant bed.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

There are a number of things you can do to turn Diluc on, whether intentional or not. Dressing up in frilly lingerie, making a few tasteful innuendos, and pampering him with a sensual massage or a romantic bath can all get him in the mood.

Other things that get him going is seeing your curves. Whether display your ass by bending over to innocently pick up a thing you dropped, thereby reminding him of the spicy night before, or hug him from behind and press your boobs against his back—both things work to ignite his imagination and libido. Diluc refrains from acting on his urges because he’s a gentleman, but if you tease him like this enough throughout the day, he will seduce you into bed by nightfall.

Whether you turn him on intentionally or not, you’re the only one who has the power to stoke his lust. As his partner, you have the privilege of making Diluc yearn for you in a way nobody else can.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Diluc refuses to hurt you. The most he’s willing to do is give you light spanks, but otherwise don’t expect him to be rough towards you. He is also against degrading or humiliating you as that is a turn-off for him. He only wants to treat you with love and tenderness, so such demeaning play is not his thing.

Master and servant play is also not his thing, mainly because he has real servants under his employ, so the appeal is lost on him. Plus, he would feel like he’s taking advantage of an employee, which doesn’t sit right with him. He’s also against sharing you with anyone or engaging in exhibitionism.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Diluc is naturally a giving lover, so he prefers giving oral over receiving, though he greatly enjoys both. He loves to hold your hips down while burying his face between your thighs, lapping away at your folds, and attentively listening to every sound of pleasure you make in response. He uses auditory cues to determine what you like best, like which flick of the tongue causes you to buck against his face or which pressure makes you moan the loudest when sucking your clit.

In terms of receiving oral, Diluc will rarely say no, though if given the choice, he would much rather sheathe his cock in your pussy. Don’t get him wrong—he loves the oral you give. He finds it incredibly hot to see you on your knees with his dick in your mouth, and he comes quicker than he cares to admit when he feels the eager way in which you suck him off. There’s just something special about joining his body with yours and pleasing you that he can’t get enough of. Forgive him, he simply loves being intimate and making you feel good.

When you give him blowjobs, Diluc tends to gather hair out of your face so it doesn’t get in your way, or tenderly pets your head while praising your oral skills. Things such as “You’re taking me so well, good girl” or “Your mouth feels incredible around me. Can you take it a bit deeper?” or even “You look so beautiful like this” are a staple when you give him oral.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Diluc usually maintains a slow and steady pace, keeping your comfort in mind. He rarely engages in rough sex because he doesn’t want to accidentally hurt you, plus it detracts from the romance and intimacy of the experience, so he doesn’t enjoy it as much. He likes to take his time to experiment with different angles and depths, finding all the sweet spots that make you writhe in pleasure, and then zero in on them with firm and precise thrusts.

That said, if you get him worked up enough, Diluc will be less gentle and more selfish with his thrusts. His hips will snap to yours at a quicker and slightly rougher pace while pulling you into each thrust by your hips. These kinds of sessions will leave you a little sore afterward, and as an apology, Diluc will pamper you during aftercare, give you a massage, and carry you wherever you need until you feel stable enough to walk on your own.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Diluc is not a fan of quickies. As mentioned previously, he likes to take his time with sex, setting the mood and engaging in plenty of foreplay before diving into the good stuff.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Diluc is cautious regarding kinks, so he won’t suggest or do anything outlandish. He does enjoy experimenting in bed and will suggest things like food or temperature play, light bondage, and new positions you two haven’t tried yet. As long as it’s not something from the No section, he’s willing to discuss any new kink you want to introduce into your sex lives and will make preparations to realize it if it’s something you really want to try.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Diluc’s stamina is higher than average despite being a nobleman. He trained a lot back when he was a knight of Favonius and kept up his training when he began his nighttime vigilante activities, so he’s fit.

In bed, he can last for quite a while. If he really pushed himself to the limit, he could last for 5 rounds (with breaks), but on average, he goes anywhere from 1-3, depending on how much time he has and what you’re in the mood for. The amount of rounds you guys go for usually depends on you.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Diluc doesn’t own any toys and is unlikely to bring any into the bedroom himself. At most, he can bring silk scarves and rope, but things like spanking paddles, ball gags, and handcuffs get a no from him. If you want to try using toys on yourself or him, then he is open to experimenting, though he still prefers to have foreplay and sex without them.

He has no issues with you using dildos or vibrators to get off when he’s unavailable, but he will be upset if you use toys instead of going to him when the opportunity is there. It will make him think he’s not pleasing you enough if you’re resorting to sex toys instead of coming to him.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

As a rule, Diluc is often sweet and tender with you, wanting nothing more than to see you happy. That, combined with his straightforward nature, results in him rarely teasing you in the bedroom. If he’s feeling playful, he might verbally tease you by saying you’re very eager for him or that you look cute in your fucked-out state, but that’s about the extent of it.

He rarely edges or overstimulates you because he enjoys pleasing you too much to be mean, but he can if you’ve been a brat to him. As much as he caters to all your needs, he is no doormat. If you act like a brat, he will be firm and tame you.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Diluc has good control of his voice and can keep it down even when engaging in passionate sex with you. Nevertheless, he does vocalize his pleasure even if he tries to muffle it. Diluc tends to bury his face into the crook of your neck and let out low grunts and quiet moans beside your ear, loud enough for you to hear.

He is also generous with praises and compliments. He says sweet things to you, such as how beautiful you are, how much you mean to him, how good you feel around him, etc… his praises are great for boosting your confidence in the bedroom.

Diluc loves the sound of your moans, but he is wary of being too loud and disturbing the servants. If you moan too loudly, he will muffle your voice by kissing you.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Unless you take the initiative to be sexually intimate, Diluc will wait until marriage to have sex, most likely your honeymoon. Regardless of the circumstance, your first time with Diluc will be slow and tender. He’ll discuss everything with you beforehand and get your full permission before initiating anything. If you change your mind at any point during the session and want to stop, Diluc will stop everything and check if you’re alright. Your comfort and enjoyment during your first time are his top priority, so he doesn’t want to force you into anything you don’t want to do.

If you don’t want to go all the way yet, Diluc is content to explore each other’s bodies whether through oral sex or heavy petting. If you don’t want to have sex, that’s also fine. Diluc will be happy to cuddle with you. It ultimately depends on what you’re comfortable doing because Diluc will match you, no matter what you decide to do.

If you do go through with sex, Diluc will take everything nice and slow, giving both you and him ample time to explore and get used to new sensations. He’ll kiss you lots and give lots of reassurance that you’re doing wonderful, you’re beautiful, and it’s ok to stop at any time. Even though he spends the entire time catering to your needs, Diluc will be very happy that you want to take your intimacy to this level. Exploring these new sides of each other and bringing one another pleasure deepens your bond further, or so he thinks.

As a side note, I also think Diluc fantasizes about starting a family with you. Whether you want children or not is optional, but he hopes to make you his wife and live out the rest of his days with you by his side. Ever since his father passed away and Kaeya left the manor, he was left with the phantom of a family in the face of his oldest servants. However, he doesn’t feel as lonely with you, and it makes him recall what having a family felt like.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

(Friendly reminder that girth is circumference)

12.5cm (4.9 inches) in length and 11cm (4.3 inches) in girth. His cock has several prominent veins running along the shaft (he loves it when you lick them), and a dark red tip.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Diluc’s sex drive is average, but due to how busy he is, he doesn’t have as much time to indulge in lovemaking as he’d like. Generally, he aims for 1-2 times per week, but if one of you is too busy or tired to have sex, he has no problem waiting until you’re both in the mood.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

ZAYNE

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐ knows exactly when your social battery is dying and gets you out of conversations; He notices when your smile starts to thin just a little too quickly in conversations, when your answers get shorter, when your eyes start drifting instead of really landing anywhere. He never interrupts you while it’s happening. He just waits until the exact second it becomes too much for you to keep pretending.

“Excuse me,” Zayne says smoothly when he finally steps in, appearing beside you as if he’s always been there. One hand settles lightly at your back, subtle enough that no one questions it, but firm enough that your shoulders immediately relax. Your coworker is still talking about some article she read, but Zayne’s presence quickly disrupts the rhythm of the conversation.

Zayne doesn't necessarily make it sudden or awkward, just gently redirects it, polite words and his calm authority wrapping around the conversation until it naturally dissolves.

And it's moments like that that make you so so grateful to be married to someone like zayne.

You barely even realized how much you’d been holding in until it’s suddenly gone, like someone finally loosened a tight knot in your chest. By the time you reach his car, the evening air feels colder than you expected. Zayne opens the passenger door for you without a word, like he already knows you’re running on empty.

You slide into the warm interior of his car, sinking back into the seat with a soft exhale, lashes fluttering shut for just a second longer than intended. “Thank you for that, zaynie,” you murmur tiredly as he settles into the driver’s seat beside you.

Zayne glances at you, the faintest curve forming at the corner of his mouth. His gaze softening as his green eyes flicker over your tired expression, brushing a few stray hairs from your face. “Of course, my love."

CALEB

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐ automatically reaches for you when he's excited about something; Caleb has never been good at hiding his enthusiasm—though he's never had any desire to hide it from you. The second he's telling you a story, showing you something cool, or rambling about whatever has caught his attention that day, he's automatically reaching for you without even realizing it.

"Okay, okay, but listen, pips—"

One arm slips around your waist as he talks, pulling you against his side while he launches into whatever ridiculous thing he's currently invested in.

"The wing shape is designed like that for a reason. And if you look here—"

Caleb's excitement only makes him more affectionate. A hand on your shoulder. An arm around your waist. Pulling you closer every few minutes like he physically needs you involved in the conversation. Half the time, he isn't even aware he's doing it.

Too busy sharing something he loves with his favorite person.

And somehow, by the end of it, you've learned absolutely nothing about airplanes, but you've learned quite a bit about how cute your husband looks when he's excited.

XAVIER.

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐ steals your blankets subconsciously but gives them back immediately when you whine; Xavier has this unconscious habit of stealing your blankets like it’s instinct. It starts innocently enough: movie nights, late evenings, him sitting just a little too close until somehow the entire blanket ends up draped over him instead of you.

You don’t even notice at first.

Until you’re suddenly freezing.

“Xavierrrr” you mumble, tugging at the edge of the blanket.

He stirs slowly, blinking up at you like he’s just been pulled out of a dream. There’s a long pause where he processes absolutely nothing, then—

“…hm?”

“you're hogging the blanket, xavi.”

Silence.

"...Sorry, star."

Then, without argument or complaint, he shifts immediately. Still half-asleep and grumbling under his breath, he lifts the blanket off himself and drapes it back over you, carefully tucking it around your shoulders until you're warm again.

The moment he's satisfied, he settles right back down. His arms slip around your waist, pulling you back against his chest with a sleepy sigh. His face buries itself in the crook of your neck, warm and familiar.

Within minutes, his breathing evens out again.

And by morning?

The blanket will somehow be wrapped around him once more.

RAFAYEL

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐ always checks your reflection before his own; Every time you pass a mirror together or find yourselves standing in front of your shared bathroom mirror: Rafayel's eyes find you first.

It doesn't matter if you're dressed up for one of his gallery openings or standing in one of his oversized shirts with your hair half done. His gaze always drifts toward your face before anywhere else.

Most nights, he'll wander into the bathroom while you're doing your skincare, drawn in by your presence more than anything else. You catch his reflection in the mirror as he walks up behind you, arms slipping around your waist before resting his chin on your shoulder. The embrace is loose and familiar, his attention seemingly fixed on your reflection rather than his own.

"Don't stare at me," you mumble, patting moisturizer into your skin. "I look dehydrated right now."

Then his arms only tighten around your waist. "Then you'll be my dehydrated, beautiful muse." He says sweetly, despite the teasing lit in his voice, which makes you roll your eyes as he presses a kiss to your cheek.

"I wonder if I'll still be your muse once I start shedding like a lizard."

Rafayel hums thoughtfully, resting his chin more firmly on your shoulder as he studies your reflection.

"Of course."

"Really?"

"Mm. Then I'd simply paint the most beautiful lizard in existence."

"...you're ridiculous."

Rafayel only smiles, pressing another kiss to your cheek.

"Anything for my muse."
