from my halloween shorts chosen by patrons; link on sidebar. Patrons pick characters/scenarios each month, have early access to series updates and new fics.
___________ Sunset threads through your fingers. Softer than the fine silk beneath your knees. Surrounded by the scent of roses and wine you let go of all control in your body. A sharp pinch and the haze begins again in the same way rain falls to the ground in spring. There’s beauty in its consistency yet it seems new and astonishing each time. The world fades in the corners as your heart begins to slow.
Chuuya’s fingers dance along your exposed spine. The dress he picked for you tonight cascades lace two feet beyond your ankles. An elegant black mimic of flames dance up your chest leaving your entire back open to his cold hands. Chuuya only took his gloves off when he touched you like this. Almost like lovers.
His fangs reach deeper until your pulse fills his ears. Each time he fed from you a bit of your life dwindled away. Closer time creeps to the eventual decaying of your heart. Chuuya, though, gave you everything. From luxury to gentle affection to endless nights that left you breathless. Chuuya hums in delight hand squeezing your waist, a subtle reminder of who you belonged to. Not to move an inch. Nothing interrupted this precious time with you, not even an itch on your nose.
“Darling, you’re so sweet nothing could compare.’ Chuuya mumbles in your ear, lips coated in sweet carmine. Dizzily, you slump against his toned chest resting your cheek in the crook of his neck. Chuuya felt like stone and spoke like velvet. There was nothing in the world that could replace him.
“Chuuya.” You say weakly, the faint buzzing in your head making it hard to focus. He licks his lips clean and tilts his head down. Watching the way you sway from bloodloss; each time it lasted longer. Hurt more. Took a few more days for you to recover.
“What is it?” He asks, nearly sounding drunk from your sweet taste.
“You won’t let me die will you?”
Chuuya stills for a moment fingers drawing circles over your lower back. Pressing down until you’re slotted against him fully. “Sweetheart, we’ve talked about this.” He finally responds, eyes falling matte. “You’ll go in your sleep and I’ll bring you back again. Always.” He promises, watching you drift off against his chest.
He remains still eyes slanting to the left where the small door in the wall rattles. She was rather hard to contain but soon she’d serve her purpose. A beating heart for you, and another body to satiate the wolves around the castle. “Always.”
✧ He’s a “close to the body” sort of hugger. He doesn’t believe in half-hearted hugs, or any sort of quick hugs. He feels they’re pointless and hold no meaning. You’re dear to him, so in instances where he feels like his words cannot get to you, he’ll use his tight squeezes. He sort of holds onto you like it’s the last hug he’ll ever give, in his type of work, there’s no telling what could happen (though he does his best to stay safe because he wants to come home to you).
✧ He loves hugging you from behind. He’s obsessed with the smell of your hair and how warm your neck is on his face. Those two things calms his nerves, relaxes his muscles and sets his mind at ease. Hugging you from behind just makes him want to pour his heart out to you, saying how much you mean to him even if you tell him you already know.
✧ He’s a sucker when you hug him from the front when your arms are wrapped around his neck and his arms around your waist. It’s a very intimate position because he loves touching foreheads with yours. Also kissing. He loves kissing you.
✧ He’s an absolute romantic, his hugs also comes with many kisses and now, unlike his hugs which are very endearing, he has a lot of kisses to spare with those (he likes to give many small pecks to your cheeks).
✧ He gets a little handsy when he hugs sometimes, he’s so intoxicated with your body that he may or may not give that cute little bit of yours a firm squeeze.
⁃ Asagiri: “Now that I think about it. Chuuya was really perfect.” ⁃ Harukawa: “I mean it took such an incredibly long time!”
⁃ Asagiri: “We might have spent the most time on Chuuya. There were just so many patterns.
⁃ Harukawa: "We couldn’t decide on the abilities without deciding on the character designs, and everyone was troubled… We even sat at a cafe till 4 in the morning without coming to a conclusion and leaving.” ⁃ Asagiri: “It was decided that he was going to be Dazai’s ex-partner, but the authors had a connection in real life, and we worried over what kind of character to make him into. It was just confirmed that he was short (omg lmao ). Thanks to that, Chuuya’s really popular now. I always felt like he was going to be a popular character, that’s why I refused to go easy.”
—Seems that Chuuya Nakahara’s character settings were decided amidst some difficulty. His wild eyes are the root of his popularity —
