[The trees are clouds of pink and purple in the spring, wisps of petals whisked into the air by gentle winds as three of Karteria's foxes look for a spot in the park. Niki said today would be a good day for a picnic, and the other two were more than eager to have a nice picnic under the city's blossoming canopy. After Rinne lays down the mat and Niki lays out their meal, Takasugi plays a nostalgic song or two before Rinne applauds him with a loud,]
Gyahaha! Woooo! [The white wine in his cup sloshes around, spilling off the paper rim.] That's our Prez for ya! You sure know how to set the mood under the cherry blossoms, huh?
[The mood that Rinne ruined with his drunken cheering, probably.]
S'too bad Niki can't join in on our fun... I bet he'll like my super Rinne-kun surprise, though!
[He hooks an arm around Niki and gives him a tight hug! Or chokes him, if we're being honest about it.]

Date: 2026-03-28 02:17 pm (UTC)( he's successfully distracted now. no worries.
the only worry is, past the clean stab thanks to niki's piercing skills, the site stains red. the blood isn't clotting properly, and while bleeding is fairly normal for this kind of thing, a wipe or two of towel only reveals more blood at the puncture point. takasugi can smell it, but his brain isn't quite focused on where it's coming from just yet.
it's a good smell, anyhow. blood always tickles his nose with longing. makes him hungry. )
Because that's all pretty cool to think about. Bears are so huge... it'd be fun to get in a suit and try to wrestle one, maybe. Without hurting it, I guess. Though... I bet the three of us could handle a bear barehanded.
no subject
Date: 2026-03-29 01:22 am (UTC)He wipes the spot where the blood appears, the towel under his thumb, and then he wipes it again, and...
Why won't he stop bleeding... It hadn't been this bad with him or Rinne... This is definitely different!]
I wanna eat a bear...
[He's not following the conversation anymore. What should he do? He's not a doctor, and all he really knows about the human body is related to food. Hmm... This might be a problem!]
1/2
Date: 2026-03-29 03:19 am (UTC)2/2
Date: 2026-03-29 03:20 am (UTC)[Rinne shifts, leaning in and upward, hovering over Takasugi like a predator savoring the scent of his prey. They can't let Takasugi know the danger until they've tried to stop it, so they have to be quick. A firm squeeze and tug of Niki's wrist tells him to move his hand aside. When he does, Rinne's hot breath tickles the inside of Takasugi's ear as the smell of blood washes over him like a thick, heady haze. It's enough to make anyone go crazy.]
Kyaha!
[That's fine, though. Anything to save Takasugi.]
Tell me when to stop, Niki. Sometimes I just can't help myself!
[Without warning, he closes his lips around the bleeding spot and starts to suck. Then, a sweet sigh. Then, a hungry moan. Between each smack of his lips, he laps at the wound with wet, hot licks, determined not to waste a drop.]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-29 03:55 am (UTC)( as the flickering heat of a tongue claims his ear, takasugi freezes. he's stiff, knowing that this, at least, shouldn't be happening, a warmth climbing up his neck for every hot puff of air that seeks to clean the site. as his body broadens in a way that shamefully reminds him of where they are and what they're doing, takasugi struggles not to squirm. not to make a single sound, pushing canines against the thin of his bottom lip. everything draws in tight, the wound blooming wet as the skin starts to itch in a way that he's felt before, the sensation meant to stop pain rather than breed it.
his peach gaze drifts upward, and rather than avoiding niki's eyes, he struggles. almost like he's pleading for something. )
no subject
Date: 2026-03-29 06:03 am (UTC)Um, like, now? Your mouth is full of germs, Rinne-kun. Please don't put it on an open wound.
[Oh my god. It's so gonna get infected. They're gonna ruin Takasugi's cute, fluffy ears and it's all Niki's fault!]
Sorry about him, Prez. [He's sure he doesn't have a problem with what Rinne's doing, but it's probably worrying, all things considered! So, Niki explains:] It's just, uh... You're kinda bleeding a little more than I expected. But it'll be okay.
[P... Probably. Probably!! He's trying really hard to stay cool about this, but deep down, he's a little worried that Takasugi's fears are actually coming true here!]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-29 08:37 am (UTC)The imprint's not working, [ he notes in a voice barely above a whisper. This never happened before. The only difference this time was— ] We shoulda done this sober.
[ He remembers reading about it in books. Alcohol thins the blood. That's why his wounds bleed more when he's drunk. He apologized so much the one night he stumbled into Niki's apartment and bled on his shirt... ]
Shinsaku, sit up. Niki, get me a towel. Let's stop the blood first.
[ Gone is the playful lilt in Rinne's tone. They're well past pretending everything is fine. Nothing bad will happen, though. Rinne should earn Takasugi's trust to believe in that much. ]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-29 01:09 pm (UTC)especially when all that was on takasugi's mind was to still the pleasure burning bright through his body, chest labouring for the way those sticky moans of blood being lapped up directly from the puncture point made him feel. they were all well beyond normal at this point, truly, but he could at least try. this isn't the time and place for thoughts like that, anyhow.
takasugi claws at the air, sitting up as he's told. the room spins lightly at first, bed creaking, but he's used to this: being surrounded by those trying to swallow their dignity as something about him goes wrong. )
Everything will be fine.
( a quick, sleepy gaze to check on niki. a reach and a pat alongside rinne's back, reassuring. )
Just take it slow. You've done this before. I'm holding still as possible, ... besides.
( if words of confidence will help, takasugi will deliver them in spades. )
no subject
Date: 2026-03-29 09:59 pm (UTC)[He offers Rinne a clean towel. While he takes care of that, Niki will pour a glass of water for Takasugi, too. It's a little too late, though... Teehee.]
I'd like you to keep as much of your blood as possible, so I'll try to be more careful. It's a good thing you're with us! We'll take good care of you. ♪
[He doesn't need to say all that. Takasugi doesn't seem worried... But he still wants to try and help them relax, both of them.]
Can you give me the earring, Rinne-kun?
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 03:00 am (UTC)[Rinne gives Niki the box, a little rushed. He quickly takes the towel right after, pinching the earlobe with it. He'll keep his hand here until the bleeding stops. Rinne feels stupid for letting Takasugi have his way, but it's nothing Takasugi would want to hear, so he stays quiet.]
It ain't your fault, Niki. I think the alcohol just made him bleed more. [Gently, he combs Takasugi's hair back in place, fondness clear in his eyes. This only happened because Takasugi was so eager. Rinne can't even blame him for it.] We'll get this done in a minute, Shinsaku. Niki's just getting ya some water.
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 03:24 am (UTC)well, that figures. everyone is being so gentle, but. shouldn't the blame lie with takasugi for being so overzealous in the first place? they won't even admonish him for his habits, now that he realizes more properly just what's going on beyond the sudden assault on his ear. beneath the towel, the red starts to thicken and clot. the pierced flesh of his ear is warm, but at least the bleeding has finally stopped. he glances almost sheepishly up at rinne beneath tired lashes. )
It's my bad, Amagi-kun. For making your special gift turn out like this...
( takasugi, admitting he's in the wrong! agents of patho-gen will start raining from the sky soon. )
I can't ever seem to give the two of you a decent memory. If I had a little more self-awareness, then maybe.... or, no. I won't say anything stupid, for all I made you give me a reward you couldn't even enjoy. I'm just excited you're both going to be bound to me. That's all.
( he won't whine. but he kind of wishes he would... wishes he could. even while causing all this trouble, takasugi can't show that sort of frailty so easily. )
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 05:37 am (UTC)The look in Rinne's eyes softens, and he lets go of Takasugi's ear to set the towel aside and hold Takasugi's hand in both of his. Rinne's smile is usually sharp and oozing with confidence, but within the four corners of this room, it is gentle and warm.]
It's fine. What're you being so cute for? Don't even worry about it. If we didn't wanna do it, then we wouldn't even be here. Right, Niki?
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 08:46 am (UTC)Yeah, what are you apologizing for, Prez? [With that done, Niki busies himself with cleaning his hands on another towel. Then, he picks out one of the earrings.] If anything, this just kinda makes it even more memorable. It'll be pretty funny when we look back on this in a few months and remember how you bled all over me.
[It wasn't that bad. Maybe that's not the most reassuring kind of joke, either. Still...]
I probably should have been more thoughtful, too. [Sincerely. This is why he prefers not to tackle things outside of his area of expertise! But this isn't about that right now. All he can do is try to move forward, and...] But I'm just glad that you're excited about this. That makes me really happy. I'm excited about it, too~♪.
[While he talks, he reaches for Takasugi's ear again. Let's see... If the bleeding wasn't keen to stop, even despite the imprint, hopefully that means the hole is still open, too, so he can stick this earring in...]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 05:58 pm (UTC)( immediate, instant denial.
but he'll take the water and sip. imagine having designated drivers for any situation ever. though kusaka, ... he... no. no, let's not think about that right now.
the earring pushes through with a little effort, the leftover cool of the ice cube and his own want to calm down and get this over for their sake with making it easier. a bit of blood crusts on the edges of his ear, but it's nothing that another wipe of the towel can't handle. takasugi sits rigid and still, almost submissive(ly) so as to not interrupt their work. or maybe it's just to avoid showing any embarrassment over his hand being held like a child, when that embarrassment is coupled with joy. still, shinsaku. stay still. )
But when we're done, I'll get to look at this... every day. So. You're right. Before being summoned here, I was just magical energy, and... you could say my earrings weren't real in a sense. They were just whatever I wanted them to be, however I wanted them to be. This is tangible.
( another sip. it isn't often that he talks about not being a real boy, but they've long seemed to just accept whatever comes out his mouth. )
I can put the rest on later to match. Save my cute subordinates another scare, and sober up some.
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 07:10 pm (UTC)Rinne's firm grip slides up from the samurai's hand to his bony wrist.]
Hold it, Prez. We ain't done yet.
[With a knowing smirk, he nods at Niki. His partner remembers Takasugi's reward, right?]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 10:03 pm (UTC)You don't need to go so easy on us, Prez. We can handle it. It's probably better if you don't bleed out, though...
[He's pretty sure that wouldn't happen. Still, for Takasugi's sake, it is probably better if they wait a little longer for the rest. Blood is so messy to clean up, and it's also... way, way too appetizing.]
A deal's a deal. Prez has been a really good boy, so he deserves a prize. [He waves a hand dismissively.] I'll let it slide this time.
["This time," like he hasn't let every single thing that's happened since he moved in with them slide!]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-30 10:12 pm (UTC)But I've already received my reward. All that... uhm. You know.
( all that erotic sucking RIGHT in his ear. is his device nearby? did it record all that?
also... should he be scared for real now, or excited? regardless, his tail betrays him, tapping against the bed.
he makes a half-assed effort to wiggle his thin wrist out of rinne's grasp. but even that is fun, honestly... this exciting feeling of being trapped. )
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 03:28 am (UTC)[Rinne scowls, but not at Takasugi. He grabs Niki by the front of his shirt and tugs on it like a petulant child.]
Niki, we finally got Prez right where we want him. Don't tell me you're not gonna kiss him with me!
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 04:07 am (UTC)No, no, no, there's no way I can do that. [Niki shakes his head.] I don't think Prez is drunk enough for that.
[So if he was more inebriated, it would be okay?!]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 04:35 am (UTC)Oh.
( brain to mouth filter, ruined. at the same time? on his own bed?
or, alright. it's technically a guest bed they gave him. but this is a thought more sobering than the taste of water down his throat, and the soft thump of his tail comes to a crawling halt. he still hasn't rested himself away from rinne's hold, the twinkle in closed eyes like that of a fox that's gearing up to pounce. )
You'll kiss me in front of Shiina-kun, but you won’t give me an innocent peck on the lips at other times? I get you. It's a reward, after all. I just wasn't deserving those other times. Well, that's fine. But if we're going to do this, then I'm kissing Shiina-kun first.
( that's right. let's just apply a little pressure and see whether they fold. )
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 05:03 am (UTC)You're forgetting our pecking order if you're gonna give us a kissing order! Who says you get to kiss Niki first?
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 05:43 am (UTC)Wait. Since when are we kissing me? Why does it feel like I'm being used as a bargaining chip here?
[Hehe, chip... Potato chips...
...wait!]
Can't we just... kiss Prez at the same time? He has two cheeks... And two ears. And lots of other things we could kiss.
[Sorry. If he has to pick a side, Rinne's punishment would definitely be worse(?!), so there's only one option!]
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 05:54 am (UTC)Nice idea, Shiina-kun. You should do it on the cheek, specifically, and nowhere else.
( sure, amagi-kun might be a monarch... and niki's future spouse... and their leader, ... and... his brother, or so he really wishes...
but it doesn't mean he's going to back down when it comes to his stubbornness so easily. not in the face of the man who insisted a kiss meant something. )
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 06:17 am (UTC)Hear that, Niki? The man said he doesn't want a kissing fiend. That's too bad. I reeeeally thought a two-timing lady-killer would understand how we feel...
It's not fair that only one of us gets a bite. Right?
no subject
Date: 2026-03-31 06:34 am (UTC)Actually, he's also, like, a little insulted? He complains under his breath when Takasugi specifies his boundary, petulant.]
I didn't even do anything wrong yet...
[Today. Just today.]
Who says no to free kisses, anyway? That's a pretty good deal, if you ask me.
