Summary: Bangtan is one of the most vicious mafias on the west coast. Only six members are known by name though, with a mysterious seventh member dubbed only as ‘the shadow.’ When you become indebted to the worst of the worst – how, exactly can you find a way out?

One of the many things that make me insane about the chaos walking books are the parallels between the characters. I could talk about them for DAYS. Viola and Mistress Coyle. Todd and Mayor Prentiss. Mayor Prentiss and Mistress Coyle. Davy and Todd. The return and Todd. Ben and Mayor Prentiss. The Sky and the Return. The Sky and the Return and the Mayor and Todd and so on and so forth until you combust.
Some of these specifically keep me up at night. The Sky telling the Return "you have no father, I have no son , we should totally be a found family" and the mayor constantly telling Todd that he's proud of him , that they are connected, forcing this bond between them , forcing him into the role of his son while the Sky asks, the mayor creating this test where to become part of the men of Pressintown you have to kill someone while the Sky's test is not to kill, to be able to show mercy, let go of anger to join the Land. Either way both Todd and The Return find themselves unable to kill, they are both angry and broken and Todd does hate Aaron and seek vengence just like The Return hates Todd but in the end they can't kill. but then there's Todd killing a spackle with a knife and The Return unable to stab Ben but he kinda kills Todd with a rifle while Todd purposefully doesn't shoot any spackle with his rifle during the first fight of the war And and and both the mayor and the sky die but while the Sky's memory is treasured and the Return is proud to follow in his footsteps Todd will never become like the Mayor ( who is only remembered as a horror story I hope )
There's so many characters mirroring each other it's insaneeee like mistress coyle and the mayor who both believe they are so high and mighty and so different but when it comes down to it they are both deranged fucking people obsessed with control. They go about it in different ways , one a murderer and the other a terrorist, they make sides and they fight and he poisons people and she's a healer but when it comes down to it she almost blows viola up with a bomb while the mayor saves Todd's life countless times. They are so obsessed with power and control that when they see it getting permanently out of their reach they kill themselves. She , "the martyr", "the voice of the people", goes out with a bomb while him "the president of the world", "the general", tries to leave behind countless deaths in a war he designed to have no winners. THEY ARE FUCKING INSANE YOUR HONOR "(if she wins) you'd be swapping one tyrant for another" YEAH WE NOTICED and and and do you see how they're unstoppable forces ?? The only reason they are defeated is because they defeat themselves!! No one else in the whole new world could have stopped them otherwise!!! AND did you guys notice how they were such better people in the past?? Mistress Coyle helping the protagonists of The wide open sea and Todd's mom describing the Mayor as a good man at the beginning of her journal??? But then power got to them , the need for control made them such horrible people
hello??*reaches through the screen to shake you* CAN YOU HEAR ME ?? Am I onto nothing???
i can't begin to explain what this shot is doing to me-
it was never about trust. they're brothers. they don't leave their own behind. they gave each other chance after chance even after having been betrayed so many times.
so no, it's not about trust. it's about the pain that is so personal. they hurt each other in ways no one else ever could, and no one else could ever fix. they throw everything they've got at each other, they know each others greatest weakness and insecurities and fears. a lot of things they don't mean, but they have to say, because it's the only way to get an honest reaction from the other. so they can be vulnerable again and open and that's when they can start to really forgive each other.
theres a hint of "i want you to feel my pain" in every vicious accusation. we, as the audience, know exactly what they each have been through in their time apart, but they don't.
they owe each other a lot of explanations and apologies, but first, all their pent up anger and hurt needs to come out.
THIS SCENE!!!! 😭❤
just a small scene i'm adding to episode 5
brothers (and Batcher)
The return in a nutshell
♡ extra #1 : marking mishaps ♡
in which : your boyfriend decides to show you how serious he is about your relationship by taking a big step.
(fem reader pronouns, marking and blood but no gory descriptions ! lots of physical affection, messy descriptions of kissing im sorry yall its my first time😞🤞🏽, pure fluff tho all in all short n sweet dragon bkg just how we love ‘im, lemme know if i missed sum else <3)
your dragon man has been extremely affectionate lately. he always is, in his own way, but it’s been getting a little weird.
usually, whenever you come back from work, you’re always greeted by your katsuki cleaning up the kitchen from when he’d just made dinner. hanging around the kitchen with the cute black ‘kiss the cook’ (with a skull printed on to fit his tastes) apron you’d gotten him as a gift for your first christmas. he’d snarled at you and threatened to eat you alive and it’s a little too tight on him, but he will not touch the stove if he isn’t wearing his favorite little apron first, big horns and scaly red tail and all.
he, usually, always greets you with a knock of his forehead to yours and a soft nuzzle of his nose against yours, you’d learned it’s actually a pretty affectionate greeting for dragons, before he looks away in embarrassment and gruffly telling you to sit down and eat.
however lately he’s been awfully..romantic. he still knocks his forehead against yours but when he does there’s no soft “bonk” anymore. instead, it’s a soft press and his hair tickling against your forehead, he nuzzles you again and leans in to kiss you. it’s nothing too crazy, but it’s much more intimate in a way and you can’t help but breathe against his lips every time you pull away. before he shoo’s you back off again, telling you take off your shoes so as not to get the floor dirty.
he’s somehow even clingier, something you thought was impossible, but your boyfriend keeps surprising you every day. he’s especially more touchy when you’re about to leave for work, always insisting on you hugging him before you leave lest he gets cranky.
but there’s always something that happens whenever he gets touchy like this. he’s always, always, somewhere near your neck.
he sneaks up behind you and places his head into your shoulder and runs his hands up and down your sides, he nuzzles his face into your neck when he gets tired while you’re watching a movie and sometimes he’ll even just sniff at you, claiming you ‘smell different there’. once he even nipped at your nape and when you yelped in surprise, your head flying back ready to scold him, you’re met with his eyes widening, like hadn’t had any control over his actions before he quickly throws out a weak apology in favor of hiding his face inside your neck. it’s a little weird, but you shrug it off, another thing you’ll have to look up online. then again, fanfiction doesn’t seem to be a very reliable source, so you guess you’ll have to pry it out of your grumpy male wife boyfriend some other time.
today is wednesday, which means you have the day off. naturally you spent the whole day lazing around with katsuki when he came back from the gym. you’re glad he’s finding more hobbies for himself, but you miss your dragon man when he’s gone too long. you think it’s probably because he’d been so uncharacteristically doting lately and scold yourself for being childish.
you’ve finished eating dinner and washing the dishes and it’s movie time. it’s katsuki’s turn to pick and you’re pretty into it, but katsuki seems to be regretting his choice because he won’t stop bothering you.
you glare at him from his little cave in your shoulder, again, and smack his finger reaching up to poke at your cheek, his smirk widens when he sees your expression.
“focus on your movie” you accentuate, tugging at his horn, he simply smirks wider, clearly thriving off of your attention being completely on him.
“this shit’s boring.” he mumbles childishly and you roll your eyes. he runs his finger along the side of your face “like doin’ this better.”
“is my discomfort that amusing to you ?” you deadpan.
“yep.” he quips without missing a beat “s’my favorite thing to do.” the rest of his sentence is drowned out when he shoves his head into your shoulder, hiding his eyes from you. you look up at the ceiling and back at the tv to push your cheesy smile away. you run a hand through his hair, heart kicking a bit when he chuffs in appreciation.
“pissing me off ?”
“mhm.”
“lovely.” he huffs a laugh into your skin in response and you tug at the ends of his wheat blonde strands, he growls and pokes at your sides and keeps doing it when you squeal, until you push his hands away, and the mood suddenly shifts when he huffs again and weaves his fingers with yours and lifts them next to your head. you let out a little grunt when he scoots closer to you and throws his leg over yours, as if he isn’t already practically laying on top of you.
he presses a kiss once, twice and then two more times from the base your neck to crook of it “i love you, shit human.” he mumbles between wet kisses “say it back.”
you giggle at his childish demands, wrapping your arms around his neck you press a kiss right next to his temple, being wary of not poking your eye out with his horn. “i love you too, my handsome dragon man.”
he groans and full on squeezes and grips your sides when you call him by the petname you like to tease him with. you let out a laugh, throwing your head back a little. he grumbles again and you roll your eyes at the cheap warning.
“alright, alright. i love you too, katsuki.” you concede, still giggling out the rest of your sentence. you come to an abrupt stop though, when he peeks up to look at you. there’s doubt swirling in his eyes and he avoids your gaze, which you’ve come to learn he does when he’s debating on what to say. you don’t want to rush him, so you let him think for a moment before he speaks up.
“you do..” he says, though it almost sounds like he’s asking you. so you nod with a sweet smile “i do, of course i do.” you say with intent, hoping that would somehow be able to convey at least half of the amount of love you have for your silly dragon boyfriend.
he looks towards the tv, or focuses on something next to it before looking up at you again. “yeah..” is what he says, before he slowly leans in, he looks oddly vulnerable like this, and you slowly lead him to meet you halfway for a sweet kiss.
it’s starts off as a few soft pecks at first before he’s sitting up to loom over you. you sit for a good minute simply staring at each other before he leans in for a deeper kiss, swiping his tongue against your lower lip and you oblige, sighing happily when he breathes against you and tries to push you back against the couch. you grab onto his shoulders to remind him you’re still both here laying down on the couch, and he pulls away, pressing his nose against yours as an apology before diving back in. you both pull away panting slightly when you pull away, his cheeks are red and his tail thumps against the couch and you can’t help but think he looks so cute like this. you wrap your arms around his shoulders when he hides his red face in your neck again.
“i—i wanna..” he starts softly, muffled by the fabric of your clothes “i wanna do somethin’ to ya.”
your eyebrows furrow in confusion but katsuki still finds the time to nudge his head against you when you stop rubbing his shoulders, you start to soothingly rub his back again
“yeah ?”
he nods “but i dunno if you’ll like it. dunno if you’ll want me to..” he trails off. now you’re really confused. “if i want you to do what ?” you ask. he mumbles something into your neck and you softly tug at his horns like he’s a bull to pull his head up to look at you, it doesn’t work because he’s him and he’s stubborn. he only groans when you stop your soothing ministrations on his back, you decide to use that to your advantage.
“katsuki, m’gonna need you talk to me properly, otherwise i won’t know what you want, hun.” you sing, he grumbles petulantly but his shoulders relax a little at your tone of voice “i’ll cuddle you all you want if you do, promise.” his shoulders eventually sag at the promise of cuddles and him lifting his head up to peer at you with his red eyes and matching red face has you involuntarily smiling at him.
“hi, you.”
he simply huffs in response, looking off to the side like he isn’t pink to the tips of his ears. he groans, “ i—i wanna…mark you.” he finally admits.
you tilt your head. marking..you think katsuki’s friend, ashido had briefly told you about it. she’s usually your guidebook when it comes to explaining dragon stuff, but she’s hard to reach out of the blue for obvious reasons. she’d hyped it up to be one of the—if not the most romantic things ever.
“ i thought that was mating ?” she shakes her head excitedly, wrapping an arm around you and ignore katsuki’s scorching glare from the open kitchen. she brings you in close like what she’s about to say is supposed to be a well kept secret.
“mating’s part of it, but that’s only a part. marking is the real deal.” she explains, you nod intently. “you can claim someone to be your mate without taking responsibility for it all the time, but it’s frowned upon by the elders an’ yadda yadda,” she waves off, blowing a raspberry and making a hand puppet motion with her hand “but when you mark someone, you’re in it for life !”
“oh, katsuki told me something similar to that..” you recall, eyebrows raised curiously. mina seems to forget her literal dragon like strength and squeezes you closer to her, she turns towards the kitchen with “bakugou ! why didn’t you tell yn this stuff? it’s basic info !” she throws him a catlike grin when he snarls at her “or did you forget..?” she grins. a rage lights in your boyfriend’s eyes and immediately fires back.
“like hell i did !” he throws the towel he’d been washing the dishes with on the counter, throwing her an accusatory glare “it’s not like i was gonna explain all this stuff out of nowhere..never asked so..” he trails off bitterly, untying his apron and your heart squeezes every time you see him with it on, but your head tilts at how quiet he’s suddenly went. “and let yn go. gonna squeeze her to death if you keep at it.” he growls, barely looking up at ashido and stalking off to throw his apron into the washing machine. the pink skinned dragon girl profusely apologizes to you and you quickly reassured her, telling her not to take your boyfriend too seriously.
but a part of you kept on thinking about how quiet katsuki was for the rest of the evening.
so that’s what this was about, you think.
“it’s fine if you don’t want to..” you quickly shush him before he can continue. you love your katsuki, and you love that he wants to share this big step in his culture with you, it makes you happy and warm inside so you shush him “i do want to,” his eyes widen at your words, eyebrows practically flying to the back of his head “but isn’t that a pretty..serious thing ? i remember ashido saying it.” you tread. his eyebrows furrow in confusion and he raises his head to look at you better.
“we tell each other i love you, isn’t that also serious to you humans ?”
“yeah but it’s different isn’t it ? like, here you can say you love someone but break up later. if you…” you trail off when your heart pangs at the thought of your next words. “if you..mark me..you won’t be able to do it again right ? if you decide you don’t wanna be together later down the line then..” you can’t bring to finish your sentence and katsuki doesn’t let you. because he bites your ear.
“OW—fuck ! katsuki, what the hell ?!” you exclaim, trying to push him off of you, but it doesn’t work, because of course it doesn’t and he latches on to you harder like the big lizard he is.
“there, like you better like this. hate when you sound all scared like that” his words sound really mean and you scoff and shove at his shoulder, but you know deep down you understand what he means. he scoots down to lay his head onto your stomach. he stares and you want to poke at his cute cheeks but he somehow senses it, grabbing onto both your arms and urging you to listen with his eyes. his hands are warm and your shoulders relax.
“listen, human. there’s no one. absolutely no one else on this shitty planet i’d ever wanna mate with besides you.” he says, never breaking eye contact despite his cheeks heating up “ i thought about it too, long and hard, so don’t try to tell me i’m confused or whatever, because i’m not.” he affirms, squeezing your wrists
“marking is..a pretty big step, yeah.” he admits. he breaks eye contact for a moment but his eyes immediately land back on your own like he’s being pulled towards you. “but it’s what i wanna do. with you. you’re it for me, i’ve told you that.” his eyes soften the more he speaks and your shoulders relax in turn. you sigh
“okay, if you’re sure..” you nod, he hums in satisfaction and grabs your wrists to place your hands on top of his head and signaling you to move. you laugh a little and roll your eyes when he closes his eyes as if already knowing you’ll start up soon. and he’s right because you do, and a happy noise rumbles deep from his chest. “course i am.”
“but how would that even work ? i can’t mark you back.” you ask meekly, gripping his shoulders when he leans in close to brush his lips against yours again, and he licks at your cheek to make you huff out a laugh.
“doesn’t matter. i already know you’re mine without the mark.” he mumbles into your shoulder, pressing sloppy bites and kisses to it “just want everybody to see you are.” his words have your stomach tying itself into knots. your insides feel warmer and you feel your hands grow sweaty on the fabric of his shirt. you don’t know if katsuki can somehow feel your change of mood in the air, but he lifts his head up to gaze at you softly, with all the love his body can carry.
“you nervous ?” he whisper against you, you shiver.
“a little.” you admit “isn’t it..gonna hurt ?”
“a bit, yeah.” you wince at his words. katsuki kisses your cheeks to soothe you “but just for a bit, an’ then it’ll be gone. s’that good ?” he asks for your approval again. you take a deep breath and nod with a smile, he smiles back softly. then he leans in, runs his nose against your nape and sinks his teeth into your flesh.
it feels like a pinch at first, and you gasp at the slight sting of pain. your muscles tense up and you squeeze your eyes shut. you grip katsuki’s shoulders and he pushes you onto the couch when you lift yourself off instinctively. you let out a quiet noise when he runs his tongue over the mark with a groan, as if trying to ease your pain. it feels better, warmer after a minute of his actions and you slowly relax, following katsuki’s movements and laying back against your couch with a sigh, while the movie drones on in the background.
he stays latched onto your neck for a moment longer before he pulls away with a wet pop, he licks and kisses at the spot he’d bitten you in while you let out quiet sighs and whimpers, and then he’s lifting himself up to look you in the eyes and he’s breathing so heavy, he looks disheveled and you don’t think you’ve ever seem him look more like he’d just ran a marathon than now, even when he’d just gotten back from the gym. you can practically feel his heart beating against yours when he leans down to kiss you, you taste a bit of iron on his lips.
when you pull away he softly nudges and nuzzles his nose against yours and your cheek. “you alright ?” he utters against your jaw, you nod, unable to speak yet and you hide your face in his shoulder and grip his arms, too overwhelmed with emotion. you hear and feel him huff almost proudly when he flips you both over in the blink of an eye to lay on top of him.
“wasn’t too bad ?” he asks, gravely voice soft, you shake your head no “s’it hurt ?” you shake no again. he hums and runs his hands up and down your sides to soothe you. “good. it’ll heal sooner than you know.” he eases, pressing his your temple to whisper the words intimately onto your skin.
“means you’re mine now, officially mine.” he corrects, finally you look up at him and feeling how he tenses, you lean towards him and press a kiss to his nape, right where he’d bitten you to make you officially, his.
“was always officially yours.” you murmur into his skin, you smile when you feel him purr in content and him squeezing your sides appreciatively.
“hell yeah you were.” he boasts. you look up and smile at him mischievously.
“that means you’re all mine too,” your giggles grow louder the more you see his cheeks heat up and he scoffs a laugh, shaking his head.
“well, yeah.” he smirks simply “i always was.” his eyes and tone soften at his last words and your heart grows even softer and mushier for the big lizard man that had blasted through your wall so many months ago.
mark or no mark, you were always katsuki’s to begin with. and he was all yours.

fluff n cats !!, cooking but nothing bad but like you slap katsukis ass once lolololol
it's 8:45 pm, and you're still not back from work.
you usually tell katsuki when you're running late before hand, or you call him from work to warn him. it makes him grumpy, sure. but he's at least glad you let him know.
but tonight you didn't and it makes him even grumpier.
at this point he's thinking about heading out and finding you himself. he picks you up from work sometimes, but you don't like it because apparently he 'mean mugs your coworkers.' your words not his. he looks out of the window, the rain is beating down against them. it's pouring outside, he frowns.
maybe, you're running a little late at work and you just forgot to warn him. sure, it happens. and you are an idiot (but you're his idiot). but..there's a small, little doubt buzzing around in his head like a fly. and it annoys him.
what if something happened to you ? just the thought makes his whole body buzz in anger.
fuck it. he practically jumps up from the couch and prepares to put his shoes on when he hears knocking on the door. katsuki's ears perk up and he's zooming to the door, faintly catching your scent. he hears the jingling of what he knows are your keys but he's already faster than you. you're absolutely soaked, holding onto a grocery bag and cradling your work blazer to your chest. katsuki's just about to scold you, when he sees something..furry in your blazer ?
you don't respond when he asks you anything and push past him. he stays frozen by your front entrance while you run around your apartment until you stay in your room. and he swears he could hear you talking. he's jumps slightly when he hears you call for him.
immediately he barges into your bedroom, and despite being soaked down to the bone your all smiles. beckoning him over to you, his eyebrows furrow.
"what the fuck are-"
"shh, shh!!" you hurriedly press your finger over your lips, beckoning him over to the blanket in front of you. he holds back what he wants to say and the closer he gets the more the furry little mass comes into view.
"look at him, isn't he cute ?!" you whisper yell, cooing softly when the little animal meows at you.
a cat.
he's not completely unfamiliar with them. he sees them sometimes while he's out on runs or doing the groceries. you always squeal loudly whenever you see them and rush to pet them. the one's he sees are usually fatter, bigger than this scrawny little thing.
"where'd you find this thing ?" he squats next to you, scowling as the little furry beast mewls, eyes squinted closed. you send him a look.
"i found him..in an alley all alone in the rain, i couldn't just leave him there !" you pout at him, katsuki squints at you despite his heart kicking in his chest at your cute expression "doesn't he look cute ?"
he looks back towards the little creature. it's nuzzling it's head against your hand you've got pressed to support its blanket dome. "it's small." he settles. you roll your eyes "he's a baby." you shoot back.
"is the shit you dumped in the living room for him ?" you look back at him like you'd been caught, eyes immediately darting back to the kitten. "it's just until i can find him a new home, he's in rough shape.." your eyes droop. one thing katsuki will never admit is that he truly admires your empathy, you seem so saddened about the frankly poor state of the little creature. you'll get sick if you stay in your wet clothes any longer yet all you focus on is chatting with the little kitten, baby talking back at it.
it does look pitiful, maybe because of it's fur sticking up every way because you had just dried it off, or maybe its still shivering little form curling up in the blankets. katsuki doesn't care about anything or anyone in the human realm except for you, but his heart squeezes just a bit at the tiny sounds the kitten releases. he doesn't think he could get used to how small every creature is here. even what you qualify as a big dog here doesn't even come close to what he'd classify as one.
tentatively, he reaches one big finger towards the kitten. it looks like it could fit in his whole palm. " fuck, it really is small."
his words earn him a giggle, your eyes soften as you see them both interacting "what, you finally realised ?" he scoffs, his eyes not leaving the cat as it curls its head towards his finger, obviously attracted to his warmth. you can't blame him. "aw, he likes you !" you squeal. katsuki only huffs, his nose scrunches up at your words. " it wouldn't survive a day back where i'm from, too small and weak."
"don't be mean," you reach to pinch his cheek, and he ducks away from you with a growl. he slowly pulls his finger away from the cat to knock his forehead against yours, you grumble and he smirks, of course. ever the little shit.
"go shower, yer fuckin' soaked. gonna catch a cold." he grabs you by your shoulders to walk you out of the room despite your protests of wanting to watch over the kitten. "i got it." is all he says, pushing you out the door. you sigh, shaking your head, a smile grows on your face. you forgot to get a change of clothes, but you know katsuki will get some for you later, and you hurriedly walk over to the shower. as much as you want to spend time with a cute kitty and your dragon man you're more than happy to get out of these cold clothes.
when you're done showering, you've changed into the fresh clothes that katsuki had indeed dropped in while you were showering (not before scolding your dumbass for forgetting, of course). you're met with the sweetest sight. your boyfriend holding the little bundle of blankets in his arms while he's watching tv. you try your best to squeal quietly so as not the startle the kitten. you snatch your phone from your bedroom to take a picture, your boyfriend growls lowly at you, it seems like he doesn't want to startle the kitten either. you decide to use this to your advantage.
"shh, shh don't scare him !" you smirk. the shifter glowers at you.
"cut that shit out." he grits out.
"what happened while i was gone, katsu ?" you coo. you don't know if it's the camera on him, the petname or your tone of voice that has pink blend onto his ears, but it makes the sight that much cuter. you can't help but giggle.
"fuckin' thing didn't want me to leave, kept whining." he explains.
"i mean, you are warm." you shrug, he is not happy with your answer. clearly. because he growls again. "what am i, a damn heater ?!" you both hold your breaths when the tiny ball of fur yawns, but doesn't wake up and readjusts in katsuki's lap. you let out a sigh of relief while the blonde huffs, relaxing just a bit, he scoffs to himself.
"you gonna keep standing there or are you gonna bring your ass over here ?"
"i'm thinkin' about just staying here, i'm really liking this view." you giggle at his eye roll, tucking your phone into the pocket of your sweatpants and slowly making your way onto the couch. you manage to cuddle up next to katsuki without disrupting the cat and sigh happily when he bumps his nose into your hair. a deep rumble comes from his chest that resembles a cat's purr and it makes you giggle. you decide not to comment on it lest katsuki feels insulted for being compared to something so small.
the groceries you'd made last minute for the cat have been tucked away on the kitchen counter and you smile, kissing your dragon man's chin. who chuffs happily despite not looking away from the tv. you close your eyes, happy that your boyfriend was okay with the kitten staying for a while.
you've fallen asleep after a while, he knew it was coming, but katsuki knows it'll be a bit annoying to have to tuck you into bed while also not waking up the tiny little creature. he sighs, running his nose to your eyebrows. you and your stupid empathy..
but in the time you took to shower. the clingy little feline managed to make katsuki's heart squeeze just a bit, it shouldn't flatter itself though. he can it admit that like this, fully dry, quiet and asleep. it doesn't look all bad. dare he say kind of cute.
the worry from earlier finally catches up to him and he knows he should just bring you all to bed, but he can't be bothered to wake you up right now. besides, he might wake both you and the cat up. he'll only close his eyes for a bit and wake up a bit later.
before he falls asleep, katsuki can admit that that's major bullshit.
nevermind. forget anything positive he said before. katsuki hates this mangy fucking cat.
it's only been two days. two. days. and the pest (or tofu, miso, mochi and every other food related name your dumbass uses as a place holder name) thinks it's just the king of the house now. the bastard thinks he's earned the right to prance around like he owns the place just because his face isn't unbearable to look at, fuckin' bastard.
he's hyper, he whines when you don't let him sleep in the bed with you, so katsuki's earned himself a scratch on his cheek from the mangy demon deciding to attack his face first thing in the morning. he's bossy and greedy, and so loud. and those god forsaken "zoomies" drive him up a wall. especially when he wants katsuki's food knowing damn well he's got a bowl of perfectly good cat suited food waiting for him. you claim he's just a chattier cat and it's so annoying. the cat loves to act like it wasn't sent from hell just to torture katsuki when you're around. curling up to you and meowing at you, and you meow right back like you're having a riveting conversation ( if he didn't hate the damn thing so much he'd think it was cute..and he still kinda does unfortunately..)
what probably pisses him off the most though is that you spoil the little furball to the ends of the earth.
and yeah, sure, he's a baby. he needs to be nurtured and taken care of. whatever, big. fucking. deal. katsuki's been a baby before and he's sure he wasn't this insufferable..maybe a bit--but not that much !
you squeal oh so loud when the vile creature does literally anything, swooning when he purrs as you scratch behind his ears. when he does a big stretch, when he yawns, when he eats, when he breathes. you're on him, and it pisses him the fuck off.
and, no. it's not because you spend way more time with the cat you've known for two days than your own mate. it's definitely not because you cuddle and fall asleep with the cat, it's not even because you coo at tofu/miso/mochi/the fucking demon like he's just the most precious thing the world. not because you giggle and smile at him, and he's not mad because you're only supposed to with him. at all.
...okay so maybe he was a little mad about it, so what ?! dragons are naturally possessive creatures. and no matter what it is, katsuki doesn't like it when it takes your attention from him for too long. you wouldn't get it, fuck you.
so here he is, shivering to death while you're cuddled up with your cat from hell. he hears the stray purr loudly, like he's taunting him. he scowls.
katsuki's actively sitting as far away from you on the couch as possible. which you find weird because you'd brought out you're cuddle blanket, although with katsuki around every blanket is the cuddle blanket.
his arms are crossed and he scowls at the movie he'd picked out. immediately you could tell something was wrong, your katsuki senses tingle. you stop playing around with tofu as you call out for him. katsuki offers you a side glance and a side glare at the kitty and a grunt in response.
you'd sensed this animosity between him and miso since the day he'd woken up with a loud scream because the stray had decided to pounce on him. a pretty rude awakening you can admit, and katsuki had been grumpy the entire morning until you'd given him a get better kiss and a little band aid. ever since then you'd catch him and mochi having staring matches and you could feel the tension in the air, like static crackling.
and you could in fact feel the burning against your back of what he probably thought was his subtle glances at you and the kitty when you'd play or so much as interacted with it. but c'mon, who could blame you ?! he was the cutest cat ever !
but you should've known with your boyfriends clingy streak, and his dramatic ways, this wasn't bound to end well.
"come sit next to me, baby," you coo, pouting your lips. you know the offer is tempting to him, but your boyfriend is nothing if not dramatic, he scoffs at you.
"'m not sitting nowhere near that fucking demon." he sasses, you snort. "mochi is harmless, you just need to learn to get along."
he turns to you, insulted "i was fine with the little beast until he decided to wage war on me !"
"i'm sure he didn't mean to scratch you, he was just excited !"
"he fucking drew blood ?! he wants me dead !" he scoffs, before adding a challenging "good luck with that." scoffing as the kitty stays curled up next to you. you can't help but snort.
"he's a baby, suki."
"so ? you're just saying that 'cus he's attached to your hip. the damn yowler's even tryin' ta steal my mate from me." you laugh then, startling tofu and making katsuki roll his eyes. you slowly unwrap yourself from the blanket, wrapping it around tofu who blinks at you. you crawl over to your boyfriend, placing your head in his lap. you smile up at him as he scowls down at you, huffing hard.
you put your palms on his warm cheeks, his eyebrows furrow harder as you coo at him "my dragon man's feeling a little left out isn't he ?feeling a little touch starved ?" you tease, rubbing at his cheeks.
katsuki growls at you, his eyes droop just a bit at your touch. "you're fuckin' crazy. i hate you." you laugh hard, hands dropping from his face. he leans down to huff in your face, chest rumbling as you blow in his face as payback. he presses his palm to your face complaining that 'your breath stinks', having trouble hiding his smirk.
you lean up just enough to press your nose to his like he always does for you, his eyes widen "dummy.." he mutters, pink taking over his ears. he presses his nose to yours affectionately and kisses your lips roughly.
" i'm your mate, yeah ? you don't have to worry about anything. miso just needs to be taken care of." you reassure. katsuki squints at you, looking away again with a pout. "i know that. and i wasn't worried."
"yeah ?"
"yeah." he huffs, knocking his forehead to yours "stop calling him that name, it's stupid."
you scoff, revolted "it's adorable !"
"it's stupid." he reiterates "you can't even settle on one."
" shush," you take the opportunity to scratch at the spot behind his horn. watching as he melts, chuffing happily into your neck. you smile to yourself, not worried your ass.
you feel his strong arms wrap around you as best he can in your position, trying to keep you away from a certain kitty. unfortunately, he seems to forget how little the feline is as it manages to squeeze itself right in his arms. katsuki's head flies up and you jump.
"who the fuck do you think you are, hah ?! think you can just get comfy on me after drawing first blood ?!" miso is unbothered, lifting his head up to yawn at your boyfriend causing you to snort. your dragon man doesn't find it the least bit funny though "oooh, you're just soo comfy, huh ?" he turns to you "see ? i swear he wants to fuckin' fight me."
you laugh again, placing your hand against his back and rubbing slowly, reaching for the cat with your other hand but katsuki intercepts it, showing it off to him and taunting him about how you were his mate like a child. you shake your head affectionately, having two boys fight over your affection like this was not something you expected to happen in your lifetime.
you wake up the next morning a little later than usual, free of work, and your welcomed with a lovely surprise. your dragon boyfriend cooking you breakfast, covered only by his kiss the cook apron and with a little fur ball perched on his shoulder. which could be a little dangerous since they're both perched right above the stove, but they both look pretty comfy.
"you gotta wait thirty more seconds before you flip the pancakes. if you flip 'em even a second before or after they'll be fucked, got it ?" the kitten meows in response and katsuki grunts, turning back to his food. you pad over to the kitchen, phone in hand, katsuki glares at the sound of a camera shutter, not being able to turn fully with miso on his shoulder. "what the fuck are you doing ?"
"wondering when you guys got so chummy !" you giggle, getting closer knowing he can't do anything to shoo you away. katsuki grumbles but focuses back on his food to flip his waffles. "what happened ?"
"we talked it out, bastard isn't as bad as i thought, i guess."
you tuck your phone away to press a kiss to his cheek and say hi to miso. you don't know what he means by talked it out, but you're glad they ended up settling their..differences.
"fenrir said he doesn't like the names you picked out for him either." your boyfriend adds after a pause, he smirks when you freeze.
you're flabbergasted when you register his words, "he didn't tell you that, you liar ! and who the hell is fenrir ?!" katsuki shrugs at the shoulder the cat is perched on, and miso/mochi/ tofu/ fenrir ?? meows like you'd called him for attendance. he does seem to like it, katsuki smirks even wider.
"you named him fenrir ?!"
"he likes it." is all katsuki offers you, obviously proud. you shake your head and you can't help but laugh "you're unbelievable." you giggle, and katsuki rolls his eyes with a smirk. telling you to go brush your teeth because you're not getting anything he made with nasty breath. you smack his ass as revenge and run off. before he can get his hands on you, not that he could. you hear him complaining to fenrir about how annoying you are. you hear a meow and a chuckle.
your new cat and your dragon boyfriend are talking shit about you, but at least they're getting along.
THEHEHEHE THE RETURN !!!! iLOOVEED this i rlly hope yall enjoyed, should we keep fenrir as a pet throughout the series ? supposedly reader n katsu r gonna find a new place for him, but he's kinda growing on me ! lmk !!
