possessiveness: (so blessedly?)

[personal profile] possessiveness 2024-11-11 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
( she had no words to say to him about that, because truthfully even her own emotions and desires confused her. she wasn’t sure if she should be doing this, if she should be like this with him.

yet it felt right, almost as if she had been missing something. but she knew these things couldn’t last long, they couldn’t just stand here in an embrace forever. so she took a deep breath and enjoyed how soft he was, how his long hair draped over the side of her as if to shield her.

finally, she broke from the embrace to look up at him, eyes soft and moist from before. )


I don’t know a thing about you….and yet you came here. The least I can do is show you my appreciation.

Will…will you tell me more about yourself while you make tea? How long have you been here?

( as soon as he stepped away from her, akito moved towards the center of her apartment, sitting on the floor before a small coffee table. she place her elbows on the edge, the base of her chin resting on her palms. she watched him carefully, taking in his words and wondering just how things ended up like this.

she knew him in such an intimate manner, and yet knew so little of him. no one she had run into seemed to mention him, whereas they had mentioned others in passing. then he said something that resonated with her, or at the very least peaked her interest. )


A man of status? What were you exactly?

( the way he spoke and presented himself, it almost seemed as if he were of nobility.... )
possessiveness: (sleeping dormant)

( his words were strange and rather confusing to her, but she remained silent and listened without much comment. she tried her best to make sense of it all, but really it sounded like something out of a book.

that wasn’t to say she didn’t believe him- she had heard about others and their worlds, just as equally bizarre and strange. additionally, her own life truly did sound like something out of a fantasy as well. members of her family, born with a curse that transforms them into their respective zodiac sign at the embrace of a member of the opposite gender. she was the only one who didn’t transform.

to his question, because of the sweater she had on and her own desire to keep him around, she nodded. )


I have as much time as you’ll give me to hear whatever it is, you wish to share with me.
possessiveness: (there's nothing you can do)

we love yappy kings 👏

( to say akito was expecting this would be a lie. however, it was surprisingly a good distraction to the immense pain and torture this place had put her through, and what she had put herself through. she was terrified of duplicity, of the food, the air, the water-

all of it reminded her of what happened the first time she met ferdinand and of the stories others here had shared with her. so this, even if he was going on about things that went over her head, was better than being alone. her hunger for comfort and solace was far too great, it drowned out her anger, domineering nature, and general malice.

as he spoke, she remained silent and wondered how he adapted so well here. if he was fresh from war, of nobility, and yet survived here as a submissive of all things, why couldn't she? the answer, which she already knew, terrified her. so she opted to push herself into this conversation and her attention on ferdinand instead. if she focused on him, she would do what her punishment entailed, and she would save herself of her fears for now. )


Your world....sounds rather so primitive...wars? I don't mean that in a bad way...I guess we just come from very different times.
possessiveness: (so insignificant)

[personal profile] possessiveness 2024-11-11 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
( as sheltered and controlling as she was, even someone like her could see the pointlessness of such endeavors. she was well educated and well read, and she knew of the chaos and destructiveness of wars. she hated the thought of anything happening to her beloved zodiac members, or the ones that remained, because of war.

still, she isn’t sure what else to say or ask, the whole thing was quite shocking to hear really. but…

she decided to try and keep things light for now, after all, if ferdinand became tense or suspicious of akito, her sweater would begin to close in on her. )


I suppose that’s one thing we can agree upon….

Is that when you were pulled from your world? In the middle of war? Or was it over by then?

I see...

( it was certainly interesting to see and hear this man who had been of nobility, had fought in a was was here of all places comforting akito and serving her tea. it was a strange concept that brought in even more strange feelings. if ferdinand really looked at her at all, she would seem almost pensive and deep in thought.

really it forced her to admit there was a vast world outside of the bubble she had been in for years and it made her wonder-

could she just be someone different here? but then if someone from her world did end up showing up...)


I'm afraid I'm not as interesting....so please...you can tell me more about yourself.

( she didn't want to upset him and risk telling him about who she really was. after all, the last thing she saw was her own mother trying to kill her, a decades long feud coming to a head. )
possessiveness: (and who could sprout up)

[personal profile] possessiveness 2024-11-11 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
( akito just wasn't sure what to share or say. despite the pain she had inflicted on her precious zodiac members, her own life was full of it too. she couldn't really think of anything she could share that wouldn't be viewed as too drastic or would bring the mood down. the source of it all, her mother was just too painful to think about.

so she decided to just gloss over things, keep it simple. even if she had been told things by others here like 'if you go home, you won't remember this place', what if she never went home? then someone here would know how horrible she was and her life. )


I come from a place called Japan, it's a country on Earth? I'm the head of my family, a large assembly of clans under the Sohma last name. My father died when I was young...he seemed to really....love that woman-

My mother...I guess you could say I was raised to be a proper head of my family. Not very interesting, I'm afraid.

( she didn't want to discuss ren further than she had to, but ferdinand was asking her questions and she wasn't sure how to back out of this without resorting to angrily telling him to stop.

so it became clear how uncomfortable she was. she remained silent, eyes looking down at the empty tea cup as she began to fidget with the sweater she had on. perhaps if she changed things to prevent further questions-

she could always silence him with a kiss couldn't she? but for now she decided to divulge just a bit without saying the real reason for their dispute. )


She never wanted children, so my father and the house maids were the ones who raised me. We still lived together but due to how large the estate was...she lives in a completely different house on the same property.

( she paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. )

The tea...it should be ready, right?
possessiveness: (lost under the sewers?)

[personal profile] possessiveness 2024-11-18 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
( it seemed like ferdinand was far too imposing for akito to handle properly, and while she knew she could technically ask him to leave to avoid this uncomfortable situation, she was in a predicament.

either she did that and her sweater would punish her immediately, or she had to figure out a way to both satisfy his curiosity and keep her secrets guarded. it was tricky regardless because as much as she hated her mother and didn't care about speaking poorly of her, she also wasn't necessarily looking for pity because she knew-

if she told ferdinand the real reason her mother despised her, he would know her secret. the one that still gave her any sense of control here.

so akito sighed a bit, her face clearly expressing just how uncomfortable she was. she wasn't sure what to say, so she stood up from where she was seated and moved closer to ferdinand. once she was next to him, she leaned in closer to him and spoke. )


How can you love someone who never gave you any affection or any kind words?

( if he pushed the topic, at least now she was close enough to silence him through other means. )

You’re a clever man it seems Ferdinand.

( she didn’t care to be sympathized with-

the last person who tried it only drew her violent rage. yet there was something in what he said that did touch her, drew out a more sensitive side to her.

with a soft breath, she reached out to touch a strand of his hair, rising it up with her fingers to look at it. clearly she was trying to change the subject now. )


We met so fast…I never really got a chance to look at you clearly. Have you always worn your hair this long?
possessiveness: (I don't feel enough)

[personal profile] possessiveness 2024-11-24 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
( it seemed perhaps that her plan had succeeded for now, and that he had a weakness she could exploit. men were such amusing creatures like that, it was a thought she couldn't help but ruminate upon.

most of her negative thoughts about others revolved around women specifically, but she knew how to use her femineity and sexuality as a weapon to get what she wanted. unfortunately it seemed she had to play nice with this one-

even if in this moment she truly was just being needy for comfort and affection after everything that happened. )


It suits you, the color is quite beautiful as well...I'm envious really.

( was she flattering him up to distract him? yes, and if it worked she would continue on. in fact, she even brought up the lock of hair to her lips, placing a kiss upon it. )

[personal profile] possessiveness 2024-11-25 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
( if ferdinand was surprised at her gesture, she was just as surprised at his compliment. it came from a place of perceived kindness, a returned gift from her own compliment. it was strange for her to experience this-

typically those under her or even shigure weren't as open with compliments. for them it was all domination and saying things that would placate her anger.

she was so shocked by this, she simply released his hair and looked off towards the kitchen, opting to switch the subject yet again. )


The tea...surely it's ready by now?
