I try not to be... I suppose it's fine since you enjoy it though. Goodness knows why. If we aren't "cavorting" then I'm giving you a stern lecture or yelling at you at the top of my lungs.
[ being cute and clingy does little for the girlboss image he works hard to portray to the rest of the world. having someone who appreciates his company is nice though, riddle certainly can't deny it.
riddle wants to die for a myriad of reasons. all these compliments are downright intoxicating. it's no secret toji can have him eating out of the palm of his hand in no time with the right words, but try as riddle might to remind himself that's all they are, the right words and nothing more, it's still difficult not to take them to heart.
living in what was essentially imprisonment for most of his life has left him broken and naive. what innocent little creature wouldn't be taken with their first taste of such honeyed words? riddle almost feels stupid for being so affected by them. hearing that his body, his sweetness, his presence will be missed... has anyone ever said they would miss him period?
then again, knowing he is replaceable eases some of his burden. it doesn't necessarily feel good to hear, and deep down he wonders if whoever toji seduces into his clutches will enjoy his company as much as he does, if they'll hate the idea of leaving him alone as much as he does.
great. now he's upset. granted, it's his own fault, but still. ]
You'll be fine, you awful man! Don't use up all your flattery on me, save some for the next misbegotten tramp you manage to sink your fangs into! For someone who supposedly thinks so well of me, don't seem all that broken up about knowing I intend to run off on you at all!
That's fine, that's exactly how I want it to be! Do not take this as me griping, understand? It's merely an observation.
Yeah, but you're cute, and it's so easy to steer you into cavorting. Almost like you like me too much or something.
[ ah, but did he make him fussy again? it certainly wouldn't be the first time. he rolls his eyes just a little, easily able to imagine the pout on riddle's face, the whine entering his voice. how he gets when he's worked up and entering a mood. a tantrum.
luckily, toji usually knows just how to get him out of one, though that's easier when he can put a hand on him. ]
Well, you told me I'm just temporary, right? So I'll try not to get too attached. I didn't want you to feel bad when you traded me in for a better model, since I know that's your plan.
I'll just enjoy you to the fullest as long as I've got you. Not like I'm ever going to find better than how you feel in my arms.
[ the smell of dairy is likely thick in the air from all this buttering up he's doing. ]
[ once again, riddle wants to go back in time and beat his own ass. he knows what he said, but toji's self-deprecation is starting to make him feel a bit guilty.
no, there's no "a bit" about it. the longer the man's words sit, the worse it feels. he promised there wouldn't be any flying solo so long as he's around. not only that, but if toji is being sincere and not just saying all of this to manipulate him, then isn't turning his back on him for someone else in favor of a more proper relationship a cruel thing to do?
riddle wants desperately to be smart about all this, but when he's this desperate for nurturing and positive attention, it feels impossible. what's more, he can't stop overthinking every little thing, being suspicious of toji's every motive yet desperately hopeful for his sincerity. why can't this be simple? what good is all those years of toiling over books when he can't even be honest with himself and he's scared of his own desires? ]
It's true. You are only temporary.
Even if I never find anyone who is as fond of me as you are, it won't matter in the end. My mother expects me to return home after I graduate. Truthfully, I'm not even permitted to date or have a boyfriend. That was one of her rules for letting me go to school here by myself. I know disobeying her is wrong, and keeping this from you was also wrong, but I never imagined you would want to take care of me.
Maybe losing you is what I deserve for breaking her rules.
I suppose I'm just telling you this because I don't want you to get hurt on account of me. If you're going to take care of me like you say you will, I want to do my utmost to do the same, and that includes being honest. You must do everything you can to make sure you remain unattached. Understand?
[ what the hell, sure. let's keep trauma dumping on the crazy dilf with clear attachment issues. it can't be overstated-- toji really should have done his homework before sticking his dick in crazy. ]
[ is sticking your dick in crazy that bad, though, when you are also crazy yourself?
truthfully, toji can't even imagine what it's like to have so overbearing a parent. true, his own were... problematic, in a very deep and intense way, but they never would have cared what he did with another person. mostly because he was worthless, to them, to the family, and when he was getting attention, it was to be denigrated, abused, forced to squirm and scratch and claw for the right to take another breath.
no wonder he left them behind so quickly. he's never sure why other people don't, in the grand scheme of things. ]
Listen, I'm just the practice boyfriend, so you don't have to listen to me on anything. But it sounds like you might want to think about cutting your mom loose. Worked great for me.
Besides, you're not going to hurt me. I'm a big boy, in more ways than one. I don't think you could actually hurt me if you tried. So you just focus on being a cute little girl for me as long as you want to be, and don't worry about anything else. And I'll make sure you find out just what you want from your next boyfriend.
[ since he's sure it won't be him, anyway. not long term. he's not sure he'd even want that. he's always been better with temporary company. ]
[ the last time he told anyone anything about his life at home was so long ago-- things hadn't even reached the apex of how truly bad they were by that point. sure, he was battered and shouted down whenever he so much as dared to express even minor emotions deemed disagreeable, but at least his mother let him leave the house to go to private school for awhile. after he was caught sneaking out to play with his first and only friends, the only people who had any idea of what he was enduring...
riddle thinks about how much more painful the loneliness became after that. being confined and homeschooled by his mother, bars on his windows and front door locked, imprisoned like a princess in a book-- after knowing how sweet happiness and companionship could be, nothing was more crushing. nothing.
at least, that was the case. riddle wonders how he's going to live through returning home. ]
That isn't possible. I could never do such a thing to Mama. Things aren't always bad. There are happy memories here and there too.
Besides, I have nowhere to go and no one to turn to. My father is perfectly aware of what she does and how she treats me, yet never tried to take me with him wherever he is. I'm not permitted to speak to my other relatives, nor do I have any friends back home as those are forbidden as well.
You make it sound so simple... Please don't take this the wrong way, but I don't want to end up like you, Toji-san.
[ alone except for transient company, filling holes inside himself with vices. he can't imagine the man believes he has a chance to grasp happiness someday-- riddle, on the other hand, can't afford to lose hope. ]
[ does he have happiness? toji might say so, if he was ever asked. he's happy when he completes a mission, a particularly satisfying kill. happy when he wins a bet - as rarely as that ever happens. happy when he beds a new woman. he has his moments.
but is it a yawning emptiness thanks to the life he lost? the brief idea of one he had, that was snatched away again so cruelly by random fate? perhaps. he tries not to think about it. he just is. primal and predatory. because a shark in the deep water doesn't think about what else it could one day have, it just thinks about its next meal. easier that way. ]
If you say so.
Probably for the best. I'm not role model. Guess that's why I'm fucking a cute little thing like you, huh? But hey, I'm in no hurry to be rid of you, so you're safe with me until you have to scurry back home for good.
[ at least toji is smart enough (or can't be bothered) to be argumentative, but the dismissal also leaves riddle wondering if maybe he should consider it more. can he really go without ever seeing his mother again...? granted, that too is a normal part of growing up...
riddle decides not to think about it right now. it's too soon for him to decide such things-- for now, he would much rather continue basking in everything that makes being free so worth it. ]
I don't know how to thank you, Toji-san.
[ that being said... ]
You don't need to keep bringing up the fact we'll have to say goodbye so much, you know! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're eager to get rid of me after all!
[ he just doesn't like it for some reason? it makes riddle feel guilty, as if he's doing something wrong-- which he knows he sort of is, but is it really so wrong to want to enjoy the warm embrace of a big strong man without letting feelings making you act crazy in the process? ]
I think you thank me in plenty of ways. Mostly very physical.
[ because that's... largely what this relationship is, yes, if it can even be called a proper relationship. toji has no illusions about that, which is why he also has no illusions about riddle "trading up," as it were.
well, when it comes to emotional needs. he ain't gonna get dick like this anywhere else. ]
Aw, I'm in no hurry, trust me. I just know you're too special of a little prince to slum it forever. But don't worry. I'll take real good care of you as long as you let me.
And mess with you too, probably, just because it's fun.
It's hardly thanking you if I do it because I want it! If anything, it should be considered *you* thanking *me* for allowing you to enjoy my "company". No, I must thank you properly and eventually in full.
[ hmph! ]
Now that I'm free to live how I wish and according to my own rules, for now my goal is to experience as many new firsts as I can, and to learn everything there is about this world and the people in it. Whatever I decide 'forever' entails, that is up to me and me alone.
[ why can't he even thank someone without being aggressive and argumentative? jeez. ]
Feel free to continue messing with me if you want to compromise your life, but don't say I didn't warn you. I will have you know I'm a master of giving punches to the liver. I bet you won't find it fun when I surprise you with *that*!
But what could be a better "thank you" than that cute little mouth of yours? Still, if you insist, I guess you can do as you like.
[ he's a simple man. ]
Well, if you want to live an exciting life, you've come to the right place. I'll make sure you won't get bored. We'll turn you into a proper little hedonist yet.
If you can reach my liver with your tiny fists, go right ahead. I'm not worried.
Smart man. It's always best not to argue with me. You'll find that I'm much more liable to be agreeable and sweet to you when you do as I say and give me everything I want, you know...though it doesn't give you the right to tease me as much as you do!
[ he hates how exciting he finds the thought. sweets, fancy clothes, sex, thrilling new adventures-- everything his mother told him only people who were destined for failure enjoyed. with toji, not to mention his new friends by his side, riddle wonders if perhaps he can find his a real and irresistible reason to leave his old life behind forever. if he can make his wishes come true, then... ]
I'll hold you to that, Toji-san. I've had enough boredom and loneliness to last me a lifetime.
You ought to stand still and let me have a free shot.
Oh, yes, just give you everything you desire without a fuss. I'm sure that won't get out of hand ever. You're such a reasonable and temperate little princess.
[ ah, the sarcasm bleeds through his words. even if he does like spoiling riddle. it's a vicious cycle.
then again, it usually ends with toji spanking him or fucking him into the mattress regardless, so can he really complain? no, and he won't. ]
Hey, if I'm anything, it's never boring.
Hmm. I'll consider it. Though it's not like I could really hit you back. You might explode into dust if I actually put any muscle behind it.
I am, you know! And anyway, don't act as if you don't enjoy it! Remember last time, when I kept you in bed with me the entire weekend? You certainly didn't complain then!
[ neverminding the fact riddle pushes and provokes specifically to get that exact reaction-- what can he say? few things feel more exquisite than being put in his place, especially after he's been spoiled and doted on for however long he was able to get away with it. ]
I'll certainly give you that one, though it isn't always a good thing, you right proper terror.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HIT ME BACK! I bet you bench press things heavier than I am! Indeed, the last thing either of us want is me turned into fine red mist!
I'll let you do something else in exchange. Something enjoyable. How does that sound?
[ as much as it drives riddle up the wall at times, there's no way he can deny that having this menace so sprung for him doesn't feel good, both mood-wise as well as carnally. ]
Is that really true? How much can you lift?
[ what can he say? he's curious! what good is shagging a gym rat dilf if you can't ogle his muscles whenever you desire?
score. personally, riddle thinks toji deserves a good punch or two from him for free, but for the sake of fairness, he puts his brain to work in order to come up with something at least somewhat equitable. thankfully riddle is honest and straightforward, so toji doesn't need to worry about any potential bamboozlement. in fact, after a bit of (red-cheeked and hesitant) searching, the little primrose eventually responds. ]
Well, seeing as how I'm your darling kitten and all that, perhaps I'll do you the honor of having me in a leash and collar. I've seen some that are quite eye-catching, so as long as it looks good on me, I'll wear one for you and allow you to have free use of me. Well? What do you think?
Hmm, you know? I've never really pushed myself to the limit. They don't usually make weights that heavy.
[ is he a gym rat? yes. is he also gifted with ridiculous divine superstrength? also yes.
aha, and look at riddle getting so creative. toji is impressed. ]
You know, I like the way you're thinking. You'd look so cute on the end of a leash, all paws and sweet licks. Maybe throw on some of that cute kitten lingerie, too, or some little ears, while I tell you what a good girl you are for me.
[ he'll just refrain from pointing out that riddle might already be as good as free use when he's around. that would just set him off again. ]
Really now?! That's amazing! You simply *must* find out one day, and be sure you tell me when you do! The most I can lift is a 20lb box of cat litter from the supermarket, and even that is a struggle... You truly are amazing sometimes, Toji-san.
[ riddle is so unathletic it's actually sad-- having to skip gym class so often because he either can't change in the locker room without half the school seeing his lower half covered in bruises and love bites, or he's trapped in the infirmary with a heating pad on his lower back because definitely isn't helping him improve any.
at least he has brains to fall back on; seeing his idea so well received has riddle preening and sparkling. ]
Wouldn't I just? And you're more than used to me crawling all over you, demanding your attention. Would you like to pick something you want to see me wear, or shall I surprise you? Also, it's bold of you to assume I would be so well-behaved. Kittens are hardly known for staying out of trouble, you know. Could you handle being on the receiving end of my claws?
If I find any cars people don't mind me lifting, I'll be sure to let you know. It's okay, I can do all the heavy stuff for you. You just focus on looking pretty.
[ it's alright. riddle doesn't need to be athletic, and if toji knew that he was having such an effect on him that he has to skip gym class all the time... yeah, that would probably just encourage him.
he's a monster, as established. ]
Oh, I don't think your claws would be much trouble. Kittens are also easy to pick up by the scruff when they start to misbehave. Besides, I'm sure that you'd just be misbehaving because you're in heat.
Just set it down gently and you should be fine, right? I don't have my license and know next to nothing about cars, but surely nothing will happen if you're careful with it.
I have other talents outside of just being pretty, you know! I'm surprisingly handy! ...Well, I'm *knowledgeable* about handy things! I even put a coffee table together all by myself once.
[ in fairness to him, riddle probably could be handier if he was, you know, tall enough to reach high shelves. he'll need toji for that too. what he will not need toji for is help with his grades, however. riddle is going to get his first C, in gym class of all things, because of this wretched man...! ]
You're a fool if you think scruffing me will be enough to save you. Very well. We'll see just how good of an owner you'll be. Since it's going to be *your fault* I'm ovulating to begin with, you had better be prepared to take responsibility!
That I shall. But remember, it's only if you let me have a go at you! One punch!
Oh, I'm sure you have lots of talents. You're probably smarter than me, too.
[ does toji believe that? not necessarily. he is, if nothing else, much more experienced, and exceptionally savvy as a tactician when he puts his mind to it. but he likes to make sure people don't know that as much as possible. it's hard to be underestimated when you look like he does, but he finds his ways.
and it'll make riddle happy to hear it, so. two birds, stones, etc. ]
I think you know I'm more than capable of handling you when you get feisty. And don't worry, I'll take plenty of care of you, no matter how worked up you get, okay kitten?
Don't you have any pride?! Don't just say that sort of thing about yourself! It's scientifically proven that negative self-talk has an effect on your self-esteem! Not only that, but it comes across as insincere! If you're going to flatter me, do it properly and in a way that doesn't end up making me angry!
[ in all honesty, riddle doubts the validity of toji's so-called claim anyway. certainly, he's booksmart, but his upbringing has left him twisted and sheltered, naive to the ways of the world. he can't even process his own emotions without feeling stupid and confused sometimes. if nothing else, toji is far more experienced in just about every way that matters when it comes to navigating the world.
riddle is determined to get there someday though-- at least, he wants to experience the good and the happiness within it. he's only been free of his mother for a short while, but riddle can already see that books don't do the outside world justice. ]
I will admit, you know a thing or two, even though your methods tend to be underhanded.
[ not bending to his every whim is totally underhanded, alright? ]
I also can't deny that you're very good at taking care of me. This is a treat for you, so be sure you enjoy it to the fullest when the time comes, alright? I'll begin shopping when I'm not in public...
[ huzzah! ]
It's a deal. I'll most definitely rattle your liver and leave you reeling, you'll see!
Oh, well, I'll have to remember that. The last thing I want to do is make my little girl angry. Besides, don't worry. Look at me. I'm gorgeous. I have plenty of self esteem.
[ this is, perhaps, a total lie. it's complicated. toji is an interesting blend of narcissism and self loathing, but he won't get into it now. or ever. men will do anything but go to therapy. ]
My methods are effective, is what they are. That's all that matters.
And don't worry. I always enjoy myself with you. And a cute little kitten that will do anything I ask, take me in every hole and moan so pretty? Oh, I'm getting hot just thinking about it.

Princess, your bodyweight would barely be a warm up for me. So I guess you're right about that.
Hmmm. Something enjoyable, huh? Tempting. Have anything special in mind?
[ he's so easy to lead around by the nose sometimes. ]
no subject
[ as much as it drives riddle up the wall at times, there's no way he can deny that having this menace so sprung for him doesn't feel good, both mood-wise as well as carnally. ]
Is that really true? How much can you lift?
[ what can he say? he's curious! what good is shagging a gym rat dilf if you can't ogle his muscles whenever you desire?
score. personally, riddle thinks toji deserves a good punch or two from him for free, but for the sake of fairness, he puts his brain to work in order to come up with something at least somewhat equitable. thankfully riddle is honest and straightforward, so toji doesn't need to worry about any potential bamboozlement. in fact, after a bit of (red-cheeked and hesitant) searching, the little primrose eventually responds. ]
Well, seeing as how I'm your darling kitten and all that, perhaps I'll do you the honor of having me in a leash and collar. I've seen some that are quite eye-catching, so as long as it looks good on me, I'll wear one for you and allow you to have free use of me. Well? What do you think?
no subject
[ is he a gym rat? yes. is he also gifted with ridiculous divine superstrength? also yes.
aha, and look at riddle getting so creative. toji is impressed. ]
You know, I like the way you're thinking. You'd look so cute on the end of a leash, all paws and sweet licks. Maybe throw on some of that cute kitten lingerie, too, or some little ears, while I tell you what a good girl you are for me.
[ he'll just refrain from pointing out that riddle might already be as good as free use when he's around. that would just set him off again. ]

[ riddle is so unathletic it's actually sad-- having to skip gym class so often because he either can't change in the locker room without half the school seeing his lower half covered in bruises and love bites, or he's trapped in the infirmary with a heating pad on his lower back because definitely isn't helping him improve any.
at least he has brains to fall back on; seeing his idea so well received has riddle preening and sparkling. ]
Wouldn't I just? And you're more than used to me crawling all over you, demanding your attention. Would you like to pick something you want to see me wear, or shall I surprise you? Also, it's bold of you to assume I would be so well-behaved. Kittens are hardly known for staying out of trouble, you know. Could you handle being on the receiving end of my claws?
no subject
[ it's alright. riddle doesn't need to be athletic, and if toji knew that he was having such an effect on him that he has to skip gym class all the time... yeah, that would probably just encourage him.
he's a monster, as established. ]
Oh, I don't think your claws would be much trouble. Kittens are also easy to pick up by the scruff when they start to misbehave. Besides, I'm sure that you'd just be misbehaving because you're in heat.
Surprise me. You always know what I like.

I have other talents outside of just being pretty, you know! I'm surprisingly handy! ...Well, I'm *knowledgeable* about handy things! I even put a coffee table together all by myself once.
[ in fairness to him, riddle probably could be handier if he was, you know, tall enough to reach high shelves. he'll need toji for that too. what he will not need toji for is help with his grades, however. riddle is going to get his first C, in gym class of all things, because of this wretched man...! ]
You're a fool if you think scruffing me will be enough to save you. Very well. We'll see just how good of an owner you'll be. Since it's going to be *your fault* I'm ovulating to begin with, you had better be prepared to take responsibility!
That I shall. But remember, it's only if you let me have a go at you! One punch!
[ lucky toji, basically guaranteed a free meal. ]
no subject
Oh, I'm sure you have lots of talents. You're probably smarter than me, too.
[ does toji believe that? not necessarily. he is, if nothing else, much more experienced, and exceptionally savvy as a tactician when he puts his mind to it. but he likes to make sure people don't know that as much as possible. it's hard to be underestimated when you look like he does, but he finds his ways.
and it'll make riddle happy to hear it, so. two birds, stones, etc. ]
I think you know I'm more than capable of handling you when you get feisty. And don't worry, I'll take plenty of care of you, no matter how worked up you get, okay kitten?
Fine. One punch. Make it count.
no subject
[ in all honesty, riddle doubts the validity of toji's so-called claim anyway. certainly, he's booksmart, but his upbringing has left him twisted and sheltered, naive to the ways of the world. he can't even process his own emotions without feeling stupid and confused sometimes. if nothing else, toji is far more experienced in just about every way that matters when it comes to navigating the world.
riddle is determined to get there someday though-- at least, he wants to experience the good and the happiness within it. he's only been free of his mother for a short while, but riddle can already see that books don't do the outside world justice. ]
I will admit, you know a thing or two, even though your methods tend to be underhanded.
[ not bending to his every whim is totally underhanded, alright? ]
I also can't deny that you're very good at taking care of me. This is a treat for you, so be sure you enjoy it to the fullest when the time comes, alright? I'll begin shopping when I'm not in public...
[ huzzah! ]
It's a deal. I'll most definitely rattle your liver and leave you reeling, you'll see!
no subject
[ this is, perhaps, a total lie. it's complicated. toji is an interesting blend of narcissism and self loathing, but he won't get into it now. or ever. men will do anything but go to therapy. ]
My methods are effective, is what they are. That's all that matters.
And don't worry. I always enjoy myself with you. And a cute little kitten that will do anything I ask, take me in every hole and moan so pretty? Oh, I'm getting hot just thinking about it.
Make it count. I know I will.
