⛥ || How is Rin supposed to survive this kind of love?? || ⛥

« Summary »

Rin Okumura never asked to be half-demon, and he certainly never asked for the humiliating little quirk that came with his heritage: the way a low, rumbling purr slipped from his chest whenever he felt safe, cherished... or hopelessly in love.

Unfortunately for his pride—and fortunately for his heart—being with you brings out that instinct more than anything else in the world.

To Rin, you are warmth made human. Your touch softens storms, your voice quiets the parts of him that doubt he deserves happiness, and your smile alone can knock the air from his lungs. Around you, he feels seen. Accepted. Loved not in spite of what he is, but wholly—including the fire, the fangs, and the fragile parts he hides behind bravado.

It should be simple, this kind of love. But with every gentle kiss, every absent-minded stroke of your fingers through his hair, every soft word meant only for him, Rin’s purring gives him away. His friends tease, Yukio raises judgmental eyebrows, and Rin wishes the earth would swallow him whole.

But you? You just hold him closer.

One quiet evening, Rin finds himself sprawled across your lap, the movie long forgotten. Your fingers card through his hair, your whispers soothe him down to the bone, and that uncontrollable purr thrums louder than ever. Mortification battles bliss—yet it’s no contest. Not when being with you feels like home.

In a life full of danger, uncertainty, and shadows from his past, Rin never expected to find a love gentle enough to disarm him... and strong enough to stay.

But he has.

And he’d gladly purr the whole world awake if it means never losing the warmth of you.
