Summary
Jean continues to wait until Clare’s eyes flicker up, over her shadowed, bare torso beneath the cloak and up to her face. All Clare sees in Jean’s expression is curiosity. That, and the inexplicable trust in her silver eyes that’s lingered there ever since Clare wrapped her arms around Jean’s neck and refused to let her die. Clare told her that her life debt has been repaid, but if Jean insists on following her and looking at her like that, so openly, so intensely, then maybe she should … “How is your body?”
The only indication that Clare has surprised her is the way the edges of Jean’s eyes widen for a brief moment and then soften ever so slightly. Clare doubts she would have noticed when they first escaped Riful, but in the few days that passed since she has found herself watching Jean just as closely as Jean watches her.
“Completely fine, thanks to you,” Jean says, and Clare knows she means it.

Summary
They stare at each other until Zenkichi tries to break the stalemate.
“K -” Kurusu. Nope. He was just scolded for that. Kurusu raises an eyebrow expectantly when Zenkichi cuts himself off. He sighs and tries again.
“J - …” Joker. Technically, that’s the correct answer - and the leader of the Phantom Thieves watches him with narrowed eyes when Zenkichi stops a second time.
Technically, that’s correct.
But Zenkichi knows that’s not right. Not now. Not with what he wants to say.
“... Kid,” Zenkichi says instead, in a tone that makes Kurusu startle - and behind the black and white mask, his eyes go wide and he looks less like the seasoned thief he’s dressed as and more like the teenager he is.

Summary
Phainon is unusually quiet as they stand in front of the vegetable stall in Marmoreal Market, studying the colorful array of vegetables in front of them as if he’s deep in thought.
Mydei had been about to turn and ask Phainon’s opinion on dinner, but he lets the question dissolve in his mouth. Instead, he watches Phainon’s bright blue eyes narrow ever so slightly as he stares down at the brown lentils and carrots and tomatoes, and when his gaze drifts over the onions and celery and heads of garlic and back to the lentils, it doesn’t seem like he’s looking at them at all. It’s as if he’s looking at something far away, something just out of reach; something that makes his expression turn wistful and melancholy.

Summary
“Did you calculate properly?” Mydei asks, standing gracefully and rounding the table to sit on the sofa next to Phainon. Even the subtle dip of the cushions beneath him is enough to make Phainon’s breath hitch. When he speaks, Mydei’s voice is gentle and unhurried. “Or are you just taking my word for it?”
Phainon laughs - Mydei fudging the numbers for a win is the last thing he would suspect, right now at least - and then cuts himself off with a groan at the movement. He has to hold himself still for another long moment, breath coming heavy and heart racing from the flash of urgency thrumming through him.
When it fades back to something manageable, Phainon blinks away the blur of unshed tears and looks back at Mydei. He is watching Phainon with that same intensity - golden gaze burning as he takes in Phainon’s state, reads him like an open book, and asks for more of him because he knows Phainon can give it to him. Something hungry and knowing and affectionate all at once.

Summary
Phainon waits patiently, despite his instincts screaming at him to thrust in again, to claim the alpha beneath him, to prove who’s the stronger between them. He won’t take what he isn’t offered, even if he wants so, so badly. He always wants Mydei, in whatever capacity Mydei will allow him.
“Make me submit, whatever it takes,” Mydei says, finally. He turns his head so that his face is buried in the pillow and Phainon can’t see his face, but he can see the way his ears and neck are flushed as he speaks, words echoing Phainon's desire in plain, earnest affection: “All I want is you.”

Summary
He sees it in Kurusu’s posture now, tense like a piano wire.
Calm and collected. Upset but not angry.
For all his posturing, Kurusu’s never been anything but just a kid, covered in mud and knowing there’s a difference between ethically and technically right and having a preference on which one to adhere to.
Zenkichi sighs.
“Kid, what would your friends have thought if they woke up and they realised you were missing?”

Summary
"Wait," Stelle is unable to stop herself from calling out. "I know what this is, actually."
"Oh, really?" Rather than be disappointed that his discovery is not unique, Phainon doesn't look deterred in the slightest.
Gravely, she lifts her gaze to the bright pools of blue in front of her.
"Phainon, that is a sex toy."
It's a tale as old as time: one yearning guy with the weight of the world on his shoulders unwittingly comes into possession of an enchanted sex toy which is connected to the object of said yearning, and repressed horny desires are unleashed.
Hm, it's not a classic story? Okay, Phainon will explain.

Summary
There was an intimacy between them now which arose from being two people who lived together and had the same unfamiliar set of instincts. It was embarrassing that apparently the natural thing to do in the morning, according to Eragon’s half-asleep mind, was to press his face against Murtagh’s neck and nuzzle him there. But Murtagh had taken to doing the same thing back, and it made Eragon’s mind light up with a sense of closeness that he had dearly missed and which he felt robbed of developing naturally, after an entire lifetime spent apart.
The territoriality, though, was becoming a bigger problem.

Summary
There was no comfort to be found in this fear, except perhaps the knowledge he could still feel it. It was a cold fear, freezing him in place as he attempted to fight his rogue hand, only to be overpowered for it to wrap around his neck and squeeze tightly. He wheezed around it, struggling to pull it off as he tried to force his other hand to move only for it to be wrested by his side, pinned behind his back.
It feels like an eternity he’s trapped powerlessly within his own body. His hand around his throat constricts more until his struggling calms, his eyes rolling into the back of his head. Only then does the hand release him. Phainon inhales on a wheeze, coughing and gasping for breath, even though there is none.
Irontomb takes control of Phainon's body. Phainon refuses to go down without a fight.
