《Flashback {Toruka}》Flashback 12

People are types; there are the strong and the weak of them. However, situations vary so even the strong are weak sometimes and vise versa. And that day was one of the days Taka felt vulnerable and helpless.
The vocalist opened his eyes and gazed around his massive bed. His white knuckles grazed the sheets beside him,they were cold. Where was Toru? He glanced around the room,no one. "Toru?" His voice cracked,but nobody answered. Anxiousness found its way through his skin attacking his fragile heart. Emptiness slowly climbed onto his feelings, sending tremors down his limbs.
Taka's feet slowly landed on the cold floor,gradually marching to the door while he clutched at the loose pyjama shirt he grabbed from Toru's closet the night before. The little man's eyes started to water as he shook his head attempting to throw out the horrible thoughts creeping to his core. Toru wouldn't leave him alone right? But he really was flawed and selfish,is it possible that Toru was tired of him?
Taka was busy trying to cut off the line of his thoughts when the door creaked open missing his face by millimetres. A tall blonde figure appeared causing the tears to finally stream down Taka's cheeks. "Having bad thoughts again?" Toru softly asked as he stroked his lover's back. Taka nuzzled his face deeper in Toru's solid chest trying to convey his broken feelings to the other man. He himself didn't know why he felt that way,yet he felt so miserable.
"I love you" the blondie whispered kissing Taka's head. "I love you" he repeated in a slow pace,his words a sweet lullaby to calm his agitated boyfriend. Eventually, Taka's fit passed like a temporary storm. Nevertheless, he didn't want to let go of Toru; he squeezed his arms tighter around Toru's waist hoping for the latter to get the signal. "Taka,baby,I am not going anywhere,not now,not ever. I was just downstairs preparing some breakfast for you. I promise I'll never leave" the guitarist tried to assure his soulmate while cupping his large palms around the other's wet cheeks. "C'mon let's go okay?" Toru whispered kissing Taka's forehead,shooting him a radiant smile.

Down in the living room, Toru motioned Taka onto the couch stating that he'll make an exception and bring him the food there. Though Taka intended to pull himself together and stop pressuring his lover, he started whining some time after Toru disappeared; it was too cold for the little clothing he was wearing. With a groan, he was once again on the frosty floor,yet, Toru ordering him to sit back again stopped him from mounting the stares.
Some minutes passed and Toru appeared in front of Taka again. Holding the silky blanket with the Gachapin print,in other words,Taka's favourite. Toru placed the food on the table and slumped on the couch cross-legged, pulling Taka into the gap. The Gachapin blanket was wrapped tightly around Taka who leaned into Toru's hug. "I'm going to spoil you rotten today. Here." the younger man uttered bringing a spoon of Taka's favourite soup to his plump lips. The vocalist savoured every drop of what Toru was feeding him, noting that Toru did a pretty great effort seeing that he rarely steps into the cooking world.
Although the food was done, neither of the two wanted to budge, they just sat there snuggled together into the warmth of their love. "Taka?" "Hm?" Toru felt relieved knowing his other half didn't fall asleep and continued "let's go buy matching earings" At the sound of that, Taka sprang from his relaxed position, joy clearly carving its route into his facial muscles. Considering that as a reply, Toru hoisted the shorter man into his arms guiding him to their shared room.
Some time later, the young couple stood in front of the earrings' stand at a jewellery store. While Toru was trying to satisfy his difficult taste, Taka strayed away observing the place intently. The vocalist's eyes landed on a particular table, the one stuffed with small boxes having shiny rings popping at the world.

The guitarist glanced at his lover and spotted the sadness squirming in his eyes. He steadily strolled towards him, wrapping his muscled arms around Taka's slender waist. "I'll find a way to buy an engagement ring for you. I promise." Toru mumbled as he rested his chin on Taka's head. "I'll wait,as long as it means that I'll be yours" Taka said hugging the arms around him. Confusion infused itself into Toru's features, directly followed by a devious smirk "what do you mean huh? You're already mine. I'm pretty conservative towards what belongs to me" The guitarist murmured kissing Taka's neck, earning an adorable giggle from the latter.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
