Horny Dangerpunk (KDA fanfic)

Racing Through Your Heart / I'll Gladly Bleed for You

Night had fallen over Busan like a liquid curtain, drenching the surroundings in comfy dark, the lights of late-night skyscrapers blinking like stars. Akali watched them reflect on the ocean while Evelynn came from the kitchen. She placed a cup of steaming tea down in front of Akali, nursing her own cup in clawed hands. Tea was quickly becoming something they did often, a habit they shared with one another.

"Baihao Yinzhen," Evelynn said, taking a sip from her own cup. One of the most expensive Chinese teas, on account of the very specific requirements that must be met before the bud is picked."

Akali smelled the liquid dubiously, screwing up her face. Maybe it's less bitter than it smells. It was not, but she tried to swallow it anyway, not wanting to insult Evelynn. Then she realized that Evelynn was watching her with the slightest hint of a smile, and Akali knew she was being fucked with. She put the tea down.

"How do you drink this stuff like this? It's so bitter," she complained. "Do you have any sugar?"

"Usually it's rude to request to change something that was tailor-made for you," Evelynn challenged, taking a sip of her own. "Besides, bitterness is inevitable in life. You should learn to savor it." Nevertheless, she pushed over a small jar.

"Sweetness is also a flavor of life," Akali countered, ignoring the spoon in the jar in favor of lifting the vessel and tapping the desired amount of sugar out. She set it back down on the marble countertop with an audible clack. "And it's not my fault you steeped it too hard. Silver Needle white shouldn't be steeped with boiling water."

Evelynn stared at her with an open mouth, the expression strange and new on her face. "You knew?"

"I grew up here, which is close to China," Akali pointed out with a teasing grin. "And what, were you too busy staring at me that you forgot to check the temperature of the water?"

"You're on thin ice, Akali darling," Evelynn hummed. "Unlike most, my bite is worse than my bark."

The comment happened to be a perfect excuse for Akali to bring up what had been bothering her. "You were holding back last night."

Evelynn shifted, crossing one leg over the other. "Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not pulling out the ropes and knives on our first night together, not before we have a long talk about what our needs are."

"Lets have that talk then, so you don't have to hold back next time. I want you to enjoy it too."

Evelynn shifted her legs, one over the other, not making eye contact. Though the expression was foreign on her face, she looked almost nervous, at a loss for words. Akali wanted to prod, to needle her, make her lose composure like this more often. "What makes you think I didn't enjoy myself?" she eventually got out.

Akali sipped her tea, nodding in appreciation of the sweetness the sugar brought. "I know you had fun. You wouldn't have let me fall asleep if you hadn't gotten what you wanted."

"You make me sound so cold."

"You wish!" Akali chuckled. "Like damn, the persona is hot as hell, but I can see through it. You're nothing if not hot-blooded." She set her tea down, cracked her knuckles, and then straddled Evelynn, pinning her wrists hard into the soft leather of the couch. Evelynn's lashers came up and hovered nearby as if unsure of what kind of threat Akali posed. Akali had the pleasure of watching Evelynn's eyes widen as she lowered her head to her ear, whispering. "You don't have what it takes to break me," she taunted, finishing by biting her ear, hard. Akali leaned back and poked a thumb into her chest. "I'm the best. I may just be human, but I'm not quite as fragile as most. I can handle you."
