He is not immune! Barok will slowly start to show more of his little darling side. 🥺

I'm so glad you enjoyed the food!😖 I hadn't thought of it that way as a study of all the characters, but you're right. I want to improve with writing them more and with pacing, so I'm happy for the prompt! The last descriptions were my favorite part to write. 🥺 I hope I made the moment feel special.

Thank you so much for reading 💕I'm happy that the description of the "portrait" of Barok came through!! I really wanted to try and write it as if Ryu was keenly observing a work of art! It happens to only last a short time and only for his eyes.

Thank you for enjoying the food! I didn't realize how sweet it turned out, Lol. Ryu is so surprised to see Barok's smile, he couldn't look away! It lingers on his mind...

Thank you for enjoying! I wanted to share with everyone the way Ryu saw BvZ this time. 💕 It was especially interesting to try and get their dynamic right after the trial and I hope I did it justice! I enjoy that Barok has learned Ryu is someone he can trust and be vulnerable with. 🥰
