Hours, days, weeks Atsu has been watching you from afar. He was absolutely captivated from the way you hunted, to the way you slept and especially the way you had wove your web… You were all he’s ever wanted…

but oh man did you scare the crap out him…

It wasn’t uncommon for female spiders to eat their mates… but you were faster than anything he’s ever seen before… He recalled the memory anytime he had thought about approaching you.. that one night he had been eyeing your den from afar, a male approached and before he could even attempt to hook your fangs, he was dead…

but the time was coming for Atsu and he knew.. he’d felt the sharp pain of his tibial hooks growing as he reached maturity and couldn’t help but be excited by them… He was finally a man…. a man that didn’t want to get eaten…

You were gorgeous… from the way your hair fell on your face when you ate to when you slept…. Atsu often caught himself stealing parts of your web and putting then in his own… and in return, he’d always leave a small snack wrapped in his own silk at your doorstep after hunting… especially this morning… after all, he didn’t want you hungry the day he was going to try to mate with you…

He’d never mated with someone before and as far as he knew, you hadn’t either…. because you ate everyone who approached you….. but he was different… at least that’s what he told himself, he didn’t want a fling then to run… He wanted to stay… with you…

He was gonna be the only person you ever mated with… He’d make a mating plug if he had to.

Yet as determined as he was… He approached your burrow as the sun set down that night rather timidly. Standing right at the webbed entrance where the only thing he could smell were your pheromones… His black and green peacock tail shook with excitement behind him, ready to flare up any moment… And with a sheepish smile and anxious gaze, his fluffy black and gold pedipalp legs tapped softly sending vibrations through your web, a soft gentle mating knock at your doorstep.
