Okay! Could I request Zagreus, Megaera and Thanatos (separate) with a gn romantic shade reader who loves watching them fight and is like their cheerleader? Like, for example, they'll watch Zagreus while he's attempting to escape, watch Megaera fight Zagreus off, and watch Thanatos clear rooms with Zagreus?
They kind of just sit at the sidelines / hide behind something and occasionally throw a thumbs up and peek their head out like :D
With A Cheerleader Reader, Megaera, Thanatos, Zagreus
(Here you go, hope you like it!)
🖤Megaera🖤
Meg hates it. It was bad enough that you know Zag is routinely kicking her ass, do you have to see it too?
Honestly, Meg likes to keep you at arm's length from her work. She doesn't want to push you away with the reality of what she does. She doesn't want you to know about some of the stuff she does during work hours.
Would much prefer if you just waited in the House and didn't bring any of this up. Actually, she'd prefer it if you didn't know at all but that ship has sailed.
Eventually you come to a compromise. You are allowed to soothe her ego after the fact and watch her spar with her sisters, but you are without a doubt NOT allowed to watch her get her ass kicked by Zagreus of all people.
💀Thanatos💀
Probably mentally compares you to his brother. Won't say it out loud but whenever you shout encouragements from the sidelines, he can't help but think of Hypnos.
Can't help but be embarrassed whenever Zagreus beats him. Death is literally his thing, how can he lose at a death contest?? Tends to get a little sore and closed-off if he loses in front of you, but just compliment him a bit and he'll forget all about his sullen mood pretty quickly.
Secretly adores it. Nobody ever wants to see death so Than preemptively enters interactions from a distant and closed-off space. Can't lose anything if you don't risk anything, right? He sometimes worries that you don't want him around, but your cheering soothes his anxieties.
Shyly admitted that he liked it once and adamantly refused to talk to you for like a week after. Man is allergic to vulnerability.
🔥Zagreus🔥
Loves it! It can feel lonely out there, just him against legions of the undead, and he appreciates your presence. Appreciates it whenever you call out warnings to him or compliment him on an impressive dodge.
Probably ends up dying a bit more than usual when you're around because he can't help but show off for you. You can tell him as many times as you want that you'd be impressed no matter what he did, but it doesn't matter. The only way Zag isn't putting on a little show for you is if he gets so into it that he forgets you're there.
There was one time in Elysium when he decided to turn around and blow you a kiss mid-battle because he thought he had a spare moment. He did not and Theseus straight up impaled him. Everyone involved refuses to let him live this down.
Makes sure that you know just how much your presence helps him. Your cheers spur him on and help him to keep going even when everything looks bleak. If you believe he can do it, then he'll give it one more try. He dedicates this next run to you! (Please don't make fun if him if he immediately dies.)
i always say i love you to thanatos after he leaves.....i always hope he comes back cause i know he keeps an eye on zag (and than is so funny and cute and prickly so he would be silly about it :))
