🍓A/N: Make sure to head over to the main storyline to checkout the other LLs! Decided to separate them for it to be more interactive (?) Also so I can write daily lololol
[XAVIER] LADS: Haunted House! 🎃
Thankfully, Xavier just happened to be nearby and the offer of visiting a new attraction at the amusement park near the peer happened to intrigue the silver-haired hunter as well. Hence, with all the courage you could mustered, you both entered the haunted house.
"Xavier, I swear. Don't let go of my hand". You demanded, keeping your eyes shut as you both walked forward. Too scared to open your eyes, you firmly set your attention towards the feeling of Xavier's warm hand against your now-cold hand. He could only let out a chuckle and reassuringly rubbed his thumb over the surface of your hand as a sign that he had yours held in his hand tightly and securely.
"I promise," He replied after a short moment of silence. "But, you know," he continued. "There's a rumor that if you knock on the wood of this old home, three times, you could hear the whispers and would summon the lady of the manor".
You felt the hair on your skin prickle and your body's temparature reach a new-record low the moment the words left Xavier's mouth. Hoping to find a way to calm yourself, you pinched his hand with your vacant left hand, "Don't even try to scare me. I'll have you know I can leave you at any time I want".
"Oh really?" Without a second thought, Xavier let go of your hand and sped off towards what you thought was the exit route.
No thought in mind had registered in your head the moment he let go of your hand. Instead, you immediately let out a scream as you ran after him, forcing your eyes to open wide as you tracked down your so-called partner-in-crime.
Pumped by adrenaline, you manage to catch up to him. But, with Xavier abruptly stopping and not estimating the amount of speed you took off with caused both of you to fall with a loud thud against the hard wood floor.
"See? You still caught up." He said, with a chuckle, flashing his oh-so charming smile. "Come on, I feel like we're close the exit". Slowling separating both your boddies, he stands up and offers you both of his hands before he carefully pulls you up to stand as you now both walk hand-in-hand towards the same path leading to the exit.
But of course, being in a haunted house, things never go smoothly. Feeling a sudden chill to your spine, you slowly opened your eyelid to take a quick peek behind you but only to discover a man trailing right behind you, coated in what looked like blood from head-to-toe and held a giant axe in hand.
You let out another scream as you instincly jumped onto Xavier, who by a mircale caught you in his arms in bridal style. Clinging tightly onto him, you made your way higher onto his body as you gripped his broad shoulders and lifted yourself as high as you could while putting one hand over your eyes and his. "Right there! Right there!"
"Where? Where?" Xavier yelled out, immediately emitting a glow with the use of his evol. "I can't see!"
"Neither can I! Run for it Xavier!" You screamed, clinging onto Xavier as if your whole life depended on it, which it did. Without his line of sight available, Xavier chose to run in random directions in hopes of reaching the exit.
However, the axe man was tight on your trail, swinging his axe back and forth with much force that you could actually feel each force that came from the swing. And just by luck, Xavier tripped.
But, before you could land a hit on the floor, Xavier made sure to protect you first before you could reach any impact onto the wood.
"Oh my God! Xavier, are you okay?" You hurriedly ask, quickly scanning over his features to see for any injuries. With Xavier wincing from the impact of the fall, he reassured you by giving a small smile and patting your head. "Might bruise tomorrow, how about you? Nothing?" As he too made his own inspection upon you, making sure you too were safe.
Unknowingly, while both of you were preoccupied by each other's presence, the axe man had already creeped close enough to reach your shoulder. By impulse and instinct, you swiftly turned around and screamed as you punched him straight, causing him to fall back with a loud thud on the floor.
You gasped, "Oh my God!"
The man could only groan in response.
"I think that's enough haunted housing for today". Xavier decided as he picked you up and ran out before any other staff would have caught you in the act.
Safe to say, haunted houses are definitely a big no on your list (not Xavier's though lol).

LADS: Haunted House! 🎃
"Are you sure you can't come?" You called over the phone, stopping in-between your tracks as you pack your essentials inside your handbag, contemplating whether to push through with your plans for the day.
"I really can't, I'll make it up to you on another day", Tara answered on the other line. "The paperworks for this week have been pilling non-stop and I doubt I can finish on time". Tara continued, as she began stacking and stappling piles of paper one after the other.
"I promise, I'll make it up to you next time." Tara reassured you as she continued to segregate documents into different piles according to department.
"Don't worry about it, besides the amusement park will be here for a month long".
"Actually," Tara began, "There is a new attraction people have been going on about lately. I just so happen to have two free tickets to it! Maybe, you'd like to use it and hangout with someone?"
"To where exactly?"
"Details, details. Trust me! It'll be fun! I'll send over the code. I have to go in a bit. Jenna might have my head if I don't take these up. See you soonest and enjoy!"
Without getting a chance to ask for more, Tara dropped the call and immediately, a short ping from your phone came through. It was a code for admission for two (2) to the amusement parks brand new attraction: Haunted in Linkon
As lame as the name had sounded, it was interesting. Having already prepared to leave, you decided to pull up a last-minute call. I wonder who'd you'd ring for this abrupt date?
Choose your partner to proceed to your desired chapter!
🍓A/N: Yay! Finally done with Rafayel's part. I made sure this one would hurt like a bitch because I've been dying to write an angsty fic with him for quite some time and I'm so excited to write the comfort that comes after this! Also~ (again) this wasn't proof-read so, please excuse a few errors here & there.

📍Character/s: Rafayel
Zayne | Sylus
Today was an absolute disaster.
Nothing that went on today went according to how Rafayel had planned it. First, he accidentally broke his one and only favorite brush this morning while looking for it, second: Thomas kept pestering him about the new pieces for the upcoming art gallery this weekend, and third: he ran out of paint. Of all the days he could have ran out of paint, it just had to be today when the dates to showcase all his work are so close.
Not to mention, he's only done 2 pieces because the rest looked like absolute abominations to decorate a wall. For the past week, Rafayel has done nothing but sketch, paint, and repeat to the point where he'd often skip his meals and outright cut-off communication from the world as he tries to focus on the upcoming art gallery. Unknowingly, at the cost of his focus and dedication towards his work, Rafayel just so happened to miss a very important schedule on his calender: Your birthday.
To say you were expecting would be the understatement of the century. You had been looking forward to your very special day for such a long time. Although you and Rafayel have not quite spoken as frequently as you had hoped, you could not help but feel excited to see your boyfriend and his so-called special surprise for your special day. The week prior, Rafayel had been leaving hints for you since the month started about what you'd expect to be seeing for your special day.
Unfortunately, as you awoke from you deep sleep to the sound of your beeping alarm clock and endless string of messages from friends and co-workers alike, you were missing one thing. Specifically, a person.
Huh. Rafayel isn't here? The thought alone made your heart dropped. Since the beginning of your relationship, you and Rafayel had always made a habit to surprise each other by throwing a simple surprise before they wake up. So, seeing your room barren of any sort of decors, colors, and your boyfriend gave your heart a tight squeeze. But, you forced that thought into the back of your head because you also knew that he had a big art gallery coming up this weekend. Being the kind and considerate girlfriend that you are, you tried to focus on the brighter side of thigs.
The day had just started, right? So, it would not hurt your little heart and head to dress up nice and visit your boyfriend. Putting up the brightest smile, you got off from your bed and headed to the bathroom to get yourself ready for the day ahead.
As you finally reached your destination, you could not help but wonder what your boyfriend has been up to lately. Sure, he is a very busy and in-demand artist but was it that difficult to send a message to your inbox for updates? Your mood began to soil as you reached to open the doors and enter his home. Being Rafayel's girlfriend of many years has granted you the perks of easy access to his home, more-so his private studio at the end of the hall.
With a gentle knock on the door, you called out to your boyfriend but was only greeted with silence. You waited for a while, giving an allowance of a few seconds for him to answer the knocks on his door but he never came to open and answer for you. You decided to give it a small push and peak through the already-present gap between door and the frame to see the room in an absolute mess.
As you scrunched your brows together in confusion, you took your time to breathe in a relaxing inhale of air before exhaling and finally pushing your hand against the door to open it wide enough to see your boyfriend standing in front of a painting. But, from the looks of it, he wasn't happy at all and you couldn't help but feel dread that your day would travel fast from bad to worse.
"Rafayel?" You called out from across the room, patiently waiting for a response from your boyfriend. But, it seems as if he was so focused on his piece that he did not even register your words or your presence as you entered the room. Taking in a sigh, you carefully walked towards him as if you were afraid you'd shatter his patience then as you approached him and the painting.
"Rafayel," you called out again, reaching out to tug on his sleeve which caused him to jolt and turn his attention towards you. With wide-eyes, he reached out and cupped your face and stared at you with the most loving gaze. "My love, you're here," he started, his brows scrunched together in confusion.
"I was wondering where my boyfriend would be on such a special day," You half-heartedly joked as you also grabbed a hold of his hand on your cheek and gave it a light squeeze. "I can see you're really busy today."
Despite the comment not holding any offense, Rafayel could not help but scrunch his brows nose and brows in unison. He knows you didn't mean it in an offensive way but something about the way it was phrased irked him a bit. But, he didn't want to think too much about it since you had gone out of your way to come visit him.
"Of course, I'd be busy. Can't have my precious clients waiting out for my one-of-a-kind pieces," Rafayel replied, picking up a brand new paintbrush from one of the palette's nearby and began playing around with the colors on the canvas while the paint hadn't fully dried off yet as he attempts to blend the shades of blue and black against each other.
With his response, you couldn't help but bite your lip and tug on a portion of the hem of your dress in attempt to ease your mind as you were contemplating whether to throw in the big question, or rather, if he could at least remember what day it was today. Taking in a deep breathe and letting out a small sigh, you approached him carefully and wrapped your arms around his torso as you let your head partially bear weight and lean on his back.
With the sudden contact, Rafayel paused for a short moment and turned his head to catch a glimpse of you.
"I just," you started in a small voice, hoping it would be loud enough for him to still hear you. "I just wanted to see if you wanted to go out today. It's such a beautiful day and it would be a waste to spend the entire day cooped up in the studio. There are plenty of things we can do together, if you'd like." You said, slowly lifting your gaze to meet him eye-to-eye as you gave Rafayel a small smile, quietly hoping he'd get the hint and wishfully thinking that he'd remember your special day today.
But, instead you got the exact opposite.
"I'm just too busy today, can't we just take a rain check?" Rafayel responded, giving your hands a quick squeeze before stepping out of your embrace. "We see each other almost every day, don't you think a little space in-between us would do wonders?"
"Rafayel, I haven't seen you in weeks. You haven't called or even bothered to text me anymore. I don't think what I'm asking for it too much to request from you." You pointed out, finally feeling your anger, disappointment, and heartache roll off your body like a wave. At this point, it wasn't just you who felt the energy negating from your body but also from his.
Rafayel didn't waste a second as he spun around and stared at your figure. "Maybe if you weren't such a nuisance in this life, I would actually have the heart to be bothered to be talking with you. If you're going to act this way, then get out."
"You're being real mature right now, Rafayel." You continued as you tried to hold your ground and face him head on despite knowing your heart's about to break at any given moment.
"Well, I didn't ask or need you to come visit me. Get that through your head and get out. I've already got a lot on my plate". This time, he said a little louder than before. Not bothering to spare a glance, he turned his back and continued to paint and mix colors onto the canvas. That action alone was enough to break the dam in your eyes and feel the waterworks making its way to both of your eyes.
As much as you wanted to scream to fight your way through it, you just did not have the strength in your heart to go through another heartache so instead, you decided to back away slowly before turning your back fully at him.
What was meant to be a sweet reunion between lovers had become such a sour end. Not bothering to put up with this energy, you quicken your pace and leave the studio with a loud bang from the door and quickly run out of his home. But of course, you knew, no matter how far you'd run he wouldn't chase after you because after all you were just a bother in his eyes.

LADS Headcanons: MOST TO LEAST LIKELY Follow Emergency Protocols
Zayne ☃️
Hello??? He's a doctor??? A legit medical professional??? Man is built to follow the book, rule-by-rule. Also makes you recite protocols before and after an emergency drills for extra safety measures
101% have all the exits memorized in case of emergencies, regardless of the case scenario
Ensures all staff and patients under his care are safe and away from harm! <3
Probably the most well-equipped man in the hospital for emergency preparedness betting money he won an award for it at some point
Probably the only one who takes emergency drills seriously out of all the hospital staff
A loud blarring sound could be heard from the hall onwards from Zayne's office. Without a second thought, Zayne immediately dropped down under his desk along with you.
"What's going on?" You panicked, huddling closer than ever to Zayne, trying to make room underneath his small desk.
"Emergency Drill #13 for the week". Was all he responded as the blarring sound of the siren began to quiet down. As you were about to ask more questions, he immediately pushed over his desk and carried you bridal-style while rushing to the nearest window and breaking it open to hop onto the emergency staircase as you screamed with the sudden loss of solid ground as you both jumped down from the building.
Apparently, Zayne holds mandatory emergency surprise drills weekly on the dot and you just happened to have your scheduled check-up on his 13th surprise drill for the week, on a Wednesday. You've left a mental note to check-in on Yvonne for any emergency drills before scheduling a session with Zayne.
Caleb 🍎
Wholeheartedly believe he has the necessary survival instincts to get through the apocalypse or even a basic fire drill.
Participates in the drills just to show-off but rarely pays attention to the details about assigned emergency exits per floor and makes his own way out breaks more windows that Zayne
Probably uses the drills as an excuses to hold your hand as you exit the room or to carry you in his arms as he runs to safety he's also the reason why the alarms are on lol
Rings the fire alarm every once in a while to get an excuse to come home early from work
"Hey pips! Got off early from work today. I'm coming by to see you once I get things sorted out". You heard him respond through the phone but you doubt he'd even try to "get things sorted out" and just ditch to run to his car.
"Did you press the fire alarm again?" You guessed, packing in important documents into the respective folders while you sat at your desk in HQ. "Caleb, you know they'll figure out it's you sooner or later".
The other end remained silent and the first thing that popped up into your mind became your next reply:"Oh my God, you made Gideon do it?".
You knew you got him when you heard him give out a small chuckle.
"You're unbelievable". You sigh, as you continued to pack away documents and listen to his rationalization of his grand scheme to get off early from work.
Sylus 🐦⬛
Hear me out...he's probably the reason why the fire alarms got off the moment he stepped inside the HQ building
Will he follow protocols? ✨️Probably not✨️
As dangerous as it was, he found it mildly entertaining seeing everyone panic as they exit the building a bit of a slow day you could say for the big bad boss
Seeing him as you rush down from the staircase, you had to do a double-take to make sure you weren't seeing things
You felt an incoming migraine about to hit as you walked over to Sylus, cornering him as people ran left and right trying to get to the exit.
"Did you ring the alarm?"
"Well that's a nice way of greeting a lover after a hard day's work". He replied, giving you his usual knowing and smug look. In no time, he had his big hand on your lower back as he gently guided you towards the direction of another exit. "I am starving, and you took 2 seconds too long to pick up the phone".
Xavier🛸 & Rafayel🖌
Hear me out 🗣🗣🗣 putting them both at an equal spot because I highkey believe they could be the main reason why the fire alarms are turned on.
Rafayel was busy painting while lounging in your couch when he smelled a distinct burning odor coming from the other side of the apartment. Immediately, he ran towards the source and found Xavier attempting to put out the fire from the kitchen's stove.
"Xavier, quit it! You're making it worse". Rafayel yelled, also trying to find a way to prevent the fire from getting worse. Unfortunately, leaving the two of them alone to house sit wasn't the best of choice.
Safe to say at least Caleb picked up the call and helped put out the fire but ultimately also cause another fire hazard while playing around with the appliances in attempt to teach Xavier how to heat up food.
🍓A/N: Yeah, I'm on my period too~ hope this can bring in a good laugh or two. This will be my bare minimum effort for the week since I have work tomorrow lol this is the fastest thing I was able to finish 2nite
SYNPOSIS: Period pain and men. That's it.
📍characters: Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, Caleb (Separate)
Looking to get notfied? Tag yourself here!
XAVIER
Actually volunteers to try it out to better understand how it goes for you during your monthly visit.
"This is actually fine". He says, before you crank up the pain at the highest level, there you could see Xavier succumbing to the pain, going all out on all fours on the floor. Gripping the area near his stomach, gasping out in pain. "Holy fucking shit!" He groans out, attempting to stand up by grabbing the edge of the chair before he stumbles over a non-existent bump on the floor and falls face-first on the floor.
Prefers to either crawl on all fours or drag his body from point A to point B because of the pain. You asked multiple times if he was okay but Xavier only responded: "Crank it up, I can take it".
He in fact, could not take it and ended up passing out on the floor and waking up to find himself on your couch with a pillow under his head and a blanket over his body.
"You know, you didn't have to go through it". You said, his head now resting against your lap as you comb through his very soft and messy hair.
"I did it so I could understand your pain. I don't want you to suffer all that and not get the comfort you deserve." He says, looking up at you as he holds your hand firmly against his chest. "I'll work hard to do more for you." He promises, placing a kiss against your hand.
"That's so sweet, you definitely deserve a good treat for all your trouble," you commented as you reached out to grab your phone. "I hope Charlie's bakery is open, we can have him deliver those cookies you like".
Xavier's smile twitches and slowly forms into a frown. He hated to admit it but Charlie's cookies are good and he definitely needed the comfort food after the hell he just went through. Xavier made sure to make a mental note to sneak into Charlie's bakery and nab his cookie recipes to make some for you during your period week.
ZAYNE
Being a doctor grants him the knowledge of understanding your monthly cycle and struggles so, being given the opportunity to actually try out the simulator was a chance for him to actually better understand how it affect the human body.
At first, everything was fine. The first two settings were tolerable and then he decided to crank it up a bit, that's where Zayne started to feel the actual roller coaster ride of hell.
Just to make matters worse, Greyson entered his office to discuss a new case they were expected to dive into in a few days.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Greyson asks, lifting his gaze from the documents and eyeing Zayne with much concern.
Zayne who was clearly uncomfortable with the hell he inflicted upon himself, stands at a very awkward position, with his hand on his couch holding for support and another attached to his hip in hopes adding pressure would somehow ease the pain.
"Never better". He responds with a tight smile. That same day, he came home to you with flowers of your favorite type and bags of your favorite meal. When you asked what it was all about, Zayne could only respond by pulling you in a tight hug and peppering you with the sweetest and softest kisses all over.
RAFAYEL
He passes out and doesn't make it pass through the first setting.
Cuddles you non-stop after waking up from his pain-induced experience.
Rafayel was basically attached to you like a newborn Koala, refusing to let go. "Come on Rafayel. I have work in a few minutes". You whine as you try to untangle yourself from Rafayel.
He whines and continues to grip your waist tighter as he sprawled himself on your couch like an octopus, trying to weigh you down.
"No! That was like hell for me, how much more would it be for you? Stay at home and let me take care of you, just this time". And when I tell you, Rafayel gives out the sweetest and cutest pout you'd ever seen, it's hard to say no to such sweet face.
With your leave for the day granted, Rafayel wasted no time in ordering you all your favourite meals and giving you all the kisses and cuddles he could offer before it was his turn to get all the cuddling and babying treatment from you.
SYLUS
A lot stronger than you think, he actually could handle the pain even if it was nearing the highest. But you could definitely tell he was about curl up any moment.
Sighing, you get up from your seat and walk towards him, wrapping your arms from behind and bring him closer to your body with your head resting upon his.
Sylus, suprised by your sudden gesture could only put out a small smile on his lips as he gently flips through the files he was so intrigued on reading.
"You know, you could call it quits and we can go out for some good seafood". You commented, hugging him a little tighter.
"And let you gloat about how I can't handle pain? Please. There are many things that I face on a daily, this is just a little bump on a road of trials". He comments, pulling you a little closer to him because whether he would admit it or not, your warmth and all that you are were enough to drive the pain away.
That same night, he burns the pain simulator to ashes, out of sight, out of mind
CALEB
Crumbles to the floor as you hit the highest setting on the simulator, groaning and panting on the floor as he tries to rub his stomach to ease the pain.
"Between getting shot and this, I'd choose getting shot any day". Caleb says, as he curls into a fetal position before changing forms and rolling himself on the floor like a log.
Doesn't pass out but chooses to drag his body from point A to B across the apartment, you could actually see him crawling towards the couch before collapsing on the floor with a loud thud.
Not long after, Caleb rips off the simulator from his body and pulls your body onto the couch for a long cuddle. "That shit was nasty, I can't believe that happens to you monthly!".
Afterwards, Caleb decided to make your day as special as he could. He pampered with all the things you could ever want and need because he cares for you that much. "I'll make sure to make it easier for you each day." He promises to you and he always kept his promises, making sure to fulfill your every request without complaint.
THE FLOWER BANNER IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL WHAAAAT AND THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD!!
XAVIER BEATING UP THE PLUSHIE, ZAYNE PLAYING WITH THE BIRD, RAFAYEL SKETCHING ON THE TREE, SYLUS LOUNGING ON THE FLOWER BEDDING, AND CALEB LAUGHING HIS HEART OUT AAAARGH—I’M OBSESSED 😩😩
🍓A/N: Yay! Finally done with Rafayel's part. I made sure this one would hurt like a bitch because I've been dying to write an angsty fic with him for quite some time and I'm so excited to write the comfort that comes after this!

It's such a beautiful day and it would be a waste to spend the entire day cooped up in the studio. There are plenty of things we can do together, if you'd like." You said, slowly lifting your gaze to meet him eye-to-eye as you gave Rafayel a small smile, quietly hoping he'd get the hint and wishfully thinking that he'd remember your special day today.
But, instead you got the exact opposite.
"I'm just too busy today, can't we just take a rain check?" Rafayel responded, giving your hands a quick squeeze before stepping out of your embrace. "We see each other almost every day, don't you think a little space in-between us would do wonders?"
"Rafayel, I haven't seen you in weeks. You haven't called or even bothered to text me anymore. I don't think what I'm asking for it too much to request from you." You pointed out, finally feeling your anger, disappointment, and heartache roll off your body like a wave. At this point, it wasn't just you who felt the energy negating from your body but also from his.
Rafayel didn't waste a second as he spun around and stared at your figure. "Maybe if you weren't such a nuisance in this life, I would actually have the heart to be bothered to be talking with you. If you're going to act this way, then get out."
"You're being real mature right now, Rafayel." You continued as you tried to hold your ground and face him head on despite knowing your heart's about to break at any given moment.
"Well, I didn't ask or need you to come visit me. Get that through your head and get out. I've already got a lot on my plate". This time, he said a little louder than before. Not bothering to spare a glance, he turned his back and continued to paint and mix colors onto the canvas. That action alone was enough to break the dam in your eyes and feel the waterworks making its way to both of your eyes.
As much as you wanted to scream to fight your way through it, you just did not have the strength in your heart to go through another heartache so instead, you decided to back away slowly before turning your back fully at him.
What was meant to be a sweet reunion between lovers had become such a sour end. Not bothering to put up with this energy, you quicken your pace and leave the studio with a loud bang from the door and quickly run out of his home. But of course, you knew, no matter how far you'd run he wouldn't chase after you because after all you were just a bother in his eyes.
