Hi (๑・̑◡・̑๑) I saw you were looking for specific identity v requests.. (primarily toxic ones…cough cough). Don’t know if toxic x toxic works.. but maybe a Richard sterling x den !reader, where Richard implements strong gender roles on reader only for the reader themselves to nag him for not being a man.. aka paying for their things, typically stuff in relationships that are annoying.
Ex “why aren’t you holding my hand” when he’s carrying everything.
“Bare minimum” after he buys them expensive things
Or “why aren’t you emotional, suck it up” when he’s trying to complain or talk about his feelings.
Idk if this makes sense, but like reader is pretty nice, but will act snobby and uptight to people they just don’t like. Aka THEY HATE RICHARD STERLING!! I HATE RICHARD STERLING
a/n : I’ve been getting amagazin requests especially this one, this one is indeed gold this is exactly what I meant in that post, I LOVE TOXIC X TOXIC OMLLLL, also I hate his ass as well
Characters : Richard sterling
Warning : toxic relationships,misogyny, gender roles reader is referred as a Female, Richard sterling
-so lets start from how Richard even got an interest in you, he saw that you're always nice and sweet towards people not knowing about the other side of yourself being snobby and uptight
-Richard thought you were a good and easy target for his plans, confident that he didn't need that much work to manipulate you to get where he wanted to get
-The moment you two started talking you already started suspecting something about him, he was trying too hard to be perfect and to charm you but you gave him a chance anyway
-Richard really tried to implement his manipulation onto you, starting by always doing you favors, saving you, protecting you, getting things for you, so that you would have this feeling of repaying him, to depend on him
-he also started to push his mindset onto you, making it kinda obvious that you needed to rely on him since he's a ‘man’ and he's stronger than you and he needs to provide for you, and since you're the woman you should just submit to him
-That is where he started to piss you off, you noticed what he was trying to do and you didn't like it, you felt it in your gut that if you tried to rebel he'd find another way to use you so you decided to repay him, treating him like he was treating you
-from the start of your guys' relationship you changed completely
- Suddenly, you were too lazy to carry your own stuff and nagged him about carrying him cause your too weak your poor hands could never carry that many bags
-oh! You liked a necklace that cost more than anything you're wearing right now? And you don't have money? Oh don't worry, there's your boyfriend over there who said he's supposed to provide for you!
-and that we’re at it why don't you go on a shopping spree? Richard is there for you anyway, pay and carry your things since he's the man
-Richards is also someone who gets pissed off easily as well, let's say he complains a lot which is weird since a man should suck it up and be strong
“Oh my god you complain so much, you're a man Richard! Why are you so emotional”
-he’d look at you with a tired face, after all that he's been doing for you you repay him by being like this
-Richard is starting to be fed up with you, where's the nice girl that he planned to use? Where did she go? This is why you shouldn't assume things about people
-he really wants to murder you or make you end like his sister but he just can't, for his reputation and also because he needs you, alive and well
-for your guys' anniversary he tried getting you expensive things, a beautiful dress, jewels, anything Richard knew you wanted he'd get it
-but apparently that wasn't enough at all, to you that was the bare minimum
-it took everything in Richard's body to not crash out in front of you, instead, he just went near you and caressed your cheek even kissing it and saying he'd make it up for the missing gifts you were expecting
-dont get me wrong it's not only you being exhausting, but it's him as well, as I said Richard pushes gender roles in your relationship
-Richard gets very annoying if you talk to another man, even if it's a short chat or your just trying to order something
-he also insists you cook, even if you did once and he felt like there was rat poison in it
“C’mon dear eat! It took me hours to prepare this meal just for you!”
You said with a sweet smile on your face, a fake one, you were simply testing if he was smart enough to know not to trust you
“…do you think I’m stupid enough to eat what you cook?”
-that sparked another argument between you two, Richard going off how much he’s doing for you and you insisting he doesn’t trust you
-This was probably one of the most calm arguments you guys had since when you two argue it’s mad crazy, one time he locked you in your room for hours and you threatened him with a knife
-Richard despises you as much as you despise him, you repay him with the same card he's using on you
-maybe that's one of the reasons he doesn't want to leave you yet and doesn't want you to leave him, Richards still hasn't destroyed you, and you still haven't destroyed him
