Hi ! I decided to put some rules for requests here ^-^ !
Headcanons Moonlight lovers.
I write about :
I write headcanons for Moonlight lovers. (Vladimir, Béliath, Ivan, Aaron, Raphaël, Neil, Léandra et Farah)
Maybe I'll write NSFW. So you can always request about it and I'll see if I feel capable to writing it. (They will be tagged as : MoonlightLoversNSFW which you can block if you don't want to see NSFW content.) Of course, NSFW is forbidden to minors.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about this, but what last name do you think the boys+neil would have? Have a nice day<3
What are the boys' last names? :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
It was a bit complicated because family names didn't always exist. But I did what I could to try and remain consistent.
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
I assume that Vladimir has an English last name and not one of the upper classes of the time, given that his mother is one of the new rich.
I think he didn't get his father's last name because I imagine that Vladimir's father's relationship with his family must really not have been good, by which I mean that his mother's family is not the only rich family in Europe at the time and yet that's who he chose for an arranged marriage, when it would have been much simpler to take a Hungarian family and not move so far away from the land he was supposed to inherit (I mean, it's shooting yourself in the foot to move so far away). Secondly, Vladimir doesn't seem to know exactly where his father's family lives, which seems a bit strange because : You don't travel much in those days, but you exchange letters with your family and friends and, above all, there are maps, boats and the train which is developing. What's more, Vladimir's mother's family is rich, so they can pay for the journey without any problems.
Vladimir is still very attached to his last name, which is a bit unusual for a vampire of his age. He continues to use it frequently, whether to sign letters or other documents, or even to introduce himself to other vampires.
Béliath :
I don't think there are any family names for incubi and succubi, there probably aren't very many of them and they are all easily recognisable by a particular feature, such as "Asmodeus the powerful", without doubt Beliath is known as Beliath son of Asmodeus.
He really doesn't understand the purpose of last names among humans, or how they're supposed to be passed on, let alone why some people are so attached to them - after all, he doesn't have one and he doesn't mind. He wouldn't mind taking his partner's last name if his partner wanted it.
He sometimes uses last name when he wants to pass himself off a bit more as a human, but they're always the most basic last names possible. He used to have fun using more original ones, but Aaron pointed out to him that it was stupidly dangerous to make himself stand out even more than he already was by his behaviour, so since then he's been much more careful.
Ivan :
I can imagine him having a compound last name, perhaps a French last name and a Slavic last name. My idea is that at least one of his parents comes from a Slavic country or has parents from a Slavic country (which would explain his first name other than the idea that his parents were fans of a film character called Ivan).
Ivan, like the vast majority of young vampires, finds it hard to shake off his family name. He uses it often, much too often in the eyes of Aaron, who finds it dangerous, after all, the town is small and there shouldn't be any namesakes. Ivan tries hard to break the habit, but he can't help it, he's still too attached to his last name to forget it.
Sometimes he tries to use a different one, but they're often last names taken from films or characters he really likes. It's no more discreet than his real last name, but Aaron thinks it's better than nothing.
Aaron :
It's more complicated for Aaron because I have no idea how last name evolved in Spain during the century in which he was born. But I suppose if he has a last name it's probably his mother's, as he was born out of wedlock and his mother doesn't seem to have lived with his father. Perhaps something to do with sewing, as his mother was a seamstress for the village, so he would probably have been known as the seamstress's son.
Aaron has almost forgotten his last name anyway. He never uses it and isn't even sure how it's supposed to be spelt. It doesn't really matter to him though, it's just a last name and he doesn't feel particularly attached to it, preferring to be known as his mother's son as he was brought up entirely by her.
Most of the time, when he has to use a last name, he uses very common last name depending on the country he lives in: Smith when he lives in England, for example, or Martin when he lives in France. Its aim is to go as unnoticed as possible.
Raphaël :
There's not much difference in age between Raphael and Aaron, and I don't know how the family name evolved in Italy at that time either. But, I suppose it would be an Italian last name, probably related to art or painting, especially if his family had been painters for several generations. If his father was famous, there's a good chance that he would also have called himself Raphael, son of "his father's name". On the other hand, if it was his family in general that was famous, he would probably have defined himself by a last name.
He likes his last name, even though he doesn't use it any more, it's still part of his life in one way or another. He wouldn't introduce himself with it though.
Raphaël doesn't care about discretion, if he has to use a last name he'll always choose something nice to the ear, even if it's completely out of tune with the time or place he lives in. This really annoys Aaron, because yes, Raphaël will use the last name Rossignol without hesitation, a nightingale is pretty, so why shouldn't he use it, and yes, he'll also use the last name Citron, he likes lemons and yellow is a very pretty colour, so why shouldn't he be called Raphaël Citron?
Ethan :
A Finnish last name, I imagine a fairly common one. There's a good chance it's his father's last name.
He remains quite attached to it, even though he hasn't used his last name for years. After all, it's the last thing he has left of his parents that still ties him to his family. However, nobody at the manor knows him, he really prefers to keep it to himself like a secret; he doesn't think he'd like to hear one of his housemates call him by his last name.
Like Raphaël, he uses last names that he likes rather than discreet ones, and he uses a lot of last names from films or video games that he likes, so he's already introduced himself as Skywalker or Wayne, much to Aaron's dismay.
Neil :
There isn't really a last name at the time, I think the way he defines himself changes between before he takes hostages and after, before I'd see him introducing himself more as Neil son of "his father's name" (and even then given that the relationship with his father was pretty bad I doubt he really wanted to define himself that way) then if you follow the canon of the game and the history he'd introduce himself as Neil Noígíallach after taking the 9 hostages. But as with many people at the time, it's more a name to show off his exploits than a real last name.
I don't think he uses his last name much. He uses it to impress people and to remind them that he's old and powerful. But he doesn't attach too much importance to it.
He is one of the only vampires who can present himself under his family name. So he doesn't try to invent one when he wants to introduce himself. Vampires who know a bit about Irish history immediately understand who he is, and apart from humans who know a bit about Irish history, most don't really react.
Léandra :
As with Beliath, Leandra is better known as Leandra daughter of Asmodeus. She has not yet achieved anything significant enough to be known for it, but she's trying to achieve something big enough among the succubi to be known for it.
She doesn't understand at all the attraction humans have for family names, or why they always seem to be passed down through the father. As far as she's concerned, if they were to be passed down at all, it would only be through the most powerful parent or the one who has achieved the greatest feat.
When she has to introduce herself under a last name among humans, she always looks for something amusing and sensual. Yes, she has no problem calling herself Léandra Blackwidow, she even finds it very amusing. In fact, she makes a lot of puns with her first name.
Farah :
She's older than Aaron and I have the same problem as him. What's more, given that she left her family with her brother after a row with their father, I'd imagine there's little chance of her introducing herself as Farah, daughter of "her father's name". Perhaps she'd introduce herself as Farah, Ernesto's sister for a while and then probably as Farah, "the pack leader's name".
She understands the usefulness of last name but has never actually used one. It's not something that's really common among werewolves, as most of them define themselves by the pack to which they belong. In most cases, a last name is completely useless.
If she really has to use a last name, she'll look for something common to the time and country she's in, to try and go as unnoticed as possible.
Here’s the headcanon from Mc sick, this time with Léandra. All that’s left to do is Farah. I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Léandra hardly ever falls ill, apart from the violent headaches she has to put up with when her horns grow, the pain in her back when her wings grow, or period pains that sometimes leave her exhausted enough to fall asleep against you on the sofa. Even though she hates being ill, she appreciates these moments because it's the first time in her life that someone has looked after her with kindness and without expecting anything in return.
She doesn't know much about human health. She was never interested in it until she started to fall in love with you, so she doesn't really know how she could help you, but she's trying, after all, you look after her when she's not feeling well, so it seems normal to her to look after you when you're the one who's ill. She worries quite quickly though, she doesn't really know what a human can take and she often imagines the worst at the first sign of illness.
When you're ill, she asks you a lot about what she has to do and what you need, and she'll try to fulfil your every wish, even if that means going to the other end of town to buy you some medicine or wiping away the sweat that fever can cause. She's even prepared to spoon-feed you if you want her to, as long as it keeps you out of pain.
You had settled into a grand five-star hotel in a capital city that Léandra was absolutely determined to show you around. The day before you'd gone to a concert and the day before that to a funfair. Usually you don't mind so much activities, but today you were exhausted… and not only that. Your head hurt, your eyes hurt, your legs hurt… in fact you hurt all over, and a cough that wouldn't go away and was only getting worse. You sat up in bed feeling like your body weighed a ton before looking around the room for your partner, a slight noise in the bathroom told you that she was probably there and you lay back down to wait for her to come out, you were far too tired to even think about joining her.
She came back into the room about ten minutes later, her wet hair wrapped in a large towel and her skin smelling of shower gel. Seeing you, Léandra immediately stopped whatever joke she'd been trying to tell and her forehead wrinkled with concern.
"My sweetheart?! You look really unwell tonight."
You let out a grunt before propping yourself up on one elbow to answer him.
"I feel like I've been used as a rattle by a dragon… I'm aching all over…
-Is that worrying? Do you need me to take you to hospital?"
You shook your head before letting yourself fall back against the mattress. "No, I must have caught a cold," you mumbled, "I'll probably feel better tomorrow."
Despite everything, Léandra doesn't seem reassured, and she approaches you to place her hand on your forehead. The touch of her cool skin against your forehead makes you sigh with relief. She sits down on the bed to stroke your hair.
"Do you need anything? I can go and get you some medicine.
-No need to go to the chemist. I've got some in my suitcase," you say. I'd love some honey tea, though, my throat hurts. "
Léandra kisses your forehead before getting up to call room service, she also fetches a flannel from your suitcase to apply a fresh skin of water to your face as well as the medicine you've indicated. She helps you drink the glass of water that comes with the medicine by letting you lean against her, her lightly flapping wings refreshing you a little and once you're back in bed you enjoy the feel of the water against your skin as she gently dabs your forehead and cheeks to cool you down with the flannel.
Léandra brings you your honey tea as soon as room service takes it to her. She sits right behind you so that you can lean against her chest. You still feel tired, but your partner's breathing soothes you.
"Are you sure you don't need a doctor or something? asks Léandra after touching your forehead again. I don't like you being so ill.
-I'll be fine," you reply after a sip of herbal tea. But I'm sorry, my darling. We won't be able to continue our tour of the capital today," you sigh. I know you wanted to show me the disco where you usually go.
-It's no big deal. I've made you run everywhere this week. I'd rather you rested. We could watch a film together if you like."
-I don't really feel like it, my eyes and head hurt… I'd rather sleep a bit… "
Léandra kisses your hair. "You can sleep as much as you like, my sweet."
You smile and it doesn't take long before you finish your herbal tea. Léandra leans over to put the cup back on the bedside table and you curl up against your partner, her wings wrapped around you to form a little cocoon.
As with some requests, it's in my word file, but I can't find it in my inbox. I'm posting it anyway. I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Have a nice day and take care of yourself. ^^
SFW :
You didn't think the relationship would work out in the first place. You were in a couple with Beliath long before you added Vladimir to your relationship. And you still don't really know how it happened. Beliath had already told you that he found Vladimir handsome and that he wouldn't mind inviting him into your bed one night, and you couldn't deny your attraction to the aristocrat. Vladimir's attraction, however, whether to you or to Beliath, you both had no idea.
Sometimes there were little clues, glances from Vladimir that made you doubt, but that's Vladimir, he'd stammer and blush as soon as you suggested something before running off, so you might as well say that you didn't push too hard so as not to make him feel uncomfortable.
The relationship only worked because you made the first move towards him. Did you both dance with him at a party that Beliath was organising? Yes, absolutely. Did you do it several times? Well, that evening, the aristocrat received the full attention of both of you and you treated him like a prince. He can't deny it and say he didn't appreciate it, you couldn't miss all his smiles as you both tried to win him over.
Once the restrictive mores of his time were forgotten, he began to relax. He still avoids being tactile in public as it still makes him uncomfortable, but Vladimir no longer hesitates to introduce the two of you as his partners. As for Beliath, he's still as tactile as ever and takes great pleasure in carrying Vladimir like a princess just for the pleasure of hearing him protest (especially as Vladimir complains but never tries to get off his arms).
When the three of you sleep together, it's never complicated. Beliath particularly likes to sleep in the middle like a starfish, holding the two of you to him with his arms, and Vladimir is fine with anything as long as he can snuggle up to one of you.
The three of you sometimes go out on the town, especially to restaurants. It has to be said that Vladimir and Beliath share the same love of great chic restaurants. You and Béliath have even managed to convince Vladimir to go to the cinema a few times, although it's always to see period dramas, but it's still a romantic trip to the cinema.
NSFW :
Vladimir is not the most sexually active of the three of you. Sometimes he participates, but most of the time there's little sex with him, especially compared to Beliath. Vladimir is mainly there for the romantic part of your relationship and most of the time that's more than enough for him. But that doesn't mean he never participates.
Sometimes Vladimir likes to be temperamental and unpleasant. Just to get one of you to put him in his place, he's very imaginative when it comes to that. And that's just as well, because Beliath knows how to put brats in their place, and Vladimir is always a little ashamed of how much it turns him on.
On the occasions when Vladimir agrees to take part in your lovemaking, he lets you and Beliath decide everything. He trusts you, there's a good chance you're more experienced than he is and even if you're not, Beliath is more than experienced enough for the two of you.
Beliath always tries to make Vladimir as incoherent as possible, seeing the aristocrat, usually so authoritative, unable to string three coherent words together because his mind is so muddled with pleasure is something Beliath thinks he can't get enough of. What's more, it's perfectly capable of putting you in the same state at the same time. It's not an incubus for nothing.
Beliath loves strutting around with the marks of the two of you on his body, even if he makes a few efforts to hide the marks that Vladimir makes, because he knows it makes him uncomfortable. If you don't mind, he won't hesitate to wear light clothes when he has them. After all, it's important that everyone can see how much his partners appreciate him. He doesn't just give himself to anyone.
It likes to make marks on your skin almost as much, he'll be careful to make them for you in discreet places if you don't like them being visible, but if you don't care, Beliath will have a field day. He might even try to arrange for you both to have them in the same place.
Beliath is not at all discreet. The fact that everyone in the manor knows what he does is not a problem for him, after all, you treat him so well, it would be a shame if everyone didn't know that his partners are exceptional. He screams and moans until he loses his voice, and it's hard for you not to understand that you're doing him good.
Beliath is not bothered by the idea of being surprised either, of course, he knows how to adapt and he is careful not to let anyone see him with Vladimir, the aristocrat would probably faint with shame if they did. But if you don't have a problem with the risk of getting caught, he'll pull you against him in any room in the manor, or even outside.
Heyy! I like your headcanons a lot, and I think I saw request were open, so I just thought how would you think the Moonlight lovers boys (+ Leandra and farah) would react to MC being a werewolf? Thanks for reading my request :) -🪷
MC is a Werewolf :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
It was cold when you arrived at the manor, a real storm was raging in the forest and several tree branches had already landed in the garden when Vladimir heard you knock on the door. Of course, he immediately invited you in, despite his distrust of you. He didn't immediately realise that you were a werewolf, you look far too much like a human and he doesn't have a good sense of smell, but even if you had only been a human, he couldn't have left you out in that storm - it was far too dangerous and he didn't want to risk you getting hurt because he refused to help you.
You told him you were a werewolf after he passed you a towel to dry you off and after you've sat down in front of the fireplace to warm up.
He's a bit wary at first, as you werewolves are known to be impulsive and hot-blooded. He remembers very well the time he had to come between Aaron and Beliath, one night when the incubus had pushed poor Aaron too far (don't ask him how he found the courage to come between Béliath and an angry werewolf, he has no idea). Even if you don't seem aggressive, he knows that the phases of the moon play a big part in your mood and he needs a little time to feel secure in your presence.
But after spending some time together, he realises that you're no more temperamental than Aaron and that you've got a good handle on your emotions. So he's not really afraid of making you angry any more - well, he's not trying to make you angry, but he's not afraid of the consequences if you disagree about something.
After spending time with you, he'll even become a little curious. He'll know that lone werewolves are pretty rare, because living in a pack gives you a great deal of protection in all areas, whether it's a question of health or protection against hunters of supernatural creatures. He will no doubt ask you questions about this at some point, but he won't insist if you refuse to answer.
As with Aaron, he always tries to lighten your workload a few days before a full moon and a few days after. Having lived with Aaron for so long, he knows that this period is always complicated for you, both physically and mentally, and he doesn't want to add to it by asking you to do too many things.
He really enjoys walking with you in the forest, even if you have more energy than he does. He really doesn't know how you manage to walk for so long without collapsing from exhaustion on the way home. After every walk with you, his legs get heavy and sore and it takes him the rest of the night to recover. Maybe it amuses you a little, but in any case, he's always grateful when you bring him a cup of tea in the living room while he's resting.
One night, there was no wood left to light the fire in the fireplace because Ethan had forgotten to cut some in the forest. You found the poor Vladimir shivering in the sitting room with his blanket over his shoulders. You felt a little sorry for him, even more so as he pulled the blanket tighter around his shoulders. After smiling at him, you decided to turn into a wolf and warm him with your fur. Vladimir really appreciated the gesture, and even fell asleep without realising it (he was a bit embarrassed afterwards and kept blushing).
Béliath :
He was with Vladimir when he opened the door for you. He would have let you in if Vladimir hadn't done so anyway. Staying outside in such a storm meant running the risk of getting hurt trying to cross the forest, which was why he hadn't gone to the Moondance that evening. Unlike Vladimir, he very quickly realised that you were a werewolf, almost immediately in fact, you had a similar aura and smell to Aaron. He went straight away to get you a towel so you could dry off while Vladimir led you into the small living room so you could warm up in front of the fireplace.
Even though he's a bit wary because of the Farah thing, he's very quick to be friendly with you. After all, you had nothing to do with it and there's little chance that you'll come to hurt Aaron too. What's more, it's not every day that he gets to meet a werewolf. Your kind rarely venture near towns, preferring the tranquillity of the countryside.
He's curious, though, about what you do on your own. Aaron has often told him that lone werewolves aren't very common, even more so these days when even the smallest wolf is hunted down to be slaughtered; living in a pack is often a question of survival during the full moons. He also knows that the pack is essential to your survival against the hunters of supernatural creatures. He won't insist if you refuse to answer his questions though, even if he's still curious enough to try and find out what you've told the others.
He tries not to get on your nerves as the full moon approaches, not because he's afraid of your reaction, but if he did get on your nerves, he knows he'd be shouted at by the others. What's more, if you really did get so angry that you turned, he'd probably have to rely partly on Aaron to defend himself, and he knows that the wolf would gut him if he were forced to fight you to protect him.
He often invites you to come to the Moondance with him, introduces you to his friends there and shows you around. He hopes you'll stay long enough to see the themed evenings that the Moondance sometimes organises (his favourite is Halloween).
He loves going for walks with you in the forest. The problem is that you have as much energy as Aaron, and even though he's quite sporty, Beliath can't understand how you manage to walk for so long without getting exhausted. More often than not, after your walk, he'll collapse into a nice hot bath.
He was waiting with you for Ethan at the edge of the forest. The doctor was running a little late and he hadn't planned to wait outside for so long, so Béliath had nothing but his white shirt to keep warm, and you kept seeing him shivering and blowing on his hands to try and keep warm. You felt a little sorry for the poor vampire as he told you he was going to ask Ethan to lend him his jacket to make up for taking so long. He turned to you when you told him you could sort it out, before you turned into a wolf, but he didn't hesitate to come and snuggle up to you. Your fur was soft and he felt like he was wrapped in a cocoon of warmth.
Ivan :
Ivan was at the top of the stairs when you entered the manor and he immediately went to take refuge in his room for fear that you might be a human he might hurt unintentionally. So he didn't listen at all to the discussion you had with Beliath and Vladimir, nor did he understand that you were a werewolf.
He spent several days wondering why the others were letting a human live with them in the manor, and it was Aaron who finally told him the truth. He felt much more reassured once he'd found out. He spent all that time afraid of attacking you but if you were a werewolf then you were safe from a young vampire like him.
Ivan is rather curious, he hasn't often met a werewolf and even though he knows Aaron, he'd be happy to ask you a few questions, as the wolf isn't always very talkative on the subject.
He notices your change in mood as the full moon approaches, but as he's used to Aaron he knows what to do and avoids making you angry. Sometimes he'll even offer you things that you enjoy or offer to come to his room to get some peace and quiet if you need it, and he'll avoid asking you any questions during this time.
He's impressed by your sense of smell and your ability to track people. He knows that werewolves have a much more powerful sense of smell than vampires, but there's a big difference between knowing it and seeing it in action. He asks you for a lot of advice on this subject and will be very happy if you try to teach him how to follow a trail.
He always enjoys long walks in the forest with you, even if it's hard for him to keep up with you, as you seem tireless and know all the secrets of the forest like the back of your hand. He's also impressed by your knowledge of flora and fauna and asks you lots of questions about it. Apart from Aaron, he doesn't know anyone who knows as much as you do.
He's still feeling a bit embarrassed about the whole thing, even though he really appreciated your attention. He hurt himself when he went for a walk in the woods with you. His ankle was in terrible pain and he couldn't put his foot on the ground without tears of pain in his eyes. You offered to help him walk to the manor house, but he couldn't stand for more than a few seconds. Ivan felt ridiculously weak and he felt as if he'd ruined your outing together by having hurt himself stupidly.
When you offered to turn yourself into a werewolf and carry him on your back to the manor house, at first he stammered an incomprehensible answer, Ethan would probably laugh at him if he saw him like that, but you insisted, promising him that you wouldn't let the doctor make fun of him, and he finally agreed. He was afraid at first that he wouldn't be able to stand on your back and that he would make an even bigger fool of himself if he fell, but you walked slowly. Your fur was very soft under his fingers and he felt really safe that way.
Aaron :
Aaron knew straight away that you were a werewolf, whether it was your smell or your aura, it was obvious to him. Of course, it's quite surprising that you're alone - there aren't many lone werewolves, as the vast majority of you prefer life in a pack - but he's quite happy to welcome you to the manor. It's not every day that he gets to talk to people of his own kind, and that does him a lot of good.
He makes sure that none of his flatmates bother you by asking too many personal questions, and even if he's curious about why you're on your own, he doesn't ask you anything about it so as not to make you feel uncomfortable. The only thing he's really worried about is whether you're a danger to his friends, and as that doesn't seem to be the case, then everything's fine.
He really enjoys spending time with you, you understand him in a way that the other members of the manor cannot. It's not always easy being a hybrid and he knows that some of his werewolf behaviour can be a bit scary for people who aren't used to dealing with them. You know exactly what he's talking about when he tells you that he feels moody as the full moon approaches, you know that it's not something you or he can control and that it's only the moment of transformation that's approaching.
You both go for very long walks in the forest. He can't walk for that long with his flatmates - they all wear themselves out after a while, even Beliath and Ethan, who are quite sporty. So walking with you is a real sense of liberation. He doesn't see the time passing and you regularly find yourself walking all night and having to rush back to the manor before sunrise so Aaron doesn't get burnt.
Having someone to joke with about the pain of the transformation tends to make it less unpleasant, and it's also reassuring to know that he's not the only one suffering. He feels less isolated and, above all, understood when you both return to the manor completely exhausted by your transformation and wanting to sleep for days on end.
It had been so long since he'd experienced a full moon with one of his own that he was a little afraid he wouldn't know how to act, but it all came back naturally. Running together under the moon, feeling the wind in his fur, racing through the forest, howling at the moon, finding a safe place to fall asleep against you. People don't realise how dangerous being a lone werewolf can be, you can't really sleep at the risk of being shot by a human or a supernatural creature hunter with you it feels much more serene and safe.
Raphaël :
He was reading in the library when you arrived. He quickly came to meet you. But, like Vladimir, he didn't immediately understand what you were. He could tell you were a supernatural creature by the aura you gave off, but Raphaël hasn't met enough werewolves to recognise their aura and smell. So he asked Beliath once he was alone with him.
He was a bit wary of you at first, even though he trusts Aaron. It wasn't meant to be mean, but werewolves aren't known for their calmness and he was a little afraid of unintentionally upsetting you. After all, he knows Aaron pretty well and he knows how to calm him down when the wolf is angry or in a bad mood, he's even often the one who mediates, but he doesn't know you very well at the moment.
But that doesn't stop him from being friendly, and he tries to come and talk to you regularly and spend some time with you to get to know you. After talking to you for a while, he'll suggest that you come and have a rest in the library with him if you're feeling irritated. It's one of the quietest rooms in the house and normally nobody should disturb you there.
He's a bit curious and wonders why you don't live in a pack like most werewolves. He won't ask you about it, though, and prefers you to bring it up on your own - he doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.
He loves walking with you, of course, but given his blindness, he has to concentrate harder than his roommates to avoid tripping over roots and it's not always very practical to move around in the woods with his white cane. He might agree to come more often if you guide him.
You'd had enough conversations with Raphaël to know that he was prone to anxiety attacks. Fortunately, in this manor, vampires stick together and on the occasions when it happened in your presence, there was always one of his housemates to help him calm down. That wasn't the case tonight, you'd been out hunting and had just returned. Beliath had gone into town with Vladimir to buy flowers, Aaron had gone hunting with Ivan and Ethan had gone out without warning. You didn't really know what had triggered Raphaël's anxiety attack, perhaps the fact of being completely alone in the manor. At first, you tried to soothe him by talking to him and stroking his back, but it didn't work. Then you had an idea.
This is something you often do as a werewolf, when a member of the pack is having an anxiety or panic attack in human form. You transformed into a wolf before resting your head on his hands. At first, the vampire gasped as he felt your fur against his fingers, but then he relaxed as he remembered that it was you who were with him. Raphaël sat down on the floor to stand closer to you, his breathing slowly calmed and he began to feel better. You stayed like that until Aaron and Ivan returned to the manor.
Ethan :
He was locked in his room when you arrived and didn't come out all night because of the storm. So it was Aaron who told him that you were a werewolf the next day. He also asked him to leave you alone and not to have fun trying to make you angry, so Aaron spoke into thin air.
Ethan spends the first few days trying to piss you off, luckily you have good self-control. You're a bit obliged as a werewolf, you can't afford to hurt everyone who pisses you off. Your calmness, however, only encourages Ethan to continue his nonsense, despite your and Aaron's repeated requests for him to stop.
Of course, one night close to the full moon, you couldn't keep your cool any longer. Ethan had never been aware of the brute strength of a werewolf, but now he has no doubt that you're much stronger than he is. Fortunately, Aaron intervened to separate you and you went out into the forest to try and regain your composure.
To say it calmed him down is an understatement, but at least he's no longer trying to make you angry every night. He avoids you a bit after that but comes back to you once he's sure you're not going to attack him again.
Finally, he's a bit more interested in you. He's noticed that, like Aaron and himself, you're an excellent hunter. He likes to ask you questions about it, or have competitions with you to see which of you can find an object the fastest.
You had just left the manor to take a walk in the forest with Ethan when fireworks started bursting in the sky. There was no party going on in town, or anything like that. So you assumed they were probably humans celebrating a birthday. It shouldn't have had any consequences and you were about to suggest going deeper into the forest so as not to be disturbed by the noise when you noticed that Ethan was breathing heavily and finally let himself slide against a tree. You knew a panic attack when you saw one.
Despite your best efforts to calm him down, the vampire didn't seem to hear you and you couldn't convince him to move and go back to the manor. You briefly considered the idea of going back to the manor to look for one of his friends before changing your mind. You couldn't leave him alone in the forest in this state. Running out of ideas, you transformed yourself into a wolf before slipping your head under his trembling hands, which worked much better than you'd hoped, Ethan grabbing your fur before closing his eyes. You stayed like that until the fireworks finally stopped and the vampire was breathing more steadily again. He felt a little ridiculous for panicking in front of you and, of course, made you swear not to tell anyone at the manor, but your presence also reassured him greatly.
Neil :
You met him when he came to shelter from the storm in the same cave as you, and to pass the time while you waited for the storm to calm down you had a little chat together. Neil didn't have the slightest doubt that you were a werewolf, between your aura and your smell, it was obvious and you knew just as well that Neil was a vampire. Most of the time, this kind of encounter is complicated; vampires are wary of werewolves because of your warm blood and also your brute strength. Although vampires have powerful psychic powers, you'll always outstrip them in strength. However, you don't need to worry Neil, he knows he's strong enough to take you on in a pinch.
The rain didn't stop and by morning it was clear that Neil was going to have to spend the day sleeping in the cave. So you assured him that he could sleep in safety and that you would wake him if anything hostile came near you. At first, the vampire was a little wary, but it's only been a short time since he left the cellar, so he couldn't resist sleeping.
The rain didn't stop until the following night and when at last there was a lull Neil offered to give you the hotel in town as a thank you for making sure you didn't both get attacked during the day. You chatted all the way to town and didn't really leave until the next day.
You met Neil a second time, a few days later in the same situation. ‘You again, I guess we were made to meet in a damp old cave’ you joked when you saw him. The vampire laughed at your remark and you resumed your discussions as you had last time, though unlike last time, the weather was turning to winter and the temperatures had cooled considerably. During the night, the rain turned into a kind of heavy snow and the temperature dropped again.
You knew that in your wolf form, you could stand the cold much better, but before transforming you suggested to Neil that he come closer to you to take advantage of your fur to keep warm, the vampire initially refused, not wanting to take any risks, after all, he didn't know you well enough to be sure that you wouldn't hurt him. But the temperature continued to drop, and this was not good for his muscles and joints, still weak from the time he'd spent in the cellar, and a stabbing pain reigned throughout his body.
After a few more hesitations, he moved to come against you. Your fur was warm under his fingers as you moved around trying to keep the old vampire warm. He slowly felt his muscles and joints relax with the warmth. It felt good, he'd forgotten how much heat your kind can give off compared to a vampire.
Léandra :
You met by chance when Léandra came to visit her brother at the manor. She was surprised to see a new face but quickly realised that you were a werewolf like Aaron. It immediately piqued her curiosity.
She's as inquisitive as ever, and Léandra can't stop asking you questions or wanting to know what you're doing, where you're from, why you're a lone werewolf or why you've come to live with the boys in the manor. In short, she doesn't give you a moment's peace and she seems to have forgotten all about Aaron, who is her usual target.
You avoid her a little because of this at first, not that you don't like her, but you don't particularly want to reveal your whole life to a stranger, and a succubus at that. Eventually, she calms down a little as she realises you're avoiding her and also thanks to repeated requests from Beliath.
As time goes by, she gets to know you better and you spend more and more time together. Léandra is as inquisitive as ever, but she's much less insistent about getting answers and, above all, she gives you a bit of time to yourself.
She sometimes takes you for walks in the forest, but she mostly insists that you come with her into town, whether to nightclubs or concerts. She doesn't really like walks in the forest, well, she doesn't hate it, but she prefers more festive places.
She also likes to give you challenges, which are usually a bit silly, but it's hard not to join in. She especially likes to challenge you to find her. Thanks to your sense of smell, she knows that the question is not whether you'll find her, but how long it will take you to find her.
It's always the same when you're stalking someone in your wolf form, your human mind gives way to pure instinct. Léandra's scent is easy to follow - succubi have a distinctive scent that is easily detected by other supernatural species. You follow her trail through the forest without the slightest difficulty, you end up finding her every time.
Farah :
It's quite common for a pack to take in a lone werewolf for a while. So, of course, you had no trouble convincing Farah to let you live with them for a while. You simply introduced yourself to the pack and asked if they would accept travellers among them, then settled into the camp as if you'd always been there.
Farah doesn't really ask you about yourself and your past, or why you're travelling alone and where you want to go. She knows that the vast majority of lone werewolves don't easily share information about themselves, so as long as you don't represent any risk to the pack you can stay with them for as long as you like.
What's more, even though you're a lone wolf, you never hesitate to do the pack a favour, and Farah is grateful for all the help you give them, whether it's hunting or keeping the fire burning. What's more, you've quickly become very popular with the pack's children, who are both impressed that you're travelling the world alone and frightened - you must be really strong and powerful if you manage to travel the world alone without being terrified.
In the evenings, you often get together with the pack around the fire to tell stories or play music. It's always quite enjoyable and one of the many advantages of living in a pack.
Farah enjoys going for walks in the forest with you, it's always nice to get to know new people and lone wolves like you always have interesting adventures to tell, she enjoys the discussions she can have with you and your company. She also often goes hunting with you.
It was cold at this time of year and the campfire you had built for the pack couldn't keep you warm, so the vast majority of pack members had chosen to transform into wolves to cope better with the cold. After a final check with Farah to make sure nothing was going to disturb your sleep, you also transformed to take refuge with the others near the fire. Farah came to snuggle up to you, you felt her muzzle press against your fur and you could hear her heartbeat nearby.
Hello, i hope you are fine. Can you write a story where the characters make their engagement request to y/n
The boys propose to MC :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
For as long as he can remember, Vladimir has wanted to get married. He still remembers explaining to his parents, with all the seriousness a child can muster, what his wedding would be like, with the guest list, the food and the music he wanted. He also remembers asking his parents dozens of times about their wedding.
As a teenager, he still thought about it but with a weight on his heart, his understanding of the world had evolved and with it the realisation that nobody really wanted him. And as a young adult, he had written it off. The people he had tried to court had all rejected him and his parents' reassuring words no longer made sense, no one wanted to take the risk of marrying him and potentially having a sick child like him and as he would inherit nothing when his parents died, he really wasn't a good match for marriage.
Ever since he met you, he's found himself believing. You've already talked about it together several times. You've talked about what you'd like to eat, where the ceremony would take place, what you'd wear.
Sometimes Vladimir would start to cry when he realised that his family wouldn't be there. You always managed to console him by promising that everyone in the manor would be there for you on the day.
Lately, he's been thinking about it even more. He finds himself moving on to decorating the manor house for your wedding and thinking about a beautiful spot in the garden for the ceremony.
He just needs to find the courage to ask you to marry him and that's the problem. He knows you'll say yes, but there's always that little voice in his head telling him that you'd never want to marry someone like him, that everything he's been through is wrong and that he'll end up alone again as soon as you realise he's not as wonderful as you think. He chases this horrible idea away every time, but it keeps whispering as soon as he finds himself alone.
He doesn't know how to propose either. He tries out different ways of saying it, but none of them seem perfect enough. He thinks of a nice place to propose in the garden before realising that no place seems perfect enough and sets about reorganising a large part of the garden especially for the occasion.
During this period, you will have to go and look for it regularly in the garden to encourage it to return, as he will even start working there on the nights of the full moons.
Despite her best efforts, the place never seems perfect enough for her, the flowers aren't beautiful enough, the layout doesn't suit her, even though Aaron and Beliath keep telling her every night that you're going to love it, it's not enough for her. It's the same with the ring, of course it's beautiful, but it's not perfect, and yet Raphaël helped her choose it and keeps telling her that everything is going to be fine.
He would like this moment to be one of the most beautiful days of your life. He'd like you to remember his proposal as a fairytale moment. You deserve the best and he feels he'll never be able to give you what you really deserve.
His behaviour is starting to worry you. You know your vampire from the time you've spent with him and you know that he sometimes makes mountains out of molehills, but when you ask Aaron what's wrong he just tells you that he's not allowed to talk about it, Beliath shrugs before saying "It's Vladimir" and Raphael tells you that everything's fine with a conspiratorial smile.
Your concern for him pushes him to go for it. He practises for several days in front of the bathroom mirror to make the most perfect proposal before finally daring to take the plunge. He invites you into the garden on a moonless night, under a pretty rose-covered pergola and lit by little lanterns. You can't miss how anxious he looks that night.
His proposal isn't perfect, he knows that, he stumbles over his words more than he would have liked, he even speaks a little too quickly and he finds it hard to hold your gaze without feeling like his cheeks are burning. When he stops talking, he looks down at the ring he's holding out to you, too stressed to continue looking at you.
He barely hears your "yes" before you kiss him and it takes him a few seconds to realise that you've actually agreed and that he's not dreaming. He responds to your kiss with tears of happiness.
The ring he gave you is of an antique design, as if it came straight from the nineteenth century, it can't have been easy to find one like that in the jewellery shops. It's obviously expensive but discreet, in gold with a small round ruby in the centre, and when you look closely you can see that both your initials are engraved on the inside.
Béliath :
He had never imagined getting married. Marriage doesn't exist among succubi, although there is something that might resemble it, but it's not official and it's frowned upon by the majority of succubi. He only began to be invited to weddings when he started living among humans.
He's always loved being invited to weddings though, it's fun. There are lots of people, good food, good music, it's a great opportunity to celebrate for him. However, Beliath was never interested in the more ceremonial aspect of the wedding. He was really just there to have fun and make new friends.
Since he's been in a couple with you, he's been thinking about it differently. You seem to like the idea of marriage and if it's something you want then so does he.
What's more, it's a good excuse to celebrate and invite people to the manor. The two of you end up talking about it quite a lot together. As a result of hearing you talk about it, he's got a whole Pinterest board full of ideas for decorating, clothes and food that you've said you like. He also asks the other boys what they do at weddings, and was quite surprised that he didn't have to insist when he mentioned his idea of using Vladimir's garden for part of the evening.
Once he was reassured that he could marry you in the manor, he started to think about how to propose. The problem is that he doesn't really know how to go about it, so he often thinks about it and asks Ethan for advice. The doctor isn't much help, though, as he just says, "Just ask! Why are you complicating your life? It's just a marriage proposal, Bel".
Of course, he's partly right, it's only a marriage proposal. But he can't just ask you for it any old way. It has to be organised to a certain extent, you can't expect it, the setting has to be both romantic and chic, and you both have to be dressed to the nines.
This proposal must be engraved in your memory as one of the most beautiful days of your life with him, and you must remember it 100 years from now as a wonderful evening.
He takes Ethan with him on a tour of different restaurants and hotels in and around the city. He needs Ethan's opinion to make his choice; he wants to propose to you somewhere beautiful before enjoying a night alone with you in one of the chicest hotels around.
He also asks the people at Moondance for their advice, and he gets a lot more help there than he does with Ethan. Some give him lists of the best hotels and restaurants, while others advise him on the best places for a honeymoon. When he returns to the manor, he sorts through the suggestions with Raphaël and Vladimir.
You notice a few changes in his behaviour during this period, not enough to worry you, but enough to intrigue you. You know you can't ask Ethan anything about it, because he'll be as mute as a grave, so you tackle Vladimir, who stammers out a few panicked excuses before fleeing the room like a thief. That's enough for you, you know that your partner is up to something and that everyone but you is in on it.
Your curiosity forces him to hurry, so he goes out in the middle of the day with Ethan to buy the ring and spends several hours choosing the one that looks best, under Ethan's weary gaze, who nearly falls asleep several times in the various jewellery shops they visit. Then Beliath books the restaurant and the hotel, having hesitated for a long time over the final choices.
He invites you to a restaurant just a few days later, which doesn't surprise you too much given that Beliath has got into the habit of inviting you to private evenings quite regularly. Your partner's behaviour seems a little stranger than usual, however, as he rarely seems slightly stressed.
He proposes at the end of the meal. If you don't like having all the attention focused on you, he tries to remain discreet, but if you don't mind, he doesn't hesitate to make himself noticed. Beliath talks at length about you and all the reasons why he wants to marry you and spend eternity with you.
When he stops talking he feels a slight tension in his muscles that he hadn't noticed until that moment, and he realises for the first time just how much stress he's under. He looks at you with the impression that you're taking hours to answer, even though he knows that only a few short seconds have passed, and when you finally accept he can't hold back any longer and gets up to kiss you.
The engagement ring he's given you looks very sophisticated, but it's still fine and discreet. It obviously cost a lot of money, is in white gold and is set with several small diamonds.
Ivan :
He had never asked himself if he wanted to get married. As a child, he attended all his parents' friends' weddings and he remembers not enjoying them: everything took too long, he had to wear uncomfortable clothes, be good, not make a fuss, not bother the adults and sometimes there weren't even any children his own age to play with.
It was the same thing when he was a teenager, marriage often rhymed with boredom and a whole day wasted congratulating people he didn't know. He would have preferred to stay at home playing video games or reading or going out to see Constance and Loïc.
Now that you're together, he thinks differently. You've often talked about marriage and you seem to like the idea of marrying him. He can't say he doesn't like the idea either, he even thinks it might be fun. Of course, there wouldn't be any of his family or friends from his previous life, but he would be marrying you and there would be members of the manor to attend.
He discussed it a little with Aaron and Vladimir to get their opinions and above all to make sure that they would be present if he were to get married. Once this was done, he started looking for a nice place to propose. Initially, he'd thought of a restaurant, but he still has trouble eating human food and he still doesn't feel safe enough in a crowd of humans. Aaron has suggested that he propose in the forest and has even pointed out several places he finds charming, but Ivan is hesitant. Sure, the forest is pretty, but it's not personal enough. He wants somewhere that means something to both of you, not just somewhere beautiful.
Finding the place isn't his only problem. He's also looking for the perfect way to propose. He's written dozens and dozens of sentences in a notebook and he had Raphaël and Vladimir read them, but even though the two vampires kept telling him it was perfect, he wasn't satisfied. It's not that perfect isn't good enough - he's not a perfectionist - but he can't help feeling that it's not personal enough.
The closer the moment gets, the more anxious he feels. He knows you'll accept, you've discussed it so many times together, but a small part of him can't help thinking that it's just an idea he has. Constance has lied to him about her feelings for years, of course he knows you're not like her, he knows you really love him, but the event is still traumatic.
You've noticed some change in your partner's behaviour because of this. Ivan seems much more thoughtful and writes things down in a little notebook that he always hides whenever you come into the room. He's also more clingy with you, which doesn't particularly bother you because you know that your partner sometimes needs reassurance that you love him.
Vladimir and Aaron try to look neutral about it, but, listen, their adorable little Ivan is going to propose, of course they're happy. That's what's got you suspicious - you don't know what's going on in the manor, but Vladimir is in a strangely good mood and Raphael often interrupts Aaron mid-sentence when you're there and he's talking about Ivan. However, no matter how hard you try to find out what's going on, Ethan, Beliath and Raphael act as if they don't know anything about it, which is all the more suspicious given that secrets don't normally stay secret for very long in this manor.
When the day finally comes to propose, Ivan is incredibly anxious, but he tries to put on a brave face and look as normal as ever, which fails given that he's already tripped twice walking with you through the forest.
You arrive at your destination after several minutes' walk. It's the big tree you used to climb with Ivan. You climb the tree with him and sit on a branch for a chat. It's a particularly pleasant spot, far too far from the town for humans to approach, and no-one from the manor comes here.
After a moment, Ivan takes a deep breath and pulls his notebook and a small box out of his pocket. At first he tries to read what he's written, but the words don't seem to make sense and he feels like he's being incomprehensible, perhaps because he stumbles over his words a lot and his stress sometimes takes his breath away. Finally he puts his notebook away and closes his eyes before handing you the box. He speaks more slowly this time, he doesn't need the notebook, he needs to tell you clearly how he feels about you without a filter.
When he stops talking, he shyly opens his eyes to look at you. Your smile is a response in itself, and he almost falls out of the tree as you lean in to kiss him.
It's a very simple engagement ring - Ivan didn't go for complexity. The only stone in the ring is a heart-shaped topaz. On the inside of the ring, Ivan had "I love you" engraved.
Aaron :
When he was a child, he liked to attend weddings in his village, which were held quite regularly and were always a great day of celebration. He wasn't really interested in the ceremony itself, preferring to play with the other children and enjoy the festive food that had been prepared. He also liked to explain to his mother what he wanted for his wedding, but when he was a child it mainly consisted of games and lots of party food, especially biscuits, pastries and sweets.
As he got older, he became a little less utopian. First of all, he needed money if he wanted to have a good wedding and be able to provide for his family, which wasn't likely to be the case if he just stayed living in the village. And then, to get married you need a partner and Aaron has never managed to find someone who's perfect for him, of course he's met and had partners but he's never felt the need to get married. In the end, he even gave up on the idea of ever getting married altogether.
Things have changed since you've been a couple. He knows that marriage is something close to your heart, and you've often talked to him about it, whether it's at night when you're lying together amidst sheets and pillows, or during your long walks in the forest when you've spotted a particularly beautiful spot that would be perfect for holding a wedding. The more you talk about it, the more he likes the idea. Sometimes he'll be surprised to notice places in the forest where he could take you to propose or to stop for a moment in front of a jewellery shop to look at engagement rings.
He spoke to Raphaël and Vladimir about it and, of course, his two friends were very enthusiastic about the idea. Vladimir offered to hold the wedding in the garden, and even said he was willing to make changes to make the venue a little more to Aaron's taste. Beliath, Ivan and Ethan found out shortly afterwards. You often walk into a room to see them all stop talking abruptly before looking innocent.
Their behaviour immediately tells you that something was going on in the manor. What's more, Aaron seems more pensive than usual. You've tried to get them to spill the beans, but none of them want to admit it and they all play dumb when you ask them questions.
Aaron already has an idea of where he might propose. There are several particularly beautiful places in the forest that might be suitable, but he's thinking mainly of the lake near the manor. He loves to come and walk there with you, whether it's to stand by the bank and chat or to take a dip on a hot summer's night. It's also far enough away that his flatmates won't bother him there, and he wants to be alone with you when he proposes.
He doesn't have too much trouble with words and already has a good idea of how he wants to propose. Aaron isn't looking for something grand or exceptional, he prefers something much simpler that will be more likely to express his feelings for you frankly.
On the evening of the proposal, you went for a walk in the forest with Aaron as usual. It wasn't yet a full moon and you were walking together, chatting. However, your partner seemed slightly tense, you could tell by the sound of his voice and the tension in his muscles. He kept one of his hands in his pocket and you could tell he was playing with something without really knowing what.
When you reached the edge of the lake, you both stopped for a moment to take in the scenery. The forest was calm, there were a few insects flying around you, pretty fireflies giving the lake a mysterious appearance and the slight reflection of the quarter-moon on the water. Aaron took a deep breath beside you and you immediately turned your head to look at him.
It took him a moment to stop playing with the ring in his pocket and turn to you. In this landscape, he finds you even more magnificent than usual. When he starts to speak, he speaks each word slowly and thoughtfully, repeating his love and desire to spend eternity with you. It's simple, but breathtakingly sincere; he feels like he could talk for hours about the love he feels for you.
When he finally stops talking, his gaze doesn't leave you, he watches every feature of your face, every reaction, he can feel his heart beating faster and faster in his chest and when you finally accept he can't hold back any longer from kissing you.
It's a very simple engagement ring, but it's also very old-fashioned. It feels solid and you wouldn't be afraid to wear it even when working with your hands. There's a small amber stone in the centre, but it doesn't protrude from the ring at all, so there's no risk of it catching on anything. It looks so simple that you're surprised when you see the first words of a love poem written to you by Aaron.
Raphaël :
For as long as he can remember, Raphaël has loved weddings, even as a child he was always happy to go with his parents. He could wear pretty clothes and play with the other children, he was allowed to eat a lot more sweets than usual, his parents' friends complimented him on his beauty and he loved hearing his mother tell him that he looked like a magnificent little prince.
He often told his mother what he wanted for his wedding, pausing at length to talk about the musicians and performers who would liven up the party: there had to be drama, music, games and food galore, and while he was at it he also wanted a show with bears, jugglers and acrobats.
After his parents died, he completely forgot about the idea. It's not that he didn't want to get married any more, but that when your own family is fighting not to get custody of you you seriously start to doubt that anyone will love you. Marriage is all very well, but what's the point if your partner is going to abandon you one day? The story with Margarita didn't help matters and slowly convinced him that everyone disappears one day.
Now that you're a couple, he's starting to feel hopeful again. He likes to hear you talk about marriage and listen to your ideas and wishes on the subject. He writes them down in a notebook so that he doesn't forget them. He thinks it would be nice to marry you. He knows that he has clothes that would be perfect for the occasion and even if nothing suits him, he also knows that Vladimir will agree to give him money to buy a new suit.
He was quick to tell Vladimir and Aaron about his idea, of course, and talks to them every chance he gets. And given that he's the darling of the manor, you can be sure he'll have everything he needs to organise your dream wedding.
He couldn't see himself making his proposal outside the manor, going out seemed too complicated and he knew he would be anxious enough as it was, so Vladimir's garden seemed a perfect alternative. He knows that the area around the little bench is particularly pretty when lit by lanterns.
As for the proposal itself, he doesn't really know what to do. He's usually good with words, but he knows he has a tendency to be a bit too talkative, especially when he gets carried away with his emotions. He could talk about you for hours without getting bored, so he can't see how he could propose without overdoing it. He asks Vladimir and Aaron for advice, of course, but his friends just tell him that if you're in a relationship with him, it's probably because you appreciate his sensitivity.
So he continued to write different marriage proposals, which he then rehearsed to make sure they sounded right.
Sometimes doubt assails him to the point of waking him up suddenly: maybe you don't really love him, he probably doesn't deserve you. He'll end up bringing you bad luck, just as he brought bad luck to Margarita and Alessio. His restlessness always ends up waking you up, and even if you don't understand why he's suddenly so anxious and still refuses to tell you what's going on, you always manage to reassure him. Once he's calmed down and is lying in bed with you, he relaxes again, of course you love him and he's not bad luck. You're both safe.
You suspect that something is going on, it would be quite complicated not to understand it anyway. Ethan elbowed Aaron several times when he was talking about you and Raphael, Vladimir swears he's not hiding anything from you but he stammers as soon as you ask a question about Raphael before fleeing to his room, Beliath and Ivan are playing innocent. You know it's suspicious, you know them well enough now to be certain that their behaviour is hiding something from you.
On the evening of the proposal, Raphaël invited you to take a stroll in the garden. For once, the garden was lit by multiple small lanterns. You sat down together on the garden bench. Raphaël listened to you talk without interrupting, while he tried to summon up the courage to propose, his hand gently caressing yours, the crickets chirping around you soothingly. He took a breath before gently closing his eyes under his blindfold. This was the moment, he clasped the small box containing the ring in his hand before beginning to speak.
His voice was as soft as ever as he concentrated on telling you everything he felt. He felt he had far too much to say and not enough time. In his stress, he clasped your hand in his and wouldn't let go. He would have liked to talk at greater length about everything he loved about you and all the reasons why he wanted to spend eternity with you, but he didn't want to be the only one talking either.
When he stopped talking, all his concentration was on you. He listened to the rhythm of your breathing and paid close attention to your every movement. He waited for your response with great tension and the faint but present fear that you would refuse. When you agreed before kissing him, he felt tears of happiness well up in his eyes.
The engagement ring is expensive and has a complex design, with several twists intertwining around a central diamond stone. It looks quite old, and inside the ring is a line from her favourite love poem.
Ethan :
He wanted to have a partner when he was a kid, but he didn't want to get married. He followed his parents to a lot of weddings and he hated it. You had to sit still, listen to the adults, not stain your clothes, not bother the adults, it was a bore! He wanted to play, have fun and make noise. OK, so maybe he stained the wedding dress of one of his mother's friends at a wedding… maybe two, well, he was considered a disobedient little devil always on the lookout for something new to do, but in his defence, weddings are very boring when you're a kid.
When he was a teenager, he stopped going to weddings and instead went out to have fun with his friends in town. It was much more fun and enjoyable that way and, above all, he wasn't stuck all day with people he didn't know and aunts and uncles wanting to know more about his love affairs. After his transformation, he didn't think about it at all. It was bad enough that he wasn't sure he'd ever have a partner who would love him despite his transformation into a vampire, so a wedding?! All his old friends were dead, all the new friends he made ended up running away from him, he no longer had any family. According to him, he had more chance of running into an alien while shopping than of ever getting married.
His point of view changed when he started to be in a relationship with you. You often spoke to him about marriage and the joy you seemed to feel at the idea was infectious. The more you talked about it with him, the more he found himself considering the idea of marrying you.
Initially, he just wanted to ask you to marry him, nothing grandiose or grandiloquent, just a simple proposal while you were alone together. Beliath stopped him, telling him that he needed something memorable, and so did Raphael and Vladimir, much to his dismay. But that's not how he sees it. He loves you, isn't that enough for a proposal?
He doesn't want to propose to you in a restaurant, it's too cliché and not discreet enough. It's not that he appreciates discretion, but he's not like Beliath and he doesn't want people sharing this moment with you - it's your moment, after all. But no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't find anywhere that suits what he's looking for. The forest is Aaron's place, the garden Vladimir's, the library Raphael's. He doesn't want to propose to you at the Moondance because, once again, he wants to be alone with you.
Meanwhile, you suspect that something is going on, your partner seems a little off every time, as if he's worried about something. At first, you simply asked him if anything was wrong, but Ethan denied it completely. When you asked Beliath if he knew what was worrying Ethan, the half-incubus told you there was no problem at all. You didn't believe him, of course, Beliath lies well, but you've lived with him long enough to know when he's lying.
Weeks went by and he still couldn't find the perfect place for his proposal, but he keeps the ring in his jacket pocket in case a good opportunity arises, and it stays there for a long time before it does.
There was a big funfair in town and, as always, Ethan insisted that you go with him. By the end of the evening, you were tired from the rides and the hours spent browsing the stalls, so you decided to take a ride on the Ferris wheel. The vast majority of people had long since left and the two of you climbed into a large gondola. You leaned back comfortably against Ethan to admire the scenery around you.
At that moment, Ethan realised that this was the moment he'd been waiting for. You were alone in front of a magnificent landscape, the streets of the old town dimly lit below, the music from the funfair barely audible, the sky clear so you could see the stars that dotted it.
Your vampire clutched the little box containing the ring before calling out softly to you. You raised your head to look at him before smiling and kissing him, which reinforced his idea, there was no better moment. He took the box out of his pocket and started talking. He's never been good at being romantic, he knows that, he also knows that he'll never find words strong enough to express clearly how he feels about you. But he knows that if this evening could last forever, he would be the happiest of men. He tells you how he feels about you, how happy he is to spend time with you, how much he wants to see you happy.
When he stops talking, you're still against him, and the love he sees in your eyes makes him blush. You straighten up a little so that you're not leaning all the way against him before kissing him, maybe his eyes are a little wet as he responds to your kiss by pulling you closer to him, but he never thought he'd feel so loved.
It's a fairly simple ring, Ethan didn't go for complexity. It's in white gold, topped with a single sapphire. The stone is very small, but the colour is magnificent and reminds you a little of the colour of Ethan's eyes.
Neil :
Neil had attended many of his father's weddings when he was still a very young child, and he had already understood that love marriages didn't exist among people like him. However, he appreciated this, as he also understood that weddings were above all a manifestation of power and wealth. All his father's weddings dwarfed the weddings of the kingdom's noble families in terms of pomp and money.
The concept of a love marriage always seemed a little strange to him, and he sometimes heard his brothers talk about it without really understanding what he meant by it.
He married many times, never for love, always to consolidate his power. That's not to say he never appreciated the women he married, but he didn't love them romantically; at best, he shared their sense of humour and their desire for power; at worst, they pretended to put up with each other and spent as little time with each other as possible.
Since you've been together, he's found himself thinking about marriage in a different way. You seem to like the idea a lot, even more than that you talk about it often and seem enchanted by the idea of marrying him. He can't deny that the happiness you seem to feel at the idea of marrying him touches him, he would never have thought it would do anything to him, but it does. He loves to hear you talk about marriage as you lie against him on the sofa in the living room. He takes a good long look at you and thinks how beautiful you would look in your wedding clothes.
In the days that follow, he looks for a place to propose to you. He wants the venue to be magnificent, after all, you deserve the best. He immediately thought of a great restaurant, but he can't just book a table in a restaurant, it has to be much better than that. He takes advantage of the times when you don't feel like going out to tour the city's top restaurants.
Once he's found the perfect place, he starts looking for a ring, just like the restaurant, he doesn't want to settle for something simple and it takes him a long time to find what he's looking for, often it doesn't feel grand enough, not unique enough. He wants you to feel like the most precious and important person in his life, so he can't be satisfied with a simple ring, even one from a luxury jeweller.
His behaviour intrigues you, of course; Neil goes out more often than usual and always avoids answering your questions on the subject. It quickly becomes a little game between you, after all, eternity is sometimes long and you have to know how to have fun. You try to spy on him to find out what he's up to while you're away, but it's hard for you to get an answer because your partner goes to such great lengths to keep his secret.
Finally, after several weeks, he invites you to the restaurant and gives you a sumptuous outfit, as usual, Neil's taste in clothes is perfect, the outfit couldn't have suited you better, you spend a moment admiring yourself in the mirror before joining your partner who is also dressed up.
He takes you to the most expensive and chic restaurant in town. You go up to the top floor of the restaurant and when you enter the large room there are just the two of you. The large picture windows give a magnificent view of the city below and the mountains in the distance, the room is lit by subdued light and soft music can be heard. Neil invites you to sit at the only table in the centre of the room. In this setting, you have the impression of being the main character in a great romantic film, and that's not unpleasant - all your vampire's attention is focused on you.
The two of you talk for a long time and you observe your partner sometimes playing with one of his locks of hair. You know that this is a little habit he has when he's feeling stressed and it intrigues you.
Finally, at the end of the meal, he straightens up in his chair to stand even straighter than he already was before taking your hand in his. Neil speaks softly but with a sure voice and you feel lulled by the sound you like so much. He hasn't thought much about what he wants to tell you, which is what's so wonderful about you, he's not playing a chess game, he can be frank and tell you how he feels without being afraid that you'll take advantage of it to hurt him later. He feels free, free to express his love for you and to give you everything you want. Neil talks at length, about the time you've spent together so far, about all the things he'd like to do with you in the future.
When he stops talking, he doesn't let go of your hand. He's never had any doubts about your answer, and when you stand up to kiss him he welcomes you with joy.
The ring is very expensive and it shows. It's in white gold and looks as if it's been tailor-made to fit your finger. You'll never see another like it, because it was made for you and you alone.
Léandra :
Since marriage doesn't really exist among succubi, she has never been interested in it. The only thing that could resemble it is a small ceremony that is not recognised as official by his people.
Léandra has already taken part in human weddings, but she enjoys being invited more, for the hunting and the festive atmosphere that always accompanies weddings. She has never wanted to get married herself, nor has she ever understood what would make a human want to get married.
Since you've been a couple, her opinion has changed on a lot of things. At first, she would never have thought she was capable of falling in love, but it's been the case, she's fallen in love with you, your way of being, everything that makes you the person you are.
You often talk to her about marriage, it's not an idea that would have occurred to her on her own, but she enjoys hearing you talk about it. You seem so happy with the idea and your happiness is contagious. She knows she'd do anything to make you happy and see you smile, so of course if you want a wedding she's ready to go with you without the slightest hesitation.
Léandra has even considered inviting her brother, as she doesn't have many friends among the succubi who could attend her wedding with you, not many friends who would look favourably on it, and she doesn't want to put you in any more danger than you already are by going out with her.
The more time goes by, the more she likes the idea of marriage. Yes, you could get married together. She could see you in your wedding cloth, beautiful as usual. The only problem is that she doesn't really know what a human wedding is like, admittedly she's been to a few, but that was for the party, not the ceremony.
After several weeks of reflection, she finally asked her little brother for advice, and he stammered in surprise for several seconds before asking her if he had understood what she meant. Once she'd got over the shock, Beliath tried to advise her as best he could, but his ideas didn't suit her: a restaurant is nice, but she doesn't particularly like the atmosphere or the idea. She's not very good with words either, and she's not sure she'll be able to tell you clearly how she feels about you - no one has ever taught her to be sentimental, let alone express emotions like love.
She likes the idea of giving you an engagement ring but… Léandra knows that for demons getting married, it's customary to give a dagger, but it's not just any dagger, it has to be enchanted to have the ability to kill a demon. It's a symbol of trust to offer such a weapon to your partner, but she hesitates, as it's not very common among succubi and she's afraid you'll find it aggressive in some way. It's a far cry from the customary human engagement ring. But you love her, you're not afraid of her and who she is, so maybe you wouldn't mind after all?
You soon notice that your partner is not in her normal state, although you can't say exactly why. Léandra's head often seems to be elsewhere and she sighs more often than not, as if something were preoccupying her mind. It's a far cry from her usual good humour and it worries you a little. You know that not all succubi take a very positive view of your partner's relationship with you, but Léandra reassures you that you're both in no danger. She's worried about something else, but despite your questions you can't work out what it is.
Time goes by and she still doesn't know how to propose. There's always her brother's idea of inviting you to a restaurant, but try as she might, it doesn't suit her. She's already not very good with emotions, let alone in a crowd of people, and she needs to be alone with you to tell you how she feels.
Her hesitation leads her to wait a little longer, until one night. You are alone with her in a large hotel room, lying on the bed with your back against Léandra while her wings cover you both as if in a cocoon. Her thoughts wander as she smells your scent against her and watches you wrap a lock of her hair around your fingers. She realises she's never felt so soothed, having you against her has made her feel good in a way she's never felt before.
Léandra doesn't really know where to start - talking about love has never been one of her skills. She hesitates over words and phrasing, far from her usual self-assurance. There's so much she wants to tell you, but doesn't know how.
But she talks to you about how she feels, about the moments of happiness she shares with you and how she wants them to go on forever, her voice has emotions you've never heard from her before, her eyes look at you with love.
When she falls silent and awaits your response, you gently turn to face her before kissing her, her arms closing around you more firmly as her wings flutter slightly.
The dagger she offers you is magnificent and undoubtedly required a great deal of work on the part of its creator. The blade is a bewitching deep black, engraved in a demonic language, and the pommel and the cross-guard are encrusted with precious stone. It looks as fearsome as it is magnificent.
Farah :
Farah grew up in a small village in the countryside, and weddings were always big celebrations where the whole village got together to celebrate the event, sometimes even strangers passing through were invited to join in. When she was a child, she used to enjoy these events immensely, playing with the other children, running among the guests and tables, eating until she couldn't swallow anything. It was also a chance to put on her best clothes.
She never forgot the happiness she felt at these events, even after she and her brother had run away from her father. They were still sometimes invited to weddings where they didn't know anyone but where people wanted to share their happiness. After being transformed into a werewolf it became more complicated, although, but the pack evolved, she attended fewer weddings, isn't very common among werewolves, but there were some organised all the same. Most of the time, these took place deep in the forest, to make sure they were not disturbed by humans. Those who knew how to play music brightened up the forest with their songs, and the party lasted until the early hours of the morning.
Since you've been in a relationship, she's already thought about proposing to you many times, even more so since you told her what you'd like for a wedding. She briefly discussed it with the other members of the pack and of course everyone was very enthusiastic about the idea, so encouraged by them, she decided to go for it.
However, she doesn't really know how to propose. She imagines something quite romantic, a proposal in a beautiful landscape, telling you how much she feels for you and how happy she is to share her life with you. Words aren't always her forte though, she knows she tends to be a bit too direct, she wants you to feel like you're someone special on that day, because you are to her. She'll go round the forest looking for a romantic place to propose to you, and then she'll head into town to go round the jewellery shops looking for an engagement ring that suits you.
You've noticed some changes in Farah's behaviour and in the behaviour of the pack. Your partner often seems to have her head in the clouds, she sometimes goes off without telling you where she's going, she whispers things to the other members of the pack before looking at you innocently when you ask her what they're talking about. And that's not all, Willie sometimes looks at you both and smiles, and for an old grump like him that's pretty unusual. Hellébores comes out of her usual shyness to silence Mathéo and you've already seen Ashlynn and your doctor signal the child to be quiet several times. In fact, everyone seems to know something you don't, and that only makes you more curious.
On the night of the proposal, you followed Farah through the forest for a while before arriving at a large flower-covered clearing, the quarter-moon overhead lighting up the place with a fairy-like appearance, you spent a brief moment observing the place before seeing Farah turn towards you holding a small box firmly against her. Gently, she takes one of your hands in hers before taking a breath.
There are lots of things she'd like to say to you, the responsibilities of the pack seem lighter to her now that you're there to help her, she never tires of waking up next to you, your breathing when you sleep next to her soothes her and gives her a feeling of security she hasn't felt for a long time. Every day, she has the impression that she loves you a little more than the day before; your facial expressions, the way you speak and your smiles flood her with a happiness she never thought possible. Spending eternity with you has become a matter of course, because she can no longer imagine the world without your presence by her side.
When she falls silent to let you answer, she knows there's still a lot she'd like to tell you. Her heart is pounding in her chest, but she can't take her eyes off you for even a second. And when you lean in to kiss her, she closes her arms around you to pull you closer. Farah feels as if she could spend eternity in this position.
The ring has a very simple look, you can wear it for any occasion and she's even bought you a little necklace to go with it if you prefer to wear it around your neck, which can sometimes come in handy when you have to work with your hands, so you don't lose it or snag it while you're working. It's adorned with a tiny orange topaz that reminds you of the colour of the sky when the sun goes down.
Heyy!, could you make a headcanon where they’re in the early 80’s and mc is in a glam metal band? (I would love it if u put it like if she was the only female in a really famous band) and she was a bassist or sum like that LQKS, idk
Use Motley Crue as a reference if you can, I really love that band! (It would be interesting if you included the whole world of what was going on in those years in that exact music scene!)
MC is part of a glam metal band :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
Of course, when he first met you, he was a bit scared. He'd never seen people dressed like you. It has to be said that he doesn't go out very often and that he doesn't listen to many different kinds of music.
He recognises that you play metal, because he often hears it because of Ivan and Ethan, but he can't be more specific than that, he even tends to confuse it with rock, so recognising glam metal among all the sub-genres of metal is impossible for him.
Between the make-up and the clothes you couldn't have been more different from him, but once he's reassured by his housemates he stops looking at you as if you're going to murder him at any moment.
He doesn't really like the themes of your music. Vladimir really doesn't like to hear about things like sex, violence or gore, and metal is a musical genre that makes him uncomfortable. What's more, he grimaces as soon as you have to train for your next concert, but he'll let you train even if he pouts.
The few times the paparazzi manage to get a shot of him the fans really wonder what he's doing with your band. He looks completely out of place and has either a terrified or angry face in every photo.
He will agree (really only to please you) to come with you to a concert if you promise him that he can stay in the dressing room, away from the people who are screaming and dancing. When he comes, he at least wants to be sure that he won't be trampled underfoot during your concert.
Béliath :
He's very curious the first time he meets you, he has a fairly basic idea of metal and he's never seen a glam metal band. Metal isn't a musical genre he normally listens to anyway, he knows a bit about it, thanks to Ethan and Ivan, but not enough to know exactly the differences between the sub-genres that exist.
In fact, he's much more interested in your style of dress and make-up than your music. He's willing to help you with your make-up if you ask him to.
He sometimes listens to your music. It's not his favourite kind of metal, but that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it.
He loves to accompany you when you go out to rehearse your next concert with your band. You've got to admit that he's in stark contrast to your style of dress, with his immaculate white clothes. What's more, he can't deny that he loves the reaction of the tabloids and fans when you arrive with him. He's very amused by the numerous articles trying to find out if he's your boyfriend.
He enthusiastically agreed to come to your concerts (it would be surprising if he didn't ask you himself). He remains in the audience during all the concerts, but joins you during the breaks at the end.
Ivan :
He can't deny that he's extremely happy to meet you. He knows glam metal of course, it's not his favourite genre, but it's metal so he still listens to it quite regularly, especially because the genre was very fashionable in the early 80s and he's really keen to keep up to date with new sub-genres of metal. So he hasn't missed your band's meteoric rise on the world stage.
He really loves the way you dress. He thinks you look really cool like that and even tries to do make-up similar to yours when he's in the bathroom (before taking it all off for fear of Ethan laughing at him).
He listens to your music a lot and he can't deny that he loves it. Especially as you have your own "noisy" musical instrument, according to Vladimir, which gives him all the more reason to ask the aristocrat to let him buy an electric guitar. In the end, you end up offering him one, out of pity for poor Ivan and perhaps a little to annoy Vladimir. (Ivan can't remember ever having been as happy as he was that day).
He really enjoys accompanying you to rehearsals. But, not so much the tabloids. He feels a bit shy seeing so many people talking about you and your band and making assumptions about your relationship or criticising his relationship with you.
He accompanies you to all your concerts and is very enthusiastic. The first few times, he does his best to stay away from the crowd, for fear of ruining your concert by causing an incident, but once he feels more confident he's always at the front of the stage to get a better look at you.
Aaron :
He doesn't listen to much metal in general, but he knows what it is because Ivan and Ethan often talk to him about it and he often has to deal with conflicts between them and Raphaël and Vladimir because of it, but he doesn't really understand what glam metal is supposed to be. For him it's white bonnets and bonnets white.
He's a bit more worried about scandals breaking out around you. You see, he has to protect his housemates and he wouldn't want a party at the manor to get out of hand and endanger the others. He also doesn't want paparazzi or fans coming to the mansion.
He often accompanies you to rehearsals before concerts or recordings. However, he's pretty much ignored by the tabloids and your fans, who hardly notice him. In fact, Aaron passes for one of your bodyguards… which he is a bit too, as you've noticed that fans and paparazzi are a bit less intrusive in Aaron's presence.
He tries to accompany you to your concerts as often as possible, but he's not really a fan of agitation, especially around full moon nights when he's in a much more irascible mood.
Raphaël :
He may not like metal, but he's rather curious because he's never met anyone who was in a metal band. He doesn't know the difference between the different sub-genres of metal, for him it's all the same thing, lots of noise and screaming. So he doesn't really know what you mean by glam metal, but he does know a lot about music, so if you explain the differences he'll easily understand.
As long as you're not playing in the same room as him and he can wear his earplugs to muffle the noise, he won't mind.
Scandals really frighten him. He understands this lifestyle, he had a similar one when he was a painter and when he lived with Margarita and Alessio. Now, however, he's afraid of being noticed and losing someone he loves again because of it. So he often tells you to be careful and look after yourself.
He will accompany you to your concerts if you ask him to. Otherwise, he'll prefer to wait until you get back to the manor. He will soon feel uncomfortable in the midst of crowds and noise, and if he comes with you, he will stay in the dressing room and wait for you while reading a book.
Ethan :
He really wishes he didn't look like a fanboy… but he looks as much like one as Ivan does. Like Ivan, he loves metal and follows new bands to keep up to date. So he knows your band well, because he's been following it since its inception, but he never expected to actually meet you. You're his favourite band.
He knows your music, in fact he often listens to it in the manor, turning the music up whenever he's angry with Vladimir. He doesn't listen just to make Vladimir scream, of course, but that's the cherry on the cake. He listens to good music and Vladimir gets angry at lyrics he deems indecent.
Scandals don't scare him, he's already been in some of the city's most infamous places, so he knows the atmosphere that surrounds you all the time. His only concern is your safety.
He often parties with the members of your band after a gig and… he's so not afraid of scandals that he's been the cause of a few. You'd better keep a close eye on him, because he loves a good night of drinking, but he's much better at holding his alcool than a human.
He accompanies you to band rehearsals and recordings. He's a bit annoyed by the mass of celebrity journalists talking about your relationship with him, and you've already had to stop him getting into a fight with a paparazzi (this scandal clearly wouldn't have helped glam metal's image). Despite his bad temper, Ethan gets on quite well with the members of your band.
He accompanies you to all your concerts. More often than not, he stays with the audience because he enjoys seeing you on stage and being part of the crowd. He believes that you can't really enjoy a concert if you stand behind the stage waiting for you. He knows that you choreograph everything down to the minute to give your audience an eyeful, you make the drums and their drummer rise above the audience, the lights and special effects you use would make Hollywood films green with envy, nothing is too good for your concerts.
Neil :
He knows metal, a little bit, let's say he knows that this musical genre exists, but he doesn't know glam metal at all, and he doesn't see what could differentiate it from the other sub-genres of metal, except perhaps your clothes and make-up.
Famous music groups remind him a little of royalty. There's an army of people watching your every move and criticising whatever you do, there's always someone to tell you that you're wrong or that you shouldn't have done it.
Since Neil has been living with you, you've noticed that there's no longer any big scandal about your group. Well, there are still a few scandals, but nothing that will make you look like a bunch of dangerous criminals thirsting for money and blood. That's because, while Neil sees the peoples' journalists, they don't see Neil and he doesn't hesitate to use his vampire powers to keep them away if need be.
He'll accompany you to your gigs if you like, but he'll stay in the dressing room or well away from the crowd. Hustle and bustle isn't really his cup of tea, and he doesn't appreciate metal enough to get into crowds.
Léandra :
She knows a thing or two about metal and glam metal, a genre that enjoyed great popularity in the '80s, so she couldn't afford to miss out. She also knows your band pretty well, you're famous and she's already come to hunt among your fans at certain concerts.
She follows you to all your recordings and rehearsals, and gets noticed by celebrity journalists and fans at every turn. Admittedly, she has fun changing her appearance at every appearance, which only fuels the journalists' curiosity about your supposedly debauched life.
The members of your group adore her, even if they don't really understand how she manages to change her appearance. She's a big party girl who loves scandals, so when there's one you're almost always sure she's connected to it in some way.
She accompanies you to all your concerts without the slightest hesitation. She loves the atmosphere and the crowd every time, and it's sometimes hard to convince her to go home once the concert's over. Are you sure you don't want to play one more song? Not even for her? Sometimes, quite rarely, she waits for you in the dressing room.
Farah :
It's not unusual to have musicians/singers in the pack. After all, Willie is a former jazz singer. Metal isn't one of her favorite kinds of music, but she won't complain. You're entitled to like whatever you like, she says, and it seems to please the pack. However, she doesn't know glam metal or how it differs from other metal sub-genres.
She's really intrigued by your style of dress, especially on stage. She can't understand how you can feel comfortable in this kind of clothing, between the heels, the extremely short shorts, the fishnet stockings and especially the leather, she doesn't feel it's very practical to move around in. Admittedly, since you've met her, you've seen her wearing nothing but jogging suits and t-shirts.
She sometimes accompanies you to some of your rehearsals or recordings. People are a bit lost when it comes to this woman; they may know she exists, but it's impossible to find any information about her and her life.
She avoids scandal like the plague, because she doesn't want anything to happen to her pack.
The pack follows you to all your concert venues. Of course, they don't have a fixed home, so they don't mind following your rhythm. Once Farah has finished setting up the pack, she joins you at your concert venue, most often you'll find her in the dressing room at the end, but she sometimes has fun sneaking into the audience to see you on stage.
Here's Beliath's part for the headcanon: the boys meet MC's family.
I hope you enjoy it, the next one should normally be on Ivan. ^^
Have a good day and take care of yourself! ^^
-----
He couldn't be less stressed. Seriously, nothing could be worse than your encounter with his mother, who tried to kill you both, as well as his sister and everyone in the manor. That meet with your parents? That's nothing, after all, they're certainly not going to try and kill you both in a demonic ritual to gain power. So, Beliath simply observes the landscape through the car window while you're driving, he's in a great mood and chats to you about anything he can think of. Ethan has ordered you not to give him the wheel under any circumstances, and from the look on the doctor's face, it didn't occur to you to disobey him. But the closer you get, the more questions Beliath asks.
"Where were you going for fun? It looks like a small town.
-There's a park in the centre of town where we used to meet up for a chat after classes.
-I see. There wasn't much to do…
-There's a shopping centre nearby and a café.
-Sounds boring… Isn't there a nightclub?
-I didn't go to nightclubs when I was underage and no, there aren't any… the only nightclub is the Moondance.
-Pff, I think I'd die of boredom… Well, it's nothing against you or your town, it's just that there's not enough activity for me…
-We used to get together a lot at the clothes shop too and at the beach in the summer.
-That's not going to convince me that it wasn't supposed to be boring," replies your vampire with a pout. What are we going to eat?
-I don't know.
-Do your parents know how to cook?
-Yes, they can. They can cook.
-Good, or can they just cook pasta?
-They can cook better than Vladimir and Ethan, if that's what you're worried about.
-It's no great feat, even with one hand tied behind my back and a blindfold on, I could cook better than them.
-I know, I know, Beliath," you smile, patting his thigh, "you're an excellent cook, no one can do as well as you. Are you happy or do you want more compliments?
-Keep saying what an exceptional person I am, your compliments warm my heart."
You laugh softly before starting to list all the compliments you can think of, which seems to be enough for Beliath, who grabs your hand to kiss it.
"You mustn't get home too late, my skin looks terrible if I don't get my ten hours' sleep.
-Your skin is always beautiful, my darling. And in the worst case, we'll be sleeping at my parents' house.
-Could I see your room at your parents'?
-I'll see… if you're nice during dinner.
-Hey! I'm always nice! You've never met a nicer vampire than me! I'm the best!
-Okay, if you want," you answer, laughing. You're the best, but I won't show you my teenage bedroom unless you're nice.
-I'm sure there are star posters all over the walls, just like in the films, and maybe some stuffed animals too, and a chair that used to be your wardrobe.
-You're well-informed, aren't you…" you say, giving him a quick glance.
-It's because of all the teen series I've watched.
-I'm sorry to tell you that teenagers in TV series generally have a much more eventful life than ours…
-Rah, boring! You're not sneaking out? Parties till the sun comes up? Chaotic proms with whirlwind romances? Urbex? I've heard it's all the rage at the moment, with lots of young people doing it at Moondance!
-Well, you can do those things, but they rarely end up with vampires, dead people or werewolves hiding in the dark corners… "
There was a short silence before you felt Beliath lean towards you, a brief glance towards him and his mischievous smile made you sigh.
"It wasn't because of Urbex outing that you fell into the mansion?
-What do you want, Beliath, my life is worthy of a teen series," you joke.
-It's a bit like that series," continues your partner, "you know with the girl at highschool who falls in love with a vampire who has a brother… what's that series called again?
-That's far too vague a description for me to give you an answer, Beliath.
-Yes, they go to school and fight other vampires.
-That's what I'm saying, it's just too vague for me.
-Maybe… I'll ask Ivan when we get home. I'm sure he knows.
-Try to find out more information about it, even Ivan won't be able to answer you otherwise.
-She's got one friend who's a witch, and the other's a blonde. Rah, I can't remember. The mayor, his son was a werewolf and there were deaths all the time."
You smiled as Beliath continued to give you information about his series, each one as vague as the next. This kept him busy for the rest of the journey, because even when he'd parked outside your parents' house he still couldn't remember the name of the series, but he'd told you about at least the first two seasons.
"It's all right, Beliath, we'll ask Ivan when we get back. We've only just arrived."
Your vampire leaned back in his seat to observe the house before exclaiming.
"MC! There are garden gnomes! It's a real series house!
-Well, not everyone considers garden gnomes a threat to their flowers."
The jab at Vladimir, who wasn't there to defend himself, made your partner laugh. You parked just outside the house before getting out of the car. Once he was beside you, he slipped his hand around your waist before kissing your temple, then your cheek, then the corner of your lips. You laughed before gently pushing him away.
"Beliath, concentrate a little, my darling.
-I won't be able to kiss you as much once we're at the table, let me refuel first, I'll be very nice afterwards I promise!"
You rolled your eyes in amusement at his pleas before taking his face in your hands to kiss him back. Even if Beliath didn't tell you, you could see that he was much more clingy and tactile with you since his mother attacked you.
"Happy?" you asked after you'd moved away.
-Mh… can I have one more to be sure?" asked Beliath with a smile. I haven't had time to think about it too much… "
You gave in to kiss him again and felt his arms close around your waist to pull you closer.
"MC, bunny, you're not going off to war, there's no need to kiss each other like that."
You sighed as you waited for the voice of one of your parents before letting your head fall back against your partner's neck, just above you you could hear Beliath laughing softly.
Your parents were waiting for you on the doorstep, and on seeing them Beliath immediately began his charm routine, which couldn't have worked any better. He was charming, the ideal son-in-law, polite, funny, helpful, and above all, his loving gaze and gestures of affection never ceased towards you.
"You make a lovely little couple," exclaimed one of your parents. It reminds me of my youth and our first family meal. Do you remember that too?
-Oh yes, a nightmare," your parent winced at the memory, "I ran over your grandmother's rosebushes when I parked. She sulked for the rest of the evening and chased me away before dessert.
-That's not going to happen to me, I'm not allowed to touch the car," joked Beliath.
-Aren't you driving?
-Ethan lent us his car to come here," you explained, "and I've been instructed not to let that dear boy touch it.
-I drove his car into the ditch once, and he's never forgiven me.
-Oh! You weren't hurt?!
-No, the car, on the other hand," joked your vampire before laughing."
You continued chatting in the entrance hall. Then your parents invited you into the living room, where you settled down for an aperitif. Beliath was next to you on the sofa, while your parents sat in the armchairs. Throughout the aperitif, your vampire led the discussion with ease, seeming totally in his element and occasionally stopping briefly to kiss your hand or cheek before answering a new question from your parents, who were totally under your boyfriend's spell.
"What about your parents? What do they do for a living?
-My father died before I was born and my mother, well…"
Beliath smiled mischievously and, sensing the nonsense coming, you cut your partner off before he could start talking nonsense.
"She's dead too.
-Oh," exclaimed your parent, "that can't be easy, you've been alone for a long time?
-Only a few months, Beliath laughed and you frowned, hoping to persuade him to keep quiet."
At least her laughter could always pass for stress or embarrassment, which it really could be, you know that your partner often sweeps problems under the carpet by joking about them.
"And you have no other family," worries one of your parents.
-I have an older sister. We get on very well.
-It can't be easy every day. You're young.
-Oh, it doesn't matter. I've got MC so it's all good."
You were saved from further questioning by the ringing of the oven bell as your parents got up to prepare the main course in the kitchen and put the aperitif away. You took advantage of this moment to turn back to Beliath.
"Don't tell me you were going to talk about the fight between us and your mother?
-It was a joke to see how he would react.
-A human probably wouldn't find it very funny. I think my parents would freak out if you told them your own mother tried to kill you in a demonic ritual."
Beliath shrugged with an amused look before leaning in to kiss your cheek.
"Don't tell them that, all right.
-Right… sorry, darling, I didn't mean to upset you," replied Beliath with a smile that he wanted to be contrite but was far too amused.
-I'm not upset. I was just afraid of what you were going to say.
-I won't say it… even if it's the truth.
-A truth my parents aren't ready to hear.
-And yet, you don't think they'd be proud to have a child who dared to fight a powerful succubus to save partner.
-I'll fight all the succubi you want, my love, but you must never tell my parents. I don't think they'd be thrilled to hear the news.
-Not thrilled? When their child has the courage to slay a demon to save frail partner? smiles Beliath before kissing you.
-My frail partner, who also happens to be half-demon and half-vampire.
-And who raves every day about the power and courage of the person he loves.
-You don't have to charm me, my darling, I've been charmed for a long time.
-I have to tell you how exceptional you are! I could compliment you for hours and never get tired of it."
You smiled in amusement at your vampire, before kissing him, Beliath responded to your kiss with passion before being interrupted by a call from one of your parents in the dining room. You got up to join them and the discussion continued in a pleasant manner as the dishes were served. Beliath was tasting every dish and singing the praises of your parents' cooking. You could tell by the look on their faces that they were flattered, and also that your parents had outdone themselves in the kitchen in terms of the quantity and quality of the food.
"Do you cook?" one of your parents finally asked.
-Yes, I do. I do most of the cooking with Raphaël.
-Béliath is very talented in the kitchen and it's always a pleasure to eat what he's prepared for us," you added.
-Don't the others cook?"
You exchanged a glance with Beliath before sighing at the same time.
"He could probably cook, but that would be risking setting fire to the manor," you reply.
-Aaron and Ivan still manage well.
-Yes, they can make pasta, that's something… but Vladimir and Ethan.
-Well, I don't mind cooking with Vladimir, but I don't want Ethan in my kitchen. I like him a lot, but I sincerely think he confuses cooking with scientific experimentation… sighed Beliath.
-It can't be as bad as all that, try one of your parents.
-Vladimir nearly blew up the microwave… three times."
Your parents were silent for a moment before looking at each other and back at you, obviously expecting a joke, but you said nothing more and after a moment one of your parents exclaimed.
"And I thought I wasn't very good in the kitchen…
-They're making an effort, though," you tried to temper. Vladimir managed to make sandwiches last time."
The discussion turned to the cooking skills of each of your housemates, you didn't hesitate to criticise Vladimir and Ethan's cooking and your parents seemed quite curious. This went on for a long time before the discussion turned to other subjects.
"MC didn't tell us what you do for a living?
-What do you mean?
-What's your job?" rephrased one of your parents.
-I'm a barman," smiled Beliath after giving you a smile, he was proud to have remembered the lie you had planned for this situation.
-Barman!
-Yes, it's a rather amusing job, I talk to people all night long, they tell me their gossip, I know everything that's going on in the city without even needing to watch the news or open a newspaper, the music's pretty good and on top of that I know how to make excellent cocktails!
-Oh, we'll leave that to you next time. I'd love to try a cocktail made by a professional."
The discussion continued for a long time as your parents began to tell you about the parties and outings they used to go to when they were young, you winced at some of the information you would have preferred never to know, but it didn't faze Beliath at all as he also recounted some of the evenings he had spent at the manor, sometimes stopping for a brief moment to stroke your hand or your back, as if not being in contact with you seemed unimaginable to him. Talk of your parties at the manor slowly led to talk of your flat-sharing.
"I understand you live in a shared house," one of your parents asks. Who owns the house?
-Vladimir owns it.
-That's not a very safe way to live," worried one of your parents. Aren't you afraid you'll have to move from one day to the next?
-Not a chance with Vladimir," you immediately reassured your parents. No matter how much he complains about us being there, he can't stand to be alone and he needs us for a lot of things.
-I confirm. We only let him go shopping once with Aaron, and he didn't come home all day. We had to go and look for him. He'd got lost in an IKEA and couldn't find the way out."
Your parents remained silent for several seconds looking at you before you sighed.
"The worst thing is, I'm not even surprised.
-The worst thing is that he doesn't assume it. He told us he wanted to redecorate and that he hadn't seen the time, while we found him sitting on a sofa like a kitten abandoned in a cardboard box.
-Your flat-share looks… rather hectic," said one of your parents after glancing at your other parent. You must not be bored.
-Everything's fine most of the time," reassured Beliath with a smile, "it's just that we're rather…
-Original? you offered.
-Exactly."
Your parents looked a little worried but Beliath resumed the discussion as if nothing had happened and after a few minutes they seemed to have completely forgotten their worries. They finally got up to fetch the desserts from the kitchen, and your vampire took advantage of the moment to turn towards you, dropping his head on your shoulder and mumbling.
"Oh MC, I'm exhausted. It's been years since I seriously socialized with humans without using my vampire powers. Tell me it's almost over?
-There's still dessert and coffee, darling.
-I can't… well… maybe if you kiss me…
-Béliath
-A little one? I feel faint."
You sighed, as amused by his behaviour as by his complaints, and then kissed him. You felt your partner smile under the kiss and you parted just before your parents returned to serve dessert. The discussion then resumed about the flat-sharing.
"But now that I think about it, it must be tiring being a barman, isn't there too much noise for you during the day? It can't be easy to rest after a night's work.
-Vladimir and Raphaël are very sensitive to noise so we're careful, you explain, and Béliath is a very heavy sleeper. He wouldn't wake up even if the roof fell in on his head.
-It's because I'm helping Aaron to look after everyone. Once I've decided to sleep, there's nothing to wake me up for.
-It must be nice to be able to sleep like this," says one of your parents. Me, the slightest noise wakes me up.
-Pleasant, it depends for whom," you reply. It's rather difficult to wake him up. I have to shake him.
-All you have to do is try to make like Sleeping Beauty, maybe I'll wake up with a loving kiss.
-I can imagine, Sleeping Beauty is fine with me as long as I'm not forced to fight a dragon with my bare hands.
-And a werewolf?"
Your parents looked at you strangely as you burst out laughing, then you shook your head.
"Leave poor Aaron out of it, darling. The others give him enough of a hard time as it is."
The discussion returned to poor Aaron and his workload, about which your parents were a little worried. At one point, without you knowing when, Beliath moved his chair closer to yours so that you were shoulder to shoulder. Sometimes he would lean over and kiss your cheek or whisper something in your ear. Finally, you accompanied one of your parents to the kitchen while Béliath was monopolised by the discussion with the other. Kidnapping would be a more accurate word, given that he couldn't leave the discussion to come and help you.
"He looks charming," smiled your parent as you were left alone. I've rarely seen such a smiling young man.
-Beliath is a very sunny person," you replied. He's almost never in a bad mood and he knows how to put a smile on other people's faces.
-I'm glad to hear that. I was a bit scared at first when you told us you'd found love. We imagined the worst, and what an idea it was to go out doing urbex, you could have hurt yourself or even worse.
You heard Beliath stifle a laugh in the dining room and sighed.
"I'm fine. I've already told you. I met Beliath in this manor and we both fell under each other's spell. Nothing more serious happened.
-All the same. I don't mind. You look healthy, but we didn't hear from you for several months, we were worried sick.
-I know, I'm sorry, but you see everything's fine now.
-You can't imagine how worried we were. I never thought I'd see you again."
You continued to reassure your relative before returning to the dining room. As soon as seated, Beliath kissed your hand again before smiling mischievously, you didn't need to be inside his head to know that he had heard the whole discussion, your gaze didn't convince him to keep quiet and before he could say anything you kissed him, silencing your partner immediately. Meanwhile, the coffees were served and Beliath took his and resumed the conversation.
After the coffee, the discussion went on for a long time, Beliath and you were both getting tired and all you wanted to do was go back to the manor and get some rest. Unfortunately, your parents didn't think so and continued talking without giving you a chance to make them understand that it was time for you to go home.
Finally, after yet another pointless discussion about the weather and the seasons, you managed to tell them that it was time for you to go home and get some rest. Your parents followed you into the hallway, continuing to chat, and finally, after promising them several times that you'd see them again soon, you got in the car to leave.
Once on the road, Beliath let his head rest against the window before sighing.
"I'm not going to Moondance tomorrow. We're taking Ethan's portable DVD player and having a movie and spa night."
You nodded without taking your eyes off the road. You arrived well after midnight and decided to go up to your room after briefly telling Vladimir and Raphaël about your evening. After changing into more comfortable clothes, Beliath dropped onto the bed, and you came over to lean against his shoulder.
"We won't have had time to visit my teenage bedroom," you whispered before kissing him. You're not too disappointed?
-We're going back there anyway.
-There's no doubt about it, my parents adore you.
-Everyone adores me, I'm an exceptional person and I have a partner who's just as exceptional as I am. Am I not the luckiest vampire on the planet?
-You're very lucky indeed," you laugh. I must be too, to have you in my life."
hiii! I was wondering if you could write about the boys with a reader that's really into tabletop rpg games? like d&d, cthulhu, ordem paranormal, etc. which of them would be down to play, who'd try to be a game master, which characters they'd enjoy playing
MC is a rpg games player :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
Vladimir had never heard of this type of game before you told him about it. Well, Ivan and Ethan had talked about it before, but he'd never really listened. He regrets this a little because he would have liked to have been able to follow the discussion with you.
He's a bit surprised when you tell him that some people think that JDR makes you violent or Satanist. It's literally an interactive story, he would have loved to have been able to play this kind of thing when he was alive, even if he would have been looking for love stories, the idea of reading/playing a story that could enable him to win the heart of a character seems really fun to him (you'll have to tell him about otome games).
Vladimir has no idea how to create a character. There are so many things to choose from and set up, and he often gets the characteristics mixed up. So he always asks for your help to create his character and his characteristics.
He'll bombard you with questions during the first few games, especially about the rules of the game, which he sometimes finds very hard to understand. What does it mean that he has 1 HP left? What do you mean, he can use his HP to cast a spell because he has no MP left? What do you mean he doesn't have enough Strength points? What is a critical failure? Why can't he discuss the situation with Aaron next to him? All right, Aaron in the game is in another room, but he can have a chat with him as he's next to him! What's an NPC? It can't be a non-playable character because the GM is playing it! MC please find a language he understands and don't get upset, he's really trying to play with you and understand what's going on.
His character's alignment is always the same, he's a loyal good. He never changes alignment and is incapable of playing a evil or even worse a chaotic character. He often plays a sort of prince or aristocrat, (this at least helps to explain the fact that his character is almost completely incapable of fending for himself), he's not very strong, nor very good at fighting, but he always has plenty of money on him and points of charisma or authority, at least enough to get out of difficult situations without constantly having to call his housemates for help (although this happens quite often).
He doesn't know the rules well enough to be the GM and he only plays the RPG if you play it, whether you play as the GM or as a character. When he plays, his character always gets on pretty well with Raphaël's or Aaron's character.
Béliath :
He's already heard of this kind of game, either at Moondance or from Ethan and Ivan. He's not really interested in it though, but that changes when you talk to him about it. He likes to be interested in what you like, so of course when you told him you often play RPGs, he wanted to know exactly what they were and how they were played. However, there are so many different RPGs out there and so many different ways of playing, he feels a bit lost. What do you mean there's even a RPG where you're cats?
He really enjoys pairing up his character with yours at the start of the game, or winning your character's heart before the end of the game. If that's not possible… he'll fall back on Ethan, Vladimir, Raphaël, Aaron or Ivan, listen his character has to end up in a relationship with someone even an NPC would suit him. Sure, it's an adventure game, but who says you can't hit on people while saving the world? Raphaël always agrees to put his character in a relationship with hers, the only problem is that they always end up having arguments in the middle of battles.
Unlike Vladimir, he often changes the alignment of his characters, although he has a preference for the chaotic good, which he finds much easier to play than the Loyal good (he also doesn't understand what's so funny about this character, why do you want to respect the law so much? It's boring!)
Béliath is always creating vampires (yes, even a vampire cat if he has to, he has to be a vampire), as cliché as possible. He can't help it, it makes him laugh. He loves the irony of being a vampire playing a vampire.
He's a pretty good actor, so he really loves playing his character, talking to him about live action role-playing games, and he'll insist on playing one as soon as possible.
He's not a very good GM and he's not very interested in taking on the role. He gets bored quickly every time he's the GM and he's not authoritative enough with him - the slightest decision between the players can take several hours, he doesn't want to rush them and he enjoys watching his housemates squabble over details.
Ivan :
He was delighted when he realised that you played RPG. He used to play it quite regularly when he was still human, and it's been a long time since he met someone to play with. Of course, there was Ethan at the mansion, but they spend all their time arguing as soon as they start a game together. Because of this, Aaron comes to tell them off and forbids them to play. After learning that you like to play this kind of game, he quickly invites you to play a game with him.
More than just acting, he loves creating characters. He has dozens and dozens of them, his characters have different alignments, they're vampires, werewolves, ghosts, sometimes humans, they have different jobs and different skills. He has written the story of each of them in great detail, and he won't hesitate to tell you about it if you ask him. However, his favourite character is a necromancer who pretends to be a simple bard, and he often uses him in his games.
He has a clear preference for fantasy and medieval RPGs.
If you're not the GM, he'll always try to at least be friends with your character. He might even suggest that you create a character duo with a shared story for the times when you play together.
Despite his many arguments with Ethan (he can't get along with him. He tries, he really does, but for every action they take they have different opinions), he's a good player, he listens to other people's opinions, often suggests ideas and has a very good knowledge of the game's mechanics, which makes him very effective when he's playing with Vladimir, who systematically doesn't understand a thing that's going on: Their in-game relationship could be summed up as "Don't try to understand, I'll explain it to you later".
Despite his many arguments with Ethan, he has already sacrificed several of his characters to save Ethan's.
He could be a good GM but he lacks authority. Nobody listens to him in the manor, everyone ignores his instructions, or even listens to what he has the NPC say, only to complain that he didn't give the right instructions. It gets worse when the players start arguing, at which point he knows it's a waste of time and he won't be able to do anything to restore calm. In the end, he hates being the GM because of this.
Aaron :
He only knows the RPG because he's already played with Ethan and Ivan, and at first he played mainly to stop them fighting, but now he also plays because he likes the game. So he doesn't really need much explanation from you (unless you have a miracle solution to stop Ivan and Ethan arguing during a game, at which point he'll take any solution). If you offer to play a game with him, he'll accept straight away.
Despite Ethan and Ivan's arguments, it's a game he enjoys. He loves the fact that the decisions he makes with the rest of the players have an impact on the story and he loves the discussion phases where he debates with the others about the next thing to do. Aaron is one of the most serious players, he tries to make the story progress in a coherent way, tell him to escort this or that NPC from point A to point B and everything will be fine, the NPC will be escorted and he'll do everything he can to protect him as best he can from the stupid ideas of his housemates, he refuses all side quests as long as they don't have a direct link with the main story and has the protection of his team at heart.
He has a preference for horror stories, so it doesn't matter whether they're set in a medieval or science-fiction world - all that matters to him is that you get to fight ghosts, demons and other supernatural creatures, or hunt down a serial killer.
Aaron plays two different types of character. Either his character is an invincible brute and a powerful fighter who protects the rest of the team by regularly acting as a human shield. Or his character is a healer when Raphaël refuses to be one. He knows that his character isn't the most resilient and that he has to rely on the other members of the team to protect him, but he tends to forget that, and the result is that he's often kidnapped, killed or taken hostage (which always delights Vladimir in these cases, because for once he's not the one who needs rescuing).
When his character is a brute, he has a very bad habit of breaking anything that causes him problems. A door? He breaks it down. A wall? He smashes the wall. A complex mechanism? Break it. A complex puzzle where you have to think long and hard for fear of making a mistake that will kill you all? He breaks everything! His character is a tough guy, with a big heart but who thinks very little, and he'll play him to the hilt without hesitation.
He's a good GM, he knows how to get people to listen to him and more often than not manages to stop the players fighting or arguing (well, except for Ethan and Ivan). He also knows the rules pretty well, he's able to guide the players when they're lost without giving them the solution and, above all, Aaron knows how to tell stories. It's very easy to be captivated by what he's telling and to be totally immersed in the game, although this can be a problem when the story is a horror story.
Raphaël :
He knows it by name, because he often hears Ethan and Ivan talk about it, but he clearly doesn't know what it is or what to do about it. The first time you talk to him about it, Raphaël pays attention. He thinks this kind of game might appeal to him - after all, he loves stories, so the idea of being able to move a story forward through the actions and decisions he takes seems excellent. He quickly agrees to play with you.
These characters are usually blind like him. Whichever character he plays, he will be friends with the character of Vladimir, and even for a game the idea of betraying Vladimir pains him. He often plays good characters and more often good chaotic characters than good loyal or good neutral characters. He also mostly plays healers, as he likes to protect and be protected by his team-mates.
If it's Vladimir, magnificent! The main quest won't be forgotten in favour of the couple's story and they'll just be a cute couple until the end of the game, but if it's Beliath, well… we can only hope that the main quest wasn't that important for the survival of the world, because it's likely to be quickly ignored because of the couple fights they'll start.
Whatever happens, he doesn't really follow the story. Raphaël accepts every side quest he comes across, from a grandmother asking you to retrieve her cat stuck in a tree to the old mayor asking you to defeat the manticore attacking the inhabitants of his village. This greatly annoys the other players, who can't follow the main story without being interrupted by Raphaël, who is absolutely determined to help the widow and the orphan. His character is often forcibly taken away by the others to continue the main story, despite his loud protests and complaints.
He's been collecting dice ever since you taught him to play RPG, and has over a hundred in a box that he hides under his bed. They come in all shapes, sizes and colours. He loves taking them out of the box to play with them or to show them to you.
He's not a good GM, but he manages to deal with conflict and tells the story well - that's not the problem. The problem is that he talks too much, he gives a lot of detail, often unnecessary detail, he comments on the NPCs' clothes, the decoration of the rooms, the sounds of the place, the whole life of the NPCs. Just wanted to ask the peasant for some information? You'll know everything about his life from birth. It would be fun if it was just one character, but it's all characters. What's more, he's too helpful to the players, you just have to ask him nicely for the solution and he'll give it, and he can't play a real villain, you can win every fight just by talking to your opponent. It drives Ethan completely mad.
Ethan :
Ethan has been playing RPG for years. He loves it, so he was really pleased when he found out you were playing. It's just that, since he's been living in the manor, he's had far less opportunity to play, well… he can play with Ivan, but if Aaron doesn't play with them it inevitably ends up in an argument. He's quick to offer you the chance to play with him, and even lets you choose the RPG you want, even though he has a preference for RPGs set in a science fiction world.
He creates a new character for each game and doesn't like taking on a character he's already played with. He very rarely plays a support role, preferring to be the team's thief or mage rather than the healer. It's not that he despises this role, he knows it's often essential to a team, but… he already spends his days healing his housemates in real life, so in the game he prefers not to have to worry about it. However, despite his best efforts to refrain from treating others, he finds it very hard to stop himself doing so, and always ends up shouting at Aaron or taking something out of his belongings to treat someone.
Ethan always chooses to create good chaotic characters, but he pretends to behave like a evil chaotic just to piss off his housemates. This works really well on Raphael, his character always ends up sulking his own.
When Ethan is one of the players, he tries to keep the others focused on the main quest. It's not easy, he feels obliged to keep an eye on everything Raphael does lest he accept a random quest from an NPC or tell too much about a secret mission, he stops Beliath from flirting with every NPC he meets (they've been chased out of several inns because of it), he stops Aaron from putting his character in danger and makes sure Vladimir doesn't get kidnapped while they're away from him. In fact, the only one he doesn't need to keep an eye on is Ivan, and it's all the more of a shame given that they're incapable of playing a game without arguing at some point.
Ethan is a pretty good GM, much to the astonishment of his housemates. Miraculously, he doesn't even disadvantage Ivan when he could have done so much to hurt his character as a GM.
Neil :
Neil had never heard of RPGs. The people they knew before they were locked in the cellar didn't play it and once they were out of the cellar they weren't in the frame of mind to find out about it. So this is the first time he's heard about it when you explain what it is and he's quite curious. He really likes the concept of a story that changes according to the decisions you make, and he's keen to try playing it with you. At least to try it out and see if he likes it.
All the characters he creates are powerful. He doesn't play a specific character alignment because the only thing he really wants is to either keep power over others or take power over others. His characters are always important people, a prince, a king or a nobleman. He has a strong preference for games involving coups d'état and power plays, whether the game is set in a science fiction, medieval or fantasy setting.
It's always complicated playing with him and other people. Neil wants to lead the troupe, he wants to be in charge and make decisions for everyone. It's difficult to get him to understand the principle of democracy and he often doesn't even have the patience to listen. More often than not that's his problem, he doesn't listen to the group's decisions and ends up endangering his character or his group in one way or another.
The only opinion he takes into account is yours, and even then he'll argue for several minutes to try to convince you that he's right. He is, however, capable of listening to you and following your advice once he has listened to your arguments and you have convinced him that you are right.
It's nice to play with him though, when he doesn't want to get the better of everyone. He gives good advice and often has good ideas.
He's not a good GM at all, he's overbearing and often unpleasant. He sighs and complains as soon as they think the players are making stupid decisions and he tends to make opponents much too strong for the players. It's not particularly pleasant to play with him as a GM.
Léandra :
Léandra likes to hang out in all the circles so she knows the JDR. She started playing it when she was just starting out and continued to do so when it was very fashionable. However, she lost interest little by little and it's been a long time since she's played it, she'd almost forgotten it existed, but the fact that you're talking to her about it brings back the memories. It's always been a lot of fun and she's quite keen to play with you. She'll look for gaming communities for you if you want.
She always creates different characters, but her characters are always chaotic, whether they're chaotic good, neutral, or Evil, she's incapable of playing a loyal character, she's tried from time to time but has never managed to keep it coherent.
She particularly likes creating wizards or demons, and she's looking to have fairly powerful characters, so she'll do everything in her power to become even more powerful over the course of the game. She also does a lot of Picrew to show what her character looks like.
She has a lot of fun getting her character to flirt with most of the NPC, and that's her main way of providing the team with information about the quest. She's a good player overall, always playing her character with conviction (which is what she prefers) and making decisions that suit her character. She also proposes interesting solutions to the problem and, above all, she knows how to listen to the suggestions of the rest of the team. This doesn't mean that she'll follow the majority opinion, even if she doesn't agree with it, but rather that she manages to change her mind when good arguments are put forward.
She's a good GM, even if the NPCs she plays tend to be a bit flirtatious. She manages to keep the players focused on the main quest and prevents most of the arguments. She also knows how to adjust the level of the enemies to the level of her players, which means that everyone can have a good time without dying at the first monster they face.
Farah :
Farah has already heard of the JDR, thanks in particular to some werewolves who were visiting the pack and playing it. She's even played a few games with them. She likes this type of game, even though she doesn't often get the chance to play it. When you tell her that you like playing RPGs, she's quite happy, especially if it means she can play a bit more often.
It's been a long time since she's played, so she may not remember all the rules very well. You don't need to explain everything to her again, though, and after a few questions she'll feel ready to play with you.
Most of the characters she creates are loyal good. She finds that much easier to play. Most often she plays a human and a paladin. On rare occasions, she also likes to play werewolves or elves, in which case she prefers to play druids or priests.
She's pretty serious, and her character sheets are always impeccable and precise. It has to be said that she has created very few characters, but they all have very well-developed histories.
She has a real preference for stories set in a medieval world, whether fantasy or entirely based on reality, although she will tend to quibble with historical facts if the story is based on reality. She wishes she didn't, but she can't help it, she knows when certain weapons were used and it always ruffles her feathers to see a rapier walking around in the early 11th century.
She likes it when the atmosphere in the team is good, so she always tries to encourage dialogue so that everyone can give their opinion, even if her habit of leading a pack sometimes makes her a little too authoritarian.
Farah is a very good GM, she knows how to tell stories very well which helps her a lot and as she's been managing her pack for years she also knows how to manage a team of players. She also always remembers all the players' character sheets very well.
Do you write character x character? If so could you write some Ethan x Beliath nsfw stuff? I absolutely adore your work, you're doing amazing, keep doing what you do
NSFW EthanxBeliath :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well? ^^
Thank you, I'm glad you like my headcanons. ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I don't mind writing headcanons between characters. I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
SFW :
If you asked Vladimir what he thought, he'd tell you that the worst idea Beliath and Ethan could have had was to get together. They fight and bicker even more than before. It's not because they don't love each other, it's because they really love to bicker over small things. Their relationship has become a kind of show on which others speculate and debate (yes, even Vladimir who complains though).
Ethan, especially, leaves, slamming the door dramatically after every argument, and Beliath happily goes off to win back his ex-partner's heart (it's his ex-partner for the next 15 minutes, despite his best efforts Ethan finds it very hard to be truly angry with the incubus).
They used to stick together when they were friends, but it's only got worse. Because despite their argument, they still agree to disagree with the rest of the mansion. It drives Vladimir and Aaron completely mad.
When they're not arguing, they like to take time for themselves. Beliath invites Ethan to restaurants and Ethan insists on taking a holiday away from the manor at least once a year.
They always like to flirt together at the Moondance, which sometimes creates a bit of conflict between them because Ethan can be slightly jealous, either because Beliath doesn't pay him enough attention or because Beliath has managed to hit on someone he wanted before him.
NSFW :
They had sex together because they wanted the same person at the Moondance and that person was totally willing to have them both. They enjoyed this relationship much more than they thought they would and they both did it again later. At first, there was always a human to share the moment with them, then gradually, there were no more humans.
Ethan is a tracker, and there's nothing he loves more than chasing his partner through the forest. What makes it even more exciting with Beliath is that he's also pretty good at hunting. Although Ethan never admits it, he loves being caught at his own game and realising at the last minute that he was the prey and not the hunter.
They're noisy, noisy in a way you can't imagine, and it's mainly Beliath's fault. He doesn't know how to be quiet and doesn't like being quiet. For his part, Ethan tries to be a little bit more discreet, really a little bit more, but Beliath always does a very good job of blackmailing his partner and he always feels a great sense of satisfaction when he finally manages to make Ethan incoherent.
Ethan likes to dominate and Beliath is happy to let him. He knows that Ethan has a great need to control the situation to feel comfortable and he wants his partner to have a good time. As their relationship develops, Beliath sometimes reverses the situation from time to time when he thinks it might be fun for them together.
Any surface and any room is a good place to have sex. For them, there's nothing more exciting than taking the risk of being surprised.
Beliath loves to tease Ethan during meetings. His hands always end up under the table to caress the doctor, who manages to remain silent most of the time. The looks he gives him never convince the incubus to stop his little game, even though he knows that his partner will take revenge later in a devious manner.
It's Beliath who bites the most, so Ethan often ends up with a lot of bite marks, and he always complains a bit about this, before insisting that Beliath do more, however, although Ethan enjoys being bitten, he prefers to keep the bite marks hidden. For his part, Béliath loves to have bite marks on him, and he certainly doesn't hide them. He prefers them to be clearly visible, and he doesn't hesitate to wear light clothing to ensure this is the case.
Hey do you mind doing some angst? If not during the final fight against Neil, the Love Interests die(just like Neil). They become ghosts and are stuck in the mansion. Mc can't see them but they can see her. How would they react to their S/O having a mental breakdown about their deaths? Seperatly please. Have a nice day ^^
MC having a mental breakdown about their deaths :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
!A mention of suicide in Vladimir's part.!
In view of the demand, the headcanons are all about death and mourning.
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
He's dead now. You couldn't even take revenge on something tangible, there was nothing to destroy, nothing to murder. Neil is already dead anyway. Everyone's in shock, you've lost Aaron and Vladimir in the same evening. In a rage, you destroyed everything in sight, threw over knick-knacks and pictures, insulted mother and father until you collapsed exhausted in the small living room.
The next morning, you woke up in bed. It was Beliath who put you there. Raphaël fell asleep on a chair next to you because they were too scared to leave you alone.
Vladimir had hoped to free you with his suicide so that you could finally leave and lead the life you'd always dreamed of, but that's not the case. You stay in her room night and day, sitting on her bed, caressing her clothes, trying everything you can to keep her scent on the pillows, in the sheets. You already feel as if you've forgotten her.
Why did he make another decision for you? Who did he think he was? You never asked for this! Everything should have turned out differently, he should have stayed with you, you would have been happy, you would have lived in the manor with the others, you could have fed off his smile and his laughter until you overdosed. You could have kissed his mouth, his cheeks, his face, his body. Covered him with your love, but he's gone. He had the audacity to abandon you, to leave you alone behind.
You feel as if you've lost your only chance of ever being happy, because what do you have left now? A manor house he no longer lives in. A garden he no longer tends. An empty bedroom, a cold side of the bed. What's the point of staying alive if you have to live alone? What's the point of staying alive when your partner committed suicide because of you? Raphaël has told you that this is not the way to think, but coming from him you have the impression that it's the hospital that laughs at charity. Isn't that Raphael, who has been mourning the loss of his partner for centuries, and asking you to move on?
You can't help wondering what if you'd loved him more? What if you'd shown him your love more often? Why didn't you see the signs? If you had woken up, perhaps you could have stopped him? Why didn't you wake up? Why didn't you hear him come out? Maybe you could have persuaded him not to do it, maybe by talking to him.
You think about it sometimes, probably too often. The other members of the manor refuse to leave you alone for more than an hour. They even take it in turns to sleep with you, lest you try to join Vladimir during the day. When you leave the room, you wander the corridors of the manor like a ghost, barely speaking to the other boys.
Vladimir is also stuck, the guilt of seeing you like this eating away at him. He had hoped to be able to leave this world at last, but he's too full of regret to be able to leave. Seeing you so sad breaks his heart, especially as he doesn't know how to console you. If he still could, he would hug you and whisper reassuring words, but you don't feel his caresses or hear his words.
He tried to move a book, to provoke a draught, to make you feel his presence by all the means at his disposal, but nothing seemed to work. He was sure he would never be able to talk to you, and had almost given up the idea of ever doing so, when finally, one night, he managed to move a sheet of paper. It fell to the floor and you took no notice of it, but after that he redoubled his efforts, a book, another sheet, a knick-knack. You didn't seem to mind either. Then one day you saw it.
Vladimir's book of poetry was open on the desk in your bedroom. You had read it the night before, as you had every night since he died, and you could quote each poem by heart. When you left the room, you were sure you'd closed it. But it was open on the desk and you reread the poem, one of Vladimir's favourites - you knew that because he often read it before going to bed. The first time, you simply closed the book after rereading the poem several times; it always brought you some relief, even if it was only momentary.
When you came back the book was open again on the same page. You thought for a moment that it was madness that had finally taken root in your mind, but things went on like that. You would close the book, and sometimes it would open right in front of you, onto a poem. Anyone would have told you to beware, ghosts feed on energy, it's not healthy, you could already hear the criticism, but if poetry allowed you to communicate with Vladimire then you accepted the danger with open arms. You started to take out a piece of paper to write a few words, and Vladimir replied by shining a light on certain words in the book. It wasn't much, but it was enough to put a smile on your face.
Béliath :
His mother killed him… The image of her body seems to have burned itself into your retinas. You see it as soon as you close your eyes. Léandra had to drag you away from her body, away from the fight and away from her mother. You would never have left if she hadn't dragged you back to the manor.
The boys mourn the death of their friends, but you don't have the strength. There are no tears left on your cheeks as you stare into the emptiness in front of you, feeling the hatred and rage take up more space in your stomach and heart every day. It should never have happened this way. You feel as if you've become nothing more than an entity bent on revenge. You dream about it at night and even during the day when you're asleep. It should never have happened like this, you should have lived happily ever after with him.
You tracked Neil down first, you hold him largely responsible for what happened. When you found him, you killed him, after all, if your parents had managed to keep him prisoner, he must not have been such difficult prey. Worst of all, it gave you pleasure, and your happiness at seeing him dead almost frightened you, almost, because you were far too happy with your victory over the former vampire to dwell on the feeling of destructive rage that was swelling inside you.
After that, you chased Asmodeus day and night. It was all you could think about. She thought you were just a little human, easy prey. But that was before you demanded to be turned into a vampire. Your rage and hatred have increased tenfold, fuelling your strength and you've progressed faster than any other young vampire before you. You know you won't rest until you've murdered her too. You want to make her suffer, to hear her scream. It's a need you've never felt before, but it's what keeps you going every night. Whoever hurt your partner has to pay, whatever it takes.
You returned to the manor after several years of tracking, exhausted, but you had defeated this creature. You kept one of its horns as a souvenir of your victory and carried it with you everywhere like a trophy.
But since then, you haven't really had a goal. You stay in the living room, empty of energy. The other boys try to help you, to find activities for you, but you can't think of anything. All you can think about is Beliath, all you can see is Beliath. All those years of hunting down his mother helped you to mute the pain of his loss, but now it's hitting you even harder. You're going to live forever and he's not here to enjoy it with you.
You have no photo to see his smile again and again, and no video to hear his laughter and voice again. Your memories fade little by little, the features of his face are no longer as clear, you can't remember his smell.
The manor seems sad without his presence, no one arguing gently with Vladimir, no one teasing Raphaël or Ivan. His room hasn't moved, and the others are still cleaning it, as if Beliath or Ethan were about to return and breathe a little life back into the dead walls of this old manor.
Beliath sees you. He has seen your murderous rage and now he sees your distress that nothing seems able to soothe. He wishes he could help you and find a way to ease your sadness so that you could be happy again. But there's nothing he can do. You don't hear him trying to whisper soothing words to you as you cry. You don't feel his hand trying to caress your skin to soothe you, you never feel his arms when he tries to hold you close.
He feels like he's going mad with grief too. Seeing you suffer without being able to help you is horrible suffering, and he'd rather suffer any other kind of torture than this. But he doesn't give up, he does everything he can so that you can see and hear him. He talks, he talks, he talks to say nothing in the hope that one day you'll hear him, but it doesn't work, so he plays in mirrors, windows, all reflective surfaces, you'll see him in the end, he won't give up, you have to see him no matter what.
And then, one night, you saw him. He appeared in your bedroom mirror, your heart missing a beat at first before a tear-streaked smile appeared on your face as you recognised him. Anyone would tell you it's dangerous, a demon ghost in a mirror, but it's your ghost and your demon. You could touch it, the surface was cold and flat under your fingers, but it was there, on the other side, very close to you. He writes on the mirror to speak to you, and you respond in kind. It's not enough, of course, you both want each other's arms around you, but this is just the beginning, you won't give up, one day you'll be able to hug again.
Ivan :
You survived Constance but Ivan didn't. Despite their best efforts, the boys couldn't do anything to save him, there was nothing they could do anyway. You didn't think Ethan would be so affected, but after spending so much time harassing Ivan, the doctor seems to feel extremely guilty that he couldn't do anything to save him. Aaron and Vladimir also seem very affected, the former not speaking to Ethan for several weeks and the latter sinking even deeper into melancholy, giving you the impression of having lost a son rather than a friend.
The first few days were difficult, you couldn't really believe that Ivan wasn't coming back. It was a bit strange, you kept expecting to bump into him in a corridor or to see him coming up to you to suggest that we read together or play a video game together. Sometimes you even thought you could hear his voice in the corridors or see his reflection in the windows and mirrors. But he wasn't there, and the joy of seeing him again always turned to sadness when you realised it.
Little by little you realised that he wasn't coming back. That's when things got even more complicated for you. You couldn't be happy any more, it was frightening, the films that made you laugh, the video games you enjoyed, the books you loved, nothing seemed to be able to make you laugh or even smile any more. You just felt empty and sad. The slightest mention of Ivan made you cry, you couldn't sleep without having nightmares and your lack of sleep only made you even more sensitive.
The boys try to support you, but it's not easy even for them. You often come across Aaron or Vladimir at Ivan's grave. You sometimes stand at his grave alone for a long time before Beliath comes to fetch you and encourages you to go home. He makes you something hot to drink and tries to cheer you up, but even he isn't in the mood to be cheerful.
Ivan sees all this, but he's terrified at first - it wasn't easy enough being a vampire, but now this, a ghost! What's more, he no longer has the slightest support or person to rely on. He remains in a state of complete panic for several days, which causes a few light bulbs to burst in the manor house, Vladimir blames the damage on the ageing electrical system.
When Ivan finally manages to calm down, he wants to know how you are. He's a bit clumsy at first, having unintentionally dropped a stack of books in front of you (He cursed himself for frightening you; he only wanted to make you aware of his presence by banging on the wall.) He makes you jump when he passes in a mirror and then he doesn't manage to appear again to show you his presence. He broke a vase by crossing it too roughly when he wanted to come close to you. He really doesn't seem to be a very effective ghost, and yet he'd love to be able to talk to you.
He keeps on insisting though, he won't give up. He sees every day how sad you are and he wants to make you smile again. He tries for a long time to find a way of communicating with you without frightening you. But it's not easy, he's rather clumsy in his approach, but he thinks he must have a way of making you understand that he's there without breaking more objects around him.
He thought he could communicate with you through video games, but you haven't turned on his games console once since he died, so he can't do anything. He can't turn the console on himself and he's too scared to break it if he insists too much. He thinks he's finally found a solution one evening when he sees you watching videos on your phone. After several unsuccessful attempts, including one that turned your phone off and another that played Ivan's rock playlist, he finally manages to send you SMS.
At first you jumped and nearly dropped the phone when you saw Ivan's message appear. Then, for a brief moment, you thought it was a bad joke, but between the fact that no one had your number, Ivan's music playlist playing by itself and all the objects that had been breaking strangely around you since his death.
You smiled, the fear should have overwhelmed you, you should have run away, gone into hiding, but the happiness of finally being able to communicate with him again took over everything else. It didn't matter how Ivan did it, he could talk to you. You reply to the SMS.
Aaron :
You can be sure of one thing: there's nothing worse than not being able to get even. Neil is dead, you finished him off in the library, but that's not enough. You buried his body in the cellar, or what was left of it to bury. After wounding him almost mortally with your chalice powers, you finished him off with Aaron's sword, you struck, struck, struck, again and again with a rage that still burns in your heart. It took the intervention of Beliath and Raphael to stop you from continuing to destroy the corpse. You're sure you could have gone on for hours without exhausting yourself. How could you have calmed down when that thing had just killed your partner!
It's been a month and you still can't grieve. All you feel is hatred and anger for what happened. It burns inside you like an erupting volcano, nothing seems to be able to stop it, the smallest detail is enough to fuel it. The simple fact of uttering Neil's name, of alluding to the cellar and you go into a mad rage destroying everything within your reach.
You were happy! Your life with Aaron seemed wonderful. There was a real connection between the two of you, you had never felt so close to anyone before him and it all disappeared in one night. It's as if something is missing to make you feel complete, you feel broken, and it's even worse when bedtime comes and you find yourself alone in his room.
There are his sheets and his smell disappears, you sometimes wake up with the impression that he's at his desk writing his poetry, but he's never there. He won't write you any more poetry. You feel like you're choking every time you realise it.
Your Aaron, your murdered Aaron. You were sure that constantly protecting others would end up costing him his life. You blame yourself so much, if you'd been able to convince him to stay safe, if you'd been a better fighter, none of this would have happened. You don't listen to your housemates who keep telling you that you couldn't have done anything to protect him. You should have protected him, you're sure of it, it's going round and round in your head. You should have protected him. That's what partners do and you failed.
It hurts Aaron to see you like this, and it hurts him even more not to be able to do anything to help or console you. He's always hated feeling helpless and he couldn't be more so. He'd love to be able to hug you to reassure you that it's not your fault. He blames himself even more when he sees you feeling guilty.
He tries to communicate with you, he has tried several times to take you in his arms and hold you close to him, but you never feel his presence. He drops things but you just pick them up and put them back. Sometimes he sits for hours at the desk in his bedroom trying to write words or a sentence, but despite his best efforts nothing happens.
He feels like he's going mad, everything he does seems to have no consequences. But he's stubborn and he won't give up, especially when he sees that your rage is slowly turning to melancholy. Gradually you stop getting angry, you stop destroying things, you just visit his grave in the garden and stand there doing nothing. He can't leave you like this, so he insists. He drops more objects, he bangs the walls harder, he plays with the shadows, he keeps trying to write.
One day he finally does, and when you go back up to the bedroom to go to bed there's a little note written on a piece of paper. At first you don't believe it, maybe it's a piece of poetry you've pulled out of the desk drawer without remembering. But every day you find a little more.
Then one day the words write themselves on the paper, and you stare at them for several minutes, completely dazed. It could only be Aaron, it's Aaron's handwriting. You feel like you could faint from joy, but you grab a pen to answer.
Some might tell you that it's dangerous, that you shouldn't trust a ghost as it could be hostile or do you harm, but no matter, you take all the risks necessary to chat with Aaron.
Raphaël :
It was a huge shock for Vladimir and Beliath when they returned to the manor house. There you both were, Raphael already dead and you in agony. While Vladimir collapsed in shock, unable to make the slightest gesture or utter the slightest sound, Beliath pounced on you to turn you into a vampire. It wasn't easy, but luckily he acted quickly enough for you not to succumb to your injuries. The boys buried Raphaël in the garden and you didn't learn of his death until several days later, when you finally woke up.
You're not sure you're happy about that, you're alive, but without Raphaël everything seems a lot less sparkling. The world has lost its colour, or it's you who can't see it any more. You spend a lot of time sitting in his room, most of the time doing nothing because you don't have the energy. Sometimes you observe his collections, the luminous reflections of the stones in the sun, other times you listen to the music he used to enjoy, which soothes you at least a little, and when you close your eyes you almost feel as if he could still be there, listening to the music with you.
He's never there, though, and when you open your eyes again you're alone in the room, and there's nothing worse than that loneliness. The bond between you was so strong that you felt as if you were one, more than a separation, you feel as if a part of yourself is missing.
Your housemates often try to cheer you up, as you hardly ever leave the room any more, Beliath brings you food, Vladimir sometimes comes to keep you company, you don't often talk but he's there to help you if you need it, Aaron also comes to keep you company from time to time, he talks more than Vladimir, but he never expects a reply from you, he tells you what he's seen in the forest, the gossip from the manor, he also tries to make you laugh, even if he's not very good at it.
It hurts Raphaël to see you so sad. He'd like to find a way to help you, but at first he's so distressed by the situation that he sits motionless in his room for a long time, unable to do anything. The worst thing for him is that he can't touch you any more, he misses the happy moments when you used to read together in the library and his hand would brush yours, the moments when he could gently kiss your face and feel your bodies against him, now all he hears is you crying and he can't do anything to comfort you, it's worse than anything horrible he's ever experienced, he can't bear it.
It takes a while before he dares to try and get you to notice him. At first, he doesn't really know what to do, he's afraid of scaring you and making you even more unhappy. You're already going through a difficult time after all and he wouldn't want to make things worse by scaring you. So he tries little things, dropping a small object, talking to you softly, touching your hand. It doesn't work though, you don't notice and he doesn't know if he's getting any reaction from you because he can't hear you.
He tries to make heavier objects fall, even dropping one of his rapiers, he doesn't need it after all, you seem to have understood this time because he heard you calling him, but he didn't manage to make you understand that he was there a second time.
After many attempts, he settled on the phonograph. You were startled the first time you heard the music change, but it continued every night, often songs that you and Raphaël liked to listen to together. He continued to use the phonograph for a long time, mainly because it was finally something that seemed to make you react, you were asking him questions and he was trying to make himself understood through the music. You went on like this until it occurred to you to go and find an old radio in the attic.
When you got to your room, you were startled to hear the radio come on without you even having to plug it in. Raphaël was connecting to a different radio wave to talk to you using the voices of the presenters and the music that was playing. It was a bit frightening of course, no doubt if Vladimir had seen what was happening he would have had a heart attack, but you were too happy to be able to talk to Raphaël again to think about it for a second.
Ethan :
You can't tell exactly what happened that night. Ethan and you, you'd bought a nice little flat in town, near the Moondance. You lived there happily and… Neil attacked you. The only thing you know for sure is that Ethan died next to you, but you're not sure about anything else. You must have done something because, after that, Aaron found you in the forest, you were covered in blood from head to toe, not your own. He told you that he smelled the scent all the way to the manor house and that he got there as quickly as he could, but you don't remember that either.
Neil is dead by all accounts. You're not sure if it was you or Ethan who killed him. Aaron thinks it was you, you were covered in his blood after all, right down to your fingernails, but you can't be sure. What happened that night remains a mystery to you - in fact, you don't even really know how you ended up on the path to the mansion in your pyjamas and bare feet, walking like a lost automaton.
Since then, you've returned to live at the manor with the boys. You don't really sleep, night or day. The nightmares assault you as soon as you close your eyes, you see his body again, nothing but his body. Beliath sleeps in the bedroom with you, too afraid that, like Ethan when he was alive, you'll start going outside the manor in a daze.
When you're not lying in Ethan' room, you're wandering the corridors like a ghost, barely speaking to them. The boys try to talk to you, but most of the time you just don't reply. They have the impression that you're there, without really being there. If Beliath didn't try to cook for you every day and didn't insist that you eat, you probably wouldn't eat at all.
You haven't set foot in the city once since he left, and it's been several months since he left. The boys have tried to get you out and about - Aaron has suggested concerts, Ivan video games or manga conventions, Raphaël museum visits, Beliath to accompany you to the Moondance and Vladimir has even suggested go walking in the forest together. But none of these activities could rouse you from your lethargy.
Ethan sees all this. At first he was wandering around your flat in town not understanding where you might be and with the worry that Neil had taken you with him, he couldn't remember anything other than his death and was unable to find out what happened to you afterwards. He went to the manor in the hope of finding help or at least convincing the boys to go looking for you, and that's when he saw you. You were in his room, staring at the ceiling, the various attempts of his former housemates to cheer you up seemingly in vain.
He couldn't leave you like that, it was unthinkable. He tried to talk to you, to communicate with you, but you didn't react. The objects falling, the banging on the walls, the noises in the pipes. Nothing seemed to make you react, you just lay there in bed, or pacing the corridors of the manor house. He couldn't give up, not until he finally found something to communicate with you. He kept going until he finally found something that made you react.
The bedside lamp on his desk never stopped flickering. At first, you simply turned it off, but then it would come back on and start flickering again, so you unplugged it, but even then it kept going at a strange rate, so you stopped trying to turn it off and just stared at it; the annoying flickering had become soothing. You couldn't explain why but you just felt good looking at it.
One evening Aaron joked with you that it might be Morse code. It was a stupid idea, but it never left you. What if Aaron was right, despite his joke? This idea, which you found absurd, gave you renewed energy. The very next day you began your research: if vampires existed, why not ghosts, and why shouldn't this ghost be your Ethan?
You've read dozens and dozens of books on Morse code while learning to decipher it. It was difficult at first, but you slowly managed to understand it. Then you started asking him questions, first to find out if it was really Ethan, questions that only he had the answers to. You remained doubtful even though every answer was right, between doubt and the impression that you could burst with happiness.
You continued to talk to him, feeling more and more confident, and slowly your doubts melted away. It was Ethan and he had found a way to communicate with you.
Ethan's happiness at seeing you understand couldn't be described in words. He knew you could do it; your intelligence has always been a great attraction to him. You spend a lot of time joking together.
You were ready to love a vampire, so why not a ghost after all? Some might say you've lost your mind, but it doesn't matter as long as you can talk to Ethan.
I've been on Tumblr for a very short time, two months at most, and I started following you because of your Tumblr content. lit, I reread the content weekly almost(or more)😭 I thought you were inactive, that you weren't posting anymore. and I get a notification from your profile and I'm like:🤡 YES POSTING
i am subnormal 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
so qu, to all this, first t saludo😅 qu tal todo??💗 two: the requests are open :3?????
Hi! ^^
I'm fine! I hope you're well too and Welcome to Tumblr!
I remember signing up on Tumblr to get more Moonlight lovers content, it must be a while now.
In all cases, it's always nice to see new people and I'm glad you like my headcanons ^^.
Requests are still open, but I may take a while to reply. I still have quite a few requests in progress.
I was wondering how the boys would react to meeting mcs family (let's just assume they have family lol) I feel like that may be very, very chaotic and fun
Vladimir meets MC's family:
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
I'm back again. I have quite a few requests pending. I'll try to publish them quickly. Several of them are already in my drafts and are almost finished ^^.
I'm going to make a separate answer for each character with this request, given everything I've written for Vladimir and the fact that I like each character to have roughly the same length of response.
The next one to come out should be Beliath, I'm halfway through for him.
I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
-----
Did he tell you he was stressed? Maybe a dozen times since you left the manor. Vladimir is sitting in the passenger seat next to you, you must have hired a car to take you to the town. It's a short hour's drive, but for once, Vladimir seems much less stressed about the car journey than the idea of meeting your parents.
"It's all right, darling. They're not going to eat you, you know, you are trying to lighten the mood by joking.
-I know!"
You give him a quick look. Vladimir is clinging to the door as if his life depended on it, and he can't help shaking his leg.
"Do you want me to stop the car?
-No, I'm fine.
-All right, if you change your mind, let me know. It'll make us a bit late, but my parents will wonder what I've done to you if you turn up so distressed.
-We can't be late, it's impolite.
-It's OK to be a bit late and it's better than having an anxiety attack in my living room, isn't it?"
He nodded. He wasn't as stressed when he left the manor, well, he was, but he didn't feel like he was running out of air. He spent more than an hour looking for the right clothes to wear, you saw her change outfits more than a dozen times before you decided to choose clothes yourself from her wardrobe. He's comfortable in it, which is the main thing, in your opinion, but he's worried about looking like a fool in front of your parents with his clothes from another century. Maybe they won't even let him in the house. After all, what kind of parents would let a monster like him anywhere near their child? If his parents had understood that the person who had transformed him was a vampire, he would never have been allowed near him.
Vladimir groans. He gets even more anxious by himself. Your parents won't know that he's a vampire, how could they? You haven't told them and it's not written on his forehead… well, he'll always look strange… What parents could leave their child with someone as strange as him?! His clothes are anachronistic, the way he talks is strange.
"Calm down Vladimir, you're worrying me. Are you sure you don't want me to stop the car?
-No, I'll be fine.
-I assure you my parents will like you. And it's only dinner, it's nothing formal."
A dinner party! Not formal! A first dinner at your partner's parents' house is very formal. He would have known perfectly well what to do in the 19th century, but in the 21st century! He has no idea, and he's already afraid of the mistakes he might make. How should he address them? What subjects are allowed to be discussed? Where should he sit at the table? He can't just sit anywhere, there are rules to be respected! He hasn't even brought a present for your parents - you said it wasn't necessary, but he feels it's really impolite. Perhaps there's still time to turn back? His chest is compressed with anxiety and he's struggling to breathe. You let go of the steering wheel with one hand to take his.
You, you would have preferred to wait a little longer before Vladimir met your parents. You had gone to see them alone on several occasions and you had spoken to them about Vladimir many times. They began to insist on meeting him. You often told your parents that Vladimir was allergic to sunlight and therefore you couldn't come for lunch. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth either. It was several weeks before they asked you to come for dinner one evening, and you tried to put the date back as far as possible, mainly so that Vladimir would have time to get used to the idea of meeting them. But they were so insistent that you couldn't keep them waiting for more than a week, on a moonless night.
"They're very nice, you'll see, but a bit protective," you try to reassure him. But I think that's normal for parents. They're also likely to make some not very funny jokes. If you don't feel well at any time, you can go and lock yourself in my room. Normally you'd be sitting next to me, so you can shake my hand if anything goes wrong.
-Yes… I'll do everything I can not to make you feel uncomfortable with my presence.
-I'm not talking about that, Vladimir. You won't cause any problems, I know that. My parents are going to ask you questions about you, about what you like, about your family.
-No! No, I don't want anyone talking about my family.
-I'll try to deflect the conversation if that happens, don't worry."
You squeezed his hand, then stroked his palm, to reassure him, and it seemed to work, because he relaxed a little. You weren't far from your parents' house and after another ten minutes or so you saw their house looming up in the dark street. You stopped just in front of the house before turning to Vladimir.
"Can we go now? you ask softly.
-Yes, I think we can.
-All right, then. You'll see, they're nice people, I'm sure they'll like you.
-I wouldn't be so sure if I were you," mumbled Vladimir as he got out of the car, "not many people like me…
-Don't be silly, everyone at the manor loves you and I've even fallen in love with you. That just goes to show you're someone to love, doesn't it?"
Vladimir gave a little pout without answering. You waited for him by the car and he came over to take your hand in his, and you smiled, leaning in slightly to kiss his cheek before approaching the house.
"It's a small house," Vladimir whispered in your ear as you approached the door.
-Yes, I don't live in a castle.
-I… I just want to say that even my country house was bigger "
You laughed softly.
" Damn, I really don't know how to express myself. I…. I'm making it worse for myself, aren't I?
-That's OK. You make me laugh. You leaned in to kiss her again. I know you're not just saying that to be mean or to brag, I know you."
You rang the doorbell. Your parents only took a few seconds to arrive, almost as if they'd been waiting in the hall to let you in. There was a lot of talking, about your route, your health, the weather, all mixed up with more or less noisy and awkward introductions. Vladimir remained stubbornly beside you, with a smile on his face that you couldn't have described other than uncomfortable. Remembering that your partner is not used to so much commotion, you slipped a hand behind his back to reassure him, and he moved a little closer to you, your shoulders almost touching.
"I'm delighted to meet you," said Vladimir, glancing at you briefly to make sure he wasn't making a mistake. I am honoured to be invited to dinner.
-Don't be so formal, young man," exclaimed one of your parents. We're not going to eat you.
-I
-Vladimir finds it difficult to use informal language. There's not much he can do about it, I think he'll be more comfortable if he keeps talking like that.
-Do you really think so? It's strange, but so be it. Come on in, let's get off the porch, it's a cold."
You were pushed inside the house by your parents, who were still talking. There was a strong smell of food in the house and you were already certain that your parents had prepared your favourite dish to celebrate your visit. You all headed for the dining room. Vladimir sat right next to you while your parents sat opposite. His face was icy, a look he always takes when he's stressed and anxious and which often has the misfortune of making him appear extremely arrogant and cold. You grabbed his hand under the table to stroke it and try to help him relax, but he only squeezed your hand before turning his face towards you, you were sure your parents wouldn't see, but you could read the anxiety in his dark eyes perfectly.
The start of the meal went off without a hitch, except for Vladimir who, being rather fussy about food, didn't touch many dishes. The conversation went pretty well too, despite your parents' insistence that your vampire fill up his plate a little more.
"Really, you don't eat much, don't you like it? asked one of your parents after Vladimir had turned down another piece of meat with a contrite smile.
At the remark your partner opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water. You immediately stepped in to save him.
"Vladimir has a small appetite, he never eats much.
-All the same," continued one of your parents, "it's not good for your health.
-I… it's very good… but I don't eat much… MC is right…
-It's obvious, you're just skin and bones.
-That's not a very nice comment, firstly, and secondly, it's not polite to comment on what people eat either. You're making Vladimir feel uncomfortable.
There was a pause in the conversation as you stared alternately at your parents, beside you Vladimir sighed with relief before taking your hand under the table to thank you.
"Ah, sorry, young man. We didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just concern.
-It's nothing, nothing at all," mumbled Vladimir.
The meal resumed on less delicate subjects and Vladimir began to relax again. He spoke very little, however, content to answer your parents' questions. When the subject of the manor came up, things got complicated again.
"So, you all live in your house together, is that right?
-That's right.
-And it's your house? MC told me it was a manor house.
-Yes… it is my mansion…
-How well do you know your flatmates? I mean, seven people, that's a lot of people it can't be quiet every day.
-We have been living together for several years…" replied Vladimir. We get on quite well, even if there is sometimes friction…
-It can't be easy to keep everyone happy. I suppose it must be a lot quieter when everyone goes off to work."
You were going to tell a lie, but Vladimir's face betrayed you before you even had time to open your mouth.
"Don't they have jobs?! Your parents' exclamation made Vladimir stiffen in his chair, he moved back a little to press his back against the backrest and you intervened once again to save him.
-Of course it is! Everyone has a job. Except Ivan, but he's younger and it's hard for him to find work in the current economic climate. However, he helps us a lot around the house, he does the cleaning, he tends the garden, he always goes shopping for us with Beliath and he's a very polite and very nice boy. Isn't he, my darling?
-Y… yes… Ivan is a very helpful boy."
Your lie and your smile worked because your parents relaxed almost immediately before smiling at you again.
"Oh, we were scared for a moment, I thought they were all living in your house without paying.
-MC didn't tell us about it, but what do you do for a living, Vladimir?
-I… I work… Vladimir glances at you, immediately understanding his distress, and you smile at your parents.
-Vladimir is a writer, it's difficult to find a job when you can't work during the day. And he writes very well, by the way."
It wasn't a total lie, of course, Vladimir had never published a single book, but he did write. However, you didn't often get the chance to read his stories because your partner didn't feel comfortable enough with his writing to show them to you.
"Oh, really… It's an original job… but it can't bring in much money…," worries one of your parents.
-Money's not a problem, the house is completely self-sufficient," you reply.
-The house may be self-sufficient, but you're not living on love and fresh water.
-Our food comes from the garden.
-The garden… and what do you do in winter?
-We store the produce," you always reply, while Vladimir seems to be trying to become one with the chair.
-And what about the meat?
-I think that if we needed meat Aaron could take care of it without any problem," you answer, giving Vladimir a knowing smile.
-Oh… yes, Aaron would have no problem with that.
-And we've got enough money anyway to buy meat if we need it."
The discussion suddenly turned to the rising price of meat and the growing vegetarian lifestyle. Vladimir grabbed your hand under the table during the discussion and you began to gently stroke the palm of his hand to try and help him calm down. Slowly, you succeeded, at least until the discussion turned back to your vampire's work.
"I could never have done this job myself, I need to move around to feel good. Do you even do sport?
-Er… no. I… I don't do sport.
-Not even a little? It's very bad for your health. You should be careful.
-I… I don't like it… but I used to go horse-riding.
-Horse-riding. It's an expensive sport!"
You ignored your parent's comment as you turned to Vladimir with a smile.
"Did I? You never told me you'd been horse-riding," you reply, amused.
-Everyone went riding," protests Vladimir. I even had my own mare.
-A mare? But horses cost money to keep! How could your parents afford to buy you something like that?"
You ignored your parent again as he continued his tirade to ask Vladimir.
"And what was her name?"
Vladimir blushed and looked down.
"Oh come on, tell me. I promise I won't laugh.
-You're lying, I was three when I named him. You're going to laugh. I know you too well…
-Oh come on, what name could a three-year-old boy give his horse… Cherry? Raspberry? No, too modern… Artemisia? Aphrodite? Penelope?
-No… I don't think you'll be able to find…
-You don't?
-I'll tell you… later…"
You smile before leaning over to kiss his cheek, the simple gesture enough to make him blush profusely, he stammers something you don't fully understand but he takes your hand under the table to kiss it gently. You are taken out of your bubble by your parents' discussion, which resumes. The clock is already striking twenty-two and you've just finished your meal. It's been a long dinner and you can feel that your partner is getting more and more tired and already just wants to crawl back into your bedroom to get some rest. However, your parents still have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask.
"And do you dress like this every day?
-Er… yes.
-It's original, you must stand out in the street.
-I… I don't get out of the house much.
-Oh, yes, that's true. MC told us. Your flatmates must be surprised to see you dressed like that.
-He's very handsome like that," you retorted immediately to end the discussion."
Your tone is dry enough for your parents to instinctively understand that the discussion is not appropriate.
"I'm not saying otherwise, but it's
-Impolite to criticise people's dress? I suppose.
-Yes, it is, sorry, bunny, I didn't mean to offend you."
The discussion changes again and Vladimir seems relieved, raising the eyes he had lowered during the discussion to look at you. You smile gently at him to reassure him and this is almost enough to make his unease and shame disappear completely. You talk again for several minutes as you eat the dessert, time passing slowly for Vladimir, who has to keep himself from asking when you're finally going to come home. He was happy, however, not to be included in the discussion, that is, until one of your parents asked him a new question.
"And your parents? What do they do? Do they live near here?"
Vladimir squeezed your hand so hard it almost hurt, you didn't need to turn your head to him to know he must have changed colour at the question. You shook his hand in turn before smiling at your parents and to divert the conversation.
"I saw on my way here that he was planning to build a new road through the forest.
-Ah, don't tell me about it," it exclaimed immediately, sitting back in his chair. It's another stupid idea. They'll do anything these days, as if there weren't enough roads already… "
Without listening any longer, you turned your head towards Vladimir and stroked his hand under the table. He seemed lost in thought.
"Do you want to go out for a moment?" you whispered, leaning close to his ear.
-I want to stay with you," he replied almost immediately.
-All right, then. Don't worry, dinner's nearly finished, just the coffee left and I promise we'll go home straight away."
He simply nodded in reply. The subject never came up again, as your parents had obviously forgotten about it and were complaining about the traffic problems on the road and the many traffic jams on the way into town in the mornings. During the discussion, Vladimir had moved his chair closer to yours and you were almost shoulder to shoulder. After a while, your parents finally served the coffee and Vladimir had some tea, because to his great relief your parents had some. He felt like he could fall asleep with his eyes open so he didn't hear when one of your parents asked him a question, and you had to squeeze his hand to make him pay attention to what was being said.
"Can you cook?" repeated your parent.
-No… I had servants at home.
-So… you've never cooked?" asked your stunned parent.
-Servants?!
-Well…"
Vladimir gives you another pleading look to get him out of this situation.
"It's Béliath and Raphaël who cook at home."
However, your parents don't listen to you for a second. Your partner's revelation seems to have shocked them so much that one of your parents immediately continues on the subject.
"Can you cook pasta?
-Well… you need water, I suppose and… fire…
-Supposed to?
-I… I've never cooked pasta…
-You've never cooked pasta! But everyone knows how to cook pasta!
-I… it is complicated… I…
-But who cooks in your flat? finally asked one of your parents, turning to you.
-Raphaël and Béliath, as I've just told you. He cooks very well, so don't worry about the food.
-It's crazy not to have cooked before.
-But I've cooked before. It's just something complicated.
-It's not complicated to cook pasta.
-MC, please.
-Vladimir doesn't need to cook. Aaron, Ethan and Ivan don't cook either and nobody has a problem with that.
-But come on, sweetheart. Cooking pasta isn't complicated!
-I wouldn't let Ethan cook pasta if my life depended on it. If it were up to me, Ethan wouldn't even set foot in the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee."
Luckily, your distraction worked and your parents started asking you questions about Ethan, who wouldn't be able to make himself a cup of coffee without setting fire to the kitchen. It certainly wasn't very nice for Ethan, but you didn't have many scruples: if it would allow Vladimir to be serene again, you would be able to claim anything. The meal went on for a while, the cups of tea and coffee had been empty on the table for a good hour when you finally managed to make your parents understand that you were going to leave.
They walked you to the door and kept chatting, so you stayed in the driveway for another long half-hour, repeating several times that it would be a long way to your house and that you couldn't stay any longer, before one of your parents came up with a new topic of discussion that made you stay five minutes longer. Finally, you managed to get out of their grip and finally got in the car to go home.
The way back was completely silent, Vladimir seemed as exhausted as the time Aaron had forced him to train in combat, his head resting limply against the headrest and he answered the few questions you asked him in very short sentences, finally he even stopped answering you and when you turned to look at him, you could see him asleep with his head leaning against the window. You only woke him up once outside the manor house and even though the night was still far from over Vladimir decided to go to bed almost immediately. You followed him into the bedroom to rest with him.
Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief as he collapsed into your bed. When you joined him, he immediately snuggled up to you.
"I thought the evening would never end," murmured the vampire. It was hell.
-Oh, my darling, you're not going to like this…
-What?" asked Vladimir in a worried voice.
-Well… it's polite to invite my parents to eat here too…
-Please, forget politeness," muttered the vampire. I don't ever want to leave here again, I don't ever want to be invited to a meal. It was horrible, I'd forgotten how much I hate dinner parties.
-All right, all right, I forget," you smiled, starting to stroke her hair gently to soothe her. No more dinners, and if anyone offers to take you out to eat, I'll bite them. That's fine with you."
Your vampire nodded, his face completely buried in your neck. You laughed before shifting to kiss the top of his head.
"But I'll only do it on one condition.
-What's that?" mumbled the vampire in a muffled voice.
-What was the name of your mare?
-Lady Princess Cherry Rose Camomile?
-That's a pretty long name for a mare," you joked.
-My parents said exactly the same thing…"
You laughed again before kissing her again.
"My poor darling, you've had an exhausting night.
-I made a lot of effort for you. I didn't even complain about the car journey. It just goes to show that I love you.
-I love you too. You saw how I saved you several times from my parents' questions. If that's not proof of love, I don't know what is.
-Yes, that's true. You're my hero and mine alone."
Here's a headcanon that I was asked for but I've lost the request. I haven't played Pokémon for years. The last pokémon I played was pokémon Moon. But I hope you enjoy it.
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
If Vladimir were a trainer Pokémon, he wouldn't really leave his house. It looks dangerous outside, and he could be attacked by a pokémon. He would stay safe in his little manor, away from the city with his roommates whom he liked to keep him company. Why go out anyway? Beliath and Ethan fetch him whatever he needs in town, Raphael and Ivan keep him company and Aaron is never far away. Plus, he's got his pokémons with him. He's never alone. In fact, his pokémons functioned as emotional support animals as a result, he rarely leaves them and he is even less likely to leave the manor without them.
Vladimir mainly owns grass-type pokémons, which help him look after his garden. He's owned most of his pokémons since they were little.
He's not a great pokémon collector, in fact, his pokédex is almost empty and apart from the six that live with him and those of his flatmates, he doesn't know many… His pokémons have the widest variety of characters. He's never really worried about that, and after all, he's accepted Ethan into his manor, even though he's got a horrible temper…
Leavanny (Bug/Grass): This was the first pokémon he ever had, when it was just a tiny Sewaddle. He always goes out with Leavanny if he has to go into town on his own. She's his favourite, both because he finds her very pretty and because she defends him so well.
Lilligant (Grass): He finds her adorable, of course, all her pokémons are adorable (much more so than Aaron's, in any case) but Liligant is really beautiful, he looks after her a lot and it's quite common to see her with Vladimir in the garden.
Leafeon (Grass): One day Aaron brought back a whole litter of little Eevees, their parents nowhere to be found, so Aaron gave them all one. Of course, Vladimir's evolved into a Leafeon. Hanging out so often in the garden with Vladimir, it couldn't have been any other way. It's the only pokémon that's allowed to sleep with Vladimir. It sticks to Vladimir's back while he sleeps and Vladimir has far fewer nightmares thanks to its presence.
Ribombee (Bug/Fairy): He got this pokémon when it was just a tiny Cutiefly. At the time, the pokémon hid under his hair at the slightest sign of danger. It's still doing it now that he's evolved, but because he's taller, he messes up Vladimir's hair a lot and isn't so well hidden any more. It doesn't matter, Vladimir still adores him just as much and gives him everything.
Florges (Fairy): He discovered Florges when she was just a tiny Flabébé among the flowers in his garden. Naturally, Vladimir took an instant liking to her. Now that she's a beautiful Florges, he's very happy to have her help look after and protect his garden.
Yamask (Ghost): Yamask isn't normally one of the pokémon he would catch, but the sad look on this pokémon's face made him very sad, especially as it was wandering alone in a graveyard. So he caught it and now it lives in the manor house and scares off unwanted visitors. Vladimir takes very good care of him and makes sure that he is never alone and sad again.
Béliath :
If Beliath were a Pokémon trainer, he'd always be in town. He probably wouldn't have the ambition to become the best Pokémon trainer, but he'd often be hanging around big cities, meeting other trainers and showing off his pretty pokémon. Mind you, he wouldn't come to do battle, no, he's just there so that you'll recognise that his pokémon are the most beautiful. Fights are fun for five minutes, but then you get sweaty, the pokémon are injured and their hair is all dishevelled, and you have to go home to give them a bath - he can't do that all the time.
He's particularly fond of pretty pokémon who take care with their appearance and with whom he could parade around town without the slightest problem. The other members of the manor find this a little exaggerated, perhaps he could favour power over beauty from time to time? But, no. That's not one of Beliath's ambitions.
He doesn't have a great knowledge of the pokédex, he knows the pokémons he finds beautiful, as well as those of his friends, but the others he doesn't study and Like Vladimir, his pokémons don't have any particular character traits, so he doesn't pay much attention to that. However, all his pokémons are spoilt rotten. After all, what could be too expensive or too rare for such magnificent creatures?
Cinccino (Normal): This was the first pokémon he ever had, a gift from his sister. He spends most of his time with it, and if he had to go out with just one pokémon, it would be her. Cinccino follows him everywhere and he hasn't been separated from her once since he was a child.
Lopunny (Normal): He caught Lopunny when he was just a Buneary hiding in Vladimir's garden. He couldn't resist her adorable little face. Buneary eventually developed into a Lopunny thanks to all the care he received.
Milotic (Water): He caught him when he was just a Feebas. He had to work hard to get a magnificent Milotic, but he's very proud of him. He shows it off to everyone he meets in town.
Sylveon (Fairy): It was no surprise to anyone at the manor when his little Eevee became a pretty Sylveon. At the time, it was all he could talk about, so much so that the others almost thought they were going crazy listening to him boasting about his pokémon.
Brionne (Water): He caught Brionne when she was just a young Popplio. He loves watching her dance and sing, and her antics amuse Vladimir and Raphaël. He's only too happy to have a pokémon who can put a smile on his friends' faces.
Spritzee (Fairy): Of course he had to catch Spritzee, she gives off a wonderful scent and isn't she downright cute when she moves around? She's the latest addition to his pokémon team, he adores her and often trains her in the hope that she'll soon evolve into a wonderful Aromatisse.
Ivan :
If Ivan were a Pokémon trainer, he'd be a young trainer who's just left home and… completely lost. He doesn't really know what he wants to do; becoming the best Pokémon trainer seems to be everyone's goal, but… is it his? He doesn't know if he wants to send his pokémon into battle, it sounds mean when you put it like that and he doesn't want to be mean to his pokémon… He likes his quiet life at the manor, of course, sometimes he'd like a bit more adventure, but to go on an adventure, you have to get away from the manor and… it doesn't seem like a good idea at the moment.
His pokémons are all still very young. He hasn't had them long and he's just learning how to train them with Aaron. He still has a lot of trouble understanding all the mechanics of combat, and everything he needs to know about types and specialities seems horribly complicated. He much prefers to play in the garden or the forest with his pokémons rather than trying to train them.
He has a pretty good knowledge of the pokédex, mainly because he listens a lot to the stories Aaron tells him about the adventures he had before coming to live in the manor with Vladimir.
Eevee (Normal): This is his first pokémon and the only one in the litter not to have evolved yet. Admittedly, Ivan isn't the most motivated when it comes to training. For him, Eevee is still just a little baby and he'd hate himself terribly if anything bad happened to him.
Jangmo-o (Dragon): This is another gift from Aaron. Ivan loves him, Vladimir and Raphaël a little less, because this little pokémon is very noisy. Ivan is trying to teach him to make his scales rattle in time with the music.
Igglybuff (Normal/Fairy): It's a gift from Raphaël this time. Ivan loves to hug him whenever he feels sad, and he's made it his mission to teach him to sing. Maybe his pokémon won't be the best in battle, but does it really matter? His Igglybuff only seems interested in singing and he can't see himself forcing it to do something it doesn't like.
Vulpix (Fire) (Shiny): This was the first pokémon he caught on his own and it's also a Shiny pokémon. He had no idea until he brought it back to the manor and his housemates told him.
Pichu (Electric): He's stopped counting the number of electric shocks he's taken because of this pokémon, but it's still one of his favourites. He takes it with him wherever he goes, usually letting it climb on his shoulders.
Tinkatink (Fairy/Steel): She's the latest addition to his team. He finds her adorable and can't help thinking that she looks like a little baby with her rattle. He spends a lot of time bringing her bits of scrap metal to make her happy.
Aaron :
If Aaron were a pokémon trainer, his aim would simply be to protect his manor and his friends. In fact, that's why he trains his pokémon. He never catches his pokémon with a pokéball, in fact he hates it. He finds the idea horribly cruel. There was a time when Aaron was the best trainer in the world, but he stopped everything to go and live a more peaceful life. Sometimes trainers still come to the manor to challenge him, he usually accepts, as long as he doesn't damage Vladimir's garden.
He adopted each of these pokémons when they were just tiny little pokémons. He can't help it, if his housemates didn't stop him, he'd collect every pokémon he could find and take them to the safety of the manor. In fact, it's partly because of him that there are so many young pokémon near the manor, they know they're safe near the human and his Machamp.
Aaron often goes out into the forest to train with his pokémons and to allow them to do a bit more damage than they're allowed to do in the manor. His pokémons are mainly Hardi, Brave and Assured except Riolu, Riolu is sassy, but he's the youngest so he has all the rights.
Machamp (Fighting) : He caught this pokémon when it was just a tiny Machop. It's the pokémon he trusts most, as he uses it to protect the manor when he's away.
Mightyena (Dark): He found Mightyena when she was just a tiny, injured Poochyena. He nursed her back to health and she has lived in the manor with him ever since.
Armarouge (Fire/Psy): If he can't go out on the town with Vladimir, Raphaël or Ivan, he always asks Armarouge to accompany them. He knows that his friends won't risk anything with him and he's very proud to have such a strong, loyal pokémon.
Flareon (Fire): One night when he was walking in the woods to train his pokémons, he came face to face with a litter of Eevee. The parents were nowhere to be found and the pups seemed to be starving and sicking, so he took them home and gave one to each of them. His became a magnificent Flareon, but of course Vladimir doesn't want to see this pokémon in his garden.
Lycanroc (Rock) (Midnight form): His pokémon literally terrifies Vladimir. This tends to provoke a lot of fighting between him and Vladimir's Leavanny. Living together isn't always easy, but Aaron knows how to convince his pokémon to stay calm.
Riolu (fighting) : He's still just a baby, because it's not been long since Aaron found him. Is he his favourite little one? He won't answer the question. Of course he doesn't have a favourite, not at all, Riri is just adorable… (He's totally spoilt rotten and is probably the most temperamental pokémon in the manor).
Raphaël :
If Raphaël were a pokémon trainer, he would probably live at the manor with Vladimir but would often go out into town to meet other trainers, fight them and have fun. He's not a great pokémon trainer, he likes fighting for fun, but he's not particularly interested in being the best. His pokémons function as emotional support animals for him, especially his Togekiss, which he can't keep his hands off.
His pokémon types are mainly Fairy and Psy. Even though he loves a good fight, he's very protective of his pokémon. Listen, if you hurt his pokémon, he's more than willing to challenge you to a duel, a real sword duel between trainers with no pokémon to help you. These pokémon aren't the only ones who know how to fight, after all.
He doesn't know why, but he only attracts pokémon that are Jolly, Naive, Pressed or Shy. Aaron told him it was because he always gave off a sweet scent, but he doesn't think there's any connection.
Togekiss (Fairy/Flying): This was his very first pokémon. He got it when he was just a little Togepi. Raphaël loves it and takes it everywhere with him. He couldn't live without him anyway, and gets very anxious when he's not with him.
Houndstone (Ghost): Of course, no one at the manor is exactly reassured to see Raphaël befriending a pokémon that can suck the life energy out of its trainer. But Raphaël seems so happy with his pokémon that no one dares force him to part with it. What's more, Houndstone takes great care of Raphaël and always protects him.
Indeedee female (Normal/Psychic): This pokémon never leaves Raphaël's side. She's always with him, no matter what, and it will be very difficult to defeat her and force her to move away from her trainer.
Espeon (Psychic): Ethan was certain that the Eevee Aaron gave Raphael would become an Espeon, and he was not mistaken. Most of the time, he walks right next to Raphaël with Houdstone to guide him around the city and prevent him from tripping and hurting himself.
Swirlix (Fairy): One day Raphaël simply came home with this pokémon. No one at the manor was surprised, he looks like candyfloss, he smells like candyfloss and like Raphaël he has a passion for sweets, the only problem is that spending on sweets has doubled since he arrived.
Mimikyu (Fairy/Ghost): This is the most recent pokémon in his team. He met him in an old abandoned manor house and couldn't bring himself to leave him there, sad and alone. So he took him home to look after him. It's lucky for Mimikyu because he couldn't have found a kinder trainer. Raphaël spends an inordinate amount of time telling him what a beautiful and adorable pokémon he is.
Ethan :
If Ethan were a pokémon trainer, he'd be a doctor in a pokémon center. No, he doesn't want to be here, yes, you're boring him with your irresponsible trainer problems. Of course he'll treat your pokémons, he has no choice now that you've brought them to him. He's not a pleasant doctor, in his defense, he meets irresponsible trainers every day who hurt the adorable pokémons they swear they adore. He's got a lot to be angry about.
His pokémon are sassy or naughty... there's really nothing he can do about it. he only catches pokémon like that and it's not even on purpose. Vladimir keeps telling him it's because they're so alike and… he'd almost take it the wrong way if it weren't a bit true.
He sleeps with his pokémons around him, even if he denies it. He feels much safer with them close to him when he's asleep, and with good reason, after all: who would dare attack a trainer sleeping in the middle of his faithful pokémons?
Reuniclus (Psychic): This was his first pokémon, a gift from his parents. At the time, his pokémon was just a little Solosis, but he was already taking it everywhere with him (he used to hide it in his schoolbag when he went to school). Today, his pokémon has evolved, but it still never leaves his side.
Alakazam (Psychic): This was the second pokémon he caught at the start, it was just a little Abra, but he evolved it and it became a powerful Alakazam.
Indeedee male (Psychic/Normal): He always goes to work with Indeedee, who is a very efficient pokémon and a great help when he has to look after pokémons. What's more, he can ask her to look after the other members of the manor for him, which always reassures him.
Phantump (Ghost/Grass): He really wishes he hadn't become attached to Phantump, but he feels so guilty that he couldn't part with him even if his life depended on it.
Glaceon (Ice) : He didn't want little Eevee at first, but Aaron dropped him in his arms without giving him a choice. Of course, he's taken care of her and yes, he likes her, he can't deny it Glaceon is adorable.
Cubchoo (Ice): Initially, this was an injured wild pokémon that had been taken to his pokémon centre. He hadn't planned to keep him, but he needed constant care, so he took him to the manor to be able to look after him more easily. He keeps saying he's going to free him one day, but… he's made a place for him in his room and Cubchoo even sleeps with him, so… that's not likely to happen one day.
Neil :
He's the best trainer. Look, he can't help it, it wasn't even his basic aim, but his opponents were all… lousy, horribly lousy. He keeps letting new trainers challenge him, but he always wins. It's almost boring for him, sometimes he'd like a real challenge.
He's got two legendary pokémons and all the others are chromatic pokémons. Does he intend to get all the pokémons in the pokédex in shiny version and all the legendary ones? Yes, of course, he's not here for fun. He needs to show the world that you should fear him.
He knows the pokédex by heart, as well as all the techniques and abilities of the pokémons. He's a veritable encyclopaedia on the subject. He doesn't seem very friendly though, even with his pokémons, but that's just an appearance he gives himself. When he's alone with them he's much more affectionate, after all if they're part of his team it's because he loves and respects them a little.
Zoroark (Dark): This was the first pokémon he got, a gift from his mother, it was just a little Zorua at the time. He lived alone with it for a long time and is therefore very close to his pokémon. It's the only one in his team that isn't a shiny or a legendary. He wouldn't part with it for the world.
Umbreon (Dark) (Chromatic): He adopted him when he was just a little Eevee. He'd be lying if he said it wasn't his adorable little face that won him over. His Eevee quickly evolved into an Umbreon, and like his Zoroark, he's attached to it. This pokémon always walks beside him with a gait as proud and arrogant as its trainer.
Tyrantrum (Dragon) (Shiny): The power this pokémon exudes makes it proud. Admittedly, it's a bit destructive and it's pretty hard to get around town with it, but people are quickly frightened by its appearance and that's all that matters.
Ceruledge (Fire/Ghost) (Chromatic): Not his most impressive pokémon, but as with Umbreon and Zoroark he's very attached to it.
Xerneas (Fairy) (Legendary): This is the first legendary pokémon he's managed to catch, and he's very proud of it, often going out on the town just to parade it around. Given its size, it tends to create chaos around him, but Neil doesn't really care.
Giratina (Ghost/Dragon) (Legendary): He had a lot of trouble finding and catching it. He loves his scary appearance - he loves arriving somewhere with his pokémon right behind him and seeing people's faces slowly become terrified.
Léandra :
She doesn't want to be the best trainer, she just wants to have fun. Fighting is of course fun and she never hesitates to accept it, but she would much rather party and go to parties than spend an entire evening fighting other people.
Like her little brother, Léandra is particularly fond of beauty in her pokémons, so she likes to be able to strut her stuff with them while winning battles. But she especially enjoys helping them win beauty contests.
She's not looking for a particular type of pokémon or character, but her pokémon can all learn the Charm move.
Gardevoir (Psychic/fairy): This was the first pokémon she ever got, a little Ralts at the time. In fact, she wasn't really trying to catch pokémons at the time, just the young pokémon followed her around a bit and she finally decided to keep it with her. She looked after him a lot and he's now a powerful Gardevoir, and what she enjoys most is being able to send him to check on her little brother discreetly.
Tsareena (Grass): This is the second pokémon she's had and the first she caught on her own. She never leaves her team. It started out as a tiny Bounsweet and maybe she caught it because she had the same adorable smile as her little brother. Little by little, she evolved into a beautiful Tsareena.
Gothitelle (Psychic): She thinks she's a perfect match for her little Tsareena. These two pokémons have such an arrogant look in their eyes. In fact, she got them at the same time. She loved watching them play together when she hadn't yet evolved them. Now she almost always travels with these two pokémons beside her.
Aromatisse (Fairy): She caught it after learning that it could give off a very bewitching scent.
Vaporeon (Water) (Shiny): She didn't really expect to fall for this little pokémon, but she realised she absolutely had to have one after seeing her brother's adorable Eevee. Hers has become a Vaporeon, so she might have preferred a Sylveon like her brother, but she consoles herself by saying that at least hers is a Shiny.
Diancie (Rock/Fairy): Diancie is the youngest of her group. She had a lot of trouble getting her, but after several years she finally succeeded. She takes very good care of it, and it has quickly become her favourite.
Farah :
If Farah was a pokémon trainer, her life wouldn't change much. She would roam the forest with a group of friends, living as close as possible to wild pokémon and studying them. Becoming the best trainer wouldn't be her goal at all, but she would have fun challenging the poor innocent trainers who had only planned to go for a walk in the forest.
She knows the pokédex by heart, and even the rarest pokémons hold no secrets for her. She could spend hours telling you all about them without getting tired. Like Aaron, she never uses a pokéball to catch her pokémons and keep them with her. She doesn't like this way of doing things at all, and the mere idea of locking one of these pokémons inside a pokéball makes her anxious.
Serperior (Grass): This was the very first pokémon she ever had, a gift from her big brother after they left home. At the time, it was just a little Snivy. It was her brother who taught her how to look after it and train it. Now that her brother is gone, it's the only memory she has of him, and she'll never part with Serperior.
Lycanroc (Rock) (midday form): This was the first pokémon she ever caught on her own. At the time, it was just a tiny Rockruff and she really couldn't resist its adorable little face. She trained him a lot so that he would become powerful and be able to protect her people, and he became a powerful Lycanroc, the pokémon she trusts most to protect her pack.
Thievul (Dark): She caught this pokémon after watching the food supply disappear for several days. At the time it was just a little Nickit, but she managed to catch it and it eventually stayed to live with its pack.
Houndoom (Dark/Fire): One of the pack members' pokémon had a whole litter of Houndour, so of course Farah took one for herself. As every member of the pack has done the same as her, their camp is always very well protected.
Jolteon (Electric): He arrived at the same time as his little Deerling, the two pokémons never leave each other's side and they seem to be very popular with the older pokémons in the pack.
Deerling (Normal/Grass): People always think it's a bit strange to see a tiny Deerling around a Lycanroc, a Houndoom and a Thievul, but it was her Lycanroc that guided her to this little pokémon. It was injured and her parents were nowhere near, so Farah had originally planned to nurse it back to health and then free it, but the little pokémon hasn't left her side since she nursed it back to health.
hi, could you write a headcanon where y/n has complicated homework and asks for help from the boys and girls, thanks in advance
The boys help MC with its homework:
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
Here's the headcanons you asked! Here, I assumed that the MC was at high school. It's a parental relationship with the boys. You can assume that the MC is the biological child of one of the boys or that they simply adopted a child at some point.
I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
Vladimir had teachers hired by his parents for him and his brothers and sisters. When it wasn't one of his parents who took time out to give them lessons. So he would have preferred you to have lessons at home, rather than see you go off to see other people. After all, he's worried about you and he's never sure you'll be safe at school.
He often supervises your homework. It's not that he wants to be controlling, it's just his mother-hen side shining through. On more than one occasion, he's helped you with your homework, especially when it's maths - after all, Vladimir wouldn't hesitate to do maths for fun.
Tonight you were in a bind. You don't usually do your homework at the last minute. OK, sometimes you did, but that wasn't the case this time. You'd been working on this maths assignment for over five hours. What's more, it was a graded homework - it wouldn't have been much fun otherwise. Five hours of trying, re-trying, re-re-trying to find the solution to this problem, only to come up with a different result every time. You'd tried contacting your friends for help, but they'd all had different results too. In desperation, you stared at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling for several minutes, as if the answer might have fallen from a candle.
"MC? What are you doing up at this time of night, aren't you going to school tomorrow?
-Normally if…," you mumbled, turning your head slowly towards him.
-And why are you doing your homework at this hour?"
You looked at him silently for several seconds before sighing in the same dramatic tone Raphaël might have used.
"I'm desperate, I'll never make it. It's not a failure, it's a catastrophe. I don't have a choice now, I can't give this back tomorrow, so all I have to do is drown in the swamp or change my name and leave the country.
-For God's sake, don't talk like that, you sound like Raphaël. What can't you do in this homework? It can't be that bad.
-Everything Vava. All of it. I can't do it so well that I'm questioning my own first name. It turns out that my name isn't MC and I've been wrong all along, and maybe the rain isn't rain and the wind isn't wind… I'm not even sure that 2 and 2 make 4 any more… "
Vladimir rolled his eyes when he heard you speak before pulling up a chair to sit next to you.
"Come on, don't talk nonsense and show me that instead."
You handed him the sheet before letting your head fall dramatically back onto the table. Vladimir merely sighed before beginning to read out the instructions. There was a long moment of silence before he spoke.
"That's not this year's program.
-That's what the teacher gave us," you defend yourself immediately, "I'd like to spend my afternoons doing something other than staring at a maths paper. And… how do you know it's not on the syllabus?
-I've read the syllabus.
-Nobody reads the syllabus Vava...
-I just told you I did."
You looked at him again, one eyebrow raised in doubt, before shrugging. Yes, coming from Vladimir it was actually quite logical, of course he would read this year's syllabus.
"But… if it's not on this year's syllabus, I'll never make it! You're not going to leave me with this, are you? You've got to help me, Vava.
-I wouldn't have a problem with that…" replied the vampire.
A big smile appears on your face as you cling to his arm.
"Please help me! I'll never ask you for anything again. I'll be the quietest person in this mansion. I want to go to sleep so badly, I don't want to do maths ever again. Help me, Vava!
-I'll help you, it's OK, don't shout in my ears."
You let out a cry of joy and Vladimir winced in pain, yet he made no comment and simply started doing the calculations. He was fast, very fast, and in just a few minutes your maths exercise was finished and all you had to do was copy it onto a clean sheet of paper.
Béliath :
It was her sister who taught Beliath everything. There isn't really a school in the world of succubi, well… there is one, but only for succubi, incubi and half-demons don't have access to it. So Beliath was quite enthusiastic about the idea of enrolling you in a school. He's always the first to want gossip about your classmates and the only one who really cares.
He never helps you with your homework. It's not that he's not interested, but his level in many subjects is not excellent. For example, he has no knowledge of biology, physics or chemistry, and the only knowledge he has of history is that of the periods in which he lived, and even then he confuses a lot of things.
Tonight, you had gone to bed feeling light-headed and in good spirits at the thought of being able to enjoy your bed, its wonderful blankets and comfortable pillows. Until your conscience jolted you awake, and you scrambled for your school bag full of dread before realising that you hadn't done a maths exercise. It's not that you're not good at maths, or anything, but it's three o'clock in the morning, your mind is foggy with fatigue and you feel like you can't think straight. You look at the paper in despair, you'll never get it right, the instructions seem to be written in another language.
"MC! What are you doing up? It's three in the morning!"
You jumped and almost dropped the mobile phone you were using for light before turning to Beliath.
"You could knock before coming in!
-At three in the morning? When you're supposed to be asleep?
-Yes. And how did you know I wasn't asleep anyway?
-I saw the light under your door. I got worried.
-If someone wanted to murder me they wouldn't take the time to switch the light on first… or they'd be bloody stupid.
-I worried that you weren't feeling well, that you were ill.
-Mm. Yeah, that makes sense.
-So, what are you doing?"
You shook the sheet of paper in reply and Beliath closed the door to crouch on the floor beside you.
"What's this?" the incubus asked before turning the sheet of paper over and over, as if a secret might be lurking inside.
"My maths homework…
-And... why are you doing this homework so late?
-I forgot it! It happens to everyone! I had lots of important stuff to do and lots of other homework too. We're sweltering under homework at the moment, the teachers are trying to make us all burn out. I do so much homework that I even dream about it at night.
-You're exaggerating a bit...
-Please, Bel, help me!
-No. That's your problem. I've already got mine.
-Please, Vava will kill me! I'll be buried under her cyclamen before I can say "phew". I've already completely forgotten about last week's homework. You can't leave me like this."
Beliath sighed, but he sat down next to you again. They were hieroglyphics to him, literally, why were there letters in the middle of numbers and figures?
"Yes…. No… but. Have you seen my math level? Go and ask Vladimir.
-So you really want me dead, do you?" you ask, looking into his eyes with a serious expression.
Beliath looked at you for several seconds before rolling his eyes, no doubt you spent a lot of time with Raphaël to manage to be as dramatic as he was.
"Rah, it's OK. I'll help you… but don't expect it to be a success…"
You would have howled with joy, if you hadn't been afraid of alerting Vladimir. Beliath took your paper before starting work. He was rather slow, but little by little you managed to find the solution, even if it took you a long hour and by the end you felt as if you were constantly on the verge of falling asleep.
Ivan :
Ivan is one of the few members of the manor who actually went to public school. It's not an activity he enjoyed very much and often he would have preferred to be elsewhere. So he doesn't hesitate to cover for you when he knows you've skipped lessons. After all, he always feels sorry for you when you tell him that you still have a lesson with Mrs Delanay.
He sometimes helps you with your homework, quite often in fact. He wasn't particularly attentive in class and rarely did his homework, but that doesn't mean he didn't understand what was going on. He always got better marks in the arts, but art and music were fascinating courses, much more so than physics or chemistry…
You glanced angrily at the sheet of paper in front of you, and if it had been able to see your gaze, no doubt it would have run away to avoid your wrath… unfortunately, it was a sheet of paper, a sheet of paper with an art exercise on it. It wasn't that you weren't gifted in the subject, it was just that you had no inspiration for the subject "something scary" as your teacher had said, but well, you live with six vampires who organise blood-drinking parties in your own home, so your idea of what's scary isn't really the same as your classmates', so you're in danger of going off topic…
A desperate sigh escapes your lips as you let your head fall back against the table.
"Aren't you feeling well MC?"
You flinch as you hear Ivan's voice behind you, the vampire standing in the doorway to the living room, you shrug defeatedly.
"I've got writer's block... but for the painter... I'll never finish this project...
-Don't say that," Ivan consoles you, coming to sit next to me. What do you have to do? I was pretty good at drawing when I was at school, and Pierrick's a good teach.
You handed him the sheet of paper with the instructions on it with a sad look on your face and Ivan read it. Finally, he scratched his head before putting the sheet down again.
"Yeah, I can see the problem… your notion of scary is probably not the same as everyone else's.
-Right! What do I do now?
-We could ask Aaron…
-I have to do a drawing, an art painting, not give nightmares to the teacher and the rest of the class!
-That's true…" mumbled Ivan.
-I'm stuck… I've been at it for hours… I can't come up with any ideas, I'm struggling and yet I'm trying… What's more, thinking about it all the time makes my brain feel like it's slowing down."
Ivan nodded. He understood the problem pretty well. You were both silent for several seconds before he exclaimed.
"Oh, oh, I've got an idea!. Do the Twisted Man from Conjuring.
-The twisted man… Ivan, that's not scary…, you protest. Stopping Beliath's mother from killing us all, that was scary!
-Yes, it's not scary for you, but it could be for others. You could take inspiration from the Slenderman.
-Is the Slenderman scary?" you ask, full of doubt.
-He was very popular when I was at school, everyone told stories about him.
You sigh, it might be a good idea, if you change it enough.
-Anyway, it's not like I've got any other ideas. Let's just try this…"
You looked up reference images on your mobile phone with Ivan's help, and the vampire even went to the library for a moment to look for art books that might help you find inspiration. You stopped for a moment to look at a series of engravings depicting Dances Macabre from medieval times. Ivan made a few sketches with you to try and give you some ideas. At the end of the day, you finally had a drawing that you thought was good enough to give to your teacher.
Ivan :
Aaron never set foot in a school; his mother taught him everything. It was nice of course, but he didn't learn to read and write very well because of it and if his mother hadn't had to do the accounts for her dressmaking job, he probably wouldn't have learned to do maths. The idea of you going to a school was therefore very appealing to him. Like Vladimir, however, he was worried about your safety at school and insisted on visiting it himself. Did he frighten your teachers and classmates? Yes, a bit, but at least nobody bothers you.
He doesn't often help you with your homework. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that apart from a few history subjects, poetry and fauna and flora, he knows he doesn't have the necessary knowledge to be useful to you.
This evening you were working on a presentation given by your history teacher. "The Hundred Years' War". You were looking at the paper in front of you with some frustration. You still had a little time to finish the paper, but you wanted to get it perfect. It would, after all, be the last straw to live with vampires and fail your history presentation. You crossed your arms and groaned at your poster. This was the fourth time you'd done it and you still didn't like it. How could you talk about this war in just 10 minutes?
You sighed again, before pulling out a new poster to start all over again.
"MC? You seem annoyed tonight, is something wrong?"
You gasped as you heard Aaron's voice behind you, narrowly missing dropping your pen.
"Aaron! Don't come in like that! You'll give me a heart attack.
-Sorry," laughed the wolf, before walking over and looking at what you're working on. The Hundred Years' War… I fought in that…
-I know, you've already told me…, you turned slowly to your work before sighing again. I can't do it Aaron… I've been doing it over and over again for hours and it never satisfies me.
-You're too hard on yourself. Do you want me to help you?
-You'd help me," you exclaim, turning to Aaron.
-Of course, since I'm offering. Tell me exactly what you have to do."
Your eyes lit up at the news, Aaron is concise and to the point. You don't think you could find anyone better suited than him to help you sum up the Hundred Years' War in ten minutes or so. You explain your subject quickly and the wolf nods.
"Yes, I can see the problem, it's not easy to summarise such a war in such a short time. We'll see what we can do, don't worry. I'd start by giving a brief summary of the context, the main belligerents, then the stakes, maybe a brief aside on one of the battles, if you have time, and finally the consequences of the war.
-That would be about two minutes per subject…
-You don't have to talk about a battle if you think it's too short. The most important thing is the context, what's at stake and the consequences. For the belligerents, you can assume that the rest of your class already knows them."
You nodded before starting to look for an outline for your presentation. Aaron's advice was useful; even though he often underestimates his ability to speak eloquently, the turns of phrase he suggests have the advantage of being both beautiful and precise. Little by little, your presentation is refined, and after two hours of work it's almost entirely finished, and Aaron also seems satisfied. Once you've finished, you practise your presentation and you're right on time.
Raphaël :
He had teachers hired by his parents and learned to paint with his father. He wasn't really an attentive student, at least not when it came to anything that didn't have to do with art. He skipped a lot of lessons to go out and play with his friends and more than once fell asleep during lessons. Like Vladimir, he would have preferred you to have lessons at home, where at least he's sure you're safe. Unlike Vladimir, he totally covers for you if you skip lessons, listen, he used to do the same thing, he's not going to criticise.
Sometimes he helps you with your homework. As long as it's not maths, physics or biology. He's very knowledgeable on most subjects, but he often talks too much. You can't ask him a question without him launching into long explanations that don't really relate to your question in the end.
Tonight, you were revising one last time for your music lesson the next day, or rather for your music exam. You knew the piece by heart, you'd played it many times without the slightest mistake, but last night you couldn't do it any more. You cursed the piano with an angry growl. Why was it so difficult? It was supposed to be simple, but your fingers were getting all tangled up and making a mess of the keys.
Not wanting to admit defeat, you tried again, your fingers glided over the piano keys with a certain degree of habit, but they slipped on the last few notes, and you let out a raging howl as you barely restrained yourself from hitting the poor piano.
"MC, MC, calm down. You're too stressed to play tonight…"
You turned towards Raphaël, who had just entered the large living room.
"My exam is tomorrow, I can't stop until it's perfect," you reply immediately. "I can't present something that's only passable.
-It won't be "just passable", you're playing very well MC. But you've been playing for hours, and anyone in your place would be exhausted. I'm sure that if you take a break to relax a bit and enjoy yourself, you'll be able to do it again.
-But I can't relax at the moment," you protest. I could do it perfectly yesterday!"
At the end of your sentence, you let your head fall back to stare at the ceiling. Raphaël moves a little closer to you as he continues to speak.
"I know how frustrating it can be when you don't get to play what you want to play and I can assure you that a bit of rest can work wonders. I'll make you some hot chocolate if you like and you can tell me what fun you've had this week. When you try again later I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
-I don't have much interesting to say," you mumble wearily.
-I'm sure you're right, there's always something funny going on at your school," Raphaël smiles at you before putting a hand on your shoulder. Didn't you do a play not long ago?
-Oh no, please don't talk about this any more!" you mumble, thinking with your hands on your face.
Raphaël laughs before answering, "I'm going to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate and get some cakes, so why don't you sit down at the table and wait for me.
Raphaël left and after a sigh you decided to get up and go and sit at the table in the living room. He brought you a cup of hot chocolate while you continued to stare at the piano, as well as the little biscuits he had promised you, which were indeed your favourites. You ate them, mumbling mainly about your music lessons, before slowly changing the subject as the discussion progressed. Raphaël asked you questions about what you were doing at school and about your friends. You relaxed little by little until you were smiling again.
When you sat down again to play the piano later that evening, you managed the piece without making a single mistake.
Ethan :
Along with Ivan, Ethan is the only one who went to a state school. He was a very good pupil, without really needing to work. He always had an ability to understand things easily and he took advantage of that a lot, mainly by being inattentive in class and acting like a clown in the classroom. He thought the idea of sending you to high school was a good one, after all, you'd be bored to death if all you had for company were a bunch of boring old vampires. Like Aaron, he's only worried about the problems you might encounter, as long as none of your classmates are bothering you he's not worried.
He doesn't help you with your homework in general, unless you're having trouble with a physics, chemistry or biology assignment, but he does this by complaining (in fact, he's happy to help you, but he still hates the idea of having to do homework, even when it's not his own).
This evening, you were trying to finish a chemistry assignment… trying, because you'd been at it all morning and you'd finally got to the last exercise. You'd almost finished, which was the most important thing, but your eyes were falling out from exhaustion and you couldn't understand anything about the last exercise. It wasn't for want of trying to understand, though. You read and reread and reread the instructions, but nothing made sense any more. It was as if the instructions for the exercise had suddenly been written in a language you didn't understand.
You sighed before letting your head fall back into your arms, the thought of working even just five minutes longer made you want to cry. Why had the teacher given you such a long and complicated exercise! None of the other teachers did that, she was always the only one to make you crumble over exercises, each more complicated than the last. A third sigh escaped your lips. You still had that damned exercise to do.
"You look desperate tonight, is something wrong?"
You gasped before turning to Ethan. He was standing in the doorway looking at you. You couldn't help but sigh again before pointing to all the papers scattered on the table around you.
"I've still got a chemistry exercise to do… and I can't take it any more…
-I can see that," Ethan replies before coming closer. "Come on, show me this exercise. You're going to make a hurricane sighing like that."
You handed him the sheet, too happy to get help to think of protesting. Ethan read the instructions before frowning.
"That's a lot of work for one person," Ethan points out.
-It's because of the teacher," you answer. It's always like that with her… She gives us more homework than all the other teachers in the school put together.
-Can't you tell her that she's giving you too much work?
-If it was as simple as that I wouldn't do it…" you sigh again before slumping back in the chair. I'm fed up… I'm so tired I want to cry… plus I don't understand anything she's asking. I'm going to go crazy if this keeps up…"
Ethan looks at you as you stare exhaustedly at your work on the table. Normally he'd run away, but you look so tired he can't bring himself to do it.
"MC? How long have you been working on all this?" asks the vampire, gesturing towards your homework.
-Since this morning… "
Ethan sighs before sitting down next to you.
"Come on, give it up. I'll do the last exercise for you."
You sit up suddenly, surprised by the announcement, and exclaim.
"What?! What? Really?
-Yes, I really do. I'm not saying this as a joke and I'm only doing it because you look exhausted.
-Thank you Ethan," you sigh in relief before letting your head fall back into your arms. I could never have finished it without you."
The vampire rolls his eyes but starts to do the exercise, while you, without even realising it, have fallen asleep slumped on the table.
Neil :
Neil has always enjoyed learning things. If he'd been liked by his father, he'd probably have had much better teachers, but he had to learn a lot on his own. He wasn't really keen on the idea of you going to a school… do you really want to be around stupid, useless humans on a regular basis? He could have paid teachers to give you lessons at home… But he gave in to your demands. But you can't go to just any school! You have to go to the best private school in the area. After all, you can't just go to anyone.
He'll help you with your homework as soon as you ask, listen, he wants you to become as good as he is and it won't work if he refuses to help you or explain what he knows. What's more, he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy teaching - it's really something he enjoys.
This evening you had an essay to do on the subject of 'Thaumaturgic kings', which was no easy task for you or your classmates. You'd been staring at the paper for half an hour without coming up with a plan for your dissertation. A quick search on the internet brought you across some university articles that were far too complicated for your level of understanding. You were at lycée, not university, and understanding all the nuances of these articles was just giving you a headache.
To top it all off, the teacher gave you some sources… in old French… so largely incomprehensible, just trying to decipher the writing made you feel like you were in an Indiana Jones film. You sighed in despair, you were never going to make it, that was a certainty and you couldn't afford to fail, it was out of the question.
"MC? You look sad tonight, is something wrong?"
You turned back to Neil, who was reading on the sofa, and sighed.
"I have to do an essay, but I can't understand the subject… let alone the sources… Why did people write so badly?
-Show me what your problem is. I might be able to help."
You handed Neil the exercise sheet as he came to join you at the table, and he sat down next to you to read it carefully.
"I see… "Thaumaturgic kings" refers to the healing powers granted to the king after his coronation. It's probably a rather complicated subject for someone your age…
-I don't know what to do, the teacher told us to do something simple, but I'm already struggling to understand what's going on and the sources are illegible!"
Neil bent down to pick up the sources you were pointing out before smiling.
"It's true that I've seen better writing… and there are a lot of abbreviations… didn't your teacher transcribe it for you in a more legible way?
-No. He left us with this!
-All right, then. I'll help you then. I'll start by reading the source for you, I think that'll be easier."
You nodded before bending over the text to try to follow. It was complicated, to say the least, and you interrupted Neil several times to try and understand certain abbreviations. Neil explained them to you patiently and little by little you even managed to decipher certain words.
"Wait, wait," you interrupted suddenly. Did you say Jean?
-Yes.
-But wait, Jean, it wasn't written like that before.
-Yes, it was. That's the problem with this kind of text - the spelling wasn't fixed.
-Not fixed, not fixed, there are limits after all, he could have decided on a way of writing it and stuck to it.
Neil laughs at your confusion before showing you another spelling a little further down the text.
"It's written in a different way here".
You sigh, a little disappointed by such unstable spelling, before continuing to listen to Neil.
You work on your essay together for a while longer, gradually understanding the subject better and better, and coming up with a plan for your essay no longer seems insurmountable. You quickly finish the work before going out for a walk in town with Neil.
Léandra :
She went to a sort of school for succubi when she was a child. It wasn't her favourite thing to do and most of the time she just skipped classes. Most things she learned from her mother or other older succubi. She was a bit put off by your idea of wanting to go to a school because… well it's not the most fun place in the world, but she gave in after all, if that's all it takes to please you.
She doesn't often help you with your homework. More often than not, she doesn't really understand it. Her knowledge of many human subjects is rather vague and she doesn't see the point in going into it any further. Occasionally, when she's in a good mood or the subject interests her, she'll come to you and try to help, although this is quite rare, but her help is always appreciated.
This evening you were working on an exercise that your art teacher had given you. You had to work on a painting about Julius Caesar, more precisely the painting : The Assassination of Julius Caesar by Karl Theodor Von Piloty. The painting was rather interesting, but you didn't really know how to talk about it. No matter how hard you looked for information about the painter, you couldn't find any. You sighed as you continued your search.
"Who's that guy?"
You jumped as Léandra appeared behind you, pointing at César on the painting.
An emperor," you reply.
-And… it's normal for him to be assassinated?
-Well, given that is Caesar… yes."
Léandra remains silent for a moment, shaking her head, seemingly deep in thought, then continues.
"It was the Roman emperor who had sex with Cleopatra? Was it?
-Yes, that's it," you answer.
The discussion ends and You continue to look through the books while Léandra stands around you without moving, finally you turning round once more to ask her.
"Do you want anything?
-What should you do with this painting?
-A presentation.
-Sounds boring… can't your teacher teach you to paint instead? That would probably be more fun.
-No… Are you going to stand over my shoulder for much longer? If you've got nothing better to do, you can help me, you know?"
You had proposed the idea without the slightest hope that Léandra would accept, and yet to your astonishment, she sat down at the table next to you before looking at you.
"What do you want me to do?
-Um… I need to gather some information about the painting and the painter to do my presentation… but it's a bit complicated, I can't find much…
-Okay, I'll help you. "
You continued to stare at Leandra as she suddenly started rummaging through the books for you. It was rather unusual, to be honest, and it took you several seconds to manage to concentrate again on the book you were reading before she interrupted you.
In the end, with Léandra's help you found a lot more information than if you'd searched on your own. It didn't take you long to write your talk and set up the power point for the presentation. And once you'd finished everything, Léandra invited you to go out with her into town so that you could finally have some fun.
Farah :
Farah learnt everything she needed to know from her older brother after they left the family. She learned to read and write from him, and he taught her all about flora and fauna and how to look after herself. So when you told her you wanted to go to a high school, she was all for it. But it was a bit complicated, the pack travels a lot and you couldn't travel with them while studying. So she rented you a small flat near the school and visits you every weekend to see how you're doing.
She will help you with your homework whenever she can, but can only do so at weekends. Farah is always happy to do this for you. She is, of course, much better at helping you with subjects such as flora and fauna or history. However, if she doesn't master something in particular, she can always find a member of the pack to help you.
This evening, you sat in your living room with your homework, waiting for Farah to arrive. You were working on an exercise about the beginnings of human agriculture. It wasn't as easy as you had initially hoped, and little by little your mind was getting muddled. You jumped when you heard the front door open and rushed to meet Farah, who was calling you.
"Farah!" you exclaimed with palpable joy. "I thought you'd get here later!
-We walked faster than I expected," smiled the werewolf. How was your week? Have you got a lot of homework today? I thought I'd take you shopping with the pack when you'd finished."
-I've been working for hours on an exercise on the beginnings of human agriculture.
-I see. Do you need any help?
You quickly looked over all the work you still had to do. Of course, you were capable of doing it on your own, but it had been so long since you'd spent time with the pack and Farah that the idea of spending the day on homework instead of having fun depressed you. You nodded.
"Yes, please!"
-All right, I'll help you then. The sooner it's done, the sooner we can go and enjoy ourselves."
Farah followed you into the living room, smiling, and you sat down around the table. As you worked, you told her what you had done during the week.
"Are you having a good time at high school at the moment?
-Yes, we are. We're preparing a play! We haven't decided which one we're going to do yet, but we can choose between : Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland.
-Well, that sounds like fun, I hope you'll let me know when we can come and see it with the pack.
-Oh no, Farah, I'm going to get noticed if you all come."
The she-wolf laughed in amusement at your reaction, before resuming a few seconds later.
-You can ask Willie if you're nervous. He used to perform on stage when he was still human, so he knows how to deal with that sort of thing."
You nodded as you continued your homework, and with Farah's help it only took you an hour to finish it all. You left shortly afterwards to join the pack and go shopping together.
Hi ! Can you do headcanons about Vladimir and how he is/act with mc in the romantic relationship with them (Only if you want to of course :) ) I hope you have a great day/night ! <3 PS: I love to read your headcanons they ere so good ! :D
Vladimir with MC with in the romantic relationship :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
I'm glad you like my headcanons! ^^
Here's the headcanons you asked! I hope you enjoy it! ^^
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
---------
It's quite complicated for him at the beginning of your relationship. Sometimes he still has a bit of trouble realising that you're really together and that it's not just a dream. Vladimir had long since written off the idea of ever having a partner. So he often needs reassurance that you love him.
He doesn't know how to behave with you at the beginning of the relationship. Can he give you an affectionate nickname? Can he give you a hug? Can he hold your hand? He'll try little things, like brushing his fingers against yours in the library when you're alone to see how you react. If you take his hand in yours, he'll turn as red as a tomato.
He's too embarrassed at first to show you any affection in public. Of course, he wants to hug you and kiss you, but… that wasn't done at all in his day. It's very unsettling to realise that he can be more tactile nowadays. Gradually he's changing that, he still finds it hard to kiss or hug you if someone is likely to see you and laugh, but more often takes your hand in his and sometimes even leans in to kiss your cheek.
He becomes much more tactile when you're alone. He loves to hug you and kiss you, but he loves it even more when you hug him and kiss him. Sometimes he even wishes he could never be forced to leave your embrace.
So he always sleeps snuggled up next to you. It's reassuring in a way, feeling your breathing and your heartbeat calms him down a lot. He feels loved and it's important for him to know that he really matters to someone - he'd never have thought that possible before he met you.
Vladimir likes to write and he writes a lot, even if he doesn't dare show it to you at the beginning of your relationship. Gradually, however, he lets you read some of the things he's written. These are mainly romances and love poems (he writes even more now that he's in a relationship with you).
He's someone who blushes a lot, so when you flirt with him, there's always a lovely flush that quickly settles on his cheeks, before he rushes to hide his face behind his hands or hair.
If you don't know how to waltz, he'll be happy to teach you. He'll be less keen on the idea of you teaching him to dance modern dances, but… if you promise not to tell anyone in the manor about it, he may give in to please you.
If you agree to wear clothes from his era one day, he won't be able to stop blushing. Look, you're gorgeous in it and he feels like he could die of happiness just by seeing you.
He loves spending evenings reading with you in front of the fireplace. Whether you each read a different book or sit next to each other reading the same book is fine with him as long as he can spend time with you.
He also likes to just lie down with you and do nothing in particular. He could spend hours listening to you talk about whatever you want or just enjoying the silence with you.
If he felt more secure about going out in the city, he'd invite you to restaurants more often. Unfortunately, a single outing tends to exhaust him and he needs several days to recover each time - modern cities are really too noisy.
Even if he can't cook very well, he'll be happy to cook with you. Of course, you'll have to supervise everything to make sure you end up with something edible, but he'll have lots of fun.
He loves to hear you laugh, it's a wonderful sound for him and he feels he can never get enough of it.
He never asks you, but he needs to be reassured about his looks. Vladimir doesn't think he's very pretty and all the compliments you give him reassure him enormously.
MC meets the mansion boys after Neil's neutral ending:
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
I had a request on the subject, but it got lost, fortunately it was noted in my word file folder. For this version of the story, the boys (Vladimir and co) didn't settle in MC's parents' manor. MC met Neil on her own and left her parents' manor after Neil left, and she settled with the boys while waiting for him to return.
Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^
Vladimir :
Vladimir is very suspicious at first. He doesn't understand how you can have such good control over yourself when you claim to have been transformed into a vampire barely a year ago. He remembers his first year of transformation well enough and still feels unstable enough to make it seem impossible. After all, despite being almost 150 years old, he still wants to attack humans when he feels strong emotions.
He knows that Aaron is very suspicious of you and that worries him a bit, to tell you the truth. He doesn't really know how to react when you're with him, seriously, he feels he has less self-control than you do. And yet, despite your impressive abilities, you don't seem to want to do them any harm. That's the only reason he agrees to put you up… and also because you told him you'd be alone if he didn't. He knows that solitude is too much to bear, and if he can help you avoid it, then he will.
Finally, as time goes by, they begin to trust you. You help them a lot around the manor, whether it's with day-to-day tasks such as tending the garden, or more complex tasks such as managing the visitors at the Beliath celebrations in helping them manage Ivan.
What's more, you're quite calm and friendly. He feels safe with you if he thinks it's a bit ridiculous, because you're the one who should feel safe with him. He's the older of the two of you, he's the one who should be protecting you if anything goes wrong.
Finally, he finds it pleasant to spend time with you. You seem to know a lot and you're a curious person. You listen to him when he has things to say and you ask him questions about his garden. In fact, you always seem to be looking for something new to learn and he must admit that he really likes that.
When you tell him that you have been transformed by an ancient vampire, he is both frightened and impressed.
He sometimes asks you questions about your partner. He's quite curious, even if he doesn't want to admit it, and he wonders why he left you alone. He thinks he wouldn't like to be separated from the person he loves. He often tries to cheer you up or make you smile when you seem to miss your partner.
Béliath :
He didn't really know how to react to you at first. You remind him a little of Ethan when he first met him, curious, perceptive, not easily impressed. However, Ethan was a very unstable young vampire, yet older than you are now. You shouldn't be able to control yourself so easily. Beliath is certain of that.
Maybe it's a bit scary… or impressive, he can't make up his mind at the moment and he's mainly relying on Aaron's reaction to know what to do and Aaron… well, Aaron's suspicious of you too. He's still friendly though, it's not his habit to be unpleasant with people he's just met.
He takes you to the Moondance, mostly out of curiosity at first, he's impressed by how easily you resist blood. A human cuts himself with a glass, and you simply raise your head in his direction, intrigued by the smell but without the slightest intention of attacking him.
You also have the same hypnotic abilities as Raphael and for a vampire your age, that's really impressive. He'd never seen anything like it in anyone else. He knows that it normally takes several years to reach such a level, but when he talks to you about it, you tell him that you've learned to do it instinctively.
He's also impressed by your hunting and fighting skills. You make it look as if you've been doing it all your life. And once again, you simply reply that whoever taught you was a very good teacher.
You talk very little about your past and even if he's curious, he doesn't try to broach the subject most of the time. When you tell him that you've been transformed by an Elder, he understands your abilities better. There aren't many Elders alive these days, so you've taken your first steps into vampiric life with one of the best of his kind.
He asks you questions about your partner from time to time, and he's quite perceptive, so it's fairly easy for him to understand that your partner is the ancient vampire who transformed you. However, he has a much harder time understanding why you've split up for the time being, and it's even more incomprehensible to him when you tell him that you're not separated, but that you're simply waiting for him to come back and see you.
Ivan :
Ivan feels really stupid compared to you. You were able to accompany Beliath and Ethan to the Moondance without the slightest difficulty, whereas he always feels on the verge of cracking up when he goes out on the town. In fact, you don't seem to have any difficulties that a young vampire should have and when he asks you how you did it you simply reply that you've had a very good teacher.
He knows that Aaron and Beliath are a little wary of you because of your extraordinary abilities, but that's not what concerns him most. Ivan is jealous.
He thinks it's really unfair. Aaron is also a very good teacher, he's put a lot of effort into helping him become a better vampire and he continues to do so. Yet he still hasn't reached your level even though he was transformed before you. He is a little unpleasant with you at the beginning of your relationship because of his jealousy. He sulks a bit when you're around and often looks for mistakes you might make to reassure himself of his abilities.
He would have liked to meet a young vampire with difficulties like him, not a vampiric prodigy. He's even more jealous when he sees that you have the same hypnotic abilities as Raphael. You seem to be able to do it with disconcerting ease, it's almost as if it's instinctive for you and when he asks you how you learned and you tell him that it really did come to you instinctively… he feels really sad.
He gradually calmed down after being with you every day and when he noticed that you tried to help him several times by giving him advice on hypnotising others or hunting. Your advice is very good indeed, and he feels he's making faster progress with it.
Finally, he's a bit more interested in you and what you were doing before you were transformed. He even finds it quite enjoyable to spend time with you. The others in the manor are all much older than him and because of that he couldn't understand some of the jokes or references he was making. It's fun to finally be able to joke with someone who understands what he's saying.
He really doesn't understand why you're not trying to find your partner, even when you explain that he's asked you for a bit of space. It seems inconceivable to him, you must miss him, right? Why don't you go looking for him instead of waiting for him? You really avoid broaching the subject with him, he'd almost manage to put doubt in your mind about the fact that Neil's coming back and yet you know Neil's coming back.
Aaron :
You didn't tell him who had transformed you, but Aaron quickly realised that there was something wrong with you. After all, you're a young vampire, a year old, you told him, but you seem to have as much control over yourself as Beliath or Raphael. It's not normal, you should have been like Ivan, unstable, really unstable, in the grip of your emotions and always on the verge of going on a rampage.
Aaron sees only two explanations for this, either you're lying and you're much older than you want to admit, or you've been transformed by an elder. He doesn't like the first idea, because if you're lying, you're potentially hiding something that could put others in danger, and he doesn't like the second idea either, because if there's one thing he's learnt in his life as a vampire, it's that it's much safer to stay away from anything remotely related to elders.
However, you don't seem to wish them any harm, despite the fact that you possess the same power as Raphael and that it would therefore be very easy for you to make them do what you want. He doesn't stop being suspicious though, he keeps asking you where you came from and why you've been transformed. You don't answer his questions out of caution, after all, you don't know if Neil had any enemies nearby and you don't want to take any risks.
It took several weeks for you to tell him about your transformation, but eventually you told him that you had been transformed by a former vampire who had trained you before leaving to continue his life elsewhere. You never gave his name, but your explanation seemed to be enough for Aaron.
He really enjoys sparring with you. Unlike Ivan or Ethan, you're a quick learner, very quick indeed. You're a little harder to beat with each sparring session and you don't tire easily. He's worried that in a while he won't be able to do it any more, because it's quite frightening to see how quickly you've assimilated his fighting habits and turned them against him and… he understands what your former vampire might have liked about you. After all, not everyone is capable of possessing your adaptability.
He also likes to go for walks with you in the forest at night. He remembers that the first few times he took Ivan with him into the forest, the young man would jump at the slightest noise, but you move through the forest as if it belonged to you. You're impressive and he can't deny that he really enjoys it. After all, he's not constantly worried about you getting hurt in a fight and you seem perfectly capable of defending yourself. Whoever trained you to be a vampire, Aaron thinks they must be powerful.
It's quite rare that you talk about your partner, so Aaron didn't find out about her until several months later. He's quite curious about her. What kind of person could have attracted the attention of a vampire as exceptional as you? Your partner must be out of the ordinary too.
Raphaël :
He's not suspicious of you at all. After all, maybe you're lucky. He, too, had great control over himself as a young vampire. Margarita was very impressed by his abilities and couldn't stop congratulating him on his self-control. In fact, he was very proud of it, and although he found it hard to admit, he couldn't stop boasting about it to Alessio. He thinks Aaron is exaggerating a bit with you and that he shouldn't worry so much.
Raphaël often comes to spend time with you. He finds you a pleasant person with an inquisitive and intelligent mind. You understand things easily and ask interesting questions that he's always happy to answer.
He's also delighted that you're interested in fighting. Raphaël loves teaching fencing to the people around him, so he's more than happy to teach you how to fight with his favourite weapon. What's more, you're a quick learner, which is really impressive - he's never met anyone capable of learning so easily.
He's also impressed by your ability to hypnotise people. He learned very early on how to do it, almost instinctively, so when you tell him how you instinctively knew how to hypnotise the man at the bar, he's delighted. At last he meets someone who understands what he's saying.
He's a little surprised when he hears that you've been transformed by an ancient vampire. After all, there aren't many ancient vampires left alive, so the fact that you could have been transformed by one of them is almost a sign of destiny for him, you're destined to do great things, he's no doubt about it.
He's a bit surprised when he hears about your partner for the first time after several months. He has a bit of trouble understanding how you manage not to talk about him more often and how you manage not to miss him. When he was separated from Margarita, he couldn't stop talking about her to everyone, she was his main topic of discussion and the person he thought about most. He wants to know more about your partner, how you met? What he does? Why isn't he with you? It's not that he's curious, but he really finds it hard to understand why you're not together.
Ethan :
He's only suspicious because Aaron and Beliath are suspicious. If it wasn't for the two older ones, he'd be more impressed by your abilities. He's well aware that your abilities are abnormal compared to him or Ivan. He still finds it hard to control his desire for blood when he feels strong emotions and he knows that it will be many years before he achieves the same level of control as the others.
But, even though he's wary, he can't really help hanging around you. Even when he's talking about something complex you always manage to follow the discussion and, unlike the others, he never thinks the questions you ask are stupid. It's really nice because it's the first time in a long time that he feels he can talk to someone without having to simplify things to be understood.
He was impressed by the control you had over yourself at the Moondance, at first he wasn't as confident as Beliath about letting you come with them, but eventually you impressed him. In fact, it's strange to say, but you seem to have been born to be a vampire. Everything they do and take years to learn it takes you much less time to assimilate.
Your hypnotic abilities are even more frightening after having convinced you to try it on him and seeing that you had succeeded. He didn't tell the others about it, because he feels a bit like he'd done something stupid by asking you to hypnotise him, but he was really so impressed that it took him several seconds before he managed to get a few words out.
When he learns that you have been transformed and trained by a vampire elder, he understands much better why you seem so adapted to the world of the night. Aaron and the others have told him enough about the elders for him to know that they are just as much threats as they are powerful beings. If he transformed you, it's probably because he saw a potential in you that the others didn't have.
He's also a bit curious when he realises that you're already in a relationship. Although he quickly realises that you're probably in a relationship with the vampire who turned you. He'd like to know why you're not together because he thinks it's rather strange, but you never answer his question honestly and you seem to have a lot of fun leaving him in doubt. But, it's not a problem, he loves mysteries and takes it as a challenge to discover your secret.
Léandra :
You met her by chance when you were wandering around town looking for something fun to do to pass the time. Léandra immediately realised that you were a vampire, and although she had originally planned to hypnotise you for a bit of fun, she was very disappointed when she realised that it didn't work on you at all. It's not really normal, succubi are more powerful than vampires after all, they're real demons whereas vampires are just modified humans for the most part.
Disappointed, but intrigued. She's started spending time with you, trying to understand you. You spend a lot of time together. Léandra is good company, she doesn't ask you questions about your past and just wants to have a good time. It's nice because you feel much less alone with her.
As time goes by, she's very impressed by your abilities, so much so that she didn't believe you at first when you told her you were a young vampire. In fact, she didn't even think it was possible, as the few young vampires she's met are so unstable that spending time with them is an ordeal. They always end up attacking passers-by and ruining even the most entertaining evenings.
You, however, have the self-control that makes you a pleasure to be around and you seem to understand a lot about the world of night quite instinctively. She knows that in a few years' time, you'll no doubt be one of the most powerful vampires around, and that's impressive - after all, it's not every day you meet people like you.
Over time, she becomes very intrigued by the person who has transformed you, but despite all her insistence and all the promises she makes to you to tell her his name, you never answer her question.
You seem ready to protect your secret tooth and nail. She stops insisting after a while, especially when she notices that her insistence is starting to irritate you. After all, you don't seem to have been turned by just anyone, and your stubbornness in protecting your secret is worrying enough for her to know that it's best to withdraw.
Farah :
You found yourself hanging around his pack by chance. You were roaming the forest looking for something interesting to do when you came across the clearing where his pack had set up camp. They invited you to spend some time with them, and as you had nothing better to do, you accepted.
It was a very pleasant evening, you listened to music, the members of the pack told you horror stories around the fire and Farah even took a packet of marshmallows out of her rucksack. Finally, you told them that you were a young vampire passing through town and didn't really know where to spend your time. They readily offered to let you spend some time with them, and you agreed.
You often visit the pack and Farah gets on quite well with you, although she is very intrigued by the control you seem to have over yourself. She can't remember ever having met a young vampire like you, which is impressive, but as you don't seem to have any ill intentions towards them, she's not worried.
You often accompanied her on walks in the forest or on patrols around the camp. You seem to be a very inquisitive person and you always listen carefully to any advice she gives you. This is something she appreciates, even more so when you ask her questions about things you haven't quite understood or things that intrigue you. It's always nice to meet someone who's curious and likes to learn new things, so she's always happy to answer your questions.
She also enjoys sparring with you, you're a quick learner, much quicker than the average person, and you're quick to reproduce the fighting techniques she teaches you. She never ceases to be intrigued by you, of course, you're far too different from the usual young vampires not to be intriguing and she'd like to know who turned you and why he left you alone when you seem to have so many more questions to ask.
However, she never asks you about him. You don't seem to want to talk about who turned you, and you wouldn't be the first of the pack to have secrets you don't want to talk about anyway. As long as you're not a danger to them, she sees no reason to ask you any questions.
