holy shit this app is a cesspool of mischaracterization and terrible writing😭😭
especially in the DC tags. the WORST writing i’ve seen. “neglected reader”🥺🥺🥺 jesus christ😭😭 it’s always the same concept, nothing new. don’t even get me started with the way these 30+ year old women butchered jason’s character. giving him the “booktok, motorcycle, café daddy” vibes.
tim being the “tech savvy” one when oracle is literally right there. there’s a literal conversation between the two of them where tim is impressed by barbara’s ability in technology
and it’s a miracle if duke is mentioned. we ALL know why he is left out👀👀👀
i beg of you. for the love of god, pick up a comic book or play some of the games. be cognitive of the people you are writing.
Imagine watching the movie *Shrek* with first-years.... You used to watch a movie together as a group on weekends but sherk was a mistake.
The very second the Donkey-Dragon scene plays out, Ace opens his mouth and says something stupid, like "Oh hey, MC, that's just like you," or "Is this a documentary about what you and Malleus do on your evening walks?"
Sebek doesn't apperiate this at all...
Ace is never going to let you hear the end of this, btw :D
Character(s): Riddle, Leona, Azul, Kalim, Vil, Idia, and Malleus
Summary: What if you were his childhood friend?
Tag(s) and warning(s): GN!Reader, fluff, platonic but can be read as romantic, reader is NOT Yuu, a bit depressing for the character's part (not too serious)
Note: I initially plan to make you two a normal pair of childhood friends, but my stupid brain is acting up midway and makes it seems like he has a one-sided crush on you. I still hope you enjoy, though (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ
1. Riddle Rosehearts
Most of the Heartslabyul students are jealous of you. You are the only person who can (accidentally) break the rules of the Queen of Hearts and then get away with only a light scolding from the Housewarden.
There had once been a student who dared to say that Riddle played favorites on you, but then the red tyrant got angry and they ended up getting collared for a whole week. The punishment actually could have lasted much longer, but you who heard the news took pity on the student and asked Riddle to release him. That student is now a living example of what can happen to people who dare to comment on how Riddle treats you. Now, almost everyone knows how important you are to Riddle.
Every time you come to visit Heartslabyul, the students there will automatically lead you to Riddle without paying attention to your reason for visiting. You find it a little amusing, the way their faces light up whenever they see you before trying to get you to Riddle as quickly as possible, it's as if they have found a savior who can save them from a calamity called Riddle Rosehearts. You can't blame them, they became like that after noticing that every time Riddle's with you, he will be a bit lenient in giving punishment to the rulebreaker because his attention is too preoccupied on you.
When an Unbirthday Party was being held, you would definitely be invited and there's a special seat that has been arranged just for you, which is right beside Riddle's own seat. There's an unwritten rule that says the first slice of cake belongs to the Housewarden. But, since the cake belonged to Riddle now and that rule wasn't exactly written down on paper, then there's no harm in letting you have the first bite, right? In his defense, Riddle claimed that he didn't break the unwritten rule. The first slice of cake was indeed his, he just let you have the first bite.
If you have trouble understanding a certain subject, fret not because you have Riddle to tutor you. Once school was over, you two would have a study session in Riddle's room. Accompanied by tea and Trey's handmade cakes, Riddle will teach you with the patience he has never shown to anyone but you. Every time you answer correctly a question he gives, Riddle will give you a spoonful of Strawberry Pie from his plate. And if you answered wrong, Riddle will explain it again from the beginning until you fully understand it. This pattern will continue to repeat until finally all the questions are answered or the strawberry pie on his plate runs out.
Amidst his busy life as Heartslabyul's Housewarden, Riddle would always try to spend more time with you. Like; accompanying you to walk to school, talking briefly with you when you two pass each other in the hallway, having lunch together in the cafeteria, and when school is over, he'll wait for you so both of you can go back together to Heartslabyul and have a private tea party.
Whenever he's feeling stressed and exhausted, somehow you always show up at the right time and give him the comfort he's looking for. The two of you would spend time together in his room, with Riddle resting his head on your thighs while your fingers trace the soft strands of his hair. Accompanied by your gentle hum, Riddle then decided to rest for a bit together with his childhood friend before continuing his work later.
2. Leona Kingscholar
Rather than calling yourself Leona's childhood friend, you actually feel more like his personal assistant, considering how much work you have been doing for that lazy lion.
Together with Ruggie, you two were entrusted by the teachers to bring Leona back to class every time he skips class. But knowing Ruggie, he will surely let you handle it all while he himself returns to class to study (he would rather not waste his school fees, okay?). Left all alone, now start your journey, trying to find Leona. You already know where Leona is, but first you need to go to the cafeteria to buy some meat which you plan to use as an 'offering' so (hopefully) he will go back to class with you.
Every time you pick Leona up from his napping place, usually there will be two possible endings. The first one was that he will accept your 'offerings' and go back to class with you, although begrudgingly and full of complaints all the way to the class, then continue his nap in class, which makes you heave a long, weary sigh. While the other one is, he pulls you to accompany him to take a nap together, where you will be his pillow and also his partner in crime considering now you also skip the class together with him.
Even though he never shows it, Leona secretly loves watching you bustle around doing things for him. From cleaning his room, cooking for him, doing his laundry, and other menial work. Ruggie would do all that work for his money, meanwhile, you do all of that out of concern for your lazy childhood friend. It makes Leona feel as if you put him in as your priority that's more important than anything else, it makes Leona feel smug.
Every beastman in school knows better than to pick a fight with you. Never mind fighting, they shouldn't even talk rudely to you. If they dared to do so, then they should be prepared to face Leona's wrath. In Leona's mind, you who are his childhood friend are a part of him. Offending you means offending Leona as well, and Leona won't take it well.
But no matter how your patient is, sometimes you can also get annoyed with Leona's endless laziness. So, you will wake the lion up from his sleep and tell him to do his own business himself. And since it's Leona, of course he refuses and will try to go back to sleep, but you're not going to let him have that peaceful sleep until he finished all his works. The two of you then will start squabbling about it for a bit while the other Savanaclaw students will stare at you in amazement, for you're the only daring one to scold their lazy of a Housewarden. If it were anyone else, their Housewarden would probably kick that person away the moment they disturbed his sleep.
In your eyes, Leona is no different from an overgrown cat. Whenever Leona's mood gets worse, he will look for you and take you to his room to accompany him to sleep. You didn't try to cheer him up, you knew all Leona needed now was just your company, so you started telling him about your daily life and other interesting things you encountered today. And whether you realize it or not, Leona never sleeps even though his eyes are closed. He listens to all your stories in silence without missing a word. For him, your voice is far more effective in calming his nerve than sleeping.
3. Azul Ashengrotto
In the Mostro Lounge, there is one special table that no one is allowed to sit on, no matter how much they are willing to pay for it. If someone tries to occupy it by force, then they would come face to face with one of the Leech brothers and be banned from entering Mostro Lounge again. That table was specially prepared by Azul just for you, his most beloved childhood friend. Every time you visit Mostro Lounge, Azul will drop anything he's currently doing just to greet you personally and help you order your favorite menu.
Contrary to what people think, Azul doesn't give you free food just because you're his childhood friend. You still have to pay for your meal, but Azul doesn't mind giving you a little discount. And when I say he gives you a little discount, it means he will give you several discount coupons that you can stack with other discount coupons with a maximum of 100%. But in exchange for the coupon he gave you, you have to keep this nice thing a secret from the other customers. Because truth to be told, Mostro Lounge doesn't accept stacking discounts, but since you're his childhood friend, Azul doesn't mind making a little exception for you.
At school, you were always seen together with the three infamous Octavinalle's students or at least one of them, mainly Azul. Because of that, there are rumors going around saying that you are also involved in some kind of shady business alongside the three. You aren't concerned with the rumours, but Azul does. He would send the twins to find the person who spread the rumor and teach them a lesson or two about how one should not just jump to conclusions without any real evidence. People can talk shit about him and he couldn't care less. But talk shit about you, and Azul will take it personally.
Every time Mostro Lounge wants to add a new menu, Azul will call you to be the taster. If he sees you enjoying the new menu, then that same night the menu will already be on the Mostro Lounge menu list.
Since you're Azul's childhood friend, it's not surprising that you're also good friends with the Leech brothers. Together with Jade and Floyd, you three have fun teasing Azul. But different from the Leech brothers, who will be given additional work if Azul manages to get angry, you will only end up with a long scolding from the businessman.
Even so, you still feel a little guilty for making Azul angry. You know Azul usually has a fair amount of patience, but if he gets angry, it means the jokes you three makes have gone a bit too far. Hence, you volunteered to help out at the Mostro Lounge. Azul is a little touched by your sentiments. You have always been very caring and concerned with his feelings, ever since childhood. Well, that side of you is the main reason why you're Azul's favorite person.
But as a businessman, who is Azul to turn down the chance you're giving him? Since you asked for it yourself, then he won't be lenient in giving you orders. This resulted in you ending up in the VIP room, sitting on one of the soft sofas, cookies and tea served on the table in front of you, while Azul sits at his desk and goes through his documents. Azul has indeed given you one task, which is to sit quietly and accompany him to work until the closing time.
Azul is the type of person who is full of preparation and planning. It made him feel secure, knowing that he was ready to take on anything. But if something goes wrong and out of his expectations, Azul will become very frustrated and all he wants is nothing but to crawl back into his octopus pot. It was times like these that the twins would turn Azul over to you. Their childhood experiences have taught them that once Azul entered his octopus pot, only you can persuade him to come out. You won't blatantly coax Azul out because the first time you do it, Azul actually hides deeper into his octopus pot. So to solve this problem, you're going to sit outside his octopus pot for a few moments without speaking a word, giving him alone time while still reminding Azul that you're there for him. After a long enough silence, you will start talking about random things to completely turn his attention to you and forget his frustration. For a while, you will continue to talk alone, but you keep telling stories until finally, Azul starts responding to your words one by one. Azul realizes that all the topics you choose to talk about are completely useless, but oddly enough, he doesn't mind hearing all your ramblings at all. When he is finally back to normal, he will pop himself out of his octopus pot and act as if nothing happened. But the next time you visit the Mostro Lounge, Azul will treat you to a free meal as his token of gratitude.
4. Kalim Al-Asim
Even though you are not a servant of the Asim family like Jamil, but you still insist on taking care of Kalim because he is a sunshine boy who must be protected at all cost.
Usually, people will see you hanging out together with Kalim, with or without Jamil. You are the only person Jamil trusts to look after Kalim when he is too busy doing other things.
Kalim loves to tell you numerous things, from the big news he heard from Cater in club-meeting to the little things like how sleepy he was during Professor Trein's class. You always listen attentively to him, while occasionally giving a response as a sign that you pay attention to his story.
Kalim also likes to gift you random objects he found at shop. He said they reminded him of you, so he reflexively bought them and wanted to give them to you. Because of his habit, Jamil often scolds him and constantly tries to remind him not to buy things spontaneously. But did Kalim stop? No.
Everyone knows Kalim likes to throw parties, but when it comes to you, Kalim hopes to always throw a party for you if Jamil doesn't forbid it. Did you get a good grade on Professor Crewel's pop quiz? It's time to party! Did you get coach Vargas' praise for doing a zigzag flight? It's party time! Are you sad because your favorite novel character died? A party will make you feel better!
Look, Jamil is grateful that you often accompany Kalim so that he can focus more with another work, but can you stop agreeing to all of Kalim's requests?! What do you mean you can't say no to him?! What do you mean his twinkling eyes look so mesmerizing that you forgot to say no?! Great Sevens, please give Jamil's more patience to face your and Kalim's stupidity.
Kalim is the epitome of the sun itself, he is always optimistic and cheerful. But that doesn't mean his life is always smooth, sometimes Kalim can also feel down. If that's the case, Kalim will usually sneak out of the dorm using his magic carpet and then go to your place to invite you to join him. Flying his magic carpet and spending time with you is Kalim's best way to relieve stress.
5. Vil Schoenheit
Initially, little Vil didn't want to be your friend because he thought you were ugly (you're not, it's just Vil's standards that's too high). But the little you have been fascinated by his ethereal beauty, so you constantly try to pester him. Being a child, you can only praise Vil's beauty with a limited vocabulary. Like how clear his eyes are, how pink his lips are, how beautiful his hairstyle is, how melodious his voice is, and other little things you like about Vil. No one has ever praised him like that, so little Vil accepted you as his friend on the condition that you have to constantly compliment him, honestly and sincerely.
And that's what you've been doing until now. But even as a grown up, you still prefer to compliment Vil's beauty with straightforward words because you think it sounds more sincere than long poetic words. Vil says it's a stupid thought, but deep down he'd rather you keep praising him like that because your simple compliments are always better to hear than empty flattery people give to him to curry his favor.
As a result of having Vil as your childhood friend, your beauty standards have been greatly affected. When other people compliment someone as handsome/pretty, you can only awkwardly nod your head, even though in your heart you are trying to find which part of that person is handsome/beautiful. They didn't even have a thousandth of the charisma that Vil had! How can people call him handsome/beautiful? Do they have a problem with their eyes? (No, it's just your standards that's been raised very high by Vil).
Every time Vil becomes a model for a brand, usually he will share the products he got with you. And if the film he's starring in is coming out soon, he will invite you to attend the film premiere together.
You are Vil's first and number one fan, while Vil is your personal stylist and makeup artist. Every outfit and makeup that you will wear must pass through Vil's strict selection. He won't force you to look perfect like him, but he will make sure you look outstanding in any style of fashion that you choose.
With other people, Vil has this Untouchable Queen aura who is difficult to approach. But with you, he's just Vil, an ordinary young man with extraordinary ambitions. When both of your schedules are free, you and Vil will meet in his room to do beauty treatments together while exchanging stories. Vil tells you about what's going on in the entertainment world, while you tell him about the stupidity that some NRC students did when Vil was away.
Vil has one big secret that he doesn't even tell you. And that secret is the fact that you are his emotional support that always cheers him up whenever he feels down. When he gets frustrated every time he gets a villain role, you always stand for the character he plays instead of the main character. When people started to leave him for Neige, you still chose him. When you have seen all the bad sides that he has always buried, you remain by his side. For Vil, you are the most beautiful thing the world has ever given him.
6. Idia Shroud
Apart from Ortho, you are the only person who can freely enter Idia's room as you please. But before entering, please don't forget to knock on his door in the rhythmical order that you two have agreed beforehand, so he knows that it's you outside and not the normies that he constantly tries to avoid.
Just like Leona's childhood friend, you're also entrusted by the teachers to bring him to class. Together with Ortho, the two of you will spend nearly half an hour persuading Idia to attend the class. Faced with your and Ortho's pitiful faces, what else can Idia do but to man up and do the shit? At least, that's what he said to himself. When he just come out of his room, his anxiety gets the better of him and he will immediately scurried back to his room. In the end, you managed to bring Idia to class, but it's not the person himself and rather his floating tablet.
It is common knowledge among students that Ignihyde has a private Wi-Fi network with excellent signal. So, whenever you have homework to do, or you simply want to play online games, you will come to Idia's room and borrow their dorm's Wi-Fi. In exchange for giving you Wi-Fi, Idia will 'borrow' your hand to do his game's gacha. Apparently, you have this 'golden hand' that every gamer would kill for. The card with the highest rarity will come home in just one pull or the first ten pulls every time you gacha.
The limited time event just started a few minutes ago, but thanks to your 'golden hand', you immediately get the SSR event character, whose spawn rate is less than 1%, in just one pull. He will immediately jump around while squealing like a child, and then subconsciously hug you while thanking you many times. After that, he immediately posted the gacha's result online and starts being salty to other players who have to hit the pity system just to get it.
You spend more time in Idia's room than your own. His room just has everything, okay? Cool air conditioning, smooth internet network, comfortable bed, and various kinds of snacks. Every time you visit Idia's room, you will usually fall asleep in his bed listening to the sound of keyboard typing that's created when he plays his games or programming stuff that you can't really understand. Of course, Idia initially is a bit unhappy with that habit of yours since he only has one bed. But when he sees you sleeping so soundly in his bed, Idia can only sigh and decided to sleep somewhere else, maybe in his chair or just straight up lay himself on the floor. He'll be kind just for this time, the next time you fall sleep in his bed, Idia swears he will really kick you out of the bed (he lied, he still lets you hog his bed while he himself sleeps on the floor).
You may not know, but Idia is the envy of every gamer in his online circles. He often shows off Ortho and you to other gamers, saying how lucky he was to have a younger brother who is very considerate and also a childhood friend who has a 'golden hand'. How many introverts can have the same thing as he does? ALMOST NO ONE, SUCKERS!
When Idia's anxiety becomes worse and he starts being pessimistic about all aspects of life, Ortho will immediately go to you and take you to his brother. You both will find him huddled under the blanket on his bed. He asked you and Ortho to just go and leave him alone. But you two know better than to leave. So, you and Ortho will sit on the edge of his bed and start trying to coax him out, telling him about all the good things this world has. It would take a while for him to calm down, but that was better than letting him sink deeper into dejection.
7. Malleus Draconia
Becoming a childhood friend of Malleus means accepting Lilia as your father figure. And accepting Lilia as your father figure means being prepared to be chased down by Lilia who wants to hear you call him father.
You are the first friend Malleus has ever had, so he tries very hard to maintain your friendship. Something caught your interest? Next time you meet Malleus, he'll give it to you as a present. Are you having trouble learning magic? Worry not, Malleus will help you master your magic. Are you amazed by his status as a prince? Hmm, maybe Malleus could ask his grandmother to adopt you? (His grandmother also likes you, but she can't adopt her potential grandchild-in-law just anyone)
You've once tried to stay away from him because some people say you don't deserve to be a friend of Malleus, the crown prince of the Briar Valley. As a result, Malleus's mood became so bad that it threw the palace into a turmoil. His mood finally returned to normal when the two of you were reunited again. After that incident, Malleus became quite protective of you. Someone spoke badly of you? Malleus will meet him personally to have a 'friendly' discussion. Someone wants to pick a fight with you? The next second, they all suddenly fell to the ground for no apparent reason.
You and Malleus are basically one package deal. NRC students will often see the two of you walking around the school hand in hand like two little children, you talk to him and he listens to you. Those who saw that sight dared to swear by the name of the Great Sevens, Malleus had this very rare gentle smile graced his handsome face when he's looking at you.
Malleus loves spending time with you, even if all you both do is just sit quietly under a tree listening to the sound of birds singing in the distance. When the soft breeze starts to blow, you start to get sleepy and unknowingly end up falling asleep leaning on Malleus. Seeing your peaceful sleep expression, Malleus couldn't help but gently trace your face using his finger. He just wanted to make sure that all of this was real and you're not an illusion his mind created.
Having a Malleus as your childhood friend makes you get free bodyguards. For the starters, Malleus himself is quite protective of you because of what happened in the early days of your friendship. And because Malleus is practically glued to you, his two retainers, Sebek and Silver, will also stick to you for the sake of guarding Malleus. Then, there's Lilia, who doesn't want to miss the fun, so he will always appear suddenly and join your group of four. It's kind of complicated, but at least now you have four free strong bodyguards.
Even though he looks young, Malleus has actually lived quite long. Therefore, he's quite mature despite having a seemingly teenager's body. There are only two things that can affect his mature mind, namely anything related to you and not being invited to an event, usually it's the letter one because he always makes sure nothing bad happens to you. When he starts to sulk because he wasn't invited to an event, Lilia will call you to cheer Malleus up. As soon as he saw you, Malleus was practically beaming with excitement. You don't need to bother coaxing him, just doing any activities together with him like walking in the park, eating ice cream, taking care of Roaring Drago, or trying new things is enough to make Malleus entirely forget his sadness from earlier.

against his will
— Featuring : Deuce Spade, Jade Leech and Silver Vanrouge
— Tags : Sfw, Fluff, Slightly comedic, GN!Reader but written with F!Reader in mind, Reader is ‘Yuu’, Established relationship, Grim is there in all three sections, Silver’s section is set before Book 7, Possibly bad grammar, Possibly out of character
— WARNING : Small spoilers for White Rabbit Fest event in Deuce’s section, blood is mentioned but not visibly described in Jade’s section
Notes at the end
— ꒰ DEUCE SPADE ꒱
When Deuce’s mom invited you to stay at her house in Clock Town, you thought you could never get used to her motherly nature and her big way of showing hospitality
She kept pinching your cheeks and handing you far too many compliments for you to handle — it didn’t help that Deuce agreed with everything she was saying with such sincerity that you might as well combust. Though Grim was gagging every single second of it but let’s ignore that for now
Now it was his turn to be embarrassed
“And this was when he was still going to bed with that rabbit stuffy, he wouldn’t go to sleep without it! Such a cutie he was!” She gushed over him — clutching a hand on her cheek as she fondly looked back on the old memories they created on the photo album
‘Such a cutie’ she was right, the little drool on the side of his face and the way he was holding his little plushy tightly in his arms. All while wearing hot pink pajamas. The sight made your heart melt as you squealed
Meanwhile on the other side of the couch, lies a blushing Deuce who was debating whether or not he should grab the album before you see something too mortifying. But on the other hand, he loves seeing you get along so well with his mom. His hands neatly placed in his lap as he peered over — trying to make sure you don’t take any pictures for Ace. Sevens knows what he’ll say about his stupid baby pictures
His mom turned over to the next page — her eyes lit up “And this when he was potty training! He still makes that face you know?” you both giggled as you agreed
‘Okay maybe now is the time’ Deuce thought as he made a grab for it — nearly hitting his chin in the process “[Name] aren’t you hungry? How about I make you some omelettes?”. His mom gasped as she looked back at the clock “it’s nearly dinner time, you must be starving” she got up almost immediately — taking you by the arm as she led you to the kitchen. Deuce pumped his fist up in the air for successfully distracting you two and then dropped the book back on the couch
Unbeknownst to him, a certain little dire beast had the prefect’s phone and smiled mischievously at the chaos he’s gonna cause later “Tee hee this will teach you not to be so lovey dovey”
— ꒰ JADE LEECH ꒱
Meeting Jade’s parents with Grim was stressful enough, meeting them at their house underwater was possibly even more stressful. Instead of using water breathing potion like you would have liked, Jade insisted that you both have to use a merman transformation potion. Something something about how it’s more long lasting compared to the water breathing one
Trying to figure out how to move in your new ‘shrimpy’ form ( as Floyd calls it ) without totally embarrassing yourself was a challenge. Jade, perhaps doing this on purpose, gave you a helping fin on learning how to swim the merman way
Now your here, somehow heavily sweating in the sea while getting a house tour led by his mother and your lovely boyfriend. As Jade was about to show you his childhood bedroom, you saw something big in the corner of your eye
A large family portrait, specifically a portrait with a tiny translucent baby, a baby moray eel
Jade’s left eye seem to twitch “Oh I didn’t realize you had this photo as a portrait mother” he turned over to her. Her lips effortlessly curled into a slight smirk “I recently had it done, I thought this picture would be perfect to fill this empty gap”. She glanced over to you “Besides, don’t my children look ahem charming?”
Charming was one way to put it. His yellow eye seem to bulge out compared to the other and his mouth was pulled into a large smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes
A very blood stained mouth
Minus baby Floyd, nobody else in the picture seems to notice that he was clearly chewing on something he wasn’t supposed to. The lower half of his face was littered with a darker color as he ate whatever he was eating, like a rapid animal
Any normal person probably would have run to the hills by now or in this case swim to the hills but since you were dating Jade Leech; vice housewarden of the most shadiest dorm. You started cooing at the photo
Despite his bizarre appearance, you thought he still looked adorable? you must have truly loved him no matter what he did or what he looked like. Jade smirked at his mother as you continue in your endeavors, not knowing that this was all a little test that she concocted
Meanwhile Grim was silently begging for this trip to be over, those tuna cans were not worth the price for the monstrous sight he had to see”
— ꒰ SILVER VANROUGE ꒱
Going on a picnic date with Silver was always a treat — his animal friends would give out extra berries and would help finding the most perfect spot. Plus little cute cuddly animals surrounding Silver made him look as pretty as a flower in spring — maybe even prettier than flowers. Though it’ll probably be even better if a certain four legged roommate didn’t come along too
Which is why you were outraged when Silver’s animal friend; a deer, plucked out a unknown bald short man with a ridiculously large mustache holding a vintage camera in a nearby bush — clearly intending to take a picture of you two. Silver had to hold you down before you could personally beat up that weirdo
“My dear, please don’t worry this is Lil- I mean my father” Silver quickly explained — you had to do a double-take. You looked back and forth between the two. Luckily Grim took the rude words out of your mouth “BWAH! There’s no way that odd guy is related to Silver!” Grim shouted
The alleged father dust off the grass on his clothes “it’s true we don’t look alike but he is my son” he took out a photograph “Here I have some old baby pictures if you want to see”
That got your attention real fast and now your siting here having a picnic with Silver’s weird father, Grim, a couple of forest creatures and Silver himself, who was cringing each time his dad mysteriously brings out another picture from who knows where
“This was when he fell asleep while I was feeding him! Now thinking about it, he always falls asleep during snack time” ignoring the strange black smoking soup with steams of skulls in the foreground, baby Silver’s sleeping face looks just as cute as his regular self. His little patch of hair was messy like he just got up from bed — one tiny hand still reaching out for his father. You practically had hearts in your eyes
Older Silver licks his teeth “Shouldn’t we get back to school? It’s nearly sundown and we might get locked out” his father jolted up “Oh fiddlesticks you’re right! We have to go back now” Grim put his paws on his hip “What do you mean we?”
Silver’s dad checked his imaginary watch “Oops would you look at the time! Stay in school kids” he winked and then jumped into the same bush he got caught in earlier — his bald cap flying off
Grim then turned to Silver “Hey Silver, why is your dad wearing a bald wig?” Silver sighed like a old man experiencing a divorce
— ꒰ BONUS ꒱
You’ve were strolling through your phone gallery while your boyfriend was spooning you from behind when you came across an old picture of Grim. You’ve started tearing up at how much he changed from compared to how you first saw him
Your boyfriend hearing you sniffing, was concerned until you shoved the phone to his face — almost blinding him with the brightness
“Didn’t he looked so adorable when he was a baby?” you dramatically cried into his arms “…. You met him 5 months ago ….” you cried even harder
“Hey henchman! Don’t go blasting my photos! My reputations as a great mage would be ruined!” Grim who was napping on the other side of the bed called out
· · ─── ꒰ • · ✦ · • ꒱ ─── · ·
While Deuce’s and Jade’s mother’s names has been revealed in their respective hometown event I didn’t want to necessarily use it as it felt more personal like I still wanted that gap between the reader and the relative, hence why Lilia also wasn’t named in this fic
Knowing that beastmen babies are more animal like probably means that mermen are in the same boat and oh my goodness would the Octavinelle trio look like such ugly creatures of horror because what do you mean eel babies are translucent???
In Jade’s dream in Book 7, Floyd mentioned that Jade was actually the more troublesome child between them; never listening to his parents so I doubt he would look good in a picture he wouldn’t want to take
Realistically Silver would have told reader about his adoption before going into a relationship but where’s the fun in that?
Aaaaaaaaaa Grim I love grim so much I love him I love him I love him, since I think of him as a son, I decided to add him too as a special treat
Originally I labeled this as F!Reader but I realized I didn’t use any gendered language so I just wrote as GN!Reader at the end

<𝟑 RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
Riddle opened the door to your room, carrying a bag full of medicine that he knows that will help with your sickness. He did think that maybe he is extravagating, as you told him that it’s only a fever, but he couldn’t help but worry about you.
He was about to announce himself but fortunately he noticed your sleeping form in time.
He came closer to your bed and laid the bag on your night stand without taking his eyes off you. Gently he out his hand on your forehead to check your temperature, which as he expected was worryingly warm.
When he reached for the bag he accidentally threw it off and made it fall to the floor. He gritted his teeth and nervously looked at you to make sure he didn’t wake you up. Luckily he didn’t.
That made him sigh in relief. He then crouched down to pick up the medicine. But immediately something different caught his attention.
It was the locket necklace he saw you having tied around your neck all the time. Of course he was curious what was inside but he thought that maybe you weren’t comfortable with showing him the photo inside. He deducted that you will surely show him what is inside sooner or later.
But now you didn’t need to, as the necklace laid opened. He blushed at the sight of it.
There was a photo of him that you must have taken on one of your first dates, though without his knowledge.
He got stuck in some weird trance while looking at it, and only came back to reality when he saw your hand picking it up, closing it in the process. So after all you have awaken due to the noise he made.
When he looked up he noticed the embarrassment visible on your face, which only made the red on his cheeks deepen.
He stood up and sat next to you, both of you looking down, neither knowing how to break the silence.
Surprisingly he was the one to spoke up first.
“Would you l-like to tell m-me… why you k-keep a picture of me…?” he asked shyly. He did think that it may be a sensitive topic or just an uncomfortable one for you, but he just couldn’t contain his curiosity. And he asked if you want to tell him first so if you don’t want to you can just deny him.
But your exhale made him hopeful. You then opened the locket and handed it to him so he can take a better look at it.
“It may be a silly reason but… I have your photo in my locket because… well…” you only started, but he immediately noticed how your fidgeting got progressively more intense, signifying that you’re nervous.
That’s why he took one of your hands in his one. That made you look at him, his warm smile made you feel more comfortable.
“It’s just… you are constantly busy due to the housewarden responsibilities and the time you have to sacrifice for studying to keep your place as the top student. And don’t get me wrong! I love this hard working side of you! And I know what I was signing for when deciding to date you, but… I feel like we don’t really spend a lot of time together and just sometimes happen to be together in one proximity… so I just found a way to keep you somehow close” you stopped for a moment and broke the eye contact.
“Without bothering you…” you whispered, feeling slightly ashamed of yourself, despite knowing that your feelings are valid.
Riddle was too stunned to speak for a moment, looking at you with wide eyes. He had no idea you felt like that, and now when you finally told him about it, he felt stupid for not noticing how little time you spend together on purpose.
He squeezed your hand to make you look at him again. And when you did he had a apologetic look on his face.
“I want to apologize for my ignorance… There is no excuse for how I neglected you, so much that you thought that it’s better for you to have a photo of me take the place of your partner…” he started. Then the look on his face turned into one of determination.
“But I promise to make more time for you” and you knew that he will surely keep his promise.
“I’ll hold you to your word then” you smiled at him, which he reciprocated immediately. He was glad that a smile finally appeared on your face.
But don’t think that you will avoid taking the bitter medicine that he had bring you.
<𝟑 AZUL ASHENGROTTO
Azul couldn’t believe that after all this time of knowing Floyd he still gets surprised from his randomness.
He looked up at the smirking merman that was looking down at his sitting form and raised an eyebrow at him. It was foolish of him to think that he can work on his contracts in peace.
“What was so important Floyd, that you decided to leave while on your work shift and come to me personally?” Azul asked with an unimpressed look on his face, which didn’t discourage Floyd but only made him giggle.
“I came to give ya a little something” Floyd said with a teasing gleam in his eyes “I think that it’s something that will pick your interest” and without any further explanation he laid something on his desk and left his office.
Azul sighed at his friend’s behavior, but his gaze immediately went to the object left by Floyd. He gently picked it up in his hands. It was a necklace, and an oddly familiar looking one at that, but he couldn’t put his mind on where has he seen a jewelry like that.
But after a moment he shrugged, settling on thought that it was probably on the internet or some magazine.
He was sure that somebody probably have lost it and Floyd has just happened to find it (although he wouldn’t put it above him to have stole it), which meant that sooner or later that person will think of coming to him for help to retrieve it.
After he internally patted himself on the back for his genius, he noticed that the necklace had a way to open it. Luckily for him he didn’t have much remorse for violating someone’s privacy.
And at the same time that he had opened the locket, the door to his office has opened too.
“Hey Azul, have you maybe seen the necklace that you had given me?” you asked, slowly revealing you figure. Perfect timing.
Ah, so that’s where he has seen it. How silly of him to forgot something that was bought my his own money for his dearest partner.
When you didn’t get a response immediately you got confused and walked closer to the desk that Azul was sitting behind. And there was your lost necklace, lying in your boyfriend’s hands, open, showing his photo.
You blushed in embarrassment at your secret being discovered by him. “Oh, there it is” you said quietly.
Azul slowly looked up at you with pink covering his face. “Can I ask why d-do you carry a picture of me?”
“It’s n-nothing serious really… It’s just that you are so constantly busy that I figured that I will keep a photo of you so I can feel somehow close to you without bothering you… It’s so silly I know” you said nervously without looking at him.
“Honestly it sometimes feels like a photo of you is more of your boyfriend than you” you joked, hoping to lighten up the mood.
At which you failed greatly.
Azul immediately after your words stood up and rounded the desk to be close to you. He took your hands in his, giving you your necklace back, and with visible embarrassment on his face looked you into eyes.
“I want to sincerely apologize… for not noticing how little time we spend together. That’s why I ask you now to go on a date with me.”
You blinked at him surprised. “Like… right not?” you asked with a confused smile.
“Precisely” he linked his arm around yours and started to pull you towards the door “My work can be finished later, now you are my priority” he said with that smug smile of his.
“And I hoped that we maybe could take a better photo of me for your locket.”
<𝟑 JAMIL VIPER
Even though Jamil knew that you feel bad about giving him more work, he insisted on taking care of some of your duties, as you had something important to do. Although it did took some time to make you leave your room to go where you needed to be.
And now he was beginning to do the last responsibility that he was on your list, which was washing the laundry.
As he was checking the pocket of your clothing, he began wondering why doing something for you didn’t feel like a chore, like it was with Kalim. Obviously he hadn’t have to do it for you, unlike for his housewarden, but it couldn’t be only that.
Before he could dive deeper into this new thought, his hand has found something in the pockets of one of your pants. And it wouldn’t do such impression on him if it was a tissue or some trash that you have forgotten to throw away.
But it was a locket necklace, one that he has seen you wear almost all the time, that’s why he was confused to why you haven’t it with yourself right now.
He knew that he should just leave it on your desk or somewhere but instead pocketed it in his hoodie and thought that after finishing doing the laundry he will go to wait for you in his room and just text you to call him when you’re done.
And for the rest of the process of doing the laundry, he was now wondering about what was inside your locket and fighting with himself to not peek what’s inside.
Later when you called he asked you to come to his room as he has something to ask you, and due to him sounding quite serious (although it was his normal tune) you hurried and went there immediately after ending the call.
And when you arrived you found Jamil already waiting for you next to the entrance to the Scarabia dormitory.
He perked up after seeing you and came up closer to you right away. And before you could even greet him or thank him for helping you with your duties, he gently took your hand and laid your necklace there.
Your hand immediately went to your bare neck and your eyes widened. You couldn’t believe that you have forgotten something so important! Then you realized what that could mean and your eyes shyly looked at Jamil.
“Did you…?” you were embarrassed to even ask him, but thankfully you didn’t have to end your question as he instantly understood what you were talking about.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t look inside” that made you sigh in relief. “But I actually hoped that you would show me what photo you have in there. If you want to of course, don’t feel pressured” he said and laid a hand on your shoulder as an attempt to make you feel comfortable.
And although you didn’t feel like you have to tell him, but the curious look in his eyes made you decided to finally reveal your little secret.
You slowly opened your locket, which made him perk up, and at the sight of his photo inside his breath got in his throat.
He didn’t even need to ask you to explain why you have it inside.
“The thing is… I know that you are really busy due to your status as both Scarabia vice-housewarden and Kalim’s… servant, so I feel really bad when I bother you when you’re working or have that rare moment of peace to rest… That’s why I thought that I will just keep a photo of you in my necklace to somehow contain my longing…” you said slightly ashamed.
“It’s stupid I know-”
“Not at all” Jamil said firmly. “I’m sorry that… I didn’t notice how me working is affecting you” you wanted to argue that he didn’t owe you an apology for that but he wouldn’t let you. “But you should know that you could never be a bother for me. Your presence always sooths me, no matter if I’m working or resting, you’re always welcomed” he finished with a warm smile.
You smiled at that and nodded, too at loss for words.
Then he took the necklace from your hands and closed it. He circled you to stay behind you and gently put it on you and locked it.
“So what do you say about having a sleepover tonight?”
<𝟑 VIL SCHOENHEIT
As Vil started doing his morning routine, he noticed something lying on his vanity table. It was the locket necklace he saw you wearing all the time, so it was weird that you left it here.
Yesterday you had a movie watching date, and although he did propose having a sleepover, you refused due to having to wake up early tomorrow to attend some meeting, which he understood and didn’t press on.
You must have been so tired that you forgot that you have taken it off after it got tangled with his hair during your cuddling.
He looked at the time on his phone and saw that you must have already departed for said meeting, and although he didn’t know how long would it last, he decided to personally go deliver your necklace to your room after a few hours so he will be sure that you will be there, as he didn’t trust anyone (especially Rook) to respect your privacy and not peek inside it.
He nodded satisfied at the plan he came up with and continued his routine.
When the time to visit you finally arrived, and he was already in front of the door to your room, he knocked and waited for a few moments. To his confusion no one opened it, but before he could turn around and leave he heard your muffled voice that yelled for him to come inside.
Which was weird as you always welcome him personally by opening the door for him.
But he just shrugged and stepped inside, his eyes immediately finding your figure, that was clearly searching for something, which he was sure that it was what he came to return.
“Hey Vil, did you need something?” you asked him, although you didn’t even turn around to look at him and greet your boyfriend properly, which left him slightly bothered.
“So I can’t come to you unless I need something?” he teased you with a raised eyebrow. Though you missed the sarcasm in his voice and took it personally.
“No, no, of course not!” you said finally acknowledging him with your gaze.
He chuckled warmly and came closer to you “I was just kidding dearest, don’t take everything so seriously.”
You laughed, slightly embarrassed at not getting his sarcasm. “Sorry.”
He smiled at you “Although yes, I do need something from you, actually, you are the one who needs something from me” he said. That made you raise an eyebrow at him, but before you could ask what he meant by that, you noticed the thing you were looking for in his opened palm.
“My necklace!” you exclaimed with relief. “I can’t believe I left something so important!” you took the locket and hugged it to your chest.
“What is so important about it? If you don’t mind me asking of course” said Vil, happy at the sight of your nerves easing.
You looked at him for a moment, before opening the locket, showing him his photo. He smirked at the sight of that, as he was already suspecting himself as the one that you keep tied around your neck.
“You don’t need a photo to admire me you know, you can just look at the real thing” he said with his teasing grin. Although you only chuckled awkwardly at that. That confused him.
“But I don’t have many opportunities to look at the real you, do I?” you said sadly. That made his eyes widen.
“What do you mean by that?” he furrowed his eyebrows. A sigh left you.
“It’s just that… you are so busy all the time with your career as a Pomefiore housewarden, model and actor… I always feel bad when I try to squish myself in your already packed schedule. So I-“
“So you find something to make you miss my presence less?” he finished for you, weirdly quietly. You shyly nodded.
You grew nervous when you were met with a silence. But before you could joke that it wasn’t anything serious he tapped something quickly in his phone.
“I’m disappointed in myself for not noticing my partner’s struggle to voice their needs, but fret not dearest, I will redeem myself” he smiled at you warmly and took your hands in his.
“I propose adding weekly dates into my schedule. We can discuss it together right now, as I cleared my plans for the rest of today” he lead you to your bed and sat down, you following.
“And remember, there is always a space for you in my schedule, no matter how packed it is" and he booped your nose as a sort of ressurence.

In which GN!Reader forgets their wedding ring at home after they had a large argument with their husband, Riddle/Ace/Leona/Azul/Rielle, leading to a big misunderstanding.
Hurt/Comfort. The men grovel: need I say more? Established relationship/marriage. Gender-neutral!Reader.
If there was one part of soccer Sae didn't care for, it was the mindless interviews.
A post-match interview? Fine.
A sponsorship shoot? Tolerable.
One of those painfully awkward videos where they sat professional athletes in front of puppies and expected them to reveal their deepest secrets?
Absolutely not.
Most interviews followed the same formula.
'How does it feel to score?'
'What's your workout routine?'
'Who inspires you?'
Questions that have been asked a thousand times and would be asked another thousand after, so when Sae entered the media room after his match, he was already halfway checked out.
The journalists sat in neat rows, hands poised over notebooks and laptops, waiting for their turn. The first few questions went exactly as expected.
"How do you feel about today's victory?"
"It was expected."
"What do you think separated your team from the opposition?"
"We played better."
The room collectively deflated with every short answer.
Good.
Maybe they'd end this faster.
Then someone spoke from the third row.
"During the second half, you stopped making overlapping runs and started occupying deeper spaces."
Sae's eyes shifted.
You weren't even looking at your notes.
You were looking directly at him.
"The commentators said it was because the opposing midfield was pressing higher," you continued. "But from where I was sitting, it looked more like you were baiting their defensive line into stepping forward."
Several reporters blinked.
One quietly stopped typing.
Sae tilted his head.
For the first time all afternoon.
"...Go on."
The moderator looked surprised.
You didn't.
"When their center-backs stepped up, they left space behind them. Twenty-three minutes later, your through ball created the winning goal."
You glanced at your notebook.
"Was that adjustment planned before the match, or was it something you recognized in real time?"
The room fell silent.
Because that wasn't a fan question.
It wasn't a tabloid question.
It was a gameplay question.
And a good one.
Sae leaned back in his chair.
"It wasn't planned."
A few heads snapped toward him.
Long answers were apparently a rare event.
"Their right center-back kept abandoning his position whenever their midfielder lost possession."
You nodded immediately.
"The number four?"
"Yeah."
You scribbled something down, it wasn't anything of substance you just wanted to look a little more put together.
Sae found himself watching you longer than necessary.
"Did you notice it before halftime?" you asked.
"I noticed it after twelve minutes."
A slight pause, "You?"
"About seventeen."
One of the reporters nearly dropped his pen.
Sae stared then, unexpectedly, a small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Slow."
A few journalists looked genuinely horrified.
You simply shrugged.
"I wasn't on the field."
The moderator looked like he had accidentally wandered into a private conversation.
The rest of the interview continued similarly.
Every question you asked dug deeper.
It was like there was no one else in the room. No other interviewer dared to ask a question, likely because they were trying to write down everything he was telling you.
Not once did you ask about his dating life.
Not once did you ask who he was friends with.
Not once did you ask him to rank teammates or reveal embarrassing stories.
And for perhaps the first time in years, Sae found himself answering because he wanted to.
By the end of the interview, he'd spent nearly twenty minutes speaking almost exclusively to you.
Something that didn't go unnoticed.
As the session wrapped up, the moderator thanked everyone for attending.
Most reporters immediately packed their things.
You did too, no attempt to linger or a request for a photo, you just grabbed your bag and left.
۶ৎ
Sae watched you leave.
"...What's her name?"
The moderator nearly choked.
"The journalist?"
"Obviously."
The man blinked then told him. He felt so starstruck that Sae Itoshi was talking to him that he handed him a card with the name of your company and some of your contact information.
Sae committed it to memory before standing and walking away.
Across social media, clips from the interview exploded within hours.
'WHY WAS SAE ACTUALLY TALKING???'
'HE ANSWERED IN FULL SENTENCES.'
'Who is that reporter???'
'Not him smiling because she challenged him.'
'Did anyone else catch him asking for her name after the interview????'
'SAE ITOSHI YOU ARE NOT SLICK.'
Even the players noticed.
The next morning, Sae walked into training to find several teammates waiting.
With grins.
Dangerous grins.
"Good morning, Sae," Shidou sang.
Sae immediately turned around.
"No."
"You don't even know what I'm going to say."
"Yes, I do."
"That journalist seemed nice."
Sae kept walking.
"She understood soccer."
The entire locker room erupted.
He'd never admit it, but they were right. He did remember you and he already told his manager and publicist that you were the only person he wanted to be interviewed by for the foreseeable future.
; written with yandere in mind, female (y/n), ooc, mostly crack, talks of being desperate for pussy, modern au, they're being weird to a woman (you), don't take this seriously, not proofread.
♡ "not like other guys" kazuha. see, most men are brutish and obnoxiously loud, always blabbering on about their latest investment in a bitcoin that's sure to rise or how they've been going to the gym more often to buff up. either a finance bro or a gym rat or something in between, still horrendous options when dating women - emotionally unavailable, vain, narcissistic, etc. etc. but not kazuha, he's different, for your information. incredibly so.
whereas other men are always out in clubs or attending football games, kazuha prefers to stay in the comfort of his home and play with his guitar or write poetry. while other men are out getting their dick wrung out like some dishcloth and getting passed around in a circle, kazuha very much prefers to abstain in hopes of saving his first time for 'the one'. not giving it out to the first girl he sees!
his mentality of standing out and being unique compared to the general populace of men only strengthens when he develops feelings for you. his pick-me behavior is amplified. starts taking seats near you and lays out all his quirkily designed notebook covers while he's blasting music from his earphones. makes sure to dress up like those soft boy fits ethically sourced from pinterest, too, as he tries to look like he isn't glancing in your direction every two seconds.
ignore him and don't make conversation, please. unless you like getting stunlocked into what feels like an unskippable dialogue sequence in a video game. you could just say "hi." to him as a simple acknowledgment, but the next you know, he's yapping your ear off with how lowkey different he is.
"ermm i'm kind of a weird kid 🤓🤓🤓 not like the other guys in our classes, you know? i watch weird documentaries and childhood TV shows instead of cool stuff like NBA matches or action films >.< also i don't disrespect women, unlike" gestures to some guys behind him, "them."
the type to embarrass you in class by purposely making it known that he has a crush on you by leaving behind poems on your desk, and even has the audacity to act out the corny main character confrontation scenes from movies when he learns that some -129 IQ guy named maverick is also interested in you. like, relax.... you are not the main character in a coming-of-age movie; you are in college !!
but that's okay, because like he said, errmmmm he's kinda not like other guys, got that 🤓☝️? so please go ahead and start stripping off your panties the moment he shows you his lego collection :)
♡ "guy best friend" scaramouche. alternatively called, "i hate my best friend's boyfriend final boss" scaramouche. but then again, your past boyfriends never lasted long enough for him to be infamously known as that. the type of guy who quite literally plays the longest waiting game and plots for years because he was too much of a pussy to express romantic interest in you back when you first met him and now has to deal with the damned consequences.
he's always by your side, making it known to everyone that the two of you are, in fact, a package deal that should not be separated. even when you're on a supposed date with your current boyfriend, scaramouche will be found proudly third-wheeling as he lags behind a couple of steps. like.... why isn't he home yet? who exactly is the boyfriend here, uhmmm??
you never even question this freakish antic of his because he excuses it as, "looking out for you just in case he tries anything weird," and well, it works. since you view him as a brother figure, isn't that how brother figures usually act? all protective and stuff :000?
and because it gives him the pass to crash in on your dates, scaramouche has no choice but to suck it up and agree with a strained smile. right, right... guy best friend and brother figure.... definitely. yup! he knows his place in your life :) never mind the fact that he'll cry himself to sleep while 'i fell in love with my best friend' blasts on repeat, slowed and reverbed.
still, there's a reason why your boyfriends never last long, and this is because scaramouche acts like that one junji ito comic with how he's whispering in your ear saying, "you could do so much better than that useless guy" and "i'm just saying... if he was the one, you would've felt the spark by now. besides, are you really willing to babysit after a grown ass man like him?" and not to toot his own horn... but it works like a charm every time, heh. he's even there by your side after each argument with your boyfriend, listening intently and agreeing to every point you make against that douche (even if you're objectively in the wrong, because hey, brownie points) and repeatedly chanting 'break up with him' in his head.
he's doing everything but putting in the work to charm you, though. he's out here threatening your boyfriend behind closed doors and spreading malicious rumors about them online to 'protect you' but he can never open up etsy and order you a bouquet of flowers online before asking you out on a date. he just longingly stares at you 50 miles away in hopes that you'll get the signal and finally text him to eat out your pussy or something. :/
definitely tries out the corny move of goading you into having sex with him to "make sure you're prepared once you get laid by someone else!". you always snort and playfully push his head away every time, fully believing that he's just kidding. oh well... back to the waiting game, it is. one day.... >.< !! #1 waiter.
♡ "indie pop gatekeeper" flins. makes indie his entire personality, like oh, you discovered x and y artist through the trending sounds on teyvatok? psh, he's been a fan of theirs ever since they were playing their songs out on public streets. nice try, buster, but you're gonna have to try better than that to outclass an indie appreciater like him 🤓
it extends over to the games he plays. refuses the mainstream games created by billionaire companies because he refuses to support capitalism before turning around to drink sprite and use his samsung phone like, buddy... seethes when the indie games he plays get popular, though. ugh, it's just not the same compared to when only seven people across the globe knew about it!!!! even lives with that 'indie>>>' principle with how he only buys clothes through overpriced local businesses that probably have their items mass produced regardless. lowkey looks down on people who like popular media, subtly rolls his eyes, and huffs quietly. "how typical."
but quickly lowers his gatekeeper tendencies when around you because he absolutely refuses to fumble. quickly chases after you when the lecture ends, dressed in his local business-approved college fit, and asks you to check out this lowkey library that opened up near campus. he's the only student to discover it so far because the location is hidden in a secluded alleyway... so uhm, wanna go? :)
unfortunately, you're not immune to his alt rizz, so you bite. the biggest regret of your life, actually. the walk there is unbearable because the quiet guy who usually sits at the back suddenly transforms into a nonstop talking machine, blabbering about indie this and indie that and how he hatessss pop singers like yun jin from liyue. oh, but don't get him wrong, he supports women!
"only me and the three ants i found under a chocolate chip cookie listen to this band, but since you're kinda (read: incredibly) cute, i don't mind sharing them with you :)" pulls out his earbuds and gives you the other half so he can reenact the inazuman dramas that he secretly watches. "they're kinda indie, so i don't expect you to know them, haha... but i can show you more of their songs if you'd like ! >///<" no, thank you.
by the end of this archon forsaken hangout, you just want to go home and laugh about his loser ass with your roommate, but you're stopped by a hand on your shoulder before you could even bolt out of there.
so, huh.... this was a good hangout (read: date), right? can you, likeee.... type in your number now so you two can have e-sex on snezhcord once you go home? pretty please? ...with cherries on top?
♡ "nonchalant outcast" kinich. yare yare daze... college isn't big enough for a nonchalant cool guy like kinich 🥀🥀🥀 he's a distant cousin of flins with how ostracized they are from their peers, but kinich remains unbothered, something something too busy aura farming by the window seat. he's not bullied per se, he's just the one who detaches himself from the people in his class. some speculate that he acts like that because of a traumatic childhood or has something to do with how he was raised. the truth is far simpler...
he just really, really wants to bag the baddie (you) who sat in front of him during orientation two years ago and happened to overhear you gushing to your friend about "nonchalant men being the best!" and he literally switched up his entire personality since then. now he's in his third year and has shared more than 50% of his classes with you, and yet still no luck... you haven't looked at him twice. he'd approach you if he could, but ugh, first moves weren't in the nonchalant guy instruction manual.
archons above... please let this third year be the college year where he finally advances his romance novel-esque, slow burn trope that he has going on with you... please. like, look! he's too much of a loner to have other friends, isn't that what girls like nowadays? something something isolation and having no worries about him having girl friends so there's no chance of getting jealous? he's literally spiritually prostrating himself at your glorious feet !!!
expections never align with reality, however, because the one time you got paired up with him for a class, he was too busy keeping up the nonchalant guy act that he just came across as a total douchebag who had a tendency to reply with just one (1) word. despite everything... he still fumbled. baddie not acquired :(
♡ "white knight" childe. ladies !! calm down and stop throwing your bras and panties at him the moment he walks out, please !! >////< except the ladies in this case is singular and even then, the world will have to bend in on itself before you begin to contemplate the idea of throwing your underwear at him... sigh :(. oh, but don't get him wrong ! he's not a woman (read: you) defender and protector just to acquire some pussy (he definitely is) !! he's doing this all for the love of the game!
you could be the worst person ever, and white knight childe will still be on the frontlines defending your honor because he feels it in his bones that one of these days he'll finally be given a crumb of pussy 🥹🥹 acts so dramatic about it too, panting and wiping sweat off his forehead as if he just went through a grueling war and won by just a strand of hair when in reality he was just on his monitor all night alternating between jacking off to porn stars that look like you and camping under your instagram comments to drive off any suitors.... capital L Loser.
he camps like crazy, too. replies to guys with, "she doesn't want you bro lmao." "i know where you live." "i'll put you on life support" and he means it. can he stop scaring away your possible roster !!!!
still, this white knight has some uses. he'll unironically beat up some guy who offended you, maybe it's over something minor: a mean comment made in a whisper, an anonymous remark left under the college forum, a simple eyeroll, etc. regardless, that nameless nobody's still getting his shit rocked by childe behind a lecture building. probably records it with his phone propped up on the wall and sends it to you after all is said and done, the kaomojis he adds to his texts don't match the gruesome content, but... eh. who are you to stop him?
apart from physical altercation, he's surprisingly adept at attending to your every whim and need, obediently bowing down with a foxy grin on his face as he asks what you need. doing your essay, perhaps? or do you prefer him making the presentation slides for your ethics class? maybe both? just tell him, he's all yours now and forever :)
though, just so you know.... if you give him even just a blowjob, his work efficiency increases by 300% !! >///< it's not a lie, he swears! you can test it for yourself! sadly, you're too smart to be baited like that </3
♡ "total feminist" ifa. average daily routine of ifa's: wake up and remember how badly women have it, clench fist in anger, and sigh deeply. have breakfast and think about the patriarchy still standing and frown. go to work and mull over how unfair it is that women have to go through periods. post a caption story on teyvatgram about loving women during break and then go back to work. go home, eat dinner, and then lie in bed as he mourns the gender inequality of modern teyvat. repeat this the following day.
wears a "feminist" t-shirt beneath his work scrubs and was so close to getting a tattoo of it, that is, until he meets you and starts using his superficial feminism as a way to charm you. starts reposting hot takes of women which contain takes that are... not hot at all, not even near to boiling point, actually. amps up the instagram story posting agenda and even sneaks in home pictures as he whines about how he wishes he had a girlfriend right now because he would be such a good boyfriend 🥺🥺🥺 !! tries imitating the golden retriever energy that women love, but uhm, he makes it weird. fast.
whenever his good bro ororon visits his clinic, and you happen to be there, best believe that ifa is switching up and starts painting his friend out to be an absolute villain.
you could make a minor mistake, like accidentally going way past the allotted amount of medicine inserted in the syringe, and ororon would laugh at you in good nature. he'd nudge ifa then point at your fumble, and just as you're also about to laugh, ifa frowns and starts dishing out a lecture then and there.
"bro, not cool," he'd chide, shaking his head, "don't you know how much courage it takes to become a vet student and pursue this field, dude? not only is (y/n) trying her best at all times, but she also makes sure that all the saurians in the clinic are comfortable and happy in their own ways. are you even hearing yourself, bro? next time you make fun of her, think about-" yap yap yap.
😭😭😭 it is NOT that deep, ifa !! she's still not picking him, regardless :((( he's so locked into being perceived as the number one women supporter for plus points that he forgoes all common sense. oh well, he can stew in common sense once he's picked as the best man for your wedding with ororon 10 years later because you chose a man with a good sense of humor over the feminist king.
heh.... you know, nice guys finish last anyway. that's exactly why he brought over a tranquilizer gun! :)
♡ "ugly guy" xiao. nobody knows if he's serious or just outright ragebaiting when he starts acting edgy and spewing out things such as, "don't get close to me, i don't want to stain you with my sins" or "i'm too unsightly, it's best you keep your distance" like, uhm, okay.... he cannot be talking with those blessed looks lmfao. and the sin in question is probably gooning too much because what else could he be on about? unless he's talking about an underpaid service worker in yaedonalds, then :( regardless, they take his advice and steer clear from him, another distant cousin to kinich and flins with being a social recluse.
he's always uglyposting, both in conversation and online. casually just slips it in and continues the topic as if he didn't just drop that??? it's hard to discern if self-conscious or otherwise, too. so cryptic and for whatever reason :/ leaves you thinking about it hours after the conversation ended, because what does he mean by that... is he fishing for compliments or??? and you're essentially forced to ruminate on it further because his posts are the first things you see the moment you open social media. cowabummer.
the longer you know him, the less it bothers you. it goes from, "hey, do i need to get you a therapist? :)" to "what the hell, sure." whenever he starts acting up. works against him because you're now unfazed. "ugh. i'm so ugly, don't pick me >:( nobody would want a guy like me" wow, masterful work of reverse psychology, mister xiao! except, uhm... this tactic clearly isn't working on a baddie like you anymore :(
; in contrast to the performative males who adopt certain characteristics to appeal to you, there exist men who are quite literally out there to ruin your life. they don't bother to have a facade; they are rawdogging this completely. stay safe <3
; written with yandere in mind, mostly crack, OOC, modern au, minor nsfw (nothing explicit), they are a MENACE, female (y/n), do not take this seriously, not proofread.
♡ "crypto bro" pantalone. he's exactly the type of guy kazuha so blatantly rolls his eyes at. hmph, cryptocurrency? how absolutely typical of him. yet pantalone is the one scoffing at kazuha's face while he revels in all of his crypto investments' glory. and no, crypto won't be completely irrelevant in two years. quit talking out of your ass, childe. and yes, he's practically projected to become a teyvat digital trillionaire within just five years if he keeps his crypto flow like this. so don't get in his way now! 🤓🤓
...sigh. these beta male cucks wouldn't get it, after all. they can't even begin to fathom the greatness that is pantalone's mind when it comes to investments. he is always two steps ahead of all these sheeple, the only red-pilled man in a world filled with blue-pilled men.
and if you're wise enough, you should know that picking crypto bro pantalone would objectively be the best life-altering decision of all time. sure, you may have to sit on his lap and try not to roll your eyes so far back into your skull because he's droning on about his latest market investments. and yeah, maybe it kills the mood each time he pauses thrusting into you because he remembers that friday the thirteenth of the sixth month at 7:10PM will guarantee him the best crypto results if he invests right now. and maybe he sometimes goads you into cosplaying as his favorite crypto mining mascots because it really, really turns him on for some reason....
but hey, money talks, as they say. you can bear his horrendous personality because his wallet alone makes up for it! maybe even write you into his will so that you'll be inheriting all his money the moment he dies from a mysterious freak accident. that you absolutelyyyy had no hand in, hypothetically speaking, of course. it's all worth it ...right?
you're in for a rude awakening when you come to realize that he's a massive cheapskate and hoards all his money behind his ten-step-protected bank account with an eleven-digit password that changes every week and never shares to you :( so stingy. damn. should've gone for a different crypto bro if you had known he was going to be like this. his attitude and stinginess are not enough for you to stay !!
♡ "peaked in high school as the jock" varka. you'd think that you've seen every flavor of insufferable man before, but that was prior to being introduced to varka. there must be a logical explanation, because why does it seem like varka's a living time capsule by possessing a soul who's permanently stuck to the teyvatian year of 2021. class clown...? brother in barbatos, you graduated from high school three years ago.... err. strongly advised that you avoid him when he roams the campus hallways. always feels like a silent hill sequence with how hard it is to steer clear of him.
seriously, he does not shut up about high school. if you're a masochist and like being verbally tortured to willingly engage in a conversation with him, that's practically his primary personality trait. "oh, back in high school, me and the boys did this-" "aha! i remember this topic from that one high school lecture! so, funny story, actually-" "hah? i don't remember doing this back in high school-"
well, if he loves high school so much, why can't he just repeat it :/
still... there's some charm to him, or maybe you're just huffing pure copium. your friends frequently make fun of how, out of all people, you chose him too. they just don't get it...! varka may be the blandest man to ever man out there, but. but...! you can fix him. you can make him form a personality outside being a class clown and high school nostalgianator 3000 !! call yourself pantalone with the way you're about to invest in this <3
....but ten dates later, your now boyfriend is still the high school nostalgia central.... yeah, it's time to pull the plug on this sunk cost fallacy. his jock persona is an extension of his whole identity at this point. and no, varka, you will not be wearing a skimpy cheerleader costume while he wears his high school varsity jacket during sex.
♡ "active snezhcord mod" rerir. "hop on snezhcord for a bit. i wanna vc you" "hey. u up? let's call." "let's just vc and chill." "cute. snezhcord?" "hey. need help banning some users, let's split the work?" "u weren't in my server last night, smth wrong?" and you give in every time because...? his deep voice is hot, is that it? there's a seventy percent chance that he's just using a voice modifier to sound more alpha male-like, but at least the asmr is good.
yikes. free yourself. even with his voice, you definitely thought he was one of those loser basement dweller guys who have no other life outside monitoring their prized snezhcord servers and playing the latest trendy fps game, only to be slapped in the face by how..... hot he looked when you meet up with him in real life. model level of handsome, despite all the bandages on his body, really.... towers over you, and even with the prominent eyebag beneath his right eye, he looks unfairly scrumptious.
yeah, maybe he hasn't showered in ten days and is only two showers away from christmas. yes, he's chronically online and is a tiktok comment warrior on top of being a snezhcord moderator. yeah, his dick is definitely musty. yeah, he definitely lives off instant noodles. and he's 101% mentally ill, but wow.... you're ready to be trapped in the most torturous, toxic e-relationship of your entire life. you don't want to be saved, that's for sure.
goes from voice chats to sharing screen and calling with the camera on... oh. e-dating steers into e-sex that you genuinely cannot get turned on by. rerir can't make your pussy wet when he's in your dms dirty talking like some repressed teenager that grew up watching porn day and night. he most likely is, sadly. dirty talk so ass it has you searching up r18 boyfriend asmr on TeyTube in hopes of getting wet in the dry sahara desert that is your pussy.
"*fondles your clit*" ....? really? what is this, high school rp? is he expecting you to reply with, asterisk strokes your dick asterisk? and he's probably bricked up right now, too.... this snezhcord mod dick is not worth it, man. no matter how big it may be :/
♡ "mansplainer" alhaitham. holder of multiple PhDs at a younge age, successful scholar, proud alumni of the prestigious sumerian akademiya, and how does he impart his knowledge....? "well, no. it's actually-" "see, a car goes vroom vroom because of the engine.... do you know what an engine is?" "the historical teyvat samsara theory? are you sure you'd like to know more... it may be too complicated a topic for you. perhaps read simpler books first?" you are not uneducated for him to be acting like this.
more infuriating because you've observed his interactions with other people, and it seems like you're the only one he treats this way. he knows the intellectual level of the person he's talking to and adapts his speech to their level, even encourages the other party to challenge their mental capacity by reading complicated books. yet when it comes to you he speaks like.... "me... you... dinner.... tomorrow?" is he ragebaiting, or does he genuinely think you're incapable of a reading level past a high schooler's? either way, he pisses you off.
he's even more insufferable during sex because you just grabbed his dick, ready to blow his brains out when he stops you from putting it in your mouth. looks down at you with a slightly raised brow, "hold on. do you know how to suck a penis?" ugh. yes, alhaitham. "let me teach you." you do NOT need a blowjob teaching course from him right now !!!!!!!!! you know how to suck dick, damn it !!!!
even when you tell him this, he's still skeptical. delays the sex in favor of teaching you how to he likes to be sucked :///// you know all of this already... does he need pictures of your past blowjob sessions or what? he's so obnoxious, but you need to take backshots from him before you block his miserable ass.
♡ "proud nepo baby" ayato. wakes up in his 100th-floor high penthouse and messages his politician parents and equally rich sister before driving his expensive sports car to his expensive university. attends class in fits that are found in runway models, like how can he be this consistent? proceeds to pick up his broke girlfriend after class to drive her to a high-end restaurant that serves gold-leafed steaks and dessert, where it has so much gold you can't even taste the meat anyway. might as well have eaten flat-out jewelry.
makes idle conversation while eating. did you know? his politician parents recently won the voting period that took place a week or two ago. looks over you and asks if you voted for his parents, too. after all, they're going to be your in-laws in the near future. makes you squirm in your seat, stuttering out an agreement. definitely voted for them yup, yup....
he's so tone-deaf it's actually crazy. literally the thinking monkey (him) and screaming lion (you) image. ugh, you're acting crazy again, (y/n) 🙄🙄🙄(girls, smh) so what if his father pocketed over 50% of the taxes last month? it's not that serious. what? his father isn't fulfilling the programs he promised during his campaign? well, plans don't happen overnight, okay? :/ and you'd agree too, but like. ayato, it's been months now 💀💀💀 and what do you mean his money is dirty? he'll have you know, all his money bills are newly produced and crisp to the touch! here, you can even have a feel :) errr no, thank you. flood control? what's that????
...donate his wealth? but baby... this is all for you :((
🤨🤨 well ok. since this is all technically your money now, let's give some back to those who need it :) cue tsk from him. grade A asshole.
♡ "chronic tiktoker" kaeya. a niche, beloved online figure that has a cult following because he's so loved. the type to traumadump on his entire online audience before deleting it in the morning. records you breaking up with him and proceeds to make a 10302 part series on teyvatok, crocodile crying about how you coldly left him while ignoring the thirsty people in the comments begging to be picked. he started this series to make you come back, not to find someone else, damn it!
but he plays nice in the comments, responds to people who are actively condemning you for ever leaving him with phrases like, "i don't blame her :(" "she's not the problem, it's me :(" "Noooo, (y/n) is nice :)" further fanning the flames. master manipulator if we think about it. and just like any other teyvatok series, his own series blows up and reaches millions of people, thus learning of his entire history with you..... awkward.
never mentions your name or location in the entire ongoing teyvatok series until he feels like it. acts like it was an accident when he slips in your name once while he was reminiscing about the "good times" pre-breakup. pretends to act shocked when you come unblock his pathetic ass to spam him countless texts demanding why there's an influx of people harassing you online.
what... people are.... harassing you !? oh, woe is him !! how could he let this happen !!!!! don't worry (y/n), he'll fix this error ASAP >.< <- him when he lies out of his ass. absolutely has no intentions of fixing this mess; if anything, he's waiting to see if the stress caused by this situation will make you to seek out his company. all according to keikaku, or whatever his freakshit blockmate kazuha often says.
♡ "AI slop consumer" itto. maybe unintentionally, but it's icky enough that he didn't bother to educate himself about the unethical use of ai. he often messages you at 3am, always sending an influx of akashaGPT ai-generated picture of you and him with a child while captioning it with, "i had akashaGPT make this! this is us in the future :) isn't it cute?" rebuke this right now. so chillingly scary, like actually. spends all his time knee-deep in AI slop when he could've spent all that time making his resume and getting employed </3 and inazumans still wonder why the country is cooked </33333
lowkey has AI psychosis because before and after each interaction you have with him, he'll consult his best friend, akashaGPT for further advice to woo you.
"omg akashagpt my crush just said hi to me and said she'd consider it when i asked her if i can take her out on date !!! thoughts?"
"it appears that your crush is extremely interested in you, itto. there are not doubts about it in my system, a female often displays interest through reluctance in order to appear less eager when confronted with the object of their affection. there's a high chance that they will agree to your proposal in a few days' time."
"wow !!! :DDDD"
trenches deep in the AI slop world that he follows each and every AI trend. that figure desk AI trend? oh baby, he already has that AI figure image of you printed out as a poster in his room. AI polaroid picture with a person's favorite celebrity? he's been two steps ahead of that thread because he's done that months before it blew up. while you're not a celebrity... the concept stays the same. you're mad at him because the groupwork part he passed was AI-generated? eek, time to consult akashaGPT on how to lessen your temper !!
when you hand them your ring before a fight [genshin men]
⋗ ft. Childe, Diluc, Dottore, Kaeya, Kaveh, Pantalone, Wriothesley
⋗ A/N: short little side quest born from a comment under my last fic post lmao
Childe • Holds out his hand the moment he sees the look in your eyes shift and does not shut up. Might even smack your butt before you go clock your target as a show of support. He’s hollering for your victory the whole time, deafening out any other reactions that your clash might attract, he might even slip a little me next in there. He’s still careful with the ring, though - he’s ready to propose to you the moment you win. And once you do, Childe’s still screaming, singing you praises on top of his lungs while he pulls you close and spins you around. The ring is on your finger the next second, his lips press against the cool metal warming up against your searing skin. Any wounds that have to be tended to can wait until shows you just how much he appreciated the little show and how proud he is.
Diluc • Arguably, he should do more, he thinks. He shouldn’t support you and definitely should talk some sense into you - hell, he should be defending your honor. But the band in his hand reminds him who exactly he married, and that he might as well be next in line if he tries so much as suggesting he could take care of the issue for you. He stands to the side, still ready to step in if you need him. His eyes drink your every move, a certain kind of hunger simmers under his skin. Above that, however, even stranger sort of contentment. Diluc remembers your occasional sparring sessions and the flawless way you move, it strokes his ego when he sees you’ve improved in whatever he’s pointed out in the past. But there’s always room for improvement - if you’re not hurt, he will have you spar with him to have the ring back.
Dottore • He’s annoyed. There’s surely less dangerous ways of defending yourself, he could talk for hours about injuries and lasting effects that you can suffer from a physical altercation. He’s even more annoyed that you took off your ring. If you have to pummel someone, let them at least wear the signature of your ring. Both as a lasting memory and as a deterrent for anyone else who might think to goad you into a fight. Though Dottore might be disapproving, his eyes follow you. He won’t interfere, after all if you agree to partake, you can bear the consequences. Whether you win or lose, he wins - he gets to watch your violence with hungry eyes, humming in approval upon learning something new about you, and in the end, he gets the privilege to get under your skin. He keeps it clinical, however, he examines and treats you, saying little outside of what needs to be said. You have to ask to have the ring back - perhaps a punishment for taking it off in the first place.
Kaeya • Doomed if he does something, doomed if he doesn’t. He might tease you, warning that if you’re free to take off your ring, so is he - with all the freedom that comes with it. Whether it’s a joke or his best attempt at stopping you, that’s a mystery he himself has no clue about. It’s hot when you’re angry, it’s hotter when you take on someone with that fire in your eyes and that determination and drive. Yet there’s that little part of him that gnaws on the edge of his consciousness, the little part that’s asking what if he loses you. Sometimes tragedies happen, tragedies he might be helpless against - although whoever you’re fighting could hardly stand a chance against you, and subsequently him. Kaeya’s fist tightens around the ring. Of course, he doesn’t share his thoughts with you. No, he’ll wink at you and kiss you deeply, and he’ll hope some of his concern will make it through to you that way, hidden among lust and pride.
Kaveh • He chases after you with the ring in his hand, his feet faster than his head. You’ll win - and even if you don't, he won’t be ashamed of you! You don’t need to give the ring to him! Actually you should have the ring, it might help you knock the guy’s teeth out. Well, maybe not but he can dream. It’s what they deserve for making your temper flare up. He supports you loudly, embarrassingly loudly, and winces even louder whenever you get hit. He has to be held back from running to your rescue, which you absolutely don’t need. Kaveh insists he should carry you home afterwards, fussing over you with exaggerated worry. Refuses to give your ring back until he has you checked by a doctor. He’ll cling to you the whole time while chiding you for being irresponsible - only slipping up once or twice to compliment your technique.
Pantalone • He’d be offended if you didn’t take off your ring. It’s too valuable to get dirtied by the filthy blood of some nobody who managed to piss you off. He even pulls you in for a sweet kiss while you hand him the ring, and then he steps back and observes. Naturally you have to win. His presence, and your marriage, doesn’t allow the other guy any choice. If they lose, they lose. If they win, they die. (Pantalone of course wouldn’t allow your loss, he watches the fight unfold with a hand on his gun.) Your violence is most arousing to him; if there wasn’t a risk to your wellbeing, he could watch you like this all day. Controlled as always, he doesn’t let it show. Not until you’re alone again, if you’ve suffered no serious injuries, and only then does he ravish you. You don’t notice when he slips the ring back on your finger, but he runs his own fingers over it with extraordinary fondness later.
Wriothesley • He gawks at you and at the ring in his palm, and for a second his heart stops thinking he’s upset you, but then his eyes look up and down enough times that it registers in his brain that you are serious about this. And as proud as he is of you for standing up for yourself, he’s not about to let you get hurt… yet at the same time he’s intrigued and confident in his ability to save you should you need it - which he doubts you will. His weak attempt at trying to talk you out of fighting it out with the other guy falls on deaf ears. Obviously, Wriothesley didn’t even give it his best shot. He winces with every hit you take, his fingers twitching to go protect you. But he knows how stubborn you are, and he knows some fights need to be fought alone. Which doesn’t stop him from scolding you the moment you return to him, keep scolding you as he returns the ring on your finger and kisses every inch of your face. The praise comes later while he’s patching you up.
Cale Henituse isn't the type to express affection overtly. His reputation as a laid-back, seemingly lazy noble who’s more interested in a quiet life than grandeur is well-known. However, beneath that nonchalant exterior, Cale deeply values the people he cares about, even if he doesn’t always show it in the most traditional ways.
When you and Cale first got together, the idea of a grand romantic gesture would have made him groan internally. Still, he’s not immune to the idea of having something that connects the two of you, something that symbolizes the bond you share. But it had to be subtle—something that wouldn’t draw attention but would still hold meaning.
One day, during one of your quieter moments together, you suggested the idea of matching accessories. Initially, Cale raised an eyebrow at the thought, but as you explained it further—how it wouldn’t be anything flashy or overly sentimental, but rather something simple and meaningful—he eventually agreed. The idea of carrying a piece of each other, even when apart, resonated with him more than he’d like to admit.
The Bracelet
You both settled on matching bracelets. They were simple, yet elegant—a thin, durable band of black leather, with a small charm engraved with each other’s initials. Cale liked that the bracelet was practical; it wouldn’t get in the way of his day-to-day life, and it wasn’t something that would attract unnecessary attention.
He would wear it under his sleeve, where no one could see it. But every so often, when things got hectic, or when he found himself thinking of you, he’d discreetly touch the bracelet, a small, almost imperceptible gesture that grounded him. It was a way to remind himself of your presence, even when you were far away.
For you, the bracelet was a constant comfort, a symbol of Cale’s quiet affection. Unlike Cale, you didn’t mind if people saw it. To you, it was a subtle way to share a piece of your relationship with the world, a mark of the trust and understanding between you and him.
The Ring
As time passed, another matching accessory found its way into your lives—a pair of simple silver rings. You didn’t even discuss it beforehand; it just happened naturally, as many things with Cale do. The rings weren’t fancy, just a plain band with a tiny inscription inside—an inside joke between the two of you that never failed to bring a smile to your face.
Cale wore his ring on a chain around his neck, hidden beneath his clothes. It wasn’t that he was ashamed or didn’t want to show it off, but he liked the idea of keeping it close to his heart, away from the prying eyes of the world. He’d absentmindedly fiddle with it when he was lost in thought or when you were away on your own missions. It was a small comfort, a reminder that you were out there, thinking of him just as he was thinking of you.
For you, the ring was a source of strength. You wore it on your finger, and every time you glanced at it, you were reminded of Cale’s unwavering support, his unspoken promises, and his quiet but fierce love.
The Pendant
The final matching accessory was a pendant, one that you both received from Raon as a gift. The dragon, in his innocence, thought it would be nice for the two of you to have something magical that connected you, and who were you to refuse such a heartfelt gift? The pendant was small, a gemstone embedded in a silver setting, with a protective charm engraved on the back.
Cale appreciated the practicality of the charm. It wasn’t just a sentimental piece; it had a real, tangible use—protecting you when you needed it. He’d occasionally joke about how Raon’s gift was more useful than anything he could come up with, but you knew he treasured it just as much as the bracelet and the ring.
When Cale had to go on a dangerous mission, you’d hold the pendant close, silently wishing for his safe return. And when you were the one in danger, you knew that Cale was doing the same, hoping the charm would keep you safe until you were back by his side.
Cale’s Quiet Affection
Cale Henituse isn’t a man of many words when it comes to emotions, but his actions speak volumes. The matching accessories you both share are more than just tokens; they’re symbols of the unspoken connection between you. They’re a way for Cale to show his affection without having to say it out loud, something he’s never been particularly good at.
Every time you see Cale subtly touching his bracelet, or fiddling with the ring on his chain, you’re reminded of the quiet depth of his feelings. And even though he’ll never admit it, you know that these small gestures mean more to him than he’ll ever let on.
In his own way, Cale Henituse loves deeply and fiercely, even if he doesn’t show it in the traditional sense. The matching accessories are a testament to that—a small but significant part of your lives, a constant reminder that no matter where you are, you’re always connected.
i'm honestly waiting for goldie gramps. i have to do this, promise.
imagine platonic yandere! eruhaben with young dragon! reader. one day, he found an egg in front of his lair. at first he thought it was a normal egg. but he noticed that it wasn't.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who keeps saying that he doesn't care if the egg didn't hatch. yet, that night after he found it— he made sure to make a comfortable place for it inside his lair. then every night, he would spend his time watching the egg, wondering when will it hatch and everyday, he would wipe it convincing himself that he just didn't want to get his lair dirty when it truth he was quite worried that you might chew your egg shell once you hatch. so, if your egg shell is dirty, then you might get sick!
platonic yandere! eruhaben who was surprise when your egg finally hatch. he found himself mesmerized. you look cute, to be honest. the way you look around, seemed to be confused. eruhaben is not the type of person (dragon) who shows affection. but surprisingly, he found himself wants to shower you with one. let's add the fact that you were also a golden dragon so the two of you looks like a father and child duo.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who spent four months thinking of the name he will give you. and when you copied the way he said your name and giggled. eruhaben found himself smiling back at you. you're cute.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who thought that he spend his lifetime alone. but now, he had an adorable child following him around and calling him daddy. well, it's not like he was complaining or anything.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who acts like he didn't care but actually happy when you first polymorph as a human. it was a normal morning and he was about to call you for breakfast. but when he entered your room, he didn't see you there, instead he found a child sitting on your bed. a child with the same golden hair and ( color ) eyes as well as pointed ears. when that kid grinned brightly at him calling him daddy.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who now started buying a hundred of matching clothes that the two of you can wear. he even go far on going to the human market to buy a book containing several ways to style a child's hair. no, he can't let anyone call his child ugly.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who started to became possessive when you first met another dragon. he knew that dragons were curious creature. he knew that one day, you might leave him. because in eruhaben's eyes, you were still a child. well, technically you were a child since you're only 20 years old in human age. but still—!
platonic yandere! eruhaben who suddenly stopped teaching you about magic. it made you confuse, but you can't blame him! he started thinking things like— you might use his teachings against him to escape from him. dragons are known to be possessive and territorial, they doesn't let go and willing to die to protect their treasures. and it seems like eruhaben started seeing you as one.
young dragon! reader who got kidnapped by an organization after they raided eruhaben's lair while he was out buying some stuffs for your birthday. by the time he got back, seeing that you're not there and the blood on the floor. it made eruhaben snap.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who literally burn down the kingdom of the organization who kidnapped you. then later, after he saw you lifeless inside their headquarters. torture— they tortured his child. how dare them. how dare those people— eruhaben knew more than anyone else what happen to those dragons who didn't die because of natural death. and that made him more angrier than he was.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who started loathing humans after they killed you. but a few hundred years later, after meeting cale henituse. he was flabbergasted to find someone who looks like his child, have the same name as his child. but is not a dragon— instead, a mage.
it's still you, don't worry. the gods and goddesses gave you a second chance and reincarnated you into a human body. but surprisingly, you still became someone who is really good at magic and handling mana.
cale henituse found it odd how eruhaben seemed to adore you a lot. but didn't say anything because he doesn't want to anger the golden dragon. and it seems like he won't hurt you anyway.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who became 100 times more overprotective to now reincarnated! reader. he doesn't allow you out of his sight.
just imagine meeting a thousand year old dragon who told you to call him papa or daddy even though it was the first time you met him. but you see, you were quite obsessed with dragons yourself. so when he requested that, you immediately did that with a straight face. cale started to became quite worried about your mental state.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who refused to let you out of his sight. he started keeping you around him. and as a dragon fanatic, you were more than willing to stay with him.
platonic yandere! eruhaben who started using your obsession with dragons against you to make you stay by his side. you don't have to worry about anything because he will be more than willing to give you the world. so please, this time— don't leave him alone.
all in all, platonic yandere eruhaben is the definition of a protective yet lovable father when you were still a dragon. but now transformed as an overbearing, territorial parent who is now obsessed with keeping you safe.
it's just a secret, but now keeps you in cale's villa after you almost died in a battle. and the one who proposed that idea was cale henituse who almost got a heart attack after he saw you, being carried by choi han, bloodied and barely alive.
it looks like in this life, you have a couple of saints, a crown prince, some nobles, two red-heads, a couple of swordmaster, some dragons ( aside from eruhaben ), some assassins, a wolf, and a couple of cats who is worried for your safety. for the last time— you were not a dragon anymore so you better take care of yourself properly!
How do you think the two of them would act when they're in loveeeeeee? <3
(Rielle & Mina i mean)
I rewatched lots of Ariel, Jasmine, Eric, and Aladdin clips to help me write this, since I think Rielle and Mina would have traits of both princesses and princes ^^ It made me really appreciate how much emotion the Disney animators were able to convey in just the characters’ faces.
Curiouser and Curiouser…
Rielle…
… is the type to fall fast and fall hard. In a perpetual state of limerence.
He's terrible at hiding it. His expressions always give him away--those longing gazes that linger like the smell of the sea on the beach, snuck glances even when he knows his crush is looking. Always looks at his crush like they’re the most valuable treasure in the entire world.
It’s not even limited to The Looks he gives. There’s so many other telltale signs: sighing and giggling randomly, daydreaming, wandering with no destination in mind, rambling about nothing in particular, spacing out mid-conversation, etc.
Big believer in "love at first sight" and gushes to his friends about it. Gets defensive when Minajael someone else tells him, "Slow down. You can't marry someone you just met. You barely even know them." (Rielle’s response: “You can if it’s true love!!”)
… He speaks to statues and busts as though they were his crush. Like he’ll flutter his lashes, lean on the statues/busts, and swoon 😭 “What? Run away with you… B-But it’s so… sudden!!” No one knows if this is meant to be practice for the real thing or if it’s just Rielle’s imagination getting away from him.
He picks flower petals and plays the “loves me”, “loves me not” game! Sometimes he doesn’t do the game at all, he just dances around and smells the flowers, or plucks them and tucks them behind his (very confused) classmates’ ears.
When Rielle talks to his crush, he tends to play with his hair or clothes. (He just can’t stop fidgeting! His nerves get the better of him.)
He’s the type of guy to share everything with the people he likes, crush included. Here, have a bite of his food! Check out this new trinket he found! How about a ride on a horse-drawn carriage (Rielle will guide the horses :) Does he have experience? No, but it’ll be fun riding together, right?)?
Has a tendency to trail after the object of his affections like how a loyal pup might follow its owner around. He also actively drags his crush into activities with him, similar to how a big, excitable dog might tug someone along by the leash. Rielle wants to spend as much time with them as possible!!
Whenever he hangs out with them, local businesses frequently mistake the two for a couple. Rielle gets all bashful about it and asks if they really do look like a couple. Acts very overtly happy if he is affirmed.
He's touchy. Hugging and hand grabs are the norm for him, partly because he wants to be close with his crush and partly because he just goes by what feels "right" to him, social expectations aside. Gives greeting kisses on the cheeks too, a greeting from back home.
He tries to impress his crush with knowledge on cutlery and random everyday human items. (Rielle does not realize this would only impress a merperson with zero background on the world above.) Fixates on the concept of indirect kisses—those shared when people press their lips to the same eating utensils or cups.
If his crush makes a remark commenting on his cuteness or immaturity, Rielle pouts and insists that he’s SUPER grown-up! (He worries that they don’t see him as being mature enough to be in a romantic relationship.)
He likes to sing for his crush! It’s a chance for Rielle to share a part of merfolk culture—and himself—with them. The lullaby from his mother to lullaby him to sleep, the mermaid princess’s love song to her human prince… There’s many important pieces to impart!
Rielle’s reckless when it comes to love. He dashes in headfirst, regardless of the danger. If you’re sinking in a storm, Rielle’s the lifesaver that’ll bring you to shore and breathe life back into you.
Calls his dad on the phone to tell him about his newfound love (to which his dad disapproves). You’re pretty sure you overheard their argument at some point. “Papa, I LOVE them!” / “Not when you’re living under MY sea, mister! You’ll obey MY rules.” / “Well, I’m living on land now, and I’m a grown guppy that can make his own decisions!”
Rielle came close to kissing them once. They’d taken a little rowboat out to a lagoon listening to the sounds of nature and watching the fish and fireflies. With such a romantic setting, the two almost leaned in for a kiss—only for the boat to capsize last minute, soaking them! Rielle thankfully took it in stride and helped his crush up, letting them rely on him to get them safely back to shore and dried off.
Minajael…
… is initially cautious and guarded, but lets his walls down up over time. In spite of how nonchalant he usually is, love is something Mina takes seriously!!
He's used to people chasing him for his hand and employing all kinds of crazy tactics to try and trick him into reciprocating their advances. The first time he catches feelings, he's suspicious and doubts its authenticity. What if it's another trap or trick? He has to make certain this is "real" before he seriously pursues it.
Unlike Rielle, Mina has restraint and takes time to adjust and step into his newfound crush. He pays close attention to the object of his affections from a distance, judging their morals and character—are they a good match with his? The last thing he’d want to do is rush into things and end up wasting everyone’s time.
Mina tests his crush in subtle ways. For example, asking a difficult question and seeing if they answer honestly (even if the answer isn’t glamorous) or tell a convenient lie. How do they react to his prodding and teasing? What about a slight brush of the hand? He wants to see how they react.
When he finally, finally lets his heart decide for him, it may as well be a freefall. It’s so liberating to fully embrace those feelings, to act on them. He feels like he’s soaring, toppling, and freewheeling through the sky. Completely disregards his father's disapproval; has committed to reassuring his crush that they can run away together and start a humble, non-royal life.
Is a little more absentminded. Like he’ll catch himself lazily running his hand through water, or just staring after his crush, hand on his cheek, from the balcony.
Loves nothing more than putting on his commoner’s cosplay a casual outfit and just… hanging out, doing whatever it is that regular folks do—having those authentic moments with his crush. Window shopping, gaming at the arcade, eating at this WcDonald’s place, whatever. If they’re ever hesitant to go with him? “Don’t be,” he coaxes them with a wink, his hand extended. “Do you trust me? Then come on, show me a whole new world.”
He’s a teaser and flirter. It’s a thrill to be the one pursuing (rather than the one pursued) for once, and Mina’s particularly dangerous because he’s entirely aware of how strong his face card is + knows how to use his charm to its fullest.
He becomes increasingly bold as he familiarizes himself with his feelings and his crush’s comfort limits. His head laid on their shoulder, an arm wrapped around their waist, lowering his mouth to their ear to propose an escape to get up to some trouble.
Shows his crush pictures of his tiger back home, in that same way that a guy might show his dog to score brownie points. Who doesn’t love a guy that’s good with animals?
Although Mina comes off as cool and collected, he gets embarrassed talking about his crush with his friends. They tend to be giggly and nosy about it (“What’re they like? Tell me, tell me!” Rille pleads), and Mina finds that it’s difficult for him to formulate words. For a genius like him, being tongue-tied is a strange sensation—but he doesn’t dislike it. In fact, he loves the challenge it presents, how he has to find a way to overcome it and say what is really on his mind.
Doesn’t try to wow his crush with money. He goes for simple little things, genuine tokens of his affection. For example, an apple or a flower picked fresh from the tree! Mina thinks there’s more heart to these kinds of things than extravagant displays of wealth.
He’s not usually stern, but he absolutely can be if he senses that his crush is in danger. In these rare moments, Mina stands his ground, adopts a fierce look, and doles out commands a firm voice usually reserved for a future ruler issuing serious commands. “Release them—by order of the crown prince of the Scalding Sands.”
Of course, he’s gone on a nighttime magic carpet ride with his crush. Mina came to them on his magic carpet (no biggie for him) and invited them. Then off they went, zooming all over Sage’s Island, skimming the surfaces of water, hugging clouds, and being among the moon and the stars.
The magic carpet ride ends with him returning them home. He lingers, as do they, gazing at each other—until the magic carpet takes the initiative and makes them kiss! Mina apologizes for it after the fact, but also bravely admits that he doesn’t regret taking that leap of faith.
Would love a request based off the meme you made of "why does rollo flamme call you babygirl"
Untapped comedic potential i think
omg who could have sent me this .... I have no idea .....
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ princess treatment
summary: NRC students react to rollo sweeping you off your feet
type of post: headcanons
characters: rollo, then ace, deuce, leona, azul, and malleus being jealous asfuck
information: romantic, reader is yuu, reader is gender neutral (despite the title), 'rollo is a sweetheart' propaganda
When Rollo Flamme transferred to Night Raven College after the disastrous fire lotus ordeal, they'd been expecting chaos. Vitriol, hatred, fights, magic sparks flying, and definitely a lot of arson.
The Night Raven College students greeted him with magic pens drawn, a subtle warning: try it again and you're done for.
But Rollo Flamme is, in reality, a perfectly pleasant classmate when he's not trying to uproot the way of the world. A bit introverted, maybe a little cold and impersonal, but he wouldn't so much as sneer at the Night Raven College students in passing, and so all was forgotten (or, at least, put aside).
That was, until...
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Heartslabyul
Ace and Deuce didn't like the thought of you sharing a dorm with that guy, not one bit!
It took a lot of talking (and cherry pie bribery) to get them to come around, and when a few months had passed with no incident to tell, they mellowed out
...Then, suddenly, you're inviting Rollo on all of your outings, and your trio (not including Grim) became a quartet
Tolerable until Ace and Deuce realized Rollo had not one bit of interest in them, and would only make pleasantries out of politeness, likely for their beloved Prefect's sake (he never leaves your side)
What's worse is that Rollo is doing all the gentlemanly stuff that they never bothered to- holding doors for you, pulling out your chair, offering to carry your things... why didn't they think of that!! He makes them both look like Grade A jerks without even glancing their way
Noble Bell College is all about manners and formalities, after all
They try to bounce back by doubling their gentlemanly behavior, but somehow always end up fighting about which one of the two gets to link arms with you while crossing the street, or give you his coat when it's cold
...Then Rollo goes ahead and does it anyway while they're busy bickering with one another
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Savanaclaw
Leona didn't have any interest in Rollo to begin with
Listen, he wasn't at the masquerade ball. He never broke his back weeding fire lotuses, never singed off his eyebrows while battling in the bell tower (sorry, Azul), and in Leona's world, this meant they had no personal beef, thus he had no reason to care about the strange new transfer student
He wasn't even bugged that Rollo was being a perfect gentleman for you- in fact, he thought it was a good thing. Someone has to look out for you around here
It wasn't until he spotted you walking with him in the botanical gardens, when Rollo held out an arm to stop you mid-step
Leona narrows his eyes- trouble?
...But Rollo only points out that your shoelaces have loosened, and he kneels to tie them for you without thinking twice
Something about the gesture (and how CASUAL it is) makes Leona's eye twitch
He'll have to keep a better eye on that Rollo guy...
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Octavinelle
Azul didn't like Rollo to begin with, but now he's REALLY gotten on his nerves
The once kind, helpful Prefect, always willing to lend a hand (or an arm, or a leg, or a vital organ) to a fellow poor, unfortunate student, no matter the cost to themself?
...Suddenly saying no
Azul's art of the deal falls flat when Rollo is around, who delivers that steadfast and ready "No, thank you, good day," and whisks you away before Azul can even get a word in!
Not even the tweels are convincing- Rollo always makes you stand behind him when Floyd is around, and he refuses to even look at Jade
But it's not only that the Prefect is no longer an unpaid intern because of Rollo's intervention, it's that you actually listen to him
His judgments? His decisions? His muttered comments? You respect him enough to heed his warnings without question. You must think very highly of him...
...Azul can't help but feel a little jealous of that
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Diasomnia
Malleus was ready to put that nasty fire lotus business behind him
What? You thought he would be angry, vengeful, and possessive? Have you MET the guy? He takes no pleasure in hatred, violence is only a potential necessity, and, in all honesty, he was excited to have a member of the gargoyle studies club besides himself and the Prefect
...Maybe he puts too much faith in people, sometimes
Because Rollo Flamme maintained exactly zero interest in befriending, or even tolerating Malleus Draconia, and instead prefers following in your shadow, keeping his eyes pointed at potential threats to the magicless student he so adores
Malleus had never been particularly envious of your friendships with fickle, foolish boys, and besides that, your happiness was his happiness
...But this feels like Rollo is overstepping a boundary that Malleus didn't even know was there
He suddenly feels a great urge to have you closer, to impress you, to catch your attention
His displays of magic become even grander, his acts of chivalry even more dramatic, his kindness pushed to its limit (Sebek would kill hundreds to be in your position, but he was told to hold his tongue on the matter for the time being), and yet, still, you stay at Rollo's side
Malleus doesn't quite understand it. Cold, curt, and with more interest in old traditions than magical ingenuity, he seems like the very last person that you, of all people, would get along with
...And, yet...
Rollo walks you through the courtyard with linked arms, he always lets you have your first pick of the pastries he gets shipped from home, and he's sure to wrap an arm around your waist when he feels tension in the room, as if his first priority is always and forever keeping you safe
He speaks to you in that soft tone (reserved only for you, when he thinks no one is listening), and calls you dear Prefect
It would have angered Malleus, if it were anyone else- but this is someone he's beaten in battle before.... just on a different playing field
