SLENDERMAN — does not understand the concept of love. this isn't to say it can't feel it, it just... won't be able to immediately identify when it starts to develop such an emotion for you. it goes through many experiences where it has a moment of 'you are... an interesting being' towards you, and those are like mini realizations. it won't realize it loves you until someone explains to it what love is.
and once it does understand that the strange feeling you made it feel was love, well... it's a bit hesitant to indulge, to be honest. slender has never felt something like this before. it didn't even know it was capable of such an emotion. it's something it always viewed as a weakness. it'll take a while for slender to accept its feelings for you, to be honest.
JEFF THE KILLER — realizes he's in love with you when he shows up at your place one evening to find you struggling to stay awake while waiting for him. it hits him suddenly, seeing you drifting in and out of sleep while staring at your phone. you hadn't realized he was there yet, and honestly, he doesn't want you to know. because if you look over at him, you'll see the disgusting fondness in his gaze.
he won't tell you he loves you for a long time. it's something that makes him feel weak. he'd always believed he had nothing to lose, and now that he does... it's just not something he was ready to acknowledge. those three words will only slip past his lips when he thinks he's about to lose you, because that's the only way you'd probably get him to admit he loves you.
JANE THE KILLER — only realizes she's in love with you when jeff threatens your life. you two were friends, and she cared deeply for you, but it was nothing more than that, surely. but then that rat bastard dared to hurt you, and suddenly she's a teenager again, losing everything she's ever loved. your blood on her hands is something she never wants to experience again.
but you survive, and jane is telling you that she loves you the moment your eyes open. you don't have to love her back, but she needs to get these feelings off her chest because it felt like she'd drown in them if she didn't. whether you reciprocate them or not doesn't matter to her, because jane will make a vow to ensure that no harm comes to you ever again.
NINA THE KILLER — likes to say she knew she loved you from the start, but that was just infatuation. nina is a bit desperate for a relationship, truth be told, so she's deeply invested in anyone who shows her an ounce of kindness because she thinks it could lead to something more. it's led to her being disappointed far too many times, and everyone had assumed it would be the same with you.
but as the weeks went by, her infatuation never went away. you didn't try pushing her away when she was around, and you always included her in the conversation. you went out of your way to make sure she didn't feel neglected. at this point, she doesn't care if it's genuine love or not. all she knows is that you and her are meant to be together, and she will stop at nothing to make sure that happens.
HOMICIDAL LIU — has numerous reasons as to why he doesn't realize he's in love with you until it literally smacks him in the face. he's busy trying to kill jeff, he's never been in a relationship before, he thinks he doesn't deserve the happiness a relationship might give him. just about all of that, all wrapped up into one giant mess of a ball. the way he realizes he's in love with you is sully literally screaming at him in his head and giving him the world's worst migraine.
even with this realization, he hesitates to indulge. once he does, he'll be baring all his flaws to you. you'll see every nasty part of him that he doesn't want you to know about, and you'll realize that he's no good for you. but when those words of love quietly escape him, and you smile at him and tell him you feel the same, he can't stop himself from being selfish. just this once, he decides. and if you ever want to leave, he'll let you go. he hopes.
SULLY — experiences something akin to love at first sight, actually. the moment he met you, he liked you. it was a strange fascination, one that had his heart racing when he was fronting. of course, he's not delusional enough to think it was actually love. still, it doesn't stop him from admiring you, and constantly telling you that he likes you whenever the chance presented itself. the moment it turns to genuine love, however, it's like this switch flips.
the playful glint in his eyes whenever he'd dramatically drape himself over you, the smug smile when he'd get you flustered, it was different. his touch lingered now, like he wanted to just be glued to your side. his smile was softer, like seeing you flustered was something more than a joke. his eyes held an emotion in them that was bordered on uncanny, like he wanted to devour you whole. his love for you could easily become twisted, if under the right circumstances.
THE BLOODY PAINTER — has absolutely no interest in romance whatsoever until you. helen's entire childhood revolved around being good enough for his parents, so he never had the opportunity to read romance novels or watch romance movies. now it's simply not something he cared about. the only thing that had his attention was his art. it was a part of his very being, after all. and the way you interact with his art is actually what made him fall for you.
he's used to people complimenting his work. empty words, things that meant nothing to him. but you criticized him. you pointed out certain things about his paintings that you didn't like, and highlighted the things you did. you were honest with him. and honesty is a quality he finds to be very attractive, apparently, because you end up stuck in his mind, the focal piece of all his work. his muse. something that bordered on obsession.
NURSE ANN — has a hard time feeling emotions to begin with, so she probably won't realize she loves you for a long time. her emotions are... dull, to put it simply. vague things that she struggles to identify. if it's not anger, then it'll take her a while to identify how she feels. it takes even longer for her to even articulate her emotions into something she can explain to you, considering she can't speak.
but ann realizes she's in love with you randomly one night, when you're not around. you're in her mind a lot more than she would like, but it's not something that upsets her. she spent a good chunk of the night wandering the halls of the abandoned hospital just... thinking about how she feels about you, and what the proper way to describe that feeling would be. she's not sure if she's ever been in love before, but she'd like to experience it with you.
EYELESS JACK — realizes he loves you in bits and pieces, over the course of your companionship. originally, he had wanted to eat you. but for one reason or another, he opted not to, and it led to a strange friendship blossoming instead. you took his demonic nature in stride, and never seemed repulsed by his less than human qualities. you appeared curious, more often than not. your curiosity is the first thing he finds himself falling in love with.
but the thing that solidified his feelings for you was when he paid you a visit one night, and you had excitedly guided him to this mini freezer you had bough a while ago. inside was just... numerous things of raw meat. animal meat, you had explained, because you weren't willing to dabble in illegal activities to get human meat. you just wanted him to be able to snack on something whenever he decided to spend the night, and he just... he ends up kissing you right then and there, yeah.
LAUGHING JACK — refuses to believe that he could ever fall in love with you. he's evil, he's cruel, he's never going to experience such stupid feelings like love. but it's like the universe is always out to make a fool out of him, because you come crashing into his life and suddenly colors start appearing again, and he hates it. he hates you, hates that you make him feel something after spending centuries feeling nothing.
and yet, he's somehow always finding excuses to be in the same room as you. he's stubborn enough to not admit that he's in love with you for a long time, but trust that his abandonment issues will make it known that he would kill you if you ever thought about leaving him. love him, hate him, he doesn't care as long as you're with him.
HOBO HEART — didn't think he could fall in love again after what happened with celina. he spent decades roaming the earth, taking the hearts of those who didn't deserve it, just to prolong his own existence before he met you. he could sense the purity in your heart, and it's what drew him to you to begin with. he was waiting for you to reveal your true colors, to give him a reason to kill you and take your heart but... it never came.
instead, you just proved to him that he could fall in love even without having a heart of his own. it's different from the first time he felt like this, and yet it was oh so familiar. the only possible downside to hobo being in love with you is the fact that he takes everything very literally, so anything you say is like the law of existence to him. he'll give you the hearts of hundreds of people to prove his devotion to you.
TICCI TOBY — realizes he's in love with you when he finds himself seeking out your presence. love is a scary thing to him, because he's not sure it's something he can handle. not anymore. he built up so many walls just to protect himself that it was... terrifying, really, how easily you were able to worm your way into his life. what confused him the most was the fact that he welcomed you.
it'll take him a while to actually come to terms with his feelings for you. he may even go as far as to avoid you entirely during the process, simply because you being around made it hard for him to focus. he never wanted a relationship, not that he can remember. being a proxy is all he knows, but now he's thinking about kissing you, and spending time with you, and wondering if you'll try talking to him today, and... it's all you.
CLOCKWORK — knows that she's in love with you when you don't distance yourself from her when you see her ugly side. her angry outbursts, her random breakdowns, things that she doesn't like people seeing. you've seen it all, and you've never let that change the way you viewed her. a part of her hates that you're so accepting, because it makes it so damn easy to get attached to you, and she's always wondering when the other shoe will drop.
natalie doesn't like feeling weak, but god... you make it so easy to just let loose, and it's a feeling she starts to crave when she's away from you for too long. i don't think she'll tell you she loves you, mostly because she's got this idea instilled in her head that if she does, you'll drop her immediately. if this relationship were to go anywhere, you'd have to take the first step.
JASON THE TOYMAKER — is telling you he loves you the moment he decides you're the one for him. he does this with all of his victims. but you won't be like the rest, surely. you'll stay, and never need anyone other than him. but he doesn't realize that he's truly, deeply, in love with you until it just hits him while he's in the middle of sewing up some random stuffed animal. jason loves you. it's a revelation that shouldn't shock him, but it does.
and the next time he sees you, the words are tumbling out of him mouth as he wraps his arms around you, squeezing you so tightly that you felt like you'd suffocate in his arms. you were the one for him. you had to be. nobody has ever made him feel like this before. the place where his heart should be burned whenever you were around, and it's such an odd feeling that he was becoming obsessed with. you can't leave him, and he won't let you even if you tried.
THE PUPPETEER — staunchly refuses to acknowledge his feelings for you for a very long time. he's always had a bit of a soft spot for you the moment he made you his proxy, but he ignored it. he'd even get angry if anyone brought it up, because no. he is not in love with you. you're merely a tool for him to use, nothing more. but as time went on, it was getting harder and harder to ignore the aching in his chest whenever you were around.
it all tips over when he catches you carefully tending to emra's injuries while he had been away. he's been known to be very possessive of his creations, not letting anyone touch them but him. but you hadn't known when he'd be back, and emra needed her hand fixed, and he just... you were being so careful with her, treating her like the masterpiece that she was. he'll never say the words, but you'll know in the way he's gentler with you. the way his touch lingers, and the way golden strings always seem to coil around you whenever he's near.
THE DOLL MAKER — seems like the type of person who will only truly fall in love with someone who is as passionate about his work as he is. the moment he catches you carefully moving one of his dolls around like it was something to be treasured, or if you decide to make little accessories to match the outfits he designs... well, the wedding is already planned out in his head and he's wondering when to pop the question.
in all seriousness, he'd take his time before he ever told you how he felt. vine isn't experienced in the world of romance, so he doesn't know when the right timing would be to confess his love. he just hopes that it's something that he's made obvious in his other actions. but when he does decide to tell you those three words, he hopes that you'll say them back.
ZALGO — similarly to slender, did not think he could feel such an emotion. he was a being that transcended human understanding, after all. he made people go insane with a single thought, so how could he ever possibly feel something such as love? the mere idea was enough to have him laughing. no. something such as that wasn't possible. but then you come into his life. a strange, curious human with far too much confidence around an eldritch horror.
zalgo will make you understand the horrors that come with having him love you. you became a deity in the eyes of his numerous cults, essentially. there's no telling how many people have been sacrificed in your honor. how many loved ones you've lost, simply because you had made a creature beyond your understanding love you. it's not pretty. it's cruel, and gruesome, and you will never be able to leave him.
X-VIRUS — is that slow burn sort of realization. honestly, he seems like he's the type to be oblivious to romance unless it's laid on thick. to him, for a long time, you're just a really close friend who sometimes helps him with his experiments. cody will only realize his feelings for you if you start spending time with someone other than him. your absence is something he becomes painfully aware of, to the point that it makes it impossible to focus on anything.
he's not the possessive type by any means, but there's this feeling of jealousy in his gut when he sees you with someone else. that's when it clicks in his mind, 'oh. i'm in love.'. i want you to picture a classic friends to lovers romance, with a side of medical experimentation and murder. cody would like to think his confession was super romantic and the greatest thing ever, but no. no, he stumbles over his words, he's nervous, and he's just hoping you'll reciprocate his feelings.
LAUGHING JILL — finds herself falling in love with you when she realizes she can feel when you're around. the usual bitterness and anger that she felt on a constant always seemed to die down around you, and that joy that she came into existence with bubbled to the surface. it was childish, almost, the way she got excited whenever you wanted to include her in something. no matter how small, she took any excuse she could just to spend time with you.
it's too the point where jill feels as if she cannot exist without you. you've become so intertwined with her existence that she feels as if she'll die without you. it's unhealthy, and she knows this, but she finds it hard to care when the happiness you bring with you was just too addicting for her to give up.
CANDY POP — wasn't the type to grow attached to people easily. he had friends, sure, but it had taken him ages to actually refer to them as such. to him, everyone is a toy for him to play with however he pleases. you were meant to be just that, and yet you somehow turned the tables on him and he ended up falling in love with you like a pathetic fool. it's a realization that has him reeling, because he didn't think love was something he was capable of.
candy tries to be the picture perfect suitor you could only dream of having, he really does, but if you're not reciprocating his feelings within the first week of him confessing to you, he's dropping the act and just taking you for himself. you lost all choice in the matter the moment he entered your life, actually. and if you're really adamant on getting away from him, then trust that he will not hesitate to drag you into the abyss he's tethered to.
DR SMILEY — won't realize he's in love with you until you're already dead. you were just a victim of his that he kept around far longer than he normally did, but the silence that surrounded him when you were no longer around was... haunting. he tries to replace you, thinking another victim crying and begging for mercy would fill the silence but it just wasn't the same.
they didn't make his heart race the way you had. he didn't feel that excitement he had felt when he was with you. he won't call it love, but it was a strong enough feeling that it had him gathering the pieces of your body. he's a doctor. he'll stitch you back together, and bring you back to him. and when you wake from the dead to see the sharp smile of the man who killed you, you'll realize that there's truly no escaping him.
KAGEKAO — isn't a stranger to romance. he's had his fair share of relationships, what with sadie and then realizing he's gay and the awkward breakup that came with that, plus the numerous flings and situationships. you were meant to be nothing more than another situationship, and maybe even a victim if he got bored of you, but... that boredom never came. and neither did the end of your weird relationship.
kagekao somehow always ended up at your place whenever he wasn't off tormenting some poor soul. then he started to pop up whenever he was bored, and he'd somehow always end up staying the night. there were times when he'd even bring over some cheap takeout and wine. he knew he was gone when you rested your head on his lap while you two were watching some silent film, and the movie suddenly seemed irrelevant to the feeling of you. ah... you'll keep him entertained for a while, he's sure of it.
NATHAN THE NOBODY — is so obsessed with finding the people who kidnapped his sister that he never has the energy to focus on anything else. anyone he perceived to be part of the organization was an immediate target, and that's basically everyone he meets. so you have to be real special right off the bat for him to even not think about killing you. and lucky for you, you were his sister's best friend. you weren't part of the organization, you were safe. you could be trusted.
so when someone tries hurting you, it's like the entire world narrows down to that person. crystal would hate if anything happened to you, and nathan... seeing your face contort in pain had this sick feeling in his chest. you were terrified of him, the blood on his hands sticking to your skin as he pulls you into a suffocating hug, his heart pounding. the thought of losing you had never occurred to him, and while he doesn't label the feeling as love, he definitely doesn't plan on letting anything happen to you. no matter what, he'll keep you safe.
ZERO — cannot feel love the way other people feel it. love isn't even in her vocabulary. her only interest in this world is to kill anyone she comes across, to revel in their pain and agony because that's just how she is. yet somehow, she took an interest in you. you can kiss your normal life goodbye, because the moment she decides you're worth keeping around, she's not letting you go until she wants you dead. in her mind, you belong to her now.
so it's not love. not a healthy kind, at least. it's a desire to own, a need to claim. don't worry, though, she'll make sure to take good care of you. anyone who causes you trouble is nothing more than another story for the local news, and all she wants in return is a simple thank you and kiss on the cheek. she loves playing house with you! she'll be a great girlfriend as long as you play along.
JUDGE ANGELS — is wholly oblivious to romance as a whole. her entire life, she was sheltered. even years after becoming the murderer she is today, she never formed any bonds with people. none that were positive, at least. but then you came along. someone that dina found herself getting attached to the longer she spent time with you. she didn't understand why her heart raced whenever you got too close to her, and the feeling was overwhelming enough that she ended up pushing you away because she thought it was something bad.
with enough time, and exposure, she'll come to realize that the feelings she has for you aren't bad. she'll always be worrying about doing something wrong that'll make you hate her enough to leave her. you're the first person she's ever loved, the first person to love her. she can't lose that. just promise that you won't leave her, even if you stop loving her.
KATE THE CHASER — shouldn't have fallen in love to begin with. her sole reason of existence was slenderman, so she shouldn't care for anything else. she kept herself distant from the other proxies for that reason, because she didn't feel the need to connect with anyone. she was fine in her solitude. she wasn't meant to fall in love, so why does she feel so alive when you spend time with her?
you were always accommodating to her, visiting her when it was dark out and making sure you never shined your flashlight at her whenever you two went on walks through the forest. it's a relationship that will never work out, because proxies aren't meant to be anything but a vessel for slender. and yet, as time goes on, her feelings only get stronger and stronger, and she wonders... maybe it's okay to be selfish and indulge in you.
ROUGE THE PROXY — certainly didn't think she would fall in love after everything she's been through, and yet here she is, hovering around you like a guard dog as you dealt with the target you were meant to kill. she knew you could handle yourself, you're a proxy after all, yet she stood there, waiting. even after the mission was over, she would linger for a bit just to make sure you were safe.
her feelings for you are no secret. every proxy, including you, were aware of the special place you had in her heart. yet your relationship with her was so vague. she hasn't asked you out, but you two already act as if you're dating. it's this really strange 'will they, won't they' situation that all the proxies have made bets on. she's content with how things are now, though, so it might take time for her to actually verbalize her feelings for you.
TIM WRIGHT — is a little more confident before the events of marble hornets, so if he realizes he's in love with you during that time period, he won't have too much trouble telling you. maybe he'll need brian to hype him up a bit, and maybe he'll be a bit awkward when he does tell you that he's head over heels in love with you, but he still manages to tell you.
but tim during and after the events of marble hornets? total opposite. everyone he knew and loved died, and it's all his fault. how could he ever allow himself the privilege of your love when it's something he knows he doesn't deserve? even if you were to try and take the initiative, he'd turn you down. you can do so much better than him. getting close to him is basically signing your death certificate, and he's already lost so much. he's not sure if he can bear the pain of losing you, too.
BRIAN THOMAS — out of the entire marble hornets cast, save for maybe jessica, is the most in tune with his emotions. the moment he developed a romantic interest in you, he was asking you out. when he wasn't helping alex with marble hornets or hanging out with tim, he was taking you out on dates and solidifying his interest in you. he had actually planned on dropping the love bomb after the filming wrapped up, but...
even though he can't remember, he knows you. the man in the hoodie feels something for you. it's different from the protectiveness he feels for tim. for some reason, he doesn't want you involved in this mess. the moment jay reaches out to you and drags you in, he's doing everything he can to get you out. there were cryptic warnings directed towards you specifically, and when jay or tim weren't around, you'd sometimes catch him watching. you were scared, but you had made a vow that you wouldn't back out until you find brain.
JAY MERRICK — didn't think he'd really fall in love with someone while investigating the tapes, but he did. hard. he had met you early on since you were the first person part of the marble hornets crew he was able to get into contact with. it's almost scary how easily you guys hit it off. before things went to shit, jay really thought you two would become good friends. and unfortunately, jay doesn't realize he's in love with you until he's dying.
his entire life flashed before his eyes the moment alex shot that gun, and all he could think about was you. you, who stood by his side throughout this whole experience. you, who desperately tried to keep him from getting in too deep. you, who he had carelessly shrugged off because the operator's influence was far too strong. he can only hope you make it out of this hell alive.
ALEX KRALIE — will never realize he's in love with you post-operator. the feelings will be there, but he's already too far gone to go deep into what they might mean. all he knows is that he's desperate to kill you first, to get you out of this mess early on. it's because you two are close friends, that's all. and the hollow feeling left afterwards if he's successful is a price he's willing to pay.
but pre-operator alex will find himself falling in love with you when you support his passions. the moment he talks about marble hornets with you, you're passionate about supporting him, and it had him getting all nervous. he'll even offer you a role in the project, either as an actor or just crew if you're not comfortable with being filmed. anything to be able to spend more time with you. he had planned on asking you out on an official date when filming wrapped up.
JESSICA LOCKE — is stuttering over her own words the moment she locks eyes with you for the first time, because she is just that captivated by you. it's not love at first sight, but she definitely wants to take you out on a date. it's only with amy's encouragement that she actually does, and you two just... naturally hit it off that it sorta became a casual thing.
but she realizes she's in love with you when all this shit with marble hornets has blown over, and you're the first person she thinks of. she'd been missing for months, and you probably thought she had ghosted you. it's a little mortifying, honestly. she can't explain what happened, but she hopes you'll be willing to let her back into your life. because she really really really wants to be your girlfriend.
Characters in this : Tobias Rogers / Ticci Toby , Cody / X-virus
How did you and Cody meet?
you sat on the couch, knees pulled up to your knees as you looked at the TV screen in front of you
You weren’t actually paying attention. You were zoned out. Thinking about life
You have a boring life. Wake up,work,sleep,repeat
But you do have a best friend,Toby. You don’t even remember how you and him met. Probably at the diner. He was well..like your only friend.
Most co-workers you had were old,grumpy people.
You snapped out of your thoughts when you got a notification from Toby,a smile crept upon your face.
You wonder who this “friend” was. You really thought Toby was well..like you. No friends,besides each other
You got up from your spot on the couch with a huff,you better get a good sleep so you’re not a mess in front of the new dude.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
You woke up,got ready,went to work.
You returned home by the afternoon. You got another text from Toby.
Simple one saying “we’ll be at the diner soon”
That kind made you rush to get out of your work clothes and put something comfortable but cute on. You did your hair in a rush. You didn’t have time for make up so you just forgot it.
You walked to the diner,being hit with the smell of burgers and fires. You look around and see Toby waving you over. You quickly walk over sitting next to Toby.
You looked at the boy he brought. He looked..good. He had brown hair,gorgeous eyes and a handsome ass face if you had to say so.
You introduce yourself to the boy. He nods and replies with
“I’m Cody.”
You nod,smiling.
The hangout passed by smoothly. Jokes,eating,being happy.
You all walked out after paying.
“Uhm Cody..could I get your number yk..like as friends?”
Cody seemed slightly nervous. “Oh uh—yeah yeah—“ he grabbed your phone typing the number in.
Toby stood next to Cody with a shit eating grin. He wiggled his fucking eyebrows at you.
“J-Jeez. Didn’t know you w-w—fuck.—that easy.” Toby spoke,still with the grin on his face. You wanted to punch even though you knew he wouldn’t feel it.
“It’s not like that!” Both you and Cody. At the same exact time.
You all three bursted into laughter.
When you got home? You were happy to have another friend,that’s really handsome,and funny..and—oh shit.
“Holy fuck I am that easy.” You said,out loud,to yourself..god you felt crazy sometimes

──────── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ────────
You and Iceberg have known each other for years, and within those unspecified years you two barely got along with one another. You two constantly bumped heads, whether that be through you two trying to one up one another, or from just constant spats within empty lab rooms. You two had to constantly be dragged away from one another, everyone truly believed you two despised one another.
Or so.. that's what you two made everyone think.
You two were smart, both of you would even stroke one another's egos by saying you were perhaps the smartest duo within the entire Foundation. You both had fooled everyone, just to keep them all from ever guessing what you two truly were.
Now, years ago back when you two had first met- the hatred was real. You despised Iceberg for their 'superiority complex' as you called it, Iceberg always acting as if they were better than you in everything. Meanwhile Iceberg gave back the same energy due to how he perceived you, believing you were trying to one up them in everything.
This went on for two whole years, you two pushing each other buttons, both acting as if they themselves were far more superior than the latter, bumping heads at every which direction. It only came to a boiling point when your shared venomous words became physical one day.
You were stationed within a lab, just working on some files on SCP-069 'the shapeshifter'. You enjoyed your peace, listening to the site radio as it played some classical music over the air. Saint-Saëns The Swan, only remembering it due to how much it tended to play through the site's speakers. As you crossed out a test your team had just completed with a satisfied hum, the wired door slid open with a hiss and in stepped the man you loathed.
You looked up out of habit, having expected an intern walking in to use the copier, or one of your team members walking in to drop off some more notes on SCP-069. Instead, there Iceberg stood giving you something short of a brief scowl. You looked away with your own scowl, giving the man a side eye before looking back down at your work.
It was silent between you two, just the sounds of your writing and the copier in the space you occupied. Thinking back on it, you couldn't remember what started the scuffle- maybe you had said something about the copier, maybe they had mocked you for something. But all of a sudden, your years of heated words and venomous insults had boiled over, finally leading to you two becoming physical.
Neither of you could remember who threw the first punch, was it even a punch? Maybe it was a kick to the shin, or an elbow to the ribs. Once again neither of you could remember, what you two could remember though was the closeness- one another's breath on each other's skin, each of your hands gripping onto one another, hands pulling hair. You were fighting, throwing punches, slaps, kicks, whatever you could... until it wasn't.
Somewhere in the midst of insults, bruising hits and hatred- you two stopped. You two stared at one another with ragged breaths, blood dripped out of your nose, a bruise was forming on Icebergs cheek, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he bore his teeth. The you two clashed again, instead of physical blows to the stomach and pulling each other's hair though- you two kissed.
Their hands concealed by their gloves held your face tightly almost bruising, your arms wrapping around their waist in a bone crushing embrace. You two were sat on the floor, a few papers strewn around you both as you locked lips, your legs caged them under you, their hands gripped at your attire to keep you close. Making out like you were star crossed lovers who had been separated by war only now reunited, you two only parted once it became hard to breath. Looking to each other, ready to dive in again and ruin each other in that small suffocating lab.
Iceberg of course had the sense to not pull back in, reminding you of the fact anyone could walk in. You both parted from each other again, just so you both could sneak out. Checking around corners while you gripped Icebergs sleeve like a lifeline, tugging them along when you deemed the coast was clear. Till you both made it back to his assigned room, the door not closing fast enough till you both were on each other again. Their hands gripping at your attire as they pulled you to the couch, Iceberg falling back on it with a huff.
They were trembling as they ripped their gloves off, wanting to actually feel the warmth of your skin. An action that caused you to jolt "Dammit- Iceberg warn me before your freezing hands touch me." You snapped, not liking how your body reacted to his touch. He only rolled his eyes, pushing your [top choice] up, bunching up the fabric "stop being such a baby and fuck me already."
Once again, you both were impatient nearly ripping your [top choice] off in the midst of your hurried undressing. Iceberg shifting under you to at least tug their pants down far enough to pull his already hardened member out, obviously not wanting to take all his clothes off and suffer the consequences with how his body worked. An utter pain in the ass given they wanted to feel more of you, but his body temperature refused that.
Meanwhile your clothes were flung about, landing 343 knows where. You didn't care truthfully, you just needed the desperate man under you, the man you hated with every fiber of your being. One whose cold hands trailed up your waist as if he were worshipping you, and eyes that burned with not lust but utter desire.
The couch creaked underneath you both, his hands moving down to your hips, gripping them tightly as you rocked against him finally. Fast, messy, impatient. Neither of you were slow, nor gentle. You moved above him as if this was common between you both, as if you both hadn't been treating the other like a disease for the past two years. You felt nothing but pure desperation to soothe that searing heat inside of you. One only Iceberg could subdue funnily enough.
You took satisfaction at the man under you, reduced to a mess of whimpers, moans, desperate pleas to 'keep going' to 'not stop' as his coursed fingers dug into your hips. Their words soon becoming nothing but a jumbled mess of curses, showing just how long it's been since they've been intimate with another.
"Fuck- fuck- fuck-! [Y/n]-! Dammit-!" A strew of curses left his mouth as he threw his head back, desperate ragged breathes sounding in the room around you. Their chest heaving up and down as their head sunk into the couch cushion below, his neck aching from the position as he arched his back, feeling you even deeper. They ignored the ache; they'd suffer the consequences later.
By the time you both had finished the deed you two never thought in a million years you'd do with the other. Icebergs hair was knotted, strands sticking out and some stuck to their face. Their hair a mess from your hand gripping it while you had ridden him, trying to ground yourself. Dried up drool sat in the corner of his mouth; one they wiped away with an embarrassed grumble once you pointed it out in a tease. Your hips held small bruises in various places while scratches lined your lower back, all from Icebergs desperate hold on you. Both of your bodies trembling and sweaty, you both not entirely sure if the trembling was from just how cold Iceberg and his room were, or if it truly was from your earlier activity.
Iceberg helped you to their room, both of you stumbling from how jelly both of your legs felt, leaning against one another so neither of you got hurt. His door opened with a hiss, their room looking just the same as any other. Minus a few journals strewn on his desk and some posters taped up on the wall opposite of their bed.
You both flopped onto the bed, not even caring you both were all sticky and sweaty. Both of you too tired to care, immediately falling asleep once your bodies made contact with the mattress.
By the time the sites morning chime went off, the speakers rambling on words of encouragement and announcements. When you two registered who exactly was sleeping beside them, neither of you knew how to react. You both were obviously conscious last night, you both remembering the events that led up to where you both were now. But now you both had to face the music.
To say it was awkward was an understatement- You two weren't sure how to proceed with this. Did either of you even hate the other now? Neither of you felt like you could after last night, you both wanting it to happen again, maybe even build something... more intimate.
You both agreed on not wanting your new relationship public, one reason being that Jackie had told you both separately he was betting on this exact thing happening. Neither of you wanted to give the immortal researcher the satisfaction... Nor anyone else who had thrown money into that betting pool. Another reason being the mere idea on others commenting on your relationship, you both frowned in annoyance just imaging it. Whether the comments were genuinely nice or not didn't matter, they all felt invasive.
You both were sat on the same couch you were sure you two nearly broke during your little romp, only this time you both were sat on opposite ends keeping a respectful distance from one another. Iceberg hadn't been in an actual relationship in a good while, people obviously thrown off not only by his attitude but by how cold their body always was. They weren't all too sure how to proceed with this, but you reassured him.
With your words they gave you a chance to walk away
"I'm not the best at relationships, I'm rusty." He stated as if that would deter you.
You could only chuckle, following up his statement with your own input "and an asshole." The words making the cold man give you a small glare, one you were unsure if it held malice given his face remained cold. You only saw it was playful once the corner of their lips rose upwards, and a small raspy chuckle escaped from their lips.
"So, we still act like how we usually do and just communicate on private comms?" You asked Iceberg, looking to the man as he fidgeted with his winter gloves now, messing with a part that stuck out as he nodded, his eyes not leaving his winter gloves as they spoke.
"Yeah." They were blunt with it, that was just how Iceberg was though. "No one needs to know what we do."
Just as you both had agreed to, you both kept up the 'sworn enemies' act around the Foundation. To everyone else you two still acted the same, venom laced in each other's words, glares thrown to one another across rooms, small spats breaking out between you both every now and then. No one was none the wiser how you two spent your evenings, everything was still the usual with you both.
Sometimes when Iceberg was feeling caring, they'd pull you into a blind spot when they were sure no one else was around. Making sure you knew he didn't mean what he said that he still obviously cares for you. Sometimes you two would share brief kisses in those spots, nothing more than that though.
You two tended to always meet up in each other's assigned rooms, but whenever one of you felt someone was getting suspicious you two would meet up in abandoned offices instead. Just to melt into each other's arms briefly, share a few kisses, vent about the various frustrations you two came to have when working at the Foundation. Then, you both would part separately to your respective rooms.
As you and Icebergs relationship blossomed, you both never spoke on it- but you two could see the similarities you two shared. Perhaps this arrangement wouldn't be something either of you regretted...
──────── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ────────
Now onto the head canons!
You both tease each other ruthlessly, physically and verbally. All in an attempt to rile the other up for later. You two are obviously careful with it though, not wanting to get caught or attract unwanted gazes that may start thinking there is more between you two.
Example of this is say- Iceberg passing by you in the crowded lab you both were conveniently assigned to. When no one's looking, he'll trace his hand up your back as they reach over to grab something. Nothing they even need most likely, he just wanted to touch you. When you shift your eyes to give them a side glance, you never miss the small smile he gives before standing back up. Their expression reverting back to the same cold 'resting bitch face' he always had.
Given he is still very much an ass, sometimes he'll sneakily take off his winter glove and press their cold hand onto whatever exposed skin you have. Enjoying the way you tense up and jolt, giving them the nastiest glare before huffing and looking away. He still enjoys annoying you, getting a kick out of it. That's fine though, you'll get your payback later.
They're usually always sneaky with it though, he'll never do anything that'll draw attention [not in public at least.] You two could be sitting across from one another in the lunchroom, you writing down your notes as you pretended to be annoyed by their presence while they acted indifferent while munching on their food.
Then you'll feel his shoe rubbing against your leg, starting at your ankle before it inches up to your calve, your knee, your thigh and then right back down. All while he chewed on whatever the Foundation decided to serve that day, and you being unable to concentrate from them playing fucking footsie under the table.
They're a switch. Some days Iceberg enjoys pinning you underneath them, teasing you till your whining and cursing his entire bloodline and other times he prefers to be a whimpering desperate mess under you. It really just depends on the day, if their day has been stressful, he'll want to be in control [just so they feel they have some sort of control in their life.] While on less stressful days, they'll prefer you to take charge.
When you take control please for the love of 343, pull this man's hair. You'll always hear some noise come from him when you do so, a whimper, a moan, an 'oh god' even. Oh, and if you praise them while pulling their hair... Yeah, it's all over the fucking screen bro.
When they're in control please tell him how good he's doing, again the man hasn't fucked since 343 knows when. If you tell them they're doing a good job, that they're hitting the right marks, he'll be fucking drooling over you LMAO
He doesn't care what you lean towards, if you're a dom then cool, if you're a sub then alright. I would imagine they would prefer a switch too, but I also imagine Iceberg is with you cause they obviously like you and not for the sex lol. He may just act a little annoyed when he's acting one way and wishes he was the other.
MUNCHBERG!! Sorry, I'm a sucker for assholes that will fold over immediately for their partner lol. Def a service top and a service bottom, but no matter what he's feeling he looooves giving you head. They love seeing how whiney and desperate you get, how your hands grip his hair, how your rock your hips against him trying to get him to go deeper/get more pleasure from his tongue.
Eh, I don't imagine Iceberg as a person who has a whole scroll of kinks, unlike someone... [cough cough Jackie cough cough.] He leans more-so towards vanilla sex, mostly cause they also haven't had much experience [virginberg propaganda.] I mean they do obviously have a praise kink, that gets found out later on in your relationship though. They might be open to somethings if you wanna try them, but don't expect him to be willing to dangle from the damn ceiling in a sex swing or anything lol
As I have stated multiple times, Ice boy here is not very 'public' regarding relationships. He doesn't see much of a reason to tell everyone who they're with. But hey! Don't get him wrong, he clearly loves you, they especially make that known whenever you two are alone. By holding you close, listening to your vents, your rambles, whatever you have on your mind. All while he plays with the ends of your hair/rubs his un-gloved hands up and down your back.
I imagine the only person he'd tell is probably Gears, but that's only cause the senior researcher was a rather observant old geezer. "Iceberg. Are you and Mr/Miss/Mx. [Y/N] an item?" Icebergs pen fucking dropped at the question, looking over at their boss for a solid three seconds, almost debating on lying before just stumbling an answer out "uh- yes- yes sir-" Gears just hums then, nodding before going back to his work "I see." After that Gears treats you with a little more hospitality than usual.
When it comes to everyone else, he's just so used to being 'picked on' by other researchers. So why the hell do they deserve to know who he's with? They don't feel a need to let any of your friends know either, they trust you to not cheat and he rarely ever feels jealousy.
If you can't handle not being open with your relationship, Iceberg understands. He'll give you plenty of chances to walk away, they'll be hurt of course if you did but they'll understand once the hurt has faded. But if you stay, they feel they owe you the damn world for that.
On top of that I imagine Iceberg doesn't really have a title for what you two are anyways, they refer to you as their partner no matter your gender and they don't mind what you refer to them as. But when it comes to putting a title on the actual relationship-? They don't like a lot of the titles. Friends with benefits certainly isn't right, a situationship just sounds like you two are on the brink of breaking up, boyfriend and girl/boyfriend sounds too immature [and if you're neither that's also definitely off the table.] He probably will eventually just settle for partners lol
The only way I could imagine them going 'public' with your relationship is if they decide you're 'the one', but they still don't tell anybody. They just start holding your hand in public spaces now, you two stop with the fake hatred and when people start asking what the hell is going on they'll just casually refer to you as their partner.
I don't care what anyone says, Iceberg is a thigh enthusiast. Of course he loves all of you, but your thighs.. Oh, he's biting his lip whenever he sees them exposed. Your gender doesn't matter, they'll lay their head on them while you two are relaxing, sometimes even sinking their teeth into them if he's feeling cheeky. They love holding them during intimate moments, kissing them, if you have moles or freckles there, he'll kiss the ones he sees as an attempt to tease you.
Will grab onto your thighs when giving you head by the way, and if they're plush- oh just crush their fucking head between them already. He definitely gets a boner if you wear anything that causes your thighs to spill over, again he turns into a hoe just from your thighs lol
While Iceberg does not care much about body types, I can imagine him being whipped for someone on the heavier side. Muscle or pudge doesn't matter, sit on their face now.
Iceberg as a dom once again is not much into kinky stuff, I will say again that he is a service top. They don't really care much about their pleasure half the time, not when he sees that face of yours flushed with need burning in your eyes.
If you ask for him to be rough, he gladly will. Most I imagine him doing is leaving marks on you, guiding you with his hands, maybe edging you if he's feeling like an asshole that day. He never leaves marks where anyone can see, it's always on your back, your thighs, or your hips. If you usually wear something that covers your collarbone [like say a turtleneck] they may leave a few marks, there too. They kinda enjoy being the only one who knows you have them, like a little secret between you two.
Besides that, I imagine him eventually being into temperature play [not like he really has a choice in that though, they do enjoy how you react to his freezing touches though lol.] They're not into anything that'll actually hurt you, no matter how much you ask him too he's just.. uncomfortable with the idea. No knife kinks, no blood kinks, no choking, no risky sex and especially [if you're AFAB] nothing that could lead to you being pregnant.
When they sub they're up for anything [use him.], same as being a top they're a service bottom too. He'll whine, whimper, beg if that's what you want. When he's sub he prefers to be on the bottom always, likes looking towards you and seeing the desire burning in your eyes. Desire aimed towards them.
You two don't have sex a lot, I don't imagine Iceberg as a super sexual person. You two usually only end up like that after a stressful day or if you're both extremely horny. If you're not up for sex though he'll just go masturbate instead, it's obviously not the same but they're not gonna push you into shit you don't wanna do.
They aren't the best at aftercare but if you desire it, they will genuinely try. They'll clean you up, get you a snack or water if you need it. It takes him a bit to get comfortable cuddling you; they're touch starved and don't wanna scare you away by holding you too tightly or anything. But once they get more comfortable with cuddling, they'll hold you close and talk to you.
Will always make sure you're okay, doesn't matter how long you two have been doing this for. He'll always ask, "I didn't go too rough, did I?" or "You're not like-.. hurt right?" Just reassure them and they'll relax.
Also yeah, Iceberg before you was definitely touch starved. They didn't exactly choose to be celibate for so long, people just tend to stay away given their asshole demeanor and their body being -7 Celsius [44.6 Fahrenheit.] So, when you don't pull away or complain about the cold [in a serious manner] they're so happy. He'll literally melt to if you initiate contact.
[for AFABs] As stated above Iceberg will not do anything that could get you knocked up, doesn't matter if you want it or not. They don't want to risk it; they do NOT want kids. Especially since your relationship is supposed to be private.
Maybe far off into the future once you're both public with your relationship, he might [and I say might very lightly] entertain ONE kid if you really want to have a child. They will never ask nor bring it up unless you speak on it first, but even after that conversation they wouldn't be trying to get you pregnant. They'd just agree to a 'if it happens it happens'
Personally, he wouldn't want kids knowing they'd be raised within the Foundation and would never know what a normal life truly is. They would also worry that they wouldn't be able to hold their kid given how cold their body is.
So yeah, no breeding kinks, no risky pregnancy kinks, none of it. Don't joke about it either, he will actually start spiraling at the idea they could've doomed some poor kid to this hellish life
Whenever you two have sex, they always pull out and cum elsewhere or will wear a condom. If you can take birth control, they will ask you to start taking it.
As always consent is very important! And Iceberg values it! He won't ever do anything you're uncomfortable with, the second they see actual discomfort on your face or your body tensing up- they stop immediately. They of course expect the same in return and will voice his discomfort.
Iceberg is kinda awkward at first with all this, after you two become a thing, he genuinely goes and does research on how to be a good partner. Half-way through he ends up deciding that the advice is stupid and just decides on doing their best.
Sometimes they'll just sit with you and remain mostly quiet, other times they'll say some of the sappiest shit you've ever heard.
"I could stay here with you forever.. nothing matters right now", "you smell..good today", "I missed you today", "Please- just tell me you love me"
Yeah, this is more than just sleeping around. If you get with Iceberg, you're getting all of him. He craves intimacy, touch, love. They're just a hard ass sometimes, they want to portray this as a 'in the moment' type of thing. But Iceberg would be absolutely crushed if anything happened that resulted in this ending.
Your relationship with the guy is a roller-coaster, some days you two are just acting like this is just you two blowing off steam, other days he's holding you tightly whispering how much they love and crave you.
Alright! I hope you all enjoyed this lol, definitely an improvement compared to my [older] one!
Dreamt about wanting to read some article called the "Swim ring Incident" that was supposed to be about Iceberg, woke up and realised it doesn't exist :( what that even could be about
Kondrakis and glass' kinda suck... I couldn't find any good voices for em alright? All the Kondraki ones were too southern and all the glass ones were too British... urgh☹️ just imagine for glass, someone that stammers a bit like Wheatley (he's who I picture when I answer glass asks funfact) but has a slightly deeper voice. AND NOT BRITISH!
