Zoeystery headcanons ✧ KPOP Demon Hunters ✧ Zoey x Mystery
✧ ultimate yapper girl x listener boy
✧ He thought she was cute the moment he saw her bouncing her shoulders to soda pop while Rumi and Mira glared at her
✧ he’s not shy, just quiet. he just isn’t used to being human, and it tires him out a lot more than the others.
✧ He slowly feels like he’s actually relearning his humanity with Zoey, not just going through the motions of a human life like he had felt doing the idol thing
✧ Zoey gets anxious that people aren’t listening to her if they get too quiet. She’s used to being mid-ramble, asking a question, and not getting a response because the person tuned out and she didn’t realize
✧ after the first time she asks Mystery if he’s listening, he starts letting out noises of acknowledgement to reassure her while she’s talking so she doesn’t have to lose her train of thought
✧ he wants her to know that he’s listening very intently, and will sometimes even just say it out loud when he doesn’t have a better comment to make
✧ Zoey thinks it’s adorable, and she slowly feels less and less uncomfortable rambling for hours about television or animals or the songs she wanted to write
✧ She eventually just naturally stops apologizing for rambling or being too over the top, to him and to other people
✧ He starts getting better at conversations, but only with her. He asks social questions he used to think were stupid or boring or useless, because she’s the only one whose answers he actually wants to hear
✧ Mystery remembers nothing from his actual life on earth before the demon realm, and that doesn’t change even as he gets more comfortable as a ‘human’
✧ He couldn’t care less. He outright tells Zoey that it “leaves more room in my brain for the memories we make”
✧ she has to excuse herself from the room for a moment and yell into a pillow about how cute he is
✧ He can hear her doing it. when she comes back with a notebook he’s smiling wider than she thought he was even capable of
✧ she sits him down and they make a bucket list of everything she can think of that she considers “necessary to the human experience”, no matter how small
✧ she feels bad about being *excited* over his amnesia, but she can’t help but chatter about how she was going to be ‘introducing him to all this new stuff!’
✧ items on this list include but are not limited to; seeing the ocean in person, finding a really cool rock that you wanna keep forever, going to the bathhouse, and spending an entire day on the couch
✧ Mystery doesn’t really see what’s interesting about any of it, but he agrees because he wants Zoey to go with him
✧ He likes it, mostly because *she* likes it. He could be literally stranded in the arctic, if Zoey was finding a way to have fun he would be able to do it too. His number one idea of ‘fun’ is just… being around her.
✧ Mystery constantly wants to have Zoey on his lap/between his legs/sitting in literally any position where he can wrap his entire body around her from behind and rest his chin on her shoulder.
✧ he falls asleep like this fairly often. Zoey calls him her weighted blanket
✧ in general they both sleep a lot, they take afternoon naps together almost every day
✧ After enough time he’s got basically everything human down besides the ‘not barking at people who get too close to Zoey for his comfort’
✧ that one is an active choice. He has absolutely no intention of stopping that one
✧ bad saja boy became bad Mystery fairly quickly
✧ He pouts every time she says it. At first she felt bad about it, but eventually she started to find it cute
✧ he’ll sit with his head in her lap while she writes lyrics. She’s always patting his head and playing with his hair while mumbling about how soft it is.
✧ one day he realizes the whole time she’s been avoiding his bangs, and he grabs her hand and moves them away himself so she can see his face when she isn’t actively trying to kill him
✧ “You already know what I look like. I don’t care. If it’s just you.”
✧ She’s so giddy she grabs him and kisses him for the first time, and they’re both a little shocked by it
✧ it was the first time she saw him blush and she immediately became determined to make him do it as much as possible.
✧ She already has a notebook of things he likes and dislikes so she can remember (she has ones for Rumi and Mira too obvi)
✧ she adds a section to Mystery’s for things that make him blush
✧ she’s studying this guy like a bug and he secretly likes it
✧ He keeps the bangs cause most of the time he’s just so unable to control his own facial expressions that he would probably get into a fight in public
✧ but he starts pinning them back when he’s with Zoey
i wanna add this here to expand on why i don’t believe mystery’s amnesia will ever go away because i don’t fundamentally believe it is amnesia!
