this one was requested in my dms so i'll keep it anonymous but here it is - my first wlw ask! anon i really hope i wrote it the way you wanted 😭 i kinda got carried away while writing so these are like 40% comfort 60% fluffy/general hcs whoops looks like i have more ideas for her than i thought
michiko comfort/fluff hcs with a female s/o🌸
michiko is a quite introverted and shy woman
she prefers to keep her emotions to herself as she doesn't want to burden others with her problems, even if it means breaking down after too much negative emotions bottle up
one day she got matched with you - it caused her great stress to have you watch her hurt the other survivors in order to get by and afterwards she let you go
it doesn't help that your teammates were being rude to her and stunning her all the time, she was so stressed to the point she got rougher and more aggressive while hunting and even accidentally injured them more than she intended to
she deeply cares for you and doesn't want you to see her bad side she has to show in the game
you decided to visit michiko after today's match. you saw the bitter expression on her face from the survivors' side, nervously spinning her fan in her hands. the urge to go check up on her was stronger, and you found yourself gently knocking on the door of her room, waiting for a response.
"come in." her soft voice called from behind the door, and you carefully entered her room.
michiko was sitting and facing the window, not even looking at you as you entered. her hands were clutched together, nervously stabbing her thumb with her nails.
"hey, don't do that. you'll get hurt." you approached her from the back, gently resting your hand on her shoulder. is everything okay?
"yes, it's fine, if i could say so. sorry for today's match." a lone tear rolled down her cheek. "i was... so aggressive today. i let my emotions win over after getting stunned again and again and- i'm sorry you had to see that." just then you noticed scratches on her chest, presumably from the old, dusty pallets on red church. "is william okay? i accidentally hit him too hard today."
"yes, he said it was just a scratch and that he'll be as good as new tommorrow. however, are you really okay? " you rolled down your sleeve and slowly brushed away the tear. "please don't do this to yourself, michiko. it's not always a good thing to keep every problem to yourself."
she sometimes vents to you, even though she hates herself for it - but the feeling of comfort that comes after is truly irreplacable, and she trusts you so much
when she's in a vulnerable situation like that she doesn't let people see her face and hides it in either your skirt or chest (she feels bad bc the paint then stains your clothes so she'll wash them for you afterwards)
her favourite type of comfort activity/self care to do with you is either putting on makeup/skincare or eating :] as much as venting/cuddling makes her feel relieved she often feels like it's a one-sided thing, so she prefers doing an activity where you two both have fun and participate in!
^ it also helps her get her mind off of any stressful situation
for makeup - she's very graceful and quick with the application, so if you're not experienced she'll gladly help you out! but if you want to do her makeup she is more than willing to let you do it
for skin care - she loooves skin care, it's so therapeutic and refreshing
often insists on massaging face masks into your face and she has this cute mini ritual thing?? basically she first draws a heart with her finger on your forehead, then pinches your cheeks and then boops your nose she has no idea why she does it but it's cute
while not in matches she keeps her nails short and wears pastel nail polish with occassional cute nail art
aaand it's another thing she enjoys doing with you, a great opportunity to chat too
always recommending you new brands and types of products to use
for eating - michiko is actually kind of anxious about eating in general bc of some bad experiences a long time ago and eating with her loved ones makes her feel more comfortable
her favourite type of food are various noodle dishes! on good days you two will cook everything from scratch, using veggies from the manor's garden and on some worse days you two will end up eating instant ramen
besides noodles she likes tea parties (AND PICNICS!!!!!) and various sweets! however she's not as skilled in preparing them compared to other dishes so you two will usually end up watching mary making macarons or emily making key lime pie
a lot of other residents are also invited to them so it's a great chance to get to know them better - mary, keigan, ann, bane, joseph (very rarely though since he's busy, he often just stops to chat and grab a macaron) etc.
when you two have a tea party alone though it's a bit more intimate - she feels like she's the most expressive about her problems during them and she encourages you to do the same so you two can help each other out
if she's worried about something she clears her mind by taking a walk in the sunny manor garden with you while appreciating the beautiful plants and flowers, her pink parasol shielding you both from the strong sun
enjoys dancing with you :) no matter if it's something traditional or a bit more modern (she would really like 50s-60s pop music imo! especially lesley gore)
knows a bunch of fan tricks! likes to decorate her fans by painting on them too
also a big enthusiast of secret kisses (aka her hiding your faces with her parasol or her fan while you two kiss nfndnfjr)
in conclusion she prefers taking her mind off troubling things by doing something that makes her happy with people she loves! she'd also accompany you if you were troubled or sad, no matter the way you cope with your problems
doing anything with her is incredibly fun since she loves to talk and has so much things to say, she just needs enough time and the right person to fully open up :)
