Simon was a private man, always keeping to himself and not speaking about his personal life outside of the military. Whenever the team asked if he had anyone back at home he’d simply ignore their question, changing the topic and focusing back on the mission. Imagine their surprise when his team finds out that Simon is not only married but with children too.
His husband was a single father with twins when they first met, having a daughter and a son to raise on his own wasn’t easy. The two met when the twins randomly appeared in front of Simons porch, playing with the stray cat that He’s been feeding for some time and perhaps had gotten attached to the feline. The twins were both six years old when they first saw Simon, instead of running away in fright or crying due to his large structure it was the young girl who had stood up and pointed at him while shouting. “Wow! You’re so tall!!” Simon was surprised by the child’s reaction, expecting the total opposite. It was the boy who coward away and hid behind his sister as he whimpered in fear by simons appearance but his sister acted tough and kept him safe.
It wasn’t long until Simon met Y/n. The single father would come around everyday to collect his children who continued to sneak out of the house without notice in order to play outside. Due to him being a single father he can’t help but worry for the two only to continue finding them at Simons place. Simon didn’t mind the twins coming around everyday, he mainly worked outside minding his own business but also keeping a close eye on the twins and making sure that they didn’t cause trouble or get hurt. As the two adults continued to interact their conversations grew deeper and meaningful to the point where they started dating until they finally got married.
Four years married. Simon never thought he’d feel warm in his heart again after everything he’s been through. He’d taken care of his family and loved the twins, even though they weren’t his by blood he still cared for them deeply. When simon finally got a break and was able to return back home he didn’t think that he’d see his husband and kids waiting for him close to the base. His husband had close connections to Laswell and allowed the family to wait outside the base.
The team was shocked when they saw two teenagers run up to Simon and tackle him, clinging onto his legs and arms as they cried in joy, happy to be reunited again. Everyone stares with wide eyes as Simon holds both twins up, chuckling softly at the two before his husband approached him. “Welcome home.” Y/n whispers, also pulling him into a hug and kissing the side of his balacava while Simon gives a faint smile underneath. “It’s good to be back.”
“Hey, hey! Stop hogging him!” His daughter, Briar shouts, her arms around his torso and her legs wrapped around his waist. “You’re hogging!” His son, Ren shouts back. He too, is wrapped around his arm and legs, the two holding on tight. Simon huffs a laugh, glancing at the two teens who argued with each other.
“You all forget that he married me, right?” Y/n raises a brow but the twins ignore them and continue to fight. “They never change.” He sighs out deeply. “I expected them to change after being gone for so long.” Simon is able to shake the twins off, finally free from their grip as hovering close to Y/n’s side.
It doesn’t take long for Y/n to approach his team and introduce himself to them, giving them a warm smile and a thank you from protecting his husbands back during his hard and dangerous missions. He finally meets Soap in person after hearing about him for days from Simons short calls or whenever he spent a few days back home. He already knew that Simon wouldn’t be staying for long before he’s sent out on another mission again.
After Y/n speaks with the team and gets to know them, it’s the twins who ask the most questions, especially his daughter.
“Why is your hair like that? How many people did you kill? What does your code name mean? How did you get it?”
It took Ren to drag his sister away from the men, apologizing quietly with a hint of embarrassment as he drags her away from the group and to the kitchen in order to help their father with cooking and keeping her away from talking their ears off.
“You have some kids.” Said Alejandro with a cheeky grin on his face as Simon friend under his mask. “There twins and are opposite from each other, Ren rarely does conversation but Briar can talk your ear off all day.” He didn’t know why he was telling them this but it felt nice too, letting them know a little about his family.
Ren enters the living room and asks everyone. “Does anyone have allergies? We want to make sure so that no one dies on us.” He said softly, causing Simon to release a chuckle while the others let the teen know that they don’t have any allergies before rushing back into the kitchen to continue helping.
His team and family are together and held many conversations, his husband asking about Simon and the things he did during his work while the twins sat in front of soap, asking him many questions, stroking his ego a bit whenever the twins said something that brought him pride.
The first day went by fast, everyone ate, met with each other and then left to see their own families. Simon finally felt at peace to be back home, interacting with the twins and catching up with their lives. He’d found out that Ren had made it into the fencing team at school, becoming the top of the team while Briar still continued to cause chaos, showing him a record of her detention time at school for the amount of pranks she’s caused. Y/n wasn’t too happy about the record but at long as his daughter was passing her classes that’s all that mattered to him. Which was true, even though briar caused trouble she still had good grades in all of her classes.
“ I have report due on Monday. I have to write about someone important and can’t think of anyone. It’s either between you or dad.” Briar grumbled, tapping her pencil on her notebook as she thinks while Ren plays chess with Y/n. “What about Soap? He was interesting.” Said Ren.
“Fuckin hell, you ain’t writing a report about Johnny.” Said Simon with a frown on his face while Briar laughs. “But he’s interesting and his code name ‘soap’.” She air quotes. “Has an interesting story too.”
“Do whatever you want, kid.” Y/n mumbled, focusing on the game as he hums to himself. “As long as you get the report done.” He added, making his next move and letting Ren focus back on his own side of the game. “Besides, you have all week to get the report done. Don’t stress yourself out.” Said Y/n smiling at Briar and reassuring his daughter.
“Well—“ she slams her notebook shut and tossed it aside. “I’ll deal with it later!” She jumps up from her seated spot with a smile on her face, turning to Simon. “Tell us about your work! Did you get someone important?”
“That’s classified.”
Briar pouts. “That’s stupid.”
The four of them enjoyed their time together. Simon could only enjoy their time together until it was cut short again. After being back home for a month he was being sent out again on another mission which caused him to sigh deeply. As much as he hates leaving his family behind he still had a duty to complete.
He stood in his and Y/n’s bedroom, packing up his things while Y/n sat on their bed watching him pack with sad eyes. “It’s sucks how you have to leave again.” He murmured while Simon sighs, setting his shirt inside his bag and rounding the bed to stand in front of his husband. “M’sorry my love.” He leans down to place a kiss on his forehead and then his lips, holding his husband close as the two hold each other. “Good luck on telling the twins.”
Simon groans, knowing the hell the two teens will bring once he tells them that he is leaving again. The two have grown attached to Simon as children, following him around like lost ducklings and always sticking to his side. Y/n was happy to know that his kids loved Simon and quickly accepted him as a parent when they started dating, when they announced their marriage the twins went crazy, throwing themselves on Simon as they cheered happily and were excited to have another dad in their family.
“I’ll make sure they don’t go to crazy.” Said Y/n but also smirked. “But, I can’t promise that it’ll go well.” Simon rolls his eyes, giving him another kiss and getting back to packing. “Soap will pick me up and will head out together.” He zips up his bag after and looks down at his wedding band, taking a chain out of his pocket as he slips off the ring, placing it on the chain and putting the necklace around his neck for safe keeping.
Y/n stands from the bed, walking over and sighing to himself before patting his chest. “Anyways—good luck with the kids!” His sudden mood changing to a mischievous one before leaving their room, heading downstairs to where the twins sat in the kitchen eating breakfast.
Simon had made his way downstairs with bag in hand, setting it by the door. The loud thump gets Rens attention, looking over to eye the bag and then look up to Simon before going back to the bag. His tired eyes suddenly widen in realization. “You’re leaving again?”
Briar chokes on her breakfast, coughing as she shot up from her seat. “Again?!”
“Yes, again.” Simon confirms to the twins as they stumble out of their seats and race to his side. “But you just got here!” Ren exclaimed, upset that Simon had to leave again. Simon gives Ren a sad smile, tussling his hair. “I know, but I have a duty and have to go.” He always had a warm spot for Ren, even though he was a quiet kid he also showed emotion towards current things.
The knock on their front door gets their attention, Simon reached over to unlock the door and pulling it open to see Soap on the other end, giving the Riley family and wave. “It’s time.” He tells Simon who nods in understanding.
“Wait, wait, come here.” Y/n approached his husband and kissed him again. “Be safe and don’t die.” His voice is stern and serious, he couldn’t lose someone important.
“I’ll be back.” Simon picks up his bag, but before he can follow soap out the twins cling onto him.
“I love you father!” Briar exclaimed, her legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck. “If you die imma write my report on Soap—no, if you die I’ll write my report about you.”
“I know, I have to go—“
“No wait, dad I changed my mind don’t go!” Ren climbs onto his arm, his legs wrapped around simons left leg as he holds himself up on his arm. Simon is strong enough to balance both twins as he tries to move. “Ren—!”
“Ghost, we have to go.” Said Soap, watching the chaos unveil.
“Don’t go! Who’s gonna walk me down the aisle on my wedding?!” Shouted Briar.
“I have so many unanswered questions what is sex—!” Ren says next as the two continued to go off.
“That’s enough!” Y/n tries to remove the kids from Simon but fails.
“Shake them off, ghost!”
“I’m trying!!”
“I don’t know what sex is!”
“I love you dad!”
Simon shakes his leg, but Briar doesn’t nor does Ren when he tries to remove his arm from his grip. The twins are strong as they hold onto him, soap on the other hand tries to pry the kids off but fails miserably while Y/n wasn’t much help.
The twins continue on until Simon finally snaps. “Enough!” He shouts, stopping the twins rambling as they froze in spot, soap stares with wide eyes until y/n steps forward and whines. “Please be safe Simon, don’t leave me with these freakin kids.”
The twins finally let him go and cling onto Y/n. Briar glaring at Simon while Ren turns to soap. “You better take care of my dad or else I’ll hunt you down the same way my father hunts down his prey.” He hissed out, pointing a finger at soap with intimidation.
Soap gives a stiff nod. “Will do.” He chuckles nervously before saying his farewell and rushing back to the car. Simon shakes his head, turning to Y/n and the twins. “Don’t cause trouble.”
“No promises!” Shouted Briar, who huffed and marched back to her breakfast. Y/n chuckled and gives Simon one last wave as he watched him take his things and enter the car with soap as the two drive away from the Riley residence.
“Uh—“ Soap clears his throat. “Ren was kidding right?”
Demon Slayer • Father Figure Tengen x Muzan's Son Reader • Reader was a weak half demon that refused to help his father find the spider Lily. A traveler mistook the boy as human when he found Reader severally injured on the side of the road, he was took to the butterfly estate since it was close by in hopes for the boy to be healed. When the Hashiras found out he was a demon, he was prisoned. That is when Tengen and him got close, Reader seeing Tengen as a father that he always wanted. (take your time! Love you, friendo!)
Oh this is good
And ily too friendarino
I worked very hard on this ---
(Name) was only five in human years when his dad nearly killed him and abandoned him on the side of a road.
Scared and cold the little half demon clung helplessly to his blankie, the only thing he had of his mother.
His body was shutting down and he felt so alone.
Half demons healed at a much much slower rate, (name) accepting death.
"Oh poor thing, let's get you to a doctor."
Waking up in a warm bed felt weird, the small child clinging to the blankets helplessly as people checked on him "he's so cold..." One of them commented as they tried to warm the boy up.
See, the tricky thing about half demons is that they have a weird combination of both human and demon.
They can die of old age but they're aging process is incredibly slow.
They have blood magic but it's nowhere near as strong.
And unlike demons they can eat human food and go into sunlight, they're just very sensitive to the latter.
(Name) could honestly live a normal life if he chose too.
But his dad had other plans.
He wanted to raise (name) to be the perfect weapon despite his flaw of being a human.
He wanted (name) to find the spider lily.
(Name) didn't want to help his dad find some flower, the small child not understanding the gravity of why it was so important.
Muzan didn't like it.
One bit.
So Muzan did what he felt logical.
Kill and abandon the child and start again.
Though he didn't successfully kill (name) as the small boy was still alive.
Cracking his eyes open he saw a traditional room, gas lamp beside him as a woman with pretty purple eyes and a butterfly clip dabbed warm water on him to try and regulate his body temperature.
"Oh! You're awake, how are you feeling?" The lady asked and (name) was hesitant to answer as he looked down "I'm good, thank you miss..." His voice meek and soft as he refused to make eye contact with her.
He would face dire consequences if he did so.
"Where are your parents little one?"
"Mamas gone... Papa hates me"
"Why do you think that?"
"Wouldn't find a stupid lily so papa got rid of me..."
"....what kind of lily" the air in the room shifted as everyone stared at the child...his eyes....they looked like...his.
"Buu spider lily..."
"Take him to the dungeons" was all he heard before he was taken down to a cold cell...reminded him of where father would put him if he didn't behave.
Curled up he cried, realizing he didn't have his blankie made him even more upset.
Tengen walked down to the dungeons, requested by the others to figure out what the kid was up to and kind of interrogate him.
When tengen got to the demons cell he wasn't expecting practically a baby, sobbing away "thought you would have been older..." Tengen said catching the boys attention and Tengen watched him physically flinch and curl up more "I'm sorry..." The boy mumbled and repeated the phrase, genuinely scared of the man.
"Hey... I'm not gonna hurt you, I just have a few questions..."
(Name) stared at him with teary eyes but didn't say anything else.
"Pretty scary down here... Are you hungry?"
(Name) shook his head but his stomach said otherwise, a loud growl rang out and (name) cried a bit in worry.
"Hey... It's alright, we all get hungry" Tengen said softly and (name) fiddled with his little fingers "is there anything I can do to make feel better?"
(Name) was quiet for a moment before speaking "my blankie..." His little voice melted Tengens heart and the white haired man nodded "alright... I will be right back alright?"
"Promise?"
"I promise"
When tengen came upstairs be was livid.
They wanted him to interrogate a toddler!
He didn't care if that was Muzans child, all he saw was a scared abandoned toddler who needed someone to save him.
But first that kid needed food.
And his blankie.
He made a simple dish for the toddler, nothing crazy and grabbed his blanket and a small cup of tea to wash it down.
(Name) was surprised when the man came back with so much for him.
"Here you go, it's not a the fanciest but I like it" he said wrapping the boys blanket around his tiny shoulders "and this is some tea, it's cool enough to drink now"
"Have you ever had this?" Tengen asked the small child who shook his head "what have you had?"
"Nefer had food... Father made me eat pink squishy stuff and yucky red stuff... It always made me feel weird"
It didn't take a genius to realize what he talking about.
Flesh and blood.
The thing about half demons is they can eat flesh of humans and gain power like a demon but it doesn't taste good.
It tasted to (name) how raw flesh would to a human.
Since no one else ate human food around him, he didn't know much about it.
"Well I promise you this is really yummy"
Tengen held a chopstick to (name)s lips and the tot opened wide and looked pleasantly surprised at how yummy it tasted.
The two spent the next half hour like this, Tengen feeding the small boy who somehow ended up in his crossed lap and Tengen learned that this boy wasn't a threat at all.
He was just a little boy who desperately needed love.
And Tengen wanted to give him all of it.
"Let's go upstairs yeah?"
The others were horrified as he carried the little boy in his arms and spoke oh so softly to him.
"He's a demon!"
"He's a toddler who just had green tea for the first time and his mom's human, he's half"
"He still shares blood with that monster!"
"A monster he's terrified of, he's five...he doesn't understand what his dad is doing all he knows is he hurt him and never loved him"
The other hashira looked sceptical as Tengen continued "I will take full responsibility for him...just give him a chance before turning him away"
The others begrudgingly agreed and allowed him to keep the spawn.
The following days the others watched Tengen interact with the child, setting him up in a room and getting him a few toys, the little boy crying.
He had never been given a gift.
(Name) was practically his shadow, following him everywhere and holding onto his pant leg.
A week became a month and a month became six.
Tengens wives took the small boy in with open arms, doting and loving.
"Goodnight (name)..." Tengen said softly to the boy he had grown to love.
"Goodnight papa..."
Tengen wanted to cry right then and there, he had seen the boy as his own but never said anything as he didn't want to push the boy but now...
Warning: male reader, omegaverse, Omega Mikey, alpha reader, fluff
(name) didn't know what to do.
One moment he was walking home from work and the next he had a tiny Omega clinging to him like a koala.
"Hello, are you alright?" He asked the platinum blond who just snuggled deeper into his chest like he was the softest teddy bear in the world "Alpha..." "the omega mumbled and (name) just stood awkwardly, unsure what to do before the scent hit him.
This was his mate.
"Whats your name?" (Name) asked softly and gently pet the blond omegas hair, getting a better look at the obviously exhausted Omega "Mikey!" A voice yelled out and a group of well dressed men in suits came briskly walking towards them "the fuck you think you're doing with our boss?!" One of them hissed out as (name) looked confused "I don't know what you're talking about" (name) said honestly and explained the events that just transpired "mine..." Mikey hissed out as he clung tighter to his destined mate possessively and (name) just sighed with a half smile "it's pleasure to meet you too"
(Name) couldn't really go anywhere due to the surprisingly strong Omega clinging to him, joining the men to bring Mikey back to their headquarters as they questioned him.
"So where you from?"
"Oh I'm from (country/city)! I'm a bit new to Tokyo"
"What are you here for?"
"Oh I'm studying abroad, I'm learning to become a/an (career/profession)!" (Name)s words were so genuine and kind, clearly unaware of who he was dealing with as Mikey sat in his lap "are you willing to make sacrifices for our boss" Sanzu said seriously as he watched with slight envy at the Alpha who captured Mikey's attention so easily, the blond willingly giving into his instincts and demanding the others gaze.
"Only stare at me" Mikey commanded and (name) just smiled at him like an overgrown puppy "you're mine so only look at me" his voice was serious as he glared at the Alpha and if (name) knew what he was wand what he did he would have been scared but Mikey honestly just looked like an angry kitten to him "of course" (name) said oh so gently and that seemed to satisfy Mikey.
"So you are aware of your new responsibilities yes?" Koko asked as (name) nodded "can we just... Can we take it slow, I'm a little new to dating" (name) said softly and Mikey seemed pleased at his Alphas lack of partners, less people to kill if they tried to woo (name) once more.
"Just don't talk to any other fucking omegas"
"Mikey, I'm gonna eventually talk to some but I promise I will only have eyes for you" (name) gave into this whole thing, he wouldn't outwardly say it but he was very excited that he met his destined mate who was equally enthusiastic about this too even if a little demanding.
Mikey glared at him but (name) stood his ground, feeling no fear "Omega, you are the only one I want don't worry about those other omegas yeah?"
Mikey eventually relented, surprising everything in the room safe for (name) who still didn't really know Mikey's.... temper.
The three Bonten men across from them had one thought and that was: how did he manage to make Mikey comply so easily?
They would be dead instantly if they tried that!
Guess that's the power of a destined mate.
"So can I get to know you more? Maybe go on a date?" (Name) asked gently and Mikey stared at him "you really don't know who I am?"
"You a celebrity or something?" (Name) tilted his head and Mikey just stared back before for the first time in years letting out a laugh.
A real genuine laugh.
And (name) wanted to hear it again, he wanted to see that smile.
"I'm keeping you..." Mikey mumbled and (name) smiled softly "I like being around you too"
