Just needed to elaborate on my post about Turks x coworker reader. I tried to consider canon for this but now itās just Reno yap tbhā¦NSFW topic but nothing graphic.
(ā¦) Reno is still hesitant about being in a committed relationship. He feels comfortable without the pressure of a label, scared of what might happen if it gets ātoo real.ā
The Turks are a very tight-knit group and care a lot about each other. I believe Reno didnāt have a good life pre-shinra and would consider his colleagues a found family.
In the main story, the Turks are at a point where they would be executed if they refused any orders.
Knowing this, would he really be ready to enter a serious and committed relationship?
Anything could go wrong at any time. Refusing an order of great importance because of your own morals and values could mean youāre done for. Not to mention the danger of some of the missions youāre sent to.
Reno would hate to go through the pain of losing a romantic partner. Sure, Rude is just as important to him as you are, but youāre the person he has strong feelings for, and they make him feel vulnerable. And if he did start a relationship with you there would be the risk of you sacrificing yourself for his sake or ignoring an order because he needs to be saved.
Reno is a person who feels a lot, despite being really cocky and burying most of it deep inside his heart or outright ignoring it, because what else is there to do if you have a job like his? Heās strong enough not to let guilt eat him alive, for example after the plate drop, even if that did affect him. So can he really be blamed for indulging in what his heart tells him he wants? And he longs for a connection with you.
In my headcanons I mentioned that the closest you could be with him is a friends with benefits type of relationship. He gets to be close to you and spend time with you in a private setting. Both of you are aware that your feelings for each other are mutual and everything could be going great until you bring it up to him. Ask him what you really mean to him. And then he gets annoyed and funās over.
Throughout all of this, Rude would be the only person heād confide in, one of the only people who just gets him. And Rude would essentially tell him that just sleeping with someone doesnāt resolve the need for a close emotional bond that Reno has. And now to quote one of my headcanons once again, your relationship would end up like this:
Eventually you basically act like a couple outside of work, but Reno is still hesitant about being in a committed relationship. He feels comfortable without the pressure of a label, scared of what might happen if it gets ātoo real.ā
After a long time of knowing he can let himself be vulnerable around you, he would drop his walls and youāll get to know what heās like aside from his cocky persona. How and why he joined the Turks. Life before Shinra. And if youāve got a fucked up story yourself he listens and sympathizes with you.
And just to bring up the only two canonical facts about his family and his view on familial relationships because weāre already on the topic of him opening up, in On the way to a smile we find out that:
- his father is dead
- heād love to meet a sibling he had no clue even existed
These were most likely intended to be super basic statements but I canāt help reading way too much into them as someone who would love to have more information on the Turkās backstories. I added these in case anyone feels the same.
But the book takes place after the events of the main game and thankfully Advent Children exists because I believe your relationship would definitely change after all thatās happened.
Midgar was devastated, Shinra is basically gone and Rufus and the Turks want to build it back up again. But now the pressure on the turks is gone. Theyāre not kept on a tight leash anymore and Rufus didnāt force them to stay.
And after spending his late teens and adulthood stuck in the same place mentally, this might be a nice change for all of you, all the horrible events aside, obviously. Everyone is in shock after the world almost came to an end, but as time passes and the turmoil slowly calms down, Reno starts to think again.
And he comes to the conclusion that heās exhausted of being colleagues, friends or whatever you are at that point. And you both know exactly what you what.
And he wants the real thing.
Yay now youāre officially dating! Took him long enough. Live laugh love Reno.
Ugh ok I didnāt want Renoās part to be way longer than the ones of the other turks in my last post so have this! I needed to get my thoughts out, theyāve been stuck in my head for such a long time
Currently thinking about Reader being Alucardās muse and reigniting his interest in art after all thatās happened. His partnerās beauty is so captivating to him that he remembered he used to enjoy drawing.
When he was young, Dracula hired artists to draw portraits of his little family, but Adrian hated standing still for such a long time. Turns out he has no problem making you pose until he portrayed every detail as accurately as possible.
āStand still for me, my dear.ā
Once heās finished heās too shy to show you at first, his perfectionism when it comes to you showing again. Some lines may be clumsily drawn and the paint may be smudged in some places, but the features of your face that he loves most look flawless.
All of this just to show you that thereās nothing to be insecure of. He admires you for you, no matter the beauty standards that might convince you otherwise.
Basically just how Iād imagine them having feelings for/being in a relationship with another turk. Nsfw topic for Reno but also not really lmao.
Reno is the type of person to say that love and sappy feelings arenāt his thing and just get tortured by the feelings he has for you. Especially if youāre his colleague and he sees you frequently.
Rude is the only one that knows him well enough to catch on to those feelings. Heās seen him flirting with others at headquarters already, but only you can catch him off guard whenever you tease him back.
And when he asked Reno he laughed it off at first. But after a couple of drinks he started whining about how annoying having feelings for someone is and how heās not a relationship type of guy anyway.
The closest relationship he would be willing to get into is probably some kind of friends with benefits situation. He invites you over to his place after work sometimes but it does get a little suspicious when he starts telling you to just come over anyway when youāre not in the mood.
Or when he starts holding you afterwards and whines about how you should stay. Doesnāt matter if thereās a mission tomorrow. You can just go to work together!
Or when he accidentally longingly calls you baby while half asleep. Oops.
Oh and when he tells Rude that heās been sleeping with you? He thinks itās the worst thing Reno couldāve done and heās not looking forward to how heāll act once he realizes that heās only getting more attached to you.
Eventually you basically act like a couple outside of work, but Reno is still hesitant about being in a committed relationship. He feels comfortable without the pressure of a label, scared of what might happen if it gets ātoo real.ā
And when youāre on a mission together, professionalism takes over again (except for when Reno decides itās time to tease you because your reactions are obviously so fucking funny). A real consummate professional or whatever he calls himself.
Sometimes Tseng does have to remind him not to get carried away when seeing Reno smirk after being assigned on a mission with youā¦
Elaborated on this here!
Rude is secretly a romantic and very obviously a gentleman.
Or at least he tries to be. He is very polite and respectful but he can be so incredibly awkward at times. You might think heās just being his usual quiet self or that heās not interested in you in the slightest, but heās just flustered.
You could be telling him about something and heāll just respond with a quiet grunt, completely forgetting that he still needs to answer your question. Itās not that he wasnāt listening, heās just a little nervous. Especially when youāre sitting next to each other in the helicopter, just the two of youā¦
But he remembers what you tell him, especially if youāre talking about something youāre passionate about. Who knows when that knowledge might come in handy to make you happy?
Reno gets so much second hand embarrassment and tells you to just make out already or something. Itās seriously painful to watch Rude being so awkward.
Whenever youāre on a mission together a part of his focus is always on you. He admires your strength and knows you can handle it yourself, but he is very protective.
His eyes are on you a lot more than you might think, his shades donāt just look cool but are also pretty useful. If you werenāt wearing the same uniform as him, people would probably assume heās your bodyguard with the way heās always watching over you.
Eventually he gathers the courage to ask you out (after a lot of teasing and complaining from Reno). But heās so relieved when you agree that he just leaves before telling you the time and place.
Tseng and you met as rookies, both of you new at Shinra. As two young people with a dangerous occupation you grew closer, and Veld assigning you to go on missions together made you naturally gravitate towards each other.
But as he rose in the ranks you noticed how he became a lot more distant and closed off. A lot more professional. The day he became second in command there was already a tiny shift in your relationship.
He didnāt mind the power imbalance at work but bossing you around eventually came unnatural to him. Youāre his equal and you always have been. He still saw you outside of work, but his mind seemed to be elsewhere and he became more distant.
And once he became the leader, he officially ended things. He is responsible for all of your lives now and there is no way he can still make enough time for you now and letting his emotions interfere with his work is dangerous, he needs to remain coolheaded at all times. This was the best decision for both of your sakes.
But he obviously canāt just make his feelings disappear, no matter how big of an emotional wall he builds up between you. And if you pay enough attention to how he treats you compared to the others, there might still be a little bit of unconscious favoritism.
He is still very conscious of your health and well-being. If you get injured badly he is the first person youāll see at the infirmary. As soon as he notices you waking up, he removes his glove to turn your face towards him, caressing your cheek before you pass out again. The second time you wake up heās no longer there and he wonāt ever mention this again.
Sometimes he wishes your relationship wouldnāt have turned out this way. He would love to tell you how lonely he feels sometimes, sitting alone in his dimly lit office and writing reports into the late evening hours after everyone has already left. You used to always be there, the headquarters is like a second home to the turks after all.
Despite everything, you still have a special place in his heart. You were there when he grew, not just as a person but within the ranks of the Turks. A connection like yours is not easily forgotten and heāll always be grateful to have had you at his side from the beginning.
Elena always tries her hardest to impress you, especially in battle. She asks you to do those synchronized moves she did with Tseng every single time.
Sheās always around you at HQ. A break between meetings? Immediately at your side the moment you walk out the door. Training?? Those sync moves still need to be perfected!
Gets so happy wherever you compliment her skills. Being one of the newer Turks, reassurance coming from someone she admires means so much to her even if she already knows sheās good at her job.
Probably wouldnāt tell you if she got hurt. Instead of complaining she toughs it out to impress you but itās so obvious that thereās something wrong and her pain tolerance is not actually as high as she makes it out to be.
Please go check on her when sheās off wallowing in self pity somewhere. Sheād be terrified to disappoint you or even worse, make you mad at her because of a simple mistake.
Reno and Rude thought you might just make her a like less cocky and more pleasant to work with if youāre all on the same mission. But theyāre wrong. She needs to show you just how great she is after all!
I hope Elena isnāt too ooc, only saw rebirthās cutscenes and sheās a little different now than in the original iirc? Idk maybe not lmao. All of this just because we saw Renoās back in the new trailer, sigh. Also, does anyone remember Rude and Chelsea??
Mm yes.. Adrian with his human S/Oās tiny canines.. how cute they are.. but consider the followingā¦
Adrian with a vampire/dhampir S/O who has smaller fangs than your average vampire despite being the same age as him. Yes⦠Him gushing over how small their fangs are. Lots of comments, very strangely endearing comments.. For example: āYou look like a happy dog..ā āCan you even bite down hard enough to puncture the flesh?ā Little things like that.
The concept came to my head after reading your little canine dabble about Adrian. This isnāt really a request but more of a thought that I just really needed to share. What do you think?
Ahh I love it thank you for sharing!!
I think that would be even cuter to him than a humanās canines ngl. And I can imagine short fangs being an insecurity a vampire/dhampir would usually get teased for so it would be really sweet to see him genuinely liking them TT ughh and him asking them to smile for him :(
He definitely deserves to get playfully bitten after some of the comments he makes tho lmao. Just to show him they shouldnāt be underestimated. And then heād just chuckle bc thatās cute too TT
Part 1 here! I was inspired by your idea @haze-ez so hereās something short about Aluās feelings. Oh and heās sad again oopsā¦
CW: nothing graphic, just short mentions of corpses, blood and death
Adrian awoke in a room he didnāt recognize at first, mind fuzzy and head still hurting from all the crying. Although heād rather be unconscious again, the searing pain of his burns kept him from falling back asleep. Then slowly, his senses started picking up on the faint scent lingering on the pillow. He was in your bedroom.
He mustāve been completely out of it when you were leading him there, and with the events of the last couple of hours still being processed in his mind, he let himself be taken care of blindly. If heās in your care, he knows heās safe. And when the memories of Sumi and Taka came flooding back into his mind, he remembered the bodies that needed to be disposed of.
But there were none. The bed was stripped of its bedding, and compared to the jumbled thoughts in his head, the room looked as if nothing had happened. Even his sword was in pristine condition and propped up against the wall next to the door. As he groggily turned and reached for it, he noticed something white in his peripheral vision.
With his attention diverted now, the tips of his fingers only managed to lightly graze the hilt of his sword, making it fall to the ground with a clatter. Adrian jumped back in surprise, only to find you standing there with a bedsheet in your arms.
It turns out that carrying two stiff corpses down the stairwells of a huge castle and scrubbing blood out of white bedsheets is more time-consuming than you thought, and by the time you were finished, the sun had already risen. Adrian was standing in his room when you brought back a spare set of bedding you found in the laundry room, his old sheets still drying.
Your heart ached at the sight of the man before you. Why did all of this have to happen to him of all people? Despite him seeking your comfort that night, youāre unsure about how close the two of you actually are. Sure, there may have been a few moments in which you held each otherās gazes for longer than friends would, but he barely talked to you ever since the vampire hunters came.
And now, a week later, not a single word about the incident has been spoken yet, conversations between you two have been scarce now in general. Alucard already told you what happened, and in fear of making him feel worse than he already is, you decided not to bring the topic up again.
You're sitting on the wide windowsill in your room, leaning your head against the cool glass and watching the sunset. Despite not being able to see the moon at night, the view from here still has something to offer. Adrian is resting on your bed again, back turned to you and face half-buried in your pillow. Most of his days now are spent recovering from the shock in the comfort of your presence, itās safer being around each other. Part of you wonders if he's formed an emotional connection to your scent on the bedsheets, but it's probably just wishful thinking. As long as it helps him, you don't mind giving up half of your bed.
"You said my name."
His soft whisper from across the room reaches you. Your heart flutters at the thought of him starting a conversation and breaking the silence, but he was just mistaken. You hadn't said a word all evening. Reassuring him it was just his imagination, you tell him to go back to resting.
"No, that night, you said my name. You called me Adrian."
So he does want to talk. And he seems to be opening up a little. You quietly make your way over to the bed, you can't waste this opportunity.
"I'm sorry. I know we're not very close but it just slipped out in the moment. You were worrying me."
You sit down next to him as he turns to read the expression on your face with his eyebrows knitted in confusion.
āI wouldnāt have told you my name if we werenāt close.ā
You wonder if you even had the right to feel jealous. He is the one who has been hurt once again, but he has shown you so much generosity and even offered you a new home. The least you can do is being honest about your feelings for him. He doesnāt deserve to be lied to.
āIf I can be entirely honest with youā¦I saw you having so much fun spending time with Sumi and Taka. And I know that they didnāt have good intentions in the end, but I sometimes felt like you tossed me aside. Like I was not important to you the moment someone else came along.ā
Adrianās eyes widen in surprise and after a moment, a heavy sigh leaves his lips and an expression of guilt appears on his face.
āNo Iā¦I apologize, that was not my intention. Will you let me explain, please?ā
You nod and turn to your side to look at him. The last rays of sunshine of the day creep in through the window and color his side profile with a slight orange hue. He canāt seem to muster up the courage to look at you directly and is staring at the ceiling instead.
Never would he have expected the death of his mother to bring so much additional pain and suffering with it. There was never any time for grieving, never a moment of peace. He knew he had to stop his father, and he did. And while his new friends accompanied him in the beginning, they eventually left too. All thatās left is you.
āEveryone is gone. My parents, Sypha, even that Belmont.ā
Is this the hand he was dealt at birth, to be stuck in this vicious circle of misfortunes? Still, he tries his best to downplay his emotions, even with his eyes burning up.
āYouāre the only one who stayed. And of all people it had to be you that I became so attached to. I donāt want you to goā¦I canātā¦ā, his wavering voice trails off to a whisper.
āI care about you a lot. I donāt want to scare you away with my feelings.ā
Heās well aware of the feelings he has buried deep inside. If he removed himself from that closeness to you, those feelings would surely pass. But in the end, the people that should have distracted him only brought you two closer. Maybe that was for the better. How could anyone afford to lose the thread and needle to their heart thatās fraying at the edges?
āAdrian, hey.ā
You gently turn his face towards you, wiping away the tears with your thumb. The lifelessness in his eyes from that night is starting to show again, but heās refusing to look at you now. You can feel the loneliness that is still eating away at him despite your presence.
āIām not going anywhere, I promise.ā
You press a soft kiss to his forehead to calm his tears. The best way to soothe his sorrows is to be present when his feelings threaten to overwhelm him.
A faint, rosy blush appears on his face as he raises his hand to place it on top of the one caressing his face. The burn around his wrist peeks out of his sleeve. Itās slowly starting to heal.
āYour feelings would never make me leave, Adrian.ā
Before you can get more than just a short glance at the soft smile forming on his lips, his face has already been buried in your neck. You can feel him whispering against your skin.
āI think I love you.ā
You are all he needs to restore his once sanguine view on life.
I hate this but I know some of you were interested in a Part 2 and Iāve been procrastinating on posting this even though I finished it days ago, Iām not happy with it ahhh. Anyway, loneliness is the worst feeling ever, poor Lulu :(
ā¦in which youāre present during Sumi and Takaās betrayal.
CW: Death, blood, SA is not explicitly described in any way but could be slightly implied depending on your interpretation of the scene in the animation!
Part 2 here!
Dazed and confused, youāre laying on your bedroomās floor. The back of your head feels like itās being split open and your memories are all over the place. Since when have you been in your room? And laying on the floor of all places? With great exertion, you look around the room as your gaze falls on the candle on top of your nightstand. The light intensifies your headache butā¦why is it even lit in the first place?
It slowly starts coming back to you. The old candle that was starting to collect dust, the one you never use. Someone came in and lit it.
Sumi and Taka.
You were laying on your bed, the uncomfortable mattress robbing you of your sleep as it did every night, when someone knocked at your door. Without waiting for an answer, Sumi and Taka entered. You sat up at the edge of your bed and the woman came to stand before you.
āItās so dark in here. You know, our rooms are on the side of the castle where the moonlight shines in.ā Without looking at you, she picked up your matches and lit the candle next to the bed.
āSo Alucard gave you the best rooms in the castle and you still wander around to find something to complain about?ā Youāve noticed their odd behavior and secrecy already, but did they really need to bring you into this?
āLookā, Sumi bent down to your level and placed her hand on your left shoulder, pulling you closer to get a better look at your face. āWe have lived as slaves under Choās rule. We know what itās like to be under a Vampireās control. We can get you away from him.ā
Him? Does she mean Alucard? But as soon as you open your mouth to reply, you feel Takaās hand on your other shoulder as heās leaning over your bed to talk to you.
āWe came here for guidance on how to slay vampires, but that son of Dracula is hiding something. We need to get rid of him.ā
You feared this would happen eventually. They were projecting their lack of trust in Alucard onto you. After all their travels and disappointing experiences with others, they couldnāt see the good in people anymore. Shrugging both hands off of your shoulders, you stood up and pushed Sumi away from you.
āI knew you were plotting something. He is a good person, he doesnāt mean any harm. How do you expect to hurt him if youāre his-ā
āTaka.ā
Right. The last thing you remember is Sumi calling out to Taka and the ensuing blow to the back of your head. Youāve been out cold on the floor for who knows how long, but the only thing on your mind right now is Alucard.
You grab onto your bedsheets and pull yourself up to your feet, your vision blurry as you pick up the candle with trembling hands. They were right, you could really use some moonlight on your side of the castle.
Despite your nauseousness, you manage to stumble into the castleās dark hallway and make your way to the other end of it. A metallic scent hangs in the air, adding to the discomfort of your bare feet hitting the cold stone tiles. In hopes that Alucard is still unharmed, your legs carry you to his bedroom.
The door is wide open and thereās a barely visible blood trail leading out of the room. Quietly, you hold onto the doorframe and try to sneak a glance into the room without making your presence known. But this turns out to be unnecessary as thereās no one left in the room. No one whoās alive, at least.
The corpses of the vampire hunters are lying on the ground, undressed and with blood running out of their necks and seeping into the bedding underneath them, a dagger laying in the middle of it. Clothes were scattered haphazardly on the floor. What is going on? As if in a trance, you stand frozen in the doorway, unable to avert your gaze from the bloodshed in the room.
āThis is my castle. I decide who is allowed to stay here.ā
Alucard was unwilling to hear you out, instead standing up to leave your room. Sumi and Taka have been basically glued to his side for the past days. While in the beginning their company was a nice change to the daily routine you and the dhampir had fallen into, their behavior has become increasingly suspicious. Of course he wouldnāt notice, itās your room that is across from theirs. Itās you who is witness to their whispered words and creeping around the castle.
āIām just saying, donāt you think theyāre acting weird? Alucard, they say theyāre vampire hunters. They already killed one of your fatherās generals, donāt you think theyāre after you?ā
He stopped in his tracks and turned around with an annoyed look on his face in stark contrast to his usual loving eyes and kind smile.
āTheyāre harmless, they just asked for my help. Donāt tell me you are jealous.ā
Failing to use their absence to your advantage and tell him about your suspicions, you stood up and took his hand into yours to pull him back in.
āIā¦how do you expect me to react? You came home with some strangers and are now saying theyāll stay with us? Youāre blinded by your loneliness, Alucard. I know youāre having a difficult time, but I promise Iām here for you.ā
Your voice trembled with worry, and despite your best attempt at trying to make him listen, he wouldnāt budge. Instead, he quickly pulled his hand out of your grasp and turned back around to leave.
āDonāt forget youāre only calling this place your home because I offered you a place hereā, he sighed heavily and started walking away, āCome down for dinner when youāre back to normal.ā
After snapping your focus away from the scene, you divert your attention to following the bloody foot prints leading up the stairs and down a hallway until you hear the echoing of muffled sobs coming from the very end of the hall. The door to Alucardās childhood bedroom is wide open. The bedroom in which youāve found him in several times, hiding away from you to grieve his parents. The bedroom in which he killed his father.
Now he lays curled up on the spot Dracula died in, a blanket stained crimson red is draped over his body, barely concealing his naked skin. The moonlight around him perfectly frames his disheveled figure lying on the burned carpet. With hurried steps you kneel at his side, hands reaching out to him but hesitating.
āAluā¦ā
He tenses in surprise and removes his hand from his face. He looks up at you, the fire of your candle is reflected in the tears spilling from his bloodshot eyes, almost glimmering enough to distract from their soullessness. His throat constricts and prevents him from gasping out anything other than your name as he reaches for you.
Pulling him to your chest, you can see the burn marks all over his skin as the blanket falls away. His fingers bunch up the fabric on the back of your nightgown, tugging you closer as he buries his face in the crook of your neck. Shame swallows him whole, you shouldnāt be seeing him this weak and helpless. His frantic gasps for air almost completely drown out the barely intelligible apologies spilling from his lips, his grip on you only tightening despite his trembling.
Countless scenarios of what might have happened run through your mind while his tears dampen your night gown that is slowly being stained from the blood on his body. Your hands instinctively begin caressing his back in an attempt to soothe him, but when he tenses up and whines in protest you move to hold him in a gentle embrace instead, avoiding any sensitive areas and resting your hand on his upper back that is sticky with sweat.
You continue whispering reassuring words to him, grounding and anchoring him to this moment with you.
He didn't mean to do this. This shouldnāt have happened.
But itās over now. Heās safe with you.
And heās not alone.
You patiently hold him, letting him take as much time as he needs to cry out the grievances that are burdening his heart.
His tense muscles slowly relax and his sobs quiet down. Lightly swaying him from side to side, his eyes become heavy and finally close.
Finally averting his gaze from his fatherās wedding ring on the ground.
And finally, the ghostly shadow of Dracula occupying his mind appears as comforting instead of frightening for the first time in a long while.
This is the scene that keeps me from rewatching. As someone who loves sad and depressing stuff, this episode made me so incredibly uncomfortable, I was shaking the whole time and I felt like shit for days afterwards. I know the creator said that Alucardās scene was consensual (the beginning at least), but the implications of SA are so clearly there for me. And then thereās also Hector. I hope this fic doesnāt make it seem like Iām excusing Sumiās and Takaās actions, Iām not.
To everyone who requested smth, Iām currently not doing requests (sorry shouldāve specified) but still, thank you for requesting, it makes me happy that ppl are interested in my writing :) My asks are always open for anything else though!
Sumi Taka scene anon, Iāve actually been thinking about doing smth similar if my mental health allows it lmao
SFW! Been catching up on jojolands after taking a break for almost three years and I still love her as much as I did when the manga started releasing >_<
ā„ Gets so happy when you visit her at work. Especially in the evening before the boutique closes and thereās barely any customers left and she can chat with you.
ā„ You know that prank where people visit their friends at work and act like theyāre a customer needing help? Go stand behind her and say āExcuse meā while sheās busy, sheāll get so excited once she realizes itās actually you.
ā„ If you have a sleepover sheād love to do her morning routine with you! First she cuts you up some watermelon and then you both go jogging at the beach. She matches your speed and encourages you to keep going but sticks to her motto of not pushing yourself too much but never giving up!
ā„ Loves to take you out to the beach at night, stargazing while laying down together on a towel that is so small that someone has to rest their head on the otherās shoulder?? So romantic to her.
ā„ Ask her for fashion tips and youāll get your own personal stylist. Does a color analysis and tells you which clothes compliment your body type best. Always hypes you up if youāre unsure about how something looks on you.
ā„ If you wanna wear a piece of clothing thatās out of your comfort zone and itās something she would wear as well, sheāll match with you. She wants you to feel safe in whatever youāre wearing, self expression through fashion is important to her and she wants you to feel comfortable enough to do the same.
ā„ If you like jewelry, sheāll get you a matching set for your anniversary. One that she can get engraved with both of your nameās initials.
ā„ Loves to be spoiled. Sheāll be SO grateful if you get her something that suits her tastes. And her smile while she thanks you? So adorable.
ā„ Has a soft spot for words of affirmation after the way she was treated by her bullies, but her favorite love language is quality time. If sheās not currently at work or occupied with whatever task Meryl Mei gave her, sheāll ask if youād like to spend time. Sheād love to have you around for even just a small trip to the grocery store. Always holding your hand too.
ā„ Itās very important to her that Jodio approves of you and it warms her heart to see you getting along with her little brother. Especially after what her Ex did.
My fav jojolands characters all reek of death pls donāt do that to me araki
The first thing I thought of was him doing her hair if itās long. And vice versa lmao. Father and daughter bonding time just consists of her messing up his hair but he doesnāt mind because he loves her so much. Anything to see her smile.
Oh and I also wanted to say that she would probably get his old room but considering what happened in thereā¦maybe not lmao. But heād make her a little doll to play with, just like when his parents made toys for him. Heād have to hold himself back not to spoil her rotten lmao since heās basically vampire royalty. And sheād be his little princess aww
Despite growing up in the 15th century heād have a progressive mindset (that mostly came from his mother) and anyone who is sexist towards her will have to deal with him. That would probably intimidate everyone lmao. And Dracula already made sure that the church stays away from anyone related to him, they donāt need all of that happening againā¦
Hi babes! I saw ur recent post and read that u wanted some thoughts about alucard, idk maybe this will make u want to write headcanons or anything you like (this isnāt a formal request but perhaps itāll help u write) okay so i have a personal headcanon that whenever alucard gets sulky with his partner heāll just turn into his wolf form and just brood and until his partner gush and dote all over him, i also have another headcanon that whenever alucard loves someone deeply he asks them to call him by his given name instead of alucard because to him it feels so intimate that heās known to the entire world as alucard son of Dracula but to his lover heās simply and truthfully just Adrian.
Alucard x Reader Headcanons!
Ahhh thank you it makes me so happy that someone sent something!! I actually have smth super short about Dracula and alu in his wolf form in my drafts but itās been rotting in there lmao. Ok now let me add on to your headcanons, youāve inspired me hahah. I hope you donāt mind me using your ask for this ^^
I didnāt know if I should tag this I feel like Iām spamming the x reader tag lmao but maybe someone would like to see your headcanons. Thank youuu again! I wonder how he would feel about nicknames that come from Alucard. I keep calling him Lulu in my head lmao. Adrian will always be his favorite thing to hear from his partner tho
ā¦a less lonely version of Alucardās dinner scene!
Based on the scene of Alucard eating alone in season 3. Still a little bittersweet, but at least heās not alone! Also tried to include this.
The castle is quiet in the early evening hours, the only sounds the rhythmic cutting of your kitchen knife and the humming of the oven. The last rays of sunlight shine in through the kitchen window and warm your skin while Adrian is in search of something that would add more flavor to your meal.
Youāve gotten so much closer in the last month and heās eternally grateful for your decision to stay with him. How could you have possibly refused when he had asked you so shyly? Taking his fathers life has left a deep, ugly gash in his heart and despite trying to hide the way it affects him, his lifeless eyes betray his true feelings. But they seem to be brightening up lately, mostly thanks to you.
Suddenly youāre ripped out of your thoughts by a hand on your right shoulder and your boyfriendās soft breath against your left ear, āHere, there was some salt left in the pantry. Itāll make the garlic taste even better.ā
There he goes again, always trying to scare you half to death. Now that no night creatures need to be slayed anymore, he loves using his vampire abilities to sneak up on you whenever he can, just to see your reaction.
āYouāre gonna end up killing me one day.ā
His arms snake around your waist as he presses a soft kiss to your temple, hugging you from behind and letting his lips linger for a moment before answering, āMy apologies love. We donāt want that now, do we?ā
"Mhm, yeah right. You know, l've been wondering. Why do you want to eat garlic? I thought vampires didn't like it."
"Have you forgotten I can walk in the sun? I'm not your average vampire, love. The smell is a little more...pungent than it is for you, but I do enjoy the taste. And roasting it mellows it out."
He watches over your shoulder as you finish cutting up the tomatoes. Which pantry did he get the garlic from anyway? Adrian has slowly been showing you around the castle, but the size of it is astonishing. Numerous doors in the winding, eery hallways lead to rooms you deem entirely unnecessary. If he hadnāt grown up here, he would likely feel just as lost as you are.
āSmells nice. Youāve improved a lot, you managed to catch your own fish todayā, he praises you, opening the oven and pulling out the tray of roasted garlic.
You walk over to the table and sit at your usual spot, watching him plate your food. The sunlight catches in his eyes beautifully and accentuates their golden color as he looks at you. Despite being half vampire, heās the most angelic person youāve ever met. Always so soft spoken, always so sweet to you. āHere you go, dearā, your meal is placed right in front of you: freshly caught fish, sliced tomatoes and roasted garlic, and your boyfriend sitting across from you.
A couple of nights ago Alucard opened up to you about his parents for the first time and reminisced about his early childhood, playing with the toys they had made for him. His mother taught him how to sew when he was young, saying that despite being a boy, he needed to learn this basic skill, she didnāt care about traditional gender roles. Only after the death of Dracula did he start to properly mourn her, always having been too distracted by trying to stop his fatherās impending carnage on humanity.
As an attempt to cheer him up, you asked him to share how his mother taught him to sew. And now thereās dolls of Sypha and Trevor staring down at you from the shelves. Needless to say, the stitches ended up looking very messy and he mightāve not remembered much, but you gave it your all nonetheless. You wonder if they will ever return.
āWe captured Belmontās hideousness perfectly.ā And there it is, the smug smile that your boyfriend reserves for this one single man.
"Their faces aren't detailed enough for that", you laugh, his childish comments about Trevor always make you smile. His gaze flicks back to your mouth as you take a bite and he hums.
"That's fine, this is as much detail as he deserves. But once I improve, I'll make the perfect doll of you."
"Of me? I sure hope you won't use spoons for my arms like we did for them."
That made him chuckle. "No, no spoons for you. But Iāll make sure to capture every little detail of your beautiful face.ā
You roll your eyes, what a charmer. But knowing him now, he actually means it, despite all the times youāve teased each other before. At the beginning of your journey to defeating Dracula, there were moments in which you were irritated by the otherās smart comments, but now youāve come to value each otherās presence more than before. Thatās what living together does to people with budding feelings.
Adrian suddenly chuckles, staring at your mouth as youāre eating. Whatās so funny?
āWhat.ā
āNothing, loveā, but he canāt seem to wipe the smile off of his face.
Is there something stuck between your teeth already? You only just started eating. Out of embarrassment, you lift your hand to cover your mouth.
He leans over the table far enough to reach you and gently removes your hand from your face. Instead, his finger now slowly swipes across your lower lip. āSmile for me, dear.ā
Your heart flutters in your chest, despite being around him all the time now, he still somehow manages to find new ways to fluster you. Out of embarrassment, your smile is rather awkward, but he got what he wanted.
āThatās adorable. Your canines are so tiny.ā
āObviouslyā¦Iām a human.ā
āSo cute. They look like the fangs of a baby vampireā¦No, even I had longer ones than you do nowā, he tells you in his typical soft spoken way, his voice even quieter now that his face is so close to yours. Heās teasing you again, he must be in a good mood today.
But the tender atmosphere is disrupted when you decide to bite the finger resting on your lip. Unfortunately, this only makes his eyes widen for a second before heās back to chuckling.
āYouāll have to grow sharper fangs for that to work, love.
I rewatched the scene for this and wtf. āItās only been a month. I think.ā </3 Kill me kill me kill me
Tag list: @haze-ez @00hellohello00 @ceas-aliving this might not be what you expected lmao but I hope this is ok!
I want to see a Miniroth or maybe even a Babyroth scene in the third part of the remake. Thereās so much additional content that wasnāt there in the og so surely they could add a scene to show more of Sephās devastating backstory right?
They already have his miniroth model so please. I need to cry about him some more. Just a couple of scenes of him growing up at Shinra with adult Seph talking over them as heās describing his horrible childhood :(
Imagine Alucard finding his human s/oās canines absolutely adorable because theyāre so small compared to his:
Sitting at the dinner table, you notice Adrian trying to discreetly glance at your mouth whenever you take a bite. Is there something stuck between your teeth?? You smile nervously, trying not to make it obvious that youāre flustered by him sneaking glances at you. And thatās when he starts laughing. So there IS something wrong with your teeth. But when you ask him whatās funny all you get is a ānothing, love.ā Ok??
This took so long but I wanted to try this at least once.
Word count over 3,000, my longest post yet!
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
It takes him a long time to start being affectionate with you, heās just not used to it anymore. He isnāt that big on physical affection, but at home his hand is glued to your waist whenever possible and after some time in your relationship, he canāt stop kissing the top of your head. Doesnāt really like PDA.
He much prefers showing that he cares about you! Listens very intently whenever you tell him something and watches your expressions closely. It was a little intimidating at the beginning but you realized heās doing it out of genuine interest in you and what youāre talking about. Itās also easier to catch any hidden meanings behind your words while looking into your eyes.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
The only way to get close to him is by working with him, preferably in his own team. He doesnāt want other people to get too attached to him and vice versa, itās too dangerous. But heās still human obviously, so if you linger around after meetings heād enjoy the company. Youāre already in the mafia, it wouldnāt hurt to get closer to you, right? Youād have to start most conversations as heās not the most talkative person. But even if you only get short answers out of him, he still appreciates your presence.
Heās good at feeling your mood shift and is very in tune with your emotions once he knows you well. He really cares about his teamās well-being and has deep respect for them, so the same goes for you. He always has your back and is good at telling what youāre thinking about, heās observant.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He really likes it when you rest your head on his chest while laying down in bed with his arm wrapped around your waist. Also likes being the big spoon. But the first one is likely the only position he can fall asleep in, he feels way too hot otherwise. If you want to cuddle any other way heād do it as long as heās the one holding you, but as soon as he gets too sweaty heād switch positions or just fall asleep next to you without physical contact.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Maybe he could settle down with you one day after the whole mafia business is over. It would haunt him for the rest of his life, but a quiet life somewhere near the sea would do him good. Heād like to move back to Sicily, somewhere where his family wouldnāt find him. Risotto does miss them but after all the lives heās taken he couldnāt bear seeing them again.
Heās alright at cooking, his food is tasty with the perfect amount of seasoning but he never cooks anything fancy. Most of the time he eats some type of pasta.
His apartment is kind of empty, he only has the most necessary furniture and doesnāt see the point in decorating. But it would be clean! Immediately cleans the dishes when heās done eating because he doesnāt know when heāll get back home and definitely doesnāt need any flies or in the worst case mold greeting him when he returns TT.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Prepares himself mentally for days in advance, he needs to be mentally checked out already to not feel absolutely horrible in the moment. He says he needs to talk to you and then tells you very curtly, Risotto can be very direct. He hopes that if he doesnāt make it seem like a big deal you might not have a very big reaction, which would only make it even more difficult for him to push his feelings down. Tells you the reasoning behind his decision (most likely his job) because if heās already telling you this rudely, you definitely deserve to know. But after that heās not open to talking about it any longer in fear of being persuaded by you to stay, heās already made his decision, tells you heās sorry and leaves.
If youāre on his team he wouldnāt treat you with less respect than before, but he definitely avoids being alone in the same room with you.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Heās not getting married in his line of work, no way. Even if youāre in the mafia, itās just too dangerous to him - he knows from experience how easy it is to find out basically everything about someoneās life and he doesnāt want people to find that connection between you two.
If he wasnāt in the mafia, heād want to get married for sure. He was a very family-oriented person in the past and has always longed for a deep connection with his significant other. But he believes you can have a fulfilling relationship without being married to each other. Will promise you heās yours forever, just without all of the paper stuff.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Heās a little rough around the edges when it comes to relationships. He hasnāt been in a serious one ever since he joined the mafia so he needs a little time to get used to being with someone again. As an assassin, gentleness is not something he deals with daily, if at all. Donāt get me wrong, heās not rude to you or anything and he definitely treats his partner with respect but just give him a little time to warm up. Not just to the emotional aspect of a relationship, but also to get used to gentle and loving physical touch again.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
He rarely initiates them, maybe if youāre feeling bad and he knows it makes you feel better, but he prefers giving reassuring back rubs while sitting next to you whenever you pour your heart out to him. You know the ones where someone caresses the entirety of your back slowly? Heād be super gentle, his hands are probably huge and warm as well. He doesnāt like sugarcoating his words and prefers staying realistic and gives you his honest opinion and advice. But back to the prompt!
If he does hug you, heāll gently hold your head against his chest or shoulder and wrap his other arm around you and stay that way for a long while. Also hugs you from the back whenever youāre occupied with something and he comes up to you out of boredom, he likes looking at what youāre doing over your shoulder. Even as someone who isnāt crazy about physical touch he needs it sometimes. But youāll only get these hugs when itās just the two of you.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Youād probably have to start saying it first. If you do, and he feels like he truly does love you back, he will say so.
The first time he decided to finally say it first he nonchalantly told you after he kissed you goodbye when you were about to leave his place after spending the night. Or at least he meant to say it nonchalantly, but his tone was way softer than intended. Apparently heās not very good at hiding his feelings for his loved one.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when theyāre jealous?)
Heās very secure in your relationship and doesnāt get jealous easily. Whenever he is, he just tells you that he doesnāt like how close you are to whoever heās jealous of but doesnāt make a big deal out of it. If he notices you seeking someone elseās attention he probably wouldnāt even blame you that much. Sure, he might think itās a little disrespectful to your relationship depending on how far you go, but he secretly blames himself a bit for not giving you enough of what you need from him.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
His kisses are firm, if youāre smaller than him heād tilt your chin up with his hand. Also lovesss kissing your forehead or the top of your head if possible, he keeps his lips pressed against you for a couple of seconds. Sometimes when youāre alone and sitting next to each other he takes your hand and lifts it to his lips to kiss it without saying anything. Likes being kissed on his jaw! Most likely would never kiss you in front of his team, he wants to stay professional.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
He doesnāt mind them, they are scared of him anyway. I donāt see him as the type to get annoyed by their screaming and crying, he understands theyāre just kids after all.
When he was younger he was very loved by the kids in his family and neighborhood, like a big brother figure. He always took even the most insignificant of problems seriously and thought that no matter how young someone is, if they are upset by something they should be taken seriously.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Most of the time his assassinations are carried out in the evening or night and his sleep schedule is all messed up because he wakes up as soon as people start making noise outside. He doesnāt feel like laying in bed wide awake but you might be able to make him stay for a bit longer if you cuddle up to him. Expect him to be a little groggy in the morning. Heās not very chatty in general, but heās completely silent in the morning.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Like I mentioned above, heās likely not home at night or comes home way past midnight. On the rare occasion he is at home, he loves spending a quiet and relaxing evening with you. Heās very glad youāre there, normally heād start thinking about how his life turned out when he is alone. Please give him a massage or take a bath with him, he desperately needs to rest.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
It takes a VERY long time for him to open up even just a tiny bit and the amount of trust heād have to have in you is huge. Itās very obvious that he doesnāt trust easily due to how little at a time he tells you. Always just tiny aspects about his personal life to gauge your reaction, like heās testing the waters. He doesnāt like talking about himself in general but if youāre his partner you deserve to know.
He would eventually tell you how much it means to him that you make him feel safe enough to open up about his past and thank you.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
His anger is silent. Especially after what the boss did to Sorbet and Gelato, he knows and admits heās angry but he needs to remain cool-headed for the sake of his team.
A great example for this is when heās sitting alone with Melone and Ghiaccio, who starts screaming about the unfair pay. Risotto agrees with him and doesnāt stop him, just sits there silently.
When heās focused on something, he doesnāt let Ghiaccioās anger affect him. We see this in the scene where Ghia first brings up their salary and Risotto redirects the conversation to a more pressing issue: the absence of their team members.
He does get angry but doesnāt lash out. He held onto his anger for years before he murdered the killer of his relative, the assassination was likely premeditated instead of a crime of passion, since the killer was imprisoned.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Very good at noticing and remembering things that are important to people around him. Working as an assassin has taught him to pay attention to how people behave and think, and he even notices tiny habits or quirks even you might not be aware of, so he does remember most of what you tell him.
On hard days though, he sometimes mentally drifts off to a different place in his mind while youāre talking about trivial things. But isnāt that just a sign that heās comfortable around you and doesnāt feel the need to analyze every tiny word?
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Whenever he does normal things with you. Sounds a bit boring but life as a mafioso is insanely stressful at times and assassinating people so frequently makes him feel like heās being stripped of his humanity. Those small moments whenever youāre cooking together, talking about mundane things like the weather or just being around each other while each of you is occupied with their own thing anchors him to the normal, human part of his life.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Very protective of you, he obviously doesnāt want any harm coming your way. Which is why heās so hesitant to let others see you together in public.
If you work under him you can be assured that he would take your fighting and stand abilities into consideration to decide whether you could work alone or would need someone to accompany you. He would hate for something to go wrong due to a mistake on his part. If your stands work well together, heād like to accompany you as often as possible. His stand is strong and he knows how to use it, heās confident in his ability to protect you.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Risotto doesnāt like going on dates outside, itās too dangerous to risk someone seeing you spending so much time together. He feels a lot safer at night though, heād like to sit somewhere near the ocean in comfortable silence and be all alone with you. The gentle sound of the waves makes for the perfect atmosphere to get him to open up a little and have deep talks.
He prefers leaving gifts in your apartment instead of giving them to you directly. Seeing you so excited about receiving something you had mentioned before makes him a little shy, he just doesnāt know how to react. Risotto doesnāt want you to feel like heās buttering you up on purpose, he just loves seeing you happy.
Anniversaries would probably only matter to him if you think theyāre special. He loves you every day so whatās the point in only making a big deal out of a single day? But he does like reminiscing on your experiences together and it makes him feel warm inside when he realizes how long youāve been dating.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
He blames himself a lot whenever anything work-related goes wrong. He felt responsible for Sorbetās and Gelatoās deaths, even if they made the decision to seek out the boss themselves. Maybe he shouldāve tried to gain Diavoloās trust. Maybe he shouldāve paid more attention to what his team members are up to. What could he have done to prevent this from happening?
Another ābad habitā would be his seeming lack of trust in your relationship at the beginning. This ties in with the point about how long it would take for him to open up to you. If he barely tells you anything, surely he must be hiding something. And he is, in a way, but not out of ill intent. This results in him seeming distant at times.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Ok so. He likes looking intimidating and scary because people are less likely to get attached to him. Luckily he doesnāt have to try very hard because heās always been taller than the majority of people. When he joined the mafia, he got his scleras tattooed because he believes you can see a personās soul in their eyes and if his have an unnatural color, he'll come across as intimidating and unapproachable. I like to think he got the idea after seeing Polpo for the first time. Works perfectly with his red eyes as well. Being scary-looking is also beneficial to his position as a team leader, Iām sure some of them were very intimidated by him when they first joined. He likes looking alternative in general.
When it comes to his clothing style he just wears whatever he likes and doesnāt care about what others think. Probably why he has the courage to wear a hat that looks like a jesters cap, even as someone in his position TT
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
If youāve been together for a long time and have a deep emotional connection, then definitely. Youāre the only person he can fully let his guard down around and the only one who truly knows what heās like. When youāre not around anymore he has to go back to suppressing his feelings without having anyone he can confide in and it hurts him deeply.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
He was extremely lonely when he joined the mafia. He grew up in a neighborhood with old houses in Sicily where people literally leave their doors open during the day to make the heat more bearable and acquaintances waltzed in frequently to have a chat. His family and friends were constantly around and he saw them everyday. He misses the tight-knit community and feeling of being a part of a loving family. Even if he now has his own little team, nothing will ever compare to the feeling of truly belonging somewhere.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldnāt like, either in general or in a partner?)
Someone who is too emotionally dependent or wants to be around him all the time. He needs someone who has no problem being away from their partner for longer periods of time. Sometimes he needs to observe targets to find out more about their daily routines and figure out who he should send on the mission, which can take up a lot of time. Also just very busy in general and needs his alone time.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
As an assassin, heās spent years sharpening his senses and he wakes up very easily. If youāre sleeping in the same bed and toss and turn around a lot he wouldnāt mind much, he knows you wouldnāt try harming him after all. But sometimes, after you get back from going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you see him turned towards the door, holding the blanket up for you to slip under. You always disrupt his sleep when you leave, but at least he falls asleep quickly once youāre back.
Super random but Risotto says something along the lines of āMetallica will grace you with the gift of deathā to doppio in the German dub and I canāt stop thinking about it for some reason, he sounds pretty cool. Risotto being from Sicily is something Iāve been thinking about a lot recently, the door thing is real btw lmao
